No, I won't. Your request is unreasonable. You posted a claim that is not true. This bug has nothing to do with the Mach layer of XNU, and the blog post has enough detail to explain why. When I call you out on that, you don't get to retreat to an absurd position and ask me to substantiate it: there's probably six degrees of separation between what I ate for breakfast and these bugs shipping. This is something that is basically impossible to falsify, but also deeply uninteresting. So I am not going to entertain it for you.
You can feel however you want about it but if you were to show up in a thread about GNOME security bugs and start talking about how Linux was designed by this random guy from Finland with no real experience which is why everything is so broken that’s really where people would stop taking you seriously.
You're missing the point. You made an unsubstantiated claim, and then you demanded an argument that it's impossible for your unsubstantiated claim to be true. I agree with the reply that this is a totally unreasonable demand.
The burden of proof is on you to provide evidence for your unsubstantiated claim. The burden is not on everyone else to disprove it.
It doesn’t matter who anyone believes the burden falls on… that’s my point.
Edit: If there’s no desire to write anything, there’s no force chaining your hands to the keyboard… and even if there was, no other user is obligated to do this or that.
Huh it does sound like that in retrospect, so I edited the comment to remove the offending sentence.
At the time of writing it was meant to be a rhetorical question, since it seemed extremely unlikely for there to have been any such argument or implication in the blog post referenced.
But my point still stands, it simply doesn’t matter because HN users can’t place any kind of mandatory obligations on one another.
The underlying reasons have to actually be written out though in the first place and viewable on a screen… I’m not a telepath, nor likely is anyone else.
And after all that has been demonstrated, along with some other necessary features such as logical consistency and so on, then it’s definitely more than an opinon.
