 Jez (he/him) 🌦️ | probably a very niche interest, but i just modified the binderhub nix example to demonstrate how to Do It With Flakes if anyone's interested https://tildegit.org/petrichor/binder-nix-flakes | 15:25:05 |
| Jez (he/him) 🌦️ | the classic nix example is here https://github.com/binder-examples/nix | 15:26:29 |

 John ✒️ | very cool Jez (he/him) | 13:15:06 |
| John ✒️ | How has your experience been with nix and binder? | 13:15:29 |
| Jez (he/him) 🌦️ | very little so far! i use binder from time to time but i'm no expect | 16:26:34 |
| Jez (he/him) 🌦️ | * very little so far! i use binder from time to time but i'm no expert | 16:26:36 |
| Jez (he/him) 🌦️ | binder+flakes was just something i wanted to try once i learned more about nix because the lockfile makes it (in my head) easier to guarantee the precise versions of dependencies for reproducibility | 16:27:49 |
| Jez (he/him) 🌦️ | plus a friend of mine is on the binder core team so i occasionally just go and bother them with stupid ideas | 16:28:24 |
| Jez (he/him) 🌦️ | but binder & nix seem like a really nice complementary pairing | 16:28:59 |

| lunik1 | Any recommendations for data pipeline/toolkits that integrate well with nix? | 11:31:51 |
 jbedo | to do what? i use nix with a thin layer on top to manage bioinformatics pipelines | 12:03:59 |
| tomberek | jbedo: do you use bionix? or is it another thing? | 13:12:47 |
| lunik1 | Currently I just have a bunch of python scripts I execute in a given order, but I'm looking for something that would help me formalise that order, easily extend/swap out parts of those pipelines, and help with deployment | 15:01:59 |
| tomberek | lunik1: that's a pattern I used Nix/Hydra for. Basically you have a set of "ingress"/"egress" derivations that may be impure (eg: fetch/store from S3) or pure. Then a chain of nix derivations that depend on each other. I defined a function to apply various transformations and map'd them to my list of ingress derivation. It was super nice for iteration, scaling up workers, cached results, experimenting with alternate pipelines. Way better and more productive than something like Airflow. I started to apply content-addressed derivations to them to do short-circuiting as well, it was still in progress for Hydra compatibility. | 19:36:25 |
| lunik1 | Damn that sounds awesome, any of this open source? | 19:37:47 |
| tomberek | No. My plan is to capture the idea, organize it a bit better, and have that be open source. I've heard of a few people re-inventing this a few times, so I want extract out the common portions and perhaps provide a "flow-library" or something to make it easier to put together. | 19:39:30 |
