Unfortunately, people often struggle with the difference between "can" and "should"...

So, under the current state of the law whether or not a contract is enforceable depends entirely on what the terms in that specific contract are.
Unfortunately, this is yet another instance where the law has failed to keep up with technology. Contract laws (at least in the USA) date back long before anyone ever dreamed up the idea of a EULA or ToS. Our laws contemplate two or more parties with roughly equal bargaining power sitting down and hashing things out, and go from there.
Laws based on that assumption are a pretty poor fit for a world filled with EULAs and ToS but it's what we are stuck with at the moment.
Nope, it's not a settled question in the way that I think you mean. Each ToS is different so each would be subject to individual legal analysis in court on its own terms.
Questions would include whether the ToS is unconscionable, whether the terms violate laws of the locality/nation, and so forth.
It's the same with traditional contracts - the fact that contracts have been around for hundreds (maybe thousands) of years doesn't mean much if you and I create a brand new one between us. Our contract's specific terms (and events/actions between us as a result) would be the issue in court.
I love JavaScript (yes, I'm one of THOSE people) and like what TypeScript brings to the table but it quickly becomes hard to read as the code becomes more complex.
Python has always had a readability advantage... up to the point where people start doing code golf and nesting multiple comprehensions together.
What? I'm going to go through some bullshit interview process that includes some esoteric algorithm problem that has nothing to do with the actual position in question and, even if it did, I could "npm install"/google my way out of only to find out later on that the job pays the same (or less) than what I make right now?
That's just a waste of everyone's time.
The exposure to places that are not-America is good for them!
My work-issued Macbook Pro regularly forgets which monitor (my external monitor or the built-in display) is the primary monitor and moves the dock and task bar between them seemingly at random.
My mouse sensitivity is cranked all the way up but my mouse still feels like it's mired in tar compared to my Windows and Linux machines.
The dock is always in the way. I can hide it when a window approaches/overlaps it, but it often takes multiple swipes with the mouse to get it to reappear. Completely removing the dock (which would be my preference) does not seem to be an option. I was able to move it to the left side of the screen, which is better - why take up so much valuable vertical screen real estate with a top bar and a dock on the bottom???
So... I don't know. I'm not seeing it personally. For me Gnome, KDE, Windows 10, and Windows all provide a better GUI desktop experience than macOS.

MacOS comes in at 25.19%. Even Linux is higher at 25.32%.
Meanwhile, Windows is 45.33% (over 48% if you include WSL, which was counted separately).
82,719 responses on the operating system question too...
I agree, that it's annoying in the meantime though.
Jackson gets almost 10 inches MORE rain per year on average than Portland does. For one thing, in Portland it doesn't rain at all from mid June to mid August (it rains year round in Jackson).
But reputations are interesting things!
But I never did much development on Windows until a particular job I had about a year ago. It was a Windows shop and we did everything between WSL2, VSCode, and Windows Terminal. It was actually... a really nice developer experience. I was very pleasantly surprised by how well things worked. WSL2 isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but the newer WSLg on Windows 11 solves some of those problems.
If I could have the Windows Terminal in a Linux desktop distro, I would take it in a heartbeat. I think you're in for a treat if you give it a try!
From a slightly broader view, Windows + WSL2/WSLg + Windows Terminal is a pretty great experience that manages to combine a lot of the best of both Windows and Linux worlds, IMHO.
I spent most of my career doing things like criminal defense and representing people with disabilities. In those areas of practice, things like CRT are badly needed. There can be no realistic dispute that the heavy hand of the law comes down more heavily on criminal defendants of color than it does those who are white - examination of the roots and causes of institutional racism are the best ways to combat this issue, and perhaps some discussion of these topics even in law school is warranted.
That said, I agree that most legal education is more practical and traditional than what is depicted in this article.
I literally cannot work 9 or 10 hour days.
The blog author is the developer of the mGBA emulator which is free and open source... There is no commercial competition for Analogue there.
Not saying it doesn't matter at all, just that smaller screens seems to make that kind of thing less obvious.
To each their own though.
Alright, then.
It's how I run my GOG games on Pop OS.
I've been slowly trying to go back and learn some computer science topics that I missed out on self-teaching and I still have a long way to go.
