mice now have arm chips in them for blast processing or some poo poo

i wonder if you can get doom to run on your mouse...

tbf "arm chip" can mean anything from hexacore fancy tablet CPU's to simple microcontrollers like you'd find in basically everything

counting the number of projects, as though the GTK IRC clients and billion abandoned React components are as significant as the Linux kernel or postgres, seems uncommonly naive

gets a bit circular talking about "significant" though, as it is most natural to define it economically, which will of course coincide with where companies are very active.

what attribute would you rather compare?

the argument is that commercial organizations make money off of it and should therefore pay for it, so it seems appropriate to look at the economic impact, but I’m game

i don't care at all about the argument, as it is such a vague idea, just wanted to poke fun at going "most open source code, by a very large margin..." and then throwing in some implicit commercial weighting

There is more to opensource than a loving kernel. Otherwise, you're welcome to show how you run everything in your custom-built O3 micro-architecture optimized kernel and whatever loving stupid nonsense people think will totally make up cputime spent compared to the additional cputime it takes to build it.

i was once tasked with finding out what the number of lines of code should be expected of developers each week so that we could estimate a project's timeline based on the "number of lines" it would be.

i just sent a list of various papers and articles that said that lines of code were meaningless.

estimate one line of apl code per developer per week and hold daily scrums where everyone describes the current shape and contents of their array, and what array shape they hope to achieve by tomorrow

That's quite simply not true. While it's true that Linux has been overtaken by companies to the point that an individual will find it exceeding difficult to get their code commited (and as a result, maybe a lot of the code written under opensource licenses is handled by companies), that doesn't account for a majority of the opensource projects.
...

now that's some fud. if you have anything worthwhile to contribute to the kernel, you'll don't have to be part of some mega conglomerate to get it in, where did you get that idea? it's just that more companies sees value in contributing, so naturally the percentage of paid contributions has gone considerately up - but that shouldn't keep you from sending in your patches for your makeshift iio sensor measuring typing noise levels or whatever

commits from persons not tied to any company still represents a huge part of every kernel release

I'm all for messing with people but when it comes to kids, people get real defensive, no matter how benign the joke might be. So don't do it.

no idea but since its on year 4 now, they either started before high school (3 years) or they all took a year over at the same time which seems unlikely. maybe the invites started in 9th grade and all went on to go to the same high school?? if so i probably wont get them after the summer

it’d be hilarious but you’re probably better off just letting it lie. maybe redirect them to the right person if you can determine who that could be.

im not gonna, but it would be super weird for a group of danish kids to all take 4 years in the same danish high school class together. im not sure thats even logicstically possible. at best theyre sharing notes between classes but even that assumes they get the same assignments.
