Don't forget Laura Ingraham in 2016 testing the waters by tossing a Sig Heil at an image of Trump at the RNC.

Here's the scolding Linus SHOULD have given Hellwig MONTHS ago.

I said it before and I'll say it again. Martin was wrong, and got treated fairly. He threw tantrums and stirred drama instead of acting like a maintainer.

But. That didn't make Hellwig right. He wasn't right. He was way out of line and over his skis, being hostile for hostilities sake.

Unfortunately many rust programmers already have a sour taste in their mouth regarding Linux development, which is a huge loss for the progress of the project.

My son called trucks "Cucks". Loudly. Trucks were his favorite things in the whole world. Lead to some interesting times when in public lol.

You ever seen the dictator warlords constantly wearing miliary gear with too much polish and a thousand made up medals?

That's why.

It's the power structure in question.

When labor makes the money, labor has the power.

When services and information make the money, oligarchs will quickly consolidate power and use their control over services (like Twitter?) and information (like WaPo?) to control the narrative.

Now that isn't to say that a services and information based economy can't be equitable, but there needs to be an educated and informed public, and a governing body capable of making intelligent, expert informed regulations. Something the US surely lacks.

Sorry about that, I'm seeing the same. Here's the site linked from the Internet Archive

The NASA secure coding standards are overbearing, obnoxious, over-engineered, and a huge waste of effort.

But they are absolutely correct and the best guidelines I'm aware of.

@[email protected] is implying the contract is being pushed though the federal budget unscrupulously, since those are clearly misclassified.

They should try watching the last two seasons of F1. The rest of us were "very concerned" he still had a seat. And I say that as a McLaren fan.

It’s just moving things around on an org chart.

Judging by every new CEO I've had, this is the play.

  1. Do something largely inconsequential but visible, like a reorg.
  2. Wait for anything good to happen as it inevitably always does, since every nuance is measured somewhere.
  3. Claim the something good was a direct result of your action, even though in reality you likely only marginally slowed down something that was going to happen anyway.
  4. Claim bonus from board for accomplishment.
