A particular highlight of n+1 for me was issue 11, which contained a retrospective review of the site Pitchfork[1], an essay chronicling the author's experience at their first Gath…

You're not necessarily wrong, but the phrase "push a narrative," the scare quotes around "qualitative data," and your initial comment suggest to me that you are not familiar with q…

This is a qualitative methods paper, so statistical significance is not relevant. The rough qualitative equivalent would instead be "data saturation" (responses generally look like…

There are a few broad reasons this can happen. One possibility is that they want to know if the treatment causes suicidal ideation, and the effect is often small enough that people…

A lot of work about packaging specifics reads like inside baseball because it is. Most people manage to avoid getting into the specifics of packaging because it’s stuff that mostly…

The coffee is made with the assistance of AI, which means some nonzero portion will be something other than coffee, but at least it means every sip is an adventure.

Tempo's a backend/sink for traces, but if you click through to the Tempo docs and find out how to generate tracing data[1], you learn that you have two options: OpenTelemetry, whic…

I'm not sure if this approach is being used already or even viable, but there are good tools for the following: - creating minimal OCI images from Nix packages - creating microvms …

If you're attending BazelCon I'd love to have a chat with you about this stuff in some more detail. (If you're not I'd still love to have a chat!)

I've been wondering idly if it's possible for Nix to support the Bazel Remote Execution API that seems to be catching on[1] more generally. [1] https://github.com/bazelbuild/remote…

I'm on my third (long story) Bolt, I would pick it three more times if I could, and I'm certain that I've sold more Bolts than most GM salesmen, so my comment was more familiar sna…

I'd seen some rumors that Tesla has been trying to slow down onboarding of other automakers to their charging network, so it's good to see information to the contrary. I still stru…

I didn't use the word "stagnation," and "recession" has a core definition that is pretty broadly accepted[1]. I have no opinion on whether or not the recent dip merits a recession,…

I'm curious what the point of this piece is. If the goal is to sell the author's book, it has not done a great job of selling it to me. There's a lot of information missing here, a…

I'm not too proud to admit I took the general concept from https://sadservers.com/ and turned it into something I could use for interactive debugging interviews. I had golden image…

One problem tools like these tend to have, to take Amplify as an example, is that they turn what might be a complicated problem served by heterogeneous tools and glue code into a v…

Python building, packaging and deployment has two extreme states: the king's highway and the hall of a thousand knives. If the portable Python suggestions do not make sense to you,…

There are a few things this is responding to, but since it does not provide the context directly, here they are (by no means exhaustive): - Anduril dropped as NixCon sponsor: https…

That's been my experience as well. It lacks support for certain clone(2) flags like CLONE_VFORK[1], which limits the set of non-trivial programs it can run, and since running non-t…

Sure, and this is all fine, but it feels like this information gets buried or smoothed-over, and I think you strengthen your position by leading with it as a differentiator. Nobody…

> Tvix explicitly targets stable Nix features, so supporting Flakes is a non-goal. Except that it rolls its own CA store[1], which is also not a stable Nix feature. One could argue…

It's worth noting that tvix explicitly[1] does not support flakes. [1] https://lobste.rs/s/ypwgwp/tvix_we_are_rewriting_nix#c_zvtze...
