Despite the risk of being voted down by the fanboys, I have to ask: how could this receive 12 votes within 40 minutes?
What's so newsworthy about Linus being frustrated about debugging?
- abstractbill 18y agoI found it somewhat interesting to learn that on a modern architecture you can isolate the cpu from its peripherals to the extent that debugging is impossible.
- danielh 18y agoThere are some aspects that might be worth voting this article up. Like the one you noted, or the mere fact that even a genius like Linus gets frustrated about debugging. Still, I can't help suspecting that many voters wouldn't care if some John Doe had written this story.
- JesseAldridge 18y agoTrue. But the name Linus Torvalds helps the article pass through our "crap-filter". We invest more effort in looking for value because we have a reasonable assurance that value is there.
- Herring 18y agosounds.. bayesian.
- t0pj 18y agoI think some of us are simply scanning through the new section, tagging things we'd like to read at a later time. :)

- fleaflicker 18y agofor me it was nice to see that even the world's most famous hackers deal with the same aggravating nonsense i do.
- Herring 18y agoPersonally I found it refreshing. Most of the front page is VC, food, money & politics.
- tlrobinson 18y agoReassurance that even Linus is human.
