| f00li5h | perlygatekeeper: nice. |
| dhar | i dont even understand all of the algorithms, it was written in BASIC and I had to port it to java, then to Perl |
| PerlJam | dhar: well, if you don't already think like a mathematician or engineer, you may not want to bother. |
| perlygatekeeper | OK I'm freaking out here |
| dhar | PerlJam: math is not my strong suit to be sure |
| perlygatekeeper | mv dir1/ dir2/ |
| dhar | rindolf: i think your slides are broken |
| rindolf | dhar: why? |
| dhar | rindolf: on that presentation, I get no images |
| rindolf | dhar: there aren't any. :-( I should add some but I'm too lazy. |
| dhar | well I'm certainly missing something then, because all I see is the page topic and links to next/previous/ and index |
| perlygatekeeper | I want to move dir1 under dir2 but I get "mv: dir1 is a directory" |
| dhar | not very helpful :) |
| perlygatekeeper | now cp usually complains |
| xand | perlygatekeeper: is that perl? |
| perlygatekeeper | no it's tcsh, |
| xand | or in your shell... |
| perlygatekeeper | in my shell |
| rindolf | perlygatekeeper: mv dir1 dir2/ perlygatekeeper: without the trailing / in dir1 perlygatekeeper: and pleaze be usink bash or zsh. perlbot: csh |
| perlbot | csh considered harmful: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/shell/csh-whynot (also: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-il%40cs.huji.ac.il/msg44728.html ) |
| dhar | rindolf: nm, i see some text in the later slides, just not "The Problem" and the first fiew of them |
| perlygatekeeper | I get the same message in bash |
| Randal | harm considered harmful |
| perlygatekeeper | and stop trying to convert me |
| Randal | are dir1 and dir2 on the same disk? if not, then mv rightfully complains |
| l1s | :D |
| perlygatekeeper | I script in perl, tcsh is my interactive shell |
| dhar | rindolf: , PerlJam: so, lets say I don't want or am not able to grok PDL today but I already know how to port the math to C.. would SWIG induce any overhead that would negate the expected speed boost? Or would it just be a myth that a compiled C version of the equation would run any faster than the perl version of it? |
| don_j | if I want to make a crawler to wget any browser request triggered by eg. firefox opening a website would I then have to run firefox and tcpdump from my script? |
| perlygatekeeper | Randal, yesw yes same disk |
| rindolf | perlygatekeeper: I be tryink to convert you to the shell of Allah because Muhhamad himself has said so! |
| perlygatekeeper | it's simply got to rename the damn thing |
