Linus Torvalds on aliasing

Re: Linus Torvalds on aliasing
#12I sometimes wonder what the world of computing, or even the world in general, would look like today if Linus Torvalds hadn't existed, or happened to have not gotten into computers.
Better security in general maybe? The mainline kernel community is known for its conservatism on introducing security mitigation that may affect development in other ways. In comparison, BSD is more security-minded (M* Money per Linus). Although much has been changed after KSPP.

#13I think we are at the point where someone just needs to put up a Linus swearing email tracker with analytics and shit and stop posting these threads. We have to come to the realization that the discussion on this is: a) useless- doesn't change anything b) the publicity is affecting the other side more So basically Linus is Trump
Oh, that's cute. The mere fact that you say that makes it clear you have no idea who Trump is.

I really love that he is the way he is. Smart and honest. Nothing like Trump.
Not sure what the word "smart" means but he is surely pragmatic and based on such emails looks like he gets easily frustrated.

He gets frustrated with people that are supposed to be experts but that don't match up to that in practice (in his eyes at least)
Re: Linus Torvalds on aliasing
#17first thing I do when I see a Linus email: ctrl+f "braindamage". never disappoints.
I search for "garbage" or "trash"

Nobody is expert and everybody makes mistakes. He should probably lower his expectations.
