Sandro is right that the language is called Nix and the CLI is called Nix. Though, part of the trouble is that Nix handles multiple things (eg. Dev environments) and is often referred to separately as the Nix Package Manager. Realisticall

> I mean that it's not clear how time is going to fix Nix's documentation. This is my estimate based on the work that has happened over the last two years. There is steady movement in the right direction and the community is or

I love Nix, all of my machines run NixOS, but I think it's 5-10 years out from widespread adoption. Currently the biggest issues have to do with severely lacking documentation, lack of developer tooling (missing things like LSP), very

I recently discovered that Go's time and date utilities use the date "Jan 2 03:04:05pm MST 2006" as template values in order to parse and format dates.

This lines up with my experience and continued frustration with YouTube. I use the service a lot whether it be for background noise, research, and so on. The recommendations have been awful (doubly so in Shorts) regardless of how many vid

I also found the second and third options unnecessarily noisy. Though, I'm not surprised with the obvious syntax warts being proposed considering the disaster that is `globalThis`. I do hope the first choice is the one used as it is th

I've enjoyed the analogy so adding onto it: Google would open up 5 competing, different burger places next to each other and then close them all down a year later, confused that none of them did well enough. All to open a new Taco stan

When I was futzing around two or three months ago with audio on my NixOS system I believe it was still using media-session. Are you on unstable? I believe the intention was to migrate to WirePlumber, but didn't expect that to happen al

One quirk for you: using my samsung keyboard with swipe typing, spaces aren't added between words. Not sure at all what causes it. The only other place I have seen this happen is url input in the browser (which I believe is intentional

Turborepo has been a welcome addition to the JavaScript tooling sphere. Funnily enough, at nearly the same time as the initial version of Turbo became available, I had just about finished building my own monorepo tool for similar reasons (c

I appreciate the change to the navigation, it makes things a whole lot more clear! > Can you explain this _unsettling_ comment further? Do you find the limits too low? Perhaps I could have worded that better. I don't see myself hitt

The "pro" page wasn't immediately obvious to me as well and I spent ~30mins perusing the documentation before finally finding a mention of a license key. I do wish that was more upfront.

I was initially quite impressed with the quality of the output and the feature set available. Well done! In addition, the github actions seem to make this a very quick drop-in solution which is something I need for several projects now (and

I jumped in several months ago and haven't really regretted it. The caveat being that you have to be okay with learning Nix (the language), debugging with only arcane error messages to go off of, and reading a lot of the config source

It seems that the lower price models are going out first if reports by reviewers are to be believed. I managed to reserve the high-end model around minute 5 of release. My order is also lumped into the "After Q2" timeslot. I expec

Distressing to say the least. I'm sure plenty of people would agree that these companies need some amount of oversight, but this seems to be entirely the wrong solution. Enforcing real identities online has a cost. Facebook has alrea

Development doesn't have tk be hard or confusing. A large amount of the complexity that is introduced is wholly unnecessary. Why wouldn't we want to make it easier for people to learn things?
