Which debacle?

- 0cf8612b2e1e 1y agoSo what was I supposed to get from that 4chan wannabe site? That the project is not currently at fast as GNU? Where is the lying?
- vlovich123 1y agoSo what I’m getting is 1. The uutils project didn’t also make all locales cases for sort faster even though the majority of people will be using UTF-8, C or POSIX where it is indeed faster 2. There’s a lot of debating about different test cases which is a never ending quibble with sorting routines (go look at some of the cutting edge sort algorithm development). This complaint is hyperfocusing on 1 of the many utilities they claim they’re faster on and quibbling about what to me are important but ultimately minor critiques. I really don’t see the debacle. As for the license, that’s more your opinion. Rust as a language generally has dual licensed their code as MIT and Apache2 and most open source projects follow this tradition. I don’t see the conspiracy that you do. And just so I’m clear, the corporation your criticizing here as the amorphous evil entity funding this is Ubuntu right?

- vlovich123 1y agoI know. UTF-8, C and POSIX are locales (at least those are the locale strings)
