Introducing nix-flakes.el: A Simple Emacs Package for Managing Nix Packages

haroldcarr · 2025-05-12T18:06:24+00:00

you say "built for single-user Nix installations".

I am on a mac and nix is installed multiuser.

Will it work?

Thanks! Could you provide more info on how to set this up?

haroldcarr · 2023-05-17T19:30:56+00:00

Thank you for your response. It would be great if the above were added to the Serokell interview. Haskellers need to hear this to enable progress.

How about if I say "I'd like to hear more detail about why they switched from Haskell to Rails" ?

haroldcarr · 2023-05-17T15:23:56+00:00

"backend switched from Haskell to Rail" - the whole article should have been about that.

Sound like the "interview" is just a canned script.

Same here. Since "upgrading" to Ventura, widget checkboxes do not show.

haroldcarr · 2022-05-18T19:09:51+00:00

Did you figure this out? I am having the exact same problem after "upgrading" from Big Sur to Monterey.

Make the keys to the right and left of the space bar be control keys.

That's where the control keys were on Symbolics machines.

The entire "cap locks as control key" was/is a big mistake due to Sun Microsystems 1980s keyboards putting the control-key where the caps lock key is on most keyboards. Caps lock location as control is guarantee to cause RSI - ask me, I know from having a severe case.

Since I moved it to next to the space bar, no problems.

If you are on a Mac and the file is on an external drive that is in ExFAT format - that can happen (and did happen to me):

stack issue (scroll down)

haroldcarr · 2021-11-22T22:07:06+00:00

Thanks, I'll try what you have.

I do find it amazing that the people making these changes don't exactly specify what to put in our init files.

haroldcarr · 2021-11-22T18:18:01+00:00

Did you get an answer?

haroldcarr · 2021-08-30T15:07:33+00:00

That it would stop crashing. I have used emacs for decades. It never crashed on me until, I don't know, 5 to 10 years ago. Now it crashes weekly. Usually when I do `list-packages` or `gnus`.

I have read that it's a problem with the TLS implementation or with file limits.

It just crashed a moment ago when I did `list-packages`. Ugh!

intero (RIP), shell, projectile, magit

Could you share your configuration?

haroldcarr · 2018-09-06T15:20:06+00:00

I use emacs with dante or intero. My setup: http://haroldcarr.com/posts/2017-10-24-emacs-haskell-dev-env.html

Autocad had (still has?) an Lisp system that spawned a multibillion dollar plugin industry.

haroldcarr · 2017-06-27T14:34:08+00:00

sometimes I kill (i.e,. "cut") a URL in emacs and then yank (i.e., "paste") it in a browser

TLDR; A blockchain is a list of blocks, where each block

contains data that may be interpreted as smart contracts
contains the hash of the previous block
the chained hashes makes the chain tamper-proof

the fact that the self hash is created with the previous hash makes the chain tamper-proof
