<diegonc>o/

<diegonc>so, it seems the new threads max priority being clamped to BASEPRI_USER (25) comes from the initial commit in the Git repositories, both from GLIBC and GNU Mach.

<diegonc>I feel there must really exist a very good reason to change such beahaviour

<diegonc>GLIBC's part is calling task_priority with change threads set to TRUE which is why it fails

<diegonc>I think I can get rid of the error by implementing a "task_priority_override" that sets the task, pset and *current* threads max_priority/priority

<diegonc>but that won't apply to new threads created afterwards

<diegonc>errror => setpriority failing for root

<SurrealHypergrap>Hi. I noticed that Hurd called object-oriented, but it still works with files and directories instead of objects. I had imagined translators also acting as codecs (parsers/serializers), so software doesn’t have to do that busywork. (I also thought maybe the GUI is implemented as a translator aswell.)

<SurrealHypergrap>Was something like this ever considered?

<diegonc>AFAIK, the file system is the namespaces for discovery of translators which can speak any desired object interface through RPC

<diegonc>so the FS is just how you obtain a port to that RPC

<diegonc>*port right

<SurrealH>(It seems my connection is unstable. Excuse the disconnects.)

<SurrealH>diegonc: okay, I should have looked into Hurd RPC befor asking that question. ^^

<SurrealH>It’s nice to see Hurd took a page more from Plan 9, than Linux did…

<SurrealH>I’ll go read up…

<SurrealH>Thanks!

<jab>afternoon friends!

<Alicia>good afternoon jab
