Agreed. The reason is more "we are running supported software in a supported combination of hardware, OS and application". That's what auditors are looking for. I've yet to see a real benefit beyond the paperwork advanta

I agree. The Tab interface is unusable. new FF opens lots more new tabs than the old one. But the list is less readable, less usable, and closing tabs is a chore (!) because there is a list-slide-animation that makes you miss the next X to

Everything that needs more than a single process won't run, either because it needs a system service or because it does multi-process-sandboxing. Single-address-space is extremely limiting for a lot of stuff, so most webservers are out

There are a few roadblocks that probably will not be overcome, at least not without introducing more of those abstraction layers. The binary format itself is a roadblock, because the loader of your OS needs to know that in order to load and

Imho, organizing code in a braindead way (like single-implementation-interfaces) just to be able to test it is one of the main problems of bad code and bad languages. You make your code harder to understand, more convoluted and less refacto

Well, but in that case the curriculum is even more screwed up because they picked exercise topics (and death penalty is the classic) that according to your arguments are totally unsuitable. You are arguing to limit critical thinking to the

I'm not sure if I didn't get it or I got it all too well... If you want to educate pupils to be critical, then of course they need to be critical not only in a curriculum-intended classroom setting. They need to be critical in all

Critical reading in the german curriculum is far from unbiased in the selection of topics: Should we have the death penalty? Of course not, arguing otherwise will get you a bad grade. What about the yellow-press? Universally bad of course,
