 @stablejoy:matrix.org | Id love to be there for the office hour on Monday if I understand this correctly https://pad.lassul.us/W9ex1jpVR1ekZrHnCCz9BA# | 07:43:41 |
| @stablejoy:matrix.org | To put a bit more context, I am stretched between GSoC and SoN applications atm, in addition to working on another issue, and I still haven't finished the work I did with the redirect script. I'd love to also attend Infinisil office hours, which are also this Monday. I'm currently slow and a beginner. So if thats ok then Id be happy to come? | 09:20:21 |

Id love to be there for the office hour on Monday if I understand this correctly https://pad.lassul.us/W9ex1jpVR1ekZrHnCCz9BA# Hi @stablejoy . That's great! I'm also a beginner and it's been a pretty neat learning experience. The hours take place on Mondays and Thursdays at 14:00 UTC, here's the link. infinisil and fricklerhandwerk let us know in advance here in case they cannot make it. See you on Monday! | 10:51:25 |
 fricklerhandwerk | stablejoy I’ll be there on Monday, but that announcement is not final yet. I use pads for only for drafts. | 10:56:56 |

Oh thanks, I misread then somehow I thought it's mornings. I have work afternoons (until Summer begins at least) | 11:00:33 |

Sure. I see... if you get a short break though and want to join, feel free to do so (no super strict times). Cheers! yeah this part in the linked pad: "I’ll try to distribute the hours across the day to make it more accessible, but prefer 7:00-11:00 UTC. Expect the times to converge on helping whoever shows up consistently." Anyway looking forward to it very much | 11:50:16 |

| @stablejoy:matrix.org | Also known as “let expression” or “let binding”
let expressions allow assigning names to values for repeated use.
| 12:26:51 |
| @stablejoy:matrix.org | I see the word assignment is used apr in the nix tutorial on nix dev | 12:27:06 |
| @stablejoy:matrix.org | * I see the word assignment is used a lot in the nix tutorial on nix dev | 12:27:18 |
| @stablejoy:matrix.org | * I see the word assignment is used alot in the nix tutorial on nix dev | 12:27:38 |
| @stablejoy:matrix.org | Im curious why not bind or binding | 12:27:53 |
 toonn | Most people are probably more familiar with the concept of variable assignment. | 12:28:22 |
| @stablejoy:matrix.org | I see Eelco uses the word assignment twice in thesis and binding more than 60 times. | 12:29:24 |
| @stablejoy:matrix.org | Oh ok how do you say usually? | 12:29:47 |
| toonn | I'd probably say assign more often. One difference is you assign a value to a variable, while you bind an identifier to a value. | 12:32:45 |
| @stablejoy:matrix.org | Oh like the assigned value changes while the identifier binds to that value | 12:34:52 |
| toonn | Well, in a pure language values assigned to variables don't actually change. | 12:36:43 |
| toonn | You can shadow a name but that's not really the value changing. | 12:36:59 |
| @stablejoy:matrix.org | Yes thats where my question is coming from. | 12:41:43 |
| @stablejoy:matrix.org | x = 2
x = 3
x is 3
let x = 5; in x
5
x stays 3 | 12:42:20 |
| @stablejoy:matrix.org | Uh formatting.. sorry. So assingment is said as convention in nix? | 12:42:49 |
