Top Linux Developers Losing the Will To Code?

E5Rebel noted that Don Marti has a piece that talks about "Core Linux developers are finding themselves managing and checking, rather than coding, as the number of kernel contributors grows and the contributor network becomes more complex."

    This is what happens when you write large procedural code programs with no Design by Contract. You spend more time rechecking old things than writing new things.

    America's Urban Black Population Falls Dramatically
    As Many As One Tenth Of Black Population Dead Over Past Five Years

    Washington, DC -- A new report, cited in the Economist magazine, indicates America's black population has fallen dramatically over the past five years, despite Census bureau estimates and demographic doomsayers' prediction of growth that would overwhelm whites.

    In America's three largest cities -- New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago -- black populations dropped by one tenth due to the cumulative effects of murder and disease.

    Discussing "the disappearance of blacks", the Economist writes, "Roughly half of America's murder victims and about the same proportion of suspected murderers are black. In five years America's three biggest cities lost almost a tenth of their black residents ..."

    One tenth of America's black population -- over 3.8 million Negroes -- lived in those three cities, and the disappearance of 380,000 of them due to AIDS, murder and other causes represents a one percent decline in America's overall black population.

    The trend is similar to that in Africa, where nations such as South Africa have seen AIDS and crime cause their national population to begin falling at a rate of one half to one percent a year, and where acts of war and genocide -- Negro crime taken to an exponential level -- have destroyed a tenth or more of the population of central African nations every several years.

    they just need to learn from Linus.

    Actually, I'd say that Linux sounds like a piss-poor manager. With management like this, I'm not surprised that Linux is still playing catch up, 10+ years into it.
