You cannot use Nix package definitions with Guix. You can, however, easily extend or modify Guix packages. New package definitions can inherit from existing ones and override fields that you may want to change.

There is also an API for rewriting dependencies recursively:

You can also use Nix as a package manager on top of a Guix system (and vice versa).
>> He called them “gettiers” for short. So we used to talk about gettiers all the time, no doubt in part just because it felt clever to talk about them, but also because when you’re a programmer, you run into things that feel like Gettier cases with unusual frequency.

Sometimes I think that is what philosophers are doing - feeling clever - perhaps as a defense against some negative inner problem (psychology is an outgrowth of philosophy after all). The whole cow story stinks of telling someone "you're right, but you're also WRONG! Your perception of reality is BROKEN!". To me knowledge is simply having a model of the world that can be used to make useful predictions and communicate (and some other things). Aside from that, it doesn't matter if your model is "grounded in reality" until it fails to work for you, at which time it can be helpful to realize your knowledge (model) needs adjustment.

One way to resolving the authors first software issue would be to check a diff between what he committed and the previous production revision - this would quickly uncover the changes he "didn't make". This is an old lesson for me - what I changed may not be limited to what I think I changed. It's a lesson in "trust but verify". There are any number of ways to view it, but in the end we only care about ways that lead to desired outcomes weather they're "right" or not.

On a related note, I've found that software is one of the only places where there is a "ground truth" that can be examined and understood in every detail. It's completely deterministic (given a set of common assumptions). I've found the real world - and people in particular - to not be like that at all.

Don't believe me? You're using a computer right now.

This is the absolute #1 downside of this country, and I say that as someone who would probably be counted as one of the elite for having gone to Cambridge. I did not however go to Oxford and do PPE, which is the prerequisite course for running the country.

Outside of central London a lot of bus companies either have their own card system or none at all, of course the card for one company rarely works with others.
London is one of the most unequal cities on the planet. You get this surreal mix of wealthy billionaires and poor migrants living hand to mouth. The upper classes protect and segregate themselves from the riff-raff through pricing. My experience was that London is not actually a community, the cultural and socioeconomic rifts are so profound that random people seldom interact, there is little small talk to be had with strangers.

Tourists thoroughly enjoy the central areas but seldom realize they could never afford a home there of any decent size.
The metal ones are - the concrete ones less so.

Indeed. Central London transportation works, almost all of the time, and has a good layout, but it's not the greatest metro in the world.

Of course the rest of the UK looks at London's well funded bus and tube network the same way we look at Tokyo, a symbol of unattainable perfection.

If you exclusively SCP to servers you control, this is admittedly a low priority issue.

However some companies use SCP extensively as a way to exchange data files (as an upgrade from using FTP, and out of frustration from dealing with implicit/explicit FTPS modes). Healthcare and finance come to mind for those use cases.

Ask HN: Good templates for documenting software security?
We've been mostly creating our own ad-hoc documents to answer these questions for current/potential clients, but I'm looking for a template that we could re-use and have a company standard document to answering the typical questions we get:

- What data will be collected, how?

- How it will be treated?

- Who is it shared with?

- Integrity in maintenance, period of maintenance, backups, etc.

- Management of access to data, etc.

So looking for templates, anything that works for small startups without going too deep into technical details and standards would be great.

Exactly, one ontology of knowledge is: pointers (names), categories (matchers/recognizers), models (descriptions of systems).

The first two have all the problems philosophers talk about. But the last one does not. Not even underdeterminism, unless the system of the model is fundamental or fades into history or is a "wicked" problem.

We always serve full historic RSS. If we didn't, there would be no way for most listeners to consume the old audio. When you use a third party service like mine, you either need to use the website that I provide for that back catalog (a bad experience for the listener) or jump through hoops to maintain a separate copy of each episode on your own website so it's still available if the feed is truncated. In neither world is that a decent experience for the content producer or the listener.
>I don’t think I’ve ever been more incensed than when I learned Harley Davidsons are quiet out of the factory and people make them loud. And while I can get a ticket for something trivial, I’ve never heard of someone getting a ticket for riding a motorcycle or car that’s obnoxiously loud and can be heard a mile away

They're not exactly quiet from the factory but people make them loud because thanks to the Doppler effect you need to be really loud for someone in a vehicle beside you to hear you (and they're unlikely to consciously see you if they want to move over because their brain isn't used to checking for objects that are motorcycle sized).

I've been living in central London (zone 1) for 3 years now and never had any issue (nor my partner, nor anybody I know).
It might also be due to the area being touristy or not.

I remember a crime map (I can't find out this link anymore...) showing that the side of London bridge which faces Tower Bridge had a high crime rate whereas the other side was absolutely safe. So if you want to cross London Bridge without taking a picture of Tower Bridge, pick the correct side :)

London is a big city though. As most big cities, I would never expect it to be totally safe.

> Testimonial privilege (against being forced to testify) is about not being made to say / speak statements against your own prosecution. Speech. Testimony.

As the article states, polygraph results are (were) legally considered testimony. That's the results, not what you actually said. So "testimony === speech" is incorrect at both the practical and the legal level. This court is simply saying that your fingerprint is much closer to testimony than it is to objective chemical proof of a crime, as in your blood draw DUI/DWI example.
> I think the reason for this is that our brains just generally don't operate on a rational basis because it's not practical for humans.

But that is an ideology! That isn't even wrong, what's wrong is to say that's the opposite of logic.

> We have to rely on preformed perspectives when it comes to certain broad perspectives.

That is generally true, but if the perspective is limited, we start speculating, making and testing assumptions. That's not an ideology per se. The thing with ideology is that long distance planning requires to stick with one theory to see it through. That's why discipline, form and idea are somewhat synonymous. Think about when somebody says someone had no clue. And corollary, different people might partially succeed with different attempts and reach different conclusions. These might be mutually exclusive, if leaning on probabilistic arguments, or just not evidently the same, if it's not obvious how to correlate the experiences. These are different meanings of ideology and the contradictory sense is rather euphemistic or derogatory.

> Another reason is that it's almost necessary to adopt your group's perspectives in order to fit in

That might be dogmatism and virtue signaling, which to a degree signals subordination. That's less than ideal, but the alternative fight to death is often farther from optimal.

The other day I was annoyed at my allergies, in winter, with snow coming down and reflecting on how I never had allergies until around 30 a few years back. Bees. Bees dying. Bees eat pollen. It seems many of my friends have far worse allergies than previously...

What if we are already seeing consequences of insects dying off, like bees for example. I need to find time to try and see if there is good data on allergies, if there has been a general increase, and how it matches up with bee die off and pollen count. Is it possible that bees not being around to use pollen, has caused pollen count to go up on average, which is causing more allergy issues with humans?

And what happens if mosquitoes start dying off, we have chocolate because mosquitoes are one of the few pollinators that can pollinate the cacao tree due to the small size.

India’s Dangerous New Curriculum
Yeah, there's a real .. bimodality? to NHS service users. A small fraction of people, usually elderly and/or disabled, with essentially infinite health problems, take up most of the time. Everyone else has to fit in around them.

Often their inability to keep appointments is inextricably linked to the medical condition, too - either physical or mental. Often it's linked to poverty or insecure living too.

We could start trying to price them out, which will at the margin result in someone dying of a preventable condition. This seems to be becoming more politically acceptable (see benefits system, food banks, refugees etc), but it's also something people are right to be squeamish about.
