edef | * every nix build is bottlenecked on c.n.o 404s | 17:43:52 |
Arian | We don't cache them at all? Because we DO cache 404s locally | 17:44:52 |
Arian | (found that out the hard way) | 17:44:57 |
edef | we cache them at most briefly, but this isn't the point | 17:45:30 |
edef | every derivation you build that isn't cached doesn't start building until it has been confirmed it 404s | 17:45:47 |
edef | approximately 100% of all nix derivations aren't in the cache | 17:46:02 |
edef | the caching is in the wrong direction | 17:46:29 |
edef | caching absences buys you essentially nothing | 17:46:42 |
edef | there are 1461501637330902918203684832716283019655932542976 (2^160) store paths, most of which are absent from the cache | 17:47:04 |
