07:10:34 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
07:11:51 <LordAro> TrueBrain: should probably add discussions to dorpsgek if they're going to work
07:36:09 <TrueBrain> As I said to frosch123 when he said the same: we accept PRs :)
07:38:24 <TrueBrain> But otherwise I will give that a look this weekend or so :)

11:07:50 <andythenorth> it's oh so quiet
11:07:57 * andythenorth frantically making html
11:08:09 <andythenorth> broke prod live yesterday oof :|
11:12:29 <Timberwolf> Replace it with web OpenTTD. We can do that now.
11:14:38 <andythenorth> might have some issues
11:14:45 <andythenorth> does OpenTTD have a podcast player yet?
11:15:33 <Timberwolf> "sorry our site gave you a 503, but you can watch Timberwolf do awful things to horses instead"
11:16:28 <andythenorth> that sounds like something from Amsterdam
11:16:32 <andythenorth> let's not go there

13:21:49 <andythenorth> groundhog *month* ? :P
13:33:07 *** HerzogDeXtEr has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving.)
13:39:32 <andythenorth> do we need a discussion thread like groundhog, but for daylength?
13:44:41 <glx> no, daylength is asking for troubles
13:45:21 <andythenorth> maybe, and I think it's not viable
13:45:30 <andythenorth> but I don't know of anyone place that sets it out as a clear problem
13:45:36 <andythenorth> problems can be solved
13:45:55 <andythenorth> or are intractable :P
14:21:18 *** sla_ro|master has joined #openttd
14:55:39 *** Progman has joined #openttd
14:55:39 <supermop_Home> andythenorth i think its just 2-4 different clear problems
14:55:55 <supermop_Home> and 2-6 desired solutions
15:00:02 <andythenorth> can we write them out, under headings?
15:05:00 <supermop_Home> you'd need one person with the focus to do that who also holds an empathetic understanding of each of them
15:08:23 <Timberwolf> Yes, and I don't think anyone has ever made the distinction between e.g. "I want a slower scaled game with proportionately smaller cargo production" vs. "I want the same game, but with slower technology progression"
15:10:26 <andythenorth> nobody has written into a stable public place
15:10:32 <andythenorth> it has been said a few times in forums or here
15:11:28 <andythenorth> the second goal I could understand better
15:11:41 <andythenorth> the first goal I haven't found understanding of
15:13:15 <nielsm> the first could technically be solved just by making vehicles much faster
15:13:32 <andythenorth> or newgrf industries and houses
15:13:39 <nielsm> yeah with lowered production
15:19:40 <Samu> question: how do i do the squirrel export thing now?
15:20:20 <nielsm> I think it's automatic?
15:22:29 <Samu> the auto-generated files are no longer part of the project?
15:22:41 <glx> they are generated at compile time
15:29:17 <Samu> ah, found it, it's in the out\build\ folder
15:32:15 <Samu> Git integration on Visual Studio changed again. It still doesn't have a force push. If it has a rebase, why won't they also have a force push

15:39:26 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] 2TallTyler commented on pull request #7028: Feature: Option to group vehicle list by shared orders https://git.io/JLnvm
16:12:39 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] SamuXarick opened pull request #8390: Add: [AI/GS] Missing water related functions and objects https://git.io/JLnqJ
16:18:34 <Samu> the preview.openttd.org is pretty
16:18:42 <Samu> but it crashes when starting an ai
16:22:43 <LordAro> newgrfs work, so it's not just downloaded content
16:25:52 *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
16:33:55 <LordAro> there's no crash info, unfortuantely
16:34:01 <TrueBrain> Pfft, who uses AIs anyway! (Which is only funny because I wrote the framework :D)
16:34:14 <TrueBrain> LordAro: in console should be snippets
16:34:36 <LordAro> TrueBrain: nothing except a numeric code
16:34:37 <FLHerne> How do I preview.openttd.org? Just that URL is a blank screen
16:35:11 <LordAro> i already poked TB about giving preview a listing homepage :p
16:35:54 <FLHerne> Oh, there's a custom loading screen now :-)
16:36:30 <TrueBrain> Which is not going to happen :)
16:36:37 <LordAro> TrueBrain: oh wait, there is something of value now
16:36:40 <LordAro> there wasn't before, promise
16:36:44 <TrueBrain> There is no autolisting
16:37:01 <TrueBrain> So ... empty page is best I can do :)
16:37:39 <LordAro> actually, this output still looks unhelpful
16:40:31 <milek7> if I have [STDC_BOOL] declared as var = network.something
16:40:40 <milek7> what is required to make it appear in settings window?
16:50:08 <nielsm> putting it in the settings_gui.cpp file somewhere, as far as I remember
16:52:19 <TrueBrain> LordAro: that looks very obvious? Something is wrong with a translation string? First line? What am I missing :D
16:52:58 <milek7> that's just warning, probably something else crashes
16:53:04 <TrueBrain> I am surprised it shows functionnames in the back trace :D
16:54:14 <TrueBrain> I will have to check myself when I am back home in that case :)
16:54:55 <glx> milek7: GetSettingsTree() I guess
17:01:00 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] btzy commented on pull request #7028: Feature: Option to group vehicle list by shared orders https://git.io/JLnWr
17:26:35 <LordAro> TrueBrain: looks like just a warning to me
17:33:11 *** jottyfan has joined #openttd
17:47:54 *** frosch123 has joined #openttd
17:59:48 <TrueBrain> LordAro: btw, I was thinking, I could use the root URL for the nightly OpenTTD .. at least is better than an empty page I guess
18:01:14 <LordAro> assuming we think hosting such a version is a good idea
18:01:29 <TrueBrain> I kinda want to put it on the frontpage :P :D
18:01:37 <TrueBrain> hmm, console also doesn't work with Chrome, funny
18:01:48 <TrueBrain> I tested many things, but not those :D
18:08:27 <TrueBrain> gratz andythenorth , on stimulating a constructive conversation on Discord today :) That was a fine read :D
18:12:26 <TrueBrain> "Exception catching is disabled, this exception cannot be caught. Compile with -s DISABLE_EXCEPTION_CATCHING=0 or DISABLE_EXCEPTION_CATCHING=2 to catch" <- is it me .. or is that weird? :D
18:12:30 <TrueBrain> set it to 0 to enable? :P
18:13:14 <milek7> better question is, what 2 does :D
18:13:36 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] 2TallTyler commented on pull request #7028: Feature: Option to group vehicle list by shared orders https://git.io/JLn2x
18:14:04 <TrueBrain> and no clue what 2 does, the documentation doesn't mention it :P
18:14:17 <TrueBrain> first place that documents it
18:18:37 <TrueBrain> so you enable the catching again, and it still doesn't capture it :D
18:18:40 <TrueBrain> THIS IS NOT USEFUL :P
18:20:02 <milek7> debug build, -s ASSERTIONS=1 -s EXCEPTION_DEBUG=1 -s DISABLE_EXCEPTION_CATCHING=0
18:21:15 <TrueBrain> lol... it shows the backtrace, then tells you it failed to capture the throw
18:21:27 <TrueBrain> script_controller.cpp:123
18:21:31 <TrueBrain> at least I have a line :)
18:22:14 <TrueBrain> throw sq_throwerror(vm, error);
18:24:45 <TrueBrain> so we have 2 bugs :D
18:24:52 <TrueBrain> 1) emscripten doesn't handle throws
18:25:01 <TrueBrain> 2) for some reason the library cannot be loaded :)
18:30:50 <andythenorth> what a long day of html today was
18:31:01 <andythenorth> maybe I stop now
18:32:07 *** HerzogDeXtEr has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
18:32:28 <andythenorth> it got results, but yes
18:32:39 *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
18:32:56 <andythenorth> the speedrun chat in discord is amusing
18:33:05 <andythenorth> I have no idea what is going on, but it seems funny
18:33:34 <TrueBrain> what ... are you doing? :D
18:36:54 <TrueBrain> okay, when building without disabling exception (this is so annoying to write like that :P), at least it shows the error in the AI window :D
18:37:01 <TrueBrain> does need some finetuning, but we can do that
18:37:44 <glx> oh of course AI/GS heavily relies on exceptions IIRC
18:40:01 <TrueBrain> glx: yes, yes it does :)
18:42:27 <TrueBrain> the whole reason it works is because there is a constant flow of Suspend throws :P
18:43:05 <TrueBrain> pathfinder.road.4 is downloaded, AI wants pathfinder.road.3, and cannot find it
18:43:09 <TrueBrain> well, that somewhat makes sense, I guess
18:43:28 <LordAro> andythenorth: i should ban you for making a '+1' comment
18:43:33 <LordAro> that's exactly what the reaction things are for!
18:44:48 <andythenorth> 'ban' is a bit "0->100 quickly"
18:45:14 <TrueBrain> give you a firm slap on the head? :D
18:46:08 <andythenorth> what even are reactions?
18:46:23 <TrueBrain> after I downloaded pathfinder.road.3 myself, which shows in the list of course because it is a dependency, it did work
18:46:37 <TrueBrain> so it seems the content download did not download dependencies correctly
18:46:53 *** HerzogDeXtEr1 has joined #openttd
18:47:11 <TrueBrain> neither does it on Linux :o
18:47:26 <TrueBrain> but .. then it should not work on Linux too, which it does :P
18:49:45 <TrueBrain> also on Linux this is an issue
18:50:03 <TrueBrain> so although 1) is an emscripten specific problem, 2) is not
18:51:08 <TrueBrain> but ONLY if I add a debug print on Linux, it crashes in the same way
18:51:11 <TrueBrain> otherwise it just loads the wrong library
18:51:33 <TrueBrain> righhhhttt ... I think we have a bug in the script loading code :D
18:51:52 *** HerzogDeXtEr has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
18:52:12 <TrueBrain> LordAro: for 50 points, can I interest you in a WTF IS THE COMPILER DOING THIS TIME? :D
18:52:32 <TrueBrain> well, 2 bugs honestly .. 1) dependencies are not downloaded correctly (wrong version)
18:52:40 <TrueBrain> 2) newer versions are loaded while not requested
18:55:51 *** Samu has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
18:57:34 <TrueBrain> ah, it is not related to my debug statement, it is just RNG
18:57:57 <TrueBrain> sometimes it does run "ScriptController::Import", sometimes it doesn't ..
18:58:41 <TrueBrain> which is pretty impressive, given it is the first line in the main.nut
18:59:31 <TrueBrain> so a timing bug too
18:59:37 <TrueBrain> not for me to debug, not today :)
18:59:49 <TrueBrain> I will see about the catch{} stuff this weekend or sot :)
19:00:36 <TrueBrain> yeah ... I think I just file a bug-report, honestly :)
19:01:04 <TrueBrain> but something strange is happening :D
19:01:08 *** jottyfan has quit IRC (Quit: jottyfan)
19:03:03 <TrueBrain> very curious how long it takes before we get a bug report: I start with 0 money!!!! :D
19:03:15 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] TrueBrain approved pull request #8386: Change: extend the allowed range for max loan setting https://git.io/JLni2
19:03:52 <LordAro> i was about to ask why the regression sav has its results changed
19:03:56 <LordAro> but then i read a bit more
19:04:09 <TrueBrain> you missed a mind-fuck yesterday :)
19:04:45 <frosch123> are the int64 correct? or should they be Money?
19:04:46 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] LordAro approved pull request #8386: Change: extend the allowed range for max loan setting https://git.io/JLnid
19:06:16 <andythenorth> ha PR count is up though :)
19:06:24 <andythenorth> lol 'contributions' :)

19:09:46 <TrueBrain> LordAro: lol, I just also checked that :P
19:11:06 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] TrueBrain commented on pull request #8391: RFC: Feature: Public key company authorization https://git.io/JLnXv
19:15:11 <TrueBrain> LordAro: OpenTTD still does {} when things are not on the same line as "if", right?
19:15:14 <TrueBrain> (even for one-liners)
19:16:09 <TrueBrain> owh, you already mentioned that, sorry :D
19:17:11 <LordAro> if (foo) single_statement();
19:17:28 <LordAro> if (foo) {\nmultiple();\nstatements();\n}
19:18:38 <andythenorth> can we clear out any 'probably nots'?
19:20:00 <TrueBrain> milek7: from your description, but I would have to look into the code, it sounds like your "pubkey" just acts like a secret
19:20:38 <milek7> it's more like username
19:21:11 <milek7> and during connecting to server you must prove you can sign something with matching privatekey
19:21:24 <TrueBrain> okay, yeah, that is not that clear in your words, hence me asking :)
19:21:33 <TrueBrain> you should always sign something with what only you know
19:21:39 <TrueBrain> what the other side can validate that only you signed :)
19:22:10 <TrueBrain> but this can be a lingo issue :D
19:22:45 <TrueBrain> so "secret_key" is private_key?
19:23:01 <TrueBrain> (not debating how to call it, just so we talk the same words :D)
19:23:37 <TrueBrain> as if there is one thing I learnt from working for a cyber security company for 6 years ... it is easy to write encryption, it is MUCH EASIER to fuck it up :P
19:24:18 <TrueBrain> I literally have seen people sending their pubkey + challenge back, without signing anything
19:24:22 <TrueBrain> thinking it was secure :P
19:24:36 <TrueBrain> or, having the server with a private key, while authenticating clients
19:24:55 <TrueBrain> the horror stories ... right, focus ..
19:24:58 <milek7> server sends 16 random bytes, client signs them and returns its pubkey and signature
19:24:59 <milek7> server verifies if signature is valid for given pubkey and random data it sent earlier
19:25:50 <TrueBrain> signature == signing, I assume?
19:25:54 <TrueBrain> yes, we covered that
19:26:32 <TrueBrain> (people tend to confuse digests with signing, hence the maybe stupid question :D)
19:27:29 <TrueBrain> how does it handle you setting a company password after it also has a pubkey protection?
19:27:53 <milek7> and requires either one to join
19:28:03 <milek7> (if pubkey doesn't match, you can still try to enter password)
19:28:21 <TrueBrain> why is there a string "KEYAUTH" in there .. what does that do ... hmm
19:30:24 <TrueBrain> not clear to me if it is a nonce or not, but meh, doesn't really matter in our context
19:33:27 <TrueBrain> it uses Curve25519 .. so DH .. so .. we can also encrypt communication between client/server this way? :D
19:34:35 <milek7> there's encryption and dedicated key-exchange api in this
19:35:36 <TrueBrain> and again, sorry if the questions sound stupid to you; but I don't know your background, and if you copy/pasted this together or know what you are doing :P
19:35:44 <TrueBrain> occupational hazard ;)
19:35:59 <milek7> of course I copy-pasted this :P
19:36:45 <TrueBrain> I wanted to throw in an insult to another user of this channel, but I refrained :)
19:38:20 <TrueBrain> no, insulting Xaroth I do without issue
19:38:27 <TrueBrain> our PeterT replacement
19:38:45 <frosch123> ah, also starts with X sometimes
19:40:28 <TrueBrain> milek7: looks nice on the surface; haven't looked into yet where you leave your secrets, but that will come :)
19:40:48 <TrueBrain> no clue how we rate another 3rdparty library, but it is rather small, so meh
19:41:30 <milek7> any comment on 'Implications and further changes' paragraph?
19:42:32 <TrueBrain> more keys -> no comments at this stage; there are 2 roads from a PR like this, how I see it
19:42:48 <TrueBrain> either server tracks "last name" with pubkeys, store that in savegame, so you can manage who can access your company
19:42:54 <TrueBrain> or we bounce it via a centralized server
19:43:04 <TrueBrain> basically, this is the cheap variant of the ssl library I have been wanting ;)
19:43:54 <TrueBrain> privacy concerns -> yes and no, depends on ^^
19:44:01 <TrueBrain> you can just generate a key per server you join
19:44:11 <TrueBrain> makes it completely anonymous
19:46:08 <milek7> I have this idea with sharing pubkey with other clients, so you could have cross-server friends list etc.
19:46:10 <milek7> there's slight privacy issue but meh, it's like username in any other game
19:46:53 <milek7> and there would be that 'privacy' option with keys generated for specific server
19:47:10 <TrueBrain> with a "centralized" server idea, you can have a true friends list (again, not really centralized .. a connected group of servers, is a better word :D)
19:47:35 <TrueBrain> it also means you can bind a username to a pubkey
19:47:40 <TrueBrain> which solves SO MANY ISSUES server admins have
19:48:59 <TrueBrain> (in regards to faking you are someone else :P)
19:55:17 <milek7> if (keypair_file == nullptr) or if (!keypair_file)
19:56:44 <TrueBrain> but explicit for implicit, so the first, I think :)
19:57:48 <TrueBrain> never assume nullptr is 0 :P :D
19:57:56 <TrueBrain> is this fixed in specs by now, that it is 0?
19:59:19 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] TrueBrain commented on pull request #8386: Change: extend the allowed range for max loan setting https://git.io/JLnHz
20:00:07 <frosch123> we no longer follow that rule. it's a C rule, that came out of fashion in c++
20:00:15 <milek7> "A prvalue of arithmetic, unscoped enumeration, pointer, or pointer to member type can be converted to a prvalue of type bool. A zero value, null pointer value, or null member pointer value is converted to false; any other value is converted to true."
20:00:58 <LordAro> milek7: i tend to prefer explicit null checks
20:01:14 <LordAro> it does work, and it is defined to work, but it's still confusing
20:01:16 <TrueBrain> milek7: wow .. well, that is an improvement :)
20:01:54 <frosch123> TrueBrain: that is a c argument. c++ is type-strict and does an implicit conversion to bool, when needed
20:02:18 <TrueBrain> just to repeat myself: that is an improvement :)
20:02:35 <TrueBrain> (not sure what was a C argument .. that it is an improvement? Not sure :D)
20:02:55 <frosch123> in C everything is an int
20:04:43 <frosch123> only in C you find stuff like "if (!intbool1 == !intbool2)" or "int safebool = !!intbool;"
20:04:43 <TrueBrain> well, strictly seen that is a pointer to a piece of memory :P
20:05:12 <frosch123> TrueBrain: haha, no :) with that interpretation you get undefined behaviour
20:05:20 * LordAro regularly finds things like "boolVal != false" in C++ at work
20:05:41 <TrueBrain> in any language ... beginner Python programmers do that a lot too :(
20:06:09 <frosch123> LordAro: yeah, you can only make that worse with "return boolval ? true : false"
20:06:53 <TrueBrain> never sure what is worse: "return var ? true : false" or "return !!var"
20:07:00 <TrueBrain> (where var is anything, not only bools)
20:07:14 <LordAro> if (boolval) { return true; } else { return false; }
20:07:17 <frosch123> yeah !! is C in a nutshell :)
20:07:28 <LordAro> also JS and other loosely typed languages
20:07:32 <TrueBrain> but "return" has the same function, basically :P So I am never really sure :)
20:07:39 <frosch123> LordAro: now you are paid by lines of code :)
20:07:42 <TrueBrain> I do not understand C++ :(
20:08:03 <frosch123> not understanding c++ is no excuse to like c
20:08:27 <TrueBrain> I never said that :) That is your interpretation ;)
20:08:46 <TrueBrain> I like C. And, completely unrelated, I do not understand C++
20:09:06 <frosch123> well "liking C" is just wrong :)
20:09:09 <TrueBrain> it is just annoying that most people assume: you know C? Owh, here is a C++ program, can you debug?
20:09:36 <frosch123> oh, don't worry, people also claim the reverse :)

20:09:37 <TrueBrain> Well, you know I am not completely there, so that is no surprise I hope :P
20:09:54 <TrueBrain> well, I guess if you can read C++ syntax, you at least know what the C code reads
20:10:01 <TrueBrain> I have C++ constructs, I am like: WTF DOES THIS DO!?
20:10:13 <frosch123> to quote kate gregory: when people say you should learn C before learning C++, do they mean you should also learn modula2 first? :)
20:10:27 <TrueBrain> that really is bullshit, to learn C before C++
20:10:34 <TrueBrain> which idiots say that? :D
20:11:01 <frosch123> TrueBrain: if you think c++ people can do c, then you never saw a c++ guy trying to use zero-terminated strings or data
20:11:14 <LordAro> might have been worthwhile 20 years ago
20:11:19 <TrueBrain> if you only ever used std::string
20:11:34 <TrueBrain> okay, I will adjust my opinion now :D
20:11:34 <FLHerne> Well, unfortunately almost all of C is a subset of C++, so you really can't learn the latter without the former
20:11:40 <TrueBrain> C++ people are just an island :P
20:12:14 <frosch123> TrueBrain: for some reason i had to deal with multiple people who implemented some serialisation-like code in c++. they are wrote unterminated strings, and were confused that the decoding failed
20:12:38 <TrueBrain> I guess you also have to know less and less what pointers really are?
20:12:49 <TrueBrain> "the compiler warns you if I have to add a &"? :D
20:13:09 <TrueBrain> in Rust, you mostly need to understand when it copies and when it doesn't (by-ref or by-value, basically)
20:13:13 <TrueBrain> which is pretty nice
20:13:51 <LordAro> TrueBrain: tbf, a lot of my Rust is adding & or * until it works
20:13:59 <TrueBrain> to give an example that I as C programmer am like: WUTH?!, one that cracks me up: "for (auto &s : sockets) {"
20:14:20 <TrueBrain> LordAro: not saying it isn't, most mentioning you no longer need to understand pointers and memory allocation really :)
20:14:50 <TrueBrain> well, you have lifetime in return for that, but okay
20:15:30 <TrueBrain> owh, one I ran into with emscripten that made me look up what was going on: "for (ContentInfo *ci : *cv) delete ci;"
20:16:25 <frosch123> all tests were added due to experience with previous hires
20:16:39 <TrueBrain> wow ..., that is a nice test, honestly :)
20:17:37 <frosch123> there were plenty of people who worked for > 5 years, and still failed it
20:17:43 * LordAro tells the Big Boss that to run a powershell script he needs to not quote the filename
20:17:59 <frosch123> they just write A, and when it crashes they ask a coworker
20:18:13 <TrueBrain> null pointer exception, enjoy debugging :D
20:18:23 <TrueBrain> and if you don't know, it is really difficult to know what is causing it
20:18:33 <TrueBrain> you really have to understand pointers, stack, etc
20:18:36 <frosch123> TrueBrain: not null pointer, uninitialised pointer :)
20:18:41 <LordAro> frosch123: depends on the function !
20:18:42 <TrueBrain> if it is on the stack it is 0 :P
20:18:55 <TrueBrain> if it is in the heap ... well, yes :)
20:18:57 <LordAro> some functions would initialise the pointer for you ;)
20:19:16 <frosch123> since when are stack variables zero initialised?
20:19:22 <frosch123> is that some security compiler option?
20:20:27 <FLHerne> People fail this? I should apply for some C jobs :p
20:20:44 <TrueBrain> frosch123: no, you are right; it is only true for static variables ofc :)
20:20:51 <TrueBrain> what ever went into the bss :)
20:21:07 <LordAro> FLHerne: is that really what you want though? :p
20:21:10 <frosch123> yeah, the program loaded zeros stuff :)
20:21:11 <TrueBrain> so non-static globals are 0 too
20:21:23 <TrueBrain> which is a lovely mindfuck sometimes .. people moving a global to a local
20:21:26 <TrueBrain> and poef, it is no longer 0
20:22:05 <frosch123> FLHerne: you get that at any company older than 30 years
20:23:16 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] TrueBrain merged pull request #8387: Change: send network error to the server before making an emergency save https://git.io/JLsmp
20:23:29 <frosch123> TrueBrain: what is a non-static global? did you mean non-const?
20:23:41 *** k-man has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
20:23:50 <TrueBrain> "int a;" outside a function
20:23:59 <TrueBrain> not the word "static" in front of it :)
20:24:10 <frosch123> ah, so an external variable
20:24:34 <frosch123> but static and external have the same initialisation
20:24:49 <TrueBrain> they don't have to be defined anywhere else
20:25:00 <TrueBrain> what is that online compiler thing LordAro ? :)
20:25:20 <FLHerne> LordAro: Yeah, C code generally does interesting stuff
20:25:44 <TrueBrain> non-static global, is what I mean :)
20:25:54 <TrueBrain> no clue if it is also external btw .. might :P
20:25:56 <LordAro> godbolt is love, godbolt is life
20:25:59 <TrueBrain> but there is no "extern" there too
20:26:06 <LordAro> FLHerne: you're not wrong there
20:26:13 <frosch123> TrueBrain: it is "extern"
20:26:20 <TrueBrain> but not defined anywhere
20:26:25 <frosch123> "extern" is the default for global scope
20:26:37 <TrueBrain> I always learned you had to define an "extern" variable too :P
20:26:47 <frosch123> TrueBrain: ok, you only defined it :)
20:27:16 <TrueBrain> but anyway, that type of global :D
20:27:25 <frosch123> yes, but that is also zero
20:27:51 <TrueBrain> (is in this way of using, as .. stack is zero'd)
20:28:11 <TrueBrain> depends on compiler
20:28:18 <TrueBrain> okay, this C nonsense has to stop!
20:28:29 <frosch123> well, i still disagree with you
20:28:54 <TrueBrain> on startup, the memory is most of the time wiped
20:29:00 <TrueBrain> I don't mean that the stack is zero'd on call
20:29:21 <LordAro> std::unique_ptr<User> tb = std::make_unique(TrueBrain);
20:29:34 <frosch123> it's not "most of the time". the linker explicitly states what memory sections to load from disk, and which to zero
20:29:34 <TrueBrain> I mean, run the above godbolt as often as you want
20:29:45 <TrueBrain> well, I don't know if the compiler optimizes this :D
20:29:58 <frosch123> run ldd on your exectuable, and it will tell you
20:30:02 <TrueBrain> we say the same thing I think frosch123 :)
20:32:56 <TrueBrain> static locals are, yes :)
20:33:36 <TrueBrain> but I mentioned that 10 minutes ago :) As I said, we mean the same thing, but something something, language :)
20:36:05 <TrueBrain> either way, it gives a lot of lovely bugs if people are like: this code can be made easier! And move around variables and/or add static ... it is fun :D
20:36:08 <TrueBrain> it makes C interesting!
20:37:19 <TrueBrain> can godbolt also show what it put in what segment, like bss, data, etc?
20:37:28 <TrueBrain> or is b.0 just bss, etc?
20:38:00 <frosch123> haha, the worst bug i ever found was: programmer A copies a checksum/hash-algorithm from a textbook somewhen in early 90s. it's that kind of algorith that shifts and ors bytes while doing modulo with a prime
20:38:34 <frosch123> then programmer B comes around: this modulo is slow, i move it outside the loop. i am so proud of this optimisation that i put my name into the code
20:39:02 <frosch123> (hint: this "optimisation" made the checksum/hash only consider the last 8 bytes)
20:39:09 <TrueBrain> and the "module" was no longer prime :P
20:39:27 <frosch123> nah, they did not change to modulo
20:39:39 <TrueBrain> I meant byte-wrapping as "module" :)
20:40:27 <frosch123> they just did "result = 0; for (b : buffer) { result = result << 8 | b } return result % magic;"
20:40:56 <TrueBrain> my "joke" was that it still does module, only with UINT32_MAX :P
20:41:07 <TrueBrain> or-what-ever-the-size-is
20:41:12 <frosch123> too complicated for me :)
20:41:19 <TrueBrain> yeah, I am sorry :)
20:41:48 <frosch123> but they had already left the company, so i could not confront them :)
20:42:07 <TrueBrain> but this is why I like C!
20:42:27 <TrueBrain> it is easier to make bugs :P C++ starts to warn you about it
20:42:32 <TrueBrain> "did you mean blablabla"
20:42:34 <TrueBrain> well, not in your example
20:42:37 <TrueBrain> but you get what I mean :)
20:42:56 <glx> especially when you don't know what you're doing
20:44:01 <TrueBrain> (okay, in all fairness, I hate that I never learnt C++, and never took the time to learn it; but sssttttt)
20:44:01 <glx> c++ does minimum checking
20:44:40 <glx> oh I still don't fully understand templates (I can't read yapf)
20:44:49 <TrueBrain> NOBODY can read YAPF
20:45:51 <glx> but many c++ things are not too hard to read
20:45:58 *** andythenorth has quit IRC (Quit: andythenorth)
20:46:10 <TrueBrain> reading is fine, the writing is the problem
20:46:17 <TrueBrain> like ... how do you come up with it :P
20:46:53 <glx> usually I open cppreference, and look for something in std that could work
20:47:39 <glx> I'm still surprised there's no getopt stuff in std c++
20:47:40 <TrueBrain> you have all those "for" constructs, "const" is used a lot more in many .. weird ways, by-value calls are more common, which are not always by-value, it is really confusing to me :D

20:51:09 <frosch123> no, but i think my brother had a university teacher who was involved with that
20:51:26 <TrueBrain> I noticed my brain cannot think in a function construct
20:51:38 <frosch123> but i got the impression that none of the students took him serious while talking about it
20:51:39 <TrueBrain> which is funny to me, as it shows limits of my brain :)
20:51:47 <frosch123> or maybe that was just my brother

20:52:39 <TrueBrain> I just gave up on it
20:52:53 <frosch123> huh? what changed with centos? isn't "centos" just redhat without support?

20:57:32 <TrueBrain> so a reboot of CentOS is just hilarious :)
20:58:14 <frosch123> ok, so centos is mysql, and rocky is the new mariadb?
20:58:48 <frosch123> well, someone has to annoy me about making stuff that that compiles with gcc 4.8
20:59:11 *** Speeder_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
20:59:13 <TrueBrain> why .. is someone still using 4.8?
20:59:18 <TrueBrain> do we want to know? :D
20:59:51 <frosch123> 4.8 is the standard compiler on centos/rhel 7
21:00:02 <Samu> Quick question: are you planning to release 1.10.4 soon or not really? Asking because I could use AIPriorityQueue on my AI
21:00:03 <frosch123> (maybe i confuse it with 6, but pretty sure it is 7)
21:00:32 <frosch123> it just about supports c++11, though not officially
21:01:29 <TrueBrain> CentOS 6 uses GCC 4, it seems ..
21:01:42 <frosch123> i like to say: comparing windows with linux is hard :) debian is 5 years ahead of windows, but rhel is 10 years behind debian, so 5 years behind windows
21:02:11 <frosch123> centos 7 is about windows vista. it comes with a completely broken gnome
21:02:19 <TrueBrain> I tend to forgot how "stable" CentOS is, with a cost :)
21:02:34 <frosch123> though i am not sure whether gnome 3 exists in any other state than "completely broken"
21:02:37 <TrueBrain> (it really is stable btw, that "" was not to insult the stableness)
21:02:52 <glx> stability is nice, but sometimes it's too much
21:03:09 <TrueBrain> it reminds me of those server-graphs, of which one was "uptime"
21:03:14 <TrueBrain> in early 2000 that was common
21:03:20 <TrueBrain> my server is up for 3 years now!
21:03:23 <TrueBrain> like .... not something to be happy about
21:03:40 <TrueBrain> CentOS feels like that for me :)
21:03:40 <frosch123> TrueBrain: i would have less issues with it, if people would use it only for servers without frontend
21:03:51 <TrueBrain> wait, CentOS has another market ?
21:03:57 <TrueBrain> I thought it was only for servers :P
21:04:00 <frosch123> but for some reason companies get the idea that software should be developed on desktops using the same os version as the servers
21:04:13 <frosch123> and there is probably no worse choice than centos for a desktop
21:04:33 <TrueBrain> well, I am slowly looking around what my new challenge in life is going to be, and I would hate to find myself joining such company :p
21:04:36 <frosch123> (rhel on customer servers, centos in-house)
21:04:41 <TrueBrain> I should make a list of questions which makes them go: WTF DUDE?!
21:05:01 <TrueBrain> "Which OS do your workstations use?"
21:05:04 <frosch123> TrueBrain: do you want the job at that insurance company that i declined?
21:05:06 <TrueBrain> sounds like a good question to ask :D
21:05:16 <TrueBrain> :D I don't want your seconds :P
21:05:23 <frosch123> it's well payed, you only have to work 2 hours a day, and pretend the other 6
21:05:32 <TrueBrain> is it that bad? Haha :)
21:06:10 <TrueBrain> I am honestly really annoyed by the amount of places you can apply to ... in the range I am looking for (km away from home, salary, role), there are over 300 jobs I can apply to
21:06:13 <TrueBrain> like .. this is insane
21:06:15 <frosch123> they were a team of 8 who maintained their in-house insurance management, written in pl1, running on ibm mainframe
21:06:25 <frosch123> (i went there for the lolz, just to have seen it)
21:06:29 <TrueBrain> AS/400? Riigggghhhhhttttt
21:06:46 <TrueBrain> walk .. away .... slowly ... :D
21:06:59 <frosch123> but as i discovered: the whole thing is probably less complex than bananas. you can probably rewrite everything in 6 months in python, and make those 8 fools unemployed
21:07:29 <TrueBrain> and quit right after
21:08:04 <frosch123> i expected some things when i accepted the interview invitation :) but i did not expect them to do almost nothing
21:08:30 <TrueBrain> as long as everyone joins that doing nothing, it is pretty self sustaining :)
21:08:34 <TrueBrain> I really could not work there ...
21:08:40 <TrueBrain> like .. I would be really annoyed every fucking single day
21:08:43 <frosch123> i kept asking them, what makes their software complex
21:09:09 <frosch123> and their answer was: we have to support all insurance policies that ever existed. but that turned out to be about 20
21:10:05 <TrueBrain> well, I know insurance shit is complex
21:10:12 <TrueBrain> but ... 8 FTE complex?
21:10:43 <frosch123> no, it's not complex. it's just that they are all hobby programmers, using tools from 40 years ago
21:11:30 <frosch123> their biggest fear is the december of every year. because then they have to process the annual letters to everyone
21:12:09 <frosch123> oh, i forgot to mention: i would have been the youngest in the team :p
21:12:43 <TrueBrain> yeah, I can see that
21:12:46 <TrueBrain> that explains a lot
21:12:56 <TrueBrain> you are, what, 50 now; so yeah, that makes sense :P
21:13:05 <TrueBrain> (sorry, I had to make an insult to someone this hour; it was too long)
21:13:53 <frosch123> when i am 50, you are 49
21:14:02 <TrueBrain> dammit :( It came right back at me! :P
21:14:14 <TrueBrain> did you had to lookup my age first? :D
21:14:26 <frosch123> yes, i only know rb's by heart
21:14:34 <TrueBrain> about the same, all I know
21:14:45 <TrueBrain> all our oldies are from around the same age :P
21:15:33 <frosch123> usually the birthyear is a random number. but in case of rb it had meaning
21:15:46 <TrueBrain> same as yours, I assume? :D
21:16:10 <frosch123> no, so you do not know rb's year?
21:16:15 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd

21:16:49 <Samu> on Dependencies, it asks for an Id
21:17:01 <TrueBrain> haha, okay, I would NOT have made that connection
21:17:04 <TrueBrain> that is sweet frosch123 :D
21:17:17 <Samu> ai-library/5343504c/e1940278
21:17:37 <frosch123> well, rb pointed that out somewhen. since then i know the element number of rb
21:18:21 <frosch123> those two things hold together. i would have forgotten each one, if they had not been connected :)
21:18:47 <frosch123> oh, it's the Element weight, not the element number

21:21:18 <andythenorth> why do people need jobs so much? :P
21:21:22 <frosch123> yeah, yexo vanished right away, when the new job started
21:21:34 <TrueBrain> new jobs tend to do that with you
21:21:47 <TrueBrain> this is why I am resisting finding one :D :D :D
21:22:37 <TrueBrain> it really is too bad that it is hard to make money in Open Source, honestly
21:22:43 <andythenorth> it would be less fun if it was work, right?

21:22:51 <andythenorth> like the factorio lead who got totally burnt out
21:23:05 <Samu> nevermind, I figured it out
21:23:06 <andythenorth> factorio, mashinsky etc have made businesses out of it
21:23:11 <andythenorth> but that's.....work
21:23:19 <TrueBrain> and not Open Source :P

21:24:15 <TrueBrain> "Open Source" you mean :)
21:24:44 <andythenorth> more speech quotes
21:24:54 <TrueBrain> owh well, in IT, it is more like: get a job that pays well, retire early, right? :)
21:26:33 <TrueBrain> all energy companies in The Netherlands are looking for Architects
21:26:39 <TrueBrain> and one thing that stands out

21:27:53 <TrueBrain> and our main grid supplier
21:27:57 <TrueBrain> they all have job openings
21:28:04 <TrueBrain> booming business, it seems
21:28:26 <andythenorth> domestic suppliers, wind suppliers
21:28:35 <TrueBrain> like, I found 4 of them on the first page of a joblisting site ..
21:28:45 * andythenorth knows where there's a sec ops job :P
21:28:58 <TrueBrain> nobody wants to work outside the EU andythenorth :)
21:29:23 <frosch123> well, if a company has many job offerings, that means it's a bad company, that noone wants to join, and many quit
21:29:37 <frosch123> "too many open positions" is a bad sign
21:29:40 <TrueBrain> sometimes it just means they are expanding :)
21:29:52 <TrueBrain> but it is not that 1 company has many job openings
21:30:02 <TrueBrain> no, all the energy companies have job openings for architects :)
21:30:12 <TrueBrain> I think "all" is fair .. found 5 now :)
21:30:18 <frosch123> when i was searching, i also crossed every company from the list, that was looking for people with skills in blockchain :p
21:30:29 <andythenorth> sometimes it's just expansion

21:30:40 <andythenorth> are we on the blockchain yet?
21:31:03 <frosch123> "blockchain" is code for "out managemant has no clue"

21:32:14 <andythenorth> don't seem like a terrible idea
21:32:25 <andythenorth> except...if you rewrite the history
21:32:56 <TrueBrain> if you have a great pitch, a good way to make a lot of money
21:33:01 <andythenorth> remarkable story
21:33:27 <andythenorth> oh does he just precompute them all, then store a key in 8KB?
21:33:44 <TrueBrain> he just never did it, at all
21:33:53 <TrueBrain> don't overthink this :D
21:34:06 <andythenorth> BUT I WANT IT TO BE TRUE
21:34:20 <TrueBrain> well, you can encode 256 movies in a single byte
21:34:20 <andythenorth> then we can have streaming movies and stuff
21:34:24 <TrueBrain> that is not a problem AT ALL
21:34:32 <TrueBrain> so you have that, if you like
21:34:34 <andythenorth> then we could have grfs with movies playing
21:35:14 <TrueBrain> so many job offerings are behind a recruitment agency
21:35:21 <TrueBrain> tell me who you are, or get out
21:35:25 <TrueBrain> owh, lol, this is funny
21:35:37 <TrueBrain> Are you able to create a solid architecture of complex financial products using blockchain technologies? Can you survive in Amazon Web Services and/or Google Cloud Platforms? Please read further since we have a great opportunity for an experienced Blockchain Architect.
21:35:59 <TrueBrain> it is even a legit one :)
21:36:00 <TrueBrain> In this role you develop groundbreaking products from scratch. It is important that you have senior knowledge of Ethereum/Solidity, including demonstratable NFT implementations. You can create a solid architecture of complex financial products using blockchain technologies based on cloud environments connected to common backend technologies.
21:36:21 <TrueBrain> Our client is a ground breaking start-up in the blockchain community with a unique and game changing proposition. The company is currently now working with many freelancers but has the ambition to grow with permanent staff since their workload keeps growing.
21:36:22 <TrueBrain> The team is mixed with different genders, ages and ethnicities; everyone is welcome as long as you are qualified in your field and have experience in the blockchain world. The head quarter is based in the Utrecht region.
21:36:33 <TrueBrain> how cute .. startup looking for people ..
21:36:39 <TrueBrain> what, they want you to work for free for the first year?
21:36:45 <TrueBrain> AS THERE IS MUCH MONEY IF THEIR IDEA WORKS
21:37:07 <TrueBrain> Possibility to have tokens <- they are selling it now!
21:37:23 <TrueBrain> Vacation money <- OMG! They do the BARE MINIMUM mandatory by law! OMG! HOW NICE OF THEM
21:37:40 <FLHerne> Why stop at scamming the public when you can also scam your employees?
21:37:57 <TrueBrain> haha, I thought it was legit
21:38:02 <TrueBrain> turns out this too is a lot of hot air :)
21:38:07 <andythenorth> I would see the lolz
21:38:11 <andythenorth> but it's all so weird
21:38:24 <andythenorth> twitter tells me nobody can get into the industry without a lot of life privilege
21:38:27 <glx> "ground breaking startup" <-- vaporware for me
21:38:31 <andythenorth> and everybody I know can't hire
21:39:22 <TrueBrain> andythenorth: well, as mentioned earlier .. in my bracket alone are 300+ job openings .. it is also very hard to find people at all
21:40:26 <frosch123> TrueBrain: you should take an interview at a smaller company
21:40:52 <TrueBrain> I tend to find jobs at small companies :)
21:40:56 <frosch123> it's weird to have more experience in job interviews than the interviewer

21:42:34 <frosch123> TrueBrain: job interviews can be fun, just go to them, just to confirm your first opinion
21:42:41 <andythenorth> it's all remote now anyway
21:42:46 <_dp_> wait, some blockchain startups are still not dead yet?
21:42:59 <TrueBrain> well, currently I just have the issue that there are too many, and picking any is because of that rather hard :D
21:43:07 <TrueBrain> new batch, I am afraid :P
21:43:25 <andythenorth> offer paid OpenTTD support :P
21:43:36 <TrueBrain> profit goes to my pockets!
21:43:47 <TrueBrain> (fuck no, btw, just to be clear)
21:43:56 <andythenorth> I think the lolz would wear off
21:44:01 <andythenorth> after you get paged a few times
21:44:09 <TrueBrain> pretty used to that, honestly :)
21:44:14 <TrueBrain> drives you to make sure it never goes down ;)
21:44:26 <TrueBrain> I had my 0100 calls to get in a car and drive 30km to a datacenter
21:44:40 <TrueBrain> to unplug and replug a server
21:44:59 <andythenorth> customer DNS is the least lolz of the pages
21:45:19 * _dp_ was quite surprised when I glanced over the irc window and saw "blockchain"
21:45:20 <andythenorth> nothing we can do but someone has to get paged because site is down
21:45:22 <TrueBrain> nice work on the coding style milek7 !
21:45:39 <TrueBrain> wait, we are not going to add blockchain to OpenTTD?
21:45:43 <TrueBrain> but how do we know you are you if we do not?
21:46:18 <TrueBrain> right, enough bullshit for 1 evening .. I did exactly nothing, which was nice
21:46:18 <andythenorth> we could put all the vehicles on a blockchain
21:46:35 <andythenorth> game state via proof-of-work
21:46:45 <andythenorth> might hurt the FPS
21:51:29 <Xaroth> Curious, if I were to rename a string in english.txt, does that need fixing in the other languages as well? or will eints be smart about that and pick that up?

21:52:22 *** Samu has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
21:56:39 <frosch123> Xaroth: the STR_xyz is the identifier. if you remove one from english, eints will delete it from the other languages
21:56:57 <Xaroth> How about renaming, frosch123?
21:56:58 <frosch123> eints does not try to detect renaming STR_x ro STR_y
21:57:08 <frosch123> it will delete all STR_x
21:57:39 <Xaroth> does eints pick it up if I rename them in all languages?
21:57:48 <Xaroth> or will that have no use?
21:58:02 <DorpsGek> [OpenTTD/OpenTTD] Milek7 updated pull request #8391: RFC: Feature: Public key company authorization https://git.io/JLnig
21:58:02 <frosch123> yes, but it will be a "delete x, add y". so "y" will be a new string
21:58:10 <frosch123> "old translations" will be forgotten

23:02:17 <LordAro> Xaroth: i'd prefer candyfloss over cotton candy
23:02:28 <LordAro> cotton candy is disturbingly... american
23:03:35 <LordAro> Xaroth: also, if i wanted to be super anally retentive, i'd say the renaming should be in separate commit
23:05:05 *** gelignite has quit IRC (Quit: Stay safe! Stay at home! Stop the chain reaction!)
23:06:18 <Xaroth> The renaming of all other languages is in a separate commit
23:06:29 <Xaroth> I tried to keep the commits.. build-able
23:07:34 <Xaroth> but that said, if the consensus is to use another name, that's easily doable :P
