I've been using NixOS for the last year and have loved it. Rebuilding doesn't fail for me nearly as often as it does for the author. Running nix garbage collection frequently isn't a big deal and can easily be automated. The

My ring finger is always slightly sore due to typing ( so often. Not just in LISP but any programming language. I've been experimenting with mapping l; to () when the caps lock key is pressed. So far so good, but I haven't used it

IMO the core idea of copyright isn't nonsense, but I do think the current implementation (70+ years after death) is egregiously overpowered. I've always thought the current laws were too deeply entrenched to ever change, but I&#x2

For the record, I'm the author of the article, and even I barely understand any of this code. And that's after months of thinking about combinatory logic on a daily basis. It's not designed to be understood. And I can empathi
