Sorry to cross-post, and if this is off-topic.

I'm just wondering if anyone here is able to answer my question re unsafeDiscardStringContext vs unsafeDiscardOutputDependency (and the unsafeDiscardReferences attr) in the "nix language" room?

I'm unclear on the differences, when one might choose one over the other, whether they avoid building the (un)referenced derivation, etc.

@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbill move the cache but keep the old one in case anyone wants it19:13:05
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Not sure the cache would be useful without knowledge of how it was populated, but maybe useful nontheless19:18:15
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbim fighting with kernel builds (and struggling to get this kernel to build correctly, but thats a different issue), ive done so much stuff, idk how to reproduce this mess19:39:45
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbbut i suspect that it coud be something with substituter and a unsigned path. thats the only weirdness i can think of19:40:12
