Another important milestone reached today for #tvix ! We now have tooling to (quickly, sub-second) start VMs executing binaries (and closures) from a tvix-store running on the host, passed in via virtiofs, without any need to rebuild initrds. tvix.dev #nix #nixos
Looking for an insanely fast static site generator, with dark/light mode, pages, search, and code highlighting that requires no configuration just pure markdown files checkout my project mmdoc: ryantm.github.io/mmdoc/
Got a bunch of demos this week on the evolution of our cloud infra and it’s totally insane. Imagine instantly available, fully reproducible, and infinitely scalable environments. Will eat the software market inside out. Not only pro devtools, but going into academia, gov’t etc.
Introducing the Replit App. We’ve been working on this for over a year inventing new UX paradigms to make coding on mobile manageable, and we think this is the most comprehensive mobile creation tool in the world — will onboard millions to the industry!
Who wants early access to GPU repls on @Replit? Please only reply if you genuinely think you’re going to use it (and can pay for it).
Introducing 🌟flox 🌟, a next-generation environment manager built on Nix. We think Nix is the right way to package, build, and share software moving forward, and we leveraged its superpowers to create flox. more 👇🧵
Living up to his moniker, @linux_hackerman describes how he made NixOS's test framework 10x faster with a patch to QEMU: determinate.systems/posts/qemu-fix
We believe that Riff can provide lasting benefits to the @rustlang community. In this post, we make the case that adding Riff metadata to your project—usually just a few lines in Cargo.toml—can go a long way toward addressing an enduring problem in Rust. determinate.systems/posts/riff-rus…
splits on @Replit are out! now you can completely customize the layout of your projects in the workspace. one of the most deceivingly challenging projects ive worked on with @moudy. read the blog here: blog.replit.com/splits
We're thrilled to announce the initial release of Riff, a Nix-powered CLI tool that automatically provides external dependencies for software projects. Riff supports Rust projects out the gate but we plan to support additional languages in the near future: determinate.systems/posts/introduc…
pensamos que sería gracioso pedirle a DALL·E 2 una imagen para el postmortem de un incidente con nuestro servicio de DNS (llamado DiNoSaur). --- we thought it would be funny to ask DALL·E 2 to generate a cover image for a postmortem doc for an incident with our DNS (DiNoSaur).

Replit is now almost entirely running on @nixos_org. The immediate benefit is a more configurable runtime and the latest and greatest packages available at all times. But it doesn't end there. We have many more features and ideas for the Nixified Future ☀️

Challenge accepted. We've seen Nix make teams happier and more productive. With the right tooling (see @jetify_com, @Replit, and others) Nix can empower developers without the painful learning curve.
I want nix to prove me wrong but there's like 99% chance all the nix based startup will fail. Nix is such an incredibly difficult sell. You either have people touch nix and have to 3x level up their skills or your abstract away nix so much that you could probably do without it

When I worked at @Replit one of the first things I noticed was how frustrating it was when I had to learn Replit “stuff” to get my code working. That’s the challenge with “magic 🪄” - it’s great, right until it doesn’t work with your mental model. 1/4
While another opportunity moved me on a different path from @Replit, it’s very exciting to see that work come to life today from the great engineers I worked with. 🧡 Congrats! @cgbrewster / @szymon_k / @joethomdotcom / @lhchavez / @ryantm blog.replit.com/ports 4/4
some new words on how we made the ports experience better on @Replit: blog.replit.com/ports shout-out to the goats @joethomdotcom @szymon_k @cgbrewster
the @Replit AI chat interface is my favorite product on the internet rn - by a long shot. feels like magic every time.
@JRMurrCodes I don't count it as such a fork - on the contrary, it's community effort to reimagine how Nix could be.
@domenkozar @JRMurrCodes Agreed, tvix pushes against the edge of what Nix does, then surges beyond it quite far. This makes it fertile ground to explore ideas and suggest directions to explore in the upstream.
And just like that Nix took over the #scale21x ... Thanks to everyone who made NixCon NA such and inspiring event.
A surreal experience: Opening a brand new Mac straight from Apple, logging in, and seeing Nix already installed. MDM + the Determinate Nix Installer for macOS is brilliant.
I'll be at NixCon North America this Thursday and Friday. Talk to me about Nix and Replit and Nix on Replit.
When NixOS boots up, the first userspace code that the Linux kernel runs is called "stage 1." At #NixCon NA, Will Fancher will describe the objectives of rewriting stage 1 to utilize systemd during his talk. buff.ly/3P6yEaH
Full-screen @Neovim looks cool as hell on the @FrameworkPuter. I could get used to looking at this!
“This isn’t working as expected, what should I move to?” vs “This isn’t working as expected, what don’t I understand?” One gets more engagement, the other is real engineering
