I think the real advantage of Apple is that they're building both, the hardware and the software.

I'm very skeptical we will ever see such a good integration in the linux or windows world because there isn't any single entity doing both.

Back in the 1980s, quite a few American soldiers were killed when a chartered flight crashed in (I think) Newfoundland. It came out that the airline had reckoned 160 lb per person, which may be OK for the general population, but not for the airborne infantry.

Tl;dr: the author believes that hypercard was in the way of making the Mac a consumption device, because it allowed users to make their own things instead of buying it via the Apple store.
That's another problem of documentation.

The correct way is to search for packages as the following: https://nix.dev/tutorials/ad-hoc-developer-environments.html...

And then install via: nix-env -iA attribute-name

New Nix CLI as part of next release fixes that, but it's not out yet.

If Charles abdicates, his children receive the baton. But Harry's, and William's succession is under question with both being known not to have that much enthusiasm with the royal business.

If they too decline, line goes to their children below the age of majority, and the icky question of regency appears.

The regency in question notionally gives quite a lot of power, as the crown itself. If regency goes to the executive branch, it will throw out the last check on the Downing st. for may many thing, including the use of UK's nuclear weapons.

> What is the story in nix for packaging untagged branches of software

Most Nix packages define their sources using `src`. You can pass in whatever you want. E.g. fetch a tarball from GitHub with `fetchUrl`, fetch from a git repository, or point to a local directory.

> or reasoning about "snapshots" where pools of unreleased repos/packages are able to be treated as a single versionable unit?

This is basically what the Nixpkgs collection is minus the "unreleased" part. You can extend Nixpkgs with the packages that you care about using overlays. You have control over the stuff that you put in the overlay, so you can put in unreleased software as well like I described above.

> - I have an existing system for managing packaging metadata which I don't want to migrate from. How much trouble will I get into if I want to generate the metadata on the fly each time (as I currently do for my debs)?

This is difficult to answer without knowing more details.

- You can generate the Nix source files based on the metadata like the sibling comment pointed out.

- Or you could read the metadata with `builtins.fromJSON` and generate Nix derivations programmatically from within Nix.

> - What is the apt/nix interop story?

If you don't want to bother packaging certain applications using Nix (or work towards that gradually), you can. Nothing prevents you from referencing things outside of `/nix/store` in a Nix package. You can launch stuff from `/usr/bin` from a Nix binary if you are so inclined. Libraries are going to be tricky though.

As for the other way around, I'm aware of two options:

- At Channable, we would package the Nix closure of a package in a `.deb`. This works, but you run into trouble when multiple debs need the same store path. You can work around this by packaging the Nix closure under e.g. `/var/lib/<your_package>/nix/store` and bind mounting to `/nix/store` before launching.

- Eventually we realized we didn't want the `/nix/store` stuff in our `.deb` packages. IIRC we created a `postinst` script which ran `nix-env` to realize a store path from our cache + create a GC root so it doesn't get garbage collected.

Some of that stuff may have changed since I left.

The distinction between a scanner and a parser is somewhat arbitrary. One could use one and the same formalism for it. The scanner usually deals with things that are considered 'atomic' elements in the language, while grammar is used for 'compound' elements consisting of one or more other elements. If there are seen as one and the same, than it naturally flows that the scanner is called from the parser, and not how it is traditionally done, that the scanner acts as a first pass. This seems a logical approach, but in practices, when scanning is context sensitive, requires the implementation of all kinds of hacks. Also, the treatment of keywords (where it is possible that they are case insensitive) it is better to have a grammar for parsing a keyword 'identifier' and a check whether the result matches the keyword. For pure performance this would not be the best solution, but I understand that Carburetta is not design for that. I have been developing a parser that makes no distinction between scanning and parsing in C, which I called RawParser: https://github.com/FransFaase/RawParser . It also offers more powerful grammar constructs and gives examples on how to implement memory management in a uniform way.

It went on quite a bit longer than that. In 1834, William IV sacked a prime minister for purely political reasons. His successor, Victoria, was probably the UK's first constitutional monarch in the modern sense.
Oh cool, that makes perfect sense, thanks for the explanation!
That's a bit of a childish remark. The celebrity stuff exists in every culture and every country, so there's nothing particular to monarchy in this regard. The British monarchy, is, of course, a castrated monarchy in the sense that it has little power, but it still functions as a unifying force for the UK. Some argue that monarchies are generally more tolerant than republics. Monarchy can be argued to be a more natural or default form of government in principle than republicanism because the monarch (the king) is a kind of paternal role. The dynastic component adds continuity, responsibility (you don't want your heir to bear the burden of your bad policies, do you?), and hedges against both short-term thinking (like we see among elected officials) and the dangers of meritocratic ambition ("I EARNED my power!" vs. "I am saddled with this responsibility to serve."). Of course, in practice, republicanism can become more attractive because of royal corruption and abuse of power, but the notion that republicanism is immune to these just because it takes different forms is absurd.

Remarks like "useless social fiction from antiquity" come across as uninformed, provincial snobbery motivated by some kind of superficial progressive mythology. There are forms of government that are objectively bad, others that are poorly suited to time and place, but the notion that the best form of government is the democratic republic, everywhere and in all times and places, is silly.

Tons of reasons, but the main one is that cache is shared mutable state, pretending not to be. It has all of the ugly attributes of global variables, especially where knowledge transfer and reliability are concerned.

In a read-mostly environment you can often more easily afford to update the state all at once. It’s clear what the effects are because they happen sequentially. The cost of an update isn’t fanned out and obscured across the codebase, where or your team can delude yourself of the true system cost of a suspect feature.

Really great comment...Appreciate when people do this.
If I understand the paper correctly it's because GPUs are good at doing a lot of parallel matrix multiplications, at the cost of copying to and from GPU memory. The CPU has the advantage that it doesn't need to copy, and it's more flexible, but not as parallel, so if you use caching and limit the parallelism of the computations by exploiting sparsity the CPU wins as it does here.

So I don't see the clickbaitiness here, it's the central claim of the paper.
I don't use nix-env or home-manager. On my NixOS workstation everything (outside of nix-shells) is installed via environment.systemPackages. And I do wish there was an easy way to add stuff to install packages without rebuilding the whole system - I guess that's what nix-env is for but if I went with that I would the "single editable config file that you can put in VCS" aspect. I think nix-env uses profiles, which are implemented collection of symlinks to the Nix store - guess I could still version those...?

There is this false sense of confidence that everything is reproducible "because we had the discipline to never do manual changes and always use puppet" but in real life:

- dependencies between resources are forgotten, it worked the first time because luck in the order in which resources were applied, but would fail in from scratch applies.

- hidden dependencies that were not specified but it worked because an other resource was installed at the time.

- hell, even a failed apply could have partially installed dependencies that would make subsequent applied work.

- there's always _that time_ when you had to fix something in a hurry and manually installed a package which is now a potential hidden dependency for everything else.

The link OP posted is talking about a different process ("Queen's Consent") from the publicly known rubber stamping process ("royal assent").

Queen's Consent happens before parliament votes, and details on what actions occurred (other than the number that were screened) are not known. The lack of knowledge, combined with the pattern of laws she has screened provide the space for making the inference that the Queen may have actively lobbied or modified laws for some purpose. What the purpose is (actively politically, or merely "self-serving") is unknown.

It's rather funny how this article is framed.

The unionization side lost the vote, which tends to imply that they are less popular. Despite that, all of the quotes are from people who supported the unionization. They have "a worker... who helped organize the union drive" and "the president of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union that led the organizing effort". The article picture is of a pro-union protestor. They don't seem to have made any effort at all to find or quote people who were against it. They instead framed all opposition as obviously due to Amazon's "propaganda".

So what could be the reason for this - are their reporters just lazy, or are they hopelessly biased in favor of unionization? Well let's be honest, it's obviously both.

I'd also be interested to know here, what is the nature of the proposed unionization? Is this just Amazon workers, or would they become a small part of some massive national union organization? It quotes the "president of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union", and their picture has some rather nicely printed signs by them, so I know which way I'd bet. If this unionization actually went through, would the individual workers have any say in what their contract would be, or would they just have to take whatever this massive national union thought is good for them? That might be a pretty solid reason to vote against it. Funny how it doesn't say anything about that.
I thought I was aware of the problem, but it turned out the ugly side was a lot uglier than I'd imagined. Definitely worth a watch.
