Because i hope the underlying discussion about programming languages will push Haskell in the direction I’m advocating for.

I haven't been using bluesky much these days but I realized this platform would probably enjoy roasting us for this the most, so re-posting here: avi.press/posts/2026-0...

My usage of AI has changed dramatically over the past month, so it was fun to document a snapshot of my current setup. avi.press/posts/2026-0...

scarf-js is now at 4M weekly downloads on npm and growing quickly. This is your periodic reminder that telemetry in OSS when done properly is Good, actually.

If you're at OpenSearchCon today, I'm giving a talk at 11:25, uncovering lessons from billions (and now, trillions) of open source downloads. Hope to see you there, it will be fun!

Claude 3.7 for most things. I do see a lot of people saying grok 3 is very good for coding but I haven’t tried it myself. Also unsure how that integrates with all the tools

Hashicorp did a controversial relicense of some of its OSS. Redhat never did anything like that. Both had great sales to IBM.

I did a double-take on this Haskell Foundation update. Looks like there is another one besides @haskell.org ! This HF also looks like it is doing Good work.

This is a remarkable milestone for us. 10 billion events across OSS documentation views, downloads and telemetry. *0* records of PII are stored, preserving user-privacy even from Scarf itself. Better usage visibility for OSS maintainers -> more sustainable OSS for everyone!

We've fixed the permissions but now we have cert issues downloading anything. setting SSL_CERT variables doesn't seem to work. Have removed homebrew openssl links, no dice.

`nix profiles list` is working again!

Avi Press @avi.press · 27/12/2024

Ok, I didn't have a profile for my user in /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user. Created them manually

Avi Press @avi.press · 27/12/2024

Hmm definitely some permissions issues still

Avi Press @avi.press · 27/12/2024

Indeed, things are still messed up. Trying to install something, eg devenv doesn't work yet.

Avi Press @avi.press · 27/12/2024

Ok, we're making progress! nix binary can be invoked! Now let's see if we can actually use it though...

Iterm2. probably not the fastest alternative but I definitely prefer native desktop apps where possible.

Avi Press @avi.press · 27/12/2024

Ok I'm just wiping everything, profiles, /nix, and all. Can't fully delete my /nix/.Trashes folder because SIP is on, but hopefully that won't cause issues

With the holiday slowness, I finally have time to fix my borked nix setup! Ever since I upgraded to Sequoia, it's been completely broken. Let's see what happens. So far, both the main installer and determinate nix installer are failing.

MoonBit looks neat, native WASM targeting as well as a comprehensive toolchain as a first-class part of the language seems like a very strong value proposition. www.moonbitlang.com

I have yet to upgrade macOS versions without nix becoming absolutely broken. From what I can tell, claims that it's getting better on Mac are exaggerated.
