    I'll be honest, that does not sound "easy". It is straightforward, but so is the NixOS module system, and I could describe writing a custom module the same way you described custom…

    I haven't double checked, but my recollection of that story was that they were using Git as part of the operations at runtime, not (just) as a development dependency.

    Do you have a link to a more in-depth analysis of the queuing theory for these numbers?

    I don't think you can equate CI/CD unit tests and killing humans with 2 tons of metal.

    I have to say, I don't see what makes it handle the criticism from the OP. It looks exactly the same as every other Dyson product I've ever seen.

    When looking at their bridge documentation for my own homeserver, I noticed that they do provide a way to self-host the bridges to be used with Beeper's homeserver as well. See htt…

    My thinking is that the dev _did_ work on it for X amount of time, but as part of their contract is not allowed to share the _actual_ history of the repo, thus the massive code dum…

    Opening it in a new tab on FF on Android works fine on the first try.

    As pointed out, the idiomatic way to do this is to use the try operator (`?`). But to answer your question about copies : Rust is a move-only language, copies are actually called `…
