The big idea in Nix is the view that the filesystem is like mutable memory in a programming language.

You wouldn't give access to memory raw without any safeguards.
(Typical package managers can just arbitrarily dump files or remove files)

It takes a structured approach. Laying over a graph database on top of your filesystem which is read-only typically.

This helps provide guarantees and also every application has its own hermetic sealed dependency closure.

Nix is truly revolutionary and it's getting steady adoption. Give it a read if you don't know about it. You can adopt it on any Linux distro without using the full NixOS.

I write a lot about it on my blog.
I have to admit, voice assistants don't interest me much, but this looks like a pretty cool start to something that seems to be needed and lacking in the realm of voice assistants.

I'd like to see this gain traction and grow. Just because of the amount of people that seem to use and like voice assistants it's great to see some work on the open source, non-proprietary cloud side of things.

I also have to admit, I find most of thr current voice assistant technology vaguely creepy knowing every command is possibly stored and saved somewhere outside my control. The fact the systems that do this are constantly listening for phrases and of course the inevitable use of your data for marketing that these services are based on.

I understand the choices seem to be either pay for it or pay with your privacy and data, but I still hold out the naive hope for a technology based future focused on empowering individuals and not service providers and large corporations, sadly it seems this mostly comes from the open source world, which as many articles on hn have touched on, don't tend to get the support they need or they get picked up by large entities who take what they need and surround them by proprietary blobs.

Sorry this got a bit rambling, but anyway, this is a cool project, I hope to see it grow and gain support and adoption.
To be clear, the reason for this and why it was different wasn’t because of the capitol attack alone. It was also because he appeared to capitulate and abandon the people who did it and supported it. That group took it as a sign he wasn’t the leader they thought he was and betrayed them. Now that he has been martyred and has re-rebelled against the tech companies, threatening to create a new platform, that is over.
I agree authoritarianism is dangerous. I also agree that authoritarian dystopias can be driven not just by governments, but also by powerful corporations. I don't really see too much of an important distinction between either. This banning is effectively authoritarianism - just not perpetrated by a government (directly - but possibly indirectly to appease the new administration/govt by a large corp). I think we should be just as concerned about this as if it were perpetrated by a govt.
I use Void now and like not having systemd. Can I install Nix on my Void? Do I then just stop using the native package manager?

Or would it be better to install NixOS? Could I then choose not to use systemd? Would that be hard?

Is the idea that you can define your system in a file and reproduce it more or less automatically?

How does this compare to Guix?
I generally end up writing a script like this everytime I need a non-throwaway domain. List of roots, maybe lists of prefixes/suffixs, etc. If I'm feeling ambitious, I throw in an automated whois lookup :-P

> I run a Mastodon instance.

So do I! fist-bump

> ...cited the fact that he was German and that German law outlawed various speech related to Nazism.

This would be relevant for any Mastodon service hosted in Germany right?

> The creator of Mastodon is actively against the concept of free speech....

Woah, you lost me there. Free speech (at least within a common society) cannot be the irrevocable right to say whatever you want with no consequences. If people do not want to hear what you have to say, why should they be forced to listen? My understanding of Gargon's (creator of Mastodon) position is that he prioritizes localizing moderation responsibilities so that the decision of what kind of speech should be "free" is not made centrally. That seems like a reasonable position to me.

Honestly I was fascinated by how the drama of Gab and the fediverse played out. It seemed like a really good test of the core goals and ideals of the whole Mastodon/fediverse project. No one could stop Gab from creating a Mastodon instance (per the decentralized design and open source software). However, other Mastodon servers moved quickly to block any interaction between Gab.com and their servers. This was decentralized moderation at work. Each instance could make the decision for themselves.

The various client apps that chose to explicitly refuse to connect to accounts on Gab's instance was another really interesting move to me. Personally, I don't generally like to try and tell users of the apps I develop how they should or should not be used. However, I respect the rights of other project maintainers to develop their apps as they see fit. And once again, the beauty of open source software is that if you don't like how a certain project is being maintained, you can fork it! (And that is just what happened with those Masto apps, where several were forked to reenable access to Gab accounts).

It could, depending on your use case, but normally all packages from nixpkgs share the same libcurl, so when libcurl is updated, all packages that depend on it will also be updated.

The old libcurl will still exist on your system to allow you to rollback to previous states of your system, but you can always run nix-collect-garbage if you want to free up disk space.

This is similar to the situation in Arch Linux where pacman keeps all downloaded packages, and you have to run paccache if you want to free space.
Turchin discusses this here: http://peterturchin.com/cliodynamica/prophecy-fourth-turning...
Power companies are considered a monopoly because they have a special right of way to run their lines. I can't just put my own power lines up on the high tension lines that run over state owned land, or the telephone poles that run down city owned streets.

And from a practical standpoint, depending on how _much_ power you need there may be no other way to get power to your property besides the grid.

None of that applies to Amazon. For every service they offer, there's an alternative available.
Parallels has been around for a while... I used it to play the homeworld franchise years ago but more recently I have used bootcamp. Not sure about performance on M1 tho.
Get in a group. Work is a good place to do this. Pick out some books, send a mail round saying that you are running a tech book group. Get folks together and read a chapter a week (this is hard in reality - be cool with everyone and sometimes let chapters slip over a few weeks). Every week someone leads the discussion. Every week someone volunteers to do the next weeks. You meet for an hour to discuss.
I think the extremes are straw men. The choice isn't between "duct tape" or "oven-engineering." It's between poor and good design.

A well designed solution doesn't feel like duct tape, nor should it be "too clever" with a crazy multiple-inheritance architecture that no one but the author can understand.

In fact, it sounds like the extremes described in this article are both crap developers, with different flavors of crap on the menu.

I insist on solid engineering. Nothing that feels like duct tape, but nothing that approaches over-engineering either. Easy to understand and easy to extend to the point of "OF COURSE this makes sense!"

It's not so much "in the middle" as "robust design vs one or another flavor of garbage." A strong designer is needed to get to that point, and maybe duct tape is better for shipping product than over-engineering, so if you HAVE to choose, the duct tape end of the spectrum is better. But even better to have a solid software architect who can come up with a good solution that people can use and extend and understand.
Are you keeping an eye on the Asahi Linux project or is the Apple hardware a non-starter?
I understand, thanks. It wasn't a criticism, I honestly asked out of ignorance.
No, it isn't. There's already precedents for what businesses can and cannot prevent you from doing. If, for instance, you think a business should be compelled to bake a cake with a certain message on it, then you can't make the argument that there should be no regulation on how much a business can censor its users.

That's not the only example. There's extensive case law that establishes how both governments and businesses have to either allow or curtail speech under certain conditions. A business can't legally compel you to do say something or wear a piece of clothing in a way that discriminates against you. A sex shop can't just open anywhere because, while it's been argued that they should be allowed as a form of free expression, they tend not to be considered as such under the spirit of the law. A person can be held responsible for the aftermath of shouting "fire" in a crowded room, even though this speech is superficially supported by the first amendment. Point being, we make decisions about freedom of speech that don't necessarily follow the letter of the constitution or stay within the bounds of the government.

Freedom of speech isn't just a law. It's a social principle upon which America was founded. If all meaningful communication is dominated by too-big-to-fail businesses with AI that can scour all correspondence, a reality we are rapidly approaching, then freedom of speech becomes meaningless. The situation becomes worse when these companies are all politically aligned with the regime. This is why we can't ignore how private companies regulate communication through their systems.
I think the Haskell abstraction is what allows monad transformers. Saw some hacks in F# to allow similar, but you lose generic "lift", for instance.
I agree completely. This is why I fully support Twitter's right to ban Trump, Amazon's right to dump Parler, etc.

The left and the right both get freedom of association wrong. The right gets it wrong on Parler, the left gets it wrong on gay wedding cakes. Everyone needs to stop advocating for the use of the government gun against peaceful people, no matter how much of an asshole they consider their political adversaries to be.

Yeah. The first really troublesome sign of climate change for most Europeans will be the waves of migrants desperately trying to find a place to live away from their homes that have been turned inhabitable because of climate change.

And they will look at the huddled masses and say;
"Dirty foreigners. Why don't they stay where they belong instead of trying to mooch our hard-earned wealth" and build higher walls.

For crying out loud.

The 5800x is a 105 watt part(!!!), still gets starched by the M1 in single core, and is only about 40% faster in multicore despite using all that power to drive double the performance core count.

But by all means, go off to cherry pick more niche benchmarks...
"Soak into" is probably an engineering approximation converted to lay language.

What we're really talking about is surface-gap-filling.

So yes, "into" at some level of magnification. "Onto" at another.
Interesting - thank you for the insight!
But here's the rub. You don't have an affirmative right to either Apple or Starbucks. If your behavior gets you kicked out of either, that's on you. Companies have the right of free association too, and while you can complain when you're on the short end of that stick, your rights have not been violated.

Pretending that anyone has a right to either is not only entitled nonsense, it's downright authoritarian. What is being advocated here is that the government should come in and force Apple to do business with fascists and terrorists against their will. Even if you imagine that this will encourage "free speech", and I promise you it will not, this is a power that will come to haunt us all if you give it to the government.
German sport / luxury cars are renowned for excessive "because we can" capability, and the complexity to go with it.

A cynic would say the complexity does not even have to bring extra capability; frequent and costly maintenance is an important part of the status signaling.

This is diametrically opposed to e.g. Toyota's simple, traditional, robust, and scalable transportation appliances.
Is this argument by syntactic substitution?

Has the container situation improved? Last time I looked (quite some time ago) I couldn’t find an official or community blessed container to base anything on.
Well, here's the thing.

If you agree that the required ability is "use my portable cell-connected computing device to exchange messages with others on their similar devices", then absolutely, I agree that there's a duopoly there (I'm ignoring the possibility to use alternative app stores on Android, because it doesn't seem particularly central).

But if you instead think the required ability is "be able to exchange messages with others in more or less realtime", then the duopoly in the portable cell-connected computing device world is of much less importance.

For years, because I don't have a cell phone, I was excluded from communications taking place via SMS (there were a few 1-way linux-accessible gateways, but they didn't really change anything there). But I didn't feel that my ability to communicate with others was really particularly impaired, and eventually Telegram (and others came along) that I could use from a desktop, and I was more or less back at parity for "real time communication with others".

So whether or not the android/ios duopoly matters in this sort of instance depends on precisely what functionality it is that you think people have a "right" to ...

Mozilla Threatens to Go Beyond Deplatforming in Creepy Statement
I appreciate the thoughtful response.

I would say that Q Shaman photo-op is the right wing response to far left protests staging dramatic photos with the police all summer.

My summary:

Left: “Look, we can bully the police and people will cheer!”

Right: “We can touch you anytime, anywhere.”

Left: “Shut the FUCK UP!”

My fear is it’s not going to stop.

Star Wars, something so universal I saw xwing graffiti in Cancun, MX has been purposefully debased by people like Kathleen Kennedy — to astroturfed praise from corporate media. Their sales tell the true story. That Disney+ crashed when Luke Skywalker appeared tells the true story.

My fear is what we see at Harvard and Yale, where Asian applicants are discriminated against to “balance races” or whatever the racist euphemism of the day is just won’t stop. We’ll see a reconstruction of institutionalized racism.

I think you’re right that the criticism of Asian media has a racial element — but it’s also about control. As the far left burned down US institutions (eg, Disney and WM), many Americans adopted Japanese and Chinese media as surrogates. (Eg, I watch more anime than Hollywood content.) Understandably, Japan and China told left wing groups where to put their opinions on how they run their own culture. That turned into a full on power struggle. It’s very neo-colonial.

I think either we stand up to the racism and gaslighting now — or the censorship is here to stay.

I would personally hold the Asian community up as one that has integrated meaningfully into America at large, while not abandoning their own identity. Teriyaki, sushi, and American Chinese food are everywhere; anime and HK martial arts flicks are semi-popular; most Americans can name a few major events in Asia; etc. Personally, I consider “rooftop Koreans” to be an American archetype.

Is it so wrong I, as a Polish Jew, want to do the same? ...to celebrate my heritage and discuss the problems I face honestly?
It's more akin to "no shirt no service". Parler can continue using Amazon if they moderate their platform, you can put on a shirt to get a cake. You cannot change your sexuality or skin color.

Pkgsrc: Portable Package Build System
This should be the top comment IMHO.
> Using a special command (nix-shell) whenever I needed to do development things (e.g. Rust builds) was not my idea of fun.

Funny you should mention that, because that's exactly what got me using Nix everywhere :). I've always hated installing tools and libraries globally—what if I need a different version for a future project?—so I like tools that sandbox as much as possible like virtualenv, cargo, cabal... etc. But these tools are all language-specific and have their own limitations (especially around native libraries and dependencies written in other languages).

nix-shell gives me the equivalent of virtualenv that works for everything. I can have a single sandboxed environment even if my project uses a bunch of different languages and I can manage everything in a reproducible, low-overhead fashion. No more worrying about making a mess by installing tools or packages globally.

Then, once I got really used to that, I spent some time setting up direnv[1] and lorri[2]—both of which are themselves managed with Nix, of course!—so that my environment gets automatically configured as soon as I enter a project directory without needing to call nix-shell explicitly. To be honest, the experience is still a bit rough, but it works well enough day-to-day that I have my reproducible sandbox cake and eat it in an mostly frictionless way too :).

Well, some time ago I read a similar study for some Asian country. Childbirth mortality was higher in the hospitals in big towns than in villages. The reason is simple - whenever possible, they transport complicated cases to big hospitals.

can someone ELI5 why Visa/MasterCard is frequently called a duopoly? as someone who mostly uses my amex and discover cards for day-to-day purchases, I don't really understand this. four major processors (two being their own issuers) seems like a decent amount of competition and diversity of offerings.
The excitement about the M1 computers is not about the software, but about the new CPU design, which is faster than any other laptop processor by most measures I've seen. Chromebooks have no equivalent.
Make a goddamn effort to figure out why someone's project is worth time investigating? Literally, that landing page has a video and links to articles. I don't want to spend minutes watching an ad. I went to the about page and read the info I should have read next to the video and understood what was what in 10 seconds.

Expecting people to make an effort to find out if a product/project is useful to them is basically asking not to have as many users. Basically, you just wasted your time building the product.

Pornhub was targeted not because of the content, but because it was by far the 800-lb gorilla in the room. Facebook has far more numerous instances of cheese pizza being thrown around but Facebook is a far more sympathetic entity than something with the name "Pornhub". The people who went after Pornhub were looking for any angle that would be palatable to the Left in a bid to remove adult material from the US landscape. There is a reason that they changed their name from Morality In Media to something else.
