<jimbzy> I've forgotten how to change my autojoin script, so I just keep coming back.
<mjg> good reason as any innit
<mjg> i idled for several months on python despite not writing anything but lolcode
<mjg> and even that was for few days
<mjg> but then again, no clout for python
<jimbzy> There's a lot of knowledge to be gleaned by idling, too.
<mjg> i don't think that works
<mjg> i think it is on par with learning a new language by solving roblems on project euler
<mjg> :d
<jimbzy> Especially if it's Esperanto...
frkzoid has joined #osdev
<mjg> people "learn" a lot by injesting content like numberphile
<mjg> but ask them to do a high school math problem
<jimbzy> I'm being serious, though. Reading conversations in these channels has opened my mind to all sorts of possibilities.
<mjg> i'm saying random tidbits without 1. practice 2. ... which makes sense
<mjg> does not equate to gaining knowledge
<mjg> you are playing a telephone game with yourself
<jimbzy> We actually ran into that in several of my math courses in college. We used learning software, but the exams were on paper and people couldn't do them.
<mjg> people also watch university lectures from mit, harvard adn so on
<mjg> first 1-2 of a course
<jimbzy> You could "game" the software to get the answer, but you didn't learn anything. I worked everything on paper and it really helped me understand the material. I even bought the "Big Big of Whatever Problems" to practice.
<jimbzy> Big Book, rather
<mjg> and then cs grads take the cake
<mjg> finished by copy pasting for years
<jimbzy> Now they're full-stack(exchange) developers.
<mjg> product-minded
<mjg> with a track to become a manager intsead
<jimbzy> Nobody in my CS courses were actually interested in C or S. :p
<mjg> tell me about it
<mjg> i got 180 people my freshman year
<mjg> counted like 5 interested in any of it
<jimbzy> It was bizarre, really. I tried several times to put together a class project on the side and nobody was interested. :(
<mjg> even if i missed half, that's still a laughable percentage
<mjg> not only fucking twats knew nothing, they were giving me shit for "showing off" in operating systems course
<mjg> hope for humanity => lost
<jimbzy> I think that's why my professors liked me. I was interested in every course I took.
<jimbzy> I had one that only lasted 1 semester. He was a former MCI developer who worshiped at the altar of Perl. Dude was brilliant, but the kids didn't care because they wanted to learn "coding". :(
<mjg> well which people were most likely to graduate
<mjg> guess*
<jimbzy> Honestly, if you showed up and made the bare minimum of effort you'd graduate. :p
<mjg> bare minimum == keep showing up for attendance points, but only if you can't fake presence
<mjg> submit copy-pasted homework
<mjg> cheat on finals
<mjg> did i miss soethig
<jimbzy> Nope. That's about the size of it.
<mjg> hey you know how i GOT USED IN COLLEGE
<mjg> i had a thing going with a female student elsewhere, i wrote a project for her
<mjg> turns out she got other dudez to do other work as well
* mjg feels violated
<mjg> she was a massive slut as i turned out
<mjg> it*
<jimbzy> I was like 2x their age by the time I got around to attending, so that wasn't an issue for me.
<jimbzy> I know it pissed a lot of people off because they were hot shit at their HS, and then they encountered GED jimbzy. XD
slidercrank has quit [Quit: Why not ask me about Sevastopol's safety protocols?]
<mjg> being hot shit at your high school is liek not an ccomplishment
<jimbzy> Apparently it is these days, or at least they make it seem that way.
<mjg> change of pace in calculus and algebra shows you are a run of the mill idiot
<mjg> who acutally has to study
<Cindy> jimbzy: learn "coding"?
<jimbzy> Cindy, Yep.
<Cindy> that's like a football star having kids that just wanna learn how to kick a ball
<mjg> big fish small pond
<mjg> or so
<jimbzy> mjg, I literally had to start with Pre-Algebra. :P The maths department noticed I was doing well in those remedial courses and they reached out to help me.
<mjg> i remember feeling cheated after meeting some coworkers with let's say better pedigree
<mjg> all of them had some phd or similar tutoring them thorought high school
<mjg> in math and physics
<mjg> so by the time they got to college they already knew all the material
<mjg> they even used the same exercise sets
<mjg> i don't know about elsewhere, but in poland first semesters are very not-cs heavy
<mjg> and they got majority of it out of the way
<jimbzy> Yeah, it was kind of like that at my first school, too.
<mjg> i suspect these are the cheapest to start with
<mjg> with the expectation most people wont pass anyway
<mjg> at least originally :p
<jimbzy> Yeah. I took all my general education courses there before transferring to university.
<mjg> my roommate at the time was studying math
<mjg> he kept complaining about the course not being theoretical enough
<mjg> later he became a teaching assistant and kept shitting on math majors for being bad
<jimbzy> Applied mathematics is a thing.
<mjg> it is, but that's NOT what he was studying
<mjg> nor teaching
<mjg> the problem is, or at least was at the time, that people would mass attend universities
<mjg> just *anything* which would let them enroll
<mjg> and unis increased enrollment limits to get more money
<jimbzy> Yeah
<mjg> so you kept getting people who are genuinely not fit for the thing at hand
<mjg> fun fact, at some point a significant number of hs grads failed the SAT-equivalent
<mjg> you need to score 30% to pass or similar
<mjg> so the government LOWERED the number to get more people to pass
<mjg> keep these enrollments goin'
qfive has joined #osdev
<jimbzy> Yeah we get that here, too.
<mjg> so back in my day the primary driving force for higher educaiton for men was compulsory military service
<mjg> which would be delayed if you were studying
<mjg> with rumors that it is going to get abolished anyway
<mjg> i myself kept enrolling and not really studying just to dodge it
<mjg> :]
<mjg> besides that you get health insurance and various discounts (e.g., fr public transport)
<mjg> as long as you are below 25 and a student

<jimbzy> I thought about majoring in math, but my calculus professor suggested I sit in on a few of her modern algebra classes and it was just too much for me. I probably could have gotten through it with brute force, but I don't think I would have ever been proficient.
<mjg> so people keep enrolling and working jobs which fail to cover their helath insurance
<jimbzy> She saved me quite a bit of time and money.
<mjg> i was consiering math for a short period, but i know i don't have what it takes and most of it was not that interesting anyway
<mjg> i like logic, absolute despite geometry, topology
<mjg> calculus is hit or miss
<jimbzy> I'm proud of the fact that I made it through calculus and linear algebra.
<mjg> absolutely*
* mjg burps
<mjg> i was the first student wave which did not have integrals in high school

<jimbzy> 100% dedicate to her family and her students. Honestly, I think she considered them to be the same most of the time. :P
<mjg> weird
<mjg> i mean must have been great ;)
<mjg> i had a physics lecturer who kept ranting how most students are idiots
<mjg> albeit using slightly softer wording
<mjg> that is /nowadays/ students are idiots, prior to educaiton reform it was freaking amazing
<jimbzy> It's the push towards STEM.
<mjg> he would give us an exercise and then rant how in the past /candidates/ would be expected to solve it in less than a minute
<mjg> but now the uni cannot give a physics test for cs candidates
<mjg> :d
<jimbzy> I regret not taking general physics.
<jimbzy> I wanted to, but I had to be economical with my funding and it just never happened.
<mjg> i partially regret not listening to my hs teachers
<mjg> i never did homework and whatnot. one told me i may be doing fine in high school, but i'm going to regert not putting effort when i get to college
<mjg> 100% on the money
<jimbzy> I regret not taking high school. :P
<mjg> high school is the shit man
<mjg> people like to think college is the shit, but if ocllege is the shit you are probably wasting your time over there
<mjg> by not learning
<jimbzy> I had to drop out and go to work.
<mjg> shit happens inint
<jimbzy> Yep.
<jimbzy> I think that made me apply myself when I finally did go to college, though.
<mjg> applying yourself is for nerds
<jimbzy> I resemble that remark.

<mjg> > As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, comparing the speed of two different processor architectures like the Motorola 68k and Itanium 64 is not straightforward, as their performance can vary significantly depending on the specific task, clock speed, microarchitecture, and other factors.
<mjg> not as clear cut as i have thought
<heat> what is faster: itanium or the speed of light
<mjg> where are the itanium fans to weigh in on this
<heat> the answer is obvious, it's ITAAAAAAAANIUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMM
<mjg> there you go mofo: what is faster: motorola 68k or pentium 3 700 mhz
<mjg> > In terms of raw processing power and overall performance, the Pentium 3 700 MHz processor is significantly faster than the Motorola 68k (Motorola 68000) processor. The Pentium 3 was a more modern and advanced microarchitecture developed by Intel in the late 1990s, while the Motorola 68000 series processors are older and belong to a different era of computing.

<heat> bye
<geist> you ever get one of tese emails from academia asking about your github roject?
<geist> i just got one that appears to come from purdue asking why i'm not using <some software engineering practice>
<heat> yep
<geist> but it's even worse, it's written in this kinda rude way, like 'fill out this questionaire as to why you're not using <software engineering practice>'
<heat> lol
<heat> what practice is it?
<heat> is it TDD? can we all have a laugh?
<heat> OH WAIT I KNOW
<heat> WHY IS IT NOT WRITTEN IN RUST
<geist> SAST
<geist> it's like 'we want to understand why you're not using SAST'
<geist> annnd what's SAST?
<heat> that's substancially less funny
<geist> (static analysis security testing
<geist> ) apparently
<geist> and yeah not rust alas
<mcrod> they do that?
<mcrod> like, universities just email random people and say "why aren't you doing this in your spare time"
<geist> like all thigs like this i assume it's a scam, but probalby just some grad student
<geist> oh yeah i get these fairly frequently
<mcrod> well
<geist> well, msot of the time it's some grad student asking about some thing
<mcrod> you're also not exactly a small fish in the pond
<geist> but a software engineering style thing usually, lile they just emailed the owners of any github project
<geist> 'fairly frequently' probably really means like once every 3 months, but i notice it enough
xenos1984 has joined #osdev
<geist> well huh. twitter actually went and changed their logo to the X windows logo
<geist> i thought that was a joke
<heat> it's not a joke
<heat> unfortunately
lanodan has joined #osdev
<heat> you still tweet though
<heat> this is the shittiest publicity stunt ever
<geist> yeah i dunno wht you'd otherwise do. (insert obscure X windows send message api)
<mjg> geist: i'd like to interject for a moment. what you are referringto as x windows, is in fact named x window. no s at the end.
<geist> well also to be fair the X character they're using isn't really X window anyway, it's some mathematical thing
<bslsk05> ​twitter: <PopBase> San Francisco Police shuts down operation to remove Twitter’s name from X headquarters as Elon Musk reportedly didn’t get permit for all the equipment on the street. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F10_a_qaAAADStC.jpg https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1683571568734240768/vid/720x1280/unCrTKFKzXII8e9T.mp4?tag=14
<clever> and the police already got involved
<mjg> wtf they really got the logo
<clever> they didnt get permission to block the street, when changing the logo on HQ
<bslsk05> ​Note by Wayland.social: "Welcome to Wayland.social: the successor to X.com."
<mjg> lmao
<geist> wow.
<geist> i mean i dont really care except folks still occasionally send me links to tweets tat are actually interesting, etc

<mcrod> hm
<heat> i still think mastodon kinda sucks
<mcrod> i'm starting to really believe that embedded work is going out of style
<mcrod> judging by my casual browsing of various job posting sites
<geist> i think my general concern is embedded probably involves working directly with in-house hardware, which means no remote positions
<mcrod> well i'm remote, but I can take the unit home and I have JTAG equipment here that they provide
<mjg> it was always out of style
<mcrod> but the thing i work on is the size of a newborn
<mjg> what is in style is crud etc.
<mcrod> hybrid remote, I should clarify
<heat> i assume most of the market is !embedded
<heat> which really makes sense
<mcrod> shut up it's the best field :(
<heat> no, the best field is kernal
<heat> kernal devleop
<geist> well by volume sure, but i think there's always been a solid need to embedded
<geist> and it's somewhat specialized and thus if you have the skills you're in demand
<mjg> well
<mjg> being in demand does not mean they pay well
<mjg> some areas just suck
<mcrod> to be clear i'm not looking for a job any time soon
<heat> it does if you squeeze them hard enough
<mcrod> i'm just seeing what's really around, because this job came to me on a silver platter
<heat> and for some reason they can't move to india or china
<mcrod> a phone call I never expected
<mcrod> and I never really bothered to *look* to see what's really around
<mcrod> and I'm near philly
<mcrod> and I can't find anything decent except maybe 3-4 companies
<mjg> unless you have a kink you need to get out
<heat> call me mcrod
<mcrod> it's all webshit
<mcrod> mjg: i like embedded stuff
<heat> i have a huge opportunity for you, i have blockchain ideas, you write blockchain code
<heat> we split 80/20 ok?
<mcrod> my boss is also the chillest dude I've ever known
<mcrod> heat: ok
<geist> 1st world problem: bemoaning only getting 50MB/sec when downloading something off the internet onto an NFS share wit a 1gbe nic
<heat> my laptop really starts struggling around that speed when downloading steam games
<geist> over wifi? that's pretty solid
<heat> no, ethernet
<mjg> back in my day you were happy with 2KB/s
<heat> i can't get anywhere near that over wifi lol

<geist> yah if i'm sitting in the same room i can get there, but only one of my APs is 802.11ax
<geist> and only my mac laptop can do it
<heat> 5GHz works fine-ish but the range drops off really quickly, and on the other side of the house
<heat> any attempt to get decent networking here has failed
<geist> yah, doesn't go through the walls of my house very well at all
<mcrod> i remember the first day i got on DSL
<geist> solid logs on the log cabin
<mcrod> and was stunned that mom was on the phone and AOL didn't die
<heat> yeah and my walls are thick as shit
<geist> really attenuates 5ghz
<heat> this aint no american house
<mcrod> wut
<mcrod> my walls are concrete
<heat> if i punch a wall, i go the the hospital
<geist> same here bruh
<mcrod> my house is a brick house too
<geist> lets have a wall punching contest bruh
<mcrod> the loser has to go to a rust conference
<gog> hi
<mcrod> hi gog
<geist> it's gog
<heat> >the loser has to go to a rust conference
<heat> too risky, im out
<gog> geist: why aren't you using SAST
xenos1984 has joined #osdev
<gog> the fuck is wrong with you
<gog> everybody's using it doncha now
<geist> SAAAAAST
<gog> SAAAAAAAAAST
<heat> anyway my powerline adapter is kinda garbage, my wifi extenders are also garbage
<geist> if you use rust you instantly get SAST
<gog> RUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST
<heat> RAST

<mcrod> my new desk came in today
<mcrod> it is the heaviest package that has ever come into this house.
<geist> standing desk? those can be heavy as shit
<mcrod> nope
<mcrod> L-shaped desk
<geist> ooooh L shapeds desks are the best
eroux has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
<mcrod> i've never had one and I'm stoked to have one
<mcrod> I have a silly arozzi arena gaming desk
<geist> best thing about L desks is you can put your monitor in the corner and put your desktop behind it
<geist> gets your shit off the ground
heat has joined #osdev
<mcrod> yeah my PC is on the ground
<mcrod> not good
<bslsk05> ​www.gnu.org: Single-Threaded (The GNU C Library)
<geist> stops heating up your legs, etc too
<geist> heat: huh. wow
<heat> i've seen stuff like this for like, locking
<mjg> 8[
<heat> but atomic vs non-atomic? really weird usage
<heat> probably a heck of a lot slower if you didn't warm it up
<mjg> skipping atomics is always faster than not skipipng them and /plausibly/ the cache miss is mostly eaten with the atomic cost
<mjg> erm, branch predcitor misss
<mjg> but f-word me
<heat> really?
eroux has joined #osdev
<mjg> on amd64 speculative execution stops across the atomic
<mjg> store buffer gets flushed and so on
<heat> really?
<heat> x86 is broken
<mjg> it is how it ends up providing a full barrier
<geist> yeah there isn't a relaxed version of it on x86
<mjg> so ye, /plausibly/ the total overhead stemming from having to deal with the atomic will eat that branch mispredict
hmmmm has joined #osdev
<mjg> making it "free"
<mjg> the real q tho is wtf you doin

<kazinsal> intel will continue to design new version of AVX and then end up fragmenting them across their entire product stack
<kazinsal> meanwhile, AMD will implement every subset on everything from APUs to hyperscale HPC
<Cindy> intel sucks
<kazinsal> there's a table on the wikipedia article for AVX512 where it shows that every intel arch that implements it only implements a handful of subsets
<kazinsal> until you get to sapphire rapids, which is the most recent Xeon uarch
