I'm not going to download an app for every company I do business with. It's as simple as that. I'm not going to download an app to order food from your restaurant. I'm not going to download an app to operate an appliance

There are so many people complaining about the Nix language while offering zero constructive criticism. I was a little skeptical about them using a custom language at first. But then as I used it more it grew on me and I understand why it i

I've never liked the idea of my display having an integrated computer. Especially one I don't control. This non-sense just furthers that. Displays last a long time. Eventually the computer will become outdated especially if compan

Ruby doesn't have real modules. You're right, that they are just namespaces. They are global variables with extra typing. If you use a third party library, when you require something, you have no idea what "modules" or o

Mail out ballots then require an ID when you turn it in. Make it easier to get an ID if that's a problem. It seems pretty simple to me. Not sure why anyone would be against this.

"We do have to consider the undo-functionality and that the toast feedback can be useful when using keyboard shortcuts." There's nothing more infuriating than going to click undo and the toast disappears.

That's not how that works. It's 50 degrees hotter not 50 degrees as the temperature. Celsius goes up at a rate of 5/9 what fahrenheit does so it's about 28 degrees Celsius.

I can't tell you the number of times I see a project and think to myself "NixOS already solves that problem but better."

What's adds to that annoyance is that the only way to navigate the games is a "prev" link. There's no way to jump directly to a game or go to the next game. This means every day it becomes more time consuming to get to t

I can confirm that scrolling through replies does count. So reading the replies to Elon's tweets to figure out what's happening makes you hit the rate limit.

This has to be the dumbest idea I've ever seen any social media company make and that says a lot. First, I can't find any documentation explaining the rate limits. Just his tweet. Is this a rolling limit? Where do I see how many p

They might not be able to find someone to pay that rent. In which case they might be forced to sell. Ideally someone who doesn't own a home will purchase it and won't have to pay the tax that caused the original owner to sell.

You don't have to specify the nixosConfiguration name (e.g ~/flake#my-configuration)? Do you just name it "default" or something for that to work? I've never tried that.

As a nix user I agree. Nix needs to make flakes stable ASAP. It creates a lot of confusion for new users and friction for getting started. "Do I use the thing that's deprecated but stable or the thing that's unstable but is t

I'm just thankful we have free speech on social media and that the government never interferes to censor people.

Has anyone gone through the thought exercise of what governments could do with such a thing if it existed? Oh wait, that's what you said.
