Aiming for a 10 year life-cycle for smartphones
<p>After two years of using my company-issued MacBook for personal things, I'm setting up a personal laptop for personal things, which I hope to be able to do more of during lockdown.</p> <p>Now faced with the choice of distro, I noticed I've never been very deliberate with this. My personal history:</p> <ul> <li>2004-5: Knoppix. Needed a live CD because my family (who were co-users of the home computer) wouldn't let me remove Windows. With 20GB HDD, I couldn't keep both</li> <li>2006-8: Slackware. I had enough time on my hands to do manual package management</li> <li>2009-13: Arch. I didn't want things abstracted away from me because I wanted to learn how Linux worked (but <code>pacman</code> is a time saver)</li> <li>2013-4: Ubuntu (mandatory at company-issued laptop)</li> <li>2015-8: Fedora (<code>dnf</code> seemed like a good package manager, and I wanted things abstracted away from me)</li> </ul> <p>I'm curious what other crustaceans use and care about. How relevant are these things these days, now that so much of the software we run is on the browser anyway?</p>
Yesterday, at approximately 5:05pm, a Seattle area man installed Arch Linux on his home computer and has yet to tell anyone.
<p>I put this together as a quick two-evening hack: calculating how reproducible NixOS's minimal ISO is. Out of 1,244 build steps, 1,225 are bit-for-bit reproducible (98.473%)!</p>

KDE is on the news because of a controversial proposal to define an official “AI” (LLM) policy (archived link). Other projects have tried their hand at similar policies and stances but, in my opinion, they miss the…

<p>Shell From Scratch</p> <p>We build a shell in the style of the Bourne shell, Bash, zsh, etc. It supports (1) running commands with arbitrarily many arguments, (2) quoting those arguments, and (3) combining the commands into arbitrarily long pipelines where the output of one command becomes the input of the next. This requires writing a parser, which we do with Parslet, a PEG parser library.</p> <p>This screen cast is free until midnight Pacific on 2017-09-08. After that, it will require a subscription.</p>
