I have two questions.

1. After the revolution, how to you prevent the people that were influential during the revolution from seizing power for themselves, becoming the new bourgeoisie. This happened time and time again in practice.

2. Even in the best case scenario, the decisions on what to produce become centralized in the hands of politicians. Political systems that we tried so far don’t work that well in practice. Is this really the best solution?

I started exercising, I quite embarrassingly couldn’t do even a single push-up, I can do 20 now.

My Ender 5 has been lying around for 3 years, maybe I’ll dust it off during the weekend :)

None. I’m kind of surprised most people don’t use lemmy the same way as reddit, I assume nobody just browsed /r/all?

The most important thing is that the codebase can grow without too much refactoring. Then you know you got the overarching design right. The rest then doesn’t really matter that much. You can always rewrite certain parts when/if needed.

A good way to do this is by making the core really solid, this is called bottom up programming: https://paulgraham.com/progbot.html

Basically nine man’s morris, it’s pretty fun trying to beat progressively harder AI. Each difficulty requires a different (better) strategy. It’s like unlocking levels in a puzzle game.

I would just pick the value from the root of each underlaying balanced binary tree, easy.

Just buy a new SSD to install Linux on. If you decide to switch back just plug the old one in.

I quite enjoy Nix flakes for this. Only certain languages have good support though (C, Rust, Haskell, OCaml, …).

It’s easier to write that much if you are just making stuff up…

Stand a little out of my sun.

Linux is already better than Windows, the latest versions are a mess, and is likely going to get worse.

A package is reproducible if you use the same inputs, run the build, and get the same outputs.

The issue is that the build can produce different outputs given the same inputs. So you need to modify the build or patch the outputs. This is something that is being worked on by most distributions: https://reproducible-builds.org/who/projects/

NixOS is not special in that regard nor are all NixOS packages reproducible.

Nope, nix doesn’t ensure or require that the builds are deterministic. It’s not any better in that regard than other package managers.

It’s not really fully reproducible either.
