    I concede that [3] is not the best case of this reading more into it. My point still stands though. If visitors are one immigration mistake away from weeks in a detention camp, or …

    I miss PyCon US a lot and I'm sad I can't go. As a Canadian, recent USA ICE government actions have made it really hard for me to attend. No conference is worth getting thrown in a…

    I had a professor in university that would do this pre-LLM. He would take the first result on google and modify his problem to be slightly different. Students that copied from goog…

    https://github.com/srid/nixci Is this the project or is this a completely different Nix based CI/CD tool? I can't find a Github or anything on the website.

    Unfortunately, one of the only things that is proven to convince vaccine skeptics is when someone from their community dies of a preventable illness. This is a great book on this t…

    This is a great plugin! It's so cool to do this in a vim workflow.

    This is cool, though I'm reluctant to give praise when they have been so weird with Linux support on their games. It was annoying after buying Rust to learn that you can't play on …

    Used this in a "vibe coding hackathon" the other day. Works really well!

    For me, the success is having a simple way to prompt an Agent AI to modify my NixOS desktop and get live feedback. It can use the above MCP to search NixOS options and packages for…

    For stuff that's not in Nixpkgs like this, IMO flakes is the best option. Both of these require flakes. On the topic of deploying flakes to consumer users. I'm currently exploring …
