This wonderful
article by
Marius Bakke (thanks for using
Haunt btw!) about guix shell hit the orange website front page recently. I left a comment
to the effect of “hell yeah I use it for all my projects!” and someone
asked me for an example of what I do. I sent them some links but I
thought hey, this could be a blog post and I haven't written one of
those in years!
Bringing RISC-V support to the bootstrappable TinyCC Mes forked. Some problems and a look into the future.
Common workflows when using the Guix package manager
Discussing what changes need to be done to make GCC compilable form a simpler C compiler, TinyCC.
Our attention was recently caught by a nice slide deck on the methods and tools for reproducible research in R. Among those, the talk mentions Guix, stating that it is “for professional, sensitive applications that require ultimate reproducibility”, which is “probably a bit overkill for Reproducible Research”. While we were flattered to see Guix suggested as a good tool for reproducibility, the very notion that there’s a kind of “reproducibility” that is “ultimate” and, essentially, impractical, is something that left us wondering: What kind of reproducibility do scientists need, if not the “ultimate” kind? Is “reproducibility” practical at all, or is it more of a horizon?
Description of the changes applied from a minimal compiler that runs and generates assembly to something that is actually able to compile, interacting with binutils and having a working libgcc.
On a new-to-me ThinkPad T440p, I’ve had the worst time with the TrackPoint.
We are thrilled to announce the release of GNU Mes 0.24, representing 222 commits over one year by four people.
