Sidenote, i'm taking the plunge into NixOS, but notably using Flakes. While i've dabbled in Nix in the past some things felt more odd to me than perhaps they should have. Primarily the fact that it felt like all these configs were

Stupid question - would it be sane to get involved in this stuff without having a means of transporting large objects? Every time i look into wood related work, be it home repair or artsy stuff, everything is huge. I have a Prius. I'm

Can anyone comment on the state of UX with Element these days? I'm changing to Linux/Windows from Mac, so i'm dumping iMessage - but i'm not convinced Signal has a good enough UX to keep me and my family happy. Sidenote

Ooo, and one more: Depth of features. Software that achieves my goal in a focused manner is something i typically enjoy. I don't want it to do everything under the sun, i want it to do one or two things well. These days, to me, a &quot

Tangent, what's the best way to use Nix-like features in a mainstream distro? Eg, i've been evaluating PopOS recently because i want a Mac equivalent OS. Ie, i don't want driver/config issues. However one problem i never

(small preface: a lot of my replies to your comments are not intended to be combative or smug, but i fear they may come off as such. Apologies. I don't intend it, but i'm also too tired to rewrite. So fair warning :) > Flood

I'm not talking about any specific location. Just the idea that it's some bigoted idea to say that, if year after year an area is burned to the ground, we shouldn't spend taxpayers dollars to fund a disaster area. If insuranc

I dunno, it does seem reasonable to me. Including your (albeit too wide) statement. I refuse to live in a flood plain. Why would you? Not only do i not want my house to be destroyed, but the insurance alone is a good incentive to not live

What's the material advantage of Wayland? I've done a tiny bit of research on what it is, but not how it materially provides a better UX to the end users. Thoughts?

I assume you're referring to the integration between Windows and Linux? Because WSL2 i've not had a single "chmod" issue, .. not sure why i would. Chmod within linux works just like you'd expect. However permissio

For me, the draw is Linux without problems using my montiors, GPUs, Bluetooth, USB, etcetc. Which is litaraly the same reason i use(d) Mac, but am now looking to move away from. Mac has too many problems, so i may as well move on.

Interesting, i've heard Nvidia is the way to go. Closed source, yes, but still great drivers. I saw some very concerning behavior from AMD GPUs, like not releasing decent drivers for ages after new cards were released, etc. I also have

Any recommendation for linux compatible hardware? I'll be building a new machine next year and i'd like to make it work with Linux, so a buying list would be nice. I know the CPU/Ram/GPU i want, but i imagine most of the

I'll give it a look. Admittedly it doesn't sound attractive, because it sounds like the exact bells and whistles of configuration that i _don't_ want haha. The longer i'm a software engineer the less energy i have for de

Yup, this is my exact use case. I'm needing more hardware and my multiple Macbook Pros are getting old - but i'm not satisfied enough with Mac these days to drop $4k on upgrading. Apple would have to make me really happy with th

I've been debating Linux vs WSL2 recently and this is exactly the type of issue that has me pausing on embracing Linux Desktop. I've paid thousands to the Mac ecosystem over the years purely to avoid these problems. I just want

How does VSC integrate with the linux side? (or any program like Visual Studio. Ie custom Terminal emulators like Alacritty) Eg on a native system (Linux/Mac), a lot of editors launch subprocesses like Language Server Protocol Server

I'm definitely going to give it a try, but posts like this[1] don't give me too much hope. From early research, i'm struggling to understand what advantage WSL2 has over Cygwin. Thoughts? [1]: https://news.ycombina

Ask HN: Mac/Linux devs, have you had success switching to Windows?

Sidenote, i am with you fully - and you may be interested in `!s` - Startpage. I know very little about them, so please - do your own research, but supposedly they straight use Google, so your results are basically Google without giving you

Yea i was going to ask how the license would differ from a CS degree. I assume you're thinking of more of an .. apprenticeship arrangement? Something to vet the authors capability? The problem here is "developing" is so loose

I think to some degree there's usefulness in gatekeeping titles - as titles could be a great way to know areas or level of expertise. Key word "could" be. Unfortunately the nature of language combined with personally assigned

Nothing - if i knew of any. All the Linux OSs i've tried is a mixed bag. A gamble. And i have a terrible experience with windows currently, so even ignoring Unix, Windows doesn't seem like an option. I'll probably give Linux

I felt like every poor quality controlled release they've had on OSX for the last 10 years has been trying to do that. I feel lost. Wanting to have a simple OS that lets me develop with unix tools but also "just works". The e

Appreciate it! As a backend engineer (not game dev) but lacking in math and proper computer science backgrounds, what areas might i want to focus on learning to implement a simulation game similar to this?

I think this is the _only_ solution, regardless of working or not. Assuming we can somehow defer peoples personal responsibility on logic and reasoning and _not_ have it be exploited / corrupted in the future is a hell of an assumption

As someone in a similar description as you - i find my lifetime understanding... moderate. Complex lifetime usage still can tweak my brain - notably how i can design it. But simple lifetime usage is intuitive. A simple example i often run i
