You were being a massive dick.

Think about how many columns you can fit!

We have someone at work who uses it and he’s constantly having tooling issues due to compatibility problems, so… yeah.

I’m sure it’s fine for sticking in the shebang and writing your own one-off personal scripts, but I would never actually main it. Too much ecosystem relies on bash/posix stuff.

Seems unlikely and frankly doesn’t matter much.

1GB of files is not configuration.

It came out in 2013, so no, not new at all. It was an incredibly popular song, with over a billion listens on Spotify.

1. Supposedly there’s a way to install nix without root access, but I can’t speak to it as I’ve never tried. Ofc it doesn’t require sudo to install packages or anything, though.
2. I don’t think it does this right now, largely because it’s super fucking complicated (as is basically everything Apple) and homebrew casks themselves have had a ton of headaches around it. But nevertheless, I think home-manager has some workarounds it uses itself to enable many common GUI apps on MacOS.
3. Not sure exactly what you mean, but I think it does that?

If you want to install packages purely by name, you can use nix-env -i hello or whatever. But it’s pretty janky and not really a recommended way of doing things.

Nix. I use it for everything, including all of my tools I use on my work MacBook.

There are many ways to use nix for this stuff, but personally I use home-manager in a flake-based setup. Versions of tools are all pinned in a lockfile which is committed to source control, so it’s easy to get my config and all my tools on a new machine without any breakage (it does require installing first, though).

It’s a great tool and has largely solved the pain of dealing with having to work on MacOS, for me.

Have you used Jira? It’s a memory guzzler

Kind of, though they honestly just do pretend immutability. Object references are still copied everywhere.

It has to do with countably infinite sets.

The analysis on Wikipedia does a better job of explaining the concept: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_paradox_of_the_Grand_Hotel#Analysis

The whole point is that it’s something we can prove mathematically that is highly unintuitive.

Forced to use copilot? Wtf?

I would quit, immediately.

The writing in the second season was much worse, too, unfortunately.

Admittedly I haven’t worked on any games, but if I were to do so, I always believed ECS to be the way to go: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity_component_system.

Yep, senior Haskell developer here and I have had their recruiters hounding me many times, even though I have told them to fuck off again and again.

I always find it so funny that they chose Haskell. They are desperate to hire, but no one in the Haskell community actually wants to work for them. I’m in a discord server with a bunch of veteran Haskellers and everyone there won’t touch them with a 100ft pole.

Would be the most sane thing he’s ever done.

So… Rust?

Not sure if serious or not, but yeah I use interactive rebases every day, many times a day (it’s nice for keeping a clean, logical history of atomic changes).

It’s very simple to recover if you accidentally do something you don’t intend (git rebase --abort if the rebase is still active, git reflog to find the commit before the rebase if it’s finished).

Never understood why this is such a trope. There’s very little you can’t recover in git (basically, only changes you never committed in the first place).

Yes, he is a dumbass, but frankly this is exactly what’s needed. More and more of his base having reality hit them in the face, complaining loudly, and fracturing his support.
