GeneralAntillesHoly hell. Jet lag round two.00:23
SpeedEvil:/00:24
SpeedEvilI have a foolproof method for avoiding jetlag.00:24
SpeedEvilDon't fly anywhere.00:24
SpeedEvilThough I make up for it by having a comedically disturbed sleep schedule without mechanical assistance.00:25
lcukn900computers are still mechanical00:26

NIN101My N900 LED sometimes blinks red, what does it mean(I guess nothing good :-))?00:34
NIN101at least when I try to charge it...00:34
*** hannesw has joined #maemo00:36
myuuon nit droid?00:36
arvutwill a backup be enough to restore the phones settings, apps, calender and bookmarks if I choose to reflash it to fix it after I messed it up by installing a devel app?00:37
SpeedEvilIt will not restore apps.00:37
SpeedEvilIt has a list of apps that you can choose to restore drom the repositories00:37
lcukn900a backup stores lists of apps and repos00:37
arvutnot even reinstall them/redownload them?00:37
NIN101or it isn't even red, probably orange but never gets really turned on, don't know how to explain. I thnk my usb port is dying, damn it.00:38
SpeedEvilIf the repositories are down - angry birds - say - you can't redownload00:38
*** bergie has joined #maemo00:38
arvutright00:38
arvutand if I reflash, extras-devel will be disabled by default?00:38
*** perlite_ has joined #maemo00:39
arvutNIN101: I've seen that colour of my LED too once or twice. I know there is an app that lets you configure the led, if that helps00:40

arvutbtw, if x.org is running at 70% cpu and logging something to the /tmp, does that indicate a f-up?00:42
*** Pavel has joined #maemo00:42
SpeedEvilDepends on the something.00:43
SpeedEvilIn some cases, X having high CPU is not an error, as the app  is asking  X to do work00:43
SpeedEvilwhat's the error/00:43
*** FIQ|n900 has quit IRC00:45
arvutwell, from what I can tell, the device is slow (really slow) from time to time), screen stays black for longer than it should and top reports high cpu usage on X.org -logfile00:46
arvuthildon-desktop likes to freeze too00:47
arvutin other words, not responding, asking me if I wanna close it00:47
*** zap has quit IRC00:49
SpeedEvilLook at /tmp/Xorg.0.log00:49
arvutthe problem as far as I can tell is that x.org goes from the normal 3.2% cpu usage to 30, 50 & 70% cpu usage, which worries me00:49
arvutSpeedEvil: anything I should look for in it? I already did and I didn't understand it that well00:50

arvutsounds good then, wanna teach me how to read it btw?01:23
SpeedEvilyeah - I get the same warnings at the start too - so that's not an issue01:23

*** Smily has quit IRC01:24

*** rcg has quit IRC01:25
SpeedEvilyes01:26
arvuta completely different question then; do you know what encryption the backups are protected with? (when they got pw's) =)01:27
SpeedEvilAren't tehy zips?01:27
SpeedEvilWhch would imply it's zip passwords.01:27
SpeedEvil(which are broken, with a known plaintext attack if you know 13 bytes at the begiinign of any file BTW)01:27
arvutI tend to create awesome backups of my desktops and how things are arranged exactly the way I want it to be, then pw them01:28
arvutthe 13 first bytes of the file when hexdumped?01:28
*** larsivi has quit IRC01:29

SpeedEvilIf you know 13 bytes of the compressed file.01:29

SpeedEvilThen you can work out the password of the archive.01:29
*** lcukn900 has joined #maemo01:29
arvutoh01:29
arvutI bet thats googlable, but if you'd care to explain in more detail that would be cool too =)01:30
arvutwhy is it so quiet in here at this time of the day anyway? is it a channel mostly used by working devs?01:31

*** liar has quit IRC01:33
*** florian has quit IRC01:33
arvutI scry the internet and chat with /dev/null then01:33
arvutI found a funny topic about xorg in the maemo.org forums.. "what the hell is xorg" =)01:34
SpeedEvilJust google known plaintext zipfile01:35
vldcnstSpeedEvil: are you sure you can get the password?01:35
SpeedEvilI don't think you can get the password, you can get a password that works though01:36

arvutBCMM: since maemo is a linux distro then I would say they are :)01:47
*** Diod has joined #maemo01:47
BCMMi said "otherwise"01:47
arvutoh, sorry =P01:48
arvutI'm mostly a windows user myself, should really go recompile the kernel for my desktop gentoo install. just can't be bothered todo it :|01:49
BCMMgentoo user here, and it's very little work to rebuild the kernel once it's set up right01:52
javispedroseems that guys are being serious with ipv6 this time01:52
BCMMthe gentoo manual favours a needlessly fiddly install method01:52
javispedrolet's see if google can finally flip the switch to dual for once dammit.01:52
strohhalmOo01:52
BCMMjavispedro: well, they can't do anything else now01:52
BCMMthe addresses are actually all gone...01:52
javispedrooh, they can.01:53
javispedroI am already starting to hear about hierarchical NAT...01:53
BCMMyeah, i suppose they can. i really do not want the carrier-grade NAT solution01:53
BCMMin the long run, that has to be more expensive01:53
derfThere's only so many ports.01:53
javispedroit's not necessarily N-to-1 nat01:54
*** hardaker has joined #maemo01:55
arvutBCMM: problemm is, mne paniced, someone in #gentoo said it was due to lack of fs support, which would make sense01:55
arvuts/mne/mine/01:55
BCMM"not syncing"?01:55
infobotarvut meant: BCMM: problemm is, mine paniced, someone in #gentoo said it was due to lack of fs support, which would make sense01:55
arvutdelete that infobot!01:55
javispedrotime to look at the sad state of home adsl routers again..01:56
*** cyborg-one has quit IRC01:56
arvuthmm, cant remember, I do have a nice gentoo-style grub with win7 as first choice tho01:56
arvutjavispedro: what about them? shall they crash and burn?01:57
*** buntfalke has quit IRC01:58
javispedrothey DO crash and burn.01:58
arvutjavispedro: I've  never had one. but sure, yes they do01:59
arvutbtw, I love woodmann for its many great articles :) And thank you SpeedEvil for telling me about the known plaintext attack. now I got enough reading for the whole weekend :)02:00
arvutthat.. sounded fairly odd02:01
GeneralAntillesThe trend towards integrated routers/modems is scary.02:02
GeneralAntillesI have yet to see one that isn't useless garbage02:02
lcukyet they are out there in their millions02:03
SpeedEvilGeneralAntilles: I've got one that I would like - if only it had source. (and a few more megs of RAM)02:03
lcukso they must be "good enough"02:03
SpeedEvilLinux, busybox, configurable.02:03
GeneralAntilleslcuk, no, people are just to under informed to know otherwise.02:03
SpeedEvilI'd really love an opensource DSL stack.02:04
lcukGeneralAntilles, under informed to what?02:04
GeneralAntillesand Microsoft products have set their expectations of technology very low.02:04
SpeedEvilBut I may be wierd.02:04
GeneralAntilleslcuk, sorry, too jet lagged to play this weird game with you.02:04
lcukand if you want to make a change, go to the isp with your notes/ideas/principles02:04
* javispedro likes integrated router+modem02:05
javispedroone reason: power.02:05
javispedrosadly, I do see they all suck.02:05
lcukGeneralAntilles, not game playing, just wondering what the problem with them is02:05
lcukoutside lab conditions they tend to work02:05
SpeedEvilI'm actually going to an 'old linux box' for a router, from an integrated unit in a few days.02:05
lcukpeople tsk and tut and just get replacement from isp if its tits up02:05
lcukgives folks something to talk about02:05
* javispedro would do that if it weren't for ... power, you guessed it!02:05
SpeedEvilHowever, the old linux box is a laptop that uses ~6W - so it's comparable with the router.02:05
SpeedEvilAnd it can also run other stuff.02:05
javispedrolaptop that uses ~6W? where?02:06
SpeedEvilIt was cheaper than a pogoplug02:06
lcuk"argggg the modem * from $ISP screwed up my internet"   * its a modem/router/coffee machine02:06
javispedroit's an atom?02:06
SpeedEviljavispedro: Thinkpad x60s02:06
SpeedEviljavispedro: Though I forget how I got 6.5W - it's about 9 now.02:06
javispedrothat sounds more reasonable... and screen off and totally idle.02:06
*** MadViking has quit IRC02:07
javispedrolcuk: it comes with an usb port these days so they plug their ipods on it and then complain it didn't give their ipods internet02:07
javispedro(I'm talkinga bout cheap-o ipods, not the iphone-like ones)02:08

yigalso I'll bring back the same Qs I had this afternoon.  Why are reasonable features threads, tags, and fullscreen no implemented in Modest?  Is it because it's too difficult, in a reasonable way, or are people very lazy.  I have to imagine the 1st but well?05:30
*** maybeArgh has joined #maemo05:31
*** maybeWTF has quit IRC05:31
ShadowJKclaws does threads, but atleast on N810 it takes like 30 minutes and full swap usage to update my email :)05:32
ShadowJKI imagine it's pretty hard to make threads both low-memory, responsive (because if it responds slower than a web browser I can just use webmail) and not do just 100 posts at a time like modest :P05:33

mr_jrtI'd settle for just being able to select which folders I want to subscribe to, and whcih I want notificatiosn for. Closely followed by changign the way sent mails are apparently handled (i.e. not stored on device, stored in configurabel location, etc.). One for the todo list methinks.05:48

yigalsorry drunk and playing poker, but thanks for the discourse05:59
yigalI mean thanks for the attempt to answer the question, but I think threads, and tags shouldn't be a crazy memory problem nor fullscreen06:00
yigalI mean Mutt does that so?06:00
yigalI guess a desire to make it compatible with Outlook or something?06:01

dangergrrlif you use the code on a public web werver you must offer source code07:15
SpeedEvilthe 'distribution' clause is messy for that kind of stuff, yes.07:15
SpeedEvilOh - that's a seperate issue.07:16
SpeedEvilthen07:16
dangergrrlwell you aren't distributing the code so gpl does not apply to custom versions07:16
dangergrrlyou can customize and never release under gpl07:17
dangergrrlbut you are not the end user07:17
SpeedEvilI was assuming it was clarifying the uissue about when distribution occurs on rented computers, or customers computers that you install it on.07:18

GeneralAntillesSo, Windows 8 on ARM.08:17
GeneralAntillesHow much do you think that's going to jumpstart the CPU race?08:17
robbiethe1stUnless it can run legacy apps through a VM, I don't think it really will08:19
GeneralAntillesYeah, that's always been the big issue.08:20
GeneralAntillesBut, substituting crufty corporate environments where that's usually actually an issue.08:21
robbiethe1stBecause it'll essentially be the same as Android: a mobile OS  with apps designed for the platform.... and not compatible with x86 legacy and other "full" apps08:23
dangergrrlwindows 8 is meh08:24
dangergrrlwe can do better08:24
dangergrrlwith no sweat08:24
robbiethe1stWell, I'd argue that if it was able to run old Windows programs "natively" via a seamless VM, it'd be worth it on tablets. But if not, no reason to pay the MS tax.08:34

javispedroit says "why is python a strongly typed language"17:17
rm_workkhertan: i never said there was17:17
rm_workjavispedro: it's a FAQ17:17
khertanrm_work: ah sorry didn't understand :)17:17
javispedrothen it proceeds to say "strong typed = statically typed + strongly typed"17:17
rm_workjavispedro: it says that's common usage17:17
javispedrodefining statically typed as "can tell which type a variable refers to, for example through type inference, without executing the program"17:18
javispedrobut on python, noone can tell the type of variable without executing the program!17:18
DocScrutinizersound odd17:19
rm_workhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_typing#Variation_across_programming_languages17:19
javispedroand if we keep to their definition of strong typing,17:19
edheldilrm_work:  is not the problem that in P3, print is a function?17:19
javispedrothen why I can use a real as an int?17:19
rm_workjavispedro: see bullet 217:19
javispedroint as a real?17:20
edheldili.e. use print(1)17:20
javispedro*17:20
rm_workedheldil: possibly :/17:20
rm_work"The object-oriented programming languages Smalltalk, Ruby, Python, and Self are all "strongly typed" in the sense that typing errors are prevented at runtime and they do little implicit type conversion, but these languages make no use of static type checking: the compiler does not check or enforce type constraint rules. The term duck typing is now used to describe the dynamic typing paradigm used by the languages in this group."17:20
javispedroduck typing does not have anything to do with static or dynamic according to that same wikipedia page17:22
javispedroit says something about "if a bird walks like a duck and swims like aduck then it is a duck"17:22
DocScrutinizer(strong types) see: everything is an object, so Ocomplex is an object, but not evry object is compatible to Ocomplex17:22
javispedrosomething you could check statically or dinamically, I couldn't care less.17:22
edheldilkhertan:  ah, sorry, you said it already17:22
* DocScrutinizer wnders if a single person on this earth will get his point17:22
* javispedro would call that structural typing, but that's another story..17:23
javispedro(not DocScrutinizer's point, but the point about the duck)17:23
DocScrutinizerI guess what I want to say is: it's all about your paradigms17:24
DocScrutinizertypes don't have to be disjunct by definition17:25
rm_workhttp://diveintopython.org/getting_to_know_python/declaring_functions.html  <--- 2.2.117:25
DocScrutinizerit's about the paradigms of the particular language if >print( int 1)< is valid or not17:26
rm_workactually it is now17:26
rm_worki may have to revisit17:26
rm_workjust tried it again in a newer release17:26
*** Riussi has joined #maemo17:26
javispedrorm_work: I get your point. But Python has automatic conversions. (int -> real)17:27
javispedroso it's not strong by that definition either.17:27
DocScrutinizerobviously low level lang - like assembler, forth, c(?) - have a strong typing. Higher level lang tend to handle types in a more nifty way17:29

javispedroI've been reading about it and I prefer the old print syntax17:32

DocScrutinizer(musing about forth - it's actually a smartass inetractive macro assembler operating on a virtual CPU)17:32

khertanrm_work: and 3.2 surely fix the rest17:38
khertan:)17:38
javispedrowtf, they removed reduce in python 3.017:38
DocScrutinizerbut my point about c is that you are on your way to failure when you ever forget about c's nature of being an assembler rather than a compiler17:39

khertanGuido van Rossum comments on the elimination of map(), filter(), reduce() and lambda from Python 3000:17:39
khertan    About 12 years ago, Python aquired lambda, reduce(), filter() and map(), courtesy of (I believe) a Lisp hacker who missed them and submitted working patches. But, despite of the PR value, I think these features should be cut from Python 3000.17:39
javispedroI see that he added any/all builtins17:40

*** Chiku|dc has joined #maemo17:41
DocScrutinizer(way to failure) a common problem to coders learning on a high level languge though is that they forget they aren't operating in an entirely virtual abstract mathematical universe, and it takes TIME and RESOURCES to instatiate an object for each ascii character of the text in your editor17:43

* javispedro disagrees17:45
javispedrobecause before programming, you need algorithms.17:46

javispedrogood luck doing any of them in asm before truly mastering asm itself.17:46

DocScrutinizercouldn't think of any better way to kill maemo for good21:27
lcukn900if the qt apps are strong maemo  as an upstream ux/app provider to meego/harmattan is still practical21:28
JaffaI thought the "HE" stood for "Hacker Edition". i.e. the backport we got of OS2007 etc.21:28
DocScrutinizerand honestly - harmattan "meego"??? c'mon what's that? is it compatible to *anything* ?  does it have any future whatsoever?21:28
javispedroit is compatible to maemo.21:29
javispedroas long as you limit yourself to non-gui apps ;)21:29
Jaffalcukn900: I'm not entirely convinced of the niceness of maintaining Fremantle/Harmattan/MeeGo/Symbian apps. Having tried it for something as simple as Attitude.21:29
DocScrutinizerhahaha21:29
ShadowJKMeeGo compatibility, where MeeGo == QT, I think :-)21:29
lcukn900jaffa you did not try to maintain it, you rewrote it21:30
lcukn900big difference.21:30
lcukn900look at venemo, he has 1 codebase for qt, one app, available on everything from n8x0 n900 maemo meego ubuntu windows and probably a few i forgot21:31
lcukn900qt *CAN* do crossplatform relatively easily21:31
DocScrutinizerto me all fits nicely into Elop's masterplan to keep Nokia down21:31
javispedrolcukn900: he uses Qml?21:31
lcukn900but if you decide to rewrite it is more troublesome21:31
lcukn900your attitude had you used native qt woud be happy21:32
lcukn900javis idk he uses qt21:32
DocScrutinizerreally a Machiavellian genius, this Elop21:32
javispedroprolly QWidgets21:32

javispedroWindows 8 new default API for the "tablet mode" apps is ... HTML+Javascript21:32
javispedronot dot net, not silverlight.21:33
* ShadowJK has doubts about this QML thing though, python is already memory and CPU hungry.. How much heavier is QT and QML?21:33
lcukn900but using python and bindings and changing direction partway through is what yours went wrong jaffa, you  are spending more time now remaking it than just tweaking your simple lowest common denominator base code21:33
lcukn900plus it would have been marginally faster :p21:34
*** rd has joined #maemo21:35
lcukn900python bindings prevented attitude from running everywhere qt ran before as well, attitude on windows would be trivial21:35
DocScrutinizera pity to see Nokia shooting their own foot, then recharging and shooting the other, then asking "who's gonna help us to shoot some other peripherals, or shoot at head if you like that better"21:36
lcukn900there are other issues for sure with the direction i took, but my code runs happily on the devices i targeted and still today is happy compiling and running on n8x0 up and on meego machines21:37

ShadowJKGeneralAntilles, ah the usual Nokia piss-off-users, uh, I mean "segmentation"? :)23:02
DocScrutinizerI *might* do this if YT upload server has same IP all the time and I'd do that stuff frequently23:02
GAN900Product timing, I guess.23:02
ShadowJKDocScrutinizer, yeah obviously only worth it for multihour uploads where you manually check netstat to find the connection and manually create iptables rules to ratelimit23:02
rm_workGAN900: what's up? some news?23:03
GAN900rm_work, nothing exciting.23:03
rm_workk23:03

DocScrutinizerlinux community never been in need of manufacturers to deliver their crap with working OS23:06
DocScrutinizeralas that'S a bit of FOSS Nokia never got the catch of23:06
DocScrutinizernot even with meego where they really had the chance to go for BSP_only policy23:08
DocScrutinizerinstead of a decent BSP they now come up with this "meego" harmattan HE abomination23:09
DocScrutinizeranother missed opportunity to do the *right* thing and *not* shoot your own foot23:10
* DocScrutinizer really wonders what makes Nokia think they got the know how to build a decent OS, from "scratch"23:11
DocScrutinizereven more, what makes them think anybody really wants them to do that23:11
lcukDocScrutinizer, technically it is possible23:12
lcukbecause didn't one single Finn choose to do exactly that about 30 years ago23:13
DocScrutinizerindeed23:13
ruskie30 years ago?23:14

DocScrutinizerhonestly, Nokia missed a opportunity when they dropped (or never even thought of) shipping their devices with $random_proprietary_OS (sybian / wincrap) *plus* a decent linux BSP, maybe including a barebones FOSS dialer implementation23:20
DocScrutinizerwhy ICD2  ?23:21
DocScrutinizerwhy location_lib?23:21
DocScrutinizerwhy blobs for calendar and dialer and whatnot?23:21

ShadowJKicd at the time was probably sensible because nm wasn't working and the nm authors were outright hostile to patches23:23
DocScrutinizerall just cruft born from the idea they need to ship their hw with a shiny working full fledged linux OS. Drop that idea, ship with WinP7 plus a linux BSP23:23
DocScrutinizergive support to linux community when they run into problems on porting their stuff to Nokia hw. everybody happy, and for sure we'd be way further with that concept being followed back on rise of N900 than we are now with fremantle just another 50% blobs release23:26
DocScrutinizerand next OS from Nokia quite likely is the same again23:26
*** zap has quit IRC23:26
DocScrutinizerwhere "next OS" == harmattan "meego"23:27
