Probably not what they meant 😜

A few years back, I had to compile a kernel with random patches to get the trackpad running on my razer blade (2018) working.

When it works, it’s magic. I got better power usage using powertop than I was getting on Windows. When it doesn’t, it’s not something someone with no tech experience can fix, sadly.

Please.

😁

Balzac = Ballsack

Even though I like intermediate variables myself, I’ve been told the same thing when co-authoring code.

What these anecdotes suggest is that this is subjective, and I think it can be overdone. I don’t think objective general rules can be established from the article, even though I think it’s good advice.

In my examples, I was overdoing it and causing too many indirections, creating leaky abstractions (leaky because, in my context, the abstraction was not tightly self-contained and understanding the “implementation” of the abstraction was necessary to understand what the line of code that was using it was doing).

I don’t think it’s a black-and-white matter. Your reviewer might not necessarily have been a moron, or might have lacked the self-awareness to realize they were imposing their own preferences onto you. But there’s a slight chance that you legitimately confused them with your indirections. Hard to say without context.

What they meant was in fact: “I thought I could get away with it”. I call BS on them not knowing it would get ppl angry.

And vinegar!

No VB6 either 🤷‍♂️

How can one write a kernel without using VB6 at all?

By law, consent can’t be given for certain things. To take an extreme example: you can’t consent to being shot in the head. Anyone who shoots you for no reason is guilty of a crime, even if you have a signed contract.

Whether or not Apple’s practices constitue a violation serious enough to nullify the agreement they have with developers remains to be seen.

Agreed. It just doesn’t work.

The extension ecosystem is absolutely amazing. I really love it!

It’s the first time I see it, but that doesn’t mean it’s uncommon! 🙂

I had to look up what IINM means. For anyone wondering, it means “If I’m Not Wrong”.

Not sure this is worthy of an acronym, but that’s your choice! I just wanted to contribute context for people like me.

Yet another war crime apologist!

See, a war crime is when Americans kill civilians. China and Russia are allowed to kill civilians, that’s different.

At least you probably understand why you and your scummy lookalikes can’t convince anyone.

The archwiki is a great Linux resource, even for non-arch folks!

Olive oil

The “class war” used to oppose nobility to the rest of the population. Nobility has been mostly replaced with capitalists. Same opposition.

NEVER!
