    It’s mostly the difference between:

    “Wanting to resolve all your discrepancies at once”

    Or,

    “Gradually, as they roll out”

    Stable is less work for sure, but it just means having to do everything at once.

    You just need to remember to update your channel in your flake every six months and then set your options as they rotate.

    Oh lol. You’re not on unstable?

    That explains why you’ve not had any issues lol.

    Changing channels every six months is a dice roll - sometimes fine, other times shit breaks.

    Depends how complex your system is I suppose, but the major releases are always the most work if youre pinning versions.

    NixOS is fucking GOATed lol. I can’t imagine a business managing a fleet which isn’t based on NixOS - what a fucking nightmare lol.

    How long have you been using it for? Because you will certainly run into complications eventually, as options change, packages become depreciated, and others get marked as unsafe.

    I’ve been using NixOS for the past 4 years.

    I started a business with the mission statement to replace local business machines with a windows-like platform, based on NixOS.

    I can say with confidence that the maintenance does not become much less of an issue, but it certainly becomes more transparent.







  • I was pretty good at maths in school, and throughout my adult life there have been times when doing mental math has been helpful.

    I must’ve saved quite a few minutes, perhaps even an hour total.

    But it has never been that important, that using the calculator I always have in my pocket would’ve somehow changed anything in the moment.

    In all, it actually doesn’t feel like that helpful of a skill, though your milage will vary depending on your job.

    In saying that, LLM’s aren’t going anywhere, and the panic around peoples stupification is probably a mask for ignorance or indifference which would exist regardless.
