Hey, in the '60s we wrote floating point in assembler, (after having written
the assembler
for the custom system :) and were happy to get division timed under a
millisecond ;-) Time flies :)

HTH trigger some ideas :)
Here comes the final delimiter, guix style, not real mime terminal delim,
recognized by having skipped paired "--8<(something ..." delims as well as
plain.

See above, but takeaway is think about the hacker work environment
so that docs work well with unix-philosophy helper tools that can
be shared simply without waiting for some big update.

I noticed that too, but it's Efraim's typo,
f gordian-knot dependency bloat -- which IMO
in turn is a kind of RYF threat: it's effectively a free-time pay-wall.
So, since memory is cheap and processors are fast, anything that "does the job"
gets incorporated into our hacks, and trustworthiness dies of obesity ;-/

libraries and placing them in the vendor directory where the
necessary parts could be compiled we ended at the same place
we were headed anyway; only the sources were propagated from
package build to package build, only the source was the
relevant part, only the source is shared.

ame thing, except for local convenience
abbreviations?)
I see the de-duping gc does when it converts to hard links, and wonder there
too.
What am I missing?
RFE:
(request for enlightenment :)
Exactly how are the /gnu/store prefixes computed? What _exactly_ is/are the
input(s) that get hashed??

which could run sandboxed guile expressions safely?
If designed for the future, maybe such a daemon's interface could anticipate
replacing the daemon and talking to a hypervisor dom0 as in Qubes-OS?

Oops. still using /usr/bin/... there ;-)
And I see easy improvements, but my point is it would have been less shareable
as an emacs-only macro.
Where guix is factorable into separately useful components, I think the same
idea applies.
The unix way of small things :)

which started out fast, but got really slow -- though it did finally crawl
across
the finish line, and cooled off.
I guess it would show up in dmesg or journalctl -xe but I didn't look, sorry.

o, and just store the fact of their existence in inode
metadata?
If that's right, then it would seem that it would be possible to access both
the full physical size and alternatively just the sum on non-zero blocks' sizes.
One would think that someone has taken advantage of this to let losetup
