@adingbatponder@fosstodon.org Yeah the students use Windows, but I of course also need to be able to use the IDE that's established in the course 😅 Took my a tad longer that I'd have liked to get it running, but as usual with NixOS, I now have something reprodicible and who knows how often I might need just that.
Python's strict indenting also trips me up and the lack of a canonical formatter doesn't make it better, Rust is much nicer in those regards, indeed. But not useful for interactive data analysis.

@nobodyinperson@fosstodon.org Your fight shows that nixos is amazing because all you want is for it to work and work again in future. I have problems with update of flakes which causes massive massive issues but also can resolve a current issue. The pinning of the solution to fixed hashes and inputs might get around the problem that an update kills the thing... just wondering.
