2024-12-28 04:20:34 +0100 <homo> this is tour of acme, plan9's ide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP1xVpMPn8M

2024-12-28 04:19:28 +0100 <homo> you can find research papers from cat-v.org, but that site is currently down
2024-12-28 04:19:03 +0100 <Sisyphean> appreciate you explaining it
2024-12-28 04:18:47 +0100 <Sisyphean> ok I guess that's a good thing
2024-12-28 04:18:45 +0100 <homo> that is, you don't need ipv6 to eliminate nat
2024-12-28 04:18:25 +0100 <homo> if your router runs plan9, you can bind its /net to /net of your laptop and get access to internet without nat

2024-12-28 04:16:55 +0100 <homo> for example, there is file /dev/audio , it can be provided by kernel, by sound server and even by remote machine, but to your programs it looks like local file
2024-12-28 04:15:48 +0100 <homo> well, think about them as namespaces in programming languages
2024-12-28 04:15:13 +0100 <Sisyphean> amazing
2024-12-28 04:14:57 +0100 <Sisyphean> so like hierarchy?
2024-12-28 04:14:51 +0100 <Sisyphean> never heard that before
2024-12-28 04:14:45 +0100 <Sisyphean> yeah namespaces.
2024-12-28 04:13:15 +0100merijn(~merijn@128-137-045-062.dynamic.caiway.nl) merijn
2024-12-28 04:11:42 +0100 <homo> it's possible because of namespaces
2024-12-28 04:10:58 +0100 <homo> transparent in the sense of network transparency

2024-12-28 04:07:54 +0100 <geekosaur> yep
2024-12-28 04:07:50 +0100 <Sisyphean> is that Hamlet?
2024-12-28 04:07:45 +0100 <Sisyphean> geekosaur, wow
2024-12-28 04:07:41 +0100 <homo> transparent window system, not transparent window

2024-12-28 04:07:11 +0100 <Sisyphean> transparent window?
2024-12-28 04:06:41 +0100 <homo> 3 ideas from which everything is build - transparent window and sound systems, vpn, containers, cloud, etc.
2024-12-28 04:06:39 +0100 <Sisyphean> ok good to know I'm not alone in thinking the future was written 40 years ago. I will read more about plan9, I obviously misjudged.
2024-12-28 04:05:37 +0100 <homo> Sisyphean yes, and from the beginning it has features that make it more advanced than other operating systems, even on gnu/linux I still use plan9port because I don't know of replacement other than inferno-os

2024-12-28 04:03:26 +0100 <Sisyphean> homo: do you think it can catch up?
2024-12-28 04:03:05 +0100 <homo> more than 30 years of tyrant license and it is finally under mit license

2024-12-28 04:02:30 +0100 <Sisyphean> diff strokes for diff folks. long live the many-languages-many-paradigms approach
2024-12-28 04:02:29 +0100 <homo> Sisyphean anyway, what plan9 and haskell have in common is that they both are academic, they both are relevant today, the difference is that lawyers destroyed further development of plan9, after everyone got scared away by its license it got proper free software license 3 years ago

2024-12-28 04:02:03 +0100 <Sisyphean> yea I agree, surely CSP-style comm is how the Universe works

2024-12-28 03:55:21 +0100 <homo> tcl offers a clean syntax to quickly prototype gui with tk
2024-12-28 03:53:46 +0100 <homo> it's when such abstractions are separated in different languages they are easy to read and write
2024-12-28 03:53:08 +0100 <homo> go's abstraction is CSP-style concurrency, you don't need library for that, make's abstraction is dependency management, again you don't need separate library for that, prolog's abstraction is search, once again no library is needed for that
2024-12-28 03:53:00 +0100 <fp> I'm trying to write a parser with megaparsec and I want to read in input up to a delimiter. The delimiter can be a few different characters, but I'd also like for it to be EOF. However, the char parsing is of type =Parser Char=, but EOF is =Parser ()=. How can I make a single parser that capture both characters and EOF

2024-12-28 03:49:30 +0100 <homo> many languages are wonderful when they offer thinking from different perspective not available in other languages
2024-12-28 03:48:33 +0100 <Sisyphean> but I could be wrong.
2024-12-28 03:48:23 +0100 <Sisyphean> homo, makes sense. I think that'd be ideal. I still think there's always going to be naturally many languages and we just have to deal with it.
2024-12-28 03:46:27 +0100 <Sisyphean> yeah I stand corrected mid-80s
2024-12-28 03:46:24 +0100 <homo> plan9 is haskell of operating systems
