Not the person you're asking, but I use nix on my MacBook and ditched brew after a few weeks. The main draw for me was that I was already using home-manager on NixOS, and being able to share the same config on macOS was pretty compelli

I personally think the odds are pretty good that Asahi ends up supporting the M1 series longer than macOS. Apple isn't shy about cutting off support for old hardware; the current version of macOS won't run on any machine more than

Perhaps the author assumes that a child with a deep interest in rust Unicode edge cases has likely been on the internet before, and may well have been exposed to the existence of sex?

Can you meaningfully compare revenues for an illegal class of products to a legal one? It also doesn't follow that the money spent on either class is evenly distributed across the population.

Great advice. Everyone should be sure to follow all the rules, especially the secret ones they don't know about.

You can run i3 via WSL if you use an alternate X server like X410 or vcxsrv instead of the built-in wayland RDP bridge thing. vcxsrv is a bit nicer, since it lets you run the X display in fullscreen mode.

Hmm, my edit below erased my original comment, as I wasn't paying attention... Anyway, the gist is that NixOS runs great in Parallels, using the patched parallels-tools module from this nixos config: https://github.com/

I run NixOS in Parallels, and it's super nice. I copied a config from https://github.com/wegank/nixos-config/tree/main/hardware/pa... for an updated parallels-tools package, for things like cop

I'm so confused at how you managed to be insulted by the parent comment. Someone else finding value in liberal arts education is not an attack on those that don't.

I'm hoping that we see more reflective LCD displays in the future. There's a 32 inch 1080p panel by Sun Vision that seems pretty remarkable, but I'm holding out hope for more pixel density, etc. If you haven't seen it, t

My mistake - I was thinking of the old Beats X, but I guess that's discontinued now that the Flex is on the scene.

An article from 2020 [1] claims that they had "32,000 linux computers" in orbit. At that time they had 480 satellites in orbit, so ~66 "computers" per satellite. That would put us at about 180,000 computers today. [1]:

The “god as first cause” argument feels like a stack overflow. It’s just what happens when you infinitely recurse a cause and effect chain. If you don’t want to spend rest of your life evaluating it, you eventually just give up and `throw n

I would love to see a "guided tour of nixpkgs," using real-world packages as examples and building up in complexity as you go. I feel like so many of the problem I encounter as a new nix user have been neatly solved already and th

It's funny how your brain is able to convince you that the immediate consequence of "get fired" is "become poor," even though you have a five year buffer in which to regroup. I'm afraid there's simply no a

Thanks for your blog! I've learned a ton of great stuff (especially about Nix / NixOS) and it's always fun to read.

I have a Varjo Aero, which is visually excellent but very expensive and probably not portable enough for your use case. The problem is that it depends on Valve’s lighthouse trackers, so unless you’re willing to pack one and a tripod in your

What do you do when you meet an androgynous person whose gender isn't immediately obvious? If they introduce themselves as female, do you take their word for it, or do you first need to inspect their genitals to make sure you're n

It's not so much about the Java code itself. When your Java app needs to talk to a database, it's convenient to be able to write integration tests against a running instance of the real DB. Ideally you'd also have a light-wei

Well, we don't have anything like a coherent understanding of the architecture of biological general intelligence either, so at least this won't be a particularly new state of affairs.
