Linus 真心誠意地誇過哪些人或技術？

12-30

眾所周知Linus是技術大神,但同時也非常善噴,在業內已經有過無數經典故事,包括對C++的批評,朝NVidia豎中指等等,特別是最近又爆出了幾個內核開發社區的人員被逼走的新聞.但是Linus難道只會噴,而沒有誇獎過任何CS領域的技術人員或者技術嗎?
對這一點非常好奇,畢竟見多了Linus大神噴的新聞,似乎就還沒見過大神誇別人呢..另外此處噴是中性,感覺此詞生動形象..

Linus Torvalds: Windows 7 Rocks!

照片的出處是在東京的某次AMD主辦的會議上，剛好MS在日本推win7於是到處設了這樣的販售亭，Linus看到了就沒忍住拍了一張(一定是MS的陰謀……)，所以你覺得這是Linus在開玩笑也好，認真誇也好，黑也好(反正Linus黑MS也不是一天兩天了)，圖看得開心就好，本意只是抖個機靈。

一覺醒來破百贊，受寵若驚，我就只是找了個圖，很慚愧，就做了一點微不足道的小事，謝謝大家。

我不是針對誰，果然我什麼都不說，這是最好的……我啥也沒解讀，對吧。

Whee. Just installed a new monitor.

3840x2160 resolution - it"s the Dell 28" UHD panel - for $299 thanks to Microsoft"s black Friday deal. Thanks MS!

Ok, I have to admit that it"s not actually a great panel: very clear color shifts off-center, 30Hz refresh etc. But still - I"m a nut for resolution, and at $299 I decided that this will carry me over until better panels start showing up at good prices.

2014年的黑色星期五，當值美帝的雙十一期間，linus大神在Micro$oft的在線商城裡購買了一台傻多戴的28吋顯示器，之後在G+發文感謝了m$全家

不用說當然是誇 C 啦：

It has nothing to do with dinosaurs. Good taste doesn"t go out of style (2007)

Christ, people. Learn C, instead of just stringing random characters together until it compiles (with warnings). (2015)

Linus在其自傳中提到第一次做talk作為一個羞射小男生十分緊張，並嚴重感謝了PowerPoint能讓他輕鬆完成演講。至於為什麼我已經忘了。。不像是調侃。

BitKeeper

but at the same time I would use the best tool for the job, and quite frankly BitKeeper was it.

在git誕生之前，Linus用BitKeeper來管理代碼。

這樣誇過 kvm:

In case people want to look at this on their own, get a git tree, and run
the examples I asked Jeremy to run:
git log --pretty=oneline --full-diff --stat arch/x86/kvm/ |
grep -v "/kvm" |
less -S
and then go ahead and do the same except with "xen" instead of "kvm".

Now, once you"ve done that, ask yourself which one is going to be merged
easily and without any pushback.
Btw, this is NOT meant to be a "xen vs kvm" thing. Before you react to the
"kvm" part, replace "arch/x86/kvm" above with "drivers/scsi" or something.
The point? Xen really is horribly badly separated out. It gets way more
incestuous with other systems than it should. It"s entirely possible that
this is very fundamental to both paravirtualization and to hypervisor

behavior, but it doesn"t matter - it just means that I can well see that
Xen is a f*cking pain to merge.
So please, Xen people, look at your track record, and look at the issues
from the standpoint of somebody merging your code, rather than just from
the standpoint of somebody who whines "I want my code to be merged".
IOW, if you have trouble getting your code merged, ask yourself what _you_
are doing wrong.

Xen (Linus Torvalds)

For example, I personally believe that Visual Basic did more for programming than Object-Oriented Languages did. Yet people laugh at VB and say it"s a bad language, and they"ve been talking about OO languages for decades.
And no, Visual Basic wasn"t a great language, but I think the easy database interfaces in VB were fundamentally more important than object orientation is, for example.

「Linux的締造者LinusTorvalds最近接受了美國「計算機世界」的採訪。他提到，儘管WindowsVista的發布讓微軟遭受了巨大打擊，不過Windows7的發布有可能帶來微軟操作系統的一次重生。他說，Windows7強於Vista，人們將其與Vista比較時，將感受到巨大的進步，這樣「天使就可以再次歌唱」。這一情景與Windows95劃時代的取代Windows3.1如出一轍。

　　Torvalds甚至認為，這有可能是微軟為造成心理落差而故意採取的舉動。」

以上為轉載，不知道原文出自哪。

只是因為vista太爛而已。而且惡搞的成分居多。

一張照片能解讀出Linus誠心誇win7的答案居然被頂得那麼高。其他認真回答的反而在下面。最後，Can you see the devilish smile on his face ?

不過Linus對win7的態度挺好的(相對來說)，我只是覺得用那張圖不太切題。至於怎麼解讀，反正Linus性格就是那樣，玩一玩而已，我覺得也算不上嘲諷，所以沒必要太當真啦。

(?? . ??)回答一下題目(基本引用自Stiff對Linus的採訪)：

1.FPGA

「唔，我真的很喜歡 FPGA 的，就是一直沒有時間坐下來好好地學。我喜歡直接和硬體對話的感覺：這說明我為什麼最後選擇了做 OS，因為那樣(和編譯器呆在一起)和硬體的距離最近，就差你不能親自去設計和製造它了。」

2.micro-emacs

Linus自己用的就是這個。(Emacs大法好，然而我還是Vim黨)

3.「呃。我最近喜歡讀幻想小說，或非電腦類的書(舊書一本： Richard Dawkins 的「The Selfish Gene」)

說到編程方面，躍然腦海的唯一真正編程書就是 Kernighan 和 Ritchie 經典的 "The C Programming Language"，因為它實在是太有用了，而且又薄又耐讀。想想你基本能從這本書中學會我們這個時代最重要的編程語言之一，而它又是那麼薄那麼耐讀，這不能不說是一個奇蹟。

還有很多我喜愛的書是跟編程本身無關的，而是關於計算機結構和硬體方面的。這裡面當然有 Patterson 和 Hennessy 關於計算機結構的書，對我個人而言可能還應該包括 Crawford 和 Gelsinger 的 "Programming the 80386"，它是我剛開始 Linux 時的工具書。

基於相同的原因，我還喜歡 Andrew Tanenbaum 的 "Operating Systems： Design and Implementation"。」

上面的答案大部分是從其它文章搜集來的，但是我忘記來源了…如果原作者不希望被轉載或者需要註明鏈接請聯繫我，謝謝！

面對全世界，linus真心實意地誇讚了一下nVidia公司及其產品，他是這樣說的：Fuck nVidia，並面對鏡頭豎起中指，用行動表示對英偉達由衷的讚許
