It's time to really settle if nice communications, SJW style, matters more than coding competence.
It's not an either/or choice, you know.
I agree,
But the ones that choose are not the leaders, are the led. The leader wants the result, and the good/smart ones do what they do because it's a way to get the result (s)he wants.
So, if Matthew proves that he can keep a good work with nice communications, will be an evidence that Linus can change if he wants - and then I will criticize him for his behavior.
On the other hand, if Matthew fails to keep things together, then we would have an evidence (but, granted, not a proof) that the Linus way is the one that works. Would be interesting, so, to study the matter and see *WHY* that kind of leadership is getting results. You need to find the cause if you want to change the effect.
Linus's behavior is not an existential threat to the project since it's one of the most successful projects in human history despite the fact that he has always acted like that.
Despite, or due?
I had seen successful projects leadered by far-from-polite guys a lot to not see some connection on it.
I don't like, I'm pretty sure that few people like it, but this happens more than successful projects leadered by more-than-polite people.
Finally someone has done something about the alleged toxic environment on the LKML.
Soon, when this project fails by lack of competence (no matter how nice the internal communications are handled) and after LKML had lose some developers for Matthew (due how internal communications are handled), some common ground will be reached.
The stories I hear leave me scratching my head. This isn't the Linus I knew back in the day. I guess all the fame and all of that must have gone to his head.
Or perhaps the job of dealing with people that you didn't hired and you can't fire is getting on his nerves.
Linus don't control strictly his workforce, he must deal with people hired by others - something as a matrix organizational structure. All he can do is to accept or reject the commits, and this is something merely reactive, not pro-active. And it's always expensive, if not in money, in effort and time.
Being stuck with a not so cooperative coworker that you don't control is enerving. I'm currently switching jobs for this exact reason: *ONE* coworker that I can't fire was cooperating less than I needed, but I still had full responsibility on the results.
I can't just imagine what it would be with thousands.
Remembering what Microsoft did to stop Lotus and WordPerfect from running on their platforms, it seems kind of fitting that they should be getting shafted by an Apple update now.:)
And, worst, the kind of update that SHOULD NOT had broken them.
Why *IN HELL* restricting system files would broek a Productivity Application?
Here is a hint - you never get to experience more than one extinction events, and predicting the next one based on the previous ones, makes very little sense. And the dinosaurs probably did not have the ability to engineer such events, nor had individuals whose personal desire is that everyone in the world should meet their maker.
Everything is hypothetical - until it happens. And given the right amount of time, everything happens.
Not to mention they also had their own Unix OS in the 80s/90s called Xenix (though I think it was licensed from AT&T?) I remember my father's company (a small construction subcontractor) using it many moons ago.
That piece of sh*t was dumped into a company called Santa Cruz Operations and became SCO Unix. A friend of mine worked with this, he called it "The Microsoft Windows from the Unix World". He laugh tons when i told him he was not wrong after all.
This also appears to explain who funded SCO for 10 years on that UNIX IP fiasco.
I think you had misunderstood the technology with the implementation.
The Adobe's Flash Player is to be blamed, not Flash itself.
There're some alternatives that could fill the gap once we get rid of this piece of sh*t from Adobe, and I don't see a problem in using them - being the open source ones my preferred.
Dude, I have the right to go whatever I want - but never got a free bus ride.:-)
You are allowed to state your own viewpoints in whatever place is yours to do so: your home, and the public areas - the places where you pay the bills (you pay taxes, right?).
If you don't pay the bills, you must ask permission from who does.
(and you only have the rights that you can withstand, anyway)
Also you don't have a right to your viewpoints on private property/websites/whatever. As a website owner I don't have to let you speak your mind and maybe I don't care to know why you feel that black people are the superior race or that Democrats are all evil.
The aftermath if correct, but the way you gone there is not.
The guy HAS THE RIGHT to his viewpoints in whatever the place he wants. But the place's owner DON'T HAVE THE DUTY to allow it - it's up to this last guy to decide if this will be allowed or not.
The first guy's rights needs to be preserved. But the former's too.

I just finished a Flash animation course at ITT. Am I too late to the game?
Barrichello? It's you?

There must be some connection, no?
You won't care. Not a single mainstream user of the kernel will switch to this fork.
To tell you the true, I hope that some of them do. It could even be a good idea if Linus do some incentive to that.

When Eich was removed from Mozilla, Mozilla immediately implemented DRM.
I was thinking that only me had noticed that. Good to know I'm not the only one. ;-)

There's nothing like the good, old, competition.

Sounds pretty much my last job's environment.
When the next flight takes off? Where do I apply?

And also histories from them holding back.
World is not perfect, but with competition at least we have a chance.
And I mean NO.
I see, and how much do you have to pay for non-backdoored hardware? A million dollars? Ten million? A hundred million?
Google is your friend - and try using features and guarantee instead of price when you are sorting the offers.
Going to the lower spectrum of pricing has a cost.
You get what you pays for. =(
Hey, Teacher! Leave the kids alone!
Give them a Condom first.
Told me to write Hello World. It's now called Google+. Don't blame me.
FSCKING BEAUTIFUL! :-D

What the guy is saying is that Flash will not die due that fucking fire!
Where I wrote "privacy", please read "piracy".
But given the present status quo on Windows 10, the present phrase will fits too. =P
Every public servant are free to BUY and INSTALL himself Windows, Office and whatever program he will think it better suits his needs. :-)
(Software privacy will be punished)

One size doesn't fits all. I'm happy they didn't ditched any of them.
That ones that are currently in the most rich country in the World?
That ones that leaves the risk of ahead planning to others, and just buy who does it right?
yep, I'm afraid it is. =/
