| 00:53 | < RichyB> | This is fun. The "perf" sampling profiler on Linux *reliably* misattributes the cost of every synchronisation instruction to the instruction immediately following it. https://gist.github.com/RichardBarrell/5314813 |
| 00:53 | <@Alek> | \o| RUN ALL THE BENCHMARKS! |
| 00:54 | < RichyB> | OTOH, "perf" is still the best profiler I have ever used, so lah~ |
| 00:55 | < RichyB> | Hrmn, I wonder what it'll do if I put two "lock cmpxchg" instructions in a row? |
| 00:59 | <@gnoblargh> | Well. The only thing perf really knows is to summon milk anyway. |

| 03:04 | <&McMartin> | Reiv: Very simple but nevertheless super-cool order-from-chaos algorithm. |
| 03:04 | <&McMartin> | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_cellular_automaton |
| 03:05 | <@Azash> | http://repo.or.cz/w/luajit-2.0.git/blob/HEAD:/src/lj_asm.c#l218 |
| 03:06 | <&McMartin> | A bit long for a single module, but, nevertheless, gj |
| 03:07 | <@Azash> | Not mine (though I wish it was) |
| 03:10 | <@Reiv> | McM: ... you write that as a hello world? |
| 03:11 | <@gnoblargh> | That Wikipedia GIF looks vaguely Amiga demoscene-y. |
| 03:11 | <&McMartin> | Yeah, mine has The Stink Of PCdom about it, by which I mean I use a faithful recreation of the EGA 16-color palette. |
| 03:12 | <&McMartin> | Reiv: Yeah, it's a pair of 2D arrays, and then "draw a bunch of rectangles on a schedule" |
| 03:12 | <&McMartin> | That's pretty much the simplest thing you can do with a graphics screen. |
| 03:12 | <&McMartin> | That's not, like, "draw *a* rectangle once" |
| 03:12 | <@Reiv> | hn |
| 03:12 | <@Reiv> | I think I would like to learn how to do it. |
| 03:12 | <@Reiv> | I wonder how much work it would actually take. |
| 03:12 | <&McMartin> | The algo's in the article. |
| 03:13 | <&McMartin> | Basically, each cell has a state from 0-N |
| 03:13 | <&McMartin> | If it's in state X, It gets eaten in the next state if it has a neighbor in state (X+1) mod N |
| 03:13 | <&McMartin> | If eaten, it becomes state (X+1) mod N itself |
| 03:14 | <&McMartin> | And it's all done "simultaneously" within a tick, which is why you need the pair of 2D arrays (one for 'current' that stays static, one for 'next' which you fill in) |
| 03:14 | <&McMartin> | And that's it |
| 03:14 | <&McMartin> | You fill it with random values and it evolves into pulsing spirals XX% of the time. |
| 03:14 | <&McMartin> | XX is a function of how big the space is and how big N is, more or less. |
| 03:14 | <&McMartin> | (The other case is statis, one color eats the entire board and then stagnates) |
| 03:15 | <&McMartin> | (*stasis) |
| 03:18 | <&McMartin> | But yeah, wrote my first version of it in BASIC at the age of 12 or so based on one of my dad's Scientific American articles. |
| 03:19 | | Kindamoody is now known as KiMo|php-ing |
| 03:25 | <@Reiv> | ... you people are all way too good. |
| 03:25 | | * Reiv started coding in, uh, first year university. |
| 03:25 | | * Reiv is routinely intimidated accordingly. >_> |
| 03:25 | <&McMartin> | Ehn. |
| 03:26 | <&McMartin> | Most of us have been horribly warped by the standards of the professionals of that age. |
| 03:26 | <&McMartin> | Also, just a reminder; that stuff was from back when you didn't really get to specify *RGB color values* |
| 03:27 | <&McMartin> | (Also also: Americans computerized a lot of their schools really early and at a point where to use them *at all* you had to learn to program, so it became part of the curriculum even though it shouldn't have needed to) |
| 03:27 | <&McMartin> | I really, really need to get a piece of archaeology from that era up and running again. |
| 03:28 | <@Alek> | Also, not true any more. Sadly. :( |
| 03:28 | <&McMartin> | Right, but, I mean, a lot of us learned BASIC and LOGO when we were learning Children's Geometry because that was how one did labs in it. |
| 03:30 | < JustBob> | And then they took most of that out, in the dark and terrible 90's. |
| 03:30 | <@gnoblargh> | ABC 80. <3 |
| 03:30 | <@Reiv> | McMartin: Nonetheless, it leaves you lot so vastly superior in coding capability. |
| 03:30 | < JustBob> | It was amusing, though; our two-hours-a-week 'computer skills' course quite literally went from 'Learn how to code in QBasic!' to 'This is how you use a word processing program...' |
| 03:30 | <@gnoblargh> | (ABC 80: Swedish Z80-based computer, made entirely for ZOMGCOMPUTERISATION of our school system.) |
| 03:31 | <@Reiv> | My real issue is that I suspect I joined it Too Late, and then worse yet failed to live and breathe the stuff for four years instead. I mix'n'matched it with biological sciences, which kept me roughly current in both at once at the expense that the second one never quite, uh, stuck. |
| 03:31 | <&McMartin> | JustBob: The 90s were about when that transition changed away. |
| 03:31 | < JustBob> | McM - Yeah, I was there for it. |
| 03:31 | <&McMartin> | When computers became tools that The Experts prepared for you so that you might be able to do your work. |
| 03:31 | < JustBob> | :p |
| 03:32 | <&McMartin> | This correlates almost exactly to the point where graphics got good enough that you could select your colors by RGB value. |
| 03:32 | <&McMartin> | This is probably a coincidence >_> |
| 03:32 | < JustBob> | This correlated to Windows 95. |
| 03:32 | < JustBob> | That's probably a bigger coincidence. |
| 03:32 | <&McMartin> | Heh |
| 03:32 | <&McMartin> | QBasic was Not Bad, really |
| 03:32 | < JustBob> | But... Now that you mention it, it does actually kinda seem amusing. |
| 03:33 | < JustBob> | That we were shifted out of a "know the core" kinda mode, to "Use the kool-aid" when Win95 came out. :p |
| 03:33 | < JustBob> | I mean, it is about when we walked away from, well, spending most of your time in the command prompt. |
| 03:35 | < JustBob> | (Anyone who tells me that they spent most of their time in Windows 3.1 is a liar and should be flogged.) |
| 03:35 | <@Alek> | Apple ][c/Macintosh in elementary and middle school. games and typing. then Win 3.1 in high school. word processing. frigging curriculum, they listed programming classes every year in HS but never ran them, always claimed there were too few students. |
| 03:35 | <@Alek> | JB: well. we spent ALL our time in 3.1, in HS. |
| 03:35 | <@gnoblargh> | JustBob: heh. |
| 03:36 | <&McMartin> | JustBob: Depends. If the sentence continues "...playing Chip's Challenge" then they probably speak truth. |
| 03:36 | <@gnoblargh> | Nah. 3.1 was something you got out of to go back to DOS to run whatever it was you /actually/ wanted to run. |
| 03:36 | < JustBob> | Exactly! |
| 03:36 | < JustBob> | It ate like, a whole megabyte of RAM. |
| 03:36 | <@Alek> | well, no. we ran MS Word. And I think Excel. |
| 03:36 | < JustBob> | And since that was half to a quarter of what you had... :p |
| 03:36 | <@Alek> | no command line for us. |
| 03:36 | | * McMartin tries to remember |
| 03:36 | < JustBob> | They tried to stop us. TRIED. |
| 03:36 | <&McMartin> | I think I used PFS:Write. |
| 03:37 | < JustBob> | It helps, though, that I knew all the admin passwords, since I was the one who put the fucking network together. |
| 03:37 | | * Alek shakesfist SO HARD. |
| 03:37 | < JustBob> | And yes, I left backdoors for myself. |
| 03:37 | <@Alek> | it was a great school aside from that. |
| 03:37 | < JustBob> | It was kinda sad, though, that the network admin never actually took my backdoors out. |
| 03:38 | < JustBob> | Even the one blatantly labeled, at the top of the user list, "[Bob]'s Secret Backdoor Network Access]" |
| 03:38 | <@gnoblargh> | Heh |
| 03:38 | <&McMartin> | Ha |
| 03:38 | <&McMartin> | Anyway |
| 03:38 | < JustBob> | I think I remember PFS:Write? |
| 03:38 | < JustBob> | The name sounds familiar, for some reason. |
| 03:38 | <&McMartin> | I found in my Old Archives a treatise on software engineering in GW-BASIC, itself written in many thousands of lines of GW-BASIC. |
| 03:39 | <&McMartin> | And starring animated ASCII-art cockroaches and cats |
| 03:39 | <&McMartin> | And I remember every important abstraction being Like An Enormous Train. |
| 03:39 | <&McMartin> | I really want to get this running again in DOSBOX or something just so Captain Subtext can have at it |
| 03:39 | < JustBob> | But the majority of things were done in MS Works. |
| 03:39 | < JustBob> | (It didn't.) |
| 03:39 | | * gnoblargh has fond memories of getting called in to change the Win95 shutdown screens from "Now you can fuck [computer teacher's name]" back to "Now it's safe to turn off your computer". |
| 03:41 | < JustBob> | I had a Talking To about that one. |
| 03:41 | <@gnoblargh> | (see, kids, back in those days computers didn't turn off by themselves~) |
| 03:41 | < JustBob> | (They still don't if you know how to disable autorestart for updates.) |
| 03:41 | <&McMartin> | Man, ACPI took for-fucking-ever to get properly supported. |
| 03:42 | <@Reiv> | The thing that baffles me is, y'know, why? |
| 03:42 | <@Reiv> | Was it really that complicated? |
| 03:42 | <&McMartin> | Software control of power? |
| 03:42 | <&McMartin> | Yes. |
| 03:42 | <&McMartin> | You basically needed to promulgate and then get support for an entirely new motherboard standard. |
| 03:43 | <&McMartin> | And also redesign all the cases, because their power switches physically broke/closed the circuit. |
| 03:43 | <@gnoblargh> | Honestly, the thing that made it good was that whichever prankster had hacked in said shutdown screens had taken care to exactly emulate the originals. |
| 03:43 | <@gnoblargh> | Same font, same color, same layout. |
| 03:44 | < JustBob> | gno - Mine was 'Now commencing hard drive format...' |
| 03:44 | < JustBob> | Apparently this panicked more than a few people. |
| 03:44 | <@gnoblargh> | Reiv: back before ATX, the power switch was an actual power switch. |
| 03:45 | <@gnoblargh> | An actual breaker between power and the motherboard. |
| 03:45 | <@gnoblargh> | Afterwards, it became more of a hint. |
| 03:45 | <@gnoblargh> | "I'd like you to turn on now" and "I'd like you to turn off now". Neither of which being exactly binding. |
| 03:46 | <&McMartin> | Which is why here in Glorious Future Year 2013 it is occasionally necessary to physically unplug or remove the battery from a malfunctioning device that has somehow hung hard enough to be able to ignore ACPI requests. |
| 03:46 | <&McMartin> | (Though some cases/motherboards will also break the circuit physically if you hold the power button down for long enough) |
| 03:46 | <@Reiv> | Ho, yes. |
| 03:46 | < JustBob> | Or, you know, use the physical power switch on the PSU? |
| 03:47 | < JustBob> | Since the ability to open a switch is still there. |
| 03:47 | <@gnoblargh> | That's actually part of ATX too. 6 second hold => hard power shutdown. |
| 03:47 | <&McMartin> | JustBob: My laptop does not have one of those. |
| 03:47 | < JustBob> | It's just not a chunky 120-volt throw-switch on the front anymore. |
| 03:47 | < JustBob> | Oh, well, laptop. Yes. Remove battery, shake machine. |
| 03:47 | <@gnoblargh> | If it doesn't, your motherboard/PSU are noncompliant. |
| 03:47 | <&McMartin> | JustBob: Of course, Macs don't have battery access anymore, because ZOMBIE STEVE DEMANDS YOUR BRAINS |
| 03:48 | <@gnoblargh> | God, that was the worst part about the old iMacs. |
| 03:48 | <@gnoblargh> | They crashed _all the time_. |
| 03:48 | <@gnoblargh> | But reset switches were So Non-Mac. |
| 03:48 | <@gnoblargh> | So your only recourse was to physically pull the plug. |
| 03:49 | <&McMartin> | Oh hey |
| 03:49 | <&McMartin> | Yeah, OK. ATX was actually introduced in 1995. |
| 03:49 | < JustBob> | Yeah. |
| 03:49 | < JustBob> | Windows 95 had software power control. |
| 03:49 | <&McMartin> | I think it took something like 5 years for it actually to become ubiquitous enough that I didn't feel like I needed to babysit Every Machine Ever. |
| 03:49 | < JustBob> | It was why it had the whole "DO NOT TURN COMPUTER OFF UNTIL NOW!" |
| 03:50 | < JustBob> | The screen, I mean. |
| 03:50 | < JustBob> | You remember. "It is safe to turn your computer off now." |
| 03:50 | <&McMartin> | I do. |
| 03:50 | < JustBob> | Admittedly, not all systems were compliant with it. |
| 03:50 | < JustBob> | And some users had problems remembering to "shutdown." |
| 03:50 | <&McMartin> | Quite |
| 03:50 | <&McMartin> | Heh |
| 03:51 | <&McMartin> | But yeah, I meant just "support for software power control" |
| 03:51 | <&McMartin> | Most of us at Uni were using scavenged machines that had just been upgraded to Win95. |
| 03:51 | <&McMartin> | So they weren't even ATX to *begin* with |
| 03:51 | < JustBob> | Yeah. I remember it was pretty commonplace, and I worked at a mom 'n pop computer store for a while, and most everything I built was, well, ACHI. |
| 03:51 | < JustBob> | Er, ACPI. Or whatever. |
| 03:51 | <&McMartin> | ACPI is probably later... |
| 03:52 | <&McMartin> | Hm, it was, but not very |
| 03:52 | <&McMartin> | ('96) |
| 03:52 | < JustBob> | By a year? |
| 03:52 | <&McMartin> | Yeah |
| 03:52 | <&McMartin> | Aaaanyway, yeah. |
| 03:52 | <&McMartin> | It wasn't until '00 that it was habitual to assume that I could hit shutdown and let the machine take care of itself. |
| 03:52 | <&McMartin> | For me, anyway |
| 03:53 | < JustBob> | Huh. Well, you also used a lot more in the way of *nix, iirc. |
| 03:53 | <&McMartin> | Kinda, but I'm setting that aside. |
| 03:53 | < JustBob> | I mean, pretty much post-'96, I'd just whack shutdown and walk away. |
| 03:53 | <&McMartin> | I think it's more "I and my compatriots didn't upgrade much, and we built in '94" |
| 03:53 | < JustBob> | '96 or '97. |
| 03:53 | < JustBob> | Well, okay. It was OS dependent. |
| 03:54 | < JustBob> | If it was an older win3 upgrade box, I'd stick around, since sometimes it'd do weird things. |
| 03:54 | < JustBob> | If it was a new box, I'd whack and walk. |
| 03:54 | <&McMartin> | Yeah |
| 03:54 | < JustBob> | After win98 came out, it was pretty much all whack and walk, because by then I was actively hoping to destroy our outdated boxen. |
| 03:54 | <&McMartin> | (I didn't start using Linux seriously as a personal OS until about '02) |
| 03:54 | <&McMartin> | Heh |
| 03:55 | <&McMartin> | Right, also, I wasn't an admin, so I didn't have to care about the other Unices |
| 03:55 | <&McMartin> | Man, when did I get Win98 |
| 03:55 | <&McMartin> | I think I got it in '00 |
| 03:55 | <&McMartin> | That would match up |
| 03:55 | < JustBob> | 486 dx100's were not made to run Win95. |
| 03:55 | <&McMartin> | Heh |
| 03:55 | | * McMartin had a P120 for that |
| 03:56 | < JustBob> | Yeah. Peggy - our insane lesbian weiner-dog-owning computer instructor - and I scavenged through the giant donation of old computers we got from Intel and put together about 40 working ones. |
| 03:56 | <&McMartin> | Then a Celeron, for much longer than I should have |
| 03:56 | < JustBob> | They literally backed a semi truck up to the door and handed us a couple hundred boxen. "Here you go!" |
| 03:56 | <&McMartin> | Nice |
| 03:57 | < JustBob> | No, no it wasn't. |
| 03:57 | <&McMartin> | Snerk |
| 03:57 | < JustBob> | It was like, trawling through the dustbin of Intel's history. |
| 03:57 | < JustBob> | Literally a dustbin. |

| 03:59 | | * McMartin supplies Epic Cyberpunk Soundtrack |
| 04:01 | < JustBob> | Like, that donation had everything from 286's with those huge red throw-switches all the way to some of their, like, still-on-market chips. |
| 04:02 | < JustBob> | Well, still on market for 1996-1997. |
| 04:02 | <&McMartin> | Heh |

| 04:03 | <&McMartin> | I think I still have a Big Red Throw Switch box in my parents' garage |
| 04:03 | <@Reiv> | oh man I remember the throw switches. I think. |
| 04:03 | < JustBob> | I still want to know where the hell my Compaq Luggable went. |
| 04:03 | <@Reiv> | Now I need a picture to confirm my brain. |
| 04:03 | < JustBob> | I want to take that thing and, like, install a fully modern computer in it. |
| 04:04 | <@Reiv> | And I'm scared to look lest I corrupt the memory file~ |
| 04:06 | < JustBob> | http://williambader.com/museum/at/28atside.jpg |
| 04:06 | < JustBob> | There you go. :p |
| 04:08 | < JustBob> | Man, those things had the most satisfying mechanical clickthump noise. |
| 04:09 | <@Reiv> | Oh shit /those/ haha yes I know it well. |
| 04:09 | <&McMartin> | So yeah |
| 04:10 | <&McMartin> | Those are why you didn't get to have software poweroff until the late 90s. |
| 04:10 | <@Azash> | Reminds me of a quote from MOS: "Our job isn't done as long as computers have reset buttons on the front" |
| 04:10 | <@Reiv> | Fair enough, then. |
| 04:10 | <@Reiv> | MOS? |
| 04:10 | <@Azash> | Modern OSes |
| 04:11 | <@Reiv> | This is a group, or? |
| 04:11 | <@Azash> | It's a book, by a guy called Tanenbaum |
| 04:11 | <@Reiv> | Right. |
| 04:12 | <@Reiv> | ... PCs don't have reset buttons any more do they? |
| 04:13 | <@Azash> | Mine does |
| 04:13 | <@Azash> | I also can't remember whether it's reset or power |
| 04:13 | < JustBob> | Mine has a reset switch. |
| 04:13 | < JustBob> | I think. |
| 04:13 | <@gnoblargh> | They most certainly do. |
| 04:14 | <@gnoblargh> | Your fancy prebuilt model might not have one, but it's built into whatever motherboard standard it uses that it should support one. |
| 04:14 | < JustBob> | Yup. Right next to the power button. |
| 04:14 | < JustBob> | I remember staring at the pins and going, "...should I even plug this in?" |
| 04:14 | <@Reiv> | ha, right |
| 04:14 | <@Reiv> | ... oh is /that/ why, gotcha |
| 04:15 | | * Reiv was, for an eternity, mildly mystified why there were pins that remained unplugged. |

| 04:16 | < JustBob> | gno - I used to have shorted jumpers to fuck with people with. |
| 04:16 | < JustBob> | Permanently have the reset switch on reset. |

| 11:01 | < AnnoDomini> | Wow. They have really improved Code::Blocks. (Upgraded from the version available at Debian stable, to Debian testing.) |
| 11:14 | <&McMartin> | I've never really liked it but it's been the least bad option for a lot of things for awhile. |
| 11:14 | <&McMartin> | Haven't checked super-recently though. Anything particularly nice? |
| 11:22 | < AnnoDomini> | Loads much, much faster, and bothers me with prompts much less. |
| 11:23 | < AnnoDomini> | Also auto parens and brackets. |
| 11:23 | < AnnoDomini> | And it seems to understand where to get autocompletes for SDL_Delay now. |

| 13:15 | <@[R]> | It's my understanding that IDEs are fuck-off slow only so people will be happy when they get sped up. |

| 13:16 | < RichyB> | I never got over my initial impression of Eclipse or Netbeans. |
| 13:16 | <@[R]> | Because they all seem to have that same damn problem |

| 13:16 | < RichyB> | "Uh, why does it lag when I type?" |
| 13:16 | <@[R]> | Ha |
| 13:17 | <@[R]> | I think Dev-Cpp is the only IDE I've used that wasn't horrible. |

| 13:18 | <@[R]> | It's back apparently |

| 14:57 | <@sshine> | RichyB, you're forgetting the feature where various gadgets and overviews steal your screen space. a built-in debugger with break-points is also awesome. |
| 15:03 | < RichyB> | sshine: the built-in debugger is the only thing that I've ever had cause to use Eclipse in anger for. |
| 15:03 | < RichyB> | That would not have happened if jdb had a UI that was similar to gdb. |
| 15:03 | < RichyB> | I have no idea what Sun must have been smoking to make jdb's UI not work identically to & therefore be familiar to users of gdb. |
