This is very different from a sudoers file though. Apple has full control of how those things are configured, so they could easily migrate the values if they want, for example. The fact that they doesn't shows either a malice from them

I am sure that a project that is 21 years old has much less bugs than a new project that had its first release one year ago, independently of the language.

Wouldn't busybox (GPLv2) or toybox (BSD) be a better choice than an very incomplete Rust rewrite? To start, both of them were write with embedded applications in mind, busybox is feature complete since distros like Alpine and OpenWRT u

I am just waiting the release of the next NixOS stable version, since the integration in the current stable version (20.09) is still lacking some important features.

This looks that you're using very aggressive power settings in the kernel (powertop, tlp?), and doesn't seem related to PulseAudio at all.

> My very own system did not work with Pulseaudio when I tried to switch, that was years later. I still use only ALSA because of that experience. At that time Pulseaudio was garbage, it should never have been used then. It only got accep

You can just configure your editor to run formatter on save or with a shortcut. Not really a deal breaker.

Also, just changing to a Chromium based browser is not sufficient. Google still takes most of the decisions in where Chromium is going, and downstreams either accept them or workaround them (but for every workaround they do it is more thing

What do you mean? NixOS you basically can reboot in the latest working version, so the downtime is likely minutes at the worse. Also snapshots in Btrfs/ZFS are really fast to recover too, since they're basically a pointer (again,

> Linux (where do I start) Not true, there are tons of ways in Linux where you can completely recover from a bad update. Either manual backups (even using tar works), BTRFS or ZFS, or something more fancy like NixOS (that I use).

At least I don't need to pay 99 USD a year for some "review" that clearly only works in favor of Apple (they mostly seems to approve anything from smaller developers like shown in this post, while using draconian and arbitrar

I don't know any distro that doesn't update browser packages in stable releases. Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch (ok, Arch is rolling release but still) and NixOS at least offer the lastest versions of Firefox and Chromium on its repository.

It is planned obsolescence, but not because of the usage of liquid metal thermal paste. Liquid metal is not only more expensive to buy but also to apply (it is very difficult to apply liquid metal thermal paste correctly, and also they need

The quality of fansubbing varies greatly depending on the translator too. For example, Crunchyroll uses ASS format for their own subtitles (things licensed from other studios seems to use a simpler format), and some translators do a really

> I'm not so sure whether this is truly a benefit of FP. Yeah, it is not. But like pure functions (that are also not necessary something from FP, you can have pure functions in probably any language out there), it is easier to apply
136.
by m45t3r 6y ago
This is one of the reason I think FP is better than OOP for business development. You can still have entities (that are plain maps, possibly annotated with types so you can keep your sanity), but the business logic now works with simple dat

Unless you give me a more concrete example, I don't really think this is true. For example, right now neither my desktop nor my notebook uses `systemd-networkd` and it works fine. Actually, since I use NixOS even basic things like `hos

> Starting as an init system and becoming a general API that abstracts low level kernel features seems like feature creep. I think the initial presentation of systemd as a faster init system hurt it more than helped, because people start

by m45t3r 6y ago
I don't really understand this feature creep argument against systemd. I mean, this is not like this is a feature included in PID1, it is a new binary so a separate feature (and I am pretty sure that you can choose to not compile it to

Actually the original series is from Game Boy Advance, but the GBA games were never released outside of Japan. Nintendo DS ports were the first one releases in the rest of the world. BTW, I am a great fan of the series, really recommend it.

The author did address this later on, saying he was sorry for not adding a comment. Anyway, no software development process is perfect, but sure the Apple ecosystem make everything worse.

I think it depends on what you're doing. Are you developing native apps with one or two person teams? iOS seems easier to start. Are you developing multi platform apps with teams of hundreds of engineers? Well, Android is much much bet

by m45t3r 6y ago
Not just Pixel, but most Android devices (both my previous Xiaomi and my current Samsung devices does this). I think it is probably part of Android CTS. It just shows that this is possible, but we are talking about Apple here.

Did they known how to dry meat though?

by m45t3r 6y ago
Huh... This is interesting. Can I install packages using it? Because AFAIK Apple doesn't allow installation of packages.
148.
by m45t3r 6y ago
This is far from true. Unless Google removed the possibility of installing packages from third party sources, the situation in Android for *nix username is still far better than iOS. AFAIK, iSH only runs in TestFlight right?

I also have many thing I don't like in every language I use, but I still use them because they're still useful. If we're talking about syntax for example, for me it is Clojure > Python > Elixir >> Ruby, but I know
