General notes

• nix-channel and ~/.nix-defexpr are gone. We'll use $NIX_PATH (or user environment specific overrides configured via nix set-path) to look up packages. Since $NIX_PATH supports URLs nowadays, this removes the need for channels: you can just set $NIX_PATH to e.g. https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-15.09/nixexprs.tar.xz and stay up to date automatically.

• By default, packages are selected by attribute name, rather than the name attribute. Thus nix install hello is basically equivalent to nix-env -iA hello. The attribute name is recorded in the user environment manifest and used in upgrades. Thus (at least by default) hello won't be upgraded to helloVariant.

  @vcunat suggested making this an arbitrary Nix expression rather than an attrpath, e.g. firefox.override { enableFoo = true; }. However, such an expression would not have a key in the user environment, unlike an attrpath. Better to require an explicit flag for this.

TBD: How to deal with search path clashes.

Chromium OS ft. Docker

Chromium OS is cool. Chromium OS with crouton is cooler. Chromium OS with Docker is even cooler. This is specifically a guide for the Chromebook Pixel 2 (2015), but I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work with other devices.

1. Create a build environment
2. Customize the kernel
3. Build Chromium OS
4. Flash Chromium OS to USB
5. Install Chromium OS

This uses terraform's template_file resource to generate a yaml properties file for serverspec to use.

• create the Rakefile in your terraform project root
• create a spec directory and put spec_helper.rb in it
• create the templates/properties.tmpl.yml file
• create the serverspec.tf
• terraform apply

tests

Tests will be matched based on roles defined for a given node.

When unsing docker compose you can have a problem with the order of dependent linked containers

The solution is to start a script which tries to access a service and waits until it gets ready before loading your program

Hi Nicholas,

I saw you tweet about JSX yesterday. It seemed like the discussion devolved pretty quickly but I wanted to share our experience over the last year. I understand your concerns. I've made similar remarks about JSX. When we started using it Planning Center, I led the charge to write React without it. I don't imagine I'd have much to say that you haven't considered but, if it's helpful, here's a pattern that changed my opinion:

The idea that "React is the V in MVC" is disingenuous. It's a good pitch but, for many of us, it feels like in invitation to repeat our history of coupled views. In practice, React is the V and the C. Dan Abramov describes the division as Smart and Dumb Components. At our office, we call them stateless and container components (view-controllers if we're Flux). The idea is pretty simple: components can't
