I think there was a discussion regarding this last year where linus was saying that they are already thinking of who will call shots after him so I think even though right now it's very much a linus thing, I think they are already prepared for the next person to lead it in case we ever need it
Hi, thanks for your work!
I have a question, as someone who can just about read assembly but still do not intuitively understand how to write or decompose ideas to utilise assembly, do you have any suggestions to learn / improve this?
As in, at what point would someone realise this thing can be sped up by using assembly? If one found a function that would be really performant in assembly how do you go about writing it? Would you take the output from a compiler that's been converted to assembly or would you start from scratch? Does it even matter?
I think the logitech MX mouse are really good, in fact, I buy refurbished or second hand and they still last years of ruff use. Although, they are quite expensive and I have heard some people don’t like the shape ( shocking for me as that was the only reason I bought one in the first place)
Wow, I used to like midnight commander a lot but moved away from it. Seeing things like that being built relatively easily makes me want to try using this for my personal project! Good work.
Why do you think so? I assume that writing the same piece of code in assembly would take more than twice as long (conservative estimate) if you do the same in high level languages without much benefit. Can you elaborate your opinion a bit more as I am curious. I have been wanting to get into learning assembly but just cant seem to do it as high level languages are so easy to code in and want to know if anyone really uses assembly nowadays.
It’s sad that a company can’t accept negative PR and show them that they do indeed support their employee’s actions. I think it has more to do with how all organizations want to feel professional instead of nerdy and fun.
