| 02:01.47 | mfinkle | anyone have a good way to dynamically determine if my application is running on an n810 or an n900? |
| 02:02.10 | mfinkle | or better yet, anyone have a good to way determine the real dpi on the n810 or n900? |
| 02:02.53 | mfinkle | if I can't find the actual dpi (not the 96dpi lie), then knowing if it/s an n810 or n900 would at least allow me to hack a solution |
| 02:03.49 | Firebird | you could do some math to calculate the DPI :o |
| 02:06.41 | lcuk2 | mfinkle, read and parse |
| 02:06.42 | lcuk2 | /proc/component_version |
| 02:06.56 | lcuk2 | get the token that is for product |
| 02:07.23 | lcuk2 | and check it against "RX-34" "RX-44" "RX-48" and "RX-51" |
| 02:07.41 | lcuk2 | if none is specified in the file, use the default :) |
| 02:07.45 | lcuk2 | its likely not a nokia |
| 02:08.06 | GeneralAntilles | 225dpi for the N810 |
| 02:08.13 | GeneralAntilles | The N900 is around ~265dpi |
| 02:08.20 | luke-jr | mfinkle: X.org reports the wrong DPI? |
| 02:08.28 | lcuk2 | yes luke-jr |
| 02:08.31 | luke-jr | ew |
| 02:08.34 | lcuk2 | its so the software doesnt blow up |
| 02:08.35 | luke-jr | :/ |
| 02:08.44 | luke-jr | lcuk2: reporting wrong DPI = blow up |
| 02:08.51 | lcuk2 | if you tell lots of software a ridiculous dpi things look "odd" |
| 02:09.05 | luke-jr | nothing ridiculous about 265 dpi |
| 02:09.08 | mfinkle | lcuk2: thanks! |

| 03:10.02 | johnx | Dantonic, used it for about 5 minutes to put together that hack |
| 03:10.16 | johnx | but I'll try and answer a question |
| 03:10.25 | johnx | fureddo, in maemo4? not possible I think |
| 03:11.11 | fureddo | Yeah, it looks like so. Also, I have overridden eventFilter() to try to catch the event and ignore it but it doesn't work either. |
| 03:12.26 | fureddo | The event is probably handled before it reaches the window's eventFilter() method. |
| 03:12.50 | fureddo | Maybe you will have an alternative solution. |
| 03:12.54 | fureddo | I explain the problem. |
| 03:13.05 | johnx | matchbox-wm is pretty much purpose built to override window requests |
| 03:13.12 | johnx | but yeah, explain your goal :) |
| 03:13.48 | fureddo | I have a window that is used in fullscreen. |
| 03:14.03 | fureddo | From that window, I can invoke a modal dialog. |
| 03:14.39 | fureddo | However, the dialog has a Qt::Window style. |
| 03:14.54 | fureddo | So the dialog has a minimize button on its title bar. |
| 03:15.05 | fureddo | If the user minimize the dialog window. |
| 03:15.28 | fureddo | ,... It cannot reopen it because the parent window (that is fullscreen) hides the minimized icon. |
| 03:15.45 | johnx | any way to make it the proper type, ie a real modal dialog? |
| 03:15.46 | fureddo | The only way out is a shutdown. |
| 03:16.50 | fureddo | If I use the default window type, it works but I would like the window to be resizable. |
| 03:17.15 | fureddo | Dialog modal windows don't seem to be resizable. |
| 03:17.22 | johnx | I don't think there's something that fits your requirements... |
| 03:18.06 | *** join/#maemo paroneayea (n=user@fsf/member/paroneayea) |
| 03:18.07 | fureddo | Yeah, maybe. A good compromise will be to use the default dialog style and make the window larger. |
| 03:18.08 | johnx | though, do you mean "user resizeable" or "the developer can create it with an arbitrary size"? |
| 03:18.26 | johnx | the 1st won't happen, but the latter seems likely |
| 03:18.39 | fureddo | I would have liked the window to be user-resizable but it's probably not possible. |
| 03:18.55 | johnx | never saw one in maemo 4 that is |
| 03:19.00 | johnx | at least not with the default wm settings |
| 03:19.19 | fureddo | So I will set the size of the window programmatically to be larger and it will be good enough. |
| 03:20.31 | fureddo | Thanks johnx. |
| 03:20.56 | johnx | no problem :) |
| 03:21.13 | fureddo | Another idea could be to have the dialog in full-screen. This way, no way to minimize it, right? |
| 03:21.29 | johnx | yup |
| 03:21.48 | fureddo | Or is there a keyboard accelerator to perform minimize? |
| 03:21.49 | johnx | off the top of my head, a couple apps do this |
| 03:21.58 | johnx | ah, good question |
| 03:22.02 | johnx | on the n810 there might be |
| 03:22.10 | fureddo | I will google for it. |
| 03:22.17 | johnx | do you have an n810? |
| 03:22.21 | fureddo | No |
| 03:22.29 | johnx | let me look real quick |
| 03:22.47 | fureddo | Do you know if there is a keyboard accelerator too to switch from one window to another? |
| 03:23.20 | fureddo | That could also be useful to reactivate the minimized dialog window that was unreachable. |
| 03:25.21 | johnx | ah, looks like the kb accelerators for minimize and "task switcher" only work on a bluetooth/usb keyboard |
| 03:25.21 | fureddo | F7 and F8 are Zoom in/Zoom out keys. I don't know if it means Maximize/minimize though. |
| 03:25.23 | johnx | they need alt |
| 03:25.32 | johnx | so you don't have any device at all? |
| 03:25.43 | fureddo | No, only a Zaurus SL-C1000 |
| 03:25.59 | fureddo | That's very unconvenient. |
| 03:26.02 | johnx | ah, I might have even asked you that same question before :) |
| 03:26.19 | johnx | sorry, long day. I remember talking to you now :) |
| 03:26.20 | fureddo | You did. No prob. |
| 03:26.24 | fureddo | :-) |
| 03:26.34 | fureddo | Yeah, the tomotko guy. |
| 03:26.43 | johnx | do you have scratchbox? |
| 03:26.50 | fureddo | Yes |
| 03:27.23 | johnx | the f{5-8} keys should work there I think |
| 03:27.40 | fureddo | *trying |
| 03:27.48 | johnx | zoom in/out are usually used to change font size or in apps that have a concept of zoom (maps, web browsers) |
| 03:28.03 | johnx | though people get "creative" all the time :) |
| 03:30.07 | fureddo | Ok, function keys don't seem to change anything. |
| 03:30.18 | johnx | do they in other apps? |
| 03:30.27 | johnx | they are left for the app to handle, not the wm |
| 03:31.35 | fureddo | No, actually, function keys work. |
| 03:32.01 | fureddo | f6 toggles fullscreen. |
| 03:32.07 | fureddo | f4 invokes menu. |

| 03:34.08 | spencer_ | have question on how to compile libxml in scratchbox... |
| 03:34.13 | johnx | so, losing a window in fullscreen mode isn't all that big of a deal I think |
| 03:34.35 | fureddo | I will try if it works in scratchy. |
| 03:35.04 | johnx | fureddo, but I don't know what keycode you'd need to test it in sb |
| 03:35.24 | johnx | spencer_, we need a little more detail than that :) |
| 03:35.37 | fureddo | johnx, Indeed, home key does nothing. |
| 03:35.58 | johnx | right, on the n800 it has a picture of a "house" |
| 03:36.05 | johnx | it's probably not sending "Home" |

| 03:37.18 | johnx | libxml2 is already provided by nokia, so your install might be conflicting somehow |
| 03:37.49 | spencer_ | johnx: ok.. how can i tell? pardon me.. really n00b at this... |
| 03:38.14 | johnx | spencer_, I have no idea :) |
| 03:38.28 | spencer_ | :( |
| 03:38.29 | johnx | is there a reason you can't use Nokia's version of libxml2? |
| 03:39.11 | fureddo | johnx, Well, I will use fullscreen and hope no user will know to minimize a fullscreen window. That will solve my problem for now. |
| 03:39.24 | spencer_ | absolutely no reason.. just trying to get a project started. and found out i'm getting this error.. i can provide the configure.ac and Makefile.am if you want. |
| 03:39.57 | johnx | fureddo, I still think they'll be able to trigger the side "app switch" menu just fine, but I have no idea how to use it from scratchbox... |
| 03:40.03 | spencer_ | maybe it's just a stupidity in my automake/autoconf environment.. |
| 03:40.53 | johnx | or a scratchbox stupidity... |
| 03:41.22 | johnx | sorry, I think I misread your comment earlier. for some reason I thought you had tried to install your own version of libxml2 in sb |
| 03:42.01 | fureddo | johnx, It's no big deal. Time for lunch! Have a nice day. |
| 03:42.05 | spencer_ | nope.. i used the apt-get install libxml2 in scratchbox. |
| 03:42.11 | johnx | fureddo, you too :) |
| 03:42.33 | johnx | spencer_, can you run apt-cache policy libxml2? |
| 03:42.39 | johnx | (in sb) |

| 03:45.44 | spencer_ | i think that's the problem there.. |
| 03:46.05 | spencer_ | but why did i get the maemo5 package is beyond me.. :( |
| 03:46.27 | johnx | higher version number |
| 03:46.38 | johnx | but ... that's not the maemo5 version, just FYI |
| 03:47.11 | spencer_ | ok.. that scares me for e a sec. |
| 03:47.12 | johnx | really easy to downgrade though: apt-get install libxml2=2.6.27.dfsg-1osso4 |
| 03:48.16 | spencer_ | done.. let me reload sb and try to rerun my conf/make. |
| 03:51.55 | spencer_ | johnx: still same issue.. but the autoconf said libxml2 is OK |
| 03:52.25 | johnx | then I have no idea :( |
| 03:52.44 | johnx | I guess you could find something else that needs libxml2 and see if it builds |
| 03:52.56 | johnx | if it doesn't: something's messed up with your sb install now |
| 03:53.13 | johnx | if it does: something is different with the autoconf/autotools setups |
| 03:53.30 | johnx | and by "something else" i mean some well known app available from extras |
| 03:58.27 | spencer_ | well, did another test.. just tried to move the XML2_CFLAGS and XML2_LIBS towards the end of the flags in the Makefile.in and now the hildon's flags are getting errored out.. i think it's the ar having issue connecting to all my CFLAGS and LIBs. |

| 04:18.37 | luke-jr | within the past month |
| 04:18.43 | AStorm | sox resampler is LGPL. |
| 04:18.48 | luke-jr | AStorm: not sox as a whole |
| 04:18.55 | AStorm | yes, correct |
| 04:19.01 | luke-jr | the sox tarball contained copyrighted and not licensed for distribution code |

| 04:19.41 | AStorm | for ABX people out there, I've resampled the file twice with each of the resamplers. |
| 04:19.41 | luke-jr | hm, I suppose binary distros could just cut that out for their pkg |
| 04:19.45 | johnx | so you're making a fuss about something that, as of now, is legal to distribute? |
| 04:19.53 | AStorm | to 44100 -> 8000 -> 44100 |

| 04:26.29 | AStorm | exactly that. you give it samples, it renders the midi |
| 04:26.31 | RST38h | Just needs a MIDI score |
| 04:26.35 | luke-jr | what are the "sets" then? |
| 04:26.41 | RST38h | Wait |
| 04:26.45 | AStorm | soundfonts or sets of samples |
| 04:26.46 | RST38h | I see the problem |
| 04:26.49 | luke-jr | eawpatches or whatever |
| 04:26.50 | AStorm | the wavetable in other words. |
| 04:27.05 | RST38h | MIDI assumes that you not only have the score but also have a bank of musical instruments to play it |
| 04:27.16 | AStorm | RST38h: and yes, any phone worth the money used wavetable and not OPL |
| 04:27.22 | RST38h | FM chips achieve these instruments by connecting a few oscillators in the right order |
| 04:27.24 | AStorm | it sounds 100x better and is not more expensive. |
| 04:27.40 | AStorm | even if you use tiny samples. |
| 04:27.43 | johnx | had a sound card with fm synthesis... |
| 04:27.49 | RST38h | Timidity lacks those oscillators, so it uses waveform samples for the instruments |
| 04:27.51 | AStorm | johnx: me too, OPL3 |
| 04:27.57 | luke-jr | eawpatches is 38 MB... the hardware has 38 MB ROMs with the data? |
| 04:28.04 | AStorm | luke-jr: sure no |
| 04:28.07 | RST38h | johnx: ANY sound card that included Adlib compatible chips had FM synthesis |
| 04:28.11 | AStorm | eawpatches is fairly high quality |
| 04:28.16 | luke-jr | oscillators can't be emulated? |
| 04:28.19 | johnx | ES1868 ISA PNP, the most god awful sound card to get working in linux |
| 04:28.24 | AStorm | for cellphone, you can get away with 8-bit and limited range |
| 04:28.36 | AStorm | luke-jr: they can, but it's pointless |
| 04:28.38 | AStorm | it's worse. |
| 04:28.49 | AStorm | unless of course the point of the excercise is the emulation |
| 04:28.50 | luke-jr | i c |
| 04:28.52 | AStorm | like, say, in dosbox |
| 04:29.02 | AStorm | which has proper OPL2 and OPL3 implementation in software |
| 04:29.16 | luke-jr | personally thinks his cell phone MIDI sounds better than eawpatches, but whatever |
| 04:29.20 | RST38h | There is no "proper" OPL implementation in software :) |
| 04:29.28 | RST38h | You always miss corner cases ;) |
| 04:29.36 | AStorm | RST38h: blah blah, yes, it's emulated, no it's perfect. |
| 04:29.54 | AStorm | it's bit-compatible and all the corner cases have been (hopefully) caught |
| 04:30.06 | RST38h | hmmm |
| 04:30.11 | RST38h | maybe. |
| 04:30.16 | luke-jr | wonders why SimCity Network Edition has no modern/free equivalent |
| 04:30.30 | AStorm | luke-jr: like Simcity 2000? |
| 04:30.31 | AStorm | ;p |
| 04:30.44 | luke-jr | AStorm: IIRC, that was notably different from NE |
| 04:30.49 | AStorm | heh. |
| 04:30.53 | AStorm | I guess NE didn't sell. |
| 04:30.57 | luke-jr | in fact, there was a SC2k NE too... |
| 04:31.03 | luke-jr | probably didn't I imagine |
| 04:31.06 | luke-jr | it was slow as heck |
| 04:31.10 | luke-jr | but the concept was pretty fun |
| 04:34.35 | AStorm | heh, btw, even something as cheap as nokia 3310 has wavetable midi |
| 04:34.40 | AStorm | albeit only a few instruments |

| 06:31.43 | AStorm | even touchpad with correct extra software is ok |

| 06:32.18 | AStorm | though it's fun for games |
| 06:34.03 | johnx | trackpoint is awesome *and* keeps your fingers on the home row |
| 06:34.14 | johnx | but I think what this means is that it comes down to preference |
| 06:34.19 | AStorm | touchpad in locking mode does too, haha |
| 06:34.25 | AStorm | you can operate it with thumbs |

| 11:49.15 | lupine_85 | unlike* |

| 11:49.37 | lupine_85 | I think I know what my xmas present will be :D |
| 11:50.31 | ccooke | package management is apt-get, but there's enough drift in library versions to require a separate repository |

| 11:51.09 | ccooke | Hmm. Has anyone ever set up a debian-style build-farm for maemo? |

| 13:11.47 | RST38h | Macer: Java came AFTER C++ |
| 13:12.01 | nomis | RST38h: right. Everybody restricts himself to a subset of C++. The trouble is, that this is specific to the programmer. |
| 13:12.08 | RST38h | Macer: Java was a pet project by some Sun engineer who said he was going to "fix" all the C++ problems |

| 13:12.30 | RST38h | nomis: We do have some quarrels about this at work, but very mild ones |
| 13:12.35 | MaceN8x0 | by turning it into c++ in reverse? |
| 13:12.49 | nomis | also you have niceties in the language like "AA BB(CC);" in the top level of a C file being quite ambiguous. |
| 13:12.49 | RST38h | Macer: No, by making an interpreted language with C++-like syntax |
| 13:12.56 | nomis | (which makes compiling C++ hard and slow) |
| 13:13.07 | nomis | eh, a C++ file of course. |
| 13:13.27 | RST38h | Yea, debugging a crash in a global data constructor can be a bitch |
| 13:13.46 | nomis | RST38h: so you think it is not a function prototype? :) |
| 13:13.54 | RST38h | Macer: But while Sun was pushing Java down everyone's throat, a weird thing occurred with C++ |
| 13:14.07 | RST38h | nomis: Ah, you mean that...depends on the context |
| 13:14.30 | RST38h | Macer: First, everyone eventually standardized on GCC, which fixed incompatibility problems between compilers |
| 13:14.39 | nomis | right. C++ is way more context sensitive than C, so the compiler has to take a lot more guesses until it gets it right. --> slower compilation. |
| 13:15.08 | RST38h | Macer: Second, the huge variety of different CPU architectures shrunk to about 3 or 4 |
| 13:15.30 | RST38h | Macer: So, nowadays, if you are a decent C++ programmer, your program will run without changes on just about anything |
| 13:16.36 | RST38h | Meanwhile, Java adepts discovered that the real shit starts not with the language, but when you have 100+MB of platform libraries which are real easy to become incompatible even between tertiary releases |

| 13:35.19 | lbt | I've started to look at webkit - nothing serious though |
| 13:37.31 | fiferboy | It is a bit weird that they are not using QAbstractScrollArea for webviews, but I guess that is because they are extending a default WebKit install |
| 13:38.15 | lbt | I guess so too - they handle events differently too - it's not really a widget container I guess |
| 13:39.15 | fiferboy | For the properties - is there a reason we don't just install a Q_PROPERTY on the QAbstractScrollArea? |

| 16:12.11 | mgedmin | in theory everything about the n810 seemed worse |
| 16:12.15 | ccooke | Myrtti: ah ha. |
| 16:12.18 | mgedmin | in practice, once I saw it with my eyes, I found it prettier |
| 16:12.23 | ccooke | mgedmin: how so? |
| 16:12.28 | mgedmin | and the hw kbd is kinda nice sometimes, despite my preconceptions |
| 16:12.32 | Myrtti | ccooke: rather have a correct vkb that I can switch from en to fi than a wrong kind of fi |
| 16:12.40 | mgedmin | ccooke: I'm not sure, the design works better |
| 16:12.53 | luke-jr | N810 keyboard certainly sucks |
| 16:12.55 | mgedmin | not as round, not as weirdly fat, no holes in front |
| 16:13.04 | mgedmin | I hated the pictures, loved it when I saw a real one |
| 16:13.05 | ccooke | started off on the Psion 5 - I've never wanted a device without a keyboard |
| 16:13.18 | ccooke | Although every single device has had a slightly worse keyboard than the last :-) |
| 16:13.22 | luke-jr | buying things for what they *don't* have is pretty dumb, btw ;) |
| 16:13.31 | luke-jr | you can always ignore these things |
| 16:14.15 | ccooke | mgedmin: I meant what about the n810 looked worse? I've heard complaints about the dpad location and lack of second SD slot, but... for me, the n810 was the first device I could actually consider using. |
| 16:14.43 | ccooke | admittedly, GPS was more a nice-to-have and I've actually used it *much* more than I expected |
| 16:15.56 | Myrtti | but I'm smitten with N900. will have to wait until OpenMind before getting my hands on it, then I'll see how it goes |
| 16:16.07 | Myrtti | it's with 75% certainty my next phone |
| 16:16.27 | ccooke | is very interested in the feel of the keyboard |
| 16:16.51 | mgedmin | doesn't know yet if he'll replace his phone, or if he'll carry two devices around -- a n900 with his simple series 40 nokia 6600 |
| 16:16.58 | ccooke | might actually be the first time a new device's was better than the last for me in ten years :-) |
| 16:17.31 | mgedmin | ccooke: re "looked worse", I dunno, yeah, the dpad looked silly, I suppose |
| 16:17.38 | mgedmin | aesthetics are hard to explain |
| 16:17.42 | mgedmin | I never went to design school |
| 16:17.51 | mgedmin | I don't know why people like things or find them pretty |
| 16:18.00 | mgedmin | I just know when I do or do not in a particular case |
| 16:18.08 | ccooke | mgedmin: people who *did* go to a design school *still* say they're hard to explain |

| 16:34.37 | frade | jrocha, a dir(gtk) and dir(hildon) inside python2.5 doesn't show the HILDON_SIZE_* symbols |

| 16:38.38 | lizardo | frade: can you run: "apt-cache policy python-gtk2" to check where your pygtk package is coming from? |
| 16:38.51 | frade | the previous line (import gtk; print gtk....) says "module doesn't has not attribute..." |
| 16:38.54 | jrocha | or that :) |
| 16:39.10 | Meizirkki | "The one huge disadvantage ARM faces is that its processors are incompatible with Windows." sounds stupid |

| 17:07.09 | Sudhir | I heard that qt based applicatons work very slow on n810. Is it true? What will give better performance a gtk based applicatin or qt based application on n810? |
| 17:07.29 | mgedmin | screen is just very useful sometimes; but it sucks as often as it rules |
| 17:07.49 | mgedmin | Sudhir: probably depends *a lot* on the particular applications in question |
| 17:08.50 | mgedmin | qt apps probably have to pay the cost of dynamic linking of all the c++ virtual methods on startup |
| 17:08.51 | Sudhir | mgedmin: I am developing a touch screen based app. Say a map application on which I will use some drag and drop arrows to indicate some places. |
| 17:08.55 | mgedmin | gtk apps usually have fewer references |
| 17:09.03 | Sudhir | ok |
| 17:09.12 | ccooke | mgedmin: huh. I've been using screen so long, I'd be hard pressed to survive without it. |
| 17:09.22 | mgedmin | still, the difference will be measured in milliseconds, and it's a one-time cost |
| 17:09.48 | dirk2 | If I add libcodelockui1 and osso-bookmark-engine to packages list, I get different errors. Later ... |
| 17:09.50 | Sudhir | mgedmin: so there would not be issues in runtime? |
| 17:09.51 | ccooke | mgedmin: (re: qt slow) it's mostly the memory cost, I think |
| 17:10.04 | mgedmin | Sudhir: I've no personal experience with qt versus gtk apps at runtime |
| 17:10.28 | mgedmin | Sudhir: do a prototype in both, then measure -- the only way to get a correct answer |
| 17:10.44 | ccooke | mgedmin: qt apps will need to load an entirely new set of libraries, and there isn't really enough space on the n810 for all the GTK libs and all the QT ones... so you're either very, very short of memory or you hit swap, which slows everything down |
| 17:10.59 | Sudhir | mgedmin: thanks. i guess i will do that exercise. |
| 17:11.30 | mgedmin | yeah, ccooke has a good point -- overall system memory usage is better if all apps use the same libraries |
| 17:11.45 | mgedmin | which is also a good reason not to use Python on maemo |
| 17:11.55 | mgedmin | but you pay for that with increased development costs |
| 17:12.03 | ccooke | mgedmin: unless someone else already used it, of course |
| 17:12.30 | mgedmin | ccooke: one of the things about Python, is that library modules cannot be shared between processes (unlike what happens with C libraries) |
| 17:12.40 | ccooke | mgedmin: really? damnit. |
| 17:12.45 | ccooke | that's unfortunate |
| 17:12.46 | Sudhir | mgedmin, ccooke: thanks for the explanation. Where should I look for to get some sample gtk based applications for n810? |
| 17:13.00 | mgedmin | I believe pypy may get mmappable .pyc files at some point |
| 17:13.11 | mgedmin | Sudhir: how about Maemo Mapper? |

| 17:15.46 | ccooke | Hmm. Wonder if we're using the -OO flag on the python scripts in Maemo |

| 17:23.42 | mgedmin | or 2% of VSZ |
| 17:24.17 | mgedmin | the scary bit is that *some* apps may be parsing docstrings and using those for correct execution |
| 17:24.34 | mgedmin | e.g. I believe there are parser libraries that require you to define your grammar in docstrings |
| 17:24.42 | ccooke | ah ha... |
| 17:24.44 | mgedmin | and some command-line tools construct their --help message from docstrings |
| 17:24.46 | ccooke | Fun :-/ |
| 17:24.57 | mgedmin | so it's a risky thing to turn on by default system-wise |
| 17:24.58 | javispedro | does that happen? O.o |
| 17:25.25 | ccooke | mgedmin: this is the downside of using a parsed structure for commenting |
| 17:25.30 | javispedro | that's what you get when you don't just strip all that to begin with :P |
| 17:25.36 | mgedmin | might be fine if you document this in your platform porting guide and allow individual packages to override it |
| 17:25.41 | ccooke | exectuable comments are really quite evil |
| 17:25.53 | mgedmin | is documentation executable? |
| 17:26.01 | mgedmin | I personally dislike the "define grammar in docstrings" bit |

| 17:27.36 | mgedmin | you're arguing semantics |
| 17:27.44 | ccooke | yes, but well-defined ones |
| 17:27.47 | mgedmin | a docstring is not a commentr |
| 17:28.25 | ccooke | no, but the python tutorials I've seen treat it as one |

| 17:28.52 | mgedmin | probably is missing the point |
| 17:29.04 | mgedmin | but arguing on the internet is fun! |

| 21:26.17 | javispedro | I would like to see the "massive performance increases". |
| 21:26.36 | javispedro | since if he's getting them, either the way I'm using the assembly sucks, or I used a really good C core. |

| 21:28.13 | johnsq | javispedro: good C core should have the same speed as assembler, you can use some GNU features. |

| 21:30.30 | Mousey | i do rock! |
| 21:31.13 | javispedro | pupnik: I wouldn't really like to say that, but the post reads a bit like so. For example, he talks about iPhone clobbering R9 making it difficult, which would make sense _only_ if the original platform were the asm code was developed did not clobber r9. guess what? it does. palmos stored the pointer to the first dynamic library there |
| 21:31.47 | pupnik | hmm R9 is what? |
| 21:31.52 | javispedro | arm's r9 I mean |
| 21:31.57 | crashanddie__ | after r8 |

| 22:23.58 | GeneralAntilles | ds3, well, I have a recommendation or two for them. ;) |
| 22:24.16 | ds3 | GeneralAntilles: which one? |
| 22:24.23 | JoeBrain | iPhone is great, if you want more productivity you can jailbreak & get openSSH or network tethering. |
| 22:24.38 | ds3 | iphone is horrible |
| 22:24.43 | GeneralAntilles | AT&T you can get away with their $15/mo "Unlimited" Data plan. |
| 22:24.51 | JoeBrain | why ds3? |
| 22:24.52 | GeneralAntilles | Web'n'Walk should also work OK with T-Mobile. |
| 22:25.03 | luke-jr | is it actually unlimited? |
| 22:25.07 | ds3 | JobBrain: it is too sealed up |
| 22:25.09 | GeneralAntilles | JoeBrain, you want #mac or #iphone. |
| 22:25.11 | JoeBrain | No, it's like 1.5GB? |
| 22:25.15 | GeneralAntilles | luke-jr, is anything? |
| 22:25.30 | luke-jr | GeneralAntilles: usually unlimited wouldn't mean 5 GB limit |
| 22:25.31 | ds3 | GA: is that $15 stand alone or $15 feature? |

| 22:25.44 | GeneralAntilles | ds3, $15 feature |
| 22:25.46 | JoeBrain | GeneralAntilles: Sorry I'm 30 min late to the previous convo |
| 22:25.47 | ds3 | BAH |
| 22:25.49 | GeneralAntilles | $35 standalone. |
| 22:25.51 | ds3 | that is expensive |
| 22:26.07 | ds3 | I'll stay with TMO |
| 22:26.13 | luke-jr | 5 GB/mo is patheticly little |
| 22:26.38 | ds3 | on a different note,what's a cheap source for replacement BP5L's? |
| 22:26.48 | GeneralAntilles | luke-jr, the wireless war isn't one we're going to win in the short term. |
| 22:27.00 | JoeBrain | Yeah I'm usually worried about hitting limits though I'm probably never even close.. which is why I don't tether :\ |
| 22:27.05 | GeneralAntilles | ds3, Amazon had Nokia ones for relatively cheap last I checked. |
| 22:27.23 | luke-jr | even a 56k dialup modem can do 17.3 GB/mo |
| 22:27.24 | GeneralAntilles | JoeBrain, I tether all of the time and rarely hit more than about 1GB/mo. |
| 22:27.24 | ds3 | GA: what are you calling cheap? |
| 22:27.37 | GeneralAntilles | ds3, it was around $20 last I checked. |
| 22:27.45 | ds3 | hmmm guess that sale is over then |
| 22:27.54 | JoeBrain | Hrmm I only use it when it's an emergency.. when I have to be on the road & my hockey team is playing I'll tether for Slingbox :D |
| 22:28.01 | ds3 | $35 is best on amazon... there are some website claiming about $24 |
| 22:28.10 | GeneralAntilles | It tends to fluctuate depending on who's offering them at the time. |
| 22:28.45 | ds3 | even at $20 it seems steep... they were selling new Treo650 batteries for $10 |
| 22:28.58 | bobbyd | what does tethering mean? |
| 22:29.32 | luke-jr | ....... |
| 22:32.13 | JoeBrain | dots |
| 22:32.37 | GeneralAntilles | ds3, yeah, but how many Treos where there compared to N800s and E90s? ;) |
| 22:32.56 | GeneralAntilles | bobbyd, using your cellphone as a modem for another device. |
