I've been running guix on my systems for about two years now. I can comment.

Generally I love guix. As a tool its very ergonomic to use, the documentation is excellent, and the mailing lists are active and informative. As for specifics:

* The CLI is way better than nix's and each command is fully documented and flags are intuitive. `guix install foo` is a lot more intuitive than `nix-env -iA foo`. Nix is in the middle of overhauling its CLI but until that task is complete I personally believe there's no contest.

* Guix has a lot more first party functionality when it comes to importing packages for some languages. If someone's project is in python, ruby, haskell, or ocaml it only takes `guix import fooRepo package` to create a package that isn't yet in guix's package repository. Also this functionality is easily discoverable thanks to guix's excellent documentation. I wish this extended to nodejs projects but that's likely never going to happen.

* There are a number of built-in ways to share guix packages with people who aren't using guix with the command `guix pack`. This has come in handy for me in a number of situations like creating singularity containers for coworkers or trying out stuff they're working on in an isolated environment.

* Speaking of containers, `guix environment` lets me run software in ad-hoc containers.

Now, all of this is great but the desktop experience still leaves much to be desired. The desktop experience has all of the problems running NixOS has except the added trouble of Guix's immaturity. Gnome is only 3.34 while most distros have already migrated to 3.38. Guix has been a pain to run on my laptop, so much so that I've resigned to only use it as a package manager and DevOps tool.
> there are many fine people, myself included, that do not want to see statues of Lincoln torn now.

Who was trying to remove statues of Lincoln? In all the reporting I've seen on this issue I've only seen people trying to remove statues of Confederate generals and leaders. I, like many people, have no problem with these statues being moved into museums. They just shouldn't be public monuments.

I think that's a different question compared to just direct voting on issues and representative democracy.

Layers of government do have their uses. The local counties in my area make larger transit decisions together via another organization, it's something that would be hard to make if the cities had to get together to make each deal.
Barely half have some sort of 401k program and the average holding amount is only $40,000. Nothing to really gloat about.

Earners of $100,000/year or more have 5x the amount in holdings as compared to those earning $99,000 or below.

Only 14% of Americans are invested in individual stocks outside of a 401k program.

401k assets only amount to 17% of the total US retirement.

None of these numbers tell a great story because Americans are not saving for retirement. If they are, they’re barely saving a years worth of their salary.
Is there a way to psychologically assess the positive version? Either a DISC or WAIS subtest score or something similar? (I assume a constructive leader?)
I have never seen a programming language prioritize & obsess over binary size like Go.

I don't see how a blockchain mechanism could prevent some of the fraud being alleged today (all on extremely shaky grounds) like bribing voters or people voting for others.

To answer whether it's okay to not care about politics, we can ask whether it is okay to care about politics less or more than someone else. Of course it is. Not everyone needs to spend 80 hours a week doing political activism. Maybe 10 hours is right for you, maybe 1 hour, maybe zero hours.

I was a "Trumper" 20 years ago. Your comment initially made sense to me. Then I remembered the many wrong and harmful ideas that I recognized and rejected since that time. These ideas lead to real harm for many people.

For example, during Bill Clinton's impeachment trial for sexual harassment of his woman intern, I thought that his behavior was no big deal, that we accept that powerful men like to play around with women, and that the intern knew what she was getting into when she got the job working for him. Later, I realized that I was wrong. Those beliefs enable sexual harassment of women across society. We must reject those beliefs so women can have equal opportunity and good quality of life.

Other wrong ideas that I had:

- Poor people are poor because they are lazy.

- Violent criminals are violent because they don't want to control themselves.

- Unlucky people failed to prepare properly or were careless.

- Gay people are bad for society.

- Men should be breadwinners. Women should be housewives.

- USA is powerful because God is rewarding its Christian citizens for following His rules.

All of these ideas are wrong. These ideas harm people and make our society poorer.

Yes, I can remember my previous thought processes and see the dancer spin the other way, but the dancer is carrying a single-edged sword and spinning the other way way hurts people.
Ozone is toxic. Great at high altitude for reducing UV transmission, not so good on the surface.

ETA: Negative ion generation, done badly, can result in ozone production.
Hadn’t heard of iSH before now, but I just downloaded. Seems likely that this will become another example of Streisand effect!
I got a 92! Pretty neat to look at.

It might also be interesting to see actual correlations between things. Seeing that a particular graph is 0.75 correlated is interesting, sure, but it might be more revealing that a particular graph is as correlated as, say, proportion of citizens in a country with college degrees and Nobel Prizes.
If it takes 30 years to do something, then you’ve not actually done it.
I’m confused about what your disagreeing with - fundamental physics? you’re saying that when you cough, covering your mouth with your hand or arm does nothing? The aerosolized spit and mucous leaving your mouth passes through your hand unaffected by matter? If so, what are you doing wasting your time on HN? You have singlehandedly disproved vast swaths of scientific research, go claim your Nobel prize!

The claim is only that a little piece of cloth in front of your mouth will block some moisture. Less bodily fluids expelled into the environment means less risk of transmitting disease. It’s not perfect but it cost almost nothing and will save peoples lives. Even if it’s only very marginally effective, why would you not suck up the very very small personal discomfort if it would save even a few lives?
They most likely use diesel fuel, given that most are probably relatively smaller vessels. But some ships are “factory ships”, with onboard processing, and those would likely be large enough to hold engines that can take bunker fuel.
Interesting comment. In single shot prisoners dilemma the best strategy for both players are too cooperate remain silent. In iterative prisoners dilemma the best strategy are Tit for tat strategy.

The strategy should be nice not defect before opponent, Retaliating, forging and non envious. How do you make a tit for tat fishing strategy?

No, unfortunately this is wrong.

Monzo only seems to have and login for their business accounts. For personal accounts it's still phone only. And business accounts are a recent addition.

Revolut has login now, but you can't do anything there, except viewing your balance and blocking your card. And this is a new thing, maybe and beta version, otherwise they would have officially announced it somewhere, like in the bragging emails they like to send from time to time.

That's why I say it's not precisely the license requested. But if your aim is to scare off corporations, it works pretty well.
Generally for systems like that (broadly, "games machines" where a lot of the guest software is bare metal, graphics intensive, likely to make strong assumptions either deliberately or accidentally about exact timings of operations and of interactions between different parts of the system) QEMU is not the place to start. QEMU's core use case is really "run Linux", and more generally running guest code which stays within the documented bounds of system functionality, doesn't require much in the way of device support beyond the CPU itself, and which is happy with "runs as fast as possible" behaviour with no accurate emulation of timing.

For a system like the Amiga you will be much better off looking at one of the specifically-an-Amiga-emulator projects.
Teardown Design Notes
The first thing that should be considered is security. I 'm writing this from a computer which has been hacked over and over, and could very well be caught right now in a man in the middle scheme. Once you've got a serious security model baked in, you can start to imagine other things.
All the people who think VScode on Linux is great, and think it's nice that MS money backing github is not risky, and that WSL is cool and we should let them bring DirextX to Linux too.

In isolation any of those could be cool, but some see the totality of it as awesome rather than a full assault.

Ozone is a pretty damaging chemical. It is very reactive with its extra oxygen atom. It can damage living and non-living things, although in small quantities it probably isn't an issue. Ozone is great at high altitudes where it can block some UV light.
Seems unnecessarily pessimistic. Just because there are a few rude looney folks out there doesn’t mean there isn’t an opportunity to make money. Gracious but firm negotiating can get you farther than simply giving up.

Of course it depends on the market value of the work.
Cant imagine how Apple would let this through in the first place but makes sense they would pull it.

I grabbed a copy after reading this and very nice work by the developers but easy to see how an app that lets me install other apps on ios would be banned.
I tried NixOS in a VM a while back and I found it pretty confusing. I liked the idea of having a configuration file that describes the packages installed in the system. The first thing I did was use the CLI to install Firefox, then I found that it didn't update my nix config, nor did there seem to be a CLI command to say "install this and add it to my config".

Instead, it seemed that I had to manually update the nix config. Then, I had to learn the syntax of the language. Then when I figured out the basic, I added Firefox, but it required me to add some parameters (I don't remember the specifics) but I couldn't find any explanation about what those should be for the Firefox package.

I don't understand why they don't have tooling (or didn't at the time) to update your nix config for you.

If they want to convert people over to their way of doing things they have to lower the barriers to entry substantially.

Not too much, but I've also changed my diet, and been affected by some of the "normal" pandemic body weight changes. I'm winding up to do a water weight shed soon so I'll know better then.

Overall though, no obvious bloating. I'd suggest lower dose. I always swirl it in water and take as a solution. link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002DYIZEO/
Please actually read my comment before responding to it - I relaxed my statement to not claim that "ergonomic" was a Boolean value, so I'm not sure why you're still acting as though I am holding that position.

> even if it can be done

It can very obviously be done, as indicated by other commenters in this thread stating that they did.

> If it's confusing, that is a risk to sales.

As I've already stated once before, I'm only discussing how ergonomic the keyboard has - I'm not making any claims about mass-market appeal, so I'm not sure why you're bringing that up.

AGPL requires you to disclose any changes to the source you make to an SaaS. But it allows making money.

If you want to disallow making money you have to use an even stricter license.

Bah, I think that's a perfectly fair response. Arguing against drug trials is simply answered by history.
Patents are broken. But they can perhaps be fixed by effectuating a challenge-period after a patent application starts, whereby the patent can be invalidated if someone comes up with an implementation. Also there should be better protection against trolling, for example by requiring the holder of the patent to have a product implementing that patent. Further, a patent should not provide a strict monopoly on the technology for a given period (blocking competitors), but the rules should be so that anyone can buy a license for a reasonable price.
It's sad. I'm a Linux diehard, but during the pandemic I considered buying an iPad to SSH into my office workstation, browse the web, etc. as I got stuck in an awkward accommodation.

Hardware is great, but the keyboard lacks a dedicated ESC, and I was quite uncomfortable with the fact that terminal apps seem like second rate citizens / not well liked by Apple.

IMHO, there's a lot of untapped potential in the iPad as a programming device if Apple was more reasonable. The alternative Android tablet ecosystem, unlike phones, is total a mess. Samsung has a lot of nice offerings, but software is mediocre and they seem to be really unfocused.

I eventually ended up getting a Surface Go, which is quirky is some regards, but supports Linux really well and is a real computer, not a locked appliance.
Conservatives were saying Trump’s margins would have to be big enough that Dems couldn’t steal it well before election day. It was never a “crazy idea”, it’s been on their minds since the push for vote by mail.
I think the problem I have with the culture shift is that it's not really fair or balanced. Trump supporters get death threats, are called some of the worst names, and are doxxed online. It's been happening for 4 years and the media/tech community just ignores it.

There is even a new website that will be dedicated to doxxing Trump supporters and encouraging 'aggressive protesting' at their home.

This is more about getting rid of your political enemies and taking power than giving a shit about feelings and the way we treat each other, which is why it won't ever stop.

Fraud would be a more worrying concern if they were allowed to photograph ballots.

In some states it's illegal to photograph your own ballot due to concerns of vote selling and coercion.

The distance thing is complicated. I assume it's in reference to Pennsylvania.
6 feet was due to COVID-19 social distancing rules but watchers were actually originally segregated much farther away (at least in Philadelphia).
I think the PA Supreme court overturned the 6 feet thing and watchers are farther away again but unsure.

I don't think PA law actually says how far watchers have to be. https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/li/uconsCheck.cfm...

Some of the complaints are fair. For example, IANAL but the PA law clearly states that mail-in ballots have to be received by election day.

I think we're witnessing the war on general computation being lost: https://archive.org/details/GeneralComputation
Echo what others have said about what a great application this is, and though the price was steep I’ve found its usefulness has paid me back many times over.

My worry about so many applications switching to a subscription model, is that if you ever find yourself in a bad economic situation, and looking for work - then when you need them the most, you may not be able to afford the tools you’ve been depending on.
This is not really an example of that effect. This is just the nature of news. The app won’t somehow become any more used after it’s removed because it’ll be, well, removed.

The issue with patents was that they were used for silly landgrabbing of obvious stuff and locking them up for a long time.

Now that things have matured a bit, I think 5-10 year long patents would be perfectly healthy.
As you enter a bar your phone buzzes. "I just got a Yo from Heineken!" If you're not disgusted at that point by an app tracking your location to sell you things, you will probably be more likely to order a Heineken.

One can tell apple that any application that shows web pages essentially remotely executing code on their device.
> So exposing your internal infrastructure to the whole world and risking a 3rd party (CA) turning the keys (literally) to your kingdom to someone else is better than someone making a mistake that’s very easy to discover and correct?

That's not how certificates work. The CA doesn't have your private key. They could theoretically sign a fake certificate with your hostname but that risk is still present if you use a private CA and is mitigated by certificate transparency

I think the part you're missing is that unlike in the western cultures, there are places where relationships with your friends and family are far more important than anything else. Like think how to someone living in the US(usually) it's inconceivable to live in one place with 3 generations of people, grandparents, parents and kids, friends nearby. But to these cultures that's where the strength lies, you help them they help you.

But in these cultures it's also incredibly important to be seen as "doing well for yourself". You will see people from these cultures will frequently(for instance) drive a Mercedes, just because that means you've achieved something in life. Doesn't matter the Mercedes in question is 20 years old and on bald tires, it's a Mercedes, parents and grandparents can now say they are proud of you. It increases your social standing. Likewise, if you manage to buy an iPhone, that can be seen a an achievement(even if the iPhone is fake, what matters is people think you can afford an iPhone). Then in turn, if you are seen as successful(by the virtue of having those expensive things) you get better social opportunities, for employment, education, housing....it's almost cliche, but in some places having an iPhone, a good car and a gold chain(all fake of course) can really and measurably improve your standard of life.

Like, have you never seen a movie where a person emigrates to a wealthy country, and writes/calls the family back home saying "oh yeah I have my own bed, a car, a TV and a mobile phone! We eat meat every night" and like at home , that's incredibly impressive, even though to me or you that's just normal stuff.

Please cut the smug attitude. I’m trying my best not to engage with this kind of low-brow personal attack.

> Over the following years they worked to become a legitimate party, entered government, and did not actually need to engage in direct violence to attain the absolute control that was desired.

This is just flat wrong. You’re ignoring the violent intimidations of the SA during the entire decade from 1920-1930.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmabteilung

> Throughout the 1920s and into the 1930s, members of the SA were often involved in street fights, called Zusammenstöße (collisions), with members of the Communist Party (KPD).
I recently bought this and found both the physics and graphics along with the raytracing to be excellent and what many have dreamed of, even on a 1080TI (non RTX card). I've played though the first level, however the sandbox mode is the most fun!
I think it was around 1988 in NL when I obtained a DTMF-gagdet for very little money, probably intended for operating answering machines remotely.

However, while the Dutch pay-phone booths had their rotary-dial blocked by the pay-mechanism, the line was 'open'. We called all around the world, in particular to Japan because apparently this was the most expensive ( rates were listed in the phone book ).

Around this time I also did my share of 'war calling' with my first modem ( I forgot the proper term ). Memory is hazy, but I recall hitting some prompts, but had no idea what to do, I had never seen a Unix or similar.

Around the same time, I read the C bible while on a camping holiday with my parents. I remember it was though material for a 14 year old. I owned an Acorn Electron at the time.
