Many companies use RHEL Workstation to run proprietary GUI applications. The application usually runs on RHEL Servers and uses X11 forwarding to show the GUI on the Workstation.
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.
A very important part of people trusting you is them being able to understand what you say without making extra efforts compared to a native speaker.
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 security team cares about minimizing risks to the company and to their own careers.
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.
You can still have use-after-free errors when you use array indices.
This can happen if you implement a way to "free" elements stored in the vector.
"free" should be interpreted in a wide sense.
There's no way for Rust to prevent you from marking an array index as free and later using it.
English exams for ESL students are a great example.
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.
I understood that you were making an analogy between installing a piece of hardware and its associated kernel driver with installing a game and its associated kernel anticheat.
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.
In my case, I work with proprietary EDA tools. Vendors love messing with LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Chaos ensues when they override a system library or two versions require mutually incompatible versions.
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.
Do you think that Pakistanis don't know already that their country is poorly run and that their politicians are corrupt and incompetent?
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.
FAANG pays very well, and money can be exchanged for goods and services.
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.
