chetty: fifty
lines of code or less// so why even bother with a computer, just do it all in your head
mircea_popescu: "everything that runs on this machine is fifty
lines of code or less. one display page."
assbot: Logged on 06-08-2015 01:59:06; *: BingoBoingo thinks whole problem is that 'patch' demands line numbers instead
of using nearby
lines of code as landmarks

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "My VLSI tools take a chip from conception through testing. Perhaps 500
lines of source
code. Cadence, Mentor Graphics do the same, more or less. With how much source/object
code?"
gabriel_laddel: This is my experience. The C++/.NET
code for the device I was communicating with today - 250
lines of code to do what my single line does.
mircea_popescu: five billion
lines of proprietary
code in an unknown language that nobody has ever seen.
ascii_field: realize, i don't have a better solution than ntp. but it has to be done sanely (no dns; builds under musl or uclibc; doesn't introduce more than a few dozen
lines of code; and picks from $bigint ip on powerup; and sanity-checked from blockchain )
pete_dushenski: "Most
of those new
lines of code come from “the new amd gpu register description header”,
code that Torvalds says comprises “41 per cent
of the entire patch” and has created a “... somewhat odd situation where a single driver is about half
of the whole rc1 in number
of lines.”"
pete_dushenski: "ONE MILLION new
lines of code hit Linux Kernel 4.2 rc1"
mircea_popescu: my mental notes were more on the
lines of "o look, it's clear that the author understands what his
code does" and "o look, there's actually a reason for this stuff to be here"
decimation: I'm not sure if they also submitted the deps, but bitcoin weighs in at 16 million
lines of code ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> no fucking way am i adding 50
lines of code to deal with chrome's speshul. << WELCOME, BROTHER
mircea_popescu: no fucking way am i adding 50
lines of code to deal with chrome's speshul.
dhill: golang reports which
lines of code were never hit in test coverage.
mircea_popescu: it was going to be a signed version
of 448
lines of code mircea_popescu: dignork the only way you would be allowed to write
code, in a world where "hey, if infrastructure changes
code needs to change" is with index lists
of "all
lines affected by X - here" "all
lines affected by Y - here"
ben_vulpes: "Dear God, please don't use Pond for anything real yet. I've hammered out nearly 20K
lines of code that have never been reviewed. Unless you're looking to experiment you should go use something that actually works."
mircea_popescu: "oh i have 50 btc in a wallet somewhere, i contributed 5000
lines of code to bitcoin core that will have to be taken out later at considerable expense and i go to all th conferences if some scammer is paying the airfare (coach)"
assbot: Logged on 10-09-2014 11:54:21; mircea_popescu: other than proper cryptography for all foss, as discussed coupla days re gentoo overlays etc, i would fucking love for all
lines of code to come with a counter.
mats: "Sometimes... I look out the window and think... We're one cyberwar away from falling over. This can all be undone by a few
lines of code. And maybe it will. Maybe then we will repent. For the arrogance that we could live so tall, with so little thought to what supports beneath."

fluffypony: the ecp functions and the ecp curves are ~3400
lines of code decimation: yeah it is annoying how you must put 50
lines of pro-forma crap before you actually
code ben_vulpes: mod6 is perusing the tens
of thousands
of lines of excised
code decimation: running gentoo certainly gives you a motvation to scale down the
lines of code in your system
decimation: Total Physical Source
Lines of Code (SLOC) = 19,899
decimation: the other day I was testing a pile
of python
code that was driving hardware, and I wanted to just skip X
lines decimation: I like the templeos guy, he has a fixed number
of lines of code for his project, and wants to make it smaller
artifexd: <mircea_popescu> how the fuck it is
code never shrinks ? <<
Code does shrink sometimes. But not due to concentration on features or bugs. If it happens, it happens because the developer grows and improves. One
of my favorite days was deleting 60k
lines of code that I had written and replacing it with 100
lines. Simpler. Faster. Easier to understand.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: what next? pay people by
lines of code? << i've actually done that. "you get paid 1000 -
code count"
mircea_popescu: then derps derp about 50mn
lines of code. seriously, bitch ? that's your caching ?
mod6: and you're right, 50m
lines of code? that does what!!?
mircea_popescu: seriously, 50mn
lines of code ? there's no need to write 50 mn
lines of code. for anything.
mircea_popescu: We have 50 million
lines of C++
code. No, it's more than that now. I don't know what it is anymore. It was 50 million last Christmas, nine months ago, and was expanding at 8 million
lines a quarter. The expansion rate was increasing as well. Ouch."
mircea_popescu: "The biggest thing you can write in C++ is... also an operating system. Well, maybe a little bigger. Let's say three times bigger. Or even ten times. But operating system kernels are at most, what, maybe a million
lines of code? So I'd argue the biggest system you can reasonably write in C++ is maybe 10 million
lines, and then it starts to break down and become this emergent thing that you have no hope
of controlling,

☟︎☟︎ ben_vulpes: punkman: 1377
lines of code, 2103
lines of tests
dignork: ben_vulpes: well, his proper answer would be: here is x-
lines of python
code, that will overwrite privkey with 0's in your wallet, now load it as read-only
assbot: agenaille comments on Million
Lines of Code benkay: cost for maintenance
of legacy systems starts at 2x the greenfield rate with another factor proportionate to the number
of lines of code, another proportionate to number
of servers involved, and a third proportionate to how deep the clients pockets are.
bounce: what was that kid again that distributed a bit
of crappy
code with a makefile containing a few
lines of irc log that "everybody" just copies and pastes the rules, atop a list
of rules that miraculously work some
of the time altough most
of them were written the wrong way around?
decimation: ?The reports [from the contractor] just asserted that they had written X
lines of code. .?.?. For an executive, that?s just invisible; you don?t know what it means,? said Curtis Smith, who oversaw retirement processing from 1989 to 1994. He was a longtime federal employee with a PhD in English literature, supervising a massive technology project. ?I had no idea [if] they were making progress from month to month. And I just sort
of took it on
ninjashogun: Perlboy - you say that, but the 'shit' skils that let them 'float' are vitally important to the companies they're at. They do more for the mission than most
lines of code that are written at most organizations.
decimation: what's wrong with commenting out
lines of code? they are crumbs for students
mircea_popescu: "Does Deutsche Bank use php? Does HSBC use fucking MYSQL??? Do any
of those banks comment out
lines in production
code for debugging?!?!?!?"
kakobrekla: after a year
of simplicifying i ended up with 5k+
lines of code in 3 seperate processes
mircea_popescu: anyway, from what i read
of lisp it is very productive and should be easy if you know what you're doing so like 500
lines of code.
mircea_popescu: it's a concept from text analysis, roughly equivalent to "the length in
lines of the
code that can parse this"
mircea_popescu: at this rate i'll just end up hung in a rats nest
of cables and
lines of code.
nospinzy: can you give a little explanation, im not able to read 200
lines of code and understand exactly what i need to do
EskimoBob: he probably wrote 33000
lines of code to get the alert
kakobrekla: >but the most common definition
of physical SLOC is a count
of lines in the text
of the program's source
code including comment
lines. Blank
lines are also included unless the
lines of code in a section consists
of more than 25% blank
lines. In this case blank
lines in excess
of 25% are not counted toward
lines of code.
mircea_popescu: who the hell is proud
of having written MANY
lines of code ?
copumpkin: I have thousands
of lines of code of agda
