You don’t have to reboot to adjust configuration or update. At least not with NixOS, don’t know much about other immutables.

Why not an immutable OS for servers? It seems like an even better choice for servers than for a desktop to me. It’s basically just like docker/containers but for your whole OS, configuration-wise.
I love my declarative NixOS servers/systems, and would never go back to imperative setups, it just seems archaic. The only exception I have (for now) is my pfSense router, as I don’t trust myself enough to setup a secure router.
Probably bleached too much? She always strikes me as uncanny because she comes across as the female Zuckerberg to me.


Well yes, that data source is called stockholders. They eed to ride the hype. Honestly they really don’t have much choice. Either make the users happy or the stockholders. They can’t do both, it’s impossible at this stage. Want to guess which side wins?


I can’t even finish the trailer with how boring and stale it looks. Calling it pretty forgettable is stating it nicely… I’m convinced this game will be released and nobody will even notice. He even sounds bored out of his mind himself.
Maybe there is a market of mobile gamers gone PC that he’s trying to capture, much like Godus? I don’t see how this will entice anyone else.
Basically he has no clout left, even though I still wish for a good Black and White sequel, B&W 2 doesn’t count.


Personally I probably wouldn’t advise NixOS to someone new to Linux. I think it’s best to get familiar with how linux does things in a more conventional setup first. And then transition to a declarative setup. But it kinda depends on the person as well, and how willing they are to learn and how comfortable they are with writing such a config.
That said, I would be very curious how the switch straight from Windows to NixOS would be experienced by someone. So if you do so, feel free to post your experience on the NixOS community :)
This is why I stopped using Gnome. After every update most of my extensions stopped working. Some took ages to get up to date or were abandoned. And there was no simple way to enable all extensions that the update disabled, having to manually enable them one by one. Maybe that has changed now? It’s been yearsnow… Not that I would go back anyway, tiling managers is where it’s at.


Woops typo, fixed


Seems like idle hope after the vast amount of crap he already pulled off and they still support him. I don’t see releasing the files making a dent. The fact he’s so hesitant to release them should already be enough and that doesn’t seem to sway them.
They will just downplay it. Or say, see others did it too, so they are all equality bad, so Trump is still the better option. That swamp isn’t going to get drained before mass riots or civil war breaks out.


Sand paper wouldn’t really help. They could just cut a part in half. But yeah no way in hell this will ever end up in any of the open source printer firmwares. So it’s a moot point.
If string return nan, else % 2
So now you return a number type if it’s a string and a boolean if it’s an integer. How does that make sense?
The is-even lib exists to sanitize input by throwing an exception which imho is better.
Edit: having looked at the code better. Apparently it still allows string coercion (boo). It only checks for non integer numbers.
To be fair in a dynamic typed language with dumb string to int coercions, I kinda get why such a library would exists. So it’s more a symptom of terrible language design than modern dependency hell.


I did, but I couldn’t remember it. so thanks!


In c style languages, Java, c++, rust, etc.
Well I concede, I guess there was one metric they were better at. Doing absolutely nothing.
Was that even true for comparable CPU’s? I feel this was only for their N100’s etc.


If they so said have no math or spatial reasoning then OpenSCAD is the last tool for them to try.
I honestly don’t get why anyone would have bought an Intel in the last 3-4 years. AMD was just better on literally every metric.
I never really worked much with rpm-ostree, besides a short stint with Bazzite. But never really customized it, so I don’t really know how that experience is. But I would encourage you to look into NixOS (or something else not image based) whenever you feel to experiment with another immutable. It’s very nice for servers.
