We're aiming to take Nix to its most simple form, while devbox uses json for configuration.
Think of devenv as systemd of developer environments.
Don't a lot of people hate systemd?
The factory is the product.
It's clearly not.

That's a neat idea!

That's exactly what these changes do, but they don't become the default because a lot of people only store text in got so they don't want the downsides of these changes
What changes? The partial clone stuff doesn't help me given that I generally want the large files to be checked out. And how does the large object provider stuff work if you're not using a git forge.

Hypothetically, if you designed something that resembled the UK and tried to have humans live in it, that would not be ethical.
Yankee go away

Most of the time spent is content consumption (viewing html documents), rather interaction (which is only 2 simple actions).
I suppose that's valid. Feels fairly arbitrary though

Gmail takes 3s to load. And HN is a website, not an app.
How is HN not an app? All the content is user generated. Everything is interactive. What's the difference?

Python as a language is nice. Python's version and package management is nothing short of a nightmare.
Using a nix devshell has worked out well for scripts for me so far. I haven't figured out what that workflow is like for larger projects though. I'm not interested in learning Uv

Agreed, I re-read the book probably once a year and almost inevitably stop after the first hundred pages or so. The vibes of the future Chiba / Sprawl are what really appeal to me, not so much the VR world or the space station sci-fi stuff.
Chiba feels a little cliche now in some regards but the Sprawl section rules and is probably my favorite but. But the space station is also pretty neat and and I'm a big fan of the matrix/VR stuff AS LONG AS you recognize that it's basically a tech induced-hallucination/drug trip where you enter some shared alternative reality that only has a very tentative relationship with 1s and 0s, NOT some sort of VR headset thing.
