It's like this with a lot of things now. For example, Nix's learning curve used to be a huge barrier to entry. Now with LLMs, I'm using nix-darwin and home-manager for dotfiles, package management, and have individual flakes in all of my projects for cryptographically reproducible builds!
replyNit: there’s nothing “cryptographic” about reproducible builds.
reply“Reproducible build” already usually implies bit-by-bit reproducibility.
I meant with Nix you're comparing hashes. With Docker, you're using pinned versions
replyi thought it mainly implied architectural/hardware compatibility and deterministic output
replyNix is also great at work. You keep the server nix code in the same repo and OpenCode can just change and test server config.
replyLearning to make simple parts in onshape is pretty darn easy (and fun).
replyYeah. I teach this after school to 7th grade kids. Anyone can pick this up in a few hours.
replyThey taught us to make Legobricks with CAD when I was in 6th. Wish I retained more of that and that it would be more widely taught.
replyI am reasonably confident that access to solid modeling and additive fabrication is now more widespread than ever.
