02:48:39 <zzo38> Do you find procedural SQL useful? I find a lot of things can be done in plain SQL, although a virtual table containing all numbers, and a few extra functions (square root, quartiles, blob access, execute a string containing SQL commands, etc), are good things to have on.
02:51:08 <zzo38> There are still a few additional features I would like to see in SQL, although I don't know if any of them are available in any variant of SQL.

04:33:20 <coppro> /r/lolphp is pretty sweet
04:33:30 <coppro> although that particular quote really scares me
04:33:36 <coppro> zzo38: procedural SQL is okay
04:33:50 <coppro> having written a lot in it, I'd avoid it where possible
04:33:52 <coppro> it's really awkward
04:35:59 -!- ^v has quit (Quit: Leaving).
04:43:12 <zzo38> coppro: OK, I suppose; well, I also avoid procedural SQL, since I use SQLite which doesn't support procedural SQL, and I find procedural SQL doesn't help anything anyways since it can be programmed in plain SQL.
04:45:13 <coppro> the advantage to procedural SQL is the ability to create functions inside the database which are used by multiple clients in different languages, and so reduce duplication
04:45:27 <coppro> in practice, this is a good idea only where you can't do something saner, like write an interface layer in some other language
04:48:16 <zzo38> I do not understand exactly what you mean. I tend to write most of the program in SQL, when using SQL.
04:48:55 <zzo38> I will write any extra functions I need into a .dll so that it can be loaded using anything.
04:49:23 <zzo38> But these extra functions are mainly stuff useful in a lot of uses anyways, such as square root, and a virtual table containing all integers.
04:51:19 <zzo38> There are some features I would like to see added, though, such as macros, overridable views and triggers, trigger indices, ordered triggers, table cells that contain databases, and a few others.
04:58:51 <zzo38> I found that triggers seem to run in the reverse order of being defined. I find this a very useful feature. However, I asked someone and they said the order isn't supposed to be guaranteed.

07:18:21 <shachaf> say i know a connection won't be re-established for hours but out of habit i press alt-a a bunch of time in irssi
07:18:47 <shachaf> now i either risk missing a notification or i have to close the mosh session before reconnecting to the network

07:22:28 <zzo38> I think some of the terminology in chess problems can be applied to Pokemon card puzzles as well.
07:22:54 <ion> shachaf: How about ignoring input when in the state that notifies about the lack of connectivity? I’d be happy with that.
07:23:18 <shachaf> That's not so great because sometimes my connection is just bad.
07:23:42 <shachaf> And I get into that state, but I want to keep typing.
07:24:01 <ion> In that case, perhaps also have a parameter that lets you increase the timeout before it thinks there’s no connectivity.
07:25:32 <ion> The comments are great. http://php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php
07:27:42 <zzo38> See if you can make up a Pokemon card puzzle involving retreating four times in one turn, or even five, or six, if such a thing can be made.

07:55:57 <zzo38> We can make up some list of terminology for Pokemon card puzzles, some of which is similar to that of chess, but there are differences so some new terminology would be used too (also, not all chess terminology is applicable).

09:19:04 <fizzie> Aw, I missed a somewhat interesting talk this morning.
09:19:27 <kmc> what about?
09:19:43 <fizzie> "This keynote talk focuses on signal processing techniques for modeling analog audio systems used in music technology. Many analog music systems produce a distinctive and desirable sound, but the original devices may be expensive or hard to access and maintain. Examples include classic synthesizer modules and vintage guitar amplifiers."
09:20:59 <fizzie> "An overview of recent research in the area of virtual analog modeling will be presented. Topics include antialiasing oscillator algorithms, virtual analog synthesizer filters, modeling of guitar pickups, spring reverberation units, ring modulators, carbon microphones, and audio antiquing."
09:21:04 <fizzie> I'm no music person, but for some reason listening to other people talk about this stuff has generally been interesting.
09:22:20 <fizzie> (It's going to be a keynote at DAFx-13; the person giving it works here and apparently had a rehearsal this morning, but keeping up-to-date on email is for squares.)

17:32:17 <Bike> doesthiswork: does a sentence
17:32:27 <doesthiswork> yes
17:32:41 <boily> does a sentence contains a sentence, or is it the sentence itself?
17:33:01 <zzo38> boily: No, I don't think a skewer is what I am talking about.
17:33:24 <Bike> oh
17:33:27 <boily> zzo38: I' currently on wikipédia's chess tactics, and indeed it is not a skewer.
17:34:42 <doesthiswork> boily: it can by quotation
17:35:33 <boily> zzo38: probably something related to interference, I guess.
17:36:29 <boily> I believe that kind of situation is more common in xiangqi, viz. the horses have special movement rules, so you can position your pieces in temporarily safe squares because the opponent's can't move there.
17:37:24 <boily> doesthiswork: but then, it is a quine of itself that contains the content of the quine in the quine, and not the sentence as a whole which only partially refers to the sentence in a quine.
17:37:28 <boily> I need coffee.

17:40:19 <doesthiswork> boily: I didn't say yes to the second question
17:41:38 <doesthiswork> the sentence "the sentence "this sentence contains six words" contains five words" is a sentence
17:41:51 <Bike> is it
17:41:57 <doesthiswork> but "this sentence contains six words" is also a sentence
17:42:02 <Bike> or is it.... quotation nesting errors

17:44:15 <boily> zzo38: if it has a name, I can't pronounce it :(
17:44:23 <zzo38> If you put "doesn't" it is still wrong
17:45:18 <boily> so we have a sentence A where A v ¬A is False.
17:46:05 <Bike> yeah, a classic (lol) resolution to "this sentence is false" is to assign a truth value of "neither true nor false"
17:46:25 <Bike> you can do like... "this sentence is not true" or something to break that though. too tired to remember exactly
17:46:47 <zzo38> I mean "this sentence doesn't contains six words"
17:47:09 <doesthiswork> or more reasonably adding "doesn't" doesn't perfectly correspond to negation
17:47:40 <zzo38> Yes, it doesn't perfectly correspond to negation.
17:48:26 <doesthiswork> but I'm pretty sure I can trick people into saying that it does, and then spring this sentence on them.

20:57:25 <oerjan> i was guessing it was a pun, which is why i googled and found monarch steak house but i don't know if that's really a widespread concept.

21:01:27 <oerjan> boily: missed the s
21:01:58 <olsner> actually, I get the same mojibake as in the PDF, good job there
21:04:58 <oerjan> boily: the pho entry misses the bold

21:06:36 <HackEgo> Pouti is boily's brother. he's also Canadian, and he closes the Roujo pointer loop.
21:06:45 <boily> oerjan: I had the bold, but changin the font to mathpazo screwed it.
21:07:17 <boily> oerjan: the mojibake entry was hand-tweaked. the broken pipe, ¬ and ¯ caused some problems.
21:07:18 <oerjan> `learn Poutine was Pouti and boily's sister until the tragic cheese accident.
21:07:21 <HackEgo> I knew that.
21:07:28 <boily> we have a sister???
21:08:03 <fizzie> "Had."
21:08:54 <olsner> boily: do you have something called pgf available in your tex environment? apparently it has a random number generator

21:15:18 <oerjan> Bike: that's not a language
21:15:27 <olsner> fizzie: yes! that's even better than doing it at TeX time
21:15:37 <olsner> but it probably doesn't work in pdfs?
21:16:21 * oerjan is suspicious of that lone s
21:16:22 <fizzie> I'm sure it doesn't.
21:16:42 <olsner> doesn't pdfs have javascript support nowadays?
21:16:46 <olsner> *don't
21:17:10 <oerjan> hm it's in the original wikipedia entry
21:17:25 <boily> I'm struggling with recursive \newcommand. what I want to achieve is to define a \newcolor{lightblue}{0.8,0.8,1} in the preamble, then have \lightblue{this is coloured} in the text.
21:17:30 <fizzie> You can embed some Flash in it, I think.
21:17:36 <oerjan> which is itself a quote.
21:17:46 <fizzie> And also some JavaScript too.
21:17:58 <fizzie> It's probably all quite Adobe-only.

21:38:52 <kmc> are boily and fungot going to second level meditation?
21:38:53 <fungot> kmc: mess. my lord, you are too proud to yield her city for one little breach; should be divorced from her earthly spouse by the soft temper of a french man's sword? lo, to repair some other hour shall tell thee, farewell.
21:39:06 <fizzie> In re TRAINS: "In Scandinavia the Kiruna to Narvik railway carries iron ore from the mines in Kiruna in the north of Sweden down to the port of Narvik in Norway to this day. The rail cars are full of thousands of tons of iron ore on the way down to Narvik, and these trains generate large amounts of electricity by their regenerative braking. From Riksgränsen on the national border to the Port ...
21:39:13 <fizzie> ... of Narvik, the trains use only a fifth of the power they regenerate. The regenerated energy is sufficient to power the empty trains back up to the national border.[9] Any excess energy from the railway is pumped into the power grid to supply homes and businesses in the region, and the railway is a net generator of electricity."
21:39:21 <kmc> fuck yeah!
21:39:55 <Bike> how to make trains economical: fill them with ore. makes sense
21:40:12 <kmc> if you like trains you should join #cslounge-trains maybe
21:40:18 <kmc> i'm going to tell them about this now
21:40:39 <fizzie> Do tell them it was a Wikipedia quote, so you never know about reliability.
21:40:40 -!- copumpkin has joined.
21:40:42 <kmc> heh
21:40:44 <fizzie> [9] is another Wikipedia page.
21:40:49 <kmc> I couldn't find the same quote on Wikipedia
21:41:00 <fizzie> It was from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_brake
21:42:09 <olsner> how much energy does it take to bring the ore out of the mine to put it on the train though?
21:42:33 <fizzie> (Though that other page has a real citation, just not one available online -- "Næss, Per (3 August 2007). "Evighetsmaskiner". Fremover (in Norwegian). p. 28.")
21:42:54 <fizzie> I assume "Evighetsmaskiner" refers to a perpetual motion machine?
21:42:56 <Bike> olsner: eh, the romans could manage it, i'm sure swedes can

21:45:42 <olsner> cool, what's its name?
21:46:36 <fizzie> olsner: "Fixu vekotin" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5AM2eUriS0
21:46:38 <kmc> also I think there is almost no electric freight rail in the USA
21:47:58 <kmc> there was one railroad that dismantled their electrification to sell it for fast cash... just as the price of copper plummeted and fuel skyrocketed
21:49:02 <oerjan> <olsner> looks like learn doesn't handle case properly <-- yes it does. now plural on the other hand...
21:49:17 <olsner> is it `? that does s then?
21:49:21 <boily> `? cello
21:49:23 <HackEgo> The high level stucture of Cello projects is inspired by /Haskell/, while the syntax and semantics are inspired by /Python/ and /Obj-C/.
21:50:28 <oerjan> <fizzie> (Also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hccf-8BYaDg best perpetual machine song?) <-- yes. i've linked it here before.

21:59:11 <oerjan> good, good
22:02:16 <boily> the solution to the \newcommand in the \newcommand isn't exactly what I had in mind, but it works, and the end result is probably easier to autogenerate.
22:02:42 <boily> still, I haven't found a way to define a command whose name isn't yet known, and that can accept arguments.
