Unless you're Lennart Poettering or one of his advocates. In that case the conventions are wrong and anyone who disagrees is a luddite who should RTFM.
Management isn't a skill that can be formally learned; it is a mix of experience and the soft skills/persona of the manager
That may or may not be true. However the first time you do something you have, by definition, zero experience. If I was doing something I had zero experience in I'd like at least some theoretical background.
without both of the latter 2 you will end up with a rigid, incompetent manager.
Not necessarily. I've encountered plenty who were incompetent because they weren't rigid enough, or had nothing to be rigid about because they never actually made a decision.
The whole point of high level languages is that they're more convenient for the programmer. Fuck the CPU's opinion, it's a tool; I don't ask a hammer which hand I should hold it in. You should be able to define an array that's indexed from -23 to +666 if that maps more neatly to the problem domain.
No they wouldn't. 20 would count from 1 like normally because they don't know what "offset" means, 3 would do nothing because they don't know what "offset" means and one would cry because he doesn't know what "offset" means and thinks that means he's stupid.

Choosing your parents is a job?
ITT closed down. Didn't you notice yet?
Nah. A man and a dog.
The dog's job is to bit the man if he touches the controls.
The man's job is to open the cans of dog food.

Nice try, but it was more to do with all the shit in the Balkans & the Soviet Union breaking up.
I had a friend who was into old atlases. He had one from the early 1900s - in 1995 it was more accurate than one made 10 years earlier.
When I was a kid I had an encyclopaedia with that theory in it. It also had the "near miss with another star" theory for planet formation.
I'll add that it didn't have Pluto as a planet - not due to politics but because Pluto hadn't been discovered when it was written.
The next one will catch fire, fall over and sink.
RedHat are the second biggest contributor to Linux, behind Intel. That makes them first among software companies.
Basically, they can shovel shit in quicker than everyone else can take it out.

Why do you think a line through two arbitrarily chosen points proves anything?
Why did rubbish like that get modded up?

Yeah, if you live on your own.
It'd be quite difficult to control them then, wouldn't it? Or perhaps they have flying collies.
Give them, a break, it's the Bohunks. They only got computers a week ago.
In that case, why were the shepherds in the carol all seated on the ground?
As a systemd evangelist, I'd have expected you to have a much better idea of what really constitutes a disaster.
I agree. If someone wants to shoot you they arrange a time and you face off in the street and see who can draw fastest
This is something the nanny-state hoplophobes just don't get. You'd think they've never seen a cowboy movie.
Except they do. Because I've done it myself.
No girls in the class?
Should programming do "yes" or programming do "no", not programming do "guess so".
Except that all the others have their major structural elements visible.
That's nothing to do with indicating scope.
Correct.
If you find a useful snippet that does what you want you should first write it out with a crayon and then rekey it manually. Because the guru says so.
