Closed source is generally compiled code in an executable, so you'd have to do a lot of work de-compiling it back to the source code first.

Even at the OS level, lots of the stuff "under the hood" in Windows is obfuscated, and still the same issue, most of it is compiled code, you'd have to de-compile a significant portion of it (in an OS there's also an amount that doesn't have to be de-compiled) to be able to actually look at the code itself.


Please don't apologize for bad English, it's not against the law to have English as a second language. As a US citizen, one of the most frustrating thing is knowing brilliantly competent and capable immigrants who are ignored and passed over because their education and credentials are simply in a different language. They often come as refugees and didn't have the opportunity to get a great English education, but literally come with multiple degrees from quality universities in their home countries. Treating them like they know less because they speak a different language is so fucking absurd. Also, your English is fine, don't beat yourself up.

I would sound worse in any language I tried to speak other than English, you're doing better than I would, and better than a lot of English speakers would when put in the same situation speaking a second language they're not familiar with.

Thanks man I just sometimes make grammar mistakes and people ridicule my weird choice of words and my accent thats why I said sorry for bad English

Hey, I used to be a lot better writer, but then I got cancer and now my brain leaves out lots of words when I write or replaces words with similar words. These days I find myself constantly re-editing comments to make them make sense because the first run misses a lot. Nobody knows anyone else's story or why they might struggle with communication, and whether it's a second language or losing your faculties due to disease and age, it's not really something fair to ridicule others for. Cheers and keep up the good work, you look like you're doing fine to me.
