Apologies for misrepresenting - my Guix knowledge is clearly out of date! OTOH disagree with many of your choices and the assumptions you based them on. But I also think that this would easier to discuss in a civilized face-to-face than ove

Guix comes up on every Nix thread on HN and it's a bit frustrating. Guix runs on Nix technology with a new config language for packages & a different philosophy about what can go into its core package set (it's a GNU project).

I know it's meant to be a joke but Red Hat have done an amazing amount of good for desktop Linux. I really appreciate their work.

Both good points. In practice a) hasn't been an issue but for b) we had to apply a fair amount of patches ourselves. Luckily b is almost fixed, and if combined with e.g. grsecurity I think nix has a good story.

I'm the 2nd part of this. We're not making any rash decisions and staying is one option. It's not just brexit: We have an end-to-end encryption product and we're really super unclear on what the new IP bill means. It loo

It's quite easy to get to that number of lines once you have code for integrations with other products, monitoring, devops, patched versions of broken or unmaintained libraries, a growing number of tests etc. We run a relatively small

E.g. "in practice, if the EU doesn't strike a deal with the UK (which it won't) then I think it will suffer more exits." That is quite a bold statement that needs a lot of statements from people who can make these decisi

I've read many of your comments here and I'm not convinced you have a good understanding of how the EU works. [1] is a committee meeting that tries to establish how we could disentangle ourselves from the EU. It's very long b

There's some evidence that high inequality precedes instability (Piketty good starting point, follow his references & data). The mechanisms are somewhat nebulous and likely complex and diffuse. So no single WHY other than stability

My rational brain agrees with you but I feel this decision was based on who shouted the most. I participated in some political online discussions (something I rarely do) in good faith and the responses I got were often uninformed (no idea w

Judging by today's discussion with friends one issue is that the UK looks very unwelcoming for immigrants like me now. We won't make any rash decisions but I think my partner and me are going to leave medium term despite us having

Does it really "sicken" you? This is the first objective of the Maastricht treaty: "strengthen the democratic legitimacy of the institutions;" That sounds like championing democracy to me?

As an immigrant living in London the "bad" ideas are in the eye of the beholder surely? Can you enumerate a few ideas that are bad? Also, to me an institution keeping the peace also trying to contain the "contagion" of i

I'd like to see some evidence for your statement. Subsidiarity is a general principle taken into account for all EU decisions. It's the opposite of "seeing difference as a disease" IMO.

I read this and I agree with everything that he says - but I also think it makes Haskell look worse than it is to some passer-by. My impression is that the Haskell community is very self-critical (which is great), but someone just peeking i

I'm not sure it's that simple. In London we have no limit and it's now one of the most expensive places on this planet and despite that it's increasingly impossible to find an apartment. Maybe there is some other cause (

I read somewhere that a single machine still wins 25% against alpha Go. That's still 500 W VS 20 W but a bit closer.
