 niko ⚡️ | Which imo is the worst part, because nix can’t even decide which way it wants to go | 21:45:39 |

Yes, but also not always because + can also add strings together so obviously that doesn’t translate to __add Okay so, + is not addition, it is string concatenation :) | 00:37:13 |
| piegames | Basically in the beginning Nix had no numbers. So when they were introduced, + got overloaded, but for the new operators primops were used instead | 00:38:51 |

 Emma [it/its] | hm, is there a way to parallelise a flake update? | 02:04:30 |
| Emma [it/its] | given that -j doesn't seem to be applicable here | 02:04:58 |
 Coca | I thought flakes updated concurrently already but that's probably not true | 02:15:57 |
| Emma [it/its] | they dont (can check with -v) | 02:19:21 |
| Coca | Hm, that makes npins the only pinner that's concurrent then in the nix ecosystem then I think | 02:20:56 |
| Coca | Weird nobody has done it before | 02:21:17 |

 neobrain | Is there any inherent reason that Lix doesn't indicate percentual progress when fetching flakes but instead only shows an absolute in-progress download size? | 20:42:41 |
 delroth | yes-ish as there's a freeze on any development related to flakes in Lix which makes it unlikely for such improvements to get done, but other than that probably not? it might use a different download infrastructure from the rest of the downloads in Lix because flakes code tends to be a bit weird and sectioned off | 21:19:14 |
