Nix cache (cache.nixos.org) does in fact maintain older versions[0]. In fact, they maintain so much older stuff (binaries and associated source), that they are used in both research[1][2] and are having issues with gigantic cache size[3][

It is one of the reasons I love Andor so much. Rogue One was so good that it elevated a A New Hope and Andor in turn (especially after S2) elevates Rogue One in similar fashion. The movie/show on their own are some of the greatest, but

This really grinds my gears. The technology is inherently faulty, but the relentless optimism of its future subtly hiding that by making it the user's mistake instead. Oh you got a wrong answer? Did you try the new OpenAI v999? Did you

The worse part is not even being trolled at AI roundabout. The worse part is gaslighting by people who then go on to imply that I'm dumb to not be able to 'guide' the model 'towards the solution', whatever the fuck

As someone who actually wrote a JSON to (limited) SQL transpiler at $DAYJOB, as much fun as I had designing and implementing that thing and for as many problems it solved immediately, 'tail wagging the dog' is the perfect descript

As someone who has no idea how Ruby works, how does Emacs show where any function is defined, right down to line number? Emacs has a big mudball of single namespace too

I guess the point is India can afford to be religious about vegetarian food because they can grow vegetables pretty much year round. India being a big country with all kinds of climate, there are pockets where is is much less enforced, e.g.

90% is a big number. Assuming being an expert allows her to make better use of AI than most, that is still an astonishing number without knowing anything about the field in question. That makes me think that 80 hour work weeks are mostly un

My take is they just want the 'browser' to be visible, kinda like how banks insist on their logos being visible on co-branded credit cards. Considering Firefox is nearly entirely how Mozilla makes money, and that browser has been

I was never active in SerenityOS and only watched things from afar, but JT had a transition and I got the sense that the other contributor just got busy with life. That said, SerenityOS was a 'for us by us' mostly fun project that

IIRC C# investigated virtual/green threads, but decided to drop it because of poor interactions with reentrant code from async/await. The fact that C# went all in on async/await when it was the rage has prevented it from adop

Well, I would agree with you. But I'm no language designer nor maintainer. It could all be bollocks, but since I'm the ignorant one, they get benefit of doubt.

I despise Python's tooling and never touch it willingly. That said, Python's 'mistake' also made it one of the most used languages ever. For nearly 2 decades, you could just type `python` in terminal and get rolling, and

I see what your meaning now, thanks for making it clear. I haven't used Arcan in a while, but from what I remember from my (admittedly little) use and architecture reading, it might be in the best spot to get what you want. Lua binding

That seems like a very Debian problem. Perhaps if one was inclined, Nix can provide immediate resolution, since it can be installed and used on Debian and ghostty project provides convenient flake. Granted I'm on NixOS, but took me gra

If you read through the posts, Arcan is probably way ahead of Wayland with accessibility features. A LOT of thought has went into nearly every aspect of its architecture.

This post (before reading your comment) actually made me look into my own freshrss setup. NixOS defaults to refresh frequency of every 5 minutes[0] (0_0). I had noticed some blogs blackholing me before, but never quite made the connection.

It is manipulative to constantly harass users with 'prompts' until they break down and give up.
