The fact that every single thread here, possibly every single comment, is so far referring to the name of the filesystem, speaks louder to me than your anecdote. (It's very hard, for me at least, to say that in a way that does not come across as snarky, which I don't intend to be.)
- gdy 7y agoSelection bias
- haymakel 7y agoI think you might just be trolling, but in case you are not, I do not see how selection bias applies here. I (or anyone else) did not select any comments here. Close, or maybe even actual, 100% of the comments here are about the issue with the name, so unless you want to insinuate that the HN community responding to this is not in any way representative of people who care about filesystems, there is hardly a bias here.
- gdy 7y agoYou imply that comments are representative of the attitude towards reiserfs in general population. It seems more likely to me that overly emotional people, regardless of their interest in filesystems, got triggered and wrote a bunch of comments even without clicking the link.
- haymakel 7y agoThere is a vastness of comments about the name. They all must be written by trolls.
