My only point is that the parent post wasn't being misleading. No, 1% isn't much.

So he has pledged to give away 95%. But so far it seems like he has given very little, maybe 1%?

I've been using Nix and NixOS for about 5 or 6 years now, extremely thankful for the project. It was my gateway to open source and Linux, and has been pivotal to my career (I work on internal developer experience and environments + CI

I very much do not recommend nix-darwin. I do very much recommend home-manager, which will manage your dot-files and cli packages, and is portable between macOS and Linux.

You can be the customer, or you can be the product. Seems like you choose to be the product.

It would be one thing if the side projects made money. But they don't. If they aren't making money either way, I'd prefer they focused on the core product. Or charge for an actually useful feature like Firefox sync which is c

A major reason agentic LLMs are so promising right now is because they just Figure It Out (sometimes). Either the AI can figure it out, and it doesn't matter if there is a standardized protocol. Or the AI can't figure it out, and

Is this meaningfully more portable than #!bash though?

We do exactly this at my dayjob - we have (multiple) very specific combinations of (erlang, elixir, hex, rebar3) that we use which are pinned to exactly the versions we need. We have a private Nix cache so we only have to build them once.

OP is already trying to do something pretty un-casual: > If you want to control the exact version that's being used across your team (via `asdf` or similar), this practically means you'll end up compiling the BEAM over and over

Flakes is also more stable than many "stable" projects. Flakes is more stable than Python 3, for example.

Perhaps you should give Nix a try :)

Zig being able to (cross)compile C and C++ feels very similar to how UV functions as a drop in replacement for pip/pip-tools. Seems like a fantastic way to gain traction in already established projects.

If that works for you, great. But I for one like to listen to music when I'm out and about and don't have access to an NFS mount.

Yeah, disappearing songs (or content in general) is the part that I HATE about streaming. I'm happy to pay for the service, but unhappy to have content yanked at any moment. Especially with songs I used to love, it's like having p

I agree that the scaffolding around the model contributes greatly to the experience. But it doesn't take billions of dollars in GPUs to do that part.

Maybe in theory. In practice, most people who need Postgres for their test suite will boot an instance in a docker container in CI, and maybe just assume a system version is available for local dev.

The application I'm interested in is a log-based artifact registry. Volume would be very low. Much more important is the immutability and durability of the log. I was thinking that writes could be indexed/prefixed into timestamp b

On this note... has anyone here used object storage directly as a queue? How did it go? You can make a bucket immutable, and entries have timestamps. I don't think any cloud provider makes claims about the accuracy or monoatomicity of

I love React, but the author does make some good points. React does have a lot of footguns, especially if you don't have a very solid grasp of how it works (or at least a solid mental model). A big part of the problem happens well befo

"Native" is a misnomer as it is still virtualizing Linux.

So the media intentionally stirs controversy and they aren't even getting paid to do it by hostile states or the ultra-wealthy? There really is no hope is there.
