Another OCaml connoisseur (at least semi-forced, as it looks like a university exercise).

Is there a place where I can see a list of features set to release with 10.9?

Pretty much, yes. Although most of the guides install nix via curl. You can find the recommended installation procedure on the official nix website.

What I’m right now also realizing is that i switched things up. nix-shell -p curl creates a shell with the curl command temporarily available. If you exit this shell it’s gone. I use this all the time if if i don’t want to pollute my system with programs I only use once. If you want to permanently install something you have to use nix-env -iA nixpkgs.curl. But don’t take my words for granted, since I have never tested this on a non-nixos machine.

Note: You can also see how to install something by clicking on the package title in the nixpkgs repo.

Nixpkgs can be used without knowing anything about nix. You can install almost anything by just running e.g.:

nix-shell -p cowsay

The requirement for that is the nix package manager but that should be easy to install. But yeah getting into Nixos with flakes and all that stuff can be hard.

That’s probably the best Unixporn I’ve seen on Lemmy

If you right click anywhere you can get into a separate context menu from which you can reload/refresh. At least that’s how it works for me

I followed this guide from VimJoyer and it works like a charm. Have been using this approach for quite a while now. It just uses raw nix with homemanager

Well documented code is really helpful though, so if you’d use this code professionally I would’ve even left these comments in. It’s always a pain in the ass trying to “reverse engineer” old code.

But since your’e doing a career change I think you’re on a really good path

The code looks nice. Just as a recommendation: It’s always better to let the code document itself and not with comments. So rather than “# Check if the element is found” you could create a function called something like “check_for_element”.

Wintersday is always so cozy. I love it

It was the case for “made in Germany” which became a sign for high quality later on. I don’t really know about “made in China” though. I myself would rather associate it with lower quality stuff, although that really generalizes chinese products for the worst ones.

Would’ve been cool if the newest expansion was also on sale. But tbh it’s understandable why not.

Looking really clean. Could you post your dotfiles as well?

What I hate so much more are the OpenAI captchas. Especially the goddamn rat ones

The only thing that I kinda didn’t like were the visuals of Grothmar. It looked so aged and oversaturated. The content was cool though

Pretty cool idea. The few lines of code also make it easy to rewrite in case you want to switch to wayland.

Is NVMe really cheaper? I thought SATA was the cheaper one.

A ghost squad. Sounds kinda cool.

Come on. C++ isn’t thaaat bad. It’s actually kind of nice to use coming from C.

And Guild Wars 2 is nowadays also on Steam, making it even easier to get into it. Note for anyone who previously played GW2 before it came to Steam: You can also use the Steam version if you add “-provider Portal” as a launch parameter.
