The limiting factor on speed-tests when you have 10-25 Gbps internet is WiFi. That’s what this is more likely showing.

> bubbles are notoriously unpredictable and generally don't happen when they are loudly and widely proclaimed to happen any minute now. Is that true? It seemed to me that the most …

Thomas Aquinas believed cruelty to animals was wrong not because animals have souls (and with that all the standard moral rights), but because it can teach us cruelty to other huma…

Yeah, I heard Jane Street disables even cache.nixos.org, and I think that's very sensible (but a pity...).

It’s still helpful to eg fold different phases in Nix, and different derivation output. I work on garnix.io, which is exactly a Nix-based CI alternative for GitHub, and we had to b…
