> I honestly say the films from Tarr are arguably the best book-to-film adaptations ever, especially Sátántangó, he is the master of literary filmmaking where the spirit of text comes across the screen perfectly.
If that is so, then these are books that you read to experience ultimate ennui?
I know the films, I've watched them all, but doing e.g. Satantango in book form sounds not so enticing?
Someone installed the dashboard for us before the RBAC stuff was added. The fun started when we realized that the old ClusterRoleBinding needed to be deleted manually.
Clicking SKIP hence gave full access until we did.
It's nice when things are idempotent, but removing stray things that should go absent is usually overlooked.
Well, I added backstory, which extended two years before this unnecessary public outrage event. People were asking questions about where the code went. I explained there was no clear single commit and how to find where it was removed.
And then I overstepped and deduced that this may be assumed to be intentional, condering the backstory.
You might say that was inappropriate and I was banned with justification. But I’m a human too and this lack of proper communication frustrates me to no end. If the developer in question can be said to have a breaking point, I have one too.
None of this would have happened if the involved parties had a better standard of communication and of handling matters.
Olav, there were eight bugs filed and no explanation. I came back to the bugs irregularly to see wether there was anything new in terms of explanation.
Then this trainwreck happened and people were asking questions.
So I thought it worthwhile to add what I knew. I don’t think I disclosed anything personal. It was strictly technical matters relevant to the bug at hand.
So why did you ban me with a false accusation?
If anything the "removing type-ahead search from nautilus" bug should’ve taught the lesson that an information campaign works better than outright censorship.
When that bug got attention Jon McCann came in, explained, and then made a full blog post[1] to expound the directions they were taking. I still didn’t like it but I was satisfied with the explanation.
Stop digging in and realize that just slightly amending your policies and interactions with users would fix everything.
I just looked at the bug again and it’s been sanitized. I commented 2 or 3 times in the linked bug to add backstory. Those comments are gone now. The attachment I added is still there.
Funny story, they banned me now because they think I submitted this HN story. I didn’t, I came here way later.
Makes you think, doesn’t it? (The warnings refer to another bug a few months ago, where I tried to make another developer explain his removals, and good discussion and a full blog post resulted. All in all a good result. But still they said I was out of line because I named names)
You have to use an advanced search to find NOTABUG, WONTFIX, and DUPLICATE and similar bugs. Otherwise you turn up empty.
There’s even more discussion in the other bugs. For some reason they didn’t dup all those bugs consistently. Maybe that would’ve lead to a criticla mass. But who knows why not.
There’s no gnome-terminal mailing list. Since "bike shedding" is struck down with regularity on the bug tracker I wrote the guy directly before he made the commits.
I asked why he wants to remove the feature. He said it’s loosely connected to other features that are buggy and he doesn’t see the point of the feature anyhow. Whether I had a justification for the feature to stay.
I replied and gave him two good reasons, one of personal merit, one of technical merit.
Then nothing else.
Then I discovered that it indeed had been removed, while I was following git snapshots. So I checked the NEWS and Changelog, ReleaseNotes and git. No mention. Could’ve been temporary or unintentional.
So I wrote the guy again to ask what’s up. No reply. Then he replied with a non-answer only pointing to a FAQ entry he made the same day with a distracting workaround.
So I checked out git locally to see where the code went.
It turned out among unrelated commits where the code was #if 0’ed out only to be removed a few commits later with "delete dead code" etc.
So I wrote him again to ask why he did this. No reply.
So I downgraded to the known-good old version and waited for release time. Same story repeats with other people. Apparently nothing personal because of my tone.
So. Conspiracy or justified puzzlement about this behaviour?
If that is so, then these are books that you read to experience ultimate ennui?
