<air> hahahaha
<air> m$ spam on my project :)
<JimPanic> good night.
<NoorulIslaam> later...
<Cody`> anyone know if there is a ruby compiler?
<Cody`> be interesting to write an os with
<sigusr1> erhm.
<sigusr1> non-trivial.
<sigusr1> eg: What will you do when you need to garbage collect to allocate memory, but are in interrupt context.
<sigusr1> apart from die horrible screaming death.
<geist> oh I was just about to suggest that
<geist> well, guess he's not actually interested in any answers
<geist> to be more precise, writing super low level kernel stuff in a garbage collected language is very tricky at best, and that'd be only if you can finely control the garbage collector
<geist> now, writing higher level stuff is entirely possible
<geist> so actually to be more precise, what part of the OS are you intending to write in ruby? usually an OS is a large collection of layers of code, modules, binaries, etc
<trans> write an os that is pretty much just a ruby interpreter (?)
<geist> memory management becomes a problem
<geist> but sure, that'd be a strategy. it's what I was saying, you'd still need to write a layer there in something other than ruby
<geist> goddamnit, why isn't Cody` around anymore?
<geist> that really pisses me off. someone asks a question and just ****in wanders off
<trans> **** him
<trans> don't let it bother you =)
<Cody`> oh I'm here
<Cody`> sorry
<Cody`> screwing with other comp
<Cody`> broke mbr
<Cody`> yeah, higher level stuff
<Cody`> like kernel modules and such
<gianluca> Ah. 1 week spent in debugging. One simple semicolon. These are the moment I do not exactly love programming.
<ra017335> hi, did someone ever used bochs internal debugger ?
<trans> why do you not want to be in it?
<trans> wrng chan
<trans> sorry =(
<trans> at least i'm doing it less while at the same time switching more
<trans> =)
<jw***on> hi
<geist> sup
<jw***on> not much
<jw***on> getting ready to go dancing.
<sigusr1> hurr
<geist> well, most of us made it for 3 or 4 years
<geist> but it's a different employer now
<cdm> 3/4 years at Danger?
<sigusr1> *nod*
<sigusr1> I need to rebalance myself. right now I'm have way too much of "argh, gotta do so much stuff"
<geist> sigusr1: yes
<geist> and they'll just give it to you if you dont put a stop to it
<geist> that's what happened to Dave 1
<sigusr1> hmmm.
<sigusr1> yeah, tad frustrating though
<yahya> hello Mathis
<Mathis> hello everyone except yahya
<cdm> sigusr1 is @ Danger?
<geist> yeah, he does all the things I bailed on
<geist> he is my replacement. doing a much better job if I may say
<cdm> ahhh..yeah, manuel and jeff talked about him.
<cdm> ex-be guy too right?
<geist> nope
<cdm> ex-palm?
<geist> nope
<cdm> how do they know him...
<geist> sigusr1 is a youngun
<geist> they probably are talking about someone else. maybe Dave
<cdm> maybe.
<geist> the Last Remaining Be Guy
<cdm> ah
<sigusr1> heh
<sigusr1> It amuses ian to no end. ;)
<geist> heh
<cdm> onramp.ca
<cdm> travis - why you coming in from Canada?
<cdm> co-loco
<geist> because I live in canada
<geist> duh
<geist> I commute to cupertino from Toronto every day
<cdm> hahahaha....
<sigusr1> Hmmm.
<geist> sigusr1: intel code ****s
<sigusr1> yeah, I'm jsut remembering how much
<aegray> if something says it uses "software DMA to handle DMA requests" does that mean the actual dma copying is done in software?
<edon> morning
<Mikaku> hello edon
<edon> hi Mikaku
<r0nny> morning
<Cctoide> hey
<Cctoide> morning
<Cctoide> ***embly is fun :D
<kyelewis> lol
<Cctoide> o.0
<JimPanic> O_o
<Cctoide> o_O
<undesktop> just say no to ***embly
<JimPanic> heh
<mur> Say no to discrimination -- ***embly shoudl be compulsory subject in schools!
<Cctoide> Say no to micro$hat languages
<JimPanic> Cctoide, but i have to say, c# is a great language for application dev aiming at windoze - i like the concept
<undesktop> I agree
<undesktop> also great for Linux apps
<JimPanic> is there already a port?
<undesktop> mono
<JimPanic> ah, I remember
<undesktop> (it's not a port, it's a MS independent implementation)
<JimPanic> yea, that`s the point <g>
<undesktop> it's strange that there is MS software for Macs and even for some Unixes, but never for Linux
<JimPanic> have you ever seen a picture with steve balmer playing with a penguin?
<JimPanic> linux -> opensource
<JimPanic> well, I for myself, will develop applications for windoze and linux in D using SDL in future
<undesktop> is Steve Ballmer that psycho from Microhell?
<undesktop> D from W. Bright?
<mur> huh
<mur> anyone here?
<undesktop> no
<mur> Mikaku, sm.. no smalri
<mur> trans?!
<mur> traaasn?
<mur> 6 hours :/
<JimPanic> undesktop, yep walter`s D :)
<undesktop> JimPanic: is it useable?
<undesktop> did you write anything non-trivial in it?
<mur> usAble
<undesktop> use+able = useable
<mur> undesktop, it's written without e ;)
<mur> usable :P
<undesktop> grml, illogical
<JimPanic> oh, sorry. I`m writing quite fast and there sometimes come a letter that is not dictionary-compatible :P
<mur> unlogical :P
<JimPanic> unmurable :P
<JimPanic> undesktop, it`s usable, yes .. but as it`s not final yet it`d be crap to write commercial software with it
<undesktop> I see
<JimPanic> but for me it fits perfectly as I usually write open-source ;)
<undesktop> I'm quite interested in D, because it's finally a sane C dialect
<mur> hmm
<JimPanic> Imo it combines java`s complexity with C`s simplicity
<mur> bye
<undesktop> you mean: C++'s complexity?
<JimPanic> that too ;)
<JimPanic> undesktop, you know what`s great too? it`s a vital, living language
<Cctoide> the mega-tokyo forum is down :(
<JimPanic> lol
<Cctoide> http://www.mega-tokyo.com/forum/
<Cctoide> note: mega-tokyo.com != megatokyo.com
<JimPanic> what`s the other one?
<r0nny> webcomic
<JimPanic> ah
<Cctoide> mega-tokyo com is a site which has a rather cool section of its forum dedicated to OSdev
<undesktop> JimPanic: jup, that might be, but still small count of users
Return to osdev
