@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)some other single-word combinations I came up with for 1/2: interface/implementation, reading/writing, query/answer, possibility/determination17:29:03
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbpYeah, the statements are biased toward the solution I had, but this is the general idea of summarizing in a few statements what each is.17:29:13
@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)decision/choice17:30:41
@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)parameter/argument17:31:52
@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)well, you've got me thinking very laterally, brainstorming mode17:34:21
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbpThese are interesting suggestions! I bet others have ideas too. Coming back tomorrow, I expect this channel to be flooded with others' suggestions ;)17:35:10
@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth) so my end goal is mostly to replace the terms "declaration" and "definition" by something that's a little less ambiguous in normal English. A second goal is to find a term for a "whole" configuration, or the sum of all modules, such as what's returned by evalModules and nixosSystem 17:49:28
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbpThe FIX POINT result !17:50:11
@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)that's how it's implemented17:51:07
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbpthe implemnted configuration. Using a passive, as-if it was already there.17:52:48
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbp * the implemented configuration. Using a passive, as-if it was already there.17:52:54
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbpCausality and laziness are not playing well in Human languages.17:53:29
@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)oh that's necessarily what I meant when I said implemented, but I guess it kind of works17:53:31
@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)a problem with the term "whole configuration" is that it suggests that it isn't used as a submodule anywhere, which it may well be18:07:09
@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)fix point doesn't tell me that there aren't any metavariables in the function that's looped back on itself18:07:53
@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)I wish instantiation wasn't taken. How about instance?18:08:57

@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil @room The next meeting will take place in a couple minutes at https://meet.jit.si/nixpkgs-architecture, meeting notes here, and live stream here 14:54:20
@chris:mkaito.netmkaitoI'm going to skip today. Been dealing with a stomach bug since yesterday. Much vomiting. I'll read the notes. 🥺14:55:05
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilI wish you a good recovery!14:55:38
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa RossI'm on a train :(14:56:01
@j-k:matrix.orgj-kI think we have a member that joins from the car since I swear I've heard the click of an indicator & the grumble of a moving vehicle 😅 if you've got a seat & wifi you could always join even just to listen & type in the chat but completely up to you14:58:20
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa Rosswell the main thing is I doubt the internet is up to that14:59:00
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa RossI guess I can try!14:59:01
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil
In reply to @profpatsch:augsburg.one
I’d start by asking what the main use-cases for nixpkgs are. And then building some Personas, UX design style
profpatsch: Will you be there?
14:59:12
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbp infinisil: Could this be the back channel for meeting communication? Such that others who are not following live can catch up? 15:35:52
* @nbp:mozilla.orgnbp (6 minutes away from live)15:36:20
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa Rosswfm as long as infinisil is reading it (I'm most of the chat this meeting)15:36:49
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbpThat works too15:37:08
@j-k:matrix.orgj-k<jitsi call chat continues here>15:40:28
@nbathum:matrix.orgnbathum (he or they)lots of meta talk for now15:41:01
