Comment on: Linus Torvalds is tired indeed of "trivially obvious improvements" that are actually buggy

Most Linux application I have seen appear to be designed by nerds for the nerds.

Because that's exactly how they start out a lot of the time. Someone needs some tool for something, thinks "hey people might like this," and posts the source on GitHub or something.

So far when I see forks being created is because they add new features and do not fix bugs that were in the old fork itself.

I might be wrong about this, but wouldn't that be because they rely on the "upstream" project to be fixing the bugs and then just porting those fixes to the fork?

Really? Do you have any links/sources/etc.? Not saying that I doubt it per se, I just really wanna see if that's true.

Tox works at least somewhat well, but the clients for it are iffy.

But at some point, someone'll come up with a way to escape Docker, and start abusing the main system(s).

Comment on: The code in your banner is triggering me 
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
    cout << "Hello World" << endl;
    return 0;
}

There, fixed it for you.

Also, on a related note, using namespace std; is considered bad practice. Note: I'm not a major C++ person, just thought that it was relevant
