@fricklerhandwerk:matrix.orgfricklerhandwerkWe can always move issues around in the org. Please file every small thing, that makes it a lot easier to address in isolation. These Matrix exchanges are emphemeral, no one except the few people who actually read them will read them08:57:10

can we create a place for organizational issues like "notify maintainers on Hydra build failures"?

ok then we have some faults in how we discover issues because such a bug would get buried
19:06:48
@jade_:matrix.org@jade_:matrix.orgpartly github ui problems of course, but do we have a label?19:07:25

@asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.ukasymmetric A couple of things we should document 😜 20:22:21
@jade_:matrix.org@jade_:matrix.orgoops21:56:56
@jade_:matrix.org@jade_:matrix.orgwhen making shitposts we of course select the most obscure possible undocumented "features"21:57:45
@jade_:matrix.org@jade_:matrix.orghttps://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/27483522:01:44
@jade_:matrix.org@jade_:matrix.orgi will say we have a possible docs policy issue where there's various things that really shouldn't be used but do get accepted in nix and we would need to make it abundantly clear that we don't encourage their use; merely that they're there22:03:05
@jade_:matrix.org@jade_:matrix.orglike, half the expressions in the iceberg meme :p especially the operator overloading, i really don't think that's intended22:03:44
@jade_:matrix.org@jade_:matrix.orga lot of this, for better or worse, is implementation details that we shouldn't commit to. but we need to develop a way of saying something is the way it is without endorsing it or stabilizing it so to speak22:05:21
@qyriad:matrix.org@qyriad:matrix.org Yes, very much so 22:05:38
@jade_:matrix.org@jade_:matrix.orgit would be useful to have a page listing all the magic attributes on derivations that Nix itself interprets22:13:25
