This was my first thought, kernel 3.x is more than a little dated now and there is a huge amount of IO performance and latency related changes that have been incorporated since the 3.x days.

Nice also to see: You can do cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2 and if you don't have a compiler that supports the retpoline mitigations, you'll get: Vulnerable: Minimal

While I agree if the meeting is important - often one can’t help but be dragged to meetings that are run poorly. Or situations where ones input is only valuable for a limited period of time or around a certain subject matter. If it’s an hou

Indeed, it does also feel like the JavaScript community or rather JavaScript related projects seem to be more attracted to emojifying blog posts, release notifications etc... while perhaps a bit informal it’s probably not the end of the wor

Been beta testing this for quite some time, if anything it’s getting worse. The performance of outlook and word is abysmal, random crashes, high CPU usage under no activity and the list goes on.

Word is truly dreadful, not just to use but the code it generates in each document is a mess, it’s no wonder there’s so many formatting problems in docx files.

Glad to see the last of the old 32bit legacy go, of course the good thing is if someone did want to run some ancient software that’s 32bit or even 16bit you can still spin up a VM of a legacy OS that can run those binaries.

I was not expecting to be linked to what appears to be properly conducted science based trial. As others have noted the sample size was small at 40 people which just leads me to looking forward to a larger scale controlled study.

For image and photo editing - after many, many years I ditched Adobe Photoshop for Pixelmator Pro - couldn’t be happier, there’s a few workflows that they’re still improving with very regular releases but god damn it’s fast!

You're completely correct - I did indeed use the wrong terminology and I've done exactly that before with characterising the change in direction of an argument as a straw-man when as you rightly point out - is not correct. Thanks

As a Kiwi, living in Australia I totally agree and understand, during code review in ops if something crap - I’ll things like ‘hmm, this looks a bit crap, maybe refactor for improved readability?’ Or ‘this has code smell written all over it

I wish people in this thread would stop turning the discussion into a straw-man argument about Linus’s language and focus their attention to the technical and security problems at hand. Some people are easily offended, some people easily of

If you’re worried about ‘cursing’ and you seriously think that it’s something important in the scope of this discussion around security and the grand scale of negligence afoot, I believe you may need to re-evaluate your values. In fact, the

Exactly, I’d love to see the state and flux of the Meltdown and Spectre patches for the various Windows kernels.

Thanks for pointing that out - I was under the impression he still worked for intel, before commenting I checked and all the top Google results suggested as much, I’ve corrected my comment.

Could not agree more, unfortunately I’ve seen the latter more often than the former. When you find good management it is truly inspiring however.

I think we should count ourselves lucky we have someone so good at spotting bullsh*t like this - and isn’t afraid to call it out as they sees it. Intel & friends have absolutely disgusted me lately, it could be all to easy to settle for
