00:00:01 <AnMaster> ehird, yes, the world is fail
00:00:01 <ehird> oklopol: my dream is to make a modern lisp machine
00:00:02 <oklopol> (damn that'd be cool :D)
00:00:06 <ehird> and use my OS on it
00:00:12 <ehird> my own freaking hardware RUNNING LISP.
00:00:17 <AnMaster> ehird, price?
00:00:29 <ehird> AnMaster: well, fabricating silicon costs millions :p
00:00:34 <ehird> so I'd sell it for millions!
00:00:39 <AnMaster> hah
00:00:46 <oklopol> oerjan: you're back? either i missed that, or i imagined your departure.
00:00:55 <ehird> he came back like 30m ago
00:01:04 <AnMaster> oklopol, he isn't here
00:01:07 <AnMaster> don't be silly
00:01:11 <oklopol> oh
00:01:21 <AnMaster> oklopol, maybe you need to visit a doctor if you are imagining things?
00:01:28 <oklopol> okay, guess there's no use seeing what he answered to my message then.
00:01:46 <oerjan> that may be for the best.
00:01:51 <AnMaster> oklopol, there was no message. The message was a lie.
00:01:54 <ehird> oklopol do you have a 64 bit cpu
00:01:56 <oklopol> well i like lies
00:01:59 <oklopol> ehird: no
00:02:02 <AnMaster> I do!
00:02:04 <oklopol> at least i don't think so...
00:02:10 <oerjan> AnMaster: also, it was chocolate
00:02:12 <AnMaster> and I know ehird has too
00:02:12 <ehird> okay my OS will support 32-bit then so you can use it :-P
00:02:23 <AnMaster> oerjan, the message was a chocolate?
00:02:25 <AnMaster> eh?
00:02:28 <ehird> i was planning only to support x86_64
00:02:32 <ehird> and have no 32-bit compatibility mode.
00:02:33 <oerjan> chocolate messages are the best
00:02:42 <AnMaster> oerjan, you are right
00:03:35 <ehird> the window dec & shadow of this kde looks like vista on unfocused windows
00:03:40 <ehird> well
00:03:42 <ehird> just the shadow
00:03:44 <ehird> i notice the weirdest things.
00:03:53 <AnMaster> ehird, err
00:03:57 <AnMaster> change KDE theme?
00:04:12 <AnMaster> ehird, possibly extra themes may be a separate package
00:04:16 <AnMaster> they are for KDE 3 iirc
00:04:18 <ehird> no, it looks nice
00:04:20 <ehird> :P
00:04:34 <ehird> the shadow just vaguely looks like vista under certain conditions
00:04:36 <AnMaster> ehird, "looks like vista" "it looks nice"
00:04:38 <AnMaster> fail
00:04:44 <ehird> "shadow looks like vista"
00:04:49 <ehird> also, vista isn't too ugly.
00:04:51 <ehird> it beats xp.
00:04:56 <ehird> and gnome.
00:05:10 <AnMaster> ehird, win2000 beats all of them
00:05:12 <AnMaster> fact
00:05:16 <ehird> win2000 is fugly
00:05:26 <AnMaster> ehird, Mac OS 7 beats win2000
00:05:32 <ehird> cp/m ftw
00:05:38 <AnMaster> ehird, nah
00:05:46 <ehird> SYMBOLICS GENERA FTW
00:05:49 <ehird> ^ and I mean it
00:05:56 <AnMaster> yes of course
00:06:08 <ehird> i so want to splash out $3500 on a lisp machine :-(
00:06:16 <ehird> well, + plane fee to avoid absurd shipping costs
00:06:22 <oklopol> ehird: yay thank you. except now i need to use it.
00:06:28 <ehird> oklopol: ???
00:06:35 <oerjan> water color painting beats them all!
00:06:42 <oklopol> "so oklo, i wrote these 30000 lines of compatibility code for your 32-bit"
00:06:43 <AnMaster> ehird, wow: http://symbolics.com/
00:06:52 <oklopol> "wanna try the os?"
00:06:54 <ehird> AnMaster: what about it?
00:07:01 <AnMaster> ehird, you can still get it :)
00:07:04 <ehird> sure
00:07:07 <ehird> they're not making any new ones
00:07:19 <ehird> it's just a lifeless shell of a company
00:07:23 <AnMaster> ehird, true
00:07:24 <ehird> but they'll still give you a lisp machine on request
00:07:36 <AnMaster> ehird, really? they have some left in stock?
00:07:39 <AnMaster> and what do they cost
00:07:53 <ehird> $3500 for the top of the line one
00:07:58 <ehird> + insanely high shipping costs
00:08:01 <AnMaster> ehird, which is outdated yes
00:08:05 <ehird> second
00:08:09 <ehird> finding the price list
00:08:11 <AnMaster> but question is, do they make new ones
00:08:15 <ehird> absolutely not
00:08:19 <ehird> I don't think they have since the 80s
00:08:21 <AnMaster> or just sell out what is left of stock?
00:08:26 <AnMaster> which isn't going fast?
00:08:29 <ehird> yep
00:08:50 <ehird> AnMaster: http://www.lispmachine.net/symbolics.txt
00:08:52 <ehird> full price lists
00:09:09 * AnMaster looks
00:09:10 <ehird> the macivory stuff is a modified mac + lisp card
00:09:13 <ehird> less pure but cheaper
00:09:24 <ehird> you'd either want the XL120{0,1} or the 36xx
00:09:28 <AnMaster> hah
00:09:33 <ehird> the latter is $675
00:09:41 <ehird> which is surprisingly cheap
00:09:43 <ehird> like, really
00:09:51 <AnMaster> hehe
00:10:04 <ehird> that david k schmidt guy commented on an opengenera piratebay torrent
00:10:12 <ehird> read and lol:
00:10:30 <ehird> dkschmidt at 2007-08-15 02:24 CET:
00:10:31 <ehird> Congratulations on downloading the finest software development environment ever created. If you want to find out more about Genera or would like to have a Symbolics Lisp Machine, check out the Symbolics website at www.symbolics.com or contact sales@symbolics.com.
00:10:45 <oklopol> hmm
00:11:00 <oklopol> can i go now?
00:11:11 <ehird> NO.
00:11:26 <oerjan> certainly you can. whether you may is a different matter.
00:11:32 <AnMaster> ehird, oh where can I get opengenera?
00:11:36 <AnMaster> and where can I use it
00:11:53 <AnMaster> like do I need an ALPHA emulator or such?
00:11:57 <ehird> lemme find the bloggers post for you
00:12:03 <ehird> AnMaster: http://collison.ie/blog/2008/04/lisp-machines
00:12:09 <oerjan> unless you have accidentally got stuck on something, i guess.
00:12:18 <ehird> AnMaster: you need a separate lunix
00:12:20 <ehird> install
00:12:28 <AnMaster> lunix?
00:12:29 <ehird> because genera writes over /etc/hosts
00:12:30 <ehird> and similar
00:12:32 <ehird> AnMaster: linux :P
00:12:32 <oerjan> or even if you did it on purpose.
00:12:35 <AnMaster> ah
00:12:43 <AnMaster> ehird, well I could have it in a chroot yes
00:12:53 <oklopol> oerjan: but will i?
00:13:06 <oklopol> and most importantly, should i
00:13:07 <oerjan> oklopol: do i look like an oracle?
00:13:13 <oklopol> well
00:13:17 <oklopol> yes
00:13:18 <AnMaster> ehird, torrent still live?
00:13:31 <ehird> yep
00:13:33 <AnMaster> well
00:13:36 <ehird> quite slow last time I ran it
00:13:37 <ehird> but live
00:13:44 <AnMaster> tpb is currently in court
00:13:55 <ehird> the court is currently saying "yeah, go away prosecutors"
00:13:57 <AnMaster> do I dare use it atm? Probably not
00:13:59 <oerjan> i see. but not the future, alas.
00:14:02 <ehird> because their arguments are ridiculous
00:14:06 <ehird> AnMaster: they're not suing the users
00:14:07 <ehird> just the operators
00:14:17 <AnMaster> ehird, well who knows what will happen in the future
00:14:17 <AnMaster> also
00:14:25 <AnMaster> last I looked it wasn't like that
00:14:26 <AnMaster> :/
00:14:30 <oklopol> oerjan => oreajn => oraejn => (rotate n into a c) oraejc => oracej => (straighten j and reverse the end) oracle
00:14:47 <ehird> AnMaster: the only thing in the logs will be you hitting TPB tracker
00:14:50 <ehird> since the rest is totally distributed
00:14:55 <oklopol> isn't that where you got your nick?
00:15:01 <oerjan> nope
00:15:02 <ehird> and hitting a bittorrent tracker URL is hardly illegal
00:15:19 <oklopol> oerjan: oh, sorry, my mistake, i guess i'll have to listen to ehird then.
00:15:21 <ehird> unless you live in oceania
00:15:26 <AnMaster> ehird, err
00:15:29 <AnMaster> error from tracker
00:15:30 <AnMaster> wth
00:15:35 <ehird> now that is odd
00:15:35 <AnMaster> "invalid response from tracker"
00:15:36 <ehird> what error?
00:15:38 <ehird> hm.
00:15:39 <oklopol> so i guess i'm stuck here forever.
00:15:41 <ehird> give it a few minutes
00:15:44 <AnMaster> ehird, ktorrent
00:15:47 <oerjan> oklopol: beware of lying oracles.
00:15:50 <AnMaster> maybe I should try some other one
00:15:52 <ehird> should work in a bit
00:16:07 <AnMaster> ehird, wonder what it means
00:16:11 <AnMaster> invalid in what way
00:16:16 <ehird> servers are having a booboo?
00:16:24 <oklopol> oerjan: would an oracle lie just to be able to hint he did with a metaphor?
00:16:28 <oerjan> if you live in oceania, knowing that bittorrent trackers exist is illegal.
00:16:37 <AnMaster> ehird, as in timed out, error message, corrupt data, or what?
00:16:42 <ehird> AnMaster: who knows
00:17:04 <oerjan> oklopol: quite possibly
00:17:26 <AnMaster> ehird, btw who is that "dkschmidt"?
00:17:32 <oklopol> oerjan: damn i was hoping for a metaphor :P
00:18:13 <oklopol> hmm. maybe i'll sleep anyway. play by my own rules.
00:18:14 <oklopol> ->
00:18:16 <AnMaster> wth
00:18:17 <ehird> AnMaster: symbolics salesman
00:18:19 <ehird> same guy on symbolics.com
00:18:23 <ehird> and at the end of that price list
00:18:26 <AnMaster> ah
00:18:35 <AnMaster> ehird, in other words he doesn't care very much
00:18:44 <ehird> most likely
00:18:51 <ehird> even if he really cares, he's taking advantage of the situation :P
00:19:09 <AnMaster> seems like timeout
00:19:36 <oerjan> oklopol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactive_proof_system
00:20:09 <AnMaster> udp://tracker.thepiratebay.org:80/announce == dead
00:20:39 <AnMaster> oh
00:20:41 <ehird> AnMaster: replace it with http
00:20:42 <AnMaster> ipv6 fail
00:20:45 <ehird> oh
00:20:53 <AnMaster> ehird, I suspect
00:21:20 <AnMaster> or not
00:21:23 <AnMaster> non-ipv6 fail
00:21:31 <AnMaster> it responds to ping6 but not ping
00:21:32 <AnMaster> wth
00:22:40 <AnMaster> maybe ktorrent can't handle ipv6
00:22:40 <AnMaster> or
00:22:45 <AnMaster> maybe my firewall fails
00:24:53 <ehird> holy fuck emacs fonts are huge
00:25:16 <AnMaster> ehird, change the terminal font then
00:25:23 <AnMaster> or using it in X mode?
00:25:24 <ehird> gtk emacs :P
00:25:27 <AnMaster> then change the emacs font
00:25:30 <AnMaster> somewhere
00:25:34 <ehird> yeah it's just dpi problems
00:37:50 <ehird> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MandelbrotOrbitInfimum.png omg ew ugly
00:40:43 <AnMaster> ehird, torrent still broken
00:40:45 <AnMaster> will try again later
00:40:53 <ehird> i have the file
00:40:56 <ehird> so I can dcc it
00:40:59 <AnMaster> hm ok
00:41:05 <AnMaster> well let me check if dcc is setup
00:42:18 <AnMaster> ehird, try to dcc it now. hopefully it will work
00:42:23 <oerjan> more proof that the mandelbrot set is really a Great Old One...
00:42:35 <AnMaster> <ehird> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MandelbrotOrbitInfimum.png omg ew ugly <-- nice
00:42:46 <ehird> uglyyyyyyyy
00:42:47 <ehird> it makes me want to vomit
00:42:55 <ehird> file:///media/Macintosh HD/Users/ehird/Saved/2009-02/opengenera/opengenera2.tar.bz2
00:42:57 <ehird> hmm.
00:42:58 <ehird> fail.
00:43:02 <AnMaster> ehird, well I would have used another colour scheme
00:43:17 <AnMaster> blue instead of pink
00:43:21 <AnMaster> but apart from that: nice
00:43:34 <ehird> the belly button X_X
00:43:39 <ehird> AnMaster: yo I dcc'd
00:43:52 <AnMaster> err
00:43:55 <AnMaster> no?
00:44:01 <ehird> very yes
00:44:05 <ehird> agh, I guess firewall
00:44:06 * ehird filebins it
00:44:10 <AnMaster> ehird, maybe my bnc fails?
00:44:14 <AnMaster> or your bnc
00:44:19 <ehird> router
00:44:20 <ehird> probably
00:44:23 <ehird> it's shit
00:44:33 <ehird> want a linksys pronto...
00:45:13 <AnMaster> <*status> DCC Xfer Bounce (ehird): Timeout waiting for incoming connection [192.168.0.64:60386]
00:45:15 <AnMaster> yes indeed
00:45:23 <AnMaster> not sure what that means
00:45:27 <ehird> " Must be less than 50 megabytes"
00:45:28 <ehird> fuck.
00:45:34 <AnMaster> ehird, says who?
00:45:54 <AnMaster> specs?
00:46:38 <ehird> filebin.ca
00:47:10 <AnMaster> k
00:47:17 * AnMaster waits for url
00:47:22 <ehird> " Must be less than 50 megabytes"
00:47:23 <ehird> IC an't use it
00:47:27 <AnMaster> ah
00:52:35 <AnMaster> ehird, oh I see
00:52:40 <AnMaster> look at the ip you sent
00:52:44 <AnMaster> in the above dcc error
00:52:48 <AnMaster> hah
00:52:50 <AnMaster> that is the issue
00:52:56 <AnMaster> wait
00:52:56 <AnMaster> no
00:53:01 <AnMaster> that is my ip
00:53:05 <AnMaster> ehird, something is up anyway
00:53:14 <AnMaster> oh and the torrent seems to work in rtorrent
00:53:19 <AnMaster> maybe because it uses ipv6
00:53:27 <AnMaster> so no need for your help it seems :)
00:53:29 <AnMaster> thanks anyway
00:57:30 <ehird> AnMaster: Boggle yer mind:
00:57:32 <ehird> >>> def two(): return 1. + (two()/2.)
00:57:34 <ehird> ...
00:57:35 <ehird> >>> two = recur_default(two, 10, 0)
00:57:37 <ehird> >>> two_ = use_rd(two)
00:57:38 <ehird> >>> two_()
00:57:40 <ehird> 1.9990234375
00:57:41 <AnMaster> python?
00:57:41 <ehird> Also oklopol's mind.
00:57:45 <ehird> yep.
00:57:49 <ehird> Finite infinite recursion!
00:58:01 <AnMaster> ehhah
00:58:03 <AnMaster> hehe*
00:58:17 <AnMaster> ehird, nice but what about about it
00:58:26 <AnMaster> also is that python 2.x?
00:58:31 * AnMaster really likes python 3
00:58:33 <ehird> works in both
00:58:39 <AnMaster> ah
00:58:40 <ehird> AnMaster: well, can't you see? I wrote a function that calls itself infinite times
00:58:45 <ehird> then approximated its value
00:58:54 <AnMaster> ehird, what is recur_default()?
00:59:01 <ehird> My secret sauce.
00:59:09 <AnMaster> ehird, where is it defined?
00:59:15 <AnMaster> and what does it look like
00:59:22 <ehird> recur_default.py
00:59:26 <ehird> :P
00:59:36 <AnMaster> ehird, not making it public yet?
00:59:44 <AnMaster> tell me when you will make it public
00:59:48 <ehird> in a min
00:59:51 <AnMaster> since I'm going to be in 5 minutes
01:00:43 <ehird> just need to iron out some creases
01:02:58 <ehird> specifically, a nicer call interface
01:03:17 <AnMaster> ehird, does this work for any infinite series?
01:03:24 <ehird> any infinite recursion
01:03:25 <AnMaster> defined in recursive form
01:03:28 <AnMaster> hm ok
01:03:40 <AnMaster> ehird, using much black magic?
01:03:48 <ehird> AnMaster: it basically just checks the callstack
01:03:50 <ehird> to see if you recurse
01:03:56 <ehird> if we've already recursed N times, return the default value
01:03:58 <AnMaster> interesting
01:07:34 <AnMaster> ehird, pure python or using the C API?
01:07:43 <AnMaster> doing this with C API sounds trivial
01:07:51 <ehird> pure python
01:07:52 <ehird> sys._getframe()
01:08:03 <AnMaster> there is even stuff in the C API to detect if you recursed
01:08:37 <AnMaster> ehird, hm how do you insert yourself in the call
01:08:38 -!- FireFly has quit ("Later").
01:08:53 <AnMaster> I mean you need to replace the two() call with some custom routine
01:09:02 <ehird> decorators
01:09:03 <AnMaster> that checks the recursion
01:09:03 <ehird> >>> [two(limit=i) for i in range(0,10)]
01:09:05 <ehird> [1.0, 1.5, 1.75, 1.875, 1.9375, 1.96875, 1.984375, 1.9921875,1.99609375, 1.998046875]
01:09:11 <AnMaster> hm I see
01:09:24 <ehird> AnMaster: the code + example: http://pastie.org/396402
01:09:25 <ehird> err
01:09:28 <ehird> @@recur_default should be @recur_default
01:09:50 <AnMaster> kwargs?
01:09:52 <ehird> btw, two() reaches 2.0 on my system at 53
01:09:54 <AnMaster> what does that name mean
01:09:55 <ehird> AnMaster: like foo=bar
01:09:57 <ehird> keyword arguments
01:10:00 <AnMaster> ah
01:10:01 <AnMaster> right
01:10:11 <AnMaster> **kwargs?
01:10:17 <AnMaster> looks like C to me ;P
01:10:58 <AnMaster> ehird, hm ok
01:11:05 <AnMaster> I need to read that when less sleepy
01:11:20 <ehird> hmm
01:11:25 <ehird> change > new_func.limit to >= new_func.limit
01:11:28 <ehird> bye ->
01:11:34 <AnMaster> ehird, night too

13:37:30 <AnMaster> ais523, hi
13:37:40 <AnMaster> btw how do you write hexdecimal integers in scheme?
13:37:45 <ais523> I don't know
13:37:56 <AnMaster> ah
13:38:08 <oklopol> in or out?
13:38:51 <AnMaster> oklopol, as in (define foo 0x123)
13:39:01 <AnMaster> but that doesn't do what I wanted
13:39:03 <oklopol> if you mean having hex in the code, there's a whole well-written section about the numbers in r5rs.
13:39:15 <oklopol> yeah it's not like that
13:39:22 <ais523> hmm... is it 16#123, or have I got the wrong language there?
13:39:22 <AnMaster> k will look
13:39:26 <oklopol> try 123h, 123x, x123, h123
13:39:29 <AnMaster> ais523, that sounds erlang
13:39:32 <ais523> ah, maybe
13:39:49 <AnMaster> ais523, which means it may be prolog too I gueszs
13:39:51 <AnMaster> guess*
13:39:58 <AnMaster> gah cold fnigers
13:40:00 <AnMaster> ...
13:40:01 <AnMaster> fingers*
13:40:06 <oklopol> i recall b was used for binary, but i haven't really used numbers in scheme.
13:40:57 <AnMaster> oklopol, h prefix/suffix both says unbound variables
13:41:01 <AnMaster> variable*
13:41:03 -!- kar8nga has joined.
13:41:19 <AnMaster> so does b and x
13:41:50 <AnMaster> in both mzscheme and guile
13:43:22 <oklopol> hmm.
13:43:29 <oklopol> then i've probably imagined it all.
13:44:38 <oklopol> ah #x
13:49:26 <AnMaster> (string->number "100" 16)
13:49:26 <AnMaster> =
13:49:26 <AnMaster> ?
13:49:26 <oklopol> well that's for output
13:49:26 <AnMaster> indeed
13:49:26 <AnMaster> err
13:49:26 <oklopol> err
13:49:26 <AnMaster> input
13:49:26 <oklopol> sorry misread
13:49:26 <oklopol> yeah that works
13:49:26 <oklopol> but #x123
13:49:26 <oklopol> # is used for all the stuff you can specify about a number
13:49:26 <AnMaster> oklopol, so what about other bases? like base 14?
13:49:26 <oklopol> you can't do that in a literal
13:49:26 <oklopol> also you can't do floating point in anything but decimal in scheme either iirc
13:49:26 <AnMaster> > #h101
13:49:26 <AnMaster> readline::81: read: expected `a' or `x' after #h
13:49:26 <AnMaster> mhm
13:49:26 * AnMaster wonders what that is then
13:49:26 <oklopol> yeah stuff that isn't legal scheme often errors out
13:49:26 <AnMaster> oklopol, duh yes
13:49:26 <AnMaster> but what is #ha supposed to me
13:49:26 <AnMaster> be*
13:49:26 <oklopol> #h is not specified by the standard
13:49:26 <AnMaster> mzscheme extension then
13:49:26 <AnMaster> > #hx101
13:49:26 <AnMaster> 101
13:49:26 <AnMaster> mhm
13:49:26 <oklopol> lol :D
13:49:49 <AnMaster> oklopol, too lazy to search docs for what it does
13:51:10 <AnMaster> err
13:51:10 <AnMaster> grammar fail
13:51:10 <oklopol> what what does?
13:51:10 <AnMaster> oklopol, too lazy to search mzscheme docs for what #hx/#ha means
13:51:10 <oklopol> why would you care?
13:53:48 <AnMaster> well now I care
13:54:10 <AnMaster> #hx starts a Honu expression; see Honu Parsing
13:54:10 <AnMaster> #hash starts a hash table; see Reading Hash Tables
13:54:11 <AnMaster> hm
13:54:41 <AnMaster> wth
13:54:44 <AnMaster> "Honu is a family of languages built on top of Scheme. Honu syntax resembles Java."
13:58:50 <oklopol> :D
14:01:05 <AnMaster> ais523, which is the correct way to express "foo mmap()s blah blah" should one use "mmap()s" or "mmaps()"? Or maybe just "mmaps"?
14:02:45 <ais523> I'd say mmap()s
14:02:51 <AnMaster> ok
14:02:55 <AnMaster> thanks
14:03:03 <AnMaster> ais523, would it be "abort()'d" too?
14:03:11 <ais523> it's probably not correct English, but amongst programmers the habit is to write anything that has to be written literally literally
14:03:14 <ais523> and no, abort()ed
14:03:21 <AnMaster> also if you wish to refer to man page section, would you use: mmap(2)s ?
14:03:36 <ais523> I don't really think pluralising a man page makes sense
14:03:49 <AnMaster> ais523, hm it is a verb isn't it?
14:03:51 <oklopol> i always separate suffices with "'"
14:03:53 <AnMaster> in this case
14:04:12 <oklopol> unless they are actual grammatical suffices
14:04:13 <AnMaster> someprogram mmap(2)s blah blah
14:04:18 <ais523> well, ok
14:04:33 <AnMaster> hm
14:08:00 <oklopol> someprogram cu me zoi py. mmap(2) py.
14:08:17 <AnMaster> oklopol, eh.. Finnish?
14:08:27 <oklopol> not at all
14:08:29 <AnMaster> err spelling
14:08:48 <AnMaster> anyway mmap() makes no sense in python, and you mentioned py twice on that line
14:10:05 <oklopol> didn't mean python
14:14:06 <AnMaster> heh
14:20:17 <oklopol> xD
14:20:23 <oklopol> i just realized something
14:20:43 <oklopol> i've probably been feeling sick all weekend *because i'm sick* :D
14:21:03 <ais523> why is that a :D?
14:21:25 <oklopol> because i didn't realize it.
14:22:47 <oklopol> i mean think about it
14:23:25 <oklopol> i feel like shit, and never for a minute stop to think why, i just quickly adapt myself to the situation and start doing things a bit differently, being under a blancket 24/7 etc
14:23:31 <oklopol> but i don't actually realize anything is wrong.
14:23:34 <oklopol> i'm like a cavemen.
14:23:35 <oklopol> *man
14:24:09 <oklopol> anyway should probably go to the shop, coke probably helps for flues.
14:27:16 <oklopol> ais523: the actual sickness isn't a ":D" or a ":(", because it's not bad enough anyway to actually hinder my studyings. i just find it funny how well i can ignore everything around me, including my body.
14:28:26 <oklopol> (also that "including my body" thing i said that way just so you could ask whether i actually don't consider my body a part of myself; i'm not sure why i assumed you would)
14:28:51 <ais523> your body may be a part of you the person
14:28:57 <ais523> it's nothing to do with oklopol the nick, though
14:29:04 <ais523> I only talk to your thoughts over IRC
14:29:09 <ais523> not the things that surround them
14:29:23 <oklopol> maybe you just talk to my fingers tho.
14:29:31 <oklopol> it's not like i actually actively control thhem
14:29:32 <oklopol> *them
14:29:38 <oklopol> i just let them live on the kb
14:29:41 <ais523> I assume your fingers aren't intelligent enough to make sense without your brain sending them information somehow
14:30:14 <oklopol> well i do admit what i type does go through my brain, but i honestly cannot say which way the information goes.
14:30:50 <oklopol> i mean through introspection, i do know enough anatomy to assume it's brain->hands. but you never know
14:31:17 <oklopol> (err through introspection was part of the earlier sentence, then a full stop before "i do know...")
14:31:28 <oklopol> (nm i should probably do that shoppery)

15:01:54 <ehird> #x

15:02:01 <oklopol> yeah i told him
15:02:06 <ais523> hie hird
15:02:19 <ehird> oklopol: yeah I should have told him to read r5rs
15:02:23 <ehird> it's only like 30 pages
15:02:27 <ehird> ais523: hi
15:02:34 <ehird> overall linux summary: better than before, but still not impressed.
15:03:06 <ehird> also, don't use guile
15:03:07 <ais523> did you get it working?
15:03:08 <ehird> it's not scheme
15:03:11 <oklopol> seriously, i'm sick, this is so weird
15:03:12 <ehird> ais523: yes, I'm talking via it now
15:03:25 <ais523> did you get your wireless mouse/keyboard working?
15:03:58 <ehird> Yes, although it's stupid and forgets it on every bootup so I have to manually connect with a USB keyboard.
15:04:31 <AnMaster> ehird, strange
15:04:44 <ais523> I think your beliefs about Linux are about right, decent but not actually good, and getting better all the time
15:04:46 <AnMaster> is there no config file or such?
15:05:04 <ais523> it's certainly good enough for me to use as the basis of my primary OS, I think your standards are higher than mine though
15:05:20 <ehird> It's english-decent but not ehird-decent, I have a weird tounge.
15:05:21 <AnMaster> ais523, btw I never had issues like those ehird had under linux. What I have had issues with is ATI and way way back a winmodem
15:05:23 <ehird> AnMaster: yes, it's utterly ignored
15:05:32 <AnMaster> ehird, heh
15:05:48 <ehird> ais523: font rendering sucks badly
15:06:02 <ais523> I like the font rendering, actually
15:06:07 <AnMaster> ehird, however I still don't see why anything but kernel upgrade would need reboot
15:06:08 <ais523> but we're probably looking for different things in it
15:06:17 <AnMaster> like quicktime, is it in kernel or what?
15:06:17 <ais523> AnMaster: turning off your laptop to take it home?
15:06:33 <ais523> that's by far the most common reason I reboot mine
15:06:35 <ehird> AnMaster: like 99% of apps, including the window manager etc, heavily use quicktime
15:06:38 <AnMaster> ais523, I was talking about upgrades, of course there could be reasons like you need to move or such
15:06:39 <ehird> so you hvae to restart them all anyway
15:06:44 <AnMaster> or hardware upgrade
15:06:56 <ehird> ais523: it's either too weedy, or so bulky you can see the oddly coloured subpixels
15:07:11 <ehird> right now I have subpixel rendering off, and hinting=slight
15:07:17 <ehird> it is barable
15:07:20 <ehird> *bear-able
15:07:30 <ais523> ehird: ah, does your screen resolution match your screen's actual resolution?
15:07:44 <ais523> I'm using subpixel over here, and can't see the oddly coloured pixels
15:07:45 <AnMaster> ehird, 99.999% of the apps on my system are dynamically linked to glibc, exceptions are probably only: busybox (static), valgrind (own libc) and ldconfig (static)
15:07:47 <ehird> oh come on, don't ask trivial things like that
15:07:50 <ehird> of course it does
15:07:53 <ehird> ais523: so you have high hinting
15:07:54 <ehird> right?
15:07:55 <AnMaster> yet I upgraded glibc from 2.6 to 2.8 with KDE running
15:07:58 <AnMaster> haven't rebooted yet
15:08:01 * ais523 checks
15:08:12 <AnMaster> works fine, had to rebuild valgrind and gdb but that was it
15:08:13 <ehird> AnMaster: yeah generally when you upgrade the intention is to USE THE UPGRADED THING
15:08:18 <ehird> maybe wacky linux people don't understand that notion
15:08:24 <AnMaster> ehird, yes I do use it for like 50% of the apps by now
15:08:33 <AnMaster> like half of the KDE apps
15:08:34 <ais523> subpixel with full hinting
15:08:42 <ehird> AnMaster: and OS X reboots fast enough that you could use 100% of them in about 15 seconds
15:08:51 <ehird> ais523: go to en.wikipedia.org
15:08:54 <ehird> isn't the text horribly thin?
15:08:57 <ehird> and klunked together
15:08:59 <ehird> that was my problem
15:08:59 <ais523> ehird: using which browser?
15:09:01 <ais523> and which font?
15:09:10 <ehird> Konqueror, and the default
15:09:20 <ehird> by the way, does Konversation show as kde3 for you?
15:09:31 <ais523> yes, there isn't a kde4 version yet
15:09:32 <AnMaster> ehird, hm that depends, I have seen macs that take 2 minutes from sleep mode, though it was one that was set up to sync against some server at work.
15:09:37 <ais523> so it's not surprising they shipped the kde3 version
15:09:49 <ehird> AnMaster: "Example involving nothing to do with the actual reboot, this means the reboot is slow"
15:09:51 <ehird> convincing
15:10:00 <AnMaster> ehird, reboot takes like 10 minutes on it
15:10:13 <ehird> wow, you can make a system take ages to run if you do stupid shit that takes time!
15:10:17 <AnMaster> ehird: actually, around 1 minute to login screen, then 9 minutes after you hit login
15:10:19 <ehird> you've convinced me. os x sucks
15:10:23 <ais523> ehird: you're right, konqueror seems to screw up the kerning on wikipedia main page
15:10:24 <AnMaster> no
15:10:29 <AnMaster> I don't say OS X sucks
15:10:30 <ehird> ais523: all subsequent pages, too
15:10:30 <ais523> firefox manages it fine, though
15:10:42 <ehird> let me try with Arora
15:10:42 <AnMaster> ehird, what I'm saying is that it depends on what you are doing.
15:10:49 <ais523> I suspect it's something to do with different defaults, rather than an intrinsic difference between the browsers
15:10:58 <ais523> or possibly GTK vs. Qt, but I think that's less likely
15:11:12 <ehird> AnMaster: your example is at best far out enough to be completely irrelevant; at worst having no relation whatsoever to the situation
15:11:16 <AnMaster> ehird, anyway I have a linux computer that boots in 16 seconds from you press the button, a Pentium 3 with 512 MB RAM
15:11:20 <ehird> huh, I lost like 10 options from system settings
15:11:24 <ehird> how did that happen
15:11:26 <ais523> what do you mean lost?
15:11:31 <ehird> they're not there in the oerview
15:11:33 <ehird> I may be imagining things
15:11:43 <ehird> ais523: what font dpi are you using?
15:11:45 <ehird> also, screenshot?
15:11:50 <ais523> of what?
15:11:53 <ehird> the text rendering
15:12:00 <AnMaster> ehird, I have seen that on mac actually.. iirc bluetooth was suddenly gone from mouse settings...
15:12:02 <ais523> which set of rendering?
15:12:05 <ais523> I'm back on Gnome atm, btw
15:12:10 <ehird> oh.
15:12:11 <AnMaster> ehird, reboot fixed it
15:12:15 <ehird> gnome renders fonts differently.
15:12:23 <ais523> but I've set my default font to Sans 10
15:12:28 <AnMaster> ehird, gnome and kde use separate setting panels yes
15:12:32 <AnMaster> -_-
15:12:33 <ehird> err
15:12:34 <ais523> and most of the apps here are using that
15:12:35 <ehird> that is not what I said
15:12:36 <ehird> wow
15:12:38 <ehird> that was highly irrelevant
15:12:42 <AnMaster> oh
15:12:42 <AnMaster> ?
15:12:51 <ais523> AnMaster: it's me who's using Gnome
15:12:52 <AnMaster> then I misunderstood you
15:12:54 <AnMaster> ah
15:13:07 <ais523> so unless ehird's remote-desktoped into my computer, then he wouldn't care what's in my settings panel, probably
15:13:15 <ais523> and wouldn't be able to see it in any case without a screenshot
15:13:17 <ehird> if you see some ambiguity in what I'm saying and nobody else seems to, you porbably read it wrong
15:13:21 <ais523> and certainly wouldn't think it was his
15:13:22 <ehird> *probably
15:13:32 <ehird> ais523: i'm actually behind you.
15:13:46 <ais523> no you aren't
15:13:55 <ehird> I'm also invisible
15:14:02 <ais523> there's no sane way you could have got through the Door
15:14:08 <ehird> I am not sane

15:18:38 <AnMaster> ehird, did you manage to get the fonts to look good?
15:18:42 <ehird> AnMaster: Not yet.
15:18:45 <AnMaster> mhm
15:18:50 <ehird> ais523: I was going to complain about something else. Let me think what it was...
15:19:02 <ehird> (BTW, a screenshot of the font rendering would be appreciated, I'm thinking I've missed some combination of settings)
15:19:09 <ais523> well, fonts are a legitimate complaint for someone who cares as much about fonts as you do
15:19:13 <AnMaster> btw, for me wikipedia main page doesn't look bad in konq (KDE 3.5.9)
15:19:15 <ais523> and I'm not sure what to screenshot
15:19:23 <ais523> AnMaster: does it mess up the kerning?
15:19:34 <ehird> ais523: an application? system prefs?
15:19:42 <AnMaster> ais523, not really, it uses Bitstream Verra Sans though
15:19:50 <ais523> ehird: in Gnome the system prefs are just choosing font and size
15:19:57 <ais523> it's gnome, would you expect it to have settings?
15:20:01 <ehird> er, there's an antialiasing setting too
15:20:06 <ehird> ais523: I meant KDE system preferences, anyway
15:20:07 <ais523> oh, yes
15:20:15 <ais523> as for KDE settings, I'd have to boot into KDE and I mustn't here
15:20:27 <ehird> err, you just have to run the settings app
15:20:29 <ehird> no?
15:20:32 <ais523> there's a strange bug with volume which means it blares out the logon sound at full volume even when the speakers are set to low volume or muting
15:20:47 <AnMaster> ais523, huh, I never seen that
15:20:51 <ehird> why would you have to boot into KDE?
15:20:55 <ais523> ah, yes
15:21:05 <ais523> well, the KDE system settings window messes up fonts for me
15:21:06 <AnMaster> ais523, idea: turn off the login sound in KDE settings
15:21:09 <AnMaster> should be possible
15:21:17 <BeholdMyGlory> ehird: btw, if you're interested, the SVN version of Konversation uses Qt4 (you mentioned something about it a few minutes ago)
15:21:19 <AnMaster> at least it is on KDE 3.x
15:21:26 <ehird> BeholdMyGlory: is it semi -stable?
15:21:29 <AnMaster> "system notifications" I think
15:21:55 <ehird> ais523: apeparance->fonts, by the way,
15:22:02 <ais523> yes, found it
15:22:06 <ehird> mm
15:22:12 <BeholdMyGlory> ehird: yup, I'm using it right now, haven't found any problem except for a minor graphical bug that you probably wont even encounter
15:22:38 <AnMaster> ehird, btw xchat is way better than xchat aqua I heard
15:22:38 <ais523> BeholdMyGlory: have you reported it?
15:22:50 <ehird> AnMaster: it is, but it still sucks
15:23:11 <AnMaster> ehird, what about conspire then? It is a fork of xchat, I heard it was way better
15:23:29 <AnMaster> haven't tried it myself though
15:23:39 <ehird> aaaaaagh!! Stop trying to get me to use xchat! wtf man!
15:23:51 <AnMaster> sorry
15:23:58 <AnMaster> ehird, should I try to get you to use ERC instead ;P
15:24:00 <BeholdMyGlory> ais523: no, I haven't. maybe I should? but then again, the porting is in progress, they probably just haven't gotten there yet
15:24:14 <ehird> AnMaster: you just authorized your own death, fyi
15:24:21 <AnMaster> hah
15:24:30 <ehird> ais523: generally, bug reports aren't appreciated for pre-pre-pre-alpha code
15:24:33 <ais523> BeholdMyGlory: I like to report bugs, or at least check if it's already known
15:24:36 <ais523> ehird: ah, ok
15:24:38 <ais523> are you sure?
15:24:39 <ehird> yes
15:24:45 <ehird> I've seen several projects explicitly state that
15:24:53 <ehird> since they almost certainly know about the issue already
15:25:01 <ais523> well, they should put it in the tracker then
15:25:02 <ehird> and are busy with other things
15:25:20 <ais523> certainly when I'm programming I appreciate bug reports even in pre-alphas
15:25:41 <AnMaster> ehird, that actually varies. for example, yesterday a valgrind developer wanted me to try svn version instead of last release and also report any bugs I found in the experimental ptrcheck tool in it.
15:26:02 <AnMaster> while it did fix one of the bugs I had in the release I found (and reported) several other ones :)
15:26:04 <ehird> ais523: uploading a screenshot of awful text rendering on wikipedia with subpixel+full hinting
15:26:13 <ehird> the window decoration text looks nice though
15:26:15 <ais523> ehird: I've seen it too
15:26:18 <ehird> filebin hates arora
15:26:23 <ehird> ais523: you said firefox gets it fine
15:26:33 <ehird> I'm not using konqueror
15:26:56 <AnMaster> ehird, did you build freetype with BCI yet?
15:27:06 -!- Dewi has quit (Network is unreachable).
15:27:08 <ehird> I'm not going to build my own freetype
15:27:22 <AnMaster> well, it is the thing that will help
15:27:31 <ehird> your screenshot with it was awful.
15:27:39 <AnMaster> binary distros don't enable the BCI because Apple has a patent on it in US
15:27:44 <ehird> so you've said
15:27:45 <AnMaster> ehird, that is because my fonts sucks
15:27:54 <ehird> I only have dejavu too
15:28:17 <AnMaster> ehird, you could copy some from OS X and change the settings to use them
15:28:36 <ehird> I'm trying to gague how well linux is doing, not how well linux is doing if I patch it to make it os x :p
15:28:38 <ais523> can Linux use OS X fonts?
15:28:43 <ehird> ais523: if you convert them.
15:28:48 <AnMaster> ais523, you need to convert them first
15:28:51 <ehird> they look ugly though
15:29:02 <AnMaster> ehird, not if you use the BCI :P
15:29:18 <ehird> ooh, I htink I struck gold with some settings
15:29:19 <ais523> interesting, it seems they just ported D to the Mac
15:29:24 <AnMaster> it is just that dejavu and such are optimised for non-BCI
15:29:26 <ais523> ehird: which settings are those?
15:29:26 <ehird> use subpixel rendering = RGB
15:29:28 <ehird> hinting style = slight
15:29:38 <AnMaster> ugh subpixel
15:29:46 <ais523> AnMaster: why don't you like subpixel?
15:29:47 <ehird> thank you AnMaster, I didn't ask for your opinion
15:29:52 <ehird> ais523: D already works on os x, with gdc, but gdc is unmaintained and crap
15:29:53 <AnMaster> ais523, coloured edges of fonts
15:29:55 <ehird> dmd now works on it, too
15:29:59 <ehird> AnMaster: err, you're meant to use a tft.
15:30:01 <ehird> which specifically hides those.
15:30:10 <ehird> that's the whole point of subpixel rendering
15:30:11 <ais523> well, subpixel only makes sense on TFTs
15:30:13 -!- Corun has quit ("This computer has gone to sleep").
15:30:21 <AnMaster> ais523, I have a TFT.
15:30:24 <ais523> as for the subpixel choices, only one of them is ever correct
15:30:26 <ehird> you have a crap tft.
15:30:31 <ais523> so if you pick the wrong one, you'll see coloured edges
15:30:32 <ehird> or configured subpixel rendering badly.
15:31:26 <ehird> logout login time --->
15:32:34 <ehird> I think there's one idiot developing KDE that ruins the whole thing
15:32:38 <ehird> it prompts you if you want to move something to the trash.
15:32:41 <ehird> I am not kidding.
15:33:05 <AnMaster> ais523, I tried all the subpixel style options
15:33:11 <AnMaster> all give coloured edges
15:33:21 <ais523> what screen res are you using?
15:33:38 <ehird> either your tft screen is crap, or you're using a crap subpixel implementation, or you had the wrong hinting settings or whatever
15:33:39 <AnMaster> 1400x1050, as for DPI I think it is 98 DPI or such
15:33:42 <AnMaster> don't remember exactly
15:33:46 <ais523> ehird: so does Windows, about that move-to-trash prompt
15:33:51 <ehird> with good subpixel rendering it is impossible to see the colouring without zooming in
15:34:02 <ehird> ais523: it's stupid! the whole point of a trash is to be able to undo deletes!
15:34:03 <ais523> I think there's at least one KDEer who goes around copying Windows' bad ideas as well as their good ones
15:34:24 <AnMaster> now what works well is: antialias, full hinting, no subpixel, exclude 0-7 pt
15:34:32 <ais523> and with 1400x1050, as long as your screen res matches the screen's actual res, no way a normal human should be able to see the color fringes if you use the right pixel order
15:34:44 <ehird> ais523: or, the implementation is crap
15:34:48 <AnMaster> ais523, it is 20" btw
15:34:49 <ehird> or, it's placebo like so many things
15:34:51 <AnMaster> iirc
15:35:05 <ehird> he tried it thinking he wouldn't like it, lo and behold...
15:35:31 * ehird installs ms core fonts
15:35:52 <ais523> I'm actually thinking about uninstalling those, because openoffice keeps trying to use them by default
15:35:54 <ais523> and I don't like them
15:36:10 <ehird> I don't like them but dejavu sans is very ugly unless planned for
15:36:14 <ehird> the web is killing my eyes
15:36:24 <ehird> ais523: also, it's Qt that messes up kerning, I think
15:36:28 <ais523> well, there are lots of other fonts in the list
15:36:30 <ehird> as other browsers are doing it too
15:36:45 <ais523> and Qt messing up kerning is consistent with my obligations, although I haven't seen enough to prove it
15:36:48 <ais523> *observations
15:38:04 <AnMaster> wow that was a crazy typo..
15:38:12 -!- BeholdMyGlory has quit (Remote closed the connection).
15:38:36 <AnMaster> ehird, what about kerning in firefox?
15:38:38 <ais523> AnMaster: too much nomic
15:38:48 <ehird> I don't really feel like installing firefox, but it'd probaly be fine.
15:38:57 <ais523> firefox is gtk-based on Linux
15:39:11 <AnMaster> ais523, yes and?
15:39:22 <AnMaster> I use Gimp in KDE. Gimp is GTK based
15:39:31 <ehird> joy, more irrelevance...
15:39:45 <AnMaster> I found the comment that firefox is GTK based quite irrelevant too
15:39:54 <ais523> AnMaster: well, the theory is that it's Qt that's messing up kerning
15:39:55 <ehird> er, it really wasn't
15:40:07 <ais523> and by implication, gtk apps won't
15:40:09 <ais523> because they don't use qt
15:40:15 <AnMaster> ais523, yes exactly, that is why I suggest you try something else. Also kerning isn't messed up in konq here
15:40:17 <ais523> just like athena widget apps or SDL apps won't
15:40:19 <AnMaster> maybe QT 3 is better?
15:40:23 <ehird> graaaaaaaaah
15:40:30 <ehird> AnMaster always has to inject "USE THIS OTHER APPLICATION"
15:40:34 <ehird> "USE THIS VERSION THAT I PREFER"
15:40:42 <AnMaster> or I use a different font, or I happen to use a freetype with BCI
15:40:45 <ais523> AnMaster: well the whole point of this exercise was to evaluate how ready KDE 4.2 was for people like ehird to use as a main OS
15:40:51 <AnMaster> ais523, ah I see
15:40:55 <ais523> which is the point you're probably missing
15:41:04 <AnMaster> ais523, indeed that changes the whole thing
15:41:09 <ais523> I tried it for a while and went back to Gnome
15:41:18 <ais523> I think it's usable for me as a main OS, but Gnome is more usable
15:41:21 * ehird carefully opens tiny hole in body to let out craziness to avoid explosion
15:41:38 <ehird> ais523: don't make me download an ubuntu cd... :P
15:41:56 <ais523> ehird: meh, it hasn't changed much recently
15:42:05 <ais523> it's mostly been bugfixing and stealing good ideas from Mac OS X
15:42:20 <AnMaster> ais523, I can't stand gnome, but I can't stand kde 4.x either, and yes I tried both, though not 4.2, but from what I seen in screenshots and release notes it is still way behind kde 3
15:42:23 <ais523> did you know that Windows 7 has what's effectively the Dock, now, except probably implemented worse and with a different name?
15:42:26 <ehird> yep
15:42:30 <ehird> one day they'll all just license out os x from apple :P
15:43:35 <AnMaster> point is that the BCI thing is quite similar to the way some binary distros (used to?) disable mp3 support in the included mediaplayer, because of patents
15:43:45 <AnMaster> not sure if that is still the case
15:44:09 <ais523> AnMaster: well in Ubuntu you have to download it separately IIRC
15:44:11 <ehird> Hmm, I should take advantage of my freedom while I have it. Maybe I'll try some window manager.
15:44:17 <AnMaster> ais523, heh
15:44:35 <AnMaster> ehird, xmonad? xnomad?
15:44:47 <ehird> xnomad is a ninja. it kills windows you don't need.
15:44:48 <ais523> I was about to mention xmonad too
15:44:55 <ehird> it's called the bsc. bullshit collector.
15:44:56 <ais523> given that ehird made me install it
15:45:02 <ehird> ais523: I've tried xmonad, guess I'll try it again
15:45:03 <AnMaster> ehird, hehe
15:45:12 <ehird> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=634447
15:45:13 <ehird> AnMaster: HA!
15:45:17 <ehird> BCI IS enabled in ubuntu.
15:45:17 <ais523> it doesn't really suit the way I use windows, though
15:45:20 <ehird> Since at least dec 2007.
15:45:44 <AnMaster> ehird, last I heard it wasn't, but ok... So maybe try disabling it?
15:45:48 <ehird> from another thread, since at least october 2006
15:45:50 <ehird> AnMaster: how?
15:45:59 <AnMaster> ehird, compile time option for freetype
15:46:13 <ais523> AnMaster: this is a binary distro, messing with compile time options isn't what people normally do on those
15:46:13 -!- BeholdMyGlory has joined.
15:46:14 <ehird> lol
15:46:24 <ais523> although Ubuntu handles source packages fine, people rarely use them
15:46:30 <AnMaster> ais523, iirc even debian has this thing called "source packages" yes
15:46:46 <ehird> XMONAD TYME ->
15:46:53 <ehird> well, I have to install tons of crap first.
15:46:56 <ehird> like ghc.
15:46:59 <ehird> (xmonad depends on ghc.)
15:47:00 <ais523> AnMaster: what do you mean "even debian"
15:47:11 <ehird> ais523: he sees debian as a lowest common denominator.
15:47:15 <ais523> how do you think Debian makes the binary packages in the first place?
15:47:21 <AnMaster> ehird, no that is slackware
15:47:22 <ehird> because, umm, I don't know, it's not source based?
15:47:23 <AnMaster> ;P
15:47:36 <AnMaster> ais523, yes of course, that was my point
15:47:37 <AnMaster> ...
15:47:38 <ehird> AnMaster: you have some fucked up distro ladder...
15:47:53 <ehird> I don't think the biggest ubuntu fan would say slackware is the lowest distro
15:47:59 <AnMaster> ehird, not a ladder, stairway to gentoo
15:48:12 <ehird> kind of like the stairway to heaven? I'm happy being at the bottom on both.
15:48:13 <ais523> please, I'm physically laughing out loud now
15:48:21 <AnMaster> ehird, it was a horrible pun yes
15:48:26 <ehird> ais523: you're way too amusable ;p
15:48:28 <ehird> *:p
15:48:40 <ais523> no, just confused
15:48:44 <ais523> I missed the pun, I think
15:48:49 <ehird> I don't think it was a pun
15:48:54 <ais523> well, I still can spot it
15:48:56 <ehird> I think he s/heaven/gentoo/ and called it a pun
15:48:56 <ais523> *can't
15:49:09 <AnMaster> ehird, well if it wasn't a pun, then what was it
15:49:18 <ais523> that's what we're asking you?
15:49:21 <ehird> AnMaster: it wasn't actually anything
15:49:25 <ais523> I can't figure out what you were doing there at al
15:49:26 <ehird> apart from a feeble attempt at humour
15:49:26 <ais523> *all
15:49:39 <ais523> this is why I'm so amused
15:49:44 <AnMaster> ais523, intentionally making no sense
15:49:51 <ehird> I wish I had that excuse
15:50:06 <ehird> i'm actually really funny, you can tell because i'm not!
15:50:15 * ais523 laughs at ehird
15:50:25 <ehird> i'll take that as a good thing
15:50:35 * AnMaster laughs at the act of laughing
15:59:50 <oklopol> yeah ehird is pretty ridiculous
16:00:07 <oklopol> and pizza is pretty good
16:00:48 <ais523> oklopol: I thought you were a noodle fan/

16:19:59 <ais523> hmm... this laptop probably doesn't have one either
16:20:08 <ais523> pity, serial's by far the best simple connection for implementing by hand

17:10:19 <GregorR> For fniger? Where's MY 92 900 000?!
17:10:28 <oerjan> "Resultater 1 - 10 av ca. 108 000 000 for finger."
17:10:32 <oerjan> wtf?
17:11:04 <oerjan> apparently people really _do_ spell that bad :D
17:11:38 <GregorR> Is a resultater something that resultates?
17:12:57 <oerjan> not really.
17:12:58 <oklopol> no that would clearly be "resultator"
17:13:07 <oerjan> resultat = en:result
17:13:30 <oerjan> (noun)
17:13:45 <oerjan> en:result (v) = no:resultere
17:14:05 <GregorR> Result isn't a verb :P
17:14:11 <oklopol> yes it is
17:14:25 <GregorR> Oh, yes it is ;P
17:14:28 <GregorR> That results in failure
17:14:38 <oklopol> oh you *were* serious
17:14:42 <GregorR> My attempt to classify the word "result" resulted in an improper classification.
17:14:43 <oklopol> good, was worried there for a sec
17:14:59 <oerjan> me too
17:15:22 <ais523> do norwegian verbs really end in "ere", like Latin verbs often do?
17:15:31 <GregorR> Sorry, my mouth was watering because the healthy human baby truck was driving by.
17:15:35 <GregorR> So I wasn't thinking straight.
17:15:39 <oerjan> no, only those stolen from latin.
17:16:01 <oerjan> also, it's -ere even if latin has -[aei]re
17:16:06 <oklopol> GregorR: don't worry we all think homosexually every now and then.
17:16:23 <GregorR> oklopol: A) That would be pedastry, B) I'm thinking more about cannibalism.
17:16:25 <oklopol> especially when there's babies involved
17:16:28 <oerjan> similar to german
17:16:55 <oklopol> GregorR: why would it be pedastry?

17:18:26 <oklopol> GregorR: i suggest sleeping, your status in my eyes is changing rapidly!
17:18:36 <mib_zv88py> i can't get plan9 to recognize my keyboard, even if I use a usb one and boot through grub, which SHOULD be legacy-bios-emulating thus exposing it as a ps2
17:18:39 <mib_zv88py> but ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no

17:21:27 <ehird_> i wanna make a game solvable by computers only via ai or prime factoring
17:21:53 <ais523> ehird_: you use computers a lot for someone who hates them as much as you do
17:22:01 <ais523> I have to admit to actually liking computers
17:22:21 <ehird_> ais523: they have potential

17:39:47 <oklopol> hye
17:40:09 <oerjan> hay
17:41:08 <ehird_> oklopol: your OS willen be written in oklotalk right? i seem to remember you saying oklotalk was only oklotalk if it had the oklotalk os
17:42:26 <oklopol> it's pretty much built on oklotalk, although the systems version is slightly safer :)
17:42:56 <ehird_> oklopol: wait, oklotalk is _safer_ at the os level?
17:42:59 <ehird_> lol wat :D
17:43:02 <oklopol> i mean
17:43:44 <oklopol> safer than the version of oklotalk that's just oklotalk. the actual programming language oklotalk has a few "features" that don't really suit oses that well.
17:43:54 <ehird_> o
17:43:58 <ehird_> 07.11.07:14:10:11 <oklopol> would be cool to get aroused by CA

17:44:05 <oklopol> well it would!
17:44:16 <ehird_> completely out of context by the way
17:44:27 <oklopol> you don't need context for that
17:44:58 <ehird_> 03:34:15 <AnMaster> hm I just got a great idea for how to optimise brainfuck a bit better
17:45:00 <ehird_> 03:34:29 <AnMaster> probably someone already thought of it
17:45:01 <ehird_> 03:35:22 <AnMaster> my idea is, you can replace ++ and -- with set constant sometimes, for example if that cell have had a [-] on it just before and there have been no loops with unbalanced <> in it
17:45:06 <ehird_> I love anmaster's obvious "great ideas"
17:45:48 <ais523> ehird_: you misread that idea, probably
17:45:53 <ais523> it's more than the usual runlength stuff
17:45:55 <ais523> but not by that much
17:45:56 <ehird_> I know
17:46:07 <ehird_> it's very obvious and most compilers worth their salt ever do it

17:48:35 <oerjan> it's the oklons in his brain that do it.
17:48:42 <ehird_> oklopol: why did you say that

17:54:31 <oklopol> yeah
17:54:40 <ais523> ehird_: yes, and it ended up that you were just reinventing INTERCAL?
17:54:43 <ehird_> i'm like, gonna try that again
17:54:50 <oklopol> then again, i remember everything, even the made up stuff.
17:57:12 <oerjan> yeah like the time you rode a unicorn
17:57:35 <oklopol> yeah that was a lot of fun
17:57:47 <ais523> I rode a dragon once
17:57:50 <ais523> but it was only in NetHack
17:57:53 <ais523> still loads of fun thoug
17:57:55 <ais523> *though
17:58:11 <oklopol> what's the command for riding a dragon in nethack?
17:58:16 <ais523> #ride

18:00:16 <ehird_> 3
18:00:18 <ehird_> ?
18:00:45 <oklopol> i would've said both
18:00:46 <oklopol> ...
18:00:47 <oklopol> err
18:00:51 <ehird_> yeah um
18:00:52 <oklopol> that's probably what you meant.
18:00:53 <ehird_> that's what i meant
18:00:54 <ehird_> :P
18:01:05 <oklopol> it is? oh i see.
18:01:05 <ehird_> oklopol: so r magiaclly becomes 3 when you goto into the if?
18:01:13 <oklopol> hah :D
18:01:30 <oklopol> yeah it satisfies the if's condition somehow
18:01:58 <oklopol> cool. you can have declarative "satisfy this" expressions.
18:01:58 <oerjan> eek
18:02:16 <oklopol> something all languages should have btw
18:02:26 <ais523> oh no, this is getting bad...
18:02:27 <ehird_> its less goto-y though.
18:02:30 <ais523> that's uncomputable
18:02:41 <ehird_> indeed
18:02:46 <oklopol> who cares
18:02:50 -!- Judofyr has joined.
18:02:54 <ais523> while(i is not a solution to the Reimann hypothesis) {i++}; bar: print 5;
18:03:09 <ais523> presumably you can't goto bar unless it's possible to reach it via ordinary program flow
18:03:14 <ehird_> oh, definitely not
18:03:20 <ehird_> you can goto bar
18:03:26 <ais523> err... ok?
18:03:29 <ehird_> yes
18:03:31 <oklopol> just infloop if you don't know the answer. all programs can refuse to halt, it's not like anyone's bitching about implementing tc languages anyway.
18:03:31 <ais523> just not if it's inside a loop?
18:03:31 <ehird_> it was just ifs
18:03:33 <ehird_> inside them
18:03:35 <ehird_> i dunno
18:03:38 <ehird_> I kind of like not fixing them

18:05:44 <ehird_> 06:55:37 <oklopol> yes, and 4 of them are on this channel
18:05:45 <ehird_> omg the start of the meme :D
18:05:47 <ehird_> err
18:05:49 <ehird_> truth statements
18:05:50 <ehird_> I mean
18:06:12 <oerjan> meme's are true. that's why they are so scary.
18:06:33 <ehird_> the are true belonging to meme?
18:06:35 <ehird_> oerjan: wut
18:07:02 <oerjan> i saw potential. i fulfilled it.
18:07:15 <oerjan> aka i refused to fix my spelling.
18:07:25 <oklopol> so ehird_
18:07:31 <oklopol> did you decide to read the logs?
18:08:05 <oerjan> today has been an interesting part of the great debate: are the logs invented or discovered?
18:08:22 <oklopol> :D
18:08:42 <oklopol> seriously make a comic.
18:08:43 <ehird_> oklopol: i always do
18:09:27 <ehird_> 07:16:13 <fungot> optbot: oh :p. i think i've gotten ( lambdafnord body) to ( call/ cc...) ( generate-temporaries ( syntax( var)
18:09:36 <oklopol> i mean i would read it.
18:09:39 <ehird_> getting lambda fnord body to call/cc is painful, you need to generate temporaries syntax var
18:09:48 <oklopol> except if is sucked, then i'd be like why did i make him draw this ridiculous crap and tell you you suck.
18:09:52 <oklopol> but i mean otherwise
18:09:57 <oerjan> lambdafnord for dysfunctional programming
18:10:38 <oerjan> hm wait fungot should not merge fnords with neighboring words, should it
18:10:56 <ehird_> someone said lambdafnord
18:10:57 <ehird_> obviously
18:11:09 <oerjan> but they must have said it twice
18:11:22 <oerjan> or otherwise fungot would have replaced it by fnord
18:11:27 <ehird_> lambdafnord lambdafnord
18:11:49 <ehird_> wait no
18:11:51 <oerjan> hm would that cause fungot to loop?
18:11:53 <ehird_> oerjan: it was my terminal
18:11:58 <ehird_> eliminated the space
18:12:01 <ehird_> between lambda and fnord
18:12:03 <oerjan> aha
18:12:14 <Corun> There's only like two meems in #esoteric right?
18:12:17 <oerjan> it's probably got a fnord defect
18:12:26 <ehird_> Corun: way more
18:12:27 <ehird_> more like 5
18:12:30 <oerjan> Corun: yes, me'em
18:12:38 <Corun> Ore-some

18:56:19 <ehird_> 10:41:53 <lament> "to return bottom" means "to die horribly"
18:56:21 <ehird_> 10:41:57 <oklopol> :P

18:57:45 <ehird_> 10:57:39 <pikhq> oerjan: Stop with the Lambda.
18:57:51 <ehird_> pikhq is so hostile whenever functional programming is brought up.
18:58:38 <ais523> interesting...
18:59:43 <ehird_> oklopol> ackermann's growth is mean, it grows so fast i can't see the nice big numbers, because they're so big the program crashes
19:00:17 <oklopol> well that is a problem with them.
19:02:57 <ehird_> 11:51:46 <oerjan> hm, i would advise you against that attitude here. one of our resident 14-year olds seems frightfully smart.
19:02:59 <ehird_> who was it
19:03:04 <ehird_> this was in 2007
19:03:07 <ehird_> ihope?
19:03:18 <ehird_> 11:52:18 <oklopol> yeah, i know :\
19:03:20 <ehird_> 11:52:52 <oklopol> that's exactly where i got that exact age :)
19:04:23 <oklopol> ihop
19:04:24 <oklopol> e
19:04:51 <ehird_> 12:52:22 <oklopol> maintaining old projects mostly, i mostly design my new language, oklotalk, i'm pretty obsessed about it
19:04:53 <ehird_> 12:52:47 <oklopol> but i'll soon be failing at implementing it :)
19:04:54 <oklopol> was that my first convo?
19:04:54 <ehird_> "soon"
19:04:56 <ehird_> = "next year"
19:05:00 <ehird_> oklopol: wut, no
19:05:04 <ehird_> er maybe
19:05:10 <oklopol> i mean that resident 14... thing
19:05:18 <ais523> how is oklotalk coming along, anyway?
19:05:25 <ais523> also, okokokokokoko
19:05:26 <ehird_> ais523: it died to J, then got revived
19:05:34 <ehird_> because oklopol discovered jdidn't do arbitrary precision numerics
19:05:35 <oklopol> it's died to a lot of things
19:05:37 <ehird_> and almost died.
19:05:44 <ehird_> and so put oklotalk back on the todo list
19:05:44 <oklopol> and primarily it's died because university.
19:06:17 <oklopol> although what ehird_ said is the official reason ofc
19:06:24 <oklopol> or official story dunno
19:06:28 <ais523> ehird_: why the underscore?
19:06:57 <ehird_> bouncer
19:07:00 <ehird_> err wait
19:07:02 -!- ehird_ has changed nick to ehird.
19:07:05 <ehird> dunno lol.
19:08:00 <ehird> so, 40-bit pointers
19:08:01 <ehird> discuss
19:08:15 <oklopol> 39 is better
19:08:20 <ehird> no 40
19:08:25 <oklopol> NO
19:08:28 <ehird> 40
19:08:36 <oklopol> oh alright.
19:09:06 <oklopol> ais523: anyway oklotalk has not seen any actual development after last september.
19:09:20 <ehird> 2008
19:09:21 <ehird> ?
19:09:29 <oklopol> but that's irrelevant in that no one has seen the stuff developed sofar anyway..
19:10:19 <ehird> 16:46:04 <Figs> what is the point of regex?
19:10:20 <ehird> 16:46:33 <SevenInchBread> ...
19:10:21 <ehird> 16:46:39 <SevenInchBread> to... match patterns.
19:10:23 <ehird> 16:47:06 <Figs> ok...
19:11:04 <ehird> 16:55:49 <oklopol> AND i dl'd cube 2 in french, but didn't want to do the work again, so i watched it 3 times hoping i'd just learn french
19:11:17 <oklopol> xD
19:11:18 <ais523> that sounds very oklopol
19:11:52 <olsner> oklopol: so did you learn french by that? :P
19:12:37 <oklopol> i learned je m'appelle claude!
19:12:50 <oklopol> (of course i didn't learn to type it)
19:13:22 <oklopol> it starts with a chick telling her name, although i'm not actually sure claude is a girl's name, that may actually be from friends.
19:13:29 <oklopol> but je m'appelle was there anyway
19:13:59 <oklopol> anyway i didn't actually miss much, 2 has least story
19:14:25 <olsner> so, three words from one movie, watch 30000 more french movies and you'll know all the words, I guess
19:14:36 <oklopol> :)
19:17:32 <ehird> anyone know a file to play raw audio files on lunix
19:17:34 <ehird> tool
19:19:38 <olsner> play plays just about anything
19:19:43 <olsner> as long as you know the format
19:22:20 <ehird> ehird@fhtagn:~/code/musak$ play -r 22 -t raw -8 -u musak.raw
19:22:21 <ehird> fails
19:22:23 <ehird> :,
19:22:24 <ehird> :<
19:23:07 <ehird> 10:04:38 <oklopol> i just realized Gamegirl has the word "girl" in it
19:23:09 <ehird> 10:04:41 <lament> we're smart bots.
19:23:10 <ehird> 10:04:45 * oklopol is a bot that penetrates
19:23:12 <ehird> 10:04:49 <CakeProphet> ...
19:23:13 <ehird> 10:04:56 <oklopol> ...
19:23:14 <ehird> 10:05:05 <oklopol> like... metphorically
19:23:16 <ehird> 10:05:10 <oklopol> *metaphorically
19:23:29 <ehird> 10:05:13 <CakeProphet> ...I see.
19:23:31 <ehird> 10:05:32 * lament slowly backs away from oklopol
19:23:32 <ehird> 10:05:57 <oklopol> i'm < 1000 km long, don't worry 8|
19:23:34 <ehird> 10:06:20 <lament> length can be measured in several ways
19:23:35 <ehird> 10:06:27 <lament> i don't know which one you chose...
19:23:37 <ehird> 10:06:27 --- part: Gamegirl left #esoteric
19:24:52 <oklopol> :D
19:25:37 <oklopol> well i am!
19:26:01 <ehird> 10:43:52 <oklopol> this one day i had this weird urge to havea callstack, but i said to myself "don't you have another callstack, you just had one last week" and i was like "fuck you"
19:26:03 <ehird> 10:44:02 <oklopol> you know
19:27:07 <olsner> oklopol: your weirdness is greatly amusing
19:27:37 <oklopol> ...did that one have a context?
19:28:00 <ehird> yeah, gamegirl came in
19:28:03 <ehird> and lament claimed we're all dead bots
19:28:11 <oklopol> ah
19:28:19 <oklopol> so ehird
19:28:26 <oklopol> you found an uncorrected typo
19:28:34 <ehird> wait, where
19:28:35 <oklopol> this is a big day for me.
19:28:39 <oklopol> *have a
19:28:42 <ehird> nop
19:28:45 <ehird> that was my terminal
19:28:47 <ehird> fucking up again
19:28:48 <ehird> :D
19:28:50 <oklopol> ah
19:28:53 <oklopol> good :)
19:28:55 * oklopol is perfect
19:28:55 <ehird> I TRICKED YOU INTO CORRECTING
19:28:57 <ehird> BWAHAHAHAHA
19:29:16 <oklopol> no you didn't, i was actually fooling *you* here.
19:29:24 <ehird> :(
19:29:30 <ehird> i don't believe you
19:29:42 <oklopol> you think i wouldn't remember an uncorrected typo
19:30:28 <ehird> <bobbens> i have two questions about bf, is the datainitialized to 0? how do you print stuff? kernel calls?
19:30:31 <ehird> kernel calls XD
19:30:44 <ais523> a) yes, and b) PSOX
19:30:45 * ais523 runs
19:30:50 <ehird> AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEee
19:31:05 <ehird> <oklopol> kernel calls?
19:31:13 <ehird> 11:54:48 <oklopol> ! will call asm INT n, where n is the value of the current cell.
19:31:16 <ehird> oklopol the trickster.
19:31:31 <ais523> that wouldn't be particularly useful unless you had control over the registers
19:31:36 <ehird> <erider> ! is an addition command? I have only seen the 8 commands
19:31:39 <ehird> OH HE FOUND YOU OUT
19:31:49 <ehird> 11:57:56 <oklopol> sorry, i just mislead people asking advice:<
19:31:50 <ehird> :DD
19:31:56 <ais523> anyway, it's easy to print kernel calls in BF
19:32:01 <ais523> actually doing kernel calls might be difficult
19:32:09 <ais523> but you can print them out to the screen easily enough
19:32:27 <ehird> 12:03:21 <Pikhq> CakeProphet: Sure it can (although the *implementation* of such things is lacking).
19:32:30 <ehird> 12:03:38 <Pikhq> One merely needs to implement PESOIX, or something similar, and voila.
19:32:35 <ehird> PSOX PSOX PSOX PSOX PSOX
19:32:44 <ehird> (5 PSOXs is the correct way to yell PSOX repeatedly)
19:33:49 <ais523> ^ul (PSOX )::*:**S
19:33:58 <ais523> fungot?
19:34:00 <oklopol> "<oklopol> sorry, i just mislead people asking advice:<" well this just sounds like plain bad english. of course maybe my intentionally simplified english sounds like that from an outsider's perspective.
19:34:01 <ais523> where's fungot gone?
19:34:06 <ehird> fizzie is dead.
19:34:09 <ehird> I'm sorry to have to tell you.
19:34:27 <ehird> oklopol: that's correct english
19:34:37 <oklopol> although i guess you can "ask advice"
19:34:40 <oklopol> i just wouldn't use it
19:34:43 <oklopol> yeah
19:35:49 <oklopol> it maybe be the "advice:<" that makes it look clumsy.
19:35:53 <oklopol> ...
19:35:54 <oklopol> *may be
19:35:54 <ehird> it was
19:35:57 <ehird> "advice :<"
19:35:59 <oklopol> i know
19:36:09 <oklopol> STOP TELLING ME THINGS I ALREADY KNOW OR DON'T KNOW
19:36:31 <olsner> are there things you do neither?
19:36:39 <oklopol> nope!
19:36:46 <oklopol> that's a polite way to tell someone to stfu
19:37:11 <olsner> you mean, an obscure way, so that they don't realized they've been insulted
19:37:54 <oklopol> that's pretty much the definition of polite.
19:38:02 <oklopol> insulting people in ways they don't understand
19:38:17 <ais523> oklopol: I love tht definition
19:38:21 <olsner> need food, brb
19:39:03 <oklopol> you can do it for many things, "friends, the people you only insult behind their backs"
19:39:13 <ehird> hmm, I broke my kde taskbar
19:40:20 <oklopol> hmm. i'm feeling a bit too lucid atm
19:40:51 <AnMaster> night all...
19:40:58 <ais523> night AnMaster
19:41:00 <ais523> or rather, evening
19:41:03 <ais523> it's pretty early for night
19:41:23 <AnMaster> ais523, going to bed early due to flu (probably, or something equally terrible...)
19:41:27 <ais523> ok
19:42:47 <oklopol> flus are for losers.
19:43:35 <oklopol> only losers get sick *sniffs and wraps blanket tighter around self*
19:47:44 <ehird> ais523: in kde, hold down control-windowskey
19:47:47 <ehird> see stars go around cursor
19:47:49 <ehird> o_O
19:48:17 <ais523> ehird: Compiz does that too, but it's not enabled by default
19:48:26 <ehird> ah, I guess kde is using compiz
19:48:34 <ais523> also, windows key = "super" in Linux terminology
19:48:47 <ais523> and AFAIR, kde doesn't use compiz, it has its own implementation of the same things
19:51:19 <ehird> !!!!
19:51:21 <ehird> [19:50] <plopmania> ehird: it so happened, that oklopol turned 20 just today.
19:51:25 <ehird> note: #vjn, probably total lies.
19:51:34 <SimonRC> http://home.earthlink.net/~misaak/jackbean.html argh, so many puns
19:51:44 <ehird> but if not
19:51:48 <ehird> world ending in soon times.
19:51:52 <oklopol> it is
19:52:00 <ehird> oklopol: is lies?
19:52:02 <ehird> ic
19:52:02 <ais523> oklopol's about the same age as me I think, probably slightly younger
19:52:05 <oklopol> "lies"
19:52:07 <ehird> ais523: he's 19
19:52:15 <oklopol> it was a joke you didn't get for obvious reasons
19:52:22 <ehird> when he turns 20, the world will end because there's no way oklopol could be 20, i mean he's so... 19
19:52:23 <ehird> oklopol: :DD
19:55:25 -!- Hiato has quit ("Leaving.").
19:55:53 <ais523> ehird: you mean oklopol will turn 20 in 2012?

21:18:30 <ais523> hi ashdasd
21:18:47 <ais523> which channel did you say it in this time?
21:19:04 <ashdasd> I linked to http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/1/vi in #emacs
21:19:10 <ais523> hahaha
21:19:38 <ashdasd> The resolution is to kill my bouncer so I don't see people insult me :P
21:19:52 <ais523> also, the response format for ctcp version is NOTICE nickyourerespondingto :^AVERSION put version number here^A
21:20:25 <ais523> [CTCP] Received CTCP-ehird reply from ashdasd: v13.
21:20:26 <ais523> almost...
21:21:49 <ais523> also, pasting that in #emacs was a stroke of genius
21:21:54 <ais523> how did they react?
21:22:13 <oklopol> i have a hunch he doesn't know
21:22:29 <ais523> because they kicked him? or because he parted in panic?
21:22:32 <ashdasd> yeah I quit it too quickly :-(
21:22:46 <oklopol> "ashdasd: The resolution is to kill my bouncer so I don't see people insult me :P"
21:22:47 <ashdasd> I am very shy round foreign channels :P
21:23:01 <oklopol> ashdazed
21:23:17 <ashdasd> I should just run a bot on those channels so I can spy on them post-quit
21:23:27 <ais523> like you do with ##nomic, you mean?
21:23:42 <ashdasd> hm?
21:23:50 <ashdasd> I don't read ##nomic.
21:23:56 <ais523> I don't believe you
21:24:04 <ashdasd> that's not my problem
21:25:07 * oklopol mutters something about ais523 being such an ehird towards ehird nowadays ;)
21:25:13 <ais523> heh
21:25:19 <oklopol> need to go eat now
21:25:31 <oklopol> if the dog starts barking, please tell it to shut up, since it's late.
21:25:51 <ais523> what, the dog or just it in general is late?
21:26:03 <oklopol> i mean
21:26:05 <oklopol> ppl sleep
21:26:14 <oklopol> so a dog barking would upset my neighs
21:27:04 <oklopol> ->
21:33:17 <ashdasd> god, christel is annoying.
21:33:24 <ais523> really?
21:33:47 <ashdasd> can't she just get to the point with the bloomin' notices to every-freaking-one instead of inserting rubbish jokes every 3 words
21:37:19 <ashdasd> When i googled for something and found entire transcripts of #emacs, i was appalled and stopped joining #emacs. This stinks of Big Brother. when i write on this wiki, i expect it to be publicly available. but i was naive enough to think that an irc session would be too transient to get indexed. my mistake, but it wonb
21:37:23 <ashdasd> ^fail.
21:37:45 <ais523> with all the people who could be logging, one probably will be
21:39:09 <ashdasd> I should set up a sekrit channel logging bot and have it go in all channels it finds.
21:39:41 <ais523> ashdasd: Freenode will very ban you if you do that
21:39:44 <ais523> and I'll agree with them
21:39:58 <ashdasd> i'll claim to have accidentally let the log directory open.
21:40:20 <ais523> they ought not to believe you
21:40:24 <ais523> given your track record, at least
21:40:32 <ashdasd> they won't know it's me. tor.
21:41:12 <ais523> does tor even work on freenode?
21:41:16 <ashdasd> yep.
21:41:32 <ashdasd> plus, linking the logs to the bot would be near-impossible. it'd pose as human.

21:44:46 <lament> but there was a huge scandal
21:44:56 <ashdasd> that's only because people found out,.
21:45:05 <ashdasd> there are so many idlers on IRC.
21:45:16 <lament> yes, which is why i'm saying people have already done that
21:45:32 <ashdasd> if there was a scandal, the performers are crap.
21:46:13 <lament> their site doesn't even come up in search for irc log

21:49:43 <ehird> well yeah, they did then...
21:49:43 <ais523> yes
21:49:50 <ehird> surely you've seen me on it since then?
21:49:52 <ehird> @eso-std.org?
21:50:05 <ehird> ... which, by the way, expires today
21:52:40 <ehird> http://alpha61.com/primenumbershittingbear/ it's back!
21:53:31 <ais523> ehird: how long do you think it'll be squatted for once it expires?
21:53:42 <ehird> ais523: I doubt it will be squatted
21:54:04 <ais523> maybe I'll start up my own ESO some time
21:54:11 <ehird> who said ESO died?
21:54:11 <ais523> running under ais523 principles rather than ehird principles
21:54:16 <ais523> it might actually get something done that way
21:54:21 <ehird> heh
21:54:25 <ais523> and ESO has been effectively dead forever, because it's never done anything
21:54:32 <ais523> other than argue about what sort of markup to use
21:54:36 <ehird> actually, eso-1 got pretty far.
21:54:56 <ehird> ais523: http://esoteric.sange.fi/ENSI/

21:55:38 <ehird> i started eso because I like bikeshedding

21:58:03 <ehird> erm, http://esoteric.sange.fi/ENSI/brainfuck-1.3.txt is pretty serious
21:58:18 <ehird> not very, but it's a usable setandard
21:58:21 <ais523> not really
21:58:26 <ais523> it doesn't even address the EOF problem

22:12:32 <ehird> nope.
22:12:53 <ais523> a body rebooting would be weird
22:13:08 <olsner> "*** Body going down for reboot NOW"

22:19:10 <ais523> ah, yes
22:19:17 <ais523> sorry, it's 10pm and I'm not thinking straight
22:19:38 <ais523> oerjan: so in other words, you think you have a good name?
22:19:54 <oerjan> ais523: you're overanalyzing
22:20:22 <oerjan> it's just a nonsense phrase i remember from somewhere
22:22:34 <oerjan> ehird: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FP_programming_language ?
22:22:46 <ehird> is it impossible to add holes to FP?
22:23:16 <ehird> "⊥ is the undefined value, or bottom" <- lame.
22:24:01 <oerjan> ehird: um every tc functional language has bottom, why not name it?

22:25:06 <ehird> http://xkcd.com/545/
22:25:37 <ais523> ok, that's ridiculous
22:25:59 <ais523> if that ever happened, I think it would be a fairly good bet that the article would be protected
22:26:05 <ehird> to which word count? :-D
22:26:11 <ais523> who knows?
22:26:15 <ais523> probably there'd be a wheel war
22:26:20 <ehird> I'd lobby it for deletion
22:26:23 <ehird> to see what happens
22:26:26 <ais523> then it would have an even word count
22:26:28 <ais523> due to having no words
22:26:38 <ais523> I think it would be more fun to leave the number of words ambiguous
22:26:38 <ehird> ais523: does a deleted article exist? no
22:26:41 <ehird> it can't have a set of words
22:26:41 <ais523> say by adding in a nbdp
22:26:44 <ais523> *nbsp
22:26:44 <ehird> there is no such set
22:26:48 <ais523> and hyphenated words

22:27:14 <oerjan> ais523: does wp have templates that can depend on who's watching it? (probably)
22:28:06 <ais523> oerjan: no, although the feature's been requested every now and then
22:28:12 <ais523> the problem is caching
22:28:21 <ais523> you can use CSS to depend on which skin they use
22:28:34 <oerjan> ah.
22:28:39 <ais523> or do things that change every time the article's refreshed
22:28:46 <ais523> that's what they did on the US presedential election day
22:28:54 <ais523> they set up the Main Page to show featured articles about both candidates
22:29:09 <ais523> but the order depended on when the page had last been purged, and it's purged quite a lot

22:47:40 <ehird> Yo dawg, I heard you like fractals so I put a sierpinski gasket in your sierpinski gasket so you can triangle while you triangle
22:47:53 <ais523> where does the yo dawg thing come from?
22:48:01 <ais523> what started the meme? what was the original phrase?
22:48:07 <ehird> allow me to link you
22:48:39 <ehird> tl;dr: Xzibit is a rapper. He has a show on MTV, "Pimp My Ride".

22:49:07 <ehird> This was then generalized
22:49:36 <oerjan> also, some nitpickers point out it's supposedly "Sup dawg"
22:49:44 <ehird> indeed.
22:49:48 <ehird> http://images.encyclopediadramatica.com/images/d/d6/Yoyoyodawg.jpg
22:50:48 <oerjan> also, i don't visit that site any more.
22:50:56 <ehird> that link is sfw.

22:51:12 <ehird> indeed.
22:51:19 <ais523> it's quite possibly blocked, and you get in trouble for setting off the blocker
22:51:28 <ehird> er, blocked where?

22:52:02 <ais523> I've already set it off once and had to explain
22:52:10 <ais523> for some bizarre reason, they blocked the text of the X11 licence

22:54:00 <ehird> did they question you first, though?
22:54:04 <ais523> luckily, I'm friends with the people who administer the thing (who don't like it either0

23:10:14 <ehird> GregorR: the basic idea is: make solving it = breaking RSA (that is, primey factory)

23:10:28 <ehird> = WHERE'S YOUR AI NOW

23:11:40 <ehird> with actual skill levels and the like, just as normal games
23:11:47 <bsmntbombdood> the number just have to be small enough
23:12:02 <oklopol> o
23:12:06 <ais523> okoko
23:12:07 <ehird> bsmntbombdood: point: missed.
23:12:31 <ais523> ehird: I don't think that any way of organising the data, humans will be any good at solving RSA
23:12:33 <bsmntbombdood> no
23:12:37 <bsmntbombdood> your point was stupid
23:12:42 <ehird> bsmntbombdood: waah.
23:12:47 <ais523> by the way, new scientist's reporting that a 28-bit quantum computer has been made
23:12:50 <ehird> ais523: the idea isn't to have humans solve RSA.
23:12:54 <ais523> (that's 28 quantum bits of memory /altogether/)
23:12:54 <oklopol> i was gonna say something...
23:12:58 <ehird> the idea is that for computers to solve it effectively,
23:13:01 <ehird> they have to solve RSA.
23:13:12 <oklopol> ais523: cool, did they factor 20 yet?
23:13:14 <ais523> and that there are plans for a 128-bit quantum computer being made along the same principle
23:13:16 <ehird> or else be strong ai
23:13:18 <ais523> oklopol: 20's even
23:13:25 <oklopol> ais523: ..so?
23:13:28 <ais523> I think it could factor 21, though
23:13:34 <ais523> oklopol: so Shor's algorithm fails on even numbers
23:13:36 <oklopol> i don't know anything about shor's
23:13:45 <oklopol> yeah okay assumed but didn't actually know
23:14:00 <bsmntbombdood> rsa numbers have only 2 factors anyway
23:14:24 <oklopol> well. 21 is the next logical step
23:16:26 <bsmntbombdood> is factorization np complete?
23:16:32 <ais523> no
23:16:32 <SimonRC> no
23:16:35 <ais523> it's polynomial time
23:16:44 <ais523> you can do it in O(n) trivially
23:16:48 <ais523> but that's rather slow on big numbers
23:17:19 <SimonRC> isn't the complexity of factorisation usually expressed in terms of the size of the number?
23:17:19 <bsmntbombdood> ...
23:17:24 <SimonRC> not its value
23:17:24 <bsmntbombdood> yeah
23:17:32 <ais523> well, O(2^n) then
23:17:43 <oklopol> it's pseudo-polynomial
23:17:48 <ais523> personally, though, I think n should be the number
23:17:49 <ais523> else what would you call it?
23:17:51 <oklopol> it shouldn't.
23:18:21 <oklopol> if it's the number, it's pseudo-polynomial, it's not polynomial on input size, it's polynomial on some invariant about input.
23:18:29 <oerjan> hm theory: the universe is actually simulated on a classical computer, using looping to simulate quantum effects. when quantum computers are built the number of loop iterations needed to simulate them goes asymptotical. the universe thus grinds to a halt on Dec 22, 2012 :D
23:18:29 <oklopol> in this case whatever number it represents
23:18:42 <bsmntbombdood> but if p=np, then you can factor in polynomial time in size right?
23:19:02 <ais523> oerjan: that's an insane theory
23:19:10 <ais523> also, people are getting the 2012 thing all wrong
23:19:22 <ais523> why is that particular doomsday date the one people seem to focus on, ayway?
23:19:23 <ais523> n
23:19:31 <ehird> i've said this so many times to you
23:19:34 <ehird> THEY'RE NEW AGERS!
23:19:36 <ehird> THEY DON'T USE THEIR BRAIN!
23:19:42 <oklopol> ais523: i think it's because i watched that documentary.
23:19:45 <ehird> THEY'RE IDIOTS WHO WILL CROWD AROUND ANYTHING "SPIRITUAL"!
23:19:49 <ais523> but why that one in /particular/?
23:19:52 <oerjan> ais523: because it's the next one up with some kind of rationale
23:19:52 <oklopol> bsmntbombdood: well sure
23:19:59 <ehird> BECAUSE THE MAYANS WERE CLEVER AND HAD "TECHNOLOGY"!
23:20:04 <ehird> AND THEY PREDICTED IT VAGUELY AND OMNIOUSLY!
23:20:07 <ehird> IT MUST BE TRUE!
23:20:10 <bsmntbombdood> does p!=np imply that factorization is hard?
23:20:10 <ehird> oops, capslock.
23:20:13 <ehird> manual capslock!
23:20:31 <ais523> caps lock is cruise control for cool?
23:20:38 <ehird> cruise control for 2012
23:20:38 <ais523> (the previous line was typed with caps lock on)
23:20:52 <oklopol> bsmntbombdood: i don't know whether it's np-hard. everyone else does
23:20:59 <ehird> CAPSLOCK + SHIFT = UPPERCASE ON OS X
23:21:17 <oklopol> more like i don't remember, because when i last looked at factorization, i didn't know what it meant.
23:21:21 <oklopol> i mean np-hardness
23:21:28 <ais523> ehird: why?
23:21:32 <ais523> that's a bit ridiculous
23:21:47 <ais523> WHAT IF YOU WANT TO TYPE A lot BUT WITH A FEW lowercase WORDS OR lETTERS IN?
23:21:54 <oerjan> bsmntbombdood: no, but p=np would imply it's easy
23:22:03 <ehird> ais523: DON"T USE CAPSLOCK
23:22:06 <oerjan> (well, polynomially easy)
23:22:06 <ais523> and before you say that's ridiculous, that was typical style for earlier versions of BASIC
23:22:16 <oklopol> oh wait
23:22:19 <ais523> and shift+caps lock was capital there too, annoyingly
23:22:29 <oklopol> in fact i definitely should've known it's not been proven np-hard.
23:22:33 <ais523> I still mostly used caps lock when writing basic, though, as everything had to be capital but variable names
23:23:12 <oerjan> no one knows whether it's np-hard, i should think
23:23:16 <oklopol> yeah
23:23:52 <oklopol> i don't see any reason to use lowercase except that many dislike uppercase on irc
23:24:06 <ais523> lowercase is easier to read for long periods of time
23:24:38 <oklopol> i don't believe that
23:25:30 <oklopol> they also say monospaced fonts are harder to read
23:26:15 <oklopol> and that is complete bullshit
23:26:28 <ehird> no it isnt'
23:26:32 <ehird> (INTERNET ARGUMENTS)
23:26:47 <oerjan> INTERN ET ARGUMENTS
23:27:36 <oklopol> is so.
23:28:11 <oklopol> there's actually a course on quantum computing in our uni, would be one way to learn shor's algo, i'm too lazy to read the wiki page anyway.
23:28:34 <ais523> oklopol: it wasn't until after my course on engineering that I understood Shor's algorithm
23:28:38 <ais523> it's based on Fourier stuff
23:28:52 <ais523> and all the descriptions of it I've seen assume you already know how that works
23:29:16 <oklopol> i might know fourier stuff, i but i don't know whether i do.
23:29:24 <oklopol> *-i
23:29:54 <oerjan> you have to get your numbers fourier before they can be shorn
23:29:59 <oklopol> what does "engineering" mean for a course?
23:30:15 <oklopol> "shorn", hah
23:30:39 * oerjan is surprised to still be alive after that one
23:31:13 <oklopol> because it was that bad?
23:33:20 <oerjan> well, clearly it killed everyone else
23:34:10 <oklopol> clearly
23:34:59 <oerjan> maybe you were saved by not getting all of it, or something
23:37:17 <oklopol> i think i just liked "shorn"
23:37:45 <oklopol> ais523: what is an engineering course? :)
23:37:55 <ais523> oklopol: well it's electronic engineering in my case
23:38:14 <oklopol> i have an electronics course next wednesday
23:38:20 <oklopol> err i mean the one after that
23:38:24 <oklopol> and
23:38:26 <oklopol> i also mean exam
23:38:27 <oklopol> .
23:39:20 <oklopol> also calculus and software engineering and some ai, should probably try to cut down on the irc chatter.
23:44:12 <ehird> so guys reiserfs4
23:44:18 <ehird> I hear it's gonna be a killer filesystem
23:44:30 * oerjan swats ehird to death -----###
23:44:31 <SimonRC> that joke is so last year
23:44:37 <ehird> SimonRC: i know but it's still funny
23:44:41 <ehird> oerjan: dammit Hans!
23:44:44 <ehird> I was joking!
23:44:51 <oerjan> and i wasn't?
23:44:52 <SimonRC> apparently Reiser is having a bad time in prison
23:44:58 <oerjan> also, don't call me Hans
23:45:11 <ehird> SimonRC: ... and?
23:45:52 <oerjan> SimonRC: ... and?
23:46:39 <SimonRC> I can't find where the news article went
23:46:48 <ehird> On 10 January 2009 it was reported that Hans Reiser is recovering after having been beaten up by several prisoners.[52]
23:46:50 <oklopol> oerjan: why not?
23:46:51 <ais523> engineering: it's a bit of programming, a bit of electronics, a bit of maths, and some business management that I hate
23:46:54 <ehird> i feel ... so sorry for him?
23:46:55 <oklopol> does it sound too swedish?
23:47:08 <oerjan> oklopol: because!
23:47:25 <SimonRC> ah, here it is: http://cbs5.com/crime/hans.reiser.attack.2.905257.html
23:48:01 <oerjan> oklopol: oh it's a perfectly normal norwegian name, it's just not mine
23:48:54 <oklopol> maybe it should be.
23:48:54 <oerjan> i've got two cousins with it as first or middle name
23:48:58 -!- ais523 has quit (Remote closed the connection).
23:49:29 <oklopol> and bye ice
23:49:30 <oerjan> (although we don't actually use the latter one)
23:50:31 <oklopol> well middle names are kinda useless
23:51:44 <oerjan> i'm just about the only one on my father's side of the family who _doesn't_ have one...
23:53:16 <oerjan> also, reiser means "travels" in norwegian
