00:36:20 <Sgeo> ehird, what is it?
00:36:46 <ehird> Sgeo: What is ... what
00:37:01 <Sgeo> the perl code in the comment that you commented on
00:37:22 <ehird> Sgeo: Not perl code at all.
00:37:36 <ehird> It was the typical '<line noise> This perl program does X! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!'
00:37:49 <Sgeo> oh, I was thinking maybe it's obfuscated destructive program
00:38:21 <Sgeo> Can Perl be obfuscated to look like that?
00:39:04 <ehird> Sgeo: Yes, see Acme::Eyedrops
00:41:41 <Sgeo> How does it work?
00:51:06 <ehird> Sgeo: It uses Perl's varioous single-symbol constants
00:51:09 <ehird> $~ $| etc

01:44:55 <Slereah> Guys.
01:45:09 <Slereah> A dude is telling me he thinks APL isn't TC.
01:45:11 <Slereah> What of it?
01:52:26 <RodgerTheGreat> uhm... does he have a reason, like unbounded storage representation? I mean, it's logically complete and has flow control...
01:53:20 <RodgerTheGreat> he's probably going with the usual "OH, well computers are ALL finite state machines, so they can't be TC and APL runs on computers" bullshit, though
01:54:19 <RodgerTheGreat> and I think it's possible to make that mathematica program less ugly, although I don't have mathematica 6 on hand to experiment
02:09:14 <Slereah> Well, he wasn't sure.
02:09:27 <Slereah> So I checked here.
02:27:57 <SimonRC> Hmm, 02:26 is bedtime for me.

04:03:51 <RodgerTheGreat> (unless I be a pirate, matey)
04:05:43 <Slereah> Heh.
04:06:02 <Slereah> I should buy that Feynman book about quantum gravity
04:06:16 <Slereah> But I have so much shit I still didn't finish, or at least read thoroughly.
04:06:42 <RodgerTheGreat> I'm about halfway through G.E.B., and it's nice to have something to break it up now and then
04:06:50 <RodgerTheGreat> pretty heavy reading at times
04:07:53 <Slereah> GEB?

04:09:35 <lament> surely you're joking is a way better book than GEB.
04:09:39 <Slereah> Oh that.
04:09:54 <RodgerTheGreat> dude, seriously- if you don't own this book, buy a used copy for a couple bucks on amazon- it's awesome
04:10:28 <RodgerTheGreat> lament: it's a good book, but I don't think it's better than GEB. GEB is fascinating and enjoyable to read in ways that few books are
04:10:45 <lament> i thought geb was pretty lame :)
04:10:59 <lament> feynman is amazing though
04:11:04 <RodgerTheGreat> the whole thing is an intricate, thoughtful web of insight and brain teasers
04:11:10 <Slereah> Right now, I'm saving up for Science without numbers :o
04:11:21 <Slereah> It's out of print, so it's a whole lot of money

04:13:23 <RodgerTheGreat> lament: I disagree with you, sir, but this is a battle of opinions

04:15:29 -!- oklopol has joined.
04:17:40 <RodgerTheGreat> so it would appear
04:35:14 <oklopol> no i win.
04:35:33 <Slereah> But I win harder.
04:36:48 <oklopol> however hard you win, i always win one harder
04:37:16 <oklopol> H(me) = H(you) + 1
04:37:53 <Slereah> But if I chose infinity, we win by the same amount.
04:38:01 <oklopol> no
04:38:05 <oklopol> i win by one more.
04:38:58 <Slereah> But aleph 0 + 1 = aleph 0 :o
04:39:04 <Slereah> It has the same cardinality!
04:39:57 <oklopol> this is where i'd pin you down and start beating you
04:40:32 <Slereah> I'm aroused by that statement.
04:40:48 <Slereah> I hope this means what I think it means!
04:41:47 <oklopol> yes. you're a sick pervert
04:42:33 <oklopol> eval makes obfuscation too easu
04:42:34 <oklopol> *easy
04:42:42 <Slereah> eval?
04:43:14 <oklopol> eval usually evaluates code in whatever language you're using
04:43:21 <oklopol> like
04:44:34 <RodgerTheGreat> what would be *really* interesting would be if eval evaluated code in language *different* from the one you're using that also had an eval statement
04:44:53 <RodgerTheGreat> that could get fucked up pretty quick
04:45:15 <Slereah> What is Eval?
04:46:32 <oklopol> eval evaluates code in the language you're coding in
04:46:39 <oklopol> it takes a string, and evaluates it
04:47:06 <oklopol> if not for scoping and such, you could usually take a random line in a program, and replace with eval "origina line"
04:47:10 <oklopol> *original
04:47:15 <Slereah> A link mehby?
04:47:22 <oklopol> you don't get it yet?
04:47:46 <Slereah> I'm not quite sure.
04:47:50 <RodgerTheGreat> but the advantage is that eval can often take a string, so you can execute new code chunks at runtime. Eval is a common feature of interpreted languages
04:47:57 <RodgerTheGreat> Javascript has eval(), for example
04:47:58 <oklopol> in {eval program} program is a string, it is considered a program source, which is then interpreted as code
04:48:04 <Slereah> Oh.

10:39:47 -!- kwertii has quit ("bye").
10:39:51 <oklopol> there's a fun list rewriting system that provides scoping without closures
10:40:19 <oklopol> basically, when substitution happens at depth n, it is quoted n times
10:40:35 <oklopol> where depth is the number of functions open in the right side's substitution recursion
10:40:50 <oklopol> <: a b> applies a to b
10:42:30 <oklopol> <. a b> is a "function", it has special semantics when it is returned from a substitution
10:42:38 <oklopol> application is substitution basically, tree-rewriting
10:43:22 <oklopol> means just pattern matching arg on a and returning b with substitutions done
10:43:42 <oklopol> perhaps i should get on the negative lists now :|
10:45:34 <oklopol> if pattern matching fails, pattern-based dispatching can be done by calling functions with disjoin patterns with the arg
10:45:35 <oklopol> like
10:45:46 <oklopol> <: f1 <: f2 <: f3 arg>>>
10:45:57 <oklopol> arg will only match one, all others are identity
10:51:32 -!- Judofyr has joined.
10:59:31 <oklopol> haha, the quoting system actually seems to make it impossible to to dynamic scoping at all

15:16:14 <Slereah> Lambda expressions are hard to debug.
15:21:13 <Slereah> Ahah!
15:21:19 <Slereah> A(0,0) = 1
15:21:22 <Slereah> It's a start.
15:22:35 <Slereah> And so is everything else.
15:22:37 <Slereah> Damn.
15:47:32 <Slereah> ...
15:47:32 <Slereah> Wait
15:47:32 <Slereah> Am I completely stupid?
15:47:34 <Slereah> Forgot to double the combinator D:
15:48:08 <Slereah> Still no work.
15:55:00 <oklopol> well if it's any consolation, my nopol interp worked on the first attempt
15:55:15 <oklopol> except for syntax errors and a few trivial ones
15:55:28 <oklopol> it's probably quite a consolation
15:56:22 <Slereah> Damn you and your awesome skills.
15:56:32 <Slereah> What's nopol like?
15:57:13 <oklopol> based on tree rewriting
15:57:22 <oklopol> but kinda lambda calculus too
15:57:47 <oklopol> <. a b> is a lambda, kinda
15:58:03 <oklopol> it means pattern match on a, return b with substitutions done
15:58:20 <oklopol> <: a b> calls lambda a with param b
15:58:32 <oklopol> if a isn't a lambda, or pattern matching fails, b is just returned
15:58:39 <oklopol> otherwise the result of the lambda is returned
15:58:46 <oklopol> this is the basics
15:58:59 <oklopol> i'm implementing negative lists soon, after that it might even get interesting
15:59:33 <oklopol> i did do something kinda fun for scoping
16:00:06 <oklopol> i achieve static scoping by quoting stuff in the right side of a lambda as many times as it's contained in a function there
16:00:08 <oklopol> i mean
16:00:28 <oklopol> <. <:> <. <::> <:>>> is k
16:00:39 <oklopol> <:> and <::> are just considered names08:00:48 <oklopol> if you can see how that's k, i'll continue
16:00:55 <oklopol> otherwise i'll either explain more or stop

17:38:09 <ehird_> <Slereah>Riddle : How come a perfectly functionning program gives me indentation errors on the python shell
17:38:10 <ehird_> Simple!
17:38:14 <ehird_> You need extra newlines if you do:

17:38:17 <ehird_>     b
17:38:17 <ehird_> c:

17:38:23 <ehird_> so if a = def
17:38:25 <ehird_> and c = class
17:38:28 <ehird_> you need a newline between the blocks

17:45:53 <ehird_> Slereah_: put newlines after each def/while/etc

17:46:12 <ehird_> and instead of sys.stdout.write...
17:46:14 <ehird_> why not 'print'?
17:46:44 <Slereah_> Because of the newline/space with the print
17:47:54 <Slereah_> No amount of newlines seems to fix the problem
17:48:08 <Slereah_> I'll just get another interpreter.
17:48:19 <ehird_> Slereah_: Don't get another interpreter. that's silly.
17:48:20 <ehird_> Also..
17:48:24 <ehird_> in your file
17:48:26 <ehird_> put something like

17:48:34 <ehird_> """
17:48:42 <ehird_> Slereah_: and then your block is just 'print help'
17:49:07 <Slereah_> Okay.
17:49:20 <Slereah_> Well, I don't have that problem on Linux :o
17:49:49 <Slereah_> Or on the regular Python interpreter.
17:49:54 <Slereah_> Only on the python shel
17:50:32 <ehird_> Slereah_: What is the error?
17:51:21 <Slereah_> "Inconsistent indentation detected!"
17:51:32 <Slereah_> Which is so not true dude.
17:51:34 <ehird_> Slereah_: You are indenting with both tabs and spaces.
17:51:34 <ehird_> Don't.
17:51:37 <ehird_> Use just spaces.
17:51:40 <Slereah_> Am not.
17:51:40 <ehird_> 4-space spaces.
17:51:45 <ehird_> Slereah_: And you are. Python says so.
17:51:51 <Slereah_> He lies D:
17:52:05 <Slereah_> Ah, wait
17:52:11 <Slereah_> I found a space there!
17:52:17 <ehird_> Slereah_: Good! Don't use tabs.
17:52:19 <ehird_> use spaces.
17:52:31 <Slereah_> Nah. Tabs are good.
17:53:08 <Slereah_> Wait, it seems to convert my tabs to spaces
17:53:13 <ehird_> Slereah_: Python convention sez use spaces.
17:53:13 <Slereah_> What the hell.
17:53:27 <Slereah_> Is there a big convert tabs to space buttons?
17:53:34 <ehird_> Slereah_: Yes.
17:53:41 <ehird_> Depends on your editor. :-)
17:53:46 <ehird_> Slereah_: but:
17:54:16 <ehird_> fn = 'MYPYTHONFILE'; f = open('MYPYTHONFILE').read().replace('\t', '    '); open('MYPYTHONFILE','w').write(f)
17:54:19 <ehird_> should do it
17:54:41 <Slereah_> I'm in favor of using the magic button.
17:54:47 <ehird_> Slereah_: That's a magic button.
17:54:53 <ehird_> Just replace mypythonfile with the file na,e.
17:54:54 <ehird_> And whooosh
17:54:55 <oklopol> olsner: it was my nopol interp, worked on the first attempt if you don't count trivial errors, but there were quite a lot of them

17:55:42 <ehird_> Slereah_: Now you just have to change the fn one
17:56:54 <Slereah_> Wait, python accepts ; ?
17:57:19 <ehird_> Slereah_: Yea.
17:59:20 <Slereah_> "Unindent does not match any outer indentation level"
17:59:23 <Slereah_> Well, change is nice.
17:59:58 <Slereah_> I guess I'll just redo the indentation myself.
18:00:35 <Slereah_> Also the help file, that will be done.
18:01:12 <Slereah_> Any other words of wisdom?
18:01:35 <ehird_> Slereah_: Tons.

18:13:12 <ihope> http://nomic.info/perlnomic/, you mean?
18:13:29 <oklopol> negative lists aren't implemented yet, but enough is for it to be lc complete
18:13:32 <ehird_> ihope: NOT AN ESOLANG
18:13:45 <ehird_> oklopol: yes, <ehird_> oklopol: dude
18:13:50 <ehird_> nopol is too readable
18:13:52 <ehird_> go back to <>
18:13:54 <ehird_> (that's what i said)
18:14:01 <oklopol> hmm, what do you mean?
18:14:08 <oklopol> oh
18:14:11 <oklopol> you mean k and s there?
18:14:14 <ihope> From the Agora Nomic ruleset: "A nomic ruleset is a set of explicit rules that provides means for itself to be altered arbitrarily, including changes to those rules that govern rule changes."
18:14:29 <ehird_> oklopol: well, yeah
18:14:30 <ehird_> you have :
18:14:30 <ehird_> and .
18:14:35 <ehird_> and properly balanced stuff
18:14:38 <oklopol> : and . are for naming
18:14:43 <ehird_> go back to < >< <>< > <> >
18:14:48 <oklopol> proper balancing is for not yet having negative lists
18:14:53 <ehird_> charset='<','>',' '
18:14:56 <oklopol> hmm...
18:15:01 <ehird_> it would be far more awesome
18:15:11 <ihope> What is nopol?
18:15:11 <oklopol> hmmhmm
18:15:25 <oklopol> atm, : and . are used for tagging lists with a name
18:15:38 <ehird_> oklopol: kind of violates the conceptual purity though doesn't it
18:15:39 <ehird_> i mean
18:15:42 <ehird_> analyze my character set
18:15:46 <oklopol> but i guess you could replace that with an arbitrary tree as the first element
18:15:48 <ehird_> we have the leftness
18:15:52 <ehird_> and the rightness
18:15:54 <ehird_> balancing themselves out
18:15:56 <ehird_> to describe things
18:15:57 <ehird_> and the space
18:15:59 <ehird_> to seperate them
18:16:54 <ihope> ehird_: what do you mean when you say "NOT AN ESOLANG"?
18:17:03 <ehird_> ihope: perl
18:17:07 <oklopol> well, i would like to do something "cleverer" than encoding lc into tree rewriting
18:17:13 <ehird_> also, ihope, does it enforce the rules?
18:17:15 <oklopol> but as that isn't all that easy
18:38:54 <oklopol> it's always hard for me not to have my langauge be tc right away
18:41:20 <ehird> alright
18:41:22 <ehird> :P
18:41:26 <oklopol> thanks :)
18:42:05 <oklopol> because how could i ever do something not everyone is completely satisfied with.
18:45:11 <oklopol> not all rewriting rules make sense with tagging
18:45:18 <oklopol> also negative lists forget all about them
18:45:40 <oklopol> so they aren't really all that beautiful in the same sense as the lists themselves, and the parsing rules
18:45:48 <oklopol> which are of course genious
18:46:14 <oklopol> *us

19:32:58 <ehird> oklopol: i just wrote an API for dictionaries in python
19:32:59 <ehird> i mean
19:33:01 <ehird> word dictionaries
19:33:01 <ehird> :P
19:33:14 <ehird> it uses http://ninjawords.com/!

19:40:12 <SimonRC> Judofyr: hi
19:40:18 <Judofyr> SimonRC: hi :)
19:46:25 <ehird> oklopol: not interested? ;)
19:51:16 <ehird> oklopol: oh well, here it is http://rafb.net/p/qYWaAg73.html
19:51:21 <ehird> you can use it from the command line
19:51:25 <ehird> 'python ninjawords.py hello world bar'
19:51:27 <ehird> or
19:51:30 <ehird> >>> import ninjawords
19:51:39 <ehird> >>> ninjawords.define('hello', 'world', 'bar')
19:51:50 <ehird> ninjawords.define_one('foo') spares  you the dictionary
19:52:03 <ehird> you can unicode()/str() words and entries
19:52:08 <ehird> and get the word name .word
19:52:10 <ehird> the entries .entries
19:52:15 <ehird> or the link to wiktionary if applicable .link
19:52:23 <ehird> the entries have .definition (the definition text)
19:52:27 <ehird> and .examples (None or the examples text)
19:52:32 <ehird> simple
19:53:10 <SimonRC> nice screen-scraping :rolleyes:
19:57:10 <ehird> SimonRC: yes :P
19:57:15 <ehird> nothing wrong with that, though
19:57:20 <ehird> ninjawords itself scrapes from wikiquote
19:57:35 <SimonRC> um, wow
19:57:55 <ehird> err
19:57:56 <ehird> wiktionary
19:57:57 <ehird> ofc
19:58:05 <oklopol> okokok
19:58:06 <oklopol> *o
19:58:14 <ehird> also
19:58:18 <ehird> i just made the API less horrific
19:58:19 <ehird> yey
19:58:20 <ehird> http://rafb.net/p/ShO6Qb79.html
19:58:26 <ehird> now define() doesn't return a silly dictionary
19:58:38 <ehird> define('hello','world','abc') => [defn of hello,defn of world,defn of abc]

20:11:03 <ihope> A nomic game over IRC could be interesting.
20:11:53 <ihope> We could make it quite fast-paced if we wanted to. Propose a rule change and five minutes later, it's either passed or failed.
20:17:57 <ihope> Anyone interested?
20:18:02 <ehird> Probably not :P
20:18:05 <ehird> But.
20:18:06 <ehird> Sounds interesting.
20:18:14 <ihope> :-P
20:18:23 <ehird> #ircnomic?
20:18:43 <ihope> Sounds good.

20:22:58 <ihope> Has it?
20:23:08 <pikhq> Don't remember a specific example ATM.
