  • What you’re asking is akin to: why are people impressed by the airplane? We’ve already reached the Americas and India by boat.

    SpaceX, and others actually are not advancing science per se, but are greatly improving/optimising the engineering so that it can be used in cheaper ways by others.

    There’s also the issue that after the moon landing we didn’t really improve that much and much of the knowledge faded













  • This is such a dumb take. For as much as I’d like to have a safer language in the kernel you need the current developers, the “big heads” at least because they have a lot of niche knowledge about their domains and how they implementation works (regardless of language) People shouldn’t take shit like this from the ext4 developer, but it doesn’t mean we should start vilifying all of them.

    This guy’s concerns are real and valid but were expressed with the maturity of a lunatic child, but they are not all like this.
