You probably don't want to wear a Quest for a full long-haul flight. They're not that comfortable, even with third-party straps. There's also the whole thing where Quest 2 is quite a bit worse than Quest 1 in some aspects tha

I think what makes this sound so profound is that the second point sounds like a shadowy, centralised cabal. In reality it's a lot of the participants in the graph, for various reasons.

Wasn't this at some point written in Rust? What prompted the Haskell rewrite? I tried looking through the issue tracker but didn't find anything, just curious.

> I suspect Nix is smart enough to properly isolate derivatives That's not really relevant here, as carp itself seems to basically do code-gen and then compile stuff on its own (outside of any Nix build), so the environment in which

You might have to add `-p pkg-config` (important: in the same invocation!), that may be the lookup mechanism they use.

It's because these things are chosen across a perceived axis of "developer comfort/productivity", and UX (if it is considered at all) is an afterthought.

Many buildings in London actually have multiple postcodes. In general UK postcodes are granular enough that almost any combination of a name and code should make it, save for situations like several people with identical names living in fla

That's an unreasonably optimistic take. In many subreddits, moderation is just for enforcing the moderators opinions.

Moscow metro does this. In very busy stations only the turnstiles at the sides have this functionality though, as the native NFC cards ("Тройка") are much faster (contactless payments can take O(seconds), which is a lot when there

To be fair, the whole concept of manually installing individual packages on production servers (especially when they run NixOS!) is a complete anti-pattern, so that situation wouldn't even occur during normal operation.

It absolutely does matter in this case. We have written implementations of this concept for very different languages (Go, Common Lisp, Erlang, C) and the conceptual equality means that nothing is different at the core, only at the edges (wh
