01:08:24 <bsmntbombdood> find /usr/src -type f|xargs cat
01:08:47 <bsmntbombdood> do that, take a nap, and to the average guy's eye, you look like a hardworking programmer
01:52:23 <ihope> Do I sense continuation-passing style?
01:52:46 <Cusoon959> print "Hi"
01:52:58 <ihope> Is this IRP?
01:53:17 <Cusoon959> yes
01:53:23 <ihope> I guess I can't demand continuation-passing style here, since print doesn't return anything.
01:53:35 <ihope> Or maybe I can, since something to do next is sort of required.
01:53:43 <ihope> Um... say 'print "Hi" stop' instead.
01:53:51 <sp3tt> &
01:54:12 <ihope> Or I can just guess at your meaning. :-)
01:54:14 <ihope> Hi
01:54:19 <Cusoon959> thank you :)
01:54:50 <ihope> Error: unmatched parenthesis at column 12
01:54:55 <ihope> :-P
01:55:03 <sp3tt> haha
01:55:39 <Cusoon959> rofl
01:57:08 <Cusoon959> Please, some one write the first 16 numbers of the Fibonacci Sequence.
01:57:23 <sp3tt> Interpreter error: fuck you
01:57:53 <Cusoon959> :\
01:57:54 <Cusoon959> :P
01:57:55 <Cusoon959> :o
01:58:07 <sp3tt> irp is non-deterministic
02:00:38 <ihope> Error: fuck you :: IO a -> IO a; expected IO a.
02:02:13 <pikhq> Please, do not be deterministic.
02:02:30 * pikhq loves self-fulfilling commands
02:03:27 <ihope> Nothing is true.
02:03:37 * ihope loves self-defeating statements
02:04:06 <pikhq> :)
02:04:29 <pikhq> This is not a self-referencing statement.
02:04:49 <ihope> Yes it is. :-P
02:06:04 <pikhq> Not according to itself.
02:10:08 <ihope> Yes, but it doesn't have to be true.
02:10:42 <pikhq> Aye.
02:57:31 -!- Tritonio has quit (Remote closed the connection).
03:23:32 <GregorR> This statement is both true and false.
03:25:17 <pikhq> Simultaneously, or depending upon one's mood?
03:25:31 <pikhq> Hmm. Is it in a superposition of states?
03:25:46 <GregorR> Superposition :P
03:25:55 <pikhq> Or maybe, the statement *itself* decides which it is!
03:26:12 * pikhq loves this channel

03:41:12 <Sukoshi`> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103773 <-- Read the first review.
03:43:26 <bsmntbombdood> i don't get it
03:43:59 <Sukoshi`> What don't you get?
03:44:25 <bsmntbombdood> it, DUH
03:45:41 <Sukoshi`> You're supposed to laugh at the review's idiocy.
03:45:52 <bsmntbombdood> ha ha
03:46:00 <Sukoshi`> See? I win.

07:00:10 <c1|freaky> why would someone use a programming language like brainfuck? im just curious
07:17:55 <GregorR> For the sheer amusement and challenge of it.
07:18:31 <GregorR> Like Where's Waldo - frustrating as all hell, but even though you haven't accomplished something it feels great to get things working.

18:39:46 <oklokok> & doubleplop
18:39:56 <oklokok> does that take args?
18:40:33 <oklokok> hmm, i think it might work better postfix, argless looks nicer and unary args look less gay
18:40:39 <oklokok> doubleplop &
19:40:02 <ehird`> what

19:43:35 <oklokok> ehird`: long story, though i'd've assumed you'd get it
19:43:37 <oklokok> :)
20:03:31 <ehird`> THOSE FINGERS CREEP ME OUT AAAAAH
20:03:38 <oklokok> :P
20:03:48 <oklokok> that's one helluva cool ca
20:03:52 <ehird`> AAAAH GOD X_
20:03:53 <ehird`> X_X
20:04:11 <oklokok> i'm pretty sure that's tc
20:04:14 <oklokok> :P
20:04:35 <ehird`> heh!
20:04:45 <ehird`> real-life cellular automata :p
20:04:51 <ehird`> ... done with real cells!
20:05:05 <oklokok> yeah, gotta buy some
20:05:14 <oklokok> and see if it's deterministic at all

20:34:17 <bsmntbombdood> i get to only take 2 classroom classes this year
20:51:45 <oklokok> are the rest outdoors?
21:11:53 <bsmntbombdood> either online or independent
21:12:29 <oklokok> well aren't those the better options anyway
21:14:01 <bsmntbombdood> yeah
21:24:11 <oklokok> then stop complaining and sing!
21:26:58 <bsmntbombdood> i wasn't compaininginging
21:27:03 <bsmntbombdood> *complaining
21:29:18 <oklokok> i know, that was completely unrelated
21:29:50 <oklokok> ("then" was just bluffing)

22:44:00 <bsmntbombdood> how can context-free languages not be recognized by a FSM, but, my computer is a FSM
22:46:38 -!- digital_me has joined.
22:48:10 <GregorR> Context-free languages CAN be recognized by an FSM.
22:48:18 <GregorR> Context-free languages can be recognized by a PDA.
22:49:31 <bsmntbombdood> PDA > FSM
22:50:09 <GregorR> I was misusing the term FSM like you are.
22:50:14 <GregorR> Your computer is higher than an FSM.
22:50:21 <GregorR> Your computer is nearly a Turing machine.
22:50:39 <bsmntbombdood> that's like calling a FSM with a lot of states a turing machine
22:51:41 <GregorR> If you're going to get technical, then your computer can't recognize every possible instance of code written in a context-free language, because it doesn't have infinite memory.
22:51:52 <GregorR> Or, you could not be so needlessly technical.
22:52:35 <bsmntbombdood> i don't think a FSM can recognize all strings of a context-free language less than a certain length
22:52:43 <bsmntbombdood> oh, right, brute force :/
22:52:47 <GregorR> Yeah.
22:53:01 <GregorR> You can define each state as the exact content of every bit of memory in your computer plus registers, etc.
22:53:59 <GregorR> OR, you can acknowledge that that's a nonsense way to go about things, and the fact that your computer is bounded doesn't change the fact that it functions effectively as a Turing machine (until it runs out of memory)
22:54:36 <GregorR> ^^
23:04:27 <ihope> They can't *all* be recognized by FSM.
23:05:03 <ihope> If you give your computer a googolplex of ( and a googolplex of ), it won't be able to tell you whether they're matched or not.
23:05:15 <bsmntbombdood> we already said that
23:05:40 <bsmntbombdood> my computer also does better than brute force
