Windows will, however, no longer acknowledge your license key. At least that is what happened when I swapped a Windows installation from an Intel system into an AMD system.

Sounds reasonable. Also, when squashing a PR would conflate unrelated commits then maybe those commits should have been separate PRs instead. I've recently started to like squashing after usually preferring rebase merges, because with

I understand what you mean, I just made a guess why it was not a priority to follow FHS for its root when it doesn't really follow FHS anywhere else anyway. Also, /nix is self-contained as well, so that is not an advantage to foll

The store path can be changed with chroot or something similar and the `nix` CLI supports this natively, AFAIK.
136.
by matrss 3y ago
NixOS and nix, by design, do not and can not follow FHS, so I guess they decided to shorten that path while at it. That said, it is possible to use a different location than /nix/store through chroot/proot/bubblewrap or

I think they mean "python like easy syntax", fortran certainly does not have a std library that contains e.g. a HTTP client or SMTP server (to my knowledge). Although I would say the "easy syntax" mostly applies to numer

by matrss 3y ago
Why should someone older inherently have higher expenses? Cost of living is much more dependent on the location than on age. It might be a result of lobbying from this direction, but it makes no sense and is still age discrimination.

Sure, but why should the minimum wage be lower for younger people then, if age does not equal experience? Is there any other reason, or is it just age discrimination?
