Ah, yes the memories. I followed it pretty closely, happily forgot most of it. I’m somehow reminded of Groklaw.

Voyager 2 is one of the coolest achievements of all time. Are there any efforts under way for anything similar with modern tech?

I have used it as a daily driver. My biggest issue was the nix language. If I was to go back, I would invest more time in learning nix.

RIP. A legend.

How so? More essential than the Earth?

Why? I would rather have preservation on earth, than on the moon.

Hope this catches on. Love it.

We probably should be training the students to use the AI as a tool

I used NixOS for a couple of years. My experience is like this:

1. It is a rolling release (mostly)
2. You write a declarative configuration for your system, e.g., my config will say I want Neovim with certain plugins, and I can also include my Neovim configuration
3. It is stable, and when it breaks it is easy to go back
4. Packages are mostly bleeding edge
