03:25:11 <Jafet> Well, it's only short because substitution isn't hygienic
03:25:53 <Sgeo_> pikhq, what are good uses of variable tracing?
03:26:01 <Sgeo_> And is my idea really that terrible :/
03:26:20 <pikhq> Sgeo_: Debugging, inspiring drinking.
03:26:42 <oerjan> haskell's tracing function uses unsafePerformIO, just a hint
03:27:11 <Sgeo_> Tcl's tracing lets you run code when a specified variable is read from or written to or unset
03:27:18 <pikhq> oerjan: Tcl variable tracing is where you set up a callback that is triggered every time a variable is mutated.
03:29:10 <Sgeo_> Is there a command like this in some standard library somewhere?
03:29:17 <Sgeo_> Or, well, some thingy like tcllib
03:30:09 <Sgeo_> proc debugline args { set result [uplevel 1 $args]; puts "$args -> $result"; return $result }
03:30:15 <Sgeo_> Wait, that doesn't quite work, does it
03:33:16 <Sgeo_> Meh, just a command to stick in front of a line to print the line and its result
03:33:28 <Sgeo_> I could probably write it myself, just wondering if it pre-exists

05:35:28 <spirity> salt is essential for the survival of many animals.
05:35:57 <spirity> but it doesn't seem that abundant in nature? Is it just consumed from saltwater and saltwater fish and then propoagates through the food chain of carnivores?
05:39:30 <pikhq> spirity: I guess? Salt is essential for the survival of animals, but not in large quantities, so...
05:45:50 <spirity> apparently herbivores get along fine without too much salt.
05:46:33 <spirity> very few plants contain sodium
05:47:27 <pikhq> Though, herbivores in particular will often explicitly seek out salt licks.

06:01:41 <spirity> Peppercorns (dried black pepper) are, by monetary value, the most widely traded spice in the world, accounting for 20 percent of all spice imports in 2002. The price of pepper can be volatile, and this figure fluctuates a great deal year to year; for example, pepper made up 39 percent of all spice imports in 1998.
06:01:46 <spirity> that's really weird to me.
06:01:46 * pikhq_ cannot explain his enjoyment of this series
06:01:51 <spirity> black pepper isn't even that great of a spice.
06:02:33 <pikhq_> And, yeah. It's not that pepper is a very *expensive* spice, it's just used a lot.
06:03:05 <pikhq_> I bet by mass it's on the order of 50% of the spice trade.
06:03:24 <spirity> I typically use red pepper in place of black pepper, for things where it makes sense.
06:08:02 -!- Vorpal has joined.
06:13:00 <spirity> that most western european cuisines aren't really known for spicy foods.
06:13:35 <spirity> compared to say, korean, thai, south america, indian.
06:14:41 <pikhq_> Or even North American. At least, we've got a nice tendency to adopt spicy foods from other cultures...
06:15:03 <spirity> is authentic Italian spicy?
06:15:21 <pikhq_> Well. I guess Tex-Mex is purely American, and reasonably spicy...
06:15:40 <spirity> America has all the cuisines.
06:15:58 <pikhq_> That's kinda the only distinctive property it has.
06:18:05 <spirity> pizza? sure. but it could use some pineapples you know.
06:19:55 <spirity> Epic Meal Time is actually the essence of American cuisine in its purest form.
06:20:00 <Sgeo_> pikhq_, what's the worst that will happen if I use variable traces the way I said?

09:23:30 <mroman> But it does n * 2^n :)
09:27:58 <Vorpal> I need a more light weight browser for this computer
09:30:43 <mroman> Although producing n * 2 ^ n will get easier once I added all builtins from Stlang
09:31:31 <mroman> But good example for using while, thx.
09:34:36 <mroman> I guess the biggest issue for fibonacci is, that Burlesque has no explicit recursion :)

09:50:10 <Vorpal> mroman, similar capabilities to firefox, html5 and so on
09:50:17 <mroman> It doesn't fully support everything from html.
09:50:18 <nortti> Vorpal: if you want javascript you can use hv3. itis pretty buggy though
09:50:32 <mroman> So you wan't a lightweight browser that is not lightweight?
09:50:37 <Vorpal> it is not a super old computer. but firefox + android emulator = painful
09:50:47 <nortti> Vorpal: also what os are yo using?
09:51:00 <Vorpal> nortti, 64-bit Ubuntu on this laptop, it has 2 GB RAM
09:51:34 <nortti> how is that computer slow/old?
09:51:35 <mroman> http://twotoasts.de/index.php/midori/ then?
09:51:49 <mroman> WebKit should support all the regular stuff.
09:52:00 <Vorpal> nortti, not by itself. But when I run other stuff apart from firefox I can get it to swap trash every now and then
09:52:17 <Vorpal> and I don't want to have like only 2 tabs open
09:52:30 <Vorpal> I generally have around 30-40 tabs open
09:53:00 <Vorpal> mroman, will check that out
09:53:03 <Vorpal> nortti, is it a web browser?
09:53:57 <nortti> Vorpal: it is directly available from ubuntu repo

09:56:59 <nortti> oh. Line Mode Browser is still developed
09:58:00 <nortti> kinda like old lynx fused with ed
09:58:11 <nortti> second web browser ever developed
10:00:15 <nortti> also Amaya seems to be pretty light (w3c testbed browser)
10:01:47 <nortti> hmm. Dillo is still developed?
10:02:27 * Sgeo_ wonders in what circumstances command prefixes are not suitable alternatives to having closures
10:03:02 <mroman> PDAs can't have random memory access?
10:03:35 <mroman> Would that imply that it is impossible to do an arbitary effect at an arbitary point?
10:04:35 <mroman> Although if you have enough operations you can pop, put the element in a list, pop, add the element to the list
10:04:44 <mroman> and go back to any location of the stack, change it
10:04:50 <mroman> and deconstruct the list
10:04:55 <mroman> to reconstruct the stack
10:05:36 <mroman> That is, if you can have arbitary data on the stack, right?

10:09:33 <Vorpal> <nortti> hmm. Dillo is still developed? <-- is it? nice
10:11:04 <nortti> still netsurf seems to be the best lightweight browser unless you are really into surfing the net with your 486 in which case I can recommend links2 from experience
10:11:49 <Vorpal> feature-wise it seems pretty limited though
10:12:16 <nortti> but links2 is good enough for me as my main browser
10:12:18 <Vorpal> nortti, you know what I need? A desktop version of the mobile chrome browser
10:12:26 <Vorpal> that is pretty memory efficient iirc
10:12:34 <Vorpal> uses like 50 MB on phone
10:12:43 <Vorpal> while desktop chrome uses way more
10:12:55 <Vorpal> nortti, with a few tabs open yes
10:13:13 <nortti> browsers sure are bloated nowadays
10:13:28 <Vorpal> nortti, I do want HTML5 support and so on though
10:13:35 <Vorpal> because a lot of websites need it to be useful
10:14:12 <Vorpal> nortti, with 1 tab open (front page of xda-developers.com) it uses 31.52 MB
10:14:18 <nortti> http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2010/05/24/the-1-2kb-python-browser-script/
10:14:33 <nortti> there. it supports html5
10:15:12 <Vorpal> "But there are no tricks or gimmicks at work here, except to say that the browser is all of about 1.5Kb on disk, written in python and has webkit as its core." <-- except that I'm pretty sure webkit is larger than 1.5Kb
10:15:42 <nortti> yeah. only the size of browser script is counted
10:16:04 <Vorpal> chrome embeds webkit after all
10:16:18 <nortti> btw how can I measure memory use of program under linux
10:17:29 <Vorpal> <nortti> btw how can I measure memory use of program under linux <-- I would use htop?
10:18:14 <nortti> Vorpal: I mean in megabytes. htop only show percentages
10:19:03 <Vorpal> well SHR is shared memory iirc
10:19:29 <nortti> 22460 10680 2212 S 0.0 17.9 0:01.81 links -g xda-developers.com
10:19:31 <Vorpal> RES is resident, VIRT is address space allocated (not same as memory allocated obviously on linux)
10:19:45 <Vorpal> nortti, bytes or kbytes I guess
10:19:49 <Vorpal> don't know the unit there
10:19:58 <Vorpal> and I can't see the column headers either
10:20:37 <nortti> VIRT RES SHR S CPU% MEM% TIME+ Command
10:20:51 <Vorpal> anyway, memory usage is complicated given that stuff like shared libraries (libc.so or whatever) will exist in one copy in memory, shared between all processes on the system using it
10:21:01 <Vorpal> well, except for .data and so on
10:21:09 <Vorpal> .text and .rodata segments will be shared
10:21:16 <nortti> Vorpal: I think that my links is staticaly linked
10:22:05 <Vorpal> nortti, VIRT is not really interesting. It tells you how much it has allocated (mmap or sbrk. NOT malloc. Your libc provides malloc which uses something like mmap or sbrk to allocate memory from the kernel)
10:22:26 <Vorpal> but linux won't actually allocate any physical memory to the program until the program tries to access said memory
10:22:41 <Vorpal> before that it only exists potentially
10:22:48 <nortti> so is SHR the right reading?
10:22:49 <Vorpal> nortti, thus VIRT is utterly useless for most purposes
10:23:08 <Vorpal> nortti, SHR is shared from what I remember. So that is not all that interesting
10:23:11 <nortti> also it was dynamicaly linked
10:23:41 <Vorpal> anyway it is memory that is shared by more than one process, I'm not sure if that includes ro shared or just rw shared
10:23:49 <nortti> Vorpal: what does RES mean?
10:24:02 <Vorpal> nortti, I'm trying to remember how to interpret that
10:24:26 <Vorpal> nortti, I don't remember if it includes mmaped files or not
10:24:30 <Vorpal> which makes a huge difference
10:24:50 <nortti> ok. also links is running on 1280x1024x32 framebuffer
10:25:06 <nortti> does that have any effect in RAM use?
10:25:08 <Vorpal> nortti, it might be that RES doesn't include swapped out stuff?
10:25:28 <Vorpal> nortti, the ps man page contains the following note:
10:25:30 <Vorpal> The SIZE and RSS fields don't count some parts of a process including the page tables, kernel stack, struct thread_info, and struct task_struct.
10:25:30 <Vorpal> This is usually at least 20 KiB of memory that is always resident. SIZE is the virtual size of the process (code+data+stack).
10:26:11 <Vorpal> but yeah, the virtual size will include pages you allocated but never touched
10:26:26 <Vorpal> your libc is going to do that for pooling purposes
10:26:45 <Vorpal> q: RES -- Resident size (kb)
10:26:45 <Vorpal> The non-swapped physical memory a task has used.
10:27:01 <Vorpal> o: VIRT -- Virtual Image (kb)
10:27:01 <Vorpal> The total amount of virtual memory used by the task. It includes all code, data and shared libraries plus pages that have been swapped out.
10:27:01 <Vorpal> p: SWAP -- Swapped size (kb)
10:27:02 <Vorpal> The swapped out portion of a task's total virtual memory image.
10:27:17 <Vorpal> HOWEVER, I know for a fact that VIRT includes the untouched memory
10:27:42 <Vorpal> does that really go into RES?
10:27:53 <Vorpal> pretty sure it doesn't
10:28:05 <Vorpal> yeah it doesn't in htop at least
10:28:10 <Vorpal> 20555 arvid 20 0 858M 173M 39056 S 0.0 9.4 0:31.42 /usr/lib/firefox/firefox http://esolangs.org/wiki/Burlesque
10:28:21 <Vorpal> see, 858M VIRT, 173M RES
10:28:59 <nortti> well I can at least say that running 4 instances of links2 with Xvesa on Pentium 100MHz with 40MB of RAM works fine
10:29:16 <Vorpal> 20555 9.4 858m 685m 173m 68 364m 38m 326 0 S 20 0 2 firefox
10:29:29 <Vorpal> PID %MEM VIRT SWAP RES CODE DATA SHR nFLT nDRT S PR NI %CPU COMMAND
10:29:29 <Vorpal> 20555 9.4 858m 685m 173m 68 364m 38m 326 0 S 20 0 1 firefox
10:29:51 <Vorpal> however, that SWAP includes stuff not actually swapped out
10:30:02 <Vorpal> because my total swap usage is 214 MB
10:30:15 <nortti> oh come the fucking on
10:30:28 <Taneb> Right, I now have a computer
10:30:33 <Taneb> Now to find some OS's
10:30:39 <Vorpal> nortti, I think SWAP there includes swapped out stuff and also the allocated but not actually ever used stuff
10:30:54 <nortti> Taneb: haiku, syllable, netbsd
10:30:55 <itidus21> Taneb: does your computer have an adder circuit?
10:31:14 <Vorpal> nortti, yes memory usage under Linux is /complex/
10:32:05 <Vorpal> nortti, for a single process just reading /proc/<pid>/maps and adding up the relevant segments might be saner :P
10:32:33 <Vorpal> $ cat /proc/20555/maps | wc -l
10:32:44 <Vorpal> a /LOT/ of mmaped stuff
10:33:14 <Vorpal> lets filter out ro mappings
10:34:28 <Taneb> itidus21, quite possibly!
10:34:47 <nortti> juhani@T20-slitaz$ cat /proc/5337/maps | wc -l
10:34:49 <Vorpal> it shares most libraries with other apps, but some of them only firefox uses
10:34:54 <fizzie> hkallasj@valdieu:~ cat /proc/737/maps | wc -l
10:35:02 <fizzie> That's also a Firefox.
10:35:11 <Vorpal> nortti, that doesn't tell you the amount of memory, just number of mapped regions
10:35:29 <Vorpal> 7fc4fcc87000-7fc4fce86000 ---p 00018000 fc:00 22921 /lib/libpthread-2.11.1.so
10:35:34 <Vorpal> what is the point of THAT mapping?
10:35:36 <nortti> juhani@T20-slitaz$ cat /proc/5451/maps | wc -l
10:35:42 <Vorpal> a private mapping with no permissions
10:35:57 <Vorpal> nortti, the interesting bit is really the size of the allocations
10:36:14 <fizzie> Sometimes there are ---p guard pages, I suppose.
10:36:34 <Vorpal> 7fc4e3c70000-7fc4e3c80000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 <-- oooh I think firefox is JITing something eh?
10:36:40 <fizzie> It's not like the mapping costs much, and it catches writes before they go mungle something else.
10:37:09 <fizzie> Could be something completely different too.
10:37:26 <Vorpal> $ cat /proc/20555/maps | grep -Ev '[-r]-[-x][sp]' | wc -l
10:37:26 <fizzie> That one for example is a bit big.
10:37:43 <fizzie> (For a guard page, I mean.)
10:37:55 <fizzie> I saw a few single-page ---p nameless things.
10:37:56 <Vorpal> too lazy to calculate that
10:38:05 <fizzie> The 00018000 is the size, isn't it?
10:38:28 <nortti> with my os I'm going to have this syscall: therealgoddamnedmemoryuse(PID)
10:38:39 <fizzie> It just seemd to be in the right ballpark.
10:39:09 <fizzie> Oh, it's the offset field.
10:39:10 <Vorpal> fizzie, anyway it could be that the kernel has that mmaped to the process but the process hasn't yet used it
10:39:40 <fizzie> ~ cat /proc/737/maps | grep -c rwx
10:39:45 <fizzie> Quite a lot of rwx in there too.
10:39:53 <Vorpal> fizzie, if you put it as no access you are going to get a page fault on access, thus you can map it lazily
10:39:54 <fizzie> Software these days, so complicated.
10:40:04 <Vorpal> I guess that could be what is going on
10:40:06 <fizzie> Yes, it could be that.
10:40:24 <nortti> juhani@T20-slitaz$ cat /proc/5337/maps | grep -c rwx
10:40:37 <Vorpal> nortti, the conclusion is that calculating memory usage on Linux (or any modern OS) is utterly hard
10:41:50 <Vorpal> what... firefox has no [heap
10:42:22 <Vorpal> does firefox not use sbrk? And bypass glibc malloc?
10:42:40 <Vorpal> I would assume glibc performs some internal allocations using sbrk at least
10:42:50 <Vorpal> fizzie, go figure that out ^
10:43:39 <Vorpal> hm all the low address mappings are weird for firefox compared to other processes
10:43:41 <fizzie> I'm guessing something related to their portability layers, but I'm no FF developer.
10:43:54 <Vorpal> 00400000-004db000 r-xp 00000000 fc:00 3255 /bin/bash
10:44:06 <Vorpal> 7fc4c2a00000-7fc4c2c00000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0
10:44:32 <fizzie> I've got a couple usual ones in my Firefox process.
10:44:33 <fizzie> 00400000-00410000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 1194314 /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox
10:44:36 <Vorpal> in fact firefox itself:
10:44:37 <fizzie> 00610000-00611000 rw-p 00010000 fd:00 1194314 /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox
10:44:38 <Vorpal> 7fc4fd0ae000-7fc4fd0bf000 r-xp 00000000 fc:00 430071 /usr/lib/firefox/firefox
10:44:50 <Vorpal> fizzie, which version of firefox is that?
10:45:27 <fizzie> The about window says "Firefox ESR 10.0.6", I don't have a clue what that means.
10:45:51 <Deewiant> 00400000-00417000 r-xp 00000000 08:03 2914597 /usr/lib/firefox-beta/firefox
10:45:51 <fizzie> You can get a fancy memory allocation tree thing on Firefox with about:memory.
10:45:52 <Deewiant> 00616000-00617000 rw-p 00016000 08:03 2914597 /usr/lib/firefox-beta/firefox
10:46:50 <Deewiant> about:memory?verbose for more detail
10:47:34 <Vorpal> pressing the "minimize memory usage" button at the bottom made it 133 MB
10:48:00 <Vorpal> and loading that verbose version made it 146 MB
10:48:13 <Vorpal> and I only have 8 tabs open
10:48:20 <Vorpal> not very heavy pages either
10:48:31 <fizzie> Vorpal: The "heap-unclassified" memory is apparently called 'dark matter' by Firefox people.
10:48:32 <Vorpal> hm can I see if any addons uses a lot of memory?
10:48:40 <Vorpal> fizzie, dark matter eh?
10:48:52 <fizzie> I don't know, and maybe they don't either. :p
10:48:58 <Vorpal> and that is 32 MB approx
10:49:26 <fizzie> Things that don't have proper about:memory "reporters", apparently.
10:49:46 <fizzie> 77.40 MB (28.44%) -- heap-unclassified
10:49:58 <Vorpal> compartment([System Principal], 0x7fc4e9ff1000) uses the majority
10:50:33 <Vorpal> hm a post under that called gc-heap is 32 MB
10:51:08 <Vorpal> 31 MB when I closed all the other tabs
10:51:42 <Vorpal> I would like to know what "System Principal" is
10:52:50 <Vorpal> libxul (whatever that is) has a massive .text segment it seems
10:53:07 <Taneb> Is the a Haskell Platform for Haiku?
10:53:11 <fizzie> XUL is the user interface stuff Firefox uses.
10:53:47 <fizzie> XML User Interface Language.
10:54:08 <Taneb> Maybe the U stands for UI
10:54:31 <nortti> imho XUL suck. I am still bit angry at mozilla discotinuing gecko embedding
10:55:33 <fizzie> There are all kinds of "there is only XUL" jokes.
10:55:37 -!- copumpkin has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds).
10:55:52 <fizzie> XUL's XML namespace URI is http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul for example.
10:56:07 <Vorpal> hm it did list one of the addons in that memory list (noscript) but that was just 6 kb
10:56:09 -!- copumpkin has joined.
10:56:21 <nortti> > keymaster/gatekeeper
10:56:22 <lambdabot> Not in scope: `keymaster'Not in scope: `gatekeeper'
10:56:38 <Vorpal> oh wait, there are two entries for noscript, so ~300 KB
10:57:08 <Vorpal> yeah the total of the addon related stuff listed there is less than 5 MB
10:57:09 <fizzie> It says "There is no data. There is only XUL!" if you actually HTTP-fetch that.
10:59:05 <spirity> since when do x's make a z sound?
10:59:28 <fizzie> The pronunciation is also part of the joke.
10:59:59 <nortti> spirity: never watched ghostbusters?
11:00:02 <fizzie> It's a reference to the "There is no Dana, only Zuul" line.
11:00:13 <Vorpal> btw, mobile firefox is a joke on a phone with 1 GB RAM. It works. Barely
11:00:34 <Vorpal> but you end up with so much other stuff getting killed by the system so everything gets slow when switching apps
11:00:42 <nortti> Vorpal: wow. microb works on n810
11:00:51 <Taneb> spirity, never seen a xylophone?
11:01:12 <Vorpal> fizzie, what was "zuul"?
11:01:20 <nortti> Vorpal: or was it micro-b. the meamo browser based on gecko and hildon
11:01:36 <Vorpal> nortti, what is n810? I thought it was n900?
11:01:40 <Taneb> Musical instrument
11:01:46 <Taneb> Percussion-y keyboard-y
11:01:47 <fizzie> Vorpal: Those are the predecessor non-phone tablets.
11:01:51 <Taneb> You hit bits of metal with sticks
11:02:12 <nortti> Vorpal: nokia produced four maemo devices. 770, n800, n810 and n900
11:02:12 <fizzie> And Firefox itself seemed to work passably on the N900 (which has 256M of RAM) last I tried.
11:02:33 <Vorpal> fizzie, well, firefox used to work better on this laptop too
11:02:45 <Vorpal> I think modern firefox is more bloated than a few versions ago
11:04:29 <nortti> it especialy shows when you do same kind of switch like I did. (Bon Echo+patches -> TenFourFox 4) My computer was so much faster but browser was a bit _slower_
11:04:31 <fizzie> Deewiant: I read that at least thrice as "are we slime yet".
11:05:23 <nortti> TenFourFox 4=Firefox 4
11:05:39 <nortti> oh. I did that switch in 2011
11:07:34 <nortti> well actually the Bon Echo I used was based on Iceweasel 2 but the difference isn't that big
11:07:34 -!- MDude has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
11:07:44 -!- MDude has joined.
11:08:00 <Vorpal> Deewiant, what is that TP5?
11:08:08 <fizzie> Vorpal: It does have a FAQ button.
11:08:18 <fizzie> (It's 100 popular pages selected from Alexa top 500.)
11:08:44 <fizzie> (Scrubbed to be self-contained and so on.)
11:10:34 <Vorpal> "But if Firefox has freed all the memory it allocated during the test, why is it using more memory after the test? Our data shows that most of the difference is due to heap fragmentation. Before the test, all the objects on our heap are tightly packed. But after the test, our heap uses twice as much space for the same amount of storage, because the objects on the heap now have gaps between them." <-- so
11:10:34 <Vorpal> use a compacting GC...
11:13:47 <fizzie> "This is all well and good, but my Firefox still leaks like a sieve" is the best FAQ.
11:14:07 <Deewiant> It's also probably the most FAQ.
11:15:06 <Sgeo_> Silverfish are a thing that actually exists?
11:16:26 <Vorpal> firefox doesn't exactly leak I think... It just uses a lot of memory. The amount doesn't increase that much over time, only a bit
11:16:39 <itidus21> yes, but you can't get your omega 3 from them
11:16:57 <Vorpal> Sgeo_, yes but they are not fish as such
11:18:12 <itidus21> to the way fish is sold as a provider of omega 3
11:18:40 <Vorpal> took a look on what chrome on my desktop uses. 1.6 GB "private memory" (I'm booted to windows atm, I have no clue how the memory works under that)
11:19:27 <Vorpal> well 175 MB is what windows task manager claims in the private column
11:19:46 <itidus21> oh no, it's both 165mb and 1.6gb in a quantum superposition
11:19:59 <Vorpal> 1,633,060k is what chrome claims under chrome://memory-redirect (redirect? what?)
11:20:52 <Vorpal> I have about 30 tabs or so open. Some quite heavy pages
11:21:06 <itidus21> my advice is get comfortable with browser-refreshing, and deprioritizing open tabs.
11:21:30 <Vorpal> itidus21, anyway on my desktop even 1.6 GB would be a non-issue
11:21:38 <fizzie> This will redirect to “chrome://memory-redirect/”."
11:21:40 <itidus21> by browser refreshing i mean closing a browser, and opening it again
11:21:48 <Vorpal> fizzie, so does about:memory in chrome
11:21:52 <Vorpal> the issue is firefox on my laptop
11:22:14 <Vorpal> my desktop with 16 GB RAM... I just don't care if my browser is using a GB RAM or not
11:22:15 <itidus21> and by deprioritizing open tabs i mean, occasionally go through your tabs and close the unnecessary ones
11:22:57 <fizzie> Vorpal: Yeah, well, http://sprunge.us/hcYF
11:23:22 <Vorpal> total used free shared buffers cached
11:23:22 <Vorpal> Mem: 1838 1044 793 0 47 381
11:23:22 <Vorpal> -/+ buffers/cache: 615 1223
11:23:24 <fizzie> I once made a mistake of accidentally starting up MATLAB locally on this box. I barely lived to tell the tale.
11:23:45 <fizzie> Maybe I should just run the browser on some other computer too, really.
11:23:53 <nortti> Vorpal: well try these: Kazehakase, Amaya, xxxterm and http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2010/05/24/the-1-2kb-python-browser-script/
11:23:58 <Vorpal> wait, why do I have 2045 MB swap?
11:24:17 <fizzie> The box I run MATLAB at the moment has 48G of memory, I'm sure nobody would notice even a Firefox.
11:24:45 <Vorpal> /dev/sda2 193 205 98280 83 Linux
11:24:45 <Vorpal> Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
11:24:46 <fizzie> Admittedly it has 46G of those in use.
11:25:03 <Vorpal> and why is that important...
11:25:30 <Vorpal> 3 1680MB 3824MB 2144MB primary linux-swap(v1)
11:25:38 <Vorpal> that last MB number is the size
11:25:57 <Vorpal> is this a 1000 vs. 1024 thingy?
11:26:04 <itidus21> seems my firefox mem use is constantly creeping up nonstop
11:26:21 <Vorpal> itidus21, slowly or quickly?
11:26:36 <Vorpal> itidus21, use about:memory and the buttons at the bottom
11:26:51 <Vorpal> and that is one page at a time
11:27:22 <Vorpal> hm how do you setup a compiler toolchain to compile native android programs. Like command line tools...
11:27:46 <Deewiant> Vorpal: https://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html
11:28:02 <Vorpal> Deewiant, I thought that could only do *.so for JNI stuff?
11:31:04 <Vorpal> what was the name of that software that allowed you to connect to existing X11 sessions
11:31:12 <fizzie> I'm under the impression that http://source.android.com/ have a prebuilt toolchain, and in any case the source distribution should have everything necessary.
11:31:55 <fizzie> It may be somewhat more involved than just doing regular Android development or using the NDK.
11:31:56 <Vorpal> fizzie, I recently checked that out to find a specific stock icon... Wow did it take ages...
11:32:10 <Vorpal> 16 GB or something like that IIRC
11:32:18 <Vorpal> removed the source tree after I was done
11:33:02 <Vorpal> it claims it is 6 GB, I guess git is to blame for the extra bulk
11:33:30 <Vorpal> "For Gingerbread (2.3.x) and newer versions, including the master branch, a 64-bit environment is required. Older versions can be compiled on 32-bit systems." heh, why
11:33:47 <Vorpal> and you need the sun jdk specifically?
11:34:13 <kmc> Vorpal: look at $ndk_root/build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh
11:35:34 <Taneb> Okay, I accidentally installed a copy of Rome: Total War on my Haiku memory stick
11:36:16 <fizzie> Vorpal: Can you even run plain old regular native apps on those things?
11:36:35 <Vorpal> fizzie, from a shell? sure
11:36:52 <Vorpal> there are terminal emulators for it, and you can use adb shell from a computer to connect to it
11:37:29 <Vorpal> fizzie, it is by default a somewhat crippled environment. I installed busybox by doing cat /mnt/sdcard/busybox > /system/xbin/busybox because there was no cp
11:37:39 <nortti> but if you are coding native apps for android remember that bionic libc is broken
11:38:01 <Vorpal> nortti, well I just wanted to compile a few useful tools
11:38:12 <Vorpal> such as an scp, maybe a dropbox one or something
11:38:31 <nortti> Vorpal: you can try statical linking
11:38:47 <Vorpal> there is the dropbear ssh server
11:38:53 <Vorpal> don't know if it provides a client
11:39:04 <fizzie> Dropbear has a client too IIRC.
11:39:08 <Vorpal> I suspect openssh's scp would be painful to get to work
11:39:32 <nortti> I had ssh on this computer when I only had dropbear installed
11:39:37 <Taneb> Vorpal, the thingy I was writing the image doesn't like writing images, and prefers to write copies of CD's?
11:39:42 -!- copumpkin has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds).
11:40:07 <Taneb> The image writer copied the CD I had in onto the memory stick instead of the ISO
11:40:13 -!- copumpkin has joined.
11:41:15 <fizzie> I should probably install 'less' on the phone one day, it's so often I try to |less accidentally.
11:41:32 <nortti> doesn't android have more?
11:41:44 <fizzie> I don't know what Android has.
11:41:54 <fizzie> I have a 'more', but I often try 'less' instead.
11:42:18 <nortti> at least meamo has busybox
11:42:18 <Vorpal> I symlinked less to my copy of busybox of course
11:42:32 <Vorpal> which is busybox with mostly everything in it
11:42:47 <fizzie> Possibly my aversion to 'more' is leftover paranoia from a DOS box where MORE.COM rebooted the computer.
11:43:01 <fizzie> It was somehow broken.
11:43:05 <nortti> Vorpal: does installing busybox require rooting the phone
11:43:06 <Vorpal> anyway more is inferior to less
11:43:43 <Vorpal> nortti, no, but you need to put the executable somewhere that has proper permissions (so not fat32 sdcard...)
11:43:54 <Taneb> How do you get the CLI on an android?
11:44:05 <Vorpal> Taneb, adb shell on the computer? adb is a program from the SDK
11:44:20 <Vorpal> or you use an on-phone terminal emulator, there are a bunch of open source one on the market
11:44:37 <Vorpal> nortti, non-root adb shell does however not have write access to any such location!
11:44:43 <Taneb> You know, if your right hand is too far to the right when you type "Okay", you get "Play"
11:44:46 <Vorpal> so you use a terminal emulator on the phone
11:44:56 <Vorpal> and put busybox in the private app dir of that app
11:45:02 <Vorpal> and then make it world readable
11:45:13 <Vorpal> then you can use it from adb shell
11:45:49 <fizzie> There's a busybox in my VDSL2 modem (a GPL violation, in fact, I believe) that's really crappy. It's almost like they haven't designed it for shell use. (They haven't.)
11:45:53 <Vorpal> then I rooted my phone and just put it in the path instead
11:46:34 <Vorpal> Taneb, wait, which hand do you use for y?
11:46:45 <nortti> Vorpal: what terminal emulator should I use? where is the private app dir?
11:46:49 <Vorpal> Taneb, I use my right hand for that
11:46:57 <Vorpal> since it is on the right half of the keyboard
11:47:03 <Taneb> I never really learnt to type properly?
11:47:29 <Vorpal> nortti, well, I used the one called "Terminal Emulator" XD
11:48:07 <nortti> Vorpal: where is the app dir located?
11:48:22 <Vorpal> nortti, oh it is "Android Terminal Emulator" on google play
11:48:51 <Vorpal> nortti, and /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/
11:49:06 <Vorpal> nortti, for a different one the last bit will vary of course
11:49:17 <Vorpal> since that is the package name of the app
11:49:49 <nortti> I use sl4a or connectbot as my terminal emulator
11:49:54 <Vorpal> nortti, there is a dedicated "install busybox" app on the market too, haven't used it myself
11:50:04 <Vorpal> nortti, you could do the same for connectbot (which I also use, for ssh)
11:50:09 <Vorpal> just a different package name?
11:50:26 <Vorpal> let me check what it is, I have the code open in eclipse (wrote a patch for connectbot today)
11:50:51 <Vorpal> org.connectbot apparently
11:51:26 <Vorpal> nortti, does connectbot have sdcard access permissions though?
11:51:39 <Vorpal> well my copy does anyway
11:52:01 -!- Jafet has quit (Quit: Leaving.).
11:52:25 <Vorpal> nortti, I got my busybox copy from the S3 root toolkit files. Seemed easiest at the time
11:53:01 <Vorpal> most pointless HTML file ever: /opt/android-ndk-r8b/docs/OVERVIEW.html
11:53:10 <Vorpal> it is just a text file wrapped in <pre>
11:53:56 <Vorpal> there is no non-html version though
11:57:00 <mroman> Everything has to be html, don't you know that ;)
11:57:32 <mroman> OSses of the future are just a kernel and a browser .

11:58:44 <nortti> mroman: I'll build my OWN computer with µcontrollers!
11:58:45 <Vorpal> this won't work when invoked with a relative path I think
11:59:14 <Vorpal> nortti, wirebonding and TTL logic?
11:59:46 <Vorpal> that is the wrong word
11:59:48 <AnotherTest> (01:13:04 PM) fizzie: What, with C++? <- C++11 allows GC
12:00:02 <Vorpal> nortti, yes that is it
12:00:14 <Vorpal> AnotherTest, compacting GC?
12:01:01 <Vorpal> anyway I think you could include a GC in C/C++... The compiler has to embed type information though so you can know what is a pointer and what isn't
12:01:21 <Vorpal> and it would still be easy to break it by doing stuff many programs do but which isn't strictly conforming
12:01:41 <fizzie> People actually use that Boehm GC sometimes, I believe.
12:01:52 <fizzie> It's one of the conservative guesswork mostly-works ones.
12:02:38 <fizzie> "However C++11 adds a few restrictions to implementations so that some behavior that would prevent garbage collection to work is now disallowed. This includes in particular common ways to "hide" pointers from a possible garbage collector, like applying xor to it."
12:02:44 <AnotherTest> http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2011/n3242.pdf
12:02:44 <fizzie> Yeah, I recall they did something like that.
12:02:46 <Vorpal> fizzie, boehm gc is not compacting
12:02:52 <fizzie> Vorpal: I didn't say it was.
12:03:06 <fizzie> You just said "include a GC".
12:03:19 <Vorpal> fizzie, I meant a compacting one
12:03:23 <Vorpal> that is actually not slow
12:03:36 <Vorpal> I used boehm, it is slow
12:03:50 <Vorpal> old versions of cfunge supported it as an option
12:04:17 -!- monqy has joined.
12:04:27 <fizzie> A 1334-page PDF is the best response to a question like that.
12:05:22 <Vorpal> I'm however 99% sure that cfunge has no actual memory leaks. There are some stuff that will never shrink due to poor fingerprint design or the stuff being kept around in a pool for the future, but no actual leaks.
12:07:06 <AnotherTest> http://www2.research.att.com/~bs/C++0xFAQ.html#gc-abi
12:08:45 <Vorpal> " There are legitimate reasons to disguise pointers (e.g. the xor trick in exceptionally memory-constrained applications), but not as many as some programmers think. "
12:09:02 <Vorpal> and why would it help with memory-constrained applications
12:09:49 <fizzie> Vorpal: You can do a doubly-linked list with just one pointer.
12:10:11 <fizzie> Vorpal: Assuming you always know one of the neighbours, the one you're coming from.

12:11:05 <fizzie> It also means if you give someone a plain "Node*" they can't iterate in either direction, of course.
12:11:10 <fizzie> But them's the breaks.
12:11:36 <Vorpal> fizzie, kind of useful in some embedded systems I guess
12:12:01 <fizzie> I haven't seen it live, but it's quite often mentioned as an example in these discussions.

12:13:17 <Vorpal> nortti, you were putting busybox on your phone?
12:13:21 <Vorpal> nortti, how did that work out?
12:13:23 <fizzie> You can remove the pointer overhead by as much just by unrolling two (or more by unrolling a few more) list elements in a single node, anyway.
12:13:35 <fizzie> s/remove/lower/ or whatever.

12:21:14 <mroman> AnotherTest: You can generate fibonacci sequence by chaining ^^++[+[-
12:21:34 <mroman> blsq ) {2 3}{^^++[+[-}e!

12:23:50 <mroman> ^- 10th fibonacci number and so on.
12:24:55 <mroman> It calculates the sum of the list, appends to sum to the list, and removes the first element of the list.
12:26:51 <mroman> blsq ) 1{1.+}{^^.*81==1.-}w!
12:27:18 <mroman> increment it, duplicate, multiply, compare with the number
12:27:25 <AnotherTest> We could use that to generate the nth fibonacci number
12:27:43 <mroman> for(i=1;i*i != 81;i++)
12:27:56 <fizzie> Hey, no wonder this box is slow; a gigabyte of memory, and someone else has a full gnome desktop also running in a Xvnc on it.
12:28:06 <mroman> 1.- is the not, here :)
12:28:11 <mroman> although it's not really a not of course.
12:30:01 <Vorpal> <mroman> increment it, duplicate, multiply, compare with the number <-- that sounds like a slow square root implementation
12:30:24 <Vorpal> mroman, besides what will it do when the square root is not an integer?
12:30:38 <Vorpal> fizzie, talk to them about it?
12:31:02 <mroman> Stlang has a sqrt builtin, so Burlesque get's one too
12:31:22 <mroman> It's just not available *yet*.
12:31:33 <AnotherTest> mroman: if you can round, fibonacci would get really easy
12:31:38 <Vorpal> anyway how is sqrt normally done on real hardware?
12:31:43 <Vorpal> floating point sqrt that is
12:32:22 <mroman> The newton tangens thingy?
12:32:31 <Vorpal> I'm not familiar with that one
12:32:34 <fizzie> Vorpal: I don't know who it is.
12:32:53 <mroman> AnotherTest: round floats?
12:33:06 <fizzie> I mean, I know the user name of course, but I hardly know anyone here.
12:33:30 <mroman> The tails/replicate version works, but will get slower of course :)
12:33:49 <mroman> I'd need to add Floats first :)
12:34:08 <mroman> Gimme 10 minutes and it's done :D
12:34:24 <AnotherTest> also, could you make integers that can be larger
12:34:36 <mroman> I could switch to Integer
12:35:05 <AnotherTest> because ri^^{\/^^.+\/1.-}{}w!vv with 100000 gives me 0
12:37:29 <mroman> although certain haskell functions onyl take Int
12:37:42 <mroman> so If I use Integer I have to "downsize" it to Int for some functions
12:38:17 <Vorpal> mroman, or avoid those functions
12:38:30 <Vorpal> implementing replacements for them
12:39:39 <AnotherTest> mroman: I'm writing HELP (Handy esoteric language preprocessed) for blsq :D

13:24:27 <AnotherTest> mroman: eventually it should have much more than cpp
13:24:47 <mroman> using the closed fibonacci formula is not really practical on any physical machine :)
13:24:56 <mroman> it diverges pretty soon.
13:25:43 <mroman> cpus have limited precision.
13:26:21 <Vorpal> nortti, I'm going to work on getting various useful tools compiled for my phone. If you want copies once I get them working I will happily share if your ABI is compatible
13:26:33 <Vorpal> I'm going for ARMv7 with NEON here
13:27:07 <mroman> Would only push the problem a little bit further into the future ;)
13:27:12 <nortti> Vorpal: what processor you have them compiled to?
13:27:18 <mroman> Madoka-Kaname: Like gmp?
13:27:45 <mroman> gmp also only has a fixed precision afaik.
13:27:45 <Vorpal> nortti, Well I read the NDK docs now and it seems I want ARMv7 with NEON
13:27:54 <Vorpal> nortti, since my phone supports that
13:27:56 <mroman> you can initialize a float with 100000000000000 bit precision
13:28:02 <Vorpal> I don't think you can even target more specifically than that
13:28:06 <nortti> Vorpal: well my phone is ARMv6 ...
13:28:23 <Vorpal> nortti, ouch. You have to do your own compiling then (or find suitable versions)
13:28:55 <Vorpal> nortti, how old is it?
13:29:10 <nortti> I bought it new in spring 2011
13:29:18 <Vorpal> nortti, low end I presume?
13:29:37 <Vorpal> pretty sure that even the N900 has an ARMv7
13:29:40 <Vorpal> fizzie, is that right?
13:31:22 <nortti> I no longer use it as my main phone because after I accidentaly dropped it in sink full of water, disassembled it and let it dry it no longer recognises my SIM card
13:32:18 <Vorpal> nortti, so what is your main phone?
13:32:28 -!- edwardk has joined.
13:32:39 <Vorpal> fizzie, and how old is that model?
13:32:45 <Vorpal> oh and does it have NEON?
13:32:57 <nortti> Vorpal: some old Nokia phone I picked up at second hand shop for 8 euros
13:33:15 <fizzie> Vorpal: It does have NEON, and it's from about 2010 I suppose.
13:33:44 <Vorpal> nortti, yeah your phone was definitely low end :P
13:34:09 <Vorpal> nortti, no hardware fpu
13:34:24 <fizzie> It's the same OMAP3 platform model that's in e.g. Motorola Droid and Palm Pre, if you know those things.
13:34:25 <Vorpal> (or even if it has one, android ndk won't use it)
13:35:17 <Vorpal> note to self: mash the volume down button on the computer that the headphones are actually connected to next time
13:36:48 <Vorpal> okay, now to compile file(1)
13:37:07 <Vorpal> first step: finding the source
13:37:23 <nortti> Vorpal: try stealing the sash version. it is self contained
13:37:46 <Vorpal> nortti, any features lacking?
13:38:14 <nortti> Vorpal: well it has builtin database but nothing that I can tell
13:38:52 <nortti> also building sash can be good thing to do regardless. it is bit nicer than android toolbox
13:39:10 <Vorpal> nortti, I do have busybox on it, and I very much like busybox
13:39:19 <Vorpal> it is just that my busybox lacks file
13:39:50 <Vorpal> hm apt-get source file might work
13:40:40 <nortti> Vorpal: oh. I thought that you were installing busybox. sash has for example builtin gzip/gunzip, chmod, cp and tar
13:40:55 <Vorpal> nortti, no I installed busybox earlier with a prebuilt version of it
13:41:24 <Vorpal> but file is such a useful command when poking around :P
13:41:58 <Vorpal> yay, massive ubuntu patch from apt-get source
13:41:58 <nortti> actually my busybox on my main computer also lacks file
13:42:23 <nortti> file is just a shell script that invokes sash
13:42:24 <Vorpal> I'm not sure busybox even has file
13:42:51 <Vorpal> I want my GNU file (or whatever, is the usual file GNU?)

14:04:31 <Vorpal> nortti, unknown option. I guess I need to mess with CFLAGS and/or LDFLAGS
14:04:56 <nortti> Vorpal: are those arguments for configure?
14:04:56 <olsner> hmm, a way to list of dynamic libraries without ldd sounds useful... obviously the information is in there, in some section related to dynamic linking
14:05:14 <nortti> Vorpal: CFLAGS=--static
14:05:19 <Vorpal> nortti, and it is -static for gcc I'm pretty sure (as in, just one -)=

14:10:43 <itidus21> spirity: on the surface it's easy
14:11:17 <Vorpal> nortti, it expects to find the magic data under a specific place though, since that is how normal file works. I decided to go for putting all my custom stuff in /data/arvid, since I found it unlikely to collide with anything else
14:11:22 <spirity> unlike your mom, who is easy at all depths.
14:11:28 <Vorpal> so it is useless to you
14:11:47 <Vorpal> (for a start, different ABI, also your phone is not rooted, so you can't use that path)
14:11:58 <itidus21> there are a lot of appeals to nature, to genetics, to other things, to explain human desires
14:12:08 <Vorpal> I thought you said it wasn't
14:12:12 <nortti> I'll just compile my own cross compiler
14:12:20 <Vorpal> nortti, eh, android ndk includes it
14:12:25 <Vorpal> you just have to set it up
14:12:34 <nortti> Vorpal: how much disk space it requires?
14:12:36 <Vorpal> like run a script, export a few env variables
14:14:00 <Vorpal> nortti, 561 MB for the NDK itself (when uncompressed). The script then generates the standalone toolchain directory tree (98 MB), after that you can throw away the rest of the NDK. You also need a few basic bits of the SDK to push your files onto the device probably
14:14:18 <Vorpal> not sure how large those bits of the SDK are

14:15:41 <Vorpal> nortti, right you might want to save the docs directory from the NDK as well :P
14:15:54 <nortti> Vorpal: does it need usb connection to phone?
14:16:10 <Vorpal> nortti, well how else would you push files easily?
14:16:20 <Vorpal> I guess you could send them over some other way
14:16:40 <Vorpal> nortti, but no the NDK doesn't need it when compiling
14:16:45 <nortti> then I have a problem. I don't reliable usb port
14:17:01 <Vorpal> well, send it over however you want then
14:17:14 <Vorpal> and use whatever you use on the device for the shell :P
14:17:15 <nortti> only usb port on this machine sometimes refuses to work
14:17:43 <Vorpal> nortti, just be aware of that you need numeric modes for the standard chmod on android :P
14:17:49 <Vorpal> yes it is pretty terrible
14:18:24 <Vorpal> hm /sbin/ueventd is a symlink to /init
14:18:57 <Vorpal> hm what is ueventd, thought it was udev, but doesn't appear so
14:19:09 <itidus21> spirity: i suppose my confusion is to how an individual gains more benefits by reproducing and by providing riches and power to his/her offspring than he/she benefits by living in harmony

14:20:19 <itidus21> are we secretly required to help our own species compete and prosper against other species?
14:20:22 <Vorpal> nortti, that way you can do difference to existing
14:20:52 <Vorpal> nortti, like chmod -R g+r . to recursively add group read to a directory hierarchy
14:20:53 <itidus21> is our means of doing this to blow up earth? :D
14:21:09 <nortti> ok. I'll just install man

14:21:31 -!- monqy has left.
14:21:37 <Vorpal> or whatever your system calls that package
14:22:39 <nortti> well I already had them but I had to install retawq to use man
14:23:15 <Vorpal> nortti, wait are you still on netbsd?
14:23:22 <Vorpal> not sure the ndk will work on that
14:24:03 <nortti> Vorpal: netbsd was in my virtual machine
14:24:28 <Vorpal> okay so anyone knows how to do what ldd does without using ldd? Since ldd is not cross-platform
14:24:32 <Vorpal> I guess readelf can do it
14:24:38 <Vorpal> but I don't know which bit
14:25:53 <itidus21> basically what i mean is that it seems to me that what is a crime among individuals is often not against the goals of a species at large
14:26:47 <itidus21> that, stealing is just about being competitive with resources
14:27:45 <Vorpal> itidus21, google altruism
14:29:20 <spirity> Vorpal: I'm not sure if that was intended as a counterargument
14:30:25 <olsner> how to do what ldd does without using ldd? set the magic environment variable and run the program, then it will print the ldd output and exit instead of starting up
14:31:07 <Vorpal> spirity, rather than trying to outsmart the other individuals to get the most food or whatever for yourself, a /truly/ altruistic approach would be to share so that everyone gets enough to survive at least
14:31:54 <Taneb> I think I've broken my memory stick
14:31:58 <nortti> Vorpal: do I need to specify what android version to use?

14:32:23 <Vorpal> olsner, no it won't, because dynamic linker is stupid on target platform :P
14:32:40 <itidus21> i think where humanity is heading is to focus not on killing the excess, but having less babies, based on a change of priority to benefit those living humans rather than increasing their number
14:32:48 <Vorpal> olsner, android doesn't use ld.so, it uses a custom inferior one (/system/bin/linker)
14:32:57 <Vorpal> nortti, err the API version yes
14:33:10 <Vorpal> nortti, what does about device say for android version?
14:33:18 <Vorpal> I can convert it to the API version for you
14:33:23 <Taneb> Any ideas what http://imgur.com/M1RjT means?
14:34:21 <olsner> Taneb: that's what mount gives you when something is wrong, could mean anything
14:34:33 <Vorpal> nortti, $NDK/build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh --platform=android-8 --install-dir=/tmp/my-android-toolchain
14:34:52 <Vorpal> nortti, that should be the right one
14:35:00 <itidus21> we're at a point as a species that, in an emergency we could probably reach 50 billion humans in 10 years with appropriate use of laws and medical technology
14:35:16 <itidus21> we no longer need our obsession with sex
14:35:26 <Vorpal> nortti, and then move /tmp/my-android-toolchain to wheverever you want
14:35:28 <Taneb> olsner, can just format it?
14:35:30 <Vorpal> and read the rest of the document

14:36:17 <Vorpal> not all API versions have new NDK versions
14:36:45 <olsner> Taneb: fwiw, it's usually *not* a broken file system that's the cause
14:36:55 <Taneb> olsner, I wanted to format it anyway
14:37:06 -!- MoALTz has joined.
14:37:13 <olsner> ah, then formatting before trying to mount it is a good idea
14:37:25 <Vorpal> nortti, anyway, you might want to save a copy of docs/STANDALONE-TOOLCHAIN.html at least even if you delete the rest of the NDK
14:37:42 <Vorpal> maybe the entire docs/

14:40:52 <Vorpal> Taneb, did you not unplug and replug it after you messed up the partition table?
14:41:08 <Taneb> I've repeatedly unplugged and replugged it?

14:45:40 <Vorpal> what is your command line
14:45:54 <Vorpal> I don't think you specify --arch to it? Since it defaults to arm

14:46:24 <olsner> isn't that the script to *compile* a toolchain from scratch? the ndk already has a built toolchain you can use
14:46:39 <Vorpal> nortti, drop the sysroot stuff, that is for the alternative approach

14:48:17 -!- edwardk has joined.
14:48:17 <nortti> trying busybox instead of toybox
14:48:23 <Vorpal> nortti, that might help yes
14:49:05 <Vorpal> nortti, personally I used the full gnu thingy, I guess I could export one and upload it to dropbox for you if that doesn't work. Going to take a while though, my upload is rather slow
14:49:43 <nortti> Vorpal: are your binaries PIII compatible?
14:49:57 <Vorpal> nortti, well, the script forces 32-bit binaries
14:50:06 <Vorpal> as long as the NDK works on PIII then sure
14:50:43 <Taneb> How do I get on this memory stick
14:51:21 <Vorpal> 25 MB file to upload, *tries to recompress as xz*
14:52:37 <Deewiant> Using plain xz would probably end up being faster :-P
14:52:53 <Vorpal> and still smaller than bzip2
14:53:08 -!- pikhq_ has quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds).
14:53:10 <Deewiant> -9 only differs from -8 for files bigger than 32 megs anyway

14:53:38 <Vorpal> Deewiant, well the file is 96 MB :P
14:54:03 <Vorpal> ah 16 MB from plain xz
14:54:30 * Vorpal moves it to the dropbox directory
14:55:49 <Vorpal> Deewiant, anyway the default is -6 not -8
14:56:35 <Deewiant> Yes I know, I was just pointing out that -9 is uselessly much anyway
14:56:42 <Deewiant> Although of course it's easier to just use -9 always
14:57:05 <Vorpal> Deewiant, -e increases the work on the uncompressing side, no?
14:57:29 <Deewiant> Unless it compresses worse, of course
14:57:39 <Vorpal> does higher number mean more memory when uncompressing then?
14:57:51 <Vorpal> guess -6 is good for nortti then :P
14:57:59 <Vorpal> what with his low spec machine
14:58:24 <nortti> Vorpal: your phone is probably more powerful
14:58:35 <Vorpal> nortti, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/87474461/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6.tar.xz
14:58:48 <Vorpal> nortti, yes, quad core 1.4 GHz ARMv7 with NEON :P
14:58:55 <Vorpal> it has more cores than my laptop
14:59:06 <Vorpal> (Core 2 Duo @ 2.26 GHz)
14:59:20 <nortti> yeah. my computer is single core 700 MHz Pentium III
14:59:39 <Vorpal> nortti, still my desktop beats both: Quad core Core i7 (Sandy Bridge) at 3.4 GHz
14:59:55 <Vorpal> that has hyperthreading too
15:00:09 <Vorpal> so 8 logical cores, 4 real ones
15:00:32 <nortti> ok. well I'm moving to 500MHz g3 with 640MB of RAM in few weeks
15:00:34 <Vorpal> nortti, anyway tell me when you finished downloading, I want to delete that file when I'm done
15:00:52 <Vorpal> nortti, why would you use a G3?
15:01:15 <Vorpal> nortti, not going to drop your current machine I hope
15:01:39 <nortti> my current machine has 64MB of RAM
15:01:50 <Vorpal> no hope of android programming on PPC I'm afraid, without making your own toolchain from scratch
15:02:09 <Vorpal> don't think the SDK for java supports that either
15:02:34 <Vorpal> nortti, why did you ever get an android phone then? ;P
15:02:48 <nortti> because other choice was nokia
15:04:18 <nortti> the symbian that the last nokia symbian phones used was large improvement over symbian s60
15:04:47 <Vorpal> nortti, you might need to download new config.sub or config.guess for autotools projects, if they complain about androideabi being an unknown system
15:05:06 <Vorpal> I used --host=arm-linux-androideabi to ./configure
15:06:00 <Vorpal> also set --prefix to wherever you intend to put the stuff on the phone, then use DESTDIR=some/path/here make install
15:06:10 <Vorpal> so you don't try to install to that absolute path
15:08:03 <nortti> where configure is located?
15:08:27 <nortti> oh. you're talking about busybox
15:08:57 <Vorpal> nortti, no about ./configure style projects
15:09:08 <Vorpal> busybox uses a different system
15:09:15 <Vorpal> basically like the kernel config

15:18:07 <Vorpal> of course it will take time to parse them
15:18:33 <Vorpal> AnotherTest, you can't write a lexer which magically skips comments!
15:18:51 <nortti> include/libbb.h:256:7: error: size of array 'BUG_off_t_size_is_misdetected' is negative
15:18:52 <AnotherTest> Vorpal: they're preprocessed out long before execution
15:19:02 <Vorpal> AnotherTest, right, you didn't specify at which stage
15:19:10 <Vorpal> nortti, what are you trying to compile?
15:19:15 <AnotherTest> Vorpal: currently you would have to pop a value from the stack
15:19:27 <Vorpal> nortti, oh I'm configuring it atm. Spending ages in menuconfig for it XD
15:19:31 <AnotherTest> Vorpal: but you're right, I should have mentioned that
15:19:34 <Vorpal> (yeah I'm that sort of person)
15:20:02 <nortti> Vorpal: make defconfig
15:20:31 <Vorpal> nortti, default config? Too boring
15:20:40 <Vorpal> besides some of these options look bad on android
15:20:44 <Vorpal> since there is no /var
15:20:53 <Vorpal> you obviously can't do stuff that requires that
15:25:16 <Vorpal> nortti, well on my phone the answer is yes
15:25:26 <Vorpal> check if you have /dev/pts (and something in that) on your own phone
15:25:51 <Vorpal> nortti, also avoid the suid stuff, especially if you aren't rooted, you are not going to have /etc/busybox.conf in any case
15:26:18 <AnotherTest> mroman: 1) would you be able to make an online shell (I could maybe do it if you don't want to) 2) haskeline is not part of haskell-platform
15:26:28 <Vorpal> also Build options, set the sysroot and so on (/opt/android-ndk-standalone/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/sysroot for me)
15:26:34 <nortti> Path to BusyBox executable (BUSYBOX_EXEC_PATH) [/proc/self/exe] ?
15:26:43 <Vorpal> nortti, sure, that is standard linux behaviour
15:28:43 <AnotherTest> mroman: never mind 2, I installed libghc6-haskeline-dev
15:28:50 <Vorpal> nortti, hm? where is that?
15:29:11 <Vorpal> anyway, I like how the config tool warns you that enabling a specific feature will use ~60 bytes more
15:29:45 <nortti> BusyBox installation prefix (PREFIX) [./_install]
15:30:29 <Vorpal> anyway I can't find the applet selection list
15:31:26 <Vorpal> that wasn't the top menu XD
15:31:40 <nortti> Use termios to manipulate the screen (FEATURE_USE_TERMIOS) [Y/n/?]
15:32:08 <Vorpal> no idea, I'm jumping around in menu config, not using plain config
15:32:24 <Vorpal> probably should be enabled
15:32:36 <Vorpal> at least after reading the help for it
15:34:44 <nortti> why is patch under editors?
15:34:55 <Vorpal> I haven't gotten that far yet

18:01:22 <fizzie> Link-time typechecking is what would be fancy. Does that happen yet?
18:02:18 <elliott_> fizzie: As a replacement for, or in addition to, the normal kind?
18:03:48 <fizzie> In addition to. The sort of thing that would catch if you have "int f(void); f();" in one translation unit (a term so old-fashioned-sounding) and "int f(int x) { return x; }" in another.
18:04:41 <fizzie> Sounds like something at least LLVM-style "compile to LLVM intermediate bytecode and then do whatevers at link-time" would catch.
18:05:41 <elliott_> fizzie: Right. That essentially amounts to a header file checker in practice, surely? And you usually include them in such a way that it'd get caught anyway.
18:06:08 <Vorpal> elliott_, what if you forgot to put static in front of some local functions?

18:07:01 <fizzie> Header files, schmeader files. I just heard about some dude who just declares external functions only inside functions using them, because that's "data hiding".
18:08:05 <fizzie> Possibly it was a comp.lang.c thread, I don't think I could re-find it.
18:08:20 <fizzie> It wasn't "just" just.
18:09:03 <olsner> as long as everything uses the wrong data, the real data is indeed hidden
18:13:25 <olsner> does C let you declare external functions inside functions? istr that's a c++ feature
18:13:51 <fizzie> I'm pretty sure you can in C too.

19:51:49 <mroman> A language where every program IS an equation.

19:52:48 <mroman> print x==5 prints iff if it prints 5
19:54:27 <Vorpal> <Taneb> Hence x is infinity? <-- or -inf?
19:54:37 <Taneb> It's infinite either way
19:55:22 <Vorpal> anyway pascal uses := for assignment, I don't remember what it uses for equals

19:56:57 <Vorpal> I would like to see a realistic post-nuclear war game. Not like fallout with it's mutants. But what it would actually be like
19:57:15 <Taneb> Vorpal, like that Raymond Briggs "comic"?
19:57:23 <Vorpal> Taneb, I don't know, what is that?
19:57:29 <Taneb> When the wind blows
19:57:42 <Taneb> It's about an elderly couple in a nuclear war
19:57:42 <mroman> It means to slip somebody something
19:57:46 <mroman> or something like that.
19:57:49 <Taneb> They die of radiation poisoning
19:58:19 <Vorpal> Taneb, hm, well I was thinking set maybe 200 years after a nuclear war, people coming out of bunkers and so on.

19:58:42 <Taneb> Vorpal, they do come out of bunkers, just after a weekend
19:58:50 <Vorpal> Taneb, that sounds like too early
19:58:57 <Taneb> Yeah, hence why they die

19:59:06 <Taneb> Raymond Briggs is not a happy man
19:59:06 <Vorpal> Taneb, right, so not very interesting
19:59:16 <Vorpal> Taneb, would plants have reclaimed the affected areas after a couple of hundred years? Or would it all be dead dead dead?
19:59:22 <Taneb> He also wrote the Snowman
19:59:23 <mroman> Or if I go to the market and the clerk charges me a tomato which I didn't buy
19:59:33 <Vorpal> Taneb, no clue what that work of fiction is either
19:59:38 <mroman> leo.org didn't have a translation.
19:59:45 <Taneb> Ask Phantom_Hoover
19:59:53 <Taneb> I've never actually seen or read it
20:00:35 <Phantom_Hoover> I've never read the Snowman nor do I know anything of Briggs beyond the name.
20:01:08 <Vorpal> well the point remains, what would actually have happened in a situation like that of Fallout. You wouldn't have mutant two-headed cows for sure...
20:01:28 <Phantom_Hoover> As far as realistic postnuclear stuff goes, there's always Threads if you're sure you have no suicidal tendencies.
20:02:02 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, well, I would like a video game made about a realistic postnuclear setting.
20:02:03 <Phantom_Hoover> Also the unrealistic nature of Fallout comes straight from the retrofuturistic 50s style.
20:02:11 <Vorpal> and yes I'm quite happy to be alive
20:02:16 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, indeed it does
20:02:42 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, is Threads a book or something found online or what?
20:02:42 <Phantom_Hoover> Although FWIW most of the mutants you see are actually the result of genetic engineering.
20:03:11 <Vorpal> google videos? Is that still around? You mean youtube right?
20:03:17 <Vorpal> or do you mean their video store?
20:03:24 <Vorpal> I don't think that is available in Sweden
20:04:07 <Vorpal> google videos seems to be a video search engine nowdays...?
20:05:22 <Vorpal> ah it is in the process of being shutdown, and Threads seems to be on youtube

20:09:05 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, okay I read the plot summary on Wikipedia, ouch
20:09:15 <Vorpal> yeah I see what you mean about suicidal tendencies
20:09:26 <Phantom_Hoover> They're just not as often used, largely because YouTube has a better service.
20:09:28 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, anyway what I'm more interested in is the more long term effects

20:09:56 <Taneb> Phantom_Hoover, the Snowman is where "I'm walking through the air" comes from, iirc
20:10:13 <Phantom_Hoover> Yeah Vimeo seems to attract artsy people a lot for some reason.
20:10:26 <Phantom_Hoover> Taneb, ohhh, I thought you were talking about some post-apocalyptic thing.
20:11:00 <Phantom_Hoover> Vorpal, again, nothing I know of for games; A Canticle for Leibowitz is a book that fits that description.
20:11:02 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, oh and blip.tv?
20:12:18 <Phantom_Hoover> Viddler's used a lot for Let's Plays, possibly because it allows longer videos so you don't have to segment as aggressively.
20:12:31 <Taneb> Nah, that's When The Wind Blows
20:12:51 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, My impression is that people who do movie reviews on youtube but get screwed over by copyright infringement due to showing a 10 second clip move it to blip.tv
20:13:02 <Vorpal> the sample size is rather small for that impression though
20:13:27 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, and youtube allows multi-hour videos since a year or two
20:14:19 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, oh I thought it did that nowdays?
20:14:24 <Vorpal> what sort of account then?
20:14:47 <Phantom_Hoover> Well I dunno, but I've heard repeated references to people wanting to get some kind of upgrade to upload longer videos.
20:15:27 <Phantom_Hoover> http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=71673
20:20:08 <itidus21> much more entertaining than the 8bit game generation itself was
20:22:03 <Phantom_Hoover> The good ones, where the game is accompanied by insightful commentaries are fun; the ones that consist of someone playing through and waffling are not.
20:22:17 <kmc> itidus21: youtube is far from a monopoly
20:22:23 <kmc> once again you have no idea what you're talking about
20:23:05 <Vorpal> <Phantom_Hoover> BtW which Fallout games have you played? <-- 3 and new vegas, haven't finished either, NV was better than 3 by far. Should get around to play some of the original ones
20:23:08 <kmc> it probably has a majority market share, but far from 100%
20:23:12 <elliott_> well YouTube is probably not a monopoly in the direct sense
20:23:13 <itidus21> thats my good deed for the day
20:23:22 <elliott_> kmc: Microsoft didn't have 100% either and they were/(are?) considered a monopoly
20:23:30 <elliott_> 100% is basically never going to happen
20:23:53 <Phantom_Hoover> The BBC had a monopoly on broadcasting in the UK, for instance.
20:24:22 <Phantom_Hoover> And there are any number of other infrastructural monopolies where the cost of setting up make competition very thin on the ground.
20:24:30 <elliott_> <Phantom_Hoover> The BBC had a monopoly on broadcasting in the UK, for instance.
20:24:38 <elliott_> Well OK but government-sanctioned monopolies don't really count :P
20:24:39 <Vorpal> Systembolaget has a monopoly for selling alcoholic drinks in Sweden (for drinks above a certain strength that is)
20:24:44 <elliott_> Infrastructure is a fair point, though.
20:27:52 <zzo38> What is having a monopoly? BBC/something else?
20:27:55 <shachaf> 100% market share just depends on how you define the market!

21:40:57 <olsner> nortti_: probably, but it's hardly useful for anything :)

21:41:06 <itidus21> zzo38: it would help more if there was a law that they had to upgrade their old keyboards
21:41:52 <zzo38> I do know countermeasures against many of these things. To prevent a USB memory from sending keyboard/mouse command without your permission, you can fix the kernel to not accept a USB keyboard/mouse if there already is one connected.
21:42:06 <zzo38> (And that includes PS/2 keyboard/mouse too)
21:43:04 <itidus21> at some level your data isn't the most private thing, but rather, the identity of the user of the data
21:43:09 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
21:43:09 <zzo38> For the keyboard break under warranty, well, if you suspect that then open it to fix it by yourself, or break it into too many pieces, or something

21:45:55 <itidus21> i suppose i must assume that my biometric data gets collected whenever i sign a form using a stylus
21:46:19 <zzo38> If there is such a law you have to upgrade, then destroy your old one and build a new one yourself
21:46:39 <zzo38> itidus21: Well, it is possible, but it may or may not be true. Or maybe true in some cases only.
21:47:17 <itidus21> it could make signatures more reliable anyway
21:49:09 <itidus21> in any case its more and more common to sign via stylus
21:49:34 <zzo38> Yes it could make it more reliable.
21:49:53 -!- epicmonkey has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
21:50:49 <zzo38> But I still sign by my pens and use extra dots and shapes and so on so that I can claim I was threatened to sign it and put those dots there to warn you, or whatever
21:51:45 <itidus21> my signature tends to be just a scribble.. lacking real consistency..
21:51:53 <elliott__> zzo38: that argument seems somehow unconvincing
21:52:01 <itidus21> so i depend on the biometrics for it to have any meaning at all
21:53:00 <spirity> zzo38: the only way that would remotely have a chance of working is if it differs significantly from your normal signature.
21:53:20 -!- pikhq_ has joined.
21:53:28 <spirity> however, if you always do that, it means it will look the same as all the other signatures
21:53:29 <itidus21> this always happens when zzo38 and itidus21 chat :P
21:53:31 <zzo38> I sign things in Japanese usually
21:54:03 -!- pikhq has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds).
21:56:21 <zzo38> Both English and Japanese often
21:56:32 <spirity> yesod is very overbearing.
21:56:43 <zzo38> When I am under threat I will omit the Japanese
21:56:46 <spirity> want to do something differently from the default? GOOD LUCK.
21:59:51 <mroman> Who says you didn't just omit the Japanese to sneak your way out?
22:00:44 -!- boily has quit (Quit: WeeChat 0.3.8).
22:00:52 <mroman> The key is to have a specific signature for every contract.
22:01:04 <mroman> That also prevents somebody from faking your signature
22:01:13 <mroman> because he doesn't know what your next signature looks like
22:01:27 <zzo38> Yes that is what I put the dots I explained for
22:01:36 <elliott__> `addquote <zzo38> But I still sign by my pens and use extra dots and shapes and so on so that I can claim I was threatened to sign it and put those dots there to warn you, or whatever
22:01:39 <HackEgo> 853) <zzo38> But I still sign by my pens and use extra dots and shapes and so on so that I can claim I was threatened to sign it and put those dots there to warn you, or whatever
22:01:44 <mroman> The problem is, that probably doesn't hold in court :D
22:02:26 <zzo38> Yes, I know, but it is worth a try if there is some kind of threat
22:02:56 <elliott__> zzo38: how often are you threatened to sign things
22:03:06 <mroman> You don't have to fullfil the contract.
22:03:13 -!- kallisti has quit (Quit: leaving).
22:03:19 <mroman> They can't prove that it is your signature if they have nothing to compare it.

22:11:17 <mroman> @tell AnotherTest Do you have the source of HELP online available somewhere?
22:11:29 <lambdabot> kallisti: You have 1 new message. '/msg lambdabot @messages' to read it.
22:12:07 <elliott__> spirity is a better nick than kallisti btw
22:13:30 <kallisti> but I'll probably change it soon
22:14:23 <nortti_> kallisti: btw is there anything new at spirity.org?
22:14:57 <kallisti> nortti_: I have a completely empty gitweb page for privately hosted git repos.
22:15:43 <kallisti> eventually there will be a tabletop game frontend for IRC-based tabletop gaming.

22:18:33 <kallisti> but a dedicated server allows me to do other things. might as well save so money by hosting my own.
22:18:53 <elliott__> if you take that perspective: have fun configuring qmail/postfix/...
22:19:27 <kallisti> it.... forwards specific addresses to gmail.
22:19:53 <kallisti> but yes postfix is weird to configure.
22:20:32 <elliott__> http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/pricing.html
22:20:58 <elliott__> there are some annoying issues with google apps accounts sometimes getting older version of google products or not being able to use google+ and stuff i think though, so you'll want to keep a gmail account lying around
22:21:25 * kallisti currently has something like 6 email addresses, for absolutely no good reason.
22:21:32 <ion> You can use G+ nowadays, but i don’t think you can use Youtube yet.
22:21:46 <kallisti> ideally I wouldn't use gmail at all
22:22:05 <kallisti> as part of my "prepare for incoming google takeover of the world" plan.
22:22:29 <elliott__> hmm, I wonder if free google apps gives you less space than gmail
22:22:43 <elliott__> but gmail is 10271.676317 gigs-and-counting-at-a-stupidly-slow-rate-by-now
22:23:03 <kallisti> nortti_: I don't like the stance Google has taken since their privacy policy change.
22:23:35 <nortti_> 10 gigs? Wasn't it 5 gigs just recently
22:23:43 <kallisti> which is partially why I stopped using chrome in favor of firefox.
22:23:59 <kallisti> but I still have a google account fo gmail and youtube..
22:24:06 <nortti_> kallisti: what other email addresses you have?
22:24:37 <elliott__> kallisti: it is a bit pointless to take a stand on chrome since all its options to talk to google are disableable
22:24:52 <elliott__> and it is also open source (well, chromium, but same thing)
22:25:02 <kallisti> elliott__: that's probably true, but then I started liking firefox so it worked out regardless.
22:25:16 <Sgeo__> elliott__, does that include disabling autoupdates?
22:25:32 <nortti_> elliott__: how is firefox awful? well XUL but what else?
22:25:48 <elliott__> Sgeo__: chromium doesn't autoupdate
22:25:54 <kallisti> I won't attempt to argue that firefox is /better/ at /everything/, but it has some things going for it. chrome has some things going for it as well (particularly it's a bit faster with V8 and all)
22:27:01 <nortti_> I stay at my far away corner with links2, netsurf and hv3
22:27:24 <kallisti> for example, firefox has privacy extensions that aren't offered on google yet.
22:27:55 -!- copumpkin has joined.
22:27:57 <nortti_> also plugin achitecture was better on ff last tine I checked
22:28:09 * kallisti has 3 different extensions for blocking advertising agency trackers.
22:28:44 <nortti_> but also firefox was in version 11 last time I checked
22:28:52 <kallisti> it's fun to see how many marketing agencies are attempting to monitor your internet usage.
22:29:02 <nortti_> what version is it on now by the way?
22:29:38 <kallisti> the version number is completely arbitrary. as of late they've started increment the major version almost every month.
22:29:53 <fizzie> It's once every six weeks.
22:29:56 -!- david_werecat has joined.
22:29:59 <fizzie> They have a policy about it.
22:30:51 <fizzie> Also there's some kind of a rolling scheme thing with the n+1, n+2 and maybe even n+3 (where n is current stable) having different terms for them, though I've forgotten about that. So they probably have a Firefox 17 build already existing.
22:34:37 <fizzie> https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar has a calendar, and it indeed was so that Firefox 17 is "central" now (while 16 is "aurora" and 15 is "beta"). They'll hit stable 18 (and "central" 21) at around the year's end.
22:36:11 <fizzie> (And three digits in less than a decade.)
