Why? It's horrendously slow thanks to the wrong language choice and also required a rewrite (bedrock).

These are the "famous" failed projects. All of them lost most of their user base or required a rewrite or lost to a faster competitor.

That's quite uncommon. Typically your distribution checks that the downloaded source/binary has the correct checksum and an experienced maintainer checked the (sandboxed) installation. Here someone puts an arbitrary script online

The opposite is true: there are a lot of projects that failed because of the chosen language.

> If they chose Zig or Rust, I'd want to hear why that was a better choice than using a gc'd language. Come on, they advertise with benchmarks hence it's quite obvious why they didn't chose a gc'd language.

Bold statement just one month after the last cache poisoning vulnerability. Bind is the Microsoft Windows of DNS servers - a lot of users and bugs nonetheless the go-to for many admins because that's what they are most familiar with. A

> I guess wikipedia doesn't agree with you: Are you kidding? Bind has been the de facto standard for DNS servers for ages but it's just a badly engineered piece of software and had braindead vulnerabilities for decades: https:

> why don't they just use bind9? Because bind9 is not a dns server but a collection of all available CVE types for further studying.

Don't get too exited - Technitium has a bus factor of one, a very small user base and no previous auditing.

> fresh food is absurdly better vs say 1930-1995 or so Not sure where you grew up. The variety reg. vegetables/fruits is larger (e.g. pomelos weren't a thing in my childhood) and the availability across the year is much better

That's a bit too naive considering how bad food became during the last decade. Formerly perfectly fine products now have artificial ingredients to increase profits.

I had to use it ~2 years for work and am glad that I am back to Linux. The amount of instabilities, bugs, lack of features or removed(!) features between updates, missing software packages, horrible user experience... was just astonishing.

Unfortunately, they use Busybox under the hood with its plethora of unfixed bugs and security issues and a bug tracker that is almost always down. I cannot trust this project anymore and stopped using systems based on it.

As if adblockers/browser extensions wouldn't deal with those (minus the tracking)...

The out-of-context quotes by Tony Hoare are at least questionable.

No, just Linux or inside Docker (on Linux).

The not optimising, that's making it insecure and bloated.

"use opam" is always the answer but in reality its the worst package manager ever. I've never seen so many packages fail to install, so many broken dependencies and miscompilations that resulted in segfaults due to wrong depe

Question as a parent: kids do need constant snacking now? I know some kids who do but they are overweight.
