“You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics,”
If you only measure the workers, sure. What if you measure the processes that have been automated by programmers?
I’ve automated a semi-manual (first run this script, then that one, and then…) process. Would that process show up on their measurements? I bet it won’t.


Can I slap what I require in a file yet, like a pyproject.toml + uv.lock kind of situation?
edit: nevermind, I’ll stick to nix. Just let an LLM maintain your configuration. It’s a great experience.


You extend your right arm horizontally in front of you.
Uh oh…
You rest your left hand, palm down, on top of your right arm, next to your antecubital fossa (the opposite side of the elbow).
Oh, phew! I thought this was going to get dark for a second.


I use mermaid or PlantUML, so I can write it out in text and get a visual render inside vscode (just get yourself a mermaid or PlantUML extension)


Note that the .svg (or .png, for that matter) contains the metadata for draw.io itself, so you can basically have a regular .png that you can also open in draw.io.
Just don’t optimize the .png for filesize - the metadata will be removed, and you won’t be able to edit the file anymore.
Same for the .svg with https://svgomg.net/


And I convinced myself that using non-free software is haram and I shouldn’t do it… In Muslim communities anywhere, no fatwas about it.
WTF I love Islam now?

In Dutch it’s “Paardenbloem” (horses’ flower).
I’ve been using NixOS for a year now, and I did use LLMs to set up a large part of my configuration: It’s absolute amazing being able to share 1 configuration between multiple machines.
I also added a Justfile to hold a bunch of common commands, so I can never forget them :D
Just start out by throwing your hardware-configuration.nix and configuration.nix (from /etc/nix/configuration, IIRC) into a repo, and sudo nixos-rebuild switch as starting command (in that repo).
Also yes, each host will need its own hardware-configuration, but they can share a configuration.nix (to some extent), but just start by adding a list of programs from https://search.nixos.org/packages, oh and @vimjoyer IS the documentation.
Put it below Debian/right of Gentoo.
He can upgrade from 22.05 to 25.11, I guess?
And to cover complexity, I just let an LLM do most of the work - it knows more about NixLang than me anyway (though I can read it).


his racist and toxic comments in the past make it hard to recommend it to anyone
He mended his ways, and didn’t do it again. What else do you want him to do, to atone for his sins?


he dint really accept his/or dealt with the consequences,
What else would you want him to do?
And what consequences are you specifically talking about?
“Stateful updates? In this economy?” - some NixOS user


If the devs are competent, they’ll set up guard rails, and it should be completely fine, IMO.


Just use curl.


Oh no, equality! How horrific!
I was thinking along the line of them yoinking the guac right from under your nose, even if you weren’t finished yet.
