They actually only provide the kernel, period (as well as some non-GNU glue sauce (init))
It's up to distributions to provide the user-space, which of course use GNU in nearly all cases. However, (minus missing implementation specifics) any userspace that supports generic Linux will likely work.
You're not wrong, and neither is he.
They do have every reason to distrust us... But they're also 2-bit despots, with a thin veneer of democracy pasted on top to keep a full-out revolt from making it through the grips of their religious police.
I believe I said that when I stated that exchanging oxygen in your lungs with pure nitrogen quickly results in no more oxygen in your lungs or your body... But ya. Your description of the process is definitely more technically informative
As soon as the "clump of cells" shows distinguished features and all organs it is a Fetus
Then clearly more distinctive nomenclature is required along the gestation range, because that means "a fetus starts learning the language around him and understands quite a bit of what is talked around him." is true, and "a fetus has less cognitive acuity than an ant" is also true.
Not quite. It's clearly a chunk of living tissue, of course. The distinction between it and its mother isn't so clear. The DNA is different, of course, but so is a tumor's.
It has the potential to turn into a person, ya. And its DNA is distinctly homo sapiens. But as for it being *a* life, as in its own? That's up for debate. I think you and I could probably find common ground in agreeing that a life, and a person, in this instance mean the same thing.
You know what? If I was condemned to death, I'd want a pullet through the head. That's VERY quick and painless.
Man, I dunno. I'm with you on 3... but one is risky. People survive single gunshots to the head way more frequently than you'd like to know about I think. You can continue to "live" with a considerable amount of brain matter missing.
Egads. Holding your breath doesn't flush the oxygen out of your lungs. In fact, it keeps it in there.
Exchanging the oxygen in your lungs with 100% nitrogen quickly results in no more oxygen in your lungs (and body) having been replaced with nitrogen.
You're forcing others to adhere to your *belief* regarding whether or not a nonviable human fetus constitutes a life.
It really is a tricky issue. Only morons try to simplify it.
Man, I hate it when I talk without knowing what the fuck I'm talking about, too.
Shuttleworth is the sole shareholder of Canonical Ltd.
He has direct control over the company, though has appointed other people CEO in his stead before.
If you're talking about the government or the mafia coming in and putting a gun to his head demanding he cede control, then you were a fucking waste of finger tendon lifespan, and I hope you drown in vomit.
It's only by the self restraint of others that you haven't been buried alive yet.
Not only is it noticeably slow even on powerful equipment
I guess my equipment is a lot more powerful than yours.. No pun intended, I swear.
open bugs on Github go untouched for ages. I followed one for broken shortcut keys in a Save File dialog (https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/14145) that went unresolved for nearly a year.
Eh. Mac specific. My sympathy just went down the toilet.
I gladly paid for Sublime Text in order to avoid the mess that is Atom.
Sublime is also pretty cool. Infinitely more expensive, but still cool.
Huh? Are you being deliberately stupid?
It's a minority outreach organization... They're not accomplishing their mission goal by hiring white guys to do it...
Tell me how having tits, an ass, and not much covering either is necessary to wait tables?
I wasn't presenting an argument. I was calling you out for being a disingenuous shitstain.
Arguing with you about whether or not your conclusion that "a small percentage of women contribute to open source, ergo if your company employs anything close to an equal ratio of men and women, you are discriminating" would be the paramount of stupidity, because that conclusion is too stupid to fucking argue.
When a job opportunity is only open to a specific gender/ethnic-origin/sexual orientation/... IT IS discrimination...
Let me stop you right there.
Learn the definition of the word, then get back to me.
Discrimination, as in telling the difference between two things, is perfectly legal. Discrimination is after all a natural part of the hiring process- discriminating between applicants that fit the company's needs better.
Discrimination, as in the prejudicial or unjust treatment of a person because of some aspect of them, is a problem.
You're conflating the two things to make your point, and that is disingenuous.
It's ok for hooters to only hire women waitresses. It's ok for chip n' dales to only hire male dancers.
What is not ok is for hooters to only hire mexicans to cook "because white people suck at it".
Get it?
The relevant law you're looking for is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter, (1) it shall not be an unlawful employment practice for an employer to hire and employ employees, for an employment agency to classify, or refer for employment any individual, for a labor organization to classify its membership or to classify or refer for employment any individual, or for an employer, labor organization, or joint labor management committee controlling apprenticeship or other training or retraining programs to admit or employ any individual in any such program, on the basis of his religion, sex, or national origin in those certain instances where religion, sex, or national origin is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of that particular business or enterprise
I'm quite sure I didn't write that abortion of a sentence you just quoted me on.
Time to up the meds, amigo.
You mocked someone for the apparently obscene notion that alignment of a statement measured against *a* CoC, as if that were a logic violation.
It isn't if "don't be full of shit." is the stipulation violated.
What you want is the freedom to say whatever the fuck stupid bullshit you want in a group and them to be forced to continue accepting you. No, go play with yourself in the corner, kiddo.
Well what outreach does is nothing but discrimination
No. You don't know what that word means. Please stop using it until you do.
You should have said, "Well, what outreach does is provide an organization to assist people who aren't like me"
That is *not* discrimination.
The KKK is not discriminatory because it only accepts white people. The KKK is discriminatory because it only helps white people because it believes them to be superior.
Repeat after me: Discrimination requires unjust or prejudicial action.
If your next stop is to argue that it is prejudicial... Do me a favor and education yourself on the definition of that word as well. You'll find your argument exists only in the gaps of your knowledge, and by the time they are filled, your argument will be gone. Or the cognitive dissonance will throw you into a tizzy and you'll just start spouting complete nonsense.
Classic. So the validity of a statement is measured against how it aligns with a CoC.
Classic. What if a CoC says: "Statements must be empirically true."
Your argument is stupid on its face.
Amazing. Linus better hope they don't adopt such a CoC for the kernel. He will no longer be a great coder and all of his points will probably no longer be valid.
Nope. He may still be a great coder, and all his points may even be valid. He'll just no longer be welcome to contribute to that project, and that project will consider themselves better off for it, which is their right.
You just love twisting logic into knots to make a point, don't you?
Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.
They don't care. Lots of people don't care. The idea of social justice at the expense of the skill the actual prejudiced people bring to the table is acceptable. That's a valid position to hold.
You may not agree with it, you may think it's smarter to just accept the prejudiced people. You're also entitled to that opinion. If enough of you are ever in control of body involved with a large open source project, you can make your own CoC that says "I don't care what you say or do. You can act how you like."
And I'll fully respect that CoC. I won't be a part of that community, but I'll respect its rules.
How long have you been a native English speaker that you haven't learned the definition for the word bigotry, or prejudice?
Not being inclusive toward you isn't automatically discrimination. Discrimination requires unjust or prejudicial action.
Not including you is not automatically prejudicial. Prejudice requires a preconceived notion that is not based on reason or actual experience.
Bigotry requires an intolerance to a person simply for the opinion they hold. Intolerance toward them for their *actions* is not bigotry.
IMO, his reaction was based on the same thing your comment is- ignorance, and or a deep-seated actual prejudice against people who aren't like you.

What this will do is motivate Chinese companies to accelerate their shift away from the use of any kind of American IP, services, or subsystems.
Well, the latter 2... ya.
As for IP? No. They'll still use it, it will just be called something else.
Low- absolutey. But people have survived 45 caliber rounds to the head. Not a risk I'd want to take. That life sounds worse than death.

Oh it's quite breathable, and completely safely. It's an inert gas, after all.
The problem is that it's a terrible oxidizer.
Egads. Holding your breath doesn't flush the oxygen out of your lungs. In fact, it keeps it in there.

I don't see how encouraging can be conflated with enforcing.
Oh we all agree there. If Outreachy required LLVM to only accept non straight white guys, you'd have a real argument.
As it is... they don't, and you don't.
Within their own *outreach* organization that promotes their historically discriminated class? Who cares?
Well what outreach does is nothing but discrimination
No. You don't know what that word means. Please stop using it until you do.
