@davidrevoy The cat and mouse interaction is hilarious on the illustration. Love it. Cheers.

@janellecshane Ase those standing penguins even real? Look them straight in the eyes and say ‘yes’.

@ebassi Thank you. That series is great!

@zacchiro AAaaaa, James Mickens! Cheers! Watching ASAP.

@Ninjatrappeur ‘meatspace’ 😹 Hilarious. Sounds like a dystopian sci-fi nomenclature used by AI robots to describe places where humans gather. Cheers.

I understand the desire to improve Nix but that only benefits Nix. That’s the price to pay for DSL.
Improving an eDSL automatically benefits the host language ecosystem. I love it; that creates more diverse community.

Please, don’t take it as a criticism of Nix but as the explanation why I, personally, don’t follow Nix and its ecosystem anymore.

@Ninjatrappeur I wasn’t aware of it (there were more typed nix initiatives in the past but I didn’t pay attention cuz I think DSL approach is a mistake).
I’d love to have Typed Guile in Guix (or even Guix-like *e*DSL but in Haskell/OCaml) and we are not alone in that desire https://github.com/taktoa/typed-guile/blob/master/Roadmap.rst

Though I didn’t investigate this area yet. A pure source bootstrap is more important to me today than benefits of a proper type system https://gitlab.com/janneke/mes
Of course having both would be ideal.

@privacylab @diggity O M G, thank you so much for paying attention. Cheers.

@unfa Do it!

@privacylab @diggity FYI No fav/boost cuz 🖐 medium.com 🖑

“Back when fMRI was developed, back in the ’90s, what we call the “bad old days” of neuroimaging, there was a lot of what we called “Blobology”: putting people in scanners and hunting around for “blobs” of activity in the brain.” ― http://nautil.us/issue/60/searches/why-happiness-is-hard-to-findin-the-brain

PS I have a feeling that we are still in “bad old days” of programing.

@ayo My OpenWRT router drops 1/3 of pings. I have no idea why. So I relate and wish you good luck with solving those issues.

@InvaderXan What estimation model did you use to come up with 6300?

How 6300 look in comparison to CO₂ absorption by organisms in oceans? Does ‘Earth's surface’ include those?

@hund that experience is diametrically different in declarative distros like NixOS or GuixSD.

It’s basically:
1. Here is a file describing how my system should look like.
2. Make it so.
3. Thank you very much.
