Vi uma #dica (acho que foi aqui no "Mastoverso" sobre um tal de `csvlens` para paginação/exibição de arquivos delimitados por vírgula ou outro caractere utilizando modo texto/terminal, mas quando fui montar um alias no bash para um shell do #Nix, percebi que poderia usar o `pspg` também. Apesar de o `pspg` ter sigo pensado para utilização com o #PostgreSQL, ele funciona bem para arquivos CSV e similares, inclusive, detectando delimitadores comuns no Brasil, como o ";".
Aproveitando que falei sobre o #Nix no último toot, vou comentar sobre o meu caso de utilização absolutamente banal: coloquei o #Nix no #openSUSE Leap porque precisei testar o ferramental de uma certa #blockchain para um cliente da empresa. Acabou que eu nem precisei do tal ferramental para resolver o problema, mas achei o Nix interessante. Como o Leap é uma distribuição estável, evito a necessidade de abarrotar o sistema com #Flatpak e experimento novidades ou obscuridades com `nix-shell -p`.
Video of the interview with #guix founder @civodul is available. A great chat about the #nix deployment model, his interested in #guile and #free software. Lots of interesting chat about motivation in #freesoftware, #gnu and #linux - as well as the Plan9-ification of Guix!!
In a single day, sourced only from fedi, 268 people have committed to migrating to a fork. 184 as users and 84 as contributors maintaining packages. This is a very good starting point for a #NixPkgs fork (which includes #NixOS).
The biggest blocker remaining is #Nix itself. Securing maintainers for Nix (the cpp project) would mean a newly established fork can exist independently. If you would be able to do so, please get in touch.
Last, I must express my deep disappointment and disbelief at the accusation of excluding people from minority or marginalized backgrounds. As someone who highly values diversity and inclusion, this accusation is not only unfounded but also insulting.
I don’t care if you’re insulted the discourse is full of right wingers and you’re not doing shit about it literally cry all you want you’re not doing anything I don’t care.
A lot of the problems in the #Nix/#NixOS community are fundamental, built into its culture, from toxic development culture to the *two* repeated military-industrial sponsorship situations.
The culture of undermining community authority, of acceptability of conflict of interest, of tolerating abusive behaviour, goes up to the very top of the organization, with Eelco Dolstra.
You can read an extensive summary of the issues and sign an open letter to the Foundation here:
oh yeah the secret project I've been working on for two months, @lix_project, is finally in public preview. there's a fair number of rough edges in the website and infra remaining to fix but the software is rock solid.
thanks so much to the dozens of people who have been running `main` daily for several weeks and reporting the few remaining issues. at this point i would say it's just a stabler, faster, more user friendly #Nix 2.18.
Btw, probably well-known by those closely involved in Nix et al, there's also #TVIX by The Virus Lounge, a #Rust reimplementation of the #Nix language. And a project that got funding from #NLnet@NGIZero
Getting really sick of painstakingly migrating to some Cool New Technical Thing With Superpowers and then whoops, It's All Ethics Violations after a while.
First #Kagi - CEO is a white dude who can't read the room when a bunch of users raise serious concerns re: suicide warnings, .ru indexes, Brave collab, etc.
Now #Nix / #NixOS - BDFL is a white dude who can't read the room when a bunch of users raise serious concerns re: toxic members, shitty governance, MIC sponsorship, etc.
Come along if you want to review some patches, or if you want to hack - or if you just want to hangout with some other #guile, #guix, #linux, #lisp and #nix adjacent people!
@SReyCoyrehourcq@khinsen It's true that the #Python ecosystem moves quickly and one can not rely on an analysis to still work *exactly the same* in a couple of months when executed with the then-latest versions. But that's not just the case for Python! Relying on backwards-compatibility of any software stack is not enough and a very poor choice in the first place. As suggested in the README, using something like :guix: #guix or :nixos: #nix or at least containers is necessary.
The #nushell talk at #NixCon reminded me of this again, but my list of ongoing side projects is a little too big at the moment 😅. Still, if anyone is working on it please let me know!
