raptelan_ has joined #arpnetworks raptelan_: uggh network connection to arp is extremely slow and intermittently timing out entirely. raptelan: blah raptelan_: typing keystrokes over ssh is like using a 300 baud dial up modem while simultaneously downloading a large file :P vtoms: what's 300 baud? raptelan_: bits per second
the earliest modems I remember seeing were 110 baud, then 300, then 1200, 2400, 9600, 14.4k, 28.8k, and lastly 56k which actually connected at a maximum around 50k. vtoms: sorry was trolling, hadn't heard any one talk about dial up in so long.
j/k raptelan_: people grow up on broadband these days and some really genuinely don't know what 300 baud means at all :P vtoms: in this day and age of high speed kids wouldn't even know what that is. It would be as if you ask bill gates to borrow a quarter. RandalSchwartz: I think I had a 19.2 modem in there somewehre. vtoms: he wouldn't know what you are talking about raptelan_: ah yeah 19.2 RandalSchwartz: might be just misremembering
14.4 and 28.8 were using a different technology raptelan_: dunno if modems were made to that spec or if that was just a fallback connection rate, but it was one anyways. RandalSchwartz: the 9600 was doubled to 19.2 raptelan_: ahh. RandalSchwartz: don't recall a 38.4 though raptelan_: I do. RandalSchwartz: I remember all the hoopla about how a modem was two or three possible standards in the sub 56k market
and even at 56k there was two or three standards
the good old days. raptelan_: oh, and 33.6
yeah 56k was a bit of a ridiculous mess vtoms: the good ol' days raptelan_: I remember thinking ISDN was the shit RandalSchwartz: still pretty amazing getting the very last digital bit out of that analog line
using every corner of shannon-hartley's maximum bits raptelan_: I used dial-up exclusively for BBS's and then my first use of internet was at my mom's workplace at NIST, which had a T1 or something fast, I got spoiled on it, then talked my employer into buying dial-up - I think the fastest modem at the time was 14.4 and I called up the ISP complaining about how horribly slow it was - I thought something was really wrong.
I thought HTML worked like RIP. LOL RIP. vtoms: are there any BBS any more? That you can dial or telnet into? raptelan_: yes telnet BBS's are abundant
I should probably set one up vtoms: lol, raptelan_: I still use one to play LORD
pretty popular too, a whole bunch of other players
I don't know that RIP exists anymore or if it is capable of working over telnet, maybe with the right client. RandalSchwartz: just reading the modem wikipedia.
trailblazer modems spoofing the UUCP g protocol. amazing.
I'd forgotten about htat raptelan_: I don't want to remember any more than I can't forget ;)
then again, when the internet collapses, that knowledge might come in handy
because there's so much stuff being dumped on it, and it's not a big truck, so it's just a matter of time really. RandalSchwartz: and the HST protocol from USR raptelan_: it's a series of tubes!
RandalSchwartz: let's not forget ZMODEM, YMODEM, and the zillion other file transfer protocols :P
what I definitely did appreciate about those days was that there was a more universal caring about efficiency. RandalSchwartz: ... When calculated, the Shannon capacity of a narrowband line is , with the (linear) signal-to-noise ratio. Narrowband phone lines have a bandwidth of 3000 Hz so using (SNR = 24 dB), the capacity is approximately 24 kbit/s.[3] raptelan_: IT people have by and large gotten lazy and dumber since then. RandalSchwartz: zmodem - invented by a fellow portlander!
I met Chuck a few times raptelan_: I met you once. :P
seem to remember there being some fine English tobacco involved. RandalSchwartz: modern IT people just think about webscale and sharding. :) jpalmer: I've met you never :p I've missed you in a few cities by a week or so. raptelan_: haha yeah :)
it astounds me that people think they need database architecture design to "thousands of nodes", when systems are so ridiculously powerful these days
that's a quote from my last boss, and a big part of why I quit.
my perspective was pretty simple - if a customer needed to buy thousands of nodes to run our inefficient product, we were gonna run out of clients pretty fast. RandalSchwartz: yeah raptelan_: w-w-w-windows windows, windows 386!
ever watch that infomercial? RandalSchwartz: I don't think so raptelan_: RandalSchwartz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noEHHB6rnMI
it's 12 minutes of your life you'll never get back, but it's pretty worth it. raptelan: ooh, network seems okay again. ***: raptelan_ has quit IRC (Quit: Page closed) up_the_irons: vtoms: raptelan : 300 baud is actually "symbols per second", not bits. baud comes from the Baudot Code for telegraphy and is a unit of symbol rate. when things went digital and every "symbol" was in fact a bit, then people started using baud and bps interchangably, yet they are not -: up_the_irons learned something from his HAM studies vtoms: up_the_irons that's interesting are they where were they prior to being bits?
