I'm part of the sysadmin team who studied the migration paths for the Dendrite in question in this blog post and unfortunately as a volunteer it's hard to find the time to invent m…

Hello, we already have the name: http://lix.systems/ . It'd be great if you would consider another name otherwise we will have to compete for the SEO and confuse a lot of our userb…

Tvix is compatible with Nix, thus it follows the /nix/store/$hash-$name naming scheme.

(Tvix developer here) 2 years after, Flakes are still what they are, IMHO, a pile of layering violations. I do not see a path forward for them in Tvix before we get to fix them lay…

Tvix developer here; Tvix is quite different from Nix and is a clean restart, in my humble opinion, it would be quite hard to integrate some features of Tvix in the current Nix bec…

Tvix developer here; we do have Windows in mind. Rust makes a bunch of things easier regarding this, but _not everything_. It's not a priority. The location of the store is not rea…

Tvix developer here; correctness is still not guaranteed, there's nothing to use here except if you already understand well Nix concepts to pick parts and build stuff on the top of…

Not ready, so not a good reason to use it yet.

I moved to npins which has slightly more features that niv. But niv has been great, I wish we can have patching natively so all my tons of patches can be bolted on faster.

For example, Flakes have no concept of cross compilation and makes this use case extremely tedious to use. Flakes were a RFC then merged as an experimental feature and shilled too …

Honestly, we are an open source project, not a company. If we have the money, of course, we would prefer to spend it there and do better and more with it. If this is threatening in…

It is also probably impossible given some sources completely disappeared.

Did you mention sandboxed builds? Actively preventing pip to execute code arbitrarily at install time? Same for Node.js? I cannot live without that anymore, that's the new golden s…

Those benchmarks are wrong and misleading. Tvix contributor (but mostly reviewer I would say) here. We still don't have finished the integration with our own store, using the Nix s…

Nix. :-)

Flox has some solution for this. Other than that, this is being worked on :).

It really is interesting. What was shown was the ability of systemd to have restart policies of units and the ability to load secret over some sort of Unix socket primitive. Plus, …

No you cannot fit their whole tree of dependencies, their semantics and their failures modes in a single HN comment. People use basic tools because they have much more understandab…
