Binary compatibility for user executables. Nobody outside of kernel-land cares what happens in kernel-land, as long as their stuff works~ But, if their stuff *stops* working, ...oh dear. :p

There might be tens of complaints!

03:33 * McM|travails boggles at Python, which appears to change the output codec from UTF-8 to ASCII when you pipe the results through less
03:33
< McM|travails>
Unsurprisingly, this is making most of my scripts break
03:33
< McM|travails>
I, um, don't recall this behavior before. What am I missing?
03:34
< McM|travails>
And is there a better way around it than calling sys.stdout.write(whatever.encode("UTF-8"))?
03:36
<@froztbyte>
maybe an environment variable?

03:39
< McM|travails>
Running it without less does the right thing, so you'd think the locale would stay the same when piped through less
03:39
<@froztbyte>
mmm
03:39
<@froztbyte>
well, I expect the issue is that there's some derp code in the tty connection detection
03:39
< McM|travails>
I guess
03:40
< McM|travails>
I'm boggled, though, because I've never hit this before

did you recently update interpreters or anything?

10:24
< McM|travails>
Abstraction, too
10:24
< McM|travails>
I'm clearly doing this wrong, as I'm taking 3 nested function calls to do a single blit
10:24
< McM|travails>
I'm either abstracting too much or NOT NEARLY ENOUGH depending on designer
10:58
< McM|travails>
Yeah, more "at the wrong level", I think

<@simon`>
I'm trying to simulate an equality instruction in MIPS32 without using branching (BEQ, BNE)...
13:13
<@simon`>
I want to translate this pseudo-code into MIPS: rd := rs = rt, where = is equality.
13:14
<@simon`>
I imagine I have rd, rs and rt as registers.
13:14
<@simon`>
so here's my attempt:

ToxicFrog, no
14:30
<@simon`>
(sorry, I forgot to post my attempt)
14:30
<@simon`>
xor $rd, $rs, $rt # rd := 0 if equal, >0 if not
14:30
<@simon`>
sltu $rd, $0, $rd # rd := 0 if equal, 1 if not
14:30
<@simon`>
xori $rd, 1 # rd := 1st bit: 1 if equal, 0 if not
14:30
<@simon`>
andi $rd, 1 # set all other bits in rd to 0
14:30
<@simon`>
sltu is "set less than, unsigned"
14:31
<@simon`>
xori and andi are "immediate" instructions taking constants as operands rather than registers.

hi does anyone know how to essentially wipe your hard drive to start over but keep the same windows licence? (i do not have the product key to my licence currently)

<@Tarinaky>
mac: I don't think it's possible without obtaining your product key.
15:36
< mac>
what if i kept all of like the windows file system, the whole thing
15:36
<&ToxicFrog>
mac: look for a tool that lets you extract the product key from an existing windows install. They do exist.
15:36
< mac>
and then just replaced it after i installed it with a key that was deemed not genuine
15:36
<@Tarinaky>
Then you're neither wiping your hard drive or starting over, you'll still have the entire, now broken, registry.

Chinese restaurants are generally open on holidays in the US, for whatever reason; as a result, a fair amount of American Jewry has a tradition picked up in college of having a big Chinese banquet on Christian holidays when everything is closed
21:34
< McM|travails>
Well, as big a Chinese banquet as you can have while avoiding pork
21:35
<~Vornicus>
Most jews I know eat pork. i dated one that ate microwave bacon, which is the true blasphemy.
