06:27:09	speachy	scorche: the main argument against shutting it down is to prevent it from getting hijacked, but there are still more folks in the old channels. I wouldn't want genuine inquiries/etc to end up in a place where nobody's paying attention any more.
06:28:07	speachy	I did put in a registration request but no positive acknowledgement from that yet. But I understand there's still a bit backlog, so it's nbd.
06:29:14	speachy	oh, yuck.
06:31:26	speachy	they came back overnight, but want to verify "ownership" via a DNS record.

07:33:44	mendel_munkis	does anyone here have any strong opinions on the answer to 0^0?
07:36:43	speachy	there is only one correct answer to that.
07:38:13	speachy	anything ^0 is 1. though my old TI86 kicks back a 'domain error'
07:38:21	mendel_munkis	not according to ##math and wikipedia
07:38:32	mendel_munkis	0^ anything is 0
07:54:38		Join cockroach [0] (~blattodea@user/cockroach)
07:55:51	speachy	perl returns 1 fwiw
07:58:37	braewoods	one rule says 1. but 0 times anything is also 0. so.
07:58:47	braewoods	it may be undefined due to this contradiction.
08:00
08:00:04	speachy	braewoods: hence my TI Calculator tossing an exception
08:00:29	braewoods	speachy: yea but oddly enough no PL seems to mind and just returns 1
08:00:40	braewoods	bc does this, php, ...
08:00:58	_bilgus	my TI-86 is my most favorite possession
08:01:02	mendel_munkis	not wolfram alpha however
08:01:13	speachy	NCalc+ throws an "inderminate" exception too.
08:01:39	braewoods	i can't see this mattering most of the time honetly
08:01:44	braewoods	unlike division by 0
08:01:55	mendel_munkis	##math basically said you can use div by 0, undefined, 0, or 1 whichever is best for the use case.
08:01:58	braewoods	most people don't use 0 as a base
08:02:27	braewoods	or use 0 as an exponent
08:02:37	braewoods	so them both occurring at the same time is unlikely
08:03:01	braewoods	seems mostly a thought experiment
08:03:08	mendel_munkis	yes, but I need to special case it regardless to avoid a crash, one I am ddoing so I may as well do it right
08:03:08	speachy	0 as the exponent has legit uses, but 0^0 is, mathematically, nonsense.
08:03:47	braewoods	i'm sure it does speachy but i've never seen it used like this since it wouldn't produce anything useful

18:25:35	hombrelaser	Hello! I'm planning on installing an iFlash Quad on my iPod video. I read on the forums that rockbox's support of the iflash adapters wasn't really the best. Has this changed? How's your experience with using rockbox on a modded ipod?
18:27:45	braewoods	hombrelaser: supposedly it's been fixed in current builds
18:32:11	hombrelaser	So do you recommend me to install nightly builds?
18:32:48	hombrelaser	I'll try it out, iflash is still on shipping, and it'll arrive presumely between june 20th and july something.
18:38:38		Join TorC [0] (~Tor@user/torc)
18:40:48	speachy	hombrelaser: don't bother with 3.15, use the latest nightly and you should be fine.
18:42:41	hombrelaser	Will do. How "unstable" can it really be?
18:43:19	speachy	it's not like we have a formal QA cycle besides "nobody's reported any major issues with it"
18:44:36	hombrelaser	that's good to hear
18:45:09	hombrelaser	I can't wait, really enjoyed my iPod with rockbox when I used it, but then the battery died and the hard drive isn't cutting it anymore.

18:59:56	braewoods	hombrelaser: and if those don't work there's also the option for CF mod.
19:00
19:03:25	hombrelaser	Oh I hope it works then. 50 punds more don't come cheap
19:03:34	hombrelaser	Not in my country anyway

19:48:47	dconrad	_bilgus, did you ever get a chance to investigate the USB/get_action() stuff?
19:49:20	dconrad	I uploaded a compromise workaround to g#3425 if not
19:49:22	rb-bluebot_	Gerrit review #3425 at https://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/c/rockbox/+/3425 : Yes/No Screen: Allow accept to be button release by Dana Conrad

19:57:23	rb-bluebot_	Gerrit review #3436 at https://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/c/rockbox/+/3436 : Make Softlock-anywhere define-based feature by Dana Conrad
20:00
20:16:48	dconrad	I should have include 3436 as part of the main patch, but I didn't even think of it until today
20:24:37	***	Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
20:27:16		Quit speachy (Quit: WeeChat 3.0.1)
20:47:26	_bilgus	dconrad, no I haven't yet I've barely worked on my other things TBH
20:48:44	_bilgus	now why isn't the better workaround to use the previous behavior what does the release event get us ATM if you'd refresh my memory
20:49:41	_bilgus	personally I'd rather you wrap up he good stuff out of that and leave the remap and work around in another patch
20:50:34	dconrad	the release event is honestly just because I think it's nicer to use
20:50:53	dconrad	I thought it would be an easy change when I started
20:51:13	_bilgus	for sure rabbit holes
20:51:38	_bilgus	we know some of the patch is good code that we shouldn't need to fix
20:51:40	dconrad	but I ran into the bug where usb causes it to just ignore events for some reason
20:51:53	dconrad	yeah I can break it into two if that's better
20:52:14	_bilgus	but I really hate findingand reverting workarounds rather than fixing the underlying problem
20:52:35	dconrad	it just seemed like it was going to be a really nuanced issue to find
20:52:57	dconrad	and it's like... well it's this one condition of a feature few people probably use anywya...
20:53:00	dconrad	anyway*
20:53:15	_bilgus	please do I'll push the first part today and get to the other as I have time or feel free to investigate further
20:53:32	dconrad	alright
20:55:27	dconrad	hm, if I remove it from the current patch and then make a new commit to the same branch and push, will that do what I want?
20:55:38	dconrad	easy enough to try, I suppose
20:57:11	_bilgus	maybe
20:57:46	_bilgus	sometimes I get an error about squash vs merge or something
20:58:04	_bilgus	but I think that was before I started using git-review
21:00
21:00:53	dconrad	ok, I'm going to push and we'll see what happens
21:01:41	dconrad	yeah, that worked ok
21:02:12	dconrad	g#3437 is the workaround
