Spore, to linux in What are your opinions of Guix?

Nobody has mentioned that Guix is readily available on NixOS right now? Add a line to your config and it’s ready to go. Compatible with everything else.

Spore, to linux in What are your opinions of Guix?

You can use Nix on Guix System and vice versa, but it’s like installing them as a package manager on a foreign system. The store and packages currently are completely isolated between the two, although there’s a very early plan for a common store interface.

Spore, to linux in What are your opinions of Guix?

No, monadic interface is used to programmatically access the store instead of being used to define packages. Packages are pure in Guix.

Spore, (edited ) to linux in What are your opinions of Guix?

Guix uses Guile everywhere. Nix uses string interpolated Bash and Perl for anything impure.

Now what do you think?

Spore, to linux in What are your opinions of Guix?

Fyi, it’s now available on nixos.

Spore, (edited ) to linux in Redox OS - an OS built entirely out of Rust

I think there’s no need to stick with one particular language. It benefits to learn more languages and bring the “good parts” of their design into your code whatever you are writing it in.

Btw It happens that I’ve learned a bit of RISC-V, with Rust.

I’d say no. Programming safely requires non-trivial transformation in code and a radical change in style, which afaik cannot be easily done automated.

Do you think that there’s any chance to convert from this to this? It requires understanding of the algorithm and a thorough rewrite. Automated tools can only generate the former one because it must not change C’s crooked semantics.

Well, they are not going to release in between, but their rewrite still “works” at each commit being a hybrid of Rust and C++.

  1. breaks compatibility
  2. breaks compatibility
  3. breaks compatibility
  4. hard to add without breaking compatibility

Then we arrive at Rust as a natural outcome.

And it’s of course possible to migrate to Rust from C or C++ progressively, fish has almost got it done.

Spore, to linux in A symptom of linux past traumas

Yeah, I literally learnt how nix works through guix documentations.

Spore, to linux in Wine Wayland Driver Lands Improved HiDPI Support

I believe that I’m already using it on NixOS. Working without visible problems since half a year ago.

Spore, to linux in [Old 1997 story] The Greatest OS That (N)ever Was

A git server don’t need to know email to work, and it is not required to have a git server. Email in this workflow is an alternative to a PR: contributor submit a set of commits to the maintainer (or anyone interested). Then the maintainer is free to apply or merge the commits. After that the code can be pushed to any servers.

Honestly I’m surprised that so many people don’t know how git can be used without those repository hosting sites. That’s one way to use it, not the only way. And it’s not even the way it was originally designed for.

Checkout git format-patch.

Spore, (edited ) to linux in [Old 1997 story] The Greatest OS That (N)ever Was

Git and Email are not mutually exclusive. In order to collaborate with git, you need and only need a way to send your commits to others. Commits can be formatted as plain-text files and sent through emails. That is how git has been used by its author from literally the first release of it.

Spore, to linux in Trying Out & Benchmarking Bcachefs On Linux 6.7

Kent just made a reply on this.

TL;DR: Fast on his machine. The reason of the difference is unclear though.
