Linus doesn't want an apology. He's not upset with Overstreet because Overstreet insulted him, he's upset with Overstreet because Overstreet wrote bad code (or in this case, can't figure out how a merge window works).

All Overstreet needs to do is figure out how a merge window works. He doesn't need to write a perfect apology.

C is a great language for kernel development. It is elegant, in that it serves its purpose well and efficiently. If you know what you are doing, you can write clean, brief, understandable, clear code (a good portion of "knowing what you are doing" is figuring out how to properly encapsulate in a function).

However, most driver programmers don't know what they are doing. That isn't going to change in the term. Rust allows them to write drivers without writing memory leaks or buffer overruns. Net win.

Reiserfs in the Linux kernel. Old one but good one.

Which mental health problems are you thinking of that can be treated successfully?

The problem is we still don't really know how to cure mental health problems. Medicine is often better than not having medicine, but it's not a cure.

I just want to know which political party I should hate for this.

Any politician who pushes that fix will be voted out of office.

Dumb conclusion based on a weird sample size where you only chose cars with low hp. Modern 4 cyl engines can have more than 300 hp, and they don't struggle up hills.

Is that a problem, though?

You got modded troll, but you are absolutely right. This sentence from the summary makes it clear that people cared about the sound:

Of course, that's assuming that the summary is correct.

Oh great, now I need to learn Esperanto

The Sato surname comes from the Fujiwara clan of ancient Japan, who famously took control of the country by having beautiful daughters that the emperor wanted to marry.

Nowadays, some people refuse to marry a Fujiwara-descended last name (like Sato) just based on principle. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fshorts...

Which will arrive first, IPv6 everywhere, or Linux on the desktop? Viva la revolucion1

Obviously backup cameras work, so what we need literally now is forward cameras. Hard to keep your eyes on the road while also keeping your eyes on the forward camera, but with time drivers will adjust. We may even as a species eventually develop a third eye to look at the forward camera, as evolutionary pressures prune those who can't keep up.

Actually it's kind of interesting to think what it would take to get there. I don't think we're actually 50 years away, if we wanted to get there. What would students be expected to know to be an actual software engineer?

The first level is easy: the students need to be able to get the computer to do what they want. This is the first level, and when I do job interviews, I am trying to figure out if the candidate can reliably get the computer to do what they want or not (mainly using programming problems like on leetcode, since those are short and fast. Although I make up my own questions, they're basically in the same class). Unfortunately that level often takes students 4 years to achieve, if they achieve it at all.

IF you could speed up that knowledge acquisition (which would largely be done by having students do a lot of programming), then moving on to the next step, I know there are things I wish software engineers knew, but I don't know how to organize it into a teaching system. I teach it to other engineers at work in an ad-hoc way.
