Remove default values for Nix expression parameters I'm not sure if this commit breaks everything in my monorepo. I think it will. Why am I doing this? Perhaps it's a bad idea. I don't fully understand how readTree works. My ignorance is costing me hours of time spent debugging. In an effort to better understand readTree, I'm removing the default values for my Nix expression parameters, which I believe have preventing errors from surfacing. 2020-02-23 23:29:32 +01:00			`{ pkgs, ... }:`
Nixify simple_vim idea I previously had an alias defined as `simple_vim`, which would start an instance of Vim with a bare bones config. I had a to-do to Nixify it. That is now (mostly) to-done. When I try and install it with `nix-env -f ~/briefcase -iA tools.simple_vim`, Nix fails and says that pkgs.stdenv is undefined. I will need to fix this one day, but it is neither important nor urgent... 2020-02-12 19:05:32 +01:00

Prefer builtins.path Following the advice of Domen's nix.dev anti-patterns, I'm preferring something like... ```nix builtins.path { path = /path/to/some.where; name = "some.where"; } ``` ...to ```nix /path/to/some/where ``` While the former is more verbose, it will fail to build when the path doesn't exist, which I prefer. 2020-08-27 00:01:35 +02:00			`configVim = builtins.path {`
