That's not what a mailing list is. What you are describing is an email message with multiple recipients, not a mailing list. Mailing lists don't include the email addresses of all of the recipients in the distributed messages To or CC fields, and the From and Reply-to is the address of the mailing list, never a list of all users on the mailing list.

Mailing lists are centrally managed, and have a "reflector" or central distribution point (what you call a "robot") which maintains the email addresses of all the people on the mailing list. In order to add or remove yourself to the mailing list, you typically have to send a message to name-of-mailing-list-REQUEST, not to the whole mailing list of course. Now days there are usually web pages that people can use to subscribe and unsubscribe and view the archives, and which the administrator can use to moderate messages, but in the old days the moderator was a human and administered the list via email. To save bandwidth (in the days that it mattered, i.e. over the slow ARPANET and over international connections and expensive dial up modems) there would be redistribution lists for regions and organizations, which users or local administrators would have to manage themselves (or the central administrator would have to forward requests to the redistribution list administrator), so only one copy of the message had to be sent to each redistribution list.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_mailing_list

An electronic mailing list or email list is a special use of email that allows for widespread distribution of information to many Internet users. It is similar to a traditional mailing list — a list of names and addresses — as might be kept by an organization for sending publications to its members or customers, but typically refers to four things:

1) a list of email addresses,

2) the people ("subscribers") receiving mail at those addresses,

3) the publications (email messages) sent to those addresses, and

4) a reflector, which is a single email address that, when designated as the recipient of a message, will send a copy of that message to all of the subscribers.
When the message is a threat of violence or hitmen, it should be taken serious regardless of the targeted person gender.

It is very important to not trivialize harassment directed at men because they are male and not female. That is part of the very gender stereotype that it is the cause of the statistics your referenced, and reinforcing that behavior will only make things worse.
Yep, just apt-get install nvidia-cuda-toolkit. It's currently v5.5.22 (a mid-2013 version). Debian started working on a packaging of v6.x in the "experimental" repository a few weeks ago, which will probably migrate to regular Debian and Ubuntu releases once it's tested a bit.
I sometime think whether some people, especially people like Lennart did not experience bullying at school and would prefer the internet be policed to prevent any "attacks" made towards them.

Sometimes you just need to take it on the chin and carry on.

Maybe it's because I'm from the UK and you just expect the the world to shit on you whenever possible, I'm not really affected by outright attacks and offensiveness, but I probably wouldn't let anyone get to me, like Lennart shows.
Are these end-user applications? I suspect developers can tend to be less grateful than end-users, and this guy was writing an XML parser.

I've also had people thank me for a FOSS app, but that was also a consumer application. The fact that it was open-source was actually incidental though, I don't think anyone have actually forked or looked at the code. If they did, maybe I'd have gotten some hate mail ;)
It is possible.

There are also people involved on both sides, and people get angry and frustrated.

> Being polite about doing that would benefit the same set of people, and may others at the same time.

And a lot of people believe that sugar-coating it would reduce the benefit by signalling that Kays behaviour wasn't so bad after all.
Why is is that each time offensive Linus quotes are used only a handful of them show up ? Over the thousands of emails that have been exchanged in the last fifteen years there surely must exist a bigger variety.
Curious about why. I'd understand a social stigma against ad-based redirection services, but does that translate into a frown against all shorteners somehow? Or is there some other cause?
What I thought was most interesting in the Cuba case was how little technology it takes to train Doctors. Outside of surgery Doctors tend to have other people doing the high tech hands on work like operating an MRI or Doing blood-work. But, as they training people to operate in the 3rd world even surgery tends to be fairly low tech.

In reality it's the opportunity costs that makes training doctors so expensive. So, in many ways less developed nations have a huge cost advantage when supplying doctors. The real issue is after exporting them they probably don't send all that much money back home.
Well if you have the capability to diagnose 500 patients per month, then you are going to be reporting around 500 new infections each month regardless of whether there are 500 or 500,000. Some of the articles from last week made it sound like most of the blood testing labs are already at capacity, which would make these numbers basically meaningless.
I am aware of the fact that this wasn't his first 'offense'.

Nonetheless, my question still stands: how is a verbally abusive diatribe in any way better than a shorter, more reasoned, and perhaps final response?
For temperature control, you probably want to use a PI controller with Anti-windup. This will compensate for the limits on actuator (heating element) output, and prevent large overshoots from "windup" of the Integral element.

Or grow a sustainable business from something small to something huge that produces a lot of cash along the way while your enterprise value increases ahead of a large exit (or die trying).
It's not impossible, it can definitely be done through asset acquisition at higher prices, or contracting some dubious consulting agents/firm.
> Your response is completely off the mark because in many ways "open source" is as much a community as it is a philosophy.

Open source is as much a community as the park outside I run in. Other people show up there, some say hi, I meet my friends there sometimes, but the park is not a community.
You know for being a toxic element, Linus's has done a hell of a job with Linux. Is there anything else that's even come close to it in terms of technical or business success? I don't think so.

That video is Phil's friend defending him by ignoring reality and saying "you are wrong because I say so". Phil started getting hate because he exploited people, ripped them off, abused them and acted like he was some sort of genius for making a game he didn't even make, which won an award that was won because his investor owns the contest and judged the entries.

The hate grew to massive portions mainly because of his response to that initial hate. You can't insult everyone and expect them to thank you for it.

Then you'd point out all the pretty crappy code Linus had checked in? That would be your, what, revenge? And a way of showing how not to be a jerk?

I don't think Linus would care. Everyone makes mistakes. Linus is a gatekeeper of sorts and he has to "point out crappy code" whether people like his language or not. The outside world just needs to decide how seriously they take these outbursts. I don't think there's any evil dimension in that.

It's a shame that ones personal experiences result in generalizations that are then attached to Open Source. People can and will be assholes in any kind of project or group. That has not got a lot to do with Open Source. It would be fairer to say: "I had many bad experiences with the Open Source communities I was involved with".
WSJ is an exception - you can always google the title to get a free copy. Also - they broke the news a good 2+ hours before any other sites - so they were the only source.
And Lennart's post is bit of a mess of over generalisation.

Both arguments have qualitative merit, but also large quantitative holes.

There are many open source communities (and there are many altogether; good and bad) that don't have any of this sort of behaviour. It would seem that the Linux kernel / systems arena would have more than its fair share.

"We" don't "act together (via legislation)".

Legislation finds it's cause in parliamentarian incentives, cooperation and probably a lot of coincidence.

"Market forces" are basically the sum of individual choices and if someone wants to declare them to be necessarily against society, then this peculiar "society" needs to be defined.

The point of balance, in every organisational structure, will be set by the humans who build, affect and reproduce it. Not by some idealistic ballot box.
>They are both horrible to work with and suck quite a bit, both introduced way prematurely and buggy.

The community invites you to produce something superior. PulseAudio and systemd may have their own problems, but they're in place for a reason. I don't think they were selected due to some irrational hero worship for Poettering; they were selected because they were the most concise way to solve a real problem.

As much as one may dislike Pulse, it provides a unified, modern audio system that just works. I don't know if you remember the bad old days when it was a fight to get applications to play audio correctly, but that has gone away with the introduction of Pulse. For all of its potential problems and inefficiencies, it provides the basics in a reasonably accessible and universal manner.

>And worst, it is not even optional, which is BAD.

It is optional. Open-source means you can run your own distro completely free of Poeterring's touch. You may have to deal with the legacy left by his projects, but that's nothing special; he had to deal with the legacy of ALSA et al and wrote compatibility layers that were major factors in the successful proliferation of PulseAudio.

>The package maintainers, the nerds that like to have meetings on what should happen with a certain distribution got convinced, or simply wanted to be the person to implement something new, without giving it some proper thought.

I'm sure the nerds that are entrusted with the security and sanity of millions of systems across the world would disagree about whether "proper thought" was involved.

I don't really see a point in addressing the rest of your reply. Disagreement is fine, but please be civil. Poeterring and others in the community are obviously capable and they deserve acknowledgement and respect, which is a different thing than deference or worship. If you disagree, please disagree, but do so with civility. This shouldn't have to be complicated.
Both. You have a choice between:

A. $100k in cash compensation, or

B. $40k cash + a shot at becoming a tenure-track professor.

The market is saying that opportunity to possibly become a professor is worth $60k.

"CHACE: Doctors Without Borders tried to tell stories like this all summer, but much of the public wasn't listening.

Can someone here clue me in about why mailing lists still appear to be the de-facto platform for communication for a lot of open source projects - particularly those that are centered around kernel development and other low level "stuff"?

The point of punctuation is to convey where pauses and breaths should be taken when reading something (at least in this sort of context). If it makes sense to read it, then it is fine.

As an example, I could have left that comma out of the previous sentence. But having it there tells you how to read the sentence the way that I heard it in my head.
But I do not care that some guy refused to approve your name or whatever. I do care, that you are shaming people you do not like on public forum. It is pretty much same behavior as Linus and other a*holes in OS community.

Congrats on top comment BTW.
>Why did he not roll his own distro fully based on systemd to convince people it is so cool?

He does, it is called fedora. The problem is that red hat has so much influence that people will follow their lead. In this case, they pretty much have to as some software simply won't work if they don't follow.
To add some context which my sibling commenters seem to be missing -- this is a quote from the game Alpha Centauri read upon discovering the "Nanoreplicator" technology. Furthermore it's from a manifesto called "The Ethics of Greed".
On Stamplay pricing: whenever I see pricing in pounds not dollars on a service like this, I think they are not quite ready for my business. My IP address (pretty) clearly identifies me as a U.S. customer, why not present the pricing page in US dollars?

I agree, 67 could be better, you can also use two different temperatures, one for the yolk and then one (higher) for the whites for a short time - by ramping up the heat (or using two baths) at the end of the cooking.

With PulseAudio's development methods it'd be difficult to bang out a flexible, high-quality OS audio system in any finite amount of time. For example, they merged a patch in I think 4.0 that was literally incomplete - it changed the undocumented and uncommented internal interface between resamplers and the rest of PulseAudio without updating all of the resampling code to match, so if anything used the non-updated resamplers PulseAudio crashed. Their official volume control app used one of those resamplers; using it caused PulseAudio to crash randomly. This was eventually fixed in 5.0 by reverting the offending change, but of course it came with a bunch of new features of questionable quality. (Not sure if there were any regressions this time around; I gave up trying to track down PulseAudio crashes after that one.)

A lot of that comes from who their mentors were and the conditions of their lab. They're often missing vital safety materials and the senior scientists have already given in to apathy. I've heard plenty of horror stories but it always comes back to "that's just how we do things in our lab, oh well"
Linus' behavior is one that is necessary in order to work with the dominant culture in OSS, particularly white males. The open forum insults to establish the pecking order, and to deter thin skinned people is one that is also abundant in other cultures where open forums are used for establishing the hierarchy. One such example are some East-Asian cultures, such as the Chinese.

The question is, is this method of selection conducive and is the use of obsessive aggression costing open forum projects like OSS through selective acceptance? There may have never been an alternative to the extremely abusive nature of white-male dominated cultures in the first place in regards to projects in open forums.
> Is it wrong to want to change things?

No. It's not wrong to not want to change them either. I like Linus. He delivers. Many people talk nice, but it's all bullshit.
> Most people are not going to see the context of that statement.

Most people are never going to contribute to the Linux kernel in the first place. Anyone who is likely to, is likely to 1) actually get at least some cursory knowledge about the community and the process, 2) not deal directly with Linus until they've spent a lot of time getting up to scratch, including submitting patches to sub-system maintainers, 3) get only polite responses from Linus if/when they do deal with him.

I don't think Linus has any reasons at all to be concerned about whether or not people see the context of the statement. The people who don't are not likely to affect his ability to do his job.

> All he did in that matter is make himself look bad and, to a degree, made his project look bad.

Any reasons why Linus should care?

> As it's been stated elsewhere, such actions most likely just drives people away.

Linux does not have a problem with lack of developers trying to get stuff into the kernel. If it drives away some good people, then so be it. If it makes some shitty developers think twice about ignoring repeated admonitions from Linus, then it seems to me like good use of his time.

> A public lashing with this type of language should not be considered healthy for the project nor the open source movement. It only causes negativity within and towards the project with the additional issue, as you show yourself, of not always actually solving the problem.

From my point of view, the negativity tends to show up in discussions like this, rather than in forums where people are actually concerned with these projects. The level of desire for political correctness annoys me greatly. I find a lot of the responses here far worse than the direct language Linus sometimes uses because of insinuations and underlying implications of the statements.
[sf]scanf is also significantly faster than the C++ iostreams equivalents. I sped up a IO bound program stream processing program recently by 40+% by converting it back to sscanf().
In my opinion, there is a huge distance between politely pointing out the faults and problems with something and sugar-coating.

And maybe this approaches the crux of the problem. It seems that there is a false dichotomy at work here.

Being polite (or, indeed, just not being verbally abusive) takes less time and energy, and is overwhelmingly more effective, than being overly abrasive.

I don't believe 'Sugar-coating' has anything to do with being polite and accurate. 'Sugar-coating' is all about being less accurate and on point.

> He specifically said 'in many ways', then elaborated on some of these ways.

But none of those ways have anything to do with open source. You need to look no further than #gamergate to see that people act like assholes on the internet.

> This is just an argument from being pedantic - he's obviously talking about the open source community at large (and specifically, some sub-communties), and I can't honestly believe you don't know that.

I know that, but equating a concept with people is like equating the corner block outside with the drug dealer that sells there. "Street corners are awful!"

> t's incredibly obvious that the original post isn't referring at all to the general philosophies of open source, but to the actual communities he participates in, in terms that are not remotely unusual.
