00:00:02 <oerjan> actually why would that be necessary...
00:00:10 -!- Robdgreat has left.
00:00:29 <oerjan> oh hm
00:01:07 <oerjan> ...there's not mascarpone on the wiki.
00:01:09 <oerjan> *no
00:01:17 <Arc_Koen> http://catseye.tc/projects/mascarpone/README.markdown.html
00:02:23 <Phantom_Hoover> oi elliott
00:02:26 <Phantom_Hoover> it's tomorrow now
00:02:35 <oerjan> "New operations can be defined as strings of symbols, and these symbols are given meaning by an interpreter that is "captured" in the definition, similar to the way that lexical variables are captured in closures in functional languages."
00:03:13 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: yeah, gimme a few minutes
00:03:32 <oerjan> i think that means you can cheat by having it map to a function instead.
00:03:47 <oerjan> and i vaguely recall the implementation did that, or was it emmental...
00:04:07 <Arc_Koen> well implementing emmental was surprinsigly easy
00:04:19 <Arc_Koen> you just stored new symbols as a list of symbols
00:04:38 <Arc_Koen> and when you're looking for the definition of a symbol, you look for it in the list of definitions
00:05:10 <Arc_Koen> and when you've find it, you look for the definition of each symbol in the definition, in the tail of the list of definitions
00:05:21 <Arc_Koen> mascarpone is slightly more tricky
00:05:35 <Arc_Koen> I was planning to have some kind of functions yes
00:05:52 <Arc_Koen> but it's all so abstract
00:05:59 <oerjan> this reminds me of some of ais523's problems with Feather.
00:06:18 <oerjan> that is also ridiculously meta-circular.
00:07:39 <Arc_Koen> btw I have no idea what "the way that lexical variables are captured in closures in functional languages" is
00:08:31 <Arc_Koen> can you tell me more about feather?
00:09:03 <elliott> no, he can't
00:09:04 <elliott> nobody can
00:09:09 <monqy> `? feather
00:09:12 <HackEgo> feather? ¯\(°_o)/¯
00:09:17 <monqy> not even hackego can
00:09:46 <Phantom_Hoover> hahahahha
00:09:46 <Phantom_Hoover> but seriously, feather's a vague concept wrapped in years of in-jokes
00:09:48 <Bike> i think the meaning there is that interpreters "close over" operations in that you can't get the operation "out" of the interpreter except in the way specified in that interpreter's semantics
00:09:57 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Quit: Leaving).
00:10:03 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined.
00:11:41 <Arc_Koen> but it's the interpreter that is captured in the operation
00:12:22 <Bike> oh, yeah, other way around
00:12:28 <Arc_Koen> the way I see it an interpreter is a (symbol * operation list) list
00:13:00 <Arc_Koen> and an operation is (symbol list) * interpreter
00:13:01 <oerjan> Arc_Koen: yeah that doesn't work for the bottom interpreter
00:13:10 <Arc_Koen> yes
00:13:30 <Arc_Koen> so interpreter would be something like Null | Initial | New of (symbol * operation list) list
00:13:39 <Arc_Koen> so technically it's potentially not infinite
00:13:43 <Arc_Koen> so that would be ok by me
00:13:51 <Arc_Koen> but I have a hard time explaining that to ocaml
00:14:16 <Arc_Koen> because there's no equivalent to the "let rec x = f(y) and y = g(x)" for types
00:14:44 <Arc_Koen> that is, if I define operations first, ocaml is gonna tell me it doesn't know what "interpreter" means
00:14:44 <oerjan> it is probably better to see an operation as some function performing whatever action the operation actually should perform.
00:14:56 <oerjan> and i would guess that's what the implementation does.
00:14:56 <Arc_Koen> yeah, ok, I'll try to do it that way
00:15:02 <Bike> hm, perhaps i'm misunderstanding the page, but it seems just like reified environments
00:15:15 <Arc_Koen> I don't want to look at chris' implementation before I do my own
00:17:04 <Bike> wait, how do you put strings on the stack?
00:17:22 <Bike> oh, wait, nevermind, it's obvious.
00:18:19 <Phantom_Hoover> oi elliott it has been a few minutes
00:18:28 <elliott> i want more minutes
00:21:49 <Arc_Koen> btw the wiki seems to handle the /// page badly
00:22:16 <Arc_Koen> that is, "Slashes" is the redirect and /// the page, so /// is categorized, but links to /// directly don't work
00:22:17 <Phantom_Hoover> yeah, mw uses / for subpages
00:23:30 <oerjan> @tell atriq <atriq> My son looks a bit like me, he can put away the plates after dinner now thanks to edwardk! <-- hum...
00:23:30 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
00:23:55 <oerjan> Arc_Koen: i sometimes nag elliott about that.
00:24:02 <kmc> shachaf: someone is porting Mosh to AIX
00:24:10 <Arc_Koen> ha
00:24:11 <oerjan> Phantom_Hoover: not in the main namespace of esolang
00:24:25 <elliott> It's not about subpages.
00:24:29 <elliott> It's about me being irresponsible.
00:24:38 <Arc_Koen> Irresponsible
00:24:41 <oerjan> as long as we agree on that!
00:24:42 <Arc_Koen> good name for an esolang
00:24:47 <shachaf> kmc: How's the Android port doing?
00:24:48 <elliott> kmc: is mosh available for plan 9 yet
00:24:55 <elliott> actually mosh does something that plan 9 should never be made to do
00:25:46 <oerjan> Arc_Koen: it used to work at the time /// was a featured language, but somehow it broke again.
00:25:49 <kmc> shachaf: somebody has a fork of connectbot that does mosh
00:25:51 <kmc> elliott: which
00:26:14 <kmc> also did you see http://content.dell.com/us/en/enterprise/d/campaigns/xps-linux-laptop.aspx
00:26:21 <elliott> kmc: which what
00:26:22 <Arc_Koen> what if we tried \/\/\/
00:26:27 <elliott> oerjan: I broke it
00:26:27 <kmc> it's an ultrabook-ish laptop from dell that comes with ubuntu
00:26:48 <kmc> and is also like all cloud and shit
00:27:46 <oerjan> elliott: by upgrading, i assumed?
00:27:55 <shachaf> kmc: Yep.
00:28:02 <shachaf> What's with the resolution?
00:28:20 <elliott> oerjan: no
00:28:24 <elliott> oerjan: I changed the config
00:29:09 <oerjan> shocking!
00:29:25 <elliott> Arc_Koen: "I'm actually not sure what concatenative exactly mean". it means that syntactic concatenation denotes semantic composition
00:29:38 <Arc_Koen> oh
00:29:48 <Arc_Koen> nothing more?
00:29:49 <elliott> broadly, it means that if you get two valid programs and append their sources, the meaning of the resulting program is the function composition of those two programs
00:30:02 <elliott> (in a traditional stack language, your semantics are a function from stacks to stacks)
00:30:02 <Bike> 'nothing more'? but that's cool
00:30:08 <Bike> something something monoids
00:30:23 <elliott> so if you have 3 3 + that's the composition of the program that takes a stack and pushes 3 to it, that same program again, and the program that takes two elements off the top of the stack, adds them, and pushes the result back
00:30:32 <Arc_Koen> yes yes that's the idea in carriage
00:30:34 <elliott> which gives you a program which pushes 6 to a stack
00:30:48 <elliott> Bike: I don't think you need an identity for this to be well-defined, actually
00:30:53 <elliott> just a semigroup
00:31:11 <Arc_Koen> but I mean, apart from possible nameclashes in more complex languages
00:31:29 <Arc_Koen> I think that many many languages are concatenative
00:31:30 <Arc_Koen> no?
00:31:59 <elliott> many actual real programming languages?
00:32:00 <elliott> not really
00:32:20 <elliott> I guess you can sort of argue that C is sort of concatenative kind of, but not really
00:32:47 <shachaf> am i concatenative
00:32:57 <Arc_Koen> well the fact that you need a function called main is embarrassing
00:34:32 <Phantom_Hoover> elliott why do i get the sense you are not doing anything relating to dwarf fortress
00:35:20 <oerjan> i guess ocaml fits better than C
00:35:38 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: a minute ok
00:35:39 <elliott> !!
00:35:47 <oerjan> hm wait what about imports
00:35:55 <oerjan> or can ocaml have those anywhere
00:36:05 <Arc_Koen> yes, anywhere
00:36:08 <Arc_Koen> I'm pretty sure
00:36:23 <oerjan> haskell must have them at the top, alas
00:36:28 <Arc_Koen> HAHA
00:36:30 <oerjan> and also has that pesky main
00:36:40 <Arc_Koen> Ocaml is better than Haskell THERE YOU HAVE IT
00:36:57 <Phantom_Hoover> haskell has a better name and logo though
00:37:16 <oerjan> i assumed that was so you could chase imports without reading the whole file
00:37:19 <elliott> i am glad haskell makes you organise imports reasonably
00:37:25 <elliott> oerjan: well haskell has to process modules to parse
00:37:27 <elliott> because fixity
00:37:48 <oerjan> well that's a separate last parsing step now
00:37:59 <Phantom_Hoover> so guys do you all know about alonzo church's son dating haskell curry's daughter
00:38:12 <Phantom_Hoover> because everyone should know that
00:38:16 <oerjan> Phantom_Hoover: vaguely rings a bell
00:38:22 <monqy> I think I've heard of it before
00:38:43 <kmc> shachaf: you should be able to query the unicode character database via DNS
00:39:00 <Bike> where are the CS paparazzi when you need 'em
00:39:05 <Phantom_Hoover> (i think that was superturing's origin story)
00:39:50 <Arc_Koen> wait
00:39:52 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: that is the coolest thing ever
00:39:55 <shachaf> kmc: Any idea why UnicodeData.txt is incomplete?
00:39:57 <Arc_Koen> both superturing's parents are functional?
00:40:03 <Arc_Koen> shocker
00:40:11 <kmc> it is?
00:40:14 <kmc> what do yo umean
00:40:33 <shachaf> Doesn't contain a bunch of codepoints.
00:40:48 <shachaf> Like U+3456 㑖
00:41:26 <shachaf> I'm referring to ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt
00:41:32 <kmc> ah
00:41:37 <shachaf> Where else should I get my up-to-date Unicode information?
00:41:38 <kmc> Qed. 㑖
00:44:14 <pikhq_> That is a weird-looking character.
00:44:28 <pikhq_> 人 + 仲. Really?
00:44:42 <Lumpio-> huh
00:44:50 <shachaf> OK, 人 is also not in there.
00:44:58 <pikhq_> (which is of course 人 + 中)
00:45:12 <pikhq_> shachaf: The *hell*?
00:45:17 <shachaf> You'd think U+4EBA would be there, right?
00:45:28 <shachaf> It's missing all those what'sitcalled characters.
00:45:50 <pikhq_> Yeah. 人 was definitely in the first Unicode version with CJK.
00:46:00 <pikhq_> The typical kindergartner knows it.
00:46:08 <elliott> Only some of these characters display here. :(
00:46:09 <kmc> oh that's not actually a big box?
00:46:18 <kmc> i guess i got a double width replacement box :3
00:47:35 <shachaf> pikhq_: Maybe it's just not part of UnicodeData.Txt
00:47:38 <shachaf> s/T/t/
00:48:12 <shachaf> ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/CJKRadicals.txt seems to have it.
00:48:28 <pikhq_> Makes sense. It *is* a radical.
00:48:49 <shachaf> Can't I get one file with all the codepoints in a uniform format?
00:49:02 <shachaf> I thought UnicodeData.txt was supposed to be complete!
00:49:30 <shachaf> help
00:50:15 <Phantom_Hoover> so elliott how 'bout that minute huh
00:50:56 <elliott> how about some more minutes
00:51:20 <shachaf> zomg ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/BidiMirroring.txt
00:51:23 <shachaf> kmc: ☝
00:51:33 <shachaf> I feel like I should've known about that.
00:52:13 <kmc> haha nice
00:52:47 <kmc> wtf "PARAPHRASE BRACKET"
00:52:50 <kmc> who uses that
00:56:09 <shachaf> ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/NamesList.txt
00:56:12 <shachaf> Maybe that's the file I need.
00:56:23 <shachaf> Of course I'll need to write a more complicated program to process that. :-(
00:57:49 <Bike> I'm not sure I understand what @/expand is for in macarphone.
00:58:13 <kmc> i like the idea of a kid who loves Japan and always reads about Japan on the Internet (like you do) but doesn't have Japanese fonts
00:58:21 <kmc> and so he thinks that Japanese people use a writing system where you put four hex digits in a box
00:58:24 <kmc> and learns to read this
00:59:23 <elliott> kmc: that sounds like the plot to a really bad short story
00:59:32 <kmc> yeah
00:59:47 <kmc> better as a minor character detail in a story
00:59:59 <kmc> are the han characters in unicode ordered in any particular way?
01:00:05 <kmc> by stroke or something
01:00:10 <shachaf> They're ordered by codepoint.
01:00:42 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
01:01:03 <shachaf> 19F0KHMER SYMBOL TUTEYASAT * represents the second Ashadha in the lunar calendar during the Adhikameas leap year
01:01:06 <shachaf> This is great.
01:01:15 <shachaf> Lots of details UnicodeData.txt doesn't have.
01:01:43 <shachaf> @+These form a set of four quine corners, for quincuncial arrangement. They are also used in upper and lower pairs in mathematic, or more rarely in editorial usage as alternatives to half brackets.
01:01:43 <lambdabot> Unknown command, try @list
01:01:52 <Bike> what
01:01:58 -!- jfischoff has quit (Quit: jfischoff).
01:02:16 <shachaf> These form a set of four corner brackets and are used editorially. They are distinguished from mathematical floor and ceiling characters. Occasionally quine corners are substituted for half brackets.
01:02:48 <Bike> thank you
01:03:17 <shachaf> This style is sometimes known as open-face or blackboard-bold. Double-struck symbols already encoded in the Letterlike Symbols block and omitted here to avoid duplicate encoding. Considerable variation in font style is acceptable, as long as the glyphs retain the visual element of doubled strokes.
01:03:34 <shachaf> 1F374FORK AND KNIFE = restaurant, meal * glyph may show a fork and spoon * glyph may show a crossed fork and knife * glyph may show a fork and knife with a plate
01:04:26 <Bike> i like all the emoticons, myself
01:04:35 <Bike> iirc there are some ones for catgirlfaces
01:04:44 <elliott> monqy: do you want to be in the succession fort......
01:04:50 <monqy> idk
01:05:55 <elliott> monqy: :{
01:06:45 <oerjan> <elliott> kmc: that sounds like the plot to a really bad short story <-- reminds me of a part of the plot to a book series about swedish (i think?) immigrants to america. one guy got this swedish-english phrase book and learned it by heart. only when he tried to speak with americans did he discover that english isn't spoken as it is spelled.
01:07:30 <Lumpio-> But does the name list have 1F4A9 PILE OF POO?
01:08:02 <shachaf> = dog dirt
01:08:14 <Lumpio-> ook
01:08:54 <shachaf> 1F4A0 DIAMOND SHAPE WITH A DOT INSIDE = kawaii, cute * meaning of cuteness is based on association of glyph with shape of a flower
01:10:11 <kmc> oerjan: haha

01:15:57 <oerjan> wtf
01:16:06 <elliott> monqy: i want to start the fortress but it's impossible to play df properly without listening to its background music but i don't want to :{
01:16:24 <monqy> elliott: what if you get over your issue w/ its background music
01:17:19 <oerjan> those things take time, monqy
01:17:40 <elliott> monqy: df has atmosphere
01:18:01 <oerjan> that explains why the dorfs don't all croak immediately
01:52:12 <oerjan> typical, i get at least 40 http://ompldr.org/vZ2kycw/iqtest.PNG
01:52:59 <shachaf> monqy: lens now allows you to implement unsafeCoerce
01:53:10 <shachaf> "exciting new feature?"

01:55:20 <oerjan> and i can find no reasonably canonical interpretation that gives one of the numbers listed.
01:55:35 -!- madbr has joined.
01:55:41 <madbr> I kinda wonder... are there any ARM systems-on-a-chip that can do über-low-latency sound processing?
01:56:06 <oerjan> (the question is "how many squares do you see", btw)
01:57:17 <elliott> oerjan: I see 1024000
01:57:22 <elliott> they're all very little
01:57:28 <oerjan> O KAY
01:57:46 <kmc> madbr: there are SoC's with integrated DSP
01:58:23 <elliott> oerjan: do 'you' get it
01:58:41 <kmc> a combination of that and running a RTOS on the ARM part should suffice for many things
01:59:30 <madbr> hmm
01:59:45 <madbr> isn't the main CPU a lot faster?
01:59:57 <kmc> depends what you are doing i guess
02:00:11 <kmc> i don't know really
02:01:56 <oerjan> elliott: some small electric pixies explained it to me.

02:07:13 <Sgeo__> elliott, monqy Fiora there was an update a bit earlier
02:07:57 <oerjan> it has occured to me that the itflabtijtslwi deadfish could be converted to use decimal (and so allow bigger numbers) if i could just find a way to do multiplication in a fixed number of substitution commands.
02:08:05 <c00kiemon5ter> ohai o/
02:08:12 <madbr> kmc: tbh I've never worked with DSPs
02:08:25 <madbr> kmc : mostly because you never get access to them anyways
02:08:30 <madbr> (on cell phones)
02:09:55 <oerjan> which i _think_ i can reduce to sorting a list of unary numbers
02:13:08 <oerjan> which i still don't know how to do.
02:21:26 <madbr> yeah on cell phones it's almost impossible to get low latency
02:22:00 <madbr> they are built for angry birds and youtube, not for music
02:22:17 <madbr> (well, making music that is... consuming music is a-ok of course)
02:22:29 <madbr> and even angry birds is a stretch
02:22:36 <pikhq_> And they're not that good at any of it.
02:22:39 <Gregor> Welp, got my new business cards.
02:22:43 <Gregor> Printed on the back of playing cards.
02:22:52 <pikhq_> Gregor: I saw. Those things are awesome.
02:23:19 <Gregor> I'm still unsure X-D
02:23:32 <pikhq_> Shoulda made it pony themed.
02:23:48 <Gregor> Yeah, maybe not.
02:23:59 <Gregor> I think “they're playing cards” is plenty eccentric.
02:24:11 <pikhq_> I mean "instead of playing cards".
02:24:34 <Bike> can you actually play cards with 'em?
02:24:43 <pikhq_> But whatever. There's many ways of being eccentric, and all of them pretty nice.
02:25:05 <pikhq_> Bike: Yes.
02:25:16 <pikhq_> Bike: Except that he won't have a deck for long.
02:25:28 <Bike> That's ok, he can just downgrade to Pinochle.
02:26:01 <Gregor> It is a real, complete deck of playing cards, yes, but I don't intend to use them as such since that would defeat the whole “business card” thing ;)

04:31:45 <kmc> that is the most pretentious use of diæresis i have seen

04:32:02 <kmc> i don't think even the new yorker would do that
04:32:11 <pikhq_> Probably not.
04:32:18 <elliott> kmc: Do you know of a good XCompose configuration file?
04:32:21 <pikhq_> The excuse for "noël" is that it's spelled that way in French.

04:34:27 <shachaf> A66E?
04:36:04 <kmc> copy pasta
04:36:12 <madbr> elliott: you could use the spanish keyboard tbh
04:36:22 <pikhq_> elliott: I use the default.
04:36:24 <elliott> madbr: huh?
04:36:26 <madbr> qwerty and has a lot of common accents
04:36:35 <pikhq_> elliott: I guess I'll have to ask you if you find a better one.
04:36:37 <elliott> that's not really my use-case
04:36:51 <elliott> pikhq_: i think i found one that redid the whole thing from scratch with the one problem that i didn't like the combos it used
04:36:59 <kmc> if you just want accented latin characters, the default xcompose is fine
04:37:35 <kmc> don't think it covers vietnamese, but most european languages using the latin alphabet
04:37:37 <pikhq_> Yeah. You can type "Erdős" just fine that way.
04:37:43 <elliott> I would kind of like LaTeX support :P
04:37:44 <kmc> yeah =o
04:37:47 <elliott> faux-LaTeX that is
04:37:54 <pikhq_> Doesn't do Vietnamese, yeah.
04:37:56 <kmc> elliott: there's a gtk input mode
04:38:03 <elliott> yeah but I think it's bad
04:38:05 <elliott> = limited
04:38:05 <kmc> or... whatever thingy gtk uses
04:38:07 <kmc> yeah probably
04:38:18 <kmc> insert gnome bashing here
04:38:22 <shachaf> mathematical characters like ☭
04:38:39 <pikhq_> 'Course, Vietnamese is a Roman alphabet rendering stress test.
04:38:44 <kmc> shachaf: you should write a c compiler named cccp
04:39:02 <kmc> oh it is already a research group name
04:39:04 <kmc> sigh
04:39:16 <kmc> bet it's awkward when they get visiting postdocs from baltic states
04:39:18 <Bike> kmc: how do you tell what Multi_key is in your setup, do you know?
04:39:31 <kmc> well, it's just an X keysym
04:39:35 <kmc> you can bind it with xmodmap
04:39:48 <kmc> but i guess for the default you woud have to look in the keyboard layout definition files
04:39:57 <Bike> mm... thanks
04:39:59 <pikhq_> I suspect by default it's unbound.
04:40:16 <Bike> probably
04:40:17 <kmc> or just open xev and then mash all keys
04:40:22 <pikhq_> It's Win here.
04:40:25 <Bike> yeah that was my previous method
04:40:40 <Bike> i already have win as hyper. i think i'm running out of weird modifier keys to use.
04:40:52 <kmc> on thinkpads you can use Fn as Multi_key
04:40:54 <elliott> i wonder what to put compose on
04:40:57 <elliott> i use right-alt as my xmonad key
04:41:04 <elliott> I guess I could use right win
04:41:04 <kmc> because it sends a key event if you press and release it without pressing anything else
04:41:06 <pikhq_> Right-win.
04:41:18 <Bike> oh, it does? that's news to me
04:41:18 <elliott> kind of awkward to press tho :(
04:41:30 <elliott> i should buy a happy hacking keyboard so all the keys i can possibly press are readily accessible
04:41:43 <pikhq_> Yeah, but composing glyphs is a relatively infrequent thing.
04:41:47 <elliott> and switch to colemak and become a hermit and retreat into the antarctic wastelands and kill myself
04:41:49 <Bike> i suppose i could use H-Menu instead of Menu for wm shit
04:42:33 <kmc> i have left ctrl for opening browser tabs, left win for opening native apps, left alt for alt, right alt for WM actions, right win for Compose, and right Ctrl for nothing because it's a fucking pain to hit
04:42:48 <kmc> i also have Fn send Esc if you press and release, but I don't use it much
04:42:51 <pikhq_> elliott: Alas, I don't have the option.
04:42:54 <kmc> there is a hack to use Caps Lock as both Ctrl and Esc
04:43:02 <kmc> should switch to that
04:43:08 <kmc> i mainly use Ctrl-[ for Esc these days
04:43:38 <elliott> pikhq_: well antarctica is a little inaccessible I admit, but suicide?
04:43:55 <pikhq_> elliott: I was referring to the entire list.
04:44:06 <pikhq_> Suicide is essentially always an option, of course.
04:44:14 <kmc> colemak is for people who think dvorak is too mainstream
04:44:35 <Bike> what a terrifying thought
04:44:38 <pikhq_> A profoundly suboptimal option, but nevertheless.
04:44:43 <elliott> well if I am going to switch to an obscure keyboard layout
04:44:53 <elliott> then I better switch to the one whose superiority to QWERTY I am most convinced of
04:45:22 <kmc> i think it's pretty clear that both dvorak and colemak are superior to qwerty
04:45:46 <Bike> oh, are there good studies now?
04:45:47 <kmc> maybe colemak is slightly better than dvorak, maybe not, buti don't think it matters
04:45:54 <elliott> kmc: I phrased it badly
04:46:00 <kmc> and dvorak is much more standard
04:46:03 <elliott> "I'd better switch to the one that I am most convinced is best"
04:46:25 <elliott> well I don't use other people's keyboards very much but it's awkward enough to switch to Dvorak on those that I'd rather just remember how to type with QWERTY
04:46:34 <kmc> it is not that awkward
04:46:48 <kmc> if i have to use someone else's computer for more than 5 minutes i would usually want to switch it
04:46:56 <elliott> I mean I already use xmonad and customise the programs I use fairly heavily
04:46:58 <kmc> switching to dvorak takes about 30 seconds in most operating sysem
04:47:03 <elliott> so someone else's computer is always going to be awkward
04:47:18 <kmc> winter is always going to be cold so you might as well go outside naked
04:47:19 <elliott> some people restrict themselves to almost-stock settings and the like to avoid that painfulness and that's fine but those aren't my priorities
04:47:58 <elliott> kmc: I don't find the gain compelling enough for the (expected) loss in the vast majority of my computer-using time given that the scenario it helps with is already moderately painful
04:48:13 <kmc> ok, fine
04:48:36 <kmc> when i went to the computer store to evaluate laptop keyboards, it was very useful that i could switch them to dvorak
04:49:16 <pikhq_> "i went to the [...] store" — kmc, noted jokester

04:53:20 <elliott> kmc: you don't have to type on laptop keyboards to know they're all shit
04:53:32 <kmc> hehe
04:53:40 <kmc> sure but i still want to know which one is least shit
04:54:00 <shachaf> kmc: You should get a Model M.
04:54:04 <elliott> model ms suck
04:54:05 <shachaf> "the one true keyboard?"
04:54:07 <elliott> well they don't suck
04:54:10 <elliott> but they're seriously overrated
04:54:10 <shachaf> model m = the future
04:54:15 <elliott> (I typed on a Model M for >a year)
04:54:43 <kmc> agree
04:54:58 <kmc> i used a real model m for a few years and a unicomp model m clone for a few more
04:55:23 <elliott> even ignoring practical constraints like it has a ton of useless keys and is fucking huge and makes a racket, the buckling springs are just way too heavy really
04:55:42 <elliott> unless you have mechanical fingers of steel or whatever I'm pretty sure another keyboard will be better for typing
04:56:04 <madbr> useless keys?
04:56:11 <kmc> but it's the mythical keyboard of Real Hackers from before I was born so it must be good
04:56:24 <shachaf> You know what's overrated?
04:56:29 <shachaf> Not having → and End keys.
04:56:32 <Sgeo__> Calling things overrated?
04:56:36 <kmc> meh screw keyboards, you should become a gun nerd
04:56:52 <kmc> there you can argue the superiority of designs almost 100 years old
04:57:00 <elliott> kmc: it's probably easier to kill people with a model m than a gun
04:57:12 <kmc> call the mythbusters
04:57:23 <elliott> this seems like a good time to bring up how much I fucking loathe numpads
04:57:27 <elliott> and wish they would retroactively never have existed
04:58:15 <madbr> shachaf: oh got yeah I can't live without home/end
04:58:36 <madbr> I have to admit that numpads... suck
04:58:57 <pikhq_> elliott: They're there for those people that want to input lots of numbers but can't be bothered to learn to touch type.
04:59:01 <pikhq_> i.e. morons
04:59:16 <elliott> well for spreadsheets/accounting and stuff I assume they are more efficient than the numpad
04:59:21 <kmc> if you only input numbers all day, presumably it is less finger movement
04:59:22 <kmc> yeah
04:59:22 <elliott> but it should really just be a separate device
04:59:23 <Bike> well, my laptop keyboard is numpad-free
04:59:24 <Bike> suck it haters.
04:59:33 <elliott> and indeed you can buy USB numpads!
04:59:39 <elliott> so all we have to do is bring USB back in time
04:59:50 <kmc> indeed you can find USB numpads for free in basements
05:00:03 <madbr> bike: that's fine
05:00:42 <madbr> bike: it's when they start removing other stuff like home, end, pgup, pgdown, F keys, delete, insert...
05:00:57 <Sgeo__> Without a numpad it's harder to play NetHack!
05:01:03 <Sgeo__> For people not used to vi-style keys
05:01:04 <shachaf> No, it's easier.
05:01:09 <Bike> hjkl is the future, sgeo.
05:01:13 <shachaf> Those aren't people, Sgeo__.
05:01:15 <quintopia> like irc
05:01:16 <madbr> bike: no way
05:01:28 <quintopia> irc is the messaging system of the future
05:01:44 <pikhq_> Insufficiently XJSONML
05:01:45 <Bike> irc navigated via hjkl.
05:02:01 <pikhq_> ... I'm sorry for inventing that
05:02:05 <madbr> bike: you can't do that, hjkl types letters
05:02:09 <madbr> also wrong shape
05:02:16 <madbr> has to be reverse T shaped
05:02:18 <quintopia> madbr: you hit i before you want letters
05:02:18 <madbr> like WASD
05:02:22 <Bike> no, see, you just get a virtual keyboard, which you move around on with hjkl
05:02:27 <quintopia> lol
05:02:46 <madbr> IJKL would be acceptable
05:02:54 <madbr> HJKL is the wrong shape
05:02:57 <elliott> colemak tries to keep zxcv in place
05:03:01 <elliott> if i was making a keyboard layout
05:03:06 <elliott> i would try to keep hjklyubn in the same place
05:03:16 <kmc> and you would squander half of the home row
05:03:21 <elliott> that's ok
05:03:27 <elliott> vikeys is no squandering
05:03:34 <pikhq_> Because he'd make the left side chorded.
05:03:35 <madbr> hjkl belongs on VT terminals
05:03:46 <kmc> 'j' is one of the least used letters in English and it has the best possible spot in QWERTY
05:04:08 * pikhq_ uses it :(
05:04:20 <Bike> but what about words like "jalopy"
05:04:35 <pikhq_> My name starts with the most important QWERTY letter!
05:04:35 <kmc> the only less used letters are x, q, and z
05:04:42 <kmc> you should feel special then
05:05:05 <pikhq_> Josiah "pikhq" Worcester does.
05:05:36 <shachaf> kmc: "p. sure the most important qwerty letter is h"
05:06:40 <quintopia> the most important letter is q
05:06:43 <quintopia> q is the awesome
05:06:48 <elliott> for once i agree with quintopia
05:06:51 <pikhq_> I did stick it in my nick.
05:06:52 <elliott> seriously q is the best fucking letter in the alphabet

05:07:42 <kmc> elliott: how do you type that upside down 'd'
05:07:46 <quintopia> agreement? this is too much. i may have to recant in order to not agree with elliott
05:07:46 <kmc> hurf durf
05:07:47 <madbr> except arabic
05:08:00 <madbr> even jews have given up on q
05:08:03 <quintopia> but it's hard to recant a plain fact
05:08:29 <elliott> madbr: fuck languages
05:08:33 <elliott> they can be as wrong as they want
05:08:36 <elliott> q will still be the greatest
05:08:42 <elliott> it doesn't even matter how it's pronounced
05:09:23 <pikhq_> I vote we replace "k" with "q".

06:30:36 <Sgeo__> Oh: I talked to that kid again today
06:30:44 <elliott> what kid
06:31:05 <Sgeo__> The one who thinks prepared queries don't fully protect against SQL Injection
06:31:31 <Sgeo__> His new argument: The null byte breaks stuff, and according to him, PHP and most other languages except for Pascal use C-style strings
06:31:55 <Bike> it must be sad to be trapped in the seventies
06:32:10 <elliott> the null byte "breaks stuff"
06:32:18 <Sgeo__> elliott, not his words, sorry
06:32:18 <elliott> because somehow your input string gets a null byte in the middle of it
06:32:28 <elliott> despite your strings being null-terminated
06:32:36 <Sgeo__> elliott, assumed to be because of malicious user
06:32:49 <elliott> Sgeo__: what?
06:33:00 <elliott> i'm saying it is impossible to have a nul in the middle of a null-terminated string
06:33:04 <elliott> hopefully you agree
06:33:12 <Sgeo__> Yes
06:34:03 <Sgeo__> I checked out and noted to him that the SQLite and MySQL prepared query C-level APIs, for the parts where you give the API a string, it asks for a length (SQLite makes it optional either give length or assume nul-terminated string)
06:34:30 <Sgeo__> He said he definitely did attack a PHP script that used MySQL prepared queries with a null byte
06:36:25 <elliott> not sure why you are bothering to argue with this idiot
06:38:26 <Sgeo__> Oh, also with the null-terminated thing: He talked about using the null byte to do weird file system stuff. I said that was an OS-level issue, he said no because it works on both Windows and Linux
06:38:46 <Sgeo__> Found a page in the PHP documentation that mentions it, he just sort of said that it was wrong
06:38:54 <Bike> hahaha
06:38:56 <elliott> not sure why you are bothering to argue with this idiot

10:49:26 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: guess what i didn't do
11:02:29 <Phantom_Hoover> elliott, fuck's sake man
11:08:40 <Sgeo__> I found a definition of ? that tricked me for a short while
11:09:03 <Sgeo__> It's a bit cheaty, but it doesn't even work anyway
11:09:14 <monqy> oh?
11:09:35 <Sgeo__> a ? b = (a+b)/2 + 2
11:09:59 <monqy> btw what is?
11:10:01 <Sgeo__> If I did the math right (I didn't write it down), a ? a = a + 2 and a ? a ? a = a + 3
11:10:13 <Sgeo__> Unfortunately a ? a ? a ? a != 4
11:11:08 <Sgeo__> monqy, a vague notion of some operation, such that addition is sort of like repeated ?
11:11:35 <Sgeo__> I think it's kind of fun that that given operation works for a?a and a?a?a but not a?a?a?a
11:11:48 <monqy> so what are the properties said ? has to satisfy
11:12:59 <Sgeo__> Ideally, repeating it should result in addition, and it shouldn't be too trivial
11:13:14 <monqy> in what sense / in what sense
11:13:49 <Phantom_Hoover> i think Sgeo__ is unhappy with the successor function and wants to invent his own
11:13:51 <Sgeo__> Hard to pin down what I think is too trivial, but as far as the first in what sense: a?a = a+2; a?a?a = a+3; a?a?a?a = a+4, etc.
11:14:14 <monqy> ummm the successor function is unary Phantom_Hoover
11:14:30 <elliott> a ? b = Sa
11:14:32 <elliott> too trivial???
11:14:40 <monqy> not commutative
11:14:54 <elliott> you have to give things up monqy .............. to achieve ur dreams
11:15:27 <monqy> heck it's!! not even associative!!!
11:15:32 <Sgeo__> I don't think I'm too worried about commutativity. But that definition is definitely too trivial. (Also wrong, but hey... although, come to think of it)
11:15:54 <monqy> is not associative what you mean by wrong
11:16:10 <Sgeo__> What I mean by wrong is a?a = a+1 when I was looking for a?a = a+2
11:16:18 <monqy> oh
11:16:29 <monqy> "that too"
11:16:42 <Sgeo__> Although, I guess looking for an operator where a?a = a+1 might be more fruitful... and again ignoring trivial things >.>
11:16:47 <elliott> a ? b = Sa unless this is the first ? and then it's a instead
11:16:58 <elliott> definition of ?: a ? a = a + 1
11:17:09 <monqy> a ? ... ? a = n where n is the number of a appearing in there
11:17:17 <elliott> a ? b = a + (b/a)????
11:17:27 <elliott> 'a promising start' -people
11:17:48 <elliott> Sgeo__: ps what associativity is ?
11:17:50 <elliott> or can you pick either
11:18:20 <Sgeo__> Doesn't matter, I guess
11:18:31 <monqy>
11:18:45 <Sgeo__> Also, I think f(a,b) = ln(e^a + e^b) is a fun operator
11:19:07 <Sgeo__> I was sort of hoping that that or a variation of it could be used for this, but it's fun in and of itself, I think
11:19:35 <monqy> how about the "cool associativity" where a ? a ? a ? a = (a ? a) ? (a ? a)
11:19:46 <monqy> :=, rather
11:20:00 <elliott> the Double Cool Associativity whereby a ? a ? a = a + 3

11:20:25 <elliott> o1-o fkl 4po jng
11:20:30 <elliott> monqy: do you ever give up
11:20:37 <elliott> that was me giving up on writing that sentence
11:20:56 <monqy> what was the sentence...............................
11:21:04 <elliott> i dont know
11:21:05 <elliott> its lost
11:21:06 <elliott> forever now
11:21:07 <monqy> :[
11:21:08 <elliott> R. I. P.
11:22:09 <fizzie> If you have the properties that a ? a = a + 2 and a ? a ? a = a + 3, then (a ? a ? a) ? (a ? a ? a) = (a + 3) ? (a + 3) = a + 3 + 2 = a + 5 -- but you also wanted a ? a ? a ? a ? a ? a in general to be a + 6, which is perhaps a bit of a problem.
11:22:54 <monqy> i don't think sgeo cares about associativity though, which is weird given the way he was writing his stuff!!!
11:23:04 <fizzie> Also going backwards from a?a?a = a+3, a?a = a+2, I suppose then a = a+1.
11:23:05 <monqy> "it's almost like he hadn't thought it through"
11:23:32 <elliott> fizzie: imo Double Cool Associativity solves these problems? and more?
11:23:58 <fizzie> Double Cool probably solves anything, it's so cool.
11:24:23 <elliott> fizzie: other solutions: infinity number system where every number is infinity
11:24:26 <elliott> a = a+1? no problem
11:24:35 <elliott> a+5 = a+6? no problem
11:25:24 <Sgeo__> Well, is it really a big deal to say that ((a ? a) ? a) ? a not always = (a ? a) ? (a ? a)
11:25:25 <Sgeo__> ?
11:25:37 <elliott> sgeo i think the a = a + 1 thing might be more of a problem
11:27:01 <monqy> it's unfair to say that a = a + 1 when he hasn't even explained his notation
11:27:12 <monqy> maybe a = a + 2!!!!!
11:27:34 <elliott> well
11:27:43 <elliott> if we say that + is defined in the "usual" manner
11:28:01 <elliott> a + Sb = a ? (a + b) -- adjust for associativity
11:28:16 <elliott> a + 1 = a -- base case
11:28:30 <elliott> i dont quite know why you wouldnt just go with a ? a = a + 1 tho
11:28:40 <elliott> not like 1 is privileged as a base-case for repeaty thirng rj jwraw klsf aew; ';.
11:28:42 <elliott> i gave up again
11:28:44 * Sgeo__ can live with a ? a = a + 1
11:28:52 <monqy> then whats a ? (a + 1)!!!!!!!
11:29:24 <elliott> monqy: 4
11:29:43 <Sgeo__> Reason I was thinking a ? a = a + 2 is because a + a = a * 2
11:31:17 <elliott> i'll let fizzie figure it out
11:31:27 <elliott> Q:

11:46:02 <oklofok> "<Sgeo__> Well, is it really a big deal to say that ((a ? a) ? a) ? a not always = (a ? a) ? (a ? a)" if you don't have associativity, computations become harder usually.
11:46:40 <oklofok> i mean calculations
11:57:11 <Sgeo__> Fuck
11:57:27 <Sgeo__> Suppose a?a = a+1
11:57:42 <Sgeo__> Then (a+1)?(a+1) = a+1+1=a+2
11:58:10 <Sgeo__> But, ideally, (a?a)?a = a+2 = (a+1)?a
11:58:23 <Sgeo__> So (a+1)?a = (a+1)?(a+1)
11:59:25 <oklopol> duh
12:00:38 <oklopol> oh was the idea to change the definition so that a?a = a+1 for all a but you still get some nontrivial operation?
12:00:44 <oklopol> so that a?b may not be a+1
12:01:05 <Sgeo__> Pretty much, yeah
12:01:12 <oklopol> then why do you say a+2 = (a+1)?a
12:01:37 <elliott> oklopol: because the point is to have addition be "repeated ?"
12:01:45 <elliott> so you have to define addition inductively by ?
12:01:51 <oklopol> that's a very good poitn
12:01:52 <oklopol> point
12:02:24 <oklopol> in any case is there an associative operation on N such that a?a = a+1 for all a?
12:02:36 <Deewiant> And the end result will probably be the successor operation, ignoring the second argument of ? :-P
12:02:52 <Sgeo__> oklofok, there's an operation
12:03:08 <Sgeo__> Not sure if it's associative, but
12:03:18 <Sgeo__> log_2(2^a + 2^b) = a?b
12:03:22 <oklopol> if you want to have addition be repeated ?, then i'm pretty sure it has to be successor . takeleftarg
12:04:11 <oklopol> hmm
12:04:22 <Sgeo__> a?a = log_2(2*2^a) = log_2 2 + log_2 2^a = 1 + a
12:04:29 <elliott> Deewiant: that's ruled out by Sgeo__'s undefined nebulous triviality rule
12:04:45 <oklopol> Sgeo__: so what's a?b?
12:04:54 <elliott> log_2(2^a + 2^b)
12:04:55 <elliott> presumably
12:05:00 <oklopol> yeah
12:05:41 <oklopol> then (a?b)?c = log_2(2^log_2(2^a + 2^b) + 2^c) = associative
12:05:42 <oklopol> cool
12:06:07 <elliott> but is (a?a)?a = a+2?????????????? the mysteries
12:06:30 <oklopol> oh i though he checked that
12:06:35 <oklopol> i guess it's not
12:06:47 <oklopol> or is it :D :D
12:06:51 <elliott> i dont think it is
12:06:56 <Sgeo__> No. At least, I'm fairly sure the answer is no. I came up with the general thing against the whole ? idea when wondering about this particular operation
12:06:57 <Deewiant> It's not
12:06:57 <elliott> god (W|A) doesn't seem to think so either
12:07:01 <oklopol> yeah
12:07:33 <fizzie> You would have to have that (a+1)?a = a+2 thing if you wanted (a?a)?a = a+2.
12:07:34 <oklopol> so you have an operation that's associative such that a?a = a+1
12:09:46 <oklopol> in general, (a+n)?a = a+n+1 for all a with that idea
12:09:56 <oklopol> i mean what fizzie just said
12:10:29 <oklopol> and we require nothing for a?b where b is less than a
12:10:38 <oklopol> erm
12:10:41 <oklopol> a is less than b
12:10:46 <Phantom_Hoover> oi elliott are you ever going to do that thin
12:10:51 <Phantom_Hoover> g
12:11:15 <oklopol> so that's the characterization right, any binary function such that a?b = a+1 when b \leq a
12:11:40 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: ye but im tired right now so do you really want me to set up the fortress in that state
12:11:48 <elliott> consider how horrifying awake elliott fortresses are
12:11:59 <Phantom_Hoover> just do worldgen and pick an embark then
12:12:06 <oklopol> in particular, you can make it commutative right
12:12:24 <oklopol> a?b = max(a, b) + 1
12:13:00 <oklopol> so, this is the unique commutative binary operation f such that addition is repeated f i guess
12:13:30 <oklopol> we could publish this in the journal of ridiculous theorems
12:13:31 <elliott> congrates Sgeo__
12:14:52 <Deewiant> oklopol: If it's repeated with both arguments being the result of the previous, there are others
12:16:02 <oklopol> so my requirement was a + b = ((((a?a)?a)?a)?...)?a where a appears b+1 times on the right
12:16:11 <oklopol> with yours, err
12:16:25 <oklopol> that's just a?a = a+1
12:16:45 <elliott> p. sure Sgeo__ meant what oklopol meant
12:16:47 <oklopol> and then Sgeo__'s is a commutative associative operation
12:16:57 <oklopol> or pretty much anything else.

12:38:36 <elliott> fizzie: do you know of a thing to get outgoing messages automatically split when they're too big w/ irssi
12:38:46 <elliott> i found this ancient perl script to do it but idk if it's any good or whatever
12:38:56 <fizzie> scripts.irssi.org splitlong.pl is what I use.
12:40:09 <fizzie> Except I use it with a /set splitlong_max_length 400 which is overly cautious, but the default -- which is calculate the exact limit programmatically -- sometimes miscalculates stuff due to things like freenode cloaks.
12:40:45 <fizzie> (The "fis@iris.zem.fi" it believes will be in the message is shorter than the real "fis@unaffiliated/fizzie".)
12:41:06 <elliott> what i found was http://scripts.irssi.org/html/autowrap.pl.html
12:41:39 <elliott> fizzie: solution: get rid of your cloak since you have a cool hostname??
12:42:12 <fizzie> Well http://scripts.irssi.org/scripts/autowrap.pl and http://scripts.irssi.org/scripts/splitlong.pl they're quite similar, except autowrap always uses that limit of 400, it seems.
12:42:21 <fizzie> Slightly curious that I hit the same number independently.
12:42:27 <elliott> wow, Debian has literally a kajillion identds
12:43:15 <fizzie> And it binds to event_send_text vs. sig_command_msg so it might affect some cases where the other would not, but it's split everything I've typed just fine.
12:43:36 <fizzie> The cool hostname unworks if I connect to a non-IPv6 server these days. :/
12:44:08 <elliott> fizzie: I connect with this fancy SSL thing. And then authenticate with this fancy SASL thing.

12:53:19 <fizzie> You can say -6 to /connect and /server.
12:53:37 <ion> I tried SSL/TLS with IRC, but WeeChat’s upgrade without dropping connections (as well as Irssi’s for that matter) doesn’t work with encrypted connections.
12:54:23 <elliott> ion: For irssi that's not a problem since it doesn't get new releases.
12:54:32 <ion> heh
12:54:35 <elliott> fizzie: is there a way to -6ify my existing server entry without retyping my settings :(
12:54:38 <Deewiant> Oh noes, you'll have to disconnect for a few seconds! YOU MIGHT MISS SOMETHING IMPORTANT
12:54:51 <Deewiant> elliott: /save and edit the config file?
12:54:57 <fizzie> That could work.
12:54:59 <elliott> Deewiant: like a commoner!
12:55:12 <fizzie> Maybe if you add the server with the same name, it only edits the explicitly specified settings? Then again, maybe NOT.
12:55:15 <ion> deewiant: It’s not about missing messages, it’s about unnecessary quit/join spam.
12:55:24 <elliott> Oh, I should set up the verify-server-SSL-key thing too.
12:55:27 <elliott> What if someone IMPERSONATES FREENODE?
12:55:33 <ion> Especially if you use nightly builds and upgrade daily.
12:55:48 <fizzie> I did think about maybe SSLing, I think bip does that. But it doesn't do the SASL auth.
12:55:49 <Deewiant> I think that's a reasonable source of quit/join spam
12:55:50 <elliott> (it is so about missing messages)
12:55:59 <ion> elliott: What if YOU HAVE CHATTED ON A FAKE NETWORK ALL THIS TIME?
12:56:08 <fizzie> What if I'm a fake fizzie too.
12:56:17 <fizzie> You should "verify my key", if you know what I mean.
12:56:21 <fizzie> (I don't know what I mean.)
12:56:59 * ion signs fizzie’s public key, if you catch my drift
12:58:50 <elliott> I think if I mosh into my dtached irssi which connects with IPv6 ~verified~ SSL and authenticates with SASL using an identd that might just be too many things and I would explode.
12:58:59 <fizzie> My key has 18 signatures. And apparently expired in 2006.
12:59:06 <fizzie> (I don't get much PGP'd mail.)
12:59:09 <elliott> Oh hey, /server -6 irc.freenode.net DTRT.
12:59:15 <elliott> It just didn't show it as DoingTRT in /server list.

13:00:28 <elliott> Oh, oidentd looks Totally Bloated.
13:00:33 <elliott> Hierarchical configuration files and everything!
13:01:35 <fizzie> elliott: That's weird; "/server blah" is supposed to just connect to blah, not edit the server list.
13:02:01 <fizzie> ("/SERVER disconnects the server in active window and connects to the new one. It will take the same arguments as /CONNECT.")
13:02:44 <Deewiant> I never liked that /server command in irssi. I was always worried that I'd accidentally disconnect.
13:02:49 <elliott> fizzie: Or was it /server add?
13:02:55 <elliott> Apparently it was: /server add -6 irc.freenode.net
13:02:56 <fizzie> That would make more sense.
13:03:05 <fizzie> It's nice that it did the right thing.

13:05:08 <ion> That’ll let you add alternative servers in case one is down and it will also connect correctly on startup.
13:05:14 <fizzie> I believe this was already done, and the point was just to modify the settings of the server.
13:05:26 <ion> And you’ll be able to add channels to be joined automatically to networks.

(The bouncer listens to all connections in the same port and differentiates networks by the password, but irssi refuses to accept multiple identical host:port servers, so I have to use dummy names and /set proxy_address 127.0.0.1, which is stupid.)

13:06:34 <oklopol> finnish people do
13:06:36 <fizzie> Sure.
13:06:44 <oklopol> no one else
13:06:48 <ion> IRCnet is probably the most popular network among Finns.
13:07:43 <Deewiant> And now, a languages joke: http://i.imgur.com/fIB5o.png
13:07:49 <fizzie> http://irc.netsplit.de/tmp/networks/top10_2012u.png -- it's still quite high up there.
13:08:18 <fizzie> Beats Undernet and EFnet in users quite clearly.
13:08:48 <fizzie> Also Freenode has an interestingly strong week-periodic thing, stronger than the other networks.
13:09:03 <fizzie> I suppose it's because SERIOUS BUSINESSMEN use it for SERIOUS BUSINESS.
13:09:08 <elliott> EFnet scares me a bit.
13:09:36 <oklopol> i've used quakenet, freenode, ircnet, ef
13:09:40 <oklopol> aaand dal
13:09:41 <Deewiant> I thought EFnet was at least bigger than Undernet.
13:09:52 <fizzie> I've used those same networks as o.
13:09:53 <oklopol> ef is kind of iffy
13:10:12 <Deewiant> I'm currently on QuakeNet, FreeNode, IRCnet, EFnet, and OFTC, and I've also used Undernet and maybe Rizon.
13:10:31 <fizzie> I'm no longer in anywhere else than Freenode and IRCnet. :/
13:11:27 <Deewiant> And I've been on Ustream and other specific things with non-IRC-client programs.
13:11:41 <oklopol> i'm on free and quake because those are the only places where people get sad if i don't show up on channels, and i can't manage to make irc autoconnect when my computer explodes and i have to restart.
13:11:56 <oklopol> what the heck is webchat
13:12:09 <elliott> fizzie: Can you write an identd for me?
13:12:48 <elliott> What it should do is if you have an ~/.identrc it runs that passing the server that's asking for the identity, and uses its output as the identity.

13:14:25 <fizzie> Yes, but I don't understand it.
13:14:39 <elliott> Deewiant: Do YOU use an identd??? Wait, maybe you answered already.

13:14:54 <Deewiant> elliott: (Can't you tell with /whois?)
13:15:06 <elliott> Deewiant: That would be... cheating.

13:17:04 <Deewiant> fizzie: Yes, I have a virtual server from DE.Punkt.
13:17:04 <elliott> guys
13:17:14 <elliott> maybe you should live somewhere it doesn't snow
13:17:16 <oklopol> and i actually prolly have better suited shoes but changing shoes is such an emotional rollercoaster.
13:17:33 <Deewiant> fizzie: I (think I) changed the RDNS now via the Web UI, but if it worked it hasn't propagated yet.
13:18:25 <elliott> Why does freenode even bother to make ident requests?
13:18:26 <Deewiant> Well, I can query their nameservers directly, of course; it did work.
13:18:28 <elliott> I mean, it's 2012.
13:19:37 <elliott> I guess I'll install oidentd since nullidentd requires inetd. But still, ew.
13:21:09 <fizzie> oklopol: I have something like five or six pairs of shoes maybe, if you count everything? But only one pair of borderline sensible winter ones.
13:21:30 <fizzie> All the shoes are kind of different type of shoes, I don't really have redundant shoes.
13:21:31 <elliott> I have one (1) pair of shoes I actually wear.
13:21:33 <elliott> They're awful.
13:22:07 <fizzie> My wife takes care of the redundant shoe ownership tasks in our household, which is I think a reasonably common setup.
13:22:15 <Deewiant> I have three pairs of outdoor shoes currently, two of which are redundant in the sense that I use them only when it's warm, and interchangeably.
13:22:35 <elliott> fizzie: If alt+<direction> produces "OD" and "OC" for left and right respectively, what's misconfigured?
13:22:38 <elliott> I'm so sick of this stuff not working.
13:22:44 <elliott> It never seems to get better.
13:23:44 <fizzie> elliott: I don't know how you managed to make the alt key not work, to be honest.

13:24:17 <elliott> P.S. this is in bash.
13:24:26 <elliott> This is one of the most persistently broken things.
13:24:38 <elliott> Oh hey.
13:24:41 <elliott> I think it might be mosh's fault.
13:24:43 <elliott> kmc!!!!!!!!!!
13:24:57 <Deewiant> They seem to produce [D and [C for me in zsh, and do some kind of cursor movement in bash.

13:25:42 <fizzie> Alt in general, including keys in irssi, have worked out of the box for me pretty much always. Though in bash alt-arrows seem to insert [D and [C for me.
13:25:52 <fizzie> I don't know what they should do there.
13:26:09 <elliott> http://www.freenode.net/certfp/certfp-irssi.shtml guys what is this about
13:26:20 <elliott> it seems to be a totally different thing to the things i have been setting up
13:26:22 -!- Arc_Koen has joined.
13:26:27 <elliott> it's... setting yourself up a certificate so freenode can verify you??? what is this
13:26:38 <elliott> is this the sasl stuff
13:26:44 <fizzie> Yes, it seems to be a client certificate.
13:26:47 <elliott> that i have a script handle for me
13:26:50 <fizzie> I did not know they even did client certificates.
13:26:50 <elliott> right but what is that
13:26:56 <elliott> does it have a point???
13:27:04 <elliott> it looks sort of like you can get passwordless logins by doing this
13:27:12 <elliott> but i have no idea how it differs from sasl in terms of goodness or whatever
13:27:23 <fizzie> It's X.509, it's like X-X-Xcellent.
13:27:55 <fizzie> "CertFP allows clients connected via SSL with a client SSL certificate to authenticate to services using the SHA1 fingerprint of their client SSL certificate. One must have registered with services."
13:28:02 <fizzie> I wonder if this is some kind of a new dealie.
13:28:33 <elliott> this seems possibly fancier than sasl??
13:28:55 <fizzie> It seems vaguely sensible in the sense that if you're doing SSL already, it's sort of in the same rigamarole.
13:29:10 <fizzie> I wonder if they've managed to not screw up the cloak thing when authenticating over that thing, though.
13:29:29 <fizzie> Since the usual nickserv-pass-in-PASS thing they did screw up.
13:29:33 <elliott> Cloaks work for me with SASL if that helps?
13:29:40 <elliott> And I've used NickServ pass in server password for forever.
13:29:44 <elliott> My cloak's always worked.
13:30:24 <fizzie> SASL is I think the only guaranteed thing.
13:30:47 <fizzie> With server-pass it sometimes doesn't manage to enable the cloak before joining, if services are being laggy.
13:31:02 <elliott> I hear SASL is sometimes non-guaranteed i.e. times out or something.
13:31:19 <fizzie> I guess that might happen. But when it works, it always happens before anything else can happen.
13:32:07 <elliott> Now, if you want to verify the Freenode server SSL certificate against a certificate authority (CA), then you’ll need to download the CA certificate from the authority that signed the server certificate. In this case, its Gandi.net, and their CA certificate file can be found here: http://crt.gandi.net/GandiStandardSSLCA.crt. However, using the file in its native DER format for Irssi wasn’t working for me. So, using openssl, I converted the bina
13:32:14 <elliott> be found here: http://crt.gandi.net/GandiStandardSSLCA.crt. However,
13:32:17 <elliott> using the file in its native DER format for Irssi wasn’t working for me. So, using openssl, I converted the binary
13:32:20 <elliott> DER data file to PEM format, at which the Freenode certificate would properly verify:
13:32:23 <elliott> Sometimes I just don't trust technology, you know?
13:32:24 <elliott> (TODO: Get that wrapping thing being a thing.)
13:33:56 <fizzie> Mhm, bip can do client SSL certificates, maybe I should also set up that Freenode thing.
13:34:00 <fizzie> Though later.
13:34:09 <elliott> Let's try this.

13:34:21 -!- elliott has joined.
13:34:30 <elliott> Oh man.
13:34:31 <fizzie> I wonder what is the difference between "local minimum found" and "local minimum possible" from MATLAB fminunc.
13:34:38 <elliott> Did that, like, work?
13:35:32 <fizzie> You are at least identd'd.
13:35:39 <elliott> And I set ssl_verify, so I assume that's... working.
13:36:11 <elliott> Aha but.
13:36:15 <elliott> 13:34:21 -!- hostname : li278-81.members.linode.com 178.79.159.81
13:36:18 <elliott> That doesn't look very IPv6.
13:36:26 <elliott> (Is there a way to tell whether I'm using an IPv6 connection?)
13:36:38 <elliott> 13:34:15 -!- Your host is morgan.freenode.net[64.32.24.176/6697], running version ircd-seven-1.1.3
13:36:47 <fizzie> That doesn't look very six.
13:36:48 <elliott> I guess that isn't terribly reassuring.
13:37:04 <elliott> Is there no SSL IPv6 service or something?
13:37:17 <Deewiant> Why are you using a server in the USA?
13:37:18 <fizzie> That doesn't sound like it'd make sense.
13:37:31 <elliott> Deewiant: I'm just using irc.freenode.net, man.
13:37:34 <elliott> fizzie: Wait, what doesn't?
13:37:49 <elliott> Also did you know: a whole two (2) people have edited the Esolang wiki anonymously using an IPv6 address.
13:37:57 <fizzie> Not having SSL for the IPv6.
13:38:02 <Deewiant> elliott: Yeah, and I question the sensibility of that.
13:38:20 <elliott> Deewiant: Well, what would you rather I do? List a bunch of servers manually and keep that up to date?
13:38:27 <fizzie> I'm using chat.eu.freenode.net; it's a compromise.
13:38:38 <elliott> This server is in London anyway, that's basically the US.
13:39:00 <Deewiant> I think I'm also using chat.eu.freenode.net, possibly with one manually listed server before that.
13:39:17 <shachaf> elliott: did you know someone could get the nick ehird right now if they wanted to
13:39:19 <elliott> "Shame they don’t allow auto-identification using client-side SSL certificates, like OFTC does." "@bloogle Yeah, but the SASL auth is every bit as good, if not better if using DH-BLOWFISH"
13:39:21 <fizzie> Okay, I also have lindbohm manually before it, but it's all cyclic so it's not really "prioritized".
13:39:23 <elliott> Truly, future-predictors.
13:39:39 <fizzie> http://sprunge.us/NXbZ -- see which continent is more like future.
13:39:41 <elliott> shachaf: I don't expect anyone except maybe shachaf t otry that.
13:39:56 <shachaf> Why would I try that?
13:40:17 <elliott> Well, you just looked up the last time ehird was logged into, so you must have some interest in the name.
13:40:29 <shachaf> Not 'ardly!
13:40:33 <shachaf> elliott: By the way, is there an equivalent of Bazaar for a Setter?
13:40:41 <shachaf> Foo a b t = (a -> b) -> t
13:41:12 <shachaf> So that Setter s t a b = s -> Foo a b t, of course.
13:42:24 <fizzie> Hey, there's a rajaniemi.freenode.net that's in some "TKK Comnet/FUNET" block, in Finland.
13:42:26 <elliott> Sounds like you just wrote it?
13:42:28 <fizzie> That's news.
13:43:13 <elliott> fizzie: I bet you can't change just the server field of an irssi server. :(
13:43:19 <shachaf> elliott: Is there a name for it? Does it have interesting features?
13:43:33 <elliott> shachaf: It's a monad.
13:44:01 <fizzie> elliott: I bet so too, since it'd identify the server to change by the host:port pair.
13:44:32 <elliott> Oh.
13:44:35 <elliott> I set ssl_verify without ssl_cert.
13:44:38 <elliott> Does that do anything?
13:45:01 <shachaf> elliott: As in (r ->)?
13:45:32 <Deewiant> elliott: It sounds like it'll then try to verify the server's certificate against who-knows-what certificates. Ideally the ones in /usr/share.
13:46:59 <elliott> Deewiant: I set ssl_capath to /etc/ssl/certs.
13:47:00 <elliott> If that helps.
13:47:11 <elliott> So is that, like, the right thing?
13:47:55 <c00kiemon5ter> +
13:47:57 <Deewiant> It has the standard set of trusted certs, at least.
13:48:42 <elliott> /server add -6 -ssl -ssl_verify -ssl_capath /etc/ssl/certs -auto -network freenode chat.eu.freenode.net 6697

13:53:42 <elliott> What! But you're Finnish.
13:54:09 <Deewiant> I don't have IPv6 connectivity on any machine I own. I could set it up in my LAN but I haven't bothered.
13:54:17 <Deewiant> I don't think we have it at work either.
13:55:02 <shachaf> elliott: IPv6 is the devil.

14:02:53 <elliott> I... don't think that's Lithuania, Deewiant.

14:03:04 <Deewiant> elliott: You are not fizzie.
14:03:23 <fizzie> Deewiant: I put {rajaniemi, lindbohm, chat.eu} to the list, and apparently the cycling thing was at chat.eu at the time when I fixed the stupid bit.
14:03:32 <Deewiant> heh
14:04:52 <elliott> Deewiant: OK but I actually am fizzie.
14:05:14 <fizzie> Oh no, am I elliott then? I... I'm not sure I want to. It sounds difficult.
14:05:20 <shachaf> elliott is fizzie?
14:05:29 <fizzie> WAR is PEACE.
14:05:31 <shachaf> fizzie: I think elliott isn't telling the truth.
14:05:41 <elliott> fizzie: Is this client certificate stuff easy to set up?
14:05:42 <shachaf> Because Finland ≠ Hexham, right?
14:05:47 <elliott> Maybe I'll do it næxt.
14:05:57 <elliott> nc: invalid option -- '6'
14:06:00 <elliott> fizzie: A good start.
14:06:12 * elliott wonders which of 70 flavours of netcat this is.
14:06:40 <Deewiant> elliott: GNU, methinks.
14:06:55 <fizzie> elliott: It was reasonably easy for bip, I don't know about irssi. Probably it's just one setting, since Freenode doesn't actually verify the client certificate, it just uses the fingerprint from it.
14:07:15 <Deewiant> Ithinks because recently openbsd-netcat started conflicting with GNU netcat in Arch and I went with GNU and it says the same thing.
14:07:33 <elliott> Deewiant: Well, *I*thinks no GNU software would say "nc -h for help".
14:07:39 <fizzie> "telnet -6", then.
14:07:42 <elliott> And not even accept --help.
14:07:52 <Deewiant> elliott: Well, you didn't say that bit.
14:08:19 <elliott> Deewiant: Re the client setting: I was thinking more of the making a certificate part.
14:08:21 <fizzie> (The one I tried with was the netcat-openbsd of Ubuntu something-at-work, and it has a -6.)

14:09:26 <elliott> What a concept.
14:09:32 <Deewiant> Inconceivable!
14:09:39 <elliott> So um this thing works fine, I am tempted to: blame the whole SSL thing?
14:10:10 <Deewiant> Turn off SSL and see if it works in irssi?
14:11:53 <fizzie> I got a v6'd SSL connection just fine, though. But maybe it's worth a try.
14:11:56 <elliott> Deewiant: But...
14:12:02 <elliott> Deewiant: What if people spied on me?
14:12:13 <Deewiant> If you're only here, you're publically logged anyway.
14:12:31 <elliott> HTH.
14:12:37 <Deewiant> Wow, "publically".
14:12:50 <fizzie> You could also try /connect -6 or something. Though the -6 setting *should* end up in there for listed servers too, I think.

17:03:23 <fizzie> 510 is not the most reliable bus line ever.
17:04:31 <Deewiant> By "missing one" I mean that one didn't come at all, or then it was at least 3 minutes early which I think is exceedingly unlikely in this weather.
17:04:55 <Deewiant> So there was a bit of unreliability all around.

19:08:36 <FreeFull> shachaf: What function is hash?
19:08:51 <FreeFull> Maybe hash itself is SHA512
19:09:02 <FreeFull> And it just happens to get ran 512 times too
19:10:05 <kmc> shachaf: what code is that from?
19:10:55 <shachaf> snap-auth
19:11:16 <shachaf> The hash is SHA512, yes.
19:12:10 <kmc> they should probably use PBKDF2 instead
19:12:18 <kmc> i don't know how much it matters though
19:14:36 <shachaf> They should probably be using a number bigger than 512.
19:18:03 -!- zzo38 has joined.
19:18:57 <fizzie> But you can't use anything else than 512 iterations with SHA-512. It would be unseemly.
19:19:41 <kmc> shachaf: that too
19:20:40 <kmc> Django 1.4 defaults to 10,000 iterations of SHA256
19:21:02 <shachaf> Iterations?
19:21:12 <shachaf> They also don't use PBKDF2 or anything like that?
19:21:31 <kmc> no i mean PBKDF2 with 10,000 iterations
19:21:44 <shachaf> Ah.
19:22:17 <shachaf> 10,000 also seems low.
19:22:33 <shachaf> Er, actually, I have no idea how fast or slow PBKDF2 iterations are.
19:24:51 <kmc> yeah it is kind of low
19:26:36 <kmc> django's implementation takes 75 ms on my AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1075T Processor
19:26:48 <kmc> is claimed to be "four times slower than openssl's implementation"
19:29:19 <kmc> i wonder if it's increased in the soon to be released Django 1.5

19:31:49 <kmc> http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/4781/do-any-security-experts-recommend-bcrypt-for-password-storage
19:33:08 <kmc> obviously i should do 100,000 iterations of SHA512 and then bcrypt that
19:33:11 <kmc> that's defense in depth right
19:33:26 <Bike> the maginot line of encryption
19:33:37 <kmc> yeah
