SpeedEvilqt stuff is not quite wasted on sybian00:00
SpeedEvilsymbina00:00
DocScrutinizerI think android is a waste of time, but .. that's just me ;-D00:00
corecodedoes anybody have updated telepathy-gabble packages?00:00
rlyI closed HAM, but it still says E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?00:00
ShadowJKqt also works on lunix desktop and windows desktop00:00
rlyHmm, it is just slow.00:01
DocScrutinizerrly: apt-worker needs up to 5min to finish00:01
*** drussell has joined #maemo00:01
rlyThe GUI was gone, but it was still open. Odd semantics.00:01
rlyDocScrutinizer: apt-worker was done.00:01
rlyDocScrutinizer: top via ssh.00:01
rlyMeh, no gdb700:01
rlyStill, cool that it actually works :)00:02
*** andre103 has quit IRC00:02
merlin1991rly: the autoupdate "feature" lets apt-worker spinn in the bg from time to time00:04
rlyIs there also a simulator for the n900?00:04
rlyOr a way to install all the debugging symbols for everything dependent on browserd?00:05
Sicelosdk, i suppose00:05

MacerDocScrutinizer: lol... i thought the url said it all00:27
Macerthe nokia n900 battery drop didn't give it away?00:28
Macerafter i was explaining how my battery went from 60 to 0.4.. and how wordpress wouldn't let me upload a png for the screenshot?00:28
DocScrutinizeryou didn't00:30
DocScrutinizeror I missed that, or it dropped off my stack00:30
Macerheh00:31
DocScrutinizermaybe you mixed channels00:31
*** zap_ has quit IRC00:32
*** jrocha has joined #maemo00:34
DocScrutinizeryou had a proper story in #maemo-ssu00:35
DocScrutinizerand nobody complained about posting an URL there00:35

MacerDocScrutinizer: for future reference i would never post a link in the # unrelated to maemo or at the very least a mobile device which is related to something maemo does00:44
DocScrutinizerMacer: doesn't help. I'm still not clear about what's that URL00:45
Macerit is the battery eye graph of my battery going from 60 to 0.4 in 1 second00:45
DocScrutinizerso I still have the choice to ignore it or click it to find out what it might be00:45
*** zap_ has joined #maemo00:45
DocScrutinizersee, it's easy to get a nice URL post instead of an annoying ome :-D00:45
Macerthe url had the name of it in the url lol00:46
DocScrutinizerthis one sentence would have made a whole lot of a difference00:46
Macerah well.. to each their own :)00:46
*** norayr has quit IRC00:47
Maceri just left it on until it turned off on its own and am hoping the calibration fixes itself00:47
*** dos1 has quit IRC00:47
DocScrutinizerdepends on what this battery mon tool is using as data source00:48
DocScrutinizerwhen it's bq27200, then it's rather normal and next time should be better00:49
DocScrutinizerI.E. bq27200 will calibrate00:49
DocScrutinizerit probably just switched from xx% to 5% when voltage reached the discharge threshold00:49
*** vdv has quit IRC00:50
*** jef91 has left #maemo00:50
DocScrutinizerif otoh the data source was bme/hal then ... oh well it's anybody's guess00:50
Macerheh00:50
Macerit was just so steep00:51
Macernot only that but my bme advanced power applet as well as the battery widget that uses bme saw it dive00:52
Macerbut then it stayed at 0.4 for like an hour and stayed there .. phone on...  high usage00:52
DocScrutinizerMacer: bq27200 switches from 100% to 5% happily when voltage reaches discharge threshold00:52
Maceri see00:53
DocScrutinizerhmm, battery staying at 0.4% for an hour of heavy usage is a bit weird. Probably that's been some of bme's lies then00:53

mr_jrtUsed for uploading to extras-devel03:12
DocScrutinizererrr, some place to drop project sources for buildhost?03:12
merlin1991I've always used the assistant :D03:12
mr_jrt...and in this case, used for git access to my garage project03:12
* DocScrutinizer too03:12
merlin1991GET LOST APT-WORKER03:13
DocScrutinizerLOL03:13
merlin1991srly what the fuck does he do now? ham just updated the package list and read the dependencies03:13
mr_jrtHmm. Seems I can't get talk.maemo.org either.03:13
DocScrutinizerand apt-worker redoes all that again and again03:14

DocScrutinizerXXX-rated03:17
DocScrutinizer;-P03:17
mr_jrtWeird...it's just the maemo domains.03:21
merlin1991it's scheme03:21
merlin1991nokia is disabling the dns entires region by region! ;)03:22
mr_jrtIt's definately asking nokia's nameservers :S - Anyone care to flush their cache and try for me?03:27
*** penguinbait has quit IRC03:32
jonwilbah, if I start nokia-maps from a command line, it wont display any UI. Which means I cant strace the damn thing'03:36
SpeedEvilstrace -p03:38
jonwilexcept that I need to strace it right when it first loads03:38
SpeedEvilah03:38
jonwilbefore it even opens any files03:38
jonwilso I can find out every map-related file it opens03:38
mr_jrtHmmm :) It's anything on nokia's nameservers that has stopped working. At least it's not just maemo ;) How weird.03:38
SpeedEviljonwil: Aren't all the maps in the cache dir?03:39
jonwilI know where the map files are03:39
SpeedEvilyou're not trying to RE the map ormat?03:39
jonwilwell trying to find where and how the railway stations get drawn on the map03:39
SpeedEvilWhy?03:39
jonwilI want to modify the Nokia Maps HTML and use the Google GTFS data my transit operator makes available to print bus stops and related info on the map03:40
mr_jrtChanging my mtu to something else and back again seems to have fixed it....:S03:40
jonwilsince no maemo mapping program can use such information03:40
SpeedEvilNokia maps html?03:40
jonwilNokia maps uses a browser widget to render03:41
jonwiland a large index.html file03:41
jonwilsomeone already extended said html file as a project called nokia-maps-extras03:41
jonwilyou follow?03:46

chrissbxHello. I'm looking for an alarm clock that can play mp3s, or fm radio.04:10
chrissbxI've been searching around for an hour now; flip clock just doesn't work (doesn't even appear anymore); the builtin clock of the n800 doesn't seem to have any alarm at all;04:11
chrissbxand all the fm radio and internet radio alarm clock project ideas seem to never have gotten anywhere;04:11
chrissbxand the suggestion to use "alarmed" doesn't help me as the program manager doesn't find it.04:12
chrissbxAny ideas?04:12
DocScrutinizererr, the alarm on diablo wasn't that bad, had even a method to select arbitrary mp3 files to play for alarm sound. Just it stopped alarm too early04:13
*** jeverling has joined #maemo04:13
chrissbxI'm running the 2008 OS, I think; what's diablo?04:13
DocScrutinizerchrissbx: anyeay you should make clear you're talking about diablo, not fremantle. Not very usual here nowadays04:14
DocScrutinizerOS2008 == diablo04:14
chrissbxk, what's the newest that can be run on the n800?04:14
DocScrutinizererr diablo04:14
chrissbxor, best04:14
chrissbxwell, then no alarm clock I guess.04:14
DocScrutinizerwith CSSU updtaes maybe04:14
DocScrutinizerthere is alarms in clock04:15
chrissbxHm.04:15
chrissbxah in the menu (hm I'm stupid)04:15

chrissbxWell I guess I'll just give up, he was interested in fm radio alarm anyway.04:32

DocScrutinizera *good* alarm clock still was a nice project04:45
DocScrutinizerfor N8x0 it is an ideal project04:46
*** jeverling has joined #maemo04:46

luke-jra *working* alarm clock would be nice :/04:52
luke-jrN900 Maemo only works when it isn't important -.-04:53
SpeedEvilI find my n900 alarm quite reliable.04:54
luke-jrI find it reliable for work meetings that I can afford to forget04:55
luke-jrI find it never works overnight when I need to wake up.04:55
luke-jrsleep-state related? shrug04:55
DocScrutinizerrelated to alarm time limited to 60s or sth04:56
luke-jrO.o04:56
DocScrutinizerinsane04:56
Macerlmao. wow. battery-eye has my battery going like -10%04:56
Macerice04:56
Macernice too04:56
merlin1991I dunno when I set an allarm on the n900 I'm up within the first 2 to 3 notes04:57
DocScrutinizerbattery-eye seems thoroughly fsckd up04:57
Maceri don't think so because advanced power is also giving me awkward results on this battery04:58
Macerthe same results battery-eye is using04:58
Macerwhere the applet turns red... the red led turns on... but the n900 stays on for over an hour longer during high use04:58
Macerit could be  because the first couple of days i was swapping out 2 different batteries04:58
DocScrutinizeroh well, check lshal|grep batt04:59
luke-jrmerlin1991: well, the problem is mine doesn't *go off* until I wake it up some other way04:59
SpeedEvilMine even wakes up from off.05:00
* merlin1991 is feeling brave05:00
merlin1991doing the ota upgrade05:00
DocScrutinizerthat'd be damn sad if it wouldn't05:00
DocScrutinizerluke-jr: that sounds extemely convenient and just what I'd expect from an alarm clock05:02
luke-jrDocScrutinizer: not so convenient when it could mean your baby starves to death05:02
SpeedEvilBabies tend to have inbuilt alarms.05:02
DocScrutinizererrr how would that happen?05:02
* luke-jr ended up getting an old fashoned alarm05:02
luke-jrSpeedEvil: this one didn't.05:03
SpeedEvilAh. :/05:03
MacerDocScrutinizer: all the information there matches the advanced power applet as well as batter eye and the widget05:03
Macer:)05:03
DocScrutinizeraaah go *off*05:03
luke-jrDocScrutinizer: I set alarm to wake me up to feed her in 3 hours. It doesn't go off. She sleeps through the night way too young.05:03
Macermaybe it just needs more "training"05:03
DocScrutinizersorry my english is poor05:03
Maceralso.. where do i lower the power of the wifi?05:03
Macerisn't there an option to change its power?05:03
luke-jrshe's a little piggy now (a year later) tho :p05:04
SpeedEvilLowering power will almost never change it.05:04
DocScrutinizerMacer: wifi network settings advanced05:04
*** Dibblah has quit IRC05:04
SpeedEvilUage05:04
luke-jrbut next baby, I ain't trusting the N900…05:04
SpeedEvilPower consumption05:04
Macerok thanks05:04
DocScrutinizerat the end of config a particular net05:04
*** Andy80 has quit IRC05:04
MacerDocScrutinizer: is there  way to do this for the wifi hotspot?05:05
Macersince range isn't really an issue?05:05
*** okerror is now known as sironcealit05:05
DocScrutinizerMacer: no idea, but it seems this settings is global for all networks and thus maybe for hotspot as well05:06
*** arvut has quit IRC05:06
Macerah ok. so it isn't just for the network in question?05:06
Macerwhy not a different screen for it then since it is global05:06
Macer?05:06
DocScrutinizeryeah it's terribly misplaced05:06
Macermaybe a settings applet for it05:06
Macera "Power" settings applet would be nice with all the tweaks for savingn power rolled into one applet05:07
SpeedEvilIn nearly all cases, changing hte power will make no perceptible differencee to battery life.05:07
Macerah i see05:07
SpeedEvilAs the amount of time you spend transmitting is very small.05:07
DocScrutinizerfor hotspot it will05:07
SpeedEvilAnd the power usage when listening in hotspot mode will usually swamp it.05:07
SpeedEvilAlso the 3G will utterly swamp it.05:07
DocScrutinizeryeah05:08
SpeedEvilIt may be measurable, but it's not going to be noticable.05:08
Macerwell... any bit will do05:08
SpeedEvilTrue.05:08
*** Dibblah has joined #maemo05:08
Macer100mW when you have a good network at 10mW just makes a little more sense too05:08
Macerto just drop it regardless05:08
SpeedEvilyeah05:08
Macerwhy not make it auto? :)05:08
* luke-jr just charges whenever he's in the car.05:09
Macerheh05:09
Macerif it detects too many tx pkt failures to bump it up to 100mW on its own05:09
DocScrutinizeranyway hotspot without charger attached seems no real usecase after all05:09
MacerDocScrutinizer: true but i am talking about general roaming usage of the wifi05:10
Macerat home 10mW may be fine because of proximity to the router05:10
Maceran airport... not so much05:10
DocScrutinizerMacer: hard to detect tx errors05:10
Macerah ok. well.. figured it sounded like a good idea ;)05:10
Macerhaviung a power section in settings dedicated to power tweaks would still be a nice thing to have too05:10
Macermaybe even with high and low power profiles that turn things on and off by simply swapping profiles05:11
DocScrutinizera general profile management that's not only swapping ringtones would be very nice05:11
DocScrutinizera profile manager that at very least knows about *all* sliders and buttons in settings and you can pick which ones get changed on activating this particular new profile05:13
DocScrutinizerlike brightness, time to tklock, whatnot else05:13
DocScrutinizerringtone melody05:13
Maceryeah... that would be nice.. but power profiles come in handy as well ;)05:15
DocScrutinizeralso "switch to WLAN if available [x]"05:15
Macerlol... yeah.. that's kind of a pain sometimes tbh... maybe making a network hotlist of which to auto switch to ?05:15
DocScrutinizerwhat's in a power profile that such a general profile manager can't handle?05:15
Macerwhitelist05:15
*** Dibblah has quit IRC05:15
Macerit isn't about handling.. it's about what it shouldn't handle when only related to power05:15
Macerif you want to swap to low power mode where the screen dims.. wifi powers down a bit... etc... but your ringtone stays the same :)05:16
DocScrutinizer>>...and you can pick which ones get changed...<<05:16
Macerit would take a lot more sliders and adjustments in a general profile05:16
Maceras opposed to a strictly power profile changing design05:16
SpeedEvilAnd more calls to support from confused users.05:16
MacerSpeedEvil: that as well05:16
Macerlumping it all together would kind of confuse people05:17
DocScrutinizernonsense05:17
Macerpeople are easily adjusted to "this makes my battery live longer" as opposed to "this makes my battery use more power while playig a rock ringtone and disabling gtalk while enabling gvoice and turning on 2 email accounts and disabling the work one..."05:17
Macersimplicity is why iphone wins heh05:18
DocScrutinizerMacer: you're talking gibberish05:18
Macerthey wouldn't lump everything together to that... because not only would people get frustrated... but they would also have less shiny buttons to play with :)05:18
DocScrutinizerMacer: your horizon is obviously limited on that topic05:18
Macerno i am not... i meana don't get me wrong a  general profile is nice but lumping too much into a single change05:18
DocScrutinizer>>...and you can pick which ones get changed...<<05:19
*** Dibblah has joined #maemo05:19
Maceryeah but you would want to change 50 things in a general profile as opposed to just a few basic power changes to lower and raise power consumption  in the power vs performance game?05:19
Macerthat is something you do while you have a ton of time to tweak every setting related to a general profile .. not when you just want to set up something quick that will dim the screen and turn off your gps05:20
Maceror turn it back on and raise the brightness because you are going to drive05:21
DocScrutinizerprocedure: open settings, click "define new general profile", do whatever changes you want to do to settings subgroups, on closing settings main menu the profile manager pops up, shows all the things you edited so you can remove edits you did accidently, then you name the new profile and it will contain only the *changes* you made while it leaves other settings untouched when you activate that profile eventually05:21
merlin1991so kinda like macrorecording?05:23
MacerDocScrutinizer: i get that but you are lumping too much into one thing :)05:24
Macerwhich is a great addition for people willing to do that05:24
Macerbut i still think a power only version would also be useful05:24
Maceryou can also just let the gerneral profule USE the power profile ;)05:25
Macerthat woudl save time05:25
DocScrutinizerI'd even add a few gimmicks to that final profile review menu where you can remove unwanted edits from the profile: select particular changes to be relative rather than the defualt absolute, so e.g changing volume change (60%->70%) to relative will make that profile not set volume to 70% unconditionally biut rather *increase* any current vilume by 10%05:25
Macerso really all you are doing is taking the entire settings app... and turning it all into one giant lumped page with all the sliders and changes? ;)05:26
Macerwhy not just save what all those settings are ?05:26
*** n6pfk has joined #maemo05:26
DocScrutinizerMacer: wtf is wrong with a profile that records and sets only your power related settings if you did only power reölated settings. How is that "too much" nad how are you thinking it could get "less"?05:26
Macermeaning... do it all from settings and just have a button that says "save profile as...."05:27
Maceras an applet05:27
DocScrutinizerMacer: you completely missed what I tried to explain05:27
Macerno i didn't05:27
Maceri just think your method is non-intuitive05:27
Macerno offense05:27
DocScrutinizerMacer: YES you DID, and I don't give a shit about what you think about what you think is my idea of that applet as IT ISN'T what I told you05:28
DocScrutinizera profile manager that at very least knows about *all* sliders and buttons in settings and you can pick which ones get changed on activating this particular new profile05:29
Macer:) it's youru applet.. i was just throwing ideas out there and being the devil's advocate.. no need to get worked up over it05:29
DocScrutinizer[2011-11-11 04:21:15] <DocScrutinizer> procedure: open settings, click "define new general profile", do whatever changes you want to do to settings subgroups, on closing settings main menu the profile manager pops up, shows all the things you edited so you can remove edits you did accidently, then you name the new profile and it will contain only the *changes* you made while it leaves other settings untouched when you activate that profile05:29
DocScrutinizereventually05:29
DocScrutinizermy applet is just a button "start new profile" and a requester "name: "05:30
DocScrutinizerthere's definitely *nothing* crammed in that possibly could get trown out in that05:30

Macerfair enough but a power profile selector should still be in settings.. what if you want to maintain the exact same profile but simply swap power profiles on the fly?05:31
* DocScrutinizer headdesks05:31
Macerdo you go through all the subsettings on what you think will save power and make a new general profile?05:31
Maceror do you just open a power subsetion in settings and adjust it all there?05:32
Macerwhich do you think would be easier?05:32
DocScrutinizerMacer: you're free to publish your greatest profiles for restoring them via this general profile manager05:32
MacerDocScrutinizer: you remind me of the mind of an engineer ;)05:33
DocScrutinizerthen user will just open "set general profile", pick "macer's acme power profile #2" from list and done05:33
*** maybeArgh has quit IRC05:34
DocScrutinizerI don't see how your specialized powe rprofile manager could do it any better than that05:35
MacerDocScrutinizer: i completely understand what you are saying.. but what steps would i need to do in order to adjust the power settings.. i would be stuck in the settings app for about 10 mins... going through all the things within the subsections and finding what i believe will save power instead of opening up a simple power subsection with them all in one place for me to adjust and save a profile.... with your methid using both the power profile alongside the gern05:35
Macerand later have the ability to hotswap power profiles on the fly if that is all you want to adjust.. instead of having 20 different general profiles just to change the power05:36
* DocScrutinizer headdesks some more05:36

Macerok.. i will quit bugging you with this heh05:37
Macerengineers are funny in a sense that if you assign them to a water valve.. they will want to completely reconstruct the entire water piping instead of simply making a better valve... architects are more like artists trying to determine what would best suit the poeple who will use it05:38
DocScrutinizer"edit profile", pick name, do whatever edits you think the profile needs *in standards settimgs et al dialog*, click "save edited profile"05:38

DocScrutinizerlisten dude. You talk about a special view that collects settings available elsewhere in one place. That's all fine (though I don't exactly see who's going to decide which of the plethora of settings should go in there), anyway with general profile manager you got a tool to create that view in no time: somebody else (=the nice Mr Macer) published a profile pack for General Profile Manager which contains 1 or 2 or 20 so called PowerProfiles.06:01
DocScrutinizerYou can open such a profile for editing in two different ways: a) "edit in profile" which will open a dialog that's exactly your view of selected things, e.g one of MrMacers PowerProfiles has just brightness and WLAN-power so opening that profile via "edit in profile" will just show those two settings to chenge them to your liking. After you're don tweaking either brightness or/and WLAN-power you have to option to apply and/or store the06:01
DocScrutinizerchanged profile, under same or new name. Method B) is "change profile settings" and will just load the profile and open the standard system settings dialog, you do whatever tweaks you want in settings, to brightness, WLAN-Power, or any other of the available settings (in which case the new changed setting gets added to the edited profile), and on closing the settings system dialog you again get the option to save the profile under same or06:01
DocScrutinizernew name (applying it doesn't make sense here as you already applied all changes when you messed with settings dialog).06:01

DocScrutinizersomebody else will want to create a "night" profile that sets brightness, alarm-clock-ringtone and loudness, and ONLY that. He clicks "create new profile", settings dialog opens, he sets brightness and the other two to the values he needs for sleeping and wake up alarm, then stores this profile under name "myNight". Any later time he may want to change brightness, he does exactly what I explained above (either 'edit in profile "MyNight"' or06:11
DocScrutinizer'change profile settings "MyNight"') and he *might* want to save that new profile under name "MyDarkNight" - or he decides it's just a convenient way to change brightness via "edit in profile" and then go to "apply profile" instead of "apply and safe" and he got the personalized view that has only "brightness" "ringtone" "volume" and on selecting "apply" he discards the edits and MyNight stays unaltered which is exactly what you were asking06:11

DocScrutinizerI admit my concept has one drawback compared to a generic powermanager pliugin for settings as you suggested: edits in the "edit in profile" don't take instant effect, rather the whole bunch gets applied when you hit either "apply" or "apply&save" button. I don't think this is am unbearable shortcoming, and we could even work around it for some selected settings like e.g brightness and volume, by implementing a direct control link to the06:33

DocScrutinizeroops I wasn't completely precise above: on both "create new profile" and "change profile settings" on closing the system's settings dialog GPM will open up the "edit in profile" view for the actual setting, so you `could delete controls you accidently changed though you don't want them in this profile", as well as change some of the controls (I was about to write "of the changed controls" but I think meanwhile it's clear in a profile there07:04
DocScrutinizerare always only changed controled stored) to "relative" (I named it "incremental" but I think "relative" is the better term).07:04

mgedminI would attempt this: fix DOS line endings of all files named samba.* in /var/lib/dpkg/info, then apt-get install --reinstall samba, then fix all files _again_ (because reinstall will restore the broken ones), then apt-get remove --purge samba19:24
Creteilthis package just don't install properly19:24
totalizatorDocScrutinizer: thanks for the tip; good to know that i don't need to disassemble it but do I really need to remove the 2 torx screws to remove the keyboard frame? the Nokia service manual says that you should not reuse the torx screws and I don't have spare ones19:24
mgedminof course --reinstall will probably fail with the same error....19:24
Creteilmgedmin, this is not the only problem of the package ...19:24
Creteilmgedmin, already do that but that doesn't fix the bad installation at all ...19:25
mgedmindpkg has a database where it has recorded that the package is Badly Broken(TM), because of the failed postrm script19:25
mgedminto unwedge the database you need to install a fixed version of samba19:26

rlySicelo: what is the difference between screen and a bouncer?22:52
rlyI.e. screen irssi22:52
luke-jr….22:52
luke-jrwith screen, you have to use a CLI client :P22:52
rlySo, a bouncer is something like a cache basically.22:53
rlyCan multiple clients connect to it on the same time?22:53
rlyat the same time*22:53
rlyOr rather a multi-client relay.22:53
mgedmina bouncer is like an irc proxy22:54
mgedminthe real irc server thinks it's a client22:55
mgedminthe clients you use (on any OS) think it's a server22:55
mgedminit sits in between and passes messages through -- or buffers them when there are no clients22:55

* mgedmin uses znc23:00
mgedmin(the only one I've tried; works; is not very user friendly)23:00
keriomgedmin: are you kidding23:01
*** E0x_ has quit IRC23:01
mgedminno, I have very high standards23:01
keriomgedmin: /znc loadmod webmin then connect to znc with your browser23:01
mgedminfirst time I _hear_ about this /znc thing23:02
keriololwut23:02
mgedminI thought you needed to /query *** or whatever and then do cryptic whatevers23:02
keriowell, /znc is basically /msg *status23:02
kerioexcept shorter23:02
kerioalso wtf, how did you detach channels?23:03
mgedmin/znc help draws me an ascii table too wide for my xchat window23:03
mgedmindetach?23:03
* mgedmin blinks23:03
keriomgedmin: so enlarge it :c23:03
mgedminthis is a 1280x800 laptop, xchat is already maximized23:03
keriomgedmin: either /detach channel or /znc detach regexp23:03
mgedminI just join/leave channels in xchat like a normal person23:03
keriowhy leaving them23:03

keriostickychan+autoattach23:04
rlyluke-jr: Quassel seems to be a client and bouncer in one.23:04
keriomgedmin: why are you using znc, if not for the extra stuff?23:04
mgedminbecause I need a bouncer, and znc is the first one I found that looked like a lazy user like me might be able to use23:05

kerioyeah, znc isn't very friendly if you don't use it :\23:05
*** zap_ has quit IRC23:05
rlyI wonder why most networking (DNS servers, mail servers, webservers, etc.) stuff is so hard to configure. It seems that it is just job protection.23:06
keriorly: huh... it's as simple as possible23:07
*** willer_ has quit IRC23:07
*** zap_ has joined #maemo23:07
kerioshit's complicated, yo23:07
mgedminthere's a lower limit to complexity23:07
rlyFor example Freenet configuration is a lot easier than setting up Postfix.23:07
mgedmindoesn't mean every piece of software manages to reach it23:07
mgedminsometimes I wonder if any do23:07
rlyFreenet is much more complicated in how it works.23:08
keriorly: do you realize the ungodly amount of stuff an MTA does?23:08
mgedminat one point I thought I'd simplify my life and use Cherokee instead of Apache on my home file server23:08
rlykerio: yes, I saw a presentation about that recently from Tokio.23:08
rlykerio: well, that was just about email and how horrible it was.23:08
mgedminregretted that after the first upgrade: old config syntax not supported, go do pointy-clicky adminy things in your browser again to set up everything from scratch23:09
mgedminI felt like an NT admin and promptly went back to Apache23:09
keriomgedmin: y u no use nginx :(23:09
rlyNot supporting upgrades is epic failure.23:09
mgedminngnix scares me23:09
rlyAlso a GUI should always compile to human readable configuration files or some database.23:10
rlyNot to some proprietary binary blob.23:10
mgedminabsolutely23:10
keriolololo gconf23:10
rlyMost closed source programs actually produce encrypted blobs for exactly the opposite reason.23:11
mgedminthere's a reason I avoid most closed source programs23:11
mgedminmany reasons, really, but let's not go there23:11
rlymgedmin: I think everyone with an N900 that uses ssh on their phone agrees ;)23:11
rlyIf you have really good contracts, closed source can work, theoretically.23:12
kerionot really23:12
mgedminwe just don't hear about the failures :)23:13
rlyContracts like 'all bugs will be fixed within 24 hours', etc.23:13
*** ZogG_N9 has joined #maemo23:13
mgedminis that possible?23:13
rlymgedmin: likely no software company would commit to that.23:13
mgedminthere are bugs that take weeks to figure out the root cause23:13
kerio"all bugs will be features within 24 hours"23:13
mgedmin"we will react within 24 hours" is more likely23:13
mgedmin"yep, that's a bug. we'll fix it. someday."23:13
mgedminalways read the small print23:13
rlyMaking it open source introduces an element of competition.23:14
*** lardman_ has quit IRC23:14
keriothe good thing about oss is that the developers actually *use* their software23:14
rlykerio: yes, more than with commercial software.23:15
*** zap_ has quit IRC23:15
rlyTake for example Photoshop. I doubt that the developers can actually produce art.23:15
rlyIt's a good program, sure, but I can imagine that something like Blender would produce something closed to what graphics people want in the end.23:15

*** Creteil has quit IRC23:16
rlymgedmin: I think it is possible to arrange for source code licenses for some closed source software, btw.23:18
rlyI am also allergic to dual licensed code, because often the 'open-source' part is only open-source according to its legal definition not according to its spirit.23:19

SpeedEvilkerio: It depends.23:21
mgedminBlender is not necessarily a good example of an open source project: it was closed source initially23:21
mgedminalthough I don't know how much it changed since then23:22
SpeedEvilkerio: People interested in a programming project are not always interested in using that project much.23:22
SpeedEvilkerio: And can have strange, idealistic ideas about ways users 'should' use it.23:22
SpeedEvilJOSM suffers from this.23:22
SpeedEvilJava open-streetmap editor23:22
SpeedEvilActual budgets help shittons.23:23
SpeedEvil'we think this is a better user interface' -> test with lots of tester/users -> y/n23:23
rlyI think in reality the testing is not really needed. If you build something great, you don't need a tester to verify that for you.23:24
SpeedEvilYes you do.23:24
SpeedEvilAs you may be an ass-hat.23:24
rlyFor example Google Maps, if you see that, you don't think 'wow, that sucks'.23:25
SpeedEvilOr do things wierdly.23:25
DocScrutinizerand only the worst ass-hats deny they might be some23:25
SpeedEvilSure. But google maps is a very limited case.23:25
SpeedEvilIt's a very, very simple UI, that doesn't do much.23:25
SpeedEvilNow, go on to a map editor, for example.23:25
SpeedEvilThat is several orders of magnitude harder to get right.23:26
DocScrutinizera CAD23:26
SpeedEvilIndeed.23:26
DocScrutinizerCAE23:26
DocScrutinizerworse: simulators23:26
*** ZogG_N9 has quit IRC23:26
SpeedEvilAnd then you've got to think about who you're optimising for.23:26
SpeedEvilOptimising for both the casual and expert user is _HARD_.23:27
rlyI think Emacs basically nailed it.23:27
rlyThere are some improvements to be made, of course.23:27
rlyBut the basic model that Emacs has is great.23:27
rlyIt is self-documenting, etc.23:27
rlyFor CAE (assuming that is engineering), I would expect to be able to say 'place a bolt of 3mm at coordinates (1,2,3)'.23:28
rlyOr 'Place the cheapest bolt selected from webservice X instead of bolt id 10'23:28
DocScrutinizerEmacs makes aunties cry shit23:29
rlySo, basically today, lots of NLP with some sub language and basically collect everything users have ever input in a database and then try to make sense of it.23:29
rlyThat's what Google does too in the queries they receive.23:29
SpeedEvilYou need to enforce rules.23:30
SpeedEvilUnfortunately.23:30
rlyThere is some input stream and some desired behaviour in the mental model of the user and you want to map those automatically.23:30
SpeedEvildoes 3mm mean diameter or length23:30
rlySpeedEvil: it could ask that.23:30
rlyRigid rules are a thing of the past.23:30
rlySure, you need rigid rules in _some_ API, but not the end-user interface.23:30

* DocScrutinizer heads out screaming, as he already had the pleasure to work with those kind of "grammar free UI"23:32
DocScrutinizer**dust settles slowly**23:33
rlyDocScrutinizer: Google is grammar free too and it works. Now, Wolfram Alpha doesn't.23:33
*** mintux has left #maemo23:33
rlyThe difference is that the domain for Wolfram Alpha is too large.23:33
DocScrutinizergoogle is a very simple grep web frontend with jus one single command and purpose23:34
rlyNow, it is a bit more than grep.23:34
DocScrutinizernot really23:35
rlyThat's like saying a scramjet is a paper plane that goes faster.23:35
DocScrutinizermeh23:35
rlyI thought the page rank algorithm was fairly 'novel'.23:35
rlyThey don't use that anymore exactly in that form, though.23:36
DocScrutinizerwhat is the possible number of degrees of freedom in google's results/reaction?23:36
DocScrutinizergoogle is not grammar free, it has an implicit ultrasimple grammar/semantic23:37
rlyDocScrutinizer: there are things like 'euros in yens'.23:37
DocScrutinizerthat's why it works23:37
rlyDocScrutinizer: yes, but I think CAE is also 'simple'.23:37

rlyMathematics is too complex.23:37
rlySpeedEvil: I did some Autocad.23:38
rlySpeedEvil: and I read some tutorials about Solidworks.23:38
rlySolidworks is nothing else but the composition of primitive objects and composite objects with some finite number of simulations.23:39

DocScrutinizer'place a bolt of 3mm at coordinates (1,2,3)'.  --  that's a system where user fetches LART after 3 minutes, as you have *no idea* where to get (1,2,3) from23:46

rlyAt least, that's how I perceived it.23:54
*** zap_ has quit IRC23:54
