ben_vulpes: dd on bsd (os x, claims 1994 vintage) does not appear
to pad
mod6: so yah
that's fucky
mod6: then
tried `yes | dd iflag=fullblock of=out bs=1024k count=10` and says 10485760 bytes out
mod6: <+asciilifeform> yes | dd of=out bs=1024k count=10 << ya,
tried
this, 122880 bytes out
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: can haz one moar plot -- just 300,000 and up, plox ? << i can do
this easy enough, still want
this?
doppler: oops, I actually do get
that warning.
totally didn't see it
the first
time. coreutils-8.27 here
jurov: on
the yes
test, i got warning:
mircea_popescu: if i have 3.5 blocks it allows me
to read 4 blocks last of which is half 0s
mircea_popescu: was a
time when data was a lot more valuable, basically on account of
the world not yet consisting of
the www pressed shitboard. in
that world of little valuable data, having any chunk "lost in
the pipes" would have appeared
typically soviet wasteful bureaucratism.
jurov: short reads prolly started as unix worse-is-better philosophy "api has
these huge warts but as it can be easily fixed by retrying in userspace, it's okay"..posix only snowballed on
doppler: asciilifeform: POSIX sure seems
to result in a lot of braindamage
trinque: folks
that want a charitable interpretation of
these might ponder a while re: who has
the most
time / resources
to shitgnominate
doppler: I agree
that -h should be
the default in userland utilities
shinohai: See
the du -h retardation from previous
thread
doppler: weird.. what's going on
there?
Framedragger: ben_vulpes: of course i do. i meant, i see it here,
too, and agree. but, yeah, 'tis a big problem
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i betcha it's been in
the old dog eared yellowed looseleaf notes
the posix copied.
ben_vulpes: but you don't see
that from your career of programmering
to date?
a111: Logged on 2017-04-18 20:09 Framedragger: flabbergasted. may as well embrace
tmsr's default malice interpretation here. because seriously.
Framedragger: i certainly see
that, especially looking at gnu cat (omfg)
ben_vulpes: Framedragger: complexity is a
the self-justifying disease of
the programmer's mind
Framedragger: yes well, granted it doesn't support additional command line args, so has
to handle fewer
things. but
then, maybe
that,
too, is *also* correct...
trinque: cat
thread is by now a yearly
tradition
Framedragger thought `dd` was one of
those few 'no hidden bullshit, what you see is what you get' utilities from better
times
Framedragger: flabbergasted. may as well embrace
tmsr's default malice interpretation here. because seriously.
☟︎ Framedragger: "Note if
the input may return short reads as could be
the case when reading from a pipe for example, ‘iflag=fullblock’ will ensure
that ‘count=’ corresponds
to complete input blocks rather
than
the
traditional POSIX specified behavior of counting input read operations." OK
Framedragger: it's like
the modern website. "i expect good bandwidth. you have low bandwidth? fuck yourself"
mircea_popescu: except for any
time you
try
to use
them, i find
they are fine
too! like one of
those comedic
toolboxes with a hammer
that's seemingly attached except if you pick it up
the metal falls off etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i
thought you
thought core utils is fine.
mod6: i'll
try
that next
time i run a
test.
mircea_popescu: as a general policy, when doing
things of
this nature (publishing intertesting stuff in forum) keep
the whole echafaudage for day+ while people comment.
mod6: ok, maybe might have
to just another drive and drop 'em on
there.
mod6: i just deleted
them
this am
mod6: i gotta recut all
the blocks anyway.
mod6: im certain
to screw
that up
mod6: let me get
that setup.
mod6: i'm up for a full re-eatblock. just want
to make sure I'm not missing anything
this
time :]
mircea_popescu: would be useful
to have
the whole saga, and you're all set up for it, so should be easier
than reconstructing
the setup later.
mircea_popescu: nevermind
the bunch of
these, i want
the whole eatblock'd blockchain.
mircea_popescu: can i has corresponding code snippet
that was executing ?
mircea_popescu: no, i know. but look at
the graph. so what ~exactly~ is
this 'db write wait
time'
that is ~=
the
total ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform possibly
time
to re-do
this whole eatblock instrumentation with a per-line
timing profiler.
