<diegonc><< The getpriority() and setpriority() functions work with an offset nice value (nice value -{NZERO}). The nice value is in the range [0,2*{NZERO} -1], while the return value for getpriority() and the third parameter for setpriority() are in the range [-{NZERO},{NZERO} -1]. >> <diegonc>why is posix so hairy regarding priorities :/ <ahoka>I think it's due to portability of posix but I could be wrong <diegonc>and also there's nice():: << A maximum nice value of 2*{NZERO}-1 and a minimum nice value of 0 shall be imposed by the system. >> <diegonc>so we have two ranges wich need to be converted from one to another at some hard to tell points <diegonc>and the there's mach priorities hehe <jab>morning hurd friends. <jab>youpi: Do you think you'll be able to squeeze some time out of your schedule to write a recommendation for me for the sparrow wallet grant ? <youpi>I have no idea what you are talking about <jab>oh, I sent you an email to your samuel.thibault @ gnu DOT org email address. But basically my friend Jeff and I are hiring some guix developers to package sparrow wallet. It's helping update guix's java related things. <jab>I was hoping that you might be able to speak to my documentation skills. <jab>basically I was asking if you would be willing to write a short letter of recommendation about why my team should get the opensats grant. <jab>youpi: is that a yes? <youpi>jab: again, I don't know what you are talking about <jab>ok. I'll resend the email to you. Everything you need to know is in the email. We'd only need the email recommendation by the end of the month, so it's not time sensitive. <youpi>I have not received an email <jab>if that doesn't work, with your permission, I'll send it to bug-hurd@gnu.org ... 😕 <youpi>I'm not really interested in java and bitcoin <jab>I'll be sending the next qoth here in oh gosh...I need to send that to you soon! <jab>not until june is over. whew.
