It seems that Guix has some technical benefits as compared to nix, but I wasted a week just trying to get Guix System installed on an old x86 laptop and never got past the login screen without a hang or crash. Nix on the other hand booted f

I'm a recent convert and set up nix-darwin and home-manager on a flake-based system, have not had any issues like this.

Well if you have any favorites, I'd love to see them. I'm very interested in the research in this topic, and you're making bold claims that I haven't seen well supported in literature, but I've been less on top of t

Almost certainly not. Vitamin supplementation would almost certainly be unnecessary if those 400 calories were reasonable, and even then a multivitamin is calorie free.

To my knowledge this mirrors the largest meta-analysis I'm aware of (JAMA? Probably way back in 2008 or so though, man I'm getting old) which showed that virtually all diets have a return to baseline weight by 2 years. Will see if

A lot of interesting claims here. Any references?

I hear the nay-sayers regarding the time cost and complexity of embedded programming, but as a hobbyist I think this is a great recommendation to at least consider. The projects that I've been able to accomplish on a microcontroller ha

Wow, that's been there a while: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/commit/35c974c9c49f912... Wonder how I missed that. I'm getting a re-education in helix today -- thank you! I'll go through

I use visual mode a fair amount for block-wise changes (something that helix does very well). Unfortunately I reliably labor to get might visual selection correct in helix and then mistype a key and it's gone. Glad to hear it's co

I'm intentionally trying to move from nvim to helix, but I still sorely miss macros, `gv`, `g;`, piping rg to the quickfix list, and a few others. Slowly getting used to it though, the ultra-fast startup time and no-hassle LSP integrat

Perhaps you meant "'XX is female' is a convenient rubric"?

I'd say it's fairly accurate. It's difficult to confidently establish "stable" in a patient with possibly feigned or exaggerated symptoms based on history and exam alone. It is generally agreed that pain management

Came to say the same. Big difference in programming language support -- in addition to arduino (or C I presume?) the esp32c3 can be programmed in no_std rust, either 8266 or 32 can be programmed with micropython. Or apparently you can just

My setup is a little complex, but I'm very happy syncing plain-text notes between my Mac, several Linux machines, and my iPhone. I'm still using (and loving) Notational Velocity on my Mac. Thankfully it's open source, so I wa

I often end up scripting something with the dependency tree as opposed to recursively trying to uninstall dependencies that I don't recognize until I get to something top-level that I recognize.

Or frequently just `nix shell nixpkgs#foo` or even `nix run nixpkgs#bar -- --baz` (as opposed to `brew install foo; foo; brew uninstall (or it is it remove?) foo` I still have both installed as the union of their packages is better than eit

I follow a similar approach -- top-level dependencies in pyproject.toml and then a pip freeze to get a reproducible set for applications. I know there are edge cases but this has worked really well for me for a decade without much churn in

Working as a medical professional in an over-stressed system is demoralizing, perhaps in some ways similar to how being stuck in standstill traffic is stressful (even though perhaps there's no reason it must be a priori). I can think o

Happy New Year! It is so nice to have a community with whom to share and discuss technology topics. I work in medicine, as does my wife, and my colleagues all seem to be allergic to computers and have little to contribute to my nerdy intere

I recently gave a shot to nu + zellij (as a replacement for bash + tmux) recently and had to bail within days due to it breaking my "background the editor in this pane" habit that is pure muscle memory by now.

Yes, I'm somewhat curious what the end of that find command is before it gets piped to xargs. I need to remember to -prune more often.

Same here, using basically nothing but FF for maybe 6 years or so. I somehow was lugging around up to 2,400 tabs for much of last year and it handled it surprisingly well. Got down to 30 at one point, now back up to nearly 400 :/ Very
