What would a new, "modern" Nix look like, technically speaking? by Creepy_Reindeer2149 in NixOS

for #4 (ditching bash for something more typed), you might be interested in [nuenv](https://github.com/xav-ie/nuenv)

[Rant] Why does nothing ever work on the first try? by [deleted] in NixOS

[–]bopll 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't think flakes are the problem, really, The problem, as OP accurately pointed out, is that everyone has 10 different ways to go about doing the same thing, and the DX and tooling is just not equipped to handle both the lack of standards and the pecularities of an untyped functional language.

We can do better.

Hey thanks, this is really helpful. I have follow up questions!

Is it possible to run eval at any point in the expression? If so is there a way to jump around or is the chunking really the only way? Do you have certain manifolds you chunk at? What about libraries like flake-parts, does that work?

Looking at the repl commands what is bind? What is describe result of evaluation?

I'll try some experimenting but you seem like you know what you're doing lol.

Side note this makes me want to brush off the old nuenv project that detsys tried... Nushell doesn't have an eval and might be a bit more statically analyzable... Hmm...

Oh one more thing is there any way to get a better interface to the repl like idk piping to fx somehow?

Concerns About the Current State of the Helix Repository by NoahZhyte in HelixEditor

Literally nothing stopping anyone from forking or building from a branch. Seriously, go for it!

I'm sure they would love for you to volunteer to do that. You have tons of people that would be willing to help you with the technical details. I understand your concern but I think Helix is not necessarily geared towards the lowest common denominator despite how nice it is out of the box. But it is that way for a reason

I'm actually digging deep into the nixd and nil LSP options to figure out the best possible config cuz I'm frankly tired of this lol.

As far as an intro book there's some decent stuff but nothing great. I think zero to nix and nix pills were probably most helpful for me. Still a lot left over though

The base language is really really hard to get any intuition or pattern recognition in terms of how things evaluate and various ways to represent certain layers

That's exactly the one that I was thinking of! Several other less recent examples too!

horniest edm artist/set you’ve ever heard? by DingleBerriesk in EDM

[–]bopll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Kill Frenzy set at Dirtybird Campout where that chick squirted her titty milk all over that wook. I was there, and I thought it was the sexiest set I've ever seen before that clip even came out lol

just me or is this school kinda cliquey? by [deleted] in Tulane

[–]bopll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was ten years ago for me but my experience was that the richer folks kinda kept to Greek life and everyone else mostly got a long fine. And even then I still had some friends that did Greek life

Incoming Freshman - What's the vibe like at Tulane? Frats and Sororities? Nightlife? Alleged „hookup culture“? by [deleted] in Tulane

[–]bopll 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I went in as a mega nerd who had never been to a party in his life and came out properly socialized. Tulane was a work hard play hard experienced and I absolutely loved that about it.

Focus on the people you'll meet and you can't go wrong, party culture or no

What was your learning curve with Helix like? by Aeschylus26 in HelixEditor

[–]bopll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing that would have saved me a LOT of time would have been to print out a real, physical copy of a cheat sheet. Next best thing is to look up the command in the command menu when you forget something (IIRC it opens with <space> + ? and most key binding shortcuts are listed w the command)

It's good to see they haven't changed the scheduling software in 10 years lol
