A Tale of Two Libcs

I actually loved it. I found it very entertaining.

Tangent: surprises me how often comment people lose their shit when you utter the slightest word of criticism about some pet {language,code, tech}, but are absolutely fine, supportive and enabling when someone verbally eviscerates the living shit out of another human based on what they said, or their opinion.

How is attacking a non human idea and no one in particular bad, but attacking a specific person viciously ok? I don't get that and I never did.

Didn't a human being write the glibc implementation?

Well it's not an absolute, is it? There's context. Some specific people deserve to be attacked.

And what you're going to attack them? Really so you think that these people who go so crazy if you attack an idea are really OK to attack a person?
