It's in the spirit of hn to attack the person rather than the specific proposal?
2. babymetal claims to be a bookseller and, if true, they offered a specialist's insight into the quality of the information disseminated by a person being discussed at HN. (Though, their observation was off topic -- like most comments in most HN discussions.)
3. You want HN users, who are mostly code monkeys, to criticize a proposal to address viral diseases?
Can you provide examples of important work you perform with mobile devices that cause you to prioritize them so heavily? I don't use my phone for any important work, so for me, as a Linux user, choosing macOS as one's primary OS because of its integration with iOS is like someone choosing Windows as their primary OS because they have an Xbox with Game Pass.
For example, you can see where the xz sources get pulled from in the src section here:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-25.05/pkgs/tools...
As usual, wherever you get your software, if someone at the source sneaks in something malicious and no one notices it it gets in there. NixOs has no special mitigations against that (AFAIK).
But you can be reasonably sure that the binary you have matches the official source of the software, with maybe some reviewed patches to get it to work in Nix's environment.
The binaries are cached, so you don't have to build everything yourself. There is a command to rebuild the software from source yourself. Most packages are reproducible, about 95% of the distributed gnome version: https://reproducible.nixos.org/nixos-iso-gnome-r13y/
In order for people to review Nix package definitions and patches, do they need to have their keys signed by other Nix contributors they meet in person like Debian contributors do?
Yeah, it's interesting how all those pet-eating Haitian immigrants they were race-baiting about suddenly became vegans or something the moment Trump was elected.
I have a personal knowledge base that currently includes almost 7,000 files in which I store my notes. I take notes on everything. Every technology. Every project. Every meeting. Every product I evaluate. EVERYTHING.
My notes are stored in Org files that I edit with Emacs and Org mode[1]. Org files are written using a feature-rich lightweight markup language[2] that is much more powerful than Markdown (which is used by other note-taking tools like Obsidian). For example, Org supports plain text spreadsheets[3], a feature I love.
People tend to disqualify Org and say, "I don't use Emacs," while assuming that Emacs users choose Org because we already use Emacs. But I started using Emacs specifically for Org, not programming.
Regardless of which tool you end up using, consider organizing your note files using hierarchical tagging. I started using hierarchical tagging for my notes right after Wikipedia launched and I saw how effectively hierarchical tagging was being used there. Each Wikipedia article can belong to multiple categories, and each category can belong to multiple categories. This is hierarchical tagging, and it's worked great for my notes. At the bottom of every one of my Org files, there is a list named "Parent topics", and each parent file has its own "Parent topics" list (excluding the "main topics" files, which have no parents).
States would need to increase taxes to fund more research, which would cause some of the wealthiest residents to flee to low-tax states. This would result in the pro-research states losing tax revenue and eventually cutting their research funding. The decline in research funding would result in the U.S. experiencing brain drain similar to what has been experienced in red states[1] for decades.
Some of us don't want the U.S. to experience brain drain that will cause our country to become more like the rural states that suffer from the loss of their best and brightest.
