Notes

In Minecraft it is imperative that there are exactly 4 villagers in a breeder, if there are more than 4 beds it makes them mad and stop producing babies.

Nix’s builtins.toString doesn’t stringify a Boolean directly but instead returns an empty string for false and "1" for true. The reason for this is apparently that the result is optimized for use in shell pipelines, so the result is expected to go into a [ -z $result ] on the result of calling the function. Lost entirely too much time to this.

Apple maintains a repository of resources for password managers GitHub

Prism Launcher’s OAuth flow is not triggered properly when I log into Microsoft/Xbox with the usual GitHub way, I need to explicitly log in using my password to make it work.

Nixpkgs has a pkgs.mkBinaryCache helper that lets you create a flat-file binary cache suitable for moving around without needing a server component.

To remove a Git submodule go through these annoying steps: git submodule deinit -f path/to/module rm -rf .git/modules/path/to/module git config -f .gitmodules --remove-section submodule.path/to/module git add .gitmodules git rm --cached path/to/module

Although Rust’s macro_rules macros operates on syntax trees and thus cannot propagate types, there are ways to make the compiler do it for you. One such trick is to insert a function call that expects only the specific type you want, which then fails for the other types that are not expected by the macro.

There are APIs in Jetpack Compose to be able to size things exactly as tall/wide as specific Insets, which is documented here.

git add -N will stage a file without any of its changes, you can treat that as an “intention” to add as well as allow diffing additions without needing diff --cached.
