Instead of touching your upper teeth with your lower lip, use the middle of your tounge to touch the upper teeth. That’s all.

How is it more “spicy” than anywhere else in Europe?

*Every Swiss male has to enter the military unless unable or unwilling to.

No Swiss person has to enter the military.

I’d also like to see proof of the first claim. Germany’s Grundgesetz Art. 20 (4) gives the right to oppose but doesn’t require it.

What does full CMYK allow you to do that RGB editing doesn’t? (Genuinly curious)

IIUC pingora is not standalone, but a set of rust crates? Should be already supported by nixpkgs through rust builders.

Didn’t get a single reqeust, so this had less impact than expected. Thought there was more old rusty companies looking for a non-retired engineer.

I wanted to see what the COBOL job market looked like. So I learned the superficial basics of COBOL in a day or two, just so I wouldn’t be a complete fraud when I put it into my linkedin profile as a skill to see what happens.

They got suspended sentences. The author of the article didn’t do their research (probably an LLM anyway).

The courts, probably. That’s what they are for.

Can anyone explain the “professional developers” percentages to me?

What’s the threat model here? I can think of no DNS shennanigans that would not be detectable through the authentication mechainsms in TLS (chain-of-trust). Not having to trust network infrastructure is exactly what TLS is for.

What is it that you’re doing that is still not using some form of authenticated encryption? Almost everything is https, ssh, almost all mailservers have tls support, irc does have tls support… What’s left that needs to be encrypted by a VPN?

How do you know?

I’m not sure I agree that Void is a bottom type. If so, void-functions would never be able to return/terminate. Java’s void is probably more of a unit type.

I’m not sure if it’s larger :)

I suspect this is a problem with your particular combination of hardware and kernel. I doubt this has something to do with NixOS itself, so I would try to see if there’s something to be found in the ArchWiki. The solution might be to pick a different kernel and/or using paricular kernel modules/module options. Good luck

I think would just try to compile it from source. Using a different package manager seems very weird. I suspect getting the source to build on nixOS is more or less equivalent in terms of effort than to create a derivation. I have done so in the past and I ended up pushing them to nixpkgs. If compiling is out of the question, I guess docker but I havn’t had to do that, yet.

I think most of your concerns have at least one “yes, and…” response.

For example, yes it’s niche; it also has the most number of first class available software packets out all distributions. So it’s not a little unsupported corner with a small community; it’s quite large actually.

The security model is inherently at least as good as for any other major community. If package maintainers read the new upstream code, it’s safer, if they don’t it’s not. I don’t know of any useful security mechanisms in debian or arch that don’t exist for nix. However, packaging software IS less cumbersome with nix, once you know how; which leaves more time for code reviews and testing in theory.

Programmability of software packaging is mostly irrelevant to the normal user. Package maintainers will have to do some special handling for the odd package, and power users might want to put abstractions into their configuration. For normal day-to-day, where you want to package your own project and get a dev shell, it’s mostly straightforward.

Most of the time, for os features, it’s absolutely not 1:1. Many very useful intents are modeled as nixos configuration flags. In most cases no, you don’t need to figure out what you need to install and what file to change to set the theme in gtk; there’s an option and you’re done. Sure, there are packages with less abstraction, but nixos makes it very easy to add. Furthermore, the options are safe between system upgrades which is not always the case for major software releases.

Yes. NixOS is complex, yes Nix is hard to learn, there’s no doubt about that. I assume there’s going to be many projects down the line taking nixos ideas and wrap them into nicer UX.
