On the other hand, the infrastructure variant of this is the exact opposite. Trying to figure out if something specific is in use and who uses it or if someone just clicked around in your cloud console and forgot about it is the worst. Ther

Some AMD integrated GPUs are surprisingly fragile with this. I have a GPD Win Max 2 8840U (a "concept car" handheld laptop hybrid) and when I got it last year, it would fail to wake from suspend and hibernate about half the time

I think you may be mixing up some things. Anyway, where's this sudden influx of traffic coming from?

I don't object to the product, I object to DetSys moving CppNix into more of an de-facto open core product[1]. This is just a symptom. DetSys contributes the majority of the code that actually gets prioritized and merged (because the m

I hate that it's still more convenient to get an unencumbered copy from a shadow library, even after actually paying for a book.

I would've replied to you but HN's intransparent timeout mechanism hit me. I'd invite everyone to wonder why Lix exists (and is better enough to be used in some parts of Nix's CI now), why CppNix stable was stuck 6 versi

I don't agree with Jon on a personal level, but who was technically in the right aside, he also made some choices that'd accelerate your exit from any organization or community during the events. Let's just say his approach

Sure, but you seem to sidestep the primary accusation that Nix itself got neglected in favor of DetSys. Which is most certainly true for at least the installer.

If their founder was the person with principal control over what goes into CppNix, yes.

And I can still install a snap on an Ubuntu Core machine by building my own distribution method, but it will be a downgrade from the experience of running "snap install something" that introduced me to it. So nobody does. Lix (yes

DetSys, once again, building a moat. I really do not like how this approach depends on their seemingly not open source backend. Nix needs tools like this, no question, but I'd hate to see it get adoption through a way that isn't r

It'll probably be fine for years, longer if you can stand looking at AI generated, upscaled frames. Liftup in GPU power is so expensive, we might as well be back to the reign of the 1080. The only thing that'll move the needle wil

It's too bad AMD will stop even aiming for that market. But also, I bought a Sapphire 7900 XTX knowing it'd be in my machine for at least half a decade.

Lix is a fork of Nix (the program, "CppNix") and also an alternative community. They provide a few ways to install, like nixpkgs itself, but also a DetSys installer fork. It's generally a response to corporate interests (incl

Do not try to solve legal issues with technology. They're not the same scope. If the UK wants Apple to introduce a backdoor, the two options are to do it or not to do it. To not do it and invent some excuse leaning on technical details

EmuDeck is the more featureful one, but messy in a lot of places - and definitely not just a flatpak. I particularly hate how the ~/Emulation folder is full of absolute symlinks (even when creating sibling folder aliases!) to random

Not just senior community members, DetSys is the company of the creator of nix. This installer and the relationship between DetSys and Nix has also been subject to major criticism about conflict of interest between community interests and D

False equivalence. Zoonotic diseases have precedent (SARS, MERS) and SARS-CoV-2 most closely resembles BANAL-52, a bat Coronavirus. Animal origin still seems more likely to me, but less than 5 years ago, since we have a missing link one wou

Conflation of very different factors. Animal origin was always going to be the most likely explanation, so wet market tracks. Lab leak after secret gain of function research is much more of a speculatory accusation than the existence of wet

It did though. Animal origin only stopped being the most favored explanation because we haven't found the link in 5 years.
