What are you talking about? I’ve witnessed it several times now at work, especially regarding programming or EE. Have you not yet suffered through a programmer condescendingly explain trivial matters to others, especially to women?

The post is obviously a hyperbole but it’s not too far off from reality.

I don’t think anybody is obsessed with it. It’s a problematic behavior in many men, enough so that it’s become a meme, particularly in the US.

I look at the contributors on Github and check them out. I’ll check out what else they’ve worked on and maybe see if they have an account on mastodon or twitter. Maybe I’ll ask some friends if they’ve used or heard of the product, or know of the devs.

There is indeed malware disguised as OSS and you do sometimes have to vet them. I’ll skim the codebase and see if there’s anything that looks weird or funky, but that’s not perfect (like in the case of the xz) and some stuff can slip by.

I was running out of RAM on my 16GB system for years (just doing normal work tasks), so I finally upgraded to a new laptop with 64GB of RAM. Now I never run out of memory.

Learned how drivers worked and fixed a driver for an USB to I2C chip. It’s still buggy but at least it sorta works now.

Some more details: I was using a CH347 (USB to UART/SPI/I2C) and there was an open source driver that used a previous chip version. The original dev had hardcoded the bulk IO endpoints indices. The only change I had to do was just iterate over the endpoints and search for the correct ones. But at first, I didn’t understand anything about how the USB subsystem worked and how drivers were loaded. All I could tell was the USB device was correctly detected but the I2C driver wasn’t being loaded, despite proper udev rules, correct vendor/product IDs, etc.

Maybe there’s something that I’m still missing, but the genders could be any which way and it would still give the same meaning: fucking or screwing someone over. It’s vulgar and tasteless but I don’t think it is necessarily homophobic or misogynistic.

It does simply imply someone is being (sexually) dominated by another, but there’s no placement of “good” or “bad”—just that Microsoft users are being dominated by Microsoft, which is roughly true. I do think it’s a crude analogy and a terrible meme, but to say it’s anything more seems like a stretch.

I assume the question is “Which answer is correct?” or “Do you think the answer is correct?” or something along those lines.

Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Yuzu has any proprietary code. Folks have to go to other websites to download the Switch firmware and keys needed to play games.

Yup, but also a vegetable.

People put carrots in pizza sauce, like Rao’s: https://www.raos.com/products/pizza-sauce

And roasted tomatoes are great with some peppers and onions.

Speaking of fountain drinks, if I get a water cup, is it fine to use the soda fountain for seltzer? I’ve been seeing more soda fountains with both those water tabs (on the lemonade) and a seltzer tab (on the sprite).

It’s something our business does on occasion, as well as a hobby of his.

Quick update: talked to my boss and he’ll be moving it “soon”. I think I’ll just wfh for the rest of the day.

Update 2: my boss apologized and moved the printer and resins out. 😊 I popped by after work tonight and it still smells but it’s not bad now.

Tbh I never understood this rule very well and I did my undergrad in physics. My teacher or prof would teach this but I’d forget it almost instantly.

To visualize a cross product, I just remember that x cross y = z, then remember how the axes are oriented.

I don’t think it’s necessarily a celebration of abuse. I agree that he’s obviously way out of line sending this email.

I think Linus is (was) a complete asshole who lacks interpersonal skills, and this email exemplifies his character. To me, this post shows the mentality of some developers (and leadership) in FOSS and why some folks find it difficult to contribute to open-source software. This post opens up the discussion on that.

FWIW, I’ve received zero reports on this post itself. But I’ve received reports on abusive comments in this post, which I’ve promptly removed. This community is more/less self-moderating and if the post receives a significant positive vote ratio, I don’t think it should be removed by me. It brings an important discussion to the table regarding acceptable behavior in software development.

This video inspired me to try out the sensor reheat setting on my microwave today and it worked pretty well at reheating chili!

Personally, 1-2x/month.
