My uni course on optimization was so much fun but I forgot all of it. This was a nice reminder that I should probably revisit the basics :)

I love this website. I wish I could search it in Spanish. I grew up watching the Simpsons in Spanish and I sometimes struggle to find the right clip because I don't know the exact translation

I worked for AWS for two years and if I recall correctly, one of the issues was circular dependencies.

I guess his comment is acceptable because this is OSS and it's not like he can get fired over it.

In a past employer I've left a PR comment with a much less aggressive tone, and the PR author messaged me saying "your message is unprofessional". Granted, it wasn't my best moment, I had snapped. But if I wrote something like what Linus wrote, i'd be insta-fired.
