| 00:59.29 | SpeedEvil | a keyboard controler is insane. |
| 01:00.01 | SpeedEvil | What are you hoping to do with this? |
| 01:00.14 | Crying-wolf | killing some time... :p |
| 01:00.17 | SpeedEvil | In that keyboard controllers have many limits that will probably bite you |
| 01:00.23 | zerojay | It's a cool idea... it's just kind of too bad that Frets on Fire isn't very good. :/ |
| 01:00.46 | merkuralex_ | what phones do yall have and do you use data from your phone via your n810/n800? |
| 01:00.48 | Crying-wolf | i think its a good idea... the problem is ... how will it run on maemo ? :P |
| 01:01.05 | zerojay | No separation of tracks... what's the point if you can't hear your missing notes? Heh. |
| 01:01.10 | Crying-wolf | ii don't hava a phone yet... i ordered the n900 :P |

| 01:07.01 | SpeedEvil | merkuralex_: Done right, in christmas 2007 - the hardware I have with the OS that was sort-of-working in march 2007 could have been a basic phone, which worked, but was not pretty, and ran any linux app you wanted. |
| 01:07.05 | zerojay | I work for a videogame company and we used to work in cell phone games. When we fully switched over to consoles, we sold off our inventory internally. |

| 01:07.17 | zerojay | All sorts of protos. |
| 01:07.35 | SpeedEvil | merkuralex_: It was not done right - openmoko - the company - made many poor decisions. |
| 01:07.54 | zerojay | Cingular would send our NYC office new phones weekly... we'd have them for two weeks... but I was making the ports here in Canada, so I would do so many of them completely blindly. |
| 01:07.59 | merkuralex_ | SpeedEvil: ahh that sucks i was actually interested in it. |

| 01:09.54 | SpeedEvil | merkuralex_: The company - openmoko - had many things not in its favour - they were up against a very hostile to open-source buisness culture where they were primarily - hong kong - and had poor communications to the community |

| 01:35.42 | GeneralAntilles | merkuralex_, you might consider getting the 5800 if you can find it for under $250 |

| 01:36.25 | GeneralAntilles | merkuralex_, the 5800 experience isn't great, though. |
| 01:36.28 | merkuralex_ | Firebird, Yeah but who cares for what you get with the phat sexyness. |

| 01:45.00 | merkuralex_ | I never held a n800 but i know i love the keyboard that is on the n810 |

| 01:45.28 | chx | that ... without a physical keyboard... uh. |
| 01:46.11 | zerojay | chx: I'd probably go with the N900 then. Who knows... N920 might omit the keyboard. |

| 01:47.50 | merkuralex_ | if its skinnier |
| 01:47.56 | merkuralex_ | some people may even prefer no keyboard |
| 01:47.56 | SpeedEvil | A keyboard makes the device lots thicker. |
| 01:47.57 | merkuralex_ | regardless |
| 01:47.59 | SpeedEvil | Or more bulky |
| 01:48.07 | SpeedEvil | Or more fragile |

| 01:49.05 | merkuralex_ | i was not suggesting that |
| 01:49.09 | SpeedEvil | I'm saying it pretty much unavoidably adds >>5mm to the thickness |

| 02:49.43 | merkuralex_ | yeah i was about to mention that lol |
| 02:50.12 | merkuralex_ | Speaking of which does it support maemo 5 things already or is that just planned? |
| 02:50.51 | Thanatermesis | merkuralex_, nothing planned for the future too ? |
| 02:51.10 | merkuralex_ | Thanatermesis, what do you mean? |
| 02:51.54 | Thanatermesis | merkuralex_, so, the last firmware for n800 is chinook ? can't be possible to install maemo5 in the future on it ? |
| 02:52.06 | merkuralex_ | Well it could be i don't know about that |
| 02:52.12 | GeneralAntilles | Diablo is the latest. |
| 02:52.12 | merkuralex_ | But i would look forward to mer |
| 02:52.26 | GeneralAntilles | Thanatermesis, unless somebody else steps up to make a backport, Mer is the closest thing |
| 02:52.30 | GeneralAntilles | and better in a lot of ways. |
| 02:52.32 | Sho_ | Mer has one fatal flaw, sadly |
| 02:52.38 | Sho_ | No LCARS themes |
| 02:52.40 | Sho_ | :-) |
| 02:52.40 | merkuralex_ | Sho_, what is that? |
| 02:52.45 | merkuralex_ | hahahaha |
| 02:52.59 | GeneralAntilles | Sho_, I'm sure I could convince Ian to port them once they finalize the UI. |
| 02:53.13 | merkuralex_ | bleh i can't resist any longer i was going to sell my n810 on ebay but i think im going to get it back out and put mer on it. |
| 02:53.17 | Sho_ | GeneralAntilles: Unfortunately the top bar UI layout doesn't lend itself very well to LCARS :-/ |
| 02:53.21 | Thanatermesis | mer or diablo is the lastest ? btw which is the link about the update process again ? |
| 02:53.42 | GeneralAntilles | Thanatermesis, Mer is a separate distribution based on Maemo 5 and Ubuntu Jaunty. |
| 02:53.50 | GeneralAntilles | Diablo is the latest release for N8x0 (Maemo 4.1) |
| 02:53.56 | Sho_ | I know it's silly, but the LCARS theme is one of the reasons I bought first the N800 and then the N810 ;) |

| 02:54.21 | merkuralex_ | i have never watched star trek so i guess i cannot understand that :D |

| 02:56.12 | merkuralex_ | im going to go ahead and pull out the n810 and put mer on it :) |
| 02:56.15 | SpeedEvil | The big question is - can the n900 detect lifesigns? |
| 02:56.33 | merkuralex_ | SpeedEvil, LOL |
| 02:57.01 | Jucato | heh reminds me of the tricorder app on the n810 |

| 04:15.37 | timeless_mbp | anyway, if people want a newer kernel, they're going to need to use Mer |
| 04:15.59 | timeless_mbp | it's pretty much impossible w/ our model for us to ship the latest kernel |
| 04:16.52 | timeless_mbp | we take a kernel add the hardware support we need and then are effectively frozen (i.e. can't upgrade to a later kernel branch) for the development cycle of our product |
| 04:17.06 | timeless_mbp | which historically has been 12-24 months long |
| 04:17.46 | timeless_mbp | and fwiw, customers really do not want a hardware vendor to 1 day before release upgrade their kernel |

| 04:50.22 | RST38h | mourning indeed |
| 04:54.37 | timeless_mbp | oh darn |
| 04:54.44 | timeless_mbp | so much for using the audio buttons to do zooming |
| 04:54.54 | timeless_mbp | we've dropped that feature by fiat |
| 04:56.12 | mfinkle | timeless_mbp: maemo 5? |
| 04:56.27 | mfinkle | I just got a bug about that today |
| 04:56.27 | timeless_mbp | yes |
| 04:56.33 | timeless_mbp | to do which? |
| 04:56.51 | mfinkle | volume controls for zooming |
| 04:56.56 | mfinkle | works on n810 |

| 04:57.00 | mfinkle | not on n900 |
| 04:57.01 | wazd | timeless_mbp: can you please clarify is there some FM receiver in n900 or not?) |
| 04:57.18 | timeless_mbp | wazd: my understanding is that it's an unsupported hardware component |
| 04:57.30 | timeless_mbp | mfinkle: well, expected results for the n900 is "don't do that" |
| 04:57.36 | timeless_mbp | you break controlling background audio |
| 04:57.41 | mfinkle | I see |
| 04:57.42 | timeless_mbp | which is considered more important |
| 04:57.48 | timeless_mbp | remember the n900 is a phone |
| 04:57.53 | timeless_mbp | potentially a speaker phone |
| 04:58.09 | timeless_mbp | if i have my n900 using composite out plugged into a tv |
| 04:58.22 | timeless_mbp | and i'm in a call |
| 04:58.28 | timeless_mbp | but i'm looking at a web page |
| 04:58.32 | wazd | timeless_mbp: it's connected but without proper software or it's even disconnected? :( |
| 04:58.34 | timeless_mbp | which do i want the tv to do? |
| 04:58.44 | mfinkle | timeless_mbp: makes total sense |
| 04:58.48 | timeless_mbp | wazd: afaiu the hardware path exists |
| 04:58.53 | timeless_mbp | mfinkle: i'm not defending it |
| 04:59.00 | timeless_mbp | and our platform will of course not be consistent |
| 04:59.01 | mfinkle | we need an alternate zoom UI anyway |
| 04:59.11 | wazd | timeless_mbp: whew :) |
| 04:59.26 | timeless_mbp | mfinkle: have you seen the sony ericson w950i? |
| 04:59.27 | timeless_mbp | if not, i'd recommend you grab one |
| 04:59.27 | mfinkle | timeless_mbp: nope |
| 04:59.29 | timeless_mbp | it has a much better ui for zooming |
| 04:59.41 | mfinkle | I just grabbed an n900 |
| 04:59.51 | mfinkle | I'll look for screen shots |
| 04:59.58 | RST38h | would expect the +/- keys affect the current application |
| 05:00.19 | aSIMULAtor | morning |
| 05:00.22 | RST38h | i.e. when browser is on top, +/- do zoom, even if there is a phone call in progress |
| 05:00.44 | timeless_mbp | basically they give you an onscreen slider |
| 05:00.51 | timeless_mbp | but only when you ask to zoom |
| 05:00.51 | RST38h | whoever wants to change the volume (rare occurance anyway) will switch to the phone app |
| 05:01.02 | timeless_mbp | and the page zooms live as you drag the thumb |
| 05:01.17 | timeless_mbp | RST38h: please feel free to kill Martin (global UI owner) |
| 05:01.21 | timeless_mbp | or convince, that works too |
| 05:01.25 | timeless_mbp | doesn't care which RST38h does |
| 05:01.32 | timeless_mbp | either would be rather convenient |
| 05:01.54 | timeless_mbp | mfinkle: in fennec, this would effectively be: |
| 05:02.01 | timeless_mbp | 1. drag screen left to expose the back button |
| 05:02.10 | RST38h | Assigning global functions to buttons is a bad, messy idea. Any non-believer only needs to check Symbian phones. |
| 05:02.11 | timeless_mbp | 2. click the zoom button which would be below the forward button |
| 05:02.41 | RST38h | *Especially* UIQ phones, although S60 is also guilty of this |
| 05:02.46 | mfinkle | timeless_mbp: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478038 |
| 05:02.47 | timeless_mbp | 3. an overlay appears either to the left of the right bar or at the bottom of the screen flush to an edge with a zoomer |
| 05:03.11 | timeless_mbp | "option 2" from https://bug478038.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=390404 |
| 05:03.20 | timeless_mbp | please |
| 05:03.32 | mfinkle | ah, I have a patch in there for option 1 |
| 05:03.35 | timeless_mbp | but not in the center of the screen |
| 05:03.46 | timeless_mbp | the w950i uses something like 2 |
| 05:03.49 | timeless_mbp | it's awesome |
| 05:03.52 | timeless_mbp | i really wanted that |
| 05:04.02 | timeless_mbp | step based zooming for a touch device is incredibly lame |
| 05:04.11 | mfinkle | good point |
| 05:04.14 | wazd | "option 3" http://tabletui.wordpress.com/2009/09/04/fremantle-browser-zoom/ :) |
| 05:04.44 | timeless_mbp | wazd: for reference we're internally still microb |
| 05:04.57 | timeless_mbp | however for marketing purposes "i.e. to screw things up" we're "Maemo Browser" |
| 05:05.10 | aSIMULAtor | heh |
| 05:05.17 | timeless_mbp | that won't change until we replace microb with some other core (e.g. fennec) |
| 05:05.32 | timeless_mbp | mfinkle: anyway |
| 05:05.40 | timeless_mbp | does my approach make sense? |

| 05:05.49 | timeless_mbp | and really, it should be at an edge |
| 05:05.55 | timeless_mbp | because otherwise your hand covers most of the screen |
| 05:05.58 | RST38h | wazd: BTW, seeing that you already looked at Fremantle theme design, can buttons and other small UI elements be themed as well? |
| 05:06.04 | timeless_mbp | it's less of a problem on a large touchscreen using a stylus |
| 05:06.11 | timeless_mbp | but we're a small touchscreen using a finger |
| 05:06.12 | mfinkle | timeless_mbp: yes, makes sense |

| 05:06.59 | timeless_mbp | it works fairly well in microb |
| 05:07.07 | timeless_mbp | and since the technology is pretty much the same |
| 05:07.11 | timeless_mbp | it shouldn't work much worse in fennec |

| 05:08.59 | merkuralex_ | lol |
| 05:09.01 | RST38h | wazd: so, there is a way to beautify those slider handles, sliders themselves, menu items, etc? |
| 05:09.04 | timeless_mbp | or the n900's language switcher |
| 05:09.23 | timeless_mbp | which at the end says in the language you're leaving, something incredibly long w/ two buttons in a language you don't speak |

| 05:45.34 | merkuralex_ | asimulator was that directed at me? |
| 05:45.34 | aSIMULAtor | wtf |
| 05:45.39 | aSIMULAtor | yz |
| 05:45.46 | hari_ | Any idea why the n900 doesn't work with AT&T 3G bands? (Just out of curiosity) |
| 05:45.47 | merkuralex_ | uhhh no it uses our minutes lol |
| 05:45.52 | aSIMULAtor | sucks :( |
| 05:46.04 | merkuralex_ | but my data currently charges me per mb or whatever |
| 05:46.07 | merkuralex_ | which is bullcrap |
| 05:46.14 | merkuralex_ | cause the site says im on the unlimited plan |
| 05:46.33 | Stskeeps | wazd: i have an artist in my incoming Mer people, should i send him along to you? |
| 05:47.03 | merkuralex_ | anyway mace you said you had a psp did you put custom firmware on it and was it a 2000? |
| 05:47.11 | RST38h | hari: N900 band selection corresponds to european bands |
| 05:47.29 | RST38h | hari: In the US, TMobile supports roughly the same bands, but AT&T does not |
| 05:48.07 | RST38h | hari: So, to support AT&T, Nokia would have to produce a different model |
| 05:48.16 | wazd | Stskeeps: sure, ask him if he's gonna do something or disappear like others :D |
| 05:48.20 | hari_ | ah ok RST38h that's good to know .. does that mean a most (or lot) of Nokia's Symbian smartphones have seperate models for American markets? |
| 05:48.32 | merkuralex_ | MaceN8x0, read my question you bastard!!! |
| 05:48.33 | RST38h | hari: Lots, yes |
| 05:48.34 | merkuralex_ | :D |
| 05:48.42 | Stskeeps | wazd: want a mailing list where you can control your minions? |
| 05:48.53 | Stskeeps | we already have one, so i can ask him to subscribe there |
| 05:48.57 | hari_ | RST38h, So there might be hope of a n900 North American market too? Eventually? Couple of months? |
| 05:49.00 | aSIMULAtor | yeah separate models so they can rape the features and functionality :P |
| 05:49.01 | RST38h | hari: Good thing is that most of them support all GSM bands, US and Europe. So at least your GSM/EDGE will work everywhere |
| 05:49.18 | *** join/#maemo EdLin (n=EdLin@securabit/listener/edlin) |
| 05:49.20 | hari_ | Browsing on EDGE after being on 3.5G is like going back to dialup :( |
| 05:49.30 | RST38h | hari: What do you mean by "hope"? N900 will work on TMobile |
| 05:49.43 | hari_ | I meant with AT&T support, sorry |
| 05:49.52 | RST38h | uses EDGE daily. Feels ok, just do not go to full sized websites |
| 05:49.54 | wazd | Stskeeps: well, they are not my minions, we're totally equal :) I think there is some mail list, they can just join it in |

| 08:55.18 | lbt | :) |
| 08:55.20 | RST38h | lbt: First of all only large apps go to opt |
| 08:55.24 | m-vo | Stskeeps, hi! |
| 08:55.36 | Stskeeps | m-vo: and welcome to /opt discussion hell :P |
| 08:55.39 | m-vo | I guess I missed the /opt flamefest... |
| 08:55.41 | lbt | can cope with /opt RST38h .... trust me ;) |
| 08:55.46 | RST38h | lbt: Secondly, your app binary or some libs may still go to /usr, and only share goes to opt |
| 08:55.57 | m-vo | Yeah, didn't think of joining #maemo, stupid me. |
| 08:56.36 | m-vo | I'm replying to andrew right now about using /opt/maemo/ instead of /opt/<package>/. |
| 08:57.00 | m-vo | Dunno, any logs I should read before that? |
| 08:57.01 | RST38h | that would cause a problem |
| 08:57.18 | RST38h | can you already guess it or should I tell? |
| 08:57.22 | m-vo | The main message is: DON'T PANIC! |
| 08:57.28 | Stskeeps | m-vo: FHS seems to object a bit on that.. /opt/packagename is saner? |
| 08:57.48 | RST38h | Gentlemen, there is a problem with /opt/<package> on Maemo |
| 08:58.03 | RST38h | Not a generic problem but a problem when applied to Maemo |
| 08:58.13 | m-vo | I'll write the mail first before explaining here. |
| 08:58.18 | RST38h | Generically, only huge packages (i.e. KDE, SUNW) go to /opt |
| 08:58.24 | m-vo | More efficient that way, I guess. |
| 08:58.38 | RST38h | So, there are few of them and it does not take much to add their bin/lib/etc directories to paths |
| 08:58.44 | lbt | is watching a left-handed pigeon having a fight... |
| 08:59.01 | RST38h | On Maemo though, we can expect dozens of packages in /opt |
| 08:59.01 | qwerty12_N810 | A shitton of Maemo is not standard; why is compliance with the FHS so important anyway? |
| 08:59.02 | m-vo | Maybe just very quickly: forget about /opt and replace it with /space in your discussions. |
| 08:59.11 | RST38h | If each of them gets its own bin directory, there will be Trouble |
| 08:59.26 | m-vo | It's a fuckup-inside-a-fuckup that we use /opt/maemo instead of /space. |
| 08:59.35 | wazd | I think we've really screwed up with OMWeather |
| 08:59.39 | RST38h | what is /space? |
| 08:59.47 | johnx | RST38h, symlinks man. symlinks. |
| 08:59.52 | m-vo | It's a new invention! |
| 08:59.53 | RST38h | wazd: looks forecish now? |
| 09:00.09 | RST38h | johnx: but having too many symlinks is not such a good idea either, right? |
| 09:00.12 | wazd | RST38h: no, but foreca now looks like OMWeather) |
| 09:00.13 | m-vo | RST38h, we just want a directory on another partition that we can put some files into. |
| 09:00.26 | m-vo | I have used /space for this in the past when I needed it. |
| 09:00.30 | wazd | RST38h: and it's used in every n900 showcase video |
| 09:00.30 | RST38h | wazd: Want suggestion? ;) |
| 09:00.31 | johnx | RST38h, why? who cares about 300 - 1000 symlinks? |
| 09:00.42 | johnx | that's the number we're talking about, absolute tops |
| 09:00.50 | RST38h | johnx: yesterday people complained about symlink pollution being wrong |
| 09:01.14 | RST38h | wazd: paint it in khokhloma and let Foreca guys copy that =) |

| 09:01.19 | Jaffa | RST38h: For /usr/bin it's not too bad; especially since Debian's alternatives system already uses it |
| 09:01.20 | johnx | RST38h, it's definitely the lesser of two evils vs PATH pollution |
| 09:01.40 | m-vo | johnx, I agree. |
| 09:01.48 | Jaffa | RST38h: I objec tto symlink pollution across billions of directories, but for one or two (and compared with PATH pollution) |
| 09:01.50 | RST38h | Jaffa: you will also have to symlink lis etc |
| 09:02.10 | RST38h | But with /opt/maemo you only pollute path with 1 (one) more string |
| 09:02.10 | m-vo | symlinks are not perfectly invisible, but I don't think there will be many, if any, problems. |
| 09:02.16 | RST38h | Not that bad, right? |
| 09:02.16 | Jaffa | RST38h: Well, as I said above, my mental model has /opt for apps rather than libs; but that is an avoidance of the issue |
| 09:02.19 | wazd | RST38h: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMzz2EIK408 0:51 |
| 09:03.07 | m-vo | RST38h, it's unfortunately quite impossible to change the OS to recognize /opt/maemo as another prefix. |
| 09:03.11 | lbt | Jaffa: Qt is being built to install in /opt IIRC |
| 09:03.11 | Jaffa | RST38h: Except tools like maemo-optify are going to put the symlinks into /usr/bin, and for D-Bus services, and for icons, and for .desktop files. |
| 09:03.22 | Jaffa | lbt: Yeah, that's a special case ;-) |
| 09:03.24 | m-vo | RST38h, given the Fremantle schedule that is. |
| 09:03.32 | m-vo | It's of course perfectly possible in theory. |

| 09:31.16 | RST38h | + the problem reflashing of course |

| 09:31.23 | wazd_ | RST38h: it is configurable though (luckly) |
| 09:31.36 | lbt | IIRC there is a problem with linux and symlinks |
| 09:31.42 | lbt | essentially they're not cached? |
| 09:31.46 | lbt | not sure |
| 09:31.59 | lbt | so they cause an i/o read each time? |
| 09:32.02 | glass | would there end up so much data that it would matter? |
| 09:32.17 | lbt | not if you do what I suggest |
| 09:32.23 | RST38h | depends on what data |
| 09:32.25 | glass | couldn't you cache at where the symlink points? thus removing need for actual reading |
| 09:32.37 | lbt | I'm really not sure I'm right |
| 09:32.42 | lbt | it's just ISTR |
| 09:32.44 | RST38h | lbt: No, I think the eMMC problem has to do with lower physical read performance |

| 12:48.27 | Jaffa | Andy80: pong |
| 12:48.53 | derf | Doing anything complicated in gdb is so painful, it's easier to use printf's. |
| 12:49.23 | RST38h | derf: Also it is cheaper to write bullet prrof code from the beginning |
| 12:49.50 | derf | Well, I'm not sure I believe that. |
| 12:49.52 | vesa | the elusive bullet proof code... |
| 12:49.56 | RST38h | derf: Then you only get two types of problems: 1) geniune bugs and 2) customer wanted it differently |
| 12:50.04 | chx | i am wondering will the n900 be able to compile its own stuff? |
| 12:50.10 | vesa | you have to be quite the genius to spot everything that can go wrong |
| 12:50.11 | chx | or still crosscompiling is the name of the game |
| 12:50.21 | derf | Maybe I'm confused if your "bullet proof" code has "genuine bugs". |
| 12:50.24 | RST38h | derf: You are not getting into "whathefuckiwantedtodohere"situation |
| 12:50.38 | Macer | chx: me too |
| 12:50.44 | Macer | i'm sure you will have to cross compile |
| 12:50.48 | Macer | :-\ |
| 12:50.48 | Jaffa | chx: The N810 can compile its own stuff, I assume the N900 will be able to (and it's a more realistic prospect) |
| 12:50.53 | Macer | unless you have a touchbook :-D |
| 12:51.06 | RST38h | derf: Geniune bug - skipped function call, wrong variable name, a typo basically |
| 12:51.18 | derf | RST38h: I'm not sure I've ever been in that situation, unless it's code I haven't looked at in 5 years. |
| 12:51.30 | chx | Jaffa: that'd be like compiling KDE on a Pentium III. Only takes a week or four. |
| 12:51.34 | derf | And even then I can usually remember. |

| 12:52.19 | zerojay | 64 hours for me. |
| 12:52.19 | derf | I'm convinced that the "usual" university student is not that bright. |
| 12:52.27 | RST38h | derf: They write code without clear understanding of what they are doing |
| 12:52.54 | RST38h | derf: Well, I have no idea of how bright they were (did not teach any advanced theory class) |
| 12:53.12 | RST38h | derf: But most of them surely has vague understanding of what they do |
| 12:53.27 | GeneralAntilles | derf, most people are not that bright. ;) |
| 12:53.40 | GeneralAntilles | derf, it stands to reason that university students shouldn't differ from the curve too much. |
| 12:54.03 | derf | Well, there was a time when you actually had to be moderately intelligent to get into a university. |
| 12:54.10 | derf | Fortunately, this is America, so we fixed that problem. |
| 12:54.36 | derf | But at least you'd think the dumb ones would have the decency to go into humanities or something. |

| 12:55.20 | RST38h | derf: I am not sure I even want to start on the humanities/business/etc stufdents, because it will become politically incorrect very very soon |
| 12:55.34 | derf | vesa: "Ignorance" and "Stupidity" are different things. |
| 12:55.42 | RST38h | vesa: The problem is that they do not want to learn stuff. They want a degree. |

| 12:56.02 | RST38h | vesa: Ok, first they want at least a B for the class, THEN they want a degree based on those Bs |
| 12:56.08 | vesa | then they should just fail all the exams and not graduate? |
| 12:56.08 | SpeedEvil | vesa: hit someone with a stick - if they keep coming back - they are not intelligent. |
| 12:56.16 | RST38h | vesa: Sometimes. |

| 12:56.25 | RST38h | vesa: But see, grades are now weighted |
| 12:56.42 | RST38h | vesa: So, a lot of substandard students still get degrees |
| 12:56.45 | vesa | RST38h: that's a problem with the system, not the people abusing it =) |

| 13:04.54 | RST38h | derf: Postdocs do not get guaranteed tenure trackpositions |
| 13:04.59 | glass | anyways, one doesn't need funding to do cs anyways, besides welfare |
| 13:05.02 | derf | And once they do, they will teach all the shit classes, scramble desparately to publish, and do "service", i.e., all the crap needed to run the department that the tenured professors don't want to do. |

| 13:36.34 | Macer | overhead for the on the fly compression would eat cycles |
| 13:36.36 | mgedmin | all it does it lies about how much disk space you actually have |
| 13:36.42 | mgedmin | anyway, jffs2 _is_ compressed, so there |
| 13:36.51 | SpeedEvil | Macer: sure. If your disk is fast compared to your CPU |
| 13:36.52 | mgedmin | (and it does eat cycles) |
| 13:37.02 | SpeedEvil | Macer: if you're waiting on the disk... |
| 13:37.04 | Macer | and jffs2 is slow :-P |
| 13:37.22 | Macer | SpeedEvil: heh. |
| 13:37.22 | derf | Consider also that page cache keeps the compressed pages cached. |
| 13:37.22 | glass_ | all the big stuff on my hd's is stuff that doesn't compress well anyhow |
| 13:37.44 | derf | The GB's of source code on my hdd would tend to disagree. |
| 13:37.45 | SpeedEvil | ponders a compression scheme that searches out matching files, and substitutes them. |
| 13:38.09 | SpeedEvil | A 8GB hd-dvd rip of 2001-a-space-odessy becomes a 400k compressed text tile. |
| 13:38.10 | derf | Hey, I have this great idea, let's make hundreds of thousands of tiny text files, and not use compression or tail-merging! |

| 13:51.47 | RST38h | javis: you mean, not umass "client" but umass "server"? I do not think so |
| 13:51.55 | javispedro | yeah, server. |
| 13:53.01 | javispedro | Since they're also a many GiB device, the device OS having "special" filesystem requirements, and the device maker's marketing team having "windows" requeriments. |
| 13:53.15 | javispedro | same situation I think :) |
| 13:53.24 | RST38h | no, since they no use for the "server" |
| 13:53.42 | RST38h | There are basically two different types of mass storage devices |
| 13:54.00 | RST38h | One is umass, using simplified SCSI command set over USB (two types known) |
| 13:54.20 | javispedro | the only one I know. |
| 13:54.21 | RST38h | Second is MS "media device" using semiproprietary protocol |
| 13:54.25 | javispedro | MTP. |
| 13:54.35 | RST38h | A lot of PMPs expose themselves as MTP |
| 13:54.43 | RST38h | Some will fall back to umass as well |
| 13:54.51 | javispedro | but MTP sucks, Windows does not handle it through the IFS layer but through the SHELL layer. |
| 13:55.14 | RST38h | MTP definitely sucks, th eproblem is that a lot of PMPs are ONLY MTP nowadays |
| 13:55.36 | javispedro | because users don't care, and nokia marketing team is wrong here. |
| 13:55.45 | javispedro | users care about iTunes/WMP sending songs |
| 13:56.00 | RST38h | I do not care about itunes |
| 13:56.17 | javispedro | and they'll use an extra usb pendrive for "documents", even if their beloved ipod has a 16GiB drive |

| 13:56.59 | javispedro | Me neither RST, but we're not normal users. |
| 13:57.10 | RST38h | I would clam myself to be a normal user |
| 13:57.14 | RST38h | claim |
| 13:57.44 | javispedro | Well, I don't. People still glaze at me when I plug my N810 to a computer instead of a pendrive. |
| 13:57.48 | RST38h | I have got some data of my own, would like to store and view it. What is Abnormal about this? Is it geekish or what? |
| 13:59.00 | javispedro | RST38h: "normal people" don't treat a gadget as a pendrive unless it has a pendrive shape. |
| 13:59.06 | mgedmin | actually, doesn't MTP have the advantage that both the device and the PC can access the filesystem at the same time? |
| 13:59.17 | RST38h | It stores stuff. Hence it is storage. |

| 14:00.40 | zerojay | Hi. |
| 14:00.59 | javispedro | mgedmin: actually tho, I've not read the spec, so I don't know if the protocol itself has stoopid limitations or not. |
| 14:01.31 | javispedro | it is a USB Spec now so I'd guess it doesn't. |
| 14:02.05 | mgedmin | linux support for MTP also sucks |
| 14:02.16 | mgedmin | I know very little about the protocol actually |
| 14:02.21 | javispedro | mgedmin: but fusemtp would be trivial I hope. |
| 14:02.24 | mgedmin | prefers sshfs |
| 14:02.46 | javispedro | on windows, it's handled throught the shell layer, which means mtp devices are exposed like your average Nokia phone. |
| 14:03.01 | javispedro | in a very simplified way, "as user space extensions to explorer.exe" |
| 14:03.07 | javispedro | which means: no running apps from mtp. |
| 14:03.12 | *** join/#maemo Mc2` (n=fred@alpha.kwain.net) |

| 14:21.33 | javispedro | RST38h: now, the funny thing would be for the OSS API to be standarized *again* |
| 14:21.40 | javispedro | and PulseAudio implementing /dev/dsp |
| 14:21.45 | javispedro | all transparently. |
| 14:21.51 | RST38h | javis: it has been standardized already, by netbsd |
| 14:22.00 | RST38h | javis: /dev/pcm |
| 14:22.06 | ShadowJK | btw the OSS author implemented OSS API with alsa backend ;-) |
| 14:22.30 | javispedro | because I can see devs going to use /dev/dsp if pulseaudio implements it, not having to learn yet another audio api |
| 14:23.06 | ShadowJK | esd is dead easy, but the lack of audio delay information is a killer |
| 14:23.39 | ShadowJK | pulseaudio provides it, but it often gets lost or castrated in the alsa->pulseuadio->app chain due to bugs in all the steps throughout :P |
| 14:24.13 | RST38h | javis: I would simply standardize on BSD /dev/pcm, it is a cleaned up version of OSS API |
| 14:24.21 | javispedro | RST38h I never read about /dev/pcm |

| 14:30.48 | RST38h | it is the software layer |
| 14:30.55 | ShadowJK | no it's not that |
| 14:31.02 | ShadowJK | that's not the issue |
| 14:31.15 | ShadowJK | The issue is that the sound clock runs at different speed from the system clock, and the video clock |
| 14:31.23 | ShadowJK | When you've got more than one clock, you never know what time it is |
| 14:31.45 | Curacao-N810 | GeneralAntilles: thank you for the link. That's exactly the one I used! Editing the gtkrc file was no problem, once I installed nano. But when I went into the about:config file, and edited this: layout.scrollbar.side=3 nothing happened to the browser's scrollbar location. Any thoughts? |
| 14:31.58 | GeneralAntilles | Restart? |
| 14:32.20 | Curacao-N810 | heh - Did that |
| 14:33.34 | ShadowJK | Unless you want to play tear-free 60fps video on a 60Hz screen, you can mostly ignore the video clock, that simplifies things alot, and will save you lots of CPU cycles. Then, you only have to figure out how fast the sound clock thinks "44100hz" (or whatever) is. It will not be 44100Hz as measured by the system clock, because the two clocks are not accurate enough. |
| 14:35.08 | ShadowJK | Now, if you want tearfree 60fps video on 60Hz display... Then you're at the mercy of the video clock, and need to figure out how fast the audio is playing, and resample it on the fly to compensate. You get to choose between heavy CPU or crap sound quality there :) |
| 14:35.22 | fiferboy | Curacao-N810: There is some strange procedure to get it to take affect, like entering it twice in a row |

| 15:19.27 | m-vo | is a bit worried about eMMC performance now, after seeing some real world effects of maemo-optify-deb... :-( |
| 15:20.11 | RST38h | the optify thing is totally unnecessary |
| 15:20.47 | Jaffa | m-vo: The last thing needed is more performance problems :( |
| 15:20.55 | m-vo | Jaffa, yeah. |
| 15:21.29 | Jaffa | wonders if m-vo is willing to say publicly how only 100MB rootfs space got so far through the development process without being considered an *enormous* problem... |
| 15:21.45 | kirma | m-vo: rotterdam in kamppi |
| 15:22.00 | m-vo | But that's quite fundamental: no matter how we get the files on the eMMC, optify, --prefix=/opt, hacking dpkg, they will always be on the eMMC. |
| 15:22.32 | m-vo | Jaffa, I don't know. |
| 15:23.11 | m-vo | Could be that many people here don't take third party apps very seriously. |
| 15:23.36 | Jaffa | Given a) the success of them on other platforms and b) they're the thing which make Maemo viable; that's potentially worrysome |
| 15:23.46 | m-vo | Yeah. |
| 15:24.21 | m-vo | There is a lot of pressure to keep our OS small, always with the argument that we need space for 3rd party apps. |
| 15:24.29 | RST38h | m-vo: Why not let packagers manually determine which files will be on eMMC and which will not? |
| 15:24.34 | SpeedEvil | m-vo: by performance you mean terrible write speeds on fragmented? |
| 15:24.48 | GeneralAntilles | A lot of the preconceptions and ideas people in Nokia seem to have about the platform are worrisome. |

However, the screens that I am capturing are double that. Where is my factor of 2 difference coming from? |

| 18:09.49 | unixSnob | luke-jr: it's the redistribution following the copying where copyright law becomes effective |

| 18:11.59 | PenStand | luke-jr: why would I need an open source drivers? I can do what ever I want with the hardware if the OS supports them. There are interfaces in the OS that communicates with the hardware. |
| 18:12.05 | luke-jr | therefore, drivers are the primary most important component to have code for |
| 18:12.12 | PenStand | why? |

| 18:33.07 | luke-jr | unixSnob: why would you need 1 SIM per use? |
| 18:33.40 | AStorm | 5 devices, 5 SIM cards, 1 number, 1 account |
| 18:33.42 | unixSnob | luke-jr: different providers have different crypto schemes, some are not hackable |
| 18:33.44 | AStorm | a funny setup |
| 18:34.16 | unixSnob | luke-jr: only some providers can be cloned onto a multisim -- and then you still have the problem of only one number being active at a time |
| 18:34.21 | ShadowJK | astorm: it's nice because I can for example have the same, single data package in both laptop and cellhpone |

| 18:57.45 | AStorm | yeah, the patent is new, 2005 |
| 18:58.11 | SpeedEvil | ShadowJK: If it's possible at all. Current white LEDs are about 3 times better than making the same LEDs from individual colour LEDs - due to use of a phosphor from blue LEDs. Phosphors inherently generate non-polarised light |
| 18:58.42 | AStorm | some phosphors do generate polarized light |
| 18:59.05 | AStorm | but 90 deg. out of phase, so you'd need to correct that |

| 19:02.23 | ShadowJK | has 1.5yr old aaa light that pumps out 100lm |
| 19:02.23 | AStorm | SpeedEvil: the trick with that phosphor is that if you shine at it polarized light, it starts shining polarized 90 deg. out of phase, but at diff. wavelength |

| 19:06.45 | RST38h | Speed: but what about power being used? |
| 19:06.57 | SpeedEvil | RST38h: a lumen - 1lm - is a unit of brightness |
| 19:07.08 | AStorm | LEDs are best there... they scale to low powers |
| 19:07.17 | AStorm | (fewest W) |
| 19:07.52 | SpeedEvil | RST38h: so 1lm/W is a light source that produces a light output to 1/4pi ths of the light output of a standard candle - given a 1W power input. |

| 21:22.10 | HeckleJeckle | which sdk would one use for os 2007 hacked edition |
| 21:22.15 | HeckleJeckle | gregale or bora? |
| 21:23.14 | zerojay | Good question. |
| 21:24.59 | SpeedEvil | luke-jr: for example - I mean so that if you want to write 128K - which you know to be the eraseblock size - you can simply write that block - and not potentially be split over multiple erase blocks due to wear leveling that's concealing the real architecture of the chip. (as of course a single erase takes 1/nth the time) |
| 21:25.41 | luke-jr | right |

| 21:43.41 | SpeedEvil | I think the fun part is - it varies by maker. |
| 21:44.06 | javispedro | at least SSDs are starting to implement TRIM. |
| 21:44.08 | SpeedEvil | Though AIUI there are a few SD card controllers that go in most |
| 21:44.23 | chx | javispedro: you can't write each and every block in a card |
| 21:44.28 | chx | javispedro: there always are spares |
| 21:44.35 | chx | javispedro: the capacity is bigger than advertised |
| 21:45.27 | javispedro | chx: not much space for wear leveling then :S |
| 21:45.56 | SpeedEvil | yeah - but the same question arises |
| 21:46.16 | chx | of course |
| 21:46.29 | chx | but note that the newer SD cards simply do not care that much |
| 21:46.44 | chx | at the price point they are, expecting any longevity... |
| 21:47.10 | javispedro | I know that some SSDs are implementing FAT parsers in firmware (thus "know" free blocks) |

| 21:47.39 | chx | most SSDs are getting NTFS arent they |
| 21:47.50 | javispedro | chx: yeah, actually, I think it was a NTFS parser :P |
| 21:48.40 | derf | At the very least the card will do static wear leveling. |
| 21:48.51 | *** part/#maemo jjmarin (n=jjmarin_@84.123.173.160.dyn.user.ono.com) |
| 21:49.25 | derf | For some types of cards, you can only read from a block so many times, before it has to be copied to another block. |
| 21:49.25 | javispedro | http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=766&type=expert&pid=11 |
| 21:49.29 | javispedro | see the "Samsung" part |
| 21:49.44 | javispedro | (it talks about the drive reading NTFS's free space bitmap) |
| 21:49.54 | derf | So it actually does just "copy blocks around". |
| 21:50.04 | SpeedEvil | derf: reading also wears flash |
| 21:50.07 | SpeedEvil | as well as writing |
| 21:50.24 | SpeedEvil | and reading also fades writes somewhat |
| 21:52.06 | derf | But really, you can erase a block like a million times before it dies. |
| 21:52.11 | derf | A million should be enough for anybody. |
| 21:52.19 | SpeedEvil | yes |
| 21:52.32 | SpeedEvil | Also - 'dies' is somewhat misleading |
| 21:52.47 | SpeedEvil | As its bit-error rate rises. |
| 21:53.10 | SpeedEvil | With the right algorithms you can cope with even - say - 10% bit errors |
| 21:53.30 | javispedro | so, the conclusions is that SD cards are either: just moving blocks around, or they don't care at all about wear leveling. |
| 21:54.24 | SpeedEvil | There are some _very_ simple algorithms that you can use. |
| 21:54.29 | derf | Well, no. If you're using jffs2, it will do dynamic wear leveling as well, where it explicitly manages erase blocks. |
| 21:55.10 | javispedro | but jffs2, like ubifs, can't be used over a sd card (because it's not "sd raw" ;) ) |
| 21:55.21 | woglinde | javispedro right |
| 21:55.36 | SpeedEvil | For example - every hundred thousandth write - you move block k to free block n, and free block n+1 to k, and increment k |
| 21:55.37 | woglinde | ubifs works only on internal stuff |
| 21:55.56 | SpeedEvil | This shuffles the data round and only means you need to store one number for your 'wear leveling' |
| 21:56.24 | *** join/#maemo krutt (n=mk@p4FC337B7.dip.t-dialin.net) |
| 21:56.25 | javispedro | SpeedEvil, again, my initial question: what is a free block? how does the card know that? |
| 21:56.38 | SpeedEvil | javispedro: a spare block not exposed to the OS |
| 21:57.00 | javispedro | ah, ok |
| 21:58.44 | SpeedEvil | So you have a band of - say 1000 - 'free' blocks that migrates across the device - displacing a datablock each move |
| 21:59.17 | *** part/#maemo zimmerle (n=zimmerle@200.184.118.130) |
| 21:59.35 | javispedro | you may actually not need the counter, just reassign a block from the spares as soon as a block can't be written without uncorrectable errors |
| 22:00.19 | SpeedEvil | That means you need a block lookup table. |
| 22:00.20 | javispedro | not really "wear" leveling, but hey ;P |
| 22:00.26 | SpeedEvil | I was wondering if you could avoid that |
