Linus Torvalds flames Google kernel contributor over filesystem suggestion

• sylware 3y ago
  Ooooh... they finally found that hanging AMD GPU bug ? I have to admit, AMD GPU hangs have been very rare lately, to a point, I wonder if that was not definitely found and fixed (navi10 XLE) (I am using AMD dev kernel though, and I play dota2). Regarding that stuff, Linus T. is the focal point of so much, I guess this is very hard to keep things polite and not passive-aggressive, and to "vent out privately" (I do that, and yes, I feel better afterwards).

  > You copied that function without understanding why it does what it does, and as a result your code IS GARBAGE. AGAIN. yawn. Completely topical, no personal insults, no profanity.

    Arguably, the "\n\nAGAIN." veers towards personal. It's over the line of what I'd give as feedback; the rest I think is fine.

  > The penguin emperor What is this supposed to mean?
  • jpsouth 3y ago
    I imagine it relates to the Penguin logo of Linux, and him being the creator of it. Not 100% but that’s my best guess.

    A play on words of "emperor penguin" and the person in charge of Linux kernel dev. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_penguin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_penguin
