No, not a surprising result. A perfectly expected result.

Working 40 hours a week is too much. "Working" 50 hours a week is absurd. Occasional crunches are ok of course, but as a constant minimum, those are just idiotic numbers, and people who support this sort of work ethic should be deeply ashamed and possibly fired.

Even though the function's name is unveil, I'm thinking that this feature is for denying access rather than allowing. In that sense, I think it's a useful protection measure that the new directory doesn't suddenly become visible in your example -- smells like an attack vector. Also, I would guess that doing these checks via pathname every time files are accessed would have to be pretty bad for performance.

If such a feature is wanted, I would think that the daemon can just call unveil again when it's doing an automatic recovery.

Why would the user do that? You don't move away a program's data dir while it's running and expect everything to just work, right?

Not sure if this is exactly what you meant by discoverability, but this page helps with at least seeing what configuration options are available: https://nixos.org/nixos/options.html# -- no other distro has anything similar as far as I know.

The language is not too bad, but how it should be used is the missing part. Like a cookbook or a properly populated Stack Overflow site.

When I was on Linux, I liked to distro hop few times a year. Whenever I got back to NixOS, I felt that I had to relearn everything, and that there was nothing to grasp on to. I always take that as a bad smell.

Well, I have theories. One, it breaks habits. You may have teached yourself over the years to procrastinate during the day, but not during the night.

Two, you know it's painful enough that you'd rather not waste the time doing something stupid and worthless.

Three, it lowers your mental state enough that you'll just drudge on like a robot.

Why don't people understand that crowdfunding is not indie shopping? It's a high risk investment. You support projects you believe in (in the religious sense of the word) and if you're lucky, you might get something.

When I wrote Mastering Rust, I did most of the work during the only available productive hours of the day: 20-05. Amazing legal narcotics i.e. coffee helped quite a lot.

I wasn't miserable, but that's mostly due to the excitement of progressing.

How does this tool keep stupid and evil people from participating?

Thanks, that's much better. I think it shows that Mojave renders the fonts clearly better: check out for instance 'll' in 'ullamco'. Generally, almost identical pictures though.

Come on, no they're not. Those screenshots are virtually identical.

I've been using Linux for 2 decades, and this year I moved to MacOS, with the newest MacBook and a 5K iMac. Everything pretty much just works, is much prettier by default than I ever got my Linux installations to be.

Given my experiences, I have full trust that the MacOS engineers will do good stuff with Mojave too, at least eventually. I still like Desktop Linux, though, and sincerely wish it will be as good some day. It most definitely is not today.

It's interesting how the people who "do things correctly" and the people who "do things usably" almost never are the same people.

Could it be that these things are mutually exclusive?

Anecdotally, I've tried to learn Nix for several years. I learned to write Dockerfiles in hours.

I wish Hashicorp will seriously maim many of the other devops solutions. Their stuff has grew on me slowly, but I'm appreciating the hell out of their focused tools. Smells like Unix spirit.

Docker is not required in any way with Consul Connect.

Who's we here? The documents seem to imply that you have 50%, Daniel has 50%. Are you referring to yourself in plural?

>Prefer AMD for your GPU (Vega is the best today), it will save you a lot pain (i.e. avoid Nvidia and especially Optimus).

This meme should die already. Nvidia has supported Linux better than any other vendor for 10+ years, and still does. For quite a long time, it was the only way to play 3D stuff.

Not just fixes, but also features. They do this in order to maintain ABI compatibility. Besides, parent was talking about Fedora, which has recent kernels.

The newer kernel features aren't typically as important as stability for production workloads.

>how powerful Android's notifications

Yeah, a thing that keeps taking my attention? I prefer that to be as weak as possible.

>I can't understand why anyone would think they are better than Android.

I have used Android exclusively since some early Sony-Ericsson phones, and moved to iPhone just recently. I cannot put my finger exactly on why I prefer these notifications, but I think it has something to do with how easy it is to ignore them on iOS.

On Android, they're constantly on my face until I manually go through them. On iOS, they pop by once and exactly once and if I ignore them, they kinda vanish to the background immediately.

>PLEASE FIX IOS NOTIFICATIONS.. THEY'RE A JOKE COMPARED TO ANDROID

What? They way more usable than Android's mess.

All these alternatives seem to use Github as the main code repository. That's a really bad smell. Why don't they host their codebase in their own service?

Gitlab's main codebase is in Gitlab, though.

>This would be great if GNOME actually had sane defaults. Unfortunately GNOME is full of terrible defaults that it makes you jump through hoops (gconf, tweak tool, extensions) to change.

This is pretty much why I use Mac OS now instead of something like Gnome. They're clearly trying to get there, though.

The condescension is a bit pointless. Gnome (like Apple) tries to make good default choices with minimum configurability. KDE, apparently, makes the wrong default choices but allows maximum configurability.

I usually prefer the former, because I think configuring software is a total waste of time. An obvious sweet spot would be good defaults and minimum configuration clutter, but with an escape hatch to all configuration options. Gnome kinda allows that too (through gconf et al), but with associated risks.

Yeah, same here. Having read the books, I was pretty frustrated at some points at how much some things were simplified for the TV viewers.

It's still the best recent scifi series on Netflix, though.

>not that MUDs are particularly popular these days

There's no good reason for that though. Shameless plug: http://icesus.org (we need players :-/)

Did someone decipher what happens to albums bought in Google Music?

It seems all the time a better and better idea that I went to Apple Music.

Yep. And video and screen sharing. It's pretty good.

The chrome support is still a bit lacking, so Linux users are second class citizens for now. But it's improving steadily.

Yes, it is. They're trying to replace it with Teams, though, which is way better.

>macOS is much more coherent ecosystem when it comes to native.

Then again if you try to run a gtk3 app like Fractal mentioned above on Mac OS, you will see that it looks exactly like a Gnome application.
