MaxdamantusWhy would `switch` on strings have an O(1) search?00:08
WizzupMaxdamantus: can be hash table like00:09
Wizzuplike a python 'string switch': {'a': foo(), 'b': bar()}['a']00:09
Wizzupactually, that is wrong00:09
Wizzuplike a python 'string switch': {'a': foo, 'b': bar}['a']()00:09
Wizzupyou get the idea00:09
MaxdamantusI doubt it's likely to do that.00:10
MaxdamantusUnless you actually have a large number of strings, it's going to be faster to just do the comparisons.00:10
Maxdamantusor if there are too many common prefixes.00:11
WizzupI'm just suggesting a way it could be done00:11
WizzupNot saying that it is doing that00:11
Maxdamantushash functions are also O(n), not O(1).00:12
*** l_bratch has joined #maemo00:20
*** vakkov has quit IRC00:31
ceeneread access to a dictionary is O(1)00:35
ceenethis thing is receiving an index, say 7, translating 7 to say stream:error and then comparing stream:error with dozens of possible texts00:36
ceenewhy do that, when you can just switch(index) case 700:36
ceenethat's O(1)00:36
ceeneand not a back-and-forth mapping from hash to key and viceversa00:36
MaxdamantusWhere do you get the 7 from?00:38
PaliMaxdamantus: there are hash functions which have access in O(1)00:38
Paliin worst case, not only approx00:39
MaxdamantusSure. You can analyse the table and determine a unique set of character indices to compare.00:39
Maxdamantuseg, if you have `case "stream:error": ..; case "stream:features": ..`, you can determine that you only need to compare index 7 before checking that it matches the expected string.00:40
Paliyes, that "smart" compiler could do00:41
Maxdamantus(and create a jump table based on that single bit)00:41
MaxdamantusA compiler that smart would probably also do it with an if/else chain.00:42

ceenei've found this thing at my parents, from when i was little :)00:53
DocScrutinizer05hihi, I once had to dealwith a 'smart' pascal compiler that for a >>var I : int16; case I of 1 : xfoo;  -1 : ybar;  end; << created a jump table of humble 32k words length00:55
DocScrutinizer05well, at least it tried to, then segfaulted00:55
DocScrutinizer05I had to redirect the compiler listing to printer, to find out which line it blew chunks00:56
MaxdamantusAlthough I'm suspicious of the test (since such tests are likely to trigger tangential compiler optimisations), a randomly generated 10k `if` table on strings seems to be about 10× faster than the equivalent `switch` table on a recent version of V8.00:56
Maxdamantuson an older version of Spidermonkey, the `switch` is about 6× faster, and on a newer version it's about the same.00:57
kerioayy javascript lmao00:58
Maxdamantusbut that should be enough information to be suspicious generally of picking some language feature over another language feature for performance reasons without actually having good reasons to.00:58
Maxdamantushttps://gist.github.com/Maxdamantus/853b69b3bb900cad37c254a902b0ccc900:59
Maxdamantusinput generated with: cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9 \n' | sed '/^\([^ ]\+\) \([^ ]\+\)$/!d' | head -10000 >input00:59
ceenei don't even know how to execute that thing01:00
Maxdamantusjs genif.js <input >testif.js01:01
Maxdamantusjs testif.js01:01
Maxdamantusnode -e 'this.print = function(s){ console.log(s); }; require("./testif");'01:02
ceeneonly thing i've ever done on javascript is alert("This is a very cool web page")01:02
Maxdamantuswhere `js` is the program you can build from the gecko-dev/mozilla-central source tree.01:02
ceenei'll just believe you then :)01:03
ceenei agree that case vs if may not be faster01:03
ceenebut i can't believe that arbitrary length string comparison is better than a look up table01:03
ceenewhen you already have that look up table01:04
*** ced117 has quit IRC01:04
MaxdamantusShould probably also try a preconstructed object.01:05
ceenehttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/swap_on_video_ram01:05
ceenecan this thing work on n900?01:05
DocScrutinizer05no01:08
ceeneoh :(01:08
MaxdamantusThe actual map is a lot faster, indicating that the switch doesn't generate a hash table.01:08
ceenethat's the kind of crazy thing that could have worked01:08
Maxdamantus(it gets different results though, since the map isn't ordered)01:08
Maxdamantusactually, it doesn't necessarily indicate that.01:09
ceenewell, gotta go to sleep01:09
ceenenight night!01:09

KotCzarnyi have a code that maps song lenghts to song md5s, so i just did a hashing on those md5s to fit in int07:51
KotCzarnyworks nicely and luckily no collisions07:52
KotCzarnyhad to do that to fit it in few hundred of kB instead of few MB07:53
KotCzarnynot to mention it's probably faster to lookup an int than 32byte07:54

KotCzarnyhow do i scrub my ext4?10:30
MaxdamantusYou can't.10:31
* KotCzarny sad panda10:31
Maxdamantusext4 is a degenerate filesystem that doesn't have integrity checks.10:31
KotCzarnyis ntfs better?10:31
KotCzarnyalso i think i have saw checksumming option in ext410:32
MaxdamantusDunno.10:32
*** futpib_ has joined #maemo10:32
keriobtrfs has checksumming10:32
keriobecause it's a cheapo clone of zfs10:32
kerioext4 doesn't, because it's a toy filesystem10:33
KotCzarnySince the 3.6 kernel ext4 suppports metadata checksumming10:34
Maxdamantusbtrfs is like zfs that does fewer stupid things, like loading things into RAM twice.10:34

zZap-Xi think we should all stop using whatsapp and try and get our friends to use https://whispersystems.org/14:24
zZap-Xand port that to N900 insteaad14:24
luke-jrwhy not standard XMPP?14:38
parazyd^14:45
zZap-Xaye ok14:49
sixwheeledbeastmore devices need cross platform SIP and XMPP, OTB. N900 had this, other devices need proprietary apps from app stores14:53
sixwheeledbeastthe issue is getting others to switch from these proprietary systems they have been using for so long.14:54
sixwheeledbeastyou can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink...14:54
M4rtinKone issue with XMPP is audio/video AFAIK14:55
M4rtinKIIRC there is still not one widely supported method of robust audio/video conferencing over XMPP14:56
M4rtinKpeople expect that more and more these days14:56
M4rtinKso many of the new IM services, including open source ones, usually provide audio/video conferencing by default14:56
sixwheeledbeastM4rtinK: Exactly my point15:02
M4rtinKfrom what I've seen about the open/semi open IM services15:03
M4rtinKTelegram seem to be quite popular15:03
M4rtinKbut too Whatsapp-like to my tastes (does something similar to the phone number nonsence whatsapp does)15:04
zZap-X"If your friends use Whatsapp, then maybe they are not your friends"15:04
M4rtinKthen Matrix (fully open source & federated) looks good15:04
M4rtinKkinda like XMPP/Jabber 2.0/done right15:04
M4rtinKand also tox15:05
zZap-XThere is always good old trusted SMS :D15:05
M4rtinKwhich is fully decentralized & encrypted, but kinda immature & the decentralization makes some things harder to do than on networks that are "just" federated15:05
M4rtinKlike having more accounts online under your identity15:06
zZap-Xmost smartphones have sms and email, i will use them instead for now15:06
M4rtinKwhich is a rather frequent use-case these days with people using a mobile device & PC or even multiple mobile devices15:07
zZap-Xor i could even actually phone somebody? i actually, maybe not15:07
Siceloexcept that phoning somebody can cost an arm & a leg in some places15:19
*** vakkov has joined #maemo15:22
*** L29Ah has left #maemo15:23
Siceloi fully agree with M4rtinK15:23
M4rtinKin any case more plugins for the Sailfish OS account system would be nice15:24
M4rtinKat least a Matrix one15:24
M4rtinKI'm using the Jabber/XMPP plugin and it work well15:24
Siceloi also am pissed off at whatsapp, and for years avoided using it ... unfortunately i've got 'real' peope to communicate with .. so it ended up that i didn't rally have a choice. trust me .. i tried to convert them to IRC/xmpp ... just didn't work15:25
*** L29Ah has joined #maemo15:25
SiceloM4rtinK: audio/video working with xmpp on sfos?15:25
zZap-Xeverybody uses facebook, everybody uses whatsapp... back in the old days it was Microsoft MSN lol15:31
zZap-Xim gonna see if i can get SMS working in a terminal, that would be great15:32
zZap-Xi believe there is a web interface for n900 sms15:33
Siceloyou can iirc (n900)15:33
zZap-Xace15:33
Sicelothat's the 'problem' with communication15:33
Siceloit's not about 'you' .. but you need a common ground15:33
Siceloin the form of a common language (english), or common medium (whatsapp)15:34
zZap-Xaye15:34
zZap-Xhttp://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control#Send_SMS15:36
zZap-Xi wonder if there is a tool what can send and recieve sms via email from your n90015:37
zZap-Xso when you get a sms, the n900 sends a email15:37
Siceloyou'd prolly want to hook to dbus15:38
