@thommahoney I’ll try it please

[Matt Whiteley @mwhiteley]

I’m often asked for introductory links on Nix and this is my new response, great work!

[Determinate Systems @DeterminateSys]

We’re thrilled to announce Zero to Nix, a new learning resource for Nix 👍! It's built to be beginner friendly 🧑‍🔬 and to generate those shining "a-ha!" moments that make technology stick ✅.

@ryanthesouza Lol. I was over here jealous that you and @tiaz went on a sailing adventure or something.

[Matt Whiteley @mwhiteley]

@lucperkins The most awkward thing currently I feel is “nix build ‘.?submodules=1#PNAME’”. I want that as an attribute in the flake or a command line flag. Happy to chat!

[Matt Whiteley @mwhiteley]

@lucperkins Many of our flakes have “eachDefaultSystem” wrapping “packages” and then // “nixosModules” Not complex but definitely cumbersome. Would be amazing to simplify that or adopt some flake utils as defaults.

[Matt Whiteley @mwhiteley]

@grhmc Definitely, I’ll send an email and let’s figure out a time to catch up.

[Matt Whiteley @mwhiteley]

@grhmc Can we adapt it for GCE? I’ve been hacking on the current modules to support UEFI/Arm instances over there.

[Matt Whiteley @mwhiteley]

@thommahoney Whoa and it was a good day!

[Matt Whiteley @mwhiteley]

@skeptomai Hope you’re feeling much improved soon!

[Matt Whiteley @mwhiteley]

@deflatermouse Looks like about 25 deps but I don’t see some of those really suspicious looking ones. It might be from the auto update behavior? You can set `HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1` before the install command to prevent it. We could have a zoom next week and I can show you my macOS Nix env.

@shanselman @fooberichu @Ubiquiti It’s really wild to me that the UDM Pro can only do failover on the dual WAN yet the much older and cheaper USG supports load balancing

[Matt Whiteley @mwhiteley]

@TashaDrew @andrew_randall Forget the Outlook bugs for a second, I’m upset that you have 17 recurring 1:1s! Maybe we as an industry need to have a meeting about fixing that situation … and the Outlook team would actually have the time, energy, and clarity to fix the bugs.

@bradfitz Fwiw I just replaced my standing desk with one with a horizontal stabilizer bar between the legs and the monitor shake is dramatically diminished both on a stand or an arm

@austinspires The once a day game pretty well limits the time suck!

[Matt Whiteley @mwhiteley]

@ryanthesouza @ev_rowe I look this up once a month or so and https://t.co/6AR3hN5Pn1 seems to be the most recent info still. Constant disappointment from Salem.

[Matt Whiteley @mwhiteley]

@mskaciej @randommood She’s fantastic and so deserves it and I’m sure she’s going to give you a hard time but totally worth it. I can’t imagine working through the last year without her!

[Matt Whiteley @mwhiteley]

@rachelmyers And then you sit down and they say good job!
