Would you say that creating an hobby OS is a prerequisite to contributing to bigger OS projects? Can I just skip it and directly try to contribute to projects that matter? Checking GitHub profiles, it seems like people who contribute to system projects that matter don't dabble in hobby OSes and people who dabble in hobby OSes don't really contribute to bigger projects. How come?
<Mutabah>
Hobby OS devs tend to be about working from first principles
<kof123>
back in the 60s you could do whatever you wanted, because noone knew what an os was </seymour cray ghost paraphrase>
<kof123>
that is 2nding Mutabah i guess lol
<kof123>
or: it was ALL hobby stuff at some point lol
<jafarlihi>
But knowledge wise, would you expect someone who wants to contribute to bigger projects to have gone through hobby OS trenches?
<kof123>
i am a hobbyist, no idea lol
<jafarlihi>
I want to do stuff that people want instead of endlessly trying to create everything from first principles
<Mutabah>
Some do... but they are very different fields really...
<Mutabah>
most established OS work is on either really complex scheduling interactions, or on nitty-gritty/obscure drivers
<kof123>
eh, that makes sense. have to draw a line somewhere 1) needs 2) wants 3) nice to have and set priorities either way i guess
<kof123>
regardless of where those come from

Oh

Mmm
<zid>
You'd think the unicode people would be smart enough to know what a letter was, smh
<dminuoso>
The notion of `letter` is not well defined.
<dminuoso>
But it may be that unicode has a specific definition (which may or not align with the casual users notion)

<dminuoso>
Much of the unicode standard is very careful to not use words like `character` or `letter`
<dminuoso>
Mostly because they are very biased views that only apply to certain countries or regions on earth
<dminuoso>
Id be interested in the definitions of those categories
<dminuoso>
Havent looked into it
<zid>
saves them all having to be very good linguists
<zid>
if they don't have to write using technical language what specific part of written language a thing is
<zid>
just call everything a codepoint and be done with it
<dminuoso>
I guess the problem is that eventually people do want their localized textual notions.
<dminuoso>
Say an operation `capitalize :: Text -> Text` is a reasonable operation for a German word
<dminuoso>
And there's a large plethora of different ideas
<dminuoso>
`In particular, while the Unicode Standard includes various “alphabets” and “syllabaries,” it also includes writing systems that fall somewhere in between. As a result, no attempt is made to draw a sharp property distinction between letters and syllables.`
<zid>
first you start with a consononant, then you add 4 marks for the vowels
<zid>
and there's your word
<zid>
(Several languages work like this)
<zid>
none individually are letters
<dminuoso>
Plenty languages dont have letters in the linguistic sense either
<dminuoso>
Its a notion only useful in phonemic orthography
<dminuoso>
Or I guess you could also understand letter as the element of an alphabet
<dminuoso>
It's a problem when even linguistics itself isnt quite exact and clear with this

epony: where is the lumbar support supposed to go anyway
<epony>
under your back
<gorgonical>
I feel like I'm always moving my chair's support cushion and it's never in the right spot
<gorgonical>
It's one of those that's built into the chair and you can adjust it up and down
<epony>
ah
<epony>
well, there is a lower back space between your shoulders and your tail
<gorgonical>
Is it supposed to sit at the deepest point of the curve of the lower back?
<epony>
something like that
<gorgonical>
hmm
<epony>
so it does not curve like the back of a cat
<epony>
because that could herniate the intervertebral discs
<gorgonical>
I wonder whether not using a lumbar support or deadlifting weekly is a greater danger to herniated discs
<epony>
which happens when you slouch and bend your back so the rear side of the discs protrudes out
gildasio has joined #osdev
<epony>
which is really a dangerous condition
<epony>
the sitting is long term injury
<epony>
the other is.. self inflicted trauma
<gorgonical>
My main postural problem is actually my upper back. I have always had a bit of a slouch
<epony>
but the lower back gets problems with incorrect sitting posture
<epony>
that's worsened by laptops who are not propped up
<epony>
so raise these to your eye level for the screen upper or median line
<gorgonical>
Definitely. When I'm at the office I'm on my laptop and I'm like a goblin
<epony>
even some monitor stands are not tall enough and you're working at the lower side of the screen with scrolled up text and reading at 25-30° below the horizontal
<gorgonical>
... like I'm doing right now lol
<zid>
Correct fix for you is to sit at 120 degrees
<epony>
that's why you need a power amplifier below your monitor ;-)
<zid>
less weight on your back, can't slouch either
<gorgonical>
I have a vesa stand for my monitors but it isn't quite rigid enough and if I put them any higher up they wobble a lot when I type
<epony>
yep
<gorgonical>
Right now they are partially perched on top of my 90's creative speakers

<epony>
now all you need is a hoist to pul your neck or an underchin v-resting cane / frame support
<zid>
only problem is finding a chair that can go high enough
<epony>
gorgonical, or at least remember to not slouch, or when you do, keep your back straight with the help of that pillow and the recliner angle spring tightness of the chair
<epony>
underarm rests help too, as they keep your arms from weighing on your shoulders and prevent tension / problems in that area
<gorgonical>
I actually really hate my chair's recliner thing and I have configured it not to recline at all
<gorgonical>
I sit *only* upright lol
<zid>
no wonder your back hurts
<gorgonical>
It doesn't though
<epony>
yeah, it's a kind of "need both" but with a control to engage / disengage kind of thing
<epony>
depends on the distance between you and the monitor and the leg support and the mode of use
<epony>
intense versus laid back
<gorgonical>
The distance between the arm rests on this chair is too wide and it really irritates me
<epony>
and the driver for that is pressure / compression in the thighs
<gorgonical>
Or maybe they need to be lower or something
<epony>
so it's a 'big'-butt chair ;-)
<epony>
and you're not yet up to its sizing
<epony>
yep, if they are adjustable, see about it, otherwise with the distance between your back and the keyboard
<gorgonical>
I guess lol. I got it from staples. I'm a little over 6 feet tall so I don't think I'm a wee little man in this big chair
<gorgonical>
I miss the steelcase chair I had at my internship
<gorgonical>
But it was $800
<epony>
so, it's just the distance to the keyboard then
<epony>
the really good chairs are two types
<epony>
the ones you see on old magazines in the data centre with the low back cushion support only with the arm rests
<epony>
and whatever you can get that resembles the patient chair at the dentist office
<gorgonical>
epony: by those datacenter chairs you mean the ones that have no back, only the lower back pillow?
<epony>
yeah
<gorgonical>
I.e. you cannot lean back into them
<epony>
they are for typist / data entry operator style
<epony>
yep
<gorgonical>
Yeah
<gorgonical>
I wonder how much one of those would ben
<gorgonical>
be*
<epony>
the newer variant of that has slightly taller back support up to the shoulders
<epony>
and it's relatively inexpensive
<gorgonical>
Wait what are your opinions on the ones that have you kneeling
<epony>
you probably have that already
<gorgonical>
No unfortunately my chair is one of the dumb ones with a useless head rest thing
<gorgonical>
Full-size "executive style"
<epony>
not bad
<epony>
it's good too
<epony>
just watch out for leg / thigh compression fatigue / problems
<epony>
if the cusioning on this is deep
<gorgonical>
Yeah I spend a lot of time at my computer obviously and I can't imagine trying to sit in one of these preacher chairs for that long
<epony>
I have two chairs per seat
<epony>
the only difference is the cushion tightness / depth
<epony>
the other variant would be an office chair generic style thin cushion and a comfy furniture relaxation deep cusion resting chair etc
<epony>
yours is probably the better office chair setup
<gorgonical>
It's the kind of chair with the mesh cushions
<gorgonical>
Or really not a cushion at all
<epony>
what is counter-intuitive is, deep cushioning is copressing your body so it's not suitable for work
<epony>
"compressing" the thighs mostly
<gorgonical>
Yeah I have fond memories of my youth where I used a dining room chair as my computer chair pretty comfortably
<gorgonical>
Maybe "of my youth" is an important part of that
<epony>
those are good
<kaichiuchi>
you know
<epony>
you can use add-on cushioning on these that is thin and non-compressing
<kaichiuchi>
it’s really hard to read code i didn’t write
<epony>
yeah
<epony>
it sucks
<heat>
maybe the code is just bad
<epony>
maybe it's not well structured or complex
<epony>
but the deal breaker are failures on the logic / mental modelling
<epony>
it's like paintings of others who are painting without anything to say just painting ;-)
<gorgonical>
Part of me thinks I should just modify the arms on my current chair
<gorgonical>
I could bring them in by basically an inch on each side if I did
<kaichiuchi>
the problem is I can’t log anything
<kaichiuchi>
so I have to guess
<epony>
and you see, it's even an ergonomy matter, as it affects your fatigue and perception of "good condition" / well being
<kaichiuchi>
printf() throws off the timing enough because it’s on semihosted mode
<kaichiuchi>
semihosted being “stop the world” debugging
<kaichiuchi>
bad.
<epony>
gorgonical, you can use thin pillows on those
<gorgonical>
Okay epony so the monitor height. Eyes at mid-monitor mean that you have to glance a little up and down to see the tops and bottoms, right?

so with both arms as if you would be carring the monitor with your two hands holdign it up by its sides on the lower end
<epony>
that's roughly the optimal position
<epony>
since most of the text that appears is in the lower end of the monitor
<epony>
if it's mosting on the top end (top posting etc) or interfaces that push text down and your view points are in the upper side then at about 5-10° below horizon
<kaichiuchi>
i have no idea how people actually write code professionally
<epony>
that's where your eyes should be resting
<epony>
the rationale is very simple
<epony>
your optimal focal distance is where your hands meet (nature made it that way)
<epony>
if your age / eye sight is slightly shorter adjust to that
<epony>
then when your hands rest they should be on the home row of the keyboard
<epony>
that's most of the simple alighnment of you / chair against desk-monitor-keyboard
<epony>
if everytthing is 'alright" you should be able to have posture independence between slight recline and complete upright, where the focal distance would be somewhere in the middle between these two positions
<epony>
that can get you at good "no worries" posture for 12-16 hours (with rests every 1-2 hours)

if you're not stressing this, it can go on for 20-60 years without any serious consequences other than getting quite aged ;-)

as for programming, people do that professionally as with other texts, with an linter (formatter / static analyser) and an editor (reviewer / corrector)
<epony>
and they use a "specification" and draft-outline logic rather than "whimsical musings"

yep, small adjustments can make a difference, review / adjust iteratively in small steps and compare

yah and i can tell you after 20 somethign years of bad posture and hunching over computers, fix it now!
<geist>
actually about the worst thing i've found i can do to my body is stare at a cell phone and use a laptop
<geist>
both because i end up looking down and hunched over, which kills my neck

right

ayup, laptop usage is painful. I've got my desk slightly elevated from neutral wrist position just so I've looking very slightly up, and forces me to relax the shoulders and that urge to push downward at my wrists into the rests on the keyboard
<geist>
yah when using laptop at home i have one of these little stand things that raises the laptop 3 or 4 inches and puts it at a slight incline so the screen is basically head level, and then use an external keyboard/mouse
<geist>
what kills it is sometimes i like to go hang out at a coffee shop or bar or whatnot for a while so i have to be careful there and not do too much that in too short of a time
<geist>
like 3 days in a row of a few hours is enough to cause problems for a few days

it's nuts how much my typing and mouse accuracy plummets when I switch to the laptop itself and trackpad
