Cool you can run your fairly successful company how you see fit (the size of which compared to the LKML is peanuts.) Linus can run his successful project how he sees fit.
And it's pretty hypocritical of you to want to fire someone instead of help them understand how their approach is wrong and trying to correct it. You sound a lot more like Linus than otherwise with that statement.
You mean a developer who maintains one of the largest FOSS projects gets praise from people on a technological website? Perhaps thats because most of the user base understand what Linus is going through, and more importantly actually listen to what he is saying.
Could be because most of the public would judge him by how he looks today, which isn't actually relevant to the situation. How someone looks doesn't make them a certain type of person.
Have you ever worked for a truly large company? I ask because you seem to trivialize the politics of the environment.
You are talking about cushy jobs for most of these people so there is incentive to CYA. You also have separate teams who report to separate managers who each control a layer in the application. You have the dba teams, the mainframe teams, the noc team, the platform team, the framework team, the other framework team, the application teams, the qa teams, the internal client teams, etc. If you looked at it from their perspective these people don't necessarily want to allow some wet behind the ears application team (because thats usually who are working at this layer anyway or worse offshore) to have so much control over what is essentially very proprietary business information. Can you really blame them though? If you're some medical company who deals with patient information, and you have HIPAA obligations, perhaps it can start to make sense? Even worse if you are publicly traded because then you have to deal with SOX.
Not to mention that there are many positive reasons to use stored procedures in general. Such as the ability to encapsulate your data structures in the database allowing you to change schema without affecting the application layer. Or allowing DBAs to identify areas to increase performance through indexes, etc. since they know every single query being run on their database. Or simply reducing round trips between the application layer and the database layer. Or increasing quality of code by inherently using transactions thereby hopefully reducing times when the database is in an incorrect state and not relying on an application developer to get that right. Also creates a uniform platform when you have multiple application teams. What about simply using stored procedures allowing your application to potentially switch database software with minimal code change, if written correctly.
There are many good reasons to use stored procedures.
In the grand scheme, Node and Mongo are still quite new; for the most part, ace JavaScript developers who can write brilliant code on both sides of the request transaction have yet to emerge, but if and when they do, the things they build could be jaw-dropping.
Can any real developer explain why having a javascript backend would be any different to any other backend in such a way where something jaw-dropping could only be the result of the javascript backend?
Not when it's one random jackass criticizing the work of someone who has obviously been successful. Uninformed opinions mean absolutely nothing, no matter how the words were arranged to sound logical. If he had any legitimacy he wouldn't post anonymously.
When it comes to the size of the kernel's RC. Yea, no one's opinion matters unless they have actual experience there. Sorry to get your panties in a bunch, anonymous coward. Your opinion doesn't mean shit unless you have some experience behind it.
You can't even put your slashdot account behind your opinion, go fuck yourself.
When you've had as much success as Linus, then we will listen to what you have to say oh great anonymous coward. Until then, keep posting anonymously on the internet.
Everyone's a critic, and everyone's got an opinion. Yours is worth the absolute same as every other anonymous asshole.
Seriously though, who the hell cares if the RC is bigger than the one before it
The maintainer of the kernel does. You fucking ignorant twit. When you are a fucking kernel maintainer, then we will listen to what you have to say. Until that time, your opinion is of as much use as an asshole on my elbow.
The amendments were put in place for reasons which are defined in history. You are willfully ignorant of history and didn't choose to speak to any real experts.
Then maybe we should figure out why that is, and fix it, rather than continuing to import the droves of internationals who take university positions away from residents of this country.
Keeping internationals here for the sake of Academia is such a biased and stupid opinion to have. In engineering you are literally only relevant until people graduate. You should not be dictating policy for your sake alone.
If I can't get a job in Europe because they have to prove that there is no national qualified to do the job, then I don't see why our country should do the opposite.
And if you refuse to pay this tax bill, what will happen? If jail is involved, then I don't give a shit what the lawyers say, because they are just plain fucking wrong.
Not to mention killing is morally wrong no matter what the context or circumstances.
You do realize that morality is something made up in your head right? It does not exist in the real world, because everyone's morality is different. You make a very intelligent argument followed by the one of the dumbest statements you could make. Congratulations, slashdot, I think I quit you.
Wow i meant this to be a reply to Decameron, and I didn't even realize it was him who replied to me. Sorry, man, didn't mean to refer to you in the third person.
I will happily meet you in the middle about their intended purpose, and I wouldn't have argued with Decameron if he had stated his opinion in your way. The problem was he didn't leave room for the possibility that they don't actually fulfill their intended purpose in his statement.

And what is this comment if not a troll for more replies? You have absolutely 0 substance to your comment. Keep being hypocritical.

Thanks for all your insight, Captain Obvious.

I didn't mean to compare, I meant if you were a publicly traded healthcare company that had to deal with both...

Here's my message to you. No one fucking cares about your opinion. Especially not the maintainer of the linux kernel.
It's a shareholders meeting, not some secretive conference like bilderberg. To join in on the fun, you simply need to be a shareholder.
But don't let me stop you from speculating out of your ass.

Yea, fixed your title for you. Guess it's the pot calling the kettle black then...
So then the AC you are replying to you is technically correct, because he didn't use the term "ex post facto law."
And if you refuse to pay this tax bill, what will happen? If jail is involved, then I don't give a shit what the lawyers say, because they are just plain fucking wrong.

That is your opinion, and a shitty one at that.
You obviously have no right to comment on this. Talk to an actual victim of rape sometime, or get raped yourself.
Your conclusions are wrong, you are an idiot, and the world would be a much better place if you killed yourself.

Then how about you standardize the IDE?
