   lmao I just realized on this forum writing this way might sound like I own something. To be clear, I don't own shit. I typically write "my employer", and should have here.

   It is containers. It's based on Nixery, which is a virtual Docker registry where it puts together containers for you on the fly containing whatever packages you want from Nixpkgs.

   And if you want any concurrency at all, you need 1 runner registration per concurrent job. And each runner needs its own user. And each runner requires a full and separate copy of the runner software, which is large (hundreds of megs) and s

   My company uses GitHub, GitLab, and Jenkins. We'll soon™ be migrating off of GitLab in favor of GitHub because it's a Microsoft shop and we get some kind of discount on GitHub for spending so much other money with Microsoft. Sched

   So can we just go back to using external CI platforms that just interact with GitHub's commit status API or whatever?

   It seems that "native vs. emulated" here means "arm64 binaries vs. x86 binaries, both running on Windows". So the comparison that the OP is making wouldn't be possible if Blizzard didn't already support aarch64

   They do mean the same thing, but they have different moods. With the em-dashes it's self-interjection that foregrounds the detour, but with parentheses it's, well... parenthetical. Aside: it's probably just style (maybe some

    If I had to venture a guess, I'd say compression. Knopper picked up and became maintainer of a kernel module called "cloop" that supports zlib-compressed loopback filesystems. If Knoppix had this and Finnix didn't, or if

    At the time, Devenv was still pretty barebones compared to now (the rate of feature development has been great in the past few years), so it didn't have much in the way of support for workflows per se. Instead I used the scripts module

    Thanks for the response. I think multi-language support is a great feature, and I understand why you had to go for it. While I'm sure some people likely switched away from CUE once they had the chance because they weren't interest

    One thing that I liked about switching from a Docker-based solution like Dagger to Nix is that it relaxed the infrastructure requirements to getting good caching properties. We used Dagger, and later Nix, mostly to implement various kinds o
