   ca-derivations from what i understand, fixed-output derivations but more general. The point of the article to me (author) was that i found it odd that Nix replaces the derivations when calculating the output path but not the derivation path

   Great timing! I just published https://github.com/fzakaria/nix-nar-kaitai-spec and contributed kaitai C++ STL runtime to nixpkgs https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/454243

   What's the rationale not to try incremental linking ? Is it such an incredibly complex problem that it likely induces performance overhead killing the optimization itself ?

    Am I the first to say "Nix solves this" Nix effectively ships a sysroot with every binary !

    I had similar idea ! Loved seeing it here. We thought about doing it with ChocoPy to make the types more consistent.

    I really like it; the community curations are neat. So many ideas to explore and I wonder if it can model pre-existing events like if I wanted to explore: Should I DCA ? (I can look historically)

    Same that's why I wrote the blog :) Even the 'scopedImport' builtin isn't documented. I agree. Kind of feels there's a lot to learn but also Nix is a complete departure from how we traditionally built software. So i

    I think after having learnt about public benefit corporations, any company that now tells me "they have a mission" is giving me a false bag of goods because now I know there is this legal instrument to codify your mission into you

    Isn't Oxide kind of like Oracle now building polished vertically integrated monster machines ? A bit humorous from that perspective given Cantrills dislike for Larry Nevertheless cool company and product.

    If you say a number, even 1.5x you've already lost. Replying with either yes (accept) or no are the only two responses that work.

    Nix has support for bit reproduction and will not rebuild on comments if you specify it. Of course lots of software isn't ready for but reproduction which is why Nix has taken such a pragmatic approach. (I have written a lot about this

    Nix gives you a commit guarantee rather than arbitrary versions. You're going to put yourself in a bad time when you have edge cases: glibc changes or conflicting shared libraries. It sounds like it's a little bit too late, but I&
