16:39:28 <Phantom__Hoover> although apparently KCl doesn't actually taste like salt so the original point is kind of moot
16:39:40 <elliott> hkt: are you a bot
16:39:41 <boily> Bike: no, salt's can't be molecules, as they are inorganic. their formulæs describe the proportions of the atoms in thei crystalline structure.
16:39:48 <Bike> i mean, you can't just drink chlorine ions
16:39:49 <hkt> no I'm not
16:39:58 <Bike> `welcome hkt
16:40:03 <AnotherTest> prove it! cheap ai can do that!

16:40:16 <boily> s/salt's/salts/
16:40:30 <Phantom__Hoover> yeah but at the same time the chlorine ions and sodium ions are kind of independent
16:40:32 <boily> hkt: what is your opinion on brainfuck derivatives?
16:40:42 <Bike> kind of
16:40:43 <hkt> A bit boring in my opinion

16:40:59 <elliott> did gregor just bring in both glogbot and glogbackup
16:41:04 <elliott> i've never felt more watched
16:41:05 <Bike> we may never know what truly occured that day
16:41:06 <boily> ah! a real someone if flesh and blood and other structural elements!

16:41:40 <Bike> oh the actual glogbot logs
16:41:41 -!- Gregor has changed nick to Guest66566.
16:41:47 <elliott> ??
16:41:49 <elliott> that's clog's logs.
16:41:51 <Bike> or... no
16:41:54 <hkt> I like low level languages though
16:41:55 <Bike> whatever too many fuckin bots.
16:42:03 <elliott> in fact glogbot's first N years of logging up to like... 2011? 2012? are just the clog logs
16:42:03 <Bike> ANYWAY: may 2's log starts with ME. good log
16:42:07 <Phantom__Hoover> no, clog is the old logs
16:42:12 <boily> Bike: I mentioned structural elements. that includes mechanical apparatuses that occasionally accompany things made of liquids, such as human beings.
16:42:14 <Phantom__Hoover> we don't use them any more because they're kind of shit
16:42:16 <elliott> s/glogbot/the codu log site/

16:42:46 <boily> I don't care about pluralseses.
16:42:46 <elliott> apparatæ
16:42:54 <elliott> i liked formulæs btw
16:42:57 <elliott> that was a good plural
16:43:03 <elliott> also salt's
16:43:04 <FreeFull> Notch and Jeb tried to get rid of him, but it didn't work
16:43:24 <Phantom__Hoover> the secret: formula is already the plural, the singular is formulum
16:43:28 <Taneb> I think everyone who says "formulae" should be forced to decline it as though they were speaking latin
16:43:40 <elliott> formulai
16:43:49 -!- Guest66566 has changed nick to Gregor.

16:45:00 <Gregor> Wile E.
16:45:03 <Taneb> And people who insist that formulae is correct when it's in the accusative...
16:45:04 <Taneb> Ugh
16:45:05 <ThatOtherPerson> oh
16:46:07 <elliott> maybe formula is a mass noun
16:46:39 <ThatOtherPerson> formularem
16:46:40 <Taneb> (I like "formulas", and latin)
16:46:42 <ThatOtherPerson> that is final
16:46:44 <Phantom__Hoover> i just can't handle all this formula!
16:47:23 <Gregor> Formuloodleoodleoodle-eeeeeeeee

16:49:05 <Taneb> NihilistDandy: one of my Latin teachers also taught Andrew Mitchell
16:49:14 <Taneb> Of "plebgate" (ugh) fame
16:49:48 <NihilistDandy> I know nothing about that except that Google News is blowing up about the sale of his bike
16:49:50 <Phantom__Hoover> is this where he learnt the term
16:49:51 <hkt> Taneb: where did you study latin?
16:49:58 <Phantom__Hoover> also why are people always ragging on the -gate suffix
16:49:59 <Phantom__Hoover> it's great

21:09:35 <boily> what is a huge page? 48’ × 36’?
21:09:57 <Vorpal> boily, very funny
21:10:17 -!- Phantom__Hoover has joined.
21:10:29 <Vorpal> boily, did you try google: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_(computer_memory)#Huge_pages
21:11:18 <boily> Vorpal: it's Friday late afternoon. my brain has went past the liquid state and deep into the pond-with-decorative-plants state.
21:11:28 <boily> Vorpal: nah. too logical.
21:13:12 <FireFly> Who measures pages in inches anyway?
21:13:16 <FireFly> measure*
21:13:41 <boily> uhm, us, and our southern neighbours.
21:13:50 <Vorpal> FireFly, good point
21:14:02 <Vorpal> boily, that is a minority though
21:14:06 <elliott> us and us
21:14:14 <olsner> hmm, wasn't that in feet though?
21:14:25 <boily> yeah. got mixed up with my keyboard shortcuts.
21:14:48 <boily> should have been ” instead of ’. still kinda huge for a page, even so.
21:15:22 <kmc> Vorpal: yeah, transparent huge pages should get split automatically
21:15:36 <olsner> they wouldn't be very transparent otherwise
21:15:39 <ThatOtherPerson> 5.0%
21:15:51 <kmc> when i mmap an explicit huge page mapping with MAP_HUGETLB and then mprotect() an offset within that, I do get EINVAL
21:16:06 <kmc> i presume the same thing would happen with hugetlbfs
21:16:14 <Vorpal> probably
21:16:31 <olsner> but those are very untransparent huge pages? (and what is "tlb" doing in those names?)
21:16:53 <olsner> a huge tlb sounds like something you would put lots of small pages in
21:17:04 <pikhq> Those are incredibly untransparent huge pages.
21:17:06 <Vorpal> oh funny, the read-write support for ubuntu live cds/live usb has a space leak.
21:17:35 <Vorpal> Each boot it will create a file in /tmp in the read-write partition image file, before mounting tmpfs on /tmp. It doesn't remove those files.
21:18:14 <Vorpal> actually a directory with a couple of files
21:18:45 <kmc> Linux seems to use the terms "TLB" and "page mapping" somewhat interchangeably
21:18:46 <kmc> sigh
21:18:58 <pikhq> Isn't the TLB rather... different?
21:19:03 <Vorpal> yeah it is
21:19:13 <Vorpal> TLB is the cache for page mappings
21:19:19 <pikhq> Like, I could've sworn the TLB was basically a cache for the page table.
21:19:25 <Vorpal> pikhq, correct
21:20:37 <olsner> TLB is a pretty weird name for a cache too
21:20:59 <kmc> although on some architectures, the TLB is the only mapping recognized by the hardware
21:21:38 <kmc> with such a 'soft-fill TLB' any TLB miss is a trap to the OS
21:21:45 <olsner> did they invent the TLB before caches were a thing?
21:21:55 <kmc> and the OS can walk page tables stored in whatever format it likes
21:22:01 <kmc> olsner: I wouldn't be surprised. virtual memory is pretty old
21:22:46 <kmc> PPC i think has a weird compromise with a true TLB and a hash-table extended TLB that lives in main memory, but not an architecture-defined page table format
21:22:56 <kmc> also it has segmentation

21:28:21 <olsner> on VAX, a quarter of the virtual memory is "Reserved for Digital"
21:29:07 <kmc> heh, yeah
21:29:16 <olsner> if I make a computer I'm going to reserve a bunch of virtual memory for myself too
21:29:29 <kmc> on i386 Linux a quarter of the virtual memory is reserved for the Linux kernel
21:29:40 <kmc> and on x86_64 a full /half/ of the virtual memory!!
21:29:47 <Bike> D:
21:30:21 <olsner> kmc: note, on VAX that's not for the operating system, the operating system has a different quarter of virtual memory
21:30:25 <olsner> this one is just for digital
21:30:27 <kmc> heh
21:30:30 <kmc> what did they use it for
21:30:40 <Taneb> Digital, of course
21:30:43 <olsner> it's unused according to wikipedia
21:32:43 <kmc> lololol
21:32:52 <kmc> what's the pointer size on VAX?
21:33:21 <kmc> even on machines with little physical memory, it would be useful to memory map large files
21:33:31 <pikhq> 32 bit it looks like.
21:33:32 <kmc> and to space out thread stacks, and stuff like that
21:34:08 <pikhq> This at a time when 4 gigs was a lot.
21:34:22 <kmc> i think memory mapped files would be more popular if not for people staying on 32 bit architectures forever
21:34:34 <kmc> which is a shame because they save a lot of work for the applications programmer
21:34:38 <pikhq> Yes. It's really quite convenient.

21:35:13 <kmc> at least we have shared executables and libraries
21:35:16 <pikhq> Particularly for certain screwier file formats, like ZIP.
21:35:21 <Bike> i can't help that i have a shitty 32bit computer ok
21:35:40 <pikhq> (where you need to seek to the end of the file and start scanning for the footer header.)
21:35:50 <pikhq> Bike: How old is said computer?
21:36:07 <Bike> I think I got it in like 2009.
21:36:17 <Bike> Wait, no, later, more like 2011
21:36:23 <olsner> they still made 32-bit computers in 2009??
21:36:35 <kmc> Atom and ARM systems are still 32 bit
21:36:36 <pikhq> olsner: Technically they still make 486s today.
21:36:38 <Bike> ¬_¬
21:36:41 <Bike> it's an atom netbook.
21:36:57 <pikhq> kmc: *Most* Atom systems are 64-bit now.
21:37:01 <kmc> oh, really
21:37:05 <kmc> did not know
21:37:26 <pikhq> Though when he bought that, it was only a single model of Atom that was 64-bit, so fair enough.
21:37:44 <kmc> the convenience I was thinking of is mainly that you can map a huge file, and the OS will keep as much of it as possible in physical memory, with intelligent replacement algorithms, and this caching is shared between processes, without the app needing to do anything
21:37:55 <Bike> also i pretty much just bought the cheapest thing i could find.
21:39:19 <pikhq> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186224

23:50:16 <Bike> "Still, I prefer things to be weirder, so I kept looking for the portal to this alleged Weird Twitter and finally realized it was mostly stuff I already followed" i know that feel
23:50:45 <pikhq> The one I know was used for people escaping East Germany (this has been documented) more just gave numbers with a specified meaning out to certain individuals.
