Debian Upgrade Marathon: 3.1 Sarge

Debian Upgrade Marathon: 3.1 Sarge Apr. 25, 2025 [technology] Had my priorities been better aligned, I would have first begun building Linux skills sometime during the Bush (W) administration. It has left me feeling as though I should make up for that lost time. So I’ve decided to reclaim that lost experience of installing and using Debian from around the early-mid 2000s. From there, the plan is to upgrade the installation through each stable release up to present day Debian Stable. And hopefu

Why do we keep gravitating toward complexity?

news.ycombinator.com Kyrylo Silin 2025-09-30 13:02:31

The Great Pyramids took decades to build. It was a monumental feat of human ingenuity and collaboration. Today, we software developers erect our own pyramids each day - not from stone, but from code. Yet despite far more advanced tools, these systems don’t always make the experience better. So why, when KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) is a well-known mantra, do we keep gravitating toward complexity? Marketing > Simplicity Sell me this pen: ✎ What? You don’t know how?

A first version of this piece was almost ready to be published two days ago, but after writing more than 2,000 words, I grew increasingly angry and exasperated, and that made the article become too meandering and rant-like, so I deleted everything, and started afresh several hours later.

In Brief Alphabet hit just over $3 trillion dollars in market cap on Monday as investors continue to reward it after a federal judge declined to break the company up. On Sept. 2, U.S. District Court Judge Amit P. Mehta outlined softer-than-feared remedies for his year-ago ruling that Google maintained an illegal monopoly in search.
