I can’t even finish the trailer with how boring and stale it looks. Calling it pretty forgettable is stating it nicely… I’m convinced this game will be released and nobody will even notice. He even sounds bored out of his mind himself.

Maybe there is a market of mobile gamers gone PC that he’s trying to capture, much like Godus? I don’t see how this will entice anyone else.

Basically he has no clout left, even though I still wish for a good Black and White sequel, B&W 2 doesn’t count.

How is this new? Never heard of coleslaw or potato salad?

Personally I probably wouldn’t advise NixOS to someone new to Linux. I think it’s best to get familiar with how linux does things in a more conventional setup first. And then transition to a declarative setup. But it kinda depends on the person as well, and how willing they are to learn and how comfortable they are with writing such a config.

That said, I would be very curious how the switch straight from Windows to NixOS would be experienced by someone. So if you do so, feel free to post your experience on the NixOS community :)

This is why I stopped using Gnome. After every update most of my extensions stopped working. Some took ages to get up to date or were abandoned. And there was no simple way to enable all extensions that the update disabled, having to manually enable them one by one. Maybe that has changed now? It’s been yearsnow… Not that I would go back anyway, tiling managers is where it’s at.

If string return nan, else % 2

So now you return a number type if it’s a string and a boolean if it’s an integer. How does that make sense?

The is-even lib exists to sanitize input by throwing an exception which imho is better.

Edit: having looked at the code better. Apparently it still allows string coercion (boo). It only checks for non integer numbers.

To be fair in a dynamic typed language with dumb string to int coercions, I kinda get why such a library would exists. So it’s more a symptom of terrible language design than modern dependency hell.

In c style languages, Java, c++, rust, etc.

Well I concede, I guess there was one metric they were better at. Doing absolutely nothing.

Was that even true for comparable CPU’s? I feel this was only for their N100’s etc.

I honestly don’t get why anyone would have bought an Intel in the last 3-4 years. AMD was just better on literally every metric.

I’m mixed on this. If the algorithm is known, big channels would just game it. They still will figure it out now and game, but it might take a bit longer. Just like these days most of timef the top 20 results with Google are completely useless nowadays because it’s either AI slop or pure marketing.

An Inch meant something different for most countries not too long ago. If the Chinese inch is a knockoff, then so is the US inch. Only the UK inch is the one truly inch!

This can easily be discarded for just the fact that trump would have bragged about this a long time ago if true.

And when the store smashes the target the manager gets a nice bonus, and the employees who actually did anything can be happy with a free pizza slice.

I think just like the reading it’s very different per person. I’m great at zoning out and not listening to people. Intentionally or not.

I think it’s a fair strategy. If they know what happens if you do it wrong people suddenly complain less about rust’s borrow checker. Whereas people who are only used to garbage collected language don’t usually have the slightest clue why it works the way it does.

I disagree. I love it for a desktop system . The fact that you can just try a package/app out with nix shell -p pkg and it doesn’t mess with your global environment and don’t have to bother to uninstall/clean up is very nice. Also combined with direnv/shell.nix it’s really nice for setting up different dev environments, no need to globally install your dev tools (of course you can also do this without nixos too). Or the fact I can run a test variant of my setup without being afraid of corruption with nixos-rebuild test and it will never be able to fuck my existing setup…

Of course, configuring everything in a single structure is a bit of work at the beginning. But it’s really not that bad (though the documentation could really use some work) . You can just reuse your existing dot files by just including them without converting them to the nix language. And the fact I can now update and configure all my systems from one place and one structure is amazing, without having to ssh in every machine and remember how it’s configured.

Now does that mean it’s the final distro? Probably not. But would I go back to a non-declaritive setup? Most definitely never. Maybe I’ll try out guix sometime, but I personally never liked lisp variants as a language. But who knows what else comes along. But imho declarative is the way to go for any setup, desktop or server.

Well the way he framed it. As in you still need your phone in an holder. I figured you can’t properly control your music from Tesla. Can’t easily make calls, Bad support for other apps. I’ve never really experienced a Tesla properly, and I would way too ashamed to do so nowadays. So I don’t really know the experience very well.

Wait what?? I knew they overused terrible touch screen controls… But you can’t even connect your phone properly?
