uv2nix is great from my experience https://github.com/pyproject-nix/uv2nix

Thanks! Is there a simple example of how to use it? I have found their docs with those gigantic code examples impenetrable.

Is there a particular reason you chose to target ninja over other formats?

It made sense internally and we also thought it'll be compelling for people interested in Nix since Nix itself uses meson and outputs ninja.

What other formats do you think are worth targeting?

Not particularly, I was just curious thanks!

This is just a fork of nixpkgs and nix no?

This looks to be a fork of NixCpp only. There is also https://aux.computer that appears to be (the beginning of) a fork of nixpkgs.

Ah right

Yes, paid quite a lot of money to flip coins lol. There is a pretty big section about his time there in Michael Lewis's new book "Going Infinite".

That was the part of the book I found most interesting (although the whole book is a good and interesting read)

Titanfall 2 is also fantastic and still has a fairly active community!

The campaign has that one level everyone who's played it knows. One of the most creative levels in a modern game.

The multiplayer was so good the first 2-3 years after the game released. Then they started nerfing it a bunch and then some issue began with people DDOS'ing their servers.

Indeed, fantastic level! I was surprised I enjoyed the campaign as much as I did. FPS campaigns are usually a bit arse.

Did they fix the servers yet? For a long while there it was nearly impossible to finish a multiplayer match, the servers were getting slammed with some kind of attack and rendered it basically unplayable. I would love to get back to some Frontier Defense...

The community took matters into their own hands: https://northstar.tf

I still replay the campaign every so often, it's still very good, is not too long and very enjoyable, I'd love a PS5 update but I doubt that's coming.

Yeah, each package/lib is stored in a unified directory by it's hash https://zero-to-nix.com/concepts/nix-store. Different variation different hash.

I think OLEDs might have a refresh rate issue. The nice thing about LEDs is that you can drive them at a very high refresh rate.

Don’t oled displays support pretty high refresh rates? And also have way lower GtG latency?

with this kind of spinning display you'd need to multiply the frame rate you want by the angular resolution you want. So if you're happy with only 20 different angular views and only a 20fps refresh rate of the 3d display then that's 400fps required of the flat display

Oof. I think that might tax the typical driver ASICS that are used on those.

Gave it a go and was actually very impressed. Gave it a Nix question that I asked ChatGPT 3.5 last week (which ChatGPT had got completely wrong). It got it right first go and included all the sources that I had used to come to same conclusion, so that was cool!

I don't think this is true, I think it only requires the host system to have nix installed.
