<dthompson>fr33domlover: yup, it's 'on' that registers successs/failure handlers

<cwebber>Great job wizard !

<jfred>gonna try to get my home config built with a newer version of guix so I can play around with the new goblins release, here goes nothing ^^;

<jfred>while I've been waiting for guix things to compile I've been taking a peek at fibers's timer/scheduler code (was curious about that time gap bug) and oh my this is a deep rabbit hole

<jfred>it doesn't help that I haven't really grokked delimited continuations yet

<cwebber>Oh yeah

<cwebber>wingo has a nice talk about fibers' design

<cwebber>Including the spin locks coordination architecture

<cwebber> https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7IcI6sl5oBc

<cwebber>That's a great talk if you want to understand how Fibers works

<jfred>ooh, thanks - will have to check that out later

<jfred>I *think* I might have touched upon a solution... though not in enough detail to try writing it yet :) https://github.com/wingo/fibers/issues/89#issuecomment-2375808880

<civodul>jfred: oh, that’d be great :-)

<sneek>Welcome back civodul, you have 1 message!

<sneek>civodul, apteryx says: congrats on 'gnu: guix: Update to e85f52e.'

<civodul>Andy explained me timer wheels but i still found it hard to wrap my head around it (and lacked “good quality” hack time to do that)

<civodul>this is one of the two Fibers bug i’d like to help fix before tagging Shepherd 1.0

<jfred>the link in the comment at the top of the file helped me to understand it a little bit: https://www.snellman.net/blog/archive/2016-07-27-ratas-hierarchical-timer-wheel/

<civodul>yeah

<jfred>I still don't have a full understanding of 1) when ticks happen and 2) what data exactly is stored in each slot

<jfred>trying to figure out the former is what really sent me down the rabbit hole haha

<civodul>heh

<weary-traveler>sneek: botsnack

<sneek>:)

<dthompson>posted a quick nontechnical blog post about our time at dweb camp last month https://spritely.institute/news/spritely-went-to-dweb-camp-2024-recap.html

<dthompson>lovely little conference, would recommend

<jfred>it looks fun!

<jfred>real far away but maybe I'll try to go next year...

<dthompson>it's quite the trek to get there

<sneek>weary-traveler: Greetings!!
