00:00:34 <ais523> Big Ben is late
00:00:39 <ais523> by a few seconds
00:00:46 <ais523> either that, or ja.net is early
00:00:53 <ais523> but I trust it more than I trust a mechanical clock
00:00:57 <elliott> HAPPY 2011.9999999999999, EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
00:01:06 <ais523> elliott is even later
00:01:13 <ais523> it's 12:01 already
00:01:23 <elliott> HAPPY 2011.9999999999999[10], EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
00:01:31 <elliott> the [] signifies a single digit
00:01:41 <ais523> you could just use A?
00:01:54 <Vorpal> happy new year in UK
00:02:34 <elliott> fST?
00:02:39 <Vorpal> ?
00:02:44 <elliott> -christel- [Global Notice] Happy new Year to the those on fST which covers UK, Portugal, Morocco, Ireland, parts of Spain, Iceland, Cote d'Ivoire, Mali, Togo, Senegal, Gambia, Faroe Islands, Guinea-Bissau, Isle of Man, Greenland, Saint helena, Mauritania, Sao Tome, Guinea, Western Sahara, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone and Liberia! Welcome to 2012 - Year Of The Troll!
00:02:54 <fizzie> 200C, like they say in "200%X" terms.
00:02:57 <elliott> I think all the freenode staff are drunk today.
00:02:57 <Vorpal> wut
00:03:01 <Vorpal> elliott, fST
00:03:01 <Vorpal> lol
00:03:04 <fizzie> freenode Standard Time?
00:03:04 <elliott> All these messages have been massively typo'd.
00:03:06 <elliott> Oh.
00:03:09 <elliott> That's stupid.
00:03:12 <Sgeo> ais523, but then it's hexadecimal. I suppose pointing that out would break the joke?
00:03:14 <fizzie> That's what it *sounds* like.
00:03:15 <elliott> Almost as stupid as "libya".
00:03:18 <elliott> And "Most of Congo".
00:03:25 <fizzie> I don't know if it is.
00:03:28 <Vorpal> heh
00:03:31 <elliott> http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#fst
00:03:36 <elliott> It is that, yes; you made me remember.
00:03:47 <elliott> I like how I can hear, but not see, fireworks here.
00:03:47 <ais523> Sgeo: it's just standard to use letters for digits past the 10th
00:04:01 <fizzie> Oh, so it "sort of" is.
00:04:07 <elliott> happy year of the apocalypse, everybody!
00:04:18 <ais523> -christel- 2012 - Year Of The Troll!
00:04:20 <elliott> I hope you have a nice apocalypse and lead up to the apocalypse
00:04:36 <ais523> I thought Freenode /disliked/ trolls?
00:04:40 <ais523> have they changed their mind?
00:04:54 <Sgeo> Clearly their mind change will take effect in 2012.
00:05:06 <monqy> i at first misread it as year of the trolley
00:05:13 <ais523> elliott: you do know there's no reason to think the world will end in 2012, right?
00:05:14 <monqy> year of the trolley would be good
00:05:15 <elliott> #freenode-newyears s very quiet
00:05:23 <elliott> s/s //
00:05:32 <ais523> the common theory about the Mayan calendar was a mistranslation
00:05:36 <elliott> ais523: sure there is: everyone who said that would look really stupid
00:05:53 <ais523> wait, you think the world would end just to stop people looking stupid?
00:06:01 <elliott> no, just to make them look stupid
00:06:09 <ais523> surely it'd be more in character for it to keep hanging on out of spite?
00:06:46 <elliott> anyway, _you_ can hardly talk about there being no logical reason to think that something will happen to the physical universe
00:07:41 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined.
00:07:53 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover <- 2011
00:07:58 <elliott> i wonder if i am still ignored
00:07:59 <Phantom_Hoover> That bloody church blocked the fireworks again, of course.
00:08:15 <elliott> Oh no, luke-jr is in #freenode-newyears.
00:08:20 * elliott exits stage left.
00:08:28 <Phantom_Hoover> Al Qaeda have been slacking, evidently.
00:08:41 <ais523> elliott: who's luke-jr?
00:08:45 <ais523> is he an ssh fanboy?
00:09:01 <Vorpal> <Phantom_Hoover> That bloody church blocked the fireworks again, of course. <-- huh?
00:09:04 <elliott> ais523: no, he's from #jesus
00:09:16 <Phantom_Hoover> Vorpal, see log from exactly a year ago.
00:09:55 <monqy> good thing fireworks are awful
00:10:00 <Sgeo> ssh fanboy?
00:10:17 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, okay
00:10:19 <ais523> Sgeo: elliott didn't believe me either when I said I knew one
00:10:22 <ais523> until I gave some examples
00:10:41 <Sgeo> How does one be a fan of a simple tool?
00:10:49 <Sgeo> </hypocrite>
00:10:51 <Phantom_Hoover> monqy, hahahaha you suck
00:10:56 <elliott> monqy++
00:11:02 <Phantom_Hoover> As does elliott.
00:11:10 <Phantom_Hoover> You are evidently also an English pansy.
00:11:12 <Sgeo> I agree with Phantom_Hoover on something?
00:11:31 <Sgeo> Wait, why would I disagree randomly with Phantom_Hoover?
00:11:41 <Phantom_Hoover> Sgeo, have you long been of the opinion that monqy sucks?
00:11:41 <Sgeo> I agree with someone against elliott?
00:12:10 <Sgeo> Phantom_Hoover, I guess after he said that fireworks are awful
00:12:45 <Phantom_Hoover> This is the right place.
00:12:59 <elliott> Wow, this firework sounds like a cat dying.
00:13:38 <Phantom_Hoover> Ha ha ha you just have amateur crappy fireworks in people's back gardens.
00:13:50 <Phantom_Hoover> Not a giant castle with loads and loads of fireworks.
00:14:10 <ais523> Phantom_Hoover: we're watching the celebrations in London on TV
00:14:16 <ais523> although they're winding down now
00:14:20 <ais523> /those/ aren't pansy fireworks
00:14:26 <Phantom_Hoover> They don't have a castle??
00:14:28 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: These fireworks aren't from a garden.
00:14:31 <elliott> Pretty sure they're the official thing.
00:14:39 <Phantom_Hoover> hahahaha
00:14:59 <monqy> last I checked fireworks are too illegal here for back gardens to do them
00:15:02 <Vorpal> I live like two blocks away from the official fireworks here. They are quite good.
00:15:18 <ais523> monqy: sure? there are fireworks visible from where I live
00:15:19 <Phantom_Hoover> monqy, and yet gun control??? im politic
00:15:22 <ais523> well, not sure
00:15:24 <ais523> from where I am currently
00:15:35 <ais523> I don't actually live here, maybe they're visible from where I am too
00:15:41 <Sgeo> monqy, where I am, illegality of fireworks does not stop usage of fireworks.
00:15:46 <ais523> on Guy Fawkes Day, some people set off a firework from the pavement
00:15:49 <ais523> I'm reasonably sure /that's/ illegal
00:15:55 <ais523> I was a few metres away at the time, so I ran
00:15:57 <elliott> <ais523> monqy: sure? there are fireworks visible from where I live
00:15:59 <elliott> ais523: in America?
00:15:59 <ais523> as I wasn't sure how good their aim was
00:16:03 <Phantom_Hoover> I think fireworks are illegal in Ireland for obvious reasons.
00:16:05 <ais523> elliott: oh, monqy's American?
00:16:09 <ais523> I thought he was British for some reason
00:16:25 <ais523> but I wouldn't expect fireworks to be illegal in a land of republicans
00:16:31 <elliott> Good thing America isn't that, then.
00:16:35 <ais523> nor would I expect democrats to try to ban them
00:16:39 <ais523> too much fallout for too little gain
00:16:42 <elliott> Do you mean rd or RD?
00:16:53 <ais523> err, do I mean either?
00:16:56 <ais523> I'm not sure what either manes
00:17:00 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, what are the obvious reasons?
00:17:01 <elliott> Republicans and democrats or Republicans and Democrats?
00:17:06 <elliott> They're vastly different things.
00:17:17 <ais523> oh, rD in that situation
00:17:27 <Phantom_Hoover> Vorpal, do you know, like, anything about Irish history in the second half of the 20th century?
00:17:32 <Phantom_Hoover> Specifically, Northern Irish?
00:17:33 <Sgeo> My state apparently bans all consumer fireworks.
00:17:36 <elliott> ais523: The obvious answer is that the Republicans would ban them, then...
00:17:37 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, oh right that
00:17:40 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, yeah makes sense
00:17:46 <Sgeo> I have seen home Fireworks every year (more often)
00:17:48 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, not sure it makes sense for the entire island though
00:17:49 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: (Vorpal just googled it.)
00:17:56 <Vorpal> elliott, no I didn't
00:17:56 <ais523> elliott: why? they normally wouldn't offend their core voters for no good reason at all
00:18:04 <Phantom_Hoover> Vorpal, Ireland has two nations on them.
00:18:09 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, indeed
00:18:09 <ais523> they probably would if given large enough political donations
00:18:12 <Phantom_Hoover> *on it
00:18:14 <ais523> but nobody really has an incentive to do that either
00:18:19 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, I assume you mean the nation Ireland
00:18:20 <elliott> ais523: I don't see why that would offend their core voters.
00:18:29 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, no?
00:18:35 <Phantom_Hoover> I mean in both.
00:18:38 <ais523> elliott: banning fireworks?
00:18:44 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, well that doesn't make much sense to me.
00:18:52 <ais523> imagine you're ESR and you find out that the government is banning fireworks, what's your reaction?
00:18:53 <elliott> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_fireworks#United_States, anyway.
00:19:02 <elliott> ais523: Hahahaha, you think ESR is the typical Republican supporter?
00:19:13 <ais523> no, I think he's an extreme version of a subset of Republican supporters
00:19:15 <elliott> ESR is strongly libertarian, the Republican party is nothing of the sort.
00:19:19 <Phantom_Hoover> "In the Republic of Ireland, the law on fireworks is governed by Part 6 of the Criminal Justice Act 2006. Generally, fireworks are illegal. Private fireworks displays are allowed on two conditions; the fireworks must be licensed for import and a professional fireworks operator must be used."
00:19:21 <ais523> do you think there's any chance he votes Democrat?
00:19:36 <ais523> (he may well vote third party, I guess)
00:19:40 <elliott> No, but that's quite irrelevant; Republicans aren't, as a general rule, libertarian.
00:19:47 <ais523> anyway, in practice, libertarians normally vote republican
00:20:01 <ais523> and it's not like the majority of actual republicans would care either way about fireworks
00:21:25 <Phantom_Hoover> Upon further consultation, my mother isn't actually sure whether fireworks are banned in NI, although she's never seen them on sale.
00:22:05 <Phantom_Hoover> http://www.nio.gov.uk/the_law_on_fireworks.pdf
00:22:35 <Phantom_Hoover> Everything other than indoor fireworks is banned.
00:22:42 <Phantom_Hoover> *requires a licence
00:22:45 <ais523> why do you think your mother would know whether fireworks are banned in northern island?
00:23:05 <elliott> Indoor... fireworks?
00:23:34 <ais523> elliott: not much different to indoor skiing, surely?
00:23:35 <monqy> fireplaces, arson
00:23:36 <Phantom_Hoover> ais523, because she is from it, also insists on dragging me there every available opportunity??
00:23:41 <ais523> ah, I see
00:23:50 <ais523> northern ireland is quite a way to drag someone from scotland
00:23:50 <Phantom_Hoover> (this also applies to my father, my parents are awful)
00:23:57 <Phantom_Hoover> my kneeees
00:24:01 <ais523> Phantom_Hoover: your parents are both northern-irish?
00:24:08 <Phantom_Hoover> Yes.
00:24:17 <elliott> hahahahaha, lkml.org has google +1 buttons
00:24:18 <ais523> so why are you Scottish?
00:24:20 <elliott> on every message
00:24:26 <elliott> ais523: no true scotsman!
00:24:56 <Phantom_Hoover> ais523, because I was born there and I have lived there all my life?
00:25:02 <ais523> Phantom_Hoover: hmm
00:25:14 <ais523> so what would possess northern-irish parents to have a scottish child?
00:25:23 <elliott> X-D
00:25:30 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: WHY ARE YOU SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT
00:25:50 <Phantom_Hoover> Mum, dad.... I'm Scottish.
00:26:53 <Phantom_Hoover> "Category 4 ("professional") fireworks are for sale only to fireworks professionals. They have no restrictions,"
00:27:07 <Phantom_Hoover> OK I need to become a pyrotechnician.
00:30:19 <ais523> Phantom_Hoover: that's like wanting to become a locksmith
00:30:32 <ais523> so that you can legally own lockpicks
00:30:37 <Phantom_Hoover> Did I mention when I wanted to become a locksmith?

00:31:26 <Sgeo> Oh
00:31:35 <ais523> elliott: hmm, I'm one of those people who's interested in picking locks from a theoretical point of view, because it's interesting in how it works
00:31:43 <ais523> and yet don't do it because I fear it'd get me into trouble
00:31:55 <ais523> it's hard to come up with lawful-good reasons to illegally pick locks
00:32:13 <Sgeo> What about picking your own locks, or does that damage them?
00:32:35 <ais523> Sgeo: doesn't damage them
00:32:43 <ais523> just, they're all far too secure for me to stand any chance
00:32:54 <ais523> I picked the lock on a classmate's pencil case once, with their permission
00:33:00 <ais523> but they didn't believe I'd done it when break ended
00:33:05 <ais523> (I guess it was a really weak lock)
00:33:06 <Phantom_Hoover> ais523, what about that time I wanted to pick a lock because there was a chair behind it and then I nearly stabbed some people in enforcement of the Skyrim protocol.
00:33:19 <ais523> what /is/ the Skyrim protocol?
00:33:23 <ais523> and does it involve BF derivatives?
00:33:25 <Vorpal> <ais523> northern ireland is quite a way to drag someone from scotland <-- not really. I just checked in google earth
00:33:42 <ais523> Vorpal: but dragging people across water's a bit tricky
00:33:50 <ais523> there are bits of scotland that are nearish to bits of northern ireland

01:16:14 <Phantom__Hoover> Whatever corresponds to the mid-Pacific?
01:17:35 <ais523> isn't Australia in the mid-pacific, in longitude terms?

01:20:03 <Vorpal> Phantom__Hoover, lol
01:20:30 <Vorpal> <elliott> wouldn't iceland be in utc-1 if they were "normal" about it <-- they are UTC (possibly with summer time as well? I don't know)
01:20:39 <Phantom__Hoover> This includes Antarctica and summer times.
01:20:47 <Vorpal> I checked though so I could SMS a friend on iceland happy new year at the right time
01:20:48 <elliott> Vorpal: Yes, I know.
01:21:40 <Vorpal> <ais523> there's a UCS-1? <-- that would be like quite similar to ASCII?
01:21:46 <Vorpal> not quite though
01:21:55 <elliott> ascii with surrogates
01:21:57 <elliott> so uh
01:21:57 <elliott> utf-8
01:22:07 <ais523> elliott: no, UCS doesn't have surrogates
01:22:10 <Vorpal> elliott, err UCS lacks surrogate stuff
01:22:17 <ais523> e.g. UCS-2 has no surrogates, UTF-16 does and can encode the whole set
01:22:22 <ais523> so I guess UCS-1 would just be Latin-1

01:23:22 <ais523> hmm, if it's offtopic, I probably don't want to click it
01:23:24 <Vorpal> elliott, I bought the game today. It was on sale. Again. I think it been on sale like 10 times since it was released less than a year ago
01:23:26 <ais523> and if it's ontopic, I definitely don't
01:23:36 <Vorpal> so I could play co-op if anyone is interested
01:23:36 * ais523 doesn't click the link
01:24:24 <Vorpal> elliott, huh? What does it actually do (wrt how it displays to the user)?
01:24:40 <Vorpal> elliott, the top way of doing it to me would be cutting out the ads. But they are never going to do that
01:25:21 <elliott> Dunno, don't care.

01:43:47 -!- ais523|direct has quit (Client Quit).
01:43:47 <zzo38> ais523: I tried that; it doesn't work
01:44:20 <ais523> oh, ofc, lambdabot would have no way of knowing what channel to send the response to
01:44:50 <zzo38> ais523: Yes. That is what I thought but tried it anyways to see if it would do anything at all.
01:45:15 <ais523> @ping ais523
01:45:15 <lambdabot> pong
01:45:24 <Sgeo> @ping ais523
01:45:24 <ais523> ah, I was wondering if it'd ctcp ping me
01:45:24 <lambdabot> pong
01:45:29 <zzo38> Why do you have two connections?
01:45:37 <ais523> I only have one at the moment
01:45:49 <zzo38> Are you unable to send CTCP response on the main one?
01:46:23 <ais523> zzo38: I'm not convinced my client would correctly send a CTCP response
01:46:32 <ais523> so I wanted to handcraft it to make sure it worked properly
01:46:37 <ais523> it sends them automatically
01:46:43 <zzo38> Well, did you try making your client send a CTCP response?
01:46:49 <ais523> but clients generally aren't designed to send people unsolicited CTCP responses
01:46:53 <ais523> I don't know what the command would be
01:47:00 <ais523> I can do /notice, but not really literal control-a
01:47:44 <zzo38> At least in my client, any control character can be sent by prefixing it with CTRL+P. Maybe in some client you can use CTRL+V for that, though, maybe some others support CTRL+P as well.
01:47:56 <coppro> /notice is not a CTCP command
01:48:00 <coppro> it's an irc NOTICE command
01:48:13 <ais523> coppro: a CTCP reply is an irc NOTICE command
01:48:16 <ais523> with control characters in
01:48:25 <{happy_new_year}> ...
01:48:30 <{happy_new_year}> lol
01:48:36 <ais523> specifically, /notice ^ATIME Sun Jan 1 01:41:51 2012^A or whatever
01:48:42 <coppro> ah, yeah
01:48:42 <{happy_new_year}> <CTCP>TEST 1 2 3<CTCP>
01:48:44 <ais523> in theory, you can put multiple CTCP responses in the same line
01:48:56 <ais523> but I'm not sure if any client actually parses them as such
01:49:06 <coppro> elliott: You should join the atto project
01:49:06 -!- azaq23 has joined.
01:49:12 <zzo38> My client parses CTCP requests anywhere in a line.
01:49:21 <zzo38> However, the only thing it does with CTCP responses is displays them.
01:49:33 <zzo38> It doesn't attempt to parse them.
01:49:37 <Vorpal> <ais523> but clients generally aren't designed to send people unsolicited CTCP responses <-- xchat has /ctcp and /nctcp iirc, the latter for the reply
01:49:54 <ais523> [Error] nctcp: Unknown command.
01:50:01 <elliott> coppro: No.
01:50:03 <Vorpal> ais523, I sent you a ctcp and a ctcp reply
01:50:05 <Vorpal> did they work?
01:50:05 <zzo38> Did you try pushing CTRL+A?

01:50:31 <monqy> good good
01:50:31 <{happy_new_year}> O_O
01:50:31 <zzo38> If you push CTRL+P first (or CTRL+V maybe) will that work?

01:50:46 <monqy> on the third time yes
01:50:51 <ais523> zzo38: control-v is paste; control-p has no obvious effect

01:50:57 <Vorpal> <CTCP>VERSION<CTCP>
01:50:59 <ais523> and doesn't escape control codes
01:51:00 <zzo38> Not even printing?
01:51:12 <ais523> zzo38: you can't really print an IRC channel
01:51:16 <ais523> you could print a log, perhaps, or scrollback
01:51:21 <Vorpal> -Zetro- VERSION ((\w+) (v?(\d+(?:[a-z]|(?:\.\d+[a-z]?)*(?:[_-](?:\d+[a-z]?|[a-z]?\d*))?)))(?: (.*))?) <-- lol

01:51:40 <Vorpal> no idea what that is for
01:51:41 <{happy_new_year}> I thought it might work...
01:51:43 <ais523> I doubt any client would fall for that by replying with QUIT not with NOTICE
01:51:48 -!- NihilistDandy has joined.
01:51:50 <{happy_new_year}> lol
01:51:54 <ais523> you could test using CTCP PRIVMSG, I guess

01:52:14 <{happy_new_year}> >_>
01:52:24 <{happy_new_year}> Is there a list of commands?
01:52:25 <Vorpal> {happy_new_year}, also it isn't going to work, no client responds to unknown ctcp as far as I know
01:52:36 <zzo38> Mine simply ignore any request it doesn't understand, but it does display it regardless. If auto answer is turned off, it doesn't respond to anything either.
01:52:42 <ais523> elliott: why did Canada collapse? someone's asking about IRC nomics in another channel
01:52:53 <zzo38> Vorpal: No I have seen some that makes error message
01:52:57 <Vorpal> {happy_new_year}, and supported CTCPs are client dependent. There is a generic "get list" which may or may not be supported, which I forgot the name of anyway
01:53:04 <Vorpal> zzo38, heh, really
01:53:12 <ais523> I seem to remember an edit war over something or other, but can't remember what
01:53:14 <ais523> Vorpal: you were there too, can you remember?
01:53:44 <Vorpal> ais523, Canada? Oh the IRC nomic that was stupidly renamed to try to do something silly with agora
01:53:51 <Vorpal> I left around the time it was renamed iirc
01:53:51 <ais523> yep
01:53:51 <zzo38> As far as I know, once someone in this channel tried sending CTCP request in the middle of another message, and my client is the only one that responded.
01:53:58 <ais523> but there was a war about something earlier
01:54:06 <Vorpal> ais523, don't remember
01:54:13 <ais523> gah
01:54:22 <zzo38> Because I think my client is the only one following the specifications of IRC more closely than any other one does.
01:54:24 <ais523> anyone still have Canada's ruleset after this long? ISTR Vorpal hosted it
01:54:30 <Vorpal> no I didn't
01:54:44 <Vorpal> ais523, check your logs? I can't they are on another computer that dual boots and is booted into windows.
01:55:11 <elliott> ais523: there's a copy
01:55:11 <Vorpal> ais523, I might check when I reboot to linux
01:55:15 <ais523> can't, I lost my logs from that long ago, IIRC
01:55:15 <elliott> of a slightly old ruleset
01:55:23 <elliott> ais523: anyway, it died due to becoming #nomic
01:55:30 <elliott> before that, just lack of activity
01:55:35 <elliott> talking about agora was more interesting
01:56:16 <ais523> it wasn't doing too well as a nomic even before that
01:57:04 <elliott> anyway, New Canada never died
01:57:08 <elliott> it just barely even lived
01:57:36 <coppro> elliott: why not?
01:57:47 <elliott> coppro: Why not what?
01:57:55 <coppro> elliott: join the atto project
01:58:20 <ais523> sounds like a very small project
01:58:42 <elliott> coppro: I doubt it will be written in a programming language I will code in for fun, I doubt it will ever actually go anywhere, and I doubt I would find the end result all that useful/interesting, although that's the point I'm least sure of.
01:59:12 <ais523> elliott: what is the set of programming languages you code in for fun?
01:59:16 <ais523> just {Haskell}, or larger?
02:00:06 <ais523> in my case, I wanted to have a go at implementing scapegoat myself
02:00:11 <ais523> but couldn't think of an appropriate language
02:00:17 <elliott> ais523: {Haskell, occasionally C, sometimes Python, rarely Perl, probably all sorts of obscure things like ATS and Rust and Bit-C and stuff, not C++, not C++, not C++}
02:00:25 <coppro> elliott: what's that OS you're building called?
02:00:26 <ais523> hmm, fair enough
02:00:29 <coppro> elliott: it definitely won't be C++
02:00:35 <coppro> if I ever bother actually coding it
02:00:46 <ais523> coppro: we don't know yet; but all instances of @ in a nounish position in the logs are going to be copy-replaced with its name once it is named
02:00:48 <ais523> so we just call it @
02:01:00 <ais523> (I would try to escape those @s, but apparently it can't be escaped)
02:01:10 <elliott> ais523: thankfully, replacing X with X is a nop
02:01:13 <ais523> err, find-replaced
02:01:21 <elliott> also, nounish?
02:01:24 <elliott> it's a global replacement
02:01:39 <elliott> not even email addresses will survive the Revelation
02:01:42 <elliott> coppro: what will it be, then?
02:01:58 <ais523> elliott: don't you do C++ sudoku for fun sometimes?
02:01:58 <coppro> dunno
02:02:02 <ais523> or does that not count as C++ programming?
02:02:24 <elliott> ais523: that's not fun, that's zen
02:02:26 <coppro> elliott: the atto project is to create a user environment based on vim, but expanded to cover more applications
02:02:39 <coppro> also no suck is allowed
02:02:40 <elliott> coppro: oh, that's even less interesting than what I thought it was
02:02:43 <ais523> coppro: sort-of like vimperator?
02:02:46 <elliott> and you're doomed from the start
02:02:48 <coppro> ais523: yes, except not
02:02:48 <ais523> only not limited to firefox?
02:03:05 <elliott> vimperator isn't either
02:03:05 <coppro> more like a vim-like DE
02:03:07 <elliott> http://vimperator.org/
02:03:16 <ais523> elliott: somehow I'm not surprised
02:03:19 <elliott> coppro: oh good, it's layering Unix on top of Unix
02:03:29 <elliott> are you /sure/ you thought out the no suck rule fully?
02:03:35 <ais523> coppro: isn't that just Emacs?
02:03:43 <coppro> ais523: most emphatically not
02:03:51 <ais523> at least, the major defining difference between Emacs and vim is that Emacs is a DE and vim isn't
02:03:58 <ais523> things like controls can be remapped
02:04:21 <coppro> emacs doesn't nicely support the notion of a mode
02:04:56 -!- itidus22 has quit (Quit: Leaving).
02:05:06 <ais523> emacs has a concept called "mode", you know; and emacs minor modes could be used for vim modes very easily
02:05:13 <ais523> probably are, in fact
02:05:33 <coppro> unless I misunderstand, not the in the way I envision them
02:05:40 <coppro> it /is/ possible I misunderstand myself
02:05:56 -!- {happy_new_year} has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.88 [Firefox 11.0a2/20111230042026]).
02:06:11 <ais523> coppro: well, things like insert/visual/command mode in vi are basically different sets of keybindings, right?
02:07:12 <ais523> whereas an emacs major mode sets things like keybindings and syntax tables and indentation functions and (insert lots of other things here), and a minor mode sets some subset of those
02:07:22 <ais523> so it's easy to envisage a minor mode whose only purpose is to change keybindings
02:07:51 <coppro> ais523: Not entirely true. Visual mode, for instance, has the notion of a selection
02:08:10 <elliott> if you don't think emacs modes can add functionality like that...
02:08:22 <coppro> oh, I certainly do
02:08:26 -!- Darth_Cliche has joined.
02:08:48 <coppro> but the thing is, it needs to be able to be as uniform as possible across different purposes
02:10:01 <ais523> hmm, I was just testing out M-x viper-mode

02:14:58 <elliott> coppro: oh, I forgot the last reason: I have about 10x more projects than I can handle anyway
02:15:03 <coppro> elliott: duh
02:15:03 <ais523> hmm, I'm used to new games running even on old hardware
02:15:14 <coppro> why do you think I'm starting this one?
02:15:16 <ais523> typically not with massively good graphics/framerates/etc
02:15:23 <kallisti> it's not even because it's old.
02:15:36 <coppro> ais523: modern computers with integrated graphics cards just don't cut it
02:15:50 <kallisti> it's just because the code throws an exception due to the lack of a good graphics cards or something. I don't remember the specific error.
02:15:50 <ais523> sure? I've played computer games on them
02:16:21 <ais523> I play Neverwinter Nights on my integrated laptop even now, and played it on an integrated graphics laptop back when I first bought it
02:16:22 <kallisti> but it's an indie game made by like, ~5 people I think? So I'm not going to expect them to add every feature that you'd expect from a more expensive game.
02:16:25 <ais523> and I think it was reasonably new then
02:16:34 <elliott> nwn predates shaders doesn't it
02:16:47 * kallisti can even play SC2 on his laptop though it's a bit laggy. Magicka? nope.
02:17:16 -!- NihilistDandy has joined.
02:17:35 <ais523> kallisti: just patch the library it's using to determine the graphics card to return a different result?
02:17:48 <kallisti> granted, despite the fact that Magicka doesn't seem like a graphically intense game, it does employ a lot of shaders, particle effects, physics, etc.
02:17:55 <kallisti> ais523: ..
02:18:08 <kallisti> I doubt that's going to be easy.
02:18:14 <ais523> kallisti: might be a patch on the forums to do that
02:18:21 <ais523> that's what happened with Neverwinter Nights, for me
02:18:24 <kallisti> last I checked there was no way to fix it.
02:18:30 <ais523> it was crashing on Linux but there was a patch that masked the existence of a capability, then it wasn't
02:19:13 <elliott> ais523: the reason modern games don't work on intel is that intel only has old shaders
02:19:20 <elliott> flipping a gfx card check will not help.
02:20:01 <ais523> old shaders = fixed pipeline where you only get to plug numbers into a prewritten shader, effectively?
02:20:10 <ais523> hmm, are you sure?
02:20:25 <elliott> err, what?
02:20:32 <elliott> shaders are programmable pipeline
02:20:37 <elliott> intel just only does glsl 1.2
02:21:41 <ais523> ah, OK
02:21:45 <ais523> that makes a lot more sense
02:22:04 <ais523> (fixed pipeline can be seen as simply being forced to use prewritten shaders)
02:22:45 <elliott> anyway, comparing neverwinter nights to current games is ridiculous, because GPUs have advanced a few lightyears since then
02:23:17 -!- MSleep has changed nick to MDude.
02:23:26 <elliott> and desktops have got many times more powerful; so have laptops, but lower-end ones skimp heavily on things like graphics relative to mid-end-upwards stuff to save power, so that their batteries last a lot longer than they did back then
02:23:54 <ais523> adanaxis runs nicely on this laptop too, and it does crazy things with shaders
02:24:10 <ais523> pity that normal GPU matrices only go up to 4x4, adanaxis could really do with 5x5

03:04:10 <Ngevd> I use Torrent
03:04:12 <Vorpal> why does ktorrent (on linux) do that
03:04:25 <zzo38> I don't know!
03:04:34 <Vorpal> Ngevd, thanks. How does it compare to ktorrent in functionality
03:04:37 <Ngevd> No idea

12:23:03 <lahwran> "If something unbelieveable happens or is so unexpected and you cant believe your eyes, you can then say 'Mother of GOD!'"
12:23:05 <lahwran> I rest my case :3
12:23:53 <oerjan> yes, but that's not punny enough.
12:24:14 <oerjan> or wordplay, whatever
12:26:46 <lahwran> I'm busy reading gender-related holy wars on reddit, can't think about puns
12:27:12 <shachaf> lahwran: Solution: Stop reading Reddit.
12:27:25 <lahwran> yeeeeaahhh that's a good idea
12:27:29 <shachaf> Reddit is stupid. Especially "gender-related holy wars" on it.
12:28:11 <lahwran> "holy wars" on the internet in general are stupid, but very entertaining
12:28:14 <oerjan> i don't visit the reddit front page any more these days.
12:28:33 <monqy> holy wars as in
12:29:03 <shachaf> The Reddit front page is OK once you unsubscribe from every single subreddit.
12:29:04 <lahwran> "you're right and I'm wrong, and I won't listen to reason even if you're not trying to disagree with me" kinda stuff
12:29:21 <oerjan> shachaf: i'm not logged in, so i mean the default set

12:29:26 <lahwran> :D
12:29:51 <monqy> never heard a proper perl vs python

12:30:58 <monqy> of what use is a holy war if both sides are wrong
12:31:15 <lahwran> you don't need that qualifier on there
12:31:16 <shachaf> monqy: Eliminating wrong people from both sides.
12:31:23 <shachaf> That's what war is about.
12:31:37 <lahwran> in general holy wars imply that any aggressive side is wrong :P
12:31:44 <lahwran> and, often the unaggressive sides too
12:32:31 <shachaf> I'm in a holy war with my pants -- in particular the knee area.
12:32:34 <shachaf> I'm losing. :-(
12:32:47 <lahwran> hah
12:33:06 <lahwran> I'm proud to say the knees of my pants have stayed mostly assembled in recent years
12:33:08 <monqy> my pants and I have a mutual respect
12:33:24 <oerjan> i'm in a holy war with god. it's rather frustrating.

13:48:02 -!- kallisti_ has left.
13:48:09 <quintopia> they need to come up with an actual fundraiser if they want to keep drawing millions from the general public
13:48:28 <kallisti> quintopia: what's the difference between an "actual fundraiser" and what they're doing.
13:48:35 <monqy> if I don't give them money, they'll give me more faces, and I love the faces
13:48:58 <kallisti> I think their fundraider campaign is kind of poorly executed.
13:49:11 <quintopia> fundraider!
13:49:15 <kallisti> lol yes
13:49:21 <kallisti> not enough fun raiding
13:49:23 <kallisti> needs more raids
13:49:39 <kallisti> I think they should have stuck to the "here's the bar showing how much money we need"
13:49:42 <kallisti> instead of the faces.
13:49:53 <monqy> but
13:49:54 <quintopia> facesssssss
13:49:55 <monqy> faces are good
13:50:00 <monqy> faces are friend
13:50:01 <kallisti> it worked fine in the past, and gave people an indication that there is a need to donate.
13:50:15 <kallisti> they could even have faces /and/ the progress bar.
13:50:20 <quintopia> ,,,,,,,,,
13:50:22 <monqy> progress bar made of faces
13:50:26 <kallisti> yes.
13:50:40 <quintopia> face made of bars
13:50:44 <monqy> give more money to get more faces
13:50:47 <monqy> now everyone will donate
13:51:03 <quintopia> yes. all the donate.
13:51:08 <kallisti> all the faces do is attract people to click and read their shitty advertising spiel.
13:51:15 <quintopia> nope
13:51:25 <quintopia> they attract people to look at faces
13:51:32 <monqy> to admire the faces
13:51:37 <oerjan> it's all so facetious
13:53:04 <kallisti> ..
13:53:10 <kallisti> monqy: hi I got idea for game
13:53:13 <kallisti> super game.
13:53:15 <kallisti> but complicated
13:53:25 <monqy> you flip a face but it's really really big
13:53:26 <kallisti> maybe I shouldn't plan so comlpicatedly
13:53:54 <kallisti> no it's like RPG + RTS
13:54:12 <kallisti> + maybe dynamically generated storyline/world but I doubt I'll be good at that.
13:54:26 <kallisti> definitely randomly generated world would be nice.
13:55:06 <kallisti> the idea started as a desire to have an RPG where careful consideration and planning are required
13:55:08 <quintopia> and you can go back in time and kill the royal family and everything is different
13:55:22 <kallisti> like, with magic, for example, you can't just run around and throw fireballs everywhere.
13:55:52 <quintopia> you can only throw them where they wont hurt anyone
13:56:21 <kallisti> if you're in a forest, the forest will catch on fire. also, good spells are slow and require no interruptions. Anything fast is either a) not very strong b) drains a lot of magical resources (I haven't decided what that is)
13:56:33 <monqy> forest fires mean more things dead
13:56:35 <monqy> perfect
13:56:37 <kallisti> lol
13:56:39 <kallisti> yes.
13:56:44 <kallisti> though if there is an enemy wizard
13:56:47 <kallisti> he could conjure rain.
13:56:48 <monqy> dead
13:56:50 <monqy> oh
13:56:53 <monqy> try megafire
13:56:58 <monqy> (thumbs up)
13:57:07 <quintopia> megarain though
13:57:25 <monqy> D:
13:57:57 <kallisti> also another idea is to have the game progress from a small scale to large scale while being interesting the entire time.
13:57:59 <quintopia> do recommend nuclear blast
13:58:06 <kallisti> so, to start with you'd be one person. the main hero character.
13:58:29 <quintopia> oh sort of like battles in brutal legend
13:58:34 <kallisti> then you'd develop a following, and eventually you would control a town, then a county, then a kingdom.
13:58:56 -!- derdon has joined.
13:58:57 <kallisti> though I don't if I actually want to do that.
13:59:07 <quintopia> you dont want to do that
13:59:09 <kallisti> I think just having a small city under your control would be good enough.
13:59:19 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: leaving).
13:59:19 <quintopia> you want a game company with resources to do it for you
13:59:27 <kallisti> also I'd rather focus on a small group of awesome hero characters than armies and stuff
14:00:07 <kallisti> the way I see it working is you have military squads that you can train, but all of the epic questy stuff would be handled by your heros
14:00:14 <kallisti> but yeah
14:00:15 <kallisti> that's like
14:00:17 <kallisti> a game I'll never make
14:00:21 <kallisti> that I've thought about a lot recently
14:00:31 <kallisti> I'd like to be a game company
14:00:34 <kallisti> like the entire game company
14:00:35 <kallisti> at once
14:00:41 <kallisti> like a hivemind
14:00:42 <quintopia> yeah man
14:00:45 <kallisti> developing a game
14:01:20 <monqy> my dream existence is as a hivemind
14:01:28 <monqy> a hivemind of robots
14:01:30 <monqy> or perhaps hiveminds
14:01:40 <kallisti> my existence hive is a dream of minds.
14:01:47 <quintopia> is this a good dream or a nightmare
14:02:26 <kallisti> my dream existence is of mind hives
14:02:45 <quintopia> my dream dream is of dream dreams
14:04:08 <kallisti> mmmm cole slaw
14:04:20 <kallisti> what the hell does cole mean
14:04:23 <kallisti> also slaw
14:04:37 <monqy> coles law
14:04:43 <monqy> colesl aw
14:04:44 <quintopia> cole is cabbage, slaw is salad
14:05:00 <kallisti> The term "coleslaw" arose in the 18th century as an Anglicisation of the Dutch term "koolsla", a shortening of "koolsalade", which means "cabbage salad".[2] It is originally from Ireland and was made at the end of the month from leftover vegetables and cream.
14:05:04 <kallisti> indeed
14:05:23 <monqy> coleslaw is good except when it isn't
14:05:29 <quintopia> yeah

14:25:51 <quintopia> what am i seeing here monqy
14:26:08 <monqy> you'd know if you clicked kallisti's links!!
14:26:54 <kallisti> fizzie: I was having a drunken conversation with someone and they started talking about audio stuff in relation to films and they kind of knew what spectrograms were but I wanted to clarify by showing a pure sine tone and its corresponding spectrogram.
14:27:02 <quintopia> or you could just tell me
14:27:06 <kallisti> quintopia: foods
14:27:12 <monqy> Making black butter in Jersey - wikepid
14:27:20 <quintopia> oh
14:27:21 <monqy> first image on the appel buter page
14:27:23 <fizzie> kallisti: I'm not sure you can get Google's image chart API to make a spectrogram, sadly.
14:27:48 <quintopia> it takes a metal-melting forge to make black butter it seems
14:28:04 <kallisti> it's okay I could have just drawn a vertical line on a 2D chart somewhere :P
14:28:06 <monqy> how else would you butter the apples
14:28:11 <monqy> those things are hard!
14:28:42 <kallisti> we have "apple houses" here
14:28:46 <kallisti> which just sell all apple
14:28:49 <kallisti> stuff
14:29:03 <kallisti> just tons of different kinds of apples, apple cider, apple butter, apple fritters, apple pie.
14:29:10 <kallisti> probably other things made of apples that I didn't know existed
14:29:13 <monqy> apple chips
14:29:16 <kallisti> oh, yes.
14:29:58 <monqy> apple sauce
14:30:44 <fizzie> Apple iBook.
14:30:49 <kallisti> no

14:33:41 <kallisti> yes it is.
14:34:06 <monqy> apple macintosh, yum yum
14:36:26 <fizzie> There's a garlic-themed restaurant in Helsinki, they do some a bit strange garlicy things. (Like garlic beer and garlic ice-cream.)
14:37:08 <quintopia> yecch
14:38:17 <quintopia> chocochip waffles?
14:38:49 <monqy> garlic chocochip garlic waffles
14:39:00 <kallisti> garlic garlic in a garlic sauce
14:39:20 <kallisti> fizzie: can you order a whole bulb of garlic.
14:39:28 * quintopia dips it in garlic butter
14:39:57 <fizzie> kallisti: It's not on the menu, but I'm pretty sure you could.
14:39:59 <quintopia> maorp
14:40:11 <fizzie> Also there's a viking-themed restaurant chain that sells tar ice-cream.
14:40:19 <quintopia> what
14:40:30 <fizzie> It's not entirely unique, but top Google hits about "tar ice cream" seem to be about it.
14:40:40 <quintopia> tar is not food
14:40:49 <fizzie> http://susan-stepney.blogspot.com/2011/06/tar-ice-cream.html <-- see, #1 hit is some computational blogger blogging about it.
14:41:03 <fizzie> It's not too bad.
14:41:50 <kallisti> wat ice cream tarpit?
14:41:55 <kallisti> is it the smallest ice cream?
14:42:11 <fizzie> The ice cream with the least amount of instructions.
14:42:23 <quintopia> yeah i just read that
14:42:30 <quintopia> she seems to think it is nice
14:42:52 <kallisti> I'm not sure that's what turing tarpit was originally coined to mean.
14:44:08 <kallisti> "There is a small but thriving community on the Internet of hobbyists who program in and design esoteric programming languages." -- haha Wikipedia
14:44:26 <monqy> does it have a citation
14:44:36 <kallisti> no
14:44:39 <quintopia> i dont buy it
14:44:41 <kallisti> "The esolang community is active sporadically, and topics of discussion range from debate as to whether a language is Turing-complete to how one would go about representing abstract and hard to visualise mathematical concepts in a programming environment. There is a mailing list, but it is nearly abandoned and most discussion happens on the wiki (see below) or on IRC."

14:54:40 <monqy> I was waiting for that to come up
15:00:53 <Sgeo> I officially hate commentors on dilbert.com

15:18:02 <Gregor> It's that time of year where I have to remember to update copyright lines.
15:19:11 <quintopia> why not just write them so they dont have to be updated?

15:44:51 <Gregor> quintopia: None I suppose, under Berne you don't need a copyright notice at all *shrugs*
15:45:44 <Gregor> Apparently a copyright notice can defeat a defense of "innocent infringement"
15:46:13 <Gregor> I need a VCS that can tell me when I need to update copyright notices 8-D
15:46:22 <Gregor> I wonder if there's a plugin for Mercurial to do that ...
15:47:02 <coppro> You could just not put the year into the copyright notice
15:47:18 <fizzie> Some GNU files have such a careful correspondence between "years mentioned in the copyright notice" and "edits that touched the file in the VCS" that one might believe they use some kind of a tool.

16:44:40 <fizzie> IOW, a few dozen bytes.
16:45:07 <fizzie> That's how holy it is. (In related news, I haven't yet found out what makes OSHS holy at all; all the stuff that's in there seems to be just about the technical side of it.)
16:45:35 <elliott> 11:23:17: <oerjan> basically on a channel as experimental as #esoteric, a logbot shouldn't filter out information, not even malformed such
16:45:45 <elliott> @ask oerjan Pings? NAMES lists?
16:45:45 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
16:46:11 <elliott> 11:31:37: <oerjan> <ais523> elliott: don't you do C++ sudoku for fun sometimes? <-- what is C++ sudoku? i assume it's nothing as boring as programming sudoku in C++
16:46:11 <elliott> 11:33:17: <fizzie> IIRC it's just "C++ as a time-wasting brain exercise".
16:46:24 <elliott> fizzie: With an eye towards treating it as a functional language. Especially if you do it at compile-time.
16:46:33 <elliott> 11:35:13: <fizzie> <elliott> I failed at C++ Sudoku for the first time today :(
16:46:33 <elliott> 11:35:13: <fizzie> <elliott> it is not possible to create a boolean type such that "if (True)" works but
16:46:33 <elliott> 11:35:13: <fizzie> "if (True && 9)" doesn't
16:46:33 <elliott> I later figured this out, BTW.
16:46:36 <Gregor> @tell oerjan Re logs: See raw logs. I can't turn every line into something meaningful, but the raw logs never fail.
16:46:37 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
16:47:16 <fizzie> Gregor: He just said "I know about timed hit^W^Wraw logs" on the next line or so.
16:47:39 <fizzie> Er, not the bit about timed hits. In retrospect, putting quote marks around that was probably a mistake.
16:47:41 <fizzie> Anyway.
16:48:29 <elliott> Gregor: You /could/ add unknown lines raw to the text logs (past parsing who sent them).
16:48:46 <Gregor> elliott: I /could/
16:48:51 <Gregor> I /choose/ not to ^^

16:55:10 <elliott> Well, not really :P
16:55:13 <kallisti> hmmm I wonder if I have arthritis, or some kind of joint problem.
16:55:15 <elliott> You could just not put a year.

16:55:55 <elliott> fizzie: Wait, what *was* the context for this?
16:56:03 <Gregor> kallisti: Sounds RSIish.
16:56:12 <kallisti> from..... typing?>
16:56:19 <kallisti> I guess I type a lot. and weirdly
16:56:27 <fizzie> elliott: E was looking for single-letter-name programming languages a day or a few ago, and didn't find a P (just P'') at that time.
16:56:28 <Ngevd> elliott, one letter programming language names
16:56:45 <Vorpal> kallisti, you probably want to get a doctor to look at that.
16:56:54 <kallisti> a doctor? seriously? I'm shocked.
16:56:58 <kallisti> doctors fix medical problems?
16:57:03 <Ngevd> Some do
16:57:08 <Ngevd> Others just time travel
16:57:11 <Vorpal> kallisti, that is at least the goal
16:57:14 <kallisti> I thought they just gave people drugs.
16:57:20 <Vorpal> kallisti, if they are doctors in medicine
16:59:56 <kallisti> do you guys have anything like that?
17:00:11 <kallisti> seems like RSI would be common with programmers and whatnot
17:00:45 <Vorpal> thankfully I don't have it
17:01:10 <kallisti> hm, maybe I should learn how to type like a normal person
17:01:30 <Vorpal> what with 3 fingers on each hand? XD
17:01:37 <kallisti> yes
17:01:47 <Vorpal> (I don't think that many people use all five fingers on each hand to type)
17:01:53 <kallisti> I let my middle finger do too much I think.
17:02:01 <kallisti> they kind of dance around the keyboard :P
17:02:11 <kallisti> that's a poor explanation though
17:02:53 <Vorpal> I haven't slept for over 24 hours. Going to sleep now. Hopefully I will kind of sync up with the time zone I live in that way.
17:03:01 <Vorpal> cya tomorrow
17:03:04 <kallisti> that never works for me
17:03:05 <kallisti> but good night
17:03:32 <elliott> Vorpal: that doesn't work, you already fucked up
17:03:49 <kallisti> elliott: hi do you ever get RSI you type a lot.
17:04:09 <elliott> you don't "ever get" RSI, you just "get" RSI
17:04:15 <elliott> have you considered that it might be carpal tunnel, hth
17:04:26 <kallisti> seriously it's going to be so hard to type differently if that's what the problem is.
17:04:49 <elliott> install xwrits or sth
17:05:01 <kallisti> "Patients with CTS experience numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in the thumb and fingers, in particular the index, middle fingers, and radial half of the ring fingers, which are innervated by the median nerve. Less-specific symptoms may include pain in the wrists or hands and loss of grip strength"
17:05:08 <kallisti> ...oh. no I hadn't considered that. but that sounds pretty accurate.
17:05:13 <kallisti> fun.
17:05:30 <elliott> if you think you have anything like that (a) stop typing and (b) go and see a doctor
17:05:48 <elliott> or it'll get bad enough that you won't be able to type.
17:05:55 <kallisti> but typing is fun.

18:34:41 <elliott> http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/base/ seems to be a checkout of http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/base.git/
18:34:59 <Sgeo_> I guess Haskell doesn't always go left to right in pattern matching?
18:35:53 <elliott> Sgeo_: sure it does.
18:35:57 -!- ais523 has joined.
18:36:14 <Sgeo_> But then why doesn't it die on pattern matching ... oh, I think I get it
18:36:18 <elliott> id a = 42
18:36:27 <elliott> *foo
18:36:27 <Sgeo_> Because to pattern match there, it doesn't need to evaluate it
18:36:30 <elliott> OMG id pattern-matches on its first argument, foo _|_ must = _|_
18:36:47 <elliott> pattern-matching doesn't cause any kind of reduction itself, only discrimination
18:36:49 <elliott> i.e. constructors
18:36:58 <Sgeo_> Ok, thanks
18:37:02 <oerjan> Sgeo_: in maybe n _ Nothing = n, n is an irrefutable pattern and thus not strict. only the last argument is actually evaluated to check the constructor.
18:37:23 <Sgeo_> But there are functions in Haskell that are overly strict, and this makes me sad.
18:38:10 <Sgeo_> oerjan, I get it, thanks
18:38:12 <oerjan> Sgeo_: it annoys me slightly that show for Chars is overly strict

18:40:52 <elliott> I don't think it's all that big a deal in practice.
18:41:01 <oerjan> the " is not for the explicit show, but for the implicit one lambdabot uses on the resulting String
18:41:07 <elliott> I'm not the biggest fan of unamb, and the left-to-right behaviour is at least predictable.
18:41:20 <elliott> Also, it really needs to be in the language; HasLub sucks.
18:41:31 <elliott> oerjan: i could have told you that
18:42:32 <elliott> "The unsafePerformIO is actually safe in this situation because amb is deterministic when the precondition of unamb satisfied."
18:42:42 <elliott> Similarly, unsafePerformIO is safe because unsafePerformIO is deterministic when the precondition of unsafePerformIO is satisfied.

19:15:22 <fizzie> (2009-09-07.)
19:15:22 <elliott> oerjan: hm if contravariant functors are (b -> a) -> f a -> f b, are normal functors covariant
19:15:38 <oerjan> ah a newbie. yes, it's a rather bad first channel impression.
19:15:39 <elliott> oerjan: oh right i remember, you had no idea that "scoundrel" was old-timey-sounding :P
19:16:23 <oerjan> yes and maybe.
19:16:42 <elliott> i sure was hyper that day
19:16:45 * elliott stops logreading
19:17:04 <elliott> oerjan: ok, so is there a name for class Cocontrafunctor f where wtfmap :: (a -> b) -> (b -> a) -> f a -> f b
19:17:09 <elliott> where you have both covariant _and_ contravariant parts
19:17:10 <elliott> e.g.
19:17:26 <elliott> data F a b = F (b -> a) (a, b)
19:17:30 <oerjan> i cannot fathom to whom scoundrel would be old-timey-sounding
19:17:34 <fizzie> Cocoafunctor, the sweetest of functions.
19:17:49 <fizzie> oerjan: Allegedly it "evokes images of top hats and curled moustaches."
19:17:56 <elliott> What doesn't.
19:18:01 <elliott> (You realise oerjan was punning?)
19:18:34 -!- olsner has joined.
19:19:06 <Sgeo_> That wtfmap looks useless
19:19:12 <Sgeo_> I mean, what's the b -> a for?
19:19:18 <elliott> Sgeo_:
19:19:18 <elliott> <elliott> where you have both covariant _and_ contravariant parts
19:19:18 <elliott> <elliott> e.g.
19:19:18 <elliott> <elliott> data F a b = F (b -> a) (a, b)
19:19:21 <elliott> hth hand
19:19:37 <elliott> you can't give a Functor or Contrafunctor instance for F, but you can give it a Cocontrafunctor instance
19:19:51 <oerjan> elliott: ah that bifunctor question? i'm sure there's any term other than "bifunctor covariant in the first and contravariant in the second parameter"
19:19:52 * Sgeo_ knows nothing about Contrafunctor
19:19:56 <elliott> indeed I believe _every_ haskell ADT of the right kind has a Cocontrafunctor instance
19:20:06 <elliott> Sgeo_: contramap :: (b -> a) -> fa -> f b
19:20:23 * Sgeo_ blinks
19:20:24 <Sgeo_> Ah, ok

19:21:47 <elliott> hmm... that wtfmap has a flaw
19:21:51 <elliott> or rather
19:21:58 <elliott> I don't know what the law has to be to stop you writing
19:22:20 <elliott> wtfmap f g (a,b) = (a, f (g (f b)))
19:22:31 <elliott> which is ofc not allowed, you should only apply f and g to the right positions, once
19:24:46 <oerjan> <elliott> indeed I believe _every_ haskell ADT of the right kind has a Cocontrafunctor instance <-- i think that's the way free theorems based on parametricity usually look, no?
19:25:19 <elliott> oerjan: er what way
19:25:22 <elliott> sorry, i'm dumb :(
19:25:46 <oerjan> @free f :: (a -> b, a, b)
19:25:46 <lambdabot> (forall p q. h . p = q . g => k p = q) => $map_Triple k g h f = f
19:25:58 <oerjan> wtf

19:27:03 <oerjan> @free f :: (a -> b, a)
19:27:03 <lambdabot> (forall p q. h . p = q . g => k p = q) => $map_Pair k g f = f
19:27:18 <oerjan> ok maybe not
19:27:29 <oerjan> @free f :: a -> b
19:27:30 <lambdabot> h . f = f . g
19:27:32 <nooga> no language
19:28:46 <oerjan> @free f :: [a] -> a
19:28:46 <lambdabot> g . f = f . $map g
19:29:29 * oerjan isn't quite sure what he meant
19:30:20 * elliott too :P
19:30:48 <elliott> what are the Functor laws again? including the ones that are impossible to violate in Haskell
19:31:02 <elliott> oh hmm, it's just fmap id = id isn't it, and that's a free theorem
19:31:46 <Sgeo_> Surely with unsafeCoerce and unsafePerformIO, nothing is impossible to violate?
19:32:00 <Sgeo_> (Well, some things may be impossible to violate)
19:32:27 <Sgeo_> (Like the whatchamacallit that says f _|_ = non-bottom and f non-bottom = _|_ is impossible
19:32:52 <elliott> monotonicity of information, or whatever
19:33:04 <elliott> it's actually stronger than that
19:33:14 <elliott> f _|_ [= f x for all x
19:33:19 <elliott> where [= is a symbol i can't type
19:33:25 <elliott> |_|| but sideways
19:33:42 <Sgeo_> Lessthanorequalto?
19:33:43 <Sgeo_> <=
19:33:56 <elliott> ...no.
19:34:08 <elliott> if you think |_|| turned on its side looks like < with _ below it, you're blind
19:34:20 <elliott> it's less-than-or-equally-defined-as
19:35:05 <fizzie> The Commodore logo?! (Yeah, yeah, that's even further away; but [= is not much farther than the common C=.)
19:37:33 <elliott> =c
19:38:06 <oerjan> elliott: fmap id = id and fmap (f . g) = fmap f . fmap g
19:38:47 <oerjan> it's not _entirely_ a free theorem btw, you could do fmap' f = fmap (f $!)
19:38:52 <oerjan> or wait hm
19:38:58 <Ngevd> Wow, I think I've just understood the . thingy
19:39:09 <oerjan> that doesn't do anything to id
19:40:13 <oerjan> <Sgeo_> (Like the whatchamacallit that says f _|_ = non-bottom and f non-bottom = _|_ is impossible <-- well, with unsafePerformIO and catch, you can cheat for some bottoms
19:40:37 <elliott> oerjan: hmm... so wtfmap id id = id, wtfmap (f . g) (h . i) = wtfmap f h . wtfmap g i
19:40:39 <oerjan> @free (a, a -> Int)
19:40:40 <lambdabot> Pattern match failure in do expression at Plugin/Free/FreeTheorem.hs:54:20-34
19:40:44 <oerjan> argh
19:40:44 <elliott> that second one might ban wtfmap f g (a,b) = (a, f (g (f b))), dunno
19:40:50 <oerjan> @free f :: (a, a -> Int)
19:40:51 <lambdabot> (forall k. h (k . g) = k) => $map_Pair g h f = f
19:41:57 <zzo38> Finally they fixed it I can remove tags from the git
19:43:18 <oerjan> elliott: i suspect you want some swapping in the latter equation
19:43:56 <oerjan> wtfmap (f . g) (h . i) = wtfmap f i . wtfmap g h
19:44:02 <elliott> er, right
19:44:29 <elliott> hmm
19:44:36 <oerjan> and of course only if the right side types
19:44:47 <elliott> duh :P
19:46:21 <oerjan> it _does_ look like a categorical bifunctor map on the incoming end. there's probably some name for it.
19:47:48 <oerjan> that is, if it was wtfmap :: (a -> b) -> (a' -> b') -> bf a b' -> bf b a' it would obviously be one
19:48:54 <oerjan> so what is the categorical term for a bifunctor with its output parameters smushed together :P
19:49:18 <oerjan> hm...
19:49:54 <oerjan> elliott: for any adt you could probably separate the covariant and contravariant parts into two different parameters and get a genuine bifunctor that way
19:49:59 <elliott> oerjan: i find that a fairly odd way of thinking about it, even if the types do match up :P
19:50:00 <elliott> hm
19:50:04 <elliott> so turn
19:50:19 <elliott> data F a = F (a -> Bool) a
19:50:20 <elliott> into
19:50:23 <elliott> data F a b = F (a -> Bool) b
19:50:24 <elliott> ?
19:50:40 <oerjan> (incidentally strict fields can mess up the exact functor laws, i found the other day)
19:51:02 <oerjan> elliott: yeah
19:52:27 <elliott> oerjan: hm I suppose you could do
19:52:44 <elliott> class Cocontra f where type Split f :: * -> * -> *; to :: f a -> Split f a a; fro :: Split f a a -> f a
19:52:45 <elliott> or something
19:53:01 <oerjan> heh
19:53:22 <zzo38> I think the Functor laws are simply that it is an endofunctor from objects (x) to objects (f x) isn't it? While Arrow laws for arr are that it is a functor from (->) category to another category with the same objects isn't it?
19:54:22 <zzo38> That is why I think it should be generalized to any input category and separate arr from the other things in Arrow
19:56:43 <zzo38> oerjan: How do strict fields mess up the exact functor laws?
19:58:15 -!- DCliche has joined.
19:59:44 <oerjan> zzo38: say if you have data T a = T1 !a | T2 , then you cannot get fmap (const ()) . fmap undefined = fmap (const ()) because fmap undefined will wipe out the constructor

20:01:33 <zzo38> But then, you are having fmap undefined anyways so it doesn't completely matter depending on opinion of such thing; the laws only have to work when defined, I think.
20:01:59 <oerjan> zzo38: for many types such as [] and Maybe, the laws work always
20:02:23 <zzo38> Yes
20:02:49 <zzo38> But still, that is simply that you use strict stuff, can cause lazy stuff to stop working

20:57:13 <Ngevd> Let's make even more!
20:58:44 <ais523> have we had an imaginatively TC esolang for a while?
20:58:57 <Ngevd> Possibly Brook?
20:59:02 <ais523> pretty much every TC lang is TC for one of a few simple reasons
20:59:07 <Ngevd> It's not been proven TC yet
20:59:10 <Ngevd> Also, Geom?
20:59:17 <ais523> hmm, remind me of how http://esolangs.org/wiki/Brook works again?
21:00:59 <Ngevd> It's a simple queue based linear-bounded automaton except for the c and C commands
21:01:22 <Ngevd> c pushes a char into the next stream, C pushes a number
21:01:44 <Ngevd> As soon as a stream has enough characters to be executed unambiguously, it is
21:02:04 <ais523> and the original keeps executing? or stops?
21:02:20 <Ngevd> The original pauses until the one below it can't keep on going
21:02:28 <ais523> ah, OK
21:02:45 <ais523> so it's a bit like Muriel, but more awkward
21:02:49 <Ngevd> It's got no explicit conditional or infinite loops
21:03:01 <Ngevd> Yes
21:03:08 <Ngevd> Or is implicit the word I want?
21:04:02 <Ngevd> Point is, it's tricky to make it loop forever or on a condition
21:04:21 <ais523> right, I see
21:04:42 <ais523> so the problem is, that it has loops, but it's not obvious that it has conditionals
21:05:28 <Ngevd> Conditionals are comparatively easy
21:05:34 <Ngevd> It's infinites that aren't
21:06:10 <Ngevd> Well, I say "easy"
21:06:45 <Ngevd> It's impossible to give any information to a higher stream
21:07:04 <Ngevd> Unless you give the user instructions to input any output
21:07:08 <Ngevd> Which is cheating
21:08:09 <Ngevd> To do a conditional, you just do C, followed by instructions to write the rest of the program

21:23:57 <Ngevd> ...
21:25:50 <Phantom_Hoover> Ngevd, the paste failed because your wisdom entry is linked to /dev/null, and cat was trying to print all of it into paste, which was upset about it.

21:28:06 <Ngevd> How hard would it be to make something like HackEgo, but DOS-based?
21:29:23 <ais523> reasonably hard, I think
21:29:37 <ais523> DOS is not all that good in terms of security features
21:31:43 <elliott> easy
21:31:45 <elliott> just run it in a VM
21:32:24 <ais523> there are DOS VMs that run on DOS?
21:33:32 <elliott> do they have to run on DOS?
21:33:44 <ais523> it wouldn't be DOS-based if they didn't
21:33:47 <elliott> but yes, I suspect so
21:34:04 <elliott> ais523: how do you know HackEgo doesn't run on Windows?
21:34:33 <ais523> elliott: I don't for certain, although it seems unlikely; but I wouldn't call it purely UNIX-based if it did
21:34:51 <elliott> you inserted a word "purely" not in Ngevd's statement
21:35:17 <ais523> elliott: I was disambiguating what I said; I interpreted Ngevd's statement with that possible meaning
21:37:07 <elliott> fair enough
21:37:08 <elliott> I doubt he meant that
21:37:54 <Ngevd> I think elliott is thinking what I'm thinking
21:38:08 <Ngevd> And now I've got the theme to Bananas in Pyjamas stuck in my head
21:38:35 <oerjan> sure Ngevd, but where are you going to find seven goats and a hippopotamus at this time of night?
21:39:15 <elliott> hexham
21:39:29 <oerjan> how convenient.
21:39:33 <Phantom_Hoover> oerjan, argh, what's that a reference to.
21:39:44 <Ngevd> Pinky and the Brain
21:40:14 <oerjan> a very loose reference
21:40:57 <Ngevd> Bananas, in Pyjamas, are coming down the stairs
21:41:06 <Ngevd> Bananas, in Pyjamas, are coming down in pairs
21:41:17 <Ngevd> Bananas, in Pyjamas, are chasing teddy bears
21:41:32 <Ngevd> Because on Tuesdays the try to cath them unawares

21:42:20 <oerjan> it's a medical procedure
21:42:48 <Ngevd> I think, in retrospect, it is obvious why I am so weird
21:43:16 <fizzie> Yes, it's the bananas.
21:44:20 <elliott> Ngevd: You're not that weird.
