back to article PC version of Linux 4.19 lands with PC version of Linus Torvalds: Kernel handed back to creator

Woke Linus Torvalds has returned from a four-week exile to once again steer the Linux kernel, the widely used software project he founded nearly 30 years ago. The American-Finnish ex-firebrand programmer is back as its official custodian, according to temporary lead Greg Kroah-Hartman in an announcement for version 4.19 of the …

        Re: Anyone wanna take bets?

        So, I have to wonder WHY they would WANT to force Linus out.

        Right now, Linus stands in the way of the *kinds* of things many of us hate showing up in the kernel.

        I have to wonder if the likes of GPLv3, Gnome 3, Pulse Audio, SystemD, DBus, HalD, etc. would infect the kernel as well as userland, if Linus were not there to prevent it.

        So if there ARE rainbow-haired 'identity politics' SJW crowd card-carrying members out there just SALIVATING at the opportunity to take down Linus, it might be to do ACTUAL HARM to the Linux kernel by ALLOWING things like those I mentioned above to INFECT the Linux kernel, to the point where EVERYONE will be forced to embrace it, or switch to FreeBSD

          Do you really think they care about that? My impression is that they care about twitter "victories" before finding a new target they can focus their outrage at. So if Linux hypothetically failed it just gives them a new opportunity to complain.

        There is nothing wrong with giving a little bit of room and thought to people who act/behave/are a little different to you, it doesn't take anything away from your own identity, and it *might* just make the world of difference to someone who has had to fight for recognition and tolerance for a big chunk of their life.

    "By providing a document in the kernel source tree that shows that all people, developers and maintainers alike, will be treated with respect and dignity while working together, we help to create a more welcome community to those newcomers, which our very future depends on if we all wish to see this project succeed at its goals."

    I thought this kind of attitude should be something that comes from actual, real-world, messy and sometimes kick-your-ass personal interactions, not from some kind of text that emanates mystery rays of pink pony goodness just because it's there.

    One can be uncompromising without being abusive. It is possible to be authoritarian while being of exquisite politeness at all times.

    The drill sergeant abuse is meant to break the individualism of rebellious adolescent males, and I don't think this is necessary (or even desirable) in the context of kernel developers: You're not turning young uneducated hotheads into obedient fighting machines, you manage highly skilled and intelligent professionals towards a common goal. Just my 2 cents worth.

    1. Mark 85

      The problem with managing those kinds of folks is that many (most perhaps) think they are primadonnas and thus need "special" treatment. I've worked with more than a few of them and occasionally a proper dressing down is needed to get them to pull their head out of their nether regions and deal with reality. A good example: A developer had one of the few 24" high resolution monitors in a company of around 5,000 (call centers, claim processors, etc.) so he hard coded his application for that monitor. He didn't want to change it and insisted that all employees be given the same equipment as he. Took me and his boss and some rather colorful language to get the point across that the average user had a 16" low resolution monitor and could only see part of his app's display. He did end up being one of our better developers after that.

        "The problem with managing those kinds of folks is that many (most perhaps) think they are primadonnas"

        No, Mark. Only a very few folks are like that. The rest are a typical cross section of the rest of humanity. You may even know a dev and not be aware of it. For example, my brother-in-law has been contributing to various flavo(u)rs of BSD for nearly as long as I have. I've known him for over two decades. It was only last year that we discovered we were both kernel devs ... The subject had quite simply never come up.

          I wish. Perhaps it's just they've accumulated in the large corporation where I work, but in my experience, they're rampant.

          Just getting someone to adhere to the Java formatting standard so you can read, understand, and review their code is moving-the-pyramids time. Sure, I can read code with random indentation, mysterious brace placement, etc. but it's going to take a lot longer than I actually have time, for I need to get back to writing my own code as well.

          God help you if you're trying to get them to respond to the recommendations in the actual code review. Just getting a string corrected so it's grammatically correct is almost impossible.

          Apparently I'm oppressing people when I ask that their code be correct.

      The (future lack of) drill sergeant 'abuse'

      and now I'm reminded of that "Sarcasta-ball" episode of 'South Park'

      Wimpification and emasculation at its finest!

      /me points out that if I scream 'misandrony' I'll be looked at as one of those who sold out to the concept, 'cause it ain't manly to say 'misandrony'.

      "The drill sergeant abuse is meant to break the individualism of rebellious adolescent males"

      Actually that's not true at all. It's to ASSERT AUTHORITY in order to form a cohesive unit. Boot camp isn't about doing what you're told every step of the way. Soldiers aren't robots, and they don't run programs. It's about POSITIVE MOTIVATION. It's about the soldier being positively motivated enough to act correctly on his own, without the need of a drill sergeant breathing down his neck saying "WHAT is your MAJOR MALFUNCTION, NUMB-NUTS?" every time he goes outside the lines a little.

      If you haven't actually BEEN in the military, you don't get it. If you have, you'll probably understand what I mean here. It's not a 'control' thing.

      A really simplified explanation would be that the human mind remembers things by association. Certain associations, including humiliation and physical pain, carry with them a very STRONG association. The intent is to correct bad behavior early on by asserting authority, and demonstrating consequences in a way that's going to be remembered. And, the more STRONG associations there are with a memory, the more likely you are to remember it [especially if the circumstances are in any way similar to the one that stored the memory in the first place].

      And that's why a DRILL SERGEANT is SO effective!

        I have been in the military. My uncle was a US Army Drill Sgt. and breaking you down and building you up is exactly what boot camp is about.

        They have to get rid of civilian habits so you can form one cohesive unit. Just because you don't see something doesn't necessarily mean it not there.

        Boot camp is purely about doing what you are told, when you are told and they way you are told to do it. Individualism is just not tolerated, at all.

        It's also about building up stamina, strength and making sure that the team always comes first.

        That's why a good Drill Sergeant is so effective; [s]he breaks you down, tears you apart, then creates a brand new you. A you who follows orders, even to your own death, without question or hesitation.

      Re: "You need to manage that anger"

      Those who are wishy-washy and spineless and deliberately use 'feel' instead of 'think' (in my opinion) have a propensity towards seeing "passion + confidence" as "anger".

      Using 'feel' because it's less assertive, or potentially offensive to poor widdle snowflakes, because CONFIDENCE 'offends' people (read: those who have self-esteem issues), is an example of what I mean here.

      If you have CONFIDENCE in what you believe, and PASSION for getting things done correctly (etc.), those who are wishy-washy and/or the 'feel instead of think' types, are likely to *FEEL* as if you are *MAD* at them, even though what you REALLY want is for them to USE THAT BONE-COVERED MUSHY THING THAT IS LOCATED 3 FEET ABOVE THEIR ASSES instead of doing something 'bone-headed'.

      I'd say that majority of Linus' infamous profanity-filled rants reflect the *kinds* of frustration from "feelies" (and those who don't use their brains) that I just described.

      Perhaps Linus will need to start saying something like: "So 'pretty please'. With sugar on it. FIX THE [insert Linus worthy profanities] PROBLEM!!!"

    So how many lines of code have all the obligatory commentards who denounce this code of conduct actually contributed? And how does that compare to the number of lines that Linus, Greg and the other maintainers behind this coc have contributed? I'm inclined to think that if the kernel maintainers deem it necessary to curtail abusive behaviour, that they have good reason to do so.

    1. Paul Crawford Silver badge

      I think many (but not all) of the commentards are happy with the ideal of a CoC to stop abusive behaviour. The issue really comes down to what is "abusive" and what is simply getting stuff done in the face of those with an over-inflated opinion of their own status.

      In the case of Linus has has not, to my knowledge, ever attacked someone using racially, sexually or personally derogatory means. What he often does is point out in rather uncompromising terms when people have done something wrong and refused to acknowledge or correct the issue.

      1. jake Silver badge

        As a guy who has been contributing to the kernel on and off for nearly a quarter century[0], Paul has it pretty much correct. Essentially, the only folks bitching about Linus getting sweary HAVE NOT been subject to the swearing. In other words, they are upset on behalf of other folks[1]. And most of the time, the other folks have actually (finally) admitted their error, (finally) fixed it, and the rest of us mutter "about time, bone head!" and life continues. The swearing is a last resort.

        And no, it has never made me feel intimidated about contributing to the kernel. Why not? Simple. Because when it is pointed out that I made a mistake, I fix it without bitching about it, that's why. It's really not a big deal. Unless the developer in question chooses to make it a big deal, that is. In other words, said developer doesn't play well with others, and insists on doing it his/her way.

        Frankly I'm surprised that Linus has been as tolerant as he has been all these years ... If it was my name attached to the project, I'd have really lit into a few of the idiots ... And you commentards who haven't actually spent any time contributing to the kernel, your opinions on the subject are worthless. Come back after you've walked a few miles in my moccasins and I might find your commentardary on the subject worth listening to.

    It's a crying shame that the no-nonsense emphasis of the code of conflict didn't make it into the code of conduct. The expectation of what some might feel overzealous reviews was the whole point of weeding out entitled personalities who shouldn't be contributing to the most critical software project in the world. I think LT's rants have done more good than harm, in publicising that poor-quality code and unprofessionalism will get you publicly embarrassed - but ONLY for those things.

    Instead, this catch-all made it in:

    Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:

    ...

    - Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting

    ...where a committee (or individual) can interpret things how they wish to get rid of controversial people or ones they simply don't like. Things like https://www.inc.com/sonya-mann/drupal-larry-garfield-gor.html springs to mind!

    Four weeks???

    Torvalds is not a nice man. We all know this. Were he not in a meritocracy his behavior would have gotten him fired from most places a dozen times over in the last decade. Fortunately for all of us kernel dev IS a meritocracy. I'm glad he's making the effort to shed his more abusive tendencies. For all that I respect them man for his abilities those tendencies have consistently seemed childish to me.

    But....four weeks?

    You're talking about trying to trigger a major behavioral and personality shift here. That's doable, but usually it requires either months or years of therapy or a major shakeup to the pillars of your life. Unless he's had a life-changing experience four weeks seems way too short a span for him to have truly changed his ways. But I guess we'll see.

      I don't know him and haven't had any interaction with him so I wouldn't know one way or the other. All I've seen is what is reported and I can't conflate that to mean he isn't a nice (enough) person who occasionally has verbal outbursts when dealing with obstinate stupidity.

      If you have had interactions with him on a level that have made you conclude he isn't, please share.

    Aw, man, Linux is turning beige... Bummer. I always liked LT's rants, they are some of the more entertaining and colorful aspects of this otherwise boring industry. Time for "safe spaces" and singing Kumbaya.

      A brave new world.

      "Time for "safe spaces" and singing Kumbaya."

      Devs get "time outs" instead of being yelled at. They get "do overs" when they break something. Every dev gets a trophy! No dev will be left behind, regardless of coding ability! EVERY DEV IS EQUAL!!!!1!!eleven!!11one!

      Well, you'd have to be brave to trust anything a computer ever does at this rate ... Personally, I prefer a sometimes contentious meritocracy where shit actually works to a homogenized, bland mess that makes the namby-pamby set happy-happy. Soma, anyone?

    Show Respect-Correction. . .

    There will be corrections to the CoC there always are!!??

    Beware the “TAB”

    Try to keep in mind the immortal-words of Bill and Ted, "Be excellent to each other."

    Ye Show Respect.!!!?

    0oop's what's that smell is it a Penguin farting or roasting on a slowly turning spit Dh0ooo!!

    Observe this glorious thing here says that God Linus Torvalds who has returned to whom he served, and would have them to serve. Linus has long borne with idolatry, but the times of this ignorance were now ending, and by his servants he now commanded all men every where to repent of their idolatry. Each sect of the learned men would feel themselves powerfully affected by Linus Torvalds discourse, which tended to show the emptiness or falsity of their doctrines!!!

    But sadly no sign of any influence of that other God "Bob Dobbs" Hmmm!!

    Never did like CoC’s far to much “New Speak”. . .

    Something just a bit daft. As a test.
