My time at Lofty is coming to a premature end, and outside of my circumstances. If you're in need of a Senior Software Engineer with Data Engineering Skills in the US Remote CST zone, reach out and let's talk about any potential opportunities for work.

If you have a current colleague of mine that you are interviewing or considering offering, I'd be happy to vet and provide recommendations for all of them. #techjobs #jobs

aires, 2 months ago to NixOS

Question for the smarter #Nix and #NixOS people: is there an easy way to pin a package to a specific version? All I want to do is downgrade hugo from v0.124 to v0.123.8.

Right now I've got like a dozen tabs open with a bunch of convoluted answers involving overrides and custom builds. The most "straightforward" method I've seen so far is using builtins.fetchGit to reference a specific commit, but it's apparently cloning the entire nixpkgs repo, which seems excessive. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I find the etiquette of Calendly (and other appointment booking things) really interesting

I've heard some people are offended by the suggestion that they use that to book a slot rather than doing a back-and-forth to find the right time for both parties

I see it as respectful of my time when someone suggests Calendly rather than having us back-and-forth over several cycles

I'd love to understand this dynamic more

A bit disappointed...

I hate seeing good colleagues leave, and this one really hurt. I just wasnt ready to feel so deflated after building someone up so much.

If you need a very strong backend #django, #graphql, #python and #react #typescript web developer, I know a guy, and we wrote some great, well tested, and typed code

Is there anything resembling a universal hardware interface for like, industrial devices?

I’m thinking: I like the idea of the convenience networked appliances can provide far more than any actual implementation I’ve ever seen. And that’s usually because of the tight coupling between the appliance and its network components. Which means your internet-connected washer or whatever is destined to eventually become e-waste. I really dislike that!

If NixOS folks want to limit the access of some bit of software would they run it in an OCI/docker container or use some other approach?

Super "fun" #Python bug: groupby in itertools ostensibly groups items by the result of a key function, however it just groups similar sequential items in the input list. You can't safely use it directly to build a dictionary. It will silently drop some of your items.

>>> data = ['aa', 'bbb', 'cc']
>>> grouped = {k: list(v) for k, v in groupby(data, key=len)}
>>> print(grouped)
{2: ['cc'], 3: ['bbb']}

After almost 9 years of Rust I've come to the conclusion that it's not just the way we write errors that's bad, it's also that Result guides us towards bad error handling and ? Makes it worse (handle my error? No just chuck it up the stack) I just need to write a post soon huh

I also think thiserror and anyhow are detrimental to good error handling as well and I'm guilty of doing this. The easy way to write error handling is the bad way to write good robust tools and programs

Has anyone worked with #golang, #nix (with or without nix-shell), and #JetBrains GoLand?

My first passes at researching this doesn't show me many promising results. Some vscode discussion suggest launching vscode from the CLI after entering the shell.nix-enabled project directory, but not sure how I feel about that.

Is there a better interface for interacting with the #python breakpoint() debugger in a script rather than use c/n to go line by line?

You should think that adding a local flake.nix with a package to home-manager and install the package is trivial. I'm trying for two hours but still no progress... Sometimes #nix is frustrating.

Welp, kid managed to get a drone stuck about 50ft up in a tree. Thus, further reconfirming my earlier claim (prior to him wasting his money on it) that drones are, in fact, the worst toy in the whole toy universe.

🤔 CSS has always felt closer to Lisp or Haskell than Python or a non-functional language. Just me or has anyone else had these thoughts?

Is there some flake out there that will build a relatively recent NixOS ISO for a Raspberry Pi Zero W?

Is there a way to count the number of queries in tests if you're using django's regular built in testcase?

I'm too used to pytest these days 🤔

nobodyinperson, 4 months ago to vim

Idea: bundling your cli $EDITOR (:vim: #vim :emacs: #emacs whatever) into a one-file static binary (#Apptainer #Appimage whatever) that you can take with you and will work everywhere, with all plugins and configs already set up. Alternatively as a :nixos: #nix #flake of course, though that's not so easily portable to systems where you don't have root access and the admins don't want to install #Nix
