hey does anyone know a good linux distro/linux tool for network diagnostics or problem diagnosis?
05:50

tcpdump for many, many things

Or wireshark

07:57 * McMartin throws together a little program based on an old Scientific American column, determines it is waaaay to slow in C64 BASIC, rewrites it in asm
07:57
<&McMartin>
Which ends up acceptable for a display but not really OK for answering the question he posed in the column.
07:57
<&McMartin>
I might just cheat and throw a gigahertz machine at that one.
07:57
<&McMartin>
Sort of too bad, really. The BASIC program is so small the whole thing fits on one screen.

I had a flash dream this weekend. it lasted one second and carried a "thump!" sound like a ball being ejected from a plastic pipe: a tiny elephant landed on the top of a picture frame and stood there rather confused before I woke up.
09:18
<@TheWatcher>
McMartin: what's the question?

TheWatcher: The program is a very simple gas diffusion simulator
09:29
<&McMartin>
The question is how long it takes for the gasses to mix completely once you remove the separating wall.
09:30
<&McMartin>
The material is also however so dense and the process so slow that honestly they feel more like liquids to me >_>
09:30
<@TheWatcher>
Heh
09:31
<&McMartin>
But his specification of the algorithm is to just randomly select a location and direction until you get a valid move
09:31
<&McMartin>
And an 80s BASIC is *not remotely* fast enough for this. It makes me wonder what kind of rig he had.
09:31
<&McMartin>
(It can take multiple seconds to find a move.)
09:32 * McMartin is revisiting it because he'd apparently done a version in Pascal in the early 1990s in high school, but that version compiles but then explodes on run.
09:33
<&McMartin>
That would have been running compiled on a machine at least 30 times faster, though, so...

< Vorntastic>
If you're doing that you can get higher efficiency with a list of valid moves that you update when you move one
09:51
<&McMartin>
Yes inded
09:51
<&McMartin>
But that wasn't what he specified.
09:51
< Vorntastic>
True
09:51
<&McMartin>
And despite not displaying right it still moves faster than it's reasonable to track on dosbox at 3000 cycles

McMartin, why is it you're running inefficient gas simulations on old platforms again?

simon_: I had in rapid succession found both my old copy of the book the column was from and two previous attempts at implementing it that didn't seem to work, and neither of which answered the question posed.
