 John Ericson | (perhaps this is something that Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) already talked to you about, in which case my bad) | 16:55:57 |
| John Ericson | is the issue that the value might be garbage collected too earlier / root set problems? | 16:56:33 |
 Taeer Bar-Yam | Yes. It will immediately get garbage collected | 16:56:59 |
| John Ericson | OK | 16:57:23 |
| Taeer Bar-Yam | probably I could rearrange the commits. I wasn't sure how much effort to put into cleaning up the commit history because i wasn't sure if I should squash them all before merging anyways | 16:57:47 |

probably I could rearrange the commits. I wasn't sure how much effort to put into cleaning up the commit history because i wasn't sure if I should squash them all before merging anyways In case the in-between commits are broken then there isn’t much point to keeping those separate. Also the diff is small enough | 16:58:45 |
| John Ericson | I don't know how much things can/should be squashed, I'll leave that to sergei :), but yeah anything that will be squashed away of course don't worry about the history | 16:59:06 |
| Taeer Bar-Yam | (i'm aware the tests are failing btw. looking into it) | 17:08:46 |
 Mic92 | Taeer Bar-Yam: btw. don't mind too much, but in general you can avoid "formatting" commands, by using git-absorb: https://github.com/tummychow/git-absorb | 18:25:51 |

| Taeer Bar-Yam | Ah, thanks for the tip! I'll try to look into it soon. Though I'm kind of wary of stuff that is automagical with my git history 😅 | 20:09:03 |
 magic_rb | It says it will only create fixup commits by default so you can review them | 20:10:29 |
| Taeer Bar-Yam | oh i see. that's much better | 20:10:55 |

|  @meltymeli:catgirl.cloud joined the room. | 10:59:50 |
| @meltymeli:catgirl.cloud | Hi. I'm on Void Linux. I really like how Nix handles configuration, but am worried I have to hop to get the full experience. Is this the case? | 11:01:25 |
 K900 | The full experience being full system config, yes | 11:04:53 |
| K900 | Also wrong room kinda | 11:04:57 |
| K900 | You probably want #users:nixos.org | 11:05:05 |
| @meltymeli:catgirl.cloud | Thank you. Yes meaning I have to hop? | 11:06:22 |
| K900 | Yes meaning you have to run NixOS | 11:06:41 |
|  volth joined the room. | 18:40:20 |
| John Ericson | https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/14063 is ready for review | 19:13:31 |
| John Ericson | fixed the GCC only issues | 19:13:36 |
| John Ericson | Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium): so it occured ot me that we can (de)serialize entire dummy stores to JSON | 21:10:36 |
| John Ericson | and this is, naturally, the grand culmination of my JSON issue | 21:10:53 |
| John Ericson | :) | 21:10:54 |

| John Ericson | Martin Schwaighofer: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/13942 JSON for the entire dummy store | 06:59:02 |
| John Ericson | this will hopefully allow us to unit the the substitutor | 06:59:21 |
| John Ericson | * this will hopefully allow us to unit the the real substitutor | 06:59:29 |
| John Ericson | and show how "build" (mocked up insertions) caching works | 06:59:44 |
