tor-browser 12.0.4 installed from scoop not functioning
In case anyone has tor-browser installed from scoop and was wondering why it might not be connecting (just stuck on "Establishing a connection" it's probably related to something like this. In any case, in the meantime installing the one from the main website will work - I did a "lazy install" by just right clicking -> 7z -> extract to torbrowser-install-win64-12.0.4_ALL folder, go to /torbrowser-install-win64-12.0.4\ALL/Browser/) and launch firefox.exe and you should be good to go.

A simple script that should completely work but doesn't end up working
`json_file_from_scoop` actually is from here if the filename matches.

One Commander V3 - File manager with dual-pane browsing, tabs, columns navigation, editable themes and icons, and more. See 4 screenshots and first comment for info and free download
Would you please consider creating a package for Chocolatey and/or adding it to the extras bucket for Scoop? I think it's always better when the authors of the programs are also the maintainers of the packages, but I understand if it's outside your scope.

Ungoogled Chromium updater for windows?
Try scoop, it's in the "extras" bucket. The portable version seems to be outdated and stuck on version 85 for some reason, but the regular ungoogled chromium version seems to be kept up to date.

Nix: The Breaking Point
I don't think so. The article is probably intended for the Nix community, so the author doesn't need to convince HN that something is going on. If as an outsider you are interested then you need to look into it yourself, the community has no obligation to make their internal conflicts legible to the outside world.
As an outsider myself, it certainly looks like something is going on as more than 20 Nixpkg maintainers left in a week: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues?q=label%3A%228.has%3...

NixOS Is Not Reproducible
Yes, Nix doesn't actually ensure that the builds are deterministic. In fact it works just fine if they aren't. There are packages in nixpkgs that aren't reproducible: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aiss...

The xz attack shell script
I'm not familiar with Bazel, but Nix in it's current form wouldn't have solved this attack. First of all, the standard mkDerivation function calls the same configure; make; make install process that made this attack possible. Nixpkgs regularly pulls in external resources (fetchUrl and friends) that are equally vulnerable to a poisoned release tarball. Checkout the comment on the current xz entry in nixpkgs https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/comp...

Debian Git Monorepo
NixOS uses a monorepo and I think everyone's love it.
I love being able to easily grep through all the packages source code and there's regularly PRs that harmonizes conventions across many packages.
Nixpkgs doesn't include the packaged software source code, so it's a lot more practical than what Debian is doing.
