@SwiftOnSecurity I was once on a team that got lectured for an hour by the ERP software manager because we complained that the usability of the new application they wanted us to use was so bad as to be offensive, they seemed to think we were being childish and immature.

@tef_ebooks It was astonishing how much better the maths education in the physics bits of my degree was than that done by the maths department. Which is saying something given how good the physics side generally was.

@LuxAlptraum This is also great in international companies since it tends to help national holidays show up in people’s calendars and avoid surprises when working across cultures that way.

@pharmst @OreInNicaragua @davidgerard You can, though the colour curves for colour negatives are a pain and I’m not aware of any free software for that (I use Negative Lab Pro, that’s a whole thing though).

@never_released @haerwu Eh, it’s as stable as the people using a given platform want it to be. There’s nothing inherent in the format, it’s driven by what the users of the various platforms want.

@delroth_ @mhilbrunner @marcan42 A lot of the time the people doing nitpicking are not the overloaded reviewers - the overloaded reviewers typically just don't review. There's a bunch of poeple who like to review on coding details who often don't cover the big picture stuff so much.

@Ocramius @marcan42 The problem with this sort of stuff is the feedback rather than the tool used to give it - you get the same pattern on PR based things with lots of subthreads with specific comments on different bits of the code.

[Mark Brown @broonie]

@marcan42 Hey, at least people are responding to your patches! 🤷‍♂️

@DRMacIver Extra stiff penalties for interrupting the hold music with voice announcements.

@_qyousef @kernellogger @tehcaster @vegard_no @gregkh Some developers do but not all, and it’s still a worry.

The test coverage thing is partly a trade off with being careful about what’s picked - the less careful we are about backports the more we rely on testing to fill gaps.

[Mark Brown @broonie]

@_qyousef @kernellogger @tehcaster @vegard_no @gregkh From my POV some of the stuff that I'm bouncing is sufficiently concerning that my confidence is undermined and seeing the wall of AUTOSEL to review is a bit stressful. It is selecting a lot of good stuff but I don't trust it.

[Mark Brown @broonie]

@_qyousef @kernellogger @tehcaster @vegard_no @gregkh I'm not sure how much review things are getting, and I know that for my subsystems I'm unconvinced by the test coverage - I'm only replying to the worst of the patches and do still see failures cropping up after things are released.

@martinezjavier @kernellogger @tehcaster @vegard_no When I’ve had things get picked even after nacking it’s been a person deciding to pick them separately to AUTOSEL.

[Mark Brown @broonie]

@kernellogger @tehcaster @vegard_no Part of the issue is stuff getting picked up you’d never have expected to be considered for backporting in the first place so you’d end up adding the tag everywhere at which point it’s equivalent to just saying never backport.

[Mark Brown @broonie]

@kernellogger @martinezjavier @tehcaster @vegard_no But then the algorithm is so greedy that it makes Ccing seem like a waste of time - I stopped bothering because so much stuff I’d never take is going in that it doesn’t seem worth being selective

@yacobg42 There’s some great art museums, and some excellent hiking that’s easily reachable from the center (plus Namsan right in the middle of the city near Mapo-gu).

@colinianking TinyALSA is an extremely thin wrapper around them.
