 Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Or rather “it’s not thread safe if you call begin() for the first time concurrently” | 10:14:48 |

 antifuchs | * All the lixcon talks I’ve seen recordings of so far are super great! Thanks for sharing them with all of us who couldn’t make it | 12:00:02 |
 zoë (@blokyk) | with regards to #1175, does saving each typed line ourselves (e.g. in an std::list or std::vector?) and then appending it to the file sound good? if so i can try to make a CL for it, but i want to get a vibe-check for it first | 12:26:04 |

 piegames | Hm, would simply saving the history after each command also work around the issue? | 12:46:25 |
| piegames | (Not sure if that's a good idea either) | 12:46:41 |
| zoë (@blokyk) | no unfortunately, unless we also reload the history before each prompt, because otherwise we'll still be writing the "outdated" history to the file | 12:48:12 |
| zoë (@blokyk) | for most people it shouldn't be an enormous burden, but idk it feels dirty and pretty fragile | 12:50:44 |

| zoë (@blokyk) | personally i don't feel like that's a better solution :/
in part because of the aforementioned fragility+timing, but also because it'd then have the side effect of sharing the history between every repl session, which is an antifeature imo (i often have two repl sessions side-by-side to trying out different things, or i open a quick repl to check something for a bigger expr or something; if both sessions are shared i have to wade through the other repl's history while trying to navigate the current session's history because they're now all confusingly interleaved... there's a reason i generally disable zsh's SHARE_HISTORY option @_@) | 13:04:06 |
| piegames | I see | 13:11:14 |
 goldstein | offtopic, but thank you for teaching me I can just disable SHARE_HISTORY, this was annoying me immensely | 14:46:20 |
| zoë (@blokyk) | there's actually multiple mutually-exclusive settings that control zsh, each one making you go "wait, the other one didn't do that?!" :D

I think there were a few CLs on the Gerrit but nothing being actively worked The other thing that I could do if it helps is test things and try to find bugs. I did do some C++ work in the past, but may lack the time to do it justice here at least for about 30 days or so | 15:55:29 |
 Qyriad | we are not in any rush 🙂 | 17:20:53 |
| samrose | Would it help to also test out the existing Lix code and try to find issues/bugs etc? | 17:23:21 |
| Qyriad | absolutely | 17:23:41 |
| samrose |
- how do people feel about the existing test suite that comes along with nix source code or Lix?
| 17:23:48 |
| Qyriad | it's pitiful | 17:24:10 |
| samrose | heh | 17:24:16 |
 raitobezarius | expanding it is cool | 17:24:23 |
| raitobezarius | writing new tests for builtins which are not tested | 17:24:30 |
| raitobezarius | new test behaviors, etc. | 17:24:32 |
| Qyriad | we have three flavors of test:
gtest (offer only available in libexpr and libutil) bash script virtual machine
the vast, vast majority of testing is in the "bash script" flavor and it is a mess | 17:25:01 |
| samrose | I was just going to ask on the "functional" tests: do we still like using bash there? | 17:25:56 |
