I do this with my kernel & a couple of applications that either compile super fast anyhow or at runtime benefit from further compiler optimizations.

NixOS & OpenWRT are my two. NixOS’s Nix language as declarative config is such a great tool for setting up & maintaining a machines for the long-term that despite the initial learning curve has paid off in the long run (Guix or a Nix successor should also be in the same category). OpenWRT is the purpose-built tool it is for having an OS for a router with low overhead & a UI that can be easier to understand the config when networking isn’t something you do on the regular.

Dongles create additional & unnecessary points of failure in your setup (sometimes additional stress on the USB jack too which is usually your only I/O port (which is also making you choose charging or power)). Personal devices that play media need this standard jack that has existed for decades—& I refuse to play ball with these OEMs hurting customers.

And that is exactly what I am running—and without regret since the OEMs are screwing over users just to sell branded Bluetooth earbuds whose batteries will die & not be repairable in a year for you to buy another set. I will not participate in this.

OCaml has ppx_deriving. PureScript has derive instance.

Like how the GOP crumbled after two Obama losses to put in a ‘populist’ in Trump, the DNC should fold over, kick out the donors, fire everyone & let the populist movement Bernie really kicked off take over, & let Bernie lead it while he has the vigor to do the leading but not run for presidency. Neocons on both sides should be exiled (lol at taking the Cheney endorsement). A wave of young voters & workers would love to see such a populist overthrow of the establishment (even if they don’t yet understand that what they really want is to overthrow capitalism).

Instead the DNC will adopt the Haskell programming language motto: avoid success at all costs.

Which of these smart phones lets me have a headphone jack… ’cause that is how I will choose. I can patch software & be wary about how I use the device, but I can’t just add I/O to the hardware. Until the Pixel brings back the jack, it is dead to me.

That’s good too. Not a Monero hater or a Zcash fanboy—I just think we need to be honest about the capabilities even if the methods of getting there are different.

It does add a level of convenience for the type of transaction you might want to actually be tracked all being on the same currency. Most don’t even offer the option. Zcash can do the thing—it’s just not the only way.

Depends how you view it & how green the grass is on the other side. Personally the Forgejo approach of copying MS GitHub to ease onboarding doesn’t resonate with me as a user over, say, making a better product by fixing some of the major flaws like the pull request model being a major slowdown, CI in YAML soup, needless social features… but others prefer this approach & a rocked boat is scary.

I had one with fresh minced mint + basil along with diced bittersweet chocolate & it went so beyond the average enjoyment of mint chocolate.

Not just community managed but operated as a non-profit. Codeberg won’t be scraping your deleted history to train their LLMs that they will sell back to you unlike Microsoft.

I am still convinced Git is overrated & overly complicated—and it is a shame all of the decent forges (even basic ones) are all built around Git.
