Beware! Here be core influences. But don't worry, I don't like core ifluences, and I like this, therefore it must be good.

I'm not trying to push an agenda. I don't know what you mean by "picking and choosing writings". I'm still not sure exactly what you're saying.

If you're saying there are no such thing as "founding fathers", I think that's just wrong in the sense that the myth of the founding fathers is a part of American culture and is taught in American schools. There is no "founding father" gene or element, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

If you're saying all the people who were delegates at those conventions are equally "founding fathers" because they helped forge the documents, then sure, I can respect that opinion. But some of those delegates undoubtedly played a significantly larger role in early American history than others (including the creation of those documents!). Hence why we learn about a select few of them, and not all ~100 (although I guess that would also be impractical in a school setting). The specific number 7 is a bit arbitrary, but ~10 were a lot more important than the rest.

Alright look just because a certain someone made the best of all these “style” designs doesn’t mean the motherland doesn’t deserve at least a little better.

Though the large center star is the least compelling aspect due to the similarity, perhaps it should be the same size as the others.

7 stripes for 7 core founding fathers

13 stars in a circle for the original 13 colonies

1 larger, more prominent star in the center of the 13 for E Pluribus Unum

3:5 for both flag and blue corner

Have you heard something recent? I feel Signal has been saying that for years now.

Interesting, what made you switch? I’ve never used nix but they are very similar.

Care to point me towards these lemmy guix posts?

Very nice and quite similar to my Void + River + Everforest setup

Nice to see a measured (though somewhat pro go) article about a big language’s strengths and weaknesses from someone whose been real world using it for long enough to experience the evolution of the language.

I’ve always liked go, and also think it made fundamentally good decisions and has evolved in a way that respects the original philosophy (e.g. adding generics, but only after massive consideration).

Reddit had an enormous hate totem for go, more than virtually any other language imo, and I always thought that was strange. Curious what people here think.

guix pull && guix upgrade is still a bit slow, but I never thought excessively slow (definitely slower than xbps, pacman, and probably apt too).

I guess I never thought much about it because of rollbacks, so it’s safe enough to just cron.

GNU Shepherd! Written and configurable entirely in Guile Scheme, just like Guix itself.

I have never used nix or nixos. I liked their shared idea (functional, atomic, reproducible systems), and so when I looked at their differences they seemed to all be pros for guix:

  1. Clearer, more robust, more centralized documentation
  2. GNU Project
  3. Guile Scheme (Lisp) as opposed to Nix DSL
  4. Unparalleled emacs integration

The only bittersweet aspect of guix compared to nix was the foss only stuff, as I do need some proprietary drivers, but nonguix is so easy it hasn't been a practical issue. And of course I am big advocate of free software so I like that guix is pushing that forward.

There's also a theoretical issue that guix has less packages, but the standard channel + nonguix has had everyhing I use.
