 joepie91 🏳️🌈 | unsure if this has been brought up here before, but: https://ianthehenry.com/posts/how-to-learn-nix/introduction/ | 20:46:53 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | looks like someone has done an extensive 'end user review' of sorts of the docs | 20:47:06 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | or, is doing*? | 20:47:14 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | might be helpful for locating pain points | 20:47:48 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | interestingly, written with the explicit intention to be usable as a sort of unsolicited user acceptance test | 20:52:46 |

 Domen Kožar | Is anyone here using nix-direnv? | 15:58:06 |
| Domen Kožar | I'm evaluating https://github.com/nix-dot-dev/nix.dev/pull/83 and want to know general experience | 15:58:18 |
| Domen Kožar | one of the goals of nix.dev is not to recommend two things, but recommend a good default and then possibly mention alternatives | 15:58:39 |
| Domen Kožar | but I'd like to gather some evidence that nix-direnv is better than plain direnv | 15:59:13 |
 chreekat | Interesting, I'll try it out myself. Keeping gcroots sounds nice | 16:01:38 |
| chreekat | I mean sounds like it should just be upstreamed :) | 16:02:56 |
| infinisil | +1 for nix-direnv! | 16:07:12 |
| Domen Kožar | infinisil: any drawbacks you saw? | 17:07:07 |
| Domen Kožar | I'm a bit wary of stale cache | 17:07:32 |
| chreekat | One drawback i immediately see is the installation instructions seem a bit complex, suggesting that I add options to be nix config without explaining what they do or what the consequences are | 17:17:55 |

| Domen Kožar | Yeah installation is overwhelming, but it's really just about getting the binary | 19:41:56 |
 Jan Tojnar | Domen Kožar: I saw some weird behaviour with nix-direnv https://github.com/edolstra/flake-compat/pull/14 | 19:51:47 |
| Jan Tojnar | not sure what is causing it but perhaps it does something differently and caution is waranted | 19:52:32 |
| Jan Tojnar | otherwise it worked pretty great, significantly faster than pure direnv | 19:53:30 |
| Domen Kožar | so that's an issue when starting a new repo? | 19:57:46 |
| Domen Kožar | sounds like something that can be fixed | 19:58:20 |
| Domen Kožar | would be good to fix it in nix-direnv | 19:58:31 |
| Domen Kožar | thanks Jan Tojnar | 19:58:59 |

| Domen Kožar | is there an issue for converting options to markdown? | 21:35:43 |
 ryantm | Not that I know of. | 22:09:37 |

 trofi | Some of https://github.com/NixOS/nix-pills/pulls checks hang since May 2020. That's very confusing :) | 09:06:19 |
