  Welcome to HN.
• cpach 2y ago
  AFAICT there where (at least) two recent events where Torvalds had a chat with Hohndel. I) KubeCon and Open Source Summit China (Hong Kong, 2024-08-23) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41355731 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41355731 – posted to HN on 2024-08-26, 123 comments. II) Open Source Summit Europe (Vienna, 2024-09-16) I.e. this post. This talk was also referred in an article from The Register, and that was posted on HN about 23 hours ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41593275 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41593275 (11 comments) It also looks like the current post (i.e. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41559404 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41559404) was originally submitted four days ago, and then reached the front page today via HN’s second-chance pool[0]. (This talk from Open Source Summit Europe has been submitted a bunch of times, but some of the submissions yielded very few comments.) [0] See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308 for more info about the second-chance pool.

    Thank you for your reply. I had suspected it was the second chance pool but I had never seen that mechanism in action so I thought it'd get re-posted, not that it would appear as if it had just been posted. I had read it when it first appeared.

      Yeah that part of the second-chance pool is a bit confusing, it has tripped me up a few times as well. Pro-tip: If you look below the submission title you will see a text saying “3 days ago” or similar. Hover with the cursor over that text, and you will see the original publication timestamp. (Or use view source in your browser.)
