< AnnoDomini>
How important is the voltage rating for capacitors? Is it just the not-blowing-up rating or will installing a 25V capacitor of the same capacity instead of a 16V one break something?
14:03
< AnnoDomini>
Also, difference between elecrolytic and ceramic?
14:06
< RichyB>
It's the not-blowing-up rating
14:07
< RichyB>
if you exceed the voltage that the capacitor can survive (which hopefully will be somewhere above what it's rated for, but no guarantees) then it will IIRC stop being a capacitor and start being a wire or a resistor (can't remember which).

<@gnolam>
AnnoDomini: not-blowing-up, as RichyB said.
14:28
<@gnolam>
But you can pick higher capacitance capacitors and connect them in serial.
14:29
< AnnoDomini>
Oh? Is there something like the equivalent resistor for capacitors?
14:30
<@gnolam>
Yep.
14:30
<@gnolam>
Except the parallel/serial thing is exactly the other way around for capacitance compared to resistance. :)
14:36
<@gnolam>
I.e. C_eq = C1 + C2 for parallel capacitors, and 1/C_eq = 1/C1 + 1/C2 for serial capacitors.
14:39
<@gnolam>
And if you apply a voltage V over n capacitors of equal capacitance connected in series, the voltage over each capactor will be V/n.
14:40
<@gnolam>
So e.g. two 20 µF 5 V capacitors connected in series will be equivalent to one 10 µF 10 V capacitor.
14:43
< AnnoDomini>
That's a neat thing to know. I'll know I can use non-specific capacitors next time.

< RichyB>
Java's networking libraries are such an all-pervading clusterfuck that they spring forth from the authors of Java programs to attack the users of Java programs
16:07
< RichyB>
why
16:08
<@Tarinaky>
Have you seen the average Java programmer?
16:08
< RichyB>
the fuck why did all these apparently-clever people at Sun microsystems spend SO MUCH EFFORT on adding extra problems that don't exist in the underlying BSD sockets API?
16:08
<@Tarinaky>
Because it needs to run on stuff that doesn't have BSD sockets?
16:09
<@TheWatcher>
:javagonk:
16:10
< RichyB>
That cannot be it.
16:10
< RichyB>
Even ancient shit like WinSock supports a variant of BSD sockets.
16:10
< RichyB>
The BSD sockets API is older than me.
16:12
< RichyB>
(Windows' sockets API is pretty much identical to BSD sockets too, fwiw, in a charming instance of MS getting stuff right.)
16:13
<@TheWatcher>
Because the standard java library was apparently designed and developed by horrors from beyond who realised that making something so byzantine, ridiculously overcomplicated, and outright rage-inducing created etheral channels through which they could sap the very soul of the programmers using it.
16:14
< RichyB>
TheWatcher, dammit why do you have to be correct ;_;
16:14
< ErikMesoy>
There's a library you can use to prevent that. </obvious joke>
16:25
<@Tarinaky>
RichyB: I am convinced there must be some Java enabled platform out there that doesn't have a BSD interface or that interface is, or was, in some way deficient.
16:25
<@Tarinaky>
I mean, their slogan was run /everywhere/.
16:34
<@froztbyte>
twisted's not a piece of shit, and it runs on most of the same kind of things as java does
16:34
<@froztbyte>
so I don't think that line of reasoning is valid
16:34
<@froztbyte>
there's presumably a couple of others which would hold too
16:35
< jonathanj>
almost everything written for Java is overengineered trash, it seems to be a requirement
16:35
< jonathanj>
or at least an unwritten law
16:52
< simon>
written for java or in java?
16:53
<@TheWatcher>
First one, then the other~
16:53 Turaiel[Offline] [Brandon@Nightstar-vku52k.resnet.mtu.edu] has joined #code

< simon>
I have a course in systems design where we're forced to use Java. I really want to use Erlang, but I realize that I'll end up making the same systems, just with different syntax. even the primitives are almost identical.
16:53
<@TheWatcher>
...
16:54
< simon>
so I wouldn't blame the language on its own :)

I think most of the tutorials for Java stuff I've seen are aimed at the "If you're using Java, then Thou Shalt Be Enterprise-y." sort of level.
16:56
<@Tamber>
I'll admit, I've not looked terribly hard; because it bored me to tears within 5 minutes.
17:01
<&ToxicFrog>
That's not necessarily a problem.
17:01

17:02

17:02
<&ToxicFrog>
Ok I'm all synced up now. Hi!
17:03
<&ToxicFrog>
RichyB: I'm so sorry.
17:03
<&ToxicFrog>
simon: they let me take the distributed systems course in Erlang. It felt kind of like cheating.
17:04
< RichyB>
ToxicFrog, the doubly annoying thing is that I'm not even attempting to work in java
17:04
< RichyB>
I'm attempting to configure Puppet, which wants PuppetDB, which appears to be written in Clojure
17:04
<&ToxicFrog>
\o/
17:04
< RichyB>
which is great except that the damn thing bombs out on startup with an inscrutable stack trace
17:05
<&ToxicFrog>
/o\
17:05
<&ToxicFrog>
Clojure stack traces are easily the worst part of the language.
17:05
<&ToxicFrog>
I can take a look at it if you like.
17:06
< RichyB>
ooh mabe
17:06
< RichyB>
*maybe
17:06
<&ToxicFrog>
(with the caveat that I know nothing about puppet)
17:06
< RichyB>
If I don't get anywhere in the next, say, 20 minutes, I'll gist the vagrantfile and such that I'm using for this buildout
17:06 Turaiel[Offline] is now known as Turaiel

< RichyB>
I haven't gotten as far as caring about the puppet bit yet. Ironically, it seems to be working perfectly despite being written in Ruby. ;)
17:07
<@Tarinaky>
So. I now have a shortlist of three diss topics.
17:07
<@Tarinaky>
I didn't like the 3D visualisation stuff.
17:08
<@Tarinaky>
I spoke the with the RC helicopter aerobatics guy about UAVs and his using one to take aerial images of glaciers.
17:08
<@Tarinaky>
And there were two projects he suggested I could propose on my form, one to add an auto-abort to the flight plan that'd bring the uav home if batery was low (because of incliment wind conditions)
17:09
<@Tarinaky>
And the other was for an autonomous quadcopter landing mechanism.
17:09
<&ToxicFrog>
RichyB: wait, puppet needs puppetdb, but is working without it?
17:10
<&ToxicFrog>
As for clojure, the underlying problem is that the implementation is still very leaky when it fails, which means that compiler errors are complete trash and runtime exceptions will include lots of "incidental" frames from the implementation.
17:12
< RichyB>
ToxicFrog, puppet can do all kinds of useful things without a database backend, but it operates in a stateless fashion.
17:14
< RichyB>
You need to supply it with a DB backend if you want to configure things like feed a list of munin-nodes to a munin-master without having to double up by having both directions specified in an explicit list in your config.
17:15
< RichyB>
The supported DB backends are Rubby ActiveRecord and PuppetDB. ActiveRecord really ought to be the easy option because you can use it with SQLite, but it's officially deprecated and anyway fails with bizarre error messages. So I'm chasing the "recommended" set-upâ¦
17:15
< RichyB>
PuppetDB on the other hand appears to fail (hard) the "do the provided installation docs actually work?" test.
17:19
<&ToxicFrog>
Aah.
17:23
< RichyB>
on some level it's REALLY embarrassing that the halfassed Ruby program works
17:23
< RichyB>
but the supposedly static-type-safe Java program is a crashtastic hunk of crap
17:28
<&ToxicFrog>
If they aren't using core.typed there's no static typing in there
17:30
< RichyB>
Aha! Fixed it. Puppet's fault, not Java's.
17:31
< RichyB>
It interacts with /etc/resolv.conf in a really stupid way and generates wrong FQDNs all over the place.
17:31
< RichyB>
Override that and the server starts correctly.
17:40
<&ToxicFrog>
Aah.
17:44
< RichyB>
(we have "domain internal.teamrubber.com" in /etc/resolv.conf because internal DNS)
17:44
< RichyB>
(that leaks into my vagrant VMs' /etc/resolv.conf)
17:44
< RichyB>
(puppet then starts tacking '.internal.teamrubber.com' onto the end of the output of `hostname -f` when generating its default config files⦠fail.)
17:45
<@Tarinaky>
How do I blacklist a module in Ubuntu?
17:45
<@Tarinaky>
I don't want the soundcard to initialise when I boot.
17:46
< RichyB>
put a file in /etc/modprobe.d with the contents "blacklist <module-name>"
17:46
< RichyB>
you can find out which modules are currently loaded by running "lsmod"
17:47
< RichyB>
http://askubuntu.com/a/110343
17:48
<@Tarinaky>
Okay, thanks.
17:49
<@Tarinaky>
Is there a corresponding command to manually load a driver?
17:49
<@Tarinaky>
Err module
17:49
<@Tarinaky>
(Even if it's blacklisted)
17:50
< RichyB>
modprobe
17:50
< RichyB>
I believe that "modprobe <module-name>" does not check the blacklist
17:50
< RichyB>
if it does then I'm almost certain that "insmod" won't, but modprobe is friendlier than insmod
17:57
<&ToxicFrog>
RichyB, Tarinaky: modprobe ignores the blacklist by default. There is a --use-blacklist option for it that toggles that behaviour.
