Definitely not. But when someone looks at me, my gaze is drawn to that person, to say "hello" for instance. I have the same kind of feeling with a camera. (Maybe if i was living in a town, i would loose this reflex.)

I think this is really close to the way nix2container works ( https://github.com/nlewo/nix2container ). nix2container generates metadata at build time and streams the required data at runtime. At build time, it generates

More precisely, this is the price per person but if you travel alone, you have to share a room with someone else. Or you would have you to make private a double room which costs about 5400E.

> With no way of splitting up the Nix dependencies into separate layers nix2container [1] is actually able to do that: you can explicitly build layers containing a subset of the dependencies required by your image. An example is provided

No, it has been initially developed to manage a "COMmunity INfrastructure" and it sounds like the word "coming". I didn't know this meme but it's a nice coincidence because this infrastructure is actually a kin

The main issue is to use configuration files residing somewhere in the filesystem. This looks like a global variable in a codebase (something we generally try to avoid). Instead, the configuration file should be explicitly provided as a com

Another advantage of the gomod2nix approach concerns long term build reproducibility [1]. Having each source dependency in its own derivation would make easier source code mirroring. Since Nix knows the hash of each sources, we could imagin

With https://github.com/nlewo/nix2container , I'm trying to make a more standalone tool. Basically, a Go binary takes a reference graph and produces a JSON file describing a container image. This JSON file is then
