  6. Problem was flakeRoot = "${inputs.self}" in in flake caused the rust code to swallow whole flake anew for any flake file change, even changes completely unrelated to the rust code, meaning a whole rebuild. Changed that to a find_flake_dir() function that discovers flake directory by walking up if FLAKE_DIR environment variable is not set.
    Took time down from always 22 mins, to 2 mins 20 sec for a minor nix fix rebuild. Ta

  7. In a and of a , my entire ( which is just a program in the flake ) gets built meaning that it takes eons: even if the change to the flake that made the build necessary was a trivial change to a thing that has no interaction with the rust derivation. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any pointers...

  8. 🎩✨ "Nix #Derivation Madness": Farid dives deep into the labyrinth of #Nix, only to find himself confounded yet again by its whimsically impenetrable logic. 🤯🔍 Spoiler: He discovers the #Ruby #interpreter is neither buildable nor runnable, as if the code itself is taunting him with a mischievous "you're not worthy" laugh. 😂🔄

  16. Sorting through my notes again, and hands-down the most interesting and thought-provoking talk I heard at the recent #DGKL conference in Osnabrück was @mhuening "Zur Morphologisierung sozialer Bedeutung". Unfortunately my notes are rather sparse: crazy examples of #German "-isierung" #derivation with completely different contextual meanings, and pointers to work by Alastair Pennycook (After words and Language assemblages, both 2024) and the Penelope Eckert paper on the Limits of meanings (doi.org/10.1353/lan.2019.0072) which I have wanted to read for a while now ... :)

  17. Tipping Hats
    February 13, 2022

    when asked of the name of the rose
    an echo replied

    what’s in a name makes a decent soup
    a lifetime of stirring things in
    to own or disown

    and though the smell some claim
    would bring good appetite
    regardless

    we find some fools
    did so vociferously lay claim
    in filth and ambition

    an echo replied
    all roses upon that name shall ashen fade
