I'm currently using direnv + 1password + https://github.com/tmatilai/direnv-1password. `direnv` to load shell environment dynamically upon entering a directory. It can load static .env files, but can also source shell…
Most services are connected through SSO, so those won't have passwords and are automatically shut down when the user leaves the company. All employees also have a 1password account for which we can store individual…
Completions need to do arbitrary computation. A command like `git switch` needs to find what branches are available in the repository.
For many phones it is possible to change the exposed protocol from mtp to mass storage. Mass storage does need an image file with fat filesystem to work on most devices. It nowadays is not possible to expose the phones…
I've worked on DriveDroid. There were indeed people who have done this. Best example of such a use-case was someone who wanted to make an old printing press fetch files its files from the internet. The press only had an…
Personally, I think because its feature-set is currently very much "scattered". Nix is in the transition to use 'flakes': a new concept that gives a bit more structure and allows easier reuse of Nix packages, NixOS…

I have used the app variant. It's kind of fun to see progress by planting bigger and bigger trees in a forest. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cc.forestapp
I don't know how NetBSD handles this, but for any provider that doesn't allow you to use custom ISO's or ipxe, you can use [nixos-in-place](https://github.com/jeaye/nixos-in-place). I've used it before. It isn't ideal,…
Nix itself does indeed work on the latest version of WSL. However, there are still issues with building most of the packages from nixpkgs. For instance, I'm still waiting for this issue to be solved:…
Also, for convenience, nested objects/attrsets can be shortened. For instance: { a = { b = { c = 3; }; }; } can be shortened to: { a.b.c = 3; } This is used quite often in NixOS system configuration files. There you'll…
IMO, this is exactly right. Not only is the quality of APIs often a disaster, the recommendations/best practices that Google is broadcasting have been way off in the past. Rememember that Google has been advocating…
Wouldn't it be better to create serialization functionality at compile-time? In the Java space some libraries are moving to compile-time code generation instead of relying on reflection. It is a huge win, since a lot…
This is what I do as well. One raspberry pi with all the required connections (Z-Wave USB controller, IR emitter and a wire to my PC) with an extremely simple node application that serves urls like /lights/on,…
I was looking for the same thing and found this: http://www.falstad.com/circuit/ It shows blocks traveling across wires/circuits. You can create your own circuits and see what happens. It's not just for logic, but you…
You can check the 2nd and 3rd groups when using /(^\/foo\/bar$)|(^\/foo\/bar\/\d+$)/: > /(^\/foo\/bar$)|(^\/foo\/bar\/\d+$)/.exec('/foo/bar') [ '/foo/bar', '/foo/bar', undefined, index: 0, input: '/foo/bar' ] >…
> Of course there are exceptions {...} put it in a tarball in /opt, make some symlinks to /usr/local This becomes unmanageable once you need to do that for multiple applications. Different applications need different…
This could have been solved on a different level. If the right architecture was in place Steam didn't need to solve it. You can have multiple shared libraries of the same name, but different major versions. Applications…
The current packaging systems has problems. You cannot install just any version of any application on your system, but a lot of people want that. A nice example is games. You want to install a game on your system…
I totally agree. I was very surprised Nix wasn't mentioned once in the article. They seem to be solving the same problem, but in a way that should work across different setups (no btrfs requirement for instance).…
Nice clean library. I guess the vector object is kept mutable because of performance reasons? When actually calculating with this I see a lot of copying (and thereby allocating) going on. For a while I've been looking…
I work on DriveDroid on and off. It's an Android app where you can 'host' ISO/IMG files as if they were real CD/USB drives. It makes it possible to, for example, boot your PC from your phone with live Linux distros.…
I haven't been following the development of this package manager, but previous attempts at making a package manager for Rust have failed. Is this package manager supported officially now? I really hope it will stick…
That's not really fair. Should all developers implement this? Only for gmail or also googlemail? Maybe yahoo does something similar? This will get messy quickly.
