You can do ssycalls in Linux without using libc right?
09:37
<&[R]>
https://hero.handmade.network/forums/code-discussion/t/861-compiling_without_libc_on_linux <-- seems so
09:42
<&McMartin>
You can
09:42
<&McMartin>
But the syscall API/ABI (kind of the same thing, at that level) is explicitly less stable than the function call ABI
09:43
<&McMartin>
It's safer on Windows, where "syscalls" *all* end up appearing like function calls (C in x64, Pascal in Win32).
09:43
<&McMartin>
There you just have to worry about your runtime adding extra calls to C runtime functions behind your back.
09:44
<&McMartin>
The Handmade Network is an entertaining little enclave. I check in on them now and again, and some of their disciplines are helpful when I'm doing stuff.
09:45
<&McMartin>
(Indeed, they're the ones who got me the rest of the way to "no libc" on Windows, which let me get my Win32 CCA program down to like 12KB)
09:48 * Vorntastic needs to learn how to write a proper paper.
09:48
<&McMartin>
[R]: If you have not read the four main articles of https://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/tiny/ they are a fabulous read
09:48
<&[R]>
Thanks
09:51
<&McMartin>
(The first of the four articles is extremely famous and there is a good chance it may have already crossed your desk.)
09:51
<&McMartin>
Vorntastic: Would this be for an AMS journal or an ACM one?
09:52
<&McMartin>
(That is, do you think this is mathematical research or computer science research)
09:52
<~Vorntastic>
I have no idea
09:52
<&McMartin>
https://www.ams.org/arc/journals/index.html is a start for the AMS one...
09:52
<~Vorntastic>
I think it's closer to comp sci
09:53
<&McMartin>
And then ACM's is https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/information-for-authors
09:53
<&McMartin>
Both of them are basically "yeah, you will need to be using LaTeX, here are some document format files to start with"

09:56
<&McMartin>
Looking at their list of publications, the Transactions on Mathematical Software and the Transactions on Graphics both seem plausible
09:57
<&McMartin>
Meanwhile, *I* need to learn how to write a paper in the *humanities*
09:59
<&McMartin>
That also said, the last time I wrote a CS paper that I'm actually proud of was in 2005
10:06
<&McMartin>
So a first step also if preparing something for publication in a particular place is "actually look at the journal itself and see what it does"
10:12
<~Vorntastic>
Right now I need to organize my notes at all and figure out what I need to talk about, rewrite this in a language where I need to build less basic shit myself, find the things I looked at, etc etc
10:13
<~Vorntastic>
Oh and turn my drawings into computer versions
10:15
<&McMartin>
The paper won't include code. It will be a description of the techniques.
10:15
<&McMartin>
Code is for Github and appearing in a footnote if that, and academic code is *terrible* >_<

TIL: bash can iterate all variables it has
12:03
<&[R]>
Well, sort of
12:03
<&[R]>
`echo "${!W*}"` Will print all variable names that start with W
12:03
<&[R]>
${!*} is a curious error

I wish CS papers actually included code. Or a link to code.
14:56
<&jeroud>
The two or three times I've tried to implement something from a paper I've always run into difficulties with bits that are poorly specified.
14:58
<~Vornicus>
Which is at least in part one thing I want to deal with.

From yesterday, Python lets you override `__getattr__`, in Ruby it's `method_missing`. They both do effectively the same thing, given that everything on a Ruby object is a method.

jeroud: one option is to contact the authors (although yes, you shouldn't need to)
16:46
<&jeroud>
Yeah, but that's more human interaction than want.
