The number of projects on GitHub that are created and have a {flake,default,shell}.nix within the first 24h of life.
ALT New projects using Nix on GitHub, per day, with flakes growing significantly over the last year and "the old way" stagnant.

Super exciting news about Smith, Meyers, @cs_kaplan, Goodman-Strauss's discovery of an "einstein"—a single shape that tiles the plane aperiodically! I decided to create a 3D-printable version of it. You can find it here: thingiverse.com/thing:592330…

We're currently in the process of gathering as much community input about Nix flakes as we can. Usability issues? Principled objections? Praise?
Feel free to respond to this tweet or DM me if you have thoughts, no matter how pristinely formulated or off the cuff.

I just checked some Skittles™ and m&m's® and found several with homoglyphs:
ⅿ U+217F SMALL ROMAN NUMERAL ONE THOUSAND
𑜀 U+11700 AHOM LETTER KA
ѕ U+0455 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER DZE
ꮪ U+ABAA CHEROKEE SMALL LETTER DU
ALT Closeup of Skittles, which are colorful round candies with the letter "S" on them.
ALT Closeup of m&ms, which are colorful round candies with the letter "M" on them.
Quite a journey. Flame graphs, C code, mailing patches. Nice speedup. Gave me the warm and fuzzies.

Kaleidocycles are fun and fairly easy to make paper toys. I've never been comfortable with the way the sides attach, so recently spent some time working on a net that I like better. Here's what 's a photo of what it looks like, and next tweet is a link to+

I can think of plenty of examples where engineering groups didn't focus sufficiently on tooling, but are there examples where engineers focused TOO MUCH on tooling? That is, where they ended up with an incredible tool, but forgot to build the underlying artifact?
