You took time to find it and complain, but want to bill to fix? Classy.

#92Can't speak much for the project, but have to admire them for sticking with Mandarin. India is atleast a 100-200 years away from something of this kind happening; or more likely never at all. Indeed, there is not a single research university worth its name that isn't also essentially an export hub of brains to the 5-eyes (& Singapore). English is crucial for India's system of feudal slavery to work.

What do you mean this statement? Do you even know GlusterFS (later became RedHat Storage) developed from India.
First try to understand the context before starting your racist rants.

I don't think they stick to Mandarin because they want to. English is considered hip and intellectual in China, especially in the first tier cities which I suppose the developers of such modern technology are. But the problem is that English is really, really hard for Chinese native speakers, since grammar, words, culture and pronunciation are so different from all the Chinese languages. So as a team leader or projec…
There are deep social divisions in India, considering its tortured (and propagandized) history.

There are systematic faults, which prevent much change, if the current policies are kept up (note: India's literacy rate is ~78 %, since literacy (except in English) brings no great advantage).

Imagine China, with only the expensive class of engineers, for instance. Or atleast, one with this class, and another class that was educated in English, but barely knows the language, let alone possessed of any usable skill.
There are now villages, driven by this economics, where rural-children are being taught in English. Considering how bad the Japanese/Chinese are with English, it shouldn't be hard to interpolate how disabling this is when everything is being taught in a foreign language.

That India is a linguistic-apartheid state doesn't contradict with the fact that the creme de la creme is quite good (very apparent from the population in the US).

what is the leader/follower pattern? Something like master/slave approach?
Leader/Follower is actually something entirely different, but the linked chinese document talks about a master/client approach. Sadly, in the past years, due to some political movements, the term "master/slave" has been declared problematic, and GitHub actively warns that projects using such language can and will be excluded from the service. There have been previous discussions about this on HN.
Github says that? Can you share a link? I thought moderation is up to users unless someone is actually abusing the service.

Wow, that's very interesting. I thought GitHub delegates moderation to the repo owners. There was actually a huge debate about this on Reddit caused by Swift merging a rename change PR into master. The Swift team was so excited about the change for some reason that they didn't even run tests before the merge...
Do you have a link for that? I don't follow swift development and I'm unsure what they actually changed.
Rename of what?

#97Released right on the heels of the IPFS announcement?
"The" IPFS announcement? IPFS itself has been around for quite a while. Could you be more specific to which announcement you're referring, and how that relates to BFS?

Care to explain the awesomeness you found?
I see many positive comments that are not downvoted, so when you downvote someone saying "awesome", I suspect it is because you disagree, not because it was a low value post, which would be the reason why you would downvote. Also, your response was "explain why"; again, I don't see people usually questioning each acclaimation.
No, it's pretty clearly downvoted because it contains no elaboration at all, which with one exception all other non-gray posts do.
Re: Baidu File System – A distributed file system for real-time applications
#99How does this compare to IPFS?
Re: Baidu File System – A distributed file system for real-time applications
#100Wasn't there already a file system named BFS? This might get confusing.
