Re: the open source, you know how often open source projects die because the maintainers get bored or busy or there's disagreement about the direction of the project? A fuckload. Having multiple open source projects that do the same thing - and let's be clear, nothing complex is ever exactly the same - is healthy. It means if they diverge in the future that you may prefer project A and detest the changes made in project B. If project B was the only one to exist, you'd be angry.
Agreed. RCs were great when you had to know what you were doing to get them. It only became a problem when cathinones and synthetic cannabinoids started being sold at headshops.

Is showing some reporters some sample data to show that the data exists malicious? Because I believe that's all he's been accused of doing.

As to whether the website he would make one day would contain the information on investigations: this is disputed. To me, it seems the city misconstrues his quotes about letting people determine if names were contained in the entire dataset.

It's a bit surprising that he would choose to disseminate his espionage via uncovering mass secret state surveillence and sending documents to a third party so they could publish them. I am not in espionage, but I expect there are considerably easier and more reliable ways to exfiltrate data. I don't think it is as surprising that he took more files than he should have.

> Packaging a dozen version of the same library?

Cargo uses semver for unifying minor dependency versions, so you don't have dozens versions. It's one per major version. It's not even that different from what Debian does when they package "libfoo5" and "libfoo7". Cargo can have them coexist automatically without renaming, but apt needs this done manually, which creates lots of useless busywork for maintainers who need to map Cargo's requirements to apt's patched forks of Cargo packages.

The real difference is that Cargo unifies versions by upgrading packages to the latest compatible version, and Debian unifies by downgrading to outdated incompatible unsupported junk.

> What is the alternative to relaxing deps?

In this case Debian has unforked bindgen, which removed an important patch that the project required:

Derp. Right you are!
I think I've come to an inevitable conclusion that there appears to be at least two "sources" of intelligence, genetic, and (I guess for lack of a better word), "learned". Learned could mean all kinds of things, the capacity measurement of IQ, the effort by parents to fill that capacity, social normative steering, whatever.

But genetic really means "instinct" in the way that a day old deer can stand, run, graze (I live in an area with lots of deer, so I get a first-hand chance to observe them).

Suppose a sci-fi story, where humans encounter a fantastically advanced alien species. Over the course of the story events occur where individuals in the alien species see not learn anything at all, while later generations seem imbued with those same learnings. What humans are encountering might be instead incredibly advance, and highly encoded instinct.

Is that not intelligence?

I'm reminded of the schools of buddhism, where a differentiation is that you are able to achieve enlightenment in one-lifetime or in many.

The main distinction between life and non-life appear to be the ability to experience the universe. A blade of grass is alive no different than a human, but entirely different from a rock. Experience seems to be some kind of basis for intelligence, without which it cannot exist, thus perhaps, all experiential beings are intelligent in some way.

The problem is that neither Linus nor the other prominent maintainers will live forever. C was the right choice in 1991 but today the landscape is different enough that its shortcomings, for the younger generations, are painful to ignore.

So saying yes to Rust, or to some other language that is not filled with foot guns and could also work in the kernel space, is not only a matter of kindness but a matter of long-term strategy for the kernel.
The US healthcare system is generally terrible for cost effectiveness but efficacy is very good for certain things. For most types of cancer, our 5-year survival rates are at or near the top worldwide.
I have watched crows wait at stoplights in order to cross the road, even when flying over it would have taken a few seconds. It’s funny how the sign of intelligence in this case was laziness.
> starting a project out of grudge

How many times has this succeeded for fundamental work? I can think of a couple, including Xorg and GCC. I don't know if those cases can be characterized as "grudges" exactly but, in each instance, someone was unsatisfied with the prevailing conditions, forked the work, and then subsumed the legacy.

Doubtless there have been far more failures than successes. I also know that computing probabilities based on such ratios is simple minded: other factors exist and the equation is non-linear.

> But I think Linux isn't at that position yet.

I was disturbed by the irrational behavior I saw in this talk[1]. What the presenter sought was reasonable: communicate the intended semantics so Rust kernel developers can track the evolution. This was somehow understood as: forego C and become a Rust programmer, take responsibility for our work and maintain it going forward.

No, I do not believe the former implies the latter. There are endless silos, both formal and informal, for both good reasons and bad reasons, permeating all intellectual work, whether "open" or not. It is entirely reasonable to imagine that this pattern can be employed among reasonable people for the matter at hand, especially for something like file systems, where even parallel implementations can and do exist simultaneously.

If this behavior is prevalent enough then drastic steps are justified. Whether they're feasible or not is another matter, and also a many factored, non-linear calculation. One could, for instance, reimplement only some fraction of the kernel and be entirely sufficient for most of the backend cloud server Linux use case. Given the enthusiasm for Rust among major cloud operators, I suspect this might be attempted at some point.

Rather than seeing this phase of an interview as a chance to "conform even harder" and show smiling engagement in what is already an unfair / coercive farce, try thinking of this as an opportunity to exercise your curiosity.

I mean sure you don't really care, you just need a job. But it's possible to be curious about lots of things you don't really care about. Look at that bird, I wonder where it's flying from/to. Hey it's a car parked on the street, I wonder how many people had sex in the back. Look it's a manager at a company, I wonder how they handle product ideas in that company. Being curious is easy, usually it hurts nothing, and it's a kind of muscle that benefits from flexing. Besides, especially if you've got a long drive or a long interview.. well you're stuck with it, and what else are you going to do.
That sounds about like every other answer i get about it. Not much incentive to work on it.
He has also shown narcissistic tendencies, which is consistent with the US government's statements that he did this for publicity and personal recognition/profit. Sorry, when I say "espionage", I mean in the more general sense of dealing damage to the government, not specifically sending the documents to Russia or whatever. There's not a lot of evidence for him being a Russian spy.

> I don't think it is as surprising that he took more files than he should have.

It's extremely surprising if he claims to have been acting in the public's interest by uncovering domestic spying programs and then over 90 percent of the files he took were completely unrelated to that stated goal. That's a very strong indicator of dishonesty.

"It's the same story the crow told me, it's the only one he knows . . . "
When I was little I had a small bb gun and would shoot cans in the backyard. A couple times i shot a crow and it would bounce off their strong chest and they would fly off seemingly unfazed. One time by pure chance I hit a crow in the neck and it died instantly, crashing down into my neighbor's yard. It was very shocking because I had not killed anything like that before. Immediately crows started circling my parents house, making an incredible amount of noise. I was so scared, I jumped over the fence to retrieve the dead crow. At this point crows started to dive bomb me and I thought for sure the whole neighborhood must know what is going on. I buried the crow in the backyard and the crows continued to be in high places around the house making noises until evening. The coordination and the intentional effort they made to disrupt and stop me was something I have never forgotten.
This had a big effect on me, I thought of it's family, and how they were trying to protect it. Needless to say I have not shot another bird since.
“Rugged individualists” will be some of the first to fall, because they are (largely) alone, with few to no friends to watch their backs.

Tight communities will be the hardest to take down, as everyone watches everyone else’s back, and will gladly come to the rescue.

A tightly-integrated community with a rammed-earth rampart and a tree-trunk pallisade will be more of a deterrent than some Rambo with his family in a bunker, because the former has 600 pairs of eyes (and ideally, about as many weapons) and the latter has a dozen pairs of eyes at the most. The risks are far greater than the rewards for the former, and flipped for the latter.

The real separation (and is something that comes long after 2 years of age in humans) is the ability to observe one's thoughts. I totally get that dolphins and elephants and many "big brain" mammals can have social structures, long memories, and the ability to pass down behaviors directly (e.g. "here's how you hunt fish effectively" may not be in dolphin genes, but they do a damn good job of it, or also the "fads" of orcas like the "salmon hat" or, more recently, attacking sailboats).

This filter works because people that are really good at what they do naturally tend to actually care about the surrounding tools/processes involved.

That said.. it is stupid/insulting/weird to interview assembly-line workers as if you're looking for skilled artisans.

My point is that it is still not a magnitude change. And it (probably?) introduces bugs and incompatibilities.

Many cloud providers now offer serverless SQL and Spark capacities (serverless=no set up for you). This is the magnitude change for me.

With pandas you can maybe process 10 million rows, with polars maybe 50 million. But with a distributed service maybe 100 times more?

But the response from management makes it clear they still have their head stuck... in the sand. By refering to the liverwurst when the report makes it clear the problems at the plant were affecting other products - they just are lucky these have not been identified as having killed anyone...

And THAT is the last straw for me and Boar's Head: A recall is fine IF it doesn't paper over lots of other problems. I'm done with Boar's Head as a whole until the rest of management notices this ridiculousity and proclaims a company-wide investigation and cleanup - and then later "distances" itself from incompetent management.

Lack of internal APIs is not the problem if the putative Rust-based clone doesn't aim to be compatible with Linux drivers written in C, which I think it wouldn't. The real problem is that the Linux kernel ABis to user-land are merely stable, myriad, and poorly documented. Keeping up is not possible. The BSDs, Solaris/Illumos, and Windows all had at least one (sometimes two) attempts at being compatible with Linux kernel user-land ABIs, and all failed due to being woefully incomplete in spite of being huge.

He was trying to commit espionage against the US, and it's extremely clear to anyone who has passing experience with the leaks and a shred of intellectual honesty,
