Cue the "Seems there has been some confusion!" announcement in an eerily cheery tone, welp.

That's an insightful analysis. Yes, I'm relatively young (youngner than your estimate) and I'm not exactly a programmer. I'm a sailmaker, programming is merely my hobby. One that I might've indulged in a bit too much perhaps, but a hobby nevertheless. I'll keep at it.

Nix is the coolest concept ever executed in the worst way possible. I wish we used a sane DSL.

TIL the Rust crate I've used for managing my clipboard on Hyprland is created by the Niri developer.
Now I would never use Niri but this feels like betrayal. @vaxryy pls fix

Today after losing my Ubuntu dedicated server in full (RAID failure) and slowly going through the reinstallation process, I've came to appreciate NixOS more. Declarative is the future etc.

Thank you Xitter for constantly reminding me that I can follow @HSVSphere
Unfortunately I'm allergic to colorful spheres and let the record state that if I want his batshit insane takes or/and rust shilling I would simply hit him up on Discord or something.

I've done many things I've regretted in the past, but configuring Neovim in C was not one of them (lie)

I'm proud(?) to announce that I can now configure Neovim in C, Zig, Rust and... Assembly?

Unfortunately and unironically this colorful schizophrenic is the second largest reason I use Rust on an almost daily basis. The first reason being, of course, that Go is shit.
P.S. You are welcome for the advert pookie, paypal me $8 when you get the chance thanks

You are required to put on cat ears and thigh-highs to write rust, which I'm sure you could pull of. Give it a try, vaxry.

Today I was made aware that there are some people who try to manage > 10 machines without NixOS or something similar. Just rawdogging imperative distributions...
My condolences, hope you find help soon.

github.com/nix-community/nh is something I co-maintain, and replaces nixos-rebuild in some ways.
I plan to implement a Rust-based switch mechanism to replace the current perl, and the official rusty -ng
rewrite versions as well.

Respectfully, your response reads off as openly hostile towards an organization that has forked software that is free and open source. It could've been anything from a minor oversight (happens, even to the best of us) or an intentional change that you might want to reflect on.

I've created syntax-highlight.nvim based on @eNiiju's VSCode plugin with the same name. It (ab)uses Neovim's virtual text to provide a similar experience.
(P.S. Hyprland broke again, cannot uplaod files)

A weird way to state you have no friends and family but I respect the grind honestly. You may be alone but at least you are above average in math and have reasonably good lang in your toolkit...

This guy used to be my background noise when I was relatively new to Linux. Some of the bs he reported was so outrageously wrong (straight up "I made it up" levels of wrong) that I had to find a new channel. The confident inaccuracy was that bothersome.
Long live Hyphenland <3

Another note, I've noticed that my post reads to some as me refusing "novel" software. Not the case, I'm writing more about being able to find the peace rather than dropping programming. Since the post, I've completed two projects for my home network, and I am working on another.

All of my internship requests, most of which predate mainstream LLM usage, were written in perfect English with zero typos. Have you considered that they really want the position, so much so that there is actual effort put into the requests?

This is proof that @vaxryy should add hot models to the Hyprland website. Maybe one of them will date him so it's a win either way.
this guy got a 67% close rate on his sales calls by hiring a model to do literalkg nothing in the background 🤦♂️

Besides his Hyprland takes, Nick is usually *confidently* wrong on so many things he did not bother looking into properly. Used to be my background noise, the inaccuracy distracted me every single time.

To Dix yes, we love Dix at @ nh. Without having checked your PR, I'm hoping that you're writing Rustdoc for the poor fellow who'll be consuming the library output later.

As a current Hyprland worker:tm:, I can confirm that the work environment is great. I get to call vaxry an asshole in his DMs, and he sends me hentai back from time to time.

A less technical addition to "what does Rust solve" is the cognitive load. Sure it takes longer to learn compared to C, but that is only be leads to more maintainable software that you don't dread maintaining. Go leads to that, Rust does not.

Everything easy is even easier on NixOS.
Things that are not easy are not documented at all so good luck.

I have installed a R7 7700x to my desktop computer recently. It's perhaps the best CPU I could get my hands on in the current market. It feels, however, only marginally better than my R5 3600x (which is now powering my homeserver.)

Good news NH users! I've just merged github.com/nix-community/nh/… and diffing got *twice as fast*, for free! Enjoy less Python in your system closure, and faster diffing on rebuilds.

If you would like to call a simple oversight inbetween two meetings, yeah sure. Programmers are human too dipshit.

You're doing it wrong. The correct approach is "Okay I'm going insane, that's the right track" and go on until your NixOS configuration repository reaches 6000 commits.

Note, I'm not rejecting the possibility of timeliness software. On the contrary, I appreciate it as I find it. It is just that it is a very rare case, and it keeps poking that section of my mind that says "well, why don't I built the alternative?"

With C you also have task/command runners or/and bash scripts that wrap those one hundred thousand tools because who the FUCK memorizes all of those?
Unironically the reason I adopted Rust is because I was so sick of Make

Keep in mind, we are no stranger to lack of communication in the Nix/OS ecosystem. Sure, this is not a good precedence but it is not as deep and dark as Graham is making it out to be. DetSys has a history of not disclosing any conflicts of interest.
tl;dr: nothingburger, bald.

An interesting experience for me was that Linux made me kinda-maybe-possibly like computers because it is
1. A never-ending rabbit hole that I get to keep exploring
2. Not annoyingly slow to complete basic tasks
3. An excuse to never touch NTFS again (fuck NTFS)

Two weeks of constant pestering later I think @HSVSphere finished the PR he created out of spite for my code.

You had said that ears would wiggle until morale improves, but as far as I'm concerned the morale is at an all time low and there are no ears wiggling.
Please instruct.

Really is the problem here that the changes happened without communication (nothing new in the ecosystem) or that they've decided to use a fork that does not make you any money?
