20:49:15  (I was going to add ones for some of the early winners, but it turns out that they lose to even simple programs; I can't think back far enough to create something they beat and still looks plausible)
20:49:29  elliott: test param of qif definitely needs an empty param default
20:49:39  if anim doesn't have a value, {{{anim}}} is literally {{{anim}}}
20:49:51  and {{{anim|}}} is the null string, which is what you probably wanted

20:52:14  yay, it's working now
20:52:14  Just.. weird
20:52:34  what happened there? people engaging in anti-careless strategies?
20:52:48  careless itself is halfway down, it was near the top yesterday
20:53:08  ais523: http://codu.org/eso/bfjoust/in_egobot/reports/report-2011-02-11-05-07.txt
20:53:37  ais523: Since most of my strategies have careless cores, anticareless has done well :P
20:53:41  Gregor: that was a different version of decoytuner than the one you put on the wiki, I think
20:53:57  ais523: Ah; I just checked what was the top, then grabbed the latest thing with that name.
20:54:11  yay, another bug in BFJProg
20:54:12  yep, that version was a turtle, the one you put on the wiki wasn't
20:55:00  I'm quite amazed that we have creative strategy names :P
20:55:28  that's why we need people who aren't ais523 to do well :P
20:55:47  argh, I see the problem
20:55:51  {{BFJProg|foo
20:55:51  I use creative names for my /strategies/ (lock, etc); just not for my /programs/
20:55:54  | abc = def}}
20:56:02  [{{{abc}}} {{{1}}}]
20:56:05  {{{1}}} ends with a newline
20:56:08  Is there a "strip" template? :P
20:56:19  there's no way to remove newlines from template params
20:56:23  you can do foo
20:56:25  =param
20:56:30  I think, not sure
20:56:36  or maybe even foo= on a line and the param on the next
20:56:36  ais523: eh?
20:56:37  I use creative names for my programs (ridiculous and scary is creative, right?), but don't use creative names for my strategies since i just steal.
20:56:45  mediawiki template newline handling is insane
20:56:46  Gregor: "turtle"
20:57:01  well, it's called "careless clear" on the wiki after the first program to be successful with it
20:57:04  elliott: I accidentally reinvented careless with turtle :P
20:57:13  turtle is a better name, though
20:57:18  in fact, I think the terminology seems to be that "turtle" is the program type and "careless" the strategy it uses
20:57:24  haha
20:57:27  i.e. turtles are careless

20:58:41  Hmm, that's a really bad idea, come to think of it
20:58:54  Sgeo_: you might want to put a + after the > so that the loop is actually entered
20:59:05  and might also want to rule-of-nine it
20:59:14  "An obvious modification of slowrush, possibly of an earlier version."
20:59:17  I don't want the loop to be entered until I'm on some value
20:59:22  IIRC "reversi" = "reversed" = flipped polarity
20:59:24  Sgeo_: ah, that makes sense
20:59:28  of slowrush
20:59:38  put > after the 128 then
20:59:39  it might have been of an old version, but IIRC after stealing programs I used to tweak them
20:59:41  Ah, wait, even if I win, I'm going to rush off the edge, aren't I?
20:59:44  so you don't end up oscillating on a 1-valued decoy

21:02:15  or at least some rush polarity'd
21:02:16  Score for Sgeo__dumb_turtle: 16.6
21:02:31  elliott: it alternates polarity on adjacent tape elements, I think
21:02:35  ah
21:02:36  in order to avoid its polarity being detected
21:02:40  is it still on the hill?
21:03:01  yes, in fact it's sixth
21:03:27  because it's a pain to beat when writing defense programs, so people normally don't bother
21:03:31 * elliott saves the template conversion so far
21:03:33  and it does quite well against the prevalent strategies nowadays
21:03:35  now to do the rest
21:04:05  it is beatable though, e.g. defend9.75 beats it and space_elevator for the same reason
21:04:17  what does 9.75 do?
21:04:31  it's basically defend9 updated to modern strategies
21:04:42  it detects enemy polarity and cycle length
21:04:50  then uses a lock algorithm matched to what the enemy does
21:05:08  it also sets seven decoys, three of which are also used as tripwires, and switches to a five-cycle clear versus defence
21:05:29  and has all sorts of tricks to beat other common strategies
21:05:39  nice

21:09:48 * elliott adds one
21:09:55  | desc = Utterly insane.}}
21:10:12  really, the desc should be by the author and explain exactly how it works
21:10:27  I have a pretty good idea of how it works, as I've studied a whole bunch of methods for countering it, from the specific to the generic
21:10:39  But until such a description is written, it stays like that :P
21:10:45  ais523: have you studied ICA's? :P
21:11:09  template conversion done
21:11:33  I haven't studied ICA's yet, but they're the sort of thing I don't like to try to beat
21:11:41  ais523: *it's
21:11:47  ais523: and why not?
21:11:51  it's not a specific program targeter
21:11:53  it's a confuser
21:12:10  perhaps a defence program should try and get multiple readings of cycle length in different situations?
21:12:16  it's because I'm bad at beating confusers
21:12:23  defence programs lose to rush if they do that
21:13:03  gregor: i've got a fixed point algorithm for scoring. it's so simple you won't believe it
21:13:13  quintopia: Is it mine? :P
21:13:15  I like Gregor's, and how it works with the hill
21:13:23  ais523: Gregor wants it to be fixed-point
21:13:25  ais523: it would work the same way
21:13:27  ais523: except be recursive
21:13:29  elliott: yes, except you divide by the number of programs
21:13:34  quintopia: That's what I said ...
21:13:38  *don't divide
21:13:40  Oh.
21:13:43  you just leave it
21:13:44  quintopia: Surely that saturates?!
21:13:45  and it works
21:13:48  O KAY
21:13:51  And differs from the points?
21:13:55  it does
21:13:57  ooh, looks like I have both highest negative-points and lowest positive-points programs on the hill
21:14:20  Gregor: S(p) := sum S(q) for all q that p beats, where S(x) is initially taken as P(p).
21:14:25  Gregor: quintopia says this is fixed-point, as unlikely as that sounds.
21:14:57  according to this algorithm 9.75 is easily the best program in the top 5 (which is exactly what we'd expect)
21:15:06  sounds good
21:15:45  quintopia: got a closed-form way to calculate it? :P
21:16:24  elliott: actually, it's not fixed point. i was mistaken XD. it cycles because the top 3 are cyclical
21:16:30  i don't know how to resolve that
21:16:42  quintopia: If you visit the same program twice, the second time, return score 0.
21:16:56  quintopia: Try with that
21:17:14  quintopia: Basically for any call of S(p) keep a bag for that call and its sub-calls :P
21:17:25  And if you ever recurse on a program that you've already seen, return 0.
21:17:37  elliott: that requires work. right now i'm just multiplying a matrix by a vector repeatedly.
21:17:47  you want me to write an actual *algorithm*
21:17:56  quintopia: A dumb recursive algorithm is not much of an algorithm :P

21:20:53  hmm, did pikhq ever joust? I can't remember
21:21:00  Nope!
21:21:19  write a jouster in PEBBLE :P
21:21:27  hideous inefficiency awaits
21:21:35  That'd involve writing a new backend.
21:21:47  ORLY?
21:21:50  Valid BF = valid BF Joust.
21:21:55  Oh, never mind.
21:22:03  elliott: Funny thing is, PEBBLE is one of the more efficient high-level languages targetting Brainfuck.
21:22:06  pikhq: ()* and ()% are just conveniences :P
21:22:24  ()* and ()% could probably be added with ease.
21:22:36  OTOH, BF Joust doesn't follow normal programming physics
21:22:58  assigning to a variable then checking several times that its value is still the same would normally be considered insane
21:23:04  but it's par for the course when jousting
21:23:13  Probably helps a lot that PEBBLE is higher-level than Brainfuck but still *insanely* low-leve.
21:23:26  Low-level, rather.
21:23:38  It doesn't even have normal conditionals!
21:23:58  pikhq: Yeah, but BF Joust makes assumptions like ais523 said :P
21:24:15  elliott: Maybe a Joust-specific set of macros would be handy.
21:24:22  1cnis would make a good BF Joust preprocessor, IMO
21:24:24  ais523: also, sure it makes sense, some people actually think that writing code like that is _sane_
21:24:31  ais523: see: people who think shared memory is a good idea (crazy people)
21:24:32  elliott: how about iterating until it sees a scoreboard its seen before and then averaging the entire cycle?
21:24:39  Thing is, PEBBLE is really little more than a macro system for Brainfuck.
21:24:44  shared memory concurrency, that is
21:24:48  quintopia: if that works, then sure
21:24:50  quintopia: try it
21:24:52  macro system would be nice too
21:24:57  e.g. defend9.25 has two almost identical halves
21:24:58  ... With optional variable support.
21:25:08  and one bug I came across was changing things in one half but not the other
21:25:15  double reverse tripwire programs are like that
21:25:24  (and using one reverse tripwire tends not to work well IME)
21:25:32  quintopia: but will that work if only the top four are cyclic? it might be thousands of scoreboards before you see the exact same scoreboard
21:25:39  because of the butterfly effect on the programs below
21:25:56  maybe even millions
21:26:04  ais523: well, ()% is already pretty powerful
21:26:08  elliott: it would be a very unusual scoreboard with a cycle that long
21:26:17  ais523: and a macro language would probably end up insane, vs. using a program to generate
21:26:20  elliott: indeed
21:26:24  quintopia: but only the four top cycles
21:26:26  quintopia: the rest don't
21:26:32  so while the first four could go around in a tight cycle
21:26:36  the programs below could change constantly
21:26:37  because of those changes
21:26:44  no i don't think so
21:26:59  i think everything that isn't actually in a cycle will settle down
21:27:29  the cyclical ones just trade fractions of points with one another after that
21:27:51  quintopia: yeah, but the other programs' scores are based on the top four
21:27:57  so when they trade, the ones below trade too
21:28:03  and possibly in a way that takes longer to cycle
21:30:23  SodaStream's Pete's Choice and Diet Pete's Choice may be better than Dr. Pepper and Diet Dr. Pepper, respectively.

21:35:03  are you sure it's impossible to acquire them?

21:35:33  how do they do that?
21:35:36  money?
21:35:37  quintopia: This, quite understandably, riles some people up.
21:35:42  quintopia: Um, yes, money.
21:35:47  Coca-Cola is a friggin' huge corporation.
21:35:52  [[Because cocaine is naturally present in coca leaves, today's Coca-Cola uses "spent," or treated, coca leaves, those that have been through a cocaine extraction process, to flavor the beverage. The coca leaves are imported from countries like Peru and Bolivia, and they are treated by chemical company Stepan, which then sells the de-cocainized residue to Coca-Cola.[3] Some contend that this process cannot extract all of the cocaine alkaloids at a
21:35:52   molecular level, and so the drink still contains trace amounts of the stimulant.[1][4] The Coca-Cola Company currently refuses to comment on the continued presence of coca leaf in Coca-Cola.[5][6]]]
21:36:01  tl;dr all they have to do is tell Stepan not to sell them to anyone else.
21:36:11  ais523: My client doesn't color people, and yet I never seem to get them confused.

21:36:29  elliott: bah. what's stopping a different company from doing that extraction process?
21:36:33  quintopia: I'm pretty sure you need Special Permission(TM) to treat the coca leaves too, considering they, you know, have cocaine in them.
21:36:42  funny note about Coca-Cola - the branch is worth so much that if their factories burnt down they could borrow against their name to rebuild
21:36:50  quintopia: (This is reddit-accuracy-level information, but the logic checks out.)
21:36:58  quintopia: ((I literally read it on reddit :P))
21:37:35  elliott: why not buy spent coca leaves from drug cartels? then you haven't bought illegal coca leaves or done the illegal extraction yourself
21:37:46  DEALING WITH DRUG CARTELS: Totally legal
21:37:55  is it not? :P
21:38:02  I don't... think so X-D

21:38:16  you would just be financing them
21:38:18  Yeah, but are the drug cartels doing business legally?
21:38:29  Deal with the Yakuza.
21:38:30  I think if you knowingly did business with drug cartels who aren't doing business legally, that would be illegal.
21:38:34  it doesn't matter what they do with your money. that's them being illegal, not you
21:38:38  They *are* in fact perfectly legitimate businessmen..
21:38:39  :P
21:38:53  ANYWAY, point is that an _individual_ is never gonna be able to legally make Coca-Cola because of this :P

21:43:06  elliott: In many South American countries it is actually entirely legal to grow and consume coca leaves.
21:43:10 -!- pikhq_ has changed nick to pikhq.
21:43:12  Right.
21:43:20  So to make Coca-Cola, move to South America :P
21:43:37  Gregor: Link :P
21:43:44  elliott: I shouldn't! It's queued!
21:43:50  Gregor: WE WON'T TELL.
21:43:51  this discussion makes me want to illegally make some coca-cola
21:44:02  elliott: Maybe I'll PM if you convince me :P
21:44:02  07:17:17  Phantom_Hoover: nah theres australia mmmmmmmmate!!!! causes hallucinations, and you didn't reply directly to you kz 2!
21:44:03  Australia: Causes hallucinations, mmmmmmmmate!!!!
21:44:18  Gregor: I would tell absolutely ZERO people, which is ONE LESS THAN ONE (but ONE MORE THAN NEGATIVE ONE).
21:45:23  Inexplicably, coca leaves in *most* countries are treated identically to cocaine.
21:47:11  gregor: i think only putting "champion" programs on the wiki makes it so that we'll never see any of ais523's awesome defenders there since they can't really be champions.
21:47:33  quintopia: several of my defenders are there already
21:47:34  quintopia: #1s was just a baseline.
21:47:40  defend13 was champion for a time, IIRC
21:47:42  Which seems a bit like banning rye bread because LSD can be synthesized from ergot.
21:48:00  ergotamine -> lysergic acid? really?
21:48:10  never paid much attention to that
21:48:13  quintopia: That is how it was originally synthesized, actually.
21:48:22  i probably knew that at one point
21:48:28  when i was studying it
21:48:36  Rye bread might have relatively more legal uses than cocaine
21:48:44  pikhq: or banning hemp >.<
21:48:58  Deewiant: *than coca leaves
21:49:03  Right :-D
21:49:06  Deewiant: Does making cola count?
21:49:09  :p
21:49:19  Deewiant: Ooh, but what about getting high?
21:49:20  ...wait...
21:49:57  i wonder if it's possible to breed a coca plant that tastes the same but doesn't produce cocaine
21:50:29  Coca-Cola might contain coca but I don't think other colas do
21:50:44  quintopia: Wouldn't it be simpler to legalise cocaine :P
21:50:45  Deewiant: Before extracting cocaine from the leaves became possible/common, consuming the leaves straight was a very common and not-very-notable thing...
21:50:56  it would be false advertising if coca-cola did not contain coca!
21:51:06  Yeah isn't there that stuff about all the KULCHURES complaining about people wanting to ban chewing coca leaves
21:51:20  In the quantities of cocaine one gets from there, it's really no different than caffeine.
21:51:49  we should try to do cocaine extraction from coca-cola...
21:52:20  pikhq: So was slavery but we still prefer to not do it these days
21:52:26  Apparently there's been no documented addictions to coca leaves.
21:52:33  "In the United States, Stepan Company is the only manufacturing plant authorized by the Federal Government to import and process the coca plant"
21:52:35  TOLD YOU
21:52:54  US: Bullshit, or total bullshit?? You decide
21:52:55  Deewiant: Sure we do; we just call it different things.
21:52:59  Like "minimum wage".
21:53:15  Minimum wage is ... slavery? :wat:
21:53:16  and any other company that would try would be stopped, of course, because coca-cola would pay to have it stopped
21:53:24  Sounds like the kind of thing a libertarian crackpot would say :P
21:53:26  quintopia: "Some contend that this process cannot extract all of the cocaine alkaloids at a molecular level, and so the drink still contains trace amounts of the stimulant.[1][4] The Coca-Cola Company currently refuses to comment on the continued presence of coca leaf in Coca-Cola.[5][6]"
21:53:31  elliott: Minimum wage in the US is not a living wage.
21:53:35  quintopia: Depending on how crackpotty Mr. Some is, you could possibly do it.
21:53:35  pikhq: We don't have that in this country :-P
21:53:36  pikhq: Right.
21:53:52  Deewiant: Ha ha, Finland, you crazy.
21:54:21  Deewiant: Yeah, you just have strong unions.
21:54:39  Deewiant: Which gets the same effect and makes the "small government" wackos' heads explode.
21:54:47  it is in fact impossible to set minimum wage to a living wage as all increases in minimum wage result in increased cost of living
21:54:54  in this country i mean
21:55:16  with changes in other laws it might could be done
21:55:19  quintopia: That suggests some major economic brokenness.
21:55:30  pikhq: it is broken. you didn't know this?
21:56:03  quintopia: Well, I *am* actually aware that the US economy is really broken by now...
21:56:09  pikhq: Unions don't make small government wackos' head explode.
21:56:15  pikhq: How can something they've outlawed confuse them? :)
21:56:21  elliott: Unions *instead of* a government, however?
21:56:52  pikhq: Are you proposing some kind of unionocracy? :P
21:56:55  elliott: "The government is not involved but there's unions... MY HEAD ASPLODE!"
21:57:08  As bad ideas go, unionocracy sounds pretty bad.
21:57:12  elliott: I believe the proper term for that is "democracy", actually. :P
21:57:28  Unless I'm mistaken, democracy means one thing, and what it means is not what unionocracy would mean were it in the dictionary.

22:02:32  Deewiant: that's not VFF
22:02:35  Gregor_julius_freezer is a shudderer
22:02:40  that's my modification of VFF resubmitted
22:02:42  it was literally called that
22:02:48  I know
22:02:51  elliott: how did you modify it?
22:02:56  ais523: Randomly, probably
22:02:59  I just think that's the only related one you've added
22:02:59  heh
22:03:00  I have no idea how it was Mathematica edition

22:03:34   41  22   23.70   -3.55  ais523_defend9_5.bfjoust
22:03:38  wow, 9.5 must have been pretty bad
22:03:45  it isn't /bad/, but it's passive
22:03:51  which tends to make programs score badly
22:04:00  it's also vulnerable to turtles, and there are a bunch of those around
22:04:12  9.75 is just 9.5 with those weaknesses fixed, and look how much better it's doing
22:04:45  heh, strangely 9.5 beats decoybooster2 and 9.75 doesn't, but that's the only exception to 9.75 beating or tying 9.5
22:04:46  so the next Debian release will be called wheezy
22:04:49  which is a pretty bad name
22:05:07  (also, 9.5 beats 9.75, but I can manipulate that result trivially)

22:05:29  ais523: does the definder sequence ever go to zero if the opponent is not changing the flag?

22:05:38  but it was horrible and annoying
22:05:40  so i removed it
22:05:48  aka, go to zero and stop there
22:05:48  (and I know why it happens, I think I might even have done it that way round deliberately)
22:05:51  " heh, I use to use that user javascript" wtf

22:05:56   (ais523: that one that gave an orange box of any page link you hovered over)
22:06:01  You put it in your monobook.js.
22:06:10  quintopia: the original doesn't; definder2 does, IIRC
22:06:18  08:30:27  We should set a size limit :P
22:06:18  08:30:29  Maybe 640K

22:07:25  yep
22:07:31  a mibicotet would be, umm, 1/1024th of an octet?
22:07:32  Deewiant: But do you say kio or Kio?
22:07:40  08:39:53  look what digging up my browser history brought
22:07:40  08:40:00  an old paste with vagrant on it
22:07:40  rolleyes
22:07:41  kibi is Ki
22:07:47  Deewiant: But that's Inconsistent.
22:07:52  kibi is Ki.
22:07:55  Deewiant: (And not SI standard anyway, so it's irrelevant,)
22:07:57  *irrelevant.
22:08:00  ais523: did you ever test the original definder without the tripwire, egodeath style?
22:08:12  Deewiant: Who cares what the IEC says :P
22:08:15  quintopia: *Nyarlathotep style?
22:08:17  ki is far more consistent.
22:08:20  and no, I don't think I did
22:08:26  egodeath did it too iirc
22:08:31  k is inconsistent in the first place :-P
22:08:39  Deewiant: But it's SI, and SI standards are unquestionable.
22:08:44  but the timings would be off if the opponent took more than 98 turns to turn up
22:08:46  which happens quite a lot
22:09:15  I love how I can say "34 kb" to mean 4.15 kio :P
22:09:20  SUCH CONFUSE
22:09:25  (kilobits)
22:09:26  elliott: kilobels?
22:09:30  oh, that's B
22:09:33  ais523: kilobits, bits is lowercase b
22:09:39  ais523: you can determine the most likely moment for the opponent to show up by examining timings on the current hill and just wait that long
22:09:55  quintopia: wow that'd be overspecific to the current hill
22:09:59  and such programs tend to do badly
22:11:04  I'm going to use "1 do" to mean 0.8 b.
22:11:10  (decioctet)
22:11:28  "Oh yeah, that's about 100 dos" = "Oh yeah, that's about 10 bits".
22:11:29  SO CONFUSING
22:11:31  ais523: i doubt it would be actually. i suspect an average of timings over the current hill would be well-suited to the future as well. however, i expect that it would do badly in any case, i was just wondering how badly

23:15:42  The furry furry girls are dominatrixes :P
23:15:58  (They're not the ones in bondage, you are)
23:17:19  Are they just furry, or furry furry?
23:17:41  They're furry furries.
23:20:33  I don't think you can comprehend how furry they are.
23:21:04  I was stating that they are furry (as in very, very hairy) and furry (as in the subculture).
23:22:02  Gregor: Comment on the hairiness of the aforementioned girls?
23:22:16  Only the latter.
23:22:31  They have a normal, human amount of hair.
23:22:42  Which they may or may not do less with than the average western female.
23:23:06  *Awww*.
23:23:39  I was imagining near-apes in fursuits.

23:34:55  And how do I fix the lights in the keyboard?
23:38:08  i've tried finding other people for you zzo38 but it means finding someone like you, and so no such person exists
23:39:42  quintopia: At least you tried. However, maybe there are people interested in these kind of things if you want to make high-quality card game... . If you cannot answer that, however, can you answer the other question about how fix the lights in the keyboard?
23:41:15  How am I supposed to find the people interested in this cards, by myself?
23:41:54  ask on forums where geeky people frequent
23:42:47  and if you disassemble your keyboard you can maybefigure out what's wrong and fix it
23:43:53  Hahah, I've upped my fail and generated 400MB :P

23:47:53  No, we should set a hard instruction limit (unexpanded)

23:48:36  Unexpanded 64K fits everything we have currently
23:48:41  I think a 700K program would be fine, for instance.
23:48:44  I don't mind generation.
23:49:00  "Anything that can feasibly be downloaded from the Internet in 30 seconds from EgoBot", say :P
23:49:12  we should make a new instruction set that makes these kind of constructs more compact and set the limit on that one
23:49:12  Hard, /static/ limit X-P
23:49:18  Noooo
23:49:23  No exponential programs.
23:49:28  Unrolling is a lame strategy.
23:51:11  Gregor: We already have exponential programs with lance (which differentiates between * and %).
23:51:47  I'm using a rather silly definition of "exponential programs" :P
23:51:56  Basically I don't want you to be able to go too far just by always knowing exactly where you are.
23:52:13  why not?
23:52:15  :/
23:52:31  Gregor: It would be nice to have something that lets us transform [a[b[c[d]]]]x into [a[b[c[d]x]x]x]x :P
23:52:36  (To "break out of a loop".)
23:52:42  Sure, it's "cheating", but... a hard limit irks me.
23:52:48  space_elevator is awesome. But not unbeatable.
23:52:49  elliott: my subroutine idea frex
23:53:00  quintopia: I prefer things that are essentially string rewriting, but optimised :P
23:53:05  Gregor: I don't think a hard limit will prevent any god strategies.
23:53:10  I don't think there _are_ any unbeatable programs.
23:53:31  No, of course not, but things start getting totally impossible to understand once the program is just a loop-unrolled mess of nonsense.
23:53:37  elliott: that's what it was. a construct that implements subroutines by string rewriting
23:53:54  Gregor: The rules aren't based on your pitiful mind's tiny capacity :P
23:54:03  elliott: I'm preventing MYSELF here.
23:54:06  elliott: I'M writing programs that do this.
23:54:12  Gregor: I approve!
23:54:15  elliott: I'M trying to make sure that this retard strategy doesn't work.
23:54:18  I do think open-sourcing the generators for such program is a good thing, though.
23:54:23  Gregor: It won't work, we'll beat it :P
23:54:48  They're still size-infeasible, so if they're a legit strategy then we should either have a macro system or disallow it *shrugs*
23:55:21  Gregor: Does EgoBot refuse to download files over a certain size?
23:55:22  yes
23:55:25  macro system
23:55:34  elliott: I don't recall :P
23:56:08  Gregor: If it does, let's just rely on that... I don't like adding such things at the battle layer :P
23:56:17  Especially since, y'know, trying programs like that locally sounds like fun.
23:56:25  Whoahwhoahwhoah
23:56:29  I was talking about for the HILL, not the language.
23:56:34  Gregor: Yah, I know.
23:56:47  Gregor: I'm fine with a limit in !bfjoust, but I have a feeling that EgoBot already handles a sane enough limit.
23:56:54  I don't want a limit that is treated as unexpandable :P
