I’m with you there. Maybe all the gray was off putting to people, but I liked that the ui elements were more visually distinct from the content without being overly elaborate and distracting.
These days, my daily driver is a gnome desktop on Linux, and it gets the balance right without looking dated, imo.
Copy+paste the article into GPTZero, and every sentence is flagged as likely to be generated text.
Furthermore, the article is utterly devoid of substance. Every section reads like boilerplate filler that could maybe be building to some larger point, then the article ends with basically “people use the OS that meets their needs.”
It’s a junk article on what appears to be a junk site.
I see two possible reasons for your situation. One is that the company is turning to contractors to fill in gaps in their knowledge/experience, which is why everyone else has no clue how to tackle these tasks and why they get assigned the easy ones.
The other possibility is that the senior devs are gaming the metrics, letting the employees knock out easy tasks while the contractor is stuck with untangling the knots of the more intractable tasks.

Most of my recent experience with office is on corporate laptops loaded down with enterprise management software, antivirus, etc, so I relate to this meme.
After being on Linux desktops for both work and home for the last few years, it’s jarring how sluggish corporate windows laptops can be, even with new and fast hardware.
Filet mignon in cast iron and ribeye in carbon steel. Dry brined for one day, cooked in avocado oil, basted in ghee and garlic, and finished with a little cracked pepper.
The steaks were actually cooked to opposite preferences. The filet was a perfect medium rare, but my wife likes it more medium/medium well. The ribeye was a solid medium, but I like it more medium rare.
The ribeye was delicious, though, and my wife was happy, so no complaints.
GPL can be used for commercial purposes, but it requires all software derived from it to also be open source and GPL compatible. So no one whose commercial business relies on selling software will use GPL because their customers can copy and distribute the code.
Neither Safari nor Chrome’s rendering engine is GPL. Safari’s engine is LGPL, which means the binary library can be linked into a closed source program, but modifications to the library’s code must remain open.
Chromium is BSD, which doesn’t even require modifications to remain open. So I can take chromium’s source, change it however I want for my own browser, and never distribute that code.
If Safari’s and Chrome’s engines were GPL, Safari and Chrome would be forced to be open source, and they very much are not.
While I’m too much of an optimist to say that we’ll never figure out viable fusion power, I do think you’re more right than wrong.
Fission power is essentially us discharging a fusion battery, where the battery was charged by a supernova. We don’t get any free help with fusion, and we have to replicate input energies only seen in nature with stellar amounts of gravitational mass. It is (IMO) an important area of research, but I don’t expect it to power our cities in my lifetime.
We know that women students and staff remain underrepresented in Higher Education STEM disciplines. Even in subjects where equivalent numbers of men and women participate, however, many women are still disadvantaged by everyday sexism.

Source? The Yale link above specifically mentions:
Nationally, women make up 57.3% of bachelor’s degree recipients but only 38.6% of STEM bachelor’s degree recipients.
Anecdotally, I was in a STEM-focused school and major over 20 years ago, and it was overwhelming male-dominated. One of my colleagues graduated less than 10 years ago, and her experience was not dissimilar. She had to deal with quite a bit of sexism too, unfortunately.
KSP2 released their science patch this month that adds missions and a progression path to work through. It’s a lot more fun now that there are goals to work towards, and the missions are much better than what KSP1’s career mode offered.
I’ve been co-op’ing through DS3 with a buddy, which has been a fun way to tide us over until Elden Ring’s DLC comes out. I just wish there was a similar seamless co-op mod for DS3. Neither of us are interested in PvP, and it’s a little tedious to have to go through everything twice.
If you have Elden Ring on PC, check out the seamless co-op mod. We were able to play through the whole game with very few issues. No invasions, no resummoning after bosses, normal use of torrent. It’s fantastic, and it’s shocking how well the mod works.

You can generally rely on a header file doing its own check to prevent being included twice. If a header doesn’t do that, it’s either wrong or doing something fucky. It is merely a convention, but it’s so widespread that you really don’t need to worry about it.
You are mixing up some terms, so I want to help clarify. When you #include a header file, you aren’t importing a library. You are telling the compiler to insert the contents of that header file into your source where the #include line is. A library is something different. It is an already-compiled binary file. A library should also come with a header file to tell you what functions and classes are present in the library, but that header isn’t itself the library.
It may seem annoying to have to repeat yourself between headers and source, but it’s honestly something you get used to.
There’s no downside to writing the guards afaik, but I’m more of a c programmer. It’s been a while since I did much c++, so I’m not up on modern conventions. But dealing with legacy code adhering to older conventions often comes with the territory with c and c++, so it’s something to keep in mind.
Windows 7 with Aero Glass, in my opinion, was the last version of windows that actually felt warm and comfortable to use. 8, 10 and 11 all feel so cold, sterile and boring. (i.redd.it)
