I've been using an e-ink phone (HiSense A9) full-time for a year, and it's pretty great. Especially things like biking navigation in sunlight are a huge plus. The Daylight Computer technology is super interesting and a friend of m

The first demo is a Webassembly thing that looks like any generic web thing. The next one is a cryptocurrency app that seems to have a "modern" design. The other ones (gotraceui, sointu) seem like they might be what you're ta

Peculiar how that Wikipedia article omits a crucial word in its condensed summary. I'm sure this is an honest error, since nobody would ever use Wikipedia to try to push their own agenda. Anyways, lets look at the law text. This is fro

Cloudflare probably respects your cache headers (I haven't used it, but would expect so). This website disables caching in its headers, so Cloudflare can't actually do much.

To determine how useful something is it's important to look at the usecase . My usecase for interacting directly with the store is that I want to look at some specific store path, so I already know the hash from somewhere and can au

Flakes are a misfeature that adds a complicated layer of abstraction over an already not very simple system. I follow some chats with lots of Nix beginners, and the amount of people that are now stuck in a flakes tarpit and have no understa

If you have an actively used Nix system with a large disk, it's very likely that you have a large number of (unused) deriations with the same prefix in there. A derivation is also a lower-level thing than a package, so it's not gu

Well, we have the ambition to make it a sort of Godbolt for Nix, but none of us are frontenders and it's not quite as visually impressive and easy to follow as the actual Godbolt. It does work, though! We've also been thinking a

Why use submodules when you can properly vendor the upstream git, and export/import commits without breaking hashes on either side? https://github.com/josh-project/josh We've been using josh at TVL for years

This includes the sources of all the Debian packages. In general this is a good idea, and it is close to how nixpkgs works (which is, in some sense, a "distributed monorepo"), but git, the Debian tooling and so on wouldn't ac

It had a major technical flaw in that it depends on some weird, Javascript-only JSON-serialisation bugs (iirc), and these basically had to be reimplemented in other languages so nobody really ended up writing any other clients for it.

It's well understood that the reason people drag in these unnecessary frameworks is often because they prioritise their developer experience over the user experience, and you're just proving the point ;) For what it's worth,
