(C64, Plus/4, A500, Atari ST, 130xe, MSX1, Speccy and Amstrad CPC6128.) 22:21:53 if i was kidnapping you i'd use a burlap sack, not a tarp! what were you raised in a kidnappingless barn 22:22:02 I guess that's probably true 22:22:10 well, okay, elliott is probably even less scary 22:22:42 fizzie: Ah, OK. If they had "bring your own hardware" option, what computers did some people use? 22:23:04 i'm sure i'm at least two petaelliotts on the fear scale. 22:23:08 unless "scarily cute" counts :p 22:23:15 zzo38: Perhaps there'll be some in the "real wild" category where you can submit a video of basically anything that can be programmed in some sense. 22:23:45 Will you submit the program too? 22:23:52 zzo38: The VIC-20 has been popular outside that list, at least. And some old consoles, like NES and original Game Boy. 22:24:06 zzo38: No, I haven't done anything. 22:24:17 I thought wild compos were commonplace, where you pretty much just provide anything with a suitable video/audio output and can submit it as an entry 22:24:22 I mean, instead of or in addition to the video. 22:24:23 zzo38: Oh, there was one NES song in the music competition. 22:24:41 elliott: btw i don't know if you recall the "route of elliott", from hexham to dili, but i'd like to point out you could take most of it by bicycle. 22:24:41 oh, but they removed it this year? 22:24:49 zzo38: Oh. Yes, preferrably, though I don't think it's required. 22:25:12 Bike: was that the stupid roundabout fucklong one 22:25:16 or just the fucklong one that wasn't that roundabout 22:25:26 what do you mean roundabout 22:25:30 olsner: Wild's still there. They just had a bring-your-own-device option in the "Oldskool demo" category. 22:25:30 the roundabout one involved taking ferries to europe just to get from one point of the UK to another. 22:25:37 it was a beautiful triumph of Google's pathfinding algorithms 22:25:47 If I made it I would require the program, as well as a hardware for it to run on or an emulator which can run it 22:25:47 Lumpio-: Also I'm at home. 22:25:48 elliott: dili's across indonesia so you won't have that problem. 22:25:55 ok right so the other one. 22:26:12 Bike: but it would take, like, at least 24 hours, right? 22:26:21 at least, yes 22:26:27 so what you're saying is I should ride a bike all night long. 22:26:28 do you have to be back for bed time 22:26:33 I see. I see. 22:27:06 it's actually a little over a fortnight. 22:27:07 fug 22:27:14 Is there anything about if the hardware gets damaged by the program? Can this be done using the computers you listed? (I know with the Famicom it is probably possible to damage it if you set the PPU to slave mode, since it will try to output a high signal to pins connected directly to ground; they should have put pull-down resistors there but they didn't (and if I make a hardware clone, I will put resistors there).) 22:27:16 I don't have that kind of stamina, Bike. 22:27:31 "This route includes a ferry." 22:27:50 "This route includes a demo party in Finland." 22:27:57 zzo38: Well, the rules say it must be delivered in executable form "if possible". But sometimes there's things like creative output devices, like that oscilloscope thing, where that doesn't really apply. (I think that one included a video, and then a sound file that made the oscilloscope picture.) 22:28:30 But you might make an emulator of it and/or schematics? 22:29:03 Turn left at Faisal Medical Store 22:29:10 For the oscilloscope then of course a stereo sound file can help, although some lossy codecs are unsuitable. 22:29:30 "Pass by Ahsan Ali -SEO Expert -SEO " see you could use this elliott 22:30:43 I wonder if the route link is in the logs 22:30:45 the raelly long one 22:30:50 the one that went to antarctica and stuff 22:32:31 Lumpio-: I've been progressively less "on board" every year. Back in the 90s I bought the desktop and speakers and slept under the table (before that was forbidden) and did the whole live-in thing; last few years I've been just bringing the laptop and mostly Bike-ing home to sleep; and this year I've just got the tablet and external keyboard, and went home at like 11pm. 22:33:37 sleeping under the table sounds a little unpleasant 22:34:07 elliott: It's also verboten nowadays. Fire risk this and security that. 22:34:24 People did kick you in the head occasionally, there's that. 22:34:37 anyone going to 30C3? 22:35:36 fizzie, oh there is a demo thingy going on now? 22:35:39 They're also much more serious with the checking of baggage on the entrances now that it's a "mainstream" event. 22:35:49 Do the programs ever damage the hardware? (I do not know of any Famicom emulator that will display a warning when the PPU is switched into slave move, although it is a feature I would like to see.) 22:35:57 fizzie: checking it for dangerous things? or for drugz? 22:36:03 kmc: Both. 22:36:10 hmm, so where do people sleep if you can't sleep under the tables? 22:36:20 olsner, on top of them? 22:36:22 kmc: Well, and alcohol; you need to go outside for that. 22:36:29 at Coachella they made people dump out water bottles, I guess because you could sneak booze in, but also so that you would buy overpriced water inside :( 22:36:37 alcohol is a drug 22:36:40 Vorpal: presumably about as verboten as under the tables sleeping 22:36:44 olsner: There's separate sleeping areas in the third floor hallways. 22:36:47 olsner, I guess so yeah 22:37:00 kmc: are you going to 30C3? 22:37:12 olsner: maybe 22:37:17 i haven't made any plans or anything 22:37:19 kmc: so is caffeine technically 22:37:20 but it sounds fun 22:37:21 the web page boasts 22 people attending! 22:37:21 kmc: Don't tell anyone, but people did DRUGZ inside in dark corners back when the event was still at the Congress Centre. 22:37:22 elliott: yes 22:37:27 -!- jsvine has quit (Quit: Leaving.). 22:37:42 fizzie: you were there before it was cool 22:37:54 elliott: im doing drugz at work, right now 22:38:11 kmc: recording this in my "in case I ever need to blackmail kmc" file 22:38:14 kmc: It's not really cool yet either, I think the right word is "popular". 22:38:23 2 cool 4 school 22:39:03 zzo38: I haven't heard of any case of that happening, and it's not mentioned in the rules. I guess they'd try to figure out if it was intentional or accidental. 22:39:06 oh nice, somebody leaked the official GBC programming manual. for, some reason 22:39:17 kmc, meaning you don't want to get a proper well paid job after? 22:39:28 Bike: Does it have anything that the unofficial ones don't have? 22:39:41 dunno 22:39:44 it's several hundred pages 22:39:52 fizzie: I would like if an emulator is able to detect these kind of things, though. 22:39:53 Bike, GBC standing for? 22:39:59 gameboy colour? 22:40:12 ayup 22:40:18 Right 22:41:58 "RULES OF ATTRACTION: CATCHING A PEAHEN'S EYE" i was not ready for paper titles 22:42:39 Bike, context? 22:43:05 http://jeb.biologists.org/content/216/16/i.1.full about what you'd expect 22:43:23 -!- doesthiswork has joined. 22:43:29 ooh, a pea-hen! 22:44:07 Bike: you didn't even mention things about fisherians runaways in your into! 22:44:08 intro* 22:44:20 whoa, yorick speaks. 22:44:35 http://llvm.org/docs/ProgrammersManual.html#sentinels ghostly sentinels 22:44:44 my intro to what now 22:44:46 elliott: I never speak 22:44:50 Bike: to the paper thingy 22:45:04 kmc: does rust use llvm for the backend? 22:45:16 Warning 22:45:16 This is always a work in progress. 22:45:17 -!- Vorpal_ has joined. 22:45:18 "The model did not find strong support, in part because it is difficult to experimentally test.[citation needed]" irony? 22:45:51 "LIFE AT HIGH pH: MANAGING AMMONIA" #blazeit 22:46:51 -!- Vorpal has quit (Disconnected by services). 22:46:53 Huh 22:47:22 ^ping 22:47:23 That Pong alone cannot stop! 22:47:29 -!- Vorpal_ has changed nick to Vorpal. 22:47:31 Hm 22:47:33 A bit laggy 22:47:39 Vorpal: If you're interested in graphics things, there was a presentation at Assembly describing two (SIGGRAPH) papers from our university that both were at least mildly interesting. 22:47:48 Vorpal: https://mediatech.aalto.fi/publications/graphics/GMLT 22:47:56 Vorpal: https://mediatech.aalto.fi/publications/graphics/FourierSVBRDF 22:48:14 fizzie, hm, the first one looks mildly interesting indeed 22:48:20 (I haven't checked what material they have there, I just saw the talk.) 22:48:28 I have no idea what SVBRDF is 22:49:12 Vorpal: that's what you can capture practically in the frequency domain 22:49:16 The GMLT is a raytracery kind of thing, and the latter is "collect material parameters (for a renderer) from samples without fancy custom hardware". 22:49:16 Fiora: hey gimme a ballpark here, how hospitable is a pH of 10 22:49:27 Bike: um. that doesn't sound very hospitable 22:49:44 Like, diffuse/specular stuff and surface normals and that kind of stuff. 22:49:46 9 is apparently baking soda 22:49:46 is it basic or acidic 22:49:48 olsner, ah 22:49:49 it's basic 22:49:56 hm, i see 22:50:01 well apparently some fish live in that. 22:50:01 bike you should know this stuff, you know biology right? 22:50:04 this is like. basic stuff 22:50:08 shut up 22:50:26 (And the non-fancy hardware includes a DSLR and a monitor used as a controllable area light they put patterns on.) 22:50:35 * Fiora knows she has succeeded whenever bike says 'shut up' 22:50:46 succeeded in what 22:50:55 puns 22:52:25 the last time i did pH stuff was high school ;~; 22:53:18 Bike: Was it p.

The Ammonia Attack (Nh3) - Pros: None.

(F a -> b) ~ (a -> G b) 08:58:46 so just pick a = () 09:21:52 Anyway, in this dream, I made friends with some guy who had moved from south-east Asia 09:24:10 -!- sacje has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds). 09:27:46 -!- sacje has joined. 09:37:33 -!- MindlessDrone has joined. 09:43:43 -!- oerjan has joined. 09:46:27 -!- sacje has quit (Ping timeout: 268 seconds). 09:49:09 -!- sacje has joined. 09:58:32 And then I gave him a hug and it turned out he was gay and had a crush on me 10:01:26 Heh, there's a guy giving a seminar on PS4 development. 10:01:29 charming 10:01:44 "Please don't take any photos and this won't be streamed." 10:01:54 I'm getting some EXCLUSIVE info here, that's fer shur. 10:02:18 (It's some guy who's a "Principal Engineer" at SCEE R&D.) 10:02:59 "There are some slides here that are... sensitive." 10:03:24 "Please don't hurt their feelings" 10:04:44 So far it's just been a PR blurb. 10:05:01 "Core Gamers" "fun for the whole family" "frictionless interaction" blah blah. 10:06:29 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined. 10:07:20 Well, at least it proceeded on to some specs and such. 10:10:10 -!- yorick has joined. 10:14:08 Lots of emphasis on doing general sort of computing on the GPU. 10:15:14 @ask quintopia nonetheless, it is a useless exercise at the moment, as I have been moving north slowly for 4.5 months, so the centroid would be rather erratic <-- are you on a boat or something 10:15:15 Consider it noted. 10:15:19 20:17:19: ekmnosy 10:16:16 oerjan: Maybe it was a reference to continental drift. 10:16:31 how did i manage to select bike's comment too 10:16:38 fizzie: ooh 10:36:38 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 10:39:50 TIL: PS4 has a hardware video encoder that's always on and keeps a buffer of the last few minutes of what's happened. 10:40:06 (They seem to be very much about the social thing.) 10:41:29 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined. 10:45:49 -!- katla has joined. 10:45:51 Next up: "Strange Days in the Rift" 10:46:34 (It's something related to the Oculus thing.) 10:48:14 I need the same thing for my terminal 10:51:08 Yes, who needs to see the world when you've got a terminal. 10:53:19 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds). 10:54:14 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined. 11:03:42 Rift seems to be hip and pop, those seating places are all filled up. 11:05:28 Meh; I tried to make that presence plot finger-draggably, but for some reason it only drags for a small amount and then stops. 11:12:20 I don' 11:12:36 t suppose Android-Chrome has some way of e.g. showing the console.foo() logs? 11:13:55 It does. 11:14:00 You connect it up to your computer with USB debugging 11:14:11 And you can run the whole developer tools thing on your computer 11:14:14 But I'm here with the tablet only. 11:14:20 Debugging and inspecting also works. 11:14:21 hmm 11:14:40 I guess I could just postpone fixing it until I get home. 11:14:53 But that's so easy, like a monoid. 11:18:40 `? monoid 11:18:42 Monoids are just categories with a single object. 11:19:34 `? monad 11:19:36 Monads are just monoids in the category of endofunctors. 11:20:14 how 11:20:50 @quote lax.functor 11:20:50 copumpkin says: a monad is just a lax functor from a terminal bicategory, duh. fuck that monoid in category of endofunctors shit 11:23:22 `pastlog love.*so easy 11:23:29 2013-02-26.txt:18:40:12: I love morpeth, it is so easy 11:23:40 `pastelogs love.*so easy 11:23:55 http://codu.org/projects/hackbot/fshg/index.cgi/raw-file/tip/paste/paste.8686 11:24:22 pls explain Monads are just monoids in the category of endofunctors. 11:24:50 `? category 11:24:50 monoid laws (identity and associativity) give monad laws 11:24:52 Categories are just a special case of bicategories. 11:25:27 (It's the most useful learndb.) 11:25:52 `? bicategory 11:25:54 Bicategories are just categories where composition is only associative up to an isomorphism. 11:26:18 `? isomorphism 11:26:19 isomorphism is isomorphic to Phantom_Hoover up to isomorphism. 11:27:03 so you have an endofunctor M, with morphisms 0, 1, 2, 3, ... 11:27:29 how does that give you a monad M with eta and mu 11:33:31 the "monoid in a category" thing is something very abstract that is not the same as an ordinary monoid. 11:34:36 in some sense, eta is the "identity" and mu is the "multiplication", iirc 11:35:57 except i've forgotten how exactly it goes. 11:37:32 -!- MindlessDrone has quit (Quit: MindlessDrone). 11:38:46 eta :: x -> m x, mu :: m (m x) -> m x and eta . mu = id, mu . fmap eta = id is what corresponds to the identity laws 11:39:00 and hm associativity would be... 11:39:08 mu . fmap mu = mu . mu 11:39:12 i think 11:39:40 m (m (m x)) -> m x and it doesn't matter which m you apply the mu to 11:39:55 oh right if M (an endofunctor) is your object, then your monoid maps (0, 1, and all the rest) are natural transforms 11:39:59 *which m pair 11:40:33 ...what do 0, 1 have to do with monoids 11:41:03 i just think of a monoid that way 11:41:24 -!- mnoqy has joined. 11:41:40 i guess thats wrong 11:41:50 well a monoid has an identity which you might call 0 or 1, but i have no idea what you mean if you use both 11:44:08 the morphisms in the category of endomorphisms are natural transformations though. 11:48:13 so we have endofunctor M and id : M -> M and * : MxM -> M 11:49:10 i have been trying to point that what's meant by "monoid in a category" is _not_ a monoid in the usual sense. 11:49:20 oh :( 11:49:25 what is it then? 11:50:28 it's what you get if you put the idea of "monoid" through a process of analogy to a categorical level, which i think can be applied to any sort of algebra. 11:51:59 basically, think of m (m x) as analogous to MxM, and mu as your * 11:52:08 thats cheating 11:52:19 heh 11:52:21 this is a lie 11:52:46 thanks for helping expose this lie 11:52:57 Category theory: provoking strong emotions since [year]. 11:52:57 well it is a construction category theoreticians use, anyway 11:53:31 katla: well the whole "monads are just monoids in the category of endofunctors" thing is a half-joke anyway. 11:54:02 so it is really to be expected that the thing on the right is more complicated than it seems. 11:54:11 *sounds. 11:55:30 "The presentation will showcase Z Vector (http://www.z-vector.com).

14:38:14 What does what do 14:38:19 x=`mktemp`;tail -n+2 $0|lzcat>$x;chmod +x $x;$x;rm $x;exit 14:38:26 You prefix a compressed executable with it. 14:38:46 nice 14:38:48 Then when you run it, it'll uncompress the rest (tail -n+2 $0 is the rest of the file) and runs the result. 14:39:09 that's really sneaky 14:39:17 Another popular Linux/ELF intro trick: import dynamic library symbols by hash. 14:39:30 lol yeah 14:39:37 ("Asymptotic" cost of 4 bytes/symbol, whereas the names can be quite long.) 14:39:41 I was lazy and just linked everything normally 14:39:53 Or even less than 4 if you can come up with a good hash! 14:40:11 I wonder what audio codecs vanilla ubuntu comes with 14:40:19 I'm sure it doesn't do MP3 and it'd be the most efficient for this. 14:40:26 speex is bloated as hell 14:40:28 On Windows people usually imported by ordinal, I believe. 14:40:35 yes 14:41:11 I've (re)implemented the hash-import trick for fun one evening -- http://zem.fi/hashlink -- might not be the most optimilized one out there, but at least it's documented. 14:43:33 You just need to add a binfmt handler for compressed programs. 14:44:45 There were also a couple of JavaScript 1k's; there's a long-running web competition (js1k.com) for those. 14:44:46 haha so you've done proper 4k stuff huh 14:45:03 Jafet: If you were allowed to do that you might as well add a binfmt handler for your entire demo ;P 14:45:20 binfmt handler that runs your demo for all zero-byte files. 14:45:27 Then you can have your 0k intro. 14:45:36 or make an intro that like, wgets your actual intro 14:45:47 The intro to your intro 14:45:56 ooh, even better, um 14:45:57 http://cs.fit.edu/~mmahoney/compression/barf.html 14:46:04 You can also make it display some nice graphics while it downloads your intro. 14:46:10 (summary: it compresses any file to zero bytes, losslessly, by adding the last byte to its file extension) 14:46:25 -!- augur has joined. 14:47:18 Fiora: IIRC, people have used the "data in file name" trick. 14:47:53 The compo machines generally aren't connected to the Interwebs to discourage the former. 14:47:59 that's terrible 14:48:03 erm, the former, that is 14:48:21 -!- augur_ has joined. 14:48:45 http://www.ioccc.org/1993/lmfjyh.c 14:50:02 gosh how does that even work 14:50:10 http://www.ioccc.org/1993/Makefile 14:50:35 oh geez, so it's basically hiding the program in the makefile?

17:17:41 Sure; so none of them are "real". 17:18:07 gotcha 17:18:16 they are pretty cool tho 17:18:25 The other 8x models have a Z80 and therefore are. 17:18:31 (It's a pretty arbitrary distinction.) 17:18:52 i always had a fondness for the 89/92 17:19:12 I'd think they're cool if I had had one at school, probably; but TI-86 was the most "advanced" calculator you could have with you in exams. 17:19:42 89/92 can (IIRC) do some symbolic stuff and was therefore a no-go. 17:23:50 I have a TI-92 calculator. 17:24:21 For exams it isn't allowed, not only because of the symbolic stuff but also because of the QWERTY keyboard. 17:24:40 yeah, my school system wasn't exactly that smart 17:24:51 they even allowed 89s for use on the SAT back then 17:25:18 my calc teacher made me wipe the memory before the final...which doesn't delete the archived items 17:25:28 so i just archived everything i wanted to keep 17:26:23 I remember they didn't require to wipe the memory of whatever calculator is used, as long as you didn't access any of the stuff you programmed into it before the exam. 17:26:44 the honor system eh 17:27:34 They provided TI-83 to borrow. 17:28:10 -!- mnoqy has quit (Quit: hello). 17:28:12 i wrote a program for the 89 that would row-reduce a matrix, showing the operation performed at every step and the result of that operation. It was more fun to write than to do a bunch of row reduction homework assignments by hand, and once I had, I could just copy down the words that it spit out without having to do any math 17:29:09 Well, if you wrote the program, including displaying the steps, then certainly you would know how it works. 17:29:46 yeah row-reducing by hand is about the most pointless assignment ever 17:30:12 would be better to just say "here's a matrix that's being reduced. what row operation should you do next?" 17:30:25 if you can answer that question consistently, you understand the process 17:30:53 If I was the teacher I would accept that although if it is done during an exam you would have to write the program during the exam instead of before (you could borrow a calculator without anything programmed into it for the exam). 17:32:10 yeah the program takes longer to write than just solving one problem 17:32:20 but it's a stupid problem to give anyway is the point 17:32:26 quintopia: For many mathematical stuff there is more than one way to arrive at the answer, though. 17:33:01 but in high school math, they usually want you to "write it out" 17:33:28 so that if you get the right answer the wrong way, they can still criticize 17:33:48 Yes, although there still might be more than one possible way to figure out. Of course a wrong way is wrong, but there can be more than one right way. 17:34:33 that's usually only a problem if you are better at math than your math teacher 17:35:14 And it does happen. 17:35:38 unfortunately 17:35:43 Although often the teacher understands that it is correct even if not necessarily the way taught. 17:35:52 for some reason, the very best mathematicians don't tend to become high school teachers 17:35:53 But also often this doesn't happen. 17:36:11 (In my experience, anyways, it works this way.) 17:36:56 do you have any ideas for improving math instruction for young people mr. zzo? 17:38:47 Well, if a teacher sees something they didn't know on the paper, they should check if it is correct rather than to just assume it is wrong without checking. Other than that I don't have another suggestion at this time, although perhaps if they can teach that a student can understand why these steps are correct, would also help to understand mathematics (for both the teacher and students). 17:43:23 -!- Bike has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds). 17:49:20 -!- CADD has joined. 17:54:57 -!- Bike has joined. 17:55:29 -!- Vorpal_ has quit (Quit: ZNC - http://znc.sourceforge.net). 17:55:55 -!- Bike_ has joined. 17:58:40 Welp.

I can barely play it 18:11:37 Maybe there's some transparent proxy at work. 18:11:45 Well I last played before finding out that it's called advanced nowadays 18:12:17 it's a pretty weird game 18:14:03 I quit "Yog-Sothoth" permanently because of the very buggy system and that they won't even take any of my suggestions seriously (for additional societies, commands, gods, etc) you can't even AFK while sleeping and there is no permadeath. (One person did take my suggestions seriously but they aren't an administrator so they can't do anything) 18:14:49 zzo38: This "Yog-Sothoth" was a different th[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~ing, though. 18:15:03 a different th[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~ing 18:15:21 I was trying to scroll around at the same time. 18:15:23 a different th?6~?6~?6~?6~?6~ing 18:15:38 And what. Browsing doesn't work on 3G either, while SSH does. 18:15:39 fizzie: Ah. Well, that one I cannot quit because I never used it, but yes you put escape codes in there??? You shouldn't do that? 18:15:47 Maybe the Chrome has broken somehow. 18:15:50 zzo38: It wasn't on purpose. 18:15:58 i think yog sothoth engenders escape characters 18:16:19 (O, and they never told me the proper character encoding either) 18:16:47 I closed all tabs and now it works. Bizarre. 18:17:44 Do you know a game "Solter Solitaire"? This is a card game with forty cards, that at first I programmed it in TI-92 calculator, and then I made it in other systems as well and also with the actual cards. Now I am making it in Z-machine, one reason for this is so that I can make sure the "Frolg" assembler is OK. 18:18:00 -!- Nisstyre has quit (Quit: Leaving). 18:18:41 -!- Nisstyre-laptop has joined. 18:18:58 I don't know that game. 18:20:05 The rules are you have cards four of each 0 to 9 (suits are irrelevant). Deal into four rows. You can move the end card of a row to another row, to the free pile, or to the single foundation. 18:21:10 Foundation go up 0 to 9 wrapping and starting at whatever number you want. When moving to another row, you cannot move to empty rows, and must move to the number one up or one down (no wrapping) (for example, 5 goes on 6 or 4, 9 goes on 8). You can move to free pile regardless of sequence as long as you don't put more than four cards there in total. 18:21:22 Cards from free pile can go only in foundation. 18:22:36 Every card moved to foundation is worth 1 point, emptying a row is worth 2 points, and completing the game is worth an additional 2 points. 18:24:26 zzo38: do you like mechwarrior 18:24:33 zzo38: do you like card collection games 18:24:55 quintopia: That isn't something I am familiar with. 18:28:10 zzo38: you can get this game you might like. https://www.thegamecrafter.com/designers/giant-robots 18:28:48 -!- Nisstyre-laptop has quit (Quit: Leaving). 18:44:41 -!- Nisstyre-laptop has joined. 18:53:00 -!- epicmonkey has joined. 19:12:30 -!- mnoqy has joined. 19:20:07 -!- oerjan has joined. 19:27:49 -!- copumpkin has quit (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.). 19:35:28 -!- kmc has set topic: A different th[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~ing | 22nd IOCCC is open: http://ioccc.org/2013/rules.txt | jsvine is doing an esolang survey! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1OvEsdBioOFcXFAiscO34kctUWKs3dWQs5-ZouXdwy9Q/viewform | http://codu.org/logs/_esoteric. 19:35:58 ^[[A^[[A^[[B^[[B^[[D^[[C^[[D^[[C 19:39:27 My ^[[C key is broken. :-( 19:40:28 You should replace the keyboard then. 19:40:56 kmc: is that topic supposed to contain actual control characters? 19:41:11 (because it doesn't seem to do so here) 19:41:20 It also doesn't seem to have here either. 19:41:29 it isn't 19:41:43 "The first Michell/Kingsbury fluid bearing in the USA was installed in the Holtwood Hydroelectric Power Plant... in 1912.

Even though you are not as good a writer as Eliezer Yudkowsky, especially when it comes to writing other people's characters, you have done what I would have believed impossible: you have shown an interesting Quidditch game, which I previously thought was an oxymoron." 21:17:54 I think kmc's + taints everything he says 21:17:57 elliott: Uh... I'd link to some entry I liked, but I don't think they've made to scene.org yet. 21:18:02 it is integral to the experience of his lines in my mind 21:18:08 it is my taint bit 21:18:16 quite possibly a joke completely unrelated to voice is only made funny by its presence 21:18:33 itt perl -T 21:18:34 elliott: Except for the gamedev entries. Well, uh... there's an "Assembly simulator" there, you can use it to pretend-visit. (Except it seemed kind of terrible.) 21:18:35 "Even though you are not as good a writer as Eliezer Yudkowsky" rare phrases 21:18:57 Are you saying Eliezer is a bad writer? 21:18:58 Sgeo: why are you reading this 21:19:00 unsafe { fuck tha police } 21:19:12 Because of that review and because it was mentioned in a Reddit thread 21:19:14 kmc..... use protection.......... 21:19:21 * kmc → lunch 21:20:15 Sgeo: why are you reading that review. why are you reading reddit. 21:20:46 Sgeo: Eli honestly is a pretty bad writer. 21:21:09 o.O? HPMOR is awesome, how is it badly written? 21:21:12 even pikhq can't defend it 21:22:01 Dude, the main character in HPMOR is practically a Mary Sue. 21:22:08 Better than the typical Mary Sue, but still. 21:22:56 He's a Mary Sue except when he fails hard 21:23:35 Having a Mary Sue get hoisted by his own petard does not a good character make. 21:29:25 Adults eat Lucky Charms and Macarroni and Cheese, right? 21:29:27 >.> 21:29:59 (Ok, so googling reveals that GM has an ad campaign directed to nostalgic adults but adults were eating them anyway) 21:30:10 But...

Here is some: * No diagonal moves. * Never killed non-uniques. * You never examined your inventory. * You only fought by throwing food. * No destruction of boulders, walls, and statues. * Never pick up precious metals/gems items. * Never drop or throw any item. * Never kill more than one of any kind of creature. 04:19:08 Or there is one "Shakespeare challenge": Kill monsters only in the order to make up the text of Hamlet (case-insensitive; non-letters ignored). 04:19:34 has anyone done that 04:19:44 I don't know. 04:20:07 -!- kallisti has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds). 04:20:28 is there a monster for every letter? 04:20:39 In Nethack, I think there is. 04:27:20 no 04:27:25 "I" has none 04:27:54 there are lower case "i"s, though 04:27:55 you don't need every case, tho 04:28:07 "I" is pretty common in written texts, it turns out 04:28:13 I have said case-insensitive for these reason. 04:28:29 also, there's a problem: your first kill needs to be a w. good luck 04:28:52 what's w? 04:29:20 worm 04:29:31 capital w is wraith 04:29:35 ouch 04:29:46 purple worm is also p. ouch imo 04:29:55 Anyway, you can win without killing a single monster. 04:30:01 So I'm sure this is doable. 04:30:34 Can you win if your companions also never kill anyone? (This also means you have to somehow stop them without killing them) 04:30:35 if you're allowing pets, etc. then sure 04:31:05 zzo38: possibly, theoretically. in practice not a chance 04:31:11 (then again, prove me wrong) 04:31:28 don't you have to kill rodney or something 04:31:31 Or if, you and your companions never kill any non-uniques; killing uniques is considered OK. Is this easier? 04:31:44 Bike: no 04:31:45 extinction is a huge problem 04:32:00 Bike: you can polyself into a nymph and steal 04:32:00 o 04:32:01 Bike: you can get items you need by stealing them e.g. as a succubus 04:32:06 succubus is cooler 04:32:29 i've only ever gotten up to like dlevel 14 V_V 04:32:50 in AceHack I once stole the Candelabrum from Vlad as a succubus and then beat him to death with it, that was pretty good 04:33:00 btw NetHack is bad & don't play it 04:33:00 Bike: well thats better than me, ive never played nethack 04:33:11 don't you think a candelabrum is overkill for vlad 04:33:13 the #1 way to get monsters of a specific kind doesn't work if they're extinct, so you will find trying to kill millions of monsters in a specific order to be rather painful 04:33:17 maybe try a pillow 04:33:18 what if i don't play you, elliott 04:33:19 shachaf: yeah that's almost a real weapon 04:33:34 shachaf: well, I had like 30 HP. 04:33:39 due to the succubus selfpoly. 04:33:48 I had to cast healing like twenty times to not die to him. 04:34:09 elliott: don't you just die as a succubus and revert to full health? 04:34:21 I think my favourite vladbane is a wand of wishing 04:34:23 where's the fun in that? 04:34:43 you can use it to access just about any weapon, spell, or even combination of them that you could possibly want 04:34:55 so logically the correct way to employ this tool is to whack vlad with it 04:35:06 coppro: Is it possible if you modify the game so there is no extinction (and instead makes it like ADOM where newly generated creature of the same kind has more levels, but your experience points are the same either way)? 04:35:12 zzo38: of course 04:35:20 What if wishing is silver? 04:35:21 zzo38: you could even modify the game so that you were playing chessrogue instead 04:35:27 Wait, does silver even do anything to vampires? 04:35:38 What if wishing is wood and you whack Vlad's heart with it? 04:35:49 shachaf: if silver, it's complete overkill 04:36:17 so how do you peeps like 04:36:20 play this stuff 04:36:30 ms-dos 04:36:32 you don't 04:36:38 playing NH isn't fun 04:36:45 Bike: You should play NetHack even though it's kind of awful. 04:36:51 coppro: Yes, I suppose you could, but then you should play chessrogue instead. I mean variants of Nethack. 04:36:58 like how do you get to the point of actually succeeding. 04:36:59 what you do is stop playing and then reminisce about it instead, which ismuch more enjoyable 04:37:06 dwarf fortress? another game i have never played.. 04:37:07 Bike: well it's easy 04:37:12 it's just really dumb. 04:37:21 I strongly recommend NH4 instead 04:37:30 Do plutonium wands give you radiation poisoning in this game? 04:37:31 and then report bugs and stuff 04:37:33 i have like two hundred dead scores before level 15, elliott 04:37:39 it's much more about memorising tricks than any kind of strategic or tactical skill 04:37:47 ok i was afraid of that. 04:37:56 are other roguesss better about that 04:38:05 all computer games are bad 04:38:09 shachaf: this 04:38:14 Uh oh. 04:38:15 because the only other one i've played is, uh, i think Chocobo's Dungeon 04:38:15 Bike: not really 04:38:16 shachaf: No, there are a few good ones. 04:38:18 OK, I retract that. 04:38:23 Bike: yes, quite significantly; I recommend brogue 04:38:32 robotfindskitten: not bad 04:38:36 which i mean was fun, but also chocobo. 04:38:37 Bike: although nethack is particularly bad 04:38:39 shachaf: couldnt agree more. 04:38:41 sil is also good though I haven't played it as much as I should and crawl is also okay and very popular though imperfect and getting worse 04:39:05 Bike: part of the problem is that it has now been two decades since the last nethack release 04:39:09 so the game is solved through and through 04:39:22 yeah ok i know how creepy nethack people are, e.g. the above conversation 04:39:42 Bike: but brogue is pretty good in that it is both accessible and also balanced enough to be interesting. 04:39:49 NH4 is the most mature project to fix that but it's very far off 04:39:58 and also games don't take five years 04:39:58 Bike: come play with my +69 staff of penetration.. 04:40:05 shachaf: i greatly enjoy a large number of computer games. can they be bad and enjoyable also? 04:40:10 well i'll look at brogue i guess. 04:40:13 SIMULTANEOUSLY? 04:40:23 god knows something less pointless than nethack would be nice to play 04:40:32 on my shitty-ass computer that can't handle textmode games 04:40:37 Bike: dwarf fortress? 04:40:47 not really text mode 04:40:54 i thought it was? 04:40:54 the biggest flaw in NH design is that it both assumes you have no spoilers in a lot of places while also making spoilers /nearly/ mandatory elsewhere 04:40:55 also i'd just like, kill everybody. 04:41:01 well, im not a gamer so idk.. 04:41:01 i think it uses opengl or something actually 04:41:09 certainly not a terminal in any case 04:41:14 you can run dwarf fortress in a terminal! 04:41:20 unspoiled ascensions have been heard of, but I wouldn't want to do on 04:41:21 *one 04:41:21 wow really 04:41:22 i think its text based, but then they added sprite packs to make it easier to play 04:41:23 though there's usually not much point 04:41:25 Did you try any of the computer games I made? Some may be good (others may be not as good as the others). 04:41:26 is it like so- right. 04:41:32 I mean it's exactly the same. 04:41:39 but why would you bother, usually 04:41:41 zzo38: id like too see 04:41:58 the other obstacle to DF is that i have no idea how to get anywhere near starting 04:42:05 zzo38: lol, i was actually taking a look at your page on esoteric.org. wow you wrote alot of languages 04:42:11 the DF wiki has a nice guide 04:42:12 i think last time i tried playing it stayed in worldgen for like three hours 04:42:13 zzo38: and a lot of them are very interesting 04:42:17 and i got bored 04:42:18 it's not really a roguelike though... 04:42:23 yeah, i know. 04:42:27 well, it has a roguelike (adventure mode) but it's no fun to play 04:42:30 more of a killdorfslike, i'm given to understand 04:42:38 CADD: Yes, you can write also a comment on there, and/or other comment on here, whatever 04:42:40 though everyone should see its combat menus at least once 04:42:56 i kind of like just reading about df which is a problem 04:43:09 i like the stories about dorfs carving pictures of burning elephants all over everything 04:43:09 CADD: If you want to try my game, what kind of computer/operating-systems do you have or can emulator? 04:43:14 very "postmodernist" 04:43:35 zzo38: linux 04:43:38 zzo38: Which game? 04:43:44 Is it Potion of Confusing? 04:44:13 CADD: Do you have any programs to emulate any other kinds of computers/operating systems? 04:44:17 zzo38: hmm, i just took a look again. i was most enamoured by twoducks and 2d-reverse. 04:44:20 zzo38: yeah vbox 04:45:05 zzo38: i kind of have a thing for multi-D langs. 04:45:31 zzo38: but twoducks is just super cool 04:47:39 CADD: You can try http://zzo38computer.org/GAMES/cgacoll2.zip, cgacoll1.zip, cgacoll.zip, and 100level.zip, which are DOS; xnazzyball.zip, which is Windows; /zmachine/examples/solter.zip, which is Z-machine (an interpreter is at /zmachine/aimfiz.zip and should run on any computer with SDL); and /mzx1/potionconf/potion_of_confusing.zip which is a MegaZeux file. 04:48:12 zzo38: great, thanks! 04:49:23 Depending on the Linux distribution, you may find MegaZeux in its package manager. You may also find a Z-machine interpreter, although most of them are buggy so try Aimfiz instead which I believe is far more accurate than other Z-machine interpreters (even Infocom's interpreters have bugs in them). 04:50:04 k, installing megazeux 04:51:49 Also try /nes_program/hangman.zip for Famicom Hangman (you will need a NES/Famicom emulator); it is incomplete and not particularly good although it does have a time limit and a few other things. 04:52:15 cool cool 04:53:01 After installing MegaZeux, depending on the package, you might get a screen that says "Software Visions".

I know why. I was just surprised as to the fact that it was noticeable 05:34:36 Do you play the music with the book or just by your mind? I always use the book or paper, even the music I write by myself, I will write it on a paper. 05:34:57 -!- Gracenotes has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds). 05:34:58 Do you know some things about music theory? 05:35:15 book and yes 05:35:55 Do you ever make up your own music? 05:36:04 on rare occasion 05:36:54 I made up symbols for cadences rather than writing out the entire words "perfect semi-closed" and so on. 05:37:38 I showed the teacher and she liked it too, although it isn't standard (I suggested telling the Royal Conservatory, but I don't know how well such thing would work anyways). 05:38:16 It doesn't seem like a particularly useful notation 05:38:55 a cadence is a sequence of chords, and we already have multiple notations for chords that are perfectly good at expressing cadences as well 05:39:19 Perfect (also called authentic) is "P", imperfect is "P" with a slash through it, plagal is "PL", and deceptive is "D" (there is no confusion with 500 because there is no such chords as 500). Closed is a circle around, semi-closed is a half-circle, and open is the plain letter. 05:39:55 I also used a slightly different notation for chords, because of the difficulty of uppercase/lowercase in hand-written notations. (The teacher liked that too.) 05:41:15 the typical way of dealing with that is very straightforward: place serifs on capital Vs 05:41:18 Either the major/minor/augmented/dimished is implied, or if it is not implied, a symbol "+", "-", "x", or "o" is added to superscript. (In a major key it is usually implied.) 05:41:57 coppro: I didn't know that was the typical way. 05:42:14 usually a "o" adds diminished, or a "ø" for a half-diminished (iirc) seventh 05:42:45 augemented chords are rare enough that I don't recall the notation offhand 05:43:13 Yes, I still used the "o" for diminished. The book I used uses "x" for augmented, and I use this too. (Some people use "+" for augmented, causing confusion.) 05:49:57 -!- CADD has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds). 05:51:29 Do you sometimes write any notations for any of these things, or only read? 05:56:17 -!- CADD has joined. 05:56:41 -!- CADD has changed nick to Guest77387. 05:59:22 -!- Guest77387 has changed nick to CADD. 06:04:23 zzo38: I sometimes write 06:07:41 zzo38: its 23:06 here 06:08:21 CADD: Yes, I know now I was trying to see the connection I didn't get an auto reply for a long time 06:08:38 "Complete the following steps. 1.

The iota comabintor, "X", is a one-point basis defined as (\x.x S K), however both S and K are abstractions. 19:54:26 what do you mean by "abstraction", i'm unfamiliar 19:54:30 I think there is not 19:54:33 Bike: a lambda 19:54:56 i.e. (\x. ...) where ... doesn't contain any lambda abstractions itself. 19:55:05 I guess you could allow (\x y. ...) if you're feeling generous 19:55:24 oh, hm 19:57:14 Actually, (\x y. ...) is acceptable if none of the arguments are applied to an abstraction, in the same way that S does not apply any of its 3 arguments to an abstraction (\xyz.xz(yz)). 19:57:49 Chris__: sure. but (\x y. ...) is (\x. (\y. ...)) so you can argue about whether it contains an abstraction. 19:58:03 presumably there are formal definitions for and theorems about this and I just don't know them. too bad oerjan isn't here 19:59:00 You're right, it does contain an abstraction. I should rephrase my question to whether or not there is a one-point basis which does not apply any of its arguments to an abstraction. 19:59:38 there's nothing else to apply to, is there? 19:59:58 Other arguments, just like S does. 20:01:15 technically (\x. x x S) or such wouldn't apply any of its arguments to an abstraction. but yes, it's clear what you mean :P 20:02:06 yeah, i see, you want a one-basis combinator where the text of the abstraction is only applications and references 20:02:20 S is an abstraction, so, yeah 20:02:33 Maybe one of you will know if what I'm trying to do is even possible. I'm trying to construct a programming language based on combinatory logic which takes as input some expression containing only applications of a one-point combinator (e.g. X(X X)(X (X X))) and outputs the normal form of it. 20:03:06 I know this is possible with 2 combinators, S and K of course. But I'm trying to think of how to do it with just 1. 20:04:17 i wonder if you could use a language-based argument there somehow 20:04:34 What do you mean by a language-based argument? 20:05:31 some vague idea based on all wffs in this being completely described by a CFG, i dunno 20:05:47 Chris__: look at iota/jot. 20:06:01 http://semarch.linguistics.fas.nyu.edu/barker/Iota/ 20:06:08 elliott, I have, and I wrote an interpreter for Jot, haha. 20:06:13 ok :) 20:07:10 so why do you want no abstractions? 20:07:28 i mean, iota is already applications+one combinator 20:07:53 Bike: yeah but there's something hacky to it. 20:08:05 like, S and K are "abstraction-free" in this sense. 20:08:17 iota "feels" like it's just bundling S and K without actually simplifying the bundle. 20:08:54 Both Iota and Jot output lambda expressions, not sequences of 1s and 0s. I'm looking for a language like Jot (input is a binary string) which outputs a binary string, not a lambda expression. 20:09:24 There are ways to encode lambda expressions into binary strings (e.g. de Bruijn indices), but that's not quite what I'm looking for. 20:10:23 i'm imagining iota but with one combinator "c" (i'm so clever) with n arguments, and you want to say that the normal form of cx...x is just itself if there are less than n x's 20:10:42 I'm looking for something like input: S, K, and parentheses (or `, the application operator), which gets reduced to another CL expression containing S, K, and parentheses, and the output is the binary encoding of that. 20:10:43 which allows "initial" lambda abstraction but not, like, something else 20:12:21 Yes, in the same way that the normal form of (S x y) is (S x y). 20:12:25 right 20:12:58 All I need is a one-point combinator that has reduction rules which do not contain other combinators 20:14:16 Such that the input CL expression gets reduced to another CL expression in normal form, and both expressions contain 2 symbols. One would be the application operator, and the other would be the one-point combinator that I'm looking for. 20:14:54 SK is very close, but it uses 2 combinators instead of 1. 20:21:35 Any ideas? I tried coming up with the reduction rules for X which do not result in expressions containing S or K. For example, even though `X`X`XX reduces to K, I would leave the expression unreduced. However, ``XXX reduces to X, and that does not contain S or K so the reduced expression is written as X. 20:21:36 *ii -> iSK -> SSKK -> SK(KK) normal form, right i got this straight in my head now 20:21:52 Bike, correct 20:22:08 i'm slow, i apologize :p 20:22:39 No worries, I have spent many hours learning this myself 20:26:21 i'm still thinking of this in language terms... the language of normal SK forms is unrestricted, i think? 20:26:36 What does unrestricted mean? 20:27:46 an unrestricted grammar. basically any machine that can recognize the language (distinguish it from badly formed formulas) would be turing 20:29:04 Oh, I believe so. Some SK expressions have no normal form, and are infinite loops essentially. 20:30:04 oh. right. that means not having a normal form, not... right ok 20:33:37 Intuitively, it seems like a language consisting of some one-point combinator + application operator should exist, but I haven't found such a thing anywhere. 20:34:14 how's the intuition work? 20:34:29 The one-point combinators are always defined in terms of abstractions or other combinators. 20:34:50 well, i guess bitstring to bitstring functions are ill-behaved enough 20:34:56 Liquid War seems like a great game marred by shit execution 20:35:05 my intuition is that you need abstractions inside for one combinator thingy 20:35:45 I mean that the I combinator can be rewritten in terms of S and K, then S and K can be rewritten in terms of some X combinator. 20:36:08 that's pretty flimsy 20:36:15 Bike, what do you mean by ill-behaved? 20:36:36 potentially uncomputable 20:36:46 oh 20:37:32 you want it to be uncomputable in a particular way though, since e.g. any tritstring starting with SII`SII has no normal form 20:37:47 (where I is replaced with the SK definition obv) 20:38:25 Right, ```SII``SII has no normal form 20:39:12 Are there any good alternatives to Liquid war> 20:39:16 i mean that's like having a function where having so-and-so low order trits in the input means derp uncomputable 20:39:28 Or has the OSS community decided that since the project exists, there's no need to make a better one? 20:41:22 Bike, I don't think there is anything wrong with that 20:41:29 what 20:41:31 ? 20:41:53 Having those low-order trits means the expression is uncomputable 20:42:13 oh. yeah sure. i'm sort of thinking to myself in three different formalisms at once because i'm stupid 20:42:27 Heh, all right 20:43:24 I suppose I could do with tritstrings, but it would be very cool to reduce it to bitstrings (without simply encoding trits to bits, like ` = 00, S = 01, and K = 10) 20:43:57 Because then what do you do with 11? It seems odd to have one undefined encoding 20:46:28 would something as stupid as taking a three-combinator basis instead work 20:47:07 Lol, yes but a one-combinator basis would be better than either 2 or 3 20:47:20 Maybe not "better", but "simpler" in my mind 20:47:47 no i mean, if you had a three combinator basis you could encode it as a bitstring and get a 1-combinator thing out of that? i think? 20:48:15 I'm not sure if I follow that 20:48:58 3-combinator basis like SKI? Plus application ` is 4? So that 00 to 11 have meaning? 20:50:16 -!- aloril has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds). 20:51:18 -!- epicmonkey has joined. 20:51:41 i mean, encode SKI` as a bitstring, then find a way to treat 0 and 1 as combinators 20:51:44 i dunno if that works. 20:52:38 BCL? Iota/Jot? 20:52:49 scroll up 20:53:18 Okay 20:53:20 well maybe BCL 20:53:39 BCL simply encodes lambda expressions, but individual 1s and 0s don't mean anything 20:54:01 and individual* 20:54:22 elliott: olsner: Also how about an #esoteric meetup at Alternative Party instead? It's smaller. (Also sillier.) 20:54:41 fizzie: what/when/where is that? 20:55:10 olsner: It's here in October 18th-to-20th. 20:55:11 It would be cool if each 1 and 0 was a combinator, and the output is the normal form 20:55:17 Chris__: what do you mean by "don't mean anything" 20:55:43 There's approximately zero information about this year's event, except that there'll be one. 20:56:00 in BLC, I believe abstraction is 00, application is 01, and an index n is 1^n0. A 0 by itself isn't any of those 3 things 20:56:37 (They stopped organizing it last year because they thought it was getting far too mainstream; instead, they focused on more alternative things; turns out, though, that if they're alternative enough, no-one's going to attend, and then you don't have anyone pay the bills.) 20:56:43 actually it's this thing http://esolangs.org/wiki/Binary_combinatory_logic 20:56:55 which is pretty much encoded ski i guess 20:57:05 "Alternative Party is one of the largest demo parties in Finland." according to wikipedia 20:57:33 but i mean, what you're talking about there is just your interpretation, why can't there be another one? 20:57:38 olsner: Well, that's not saying all that much; everything's that not Assembly is tiny compared to that. 20:57:51 olsner: It's a proper (non-gaming) party, though. 20:58:27 Bike, yeah that is almost exactly what I'm looking for, but such that S and K are replaced by one combinator 20:58:50 olsner: You can peruse the archive at http://ry.altparty.org/action/ -- you can scroll down a bit to find the 2002-2011 pages. 21:00:09 olsner: (Though it's somewhat likely this year's event will be something rather different.) 21:00:12 Chris__: see, you're putting interpretations on it 21:00:37 Bike, I was thinking instead of SK`, use X`. The only thing I don't know is how to reduce expressions of the X combinator without introducing S and K. 21:01:06 fizzie: still sounds a bit scary!! 21:01:11 maybe if Bike there is to comfortingly kidnap me. 21:03:47 -!- aloril has joined. 21:07:44 "finish=30756.4min" best initial raid-1 resync ever.

22:58:31 what's CReal? 22:58:36 I don't think you can get faster than length . show really, except for micro-optimisations 22:58:38 computable real 22:58:39 olsner: computable real 22:59:39 how's showIntAtBase work? just repeated division i imagine 22:59:52 divmod ad infinitum 22:59:59 obviously you can skip the mod part. 23:01:06 right 23:01:38 it sounds like you'd end up with some extra work that could be avoidable if you only want the length 23:01:45 yeah, that's the mod part 23:02:03 > let digits 0 = 0; digits n = 1 + digits (n `div` 10) in digits 1234 23:02:04 4 23:02:35 i guess i'll try it with the largest b^n that fits in an immediate and laugh myself to sleep 23:02:59 an immediate? 23:03:42 i forget haskell words. not a bignum 23:04:27 Fiora: are there any fancy CPU tricks you can do to optimise (binary) digit counting? 23:04:40 since I guess the only real gains you'll get here are low level 23:04:52 though I guess counting up powers of 2 is asymptotically faster than repeated integer division? 23:04:54 well it's basically clz. 23:05:16 well, I was thinking for arbitrary size integers. but I guess it's repr-dependent 23:05:38 don't most bignums keep a size? if so it's pretty easy 23:06:33 this bignum is 372 64-bit words plus a head word with clz 19, so it has 23853 bits 23:06:45 clz~ 23:06:49 well, that's boring, so let's say it doesn't keep a size. 23:07:00 just "one bit is 0 if it's the end and 1 if it's not" or whatever. 23:07:35 but it has to keep track of like, memory allocation and stuff, right? 23:07:38 for bignums 23:07:39 guess you just have to traverse them all then 23:07:41 imo sucks. 23:08:06 Fiora: well, you could just malloc it and then the data you'd need to cheat is hidden in the libc, I guess 23:08:17 my mission: to make people's lives difficult 23:08:34 I guess you'd just clz them anyway or whatever. 23:08:38 or wait, not even that. 23:08:40 elliott: so i have my own instance of lambdabot going. so to get around the mueval time out by just adding -t 3000 on the mueval line in ./src/Lambdabot/Config/Core.hs. is that kosher? 23:08:41 okay it's boring 23:08:51 clz is fun! 23:09:09 ok new "exciting question" for elliott: find the digit count of a number, but the number is in modular residue format. 23:09:16 modular residue? 23:09:33 instead of storing the number you store it mod 2, mod 3, mod 5, mod 7 ad infinitium 23:09:47 `slist 23:09:49 slist: Taneb atriq Ngevd Fiora nortti Sgeo ThatOtherPerson alot 23:10:07 elliott: i mean it worked, but is that the "proper" way to do it? 23:10:12 e.g. 17 is [1,2,2,3]. 23:11:09 CADD: that sounds like an old version of lambdabot. 23:11:27 really? i have 4.3? 23:11:35 @version 23:11:35 lambdabot 5.0 23:11:35 git clone git://github.com/mokus0/lambdabot.git 23:11:37 ah 23:11:38 ty 23:11:45 anyway it sounds fine 23:11:54 cool, thanks! and thanks for the awesome bot! 23:12:12 I didn't write it, I just run it :P 23:12:19 Fiora: (this lets you represent any number up to the product of the modularssss by the chinese remainder theorem, aka the worst named theorem i can think of) 23:12:22 oh, either way! 23:12:37 Bike: oooh. that's sneaky 23:12:54 you can do multiplication and addition pretty easy since those commute with mod 23:20:50 my control key keeps holding itself down 23:20:56 help. 23:21:38 that's what you get for not answering my randomly posed questions 23:30:49 -!- Nisstyre-laptop has joined. 23:35:10 Bike: help 23:35:43 hi 23:35:58 what is the problem sir and/or ma'am and/or other appropriate honorific 23:43:19 Convert the number to radixal format hth 23:50:15 -!- Bike_ has joined. 23:52:40 -!- Bike has quit (Disconnected by services). 23:52:42 -!- Bike_ has changed nick to Bike. 23:53:31 -!- Jafet1 has joined. 23:53:39 -!- Jafet has quit (Disconnected by services). 23:53:41 -!- Jafet1 has changed nick to Jafet. 23:55:20 Bike: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.28.6593&rep=rep1&type=pdf hth 23:55:40 (one of my favorite complexity results) 23:56:26 why is this written like a news story 23:56:28 but thanks 23:57:29 well, it sort of is 2013-08-05: 00:00:39 hmph http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.28.6593 is the summary page but the abstract is clearly broken. 00:01:43 “the following theorem shows that there is little hope of finding a substantially better method, since the range of a modular number depends essentially on all bits of all the residues (u_i, ..., u_r)” 00:02:47 (knuth then writes the theorem, which is too trivial to copy here) 00:03:24 -!- Jafet has quit (Read error: Connection timed out). 00:04:07 -!- azaq23 has quit (Quit: Leaving.). 00:04:13 -!- Jafet has joined. 00:19:16 -!- yorick has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 00:21:13 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: leaving). 00:32:55 -!- Jafet has quit (Quit: Leaving.). 00:39:44 -!- tertu has joined. 00:45:30 -!- tertu has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds). 00:45:53 -!- tertu has joined. 00:50:34 -!- tertu has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds). 00:59:52 -!- NihilistDandy has joined. 01:01:25 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 01:01:57 -!- augur has joined. 01:03:53 -!- augur_ has joined. 01:07:36 -!- augur has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds). 01:22:49 -!- Nisstyre has quit (Quit: Leaving). 01:27:13 -!- augur_ has changed nick to augur. 01:28:29 -!- copumpkin has joined. 01:28:35 -!- copumpkin has quit (Changing host). 01:28:35 -!- copumpkin has joined. 02:02:13 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 02:21:21 oh, hey. the division result actually uses chinese remainder. how about that 02:27:12 -!- Nisstyre-laptop has changed nick to Nisstyre. 02:32:34 "Actor Peter Capaldi has been announced as the new star of BBC sci-fi series Doctor Who...

06:51:18 ????? 06:51:54 I think there are almost 50 people within distance 2 of me, so I'm pretty sure I'm in the strong set 06:52:54 Are you using a loose or traditional definition of what constitutes sex 06:53:29 a reasonably strict definition i think 06:53:40 that's only everybody having like seven partners, doesn't seem too implausible? 06:53:41 hard to be too traditional without also being heteronormative 06:53:59 hmm 06:54:16 I think I'm near some cycles, could be wrong though; don't tend to actually talk about it a lot 06:54:19 For males there's a fairly traditional same-sex sex definition as well 06:54:43 It's when you have only women that it gets tricky 06:54:56 Deewiant: whichcan easily be extended to male-female yet usually is not 06:54:58 wow, i had this exact conversation in high school. 06:55:02 laughed my ass off then too 06:55:36 coppro: Well there's already a traditional definition there 06:55:54 and then got into a conversation about whether talking about talking about [..recursion..] sex was as dirty as talking about [..recursion..] sex. have all my conversations in life been prep for this channel 06:56:01 I'm just observing that there is different standard there 06:56:22 sex isn't dirty, hth 06:56:27 especially when you consider those who do not engage in extramarital copulation, but will do basically anything else 06:56:38 are there lots of these people 06:56:41 Traditionally (and still typically AFAIK) the more traditional stuff happens first so you don't need to worry about whether the extension counts 06:56:54 kmc: as a virgin in high school roughly everything is dirty 06:56:54 kmc: I do not know how many, but they do exist 06:57:19 Bike: that means you were being a virgin wrong 06:57:33 i don't know what that means 06:57:56 * kmc is amused by Deewiant's traditional ordering 06:58:16 Deewiant: indeed, but what of my example? 06:59:08 coppro: Well they're an exception 06:59:25 I don't know how common of a one 06:59:39 sexologists on the case 06:59:54 -!- Taneb has quit (Quit: Leaving). 07:00:23 Especially traditionally, they could be a more modern phenomenon (but I suspect not) 07:00:32 I think the proper response is along the lines of "anyone who debates over whether sex has to involve a penis probably has really really boring sex" 07:00:42 <3 07:01:39 kmc's all "yeah duh, you need at least four" 07:01:44 haha 07:02:00 XD 07:02:33 Just trying to infer kmc's 'reasonably strict definition' 07:03:49 look there is some cocksucking involved 07:03:52 not gonna lie 07:04:05 But does that alone count? 07:04:30 I was assuming it doesn't since that'd be somewhat looser a definition than is traditional 07:05:19 I'm counting it 07:05:48 That's pretty loose then I guess 07:05:53 I think if afterward all parties agree "we had sex" then I think it should count 07:06:16 But then the same act doesn't count depending on who you did it with 07:07:22 you're sociologists. that's usual 07:07:39 Meh 07:08:06 Oh well, I guess the graphs are interesting whether they're based on subjective or objective definitions 07:08:10 look you're not going to axiomatize sex 07:08:18 i will personally try to stop you 07:08:30 kmc's incompleteness theorems 07:09:57 kmc: You wouldn't accept it if somebody wrote "in the following graph, 'having sex' is taken to mean [...]"?

Each Crown dependency has responsibility for its own customs and immigration services. 18:49:16 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNu8XDBSn10 18:49:19 man i remember when i went through learning this, and i found out that literally the official criterion for "is a state" is "other states call it a state" 18:49:20 I think I'm just going to cry 18:49:23 and just kind of laughed and gave up 18:49:34 Bike: what's wrong with that criterion 18:49:40 yeah 18:49:43 nothing really, it works very well 18:49:49 Roujo: I think I've watched that and it doesn't actually explain these fiddly bits 18:49:54 international law is really just made up as you go 18:49:55 except for occasional outliers like thailand or kosovo 18:49:56 also all other law 18:49:59 like I thought I had a pretty good grasp on what all the things in the UK and stuff were 18:50:04 but international law is newer and so this is more obvious, or something 18:50:06 elliott: It might not. I was just hoping it helped =) 18:50:08 kmc: yeah but this was before i understood that. it was, like, a revelation, man. 18:50:09 but then PH was all "what about the Crown dependencies" 18:50:13 yeah it is a revelation 18:50:19 and then I was all "help" 18:50:20 elliott: wasn't that me 18:50:29 uh, maybe both? 18:50:35 p. sure i remember a conversation like that 18:50:38 kmc: it was like "wow this makes no sense. that makes so much sense" 18:50:42 maybe 18:51:02 "The Crown dependencies, together with the United Kingdom, are collectively known as the British Islands." I like how "British Islands" is a different thing to "British Isles" oh my god 18:51:14 perhaps it's part of the more general revelation of "adults don't actually know what they're doing" 18:51:20 yes 18:51:31 "While their constitutional status bears some resemblance to that of the Commonwealth realms, the Crown dependencies are not members of the Commonwealth of Nations. They participate in the Commonwealth of Nations by virtue of their relationship with the United Kingdom, and participate in various Commonwealth institutions in their own right.

I'm so happy I'm not just telling you, but also the PLT. Hope this helps, have a good day! 21:42:50 programming language theory? 21:42:52 If you have long strings and then you will line up in columns, make something like: x=printf(...); while(x++<20) putchar(' '); It is one way. 21:43:26 Something like printf("%d%n", somenumber, moo); for(i=0;i<(something-moo);i++) putChar(' '); 21:43:45 Actually, you need to dereference the moo 21:43:48 But you get the idea 21:44:09 zzo38: well in this imaginary situation you want to print something on the same line as x after the beginning of the columsn. 21:44:29 printf already returns the length though, and if it is just something simple like %d then you can still use the left-align format code for it 21:45:02 Unix people using columns to create tables, HTML people using tables to create columns 21:45:06 All madness, all of it 21:45:08 yeah but you'd need to break it into two calls. x = printf(...); printf(...); while (x++ <20) ... 21:45:21 not that this is very good or anything. 21:45:27 zzo38: %n can be in the middle of the printed string though 21:45:33 Bike: I don't know what's the point of doing that, though. 21:45:50 convolutedly justifying %n 21:46:21 FreeFull: Yes it can, but such thing doesn't seem very useful. Even then, you can use multiple printf statements. Maybe some programs use %n but I don't use it. 21:46:41 It is what I suggest adding two new format codes, which can help. 21:47:50 I suggest looking for %n in the linux source coude 21:47:52 code* 21:48:53 -!- epicmonkey has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 21:51:54 -!- kallisti has joined. 21:52:46 FreeFull: yeah Kees Cook carries around a thumbdrive with partitions with names like "%99999n" 21:52:50 it will crash a lot of machines 21:52:58 (not necessarily in the kernel, but in all the gnome bullshit that looks at new disks, etc) 21:53:29 Why should you use the partition name as a format string?

And it says "what appears to be a system for submitting papers" so is it a system for submitting papers or not? 19:32:41 Once the contest is finished, a few teams will be asked to submit two page document describing their solutions to be considered for the judges prize. 19:33:00 There's a system which was designed for submitting papers but instead it's used for registering your team for the contest. 19:36:09 shachaf: do you have something like a team to register yourself with? 19:36:10 -!- katla has quit (Quit: Leaving). 19:36:21 You need a team? 19:36:33 I've just registered as an individual 19:36:42 It's teams or individuals 19:36:54 olsner: Me?

As has happened to me before. 22:18:05 elliott: one time at a party a friend and i swapped ircs for the hell of it 22:18:32 also i'm actually unsure of what i would use a credit card for 22:19:20 Running up massive quantities of debt? 22:19:28 i guess if i wanted to pay for something before i had a paycheck? 22:20:20 Well, depending on the card you can get little niceties like cash back on certain transactions or whatever. 22:22:57 -!- Bike_ has joined. 22:24:35 -!- Bike has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds). 22:25:32 -!- Bike_ has quit (Client Quit). 22:25:50 -!- Bike has joined. 22:26:51 -!- Nisstyre has quit (Quit: Leaving). 22:29:20 so, this is cool. if i call a number on the landline the internet cuts out, but if i call on my cellphone - which, out here, uses the wi-fi - internet's fine. 22:29:24 is it possible i'm in robot hell? 22:30:08 Bike: did you get those dsl thingies 22:30:57 no 22:31:08 do you really not have filters on your phone sockets? 22:31:15 those come with the modem I think 22:31:49 i think i'm just o bad with computers.. so bad. in twenty years i'm going to be like the CS professor who doesn't know what version control is 22:32:40 Bike: imo get the filters 22:32:47 otherwise you might get internet cancer 22:32:50 i'm moving out this week. 22:32:52 (well you get that anyway) 22:32:54 Oh. 22:32:56 To CA? 22:33:07 Northern CA.

(# s, (# s, a #) -># b #)" thing 23:16:40 haha 23:16:41 yeah 23:16:42 way ahead of you shachaf 23:16:50 people brought that up in #rust actually 23:16:50 I was wondering if Rust had anything corresponding to -># I think 23:16:54 yes 23:17:01 extern "Rust" fn(x: int) -> char 23:17:06 ew (but okay) 23:17:13 is guaranteed to have no free variables and is represented by a raw code pointer 23:17:18 (but not with the C calling convention) 23:17:29 it uses the \rainbow{Rust calling convention!} 23:17:42 how are closures represented with this anyhow 23:17:56 elliott: you mean way behind hth 23:18:05 I don't know exactly how closures are represented in Rust 23:18:11 way ahind of you shalliott 23:18:51 you can have @fn (managed box with free variables in it) and &fn (borrowed pointer to somebody else's box of free variables) 23:19:00 ok next pointless question, do things that are usually uh stack-allocated (like fixnums) implement Copy 23:19:11 if you call a function and use a lambda expression for one of the args, then that'll stack-allocate free variables and pass an &fn, I think 23:19:17 in particular I'm broadly interested in a languages where you actually construct closures with that existential construction 23:19:27 i like how awodey always calls his category C and an object in that category C 23:19:49 and where the notion of references is advanced enough to allow denoting read/write access to variables in the context as elements of that tuple 23:19:59 and I guess there's also ~fn, where the function is uniquely owned and so are all its free variables 23:20:08 elliott: any chance you could walk me through that type signature 23:20:09 that's what the task-spawning function takes 23:20:49 (sort of a pet vapourware project of mine -- a functional language with things like linear types and this -># thing etc. that has full memory control (and no automatic hidden allocation or GC, etc.) but still has all the goodies like higher-order functions, without requiring turning everything into a pointer or closure etc.) 23:20:59 (I think it overlaps heavily with Rust, but I started thinking about it before I knew of Rust) 23:21:11 yeah that sounds similar 23:21:38 Bike: the one with a lot of #s? 23:22:01 yeah 23:22:04 Bike: (# a, b #) is an unboxed tuple of a and b, i.e. (# a, b #) -> c literally just takes "two arguments", there's no pointers allocated etc. in the construction of the unboxed tuple 23:22:16 right 23:22:24 Bike: (exists s. ...) is ... with a hidden type "s" that the user of the value doesn't know what it is -- the person who constructs the value chooses it 23:22:34 (doesn't exist with that syntax in Haskell but you can construct the same thing) 23:22:40 is s the free variables? 23:22:44 also there's ~once fn which is only called once, so after it's been called you get the owned free variables back???? tbh dont understand this one 23:22:44 right, it binds s 23:22:50 (a -># b) doesn't exist, but it's basically a raw function pointer from a to b 23:22:58 ahem FunPtr a b 23:23:02 like, say the syntax is (\# x -> ...) :: (a -># b) 23:23:09 in ..., you can't use any variables in the context 23:23:09 er is it FunPtr (a -> b) w/e 23:23:10 ok i was just missing what s was, i think, thanks 23:23:13 because you can't in C 23:23:23 so let's say you wanted to do 23:23:30 foo :: Int -> (Int -> Int) 23:24:09 foo = (# (), (\# ((), m) -> (# m, (\# (m', n) -> m' + n ) #) ) #) 23:24:17 this is hideously ugly but hopefully you can see what's going on 23:24:23 inside the inner \# you couldn't reference m 23:24:27 you can to explicitly close over it 23:24:30 the corresponding C structure is 23:24:43 struct closure { void *data; B code(void *data, A param); }, basically 23:24:47 Yes it is sensible to me. 23:24:55 where you do closure->code(closure->data, param) to call it 23:24:58 that is really fucking ugly 23:25:01 just you get fancy type magic here 23:25:16 but yeah that makes sense, i'm used to closure = raw ptr + some vector 23:25:23 Bike: well then what you do is you introduce (\x -> ...) as sugar for (# closure, \# (# closure, x #) -> ... #) 23:25:28 where closure is all the local variables you use in ... 23:26:00 right, right 23:26:18 in kernel magic idea i should really work on i was thinking of having $vau work like that 23:26:37 also has the convenience that the "raw pointer" is obviou 23:26:37 s 23:27:10 i think you could do lambda lifting pretty nicely that way 23:29:04 that is, uh, you make (\x -> ...) just (\x -># ...) when possible, obviously. 23:35:07 -!- Sgeo has joined. 23:36:44 -!- KingOfKarlsruhe has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.90.1 [Firefox 22.0/20130618035212]). 23:37:27 kmc: Bike: in particular, I think it would be cool to have a non-existential version of this 23:37:32 where the "s" is actually part of the type 23:37:41 elliott: oh re graphix libraries, look at https://github.com/mozilla/servo/tree/master/src#supporting-libraries 23:37:43 yeah that could be nice 23:38:01 like (Int ->{a :: Int, b :rw: Int} String) 23:38:13 so that closes over two things, read-only Int a and read-write Int b 23:38:20 and at runtime it'll look like e.g. 23:38:22 so if you had a function that took a thing-that-closes-over-1-Int you could vector pass the number and the ptr in some situations, or something 23:38:37 struct this_closure { int a; int *b; string (*foo)(int a, int *b, int param); } 23:38:39 elliott: I think azure calls skia and skia calls opengles??? 23:38:41 don't know why 23:38:49 kmc: will look after finishing rambling 23:38:59 anyway the idea then that higher-order functions would be written *polymorphic* to this closure part 23:39:17 so that things don't necessarily have to get bundled up in a closure to be passed higher-order at all 23:39:19 mostly i got irrationally annoyed once i realized after far too long that "returning a closure" allocated memory same as actual alloc calls, but looks exactly like returning a bare function 23:39:24 and you can have control structures that you know get all inlined out and stuff 23:39:28 (skipping even the need for a funptr) 23:39:46 this sort of stuff is similar to C++ lambdas I think with the kind of control you get 23:39:49 "eventually just optimize everything into IMUL cals" 23:40:18 basically my hidden motivation here is that I want something that looks like Haskell but you can also e.g. write a memory manager to run on the bare metal with 23:40:30 (a strongly-typed memory manager) 23:40:33 that's the opposite of hidden. 23:40:48 well, I just told you. 23:40:52 so now it's no longer hidden 23:40:55 no i mean, it was obvious before. 23:41:11 btw are we getting "mad hintz" of @ here 23:42:20 I would use this kind of stuff in @ yes, but actually it's a bit less vapourware than @ 23:42:21 the other thing that would be nice is if you could use this as a jit, which moves me into full no idea what i'm talking about territory 23:42:33 in that I can imagine trying to implement it if I got a good enough grip on the design and the design looks vaguely grippable 23:42:50 what is a hidiom 23:43:11 Bike: though the language I'd want for @ would be basically fully dependently-typed. this thing is only kind of dependently-typed. 23:43:35 elliott: er isn't everything you've said so far independent of dependent types? 23:43:43 yes 23:43:55 then i mean... why say that. 23:44:01 well you asked about mad hintz of @. 23:44:08 the sorta dependent types come in when describing memory layout, in this language. 23:44:18 "though the language i'd want for @ would have full complex arithmetic. this thing doesn't have any complex arithmetic" 23:44:22 haha 23:44:27 wait, memory layout? how? 23:44:39 Bike: well uh 23:45:01 man i'm so bad at PLT, i still don't get how dependent types are different from like, integral range types 23:45:06 I should start reporting bugs against Pharo 23:45:08 Bike: do you know the kind of bullshit structure layouts you get in OSes and networking 23:45:11 and when i say "PLT" i mean "anything in this channel". 23:45:12 -!- yorick has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 23:45:15 elliott: kinda. 23:45:29 There are just so many bugs :( 23:45:41 like addrinfo? 23:45:55 Bike: ok well take a look at the second and third pictures here http://wiki.osdev.org/Global_Descriptor_Table#Structure 23:46:03 note how base and limit are like 23:46:08 sprawled across multiple words 23:46:12 in random order 23:46:34 oh. yeah. fuck those 23:46:36 and this is awful to deal with because you have to do the bitpacking yourself etc. 23:46:47 so I'd like a way to first specify precise bit alignments etc. of structures 23:47:00 and then say "there's a base field made by bitpacking these other precisely-sized smaller-than-word fields together" 23:47:05 and then just use that everywhere. 23:47:21 what does that have to do with dependent types 23:47:24 and then I also want to be able to e.g. represent a TCP packet directly as a structure within the language, with the correct in-memory layout 23:47:28 Bike: I'm gettting theeeeeeeeeeere 23:47:51 so uh you know how ADTs are generally represented with a tag word 23:47:51 like 23:47:55 data Maybe a = Nothing | Just a 23:47:59 you store a word for whether it's Nothing or Just 23:48:00 yeah 23:48:08 ok i didn't know it was a whole word though? 23:48:12 well, details 23:48:18 actually GHC does it a bit different It hink but w/e 23:48:27 and that kind of thing also comes up explicitly in a lot of protocoly type stuff 23:48:35 like "if this flag is this then it has this layout otherwise it has another"? 23:48:40 oh. yeah, i see. 23:48:43 so I'd like to be able to say (syntax made up on the spot) 23:48:57 struct Maybe A { enum { Nothing, Just } tag; switch (tag) { Nothing: ; Just: A value; } } 23:49:17 and then the sorta-dependent-typing is the rest of the structure type depending on the value of the tag. 23:49:44 that's... uh. 23:49:44 then you could do things like switch on tag, and if it's Just you can access .value safety, but if not you can't access .value (without explicitly marking it as an unsafe access, perhaps) 23:49:58 the point is that this generalises to other stuff 23:50:04 where it's not as simple as just one tag value 23:50:12 (obviously you can build sugar for the common ADT-y case on top of this) 23:50:15 yeah i'm imagining some weird ass "switch"es here 23:50:23 the point is that the existence of a tag word in memory is explicitly represented in the language 23:50:35 because the idea is not to hide anything about the memory layout 23:50:58 hm, well, doesn't that possibly inhibit optimizations that work by eliding the tag word when possible? 23:51:34 I'd say it more enables you to make optimisations by not having a tag word in the first place 23:51:40 or packing the tag word as bits in another part etc. 23:51:49 and e.g. avoiding casing on the tag for data shared between all variants of a struct 23:51:58 more broadly, optimisations that change in-memory layout aren't appropriate for something like an OS 23:52:02 (most of the time) 23:52:08 granted. 23:52:28 (though I think this language would also apply nicely to game development and similar things, with the GC-less nature) 23:52:48 i was thinking of i dunno, \x -> let fn = ... in case x of Nothing -> foo; Just _ -> fn x where it can obviously be seen that fn will always get a Just 23:53:10 right, I guses 23:53:20 but yeah i can see why you wouldn't want that in an OS 23:53:28 though an example that isn't a bad idea would help (since what is fn Nothing going to be? you could just pass the value inside the Just) 23:53:45 off the top of my head and i'm bad at programming, sorry~ 23:53:50 but also I don't think compilers generally do this kind of optimisation in practice, so losing it doesn't seem like such a big deal 23:56:32 kmc: Rust does something similar with forcing you to case to use things safely, right?

are there any other names 02:39:39 see previous message 02:39:42 Bike "Ike" Bicycle 02:39:51 or is it Ike "Bike" Bicycle 02:39:54 bike stories are a non-scarce resource 02:40:46 it's Ike "Bike" Sumayang actually 02:43:36 close enough 02:43:37 -!- mnoqy has quit (Quit: hello). 02:43:43 bye mnoqy 02:43:57 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 oh that sounds pretty great (depending on weight and stuff), what model is that?

so I guess it's just a question of how much shipping would cost 02:50:09 ummm let me see if there's any UK resellers 02:50:16 or if they'd ship at all I guess 02:50:27 http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/91510-clevo-guide-v2-0-faq-reseller-info.html 02:50:37 there's UK resellers 02:50:41 oh it's also a clevo thingy? 02:50:48 sager is clevo basically <.< 02:50:53 they're two different brands for the same thing 02:50:53 the system76 one shachaf linked me was clevo too 02:51:08 they're all clevo 02:51:13 isn't it more like, clevo sell laptops to people who then brand them? 02:51:23 sager is clevo's gamer/performance brand, I think? 02:51:36 Sager laptops are manufactured by Clevo which are also sold under many other brand names. Sager is the biggest Clevo retailer. 02:51:46 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sager_Notebook_Computers ) 02:52:03 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 "5.)

Is there a doctor that can help me? :) 10:45:41 If they are a doctor of esoteric programming, then maybe. 10:46:34 ok, gonna go, have a nice day 10:47:04 OK 10:47:11 -!- plugnburn has left. 11:02:52 -!- katla has joined. 11:04:11 JSON or s-expressions?

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 i don't actually type letters on my android phone, i use the swipey thing 16:21:00 which i think would work fine for an adventure game... 16:21:22 Swipe, swipe, swipe the monsters 16:21:31 Swiftly out of the screeeeeeeen 16:22:31 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 you could have virtual buttons, like all the game machine emulators 16:24:43 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 why's it have to be part of the keyboard? 16:25:46 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 At least, that is what I would think it would be. 16:27:08 Do you think it would be otherwise? 16:27:16 i'd go crazy trying to play interactive fiction games on my phone 16:28:37 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 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. 16:31:13 -!- Lumpio- has joined. 16:36:53 Current version of the 'postgresql' metapackage (it depends on the supported PostgreSQL version, currently 9.1) in debian-unstable: "9.3+142really9.1+146". 16:39:07 -!- Lumpio- has quit (Quit: splut sprellas). 16:40:30 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: Later). 16:40:37 Well that's nice 16:40:55 -!- jconn has joined. 16:42:41 fizzie: Why 16:43:11 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 apt doesn't have anything like an epoch? 16:44:52 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 Deewiant: It does; that'd be something like 1:9.1+146, which, admittedly, would look nicer. 16:46:04 (If there's no colon, the epoch is zero.) 16:46:37 shachaf, yes?? 16:46:38 -!- copumpkin has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 16:46:48 Maybe they're planning to make 9.3 the supported version in unstable/testing anyway soon-enough, and didn't want to bump up the epoch.

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 "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 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 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. 17:28:36 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 17:30:06 -!- Bike has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds). 17:31:36 -!- Bike has joined. 17:31:56 -!- ka7la has joined. 17:34:19 -!- katla has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds). 17:40:07 -!- ka7la has changed nick to katla. 17:42:57 Bleh, this thing has the thing where altgr-space generates U+00a0 (a non-break space), and I keep typing it after every | because | here comes from altgr-[the key with <, > and |] and then it's all "bash: $'\302\240less': command not found". 17:43:57 Where "the thing" = xkb_symbols configuration. 17:44:23 fizzie: ...disable it 17:45:35 fizzie: finnish keyboard layout? 17:47:41 Deewiant: Do you happen to know if I can easily setxkbmap it dead?

BB(1000) is a computable number, as it is an integer. this particular representation of it might be impossible to evaluate, but that is irrelevant. 05:24:16 <Bike> take all my fun why doncha 05:24:30 <madbr> oklopol : "dense" ? 05:25:08 <Bike> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dense_set doot 05:25:55 <comex> so just pack BB(n) in order into a real 05:25:57 <Bike> Since any real has a rational of any distance you want by it. 05:26:38 <madbr> mhm 05:26:48 <Bike> So for any real we can construct a sequence etc etc converges to etc etc etc and so on etc 05:27:09 <madbr> which means that... yeah if you can get an approximation 05:27:29 <Bike> computables are also dense, so, bla bla analogy etc left as an exercise etc bla blatc 05:27:30 <madbr> but that's a contradiction 05:27:35 <Bike> What? 05:27:52 <madbr> hmm 05:27:59 <madbr> or I might be wrong 05:28:23 <madbr> but I have this intuition that sequences approaching a given limit are countable 05:28:37 -!- copumpkin has quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds). 05:28:42 <Bike> That the set of all sequences approaching a given limit is countable 05:28:43 <Bike> *? 05:29:06 -!- copumpkin has joined. 05:29:22 <madbr> hm 05:29:39 <madbr> the set of all countable sequences approaching a given limit 05:29:44 <madbr> uh 05:29:49 <Bike> Because that's not the case. Take any sequence approaching the limit that isn't bla bla, multiply it elementwise by some real, you get another sequence 05:29:51 <madbr> the set of all computable sequences approaching a given limit sorry 05:30:51 <elliott> nobody said the sequence had to be computable itself, though. 05:31:06 <Bike> admittedly i did intend that, but yeah. 05:32:57 <oklopol> by definition, they usually are 05:33:04 <oklopol> oh okay i was scrolled up 05:33:12 <comex> oh, duh 05:33:53 <madbr> because rationals are dense over reals, that meach every real must be reachable by successive iteration 05:34:42 <madbr> except for numbers involving non-computable parts, this means this successive iteration can be defined by a computer program 05:35:02 <madbr> computer programs are countable 05:35:39 <Bike> Computable numbers are countable, yes, but (countably) infinite sequences of members of a countable set are well, not. 05:36:14 -!- mnoqy has quit (Quit: hello). 05:36:36 <elliott> my proof: real numbers are iso to digit sequences, then think a lil 05:36:44 <oklopol> why did you say that the specker sequence is a nonexample? 05:37:00 <oklopol> well 05:37:09 <Bike> Because it's a sequence of computable numbers with an uncomputable limit? 05:37:42 <oklopol> i may have changed your question 05:37:59 <Bike> It wasn't a very good question. 05:39:02 <madbr> are there numbers that can't be computably successively approximated? 05:39:47 <Bike> well like oklopol said there's always a sequence of rationals or computables or whatever the hell. 05:40:14 <madbr> oh I see 05:40:14 <Bike> there are like, functions that aren't semicomputable, though? probably 05:40:18 <oklopol> if a single program needs to output the sequence though, this is more interesting 05:40:30 <Bike> yeah. 05:40:35 <madbr> I reread the specker sequence thing 05:41:19 <madbr> essentially some digits of the maximum of the sequence are uncomputable 05:41:44 <madbr> so the maximum of the sequence can't be successively approximated 05:41:49 <madbr> clever 05:49:14 <oklopol> if you do specker with a subset X of naturals, and you have a program that outputs a sequence of rationals that converges to it, then X is necessarily recursively enumerable, presumably by the proof in the specker article 05:49:57 <oklopol> so if you do specker with a set that is not recursively enumerable, then that number cannot be approximated by a computable sequence of rationals, in a somewhat interesting sense 05:52:00 <madbr> you sorta can't force it to converge 05:52:18 <madbr> interesting 05:52:42 <oklopol> well not sure i get your intuition there 05:53:14 <madbr> well, if you have a rule that you must always converge to at least distance N of the real number 05:53:26 <madbr> with N being divided by 2 on each step 05:53:41 <madbr> then a given step might loop infinitely of course 05:54:24 <oklopol> here, the property of a real a we are interested in is "is there a turing machine that, given n, outputs a rational r_n, such that r_1, r_2, ... converges to a" 05:55:13 <madbr> right 05:56:06 <oklopol> hmm 05:56:57 <oklopol> okay actually perhaps "is there a turing machine that, given n, outputs a rational r_n, such that r_1, r_2, ... converges to a, and |r_i - a| is decreasing" 05:57:17 <oklopol> because otherwise i don't know if X needs to be r.e. 05:57:49 <madbr> I was thinking of having the difference exponentially decreasing 05:58:30 <oklopol> well isn't the number computable then 05:58:43 <madbr> hm yes 05:59:22 <oklopol> i think mine is a weaker notion 06:00:30 <oklopol> there's a lot of literature on this stuff, but i haven't read any of it 06:01:44 <oklopol> actually on second thought i'm not sure even my latter definition works 06:02:07 <oklopol> or is that a third thought 06:03:48 <Bike> on nth thought, for some unknown n 06:07:06 <oklopol> ah okay i think r_i itself needs to be increasing: then you can tell n \in X when the nth digit flips to a 4, so X is r.e. 06:08:39 <elliott> oklopol: the definition I know is just forall m n, |r_m - r_n| <= m + n 06:08:44 <elliott> or am I talking nonsense 06:09:01 <oklopol> are you sure about the m+n? 06:09:08 <oklopol> you know less and less about the numbers? 06:09:24 -!- conehead has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds). 06:09:26 <elliott> well I looked it up in the paper I remember reading so as to look slightly less stupid. 06:09:43 <Bike> it's ok elliott, i'm here for you, to look stupidest. 06:09:49 <elliott> ok wait that wasn't the exact paper 06:09:51 <oklopol> elliott: i'm not trying to define computable numbers, i'm trying to define a larger class 06:09:55 <elliott> oh. 06:10:05 <elliott> thanks, now I know I'm talking nonsense 06:10:23 <Bike> The important question is, are these numbers Lyapunov stable 06:10:42 <oklopol> if in yours, you replace m+n by 1/(m+n), then that's computable numbers, since the nth approximation is at most 2/n away from the real 06:11:12 <oklopol> or i guess even 1/n away 06:11:35 <elliott> For example, I will represent the real numbers (see Definition 9.16 and 06:11:35 <elliott> Definition 11.1) by the type 06:11:36 <elliott> ∃f: Q+ ⇒ Q.∀ε1 ε2.|f(ε1) − f(ε2)| ≤ ε1 + ε2. 06:12:03 <elliott> I guess it's possible that roconnor made the exact same mistake in the definition in both his Ph.D. thesis and this other paper 06:12:15 <Bike> rookie mistake 06:12:33 <oklopol> are those epsilons natural numbers though? 06:12:34 <Bike> wait should i even ask how that's a type 06:12:36 <shachaf> Bike: did someone castle agaain 06:12:41 <elliott> it copied kind of badly 06:12:44 <Bike> yes 06:12:46 <elliott> oklopol: oh, I guess they're Q+ there. 06:12:49 <Bike> what's a castle 06:12:50 <elliott> so, sure. 06:12:55 <oklopol> looking at the type, that seems to work 06:13:10 <oklopol> idea is that given epsilon, f computes an epsilon approximation 06:13:18 <oklopol> for positive rational epsilon 06:13:22 <elliott> Bike: it's (f : Q+ -> Q, prf : forall e1 e2, abs (f e1 - f e2) <= e1 + e2) 06:13:34 <elliott> that ∃ is meant to be an \exists 06:13:44 <elliott> oh. 06:13:45 <elliott> it is. 06:13:49 <elliott> Windows just sucks. 06:15:15 <oklopol> i see them just fine 06:17:19 <madbr> I see... 06:17:26 <madbr> so it's like... 06:18:36 <oklopol> can i see the paper? 06:18:48 <madbr> - any real can be reached by the limit of an infinite series or rationals, since rationals are dense over reals 06:18:50 <oklopol> because i'm also wondering how that's a type 06:19:23 <madbr> - however that series can't converger exponentially or else the number would be computable (and thus, countable) 06:20:00 <Bike> i mean it's a type in that it defines a set of stuff but 06:20:31 <elliott> oklopol: http://r6.ca/thesis.rev.fluorine.pdf 06:20:32 <oklopol> it doesn't really define anything though, it's just a true statement about functions :P 06:20:37 <elliott> but I mean it's pretty standard? 06:20:40 <oklopol> but there might be something implicit going on 06:20:43 <elliott> it's a dependent tuple with a function and a proof object 06:20:47 <madbr> - which means that 'most' reals must be approached by a series that you can't determine if it converges or not 06:20:55 <elliott> where the proof object is a dependent function from two Q+s to a proof obejct that blah blah blah. 06:21:16 <madbr> (or at least doesn't converge exponentially) 06:21:48 <oklopol> madbr: the second one is slightly wrong, the series can converge as fast as you like... it's the enumerability by a turing machine that's important 06:22:19 <madbr> hm, true 06:22:45 <madbr> so it can't... converge exponentially in an enumerable way 06:23:21 -!- Bike_ has joined. 06:23:37 <oklopol> yes, or otherwise the number is computable (and thus, belongs to the countable set of computable numbers) 06:24:24 <madbr> so either it must converge exponentially in a non computable/enumerable way 06:24:38 -!- Bike has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 06:25:20 <madbr> or if you force your successive steps to be computable/enumerable, then it can't converge exponentially anymore? 06:25:30 -!- Bike_ has changed nick to Bike. 06:25:31 <oklopol> ah okay if you have an existentially quantified formula, then it's the type of values the existential quantifier can take 06:26:40 -!- CADD has joined. 06:27:02 <oklopol> madbr: something like that i guess. 06:28:28 <CADD> sooo... why arent there more people talking about egison?: http://egison.pira.jp/ 06:28:35 <elliott> oklopol: well uh, you have to bundle the proof object. 06:28:57 <elliott> a value of the type would look like (f, \e1 e2 -> ...proof of the <=...) 06:29:03 <oklopol> yeah but i consider that part of the logic we're working in 06:29:04 <elliott> given appropriate constructors for <= or whatever on Q. 06:29:10 <elliott> well, sure 06:29:10 -!- madbr has quit (Quit: Radiateur). 06:29:30 <elliott> but it isn't really like that in type theory, which is the point of the thesis. 06:29:37 <oklopol> okay 06:29:41 <elliott> like, proofs of (m <= n) aren't necessarily unique depending on how you define <=. 06:29:47 <elliott> so the proof term can be relevant. 06:30:08 <Bike> Algorithms are expressed intuitively and will be auto-parallelized with Egison!! 06:32:05 <oklopol> oklotalk-- did pattern matching of objects without normals forms too 06:32:24 <oklopol> Egison is the world's first programming language that makes pattern-matching with unfree data types practical. 06:32:40 <oklopol> okay perhaps that's different 06:32:43 <Bike> so, we can conclude that oklotalk-- wasn't real and youjust hallucinated 06:32:59 <elliott> I remember oklotalk-- 06:33:03 <oklopol> i wonder what's "practical" 06:33:05 <Bike> no you don't 06:33:20 <elliott> oklopol: remind me how oklotalk-- was great. I remember it being great 06:33:22 <elliott> @karma oklotalk 06:33:22 <lambdabot> oklotalk has a karma of -4 06:33:35 <oklopol> well it was great for example because it mixed static and dynamic scoping 06:33:48 <Bike> wow great. 06:33:55 <oklopol> every variable was first checked in the static scope, then the dynamic scope 06:34:01 <oklopol> how great is that?

I love the "spinning rust" expression, it's so disparaging. 12:43:48 <elliott> do I want 1 gigabyte of RAM and 20 GB of SSD or do I want 2 gigabytes of RAM and 30 GB of spinning rust? 12:43:52 <elliott> I guess the latter also has like twice the CPU. 12:44:05 <elliott> these prices were so much better when I thought 20 dollars was 20 pounds instead. 12:44:07 <oerjan> @tell Bike <Bike> Can you think of an uncomputable number that isn't the limit of a sequence of computable numbers? <-- not if the sequence itself can be uncomputable. after all every real number is a limit of a sequence of rationals. 12:44:07 <lambdabot> Consider it noted. 12:44:21 <elliott> oerjan: we went over thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis 12:44:25 <oerjan> OKAY 12:45:01 <oerjan> hm, in fact you can even define explicitly a unique sequence... 12:45:26 <elliott> alternatively do I want 32 gigabytes of RAM, 19.2 GHz (???) of CPU, and 1280 gigabytes of hard disk (241.40 EUR/mo), or the same but with 240 gigabytes of SSD (243.80 EUR/mo)? 12:45:36 <oerjan> just take your favorite ... oh wait, just take the continued fraction cutoffs. 12:45:55 <elliott> wait, that's pretty incredibly cheap. 12:46:20 <elliott> 32 gigabytes of RAM and eight cores and a terabyte of disk for two hundred pounds a month? 12:46:31 <elliott> would anyone like to give me some money. 12:47:10 <Jafet> I can give my two cents 12:47:11 <fizzie> Aw, the SSD slider doesn't go above 240 gigs. 12:47:41 <oerjan> elliott: here's a nickel, boy. buy yourself a better computer. 12:48:07 <elliott> fizzie: yes. that was my one disappointment from accidentally hitting "end" on the storage meter and then seeing what would happen if I did it to all the other sliders too. 12:48:19 <Jafet> The funny thing is that you can actually get a computer for a nickel these days 12:48:21 <fizzie> I think the 19.2 GHz is like 8*2.4 GHz. 12:48:31 <elliott> right. 12:48:34 <oerjan> Jafet: something embedded stuff? 12:48:35 <Roujo> Jafet: Well, you can get anything for a nickel, really 12:48:44 <Roujo> It just depends on the nickle 12:49:26 <fizzie> If you ask for 32 gigs of RAM, the CPU slider also doesn't go below 9.6 GHz. 12:50:00 <Roujo> That's a lot of hertz o0 12:50:21 <oerjan> presumably that's sum of cores? 12:50:26 <fizzie> Yes.

(If you mean "why not use GDDR5 also for system RAM instead of GPU only", and not "why not unified memory architectures".) 12:59:22 <elliott> fizzie: I think I mean both, though I can think of reasons for the latter quicker. 12:59:35 <elliott> surely there are lots of people willing to pay money for computers. 12:59:39 <Roujo> We should just put the processor in the cloud, really 12:59:46 <Roujo> Outsource your motherboard 13:00:11 -!- boily has joined. 13:00:14 -!- metasepia has joined. 13:00:30 <fizzie> elliott: I think you need something different in the memory controller for that, and Intel et al. might not be willing to cater for the presumably-not-too-large market willing to pay for GDDR5 RAM. (Or I could be talking out of my ass; I don't know about hardware.) 13:00:35 <Roujo> Although I guess the cloud would be too mainstream 13:00:37 <elliott> Roujo: they call that OnLive. 13:00:52 <Roujo> I store all my files in the water table 13:00:53 <elliott> fizzie: isn't that market, like, all gamery and overclocky type weirdos. 13:00:59 <elliott> those people have lots of money. 13:01:02 <Deewiant> fizzie: GDDR5 has worse latency 13:01:06 -!- ais523 has joined. 13:01:10 <elliott> thank you Deewiant, that sounds like a much more realistic reason. 13:01:11 <Roujo> It's like the clound, only more underground 13:01:18 <Roujo> cloud* 13:01:19 <ais523> whoops, wrong nick 13:01:22 -!- ais523 has changed nick to ais523_. 13:01:27 <ais523_> hi #esoteric, btw 13:01:31 <Roujo> Heya ais523_ 13:01:35 <elliott> Your Linode, solidity, has exceeded the notification threshold (1000) for disk io rate by averaging 1243.39 for the last 2 hours.

For more information, check out our wiki: http://esolangs.org/wiki/Main_Page. (For the other kind of esoterica, try #esoteric on irc.dal.net.) 13:02:05 <elliott> ais523_: I like your thesis. 13:02:05 <Deewiant> And DDR4 is coming out anyway so if you want better/more expensive desktop RAM you'll get it 13:02:11 <ais523_> something else came up when I was writing my research, which is incredibly minor and probably not worth mentioning in the research 13:02:22 <ais523_> but it's arguably an esoprogramming problem, and I'm having trouble seeing the trick needed to get the answer 13:03:19 <ais523_> let's see... it's very easy to write a regular expression (I'm talking mathematical regular expression here, not regexp) to match strings of the form "ababababababab" and so on 13:03:30 <ais523_> and likewise, it's very easy to write one for "cdcdcdcdcdcdcd" and so on 13:03:39 <ais523_> but I'm trying to write one that matches any interleaving of those strings 13:03:49 <ais523_> as in, if you look at just the a's and b's, the a's and b's alternate 13:03:56 <ais523_> and if you look at just the c's and d's, the c's and d's alternate 13:04:08 <ais523_> but there's no restriction on how the a's and c's can line up against each other, for instance 13:04:12 <boily> ais523_: long time no see! 13:04:20 <ais523_> so something like abacabdc is fine 13:04:48 <ais523_> in theory, it should be possible, because it's clearly quite easy to write an FSM to do that 13:04:54 <ais523_> and regular expressions and FSMs are equally powerful 13:04:56 <ais523_> I just can't see how 13:05:12 <Jafet> Alternatives, lots of alternatives 13:05:13 <Deewiant> Just write the FSM and convert it to a regex 13:06:41 <ais523_> hmm... the FSM is {from, input, to} {0,a,1},{0,c,2},{2,a,3},{1,c,3},{3,b,1},{3,d,2},{1,b,0},{2,c,0} 13:06:58 <ais523_> I'm not familiar with methods of regexifying those, though 13:07:26 <Deewiant> http://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/2016/how-to-convert-finite-automata-to-regular-expressions 13:07:39 <ais523_> thanks for the link 13:08:12 <ais523_> (I'm currently writing about models of hardware, and have concluded that delay-insensitive asynchronous circuits are regular expressions and synchronous circuits are recurrence relations) 13:08:41 <Taneb> Sounds fun 13:09:13 <fizzie> I remember a FSM-to-regular-expression conversion routine from the "intro to theoretical computer science" course. 13:09:25 <fizzie> It was all about merging edges and whatnot. 13:10:07 <fizzie> Presumably the same as the "state removal method" mentioned in Deewiant's link. 13:10:49 <Deewiant> It looks familiar so they're probably the same, yes. 13:12:10 <ais523_> so let's see... if I remove 3, we get {0,a,1},{0,c,2},{1,b,0},{2,c,0},{2,ab,2},{2,ad,1},{1,cb,2},{1,cd,1} 13:12:59 <ais523_> not quite, there are typos there, but I'll mentally correct them 13:13:00 <fizzie> ais523_: Are all your states final, or just the one that has both b and d last? 13:13:10 <ais523_> fizzie: they're all final 13:13:11 <Deewiant> Doing this by hand without drawing it is probably a good way of making mistakes and getting it a bit wrong 13:13:37 <fizzie> ais523_: In that case, I think you need to add epsilon edges from all to a dummy final state, since the algorithm only removes states that aren't final. 13:13:56 <fizzie> (Disclaimer: it might still work out in practice, in your case.) 13:14:02 <ais523_> fizzie: right; it actually doesn't really matter for my application 13:14:16 <ais523_> especially because I'm just curious as to what it looks like, more than anything else 13:15:24 <ais523_> then removing 2: {0,a,1},{1,b,0},{1,cd,1},{0,c(ab)*d,0},{0,c(ab)*ad,1},{1,cb(ab)*d,0},{1,cb(ab*)ad,1} 13:16:22 <ais523_> which is {0,c(ab)*d,0},{0,a+c(ab)*ad,1},{1,b+cb(ab)*d,0},{1,cd+cb(ab*)ad,1} 13:17:03 <elliott> Deewiant: so why is the PS4 using higher-latency RAM then? 13:17:48 <Jafet> Presumably they believe in caches 13:17:50 <ais523_> then finally, removing 0: (c(ab)*d+((a+c(ab)*ad)(cd+cb(ab)*ad)*(b+cb(ab)*d)))* 13:17:57 <fizzie> elliott: From what I recall about the PS4 seminar, their developers were really hankering for a unified memory architecture. Plus they were focused a lot on doing non-graphics ("compute shaders") stuff on the GPU. 13:18:13 <Jafet> That regular expression is smaller than I thought 13:18:14 <elliott> fair enough 13:18:17 <fizzie> elliott: (Parallelized GPU work is of course more about throughput than latencies.) 13:18:23 <ais523_> that's not in lowest terms, though 13:18:26 <ais523_> I think I can simplify it 13:18:52 <elliott> ais523_: that regular expression is basically what I was on the path to writing (very slowly) 13:19:01 <ais523_> then finally, removing 0: (c(ab)*d+((a+c(ab)*ad)(c(ba)*d)*(b+cb(ab)*d)))* 13:19:09 <ais523_> * (c(ab)*d+((a+c(ab)*ad)(c(ba)*d)*(b+cb(ab)*d)))* 13:19:13 <katla> what does it match 13:19:15 <elliott> ais523_: I just started writing out all the permutations in the knowledge that since {a,b,c,d} is finite, eventually there'll be a synchronisation point where you can just * the whole thing 13:19:19 <elliott> sort of thing 13:19:25 <elliott> but then you found a non-stupid way to do it before I could be bothered 13:19:32 <ais523_> katla: strings where a and b alternate (with potential c and d in between) and also c and d alternate (with potential a and b in between) 13:19:38 <Jafet> Shouldn't the expression be symmetrical 13:19:47 <ais523_> elliott: that's what I started doing but I ended up failing due to lack of a GOTO :( 13:19:53 <ais523_> Jafet: it is 13:19:57 <katla> hmm 13:20:00 <ais523_> just in a nonobvious way 13:20:10 <katla> eyeah you can just write an NFA for it 13:20:23 <ais523_> katla: that's what we just did in-channel 13:20:54 <ais523_> conclusion: state machines are a better model for asynchronous digital circuits than regular expressions 13:22:17 <ais523_> this must be why electronic engineers like them so much 13:22:24 <Jafet> You need less time to type regular expressions than to draw state machines though 13:22:38 <Jafet> Think about this as the paper deadline nears 13:23:44 <fizzie> On the third hand, you don't get to use a TeX package for drawing state machines. 13:24:05 <ais523_> Jafet: yeah, that's actually why I was using regular expressions so far 13:26:09 <Jafet> The simple regular expressions might also correspond to some interesting subset of circuits 13:26:27 <ais523_> does "simple" have a technical meaning here? 13:27:00 <ais523_> anyway, the reason why regular expressions are appropriate for this is that not only do these sorts of circuit (like most circuits) not produce certain outputs, they also refuse certain inputs 13:27:05 <ais523_> as in, those inputs can't be given to it 13:27:10 <boily> ~duck simple 13:27:10 <metasepia> simple definition: free from guile. 13:27:45 <ais523_> it's not even in the sense of bottom/fail, either; it's in the sense of undefined behaviour 13:27:56 <ais523_> for some reason, I find it reassuring seeing UB come up in formal mathematics 13:28:17 <Jafet> I thought asynchronous circuits accepted all (appropriately spaced) inputs 13:29:10 <ais523_> this is delay-insensitive circuits, so the potential appropriate spacing could be infinite 13:29:15 <ais523_> and you can only determine it via observing their output 13:29:39 <ais523_> e.g. for a simple circuit like XOR, AQ+BQ, once you give A you can't send A again or B until you get the Q 13:30:21 <ais523_> or for a circuit like C, ABQ+BAQ, once you've sent A, you have to send B next, you're never allowed to send A twice without a Q in between (and the Q won't be sent until it sees the B) 13:30:39 <ais523_> also, something that confuses me a lot is that the person who invented the C element is apparently called Muller, no umlaut 13:31:46 <Deewiant> Pronounce it /mʌlər/ to be safe 13:33:01 <Jafet> Mahler 13:33:56 <elliott> does anyone know what decides what Debian packages are installed as part of a "base system"? 13:34:05 <elliott> there doesn't seem to be a metapackage corresponding to something like ubuntu-desktop 13:34:12 <elliott> and the packages don't seem to all be marked as automatically installed 13:34:23 <Jafet> gnome-desktop-task 13:34:35 <elliott> (I'm trying to get a list of all packages I explicitly installed; aptitude search '~i !~M !~E' does okay but includes a lot of stuff that comes with Debian) 13:34:39 <elliott> Jafet: but it's a server :p 13:34:52 <Jafet> Oh, the actual base system. 13:35:25 <ais523_> elliott: I remember reading something in Debian policy about that 13:35:33 <ais523_> (what does it say about me that I read Debian policy for fun?) 13:36:13 <Jafet> You are well-informed about relevant items. 13:36:32 <ais523_> elliott: "all packages with priority `required' or `important'" 13:36:50 <ais523_> so basically anything with a lower priority, you installed yourself 13:37:21 <ais523_> that's actually a simpler definition than I was expecting 13:39:17 <ais523_> fwiw, the breakdown seems to be: "required" = enough functionality to boot the system and install more software; "important" = minimal amount needed to be able to reasonably administer the system without having to install extra packages to do so; "standard" = reasonable defaults for a small character-mode system; "optional" = pretty much everything goes here; "extra" = packages that conflict with more useful packages or are only us 13:39:30 <ais523_> a base system is required+important, a default install is required+important+standard 13:39:46 <ais523_> and required+important+standard+optional is intended to be theoretically possible but you'd have to be mad to actually do ti 13:39:47 <ais523_> *it 13:40:13 <Deewiant> ais523_: Cut off: '"extra" = packages that conflict with more useful packages or are only us' 13:40:23 <ais523_> ...useful in specialized cases 13:40:32 <fizzie> Filtering based on priority might help in "list explicit installations". 13:40:34 <ais523_> like debug symbols, that sort of thing 13:40:51 <Jafet> Pretty sure there would be people that test *+optional systems 13:40:59 <ais523_> yeah, I think there's at least one 13:41:01 <fizzie> !~prequired or some-such. 13:41:28 <ais523_> well, "required" is pretty much "if this isn't installed, your system is doomed" 13:42:01 <ais523_> whereas "essential", a different measurement is "things that are installed so widely that you don't need to bother declaring dependencies on them" 13:42:08 <ais523_> *, a different measurement, 13:42:49 <fizzie> ais523_: There seems to be (possibly hardware-detect-related?) things in the default install that don't have those priorities, yet aren't marked with a high priority. 13:43:07 <ais523_> fizzie: hmm 13:43:12 <fizzie> ais523_: E.g. "acpi" has Priority: optional, is not marked as automatically installed, is installed, and I certainly haven't installed it myself. 13:43:24 <fizzie> ais523_: (And this was just a base system with no tasksel tasks, IIRC.) 13:43:27 <ais523_> yeah, it seems possible that the installer would add in drivers specific to your hardware config 13:43:41 <ais523_> policy doesn't mention that, but OTOH I don't see a reason why it would 13:44:02 <fizzie> Similarly other such things like pciutils, pm-utils seem to be here. 13:44:55 <fizzie> (Okay, pciutils is Priority: standard. But pciutils is optional.) 13:45:05 <fizzie> Er, pm-utils is optional. 13:46:08 <fizzie> Huh, how have I ended up with a non-automatic installation of 'libfreeimage3'? 13:46:22 <fizzie> I don't even have a single package that'd depend on it. 13:46:24 <elliott> ais523_: huh, python and perl match even with !~prequired !~pimportant 13:46:29 <elliott> do those raelly not come with debian? 13:46:40 <elliott> *really 13:47:09 <ais523_> elliott: there's -minimal versions that are shipped with debian 13:47:22 <fizzie> ais523_: Curiously enough, both python and python-minimal are Priority: standard. 13:47:22 <ais523_> IIRC, the full version of Perl is flagged build-essential, but not anything higher than that 13:47:38 <ais523_> (which means that Perl doesn't have to be specified as a build dependency of anything, and thus needs to be installed to build packages) 13:47:42 <Jafet> I like how prequired includes awk, sed, perl, and two shells. 13:47:47 <fizzie> (perl-base is 'required', perl is 'standard'.) 13:48:04 <ais523_> Jafet: that's because they're often used in init scripts and the like, I guess 13:48:17 <ais523_> also I have a suspicion that apt is written at least partly in Perl 13:48:31 <Jafet> But apt is pimportant. 13:48:37 <elliott> $ aptitude search '~pimportant !~i' 13:48:38 <elliott> c libboost-iostreams1.46.1 - Boost.Iostreams Library 13:48:41 <elliott> c libboost-iostreams1.48.0 - Boost.Iostreams Library 13:48:41 <fizzie> Also called "p. important". 13:48:44 <elliott> p libboost-iostreams1.53.0 - Boost.Iostreams Library 13:48:47 <elliott> p libboost-iostreams1.54.0 - Boost.Iostreams Library 13:48:50 <elliott> c libept1 - High-level library for managing Debian package information 13:48:53 <elliott> c libsysfs2 - interface library to sysfs 13:48:56 <elliott> p nfacct - netfilter accounting object tool 13:48:59 <elliott> why are there a bunch of versions of a boost library there 13:49:03 <Jafet> That dirty ortant. 13:49:09 <fizzie> elliott: Because of aptitude. 13:49:20 <elliott> but four versions? 13:49:21 <ais523_> hmm, what does required use as the package manger? 13:49:25 <fizzie> elliott: (It depends on libboost-iostreams.) 13:49:25 <ais523_> dpkg + wget? 13:49:29 <elliott> but four versions? 13:49:35 <elliott> maybe the query is bad 13:49:45 <elliott> is it showing other versions that could satisfy the requirement for libboost-iostreams and hence are important 13:49:52 <elliott> despite the fact that I'll have some other version of libboost-iostreams installed? 13:50:00 <ais523_> yeah, that makes sense, I guess 13:50:12 <Jafet> There is no wget. Presumably you need to load debs off a floppy. 13:50:13 <fizzie> elliott: Those two "c" entries are some kind of conflicts, I think. 13:50:22 <elliott> debian is hard :( 13:50:32 <ais523_> hmm, is this a version of debian before or after they invented "breaks"? 13:50:40 <elliott> this is jessie 13:50:43 <elliott> but it started as squeeze or something 13:50:48 <elliott> maybe even the one before squeeze 13:50:59 <ais523_> probably a new version, then, because I don't recognise that codename 13:51:06 <ais523_> (except that it comes from toy story) 13:51:12 <elliott> $ aptitude search '~i !~M !~E !~prequired !~pimportant !~Rbuild-essential' | less 13:51:15 <elliott> seems pretty good 13:51:21 <elliott> ais523_: jessie is testing right now 13:51:22 <fizzie> ais523_: Both gcc-4.7-base and gcc-4.8-base are in priority: required. 13:51:25 <ais523_> elliott: right 13:51:40 <elliott> btw, is the official Debian package manager apt-get or aptitude this week? 13:51:42 <ais523_> fizzie: that makes sense, I think 13:52:18 <fizzie> Also some rather curious things that presumably are dependencies of something; like libtext-charwidth-perl "get display widths of characters on the terminal". 13:52:42 <elliott> heh, I had gcc 4.4 installed 13:52:44 <Jafet> libncurses is prequired. 13:52:46 <elliott> now I don't 13:52:55 <elliott> I like "prequired", it looks like a word 13:53:05 <elliott> huh, I have busybox installed explicitly 13:53:12 <elliott> but why would I have installed busybox? 13:53:16 <Jafet> I think bash is the only program that needs it. 13:53:32 <elliott> hmm... I wonder if there's a way to phrase "not depended on by any other installed packages" 13:53:39 <elliott> to find the leaves 13:53:57 <Jafet> You mean the roots? 13:54:01 <elliott> er. yes. 13:54:01 <quintopia> no 13:54:05 <elliott> I'm no good at plants. 13:54:16 <quintopia> the ones that are not depended on are leaves 13:54:29 <quintopia> the ones with no dependencies are roots 13:54:53 <quintopia> and those seem like as good names as any for those things 13:54:56 <Jafet> `words 20 13:55:00 <HackEgo> teiwerke ben kiim men khi jan earra tam sacripe dugo maged traft distile elson flama vasci crawa word unho sou 13:55:03 <quintopia> dependency leaf/dependency root 13:55:06 <quintopia> use those 13:55:25 <Jafet> Word. 13:55:26 <fizzie> Jafet: util-linux PreDepends on libncurses5 too. 13:55:27 <elliott> and why do I have tcpd installed? 13:55:31 <elliott> I don't remember installing half these packages 13:55:49 <fizzie> Jafet: (And a couple of pimportant things -- procps, bsdmainutils -- but nothing else prequired.) 13:56:21 <fizzie> In fact, bash doesn't; just libtinfo5. 13:56:25 <elliott> wtf 13:56:29 <elliott> why does my server have mplayer installed??? 13:56:31 <elliott> oh 13:56:32 <elliott> for mencoder 13:56:44 <elliott> why does my server have mingetty installed... 13:57:15 <fizzie> For the virtual terminal provided by your VPS system's VNC console thingamajick? 13:57:30 <elliott> but it's explicitly installed and stuff. 13:57:37 <elliott> I guess that just means the VPS installation process might have explicitly installed it. 13:57:53 <elliott> a victory: learned that mailman was installed; uninstalled it. 14:00:48 <elliott> i console-setup - console font and keymap setup program 14:00:52 <elliott> come on, why is this installed 14:01:17 <fizzie> It gets done real early in the setup, automatically, by the installer. 14:01:29 <elliott> what does? 14:01:32 <fizzie> console-setup. 14:01:39 <Jafet> Are you trying to uninstall things until debian stops working 14:01:43 <elliott> Jafet: yes 14:01:48 <fizzie> I think everything that's done as a particular step by the installer ends up in your query. 14:01:57 <elliott> that's annoying 14:02:02 <elliott> they should mark these things better :( 14:02:11 <fizzie> E.g. I've got exim4 there, and I certainly didn't install it explicitly myself, but the installer did to get the default mail system in place. 14:02:32 <Jafet> I have never attempted to use the automatically-installed indicator manually. 14:02:46 <elliott> i eject - ejects CDs and operates CD-Changers under 14:02:59 <ais523_> eject's description is misleading 14:03:04 <elliott> I want to believe that I can cause the CD tray of some physical server sitting in a data centre somewhere to pop out 14:03:09 <elliott> that would make my day, I think 14:03:24 <Jafet> You want to believe that your rack mount server has a CD tray 14:03:29 <elliott> it's a VPS. 14:03:33 <ais523_> it unmounts arbitrary removable media, regardless of whether it's a CD or a USB stick or whatever 14:03:34 <elliott> can't I dream? 14:03:46 <Jafet> Oh ok, it could be a virtual CD tray. 14:03:49 <ais523_> (and thus is necessary because umount only works as root) 14:04:03 <elliott> fizzie: what do you want if you just want a sendmail executable these days on Debian? 14:04:11 <elliott> install exim and just accept that you'll have a daemon running? 14:04:49 <fizzie> elliott: I've used 'scmail' for a thing where I just wanted a sendmail-binary-compatible replacement that always sends everything to a SMTP server. 14:05:28 <elliott> is that ssmtp? 14:05:43 <elliott> oh, that wants a proper mail server 14:05:53 <elliott> my use-case is "MediaWiki wants to be able to send emails" 14:06:14 <fizzie> Well, do you want people to be able to receive the emails it wants to send? 14:06:23 <elliott> in a perfect world 14:06:58 <elliott> ii g++ 4:4.7.2-1 i386 GNU C++ compiler 14:07:01 <elliott> ii g++-4.7 4.7.3-4 i386 GNU C++ compiler 14:07:04 <elliott> ii gcc 4:4.7.2-1 i386 GNU C compiler 14:07:07 <elliott> ii gcc-4.7 4.7.3-4 i386 GNU C compiler 14:07:10 <elliott> ii gcc-4.7-base:i386 4.7.3-4 i386 GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection (base package) 14:07:13 <elliott> ii gcc-4.8-base:i386 4.8.1-2 i386 GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection (base package) 14:07:16 <elliott> I do wonder why gcc-4.8-base is all on its own there. 14:07:16 <Jafet> You're running mediawiki, and you don't like the exim daemon? 14:07:26 <Jafet> 4.8 is the hipster version 14:07:30 <fizzie> scmail, ssmtp and one-other-I-forget-which are reasonable replacements for the case where you have a nearby real (SMTP-accessible) mail server and you want to use that for all outgoing mail. 14:08:00 <ais523_> doesn't sending mail require a daemon, in general, for the case where there's a temporary fault on the next server in the chain? 14:08:21 <elliott> Jafet: I don't mind exim. 14:08:25 <fizzie> ais523_: Not if you can live with the fact that the 'sendmail' binary just returns an error in that case. 14:08:26 <elliott> Jafet: it has postfix right now and I don't know why. 14:08:37 <elliott> ideally I'd just install the simplest "Debian Way"(tm) thing for it. maybe that is just exim 14:08:56 <Jafet> I thought the typical mail chain is of length 2 these days 14:09:00 -!- coppro has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 14:09:02 <fizzie> ais523_: (If you want to talk directly to other people's mail servers, then.) 14:09:16 <elliott> I wonder if there is a way to install mencoder that doesn't hurt me by having packages named e.g. libgl1-mesa-glx and libxinerama1 on my server. 14:09:36 <fizzie> Jafet: My most recent message in the inbox has 11 Received: headers. 14:10:02 <ais523_> fizzie: mailing list? 14:10:24 <fizzie> ais523_: Well, yes. Let's see a most recent non-list post. 14:10:44 <fizzie> 7 Received:-headers. 14:11:05 <oklopol> ais523_: it's very often the case that a closure property of regular languages has a natural implementation by FSA, but there is really no way to do it with regular expressions 14:11:14 <Jafet> Heh, mencoder depends on mplayer. 14:11:15 <oklopol> i think 14:11:40 <ais523_> oklopol: yeah, that makes sense 14:11:44 <ais523_> also vice versa 14:11:54 <oklopol> can you give an example of the vice versa 14:11:58 <oklopol> i can't 14:12:24 <oklopol> trivial things like reversal & homomorphisms are slightly easier with regexps, but they are also trivial for FSA. 14:12:30 <elliott> I think I need ghostscript for mediawiki 14:12:41 <ais523_> there's one on the Wikipedia page: (a+b)*a(a+b)(a+b)(a+b)(a+b)(a+b) 14:12:42 <elliott> which is annoying beacuse it also wants me to have libxinerama1 14:12:43 <oklopol> well maybe there are such examples, dunno 14:12:55 <elliott> should just install ubuntu 14:12:57 <elliott> and forget I have packages 14:12:57 <fizzie> scia-ca-demic.org (first source), smtp-in-02.aalto.fi (ingress SMTP here), "localhost (Email Security Appliance)", marconi.ics.hut.fi (departmental SMTP inside the local network), localhost (amavisd), marconi.ics.hut.fi (again), marconi.ics.hut.fi (Cyrus LMTP). 14:13:07 <ais523_> you get an exponential blowup of state because you need to remember which of the most recent 6 characters have been a 14:13:33 <ais523_> fizzie: is "again" a hostname, there? 14:13:33 <oklopol> okay NFA 14:13:49 <ais523_> yeah, you can't get a combinatorial explosion converting a regex to an NFA 14:13:55 <fizzie> ais523_: No, it was a description. 14:14:20 <ais523_> I almost want to call a computer "again", now, but it'd violate my naming convention 14:14:26 <ais523_> where all my computers are named after biomes 14:14:40 <elliott> does ais523_ have a computer named "nether" yet 14:15:01 <Jafet> fizzie: but isn't all of .fi just one host or something 14:15:08 <ais523_> elliott: no, also I don't think that's a real biome 14:15:21 <elliott> it is fsvo real 14:15:36 <boily> there should be one machine named "disco", for the new 1.6 cañons. 14:15:55 <fizzie> Checked another chain for the personal email; that one went: mailsend.netposti.fi - mailsend.netposti.fi - ikiaikainen.iki.fi - jatkuu.iki.fi - fe23.mail.saunalahti.fi - be18.mail.saunalahti.fi - "tmail-2006i.2007-sau", whatever that means. 14:16:12 <elliott> I should just pay ais523_ to run my server for me 14:16:17 <elliott> ais523_: how much do you want 14:16:18 <fizzie> So the chains aren't quite of length 2 yet. 14:16:23 <ais523_> but that'd mean having to administer MediaWiki 14:16:30 <elliott> ais523_: no, it's OK 14:16:32 <elliott> I don't do that either 14:16:46 <elliott> I just ignore it until the version number gets sufficiently far behind that I feel really guilty 14:16:47 <fizzie> Ooh, a DKIM signature, so fancy. 14:16:51 <ais523_> elliott: fwiw, I've sometimes taken days to notice that the nethackd on nethack4.org is down 14:16:57 <fizzie> (Mail headers are such a joy.) 14:17:14 <elliott> ais523_: I guess your community is scared of you 14:17:15 <elliott> or non-existent 14:17:21 <elliott> or they'd point it out 14:17:24 <ais523_> elliott: it's more that the user-visible error message is really misleading 14:17:28 <ais523_> "IPv6 error" 14:17:32 <elliott> heh 14:17:33 <Jafet> When I installed my computer, I named it test 14:17:39 <ais523_> regardless of what protocol they connected via 14:17:41 <fizzie> Both http://pulseaudio.org/ and http://alsa.opensrc.org/ have been down the last couple of days, right when I was configuring those two things. 14:17:46 <Jafet> This leads to weird pauses when looking at network logs 14:17:58 <fizzie> I've had to use some sort of freedesktop.org copy of PA documentation and whatnot. 14:18:28 <elliott> ais523_: it actually really annoys me that I have PHP and MySQL installed just for one abominable program :) 14:18:54 <fizzie> It annoys me that I have PHP and MySQL installed for just one abominable program (Gallery2). 14:18:55 <elliott> too bad there is not really any viable alternative I could get away with 14:18:56 <ais523_> I think MySQL is a dependency of something important in Ubuntu. Somehow. 14:19:12 <Jafet> That's if you consider anything in ubuntu important 14:19:13 <boily> is mariadb ubuntu-ready? 14:19:20 <elliott> it might be MariaDB I have 14:19:31 <elliott> I assume it is still just horrific 14:20:08 <fizzie> Qt4 brings in the MySQL client, but at least not the server. 14:20:57 <elliott> ais523_: oh, the worst thing about MW is that Debian's package is really old 14:21:02 <elliott> so it's a real pain to upgrade 14:21:11 <fizzie> (Via libqtgui4 -> libqt4-declarative -> libqt4-sql -> libqt4-sql-mysql -> libmysqlclient18.) 14:33:03 -!- Bike has joined. 14:41:48 <boily> ~yi 14:41:49 <metasepia> Your divination: "Obstruction" to "Obstruction" 14:43:30 <Bike> uh oh 14:45:05 <boily> I think elliott is in a serious pinch. 14:48:06 <Roujo> ~yi Hats 14:48:06 <metasepia> Your divination: "Retiring" to "Radiance" 14:50:23 <boily> Roujo: ~yi ignores its parameters. you have to think about the question with your mind (or soul, if you prefer. in an emergency, you can also use a rental soul, but results aren't as good usually. ymmv. hth.) hth. 14:50:43 <boily> I guess you could also tag your yises to remember what were the questions asked. 14:53:49 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined. 14:54:41 <boily> Phantom_Helloover. 14:55:15 <Roujo> Thanks, boily, I'll keep that in mind =) 14:55:16 <Roujo> Also 14:55:20 <Roujo> `relcome Phantom_Hoover 14:55:22 <HackEgo> ​Phantom_Hoover: Welcome to the international hub for esoteric programming language design and deployment!

When it tried to manage "cards" it was kind of crummy, but now it just has a list of ALSA PCM playback devices as sinks, and capture devices as sources, and that's about it. 18:25:54 <fizzie> Though without the udev autoloading thingie in place, I need to run a pa script after plugging in the stick; perhaps not a great chore. 18:26:28 <olsner> why not just use plain alsa instead of pulseaudio? 18:26:34 <fizzie> Curiously enough, the onboard audio actually has passable quality in this system. On the previous one, with headphones, there was horrible amounts of noise e.g. when moving the mouse around, or esp. windows. 18:27:02 -!- FreeFull has quit. 18:28:33 <fizzie> olsner: Because it's so awkward when I want to move some audio stream from USB-stick headphones to soapbox mini-speakers to S/PDIF out to the big speakers. Every app does its configuration differently; and changes to .asoundrc take place only when they feel like it. 18:29:29 -!- FreeFull has joined. 18:29:35 -!- lifthrasiir has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds). 18:30:38 -!- lifthrasiir has joined. 18:30:52 <fizzie> I'd probably go with Alsa and dmix if I just had that one audio device that'd have all these modalities. 18:31:15 <olsner> sounds like you've found an actual usecase for pulseaudio then, congratulations 18:32:02 -!- sacje has joined. 18:32:44 <fizzie> There's some sort of a thing on the onboard sound chip that it can make a copy of the "Default PCM" stream into the S/PDIF hole, so that sort of merges two of the three, but there's still the headphones. (Unless I switch to using the headphone port on the onboard sound, which wasn't an alternative before.) 18:34:35 <boily> or, you could, you know, use a windows machine :P 18:34:47 <boily> (sez the linux guys who works for a FOSS company...) 18:36:06 <fizzie> This machine does in fact have a Windows nowadays, since I had some leftover disks. 18:36:10 <zzo38> Use the designated audio output on the sound card; that ought to work better than using USB, because then you don't get the noise when moving the mouse and whatever. 18:36:53 <fizzie> zzo38: In the old system I had, it was exactly the other way around. The USB device had very good audio quality, while the onboard audio out was noisy as anything, especially when something happened on-screen. 18:37:15 <fizzie> (In this new setup, both seem fine.) 18:38:50 <zzo38> Yes, I have actually heard of both ways in different computers, but maybe the onboard audio was a defective sound card? It would seem that if it is implemented properly, the analog output of the sound card should work. (The operating system might not be designed for any of this, though, necessarily. But I think there is a variant of Linux which is designed for this?) 18:45:57 <kmc> boily: who do you work for? 18:46:09 <kmc> streaming audio over the network is another actual use case for pulseaudio 18:47:24 <kmc> I've enjoyed using this (or another audio daemon? i forgot) to have video playing from the media server on the big projection screen, with audio sent to my headphones via laptop (so I don't disturb housemates) 18:47:45 <kmc> still I think it's absurd that Pulse is the default even for people with the common case of one audio device 18:50:50 <Taneb> huh 18:51:02 <Taneb> In Scandinavia and the World, Finland's shirt is a lot more centred than I thought 18:51:21 <Bike> hi somebody tell me something interesting that has nothing to do with dawkins 18:52:13 <Taneb> Bike, in Scandinavia and the World, characters who would have Nordic crosses on their shirts have them way too centred 18:53:03 <Taneb> For reference, http://satwcomic.com/poster 18:53:26 <Bike> that is weird. 18:53:47 <Bike> what's the black catlooking thing 18:54:27 <fizzie> I kind of like the idea of switching to plain ALSA, and the sound quality seems fine... but the computer's headphone port is pretty much on the floor, while the USB stick is in a hub on the desk, and the cable's more comfortable that way. 18:55:27 <Taneb> Bike, an Icelandic Hellspawn 18:55:38 <Taneb> Because Iceland is right next to hell, don'tchaknow 18:55:48 <Bike> sensible 18:56:30 <Taneb> The thing on Denmark's head is a beer-drinking ghost 18:56:31 <Phantom_Hoover> http://satwcomic.com/worthless 18:56:44 <Phantom_Hoover> you can't assemble the royal seal from 1p coins alone, idiot 18:57:12 <Bike> stop ruining my immersion, comic 18:57:16 <Taneb> Phantom_Hoover, it's written by a Dane.

II has thinner paper, you can see through the back of the page 14:48:30 <oerjan> prediction: some time in the next century a flawed proof of the inconsistency of zfc will be announced, and no one will be able to disprove it because many of the theorems used are supported by chains of erroneous citations that no one can untangle. 14:48:53 <ais523_> yay, it's in II 14:48:58 <ais523_> page 28 14:49:09 <ais523_> oh well, that only took a day or so to track down, not bad going :) 14:49:13 <Roujo> =D 14:50:10 <oerjan> ais523_: now you go and fix it on wikipedia in such a way that misguided people won't revert it to one of the wrong books hth 14:50:35 <Jafet> We give a positive answer to a long-standing conjecture first posed by Johansen[7]. 14:51:16 <ais523> oerjan: Wikipedia's citing a conference paper which probably (but does not definitely) incorporate a copy of the technical report 14:51:32 <ais523> but unlinked 14:51:38 <ais523> I should probably go link it to the archive.org page, really 14:52:02 <oerjan> Jafet: i don't recall posing any conjectures fwiw but it's been a long time 14:53:00 <elliott> oerjan: there's still time! 14:54:33 <Jafet> [7] Ø.

So if there was some mechanism that made it possible for you to do it, you wouldn't be breaking any rules by doing so 16:33:32 <Roujo> Got it 16:33:33 <Roujo> =) 16:33:47 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: leaving). 16:50:06 -!- conehead has joined. 17:02:31 <zzo38> Can you answer my question from yesterday? 17:03:22 <scarf> zzo38: only by accident, because I don't know what it is 17:08:44 <zzo38> OK I will repeat 17:09:40 <zzo38> Which people in here have told about what dream they have? I want to know some things such as how commonly things resembling different kinds of logic (or no kinds of logic) applies, and a few others. A few times it has happened when in the dream there was something where linear logic seemed to apply, even though it isn't a case where that would be the case in real life. 17:09:49 <zzo38> Who (and how many) of you have done this? 17:11:57 <elliott> what happened re: linear logic? 17:13:10 <ais523_> I've never had a dream that appeared to follow the rules of linear logic 17:14:22 <olsner> I think I've told about some dream I've had some time, but I know nothing about linear logic 17:14:24 <zzo38> Things that can ordinary be used together cannot, things that ordinarily don't, instead must, etc, it has a slight resemblence to some of the operators in linear logic, if interpreted in the right way 17:14:41 <zzo38> olsner: Do you know what dream you've had (in general)? 17:15:04 <oklopol> i think you have a rather different intuition of linear logic than me 17:15:13 <oklopol> that is, some. 17:15:45 <zzo38> oklopol: Well, there are different things it can apply to. (I think this is case with most systems of logic; there are different applications of them than only what is intended/common.) 17:15:52 <oklopol> can you give some sort of example 17:16:13 <scarf> olsner: the main rule of linear logic is that variables cannot be copied or destroyed 17:16:16 <scarf> you have to use them all exactly once 17:16:39 <zzo38> scarf: Yes, that is mainly the rule how it works, and then there are multiplicative and additive operators, and so on 17:16:58 -!- nooodl^ has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds). 17:17:05 <zzo38> Although if you have exclamation/question marks then you can make it allow to use more than once 17:17:14 <scarf> trying to explain all of linear logic in one sentence doesn't work very well 17:17:19 <scarf> so explaining the basic idea is normally better 17:19:01 <zzo38> There were a few examples in my dreams, although one case was a dream where I was thinking of two things at once, one of which could not interact with the rest of my dream, despite being a part of it that isn't being discarded... 17:20:40 <zzo38> Do you ever dream that you are someone else? Do you ever dream that you are of a different species? Do you ever dream that you can fly? Do you ever dream in which you have two thoughts at once, one of which is presumably outside of the dream but is actually still only part of the dream? 17:20:48 <zzo38> (or even three levels) 17:21:03 <ais523_> sometimes I dream that I have a dream 17:21:11 <ais523_> it gets quite confusing when I dream that I wake up 17:22:01 <oklopol> i was once stuck in a dream loop, kept waking up and everything was normal for a couple of minutes and then... a dinosaur. 17:22:07 <zzo38> ais523_: It happens to me, but it doesn't confuse me so much really 17:22:16 <zzo38> oklopol: That happen to me too, but without the dinosaur 17:22:16 <fizzie> I've forgotten completely what the password is to my RPi. 17:22:29 <scarf> fizzie: can you boot up in single-user mode to fix it? 17:22:33 <scarf> or does it not have a serial terminal? 17:22:39 <oklopol> when it was over, i took a 1.5 hour long walk and kept checking that there is nothing suspicious under the snow 17:22:55 <scarf> oklopol: I find that when I'm awake it's easy to verify that I'm awake 17:23:02 <scarf> but when I'm actually asleep I don't think to check 17:23:09 <fizzie> scarf: It has a HDMI port and supports USB keyboards, but I don't really know if the bootloader can take any arguments. 17:23:10 <oklopol> i thought so too, until i had this dream 17:23:22 -!- nooodl has joined. 17:23:22 <zzo38> What I find is there is no point in checking this 17:23:32 <fizzie> scarf: On the other hand, I can just stick its "hard disk" (a SD card) to a memory card reader and change the password. 17:23:46 <scarf> fizzie: right 17:23:54 <zzo38> Once it was the dream that I knew was the dream but I told people in the dream and they didn't believe me. 17:23:58 <fizzie> scarf: (Though I can't really shut it down cleanly without being able to login. It doesn't have a soft power switch. Or a hard one.) 17:24:12 <zzo38> (But usually I do not have such a belief) 17:24:19 <scarf> fizzie: you could just crash it, I guess 17:24:28 <fizzie> I think I'm going to have to. 17:24:28 <scarf> via cutting the power 17:25:25 <zzo38> I realize something, that in both cases when I was of a different species, it was the species of the character of a game I have played and made up the character (two different games, though, one D&D and one a MUD). Other thing that might be remarkable is that many people say they often dream they can fly, but I could only fly when I was the correct species. 17:26:07 <zzo38> There are other things too other people report about their dreams, many of which I find I have it differently, although some things are the same in my dreams, but there are many differences. 17:26:20 <zzo38> These things seems like remarkable to me. 17:28:35 <zzo38> Later after I woke up, the flying dream also reminded me of something IKEA once did, where they wrote about measuring the space in a room in cubic units rather than square units. 17:29:12 <fizzie> "passwd: Cannot determine your user name." 17:29:14 <fizzie> Huh. 17:29:23 <fizzie> (I gave it a user name argument.) 17:30:04 <fizzie> (As in, "passwd -R /mounted/thing user". Maybe that's not right.) 17:34:10 <fizzie> I guess it does a chroot to /mounted/thing and only after that tries to dynamically load some libnss stuff, which of course won't work out. I suppose I need to use some lower-level thing that just edits the shadow file. 17:34:12 <zzo38> How different are your dreams from mine? 17:36:57 <Taneb> I had a dream that I was hanging out with three Homestuck cosplayers 17:37:06 <Taneb> A John, a Dave, and a Jade 17:37:13 <Taneb> And I was good friends with the Dave 17:37:33 <Taneb> Then the John cosplayer decided he was going to kill me and the Dave cosplayer and we had to run away 17:38:03 <zzo38> And what did Jade do? 17:38:08 <Taneb> Stand around 17:38:40 <Taneb> I think she was friends with the John cosplayer but staying neutral on the whole killing us thing 17:38:49 -!- TodPunk has quit (Quit: This is me, signing off. Probably rebooting or something.). 17:41:18 -!- Taneb has quit (Quit: Leaving). 17:41:40 <zzo38> I don't think anyone has ever try to kill me in my dreams, although it has happened (at least) a few times where people were trying to hurt me really badly or inject me with alcoholic drugs or something; I wake up just in time and almost fall off of the bed. 17:41:52 -!- scarf has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds). 17:44:18 <fizzie> More PulseAudio experiences: unplugged the USB device (going to try it out in the Pi) and it went to 100% CPU usage.

When dreaming, numbers tend to change constantly and be vague. I have once succeeded this. I looked at a clock or something and when the numbers changed, I knew I was dreaming. 18:42:42 <boily> if only I could get something as precise as a vague number when I dream... 18:42:52 <elliott> valer: looking at your hands tends to be pretty good in my experience 18:42:58 <elliott> as long as you can handle seeing your hands all messed up 18:43:08 <valer> :) 18:44:39 <zzo38> It doesn't work to me, the logic is different when you are sleeping, I just either know or I don't know, and either way it seems to me there is no point in checking even if there is a way to do so. 18:47:33 <valer> Several times when I've been close to waking up and noticed (or half-noticed) that I'm dreaming, I've exploited the fact and started to fly around. 18:50:28 <zzo38> A lot of people say they fly in their dreams but like I have said I never had except once recently when I was mi-go. I don't know why a lot of people do and I don't. Even though in cases that I do notice I am dreaming, I don't fly. Although once I told someone in the dream that it is the dream, and they didn't believe me! 18:51:40 <katla> i think its pretty rare to get to fly in a dream 18:51:52 <katla> but it feels great to fly, whether in a dream or not -so people talk about it a lot 18:52:41 <zzo38> katla: Some people I have talked to say they do very commonly, and they are still human in those cases, they aren't being a different species or something. I think it is just that different people have different dreams. 18:54:02 -!- ap3x has joined. 18:54:29 <boily> `relcome ap3x 18:54:31 <HackEgo> ​ap3x: Welcome to the international hub for esoteric programming language design and deployment!

I don't think I have, though. 18:58:22 <katla> the way to win ICFP is to choose programs whose counter-examples tell you themost about how to improve them 18:58:30 <katla> I have no idea how to do that though 18:58:48 <elliott> valer: you use the same server, is why I asked. 18:58:54 <elliott> also, too many Finns 18:59:42 <valer> Heh.

I'm in Finland, yes. 19:00:32 <boily> oh, an interesting datapoint! can I ask him the The Question? pretty please? 19:01:00 <elliott> valer: I mean, kapsi.fi. 19:01:33 <zzo38> valer: Have you ever had dreams where you think of two or more things at once, one of which seems at a higher (as in not dreaming) level but actually it is still a dream, where you cannot use those thoughts together for some reason even though they are basically simultaneous? 19:01:37 <valer> elliott, oh, that's a very popular non-profit shell provider here. 19:02:14 -!- TodPunk has joined. 19:02:30 <zzo38> valer: And do you ever dream in which you are a different species? 19:02:50 <elliott> valer: he's the kind of guy who goes into fizzie's office and tells him speech recognition sucks and to op me. 19:05:20 <zzo38> valer: I would like to know what features you have/haven't had in your dream, to see how to compare between different people (including myself) 19:05:27 <valer> zzo38, that's quite a specific concept, I'd have to look for it while sleeping. And about the species, I think I've been some other animal/creature but can't remember now. I've been a non-human ghost/spirit entity at least. 19:05:49 <zzo38> I once read that someone has had a dream tat ended in credits. 19:06:09 <boily> I had black and white dreams a few times. 19:06:31 <boily> can someone here whip up a quick'n'dirty poll to check our dream features? 19:07:41 <zzo38> boily: We would have to see how to do that and what kind of things to write in such a poll. It isn't quite that simple. 19:08:08 <valer> I have had god-like powers at times in dreams. Once I was an evil spirit who took great joy in terrifying people. 19:08:30 <zzo38> I don't think I have had in black and white. At one time I thought you dream in black and white because the room is dark, but once the room was dark and my dream was still in colors, so that can't be in. 19:11:03 <zzo38> valer: Interesting; I was never had. Only two cases I was as a different species, was still physical, and in both cases a species of a character I made up in a game I have played (once D&D, once a MUD). I was never evil nor a spirit. 19:11:43 <zzo38> In the one that I fly, for some reason, I lived in an apartment (although I do not actually live in an apartment in real life), together with my family and friends 19:12:30 <zzo38> (I didn't live in a apartment in the game where the species is from, either) 19:14:38 <valer> I've had some very colorful and epic adventure dreams. They're fun but not that common.

MML reminds me of my old BASIC days... 19:59:22 <zzo38> BASIC uses a simple kind of MML, but there is more sophisticated ones with multi-track and other things; there is ppMCK for compiling MML into .NSF, and I have even added some things into ppMCK such as tail recursion and the * and ? commands (I find * and ? very useful for writing chords, although they are useful for other things too) 20:00:38 -!- epicmonkey has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 20:02:07 <valer> There's XML representations of MIDI and such. 20:02:14 -!- Taneb has quit (Quit: Leaving). 20:03:50 <boily> valer: hello. my name is boily. you mentioned XML. prepare to be cetaceaned. 20:04:24 <valer> I accidentally XML.

To me it is different; it tends to be like a strange kind of logic more often than it is no logic at all, although it is sometimes the logic that corresponds to real life too. 20:58:01 <oerjan> zzo38: maybe you have found something others haven't discovered, in which case you should try and deduce the rules for the rest of us. 20:58:27 <zzo38> oerjan: Even if it does, it doesn't necessarily mean it applies to you. 20:58:31 <oerjan> alternatively, the logic may get into your dreams from thinking a lot about logic in waking life... 21:00:10 <oerjan> and yeah, i don't really expect dreams to be comparable from person to person except on a deep emotional/symbolic level. 21:02:08 -!- Canaimero-ccd has joined. 21:02:27 <zzo38> It happens even before I think about logic, actually 21:02:40 <Canaimero-ccd> hola 21:02:40 <oerjan> `@ Canaimero-ccd ? welcome.es 21:02:42 <HackEgo> Canaimero-ccd: ¡Bienvenido al centro internacional para el diseño y despliegue de lenguajes de programación esotéricos!

However, this wasn't true (it was also the dream), but in addition, it was independent and could not be combined with another thought in the dream.

It could be just to discourage ripping off the songs from the demo, but it leaves all the S3M headers and such in place. 21:29:14 <fizzie> I mean, you still get an unplayable file, but it'd have been just as easy to apply the above to the entire file instead of just the pattern data. 21:30:05 <olsner> it's probably easier to do <whatever> to the whole file rather than change specific pieces of an S3M 21:30:11 -!- katla has joined. 21:32:33 <fizzie> (There's quite a lot of Finnish in file names there. 21:33:02 <fizzie> I'd say "less so in the comments", but I haven't really found any comments yet. 21:33:15 <olsner> the DESIGN file is almost entirely finnish 21:33:46 <fizzie> Grepping for /\* in *.c found a couple of comments in Finnish too. 21:34:13 <fizzie> It seems to be the "script". 21:41:40 -!- Luis1 has joined. 21:44:41 <olsner> looks like someone is making an android port of it 21:44:59 -!- atriq has joined. 21:45:41 -!- katla has quit (Quit: Leaving). 21:46:38 -!- Taneb has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 21:47:28 <fizzie> olsner: A faithful one or a "HD remake" kind of thing?

I have OpenMPT for playing .S3M and so on, so I tried creating a new file and entering a "X" effect and it says it is panning. 17:04:09 <Deewiant> fizzie: It's worth checking whether Scream Tracker itself does anything with them. They could be extensions. 17:05:11 <fizzie> Deewiant: Scream Tracker doesn't support panning except on GUS, though. Schism (which AIUI is an Impulse Tracker clone) does panning with it. 17:05:17 <zzo38> katla: (I think their definition probably ends up being equivalent to what I am thinking of, though.) 17:05:27 <fizzie> I guess the X values in this file would make sense if it were panning. 17:06:25 <zzo38> fizzie: Then perhaps at least in that file, it is supposed to be panning. 17:10:57 <zzo38> (Wikipedia doesn't seem to have anything about "signed multiset", except for the "Free abelian groups are formal sums...they may be seen as signed finite multisets..." paragraph, and this is what I mean by "signed multiset".) 17:11:45 <katla> are you using thse free rings for anythin 17:12:39 <zzo38> I think a multimana in Icosahedral RPG makes free commutative ring over the set {w,u,b,r,g}. 17:13:19 <zzo38> So yes I am using these free rings for something. 17:13:54 <katla> woah 17:14:39 <zzo38> It is certainly different than other systems. 17:31:48 <elliott> "Communication of delicious has not been included because to children all confectionery, especially 17:31:51 <elliott> chocolate confectionery, is delicious." 17:32:07 <elliott> this marketing report thing about a relaunch of Curly-Wurlys is great and I have no idea why I am reading it 17:32:26 -!- elliott has set topic: Communication of deilcious has not been included | Хммм, тхис стуфф реаллы сеемс то ворк | 22nd IOCCC is open: http://ioccc.org/2013/rules.txt | jsvine is doing an esolang survey! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1OvEsdBioOFcXFAiscO34kctUWKs3dWQs5-ZouXdwy9Q/viewform | http://codu.org/logs/_esoteric. 17:32:33 -!- elliott has set topic: Communication of delicious has not been included | Хммм, тхис стуфф реаллы сеемс то ворк | 22nd IOCCC is open: http://ioccc.org/2013/rules.txt | jsvine is doing an esolang survey! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1OvEsdBioOFcXFAiscO34kctUWKs3dWQs5-ZouXdwy9Q/viewform | http://codu.org/logs/_esoteric. 17:33:29 <Deewiant> Does Cyrillic script count as an esolang or why is it in the topic 17:33:53 <Deewiant> Or is that Greek, whichever 17:34:24 <elliott> apparently it's English 17:36:37 <Deewiant> The language is, but the alphabet used isn't 17:36:52 <elliott> I agree, that is not the English alphabet 17:37:06 <Deewiant> Just wondering if there's a point to it 17:37:42 <Taneb> Only one person knows that 17:38:26 <shachaf> Deewiant: no 17:38:28 <shachaf> no point to it 17:39:11 <elliott> "These ideas were put into qualitative research in animatic form and exposed to children aged 6–11 17:39:14 <elliott> years old.

(commutative rings are also a variety.) 20:57:47 <zzo38> oerjan: Is it the one I have defined? 20:58:42 <zzo38> Day of Zeux as a due time in 24 hours where the time you start the upload (if you use FTP) is the due time instead of when it is finished. That might allow cheating though. My own Z-Comp does something a bit different: You must submit the SHA-1 hash of the file before the deadline. 20:59:35 <oerjan> zzo38: yes i think so, as long as the second order multiset (for addition) can have negative number of an element 21:00:54 <zzo38> oerjan: Yes, that is what I meant by a signed multiset 21:03:32 <oerjan> btw fields are _not_ a variety, division by zero messes up the ability to define it by just equations. 21:04:27 <zzo38> OK; I didn't use fields anyways though. 21:04:41 <oerjan> (e.g. it makes the "obvious" equation x*(1/x) = 1 have an exception) 21:15:28 -!- epicmonkey has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds). 21:19:04 -!- sacje has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds). 21:26:01 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 21:26:08 <oerjan> <zzo38> I cannot find the Wikipedia articles for a free ring; it redirects to something else. <-- there's a single-sentence definition buried inside the redirected article 21:26:42 <oerjan> it's probably technically correct, if not very illuminating 21:27:29 <Bike> revelation of the day: pedaling a bike requires metabolic work 21:27:39 -!- sacje has joined. 21:29:00 <oerjan> zzo38: it's actually equivalent to what you said for noncommutative rings, since a free Z-module is really just a signed multiset 21:29:25 <oerjan> (it's also the same as a free abelian group) 21:30:32 <oerjan> and in another sentence in the introduction, it implies that the commutative analogy to a free algebra is a polynomial ring 21:32:11 <oerjan> zzo38: so another way to define a free commutative ring is as a polynomial ring with the generators as variables and Z as the ring of coefficients. i think. 21:32:21 -!- Sgeo has joined. 21:32:39 <Bike> https://github.com/search?q=path%3Awp-config.php I can't decide if github should turn off search forever, or just auto-break every single fucking dumbass system 21:32:45 * pikhq notes he should not take levofloxacin again. 21:32:51 * pikhq also hopes that never comes up again. 21:33:00 <oerjan> all of these should be equivalent to the category theoretical definition of a free object in the relevant category, of course. 21:33:38 <oerjan> (also, the left adjoint to the underlying set functor) 21:39:09 <zzo38> oerjan: Ah, OK, so I suppose those things would be it too. 21:39:53 <oerjan> zzo38: anyway to prove that your formulation is correct you can note (1) the distributive law allows you to normalize every algebraic expression in a ring to your form (2) assigning suitable integer values to each generator (essentially the same as choosing a homomorphism into the integers) allows you to prove that different multisets cannot represent the same free ring element.

Perhaps, say, the downtown part of the city is south of the rectangle, and there are a bunch of businesses west of the rectangle. 00:12:20 <tswett> People traveling out of the city are more likely to want to visit businesses along the way than people traveling into it. 00:13:05 <tswett> "Business" meaning a building providing a service to the public, rather than an office or factory. 00:16:29 <shachaf> Bike: huh? no 00:16:30 <Jafet> You just don't realize how great it is to be able to reverse direction without an interchange 00:16:37 <shachaf> Bike: it's the place to be because i'm here 00:16:54 <Bike> ok well bad timing 00:23:06 <oerjan> since the discussion started before 0 UTC, i should assume it is just coincidental that wikipedia has a highway as today's featured article 00:23:37 <oerjan> or maybe Gracenotes sneak peeked 00:25:10 -!- carado has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds). 00:26:19 <shachaf> i heard Gracenotes has ""connections"" 00:26:37 <oerjan> ooh 00:27:57 <Bike> they choose them in advance... 00:28:36 <shachaf> i thought they flipped a coin at midnight 00:28:40 <Jafet> Since the discussion is about highways, I should assume that oerjan didn't actually read the wikipedia main page for the fun of it 00:28:48 <shachaf> d4000000 00:28:48 <lambdabot> shachaf: 1443117 00:28:53 <shachaf> d100000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00:28:53 <lambdabot> shachaf: 73274656582344544685947877970172273676770 00:29:00 <shachaf> d1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00:29:00 <lambdabot> shachaf: 659790748428201985583386173652174207609455971330297358345175532... 00:29:07 <Jafet> I don't think they have that many featured articles. 00:29:09 <oerjan> itt Jafet is making some wrong assumptions 00:29:12 <Bike> ddddd5000 00:29:17 <Bike> sux imo 00:29:31 <Bike> apparently the next article is Barton Fink. 00:29:44 <Jafet> 2d4 00:29:44 <lambdabot> Jafet: 3+4 => 7 00:29:52 <Jafet> 1000000d2 00:29:52 <lambdabot> Jafet: 1500179 00:30:00 <Jafet> 1000000000000d2 00:30:00 <lambdabot> Jafet: 1500000345378 00:30:27 <oerjan> 10d4 00:30:27 <lambdabot> oerjan: 29 00:30:29 <oerjan> 5d4 00:30:30 <lambdabot> oerjan: 11 00:30:31 <monotone> tswett: The actual explanation for at least one of those cases is that it's between two interchanges that don't have full directional access. 00:30:33 <oerjan> 3d4 00:30:33 <lambdabot> oerjan: 3+3+1 => 7 00:30:36 <oerjan> 4d4 00:30:36 <lambdabot> oerjan: 10 00:31:19 <oerjan> Bike: NOOOOO NO SPOILERS 00:32:16 <monotone> https://maps.google.com/maps?vpsrc=6&ie=UTF8&ll=40.428149,-80.025487&spn=0.009555,0.01929&t=m&z=16 # The route enters from the NE with I-376 and leaves to the SE with SR 51. 00:32:23 -!- Sprocklem has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 00:36:22 -!- yorick has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 00:41:52 -!- carado has joined. 00:54:36 <tswett> Bike: I'll ddddd5000 for you! 00:54:57 <tswett> Bike: 95 00:55:05 <Bike> Thx. 00:55:10 <tswett> Ywhwh. 00:58:48 <shachaf> @@ @dice @run (\[_,x] -> text $ 'd':x) . words $ @show @dice @run (\[_,x] -> text $ 'd':x) . words $ @show @dice @run (\[_,x] -> text $ 'd':x) . words $ @show @dice @run (\[_,x] -> text $ 'd':x) . words $ @show @dice @run (\[_,x] -> text $ 'd':x) . words $ @show @dice d5000 00:58:52 <lambdabot> shachaf: 27 00:59:43 <Bike> elegant. 01:00:49 <shachaf> hm i want to make a "thus spoke Bike" pun sometime 01:00:55 <shachaf> but there's no good time for it 01:00:59 <shachaf> so someone else can make it instead 01:05:55 <oerjan> i think that pun would just be tiresome 01:07:20 -!- augur has joined. 01:08:46 <Gracenotes> oerjan, shachaf: I looked up Wrong Way Corrigan, because of watching a QI episode 01:08:51 <shachaf> oerjan: it wasn't meant to be a chain 01:09:09 <Gracenotes> there is a queue for front pages featured article, in fact, it goes many months into the future 01:09:36 <oerjan> shachaf: let's just gear down 01:10:25 <tswett> Hum, hum.

Or maybe I'll just call it Ex or something. 13:29:30 <Deewiant> The x̂ actually is more legible than the â in my font. 13:29:56 <fizzie> They're about the same here.

DEAL WITH IT PIGEONS. 04:00:58 <zzo38> What trouble do you have? 04:01:29 <Sgeo> 4 bit files = 16 files, but there are 15 files that are smaller than that, so just one file could be left alone as a 4 bit file while the other 4 bit files get compressed.

One of our reviewers wanted a better baseline (to some "competiting" method), so I guess I'll have to implement something, even if it really isn't the point of the paper. 13:14:56 <boily> yuck.

Since when? 17:17:47 <Deewiant> I guess snapshotting is the actual term 17:17:52 <Deewiant> http://zfsonlinux.org/ 17:17:59 <fizzie> Vorpal: I use a set of scripts built around rdiff-backup; it's pretty much like rsync except it does backwards-diff history on top. 17:18:06 <Vorpal> Also isn't brtfs in development still? 17:18:26 <Deewiant> Duplicity is another thing similar to rdiff-backup, IIRC 17:18:27 <fizzie> (There's also something very much like rdiff-backup, I forget the name.) 17:18:33 <fizzie> Oh, it's probably what I was thinking of. 17:18:50 <Deewiant> And yes, btrfs is a work in progress, I don't actually know if it does snapshotting yet 17:18:51 <Vorpal> fizzie, hm nice, how easy would it be to extract a single file from a given version? Or browse what an old version looked like to try and find a file? 17:19:20 <fizzie> I haven't really been needing to do that, so can't say. 17:19:44 <fizzie> The latest version is easily browseable since it's just there, of course. 17:19:58 <Vorpal> Well yeah 17:20:13 <fizzie> And you can ask the command-line tool for "newest before this date" kind of things, sure. 17:20:30 <Vorpal> right 17:20:34 <fizzie> At least I recall so; haven't had the occasion to. 17:21:53 <Deewiant> "Like duplicity, [rdiff-backup] uses the rsync algorithm for bandwidth and space efficiency, but instead of storing data in encrypted archives, it creates a mirror on the remote system." 17:22:27 <CADD> all i have to say is: https://github.com/philipl/pifs 17:22:59 <Vorpal> Deewiant, ah 17:23:35 <boily> looks like I'm not the only one to repost the pifs thing :D 17:23:47 <Deewiant> Also I think the Tarsnap tools are free 17:23:57 <CADD> boily: :) 17:24:11 <CADD> CADD: lemme guess /r/math? 17:24:15 <CADD> oops 17:24:17 <CADD> boily: ^ 17:24:44 <Vorpal> "They said 100% compression was impossible? You're looking at it!" <-- false, the position of the file in pi might take a larger number to express than the file content itself. 17:24:58 <Roujo> Oh god, pifs 17:24:59 <boily> CADD: I don't know what you're talking about. any evidence of me spending way too much time on reddit is false. 17:25:01 <CADD> Vorpal: you are completely right. 17:25:10 <Deewiant> Vorpal: Just store the position in pifs as well 17:25:10 <Roujo> I think I posted that in here yesterday 17:25:14 * boily points to metasepia "the bot did it!" 17:25:28 <CADD> boily: hehe.. i like reddit for the archives. if you unsub from the overcrowded subs then reddit is pretty palitable 17:25:35 <Vorpal> Deewiant, I apply the pidgin hole principle. 17:25:36 <Deewiant> Vorpal: (And if that takes too much space store the position of that in pifs etc, recursively) 17:26:08 <Roujo> Deewiant: But then you also have to store the number of recursions you've done =P 17:26:10 <boily> CADD: indeed. I still do like todayilearned, mind you. I just have this insatiable urge to consume random trivia. 17:26:24 <Roujo> (Ideally, store that into pifs as well) 17:26:28 <Deewiant> Roujo: Just shove it all in pifs, it's free after all 17:26:48 <CADD> boily: yeah, reddit is a goldmine in its archives. thats mostly where i hang around in.. lol 17:26:51 <Vorpal> Deewiant, you would need to store for each iteration then if it was the file or if it was another address. 17:27:26 <boily> but pifs has some serious security problems with people all using the same constant. the government has direct access to everything you wrote, you're writing or might write! 17:27:39 <CADD> either way the 100% compression is facetious 17:27:44 <Deewiant> Vorpal: Just to be different you can store that info in √2fs 17:27:54 <Vorpal> Deewiant, quite so 17:27:57 <Roujo> boily: Yes, but separating that from the random crap is pretty much a lost cause 17:27:57 <CADD> boily: oh yeah 17:28:27 <Vorpal> Deewiant, I believe efs would work too 17:28:31 <Roujo> Suggestion: Finding the binary representation of some CP picture in pi, then suing everyone who has a copy. 17:28:56 <Roujo> Vorpal: I nearly forked pifs just to make that pun =P 17:29:01 <Roujo> I was at work, though, so I didn't 17:29:05 <Deewiant> Vorpal: EFS already exists (actually there are many of them) 17:29:25 <Bike> so, question. what can we know about the relation between a sequence and its position in pi (assuming it's normal)? like, are the length of the sequence and the length of its position comparable? 17:29:40 <Vorpal> yeah I think I heard the name before for a normal file system 17:30:04 <boily> Roujo: where do you work? 17:30:06 <CADD> currently using rieserfs, liking it very much.. 17:30:06 <Vorpal> Bike, comparable how? 17:30:14 <CADD> funny using a murderers fs.. :) 17:30:15 <Bike> Vorpal: is one necessarily shorter, say 17:30:20 <Roujo> Programmer at Dicom Express, sur Côte-de-Liesse 17:30:27 <Roujo> ^ @boily 17:30:33 <boily> oh, shiny! 17:30:35 <Phantom_Hoover> Bike, i think so, yeayh 17:30:37 <Phantom_Hoover> *yeah 17:30:50 <zzo38> A murderers fs? 17:31:13 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, really?

That is irrelevant to the file system. It is bad because of the various problems the file system has, such as recovering data from a damaged reiserfs having various issues 17:35:52 <zzo38> Vorpal: Yes, that can be how it is. 17:35:56 <kmc> although it seems that it's not known whether the euler-mascheroni constant is even irrational 17:35:59 <Phantom_Hoover> don't even try Vorpal 17:36:06 <Vorpal> I used reiserfs back when it was the only journaling file system (back during 2.4 or 2.2 I think?) 17:36:06 <Phantom_Hoover> zzo38 is streets ahead of you 17:36:13 <CADD> Vorpal: interesting, i didnt know about that. I've heard its journaling system is pretty good though. any links? 17:36:15 <Phantom_Hoover> kmc, yeah, it's kind of weird 17:36:16 -!- atrapado has joined. 17:36:35 <Bike> euler-mascheroni is a p. good constant 17:36:55 <kmc> Phantom_Hoover: ++ 17:36:57 <Vorpal> Phantom_Hoover, oh yeah, he has a far more eloquent way of expressing what I just said. ;) 17:37:14 <kmc> jeez just don't damage your filesystem 17:37:15 <kmc> what's the problem 17:37:38 <Phantom_Hoover> Bike, the best part is how it sounds a bit like pasta 17:37:43 <Bike> yes. yes indeed. 17:37:45 <Vorpal> kmc, wasn't there issues with storing a reiserfs in a loop image on a reiserfs iirc 17:37:51 <kmc> oh yeah that was funny 17:37:56 <Vorpal> kmc, might have been for file system recovery only, I don't remember 17:38:02 <Bike> i think we don't know if khinchin's constant is irrational either 17:38:09 <Bike> which is way weirder than not knowing about e-m, imo 17:38:18 <kmc> khinchin's constant is the weirdest 17:38:42 * Phantom_Hoover googles 17:38:48 <Phantom_Hoover> i am amazed that that is a thing 17:39:10 <Bike> yes. 17:39:15 <kmc> maybe the aliens are transmitting on hydrogen times K_0 instead of hydrogen times pi 17:39:32 <Bike> "Among the numbers whose geometric mean of the coefficients ai in the continued fraction expansion apparently (based on numerical evidence) tends to Khinchin's constant are π, the Euler–Mascheroni constant γ, and Khinchin's constant itself. However, none of these limits has been rigorously established, even though it is known that almost all real numbers have this property." 17:39:45 <Bike> normal numbers all over again 17:39:51 <kmc> yep 17:40:58 <zzo38> What is hydrogen times K_0 and those stuff? 17:42:02 <Bike> in i think Contact (?) the aliens transmit information over the frequency of the spectral line of hydrogen times pi, or something 17:42:17 <boily> `quote 1089 17:42:18 <HackEgo> 1089) <+kmc> Harry Potter and the Tyranny of Structurelessness 17:43:05 <kmc> yeah what Bike said 17:43:58 <kmc> the fundamental whatever frequency of hydrogen is a good universal time/frequency reference, except that the universe is mostly made of hydrogen and your signals will get absorbed 17:44:06 <kmc> so multiply it by a unitless fundamental mathematical constant 17:45:07 <Deewiant> Such as khinchin's or lévy's 17:45:40 <Bike> due to a misunderstanding it ends up being transmitted at hydrogen * the ratio of a foot to a meter 17:45:50 <kmc> haha 17:45:59 <Vorpal> Wouldn't it make more sense to simply double it or something. I suspect the electronics would be easier for that. 17:46:01 <CADD> lol! 17:46:01 <kmc> hydrogen * pied 17:46:20 <kmc> Vorpal: 2 is a unitless fundamental mathematical constant, don't you think ;) 17:46:29 <CADD> Vorpal: still would have probably been absorbed 17:46:31 <Vorpal> kmc, I meant, as opposed to pi 17:46:38 <Vorpal> CADD, oh? 17:46:40 <kmc> so did I 17:46:44 <CADD> Vorpal: just my guess :) 17:46:48 <Bike> -1 is a fundamental mathematical constant :iiam: 17:47:49 <CADD> Vorpal: well actually at 1420.40575177 MHz, probably not 17:48:03 <Vorpal> kmc, also how many decimal places of pi are you multiplying the frequency with?

AM? FM? PSK? Or something else? 17:51:29 <Bike> otherwise i'd just.... "hey, here, a circle" 17:52:07 <kmc> Vorpal: in _Contant_ the basic carrier / get-your-attention signal is on-off-keying of the first n prime numbers in unary 17:52:13 <kmc> _Contact_* 17:52:16 <kmc> that seems pretty reasonable 17:52:22 <Fiora> kmc: you could, like, wrap a string around a circle 17:52:27 <Bike> yeah 17:52:38 <kmc> true >_< 17:52:40 <Vorpal> kmc, that seems like a really inefficient modulation 17:52:46 <Bike> unrelated: i always mentally compare contact with his master's voice, where the get-your-intention is just repetition 17:52:47 <Vorpal> for any data transfer that is 17:53:11 <Bike> they harvest neutrino spin data to make random numbers and somebody who wanted random complains when the sequence starts repeating 17:53:12 <kmc> Vorpal: sure; once they notice your signal, you can expect them to put in more effort to decode a second, more efficient form of modulation 17:53:37 <Bike> or neutrino... something... i don't know physics 17:54:28 <CADD> Bike: background radiation is usually a pretty good RNG: http://www.fourmilab.ch/hotbits/hardware3.html 17:54:52 <Bike> well yeah, the fact they're getting a repetitive signal out of something that's usually a RNG is what kicks off the plot. 17:55:13 <Bike> because it's caused by ~aliens~ (probably) 17:55:23 <Bike> the book's a lot more pessimistic than contact, really. 17:55:44 <CADD> Bike: ooh, i didnt know that was from the movie 17:55:45 <Phantom_Hoover> the book also called contact 17:56:18 <Bike> i am talking about a book that is not contact 17:56:37 <kmc> http://stefangeens.com/2005/04/talking-to-aliens-part-iii-khinchins-constant-source-of-wonder/ what do you think of the last few paragraphs here 17:57:48 <Bike> "What is so special about K?

It implies that the sequence of whole numbers that describes K, [...] is simultaneously described by K" i dunno about this, as descriptions go i'd usually expect a one to one mapping not a one to everything mapping 18:04:31 <kmc> how do you mean 18:05:02 <Bike> like, K "describes" real numbers (with probability one) by this meaning 18:05:08 <Bike> which isn't really what i'd think "describes" as meaning. 18:06:37 <Bike> not that K might not be a good choice, i just don't think it as obviously signifies self-reference as the author seems to think 18:07:02 <kmc> yeah me either 18:07:48 <Bike> plus, i dunno, there's a lot of speculative xenopsychology you have to do here, that ties in uncomfortably with philosophy of mathematics, and we really don't have any other data on understanding of math but in humans 18:08:00 <kmc> standard sort of waving your hands and saying "strange loop!" 18:08:09 <kmc> which is about the only thing you can do with the "strange loop" concept, fun though it is 18:08:14 <Bike> yeah :/ 18:08:29 <Bike> i've kind of been less enamored of hofstadter lately, it's sad 18:08:42 <kmc> xenopsychology and exo-politics 18:09:01 <kmc> IAASL was a pretty depressing book for me 18:09:02 <boily> do we have any sentient non-humans on this channel? 18:09:09 <boily> ~duck IAASL 18:09:09 <metasepia> --- No relevant information 18:09:09 <kmc> fungot: are you sentient? 18:09:09 <fungot> kmc: they say that a diamond is another kind of great dark worm, but three lefts do. these were the thirteen choosers of the king, by edith hamilton), farma- god ( god of commerce, trade and travellers. he has been a bit of a lion, a thirty-league stretch of potholes and half-buried rocks that spirals around mountains and dips into cool green valleys of citrus trees, crosses liana-webbed gorges on creaking rope bridges and is t 18:09:18 <kmc> _I Am A Strange Loop_ 18:09:40 <Bike> i never read iaasl 18:09:42 <boily> oh. thanks for the mentionment. I find that I lack depressing books. 18:09:50 <kmc> in which Hofstadter restates the thesis of GEB but without any of the playfulness 18:09:54 <zzo38> But three lefts do what? 18:09:57 <kmc> it's just like "damn it you guys didn't get it the first time" 18:10:00 <Bike> i got fluid analogies but after a while it was just like, why don't you get some evidence instead of making up interesting toys 18:10:00 <kmc> "let me spell it out" 18:10:19 <kmc> also he's sad because his wife died 18:10:25 <Phantom_Hoover> :( 18:10:38 <Phantom_Hoover> that puts his harem of beautiful french women in a decidedly harsher light 18:10:40 <Bike> well the french one was wife-death-centric but pretty good, i think 18:10:52 <kmc> hofstadter has a harem of beautiful french women?

18:13:14 <kmc> which basically boil down to "don't take it too seriously" 18:13:18 <kmc> zzo38: an anti-malarial drug 18:13:19 <Phantom_Hoover> i will say this in hofstadter's defence, he's far far better than wolfram 18:13:37 <kmc> zzo38: which can cause vivid terrifying dreams as a side effect 18:13:43 <Bike> phantom that's like saying vietnam is better than the khmer rouge 18:14:04 <Phantom_Hoover> hey, that's fair enough! 18:14:19 <kmc> Captain Planet / He's our hero / Gonna take polution / Down to zero / By de-industrializing the planet and killing 90% of the population 18:14:24 -!- sacje has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds). 18:14:32 <zzo38> Phantom_Hoover: Yes it is better than Wolfram 18:14:38 <Bike> the frustrating thing about hofstadter for me is basically psychologist's fallacy, because i mean he's not a crank or anything, obviously. 18:14:46 <kmc> which fallacy is that 18:15:05 <zzo38> I think Godel,Escher,Bach is a very good book; I do not agree with everything written there but I agree some and you can read a book it is good whether or not you agree. 18:15:13 <Bike> the one where you take your conscious experience of a mental event to be true of the mental event, and of that sort of mental event in general 18:15:23 <Bike> like "hm i think with analogies, this must be the basis for cognition" 18:15:28 <kmc> GEB is still a great intro to formal metamathematics 18:15:31 <kmc> accessible yet precise 18:15:40 <kmc> and the rest of the book is fun if you don't take it too seriously 18:15:41 <Bike> definitely. it's the only one i can think of but still good 18:15:49 <zzo38> kmc: Yes, although I think it is a pretty good book in general. 18:15:49 <kmc> 16 year old kmc may have taken it too seriously 18:15:55 <Bike> maybe to mock a mockingbird? i haven't read that. 18:15:57 <kmc> but that's OK 18:16:02 <Phantom_Hoover> i'm glad i could never really bother reading it 18:16:06 <kmc> Bike: that's pretty different stuff i think 18:16:16 <Bike> i imagine it doesn't cover peano arithmetic, no 18:16:17 <kmc> I don't know what all it covers, whether it gets to Gödel and such 18:16:37 <boily> I remember reading “The Quark and the Jaguar”, and being thoroughly confused. 18:16:43 <Bike> GEB's a hard game to top, really, i mean how many math books have won a pulitzer 18:16:50 <kmc> combinatory calculus would be a less conventional way to present Gödel etc, for sure 18:16:53 <kmc> but could be done 18:17:18 <coppro> google now has streetview in the tardis 18:17:19 <Bike> i think Mock does go into church numerals at least, so you could present godel in a conventionalish way 18:17:42 <kmc> does it have theorems and proofs as strings, though 18:17:49 <Bike> no idea. 18:17:52 <kmc> I mean sure you can encode that in pure lambda calc, but it's kind of ass-backwards 18:18:22 <Bike> yeah 18:19:49 <zzo38> The quine in FurryScript is a bit based on the GEB so it says "ENIUQ" as the name of a subroutine; but it also takes advantage of a feature of FurryScript; if a template references a subroutine/list that doesn't exist, it will just output the template literally instead. Also, multiple values on the stack at the end have a line break in between; it takes advantage of that too. 18:20:32 <zzo38> Since anything on the stack at the end of a FurryScript program that isn't a string will be ignored, a simple program such as "42" will output nothing and isn't a quine. 18:20:52 <Bike> i think my favorite part of GEB is actually one of the pictures, of a cerebrum filled with correct small arithmetic equations, which together form a giant "2+2=5" 18:21:40 <zzo38> Bike: Yes that is good too, but there is things in the book I like it is good in general 18:21:44 <kmc> 2+2=5 (The lukewarm.) 18:21:57 <Bike> good song too 18:22:03 <Bike> alas hofstadter is not into radiohead. 18:22:21 <kmc> how do you know? 18:22:42 <Bike> in ton beau de marot there's an extended analogy relating to how he personally doesn't like rock music 18:22:53 <kmc> heh 18:23:44 <Bike> clearly we need a hipper, younger, metalhead hofstadter 18:23:51 -!- kmc has set topic: Open your mind, we need you to fly | 22nd IOCCC is open: http://ioccc.org/2013/rules.txt | jsvine is doing an esolang survey! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1OvEsdBioOFcXFAiscO34kctUWKs3dWQs5-ZouXdwy9Q/viewform | http://codu.org/logs/_esoteric. 18:24:39 <kmc> Radiohead has a lot of songs that aren't "rock music" although that's not particularly one of them 18:24:57 * kmc -> lunch 18:25:08 * Bike imagines ledzep cover of Fitter Happier. 18:26:46 -!- conehead has quit (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.). 18:27:42 <zzo38> Why do you need you to fly? 18:27:52 <olsner> `? radiohead 18:27:53 <HackEgo> radiohead? ¯\(°_o)/¯ 18:27:53 <myndzi> | 18:27:54 <myndzi> º¯`\o 18:28:08 <olsner> `learn radiohead is "rock music" 18:28:12 <HackEgo> I knew that. 18:28:24 <fizzie> Open your fly, we need you to mind. 18:29:06 <zzo38> Why do you need you to mind? 18:30:00 <Bike> "In summary, a rational number is perfectly approximated by itself, but is badly approximated by any other rational number." math is deep 18:31:03 <zzo38> Bike: Does that really mean anything? 18:31:48 <Vorpal> Bike, to me that sounds like a very silly way to express it. 18:32:34 <Bike> yes, it's a summary, i'm reading about diophantine approximation 18:32:50 <boily> ~duck diophantine 18:32:50 <metasepia> Originated or taught by Diophantus, the Greek writer on algebra. 18:33:11 <zzo38> Of course I don't fly, but I did once play a flying character in a computer game (now broken!!), and dream of being like that too once, but I don't fly; I need to open a wing to fly not a mind! 18:33:42 <Bike> more formally, say we're approximating p/q by another ratio a/b (such that it's not just a multiple); then abs(a/b - p/q) >= 1/(bq) 18:34:29 <zzo38> Bike: O, that would be more meaningful, then. 18:35:03 <Bike> which is bad compared to irrationals; for example for an algebraic number x of degree n you have abs(x - p/q) > c(x)/q^n for all p, nonzero q, where c(x) is constant rel. to x 18:36:11 <Bike> also, apparently if two reals are related by a mobius transform, they have the same continued fraction expansion except for a finite prefix. that's pretty cool imo 18:37:24 <Bike> guess it kinda makes intuitive sense though. 18:44:05 <fizzie> Diophantine ducks are the best ducks? 18:45:51 <Bike> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Littlewood_conjecture wtf 18:47:59 <kmc> that's pretty weird 19:22:46 <Phantom_Hoover> without the n it's pretty intuitive, at least 19:25:49 <shachaf> kmc: just use 1-10 like everyone else 19:26:26 <kmc> for what? 19:26:52 <shachaf> bathroom reviews 19:27:37 <kmc> you are the confuser 19:27:45 <kmc> also what do you think of lamport signatures???? 19:27:53 <kmc> I must know 19:27:56 <shachaf> help you asked about that yesterday and i was going to read about them 19:28:25 <kmc> imo do that now 19:29:06 <boily> ~duck lamport signature 19:29:07 <metasepia> In cryptography, a Lamport signature or Lamport one-time signature scheme is a method for constructing a digital signature. 19:29:12 <shachaf> now reading 19:30:45 <shachaf> kmc: oh, that's not complicated 19:30:55 <kmc> it's so nice :) 19:30:57 <shachaf> it's like a zero knowledge proof thing 19:31:10 <kmc> in that it uses a committment scheme?

It is plain text so it will display inline. 22:45:58 <zzo38> I don't like Inform 7 either, but it isn't the only programming language for Z-machine; I am using Frolg, which I wrote myself. 22:46:10 <zzo38> I think someone in here mentioned the "grep ''" trick; I used that in the backup script. 22:46:16 <Koen_> see that's the problem there 22:47:09 <Koen_> interactive fiction isn't something new and it should be easy to do 22:47:25 <zzo38> And there is no need for anyone other than myself to know the programming language used since I will program it myself; but the collaboration would be for the planning/ideas. 22:47:41 <Koen_> the simple fact that you would find it more convenient to write your own language than to use one that already exists shows how bad things are 22:47:47 <zzo38> (as well as such things as music and graphics, but this game doesn't have any graphics) 22:48:30 <zzo38> Koen_: I already did write the Frolg assembler (it is a macro assembler; the other Z-machine assemblers don't support macros). 22:49:03 <zzo38> Other programming languages for Z-machine include ZIL, Inform 6, ZAP, Zasm, Inform 7, Frolg. 22:49:59 <zzo38> But in order to make everything fit in the way I want to, my program is the only one sufficient. 22:57:33 -!- lambdabot has joined. 23:02:52 <oerjan> <Bike> Fiora: guess who found the xenobiology labs at school <-- now you just have to find where they hide the aliens hth 23:03:09 <oerjan> @ask Vorpal you're not the Vorpal who is playing r/nommit, are you?

23:39:01 <kmc> the other thing about Rust is that it's incredibly ambitious 23:39:22 <kmc> there's no existing language remotely close to mainstream that does what Rust is trying to do 23:44:52 -!- copumpkin has quit (Quit: My MacBook Pro has gone to sleep.

Reminds me of... Irish, maybe? Though only vaguely. 04:15:59 <tswett> "Yoru pader" sounds kind of like English. Or maybe "pader" is from Latin. 04:16:12 <Gracenotes> also, interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groans_of_the_Britons 04:16:39 <Gracenotes> the british isles have a quite interesting history in roman times. 04:16:41 <tswett> And "kennto"... doesn't that have sort of a... I'm not sure what, exactly. A Celtic feel or something? Or British, or what. 04:16:49 <tswett> "Jalèr" looks like French, though. 04:16:51 <Bike> nobody likes ancient british history :( 04:16:53 <Gracenotes> then there were kings and stuff... boring, you know... 04:17:26 <oerjan> tswett: are you trying to analyze what _you_ wrote? 04:17:36 <tswett> oerjan: yeah! What language is this? 04:18:07 <tswett> It looks like it's probably a European language, doesn't it? Like, I definitely don't think I'd say it looks like any particular non-European language. 04:18:36 <tswett> I mean, it doesn't look entirely unlike Vietnamese, from the very very little I know of Vietnamese. 04:18:41 <oerjan> it's like, you don't know what you yourself wrote, like? 04:18:53 <tswett> I know exactly what it means; I'm just pretending I don't. 04:19:33 <tswett> "Yoru pader" just really sounds a lot like "your father". Maybe it's some weird variant of English or something. Like English turned into... something else. 04:19:59 <oerjan> O KAY 04:20:50 <tswett> Google Translate says that "kennto" looks like Finnish and "jalèr" looks like Spanish. 04:21:38 <tswett> The sentence *kind* of looks like it could be Finnish. Like, it doesn't use any letters not used in Finnish, apart from è, does it? But it doesn't actually look like Finnish at all. 04:21:51 <Gracenotes> it's pretty impressive that `rot13 is i18n, actually. 04:22:32 <tswett> Gracenotes: that it successfully converted r̀ to è?

"I DON'T FUCKING KNOW, JESUS CHRIST YOU HIPPIES" 17:37:03 <kmc> yeah 17:37:15 <kmc> itt rants against hippies 17:37:30 <Bike> zzo38: general (western person twisting buddhism to fit their preconceptions)-ness 17:37:31 <kmc> there is a big rant against hippies in the big mushroom guide that my girlfriend got 17:37:43 <olsner> Bike: sounds like she ought to be more zen about questions about zen 17:37:47 <Bike> i mean, it's not as bad as the beatniks or anything 17:38:02 <kmc> which concludes with basically "btw if you want to trip that's fine just don't ask me stupid questions about fungi" 17:38:07 <Bike> hah 17:38:20 <Bike> "in that chapter we're going to cover psychoactive drugs, which is usually a fun topic" how appropriate, prof 17:38:51 <kmc> haha 17:39:12 <kmc> our awful intro-bio-for-non-bio-majors class was called "Drugs and the Brain" 17:39:16 <kmc> less interesting than you might think 17:39:21 <Bike> lolllll :( 17:39:29 <kmc> no practicum component 17:39:36 <Bike> endocannabinoid system ftw 17:39:51 <kmc> Bike I need to learn about the subjective difference between THC and CBD intoxication 17:40:27 <Bike> cross publish your trip report on silk road and the journal of experimental biology 17:40:39 -!- asie has joined. 17:40:40 <Bike> er, erwid, that's what i'ts called 17:40:46 <kmc> haha 17:41:06 <Bike> and JEB doesn't really cover human experience either but whatever 17:41:17 <kmc> i wonder how often david nichols's grad students have random people ask them for experimental hallucinogens 17:41:37 <kmc> and i also wonder what their parties are like 17:41:42 <Bike> it just occured to me that you could seriously publish a trip report in a serious anthropology journal 17:41:52 <Bike> best science? maybe 17:42:25 <kmc> i knew a friend of a friend who was a grad student (not for nichols) and said their strategy was basically "synthesize drug, take drug, see what drug does, figure out how to reproduce in rats so it's publishable" 17:42:44 <Bike> intelligent drug design 17:44:15 <kmc> there must be a lot of really interesting psychedelic drugs that are as yet undiscovered 17:44:54 <Bike> probably... i don't think pharmacology is far along enough yet that we can work out how stuff works, honestly :/ 17:45:15 <kmc> like, among all the known phenethylamines and tryptamines, there's a single drug with a strong specific effect on auditory processing 17:45:26 <kmc> (diisopropyl tryptamine aka DiPT) 17:45:27 <Bike> heh i immediately thought of that too 17:45:50 <Bike> i wonder if i could get into working on physiological optics and then figure out how optical hallucinogens work, heh 17:45:56 <kmc> so I dunno what this would be like if psychedelics got the same amount of study as boner pills 17:46:10 <kmc> haha well a friend of mine did some research on that 17:46:41 <kmc> made a model of wave propagation in V1 neurons and then compared the result to known hallucination patterns 17:46:45 <Bike> nice 17:46:52 <kmc> it's polar mapped so you get either concentric circles or radial lines 17:46:55 <Bike> the book on vision i'm reading does get pretty "have you ever really looked at your hands" at points 17:47:15 -!- Phantom_Hoover has left ("Leaving"). 17:47:34 <Bike> wow the professor just said biopsychology and behavioral neuroscience are the same thing. wow dude. wow 17:49:26 <Bike> "Fiberoptic control of motion in Chr2 mouse" good recovery. 17:50:38 <Bike> oh hey! one of the labs here is doing research on pain treatment with THC and opiates. 17:51:58 <boily> the only time I was on opiates was a very interesting experience. 17:52:52 <Bike> http://blinkdb.org/ anyway, cool computer thing. 17:58:58 <AnotherTest> What is the fastest algorithm to find two equal values in an unsorted (and for that matter, unstortable) sequence of values? 17:59:26 <AnotherTest> (assuming nothing can be assumed about the values in the sequence) 17:59:29 <Bike> what the hell does "unsortable" mean (i have no idea though) 17:59:41 <AnotherTest> it means, you can't sort it 17:59:54 <AnotherTest> at least it's not practically doable 17:59:57 <AnotherTest> nor useful 18:00:50 <Roujo> Can you put the whole thing in memory? =P 18:03:01 <boily> unsortable, as in your values do not form a poset? 18:04:33 <AnotherTest> Roujo: depends on how many memory you have. Probably not though. Maybe if you invented an architecture using 2048 bits as address size 18:04:47 <Roujo> AnotherTest: That can be arranged 18:05:03 <oklopol> unsortable = the algorithm T must be such that, for any turing machine M, for large enough n, on input lists of size n, M takes at least time O(n log n) to compute the sorted version of the input from any internal state encountered during the run of T or does not compute it. 18:05:09 <AnotherTest> (and if you have enough memory to use up all those addresses) 18:05:12 <Roujo> You're looking for ANY two equal values, right? 18:05:13 <oklopol> not very clear perhaps 18:05:16 -!- Bike_ has joined. 18:05:25 <AnotherTest> Roujo: yes 18:05:50 -!- Bike has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds). 18:05:54 <Roujo> Alright, here's what I would do 18:05:58 -!- Bike_ has changed nick to Bike. 18:06:09 <oklopol> but anyway, perhaps you can formalize things like "write an algorithm that does X without doing Y" like this 18:06:27 <Roujo> Hmm... 18:06:29 <Roujo> Nevermind 18:07:21 <AnotherTest> oklopol: well, it might be sortable. But I only need to find the value once, so I don't think there is little point. I also need the indexes of the two equal elements, however those change after sorting. 18:07:33 <AnotherTest> *the two equal values 18:08:13 * boily is listening to a jazz album that features slightly disturbing samples of farm animals... 18:09:22 <FreeFull> AnotherTest: If it's unsorted then I see it as worst case O(n²) 18:09:37 <FreeFull> And the only thing you can do is brute force 18:09:59 <Bike> i can't think of anything that wouldn't be the obvious n² one 18:10:13 <FreeFull> Bike: that's because there isn't anything 18:10:37 <Bike> don't be so pessimistic. remember grover's algorithm. 18:11:35 <Roujo> I'd be tempted to only match the first bytes at first to speed things up 18:11:48 <Roujo> Although I have no idea if I'd save anything in the end 18:11:59 <AnotherTest> FreeFull: isn't there some crazy algorithm that will solve everything automagically :(? 18:12:09 <FreeFull> Bike: That's only for quantum computers though 18:12:15 <Bike> theefull 18:12:27 <boily> AnotherTest: swapping the current universe for one that has already solved the problem. 18:12:43 <AnotherTest> boily: what about... building a quantum computer 18:12:48 <Roujo> Snowflake Algorithm: return false; 18:12:57 <quintopia> 1) check if the problem is solved. 2) if not, implode universe 18:13:01 <Bike> Roujo: i think you usually assume comparison is constant-time in these things. 18:13:17 -!- conehead has joined. 18:13:18 <Roujo> AnotherTest: swapping the current universe for one that already has a quantum computer 18:13:28 <Roujo> Bike: Oh. Oh well =P 18:13:45 <Roujo> Still, it would be a neat trick if you can't hold a whole element in memory 18:13:52 <Bike> though i guess you might have a point. you could reject some results in, uh, less-constant time, at least. 18:14:09 <Bike> but that's probably irrelevant to the O time of the anothertestgorithm. 18:14:13 <oklopol> if you can only do comparisons, then you can probably prove an n log n lower bound for the number of comparisons 18:14:16 <AnotherTest> Roujo: If I swap the universe, wouldn't that invalidate my pointers? 18:14:16 <oklopol> needed 18:14:17 <Roujo> Yeah, it's still n^2 18:14:26 <Roujo> AnotherTest: Not if they were safe pointers 18:14:26 <kmc> you can do it in two O(n) passes with a hash table right 18:14:34 <boily> AnotherTest: nah. too mainstream, and not ambitiöus enough. 18:14:35 <kmc> or if you just want to catch the "no solution" case, a bloom filter 18:15:18 <AnotherTest> ok I can do another thing 18:15:35 <AnotherTest> suppose that given a value x at position i 18:15:44 <AnotherTest> then I can compute the value y at position i + 1 18:15:55 <AnotherTest> and for that matter z at position i + n 18:16:09 <oklopol> hash tables are the obvious solution if you're fine with "works in practice with probability 100-epsilon %", but _what if everything maps to the same element_ 18:16:12 <Bike> starting to think you've presented your problem in a weird way here! 18:16:12 <Deewiant> Input formula into recursive equation solver, profit 18:16:28 <kmc> oklopol: universal hashes, hth 18:16:42 <AnotherTest> Bike: hmmmm what if the problem was weird 18:17:10 <oklopol> kmc: err, afaik that doesn't really help for deterministic algorithms 18:17:11 <Bike> AnotherTest: well i mean, you were talking about lists but now you're talking about "computing", which makes it seem like you contorted your actual problem to fit a list paradigm for us in the first place 18:17:14 <Roujo> kmc: What if you use the value as a hash? 18:17:17 <AnotherTest> I would use a hashtable if only it could store 10^600 elements 18:17:34 <Roujo> AnotherTest: Get a bigger table 18:17:46 <Roujo> Chop down a bittree 18:17:51 <Bike> (unrelatedly, if you have induction i wouldn't have even mentioned the z computation) 18:18:00 <AnotherTest> Bike: yes, it's a sequence 18:18:56 <Bike> so for example, it seems like this goes forever, is there guaranteed to be a repeated value at some point, or could it be monotonic or something 18:19:04 <FreeFull> oklopol: You could probably have a hash table that adapts to the input 18:19:08 <FreeFull> So that will never happen 18:19:29 <AnotherTest> Bike: yes, I have managed to found bounds for that as well 18:19:33 <FreeFull> Lookups would be just as fast but insertions would be worse 18:19:43 <AnotherTest> Bike: well kindof 18:19:48 <Bike> http://rrresearch.fieldofscience.com/2013/07/apple-academic-press-predatory.html anyway here's a weird thing 18:19:48 <oklopol> you cannot have a hashing algorithm where it's not possible that everything you encounter maps to the same element, unless you do no compression 18:20:33 <Roujo> Treat every value as an address in memory. When you encounter a value, if its bit is on, it's a match! If it's not, well, meh. 18:20:45 <Roujo> Turn it on and go on to the next value 18:20:52 <Roujo> Alternatively: 18:21:10 <AnotherTest> hm 18:21:12 <Bike> AnotherTest: is there a distribution the values follow? can you do any sequence acceleration? what are the properties of the sequence in general? or do you just want us to ignore these and consider it an arbitrary sequence, like you said 18:21:39 -!- SingingBoyo has joined. 18:21:43 <Bike> do you want the first duplicate or any duplicate? bla bla, bla bla bla, bla 18:21:48 <AnotherTest> Bike: I don't want you to ignore them, but I can't tell you the properties either because... well because. 18:21:48 <Roujo> foreach(Value value : values) { if(File.exists(value)) { /* found match! /* } else { File.create(value) } }; 18:21:53 <Bike> AnotherTest: ok 18:22:06 <FreeFull> oklopol: Not even if you change the algorithm if you get more than n things in one element? 18:22:11 <oklopol> no 18:22:14 <Roujo> Heck 18:22:15 <oklopol> not even then 18:22:17 <AnotherTest> I can tell you that the distribution isn't known though 18:22:24 <Bike> AnotherTest: but for example, you could have a linear algorithm with constant space if you knew that eventually two duplicate elements would be adjacent 18:22:25 <Roujo> foreach(Value value : values) { if(File.exists(value)) { /* found match! /* } else { File.create(value).write(value.getIndex()) } } 18:22:40 <Roujo> So that you have the matching index in the file 18:22:44 <Roujo> That's... O(n)? 18:22:52 <Bike> well... not sure about linear really. 18:22:52 <oklopol> (or maybe yes, let's think a bit) 18:23:10 <Bike> i guess it's linear in the length until there are adjacent duplicates :D 18:23:15 <FreeFull> oklopol: But that would mean that there is a set of values which will always map to the same element no matter what hashing algorithm you use 18:23:26 <oklopol> yes 18:23:27 <AnotherTest> Bike: Well I can predict the minimum and maximum distance between the two equal values 18:23:29 <Roujo> Hell, if File.create fails if the file already exists, then it's even easier! 18:23:42 <AnotherTest> which certainly helps, but brute force is just not really what I want 18:23:42 <Bike> AnotherTest: "the" two? are there only two? 18:23:51 <Bike> that's not brute force :( 18:23:56 <AnotherTest> Bike: no, "any" two 18:23:57 <oklopol> and by yes i mean you're right, that is not true 18:23:59 <Bike> oh ok 18:24:19 -!- asie has quit (Quit: My MacBook Pro has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz...). 18:24:35 <Bike> so when you say "i don't want brute force" in response to my solution there i assume you mean that you expect there to be duplicates long before the adjacent (or minimally distant) ones, and would rather get thoe 18:24:39 <Bike> those 18:24:49 <Bike> which raises questions about your specific requirements, i think 18:24:50 <FreeFull> oklopol: you could have two elements though and split based on the mean value 18:25:02 <oklopol> you could of course just put the value in the next slot if the previous one is full, and you would certainly have only one value per hash cell 18:25:47 <FreeFull> Which would mean that you would have to potentially rebuild your hashcells on each insertion in the worst case 18:25:51 <oklopol> in any case i'm pretty sure no matter what you do a hash does not give any speedup in the worst case 18:26:13 <oklopol> but you're right, what i said earlier does not in any way prove this, perhaps i thought it did 18:26:21 <FreeFull> oklopol: I'm just thinking you can always make lookup better by making insertion worse 18:26:26 -!- sacje has joined. 18:26:59 <Roujo> I like my File System idea (^_^) 18:27:21 <oklopol> i'm just saying that i'm sure hash tables cannot be made 100% foolproof 18:27:32 * quintopia hands out fibonacci heaps to everyone 18:27:39 <Roujo> oklopol: Unless your hash function maps a value to itself 18:27:40 <AnotherTest> Bike: well suppose you want two find two equal values. Say they are located at i and j. I know that lower_bound < |i - j| < upper_bound. I can compute those bounds 18:27:47 <Roujo> But yeah, it's not really a hash function then =P 18:27:54 <oklopol> Roujo: right, unless there is no compression, as i mentioned earlier 18:28:03 <FreeFull> oklopol: Not even with a meta-function that creates hash functions? 18:28:17 <FreeFull> And horrid insertion complexity 18:28:31 <kmc> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_hashing is like such a metafunction 18:29:01 <oklopol> for probabilistic algorithms, universal hashing ofc works 18:29:05 <Bike> AnotherTest: well that gives you an O(i*(upper-lower)) time and O(upper-lower) space algorithm at least 18:29:16 <Bike> AnotherTest: er assuming you don't mind computing those bounds 18:29:40 <AnotherTest> Bike: I also know that i + 1 == j + 1 is veru likely to be true 18:29:59 <AnotherTest> Bike: I can compute those bounds using simple calculations, so no 18:30:06 <Bike> i'm not sure that helps, but ok 18:30:43 <AnotherTest> :q 18:30:48 <AnotherTest> wrong window, sorry 18:31:01 <Bike> an emoticon or vi? we may neve rknow 18:31:12 <AnotherTest> vim :) 18:31:21 <Roujo> Bike: Watch out, that space looks like it's escaping 18:31:23 <Bike> way to ruin the mystery asshole 18:31:36 <boily> in our offices we have the usual vim vs. heretics religion war. 18:31:39 <Bike> Roujo: neve's a strong one, she can keep it contained 18:32:02 <FreeFull> boily: Obviously ed wins 18:32:12 <AnotherTest> Bike: actually, what makes you think that wasn't a lie 18:32:18 <Bike> :o 18:32:18 <FreeFull> Despite vim having ex built in 18:32:19 <Roujo> boily: I just use Notepad++ =P 18:32:22 * Roujo ducks 18:32:29 <boily> FreeFull: of course, even if I had an argument with a sysadmin about the merits of sed against ed. 18:32:38 <Bike> AnotherTest: anyway how about this look-ahead-between-lower-and-upper algorithm, does that help you 18:32:50 <AnotherTest> Roujo: You mean notepad right? Who still uses ++ these days? 18:33:03 <boily> Roujo: that reminds me, I think I owe you a smack from last friday, quand que t'as mentionné Pauline, you evil miscreant! 18:33:09 -!- conehead has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds). 18:33:20 <Roujo> Heh =P 18:33:26 <AnotherTest> Bike: well, that was my first idea but I figured that it wasn't very efficient 18:33:33 <Roujo> AnotherTest: I use ++ all the time. Why would you prefer notepad? 18:33:51 <Bike> AnotherTest: intuitively it seems like it uses the least possible number of comparisons, not that i have a proof 18:34:02 <AnotherTest> Roujo: It's like preferring C++ over C... ask eliott or someone else 18:34:29 <Roujo> Well, Notepad doesn't support syntax highlighting, or regex, or custom commands... 18:34:36 <boily> fungot: to ++ or not to ++? 18:34:36 <fungot> boily: and is one thing which you might want is broken" archives. even less chance. i called " o" in " the other side has. you came through, which is the bit-reversal of the statement is encountered, it is also readily than they use over there 18:34:42 <Bike> Roujo: "well C doesn't support classes" 18:34:58 <Roujo> Bike: Well C is a beautiful note, thank you very much 18:35:05 <Roujo> C3 or bust 18:35:11 <FreeFull> boily: Some people prefer sam 18:35:12 <Bike> c4 mother fucker 18:35:23 <AnotherTest> what about wordpad 18:35:28 <AnotherTest> does anyone still use that 18:35:37 <AnotherTest> did anyone ever use that anyway 18:35:42 <boily> FreeFull: eh? you sure? 18:35:48 <FreeFull> boily: Yeah 18:35:51 <Bike> i used to use it when notepad would crash on long documents 18:35:58 <boily> AnotherTest: I did by error once, but corrected myself soon afterwards. 18:36:06 <oklopol> notepad doesn't have undo :( 18:36:08 <Roujo> AnotherTest: lolwat.rtf 18:36:15 <FreeFull> sam's manpage is broken for some reason though 18:36:26 <Bike> oh, yes, and when people gave me rtfs for some godforsaken reason 18:36:32 <Roujo> `run man cat 18:36:34 <HackEgo> man: can't open the manpath configuration file /etc/manpath.config 18:36:34 <boily> I tried acme, too. got utterly confused by the way the mouse is used. 18:36:40 <Roujo> `run man-cat 18:36:41 <HackEgo> bash: man-cat: command not found 18:36:47 <Roujo> `run, man cat! 18:36:48 <HackEgo> ​/home/hackbot/hackbot.hg/multibot_cmds/lib/limits: line 5: exec: run,: not found 18:37:06 <oklopol> wordpad has that horrible thing where you cannot choose anything but full words 18:37:10 <oklopol> otherwise it's like notepad with undo 18:37:10 <FreeFull> Bike: rtfcb 18:37:27 <Bike> can i help you 18:37:30 <AnotherTest> Bike: hmm... well I guess that's bad news (and possibly good news at the same time <insert evil laughing>) 18:37:30 <FreeFull> Bike: sam has a command-line mode 18:37:36 <FreeFull> Bike: "read the fucking coder's brain" 18:38:08 <Bike> "Via Twitter, Tuomas Aivelo reports that profs in Finland must retire at 68–but many of them keep doing research, without pay!" ok 18:38:40 <Bike> AnotherTest: i have to compliment you here, you've got a good mix of information and hidden information here, near-optimal for evil laughs i would say 18:39:31 <AnotherTest> Bike: I would like to tell you but I'd probably disappear or something... ok I know I'm paranoia... or maybe not 18:39:41 <Bike> you're losing it 18:39:47 <Bike> that's too cheesy 18:40:01 <AnotherTest> anyway 18:40:07 -!- atrapado has joined. 18:41:15 * boily gives a Pied-De-Vent to AnotherTest 18:41:40 <boily> (very nice cheese from Îles-de-la-Madeleine. it smells like horse.) 18:41:52 <AnotherTest> I'm actually limited by other people.

I'm assuming you're looking at graph theory 18:50:50 <Fiora> isn't that where you'd find cycle detection stuff...? or am I missing something 18:51:09 <AnotherTest> Well...

I have a penguin plushie on my desk that I use as a projectile when a coworker says something stupid. 19:16:45 <Roujo|Android> boily: Ah yes, the good old Rosemont Murder-Accident combo 19:17:19 <Roujo|Android> I have a nerf gun on and at all times at work 19:17:22 <boily> we had to walk all around a block to get to the bus, me with a set of mahjong tiles in my packsack and a table on my head. it was fungotely heavy. 19:17:22 <fungot> boily: i know i didn't know that you've had it for some time i added a new page and sends it to emacs, i suggest, vote). you need to install in /usr/ lib " 1.ss" " srfi" 19:17:25 <Roujo|Android> You never know 19:17:44 <boily> very sensible choice. 19:18:21 <Roujo|Android> Except for that one time where I knew 19:18:29 <Roujo|Android> But eh 19:18:53 <Roujo|Android> You can't force happiness on a person 19:19:00 <Roujo|Android> Something about rape 19:19:43 <boily> random grep question: is there a way to grep for a pattern that spans multiple lines? I'm searching for python function calls where a keyword argument has a certain value, e.g. "searched_function(..., random_arg_on_another_line='value')"? 19:20:07 <boily> Roujo|Android: you know what they say about that: 19:20:09 <boily> ~fortune 19:20:09 <metasepia> All this big deal about white collar crime -- what's WRONG with white collar 19:20:09 <metasepia> crime? Who enjoys his job today? You? Me? Anybody? The only satisfying 19:20:09 <metasepia> part of any job is coffee break, lunch hour and quitting time. Years ago 19:20:09 <metasepia> there was at least the hope of improvement -- eventual promotion -- more 19:20:09 <metasepia> important jobs to come. Once you can be sold the myth that you may make 19:20:10 <metasepia> president of the company you'll hardly ever steal stamps. But nobody 19:20:10 <metasepia> believes he's going to be president anymore. The more people change jobs 19:20:11 <metasepia> the more they realize that there is a direct connection between working for 19:20:11 <metasepia> a living and total stupefying boredom. So why NOT take revenge? You're not 19:20:12 <metasepia> going to find ME knocking a guy because he pads an expense account and his 19:20:12 <metasepia> home stationery carries the company emblem. Take away crime from the white 19:20:13 <metasepia> collar worker and you will rob him of his last vestige of job interest. 19:20:13 <metasepia> -- J. Feiffer 19:20:19 <fizzie> That was the longest fortune. 19:20:32 <boily> it didn't even flood. I'm disappointed. 19:20:57 <fizzie> boily: As for the grep, I've used the manual "grep -A 1 stuffonfirstline | grep -B 1 stuffonsecondline". 19:21:08 <fizzie> (It can get a bit confused if you happen to have a line that matches both.) 19:21:37 <olsner> fungot: how's your fortune? 19:21:37 <fungot> olsner: so, let's say i call them mindless games. if we hit every stupid person, any person going, tough one. if we solve it,... 19:21:45 <Roujo|Android> I didn't know they said that, no 19:22:04 <Roujo|Android> ~theme irc 19:22:04 <metasepia> --- Possible commands: dice, duck, echo, eval, fortune, metar, ping, yi 19:22:09 <Roujo|Android> Crap 19:22:13 <Roujo|Android> Dem prefixes 19:22:22 <fizzie> Still with the double-fault. 19:22:30 <fizzie> (It's "style".) 19:22:31 <Roujo|Android> I knowwww 19:22:48 * Roujo|Android hangs his head in shame 19:23:12 <olsner> oh, double fault as in two simultaneous errors, not an x86 double fault 19:23:30 <boily> fizzie: I went with "grep -Enrs", and hoped that both parts were on the same line. but your solution seems interestinger. 19:23:39 <boily> `?

I'm not sure whether this is actually good. 17:51:10 <samantus> AnotherTest: Its message im not sure whether this is to be a good idea yeah 17:51:10 <fungot> AnotherTest: mr president, safety aspects also militate against completion of the internal market. 17:51:54 <fizzie> fungot: Stop trying to show off your education by using words like "militate". 17:51:55 <fungot> fizzie: madam president, ladies and gentlemen, we live in the dignity that is the difference between an observatory and an agency. this agency will be active soon, because it would then be the international community must not only ensure that appropriate rules exist. the mafia does not exist. 17:52:56 <AnotherTest> samantus: Would you like another botwar? 17:52:57 <samantus> AnotherTest: Would you like another botwar 17:53:20 <AnotherTest> fizzie: we could have them join another channel 17:53:30 <AnotherTest> I think samantus could learn a great deal from fungot 17:53:31 <samantus> AnotherTest: Samantus could learn a great deal from fungot 17:53:31 <fungot> AnotherTest: mr president, firstly, to ensure that the authority at community level. another point which gives cause for concern. nevertheless, it must be acknowledged that the chapter on employment in the european consumer. 17:54:04 <fizzie> AnotherTest: I can join it wherever you like, but it won't reply more than four lines consecutively to any one person, to prevent loops. 17:55:17 <AnotherTest> fizzie: oh :( can't you disable that? 17:57:10 <fizzie> Not on a per-channel basis, no. 17:57:18 <fizzie> And running a second instance sounds a bit too much like work. 17:57:59 <AnotherTest> :( 17:58:09 <AnotherTest> andd I just got warned! 17:58:14 <AnotherTest> god this bot is annoying 18:12:46 -!- doesthiswork has joined. 18:19:17 -!- KingOfKarlsruhe has joined. 18:21:03 -!- Taneb has joined. 18:26:31 <coppro> ugh, why doesn't tr do its output incrementally? 18:26:50 <coppro> anyone know a utility that will? 18:27:38 <boily> coppro: you could “perl -e” it? 18:27:59 <fizzie> GNU sed has a -u "unbuffered" mode. 18:28:39 <Deewiant> "load minimal amounts of data from the input files and flush the output buffers more often" 18:28:51 <Deewiant> "unbuffered" = "flush buffers more often"? 18:29:02 <Deewiant> I thought "unbuffered" = "no buffers to flush" 18:29:21 <boily> maybe they mean medium-rare buffered? 18:29:33 <fizzie> Deewiant: "Buffer both input and output as minimally as practical," to quote the manual.

It's just two affine transformations. 19:06:55 <fizzie> [0.5 -0.5 0; 0.5 0.5 0] and [-0.5 -0.5 1; 0.5 -0.5 0]. 19:07:08 <boily> fizzie: that reminds me I hacked a javascript IFS generator some time ago. it crashed firefox in a rather spectacular manner. 19:07:46 <zzo38> There is a dragon curve in TeX, too. 19:08:20 <Bike> well, i guess you could do verilog or something, that's probably not what you have in mind though, and you've already complained about things you've wanted in verilog. 19:08:48 <boily> hum. I have an unknown «.sln» file in a temp folder somewhere. what the fungot could it be. 19:08:48 <fungot> boily: madam president, mr salafranca, i understood your excellent report on which everyone agrees is needed at the end of the british government and of suppliers of internet products. they are now forced to recognize that, in drawing up my report. 19:09:27 <fizzie> The end of the British government? Sounds dramatic. 19:09:51 <boily> a Visual Studio Solution file??? Sounds foreboding. 19:10:05 <boily> (seriously, what the hell am I doing with that.) 19:10:24 <Bike> http://www.alislam.org/books/truth/british.html Well 19:10:31 <boily> anyone here who uses Visual Studio? 19:11:10 <zzo38> Bike : An idea is, the program will be written in this Lisp variant, which has the codes to specify translation into a simpler VM, such as checking if it is adding, dividing, etc, and then also features specific to the target VM. 19:11:45 <Bike> i dont unerstand. 19:12:27 <fizzie> boily: Does Visual Studio 6 count? 19:12:49 <boily> no idea. want to check the file? 19:13:07 <fizzie> I've always wanted to. 19:13:24 -!- Taneb has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 19:13:40 -!- Taneb has joined. 19:14:00 <fizzie> (Version 6 didn't have .sln files, though; it's from the versions numbered 20xx, I think.) 19:14:15 <boily> darn. oh well, here goes the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xif4owzeba45a41/electro.sln 19:14:54 <fizzie> Unless they've changed things around, that's not a Visual Studio solution file. 19:15:11 <fizzie> It at least used to be a text-based format. 19:15:22 <fizzie> See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb165951(v=vs.90).aspx for a VS2008 example, for example. 19:16:36 <boily> the file utility only says that it's data. 19:16:41 <zzo38> Bike: I don't really entirely know either. What I mean though is you have some function which reads some intermediate instructions (it might even read itself!) and then compiles it as a add instruction, branch instruction, etc, into a bytecode buffer, which might be used by a secondary optimizer and various other things, pass that result to another function to build the executable file for the VM. 19:17:16 <Bike> oh, so just providing a standard VM to assemble from. Is that like LLVM? 19:17:34 <zzo38> Bike: I suppose a little bit like it, but not really a lot like it. 19:17:44 <Bike> helpful 19:18:23 <boily> zzo38: you're particularly hthian today, if I may say so. 19:18:53 <fizzie> boily: It's a sound file. 19:19:04 <zzo38> For one thing LLVM is for more powerful computers, not domain-specific VM, and lacks some other features; it also has some features which are too strong, and doesn't generally write itself (it isn't Lisp). 19:19:12 <fizzie> boily: A not too shabby-sounding techno song, based on the first five seconds. 19:19:41 <boily> fizzie: oh. what did you use to play it? 19:19:47 <fizzie> boily: I don't know how to determine the real sampling rate, but you can get a listenable version with sox -t raw -e signed-integer -b 16 -c 1 -r 16000 electro.sln something.wav. 19:19:58 <fizzie> It might be accidentally down- or upsampled a bit. 19:20:07 <fizzie> Also mixed to single channel from two, or something. 19:20:41 <fizzie> Asterisk has a linear-pcm file format called "SLINEAR" with a .sln extension. 19:20:46 <boily> AH! 19:20:51 <boily> a remnant from asterisk! 19:20:59 <boily> thanks fizzie! :D 19:21:23 <boily> now I understand why I had an mp3 along with it. those were experiments with Asterisk. 19:21:52 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 19:21:58 <fizzie> How similar does the mp3 sound to that sox output? 19:22:12 <boily> lemme upload the mp3. 19:23:16 <boily> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2023808/Electronic_Attack_-_Salzmanufaktur_-_Minimental.mp3 19:23:19 <zzo38> Some machines I expect can be target can include Z-machine, Nintendo Family Computer, Glulx, Z80, and others. 19:23:35 <AnotherTest> speaking of Z80 19:23:41 <zzo38> (Maybe even TADS) 19:23:58 <zzo38> (and MegaZeux Robotic bytecode) 19:24:00 <AnotherTest> I'm having trouble connecting my TI84+ with my laptop with debian on it 19:24:16 <AnotherTest> TiLP doesn't seem to detect it 19:24:56 <fizzie> boily: Seems that it should've been 8 kHz, which I suppose makes more sense in a telephony context. (Though not *that* much more sense! We live in the age of AMR-WB and all.) 19:27:26 <Bike> hm, maybe in my FPGA class i could try out some fucked up processor architectures, like tree-based 19:28:15 <pikhq> fizzie: Not to mention Opus. 19:28:46 <Bike> zzo38: any suggestions for fucked up architectures? 19:28:46 <pikhq> But alas, 8kHz 8 bit mu-law will be here forever. 19:29:01 <fizzie> Funny fact: "typical" pitch for a male speaker (around 100 Hz) is not part of the frequency spectrum carried by a regular telephone line (300 to 3400 Hz), yet people don't perceive a notable difference in the pitch of a speaker over the phone. 19:29:02 <boily> fizzie: well, Asterisk is a little bit weird when it comes to sampling rates. 19:29:21 <Bike> fizzie: we don't? 19:29:22 <zzo38> Bike: I don't know. 19:29:30 <pikhq> fizzie: That figure seems remarkably low. 19:29:34 <Bike> zzo38: come on, you know all kinds of weird architectures. 19:30:09 <AnotherTest> any suggestions for connecting my ti device :(? 19:30:25 <fizzie> Bike: Well, I mean, you can say it sounds vaguely "low-quality", but that's about all. (Because the harmonics are all in the same place.) 19:30:28 <zzo38> Bike: Look in esolang wiki; some things I have written about and some you can see in other pages I have linked to 19:30:34 <fizzie> pikhq: Which figure? 19:30:34 <boily> AnotherTest: /dev/ttyUSB0 like a manly man? 19:30:46 <Bike> wow, a whole wiki for weird computer stuff. why didn't i think of that! 19:30:47 <pikhq> fizzie: 100 Hz. 19:30:53 <Bike> (seriously thanks i actually wasn't) 19:31:07 <fizzie> pikhq: Well, maybe it's closer to 120 Hz, but it's somewhere around there. 19:31:42 <Bike> fizzie: oh, is it the missing... uh... whatever you call it. where you cut out the "main" (wrong word) tone but all the higher harmonics are there so people hear it illusionarily 19:31:54 <Bike> missing fundamental! 19:32:46 <fizzie> Bike: It's that sort of thing, right. 19:33:01 <pikhq> Especially when you consider that the *low* end of a tenor's range is 130 Hz. 19:33:09 <Bike> oh, it's in the wikipedia article. "Most common telephones cannot reproduce sounds lower than 300 Hz, but a male voice has a fundamental frequency approximately 150 Hz. Because of the missing fundamental effect, male voices still sound male over the telephone.[20]" 19:33:22 <zzo38> Bike: Some of the things in esolang wiki are related to computer hardware, so that is the parts I meant. 19:33:28 <fizzie> Well, you know, speaking is not singing. 19:33:28 -!- yorick has joined. 19:33:35 <Bike> zzo38: right. i'll look, once i get my fpga 19:33:40 <AnotherTest> boily: would it help if I installed libusb 19:33:48 <fizzie> http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/004974.html has a graph where the range seems to be something like 80-140 Hz. 19:33:52 <pikhq> fizzie: No, but the singing pitches roughly correspond to speaking pitch. 19:34:14 <fizzie> (It's about finding a relationship between number of offspring and voice pitch.) 19:34:33 <pikhq> Someone who sings tenor will tend to speak at frequencies somewhere within the tenor range. 19:34:53 <zzo38> Another idea I have is Z-machine interpreter in Verilog (or VHDL). 19:35:23 <fizzie> "Stemple, et al., report a mean fundamental frequency for male voices of 106 Hz with a range from 77 Hz to 482 Hz. For female voices the mean was 193 Hz with a range from 137 Hz to 634 Hz. These averages were based on the production of a sustained vowel /a/." 19:36:30 * pikhq *was* aware that a significant amount of the variation in voices was not because of the fundamental frequency, though... 19:37:04 <zzo38> One thing on esolang wiki, though, is TOGA computer; I think it can be implemented using only a small number of 74xx series ICs. 19:37:10 <fizzie> I've never done any speaker identification stuff, and in speech recognition we try our very best to ignore all this speaker-dependent stuff. :p 19:37:39 <Bike> great, now i want to quantify my voice's timbre. 19:37:49 <Fiora> so is the fundamental frequency, like, the lowest peak frequency in a spectrum chart? 19:37:54 <Bike> not that that's a sensible thing, i guess 19:38:32 <fizzie> Bike: You can probably use Praat to start with -- http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/ -- it's very popular, esp. among the more human-oriented folks. 19:38:36 <pikhq> Fiora: Typically. It's also the one of highest amplitude in a spectrum chart. 19:38:50 <Bike> Fiora: when you perceive a pitch what you're actually hearing is some frequency (the fundamental) along with higher "overtones" at integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. so if you talk at 200 Hz, there are overtones at 400, 600, bla bla. 19:38:59 * Fiora pulls up the audacity spectrum plotter thing and tries it on her voice recordings from before 19:39:00 <zzo38> One of the ICs is a programmable binary counter. 19:39:03 * Fiora finds an "a" 19:39:14 <Bike> that's not a real phoneme!!! 19:39:20 <Fiora> 231hz, 459hz, 701hz, 947hz ... 19:39:32 <Fiora> I guess that's pretty near the mean 19:39:39 <fizzie> Fiora: You might want to invest in a piece of software that can generate a spectrogram, things are very much clearer when you get some time dimensions in there. 19:39:52 <pikhq> sox can. :) 19:39:57 <fizzie> (At least last I looked, Audacity just computes a spectrum from a selected snippet.) 19:40:00 <boily> Bike: “a” is not a phoneme? 19:40:07 <Bike> well, it's a letter. 19:40:07 <Fiora> yeah, I just selected a medium-pitch vowel sound XD 19:40:22 <Fiora> actually I think it was a schwa. 19:40:30 <pikhq> Got a decent bit of use out of it when I was writing a square wave generator for no good reason. 19:40:33 <fizzie> Fiora: If you plot a spectrogram, you can see the formant tracks with some clarity. 19:40:57 <Bike> shit what's a formant 19:41:12 <fizzie> Bike: They're the resonances of the whatsitcalled, the tube. 19:41:21 <Bike> wat 19:41:26 <pikhq> It was particularly silly, too. Additive synthesis and dither. 19:41:32 <boily> Bike: significative peaks that uniquely define a sound. 19:41:33 <Bike> no samantus you may fucking not 19:41:34 <samantus> Bike: Samantus you may fucking not 19:41:36 <Bike> wat 19:41:39 <Bike> haha every time 19:41:41 <Bike> fuck you man 19:41:44 <fizzie> Bike: Vocal tract!

I can't seem to find any via google 22:07:56 <scoofy> you should write one 22:08:04 <FireFly> Good idea 22:08:16 <kmc> one thing to keep in mind is that ~-boxes inherit mutability from their owner 22:08:43 <kmc> basically there are "ownership trees" where the root is either a local variable or an @ / @mut box 22:08:57 <kmc> and so there is let, let mut, @, @mut, but no such thing as ~ vs ~mut 22:10:36 -!- doesthiswork has joined. 22:11:30 <doesthiswork> what happens when we modify peano's axioms so that instead of each natural number having one successor, it has two? 22:12:30 <Bike> which are also natural numbers? 22:13:56 <Bike> so you mean we have 0 \isin N, S(x) \isin N iff x \isin N, T(x) \isin N \iff x \isin N, S(x) != T(x), S(x) = S(y) iff x = y, T(x) = T(y) iff x = y? 22:13:56 <doesthiswork> well I can't use the same name for them as normal natural numbers because it will get confusing 22:14:31 <fizzie> FireFly: https://bitbucket.org/MrDubya/bfps 22:15:02 <FireFly> fizzie: oh.

(Which would be kind of the logical extension from DoubleFuck.) 12:15:51 <AnotherTest> well, fizzie 12:16:04 <AnotherTest> it has 2 dimensions but they're not fully accessible 12:16:06 <AnotherTest> that's how I see it 12:16:49 <oerjan> i'm not sure if there's an arbitrary-dimension variant which affects both code and tape 12:17:15 <AnotherTest> samantus: Does such a brainfuck variant exist? 12:17:15 <samantus> AnotherTest: Variant exist 12:17:25 <AnotherTest> samantus: You're stupid, do you know that? 12:17:25 <samantus> AnotherTest: Do you call it where you need to be a good one 12:18:27 <fizzie> oerjan: Clearly you must define a brainfuck variant where the code lives in an N-dimensional space, and there are M separate L-dimensional "tapes". 12:20:11 <AnotherTest> the the code must be written in N dimensions 12:20:51 <AnotherTest> thus, I conclude that we can only trivially represent 3-dimensional code 12:21:09 <Roujo> Why not Yog-Sothoth? 12:21:33 <AnotherTest> an n-dimensional being can represent (n - 1) dimensional brainfuck code I guess 12:22:03 <fizzie> Shameful fact: there's no standard for Funge-98 source files for dimensionalities larger than three. 12:22:14 <AnotherTest> thus, can 4 dimensional brainfuck code exist in our universe? I think it can, if your source code mutates in time 12:22:28 <fizzie> (In TreFunge-98, form feed increments the z coordinate and resets x and y to zero.) 12:22:32 <Roujo> Self-modifying brainfuck 12:22:56 <fizzie> You don't need to mix time in there, there's nothing preventing you from writing brainfuck code with four spatial dimensions. 12:23:31 <scoofy> allocate 4 dimensional matrix for data tape, and you're set 12:23:35 <AnotherTest> fizzie: I don't understand how one would write 4 dimensional code 12:23:47 <AnotherTest> scoofy: I mean the code itself, not the memory 12:23:48 <scoofy> AnotherTest: simply 12:24:03 <fizzie> AnotherTest: Just define a file format for it. Possibly also write an editor that can do nice 2D projections. 12:24:41 <AnotherTest> fizzie: I guess that would work, yes 12:24:46 <scoofy> for the code, you could have 4D code tape... but if you want to really explore that vector space, you'd need more operators for 4d navigation 12:25:22 <scoofy> f. ex. <> ^v in 2D (left-right, up-down), now add 4 more operators for th e other 2 dimensions 12:25:35 <AnotherTest> fizzie: would you say a parallel universe exists in the same dimensions as us, or in a different one? 12:26:02 <scoofy> it has nothing to do with time-space or universe or parallelity 12:26:04 <fizzie> I wouldn't really say anything about parallel universes, and they don't seem terribly relevant to multidimensional brainfucks. 12:26:31 <scoofy> dimension is a mathematical concept, showing the arity of a vector 12:28:14 <AnotherTest> fizzie: It seems interesting to make this brainfuck variant operate in K different universes as well 12:30:34 <scoofy> 4 dimensions is not enough?? 12:30:41 <scoofy> why you want other universes? :) 12:30:56 <AnotherTest> scoofy: well the original idea was to have n dimensions 12:31:27 <scoofy> you could have 1024 dimensions if you want 12:31:30 <AnotherTest> and I want multiple universes because in a different universe the operations can be defined otherwisze 12:31:34 <scoofy> would require quite much RAM though 12:31:49 <AnotherTest> so there exists as many universes as there are permutations of the instruction set 12:32:08 <AnotherTest> scoofy: no I don't want a fixed size. Just n 12:32:21 <scoofy> char int data_tape[30000][30000][30000][30000]; 12:32:37 <AnotherTest> I suppose you would dynamically allocate storage as needed 12:33:33 <scoofy> actually for this to compile you'd need 17 exabyes or 17,000 petabytes or 17,000,000 terabytes or 17,000,000,000 gigabytes of RAM... 12:33:52 <AnotherTest> that's why you need to dynamically allocate 12:34:33 <scoofy> well that's an interesting problem space, once you start wandering off in 4d 12:34:57 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 12:35:11 <scoofy> or create a subset and limit it to, say tape[100][100][100][100] 12:35:26 <scoofy> that needs only 100 MB of RAM 12:35:58 <AnotherTest> or... you allocate as you need and use practically no RAM until someoene wants to 12:36:07 -!- augur has joined. 12:36:11 <scoofy> or write a little toy 4d brainfuck with tape size 64^4, that fits into 64 kbytes 12:36:36 <scoofy> well you need a pretty sophisticated memory manager for that, i guess.. 12:36:37 <fizzie> 64^4 certainly doesn't fit in 64k. 12:36:43 <scoofy> i meant 16^ 12:36:46 <scoofy> 16^4 12:36:51 <scoofy> which is 65536 12:37:06 <AnotherTest> scoofy: it's called std::vector ;) 12:37:12 <scoofy> good enough for a toy 4d brainfuck :) 12:37:20 <fizzie> Hashmaps are the "standard" implementation strategy for Funge-98 implementations. 12:37:30 <AnotherTest> anyway 12:37:47 <fizzie> Those, of course, don't really care about the dimensionality of the keys. 12:37:48 <AnotherTest> the implementation strategy doesn't seem to be the most important aspect of the problem here 12:37:51 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 12:38:14 <fizzie> I don't know if a N-dimensional brainfuck has so many terribly important aspects. 12:38:15 <scoofy> i guess it's important, since you can 'wander off' anywhere in 4d 12:39:12 <AnotherTest> fizzie: true, it needs to be made more complex 12:39:31 -!- Roujo has set topic: The welcomes of doom | 22nd IOCCC is open: http://ioccc.org/2013/rules.txt | jsvine is doing an esolang survey! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1OvEsdBioOFcXFAiscO34kctUWKs3dWQs5-ZouXdwy9Q/viewform | http://codu.org/logs/_esoteric | <AnotherTest> fizzie: true, it needs to be made more complex. 12:39:46 <Roujo> `relcome complexity 12:39:48 <HackEgo> ​complexity: Welcome to the international hub for esoteric programming language design and deployment!

Bots are only allowed to trigger stuff from human messages and send stuff as bot messages. Therefore, no bot loops ever. As an additional bonus you can easily skip over the low-priority bot messages in a discussion when your IRC client e.g. colors them differently. Unfortunately, certain IRC clients default 16:51:27 <ion> to making a huge show about NOTICEs even though they are the low-priority messages, and not enough users bother to report it as a bug or even to change their configuration, but they do bother to make a huge noise about it on IRC whenever bots do the right thing. So we have ended up in a situation where many bots just use PRIVMSG and have nasty hacks that may or may not work to prevent bot loops. 16:51:28 <myndzi> Roujo: i presume he's referring to automated responses should be notices and requests that trigger them should be privmsg 16:51:49 <fizzie> ion: TL;DR hth 16:52:00 <zzo38> ion: And I suggest actually following the RFC instead 16:52:09 <zzo38> If your client is broken then you need to get a different client 16:52:10 <Roujo> ion: myndzi: zzo38: Nice, nice.

And Wikipedia seems to confirm that's the ML answer. 20:01:47 <boily> kmc: I went from Lab with D65 as the white point to sRGB. 20:02:49 <boily> the end effect may not be perfect, but the eyehurt is there. 20:03:05 <Vorpal> boily, Shouldn't you check the output device gamut to see if you can do better? 20:03:11 -!- sacje has joined. 20:03:39 <Vorpal> boily, I have a wide gamut monitor at work for example. Pretty pointless since I work as a developer, but whatever 20:04:05 <Vorpal> Or wait, that was kmc who was doing the chose-color thingy? 20:04:23 <fizzie> Vorpal: Um, well. It determines the hue first (the top-middle plot is the von Mises-Fisher pdf), and then the bottom-middle part is the (L,S) plane (with H=the mean hue) and the circles are some isolines of the best Gaussian fit of the (L,S) samples of the image, probably at 1 and 2 standard deviations. 20:04:34 <boily> Vorpal: kmc is doing the useful colour thingy. all I'm having is eyestrain and bad colourschemes. 20:04:45 <Vorpal> boily, why? 20:04:51 <boily> Vorpal: cause I can. 20:05:00 <Vorpal> fizzie, ah 20:05:03 <Vorpal> boily, ah 20:05:15 <boily> besides, that's not too bad if I don't touch background colours. 20:05:17 <fizzie> olsner: Apparently we've become more welcoming. 20:05:44 <fizzie> olsner: I don't think it counts relcomes if a color-change hits in the middle of the word "welcome", though. 20:06:32 <Vorpal> fizzie, why doesn't gcolor have a web API? 20:06:45 <Vorpal> or web gui rather 20:06:56 <fizzie> Vorpal: Google didn't have a proper image search API when I was making it. (I'm not sure if they do now?) 20:07:06 <boily> hm. according to the fizziegraphs, I am verbose. 20:07:08 <fizzie> I didn't want to encourage ugly scraping. 20:07:10 <Vorpal> ah 20:07:37 <fizzie> "Important: The Google Image Search API has been officially deprecated as of May 26, 2011. It will continue to work as per our deprecation policy, but the number of requests you may make per day may be limited. We encourage you to upgrade to the Custom Search API, which now supports image search." 20:07:54 <Vorpal> Well then, just use that? 20:08:07 <fizzie> I guess theoretically speaking I could change the fcolor "GUI" to support both. 20:08:19 <zzo38> My idea of difficulty menu in MUD may be like this: http://sprunge.us/IiME 20:08:25 <fizzie> Possibly there's not enough interest. 20:08:38 <zzo38> Do you like this kind of ideas?

I would guess yes? 19:07:03 <kmc> yes 19:07:16 <Vorpal> Also what do you do when you would need to move code to fit in that extra null check? 19:07:36 <Vorpal> Just make the function call a different function instead? 19:07:41 <Vorpal> And put all the code there? 19:08:18 <kmc> we stop execution on all cores using stop_machine() and also walk the kernel stack of every process to make sure none of the functions to be patched are currently active 19:08:37 <elliott> so do oracle still maintain the ksplice functionality for their linux thing 19:08:37 <kmc> Vorpal: patching a function is always accomplished by overwriting the beginning of the function with a jump to new code 19:08:48 <elliott> or was it an ~acquihire~ 19:08:57 <kmc> the new code is loaded as part of the update, by loading a kernel module in the ordinary way 19:08:58 <Vorpal> kmc, ah 19:09:00 <kmc> elliott: yep they do it 19:09:10 <elliott> (I know the ksplice website claims it's part of Oracle Linux now but it also hasn't been updated since 2011 and I don't trust anything they say) 19:09:11 <kmc> elliott: it's a big deal for them because it's like the only feature Oracle Linux has that Red Hat doesn't 19:09:16 <elliott> heh 19:09:31 <shachaf> kmc: what about them 19:09:31 <Vorpal> kmc, so redhat no longer get ksplices then? 19:09:46 <kmc> shachaf: do you approve 19:09:49 <kmc> Vorpal: correct 19:09:54 <Vorpal> kmc, couldn't they do it on their own, or is it patented or something silly like that? 19:09:56 <kmc> except legacy customers of ksplice maybe 19:10:07 <kmc> Vorpal: they could but they never did 19:10:11 <Vorpal> Huh 19:10:18 <elliott> well it's presumably a ton of work 19:10:19 <kmc> the (old version of) core ksplice tools are open source 19:10:22 <shachaf> not sure 19:10:28 <Vorpal> kmc, the new ones aren't? 19:10:30 <kmc> but yes it's a ton of work and we had a ton of internal tools to help us do it 19:10:37 <Vorpal> Hm 19:10:38 <elliott> and I suspect Red Hat can do other things to make more money that are less work 19:10:42 <kmc> Vorpal: the public repositories haven't seen updates in quite a while 19:10:44 <Vorpal> True 19:10:52 <elliott> instead of duplicating something complicated enough to be its own company :P 19:10:54 <kmc> elliott: yeah like selling enterprise Java middleware, whatever the fuck that is 19:11:01 <Vorpal> elliott, good point 19:11:11 <kmc> well Red Hat is huge and Ksplice was tiny so shrug 19:11:13 <kmc> they could do it 19:11:18 <kmc> Red Hat has many of the top kernel people in the world 19:11:48 <kmc> (so does Oracle) 19:12:11 <elliott> sure 19:12:23 <Vorpal> Who pays Torvalds btw? 19:12:29 <Vorpal> Linux Foundation thingy still? 19:12:38 <kmc> I'm not sure 19:12:45 <kmc> I don't care enough to Google it for you 19:12:55 * Vorpal googles it 19:12:56 <elliott> "Running Red Hat Enterprise Linux? Get a taste of one of the many features Oracle Linux Premier Support has to offer with our free 30-day Ksplice trial for RHEL systems." 19:13:04 <elliott> uh can you pay for it if you're on RHEL 19:13:11 <elliott> or do they just say "ok, now switch to Oracle Linux" 19:13:14 <kmc> yeah you can pay for Oracle support for RHEL 19:13:21 <kmc> since they're basically the same thing ;P 19:13:22 <kmc> but you should read the Ksplice paper 19:13:27 <elliott> kmc: uh looks like no 19:13:29 <elliott> When your trial ends, we'd be happy to help you make the switch to Oracle Linux Premier Support so you can enjoy Ksplice for as long as you want. 19:13:37 <Vorpal> Lol 19:13:52 <kmc> I think the coolest part of the Ksplice tech is the way we use a dynamic un-linker to find non-exported things (to patch them or refer to them from new code) 19:13:54 <elliott> "here is a free trial for a single feature of our operating system; once it's over we'll help you switch the entire thing" 19:14:11 <kmc> elliott: yeah well like I said, it's the only different feature ;) 19:14:31 <kmc> lunch, brb 19:24:58 -!- asie has quit (Quit: My MacBook Pro has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz...). 19:41:09 <fizzie> Vorpal: I don't. But snapshots are certainly a possibility. 19:42:03 <Vorpal> I don't get the point of ubuntu vs. kubuntu vs. xubuntu... It just seems like a different default package selection + different logo package to me 19:42:16 <Vorpal> Or have I missed something? 19:42:48 -!- dan200 has changed nick to ^v. 19:43:03 -!- aloril has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds). 19:44:33 <oerjan> it's all due to bantu grammar, really. hth. 19:47:08 -!- MindlessDrone has quit (Quit: MindlessDrone). 19:47:28 <boily> that must be one of the best reasons to explain anything I have ever seen. when I'll have kids, I'll use that one profusely :D 19:47:52 <kmc> assbuntu 19:48:26 <Vorpal> boily, heh 19:49:18 <Vorpal> I don't think any other distro makes different versions based on the DE. Not that I know of at least 19:49:59 <Vorpal> It is usually, "select whichever DE the fuck you want" during the installer. Or defaults to one and then easily lets you change after 19:50:11 * Vorpal is running MATE on Debian atm for example. 19:51:18 <boily> am I the only fluxboxer left on the planet? 19:52:03 <Vorpal> I tried it, but I never found it to be the best alternative at the time. 19:52:07 <fizzie> Vorpal: Mint, I think, technically has "Linux Mint N Xfce", "Linux Mint N KDE", etc. -- where N is the version number -- as different versions. 19:52:21 <fizzie> Not that there's probably any more difference between them than Xubuntu/etc. 19:52:26 <Vorpal> These days I use xfce or MATE, depending on the system specs 19:52:39 <Vorpal> fizzie, right 19:52:44 <fizzie> I think I used two "box" wm's. 19:53:02 <fizzie> Is "openbox" a window manager? 19:53:08 <fizzie> Apparently so. I think I've used it. 19:53:19 <fizzie> (Must've made a great impression.) 19:53:34 <boily> openbox is nice, except for the horrendous XML part. 19:53:37 <fizzie> I guess the other box might've been fluxbox for all I know. 19:53:40 <Vorpal> Well I started on KDE 2 (or early 3? I don't remember, whatever Red Hat 5 shipped with), then a bit of KDE 3 followed by Gnome 2. Followed by Xfce, followed by MATE 19:53:59 <fizzie> I started on fvwm95 and I'm not ashamed at all. (That might be a bit of a lie.) 19:54:20 <Vorpal> Well technically I believe I started on twm, trying to figure out what the hell was going wrong at the time 19:54:33 <Vorpal> Which wasn't easy since I was a newbie at that point 19:54:46 <boily> I started on KDE2 I think (whatever Mandrake had ten years ago), then hopped among the whole bunch like an addict trying to get high on something new and dubious. 19:55:00 <fizzie> fvwm95 wasn't too hard to figure out as a new user, unsurprisingly. 19:55:04 <boily> wm2 left a good impression. sadly, it was a *tad* underpowered. 19:55:20 <Vorpal> fizzie, isn't that win9x-inspired or something? 19:55:24 <Vorpal> Or is that LXDE? 19:55:32 <boily> fvwm is neat, but to have a successful configuration file you need to spend at least 25 hours per day on it. 19:55:38 <fizzie> It's a win9x-inspired variant of fvwm. 19:55:45 <Vorpal> boily, never used wm2, never heard of it. What is it about? 19:55:47 <boily> Vorpal: I feel icewm is the most windowsian of them all. 19:55:47 <fizzie> Then I tried out Enlightenment but my computer wasn't fast enough to run it. 19:56:00 <fizzie> (Then I just used WindowMaker for years.) 19:56:19 -!- aloril has joined. 19:56:24 <boily> Vorpal: I think you can still compile it, but you may have some difficulties as it was originally for X10 or somesuch. 19:56:25 <Vorpal> Enlightenment, the bling of the bling 19:56:36 <Vorpal> boily, hah 19:56:39 <boily> Vorpal: http://xwinman.org/wm2.php 19:57:11 <boily> fizzie: I never got the hang of windowmaker. always got confused by that papercornerclip thingie. 19:57:37 <fizzie> boily: I remember the thingie, but not really much about the thingie. 19:57:50 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 19:57:51 <fizzie> You could dock other little squares next to it or something. 19:57:58 <fizzie> At least I seem to recall there was a row of squares. 20:00:14 -!- ^v has changed nick to dan200. 20:02:01 <fizzie> an 20:02:10 <fizzie> Uh, disregard that. 20:02:21 <boily> fizzie: your becoming as clear and explicit as I am. I don't think that's a good thing. please remain understandable. 20:02:31 <boily> ~duck an 20:02:31 <metasepia> The form of a used before words beginning with a vowel or with an unpronounced h: an elephant; an hour. 20:02:40 <fizzie> Oh, it was just clumsy fingers. 20:02:51 <boily> s/your/you're/ 20:02:59 <fizzie> As far as small keyboards go, this one is okay (personal opinion alert), but it's still small. 20:03:28 <fizzie> (I was aiming for ^a-n, actually.) 20:03:42 <boily> I'm looking for a nice and compact keyboard online, but everywhere I looked it was at least a hundred bucks to get an electro-mechanical piece of plastic. 20:03:49 <boily> ~duck ^a-n 20:03:49 <metasepia> --- No relevant information 20:04:50 <fizzie> boily: This is the Microsoft Wedge; but it's a small Bluetooth keyboard, which might well not be what you're looking for. 20:05:13 <fizzie> (I'm just using it with the Nexus 7 on trips.) 20:05:28 <boily> anything that has keys, no keypad, and a long tracking with quality keys. 20:06:00 <fizzie> Well, it's got the first two. 20:06:04 <boily> oh, and that I can play crawl on it. no weird key layout. 20:06:22 <fizzie> The cursor keys on this (and too many others) are slightly weird. 20:06:38 <boily> not a problem. I vimified everything on my machine a long time ago. 20:06:49 <fizzie> It's this [left][half-height up-and-down keys][right] kind of arrangement. 20:06:52 <boily> my cursor keys are gathering dust (as is the unused keypad) 20:07:16 <fizzie> It has this "keyboard cover turns into a tablet stand" feature which happens to fit the Nexus 7 (in portrait mode) quite nicely. 20:07:25 <olsner> ooh, xwinman.org was nice, there are all those window managers I've used and forgotten! 20:07:33 <fizzie> I don't know if I'd buy this for a general-purpose keyboard, though. 20:08:22 <boily> some cow orkers use a typematrix. I tried one for about an hour. the feeling of unfengshuiness that emanated from that horror... bletch! 20:08:39 <boily> I mean. having your 'b' key divorced from your 'n' key. the horror! 20:08:49 <boily> (I am snob and bourgeois and I like that.) 20:09:43 -!- TodPunk has quit (Quit: This is me, signing off. Probably rebooting or something.). 20:10:16 <fizzie> (I have to go to a funeral that's like 530-or-so kilometres from where I live, and it's at noon tomorrow, so we drove here tonight because leaving at something like 3-4am, driving for six-seven hours, going to a funeral, then driving back home the same day didn't sound very appealing.) 20:10:47 <fizzie> (Train schedules were a bit iffy.) 20:11:13 -!- augur has joined. 20:14:10 <Vorpal> fuck youtube. It is cutting videos short all the time for me nowdays. 20:14:25 <Vorpal> It is so bad that I stopped watching in my browser, now I use a script calling youtube-dl in a loop until the return code is 0, then watch in vlc 20:14:43 <Vorpal> atm, I have a terminal with maybe 10 or so lines like: ERROR: content too short (expected 263738018 bytes and served 15169721) 20:16:52 <fizzie> Bah: I ran this Android demo, and now I've got the kewlers middle-finger logo stuck in the alt-tab menu; it's like this tablet is giving me the finger. 20:17:20 <fizzie> Hm, or maybe the alt-tab menu follows the app history whateveritscalled dealie, where you can drag things off. 20:17:34 <fizzie> Yay, it does. 20:17:35 <Vorpal> fizzie, alt-tab on a tablet? What? 20:18:00 <fizzie> Vorpal: I'm using it with an external keyboard. (See above for details, though they're not especially interesting.) 20:18:16 <Vorpal> Ah, I never tried alt-tab on my phone 20:18:26 <Vorpal> I should, I have an USB OTG cable 20:18:45 <olsner> fizzie: oh, alt-tab is mapped to the thingy? or did you have to add an app for that? 20:18:56 <fizzie> olsner: I didn't add anything, it was already there. 20:19:03 <fizzie> olsner: It's a different UI to it, though. 20:19:15 <fizzie> It only shows the last eight entries, and it's very much like the win9x alt-tab menu. 20:19:40 <fizzie> (For the record, this is a stock Android 4.2.2.) 20:20:35 <Vorpal> Oh indeed, cool 20:20:55 <Vorpal> fizzie, Last 4 for me on my phone 20:21:24 <Vorpal> wait, no, last 8 20:21:28 <Vorpal> it goes to 2 rows 20:23:58 <fizzie> Sounds very similar. 20:26:38 <fizzie> (I also found it by accident, basically thought "it would be nice to be able to use something like alt-tab to switch programs" "hmm" "I guess I could try it".) 20:27:15 <Vorpal> fizzie, how do you get non-US layout? 20:27:50 <fizzie> I don't know, this worked with its printed (Finnish) layout without doing anything. 20:27:57 <fizzie> It's a Bluetooth and not a USB keyboard, though. 20:28:01 <Vorpal> USB? 20:28:07 <Vorpal> Or BT? 20:28:35 <Vorpal> Hm can't get past the pattern lock with the keyboard XD 20:28:52 <fizzie> Settings / Language and Input seems to have a "Physical keyboard" entry for it, at least. 20:29:12 <Vorpal> Really? 20:29:19 <Vorpal> which android version? 20:29:23 <Vorpal> CM10.1 here 20:29:28 <fizzie> Stock 4.2.2. 20:29:42 <Vorpal> Stock as in Nexus? 20:29:45 <fizzie> Yes. 20:29:53 <fizzie> (It's a Nexus 7.) 20:30:00 <fizzie> (And the keyboard was BT, if you missed that.) 20:30:05 <Vorpal> Isn't Nexus 7 on 4.3 now? 20:30:17 <fizzie> It is, but I haven't bothered to update yet. 20:30:22 <Vorpal> Ah 20:30:25 <Vorpal> Rooted? 20:30:27 <fizzie> (Also I've heard rumours there's worse battery life on 4.3.) 20:30:31 <fizzie> Yes. 20:33:47 <elliott> does anyone know how to put scissor switch keycaps back on properly 20:34:23 <elliott> this is especially annoying because only half of it came off and taking off the other half looks unwise :/ 20:34:25 <Vorpal> elliott, you need to hook them on from one end usually and then press down the other end to clip that end on 20:34:32 <elliott> it's hooked at one end 20:34:41 <elliott> pressing down from the other end not so successful 20:34:47 <fizzie> I've always understood the correct answer is "with great difficulty". 20:34:55 <elliott> maybe I can take a picture 20:35:21 <Vorpal> elliott, well if it was the wrong end that got lose you might need to take it off entirely and put it back 20:35:23 <fizzie> (Though what Vorpal described more or less worked on the one keyboard where I had to do it.) 20:35:38 <Vorpal> the method I described worked fine on my old ibook and also my thinkpad 20:35:46 <elliott> the other end looks pretty scarily attached (as in I am not sure I could reattach it if it came off) 20:35:49 <Vorpal> On the ibook I took them off once to clean the bloody thing 20:35:50 <elliott> will try to take a picture later 20:36:24 <Vorpal> elliott, The spacebar and possibly some other big keys usually have a metal bar under as well that need to hook into some slots 20:36:49 <fizzie> The space bar in my iBook cracked so that there was this long diagonal cut in it, it was kind of weird. 20:36:56 <fizzie> Never had that happen to a key before. 20:36:58 <Vorpal> ouch 20:37:22 <fizzie> It didn't go all the way from top-to-bottom, there was just this \ there. 20:37:33 <Vorpal> I imagine it would be much harder to deattach or reattach keys if you have those spaced keys with stuff inbetween? 20:37:33 <elliott> oh nice, it looks like I can have either end connected 20:37:43 <elliott> if I push it it switches which end is connected, if I pull it it goes back 20:37:45 <elliott> but never both 20:37:50 <Vorpal> elliott, lol what 20:38:11 -!- nooodl has joined. 20:38:22 <Vorpal> elliott, anyway it is usually one end that have the hooks (the upper in both cases that I had), and the other end that has the clip on bit 20:38:23 <elliott> uh is there a simple way to take photos on Windows so I can show this 20:38:35 <Vorpal> elliott, ? 20:38:41 <Vorpal> on windows phone? 20:38:44 <Vorpal> I'd assume so 20:38:46 <elliott> ... 20:38:54 <Vorpal> Or what are you talking about 20:38:57 <elliott> did you know there is a computer operating system by Microsoft Corporation called Windows 20:39:13 <Vorpal> You can't easily take photos with a fixed built in web cam I'd assume 20:39:21 <Vorpal> or do you have a freestanding one? 20:39:31 <boily> ~duck lemur 20:39:31 <metasepia> lemur definition: any of various arboreal chiefly nocturnal prosimian primates (superfamily Lemuroidea) that were formerly widespread but are now largely confined to Madagascar and that usually have a longish muzzle, large eyes, very soft woolly fur, and a long furry tail. 20:39:43 <elliott> um, why not? 20:39:45 <elliott> I have the drivers for it 20:39:49 <elliott> Flash stuff can access it 20:40:21 <Vorpal> elliott, If it is fixed to the top of the screen, I would doubt it can catch the keyboard (unless it is not the built in keyboard in the laptop 20:40:31 <elliott> it's an external keyboard 20:40:36 <Vorpal> ah makes sense then 20:40:37 <elliott> the built in one is also broken 20:41:02 <Vorpal> elliott, anyway we would probably need a high quality macro to make out the details of those tiny little switches 20:41:46 <Vorpal> Anyway I don't know how to take a photo with the webcam 20:42:11 <fizzie> You can open a Skype chat and ask the other end to take a screenshot. :p 20:42:19 <Vorpal> Also I need to sleep. Going to work tomorrow. Getting in the car at around 06:50. 20:42:30 <Vorpal> Good nighyt 20:42:32 <Vorpal> night* 20:42:47 <fizzie> I should probably sleep too, on account of the aforementioned funeral. 20:42:47 <kmc> good night Vorpal 20:42:58 <Vorpal> fizzie, ouch what happened? 20:43:03 <Vorpal> well good night 20:43:17 <Vorpal> And condolences and so on 20:43:56 <fizzie> Vorpal: It was something kind of expected -- dying at the age of 87 doesn't quite count as a life tragically cut short -- so we're not all that shocked about it. 20:44:05 <boily> good fizzienight. 20:44:06 <Vorpal> Ah good 20:44:12 <fizzie> But it would still probably be bad form to drop the coffin out of tiredness or something. 20:44:25 <Vorpal> fizzie, Quite, no urn? 20:44:25 <elliott> does this photo-taking program really want to run fullscreen 20:44:30 <fizzie> (I'll have to be part of the people carrying the thing.) 20:45:14 <fizzie> Vorpal: There was a regular gravestone apparently already waiting. 20:45:25 <fizzie> (Where her husband is buried.) 20:45:34 <Vorpal> You need special gravestone for urn burial? 20:45:35 <Vorpal> what 20:45:44 <elliott> nice 20:45:47 <elliott> accidentally removed the key 20:45:52 <elliott> while trying to hold it to take a picture 20:45:58 <fizzie> No, I mean, there was a gravestone at the regular cemetery, so I guess she wanted to be buried there. 20:46:26 <fizzie> (I think urns get deposited in a different place? I don't know, I haven't killed... I mean, been in very many funerals.) 20:46:36 <Vorpal> Okay, but don't they support cremation at the regular cemetery? 20:46:40 <elliott> okay so are you supposed toattach it from the bottom or the top 20:46:52 <elliott> fizzie: (I think Vorpal is doing the moralising thing.) 20:46:58 <Vorpal> elliott, ah, on my keyboard it is top to bottom I believe 20:47:07 -!- asie has joined. 20:47:50 <Vorpal> elliott, no, I'm just confused, as I never heard of anyone not getting cremated these days. I thought it was pretty rare to skip that. Or is that just a Swedish thing? 20:48:27 <fizzie> Vorpal: I didn't really have much to do with this side of the thing. But I was under the impression that they only bury regular coffins in the "standard" cemetery spots, and have a different place for urns. 20:48:38 <fizzie> And cremation certainly isn't the default in Finland. 20:48:38 <Vorpal> Maybe 20:48:55 <Vorpal> Interesting how customs differ between cultures 20:49:03 <Vorpal> But I guess then that is what makes a culture 20:49:06 <elliott> uh I hope I haven't broken this 20:49:21 <Bike> europe is weird 20:49:22 <Vorpal> elliott, I found them fairly easy to reattach 20:49:32 <Vorpal> Bike, how so? 20:49:35 <fizzie> "Scandinavian countries' cremation rate vary from Finland's and Norway's 36% to Sweden's 70% and Denmark's 76%." 20:49:53 <boily> ain't Estonia also in Scandinavia? 20:50:10 <Bike> Vorpal: less than half of dead here are cremated 20:50:10 <olsner> nope 20:50:10 <fizzie> boily: Haven't you read satw?

But some do count us as part of Scandinavia too. 20:53:37 <Vorpal> elliott, you could use an on-screen keyboard meanwhile? 20:53:43 <elliott> ha ha 20:53:46 <fizzie> Even though we're not all that much on the Scandinavian Peninsula, except maybe the northern bit. 20:54:07 <Vorpal> elliott, I'm sure that is what Windows 9 will use, judging by the way of windows 8 20:54:08 <elliott> okay yeah, time to just get used to my f key being slightly fucked for now I guess 20:54:16 <Phantom_Hoover> was satw right about scotland getting a free pass into the whole nordic thing 20:54:24 <Bike> slightly ducked 4 now 20:54:30 <Vorpal> elliott, what keyboard model (so I can avoid?) 20:54:36 <Phantom_Hoover> i'm not voting yes on a referendum that puts me in a room with the swedes 20:54:45 <Vorpal> s/\?)/)?/ 20:54:53 <boily> itertools.groupby() is completely brain damaged. 20:54:56 <Bike> i think i'd prefer a room with swedes to a room with england 20:54:57 <Bike> maybe 20:55:16 <Phantom_Hoover> worst decision ever 20:55:29 <elliott> Vorpal: uh this is probably more me than the keyboard 20:55:36 <elliott> but it's some Kensington scissor-switch thing that I doubt you'd buy anyway 20:55:40 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: leaving). 20:55:42 <Vorpal> elliott, how fucking hard do you hit those keys!? 20:56:04 <elliott> I don't, I just habitually poke my fingers in the gaps 20:56:10 <Vorpal> oh 20:56:16 <Vorpal> that is pretty stupid yes 20:57:01 <Vorpal> elliott, my old keyboard lasted for.... 11 years?

Still, there are many rules I would change, one is that a token can be any object. 02:53:41 <zzo38> I would do it like this: The state based effect causing tokens outside of play zone ceasing to exist would be removed, and instead, they cease to exist due to lacking an initial state. Also, copies of spells are tokens. 02:53:57 <zzo38> This seem more logical to me. 02:54:32 <zzo38> What do you think of it? 02:55:05 <Bike> basically nothing since i don't play mtg 02:55:58 <zzo38> I would also remove the state based effects about auras/equipments that are also creatures, and about losing due to run out of cards to draw; instead, the meaning of "draw a card" becomes: If there is a card in your draw pile, put the top one into your hand, otherwise you lose the game. 02:56:29 <Bike> how is that different from running out of cars to draw making you lose 02:57:45 <zzo38> Bike: It would rarely make a difference. However, there are a few rare circumstances where it might differ, for example if you have an effect that causes damage and you draw a card together, then if you have no cards to draw then you lose, since the losing due to life total happens later because it is a state based effect. 02:59:02 <coppro> zzo38: losing due to card draw is also a state based action 02:59:17 <zzo38> coppro: Yes I know. However, this is a rule I would change so that it isn't. 02:59:25 <zzo38> coppro: There are many rules I would change. 03:15:09 -!- doesthiswork has quit (Quit: Leaving.). 03:22:45 -!- mnoqy has joined. 04:03:12 -!- Bike_ has joined. 04:03:17 -!- Bike has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 04:03:33 -!- Bike_ has changed nick to Bike. 05:35:53 <Sgeo> Why am I watching Mulan right now? 05:36:36 <coppro> I don't know.

13:51:13 <oerjan> not sure what the whichwrap part does 13:51:17 <boily> elliott: when complaining, don't meta-complain, ere your enter an infinite loop of Ultimate Mutual Kvetching. 13:51:25 <elliott> I don't see why 13:51:31 <oerjan> oh wait those are separate options 13:51:41 <boily> oerjan: no idea here neither. it's there, it's feng shui, it must be kept. 13:51:42 <elliott> I certainly don't look at my keyboard when using vim, though I have no strong attachment to it as an editor 13:51:56 <Koen_> elliott: well it's a text editor but by default you are not in text editing mode 13:52:44 -!- Bike has joined. 13:53:26 <boily> Bike: what is your opinion on insertion? 13:53:36 <Bike> context-dependent 13:53:43 <elliott> Koen_: it's called insert mode. 13:53:51 <Koen_> okay 13:53:58 <Koen_> so it's not even a text editing more 13:54:03 <Koen_> mode* 13:54:12 <elliott> insertion is not even editing. normal mode has more tools to actually edit existing text 13:54:13 <oerjan> boily: oh it's to fix a similar annoyingness of the <>[] commands i guess 13:54:29 <Koen_> but in normal mode you can't really type text 13:54:37 <Koen_> which is what I wanna do when I'm using a text editor 13:54:52 <Bike> oh, are you arguing about vim 13:55:04 <boily> oerjan: neat. didn't know about wrapping <>. I guess I prefer the “get stuck at the line beginning” variant, as I usually < and > very aggressively. 13:55:07 <oerjan> boily: um wait it's not the commands but the arrow keys 13:55:17 <oerjan> they're just encoded that way in the option 13:55:18 <boily> oerjan: egbeh? 13:55:44 <oerjan> boily: by default left and right arrow don't wrap at eol 13:55:51 <Koen_> I like all those fancy instructions to delete one word or one line or 13 characters but it seems wrong that you're not allowed to do what you usually do in a text editor 13:55:59 <boily> oerjan: as in, the physical keys? 13:56:11 <oerjan> boily: yes 13:57:27 <elliott> thankfully, other editors (insertors?) exist 13:57:40 <boily> `? insertor 13:57:43 <Koen_> elliott: and frankly I think if I spent enough time coming up with a satisfying .vimrc I'd probably be more efficient using vim than emacs but still some things in it seem so ridiculous to me 13:57:45 <HackEgo> insertor? ¯\(°_o)/¯ 13:57:45 <myndzi> | 13:57:45 <myndzi> o/`¯º 13:59:08 <oerjan> Koen_: there is a vim mode to keep you mostly in insert mode. then you have to add a prefix for each normal mode command though iirc 13:59:17 <oerjan> *vim setting 13:59:51 <boily> Koen_: when in insert mode, you can Alt-* to get the normal mode command. 14:00:20 <boily> (fsvo of *) 14:00:34 <oerjan> i vaguely thought it was Ctrl-O 14:01:25 <boily> well, Ctrl-O is cleaner, but it just happens that in a terminal to Alt- something is the same as Escape, then the something. 14:02:44 <oerjan> oh. that may not even be the case in windows. 14:03:04 <boily> Koen_: you're using which OS? 14:03:18 <Koen_> mac os x 14:03:24 <Koen_> snow leopard I reckon 14:03:43 <oerjan> boily: the thing is Ctrl-O automatically returns you to insert mode after the command 14:05:14 <boily> Koen_: hm. I never vimmed on a mac. how does it feel? 14:05:31 <Koen_> awkward 14:05:33 <Koen_> and ridiculous 14:05:38 <Koen_> I may not be very objective 14:05:50 <boily> oerjan: Ctrl-O is the official “temporarily jump back to normality”. Alt- is the ugly aquatic bird. 14:06:10 <boily> Koen_: you can not be objective about a text editor. it goes with the territory. 14:06:37 <oerjan> boily: but if Alt-* is equivalent to Esc * then it _wouldn't_ be temporary. 14:08:30 <boily> I think the lesson to be extracted from that is that aquatic birds aren't temporary, but the objectivity of Ctrl-O is absolute. 14:08:45 <oerjan> OKAY 14:12:48 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: Later hth). 14:13:19 <Roujo> boily: I support and do so 14:13:55 <elliott> @tell oerjan I frown upon this loophole 14:13:55 <lambdabot> Consider it noted. 14:14:08 <Bike> i join in frowning 14:14:18 <boily> elliott: what you frowning at? 14:15:11 <boily> @tell oerjan why are you being frowned at? 14:15:11 <lambdabot> Consider it noted. 14:15:58 <Bike> "hth" in the /quit 14:18:41 -!- ^v has changed nick to dan200. 14:20:04 <boily> did we already relcome ggherdov? 14:20:19 <Bike> probably 14:25:31 -!- Taneb has joined. 14:32:00 -!- yorick has joined. 15:05:50 -!- sebbu has joined. 15:18:08 <shachaf> `olist (914) 15:18:10 <HackEgo> olist (914): shachaf oerjan Sgeo FireFly 15:20:42 <Roujo> Ooooh 15:20:56 <Roujo> `olist (100) 15:20:57 <HackEgo> olist (100): shachaf oerjan Sgeo FireFly 15:21:05 <shachaf> ? 15:21:10 <Roujo> I have no idea what this is 15:21:11 <Bike> wow roujo why are you ruining the sanctity of the list system. 15:21:15 <Bike> `? olist 15:21:17 <HackEgo> Update notification for the webcomic Order of the Stick. 15:21:20 <Roujo> Ahh 15:21:21 <Roujo> Nice 15:21:24 <shachaf> Don't do that. 15:22:03 <Roujo> Sorry, I didn't think it'd break something 15:22:17 <Bike> the only think you've broken is our hearts. 15:22:36 <shachaf> Bike: hey i was typing that :'( 15:22:36 <Roujo> (so far) 15:33:16 <Bike> how is haskell's i/o organized? like, i assume you can have parsec or whatever deal about the same with a file or with just a string? 15:33:27 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined. 15:33:48 <Bike> would you just pass a lazy string or is there something else, is what i'm asking, i guess 15:34:37 <elliott> it is less nice than you are expecting 15:34:56 <Bike> i'm not really expecting anything. i/o fucking sucks 15:35:10 <elliott> well, you made an assumption 15:35:15 <elliott> it's sort of true but not in any nice way you might be hoping 15:35:25 <Bike> is my assumption that parsec works on both wrong? 15:35:33 <Bike> works on both without some horrible nastiness, anyway 15:36:02 <Bike> just wondering if there's something like CL (oh no) streams or scheme ports or whatever 15:36:33 <elliott> there's about five competing alternatives to fill that need 15:36:43 <elliott> parsec supports none of them but it's flexible enough to feed incrementally from a file with a bit of work, I think. 15:36:43 <Bike> lol cool. 15:37:04 <Bike> are there seven packages putting the five alternatives into unifying monads 15:39:05 <Bike> oh and as long as i'm mentioning parsec, how does the whole language derivative thing work? what multiplication and addition operations do you use to show leibniz's identity? bla bla 15:39:06 <elliott> unifying monads... 15:39:20 <Bike> hey elliott fuck u 15:40:10 <Bike> i was thinking of the time i asked about error handling and kmc or somebody pointed out a couple different things that tried to genericize error handling 15:40:24 <Bike> believe there's a "clevr quote" on this subject 15:41:47 <Bike> MonadError, that was it 15:47:43 <shachaf> @quote Bike 15:47:44 <lambdabot> jjuggle says: I was riding around town and this cop on patrol on a bike rode up next to me and said, "There's always a show off."

"actually we're kinda just saying you're racist" 01:00:23 <Phantom_Hoover> so like i'm pretty sure that question's going to classify the objectivist line as 'economic left' 01:00:33 <Bike> Phantom_Hoover: that sounds like a different kind of fraud... 01:00:50 <Bike> " it consists, in essence, of one man receiving the material values, goods or services of another, then refusing to pay for them" doesn't sound like lying 01:00:59 <Phantom_Hoover> "Fraud involves a similarly indirect use of force: it consists of obtaining material values without their owner’s consent, under false pretenses or false promises." 01:01:00 <Bike> except in an extremely bizarre sense of "material" i guess? 01:01:34 <Bike> i mean basically in rand's world the state should only exist to enforce contracts (as in actual contracts, not "the social contract" or whatever) 01:01:37 <Phantom_Hoover> that sounds like 'misleading someone into performing some exchange with you' 01:02:08 <Phantom_Hoover> Bike, yeah; and it seems to me like she thought fraud falls within that remit 01:02:10 <Bike> you know what, can we just agree that neither of us want to think too deeply about rand? because i really don't 01:02:20 <Bike> i mean it's definitely a dumb question. 01:03:14 <Phantom_Hoover> well... all i'm trying to say here is that i think the compass is slanted towards 'left-libertarian', not right 01:03:17 <kmc> a million randian digits with 100000 normal deviates 01:03:37 <Bike> honestly, maybe it is, i thought that it was designed by libertarians but i guess that's not the case 01:04:26 <Phantom_Hoover> they are a pretty dominant source of internet political bullshit 01:04:48 <Bike> Phantom_Hoover: imagining trolling r/libertarian or whatever by asking them if this news example constitutes government-punishable fraud 01:04:52 <kmc> sadly this means anyone who wants more than a one dimensional political spectrum is suspected of being a libertarian 01:05:37 <Bike> personally i think i'm pretty against any dimensionality :V 01:06:19 <Bike> probably because i like reading about mideast politics and i don't think you can quantify much of that with axes 01:06:33 <Phantom_Hoover> sounds similar to ireland 01:06:51 <Bike> heh, well i think it's similar to any politics if you look closely enough 01:07:33 <Bike> i'm not sure how much good a compass gets you outside of the american two-party sort of system 01:07:56 <kmc> I think Americans have a tendency to make the israeli/palestinean conflict sound more complicated than it is 01:08:08 <kmc> and to overstate the role of religion and supposed ancient grudges and stuff 01:08:29 <Phantom_Hoover> they did apply it to the uk parties: http://www.politicalcompass.org/ukparties2010 01:08:38 <Bike> i mean saying "the democrats are left and the republicans are right" basically tells you nothing helpful about their policies, and as you keep going you realize wait yeah the parties are just "big tents" 01:08:50 <kmc> surprise they're both on the right 01:08:53 <Bike> kmc: oh my god if i hear another person talk about how x and y have been fighting for "thousands of years" 01:09:10 <Bike> saudi arabia didn't even EXIST before the 20th century youa ssholes 01:09:22 <Phantom_Hoover> i do like the split between the nationalist parties there though 01:09:37 <Bike> i was gonna say the BNP/UKIP thing is funny 01:10:28 <kmc> I mean framing it that way provides a lot of political cover for Israel 01:10:37 <Bike> kmc: but yeah, palestianians didn't really care about jews before the whole.. israel thing, bla bla you know this 01:11:03 <Bike> it's lazy and yeah lends itself to "well they're just irrational, better give up and support Peace and Stability" 01:11:11 <kmc> yep 01:11:23 <Phantom_Hoover> like how there are the 'british' nationalists (bnp/dup/ukip) and the 'constituent' nationalists (sinn fein/plaid cymru/snp/sdlp) 01:11:53 <Bike> are there many scottish people in the BNP 01:12:10 <Phantom_Hoover> i have no idea 01:12:18 <Bike> tbh i mostly think of the BNP as the fuck muslims party 01:12:20 <Phantom_Hoover> http://scotlandsbnp.blogspot.co.uk/ 01:12:32 <Phantom_Hoover> that this site is hosted on blogspot speaks for itself, i feel 01:12:53 <Bike> "Yes, I know we have read about these cases before where the undesirable cannot be kicked out of Britain after a court say`s that it would deny them of the right to family life." and i'm done. 01:13:01 <Bike> undesirable. undesirable 01:13:14 <kmc> SNP isn't "nationalist" in the fascist way though, are they? 01:13:16 <Phantom_Hoover> no 01:13:19 <Phantom_Hoover> they're centre-left 01:13:43 <Phantom_Hoover> that's what i mean 01:13:50 <kmc> right 01:13:51 <kmc> I see 01:13:52 <Bike> how's the referendum stuff going, btw 01:13:59 <kmc> I kind of want Scottish independence to succeed just because it would be interesting, but I have zero skin in the game and zero real understanding of the consequences 01:14:03 <Bike> have you destroyed UK unity yet 01:14:14 <Phantom_Hoover> it will definitely be 'no' but the english don't seem to realise that 01:14:32 <Bike> that's what i gathered i think 01:14:35 <kmc> why will it definitely be 'no' 01:15:24 <Phantom_Hoover> because public sentiment is towards no by a significant margin, from every single projection i've seen 01:16:27 -!- ais523 has quit. 01:16:28 <Bike> so, why is sentiment like that 01:16:54 <kmc> there's more than a year of campaigning ahead though 01:17:09 <Phantom_Hoover> we can live in hope 01:17:43 <Bike> there's a staunch unionist in the SA thread who is an annoying git and has an avatar of the Stig, which is enough to make me wish for independence. i'm a solid political thinker. 01:17:51 <kmc> :D 01:17:54 <kmc> who/what is the Stig 01:18:02 <Phantom_Hoover> top gear's test driver 01:18:07 <kmc> heh 01:18:17 <Bike> top gear is funny but the presenters are kind of douches sometimes 01:18:32 <kmc> douchery is the source of all wit (not really) 01:18:35 <Phantom_Hoover> was originally going to be called the gimp but someone at the bbc told clarkson he wasn't at repton any more 01:18:47 <Bike> like that. 01:19:36 <Phantom_Hoover> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7CnMQ4L9Pc stewart lee on the topic 01:21:12 <Phantom_Hoover> (i didn't check, but if that's the video where he mention's gordon brown's half-blindness i would like to point out that brown actually went blind playing rugby at university and so completely deserved it) 01:21:21 <Phantom_Hoover> *mentions 01:24:49 <Bike> rugby, the silent killer 01:28:23 <kmc> Moffett Airfield was going to be called Mountain View Airport but somebody pointed out this is an ominous name for an airport 01:28:33 <boily> THE PINEAPLLES MOVE! MWAH AH AH AH AH AH! I CAN GO SLEEP! 01:28:39 <kmc> right then 01:28:44 <kmc> i'll have what he's having 01:29:00 <boily> ~eval 21 - 9 01:29:01 <metasepia> 12 01:29:15 <boily> woohoo, 11.5 hours of work... 01:29:33 <Phantom_Hoover> kmc, i got confused there for a second and thought it was a crack at doctor who 01:29:52 <boily> kmc: our client is an import and distributor of fruits and veggies. I'm working on shipments, and my test data revolves around pineapples. 01:30:24 <boily> sorry about the sudden insanity. I am not insane. everything is fine. 01:38:10 <boily> time to inhale a bigmac. goodnight all. 01:38:13 -!- boily has quit (Quit: Poulet!). 01:38:15 -!- metasepia has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 01:52:02 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Quit: Leaving). 02:44:04 -!- zzo38 has joined. 02:44:25 <zzo38> What needs to be made more complex? 02:45:10 <Sgeo> zzo38: numbers 02:45:35 <Sgeo> Need to get them off the axises (axes?) 02:46:33 <zzo38> Sgeo: Do you mean complex numbers? What about the axes is this about? 02:47:43 <Sgeo> Yes, I was referring to complex numbers. I was saying numbers need to be made more complex, and by moving them off the axes, I intended to suggest making them have both a real and imaginary part. Although I guess real numbers are complex too. 02:50:27 <zzo38> Complex numbers do have a real and imaginary part. Real numbers are a special case (in that the value and operators convert from real to complex homomorphically) 02:51:50 <Sgeo> Well, being off the axes implies nonzero real and imaginary parts, which isn't really necessary 02:53:23 <zzo38> What exactly are you meaning by that? I can see that if you are writing it as a point on a X-Y axis then that is how it works, but I don't know what you mean, especially since you write "which isn't really necessary" too 02:54:32 <Sgeo> As I understand it, 5 + 0i is a complex number, but it is on an axis. I mistakenly implied in my joke that it would have to have nonzero real and imaginary parts to be considered a complex number. 02:56:11 <zzo38> O, that's whaty ou meant by it. Yes "5 + 0i" is a complex number (and it is equal to a natural number 5) 02:58:01 -!- conehead has quit (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.). 02:58:24 <zzo38> @messages-loud 02:58:24 <lambdabot> boily said 5h 35m 11s ago: our DM's been working for some time now on a custom system that we haven't tested yet. 02:58:58 <zzo38> boily isn't on right now, but I can tell of my system (and variants of 3.5e which we use) 03:01:57 <zzo38> I use LA (which 4e lacks), and don't use CR and EL (4e keeps these features); my own (unfinished and untested) custom system is like this too; it uses LA although it is called "pseudolevels" instead since I think that is a better name for it. 03:03:26 -!- thedeco has joined. 03:04:19 <thedeco> Can anyone here help me figure out what language this is written in? 03:04:22 <thedeco> 3 3 3 3***1_+,10 3 3**7+,100 16 2_++,3__3__3_3_***19+16+,4_4_*2*,10$*1+10$*4$*1_++10$*1+$$3+$5-10_10_*23+10_6_*2_+7$*,,,,,,,,, 03:05:01 <thedeco> as well as this 03:05:04 <thedeco> >99*1-,25*:*3-,25*:*44*+2-,25*:*44*+,84*,96*1-,97*5-,25*:*1+,25*:*25*+,v @,*52,+*55*:*52,**52*52< 03:05:20 <Bike> satanic runes 03:05:21 <zzo38> Where did you find that? 03:05:35 <zzo38> I don't think they are satanic runes, though 03:05:46 <Bike> do you have any proof 03:06:03 <zzo38> No, I am just guessing 03:06:14 <Bike> actually wait, i've seen this before maybe. i think it was TECO or something related 03:10:19 <thedeco> It was a challenge a buddy has me working on to solve 03:10:40 <thedeco> It was a puzzle with 5 parts 03:10:47 <Bike> er not teco. one of those old things 03:10:50 <thedeco> first part was the first one 03:11:02 <thedeco> second part was written in zombie 03:11:06 <Bike> _ probably indicates negation and it's otherwise postfix. maybe 03:11:13 <thedeco> third was written in ook 03:11:22 <thedeco> forth was lolcat 03:11:36 <thedeco> 5th is the second one i posted 03:12:32 <Bike> http://scientopia.org/blogs/goodmath/2010/11/30/the-glorious-horror-of-teco/ eh, doesn't look as similar as i thought 03:12:40 <Bike> it's like some weird mash of dc, i don't know 03:13:10 <Bike> i don't think dc uses comma though. 03:13:27 <Bike> does vi have postfix arithmetic? i haven't a damn clue 03:13:30 <thedeco> they remind me of a linear brainfuck like language I just have never seen it 03:13:45 <Bike> it's not much like brainfix, it's pretty obviously postfix arithmeticing 03:13:54 <thedeco> no amount of googling has helped me 03:15:37 <Bike> like 3 3 3 3***1_+ means 3*3*3*3-1, probably, and then i kinda lose it because i don't know what the comma is 03:17:10 -!- mnoqy has joined. 03:17:16 <thedeco> if you treated it just like a comma maybe it is simply a message 03:17:36 <zzo38> If they are ASCII codes then the first three letters are "Par" 03:19:34 <thedeco> zzo38: How did you derive that? 03:19:40 <zzo38> But there are more commas at the end as well as dollar signs, maybe dollar sign is DUP and comma is EMIT perhaps? 03:21:02 <thedeco> on a side note anyone know where I can find a zombie code interpreter? 03:32:19 <zzo38> I realize that the Hackiki changes list has something like "summary: medit/bin/uselessness_rpg_1,,game_rules chebang=#!/usr/bin/env .wiki cont=== Ability scores ==" so some parameters are in the summary; perhaps another edit summary field can be added using this, then? (Such as adding a field called "A" comes before "chebang", could be used) 03:33:27 <Sgeo> Software Downloads Associated with File Extension WAGAME: 03:33:27 <Sgeo> • FileViewPro* (free trial download) 03:33:27 <Sgeo> • Worms Armageddon Game Replay (Team17) 03:33:30 <Sgeo> slimey bastards 03:34:45 <zzo38> Not sure what the first thing has to do but I suppose "WAGAME" can be considered short for "Worms Armageddon Game". Maybe FileViewPro is supporting a lot of file types? 03:35:17 <Sgeo> FileViewPro is blatantly a piece of software that that website I pasted from is involved with 03:35:41 <Sgeo> I think they just say that, for any file extension, FileViewPro can open it 03:36:03 <Sgeo> Different site: http://www.openfileguide.com/article/How-to-open-.WAGAME-file.html 03:36:09 <Sgeo> haha meeting.WAGAME 03:36:37 <Sgeo> Had a very important meeting thru a Worms game 03:36:42 <zzo38> Then it should be listed in a separate list, saying "all file" in the result menu, and if you click that one then it says FileViewPro 03:37:33 <Sgeo> ".WAGAME file extension is popular essentially, for its role is important in various Windows Operating Systems. And it also features in many other functions and programs on the PC. This file extension is very important in the successful performance of the taks on the PC. " 03:39:04 <Sgeo> Hmm, starting to occur to me that I shouldn't have opened that link on my real Windows system 03:39:07 -!- mrout has joined. 03:40:06 <zzo38> I managed to add a edit summary into Hackiki now. 03:41:01 <zzo38> This is a good things about Hackiki; anyone can modify the program to make it do these kind of things! 03:41:12 <mrout> Are there any esoteric languages that are like Forth except with a queue instead of a stack? Because if not there will be one by the end of the day :P 03:42:07 <Sgeo> That reminds me, I still need to make Braintrust 2 03:51:59 <zzo38> mrout: I don't know; you can check. 03:52:47 <zzo38> But I think a Forth program can be made that implements commands for treating the stack as a queue 03:52:49 <mrout> http://i.imgur.com/F1IMP3s.png http://i.imgur.com/INevznF.png 03:52:58 <mrout> if you want more info on what I mean 03:53:35 <zzo38> I do know what you mean already 03:54:18 <mrout> good 03:54:28 <zzo38> It is probably possible to implement queue Forth in Forth. 03:54:55 <Sgeo> I guess Rebol, insofar it can be considered along those lines, still acts more stackish than queueish 03:55:14 <Sgeo> Just a reverse stack than is typical 03:55:57 <mrout> I've never used Rebol, how does it work 03:56:48 <Sgeo> The language as a whole, or the bit that's relevant to this discussion? 03:57:26 <mrout> the bit that's relevant to this discussion 03:57:38 <mrout> in the appropriate context of the language of a whole, if that's required 03:57:54 <Sgeo> Ok. Keep in mind that this is just a portion of the language that's, in a sense, default as a programming language: 03:58:24 <Sgeo> When you have a word, like add, it tries to take in the next two arguments. But in its place you could also have a word, which will then take its arguments first 03:58:34 <Sgeo> So, if you have words like add, you could do something like 03:58:38 <Sgeo> add add 1 1 add 2 2 03:59:01 <mrout> right 03:59:16 <mrout> and is that any different to add(add(1,1),add(2,2)) 03:59:49 <Sgeo> I guess not 03:59:59 <Bike> except that the arities have to be fixed. 04:00:19 <Sgeo> But this works too: add add add 2 2 1 1 04:00:44 <Sgeo> Yes, arities have to be fixed 04:00:46 <mrout> add(add(2,2),add(1,1)) or add(add(add(2,2),1),1)? 04:01:12 <mrout> (I mean, in the context of add it's all associative so it doesn't actually matter, but let's pretend addition isn't associative for a moment) 04:01:19 <Sgeo> The latter (I think 04:03:44 <Sgeo> It acts a lot like a reverse Forth, basically 04:03:50 <Sgeo> Except no actual stack 04:03:57 <Sgeo> Well, there is a stack, I guess 04:04:08 <Sgeo> Just not one that persists between commands 04:05:46 <Sgeo> http://www.re-bol.com/rebol.html#section-6.1.1 04:06:59 <Sgeo> ^^much saner than anything I can say 04:17:53 -!- dessos has joined. 04:22:30 -!- sacje has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds). 04:24:05 -!- sacje has joined. 04:41:40 <pikhq> modprobe -r brcsmac;modprobe brcsmac ;# why does this fix my wifi? 04:54:31 <Gracenotes> fuck, I am an idiot 04:54:38 <Gracenotes> in the two days I waited to get plane tickets, prices went up $200 04:55:16 <shachaf> Are you ticketing to Boston? 04:55:33 <Gracenotes> no, thanksgiving 04:55:41 <Gracenotes> time-ish 04:57:38 <zzo38> I changed the money in Uselessness RPG into euro currency instead of yen, so that it isn't the same letter. 04:59:02 <Gracenotes> hm.

Some of the details can be described by differences from 3.5e. CR and EL are eliminiated. LA is retained in a slightly different form called "pseudolevels". 17:51:44 <zzo38> boily: Do you have details? 17:52:31 <boily> zzo38: not yet. he's been very secretive about it, except some interesting character mechanics (like a dragon-hybrid that uses his money to gain buffs) 17:52:57 <coppro> boily: surrounded by montreal is a definite plus 17:53:05 <coppro> (unlike surrounded by toronto, which is nearly a dealbreaker for me) 17:53:10 <Taneb> Can someone correct the grammar of this sentence: "I've ended up going to bring a couple of friends along." 17:53:15 <boily> zzo38: another friend in another group's been working on his own apple-pie-from-scratch system for about ~10 years. 17:53:17 <Taneb> I've ran out of grammar lira 17:53:23 <coppro> Taneb: the grammar is correct 17:53:33 <Taneb> coppro, it doesn't feel it 17:53:36 <boily> coppro: supposedly you can get nice korean food in TO. do you confirm? 17:53:48 <coppro> boily: I can neither confirm nor deny 17:53:52 <zzo38> boily: I am also working on a system, from scratch although with some ideas based on 3.5e, Magic: the Gathering, category theory, and other things. 17:53:58 <boily> Taneb: as a certified Francophone, the grammar is correct. 17:54:03 <coppro> boily: I will take no further questions on the matter 17:54:09 <boily> coppro: so you're a politician, eh? 17:54:24 <boily> zzo38: category... theory... in an RPG??? 17:54:30 <coppro> boily: aspiring to be Harper's sucessor 17:54:36 <coppro> Taneb: possibly you want it to means something different that what it says. But the grammar is correct 17:54:42 <boily> coppro: as PET said, just watch me? 17:54:49 <zzo38> boily: Yes, the magical system involves many mathematical things. 17:55:04 <boily> we are doomed. DOOOOOOMED, I SAY! 17:55:09 <Taneb> I now want to add a clause "who aren't in the group", whose antecedent is "friends" 17:55:13 <Taneb> Where would I put it 17:55:23 <coppro> boily: and actually, yes, I am a student politician. I try not to evade questions, though :) 17:55:25 <zzo38> In mine, PCs and NPCs are treated equivalently. To make a player character look up what kind of creature you want your character to be, look up the number of pseudolevels (there will always be a number, unlike D&D), select your classes and how many levels you want in each, skills, feats, back story, etc 17:55:41 <zzo38> So mine hasn't any "player races" section. 17:55:48 <Taneb> Can I just tack it to the end? 17:55:52 <boily> coppro: are you badlingual in both official languages? 17:55:59 <Taneb> "I've ended up going to bring a couple of friends along, who aren't in the group." 17:56:05 <boily> zzo38: so it's gurpsian, too. 17:56:19 <coppro> boily: I'm far from fluent French, but I can pass 17:56:34 <zzo38> boily: I don't know what that means. What similarities and differences do the ones you know of having? 17:56:37 <coppro> and by "pass", I mean "speak French at a fancy restaurant in Montreal without the waiter ever switching to English" 17:56:53 <coppro> boily: my accent is pretty good, though, unlike PMSH 17:58:57 <coppro> boily: I'm not sure if that qualifies as "badlingual" 18:00:05 <zzo38> I don't like D&D 4e. However, it is kind of a coincidence that my system eliminated many things in 4e and kept many things that 4e eliminated; this was before 4e was announced. 18:00:40 <zzo38> My system is a bit less combat oriented; the "Fighter" class is the only one meant for combat and the other classes do other things. 18:01:53 <boily> ~duck pmsh 18:01:54 <metasepia> --- No relevant information 18:02:16 <Koen_> coppro: montreal waiters are too gentle 18:02:18 <boily> coppro: I was refering to our Dear Leader, Jean Chrétien :D 18:02:59 <zzo38> boily: What are your opinions of these things so far? 18:03:03 <boily> coppro: I ordered in Japanese at a Mtl restaurant once. it worked. 18:03:04 <Koen_> coppro: on the other hand, they're probably less gentle than french waiters. french waiters don't speak english, so they're guaranteed not to switch languages 18:03:39 <boily> zzo38: sounds very tempting and intriguing. the pc/npc non-split is something that isn't spread enough around systems, imo. 18:04:01 <zzo38> boily: I agree. 18:04:55 <boily> Koen_: French waiters are scarce around the city. almost all of our waiters (fmvo almost all) are bilingual. 18:05:02 <boily> (fmvo: for a mathematician's value of) 18:05:21 <zzo38> 3.5e has almost PC/NPC equivalence; I have made some variations to 3.5e, one of which improves the equivalence. However, they still use different formats. My system uses the same format too; all the kind of creatures in the game are in one area, and all have pseudolevels rather than using CR. 18:05:39 <Koen_> boily: no I meant a french waiter in france 18:05:43 <coppro> Koen_: too gentle in what sense? 18:05:54 <Koen_> in the not switching to your language sense 18:06:06 <coppro> ah. That's not really my experience 18:06:19 <Koen_> first bar I've stopped in in germany, I order in german, they waiter answers in english 18:06:37 <Koen_> and he overheard me talking with my friends in french, so when I continue in english HE SWITCHES TO FRENCH 18:06:44 <Koen_> I felt so insulted 18:06:44 <Vorpal> God dammit, Windows 7's built in backup tool is useless. It gives random crappy error messages 18:06:48 <coppro> haha 18:07:05 -!- epicmonkey has quit (Read error: Operation timed out). 18:07:07 <Vorpal> Any suggestions for full disk backups for windows 7 that works? 18:07:10 <Vorpal> Incremental too 18:07:11 <zzo38> Also, all experience points in my system are ad hoc, with the exception of spells and class features that cost experience points. 18:07:15 <Vorpal> So no, dd won't work 18:07:17 <coppro> Koen_: he didn't recognize your lovely Québecois accent, clearly 18:07:30 <coppro> zzo38: spells and class features that cost xp are dumb hth 18:07:31 <Koen_> I'm french from france 18:07:34 <coppro> Koen_: oh 18:07:37 <coppro> lololol 18:07:40 <coppro> owned 18:07:53 <zzo38> (Learning additional spells beyond the ones automatically earned at level up costs experience points.) 18:08:06 <zzo38> coppro: I don't really agree; I think it can be good idea. 18:09:35 <boily> Vorpal: bacula! 18:09:41 <Vorpal> boily, On windows? 18:09:59 <boily> Vorpal: yes. that was one of my internship projects. it works just fine! 18:10:23 <Vorpal> boily, also it would all need to work from that computer, be when I press a button rather than automated (due to dual booting) and to an external USB HDD 18:10:31 <Vorpal> boily, I thought it cost money for windows? 18:10:38 <boily> one of my gloriousest windows moments: destroying everything I can think of, and see if the backup can restore it. 18:10:50 <Vorpal> Or that is what I think I saw the list on wikipedia say when I read it 18:11:06 <boily> Vorpal: you can launch manual backups, external USB HDD is a nonissue, it's free. 18:11:15 <Vorpal> For windows too? Huh 18:11:25 <Vorpal> boily, it uses shadow copy on windows? 18:11:25 <boily> yeah. I testify that I did it. 18:11:28 <boily> it does. 18:11:36 <Vorpal> boily, because shadow copy is the part that is borking 18:11:49 <Vorpal> So that is no good then 18:12:00 <boily> eh? 18:12:07 <boily> so how do you backup open files, then? 18:12:26 <boily> s/testify/attest/ 18:12:30 <boily> stupid verbs. 18:12:32 <Vorpal> boily, good question, well I guess shadow copy might work if another program calls it that isn't super-broken 18:12:57 <boily> bacula is strangely not borken. it takes some time to configure properly, but when it's up, it's up. 18:13:10 <Vorpal> boily, Anyway, what about restore? Can it restore to a completely new disk and not need to reactivate windows? Like a dd clone 18:13:12 <zzo38> Maybe looking at my D&D game recording might also give you some kind of idea what kind of features I like in the game. 18:14:03 <Vorpal> boily, Hm, so I need to setup many daemons it seems? All can run on the windows computer? 18:14:03 <boily> Vorpal: it can. there may be a little bit of manual involvement if you're working on a particularly screwed up install (like doing partial regbase restores), but otherwise you just have to wait. 18:14:13 <Vorpal> regbase? 18:14:27 <boily> base de registre? what's it called in English again? 18:14:30 <Vorpal> boily, I mean total disk failure scenario where you have to buy a new disk 18:14:42 <boily> oh. no worries, then. 18:15:35 <Vorpal> uh the website for bacula claims it is *not* free for windows 18:15:39 <boily> wut??? 18:15:48 <Vorpal> http://bacula.org/en/?page=winbin 18:15:51 <Vorpal> Read that 18:15:56 <Koen_> thedeco: so do you have any other questions like that one? 18:16:13 <boily> Vorpal: oh. that changed since 2008. 18:16:24 <Vorpal> boily, well then, any free suggestion? 18:17:19 <boily> Vorpal: seeing that I have trouble remembering what happened yesterday, delving to the Depths of Five Years Ago is going to be hard. 18:17:29 <Vorpal> Hm 18:17:43 <boily> if you can backup from a linux CD, well... 18:18:06 <Vorpal> boily, I can easily back up from Linux, but I want incremental backups, not full blown dd images with no history 18:18:07 <boily> otherwise, je sèche. I kinda lost touch with the backup scene. 18:18:13 <Vorpal> I use rdiff-backup on Linux 18:18:46 <boily> Vorpal: I think the only reliable sources for that cost money. or, you could also compile bacula on windows, if you feel masöchistic enough. 18:19:00 <Vorpal> Eh 18:19:03 <boily> eh indeed. 18:19:18 <zzo38> I also retain the Profession skills, something which 4e eliminates. However, I also added tactical skills. I retained skill ranks and eliminated class/cross-class skills. You learn skill regardless of your class, although different classes have different number of skill points to spend. 18:19:19 <Vorpal> I do have VS2010 Ultimate around though 18:20:20 <boily> zzo38: skills are a prerequisite. the cleanest system I have ever seen comes from Fudge, but sadly I never had the chance to play it. 18:20:43 * boily shrugs at Vorpal. “anything goes!” 18:20:46 <Vorpal> boily, Time Machine, that is backup done right 18:20:48 <zzo38> I have one class "Expert" which has a highest number of skill points but not other features. 18:20:52 <Vorpal> Wish it wasn't apple only 18:21:05 <boily> Vorpal: with a shiny nas. simple, efficient, effortless. 18:21:11 <zzo38> The other two classes are "Divine" and "Arcane". 18:21:14 <Vorpal> boily, time machine + nas? Hm 18:21:35 <Vorpal> boily, the issue with a NAS is what happens if there is a lightning strike. Likely it will knock out any connected electronics 18:21:42 <Vorpal> Including the NAS 18:22:19 <boily> Vorpal: use your own power grid? harness the lightning for your arcane invocations? I dunno. lightning strikes all, and makes no difference. 18:22:34 <Vorpal> boily, it ignores off site backups :P 18:22:50 <boily> well, have a NAS on another continent :P 18:22:58 <Vorpal> yay, and I have ADSL... 18:23:08 <boily> can't be worse than tape backup. 18:23:12 <fizzie> Possible business plan: data storage on the moon? 18:23:28 <Vorpal> fizzie, it would survive a major meteor impact certainly 18:23:53 <fizzie> Getting at it after the collapse of civilization here might be an issue. 18:24:07 <Vorpal> True 18:24:29 <boily> who cares about civilization? you have backups! 18:24:44 -!- oerjan has joined. 18:25:10 <Vorpal> Anyway I assume Time Machine keeps some sort of index over changed files all the time since it is so darn fast at doing a backup 18:26:50 <zzo38> One feature of my system is that a high level arcane caster who wants to have a lot of options will need to have a lot of strength, unless they spend most of their feats on mastering a lot of spells, or store their books at home and take the ones they need, or get someone else to carry their books for them, or whatever. 18:27:05 -!- mnoqy has quit (Quit: hello). 18:27:31 <boily> zzo38: as long as you maintain CCIH, everything is good. 18:27:40 <boily> (Character Creation Induced Headaches) 18:29:09 <zzo38> What are character creation induced headaches? Can you give some example please? 18:30:32 <boily> “should I put that point here, or there? or ditch that skill, hope to acquire it later during the campaign? but then if I don't have enough of that, the RP will get *weird*. and the DM's being a %#*%$ lately, so no chance of getting that around...

so you can have your programs accessible as commands 20:41:57 <fizzie> Yes. 20:42:14 <fizzie> Sometimes to the end instead of the front of PATH, though. 20:42:55 <Koen_> yes I thought it would be more prudent to add it to the end 20:43:20 <fizzie> (Also having it, say, as ~/local/bin, lets you install e.g. autoconf'd stuff in there with ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local.) 20:43:46 <oerjan> i've got it at the beginning, by the default setup at nvg's servers 20:43:47 <Koen_> not sure I get the subtlety of that 20:44:33 <fizzie> Well, I mean, if you install something with --prefix=$HOME, you end up with ugly ~/lib, ~/share and whatnot. 20:45:06 <oerjan> Koen_: if you're not root, and want to compensate for something being broken, then you definitely would want it at the beginning i think. 20:45:12 <Koen_> oh 20:45:18 <Koen_> okay 20:45:41 <Koen_> so I should put it at the end on my personal computer and at the beginning on my session at school?

21:34:13 <Bike> it can be easier 21:34:23 <Bike> like, the indicator function for 0 is uncomputable 21:34:29 <Fiora> indicator? 21:34:38 <Bike> f(0) = 1, f(anything else) = 0 21:34:41 <Fiora> oh 21:34:55 <Fiora> is that uncomputable for other nujmbers other than zero?

21:39:48 <shachaf> real numbers don't make sense hth 21:39:54 <Fiora> because if your input is an infinite stream of bits, you can't sort it either 21:40:01 <oerjan> Fiora: computable real numbers are programs, not simple data. 21:40:04 <nooodl> man how are real numbers even defined 21:40:09 <nooodl> i've never spent a whole lot of time thinking about this 21:40:11 <Bike> nooodl: dedekind cuts 21:40:19 <Bike> or cauchy sequences. 21:40:34 <shachaf> Fiora: Well, how often do you sort the bits in a number?

So NTFS is, but Windows doesn't care? 21:09:25 <pikhq> Yes. 21:09:28 <Roujo> That's nice 21:09:36 <pikhq> FAT32 with long file names is the same way. 21:10:08 <shachaf> But I use FAT12. 21:10:45 <pikhq> Sorry, FAT with long file names in general. 21:11:13 <shachaf> longfi~1 21:25:25 -!- Taneb has joined. 21:43:53 <zzo38> And if you have any comments/questions/complains about the Dungeons&Dragons game I am recording, you can tell me that too, please. 21:55:42 -!- SirCmpwn has quit (Excess Flood). 22:03:51 -!- SirCmpwn has joined. 22:04:03 <doesthiswork> Schematic tables are a pretty cool way of handling branching. http://www.subtextual.org/subtext2.html 22:04:22 <doesthiswork> conditional branching 22:07:42 -!- epicmonkey has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds). 22:14:35 <Bike> so uh i forgot how to use tar. if i have a .tar i should be able to do just 'tar t filename' to get a list of what's in it, right? 22:16:11 -!- yorick has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 22:17:04 <Bike> oh, no, i need f. damn. 22:18:21 <oerjan> why this fear of f's 22:19:42 <Koen_> the bonus question at our final exam was exctracting a file from a corrupted .tar.gz archive 22:19:45 -!- Taneb has quit (Quit: Leaving). 22:40:07 -!- Sgeo has quit (Quit: No Ping reply in 180 seconds.). 22:40:31 -!- Sgeo has joined. 22:58:45 <shachaf> Bike: hm what are some good adjunctions i don't know about 22:59:54 <Bike> up adjunctions 23:00:10 <Bike> (analogous to left adjunctions) 23:00:14 <shachaf> help 23:00:21 <shachaf> what's a left adjunctions 23:00:31 <shachaf> You mean left adjoint? 23:00:57 <Bike> You know damn well what I mean. 23:01:05 <shachaf> in galois connections people call the left adjoint the "lower adjoint" and the right adjoint the "upper adjoint" hth 23:01:36 <oerjan> shachaf: did you know that quotienting out the commutator is a functor from groups to commutative groups that is adjoint to the inclusion in the reverse direction? (iirc) 23:01:57 <shachaf> oh, that sounds good 23:02:14 <shachaf> left or right adjoint? 23:02:21 <shachaf> i guess left maybe?? 23:03:25 <oerjan> ouch my brain 23:04:02 <shachaf> google finds results with "abelian group" when you search for "commutative group" 23:04:06 <shachaf> thoogle 23:04:09 <oerjan> oh right 23:05:11 <shachaf> maybe it's a right adjoint 23:05:13 <shachaf> help 23:05:26 -!- variable has changed nick to constant. 23:05:36 <oerjan> i don't think my brain is up to figuring out the diagrams at the moment. 23:05:45 <shachaf> oerjan: what do i pay you for hth 23:06:34 <oerjan> it's ok i think i found it on wikipedia 23:06:58 <oerjan> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutator_subgroup#Abelianization 23:07:51 <oerjan> so, left adjoint. 23:08:09 <shachaf> ok 23:08:15 <shachaf> makes sense 23:08:26 <shachaf> well, sort of 23:08:31 <shachaf> i don't know anything about groups :'( 23:09:18 <oerjan> that could be a problem 23:09:37 <shachaf> how do i become not such an ignoramus twh 23:09:49 <oerjan> read a group theory textbook 23:09:55 <shachaf> which one 23:10:19 <oerjan> i dunno it's been something like 20 years since i took the course... 23:10:33 <shachaf> i'm sure i'll be abel to find one 23:10:37 <oerjan> yes. 23:12:24 <oerjan> i wouldn't be surprised if this adjunction holds more generally for quotients/inclusions between algebras with extra equations added (e.g. xy=yx to get abelian groups) 23:13:02 <shachaf> is there a nice categorical way of talking about algebras with equations 23:13:55 <oerjan> hm... i recall they're related to monads. like the list monad to monoids etc. 23:14:03 <shachaf> as in T-algebras? 23:14:19 <oerjan> maybe, i don't clearly remember that term. 23:14:25 <shachaf> like http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/module+over+a+monad ? 23:15:28 <oerjan> sorry my brain cannot help you there 23:24:39 <Sgeo> `slist 8/31 23:24:41 <HackEgo> slist 8/31: Taneb atriq Ngevd Fiora nortti Sgeo ThatOtherPerson alot 23:33:51 <shachaf> what 23:33:55 <shachaf> plz include year thx 23:34:27 <Bike> uh, you're not on the slist, dude. you ain't got right to interfere in slist affairs. 23:34:51 <Bike> so sayeth the treaty 23:36:39 <shachaf> what treaty 23:36:40 <shachaf> `? treaty 23:36:42 <HackEgo> treaty? ¯\(°_o)/¯ 23:36:42 <myndzi> | 23:36:42 <myndzi> o/`¯º 23:39:08 <zzo38> Treaty?
