* Battery life is a lie, especially since it drains almost as much battery closed as it does open.

...

Overall, I think I am probably going to switch back to a macbook after this, not being able to go a day without charging and your laptop always being on low battery is a bit anxiety inducing.

> Trump didn't even get half the popular vote. That's not a mandate.

I think you confuse USA with some other country. Read about electoral votes.

- Spends so much time talking about Zig that even their keyboard autocorrects 'big' to 'zig' - Has probably spent more time configuring Nix than actually using the software installed with it - Could write a PhD thesis on build systems but still can't build a consistent sleep schedule

:D

> More generally, RAII is a feature that exists in tension with the approach of operating on items in batches, which is an essential technique when writing performance-oriented software.

> And it doesn’t end here: operating in batches by using memory arenas, for example, is also a way to reduce memory ownership complexity, since you are turning orchestration of N lifetimes into 1.

> In this video Casey Muratori describes how going from thinking about individual allocations to thinking in batches is a natural form of progression for a programmer.

> Extremely popular talk on the advantages of looking at problems as data transformation pipelines, where Mike Acton shows how common approaches in C++ (RAII being one of them) are antithetical to the goal of creating performant code.

Also drawbacks for me when using nix:

- I needed to greatly increase boot partiton, because nix stores there linux kernels. Whith dual-booting Windows, I created 2GB partiton at the end of disk. Thankfulluly Windows reused it.

- vscode was having strange laggines on nix.

- nix language is quite strange but also imo taught poorly. This was my attempt to demistify it https://github.com/rofrol/nix-for-javascript-developers.

btw. nice remark about nix beeing declarative but beneath is Linux not-declarative. It is like functional programming, but you still have some internal state of components that can clash with your functional top-down approach.
