cr1901 changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, CD/floppy disk theory of operation, and the 68k CPU are also on-topic.

<andlabs> how is compiler authoring privileged

<alexisvl> dunno, you probably shouldn't be doing it as root tbh
<cr1901> Knowing the right people and having the TIME (time == money) to get access to the institutional knowledge to fast track your way to meaningful contributions
<cr1901> I'm not immune to this either, btw

<andlabs> that has nothing to do with compiler design
<andlabs> it is a thing about programming in general, especially project contribution
<andlabs> or maybe high-scale undertakings
<andlabs> but like
<andlabs> no
<andlabs> make your hobby language compiler
<andlabs> make you rhobby C compiler
<andlabs> no one should stop you
<andlabs> steal a pdf of the dragon books if you think you need them to get started
<andlabs> and it is not going to harm computing as a whole
<andlabs> unless the original argument was basically the xkcd 'standards' argument?

<alexisvl> having the time to make things as a hobby project is _definitely_ a privilege, but that doesn't make it a bad thing. It's a privilege more people should have.
<qu1j0t3> ya well said
<alexisvl> "fiddling while rome burns" is a pretty unfair characterization, as if the people making compilers are the ones who made rome burn, or could stop the burning if they'd just put down their silly toys
<alexisvl> but it's 100% a privilege

<Sarayan> "Fiddling while the rom is burning" otoh is just usual when you play with eproms ;-)
<qu1j0t3> hahaha very nice
<alexisvl> ha
<q3k> Sarayan: godlike
<alexisvl> i have to remember that line.
<qu1j0t3> I mean, burning a rom is doing violins to bits
<Sarayan> qu1j0t3...
<alexisvl> i hate you
* qu1j0t3 gets his coat
* Sarayan burns the coat
<alexisvl> :)
<andlabs> good
<andlabs> I mean the software is technically called 'nero burning rom'
<andlabs> and yes I agree with alexisvl
<andlabs> oh apparentlyt hat is the joke
<andlabs> shrug

<alexisvl> <andlabs> I mean the software is technically called 'nero burning rom' <--- I *never* noticed that until like... this year. Like I knew what it was called but my dumb kid ass never made the connection :D
