Oh, no, I just don't understand what you mean by it.

I don't track that last bit

In the most mainstream, I think that both Ari Aster and Jordan Peele are challenging the ruts the genre has gotten itself in to. Midsommar effected me for days.

A while back, I ran across Hagazussa. Its a difficult watch (content warning for extreme sexual violence and infanticide), but it also has that quality of reality unbound. Its slow, atmospheric, and terrible.

The entire exeption, and the broader exclusionary rule, is based around the self-evidently incorrect assumption that what happens in court will effect behaviour of investigators.

I get it. When he did it, it seemed to me like some kind of egotistical, avant garde stunt. Later I learned that it was a protest against capital explotation, and I changed my view.

I generally use 'USican', pronounced yoo-ess-ican. Every seemseto understand me.

Edit: this may be the most controversial thing i've said on lemmy.

Prince didn't wantto change his name. The name his mother named him was Prince, but his label trademarked the musical act "Prince" and forbid him from performing or recording under that name. When he changed labels in 2000, he was able to use his name again.

Yeah! Its a package manager, with its own repos. It needs its own becauseof all those guarentees above. Its designed to be installed on any linux distro, and also has windows, mac, and docker versions.

If you want it to be all nix all the time, thereis also a distro NixOS thats uses nix from front to back.

And, in a confusing failure of naming, the language you use to configure nix is also called nix, just to be cool.

Ok, heres my run down:

Nix is a package manager with the goal of making it so that when you install a package at a version, you always get the same thing.

But isn't that how all package managers work? Not at all. Most software requires other software to work (dependancies). Those dependencies also have dependencies, and so on. If a version of the dependency changes between installs, your package works differently. So Nix forces the package to specify what version of the dependency to use.

But version numbers are pretty wishy-washy, so nix actually requires git commits. This is good, since it turns out, the compiler and libraries used to build the software are dependencies, too. Building with a different compiler can change the way the package works. So Nix forces the package to specify how to build it also.

So Nix is a package manager where each version of a package is built against a known compiler, and comes bundled with a known set of dependencies.

This allows some cool things, like generations. Change your list of installed packages (or configuratian, it handles that too), nix can save the old config and instantly go back to it. No more bricked linux install (if it can get past the bootloader). Also lets you do os-level per-directory installs. Have two projects that each need a different version of c compiler or postgres? Nix makes that easy. Want to make sure all dev machines in your project have the same python version? Just check in the config.

No bike friendly city, and very few advocates for them, are suggesting to ban motor vehicles entirely. Rather, we can structure infrastrucrue to serve both, instead of just cars.

A 4 lane stroad can be turned into a two lane, limited access road with protected, separated bike lane and a median. This actually improves auto throughput, travel times, and emissions.

A 2 lane residential street can have restricted parking, narrower right of way, and wide rsidewalks. This naturally slows cars, making shared right of way safer for all.

A pedestrian zone can have moveable bollards, so that deliveries and mobility services can still access, whil keeping the street safe for people.

In all these cases, its not about bulldozing buildings, its about changing the way we use existing land.

Thats true. And then America stopped. And then the people who had actual on-the-ground experiance died of old age. Its really another effect of the slow tragedy that is the auto industry

Thats quite true, but also political blockage prevents the projects from starting. With California high speed rail, the project is going. And we have found that, in addition to political stumbling blocks, California simply lacks access to the knowledge to build this, and must build that up. Its not 'instead of politics', its 'in addition to'.
