This price tracker[1] shows that the price of the Model Y has increased about 9-12k depending on trim over the past year. Are you happy because that's less than 15k? [1] https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/

I like to think of the nix ecosystem as an Olympic-size pool. These pools caused me a great deal of stress when I was a child, not because I feared drowning, but because I felt like I could not fully understand their enormity. I learned to

You're basically right. I'm not 100% sold on this idea, but I think it's a possibility. Most of what I'm seeing right now is CUE facing outward, e.g., to generate typed things from within nix. This[1] is a good example o

Do you know of any basic nix tutorials that skip the non-flake world? I'm not sure that they exist, but I think they could be really helpful. A lot of confusion when adopting flakes seems to come from the fact that the terrible UX of t

nix-direnv[1] is pretty seamless and performant once you have direnv installed and set up. I have a devshell flake template that looks similar to theirs. I had an edge case bug that I was dealing with, and they had a release that fixed it s

I know Eelco hasn't been heavily involved in Nickel, but I have to wonder what his departure from Tweag[1] means for it. A lot of bleeding-edge Nix adherents are starting to adopt CUE[2][3]. [1] https://discourse.nixos.org&#

The big thing this is going to miss between 2018 and now is that flakes have greatly increased presence. The small things are: - nix-direnv[1] is much more powerful and stable, with or without flakes - devshell[2] exists and is reasonably m

It also seems to be a common misconception that hybrids are a logical intermediary step between ICE and EV, and this is made more confusing by cars like the original Hyundai Ioniq that came in hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric vers

My understanding is that hydrogen has a much brighter future in commercial vehicles where fueling station logistics can be much more deliberately planned. I know Toyota does commercial vehicle sales, but I don't know what their hydroge

Toyota is pretty well known at this point for lobbying against fully electric vehicles. What I can't tell is whether their push for consumer hydrogen fuel cell vehicles was a screen as part of the lobbying effort or a failed marketing&

Thanks for the post. I've been meaning to write up remote nix builders on macOS, especially now that going cross-OS (and cross-arch) is increasingly common, though still possible! Perhaps I'll try your tutorial with my builders an

I apologize if I made it appear as though that project were mine, because it is not, but I do consider yours a better version of the same concept. At a basic level, I agree with you on the current state of IaC, but I feel like things such a

Increasingly it seems like people think there is a need for tools that bridge the gap between simple and complicated IaC. I think this is a better idea than a bespoke cli tool that does something similar[1], but I don't think it escape

I remember a common, puerile early adulthood "game" in which one would add the words "in bed" to the text of a fortune cookie. I feel like proclamations about the industry by people who were and are at Google need a simi

I've done a lot of work with running userland qemu for x86_64 in aarch64 vms on macOS 12. The experience is serviceable for simple things, but if I build anything really heavyweight, I find I need a native arch builder. I have little d

The route from New Orleans to Chicago is surprisingly short on fast chargers. Had she picked destinations within a similar distance in any other direction, such as El Paso to the west or Miami to the (south)east, she would have had a very d

It's certainly prolix, but it's a frequent topic of discussion that Emacs contribution is hindered by the patch model and copyright assignment. This gets rid of both at once, and forge[1] is (was?) a fairly common term, though the

The "why" section of the repo explains it, but there may be some missing context. All contributors to Emacs are required to assign copyright to the FSF before their contributions will be accepted. This[1] explains why. [1] https:

If I own a battleship, its turning radius is a meaningful metric. If I own a millionth of a battleship, I probably didn't buy in on the strength of its turning radius.

One of the things I love the most about it is that we can use CI to update flake inputs and build configs on a cadence, which is almost like having dependabot for machine configuration.

I still don't know that I've seen anything more impressive for this sort of thing than the Rebol parser. http://www.rebol.net/cookbook/recipes/0042.html Red also has this capability, and it is quite expr

I know this piece is mostly for the humor of increasingly arcane config generation systems, but given that Pulumi is attempting to displace the most popular application using HCL2, I find it interesting that the HCL example looks ergonomica

It sounds like we agree? I recommend that intro because it's practical, especially for someone who is likely an adult asking what a major chord is.

This is an odd post, because the author starts in the right place, harmonics, and then veers off into scale degrees without really answering the question. The best place to get the answer is Schönberg’s Theory of Harmony, but we can do some

First, direnv (along with nix-direnv) is really the glue that makes all of this work seamlessly. It depends on what the dotfiles are for and how they're used. Here's an example of a problematic one: AWS configs. You can theoretica
