So long as that woman from the Rijksmuseum
in painted quiet and concentration
keeps pouring milk day after day
from the pitcher to the bowl
the World hasn’t earned
the world’s end.

Waiting
There are no calls from the outside.
Miracles are the perversity of literature.
We should know that by now.
Only that these never-revealed connections of things
lead us oddly on. Caesar's legions
entering Greenland's ice, the scout far in front
wanting to do battle where there are
no enemies,
never were any enemies.
- Jim Harrison

I repeat: ordinals is an *aesthetic* fail, not a technical or cultural one.
Yea i see now, its a VM manager. That can also do docker containers. Neat.
Its a docker thing? So you run nix within a docker container on your mac?
Ok you do not want nix-darwin. You just want to install nix for mac. Heres a good in depth post https://dev.to/synecdokey/nix-on-macos-2oj3
It does. It lets nix run your machine configuration declaratively, like nixos. Ive never done much macOS, but i'd be worried about apple making it hard in a future release--the hardware isnt open source so they could rug u. Youre also at the mercy of nix devs handling support if anything breaks.
imo best to spin up a beefy nixos vm, manage it with nixos declaratively, and get best of both worlds.
Or get a thinkpad ;)
nostr:npub1e0z776cpe0gllgktjk54fuzv8pdfxmq6smsmh8xd7t8s7n474n9smk0txy on that nix-darwin stream, what you want is probably mitchell's approach: run a nixos VM as your main desktop/env. Keep the mac side intact and leverage dat hardware. https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config
could do this with the mempool too nah?
Some fun things:
- have a way to build elixir + rust projects without writing rust build scripts in your Mix config. Keep both builds isolated.
- different recipes for release vs a Hex oackage
- use Tauri to make a desktop app of a Phoenix project via Nix 👀
Been working on a set of Nix templates for Elixir projects and its coming together nicely github.com/jurraca/elixir-templates
