00:00:00 <elliott> well... yeah but... never mind
00:01:08 <doesthiswork> elliot: that is the first line on a new page at codu.org
00:06:34 <mnoqy> wow what a coincidence; that's the first thing you've said since joining
00:06:49 <Bike> doesthiswork is the bringer of the new day.

00:30:16 <Bike> in C, can you have declarations after statements?
00:32:22 <Jafet> `run echo $'main() { int x; x = 3; int y; return x + y; }\n' > a.c && gcc a.c
00:32:27 <kmc> in C99, not in C89 or Ye Olde C
00:32:30 <HackEgo> No output.
00:33:08 <Bike> hmm.
00:33:23 <Bike> thinking about kernel's "add to environments whenever" thing and how much i hate it
00:33:27 <kmc> (some compilers may allow it without explicitly enabling C99, just as they allow //-comments)
00:33:36 <kmc> Bike: fun fact: you can't put a goto label on a declaration
00:33:51 <Bike> i mean, dealing with "int x; x = 3; eval("int y = 4"); return x + y;" would just... ugh
00:34:01 <kmc> `run echo $'main() { foo: int x = 3; goto foo; }\n' > a.c && gcc a.c
00:34:02 <mnoqy> don't you also get into trouble if you skip over declarations or anything of the such

01:04:16 <Bike> i was quoting you, even.
01:04:44 <zzo38> It won't display the details like "AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6128", however.

01:12:18 -!- copumpkin has joined.
01:15:53 <shachaf> Normally, the problem with a web service is that it is written in standard HTML and PHP, so hackers can exploit vulnerabilities in the code. But our service is written completely in javascript, developed to provide the highest level of security available on the web.
01:16:20 <Bike> That's kind of long as names go, don't you think
01:16:25 <Gregor> That's buzzwordalicious.
01:16:50 <zzo38> If it is client-side JavaScript, then it isn't a proper service, isn't it? (If it is server-side JavaScript, then there can still be vulnerabilities although they are different ones. Also, HTML is client-side too.)

01:31:08 <shachaf> oh no
01:31:08 <comex> or update
01:31:10 <copumpkin> so it has now been replaced and my IRC settings took a while
01:31:14 <Bike> oerjan: wow obvious thanks
01:31:19 <copumpkin> well yes, now it's a nicer computer
01:31:31 <copumpkin> I freaked out thinking I had lost my gpg seckey
01:31:37 <copumpkin> but then I found it on an ancient hard drive
01:32:31 <shachaf> That's why I keep a copy of all my secret keys under the rug.
01:32:55 <copumpkin> good plan
01:33:08 <pikhq> zzo38: That's because you did 0x0, which is the code to get the CPU vendor out from cpuid.
01:33:21 <oerjan> zzo38: i am pretty sure shachaf quoted that because it was hilariously wrong (and stupid).
01:33:37 <pikhq> 0x80000002-5 are the CPU model name.

01:57:33 <Bike> "One huge sombre poster depicted the Damned in Hell suffering a new torment from their inability to get at the Filboid Studge which elegant young fiends held in transparent bowls just beyond their reach." amazing.
01:57:38 <elliott> it's somehow appropriate that kmc's myndzi dudes are misaligned

01:59:04 <shachaf> maybe ais523 is sensible but he's not in this channel anymore
01:59:09 <kmc> go back to #sensible
01:59:17 <Bike> the irc protocol should be fixed to specify character widths
01:59:39 <zzo38> On my computer the "|" is just beneath the "l" in "blind" but you shouldn't expect anyone's computer to do anything specific such as that or not that
01:59:51 <zzo38> Bike: I don't think so. I think that isn't necessary
01:59:52 <Jafet> The irc protocol should forbid people from complaining about irc
02:00:18 <kmc> just like the iOS app store!

02:27:58 * quintopia hugz shachaf
02:28:01 <mnoqy> but how would you know when's the right time to say "yes"!
02:28:04 <Gracenotes> yeah, in this case I typed a password, wondering how clearly it was sent, assuming a malicious server or something
02:28:05 <elliott> kmc: in particular, (relatively) low RAM, bad graphics (incl. resolution), seemingly very little storage?
02:28:23 <mnoqy> how much ram
02:28:29 <comex> elliott: there's only one laptop with as good resolution as the MBP retina ;)
02:28:34 <elliott> kmc: which like, it's an ultrabook so this is not terribly surprising
02:28:35 <comex> one other laptop, i mean
02:28:51 <elliott> comex: 1080p would be "enough"
02:29:02 <elliott> maybe 1680x1050 would be enough

02:31:45 <elliott> http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/x-series/x1-carbon/index.html doesn't list that
02:31:51 <elliott> 256 would "probably" be enough
02:32:07 <elliott> I looked at the T series thinkpads and they're really disappointing
02:32:24 <shachaf> mnoqy: wow i didn't know elliott was hardcore
02:32:31 <elliott> maybe things will be better when haswell comes out

02:35:18 <shachaf> Fiora: what did you get
02:35:21 <elliott> I think I have resigned myself to spending too much money already
02:36:58 <Fiora> a sager np9150?
02:37:33 <Bike> ok good news i have a story
02:37:48 <Bike> when i was just a wee bike under construction my parents were thinking about what to name me
02:38:05 <Bike> my mom wanted to go with "elliott" but my dad didn't like it
02:38:14 <elliott> are you serious
02:38:16 <mnoqy> that's a good story
02:38:24 <Bike> so he got her to get her boss to say "elllliottttt" like the alien in ET every time my mom walked by
02:38:33 <Bike> er, got her boss to*
02:38:39 <mnoqy> that's also a good story
02:38:46 <Bike> and so, i was not named "elliott".
02:38:57 <elliott> instead you were named "Bike"
02:39:14 <Gracenotes> more stories
02:39:18 <Bike> this is just a nom de guerre. my real name is Ike
02:39:21 <mnoqy> but if not elliott, what woulkd you be named?? are there any other names
02:39:39 <Bike> see previous message
02:39:42 <elliott> Bike "Ike" Bicycle
02:39:51 <elliott> or is it Ike "Bike" Bicycle
02:39:54 <Gracenotes> bike stories are a non-scarce resource
02:40:46 <Bike> it's Ike "Bike" Sumayang actually
02:43:36 <mnoqy> close enough
02:43:37 -!- mnoqy has quit (Quit: hello).
02:43:43 <Bike> bye mnoqy
02:43:57 <Fiora> elliott: geez, it looks like you can get a haswell i7, 765M, 15" 1080p screen, 240GB SSD, and like, 16GB RAM for ~$1300 now though right it's the UK so things probably get 10x worse
02:44:53 <elliott> oh that sounds pretty great (depending on weight and stuff), what model is that?
02:45:21 <Fiora> Sager NP7352 apparently?
02:45:40 <Fiora> (cheaper without the SSD and stuff, I'm just super biased because I have one -_-)
02:45:53 <Fiora> it's 6 pounds, even lighter than mine @_@
02:45:54 <shachaf> elliott also apparently wants it to weigh no more than 1.3kg or something
02:46:29 <Fiora> after spending days looking at laptops that were mostly 4-5kg I felt like I had discovered the garden of eden when I found one that was only about 3
02:46:36 <Bike> elliott is super biased because he weighs no more than 1.3 kg
02:46:45 <elliott> shachaf: I never said that :P
02:46:59 <elliott> Fiora: yeah I have an SSD now and don't plan to buy a computer without one if I can help it
02:47:10 <Fiora> Bike: elliott's like, my size :p
02:47:20 <shachaf> elliott: Well, you said it to me once.
02:47:32 <shachaf> anyway is the clevo w740su really so bad
02:47:39 <shachaf> imo find out so that you can tell me
02:47:43 <Bike> are ssds nice
02:47:51 <elliott> I'm actually a black hole and would prefer a laptop about the size of Jupiter
02:47:58 <elliott> so I can eat it
02:48:10 <Bike> size or mass
02:48:16 <elliott> Bike: yes but you have to get used to there not being any ticky noises when you install stuff
02:50:02 <elliott> Fiora: it seems like sager only sell in USD? so I guess it's just a question of how much shipping would cost
02:50:09 <Fiora> ummm let me see if there's any UK resellers
02:50:16 <elliott> or if they'd ship at all I guess
02:50:27 <Fiora> http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/91510-clevo-guide-v2-0-faq-reseller-info.html
02:50:37 <Fiora> there's UK resellers
02:50:41 <elliott> oh it's also a clevo thingy?
02:50:48 <Fiora> sager is clevo basically <.<
02:50:53 <Fiora> they're two different brands for the same thing
02:50:53 <elliott> the system76 one shachaf linked me was clevo too
02:51:08 <shachaf> they're all clevo
02:51:13 <elliott> isn't it more like, clevo sell laptops to people who then brand them?
02:51:23 <Fiora> sager is clevo's gamer/performance brand, I think?
02:51:36 <shachaf> Sager laptops are manufactured by Clevo which are also sold under many other brand names. Sager is the biggest Clevo retailer.
02:51:46 <shachaf> ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sager_Notebook_Computers )
02:52:03 <elliott> I wonder if you can buy things directly from Clevo and save money???? probably you have to buy in bulk or something
02:52:52 <elliott> "5.) Uniqueness ("It Ain't a Dell"): Subjective to personal preference. But having a custom high-end notebook that the masses cannot identify is pretty 1337." this post is adorable

02:55:21 <shachaf> elliott: yes
02:55:36 <shachaf> Maybe it works better for some people and/or with some cards, though.

03:23:17 <zzo38> Is v a macro?
03:23:42 <zzo38> I don't know what v and radix even are here, or what compiler you are using, or what computer it is.
03:24:11 <kmc> i've never heard that
03:26:15 <Bike> kmc: yeah that's why i said "more globally" but a friend told me, and urbandictionary backed him up, so i assume /womebody/ uses it
03:26:25 <elliott> kmc: does LVM work well with GPT and stuff
03:26:29 <elliott> I don't really know anything about this
03:26:40 <elliott> but you installed Debian with full-disk encryption on a new computer recently right
03:26:57 <Bike> i cannot believe how girly 0xabad1dea's profile is
03:35:26 <Bike> if Cons is a 2-ary type constructor (* -> * -> * i guess), could ConsList (like []) be defined as fix (\self t -> Cons t self)
03:37:18 <elliott> how is Cons defined?
03:37:38 <Bike> data Cons a b = Cons a b or whatever
03:37:41 <elliott> ok so (,)
03:37:48 <Bike> yeah sure.
03:37:48 <shachaf> Bike: There's no place for Nil there.
03:37:55 <elliott> [a] = mu (\self -> Maybe (a, self))
03:38:07 <elliott> and mu is basically fix.
03:38:12 <shachaf> So you'd get a stream, not a list (and you'd want a greatest fixed point, but, like, whatever).
03:38:12 <elliott> (it's least vs. upper bound stuff)
03:38:15 <elliott> er, least vs. greater
03:38:16 -!- Guest18414 has joined.
03:38:20 <Bike> right ok elliott fixed it.
03:38:25 <shachaf> s/..$/, man)./
03:38:44 <shachaf> Hmm. I need to come up with a better way of phrasing that.
03:38:55 <elliott> Bike: basically you define a list of A as the least fixed point of F(L) = 1 + A * L
03:39:03 <elliott> + translates to Either, 1 translates to (), * translates to (,)
03:39:14 <elliott> so Either () (a, l) which is Maybe (a, l)
03:39:20 <elliott> and then you can work backwards to what I said
03:39:23 <Bike> so like is this doable in haskell (or some type theory that is simple i gues)
03:39:28 <elliott> you can write:
03:39:35 <elliott> newtype Fix f = Fix { break :: f (Fix f) }
03:39:38 <Bike> i mean y'all talk about mu but i'm pretty sure it's crazy bullshit?
03:39:43 <elliott> type List a = Fix (ListF a)
03:39:48 <shachaf> You can make Fix like elliott wrote.
03:39:55 <elliott> newtype ListF a l = ListF { listless :: Maybe (a, l) }
03:39:58 <shachaf> You can also make Mu and Nu but in practice there isn't much point in Haskell.
03:40:07 <shachaf> (Mu and Nu correspond to folds and unfolds.)
03:40:14 <elliott> you can also make a bunch of functor combinator things so you could say
03:40:27 <elliott> type List a = Fix (One :+: (An a :*: Arg))
03:40:32 <elliott> if you don't like having to define ListF
03:41:09 <Bike> what's An
03:41:18 <elliott> type One = An (); newtype An r a = An r {- this is Const -}; newtype (f :+: g) a = L (f a) | R (g a)
03:41:26 <elliott> newtype (f :*: g) a = f a :*: g a
03:41:43 <shachaf> good newtype
03:41:45 <elliott> nil = Fix (L (An ())
03:42:02 <elliott> cons x xs = Fix (R (An x :*: xs))
03:42:16 <elliott> this kind of thing is where the "algebraic" in "algebraic data types" comes from

03:44:08 <elliott> Bike: did you miss the stuff I said
03:44:09 <Sgeo> I don't understand thisContext
03:44:12 <Bike> and i had a vague idea of algebra but wasn't sure how it worked with fixpoints
03:44:13 <elliott> I mean, the stuff unrelated to Const
03:44:25 <Bike> elliott: whenever i discon i check the log becaue otherwise it would be kind of unfair to people talking to me
03:44:29 <elliott> newtype Const r a = Const r
03:44:35 <elliott> do you not see how it's a Functor? just trying to see what the problem is
03:44:41 <elliott> fmap :: (a -> b) -> Const r a -> Const r b
03:44:49 <elliott> (Const r x) is equivalent to r for any x, so this is just
03:44:52 <Bike> i think i just
03:44:53 <elliott> fmap :: (a -> b) -> r -> r
03:44:56 <elliott> with a constructor in the way
03:45:00 <Bike> don't even understand the syntax :V
03:45:16 <elliott> uh is it newtype you don't know about, or
03:45:18 <shachaf> #esoteric-overflow
03:45:19 <elliott> trying to help!!
03:45:23 <Bike> i think it's newtype yes
03:45:26 <kmc> #esoteric-in-depth
03:45:29 <elliott> okay pretend it says data instead of newtype
03:45:33 <Bike> i remember it being a type alias or something but i have no idea what that means
03:45:35 <elliott> it's exactly the same for our purposes
03:46:03 <elliott> (it's more efficient at runtime for a type that just wraps another one (i.e. one constructor, one field) and has some dumb edge-cases with undefined/nontermination that you should try not to think about)
03:46:20 * comex wonders why that isn't just done automatically
03:46:28 <elliott> comex: aforementioned edge-cases
03:46:35 <elliott> sometimes you want the indirection
03:46:44 <Bike> so when you have that fmap, it's actually like (a -> b) -> Const r -> Const r but Const r is equivalent to r because well obviously.
03:46:47 <elliott> even (data Foo = Foo !Bar) isn't equivalent to (newtype Foo = Foo Bar)
03:46:57 <shachaf> imo just use a strict language
03:46:58 <elliott> because matching on the latter's Foo is irrefutable, but not the former's
03:47:06 <elliott> Bike: Const r a -> Const r b
03:47:09 <elliott> it takes two type paramters
03:47:12 <Bike> yes but like
03:47:14 <elliott> (Const r) is the functor, just like [] is a functor
03:47:22 <shachaf> poor Bike
03:47:28 <Bike> nevermind i get it
03:47:39 <elliott> Bike: sorry, I didn't know whether you were being imprecise or it was part of the confusion
03:47:45 <Bike> i was being imprecise
03:47:50 <elliott> since the parameter is irrelevant but also, like, the point
03:47:58 <Bike> it's the "= Const r" that gets me, "= r" would be more intuitive to me
03:48:05 <Bike> but that doesn't work with data of course
03:48:17 <shachaf> The Const on the right is a constructor, not a type.
03:48:19 <Bike> riht.
03:48:22 <Bike> right
03:48:23 <shachaf> I think this is confusing and so does SPJ.
03:48:27 <Bike> anyway let me try to define the fmap.
03:48:28 <elliott> data Const r a = TheThing { value :: r }
03:49:06 <Bike> is it just fmap _ (Const rv) = rv
03:49:12 <Bike> er no
03:49:22 <Bike> fmap _ (Const rv) = Const rv

03:56:21 -!- Bike_ has changed nick to Bike.
03:56:27 <Bike> it's possible, slightly possible
03:56:33 <elliott> Bike_: basically the reason we want Const is because the functor argument to our list functor is actually the list
03:56:36 <elliott> type.
03:56:37 <elliott> because fixpoint
03:56:51 <elliott> so we want to ignore it for the actual value in the list and for the nil case.

04:03:30 <Bike_> are there any recursive types that can't be rewritten into Mufuckery?
04:03:32 -!- Bike_ has changed nick to Bike.
04:03:55 <Bike> pretty sure the answer is no but i gotta ask all the dumb quetions
04:04:24 <shachaf> Bike: Well, that depends on what you mean by Mu.
04:04:49 <shachaf> Usually you talk about the fixed point of a (covariant) functor, but Haskell lets you have negative recursion.
04:04:59 <Bike> and i'm lost.
04:05:13 <shachaf> Something like data Rec a = Rec (Rec a -> a)
04:05:20 <shachaf> Recursion with something on the left side of a ->
04:06:34 <shachaf> That lets you do all sorts of evil things, and it's usually forbidden in total languages.
04:07:51 <shachaf> In Haskell it still works out to be the same thing with Fix, I think, but you can't use any function that relies on a Functor constraint.
04:12:33 <Bike> i didn't understand any of that and i don't think i'm going to any time soon
04:13:17 <shachaf> Sorry. I should have put it differently.
04:13:28 <kmc> I keep forgetting that you can install xmonad and xdm and firefox and still not install the X server
04:13:47 <shachaf> Do you know what negative/positive positions, or covariant/contravariant functors, are?
04:13:55 <Bike> no
04:18:28 <shachaf> Well, covariant (i.e. normal) functors are things that give you fmap :: (a -> b) -> f a -> f b
04:18:38 <shachaf> Contravariant functors give you contramap :: (a -> b) -> f b -> f a
04:19:47 <Bike> example?
04:20:06 <shachaf> newtype Op r a = Op (a -> r)
04:21:42 <shachaf> (And e.g. Predicate a = a -> Bool and so on.)
04:22:38 <elliott> I wonder whether unstable is better than testing these days
04:22:49 <elliott> also what happened to the whole rolling-release Debian plan
04:25:18 <Bike> so contramap foo pred = \a -> pred (foo a) and wow i've been told this before haven't i.
04:26:32 <shachaf> Note that Op r (Op r a) is covariant again.
04:32:03 <Bike> Is "arrays of length 4" a dependent type? (or rather the constructor N -> a type like that)

07:12:37 <shachaf> To the first part, anyway. I'm not sure what the rest means?
07:12:52 <Bike> me neither
07:13:24 <Bike> something about how fix existing means all types have something in them which means everything is true in curry-howard and a type theorist comes around to my house and smashes up my windows

07:14:51 <Bike> i'm not what i have in mind either

08:58:45 <fizzie> I think the NDK is sufficiently good and supported that people haven't really spent time on turning C to Dalvik bytecode; the few "Dalvik backend for LLVM" projects I can see seem quite dead.

10:21:23 <zzo38> fizzie: Maybe then it helps, if someone wants to play a Z-machine game on Android using the Aimfiz interpreter engine instead of some other one. With a keyboard you might even work it without a lot of changes, but if you don't have a keyboard then you will need to put an on-screen keyboard, and the "mouse menus" (of Z-code v5) might be helpful too.
10:22:26 -!- MindlessDrone has quit (Quit: MindlessDrone).
10:23:10 <zzo38> But I have absolutely no idea how the Z-machine version 5 mouse menus are supposed to work; the only things I know is this: There are four menus called the directions menu, inventory menu, frequent verbs menu, and frequent words menu. The extension table contains pointers to tables corresponding to these menus, and there is a bitfield to indicate of the menu has been changed.
10:23:33 <zzo38> The format of these tables is unknown.

10:34:22 <plugnburn> hi there
10:34:30 <plugnburn> is deciode here?
10:34:49 <zzo38> Hello. I don't know "deciode", sorry
10:34:57 <zzo38> What is it you wanted?
10:36:05 <plugnburn> Sorry for da panic... he made a port of MSM implementation to Ruby, then suggested a new operator, then _suddenly_ disappeared when I implemented what he asked for :)
10:36:11 <plugnburn> and didn't update his port
10:36:59 <zzo38> I don't know what to do about that, but you could mention that on the esolang wiki too
10:37:03 <plugnburn> http://esolangs.org/wiki/MSM
10:37:14 <plugnburn> see Discussion page
10:37:38 <plugnburn> and I did mention it in See Also, that his port is incomplete
10:37:41 <zzo38> I already have that open.
10:38:53 <zzo38> Could you post your implementation on there?
10:39:06 <plugnburn> I did
10:39:27 <plugnburn> http://esolangs.org/wiki/MSM#Implementations - both are mine
10:39:46 <plugnburn> https://gist.github.com/plugnburn/6150089- this is the reference one
10:39:55 <plugnburn> https://gist.github.com/plugnburn/6150089
10:40:13 <zzo38> OK
10:43:14 <zzo38> I write down things about dreams I have had and what others have told me. Someone once told me his dream where the doctor asked him if he had ever been to the moon, he answered no, and then the doctor asked him to prove it; the doctor couldn't help him if he could not prove that he has never been to the moon.
10:44:53 <plugnburn> nice :) someone told me Underload is Turing-complete but I can't yet prove MSM is Turing complete by translating its code to Underload. Is there a doctor that can help me? :)
10:45:41 <zzo38> If they are a doctor of esoteric programming, then maybe.

16:14:11 <zzo38> Do you sometimes have dream where you are a different person and/or a different species?
16:14:29 <Bike> yeah
16:16:11 <boily> my dreams are boring. there's no sound, no people, no movement, and I tend to do nothing in still places.
16:17:45 <Roujo> That sounds kinda boring, yeah
16:20:05 <zzo38> If the Android version of SDL include a on-screen keyboard for keyboardless devices, well, still might it be useful to customize it? Does it include to customize the on-screen keyboard? (For example, to include the Z-machine keys, and other things, like in Aimfiz you use CTRL+T to select the transcript slot and CTRL+L for scrollback, etc, and it can also change depending on context)
16:20:38 <Bike> i don't actually type letters on my android phone, i use the swipey thing
16:21:00 <Bike> which i think would work fine for an adventure game...
16:21:22 <Roujo> Swipe, swipe, swipe the monsters
16:21:31 <Roujo> Swiftly out of the screeeeeeeen
16:22:31 <zzo38> Still, you might need functions keys, and sometimes it is single-key input and sometimes full-line input, sometimes timed, and there are some control functions in Aimfiz too...
16:23:53 <Bike> you could have virtual buttons, like all the game machine emulators
16:24:43 <zzo38> Probably customizing the on-screen keyboard to have those functions would help it; if you have a physical keyboard with all the necessary keys then you don't need those
16:24:59 <Bike> why's it have to be part of the keyboard?
16:25:46 <zzo38> I suppose, so that you can hide it together with the rest of the keyboard, and so that if you have a physical keyboard then you can use that instead.
16:27:01 <zzo38> At least, that is what I would think it would be.
16:27:08 <zzo38> Do you think it would be otherwise?
16:27:16 <nooodl> i'd go crazy trying to play interactive fiction games on my phone
16:28:37 <zzo38> I might, too (I don't have a cell phone; I make computer stuff on computer instead), but some people would like to be able to play this game on a Android phone/tablet.
16:29:30 <zzo38> I think there are already some Z-machine interpreters for such device but they are buggy software and you might want to port the Aimfiz interpreter engine which seems to be more accurate.

16:42:41 <Deewiant> fizzie: Why
16:43:11 <fizzie> Deewiant: I don't know, but I'm sure it's some sort of versioning mishap combined with "can't make version numbers smaller" thing.
16:43:35 <Deewiant> apt doesn't have anything like an epoch?
16:44:52 <shachaf> We only give the most basic definitions of categories, functors, and natural transformations. For a gentler introduction, with more details and examples, see e.g. Mac Lane [29].
16:45:57 <fizzie> Deewiant: It does; that'd be something like 1:9.1+146, which, admittedly, would look nicer.
16:46:04 <fizzie> (If there's no colon, the epoch is zero.)

16:47:31 -!- Lumpio- has joined.
16:47:45 <Deewiant> They just want their mistake to be forgotten instead of being forever encoded as the epoch.
16:49:01 <zzo38> Could they put a feature of temporary epoch?
16:49:04 <Gregor> fizzie: Yeah, they'd avoid an epoch if it was just to work around a temporary bug.
16:49:25 <Gregor> zzo38: The epochs are just a string property of version numbers, there's no meaning to "temporaryness" of them.

17:11:52 <zzo38> Gregor: I meant if they would add such a feature to the package manager, so that there is also another kind of temporary epoch as well.
17:19:02 <Gregor> But what does "temporary" mean? You don't want for it to be temporary in time, because a version which is numerically lower should FOREVER be newer than a version which is numerically higher, but also older than a different version which is numerically higher.
17:20:48 <fizzie> "Unable to start X session --- no '~/.xsession' file, no '~/.Xsession' file, no session managers, no window managers, and no terminal emulators found; aborting." Such a desperate-sounding error.
17:21:03 <zzo38> Well, you would have to specify what version it overrides; sometimes a version overrides another one, such as if a new version is made up but you need an old version to override it, or for another reason; an explicit "override" section might do.
17:24:49 <Gregor> But then you need all relevant versions (the global ordering) to create a local ordering, or you need for the version to specify EVERY version it overrides, which could include versions by third parties or not in the repo. e.g. 9.3+142really9.1+146 presumably also overrides 9.2+whatever, but it didn't need to specify that because 9.3+142 is numerically greater than 9.2+whatever.

20:26:33 <Bike> Is there a fixed point of scheme eval that isn't a constant or self-referencing?
20:27:42 <fizzie> Is there a way to make PulseAudio do this thing I want it to do?
20:27:53 <Bike> what is this thing?
20:29:50 <kmc> "die in a fire"
20:30:07 <Bike> i guess bottom, if you count that
20:30:17 <fizzie> I have an USB soundcard where the volume control's dB levels (as seen by the ALSA driver) bear no resemblance to reality; in particular, it's completely muted up to a point, and then uncomfortably loud after that. It used to be so that I could just keep the card's mixer control fixed to that just-about-audible-and-loud, and compensate by lowering the per-app volumes (dynamic range is for ...
20:30:21 <shachaf> Bike: it's ""different"" in a strict language
20:30:24 <fizzie> ... wimps), but apparently modern Pulse merges the volume controls with a super-clever mechanism, where it takes the required adjustment and applies it... well, just read http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/PulseAudioStoleMyVolumes/
20:30:27 <Bike> shachaf: yeah i know
20:30:42 <shachaf> i know you know
20:30:50 <Bike> woa
20:31:13 <fizzie> It says that I can disable the cleverness by a "control=" parameter to module-alsa-sink, but I haven't figured out any sensible way to apply that, esp. automagically to a single device that comes and goes.
20:31:43 <fizzie> (And anyway I don't know if it would accept a "none" setting that'd make it not touch the wonky hardware volume control but just approximate with software.)
20:31:55 <kmc> pulse audio ate my balls
20:32:11 <fizzie> Maybe I should just go with JACK, but that's so "pro".
20:33:01 <fizzie> Also I don't have a real sound card. And all the JACK stuff is so Qt.
20:33:34 <fizzie> (Apparently the "standard" way to do persistent per-application setups in JACK is with QjackCtl Patchbay.)
20:33:35 <Bike> have you considered replacing your sound software with piping everything to /dev/snd
20:33:45 <fizzie> Not really.
20:33:47 <Bike> patchbay is pretty nice, actually.

21:06:24 <comex> 62, really?
21:06:31 <Bike> the perfect number, imo.
21:06:46 <elliott> I don't know why it's 62
21:07:52 <ion> It’s a nice number in base-63.
21:07:53 <oerjan> the tuple types are defined explicitly in a module, istr a comment that something broke if they tried to expand it one step more.
21:09:03 <shachaf> long long long is too long for gcc
21:11:09 <olsner> sounds weird that a tuple breaks at that size but a data type of the same size is supposed to be ok (according to the error message's workaround)
