The limiting factor on speed-tests when you have 10-25 Gbps internet is WiFi. That’s what this is more likely showing.

Thomas Aquinas believed cruelty to animals was wrong not because animals have souls (and with that all the standard moral rights), but because it can teach us cruelty to other humans.

Yeah, I heard Jane Street disables even cache.nixos.org, and I think that's very sensible (but a pity...).

It’s still helpful to eg fold different phases in Nix, and different derivation output. I work on garnix.io, which is exactly a Nix-based CI alternative for GitHub, and we had to build a lot of these small things to make the experience bett

We also do something similar at garnix, but when enabling incremental builds. Instead of just skipping the build stage, we also “normalize” the eval into just the store path, and skipping it the second time around. Mentioned in passing in

Yeah, nix on macOS can be a pain… You might be too deeply scarred to come close to it, but we just wrote a blog post about deploying NixOS servers without installing nix locally or provisioning work here that feels relevant: https:/&#

Garn [0] is most of that: simpler CLI, and Typescript for configuration, though lying on top of Nix. (Disclaimer: I work on garn) [0] https://github.com/garnix-io/garn

It’s to allow interpolation of packages and environments. But in practice we don’t use it that often, so we were thinking of switching the main function to using just a second string argument. (In other words, I agree.)

Resveratrol is "as close to a miraculous molecule as you can find." NAD+ “is the closest we’ve gotten to a fountain of youth.” Both quoted in an excellent article on Sinclair: https://www.bostonmagazine.com/health&

This is coming from David Sinclair, who claimed resveratrol was the fountain of youth (it wasn't, but he still managed to sell his resveratrol company for hundreds of millions), and pushed rather hard also on NAD/NMN despite only

There are lots of advantages and disadvantages to both, and use cases where one or the other shines. A proper response would probably be a blog post in length, but in brief, I find that Nix really makes everything explicit. You can see the

You need to get caching right if the builds aren't going to take forever, which is a bit of work, especially since smart GC is hard, and it can be slow (the nix store gets big very quickly!). Then you also would ideally provide that ca

I think you're absolutely right that there are nuances such as what you described. More: I imagine there are very few offices/homes that run completely on clean energy - in the most naive formulation of the license, no one could t
