But I recognize that if you need to do something slightly unusual, documentation is incomplete and scattered. For simple things, my contrarian view is that Nix is not hard at all. The subset of Nix I use can be learned in a couple of hours. I think the trick is to avoid getting sucked into packaging complex software with messy build systems. If the stack you use is well packaged in NixPkgs, it's a joy to use. If it's not, it's better to stay away.

How is timescapes measurably worse
It starts with the assumption that our observations of cosmic expansion are false and due to time dilation from a clumpy universe, then works out how clumpy the universe must be to account for our observations.For timescapes to "work" time must run 38% faster in cosmic voids. This works out to a density difference of about 100,000 times what we observe with many existing methods.
