| 00:01 | < RichyB> | Hrmn, I think that the (smaller, 10k square) test PNGs that I have been spitting out actually have incorrect ADLER32 checksums in the zlib-format stream. |
| 00:01 | < RichyB> | I note this because ImageMagick and Eye of Gnome (which I think is powered by libpng) appear not to care or notice! |

| 05:01 | | * Vornicus pokes at C++. |
| 05:05 | <~Vornicus> | I have an iterator into a std::map; I wish to delete the item at the cursor and move to the next. |
| 05:08 | <~Vornicus> | ah, erase. I think. |
| 05:08 | < [R]> | http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/map/erase |
| 05:09 | <~Vornicus> | yeah, seeing this. That invalidates the iterator I use; so erasing has to happen on a copy of the iterator. |
| 05:10 | < [R]> | Use the last version? |
| 05:11 | <~Vornicus> | Actually i suspect the interval version is the one I want. |

| 05:16 | | mode/#code [+o Alek] by ChanServ |
| 05:16 | <~Vornicus> | oh man and it even has the good complexity |
| 05:16 | <@Alek> | ? |
| 05:17 | <&McMartin> | While find on a red-black tree is O(lg n), iterating through it in sequence given a start point is O(n). |
| 05:18 | <~Vornicus> | Alek: I'm doing crazy things with C++'s std::map, specifically using the interval form of erase; I had thought that you were stuck with O(k log(n)) time, were k is the number of things to remove. |
| 05:18 | <~Vornicus> | It's actually O(k + log(n)) |
| 05:18 | <&McMartin> | But next and prev are amortized constant time. |
| 05:18 | | * McMartin is totally implementing these assholes in C right now. |
| 05:18 | | * McMartin does *not* have this shit swapped in, and indeed if he ever know it before last week forgot it like 15 years ago. |
| 05:19 | < RichyB> | Unless you have "prev" and "next" pointers in the leaves like a btree does, I think that it's impossible for next() and prev() to be constant time. |
| 05:19 | <&McMartin> | RichyB: *amortized* constant. |
| 05:19 | <&McMartin> | If you do an inorder traversal you hit each edge exactly twice. |
| 05:19 | <&McMartin> | Linear number of edges. |
| 05:19 | <&McMartin> | Any *given* next may be up to O(log N), but you get "paid back" in subsequent ones. |
| 05:20 | <~Vornicus> | (I knew that removing a single item caused O(log(n)) rebalancing operations; I didn't think they'd come up with a way to remove many items without doing a rebalance every time, but apparently htey have.) |
| 05:20 | < RichyB> | I understand amortisation, but I was counting the wrong thing. |
| 05:20 | < RichyB> | Is the number of internal branch->branch edges actually linear? I thought it was n*log(n) |
| 05:21 | <&McMartin> | There are n-1 edges. |
| 05:21 | <&McMartin> | Because every node but the root has exactly one "parent" link. |
| 05:21 | < RichyB> | You are right. Objection withdrawn. |
| 05:21 | | Alek [omegaboot@Nightstar-56dbba0f.in.comcast.net] has quit [[NS] Quit: brb] |
| 05:21 | <&McMartin> | Vorn: I don't have that algorithm handy, but I suspect there's some way to batch-rebalance after an interval deletion. |
| 05:21 | < RichyB> | Evidently you have more of this swapped in than you think. ;) |
| 05:22 | <~Vornicus> | McM: yeah, it's baked into the library. I don't need to write it. |
| 05:22 | <&McMartin> | RichyB: I've been studying the relevant chapters in CLR for the past week. |
| 05:22 | | * Vornicus deletes wholesale his two-sort skip list code. |
| 05:22 | <&McMartin> | Two weeks ago, if I ever knew it, it was 15 years ago. |
| 05:22 | < RichyB> | btw, try splay trees. |
| 05:22 | <&McMartin> | I'd rather not~ |
| 05:23 | < RichyB> | They're really cool. IIRC *every* operation has amortised rather than real-time bounds. |
| 05:23 | <&McMartin> | The two forms I have actual analysis/pseudocode for with decent treatments thereof handy are R-B and 2-3. |
| 05:23 | | * Vornicus deletes a full third of his codebase. |
| 05:23 | < RichyB> | Well, okay, don't write an implementation, all trees are tricky. |
| 05:23 | <&McMartin> | Yeah, IIRC splay trees do the rotations on lookup operations. |
| 05:24 | < RichyB> | IIRC there's a nice splay-tree implementation in the FreeBSD source code somewhere |
| 05:24 | | * Vornicus does a stupid dance. |
| 05:24 | | * Vornicus writes Yet Another Goddamn typedef map...; |
| 05:24 | <&McMartin> | Yeah, this is all ultimately bounded by "man, getting C++ to link cleanly against *anything else* is a pain in the ass, maybe I can write some decently reliable and non-license-encumbered code for this |
| 05:25 | < RichyB> | http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tree&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBS D+9.1-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html |
| 05:25 | < RichyB> | You might want to look at the FreeBSD code, then. |
| 05:25 | < RichyB> | It's all C, BSD-licensed. I believe that there are no non-trivial BSDisms in those tree headers. |
| 05:26 | < RichyB> | That particular pile of code is probably 2-clause or 3-clause BSD license, so you won't have to worry about the old GPL-compat headache. |
| 05:29 | < RichyB> | (When in doubt, strip-mine FreeBSD. ^_^) |

| 08:57 | <&McMartin> | Aaaand, making progress on that one nicely |
| 09:33 | <&McMartin> | OK, things are looking up! |
| 09:33 | <&McMartin> | Except there are two cases I haven't actually exercised with this yet >_< |
| 10:05 | <&McMartin> | And, that's that! |
| 10:06 | | * McMartin feeds it random input until those cases come up, checks those results against the FreeBSD reference, comes up roses |
| 10:07 | <~Vornicus> | Hooray |
| 10:07 | <&McMartin> | I should probably also put in internal consistency checks; I had some stale pointers that didn't cause any problems until I tried to do internal rotations and rendered half the data in the tree unreachable~ |
| 10:07 | <&McMartin> | That got fixed, at least~ |
| 10:08 | <~Vornicus> | *snrk* |
| 10:15 | <&McMartin> | Anyway, yes. There are 6 basic code paths for inserting a node into an R-B tree and 8 for deleting. I marked the blocks and then started randomly generating trees until I confirmed that all cases were being hit. |
| 10:16 | <~Vornicus> | Nice. |
| 10:16 | <~Vornicus> | mmmm, three-index-deep map assignment. |

| 10:19 | <~Vornicus> | ...but first, I create cucumber sauce. |
| 10:19 | <&McMartin> | Heh |
| 10:20 | <&McMartin> | I had one of those coming up |
| 10:20 | <&McMartin> | And then I realized that they were integer indices of ranges known at compile time and all roughly equally likely |
| 10:20 | <&McMartin> | Which is to say, they were a chain of C arrays. |
| 10:20 | <&McMartin> | At which point I started to seriously question why I was using C++ again |
| 10:21 | <~Vornicus> | I'm using maps all over the place. |
| 10:21 | <&McMartin> | Yeah |
| 10:21 | <&McMartin> | I'm gonna need a few, at some point. |
| 10:21 | <&McMartin> | I'm already using some. |
| 10:22 | <&McMartin> | But now I have red-black trees, and I can sneak them in undetected. |

| 18:24 | | * AnnoDomini bleeds tears of bubbling pitch. This does not in any way resemble using a TV set. |
| 18:27 | < ktemkin> | A TV set typically doesn't go for $30, like most of those devices do. |
| 18:29 | < AnnoDomini> | I once had a PCI TV card. The software that came with it actually did resemble using a TV set. It can't have cost very much; I'd have remembered better if it was super-expensive. |
| 18:33 | < AnnoDomini> | Am I supposed to have a /dev/dvb? |
| 18:33 | <@froztbyte> | what does dmesg say? |
| 18:33 | | Derakon [Derakon@Nightstar-a3b183ae.ca.comcast.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 18:33 | <@froztbyte> | (on plugging the device in you'll get a bunch of stuff relating to it, usually with the device name as well) |
| 18:34 | <@froztbyte> | (the driver or framework can decide which device name you get) |

| 18:41 | < ktemkin> | You can use "usb-devices" to tell whether there's an active driver associated with the device. (It's in the usbutils package.) |
| 18:42 | < ktemkin> | Something like: "usb-devices | grep "Vendor=00d7" -B 3 -A 8" should get just the information for that device |
| 18:43 | < ktemkin> | That'll output the device's info, including a list of interfaces and the associated drivers |
| 18:44 | < ktemkin> | I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=01 Prot=01 Driver=usbhid <-- There's the interface for my keyboard, for example, which is using the usbhid driver. If there's no relevant driver, you'll see Driver=(none). |
| 18:44 | < AnnoDomini> | Vendor is actually 0ccd. |
| 18:45 | < ktemkin> | (Whoops, I grabbed the product ID from your dmesg output, not the vendor ID-- but you get the point.) |
| 18:45 | < AnnoDomini> | http://pastie.org/8094956 |
| 18:48 | < AnnoDomini> | OK. No driver, it seems. |
| 18:50 | < ktemkin> | What kernel version are you running? |
| 18:52 | < ktemkin> | (uname -r) |
| 18:52 | < AnnoDomini> | "uname -r" gives "3.2.0-4-686-pae". I have like three versions on this box, but I'm not using the newest one, because for some reason the wifi doesn't work there. |
| 18:53 | < ktemkin> | https://github.com/ambrosa/DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0 <-- There's the driver. |
| 18:54 | < ktemkin> | Looking at the ubuntu intallation instructions, it looks like they should work on Debian. |
| 18:54 | < AnnoDomini> | Great. Trying. |
| 19:02 | < AnnoDomini> | make failed with a fatal error. |
| 19:02 | < AnnoDomini> | "(snip)foundation.h:19:21: fatal error: dvb-usb.h: No such file or directory" |
| 19:04 | < AnnoDomini> | dvb-usb.h appears to be present in both include directories. |
| 19:08 | < AnnoDomini> | Copying the .h files to the main directory seems to have solved it. |
| 19:19 | < AnnoDomini> | Argh. I'm not getting the expected messages at the end. |
| 19:20 | < AnnoDomini> | Well, sort of. |
| 19:20 | < AnnoDomini> | They're considerably different from the liste ones. |
| 19:20 | < AnnoDomini> | +d |
| 19:21 | < AnnoDomini> | http://pastie.org/8095030 |
| 19:22 | < ktemkin> | lsmod | grep dvb ? |
| 19:23 | < ktemkin> | (Also, I'd try unplugging and replugging your device and see if there's now a driver associated with the device.) |
| 19:23 | < ktemkin> | usbcore: registered new interface driver dvb_usb_rtl2832u <-- That looks promising; I'd expect that you might see driver=dvb_usb_rtl2832u when you run usb=devices this time. |
| 19:25 | < AnnoDomini> | http://pastie.org/8095039 |
| 19:26 | < ktemkin> | Yeah, it looks like the dvb_usb_rtl2832u kernel module's loaded. |
| 19:27 | < AnnoDomini> | usb-devices still says that there's no driver. |
| 19:34 | | Kindamoody is now known as Kindamoody[zZz] |
| 19:36 | < AnnoDomini> | Ideas? |
| 19:37 | < ktemkin> | There's a description of how to enable debug mode for that module on the bottom of the README for the git repo. |
| 19:37 | < ktemkin> | You could try that and see what shows up in your dmesg output. |
| 19:40 | < AnnoDomini> | Nothing much, apparently. |
| 19:48 | | * Derakon mutters at grep, wonders why "grep -E '.h.' /usr/share/dict/words" is turning up words with more than three letters. |
| 19:48 | <&Derakon> | ...oh right, beginning/end of line. |

| 22:29 | | * TheWatcher eughs |
| 22:29 | <@TheWatcher> | This would be hilariously simple in perl |
| 22:30 | <@TheWatcher> | In C/C++, not so much |
| 22:31 | <@TheWatcher> | My code is being passed pointers to sScrMsg structures by the dark engine, for Reasons I need to be able to allow people using my scripts to access fields in those messages by name. |
| 22:33 | <&Derakon> | So you need the equivalent of getattr(object, userString)? |
| 22:33 | <&Derakon> | (getattr being the Python function for "look up the field with this name in this object") |
| 22:33 | <@TheWatcher> | Yep |
| 22:33 | <&Derakon> | I guess in Perl it'd just be object[userString]. |
| 22:33 | <&Derakon> | I...guess you could just have every object maintain a mapping of strings to member fields. |
| 22:33 | <@TheWatcher> | Well, usually object -> {userString}, but something along those lines, yes. |
| 22:34 | <&Derakon> | I'm very rusty on any Perl that doesn't commonly show up in my one-liners. |
| 22:38 | <@TheWatcher> | (it's more complicated because there are actually something like 80 different message types. Each message type is a subclass of sScrMsg that adds message type specific fields to the standard message fields) |
| 22:40 | <@TheWatcher> | (so I need to work out what sort of message I'm looking at, whether the field the user has requested exists for that message type, and return the value if it does.) |
| 22:49 | | ErikMesoy is now known as ErikMesoy|sleep |
| 22:53 | <@TheWatcher> | I'm actually wondering if the easiest way to do this would be to have a std::map with strings containing "MessageType.field" as the key and accessor function pointers as values. |
| 22:57 | <@TheWatcher> | Then have a function that works out the message type string, slaps the field name on the end, does a find(), and if a match is found call the accessor function. |
| 22:57 | <@TheWatcher> | Bit Heath-Robinson, but it should work. |
| 23:04 | | Turaiel[Offline] is now known as Turaiel |
| 23:05 | <@TheWatcher> | ... 649 function pointers. |
| 23:06 | <&ToxicFrog> | Awesome. |
| 23:14 | | * McMartin rocks out entirely too hard to the Self Destruct soundtrack |
| 23:14 | <&McMartin> | TheWatcher: Computed GOSUB based on the MessageType.field enum~ |
| 23:15 | <&McMartin> | Oh, except they're strings, so no "computed" |
| 23:15 | <&McMartin> | yeah, map |
| 23:15 | <&McMartin> | Also, welcome to ML/Haskell datatype declarations >_> |
| 23:16 | <@TheWatcher> | (well, unordered_map, I guess - ISTR they are faster for individual item lookup, rather than iteration, which is what I will be needing) |
| 23:16 | <&McMartin> | (At N=649 it's not clear that the asymptotic improvement will help.) |
| 23:16 | <&McMartin> | (As hashing a string requires accessing all characters and comparison doesn't) |
| 23:17 | <@TheWatcher> | Hm, point |
| 23:17 | <&McMartin> | That said |
| 23:17 | <&McMartin> | Premature optimization: square root of all evil |
| 23:21 | | Orthia [orthianz@3CF3A5.E1CD01.B089B9.1E14D1] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 23:23 | <&McMartin> | Ah yes, of course. Random lootings of Modarchive. |
