good joke gchristensen. I'm disappointed that I have to explicitly add the standard unix text editor to systemPackages on nixos.

ed?

ed.

I installed nixos on an pi at one stage, and its ncurses was weird and didn't play nice with nano. So I wrote configuration.nix using the standard editor.

it wasn't that hard tbqh, once you got past the idea of doing keyhole surgery on text files

I would waste so much paper if I was using an actual tty though - I had to print some pretty large chunks of text to remember where I was

jackdk: I actually suspect that ed is the *ideal* text editor for blind developers.
<Arahael>
It surely has the best interface for use with a braille tty.

there's a web-browser called edbrowse written by a blind Frenchman, IIRC

THe modern web is probably horrible for the blind.

To get a sha256 hash of a new source, you can use the Trust On First Use model: use probably-wrong hash (for example: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000) then replace it with the correct hash Nix expected.

I've got a personal rule to never spend money on Magic, it's the kind of thing I'd... get really into if I let myself

But I've played a little (borrowing a friend's commander deck when I was at uni, and a bit of Arena since)
<srhb>
Taneb: Same here. I stay away. Not the only thing I have that rule about, too. xD
