02:35:00 <oren> is it cheaper to buy one large SD card or several smaller ones?
02:37:38 <oren> hmm, price seems to be linear with the data size
02:38:31 <oren> no wait, it's not linear. WTF
02:39:46 <oren> 64GB=70$ 32GB=17$ 16GB=10$
02:40:19 <oren> so I guess the best deal is at 32gb sdcards?
02:40:27 <FireFly> Eh, i think you can find cheaper SD cards than that
02:40:47 <FireFly> well, check the data rate and such too, I guess
02:40:57 <oren> this is on futureshop.ca... maybe if I go to koreatown
02:41:12 <FireFly> Don't you have any price comparison sites over there?
02:42:18 <FireFly> I seem to be able to find 64GB SDXC cards for ~300 SEK ≈ 35 USD
02:43:03 <oren> Ooh, I see... walmart has much better prices
02:45:00 <fizzie> As said, not all SD cards are equal from a performance point of view.
02:45:48 <oren> I don't think i need high speed, this is just to put in my mp3 player
02:47:34 <oren> What does "class 10" mean?
02:48:30 <oren> Oh, I see, it means the same as 100x CD drive
02:49:05 <oren> Or something like that
02:50:11 <fizzie> 10 MB/s, or some such. Though it can get confusing.
02:50:48 <fizzie> Like UHS class 1 is regular class 10 or something.
02:52:13 <fizzie> Some cards probably still have those "133x"-style numbers related to nominal CD drive speeds.
02:55:01 <oren> Well it seems there's little benefit to getting multiple smaller sd cards
02:56:26 <oren> So I'll just get one 64GB one
02:56:38 <fizzie> Usually the GB/$ curve has a peak somewhere in the middle.

03:58:54 <elliott> now you have two buzzwords

04:15:47 <MDude> But I don't see why reversing them wouldn't be interesting.
04:17:56 <MDude> So you mean a genetic algorithm where the fitness is determined by the output of a neural network that analyses the candidates using its own learning criteria?

13:32:28 <oerjan> <mroman> Is C-- still a thing? <-- it basically lost to llvm
13:33:20 <oerjan> so is probably only used in ghc, ironically often with an llvm backend.
13:46:19 <oren> Can you write llvm code directly
13:46:20 <oren> ?
13:46:40 <oren> or is it binary?
13:46:59 <oerjan> i think there's both

13:48:04 <oren> define i32 @main(i32 %argc, i8** %argv) nounwind {
13:48:16 <oerjan> but i recall some haskell-related talk about whether to use the binary api or the written representation
13:48:16 <oren> Looks cool to me.
13:49:24 <oerjan> and i vaguely recall that the binary api is recommended if you're generating it by program
13:55:19 <oren> *reading docs* ohhh, no-unwind, not noun-wind!
13:55:46 <oerjan> nounwind the reverbs
13:57:52 <oren> Apparently you can tell it to use any number of bits for an integer
13:58:55 <oerjan> ialeph2
13:59:29 <oren> Maybe i'll start writing in this instead of C
14:15:34 <elliott> it's not cross-platform.
14:15:41 <elliott> for instance ABI.
14:25:45 <oren> elliott: is it cross-platform to all x86-64?
14:25:59 <elliott> ...
14:26:04 <elliott> well, actually probably not
14:26:18 <elliott> since win64 and linux differ on calling conventions, but then it's not OS-portable either
14:26:29 <oren> aww boo...
14:26:32 <elliott> well maybe you could write OS-portable LLVM IR if you really tried but it sounds hard
14:26:46 <elliott> well, no, since ABI
14:26:57 <oren> ZSNES is written in cross platform assembly somehow
14:27:10 <oren> crazy mofos
14:31:23 <oren> I guess they could use their own call convention for internal calls?
14:31:42 <elliott> most likely
14:31:45 <elliott> and lots of ifdefs for portability
14:32:15 <elliott> anyway, LLVM is SSA, it's not very human-writable :p
14:32:29 <oren> Hmm what does the CLR run on?
14:33:28 <oren> Oh, right it runs on CIL
14:34:26 <oren> CIL looks a lotmore writable
14:37:09 <oren> I mean, it is still an assembly language. But it has first-class string type
14:37:34 <elliott> it's also totally different to LLVM
14:37:43 <elliott> LLVM is for generating compiled, optimised native code, usually
14:37:44 <elliott> CLR is a VM
14:37:54 <elliott> LLVM is a compiler backend/intermediate language, not really a VM any more
14:38:05 <elliott> (if it ever was)
14:38:08 <oren> Can you not compile CLR though?

14:38:58 <oren> no wait, of course you can, I have exe's that i compiled from C#.

14:55:41 <elliott> there is some kind of CIL compiler though maybe I think. it might be new?

14:55:52 <elliott> but the VM is still at a higher-level to LLVM, by far.
14:55:57 <elliott> LLVM doesn't know about objects or even heap allocation.

15:20:23 <oren> to be fair, C by itself technically doesn't know about the heap either
15:20:53 <oren> C++ does though
15:21:12 <oren> iirc
15:31:13 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: leaving).
15:31:14 <oren> nope, apparently you can just load your own version of the new operatorif you're psycho enough
15:33:42 <FreeFull> You can run C# .exes in mono as long as they don't make use of windows-specific APIs (Windows Forms does work)
15:42:43 <coppro> oren: C++ doesn't know about the heap specifically, although it has a more detailed memory model
15:42:56 <coppro> C++ tends to do everything better than C these days
15:47:33 <oren> coppro: have they abandoned bugward compatibility to C yet?
15:50:39 <coppro> oren: yes
15:50:59 <coppro> they haven't changed the major misfeatures of C which have been baked into the language, but on small things, they've broken it
15:51:17 <coppro> and they only give the slightest damn what the C committee thinks these days

18:34:08 <oren> Oh, so it has one, but none of their pictures showed it
18:43:59 <fizzie> What surprised me was the whole thing where you charge it through that single USB type C port, too.
18:44:32 <fizzie> I think they had some kind of an adapter so that you could charge it while still having a USB device connected?
18:45:26 <fizzie> This work laptop has a nonstandandard mini-connector for Ethernet.
18:46:09 <fizzie> You need a dongle to stick in a regular cable. But the dongle is not a regular USB-to-Ethernet thing, it's just an adapter for the custom connector.
18:46:34 <fizzie> Admittedly it's slightly smaller than a USB port, so I guess it saves space over having a third USB port.
18:47:01 <fizzie> (It's got two regular USB 3's.)
18:47:38 <fizzie> The specs page lists the Ethernet port as a "Ethernet Extension Connection".
18:48:30 <fizzie> There's also a mini-DP and a full-size HDMI, so I guess for an "ultrabook" this thing is relatively okay.
18:48:47 <fizzie> The keyboard is ridiculous, though.
18:49:30 <oren> I usually use a usb keyboard and a usb mouse when i use my computer at a desk
18:50:12 <oren> (well, on my previous laptop that was necessary. this one has a fullsize keyboard)
18:50:34 <oren> but I use the same setup out of habit
18:51:05 <fizzie> This thing is just weird. Caps lock and backspace have been split in the middle (with no gap, just a sort of a bevel thing) into a Home/End and backspace/delete bi-keys.
18:52:00 <oren> lolwut?
18:52:39 <fizzie> And the function key row is a strip of some sort of touch-sensitive material, and touching the leftmost edge swaps between showing F1..F12 (plus four random special symbols) and showing more special stuff (bridgness, volume, some symbols I have no idea what they mean).
18:53:31 <fizzie> Like, there's a single symbol that has a camera and a hand and some extra "motion" lines for the hand. So it's the "wave hand at camera" button.
18:53:43 <oren> WTF
18:54:11 <oren> I have seen some cray keyboards but nothing like that
18:54:57 <fizzie> One is the "cut" symbol, and then there's a cloud, and then there's a "speaking" icon (face and "sound waves" from the mouth).
18:55:09 <fizzie> None of these result in any events as seen by xev.
18:55:20 <fizzie> I doubt they've really had Linux in mind for this thing.
18:55:49 <oren> my friend has this monstrous 20" abomination that has a light-up volume slider thing and a fingerprint password thing
18:56:17 <fizzie> Oh, there's a fingerprint sensor next to the keyboard on this too.
18:56:32 <fizzie> For the record, this thing is the Lenovo "X1 Carbon" ThinkPad.
18:56:56 <fizzie> Although I seem to recall they had two separate hardware revisions, and maybe the keyboard in the first one was less weird or something.
18:57:06 <fizzie> All reviews about this thing I've seen have mostly complained about the keyboard.
18:57:33 <oren> Yeah my friend's laptop is also a lenovo of some sort
18:57:36 <fizzie> Though it's pretty nice as far as regular typing and such goes. The touch-panel for the function keys lacks any feel, of course.
18:58:18 <oren> Or... maybe it's an asus?

19:08:27 <oren> Well, I looked up the laptop, looks like the newest version has a more normal keyboard
19:11:44 <oren> FP: "the new macbook has only 8GB of RAM" Me: "only? ONLY?"
19:15:46 <fizzie> Yeah, this one has only 8GB too.
19:16:03 <FireFly> fizzie: split caps lock actually sounds like a neat idea... I mean, it's not as if its original function is any useful, and if you're going to replace it you might as well stick two keys there instead of just one
19:16:41 <fizzie> FireFly: It's possibly not a bad idea for anyone who had been keeping it as a caps lock and never pressing it.
19:16:45 -!- L8D has joined.
19:16:59 <fizzie> FireFly: If you've done the popular thing and swapped ctrl/capslock, it's probably somewhat confusing.
19:17:18 <FireFly> I have ctrl/esc on my caps lock
19:17:51 <FireFly> I wouldn't mind being able to put another modifier on the left half of the caps lock (since it's the right half I tend to reach for the ctrl/esc functionality)
19:17:54 <fizzie> Is that one of the "modifier when pressed with something, esc when pressed alone" kind of thing?
19:18:01 <FireFly> Yup
19:18:53 <fizzie> This keyboard also moves esc down from the function row, so that it's right next to '1'.
19:19:54 <fizzie> And the key formerly next to 1 (which is §/½ in the Finnish keymap, and not-and-broken-bar or some-such in UK) is between altgr and ctrl on the right side of the spacebar, the place where you'd normally find a menu key and maybe a right Windows key.
19:20:13 <fizzie> There's no menu key in this thing at all, which I mind a little, since I've used that as compose.
19:22:33 <Melvar> I wonder if I’m the only one who thinks replacing capslock with level3shift is the best thing.
19:22:42 <fizzie> An image is worth a kiloword, so https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4J9OAzXNfZAejVOUmt5eVpQZkk/view
19:23:08 <fizzie> Since I'm here in Mountain View anyway, I went to the Computer History Museum on Sunday.
19:23:33 <fizzie> There was one of those Lisp machines with the Symbolics six-modifier keyboards there.
19:23:55 <fizzie> (Control, shift, symbol, meta, super and hyper.)
19:25:07 * Melvar looks. Has control, shift, level3shift, level5shift, alt, super.
19:26:25 <fizzie> There was also a Connection Machine cube, but it's pretty boring with no leds lit.
19:28:00 <fizzie> And there's the working Difference Engine No. 2. They've also got one back in London, but I don't think they show people how it runs.
19:28:23 <Melvar> fizzie: Do those home|end and ⌫|delete keys send the codes one would expect from the keys with the same engraving on a more usual keyboard?
19:28:42 <fizzie> Melvar: As far as I can tell, yes. At least they worked out of the box.
19:29:26 <Melvar> Bah. >ω> So every other layout has to be tweaked to work right on it.
19:30:02 <fizzie> Depends on what you mean by "right". I mean, if you want them to do what they say they do...
19:30:31 <fizzie> I'm using a boring unmodified "setxkbmap fi nodeadkeys" on this. But I don't use the laptop all that much either.
19:32:03 <Melvar> Actually, it’s not as bad as some.
19:32:51 <oren> For my rgular input, I am using a custom IME with ` mapped to a whole bunch of shortcuts
19:34:09 <oren> 𝔣𝔯𝔞𝔠𝔱𝔲𝔯
19:35:08 <Melvar> I wonder why, if laptop vendors are fine with sticking the keypad into the main block + fn, they don’t do so with the rest of the stuff outside the main block.
19:37:49 <int-e> because volume control and opening a browser with the vendor's homepage are important features?
19:38:03 <int-e> (I made up the latter, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a real thing.)
19:40:03 <fizzie> int-e: The "adaptive keys" in this thing are supposed to have five modes: home mode, web-browser mode, web-conference mode, function mode and lay-flat mode.
19:40:05 -!- tromp_ has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds).
19:40:14 <Melvar> I haven’t ever seen them fill up the left side of the keyboard with that.
19:40:24 <fizzie> I don't know how to get to all those modes, the toggle-mode switch on Linux just toggles between two.
19:41:00 <fizzie> The home mode and the function mode, apparently.
19:42:15 <fizzie> Heh. The cloud key "opens the predefined cloud application".
19:42:53 <oren> the butt key opens the predefined butt application
19:48:21 <oren> Hmm, my computer has mostly useful buttons. My external keyboard, however, has a full range of useless keys from calculator to five "multimedia keys"
19:49:55 <L8D> so is bfjoust still a thing? or did that finally die?

19:52:21 <L8D> but is it still popular?
19:52:45 <oren> idono
19:52:57 <L8D> I'll assume it's not
19:53:53 <FireFly> oren: if "multimedia keys" means volume control, I would say that's actually useful
19:54:33 <oren> no, it means pause, play, stop, forward and back.
19:54:40 <FireFly> Ah
19:55:09 <oren> the volume control knob isn't a key and is useful
19:56:30 -!- `^_^v has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep).
19:56:55 <oren> I should map these keys to useful things. like opening a new terminal
19:57:54 <oren> the multimedia keys could be useful if they switched windows around
19:59:52 <FireFly> I find media control to be pretty useful, although I don't have any dedicated keys for it (and even if I did, I probably wouldn't use them) so I have mapped play/pause, prev, next to win+alt+(h,t,n) instead
20:00:29 <fizzie> L8D: BFJousting usually happens in waves. It's not popular now, but it might well be again in the future.
20:00:48 <L8D> fizzie: makes sense
20:00:50 * Melvar would have something similar if he ever figured out an easy reliable way to do it.
20:00:54 <oren> Mostly when I play music I just put on a 5-12 hour youtube videos, so the media keys don't even work
20:01:01 <fizzie> It's happened several times already. There's a brief (a week or two) boom, and then things die down again.
20:02:08 <FireFly> Melvar: to do what?
20:02:29 <Melvar> FireFly: Media control.
20:03:20 <FireFly> Ah
20:04:06 <FireFly> I bind the keys to `mpc toggle`, `mpc prev`, `mpc next` using xbindkeys

20:07:39 -!- pikhq has joined.
20:08:10 <Melvar> Yeah, there’s a protocol there, but I never got around to using it.
20:08:41 <Melvar> I did actually manage to make volume keys work, which is a separate issue.
20:09:23 <Melvar> (I don’t have them on my keyboard, but my headset sends appropriate keyboard events.)
20:16:08 <fizzie> I made volume keys work the other day as XMonad bindings.
20:16:39 <Melvar> That is in fact how I did it too.
