Copies are just very strong statistical correlations.

I have been an Arch user for years now and anytime I touch a debian based distro it is such a headache: weird patched packages that don’t compile anything past or present, insta dependency hell with PPAs, package names of 200 characters because apt doesn’t have a good way to represent metadata… It made me a strong believer that trying to fight the bit rot and stick to the old stuff is counterproductive: a consistent head based development with a good community fixing bugs super quickly results in less hours of work fighting the paleolithic era dependencies, safer (as security fixes are faster to get in, packages are foreign to hackers and constantly changing etc), easier to find documentation as you don’t need to dig into history to find which option existed or not, recent stuff is also easier to support for the developers of the various packages as it is fresh in their minds. Another point is to look at it from a tech debt lens: either you fix your stuff to work with current deps now or you just accumulate tech debt for the next engineer to fix in a way larger and combining a mountain of breakages in the future that of course IT and SREs will never want to do until the 15y old software is a disaster of security issues…

Literally every product. People feel so much safer after that :)
Neovim (nvchad) with copilot to write Rust. Why? The terminal environment is super flexible: I have 2 desktops and a laptop running on Arch Linux, all the same dotfiles with tmux to keep my sessions alive.
It all depends on your application domain: I mainly build embedded Linux code for a transportation drone.
Oh you lost a screw … Let me see … That will be $3k for the screw but we do have a cool new iPhone too you know!
Passed away: This has been used in plain English since the 14th century. This is also a respectful way to say that they passed away to another realm (to whatever people believe in).
Oh ok! Thank you so much!!
I am almost too afraid to ask … Where do you see those stats? Thank you
Fun to think that someday if USB C finishes to eradicate HDMI/DP they might become the sign that it is retro… Look at that! They had a dedicated plug for the video signal back then :)
Was about to say this one, it is very good!
