Hate to break this, but https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/elon-musk-x-corp-alex-jones-infowars-rcna180487

Seems he is now fully sold on the idea that this is his world, we’re just living in it.

My pal dug these up:

https://github.com/JusticeFighterDance/JusticeFighter110/issues/15 and

https://github.com/william-sto/JusticeNeverTooLate

They have issues providing commentary and caveats, and are in Chinese, ofc. And also take all of this with several boatloads of salt.

Eh, it’s destroying a common good to extract resources (landscape / minerals, electricity / numberwang). I say the shoe fits.

Hm, what do you mean by js-ware? That its front end uses JavaScript libraries? I guess, fair. Backend is python though (:

As a stunt (when I was unhappy with the previous linkding frontend), a pal and I wrote https://github.com/lz-bookmarks/lz, which is basically just linkding without the useful api and frontend (which is rust+webassembly, lol). Has a decent cli though, and interlinking between bookmarks and other URLs.

Wait no they’re talking about Race Theory Criticality Events

Yup, there are a few efforts out there like that, I would group aux and lix in with them, as ecosystem-compatible parts.

My feeling these days is that the ecosystem is kinda screwy on a fundamental level, and I’m willing to blame the unhealthy focus on “purity” (both the word and the concept) for a good part of that. The language you use to define packages and systems doesn’t need to be lazily evaluated and purely functional; nothing needs to be, that is a lesson freely available to be learned coming out of the early 2000s.

Anyway, here I am slowly reading through the doctoral thesis, picking out the (several) grains of corn that make up the really good and solid ideas that make it a useful system; maybe a thing can be made that adds a bit of pragmatism… and then a lot of effort can be poured into that, unpragmatically.

I’m glad they finally got around to productizing the month name inference engine

Looking through the photos, I find a “library” with two not-very-long shelves in it. That tracks with the occupants’ tastes

One of the really cool bits about this fork is that it exposes the way in which all sorts of parts of the nix ecosystem are required to move in lockstep with cppnix: I tried lix out, and immediately this fails to build if you use hydra (the nix CI system, also headed by edolstra). Surprise: it links in cppnix for some evaluation magic, and does so using unstable APIs that change wildly from release to release.

Much better running buildbot now.

In positive News, there is now a zulip (yep, the chat system with the threads) instance where nix governance gets discussed, with a faiiiirly reasonable and toothsome code of conduct. I don’t want to hope too much but maybe there is a way this project can heal, I’d certainly appreciate not having to spend person-months migrating all my personal computing to some much worse platform.

The great thing about fixed-point evaluation is that they will always have been warned.

The unfortunate bit about fixed-point evaluation is that infinite recursion encountered
