วีดีโอ

I love your videos! Very glad to see you have the time and motivation to keep making them.

Absolutely love your videos. Can you give me a hint with which software you are creating the videos?

the goat

is there any way to use sops-nix for let's say git email for example? I've been searching for days and I found no other way around except running nixos with a --impure flag

Finally!

this caught me up for a while, accidentally leaving 'pkgs.<item>' on the item... (I liked seeing the word pkgs... lol) # autocomplete DOESNT WORK HERE environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.home-manager pkgs.cowsay ] but switching to environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ home-manager cowsay ] works.....

6:01 references a 'nixpath' step from earlier? when in video is this earlier step?

Which nix version is required for this operator to be available?

The feature that I miss the most is adequate errors. I’m not only talking about these atrocious stack traces, the errors are just not pleasant to work with, mostly because of functional nature of nix

This video actually explains pipes the best I have ever seen. Now I act

is there an easy way to concat functions? like the haskell . operator?

wow, when I searched this in 2023 I thought they would never be added

Make your bets, what's gonna be stabilized first: pipes or flakes?

mmh love a good pipe operator. Would be nice to see a placeholder syntax as well though. This is why in R I kept using magrittr package's pipe until we got a native placeholder. Can't pipe to a positional argument easily without it. This was simple with magrittr pipe `%>%` and `.` placeholder: `f <- \(x,y){ x / y }; x %>% f(1, .)`. Not as simple with native pipe `|>` when there was no placeholder, now it's `_`.

Scale-like underscore placeholder parameters next please

amazing video, thank you. What do you use as presentation tool? (very nice), a lot of good work

I am writing a python library in rust that will allow users to write system configs in python and it will compile into a nix file. The library is almost fully compatible with nix. I am also thinking of making lua, ruby and bash binding of the library(not yet done). I am also trying to make a lightweight "nix cli" written in rust which will make nix commands and evals much faster. It is like deno for nix. These projects are still alpha and i soon plan to release these under mit license. Please make suggestions of the features you want. I chose python as a language because i think it is the most approachable language to new users. Thanks @vimjoyer and @librephoenix for luring me into the rabbithole of nix.

Bro plz make a video on how to contribute to nixpkgs

F# mentioned 🎉

04:35 Pun intended? : ^ )

I was tired and read the title as "make your coke better with pepsi"

If only we could have statically typed nix

love this channel, please keep going!

Honestly I think making Nix more readable is a critical thing to get right in order to foster more adoption. While the functional declarative simplicity is great for logical clarity it requires some up front learning to understand. I think this piping is a good example of how the functionality can remain the same but we add some syntax sugar to make it look more like declarative config and less like spaghetti code. I'm for logical simplicity though.

Wait… is this a monad?

This is HUGE The pipe operator is so good ❄️🙌

Inspired by Gleam?

Sadly, the NixOS community has been hijacked by deranged woke individuals... 🏳️‍⚧️

Just like threading (first and last) in Clojure, which I use a lot. Great addition!

Yesssss

I use Rust. I like very, very long and definitely unreadable pipelines. Literally, sometimes I can write a 20-lines-long function without any semicolons! Iterator chains are very cool, as well as the fact that ifs and matches can return values. When writing in other languages I often feel pain because of not having such well-built iterators and the other things I talked about. By the way, why do your videos never get recommended to me? Literally, all other creators I watch and am subscribed to pop up on my homepage as soon as they upload a new video, but you? You never pop up in my recommendations, ever. Thank God I am in your Discord server so I can at least know when new videos get released and then go into my Subscriptions tab to find it right at the top of the feed. Do any other people have this issue? Oh, and do you by any chance upload on any other service than TH-cam? Maybe PeerTube or Odysee? If not, then please consider that! Whoa this comment is getting very long with every single edit I make. But I'd like to just quickly add a few video suggestions. Can you revisit Nixvim please? I use it for my own Neovim config and think it's highly superior to Lua configuration (except for the fact that, unlike lazy.nvim, it doesn't lazy-load packages). Or at least just make a general neovim configuration video? The other suggestion is packaging things and making develolment shells. I've been struggling A LOT to make flakes for my projects with packages, devshells and some other goodies like treefmt-nix and pre-commit-hooks.nix. I'd like to see a video (or series) about "How to use Nix with a {insert programming language here} project.". My biggest issues were with Rust (using crane), but I think I kind of figured it out... But it doesn't work as well as I'd like it to. Another suggestion js maybe talking about CI/CD? Also, have you maybe seen the project nixos-unified? I use it in my nixos/home-manager/nixvim flake and it works well... Up until it doesn't. But it has some cool goodies that make writing your flake a lot easier. If you'd like to see all the things I talked about above in action in my config, then see GGORG0/nix-config on GitHub. And here comes another suggestion - best practices to structure your nixos/home-manager config. Because mine isn't structured well and I know that... That's it. I'm not writing any more. Yes I am. Just adding that this video DOESN'T EVEN APPEAR in my watch history. I mean, like on mobile you have the "You" tab which shows your watch history. It's non-existent there. But if I click on show more, then it is in the list. TH-cam what the f??? Oh wow, I didn't know that editing a comment would remove the heart from it. Oh well...

I'd like to learn to self-host web applications using Nix and/or NixOS

i like the more subtle background :) the one before was a bit distracting for me

Awesome video! I can't lie I was missing pipes a bit from other functional languages, awesome they're coming to Nix. I can't lie, I was doing that let expression variable nonsense a bit for some of my more complex Nix modules.

Crazy boy and Crazy pipes

Vimjoyer knows how to handle that heavy pipe!

Thanks for the video!

Noice!

Too little metal pipe sound effects

New Video, Let's goooo. Edit: I want and need this feature.

YOU! SAVE MY DAY!!!

How to run Riot Vanguard on NixOS?😅

man... i wish i did it on a fresh install of nix. i get the home-manager error which needs me to remove the original files inthe directories for the switch to be done successfully.

What are the difference between the home.nix file and flake.nix file we created in the /etc/nixos/ directory, and the home.nix and flake.nix file that got created in the home/user/.config/home-manager/ directory? Which ones should we be using?

BetterDiscord ?

Hi, what about when you already have a nix configuration existed and want to try the dev env? Do you add the mkShell package inside the modules?
