Gabriel Arazas b088086b06 Merge evergreen notes into the notebook 
Now, it's all under the notebook umbrella. Seems to be appropriate as it
is just my notes after all.

I also updated some notes from there. I didn't keep track of what it is
this time. Something about more learning notes extracted from my
"Learning how to learn" course notes and then some. Lack of time and
hurriness just makes it difficult to track but it should be under
version control already.

Nix packages

  • the most important component managed with Nix package manager are Nix derivations
  • derivations are basically recipes how the Nix build daemon compiles the package
  • most derivations are verbose but we can easily create one with nixpkgs
  • for certain setups such as common conventions for certain programming languages like Rust and Go, nixpkgs has environments created for those; different versions may have changes so be sure to go into the appropriate documentation and create packages for a specific channel; this is significantly easier with Nix flakes
