What's with the defuckening?

I'll take code with swear words over closed code with corporate babble anytime.

I'd like to see this in a stacked graph.

I wanna see the mailing list

Most uses of 'retard' are in variable names like B43legacy_OFDMTAB_ADVRETARD but we also have

The switch is so retarded that it makes our command/entry abstraction crumble apart.

and

we shouldn't need asm for this, but gcc is being retarded

If I am reading this correctly the Linux kernel needs to give more fucks…

I added banana (for scale) and it's on the up and up: https://www.vidarholen.net/contents/wordcount/#fuck*,shit*,crap*,bastard,penguin,banana

That sharp drop of fucks is when Torvalds took some time off to work on his anger issues

Never understood why 'damn' is a swear word. Is it a religious thing?

For comparison, "amazing" occurs six times.

Critical Raster Angle Protrusion

Now do in GTA V source code

When there's an organic-looking decline that seems like a good sign, but the sudden sharp drops seem likely a sign of "corporate oversight" and not an actual improvement.

TIL “damn” is an insult.

I thought it was just an intensifier.

Coding is a very... emotional activity. We get a bit salty sometimes.

I remember commenting a particularly bad routine with "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate".

There are also phrases such as "by the process of offending god, this somehow outputs..." and "This block was written by someone whose sanity was not so much questionable as it was entirely reprehensible - but it works".

I also remember doing a search and replace of every instance of the word "fuck" with "[fornicate]" when bringing someone new onto a project.

Only one of them barely reaching 200. For the size of the Linux kernel I find these numbers surprisingly low.

I would have expected the comments to be pretty dry and to the point. Thos eare some interesting stats. 🤣

So it's still crap, but it has progressively fucked less over time

"Crap" is a swear word? Even my fundamentalist Christian, church 3x a week and weekly bible study groups father says "crap."

What about "bastard" and "penguin"?

when has idiot been a swear word?
