* Griwes makes the pikachu shocked face
<kazinsal> making dynamic linking obsolete by using machine learning to just steal source code from libraries as needed
<kazinsal> it seems to also autogenerate unit tests
<kazinsal> which I guarantee is going to not work out worth a hot damn on anything more complex than the 500th reimplementation of basename() in node.js that nobody asked for
<geist> but what happens ifyou start with a comment '// Implement OS'
<moon-child> ;o
<geist> does it start just pasting the linux kernel?
<kazinsal> it gives you a C program that prints out and executes a bash script that downloads linux
<kazinsal> signed up for the technical preview because I want to see how bad it does at kernel dev
<moon-child> hey, maybe it can do vga textmode hello world!
<kazinsal> one of the plus sides of the microsoft acquisition of github is that github now has enough money to not need to fleece small devs for ten bucks a month just to get a private repo or two
<kazinsal> the downside is that they now have enough money to do really hilariously awful things like this

<immibis> TIL paying for a service is "fleecing"
<mathway> What is compaction when we speak about virtual memory?
<immibis> mathway: context?
<mathway> Some computers allow I/O directly to user space. For example, a program could start
<mathway> up a disk transfer to a buffer inside a user process. Does this cause any problems if
<mathway> compaction is used to implement the virtual memory? Discuss.
<mathway> I have seen through the text of chapter, but it does not mention this word again.
<immibis> I guess it refers to some remapping virtual pages to different physical pages, but I'm not sure.
<immibis> You might want consecutive virtual pages to be consecutive physical pages, so you can use huge pages for example
<immibis> I/O DMA usually points to physical memory so if you try to move a page while I/O is happening to it, your I/O will get confused
<immibis> and write to the wrong pages
<mathway> Thanks. It was rather easy, i just needed to realize the question
<mathway> So, the same problem occurs when segments gets rearranged by os to avoid external fragmentation i think
dennis95 has joined #osdev
<mathway> If linux is concerned, are the read(2) and write(2) syscalls are type of io directly to user space? When you call them, you specify buffer inside your user process
<immibis> I *think* Linux always uses its own buffers internally. You can map those buffers into your process with mmap
<immibis> possibly O_DIRECT lets you read directly into your own buffers, I don't know
<immibis> it does say "File I/O is done directly to/from user-space buffers."
<immibis> with O_DIRECT
<mathway> I can't find O_DIRECT flag inside man pages for open(2) or mmap(2)
<mathway> Where i can read more carefully about that?
<mathway> can i, sorry
<immibis> I found it in the man page for open(2)
<mathway> Strange.
<mathway> Oops, sorry. I found it... search with o_direct failed but with just direct - success
<mathway> Thanks a lot for instant help
<mathway> Also, there's a type of problem occurs generally when I need to ask a question: there a lot of places to ask - irc channels, forums, stackexchange and other stuff, but when i try to choose which better suits for that type of question or another, my brain explodes. Is there any guideline which can help?
<mathway> It's completely offtopic of os development, but i already started to annoy you with my stupid questions, so why stop? :)
<immibis> don't think there is. ask whereever there are lots of people and you won't get banned for asking off-topic questions
<immibis> lots of people who are likely to know the answer*
<GeDaMo> On IRC you're relying on someone who can answer being connencted at the time you ask
<mathway> It's true, but the answer to the question is visible only to those who are connected, and to overall public of the internet it is closed. If we touch, for example stackexchange forums, the idea is that questions and accordingly answers to them persist for an infinite amount of time, so that future generations of programmers will google and find useful answers very quickly. That's why, asking irc has
<mathway> a disadvantage of not being conscious about future novices who may confront the same problems, and it's not good.
<klange> Well, there are logs.
<klange> Good public channels tend to be accessibly logged.
<immibis> klange: have you ever found the answer to a question by searching an IRC log
<immibis> +?
<klange> Yes, but usually the question was "what did <person> say on <date>"

<kingoffrance> "he idea is that questions and accordingly answers to them persist for an infinite amount of time, so that future generations of programmers" yeah, those were called books :)
<kingoffrance> they were these weird square-shaped things from a distant land
<gog> whats?
<immibis> most of them will be irrelevant soon anyway
<kingoffrance> s/square/rectangle/
<kingoffrance> seriously though, i think a combination is best i.e. online with sources
<klange> Books were even worse because they couldn't be searched, and you had to go and print a new one to fix the answers when they were wrong instead of having someone reply to call you a dumbass within five minutes.
<kingoffrance> yes, thats why combination is best
<klange> "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer"
<kingoffrance> i need a source if someone calls me a dumbass
<kingoffrance> else its just heresay :)
<kingoffrance> *hear
<klange> heresy!

<bslsk05> ​'Mounting 9p fileservers inside minetest world' by Sergey Ryabin (00:01:32)
<Skyz> In an alternative universe there was no internet, just 9p
<Skyz> internet browser*
<Skyz> I'm reading this paper trying to figure it out
<immibis> note that this paper is not intended to be a protocol reference. So if you feel like it is missing protocol information, that's because it is
Arthuria has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
Arthuria has joined #osdev
<Skyz> I feel building a virtual world based on 9p is the way to go
<Skyz> Virtual reality applications
<Skyz> Make the world one big server
_mrlemke_ has joined #osdev
<Skyz> 9p + MMORPG
<immibis> How do you know 9p is the best protocol for that?
mrlemke has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]
<Skyz> It's a sane distributed filesystem, so it has been thought out by great computer scientists
<immibis> well, maybe it doesn't matter. the protocol can be changed later
<immibis> are you sure about that? Don't make the mistake of assuming that everything people did in the past was better
<Skyz> Nope not sure, I'm just trusting it's done right but yeah it can be changed if needed
<immibis> maybe think about what you want to achieve and then how to achievei t
<immibis> "I want to use 9P" is not a requirement... unless you need compatibility with other 9P systems
<immibis> if you want to make it virtual reality, then presumably, the 3D look of things is going to be really important
<immibis> and *existing* 9P systems aren't going to have any data about that. Maybe you can say that a particular filename contains the area's 3D model
<immibis> thus making it compatible with the protocol, but you would still need to figure out how to deal with existing servers that don't have that file
<bslsk05> ​en.wikipedia.org: Distributed Interactive Simulation - Wikipedia
<immibis> is it designed for federation or just for systems under the control of one central group?
<immibis> i suspect anything the military developed will be full of things that matter for serious warfare but not for a casual interactive environment
<Skyz> I started with the intention of an OS for world peace
asymptotically has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<Skyz> So maybe the UN can have something to do with it
<immibis> careful, veering into delusional territory there, like Terry Davis
<j`ey> Skyz: that kinda talk is why you got banned before
<immibis> OSes have nothing to do with world peace
<Skyz> Well, I'm just saying that's the intention
<immibis> well, that intention is a meaningless load of garbage
<Skyz> If it's used by miltaries then it should be
<immibis> an operating system is a system for operating a computer
<Skyz> Computers have a lot of data in them
<immibis> even an MMORPG can't bring world peace
<Skyz> And people can spy on people
<immibis> at best you can not put spying in your OS. But linux also doesn't have that so you could also just use linux
<immibis> don't inflate your own importance too much
<Skyz> fair enough
mrlemke has joined #osdev
<immibis> you are not going to sell a single copy of your OS, unless you work for Google, and even then, they probably won't sell many copies unless they force people to use it instead of Android, which they might
<immibis> if it's a cool idea you might get 50 hobbyists to install it in VMs
<j`ey> 50 is a lot!
<immibis> yes
<immibis> sounds like your project isn't really an OS anyway, it's a multiplayer game
