In practice this is less of a concern for a few reasons: - They often designate items as "freeleech," which means that downloading does not cost you ratio, but uploading still credits you. - They often provide free credits at vari

I think the only downside with the musl binary is that there can be a performance hit compared to libc, which may or may not be an issue for a terminal text editor. I also echo some of the comments here saying it's entirely reasonable

A particular highlight of n+1 for me was issue 11, which contained a retrospective review of the site Pitchfork[1], an essay chronicling the author's experience at their first Gathering of the Juggalos[2], and an excerpt of Helen DeW

You're not necessarily wrong, but the phrase "push a narrative," the scare quotes around "qualitative data," and your initial comment suggest to me that you are not familiar with qualitative research but have a bias

This is a qualitative methods paper, so statistical significance is not relevant. The rough qualitative equivalent would instead be "data saturation" (responses generally look like ones you've received already) and "them

There are a few broad reasons this can happen. One possibility is that they want to know if the treatment causes suicidal ideation, and the effect is often small enough that people more likely to report those symptoms independent of the tre

A lot of work about packaging specifics reads like inside baseball because it is. Most people manage to avoid getting into the specifics of packaging because it’s stuff that mostly gets in the way of the problem they’re trying to solve. But

The coffee is made with the assistance of AI, which means some nonzero portion will be something other than coffee, but at least it means every sip is an adventure.

Tempo's a backend/sink for traces, but if you click through to the Tempo docs and find out how to generate tracing data[1], you learn that you have two options: OpenTelemetry, which they recommend, and Zipkin, which they do not re

I'm not sure if this approach is being used already or even viable, but there are good tools for the following: - creating minimal OCI images from Nix packages - creating microvms from OCI images There are certainly some tradeoffs with

If you're attending BazelCon I'd love to have a chat with you about this stuff in some more detail. (If you're not I'd still love to have a chat!)

I've been wondering idly if it's possible for Nix to support the Bazel Remote Execution API that seems to be catching on[1] more generally. [1] https://github.com/bazelbuild/remote-apis?tab=readme-ov-file...

I'm on my third (long story) Bolt, I would pick it three more times if I could, and I'm certain that I've sold more Bolts than most GM salesmen, so my comment was more familiar snark than anything. I have done the trips into

I'd seen some rumors that Tesla has been trying to slow down onboarding of other automakers to their charging network, so it's good to see information to the contrary. I still struggle to see how this ends up favorable for Tesla i

I didn't use the word "stagnation," and "recession" has a core definition that is pretty broadly accepted[1]. I have no opinion on whether or not the recent dip merits a recession, but it is not enough to define one

I'm curious what the point of this piece is. If the goal is to sell the author's book, it has not done a great job of selling it to me. There's a lot of information missing here, and it is not clear to me that the author has

One problem tools like these tend to have, to take Amplify as an example, is that they turn what might be a complicated problem served by heterogeneous tools and glue code into a very narrow happy path solution and dragons in all other dire

Python building, packaging and deployment has two extreme states: the king's highway and the hall of a thousand knives. If the portable Python suggestions do not make sense to you, then consider yourself lucky, because you have managed

There are a few things this is responding to, but since it does not provide the context directly, here they are (by no means exhaustive): - Anduril dropped as NixCon sponsor: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37418351 -

That's been my experience as well. It lacks support for certain clone(2) flags like CLONE_VFORK[1], which limits the set of non-trivial programs it can run, and since running non-trivial programs is most of the point, I haven't re

Sure, and this is all fine, but it feels like this information gets buried or smoothed-over, and I think you strengthen your position by leading with it as a differentiator. Nobody new to Nix knows what targeting 2.3 means, but they likely

> Tvix explicitly targets stable Nix features, so supporting Flakes is a non-goal. Except that it rolls its own CA store[1], which is also not a stable Nix feature. One could argue that it has to roll its own store because Nix wants to o

It's worth noting that tvix explicitly[1] does not support flakes. [1] https://lobste.rs/s/ypwgwp/tvix_we_are_rewriting_nix#c_zvtze...

In a sense, OTel is a big threat to Datadog, so I can imagine slow-rolling support is one way to manage that without looking actively hostile to it, similarly to how Datadog has other OTel "support" that doesn't play nicely w

Thanks for the response, Graham. I think I'm still missing something. By all accounts, I and my organization should be in your target market, but there are a few barriers: - I've achieved significant adoption of Nix for a great ma

It might help to describe how I employ this. I own the build and infra for a fairly large monorepo, and I moved all of the deps to Nix. I have a few ways to source/build things: - A bare image with just Nix can pull the deps from a cac
