There's one pitfall (that I totally fell into when setting up my own Nix system) that I think people will end up in if they follow these steps: what does `<nixpkgs>` refer to? What version of nixpkgs and how is it updated?
It's important, because that's what nix-shell and the imo terrible nix-env use. (Apart from standard concerns about old state, if you use either of the two for programs that need to link libGL, you'd better it be the sameish version as the one your system was built with.)
What will happen is that nixpkgs will refer to a nix-profile-managed version (and different users might have their own, including root having their own).
I don't know what's a good solution here that's not a hack of some sort and doesn't require people to keep track of this other pointer to a version of nixpkgs. My hacky way of dealing with that is to ensure that `<nixpkgs>` points at a dump of nixpkgs used to build the system. Sadly that gets hacky as soon as you have overlays or other customizations of nixpkgs in your system configuration.
A similar issue is the meaning of nixpkgs in flake repository (used by `nix shell` and the like), but that will probably only become important as people adopt flake-based tools more.

@dunkelstern kein Problem, nimm dein Zeit: ich werde zurück zuhause nur am Ende der Woche sein und bis dann wird nichts unternehmen können.
@niconiconi is it a barrier where "enter" and "wait for all to enter" are separate calls?
@dunkelstern hast du vielleicht Fotos von diese Vorrichtungen für Platinen? Ich habe nichts besseres als eine Klemme an einem dritten Hand, so bin ich interessiert für andere Möglichkeiten.
@kravietz do you know what rate of change of power of will support (or e.g. if it's going to have gray control rods)?
@dunkelstern wofür nutzt du diese Metallleisten, die quer eingebaut sind?
@kravietz the article talks about per-blade power supplies, which I think eliminates the possibility that it's about head turning
Even if you can't turn the head, you can always turn each blade individually into the wind (though this might be out of the range of is normal motion).
To be fair, it needs electricity but doesn't need grid power. (Though I'd still expect the whole setup to be backdriveable and actively held so that wind would turn it to neutral on power loss.)
@davidaugust obviously former, because occlusion from the forehead
@freemo @jenny_wu Taken very literally, "X should be murdered" is not a threat: it's simply a statement about a world you'd prefer to live in. Obviously that approach makes no sense, because then well-understood codes speech becomes a way to skirt around any laws prohibiting threats.
If one tries to include various coded threats, then the statement itself is not enough to detemine whether it's a threat: the whole point of coded speech is to make it easy to read for intended recipients and hard to convincingly convey to others, so it relies on lots of context.
MORPHOTROPHIC, a new novel in 2024.
In a world where the cells that make up our bodies are not committed to any one organism, Marla is confronted by the fickleness of her cytes, and resolves to understand them with help from a centuries-old Flourisher. Swappers like Ruth embrace fluidity, and meet with others to exchange cytes, seeking the perfect mix. But Ruth faces her own crisis, and as the technology to manipulate cytes advances, all three are drawn into a struggle to shape the future of life.
Coming in March 2024.

Nice image :)
Something kept nagging me in this picture, until I realized that the reflected aircraft would be oriented somewhere between perpendicular and head-on to the pilot's aircraft, which would be very rare and would involve a very high closing speed so I was weirded out by lack of blur.
@sarah_ist_muede @Martin__Hope
Ah, ich habe die zwei verwechselt. Danke fürs Korrektur.
@koakuma so you know which thread dies?
I enjoy things around information theory (and data compression), complexity theory (and cryptography), read hard scifi, currently work on weird ML (we'll see how it goes), am somewhat literal minded and have approximate knowledge of random things. I like when statements have truth values, and when things can be described simply (which is not exactly the same as shortly) and yet have interesting properties.
I live in the largest city of Switzerland (and yet have cow and sheep pastures and a swimmable lake within a few hundred meters of my place :)). I speak Polish, English, German, and can understand simple Swiss German and French.
If in doubt, please err on the side of being direct with me. I very much appreciate when people tell me that I'm being inaccurate. I think that satisfying people's curiosity is the most important thing I could be doing (and usually enjoy doing it). I am normally terse in my writing and would appreciate requests to verbosify.
I appreciate it if my grammar or style is corrected (in any of the languages I use here).
