Bob

Heh.

@OliverSalzburg The languages are designed to do a lot in few characters, but they're allowed because they're still general languages (not specialised for a specific problem)

Unit circle

In mathematics, a unit circle is a circle with a radius of one. Frequently, especially in trigonometry, the unit circle is the circle of radius one centered at the origin (0, 0) in the Cartesian coordinate system in the Euclidean plane. The unit circle is often denoted S1; the generalization to higher dimensions is the unit sphere. If (x, y) is a point on the unit circle, then |x| and |y| are the lengths of the legs of a right triangle whose hypotenuse has length 1. Thus, by the Pythagorean theorem, x and y satisfy the equation :x^2 + y^2 = 1. Since x² = (−x)² for all x, and sinc...

@gparyani: I mean, I'm aware of that question what about it?

Psycogeek

@gparyani I dont know but check by doing something different with your paging. Somewhere in the evolution of the systems the system would work on paging Out minimised programs, when this began to happen it was strange (to me) and seemed stupid. Mabey paging the program (parts and pieces) out when minimised has something to do with the problem?

gparyani

@Psycogeek Sorry, but I didn't quite get you.

@JourneymanGeek That's a summary of how to deploy RemoteApps.

@JourneymanGeek It also works on Windows 8 Enterprise, Windows Vista/7 Enterprise/Ultimate (and Windows XP Professional with an update)

Psycogeek

@gparyani Different Windows OSes paged different when a program was minimised. It also did it when it was totally unnessisary. Paged = sent stuff to virtual memory on disk to free up real virtual memory.

@gparyani Because i dont do VMs (ever), i wouldnt know what to tell you, and completly shutting off paging will have other things failing. But one possible attempt at testing would be to set the system with No paging to disk at all, and see if it reacted different.

Psycogeek

05:52

@gparyani The idea of changing how the "memory" (general) is with the older system , is also something i learned (the hard way) when trying to keep older systems. Win 98 for example could easily run on a new system, if you could reduce the percived memory in the hardware. otherwise it would fail miserably. With barely enough knowlege to survive , and some help from a real programmer, I got win98 and win95 booting and working on a modern system.

His program "eatmem" applied in the config.sys would set memory off to the side as if it was a driver (i think) and the system only saw so much, and then it went from failing terribly to working like it did before, but on way faster hardware, making it very very fast.

HackToHell

@JourneymanGeek ok :)

Psycogeek

For a while i was using the less featured win98se on new hardware, and realising (again) that they blew all the memory and the cpu out with all thier stupid new features :-) None of which were really nessisary to "work" or even play.

That is where i get the opinion that it doesnt matter how fast they make the Hardware systems, the programming will get big and sloppy, it will be loaded with features and cuteness, It will be more and more disconnected from that hardware, and relativly speaking we will have the same computer we had before.

Psycogeek

06:16

@JohnMerlino There are many different types of transisters, some of which switch to thier "on" position when a negative voltage is applied to the gate (relative to ground) . i belive that more mosfets (sort of a transister) and transisters applied in electronics are negative to go on. Then of course there is ones built another way that a postivie flow to the gate would allow flow through the thing.

@JohnMerlino So if they were making up this sytem of switching transister things, to move data , it could have been designed one way or another. and they picked a way ??? (i am not an EE so that is all i get).

@JohnMerlino There is a differerent explaining of it than the site you listed at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-232 in the voltages section, that may (or may not) also be helpfull.

Bob

@Psycogeek 'course, most transistors operate at about 3V (3.3V?), and 12V would fry them :P

Psycogeek

@JohnMerlino All this stuff , all over the computer are based on Tubes :-) err transisters, sooo this link too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistors Which i am again not saying i understand 2% of it.

Bob

> For long distance communication (a that doesn't have to be hundreds of meters) the 5 V UART is not very reliable, that's why it's converted to a higher voltage, typically +12 V for a "0" and -12 V for a "1". The data format remains the same. Then you have RS-232 (which you actually should call EIA-232, but nobody does.)

46

A: USART, UART, RS232, USB, SPI, I2C, TTL, etc. what are all of these and how do they relate to each other?

Serial is an umbrella word for all that is "Time Division Multiplexed", to use an expensive term. It means that the data is sent spread over time, most often one single bit after another. All the protocols you're naming are serial protocols. UART, for Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitte...

> RS-232 is a very simple serial protocol that was originally used for modems and teletypes. It is what is commonly called a serial port (or a COM port in MS-Windows). On the line it nominally uses ±12V levels, but they may vary widely as the detection is specified at ±3V. There is always a line driver (nowadays usually from the MAX232 family) that converts these levels to and from the internal digital signal levels of a computer or microcontroller.

> With respect to the internal levels the levels on the RS-232 line are inverted, +12V corresponds to logical low and -12V corresponds to logical high, which can be confusing.

Heh.

The answer to that is probably historical.

Psycogeek

@Bob totally depends, they got all that. and many of them will handle a lot more "voltage" at the gates, just not at any sort of current.

Bob

@Psycogeek Yea, but higher voltage normally implies higher current, unless you have a current-limited source.

Most basic signal transistors and micros wouldn't be too happy with receiving 12V, anyway.

Psycogeek

06:30

@Bob most of those things built way back when you could beat the heck out of them :-) they had all the leeway and overbuilding and all that good stuff back when people were using those old 9pin serial ports, they were protected, and mostly impervious. Now we have much better designs that break at the drop of a hat. Err i mean waste less power and are cheaper to build.
