  • Newey leaving

    In his book he mentions that the team is really important. He wants to have the ability to be able to determine how a team works. Ensure that people can speak up, not too much politics, etc.

    Pretty sure the power struggles together with Honer resulted in Newey deciding this will impact making a good car.

    He left a team ages ago because they didn't inform him about some driver thing. Him leaving now should not come as a surprise.

  • I saw multiple answers on that. One said that the garden leave could start immediately. Then the non compete would start now instead of when his contract ends. Though another said that a non compete would only begin when his contract ends.

    Anyway, I guess one answer is right. 😂

  • Those hacked together system-specific bash scripts were shit.

    With a different feature set per script as well. The systemd service files have often been pushed upstream.

    Pretty sure people liking those scripts never really tried dealing with them across distributions. Though this just rehashes things that were said when distributions decided if to switch to systemd. Still the same strange claim that those scripts are somehow easier. It wasn't, it is also way easier to package a systemd file from upstream than to maintain that stuff within a distribution.

  • I wonder if this is still true, now that he no longer works for RedHat, but Microsoft.

    Why wouldn't Fedora do that? Decisions are decided by multiple people, they are not forced through or just decided unilaterally by one person.

    Enough people in Fedora try to improve the low level stuff. I'm looking forward to that homedir systemd stuff. Don't care about this sudo alternative.

  • Systemd isn't just an init system. It is a project with low level building blocks for a distribution. Most of the complaints are that it isn't just an init system, while it's not meant to be just an init system.

  • Are you reading what you wrote? It's full of contradictions.

    It seems you think that people should be free from consequences until a certain level is surpassed? That's rather arbitrary.

    What I saw is that an active developer got actually banned just for arguing against an affirmative action.

    It's often not as simple as how you summarize this. Above is awfully similar to the incorrect claim of "cancel culture". While often that meant that people think someone should be able to do as they please without any consequences. Except for things they dislike, then there should be consequences.

  • While this is true to an extent, from experience this line of thinking has its limits and is very easy to misapply.

    If the majority of contributions come from one person, then yeah, maybe that person should dictate everything. Else you'd miss out on all of those contributions, no?

    I use Home Assistant. If reported a few bugs. Every single time I get a really friendly response. Often things are fixed quickly. Things are discussed, different opinions seem to be appreciated and considered. This doesn't mean that they'll do whatever someone suggests.

    What I find funny about the one contributor who does the majority of the work situation is that it can also be seen in a different way.

    Home Assistant as a project has grown like crazy. I'm unable to say exactly why that it, I must see it a great accomplishment.

    At one point Home Assistant was just one person doing the majority of the work. Nowadays it is far from that. Pointing towards just one person doing most of the work ignores how it maybe could be. Meaning, maybe with "magic" the project would be crazily bigger. With a crazy amount of contributors. With maybe people paid for by companies to contribute.

    That's what I find lacking in the logic as said by some comments (not by you). It's a comparison of the current status, not of different outcomes. And those outcomes could be worse, or better.

  • where the committee perform worse because the "forced" member

    Ah, the common strawman. A committee where everyone thinks pretty much the same is somehow better than one where a few have a different opinion?

    Such discussions took place decades ago when pretty much every manager was only male. And they often honestly thought they did the right thing. When there were more women forced to be managers the group as a whole got better insights into different opinions. Which helped to see that certain things could be done a different way.

    That to me is history, plus rather logical.

    Having a few people with different opinions is further usually good for a committee. Though some like every single person to think the same, more efficient or something. If most think the same it's way easier to overlook something.

  • pride parade in Iran.

    I suggest to look at the history of Iran.

    Your argument is a bit weird. People are suggesting for more diversity. Then you seem to say that's bad because they should wait until an opportunity that people fight for more diversity? I'm not following.

  • There's various nuclear reactors that have been built in Europe in the last 10-20 years. They've all gone crazily over budget. Yet every time the answer is that it was the wrong technology and other excuses. Nuclear is NOT cheap.

  • It seems crazy expensive compared to what it would cost in the Netherlands. No advertisement, but check prices on e.g. the site Solar Bouwmarkt. There's still loads of costs aside from the panels themselves, so please add everything up. Still, if you think that was a good price I wonder if you know the costs involved.

  • I saw a video where they described what was said in the trial. Apparently they sometimes buy stories just to have something to use as pressure on people. I'm pretty sure that you're right, Trump is quiet because he is forced to.

  • Its healthy to always acknowledge the possibility but if there's a mountain of evidence pointing one way

    You're assuming the fingerprint is perfect. It might not be. In enough cases they do not have the full fingerprint. Then if there's a match, was it actually a match or not?

    For above, this caused problems though times. Especially with huge fingerprint databases.

    Disagree with your statement that there's loads of evidence pointing that fingerprint are unique. That's not how they're used. And there's enough cases where it went wrong.
