4K doesn't really say anything about image quality, just the resolution of the picture, which tells you the theoretical maximum level of visual detail. Focusing on resolution is li…

Ever heard of Sourceforge?

I agree, it could be seen as a self-inflicted wound. I'm a Guix developer but I still use Guix on Debian for important deployments, mainly because of systemd / journald. But, we co…

Hey, we're glad to hear you're interested in Guix :) I just wanted to say that Guix doesn't hate systemd, or think of itself as an anti-systemd project or anything like that. Syste…

I concur: Wingo's opinion is widely shared within GNU, and I wrote about it a few months ago, too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25193674

Debian, Ubuntu, UNIX, Linux — none of these have an obvious pronunciation to a native English speaker from USA. Why take such a defeatist attitude? I'm sure you can get the pronunc…

That service was worse than anything else because it failed to provide the crucial "availability" property. And in the end he gave the keys to the government anyways. So he failed …

Do you think it's different in other countries? Everywhere, the email service will have to give your emails to the police when they come knocking...

It's not supposed to rhyme with Nix. Rather, it's a portmanteau of Guile and Nix. The pronunciation is indeed like the English word 'geeks'.

Installing Guix in a VM has its own section of the manual: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Instal...

I don't know anything about this case but innocent people plead guilty all the time in the USA. It's a much safer choice than going to trial where the sentence may be much much lon…

In the beginning, when Gmail was only accessible by invitation, the killer feature was the relatively huge amount of free storage it offered. 1 gigabyte vs 20 or 100 megabytes at o…

Are there any falling sand games where it does work?
