Because the nix package manager places all system packages under /nix/store/uniquehash-packagename-version/

Where the unique hash is obtained via a Merkel tree of all the inputs. So in particular, binaries and libraries exist underneath those directories, not in the places you would expect from FHS.

In order to make the system actually work, environment variables are set up and executables are patched to refer to specific paths within the Nix Store.

Correction, it is two tacos. One flipped upside down and rotated 90 degrees and placed on top of the other.

In engineering, there is an idea called hierarchy of controls.

Traffic calming is a “substitution” of the hazard. It, like unexpected construction, forces drivers to slow down due to the road not being psychologically safe to drive fast on.

Speed limits are an “administrative control” on the other hand.

People will drive as fast as they (possibly incorrectly) feel is safe, and a lot goes into that, of which speeding fines are only one very small part. If you really want safe streets for pedestrians and motorists, it is just not as effective an option.

Additionally, I’m level certain that Tory austerity is not really a viable excuse here, because I’m sure that there are ongoing efforts to “alleviate the traffic problem” by adding capacity. It’s not that the money doesn’t exist, it’s that the money doesn’t exist for this. Because elected officials aren’t interested in this, because they’re more interested in fine revenue and keeping car people happy.

Make Inkscape installed through Flatpak callable in the terminal as 'inkscape'?

I have a Python-package that calls Inkscape as part of a conversion process. I have it installed, but through Flatpak. This means that calling inkscape does not work in the terminal, but rather flatpak run org.inkscape.Inkscape. I need the package to be able to call it as inkscape....

Thanks, I wasn’t sure it worked in sh. I’ve been surprised a lot before by seemingly simple stuff like this.

Horseradish wasabi is good. I’ve also had real wasabi, which is even better.

You can always configure the garbage collection to reduce disk space usage, or manually run it.

The shittiest thing is that they’re not actually good at it. We generally use compactness as a proxy for a gerrymandered district. However, you can effectively gerrymander using extremely compact districts. youtube.com/watch?v=Lq-Y7crQo44

This is terrifying, and a strong reason to move to multimember districting.

Does this scope do Fourier analysis? If so, can you see which frequencies are being suppressed? Does this suppression at this frequency also occur with generated white noise?
