<zacts>lo guix

<mark_weaver>civodul: thanks for taking care of the /usr/bin/file thing!

<mark_weaver>hi zacts!

<zacts>lo mark_weaver

<_`_>what's “lo”? short for hello?

<zacts>indeed

<zacts>lo = hello

<_`_>looks weird

<zacts>it's from #minix on freenode

<zacts>I blame them for the habit

<_`_>oh

<zacts>but you can represent it in binary 10

<zacts>or an abstract lo ,.

<_`_>my friend posts pictures of minix there

<zacts>cool

<zacts>It would be cool to either utilize ideas from minix in other systems, such as the HURD, or to use the minix core OS and microkernel with a gnu userland eventually

<zacts>and to make this work with GUIX somehow

<zacts>but that's probably at least five years from now

<zacts>we would probably have more luck adding a kFreeBSD to guix

<_`_>I still need to read that Tanenbaum book

*zacts does too

*zacts owns the latest edition of the book

<_`_>yeah I'm interested in eventually trying guix on freebsd

<davexunit>5 years, that's some long term thinking. reminds me of some home decor I saw at Target that said something like "shoot for the moon. even if you miss, you'll land among the cold vacuum of space and die." something like that...

<mark_weaver>hehe :)

<zacts>lol

<davexunit>it was next to a framed "live. laugh. lisp." print.

<davexunit>okay, I'll stop.

<mark_weaver>:)

*zacts is learning awk and sed

<zacts>the gnu versions

<civodul>davexunit: 'guix environment' should be significantly faster now

*civodul -> zZz

<davexunit>yeah? :D

*davexunit checks git log

<civodul>yup!
