Those new editors gross like weed. Every month there is a new shiny one which promises to be the new vim.

Delta is a pager that does Syntax highliting, better diff highliting and improved outputs of existing git commands. Highly recommended.

Mac's aren't even that great for DevOps. You get horrible out of date GNU things like bash 3 and are almost forced to upgrade and install a lot of stuff via brew at which point you also could have installed a Linux.

I still don't regret buying Factorio for a whopping 1 Cent per hour.

Do everything but everything mediocre.

Nothing about a shell.nix is complicated. You just copy the boiler plate and add the packages you want. Pretty damn easy in my opinion.

Did you try https://github.com/Mic92/nix-ld or https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#setup-hook-autopa... ?

> NixOS people went to endlessly harass him on the home assistant forums.

That is just a lie and not what happened.

> Even though Nix users likely consciously trade off that for reproducibility.

Even if home-assistant would download the files at runtime it can't put them at the right location and it would only work for python only packages.

For example NASA https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2020/12/17/curl-supports-nasa/

I think he also posts some of the funny ones on Twitter

The nixpkgs/NixOS packaging of NixOS uses packages which work with the tests of home-assistant. We cannot respect every version pin and if package have none breaking updates we happily update them. This is especially important to get security fixes in.

That is not quite right. NixOS can download files from the internet during build time for example to get the source code and you can even disable downloading things form the cache. It would be technically possible to download files at runtime but that does not align well with the reproducible goal and would also require some hacky patching.

Hey Hacker News,

if you contributed to nixpkgs in the last months you have probably seen me already but for the people that don't know me already: I am Sandro, one of the more active reviewers and contributors of NixOS/nixpkgs in the last months.

If you have any question about the situation or NixOS in generally feel free to drop me a comment and I try to answer them to the best of my knowledge. I can't speak for the entire NixOS organization so all my comments on this thread are my own views. I also do not receive any benefits from this in form of money or something else.

Yes, fabaff is a bigger home-assistant contributor to my knowledge and started to help out packaging a lot of the missing python libraries for NixOS.

NixOS is quite ready to handle home-assistant but did not yet package every python package that it could depend on. That is just taking a bit more time and will be eventually done. Until then you should take a quick look at your logs if something is broken/not working and you should easily find which package is missing. If you need help with that you can always jump on the NixOS matrix channel and people will help you with that.

> Don't even care. Internet Explorer 6 is better at this point.

Yeah, sure. It isn't.

If you redirect people to that site you can also serve them a 404.

This just reads like a politician got caught in corruption and trying to find excuses and putting himself as the victim. Nothing really changed, nothing except promises and FSF still tried to sneak in RMS and got caught.

but because work done in the past seems to be more important and can overshadow everything like nothing happened.

The user already paid for the app download with his/her personal data more than it costs google to provide the download and development.

Most of the work policies we have are the outcome of unions and left politics. If you yote against them you are voting in the interest of your employer which does not care about you, a replaceable warehouse worker, at all. If you have psychological issues because of stress at work and your back is damaged for your lifetime you are just replaced with someone else.

I regularly see stupid formatting around 80 characters. It always gets a review request to change it.

I hope they catch up with this. If you guarantee SLA than you need to be honest with it or guarantee less.

I would also be really interested in them but didn't find anything yet. Maybe their new notification system has something to do with it?

"Source from medium".... Medium is also getting worse and worse. After 3 articles or so you are forced to pay or open an incognito tab....

Can I now trash iftop and nethogs?

God thank you for not switching again. Nothing is worse than changing habbit all the time.

This would also apply to all other digital stores like Origin and what happens with consumables?

Maybe they collect your data and sell it? See https://github.com/netdata/netdata/issues/7366

Fool

Thats the point! We in the west want to keep our freedom. If Google would censor there search for china every other dictatorship in the world would want there own censored one. Maybe Germany wants swastikas and Hitler censored. China should become more liberal but this won't happen because then the Chinese leadership will fall and a revolution would happen and together with that North Korea would fall and leave Russia as the last communist country.
