Welcome to Costco… I love you!

There’s no shortage of reasons to not like Linus.

IIRC They were also trying to get kernel devs to let official structure definitions live in Rust instead of C, and got upset when they didn’t want to do that.

I don’t think giving working rights to non-approved asylum seekers would go over any better than what orange man does… but w/e

a temporary stay where? and who’s going to foot the bill for that?

This would be caught by ASan and other tools though, which should be part of any review.

I’m doing that. I know several others who have as well.

this is the real based take. may the salt of your enemies enhance the flavor of your meals.

Be that as it may, I personally wouldn’t consider someone to be a very knowledgeable (on how games actually work) game developer if they didn’t at least know how to use things like linear algebra to make a character run and jump naturally and such, even if they’re not coding like that day to day and just using a higher level framework.

You don’t have to agree with me, and I still respect your opinion either way.

Depends entirely on your definition of “gamedev”, IMO. If you’re trying to write a platformer in basic C with no external libraries, you will absolutely need to use algebra/geometry/etc. and maybe even some more advanced things like physics/calculus depending on what features/effects you want to put in your game.

The problem is not everyone agrees on what exactly “editorialized” and “credible” means. You’re making the same arguments they would make against you.

I think you could argue the same point with C++

the number of “women for trump” bumper stickers I see daily are astounding.

you must be fun at parties

To be fair, it’s entirely possible to make the same and very similar mistakes in Rust, too.

you can’t know that

I think that entire comment is actually incorrect. My understanding is that they did not “remove” any maintainers, but actually rejected patches from Russian citizens (because of their employer), and also removed some Russian names from the maintainers list who already have code in the kernel.

yikes.

That doesn’t invalidate my statement though.
