I think the assertion might even have been true for non-pathological cases 20 to 40 years ago. A company that chose Visual Basic or Perl would have had a much harder road than one which chose C# or Python. But i think the languages which ha

The majority of popular PvP shooters use anti-cheat which does not work on Proton, so "almost all modern games" seems like overselling it to me. But the stuff that does work, works well. I play Helldivers 2 via Proton on Fedora, a

I couldn't run Delta Force [1], due to anti-cheat as far as i can tell. Shame about Battlefield 6, some of my friends are playing that and it would be fun to join them. Oh well. Fortunately they're mostly still playing Helldivers

"servers" is the key word here. Some of the tools listed on that page are just slightly "improved" versions of common sysadmin utilities, and indeed, those are probably not worth it. But some are really development tools

From a quick look at the construction, it seems that is the case. The British and German stations (and perhaps others) use a different approach, standing on mobile legs that can be raised, allowing the snow foundation underneath to be built

The flip side is that the expectation is not very high. The interviewer knows you're not working in a proper professional coding environment, so they don't expect proper professional code. They do expect you to be able to produce
