| 09:51 | | * McMartin emails a 10-line BASIC program to a dude in Boston so that he might experimentally determine some facts about the sound chip on the VIC-20. |
| 09:51 | | * McMartin leads a strange life for a hobby programmer. |
| 09:51 | <@froztbyte> | heh |
| 09:51 | <@froztbyte> | a friend of mine fixes pinball machines |
| 09:52 | <@froztbyte> | and does various kinds of similar things with low-end sound boards, putting modern hax into them, rebuilding dead circuits, etc |
| 09:52 | <&McMartin> | Yeah |
| 09:52 | <@froztbyte> | well, I say "fixes pinball machines" a bit loosely, that's just one of the things |
| 09:52 | <&McMartin> | If my theory is correct, based on what he's seen and what I can make happen in emulators, this was a botch by CBM, even for 1980 |
| 09:53 | <@froztbyte> | haha |
| 09:53 | <&McMartin> | It's a three-voice square wave generator, and it's got a master volume control. |
| 09:53 | <&McMartin> | But if you set the volume at max, *any given voice consumes the entire DAC's range* |
| 09:54 | <&McMartin> | So you get clipping, *with square waves*, if you turn on more than one voice. |
| 09:54 | <@froztbyte> | lulz |
| 09:55 | <&McMartin> | (Said 10-line program sets up a nice major C-E-G chord, and then slowly cranks the volume) |
| 09:55 | <@froztbyte> | heh |

| 22:03 | <&McMartin> | Graham Nelson writes self-hosting literate Perl programs. |
| 22:52 | <&McMartin> | (He actually does. http://inform7.com/sources/inweb/) |
| 22:54 | < AnnoDomini> | Are they to be our new overlords? |
| 23:10 | <&McMartin> | Ugh, some of these files I imported have incorrect line endings. |
| 23:10 | | * McMartin wrecks all his diffs/blames in fixing that. |
| 23:25 | <@Tarinaky> | So. I'm going to be honest. I'm not seeing a lot of programmer jobs that line up with anything I've actually done as part of my degree. |
| 23:25 | <@Tarinaky> | I don't own a smartphone, and as such know nothing about movile dev. |
| 23:25 | <@Tarinaky> | I hate web dev. |
| 23:25 | <@Tarinaky> | So I'm not entirely sure what that leaves :/ |
| 23:30 | <@Tamber> | Legacy |
| 23:31 | <@Tarinaky> | Well above my pay expectations. |
| 23:44 | <&McMartin> | The desktop space isn't completely dead. |
| 23:44 | <&McMartin> | Shrink-wrap boxed software, maybe, but that's a subset. |
| 23:45 | <@Tarinaky> | I don't have any commercial experience but my personal experience with software is pretty much limited to the shrink-wrap boxed software space, more or less. |
| 23:45 | <@Tamber> | Butbutbut, ${SOFTWARE_CO_MANAGEMENT_MAGAZINE} said the desktop is dead and that Glorious Mobile Will Lead the Way Into the Shining Future! |
| 23:46 | <@Tamber> | ...and, after that, Glorious WebApps. |
| 23:46 | <@Tarinaky> | I'd have researched mobile development but I couldn't find a smartphone in my price-range. |
| 23:46 | <@Tamber> | etc. |
| 23:46 | <&McMartin> | And he said that while his office hummed along with a variety of information technology systems that run on desktops or in back offices. |
| 23:46 | <&McMartin> | There is, admittedly, a lot less light between "backoffice software the user actually deals with" and "web app" these days. |
| 23:47 | <&McMartin> | (In that a desktop app will probably be using HTTP or HTTPS to communicate with the back office, and the "web app" part is just another front end for that) |
| 23:48 | <@Tamber> | Which is a jolly good idea, since you're not tied to a single vendor's client platform, as the web browser is uniâ¦*INTERNET EXPLORER 6 REQUIRED TO VIEW THE REST OF THIS TEXT* |
