 mr-qubo | I want to fix issue in nixpkgs. I have a local git repo with changes. How can I build my nixos configuration with this local nixpkgs to test the changes? I'm using channels. | 17:04:38 |
| mr-qubo | I've got it NIX_PATH=nixpkgs=/home/nix/nixpkgs:$NIX_PATH nixos-rebuild boot. | 17:42:38 |

 rendakuenthusiast⚡️ | why doesn't string interpolation work with integers? | 22:40:20 |
| rendakuenthusiast⚡️ | having to manually call (toString port-number) is kinda inconveneint | 22:40:38 |

why doesn't string interpolation work with integers? What would you want it to do ? JavaScript? | 22:41:14 |
| rendakuenthusiast⚡️ | basically have the "string-${variable}syntax automatically calltoString` if necessary | 22:41:37 |
| rendakuenthusiast⚡️ | which is what many languages with string interpolation syntax do | 22:41:51 |

 Matt Sturgeon | There's some precedent for this already: paths and derivations are stringified when used with string interpolation.
AFAIK most languages that have string formatting and/or string interpolation automatically stringify non-string values?
I get why you may want concatenation to be explicit about the type, but interpolation feels different 🤔 | 22:46:21 |

I get why you may want concatenation to be explicit about the type, but interpolation feels different 🤔 in particular interpolation for integers, which should be very easy to do | 22:55:19 |

 emily | oh boy | 19:16:32 |
| emily | that's not the only platform divergence, try builtins.split "" 🙃 | 19:16:49 |
| emily | but this might be a new one | 19:16:57 |
| emily | you might want to report it upstream | 19:47:21 |
