the @markov channeling someone channeling Bruce Schneier best @markov

Just imagine a world where the NSA's funding was used to make a verifiably secure computing solution instead of undermining the foundation of cryptography standards.
-
So instead of src = path you have src = "...mkDerivation { ... name = "foo"; outputHash = "213ö3lkjasdsdfölkj2ljk"; }" and that's fine because that's reproducible from a certain point of view.
-
Ok, enough vagueposting.
You generate a .nix and it has a derivation with "src = /nix/store/qweölkrjsf43-blah/foo". Then you get "error: access to path '/nix/store/qweölkrjsf43-blah/foo' is forbidden in restricted mode".
So I just figured, ok I'll take the hash of the directory, and then make a fixed-output derivation with that hash, where the build script actually does nothing, but that's ok because the build script will never run.
And as it turns out, it actually won't. Merely taking the hash of that directory makes it appear in the store with the right filename and all.

"Alright, ok, I can imagine why that would work. But in this situation over here, will it really ... oh my."

@quad @sim @thatbrickster @dtluna @rice To be fair, SQL Server is amazing value for money compared to all other proprietary databases, in particular Oracle.

@thatbrickster @sim @dtluna @rice @quad "Alright, fine, I can relieve you of the burden of those awful old and slow troglodytes. Here's my address."

@rice @sim There's one network admin I know who can hold his own.
But IT education is trash in Norway, so all my other colleagues and all the other external consultants can only do Windows Server.
I know Windows Server still dominates most smaller business setups. But in Norway it's absolutely ridiculous. Linux is almost viewed as an alien wherever you go. You can get a $50/hour top of the line IT consultant here and they don't even know the difference between "Ubuntu" and "Linux", but instead they've basically memorized every registry key that Windows uses.
IT sector seems inhumanly Windows-focused here

In the middle of solving a problem with strict Nix builds:
"Hang on, I'm going about this all wrong. I can't just do this little thing here and then expect it to magically Just Work. Anyway, let's run it and see where it breaks."
It magically Just Works.

(Unhyperbolically, I think we actually have 14 sockets, of which 6 in the bedroom. We're *very* fortunate. First apartment out of 5 that has been this good socket-wise.)
-
Also, they have nine sockets above the stove/workbench/sink area.
We have like nine for our whole apartment. And we're *lucky*. In a HK apartment it's usually more like "Power sockets? Yeah, there's a socket.". :-)
Extension cords galore.
-
It's not necessarily immediately intuitive. Like, you might think "that's not volume efficient". Yeah, but that corner between wall and cabinet is dead volume anyway, not much you could use it for.
Putting these under the cabinet would be inconvenient to work with, and putting them vertically on the wall would steal wall area. And note how a plug can fit with cable pointing either up or down and either way there's enough distance for the cable to veer off neatly.
-
My parents have had this kitchen for years, but I still occasionally think "wow, this arrangement of these sockets is really really neat". https://social.heldscal.la/attachment/1553006

> The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarise: it is a well known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarise the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarise the summary of the summary: people are a problem.

@vertigo @galaxis I'm not under the impression that these games require acceleration or other expansions. Some of them are even available for C16 and Plus 4.
-
@morph My interpretation is that the chronological sequence is like this:
1) Kim and Trump agree to meet, mostly thanks to China putting pressure on Kim. Why China is acting different now than in the last three decades, nobody but Xi and friends knows.
2) Trump tours the country, patting himself on the back for how awesome he is to achieve progress with Kim. He is now invested in the meeting.
3) Kim starts threatening to cancel the meeting, meaning that he is expecting concessions to stay on track and save Trump's face, as Trump has already taken credit for a meeting that didn't yet happen.
4) Trump goes "you can't fire me, I quit!" to save face and not risk a Neville Chamberlain moment.
-
@vertigo @galaxis I just meant that in the last 30 years people have learned things that enable them to make games today that nobody in the 80s knew how to do. Yes, maybe you need acceleration to do anything but still images with FLI and still have CPU time left, but FLI is just one example.

> Between 2012 and 2016 Kim carried out the biggest purge seen in North Korea since the days of his grandfather. South Korea’s Institute for National Security Strategy has reported the execution of 140 senior military officers and government officials. Another 200 have been removed or imprisoned.
