I hope that the European Commission’s recent call for evidence regarding the benefits of opensource will lead to sustainable funding for such important projects. If I’m not mistaken, even non-EU citizens may voice their support for opensource in the initiative. We should demand a system that compensates opensource developers somehow.

Nix / NixOS•Stop Guessing: Debug Your Nix Code Fast | Nix REPL - VimjoyerEnglish
3·9 days agoThat could’ve used an example of debugging recursion to show how useful the repl is. I knew about the repl and have used it to find duplicate packages for example, but what it doesn’t help with is finding out how stuff was added to environment.systemPackages and, most importantly, why.

Also, nearly any executable can be decompiled to assembly. If you understand assembly, it has a plethora of uses. COBOL can make big bank, but it currently has very limited use.
I’d much rather write in assembly than COBOL
Haven’t heard or read about it since it was kicked out of the kernel! Does it still exist?
Ho boy. Don’t ruin the good ol’ memory of the dude. Some things should be left untouched, just like the movies you watched as a child.

You can try winboat but it’s quite heavy. Basically runs windows in a container and passes access through to it. Apps can be installed in it and have seamless integration with your desktop.
