    On Ubuntu I felt that command-not-found was always too slow and always telling me things I already knew. On NixOS I love it. It's instant[0] and I really don't know where some things are[1] -- finding things in NixOS is a bit harder as there's no good equivalent of apt-file.

    [0] Is this just some kind of bias because I find it useful? I don't think so. On a pretty beefy laptop I would wait a second or more for a command to return, but on this decade-old 4G RAM machine I'm getting "[hey maybe you should nix-env -iA nixos.bazaar?]" immediately. Maybe I have less things in my PATH? Maybe the NixOS c-n-f db is smaller? No idea.

    [1] I've used nixpkgs for a year and I've been on NixOS for two weeks. I was on Ubuntu since 2004 and on Debian since 1998. Also, I admit that nixpkgs package naming is not optimal when it comes to consistency.

    I'm really happy to announce that the company I work for has just publicly opened a #Mastodon instance for all its 5000 employees.

    This is the result of an initiative @moritzheiber and I have started a year ago and have pushed through with the help of many other colleagues.

    So if you want to hear my voice as a #thoughtworker, you can follow me here: @judeswae

    Or find others to follow at https://toot.thoughtworks.com

    I'm becoming rather firmly convinced that there can be no higher purpose for computing than education. And we're doing an unbelievably shitty job of using it for that.

      from ODK Forum
      Each year, Mozilla puts on the Mozilla Global Sprint, a two-day event for volunteers around the world to contribute to open source projects. I learned about it because I'm participating in the Mozilla Open Leadership Training (more on that in another post!). The Global Sprint will take place May 10-11th, from 9am to 5pm local time. For ODK to participate as a project, all we have to do is have at least one "project lead" who will be available to help connect volunteers to tasks, work on some co...

    The Commodore PET (1977) had I think the most amazing graphics-friendly character set of all time and I sorely miss it. It was SO EASY to just pick up and start writing a beautiful tile-based game, even pseudo-3D; you almost did it by accident.

    The pinboard fella had a quote that machine learning is "morality laundering". You get to claim your AI is neutral and not racist/etc because ✨algorithms✨

    Train it with racist/etc decisions, and the same decisions come out the other side but now they're not racist/etc!

    Anyone poked at how #ActivityPub #federation between things like #mastodon and things like #peertube works or might work? Is there any point in following between one kind of server and the other kind? Or do I need to different identities?
