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
03:26:53 <Sgeo_> Different thing
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.
03:27:58 <oerjan> ok
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

05:35:18 <spirity> so
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?
05:36:45 <spirity> s/salt/sodium/
05:39:30 <pikhq> spirity: I guess? Salt is essential for the survival of animals, but not in large quantities, so...
05:45:38 <spirity> seems to be the case.
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.

05:57:59 -!- pikhq has quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds).
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.
06:01:55 <spirity> pikhq_: which
06:01:58 <pikhq_> MLP
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.
06:03:33 <spirity> like soups and such.
06:04:00 * spirity enjoys spicey foods.
06:05:37 * pikhq_ concurs
06:08:02 -!- Vorpal has joined.
06:12:37 <spirity> so I just noticed
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.
06:15:44 <pikhq_> True.
06:15:58 <pikhq_> That's kinda the only distinctive property it has.
06:16:06 <pikhq_> (cuisine-wise)
06:17:51 <spirity> yep
06:18:05 <spirity> pizza? sure. but it could use some pineapples you know.
06:18:09 * spirity american logic.
06:19:13 <pikhq_> Quite right.
06:19:18 <pikhq_> And extra cheese.
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?
06:20:08 <pikhq_> Though it's Canadian, I agree.
06:20:15 <pikhq_> Sgeo_: You will confuse yourself greatly.

06:22:08 <spirity> oh. okay.
06:22:16 <spirity> that makes perfect sense actually
06:22:21 <spirity> americans would never do that to food.
06:22:28 <pikhq_> Nah, we totally would.
06:22:42 <spirity> well, maybe.
06:22:45 <pikhq_> 'Cept with more cheese.
06:22:48 <spirity> but we wouldn't make an internet show about it
06:22:55 <spirity> we'd just eat it and move on with our lives
06:23:10 <pikhq_> Yeah, we'd make a restaurant instead.

08:56:01 <Vorpal> fuck ant
08:59:37 <spirity> yes
09:00:45 <Vorpal> I have no option though, existing project for which I'm writing a small patch. Also Android SDK...
09:01:19 <mroman> AnotherTest: No problem ;)
09:01:33 <mroman> (but you need to pull from the repos. Since I added some functions)
09:01:45 <mroman> also... you can no go into shell mode by calling the binary with --shell
09:01:49 <mroman> *now
09:04:54 <AnotherTest> I think I made something that calculates the Fibonacci sequence
09:05:02 <AnotherTest> but I'll test it first
09:11:37 <AnotherTest> it doesn't
09:12:04 -!- derdon has joined.
09:15:11 <Vorpal> mroman, what is it you are working on?
09:17:49 <mroman> Vorpal: http://esolangs.org/wiki/Burlesque
09:17:59 <mroman> or... if you prefer a satiric website about it
09:18:10 <mroman> http://mroman.ch/burlesque/index.html
09:20:39 <AnotherTest> mroman: I made something which, for a number n, n * 2^n
09:20:50 <AnotherTest> Not exactly the intention :p
09:21:39 <AnotherTest> ri^^{\/^^.+\/1.-}{}w!vv
09:23:30 <mroman> But it does n * 2^n :)
09:23:58 <AnotherTest> Indeed
09:26:55 <AnotherTest> I added it to the examples
09:27:49 <AnotherTest> I'll do a decent Fibonacci later :p
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
09:31:18 <AnotherTest> "obfuscated n*n^2" then
09:31:31 <mroman> But good example for using while, thx.
09:32:04 <mroman> 10^^2\/**.*
09:34:36 <mroman> I guess the biggest issue for fibonacci is, that Burlesque has no explicit recursion :)
09:48:16 <mroman> Vorpal: Graphical or Text?
09:49:32 <mroman> Vorpal: http://www.netsurf-browser.org/
09:49:43 <mroman> Small as a mouse, fast as a cheetah!
09:49:59 <Vorpal> mroman, graphical
09:50:01 <mroman> And note that cheetah sounds like cheater in some dialects ;)
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
09:50:23 <mroman> Vorpal: Ok
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
09:51:16 <nortti> hmm..
09:51:21 <Vorpal> 10.04 LTS
09:51:34 <nortti> how is that computer slow/old?
09:51:35 <mroman> http://twotoasts.de/index.php/midori/ then?
09:51:42 <mroman> It uses WebKit so...
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
09:52:02 <Vorpal> which is not fun
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
09:52:43 <nortti> Vorpal: kazehakase?
09:52:47 <Vorpal> nortti, what?
09:52:57 <nortti> Vorpal: kazehakase

09:53:57 <nortti> Vorpal: it is directly available from ubuntu repo

09:54:31 <nortti> hmm
09:54:37 <Vorpal> yes I need to update to the new ubuntu release soon
09:54:44 <Vorpal> but eh, I'm going xubuntu then I think
09:54:56 <nortti> why not lubuntu?
09:55:02 <Vorpal> LXDE?
09:55:07 <Vorpal> maybe I'll give that a try
09:55:07 <nortti> yes
09:55:12 <Vorpal> never used LXDE
09:55:23 <Vorpal> but I'm quite fond of Gnome 2, and xfce is almost as good
09:55:30 <nortti> http://kazehakasa.sourceforge.jp
09:55:35 <Vorpal> right
09:56:59 <nortti> oh. Line Mode Browser is still developed
09:57:06 <Vorpal> hm?
09:57:09 <Vorpal> what is that
09:58:00 <nortti> kinda like old lynx fused with ed
09:58:11 <nortti> second web browser ever developed
09:58:51 <Vorpal> hm
10:00:15 <nortti> also Amaya seems to be pretty light (w3c testbed browser)
10:01:39 <Vorpal> hm
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
10:11:20 <Vorpal> heh
10:11:49 <Vorpal> feature-wise it seems pretty limited though
10:11:55 <nortti> yeah
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
10:12:25 <nortti> why?
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
10:12:44 <nortti> wow. so much?
10:12:55 <Vorpal> nortti, with a few tabs open yes
10:13:01 <nortti> wow
10:13:12 <Vorpal> few tabs = 10 or so
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
10:15:59 <Vorpal> not really fair
10:16:04 <Vorpal> chrome embeds webkit after all
10:16:18 <nortti> btw how can I measure memory use of program under linux
10:17:10 <nortti> Vorpal: or xxxterm
10:17:16 <Vorpal> what is that
10:17:29 <Vorpal> <nortti> btw how can I measure memory use of program under linux <-- I would use htop?
10:17:32 <Vorpal> or ps
10:17:36 <Vorpal> or top
10:17:40 <nortti> xxterm is webbrowser
10:17:42 <Vorpal> ah
10:17:49 <nortti> *xxxterm
10:18:14 <nortti> Vorpal: I mean in megabytes. htop only show percentages
10:18:30 <Vorpal> nortti, no?
10:18:36 <Vorpal> RES, VIRT and SHR
10:18:55 <nortti> what do they mean?
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
10:19:56 <nortti> kbytes
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
10:23:20 * Madoka-Kaname hugs nortti
10:23:31 <nortti> Madoka-Kaname: why?
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
10:23:43 <Madoka-Kaname> Because I like hugs.
10:23:47 <Vorpal> probably both
10:23:49 <nortti> Vorpal: what does RES mean?
10:23:52 <Vorpal> nortti, resident
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).
10:25:43 <Vorpal> not sure about htop
10:26:11 <Vorpal> but yeah, the virtual size will include pages you allocated but never touched
10:26:14 <Vorpal> which is common
10:26:26 <Vorpal> your libc is going to do that for pooling purposes
10:26:43 <Vorpal> the top man page:
10:26:45 <Vorpal> q: RES -- Resident size (kb)
10:26:45 <Vorpal> The non-swapped physical memory a task has used.
10:27:00 <Vorpal> also hm:
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> VIRT = SWAP + RES.
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
10:27:24 <nortti> hmm..
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
10:29:27 <Vorpal> err
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
10:29:30 <Vorpal> there
10:29:34 <Vorpal> from top
10:29:36 <nortti> wow
10:29:51 <Vorpal> however, that SWAP includes stuff not actually swapped out
10:29:58 <nortti> what?
10:30:02 <Vorpal> because my total swap usage is 214 MB
10:30:12 <Vorpal> according to free -m
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/
10:31:26 <Vorpal> now you know that
10:31:31 <nortti> ok
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
10:32:33 <Vorpal> 752
10:32:35 <Vorpal> that is firefox
10:32:36 <Vorpal> lol
10:32:44 <Vorpal> a /LOT/ of mmaped stuff
10:33:14 <Vorpal> lets filter out ro mappings
10:34:04 <Vorpal> hrrm
10:34:28 <Taneb> itidus21, quite possibly!
10:34:47 <nortti> juhani@T20-slitaz$ cat /proc/5337/maps | wc -l
10:34:47 <nortti> 42
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
10:34:55 <nortti> that is links
10:34:55 <fizzie> 869
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
10:35:36 <nortti> 126
10:35:41 <nortti> that is hv3
10:35:42 <Vorpal> a private mapping with no permissions
10:35:42 <Vorpal> why
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.
10:37:00 <Vorpal> fizzie, right
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 <Vorpal> 238
10:37:26 <fizzie> That one for example is a bit big.
10:37:43 <fizzie> (For a guard page, I mean.)
10:37:52 <Vorpal> what size is it
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?
10:38:11 <Vorpal> oh right
10:38:28 <nortti> with my os I'm going to have this syscall: therealgoddamnedmemoryuse(PID)
10:38:33 <fizzie> Or maybe not.
10:38:39 <fizzie> It just seemd to be in the right ballpark.
10:38:45 <Vorpal> fizzie, so 24 pages?
10:38:48 <Vorpal> hm
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
10:39:13 <fizzie> For files.
10:39:16 <Vorpal> oh okay
10:39:22 <Vorpal> so not the size then
10:39:25 <fizzie> Right.
10:39:40 <fizzie> ~ cat /proc/737/maps | grep -c rwx
10:39:40 <fizzie> 76
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.
10:40:23 <nortti> with links:
10:40:24 <nortti> juhani@T20-slitaz$ cat /proc/5337/maps | grep -c rwx
10:40:24 <nortti> 1
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
10:41:53 <Vorpal> [heap]
10:41:55 <Vorpal> how does that work
10:42:06 <Vorpal> what the crap
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
10:42:42 <Vorpal> how weird
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> $ cat /proc/$$/maps
10:43:54 <Vorpal> 00400000-004db000 r-xp 00000000 fc:00 3255 /bin/bash

10:44:10 <Vorpal> is the lowest one
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:

10:44:50 <Vorpal> fizzie, which version of firefox is that?
10:45:00 <Vorpal> 14.0.1 here
10:45:27 <fizzie> The about window says "Firefox ESR 10.0.6", I don't have a clue what that means.
10:45:31 <fizzie> Older, anyway.
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
10:46:25 <Vorpal> 144 MB
10:46:30 <Vorpal> 81 MB for js
10:46:46 <Vorpal> 14 MB for sqlite...
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?
10:48:41 <Vorpal> what is it then
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
10:50:06 <Vorpal> this is under js
10:50:09 <Vorpal> 46 MB
10:50:12 <Vorpal> single largest post
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
10:52:57 <Vorpal> 18 MB
10:53:07 <Taneb> Is the a Haskell Platform for Haiku?
10:53:11 <fizzie> XUL is the user interface stuff Firefox uses.
10:53:37 <Vorpal> ah
10:53:47 <fizzie> XML User Interface Language.
10:53:48 <Vorpal> Taneb, s/the/there/?
10:53:51 <Vorpal> ouch
10:53:55 <Vorpal> why not XUIL
10:53:58 <Taneb> Vorpal, yes
10:54:01 <fizzie> Maybe it was taken.
10:54:04 <fizzie> It rings a bell.
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).
10:55:43 <nortti> like?
10:55:52 <fizzie> XUL's XML namespace URI is http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul for example.
10:56:01 <nortti> :P
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.
10:57:49 <Vorpal> fizzie, ouch
10:58:55 <spirity> XUL (pronounced "zool")
10:58:58 <spirity> ....wot
10:59:05 <spirity> since when do x's make a z sound?
10:59:07 <nortti> :P
10:59:28 <fizzie> The pronunciation is also part of the joke.
10:59:46 <spirity> I don't get it.
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.
11:00:04 <fizzie> In that.
11:00:13 <Vorpal> btw, mobile firefox is a joke on a phone with 1 GB RAM. It works. Barely
11:00:21 <spirity> oh. okay.
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
11:00:47 <Vorpal> nortti, microb?
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
11:01:25 <Vorpal> nortti, ah
11:01:30 <spirity> Taneb: what are those?
11:01:33 <fizzie> nortti: It's MicroB.
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 <Vorpal> ah
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.
11:02:17 <Vorpal> nortti, ah
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
11:03:01 <nortti> true
11:04:01 <Deewiant> http://www.areweslimyet.com/
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".
11:04:45 <Vorpal> nortti, hm?
11:05:07 <nortti> Bon Echo=Firefox 2
11:05:23 <nortti> TenFourFox 4=Firefox 4
11:05:39 <nortti> oh. I did that switch in 2011
11:05:46 <nortti> summer
11:06:50 <Vorpal> ah
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.
11:08:13 <Vorpal> ah right
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...
11:11:47 <fizzie> What, with C++?
11:13:47 <fizzie> "This is all well and good, but my Firefox still leaks like a sieve" is the best FAQ.
11:14:03 <nortti> :P
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
11:17:04 <Vorpal> some sort of bugs
11:17:10 <Vorpal> check wp
11:17:27 <Vorpal> oh insects
11:17:53 <itidus21> i like my reference
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)
11:18:57 <Vorpal> wait, misread, 165 MB
11:18:58 <Vorpal> XD
11:19:06 <Vorpal> or wait a second
11:19:09 <nortti> :P
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?)
11:20:09 <nortti> ...
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.
11:21:16 <Vorpal> itidus21, what?
11:21:26 <nortti> deprioritizing tabs?
11:21:30 <Vorpal> itidus21, anyway on my desktop even 1.6 GB would be a non-issue
11:21:36 <fizzie> "chrome://memory
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
11:21:40 <fizzie> That's kinda weird.
11:21:48 <Vorpal> fizzie, so does about:memory in chrome
11:21:49 <nortti> hmm
11:21:52 <Vorpal> the issue is firefox on my laptop
11:21:57 <Vorpal> with 2 GB RAM
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
11:23:16 <Vorpal> ouch
11:23:21 <Vorpal> $ free -m
11:23:22 <Vorpal> total used free shared buffers cached

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.
11:23:30 <Vorpal> heh
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.
11:24:47 <Vorpal> interesting
11:24:53 <Vorpal> it doesn't?
11:24:58 <nortti> hmm
11:25:03 <Vorpal> and why is that important...
11:25:10 <Vorpal> fizzie, hah
11:25:30 <Vorpal> 3 1680MB 3824MB 2144MB primary linux-swap(v1)
11:25:31 <Vorpal> okay?
11:25:38 <Vorpal> that last MB number is the size
11:25:40 <Vorpal> from parted
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?
11:26:34 <itidus21> slowly... 4kb at a time
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?
11:29:14 <Deewiant> I do not know
11:31:04 <Vorpal> what was the name of that software that allowed you to connect to existing X11 sessions
11:31:06 <Vorpal> hm
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?
11:33:49 <Vorpal> wow
11:34:13 <kmc> Vorpal: look at $ndk_root/build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh
11:34:20 <Vorpal> ah thanks
11:35:34 <Taneb> Okay, I accidentally installed a copy of Rome: Total War on my Haiku memory stick
11:36:07 <nortti> :P
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
11:37:38 <Vorpal> Taneb, how?
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
11:38:11 <nortti> Vorpal: like?
11:38:12 <Vorpal> such as an scp, maybe a dropbox one or something
11:38:15 <Vorpal> err
11:38:17 <Vorpal> dropbear*
11:38:24 <fizzie> Busybear.
11:38:31 <nortti> Vorpal: you can try statical linking
11:38:37 <Vorpal> sure
11:38:39 <nortti> Pedobear.
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
11:39:09 <nortti> I think it does
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).
11:39:50 <Vorpal> Taneb, ?
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.
11:40:32 <Vorpal> I see
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.
11:41:59 <nortti> oh. you have maemo
11:42:05 <fizzie> Yes, it's a N900.
11:42:05 <Vorpal> nortti, nope!
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.
11:42:56 <Vorpal> fizzie, it did?
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
11:43:06 <fizzie> It doesn't normally.
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
11:44:16 <Taneb> Okay
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
11:45:07 <Vorpal> and possibly writable
11:45:13 <Vorpal> then you can use it from adb shell
11:45:16 <nortti> ok
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
11:46:02 <Vorpal> much more convenient
11:46:34 <Vorpal> Taneb, wait, which hand do you use for y?
11:46:42 <Taneb> Left
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?
11:47:06 <Vorpal> ah
11:47:29 <Vorpal> nortti, well, I used the one called "Terminal Emulator" XD
11:47:54 <nortti> :P
11:48:07 <nortti> Vorpal: where is the app dir located?
11:48:10 <Vorpal> sec
11:48:22 <Vorpal> nortti, oh it is "Android Terminal Emulator" on google play
11:48:26 <nortti> ok
11:48:27 <Vorpal> blue icon
11:48:32 <nortti> kay
11:48:51 <Vorpal> nortti, and /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/
11:48:59 <Vorpal> for that one
11:49:06 <Vorpal> nortti, for a different one the last bit will vary of course
11:49:13 <nortti> ok
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
11:50:00 <nortti> ok
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?
11:50:15 <nortti> ok
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?
11:51:33 <nortti> no idea
11:51:36 <Vorpal> oh yes it does
11:51:39 <Vorpal> well my copy does anyway
11:51:44 <Vorpal> but that is git head
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>
11:53:10 <Vorpal> XD
11:53:29 <nortti> :P
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 .
11:57:48 <nortti> do not want
11:58:02 <mroman> Future does not care what you want ;)
11:58:14 <Vorpal> NDK_DIR=`dirname $0`
11:58:14 <Vorpal> NDK_DIR=`dirname $NDK_DIR`
11:58:14 <Vorpal> NDK_DIR=`dirname $NDK_DIR`
11:58:15 <Vorpal> ouch
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
11:58:47 <Vorpal> ouch
11:59:14 <Vorpal> nortti, wirebonding and TTL logic?
11:59:29 <nortti> yes
11:59:43 <Vorpal> err not wirebonding
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
11:59:53 <nortti> wirewrapping?
12:00:02 <Vorpal> nortti, yes that is it
12:00:14 <Vorpal> AnotherTest, compacting GC?
12:00:16 <Vorpal> AnotherTest, HOW?
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".
12:03:14 <Vorpal> right
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.
12:05:02 <AnotherTest> It's a working paper for the standard
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
12:07:17 <AnotherTest> is probably a better answer
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. "
12:08:50 <Vorpal> what xor trick?
12:09:02 <Vorpal> and why would it help with memory-constrained applications
12:09:07 <olsner> Vorpal: the xor trick
12:09:30 <Vorpal> olsner, yes
12:09:32 <Vorpal> what is that
12:09:49 <fizzie> Vorpal: You can do a doubly-linked list with just one pointer.
12:10:01 <Vorpal> fizzie, oh, nice
12:10:06 <Vorpal> right
12:10:11 <fizzie> Vorpal: Assuming you always know one of the neighbours, the one you're coming from.
12:10:34 <Vorpal> well obviously
12:10:59 -!- MoALTz has joined.
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.
12:11:26 <Vorpal> indeed
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.
12:12:05 -!- ogrom has joined.
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.
12:13:37 -!- Jafet has joined.
12:13:40 <Vorpal> fizzie, true
12:13:44 <fizzie> Reduce is the word I was thinking of, probably.

12:15:12 <Vorpal> huh, now MTP started working under linux
12:15:16 <Vorpal> when I started rythmbox
12:15:18 <Vorpal> wow
12:15:43 <Vorpal> not that it started working /IN/ rythmbox, no it opened nautilus with the phone
12:15:50 <Vorpal> err the phone with nautilus
12:16:07 <Vorpal> and it only shows the content after I close rythmbox
12:21:14 <mroman> AnotherTest: You can generate fibonacci sequence by chaining ^^++[+[-

12:26:51 <mroman> 9
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.
12:29:35 <Madoka-Kaname> What kind of a language is that?
12:30:01 <Vorpal> <mroman> increment it, duplicate, multiply, compare with the number <-- that sounds like a slow square root implementation
12:30:16 <mroman> Vorpal: Indeed.
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*.
12:31:25 <Vorpal> I see
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
12:31:46 <AnotherTest> You could just use the formula
12:31:54 <AnotherTest> Vorpal:
12:32:01 <AnotherTest> My calculator uses newton's method
12:32:05 <Vorpal> hm okay
12:32:08 <AnotherTest> I think
12:32:16 <Vorpal> what does glibc do
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.
12:33:07 <AnotherTest> mroman: yes, for Fibonacci
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 :)
12:33:56 <AnotherTest> ah okay
12:34:01 <mroman> But
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
12:34:30 <AnotherTest> like haskell's Integer
12:34:36 <mroman> I could switch to Integer
12:35:05 <AnotherTest> because ri^^{\/^^.+\/1.-}{}w!vv with 100000 gives me 0
12:35:45 <AnotherTest> and 31 gives me
12:35:51 <AnotherTest> -2147483648
12:36:03 <AnotherTest> which both look like an overflow :(
12:36:10 <mroman> Yes.
12:36:12 <mroman> Int is bounded.
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

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.
13:25:05 <mroman> somewhere around 40
13:25:21 <AnotherTest> :(
13:25:33 <mroman> What did you expect?
13:25:36 <Vorpal> nortti, ah
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
13:26:34 <AnotherTest> If you stored it in ExtraLongFloat?
13:26:44 <AnotherTest> well that'd be BigDouble
13:26:54 <Madoka-Kaname> We have arbitrary precision floating point code.
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?
13:27:42 <Madoka-Kaname> Something like that
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
13:27:58 <mroman> but it's still fixed.
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)
13:28:33 <Madoka-Kaname> mroman, You could do something like
13:28:44 <Madoka-Kaname> log2(n)*32 bits percision
13:28:55 <Vorpal> nortti, how old is it?
13:29:10 <nortti> I bought it new in spring 2011
13:29:14 <Vorpal> hm
13:29:18 <Vorpal> nortti, low end I presume?
13:29:23 <nortti> yeah
13:29:27 <nortti> HTC Wildfire
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
13:32:13 <Vorpal> nortti, oh
13:32:18 <Vorpal> nortti, so what is your main phone?
13:32:28 -!- edwardk has joined.
13:32:31 <fizzie> Vorpal: Yes.
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.
13:33:36 <Vorpal> fizzie, ah
13:33:44 <Vorpal> nortti, yeah your phone was definitely low end :P
13:33:51 <nortti> yeah
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)
13:34:38 <Vorpal> fizzie, not really no
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
13:37:38 <Vorpal> my busybox lacks file
13:37:39 <Vorpal> hm
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
13:41:02 <nortti> ok
13:41:03 <Vorpal> like two weeks ago
13:41:24 <Vorpal> but file is such a useful command when poking around :P
13:41:38 <nortti> true
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
13:42:15 <Vorpal> 74 patch files
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?)

13:51:50 <Vorpal> olsner, file

14:03:27 <Vorpal> olsner, I don't believe it

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
14:05:01 <Vorpal> nortti, yes

14:09:46 <Vorpal> yay, my file works
14:10:10 <nortti> yay
14:10:18 <spirity> Vorpal: your file is just, like, data man.
14:10:34 <nortti> spirity: command named file
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)
14:11:57 <nortti> ok
14:11:58 <itidus21> there are a lot of appeals to nature, to genetics, to other things, to explain human desires
14:12:04 <Vorpal> or is it rooted
14:12:08 <Vorpal> I thought you said it wasn't
14:12:11 <Vorpal> not sure any more
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
14:12:31 <itidus21> and, society becomes reified
14:12:34 <nortti> Vorpal: how much disk space it requires?
14:12:36 <Vorpal> like run a script, export a few env variables
14:12:37 <Vorpal> sec
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
14:14:11 <nortti> ok
14:14:18 <Vorpal> not sure how large those bits of the SDK are
14:14:25 <Vorpal> since I have a lot of the SDK installed
14:14:26 <nortti> what bits?
14:14:32 <Vorpal> for multiple ABI versions

14:15:08 <nortti> why?
14:15:14 <Vorpal> nortti, to get adb for adb shell?
14:15:24 <Vorpal> and iirc part of the NDK docs said it was needed
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
14:16:22 <Vorpal> I don't know
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
14:16:52 <Vorpal> nortti, huh?
14:16:54 <nortti> +have
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
14:17:21 <nortti> ok
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
14:18:27 <Vorpal> interesting
14:18:57 <Vorpal> hm what is ueventd, thought it was udev, but doesn't appear so

14:19:53 <Vorpal> you need to do 775 or whatever

14:20:12 <Vorpal> what, really?
14:20:17 <nortti> I always use numeric mode
14:20:19 <nortti> yes
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
14:20:28 <Vorpal> can't with numeric
14:20:35 <nortti> oh
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
14:20:54 <Vorpal> read the man page :P
14:21:09 <nortti> ok. I'll just install man

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
14:24:44 <Vorpal> hm
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
14:26:20 <nortti> like?
14:26:47 <itidus21> that, stealing is just about being competitive with resources

14:29:24 <spirity> but it's not really one.
14:30:05 <Vorpal> it kind of is?
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
14:31:48 <Taneb> I think...

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
14:35:31 <nortti> ok
14:35:53 <Vorpal> (or specify your final target location for it right away)
14:36:09 <Vorpal> arvid@dragon /opt/android-ndk-r8b $ ls platforms/
14:36:09 <Vorpal> android-14 android-3 android-4 android-5 android-8 android-9
14:36:17 <Vorpal> not all API versions have new NDK versions
14:36:30 <nortti> ok
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
14:37:41 <nortti> ok
14:37:42 <Vorpal> maybe the entire docs/
14:37:45 <Vorpal> it isn't that large
14:38:12 <itidus21> i hope i didn't make monqy leave, i have /leave paranoia when someone leaves after i have started

14:38:47 <Vorpal> what does it say
14:39:08 <Taneb> "data"
14:39:11 <Vorpal> wow
14:39:17 <Vorpal> Taneb, sudo file -sL /dev/sdb* ?
14:39:32 <Taneb> /dev/sdb1: data
14:39:37 <Taneb> Wait
14:39:38 <Vorpal> Taneb, and for /dev/sdb itself?
14:39:41 <Taneb> I forgot to take off the 1
14:39:51 <Taneb> # ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'bootimg ' (bootable)
14:40:03 <Vorpal> eh, how does that even have a sdb1 then
14:40:11 <Vorpal> since there is obviously no partition table
14:40:14 <Vorpal> HOW DOES THAT WORK?
14:40:23 <Taneb> I DON'T KNOW
14:40:52 <Vorpal> Taneb, did you not unplug and replug it after you messed up the partition table?
14:40:55 <Vorpal> that could explain it
14:41:08 <Taneb> I've repeatedly unplugged and replugged it?
14:41:12 <Vorpal> huh
14:41:12 <Vorpal> okay
14:41:15 <Vorpal> then I have no idea
14:41:38 <Vorpal> Taneb, anyway I don't think bootable USB sticks work like that
14:41:44 <Vorpal> if that is what it is supposed to be

14:45:36 <Vorpal> what did you specify?
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

14:46:22 <Vorpal> err that is not right
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

14:47:52 <Vorpal> or at least dash

14:48:09 <Vorpal> what then I'm clueless
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
14:49:11 <nortti> same thing
14:49:43 <nortti> Vorpal: are your binaries PIII compatible?
14:49:57 <Vorpal> nortti, well, the script forces 32-bit binaries
14:50:03 <nortti> ok
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*
14:52:01 <Vorpal> xz -9 running...
14:52:37 <Deewiant> Using plain xz would probably end up being faster :-P
14:52:48 <Vorpal> hm true
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
14:53:11 -!- pikhq has joined.
14:53:38 <Vorpal> Deewiant, well the file is 96 MB :P
14:53:47 <Vorpal> 25 MB from bzip2
14:53:53 <Deewiant> Ah
14:54:03 <Vorpal> ah 16 MB from plain xz
14:54:07 <Vorpal> good enough
14:54:30 * Vorpal moves it to the dropbox directory
14:55:49 <Vorpal> Deewiant, anyway the default is -6 not -8
14:56:18 <Vorpal> but yeah xz is slow
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
14:56:45 <Deewiant> (Or -9e :-P)
14:57:05 <Vorpal> Deewiant, -e increases the work on the uncompressing side, no?
14:57:14 <Vorpal> oh I guess not
14:57:18 <Deewiant> No
14:57:29 <Deewiant> Unless it compresses worse, of course
14:57:39 <Vorpal> does higher number mean more memory when uncompressing then?
14:57:44 <Deewiant> Yes
14:57:45 <Vorpal> right
14:57:51 <Vorpal> guess -6 is good for nortti then :P
14:57:59 <Vorpal> what with his low spec machine
14:58:06 <nortti> yeah
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
14:58:53 <nortti> :D
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
14:59:53 <nortti> wow
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
15:00:39 <Vorpal> g3?
15:00:40 <Vorpal> wow
15:00:44 <Vorpal> poor you
15:00:47 <nortti> I'm done
15:00:52 <Vorpal> nortti, why would you use a G3?
15:01:01 <nortti> because it was cheap
15:01:15 <Vorpal> nortti, not going to drop your current machine I hope
15:01:23 <nortti> why?
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
15:02:04 <nortti> yeah?
15:02:09 <Vorpal> don't think the SDK for java supports that either
15:02:23 <nortti> so. I hate java
15:02:26 <Vorpal> oh well
15:02:34 <Vorpal> nortti, why did you ever get an android phone then? ;P
15:02:48 <nortti> because other choice was nokia
15:02:55 <Vorpal> symbian? right
15:02:59 <nortti> with symbian s60
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
15:04:58 <nortti> ok
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
15:09:02 <nortti> ok
15:09:04 <Vorpal> nortti, like GNU file
15:09:08 <Vorpal> busybox uses a different system
15:09:15 <nortti> ok
15:09:15 <Vorpal> basically like the kernel config
15:09:19 <Vorpal> I have no idea how you set that up
15:09:27 <nortti> hmm. I'll try
15:09:35 <Vorpal> I'll google :PO

15:17:50 <Vorpal> AnotherTest, comments that do not take time to process?
15:17:51 <Vorpal> what
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
15:18:56 <nortti> uhm. what?
15:19:02 <Vorpal> AnotherTest, right, you didn't specify at which stage
15:19:04 <Vorpal> nortti, what
15:19:10 <Vorpal> nortti, what are you trying to compile?
15:19:15 <nortti> busybox
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
15:21:50 <nortti> ok
15:24:21 <nortti> should I use devpts?
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
15:28:23 <nortti> intallation prefix?
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
15:29:12 <Vorpal> XD
15:29:45 <nortti> BusyBox installation prefix (PREFIX) [./_install]
15:30:20 <Vorpal> hm no idea
15:30:29 <Vorpal> anyway I can't find the applet selection list
15:30:30 <Vorpal> where is it
15:31:22 <Vorpal> oh right
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

16:53:23 <Vorpal> mroman, you could write a cgi wrapper for that?

17:16:28 <Vorpal> that worked for me
17:20:05 <mroman> At least I *could* host it if RLimitMEM would do what I expect it to do :(
17:27:14 <AnotherTest> mroman: "Berlesque programmers are very rare. " typo :D?
17:28:14 <mroman> oh
17:28:15 <mroman> yeah :(
17:28:44 <AnotherTest> HELP can only do something like # test := ri{^^\/1.-}{5.-}w!1.- at the moment
17:29:19 <AnotherTest> I'm going to add \ to allow it spanning over multiple lines
17:29:46 <AnotherTest> Or I could use a delimiter character
17:30:05 <AnotherTest> Not sure what would be best
17:30:50 <mroman> AnotherTest: http://eso.mroman.ch/cgi/burlesque.cgi
17:31:57 <AnotherTest> Nice
17:32:03 <AnotherTest> very nice
17:32:27 <AnotherTest> Also, should I use ';' as a delimiter ?
17:32:29 -!- MDude has joined.
17:32:45 <mroman> Delimiter for what?
17:32:48 <AnotherTest> Or should I use '\' to use multiple lines
17:32:51 <AnotherTest> For a defintion
17:33:02 <AnotherTest> # macro := something here
17:33:07 <mroman> # foo := bar ; # foo2 = fooooo
17:33:11 <mroman> ^- like that?
17:33:20 <AnotherTest> no, like:
17:33:35 <AnotherTest> # foo := bar
17:33:35 <AnotherTest> and bar bar
17:34:01 <AnotherTest> (a multi-line macro or whatever it should be called)
17:34:26 <mroman> I'd use indentation for that
17:34:27 <AnotherTest> but the example you gave would then be valid too
17:34:32 <mroman> # foo := bar
17:34:35 <mroman> still foo
17:35:02 <AnotherTest> what if someone had burleque that was shaped?
17:35:19 <AnotherTest> maybe they would need a space on the start of the line...
17:35:22 <mroman> Then you have to put a space in front of each line
17:35:35 <mroman> If your code line starts with a space, then you just have two spaces
17:35:46 <mroman> # foo := python code
17:35:50 <mroman> if bar:
17:35:54 <mroman> foobar
17:35:59 <mroman> ^- like that.
17:36:11 <AnotherTest> ah okay

17:41:02 <Vorpal> nortti, ?

17:41:44 <nortti> yes

18:00:59 <mroman> AnotherTest: A single spaces is fine I guess.
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.
18:04:54 <Vorpal> elliott_, hm
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?
18:06:15 <Vorpal> then that could happen
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".
18:07:15 <Vorpal> ouch
18:07:16 <fizzie> (Including printf.)
18:07:47 <elliott_> fizzie: Heh. Where is this?
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.

19:58:42 <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
19:59:00 <fizzie> to palm sth. off on sb. [coll.] [to dispose of sth.]
19:59:00 <fizzie> to pin sth. on sb. [coll.] [to lay the blame]
19:59:00 <fizzie> to plant sth. on sb. [coll.]
19:59:00 <fizzie> to slip sb. sth. [coll.] [secretively administer]
19:59:00 <fizzie> to plant sth. on sb.
19:59:04 <fizzie> If you ask one dictionary.
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
19:59:58 <Taneb> brb
20:00:35 <Phantom_Hoover> I've never read the Snowman nor do I know anything of Briggs beyond the name.
20:00:43 <Vorpal> okay
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.
20:02:51 <Phantom_Hoover> British film from the 80s.
20:02:53 <Vorpal> ah
20:02:57 <Phantom_Hoover> It's on Google videos, I think.
20:03:11 <Vorpal> google videos? Is that still around? You mean youtube right?
20:03:16 <Taneb> Back
20:03:17 <Vorpal> or do you mean their video store?
20:03:24 <Phantom_Hoover> ...no, I mean Google videos.
20:03:24 <Vorpal> I don't think that is available in Sweden
20:03:33 <Phantom_Hoover> It's a weird artefact, yes.
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
20:08:11 <itidus21> youtube, being a service which has a monopoly, capitalizes on it's monopoly by asking for mobile phone numbers during signups

20:08:56 <itidus21> my understanding is that you can sometimes sign up without phone
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
20:09:40 <itidus21> roger
20:09:41 <Vorpal> there is vimeo iirc
20:09:44 <Vorpal> and some other one
20:09:45 <Phantom_Hoover> So... you mean Fallout, but realistic.
20:09:50 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, yes
20:09:51 -!- elliott_ has joined.
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?
20:11:58 <Phantom_Hoover> I don't really know what its niche is.
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
20:14:10 <Phantom_Hoover> But not to default accounts.
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.
20:15:00 <Vorpal> hm

20:15:36 <Phantom_Hoover> BtW which Fallout games have you played?
20:19:33 <itidus21> let's plays are pretty cool
20:20:08 <itidus21> much more entertaining than the 8bit game generation itself was
20:21:14 <Phantom_Hoover> They're very, very subject to Sturgeon's Law though.
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
20:22:44 <elliott_> shocking
20:22:46 <Phantom_Hoover> Well I can see why you might call it a monopoly.
20:23:00 <itidus21> !
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
20:23:33 <itidus21> consistancy in my faults
20:23:34 <elliott_> for anything, I suspect
20:23:43 <Phantom_Hoover> Well no, it can in some situations.
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!
20:28:00 <shachaf> Like surjective functions.
20:28:03 <zzo38> OK
20:28:16 <mroman> http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/368
20:28:17 <mroman> uaaah
20:28:19 <mroman> I hope not.
20:29:23 <mroman> And what's kvm?
20:29:57 <Vorpal> mroman, the thing that allows qemu to use hardware virtualisation is called kvm, might be a different kvm though
20:30:00 <elliott_> Nothing wrong with a Java backend.
20:30:08 <itidus21> my point of course was that for the tags <google videos> x <youtube> that was the only comment i had
20:30:15 <elliott_> There's a patch to very-old-GHC that adds one.
20:31:10 <Vorpal> there should be a haskell-98 backend, so you could compile your code using lots of GHC extensions into pure haskell-98 code
20:31:30 <elliott_> Vorpal: That would require major whole-program transformations and so on.
20:31:51 <Vorpal> elliott_, indeed
20:31:58 <Vorpal> elliott_, or stupid output
20:32:00 <Vorpal> that would work too
20:32:10 <elliott_> What?
20:32:31 <Vorpal> elliott_, like compiling it into a state machine describing the program

21:15:15 <zzo38> I mean to build an electronic circuit
21:15:23 <itidus21> they can

21:21:55 <elliott__> "You have an extremely simplistic view of hacking and viruses. A clever programmer can write a virus that will hop to just about any device you plug into an infected computer.

Flash drive, hard drive, ipod

21:34:18 <olsner> yay, my os can be booted as a multiboot image using qemu -kernel now
21:39:31 <zzo38> Or even do this: They make a USB computer keyboard that records everything typed in its internal memory. It has a three year warranty. However, it is designed to break in two years. When the customer returns it under warranty, they can spy on everything the user typed.
21:39:53 <nortti_> olsner: isvyour os available anywhere?

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)

21:46:39 <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

21:51:45 <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
21:52:53 <zzo38> OK
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

21:56:46 <spirity> want to do something differently from the default? GOOD LUCK.

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

22:01:44 <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
22:02:59 <mroman> and the best part is
22:03:03 <zzo38> Rarely
22:03:06 <mroman> You don't have to fullfil the contract.

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.
22:22:27 <nortti_> umh. what?
22:22:29 <elliott__> hmm, I wonder if free google apps gives you less space than gmail
22:22:34 <elliott__> since it is marketed as 10 gigs
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)
22:24:53 <elliott__> especially since firefox is awful
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
22:25:53 <elliott__> nortti_: everything
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.

22:27:57 <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?
22:29:15 <kallisti> latest stable release is 14
22:29:38 <kallisti> the version number is completely arbitrary. as of late they've started increment the major version almost every month.
22:29:41 <kallisti> *incrementing
22:29:53 <fizzie> It's once every six weeks.
22:29:56 -!- david_werecat has joined.
22:29:57 <kallisti> ah okay.
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.
22:30:56 <nortti_> oh. so ESR is 10, right
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.
22:35:30 <nortti_> ok
22:36:11 <fizzie> (And three digits in less than a decade.)
22:36:30 -!- augur has joined.
22:36:53 <nortti_> I'll be getting back to using tenfourfox in few weeks. their stable is firefox ESR and their unstable is firefox stable
22:38:35 <fizzie> Every seventh Firefox (so 17, 24, ...) is an ESR release, apparently.
22:40:05 <nortti_> 3.6->10->17->24->31
