Emphasis on “likely” from what used to be “more than likely” in ages past for them.

Meh I’m glass half full here. Basic documents backup is great for the everyday person. This kind of thing saved users when I worked at a help desk in college.

Just feeling the mix of GitHub, CI, jj, nix, build systems, etc. on my mind lately. I think there's some great stuff out there, but there's also a lot of room for disruption in these spaces.

It just makes you start whiteboarding... "What would I do differently to make this less painful?"... and then question what percentage of that is hubris vs. touching on real pain points that a re-imagining this layer of the nix ecosystem would solve.

I want to be 100% clear. Everyone and everything are both doing the right things.
The problem I'm facing is the local development story. Getting this script to adhere to best practices while needing to handle the dependency's special cases is nuts.

The update bot picked it up but could not perform the update. No problem. I've seen this happen with newer packages with custom scripts.

For context, I've been trying to make sure buck2 gets automatically updated in nixpkgs. There's a (great!) update script that updates the prelude hash and hashes for all platforms. Neat!

I’m just waiting for someone to come on and build a jj hub at this point. It’s great.

To be clear though, I’m not convinced RFID blockers would have prevented the issue. I think it got copied when inserting the physical card at a gas pump. I moreso use Ridge because it’s small and I like not having stuff on my phone case.

Yes I have actually. Twice in a year. I think it was probably the same spot.
I prefer Apple Wallet to any physical card though since the number used in the transaction is not the real card number.

I think a lot of people do! I use a Ridge wallet and like that as a feature. I use Apple Wallet via my phone for DC metro so I like having them separated.
That being said, I remember in college a lot of people had silicon phone case wallets and tapped their phone on everything.

"Build in public"... here's my draft PR that prompted this:

You need to give build, run, compose, etc. all need the inputs from your graph and not miss a spot. Then you wonder if it's easier to just keep everything in the black hole "Dockerfile" and call it a day rather than doing fancy layering.

And the airport Five Guys is like nowhere near as good as the real one. Just grease and suffering.

Yeah! A great NIGHT. Not 11am before a flight 😭

LOL hey it's almost like we are in the same TZ. But funny timing, for sure.
I've heard great things about those! I almost went for Zilents, but I am not into mechanical keyboards as a hobby, so the good price of the MX2A Silent Reds and known compatibility with my board were worth it.

Instead, I'm looking at what happens if you extend how you think about the smaller domains in terms of crates too... not just modules.
This leans into cargo workspaces even further and increases the number of compilation units to help keep caches validated.

Yeah I bounced off it but it was a good test. Commit mono is hitting well.

Thank you!! Commit Mono was on my list but Lilex looks amazing. Trying later...
