Yeah, ran into this when thinking more about this on the bus. Sorry for the distraction.

I need to look at how pack is implemented, maybe I'm missing something. I already used this to install guile 2.2 on a debian machine, so I'm excited for this development. But to clarify my point - instead of all the content hashes

Andrei left fb in 2015 - probably due to their lack of commitment to D & his F stocks doing well.

Wouldn't this all be a bit easier if the hashes in guix/nix were relative to some global destination store location, rather than /nix or /guix?

Non-Blocking works a bit better as a phrase, in my opinion.

Personally, I've found that if I put something on my calendar that I don't do, it really starts to spoil my calendar. When I "trust" my calendar, I eventually have become able to put something on there, at a specific tim

Think of Org-mode as more of a multi-language ipython notebook, where anything (plantuml, ditaa, python, etc) can be used, along with a data interchange format (org-mode vars + tables). It can literally "do" any tool you use that

I can really only be cynical about this announcement, hoping to convince a few more firefox users to switch to chrome instead of supporting the open web.

Human driven cars have a bicycle problem as well. Humans aren't very good at predicting or seeing them either in dense urban areas. Grade separation is the way to go!

More complexity does not mean you need more people.

Why would one? What community would spend time preparing for someone, literally overnight, to have more wealth and leverage than your entire community as a whole?

Conn 79H Trombone. Just gorgeous sound, beautiful design, and even the trombone case just seemed right. Still love it.

Yes! I think some of the changes they made ~2007/2008 in their interior design were huge leaps in front of most other cars IMHO.

Please let me know if you do get around to releasing it! I think scheme is woefully underrated as something that can be used for "real work", especially with something like chez. You can find my email or other contact info through

Unfortunately, yes. The best phrasing I've heard recently is "Go is useful drudgery".

> and can make real binaries (I think anyway) No, it cannot currently. It makes boot files which still need to be launched with scheme / petite. The build + library/module system with chez is also pretty unusable. If you want t

I think it may be faster to just port, though are there larger libraries that Arc depends on in Racket that you'd also have to significantly port?

It's not that it needs to be equally capable in each way - you need something that is more degradable and ecologically sensible for each specific case.

There are keyboards that force AES-128 and don't fall back IIRC microsoft makes some. A USB keyboard is almost certainly easier to secure though.

When I worked outside of SV, I saw the same thing. Several engineers went off to schools nearby to get MBAs just so their careers could improve. Once in SV though... I rarely see this. When you get an MBA, it's a huge signal to an empl

So I guess that IPO ain't happening. They amended their S-1 today, so sounds like this was a pretty quickly made deal. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1435043/000119312517...

Don't be afraid to do the next least janky thing. Run with it. It's like David Allen with GTD: If you can't do it with paper, you don't understand your process enough yet. A manual process that is well understood can be

I'd love to hear about various solutions for this as well. So many tools are so heavy weight, and others are too lightweight.. and everyone ends up with something JIRA/Bugzilla + spreadsheets and reports.

There was a great talk recently by Rich Hickey[0] about how change itself is breakage. Breaking early and often is catastrophically worse than python 2.7 in my opinion. [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyLBGkS5ICk

I'm struggling a lot to get access to my bank's "bill pay" interface. Any recommendations for banks that support building out automation like this? There are very small things I'd like to implement (budgeting, auto-

The packaging is functional, the scripting is not. Guix still uses a fork of the nix-daemon, and thus derivations. The "functional packages, no side effects" part is still guaranteed in the build & install part. I'd say i
