Linux supports BitLocker encrypted partitions. You just have to specify the BitLocker recovery-key in your fstab file or on the command-line. I've been dual-booting with disk encryption enabled on both Linux and Windows for several years, using that functionality

Unix shell scripts are one of the few holdouts.
I don't know if this applies to other shells, but bash will not only execute your script line-by-line, it will also read it line-by-line. Which means that you can modify the behavior of a running script by editing lines that have not yet been executed*. It's absolutely bonkers, and I'm sure that it has caused more than one system failure, during upgrades.
* For example, if you run the following script
echo "hello"
sleep 5
echo "goodbye"
and then edit the third line before the 5 second sleep has elapsed, then the modified line will be executed.
It is normal usage. Though personally I'd probably make another "main" function, to avoid declaring a bunch of global variables
But if those beginners want to stop being beginners, then they must learn the basics of the language. It makes no more sense to demand that everyone who programs in Python caters to beginners, than it makes to demand that everyone writing in English write at a 3rd grade reading level for the sake of English language learners
Containers being "truthy" is quite basic Python and you will find this idiom used in nearly every Python code base in my experience
While there are legitimate grievances in this lawsuit, they do also complain that Valve doesn't let developers generate as many Steam keys as they want, and then sell them on other stores at lower prices than on Steam (see p. 35, "Valve Distorts Competition Through The Steam Key Price Parity Provision").
Keeping in mind that Valve lets developers generate keys for their games for free, this amounts to Wolfire complaining that they cannot offload the costs of hosting/services to Valve, while at the same time minimizing how much Valve earns. And that just sounds ridiculously entitled to me.
If Wolfire somehow were to win the right to undercut Valve in this manner, then I would not be surprised if Valve responded by charging developers for keys, or otherwise limited the ability of developers to generate keys. Which would have wide reaching consequences for PC gaming
