A term which in no way also applies to apps, that have vastly more ability to spy on you, and DMCA protections against interop and modification. /s At least the spying is efficient, I guess.

People who violate the social contract to treat everyone decently aren't entitled to its protections. Duh.

I don't think they examined true randomness, but they did look at inter-astrologer consistency, and that was also no better than chance, which strongly suggests their answers were uniformly distributed (rather than being wrong, but eve

Damn you, Raygun! /s Though tbf, I'm not sure any competition with an artistic element belongs in the Olympics. I would ditch stuff like figure skating and synchronized swimming. Gymnastics can stay, but I'd prefer it be more

We're going around in circles now. I believe the Guix equivalent to something like nix-darwin would still be sufficiently guix-like (like a new language impl) to be worthwhile. You believe it wouldn't be guix, and iiuc, nothing sh

It's great...except for all the standards it doesn't implement. Probably because they can't collect 30% from every web site.

We don't have a shared understanding of something , because I don't know what you're referring to by "identity" there. (If you're referring to "identity of who we're talking to", I can link you

The number of people in the comments blaming homelessness solely on homeless people is embarrassing. Sure, mental health, the economy, drug use, and housing costs have no effect, apparently.

Fun fact: the creators of Max Headroom were the creators behind the original 1993 Super Mario Bros movie with Dennis Hopper, Bob Hoskins, and John Leguizamo. The making of that film is a bit crazy. Part of the issue was, Disney bought the d

The challenges are more political than technological. They prefer not to compromise their choice to use only Free Software, which is their right, of course. However, I've run into a GUIX person or two who frame it as a technical issu

I mean, sorta , but Lisp macro writers learn early on that macros are also functions, it's just they operate on a list of symbols, and are called in a different phase. So saying "it can't be a function" doesn't rin

Why don't we standardize on kilosecs and megasecs!?

No. It's only free as in beer. There's some weird mention about the Apache 2 license, but it only applies to the binaries , for some odd reason.

We had a similar experience with devenv. It didn't really prevent us from needing to learn nix, and then we had two things to deal with instead of one. We eventually switched back to just nix.

I would say it's about the same. jj adds some concepts, like change/revisions and revsets, but it also has lower cognitive load than git on things like branches, the index, and the CLI. The ease of undoing anything alone makes i

I mean none of the options are great, imo. - "commit" is overloaded with git, and jj still uses commits for other things under the hood. - "patch id" is overloaded with patch files, and jj still uses git's snapshots
