But for the argument of "c# is a ripoff of java" i dont rlly get that lol. Ignoring minecraft java, theres like no games made in it. Also c# is much more high level comparatively (idk if thigh level is the word lol)

nimble ivy
zinc temple
#

So how is it a ripoff then lol

nimble ivy
#

EEEEEE

zinc temple
#

Or is it a ripoff in the sense that Oreo got its ideas from a worse company

zinc temple
#

Ah ye i can see why lol, googled it and the original co was "hydrox" lol. Sounds like a cleaning solution 💀

#

Im great at editing lol

rare moat
#

yes C is still more commonly used for operating systems. lets list off some of them!

Pretty sure most linux stuff is done in c

@sturdy relic you asked about power requirements for mainframes - this is the z13 technical manual
https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg248251.pdf, page 387 (actual page number, ~411 for the viewer), for environmental requirements

The system operates with two fully redundant power supplies. One is in the front, and the other is in the rear of the Z frame. Each power supply has either one or two power cords.

Systems that have two power cords (one in the front and one in the rear) can be started with one power cord and continue to run.

The larger systems that have a minimum of four bulk power regulator (BPR) pairs that are installed must have four power cords installed. A system that has four power cords can be started with two power cords on the same power supply with sufficient power to keep the system running.

Power cords attach to either 3-phase, 50/60 Hz, 200 - 480 V AC power, or 380 - 520 V DC power

It's the catto from that catto game

#

I agree

brazen jacinth
#

im here

#

multiple reasons

#

they are ridiculously bad for the environment

#

are volatile

#

and mining just sucks

pliant trench
rare moat
#

allegedly

pliant trench
#

why do you like C btw

rare moat
#

i can write hyper portable code

pliant trench
#

wdym portable code

rare moat
#

code that supports a lot of platforms.

pliant trench
#

can't that be done in rust?

#

or rather C++ ?

rare moat
#

neither of those support the platforms which i target.

#

or want to target, rather.

pliant trench
#

what platform

rare moat
#

when i say platforms, i mean really old platforms, like MS-DOS, OS/2, and old UNIXes.

#

as well as modern platforms.

pliant trench
#

do anyone uses them anymore?

rare moat
#

not really

fluid plank
#

C is still relevant even if i dont like it

fluid plank
#

👌

river talon
river talon
#

sadly

pliant trench
#

hmph

river talon
#

not yet at least

#

only runs on linux, bsd, and windows but that will probably change one day

fluid plank
river talon
#

porting a compiler is hard i will admit

river talon
#

c is the standard language for a reason

edgy bane
#

@fluid plank

river talon
#

but rust is the most unportable thing ever

#

consumes half of the ram on a simple system to just say hi and leave

fluid plank
river talon
#

it could be slimmed down but that would take the fun out of it

river talon
#

yea..not the best languages

edgy bane
fluid plank
#

i cant build it successfully in an i586 system 🤣 so i gave up on submitting it to opensuse factory

river talon
#

well lets not kid ourselves here

#

who amongst us is still using a ceramic pentium

fluid plank
river talon
#

well one of my friends uses a ceramic pentium powered machine for his router

#

75mhz

#

openbsd runs fine on it supposedly

edgy bane
#

i thought you made 👌 at my pic but i see it was something else

river talon
#

the fact that people say rust is portable is disappointing

#

rust is about as portable as microsoft windows

#

but i must give credit where credit is due

#

at least zig has good pointer support

#

the c header parsing feature is somewhat broken

fluid plank
#

@river talonC and Rust memory models arent best friends so i get it

river talon
#

indeed

#

not that its really bad

#

but i dont see rust running on any machine that isnt linux

#

one of my friends who was on here at some point before said it took him a lot of modification to run a rust compiler on plain darwin

rare moat
fluid plank
river talon
#

its been out for ten years

fluid plank
#

u can check out on zig discord server

rare moat
#

any language can build binaries for an any operating system.

fluid plank
#

yeah

#

just saying that i was surprised

rare moat
#

that is impressive, do not get me wrong.

river talon
#

that seems not true

rare moat
#

haha

river talon
#

i too can use a table assembler

rare moat
#

Zig does seem like an interesting language and i have considered learning it before.

river talon
#

its terrible

#

it has no meaningful portability

rare moat
#

speaking of which, BSDi finished downloading.

river talon
#

why are you running bsdi?

#

isnt that 30 years old?

rare moat
#

something like that

#

same reason i run all of these operating systems.

river talon
#

are you going to run it on a modern pc or a vm?

rare moat
#

oh, virtual machine haha.

river talon
#

there is a bug in the ide disk code

rare moat
river talon
#

it does not work with disks over 2 gb

rare moat
#

yeah i think Hacker mentioned something like that to me.

river talon
#

you have those running now?

rare moat
#

yeah

river talon
#

that reminds me of hs's vm control socket system

rare moat
#

yeah he is the reason why i got into this.

#

his is way, wayyyy bigger though.

river talon
#

he has close to 100 vms running across several servers in his house

rare moat
#

..he also has like 64 GB of ram at his disposal, and i have like 16. cry_sad

#

yeah its very impressive

river talon
#

he almost lost a server because of his ham radio addiction though

rare moat
river talon
#

i'm the same way 🤣

#

ask him about what uhf does to disks

rare moat
#

oh it erases magnetic disks if you get to close.

river talon
#

or too far

rare moat
#

🥴

river talon
#

he had a tape of usl 4.2 that he lost

rare moat
#

you got to find that sweet spot

river talon
#

three fourths wavelength

rare moat
#

Hacker actually offered to ship me one of his gamer™️ PCs for me to run VMs off of.

river talon
#

he has several he doesnt use anymore

rare moat
#

he probably has like 5

river talon
#

try 10

rare moat
river talon
#

hes more into computing than even me

#

ever since he got that big iron

rare moat
#

yeah he is pretty interesting to talk to.

#

oh he has a mainframe?

river talon
#

has he not told you?

#

he has several

rare moat
#

WHICH ONES

river talon
#

4331, p/390, p/370, old z parts

rare moat
#

these look cool.

river talon
#

they take too much power for him to run

rare moat
#

zed OS \s

river talon
#

he has all of the original install tapes

rare moat
river talon
#

he has a bookshelf of nine track format tapes

#

reel to reel style from the 80s and sevreal working drives

rare moat
#

this guy has everything i swear to god

river talon
#

he said that if anything bad happens to him

#

youre first on the list to get his stuff and save it

rare moat
#

i am in the fucking will

river talon
#

probably

#

he takes his friendships much more seriously than i do

rare moat
#

that is a Lot of responsibility though.

#

haha does he?

river talon
#

he doesnt joke around

#

if he says he will do something he will do it

rare moat
#

yeah i learned that pretty quickly.

river talon
#

when he says he will run rust on a system/370 he will do it

#

he will also not do it because he hates rust

rare moat
#

i wonder if he ever pulled that off

river talon
#

he said it was a dumb language for low effort programs

rare moat
#

eh

river talon
#

because xf-asm cant read gnu assembler

rare moat
#

that is where me and him diverge a lot.

river talon
#

what do you mean by that

rare moat
#

ehh maybe not diverge but

#

i do not want to say he is extreme at times with his dislike of other languages

river talon
#

he is like that

#

he is like that for anything he hates

rare moat
#

yeah, that is just how he is i guess. he is still one of my friends though so i do not care.

river talon
#

he doesnt hate other languages like he says he does

#

he will use it if he has to

#

but he really likes to avoid at all costs

rare moat
#

yeah lol

river talon
#

he thinks with future proofing in mind

#

that silly python interpreter wont run on rad-hard computers he had

#

he has a special set of old pcs in his radio room for the purpose of not frying under strong electromagnetic fields

rare moat
#

realistically the only languages that i think will outlive me are:

  • C
  • LISP
  • maybe C++
river talon
#

they are all probably 40 years older than him

rare moat
#

or older

river talon
#

maybe

#

a lot of ham software runs on really out of date computers

rare moat
#

exclusively?

river talon
#

within reason yes

#

mmtty runs on windows 3.1

#

thats why he wrote catctl

#

he has an old unix workstation that has more metal layers on the case than a bomb shelter

rare moat
#

yeah lmfao

river talon
#

considering he uses this old stuff

#

he does not use vacuum tube radios often

rare moat
#

why not

river talon
#

he has a mortal fear of high voltage systems

#

he just dropped out of the morning net something must be up

rare moat
#

his antenna fell.

river talon
#

it sounded like it

rare moat
#

lmao yeah

river talon
#

i took over net control while he eats breakfast

#

also do you have any old pcs to run these old systems on?

#

if not just ask hs he will be glad to get you several

#

maybe not mainframe class machines but he has a few p/390s he might lend out

#

he might lend a pdp11 if you ask

#

@rare moat if you are still on freq..he might be willing to part with his old 4d/35.. he'd do it for you if you really wanted it

rare moat
#

just my PC.

river talon
#

well if you can emulate it today you can emulate it tomorrow

#

remember this very well because old pcs break

rare moat
#

yeah, he tries to emulate everything, and such, as do i.

#

not reliable to do otherwise

river talon
#

yeah

#

he ditched most of his real mainframe hardware for emulators he wrote

rare moat
#

oh he wrote his own?

river talon
#

he wrote a fix for sdl hyperion that lets him use the real dasd disks from his p/390 machine

#

also wrote an emulation for the aws-ica integrated communications adapter

#

only seen on a p/390 and not on any other machine

#

thats how he is able to run one of the old versions of vm

#

the vm/esa 1.1 instance is on real disks

rare moat
#

ahhh VM

river talon
#

best os ever made

#

i used it some many years ago

#

we had a 9377 at work

rare moat
river talon
#

substantially more reliable than linux

#

and unlike rust and zig the compilers on there dont have bugs

#

like rust and zig they are hard to use

rare moat
#

lmao

river talon
#

thats how it was then

#

you either read the manual and worked the terminal or you found another job

#

unless you were a tape monkey

#

that is a hard job

#

librarian times a thousand

#

that is really what the job was called too

rare moat
#

mmmm magnetic tape

#

tastes yummy

river talon
#

tastes like blood

#

everybodys licked a tape before working in computing either on accident or on purpose

rare moat
#

on purpose
🥴

river talon
#

someone had to test it

river talon
#

hs will probably tell you he can taste the data

smoky island
river talon
#

and tried it myself

#

it wasnt very good

#

anyways..after those concerning comments

#

yes do not lick the tape because it degrades the adhesive

brazen jacinth
river talon
#

it also is toxic to us

#

and not what i would call a good alternative to burger seasoning 🤣

jovial island
#

but thank u for telling me~~!! ♡

river talon
#

crypto is a waste of processor time

#

waste of power..waste of disk..waste of good computing hardware

jovial island
river talon
#

not because its bad but because it is inefficient

river talon
jovial island
river talon
#

there will always be a market for food

if you are starving, you WILL trade me some corn cobs for some water

#

not some bitcoins

jovial island
#

but why do so many ppl talk about crypto and say its good tho~?

jovial island
river talon
#

because they dont know economics, practacility, and surely arent engineers

river talon
#

put simply..crypto is meaningless in the long run

#

if there is a power failure your crypto is meaningless

#

if you run out of disk space you can no longer maintain the blockchain

river talon
#

because your mining rigs take 10000kw of power

brazen jacinth
#

@languid osprey 👀

river talon

when your mining rig uses 4x the electricity of a 100 kw radio station you have a problem

jovial island

he do be lurkin'

brazen jacinth

i mean a radio station just throws magnetic waves out into space

but that provides entertainment

and also, very volatile

jovial island

crypto does not really provide entertainment

river talon
brazen jacinth

the entire value of the crypto market is defined on elons tweets

that isn't very good

just one man to wield the power of the world at his hand

jovial island

just one dumb man with no real matter

i wouldn't call him dumb tbf

brazen jacinth

besides if you are going to use that much power you better be doing something good with that power

yes childish is a very good way to put it

did you know a single cat has enough energy to power the entire country of norway for a year? i'd say we switch over to cat power

but yes crypto is massive power waste

tranquil sleet

cats generate electricity?

river talon
#

i say we switch over to sun power..lots of free power across the EM spectrum

jovial island
river talon
#

but solar panels arent so good

brazen jacinth
river talon
#

solar panels are only 20% efficient

river talon

and solar panels give off lots of radio interference

ML (Meta Language) is a general-purpose functional programming language.

i think that photography is taking a lot of time away from programming for me

brazen jacinth
dire sedge
#

yeah but that is just because it is so much fun

#

i also really enjoy editing the images although i think i might have only sent 2 edited images here

marsh kestrel
#

@dire sedge is that a macro lens you are using in the photos of the spider

marsh kestrel
#

Really

dire sedge
#

yes a 18-55mm

marsh kestrel
#

Got good foucus on that

#

U use auto foucus or manual

dire sedge
#

both

#

i would say it isn't bad for my first week

marsh kestrel
#

It looks pretty good

#

I just started as well

dire sedge
#

and ofc everything on manual

marsh kestrel
#

Ofc

#

What camera are u using

dire sedge
#

a nikon d3400

marsh kestrel
#

Nice

#

I’m more of a Sony fan

dire sedge
#

my camera+lens+bag was only €260

marsh kestrel

That’s a great price

dire sedge

#

I don’t have one just wants and needs

dire sedge
#

i don't think that i can help you with finding a good body for you although there is quite a large photography server on discord they can probably help you

marsh kestrel
#

What do u mean by good body

dire sedge
#

good camera body the thing you attach the lenses to and that makes the pictures

marsh kestrel
#

Oh thought so

#

I have an d one at the moment just a lumix g2

#

It use to be my farthest

#

What a 45-60m lens and a 100-200

dire sedge
#

so mostly for telephoto

marsh kestrel
#

#

Yeah

#

Thanks for the chat I’ve gtg

dire sedge
#

i'm planning on getting a 55-200mm lens sometime in the future

I'm trying to become more active on StackOverflow. Any tips on making answers (or questions) more concise and to the point?

#

They always end up very wordy, with lots of caveats and quirky lines of thought. I frantically edit them, sometimes rearranging sections and such.

#

I think that's a more general problem with writing for me.

@sturdy relic continuing from here #python-discussion message
that sounds insanely hard and how would i prevent light from the edges to hit the sensor

sturdy relic
#

but then again, thats why macro lenses are made, the glass is already oriented the other way in it

dire sedge
#

also i'm not really planning on making any macro images

#

i'm way more interested in landscapes and maybe some animals and some astro like just the milky way

sturdy relic
#

macro goes really well with programming, since the margins of errors are way out of bounds for normal human

#

I have a 11-40 for landscape

dire sedge
#

like that image i showed earlier it was quite hard the focus area was only a few mm

sturdy relic
#

but i really like my 200mm for it as long as i can frame something in it

dire sedge
#

i'm also planning on getting a 55 to 200mm lens

sturdy relic
#

i use tape on my zoom lens, so i dont use the zoom to much

dire sedge
#

actually i've already done 1 decent astro image here is that image #ot0-fear-of-python message (i don't want to resend it so i just send the link to where i did send it)

sturdy relic
#

its kinda a bad practice to rely on the zoom when you should just move the camera correctly into the frame

#

whats the duration of that imagE?

dire sedge
#

like 30 sec

sturdy relic
#

a manual tripod?

dire sedge
#

well a cardboard box

sturdy relic
#

oh damn..

#

i had one of those that roatet automatically

dire sedge
#

this was the un edited image

sturdy relic
#

but i sold my scope and gear because i did not use it that much

#

so much light pollution, a shame really

dire sedge
sturdy relic
#

oh, yeah. that might be it as well..

#

i had a newton scope with a camera mount

#

a 1200mm one, so you got pretty close to things

dire sedge
#

but there is a lot of light pollution like currently i can see a bright orange glow out of my window because of light polution

sturdy relic
#

could take photos of nebulas and stuff

dire sedge
#

that sounds very nice and expensive

sturdy relic
#

well.. it is an expensive hobby, a hobby where gear matters

#

it was similar to this scope, this is probably just a newer model, i got mine 10 years ago or more

dire sedge
#

can that scope follow the stars?

sturdy relic
#

this one can, mine did not, but i bought a motor and then it could

#

this was mine, only in blue

dire sedge
sturdy relic
dire sedge
#

thanks

dire sedge
sturdy relic
#

I think they just add a new colour and people like me buy it because its new and shiny 😄

dire sedge
#

well the marketing team does need to do something

sturdy relic
#

i really enjoy macro, but im terrible at it. i dont like portraits and for some reason i get great results almost every time

dire sedge
#

well it is probably just like any skill it will need practice

sturdy relic
#

for sure, my legos cant take photos of themself

dire sedge
#

also here are more of those baby spiders (the background might have been a bright green trashcan) that was at f16

dire sedge
sturdy relic
#

you get alot closer with the mp-e 65mm

#

at these scales you cant change focus, because it will mess up the focal length and everything will break

#

you have to move the camera in increments of 0.05mm at the time

#

i have this

#

on a tripod

#

connected to a motor that steps in small increments and a controller that pushes the shutter

#

if someone moves around me at this scale the whole image shakes

dire sedge
#

wow

#

that sounds like a real challenge

sturdy relic
#

what the pros use is this, but i just cannot get that in the stores in Norway, at least not when i checked last

#
#

so i made my own with a microcontroller and python 😄

dire sedge
#

do you also use focus stacking at the end?

sturdy relic
#

yes

#

the result is great, but its so easy to mess up a thing in the chain, and you have to start over again

dire sedge
#

probably even harder with animals because they move

sturdy relic
#

here is a pro doing this

dire sedge
#

that would make it a bit easier

#

that animal doesn't look dead

sturdy relic
#

i dont like hurting insects, so i just take the photos i can

sturdy relic
#

also thats hearsay 😄

dire sedge
#

i'm pretty sure that you don't have to kill some insects to get them to sit still because i think that some can get back if they are frozen for a bit

sturdy relic
#

yes, thats what i do

#

but you know, people might care more about a cool photo.

dire sedge
#

was just about to say "although that would require more research before attempting"

sturdy relic
#

damn, look at this photo that google showed me

dire sedge
#

how is the reflection and a small part of the leaf sharp

sturdy relic
sturdy relic
#

but this is probably something in the middle. like f10 or f12

#

and a precise focus

dire sedge
#

it must be both but in that case i'm very impressed at how it didn't move in the amount of time it took for the focus to be adjusted at that point you have to be sure that no one is walking and that there is no slightest amount of wind there

sturdy relic
#

the image is inside, look at the window reflection, those are drapes on the inside

dire sedge
#

ik it is inside but there is often still a bit of airflow

#

and people walking

sturdy relic
#

yes, its probably hours of setup

#

if a car drives buy outside, my macro is ruined 😄

dire sedge
#

i didn't even think about that

sturdy relic
#

let me finish by adding that im looking for a new lense, i just have not found the one i want

#

i want to get a 30-35mm prime lense, with something like 1.4 or 1.2, to use for street photography

#

and by finish i really mean, its midnight and im going to bed

dire sedge
#

that sounds quite expensive at least expensive to me

#

ik that it is almost midnight we are in the same timezone

sturdy relic
#

yes, i think they cost around 2k usd

#

its a bit on the pricy side for something i would not use that much

dire sedge
sturdy relic
#

yeah, and thats the price of just my macro lens, the 65mm one

dire sedge
#

but good night

sturdy relic
#

but that i have houndres of houndeds of hours with

#

well.. its all good 😄 keep up the good work, share your next image with me would you?

sturdy relic
#

have a nice one, and good night 😄

Macro photography is amazing.

Wish my phone was capable of proper macroing.

#

What kind of photography are you folks doing?

#

Hoping to cop a camera some day and get into aviation, automotive and perhaps nature photography. I’ve got some photos taken with my phone but of course it’s not as good as a mirrorless or dslr

dire sedge
jovial island
#

Ohh I adore astrophotography. Got a portfolio?

#

(I consider animals part of nature personally)

dire sedge
#

well i started only a week ago

jovial island
#

Or some images if you can share here

#

Here’s one of my babies.

dire sedge
jovial island
#

Got you.

#

Fml that big spider, nope, noooope!

dire sedge
#

and i really started after i bought my camera

jovial island
#

I just can’t stand spiders, arachnophobia and all that

#

But keep at it btw, I liked what little I saw (til I hit the big spider)

dire sedge
#

i fully understand why although there are only a few that are actually dangerous

jovial island
#

Yeah it’s an irrational phobia but it’s there and I can’t control it haha

dire sedge
#

the only thing it seems like you missed then would be the setup i used for the astro image (here is the link #ot0-fear-of-python message so you don't have to go past the spider)

jovial island
#

Thanks. Nikons are great, which one is that?

dire sedge
#

jovial island
#

Nice nice. Photography is one of my passions and I’d say I’m quite good at it, but due to financial reasons at my disposal there’s only my phone

#

Might pick a camera like yours in a few months

dire sedge
#

this wasn't very expensive at least in my opinion like camera+lens+bag was only €260

#

i could probably resell it all with a small profit

jovial island
#

Not a bad haul at all!

dire sedge
#

i could have found cheaper options but then my parents would have spend about as much on gasoline as i did on the camera and i didn't want that at all

it processes images and videos in to output that can be displayed in the terminal
