atheist said Windows: "works, but..."
Linux: "doesn't work, but...",The objective c stdlib is pretty cool, it's what backs the swift stdlib on mac. The collection classes dynamically switch backend depending on size and expected performance characteristics. EG a set of 3 items is faster to linearly search a vector, so it'll switch that out.

I'm not a mac fan but that's some truly artful engineering.

Which fuckwit thought that through?,My manager wants to have a conversation about my attitude. Time to explain that when I worked hard I got no pay rise, I only got a promotion because I lost my rag at him when he was being an arse. I have no motivation to do anything other than the bare minimum.,Journalistic humour:

Its 50/50 great or garbage. Great way to accumulate side projects...,Quote from reddit is too true

If your company runs AI generated SEO for other AI generated advertising for SEO services that promote your AI to other SEO services- you might be snake oil peddling and if anyone looks twice at your company it will blow over like a solo cup on the back porch.

Must be polite and grateful to open source devs.
Must be diplomatic when pointing out they're fundamentally wrong about the spec they're implementing. Even if they helped write it.

Get several devs to implement the same standard. Compare the results for lots of different test data. The consensus "correct" result is the one that is most common from all Implementations. Where consensus can't be found, the devs are shown each others code and it's a race to find bugs to invalidate an implementation that disagrees with yours. Implementations that don't follow "correct" behaviour must be updated accordingly, even if it means copying bugs from other code.

The insane thing is this is legit how it works, like python's typing standard is based on mypy and other type checkers have to match its behaviour. Unicode isn't really a standard, it just started to describe how text works in different places instead of the fights to the death battle royale we used before that.,Never trust code that describes itself as "rigorously tested".,It's nice when devs are
happy you find bugs in their code, like I don't want to bother them with issues so saying thanks is positive```
