Plutus, Haskell, Nix, Purescript, Swift/Kotlin. laser-focused on FP: formality, purity, and totality; repulsed by pragmatic, unsafe, “move fast and break things” approaches

Much like the fediverse, we’re very early on that technology. We’re waiting for the network effect to take hold in both areas. Once it does, things will improve significantly, IMO.
Amen. I’d love to see Home Assistant start using it. I’m not holding out hope, though, because the guy behind Home Assistant is actively hostile.
RISC-V is an open instruction set, which should be what the Pi foundation (if their open source mission is to be taken at face value) would be switching to if they weren’t just a way for Broadcom to push their chips on the maker community under the guise of open source.
RISC-V, an open-source instruction set architecture (ISA), has been making waves in the world of computer architecture. “RISC-V” stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) and the “V” represents the fifth version of the RISC architecture. Unlike proprietary architectures such as ARM and x86, RISC-V is an open standard, allowing anyone to implement it without the need for licensing fees. This openness has led to a surge in interest and adoption across various industries, making RISC-V a key player in the evolving landscape of computing. At its core, an instruction set architecture defines the interface between software and hardware, dictating how a processor executes instructions. RISC-V follows the principles of RISC, emphasizing simplicity and efficiency in instruction execution. This simplicity facilitates easier chip design, reduces complexity, and allows for more straightforward optimization of hardware and software interactions. This stands in contrast to Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC) architectures, which have more elaborate and versatile instructions, often resulting in more complex hardware designs. The open nature of RISC-V is one of its most significant strengths. The ISA is maintained by the RISC-V Foundation, a non-profit organization that oversees its development and evolution. The RISC-V Foundation owns, maintains, and publishes the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), an open standard for processor design. The RISC-V Foundation was founded in 2015 and comprises more than 200 members from various sectors of the industry and academia.
I disagree entirely. Jackie Brown is actually my favorite Tarantino film.
Tasteful and interesting.
They’ve been declining for years. It’s time the community ditched them for RISC-V machines.
Reading your replies to comments here, it’s definitely your attitude that prevented you from learning guitar. Put it down and learn piano or keyboard. However, this time, try to somehow have a positive outlook.
Who the fuck cares?
He was a brilliant filmmaker. I once got to talk with Frederick Elmes about shooting “The Killing of a Chinese Bookie”. He said, “I’d shoot it very differently today. I was so young then that I hadn’t yet developed a style.”
Wanted to perhaps introduce you to using nix along with direnv and flakes to make your dependencies declarative rather than determined by factors beyond your control.
In my bash scripts, I often create a .envrc file that points to my flake and sits alongside the bash file. Then, when I navigate into the directory of the script/project, I can make direnv and nix automatically load all dependencies (which virtually guarantees them eliminating the need to check for them).
I agree but this is the state of the nix world right now. Perhaps flakehub can help?
Yup.
I’ve been considering making an open source clone in Typescript since it won’t allow you to use imported text without making you pay.
Why are we seeing this ad?
I feel the same about Hyprland vs. Xmonad. I can’t bring myself to switch even though x11 is near dead since almost no WM can offer the configurability that comes easily in Xmonad.
To teach myself how to touch type on my split ergo keyboard, I typed out Don Quixote in full using some website where you can type the classics instead of just reading them. It was fun to see Rocinante randomly peak in from my subconscious when I looked at this post. 🙏🏼
Is docker even declarative?
Yes (though not as deterministic as Nix).
Also you can build docker images from nix derivations
Yes. I know.
Imma let you finish but Nix had the best repeatable, declarative, deterministic dependency management of all times…of all times.
I’ll give you $225 for it. ;)
