All words are made up, there is no one true way, it is just what most people think. We need to stop arjuing stupid stuff like this and jet a life instead.

If it was regularly better than others, it would not have taken a decade to fix a memory leak. Perhaps they were better, but I don't understand why you bring up such example where they clearly dropped the ball.
Not at all. That Rogue USB flash drive will still be able to contain installable malware. Nothing about the authentication standard changes that.
The problem is not having installable malware. The problem is a rogue usb device that pretends to be a usb drive, but also behaves as a usb keyboard, and as soon as it is inserted, it presses Win+R and run whatever it wants without user intervention.
If the devices are required to be digitally signed, the os can refuse keyboards or other devices from running stuff without user permission. If the USB drive has a file with malware and you run it, well, that is your own damn fault.
I can see it now. I am sorry, the certificate on your charging cables does not match the approved list on the phone and thus you need to order a new charging cable from the vendor. Oh, and if you persist in trying to use the non-approved cable from Amazon, we will be forced to void your warranty. Remember kids, only use Vendor OEM USB Devices. Everyone else is just a crook.
This can absolutely be used that way. Not that different from DRM.
On the other hand it can be used to prevent that rogue USB flash drive you found on the parking lot from installing a key logger in your computer.
There is no evil in the technology itself, the evil is in the heart of men.
Call me crazy, but if your browser cannot handle an empty div properly, then perhaps you should just fix your browser?
The whole drama is coming from a former Microsoft intern that worked on EdgeHTML. Read between the lines: the guy is bitter he lost his job to chromium, and wanted to vent in Hacker News. The press saw gold, and created news out of this for clicks sake.
This just show how poor TIOBE's methodology really is.
Take a look at stats from actual pull request in github The most popular languages are:
1. Javascript 2. Java 3. Python 4. PHP 5. C++ 6. C# 7. Typescript 8. Shell 9. C 10. Ruby
VB.Net is not even in the top 10
Now, you can argue that these are mostly open source projects, and that proprietary code might be different. Fair enough, but I don't see how search results (TIOBE's method) reflect proprietary code any better than this.
Tax breaks are not subsidies. Tax break means the government will not confiscate some of that company's money (good). Subsidies means the government will confiscate money from other people and give it to that company (bad).
That said, the government should not pick winners and losers, if it is going to give a tax break, it should give it to everyone.
Linus has created literally trillions in economic activity. Singlehanded. But techies worship Musk. Very odd.
Singlehanded?!? I guess, if you ignore all the work done on gcc, glibc, bash, systemd, other system tools, thousands of kernel developer contributors, thousands of people putting together distributions, people writing build systems, multiple languages, hardware manufactures, etc...
Linus work is probably not even 1 millionth of the total work that went into producing your average computer, let alone super computers.

You are putting words in his mouth and then attacking him for it. I don't know why you assume he would be ok with "white straight dudes under 30 only". From his statement (that you quoted), I would assume he would be opposed to that as sell.
I don't see how it is possible to preach tolerance while actively supporting and funding tribalism while not becoming a hypocrite in the process.
He is not actively supporting anything. He simply stopped developing LLVM, he is not rioting, doing a hunger strike or even demanding any changes from anyone.
"funding tribalism" what on earth are you talking about?
If you have had windows installed for a while navigate to this folder:
C:\Windows\Installer
This is a place where all the MSI packages are cached for anything you have ever installed, the full thing. I have 10 GB of crap here, that is completely redundant and risky to remove.
I hear it is so that you can run the uninstaller. But you don't really need the entire msi for that, you just need the list of files and registry entries to remove, like any other package manager in any other operating system. I also hear it is kept for validating installed files. Well, you only need to store the checksum of the files for that.
It is great that they save 2GB of space of old or unused stuff, but for crying out loud, there are much bigger fish to fry.
"How many people are affected? Millions! Everyone, almost. According to the Debian popularity contest, beep is installed on 1.86% of all machines. Extrapolating that by the earth population, we estimate roughly 130 million affected users."
130 millions is probably an order of magnitude bigger than all debian users. That extrapolation is ridiculous. Is this supposed to be a tongue in cheek number?
You can see that they can have completely different applications in the tabs. In one tab you can have a word processor, in another a command prompt and in another a web browser, all in the same window.
Sure, it is obviously inspired by browsers, but this improves upon that by having more than just browsers together.
Neither my mac or my linux box can do that. There is innovation here.
Provide a native Linux version of Visual Studio 2017. It doesn't have to be free.
They ported visual studio to mac. They added linux, android, mac and iOS targets for visual studio. They created.net core for linux and made it work really well. They made asp.net core which works on linux and apache. They created visual studio core which runs on linux and is one of the best text editors out there.
Clearly even if they ported visual studio to linux, people will still say it is evil.
It seems people are incapable of being objective when it comes to Microsoft.

On second thought, refreshing my browser was not that bad.

Ohhh, ok, it makes more sense now :)
all of which seem reasonable

What's the point? The jaywalker is dead already, filing criminal changes against her won't accomplish anything.
You could group multiple applications in a single, tabbed window in KDE4.
I did not know KDE4 could do that. That is very cool.
That said, if you look at how KDE4 did it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
and how Microsoft is doing it in windows 10:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
It is plain to see the KDE folks are being schooled in terms of usability.
Also, web browsers, which are at least theoretically the same thing.
This is not the same thing at all.
If you look at their video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
You can see that they can have completely different applications in the tabs. In one tab you can have a word processor, in another a command prompt and in another a web browser, all in the same window.
Sure, it is obviously inspired by browsers, but this improves upon that by having more than just browsers together.

It would look like not forcing installation of spyware on users, for one.
What does that have to do with EEE linux?
Provide a native Linux version of Visual Studio 2017. It doesn't have to be free.
They ported visual studio to mac. .net core for linux and made it work really well.
They added linux, android, mac and iOS targets for visual studio.
They created
They made asp.net core which works on linux and apache.
They created visual studio core which runs on linux and is one of the best text editors out there.
Clearly even if they ported visual studio to linux, people will still say it is evil.
It seems people are incapable of being objective when it comes to Microsoft.
I haven't seen them start yet.
And what would that start look like? obviously making apps for linux and making linux apps work on windows is not it.
People complain if they close up, people complain if they open up. Is objectivity completely out the window (pun intended) here?
