   Congrats, this language looks pretty cool! What advantages does it have over, say, something like Elixir?

   I recently wrote about installing the Guix System on an old laptop of mine. Enjoy!

   I think (and I am no expert here, so correct me if I am wrong) that, when it comes to actually written programs, there is little difference between “actually infinite” and “practically infinite”. This is like saying the probability of any

   I think his point is, that there are (due to the limits of longs/BigInts) only a finite number of configurations before an integer overflow. I am not qualified to present an argument against, but I think there are some programs for wh

    Thanks for the info, I will look into these links and see if I can push an update to Erlang and Elixir in the coming days. :)

    Can you explain (or point to an explanation) of exactly how to do that? The Guix versions of Erlang and Elixir are way out of date, and I would like to push a fix.

    I am not familiar with `pcase` in Elisp, but `case` is a perennial favorite in languages like Elixir and Lisp Flavored Erlang. I hope `cond*` doesn’t deviate too far from this norm.

    I have nothing to add other than saying that Physicists and Philosophers often make better programmers than Computer Scientists. :)

    This is my one gripe with Guix. Alas, we (apparently) can't have it all!

    by djaouen 3y ago

    I just wanted to chime in here and say that Guix also has a nice and easy-to-use Docker option with "guix pack -f docker" [1]. Guix also has the advantage of using an already-used language (Guile/Scheme) rather than its own

    They do it because they are (generally) not as interested in the success of the company (or even themselves) as they are in the look of success for themselves. You are overestimating people here.

    The Asahi developers do great work, but I have heard it is not yet at the quality necessary for daily driving. I might be wrong here, however, and I will give it a try once Apple stops updating my M1.

    My Guix System runs perfectly fine on my 10 year old MSI. But I guess that doesn't count?

    They don't have to. I am just not their target demographic. I want my laptops to last 10+ years.

    Honestly, I am no longer interested in Apple due to its discontinuance of MacOS updates for older systems. My next purchase will either be a Framework or a Tuxedo.

    Not sure if this is real, but if it is, he should sue his employer and force them to take responsibility for employing someone like that. The only way justice will be served is if you force it to be, so I wouldn’t hesitate to make them eat

    Thanks, that clarifies things for me. Oh well. It was fun to program, though!
