<zid>
ah, in english that'd be BSD
* vdamewood

* gog
chomps fishe
<zid>
I'm a BSD, Bastard Stack Developer
<vdamewood>
Interesting thing about BSD, the first BSD release was just a collection of userland tools for AT&T Unix.
<zid>
makes sense
<vdamewood>
I don't know when BSD first included a kernel patch.
<Ermine>
hence 'software distribution'?
<vdamewood>
Ermine: Pretty much, yep.
<netbsduser``>
what's charming about bsd is that they hack away on a piece of proprietary software for over a decade, tremendously improving it, they release the resultant ship of theseus as open source, USL gets upset, but they effectively counter-sue them and come to a settlement that both sides make some changes and their software is regarded as golden
<vdamewood>
I have the BSD source code on CD, but I'm too lazy to find my Optical drive, plug it in, and hunt through the sources for the first BSD kernel.
<GeDaMo>
It might be on archive.org
<nortti>
3bsd had kernel modifications at least, since it included paging virtual memory support. dunno if 2bsd releases before 3bsd had made any
<vdamewood>
Though, the Ship of Theseus wasn't completely replaced at Berkely, 4.4BSD came in two flavours, one still had AT&T source code in it, and the other wasn't a complete system.
<vdamewood>
I have no idea why I spelled flavor with a U there. I'm a Usian.
<zid>
That there's no exonym for usaian boils my piss
<vdamewood>
We don't really have an endonym either.
<zid>
merican, said in english
<nikolar>
Is usonian better
<zid>
but you can't use it as an exonym because it also includes canada and all of south america, technically
<vdamewood>
Esperanto uses Usonano.
<vdamewood>
In Spanish (at least in Mexico), they use Estadounidense.
<zid>
hehe, dense
<nikolar>
Wasn't there a movement at some point in us to change the endonym to usonian or something similar
<vdamewood>
nikolar: I think it was a somewhat fringe movement.
<netbsduser``>
vdamewood: what i like about it especially is that the result of the rewriting is still in clear continuity with the historic unix
<vdamewood>
zid: Alas, within the US, 'yank[ee]' refers to a specific regeion.
<zid>
that's fine
<zid>
it's an exonym

Yeah, -go is language.
<zid>

<zid>
but.. that's just a regular key
<gog>
µ
<zid>
maybe it's a broken port of the composite key
<vdamewood>
zid: For example, é is Option-E e (option what Alt is called in the mac world)
<zid>
that should absolutely not do that, to be consistent with all other keys
<zid>
vdamewood: That's called a compose key
<zid>
it mimics using a typewriter
<zid>
to not advance the carriage
<vdamewood>
I've heard it called a 'dead key' for the same reason.
<zid>
yea
<vdamewood>
It's 'dead' in that it doesn't advance the carriage.

zid> I hate windows' layouts < zid> I have altgr but it only lets me type éúíóᦀ ← finnish keyboard layout used to be the same as swedish back in the early days of computing, but in 2006 (designed) to 2008 (ratified as a standard) we finally got a new keyboard layout that included, y'know, all the letters required for writing finnish (you could not type š and ž on the old swedish-based
<zid>
that's shift 3 for me, which I think is what # is on enus
<nortti>
keyboard layout). the new layout is a superset of the old one, so there's really no reason not to switch to it, and all the linux distributions et al did so by early 2010s. microsoft, on the other hand, still ships the old keyboard layout and the most official place to get the modern one is still someone's personal homepage https://jkorpela.fi/sfs5966.html
<zid>
nortti: yea I'd rather die than try to program on that
<nortti>
I love how it puts ö on the usual spot for 0 and then moves 0 all the way to the left
<zid>
main difference between us and uk layout is " and @ are swapped, and # is on its own key, and shift-3 is £
<vdamewood>
zid: Yeah, in the US, Shift-3 is instead the pound sign.
<zid>
windows doesn't let you remove enUS layout at all so occasionally I will accidentally switch into it, often enough that I know the US layout differences too
<nortti>
also ~ is shift-# and not shift-` going by the labers on my computer

I'm typing htem all.
<zid>
the world settled on utf-8 a long time ago, anyone using shift-jis or ucs2 can go suck a dog
<vdamewood>
Well, some of these characters aren't single code-points in Unicode, and use combining diacritical marks, which some fonts or systems have trouple rendering.
<vdamewood>
Like the Eth with Cedilla for example.
<zid>
they're actually all apparently just part of fixedsys, even

the font substition hasn't kicked in for me

if you type something REALLY weird, windows will pull it out of a different font

that does have that glyph

I bet there's sitll like anotehr few thousand lines of simplifications that can happen in -mm now too

nah

ia64 had lots of edge cases that maybe people don't realize existed only because of ia64
<heat>
all architectures have em
<heat>
x86 has some weird inverted-PTE shit they're doing, for some reason
<zid>
all architectures have edge cases that people don't realize exist because of itanium? wat?
<heat>
for speculation I think
<zid>
I'm saying there are features not *named*_IA64_ in there, that exist for IA64 to use
<heat>
all architectures have weird mm edgecases
<zid>
that have probably slipped through this big removal patchset
<heat>
IA64 was probably fairly clean since they do not use radix-like page tables at all
<zid>
nah ia64 had a bunch of shit people were always complaining about
<zid>
a bunch of which came up in that thread before
<zid>
"yea I'd like to see it gone, most of this file exists just because ia64 does something different" etc
<heat>
i had the impression most of the problem was just patch overhead (patch for one arch, patch for all)

but maybe im wrong

Your kernel is as weird as your weirdest architecture

and ia64 had that crown in a lot of files

surely the weirdest is alpha

yah alpha i missed. the only thing i never fully grokked was the whole PALcode thing. specifically which palcode you load for what, and precisely which version offloads what
<geist>
thing though is alpha is somewhat special to linux
<geist>
it's the second architecture it was ever ported to. linux 2.0
<geist>
so it has probalby a fairly wide influence on core design

timeline lines up too, alpha was a Super Big Deal in the mid 1990s

<mcrod`>
you had a good run geist
* mcrod`
pet
<geist>
but then the next scene of the dream i found myself back at work and a bit ashamed that i came back
<heat>
mcrod`, llvm is largely a corporate project
<mcrod`>
still awful
<geist>
right
<heat>
an example, with firmware: tianocore is completely corporate backed so there's really no community and very few people give a shit. coreboot has a very large community (apart from the few corps that do use it) and as such IRC/email is responsive
gbowne1 has joined #osdev
<geist>
yeah that's the problem. even well meaning corporate teams that start contributing to a project i think have a chilling effect
<heat>
as such for tianocore if you report a problem sometimes someone tells you to file a bug on the bugzilla, that someone will eventually look at
<geist>
even if they mean well, think they're doing everyone a favor, it's like this big quiet elephant that comes in the room, sucks up all the air, and then everyone else feels left out
<heat>
but few people will ever step out of their "zones" so to speak. I.e Intel isn't reviewing AMD/ARM code ("they're not paid to")
<geist>
precisely
<geist>
that sets in almost immediately
<geist>
they're not in it for the general health of the project, they're in it for their needs
<geist>
it may mean the overall project gets a lot of help, work, ends up being better than before, but stuff tends to be somewhat more specialized, because companies have their goals
<geist>
i've been and am on the corporate side of that a few timse, and it's really disheartening (to me)
<geist>
you see the damage you're doing
<heat>
it gets help but if the project is corporate enough (or was born as a corporate thing) it'll end up affecting things in the long run
<heat>
as soon as work sets in it seems that people get very... pragmatic
<geist>
all this being said the llvm team on our project is quite good, and they actively try not to break things
<geist>
but the tasks they choose to work on are clearly for teh benefit of us, and they're not paid to generically solve community problems
<geist>
though i dont really speak for them
<mcrod`>
well, I'm trying not to complain here
<mcrod`>
the most I'll say is their documentation is sorely lacking
<mcrod`>
at least for the cmake stuff
<heat>
i know it is
<heat>
have you seen the compiler option docs?
<geist>
that is definitely true. it's surprising hjow much of the switches/pragmas/builtins/etc end up coming out of gcc docs

did they ever consider writing equivalent x86 assembly
<heat>
or did that not fit into the 90s equivalent of KPI
<netbsduser``>
and they had no idea what to do now about an OS for Alpha, until nancy kronenberg interrupted a meeting by crying out "vms is NOT the vax, and the vax is NOT vms"

that being said i think alpha came into existance a bit after cutler left. they were working on prism, which was shelved, and caused him to quit
<geist>
and then a few years later they revived it into alpha

geist: yeah, I'm still about halfway through the dave cutler interview and his ability to precisely remember the tiniest details of stuff he wrote half a century ago is just incredible. I can barely remember what I had for lunch yesterday
<geist>
yeah even details about some project he worked on for some other company, and what the other company was doing, etc
<heat>
I mentioned POSIX in the mailing list and linus recalled a tiny dispute between linux and POSIX where the API in POSIX was wrong and why
<heat>
some people just do be like that
<heat>
nothing compared to the high level chess players that recall games played 50 years ago by 2 randos
<geist>
also unsurprising linus would remember some dispute too
<kazinsal>
cutler: "that reminds me of this really cool thing my team and I built out of baling twine and two PDP-10s"
<heat>
mofo recalled it and wrote a whole essay email about it in 15 minutes
<kazinsal>
torvalds: "that reminds me of the time I told a standards body to fuck themselves with a rusty pitchfork"
<mcrod`>
stupid question
<mcrod`>
does anyone know how to rewrite history on git, in the sense that I don't want the 40 commits of "CI test" on my repo
<mcrod`>
or am I, in fact, stuck with that
<heat>
al viro: "that reminds me of the time I called someone an obnoxious cunt plonk"
<kazinsal>
squash your commits
<heat>
yeah rebase and squash, the git push --force
<heat>
then*
<mcrod`>
ok
<mcrod`>
thanks
<geist>
keep in mind anyone that may be following your repo will be upset at you
<mcrod`>
no one is
<geist>
but if you dont care, or these are CLs you haven't pushed upstream, go to town
<mcrod`>
:p
<mcrod`>
I'm entirely still fucking with github CI pipeline
<heat>
fyi you could've just amended and git push --force'd back when you were testing things. or various git commit --fixup=hash, then git rebase -i --autosquash HEAD~40 would've auto squashed everything ez
<kazinsal>
git just-make-it-look-nice
<mcrod`>
i was so close to getting the tarball to upload
<mcrod`>
but alas... can't find it for some reason
<geist>
also you should try to get familiar with `git rebase -i`
<geist>
very very powerful stuff
<mcrod`>
yes it'd be cool
<heat>
something I accidentally learned: always pass --autosquash
<heat>
autosquash does not just mean "interpret !fixup and shit"
<mcrod`>
also
<heat>
wait, no
<heat>
i think it was -i, you always want -i
<geist>
right, -i
<geist>
autosquash i dunno is a good idea
<mcrod`>
i'm slightly convinced that shared libraries (wrt qt, sdl etc) are your best bet on linux and friends
<heat>
anyway I always pass -i --autosquash
<mcrod`>
because there is simply no way you can possibly keep up with the random breakage of shit
<heat>
geist, why?
<geist>
well, to be honest i dont know autosquash, so i'm talkin out my butt
* gog
squashes heat
<geist>
but in general auto- anything is a bit risky
<kazinsal>
autosquash searched for commits with tags like fixup! and selects those
<heat>
yeah
<kazinsal>
if you pass -i it still goes through the interactive rebase
<kazinsal>
so it's not always applicable, but it saves you some time cherry-picking commits
<geist>
ah i see,
<geist>
okay, that's kinda nice then
