Or they could just

struct stat st;
stat(argv[i], &st);
int fd = open(argv[i], O_RDONLY);
sendfile(stdout, fd, NULL, st.st_size);
close(fd);
}
```

not exactly. Even without the relicence, gcc was lagging due to :rms: mental retardation. For one, he was vehemently against stabilising the intermediate representation in GCC (the gimple) and making GCC modular (splitting the backend into a library), for the fears that the evil corpos will employ parts of GCC in their proprietary IDEs. The unholy abominations like gccxml were attempts to do exactly that without :thinking_rms: approval.
If you have ever wondered why L'Eunuchs development tooling is so mindbogglingly inadequate and why Windows had proper autocomplete and an integrated build system in MSVS in since 90s while gnutards were stuck with emacs, this is the reason.

depends on what interpretation you subscribe to.
The fact of the matter is, these "interpretations" of quantum physics are different theories altogether, some predicting different things than others. In the many-worlds theory by Everett, there is no such thing as an observer, but there are entanglement and decoherence. You could say that an "observer" is someone or something entangled with the quantum system that he "observes".

GNOME is the default in Debian, so why not? Then again, same goes for KDE. KDE5 has twice as many themes available as KDE6, even though the latter is two years old now and there has been plenty of time.
If anything, Linux environments are no less hostile against modders with their constant API changes. Porting Plasma widgets from KDE5 to 6 is hell, this is personal experience.

no, you don't. Linux weenies love complaining about the lack of source code, but Windows used to have a very active modding community around it. There used to be shell replacements for Windows that allowed customising the look and feel more than Linux allows today.
The momentum dropped, just as there are much fewer themes for KDE today than there used to be in KDE3/4 times. But it's entirely possible to mod Windows into anything.

I've just interviewed a guy for a senior programming position. The dude claims to have almost 20 years of C and C++ coding experience in telecommunications, automotive, and UAVs. He could barely explain what virtual memory is and how it works, had no idea about address spaces or NUMA, wasn't aware about memory-mapped IO or mapping memory in general. Difference between processes and threads? Naaaah... He also didn't know how networking stack works--despite seemingly having been working on distributed software--what's the difference between MAC and IP addresses, how far MAC addresses do propagate, what a network packet consists of, et cetera.
"These strings, there is some terminating byte, right?"
Actual words he uttered.
So listen to me, fedi. This guy has had a job for almost 20 years, an actual paying job in large tech companies, and he was paid handsomely. You are definitely better than this, regardless of how hopeless you think you are. So, SHUT THE FUCK UP YOUR IMPOSTOR SYNDROME, MAKE A GOD DAMN RESUME, AND APPLY FOR A JOB. Because if you don't, someone will hire that moron in your stead and it will be your fault.
