Many of the same advantages hold for any other language's frameworks, with the added benefit of using any other language.

Perl is valid if you know it and want to use it. Otherwise, not really.

There is a port of mechanize to Python as well, if that is your main reason to use Perl.

Whatever you can do in "disgusting hacks" can be done just as quickly in a way which won't make you want to vomit when you look over the code again later.

I would really like to hear from more people who use Circus in production. It seems interesting.

I have never had the slightest indication that anyone actually looked at my Github account listed at the top of the resume, let alone that this ever helped me get any job I've had. So I'm inclined to treat this as an urban legend.

Happens all the time, e.g. with postings for positions that are really intended to be filled internally, or with perpetual postings which do nothing but solicit people to go into a resume pool when there is no specific job.

It wouldn't be funny because it's not even surprising for job searchers to be jerked around, just normal

Assuming that Minix adopted a reasonable license and fixed outstanding issues that make Linux currently better, I'm asking you to tell me what's wrong with that. We have a de facto monoculture of Windows on the PC right now and I don't think that's better.

So much the worse for using Android. It's past time that we have proper Linux on phones without interposing all the Google-Java stuff.

They have openly discussed their intention to build an X-compatible layer on top of Wayland for remote windows for years, it is really sad that FUD has prevailed about how they want to take our remote windows away.

A Linux monoculture is never going to happen. But what would actually be wrong with it?

I think success is mentioned because of all the people who have begun to enter the industry just to cash in somehow.

They didn't get rich programming, not at all. They got rich owning successful companies. The fact that they did some of the programming for some MVP or other is almost incidental. They were not getting paid huge salaries for cranking out code and they certainly weren't the only ones involved. If you can pay someone to do the same kind of work on an MVP and then you win the same kind of lottery, it is not necessary for you to have any direct programming input.

What happens to the X windows forwarded over ssh when the connection drops? Can you reattach afterwards?

They were the major ones touting Wayland for a while, it seems unlikely that they "haven't investigated".

Nothing has actually happened yet.
