It feels so backwards, I see people admonishing the younger, more liberal generations for not having children while turning around and bragging that their wife only needed two weeks of maternity leave. Why want more children in the world if you dont want to actually take care of them?
Depending on where you live, going below freezing, even down towards 0F (-18C), is common. I’d say things don’t go into “too cold to go out” territory until the single digits for me.
I don’t touch a jacket until 40, 50 is perfect.
Movement of money = economy
Gift cards are just fancy plastic money
Ergo, OP is doing God’s the invisible hand’s work.

As they say, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Why try to hack the door lock when you can exploit people’s instincts to let them hold the door for you?
Wait, you don’t mean dozing off while driving, right?
The distinction isn’t meaningless, it’s actually vitally important. The thing is, we’ve been here before, hundreds if not thousands of times, with the stock market and other speculative bubbles. Once a big enough entity decides to cut their losses and bail with whatever they can get, all that “value” disappears and there’s no inherent value of the asset itself to fall back on. So it has been with other crypto crashes in the past few years.
Granted, this is generally true of fiat as well, we just have a lot more people and hopefully some safeguards and, vitally, an active economy holding up that value.
The rub here being that you really only own the receipt, it doesn’t confer any legal rights or ensure exclusivity of the content it’s attached to. I get why people uninterested in being part of a PNG are excited about them, but I haven’t personally seen a use case for them that isn’t exploitable or already solved by current technology.
I’ve found that having a “nervous, do not pet” vest has helped. Thankfully, it seems to have worked well so far.
I get the frustration, but honestly if he wants to keep doing self-sabotaging dumb shit to keep himself in the spotlight, I say go for it.
Yeah, honestly I’m usually so tired of the imperial VS metric debate (I know metric is better and I wish the US used it, it’s just a low priority), but drill bit sizes are so stupid.
“Yeah gimme that 15/64ths bit” unhinged behavior.
Memories of the old shitty codebase I inherited that had a bunch of if/else statements to add a day every four years. Which, of course, isn’t even correct.
I hear some prefer “iLadies” these days.
I would disagree just because the success of the product (be it closed or open source) shouldn’t be dependent on the feelings of one person. You can be frustrated and angry, but it’s more useful to explain why you feel that way and what can be done to address it. Including your feelings only makes the person not want to do what specifically hurts you, not what is best for the project.
Okay, I agree that this is a really dickish way to respond to a dev, and I can see Torvald’s message being as much an olive branch to app devs as it was a thorough humbling of the maintainer. Still wouldn’t call it professional, but… I get it.
You can be polite or just straightforward and still get your message across.
“We don’t blame bugs on user programs”, “This is not an error code that should be used here”, “Your coding standards may have relaxed over your tenure, be sure to maintain quality code.”, etc. I get the annoyance, but you can be firm without yelling, especially in a professional environment.
Edit: Seeing the full context of Mauro’s message (posted below), I can see why Linus took this tone. Mauro was being pretty condescending to a dev.
Jenny Nicholson is my weak spot. Defunctland and Down the Rabbit Hole are also great.
I always go “I’m not gonna watch this whole thing.” Then, six hours later…
If you ever think “an actual human couldn’t possibly click that fast”, you are wrong. Debounce your critical actions.
