| 08:47 | <&McMartin> | Hooray, my Atari project is now fully playable |
| 08:47 | <&McMartin> | 619 bytes! |
| 08:48 | <&McMartin> | Though at the moment it cannot actually tell if you have won, but the way it makes new games is such that it kind of doesn't have to |
| 09:04 | <~Vorntastic> | It should make a stupid noise |
| 09:04 | <&McMartin> | yes |
| 09:04 | <&McMartin> | I have it all picked out |
| 09:05 | <&McMartin> | Also if you have won or not started it should randomly change the foreground and background colors every four seconds, as seen in Combat and Space Invaders |
| 09:06 | <&McMartin> | And then, finally, I have a bunch of unused screen and ROM space and I'm going to attempt The Penultimate Technique to have a high-res title graphic. |
| 09:06 | <&McMartin> | The Penultimate Technique is described at https://lparchive.org/Solaris/Update%2010/ among other places |
| 09:35 | <~Vorntastic> | If that's the penultimate technique, what's the ultimate technique |
| 09:35 | <&McMartin> | It's a technique about penultimates |
| 09:35 | <&McMartin> | (It exploits a mode where the graphics displayed are the second-most-recent write to the graphics register) |
| 09:37 | <&McMartin> | It was *intended* to let you have your graphics loop last 152 cycles instead of 76 without halving your vertical sprite placement resolution, but two years before The Great Crash it got repurposed for super-high-res score displays |
| 09:37 | <&McMartin> | ... and then the console stayed in commercial support eight further years after the Great Crash |
| 09:38 | <&McMartin> | So basically all games of import for the console post Yars' Revenge, inclusive, use that trick and basically nothing uses VDEL for its intended purpose but Combat and Breakout |

| 09:39 | <&McMartin> | did that get through up through Breakout? |
| 09:39 | <&McMartin> | hopefully tastic stayed around |
| 09:42 | <~Vorntastic> | Yes |
| 09:43 | <~Vorntastic> | Lines end with register, displays, crash, breakout |
| 09:43 | <&McMartin> | that's all of them |
| 09:48 | <~Vorntastic> | So, there is no Omnislash |

| 10:02 | <&McMartin> | Not as such no |
| 10:04 | <@abudhabi> | Hrm. I need to upgrade libcairo2 past what my package manager thinks is stable. What's the easiest way to do this? I need it for the new version of MySQL Workbench. |
| 10:09 | <&[R]> | For one machine or plural? |
| 10:09 | <@abudhabi> | One machine. |
| 10:10 | <&[R]> | Make a new package with the updated version, that way when upstream has a version that's even newer, it'll update seamlessly and properly. |
| 10:11 | <@abudhabi> | I'm not sure what that means. |
| 10:12 | <@abudhabi> | How do I make a new package? |
| 10:12 | <&[R]> | What's your package manager? |
| 10:13 | <@abudhabi> | I use aptitude usually. There's also apt-get, and Mint's graphical update manager. |
| 10:13 | <@abudhabi> | For this operation, I'm using gdebi to try to install mysql workbench. |
| 10:13 | <&[R]> | So... dpkg |
| 10:13 | <@abudhabi> | It tells me that, " |
| 10:13 | <@abudhabi> | "Dependency is not satisfiable: libcairo2 (>= 1.15.8)". |
| 10:14 | <@abudhabi> | Yeah. |
| 10:15 | <&[R]> | Honestly, your best option is to look up how to make an RPM package then use alien to convert it. |
| 10:15 | <&[R]> | Making a .deb normally is needlessly complicated |
| 10:17 | <@abudhabi> | What if I simply obtain the deb of the version I need and install it? |
| 10:17 | <&[R]> | That might work, depends on the compilation environment and options of that package |
| 10:19 | <@abudhabi> | Or I could try to find a different mysql client. |
| 10:20 | <&[R]> | Or run it in a Docker container |
| 10:20 | <@abudhabi> | I have very little experience with docker. |
| 10:20 | <&[R]> | Or in a chroot of another distro or an updated distro |
| 10:21 | <&[R]> | https://fleshless.org/pages/spark.html <-- provides a rootfs tarball |
| 10:22 | <&[R]> | Gentoo stage3 would also work I think |
| 10:35 | <@abudhabi> | Or I could just switch over to my Windows machine and install WB there. |
