I'm not going to lie if something is badly presented or mediocre. I don't think that helps the team that made it or the quality of HN.
I don't want people to be sad or hurt either.
Sometimes it looks like something is opportunistic or scammy. In that case you flag it. If something seems clueless and doesn't seem to have a lot of work or thought behind it I hope people want to help when they level harsh criticism. In these cases people need direction and it's a case where guidance or mentorship might help. It's so important to do this with care.
How long did you spend trying to learn Nix? I am trying to learn Nix as well because when I see it working it looks very clear and organized.
NixOS seems like it is from the future in my opinion. I agree the docs are outdated a bit. I had to go on IRC to #nixos to find out nix-shell is now nix shell. I submitted a pull request to the Nix Pills for that.
The command is still `nix-shell`, `nix shell` is the next-generation replacement but unfortunately it's still not at feature parity with the old command.
Taskwarrior. I really wish I could use it on all my mobile devices easily. I especially wish that I could control it using my voice and use it with all my wearables. I think a taskwarrior service with easy setup and UI through modern channels is my dream of how people change the way they get things done. Taskwarrior isn't there yet but I feel like I've got super powers when I plan with it. Unfortunately when I'm doing my plans I don't want to always have a terminal window open.
