So why not make that the way the instructions tell you to do it?

Because as other commenters have said, anyone interested in doing that will do it anyways.

But isn't that the behavior we want to encourage everyone to have? Most people will do the default: if the default is wrong, they don't care. If the default is right, they still don't care, but at least they're doing it right.

It's be great to have a polished product like this but for programming sessions in a text editor like Sublime.

Just curious, what benefit would this have over something like git? Just to show your programming process?

Looking at a git diff is one thing, but seeing the commit as it was coded would introduce the dimension of time; giving you better context for how everything came together.

Add some interactive controls for slow-mo/fast-forward or scrubbing forward/back and you would have a powerful tool for learning & review.

What's wrong with that? It is SSL secured. Once you agree to install software, it had local access with your accounts privileges.

piping random shit into sh is wrong because domains go away, yet installation instructions might be repeated in countless other tutorials. easy to snap up domains and host malware. and SSL has nothing to do with it. packages are not cryptographically signed either and once on the system can easily become root.

Eh? Both debs and rpms can be signed with GPG keys.

Looks like your link was somehow submitted with a null title: your thread appears broken to me. :)
