Running the same OS on the client and on the server makes support much simpler. ISVs may not even support more modern OSs like Fedora or Ubuntu.

Those companies don't need an Office Suite as they have Windows machines that can run Microsoft Office. They just need a Linux desktop environment that is easy to use and stays out of the way when accessing the Workstation through VNC.

An easy way to improve intonation and fluency is to imitate a native speaker. Copying things like the intervocalic T and D is a consequence of that. It would be easier for a native Spanish speaker to say the Spanish /t/ and /d/ but intonation and fluency would be impaired.

The sounds don't "flow" as they should.

Think encoding or decoding non-overlapping parts of a video.

No other terminal implements it AFAIK.

Deviating from what everybody else is doing makes it so that the burden of proving that your policies are sane is on you and if anything bad happens your head is the first to roll.

You use CrowdStrike and the company lost millions of dollars due to the outage? That's not your problem, you applied industry standard practices.

You don't use CrowdStrike and the company got hacked? You will have to explain to the executives and the board why you didn't apply industry standard practices and you will be fired.

In my mind an optimizing compiler is a pure function that takes source code and produces an object file.

Emacs would have to start another process for Elisp analysis and code completion. That would be a massive reachitecture of the system.

Getting good grades in those exams requires that you know the criteria for evaluating each part of the exam and how to tailor your answer to that criteria. For example, if the exam asks you to write a short movie review you are expected to follow the formula for reviews and show that you can use certain specific grammar constructs.

If you know English well but you don't practice the exam before you will get a mediocre grade, simply because you didn't follow the tacit guidelines that you are expected to know.

When you install a hardware device you are trusting the manufacturer with full access to your machine, so installing a driver does not give them any more powers. You have already "unlocked the door".

When you install a game that runs on user space you are not trusting the vendor nearly as much as you are trusting a hardware manufacturer. Installing a kernel anti cheat is granting them a level of trust and access to your machine that they didn't have before.

User space applications can't access hardware or physical memory. They can't bypass permissions enforced by the OS. None of that applies to hardware or kernel drivers.

That would give the lower TCP enough time to transmit the original segment.

That threat may be enough to dissuade students from cheating with AI.

I agree with the comment you are replying to. Having broken my home Linux installs too many times has taught me how to diagnose and fix this sort of issues.

What makes you say that?

It's pretty condescending to expect a lecture from a foreign government official to be well received and to tell them something they don't already know.

I know that having benefits like a free bike feels good, but the total compensation you are getting is much lower than that of people that work for big tech and pay for their own transportation.

This is the same thing. Businesses that are closer to the consumer make more money than their suppliers.
