I won't be present as much as usual in the next few days. In an hour, I go to Paris. Tomorrow is the defense of Jim Newton. I'll be back Wednesday late afternoon. But when I have wifi and I am not busy, I'll be here. And I'll check the logs.

Interesting and well written paper, hopefully it goes well for him.

The trip went well. The train was on schedule.
15:36:44
beach
The train is pretty impressive these days. Bordeaux - Paris in 2 hours. The distance is 600km.
15:37:00
beach
And there is pretty much one train every hour.

I need to get a new laptop and install a new operating system on it.
15:45:54
beach
This one is too slow now. And it's 32 bits, so I can't work on SICL on it
15:46:19
beach
Furthermore, it has only VGA output, so I am sometimes unable to use it for my presentations.
15:46:51
beach
But I like it, because it can be unfolded and worked on comfortably in an airplane seat.
15:47:10
beach
I guess I just won't work in airplanes.

shka_
beach: why can't you buy some 12 inch business laptop?
15:49:18
shka_
if you want to save money, used machines in prestine condition are very affordable
15:49:40
beach
I don't need to save money. I need to save time and energy (mine).
15:52:22
shka_
beach: i like 12 inch thinkpad machines
15:53:04
shka_
i think that such laptop would be suitable for you as well
15:53:25
beach
You may very well be right.
15:53:51

beach: wow, that's impressive (the train)
15:54:04

makomo: That's France for you.

well, sounds more like china nowdays ;)
15:55:46
shka_
in past few years China build more fast railway then the rest of the world combined
15:56:03
shka_
some when you are in the fast train, statistically you are likely in china ;-)
15:57:59
beach
shka_: You know perfectly well that China does everything more than everybody else, simply because their population is absolutely huge.
15:58:33
beach
shka_: I would like to see how many new km of fast train line PER CAPITA the have built.
15:58:59
shka_
in case of kilometers of railway it may be wrong measure
15:59:16
shka_
it would be more suitable to compare it to china total area
15:59:30
beach
Maybe so, but whatever the right measure it, it should be divided by the population.
15:59:48
shka_
but what impresses me is rapid construction of those
15:59:54
beach
Area might be important too.
16:00:18
shka_
so i have to admit, they can build stuff FAST
16:05:00

i'm more impressed with energy-efficient, safe, reliable, durable, transparently operated, corruption-free, human-rights-respecting projects rather than fast ones (not saying those are more common in Europe)
16:05:39
shka_
scymtym: yeah, also, since you are here, which branch of flamegraph i should use?
16:07:00
scymtym
i probably haven't push everything, but some of it depends on cutting edge mcclim or it might crash the X server, so i might wait a bit longer
16:07:24
shka_
scymtym: it seems to me that few functions are still missing in sbcl, even though i am using recent version of it
16:08:03
scymtym
shka_: do you have a specific example?
16:08:28
shka_
hm, gimme a minute, i will generate it
16:12:32
shka_
scymtym: ok, so when i click on any bar in the flamegraph, i am told that function SELECTION-INTERVAL is undefined
16:14:07
scymtym
shka_: that is not SBCL-related, it's just a bug. for now, right click and choose "zoom"
16:14:25
scymtym
i pushed a few safe changes to the future branch
16:14:33
shka_
should i report this bug on github?
16:14:39
shka_
or there is no such need?
16:14:50
scymtym
no, i'm going to start over at some point
16:15:09
scymtym
that said, i can fix the bug, i think
16:15:45
shka_
i just wanted you to know
16:16:34
shka_
scymtym: how can i unzoom once i zoom in?
