Technically there's 12 weeks of unpaid leave mandated federally (for companies >= 50 employees) and California has up to 8 weeks of paid family leave (can take 12 weeks total leave for companies >= 5).
Obviously not even in the same ballpark to other countries but it is not 0 everywhere.

Don't forget the variation where the database entry has been copy pasted from somewhere then gets a special white space. Looking at you, Confluence... 😤

On top of all this, last I checked, CRAN didn't even store binary Linux packages (??!) which requires Posit Package Manager and some extra setup. Python's ecosystem (PyPI + uv) on the contrary works a lot smoother.

For internal codebases I agree - it's kind of nice to minimize API changes and run reverse dependency checks.
But for majority of other uses, the CRAN's rules (last I check doesn't even enforce linting/testing) seems like a solution to a problem needing proper package/R binary management (e.g. uv).

Last time I did it my letter was rejected because it was not "signed, dated and was not on an official letterhead". I uploaded it to an automated system from my own account... so I ended up using my company's official Word template and scribbled my signature lol. These places are in another timeline

Same here! I just learned recently of some Linux distros with pre-installed nVidia drivers. I will try Nobara soon: nobaraproject.org on a separate hard drive.
I don't play many games nowadays so if it can run World of Warcraft, I am good to go!

Looks like Linux is becoming to-go OS even for gaming: arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/...
Games run faster on SteamOS than Windows 11, Ars testing finds
Lenovo Legion Go S gets better frame rates running Valve’s free operating system.

Virtually every data science job description involves Python, whereas not so many R. Maybe that's big part of it.
