If the cryptocurrency ecosystem “falls” in on itself, it probably still won’t disappear because it’s almost . It’s how we westerners do things. ;-) Magic is real, but strangely selective?

Very tempted to stick GNU Guix somewhere in my main workflow — Guile Scheme looks interesting. I’m sorta curious as to why people like Lisp languages so much. The plan is to read the reference manual. (yeah… right)

Nix/NixOS are great for documenting system configurations/models, but the long evaluation times make for slow feed back loops.

My knowledge of the functional ecosystem is mostly diddly, but maybe there’s a way to speed it up? Ignore all module and package imports and piece together a minimal evaluation perhaps?

nix
{ ... }:

{
  imports = [
    <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/programs/git.nix>
    <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/security/auditd.nix>
    <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/databases/postgresql.nix>
  ];

  nixpkgs.overlays = [
    (_: pkgs: {
      cpio = pkgs.callPackage <nixpkgs/pkgs/tools/archivers/cpio/default.nix> { };
    })
  ];
}

If that goes anywhere, maybe that’s an article, but I’m fairly certain someone must have tried something like this already.

nikitonsky: Multi-line strings is such an underappreciated concept by modern designers. When given the choice — show full information or cut it the always choose cut. Why?

The static versus dynamic site wars are mostly conflicts over where discomfort and computation should happen at increasing scale. You’ll either be lagging/computing on the server side, the client or, maybe somewhere in between.

Hmm, this theme now coerces hugo into generating/bootstrapping authors from the site configuration file. The test result? @nobody. Might be an interesting pattern. Data mounting operates a bit strangely underneath the hood though, this issue (~2yrs) might be one to watch, but not too sure.
