You can browse available Nix packages here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs ...and search here if you're looking for something in particular: https://github.com/Nix

Nix groups all of your installed packages in one environment. When you install a new package, it creates a new environment with the new package added to it. This alone may sound insignificant, but it enables having multiple nix environments

Ah, this explanation is the most cogent to me. So does the Elm runtime and/or compiler manage this as an event or callback under the hood?

I haven't dabbled in Elm much, but subscriptions look a lot like ordinary JS event handlers: Time.every second Tick vs. Time.on('everySecond', tick) Beyond baking an event emitter into the Time module and ha

Much like the sort algorithm that downloads and evals Stack Overflow answers until the list is sorted, someone should make a build tool that Googles any error output, installs possible patches, and restarts the build. It could even see if a

Indeed. After looking in the right places I was able to get the 300-page shop manual for my motorcycle. Everything is very well diagramed and OEM parts are readily available online for not much money.

Maybe your application isn't that complex, and it's more succinctly modeled as as an object or two with mutable state. (E.g. a media player.) Maybe your application is simpler to model as a mutable assembly of little pieces, where

Apologies for being completely off-topic, but reading this comment gave me a flashback to whenever it was when I started reading Hacker News. Try to imagine that you know nothing about version control or cryptography and then read the above

Are you running cool/good defaults for NixOS? I'd be very interested in the specifics.

Nix the package manager is for getting deep control and hard guarantees about your dependencies. NixOS uses Nix, but also gives you ways to 1) specify your system's configuration declaratively from the beginning* and 2) reliably get th

Sometimes this helper function will do everything that I would want jQuery for: var _$ = function(selector){ var els = document.querySelectorAll(selector); return Array.prototype.slice.call(els); } For example: _$(&#x27

You make a good point about bisecting. (Although I guess if you're too overzealous with rebasing you'll arrive at the commit you're looking for and it will be huge. Balance in everything yadda yadda yadda.)

No, leftpad has four test cases and they are all obvious, given the leftpad API. Would I write tests for my own leftpad implementation if I were not farming it out to a dependency? Its possible. More likely I would want to understand the in

I count 561. If you want the number of unique trips that visit each island once, thats 34!, or 2.95e38. If you want the number of edges in a complete undirected graph, that's (34*(34-1))/2, or 561. Maybe when you account for curre

Not working software per se, but I think there's a lot of beauty in the way Sandi Metz demos a refactoring of a thing called The Gilded Rose in this video: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8bZh5LMaSmE

I believe most (all?) states now have implied consent laws, under the rationale that driving is a privilege not a right. So declining a field sobriety test may in fact lead to the same penalties as failing one. (Maybe worth a shot though?)

But within NSM scholarship, overloading is probably more descriptive than words that happen to sound the same but have well-known distinct meanings. In blurb form: "This book is based on two ideas: first, that any language--English no

Cool. There's a similar project put forth by linguists in the early 70s called Natural Semantic Metalanguage, with about 70 "primes" that all other words can be factored out as, like you would have to do if you wrote a dictio
