@jonringer117 @therealdisasm @esrtweet Could you make a video showing the progress so far? Only if you have time, of course.

@therealdisasm @esrtweet @DooMWhiteX I'm making progress on making Ekapkgs. Almost done with replacements for hydra (CI/CD), nix-update, nixpkgs-update, templete maker, and just published the nix-book last week. Before the end of the year, I hope it's viable. github.com/ekala-project/…

In response to my previous thread asking about the feasibility of switching to Arch, several people recommended NixOS instead. That's not going to happen, and I'm sad about it. Because technically I'm extremely attracted to the Nix model. How could I not like declarative system specification with guaranteed safe rollback? That would be ideal. As an old Lisp-head, I probably would have opted for the Guix variant that uses Guile/Scheme as an extension language. Unfortunately, I have a friend who was a long time NixOS user who bailed out last year. He's given me a detailed and hair-raising report on why. I'll get back to that. He says the design of NixOS is very Eric-shaped. He knows how much I like substituting declarative specifications driving simple engines for ad-hoc procedural logic (see for example loccount), and NixOS do be like that. Unfortunately, he also says the NixOS developer community has become dysfunctional and insane. By his account, the woke mind virus took hold, drove away a lot of capable people, and addled the brains of most of those who remained. That's why he bailed out. I have no reason to disbelieve him about this. It's a movie I've seen before. He has a secondary technical criticism that Nix has a bad case of not invented here and builds a lot of bespoke machinery that would be unnecessary if it were willing to take full use of Linux's native namespace and containerization hooks. But they want to be fully portable to things like *BSD, so that hasn't happened. The technical choice is defensible, and could be fixed. The mind-rot in the developer community probably isn't fixable. All you can usually do in cases like that is ignore the project and let it die. So, no NixOS for me. Dammit. Communists ruin everything they touch.

this complete autist Joe Hahn watched the Bond movie and thought to himself "yeah man this exact melody, just reversed, and then added loop beat in the end would slap no?" then they keep it as an easter egg for over two decades? absolutely insane

Seriously. When did we forget how to make “a cord that doesn’t break in a week”? We used to endlessly fidget with that telephone cord. Then we used it as a whip. Then we tied things up with it. And the darn thing still worked for another three decades before we bought a new phone. Not because the cord (or the phone) was broken… just because we wanted a new wireless one that didn’t need the (apparently indestructible) cord.

@SinkingStarGame Ohhh

Onwards and upwards! We might have some exciting news for you later this month, so watch this space 👀 📝 Wishlist Order of the Sinking Star on Steam > bit.ly/m/SinkingStarG… #puzzle #game #SinkingStar

@WickyNilliams @rfleury Doesn't IPC do exactly that?

@rfleury Yes. That we cannot pipe data from one GUI to another is an utter failure of our industry

The programmability and composability of the CLI and the visually rich interactivity of a GUI are not mutually exclusive. On today’s platforms they are segregated, but in the future a shell could exist that provides both in one form.

@vkrajacic It is so funny people will argue against static linking then go ahead and ship docker containers

How did we get here?

What the fuck

Actually learned something from this.

Lucian's hair may not be blue Like Lea's - but Crosscode by @RadicalFishGame is one of our greatest inspirations for our game, Colossus - Eternal Blight. Btw, we cannot WAIT for Alabaster Dawn #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #crosscode #pixelart

Hype!

Jakob, who I founded Mojang with, got his twitter account hacked, and "he"'s posting stuff in defense of AI programming. This is further evidence that the AI programming hype is being falsely inflated by people who desperately want to change the narrative.

@tsoding Also zig!

I don't know how but somehow Go's unused variable error is more annoying than Rust's borrow checker. That's quite an achievement.

GitHub outages since Microsoft acquisition 🤣

@Jonathan_Blow 🚨🚨BREAKING NEW MODEL!!🚨🚨

Today we released the new version of our AI. It is the best AI for every purpose and we are also very responsible. Give us more money now. Here are some charts showing this AI is exactly the same as the previous one, except we juiced the benchmarks by epsilon:
