Originally posted by Meikai This is not ideal, but in the same way "anarchocapitalism isn't anarchy because hierarchies still exist, corporations maaaaan"… I really don't see how a world with scientists we must trust, and science we must Believe™, is anarchy - whether it's anarchocommunist or whatever. It's as nonsensical as "anarchotheocracy".
For everyone except anprims, it's "'No Gods, No Masters (except the degreeholders with that title, and the PhDs above them)!' shall be our rallying cry!"
I mean I’m uncle ted’s biggest fan and all but this doesn’t seem like a great argument for anarchoprimativism. Like sure academia has a hierarchy to it, but it’s not respected once you take two steps of campus. Researchers are pretty close to the bottom of our social totem pole.
The whole “trust the science” meme is 100% a political construction. No one does or actually expects or wants anyone else to trust scientists as a class, it’s just politically expedient pretext to exercise power that has nothing to do with scientific research. -

Originally posted by Meikai I hate anprims but aside from murdering all the people with expertise I'm not sure how we can prevent expertise from creating hierarchies. There is no true anarchy besides anarcho-primitivism.
Here here. I want the world to be just like my dick. Nasty, brutish, and short. -

“The chief point of agreement among all of the experts — and I must emphasize this — is that there is a pressing need for additional, high-quality clinical research,” said the board of medicine’s chair, Dr. David A. Diamond, a radiation oncologist.
Lol. So like I get the conservative position here, and this really isn't the crux of it, but it makes me laugh. "Further research is required..." is such a canned phrase in literally all academic writing, especially medicine, and what it actually means is "give me more money to continue research". If a researcher publishes on cigarettes causing cancer or the sky being blue the paper's going to end with "further research is required". If researchers wanting more funding is a reason to ban a medical intervention we better shutter the hospitals because experts probably agree further research is required on if it's a good idea to stop massive bleeding or not. -
2023-09-08 at 2:50 PM UTC in OK Kafka, you winOk everyone, you know I take privacy seriously on this forum. I have a warrant canary, I've publicly discussed and refused information requests from what seemed to be from LE before, and I've tried to stand up to Kafka's campaign to get me to reveal info about Sophie's PMs. But this time she's come up with a threat so serious, the gravity of which is so crushing, that I have no choice but to cave and reveal Sophie's PM history.
This morning Kafka threatened me and lala that if I didn't disclose the info she asked for, she would start sending me nudes... the nudeclear option. Unwilling to believe anyone would take such drastic action against me I held firm and stuck to my guns. But at ten past nine CT this morning she did the unthinkable and sent me her nudes. I'm still shaking, and lala is in the other room weeping inconsolably over the fact that I saw another woman's boobies. Kafka, you've destroyed my relationship. You've destroyed me. Even our dog is emotionally traumatized by "your" nudes being private messaged to me. As such I'm left with no choice but to acquiesce and reveal Sophie's last PM, which was actually sent to me, shortly before he stopped posting on the forum:
Originally posted by Sophie Ayy, that bitch cray cray and her pussy be nasty as fuq. Ima dip, I don't get paid enough fo dat shiz
So there you have it Kafka, I've done what you asked. Just please stop torturing me and my family.
P.S. if you want to keep sending pictures of dead babies though, that's cool. That shit was hawt. -

wtf
Whelp, I'm pretty sure I just ended up on a new watchlist. That hasn't happened for a while. -
2023-09-07 at 1:15 PM UTC in Sophie's P.ISeems pretty likely that soph wanted to get Kafka to send the noods but then she got super clingy and stalker-y and so he bounced.

Originally posted by aldra doesn't that mean you have a different set of dependent packages for every application though? sounds like a different kind of nightmare, kind of what slack did
That's a possibility, e.g. if one application needs glib version X and another needs glib version Y then they can be built like that. In practice there's a content addressed cache that's shared and most packages declare deps in the form of "give me the system default", so most things work through dynamic linking and end up the same versions so you don't have 80 copies of whatever, openssl or something, in memory at once. But you have the option of pinning something specific for special snowflake packages without fucking with everything else in the system. It works smoothly because everything up to the kernel works like this, so if some really picky package needs its very specific set of dependencies it can do so without anything else ending up linking against those due to the build isolation.
Which is also nice for "oh fuck" situations in deployment where you can hang on to your old build and all its deps on the FS, so if the new build doesn't work you still have working binaries for the old one. The bootloader also has a nice rollback function for "I fucked up my display drivers and I'm booting to a black screen" type situations. -
2023-09-04 at 4:50 PM UTC in NixOSI realize most you degenerates can't into loonix, BUT for the intrepid soul willing to brave the infinite cascade of config files and arcane incantation in search of that sweet sweet rice, nixos is pretty dank.
The sorta headline feature is environment and build isolation and declarative dependency management. You can think of it like virtual envs/npm/cargo/whatever modern language-specific package manager but expanded to encompass all the software on a system. For me the paradigm case is using something like lxml or pillow where you need to either have some binaries sitting on your system in just the right place, or have the stars align to have the right gcc version and whatever the hell else to be able to build from source. Language-specific package managers just kinda shrug, the standard practice is to prominently put a note in your README with a laundry list of what needs to be installed, and maybe apt/pacman/snap/rpm snippets if you're really nice, which just sucks. Nix provides a way to declare a deps on system level packages, and transitively a way to build those packages, so no more praying someone reads your install instructions and having to update that regularly.
Some cool knockon effects from that are that complex applications can be distributed in a better manner than a lengthy runbook on a website somewhere. Great example of this was plex where you can have a fully functional server by slapping `services.plex.enable = true;` into a config file and it's done, you'll have a DB, systemd services, language runtimes, and firewall config all set up. Mind you that's kind of the ideal case, if you ever need to actually author a package the learning curve is kinda steep, not aided by the haskell flavored config language. Once you get used to it, it makes a lot of sense, but the docs are perpetually incomplete and there's a lot of idiom to wrap your head around. On the up side, if it works for you it works for everyone, and despite nixpkgs being a sprawling mess the broken package phenomenon is actually quite rare as a result of the build isolation.
I've been using it as my daily driver for a couple months, and switched off of Debian for it for NIS recently, and I don't think I'll be going back. -

You didn’t get under my skin, your missing a simple joke so badly that you had to restate its premise and call Bradley an idiot while doing so made me laugh.
Thank you speedy, your constant embodiment of dunning kruger is deeply amusing. I appreciate your unintentionally making the forum a funnier place -
