Here is a nix success story from @jossephus

This might be the excitement talking, but NixOs is really Great. Thanks.

- @jossephus

I was configuring my alacritty terminal. I was choosing themes for my terminal from Alacritty Themes. I was using nixified version of the themes using https://github.com/alexghr/alacritty-theme.nix.

The Problem: Alacritty recently (in 0.13.0) switched their configuration lang from Yaml to TOML. but the latest alacritty terminal in nixpkgs is in 0.12.0 which means it still generates yaml files. The alacritty Themes nix package has been updated to alacritty's latest version so it generates toml files. So, everytime I tried to add a theme, alacritty was giving me errors that it can not parse the toml file mnamn.

The Solution: Here comes overriding. As u can see above using Attributes Overriding I was able to change the version of alacritty to 0.13.0 which makes it compatible with alacritty themes.

TLDR, alacritty 0.13.0 wasn't available in nixpkgs, and @jossephus used nix overrides to add it to his config. This just shows the level of extensibility nix offers.

If you wanna cultivate your optimism and you wanna escape the constant doomer nihilism bullshit we are constantly being bombarded with I highly recommend following Hannah Ritchie. She is doing great work with the our world in data project.

one general view I have come to is

cynicism and nihilism aren't rational views that result from a true understanding of the world. they are the misguided interpretation of only seeing half of the picture and an inherent misunderstanding of humanity's want and need for good and our potential of achieving good.

you may not like it but this is what peak dx looks like, you don't have to deploy if you develop on the server

who would have guessed the ai boom would lead to more hardware startups

nearly every network request should use optimistic ui updates, it just looks so snappy

[a remix demo]

In the next 10 years we're going to think of developers who can work without using an LLM, the same way we think of COBOL developers now, because they will be the only ones who can work in some specific high risk domains that prohibit the use of an LLM due to some security or reliability reasons.
