    Then the pirated version still slows your system down because it bundles a crypto miner

    Could anyone explain the linguistics around the word "shit"?
  • this is pretty essential

    I would add:

    Shit head: a negative term for a person who likely is toxic or caustic for other negative reasons

    Shitter: a person who may enjoy shit head humor. One who shit is not necessarily negative like shit head. Could be used to casually downplay a type of humor (lightly positive) or to dismiss a type of behavior (lightly negative)

    That's the proof man, it's literally on the bills. We can literally see it

    Also, what do you mean keep my story straight next time? It's not controversial at all that the US gets involved in military conflicts for oil or financial control (neorealism, neoliberalism). Oil is just one of the many incentives which makes the USD arguably dirty

  • The US Dollar is not only backed by oil, but also American banking imperialism.

    Im against the war on drugs too. But speaking of drugs, weed is schedule 1, where Xanax is schedule 4 (low risk of abuse). It's completely upside down and not accurate. That said, the harmfulness of the substance and being for or against the war on drugs is completely separate from the fact that there's cocaine on literally every single dollar bill. Money is the dirtiest thing in general, and by those metrics, the US Dollar is dirtier

  • Had a lot of headaches the last week or two trying to optimize star citizen as well as fix a vulkan RHI bug which was affecting unreal engine games.

    Apparently rolling release schedules (like NixOS23.05, 23.11, 24.05...) are better for servers since they're less prone to change, where as nightlies like for the unstable Branch are better for gaming since those latest drivers are likely the current ones for a newly released game

    math is hard
  • I know, but to me this meme doesn't make sense to me unless I assume the person reading the math Expression is interpreting its real world application.

    25 / 5 = 5 and nobodies head exploded. That's just evaluating a math Expression. .25 / .5 = .5 is the same. It's not a "my brain can't comprehend how to evaluate expressions" as the meme suggests.

    However, if someone who doesnt do much algebra thought to themselves "I need half of a quarter", then I could understand why their brain might "hurt" as the meme suggests, for a similar reason why adding 20 degree Celsius water to 20 degree Celsius water doesn't make 40 degree Celsius wate

    I'm probably reading into it too much, but the meme just doesn't feel like a "mind fuck that keeps me up at night". I'm looking for reasons to try and explain it, but it's just a math expression at the end of the day

  • The math looks perfectly fine. But when people phrase "half of a quarter" I think they have (1/2)*(1/4) in mind, instead of 0.25/0.5

  • I want to start a new project, and I want to try to handle all the reproducibility / "containerization" in nix instead of dockerfiles. I see some examples online but I think they're including more uncommon procedures and/or don't do things the "nix" way.

    What's the right way to manage a simple python project? Should I just make a derivation.nix for use in nix-shell -p and have the ephemeral shell be my container? Can/should I do it with nix flakes instead? What would a simple nix flake look like that:

    pulls an initial python repo from github

    possibly executes whatever build instructions might be included

    extends other system packages or other versions of the same python package,

    has local area network access,

    and GPU access

    I see you can delete everything older than some period of time, but what if I want some older than a year? Or should it be interpreted that: whatever build configuration was used, it is tested thoroughly at that point, and it would be better to rebuild from a nix configuration stored on git?

    Edit: my issues came from copying source .nix configurations for the pig manager, not configurations that I would include on my computer. Finding how to include what where was much easier with search.nixos.org

    Hi, I've finally cleansed my system of windows and switched fully into nix. I want to learn this OS the right way, but have ran into some noob troubles. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ideally, these changes are things I would include in my configuration.nix

    • How to install electrum wallet on nixos? I found this default.nix for electrum and thought it would be as easy as nix-build default.nix but was mistaken. It says " cannot evaluate a function that has an argument without a value ('fetchurl') Nix attempted to evaluate a function as a top level expression" but on a later line that value is inputted to the function (if I understand right)

    > src = fetchurl { url = "https://download.electrum.org/${version}/Electrum-${version}.tar.gz"; sha256 = "sha256-BxxC1xVKToUjgBo4mEeK9Tdhbd/+doHcTTJsXDtaELg="; };

    Spez, Musk, and Zuckerberg are secretly good guys

    They're sabotaging their social media firms right when campaign season is about to start in America. By making their apps so inaccessible, they're minimizing the impact of that data being used in targeted ads, preventing another Cambridge Analytica scenario from happening.
