The quality of Nix packages for Darwin is quite bad compared to Linux though, I don't think there's a core maintainer that runs Nix on Darwin.

Then they'd be breaking the RFCs stated goal. The possibility of a stated ideal not working doesn't mean you shouldn't have the ideal. Though I suspect my definition of using fascist tactics likely differs from yours in this

I agree, everyone should be walking across burning coals barefoot every day to get to work, let alone volunteer their time to an open source project.

Sounds like someone's doing credential stuffing. Apple had quite a few of those "other people can hit my rate limit" problems.

interesting jump from "trans people" to "males", almost like you are parroting some sort of narrative.

The main problem is * taking non-anonymous donations, making Nix seem like the extended arm of the military industrial complex * DetSys being the de-facto nix consultancy due to employing the BDFL, not moving work done / guarantees giv

I have no idea. Reddit seems to mostly be on this dude's side too, while most other places I frequent related to Nix do not. There's certainly a lot to break down, but I'll start with Jon calling the behavior of associating h

Bunching several concerns together and calling everyone who cares about them the 2024 equivalent of "blue-haired SJW" with some extra transphobia sprinkled in is the opposite of intellectual curiosity. You could've just not c

Eelco (alongside his co-founder) is Determinate Systems, and their active refusal to answer if they are involved in the military contract likely means they are.

Betting the HDMI port is connected to the NVIDIA GPU too. That might be great for gaming, but NVIDIA drivers are still a mess on modern Linux, especially if they have to render your desktop.

All of that code in one file is certainly... a thing you can do. I'm surprised you used embed on your schema.

That discourse link is the dictionary definition of concern trolling: Appearing to be open to be convinced, but not being so. Appearing to care about minority concerns, but then disregarding them (while attempting to eliminate the entire co

Democracy is defined by direct or indirect control of government by people, not the presence or absence of coercion or how violent that coercion is. This is not a binary choice. Both can be present. Both can be absent. The US arguably has a

The person above didn't claim that? It's just the difference between ideal democracy where the interests of most people are reflected in policy and US democracy (and most others, to different degrees) where choice is limited and c

It'd be reasonable if it was achievable. News are always colored by politics. And usually the people who want "apolitical" news are just defending the status quo they've internalized as the baseline (which especially in

They're on triple redundancy Ceph as far as I know, not geo redundant, but at that price you can buy one in Germany and one in Finland and still come out cheaper than B2. You also only get a very locked down shell.

Being realistic, we're going to put any CO2 we manage to pull out of the atmosphere (if we can do it at cost at all) on a balance sheet. We already do this in various places. For instance, if you dedicate land to growing a forest in Ge

Green hydrogen and other "e-fuels" are an attempt to keep the gas industries infrastructure alive and relevant. If you see someone break down the math it makes zero sense, it just sounds nice.
