IRC log started Wed Oct 20 00:00:00 1999 well, i've got things to work out for arrow [msg(TUNES)] permlog 1999.1020 as i'm trying to work out the lisp environment code to support arrow, it's been occuring to me that of course all basic lisp features arrow will eventually have to coveer, so it might not help to remove features from the environment, but merely to cripple the parser until a suitable arrow environment exists to support those features <_QZ> uhh ya <_ruiner_> makes sense <_QZ> water: what games do u play?

(cont'd) Of course, this is only an overview, and of course there'll be plurality: USERs (multiuser support), PARSERs and COMPILERs (symultaneous processing of various code), SYMBOL_TABLEs (package system) "which is accessed by the COMPILER. (cont'd)" hmm ok. interesting hcf: i'm going to open up arrow dev and outline coding goals And of course, I'm only using ALL_CAPS as a pointless convention :) and your object system will resemble self's? 01:20pm -:- SignOff Fare: #TUNES (Ping timeout for Fare[d026.paris-121.cybercable.fr]) -:- SignOff Kaufmann: #TUNES (Ping timeout for Kaufmann[dial625.infolink.com.br]) hcf: there? -:- Downix_ [down@d-gnaps-139.ici.net] has joined #tunes heh yes -:- SignOff Downix: #TUNES (Ping timeout for Downix[d-gnaps-139.ici.net]) do you have any suggestions for how arrow should relate to tunes? not atm k i'm open to suggestions -:- Downix_ is now known as Downix -:- SignOff _ruiner_: #TUNES (Leaving) -:- Fare [fare@d026.paris-121.cybercable.fr] has joined #Tunes -:- Kaufmann [Kaufmann@dial727.infolink.com.br] has joined #tunes Hrrm... adams has booted me 01:30pm rp: and your object system will resemble self's? water, how much of my recent messages have you gotten? The object system is built into the COMPILER, and modifiable through the methods that make up the COMPILER MOP. That said, it'll be completely customizeable, so that its behavior can range from a C++ feel (although I can't fathom why anyone would want that (except a C++ programmer)) to Perl-like ad-hoc feel. But the principles behind it will be inspired on Self's inspired {on|by} ah BTW, the ALL-CAPS are still being used only as dumb convention... i.e. I'm not shouting np Hmm... http://www.cs.princeton.edu/zephyr/ASDL/ so, data-inheritance will be dynamic and behavior-based? asdl: interesting... but it doesn't seem that special yep... and individual objects will be able to dynamically acquire new slots or remove existing ones, as well as keep track of the ones they used to have hmm... "keep track of the ones they use to have" objects via streams? When objects "lose" slots, they're allowed to "remember" that these slots used to exist, so when other objects try to access them, they can respond by saying the equivalent of "hey, this protocol doesn't exist anymore, but you can do the same thing by using this other protocol, see?" Is it weird that I like to personify my objects? 01:40pm it sounds like that tunes example Which one? the cd database one on the site the problem with that is that you'd need an object history to track the various protocols a given object has had Not an object history, only an interface history well, sure you'd still have to retain old interfaces they wouldn't be entirely gc'able actually, that doesn't sound _too_ bad And only those that the modifying objects want to retain; besides, they won't actually be /supported/ anymore; when the method dispatcher gets a call to a deprecated protocol, all it does is look it up in the history and in the symbol table and return the appropriate message as the method's return value. And these kinds of error returns are built into the language (similar to the Maybe constructor in Haskell), so that the ugly exception-handling i ... But the default behavior of alisp is purely functional hm care to finish that long paragraph? 01:50pm where did it get cut off? "so that the ugly exception-handling i" "is minimized" in haskell you can have simple exception monad using maybe well, sounds pretty good just for the record, i'm not sold, but you should have counted on that smkl, in much the same way that Haskell accounts for nondeterminism through Maybe, alisp will account for errors (including the special case of getting #void (Nothing) as a return value, which is what Maybe does in Haskell).

All Purpose Knowledge Encoding Initiative some kind of universal database... hm well, so far the plan for arrow is to modify this lisp environment until it supports the lisp stuff via arrow until then, the environment could be crippled via the parser hmm the problem is that environments need to be reified (as arrow frames / graphs) 02:50pm yup which means the changes to the environment source code will be significant which is why i chose smalltalk to make that simpler than it would be (for me) in lisp i read the arrow intro last night... it's going to take quite a while to complete... it'll be the equivalent of a book i am considering using sgml-tools instead of latex how that "simpler" ? how is what simpler? sgml? water: if you have no math formula or figures, then sgml-tools is good oh but if you do, then, well, ... i didn't know that (although the new DocBook feature, if finally supported, is said to be quite good...) hmm (but I don't know how it manages figures and math, if at all) there's a latex2sgml, isn't there? 03:00pm dunno; never heard about that darn it, i wish i knew a linux guru (in person) there's a latex2html yeah, but it sucks yeah I know There's also hevea what's that? a latex->html written in OCAML ah hmm... i'm still overloaded i hope opening up arrow dev will attract people to help unfortunately only a few on the tunes mlist are smalltalk coders how is smalltalk "simpler" than lisp? hmm... how to express it.... oh yeah! smalltalk is more intuitive than lisp because it has a graphical development environment, even direct-manipulation style browsing and debugging why does that make it more intuitive? and parsing the code is much simpler for a person defining simpler with simpler :) eihrul: ever used a direct-manipulation programming interface? 03:10pm * eihrul/#tunes shakes. can't say i have and oh yeah, "graphical dev sys" is NOT like c++ or emacs or any of that other crap gcc is graphical? heh hrmm, so that's what that g in gnu is for... rhide i use vi the visual editor eek yeah, you can *see* what you edit visually ;) well, its an improvement over ed oh yeah, it's slightly better than using the original altair but still better than emacs that's real ease-of-use lol sorry, even emacs has pretty-printing and macros galore that was not what i was referring to oh yeah, simplicity that and starting up emacs takes 10 or so seconds heh i have a habit of opening up 30 or so editors when working on code me too eihrul well, if you've got a smalltalk environment, you can open a Workspace object (read text-editor) * eihrul/#tunes nods.

How goes Brix? well it has a damn bug in it and im tired of debugging oh no, that wasnt it. i need to use a 486 instruction to eliminate the bug i might require pentium as the lowest cpu that bochs will run on so thats not a problem... but the version of bochs that works with bfe doesnt support 486/pentium instructions ahh... well I'm sure you'll figure it out :) 08:40pm right now im earching for a very simple C-like compiler that supports the bare minimum and is small and fast s/earching/searching/ C-- perhaps? C--? C-- is a non-C-compatible language designed a portable compiler backend at uhh or there's lcc (which is a C compiler) im not sure i want to use anything from m$ :) no, C-- is cool man its C, but re-designed to be a better back-end portable assembly language just because the research is being done inside microsoft doesn't mean bills doing it :) ya but m$ only hired incompetent idiots well for incompetent idiots, C-- isn't half bad and usually they hire people after they've already completed their work as ms wouldn't do real research from scratch ouch, its 800k i was looking for something around 20k i doubt you'll find anything implementing C in 20k i dont want all the crap like a preprocessor 08:50pm haha dude, you still won't find anything the compiler itself is big the preprocessor is nothing i just want the parser and the part that makes machine code * eihrul/#tunes laughs. i dont want it to spit out asm source well that'd be lex and the other would be gas and if possible i would like the parser to be real-time umm, real-time does not apply to parsing ya it does i.e. if you mean reading as fast as a human can that'd be a slow parser it needs to parse each word as u type and do shit like name completion and type checking then you don't want C the file should be tokenized, type checked and debugged as soon as yer done typing the last word 09:00pm -:- SignOff Fare: #TUNES (Ping timeout for Fare[quatramaran.ens.fr]) -:- fire [no@209-68-229-209.dialup.cust.tfb.com] has joined #tunes hi hi we were having a good talk and would like it if u could leave cuz it was kinda about u and we dont want to continue with u here :(!@#$ log time :) that wont work cuz we preceded everything with !nolog! so TUNES wont log it :P what was it about? u really what about me? :) my blinging charisma? er blinding uh no heh -:- beholder [beholder@ppp-046.m2-1.sub.ican.net] has left #tunes [] *yawn* well tommorrow will be a long day no it wont only time i get to code anything is in my notebook in health :\ for me it will if u enjoy every minute of the day then it wont be long 09:20pm yes well... not every minute of my life is enjoyable make every minute enjoyaable if u have a positive attitude about everything then everything will be enjoyable *sigh* look past the bad things -:- SignOff eihrul: #TUNES ([x]chat) and life will be good my bed is calling no it isnt why must you always contradict me? :( :) then i am going to bed now remember, happy face :) every minute yep yep dream sweet dreams of elegant algorithms even while yer looking at that guy ... whose fist is repeatedly pounding into yer face cuz yer looking at him and smiling :D while he is smashing yer face in nighty night brand night -:- SignOff fire: #TUNES (:D) -:- kc5tja [kc5tja@garnet.armored.net] has joined #tunes Hello folks. :) 09:30pm hey how goes dolphin? Yowza! Someone speaks! :) How are you? im fine Working on the finishing touches of Dolphin 0.5. Adding memory protection and a new message passing architecture. Also separated a lot of functionality out into a hardware abstraction layer, as a few people I know are interested in porting it to PowerPC when I'm finished with the kernel. btw, im QZ, brand, creator of brix... I noticed... :-) How's work with BRiX coming along? 09:40pm Even got my own laptop (486) to use as a development platform for it. A little Toshiba Satellite T2100. the kernel is pretty much finished, just a little debugging to do cuz of the recent modifications. im trying to find a small fast language to rip off its parser/compiler so i dont have to write one :) So BRiX applications will be written in its own language then? No doubt due to the deficiencies of the C/C++ and similar languages? it would be nice if i could find one that compiled brix source and did it real-time :) You mean like Forth? (Whoops? Did I say that out-loud? *evil grin*) * kc5tja/#tunes ducks ya I am wondering...what about compiling to a byte-code first, then have it recompile the byte code to native code at load-time? Something similar to how slim binaries work? it does compile to bytecode * kc5tja/#tunes plans on investigating SBs with a friend of his who's taking compiler design classes now. Ahh. that bytecode is compiled to machine code when it enters the target system but the source code needs to be parsed, type checked and debugged while u type it and stored as bytecode so u never have any text based source AHH...I see what you're talking about now. You want something like Smalltalk or Oberon, but in real-time, like Color Forth. I see. last i checked oberon saved as text based source files Maybe embellishing a parser used in a syntax-sensitive text editor would lead to a few good ideas on where to start. You're right, I'm thinking of another environment, whose name doesn't come to me right now. Java. * kc5tja/#tunes slaps himself -- how could he forget something like Java? :) java has text based source too OK, APL... ;) uhh APL may be text-based, but it's so cryptic it'll pass as bytecode... :) heh Interesting. Lag to you is 0.5s, but my lag meter reads 2s. Weird. Anyway. my lag meter reads 0 Mine does now, but not when I pinged... 09:50pm Also involved with some amateur radio projects as well. brb need more water * kc5tja/#tunes is going to go back to the hotel in another 15 minutes or so, I think. Been at the office since 9:00AM today... :/ Hey, just out of curiosity...know of any good open source, but SMALL and EFFICIENT, user interfaces? I was recommended MGR at one point in time, but I can't say I like it all that much. 10:00pm Well, I gotta go. I'll stop by sometime later, and chat again. :) Nice to see you again! -:- SignOff kc5tja: #TUNES (THX QSO ES 73 DE KC5TJA/6 CL ES QRT) 10:10pm -:- _ruiner_ [DIY@ppp356.wi.centurytel.net] has joined #tunes greetings <_ruiner_> same to you <_ruiner_> whats up? writing the language for brix <_ruiner_> ah.... <_ruiner_> what are you using to make it? C <_ruiner_> no, use smalltalk... <_ruiner_> just kidding heh i was thinking of using basic <_ruiner_> isn't ummmmm...what is it...yacc or bison or lex or something designed for creating languages? uhh <_ruiner_> I really need to get linux on here and play around with it.. yes u do <_ruiner_> actually I've got slackware on here, I just never use it 10:30pm <_ruiner_> OLD slackware get rh6 <_ruiner_> I was going to get debian <_ruiner_> or maybe suse rh6 is good once u disable gnome the stupid session manager crap has screwed me over so many times it adds all the stuff u hate about windows to linux <_ruiner_> hmmmmm..... <_ruiner_> what do you think of kde? i have never used kde but i hear it looks like win95 and if it has a session manager it will suck too <_ruiner_> whats the one that is almost exactly like 95? fvwm? fvwm95 <_ruiner_> that would be it....not a big fan of that one kde and gnome arent window managers i think kde requires qt which is commercial and thats why its apps look like win95 but u can use a different wm with kde so the window borders are non-win95ish <_ruiner_> they're complete desktop environments right? <_ruiner_> kinda like xwindows everything requires x windows x windows is the display server <_ruiner_> all I remember about it is that it was a bitch to configure os -- x server -- window manager -- session manager -- apps gnome and kde are session managers afterstep, E, fvwm95 are wm's <_ruiner_> I need to talk to you more often xfree86, accelX, metroX are x servers <_ruiner_> I know what the window managers are....I've acutally used them, never used gnome or kde gnome uses corba to communicate with gnome apps and it has a button bar that uses 25meg of ram its terms use 6meg each <_ruiner_> do you know how hurting I'd be using that? <_ruiner_> I only have 32 meg of ram 10:40pm i have 256meg ram and 128meg swap and i was 4meg away from having linux run out of memory and crash one time <_ruiner_> why do you have a swap partition? cuz gnome and its crap was using 350+meg i had the same stuff open that i did when i was using afterstep and rh3, and they never used more than 128meg of ram well i do use x11amp now, didnt before, and it uses 2-4 10meg processes to run <_ruiner_> dude, thats such total crap what <_ruiner_> that it uses that much it does <_ruiner_> bah! whatever <_ruiner_> heh, I believe you, but dude, 40 meg.... 1670 brand 0 0 4304 4304 3044 S 0 0.0 1.6 0:00 x11amp 1672 brand 0 0 4304 4304 3044 S 0 0.0 1.6 0:00 x11amp 1673 brand 0 0 4304 4304 3044 S 0 0.0 1.6 0:00 x11amp 1675 brand 0 0 4304 4304 3044 S 0 0.0 1.6 0:00 x11amp i just fired up x11amp and each has 4meg but after 10 minutes they will be upto 10meg each they are upto 6meg right now 10:50pm <_ruiner_> brb 8meg 11:00pm -:- air has changed the topic on channel #tunes to: TUNES || http://linuxfund.org/creditcard/ [msg(TUNES)] newlog 1999.1021 IRC log ended Thu Oct 21 00:00:00 1999
