![]() ![]() Everything is configured exactly the way I like, and it will never change unless I change it. ![]() I am resigned to the fact that if I care about a particular piece of software because it's the reason I use a computer (go, Emacs, Node, etc.) then I just have to maintain it myself. I blew up my Ubuntu install and switched back to Debian. How is loading some bytes into RAM and telling the CPU to start executing instructions something that can take more than a few microseconds!? Easy: run that app with Snap! ![]() My RAM can do 3400M transactions per second. My disk can read 500,000 4k blocks per second. I've complained about this on HN before, but it can be hundreds of milliseconds from when you type a command to when the actual application starts running - the intermediate time is being consumed by Snap doing god knows what. Wonderful! But the problem is: it's the slowest thing in the world. I could get some bleeding-edge dependencies automatically delivered to my machine, without building it from source or having to manually update it. Snap was neat when I first discovered it.
