When I ready the title I misread it as 'sound and _furry_', and was like...oh cool, a furry generator. ^.^

Pity the actual truth is much less fun.

Message from claude:

"The build succeeded, so your packages in dist/ are ready to use! The warning is cosmetic and won't affect package functionality."

Because yes...I should always ignore warnings, they're just cosmetic....sigh. :(

I mean, the vast majority of people that receive gender affirming care (both hormonal as well as surgical procedures) are cis people.

Spacemacs: Emacs advanced Kit focused on Evil Emacs advanced Kit focused on Evil

Eh, for me the pain to my fingers were enough to get me to switch to vim keybindings. (Yay for evil and spacemacs www.spacemacs.org)

At which point, because the development tools I was using required Docker (sadly, not even Podman worked), I had to do a bunch of docker-in-docker shenanigans.

For example, try to install nix on Fedora Silverblue (or Bluefin). The only way I was able to get it to work was either in a Distrobox container or a Docker image.

But it does have a few major downsides, the biggest one of which for me is the painful UI and requirements of where certain files should be.

I do like how nix makes it easier to compose multiple languages together. I, for example, use it as a build option for ClojureScript projects that require both Java and Node to work well. (github.com/LeifAndersen...)

Ya, so far its been that way for me too. But at the same time, I can't help but think: "If the biggest win uv has over poetry is speed, why not improve poetry?" (Note that I've never actually used poetry, only uv, so I may not know what I'm talking about here.)

`pip`, `poetry`, `venv`, `conda`, and `uv`....jesus Python, I thought Javascript had too many package managers.

Oof, always hard, even when its the best thing. Hope all is well. (Or at least as well as can be.)

One of:

Also my friend @warpfork.bsky.social can go on about the problems in nix store values and how it determines if two things are equal.

Probably a controversial thing to say from someone who likes FP, but:

I think NixOS is also kind of bad too. Like its command line UI is bad. Everyone says flakes improve it, but then you have to add extra flags to enable it, and its been 'unstable' for how long now?

loool, ya.

Although to be fair to linux there are much easier ways to do this. I just can't because of corporate policies. :)

What's really hilarious is the software I need to run (on the cloud pc) runs on linux, so I'm using WSL and Docker on that PC. Which means I'm:

1. Using my Linux PC to:
2. RDP into a windows VM running on that PC to:
3. RDP into a windows 365 Cloud PC to:
4. Run WSL to:
5. Run a Docker container.

The problem with the browser (unless edge is different), is that it doesn't capture keybindings. So things like alt-tab, page up, ctr+t, etc. end up going to the host windowing manager and browser.

While your approach is clearly faster at small scales, you have yet to show that this pattern holds for larger scale samples....clearly need more data. :P
