| rindolf | aidanh: I've solved Project Euler #141 yesterday and learned a valuable lesson about excessive forking to processes and capturing their output. |
| Snake2k | rindolf: Indeed >_> |
| rindolf | Namely: it kills performance. |
| rindolf | Snake2k: where do you live? |
| Snake2k | rindolf: I need to start doing Project Euler again :| |
| rindolf | Snake2k: ah. |
| rindolf | Snake2k: we can become friends there. |
| Snake2k | rindolf: Northern Virginia, pretty much a mile or two away from D.C. |
| rindolf | Snake2k: ah. |
| Snake2k | rindolf: We can still be friends >_> |
| rindolf | Snake2k: heh. |
| rindolf | Snake2k: I don't friend Northern Virginians! |
| rindolf | Snake2k: ;-) |
| * Snake2k | does "gcc -Wall hug_rindolf.c -o hug --std=c11" |
| * Snake2k | does "./hug" |
| rindolf | Snake2k: southern virginians on the other hand... |
| * Snake2k | gets "Segmentation Fault (core dumped)" |
| Snake2k | rindolf: Why? :'( we're nice and shit :( |
| rindolf | Snake2k: heh, I'm just joking. |
| rindolf | Snake2k: I'm cool with Northern Virginians. |
| Twey | rindolf: ‘It kills performance’ — depends on your definition of ‘process’. POSIX processes are huge, but green threads in e.g. Haskell or Erlang are usually very cheap and can be used without much consideration. |
| * DarkCthulhu | has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) |
| rindolf | Twey: I Was talking about POSIX processes. |
| rindolf | Twey: I captured the output of "factor" for convenience, and it proved to be a major slowdown. |
| rindolf | Twey: ERLANG! Munctional! Parallelism! |
| Snake2k | rindolf: but you hurt ma feelz :'( |
| rindolf | Snake2k: heh. |
| Tawre | Snake2k, just commit violence against him |
| Tawre | it'll fix everything |
| Tawre | and if it doesn't you're not using enough violence |
| Snake2k | Tawre: good idea :| |
| * Snake2k | hugs the living rindolf out of rindolf |
| Myrl | I wonder if normal algebra would be fine with you using lambda functions. |
| * rindolf | sends 1e12 virtual kisses to Northern Virginia. |
| Myrl | Or curried functions. |
| * Tawre | kisses rindolf 0e13 times. |
| Myrl | guys get a room. |
| rindolf | Tawre: heh. |
| rindolf | Myrl: we got ##programming ! |
| Snake2k | this is getting weird... |
| rindolf | It's a chat-room! |
| Snake2k | I hug... I don't do virtual kisses... |
| * Snake2k | slithers away... |
| * Snake2k | is all creeped out and shit... |
| rindolf | s/kisses/hugs/ |
| Tawre | Snake2k, well, we can kill it "hugs" too if you want ;) |
| * Snake2k | slithers back |
| Snake2k | Tawre: <______________< |
| Twey | rindolf: ‘Parallelism’ — er… yeah. That's what you wanted :þ |
| Tawre | we can do parallel hugs too |
