01:04:21 <fizzie> Is Eclipse really still the "leading Java IDE"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tools_for_static_code_analysis#Java says so.
01:05:02 <fizzie> I guess Google could've answered that for me. https://zeroturnaround.com/rebellabs/java-tools-and-technologies-landscape-2016/ reportrs 46% IntelliJ, 41% Eclipse, 10% NetBeans and 3% Other.
01:06:00 <boily> I like Eclipse. very powerful!
01:06:11 <boily> IntelliJ is hipsterer, but its interface confuses me...
01:07:37 <DHeadshot> How easy would it be to learn the Java Bytecode and write it by hand?
01:09:14 <boily> fizziello, DHellodshot.
01:09:23 <boily> probably about the same as writing assembly?
01:10:19 <shachaf> I expect easier, given how well Java decompilers wok.
01:10:21 <shachaf> r
01:10:49 <DHeadshot> hmm
01:10:57 * DHeadshot can do some assembly...
01:11:08 <sdhand> I would have said I expected harder, purely because java bytecode doesn't have mnemonics
01:11:24 <sdhand> I guess it would be fairly trivial to write some kind of "bytecode assembler" however
01:12:13 <DHeadshot> Is the bytecode documented somewhere?
01:12:36 <sdhand> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_bytecode_instruction_listings
01:14:11 <DHeadshot> (I don't even really know what sort of architecture and processor model the JVM uses...)
01:21:44 <fizzie> A stacky one.
01:22:38 <fizzie> The spec has a resonably okay instruction listing as well, https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se8/html/index.html

01:25:31 -!- tromp has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
01:26:00 <fizzie> I think I entertained the thought of compiling something else stack-based (Befunge? Forth?) to JVM bytecode and reusing the "native" stack for that language's stack, but it turned out the JVM bytecode verifier is super-picky about the stack.

04:03:49 <zzo38> I invented (but not yet finalized; the GM needs to do that, possibly with my help) a few new spells for GURPS, such as "Altered Vision" and "Vampire Transfer" spells, and also the ideas of "Seek Fire" and "Seek Wind" spells (to go with "Seek Water" and "Seek Earth").

04:18:02 <zzo38> "Altered Vision" spell allow you to temporarily change the frequency band of the target's vision.
04:33:03 <zzo38> oerjan: I think that you do not need some kind of "use only these words for definitions" rule as an absolute rule, but it should probably be a soft rule perhaps, and the example you gave should probably be OK to use that definition for one of the words but not the other; probably both words are on the same page anyways and you can easily find it, so if you look up one of them and you do not know what it means you can easily find the other one which
04:34:25 <oerjan> zzo38: what you want is to avoid cycles not involving any of the basic words - a list of allowed words is just the simplest way to ensure that.

04:41:32 <Jafet> some shields had iron frames, but I've never heard of shields with heavy metal bands
06:14:19 <zzo38> Neither have I, but the GM of this GURPS game seems to think that they do (with the exception of "light shields"); if he is wrong then I can notify him (he can refuse to believe me if he wishes, or even define some NPCs that have shields with lead bands, but I should notify him anyways).
06:19:08 <zzo38> I looked on Wikipedia and he does seem to be wrong; I see nothing about including lead in shields.
06:20:28 <pikhq> Good god, why would you include lead in shields, even as part of an alloy?
06:20:47 <pikhq> For that matter, why would you want a shield to be heavier?
06:20:53 -!- PinealGlandOptic has quit (Quit: leaving).
06:26:44 <zzo38> He said to absorb the damage, but that does not seem quite right to me.
06:32:24 <zzo38> How much heavier would they be though if they did have lead bands thick enough to not just count as being coated with lead?
06:35:46 -!- tromp has joined.
06:39:00 <zzo38> Someone who wishes to fight characters of the same species of my character, by the use of shield bashes, who knows of that vulnerability, may wish to add lead bands if the weight and/or cost would not be a problem.

11:10:13 <wob_jonas> \oren\: um, excuse me but in what sense are OSes handling emojis specially? I thought text engines like pango have had methods to render full-color fonts for ages, not because of emojis, but because of fancy full-color header fonts (as opposed to grayscale) and to be able to render formatted text.

11:23:15 <zzo38> wob_jonas: Because you have a lot of fire.
11:23:17 <oerjan> my brain registers "how does she set bombs so quickly in succession?" as ungrammatical but cannot explain precisely why.
11:23:57 <oerjan> aspect or word order, or something
11:25:05 <olsner> hmm, sounds fine to me
11:25:32 <oerjan> possibly just stilted
11:25:35 <wob_jonas> next time, they should rig the stream to show the amounts for the save and kill competition in real time, continuously throughout the Super Metroid run
11:25:55 <wob_jonas> what would you say instead? is the problem with "set"?
11:27:14 <int-e> Seems like a perfectly fine sentence to me. I might insert a "the" before "bombs" but it's not really required.
11:27:28 <int-e> (just a sign of being german, I guess)

11:31:25 <wob_jonas> I could understand using different verbs, like "lay bombs" or whatever, or "can" instead of "does"
11:31:43 <oerjan> "can" sounds better
11:32:18 <wob_jonas> yeah, English overuses "can" a lot, even in places where it doesn't make sense. When I don't, that's obviously a sign that I'm not native English.

11:44:42 <\oren\> would it end up being "sets" then?
11:44:55 <oerjan> we also don't inflect verbs for person :)
11:45:02 <\oren\> thank god
11:45:12 <oerjan> although i guess we do distinguish infinitive from present
11:45:47 <oerjan> not always in my dialect though
11:45:52 <int-e> oerjan: somehow that reference to a hotline made me think of http://www.gocomics.com/nonsequitur/1993/04/30
11:45:53 <wob_jonas> and the freeze beam even freezes platforms

11:46:30 <idris-bot> ^
11:47:08 <int-e> idris-bot: can you ignore me, please? :-P
11:47:13 <wob_jonas> what's wrong with inflecting verbs for person? it's a good thing, it lets you omit the subject from a lot of sentences. a lot of languages do it here in Europe.
11:48:01 <wob_jonas> it only sucks when the conjugation ends up being horribly irregular
11:48:13 <\oren\> wob_jonas: which is most of the time
11:48:20 <wob_jonas> yeah, that happens in most languages
11:48:21 <wob_jonas> sadly
11:48:33 <\oren\> and always with the most common verb
11:48:38 <wob_jonas> I hear it doesn't in Japanese
11:48:46 <\oren\> wob_jonas: correct
11:49:01 <\oren\> but japanese doesn't inflect for person
11:49:07 <wob_jonas> \oren\: if it's only with the most common verbs, that's not a problem. if it's with the two hundred most common verbs, like in French, that's a problem.
11:50:05 <wob_jonas> but Hungarian is even worse, you can't guess the most correct declination and conjugation forms even for rare words, so much that often different speakers don't agree what the correct declined form is of rarer words
11:50:48 <wob_jonas> at least in French all rare words are supposed to be, uh, "regular", as in, fall in one of like a dozen regular conjugations depending on its ending, unless it's an obviously prefixed form of some verb
11:51:03 <\oren\> japanese instead has irregular politeness forms like itadaku and gozaru
11:51:29 <wob_jonas> and English too only has like a few hundred irregular verbs, so once you learn about even the rare irregular ones, you're done
11:51:29 <\oren\> not too many though
11:52:53 <wob_jonas> as a result, speakers *expect* rare English verbs to be regular, so if a rare verb like "heave" has irregular conjugated forms, then it also has the regular ones as alternatives
11:53:13 <wob_jonas> ("heave". seriously. who invents words like that?)
11:53:34 <\oren\> heave, hove?
11:53:43 <\oren\> is my best guess...
11:53:59 <\oren\> based on weave wove anyway
11:56:00 <\oren\> the worst ones are the ones where everything past the lest letter is replaced with aught
11:56:19 <\oren\> s/lest/first
11:56:27 <wob_jonas> \oren\: apparently the irregular form might be more frequent in the particular nautical meaning, or something.
11:57:26 <oerjan> hove do you do
11:57:28 <\oren\> teach taught, buy bought, catch caught, fight fought,
11:57:59 <\oren\> and it's even spelled differently in half
11:58:09 <wob_jonas> \oren\: and think
11:58:17 <\oren\> right
11:58:25 <oerjan> stink stought
11:58:37 <oerjan> blink blought
11:58:51 <oerjan> try trought
11:59:03 <wob_jonas> and there's the horrible adjective "wrought" which isn't even the participle for any extant verb. no, not even of "wring".
11:59:03 <\oren\> draft draught
11:59:21 <wob_jonas> \oren\: that would be draw draught, right?
11:59:28 <wob_jonas> draft is just an alternate spelling for draught
11:59:29 <oerjan> wrong wrought
11:59:31 <wob_jonas> regional or something
11:59:40 <\oren\> yeah I think so
12:00:02 <oerjan> ping pought
12:00:07 <wob_jonas> stink and blink should obviously follow the pattern of the more common drink
12:00:32 <\oren\> like japanese has irregualr stuff but at least after the war they fixed their spelling system
12:00:33 * oerjan whistles innocently
12:00:40 <wob_jonas> anyway, IMO the worst are the ones where the conjugation causes collisions. lie -> lay anyone?
12:01:38 <oerjan> bring brang brung
12:02:00 <\oren\> oerjan: that's actually a fairly common usage in Toronto
12:02:10 <int-e> oerjan: what brought that on?
12:02:59 <wob_jonas> I stlil don't remember how that "lie" thing works. It has like two different random conjugations depending on the meaning
12:03:01 <int-e> . o O ( I guess "sing sought sought" is next... )
12:03:06 <wob_jonas> but what are those conjugations?\
12:03:17 <\oren\> seek, sought
12:03:23 <int-e> \oren\: I *know*
12:03:32 <oerjan> peek pook pought
12:03:38 <wob_jonas> there were some other colliding ones too, but rarer so I don't remember
12:03:52 <wob_jonas> oerjan: isn't that peek poke system?
12:04:27 <oerjan> system? i hardly knew 'em
12:04:35 <wob_jonas> or maybe peek poke varptr defusr system in more modern variants
12:04:50 <\oren\> lead led lead
12:05:01 <\oren\> where one of those is a metal
12:05:15 <wob_jonas> \oren\: and one of them is lighting technology
12:05:16 <oerjan> popular in zeppelins
12:05:41 <wob_jonas> and one of them is a rarer alternate name for dog leashes
12:05:47 <\oren\> need knead
12:06:48 <oerjan> fix fax fuck
12:07:14 <wob_jonas> one of the couch commentators in this has a strain accent I find hard to understand
12:08:34 <oerjan> . o O ( norwegian, being germanic, has irregular verbs fairly similar to english ones )
12:09:00 <\oren\> lie laid/lied lain/lied
12:09:14 <\oren\> that's what it is
12:09:41 <oerjan> spy spew spot
12:10:04 <wob_jonas> \oren\: no way. it involves "lay" as a form somewhere
12:10:21 <\oren\> lay is also a verb in the present
12:10:35 <\oren\> lay - laid - lain
12:10:58 <\oren\> as in "the chicken laid an egg"
12:11:21 <oerjan> ligge - lå - ligget, legge - la - lagt
12:11:35 <oerjan> (no:equiv)
12:11:41 <\oren\> "the man got laid" is the "lie laid lain"
12:12:22 <\oren\> it had better not be in the other sense of laid
12:12:29 <wob_jonas> \oren\: that's the problem, yes
12:13:04 <wob_jonas> so then what are the two or maybe three conjugations of "lie"?
12:13:09 <wob_jonas> and which one is for which meaning?
12:14:06 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: Later).
12:14:18 <\oren\> lie - laid or layed - lain is for lying down in a bed
12:15:00 <\oren\> lie lied lied is for lying about where you had lain the previous night
12:15:12 <\oren\> that's the two
12:15:15 <wob_jonas> heh
12:16:46 <wob_jonas> though my dictionary doesn't agree
12:17:13 <\oren\> really?
12:17:16 <\oren\> hmmmm
12:17:25 <wob_jonas> it says lie - lay - lain for the first meaning
12:18:03 <\oren\> i think lay also works
12:18:06 <wob_jonas> lie as in telling falsehoods is regular, so lie - lied - lied
12:18:29 <wob_jonas> and for the transitive verb, lay - laid - laid
12:19:20 <wob_jonas> in total this means that lie has four different past tense forms: lied, lay, laid, layed
12:19:22 <wob_jonas> horrible
12:19:42 <wob_jonas> no wonder I'm confused
12:20:27 <\oren\> meh in this particular case native speakers are confused too so youre all good
12:21:47 <\oren\> to me "I laid on the bed" sounds right but the dictionary doesn't like that so wtf i dunno
12:25:36 <wob_jonas> actually, let me check my other dictionary now
12:27:12 <wob_jonas> the two dictionaries say the same
12:28:47 <int-e> "I laid myself down on the bed" :P
12:31:41 <wob_jonas> it's confusing because in English there aren't too many such pairs where the transitive and intransitive verb are different but close
12:31:47 <wob_jonas> another pair is "rise" and "raise"
12:32:02 <wob_jonas> which also involves some irregular conjugation related to flowers or something
12:32:35 <int-e> but rise/rose/risen does not conflict with raise/raised/raised
12:33:19 <int-e> unlike lie/lay/lain(!) and lay/laid/laid
12:33:33 <wob_jonas> sure
12:33:38 <wob_jonas> "lie" is the worst
12:35:01 <int-e> and there's lie/lied/lied, so confusing.
12:35:15 <int-e> and lye.
12:35:46 <int-e> (which isn't a verb)
12:36:38 <wob_jonas> and "die" which also means like four different things
12:37:41 <wob_jonas> ceasing to live, paint, a mold as in container in which you pour molten metal or plastic to make it assume some particular form, and throwing dice for games of chance
12:37:48 <wob_jonas> some of those might be related, I don't know
12:45:11 <wob_jonas> I know this is obvious, but a 100% run was a good idea, because it shows up parts of the game you never see in other runs
12:45:31 <wob_jonas> and it's only about twice as long
12:46:48 <int-e> . o O ( is "twice" the plural of "twie"? )
12:58:02 <^v> /--\
12:58:02 <^v> . o O /\ | |
12:58:02 <^v> \/ \__/
13:00:39 <wob_jonas> I was stupid and messed up this jeans by washing it together with some new woolen socks at high temperature, so now it's all full of alien strands stuck onto it, and I can't get them off even by rewashing it multiple times. I'm now down to only one way that can fix it.

He could never remember the word "amortized" so he put it here for convenience; but lately it's the only word he can ever remember. His arch-nemesis is Betty Crocker. He sometimes puns without noticing it.
14:51:17 <wob_jonas> he's a @messages-lord now? must be a recent change
14:55:59 <boilyphone> Wob_jellonas. I believe that bit was added awhile ago.

14:59:53 <int-e> git mercurial darcs svn cvs rcs, I think those are the ones that I've used and rcs doesn't really count.
15:00:27 <wob_jonas> int-e: slightly, yes. I use git and subversion regularly, but I've had to use a lot of others one-off to checkout individual repositories when the data was only available that way: cvs, bazaar (really), mercurial, darcs, fossil, and that's only the ones I remember.
15:01:11 <int-e> I've heard of monotone, bazaar and fossil.
15:02:04 <wob_jonas> also, a few months ago my co-worker said they're making a new vcs in work time, for some particular purpose connected to a project at work. I asked him if they looked at all the other existing software and made sure none of them is suitable. they said no.
15:02:21 <wob_jonas> luckily it's not something I'll have to work with directly.
15:03:27 <wob_jonas> If it counts, I've also used several wikis that have built-in version control for their content.
15:04:39 <wob_jonas> And of course I've also used management's version control (copies of a file with version numbers in their filename).
15:04:55 <wob_jonas> And I've used diff/patch/diff3 directly a lot too.
15:05:22 <wob_jonas> Sometimes those help even together with a higher-level vcs.
15:07:34 <wob_jonas> I don't think I ever used monotone.
15:08:26 <wob_jonas> Well, hopefully "soon" ais's scapegoat will end the vcs wars forever, because it will be better than all other vcses.
15:09:52 <boilyphone> Is scapegoat like feather?
15:10:35 <wob_jonas> boilyphone: no, because ais does talk about scapegoat's design. it's more like just vaporware, more vaporware than aimake4 or the uncursed2
15:10:45 <wob_jonas> it's a lot of work to write a good vcs
15:11:00 <boilyphone> You don't say.
15:11:22 <wob_jonas> I have some vague ideas too, but I'll probably never implement them
15:11:42 <wob_jonas> and I'm not even sure if my ideas are consistent
15:11:53 <wob_jonas> as in, what I want to do might be logically impossible
15:12:39 <wob_jonas> what I should do is learn a little of mercurial to find out what its advantages and drawbacks are

15:23:18 <int-e> Mercurial reminds me of Athur Dent's attempts to get some tea. It's a VCS almost, but not quite, entirely unlike git.
15:25:20 <int-e> It has a sound foundation but its UI keeps tripping me up...
15:28:03 <wob_jonas> solid foundation but bad UI sounds like git, yes
15:28:33 -!- TellsTogo has joined.
15:39:17 <wob_jonas> which is strange because you'd think if someone decides to make a new vcs, then having to add a sane UI is the one lesson they'd learn from git
15:42:16 <int-e> do you realize that mercurial and git are pretty much the same age?
15:44:16 <wob_jonas> int-e: no, I thought mercurial is newer, because people seem to define it as better than git
15:45:13 <wob_jonas> or maybe that's only every other vcs that does that, mercurial doesn't?
15:45:24 <wob_jonas> I think I've met mercurial later than git
15:53:37 <wob_jonas> if it's as old as git then I guess it's undrestandible
15:56:04 <int-e> http://marc.info/?l=git&m=111475459526688&w=2 is the earliest mail I can readily find about mercurial.

18:35:23 <wob_jonas> \oren\: is that a list of characters? or does it mean something?
18:39:49 <\oren\> wob_jonas: a list of the characters I've added today
18:40:29 <wob_jonas> the SNES is amazingly powerful
18:40:32 <wob_jonas> so many good games
18:40:36 <wob_jonas> with such great graphics
18:42:29 <Zarutian> wob_jonas: the nice thing about SNES is it was designed (as well as they could at the time) to be as extensible as possible from the cartridge
18:44:08 <Zarutian> makes it sometimes pain in the arse to emulate for though.
18:48:10 <pikhq> Yeah, the cartridge can freaking bus-master.
18:48:26 <pikhq> It might not be the best way to make it extensible, but it's definitely flexible.
18:53:21 <int-e> so did they ever make games that came with their own coprocessor?
18:53:59 <FireFly> Yes
18:54:40 <FireFly> I believe some of the later games came with on-cartridge processors more powerful than the SNES itself...
18:56:15 <FireFly> "ST018 is used for AI functionality in Hayazashi Nidan Morita Shogi 2. It is a 21.47 MHz, 32-bit ARMv3 processor.[7]"
18:56:52 <FireFly> Kind of crazy compared to the SNES's CPU
18:57:06 <FireFly> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Super_NES_enhancement_chips has lots of other fun chips, too
18:58:54 <wob_jonas> FireFly: yeah. Then there's those laser printers from the late 1990s that had immensely powerful processor and memory in them.
18:59:15 <Zarutian> just to intrepret postscript iirc
18:59:22 <wob_jonas> We had one at home at one point, and while it wasn't actually more powerful than the desktop computer, it was in the same league.
18:59:38 <FireFly> Haha
18:59:48 <wob_jonas> These days we have powerful video cards instead, with RAM amount sometimes comparable to the main RAM.
19:00:01 <pikhq> int-e: Also, the SuperFX chips were coprocessors.
19:01:31 <wob_jonas> FireFly: admittedly, laser printers sort of need to have a whole page sized high resolution frame buffer, unlike dot matrix printers, which can get away with just like 512 byte of memory or even less.
19:03:58 <Zarutian> wob_jones: or that dot matrix printer a friend of mine owns, it is connected via parallel port and each pin just control diffrent action or senses something.
19:06:21 <wob_jonas> Zarutian: wow... that's like floppy disk and hard disk connectors, but those are internal to the case, and don't have to direct eight pins, so it's much easier.
19:06:29 <wob_jonas> I didn't know such a thing existed.
19:06:37 <pikhq> Which is a bit unusual for old parallel-attached printers.
19:06:57 <pikhq> Most of them used ASCII right over the cable.
19:07:22 <wob_jonas> I think I know there's a cheap dot matrix printer with no character buffer in it, so it can have even less RAM (and so needs even more continuous attention of the cpu than usual), but wow.
19:07:43 <wob_jonas> pikhq: ASCII or uncompressed bitmap graphics, yes
19:08:30 <wob_jonas> How do you even control such a printer? Do you need a special controller card in front of the parallel port? Or an unusually fast cpu?
19:08:34 <Zarutian> wob_jonas: yeah, it was rather cheapish for its time but could do graphics, if you had the correct software.
19:10:06 <Zarutian> wob_jonas: no, not unusually fast cpu. The thing took its time to work.
19:10:39 <wob_jonas> Zarutian: how much damage could you cause with it if the software was buggy?
19:11:02 <Zarutian> wob_jonas: made it rather easy for my friend to get it working with an arduino though. Loud as hell but does carbon paper nicely
19:11:31 <Zarutian> wob_jonas: not much as there were hardware interlocks and such in it.
19:11:38 <wob_jonas> Would it just print outside of the paper to the rubber drum, or would it like pop all apart so you can't even reassemble it, break the expensive head, and catch fire?
19:11:43 <wob_jonas> I see.
19:12:41 <Zarutian> yeah printing on the rubber drum happened but it was much a deal. Just remember to wipe it before the next page.
19:12:51 <Zarutian> it wasnt much of a deal*
19:14:15 <wob_jonas> Zarutian: how many pins does it have?
19:14:49 -!- Phantom__Hoover has joined.
19:15:04 <Zarutian> wob_jonas: dont remember but not that many
19:15:14 <pikhq> o.O' ECP parallel defined *DMA* over parallel?
19:15:24 <wob_jonas> Probably seven or eight then.
19:15:33 <Zarutian> think 3x3 or so iirc
19:15:36 <wob_jonas> I don't think anyone makes printers with less than seven pins.
19:15:45 <wob_jonas> Hmm actually...
19:16:12 <Zarutian> printed half line of characters at the time iirc
19:16:43 <Zarutian> or was it 1x8? I truely dont remember
19:16:52 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
19:16:59 <wob_jonas> Wandel did build a one-dot printer back in the day => http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/tech/printer.html
19:17:05 <Zarutian> yeah the latter.
19:18:33 <Zarutian> though there was software (written in FigForth iirc) that could do nice line graph plots on that printer.
19:19:07 <Zarutian> as the rubber drum could be stepped back and forth like the printer head.
19:19:53 <wob_jonas> 3x3 would be strange. you have to drag the head all the way through the paper, so I don't think more than one column is worth
19:20:08 <wob_jonas> having a longer column with 9 or 16 pins can be worth, but it's expensive
19:21:26 -!- tromp has joined.
19:21:32 <Zarutian> it did bolding by slightly shifting the rubber drum and reprinting the text or stuff to be reprinted
19:22:22 <\oren\> http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/tech/plotter.html
19:22:51 <wob_jonas> \oren\: yes, I know, what about it?
19:23:36 <Zarutian> but here is something that has puzzled me a bit regarding homecomputer magazines in the era of the 6502 is that there didnt seem to be any diy paperpunches or at least paper readers described anywhere in them.
19:24:19 <\oren\> wob_jonas: well he apparently created vector fonts from scratch
19:24:38 <wob_jonas> Zarutian: isn't that because they had casette drives at that time, which was way more efficient than ticker tape?
19:24:38 <\oren\> very impressive
19:25:14 <wob_jonas> \oren\: dunno, I'm a software guy, so I find building and maintaining the hardware more impressive
19:26:01 -!- tromp has quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds).
19:27:23 <Zarutian> wob_jonas: well, casettes were semi nice for keeping relatively lot of data. But I am talking about less than a kilobyte or so and it was often easier to optain paper than casettes. Even newpaper could have worked in a pinch.
19:27:38 <Zarutian> newspaper*
19:28:04 <wob_jonas> Zarutian: casettes were easy to obtain too.
19:28:26 <wob_jonas> As for a kilobyte of data, you just type that in the keyboard. Unless you have like a zx80 with those horrible keys.
19:29:13 <Zarutian> or that Polish one with 17 keys (4x4 hex plus the I key from a picture I saw)
19:29:38 <wob_jonas> which one is that?
19:31:14 <Zarutian> dont recall its name. But it was rather extensible design as you could add a real keyboard, diskette drive and so on via daisy chained ribbon cables.
19:33:03 <Zarutian> talking about membrane keyboards, I heard that new designs have started to use the capacitance touch tech to do away with the wearout on the keys.
19:33:43 <Zarutian> I like switch based keyboard for their feel but detest the amount of noise the buckle spring ones make.
19:34:01 <wob_jonas> The IBM PC was also a very extensible design. You would add extra RAM and all other sorts of extension cards to the card slots on the motherboard. A video card is practically a mandatory addition.
19:34:19 <wob_jonas> Zarutian: there are more silent switch keyboards I hear.
19:34:50 <wob_jonas> I bought a nice heavy noisy one for home a few months ago. Here the noise doesn't matter.
19:35:00 <Zarutian> yeah, IBM PC came rather bit later than say Apple ][ or.
19:35:21 <zzo38> I like the original PC keyboard
19:35:21 <wob_jonas> It's so noisy the springs sometimes even *echo* for a few tenths of a second after letting the key go.
19:35:38 <wob_jonas> But sadly spring keyboards are expensive these dasy.
19:35:47 <Zarutian> wob_jonas: I dont like the noise. Heck, I try to find ways to make fans less noisy
19:35:49 <zzo38> They had a good quality. The only problem was the lack of lights on the keyboard.
19:35:53 <wob_jonas> The keyboards themselves are expensive, and so is the shipping.
19:36:16 <wob_jonas> Zarutian: fans, sure. It's different. The keyboard is noisy only when I'm typing on it, and then it doesn't bother me.
19:36:20 <Zarutian> you can bludgeon someone to death in two strikes with these keyboards.
19:36:31 <wob_jonas> It's like how the sudden movements of the car bother you much less if you're driving it.
19:37:05 <wob_jonas> zzo38: you mean the XT keyboard?
19:37:20 <Zarutian> with at least 111 keys?
19:38:47 -!- Phantom__Hoover has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds).
19:39:07 <wob_jonas> Zarutian: no, the XT keyboard only has 83, the AT one has 101
19:39:34 <wob_jonas> This one I'm typing on has 104 keys, though in a somewhat unusual layout:
19:39:37 <Zarutian> both missing the numpad?
19:39:45 <zzo38> wob_jonas: Yes.
19:40:12 <wob_jonas> the left side is like that of a 104 key keyboard, but the right side with the shift and enter key is placed like a 105 key keyboard, with a long backspace and the backslash next to the enter.
19:40:34 <wob_jonas> The springs on this keyboard are a bit too heavy though, I should buy a weaker one the next time I buy a keyboard.
19:41:00 <wob_jonas> The biggest problem I have is with the shift. Sometimes I fail to press shift at the same time as the key it's supposed to modify.
19:41:22 <wob_jonas> So I type / at the end of questions even more often than with other keybards.
19:41:34 <wob_jonas> But even apart from the shift, the springs feel too strong.
19:41:48 <wob_jonas> Definitely need a weaker one next time (which won't be until some years I guess).
