   Thanks OP, I have been looking for this specific comic for a while! This feels very accurate to reality.

   I concede that [3] is not the best case of this reading more into it. My point still stands though. If visitors are one immigration mistake away from weeks in a detention camp, or any other unjust punishment it's reasonable that visito

   I miss PyCon US a lot and I'm sad I can't go. As a Canadian, recent USA ICE government actions have made it really hard for me to attend. No conference is worth getting thrown in an ICE detention camp. This actually has happened t

   I had a professor in university that would do this pre-LLM. He would take the first result on google and modify his problem to be slightly different. Students that copied from google were easy to find and missed a key part of the problem.

   https://github.com/srid/nixci Is this the project or is this a completely different Nix based CI/CD tool? I can't find a Github or anything on the website.

    Unfortunately, one of the only things that is proven to convince vaccine skeptics is when someone from their community dies of a preventable illness. This is a great book on this topic: https://www.amazon.com/Anti-vaxxers-Ho

    Anyone have any experience improving performance of their Strudel patches? I find I get close to something ready to perform... but then the webapp starts struggling and I find myself back at the drawing board. I get the sense I'm not u

    This is a great plugin! It's so cool to do this in a vim workflow.

    This is cool, though I'm reluctant to give praise when they have been so weird with Linux support on their games. It was annoying after buying Rust to learn that you can't play on official servers on Linux. The game runs fine on L

    I agree with this sentiment. Perhaps this is why there is such a senior / junior divide with LLM use. Seniors already build their theories. Juniors don't have that skill.

    For me, the success is having a simple way to prompt an Agent AI to modify my NixOS desktop and get live feedback. It can use the above MCP to search NixOS options and packages for me and make recommendations and edit the actual files, rebu

    For stuff that's not in Nixpkgs like this, IMO flakes is the best option. Both of these require flakes. On the topic of deploying flakes to consumer users. I'm currently exploring using https://github.com/nix-commu

    Wow Anthropic is not having a good week. Claude code appears to retry 10 times! They are probably getting DDoSed by all the clients which sounds like a total mess. I don't envy the people fixing this right now. Edit: working in Canada

    I enjoyed Infinite Jest. I think it's good book if you are someone who HAS to know all the details. The book itself criticizes this way of thinking, while letting you in the all the details you could want. (the footnotes especially) I
