AFAICT there where (at least) two recent events where Torvalds had a chat with Hohndel.

I) KubeCon and Open Source Summit China (Hong Kong, 2024-08-23)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41355731 – posted to HN on 2024-08-26, 123 comments.

II) Open Source Summit Europe (Vienna, 2024-09-16)

I.e. this post. This talk was also referred in an article from The Register, and that was posted on HN about 23 hours ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41593275 (11 comments)

It also looks like the current post (i.e. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41559404) was originally submitted four days ago, and then reached the front page today via HN’s second-chance pool[0].

(This talk from Open Source Summit Europe has been submitted a bunch of times, but some of the submissions yielded very few comments.)

[0] See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308 for more info about the second-chance pool.

Thank you for your reply. I had suspected it was the second chance pool but I had never seen that mechanism in action so I thought it'd get re-posted, not that it would appear as if it had just been posted. I had read it when it first appeared.

Yeah that part of the second-chance pool is a bit confusing, it has tripped me up a few times as well.

Pro-tip: If you look below the submission title you will see a text saying “3 days ago” or similar. Hover with the cursor over that text, and you will see the original publication timestamp. (Or use view source in your browser.)

Thanks for the tip!
