2013-09-30 04:15 <DocScrutinizer05> viric: have you ever seen RMS happy?
2013-09-30 04:16 <DocScrutinizer05> ooh, larsc said that already ;-P
2013-09-30 04:19 <DocScrutinizer05> actually I again did the mistake to read backsroll top-down instead of bottom up
2013-09-30 04:19 <DocScrutinizer05> seem the letters RMS and happy in one line trigger reactions in about everybody
2013-09-30 04:22 <DocScrutinizer05> (battery) as long as standby times of a laptop under linux are shorter than under (even!) windows, you know sth is terribly fsckd up in linux regarding power management.
2013-09-30 04:25 <roh> DocScrutinizer05: maybe its because people get stuff done with their linux and idling while showing a hourglass simply needs less power ;)
2013-09-30 04:25 <DocScrutinizer05> possible, but not really in line with what you see
2013-09-30 04:28 <DocScrutinizer05> it's rather that windows (like android) simply doesn't care about stuff like layering violations and instead implements whatever botch needed to make stuff work and forbid userland to do nasty things, while linux is a proper OS that allows userland to do whatever idiocy they like and system doesn't do anything to stop the fallout
2013-09-30 04:29 <DocScrutinizer05> so when OS allows background busy waiting then ineevitably some stupid app coders will use that feature
2013-09-30 04:30 <DocScrutinizer05> and on linux not even device drivers are remarkably saner than apps, regarding that
2013-09-30 04:31 <DocScrutinizer05> at least some of them
2013-09-30 04:32 <DocScrutinizer05> since linux wants to be compatible to every crappy hw you could imagine, which often implies not exploiting available power saving measures
2013-09-30 04:32 <DocScrutinizer05> even by design (like API)
2013-09-30 04:33 <DocScrutinizer05> e.g.: when you design a universal accelerometer API, you just can do poll basically. For sure you can't rely on advanced "embedded intelligence" of the accelerometer chip that's not to be found on next random chip in next platform
2013-09-30 04:36 <DocScrutinizer05> on windows it's simple: you have no driver at all but rather some closed source userland app that talks to peripheral, and a manufacturer ships both hw & sw in a bundle
2013-09-30 04:38 <DocScrutinizer05> of course this is a tad pithy now, but the basic idea is right I think
2013-09-30 04:39 <DocScrutinizer05> I had a lot of similar discussions lately, about "upstream" kernel vs Nokia N900 specific kernel
2013-09-30 04:40 <DocScrutinizer05> I still don't see any other kernel come into vicinity of maemo-2.6.28 when it comes to powersaving on N900
2013-09-30 04:41 <DocScrutinizer05> since they all despise the Nokia "proprietary" though FOSS/GPL kernel hacks
2013-09-30 04:42 <DocScrutinizer05> upstream rjects them since it doesn't meet their policies and rules on how software should look

2013-09-30 06:47 <wpwrak> hmm, does my memory betray me, or was it the case that once upon a time, in C, when having an array  char a[10];  the expressions  a  and  &a  were equivalent ? (this is not the case now)
2013-09-30 06:53 <ysionneau> I think so , it used to be at least
2013-09-30 06:59 <kyak> i think a, &a and &a[0] are equivalent
2013-09-30 06:59 <kyak> wpwrak: are you saying it's no longer the case?
2013-09-30 07:07 <wpwrak> at least gcc says they're incompatible
2013-09-30 07:08 <wpwrak> also clang dislikes it
2013-09-30 07:09 <wpwrak> the value generated is the same, though
2013-09-30 07:56 <whitequark> I think it's called decay
2013-09-30 07:58 <viric> wpwrak: I remember that being part of K&R even

2013-09-30 08:16 <wpwrak> the case that causes problems is  &array. e.g., if i have int a[10]; then &a is "int (*)[10]" (not to be confused with "int *[10]") and considered by gcc and llvm to be incompatible with a mere "int *"
