You can't feasibly cache large reposotories' diffs/content-at-version without reimplementing a significant part of git - this stuff is extremely high cardinality and you'd just constantly thrash the cache the moment some

Serving file content/diff requests from gitea/forgejo is quite expensive computationally. And these bots tend to tarpit themselves when they come across eg. a Linux repo mirror. https://social.hackerspace.pl/@q3k&#

The fundamental basis of Nix is that it's a purely functional programming language without side effects. The whole thing breaks apart otherwise. And with a purpose-specific programming language, there's some big quality of life th

To each their own, I'm quite happy running NixOS on all my desktop/laptop machines (for probably 7 years now?) - and I know I'm not the only one.

by q3k 1y ago
Yeah, for all the blog posts about quitting NixOS there's plenty of us who continue using it. I don't think it's just the steep learning curve though, I think it's just not for everyone. You _have_ to enjoy side quests w

Right, the problem is that this leaky abstraction effectively now requires you're both good at Nix and good at fixing whatever tool it is that is refusing to work with Nix. That usually means diving deep into build systems, code that m

What? No! Nix-the-language certainly isn't great, but there's nothing better about JSON/YAML in this role. The whole point of Nix is that it's a programming language that allows you to build abstractions in the language

Wait, people actually show up 3 hours before their flight? I try to make it 1 hour before, and that's only because of bag drop off deadlines. I know plenty of light travellers that show up 15-30 minutes before departure, basically at g

I tried doing this a few years ago, mapping OpenGL 1.x primitives into WebGL was indeed a pain. There were some translation layers but they were either incomplete or targetting GLES, not classical OoenGL. I then attempted to actually rewrit
