Flakes aren't real and cannot hurt you: using Nix flakes the non-flake way
I am intrigued by this line in the description:
"Super Fast Emacs: Bleeding edge Emacs that fixes itself, thanks to a community overlay"
Could you possibly tell me (or link to the explanation) what's special about that Emacs instance? (I'll update this comment if I find a link myself)
I use this homebrew cask and have been very happy with it thus far, but I'm always up for some new exploration. https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus

Emacs 29.1 Released
Oh, I just realized I'm using https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus . I recommend using that over the default formula.
- Thinking about buying a macbook, does Emacs work well?
-
Change the emacs theme to light/dark according to the system theme
There is the code to do just that. Works with emacs-mac and emacs-plus.

Need Help with Emacs as a Noob
Firstly as others have mentioned, the default Emacs distribution in macOS is very old and Doom doesn’t support it. If you haven’t already you would be better off downloading a newer version. You can download it straight from the GNU website, but I recommend emacs-plus as it has some macOS niceties thrown in.

Emacs Web Buttons
Not a badge, but a modern icon https://github.com/SavchenkoValeriy/emacs-icons
ps. Emacs plus aggregates a great collection https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus#icons
- Reinstall emacs with native comp using brew on macos
-
Doom Emacs is broke for me and life just isn't the same
homebrew-emacs-plus generally works for me. I'd recommend it.

I asked the AI overlords for an over the top Emacs icon 😅
Awesome! You should create a PR to add it to https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus/

Tvix – A New Implementation of Nix
(Nix itself is slowly chugging along with Windows via MinGW - https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-on-windows/1113/108 and https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/1320 , for example.)

Colima k8s nix setup
Nix is a cross-platform package manager. It uses the nix programming language. Nix and NixOs are often used in the same context, but while the first is a package manager, the latter is a linux distribution based on nix.

NixOs - Your portable dev enviroment
Today I want to talk to you about Nixos. What is it? Nixos is a declarative and reproducible OS, partly taking the words used on their own page. What does that mean?

Nix – A One Pager
Software developers often want to customize:
1. their home environments: for packages (some reach for brew on MacOS) and configurations (dotfiles, and some reach for stow).
2. their development shells: for build dependencies (compilers, SDKs, libraries), tools (LSP, linters, formatters, debuggers), and services (runtime, database). Some reach for devcontainers here.
3. or even their operating systems: for development, for CI, for deployment, or for personal use.
Nix provision all of the above in the same language, with Nixpkgs, NixOS, home-manager, and devShells such as https://devenv.sh/. What's more, Nix is (https://nixos.org/):
- reproducible: what works on your dev machine also works in CI in prod,
- declarative: you version control and review your configurations and infrastructure as code, at a reasonable level of abstraction,
- reliable: all changes are atomic with easy roll back.

Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt. Using a package manager that can be installed on most distro is one way to help you get to work faster. Flatpak is one of them; other alternative are Snap, Nix or Homebrew. Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix.

Ask HN: Could Nix make crypto mining more efficient?
- it reduces bloat, because you can generate an environment or OS image with only the software needed to run a specific program or service
My guess is that a big efficiency gain would come from the second point, because you don't waste CPU on code that you don't use.
Does this make sense? Has anyone explored this?

Go + Hypermedia - A Learning Journey (Part 1)
1) Setting up the development environment - I currently use devcontainers for most things, but may also dig into nix -> isolated, portable, repeatable development environment 2) Exploring Echo - understand routing, requests, response, etc. 3) Incorporate Templ - integration with Echo, template composition, etc. 4) Integrating TailwindCSS - config for use with Echo/Templ, development cycle, deployment, etc. 5) Add in HTMX - endpoints, template structure, concepts, etc. 6) hyperscript for interactivity - client side interactivity

Nixing Technological Lock In
"Your greatest challenge lies ahead -- and downwards..."
Oh, wait a second, my bad, that's the quote on the box cover for Zork I: (
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ac/Zork_I_box_ar...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zork
)
What you really wanted was a link to where you could download Nix/NixOS -- and/or learn more about it!
Here ya go!
"Your greatest challenge lies ahead -- and downwards..."
:-) :-)
I say all of the above in the spirit of humor -- and as a NixOS user and fan!
(But yes, there is a learning curve to it, so yes, learning Nix/NixOS could be a challenge!)
((But you're a bright person, you have Google and ChatGPT to assist you, and you like challenges!))

What it was like working for Gitlab
Semi-related, I would recommend to anyone who is a Linux native to try to find some kind of "minimum viable setup" that is really really easy for you to run out of VirtualBox or Parallels or something for this reason. No matter where you go, you know you can have a suite of tools which work just as you want them to there. Being able to tear it down and rebuild it quickly is also a great way to deal with debugging certain kinds of problems of the "it runs/doesn't run on my machine" category.
How you do this is of course up to you. At one end of the spectrum is just relying on your memory. At the other end is using NixOS https://nixos.org/ to get fully reproducible builds anywhere you go. Between these are a vast field of options. I know a guy who maintains an Ansible file set to `host: localhost` which installs everything he wants from that file. For me, I just stick with the latest Ubuntu version and maintain a few shell scripts [1] that install 80% of what I like to have on a new install.
If you like the scientific approach, you can install something like https://atuin.sh/ and do some statistics on what programs you actually run most frequently based on your long term shell history.

Cloudflare R2-Backed Nix Binary Cache on Fly.io
See https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/issues/838 for making content-addressed derivations supported by hydra.nixos.org. At that point, we can actually try out the XP feature at scale.
Also see https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/8919 for this accepted RFC
Once those things are done, we can get back to merging in the IPFS code.
Now that there is an Nix team and I am on it, there is much, much less of an issue of these experiments being caught in limbo :).
