Of course and it will not be the same;

For the ccc conference rc3, linus said something in direction of 'lets not do that again'.

At least for me, i go to Fosdem for all the talks of course but also to see people, dring belgien beer, eat, freeze, have wet shoes and enjoy the sun on the second day for 1-2 hours.

even on old infrastructure its already apt and nothing else anymore. So they advanced.

No, it's really not. apt-get works just fine on my current Ubuntu instances.

I have the same issue and for me there is a simple difference:

I probably use homebrew for a handfull of tools, in debian etc. my packagetmanager manages everything.

Its not a huge issue but the thought of 'ah shit i need to run update' comes with 'that will be slow'

Weird idea.

Either i don't get it or i'm wasting my time doing code review for years now with a surprisingly positive effect which shouldn't be as 'reasoning about code is scam'?

I also reason about code to determine the best language due to features, community size, potential workforce etc.

> to determine the best language due to features

This. The choice of language should be driven by the 'business' domains/areas you need to cover. Do you need it to be scalable? Do you need security? What type of security do you need? It is the requirements that drive the design, not the other way around. And choice of language is not the requirement.

First you decide 'blue' and 'which blue' then you decide the brand of paint. Not the other way around.

The funny thing is, that when you realise that they just lay it down on the sea floor and you start to think through all the potential issues with throwing a very thick special cable on the ocean, you will realize that it already just works as it is for a while.

I don't get it.

Whats the issue?

Check the second link.

On another note - the third link captures the back button and doesn’t let you get back to hacker news (at least on mobile). What a shitty site.

Here's a trick from the old days (works in all my mobile browsers[1]):

long click the back button, a popup will show your navigation history and you can click the last link before entering the broken site.

That said, the behavior is absolutely unacceptable.

[1]: And in Firefox desktop you can also do this but I can't remember if it is long-click or right click.

Yeah...remember when SlashDot was Hacker News?

How the great have fallen...
