There are very good kernels written in Ada, like Ironclad[1].
Besides, what's the point of this comment? What if people wanted to write a million more Unix-like kernels in C? Do you think this is bad? Why do you care? If you want, just write your own in whatever language you want, with whatever design you want.
> Why not Plan 9 in Zig, or Hare, or even D?
Because nobody to this point was interested in doing this. It's really that simple.

That color scheme is nice for my eyes.

That website format is very interesting. The original text (while also hyperlinked) on one side, and notes/explanations on the other side.

Debugging with GDB from Emacs is amazing; thanks to Nick Roberts and Dmitry Dzhus.

Ubuntu is supposed to be the most intuitive or friendly distro (very arguable), but it's a shame how bad and bloated it is.
I have been using steam in arch-based distros for a very long time and I have had no issues at all running most Windows games (see https://protondb.com). As someone else mentioned, the only real issue might be anti-cheats in competitive games.

Basic/minimal designs are fine, but just by looking at the brand logo the buyer isn't really showing that he supports free open source projects, at least right now. Perhaps adding some tech-specific designs, as the other user suggested, would help associate your brand with that. I wish you the best.

Source code is not public? I rather read with my eyes.

Say whatever you want, but this is how websites should be designed.

It's the first time I ever see the function parameters declared like this:
int my_function (a, b)
int a; char *b;
{
... body of function ...
}

Sure, but do you think that's the reason why there is an interest in promoting diverse teams? For helping the people "grow up"? Besides, that's only true if the differences are relatively small, you can't understand and relate to everyone. You can obviously collaborate with them on a professional level.

> They really want you but don't want you to think that so they can get you to accept less in the negotiation.
I wouldn't call this shady, it's just basic business. If you want to buy a house, and you want to lower the price, you can't act all excited.

> modern HR philosophy seems to be "Always keep the employee/candidate on their back foot." Always make sure the corporation is Alpha Dog.
This is absolutely true. A good way of accomplishing a more submissive team is by making it more diverse. If the members of the team can't relate to one another, the less personal connection, and the more submissive each person is to the guys on top.
I am sure some people will think this is not the case and that companies just care about "making things right".

> "Tell me about a change that's been made with the support of senior leadership to improve engineering culture." [...] If the answers I get are too diplomatic, then my suspicion is that changes aren't being made to improve culture.
There is no "engineering culture" in a company. I don't know why everyone loves that word so much.

I was going to type something like this. I don't know how the interviews are in your country, but in mine the interviewer doesn't take this well.
Isn't this kind of ironic?
