He’d submitted the kit to the Washington State Patrol Crime Laboratory in March 2019, according to the crime lab report. Lux began emailing Bruton as early as that July demanding answers and accusing police officers of lying to her. Bruton replied that the results could take anywhere from six to nine months on average to come back.

The article paints the picture that Lux was immediately hostile to investigators and had a pre-existing notion that those in authority were out to get her.

I doubt the investigation was perfect, as basically none are, but their effort seems reasonable.

Based on the scant details in the article Im not convinced this wasn’t a medical event, as there’s no solid evidence of an attacker.

Martin is not a maintainer of the Kernel/DMA which is why Hellwig clearly states he doesn’t want to add another maintainer when rejecting Martin’s offer to be a maintainer of this proposed code.

This is very clear if you read the email. If you don’t like the formatting go read the full email chain yourself, you will know where to find it if you’re so familiar with ‘kernel social dynamics’.

One party is offering the status quo of a continuous decline in quality of life, the other offers an attractive fairy tale about an ideological war where you (white men) are the ubermensch (gigachad) victims who will get their vengeance.

A counterpoint is that allowing undocumented economic migrants in (which makes up the majority of illegal immigration) then there is reduced capacity for a country to take in and integrate refugees who are actually at risk of death or persecution.

It is disingenuous to talk about illegal immigration as if all of them are at risk of death in their country of origin, and those that are genuinely at risk are refugees and able to apply for asylum once they reach a country.

Saying "brain damage makes you conservative" is too broad of a claim

Just circling back to this because that is explicitly not what I said. Read what I commented again.

[–] Cypher 4 points 10 hours ago (5 children)

Fetterman famously had a major change in political ideology following a brain injury.

Numerous studies have shown that brain injuries are associated with more conservative beliefs, though I don’t have the time to dig all of them up right now.

though I think you probably should when I warn you about the dark path you‘re walking here.

What would that be exactly?

So you think Hellwig doesn’t understand what is and isn’t intended to go into the kernel/dma that dma maintainers would then be responsible for?

You don’t seem to be familiar with either the full conversation the developers had (its all available) or you don’t understand how the Linux project is structured and maintained.

Since there hasn't been a reply so far, I assume that we're good with maintaining the DMA Rust abstractions separately.

No, I'm not. This was an explicit:

And I also do not want another maintainer. If you want to make Linux impossible to maintain due to a cross-language codebase do that in your driver so that you have to do it instead of spreading this cancer to core subsystems. (where this cancer explicitly is a cross-languagecodebase and not rust itself, just to escape the flameware brigade).

It wouldn't surprise me to see if other types of brain damage could make you more liberal too.

I will happily read a study that demonstrates this, however I have only been able to locate results that show brain injuries tend to make people more conservative.

If you want anyone to take you seriously on this topic you need to provide more than conjecture.

As for my argument, I have done nothing more than provide the facts as I understand them based on scientific studies.

[–] Cypher 79 points 14 hours ago (29 children)

There have been studies on this, brain damage is linked to more conservative political beliefs.

It is not ableist to point out a fact.

Hellwig has some excellent points and people are up in arms solely because he’s not giving the green light for the shiny new toy.

Keep the wrappers in your code instead of making life painful for others

This is a perfectly valid approach, anyone claiming he’s resistant for no reason has never tried maintaining a multi language code base.

If you want to use something that's not C, be that assembly or Rust, you write to C interfaces and deal with the impedance mismatch yourself as far as I'm concerned.

Again an entirely reasonable approach. There is precedence for this approach in the kernel/dma and I see no reason to change this now, unless a full kernel/dma rewrite to Rust were to occur.

Didn't get much actual shopping done. This isn't a rare thing or anything, there's no custody or other limitations going on.

Got the discounted chinese take away boxes for lunch and the boy got a small bag of chips from the Italian takeaway as a snack before lunch.

Please no brigading, I'm only linking for context.

Criticising the OP for being spiteful by saying "Served them right!" in the post when lack of customers resulted in menu changes, which still failed to save the restaurant is hardly "excusing carnism" or being a "fake vegan" in my opinion.

"fake vegan" isn't in the rules anywhere either? Odd really.

Failing to celebrate the closure of a (formerly) vegan restaurant due to lack of customers hardly sounds like 'carnist rhetoric' (rule 5) to me but what do I know.

These look to be poor value compared to previous years.

 

12 years ago an astute commentor noted that Warhammer lore was far less static than some would like to believe.

I stumbled on this comment while looking for something completely unrelated to the boring Primarchs but here we are. Also Leman Russ' original version was almost as ugly as the modern incarnations!

That's because he's not even a primarch at this point - just an Imperial Commander.

All the people whining about 40k's "static, unchanging" fluff need to take a long had look at just how much has changed over 20 odd years.
