I just use package.json scripts as entrypoints to custom JS scripts. Make is a build tool, not a meta-shellscript format; I wish its dependency tracking was unbundled into a separate tool.

How do you intend on preventing people from just exchanging crypto for goods instead of having to go through offramps?

How would you ban an anonymous cryptocurrency?

Seconded. Anyone got a Merveilles invite?

Bitcoin is not private. Wallets are ephemeral, however the coins themselves can be tracked. Monero, on the other hand...

Who are you going to fine? Distributed ledgers are not owned by a central entity.

So much this. Sadly, you and I are exceptions - caring about it only enough to voice our disregard for it. Usually, by the time a person is old enough to not need the churn of mass culture to be relevant to their peers, they're usually

We should definitely expect road policy to not introduce extra inequality.

FIX: it's actually "service as a software substitute", not the other way around. FSF could benefit from catchier nomenclature, even the "free as in blah blah" is too complex for the knee-jerk thinking cultivated in

It's a chicken-and-egg thing, methinks. When I started using the Internet in the early 00's, it was over a metered connection - but my ISP had a FTP server with content where traffic was unmetered, so people could download music a

Provided a malicious host could take measures to serve the auditors a binary that matches the source, and something entirely different for everyone else, I know of no good way to confirm that a remotely served binary corresponds to the publ

The "user" in this scenario would be the advertiser. While I have little sympathy for ads, and dread the emergent effects of behavioral tracking, a self-deployed ad tracker could at least be trusted by the advertiser who seeks to

+1 for PlantUML. Mostly the Sequence diagrams - everything else quickly becomes a mess unless you take extra pains to prevent arrows from turning into a tangled bundle. I don't care about the UML vocabulary, just give me boxes and arro

Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well :) I've seen exactly what you're talking about, and yes - once a DAW is in the mix you have to account for the DAW's routing. Historically, audio routing is something you do with

It literally shows up as an audio device in Windows sound settings, and "just works" - what prompted you to reach for documentation? Unless you tried one of their more advanced offerings, like Voicemeeter - which also looks pretty

Note that studio mics recommended in this thread, like the SM57 or the C1, need to be plugged with an XLR cable into an audio interface. Focusrite, for one, makes good USB audio interfaces - but it's still an extra device to buy and th

That's neither "fairly cheap", nor is going to sound better than buying a microphone at the same price and using free EQ and compressor plugins, nor is adding extra "warmth" the main benefit from using a compressor.

The latest version of something failing to build. Like when the Tor project removes a Tor Browser package from its servers and `tor-browser-bin` hasn't yet been updated in nixpkgs.

When I run `nixos-rebuild switch --verbose`, it does seem to go through the entirety of nixpkgs. Especially noticeable on a RPi with its slow I/O.

I don't use nix-env or home-manager. On my NixOS workstation everything (outside of nix-shells) is installed via environment.systemPackages. And I do wish there was an easy way to add stuff to install packages without rebuilding the wh

Yeah, it works both ways. Otherwise we wouldn't have competing alternatives to discuss (Uber, cooperatives, taxi companies, solo cabbies... I hear that in Russia it's customary to hail any car on the street and pay for a ride, wit

Parent post explicitly referenced "a high-tech complexity business". Agreed that "high-tech complexity" is not essential to providing a service, indeed it's often antithetical to that goal. Does help with market cap
