Schwarz-Gelb gewinnt Bundestagswahl 2009




Einen herzlichen Glückwunsch Frau Dr. Merkel! Auf dass die kommenden vier Jahre reibungsloser verlaufen werden als die letzten und Deutschland gestärkt aus der Krise wieder auf die Beine kommt.

Ebenfalls glücklich ist die CDU Mecklenburg-Vorpommern über die Erringung von gleich sechs Direktmandaten. Nur Rostock ging an die Linkspartei. Gegenüber 2005 ist das eine Verdoppelung und war auch in den Prognosen nicht absehbar!

Selbst in Freiburg kann man mit dem erreichten Ergebnis zufrieden sein. Der Wahlkreis ging zwar, wie erwartet, an den bekannten SPD-Außenpolitiker Gernot Erler. Doch lagen nur 4,2 Prozentpunkte zwischen Erler und dem CDU-Kandidaten Daniel Sander. Und dass mit dramatischen Verlusten für die SPD.

When Compiler Engineers Act As Judges, What Can Possibly Go Wrong? How LLVM's CoC Committee Violated Its Own Code

Open source thrives on collaboration. Users report bugs, developers investigate, and together, the software ecosystem improves. However, the interactions are not always trouble free. Central to this ecosystem are Codes of Conduct (CoCs), designed to ensure respectful interactions and provide a mechanism for addressing behavior that undermines collaboration. These CoCs and their enforcement are often a hotly disputed topic. Rightfully so! What happens when the CoC process itself appears to fail, seemingly protecting established contributors while penalizing those who report issues? As both a law professional with a rich experience in academia and practice as a legal expert who also contributes to various open source software projects over the past couple of years, I deeply care about what the open source community can learn from the law and its professional interpreters. This story hopefully ignites the urge to come up with better procedures that improve the quality of conflict res...

Open Source Contributions in the Age of AI - A personal story that ended with Trial by Fire in the Digital Town Square

To find yourself at the epicenter of a viral internet debate is a disorienting experience. In the span of a few days, I went from being a passionate observer and bug reporter of the open-source world to the unwitting catalyst for a firestorm that raged across developer forums, social media, and project mailing lists. My name, or at least my handle, ms178, became synonymous with a complex and contentious question facing the entire software development community. The debate that erupted within the Mesa project was about more than just a few lines of AI-generated code; it became a crucible for testing the very social contract of open source, a proxy war over the role of artificial intelligence, and a stark illustration of the immense, often invisible, pressures placed upon the project maintainers who form the backbone of our digital infrastructure. As the author of the " Request for Comments " (RFC) that ignited this conflagration, I feel a responsibility not to simply defend my...

Linux Gaming Tweaks - A small guide to unlock more performance (1)

My personal journey to unlock more performance on Linux - Part 1: Introduction This is the start of a new series dedicated to the Linux Gaming community. This is a bit of an oddball in my blog as most of my other blog posts are written for a German audience and cover my other two passions: politics and the law. Nonetheless, PC gaming is a hobby for me since I was six years old, playing games on a Schneider 386 SX. Wow, times ran fast. As I've learned quite a lot about Linux during the last couple of years, switching between several distributions, learning about compilers and optimizing parts of a Linux distribution for a greater gaming experience, I was asked recently on the Phoronix Forums to share some of my findings publicly, and I am very glad to do so with a global audience. But keep in mind, I am neither a software nor a hardware engineer - I am a law professional who is passionate about computers. I digged deep into the documentation and compiled a lot of code, breaking my s...
