We use NixOS for all of our robots and servers at https://www.monumental.co, hard to imagine how we would do constant updates of our robot fleet without it.

If you're working on cloud systems it's easy enough to just throw away VMs all the time but you can't really do that with physical hardware that's on a construction site for months on end, where you only have a shared 5G connection. NixOS makes this all manageable!

The alternative firmwares give you a lot more options in this, stock is OK in layout

Insane, we have to come up with contingency plans now for long-duration GitHub outages because we can't safely do deployments. For a service we're paying thousands of $ per year for even though we host runners ourselves...

iDeal is an enormous success in the Netherlands so if banks implement it as well in other countries then it will definitely be competitive with credit cards for online payments

No, open-source maintainers don't owe you anything if you don't pay for it

I highly recommend anyone to look at jq's VM implementation some time, it's kind of mind-blowing how it works under the hood: https://github.com/jqlang/jq/blob/master/src/execute.c

It does some kind of stack forking which is what allows its funky syntax

Hopefully some actual competition against GSuite (or whatever it's called these days)

Sure, but getting this far would be inconceivable just half a year ago. It will only get better as time passes

big L for all the cloud providers that made the mistake of using it instead of forging their own path, they're kind of screwed now

option 2 is what this blog is about, the example code creates a socket using that method

Could you how a decimal point in the distance measuring tool? I want to measure distances in my backyard from the satellite photo and the rounded number makes it hard to be accurate

Can’t really say what’s going on here without seeing some code.
