Hey! Cofounder of Devbox here. One aspect I would emphasize about Devbox is that we're focused on providing some of the best properties of Nix (easy to install packages, reproducibility, and ephemeral dev environments) without requirin

We're parsing periodically (though our index is more up to date than Nix Package Versions at the moment). We've also truncated pre-Flakes commits, though we are planning to include those in the future

Thank you! We're planning a longer post that explains the architecture and process of building the index. An extremely basic description of what we do can be found here: https://www.jetpack.io/blog/0-5-0-install-ni

Fuzzy search is definitely on our todo list!

We haven't open sourced it, but we are planning to write a deep dive on how we built the index and how the search service works.

I suppose they could, but for various reasons they haven’t. We originally built this for Devbox users because it was a common request, and realized that it could help Nix users as well.

https://search.nixos.org/packages only shows packages that are available on the latest stable and unstable releases of Nixpkgs. The means they only have a limited number of versions for a given package available. For exampl

Cool bonus feature of Nixhub.io I wanted to share -- Package pages are linkable/bookmarkable! So if you want to view all the versions available for NodeJS, you can visit https://nixhub.io/packages/nodejs You can e

You can use 2 spaces after a newline to format it: let pkgs = import nixpkgs-old { system = "linux-x86_64"; } in pkgs.mkShell { packages = [ pkgs.node ]; } Combine this with the input statement in the commen

A few ways to use it are: 1. Install in your global profile with the CLI: nix profile install nixpkgs/3276b62e6639096014652132f4824ac2b4f2a2c4#nodejs 2. In a flake.nix, you can set an input with the nixpkgs commit hash, like:

Two benefits to Nix that I can think of: 1. It has a wider range of packages available vs asdf. Asdf can support runtimes that have an asdf plugin, whereas Nix has over 80,000 packages available in it's registry 2. Nix also handles the

The comment in the README was tongue-in-cheek, but we've updated to clarify that not all the configuration languages listed are turing-complete.

TySON (TypeScript Object Notation) is a subset of TypeScript, chosen to be useful as an embeddable configuration language that generates JSON. You can think of TySON as JSON + comments + types + basic logic using TypeScript syntax. TySON fi

Thank you for commenting! I didn't get those details in the first read of the report, but looking through now I can see what you mean. It definitely does convey that once things were going wrong, the relationship broke down quickly, an

The issue was that in this case they couldn’t — a lot of the BRT benefits came from creating a center lane, and that center lane was infeasible unless they did the utility project first.

There was a Grand Jury report analyzing the causes of the delay in the Van Ness project. While the unexpected conditions of the underground utilities is cited as the primary cause, it does touch on some project management aspects that you m

Yeah, this is a much better example and reflection of how weakened institutions and process can drive up costs.

Sure, but you have to reinvest that money too. And it's a bit misleading to take just the FastThing cost and disregard the GoodThing costs. For example -- it took 10 days to build a JS prototype, but 10 more years of evolution before i

For the Van Ness Bus Line example: one reason there were major delays was because maps of underground sewer lines and plumbing were inaccurate, and needed to be relocated. The 6 years of construction was really a bus lane + major sewer infr

That sounds like a huge speculation/hypothetical — is there evidence that was or is happening? To answer your question, it would depend on what the account was doing. Scraping abuse could likely be handled in a more targeted manner.

The first source (which you're citing for the volume number) warns against making this sort of volume estimate and inferring differences between men and women hunting, in part because of the small sample size of women hunters and becau

The paper actually makes no claim about the percentage of time that women hunt relative to men. So I’m not sure where you got the data for your last sentence

by jljljl 3y ago
The paper doesn’t make a statement about the frequency or prevalence of women hunting, and it does describe different hunting behaviors and patterns between men and women in the discussion. I think the paper’s goal is not to say women hunte

Pre-Elon the bot count was something like 5% of active users, meaning a broad approach like this will affect significantly more real users than bots. There are probably more fine tuned ways to reduce bots that don’t degrade the experience f
