I used Jekyll in a small organisation and it meant everyone needed a working Ruby environment This caused much pain across platforms. Hugo ships a single binary for multiple platforms so setup is far simpler. It is also amazingly fast and there have been major performance improvements in 0.17 too (https://gohugo.io/meta/release-notes/).
Good luck but I'm not really sure how this product is differentiating from other bundled voip and messaging products other than better UX/UI.
Where is the revenue model and where are the open APIs into the service? Messaging is becoming really saturated now. User experience might get you some of the way there but interoperability with things outside your walled garden is also important for success IMHO.
Pretty much. i keep seeing curl being used as the "back end" of web browsers, fueling the likes of webkit.
Wget on the other hand end up within shell scripts and similar (i have before me a distro where the package manager is made of shell scripts, core utils and wget).
It's not "we need to keep compile time down to seconds, therefore configure in the source"; it's "compile time is seconds (if that), so there's not much difference between configuring in the source and configuring in a file except complexity". One part of the motivation for the best practice you cite is that compiling can be complicated and take a long time, and configuration changes should be quick. This is a solid argument against that portion of the motivation. Following practices because they are known as best practices when the motivations for those practices don't apply has another name - cargo culting.
Edited to add: Which is not to say that this best practice should be simply discarded, but to say that the appropriate response is to point to the other motivations for it and determine whether they are more important than the upsides of configuring in the source.
> Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it’s pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions. There are some distributions that provide binary packages though.
I think I explicitly stated that I was not covering the whole story. The above would be another consideration - with both pros and cons (of which suckless, of course, stresses the pros) - which should be factored in. There are others as well.
Some more information on the legal action here [1]
The action makes repeated reference to the European Convention of Human Rights, and UK lawyers have already questioned [2] the legality of revelations around GCHQ's activities in relation to ECHR.
The current legislation [3] covering GCHQ's activities is from 1994.
