"we only criticize people we care about. If you're messing up, and no one's saying anything anymore, you're in a bad spot"

-- Randy Pausch, "Last Lecture"

Linus needs to make no corrections to his behaviour. His apology was needless.

He only flames those who make dumb mistakes, should know better, keep doing it, and don't respect the gravity of the situation. Linux is used on MARS. Pretend to care.

There is a pattern to the people who get upset when they've earned a rebuke from Linus. Those people could get over themselves.

Sometimes you win the lottery and get to keep breathing.

Worrying won't help in any of these situations.

That's a rational take on something that isn't rational. Worry is fun in that it doesn't care about your logic.

Example: My friend was ditched in a round of layoffs a ways back with terrible timing. He's just moved back to the country, with a mortgage and other costs, taken in his dad to care for, and it's close to 10k/mo of run-rate with cars and dual taxes and just family costs. I bet he still worries, even though it's no help.

I've experienced some scary shit, for me -- nearly lost a limb (thanks be to medicine), cancer scare, etc. Life shit.

The simple human kindness of reassuring touch is so trivial at the time until you're really in the depths of the fear in the spinning, wild, no-no-no-no part. Then the triviality of reassuring human touch - platonic, but there to say you're not alone - is a fucking lifeline. Just for a moment.

You can take that sentence about 6 different ways depending on which word you emphasize.

Learning about actual apartheid made me realize that people who don't get it want to equate everything to it, without realizing it cheapens the actual trauma of people who suffered under actual apartheid.

Psst. Everywhere is a third world to someone.

You may want to put a sarcasm tag on there. People too dumb to understand that you're joking may take what you've written at face value.

They're out there. Some of the most normal-sounding people have gone very anti-medicine, anti-society through this experience.

Apparently the scammers will rush you through so you miss the nuances in the very finely-crafted contract -- they're professionals at this. I think John Oliver did a thing on the whole seedy setup.

go ask the journal to retract the article I linked to

Classic bullshit demand.

Body-shaming of people who don't overcompensate and claim the exact opposite of their particular issue, you mean?

Like, when a 100% blind guy wants to take up cataract surgery because of their acute eyesight, you're gonna say "dawg, it's maybe not your thing". And if they persist with full-page ads as to their keen eyesight, then we have DJT.

It's a yes from me.

Meanwhile, Skype* works well.

(*Not msComm/lync renamed Skype. We never mean that unless we say skype4biz or its codename Hot garbage)

RedHat were key contributors

And now they're barely pedestrians.

which works great as long as you accept its limitations.

This can be said of cannibalism, fascism and the GoP also. Just, some have massive limitations you'll be accepting, but the statement is still true.

• 4% perf increase
• occasionally losing your data
• can't shrink. ever.

XFS is such a non-starter.

how Red Hat allows some licenses for personal use

This programme has a serious barrier to continued entry. It's all but fake. The only way is Rocky.

Everything can’t be free, at some point it’s gotta cost something.

Not everything is a "fuck you pay me" relationship. Being a dev who for years built a tool used by people on the daily, the entire thing was a labour of love and I was glad others used and improved it.

I'm sorry you were raised so mercenary. American?

FAMOUS history of loyalty to its workers

Never heard of this. Ever. Sarcasm?
