One of these days I hope to see someone on one of those occult shows (Sabrina and Charmed reboots, take note) by intoning "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...."

Maybe it looks like a Vulcan, but I don't see it as being Spock specifically.

Usually depends on the amount of contamination - with chocolate, the problem begins at the source. Other foods may only experience cross-contamination.

That just seems improbable that chocolate has that much more than every other food. I'm sure there are other foods that get it from source too. If not, what's different about chocolate?

It seemed a reasonable article to me. A couple of mild curses, but nothing to indicate he was out of control. I searched for the word "hanger", and it is not there, so I assume you are saying that his anger management is not working, but I don't see that supported by the link.
Do you just disagree with his argument?

And yes, it's way more watered down then most of his answers he used to give to bad code submitted to the kernel.

I think this one might have legs for the lower end market.
Based on observations in my own office where we're deep into the Google and SAAS market most of the office are on Chrome books and various tablets with laptop keyboard adapters. These are management, editors, writers, and support staff. The only people with real grunt are the technical side and c level management.
Thinking about own usage the only thing that needs any real grunt is my gaming pc. Most of my usage is my phone and I have a raspberry pi for a media server and porn downloader. My surface is mostly a media player and comic reader. Something that could probably go to my phone if I invested in a Samsung vr headset.
If only screens could get more efficient I wouldn't have to charge my phone every five hours.

Comparing that with his angry rants of the past when he cursed at people, and called them all manner of idiots, this is a very measured reply. He calls the idea stupid, and lays out in pretty good detail why it's wrong.

@DogsB I really want apple to switch to ARM, so that arm gets a decent foothold in the desktop market. It'd be nice for there to exist a competitor to chipzilla and x86.
I don't like their products, but I think it's long overdue for another architecture to pop up and kill off the oligopol of the market segment.

I don't like their products, but I think it's long overdue for another architecture to pop up and kill off the oligopol of the market segment.I don’t, as I run VirtualBox on it and with x86 that only needs to emulate privileged instructions instead of the whole instruction set.
But then, I’m never going to upgrade to their current over-priced shit with only a single port that needs a truckload of adapters. So whatever, I guess.

I don't like their products, but I think it's long overdue for another architecture to pop up and kill off the oligopol of the market segment.Intel themselves tried to call x86 deprecated and rope everyone into Itanium, and it didn't go over well because not too many servers and desktops got switched over (partly because the new processors were anything but cheap) and thus not too much software got ported.
The only different thing is that now we already have a sea of tablets, phones and ultrabooks which run on ARM processors, but they tend to run far less sophisticated stuff so all the sophisticated stuff still needs porting.
EDIT: Also, Linus' point about cheap desktop hardware means that Apple is unlikely to make a real dent, knowing their usual price points...

This is what he was replying to:
Linus is the ultimate unixoid. I paid attention that even
less devoted unixoids are high on native development.
For me, as one that drinks and breaths cross-development all his professional
life, it sounds strange, but this mindset is not rare at all.It's not really a flaming statement (just a little bit), and it's definitely not code submitted to the kernel, so I'm not sure if it's a fair test of the efficacy of his anger management training, unless everyone of Linus's posts before were flaming, which I doubt.
I think we should encourage him to sign up here, instruct the denizens to treat him the way they treated our last "esteemed personage" (Jeff) , invite @blakeyrat back, and see what happens. (Disclaimer: No, I am not saying that Jeff is in the same magnitude of importance as Linus.)

All true, but apple has a pretty price insensitive customer base, and it seems like a fairly good inroad to the market. Once the waters have been tested, I imagine it could help with further ventures, since at least some libraries and tooling would have been ported then.
Not that I think that Windows will ever make the swap, so arm won't move into that market, but Linux should be doable.

I remember that in Eric S. Raymond's "The Cathedral and the Bazaar", Raymond described Torvalds as being "self-deprecating". Was there any truth to this at all?

It makes a lot of sense for laptops, where performance per watt is far more important than flat out performance. Some of ARM's designs are also pretty powerful. However, the bits and pieces that determine this are a very complex mix: I'd not trust any performance measure other than actual looking at how things work when deployed.

Having encountered some of the other giant egos around in the computing industry, yes, there was and probably still is a lot of truth to it.
