IRC log of #maemo for Monday, 2007-10-22

_|Nix|_inz: I'm about to do that :o)00:00
m-voI.e., upstream should be portable and cope with optional packages not being present, but when building for debian, you want a well controlled configuration.00:00
tkom-vo: I almost hope you get to maintain many debian packages that come with build dependencies to mysql and the kitchen sink :)00:01
m-voNow, having more than one well controlled configuration in one debian source package (one for Debian itself, one for Ubuntu, one for Emdebian, one for maemo), that's where it gets interesting.00:01
_|Nix|_*sigh* ... I'm thinking about committing a horrible attrocity: "Build-Depends: ... @AVAHI_DEV_PACKAGE@ ..." + wrapper script for dpkg-buildpackage - at least until etrunko comes through.00:01
* _|Nix|_ dons spacesuit00:02
tkothat's where the madness lies00:02
tkoit's evil enough for SONAME00:02
m-voHmm, what about just leaving it out.  You have to rerelease once avahi becomes available anyway.00:02
_|Nix|_m-vo: I'm not releasing. I'm waiting for upstream's 2.2.2. This is just for me.00:03
m-voAhh, then just build avahi for yourself.00:03
_|Nix|_I just wanna have one command to run that'll build on both Bora and Chinook.00:03
tkojhbuild install :)00:04
m-vo_|Nix|_, right, I get it. Hmm....00:04
_|Nix|_m-vo: ... but then I can't test it on the tablet ... well, I suppose I could install avahi on the tablet. However, this may become an "endless shopping list" (as my QM professor called the dependency tree).00:04
alteregoI wrote a script to do that for ruby-maemo :)00:04
_|Nix|_Attrocity it is ... *wipe hands*00:05
tkoof course you could just tell dpkg to ignore missing build-depends (after verifying that you're missing only the ones blocking on someone else)00:07
m-voHmm, bora is 'obsolete' once chinook comes out, and what you are doing is maintaining a backport of a chinook package for bora.  And you want to make it as easy as possible... maintaining a separate backporting branch is too much work?00:08
_|Nix|_m-vo: Not bora, actually ... gregale.00:08
_|Nix|_gregale and bora are binary-compatible.00:08
alteregoVersion numbers are easier to work out for me.00:09
_|Nix|_So, I could ship one binary for N770 and N800. This will no longer be true once Chinook ships.00:09
alteregoWhat version is gregale?00:09
_|Nix|_alterego: 2.200:09
alteregoRight00:09
alteregoWell, 2.2 is binary compatible but there are API changes.00:09
tkog < b < c .. the version/naming scheme almost makes sense00:09
alteregom < g< b < c ?00:10
_|Nix|_Yep.00:10
alteregoI think I'll definitely use numbers instead of those tags.00:10
m-vo_|Nix|_, gregale is the 770 hacker edition?00:10
alteregoIt's confusing to me, I'd hate to think what users would do ..00:10
alteregoNo, gregale is 2.200:11
alteregoHE is 3.200:11
_|Nix|_m-vo: Whatever it is, building against it makes things run on the last N770 firmware00:11
tko2.0 mistral, 2.1 something, 2.2 gregale00:11
_|Nix|_m-vo: ... as well as on all things pre-chinook.00:12
_|Nix|_m-vo: ... one binary.00:12
m-vo2.1, scirocco.00:12
m-vo_|Nix|_, wow, is that by accident or did we plan it?00:12
tkoI got the s correct00:13
tkom-vo: yes, I think so :-P00:13
_|Nix|_m-vo: Dunno, don't care ... WORKSFORME :o)00:13
*** philipl has quit IRC00:13
m-voDidn't we break compatibility with each major release?  I am confused now.00:14
tkopartially00:14
tkoit's a great confusion00:14
m-voAnyway, I know that compatibility is not black and white if you look at a complete OS.00:14
_|Nix|_m-vo: That may be the case on the system as a whole, but, I guess, not on those parts needed for Pidgin.00:14
_|Nix|_m-vo: So, if you had a "Christmas tree" project, you'd need separate binaries.00:14
* _|Nix|_ switches to the Chinook target and tries to build Pidgin. If you hear a loud bang, call me an ambulance :o)00:15

JitenI got a rather fresh idea of how slow n800 actually is. I decided to finally see if my program works on the device too.00:21
Jitenapparently not so good idea to implement simple html parser in python. it's _slow_ even for just a couple of lines.00:21
alteregoDoesn't sounds so simple ..00:22
alteregoREXML works pretty well.00:22
Jitenwell, it parses html and sets up gtk.TextView so it shows it as well as it can.00:23
* m-vo pities the little ARM CPU.00:23
JitenI was initially thinking about using gtkhtml instead but couldn't find python bindings00:24
m-voJiten, be happy that it is just slow, and not impossible. :)00:24
Jitenit takes ~200ms to show the text I guess.00:25
JitenI guess I get to learn how to make a python wrapper for gtkhtml.00:28
tkogtkhtml wrapper was in python-gnome IIRC00:29

ekim\770hi05:26
ekim\770for some reason my mmc keeps being mounted as read-only05:27
ekim\770is this a know issue?05:27
zerojayAre you on the latest firmware?05:28
zerojayWith the recent mmc fixes?05:28
ekim\770huh05:28
ekim\770lbut it was working before05:28
zerojayWhen was the last time you updated your firmware?05:28
ekim\7702 montths05:28
zerojayWhen a card is set to read-only, it's because the card's been damaged.05:29
ekim\770i am booting from mmc05:29
ekim\770uhoh05:29
zerojayUsually, it's not permanent.05:29
zerojayJust requires reformatting the card.05:29
ekim\770does this mean i have to reinstall  everything05:29
ekim\770and reinstall to the mmc05:30
zerojayThe problem usually stems from people removing a card while it is still being written to (give it some time even after your OS says it's complete).05:30
ekim\770but it was working fine before05:30
zerojayThere's also the recent fix for some card problems that killed larger cards repeatedly where letting the screen dim while the card was being written to would kill it. The latest firmware fixes that.05:31
ekim\770the other thing is , i have 2 partitins on my mmc05:31
ekim\770the boot one is fine05:31
ekim\770but the fat32 one is read only05:32
sciboyCopy the files off it, format/repartition and copy it back on.05:32
zerojayYou probably damaged the partition because it was being read/written to when you removed a card or turned off power to the tablet.05:32
ekim\770ahh05:32
ekim\770so i only need to format that 1 partition05:33
zerojayWell, most likely, yes.. but I can't be sure of it.05:33
zerojayDo yourself a favor and do what I do.05:33
* jeremyb sees lots of repitition in the last 20 lines05:33
ekim\770ok thanks guys05:33
zerojayAlways wait about 2 or 3 minutes after your OS says a transfer is complete to the card before doing anything like removing/turning off the tablet.05:33
zerojayIf it's a very large transfer, give it 5 minutes.05:34
jeremybthat's a lot of latency05:34
ekim\770i always do05:34
zerojayjeremyb: Yeah, but you just want to be sure.05:34
jeremybis there some kind of standby mode?05:34
ekim\770thats a a 'feature'05:34
jeremybzerojay: but what if you want to transfer to or from a desktop and you don't have time to dilly dally?05:35
sciboyjeremyb, My computer has a buffer, it copies a file to the buffer not the card itself so you have to wait for it to finish before unmounting05:35
zerojayThat's also how the card readers work. The writes are flushed to the card reader fast (at which point your OS says it's complete) while the card reader is still writing the rest of it.05:35
zerojayjeremyb: Start your transfer earlier or deal with the reality that you'll have corrupted partitions all the time.05:35
ekim\770also , how come my 770 tuns on when I plug it in05:35
jeremybsciboy: and you can unmount in a matter of seconds after the fd is closed, right?05:35
ekim\770is that another 'feature'05:36
zerojayekim\770: It's not the tablet's fault if this is the kind of thing you're having.05:36
jeremybwell the OS should be aware of when it's still being written and display that05:36
sciboyjeremyb, Not sure what you mean by fd, but afterwards it's instant.05:36
zerojayjeremyb: It can't.05:36
ekim\770one more thing05:37
jeremybsciboy: file descriptor05:37
ekim\770how does the 770 microphone work ?05:37
sciboyBy magic.05:37
jeremybsciboy: you can also force an early flush on your desktop05:37
jeremybcan you on a nokia tablet?05:38
ekim\770how does the 770 microphone work ?...05:38
zerojayThe tablet isn't the problem. It's just the way card readers work.05:38
zerojayHappens on every OS.05:38
ekim\770seriouly...please tell me so I can leave05:39
zerojaySome will, however, complain that the card can't be unmounted yet if attempted while the card reader is writing.05:39
zerojayekim\770: I don't have the 770, so I don't know.05:39

jeremybzerojay: well i was thinking more about internal hard drives but i still see no reason the OS couldn't be made aware05:43
jeremybor usb flash for that matter05:43
zerojayjeremyb: The only real reason is that they just weren't made that way. It's stupid.05:44
jeremybzerojay: ok, so why not change it now?05:44
zerojaySame reason we didn't suddenly move to DVDs that were 12GB in size.05:44
zerojayBackwards compatibility with older drives... standards, etc...05:45
* disq remembers the times when the 770 microphone didn't have the driver05:45
zerojayWell, those are my best guesses. I'm not a card reader engineer or anything.05:45
GeneralAntillesSo do I, disq, so do I.05:45
GeneralAntillesOther option is to just not use card readers.05:46

*** jacques has joined #maemo05:46
*** celesteh has quit IRC05:46
jeremybzerojay: i'm not saying everyone should adopt it but i don't see why they should continue being made the way you describe.  is it so much cheaper as is?  and yes i'm keeping compat in mind... is there no room within existing specs to add such a notification for the OS without breaking existing devices/drivers/OSs which are already compliant?05:48
disqanyway i gotta get some sleep, night.05:48
GeneralAntillesjeremyb: I suspect it's mostly necessary to have cache involved in the data transfer for things to run smoothly.05:50
GeneralAntillesand there's no easy way to tell the host machine that the card isn't done writing yet05:50
jeremybGeneralAntilles: i have no objection to using a cache...05:50
jeremybwhy not?05:50
zerojayBecause as far as the card reader is concerned, the OS doesn't need to know.05:51
zerojayIt's lame... but what can you do?05:52
zerojayJust wait until the next standards are being discussed and raise your voice, I suppose.05:52
straindAnyone using xkbd-bthid?05:55
straindor any other means to make your Nokia into a bluetooth keyboard for another device?05:58
GeneralAntillesThat's the only one available05:58
GeneralAntillesOnly have a Mac here, so I haven't been able to use it05:58
GeneralAntilleslooks cool, though.05:58
straindI can't figure out how to get it paired with the other device.06:00
jeremybzerojay: huh?  the OS *does* have a vested interest in knowing06:00
zerojayNo, it doesn't.06:00
GeneralAntillesAs far as it's concerned the filesystem write is over.06:00
zerojayOnce the write is flushed to the card (what the progress bar shows), it's done.06:00
jeremybGeneralAntilles: why can't you use it with a mac?06:01

zerojayjeremyb: Apparently.06:02
GeneralAntillesNot if you drop it and move on. ;)06:02

jeremybi'm talking about the future06:05
zerojayIn the future, there will be robots.06:05
GeneralAntillesOr lots and lots of glass.06:05
jeremybthere will always be legacy and backward compat to consider and but that's not a reason for refusing improvements that comply with existing standards (and therefore are backwards compat)06:07
zerojayYes.06:07
zerojayBut it's apparently not.06:07
zerojayWhich I assume is why some cards come with their own special card readers.06:08

Jitenn810 is smaller and more light weight than n800 though.15:48
GeneralAntillesIt's heavier15:48
ZvjerI like that15:48
GeneralAntillesand not much smaller.15:48
GeneralAntilles20g heavier15:48

Zvjerthe real question about the price is how much does the N800 and N810 cost in EU15:48
GeneralAntillesYou heard wrong.15:48
GeneralAntillesTrust me, it's heavier.15:49
Jitenn800 is available for 270 EUR in Finland. if you remove taxes, that's 210 EUR15:50

GeneralAntillesWell, Jaffa, I'm thoroughly confused. 770-encode fails with: mplayer doesn't support FFmpeg lavc encode18:30
GeneralAntillesSomehow, I don't think I have mencoder installed correctly.18:30
massoudwhere did you get the SU-18_2007HACKER_2.2006.47-17_PR_F5_MR0_ARM.bin ?18:30
pupnikGeneralAntilles: you are using a 'free' ffmpeg without much codec support18:31
JaffaGeneralAntilles: That sounds like exactly your problem. Where did you get your mencoder from?18:31
pupnikrun ffmpeg -formats18:31
massoudIs there a key combination to have it boot  up and remained up till I connect and flash ?18:31
massoudcause right now I can only boot for 1-2 second (Nokia logo)18:32
Jaffapupnik: no, 770-encode's not using ffmpeg directly. But it does sound like a stripped down mencoder.18:32
GeneralAntillesOK, a better clarification: is there a distinction between ffmpeg and mencoder (uber noob warning. ;))18:32
lardmanmassoud: you should switch off (no power), then start the flasher, then add power & it will boot18:32
pupnikhmm18:32
GeneralAntillesI pulled mencoder out of Mencoder OSX (a GUI app) and stuck it in /usr/bin18:32
GeneralAntillesHa18:32
pupniksorry if i had wrong info18:32
JaffaGeneralAntilles: ffmpeg is two things: 1) a library used by mplayer/mencoder; 2) a simple front end for that library.18:32
massoudlardman : I try18:33
lardmanmassoud: where power=external power plug18:33
pupniki just know standard debian ffmpeg is crippled over patent/licensing problems18:33
JaffaGeneralAntilles: Do `mencoder -ovc help' and paste the results somewhere.18:33
Jaffapupnik: indeed. Recent versions work well, though18:34

Jitenif you don't use the latter option, you can't do what you want.20:03
unique311i think the second option is what went down..20:03

unique311but was not what i was trying to accomplish.20:03
*** greentux has quit IRC20:04
unique311it does..20:04
unique311i've done osx86 installs that way..20:04
unique311where after shutting down the computer..osx was available as an operating system.20:04
Jitenanyway, if you've done the install that way, if you can manage to get the boot process going, it should work with native boot20:04
Jitensince vmware complains about partition table being changed, it's likely the install actually modified it.20:05
Jitenwhich might mean bootloader got installed too20:06
Jitenyou tried booting since the attempt?20:06
unique311yes..20:06
unique311boots into windows.20:06
unique311think i know where i went wrong..20:07
Jitenwell, if it was my system, I'd just put an old linux live-cd on the drive, boot up, go install bootloader manually and be done with it.20:07
unique311going to give it one more go...before i take the regular route.20:07
Jitenthat vmware way is rather tricky since you need to be careful of so many things.20:08

Jitenok, python cPickle is easy but surprisingly slow. the program only unpickles on initialise once and then pickles on shutdown. unpickle was 6100ms and pickle was 5300ms22:31
alteregoHeh22:31
Jitenthat explains the startup and shutdown times22:31
* alterego has no idea what that means :)22:31
Jitenpickle is the standard way in python to save data structures22:32
alteregoAh, serialization?22:32
Jitenyes22:32
alterego:)22:32
alteregoHow big is the data?22:32
milhousealterego - that proves dcc works :)22:32
Jitenlets see22:32
alteregomilhouse, yeah, I wasn't sure it'd burst through my firewall ;)22:33
Jitenthe pickled file is 767kb22:33
alteregoThat's pretty big.22:33
*** apple2 has quit IRC22:33
Jitenwell exported to xml the data is still 702kb22:33
alteregoDepending on the nature of the program .. Could you not load incrementally? I.E. having several state files and loading them at different points in startup?22:34
alteregoAlso maybe you could do some threading?22:34
*** jnettlet_ has quit IRC22:34
JitenI haven't looked at how the internal logic works yet22:34
JitenI've only reimplemented the interface22:34
Jitenthere certainly is no need to keep all that data in memory22:35
alteregoAh, well I'd imagine the serialization method doesn't compress. So it's no suprise that the XML representation is around the same size.22:35
*** pleemans has quit IRC22:36
Jitenbzip2 made the xml file 58kb and the pickled one 101kb22:36
alteregoAh, that's indicative of what may be happening.22:36
bmidgleyare the mkfs.vfat defaults reasonable for a 2gb card? I see opts for logical-sector & fat sizes22:36
alteregopickle might be serializing in a psuedo binary format.22:37
alteregoObviously I don't know off hand :)22:37
Jitenit's ascii armored at least, I think22:37
alteregobmidgley, just use the defaults ;)22:37
bmidgleyok here goes22:38
alterego:)22:38
alteregoHmm22:38
alteregoIt's been 2 years since I used Python.22:38
Jitenwow, both formats are incredibly wasteful. The most important stuff exports into 115kb textfile :)22:38
alteregoYou can guess why I stopped ;)22:38
*** playya_ has quit IRC22:38
*** jnettlet__ has quit IRC22:39
alteregoWell, depending on the complexity of the data-structure/s and the amount of _real_ data. That's not suprising.22:39
Jitenthough, this version does waste some of the data.22:39
alteregoGenerally with serialization the wasteful parts are the saving of the actual structure of data and not the acutal data itself :)22:39
Takalterego: have an opinion on the best place to host xchat-ruby?  I don't think I want to open another garage project just for that...22:41

alteregoSVN and all.22:41
alteregoTell me what you need and I'll sort it out.22:42

alteregoTak, I was thinking of doing a ruby debian repository.22:43
Tak:-/22:43
alteregoWell it's up to you how you distribute your packages :P22:43
alteregoTo be honest, I don't have much experience with debian repositories or package management. Everything I know I've learned over the past few months since I started ruby-maemo22:44
alteregoI was hoping on serving everything up with one-click installers.22:45
alterego(I don't know how those .install files work yet though) :)22:45
bmidgleywhere do you draw the line between deb repositories and gem repositories?22:46
alteregoI don't22:46
JaffaBest option for that is garage extras, especially since a) they're autogenerated for you there, b) it's available in the standard OS 2008 build22:46
alteregomaemo can't do gems.22:46
JaffaLet's resist any more repo proliferation22:46
bmidgleyno rails devel on maemo then :)22:47
alteregoI've tried using rubygems on the IT's and it is so slow you might aswell walk to the nearest repository and write down copy the file manually .. With a paper and pencile.22:47
TakI'm with Jaffa22:47
alteregobmidgley, well, yes,.22:47
alteregoIf you want to.22:47
alteregoJust don't use gems on the device.22:47
alteregoIt's slow on desktop, it's pretty much a standstill on an embedded device like the IT's :)22:48
Takalterego: any particular reason you don't want to use the garage extras repo?22:48
alteregoTak, no, not at all :)22:48
alteregoI have to have a hosted project though?22:48

JaffaNot at all ;)22:49

alteregoI don't mind doing everything myself. I'd just like it to become bigger than me :)22:54
bmidgleyI go to a ruby usergroup and I'd like to show off maemo but python seems to be the preferred lang22:55
alteregoIt's only prefered because my ruby bindings aren't really as mature.22:55
alteregoI will be releasing 1.1 on Friday. It will include libxml, libsdl, sqlite3, hildon and libosso.22:56

bmidgleyI write ruby all the time for web stuff but I rarely touch python...22:59
*** kb7sqi has joined #maemo22:59
alteregoWell, like I said earlier. I've not used Python in almost 2 years. (since I started Ruby actually ;)22:59
konttoriyeah. both are pretty good, but ruby shines for web development22:59
alteregoRails shines for web development. There is still a distinction.22:59
konttoriI'll rephrase. Both are excellent.22:59
konttoritrue23:00
alteregoAlso, Rails is great because of the man that dedicated all that time to it. And the community of developers that followed.23:00
Jitenalterego: what do you think are the most noticeable things that ruby does better than python?23:00
konttorirails? ;)23:00
alteregoJiten, iterators, closures, lambda expressions.23:00
*** kb7sqi has quit IRC23:01
*** pdz has joined #maemo23:01
alteregoIntrospection/reflection and meta-programming23:01
Jiteniterators?23:01
_Monkeyiterators are optimized to do iterations over sequences or any objects23:01
alterego:)23:01
Jitenyes, I knew that much.23:01
alteregoTake this: (0..100).to_a.each {|e| puts e}23:01
*** krau is now known as krau|away23:02
Jitenwhat does that do?23:02
alteregoThat defines a range, that gets converted to an array. Then the result is iterated over outputing each element of the array (range 0..100)23:02
Takyes, much less clunky than in python23:03
alteregoYou could actually do: (0..100).each {|i| puts i}23:03
alteregoBecause a range is iteratable.23:03
alteregoIf that's a real word :)23:03
Jitenfor i in range(100): print i23:03
Jitenthis does the same in python if I understood correctly23:04
alteregoRuby has this nice thing. If you create a class and define an 'each' method. Then you can import a "mixin" which is like an interface which will allow you to use a load of functions like 'map' (lispish) 'select', 'reject' ....23:04
alteregoThere are loads of enumerable methods. And all you need to do is define a single 'each' method :)23:05
JitenI've been toying with haskell so functional constructs are somewhat familiar23:05
alteregoHaskell is nice.23:05
alteregoI've yet to find a place for it in my projects though.23:06
alteregoI spend too much time thinking about design and not code with Haskell.23:06
alteregoRuby really just gets out of your way and allows you to code in a very agile manner.23:06
JitenI do a lot of thinking about the design anyway so haskell didn't really slow me down.23:07
alterego:)23:07
JitenI like clean code23:07
alteregoOh, me too.23:07
alteregoI'm a perfectionist.23:07
alteregoBut ruby allows me to be pragmatic without that dirty feeling you get when you normally prototype ;)23:07
alteregoSince I've been using Ruby, I don't follow my old rewrite 3 times rule :)23:08
MikhoI have a vague recollection of having huge problems with ruby unicode support23:08
Jitenhaskell, in a way, is pure lambda expressions everywhere :)23:08
alteregoI just refactor, it's refreshing.23:08
alteregoMikho, yeah. That used to be a problem. Not anymore. In fact Ruby in ruby-maemo is set to UTF-8 by default so you don't have to worry about it ;)23:09
Jitenyes, I also refactor if I notice I could've done something differently23:09
JitenI just don't have to do it often23:09
Mikhobut UTF-8 causes me problems with scandinavian letters...23:10
alteregoWell, Haskell and also LISP promote very good coding standards. DRY it's very prominent in Ruby to.23:10
shaprmmmm Haskell23:10
shaprI get paid to write Haskell! It's my day job!23:10
alteregoIf I was to familiarize Ruby with other languages. I'd say Ruby is a Perl/Python/Lisp/Smalltalk hybrid :)23:10
alteregoshapr, you're an exceptionally lucky guy :)23:11
alteregoOr girl ;)23:11
Jitenshapr: got any work to share?23:11
shaprI think Ruby's OO model is a bit better than Python's, but I prefer significant whitespace.23:11
alteregoSyntax isn't worth worrying about.23:11
shaprIt's important to me.23:11
alteregoBut you're right. Ruby is purely OO, where as Python isn't.23:11
Mikhopersonally I hate the python "pass" command23:11
shaprJiten: Done any open source Haskell work?23:11
alteregoRuby is OO in the smalltalk sense :)23:12
Jitenshapr: just a small try when I was trying to get my head around the thinking pattern23:12
shaprFrom a Haskell perspective, Ruby does not do anonymous funtions well.23:12
alteregoshapr, in what manner?23:12
alteregoI think it does them well.23:12
shaprJiten: If you get a good track record in the Haskell community, you can probably get a job without too much trouble.23:12
alteregoPython barely does them at all :D23:12

Jitenhttp://jkaartinen.dyndns.org/~blight/simulaatio.hs my first try at doing something with haskell23:13
shaprJiten: I've been interviewed by three Haskell companies, and had two others try to recruit me via email.23:13
alteregoshapr, so what's wrong with Ruby's "blocks" ?23:14
alteregoThey're closures and everything ^_^23:14
shaprI had some serious problem with them last time I looked, but I don't remember what it was. Maybe I couldn't pass in parameters easily?23:15
shaprI'll see if I can figure it out in a bit.23:15
alteregoshapr, I think maybe you were doing something that was beyond your knowledge of Ruby.23:15
shaprJiten: It does look like you have definite clue in Haskell.23:15
alteregoNo offense, sorry :)23:15
shapralterego: I don't think so, I was just trying to make an anonymous function.23:16
shapralterego: No offense taken, I like to learn new stuff.23:16
alteregoshapr, in what way anonymous?23:16
Jitenshapr: that did take me 2 days though.23:16
Jitenwell, few hours each day23:16
shaprJiten: If you contribute to some of the open source Haskell projects, I think you could get a job.23:17
Jitenhaskell is the first functional language I've even tried.23:17
alteregoIckle example: p = lambda {|*args| args.each {|a| puts a}}23:17
alteregoYou can then do p.call("what", "ever", "you", "like", 1, 2, 3, 4)23:18
alteregoUnfortunately I can't count higher than 423:18
Jitenshapr: that's the only thing I have to show at the moment though. I need to finish the book too. I've only read half of it so far.23:19

Jitenshapr: that's damn big channel.23:21
alteregoI can't stand arrogant programmers.23:21
alteregoI'm crap, I'll admit it :)23:22

derfWhy on earth would you want one of those?23:25
alterego:)23:25
shaprkpel: I think that misconception comes from the fact that strings are lists of characters.23:25
alteregoWhat is a "real job" anyway.23:25
shaprkpel: But I've never had any CS courses, so I'm not sure.23:26
shaprSo after programming for twenty five years, I'm actually going to start a CS degree.23:26
alteregoHah23:26
alteregoshapr, I'd imagine with 25 years of experience you should know what you're talking about by now ;)23:26
shaprIn some small areas, yeah...23:27
alteregoWell, a string is conceptually a list of characters. But what's a character?23:27
Takgod damn it23:27
shaprHopefully I won't catch foot in mouth disease.23:27
kpelshadov: the strings are lists as you said, the keyboard "could be seen as an infinite list" blah, blah, blah23:27

alteregoWell, it depend on the "character encoding" I'd imagine :)23:28
shapralterego: Even in UTF-8 that can be hard to answer.23:28
alteregoWell, kind of.23:28
kpela character is a digital represenation of a symbol, right?23:28
alteregoIn C it's simple. There's no such thing as a character.23:28
