I really like that Calvin, even though he probably cut out the slice, seems disappointed in Hobbes here. He doesn’t want to ruin Suzie’s party; he just wants some cake.
Hello, I work with numerous humans. Navigating their emotionality is quite haphazardous at times, and today I have seemingly transgressed on my colleague “Mike”....
I’m not certain that it was the type of culture you’re thinking of. and i didn’t want to put a force field around the fridge. i have stuff in there too.
I specified American milk chocolate because American milk chocolate typically uses a more sour milk which gives it its distinctive flavour. Personally I can’t really stand it but to each their own.
My phrasing was off, i didn’t mean to say that that actually used rancid or sour milk. Rather the flavor of butyric acid is commonplace in a lot of American chocolate. And it’s a flavor i quite despise (despite loving Hershey’s growing up), hence the preference for non-American chocolate. I understand that sweeping generalizations are almost never true, and that there are plenty of American chocolatiers who make chocolate without that distinct sour note, but that doesn’t denigrate the fact that you can go to most places in the states that sell chocolate and get something with a sour note. For many people they like that, I personally don’t.
The prison complex doesn’t want you to call it that, but yes. The 13th amendment makes a specific exception for slavery if the person is imprisoned. That’s why prisoners “work” for way below minimum wage in a variety of jobs that they probably didn’t choose. Not to mention that the majority of prisoners are people of color…
I’ve heard he’s not perfect but he doesn’t lose his temper anymore and has only gotten better with age. I respect anyone who can self reflect and introspect and come out a better person.
He did hurt the mission. Plenty of kernel maintainers have left, and those were people who had been with the project for years. Losing experienced people to toxicity 1000% harms both the project and the product.
You’re making judgements on people’s utility and ability based on the volatile reactions of man who admits to having issues. That creates toxic environments where people are not encouraged to do better, but any amount of change is due to fear of repercussions. This does not promote growth or new ideas that would genuinely improve something, but rather a fear of failure if they attempt something new. This also isn’t useful programming criticism because the actual useful criticism is buried in an emotional slurry that’s going to make something less receptive to the useful information.
You’re making a false equivalency where stern is the same as toxic. There are more professional and clear ways to communicate the issues with code quality. No one is disagreeing that those need to be communicated. The Issue is how.
And because you seem to take stock in what Torvalds says, then consider that if he himself admitted these were harmful and inefficient methods of communication then they probably were. If it was leading to fantastic results in the kernel i don’t see why he would’ve stopped. My guess is that he learned something that it seems you may still have yet to: empathy.
I can understand Linus getting frustrated at people who consistently push him (i e. Lennart) and I agree that there’s a reason he’s stayed at the helm of kernel maintenance and development all this time; however, that doesn’t denigrate that this is an unacceptable way to treat someone which Linus himself acknowledges! If this were about ReiserFS going into the kernel, I would understand that. But a poorly made commit should not be met with this vitriol. I’m not saying there shouldn’t be consequences for poor work, but this is not it.
