Engine released under GPL, but the media required to play the game is commercially licensed.
It's what John Carmack did with id games.
You pay the game creators for their art, or you can find free art and play the game with that.
There is an important difference between Google and Microsoft. Google is using their market dominance to push their opinions on the open standards bodies; Microsoft used their market dominance to ignore standards bodies completely.
Is it USB 2 or USB 3? Is it 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2? Gen 1, Gen 2, or Gen 2x2? Do I need USB-A or Micro USB or USB-C? Do I need USB-A on one end of this cable and USB-C on the other, or some other combination? Does it support Quick Charge or Power Delivery? If it's Power Delivery, how many Watts?
Those are just some of the questions non-technical consumers are expected to know the answers to when they are buying USB products.
This is absurd.
Bingo
The fact that C++ versioning uses two digits for the year is the most 1980s thing about it.
We don’t arbitrarily stop every single person to ferret them out.
This is NYC we're talking about. Stop-and-Frisk was a fun game the cops played for years.
The law makes a clear distinction between entrapment and opportunity.
Setting up a "honeypot" is not entrapment.
That's not to say that this was anything other than a waste of time and resources, and a textbook example of what happens when a law enforcement agency is unleashed from regulation.
Since the government insists that it has the authority to violate the 4th Amendment whenever it feels like if I'm in a 100-mile vicinity of a border, I really want devices to have "reset switches" which reset the device to, if not a factory-default state, then a state of "just completed initial configuration without logging into any services."
Which is the state I now feel compelled to set my devices whenever I travel, and then restore from a remote backup when I reach my destination.
You can't prepare for the complete collapse of civilization.
Even the Survivalists who go out with "nothing" and build their shelters, start their own fires, hunt their food, they still need backpacks to carry their gear. They still need gear to carry, like saws, axes, fishing poles, knives. They still need clothes to wear. They still depend on the infrastructure of society in myriad ways.

"Do Emacs and Vim users have some other characteristic that makes them more likely to succeed during interviews?"
I think the Interview Pass Rates chart makes it clear that the answer is a statistical "Yes", at least for Emacs.
I should start a bootcamp to help prospective students prepare to attend a bootcamp.
Shelby Stanger had a great interview with her on the most recent episode of the "Wild Ideas Worth Living" REI podcast.

I wonder how much of the increasing success of Azure is creditable to its deep integration with Visual Studio Code.
"Linux Kernel in a Nutshell" was indispensable when hacking on the kernel in my Operating Systems class back when I was in college. It's really a shame it hasn't been updated since 2006.
I am referring to the "Chinese vendors and mfgs" in the parent comment, not the entire Chinese "race." I called them conscience-less.
In support of my view, I quoted the World Health Organization stating that these people knew what they were doing, and it was done intentionally on a large scale.
In your view, is the World Health Organization fond of writing "racist white supremcist[sic] drivel"?
How is it "racist" or "white supremacist" to express horror at injury and death of Chinese babies? If I were either of those slurs, I would be celebrating this scandal, not expressing horror at it.
Dev.to has been gaining popularity.
Who is "they"?
From the parent comment: "Chinese vendors and mfgs"
They proved they have no conscience with the Chinese baby formula scandal[1]: putting melamine in baby formula to save a little money, knowing that doing so would be poisoning infant children.
"A spokesman said the scale of the problem proved it was 'clearly not an isolated accident, [but] a large-scale intentional activity to deceive consumers for simple, basic, short-term profits.'"

Why can't all cities have waterways clean enough for swimming like Copenhagen's Harbor Baths?
Guessing that Israel feels (or was explicitly told to be) unleashed to act against Iran by the Trump administration after Bolton entered.
I'm curious if Amazon will find motivation to rebuild Amazon Linux, it being based on RHEL at the moment.
"Generating the certs is a complicated hassle."
Not really... I will grant that the openssl commands are a bit non-obvious.
Step 1: Generate private key
openssl ecparam -genkey -name secp384r1 -out key.pem
Step 2: Create and sign cert
openssl req -x509 -sha512 -nodes -days 365 -key key.pem -subj "/CN=example.com" -reqexts SAN -extensions SAN -config <(cat /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf <(printf '[SAN]\nsubjectAltName=DNS:example.com,DNS:*.example.com')) -out cert.pem
Not just years; decades. About a quarter of a century.
