    I am in the process of co-founding a new protocol which creates a decentralized root of trust using normal plain-text names (i.e. `foo.bar`). One of the goals I hope to obtain is a…

    How specific is the law? What if side loading requires a "trusted" signed certificate where trusted means from Google Play? Not even playing devil's advocate, just wondering how ma…

    Usually I find the hype is centered around creating software no one cares about. If you're creating a prototype for dozens of investors to demo - I seriously doubt you'd take the "…

    Always sounds so interesting and then I do a search only to found out it's another product trying to sell you your 20th "AI credit package." I really don't see how these apps will …

    This is a valid observation. I wonder though if people who have been coding for decades, but choose to use AI assistance, would fall under the same AI slop category. It’s an intere…

    Wow, this is literally the story of my team. Luckily there’s enough autonomy for us the escape the gravitational pull of the few remaining evangelists, but this is essentially what…

    > they just don't try hard enough The answer was in my post. Nix isn't for everyone, and that's OK.

    For reference, I use Nix to manage three different machines, always via home-manager and nix-darwin (I left NixOS awhile ago and haven't looked back). I don't think it's "inevitabl…

    The most common answer I've seen is that Python packaging just "doesn't do it right" so it's impossible to get a clean Nix experience with them. Which, to some degree is true, but …

    I'm constantly having to fight for my child's ADHD meds (as in, they are never available at any pharmacies around me). It's been such a nightmare ever since they were diagnosed. To…

    I said you were trivializing it, not that it was impossible. My original comment is it's "far outside the bounds" of what has been traditionally done by Pope's. To suggest that the…
