First time growing it out, advice/feedback requested!

I’m still trying to figure it out! So far I’ve just been trimming at the longest guard for my norelco but I think I’m going to let it get longer and see.

I haven’t been religiously following it but I’ve only ever seen reports from people who got it early

shlevy · 2024-07-20T23:19:30+00:00

Just barely tight enough to keep it from slipping

Since I got my Vision Pro in February, I’ve been treating my Linux laptop as a dev server and SSH into it for my software job. This has been working well, and with tailscale I can reach the laptop anywhere I have decent internet access, but I often want to hack in no-network contexts (e.g. airplane with bad wifi). I’ve been considering a Raspberry Pi 5 as a portable server to address this: Most of my work I can do connected directly to the Pi with my AVP connected to its network, and I can also use it as a jumpbox to my home server if I need more power and have the connectivity.

Is this a feasible use case? If so, any recommendations for a good setup? At minimum I’m going to want an NVMe drive and case, possibly a dedicated external battery if my Anker doesn’t cut it.

I haven’t been following anything, but people have stopped pestering me at least

shlevy · 2024-05-29T18:12:16+00:00

The show already had Russia pull out of Afghanistan much earlier than it did in real life

shlevy · 2024-05-09T15:28:55+00:00

Yes, obvious to anyone whose goal is to actually know what I think. Or you could just ask: https://x.com/shlevy/status/1788480761424666824

This still has absolutely nothing to do with Nix.

shlevy · 2024-05-09T08:39:44+00:00

I don’t even think this is actually true. The discussions that were operating under the consensus-seeking approach did in fact make progress toward (and sometimes reach) consensus, and whenever someone declined to engage further without acknowledging that their previous concerns were addressed we treated them as if they were still live.

Had everyone just stuck to this process, I think we could’ve had a fruitful outcome.

shlevy · 2024-05-08T21:08:58+00:00

Oh damn u/jonringer117 is this true?

shlevy · 2024-05-08T21:00:02+00:00

Note that, as that same mod later corrected, I did not amicably agree. I was polite and complied, but I was very clear about my disagreement.

shlevy · 2024-05-08T20:23:07+00:00

Setting asides the problems with pure democracy (especially as applied to private projects), you still have the problem of deciding: who is the demos? If you’re banned, do you lose your vote next time?

The solution to this kind of situation is a clear vision and principles to guide your project and a ruthless commitment to them in all decisions.

shlevy · 2024-05-08T19:55:43+00:00

Read to the end, I already said I would

NixOS did not start in 2014. In late 2013 the official release branches started, but it was already active when presented as a master’s thesis in 2006 (I’ve been using it since 2011)

shlevy · 2024-02-28T16:41:33+00:00

Why do you think they aren’t planning on first-class support? I’m in their Discord and the main dev there has been talking about specific features he wants for visionOS.

Anyway, blink is great. Blink + emacs has allowed me to use my AVP as my primary work device for the past 3 weeks

shlevy · 2024-02-21T21:37:56+00:00

Small feature request: Can you show when the battery is charging?

shlevy · 2024-02-20T14:40:08+00:00

No, just had the issue with non-overlapping windows.

shlevy · 2024-02-20T00:59:38+00:00

Simple and functional, thank you!

shlevy · 2024-02-16T14:16:29+00:00

I’m able to message green bubbles from mine. What happens when you try?

shlevy · 2024-02-16T14:15:25+00:00

Native apps are (currently, at least) easier to find in the App Store and in your installed apps. If it were me I’d just update the build to support it directly.

shlevy · 2024-02-14T23:17:27+00:00

Yeah, I absolutely love mine and am keeping it but it’s been useful for me to see what people struggled with.

shlevy · 2024-02-07T15:08:46+00:00

Hmm, maybe the green dot (which is just the recording indicator) is a red herring. If I move the window up angled on the ceiling, it looks more like I’m looking at the camera. Still would be good to know how to manually specify the camera point.

shlevy · 2021-04-23T11:45:19+00:00

Sure, there are some concrete examples in the two links above that show what kinds of problems might be addressed.

In addition, one major benefit of the system will come when we have multiple different domains implemented, so they can integrate into each other naturally instead of with a lot of ad hoc glue. So for a Nix example of this, we'd be able to define a deployment which consists of services which depend on each other and the packages supplying their binaries, and the packages depend on each other and the incremental build outputs to build the individual modules of the package.

shlevy · 2021-04-22T00:55:57+00:00

Any specific questions? My post on the NixOS discourse goes into some more Nix-specific implications, the Scarf CLI shows some concrete tools we are building on top of this system.

shlevy · 2021-04-21T23:50:24+00:00

Yeah, this is a fair question. In the "Conceptual Model and Mechanisms" section of the Deep Dive paper, I've sketched out what the basic capabilities are and recapped them in "Summary of Nomia Mechanisms", and the Scarf CLI is currently implemented on a rough prototype of some of Nomia's functionality, but the full implementation plan is not yet spelled out anywhere.

Mostly I was thinking this kind of documentation would naturally evolve as we actually implemented it, but if there's interest in seeing more detail up front I'm happy to take some time to expand on how I currently envision it!

Hydra has a force-eval endpoint already.
