Is there a good guide on how to replace homebrew with nix? I've been curious for a while but always end up with 30 tabs open and giving up.

I've had this open in a browser window, glancing at it and listening to the radio for a few moments throughout the day, and now I'm feeling nostalgic for the road trips I took when I was younger, before the total control of smartphones. The serendipitous and unexpected places along the way are often more interesting than the destination. Thanks for building this!

It's a classic but I do enjoy having a look at it every few years.

Ellen Ullman's "Programming the Post-Human" from the October 2002 issue of Harper's sheds some really interesting light on AI research, how the brain functions & what it means to be a human. Definitely worth a read if you're interested in the subject & available for free on Harper's site:
