Determinate Nix 3.3.1 is now out and folks, it is not playing games. We've added JSON logging to Nix and a whole new UX around fixing hash mismatches during Nix builds—and we've fixed some long-standing paper cuts to boot.

Changelog: JSON logging, a new experience around hash mismatches, and more
JSON logging has the potential to unlock all kinds of ergonomic benefits, starting with hash mismatches but with plenty of room to expand beyond that

You know what I haven't seen? Any serious founders or startup leaders posting AI generated, Studio Ghibli-style or action figure themed images of themselves on social media.

Nix turns 22 today! 🎉🎂

Since its first commit in 2003, Nix has grown from an academic idea into the foundation of some of the most powerful software systems.

At DetSys, we’re ensuring its future remains bright—working alongside Nix’s creator, Eelco Dolstra, to push the technology forward. 🚀

I've been using @determinate.systems #nix with nix-darwin for the past 3 months on my work and personal macOS.

It's a declarative way to manage your system. Your whole setup (packages, preferences, services) is in 1 config file and 1 command away from being fully restored.

It’s such a delight #dev
