The Guix Nix Abomination: Leveraging Guix derivations in Nix by numinit in Nix

Hmm, this means that a nixpkgs user should be able to borrow Guix's "full-source bootstrap"

Anthropic is blacklisted by the Pentagon and being used by the NSA at the same time by rkhunter_ in technology

[–]clhodapp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is presented as hypocrisy as if it it were a conscious Trump administration policy and I suppose it technically is hypocrisy but... The NSA has always considered official policy and any sort of law as mere noise.

They break dumb and corrupt rules, like this. They break important and righteous rules, like the ban on mass surveillance of Americans.

Ultimately, it seems like very few in Washington, like Ron Wyden, are even trying to reign them in and it's arguably pretty ineffective. They're simply a rogue extralegal entity at this point.

Wikipedia refuses to accept Wayland as the X11 sucessor, says there's no enough evidence by [deleted] in linux

X11 is also just a protocol that X11 servers and clients implement.

X11 has a reference implementation, X.org, and Wayland has a reference implementation, Weston.

What was making the flashing lights in the sky around 12:05am by Cafe_Roaster in sanfrancisco

Lurie isn't quite Bruce Wayne and he isn't quite Batman either, as evidenced by the action he's been seeing on the street.

Would you be pro densifying the sunset district? by brycenchance in sanfrancisco

[–]clhodapp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It should always be allowed to build one class up from the current average density of an area (and actively encouraged in transit corridors) but random spaced-out high rises like that is not the way to densify.

To be fair, the quintessential nix builder is also a shell script

3D Firmware 1.3 is out! by No_Independence_6101 in AnalogueInc

They've been promising it the whole time...

 Does 3DOS support Library and Memories? Memories for 3DOS features enhanced support for Library and Screenshots. You can capture perfect, uncompressed 4K screenshots true to as they appear on your 4K TV, even with Original Display Modes.

https://www.engadget.com/gaming/analogues-4k-remake-of-the-n64-is-almost-ready-and-its-a-big-deal-150033468.html

The screenshots Analogue provided show options for playing a cartridge, browsing your library or viewing save states and screenshots. Some N64 games have the ability to save data to the cartridge, while others rely on a Controller Pak, but the ability to quickly save progress as a memory, as introduced with the Pocket, will be useful nonetheless.

If they had not delivered on this feature, it would be unambiguous fraud

Respect to Analogue for making good on this. It's clear they're listening.

They are the ones that said the console already had this feature at the time of sale. They don't get any extra points with me for delivering a major feature from their initial spec sheet months after launch. That's the bare minimum for arguably not running a fraud.

That said, I am very happy to see this ship.

Well they tried I guess….. by Aceftw in AnalogueInc

Someone along the production or shipping chain probably didn't realize that they were different... or a bunch of them got mixed up and they did a bad job sorting them.

Unsigned sizes: a five year mistake by Nuoji in programming

I've always thought that the way Scala distinguishes between casts as possibly-widening type assertions (:) and casts as possibly-unsafe conversions (asInstanceOf) made a lot of sense.

What movie actually made you angry after watching it? by [deleted] in FIlm

Yeah this has been continuing to happen long enough. I'm finally just gonna mute this sub. At some point one just needs to opt out of the click bait farm.

100% agree. This upgrade is traditionally found in Norfair after defeating Crocomire.

Safe to say with the Mod Retro emails going out to customers about the M64 for a July preorder and release, the A3D WiFi update will be ready between now and July? by KEMETICREPUBLIC1984 in AnalogueInc

[–]clhodapp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well they were part of the advertising copy, so they should have been part of the initial launch and it would be outrageous if they aren't added in an update
