Buckshot

I love this about Nix. Had a case this year where I'd hit a bug in the upstream, I fixed it and submitted a PR but then could reference that PR directly for the patch file until a new release finally made it out.

The bit about SEND is a lie because they are exempt from the new tax. The "hardworking parents" bit always annoys me, it implies the 93% just aren't working hard enough. If that's the case I'm sure those who can't afford the tax can just work a bit harder to cover it.

I did the same when I was 10. Got lucky with the position and did no real damage despite the nail coming out the top of the top of my shoe.

I pulled my foot back and the nail come out. Went to tell my dad what happened and he was talking to someone and told me to wait so i did for about 5 minutes. I wasn't bawling in pain so he didn't know anything was wrong.

Went to hospital and got an X-ray, a tetanus shot and a bandage.

No, an imperial ton is 1016kg. America made up this all on their own

Makes me wonder what we did wrong. We had a 20 person wedding. Immediate relatives only, parents grandparents and siblings plus their partners.

I paid for everything, including an open bar. We got 1 gift from my wife's grandparents and that was it.

Theres an extra detail that is often missed, in 2011 the roll out was accelerated by 4 years and there's some evidence it may have taken in to 2014 to notify everyone affected so it's possible you may have been expecting to get a pension in 2016 and with just over a year's notice find it's been moved to 2020.

They also increased the age to 66 and now 67 for everyone.

I have more sympathy for those but that's a much smaller cohort than the 3M figure being reported.

It's not even true. He wasn't an MP at the time it happened.

This is exactly what my RS was like, very inclusive and secular and my teacher was an Anglican priest. He didn't let his own views impact his teaching. I didn't appreciate it at the time but he was a great teacher.

100%. I also never found it that hard but I've been doing this 20 years now and I'm still learning. I look back at what I did a year ago and I probably wouldn't write it the same today. I've worked with people who don't seem to have learned anything in 10 years and it baffles me.

My work laptop is a dell xps and it's the same, 3 USB c and that's it. One gets used for charging. It came with a c to HDMI and A adapter. Basically forces you to need a dock at the desk and carry a bunch of adapters for anywhere else. Even just 1 type A for the mouse receiver would be nice because logitech still don't make type C receivers.

100%. Took me a good year to learn it well enough to be confident with what I was doing but I've now got it on everything with a single flake for all my hosts. I love that my user profile is configured the same everywhere. I can add a new tool or config or alias or whatever and it's the same on every computer.

I've now written a module to define all the services I self host and from that it generates both nginx config and DNS config on different hosts.

The main advantage for me though is I only have to solve problems once. Once it's there in the config I'm confident it's solved and I won't need to worry about it again. My previous server was 10 years old and there was stuff configured I'd long forgotten about how it worked or even why I did it.

Maybe someone else will have a better answer but in similar situations I've seen the derivation simply downloads a compiled release directly.

I ran into the same issue trying to package silverbullet which uses deno and I gave up, later I saw it was added to nixpkgs by just downloading the github release.
