| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | Can this be because of the stick? | 12:42:02 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | Like, a hardware error | 12:42:08 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | Anyways offtopic | 12:42:16 |
 antifuchs | this is fascinating! is there a writeup of this somewhere / an issue? I'd love to understand that more. | 19:53:06 |
 raitobezarius | The wiki may talk about it around the concept of "zygote" | 21:01:10 |
| raitobezarius | I think looking at docs on Android zygote might be the more efficient way to learn about the problem space | 21:01:46 |

The wiki may talk about it around the concept of "zygote" No search results for that keyword | 22:21:21 |
| raitobezarius | https://source.android.com/docs/core/runtime/zygote | 22:41:52 |
| raitobezarius | i figured out another piece of docs to explain the problem than the obscure piece of docs of zygote of Android | 23:51:28 |

| raitobezarius | another plan we have to solve this is to be able to use vfork | 23:51:40 |
| raitobezarius | (the path is being slowly opened by the recent chains on reworking libexec helpers in https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/4994) | 23:51:56 |
| raitobezarius | the important piece is | 23:52:42 |
| raitobezarius |
given that before COW fork() was too slow as the kernel had to copy the parent's context.

| antifuchs | Ah, the classic fork-copies-everything issue, eh. Thanks for linking that! | 01:00:45 |

Ohno i guess Lix isn't registered yet | 16:09:43 |

| antifuchs | pretty sure there are witches working on the lix project that could arrange for a bane | 17:13:09 |

 niko ⚡️ | Does Lix expose any probes for profiling, especially when it comes to eval? | 11:51:38 |
| piegames | What do you mean with probes? If you want to profile your Nix code then it has performance counters you can print with some flags (IIRC), when it comes to profiling eval itself then perf and callgrind it is | 12:44:10 |
 thubrecht | NIX_SHOW_STATS=1 is the env variable that makes it print the counters | 12:54:39 |
