  1. Of she didn't mention it in the blog post. "I'm working on getting a pipeline of women into kernel development, through the FOSS Outreach Program for Women. They slowly get introduced to Linux development culture, starting with a very friendly separate mailing list and IRC channel, and finally moving to work with a kernel mentor on a bigger project on the main Linux kernel development lists. We have seven women participating this round, and I suspect we'll have even more the next round." from https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/1...

    Saying no to pull requests is easy. What if some people already gave suggestions, even patches that technically fix the bugs, but the subsystem maintainer refuse them for some reason. This is not imaginary scenarios, and Linus rightfully called out the maintainers.

    If you read the mail carefully, the phrase "dumb cunt" is not from LKML. It was from internet trolls via private mail.

    It works fine, but it buffers the whole video, unlike Chromium (non-flash) which buffers only few seconds. The other thing is, Media Source Extension is still experimental, has memory leak issue, doesn't work on some videos, has some performance issues (high CPU utilization), etc. Quoted from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...: "Firefox is the only major browser still without the full support for MSE, however a subset of the functionality is available for use with only YouTube in Firefox 37 on Windows Vista or later only."

    Tamper resistance binary log is a nice feature to have. As the linked article said, the algorithm for FSS is based on "Forward Secure Pseudo Random Generators" (FSPRG), which comes from some post-doctoral research by Poettering's brother Bertram Poettering. Is there any explanation on why the algorithm is based on FSPRG? At the time the article is written (August 2012), the paper on FSPRG has not been published. I'm worried about the crypto aspect here.

    Or maybe you were doing it wrong. I built several Qt-based apps, even Qt Creator itself on Ubuntu just fine.
