It's used because the ones who use it have enough money to pay for any problems that may arise from it's use, and known problems are deemed better than unknown ones.
It is a viable model when you have enough money and resources, but a conservative one
it's one of the most popular languages used for C/C++ build scripting
Unfortunately 😅
That way we'll just find maintainers went near extinct over time, just like COBOL developers that are as rare as they are expensive. Only Linux kernel isn't a bank, and maybe will not have as much money to pay to rare developers capable of maintaining C codebase
Well, as they say, "common sense is not very common", but thinking a bit before rushing in may always do good.
::: spoiler about the "quote" It actually should read
It is sometimes said, common sense is very rare
as written by Voltaire, it appears, but I didn't know that and only met derivatives of this quote.
It's the number of the signal sent, 9 is for SIGKILL. You can send various signals with kill, and depending on how application was made it may react on all signals with dying, or meaningfully process most of them. Afaik, SIGKILL can't be processed by the app, and it always means just that: "die already".
Checked in Wikipedia, that's about right but there are more details I left out, mostly because didn't know about them, too: POSIX signals
Augenmass? Keeping distance or something?
No, it's when someone wanted to change docs to say "they" when referring to the user. I don't think it was really necessary, but refusal to do that looks like a statement I don't like.

You should use international phonetic alphabet for pronunciation then
The hard part is "that add value". Not only it's hard to measure, but highly depends on scope of what is done
Well, terminology is to call scam promising that even a cat will be able to build a rocket with UI blocks "no-code".
Since using "no-code" usually ends up with writing code (usually in JavaScript, afaik), it would be more honest to not call it that, anyway, scammy promises aside
I find inability to record/screenshot (both audio and pictures) the most annoying. They actively broke call recording because "what if it's illegal", then published their own call recorder, but only in India, or something like that.
If I have something on screen I always can take a picture with another camera, creating obstacles doesn't add privacy, it only serves to deter the laziest of bad actors and actual fair users
Big names probably plan ahead and may have switched the projects that were not too deep into development or haven't started yet. But it's likely something to not be loudly announced
