Thus Far

TL;DR

• I’ve been messing with Nix on macOS, probably not correctly.

My Nix Setup (Probably Not Done Right)

I’ve been using nix-darwin to manage my macOS system declaratively—meaning instead of manually installing apps, setting preferences, and tweaking my environment, I define everything in configuration files.

Struggling with Motivation: A Personal Journey

The struggle for motivation is perhaps universal, but for me, it rings particularly true.

So what is a KeyPath in Swift? Lets try to answer this in a simply way, note this will not be in depth, but rather a very basic rundown of what a KeyPath is.

Seven years have passed since I last engaged with this site and shared content. This platform remains a personal space where I post items that pique my interest or prove useful to me. During my hiatus, I ventured into construction, building and working with concrete. Before that, I had a stint in the oil fields, and even earlier in 2018, I contributed to an open-source project called Trust Wallet, which Binance eventually acquired.
