You need to write the hash in the package, so it requires the exact commit

So what nix does is it hashes the inputs, so git still works even immutably if the hash matches

In NixOS there’s a bot that automatically bumps versions

You can manually install it

Why are we expecting Apple to be innovative in particular? None of the big companies are doing that

it will just be not as fast as the newer stuff

Yes, it wasn’t a success, but at least they are trying. What’s the last Google innovation?

Again, users actually use it

They did an attempt at VR, just because it didn’t sell doesn’t mean they didn’t make technically the most capable VR set

AMD is rumored to move to Samsung for its GPUs. Samsung basically caught up to TSMC and it’s offering good deals on its advanced nodes.

Tim Apple is an MBA. Is the company struggling?

Who said they are not efficient? They just serve buildings of users. I would be surprised if they didn’t figure out how to do it more efficiently than Bing PER REQUEST. They have PhDs sitting around thinking how to lower power consumption by 1%

Those corporations are serving users, they wouldn’t need all that power if billions weren’t using their services

I play games on Linux

Sure, but the spec is not in line with what the silicon can take, leading to degradation and stability issues

I tried to A/B test 256 kbps AAC and it’s actually really hard

I saw someone do it on video and he’s constantly replaying the same 0.1 seconds of a song. It’s not obvious at every point, only some cymbal hit or similar

Because they are pushing their chips even harder. AMD literally pegs them at the maximum temperature these days. It’s basically factory overclocking for both companies. Of course it’s going to run into issues, voltage + temperature fries chips

I see, I was holding it wrong

Not an issue on NixOS, you can ship old deps with it

Nix: you package it yourself and do a pull request

Sadly, many flatpaks don’t even work on NixOS properly because of assumptions about the file structure or similar
