To expand a bit on this for people not familiar with Nix: the dynamic linker is treated as any other dependency and therefore stored in the Nix store, using the derivation's hash as part of the store path. The binary's .interp sec

The problem isn't the rent. It may be an inconvenience for an indie developer, but to Microsoft, Apple, etc. the cost of a yearly developer account is peanuts. They are not doing it hoping to make excessive amounts of money. Even if Ap

This is why we need WASM and web-first development. This is only going to make things worse. If everything is a web application, why would users even need access to their hardware or be able to modify their operating system? Boot from an

MSDOS 6.0 might be interesting. Windows 3.1 too. And MS-DOS 4.0/4.1, not to be confused with 4.00/4.01, which had multi-tasking features: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS-DOS_4.0_(multitasking)

I have never programmed Lua, but it also seems to fit the bill fairly well. - Acceptable license? MIT - you need something that builds everywhere. It probably does? At least it compiles with Turbo C 1.0. - Modicum of security: probably. Lua

Yet, you are probably deploying on an operating system that is a clone of another operating system that was started in the early 70ies.

If you use e.g. the Emacs LSP package and edit files remotely through Tramp, you are using the remote toolchain, language server, etc. [1] (Though for me it doesn't really matter, because I can reproduce exactly the same environments

I am hoping that WSL/WSL2 makes Windows so attractive for developers, that Apple feels the pressure to either implement Linux syscall emulation or very lightweight VMs like WSL2. (I know that macOS has Hypervisor.framework)

That instance has access to the file system on my server, allowing me to use any machine to do my work without installing anything. Many editors have had remote editing support for a while. It requires that you have installed the editor l

But then unfortunately, even then some companies do not provide their Electron app on Linux e.g. Notion. Though, it is usually easy to rewrap the version from another platform using Electron on Linux. E.g. writing a Nix derivation for Notio

Source? If you are letting charge drop in that range and charge again, you are creating charging cycles. Charge cycles reduce the capacity of Li-Ion batteries. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201585

by danieldk 6y ago
I think this is false. Lithium-Ion batteries (in contrast to e.g. NiMH) do not have the memory effect [1]. It's actually charge/discharge cycles that reduce battery life for such batteries [2]. Older MacBooks were only rated for 3

That must be some Ubuntu-related issue, GNOME 3.26 on Wayland on NixOS is as snappy as it always was. Pretty much everything is instant.

Not yet, but I think it is very likely that in the future installing a Linux distribution from the store will automatically install/enable WSL. Micro-distributions with a specific applications are only a small step from there. I don&#x

WSL is more a solution for users that want to have Linux software on Windows. It's not a solution for developers that want to target Windows, I am not sure what the difference is, when WSL gets deeper and deeper integration with Wind

I wonder how long this stays true though. Microsoft seems to aim for deep integration of Linux in Windows per WSL. They even showcased that they are working on Wayland support for WSL, which would enable using Linux GUI applications directl

The wider implications of recommending a proprietary application (worse: a GUI based one which costs money and is only available on one platform) is that now your documents are tied to a particular time of reference in an ecosystem. Someth

So, what's the place for a fanless, low powered mini pc? I use an Intel NUC with Linux (NUC8i5BEH) for daily work on Linux. Reasons I like it: - Nearly all-Intel hardware, so very good Linux support. - Easier to upgrade (3.5" SA

My current hurdle is exactly the topic of this thread: non-binary configs. For example, what am I supposed to do with .zprofile? I think I’m supposed to write a custom Nix derivation for ZSH that includes any and all customizations. I’m co

By and large yes. However, even on NixOS there can be various leftovers in the form of state files in /var and configuration files in /etc (outside the majority, which are managed through Nix). Unless you nuke most of the root

That's too much of a simplification. In NixOS you still have global configuration files, such as /etc/fstab . However, they are symlinks to Nix store paths that are associated with the current generation. $ realpath &#

However, you can use synthetic firmlinks to define arbitrary root-level paths that _are_ writable. See `man synthetic.conf` No, synthetic.conf only creates directories or symlinks. If it actually created firmlinks, the problem would pro

You use a much smaller set of applications than web sites. Moreover, you usually vet your applications and do not run random stuff. Application developers build up trust over time. Even if I want to use the web as hypertext + some Javascr
