- Sarki 8y agoRelevant comment by Linus Torvalds on standards: "I've said this before, and I'll say it again: a standards paper is just so much toilet paper when it conflicts with reality. It has absolutely _zero_ relevance. In fact, I'll take real toilet paper over standards any day, because at least that way I won't have splinters and ink up my arse." http://www.yodaiken.com/2018/06/07/torvalds-on-aliasing/ http://www.yodaiken.com/2018/06/07/torvalds-on-aliasing/
- cjus 8y agoAh Linus - enough said. The UMF spec wasn't intended to be a standards paper. You might be able to tell it isn't formatted as such. Based on the comments in this post - it has at the very least helped spark interesting feedback and debate.
