> that I can't find in my own work But you're not the spokesperson for Guix, are you? A quick search of GUIX mailing lists turned up this thread from 2017. From [Chris Marusich]( https://narkive.com/BnGNBXUh.7 ):

Guix is cool, and I like Lisps, but it has very different goals, unfortunately. Culturally, it's quite hostile to any implementation on non-Linux platforms, and I use nix-darwin. I agree the ideas behind nix should spread to how we bui

Doesn't that get the timeline backwards? I thought the RFC was opened in response to inaction on the part of switching to Meson, which had been informally agreed-on.

No, that is literally what one of the two major studies mentioned, the National Crime Victimization Survey, gets around with its methodology. They survey a quarter million Americans every year, and don't rely on what gets reported to t

That's really more of a "won't", than a "can't". Sure, it would be impure, and not top-to-bottom reproducible, and you don't personally have to do it. But it's a choice to avoid a compromise, not

Err, yes, but it's meant to contrast to the previous part, where he has a single sentence about figuring out right from wrong. Given his well-documented harassment of women over the decades, it's sadly ironic that he spends 6+ par

Wow, is #3 disingenuous. "Use of social media to target individuals" sounds like some internet personality doxxed you, or sicced their followers on you. But it looks like... someone linked your own public comments from a Nix Dis

If experts were the problem, then it would be statistically obvious that people were worse after meeting experts or taking their advice, and better off before. But, that gets the order reversed. People seek mental health treatment after t
