Re:Lisp's Influence on Ruby on Sunday June 14, 2026 @01:14PM (#48529822)
Which Lisp, out of interest?
Can't upvote this enough.

There's always a response that his work is "anti-establishment", despite it often giving support of the establishment's viewpoints (read: liberal).

The hypocrisy seems lost on his fans/proponents.

Just imagine thinking this piece is somehow anti-establishment / thorn in the side of power, yet it was erected in one of the most surveilled areas in London and he's somehow got away with it?

Give me a break.

Re:Why I love NixOS on Sunday March 22, 2026 @02:56PM (#47480824)
NixOS is great. Nix the language is just awful. I still use it for my Dev laptop and for Home Manager on all my devices.
Thank you! I built it because I needed it. Current Data Lake catalogues are terrible with representing Iceberg tables, so I just built something for that purpose.

I am not happy with the Catalogue UX right now so I'll iterate on that a bit more.

I'll be hopefully implementing realtime monitoring of snapshots and other table aspects too.

Please let me know if you find issues or have suggestions (raise a Github Issue)!
