 piegames | Last time I did some debugging with horrors it required manually loading / adding to an init file, and then it somehow didn't work with my setup somehow | 11:55:51 |
 raitobezarius | There's a safeness mechanism that prevent auto loading | 11:57:22 |

 vczf | I have been looking into why documentation doesn’t show up for lib.trivial.pipe in the repl (or other partially applied primops like bitNot)
Eldritch horrors actually reviewed my code and I have a bit more to go on | 18:32:34 |
| vczf | I was able to get some info out of value after adding the suggested line to my gdbinit | 18:33:34 |
| vczf | I’m not experienced with c++, so I might just be expecting too much from gdb vs java/dart as far as debugging goes | 18:35:35 |
| piegames | Some people swear on gdb, but for me it's a downgrade from IntelliJ Java land | 18:36:20 |

| raitobezarius | vczf FYI, Gerrit etiquette is that "ack" means "you read the comment but you are not addressing it" and "done" means "you read the comment and addressed it" usually | 20:43:59 |
| raitobezarius | (it doesn't really matter a lot in practice because we can compare patchsets) | 20:44:32 |

vczf FYI, Gerrit etiquette is that "ack" means "you read the comment but you are not addressing it" and "done" means "you read the comment and addressed it" usually Should I have left it unresolved? Felt odd to leave it unacknowledged when it may be some time before I update the code | 22:31:15 |

Should I have left it unresolved? Felt odd to leave it unacknowledged when it may be some time before I update the code Yeah it helps keep the "todo list" synced with your reviewer to leave unresolved if the code is non updated | 23:15:45 |
| raitobezarius | If you ack, your reviewer is the next one who needs to act | 23:16:01 |
| raitobezarius | When it should be you who should act | 23:16:14 |
| vczf | Gotcha | 23:18:24 |

 sky1e | I think besadii had a spurious failure checking https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/5250. Can someone poke it for me? | 19:32:07 |

 Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Would love to hear some thoughts on https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/15327. I recall chatting about symbol table order shenanigans and this seems to be an ok-ish solution to the f-ed up situation. Evaluation order already changes in practice, so making it more defined wouldn't be that bad I supppose? | 00:44:36 |

| piegames | Any alternative solutions to this? | 07:20:52 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | The only thing that comes to mind is to keep the status quo. One way or another some canonical order would have to be used I suppose. The cost of sorting doesn’t seem to matter that much, but there could be a way to amortise the cost by memoising the sorted order for commonly used attribute set shapes | 09:53:07 |
 K900 | Maybe it's time to make attrsets btreemaps after all | 09:53:53 |

Maybe it's time to make attrsets btreemaps after all Not sure about the memory usage there… They did use to be just a std::map before 2010 (circa 0.16) | 09:54:45 |
| K900 | I mean it shouldn't be that much bigger but it will also undo the stacking trick | 09:55:14 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | TVL’s fork of 2.3 did play around with that too | 09:55:16 |
| K900 | I wonder if there's like A Paper somewhere | 09:56:39 |
