I don't count Chinese et al. 16:41:36 oh, it has enough characters for chinese 16:41:45 can people from, say, Moscow and Siberia understand each other's accents? 16:41:49 what's more, there's an official Chinese->Latin transliteration 16:42:09 which is more than can be said about Russian 16:42:33 hehe.. they keep changing the Chinese transliteration ever couple years and it still doesn't make sense! 16:43:17 tcn, Russians even can understand Ukrainian and Belorussian, if they speak slowly. 16:44:22 so it's not like here, where people from New York State and New York City can't understand each other? 16:44:24 About transliteration, there is too many variants: English-based, French-based, German-based, Latin-based. 16:44:34 let alone Americans and Brits :) 16:45:31 Of course sometime it is difficult, but in major languages are similar. 16:46:24 he. i should buy one of these and then put something on it written in forth. http://www.pololu.com/products/pololu/0250/ 16:46:54 what's a good cheap forth microcontroller ? 16:47:26 Ukrainian and Belorussian use somtimes archaic words or original words of Slavyanic roots. 16:48:10 That is the way I can read ANS-94 and other Forth dialects. :) 16:48:44 well wouldn't you say English and Russian have quite a few words in common? 16:48:47 You are to know roots. 16:49:45 IIRC, English has almost nothing common with Slavyanic branch of languages. 16:50:05 Slavic. 16:50:16 Well, Slavic. 16:50:50 I don't know how it is translated in English. I'm not professional linguist. 16:51:19 but Russian also has non-Slavyanic roots.. right? 16:51:29 Germanic maybe.. 16:51:34 Let me recall... 16:51:41 just released 1.10b 16:51:41 tcn! 16:51:58 hey 16:52:10 tcn: Most commonly used words are of Slavic origin. 16:52:38 tcn are you familiar with terminfo stuff ? 16:52:40 Some words are taken from Germanic languages or even English, but not many. 16:52:47 i just added a terminfo parser to isforth 16:53:30 Germanic and Slavic are close enough, but English has forgot much its German. 16:53:35 you're parsing terminfo?? 16:53:58 yes 16:54:00 I thought you were gonna bypass termcap/terminfo 16:54:07 its not perfected yet but its a start :) 16:54:09 no forth microcontrollers useful for a robot? bah. i guess i won't order this cute chassis. 16:54:16 the terminfo parsing works perfectly 16:54:21 its the terminfo files that are fucked in the head 16:54:38 and i have to cater to the morons who put the database files together 16:54:39 grr 16:54:59 OrngeTide: I know Ilia Tarasov and Ivan Makarchenko do their Forth-controllers. 16:55:00 who really uses anything but VT100/Xterm? 16:55:32 theres still differences between xterm, eterm, rxvt, aterm, wterm etc 16:55:40 thats all i care about 16:55:44 tcn: I use something like VT52. 16:56:20 asau: you mean an actual physical dumb terminal? 16:56:48 And logical too. 16:57:50 (Am5x86???, 16MB RAM, MS-DOS 7.0) 16:57:57 --- part: lament left #forth 16:58:04 ANSI.SYS is loaded. 16:58:16 oh.. that's more like vt100 16:58:21 I think it emulates something like VT52 16:58:48 --- part: nizchka left #forth 16:58:52 ANSI = vt100 with color :) 16:58:59 ASau: hrm. 16:59:07 My telnet program uses VT102 emulation. 16:59:24 OrngeTide: ? 16:59:42 Linux = vt320 with color 17:00:12 fucking freshmeat logs me in - i got to "add a new release" and it tells me i need to log in 17:00:13 grrr 17:00:14 Try to contact through RuFIG page, forth.org.ru -> Members etc 17:01:06 ASau: i was hoping for something off-the-shelf. 17:01:18 i found 68hc11FN which is just a 6811 with built-in forth. 17:02:17 i'd probably be better off cutting up a gameboy and writing it for Z80. :P 17:02:41 then i'd get a nifty little screen too. ahaha. 17:03:23 BTW, what does linux do with char. HEX 8D? That is cp866 Cyr.'N' (it looks 'H'), when I tried to get linux work with Cyrillic that was the only char. not worked. 17:03:35 yeah, those screens cost too much to buy 'em separately? 17:03:36 :0 17:04:12 tcn, the screens are dirt cheap. it's getting a damn controller for one that is hard/expensive 17:04:46 asau: 8D.. is there a mouse cursor? (an actual arrow) 17:05:44 What do you mean, I don't use mouse, so I don't need gpm. 17:06:10 does it show up at all? 17:06:54 No! It does not! I don't support mouse for myself. I don't use it at all! 17:07:08 but does N show up? 17:07:34 No. It does not. 17:07:52 i wonder if the font is bad 17:08:19 When 'Y'('N' is there) in rus. mode is pressed, nothing happens. 17:08:56 No font is not bad, external rus.files are shown correct. 17:09:16 oh just the keymap is messed up 17:09:40 It is default Slack's. 17:09:55 i see 17:10:03 I don't like to change such viable things like keymaps. 17:10:43 Hmm. "i see" is related to Slack? 17:10:43 * OrngeTide wanders off. 17:10:49 make a copy and edit that.. worst thing that can happen is you have to reboot 17:11:27 Slack's keymap coulda been missing your N :) 17:11:49 especially if it was made by a bunch of americans :) 17:12:34 Hmm. Well, it stays till the next time I go to install Slack. 17:12:44 you could download a correct keymap 17:13:51 oh well, it's getting late 17:14:39 see ya 17:14:45 After I calculated how many space eats GNU/Linux installation, that provides sufficient functionality to me, I decided, that DOS is better than Linux. 17:15:03 Slack is dead now. 17:15:08 yeah, DOS is simpler too 17:15:53 There is only one thing: slow file system. Though it is safe, I know how to repair it. 17:16:38 easy to restore too.. since the basic OS fits on one disk 17:17:20 Another problem is big cluster size, I'm too lazy to cut more partitions. 17:17:20 if they made DOS 32-bit it would have been great 17:17:43 I'm looking at freedos.org :) 17:19:10 Here it is another problem, I need ****ows could start, that's why here MS DOS 7, not OpenDOS or FreeDOS. 17:20:05 Another way is to write my own OS. 17:20:27 I think about this way too. :) 17:21:59 yeah.. i've figured out an OS won't do you much good unless you have a compiler, assemble, editor, etc for it :) 17:22:47 I mean, a big problem with Linux isn't the kernel, it's GCC and GLIBC.. they're hogs! 17:23:48 One plan is to replace DOS' tools with my own, and after everything is ready... 17:24:22 --- quit: gilbertbsd () 17:25:04 tcn agreed. however it would be nice if the kernel was open source 17:25:24 i.e. if everyrthing wasnt buried under 284975982346 gigs of obfuscation 17:25:58 it supports 20 cpu's and 500000 cards, if you can get it to compile :) 17:26:12 I agree. 17:26:21 lol - he should have 500000 different source trees then 17:26:32 BTW, there is osnews.com 17:26:51 needs to be better organized, more modular at the source level even if it is all compiled into one big kernel.. 17:27:05 There I tried to explain why portability of C/C++ is a myth now. 17:27:40 asau i keep telling everyone that - the problem is all the moronic c coders who refuse to belive their code isnt realy portable 17:27:41 I have seen only one portable source, that could be compiled for 16-bit 17:28:30 let me guess. "hello world" heh 17:28:34 thats fairly portable :) 17:28:48 I write nonportable C code and I don't give a shit :) 17:29:02 No, you will be impressed. 17:29:08 I write non-working C code. 17:30:14 It is gema, macropreprocessor. I had to break something for my C compiler ate it, but it works. 17:30:15 so do most c coders :P) 17:31:33 I think C is too static, you can't isolate machine/environment dependent code in one place. 17:33:05 It is easy to miss that somewhere number of bits really matters. 17:34:36 use a preprocessor to generate the top-level files & tie it all together.. that's what I'm thinking for the kernel 17:35:27 instead of having millions if #ifdef statements for various modules scattered all over the source tree 17:35:45 --- join: Speuler (~Speuler@mnch-d9ba4fb6.pool.mediaWays.net) joined #forth 17:36:23 "Use a preprocessor..." It seems to me, that this usage is more like inventing new more powerful language than C. 17:38:27 sort of, but it would be a really simple preprocessor 17:39:31 you edit some config file, compile & run the preprocessor, then compile the kernel 17:40:40 Another way is to keep all critical code in one place, but this should be compiled, not #included. 17:41:14 holy shit, have you guys heard of RFID tags? 17:41:34 What is it? 17:41:49 I did not. 17:42:13 like a barcode, it's a tiny chip that can be read a distance 17:42:36 it's like cookies in the physical world.. 17:42:50 tcn: those ones they inject cattle ? 17:43:30 My lynx kills all cookies. I'm wild and uncivilized. :) 17:43:32 like that, but they're going to replace barcodes 17:43:48 and the EU is considering putting them in money 17:44:28 must be a passive variant 17:44:33 so you could buy a shirt, with this little chip embedded in it, with a unique ID number, and it can be read from 15 feet away 17:44:50 i dont like that idea 17:45:40 Zamyatin, "My" ("We"). New, advanced totalitarism. 17:46:02 if it was like barcodes where say, a can of coke is 10523-93943, no problem.. if every can has a unique ID number... 17:46:38 well you'll be throwing it out after you drink it but suppose it's something more permanent.. and you bought it with your credit card, they can associate it to you.. 17:47:29 or you got cash with your ATM card, the cash had RFID tags in it, which can be associated with items you buy with it.. :) 17:50:04 just another pain in the ass to deal with, i guess, just like cookies 17:50:15 and telemarketers 17:50:26 oh well, i've really gotta go 17:50:31 goodnight all 17:50:35 --- quit: tcn () 17:53:37 --- quit: proteusguy (Connection timed out) 18:04:49 --- join: proteusguy (~username@65.191.88.177) joined #forth 18:06:45 Paranoya is a bad thing, but in our world it is usual state of thoughtful man. 18:09:46 BTW, possibly, this book is translated in English, Arkady Strugatsky and Boris Strugatsky "It is hard to be (as/like) god". 18:10:39 Good morning, all!
