mod6: i'll keep working on it, might be an env related thing.
mod6: like, simple things such as examples and such, tons of barfing.
mod6: anyway, seems a common theme with me and ada. starting to wonder if my compiler version is fubar or someweird shit.
mod6: so im doing something idiotic im sure.
mod6: i can't honestly get it to compile though.
mod6: anyway, stan's ffa is exciting to read through.
mod6: but chalking it up to I don't know what I'm doing quite yet.
mod6: im starting to get into ada things... but i have a lot of problems with `gnatmake`, not sure exactly why.
mod6: i'm pretty excited about tmsr~ / trb/trbi things upcoming.
mod6: things are looking up. weather is getting nicer.
mod6: ah, well, was my mom's birthday today. so tough. but other than that...
mod6: pretty swell disposition dear sir.
mod6: !!key pete_dushenski
mod6: "we heard you like email, so we put some email in your email..."
mod6: the mn statefair has some /large/ specimens
mod6: it's been raining non-stop here too.
mod6: BingoBoingo: oh yeah, my tomatoes do well. i did 22 plants 2 years ago, 10 last year. im most fond of the cherries & romas.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo did i tell you about that time i grew the world's saddest eggplants ? << lol. last year, I got 1 out of like 3-4 plants. it looked more like a purple carrot.
mod6: up and testing on FG #3.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> even build -- himself. << one of the things im gonna be doing here, maybe with some handholding, is flashing xilinx chip with your fg.v
mod6: ah true enough; be nice to have some outside anal
mod6: could shortcircut that part in the random device?
mod6: yah, there's that too.
mod6: would be good to get these tests from at least 3 different people.
mod6: doesn't probably do us all justice if I run some of these test collections on some shitty hardware i may or may not have.
mod6: the sample bredth of os's above is probably fine... but would want a wider variety of hardware environments.
mod6: indeed, could take weeks if not months
mod6: and do that like on a bunch of different environments; gentoo, ubuntu 12/14/16, freebsd recent, openbsd (old?) and recent, deb 7 & 8, osx whatever versions
mod6: the only other thing I could do, would be to just collect /dev/random until >~1Gb then run the same tests.
mod6: like Mr. P. can run same tests, see what it looks like compared to mod6's.
mod6: asciilifeform: indeed. which is partly why maybe my posting these is useful for other folks. we can compare and contrast our fg's at least.
mod6: once all 5 are done, i'll pull together something more comprehensive for comparison; currently, i just have the raw output test data.
mod6: yeah, very steady on that part Framedragger
mod6: Will be moving on to third FG next.
mod6: It's one of those things, kinda neat/pretty, but a huge PITA for driving and other activities.
mod6: i've seen it snow on June 1st here few years ago.
mod6: yeah, it happens sometimes. april, lot of precip, sometimes gets cold enough.
mod6: (fun fact, it's snowing here... ever-so-slightly)
mod6: how's everything goin for you?
mod6: ah good, slept well for the first time in what seems like weeks.
mod6: (which also links gpg-contracts; required reading)
mod6: "everyone must share our opinion! 2+2=5!"
mod6: yeah. this is pretty landmark stuff here alf.
mod6: "We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%"
mod6: (paraphrasing here)
mod6: i think there's a knuth quote somewhere about know where the 3% of the code is that is performance-significant 'optimize that, not everything'.
mod6: that's super exciting. trying to do pre-optimizations of code rarely works out well. just keep it simple, and if any optimizations are required, made later.
mod6: incomplete/buggy app isn't even worth performance testing anyway.
mod6: will cross that bridge when we get to it. many other bridges ahead of it anyway.
mod6: was considering something of the same. but maybe it's not nearly as hard to get trbi or whatever we have under load; just hook it up, see what happens.
mod6: me and this lady wrote this performance framework to put this app under load and do simulations etc.
mod6: was wondering what we might do about such things with Ada or trbi
mod6: this morning's convo re profiling brings up some good points.
mod6: BingoBoingo: werd. 'tis useful anyway.
mod6: Wasn't a total loss this month being able to do some FG testing and eatblock testing.
mod6: I appreciate TMSR's patience while I dealt with these other irl things.
mod6: I've been meaning all month to get to do some ticket reorg for trb. I'm still going to try to it this week here.
mod6: So, anyway, back to business here..
mod6: ok, not 50. 37.5. my bad (@0.60 each)
mod6: that's nearly 50 cheeseburgers in 1992 dollars.
mod6: today i bought lunch for me & perf lady today. $22.50.
mod6: Anyway, thanks for being an ear.
mod6: doctors are there, but nurses run the show.
mod6: trinque: werd. and from what I can tell, because of the nursing unions etc, they basically run the place now.
mod6: strangely, it was effective. typically, you start barking shit at someone and you dig your own grave.
mod6: that was the only time that I needed to give someone a piece of my mind.
mod6: i stayed pretty pro throughout the entire affair, actually.
mod6: mircea_popescu: lol, no. i did't have to hurt anybody or anything. i just lost my cool.
mod6: a nurse was browbeating me about a bunch of shit... and then I just went off the deep end.
mod6: but not until i basically lost my marbles about the whole thing.
mod6: actually, so 7 were horrible. one helped me get my mom into the charity hospice.
mod6: ugh, the social worker cretins.
mod6: same with horse, etc.
mod6: mircea_popescu: anyway, as far as dog, 100 years ago; your dog got cancer? you take it out and shoot the poor thing.
mod6: these people will not go unaccounted for.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> "nursing profession" much like the various other "social science" experts, social workers etc are about as qualified as their weight in earthworms. << it was the social workers that were the ones who raised questions on us, after countless conversations about post-hospital care.
