Q: How to setup type 1 hypervisor on Ubuntu

I'm asking here because Google is coming up with a lot of information (information overload) and I am getting quite lost. I have setup a Ubuntu 16 server using only 60gb of the primary 1tb partition. I would like to run several more Ubuntu VM's on this server and have then use their own partiti...

trilolil

Q: Should I try to get rid of "Inappropriate ioctl for device" in strace output for a Bash script?

I'm using strace with this code: #!/usr/bin/env bash exec 0<test.log while IFS= read -r line; do printf "%s\n" "$line" done (The straight <test.log redirection gives the same result.) I'm getting this error for each read line: ioctl(0, TCGETS, 0x7fff1e645d50) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappro...

@Avery inaccurate

there are far to few wires on that desk

Avery

assume it's an imac

or just an AIO

TheWanderer

wheres the mouse wires and the other two monitors though

Avery

it's a comic.

terdon

@TheWanderer Who uses wired mice in this day and age?

TheWanderer

@terdon me

terdon

15:18

Really? Why?

TheWanderer

Bluetooth is a hassle

terdon

Ah, gaming, I guess.

TheWanderer

that too

terdon

Why bluetooth? I just have a nice little usb receiver. Might work over bluetooth, dunno. All I know is you plug it in and it works. Even in the BIOS. No hassle whatsoever.

TheWanderer

right those do exist

terdon

15:20

I don't think I've had a wired mouse this decade, actually.

TheWanderer

but then you forget the dongle when you transfer the mouse..

Avery

I should get a bluetooth mouse.

@TheWanderer transfer the mouse?

TheWanderer

to another computer or house

terdon

@TheWanderer Serves you right. If you transfer the mouse, you transfer the dongle. If you thought you could just take it and have it work on another computer, that's your problem :P

TheWanderer

you forget it isn't Bluetooth

Avery

15:21

I got used to it

TheWanderer

I like the MS mice because they can actually switch between dongle and BT mode

terdon

@TheWanderer I guess. I've never used a bluetooth mouse so it's not something that would happen to me.

TheWanderer

but you can't forget the wire on your wired mouse

Avery

but wires can break

get tangly

use too much space

terdon

@TheWanderer No, but I kept getting the damn thing tangled up.

Avery

15:21

not be usable on all place etc

TheWanderer

@Avery I have a nice braided wire

and I abuse this thing

stuff it in a computer bag, pull on the wire to get it out

Avery

I used to have a mouse with a braided wire

it broke after a year and a half

I have wireless ones that are years old that are still good

TheWanderer

remember those Dell mice from when Dell was still good?

in a completely unrelated note, I really like how Kotlin infers variable types

and for loops are pretty cool too

for (i in 0..4)

terdon

@TheWanderer Ha! Taken from Perl, of course :P

terdon@tpad ~ $ perl -le 'for $i (0..4){print $i}'

Hello everybody :)

TheWanderer

can't do Android in Perl though

terdon

15:42

@TheWanderer Nah, I was just pointing out that that syntax (almost) also works in Perl. But it works in all sorts of languages. Even the shell:

$ for i in {0..4}; do echo $i; done
0
1
2
3
4

But why can't you do Perl on Android?

TheWanderer

I mean make apps

Kotlin actually reminds me a lot of JS

terdon

@TheWanderer So what do you need to make apps?

TheWanderer

Java

and Android Studio

technically you can use C++, but that's not supported by Google

terdon

Ah, so all (or most anyway) Android apps are written in Java?

TheWanderer

yesh

Kotlin uses the Java compiler

it's just a new syntax

Rinzwind

15:52

@terdon you can use python too so why not perl?

Rinzy ! :)

boxy!

terdon

15:58

@Rinzwind That's what I thought, but TheWanderer seems to be saying otherwise.

Rinzwind

@terdon perltricks.com/article/97/2014/6/16/…

proof ^

TheWanderer

oh goody

Jacob Vlijm

goody? who's that

TheWanderer

I've just decided to implement ContentOberservers in Smali

@Rinzwind you can use Perl in Android, but not to make an app

Rinzwind

well it is a start :=)

Q: Can I develop Android applications in Perl?

I know that I can run Perl on Android, but I'm looking to write an app that can be released on Google Play, for anyone to download and run. Is Perl still a viable choice?
