  • I don’t get NixOS

    It’s not for everyone. The idea is to have your entire system reproducible with a few configuration files, which you’d then ideally store in a VCS like git.

    I haven’t messed with it, but there is something appealing about the ability to reboot to an older snapshot of the system if an update breaks something, or being able to use a config file to restore your system to the exact OS version and exact versions of whatever apps you use.









  • Begging people on the internet to buy you things on an Amazon wishlist doesn’t give the impression you’re actually caring for a mom cat & her kittens.

    If you genuinely need help, reach out to your nearest animal shelter or vet. If you’re unable to afford food for them, vets/shelters can help connect you to cat food & other resources to help. They may also be able to help you re-home them.






  • I listened to the first 4 tracks, and skipped around the rest to get an idea of the content. Lots of good stuff!

    • Great job mimicking the tone of Hades’ music. It has a fantastic OST. Korb also wrote Bastion’s OST, which is worth a listen, too.
    • In your soundtrack, I think there needs to be more balance between the “wall of sound” harmonies vs. lyrical melodies. IMO, the best game soundtracks are the ones you come away from humming a theme, and I struggled to find one here.

    I think “Through Asphodel” is a good example - melody kicks in about 2 minutes in. From what I heard (which wasn’t everything, admittedly), you have the background metal sound figured out, but I think you’re missing that soaring melody in some of these.

    Just my two cents!



  • I dug around their site to try and answer your question for myself. Nothing I saw would make me want to switch terminals (I’m content with whatever built-in comes with the OS, usually), but it has some interesting flashy bits:

    • “Warp AI” is ChatGPT baked into the app. Might be handy for certain situations, but it’s online only soooooo why wouldn’t I just use ddg?
    • “Warp Drive” is a way to make / organize / share user scripts. Seems to be focused on team-based sharing.
    • the app separates commands into blocks, which might make scripting faster/easier for some people.

    If I felt lost in the terminal, a lot of these features would be attractive to me.
