Rusty Shackleford

Yeah, that’s very true. That driver also doesn’t deserve to get convicted of something more severe than what he actually did.

So does the United States in their trucking industry. This guy just fucked up horribly. He is not, however, a murderer which implies premeditation.

Fortunately, the law doesn’t operate on what’s in your mind.

Murder implies premeditation. The prosecutor and judge didn’t see evidence of premeditation.

I largely agree, but the Maricopa prosecutor and judge saw it differently.

So, upon reading the article, the NTSB concluded the driver was extremely fatigued.

Do truck drivers not get tired where your from? Is this incident really an indictment of the entire United States? Is the rest of the world a tragedy-free paradise?

So, if you actually read the article, it says he claimed that the steering wheel locked up on him, but the NTSB stated that he suffered from severe fatigue. Maricopa county prosecutors said there wasn’t enough evidence to press any felonious charges.

So, at best, this would be a case of manslaughter (which is a felony), but there’s no conclusivity on whether it was with malicious intent or premeditated.

So no, he’s not a murderer. He negligently fell asleep at the wheel.

Fuck that.

Too many people with brittle spirits performatively clutch their pearls to the point of banality when they’re called out on it.

Operational security requires robust peer review of codebases and their potential vulnerabilities. Small distributions haven’t had the scale of scrutiny required to entrust them with incoming, outgoing, and stored private information.

Linus doesn’t have to be a dick all the time. However, as I get older, I begin to understand the wisdom behind a monologue in Team America: World Police more and more:

We’re dicks! We’re reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong Il is an asshole. Pussies don’t like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn’t appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves… because pussies are an inch and half away from assholes. I don’t know much about this crazy crazy world, but I do know this: if you don’t let us fuck this asshole, we’re going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!

In this case, Linus is a dick who fucks when it’s not appropriate a lot (i.e., is harsh in his critique about bad code in pull requests). Assholes push bad code, and sometimes it’s so bad that it’ll fuck up the whole kernel. Pussies in tech magazines criticize his style of critique. Other pussies get “butt-hurt” because they code like shit too and they can’t or won’t admit it, and they’re so full of shit, they’re pussies who’ve become assholes themselves.

The code in question is, in fact, garbage.
