You're kidding right? Shatner's had a beer belly for the last 40 years and Patrick Stewart has always been quite thin. It's just luck and genetics.

Apple have dropped support for AFP, so SMB is the only game in town.

It already does sound outdated.

1. You can run NixOS with Lix (I do)

2. Because Guix is less mature and more, ehm, opinionated, than *ix + nixpkgs

So what Matter is to Thread, Reticulum is to LoRa?

Did you ask Claude to write this comment too?

That's already the case in determinate-nix. Flakes do have big problems though - try cloning a big data project with GBs of data and see how much you love flakes when it copies it to the store every time you run `nix run .#analysis`.

Imagine building a brand new component library to replace your already quite successful component library and still making it React-only.

It's annoying, sure, but it's not worth disabling SIP.

Why?

But this is my point — it would take hundreds, or even thousands of years for aliens to get here. To do that they'd need some sort of abundant fuel source.

Let's say they have had thousands of years of Nuclear Fusion, for example, it wouldn't surprise me if they could produce any elements they need by fusing hydrogen.

But let's say they didn't, and they do in fact see Earth as a rare jewel full of precious materials... the logistics of taking our natural resources just seems like a joke. Surely the juice isn't worth the hundreds of years of planning and logistics squeeze.

I used to buy this dark forest idea, because it's scary and exciting, but I think the biggest mistake is projecting our behaviours onto extra-terrestrials.

If they wanted to destroy Earth they'd just slightly nudge a big asteroid in our direction and be done with it.

/ sorry for the ADHD rant

We're like a paranoid child terrified that anyone that enters our room is going to steal our Lego, so we must be left alone!

Nobody wants our Lego.

> To flip it, why would I use unbound without pi-hole? What's the win I haven't seen (or even looked at or considered?)

In my experience, the fewer moving parts the better.

I run Unbound on my OPNsense router, and it uses the same blocklists as Pi-hole and the stats page (blocked domains, DNS requests, etc) are the same afaict.

I'm curious why you'd use pi-hole in combination with Unbound instead of using blocklists and stats that Unbound has built in?

What is multiplication if not adding over time?

I have been looking into Desktop Linux recently because macOS has taken a bit of a quality dip. GNOME - I'm never going to pronounce it guh-nome, please stop, it's embarrassing - seems to have a strong alignment with the old macOS philosophy. It's opinionated.

It also clearly copies macOS: Epiphany and the Settings app being prime examples.

I installed NixOS on an old T2 MacBook Pro, and it's... awful. Things just don't work, or don't work properly. It actually reminds me of running macOS on PCs back in the day (osx86, etc). GNOME 49 is headed in the right direction I think, but Desktop Linux is still in an absolute state.

Coming from Logseq... this looks ideal for me.

It could also be that there is a dirth of high quality CSS training data in comparison to JavaScript et al.

I wouldn't be surprised if the negative developer sentiment toward CSS is reflected in training datasets.

Two other use cases spring to mind:

- "GitHub: Let me know when this PR is merged" - "Store: Let me know when this item is in stock"

Unfortunately I think it's only useful if it works everywhere, so we can't rely on every website implementing it themselves.

Just hope that Herbie doesn't go bananas again

Correct, and it's Linux-only and more hardcore FOSS (i .e. they don't have any blessed way to use non-free software).

I'm not sure why it's being sold as an alternative to Nix/NixOS

> Our brain works on a couple of bananas

What a fantastic non sequitur

Absolutely agree.

When my boomer dad complains about the Pakistani family he went to sell something to having 2 BMWs it's definitely racist.

But the racism is inflamed by poor economic conditions, and the rationale is "how come these people that aren't even from here have a better life than me?"

Sadly, people seeking power know this and use the racism to get power and don't fix the underlying cause, which was never immigration — it was wealth inequality.

You're confusing language that causes a strong emotional response within you, with language that was written by a person experiencing strong emotion.

It's colourful language for sure, but gimme a break.

I am so tired of the AI doomer argument.

The entire thing is little more than a thought experiment.

> Look at how fast AI has advanced, it you just project that trend out, we'll have human-level agents by the end of the decade.

No. We won't. Scale up transformers as big as you like, this won't happen without massive advances in architecture and hardware.

I believe it is possible, but the idea it'll happen any day now, and by accident is bullshit.

This is one step from Pascal's Wager, but being presented as fact by otherwise smart people.

> The UK is going to simply be cut off from many social media services.

Oh no! Anyway...

If it was USB-C powered people would be complaining about the size of the external power supply.

They will, just in time for everyone to have switched to pytorch!

The default shell on macOS has been zsh for over 4 years now, and they keep it up-to-date.

The UI elements on iPadOS are necessarily larger to accommodate touch.

It's just a lot less information dense than macOS, and making it the same scale will make using it as a touch device harder.
