 infinisil | Hmm I think reference docs can also use overviews of its parts, it doesn't really fit into tutorials, guides or explanation | 14:39:47 |
 fricklerhandwerk | Overviews are important, and should be right there with the reference docs. Reference will change, and while the prose overview may not catch up immediately, it's way easier to keep it in sync when it's in-tree. | 14:56:28 |
 proofconstruction | In case I just mass review-requested everyone on nix.dev, I apologize. I was trying to fix an erroneous push. Who are the administrators of the repo? We should enable branch protection on master to require a PR with approval before merging | 16:42:33 |
 @delroth:delroth.net | fun artifact of building nix.dev with flakes: the footer says "Copyright 2016-1980" | 16:46:24 |

Hmm I think reference docs can also use overviews of its parts, it doesn't really fit into tutorials, guides or explanation The way I see it is like dictionaries: you can add extra sections (intros, overviews, historical explanations, etc) but the indexing of the entries is alphabetical to ease its navigation. | 17:02:30 |
| alejandrosame | I'm with you that being too terse is in general problematic for documentation. | 17:04:09 |

Wait, this is not 1970? I think 1980 is the default SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH | 17:51:44 |
| nbp | isn't that the 1st of 1970? To which we added a few seconds because of gnumake? | 18:02:01 |
 @linus:schreibt.jetzt | ZIP can only represent dates starting from 1980, my guess is that that's why it would be 1980 and not 1970 | 18:04:44 |
