Agreed, with NixOs - not only can you declare which packages to include, you can declare how those packages are setup. Like setting up nginx as a package with SSL support for examp…

Just to confirm my understanding, is the following corrects? NixOS: “Given this configuration, build me the same system again.” StageX: “Prove that every binary in this system came…

Isn’t this an apples/oranges comparison. Nix/NixOS is fundamentally about a declarative system configuration. And as far as I understand, StageX doesn’t have that.

Can someone explain the ramifications of this to those of us not informed. I’m in the process of about to deploy Nixos to server workloads, but am now hesitant because I don’t unde…

Why does the iMessage screenshot look “off”. Something about the line-height, fonts used, etc don’t look like a real iMessage chat. Am I alone on this?

> As I age I realize you need to entice the user with more value and service When companies use to charge for OS … and the releases were staggered by 3-4 years, I would have agreed…

OT: a friend of mine recently bought a house. They were surprised to learn at closing that the seller had financed their solar panels and that wasn’t apart of the home purchase. So…

Will this fit the dimensions of a typically airport gate and spacing?

That’s exactly what happened: https://xcancel.com/mitchellh/status/2079672171321081908#m

The team has been on a roll lately with massive fixes & improvements. Like last months announcement of over 500 fixes. https://webkit.org/blog/17967/news-from-wwdc26-webkit-in-saf.…

What’s new here? OpenAI launched ads nearly 6-months ago. Here’s the HN thread with 330 comments from then: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46949401

Don’t think of this as super intelligence. Think of it as vendor lock-in. We have a good compare, which is cloud in the early 2000s. Everyone (at the time) thought cloud compute co…

Hi Jose You’re an inspiration for many. Thank you. I’m curious to know what your top 3 hopes for BEAM itself are for the coming years (in any area that you think would make it bett…

Elixir is great. OT: I wish more funding & development effort went into BEAM itself on making it more performant. Note: I’m not talking concurrency. I’m talking pure raw performanc…

Thanks for sharing. How does your skills comparison to the offering from Capital One, as well,as what Visa published? https://github.com/visa/visa-vulnerability-agentic-harness

Since you seem informed, can you help me understand how these work. Are they glorified markdown skill files, or something more?

Dumb question: is using the built in passkey support on my iPhone not considered “hardware-backed”, even though iPhone is using device biometrics?

Even sillier than watching another human play soccer? Like the World Cup.

Looks nice, congrats. Ironically, my “Zen Mode” hack was just to use a smaller display … that way I only had room for 1-window open at a time.

GPT-5.6 is the first model where I’ve actually frustrated to use it. I’m explicitly telling it to do something extremely specific and it’s just not listening to me. Eg, I gave it a…

Dumb question: Can someone help me understand whag it means to have a “harness” for agents (and why you need one)? I’ve done some reading on the topic and am just not getting it.

Maybe it’s a bug but on iOS individual paid Pro account - I can no longer see which model is being used nor select which model I want.
