<mcrod> ok so
<mcrod> hopefully I can kill this boss
<zid> nito the ravelord is pretty easy in a bunch of different setups
<zid> but kinda hard if you just try to ram your face into him naked
<zid> tank setup, occult/divine weapon, etc are snore
<mcrod> ok I died
<mcrod> but that's because
<heat> that's because you suck
<mcrod> i didn't expect that the jump to get into the boss fight
<mcrod> would wipe out half of my health
<mcrod> .
<mcrod> i do, won't lie
<heat> fuck you
<mcrod> ds2/ds3/elden ring i'm much better at
<mcrod> well fuck you too
<zid> what about sekiro
<heat> hey you should check out the cute little skellies near the boss room
<mcrod> i did, i was horrified.
<zid> the babies are great
<mcrod> what the fuck...
<mcrod> he turns you toxic and spawns like fucking endless skeletons
<zid> also totg is funny, "remember pinwheel, from 20 seconds ago? he's a trash mob now"
<zid> skeletons revive unless you kill them with occult or divine
<mcrod> AFTER you already lose half of your health
<mcrod> from the JUMP alone
<zid> yea but
<zid> you have 20 +4 estus
<mcrod> no I don't
<mcrod> I have 5
<zid> why not
<mcrod> what do you mean why not
<zid> I mean why not
<mcrod> how do I get 20
<mcrod> oh, just keep kindling
<zid> the big text when you killed pinwheel
<mcrod> bad news though
<mcrod> no humanity
<zid> there's some in the room before nito isn't there
<mcrod> i've had to use them as emergency heals more than once.
<mcrod> i dunno
<zid> I'm used to having like 50 of them unused at this point
<zid> and sort of zone out on where they are
<zid> oh, the babies drop humanity

<heat> item duping is cool
<zid> DS:R dupe is so silly
<zid> I like the original dupe that's super limited and situational
<heat> the original dupe is limited but somehow better in certain regards
<heat> like your item doesn't fuck off
<heat> whereas in dsr you just manipulate the quantity but lose the item forever
<mcrod> the babies drop humanity
<mcrod> the undead skeleton babies drop humanity
<heat> yes

<gog> uh
<gog> i don't have an operating system
<gog> i don't even have a kernel
<heat> use onyx
<heat> enjoy brokenness
* moon-child pets gog's lack of kernel
<gog> i'm gonna reimplement onyx poorly
<heat> yes
<gog> i'm gonna call it nyx
<heat> lets build a human centipede of shit kernels
<gog> after my favorite brand of cheap makeup
<heat> better yet, call it nix
<heat> and nixos
<heat> nyx is cheap?
<mcrod> nixon
<moon-child> lol
<gog> nyx is a l'oreal group brand
<heat> and?
<gog> they were a premium brand until about 1999
<gog> then their production got rolled into the same assembly lines that make maybelline
<heat> oh man 24 bucks for a kylie lipstick
<heat> i see how nyx is cheap*er*
<zid> no, nyx is an underworld god
<gog> kylie paid some factory to make stuff to put her name on
<zid> and a capital ship in eve online
<gog> guess who else pays those factories to make products to put their name on
<gog> with apologies to rhianna
<gog> because she is trying something
<gog> she's also just putting her name on a thing that is produced by a factory that makes products for other names
<gog> makeup is a lie
<zid> I mean
<zid> that's how all products work
<heat> brb it turns out im yet again going to play video games
<zid> a dirty chinese person makes them, after some american 'invents' it

<mcrod> i've written C89 code lately
<mcrod> mommy make it stop
<nortti> apparently the gnu coding standards still recommends C89 https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Standard-C
<bslsk05> ​www.gnu.org: GNU Coding Standards
<nortti> though they also tell you how to make your code compatible with k&r compilers
<nortti> I wonder how many gnu projects follow the standards nowadays
<mcrod> some corporate embedded places still follow MISRA C 2004, which is "C89 without extensions"
<mcrod> MISRA 2012 is a little more enlightened, recommending C99
<zid> C99 ha VLAs which should be avoided
<zid> and ugly C++ comments
<zid> and people use it as an excuse to write ugly code with declarations thrown around like candy
<zid> instead of in structured locations that makes the code easier to read
<mcrod> sometimes I think you're really 60 years old
<zid> VLAs should be avoided.
<mcrod> yes i know that
<nortti> zid: WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.

<zid> "C99 with caveats"
<zid> is just "Safe C++"
RDMengineer has left #osdev [The Lounge - https://thelounge.chat]
<zid> I use C99 if I feel the code is improved by designated initializers
<zid> and C11 if I want anonymous unions
<zid> but otherwise stick to C89
<mcrod> for what it's worth, MISRA also recommends avoiding VLAs last I remember
<mcrod> some of the rules are pretty questionable, but overall it's not a bad guideline
<mcrod> C99 is useful because variadic macros, otherwise you have to do ugly things
<mcrod> e.g., maybe you have a macro like ZID_LOG_INFO("SNDLSNDLFN %s %s", gravelord, nito);
<zid> C89 has variadic macros
<mcrod> no it doesn't
<zid> oh
<mcrod> go try to use (...) or __VA_ARGS__ in C89 in a macro

Burgundy has joined #osdev
<zid> I tend to just use gnu mode, rather than locking myself to C89, so I've not ran across it, and forgor
<gog> C23
<gog> get with the times
<zid> C23 adds nothing I give a shit about, as usual
<zid> "Let's break realloc" was an interesting call
<nortti> isn't that because there are existing implementations that do two different incompatible things on that, and nobody wanted to change how they do it?
<zid> It has some okay stuff, that we needed in C99, but it's too late now and we're all using workarounds for the absence for 40 years
<zid> like, a lot of it is just.. useless
<zid> great, C23 has [[]] to implement __attribute__ with
<zid> only gnu is going to be a working C23 compiler *anyway*
<zid> msvc will still need different codepaths
<zid> so it just changes the #define NORETURN __attribute__((noreturn)) to #define NORETURN [[noreturn]] in the #ifdef GCC
<zid> and the majority of C23 is stuff like this
<zid> strdup is now C23, great, I was doing #ifdef strdup void strdup() anyway for windows, so.. nothing changes again
<nortti> don't modern MSVC do C11? that gives you _Noreturn
<zid> see!
<zid> #ifdef MSVC NORETURN _Noreturn
<nortti> or, you know
<zid> the C23 change is irrelevent
<nortti> #include <stdnoreturn.h>
<nortti> noreturn
<zid> what the fuck is that
<nortti> C11 standard way to get the keyword "noreturn"
<zid> no way
<mcrod> i feel like we just killed zid
<zid> I ignored most of C11 like I ignored most of C23, so it's possible he isn't lying, I guess?
<nortti> zid: also, you can nowadays use "inline" too, you don't need to use __attribute__((inline))
<zid> hmm?
<nortti> teasing you a bit on how you're seemingly still using hacks that have been obsolete for years, because you never bothered to look at what compilers support now
<zid> inline is C99
<nortti> indeed, the joke is me implying you'd not know that
<zid> nortti: bro, until literally a couple of years ago, msvc did not support any C99
<nortti> I still doesnt'
<nortti> *n't
<zid> I heard they added C99 support, idk how *much* C99 support
<nortti> no, it has C11 support
<sham1> Just compile with clang, brah
<nortti> code that's C11 compatible C99 can be compiled with that, but aiui there is no C99 support per se
<zid> Anyway, back to stdnoreturn.h
<mcrod> msvc is garbage anyway
<zid> that's now deprecated, and [[]] supports more than just noreturn
<mcrod> hard to believe that game developers use it
<zid> so my original point is fine still
<mcrod> it's just not something I understand
<zid> This is like, the government is hands-off on industry for 40 years, all the businesses sort of vaguely standardize on a certain width of rail gauge
<zid> then the government pops up out of nowhere and says "Oh yea, it's this other gauage nobody has ever used now, gl"
<zid> Which both has obvious problems, and also happened in reality many times.
<zid> :D
<sham1> WG14 does weird decisions for C++ compatibility, yes
<zid> Like, I don't wanna get into a chrome situation where the standard is "whatever gnu (google) says it is"
<sham1> #c has more than enough material to rant about that stuff
<zid> but they're *definitely* coming in too-late and it's very disruptive and bad
<zid> compared to the rough consensus we already had
<zid> This shit needed to happen 20 years ago
<mcrod> i'm just a little appalled at how programming is going anyway
<zid> We still don't have very basic things we've been macroing badly for 40 years, like length of an array, or endian of the host
<nortti> endian of host is standardized in C23
<zid> no it isn't? where?
<zid> no order or endian found on ctrl-
<zid> f
<mcrod> <stdbit.h>
<mcrod> __STDC_ENDIAN_BIG__, you know the rest
<zid> N3022?
<bslsk05> ​thephd.dev: C23 is Finished: Here is What is on the Menu | The Pasture
<zid> Only part of N3022 was accepted, the popcnt macros
<nortti> that is from the editor of C23, saying that endian macros made the cut
<nortti> unless they were later edited out again?
<zid> the open-std page just says (partial)
<zid> hmm wakely isn't awake
noonebtw00 has joined #osdev
<zid> I'll use em anyway as long as gcc defines them, tbh
<zid> #ifndef __STDC_ENDIAN_NATIVE__ #error
<zid> then someone can hack it out for their system to do the Right Thing
<mcrod> as least true/false/bool are finally keywords
<zid> using their makefile or whatever via -D
<zid> why is that important?
<mcrod> at*
<mcrod> it's not
<zid> It sounds like a waste of time to me
<zid> stdbool was too
<mcrod> but it was always slightly annoying that you needed stdbool.h to get... boolean support
<zid> because boolean support is pointless
<zid> C already converts everything to boolean in boolean contexts
<zid> 0 is false, everything else is true
<mcrod> i get that, but there was always this stupid debate about how to declare a "boolean"
<zid> you use stdbool for documenting that something is a boolean, not for any code support
<zid> my method was just to pretend the identifier with "is" :p
<mcrod> typedef enum { false, true } bool; vs #define false 0 #define true 1 typedef int bool; or dumb arguments like that
<zid> if(is_lagging) fairly understandable
<zid> no need for if(lagging == TRUE)

<mcrod> no one compares explicitly to true
<mcrod> I think some coding standards require that you do though
<zid> That was basically my entire point?
<zid> nobody uses the true keyword, they use the conversions
<mcrod> and my point was, some people _DO_ explicitly compare to true if they are adhering to specific coding standards in fairly widespread use
<zid> so it's just whether you get to define the size of your boolean's storage or not
<zid> which is either a bonus, or a non-conformity, however you wanna view it
<mcrod> the rationale being it is somehow more obvious that IsGravelordNitoHard() is.. a bool
<zid> but given I have literally never seen stdbool used
<mcrod> heat: wake up
<mcrod> zid I am commanding you to help me

<zid> mcrod: I use stdint when stdint is useful, aka basically never

<Ermine> It's getting robbed instead of getting an adapter

<mcrod> VPN is so fucking slow
<mcrod> jesus christ
<zid> because of very normal access patterns turning them into very good radios
<zid> like, 001100 at 2ghz is just 010 at 1GHz
<zid> it can also normalize current spiking too as an added bonus
<zid> long strings of 1 draw more power
<zid> ddr is scrambled i think
<nortti> iirc at one point computer oscillators had a little bit of intentional drift for a similar reason
<Ermine> in usb case, that means that usb+bt adapters have bt working only in usb2 mode
<zid> nortti: I'd rather imagine it was unintentional unintentional drift :p
<zid> that is to say, "It drifts" "oh okay, that's fine, probably helps with EM"

<GeDaMo> No code, no bugs
<jimbzy> ^
<zid> Yea it's a fairly simple limit problem
<zid> Code has bugs in it, so less code has fewer bugs
<zid> ergo 0 bugs -> 0 code
<gog> what about less code that compiles to more code than the same expression in another language
<gog> can we guarantee that the compiler isn't bug
<zid> means it generates more bugs per line
<zid> so should never be used
<gog> or that the underling electroinics aren't bug

<nortti> recently rewatched the birth and death of javascript, and it's kinda funny how it predicted everything moving into the browser, whereas in the real world around the same time we started shipping just N copies of chrome and doing desktop apps with the tooling
<zid> yea, chrome is just becoming the OS
<zid> it has a printer spooler, windowing toolkit, event timers, etc etc
<zid> process isolation, audio mixing
<zid> accelerated 3d graphics

<heat> mjg, how plausible is it that classic RCU with a single global lock on $data structure scales to hundreds of CPUs?
<heat> paulmck says it does, or even to the thousands range if you massage some params a bit
<heat> i find it... odd
<mjg> what does it mean "scales" in this context
<heat> doesn't contend to pieces?
<zid> c1k
<mjg> mofo
<mjg> for example, if rcu lets you avoid doing any writes to the sucker
<heat> this is a data structure that gets locked on every quiescent state
<mjg> and you never free it
<heat> oh i mean actual RCU impl, not RCU usage
<mjg> mcki himself implemented a tree-based state propagation to make it work with bignum cpus
<heat> this is basically a struct you need to look at for every quiescent state where you need to *act*
<heat> yes allegedly because the tree-based solution scales to thousands ez
<mjg> i find it plausible that when there is not much freeing going on
<mjg> this is not fucking atrocious, esp. if you extend the grace period
<mjg> to something stupidly long
<mjg> but this is unlikely to be usable in a /practical/ setting

<mcrod> yeah but I thought the same principles would apply regardless
<heat> well, different tooling
<heat> AFAIK GNU ld shits itself if you give it overlapping regions
<mcrod> i wouldn't think you could say "this *distinct section* is also part of this other *distinct section*"
<mcrod> right
<heat> as in it errors out
<heat> not the bad shits itself
<mcrod> sections I would imagine *cannot* overlap, otherwise they're not unique
