Oh my. I hadn't noticed this, but I've been kind of expecting it. I've been a big SourceHut user for years now. So I'll be having to decide what to do myself. I absolutely get their stance, but I don't see a world i

I also have been preferring kimik2.7 more than GLM5.2. I'm interested to give this a try.

wow… this is seriously cool.

That's actually a pretty reasonable description I think. I mean, in the semi-serious way. But I was just talking to some colleagues of mine about how one can get attached to or invested in code that they hand wrote, even though that co

i've done that as well. but turns out, for me, i'd rather do it manually most of the time.

I'm a recent jj convert, and working with llms was actually a driver for my own jj adoption. I haven't tried the watch daemon, but I do run `jj new` anytime i ask the llm agent to do anything. It has worked amazingly well.

I'm still hype about WASM. This looks like a cool release. I'm running some pretty high traffic WASM plugins on envoy, running some plugins for terminal apps (zellij), and for one of my toy side projects, I'm running a wasm w

I really like gleam. I have a few unfinished side projects in gleam with about 10k lines of code, so I've had enough of a taste to know I like it. I can't wait to see how it matures. I plan to write more gleam in the future. I am

I use search engines every day (primarily kagi). But I will use a fast llm with a search tool for some things, like providing context about a news story etc, (primarily gemini 2.0 flash with "grounding" on).

Yes! A physical book and ebook bundle would be awesome.

by mistahchris 2y ago
I did the exact same thing. I'm back to buying real books, but I will say I still use my ereader in situations without good lighting or where the book is just too cumbersome. Sometimes that means I get the book twice which is suboptima

Personally, I think you are very sane for considering leaving FANG for ethical reasons. Of course, in our economic system, there isn't any fully ethical way to participate at all. But in my opinion, there are other good jobs that pay w

If you haven't yet, check out https://devenv.sh (super powered nix shell and more). It's pretty nice for python packages and installs your requirements to a project local venv for you via whatever tool you want (pip, p

I was a kindle user and recently switched to Pocketbook. I’ve been buying new ebooks from ebooks.com which are often already drm free. For me, there haven’t been any downsides.

I use calibre-web and love it.

locked mode is my fav as well. I used it to re-make a DoomEmacs-like workspace with helix.

I love vterm. It's so good.

by mistahchris 4y ago
Same for me. I've been using emacs now for several years after being a long time vim user. I have never missed vim after switching. Emacs is amazingly powerful. And I never got to a point where Doom felt limiting. I only ever need to m

I have used plain nixpkgs, poetry2nix and mach-nix for packaging "real" projects. My biggest take away is that python packaging is a hot mess. This isn't exactly news that no one has heard before though. The initial work for

Wow that is cool. I have been wanting to build both a router and a NAS and run nixos on them since I run nixos for everything else I do. Thanks for writing and sharing about your experience!

by mistahchris 4y ago
Yep. Note that there's nothing you need to do to configure display resolution in UTM / qemu. You do need the spice guest tools installed in your nixos vm though. The only thing you should need to do is set the resolution in whatev

This has been my experience as well. I was nervous to start depending on NixOs for my work, but when I started at a new company ~2 years ago, I decided that was a good time to dive in. I have absolutely not regretted it. My setup is far les

by mistahchris 4y ago
I agree. I've mentioned this elsewhere in this thread, but I just wanted to second that I've found running nixos as a vm through UTM has been a flawless experience for me. I have a fairly complicated setup for a bunch of different

by mistahchris 4y ago
This is true, but in my experience it has mostly been pretty easy to deal with. Generally it's just a matter of re-linking /etc/zprofile and friends to the ones from the nix-darwin installer (if you're using nix-darwin,

by mistahchris 4y ago
For all of my personal machines, I use NixOS (both hardware and in cloud machines). But for work, we have a soft-MacOS mandate. On that m1 macbook pro, I run nix-darwin for the mac specific settings I want, and packages that I run in macos,

This looks excellent. I've wanted something like this before but wasn't aware of this extension. Thanks for sharing :)

I've been using fastmail for a few years and have had no deliverability issues. Previously I was hosting my own mail and decided to switch because of deliverability. And before that, I was using gmail. I really like fastmail and recomm

Agreed. In my experience bike commuting on a road with "sharrows" provoked a lot of anger from drivers. I don't fully avoid them because I'm a fairly aggressive city cyclist, but I don't prefer them and most of the

I'm also a very happy fastmail user. I don't use the calendar or contacts feature either. But I use the webapp a lot on mobile and it's quite good. I don't even need to download the native app for my phone.
