Eh, it’s a twist that panders to yesterday’s culture warriors. People who enjoy having their own worldview affirmed and then making others “deal with” that worldview.

IIRC, the blog you linked was written by someone who loves Rust and other languages which have, to say the least, a different philosophy from C and Zig. I'm not familiar with Muratori's opinion on Zig; do you have a link?

I was nodding along to your comment, at first. But then I read your follow-ups, which look like you're covering something up that you fear could be true. I don't know what that something is, so I think I should go listen to Sabine

That's a good distinction, and it pretty much captures the exchange. Both sides felt quite strongly; Helwig used strong words. But that doesn't mean either side was unreasonable, despite some of us commenters being discomforted.

This gatekeeping feels weird. As the sibling commenter points out, both sides of the aisle have used "thin blue line" to refer to themselves. I'm neutral to it, and I voted for Hilary, Biden, and Kamala. But you could be righ

Thanks for clarifying. I took a look as well, and the very first reply confirms your opinion and that of the GP's parent. Plenty of downvotes and comments that come after criticizing the maintainers, "I am not sure how @rust-lang&

Difficulties notwithstanding, Marcan’s drama is excessive. He has a history of it. His fellow R4L partners chewed him out for jumping in and spoiling their work. They even quietly but publicly disaffiliated R4L from him.

You’re not biting because it’s true. Linux said no brigading. Hector resigns twice and in the second time, despite saying he wouldn’t elaborate on Rust vs Linux, proceeds to blame Linus and start another social media brigade.

I'm interested in the names that stayed out of the war. Git Branches were an open field of conflict, but "Masters" programs somehow were not. The reason I've heard is that contemporary Academics were simply comfortable w

Hey, good catch. I edited my comment to be clearer.

You’ve misunderstood the GP. He liked the post and offered one suggestion; your anger is misdirected.

This answer seems like a big spin: > Is Rust for Linux driven by the "Rust community"? > No, the people involved around Rust for Linux come from different backgrounds and organizations. Some are kernel maintainers, some are

Looks like Dr Greg (not Greg KH) is just piling his own personal grievance on top of the drama. Saying "Jim are you listening?" makes me wonder who he's sniping at. Speaking as an actual People Manager, his ideas sound pretty

One lesson I feel we can all learn from this is that social media really should not be used for self-therapy.

Thanks for the links. It's a bit annoying that OP's link turned out to be a LARP; I hope no one actually relies on those people for their security.

Yes, the scandal is not over because the FAA continued to conflate diversity with performance. In 2023, the FAA set several, major goals for DEIA initiatives and only one target for hiring more Air Traffic controllers. https://w

That's a misreading of the article. This scandal was not just "cheating and recruitment" but forcing "Diversity" with a side of "Equity". To quote the facts: > The NBCFAE continued to pressure the FAA
