I also loved 3, "Songs of Conquest" has been an enjoyable spiritual successor for me recently even if the base game is quite limited on factions and a number of mechanics differ. I'm also keeping an eye on "Heroes of…
I know it technically isn't true and I use the word 'practically' deliberately. The problem is that as soon as you opt into one part of nixpkgs (say a compiler) you end up implicitly opting into large parts of it…
I don't really like Nix but it's probably fine for this - you have files that come in, a build step, and output files. Your derivations (build recipes) are functions that can take arguments to e.g. provide a set of…
Nix is very awkward (and slow) to use for fine-grained caching, which is price of entry for a decent build system. It also comes (practically) shackled to nixpkgs which is a barely-documented cataclysm of packages that…
Every single time Claude has confused me and I've asked what it's talking about, it's because it's got something completely wrong and has managed to obfuscate the wrongness behind never-introduced terminology, poor…
I think you've linked to a private repository.
Fair enough, would love to see another writeup on the performance you observe even if it fails - in practice numbers are hard to come by.
I've recently been going down the rabbit hole of creating a "fast start dev env" and it's interesting to see how this article differs from other approaches (codesandbox has some fantastic blogs, the fly.io blog on…
I'm super interested to hear more on anything you can share about your projects, or the niche of gov projects you're aware of - I've been doing some work with gov and haven't seen this requirement yet, so want to be…
One annoying part of using chroot if you're creating them on the fly is teardown - you have to manually invoke umount, and also take care to get this right for partially created chroots (maybe you detected an error…
As a number of comments have noted, there are a bunch of different axes that chroot could be 'better' on - e.g. security and sandboxing. I wrote https://github.com/aidanhs/machroot (initially forked from bubble wrap) a…
Out of curiosity, what would you say the current state of the art is for full compilable decompilation? This is something I have a vague interest in but I'm not involved enough in the space to be on top of the latest…
Right, because Anyscale found a niche that distributed compute matters in (AI) and built great libraries/hosted platforms/services around that. I would venture that the money they make from people who pare back things…
The company I work at (Hadean) used to have this as a product - think erlang-like multi machine IPC, with automatic acquisition of cloud resources and language integration for Rust, C, C++, Python. Pretty easy to point…
First a minor quibble: if you're talking about 'Nix data', then starting the conversation by talking about 'Nix-the-language' is rather misleading. That aside, Nix allows you to create infinite datastructures, e.g. $…
Of my series of PRs, I suspect the third (i.e. https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/pull/3043) is most likely to have an effect. But if it does it'd only be as a side effect unfortunately - my focus was on fixing lag…
I didn't believe you that it was broken, but you're right - very disappointing. For anyone interested, the bug for it being is at [1] (reported mid 2021). The build failure is easy to fix, so I created a repo at [2]…

Readers please note that sccache isn't just for Rust, and isn't just caching! It has a number of features, combining capabilities of ccache/distcc/icecream for C, C++ and Rust...along with some unique things that I've…
I recently refactored some traits that had a lot of repetitive noise in the generic type parameters (which end up being reflected in function signatures etc). I went about this without really being overly aware of GATs…
In the context of the GDPR, I just want to remind people of this thread where a HN user invokes their rights in order to make Spotify back down on a change that would have locked user playlists into their service for no…
This is exactly what I was hoping for! If you just copied and pasted this into the documentation directly, that'd be more than enough. Thanks for writing it out so clearly and creating the issue.
First off, I love zstd and thanks for your work - I've used it multiple times with great success. My question is...what's up with zstd compression levels? It seems to be impossible to find documentation on what the…
(disclosure: I don't use tasker and am not associated with them, I do work on something in the similar space of "compute without servers") First, you're coming at this from the wrong perspective. The OP is about…
In the concrete context of the post you're replying to, you seem to be saying that women are 'vulnerable people'? I'd suggest picking a definition of 'vulnerable people' that doesn't mean pushing away half the world's…
