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.

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

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?

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

"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

<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
