00:09:51 <Phantom_Hoover> is it true that gravity probe b was pointless?
00:10:11 <Phantom_Hoover> i remember reading that somewhere and being mildly sceptical but i've never been able to find another mention of it
00:12:01 <kmc> pointless cosmology
00:13:55 <boily> I picture the Universe as having the shape of a grain of cottage cheese.
00:14:03 <boily> a very large grain.
00:14:28 <kmc> All energy flows according to the whims of the Great Magnet. What a fool I was to defy him.

00:58:16 <boily> I hate it when I seem to be reading some comments on reddit for the first time, and then a wild orange arrow appears, attached to a six month old comment.
00:58:35 * boily mapoles his memory back into working condition
01:02:37 <olsner> the key to making good use of your memory is to forget such stuff you have no use for
01:03:30 <boily> oh. so... forgetting reddit comments is a good thing?
01:04:17 * boily mapoles himself up the head a few more times, just to be sure and drive the point home. «c'est pour... ow!... mon bien!»

06:57:39 <shachaf> you're all about lenses these days, right
07:00:30 <kmc> write a lens combinator which is analogous to the advanced cnidarian optics in the bio paper Bike linked
07:03:16 <Taneb> shachaf, I can't even make that typecheck and you've given me the signature
07:03:18 <Bike> how can i use coq to show that box jelly lenses allow more visual acuity than is actually possible due to the retinal distance
07:04:41 <Bike> i wonder if there's some sense in which proofs in the sciences are generally simpler than ones in mathematics, since the main practical issue is designing and running experiments

08:20:02 <fowl> lol
08:20:06 <fowl> it looks like cloaca beads

08:22:38 <oerjan> O KAY
08:23:04 <myname> hahaha
08:23:49 <oerjan> i find it interesting that google suggests "cloaca beads" but shows up no relevant hits
08:25:05 <myname> you are not doing safe search, do you?
08:25:06 <oerjan> in fact putting it in quotes doesn't help.
08:25:16 <shachaf> You know the thing where you have two representations of something, where one is a collection of arguments and the other is a polymorphic result after applying one argument?
08:25:20 <oerjan> i don't think that applies to _text_
08:25:21 <shachaf> E.g. Yoneda and CoYoneda, Mu and Nu.
08:25:39 <Taneb> oerjan, it really does
08:25:52 <fowl> lol
08:26:12 <shachaf> Density and Codensity (only in one direction each)
08:26:18 <oerjan> also i definitely don't have safe search on.
08:26:34 <myname> interesting
08:26:40 <fowl> i forget u mammals have anuses instead of cloaca
08:26:44 <fowl> odd creatures
08:26:56 <myname> wtf
08:27:15 <oerjan> oh it's fowl being foul

08:47:07 <oerjan> <Phantom_Hoover> is it true that gravity probe b was pointless? <-- i also read that by the time they got any results, others had bypassed them in quality.

08:56:53 <shachaf> Hmm, if you link to the text of a short story, should you annotate the link with "(spoilers)"?
08:59:18 <oerjan> a conundrum
08:59:31 <oerjan> *reminded
09:25:50 <shachaf> I want a word list with pronunciation metadata.
09:26:10 <myname> just switch to a more sane language
09:26:32 <shachaf> E.g. number of syllables, emphasis, rhyming or enough information that you can deduce rhyming...
09:27:21 <shachaf> That is an unusually unhelpful answer.

14:01:31 <AndroidKitKat> Guys.
14:01:35 <AndroidKitKat> Quick question in BF.
14:01:41 <FreeFull> Sure
14:01:55 <AndroidKitKat> How do I make it that the pointer moves according to the input.
14:02:02 -!- ggherdov_ has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
14:02:16 <AndroidKitKat> The only way I can think of is laying down a "1" to make a path.
14:02:40 <AndroidKitKat> However, that would be a problem, because you might overwrite useful data.
14:03:17 <FreeFull> Not much you can do about that
14:03:37 <AndroidKitKat> So.... self modifying code's probably the only way then, huh?
14:03:59 <AndroidKitKat> Self modifying code in BF...
14:04:01 <AndroidKitKat> oh my God.
14:04:15 <AndroidKitKat> I can't even start thinking of what may happen.
14:04:37 <AndroidKitKat> FreeFull: How about an array of IF statements?
14:04:56 <Jafet> It's called http://esolangs.org/wiki/Aura
14:06:01 <boily> AndroidKitKat: of course you can write self-modifying BF code :D just write a BF interpreter in BF, augment the innermost language spec with self-modifying instructions, then embed the code in the interpreter.
14:06:21 <Bike> "pointer moves according to the input"?
14:06:35 <FreeFull> I think you should use a higher-level language on top of BF anyway

14:09:10 <AndroidKitKat> I just thought of a good way.
14:09:19 <AndroidKitKat> But I "stole" it from someone.
14:09:45 <Bike> whoa whoa whoa that's not really acceptable in the high-stakes legally fraught world of brainfuck programming,

18:16:09 <AndroidKitKat> WHAT THE FUCO!?!?!?
18:16:22 <oerjan> a fate worse than too horrible too contemplate.
18:16:28 <oerjan> AndroidKitKat: problems?
18:16:33 <AndroidKitKat> brb
18:16:38 <oerjan> have they added trollface to unicode yet
18:17:03 <oerjan> `unicode TROLL FACE
18:17:04 <HackEgo> No output.
18:17:15 <AndroidKitKat> I thought I was being idiotic with my typing, turns out something was manipulating le keypresses.
18:17:17 <oerjan> disappointing.
18:17:32 <oerjan> the ghost in the machine
18:17:33 <boily> keypress is feminine. «la keypress».
18:17:58 <AndroidKitKat> I didn't even ealized I switched channels already.
18:18:10 <AndroidKitKat> Fuck virtual keyboards.
18:18:17 <AndroidKitKat> :/
18:18:32 <oerjan> `unicode TROLLFACE
18:18:33 <HackEgo> No output.
18:18:34 <boily> oerjan: you probably want U+1F638 GRINNING CAT FACE WITH SMILING EYES.
18:18:54 <oerjan> boily: i don't think that's the image i'm imagining.
18:18:56 <AndroidKitKat> ...20-bit unicode? ._.
18:18:59 <boily> (also, HackEgo is on Python 2, therefore no shiny complete SMP support.)
18:19:06 <oerjan> `unicode U+1F638
18:19:06 <HackEgo> ​😸
18:19:11 <AndroidKitKat> Lol
18:19:28 <oerjan> boily: WRONG
18:20:00 <oerjan> `unicode GRINNING CAT FACE WITH SMILING EYES
18:20:01 <HackEgo> U+1F638 GRINNING CAT FACE WITH SMILING EYES \ UTF-8: f0 9f 98 b8 UTF-16BE: d83dde38 Decimal: &#128568; \ 😸 \ Category: So (Symbol, Other) \ Bidi: ON (Other Neutrals)
18:20:10 <AndroidKitKat> ...lolwat
18:20:13 <oerjan> it's a bit verbose about them, though.
18:20:43 <boily> eh? there was an upgrade? ooooooh...
18:21:03 <AndroidKitKat> Am I missing somethng here or is UTF-8 4 bytes according to that?
18:21:08 -!- metasepia has joined.
18:21:32 <boily> AndroidKitKat: U+1F638 is far, far away. therefore, four bytes.
18:21:35 <oerjan> AndroidKitKat: quite possibly.
18:21:45 <oerjan> > maxBound :: Char
18:21:46 <lambdabot> '\1114111'
18:21:56 <AndroidKitKat> boily: Or 24-byte. :D
18:22:04 <oerjan> > showHex 1114111 ""
18:22:05 <lambdabot> "10ffff"
18:22:21 <nortti> AndroidKitKat: *bit ?
18:22:22 <oerjan> that's the official max unicode value, unless they've changed it again.
18:22:37 <AndroidKitKat> nortti: Hank you.
18:22:42 <AndroidKitKat> Thank*
18:22:46 <boily> `thank AndroidKitKat
18:22:47 <HackEgo> ​/home/hackbot/hackbot.hg/multibot_cmds/lib/limits: line 5: exec: thank: not found
18:22:52 <nortti> AndroidKitKat: Hank you, too
18:22:52 <boily> `thanks AndroidKitKat
18:22:53 <HackEgo> Thanks, AndroidKitKat. ThAndroidKitKat.
18:22:54 <lifthrasiir> any change to the bounds will cause an introduction of surrogate-surrogates
18:23:12 <boily> lifthellorasiir.
18:23:21 <lifthrasiir> oh no
18:23:24 <boily> haven't they learned that surrogate pairs are evil once?
18:23:42 <lifthrasiir> it's still evil as UTF-16 is still in use
18:23:46 <oerjan> boily: i'm not sure if it's an upgrade or simply downloading a better working unicode program.
18:23:56 <lifthrasiir> (and it *will* continue to be used due to the pervasiveness of ECMAScript)
18:24:26 <kmc> that's right :(
18:24:29 <boily> Gregor: did you change anything re HackEgo recently?
18:24:59 <oerjan> boily: it wasn't Gregor
18:25:49 <kmc> although V8 can store strings as ASCII too
18:25:59 <kmc> and SpiderMonkey people are considering doing something similar
18:26:04 <boily> oerjan: meh.
18:26:16 <kmc> and even if they don't, I want Servo to store UTF-8 in the DOM and only convert to UTF-16 when necessary
18:26:26 <oerjan> boily: it seems to be Jafet's work
18:27:56 <oerjan> starting with a `fetch of a debian file
18:29:33 <kmc> i kind of wish that Unicode had assigned compatibility codepoints for lone surrogates
18:29:47 <kmc> since they are basically individual characters in UCS-2 as implemented by ECMAScript
18:30:04 <kmc> and Unicode is supposed to be round trip compatible with legacy character sets
18:30:45 <b_jonas> kmc: I've sort of met something like that
18:31:38 <b_jonas> kmc: namely, when we changed perlmonks' official encoding to cp1252 (new version), for a while we've had the problem of how to encode into xml the few bytes that aren't valid characters in that encoding
18:32:01 <b_jonas> I think eventually we made them encoded to the high control characters with the same code
18:32:12 <elliott> why on earth would you change encoding to cp1252...
18:32:28 <Bike> to keep everybody on their toes
18:32:31 <b_jonas> elliott: it was iso-8859-1 before,
18:32:40 <elliott> okay, but unicode exists.
18:32:41 <Bike> garbage in garbage out
18:32:49 <b_jonas> elliott: come on, it's like 15 years old now!
18:33:07 <b_jonas> elliott: and the gods don't have time to apply even my simplest patches
18:33:09 <Bike> doesn't new perl use like, guillemets and shit? cp1252 must be a fucking adventure
18:33:15 <b_jonas> converting the whole thing to unicode would be impossible
18:33:55 <Bike> note to self, do not start using perl
18:34:16 <b_jonas> besides, you can put any character in the posts by amp-escaping them
18:34:31 <boily> Bike: you know you want to.
18:34:31 <b_jonas> (except in magical code tags where you can't, which is bad, but it's not easy to solve)

19:11:08 <myname> tubes looks interesting, but too bad it's not fully specified in the article
19:11:20 <oerjan> i should buy peanuts. wait i have peanuts, i just think of them as chocolate because they're covered in it.
19:12:30 <myname> could someone explain the difference between the movers in tubes?
19:13:22 <myname> ah
19:13:25 <myname> THERE it is
19:15:31 <myname> okay, i still don't get it
19:19:39 <myname> memory is 2d?
19:20:06 <oerjan> you'd think you'd need 3d for tubes to work
19:20:22 <oerjan> wire-crossing problem and all that
19:20:58 <myname> i just don't get what the double-tubes in the first example are for
19:20:59 <b_jonas> oerjan: can't you avoid that by like using spare scratch memory cells that you set to the right value to cross a crossing?
19:21:42 <oerjan> b_jonas: i'm not talking about the actual Tubes language here
19:21:49 <b_jonas> oerjan: yes, me too
19:21:51 <oerjan> just musing about the meaning of the words
19:22:04 <b_jonas> ah
19:22:11 <b_jonas> you're _not_ talking about the tubes language
19:22:12 <b_jonas> um
19:22:21 <b_jonas> talking about what then?
19:22:43 <oerjan> you may have heard about this real-life thing called "tubes".
19:22:53 <b_jonas> yeah
19:22:56 <b_jonas> with water and gas
19:23:03 <b_jonas> the ones in the wall carry water, the ones outside carry gas
19:23:05 <oerjan> in which fluids may pass. they can be used for computation.
19:23:20 <b_jonas> yes, I've seen such a thing too but it's impractical
19:23:40 <oerjan> we don't have much gas tubes in norway.
19:24:08 <b_jonas> sure you don't, you just pay for all the electricity and don't care about how inefficient it is. I know most countries are like that.
19:24:20 <b_jonas> it's easier in more densely populated areas like here, mind you
19:24:34 <oerjan> actually norway has the cheapest electricity in europe. used to be even cheaper.
19:24:46 <oerjan> unless i'm gravely mistaken.
19:25:00 <oerjan> because our country is littered with hydroelectric dams.
19:25:25 <oerjan> although this new apartment actually has remote water heating.
19:25:41 <oerjan> which hardly existed a few decades ago.
19:27:35 <b_jonas> yeah, I hear it's hard because the ground is too cold and if it stops for just a few minutes for an error during the winter all the pipes freeze and are impossible to restart
19:27:53 <b_jonas> we don't have that problem because the pipes that are just a few meters below never freeze
19:28:04 <oerjan> hm
19:28:41 <oerjan> nothing bad happened over the winter here, but they were closed for repairs during summer.
19:29:17 <b_jonas> yeah, it might work better than what I imagine because they actually do regular maintenance there :)
19:30:02 <oerjan> well it's a new building, they'd better get it working to start with.
19:30:16 <oerjan> other than that, norway isn't known for being good at maintenance.
19:30:37 <oerjan> well the government.

20:29:10 <oerjan> is there an xkcd comic about how there is always a relevant xkcd comic, i cannot recall
20:31:12 <b_jonas> oerjan: I don't either. It's only partly that there's always a relevant xkcd strip, the other half is how it's also possible to find it.
20:31:46 <b_jonas> There are other comics where I keep wanting to find the relevant strip, but there's no transcript and the comic is long and not in any sort of sane order and has no sane strip titles.
20:32:31 <fizzie> I always have to reread about half of isometric before I can find what I'm looking for.
20:32:51 <kmc> there is always a relevant goatkcd comic
20:33:50 <oerjan> what is the xkcd comic about those xkcd comics which are not relevant to themselves
20:34:25 <fizzie> I tried to use the relevantxkcd site to find the xkcd relevant to there always being a relevant xkcd, but the result wasn't very relevant.
