 @timdeh:matrix.org | like the users.users.<some-user> options, some-user is considered a submodule. | 16:11:48 |
 d4hines | Ok, so the value I give to home-manager is intelligently merged with the defaults (and any other modules I load as well), and if there are conflicts it fails to switch. | 16:13:45 |
 @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | Dam thats a lot of PR's | 16:44:43 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | well it depends, sometimes defaults are overwritten | 16:44:51 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | like string defaults, for example | 16:44:57 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | In fact, is there any case where a default is not overwritten? | 16:45:06 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | If you mean the options you don't touch, then yes, they will remain their default value, but for anything you touch, I believe it's default is overwritten with whatever you supply. | 16:45:44 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | d4hines: ^^ | 16:58:53 |
| d4hines | Cool. I’ve been writing out the full path for each attribute. I think I should be able to make my config more compact by using attribute sets. The glorious thing is that if I’m wrong I just git reset and reload! | 17:09:16 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | BTW, welcome back Gytis Ivaskevicius. I was worried you may have run into an unfortunate affair with a bus or something 😛 | 17:21:35 |
| @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | no, it was worse - deadlines | 17:23:12 |
| @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | 😂 | 17:23:14 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | At some point, we need to start reformulating rfc 96 for acceptance, and possibly begin patching the nix build chain to accept experimental flags at compile time (though maybe that's after it's officially accepted) | 17:27:05 |

Ok, so the value I give to home-manager is intelligently merged with the defaults (and any other modules I load as well), and if there are conflicts it fails to switch. In the context of the 'module system' you can thing of advanced merge semantics and any such semantic can be expressed. Unfortunately, it is implemented itself in nix and not yet a language feature. This is at the root of a bad as bad can be tracing experience, which often hangs somewhere in or through the module system. nickel to the rescue. | 18:16:20 |

yeah a default like host.wait_for("multi-user.target") or "default.target" might be better It works well for me https://github.com/GTrunSec/digga/commit/eb224906cad3e45bca621f76f7c45ae02830dc37 | 23:35:24 |

 @kraftnix:matrix.org | is nickel usable with nix/nixos at the moment? i would be really interested to try it out if it were | 02:58:49 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | it outputs json, so you could output static values. Though, since nix derivations already have substitution scripts, it would probably be easy enough to leave placeholders in the nickel such as @foo@, and substitute dynamic values on the nix side | 03:03:49 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | I mean, you obviously have the computation on the nickel side to do whatever you like to generate those static values as well. If someone were to reimplement the nix module system in nickel, it would be a lot more ergonomic to generate an entire config, and then simply import the final result from the json | 03:07:55 |
| @timdeh:matrix.org | And the nix module system could probably do with some strict contracts anyway. Could help improve the design. We certainly would have to maintain the bolted on type system there | 03:08:37 |
