Hmm I think reference docs can also use overviews of its parts, it doesn't really fit into tutorials, guides or explanation

Wait, this is not 1970?

# Set a fallback default value for SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, used by some build tools
# to provide a deterministic substitute for the "current" time. Note that
# 315532800 = 1980-01-01 12:00:00. We use this date because python's wheel
# implementation uses zip archive and zip does not support dates going back to
# 1970.
export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
: "${SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH:=315532800}"

I've drafted a small RFC to use nix.dev as the canonical domain name (but there's also alternatives), would appreciate some quick feedback: https://github.com/nix-rfc-canonical-domain/rfcs/blob/canonical-domain/rfcs/1000-canonical-domain.md

this RFC feels like it should have a mention of the nixos dot com problem :-)

in future work you could list that the implementation of the currently two websites could be unified. or maybe not. but it's a question that i had. you could also declare it as explicitly out of scope.

In reply to @infinisil:matrix.org
Sounds good, can you PR that? :D

as future work or as out of scope?

What do you think? If we want this, anyone interested in seeing it through?

In reply to @infinisil:matrix.org
It's a bit non-standard, but it seems fine

In reply to @raboof:matrix.org
do we have any doc writing guidelines such as "try to avoid words like 'simply'"?

Whe have a style guide for nix.dev https://nix.dev/contributing/documentation/style-guide

but no specific note on “simply”.
