As a NixOS user, what are some things I would like about Guix? The webpage mostly covers features already present in NixOS, so I’m curious how they diverge.

1·7 months agoThere were a couple times it helped me figure out something I was struggling with if I remember. Either that or I mixed it up with something else entirely. I think it was either when I was learning to use Quickshell to make widgets, or it was something with NixOS. For Nix it wouldn’t surprise me since the documentation lives in ten different places.
The more I used it, the more I realized that it actually wasn’t that good. Realizing that it was AI made my experience make more sense. Since there’s an element of randomness to AI output, once in a while it actually does a decent job just by chance. The more you use it, the more you realize that the average is much worse than those few lucky times. I guess I got lucky with the first couple pages I read.

12·7 months agoThis is how I felt discovering that DeepWiki is AI generated. I just thought some group was just working towards improving the state of more niche software documentation.
Refresh until you get guitar cat.
I had to rely on NickwithaC’s helpful comment.

Start at the black food truck and go toward the orange seating. It’s on the back of a guy’s T-shirt who’s sitting at the table one down from the couple who are bending down, one with his hand still on his beer.
(I haven’t linked a comment before, so I hope I did this right.)
Luckily you get more queens as you fail.
I only needed five to win. 😓
I feel so accomplished…

Heat pumps and air conditioners both work off of the refrigeration cycle. A heat pump is essentially an air conditioner that has a reversing valve to allow the refrigerant to flow the opposite way.
It’s indeed not neutral. It always takes work to move heat from a cold area to a hotter area, so there’s always energy (and therefore heat) being added every cycle. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump_and_refrigeration_cycle
I fail to see this as a problem. More pasta is always welcome.
Space Station 14? The fact you specified 14 instead of 13 gives me hope that it’s making good progress.
It got renamed? That seems pretty crazy, but it might be for the better considering the original name didn’t really suggest it was a serious independent project.
Yeah, that’s why they want change.





Thanks for the breakdown. Those are some good arguments in favor of it I hadn’t heard. Nix lang can leave some things to be desired, especially in the error handling/debugging department.
