Hi all,

I came across a paper that might be of interest to the Guix community.

The paper is titled "Reproducible Containers”: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3373376.3378519, featured by Meta in their post: https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2022/11/22/hermit-deterministic-linux-testing/

I was thinking about this in terms of how to have timestamp reproducibility inside Guix build containers which has been a problem in the past for building from source, their approach in 5.3 is interesting (but perhaps a bit invasive).

There are also discussions of:
1. Reproducible randomness (haha)
2. Reproducible scheduler
3. etc.

Cheers,
Carl Dong
