Being able to be able to condense data down into abstract ideas that can be analogized to other things more familiar is many times more important than the exact details. That is probably a more important skill that knowing exact details because facts can be googled, understanding of a subject cannot.
Forcing people to give back is like asking for technical debt. Prostitutes give back, they give you STDs. You don't want everything people can give.

Lots of companies are moving away from Linux for a host of reasons, including the license. The IO Stack, D-trace, and ZFS seems to also be great selling points.
GPL does not give the developer any freedom, it takes it away and gives it to those who cannot write code for themselves. Explains the code quality of many GPL projects. Zealots are a certain type of people that don't think the same way programmers think.

Drivers many times have patented code that may be licensed from a 3rd party. Can't opensource, no permission.
That article didn't say that creativity can be tested, it was an argument to actually test it, for creative writing where the teacher needs to read through the text and grade how engaged they were.
Creativity in problem solving is quite different. Simple is better and simple is ALWAYS obvious in hindsight. You can't look at an answer and say it's creative, you can just look at an answer and say it works. Quality of answers for open ended problems is a fuzzy issue that cannot be easily reduced to a simple "test". It must be sampled many times over a large amount of time to get an idea of general quality.
The other big issue is determining if an answer is a good answer, even if correct. It's nearly impossible to be objective, you just go on feelings.
Kind of like my performance reviews. I am both the slowest and fastest programmer. Depends on what you're measuring and what your priorities are.
The same problem but at difference scale can require an entire different answer. Unless you also understand the theory, you may be using the wrong tool for the job. Without theory, everything is a nail that your cert can hammer.
Not a good analogy. An optical mouse does not use its light to indicate anything. Keyboard indicators have the sole purpose of communications, even if very simple communications.
If car manufacturers didn't care about security, they couldn't have installed locks or require keys to drive. Yes, lets just assume everyone in the world is trustworthy.

The mods are a bunch of language-lawyering pedants who regularly reject questions because of how they're worded
Funny you mention this. In the past month many of the SO answers that Google found were rejected, but there were some really good answers before the question was closed. I thought they were good questions and the answers were perfect, yet some mods decided to shut it down. At least they quickly got answered before the mod-trolls hit.
You were responding to someone asking about turns, but I'll talk about straitaways.
The problem with night time is with nothing in the road for lights to reflect off of, you have no depth perception. You can see the road surface that is illuminated, but that's a very short distance. Most of the light from the headlights goes off into infinity. If there is any amount of fog or precipitation in the air, I can easily see my max range, but when the air is clear, there is no distinct end to one's rage.
I drove a manual for about 5 years, but I have been driving an automatic for 15 now. I almost got into an accident a few weeks back and out of habit, my arm reached for the shifter in an attempt to downshift. I was grabbing an air.
PC-BSD never runs an upgrade against your live system. It snapshots, upgrades the snapshot, then point your next boot to the new snapshot, leaving the original unmodified. Even cooler is you can snapshot, then boot your snapshot into a jail. Since you can run jails in jails because a jail is a fully isolated kernel, you can keep snapshotting and loading snapshots in child jails, ad infinium. All with O(1) time complexity and very little vitualzation overhead.

Apple also uses a lot of FreeBSD code and regularly contributes code back upstream to FreeBSD.

Software development is a cross between an art and a science. I've found that intuition is important for me when solving hard problems.
100 is nothing. After I got my job I asked how many others applied. A total of almost 4,000. Keywords are important.
