De-warped the fisheye lens and aimed the camera at starship:

@HSVSphere Goturk insane

[Arian van Putten @ProgrammerDude]

@meekaale Sorry that I missed it!

[Arian van Putten @ProgrammerDude]

@cafkafk I have this with offices

[Arian van Putten @ProgrammerDude]

@yuwtnbe I was there in real life

[Arian van Putten @ProgrammerDude]

@piq9117 We don’t need numbers where we’re going

[Arian van Putten @ProgrammerDude]

Thanks so much for taking me with you on your boat. It was amazing 🔥🔥

Liftoff of Starship Flight 14 from Starbase, TX.

The first orbital launch attempt for the program.

Seen from 4 miles (6.4 km) away.

[Arian van Putten @ProgrammerDude]

@theodorvaryag We’re building several millions of lines of code with buck2 and we heavily make use of dynamic actions

[Arian van Putten @ProgrammerDude]

We need to get relocatable binaries working and then we can just mix and match.

An actual quote I am getting from Discord this week.

From an actual experienced engineer on the ground managing a codebase with Nix.

[Arian van Putten @ProgrammerDude]

@theodorvaryag Neither does bazel no? At least buck2 has dynamic action graph which get you very far

[Arian van Putten @ProgrammerDude]

@theodorvaryag Read what I wrote please. I said Bazel should steal features from nix. Not the other way around. We’re agreeing

[Arian van Putten @ProgrammerDude]

@theodorvaryag Bazel and Buck both suck at shipping artifacts IMO. Whilst with nix and reference scanning it is solved. They need to steal these goodies from nix and then we’re all set

@ProgrammerDude @domenkozar @kerckhove_ts @nixcon_org We actually have instructions from DEF CON that this is never how any of the communities can work. It turns it into pay to play like RSA.

[Arian van Putten @ProgrammerDude]

Let’s just hope I don’t end up being the asshole obscuring everyone’s view 😭

[Arian van Putten @ProgrammerDude]

@jdxcode @domenkozar @kerckhove_ts @nixcon_org He didn’t sponsor and didn’t submit a sponsored talk.

[Arian van Putten @ProgrammerDude]

@domenkozar @kerckhove_ts @nixcon_org And yeh the fact that someone got all their abstracts accepted is a problem too. I will admit to that. It’s the part where I definitely agree with you

[Arian van Putten @ProgrammerDude]

@domenkozar @kerckhove_ts @nixcon_org Yep. That’s how talk selection works. Of course there’s human biases involved but if that bias is “this person sponsored a lot” that is a big no no in my book. I don’t understand that you don’t understand. Anyhow we haven’t seen the abstract you sent in so I can’t judge.

[Arian van Putten @ProgrammerDude]

@domenkozar @kerckhove_ts @nixcon_org With*

[Arian van Putten @ProgrammerDude]

@domenkozar @kerckhove_ts @nixcon_org None of that should matter. Wtf dude.

Talks should be reviewed on their merit. Ideally only reviewed on their abstract. And without the author blinded out.
