  1. For real masochism there was always the Iverson APL formal description of IBM 360 in just a few pages.
  2. Ok, Ill bite 😀 What do people use NC (in scripted objects for)? In my case its 1. Settings (rarely > 10 lines) 2. Help - size varies but never read into memory just a llGiveInventory So what are these mammoth NC used for?
  3. Another question about cacheing - and apologies if this is a silly question. The cache is server specific? Even for an attached HUD? So if an agent moves to another sim then the NC has to be cahced all over again?
  4. For me, the issue is more about simplicity (or lack of) in code structure as much as speed of reading NC lines. This is rarely a time critical task (and if it is perhaps its the wrong tool). We seem to have half a loaf in that a DS event of some sort has to be raised in order to ensure the NC is cached, or we need some exception handling etc. In coding remember SSSS - Simple Structure Saves Sanity 😀 I have an alternative suggestion, but I fear this ship has sailed as it were. string llGetNotecardLineAmbiguous(string name, integer index, integer wait) If the NC is cached the result (data or EOF) is returned right away; if it is NOT cached then, - if wait == TRUE the server pulls the NC into cache and then returns the requested line (or EOF; or NAK if the NC does not exist) so yes there may be a delay (as there would be for the DS event to be raised) - if wait == FALSE the server returns NAK immediately (yes NAK is overloaded, better to have different constants for "NC doesnt exist" and "NC not cached") What do people think? PS: small prize for coming up with a better name!! My first try was using Ambivalent but i realised that is literally inappropriate!
  5. Ok Im really not getting the joke in the "release note". Is this just 'maintenance' or something more? Especially i the context of : " Update - Scheduled maintenance is still in progress. We are aware some regions are taking longer than normal to come back online. Thank you for your patience! Oct 19, 07:50 PDT " (emphasis added)
  6. One big question, which Ill try to get Simon to answer is ... what is the relative impact of the new code for each case of a border crossing Old > New New > Old New > New Right now Id say its all looking pretty good so maybe the better question is when will this to to Main Channel. Also, is there any expected benefit to agent detaching and other sorts of collateral damage? (ie Im not sure if thats just a possible comsquence of a slow crossing or if it can occur for other reasons.
  7. Im confused. ("What else is new, I hear you ask). I think my first question should be, as Ive been a bit out of touch, is - how can I tell if a region is RC or Main channel. I dont see it on the window nav bar and The server_channel argument to llGetEnv seems to return "Second Life Sever" everywhere. Alternatively is ther ea list of which sims are in each channel? As I understand it - RC channel should have 556847 and main channel should have 556255, The reason Im looking into it is that I had thought that 556847 was only on beta grid and it had some sim crossing improvement code. But Im actually seeing 556847 on a lot of main grid sims ( Blake Sea etc ). Yesterday I observed dramatically improved sim crossings compared to the previous few weeks. Looks like the improvements made it to RC channel.
  8. As of last night Blake Sea was looking good. Will be sailing some more there in a little while. Will keep an eye out. Thanks for the feed back, its appreciated.
  9. Cattewater, Kendra still blocked (from the S) at 12:05 SLT
  10. We have filed tickets, with this response "We have escalated the regions with the trouble you have noticed and hope they will resolve the issue soon. Is there anything else that Support could help with today, as we are not able to alter anything in development?" i wasnt aware that the updates to the main grid are "in development" LOL my basic question is - how is this update going? does not seem like "This update has a couple of cloud configuration changes; these may improve some of the performance metrics, but otherwise should not be anything user visible"
  11. Has the maintenance ended? Quite a few sims in Blake arte not opertaional (Jones Locker, Beaufort to name but two ) you can TP in but not sail in. Also, any issues elsewhere?
  12. Does this mean that the beta grid will be more stable than the production grid? Im thinking from the perspective of yacht racing that requires large regions (like Blake Sea) of contiguous sims online for an hour or so without interruption.
  13. This forum has , I think, maybe Im wrong, had a confirmation of no deploy for either of the channels.
  14. No deploy plans posted. Also nothing on grid status page. (Its Terrible Tuesday!)
  15. And we seem to have restarfts going on in Blake again today. Does anybody know what is going on?
  16. The 10 day thing is normally Tuesday I believe. I am still not clear what maintenance was scheduled for today. I do have an explanation for what was happening in Blake this afternoon (EDT) ... we had requested that a couple of down sims in Blake be restarted (at about 11:30 SLT or thereabouts. I gather that the CSR noticed a number of sims had not been restarted for 10 days and decided to do unscheduled restarts on all of them two, thus causing us to abandon our racing. However this has nothing to do with whatever was started at 9 am SLT.
  17. Colour me confuse https://gyazo.com/2c45b8df42c4a11b5dde560a841c90c8 Which is it? And sims are restarting all over the place
  18. Nice to see (1) "it didnt hurt al all" and (2) it completed on time. Last several weeks its often been quite late which has impacted our races. I have this funny feeling LL is gradually getting its act together, no idea why LOL.
  19. Is the SLS release happening today? Nothing on the grid status page.
  20. The improved performance seems to be persisting. I'm measuring the "freeze time" at the border (as opposed to the agent detach / attach time), and that is regularly under 0.4 seconds now, usually under 0.2, versus 4 - 7 seconds before (on a Trudeau 12m yacht - 92 LI, 992KB script memory plus 400KB for HUDS). The other thing that seems to have changed is that when the agent fails to re-attach, I'm finding that I can TP back on to the boat with about 90% success rate (cam is a little messed up and you're stuck in mouselook mode, but the boat is responsive to gestures etc) - previously the success rate of getting back on was < 20% for me. The bottom line is that we now have a very much higher % of boats finishing a race, and many more without falling off.
  21. Umm wasnt 2020-07-31T15:02:15.545966 released Aug 4?
