I don't agree and my observations do not match yours. But I do know that certain people are out to profit from the agenda you so mistakenly support. And no, I think I am being restrained in my disdain, compared to the monstrosity of what is actually going on.
That way, the CISO with the master's in music makes perfect sense. Obviously, if you are large enough, it is much, much cheaper to just hope you do not get attacked too often than actually invest anything into security.
Now, if that hat been 500'000 pounds per customer data set stolen, that would have been something else.
You mean insult women by manipulating them into choosing a career that clearly many of them do not want? I can imagine that and I see clearly that this is what people like you want to do, but I find this utterly unacceptable.
For the last time: Women are adults. They can make their own choices and those that chose not to go into engineering will chose so as fully capable adults and the decision will not be because any little things. It will be because what they care about and want to be a part of. Stop regarding women as children, it is deeply misogynistic.
As Linus gets pretty much called out every time he is an asshole by, ahem, some special interest parties, it seems he is actually very rarely an asshole.
Apparently you can suggest women are generally weak, sensitive and easily insulted without being sexist. Personally, I find such suggestions hugely misogynistic.
I know quite a few female engineers and some scientists. None of them have a problem with being called out when they screw up. All of them do it to others as well. And all of them can very well distinguish between a personal insult and language directed at their work but not at them. I don't think any of them would have any problem with the style of Linus or the kernel core team.
Incidentally, I had some interactions with the core Linux team from some bug reports I made and I found them to be very focused, but in no way arrogant or insulting or the like. They just have a lot to do and a lot of responsibility and really want to get the job done well. I fully approve of that attitude.
And by all available, reasonably hard facts, it is because women in general want to become engineers significantly less often than men. Stop complaining, let women decide what they want to do in life and accept that! And no, it is not discrimination, harassment or "the patriarchy". It is just that women are fully capable human beings that can make their own decisions on what they want to do in life.
As a result, you will have significantly less female contributors in any larger tech project, whether in leadership position or more hands-on position. Again, stop complaining about this, it is by choice and it actually shows that women these days make their own decisions regarding what career they want. Implying that all these women that decide not to go into engineering are weak, oppressed little children that cannot make their own decisions or run away crying as soon as some hasher words are used (as is frequently done by "feminists") is one of the most misogynistic and repulsive things I know.
I do hope that Linus looks at this for a while and then forks the kernel to end this stupidity. Come to think of, if he still holds the copyright to the overall thing, he may be able to make the JSWs needing to fork the kernel.
The reason you rip someone a new one in front of other people is so that you don't have to do it in private again and again to the other people. I learned this in Basic Training. I got ripped for a mistake and nobody else ever made that mistake again. I figured this out immediately and didn't take it personally.
And that makes you an adult. The SJW scum that want to eliminate all harsh language by force are not.
Ah, _those_. I love it when I run into these as an accademic teacher, because then I know who to use as benchmark for the failed grade. Otherwise, these people are a pest.
Thanks, I do not like you either. But I prefer to call you a "fuckup", which is just an accurate description, of course and certainly not an insult (or that is how it would be if I were a dishonorable, dishonest, manipulative scum SJW...).
Indeed. It is a nice little totalitarian manifesto, telling tech-people that they are pretty worthless after all and that anybody else who has not invested decades in honing their technical skills is at the very least equal to them in what power they should get in a tech project.
And "We understand that working in our field is a privilege, not a right." is directly out of the Fascist's cookbook.
Indeed. Getting your code in or not is not a recognition (or not) of your worth as a person, it is a judgement on the suitability of your code. Getting merit as an engineer must be based on the quality of your work. Otherwise, we may just start to, say, handing drivers licenses, MD qualifications, pilot licenses, etc. to everybody to not exclude anybody.

They catch basically only the stupid ones, so the conclusions drawn from who gets caught are badly skewed.

It was not said, but strongly and very clearly implied. If you cannot see that, you are blind. (With apologies to the blind...)

Quite frankly, compared to others and given his accomplishments, I think Linus is actually a pretty modest person.

Why are you addressing me in the 3rd person? Do you think I am some kind of royalty?
I think you should cut back on the drugs...
Human stupidity is unlimited. This is just an example illustrating that.
Invalid interpretation of an implication as an equivalence. A beginner's mistake, albeit common.
Be powerful enough and you can commit almost any crime and get away with it. Second, you cannot hold an abstract concept accountable.
I propose that you try it on the LKML in, say, 4-6 months....
Ahahahahahah, you are cute!

And even more fail with a childish, playground level response. Impressive!
Note to moderator that voted me down: "I do't agree." is not a valid reaction to a scientific fact, however much you dislike it.
