Small multiplier, I think not. Pickup trucks weigh about 1.5x as much as a sedan (comparing Camry to F150). Due to the fourth power law, they should be taxed about 5 times higher than a sedan simply for road maintainence. I don’t have the n

The point is: who cares what the “best” camera is if one doesn’t have it with them to take a photo of the fleeting moment anyway?

Many of the “native” apps on mobile app stores are React Native, though.

Even so folks are still maintaining it. Once a film is done, it’s done and no one looks back.

Btrfs and bcachefs both have data checksumming. I think ReFS does as well.

Even then you obviously need L2ARC as well!! /s

It’s unfortunate some folks are missing the tongue-in-cheek nature of your comment.

One big difference is that apt and dnf are both binary package management systems, whereas Homebrew is a source-based build system with binary packages (“bottles”) added on top.

Nix effectively has per-user packages, but it’s hard to read into your full use case from your comment.

All files pokes a big hole, really you want portals. You probably also want audio. And perhaps graphics acceleration depending on the software, and other limited hardware access. And dbus (but sandboxed proxy access). Probably some global c

Well the point is that if N of M machines produce the same output, it provides the opportunity to question why it is different on the others. If the build is not reproducible then one just throws up their arms. It’s not clear if you’re also

The problem isn’t that they might be out-of-order. The problem is expecting that they merely might be out-of-order and actually getting missed and duplicated values due to the timing of shared memory access. This was enough of a problem tha

For what it’s worth, nothing in this article is really necessarily for general usage of Nix, as the derivation format is mostly abstracted-away, like how the OCI image format is irrelevant to everyday authoring of Dockerfiles.

Git doesn’t really care at all about the content. Nix does. Really they’re not reasonably comparable at all.

Linux also has Landlock now. macOS sandboxing is notoriously under-documented, has sharp edges, and is nowhere near as expressive as Linux sandboxing.

Tabular numerics are great! Of course not all fonts implement them. If only Apple could figure this out and use it for the iOS clock app.

launchd’s ergonomics as a user are quite terrible, though. `start`? No…`kickstart`? No…`enable`? No…`load`? No…`bootstrap`? Maybe. I honestly don’t know. But either way, now is it the file path, the service name, or the fully-qualified name

Genetic testing isn’t the exclusive realm of 23andme, you can get it done through a medical provider as well who doesn’t have such privacy-violating terms.

Some systems or admins may not trust unprivileged namespacing (thus disabling and its use requiring root), while Landlock may be enabled (and is specifically designed to be used by unprivileged processes).

Landlock can be used to sandbox a launched sub process, as it is here, just as the Kernel APIs used by Bubblewrap could (and sometimes are!) used by programs to sandbox themselves.

My reading is that the primary vector is based on the size of the chunks (due to deterministic chunking and length-preserving encryption). Would padding chunks with random-length data (prior to encryption) help mitigate this at the cost of
