Hey y'all, I'm Graham the CEO of DetSys. Determinate Secure Packages has been a huge effort we've made to help customers in the national security, medical, aerospace, etc. industri…

Yikes! This is exactly the kind of invariant I'd expect Aurora to maintain on my behalf. It is why I pay them so much...

Hey folks, CEO of Determinate here. We've been working on this for ages , and am thrilled to finally have it rolling out to real users. Let me know if you have questions!

Yeah! It also skips a lot of IO and other complicated bits, which hopefully pans out to being more reliable and performant!

DetSys CEO here. We've been working on this for months, and I am so excited for this to be out. This is the third time I've been part of a Linux remote builder on macOS, and we got…

Hey folks, Graham - CEO of Determinate Systems here. Happy to answer any questions!

CEO of Determinate here again, happy to answer questions!

Hey folks, Determinate Systems CEO here. I'm really happy about this release, and what it means for our ability to get features like parallel evaluation, lazy trees, and other work…

(DetSys Cofounder here) I've had Raspberry Pi's give up their last ghostly breath evaluating NixOS.

Back in the day, adopting Git was also clumsy and hard to implement. It was buoyed significantly by the investments GitHub made into its usability. I agree Nix is going to have to …

They're great! But also still miss fundamental pieces that Nix gets right. Especially the way the build and dependency graph goes right to the root of every package, and comes toge…

I feel that. This is one place where the "nix is everything, everything is nix" mentality hurts the project. NixOS modules are where the abstract config option sauce lives. It isn'…

Hear hear. It takes continuous effort not just on documenting, but also reducing the need for documentation by cutting interfaces and accidental complexity.

Hi Steve! Well. The future isn't evenly distributed yet :). There is work in flight to make Nix support Windows. Also, and I know this doesn't count, but it works great in WSL toda…

A FlakeHub organization with private flakes and cache is $20/user/month, plus at-cost storage and bandwidth. Members of that organization get automatic access to the private flakes…

Whew. "Everything" is a tough one, today. 1. I know there is an upcoming book, NixOS in Production. There is a lot of great info in there! 2. Have you seen https://zero-to-nix.com/…
