I hate how the article title is not answered in the article.

roydivision · 8 months ago

More and more article titles follow this click bait pattern. The article itself is fine, interesting, albeit a bit short. But I totally agree, and it irks me too, that the implied promise of the title is not honored.

> apt-get install <package name>=<version>

That's still not reproducible unless you use snapshot.debian.org or snapshot.ubuntu.com as upstream package index.

You can easily host and manage your own package repository. My point is that this apparent limitation is not in itself a strong enough reason to embark on NIX.

Go fill your boots if you want to use NIX, power to you, but be honest about why if you're going to write a piece about it.

Is there a limit to what you can upload? I figure they're not just going to let people upload a million pictures, but can I do one per kid?

roydivision · 9 months ago

It seems from my own upload that you are limited to one / email address. So yes you could just use a bunch of aliases, but I guess they're banking on most people only having access to a few addresses.

> More importantly, Docker containers themselves aren’t reproducible—running apt-get update or pip install requests at different times can yield different results, even with the same Dockerfile.

apt-get install <package name>=<version>

Oh grow up, ffs.

The article specifically states that this light is NOT visible to humans:

> UPE, also known as biophoton emission, is a spontaneous release of extremely low-intensity light that is invisible to the human eye and falls within the spectral range of 200–1,000 nm.

I think it's more about getting used to f-F,t-T,A,I, and <semicolon> which can be quicker especially with code. You can also add easymotion or similar plugins for the powered version of those.

Paul Fischer's book, 'A Kim Jong-Il Production' is well worth a read, not only for the story of these kidnappings, but of life in North Korea and its history.

I choose browser plugins instead for a more consistent experience, at home or anywhere.

I switched about two months ago, paid for a year. It's such a relief, it's like having search of ten years ago back again. It just works, and no useless crap. Options that make sense to ME, not to the profit line.

I'm now paying for:

- Search

- Email

- News

- Backups

Of course I'd rather not spend the money, but ALL these services are leagues ahead of the ad-supported alternatives. This is how the Internet should work.
