XKCD is basically all math jokes.

The Japanese military still flies nearly the same flag.

Reading books. There are some great books on programming out there. I would strongly recommend a A Players Guide to C#. It's structure, practice problems, and explainations of the basics were far better than any free guide to programming that I've seen online. There are a lot of other great books out there too.

It also doesn't matter too much about a book being outdated when you are only studying the fundamentals.

A lot of the stuff you read online has never been fact checked or edited for clarity. Some of it is great, but most of it is not.

Linux has decimated Windows in the server market. It would be unthinkable for a new project to use Windows server, even Azure assumes you want to use Linux.

There are lots of industrial applications where open source has dominated the market. As the end user you might not see it, but almost all software and digital infrastructure you use has open source components.

No reasonable person should be afraid to be filmed dancing. The video was completely innocent and the principal at this school is clearly a religious creep.

In this world today there is also no way to avoid being filmed anyway.

If new evidence exonerates a living person, they can be released. You cant bring an innocent dead person back to life.

IMO if you were American, you would remember it for being traumatizing rather than for disrupting your cartoons. I'm about the same age as you and it had a huge impact on everyone I knew.

That book was written by a socialist.

The new Apple silicon in the Mac lineup is the most exciting thing they have done in the PC space in more than a decade.

There are way too many answers after you finish this quiz. You should recommend, at most, three options after the quiz. This doesn't help narrow down your options much at all.

Metal straws have gotten very popular in Taiwan, the home of bubble tea. It's not that inconvenient to take a metal straw or other reusable straw with you.

Have you used Java before? It's not a big leap from Java to C#, most of the concepts are the same. At least C# is a memory safe language, although I'm not sure if you're unfamiliar with the code base and languages if it really makes a difference which language you use here. Hopefully your coworkers can help hold your hand a bit here, this situation sucks.
