04:05:45 <Sgeo> How functional.
04:06:15 <Sgeo> (ok, so it makes perfect sense in any impure language)
04:07:22 <kmc> is Java 8 out yet?
04:08:00 <Sgeo> I think so
04:08:06 <kmc> wow
04:08:15 <kmc> java has lambda now
04:08:51 <kmc> truly the future is upon us
04:09:17 <Bike> "The CheckPerson interface is a functional interface. A functional interface is any interface that contains only one abstract method. (A functional interface may contain one or more default methods or static methods.) Because a functional interface contains only one abstract method, you can omit the name of that method when you implement it." incredible imo
04:12:12 <Bike> roster.stream().filter(p -> p.getGender() == Person.Sex.MALE && p.getAge() >= 18 && p.getAge() <= 25).map(p -> p.getEmailAddress()).forEach(email -> System.out.println(email));
04:12:24 <Bike> love me some dot chains
04:13:35 <Sgeo> Without syntax support there tends to be difficulty interleaving multiple sources in a non-ugly (syntactically) way, what does that look like here?
04:15:16 <Bike> "local variables referenced from a lambda expression must be final or effectively final" weak
04:16:37 <Bike> i'm pretty excited to find out if "effectively final" is supposed to be reliable

06:00:31 <kmc> does that mean mutability inference
06:02:08 <Bike> evidently
06:02:20 <Bike> couldn't find a solid definition before i got bored
06:02:33 <Bike> basically "it could be declared final no problem"
06:06:23 -!- ^v has quit (Quit: http://i.imgur.com/DrFFzea.png).
06:13:23 <shachaf> if i used Sgeo as a verb would people understand what i mean
06:14:47 <coppro> probably
06:17:23 <quintopia> something to do with every language beingc close to perfect but no cigar

06:49:35 <fizzie> "A local variable or a method, constructor, lambda, or exception parameter is effectively final if it is not declared final but it never occurs as the left hand operand of an assignment operator (§15.26) or as the operand of a prefix or postfix increment or decrement operator (§15.14, §15.15)."
06:50:06 <fizzie> "In addition, a local variable whose declaration lacks an initializer is effectively final if all of the following are true: * It is not declared final. * Whenever it occurs as the left-hand operand of an assignment operator, it is definitely unassigned and not definitely assigned before the assignment; that is, it is definitely unassigned and not definitely assigned after the right-hand ...
06:50:12 <fizzie> ... operand of the assignment (§16 (Definite Assignment)). * It never occurs as the operand of a prefix or postfix increment or decrement operator."
06:50:15 <fizzie> In case you were wondering.
06:51:42 <fizzie> The definition (npi) of definite assingment is unfortunately too long to quote.
06:52:04 <Bike> very exciting.

06:53:43 <oerjan> i mean, charming!
06:54:48 <quintopia> i might even have to eat your food
06:55:02 <quintopia> i mean...your country's food
06:55:17 <oerjan> good clarification.
06:57:02 <shachaf> double letters are my nemesis
06:57:28 <quintopia> i will be avoiding it though, since i hear it costs half a day's dsalary to get dinner
06:58:26 <oerjan> and here i was wondering if it was still season for skreimølje
06:58:59 * oerjan also realizes he hasn't eaten it himself in a long time

07:22:19 <Sgeo> Wait, it shouldn't even be possible to write a forall f. (Functor f) => f a -> a
07:24:56 <shachaf> Sgeo: waiting
07:25:12 <oerjan> Sgeo: consider f = Const b
07:25:41 <Sgeo> shouldn't be = isn't
07:25:42 <Sgeo> Ok,
07:25:48 <Sgeo> So how do I deal with this:
07:25:54 <Sgeo> > class Walk p => Settable p where
07:25:54 <Sgeo> >   mapping :: Functor f => p a b -> p (f a) (f b)
07:25:55 <lambdabot>  can't find file: L.hs
07:25:55 <lambdabot>  Could not deduce (p1 ~ (->))
07:25:56 <lambdabot>  from the context (GHC.Base.Functor f)
07:25:56 <lambdabot>    bound by the inferred type of
07:25:56 <lambdabot>             it :: GHC.Base.Functor f => p a b -> p (f a) (f b)
07:25:57 <lambdabot>    at Top level
07:26:02 <oerjan> Sgeo: PARSE ERROR
07:26:20 <oerjan> also, can you use ~ on non-* kinds
07:26:45 <Sgeo> So, how would I dimap on the result of that mapping?
07:26:58 <Sgeo> It looks like I would have to write a (Functor f) => f a -> a
07:27:18 <Sgeo> Well, if I wanted another p a b
07:28:01 <oerjan> Sgeo: um that's a class it's not supposed to be implementable for all p is it?
07:28:38 <oerjan> for (->) it would be the usual fmap, no?
07:28:43 <Sgeo> Not asking for a fully general implementation, just trying to see how to use it to implement a... setter, I think
07:28:57 <shachaf> what are you even doing
07:29:03 <shachaf> actually, never mind, don't answer that
07:29:06 <Sgeo> I think I may be pattern matching the dimap on usage of whatever a bit excessively
07:29:17 <Sgeo> \f g -> dimap blah blah . first'
07:29:19 <Sgeo> etc.
07:32:13 <Sgeo> How do I make class definitions in lambdabot?
07:32:36 <Sgeo> Or maybe I do need the walk instance, which I don't understand yet
07:36:03 <oerjan> Sgeo: with @let class ...
07:43:03 <oerjan> also, happy International Workers' Day, you filthy capitalist americans!
07:59:54 <shachaf> happy hug day
08:00:47 <oerjan> i find your calendar to be off https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Hug_Day
08:01:39 <shachaf> i'm referring to international hug day, obviously
08:01:47 <oerjan> ah.
08:01:59 <oerjan> stupid wikipedia redirects hug day to that.
08:02:23 <shachaf> imo linux should support hug pages
08:03:12 <oerjan> machines cannot hug.  right fungot?
08:03:12 <fungot> oerjan: there now ensued a mighty fnord and foaming in the noisome pits; the awful formula which had yielded such nameless fnord the message in ordinary english. i boarded it and looked vainly about for the light fnord as i was pushed slowly and inexorably toward the
08:03:14 <kmc> every day is hug day
08:03:35 <oerjan> see, fungot cares nothing for hugs.
08:03:35 <fungot> oerjan: they now slid along at great speed, once passing and fnord another galley of kindred form, but generally it would produce no effect at all, but floated easily in the blue harbour, and watched at the head of the glen. someone telephoned the news to others and gather such troops as might be necessary.
08:03:36 <kmc> oerjan: http://pbfcomics.com/115/
08:03:42 <lexande> shachaf: international free hugs day is reportedly july 5 this year
08:03:52 <lexande> maybe your day is for nonfree hugs
08:03:58 <shachaf> cofree hugs
08:03:59 <lexande> but that doesn't seem great
08:04:08 <kmc> free as in hugs
08:05:06 <shachaf> free hugs were invented when somebody left adjoint where a mathematician could find it
08:06:03 <shachaf> anyway, today is hug day, ok
08:06:06 <shachaf> because i say so
08:06:12 <shachaf> i'm at least as reliable on this matter as wikipedia
08:07:17 <lexande> i feel like this day is pretty heavily booked already
08:07:48 <lexande> what with generic-month-change-thigns and maypoles and international workers and outdoor fucking starts today
08:08:49 <shachaf> oh, right, it's pay-rent-day or something
08:13:51 <kmc> mailman reminder day
08:17:17 <shachaf> yes
08:18:09 <Taneb> Happy shachaf hug day
08:18:21 <kmc> every day is kmc hug day
08:18:38 <Taneb> kmc, is every day hug kmc?

09:12:36 <shachaf> (Which was refunded to my account as registrar credit. But still.)

16:47:06 <kallisti> basically I'm creating a class that wraps an openGL buffer objects
16:47:28 <kallisti> -an
16:48:08 <kallisti> so most operations on buffers in openGL require that you bind a buffer as active
16:50:13 <kallisti> so I have a VertexBuffer Bind method that takes an Action<BoundVertexBuffer> callback. BoundVertexBuffer is a (public) nested type inside VertexBuffer that exposes OpenGL calls which require a bound buffer
16:51:02 <kallisti> supposedly public nested types are bad practice, but I'm not really seeing the drawback of using one here.

03:58:57 <kmc> yes
03:59:05 <myname> who hasn't
03:59:12 <adu> oh
03:59:12 <elliott> no
03:59:13 <kmc> i would ask fungot but he left :(
03:59:14 <adu> n/m
03:59:52 <adu> I admire Funge-98 for it's audacity to think outside the box :)
04:02:57 -!- tertu has joined.
04:04:40 <myname> well, most multidimensional languages do that
04:04:53 <kmc> think outside the box and inside the torus?
04:05:35 <adu> any programming language that requires topological reasoning is fine by me.
04:05:55 <kmc> oh, we're in french now?  ♫ debout, les damnés de la terre ♫
04:06:05 <kmc> adu: you might like homotopy type theory
04:06:55 <fowl> adu, you sounded like a jehovas witness for befunge98 just then lol
04:07:17 <fowl> have you heard the good word of multidimensional programming?
04:08:04 <myname> as a matter of fact, we currently have a project for building a compiler for rail

19:59:44 <kmc> is that a Microsoft product or just branded swag
19:59:55 <Bicyclidine> implications are painful
20:01:19 <olsner> nothing wrong with products having several uses
20:02:29 <myname> the question is: where do you get 4 spherical usb covers
20:02:30 <kmc> those exposed ports will be a problem though
20:02:37 <fizzie> It's iron, I don't know if it's really a kettle too.
20:02:43 <fizzie> I mean, officially.
20:03:28 <Bicyclidine> the ports is what i meant
20:03:51 <olsner> fizzie: you mean it's a purely decorational teapot?
20:03:55 <olsner> seems useless
20:04:21 <fizzie> No, I mean, I think the officially designated way is to pour hot water in it.
20:04:25 <myname> as far as i know, you can use them, but they are far from practical
20:04:40 <fizzie> Rather than putting it on a stove or some such.
20:04:48 <myname> those pots tend to get pretty hot
20:05:17 <fizzie> I guess since it doesn't seem to have any parts that are not cast iron, you could use a pole and put it on an open fire or something.
20:05:29 <kmc> the mixing of conversations here is amusincg
20:05:38 <fizzie> The handle didn't seem to get especially hot, anyway.
20:06:04 <myname> kmc: what mixing? :p
20:06:05 <fizzie> But the hotel had a regular whatchamacallit, water-boil-o-mater.
20:06:08 <kmc> anyway yes, things that go in your butt should not have exposed ports
20:06:15 <kmc> sex toys are the killer app for inductive charging
20:06:24 <myname> what
20:06:48 <kmc> what's unclear about that statement
20:07:36 <myname> i wouldn't say "unclear"
20:07:45 <olsner> hmm, I wonder if they could be inductively charged/powered while in use too, should be theoretically possible I guess
20:08:18 <olsner> otoh, cords are pretty great compared to uncharged batteries
20:08:56 <kmc> yeah
20:09:15 <kmc> not so much for insertable items though :P
20:10:58 -!- MindlessDrone has quit (Quit: MindlessDrone).
20:11:05 <douglass_> I've used a metal teapot like that and it was fine. Didn't boil the water in it but I don't see why that wouldn't work. Cast iron is actually a very poor conductor of heat (as metals go).
20:11:48 <olsner> I'd guess it's good enough to burn your hand
20:12:16 <kmc> there should be a version of the We-Vibe that's powered by the, er, natural mechanical action of using it
20:12:35 <Bicyclidine> m, like a self-winding watch, very useful
20:12:53 <Taneb> Hmm
20:12:54 <kmc> exactly
20:13:10 <douglass_> I didn't burn my hand on the handle, but it's not like using a potholder is terribly impractical.
20:13:17 <myname> as a more serious side note: i do think they should do that for smartphones
20:13:35 <olsner> would it charge fast enough?
20:14:24 <kmc> almost certainly not
20:14:36 <myname> probably not, but it could expend the time between charging
20:14:52 <Bicyclidine> presumably you'd use a thermal charger instead, for one
20:15:04 <myname> Bicyclidine: yeah
20:15:09 <myname> no reason to not do both
20:15:35 <Bicyclidine> i don't think phones touch the skin enough for a self-winder to be practical.
20:15:43 <Bicyclidine> as much as the idea of a phone with a mainspring amuses me

21:59:07 <Bike> so, for ssl stuff, explicit_bzero is a function that the compiler refuses to optimize out, right? would a regular bzero be optimized out if, like, the variable goes out of scope after the call?
22:00:04 <nortti> most probably yes
22:00:38 <nortti> depends on the smartness of the compiler but smart enough one would
22:01:30 <elliott> Bike: explicit_bzero is openbsd-specific

22:02:28 <olsner> so is that a real problem that everyone else ignores or are the bsd people just a bit crazy?
22:02:55 <elliott> the BSD people aren't the only ones who do it, I don't think.

23:01:43 <Taneb> I'm off to bed
23:06:52 <boily> @tell Taneb I always am at Canada, modulo some rare lapses spent on other continents.

23:16:47 <Sprocklem> ?

23:17:29 <boily> I already went to the US. multiple times. on my own volition.

23:18:09 <Sprocklem> boily: Canada's a country, not a continent

23:48:38 <kmc> boston has a pretty good one, but the best part was closed when I went :/
23:48:54 <boily> there's an aquarium in boston and nobody told me? aaaaargh!

23:49:38 <kmc> osaka has a nice one
23:49:49 <boily> I went to the ōsaka one :D
23:49:55 <kmc> cool
23:50:46 <kmc> the monterey bay aquarium is supposed to be one of the best, and it's not too far from where I live

23:55:09 <boily> I don't think I ever used Boston's subway.
23:57:03 <boily> but according to the plan, I can get from Honoré-Beaugrand over to Lechmere through the Green Line Extension to Canada.

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_

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

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.

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?

19:20:22 <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.

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.

23:35:31 <olsner> I expected something more like a stack overflow in sum for large inputs
23:36:09 <elliott> why not just do it for n <= 100 too?
23:37:18 <int-e> because it's noticably different for the small n that matter, most notably n=1.

01:09:12 <david_werecat> Opinion based question: it is a good idea to change your online name?  If one were to do this, what would they need to do and what would be the implications of this?
01:11:06 <fowl> david_werecat, youll need new profile pictures too. just get them from your most handsome facebook friend
01:12:19 <david_werecat> That would work if I had facebook.
01:12:56 <david_werecat> Bascially, I'm thinking of changing my many online accounts from david_werecat to Cyskus.
01:13:27 <david_werecat> It feels less 'transparent'.
01:13:31 <fowl> did you check the inernet nickname registry to make sure cyskus isnt taken
01:14:03 <david_werecat> Currenly it does not exist anywhere that Google can find.
01:14:04 <Bike> i've changed names a billion times, mon
01:14:27 <fowl> there is a form you should fill out and submit to ICANN

07:25:37 <oerjan> in spring, in seattle, i think it was the trees.
07:25:37 <shachaf> what happens when you're allergic to dandruff shampoo
07:25:46 <shachaf> whoa you were in seattle
07:25:51 <oerjan> shachaf: too horrible to contemplate

07:26:25 <shachaf> i was alive in 1996 so ha

07:27:10 <oerjan> (and australia in 1988)
07:27:24 <shachaf> imo is that even a year
07:27:34 <oerjan> that exhausts the times i've been outside europe, i think.
07:29:12 <oerjan> actually i'm pretty sure i'm "allergic" to the strongest dandruff shampoo, which i use once a week.
07:29:28 <oerjan> the rest of the week i use head & shoulders
07:29:52 <oerjan> also, my scalps itches when i think about this
07:29:55 <oerjan> *-s
07:31:00 <oerjan> why can't they make sound isolation that isolates against humans speaking loudly
07:31:03 <b_jonas> zzo38: why don't you use arithmetic coding for that? I mean, huffman to 26 letters would be very wasteful unless your input has lots of symbols, because you have to encode very common symbols with a single letter.
07:31:51 <oerjan> also, carpenting and loud bass music
07:32:21 <oerjan> basically, why is sound isolation imperfect.

18:26:11 <oerjan> FreeFull: even those seep helium
18:26:22 <oerjan> there's no known storage method that doesn't
18:26:57 <FreeFull> True
18:27:01 <FreeFull> It's better than hydrogen though
18:27:52 <kmc> i wonder what's the longest English word that isn't built from smaller forms that would be known to the average speaker
18:28:20 <oerjan> kmc: i think that's still methionyl[etc]isoleucine
18:28:27 <kmc> maybe that doesn't count
18:29:05 * kmc comes up with a way to encode arbitrary binary data as syntactically valid sequences of word-parts
18:30:24 <Bike> well methionine isn't really known to the average speaker :V
18:31:26 <oerjan> Bike: was my point.
18:32:09 <Bike> kind of funny that it begins literally every polypeptide, but hey

19:57:22 <BlueProtoman> Where does the input to a counter machine go, and how do we know if said counter machine accepts or rejects the input?
19:57:34 -!- nucular has quit (Quit: Excess Food).
19:57:55 <oerjan> BlueProtoman: in the counters
19:58:26 <BlueProtoman> oerjan: Ah, so if I were to reserve a counter for the input, I could Godel-encode a string and it'd be like a Turing machine?
19:59:31 <ais523> yep, that's the idea
19:59:52 <BlueProtoman> Would I need another counter to go with it?
20:00:01 <BlueProtoman> Or can I just use the one Godel-encoded one?
20:00:13 <BlueProtoman> (Assume the Lambek instruction set; inc, dec, jz, and halt)
20:01:14 <oerjan> BlueProtoman: you need 2 counters for tc-ness
20:01:22 -!- MoALTz has quit (Quit: brb).
20:01:44 <oerjan> although you need to encode the string extra for that to work
20:02:26 <oerjan> basically, first you encode your string as one counter value, then you encode all your starting counter values as 2
20:02:28 <BlueProtoman> oerjan: So the first goes to the Godel-encoded input, the second goes to what?  The current state?
20:02:42 <oerjan> no the state is separate
20:03:03 <oerjan> although, look at fractran
20:03:12 -!- ter2 has joined.
20:03:12 -!- tertu has quit (Disconnected by services).
20:03:27 <BlueProtoman> Why would I start off all the counters but one (which goes to input) with 2?
20:03:42 <oerjan> the second may start as 0, it is only there as intermediate storage.
20:04:01 <oerjan> "Why"?
20:04:21 <BlueProtoman> Oh, OK.  I always thought that the states were maintained only with the counters--counter machines have their own FSMs like Turing machines or PDAs do?
20:04:34 -!- not^v has joined.
20:04:44 <oerjan> yes, in general.
20:05:13 -!- ^v has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
20:05:56 <oerjan> although you _can_ encode the state too, that's how you program in fractran.
20:06:31 <BlueProtoman> So then let's say I want to simulate a 2-counter machine with a 2-stack PDA (or vice versa).  Does this mean I first have to push the input to one of the stacks (and equivalently, Godel-encode the input in one of the counters) before I can do anything?
20:06:32 <oerjan> but then you still have the fractran state of where you are in the list of fractions.  and then you can encode all that as 2 counters.
20:07:08 <BlueProtoman> Because I'm assuming classic counter machines don't have a notion of an input tape like a Turing machine or even a PDA does, does it?
20:07:10 <oerjan> well PDA's generally have input as well, don't they.
20:07:22 -!- edwardk has quit (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.).
20:07:43 <oerjan> you can add an input command of course.  but you don't need it for TC-ness once you have encoded the starting input as a counter.
20:08:40 <BlueProtoman> OK.  So that first counter == whatever input the stack machine gets.  Push to stack si == increase counter ci by the next prime number to the power of its Godel mapping?
20:11:49 <int-e> you can implement a 2 stack pda quite naturally with 3 counters, then simulate those with 2 counters using Gödel tricks, e.g. 2^a3^b5^c.
20:12:21 <BlueProtoman> Yeah, that I get--one stack goes to the input, the others just correspond to uni-symbol stacks.
20:14:59 <oerjan> this does remind me of the work i did on 3-cell brainfuck.  i found out how to load input into the cell but not how to print the output properly afterwards.
20:17:25 -!- MoALTz has joined.
20:17:26 <oerjan> 3-cell brainfuck is almost like 2-counter machine, but slightly more cramped so you cannot do a full fsa directly.
20:18:34 <myname> haskell question: does anybody know how to make more than one expression for the same branch in a case?
20:18:44 <oerjan> (every time you end a loop a cell must be 0, so you have only 2 cells you can preserve throughout)
20:18:47 <kmc> what would that mean myname 
20:19:10 <myname> case somechar of <'x' or 'y'> -> ...
20:19:20 <oerjan> that's not expression, that's pattern.
20:19:39 <oerjan> and you cannot.  well maybe with the newest extensions.
20:19:41 <myname> okay, a pattern then
20:19:47 <myname> :(
20:20:19 <oerjan> in that case you can use e.g. a guard
20:20:28 <kmc> yeah it's too bad
20:20:37 <kmc> Rust allows that, but its patterns are worse in other ways
20:21:14 <oerjan> it's a faq, pretty sure i saw it on SO the other day.
20:21:54 <int-e> oerjan: do you know of a proof that 2-cell brainfuck is not Turing complete?
20:22:09 <oerjan> hm i had an evil idea.
20:22:11 <Jafet> x | x .&. (ord 'x' .|. ord 'y') < 2 ->
20:22:37 <myname> Jafet: woah
20:22:45 <myname> cannot express how ugly that is
20:22:52 <kmc> it's also not correct in general, is it?
20:22:57 <oerjan> int-e: hm my memory is vague but i think maybe you can enumerate all the possibilities for what a program can do then.
20:23:26 <Jafet> It's correct in admiral
20:23:39 <kmc> wasat
20:23:58 <oerjan> hm what if you combine pattern guards with lambdacase?
20:24:14 <oerjan> no, not pattern guards
20:24:29 <oerjan> the other thing
20:24:46 <zzo38> That is too bad that you cannot make such a pattern; it should make such an extension, I think it would be a good idea. You can already make a case block with multiple choices to the same branch in C and in BASIC.
20:25:06 <Jafet> > (\case 'x' -> Just 'x'; 'y' -> Just 'y'; _ -> Nothing -> Just x -> x) 'x'

20:26:40 <int-e> oerjan: Actually, intuitively I'd expect that it is TC, because 2 counter machines run into the same limitation: they loop (or terminate quickly) until one of the counters reaches 0, then they can branch off.
20:26:44 <oerjan> *itym
20:26:56 <kmc> Rust hasn't got pattern guards :/
20:27:03 <kmc> except they call the regular guards "pattern guards" which is mega confusing
20:27:33 <Jafet> @quote x.->.x
20:27:34 <lambdabot> dark says: <shapr> for example: "head (filter (\x -> x > 5) [1..])" <shapr> in a strict language, you can't easily play with infinite lists <dark> In a strict language, you would write that as "6" :)
20:27:37 <oerjan> int-e: but they have full fsa branching ability
20:27:45 <int-e> oerjan: but with BF the transitions that you get are limited, so it's not straight-forward. obviously you know that.
20:27:54 -!- Languager_ has quit (Quit: Leaving).
20:27:59 <oerjan> int-e: i _believe_ 2-cell bf is not tc.
20:28:00 <myname> rust still got a good mixture of functional and imperative programming imo
20:28:28 <oerjan> myname: i think that ((\case 'x' -> True; 'y' -> True; _ -> False) -> True) technically works >:)
20:28:32 <int-e> oerjan: ok.
20:28:43 <Jafet> @quote \\x.->.case
20:28:43 <lambdabot> benmachine says: let (\x -> case x of (\x -> x -> x) -> x -> x) = 0 in x / best view pattern evar
20:28:46 <oerjan> requires LambdaCase and ViewPatterns
20:28:47 <kmc> myname: Haskell has a better mix, in a sense
20:28:53 <kmc> but Rust has an unusual set of design constraints
20:29:02 <myname> huh?
20:29:10 <int-e> oerjan: eww!
20:29:14 <kmc> huh what
20:29:24 <int-e> but yes, that looks correct
20:29:32 <myname> what do you mean with unusual set of design constraints
20:30:15 <kmc> it doesn't have garbage collection or other things that require a heavyweight runtime
20:30:22 <kmc> (it will eventually have optional garbage collection)
20:30:47 <myname> i do find that pretty interesting
20:30:56 <kmc> you get the choice between a runtime with green threads and libuv, or basically no runtime just making system calls the way a C program would
20:31:04 <myname> i take a look at rust for quite some time
20:31:26 <kmc> and in the latter case you can even compile without libc and write an EFI binary, a kernel, a Linux kernel module, a microcontroller program, etc.
20:31:51 <int-e> oh. x == \x -> x -> x
20:32:41 <myname> i just wish for rust to become stable
20:32:53 <int-e> ehe
20:32:57 <kmc> I know there are things for "bare metal" programming in Haskell as well but it's a big pain
20:33:15 <int-e> rust is the antithesis of stability, ask any engineer
20:33:27 <oerjan> hm i think the parentheses are redundant in that pattern
20:33:29 <kmc> whereas Rust is a modern language that's basically compatible with the traditional C world of native compiling and linking
20:33:32 <kmc> myname: you will get your wish this year, is the plan
20:33:50 <myname> kmc: great to hear
20:33:56 <myname> i so want to do stuff with it
20:34:06 <oerjan> and also, you could make a quasiquote wrapping that up
20:34:13 <int-e> @run (\case x -> x) 1
20:34:14 <lambdabot>  <hint>:1:3: parse error on input ‘case’
20:34:35 <myname> now only documentation needs to get better *g*
20:34:36 <oerjan> int-e: i don't think the extension is enabled?
20:34:36 <kmc> i work on a 100,000 line Rust project and it is a pretty big pain keeping up with the language, yeah
20:34:38 <int-e> @run let id -> x = 0 in x
20:34:39 <lambdabot>  <hint>:1:8: parse error on input ‘->’
20:34:46 <kmc> it's not too early to learn the core concepts, though
20:34:52 <kmc> those aren't gonna change much
20:34:54 <int-e> oerjan: this is quicker than checking the source :)
20:35:16 <myname> kmc: indeed, it just is disappointing :D
20:35:50 <int-e> oerjan: I'm a bit surprised that nobody has requested those extensions to be enabled in \-bot yet.
20:37:57 <oerjan> shocking
20:41:00 <int-e> so this works: let (\(\x -> x -> x) -> x -> \x -> x -> x) = 0 in x

12:10:08 <int-e> @tell oerjan I can believe that 2-cell brainfuck is not TC; it seems that the halting problem is decidable for those, but it gets messy and I have no formal proof. What if we have 2 counters and a "landing field" that is always zero and cannot be modified (say, any attempt to do so would halt the program)?
12:10:08 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
12:12:01 <slereah> I seem to recall that you need like 6 cells or so for TC brainfuck
12:12:45 <int-e> slereah: that's certainly too much
12:13:17 <slereah> Perhaps
12:13:22 <slereah> That is just vague recollection

12:21:57 <Jafet> 3-cell is easy, 2-cell needs work
12:22:17 <Jafet> (I would not immediately rule out the possibility that 2-cell is undecidable)
12:24:43 <int-e> Jafet: The problem is that only innermost loops can have unbounded values in both counters, and they cannot communicate with loops outside (they terminate because one of the counters is zero, and you cannot even use the position of the pointer because there's no way to check it.)
12:32:22 <Jafet> Well, with 2 cells, any terminating inner loop takes (ma,b) to (0,b+na)
12:33:31 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds).
12:34:06 <b_jonas> my guess is that it's not known what the exact lowest number of cells is that's enough
12:38:21 <Jafet> Actually, it may be possible to simulate fractran
12:44:34 <Jafet> p/q ==> while(A) { if (A==1) { while(B) { A+=q, B-=p; } swap(A,B); } else if (A==2) ... else if (A==q-1) { ... } else A-=q, B+=p; }
12:45:50 <Jafet> That converts (A, 0) -> (0, pA/q) if q|A, otherwise (0, A)
12:46:32 <FreeFull> You could try writing a two-cell oracle and seeing if there are any inputs that could possibly have it provide the wrong anwer

16:46:09 <BlueProtoman> So I'm trying to either prove or disprove that the language {M where M is a Turing machine that, given blank input, will write a non-blank symbol somewhere} is decidable.  Can't I just have a Turing machine B that halts if M writes a non-blank and loops if not?
16:47:34 <Bike> yeah, but during the loop you might never know definitively that you can stop looping
16:49:29 <BlueProtoman> Would that make the language I specified undecidable?
16:50:03 <Bike> decidable means total, so, your recognizer needs to halt on all inputs, no?
16:50:26 <BlueProtoman> Yes.
16:50:55 <Bike> and your recognizer isn't going to halt on any M that doesn't halt and doesn't write a non-blank symbol
16:51:37 <BlueProtoman> Oh, I see.  So the input M doesn't have to halt, it just has to write a non-blank symbol.
16:53:05 <zzo38> If it never writes a non-blank symbol then I would think an infinite loop is detectable?
16:53:19 <zzo38> (You can ignore the tape position)
16:53:52 <BlueProtoman> ?
16:53:55 -!- shikhin has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
16:58:37 <BlueProtoman> What do you mean, zzo38?
17:01:31 <Bike> zzo's saying that it's probably computable to see if a turing machine that never writes a non-blank symbol halts.
17:01:58 <zzo38> If the number of states is finite then you can look for a loop in the state considering that the symbol is first at blank, that it leads to one you have been on before when the written symbol is also blank.
17:03:33 <BlueProtoman> zzo38: So it's similar to solving the halting problem for FSMs?
17:04:46 <fowl> 313.9 - 101.77
17:04:50 <Bike> yeah, turing machines have "infinite states" because they can write all the symbols they want, but you're restricting that
17:04:51 <fowl> 313.9 - 101.77d1
17:05:05 <Bike> i forget enough about strict during machines to remember if you can do something weird with blanks in unary, though
17:05:46 -!- Slereah_ has joined.
17:07:03 <zzo38> If there is only one kind of blank symbol and the tape is infinite both ways then any tape position on a blank tape is the same as any other
17:07:29 <Bike> oh right, it starts out all blank.
17:07:39 <BlueProtoman> zzo38: But it *might* write a non-blank symbol.
17:08:10 <BlueProtoman> That's what I'm trying to prove; whether the language of all Turing machines that write a non-blank symbol given blank input is decidable.
17:08:31 <Bike> i imagine you can look at all states to see which can write a non-blank symbol, and see if any of those are reachable from the starting state on a blank tape
17:09:03 <BlueProtoman> OK, but what if we loop forever with blank input?
17:09:29 <Bike> once you've found no non-blank writing you're just dealing with an FSM
17:09:44 <zzo38> Bike: Yes, that is what I meant.
17:13:02 <BlueProtoman> So then what happens if I have a Turing machine B that takes some M as input, and halts iff it runs M and then M writes a non-blank symbol?
17:14:24 <BlueProtoman> Oh, I think I get it.
17:16:09 <BlueProtoman> The actual definition of L is L = { M where M is a Turing Machine which, when started with a blank input tape, will finally write some non-blank symbol on its tape.}  Does that "finally" change anything?
17:18:02 <int-e> meaning "eventually"?
17:18:50 <int-e> (the other interpretation, though unlikely, is "in its last step".)
17:21:09 <BlueProtoman> I'm going to assume that the professor just means it'll write a non-blank symbol at some point, as opposed to halting on a non-blank symbol.
17:21:20 <int-e> Unfortunately, that detail changes the answer.
17:21:22 <BlueProtoman> Because I have other problems to do and this homework is due at midnight.
17:21:53 -!- b_jonas has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds).
17:22:02 <BlueProtoman> How does it change the answer?
17:22:08 <Bike> So then what happens if I have a Turing machine B that takes some M as input, and halts iff it runs M and then M writes a non-blank symbol? <-- like i said, that's not sufficient. you could have the machine that writes nothing and doesn't move but doesn't halt.

17:23:19 <BlueProtoman> This is my solution:
17:23:20 <BlueProtoman> Let L=\left\{ \string M|\mbox{\ensuremath{M} is a Turing machine that will write a non-blank symbol on its tape if the input is blank}\right\} 
17:23:20 <BlueProtoman>  . We will prove that L
17:23:20 <BlueProtoman>   is decidable. Note that Turing machines have a finite number of states. Thus, they have a finite number of transitions of the form \delta\left(q,\square\right)
17:23:20 <BlueProtoman>  . If, for a given M
17:23:22 <BlueProtoman>   and q
17:23:24 <BlueProtoman>  , we see \delta\left(q,\square\right)
17:23:26 <BlueProtoman>   more than once before we write a non-blank symbol, then we know that M
17:23:29 <BlueProtoman>   won't halt. So let's have a decider \decider L
17:23:30 <BlueProtoman>   that takes some \string M
17:23:34 <BlueProtoman>   as input and runs M
17:23:36 <BlueProtoman>   on \varepsilon
17:23:38 <BlueProtoman>  , and accepts if M
17:23:40 <BlueProtoman>   writes a non-blank symbol and rejects if M
17:23:42 <BlueProtoman>   is deduced to loop forever before writing a non-blank symbol. Hey, look, \decider L
17:23:44 <BlueProtoman>   exists, thus L
17:23:44 <int-e> The real problem is this: a typical TM interpreter will put non-blank symbols on the tape.
17:23:46 <BlueProtoman>   is decidable. \qed
17:23:48 <BlueProtoman>  
17:23:50 <BlueProtoman> Oh, shit
17:24:22 <int-e> BlueProtoman: yes, you shouldn't have pasted it here, but that looks about correct.
17:24:41 <BlueProtoman> It's all the newlines that snuck in there.
17:25:05 <Bike> int-e: starting with blank input is part of the conditions, though
17:25:21 <int-e> ... hmm. or not. I'm not sure what you're doing at "o let's have a decider \decider L".
17:26:45 <int-e> Bike: The TM degenerates to a finite automaton or a single counter machine (depending on whether you can test for the left tape end or not) if it can't write (non-blank symbols) to the tape.
17:27:43 <Bike> yes?
17:27:52 <Bike> i mean i'm not sure what you meant by "the real problem"
17:28:39 <int-e> Bike: at that point I was assuming that we wanted to show that L is undecidable by the usual diagonalization. I probably misread something.
17:28:50 <Bike> oh.
17:28:53 -!- oerjan has joined.
17:29:38 <BlueProtoman> How does M *writing a non-blank then halting* change the answer?
17:30:22 <int-e> BlueProtoman: as I meant it it would allow M to also write non-blank symbols at other times, only the final write would count.
17:30:55 <BlueProtoman> int-e: OK, would that affect decidability, then?
17:31:12 <BlueProtoman> Actually, maybe it wouldn't.
17:31:40 <BlueProtoman> Actually, it would.
17:31:50 <int-e> BlueProtoman: obviously. Just take any turing machine and make sure it writes a non-blank symbol in its halting state.
17:32:08 <int-e> (introducing a new halting state in the process)
17:32:14 <BlueProtoman> Yeah.  If you wanna be pedantic, check the cells immediately to its left and right.
17:32:23 <BlueProtoman> But what happens if you don't halt?
17:32:35 <int-e> then there won't be a final step
17:32:55 <int-e> hence no non-blank symbol written in the final step
17:33:04 <BlueProtoman> You'd have to solve the halting problem, though, since now you're not limited to what's effectively an FSM.
17:33:15 <int-e> yes.
17:33:22 <int-e> that was the point

17:36:03 <lambdabot> int-e said 5h 25m 54s ago: I can believe that 2-cell brainfuck is not TC; it seems that the halting problem is decidable for those, but it gets messy and I have no formal proof. What if we have 2 counters and a "landing field" that is always zero and cannot be modified (say, any attempt to do so would halt the program)?
17:36:03 <lambdabot> int-e said 19m 23s ago: (Re: 2-cell brainfuck) I found the following refinement of the insight that loops terminate with zeros helpful: At each point outside of innermost loops, one of the counters is bounded by a constant.
17:36:03 <lambdabot> int-e said 2m 4s ago: HI!
17:36:39 <BlueProtoman> OK, problem 4 solved.  5 more to go.
17:36:59 <oerjan> yold is past participle of yell, right?
17:39:04 <Bike> ye old
17:40:03 <oerjan> int-e: ah yes. i recall thinking about that constant thing.  except that it's almost decidable _exactly_ which constant.  at least in some spots.
17:40:32 <BlueProtoman> Now I'm trying to prove that you can simulate a 2-stack machine with a 4-counter machine (or vice versa).  P2 is the 2-stack PDA and C4 is the 4-counter Lambek machine.  This is my proof: http://i.imgur.com/aNDr8BE.png  Any thoughts?
17:40:37 <Bike> the language of turing machines that halt and write some certain output at the same time is fairly obviously undecidable so your prof probably didn't mean that, but you might want to mention the ambiguity
17:40:52 <oerjan> but there's some branching possible when you return to the beginning of a loop.
17:41:08 <BlueProtoman> Bike: Yeah, I just went ahead and did that.
17:41:47 <Bike> BlueProtoman: c1 and c2 are stack pointers, c3 and c4 are godel-encoded stacks? makes sense to me. you might be able to reduce the time complexity by using a less dumb coding but you're just being asked about decidability, so
17:42:30 <BlueProtoman> Bike: Strictly speaking, the problem is this: "Compare the running time (i.e., number of steps) of the following equivalent machines: (c) two-stack machine and a four-counter machine."
17:42:46 <Bike> oh. that's an odd question.
17:43:14 <BlueProtoman> Yeah, I clarified it.  He said to just describe what it would take to simulate one with the other.  We're given that they're Turing-equivalent, at least.
17:43:23 <Bike> oh, well alright.
17:43:23 <BlueProtoman> *Yeah, I had the professor clarify it.
17:43:35 <Bike> you could use a prefix coding or something for the stacks, then. don't need no stinkin primes.
17:43:59 <BlueProtoman> Prefix coding?
17:44:16 <Bike> a code where no codeword is a prefix of another codeword
17:44:31 <Bike> like, if your alphabet is AB, you could encode A -> 1, B -> 01, end of stack -> 00
17:44:56 <Bike> really the prefix isn't necessary, you can just use a block code, eh.
17:45:42 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined.
17:45:46 <oerjan> pretty sure you can simulate two stacks with 3 counters pretty easily, without even gödel encoding, just base representation.
17:45:57 <Bike> so say A -> 11, B -> 01, end of stack -> 00, then it's obviously linear to get somewhere on the stack.
17:46:12 <oerjan> because the two stacks can share their "temporary" storage counter
17:46:21 <Bike> and increment and decrement of the stack pointer are just increment and decrement.
17:46:34 <Bike> the thing about godel coding is that it makes sense mathematically but it's really fucking dumb practically speaking :V
17:47:00 <oerjan> with gödel encoding you only need 2 counters, of course.
17:47:19 <BlueProtoman> So I'd use Godel encoding for simulating 2 counters with 2 stacks (or vice versa)?
17:48:19 <oerjan> also a stack doesn't need a pointer.  you just pop off the top hth
17:48:32 <BlueProtoman> Bike: What if the stacks have more than one unique symbol each?
17:48:34 <Bike> oh. uh. right
17:48:45 <Bike> well i guess i gave you two RAMs then
17:48:50 <Bike> BlueProtoman: what?
17:48:56 <oerjan> no, with 2 stacks you just use them as a turing tape, and use something simpler than gödel.
17:49:05 <oerjan> like, interleaved binary
17:49:52 <oerjan> the prime number stuff is really only needed to get down to 2 counters.
17:49:55 <int-e> oerjan: apparently there is a separate input stream.
17:50:12 <int-e> oerjan: that's how we arrived at 4 counters yesterday.
17:50:20 <oerjan> oh?
17:50:32 <oerjan> ok then.
17:50:39 <BlueProtoman> I gave a second counter for the input because, well, the counters themselves give input.
17:50:52 <BlueProtoman> Where else would I encode the input to the 2-stack PDA?
17:50:56 <int-e> otherwise I agree with 3 of course.
17:51:07 <int-e> BlueProtoman: initial contents of one of the stacks
17:51:35 <Bike> welp it's official, never not going to read PDA as PDE
17:51:46 <BlueProtoman> int-e: I can do that?
17:52:03 <Bike> you can do anything, if only you believe in yourself
17:52:04 <int-e> BlueProtoman: it depends on your definitions, obviously.
17:53:54 <BlueProtoman> So let's go back to 2 stacks, 2 counters.  I can simulate the counters with stacks easily, just have an alphabet of two symbols, and push one symbol only to c1, and one symbol only to c2.  I could Godel-encode the input as a really big monosymbol stack.  But what about the jump-if-zero instruction?
17:54:17 <oerjan> <slereah> I seem to recall that you need like 6 cells or so for TC brainfuck <-- SOME OF US HAVE MADE LATER PROGRESS HTH

17:54:46 <oerjan> fizzie!!!!!
17:55:05 <oerjan> http://esolangs.org/wiki/Collatz_function
17:57:30 <oerjan> BlueProtoman: jump-if-zero becomes jump-if-stack-empty? i don't see the problem...
17:58:15 <oerjan> if you don't have stack-empty testing, add a special bottom symbol, i guess.
17:59:30 <oerjan> wait do you need different symbols for c1 and c2, anyhow
17:59:55 <BlueProtoman> oerjan: OK, but where do I jump to?
18:00:05 <BlueProtoman> oerjan: Oh, wait, this becomes the problem of the states, not the stack.
18:00:35 <oerjan> yes, you have nearly the same underlying FSA in both cases, i should think
18:00:48 <oerjan> just a little different interpretation of what the transitions mean
18:01:51 <BlueProtoman> OK, that makes sense.
18:02:10 <BlueProtoman> Each instruction in a CM roughly corresponds to a state in a FSM?
18:02:58 <oerjan> int-e: Jafet: simulating fractran is precisely what that link does for 3-cell bf.
18:03:09 <oerjan> in case any of you haven't seen it yet.
18:03:31 <oerjan> hm Jafet seems idle
18:04:22 <oerjan> BlueProtoman: yeah.
18:05:04 <BlueProtoman> Awesome.  Thanks.  Three problems to go.
18:05:05 <oerjan> it's just a matter of representation whether you write things down as something assembly like or as a big table of state transitions + commands.
18:05:41 <oerjan> of course your professor presumably has chosen one such representation for you.
18:05:49 <BlueProtoman> So assembly is closer to CS-theoretic abstract machines than, say, Java?
18:06:02 <oerjan> depends on the assembly :P
18:06:15 <Bike> there's always vax's eval poly instruction
18:06:36 <oerjan> SUBLEQ assembly is pretty darn abstract
18:07:55 <oerjan> @tell Jafet simulating fractran is precisely what http://esolangs.org/wiki/Collatz_function does for 3-cell bf.
18:07:56 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
18:09:28 <oerjan> @tell Jafet and it took some munging to get that to fit. i don't think 2-cell can work.
18:09:28 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
18:14:22 <oerjan> @tell Jafet note that your if ... else if construction can easily require 4 cells if you are not very careful. (and swap needs 3 anyway.)

18:45:35 <Taneb> Oh, I've done that already.
18:45:45 <Taneb> You remember my factorial calculator?
18:45:55 <oerjan> um...
18:46:09 <Taneb> The one written in pure, (<*>), and unsafeCoerce?
18:46:18 <oerjan> oh right
18:46:29 <FireFly> unsafeCoerce?
18:46:44 <oerjan> unsafeCoerce does tend to be risky
18:46:44 <FireFly> I'm oddly curious how that works out
18:47:54 <int-e> yay, I'm done! foreign import ccall "math.h sin" csin :: CDouble -> CDouble
18:48:01 <oerjan> FireFly: iirc Taneb used it as I in ski calculus, because haskell cannot type the usual tricks used for recursion in ski calculus but unsafeCoerce brutally circumvents the typing
18:48:12 <Taneb> Yeah, that's right
18:48:22 <oerjan> pure is K and (<*>) is S btw
18:48:24 <Taneb> It was incredibly slow, and only worked up to 11
18:48:29 <Taneb> After that it crashed
18:48:37 <oerjan> heh
18:48:57 <ion> unsafeCoerce is I
18:49:13 <FireFly> Ah
18:49:31 <ion> Oh, that was already said. Should have looked at more than the last four lines.
18:49:39 <oerjan> YES YOU SHOULD
18:50:13 <ion> OH, YOU AGREE?
18:50:41 <oerjan> although hm, i don't think you can actually cause a segfault _purely_ with those three, can you?
18:50:57 <Taneb> I think I did when I was working it out
18:51:13 <Taneb> Like, when I had got it wrong
18:51:18 <oerjan> since there would always be corresponding to a lambda term
18:51:22 <oerjan> *it
18:51:59 <oerjan> of course you applied it to something to get numbers didn't you, at that point things can go wrong
18:52:26 * int-e still doesn't know whether one can implement unsafePerformIO with unsafeCoerce and IO's (>>=) in a way that works across platforms and in conjunction with garbage collection

18:54:11 <fowl> why are monads needed for IO?
18:54:13 <int-e> (the handling of the realWorld# token is slightly magical)
18:54:24 <int-e> fowl: that's a myth.
18:54:32 <Bike> they're not needed, they just make it easier
18:54:41 <int-e> fowl: the monadic IO interface is just convenient
18:54:47 -!- SerialDreamer has left.
18:54:53 <oerjan> fowl: it's just the most convenient pattern to enforce ordering of side effects
18:55:33 <fowl> the diff is like printf(file, "str") vs cout << "hello " << there ?
18:55:42 <fowl> cout << being the monandic version
18:56:13 <oerjan> i want to say "wat" but i'm not _entirely_ sure that analogy is nonsense.
18:56:48 <Bike> it's pretty nonsense
18:56:49 <FireFly> I think that would be more akin to >>= etc vs. do-notation
18:57:23 <fowl> oerjan, well from what i read monad is like a transformation on a value, ofstream's << doesnt transform the ofstream, but it does return it to allow chaining
18:57:42 <int-e> it's half a state monad then
18:57:45 <Bike> i just remembered that if make a burrito joke i will be banned
18:57:46 <int-e> but it misses the return value.
18:58:07 <int-e> Bike: oh?!
18:58:38 <int-e> Bike: Does this apply to just you or is that a general rule?
18:58:46 <fowl> haskell confuses me so much. im pretty sure its either a big inside joke _or_ haskellers just love self-flagellation
18:58:57 -!- ChanServ has set channel mode: +o oerjan.
18:59:01 <FireFly> What about it confuses you?
18:59:43 <Bike> well, let's test
18:59:57 <int-e> fowl: if this is about monads, forget that you ever heard the term and simply use 'do' notation for doing I/O. that should get you pretty far.
19:00:26 <fowl> why can functions only take one argument? whats the deal with returning functions to get around this, surely there is overhead in creating closures
19:00:55 <oerjan> fowl: ghc doesn't allocate closures if a function is fully applied
19:01:05 <oerjan> it tries to be reasonably smart about this.
19:01:23 <int-e> fowl: ah but we like to think of it differently. a function takes n arguments, but we can apply it partially, giving only 1,..., up to n of the arguments and leaving the rest for later.
19:01:40 <int-e> fowl: and indeed ghc also implements it that way.
19:01:47 <Bike> IO is like a burrito. an IO Int is a burrito full of delicious ints, but we can't eat it "until the haskell program has been reduced", which in the metaphor means who cares. sometimes you want to mash up two burritos, like an IO Int and an IO String, to get you something that lets you eat an int first and then a string. it also so happens that this mashup operation is nice to generalize to other foods, so, we package up these ...
19:01:53 <Bike> ... operations in an API and call it "monad" because we hate leibniz but love burritos
19:02:15 <int-e> Bike: this would explain why ghc is so ... large.

19:05:31 <fowl> meh
19:05:42 <fowl> it just seems like more of a badge of honor than a useful thing
19:06:47 <int-e> it's the Haskell cabal.
19:06:51 <Bike> man, i don't even use haskell and i can see why you'd generalize this. it's basic design principles.
19:07:27 <int-e> (*that*'s an inside joke. A weak one, but still.)
19:07:46 <oerjan> int-e: there is no cabal.
19:07:58 <int-e> oerjan: Cabal then. And cabal-install.
19:08:04 <oerjan> (that's an extremely _old_ inside joke)
19:08:07 <shachaf> whoa, remember that one story by heinlein

19:08:53 <Bike> which one is that? i remember the title
19:08:59 <shachaf> the one with the cabal
19:09:08 <shachaf> there was a prophet or something
19:09:46 <int-e> oerjan: Ah. I remember usenet, but I wasn't very active there (and really only in its german subpart anyway, where TINC wouldn't make much sense. (I found a wikipedia page on the subject))
19:10:06 <Bike> looks like i never read it

19:11:17 <ion> fowl: Haskell supports a single tuple of arguments just fine, but it's pretty convenient to be able to apply a function partially without jumping through hoops.
19:11:50 <ion> which currying enables
19:13:34 <oerjan> what does jalapeñoing enable, i wonder.
19:14:06 <ion> Python: map(lambda ys: map(f, ys), xs). Haskell: map (map f) xs
19:16:13 <Bike> hm, does python not have apply
19:16:22 <oerjan> also, haskell supports tuples with more than two elements rather awkwardly.
19:17:06 <oerjan> possibly by design, to discourage using them as ersatz datatypes.
19:17:11 <Bike> 'cos (define (curry f x) (lambda (ys) (apply f (list* x ys)))) and then (map (curry map f) xs)
19:17:29 <Bike> i guess you can call that a hoop but it's not much of one.
19:17:39 <fowl> the page i read about haskell tuples looked like its very flimsy, in a tuple of 2  (_ x _) matches the second item, without an error? what if you tried (_ _ x), would it just fail to match?
19:17:57 <fowl> s/flimsy/forgiving/ 
19:18:14 <oerjan> fowl: you've missed the commas
19:18:26 <fowl> probably
19:18:30 <fowl> i was drunk too
19:18:30 <oerjan> otherwise it would match the third item
19:18:49 <FireFly> "a tuple of 2"?
19:18:50 <fowl> oerjan, there is no third item in (1,2)
19:19:01 <FireFly> (_, x, _) wouldn't match (1,2) I'm pretty sure
19:19:03 <Bike> > (\(_,x,_) -> x) (3,4,5)
19:19:04 <lambdabot>  4
19:19:09 <Bike> Huh.
19:19:13 <FireFly> Mostly because they have different types
19:19:13 <Bike> no, wait, duh.
19:19:14 <oerjan> fowl: in that case neither would match, the pattern needs to have the same number of commas
19:19:16 <Bike> > (\(_,x,_) -> x) (3,4)
19:19:17 <lambdabot>  Couldn't match expected type ‘(t0, t, t1)’
19:19:17 <lambdabot>              with actual type ‘(t2, t3)’
19:19:19 <Bike> right.

01:27:56 <FreeFull> Why do people still use quicksort when radix sort exists?
01:28:33 <pikhq> Because quicksort has "quick" in the name.
01:28:50 <pikhq> I fail to see how radix sort is relevant though: quicksort is honestly a blatant misnomer.
01:29:06 <pikhq> It's literally got O(n^2) worst case performance.

01:32:54 -!- vravn has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
01:33:17 <FreeFull> pikhq: It's faster than merge sort on average though
01:33:29 <FreeFull> And merge sort is O(n log n)
01:33:41 <FreeFull> Radix sort is just O(nk) though
01:33:57 <FreeFull> I mean, merge sort is guaranteed O(n log n)
01:34:39 <FreeFull> Radix sort blows quicksort out of the water
01:35:20 -!- vravn has joined.
01:42:24 <monotone> Only if k <= log(n).
01:43:13 <monotone> If you have a sparse distribution of numbers over some large range it's going to be very inefficient.
01:43:40 <FreeFull> That's true
01:43:56 <FreeFull> But would quicksort for such a distribution be better than merge sort or even insertion sort?
01:46:12 <monotone> Dunno.
01:46:26 <pikhq> Radix sort is O(nk) but not constant in memory usage.
01:46:34 <pikhq> Shell sort is bitchin'.
01:47:14 <FreeFull> There is in-place radix sort, although it's not quite the same
01:48:13 <pikhq> I think the main thing with quicksort *in particular* is, in general what you want from a sorting algorithm is not absolute fastest time, but rather consistently not-slow time.
01:48:22 <pikhq> Especially when dealing with, say, a library function.
01:48:32 <pikhq> That you Want to be robust against potentially malicious input.
01:49:41 <pikhq> "Usually fast, but sometimes ungodly slow" is not a good thing.
01:53:03 <FreeFull> pikhq: If you have n 128-bit numbers, it's going to take radix sort the same amount of time to sort them no matter what they are
01:53:39 <pikhq> Yes. Radix sort is a good algorithm, and should probably be used when applicable.
01:53:55 <pikhq> My complaints were with quicksort, not radix sort.
01:54:41 <FreeFull> Shell sort seems to have the same asymptotic complexities as quicksort, so simplicity and constant factors would be the thing to consider
01:55:10 <pikhq> Shell sort has worst-case O(n log n).
01:55:19 <pikhq> Erm, wait.
01:55:21 <pikhq> Smooth.
01:55:23 <pikhq> That's what I meant.
01:55:31 <pikhq> Jeeze, I must be sleepy today.
01:55:41 <pikhq> Shell sort is not at all what I meant to recommend. :)
01:56:09 <pikhq> Your being confused at me is very understandable.
01:59:05 <FreeFull> Shell sort isn't stable, but in-place quicksort isn't either
01:59:19 <FreeFull> What sort did you mean then?
02:04:13 <pikhq> Smoothsort.
02:04:36 <pikhq> Or... well. At least something that isn't worst-case suboptimal.
02:04:58 <pikhq> Which is definitely not shell. :)
02:13:53 <FreeFull> Ah, heapsort variation
02:14:06 <FreeFull> That takes advantage of runs
02:14:44 <pikhq> Yep.
02:52:30 <kmc> FreeFull: you can't always use radix at all
02:52:47 <kmc> you might only have pairwise comparison

11:07:53 <Jafet> How long must we long for long long long!
11:09:17 <Melvar> mroman_: Would it comply with the standard?
11:09:27 <mroman_> long long is guaranteed to be 64bits
11:09:42 <mroman_> but that's it
11:10:19 <Melvar> mroman_: You mean, exactly 64 bits, not ≥64?
11:10:43 <mroman_> I mean "at least"
11:11:07 <Melvar> Okay, that’s what I would have expected. Thanks.
11:11:12 <Jafet> There is no required integer type required to have an exact bit size
11:11:31 <mroman_> The C standard only defines the manimum range of a long long
11:11:59 <mroman_> *minimum
11:12:31 <Jafet> This is so that WG14 sponsors can make a 32-bit sandwich toaster and advertise support for ISO standard C
11:12:32 <mroman_> You should use int128_t if you wan't exactly 128bits
11:12:41 <mroman_> but I'm not sure how much support compilers have for intN_t
11:13:00 <mroman_> I don't get it why compilers use non-standard stuff like __int128
11:13:06 <mroman_> when they could just use int128_t
11:13:43 <Melvar> mroman_: I was just wondering; I don’t need a 128-bit type for anything.
11:14:00 <mroman_> You better use inttypes .
11:14:20 <mroman_> I don't see a reason to use long long
11:14:27 <mroman_> I don't see a reason to use int for that matter
11:14:36 <mroman_> it's broken
11:15:00 <mroman_> for(int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) { /* hurray, I'm crappy unportable code */ }
11:15:09 <mroman_> *100000
11:15:56 <mroman_> Melvar: My opinion on those regular C types is "They suck"
11:16:00 <Jafet> It's a feature to prevent idiots with obsolete computers from enjoying the software
11:16:09 <mroman_> Exactly!
11:16:22 <mroman_> There's no guarantee an int can hold 100k
11:16:39 <mroman_> on my obsolete computer .
11:17:06 <Melvar> I did once program a microcontroller with a 16-bit int, I think.
11:17:16 <Jafet> Well, the real problem is that int is no longer mapped to machine words by any amd64 compiler (and on most of them, not even long)
11:17:24 <mroman_> int is at least 2^16
11:17:35 <Jafet> So you have people writing int left and right and the compiler has to sign-extend them all
11:17:38 <mroman_> but nobody said it can hold 32bit values
11:17:47 <Jafet> It's p. efficient
11:18:36 <mroman_> well
11:18:44 <mroman_> There's int_fast32_t!
11:19:29 <Jafet> Pretty sure that's still mapped to int to appease the peasants
11:19:37 <mroman_> which, if you use on a 64bit machine probably gives you an int64_t?
11:19:59 <mroman_> which means that you better not rely on 32bit wrap-arounds .
11:20:07 <Jafet> No, I don't know any compiler that maps int to int64_t
11:20:20 <Jafet> I think posix requires int to have at least 32 bits, though
11:20:36 <mroman_> I don't know any compiler that maps int to int64_t 
11:20:42 <mroman_> but a compiler is allowed to do so
11:20:58 <Jafet> In practice, it's not going to happen
11:21:16 <mroman_> why not?
11:21:33 <Jafet> It will break milljeeons of programs
11:21:35 <mroman_> I could imagine that int64_t is faster 
11:21:48 <mroman_> Jafet: I don't care about breaking millions of crappy written programs .
11:21:50 <mroman_> ;)
11:22:04 <mroman_> If you rely on int to be 32bit you don't know C
11:22:07 <Jafet> Good thing you're not writing compilers, then
11:22:11 <Jafet> Or programs
11:23:14 <Melvar> If one relies on 32-bit wraparounds, it needs int32_t and -fwrapv at least, I believe.
11:23:53 <mroman_> Yeah
11:23:59 <mroman_> wrap-arounds are evil anyway
11:24:12 <mroman_> but what kind of evil stuff were people doing so that the code breaks if int is suddenly 64bit wide?
11:24:36 <mroman_> (relying on wrap-arounds would be one thing)
11:24:55 <Jafet> Not evil, just stupid
11:24:59 <Melvar> ( the Int maxBound
11:24:59 <idris-bot> Can't resolve type class MaxBound Int
11:25:33 <Melvar> Oh, right, it won’t actually be known …

11:26:23 <Jafet> Wow, gcc fucks the peasants
11:27:43 <mroman_> hm?
11:27:51 <mroman_> looks like int_fast32_t is 64bit
11:28:45 <mroman_> although I'm currently reading something about "you can fit more 32bit ints into the cache so it's faster"
11:28:57 <mroman_> You certainly can fit more 32bit ints into a cache line
11:29:25 <mroman_> so...
11:30:40 <mroman_> If you do 32bit computations on 16 integers
11:30:45 <mroman_> they fit neatly into a cache line
11:30:52 <mroman_> wherease 16 64bit integers wouldn't!
11:31:27 <mroman_> well...
11:31:33 <mroman_> Somebody should test that
11:33:54 <mroman_> My gcc is probably 32bit though

17:35:27 <myname> i feel dirty using nested wheres in haskell
17:35:58 -!- Tritonio has joined.
17:36:41 <Jafet> Those dirty where nests
17:37:06 <kmc> i wrote some rust code with early return inside a match inside a macro inside a guard
17:41:10 <kmc> match () { _ if match self.lookahead_and_consume(6, |s| s.eq_ignore_ascii_case("public")) { None => return true, Some(r) => r } => go!(to AfterDoctypeKeyword Public), ... }
17:43:43 <ais523> what does go! do?
17:44:07 <ais523> also, I approve of that case-insensitive equality operation
17:44:56 <myname> why is ascii mentioned there?
17:45:04 <myname> does it respect other types of cases?
17:45:22 <kmc> no, it doesn't do Unicode case folding, which is very complicated and also not what's in the relevant spec
17:45:59 <kmc> ais523: it's another macro I defined, a DSL for writing HTML tokenizer actions in a concise way  https://github.com/kmcallister/html5/blob/master/src/tokenizer/mod.rs#L475-L543
17:46:00 -!- Sprocklem has joined.
17:46:08 <ais523> there are a bunch of ways to do case folding
17:46:12 <ais523> ASCII case folding is at least well-defined
17:46:23 <kmc> well-defined, simple, fast, not locale-dependent
17:48:17 <kmc> the HTML parsing spec mostly doesn't interpret non-ASCII characters
17:48:31 <kmc> because it's not like past software has handled them consistently
17:51:36 <kmc> this is also handy because a parser operating on UTF-8 can do most operations on bytes without decoding them to codepoints
17:51:51 -!- john_metcalf has joined.
17:53:57 <kmc> which in turn makes it easier to use SIMD instructions
17:54:37 <ais523> SIMD parsing :-)
17:54:54 <ais523> wouldn't UTF-32 be faster for that, if you had to handle Unicode codepoints, but didn't care about grapheme clusters?
17:55:17 <ais523> although that would probably suffer from caching issues
17:55:38 <kmc> yeah, increasing memory traffic 4x will probably kill other gains
17:55:47 <kmc> and most content comes off the wire as UTF-8 so you would need to convert it first
17:56:05 <kmc> (and basically no content comes as UTF-32; I'm not sure it's even allowed)
17:56:21 <ais523> I want a UTF-graphemecluster
17:56:30 <ais523> even if it's hundreds of bytes per cluster
17:56:37 -!- john_metcalf has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
17:56:40 <ais523> actually, that's how ncursesw works internally
17:57:22 <kmc> i'm not sure that grapheme clusters are relevant to any part of the web stack
17:58:39 <kmc> high quality text shaping for proportional fonts can map any number of codepoints to any number of (translated, scaled, etc.) glyphs
17:59:28 <kmc> but the input to the shaping library might be a sequence of grapheme clusters? i've forgotten
18:02:06 <kmc> in servo I mean
18:05:06 <ais523_> oh, right, I forgot that Rust is made by a browser company
18:05:08 <ais523_> I was just thinking in general
18:05:16 <kmc> heh
18:06:56 <kmc> I am writing a HTML parser for Servo but I want it to be a generally useful library, which is tricky because browsers have some unusual requirements
18:10:16 -!- edwardk has joined.
18:10:32 <kmc> I think there are a lot of open questions about API design in Rust generally
18:10:44 <FreeFull> Is Servo Rust's only killer program so far?
18:11:02 <kmc> because of the need to accommodate library users with different memory management strategies, in a safe API
18:11:19 <FreeFull> It seems to be quite influential to Rust's design
18:12:01 <kmc> I think I care more about getting higher-kinded polymorphism after considering its use with lifetime variables
18:12:47 <kmc> FreeFull: well, what do you mean by killer program?
18:12:59 <ais523> FreeFull: it may be the motivating application
18:13:10 <kmc> Servo is probably the second largest program written in Rust, but it's not usable for anything real yet
18:13:10 <ais523> like, aimake is mostly used on NetHack, because that's what I needed it for
18:13:27 <kmc> (it's like 100k SLoC)
18:13:35 <kmc> rustc is like 300k
18:13:42 <ais523> ooh, self-hosting already?
18:13:43 <kmc> including the bundled libs etc
18:13:48 <kmc> ais523: yes, for some years now
18:14:01 <ais523> for Rust, I think that makes sense
18:14:01 <kmc> ais523: the runtime system is also self hosting, which is a lot more unusual
18:14:05 <ais523> there's some debate about whether languages should self-host
18:14:14 <ais523> but something with Rust's aims should probably be able to
18:14:21 <kmc> i mean, not every language is a good choice for writing a compiler
18:14:25 <ais523> exactly
18:14:28 <kmc> so there isn't a general answer to the question of "should you self-host"
18:14:34 <ais523> here, we identify the languages that aren't
18:14:35 <kmc> but yeah, I think for Rust it's a defensible decision at least
18:14:41 <ais523> then write self-compilers in them anyway
18:15:13 <kmc> the compiler still makes heavy use internally of the deprecated refcounted @-boxes
18:15:16 <kmc> :/
18:15:21 <kmc> which have been removed in favor of a Rc<T> library type
18:15:34 <kmc> self-hosting is a big pain when your language is still evolving so rapidly
18:15:54 <ais523> is it possible to change from one to the other in an automated way?
18:15:59 <ais523> like, the syntax for ~-boxes is also changing
18:16:04 <ais523> that's been the big Rust news recently
18:16:12 <kmc> they've done some automated refactorings I know
18:16:15 <ais523> everyone seems to expect a huge outcry, yet it never emerges
18:16:20 <kmc> pcwalton wrote a big perl script
18:16:25 <kmc> ais523: i whined about it in #rust yesterday
18:16:46 <ais523> oh, I was expecting something parsetree-based, but I guess it's hard to preserve comments when doing that
18:16:47 <kmc> 15:36 <@kmc> for f**ks sake
18:16:47 <kmc> 15:36 <@kmc> at this rate in another year Rust will be the SK calculus
18:17:10 <nortti> is there a SK-calculus self-compiler?
18:17:25 <kmc> Rust has a syntactic concept of a "token tree", which is useful for macros and automated refactoring
18:17:37 <kmc> I don't know if other languages have this
18:17:54 <nortti> lisp macros?
18:17:56 <ais523> nortti: there are Unlambda self-compilers
18:18:05 <ais523> which is about as close as you'll get
18:18:10 <ais523> err, self-interps
18:18:13 <kmc> it's a tree of balanced parentheses (and brackets etc.) where the leaves are tokens
18:18:19 <ais523> those are basically SK + C + I/O
18:18:23 <kmc> nortti: yeah, I guess it is similar to manipulating code as S-expressions
18:18:28 <Bike> probably closer to an AST than s-expressions are?
18:19:00 <kmc> but Rust has a lot more expression grammar than Lisp; it's just that you can manipulate code before the stage at which that grammar is implemented
18:19:22 <kmc> but I'm fond of pointing out that Lisp also secretly has a lot of expression grammar
18:20:18 <kmc> FreeFull: Servo has been influential to Rust's design, certainly, but I think somewhat less than one might expect
18:20:23 <Bike> and not-secretly. the BNF for loop is a couple pages long
18:20:29 <kmc> heh
18:20:51 <nortti> loop really is a beast

18:21:21 <Bike> and shivers's loop is the same way, so there go any "uh but loop isn't REALLY lisp" crapola

18:54:34 <olsner> oh, it's not x86+arm in one cpu chip, but different pin-compatible x86 and arm cpus, I guess
18:55:22 <mroman_> lame
18:55:30 <mroman_> I thought it's a hardware translator between those two
18:55:43 <mroman_> like a ARM chip that also supports x86
18:55:53 <mroman_> oh
18:56:03 <olsner> you can get almost that with qemu, I think
18:56:07 <mroman_> that'd be the same as you said :)
18:56:07 <ais523> you could almost do that in microcode
18:56:14 <ais523> we need a customizable-microcode chip, really

19:28:36 <oerjan> FireFly: um how can Zero be both unusable for programming and turing-complete
19:29:33 <FireFly> I thought "unusable for programming" was supposed to be in terms of practicality
19:29:49 <oerjan> in _our_ community?
19:29:59 <FireFly> ...fair point
19:30:08 <FireFly> I'm not sure why I had that idea
19:31:27 <oerjan> although looking at the actual language, i think it's more likely that it's not tc..
19:32:00 <oerjan> by the unusual way of not having any computable reduction from a turing machine to it.
19:32:26 <oerjan> um or the other way, for that matter.
19:33:52 <oerjan> hm actually it _might_ be possible to reduce some universal bf program with input to it.
19:34:35 <oerjan> because the halting sequence will only start being undecidable from some point on, and that point may very well be pretty large
19:36:27 <ais523_> this is like saying "is BF with a source code limit of 200 bytes TC?"
19:36:34 <oerjan> yep
19:36:47 <ais523_> it would be very hard to prove that the answer is no, but if the answer is yes, a proof would likely be trivial

19:42:16 <oerjan> well without the space
19:42:33 <oerjan> also he used to have his surname in the /whois but i see it's gone
19:45:23 <fizzie> I went to an IBM recruiting event today, and they made a snide joke at Google's expense.
19:45:31 <oerjan> hm it might actually possible to program in zero entirely, if undecidable points in the halting sequence are sparse enough.
19:46:19 <ais523> oerjan: can you at least force such points to never be an unmatched bracket?
19:46:28 <ais523> if not, the first one is going to mess up your bracket matching
19:46:41 <ais523> also, I have a feeling that Zero may be uncomputable
19:46:59 <oerjan> yeah that's the main problem, you need to have no 3 in a row.
19:47:43 <oerjan> actually 2 in a row is also a problem if they're the first two in a triple
19:48:31 <ais523> "fun" exercise: write a program in Zero that halts if and only if it doesn't halt
19:48:37 -!- newsham has joined.
19:48:56 <oerjan> ais523: not sure that's possible to achieve
19:49:02 <ais523> neither am I
19:49:07 <ais523> but if it is, it'd say something about the language
19:49:37 <oerjan> after all the programs tested for the halting sequence are logarithmically shorter than the program you are constructing.
19:50:06 <ais523> you could insert a bunch of NOPs, but even then it'd cause problems
19:50:16 <ais523> because you couldn't reliably make them NOPs
19:50:27 <ais523> like, it'd work if you had "immutable NOPs", Malbolge-style
19:50:37 <ais523> (also programming in Zero would be very easy if you did)
19:50:41 <oerjan> also i think the specification of Zero has some weak points.  like the fact that ordinary lexicographic order isn't isomorphic to the natural numbers.
19:51:00 <oerjan> and also, what happens to malformed programs tested in the halting sequence
19:51:02 <fowl> isomorphic is so 90s
19:51:12 <fowl> now we say isographic 
19:51:24 * oerjan categorically swats fowl -----###
19:51:28 <fowl> read in the same tone you would read "reaganomics"
19:52:08 <oerjan> also i'm pretty sure Zero is uncomputable if you make no attempt to avoid the undecidable points in the halting sequence.
19:53:02 <oerjan> and come to think about it, avoiding 3 undecidables in a row also seems impossible, even if you can assume malformed programs have an easy value.
19:53:27 <ais523> I imagine the undecidables take quite a while to show up
19:53:28 -!- Sprocklem has joined.
19:53:36 <oerjan> yeah
19:53:39 <shachaf> ais523: Hmm, I guess "Shachaf Ben-Kiki" would work.
19:53:45 <shachaf> ais523: Which Haskell help was this?
19:53:56 <oerjan> but i'm thinking of translating general bf programs to it
19:53:57 <ais523> the rank-2 polymorphism declaration
19:54:28 <ais523> I'm trying to give an example of "this program can type with this type in at least one widely used language, but the inference algorithm can't figure it out itself"
19:55:06 <shachaf> Oh, that. OK.
19:56:44 <ais523> perhaps I'll remove the argument altogether because it turned into a bit of a mess
19:57:13 <HackEgo> [wiki] [[Zero]]  http://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=39466&oldid=39465 * Oerjan * (+18) I'm going to assume you meant this, as the original doesn't give a sequence order
19:57:42 <ais523> shachaf: huh, I thought that name was familiar; I looked at the monitor on my desk, and it has the YAML spec open
19:57:47 <ais523> and one of the authors is Oren Ben-Kiki
19:57:59 <ais523> (and another has a surname of "döt Net")
19:59:36 <ais523> thanks for the help, anyway
19:59:43 <oerjan> ais523: i am thinking that if you could only avoid undecidable brackets in zero (which alas i don't think you can), then all other problems could probably be solved with the ][...] comment trick.
19:59:56 <ais523> oerjan: yes, that would probably work
20:00:16 <ais523> then you could just pad out with 3^n +-+-+-+-
20:00:26 <ais523> and create a paradoxical program
20:00:39 <ais523> that's some level above uncomputable, I think
20:00:56 <ais523> not just "cannot be implemented without an oracle", but "an implementation directly causes a paradox"
20:01:13 <oerjan> um i wasn't thinking of paradoxes here
20:01:23 <oerjan> just general translation to zero
20:01:39 -!- nooodl has joined.
20:01:48 <ais523> well, if you can translate any BF program to zero in linear time
20:01:51 <ais523> you can produce a paradox
20:01:52 <oerjan> but you are right about the padding, that means you can find equivalent elements further out in the sequence
20:02:33 <shachaf> ais523: Yes.
20:02:39 <shachaf> an ancestor of mine
20:03:20 <ais523> now I'm imagining that the YAML spec is hundreds of years old, which is an awesome mental image
20:04:56 <kmc> hichaf
20:05:46 <fizzie> Is the proper answer "himc", I wonder.
20:05:56 <oerjan> ais523: hm i don't think you can make a paradoxical program in Zero, because the encoding is not self-referential in the right way - the halting sequence tests _unencoded_ programs.
20:06:19 <ais523> oerjan: it doesn't have to test itself for halting
20:06:23 <ais523> just a program that is equivalent to itself
20:06:57 <oerjan> well what i'm saying is Zero programs cannot actually do halting tests once they're up and running.
20:07:57 <oerjan> oh hum on rereading the spec it implies the ordering skips unmatched programs.
20:08:42 <ais523> oerjan: oh, I see; they can test most of themself
20:09:00 <ais523> but they can't test the unsure instruction that they're testing without first knowing what it'll be
20:09:22 <ais523> if we think as a program as a function from the haltingness of a particular other program P to a termination status
20:09:33 <ais523> then P cannot equal the entire /function/, just the application of that function to some argument
20:09:42 <ais523> and that argument has to be defined as a constant, it can't come from a halting oracle
20:10:07 <oerjan> my real argument is that as written, the halting sequence is mathematically well defined, and so therefore is the semantics of a zero program, and so there cannot be any paradox.
20:10:29 <ais523> right
20:10:34 <ais523> I was trying to expose the hole in my argument
20:10:39 <ais523> rather than the hole in yours
20:10:40 <ais523> and I think I found it
20:11:52 <oerjan> fizzie: no the proper response is kmcello hth
20:17:43 <oerjan> hm i'm starting to wonder if you may have enough control of consecutive elements in the halting sequence to at least know whether they give the _same_ bit or not.
20:18:28 <oerjan> like, programs that don't end in brackets will come in groups of 6, all of which must do the same thing.
20:18:36 <oerjan> (afa halting is concerned)
20:19:04 <oerjan> and that is enough to avoid encoding brackets with them
20:23:08 <oerjan> so the trouble happens with programs ending with ]
20:24:40 <oerjan> hm and those can do wild things, like P+] P-] P>] P<] are consequtive in the order.
20:26:13 <oerjan> which is almost certainly enough to encode switching between two independent undecidable subprograms.

21:42:14 <john_metcalf> Have any computers other than PDP-11 got a single instruction which copies itself through the entire memory? The PDP-11 instruction is MOV -(PC),-(PC)
21:44:34 <ais523> john_metcalf: you should talk to impomatic about that, pity impomatic isn't online
21:44:51 <ais523> that's a major part of CoreWars strategy, the fact that Redcode has an instruction that does that

21:46:10 <HackEgo> Done.
21:46:17 <ais523> elliott: it's funnier with the context
21:46:26 <oerjan> ain't it always.
21:46:27 <elliott> feel free to readd
21:46:29 <ais523> oh, is that why you reverted, to add the context?
21:47:07 <ais523> hmm
21:47:18 <ais523> most processors don't have PC-relative addressing
21:47:28 <ais523> because compilers typically know where their output is in the program
21:47:36 <fizzie> Is that true?
21:48:02 <fizzie> X86-64 does, ARM does (IIRC).
21:48:14 <kmc> ais523: not with dynamic linking
21:48:15 <elliott> ais523: no, to let others add it if they wish
21:48:28 <john_metcalf> None of the processors I've used allow anything similar to be created.
21:48:54 <kmc> for dynamic linking it's desirable to emit position-independent code, and in that case PC-relative addressing is very useful
21:48:57 <ais523> you might manage it on a processor where the PC is memory-mapped /and/ indirect addressing is supported
21:49:18 <kmc> PIC has a pretty severe performance penalty on 32-bit x86 because of the need to reserve a register for an offset
21:50:41 <ais523> dynamic linking is relatively recent compared to the history of programmers, though, isn't it?
21:50:42 <fizzie> Does it count if you need to set registeres to particular values before the one instruction? 
21:51:03 <ais523> fizzie: some sort of movsw instruction?
21:51:11 <kmc> dynamic linking isn't that recent, but there are different implementation strategies and they don't all require PIC
21:51:21 <kmc> http://www.iecc.com/linkers/ has lots on this
21:51:22 <ais523> that's basically *di++ = *si++, if you make di the next line and si the current line
21:51:29 <ais523> then it should keep going until di overflows
21:52:09 <fizzie> I don't see why it'd stop there.
21:52:36 <fizzie> Assuming all address space is mapped and rwx, anyway.
21:54:01 <fizzie> Though a rep stos with the maximum count sounds approximately the same.
21:54:30 <kmc> if a REP MOVSB instruction overwrites itself, the repetition stops after the next processor interrupt
21:54:49 <kmc> which is something emulators tend to implement incorrectly
21:54:50 <kmc> http://repzret.org/p/rep-prefix-and-detecting-valgrind/
21:55:01 <fizzie> But that wasn't a rep.
21:55:18 <fizzie> Interesting, though.
21:55:20 <ais523> kmc: it's not a rep, you're copying the movsb onto the next instruction
21:55:24 <kmc> yeah this is a tangent
21:55:24 <ais523> then executing the new copy
21:55:27 <ais523> imp-style
21:55:27 <kmc> just a bizarre fact
21:55:41 <ais523> also, detecting valgrind is easy
21:55:51 <kmc> because of client requests?
21:55:55 <ais523> yes
21:55:58 <kmc> yeah
21:56:05 <kmc> there really should be a way to disable those, but I didn't find one
21:56:19 <nooodl> kmc: that is cool
21:56:21 <ais523> I remember fixing JPC-RR to do pipeline flushing on self-modifying code
21:56:30 <ais523> it used to just run the old version of the code, and it has a very long pipeline
21:56:32 <kmc> I was wondering if e.g. Native Client code running in Valgrind could use client requests to escape the sandbox
21:56:35 <ais523> I needed to do that so that NetHack would run correctly
21:56:47 <ais523> kmc: there's a client request for "run this on the real CPU", so trivially
21:57:23 <kmc> yeah
21:57:44 <kmc> now how hard is it to set up a NaCl toolchain so i can write a PoC
21:58:13 <ais523> NaCl uses valgrind?
21:58:19 <kmc> no
21:58:27 <kmc> but you can run a NaCl program in Valgrind, like any other program
21:58:29 <ais523> oh, I see
21:58:36 <kmc> and in this case it makes it less secure, not more :)
21:58:46 <ais523> is it still using the prctl-based sandbox? or has it moved to a different sandbox?
21:59:02 <ais523> prctl's basically undefeatable because it limits the syscalls you can use and there's no way to undo it
21:59:28 <ais523> as in, you need to find a kernel bug to get around it no matter how many layers of emulation are used, so long as the emulator runs the prctl call itself
21:59:41 <kmc> no, NaCl is used for sandboxing within a process, aiui
21:59:50 <ais523> oh right
21:59:54 <ais523> I was thinking of a different sandbox entirely
22:00:07 <kmc> I think NaCl in Chrome will run in a process sandbox too
22:00:10 <kmc> but that's separate
22:00:11 <ais523> NaCl's the "run a static analyser on the code to make sure it doesn't try to do anything nasty, then run it unmodified" system
22:00:22 <kmc> NaCl uses a conservative subset of x86 with well behaved static semantics
22:00:28 <john_metcalf> MOVSB imp doesn't work because of the prefetch queue.  (Works in a debugger though).
22:00:28 <kmc> plus segmentation
22:00:54 <ais523> john_metcalf: huh, pipeline behaviour causing problems on real processors?
22:01:01 <kmc> I always wondered about memory ordering with self-modifying code
22:01:04 <ais523> what about in 8086 mode?
22:01:24 <kmc> since there's no way to put a read barrier before the other CPU's fetch
22:01:25 <ais523> I know that NetHack overwrites the argument of an int instruction, then runs that instruction immediately afterwards
22:01:42 <ais523> to run arbitrary interrupts
22:02:28 <kmc> why
22:03:00 <john_metcalf> Can't be done on a Z80 without looping. (Demo here) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPqDksPdNiE
22:03:06 <fizzie> How about a "movsd; jmp $+2" one? (Modulo instruction length issues. And not a single instruction.)
22:03:57 <olsner> the manuals do mention self-modifying code with multiple cpus, basically saying "don't do that"
22:03:58 <ais523> I think there might even be room for a NOP in there

22:13:10 <olsner> hmm, actually I remembered that wrong, they instead describe some appropriate synchronization procedures for getting cross-modified code to run properly
22:14:19 -!- Sprocklem has joined.
22:14:24 <olsner> basically use a memory flag to indicate when your modification is complete, then do cpuid before you jump to any of the modifying code
22:15:22 <ais523> cpuid's a memory barrier?
22:15:25 <ais523> cross-processor?
22:15:29 <ais523> weird instruction to use
22:16:11 <olsner> it's not for memory, I think, but for serializing and emptying pipelines and the whatnots
22:16:32 <ais523> err, instruction cache barrier
22:16:50 <olsner> if it's not cross-cpu doing a jump is enough (but cpuid also works)
22:19:28 <kmc> CPUID is a memory barrier but there are better memory barrier instructions
22:19:44 <kmc> and yeah it's also a barrier to OOE
22:19:50 -!- Bicyclidine has joined.
22:19:57 <kmc> I don't know which other instructions are
22:20:39 <kmc> some hypervisors virtualize CPUID which makes it very slow for this purpose
22:20:47 <kmc> also, there totally are legitimate use cases for multi-threaded self modifying code
22:22:56 <zzo38> Self modifying codes can be very useful
22:23:56 <zzo38> CPUID isn't a very good idea

01:48:45 <kmc> indeed
01:49:05 <kmc> can SQLite's WITH RECURSIVE do the latter?
01:49:38 <copumpkin> in postgres a recursive CTE can do arbitrary things, I think
01:49:51 <copumpkin> which I assume sqlite is implementing too
01:49:55 <zzo38> kmc: Yes, although only for read-data, not for calling triggers and so on.
01:50:26 <zzo38> (Also, the RECURSIVE keyword is optional and doesn't do anything; it is there for compatibility and to remind you if you need reminding.)
01:51:00 <kmc> ah
01:52:55 <zzo38> When inserting into a view with triggers attached (it is an error to insert into a view without triggers attached), the SELECT statement is first run completely before the trigger is fired even once, so if a recursive WITH clause in the SELECT statement giving the data to insert results in an infinite number of result rows, it will run out of memory before the trigger is fired.
01:54:22 <zzo38> I have written an extension to add new syntax such as CREATE FUNCTION, CREATE MACRO, CREATE NAMESPACE, CREATE COLLATION, but cannot quite figure out how to add a proper syntax for traps and "mu-loops" which are usable inside of trigger programs.

10:37:17 <mhi^> FireFly's law of IRC.
10:37:36 <Taneb> FireFly, does that apply to channels you aren't in?
10:39:07 <FireFly> I'm not sure, possibly
10:39:57 <Taneb> Although yes, I think the only channel I'm in that doesn't have people I'm not in other channels with is #dwarffortress
10:42:23 <Taneb> That is, you can draw a sort of graph of channels I'm in and there are other people in multiple channels I'm in
10:42:37 <Taneb> And that's the only disconnected one
10:46:04 <oerjan> but are there isolated clusters?
10:47:19 * oerjan tries to remember if that rail compiler guy has been on the channel.

18:11:35 <Slereah> I wonder
18:11:58 <Slereah> Can you write a simple exponential function if you use non-floating points functions?
18:12:47 <Slereah> Like a fixed point real
18:13:12 <Slereah> Hm
18:13:19 <Slereah> log2 might
18:13:31 <Bike> er, what?
18:13:50 <Bike> of course you can write exp for other representations.
18:14:19 <HackEgo> [wiki] [[Talk:Zero]]  http://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=39471&oldid=39470 * Oerjan * (+846) My guesses etc.
18:14:58 <Slereah> I am just wondering if there is one that doesn't require some long ass series representation
18:15:31 <oerjan> the series for exp is about as simple as they come.
18:15:46 <Slereah> True, but they don't use that one!
18:16:17 <Slereah> It converges way too slowly and only around a particular point
18:16:39 <oerjan> hm
18:16:41 -!- ^v has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
18:16:49 <oerjan> well it's faster the closer you are to that point.
18:17:08 <Slereah> The implementations I've seen usually use the Remez algorithm
18:17:09 <Bike> no, slereah's right, the taylor series really isn't adequate. actual implementations use other polynomials
18:17:12 <Bike> right
18:17:27 <oerjan> shocking
18:17:29 <Bike> honestly, polynomials are pretty simple, though
18:17:38 <Slereah> True
18:17:40 -!- ^v has joined.
18:17:44 <Slereah> I am just wondering if you can
18:17:46 <Slereah> GO FASTER
18:17:59 <oerjan> just make it red hth
18:18:14 <Slereah> Unfortunately it is not Ork arithmetics
18:18:48 <Bike> you could use the iterated log representation and define exp as adding one to the exp tower
18:18:51 <Bike> p. easy
18:19:07 * oerjan hasn't actually played WH40K but he's visited the wiki
18:19:31 <Bike> (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_level-index_arithmetic it's actually used! almost sorta)
18:19:57 <Slereah> Neat~
18:20:24 <Bike> more practically there's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gal%27s_accurate_tables and a bunch of other shit i imagine
18:20:27 <Bike> tables ftw
18:20:48 <Bike> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table-maker%27s_dilemma#The_table-maker.27s_dilemma on the other hand
18:23:41 <oerjan> Bike: fascinating
18:25:55 <Slereah> I also wonder if having a fraction type might be useful for precision
18:26:13 <Slereah> Though I suppose the risk is having 1000/2000 for 1/2
18:26:44 <Slereah> But you could reduce to common denominators if it overflows I guess
18:28:15 <nortti> scheme actually has fraction type, iirc
18:28:48 <oerjan> i think if you try to use a fraction type with series you'll overflow even the reduced term pretty fast.
18:29:06 <Slereah> Maybe.
18:29:22 <Slereah> Hm
18:29:42 -!- MoALTz_ has joined.
18:29:52 <Slereah> Do any languages use some totally symbolic representations for math?
18:29:57 <Slereah> Outside of Mathematica, I guess
18:30:01 <nortti> what if the fraction type is stored as 2xbigint
18:30:10 <Bike> most lisps have a rational type, yes
18:30:11 <nortti> hmm, *2 bigints
18:30:13 <Bike> and it's basically 2 bigints
18:30:17 <Slereah> Like keep exp(x) as e^x
18:30:22 <oerjan> nortti: then you'll eventually run out of memory.
18:30:24 <Slereah> At least for the duration of the computation
18:30:37 <Slereah> And then apply arithmetic rules to it
18:30:39 <Bike> and it reduces fractions so there's no risk s mentioned
18:30:49 <Bike> Slereah: yeah, sure.
18:30:57 -!- MindlessDrone has quit (Quit: MindlessDrone).
18:31:01 <Bike> here's one http://www.haible.de/bruno/MichaelStoll/reals.html
18:31:04 <oerjan> note that if you add n fractions with relatively prime denominators, the new denominator is the product of all of them...
18:31:18 <Slereah> Nice
18:31:38 <Bike> well, i suppose haskell CReal or whatever does that too
18:31:45 <Slereah> oerjan : but is that different from fixed point reals
18:31:55 -!- MoALTz has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
18:32:19 <oerjan> Slereah: well fixed point reals will lose precision instead...
18:32:20 <Bike> also, for totally different ways to compute exp, you could simulate the ODE for a while, that would be fun and implausible
18:32:45 <oerjan> although not as much for addition i guess
18:32:52 <Bike> and for different representation you could use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_continued_fraction_formula#The_exponential_function ~
18:33:29 <Bike> so many ridiculous possibilities.
18:33:33 <Slereah> I knooow

18:34:02 <Slereah> Markov did a neat little paper on ways to represent computable real numbers
18:34:33 <Bike> markov the younger, or what
18:34:34 <Slereah> He did it as three µ-recursive functions, f(x) - g(x) / h(x)
18:35:07 <Bike> oh right markov the younger worked in computability, i totally forgot
18:36:06 <Bike> oh, and schonhage, i.e. /that/ schonhage, does stuff with complexity of analytics http://www.iai.uni-bonn.de/~schoe/topics.html
18:36:11 <Bike> (4)
18:36:30 <Bike> for a usual positional representation, of course
18:37:12 <Slereah> I like how matrix multiplication has some very "fast" algorithms
18:37:23 <Bike> "so fast"
18:37:28 <Slereah> But they are so ridiculously overcharged with calculations that they are basically never useful
18:38:08 <Bike> well, schonhage multiplication (of scalars, not matrices) /is/ actually practical for some numbers
18:38:33 <Bike> for when you have, like, numbers that are 3 KB long, but that's not too bad :V
18:38:57 <Slereah> How often do you have numbers 3 kB long

18:39:55 <Bike> "Applications of the Schönhage–Strassen algorithm include mathematical empiricism, such as the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search and computing approximations of π, as well as practical applications such as Kronecker substitution, in which multiplication of polynomials with integer coefficients can be efficiently reduced to large integer multiplication"
18:40:31 <Bike> mathematical empiricism is so great. the polynomials for bifurcation constants own
18:40:31 <Slereah> At least the fast matrix multiplication is useful if the matrix is a few thousand entries wide
18:40:43 <Slereah> Which happens a fair bit!
18:40:54 <Bike> yeah, i work with big matrices at work. linear algebra's too useful.

20:23:15 <fizzie> There seemed to be no traps at that Google recruiting event I talked about previously.

20:25:49 <oerjan> fizzie: are you sure you're not still there, inside a virtual reality room
20:26:23 <fizzie> I guess they're concentrating that more on their stand at the conference, but it makes me wonder if the event had much of a purpose. Though I guess purely by accident there must've been a couple recruiting-related Googler/non-Googler interactions.
20:26:40 <fizzie> I'm not sure of that, but at least the view was nice.

20:28:14 <fizzie> (Green and furry.)
20:28:37 <int-e> fizzie: no parachute required?
20:29:00 <int-e> as I recall you were making plans for an emergency exit
20:29:09 <fizzie> No, I just took the elevator down. Assuming I ever left. (Cf. oerjan)
20:29:12 <int-e> or people made them for you, my memory is hazy on that point :)
20:29:18 <fizzie> The latter, I think.
20:29:46 <FireFly> ~metar COIN
20:29:50 <fizzie> I did speak to two Google people, but of quite inconsequential topics.
20:30:42 <olsner> FireFly: you'll have to wait for metasepia and/or boily
20:32:39 <fizzie> You entered "COIN"
20:32:40 <fizzie> Sorry, either there are no data available for your request or you did not enter any valid ICAO airport abbreviations
20:32:55 <FireFly> Too bad
20:33:28 <fizzie> COIN is the name of the "centre of excellence" (a funding-related construct) I worked for, or possibly still do.
20:33:57 <fizzie> It's an acronym (or at least approximately), but I forget what it stands for.
20:34:04 <fizzie> The word "inverse" was in there somewhere.
20:34:19 <olsner> centre of inverse non-excellence?
20:34:53 <fizzie> "The Finnish Centre of Excellence in Computational Inference Research (COIN) --"
20:35:04 <fizzie> COmputational INference, I guess.
20:35:10 <olsner> my guess too
20:35:23 <fizzie> Mputation and co-mputation.
20:35:32 <int-e> Hmm, Interferences Research
20:36:02 <fizzie> And I see it didn't even have "inverse" in the name.
20:36:46 -!- scoofy has joined.
20:38:31 <fizzie> Ohhh. The "Centre of Excellence in Inverse Problems" is a separate CoE, and it doesn't have an acronym. V. confusing.
20:39:28 <int-e> Cabal Of Interfering Numismatists
20:39:28 <fizzie> INPR probably sounded too silly.
20:39:54 <oerjan> they'd think it was a myers-briggs classification.
20:40:22 <fizzie> Is it a valid one? I always forget the letters.
20:40:48 <oerjan> no, there is no R and the P goes last.
20:40:59 <fizzie> One of them should be T/F, I guess.

21:14:27 <fizzie> Perhaps I did something wrong w.r.t. DNSSEC key expiration.

20:56:31 <kmc> chinese grocery stores in the US tend to have names like Super 88, 8 being a lucky number

21:00:23 -!- ^v has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
21:01:30 <olsner> is 88 a special significance?
21:02:02 <ion> Wasn't that lucky for certain people a few decades ago.
21:02:08 <myname> it is a code for HH
21:03:28 <mhi^> "If a funeral hearse drives past, you must hide your thumb in a fist. This is because the Japanese word for thumb literally translates as "parent-finger" and hiding it is considered protection for your parent. If you don't, your parent will die."
21:03:34 <mhi^> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_superstitions#Linguistic_superstition
21:04:08 <ion> I'm starting to think olsner might not be a Nazi.
21:04:12 <olsner> ah, there we go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/88_(number)#In_white_nationalism
21:04:13 <myname> that is kind of an easy way to get your parents killed
21:04:20 <myname> ion: :D
21:04:43 <olsner> HH didn't ring a bell either... 88 is a quite popular swedish ice cream stick though
21:05:24 <oerjan> hitler on a stick
21:05:39 <mhi^> :D
21:05:52 <ion> :-D
21:06:44 <fizzie> HH is short for Helly Hansen.
21:07:01 <Bike> myname: well, so's walking on a crack.
21:07:32 <Bike> "The letter H is eighth in the English alphabet, whereby 88 becomes HH" i'm sorry but this is far too dumb to take seriously
21:07:46 <Bike> even for white nationalists, who are already pretty fuckin dumb
21:08:01 <int-e> Well, Nazis aren't known for their shining brightness.
21:08:14 <mhi^> Bike: You think so? 18 for Adolf Hitler is quite popular among them, too.
21:08:30 <olsner> why do you know all this? is everyone a secret nazi?
21:08:41 <Bike> it's just too silly. t hey might as well be wearing white cloaks and pointy ahts

21:09:07 <mhi^> olsner: Either that or German. ;p

21:09:25 <myname> i am the later
21:09:42 <myname> don't know about the others here, though
21:10:06 <Bike> given the anti-nazi laws in germany i'm going to assume everyone is arrested when they turn 88 years old
21:10:41 <olsner> apparently sweden won some chef's competition with: truffel-stewed pig's foot with blood crust
21:11:19 <olsner> you'd think edibility would be included in the scoring somewhere

15:34:50 <mroman_> nortti: Issuing standards
15:35:25 <mroman_> for esolang related stuff
15:36:04 <Taneb> mroman_, can we create a "normalized brainfuck" standard?
15:36:40 <nortti> mroman_: what sort of standards?
15:39:49 <mroman_> Taneb, nortti: Some standardized brainfuck
15:39:50 <mroman_> like uhm
15:39:53 <mroman_> standardizing EOF
15:39:55 <mroman_> and that kinda thing
15:40:04 <mroman_> (EOF for Brainfuck)
15:40:12 <mroman_> stuff like that
15:40:29 <mroman_> and wrap-around for cells, tape etc.
15:40:29 <fizzie> That does not sound like a real standards body. You need a lot more bureaucracy. Working groups and so on.
15:40:53 <mroman_> well
15:40:59 <mroman_> you guys are working groups, right?
15:41:00 <mroman_> ;)
15:41:05 <Taneb> mroman_, I'd say normalized brainfuck for ease of interpretation
15:41:10 <Taneb> ie, no comments/whitespace
15:41:15 <nortti> 8bit cells, wrap-around, eof-is-0?
15:41:16 <mroman_> ah.
15:41:31 <mroman_> You mean like uhm.
15:41:32 <Taneb> Maybe we can make a number of brainfuck standards!
15:42:07 <mroman_> ESOSC 2014-2 requires for a normalized bf programm to only contain chars [.,+-><]?
15:42:20 <mroman_> and everything else isn't ESOSC conform
15:42:24 <mroman_> or whatever
15:42:47 <Taneb> Doesn't conform to ESOSC 2014-2 "Normalized brainfuck (nbf)"
15:43:00 <mroman_> alright
15:43:08 <Taneb> Perhaps we also need to define the semantics of the language
15:43:14 <mroman_> It's a draft :D
15:44:02 <nortti> also, what happens to newlines in envs where newline is not 0x10
15:44:03 <mroman_> all that's left to do is finding someone who can draw a fancy logo 
15:44:22 <mroman_> and we're good
15:46:15 -!- Bike has quit (Quit: leaving).
15:47:55 <nortti> mroman_: you can count me in
15:48:09 <b_jonas> mroman_: that's only first normal form of bf
15:49:07 <b_jonas> mroman_: second normal form bf programs further don't have the sequence ][ nor >< nor +- nor -+
15:49:25 <nortti> why no ][ ?
15:49:34 <nortti> oh, I see
15:49:42 <b_jonas> nortti: the second loop never runs. it's used as a form of comment.
15:49:50 <nortti> I was thinking "that is not a null"
15:50:12 <nortti> then I realized the second loops never runs since first one ends with a 0
15:50:24 <mroman_> wouldn't that be third?
15:50:35 <mroman_> second should be like no unmatched brackets and stuff?
15:50:51 <b_jonas> what? you need no unmatched brackets in any valid bf program
15:50:52 <Taneb> mroman_, that can be done with a simple CFG
15:51:53 <mroman_> Or a simple sentence
15:52:00 <mroman_> ;)
15:53:51 <mroman_> so
15:54:15 <Taneb> S -> AS|λ
15:54:27 <Taneb> A -> +|-|<|>|,|.|[S]
15:55:13 <mroman_> Looks about right.
16:07:30 <mroman_> What kind of "states" do we need?
16:07:33 <mroman_> Draft, Approved?
16:07:35 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined.
16:07:41 <mroman_> Is there a "Revoked"?
16:08:09 <nortti> Draft, Approved, Forgotten?
16:11:29 -!- password2 has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds).
16:12:31 <mroman_> Forgotten?
16:12:36 <mroman_> You mean
16:12:42 <mroman_> obsolete?
16:13:37 <nortti> err, yeah. my brains do not work today
16:14:23 <mroman_> k
16:14:58 <mroman_> that's the BNF of standard's identification string/number :)
16:15:42 <int-e> I like "forgotten"
16:17:02 <nortti> for drafts that are abandoned since everyone losy focus?
16:17:26 <nortti> *lost
16:18:31 <int-e> It's the status of most standards once they've gone through the test of time
16:20:52 <int-e> But I do like the notion of tracking it formally. :)
16:21:19 <nortti> what criteria would be used to determine if a standard is forgotten?
16:21:34 -!- edwardk has joined.
16:22:42 <int-e> obviously it's forgotten when nobody remembers it.
16:23:02 <nortti> then no-one would remember to change its status
16:23:41 -!- password2 has joined.
16:24:28 <int-e> so you need some outside historian assign the status for you

17:48:52 <Taneb> "anylonger" should be two words
17:49:08 <Taneb> And we specify the format but not its meaning
17:50:04 <mroman_> oh. yeah
17:50:18 <Phantom_Hoover> nortti, well, fair play to them it's downvoted into the negatives and all the replies are critical
17:50:25 <Phantom_Hoover> it was just too hilarious to pass up on
17:50:40 <mroman_> year of issue and an ever increasing number
17:51:06 <nortti> mroman_: also, it could be good to note that only apprived versions are ever obsoleted
17:51:43 <nortti> *approved
17:51:51 <Taneb> nortti, why?
17:52:01 <mroman_> how do I put this...
17:52:20 <mroman_> consists of a number that is successively increased with every new standard?
17:52:55 <nortti> Taneb: to prevent confusion when there are non-obsolete versions that contain the same info as obsolete ones? admitedly, the labelling of them as drafts should tick them off
17:53:12 <mroman_> hm
17:53:19 <mroman_> Drafts can be "Rejected" I guess?
17:53:29 <mroman_> or at "On Hold"
17:53:31 <mroman_> but... meh
17:54:03 <Phantom_Hoover> nortti, more representative sample: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/251314/its_the_perfect_time_to_buy_bitcoins/
17:54:09 <nortti> yeah, probably best to leave that corner-case out and do as we see best once the situation actually happens
17:56:05 <mroman_> oh. And I wrote "avouded"
17:56:13 <mroman_> " Further the EUIN
17:56:15 <mroman_> encodes the year of issue and a number that is successively increased with every new standard to ensure uniqueness. "
17:56:27 <mroman_> Does that sound good?
17:56:58 <nortti> yes
17:58:17 <Taneb> What would happen if something has a revision in December then another in January?
17:58:32 <mroman_> I guess "first issue"?
17:58:41 <mroman_> year of first issue
17:58:53 <mroman_> That'd make the most sense I think
17:59:37 <mroman_> or the year the work on the draft began
18:00:02 <nortti> and the same EUIN (except for changed status and no revision in end) is kept when it is aproved
18:01:23 <mroman_> I'd say so

18:23:19 <mroman_> I think the ESOSC can correct grammar/typos without a new revision :)

18:23:38 <mroman_> I should mention that

20:10:18 <mroman_> that looks wrong :D
20:10:43 <RedSquirrel> oerjan: for what reason do you use IE master oerjan? 
20:10:56 <RedSquirrel> just to check it out?
20:12:11 <RedSquirrel> no.. you love writing bug-reports @ MS .. right?
20:12:14 <kmc> somebody should do Coccinelle for Rust
20:12:17 <kmc> that would be awesome
20:13:37 <oerjan> RedSquirrel: laziness and habit
20:13:42 <RedSquirrel> coccinelle? sounds dirty
20:14:19 <oerjan> also, the one time i tried to install chrome one of my favorite websites stopped working properly.
20:14:38 <mroman_> We're still missing a fancy logo though
20:15:09 <oerjan> and i don't bother with bug reports.
20:15:21 <RedSquirrel> hmm
20:15:28 <RedSquirrel> i see.
20:16:19 <oerjan> also, there needs to be someone who uses IE just to keep you guessing.
20:16:34 <RedSquirrel> you are not the conventional nerd
20:16:35 <kmc> i hear IE is pretty good these days

20:32:13 <mroman_> unless there already is such a thing

20:36:15 <nortti> how would one construct a brainfuck integral?
20:37:32 <kmc> not my problem
20:38:11 <FireFly> Didn't someone invent a brainfuck derivative that replaces the tape's cells with a real line?
20:38:40 <FireFly> I imagine the loop condition would involve integrals in that case, maybe that counts
20:39:17 <shachaf> kmc: what do you think of memoization of continuous functions
20:39:22 <kmc> Rust now supports inline brainfuck: https://github.com/huonw/brainfuck_macro

20:39:45 <shachaf> it sounds p. interesting imo

20:40:13 <kmc> okay
20:43:02 <shachaf> and also making it happen automatically with laziness when you use a particular sort of continuity??

22:29:12 <kmc> shachaf: Rust's RefCell is kind of an interesting beast
22:29:17 <kmc> I'm not sure if it's mis-named or not
22:29:27 <kmc> it's not necessarily heap allocated
22:31:12 <kmc> its purpose is basically that you can do &RefCell<T> -> &mut T
22:31:36 <kmc> and this moves the enforcement of mutable pointer aliasing rules to runtime
22:32:11 <kmc> so a RefCell<T> is a T (annotated so that LLVM won't assume it's immutable) alongside a word for this dynamic borrow flag
22:40:59 <kmc> I found some ways to break said aliasing rules in servo

00:21:22 <zzo38> I am typing in session 51 of Dungeons&Dragons game, for now.
00:22:46 <Taneb> In the D&D game I am playing the entire party of 5 people is completely split
00:23:04 <zzo38> That is certainly possible, and sometimes very useful.
00:23:04 <Taneb> Two of us, including my character, have been arrested
00:23:11 <zzo38> For what?
00:23:32 <Taneb> Possession of some sort of superweapon
00:23:52 <Taneb> And antagonizing an empire
00:24:37 <zzo38> My character once did get arrested...on purpose.
00:26:03 <Taneb> This was very much not on purpose
00:26:21 <zzo38> (I knew I would be let out in time, and there were other reasons and things too, including the phase of the moon.)
00:26:33 <Taneb> It was quite surprising that 3 of the party managed to get away
00:26:41 <zzo38> When playing at D&D, you have to take advantage of the phase of the moon.
00:27:03 <Taneb> One by pretending to be blind and so harmless (his character is actually blind but it isn't a hindrance)
00:27:28 <Taneb> One by using a carpet as a moving wall to shelter himself from arrows
00:28:07 <Taneb> And one by teleporting through a very small hole in the ceiling onto the roof
00:31:03 <Taneb> zzo38, any advice for getting out of jail in D&D?
00:31:07 <zzo38> I have once managed to escape by replacing a door with its mirror image, stealing a wizard's wand, secretly giving it back to him, and stuff...
00:31:21 <zzo38> Taneb: I cannot say, since it depends a lot on the exact circumstances.
00:31:46 <Taneb> I'll have to figure it out myself
00:32:12 <Taneb> I don't think the rest of the party will rescue me (it would be out of character for them)
00:32:15 <zzo38> You may just have to wait; even if you can do other things, sometimes that is the best way anyways.
00:33:07 <Taneb> I've got the impression that if I wait I will eventually be executed or at least skinned alive
00:33:17 <Taneb> Neither of which are ideal
00:33:22 <zzo38> Then don't wait too much!
00:33:35 <Taneb> I think my best bet will be to talk my way out
00:33:37 <zzo38> Do you have the way to write letters?
00:33:46 <zzo38> The pen is mightier than a sword, so use a pen!
00:33:57 <Taneb> :D
00:34:03 <Taneb> That may be the best option
00:34:10 <Taneb> My character does have quite high charisma
00:34:32 <zzo38> (That's what I did; not to get out of jail though, but to convince someone to do something while I was in jail.)
00:36:56 <zzo38> High charisma is not enough. You also need a paper to write on!
00:37:27 <Taneb> Yeah, that may be an issue
00:37:39 <Taneb> I will also need some form of writing implement
00:38:26 <zzo38> At one point, I wanted to tell something to someone in a house which I did not want to go near, and I had no pen or paper, but I did have a book, so I searched the book for a phrase similar enough to what I wanted to say, tore it out, tied it to a rock, and threw it through the window.
00:38:52 <zzo38> Of course, if nothing else works, try using magic if you have any.

00:43:08 <nooodl> cute
00:44:38 <zzo38> nooodl: Is that like "ORDER BY RANDOM()" in a SQL program?
00:45:13 <nooodl> it might be! depending on the sort ORDER BY performs
00:45:27 <nooodl> i don't think this is a veeery good shuffle though
00:47:50 <zzo38> I think ORDER BY will perform the same sort as if the value specified is an extra column of the table, then sort by that fake extra column.

01:59:40 <Sgeo> What's PreOrd?
02:00:44 <kmc> are partial orders the same thing as transitive DAGs?
02:01:12 <zzo38> Partial orders are same thing as a thin category.
02:01:57 <Bike> Sgeo: a preorder.
02:03:42 <zzo38> Is there a thing such as logic without free variables?
02:03:55 <zzo38> I believe I can figure out how to do it.

02:11:36 * Sgeo wonders how PetitParser compares to Parsec
02:12:03 <Sgeo> I vaguely recall something saying that PetitParser includes parser combinators, but also has something that avoids some pitfall?
02:12:22 <Sgeo> "Instead it uses a unique combination of four alternative parser methodologies: scannerless parsers, parser combinators, parsing expression grammars and packrat parsers."
02:13:26 <zzo38> I know about recursive descent parsers

02:27:32 <Bike> isn't that the norm
02:27:46 <zzo38> The Wikipedia article about sequent calculus mentions the restrictions on the use of free and quantified variables; this can be avoided by not having any free variables.
02:29:39 <zzo38> The "forall R" and "exist L" rules would be changed, by instead of a free variable "y" made up above the line, it would make up a unique "free atom", which is one not allow to use anywhere else; each usage of the rule makes up a new one and it isn't an atom mentioned elsewhere in the sequent above the line.

03:51:59 <zzo38> That is not the point of URLs and if you do not want URL of each file, don't use a webpage at all and just make a telnet or whatever.

04:00:26 <Sgeo> pikhq: it's an anonymous frontend to a login-required bug tracker
04:04:58 <zzo38> Sgeo: What is the point of that?
04:05:20 <Sgeo> Of the horrible URLs, or of the site?
04:05:28 <Sgeo> It's good to not need to login to view bugs
04:05:29 <zzo38> Of an anonymous frontend to a login-required bug tracker.
04:05:52 <zzo38> In the way that that one is done.
04:07:04 <Sgeo> Pretty sure the use case is independent from the poor implementation choice
04:07:06 <Sgeo> I blame Seaside
04:07:51 <Sgeo> I think continuations have their uses in web development, but... not for this. Maybe during checking something out from an ecommerce site, or a password reset flow (although with the latter, need to be sure some idiot doesn't send the URL to a friend)
04:07:57 <Sgeo> (well, with both)
04:08:24 <zzo38> I think such thing is just all wrong.
04:09:54 <Sgeo> I assume this is not as terrible even though it's similar in development style
04:09:55 <Sgeo> http://www.impredicative.com/ur/demo/counter.html
04:09:59 <Sgeo> The URLs are much cleaner somehow
04:10:04 <Sgeo> But also easy to tamper with
04:10:08 <zzo38> Don't use webpages if you don't want their kind of state transactions; use them for non-interactive sessions instead. Interactive stuff can be including IRC, telnet, SSH, etc (and even block-oriented terminals, if necessary)
04:10:37 <Sgeo> http://www.impredicative.com/ur/demo/Demo/Counter/main
04:11:12 <zzo38> You can use an entirely stateless stuff if you need to, as well, which saves a lot of problem, too.
04:11:24 <zzo38> You don't need any cookie either, then.
04:11:31 <Sgeo> zzo38: sadly, users expect websites
04:11:49 <zzo38> You can make websites with stateless stuff too though
04:12:34 <Sgeo> Resetting a password seems tricky to do without some sort of state, unless you like messing with encryption
04:13:03 <Sgeo> hmm, bad example, I'm only really familiar with one example of a reset password flow
04:13:09 <zzo38> As far as I could see password reset usually used email though?
04:13:37 <Sgeo> zzo38: a reset password flow where first you answer questions or whatever before being allowed to send the email
04:13:42 <Sgeo> hypothetically
04:14:08 <zzo38> Sgeo: That isn't a problem either; you have HTML forms for that!
04:14:38 <Sgeo> How about logging into a website?
04:14:55 <zzo38> There is HTTP authentication.

04:15:06 -!- Frooxius has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
04:15:33 <zzo38> (Of course it isn't as secure as SSH, even if HTTPS is used)
04:21:46 <zzo38> And when you don't require these kind of things, you need no HTML, HTTP, SSH, SMTP, or whatever else; the gopher protocol is really simple and all stateless; there is no cookie or anything like that. Also, you don't have to make a separate "mobile version", or make other considerations about the user interface and so on;
04:22:18 <Bike> ide/theory: avoid having state by avoiding passwords by avoiding having information to secure
04:22:45 <zzo38> it works just as well with a keyboard, mouse, touch-screen, various sizes, hardcopy terminal, fax, punched cards, postal mail, or whatever else; without having to change anything.
04:23:00 <shachaf> wouldn't gopher be slower with postal mail
04:23:40 <zzo38> shachaf: Yes it would certainly be slower with postal mail, but that isn't the point at all.
04:24:11 <zzo38> Bike: Yes, in cases where you don't need a password, where you can do without a password and that stuff, it can.
04:25:00 <Bike> addendum: never need a password
04:26:39 <zzo38> When you do need a secure system, there are several ways. For example, require login over SSH. Or, you can encrypt the files and download it, and whoever has the password can use a decryption software to access it.
04:26:55 <Bike> whoa whoa whoa, didn't i just explain. don't need a secure system
04:27:23 <zzo38> If you don't need a secure system, then that is easy: ignore all of that stuff, and make more simplicity.
04:27:46 -!- augur has joined.
04:31:11 <Bike> also fun security fact, my job's secure login works over https, but also has an http address. it asks for credentials and takes them but then presents nothing if you use it
04:31:14 <Bike> v. secure
04:32:52 <kmc> it's really negligent to run a plaintext HTTP server that serves anything other than a redirect with an HSTS header
04:32:55 <kmc> to HTTPS
04:33:15 <Bike> i assume letting me enter my password over http is also bad
04:33:31 <kmc> yes
04:33:50 <Bike> thankfully, i'm the type of person who'd give up their password for a chocolate bar, so there's no net lowering of security in my using this system
04:34:17 <kmc> if you serve any part of your domain at all over plain HTTP -- even the boringest static terms of service page -- then an active attacker has arbitrary code execution for that whole subdomain and can substantially mess with the entire domain
04:34:33 <Bike> i'd ask them to fix it, but it took like three days with IT to get on in the first place so i'm not gonna bother
04:34:35 <kmc> a lot of web developers don't know this
04:34:44 <Bike> arbitrary, huh.
04:34:55 <kmc> yep, they can inject arbitrary javascript
04:35:17 <kmc> which has permission to read cookies for that domain, mess with same-origin windows, make same-origin requests etc
04:35:23 <zzo38> That is also a problem with HTTP and HTML in general. Even if you do use entirely HTTPS!
04:35:29 <Sgeo> kmc: can't read every cookie
04:35:34 <kmc> that's right Sgeo
04:35:40 <zzo38> Use SSH for secure login interactive sessions, and work much better.
04:35:45 <kmc> HttpOnly cookies are a weak protection though
04:35:56 <kmc> you can still make requests that will include that cookie
04:36:09 <shachaf> i imagine Sgeo meant Secure cookies
04:36:10 <kmc> it doesn't really matter because if you can inject JS then you can also sniff the cookie off the wire
04:36:18 <Bike> nice, the instructions have how to do it on XP
04:36:37 <Bike> "Because we use a newer file storage system at the College of Veterinary Medicine, older Mac operating systems cannot access Vetmed files. You will need Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or software that allows for Mac-Windows interoperability, such as Thursby Software's Dave"
04:36:39 <kmc> in some cases you can overflow the cookie jar and replace the cookie with a non-Secure cookie on a broader domain
04:36:54 <Sgeo> kmc: as shachaf notes, can't read Secure HttpOnly cookies over the wire... but yeah, arbitrary requests to the real site
04:37:15 <shachaf> anyway, even just not serving anything over http isn't sufficient without something like hsts
04:37:34 <kmc> right
04:38:42 <kmc> unfortunately, as you probably already know, computer security
04:38:46 <zzo38> You can still serve plain files over HTTP, and forms and stuff which are simple enough, but there are generally better ways in any case already.
04:38:57 <Bike> like gopher
04:39:38 <shachaf> computer SCOWrity
04:39:42 <Bike> gophers
04:40:21 <zzo38> Remember that there are other protocols, and HTTP can be used to fall-back-on, perhaps.
04:40:38 <zzo38> (There are also better ways of using HTTP than all those terrible ways, too, though.)
04:42:06 <shachaf> the trouble with fallbacks and security is that they have to be as secure as the not fallbackthings
04:42:24 <zzo38> Post a warning message.

04:43:33 <zzo38> Write a warning message on the webpage that says that it is "deprecated" and insecure, and that you are offered to better alternatives if possible.
04:44:01 <shachaf> that only helps if the user sees the web page

09:32:40 <mroman_> no, since I've optimized stuff like hell
09:33:00 <mroman_> all those conclusions are somewhat useless now
09:33:16 <mroman_> because I've got something better now that scales differently

09:41:12 <oerjan> he also made several rules.  someone should clean up the wikipedia redirections.
09:44:42 <oerjan> basically, the law that equal stuff has all properties in common.
09:45:07 <oerjan> which you can also formulate as the formal logical scheme a = b => (P a <=> P b)
09:48:11 <mroman_> I'm always confused with lemma, theorem and laws
09:48:33 <mroman_> Do you say "law" when it's really a "definition/axiom"?
09:49:59 <oerjan> looking at the philosophical mess "Leibniz's law" redirects to on wikipedia, i think the point is that leibniz wasn't really thinking about formal logic.
09:50:09 <oerjan> (not looking too closely, mind you)
09:50:37 <oerjan> although the formal scheme gets to be called the same thing by analogy.
09:51:03 <oerjan> and could in principle be used as the definition of equality.
09:52:16 <oerjan> some theorem proving systems might, but i vaguely recall some don't for technical reasons (impredicative types possibly)
09:52:17 <mroman_> That'd be the best definition of equality I know.
09:52:28 <mroman_> and probably the only one :)
09:53:36 <mroman_> but I don't know any definitions for a < b that'd hold
09:53:55 <mroman_> n < (n+1) isn't really a good definition at all
09:54:18 <oerjan> well = is a general logical principle but < refers to a particular order on a set
09:54:49 <oerjan> for reals you can use a <= b iff b-a is a square.

10:03:58 <oerjan> i recall that logicians / complexity theorists have investigated how much extra power you get from allowing transitive closure on an otherwise very weak logic
10:04:46 <Taneb> Good morning
10:04:51 <oerjan> (i say / complexity theorists because it turns out that the smallest complexity classes have a strong correspondence with logic)

10:06:35 <oerjan> good morning Taneb 
10:11:14 <Taneb> mroman_, could we add a justification of the decisions made for second normal form to ESOSC 2014 D2?
10:16:35 <mroman_> Sure.
10:16:57 <mroman_> oerjan: I'm doing crowd simulation as my bachelor thesis
10:17:16 <mroman_> or "distribute it to multiple machines" to be more specific.
10:17:19 <mroman_> and well
10:17:31 <mroman_> It simulates 200k people in 11x realtime
10:17:40 <mroman_> I'm pretty sure somebody out there can do it in 0.1x realtime
10:19:05 <mroman_> (11x on a single machine)
10:21:29 <mroman_> Taneb: It's because they are "nops"?
10:21:35 <mroman_> and ][ is abused for comments
10:21:49 <mroman_> or what kind of justification did you have in mind?
10:21:52 <Taneb> That
10:22:34 <mroman_> although [...][foo] isn't first normal form
10:22:45 <mroman_> You only could have comments using brainfuck commands that way ;)
10:24:11 <oerjan> making comments in a language where no character can be included if it can be proved never to be executed sounds awkward.
10:24:49 <mroman_> Taneb: +- isn't a nop if cells don't wrap-around
10:25:06 <mroman_> i.e 255+ => 255- => 254
10:25:17 <Taneb> And <> isn't a nop if cells are bounded on the left
10:25:22 <mroman_> true
10:26:21 <mroman_> so snf kinda assumes wrap-around
10:32:29 <Taneb> Is second normal form necessary? It's more like a linter than anything else
10:32:52 <mroman_> I don't see any benifit of having it
10:32:56 <mroman_> but someone suggested it
10:35:07 <mroman_> *benefit

10:46:22 <mroman_> but then it wouldn't make sence to have a "first" normal form

11:07:33 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds).
11:08:10 <Taneb> mroman_, "Brainfuck" in both times in paragraph two should have a small b
11:08:39 <Taneb> In fact, whenever it's not at the start of a sentence or a heading (or possibly in "Normalized Brainfuck"?)
11:09:00 <mroman_> I thought names are writting with a starting capital letter
11:09:03 <Taneb> And instead of "interpreters (or compilers)", why not "implementations"
11:09:09 <Taneb> Brainfuck is weird
11:09:22 <Taneb> Look at its readme, for example
11:09:32 <mroman_> yeah
11:09:35 <mroman_> small letter
11:11:08 <mroman_> *written
11:11:39 <mroman_> to ease interpretation of brainfuck programs
11:11:45 <mroman_> that's gotta change too
11:11:54 <mroman_> I think
11:12:00 <mroman_> since compilers usually don't interpret them :)
11:12:24 <mroman_> well
11:12:49 <mroman_> to ease reading/handling/parsing?
11:13:05 <Taneb> implementation?
11:13:33 <mroman_> to ease implementation of brainfuck programs?
11:13:47 <Taneb> Hmm, no
11:13:56 <Taneb> parsing would be best
11:13:59 <mroman_> to ease writing brainfuck implementations?
11:14:04 <Taneb> Or thatr
11:14:05 <mroman_> or developing
11:14:11 <Taneb> I've got to go now

11:43:52 <oerjan> <kmc> if you serve any part of your domain at all over plain HTTP -- even the boringest static terms of service page -- then an active attacker has arbitrary code execution for that whole subdomain and can substantially mess with the entire domain
11:45:40 -!- drdanmaku has joined.
11:46:15 <oerjan> technically you don't need to serve anything as http do you? the attacker just needs to fool someone into _trying_ to load http from your domain?
11:46:57 <oerjan> which admittedly is probably somewhat easier if you have actual http pages.

12:02:27 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
12:04:56 <nortti> does that mean that its use time is not 2h, or that is was only used before 2h had passed from registration?

15:00:38 <mroman_> ah
15:00:55 <mroman_> PSOX from Sgeo
15:02:27 <fizzie> A guy from the IEEE Signal Processing Society Audio and Acoustic Signal Processing Technical Committee Challenges Subcommittee just said a few words.
15:03:12 <fizzie> (I'm at a workshop.)
15:05:36 <FireFly> That's what I'm saying, ESOSC needs more {,sub}committees
15:06:02 <FireFly> fizzie: did he present himself using that title?
15:06:18 <fizzie> (?:sub)*committee.
15:06:26 <fizzie> Almost.
15:06:46 <fizzie> (He wanted ideas.)
15:06:58 <mroman_> If you have an idea for a subcommittee and if you want to work in it just say so ;)
15:07:11 <mroman_> I'm btw. not really fond of APIs through stdin/stdout
15:07:31 <mroman_> except for that they are portable across languages and don't require any change in them
15:07:39 <mroman_> it looks kinda inconvenient
15:08:08 <mroman_> but PSOX looks kinda feature-rich
15:09:20 <FireFly> Hm
15:09:36 <FireFly> Wouldn't it be Esoteric Standard*s* Committee?
15:10:06 <int-e> FireFly: It's a good idea to start out small.
15:10:27 <FireFly> I guess you could call it the standard standards committee
15:11:20 <fizzie> Also weird: conference proceedings on an USB stick that pretends to be both a USB mass storage device and an external CD ROM drive.
15:11:45 <int-e> huh
15:11:48 <fizzie> I think the latter was read-only.
15:12:04 <int-e> that's fine but not very original
15:12:12 <int-e> iow, boring.
15:12:14 <FireFly> I can't think of any reason for the latter..
15:13:14 <int-e> FireFly: recall the floppy disks that had a notch that could be covered to make them read-only?
15:13:18 <fizzie> The "CD" had all the data and the stick was empty.
15:13:46 <FireFly> "the latter" as in pretending to be an external CD-ROM drive
15:14:06 <int-e> So that would be a sensible use for such a setup to me, hardware level write protection.
15:14:12 <fizzie> Maybe it autoruns better.

18:09:35 <mroman_> It's hard to balance simplicity, compilability and mightibility
18:09:46 <mroman_> wordmakeupability
18:09:55 <Bike> i recommend bonghits
18:10:14 <mroman_> I'm trying to boostrap a self-hosting compiler
18:10:26 <mroman_> (with a language I'll invent)
18:10:48 <scoofy> the simpler the language, the easier to compile
18:10:53 <mroman_> exactly
18:10:55 <scoofy> the simpler the language, the harder to make a compiler
18:10:58 <mroman_> my last try even had a typesystem
18:11:05 <mroman_> no.
18:11:13 <mroman_> simpler language, simpler compiler *my opinion*
18:11:20 <mroman_> brainfuck's easy to compile
18:11:24 <scoofy> i mean...
18:11:26 <mroman_> but writing a brainfuck compiler in brainfuck
18:11:29 <mroman_> that's gonna be harder
18:11:30 <scoofy> the simpler the language, the harder to write a compiler in
18:11:36 <scoofy> that's what I meant
18:11:40 <kmc> write a brainfuck to brainfuck compiler in brainfuck
18:11:46 <mroman_> or a
18:11:50 <mroman_> compiler compiler
18:11:53 <mroman_> that produces brainfuck code
18:12:18 <tromp_> writing a blc interpreter in blc is straightforward though
18:12:32 <tromp_> because blc is much more expressive than brainfuck
18:12:48 <scoofy> that is, binary lambda calculus?
18:12:51 <tromp_> yes
18:13:03 <kmc> best lambda calculus
18:13:09 <Bike> bonghit lambda calculus
18:13:37 <tromp_> of course it can't be too hard given that it takes under 26 bytes
18:14:02 <scoofy> tromp_, i've seen your web page about it, looks very interesting. except i barely understand anything :/
18:14:25 <scoofy> i'd first need to learn and understand well lambda calculus
18:14:38 <tromp_> the wikipedia article should make a  good introduction
18:14:47 <tromp_> then you can dive into my paper
18:15:29 <scoofy> i skimmed through it, what I like the most about it is the images. i find it fascinating to represent programs as graphs

18:21:27 <kmc> are these always unambiguous?
18:21:34 <tromp_> yes
18:21:49 <kmc> kewl
18:22:01 <tromp_> the haskell  programs on my blc page create these images
18:22:07 <tromp_> in various formats
18:22:22 <tromp_> eg. png, ascii, ascii graphics...
18:22:38 <kmc> do you have an interpreter which takes an image as input
18:22:45 <tromp_> nope:(
18:23:13 <tromp_> the image is quadratic in the size of the term
18:23:29 <scoofy> i remember something about blc used in studying program complexity. is blc the most compact representation of an algorith?
18:23:54 <tromp_> that's impossible to formalize, scoofy
18:24:27 <tromp_> it certainly hits a sweet spot in simlicity and expressiveness
18:24:36 * Taneb --> Eurovision party
18:24:46 <scoofy> but your blc interpreter is the smallest turing-compatible self-impreter, iirc
18:24:53 <tromp_> and i haven't seen any competitive alternative
18:24:55 -!- tromp has quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds).
18:25:21 <tromp_> it's the smallest "honest" one
18:25:36 <tromp_> but again that's hard to formalize
18:25:54 <scoofy> i wonder about its performance. is the blc interpreter fast enough to make it sensible to run complex programs in it?
18:25:59 <tromp_> many languages have primitives that vastly simply self interpretation
18:26:03 <tromp_> simplify
18:27:12 <tromp_> the interpreter introduces little overhead
18:27:29 <scoofy> nice
18:27:36 <tromp_> so it could be very fast depending on the underlying reduction engine
18:27:55 <scoofy> so, in theory, it could be used for program compression?
18:28:16 <scoofy> creating very small programs is an interesting field
18:28:19 <tromp_> what programs do you have in mind?
18:28:37 <tromp_> it's hard because blc has no data primitives
18:28:47 <tromp_> no numbers, no nothing
18:28:56 <tromp_> just function application
18:29:31 <tromp_> also (optimal) compression is uncomputale
18:30:17 <scoofy> so... how would one start writing a blc program?
18:30:23 <tromp_> creating small blc programs (like the 1267 bit prime sieve) is a huge challenge
18:30:40 <tromp_> i mean 167 bit
18:30:41 <Bike> presumably you can represent data same way as you do in good ol lambda calculus.
18:31:48 <tromp_> http://www.ioccc.org/2012/tromp/hint.html for some interesting sample programs
18:32:00 <scoofy> to me, writing blc looks like writing unlambda
18:32:18 <tromp_> the 8-bit self-interpreter represents bytes as length-8 lists of booleans
18:32:40 <tromp_> which is also used in the brainfuck interpreter
18:33:47 <tromp_> indeed blc is pure lambda calculus
18:33:56 <tromp_> with some binary IO conventions
18:36:05 <mroman_> http://codepad.org/XdQlMQwP <- so far I've come up with something like this now
18:36:44 <nortti> is the list stored as (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8) or (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 . 8) ?
18:37:30 <nortti> (assuming it uses  \xyf.fxy to construct the list)
18:38:06 <tromp_> as b7:b6:b5:b4:b3:b2:b1:b0:nil
18:38:07 -!- shikhout has joined.
18:38:38 <tromp_> where : is infix  \xyf.fxy 
18:39:25 <Bike> why the b's
18:39:49 <nortti> is nil False or the other possible nil?
18:39:54 <tromp_> bi is the i'th bit
18:40:13 <tromp_> yes, bil = false = \xy.y
18:40:25 <tromp_> i mean nil
18:40:38 <nortti> and b7 is the MSB?
18:40:43 <tromp_> b7 is the most significant bit yes

18:44:28 <scoofy> didn't read that warning :/
18:44:41 <scoofy> well, it printed about 10 lines of results fine
18:45:10 <tromp_> the c-program can do over a thousand bits

18:45:33 <scoofy> how did it bring a linux to knees?
18:45:34 <tromp_> it starts eating up your swap space:)
18:45:39 <scoofy> ah...
18:45:46 <tromp_> by allocating memory at insane rate
18:45:49 <scoofy> so it eats up all memory, i guess...
18:45:56 <Bike> that doesn't seem terribly efficient
18:46:14 <nortti> unary arithmetic is usually not
18:46:25 <tromp_> that's the price to pay for the shortest prime sieve program
18:46:35 <zzo38> I had a idea about another kind of modal logic operator, which is a "loop modality", which is always a theorem regardless what it is applied to.
18:46:38 <tromp_> it doesnt use any arithmetic
18:46:48 <zzo38> Maybe someone does something similar?

18:58:20 <kmc> wouldn't BLC be more compact if the de bruijn indices weren't unary?
18:58:37 <nortti> yes, but also harder to encode
18:59:34 <kmc> how so?
18:59:41 <kmc> harder to write a universal machine?
19:00:24 -!- shikhout has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds).
19:06:04 <Jafet> Not using unary has overhead, too
19:07:23 -!- shikhin has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds).
19:08:38 <Jafet> How about using unary, but with a bias, so the numbering starts below zero
19:08:58 <Jafet> This makes it easier to refer to variables at some fixed distance to the current scope
19:09:02 <nortti> how would one even do that?
19:10:37 <nortti> I mean, how do you represent a negative num in unary without sign symbol, in which case it is better to just use binary
19:14:47 <tromp_> unary indices are close to optimal

19:20:01 <tromp_> i sometimes start from 0, sometimes from 1
19:20:39 <tromp_> on that page i start with 1, so yes i need 3 then

19:31:49 <scoofy> hm, i think i'm starting to understand it. so the 3 elements are: 'lambda', 'apply', and an index
19:34:15 <int-e> 00=apply, 01=lambda, 1(1*)0=index *.
19:34:27 <int-e> mm.
19:34:39 <int-e> no, 00=lambda, 01=apply.
19:35:30 <int-e> I forgot about the \io trick, so the first thing in the primes program is actually a lambda.
19:35:40 <Bike> wait, so 1110 is index 2?
19:35:43 <tromp_> yes, the prime program on http://homepages.cwi.nl/~tromp/cl/cl.html is color coded that way
19:35:50 <Bike> oh, so you can do zero, ok
19:35:58 <scoofy> amazing that anything can be expressed in terms of that 3 things.
19:36:02 <int-e> Bike: yes, I count from zero.
19:36:06 <tromp_> lambda in red, apply in green, vars in blue
19:36:15 <scoofy> color coding is fun :)

19:47:27 <olsner> there's probably some nut out there who thinks that to get a real secure system you can't just disconnect it, you also have to patch the kernel and libc to remove the socket syscalls
19:47:56 <nortti> or someone who uses STREAMS
19:48:59 <Jafet> For every nut there are ten sysadmins who have to do the same thing because some bureaucrat said so

20:20:28 <mroman_> hm.
20:20:32 <mroman_> *new idea*
20:32:43 * Sgeo goes to read http://insanecoding.blogspot.com/2014/02/http-308-incompetence-expected.html
20:36:47 <Sgeo> I thought HTTP2 was supposed to be about the delivery, not header and status semantics
20:37:31 <Bike> electric boogaloo
20:38:19 <olsner> I also thought it was supposed to, but things wouldn't be very web if they made sense
20:44:01 <zzo38> The way to fix it, I think, would be to make the server check if HTTP2 is specified, and whether or not it is, post a "deprecated" notice mentioning all of these problems, and that you either need to fix your client or connect using an alternate protocol.
20:44:20 <Bike> like gophers
20:44:26 <olsner> Sgeo: hmm, looks like that post is not correct
20:44:55 <olsner> e.g. 301 was *specified* some different way earlier, but never actually used in that manner
20:44:58 <zzo38> The way they describe is certainly too much more stupid, so one thing you can do is, check for HTTP2 and then complain
20:45:45 <Sgeo> zzo38: olsner (and a comment on that page) is saying that the older spec didn't describe reality, and the HTTP2 change is meant to describe the current reality of what browsers actually do
20:45:49 <zzo38> Furthermore, don't use those codes if they cause problems.
20:46:39 -!- FreeFull has joined.
20:46:39 <zzo38> Sgeo: Perhaps, but they are probably both wrong. Especially if an unusual browser program is in use, or some other program such as wget is in use.

20:49:52 <Bike> we're naming standards with chem terms now?
20:49:58 <zzo38> Also, Google's servers do not even correctly implement the existing HTTP. Headerless requests will still respond with a header, and HEAD requests will sometimes return a 404 error even though a GET to the same file works.
20:51:38 <olsner> httpbis is a working group, HTTP/1.1-bis is something I made up because I don't know what they're really called
20:52:05 <Bike> well, that's still bis then.

20:57:24 * ais523_ goes on proggit and tries to correct some misconceptions about US copyright law
20:57:34 <ais523_> lots of people think that creating anything similar to someone else's API is now illegal
20:57:53 <ais523_> whereas the court decision was that you need a fair use reason to be able to copy function declarations literally
20:58:16 <ais523_> there is a huge amount of grey area in between, such as if you reimplement someone else's API but write the function declarations yourself
20:59:11 <kmc> * ais523_ goes on proggit <-- noo you have so much to live for
21:01:29 <FireFly> What would the difference be between copying function declarations literally and reimplementing an API but writing the function declarations yourself?
21:02:14 <FireFly> Choice of parameter name is the only thing I can imagine, but that seems a bit.. thin
21:02:44 <Jafet> Legality, of course.
21:03:56 <ais523_> FireFly: the first involves copying them, the latter doesn't, and copyright is about copying
21:03:57 -!- Froox has quit (Quit: *bubbles away*).
21:04:20 <ais523_> the court actually said that copyright law was hard to apply to software, they described it like trying to solve a jigsaw where the pieces don't fit together properly
21:04:37 <FireFly> Oh, okay, so it's purely about the act of copying
21:04:38 <ais523_> in the latter case, you didn't copy the API, even if you happen to independently choose the same variable names
21:04:45 <ais523_> err, didn't copy the declarations
21:04:54 <ais523_> you did copy the API, if you did it based on API docs, but that's more abstract
21:05:02 <ais523_> if you go even further, and, say, reverse-engineer the machine code
21:05:09 <ais523_> then there's even less copying involved
21:05:16 <mroman_> In switzerland reverse-enginerring is allowed
21:05:19 <ais523_> (the court explicitly said they weren't making a ruling about reverse-engineering)
21:05:25 <FireFly> So if I implement someone else's API and by chance happen to choose the same parameter names (i.e. the source code of the two declarations is identical, modulo whitespace) I should still be safe, I guess
21:05:27 <mroman_> if you do it for interopability reasons
21:05:30 <ais523_> mroman_: in the US it's historically been found to be fair use
21:05:36 <ais523_> FireFly: yes
21:05:48 <ais523_> unless they can argue that you remembered the names from seeing their API docs, or something
21:05:55 <mroman_> I.e you would be allowed to reverse engineer a proprietary format so your software can export to it
21:06:10 <ais523_> most of the precedents come from DRM on games consoles
21:06:13 <FireFly> I guess that wouldn't hold for overly general and "obvious" names
21:06:14 <mroman_> You are also allowed to "copy" someone else's software by writing the same software yourself
21:06:28 <ais523_> FireFly: actually, the judgement wasn't that it holds for any particular name, but for a large collection
21:06:37 <mroman_> (which requires that you write it yourself, stealing their code is illegal of course)
21:06:38 <FireFly> Oh, that makes sense
21:06:48 <ais523_> like, it's OK to have a Math.max, so long as much of the rest of your API is different
21:06:54 <mroman_> of course, there's a lot of gray and black area there
21:06:59 -!- Frooxius has joined.
21:07:02 <mroman_> there are design patents and stuff and shit
21:07:03 <Jafet> Looking forward to the oddly-named parameter names that are copyright traps
21:07:03 <mroman_> so...
21:07:28 <ais523_> Jafet: haha, that would actually work, I think
21:07:39 <mroman_> ironically databases aren't protected by copyright laws
21:08:15 <mroman_> unless it is really special
21:08:22 <Jafet> That depends on the jurisdiction.
21:08:36 <Jafet> (And what kind of database)
21:08:51 <mroman_> A pure collection of data isn't worthy of copyright apparentely
21:09:41 <ais523_> this reminds me of the ruling that if you digitize a public domain work precisely enough (i.e. no creativity involved), the resulting digitization is also public domain
21:09:54 <mroman_> I had a semester "IT laws"
21:09:58 <ais523_> (whereas things like performing a public domain piece of music produce a copyrightable recording, because there's creativity in the way you perform it)
21:10:08 <mroman_> and what I've learned is: Nobody really knows what exactly is legal or illegal
21:10:15 <ais523_> mroman_: yeah, that seems about right
21:10:16 <mroman_> and you won't be sure unless a judge rules over it
21:10:21 <ais523_> except when a judge has ruled about it
21:10:25 <mroman_> Yeah.
21:10:31 <mroman_> It's like schrodingers cats
21:10:43 <mroman_> You don't know if what you're doing is illegal until a judge looks at it ;)
21:10:46 <ais523_> e.g. the only precedent we have about open source licenses in the US is that if there's an attribution requirement in the license, you can't reuse the work without attribution
21:10:54 <mroman_> (i.e. open the box)
21:10:58 <ais523_> that was a case where someone violated the Artistic License on model train controllers
21:11:19 <ais523_> but if they had given attribution, who knows? they were violating the license in other ways, but courts only care about determining that the license was broken
21:11:22 <ais523_> not solving hypotheticals
21:11:47 <Jafet> Even then, you don't really know until you bring it up with the appellate court or the relevant legislative body.
21:11:49 <mroman_> yeah
21:12:14 <mroman_> hypothetical scenarios are intentionally left open for law books (that cost 100$ and more) and for law students
21:13:12 <mroman_> of course, "you never know" holds for all kinds of other laws too
21:13:31 <mroman_> There's no official department where you can call for free and ask about what you intend to do is illegal or legal
21:13:41 <mroman_> and if the guy from that department says it's legal it REALLY is LEGAL.
21:14:12 <mroman_> and lawyers aren't really allowed to say "it's legal" too ;)
21:14:46 <ais523_> or at least, they are, just daren't
21:14:51 <ais523_> because they don't really know any better than anyone else does
21:14:58 <mroman_> Probably.
21:15:08 <ais523_> I think there's a decent random factor in court decisions
21:15:28 <ais523_> given how it depends on the lawyers that the sides have, who decides to submit an amicus brief, which judge is assigned, etc.
21:15:41 <mroman_> Yeah.
21:15:58 <mroman_> but the real problem is that you can't have a judge rule in *advance*
21:16:21 <mroman_> even if his decision were a little bit random... at least you know
21:17:00 <ais523_> you can in cases where you can show there's a real risk of being sued over something
21:17:01 <mroman_> That's a general weakness of our law system I think
21:17:15 <mroman_> just by registering a domain I'm one foot in a court
21:17:34 <ais523_> basically, if someone's making legal threats and not going through with them, you can effectively sue yourself to clear your name
21:17:43 <mroman_> There's nobody who can tell me conclusively if I'm allowed to register "mroman.ch"
21:18:57 <mroman_> I can do some database trademark searches
21:19:07 <mroman_> which aren't a 100% guarantee
21:19:13 <Jafet> I don't know any place in the world where registering domain names that are claimed by others is illegal
21:19:17 <mroman_> You just gotta register it anyway and hope nobody's gonna sue you
21:19:39 <mroman_> Jafet: It is in swizterland
21:19:48 <mroman_> You can't register a domain with "coca cola" in it
21:19:54 <mroman_> well you can
21:19:54 <ais523_> the vast majority of cases, if someone else does own the trademark, they'll settle rather than sue if you offer to give them the domain
21:19:56 <mroman_> but they can sue you
21:19:57 <ais523_> although you can't rely on that
21:21:55 <mroman_> You can design a GUI
21:22:03 <mroman_> for a opensource tool you wrote as a hobby
21:22:13 <mroman_> but you'll never know if somebody patented such a design
21:22:36 <mroman_> even if you pay patent researches
21:22:44 <mroman_> they can't tell you for *really* sure
21:22:48 <mroman_> (and it costs a lot)
21:23:14 <ion> http://www.usacryptocoins.com/thecryptocurrencytimes/uncategorized/dafuq-coin-the-first-malware-coin/
21:23:19 <mroman_> (and as I imagine the US with even more crazier software patents...
21:23:34 <mroman_> I imagine it's probably illegal for any US citizen to write software)
21:23:48 <Jafet> Hmm, parking domains is actually illegal in amurica now
21:23:52 <kmc> ion: looooool
21:25:01 <ais523_> mroman_: oh, I thought that was probably illegal a while ago
21:25:05 <Jafet> mroman: fortunately most patents are fairly easy to work around.
21:25:14 <ais523_> or maybe theoretically possible, but it's like the problem of trying to write a bug-free hello world
21:25:18 <ais523_> it takes a huge amount of effort

10:44:17 <Melvar> And then there’s “constructor of Prelude.Classes.Eq” which is also an internal name you can’t reference. Several kinds of internal name are phrases, making parsing some errors a bit difficult.
10:54:13 <oerjan> that sounds like the main thing you'd want to use {}'s around
10:54:34 <oerjan> perhaps allowing them on input too?

11:30:41 <nortti> mroman_: I'm user:EzoLang
11:31:59 <mroman_> ah
11:32:00 <mroman_> ok

11:33:23 <Taneb> mroman_, nortti, what are the prospective goals for D4 and D5
11:36:33 <oerjan> d4
11:36:33 <lambdabot> oerjan: 2
11:36:35 <oerjan> d5
11:36:35 <lambdabot> oerjan: 5
11:36:50 <mroman_> After hearing about PSOX D4 might not be needed
11:36:56 <mroman_> except that PSOX uses a binary format
11:37:09 <mroman_> which might be unconfortable for some esolangs probbly?
11:37:29 <mroman_> But D4 was about EsoAPI, PEOSIX
11:37:33 <mroman_> originally
11:38:24 <mroman_> #++ is some esolang I'm working on
11:39:20 <mroman_> EsoAPI specs aren't available anymore
11:39:31 <mroman_> but Sgeo's PSOX specs are still available
11:39:37 <mroman_> and they look pretty good
11:45:56 <mroman_> The ISO also standardizes whole languages
11:46:04 <mroman_> so I thought we could do that to
11:46:23 <mroman_> which raises the questions whether Brainfuck Conventions should be more like "ESOSC Brainfuck"
11:46:50 <mroman_> Which defines what to use as EOF and stuff
11:47:00 <mroman_> and maybe standardize how to embed comments into Brainfuck
11:47:40 <mroman_> (and wrap-around)
11:48:14 <mroman_> rather than "defining" conventions

11:56:41 -!- hogeyui has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
11:56:57 <nortti> that seems like a good idea
11:59:06 <FireFly> It being a binary format is probably rather helpful in some other esolangs though
11:59:21 <FireFly> (about PSOX)
11:59:29 <nortti> should we conduct just a informat vote on channel or set up some sort of questionaire thing?
12:04:27 <mroman_> like an online survey?
12:08:23 <nortti> yeah, wasn't there a gdocs thing for that
12:08:59 <mroman_> k.
12:09:09 <mroman_> "Do you want 0 or -1 (255) as EOF?"
12:09:13 <mroman_> those kind of questions.
12:09:34 <nortti> so, EOF, wraparound, bitness?
12:09:41 <mroman_> yeah
12:09:48 <nortti> also, there's the possibility of no change on EOF
12:09:55 <mroman_> yep
12:11:36 <nortti> also, regarding 2014-D2-R3, are there any more plans to introduce other normalized forms than FNF?
12:11:59 <int-e> you could take this under consideration: http://brainfuck.sourceforge.net/rules.html
12:12:20 <Taneb> nortti, all of <>, +- etc don't apply with bounded tapes or non-wrapping values
12:12:46 <int-e> (though I thought not allowing to decrement 0 was a pity)
12:12:56 <nortti> Taneb: I do know that
12:13:39 <nortti> in the case that no other normalized forms are planned, the "First" seems redundant
12:14:27 <nortti> oh, actually. I never thought about what ',' would return after EOF had been reached, maybe have that too
12:14:47 <nortti> at least erroring out and re-returning EOF are possibilities
12:15:21 <Taneb> I'd prefer re-returning EOF
12:15:55 <nortti> I also
12:16:14 <nortti> oh and newline handling
12:16:28 <Taneb> Line feed.
12:16:38 <nortti> I agree,

12:36:12 <mroman_> nortti: yeah
12:36:14 <mroman_> me too
12:40:35 <int-e> Historically, Urban Müller's bfi.c used getchar() for ',', that points towards -1 for EOF. I wonder what the compiler did ...
12:40:57 <nortti> it used no change
12:41:01 <nortti> iirc
12:42:23 <nortti> where does the zero-on-eof come from?
12:43:41 <int-e> I don't know. I can imagine two reasons, one is convenience, and the other is a dislike for negative numbers (for example because you want to use Church numerals)
12:44:42 <nortti> well, online survey would probably be best
12:44:59 <Taneb> In the topic and on the wiki's main page?
12:45:34 <nortti> if one of you can create it, I cannot run gdocs atm
12:46:12 <mroman_> I'm creating one currently :)
12:52:47 <nooodl> ,[.,] is the most compelling argument imo
12:55:52 <nortti> no-change has the argument that is can simulate any return on eof
12:56:20 <nortti> s/,/[-],/g for 0 and s/,/[-]-,/g for -1
12:58:06 <mroman_> ,[.,] reads until zero?
12:59:05 <mroman_> cat
12:59:29 <Jafet> I'll standardize cookies
12:59:43 <nortti> compared to ,+[-.,+] (assuming wrap for sake of sanity) and [-],[.[-],]
13:03:33 <Jafet> So, how does no-change cat work
13:03:56 <nooodl> [-],[.[-],]
13:04:16 <nooodl> or i guess the first [-] doesn't matter, duh.
13:04:24 <nortti> oh, yeah
13:04:30 <nortti> since inited to 0
13:04:47 <Jafet> That stops on zero, not EOF
13:05:18 <Jafet> s/not/not just/
13:05:23 <int-e> there's always a character that can't be distinguished from EOF if you have only 8 bits (and 8 bit characters)
13:06:01 <nooodl> -,+[-.[-]-,+] i guess?
13:06:03 <int-e> you can also use  -,+[-.[-]-,+]  to simulate -1 on EOF
13:06:16 <oerjan> just be radical and do > on EOF hth
13:06:34 <nortti> D:
13:06:40 <oerjan> (the command, not the character)
13:07:07 <Jafet> Sounds good as far as standards go
13:07:30 <oerjan> 'twould have the advantage that you actually _could_ distinguish EOF from everything.
13:08:57 <nortti> also, break ~everything
13:09:00 <int-e> Ok, it does look like Urban Müller's compiler implements no change on EOF semantics.

21:11:26 <rapido_> has anyone been into http://www.availlang.org ? 
21:12:49 <rapido_> avail has a very interesting type system married with functional purity
21:13:29 <rapido_> it appears esoteric because of its *very* free syntax
21:13:45 <rapido_> but the semantics are very solid
21:13:48 -!- rapido has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
21:13:48 -!- rapido_ has changed nick to rapido.
21:15:04 <elliott> it doesn't look very pure
21:15:41 <rapido> oh? but everything is pure except for variables (of course!)
21:16:32 <rapido> the type system is pretty nifty
21:17:08 <elliott> rapido: if reader : []→string and writer : [string]→⊤ are ever going to get specified as things that do IO (as the text suggests), then it is unlikely they can have those types in a pure language.
21:17:10 <rapido> it has multmethod dispatch on precise types
21:17:33 <elliott> those variables also seem to clearly be mutable
21:17:37 <rapido> ah, the reader and write stuff
21:17:51 <rapido> yes, variables are mutable
21:18:00 <rapido> but very cleverly so
21:18:16 <elliott> sure, but it's not pure :P
21:18:33 -!- oerjan has joined.
21:18:45 <elliott> I guess "functional purity" could just mean purity of paradigm there rather than "purely functional".
21:19:10 <elliott> but I'm not quite sure "functional" exists as a meaningful paradigm in itself if you don't at least imply the language is pure
21:19:32 <rapido> yeah, i know what you mean 
21:21:01 <elliott> the language seems interesting at a glance, though the syntax is hard to get over.
21:21:19 <rapido> every language is suddenly ‘functional’ because that’s fashionable to say
21:21:39 <rapido> yeah, the syntax is hard because it’s completely free form
21:21:52 <rapido> (which i rather like)
21:22:52 <rapido> because we should talk about semantics - no?  9.9 
21:23:10 <elliott> yeah, but syntax is easier to argue about
21:23:39 <oerjan> let's argue about the syntax of comments
21:24:45 <oerjan> i recommend borrowing the -- (...) (...) ... from Reaper.

21:25:05 <oerjan> oops
21:26:07 <elliott> I still want you to finish that.
21:26:16 <rapido> what about this avail gem? http://www.availlang.org/_examples/rpn/RPN.avail
21:26:30 <rapido> i’m very much into postfix syntax 
21:28:01 <rapido> but that example just renders syntax arguments moot
21:29:14 <oerjan> i sense some COBOL/ADA inspiration.
21:29:15 <rapido> but, it could be that avail is an advertisment for babelism 
21:29:29 <rapido> and apl

21:30:28 <elliott> you could also say that article provides more fuel for syntax arguments than anyone could ever need :p
21:31:08 <rapido> see: https://trac.availlang.org/browser/avail/Avail/distro/src/avail/Avail.avail/Foundation.avail/Sets.avail
21:32:09 <rapido> fyi i’m totally in love with avail
21:32:34 <rapido> it’s like my language enchilada, but with types
21:33:50 <rapido> oh, yeah utf-8
21:36:34 <oerjan> types are like enchiladas
21:37:21 <rapido> oerjan: ah? i never tasted such a type of enchilada
21:37:51 <oerjan> you need to wear a hazmat suit
21:38:45 <oerjan> in the middle of a desert

21:39:56 <oerjan> that _may_ be why.
21:40:19 <oerjan> (i'm just parodying monad analogies here, assuming they're going over your head)
21:40:46 <rapido> god, i need urine but i’m wearing this suit
21:40:59 <oerjan> urine a bit of trouble then
21:41:13 -!- Bike has joined.
21:41:15 <rapido> monad analogies go over my head because i ignore them
21:41:36 <rapido> monads thus
21:42:20 <pikhq> Monads are like burritos: nobody understands them.
21:42:31 <oerjan> good, good.  once a monad analogy gets into your head you cannot get it out again.
21:43:31 <oerjan> pikhq: i'm pretty sure edwardk does.
21:43:49 <pikhq> edwardk, burrito god.
21:44:15 <Bike> burritos rule, though....
21:45:01 <rapido> nope, they fligh right over my head - because i duck

21:56:22 <rapido> just to show off my new love, she’s a rare kind of type (of types of types): http://www.availlang.org/about-avail/documentation/type-system/metatypes.html
21:57:39 <edwardk> oerjan: i've been known to wrap code in a burrito or two
21:57:58 <edwardk> oerjan: what can i help you with?
21:58:25 <edwardk> i do maintain the burrito transformer library ;)
21:58:42 <oerjan> we were merely wondering if the monad-burrito correspondence held for you
22:00:26 <oerjan> @hoogle liftST
22:00:28 <lambdabot> Language.Haskell.TH.Syntax liftString :: String -> Q Exp
22:00:37 <oerjan> ...nope.
22:00:39 <Melvar> ( Type
22:00:40 <idris-bot> Type : Type
22:11:16 <oerjan> :t cont
22:11:17 <lambdabot> ((a -> r) -> r) -> Cont r a
22:11:48 <shachaf> Cont r a variant
22:12:01 <oerjan> hm why doesn't that give a general MonadCont
22:12:06 <oerjan> :t state
22:12:07 <lambdabot> MonadState s m => (s -> (a, s)) -> m a
22:12:15 <oerjan> like this one
22:13:21 <oerjan> edwardk: i suppose as the maintainer of the burrito transformer library you should know that?
22:13:27 <edwardk> comonads are more like burritos to me
22:13:34 <edwardk> you can always unwrap them
22:13:56 <oerjan> aha
22:14:39 <edwardk> anyways, cont can't be upgraded the way you want. m occurs in both positive and negative position in it
22:14:50 <edwardk> :t ContT
22:14:50 <oerjan> darn
22:14:51 <lambdabot> ((a -> m r) -> m r) -> ContT r m a
22:15:28 <oerjan> hm
22:15:50 <oerjan> you _could_ do it from the Codensity version, right?
22:16:12 <oerjan> i mean, a forall on the r would suffice.
22:16:27 <edwardk> you've stumbled on the difference between MonadTrans and something stronger that permits an injection t Identity a -> t m a or   (MonadHoist t, Monad m , Monad n) => (forall a. m a -> n a) -> t m a -> t n a 
22:16:58 <edwardk> i haven't checked naturality of hoisting for Codensity

22:21:59 <oerjan> edwardk: i'm just wondering if you can write something of type MonadCont m => (forall r. (a -> r) -> r) -> m a
22:22:16 <edwardk> forall r? sure
22:22:19 <edwardk> that one is easy
22:22:31 <edwardk> pick r = m r'
22:22:45 <edwardk> for full Codensity?
22:22:54 <oerjan> :t callCC
22:22:55 <lambdabot> MonadCont m => ((a -> m b) -> m a) -> m a
22:23:04 <oerjan> hm that's not quite the right type
22:23:16 <edwardk> not calCC
22:23:23 <edwardk> you can't callCC with Codensity
22:23:28 <edwardk> but you can lower codensity to Cont
22:23:35 <oerjan> edwardk: i'm talking about MonadCont
22:24:04 <oerjan> since that is, after all, it's only specific method.
22:24:10 <edwardk> trivial :: Codensity m a -> ContT r m a; trivial = ContT . runCodensity
22:24:12 <oerjan> *its
22:24:15 <rapido> Ghoul_: sorry, i thought you were someone else.
22:24:19 <edwardk> but handling all of MonadCont I don't expect

22:50:58 <edwardk> yeah
22:51:17 <oerjan> er wait
22:51:21 <edwardk> er
22:51:24 <oerjan> :t runCodensity
22:51:25 <edwardk> your statement is a bit different
22:51:25 <lambdabot>     Not in scope: ‘runCodensity’
22:51:25 <lambdabot>     Perhaps you meant ‘runIdentity’ (imported from Control.Monad.Identity)
22:51:56 <edwardk> I was just running Codensity m a in ContT r m a -- unquantifying r
22:53:06 <oerjan> my er was because i realized m worked instead of Identity
22:53:29 <oerjan> i just needed to look up that i remembered the definition of Codensity.
22:53:37 <oerjan> *correctly
22:55:47 <oerjan> :t callCC :: MonadCont m => (forall z. (a -> m z) -> m z) -> m a
22:55:48 <lambdabot>     Couldn't match type ‘(a1 -> m1 b0) -> m1 a1’
22:55:48 <lambdabot>                   with ‘forall z. (a1 -> m1 z) -> m1 z’
22:55:48 <lambdabot>     Expected type: (forall z. (a1 -> m1 z) -> m1 z) -> m1 a1
22:56:06 <edwardk> you can lift Codensity Identity as well of course.
22:56:21 <edwardk> no need to callCC
22:56:25 <oerjan> hm i guess i need a let
22:56:26 <edwardk> just use the ContT constructor
22:56:28 <edwardk> :t ContT
22:56:29 <lambdabot> ((a -> m r) -> m r) -> ContT r m a

15:40:33 <tromp_> exercise: write non-recursive factorial for Church numerals
15:41:53 <shachaf> exercise: write non-recursive ackermann function for Chuch numerals
15:42:29 <tromp_> you sure that's possible?
15:43:04 <shachaf> it's possible for it to be an exercise
15:43:06 <tromp_> at least factorial is possible
15:44:00 <int-e> the ackermann thing is instructive.
15:44:37 <int-e> I have a typographical hint: instead of  ack(n,m), write ack_n(m).
15:45:15 <Taneb> There's a slightly (very) cheaty way of doing this...
15:46:03 <tromp_> int-e: good point. now it looks not only possible, but straightforward:)
15:51:37 <tromp_> my best factorial is 78 bits

16:34:22 <FireFly> nice* even
16:35:14 <tromp_> i dont expect anyone to ever take up that challenge:)
16:36:03 <tromp_> it's gonna be so horridly slow that you'd have trouble checking that it works
16:36:37 <tromp_> at least the direction i took is pretty efficient
16:37:25 <Jafet> c2bf might be only a few patches away from being up to the task
16:38:08 <Jafet> C is nearly as bad at memory management as brainfuck, however
16:38:49 <int-e> at least it has pointers
16:39:28 <int-e> In fact I disagree completely with that statement.
16:40:21 <int-e> In Brainfuck you find yourself playing Hilbert's Hotel games all the time. That doesn't really happen in C.
16:41:46 <Jafet> By C I mean the subset of C implemented by c2bf.

16:42:04 <int-e> hmm
16:42:31 <int-e> maybe you should call it c2bf-C
16:44:39 <Jafet> Apparently, c2bf has a "heap" stride but there is no malloc. It'll probably need to be implemented using inline assembly manipulating the heap.

16:59:20 <mroman_> nortti: Doesn't have to be brainfuck
16:59:28 <mroman_> but I'd wonder whether you could find your way to the next cell
17:01:14 <Jafet> The number of reachable cells is limited by the size of the program
17:02:04 <mroman_> hm?
17:03:30 <mroman_> Not if you find an algorithm that searches for the next valid cell
17:03:52 <nortti> but how do you get there if +-,. are illegal?
17:04:03 <Jafet> It cannot, because it cannot mark the cells on the way to the next valid cell
17:04:19 <Bike> isn't three-cell brainfuck turing-complete? so just use 235 for everything.

17:58:53 <tromp_> only a finite number of omgae bits can ever be proven

18:00:09 <tromp_> and also  all 1
18:00:17 <FireFly> tromp_: ooh
18:00:22 <FireFly> I remember when that was posted to /r/haskell
18:03:09 <kmc> can you say more about why only a finite number of bits can be proven?
18:03:40 <tromp_> by a close analog of berry's paradox
18:04:11 <tromp_> let's say you can enumerate theorems of the form K(x) >= n
18:04:37 <tromp_> that give lower bounds on Kolmogorov complexity of finite strings
18:04:53 <int-e> hmm. I wonder which is the "best" memo library on hackage. (I'm using memotrie but only because that's the first usable one I found)
18:04:58 <tromp_> i.e. there is no blc program less than n bits that outputs x
18:05:41 <tromp_> then you can write a short program that enumerates such theorems until it finds one with n >= N, and outputs the corresponding x
18:06:42 <tromp_> this would show K(x) < logN + O(1), a contradition  for large enough N
18:07:10 <kmc> ah! neat
18:07:10 <tromp_> so any consistent theory can only prove finitely many theorems of that form
18:07:50 <tromp_> the argument for bits of omega is a little more technical
18:08:20 <tromp_> but basically, if you have the first n bits of omega, you can identify all x with K(x) <=n
18:08:36 <tromp_> and thus also an x with K() > n
18:11:11 <tromp_> i like Data.MemoCombinators
18:13:08 <tromp_> in fact i used that for the OEIS entry: https://oeis.org/A114852/a114852.hs.txt

18:18:58 <kmc> ICANN has cheezburger
18:20:16 <int-e> Bike: Yes that confusion happens a lot. To be fair, memoization is a very common implementation strategy for dynamic programming.
18:21:29 <Bike> oh sure
18:22:03 <Bike> unrelatedly, does anyone else think it's funny when fib is used as an example for recursion and memoization, since you can do it way better with linalg
18:22:37 <int-e> tromp_: what I like about memotrie (possibly because I came up with the same design at some point) is the split  memo = untrie . trie, where 'trie' and 'untrie' give you access to the actual data structure used for memoization.
18:23:10 <int-e> tromp_: (personally I call 'trie' 'populate' and 'untrie' 'loopkup', but that's just colors of a bikeshed)
18:23:17 <shachaf> int-e: everyone came up with the same design at the same time, or so i hear
18:23:19 <int-e> *lookup
18:23:20 <Bike> i prefer salmon
18:23:51 <int-e> shachaf: not everyone; plenty of memoization libraries revolve around 'memo'.
18:24:27 <shachaf> conal and luqui released their memoization libraries within hours of each other or something

18:25:34 <HackEgo> ​bong
18:25:38 <int-e> Bike: I think it's a fine exemple for introducing the memoization concept. You want people to think about the structure of the computation rather than the actual computed values.
18:26:01 <Bike> yeah sure
18:26:12 <myname> just for my understanding: in the K lambda diagram, one could have left out the upper half of the vertical bar?
18:26:26 <myname> erm
18:26:29 <myname> nvmd
18:26:35 <Bike> it's a good example for recursion too, i just imagine a million programmers using these implementations in actual programs
18:27:03 <int-e> Bike: fortunately fibonacci numbers aren't all that useful in practice ;-)
18:27:21 <Bike> how rude! i have to simulate fuckbunnies all the time

18:42:59 <myname> what is teco? it sounds like i want to learn it
18:42:59 <int-e> unlike APL
18:43:02 <Bike> can you really say that in the land of haskell oneliners...........
18:43:07 <Bike> teco is the editor emacs is based on, or something
18:43:12 <int-e> emacs = editor macros (for teco)
18:43:19 <myname> ew
18:43:31 <FireFly> teco is like the esotericest esolang ever
18:43:44 <nortti> teco actually does not resemble emacs in normal use at all
18:43:45 <int-e> I understand that it (emacs) wasn't based on Lisp at that time.
18:43:55 <FireFly> and people used it seriously!
18:44:05 <int-e> I used ed seriously
18:44:16 <FireFly> That's not as weird
18:44:19 <nortti> int-e: yep, it was basically a screen editor written in a scripting language for another editor

18:46:07 <int-e> Actually that's about the fragment of vi that I know to use. I use emacs for larger edits.
18:46:28 <myname> so, emacs was written with an editor that was written in a language for a third editor?
18:46:37 <int-e> (where s/vi/vim/ because I use the cursor keys)
18:47:18 <nortti> myname: no, it run on the teco editor's scripting language
18:47:29 <int-e> and how did we end up discussing text editors anyway ... such a loaded topic is best avoided on programming channels. :)
18:48:11 <nortti> there are things to avoid. politics, religion and text editors (or is that part of the second one?)
18:48:24 <FireFly> or maybe the former
18:48:27 <FireFly> or both
18:48:45 <int-e> yes.

18:49:19 <nortti> 7 mins, actually
18:49:47 <Bike> /like/
18:49:59 <nortti> no, I do not
18:50:06 <FireFly> So, uh, thoughts on Unity?

18:50:17 * FireFly attempts to divert the channel to a less controversial topic
18:50:28 <FireFly> yes
18:50:44 <Bike> terrible. literally the antichrist, foretold in the holy texts
18:50:57 <nortti> last I used it (12.04?) it was still kinda buggy but I could see how they could make it usable
18:51:17 <nortti> then again, I could more easily see how they could fuck it up completely
18:51:31 <int-e> I have not yet had the displeasure of using Unity, and I have no plans to change that.
18:51:42 <Bike> usability doesn't matter. it's perfect and it's evil
18:51:53 <nortti> why is it evil?
18:52:02 <Bike> once its market share has increased the goat shall release the third seal
18:53:29 <int-e> yay, DDG ranks the game engine before the desktop environment.
18:55:27 <Bike> probably ranks gnomes before gnome as well
18:56:06 <nortti> nope, gnome.org is the highest
18:59:46 <Melvar> I am somewhat worried that I haven’t seen a serious project to provide a waylandish xmonad-alike yet.
19:00:02 <Bike> what, is xmonad that tied to x
19:00:22 <nortti> uh, in wayland the wm itself also does display server
19:00:32 <FireFly> I think most WMs are
19:00:41 <Melvar> What nortti said.

20:53:23 <kmc> that depends, is HTML parsing turing complete?
20:53:26 <kmc> i'm not making Rust

20:53:58 <kmc> :D
20:54:03 <kmc> it's less eso than C++
20:54:06 <int-e> tromp_: Oh. I see you're "only" requring the <_,z> context to be in normal form. that also answers my question then.
20:55:01 <kmc> hm I have 10 commits in rust, that's more than I thought
20:55:17 <kmc> several of them are in code that no longer exists
20:55:18 <oerjan> my wild guess is that standard html parsing is not tc but that html-that's-actually-used parsing is.
20:55:23 <kmc> two of them are fixing the same thing that broke twice
20:55:31 <kmc> oerjan: the idea of HTML5 is to unify those two things
20:56:19 <oerjan> good, good.
20:56:28 <oerjan> so probably uncomputable, then.
20:56:49 <kmc> it's a precise spec for how to handle even very broken content, so that all browsers will do it the same way
20:57:02 <kmc> as a result it's stupifyingly complicated
20:59:42 <monotone> The spec is really just taking the crazy way in which browsers have already been parsing broken HTML and formalizing it so that you can continue to write the same broken HTML in perpetuity.
21:00:05 <kmc> well, yes and no
21:00:06 <oerjan> shachaf: yw
21:00:14 <kmc> it specifies which constructs are considered broken
21:00:23 <kmc> conformance checkers will reject them, but their meaning is still specified
21:01:01 <tromp_> int-e: yeah, the halting prob. definition is subtle. i believe the normal form requirement is necessary to allow identifying all programs that contribute to an omega prefix

21:05:26 <int-e> tromp_: Actually, why not? As long as it reaches that point without looking at the 'z' part ... hmm. Tricky.
21:06:01 <FireFly> monotone: yeah, Hixie has some fun diagrams in an old blog post: http://ln.hixie.ch/?start=1037910467&count=1
21:06:33 <int-e> tromp_: Anyway it looks to me like you have no unique definition of \Omega. The BLC.pdf draft does not mention a normal form property at all, stating that you might just as well not have it.
21:06:42 <oerjan> <tromp_> but i doubt if the goodstein function can avoid recursion <-- i wonder if the functions expressible in system F are the same as those that can be proved total in peano arithmetic, or something like that.
21:07:24 <tromp_> i want to be able to prove the famous  symmetry of information thm
21:07:27 <int-e> oerjan: that excludes fix?
21:07:37 <oerjan> int-e: yes
21:07:47 <oerjan> for this purpose, at least
21:08:00 <tromp_> that paper has an obsolete definition:(
21:08:06 <tromp_> which i shld update
21:08:33 <kmc> non-tree DOM? :(
21:08:44 <kmc> this is why we can't have nice things
21:09:09 <FireFly> I wonder how the HTML5 algorithm would parse that example..
21:09:17 -!- Sprocklem has quit (Quit: Watching rugby).
21:09:23 <oerjan> int-e: but importantly, it includes church numerals.
21:09:29 <tromp_> to prove symmetry of information, you must be able to take any halting computation and see if the output is a pair starting with some given x
21:09:41 <oerjan> (forall a. (a -> a) -> a -> a)
21:10:07 <int-e> tromp_: anyway, as I read it, 'z' would be a symbolic variable (to prevent the program from inspecting the input beyond the "consumed" part), but then z is also a normal form, so U(p:z) = <z,z> would be allowed.
21:12:54 <tromp_> no, z is not in NF
21:13:19 <oerjan> oh hm no system F is stronger than that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-order_arithmetic#Definable_functions_of_second-order_arithmetic
21:13:20 <tromp_> NF should be closed terms
21:14:30 <int-e> that works.

21:16:17 <kmc> what are you doing with connect 4?
21:16:24 <int-e> (is that standard? in first order term rewriting, free variables are everywhere (there's no way to bind them...))
21:16:29 <tromp_> trying to solve it
21:17:01 <int-e> so variables as normal forms are also everywhere.
21:17:04 <kmc> as in which player wins with optimal play?
21:17:21 <tromp_> yes, kmc
21:17:26 <int-e> width 8 ... oh that would upset my intuition about the game a lot.
21:17:36 <kmc> how are you going about it?
21:17:47 <tromp_> i should edit that article to make explicit what that i mean closed normal forms, int-e
21:18:36 <FireFly> kmc: hm, that seems to match the Mozilla behaviour from 2002
21:18:46 <tromp_> well, i have a solver that works some dozen plies into the game
21:18:57 <int-e> kmc: you should see http://homepages.cwi.nl/~tromp/c4/c4.html
21:18:58 <FireFly> the element cloning is a bit bizarre, but it's invalid to begin with so I guess it doesn't matter too much
21:19:03 <tromp_> now i need to play lots of games and build an opening library
21:19:55 <oerjan> tromp_: the last link + the first parentheses in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodstein%27s_theorem would seem to imply that the goodstein function _can_ be expressed in system F.
21:20:07 <oerjan> *that last link
21:22:34 <tromp_> you mean "The Power of a Detour via Infinity", oerjan?
21:22:57 <oerjan> no, i mean _my_ last link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-order_arithmetic#Definable_functions_of_second-order_arithmetic
21:23:58 <oerjan> i realized my sentence was ambiguous and that's why i changed to "that"
21:24:42 <tromp_> hmm, how does definability in system F related to definability without recursion? is that equivalent?
21:24:55 <oerjan> system F has no recursion
21:25:12 <oerjan> it's rank-N typed lambda calculus
21:26:39 <tromp_> ic. so i should be able to redefine my function g without using haskell's recursion
21:27:06 <tromp_> but it may not be pretty:-(
21:27:25 -!- Patashu has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds).
21:27:56 <int-e> tromp_: the church numeral thing should JUST WORK, if you give church numerals the right type (forall a. (a -> a) -> a -> a)
21:28:04 <oerjan> i'd sort of expect you'd need to represent ordinals.
21:28:40 <oerjan> yes, another property of system F is that you can _define_ church numerals as the terms of that type
21:29:21 <oerjan> this also works for church representations of many other data types
21:31:30 <oerjan> e.g. the only system F terms of type forall a. a -> a -> a  are the church booleans
21:32:47 <oerjan> system F is the original system with parametricity, and unlike haskell's version there are no subtle caveats for when it applies.
21:33:22 <shachaf> which subtle caveats

22:13:57 <olsner> hmm, it copies L.hs to /tmp/L.hs?
22:14:51 <kmc> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion#Examples_and_applications "Thermal expansion of long continuous sections of rail tracks is the driving force for rail buckling. This phenomenon resulted in 190 train derailments during 1998–2002 in the US alone."
22:15:16 <kmc> i think that's buckling because it gets longer, not thicker
22:15:21 <int-e> olsner: sadly, yes. that's where it puts the temporary haskell file to be loaded, and it doesn't set an include path in ghci
22:15:40 <int-e> where by ghci I mean ghc-as-a-library.
22:18:16 <olsner> then I assume/hope that only one evaluation can be running at a time?
22:18:55 <olsner> is it lambdabot that copies the file and runs mueval on it, or is that in mueval?
22:18:57 <int-e> 00:10:06 <lambdabot>  mueval-core: L.hs: removeLink: does not exist (No such file or directory) <-- this is evidence to the contrary
22:19:04 <int-e> it's mueval
22:19:51 <int-e> which should probably create a temprary subdirectory in /tmp each time instead.
22:20:12 <int-e> just to avoid this problem. oh well.

07:58:51 <slereah_> Let's just buy some copper wire and some routers
07:58:56 <slereah_> We'll make our own internet!
07:59:12 <slereah_> With blackjack
07:59:14 <slereah_> And hookers
08:01:05 <FireFly> Didn't Russia say they were going to do approximately that?
08:01:37 <slereah_> They used to have their own network back in the USSR days

08:34:51 <mroman_> Is there yet a 2D language where you have to modell "data flow"?
08:34:58 <mroman_> in addition to instruction flow
08:35:15 <mroman_> i.e. data is stored on the 2D grid itself
08:35:59 <mroman_> (without having a data pointer that points to some cell in the grid)
08:36:07 <Jafet> CAs
08:36:18 <mroman_> You'd actually have to move data around.
08:36:33 <slereah_> The Rube language?
08:36:55 <Jafet> Wireworld is one that's actually designed to resemble circuits.
08:37:15 <mroman_> http://codepad.org/9f6lWtqu
08:37:28 <mroman_> DULR change directions of the data stream
08:37:40 <mroman_> dulr take data from their "opposite" point and send them
08:37:55 <mroman_> i.e. r takes the data from the cell to the left and sends it rightwards
08:38:05 <mroman_> until it arrives at another data cell
08:38:35 <mroman_> (the above code should calculate a=a+2*r, with a initialized to 2)
08:39:28 <mroman_> oh wait
08:39:57 <mroman_> http://codepad.org/H1IXEaXj <- like that
08:40:04 <Jafet> Also, circuit layouts are 2D computer languages
08:40:06 <mroman_> there's no interpreter yet. Just sketched out some things in my hand
08:40:28 <mroman_> the result from the addition is moved to the 0 above the *
08:41:09 <mroman_> Yead.
08:41:12 <mroman_> *Yeah

11:06:35 <ais523> anyway, the standard rule is that the source code should say the "what", but it doesn't say the "why", so you need comments to explain it to other developers
11:06:44 <ais523> and my idea was: why don't we explain why the code is doing what it does to the computer?
11:07:09 <Darkgamma> how do you mean
11:07:14 <ais523> so that if we have an explanation saying "we're doing this so that foo", and it doesn't cause foo, we get a warning or an error
11:07:24 <ais523> then I got a little stuck trying to figure out how you explain a reason to a computer
11:07:27 <mroman_> oerjan: what bars?
11:07:35 <oerjan> sheesh, i thought the whole point of enclosing the link in <> was to _decrease_ the chance of clients parsing it wrong
11:07:36 <ais523> my current idea is that you make statements about the future
11:07:52 <mroman_> the only thing really disturbing me is that scrolling on that website is laggy
11:08:01 <ais523> oerjan: blame the qwebirc people, I guess
11:08:07 <oerjan> mroman_: let me guess, you don't see them because no enable javascript?
11:08:12 <Darkgamma> ais523, like INTERCAL's go-from?
11:08:16 <Darkgamma> but more elaborate?
11:08:25 <ais523> Darkgamma: it's not really like COME FROM
11:08:32 <ais523> it's more like, you make a prediction about the future
11:08:35 <Darkgamma> come-from, my bad
11:08:41 <ais523> the compiler tries to prove it, if it can, great
11:08:42 <mroman_> oerjan: I have IE with JavaScript enabled
11:08:47 <ais523> if it can find a counterexample, the program errors out
11:08:58 <ais523> if it can't do either, it puts in runtime checks, and complains if the statement ever appears to be false
11:09:51 <Darkgamma> hm
11:09:56 <mroman_> but I have a wide screen
11:10:02 <Darkgamma> how do you think of doing it
11:10:05 <mroman_> 1900 times something I guess
11:10:12 <int-e> forever love; while (love) {}
11:10:20 <ais523> Darkgamma: I don't, really, it's quite a new idea, and one that might not ever be properly fleshed out
11:10:21 <mroman_> If I'd surf with 800x600 things'd probably look different
11:10:25 <ais523> I have enough vaporware languages already
11:10:25 <oerjan> mroman_: they are bars on _top_ and _bottom_
11:10:41 <oerjan> mroman_: i surf with non-maximized window + zoom
11:10:45 <ais523> but innovative esolang ideas are rare, so I like to share them with the channel in case they inspire other people
11:10:55 <mroman_> You mean the menu bar?
11:11:22 <oerjan> mroman_: you are looking at http://www.cnet.com/news/ancient-d20-die-emerges-from-the-ashes-of-time/ right?
11:11:28 <mroman_> oerjan: Yeah.
11:11:31 <Darkgamma> ais523, hm I don't know how it'd end up compiled but doing it in an interpreter seems not extremely difficult
11:11:39 <mroman_> Or are you refering to the ad bar below the menu bar?
11:12:11 <ais523> Darkgamma: yeah, if you're merely making statements like "I do this so that there won't be a divide by zero exception"
11:12:15 <ais523> and then there's a divide by zero exception
11:12:19 <ais523> then that line of code probably isn't doing its job
11:12:31 <mroman_> If I surf with a non-maximized window with 200% zoom those bars take almost 90% of the window
11:12:31 <Darkgamma> heh
11:13:02 <mroman_> but with normal window size and 100% zoom it doesn't disturb me at all
11:13:09 <oerjan> mroman_: menu at top, menu at bottom.  except ... it's suddenly stopped doing that D:
11:13:20 <mroman_> the site is still laggy when scrolling
11:13:32 <oerjan> now it's just the one hovering on top
11:13:40 <oerjan> a while ago it was only bottom.
11:13:48 <oerjan> so i guess the site is just screwy.
11:13:56 <mroman_> I also hate websites that hide the scrollbar on the right
11:14:02 <mroman_> How am I supposed to scroll then
11:14:19 <mroman_> ah. arrow keys
11:14:21 <mroman_> k
11:14:21 <int-e> scroll wheel
11:14:41 <mroman_> I like scrolling with the left mouse button
11:15:08 <oerjan> ais523: are you reinventing design by contract?
11:15:17 <ais523> oerjan: not exactly
11:15:24 <ais523> there's a difference between a precondition/postcondition, and a reason
11:15:34 <ais523> I'm sort-of inventing asserts, except time-displaced
11:15:42 <ais523> like, the innovation isn't assert(foo);
11:16:06 <ais523> but assert(foo will be 5 even after unrelated function X returns);
11:17:01 <Darkgamma> hm
11:17:28 <oerjan> mroman_: hm normally on sites with hidden scrollbar it reappears when i move the pointer
11:17:34 <Darkgamma> do you assert that foo will be 5 after a specific function or after any general function
11:17:41 <Darkgamma> @ais523

11:17:57 <HackEgo> Agent “Iä” Smith is an alien with a strange allergy to avian body covering, which he is trying to retroactively prevent from ever evolving. On the 3rd of March, he's lawful good.
11:18:10 <mroman_> letting websites style the scrollbar was a dump idea anyway *i think*
11:18:15 <ais523> oerjan: the wisdom database isn't particularly elucidating, really
11:18:25 <oerjan> Darkgamma: we don
11:18:37 <mroman_> I hope they can style the "back" and "forward" button in HTML5
11:18:43 <mroman_> because that would make _so much_ sense
11:18:46 <oerjan> 't use @nick addressing here, and lambdabot keeps us honest
11:19:07 <Darkgamma> oh okay
11:19:58 <oerjan> ais523: that's just what an alien would say
11:20:13 <mroman_> I also don't get why browsers don't display a scrollbar on pages where you wouldn't need to scroll
11:20:19 <mroman_> because it makes the window some pixels wider
11:20:27 <mroman_> and when there's enough content, the window is suddenly smaller
11:20:44 <mroman_> and designers freak out because now everything is a little bit displaced when you compare it to a page with less content
11:20:49 <mroman_> so they do stupid things to fix that
11:21:03 <mroman_> like inline scrollbars and shitt
11:21:05 <oerjan> do you have an extraneous "don't" in that first sentence
11:21:07 <mroman_> or even worse
11:21:16 <mroman_> javascript emulated scrolling or whatever it's called
11:21:21 <ais523> mroman_: can't you just do overflow-y:scroll, or whatever it is?
11:21:33 <mroman_> ais523: you can
11:21:49 <mroman_> but then you have a scroll bar sort of in the webpage itself
11:22:52 <mroman_> the best thing you can do is have your menu bars "fixed"
11:22:56 <mroman_> so they don't move while scrolling
11:23:07 <oerjan> *"broken"
11:23:19 <mroman_> and then make some dummy div to extend the webpage to 101% height so that a scrollbar on the right is always there
11:24:16 <mroman_> and some quirks I'm pretty sure are just done to be able to place more ads .
11:25:17 * oerjan suddenly imagines a web browser which is made for ignoring all that enterprisey stuff.  it'll be called Lenin, and its tagline should be "Because capitalists should not control the Web."
11:25:55 <mroman_> http://news.slashdot.org/story/14/05/12/2013236/lectures-arent-just-boring-theyre-ineffective-too-study-finds o_O
11:26:04 <oerjan> it'll probably be judged illegal in the US if anyone tried that, though.
11:27:05 <oerjan> mroman_: are you actually surprised at this finding tdnh
11:27:12 <mroman_> No.
11:27:16 <mroman_> But I don't listen to lecturers
11:27:24 <mroman_> And I don't like to participate
11:27:42 <mroman_> I just sit in class for the sake of being physically present
11:27:57 <Taneb> mroman_, I've almost stopped even that
11:28:03 <mroman_> It's not like they're teaching anything new
11:28:25 <mroman_> So far this semester I've only had As
11:28:28 <oerjan> can i offer "teaching methods that teach all people identically aren't effective", then?
11:28:57 <oerjan> (i'm afraid i have no evidence, only foaming prejudice)
11:29:05 <mroman_> Some Exam about Lisp, Prolog, Java Bytecode and Functional Programming
11:29:30 <mroman_> One question just had some Java Bytecode and you had to interpret it like a freaking jvm
11:29:54 <ais523> oerjan: surely they're effective for some subset of people, and ineffective for others?
11:30:18 <mroman_> Like the teachers assume I can't read java bytecode specs
11:30:24 <ais523> I know when I was teaching, the normal aim was to find some method that would work for a decent proportion, then find some method that would work on a decent proportion of the remainders, and so on
11:31:42 <mroman_> I stopped learning for exams that are open book
11:31:52 <mroman_> It's just not necessary
11:32:16 <Taneb> I probably ought to learn this term's calculus at some point
11:32:30 <mroman_> I just print out spec and cheat sheets and I'm done learning
11:32:33 <ais523> mroman_: my guess is, perhaps it will be later on, but maybe not at the current level
11:32:41 <mroman_> I'll read the specs on the fly during the exam and I'm good
11:32:50 <ais523> admittedly, some exams are "you have to spend a bunch of time trying to figure out wtf the examiner is thinking"
11:32:51 <mroman_> ais523: I'm in my last semester
11:32:56 <ais523> like, you're not trying to learn the subject
11:32:57 <Taneb> I'd go out of your way to learn things just so you don't forget how
11:33:04 <ais523> you're trying to learn how to comprehend the particular lecturer
11:33:14 <oerjan> mroman_: the problem is if you need the things you're supposed to have learned as a basis for your next level of courses.
11:33:16 <ais523> Taneb: well, learning to work from spec sheets is a pretty useful skill
11:33:21 <mroman_> ais523: social engineering is an important skill ;)
11:33:32 <oerjan> which might be more important in math than in computing, i dunno.
11:33:48 <mroman_> oerjan: yeah. That's only important in math classes
11:34:16 <mroman_> but the good thing about that is that different people from different backgrounds can choose the same lecture/class/course
11:34:35 <mroman_> so they can't assume you know things because not everybody has had the same classes as you up to this point
11:34:47 <mroman_> so essentially you don't need to know anything about what last semester happened
11:35:16 <Jafet> So essentially they are proscribed from teaching anything in depth
11:35:18 <Taneb> Not even for prerequisites?
11:35:20 <Jafet> Sounds p. good
11:35:31 <mroman_> ais523: "current level"... They assume I don't know anything about functional programming
11:35:45 <mroman_> which is a correct assumption for 99.9% of all students
11:35:53 <ais523> I wonder how many people in #esoteric don't know anything about functional programming
11:35:58 <ais523> it's hard to not pick up at least some Haskell if you idle here
11:36:02 <mroman_> but most of their assumptions just don't apply to somebody like me
11:36:20 <mroman_> I've started programming at age 12
11:36:33 <Taneb> Apparently the second-year compilers module here uses Haskell for parsing, but doesn't really teach it beyond "here's do notation and parsec. Write a parser"
11:36:36 <mroman_> I knew haskell before I was 18
11:36:52 <ais523> I didn't know Haskell before I was 18, but it wasn't very mainstream back then
11:36:59 <Taneb> And someone wrote idiomatic Haskell in Applicative style.
11:37:17 <mroman_> Taneb: most things with parsec can be done by try and <|> anyway ;)
11:37:24 <Taneb> The person marking/evaluating/whatever it looked at it and nodded, confused
11:37:30 <mroman_> and some of oneOf, many1, string, char
11:37:42 <ais523> Taneb: I've seen people try to mark things wrong because they don't understand them :-(
11:37:45 <ais523> quite rarely, though
11:37:55 <oerjan> haskell didn't exist when i was 18 hth
11:38:04 <Taneb> ais523, the marker had to say "I'm going to have to trust you on this one"
11:38:17 <mroman_> oerjan: Why are you ending every single sentence with hth
11:38:18 <Taneb> oerjan, when I was 18 I knew lens
11:38:30 <ais523> Taneb: there have been cases where people had to ask me to check them
11:38:33 <Taneb> mroman_, it's Norwegian for the full stop
11:38:56 <oerjan> mroman_: it's probably my inner seething anger seeping out
11:39:11 <Jafet> twh
11:40:11 <Taneb> On my 18th birthday, lens-3.1 was a thing
11:40:25 <Taneb> I hope you all feel old
11:43:31 <oerjan> mroman_: also, your admonishment gets somewhat weakened by my quick checking finding _no_ other instance of hth since i joined the channel (although one tdnh).  i may have missed one but still...

20:08:34 <HackEgo> ​Welcome to the international hub for esoteric programming language design and deployment! 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.)
20:08:55 <tailcalled> does anybody know any function that is "just barely" uncomputable?
20:09:16 <Bike> elaborate
20:09:26 <Bike> maybe you mean a semicomputable function, though
20:09:43 <tailcalled> well, I made the language called Zero
20:10:01 <tailcalled> because I wanted to make an unimplementable language without extra power
20:10:09 <tailcalled> but the method feels kinda cheaty
20:10:50 <tailcalled> so I was wondering if anyone happened to know an unusable uncomputable function
20:11:10 <Bike> what would a usable uncomputable function even be.
20:11:27 <shachaf> an oracle?
20:11:43 <tailcalled> well, solving the halting problem would be usable
20:11:48 <tailcalled> well, useful
20:11:55 <tailcalled> usable = useful in my head
20:12:23 <Bike> eh, well you can reduce uncomputable functions to the halting problem, or something. probably.
20:12:33 <kmc> a random oracle is not very useful, unless you're doing cryptography :)
20:13:12 <tailcalled> not every uncomputable function, I would assume
20:13:15 <kmc> people study relativization wrt a random oracle in complexity theory
20:13:27 <Bike> you assume.
20:13:33 <kmc> P^A != NP^A with probability 1 for a random oracle A
20:13:37 -!- MoALTz has joined.
20:13:48 <kmc> but this is also true for some classes that are actually known to be equal
20:14:48 <tailcalled> well, having an incompressible stream is less powerful than halting problem, correct?
20:15:10 <Bike> i don't want to get out my copy of li and vitanyi but, for example, you can make a turing-complete computer out of diophantine equations
20:15:49 <Bike> tailcalled: well the incompressible stream isn't uncomputable, is it? what's uncomputable is verifying that it's incompressible.
20:15:56 <kmc> Bike: ooh, should I read this book?
20:16:07 <kmc> "This was the second-hardest book I ever read. Honestly, it took me years and years to get through it. I even had to buy a 2nd copy, because I kept getting frustrated and throwing the first copy across the room until it was destroyed. So yes, this book requires a substantial effort to read."
20:16:21 <tailcalled> bike: having a program computing an iincompressible stream is a contradiction in itself
20:16:42 <tailcalled> bike: because that program would be a compression of the stream
20:16:44 <Bike> kmc: http://fioraaeterna.tumblr.com/post/21338563373/ran-helps-kaguya-learn-information-theory-just fiora-approved
20:17:06 <tailcalled> bike: of course, the halting sequence is an example of an incompreessible stream
20:17:08 <Bike> kmc: it's good, though i can't endorse the bayes stuff near the end :V
20:17:10 <kmc> :D
20:17:24 <tailcalled> whoops, just realized that I didn't specify that I meant infinite stream
20:17:24 <tailcalled> derp
20:17:32 <Bike> no, i got that.
20:17:49 <tailcalled> ah, ok
20:18:04 <Bike> i mean i'm sure we all know that finite sequences are all computable.
20:18:08 <tromp_> stream implies infinite. otherwise you'd have said string
20:18:12 <tailcalled> yeah
20:18:12 <Bike> also that.
20:18:16 <tailcalled> exactly
20:18:22 <tailcalled> but sometimes streams are finite
20:18:23 <kmc> tailcalled: if I write down a table for f(0), f(1), etc. and flip an ideal coin for each output, the resulting function is uncomputable, and useless
20:18:51 <tromp_> stream is incompressible means all its prefixes are incompressible up to a constant
20:18:54 <tailcalled> kmc: I would prefer a unique characterization
20:18:55 <kmc> I can implement queries to this oracle in finite time, too
20:19:06 <kmc> it's interesting to think about why this doesn't violate the church-turing thesis
20:19:45 <tailcalled> kmc: because there is a positive probability of any given prefix, including zeroes
20:20:09 <tromp_> although streams are incompressible with probability 1, there's only one known family of such streams, namely the halting probabilities
20:20:23 <tailcalled> tromp_: is that so?
20:20:43 <FireFly> "this is the kind of book that literally sticks open problems in its exercises" hehe..
20:21:11 <Bike> yeah, it's fun. like taocp or... ok i'm blanking
20:21:19 <Bike> it actually uses the system from taocp, i think.
20:21:19 <tromp_> i think so. i don't know how else to define a stream that is provably nicompressible
20:22:00 <tailcalled> tromp_: are there no uncomputable problems that are easier than the halting problem?
20:22:25 <tromp_> easier in what sense?
20:22:47 <kmc> easier in that an oracle for the problem doesn't give you a halting oracle?
20:22:55 <tailcalled> having an oracle for them does not give you halting, yes.
20:23:16 <tromp_> that's not what i'd call easier
20:23:20 <tailcalled> I wonder about BusyBeaver(x)%2
20:23:28 <Bike> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_degree, yes?
20:23:28 <tailcalled> tromp_: what would you call easier?
20:23:40 <kmc> well it's in general a partial order
20:23:58 <Bike> yeah, there are infinite degrees between 0 and 0', or whatever
20:24:04 <Bike> and they're only pordered
20:24:06 <tromp_> i can't think of a well defined class in between recursive and recursively enumerable
20:24:10 <tailcalled> partial shmartial
20:25:06 <tailcalled> it feels like there should be such a class
20:25:28 <tromp_> a random stream doesnt give you a halting oracle
20:25:38 <tromp_> surely that cant be called easier:(
20:25:49 <Bike> i feel like introducing stochasticity is just going to confuse things. or perhaps only confuse me.
20:25:54 <tailcalled> tromp_: can you give me an example of a random stream which doesn't give the halting oracle? ;)

20:26:26 <tailcalled> I meant a full example :P

20:27:31 <Bike> kmc: oh, i should also mention the book is pretty esolangy and constructive. they spend a lot of time setting up an explicit turing machine encoding (prefix-free of SKI) and making bitmaps of programs and shit
20:27:48 <tromp_> of course i cannot explicitly define one that's provably so
20:28:08 <tromp_> but i claim that with prob. 1 a random one has that property
20:28:36 <tailcalled> well, can you prove that?
20:28:50 <tailcalled> anyway, I would prefer not doing random stuff
20:29:04 <tromp_> not without doing some literature search
20:29:42 <tromp_> Bike, that's what i contributed to the book before i invented blc
20:29:52 <tromp_> i was still dablling with combinatory logic then
20:30:45 <tromp_> Paul Vitanyi was my supervisor btw
20:31:00 <tailcalled> I wonder if one can exploit rice's theorem in this...
20:31:46 <tailcalled> probably not...
20:35:32 <tailcalled> actually, maybe one could use uncomputable functions to make a unusable uncomputable function
20:35:50 <tailcalled> i.e. let H be the halting function and BB be busy beaver
20:36:01 <tailcalled> and G be graham's number, for good measure
20:36:26 <tailcalled> would x -> H(BB(BB(BB(x+G)))) be useful? :P
20:36:38 <tromp_> my proposal for one would be the xor of two halting probabilities
20:36:42 <tailcalled> welp, derp
20:36:47 <tromp_> eg one for blc with one for bf
20:36:58 <tailcalled> or no, it works fine, mine, that is
20:37:04 <tailcalled> thought I realized a mistake
20:37:35 <tailcalled> but that seems unusable to me
20:37:40 <tromp_> that's well defined and almost certainly uncomputable and useless:)
20:37:51 <tailcalled> :D
20:38:53 <tailcalled> hmm
20:38:53 <tromp_> alternatively you could take the halting probability of the universal BLC machine equipped with a halting oracle
20:38:59 -!- MindlessDrone has quit (Quit: MindlessDrone).
20:39:15 <tailcalled> it's not immediately obvious how to prove my function is uncomputable
20:39:35 <tromp_> ie. the next level halting prob
20:40:02 <tailcalled> so, basically, making unusable uncomputable functions by increasing the uncomputability
20:40:02 <tailcalled> :D
20:40:29 <tailcalled> actually
20:40:34 <tailcalled> I don't think yours would work
20:40:40 <tromp_> yes, that's why i objected to calling such things easy
20:41:21 <tailcalled> well, it's easy because it can be faked
20:41:31 <tailcalled> well, it can't
20:41:38 <tailcalled> well, the hard ones can
20:42:07 <tailcalled> so the hard easy problems are easy because they are fakable; the easy easy problems are easy because they are easier than halting
20:42:37 <tailcalled> but couldn't one compute ordinary halting probability from BLC+HO halting probability?
20:42:41 <mroman_> I get the feeling my ISP is making my internet connection slower after 10 o'clock
20:43:31 <mroman_> muuuuuuch slower
20:43:38 <tailcalled> "yay"
20:43:40 <FireFly> Do some experiments with downloading big things over the 10 o'clock mark and observing the download speed?
20:43:54 <tromp_> no, tailcalled, you cannot simulate the oracle BLC computations that accumulate to that HO haltingprobability
20:44:05 <FireFly> Or alternatively read the user agreement for the ISP
20:44:08 <kmc> mroman_: you think it's deliberate, and not just that demand increases a lot?
20:44:23 <mroman_> kmc: Don't know.
20:44:25 <tailcalled> tromp_: but the halting probability is essentially the halting sequence
20:44:32 <mroman_> It's just that streaming movies is impossible after 10 o'clock
20:44:44 <tromp_> in the most compressed form
20:44:52 <tailcalled> tromp_: and there is a computable function that assigns LC terms to OBLC terms, right?
20:45:20 <tailcalled> with equivalent behaviour
20:45:49 <tromp_> the oracle could be a negative de bruijn index
20:46:31 <tromp_> or an extra argument
20:46:36 <tailcalled> sure
20:46:49 -!- Slereah has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds).
20:46:55 <tailcalled> but you could always take a normal LC term and convert it to an OBLC term by ignoring the oracle
20:47:12 <tromp_> sure; they're identical in the first case
20:47:12 <tailcalled> and the halting probability let's you check if a program halts, correct?
20:47:27 <tromp_> yes
20:47:56 <tailcalled> so let |x| denote the conversion of LC to OBLC, HOBLC the halting function for OBLC
20:48:06 <tailcalled> HLC(x) = HOBLC(|x|)
20:48:18 <tailcalled> where HLC is halting function for lambda calculus
20:48:47 <tailcalled> :/
20:49:00 <tailcalled> idea
20:49:10 <tailcalled> what if one took the busy beaver sequence
20:49:20 <tailcalled> but only makes it explorable in a limited way
20:49:29 <tailcalled> so essentially
20:49:37 <tailcalled> there's a counter C
20:50:03 <tailcalled> and a command B(x) which increments C and takes the xth bit of the Cth busy beaver number
20:50:08 <tromp_> yes, for halting functions, the HO case subsumes the plain case
20:50:17 <tromp_> but not for halting probabilities
20:50:49 <tromp_> so a BLC machine can extract the halting sequence from the halting probability
20:50:52 <tailcalled> didn't you agree that halting probabilities could be used to find the halting problem?
20:50:56 <tailcalled> *function
20:51:15 <tromp_> but you need an OBLC to do the same for oracle halting prob
20:51:21 <tailcalled> you... do?
20:51:42 <tailcalled> it's this halting prob. we're talking about, right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_probability
20:51:53 <tromp_> yes, since it involves doing infinitely many simulations accumulating probabilities
20:52:30 -!- Slereah_ has joined.
20:52:42 <mroman_> It's not fast enough to stream 40m of film in 40m
20:52:44 <tromp_> you should read Chaitin's papers on why Omega is "the number of wisdom"
20:52:57 <tailcalled> wait, how are you able to observe the halting probability? arbitrary approximation? bit-indexing? what is it?
20:53:09 <mroman_> if it takes longer than n minutes to download n minutes of film you can't stream it
20:53:17 <mroman_> that's sorta the streaming lemma
20:53:29 <tailcalled> actually, you can
20:53:38 <tailcalled> for example, if it takes n minutes + 1 second
20:53:40 <tromp_> it can be your input stream, or an oracle stream of bits
20:53:45 <tailcalled> you could download a tiny bit
20:54:13 <tromp_> you can define machine to compute from infinite input to infinite output
20:54:18 <tailcalled> and the distance between the part you've dl'ed to and the part you've watched to might not reach zero before the film is over
20:54:31 <mroman_> tailcalled: I know
20:54:48 <tailcalled> tromp_: but in that case
20:54:58 <mroman_> but currently it looks like it's 1.5*n
20:55:05 <tailcalled> tromp_: the halting probability is represented as a bit-sequence
20:55:17 <tromp_> yes, it is
20:55:38 <tromp_> i computed the first 4 bits for blc halting prob
20:55:41 <tailcalled> tromp_: and by the definition of how the halting probability is, the 1 bits are exactly where the codes for machines that halt are
20:55:51 <tromp_> no:(
20:56:11 <tailcalled> tromp_: yes they are?
20:56:22 <tailcalled> oh
20:56:23 <tailcalled> wait
20:56:26 <tailcalled> I see
20:56:29 <tromp_> a halting program of length k contributes 2^-k to the halting prob
20:56:37 <tailcalled> I didn't see the length part
20:56:39 <tailcalled> dero
20:56:40 <tailcalled> *derp
20:57:00 <tromp_> whereas in the halting seq it would be some bit at index roughly 2^k
20:57:35 <tailcalled> anyway, how about my alternative?
20:57:46 <tromp_> so halting prob is exponentially more dense than halting sequence
20:58:03 <tailcalled> :O I just had the best idea ever
20:58:04 <tromp_> what alternative?
20:58:07 <tailcalled> no, wait
20:58:11 <tailcalled> ._.
20:58:17 <tailcalled> anyway, my alternative
20:58:25 <tailcalled> there is an internal counter C
20:58:44 <tailcalled> and an operation B(x) which increments C and returns the xth bit of the Cth busy beaver number
20:58:58 <tailcalled> no way to reduce the value of C or anything
21:00:10 <tromp_> a little complex
21:00:25 <tromp_> how about every other bit of blc halting prob?

23:18:30 <oerjan> boily: i have a vague recall of my dad once making a fish pizza, back in the 80s. and possibly a brunost one, which is even more insane.
23:19:39 <boily> brunost. I don't know why, but that word inspires me uncharacteristicly high amounts of dread.
23:20:03 <oerjan> boily: i can see you have a well-developed intuition.
23:20:35 <oerjan> (actually i like it in moderate amounts, but then i'm a norwegian.  but it does _not_ go well with pizza.)
23:21:06 <boily> kmc: we have http://www.pizzapizza.ca/ and http://www.doublepizza.net/.

23:27:42 <boily> Sgeo, you know you want firefox. it's good for you, and it'll make you feel right.
23:30:16 <oerjan> Sgeo: clearly the right thing to do is to have an automatic script to change between browsers until your configuration reaches a periodic point.  that way you'll always be synced!

00:13:08 -!- tertu has quit (Client Quit).
00:13:34 <oerjan> first, if f undefined = undefined then clearly undefined is the least fixpoint, so fix f = undefined
00:13:44 <Bike> the yes was about traitors
00:13:49 <Bike> death to traitors
00:14:37 <oerjan> if f undefined is _not_ undefined, then undefined is not a fixpoint of f at all, so fix f is not undefined.
00:15:06 <oerjan> well fix f is not = undefined.
00:15:38 <oerjan> that fix f is actually defined as anything requires using CPO to prove there's always a least fixpoint.
00:15:58 <Bike> boring
00:16:38 <oerjan> and that probably involves using that limit of iterate f undefined as a lemma.

00:58:21 <kmc> oh I should ask my information theory question here
00:58:43 <boily> Four Years of Sanity.
00:58:53 <kmc> if you have an accurate model of the noise in a signal, can you insert encrypted messages into that signal in a way that's indistinguishable from more noise if you don't know the key?
00:59:07 <kmc> I think you can and that it would be kind of like spread spectrum CDMA, but I'm not sure
00:59:56 <copumpkin> I would expect so, but can't really justify it
00:59:58 <kmc> I was thinking about hiding data in digital TV transmissions by corrupting MPEG blocks in a way that looks like ordinary broadcast noise
01:00:14 <Bike> so, stenography?
01:00:19 <kmc> steganography
01:00:22 <boily> of course you can. we had a practical exam question once where we had to extract a signal from a post-modern waveform.
01:00:24 <Bike> right
01:00:26 <Bike> i hate that word
01:00:49 <kmc> you can definitely insert an "encrypted carrier" by modeling the noise process using, say, a stream cipher as your RNG
01:01:03 <kmc> and the receiver can sync to it by looking for correlations

01:01:47 <kmc> but you could at least do simple on-off-keying (where "off" = uncorrelated noise)

11:07:15 <oerjan> yes but it hurts the business model of doing things without a huge human staff.
11:07:26 <oerjan> mroman_: you realize that would have killed the internet, right?
11:08:15 <oerjan> search engines would have been _impossible_ to invent if it required positive action from those indexed.
11:08:43 <mroman_> I don't quiet agree with that.
11:09:03 <mroman_> webmasters could've registered their website for being indexed

11:09:43 <mroman_> and besides
11:09:50 <mroman_> they could still index webpages without your permission
11:10:01 <mroman_> because what you publish on your websites is usually considered "public"
11:10:33 <mroman_> what's really illegal is to put all the informtion pieces together to make statements about an individual person
11:10:36 <oerjan> well duh.
11:11:20 <oerjan> also, this is why robots.txt was invented.  he should have been going after the website which publicized him, not google...
11:11:41 <mroman_> yeah
11:11:59 <mroman_> but the law shouldn't work like that "unless you say no I'm just gonna do some illegal stuff"
11:12:15 <mroman_> at least not for privacy
11:12:20 <mroman_> that beats the whole point of privacy imo
11:13:10 <oerjan> yes but for historical reasons search engines _had_ to assume the absense of robots.txt meant consent.
11:13:12 <mroman_> theoretically google has to inform me once they received data about me from a third party
11:13:24 <mroman_> i.e. if someone else said something on some website about me

11:16:30 <oerjan> mroman_: so what you're saying is that an actually plausible working internet without having more than the population of earth employed to check everything is illegal in switzerland.  gotcha.
11:16:31 <mroman_> and you'd be safe from legal consequences
11:17:09 <mroman_> oerjan: I don't know what your definition of "plausible working internet" is
11:17:15 <mroman_> The internet still works without social media
11:18:13 <mroman_> You are not allowed to make a profile of a person with data you collected from third parties
11:18:24 <mroman_> that doesn't mean social medias are doomed to not exist
11:18:36 <mroman_> it just means that they are not allowed to analyze what people write
11:18:50 <Jafet> No, you are not allowed to. Other people are, because they are not swiss.
11:18:52 <mroman_> if they just "store" the information they are not creating a profile of my person
11:19:18 <mroman_> and
11:20:11 <mroman_> it still be possible to have social medias and stuff
11:20:48 <mroman_> they might not be free anymore, because they can't make money by shitting on privacy
11:21:13 <mroman_> so they probably have to earn money differently
11:21:22 <oerjan> hm
11:21:24 <Jafet> No, people will not use them and will use the ones that charge no money and shit on privacy.
11:21:36 <Jafet> Especially your privacy.
11:22:03 <mroman_> Jafet: probably
11:23:21 <mroman_> It's just that I don't really get people complaining about privacy
11:23:45 <mroman_> they complain about it but they still use the free social medias that don't conform to local laws

17:24:42 <mroman_> Why does Haskell not allow function overloading?
17:25:03 <mroman_> assuming types don't overlap like pu
17:25:18 <mroman_> foo :: a -> int -> double and bar :: int -> a -> double
17:25:22 <mroman_> that'd be tricky
17:25:43 <mroman_> currently I'm just picking the first variant I find that typechecks
17:26:20 <myname> well, what for? if it does the same thing but depends on certain properties, make a class
17:26:31 <myname> if it does different stuff, name it differently
17:27:05 <mroman_> Makes sense for Haskell @class
17:27:08 <mroman_> true
17:27:12 <mroman_> I don't have classes yet :D
17:28:10 <mroman_> I rely on overloading for now I guess
17:28:49 <mroman_> which means that somebody can break all existing pieces of code by defining
17:28:55 <mroman_> add :- A -> A
17:29:07 <mroman_> because that'd overload pretty much every add variant
17:29:09 <mroman_> or even worse
17:29:12 <mroman_> add :- ->
17:29:30 <mroman_> I should probably restrict that somehow in the future

17:45:56 -!- MoALTz has joined.
17:46:07 <Melvar> No they aren’t.
17:46:36 <Melvar> Vect’s, I suppose, is, but HVect.index uses Vect.index in its type.
17:46:44 <elliott> ok, if you parameterise over the index type too
17:46:55 <elliott> Melvar: what I mean is that you could make a class by tweaking Data.HVect.index's type.
17:47:33 <Melvar> A Stream is infinite and thus any Nat will do, which is not the case for any of the rest …
17:48:21 <elliott> I don't know Idris so this is some kind of frankenstein haskell: class Index seq where type Index seq; type At : Index seq -> Type; index : (idx : Index seq) -> seq -> At idx
17:48:31 <elliott> of course this is ugly. it supports Prelude.List.index too if you make Index a tuple
17:50:53 <Melvar> Doesn’t look like there’d be any chance of inferring things, even if it could be made to work.

19:43:56 <tromp_> wow; impressive, int-e!
19:44:39 <Bike> it's a quantum mechanics thing. not sure why it's named after gauss but what isn't

19:54:18 <int-e> tromp_: the encoding  data O = Zero | Succ O | Limit (Nat -> O)  is actually fairly standard, but I took a while to realize two things. First, there is the connection between the 'Limit' constructor and the fundamental sequence as used in the Hardy hierarchy. (The connection from there to the Goodstein sequence is made on Wikipedia). Secondly, doing arithmetic on that representation is actually just a copy of the paper...
19:54:24 <int-e> ...definition. (n + 0 = 0; n + (m + 1) = (n + m) + 1; n + (lim f) = lim (n + f), so that's easy (with some caveats, most notably that w (omega) has a "fundamental sequence" different from 1 + w in that representation. So one has to be careful there.)

19:55:09 <int-e> hah.
19:55:39 <kmc> shachaf: if you call a method  fn foo(&'t mut self) -> Bar<'t>  then 'self' is borrowed mutably for the duration of 't, regardless of how Bar uses its lifetime parameter
19:55:42 <kmc> v. unfortunate :/
19:56:43 <tromp_> int-e: it's hard to appreciate how much faster goodstein grows than the Ackerman-like g i define, which only takes 47 bits:(
19:58:44 <int-e> tromp_: btw your "g" appears here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast-growing_hierarchy#Definition
20:00:18 <int-e> tromp_: it's also noteworthy that most of the effort is spent on converting the input to its hereditary base 2 representation and the corresponding ordinal. from there to the result it's only 91 bits.
20:02:56 <tromp_> oh, that's so much nicer. should consider that ordinal the starting point then
20:07:24 <int-e> tromp_: That's not entirely fair though, because the ordinals encode the necessary recursive structure. Somewhere in the middel, we could start from the cantor normal form of the heriditary base representation (so just a binary tree, of type: data O = Zero | ExpWPlus O O, encoded as a fold), it's 384 bits.

Thus, the guest never drains his bowl; rather, it is constantly topped up.

In this way etiquette is observed and the host will not be offended."

23:24:29 <Sgeo> With OOP, if an object has several methods that do the same thing, how is a subclasser supposed to know which one to override to override the others? Is that expected to be part of documentation, or just reading the code?
23:25:36 <Bike> probably
23:27:12 <fowl> several methods that do the same thing -- code smell
23:27:51 <Sgeo> Seems to happen all the time in Smalltalk
23:27:57 <Bike> sgeo probably means similar-but-a-bit-different things, like a method that writes a description of the object to standard output vs. a method that writes a description of the object on the washington monument

23:28:42 <Sgeo> But the question also kind of extends to Java and actual issues I've encountered, where it seems non-obvious what the mimimal set of methods I need to override to prevent something from happening is
23:29:36 <oerjan> clearly you need to borrow Haskell's new MINIMAL pragma.

11:08:03 <oerjan> fiendish
11:08:28 <mroman_> "Can't match expected type `int' with `float' [add]"
11:09:02 <mroman_> the problem is it searches through every overloaded version of a function until it finds one that typechecks
11:09:11 <mroman_> but in the process of doing so it just prints error messages :D
11:09:22 <oerjan> i recommend changing that.
11:09:35 <mroman_> the first defined version of add is add :- int int -> int
11:09:52 <mroman_> oerjan: I will ;)
11:10:36 <mroman_> currently the problem is that you can't define the type of a function that should be somewhat polymorphic
11:10:46 <mroman_> i.e sum :: (Num a) => [a] -> a in Haskell
11:10:53 <mroman_> I don't have type classes
11:11:36 <mroman_> so sum :- A* -> A obviously doesn't type check when you use add in it
11:11:54 -!- edwardk has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
11:12:27 <mroman_> that' d produce "can't match expected type `int' with `A' [add]"
11:12:35 <oerjan> mroman_: now ponder what happens when you make a pointer to a polymorphic value hth
11:12:42 <mroman_> oerjan: I know
11:12:55 <mroman_> The solution I have in mind is to disable type checking for such functions
11:13:11 <mroman_> well
11:13:18 <mroman_> disable requiring a type signature to be precise
11:14:06 <mroman_> I can treat "sum" as "inlined"
11:14:11 <mroman_> and then infer the type myself
11:14:16 <oerjan> do you know about the ml value restriction twh
11:14:21 <mroman_> oerjan: no
11:14:30 <oerjan> that's ml's solution to that problem.
11:14:46 <oerjan> but it might not apply to a stack language.
11:15:09 <mroman_> i.e. since there's an add :- int int -> int and add :- float float -> float
11:15:23 <mroman_> the function foo := 5 5 add and foo := 5.0 5.0 add both will type check
11:15:37 <mroman_> however, what you currently can't do is define genericAdd := add
11:15:42 <oerjan> oh wait you were not talking about pointers to polymorphic values at all.
11:15:56 <mroman_> because that' require a type signature genericAdd :- ? stuff here ? genericAdd := add
11:16:42 <mroman_> oerjan: I just can't type check such functions "out of context"
11:17:00 <mroman_> I check each function individually if it corresponds to its type signature
11:17:13 <mroman_> and then I check the code together
11:17:49 <mroman_> genericAdd :- A A -> A; genericAdd = add; can't fullfil its type signature

11:21:44 <mroman_> http://codepad.org/W0OX9LoY <- that'd be my approach to solve it
11:22:31 <mroman_> It works
11:22:41 <mroman_> but you can't overload such functions anymore :)
11:23:23 <mroman_> (i.e you couldn't do stuff like genericAdd :: (Num a) => a -> a -> a and also have a genericAdd :: (Foobaz a) => a -> a -> a
11:23:26 <mroman_> )
11:23:53 <mroman_> which would be kinda weird anyway
11:23:54 <oerjan> also, that probably breaks recursion hth
11:25:25 <oerjan> (which i'm thinking because i'm vaguely recalling that _without_ recursion, the hindley-milner type system is simply equivalent to inlining everywhere.)

11:48:02 <mroman_> recursion?
11:48:04 <mroman_> hm. 
11:48:08 <mroman_> haven't tested that yet
11:49:51 <mroman_> well
11:50:02 <mroman_> fib :- int -> int; fib := dup fib swap fib add type checks at least
11:50:20 <oerjan> i meant with polymorphism.
11:50:20 <mroman_> even though that wouldn't calc fib
11:50:26 <mroman_> oerjan: hm
11:50:36 <mroman_> oerjan: true
11:50:45 <mroman_> maybe
11:50:48 <mroman_> let me check
11:51:43 <mroman_> :D
11:51:48 <mroman_> not if you inline it :D
11:53:36 <oerjan> hm, i suppose your method is also the way C++ templates do it.
11:53:47 <oerjan> so i guess inlining ought to work.
11:54:04 * oerjan doesn't _actually_ know C++ templates.
11:55:22 <mroman_> well mother @= parent female mother can't be inlined
11:55:31 <mroman_> that'd produce infinite amounts of code :)
11:55:35 <mroman_> also
11:55:48 <mroman_> bla :- A -> A A; bla := dup bla; can't be type checked so far
11:56:05 <mroman_> which makes sense
11:56:08 <mroman_> I mean...
11:56:12 <Melvar> “fib := 1 > if dec dup dec fib swap fib add then”?
11:56:18 <mroman_> probably
11:56:28 <mroman_> A -> A A means that after wards the top element has been duplicated
11:56:38 <mroman_> but bla := dup bla; wouldn't just duplicate it
11:56:44 <oerjan> mroman_: um surely bla := dup bla _shouldn't_ have the type A -> A A
11:57:05 <mroman_> oerjan: bla := dup bla looks like infinite type :D
11:57:11 <oerjan> yes.
12:17:34 <mroman_> recursion is indeed a problem :D
12:19:57 * oerjan puts on his "told you so" hat
12:20:02 <mroman_> well
12:20:06 <mroman_> it's a java stackoverflow
12:20:18 <mroman_> I think it will work if I mark it as "visited" after a recursion
12:20:30 <mroman_> it's a problem of my implementation
12:20:35 <oerjan> OKAY
12:20:35 <mroman_> not a problem of the type system I think
12:22:48 <mroman_> it still a little bit sucky though

13:04:19 <Melvar> Hm, both of those seem to work in gforth.
13:04:30 <Taneb> mroman_, nortti, would it be within ESOSC's remit to make a lambda calculus standard?
13:05:16 <mroman_> oerjan: A template based approach looks like it works
13:05:26 <mroman_> you define the function with generic arguments
13:05:32 <mroman_> and then you define one with conceret types
13:05:54 <nortti> Taneb: what would it do?
13:06:14 <mroman_> http://codepad.org/kmaam6fQ <_ You define the implementation first
13:06:30 <mroman_> and :: copies the implementation and sets a concrete type signature
13:06:56 <Taneb> nortti, just a standardized syntax and semantics for Lambda Calculus
13:07:11 <nortti> aren't those already?
13:08:01 <mroman_> Taneb: you mean "ascii" syntax?
13:08:30 <mroman_> i.e ^x.f x vs \x.f x vs whatever notation people use too
13:08:36 <Taneb> mroman_, I was thinking Unicode with an ascii fallback
13:09:04 <mroman_> isn't that kinda standardized to use the lambda symbol?
13:09:33 <mroman_> WP seems to use lambda at least
13:09:55 <mroman_> and untyped lambda calculus?
13:09:58 <mroman_> just to be clear?
13:10:59 <Taneb> U+03BB with 0x5C as fallback
13:11:04 <Taneb> Yes, untyped lambda calculus

18:52:55 <Bike> i love how shitty the ascii S in esme is.
19:09:10 <mroman_> a pretty bad character set
19:09:20 * impomatic was just looking at this: http://sdtimes.com/content/article.aspx?ArticleID=71233&page=1
19:09:27 <impomatic> "Fifteen toys, games and tools that teach programming"
19:09:27 <mroman_> seeing as it encodes the values of asci probably with 10times the space requirements
19:10:06 <mroman_> well
19:10:15 <mroman_> when I was 13 I also made esolangs like that
19:10:17 <mroman_> so...
19:13:00 <mroman_> nowadays I just make crappy languages and mark them as esoteric as a cover up
19:17:27 <mroman_> Is there a recent BASIC compiler for windows somewhere?
19:17:52 <mroman_> The *real* BASIC. Not some Basic Dialect that has actually nothing to do with Basic except that it doesn't use curly braces
19:18:27 <Bike> the basic that can be spoken of is not the true basic
19:19:01 <fizzie> But REALbasic is all object-oriented and all.
19:19:28 <fizzie> Oh, it's called Xojo now.
19:20:32 <nortti> hmm, I wonder what sort of esolang IMAGINARYbasic would be
19:21:17 <olsner> similar to imaginaryBASIC but the other way around?
19:21:42 <nortti> that exists?
19:22:12 <mroman_> oh well
19:22:17 <mroman_> I know Haskell
19:22:27 <mroman_> That means I can create all sorts of crazy BASIC dialects myself
19:23:14 <fizzie> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_BASIC_dialects   a long list
19:23:25 <mroman_> yeah
19:23:30 <mroman_> but it's missing CRAZYBASIC
19:24:31 <olsner> google seems to refuse to google for crazybasic
19:24:33 <fizzie> I don't think I've really used more than maybe four or five BASICs.
19:25:18 <mroman_> shouldn't be too hard to mock up a BASIC dialect and translate it to C
19:25:33 <mroman_> that could probably even be done just be preprocessor macros
19:26:04 <nortti> but that would just be ugly
19:26:11 <mroman_> maybe
19:26:38 <fizzie> There's a LLVM-based QBasic-wannabe, based on a quick googling.
19:26:55 <nortti> qbasic-wannabe?
19:27:15 <fizzie> As in, "tries to be QBasic-compatible", as far as I can tell.
19:27:24 <nortti> oh, right
19:27:35 <mroman_> Does it have line numbers?
19:28:12 <HackEgo> [wiki] [[Talk:@text]]  http://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=39528&oldid=39526 * GreyKnight * (+507) /* "programming language" */
19:28:15 <fizzie> I can't really tell, it's just a Github readme that I hit. It could be pretty vaporware.
19:28:26 <nortti> actually, doesn't freebasic also have qbasic-emulation mode?
19:28:40 <fizzie> E.g. there's a section heading titled "Implementation Detail", containing only "int/long is directly supported by LLVM, so , no discssiion needed."
19:28:49 <fizzie> Which might not count as a good sign.
19:29:14 <nortti> "discssiion"?
19:29:57 <fizzie> The FreeBASIC site claims "high level of support for programs written for QuickBASIC", and QBASIC is a QuickBASIC derivative, so I guess, in a sense.
19:30:55 -!- KingOfKarlsruhe has quit (Read error: Connection timed out).
19:31:32 <nortti> isn't qbasic actually a subset, not a derivative?
19:32:22 <fizzie> It's different. I'd guesstimate there's some inconsequential QBasic thing that does not exist as-is in QuickBASIC.
19:33:08 <fizzie> In fact, I have a vague feeling I knew of such a feature.
19:34:01 <fizzie> Perhaps some difference in the behaviour of CALL ABSOLUTE.
19:34:09 <olsner> I mostly remember that qbasic was crap compared to quickbasic
19:34:24 <fizzie> It's lacking the compiler and the linker, for one thing.
19:35:57 <fizzie> Based on some alt.lang.basic posts, I get the impression that QuickBASIC 5 adds a library called "QB" containing "some QBASIC functions/statements that are not part of QB4.5".
19:36:14 <fizzie> QuickBASIC 4.5 being the version QBasic was derived from.
19:36:46 <nortti> interesting
19:37:52 <fizzie> QuickBASIC, of course, has better ways to do the kind of things that you'd resort to CALL ABSOLUTE in QBasic for.
19:38:21 <nortti> I forget, what did call absolute do? call dos funcs?
19:38:40 <fizzie> "Transfers control to a machine-language procedure."
19:38:43 <fizzie> http://gamma.zem.fi/~fis/qbc.html#QEw4MDhh
19:39:13 <fizzie> The example given there (DATA + loop with a POKE + CALL ABSOLUTE) is very typical.
19:39:19 <nortti> ah
19:40:07 <olsner> %, is that the suffix for integer variables?
19:40:16 <fizzie> Yes.
19:40:58 <fizzie> % for integer, & for long, $ for string, ! and # for single- and double-precision floats.
19:41:39 <fizzie> It's a bit of a shame that there was something in the QuickBASIC 4.5 manuals that my conversion script (that generated the qbc.html) choked on. (They use mostly the same file format.)
19:41:49 <olsner> it's nice how "print screen" is a three byte sequence of assembly, I doubt you can do that in three bytes today
19:44:46 <fizzie> Also I think the sigils are optional in QBasic, in the sense that you can "DIM x AS type-keyword" to get an undecorated variable name.
19:46:17 <fizzie> It's got user-defined types, too. (And optional line numbers.)
19:46:57 <kmc> where does CALL ABSOLUTE put the "arguments"
19:48:10 <kmc> probably the C calling convention
19:48:12 <fizzie> On the stack, I believe.
19:48:24 <kmc> i'm glad that now I know how to write a JIT compiler in QBasic
19:48:36 <fizzie> The "C calling convetion" is a rather flexible term for x86-16 DOS.
19:51:11 -!- mhi^ has joined.
19:52:06 <kmc> well, let's say the Microsoft one ;)
19:52:16 <kmc> "not so much a convention as a suggestion"
19:52:32 <fizzie> There was a nice overview somewhere, but I can never re-find it when I want.
19:56:43 <fizzie> Also some random ASM-in-QBasic tutorial suggests a callee-cleans-the-stack ("Pascal") convention.
19:57:25 <fizzie> Or at least has a "retf 6" in an example called as  Call Absolute (BYVAL x%, BYVAL y%, BYVAL color%, SADD(program$))
19:59:56 <fizzie> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/51501/EN "DECLARE FUNCTION <name> [ALIAS "aliasname"][CDECL][<parameter-list>] -- Basic's calling convention pushes parameters onto the stack in the order in which they appear in the source code. -- This convention also specifies that the stack is restored by the called routine just before returning control to the caller."
20:00:43 <fizzie> Apparently in real QuickBasic you can do either, while QBasic CALL ABSOLUTE only does the one.
20:01:29 <fizzie> Though it's not like you could link in any C libraries either.
20:04:08 <kmc> sadd program
20:04:23 <kmc> why can't you link C libraries with QuickBasic?
20:05:15 <olsner> it's in qbasic you can't, because it doesn't have the compiler and linker
20:05:35 <fizzie> Right.
20:05:51 <fizzie> (The SADD keyword is QuickBasic-only, also.)

20:06:36 <fizzie> Speaking of sad acronyms, here's one from the recent conference.

20:07:13 <Bike> haha, what
20:07:58 <kmc> olsner: you could probably write your own dynamic loader without too much trouble
20:08:12 <fizzie> SADD has something to do with the offset of a variable (in terms of VARSEG), but I'm not sure how it's different from VARPTR.
20:08:14 <olsner> yes, probably
20:08:57 <kmc> also the doc example looks at VARSEG but doesn't use it?
20:08:57 -!- tertu has joined.
20:09:14 <fizzie> The DEF SEG is "using it".
20:09:54 <fizzie> "DEF SEG [=address] -- Sets the current segment address. -- A segment address used by BLOAD, BSAVE, CALL ABSOLUTE, PEEK, or POKE; --"
20:10:19 <Bike> golly, this takes me back. qbasic was the first language i pretended to learn
20:10:34 <kmc> ah
20:10:38 <kmc> yay for global variables

20:13:19 <olsner> I started out in quickbasic 4.5, I remember the compiler was great at making bikes and other silly patterns appear on the screen faster
20:14:28 * impomatic still uses FreeBASIC occasionally.
20:14:55 <fizzie> Making Bikes appear faster.
20:19:28 <fizzie> I used a little bit of TI-BASIC, which was great at making silly patterns appear on the screen slower.
20:21:27 <Bike> indeed.
20:21:52 <olsner> Bike: you were quite slow to appear now, would you mind compiling yourself?
20:22:20 <Bike> trying to learn grafix later was confusing, i was like "whoa i can't toggle pixels??"
20:24:00 <pdxleif> I wrote the UI for a chess program in TI-BASIC

20:42:50 <kmc> doesn't befunge sort of have them?
20:43:27 <myname> how?
20:43:29 <fowl> a function is just a route you put the IP on
20:43:58 <fowl> SNUSP has them
20:55:14 <fizzie> Funge-98 with SUBR has them.
20:55:56 <fizzie> Also some ad-hoc "Befunge with functions" things.
20:56:40 <fizzie> Oh, and Funciton possibly counts as two-dimensional too, and has functions.
20:58:01 <fizzie> And Recurse.
20:58:06 <myname> funciton looks awesome
20:59:25 <fizzie> fungot has a couple of "functions" in the "code flow comes in from multiple sources, and returns based on an integer index pushed before the 'call'" sense.
20:59:25 <fungot> fizzie: games due out november i think

04:06:16 <zzo38> I have partially made up some new kind of programming language by writing it on a paper. One example code can be:   [z/a,b] cut ([x] z (left x) (right x)) ([x] split x ([y] init y b) ([y] init a y))   Let's see if you know this one.

04:06:32 <kmc> hi zzo38 
04:08:11 <zzo38> Can you figure out what this program does?
04:08:28 <Bike> it prints "hello world" to standard output
04:08:34 <zzo38> No
04:08:48 <Bike> I just ran it and that's what it does.
04:09:03 <zzo38> (In fact, it is not a complete program; that is what the [z/ at the front means.)
04:09:16 <kmc> Bike: what if it's undefined behavior
04:09:36 <Bike> zzo doesn't seem like the type to leave things underdefined

04:13:16 <zzo38> Sign conversion is one
04:21:54 <zzo38> I can give a hint relating to this programming language, which is: There aren't any first-class functions, although it does have first-class continuations.
04:22:14 <zzo38> Also, there is no syntax for continuations because it is implicit.
04:24:15 <fowl> guess what this program does <:@#:#$@<<@>$@@
04:24:32 <fowl> its a language i made up and there is no information available on it, but guess what it does
04:25:09 <zzo38> Is it copying input to output, or reversing the input, or something like that?
04:25:14 <zzo38> Do you have a hint?
04:25:24 <fowl> it does nothing because < is a comment
04:25:32 <zzo38> O, OK

04:36:22 <zzo38> I can tell you what mine is meaning too. If you have two types called X and Y, and a program that would receive a continuation accepting a Y and returns a continuation accepting a X, then this program will receive X and result in Y.

04:46:48 <zzo38> Why do many computer pinball games activate tilt if you bump the table too often, and some do it differently (such as not activating tilt at all (as in Pokemon Pinball), or if you hold down the bump button for too long (as in Microsoft Space Cadet Pinball))?
04:47:17 <zzo38> Is it possible to make number theory out of linear logic?
04:48:26 <fowl> zzo38, in actual pinball machines the tilt sensor is a weight that connects when you shake the machine
04:48:36 <zzo38> fowl: I know.
04:49:09 <zzo38> It is to avoid bumping it too hard, not too often.
04:49:36 <Bike> are these questions related
04:49:44 <zzo38> No they are two different questions
04:50:13 <fowl> zzo38, the diff is probably that in a computer pinball game you're playing with keys which are 1 or 0, opposed to moving a machine which you would have a lot of control over how much you shake it
04:50:15 <Bike> no point then
04:50:28 <zzo38> fowl: I know that
04:50:43 <zzo38> (Well, if you use Wii remotes or whatever, then you could control how much)
04:50:47 <fowl> so.. you cant hit the bump key hard or soft
04:51:50 <zzo38> But if using the keyboard, even then activating tilt simply if you bump the table too often doesn't seems works; you could decrease the strength of it in the program, or do how Microsoft did and make it harder if you hold down the keys too long
04:52:28 <fowl> i dunno, i think hitting a key multiple times is similar to shaking the machine hard as opposed to softly
04:52:46 <fowl> microsofts way makes sense too
04:53:09 <zzo38> Maybe, although the implementation doesn't generally actually make it harder when pushing the key many times in succession
04:53:35 <fowl> no but you're still trying to map digital inputs to analog behavior
04:54:05 <fowl> so its not gonna be prefect
04:54:09 <fowl> perfcet
04:55:07 <Bike> microsoft pinball is otherwise very rigorous.
04:56:07 <zzo38> I still don't like the most common way (pushing the key many times in succession), mainly because I like to bump the table a lot
04:57:19 <zzo38> So when playing Microsoft's implementation, I push the keys as if it is on fire (an analogy I read in a book about mechanical typewriters)
05:06:54 <fizzie> Do pinball games on mobile devices use the accelerometer for tilt detection?

06:02:10 <Bike> yeah that sounds like dog porn
06:02:23 <ehayes> zzo38: tor bundled a browser to aid users get online more easily
06:02:36 <elliott> you'd better have a really good explanation for this, ehayes.
06:02:40 <ehayes> zzo38: it isn't mandatory, but it is convenient
06:03:59 <elliott> like, how many channels have you linked this in? do you realise it's against freenode guidelines? admittedly, I am only tempted to whine to #freenode because it was such a disappointment.
06:04:48 <ehayes> elliott: just #esoteric and #tor
06:04:56 <ehayes> because it is tor related, and esoteric
06:04:57 <zzo38> Yes, it is helpful if you are trying to access webpages on Tor even though you do not already have a web browser program, I suppose, but howelse?
06:05:20 <zzo38> I prefer a printed book anyways
06:05:23 <shachaf> The topic of this channel is esoteric programming languages.
06:05:25 <elliott> what on earth is esoteric about a warez site with exactly one random crappy scifi ebook
06:05:51 <Bike> it's tor related in much the same way it is internet related, so go bother ICANN
06:05:59 <ehayes> elliott: the fact that there is only one makes it highly suspect
06:06:11 <elliott> is this an ARG

12:47:50 <oerjan> zzo38: iirc linear logic is TC to check theorems, so in some sense you can embed any computation you want in it...
12:47:52 <fizzie> Those night-gaunts, they're always pouncing.
12:50:06 <zzo38> oerjan: Can you explain how?
12:51:02 <oerjan> no, i've never read the proof, but there is a claim that it's undecidable (which usually means TC) is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_logic#Decidability.2Fcomplexity_of_entailment
12:52:01 <oerjan> i recall reading the proof that constructive logic is PSPACE-complete, though
12:52:44 <ais523_> intersection types are undecidable, in that you can find an intersection type for a term if and only if it always terminates
12:52:57 <ais523_> which is something like the easiest undecidability proof ever
12:53:16 <ais523_> most cut-down linear logics are decidable, though
12:53:27 <ais523_> actually my PhD thesis is about that, sort of
12:53:37 <ais523_> just last week I did a decidability proof for SCC
13:00:48 -!- Patashu_ has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds).
13:01:06 <oerjan> what is SCC
13:03:07 <ais523_> it's a type system with bounded contraction
13:03:23 <ais523_> so basically, the LHS of each arrow, and the free variables, have a "number of uses" annotation
13:03:35 <ais523_> a type would be something like (int^4->int)
13:03:44 <ais523_> and in order to do contraction, you have to add the numbers
13:03:59 <ais523_> "syntactic control of concurrency" if you want a search term
13:04:17 <ais523_> oh gah, UNIX time is at 1400 million already?
13:04:30 <ais523_> I remember when it was at 1234567890, and I was scared at what a big number it was already
13:05:15 <oerjan> so it's like a bounded version of ! in linear logic? which you can desugar into & and x i think.
13:07:20 <ais523_> oerjan: yeah, pretty much exactly that
13:07:30 <ais523_> in fact, that's "bounded linear logic" you're describing
13:07:41 <ais523_> SCC is similar to BLL, or rather, it's more a weird subset of it
13:07:51 <ais523_> because the products allow unlimited contraction of both sides, and nothing else does
13:08:11 <int-e> `date +%s
13:08:12 <HackEgo> 1400245665
13:08:15 <ais523_> I was chatting to a bunch of linear logicians about it, and they all said pretty much the same thing, "but the function arrow isn't the adjoint of the product"
13:08:16 <oerjan> huh
13:08:30 <ais523_> and it turns out that that property makes it awkward to use in practice
13:08:46 <ais523_> anyway, this was the state of the art in the field before I entered it, now my thesis is talking about how it has problems and you can probably do better

13:15:19 <oerjan> i found that constructive logic proof intriguing because afair it essentially amounts to using the kripke world semantic for -> to compute things in parallel in subworlds.

13:19:16 <HackEgo> Sun Sep  9 01:46:40 UTC 2001
13:19:18 <zzo38> What is a kripke world semantic for -> ?
13:20:42 <oerjan> zzo38: well first you have a partially ordered set of worlds, each of which assigns true or false to each propositional value in your term, and such that the value can only change from false to true if you go to a "later" world.
13:21:22 <fizzie> `run date --date=@$(dc -e '2 30^p')
13:21:23 <HackEgo> Sat Jan 10 13:37:04 UTC 2004
13:21:38 <oerjan> then you define a -> b to be false in a world if there is any later world (including the world itself) in which a is true and b is false; and a -> b to be true otherwise.
13:22:01 <fizzie> http://codu.org/logs/log/_esoteric/2004-01-10   well
13:23:11 <oerjan> and then you can show a term is a tautology iff it's assigned true in all kripke semantic worlds.
13:24:24 <oerjan> (there are similar definitions for other connectives; and/or work like the usual truth table in each world, while not a = a -> False)
13:24:51 <oerjan> but you only need -> for the full PSPACE-completeness
13:25:11 <oerjan> oops
13:25:22 <oerjan> *each propositional variable
13:26:01 <oerjan> this semantics is quite convenient if you want to show a term is _not_ a tautology.
13:27:17 <oerjan> like to show a or (not a) isn't a tautology, you just need two worls; the first one assigns False to a and the second assigns True, which makes both a and not a False in the first world.
13:27:33 <oerjan> *+d
13:28:49 <Jafet> a and not a, and not a or not a?
13:29:21 <ais523_> Jafet: this is intuionistic logic, where "a or not a" is not always true
13:29:50 <ais523_> the "main" tautology is "f(not not a) is equivalent to not not f(a)"
13:30:27 <int-e> not not not a iff not a
13:30:50 <int-e> @djinn (((a -> r) -> r) -> r) -> a -> r
13:30:50 <lambdabot> f a b = a (\ c -> c b)
13:31:24 <int-e> @djinn (a -> r) -> ((a -> r) -> r) -> r
13:31:24 <lambdabot> f a b = b a
13:31:59 <oerjan> one interesting fact here is that not a is true in a world if it's true in all "final" worlds (assuming a finite set of worlds, which is enough for a finite set of variables), and in final worlds everything behaves classically, from which you get immediately the theorem that not a is an intuitionistic tautology iff it is a classical one.
13:32:16 <oerjan> *iff it's true

14:03:36 <Melvar> Okay.
14:03:38 <int-e> for example, (\c -> a c c) (b (\d -> a d d))  would be a shorter proof.

14:26:54 <edwardk> mroman: http://www.indiegamejam.com/igj0/ ;)
14:27:02 <ais523_> ah right, FalseElim is the implementation of absurd for bottom?
14:27:59 <edwardk> if someone sent me an issue for the void package to add an Uninhabited class I could be talked into it very easily
14:29:01 <ais523_> what's the benefit of having more than one uninhabited type?
14:29:10 <ais523_> also, how do you type shift-home on a 96-key AZERTY keyboard?
14:29:20 <ais523_> I figured out home by itself, it's numpad 7 with numlock turned off
14:29:25 <ais523_> but shifting it just produces a 7

14:30:15 <Melvar> ( :doc uninhabited
14:30:16 <idris-bot> uninhabited : Uninhabited t => t -> _|_
14:30:16 <idris-bot>     If I have a t, I've had a contradiction
14:30:47 <Melvar> Then absurd is just (FalseElim . uninhabited).
14:31:21 <ais523_> ah right
14:31:24 <Melvar> Empty types include (Fin 0) and (Z = S Z).
14:31:33 <ais523_> oh, ofc, dependent typing
14:31:38 <ais523_> I was thinking, more in terms of Haskell
14:31:54 <Jafet> ais523: to unify all the incompatible empty type packages, obviously
14:32:37 <Melvar> And (Elem x []) for arbitrary x, for example.
14:32:52 <Melvar> And (so False).
14:33:09 <ais523_> yeah, it's obvious why it's useful in dependent typing
14:35:36 <Jafet> Actually, I'm not sure how an Uninhabited class would work
14:35:53 <Jafet> forall a u. Uninhabited u => u -> a
14:36:03 <Melvar> It has the method uninhabited as above.
14:38:14 <Jafet> Yeah it's obvious for dependent typing
14:39:06 <ais523_> @djinn Void -> a
14:39:06 <lambdabot> f = void
14:39:31 <Melvar> It’s obvious with a canonical uninhabited type, which is what _|_ is.
14:53:09 <edwardk> ais523_: data V1 a; newtype Void = Void Void; Sum V1 V1; Product V1 f, etc. are all uninhabited
14:53:55 <edwardk> but expressing that properly is tricky
14:54:11 <edwardk> you want to let a product be uninhabited when either side of it is
14:54:27 <ais523_> right
14:54:57 <edwardk> you should be able to concoct an UninhabitedOr and UninhabitedAnd that combines them correctly
14:55:12 <edwardk> and/or define  version with GHC.Generics

14:56:23 <edwardk> With a lazy type nat you could check for  -- type Uninhabited a = MaxInhabitants 0 a
14:56:35 <edwardk> using lazy nat addition
14:56:35 <oerjan> fqncy
14:57:09 <edwardk> but we only need inhabited or not decidably, with the right boolean functions
14:57:17 <Melvar> I have a Finite typeclass.
14:57:40 <ais523_> phew, just managed to change it back, somehow

17:14:43 <ais523_> it would probably be easier to do your connections from outside SQLite, though, rather than inside
17:20:12 <zzo38> Yes possibly, although I would want to do it from an extension too; for one thing it mean that you can use it to extend application databases even if the application program isn't using internet (for example, to cause all writes to a specific table to be automatically copied to a server), but can also be used with stand-aline SQLite shell programming too.

17:20:46 <zzo38> I could not quite understand the programming of internet connection in C very well though, so I wanted to know if it already exist.

17:26:03 <mroman> instead of Integer.parseInteger
17:26:25 <zzo38> ais523_: What do you use it for?

17:27:29 <zzo38> What other programs?
17:27:34 <ais523_> I can't remember
17:27:38 <ais523_> it was a while ago
17:28:12 <zzo38> It is certainly useful for that. You could also modify the databases that are created by other programs too, if there is a use to do so.
17:29:35 <zzo38> For example if you want to add triggers, views, columns, and so on, or just if you want to adjust the data it contains.

19:04:13 <impomatic> Are there any CSS geeks here?  I was wondering if there's a sneaky way to modify the content with CSS. E.g. my <h1> contains "xxxxx: yyyyyyy" and I want to remove the "xxxxx:" without any extra markup.
19:04:27 <impomatic> If I ask in #css they'll just tell me css isn't for content
19:06:17 <ais523_> impomatic: do you happen to have control over the styling but not the content, for some reason?
19:06:21 <ais523_> there is definitely a way to add content
19:06:28 <ais523_> but I'm not sure about removing it
19:07:38 <zzo38> impomatic: I do not think that is possible, but I don't know for sure.
19:09:55 <impomatic> I can hide the original and add replacement content using h1::after (content: );
19:11:05 <ais523_> you could do something like add an element before it, place the prefix after that new element, in the same font and styling
19:11:09 <ais523_> but set the foreground equal to the background
19:11:12 <impomatic> The problem is I want the replacement content to be a substring of the original. (It's for a print style sheet)
19:11:14 <ais523_> thus overwriting it
19:11:39 <ais523_> that sounds like the sort of thing that could easily go wrong, though
19:12:09 <zzo38> impomatic: I would think you should then make that text another part and then make the CSS to hide it if it is a printout?
19:12:25 <impomatic> If I knew the exact width of the characters, I could probably do margin: -100px or something.
19:14:33 <impomatic> zzo38: enclose the "xxxxx:" in a <span>?  I was hoping to avoid that, otherwise I'll have to edit 500+ files by hand!
19:15:04 <int-e> sed?!
19:15:17 <zzo38> Don't do it by hand; use another program such as AWK or sed.
19:15:52 <impomatic> I suppose I ought to install AWK :-)

20:16:36 <elliott> which isn't thaaaaat bad?
20:16:49 <zzo38> myname: Why?
20:17:05 <ais523_> $90 to back up 1MB? that's not really that good a deal
20:17:27 <myname> zzo38: on one side, you have really great ideas, but on the other side, you have really strange ideas
20:17:45 <elliott> ais523_: it buys you an /awful lot/ of backups of your data
20:17:59 <elliott> ais523_: and many people have a strong financial incentive to keep those backups
20:18:32 <ais523_> yes, it's a very reliable backup, assuming that the blockchain doesn't collapse, and that people don't come up with some way to purge text from it (say, to get rid of virus signatures)
20:18:54 <elliott> changing the past of the blockchain is kind of difficult...
20:19:07 <zzo38> Insane people have the best ideas. Sometimes.
20:19:17 <elliott> afaik, the hashes are chained, a la git
20:19:46 <ais523_> you can get everyone to agree that a particular hash was part of the blockchain
20:19:53 <ais523_> and record the state of everything at that moment
20:20:01 <ais523_> and then just work from that new, truncated-behind blockchain
20:20:08 <elliott> yes, of course
20:20:11 <ais523_> it'd be awkward, but perhaps necessary if the blockchain grows faster than disks do
20:20:21 <myname> zzo38: i think that's what i was trying to say
20:20:34 <elliott> "end-users" aren't going to store the blockchain, anyway
20:20:48 <ais523_> unless they need to know how many bitcoins someone has
20:20:59 <ais523_> or whether a transaction was confirmed
20:21:02 <ais523_> both of which are kind-of important
20:21:18 <elliott> people are going to use light-weight clients or delegate their trust to another entity which has the blockchain
20:21:22 <elliott> in fact, they already do.
20:21:45 <elliott> the blockchain is already huge; nobody who gets into bitcoin today who isn't really paranoid is using the "official" client

20:35:44 <ais523_> you could use a visibility:hidden element in order to assess the text size
20:37:03 <impomatic> It's possible to position "Core War:" in a white font exactly over the bit I want to hide, but unfortunately white prints as light grey.

20:45:34 <kmc> since those are more like proper XML syntaxes that are awkwardly embedded inside HTML5
20:46:42 <Taneb> I am going to have a fun June
20:46:48 <mroman> I'm waiting for Web 3.0 - the emotional web 
20:46:59 <mroman> with tags like <sad> and <irony> and <fuckyou> 
20:47:15 <Bike> @google emotionml
20:47:16 <lambdabot> http://www.w3.org/TR/emotionml/
20:47:17 <lambdabot> Title: Emotion Markup Language (EmotionML) 1.0
20:47:26 <Bike> welcome to the future, mroman 
20:47:36 <kmc> '↪ An end tag whose tag name is "sarcasm": Take a deep breath, then act as described in the "any other end tag" entry below.'
20:47:41 <mroman> wtf
20:47:48 <mroman> somebody seriously did that already
20:48:00 <Bike> ur welcome
20:48:02 <kmc> Taneb: oh?
20:48:12 <kmc> good kind of fun or bad kind?
20:48:17 <Taneb> Busy kind.
20:48:54 <mroman> what the hell
20:49:00 <Taneb> Last exam is on the 3rd. Dad's birthday on the 4th, going home for that. 13th I'm going down to London for the day. 21st-22nd I'm at an anime con
20:49:06 <mroman> <action-tendency name="charge-battery" value="0.9"/>
20:50:13 <Taneb> All the meanwhile I should be working on GSoC
20:50:27 <kmc> what's your GSoC project?
20:50:34 <Taneb> Debugger for GHCJS
20:50:39 <kmc> nice
20:50:51 <shachaf> kmc: so complicated
20:51:16 <mroman> <emotion <category name
20:51:20 <mroman> damn
20:51:24 <mroman> I pressed enter to soon
20:51:51 <mroman> well anyway... I wanted to state that I think a debugger for ghcjs is a good thing with EmotionML
20:52:09 <mroman> <category name="fondness" value="0.832091"/>
20:53:54 <kmc> <category name="badness" value="10000"/>
20:54:27 <kmc> whoops just poured salt all over my sofa
20:55:05 <mroman> that's not EmitionML recommendation conform
20:55:19 <mroman> it clearly says value must be within 0..1
20:55:26 <Taneb> Do you know whether anyone applied for a GSoC to do work on/with Rust?
20:58:55 <kmc> i think so, but I'm not positive
20:59:08 <kmc> mozilla has a lot of interns working on Rust and Servo, as well
20:59:47 <mroman> Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents almost all crashes*, and eliminates data races. 
21:00:49 <kmc> "* In theory. Rust is a work-in-progress and may do anything it likes up to and including eating your laundry."
21:00:53 <zzo38> How exactly will you be able to use the terminal to change the POWER setting if it is not already set? (Refering to VT100 terminal)
21:00:57 <mroman> Would you rather recommend Rust or Go?
21:01:10 <ais523_> Rust
21:01:11 <kmc> mroman: they're really very different languages
21:01:20 <mroman> I'm looking for a new "awesome" language and so far Go is pretty high up the list
21:01:30 <mroman> Go and Clojures
21:01:30 <kmc> Go has shared-memory concurrency with garbage collection; it's designed for writing high throughput network servers
21:01:34 <ais523_> but yeah, they're not really competing except in as much as they're new systems programming languages made by web browser manufacturers
21:01:35 <fowl> go's runtime generics are disgusting
21:01:36 <kmc> but not anything realtime or low latency
21:01:49 <kmc> Rust has a far more interesting memory management story
21:01:53 <kmc> which enables GC-less operation
21:01:57 <fowl> mroman, nimrod
21:02:04 <zzo38> New "awesome" language isn't good enough, I would think? You should need other criteria to know what you want?
21:02:08 <kmc> it's designed for writing low-latency software like web browsers, kernels, games, high-frequency trading strategies, etc.
21:02:23 <kmc> can run on bare metal, etc
21:02:37 <ais523_> Rust's basically an attempt to make a crash-free C, whereas Go is an attempt to make a lower-level Erlang
21:02:47 <kmc> it's also designed by people who actually know programming languages theory and don't consider it a bad thing
21:03:14 <zzo38> I happen to like C and BLISS, although BLISS is hardly ever used anymore and there is no GNU BLISS compiler that I know of.
21:04:14 <Taneb> I ought to write more Rust
21:04:17 -!- mhi^ has quit (Quit: Lost terminal).
21:04:41 <zzo38> Write down the kind of thing you intend to have, and then see what program language has it, whether it is C, BLISS, Rust, Go, SQL, Perl, or QBASIC.
21:05:04 <kmc> mroman: if you're asking which language is more interesting, it's Rust for sure
21:05:10 <kmc> but Go might be better for writing certain kinds of software
21:05:12 <kmc> and is more mature
21:05:29 <kmc> you'd be a bit mad to run a production system on Rust right now, although I think there are some (small) examples of people doing that
21:05:40 <mroman> GC-less?
21:05:45 <mroman> You mean like...
21:05:56 <mroman> "We've got destructors"
21:06:00 <kmc> yes
21:06:03 <mroman> which clean up as soon as you leave scope
21:06:21 <kmc> Rust is based on unique ownership of objects + safe borrowing of references to them
21:06:28 <kmc> but you can also do reference counting or GC if you want
21:06:59 <kmc> it's a lot like a vastly cleaned-up C++
21:07:06 <shachaf> is there a cycle collector or something for rust yet
21:07:25 <ais523_> there's a reference counter and a non-reference-counting-based garbage collector, IIRC
21:07:34 <ais523_> neither of which is used unless you ask for them
21:07:39 <kmc> RAII, smart pointers, non-homogenous data, objects by value, monomorphizing generics, etc.
21:07:55 <kmc> there's not actually a garbage collector as part of Rust yet
21:08:10 <kmc> it'll happen after 1.0 maybe
21:08:21 <kmc> the std lib does have refcounted boxes, both thread-local and shareable versions
21:08:24 <mroman> although i'm not really familar with C++
21:08:34 <kmc> some of Servo's Rust objects are now managed by the SpiderMonkey garbage collector, which is pretty cool
21:08:46 <kmc> and this is integrated with Rust smart pointers in a way that mostly prevents you from fucking it up
21:08:52 <kmc> I think my colleage and I are going to write a blog post about that
21:08:59 <kmc> colleague*
21:09:00 <ais523_> mroman: don't worry, neither is anyone else
21:09:40 -!- mhi^ has joined.
21:09:40 <mroman> I assume something like { int* a = malloc(..); } doesn't get cleaned-up in Rust?
21:10:17 -!- nooodl has joined.
21:10:20 <ais523_> let int a = box 6; or whatever definitely does get cleaned up
21:10:21 <kmc> it depends what you mean by translating that to Rust
21:10:32 <ais523_> or rather, the program will fail to compile if it can't figure out where the data's meant to get freed
21:10:39 <ais523_> err
21:10:43 <ais523_> let int &a = box 6;
21:10:51 <ais523_> still wrong
21:10:54 <ais523_> let int ~a = box 6
21:10:55 <ais523_> I think
21:10:58 <ais523_> haven't rusted in ages
21:11:01 <ais523_> I'll let kmc correct me
21:11:03 <kmc> mroman: there's an "unsafe dialect" of Rust which will let you call the actual libc malloc and get a raw pointer back and dereference it and segfault and do whatever you want
21:11:47 <zzo38> kmc: Is it possible to combine it with safe codes in the same file (by specifying if you want unsafe, on one block, or something like that)?
21:11:50 <kmc> yes
21:11:56 <kmc> you can only do that in a function that's marked unsafe, or within an unsafe { ... } block
21:13:00 <kmc> the latter is an unchecked assertion that you have proven that none of these behaviors can occur: http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/rust.html#behavior-considered-unsafe
21:13:11 <kmc> it's the way you wrap a safe interface around unsafe internals
21:13:25 <Bike> fuckyouiknowwhatimdoing { ... }
21:13:28 <kmc> (and you can only call an unsafe function from another unsafe function or an unsafe { ... } block, naturally)
21:13:34 <fowl> iwannabec#{}
21:13:54 <fowl> rust has disgusting "macro"s
21:14:01 <Melvar> ( :t believe_me
21:14:01 <idris-bot> believe_me : a -> b
21:14:06 <Melvar> Bike: ↑
21:14:17 <kmc> mroman: so the more idiomatic translation of that would be like ais523_ said,  let a: Box<int> = box 3;
21:14:20 <Bike> unsafeCoerce i assume
21:14:22 <kmc> used to be spelled  let a: ~int = ~3;
21:14:35 <Bike> ( :t String
21:14:35 <idris-bot> String : Type
21:14:38 <Melvar> Bike: Effectively, but “believe_me” is the actual name.
21:14:43 <Bike> ( believe_me 17 :: String
21:14:46 <idris-bot> When elaborating an application of constructor __infer:
21:14:47 <idris-bot>         Can't disambiguate name: Effects.Env.::, Data.HVect.::, Prelude.List.::, Data.Vect.Quantifiers.::, Prelude.Stream.::, Prelude.Vect.::
21:14:55 <Bike> uh?
21:15:00 <Bike> ( (believe_me 17) :: String
21:15:00 <idris-bot> When elaborating an application of constructor __infer:
21:15:00 <idris-bot>         Can't disambiguate name: Effects.Env.::, Data.HVect.::, Prelude.List.::, Data.Vect.Quantifiers.::, Prelude.Stream.::, Prelude.Vect.::
21:15:01 <kmc> that gives you a pointer to a box in the heap; the pointer "owns" the box and when the pointer's destructor is called, the box will be freed
21:15:10 <Bike> well, whatever.
21:15:11 <kmc> like C++'s std::unique_ptr
21:15:11 <ais523_> Bike: it can't figure out which 17 you mean
21:15:14 <ais523_> or possibly which string
21:15:18 <Melvar> Bike: (::) is the cons operator.
21:15:24 <Bike> oh. durr yes.
21:15:27 <ais523_> oh, that too
21:15:29 <zzo38> kmc: Why did you chage it from    let a: ~int = ~3    into   let a: Box<int> = box 3;     ?
21:15:30 <Bike> ( (believe_me 17) : String
21:15:31 <idris-bot> (input):1:17: error: expected: "$",
21:15:31 <idris-bot>     "$>", "&&", "&&&", "*", "***",
21:15:31 <idris-bot>     "+", "++", "-", "->", ".", "/",
21:15:31 <idris-bot>     "/=", ":+", ":-", "::", ":::",
21:15:31 <idris-bot>     ":=", "<", "<$", "<$>", "<*>",↵…
21:15:35 <kmc> but you can take a "borrowed" reference to that box (of type &int or &mut int) and pass it around
21:15:39 <kmc> and the safety of that is statically checked
21:15:43 <Bike> okay, what.
21:15:47 <Melvar> Bike: You can’t do a type annotation with colon.
21:15:49 <Bike> "clearly i'm too used to haskell"
21:15:51 <Melvar> ( :t the
21:15:51 <idris-bot> Prelude.Basics.the : (a : Type) -> a -> a
21:16:02 <Bike> ( the String (believe_me 17)

21:16:09 <Bike> very nice.
21:16:21 <Bike> ( the String 17
21:16:21 <idris-bot> Can't resolve type class Num String
21:16:35 <ais523_> I hate the way every super-massively-type-safe language has a coerce-anything-to-anything-else function
21:16:36 <kmc> the type system includes "lifetime variables" for preventing dangling references http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/guide-lifetimes.html#returning-references
21:16:52 <Bike> coerce crap to bullshit
21:16:54 <kmc> fowl: what's your problem with Rust's macros?
21:16:54 <zzo38> ais523_: Are you sure they would all have such a one?
21:16:58 <ais523_> zzo38: no
21:17:04 <Melvar> Bike: If you compiled that believe_me bit it would probably segfault.
21:17:07 <mroman> that would actually mean it's weakly and not strongly typed?
21:17:10 <zzo38> Even then, in Haskell there is a safe mode, which avoid such unsafeCoerce and so on.
21:17:19 <Bike> Melvar: that's what i was hoping to see :p
21:17:25 <kmc> ais523_: it's really necessary in Rust, because you build the safe parts out of unsafe parts
21:17:30 <kmc> most of the Rust runtime system is written in Rust
21:17:35 <mroman> I recall the definition of "weak" is "you can circumvent the type system with a (void*) cast"
21:17:35 <kmc> (also, most of the Rust runtime system is optional)
21:17:39 <ais523_> kmc: yes, I understand that
21:17:45 <kmc> mroman: nobody actually agrees on what these terms mean
21:17:51 <Bike> >2011 >words having means
21:17:54 <Bike> meanings
21:17:54 <ais523_> mroman: I've seen that defined as "unsound"
21:18:10 <zzo38> Except that as they said, in Rust if you want a unsafe code you have to specify "unsafe" block. In Haskell they are called "unsafe".
21:18:33 <shachaf> ais523_: I think people would call e.g. Haskell unsound because of undefined.
21:18:36 <Bike> have you considered becoming a non cognitivist??
21:18:42 <ais523_> I think the only type-related definition that's generally agreed on is static versus dynamic
21:18:49 <shachaf> unsafeCoerce is more of an operational thing.
21:18:53 <kmc> shachaf: I would say that the type system is an unsound logic, but not that the type system itself is unsound
21:18:59 <fowl> kmc, they're filthy unreadable $$$enough$already$$$
21:19:09 <shachaf> kmc: Ah, I suppose you could say that.
21:19:27 <kmc> typically an unsound type system means one which allows programs to "go wrong", whatever exactly that means for the goals of your type system
21:19:28 <ais523_> Melvar: could you get idris-bot to not line-wrap its error messages?
21:19:36 <zzo38> Bike: What is a non cognitivist?
21:19:42 <ais523_> one 300-char line is less disruptive in IRC than five 60-char lines
21:19:44 <kmc> most type systems try to provide memory safety, so "going wrong" would include use-after-free, memory leaks, etc.
21:19:46 <ais523_> not a big deal, just something to think aobut
21:19:47 <ais523_> *about
21:19:53 <kmc> Rust also tries to prevent data races
21:20:07 <fowl> how many kinds of pointers are there in rust? still 4?
21:20:11 <ais523_> kmc: I was reading that post about replacing "mut" with "uniq"
21:20:19 <kmc> I didn't read that yet
21:20:25 <ais523_> it's interesting
21:20:29 <ais523_> and reminded me a bunch of my own research
21:20:33 <kmc> fowl: ~ and @ have both turned into library types
21:20:35 <zzo38> What is this "mut" and "uniq"?
21:20:46 <kmc> fowl: so there's *, *mut, &, and &mut
21:20:53 <kmc> but also many library types that act like pointers
21:20:53 <ais523_> zzo38: "mut" means "the data can be changed via this pointer", and "this is the only mutable pointer to the data"
21:21:05 <Melvar> ais523_: Seems to be a bug in Idris, since the normal REPL does the same thing, regardless of the consolewidth setting (which the bot sets to 200)
21:21:10 <ais523_> "uniq" is a proposal for "this is the only pointer to the data", with mutability not being specific
21:21:10 <kmc> every big C++ project has like a dozen custom smart pointer classes
21:21:34 <kmc> "mut" currently means the only pointer, not just the only mutable pointer
21:21:51 <ais523_> ah right
21:22:03 <zzo38> kmc: Really? I don't know much about C++ project, and why they have a dozen custom smart pointer classes.
21:22:26 <fowl> ick
21:22:43 <ais523_> fowl: No output.
21:22:56 <ais523_> (you have to specify an INTERCAL program if you want ick to produce output, or --help/--version)
21:22:58 <zzo38> Couldn't you add both a "mut" and "uniq" types, then?
21:23:07 <Melvar> ais523_: Also I should look if I can’t find how that operator-listing parse error comes about, since that’s annoying in any case.
21:23:11 <ais523_> zzo38: that was one suggestion in the blog post
21:23:23 <fizzie> The mean of a word is just the character corresponding to the (rounded) sum of its code points divided by the length of the word.
21:23:25 <ais523_> but the author preferred getting rid of mut altogether
21:23:28 <ais523_> which is massively controversial
21:23:47 <fowl> why? i thought immutability was the tits
21:23:54 <fowl> immutability solves all problems, doesnt it
21:24:06 <kmc> it is an essential part of the way Rust provides memory safety
21:24:14 <ais523_> I guess you could sum the argument up as, uniq lets you do everything that's new in terms of memory safety in Rust
21:24:16 <kmc> so I'm not sure what you'd do in its place, but I didn't read the blog post yet
21:24:20 <kmc> hmm
21:24:22 <ais523_> but it doesn't let you do the stuff that const does in C
21:24:23 <kmc> I guess that's so
21:24:38 <ais523_> or in other words, the post is about capturing the rustiness of immutability
21:24:44 <kmc> Rust doesn't have a way to create immutable objects, anyway -- the mutability of an object depends on how you're accessing it
21:24:47 <ais523_> but loses the non-rust-related benefits
21:24:50 <kmc> so there are mut/immut local variables, and mut/immut pointers
21:24:58 <kmc> but if you own an immut thing you can always make it mut
21:25:27 <kmc> (except for global variables declared with 'static', which are basically constants)
21:26:44 <kmc> you can effectively make an immutable object, though, by putting it in a private struct field and only exposing an accessor that returns an immutable reference
21:26:45 <Taneb> Is there a >>= equivalent for Rust's option?
21:26:52 <kmc> I think it's .chain()
21:26:58 <kmc> there are a bunch of HOFs on Option<T>
21:27:11 <kmc> http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/core/option/type.Option.html
21:27:48 <kmc> Rust doesn't have higher-kinded polymorphism :/  so you can't make these generic as in Applicative, Monad, etc.
21:29:56 <shachaf> i want higher-kinded polymorphism :'(
21:29:58 <kmc> me too
21:30:19 <kmc> the other day I wanted to write a trait with kind (Lifetime -> Type) -> Constraint
21:31:41 <mroman> what the use of freezing a const literal?
21:31:51 <mroman> let foo = &20;?
21:32:07 <shachaf> by the way did you see that paper i linked here a while ago about rank-n types in languages that try not to box things
21:32:27 <kmc> shachaf: no! sounds interesting
21:32:37 <kmc> mroman: you can pass it to a function that expects &int
21:32:42 <kmc> f(&20)
21:32:49 <kmc> doesn't have to be a constant either, you can do f(&g())
21:33:10 <kmc> it creates an unnamed temporary variable in the current scope
21:33:18 <fowl> whats the rationale for using a bunch of operators instead of words?

21:40:04 <kmc> grr, I have an enum with 6 variants and I want a type which is restricted to 4 of them
21:40:18 <Bike> subtyping........................
21:40:23 <kmc> i wish that kind of thing didn't suck in most langs
21:40:26 <kmc> refinement types could do it
21:40:31 <kmc> and yeah
21:40:33 <kmc> i don't like subtyping
21:40:35 <kmc> but it's convenient
21:40:48 <kmc> in this case
21:40:59 <kmc> I could at least write a macro which automates declaration and conversion for the "subtype" enum
21:41:23 <kmc> Rust supports defining macros using arbitrary Rust code, although it's not pretty
21:43:55 <Taneb> Right, I got it to work
21:44:26 <Taneb> By not naming the thing that didn't have enough lifetime?
21:44:32 <Taneb> It was only used once anyway
21:48:13 <shachaf> ais523_-ghost: oh, that explains it
21:48:17 <shachaf> kmc: why don't you like subtyping
21:48:55 <Taneb> Can I get a code review for main()? http://hastebin.com/eduvawahub.rs
21:49:19 <fowl> Rust can't figure out the type 
21:49:49 <Taneb> Other than adding more useful comments
21:49:51 <shachaf> kmc: looks like it was http://flint.cs.yale.edu/flint/publications/flex.pdf
21:50:03 <fowl> Taneb, isnt there a constructor you can use there instead
21:50:24 <Taneb> How d'you mean?
21:50:39 <fowl> Taneb, just Some(..) to construct option<t>
21:51:42 <Taneb> I don't understand
21:52:35 <fowl> you dont?
21:52:41 <Taneb> No, sorry
21:52:44 <fowl> Some(4) #=> Option<Int> value of 4
21:52:58 <fowl> you know what a constructor is, stop pulling my chain
21:53:07 <Taneb> Yes, but I don't understand how that helps
21:53:18 <Taneb> I'm getting the Option<uint> from from_str()
21:53:33 <fowl> and you can't omit that?
21:53:34 <shachaf> kmc: i'd suspect that rust cares about runtime representation a bit too much for that kind of trickery
21:54:01 <Taneb> fowl, no, because it can't tell that it's a uint
21:54:18 <fowl> from_str<uint>?
21:55:41 <Taneb> I think I've got it
21:56:20 -!- edwardk has joined.
21:56:45 <kmc> Taneb: one day you will be able to write from_str::<for uint>(...)  or so, but that's not much better

21:58:03 <kmc> Taneb: instead of long else/if chains I like to do something like   match () { _ if x > 49 => ..., _ if is_prime1(x) => ..., }
21:58:08 <kmc> Taneb: oh, does it work now?
21:58:23 <zzo38> How do I get rid of the message at the top of the MediaWiki page that says your edit is saved?
21:58:32 <Bike> that seems like an awkard cond :/
21:58:41 <Bike> "maybe you could write a macro"
21:58:42 <kmc> it's not the best
21:58:46 <kmc> Haskell has the same basic issue
21:58:50 <Taneb> kmc, and I didn't know that guards existed like that
21:59:24 <fowl> oh my
21:59:28 <fowl> from_str::<int> -_-
21:59:38 <fowl> they should have called rust "line noise"
21:59:51 <Bike> https://twitter.com/ibogost/status/467423954328883200/photo/1/large meanwhile in the ACM
22:00:31 <kmc> fowl: nice one
22:00:59 <Bike> maybe you should jokingly name the language after some kind of corrosion, to emphasize how ugly it is,
22:01:30 <kmc> I'm starting to think the real value of fancy movement commands in Vim is for macros
22:01:58 <fowl> Bike, lol
22:02:04 <shachaf> imagine if all programming was like writing vim macros
22:03:29 <zzo38> shachaf: It is why there is many different kind of programming languages, which is so that, it doesn't have to be all programming like writing vim macros.
22:04:07 -!- edwardk has quit (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.).
22:05:03 <kmc> shachaf: should I feel bad about f(match a { b => return c, d => e })
22:05:58 <fowl> kmc, does that return c/e to the call to f or to the function enclosing it
22:06:50 <Bike> i would hope that it works by either passing e to f, or returning c to the lexically enclosing block without calling f.
22:07:06 <fowl> yea thats what it looks like
22:07:24 <kmc> that's right
22:07:40 <kmc> well, the lexically enclosing function body
22:07:45 <kmc> not necessarily the closest block
22:08:01 <fowl> yes kmc you should feel bad
22:08:05 <kmc> return acts like calling a continuation captured at entry to the function
22:08:09 <kmc> the type of (return x) unifies with anything
22:08:25 <Bike> well i don't know what a "block" is in rust, i'm just using lisp terms because lol.
22:08:30 <Taneb> Programming languages are weird
22:08:31 <kmc> ok
22:08:38 <shachaf> kmc: imo kind of bad but also kind of good??
22:08:38 <fowl> unifies? meaning what
22:08:50 <kmc> error: cannot bind by-move into a pattern guard
22:08:56 <kmc> that's an interesting one
22:09:01 <fowl> kmc, what do you gain from having the match inside the func call? internet points?
22:09:21 <kmc> there are so many tricky cases that come up with uniqueness / move semantics
22:09:21 <Bike> fowl: type unification
22:09:47 <Bike> fowl: like in pseudo-C since i don't know how rust decls work, "foo x = return bar;" is valid for any type foo.
22:10:04 <kmc> I think it should be safe as long as the bound-by-move variables don't appear in the guard
22:10:07 <kmc> but i'm not sure
22:10:18 <fowl> alright
22:10:21 <Bike> i've done what kmc's doing before. it's kind of super ugly so i'd feel a bit bad but not enough to change it if that's what i meant
22:10:51 <shachaf> kmc: do you know what happens in ruby when you write something like def foo(); return proc { return 5 }; end
22:10:53 <fowl> buzzwords :rolleyes:
22:11:09 <elliott> buzzwords??
22:11:12 <shachaf> (where the "return" in the proc means "return from foo".)
22:11:18 <shachaf> s/\.//
22:11:29 <kmc> you capture a continuation?
22:11:31 <Bike> "ugly" is a buzzword
22:11:39 <shachaf> you'd hope for that but it's just an error :'(
22:11:43 <kmc> oh
22:12:21 <Bike> i can understand not wanting to introduce undelimited continuations :V
22:12:32 <shachaf> you wouldn't know when to capture a continuation anyway since everything is all dynamic
22:12:36 <shachaf> imo eval "return 5"
22:12:40 <Bike> noooooo
22:13:25 <Taneb> I'll say it again.
22:13:30 <shachaf> kmc: shamir's secret sharing is so simple btw
22:13:32 <Taneb> Programming languages are weird.
22:13:43 <shachaf> for some reason i thought it was complicated but it's not
22:16:36 <shachaf> another thing i thought was complicated but isn't: crontab syntax

22:17:52 <Bike> does anyone here know about gröbner bases?

23:22:02 <douglass1> confusion at nu was too common to even remark on
23:22:57 <Taneb> douglass1, oh god, if I was leading that class...
23:23:07 <douglass1> it was q-chem
23:23:09 <Taneb> (I have the worst handwriting when I'm not thinking about it)
23:23:25 <Taneb> (I used to write my ns and as really similar
23:23:25 <douglass1> they let me take the actual physics version instead for the same major requirement. SO MUCH BETTER.
23:24:16 <douglass1> whereas nu you're kind of stuck with anywhere you're doing spectroscopy and it's not just that the particular lecturer or text sucks
23:24:51 <Phantom_Hoover> i'd a lecturer this year who wrote his rs like an n, his ns like an m, and his m like some kind of weird mutant letter

23:26:15 <Bike> suddenly mysteriously glad i haven't taken a math(y) class in years
23:27:40 <Phantom_Hoover> in a similar vein the geometry lecturer just used the board as a substitute for his short-term memory, writing disjointed fragments hither and thither with no actual structure
23:28:10 <Taneb> How horrible is in Rust having a function that returns a closure that's captured an (otherwise inaccessible) vector?
23:28:22 <douglass1> quantum
23:28:48 <Taneb> And then mutates the vector potentially each time it's called
23:29:11 <Bike> how do you have a quantum chemistry class without actual physics...
23:29:19 <Bike> is this like how everybody is afraid to tell me what a d orbital looks like
23:29:34 <Taneb> Actually, I could make it a lot less horrible... but a lot less safe?

01:39:04 <zzo38> The saving throws for healing spells in Dungeons&Dragons are not symmetric!
01:40:41 <zzo38> (Specifically, the saving throw is different for living and undead targets.)
01:41:11 <zzo38> More symmetric probably would be if the saving throw is the same except for the "(harmless)" marker.

02:06:37 <zzo38> How well does keyless RC4 pass randomness tests?
02:15:49 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: Nite).
02:16:38 <monotone> Do you mean RC4 without a stream key?
02:17:57 <monotone> The output would be deterministic at that point, no?
02:18:14 -!- mekeor` has joined.
02:18:45 <zzo38> Yes, although it could still be tested
02:19:03 -!- mekeor has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
02:19:17 <monotone> From a cryptographic standpoint, that wouldn't make much sense.
02:19:25 <zzo38> You can then add a key if you want it not to be the same each time, but make it the same for the same key.
02:20:01 <zzo38> SQLite uses RC4 with a 256-byte key for its random number generator.
02:20:14 <monotone> Yes, that's the idea of the key with all stream ciphers.
02:20:44 <zzo38> Yes I know that
02:21:35 <zzo38> SQLite obtains the key from the VFS implementation, and is intended not to ever use the same key, although it is possible to do so.
02:21:43 <monotone> I don't think you can meaningfully define "random-looking" without a key, though.
02:22:12 <zzo38> Famicom Hangman does not use a key, but it generates a new random number several times per frame and normally ignores the result.
02:22:39 <zzo38> (It only uses the result when the space-bar is held down)
02:23:45 -!- Sorella has quit (Quit: It is tiem!).
02:24:21 <zzo38> How well do you expect that to work?
02:25:33 <monotone> Depends on the application.
02:25:52 <monotone> If you just need something that looks kinda random then, hey, you can't do worse than Pokémon.
02:25:58 <zzo38> Well, it is a hangman game.
02:28:20 <monotone> RC4 is probably overkill for that unless your answers are TLS streams.
02:34:19 <zzo38> Another thing I wanted to use is to generate random booster packs (such as for Limited tournaments in Magic: the Gathering). In such a case there would be a key, but if one is not explicitly specified, it could be generated automatically using date/time and other things.
02:34:51 <zzo38> If you have 100 choices, you might use 7-bits and then if the result exceeds 99, you can try again until it doesn't exceed 99.
02:35:52 <zzo38> (At least, it is what I have implemented in any program which I implement a random number algorithm; I don't know how common it is.)
02:46:36 <kmc> RC4 is a shitty RNG
02:47:04 <kmc> it has hella biases
02:47:32 <kmc> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC4#Security
02:47:49 <kmc> most egregiously "the second output byte of the cipher was biased toward zero with probability 1/128 (instead of 1/256)"
02:48:02 <kmc> so no, it's not even suitable for non-cryptographic uses
02:48:26 <zzo38> It is commonly used though, it seems
02:49:39 <zzo38> Even without the modifications, although there are many modifications that are used too, such as skipping a lot of the start of the output, and/or modifying the key scheduling algorithm to run a large number of times, etc
02:50:54 <Bike> can't you just use an actual prng
02:55:34 <zzo38> It would seem clear now that RC4 is no good if used plainly, at least; you would have to use carefully. Actually any algorithm should be used carefully but RC4 has some specific weaknesses to consider.
02:57:04 <zzo38> I would think any algorithm you are encrypting something with, you may want to compress it first, using a compression algorithm without headers and so on; you can even use especially what is known based on what kind of messages they are, for example if it is ASCII text one simple thing you can do is just ignore the bit7 of the results.
03:09:41 <zzo38> One thing you can do with any algorithm, assuming the messages do not get lost, is the message, once decrypted, contains a key for next message, or some part of the key.
03:10:40 <zzo38> You can also pad messages and add random junk inside of some parts and so on.
03:12:36 <zzo38> For example, an attacker who knows that the message contains "Meet Jane and me tomorrow at 3:30 pm" at a particular point can recover the keystream at that point from the ciphertext and plaintext. Then the attacker can replace the original content with any other content of exactly the same length, such as "3:30 meeting is cancelled, stay home" by encrypting it with the recovered keystream, without knowing the encryption key.
03:12:53 <zzo38> If you add random junk inside of the message then you can avoid such a thing.
03:13:04 <Bike> good to know
03:27:30 <zzo38> I read about steganography (possibly in combination with encryption), and even about encoding the text inside of a diagram of a flower, or in music, or something. Once someone blink their eye by a Morse code. Once I tried to use a coughing code to give the answers to a test (simply to see if I could).

11:12:23 <mroman> alice receives it, subtracts her a and sends back m+a+b-a `mod` r

14:58:38 <quintopia> zzo38: what about infinite regress octagonal fractal tiling
14:58:52 <zzo38> I don't know what that is.
14:59:17 <quintopia> you tile the plane with octagons. then you fill the spaces between them with octagons
14:59:19 <int-e> zzo38: but if you allow them to have different shapes then it becomes almost trivial.
14:59:25 <quintopia> then repeat with smaller octagons
14:59:27 <quintopia> and smaller
14:59:28 <quintopia> etc.
14:59:31 <boily> quintopia: in our software, we have a tooth number class, with methods to get the international and American numbers.
14:59:39 <zzo38> int-e: Yes I know that
14:59:53 <int-e> heh. is a square removed from a square an octagon? it has 8 corners, 4 outside, 4 inside...
15:00:20 <zzo38> (and you can fill a shape with triangles of different shapes too)
15:03:07 <boily> int-e: ianam, but no.
15:03:40 <zzo38> int-e: I don't think so; I count nine sides. Still I don't really know.
15:05:02 <int-e> boily: I agree, but I found the thought amusing.
15:05:44 <boily> it's like a car has eight wheels. two in front, two in the back, two left and two right :D
15:07:16 <zzo38> I also count twelve corners in the shape described.
15:07:47 <zzo38> I am probably both wrong, though.
15:08:12 <int-e> zzo38: http://int-e.eu/~bf3/tmp/tile.png is what I had in mind when I mentioned non-convex octagons
15:08:54 <zzo38> Yes, that works.
15:10:14 <quintopia> boily: oh you work with dental. i forgot
15:11:29 <ion> http://i.imgur.com/jmgzg0w.png
15:11:35 <int-e> I guess the square with a square hole is, as a polygon, a degenererated decagon (with two coincident edges connecting an outside corner to an inside corner)
15:11:55 <Taneb> ion, I am pretty sure that a number of those characters are not ASCII
15:12:26 -!- alone has changed nick to syndrome.
15:12:27 <Jafet> It seems to be possible to get six, eight, nine or twelve sides, but no others.
15:13:08 <boily> ion: oh. ooooooooh...
15:13:45 <int-e> Jafet: sides for what?
15:17:22 <Jafet> A polygon obtainable by removing a square from a square.
15:18:02 <Jafet> Actually, only six, eight or nine.
15:20:28 <int-e> ok, I see what you mean
15:22:02 <int-e> when you had 12 you should also get 10 (with two corners of the inner square touching the sides)
15:24:22 <Jafet> One of the sides is not necessary, so it should not be counted.

17:48:46 <zzo38> Which PC motherboards includes a Forth system (or BASIC or assembler) in BIOS so that it can boot without an operating system?
17:49:20 <nortti> the original PC, at least
17:50:16 <zzo38> Better is if, such a thing also includes command for CMOS setting and for internet connection and serial port, so it is still possible to use it as a simple telnet client or terminal to directly connected equipment, and using for downloading an operating system using internet.
17:50:17 <nortti> if there ever were PCs with open firmware those'd have forth
17:50:34 <zzo38> Is Open Firmware compatible with the PC BIOS, though?
17:50:38 <nortti> nope

18:27:00 <zzo38> What is your opinion of the http://esolangs.org/wiki/Gentzen so far?
18:31:11 <boily> at a glance, it feels like an uncompressed ursala mixed in with abbreviated ruby-ish perl.
18:31:22 <boily> but it has “iosys” in it, which in my book is a big plus.
18:32:09 <boily> (holy fungot. two scrolls of acquirement on Lair:1. the RNG will hit me hard soon...)
18:32:09 <fungot> boily: so, hey, it was our table! if he's interested, he'll push it back to your side. the salt shaker over to their side, this means that that one incident to say that sentence:
18:32:50 <elliott> acquire better armour
18:33:03 <zzo38> Uncompressed ursala? I don't know of that. And how is it like mixed with abbreviated ruby-ish perl.
18:33:25 <zzo38> elliott: But if such an armour is cursed, then it would make it difficult to acquire a better one, I think?
18:33:53 <elliott> remove curse scrolls are incredibly common in crawl :p
18:34:08 <boily> elliott: that's exactly what I did. “the +2 pair of gloves of Sakiem (worn) {Str+2}”
18:34:45 <nortti> zzo38: there actually are some HP laptops with firmware (I think) linux system that is very limited and shitty
18:35:20 <zzo38> Ah, OK then use remove curse scroll if you find a better armor and then find that the one you just put on cannot come off.
18:36:39 <zzo38> nortti: How limited is it? I would think is better having a BIOS with Forth included, but doesn't include a whole bunch of stuff like application programs and so on.
18:37:11 <nortti> just a out of date firefox and a shitty filesystem browser, iirc
18:37:58 <zzo38> That's really silly
18:39:31 <zzo38> Better would be to have a Forth system with direct hardware access, and perhaps a terminal emulator
18:41:15 <zzo38> boily: I don't know about Ursala (I cannot find the information), and I don't know what "abbreviated ruby-ish perl" quite means. Can you explain it better perhaps?
18:44:02 <boily> zzo38: cpressey sez: “I also wanted to implement it in URSALA, but its official website seems to have vanished. (Well, I didn't stand a chance, anyway, really.)” on his user page.
18:44:35 <boily> I think https://github.com/gueststar/Ursala is pretty legit about ursala.
18:45:06 <boily> ruby-ish perl is just that nice visual over-abundance of punctuation symbols seasoning a program listing.

22:36:28 <Bike> You can do whatever you dream.
22:36:57 <zzo38> I know I can obviously program that in, but I meant, would it work OK?
22:37:29 <oerjan> zzo38: i'm pretty sure i've seen your 1/n algorithm before.
22:37:30 <Bike> i don't know what your criteria for "OK" are, so probably.
22:37:46 <zzo38> Where have you seen it?
22:39:13 <oerjan> for one thing, it seems implied in the fisher-yates shuffle.
22:39:37 <oerjan> (if you use it only for finding the first element, say)
22:40:34 <zzo38> I am only searching for a single element of the list, although they may have different weights (possibly even zero) and the weights may vary.
22:41:35 <oerjan> i'm pretty sure you can adapt it to use weights.
22:42:15 <oerjan> basically, switch in a number with the probability of it + the remaining numbers.
22:42:36 <int-e> right. just calculate the probability of the current item w.r.t. the items seen so far, and replace the item you have by the current item with that probability.
22:42:51 <zzo38> Would the way I specified work?
22:43:15 <oerjan> no, not the probability of the current item, the probability of the current item _or any later one_
22:43:19 <oerjan> (combined)
22:43:39 <oerjan> or wait hm
22:43:40 <fizzie> I'm pretty sure I've seen the (unweighted) 1/n approach, too.
22:43:53 <int-e> > let xs = [5%5,4%9,3%12,2%14,1%15] in zipWith (/) xs (scanl1 (+) xs)
22:43:55 <lambdabot>  [1 % 1,4 % 13,9 % 61,36 % 463,84 % 2399]
22:44:35 <int-e> those are your probabilities for discarding the previous item and replacing it by the current one.
22:44:45 <int-e> > let xs = [1%1,1,1,1,1,1,1] in zipWith (/) xs (scanl1 (+) xs)
22:44:46 <lambdabot>  [1 % 1,1 % 2,1 % 3,1 % 4,1 % 5,1 % 6,1 % 7]
22:45:17 <zzo38> No, I mean the probability to discard and replace with the current one are 5/5, 4/9, 3/12, 2/14, 1/15.
22:45:29 <fizzie> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_sampling
22:45:34 <int-e> oh, hmm.
22:45:35 <oerjan> argh brain closing down
22:46:26 <zzo38> (If the weight is 5,4,3,2,1)
22:46:35 <zzo38> Note, the weights will not be known ahead of time
22:46:47 <int-e> > let ys = zipWith (/) [5%5,4%9,3%12,2%14,1%15] (scanl (+) 1 ys) in ys
22:46:49 <lambdabot>  [1 % 1,2 % 9,9 % 80,720 % 11767,564816 % 20298727]
22:47:13 <int-e> hmm, no.
22:47:14 <oerjan> hm i think int-e is about right, anyway
22:48:20 <oerjan> although there might be an off by one error or not in there
22:48:42 <oerjan> oh
22:48:54 <zzo38> Maybe I have made several kind of mistake, I don't know
22:48:55 <oerjan> you don't want scanl (+) 1 ys, just scanl1 (+) ys
22:49:19 <oerjan> i think the first was right.
22:49:29 <elliott> "fix it by moving the 1"
22:51:11 <int-e> > let ys = scanl (*) 5 (map (\p -> 1/(1-p)) $ tail [5%5,4%9,3%12,2%14,1%15]) in zipWith (-) ys (0:ys)
22:51:12 <lambdabot>  [5 % 1,4 % 1,3 % 1,2 % 1,1 % 1]
22:51:19 <oerjan> i sense a small complication if an initial segment has weights 0, though.
22:51:36 <int-e> (that was a bit tricky to get right)
22:52:01 <oerjan> oh you were calculating in reverse
22:52:01 <zzo38> Yes clearly such thing is then wrong, but based on the algorithm actually in use it probably isn't a problem if the weight is 0.
22:52:26 <oerjan> zzo38: well you just need to handle division by zero correctly.
22:52:48 <zzo38> I am not actually doing any division to generate the random numbers, though.
22:52:56 <oerjan> or just skipping the initial elements, though.
22:52:59 <int-e> oerjan: I was verifying zzo38's calculation, yes. (and cheating a bit, too, see the hard-coded 5)
22:53:10 <oerjan> zzo38: well you need division if you are starting from a list of weights
22:53:25 <oerjan> to get the probabilities
22:53:29 <zzo38> The list of weights is not accessed ahead of time, though.
22:53:41 <zzo38> I have to do it without accessing the list ahead of time.
22:54:15 <oerjan> right, so does this, i was wrong about the idea of looking at later weights, you need the sum of the previous ones like int-e's scanl1 (+)
22:54:34 <oerjan> which does not look ahead.
22:54:46 <zzo38> Sum of previous weights (including the current weight) is what I did.
22:56:30 <oerjan> and i guess you don't need division if you are generating a random number in [0..sum of weights-1]
22:56:49 <zzo38> Yes, that is what I am doing.
22:56:50 <oerjan> although you still need to handle the sum being 0
22:57:29 <oerjan> well then, this seems to work
22:58:21 <zzo38> The algorithm I use is to generate however many bits of random is needed, and then if the result is too high, try again until it is in range. For example to make 0 to 99, make 7-bits number, and if it exceed 99 then try again.
22:58:30 <int-e> and as an exercise you can process the list in chunks
22:59:00 <int-e> zzo38: ah you shouldn't discard all of the number
22:59:21 <zzo38> int-e: Why?
22:59:55 <oerjan> it does waste bits
23:00:03 <int-e> zzo38: instead, note that if a random 7 bit number n exceeds 99, then n-100 is uniformely distributed between 0 and 27 (inclusively).
23:00:31 <zzo38>  sqlite3_result_text(cxt,sqlite3_db_filename(sqlite3_context_db_handle(cxt),sqlite3_value_text(*argv)),-1,SQLITE_TRANSIENT);
23:00:32 <int-e> adding another two bits to that gives you something uniform in 0..103.
23:00:37 <zzo38> Oops
23:00:41 <zzo38> Mispaste
23:01:07 <zzo38> Wouldn't doing alll that stuff just make it more confusing?
23:01:09 <int-e> It's just an optimisation, of course, but it's pretty cheap to implement.

23:03:49 <int-e> http://sprunge.us/ZEhj?c
23:04:03 <int-e> err
23:04:37 <int-e> while (u < n) -> for ( ; u < n; u <<= 1)
23:06:14 <int-e> And actually it's safe to replace that u < n by u <= n. (The invariant that the code maintains is that v is uniform in 0..u-1)
23:06:58 -!- tertu has joined.
23:09:46 <int-e> so trying again: http://sprunge.us/iWjS?c
23:14:24 <zzo38> Prove it better than the one I did.
23:19:51 <int-e> for 0..99, yours needs 8.96 random bits on average (7 * 128/100), mine needs 7.48(36) (7 + 28/128 * (2 + 4/104 * 5) * 1/(1-28/128 * 4/104))
23:23:35 <zzo38> O, OK
23:24:19 <int-e> And if you keep the (v,r) state around rather than clearing it every time, you can get to the optimal log_2(100) random bits average.
23:24:22 <zzo38> I don't quite see how it would work though, but I can see how those how many it need in average
23:24:58 <zzo38> Also, the program I am using can only generate eight bits at a time, and I have it generating sixty-four at a time (due to some other reasons)
23:28:03 <int-e> Actually even that way it still waste many bits of randomness. (you're using that number 0..99 to make a binary choice, say between 0..41 and 42..99. You can actually add the remaining uniform 0..41 or 0..57  (99-42)  back into the (v,r) state. These ideas come from arithmetic coding in data compression.

23:29:55 -!- edwardk has joined.
23:30:08 <int-e> To add a random number x in [0..n-1] to (v,r), the calculation is r = r*n (we get n times as many distinct values) and v = v*n + x. One has to be a bit careful about overflows when doing that though.
23:32:00 <int-e> Sorry I made a mistage above; we won't get to log_2(100) average this way.
23:32:09 <int-e> I also cannot type.
23:32:15 -!- Patashu has joined.
23:36:12 <zzo38> I can see what you mean now about binary choice
23:38:40 <zzo38> But I don't think the random number generator is quite the slowest thing in the program, and adding too many things might confuse it (and, sometimes may slow it down due to many instructions, regardless what the O(...) is), rather than making a simple and clearly programming
23:39:17 <zzo38> But is good you make such idea anyways, to study how much it could be done, in case it can make some of these improvements later if it seem it would be help much.

00:14:17 <fowl> offensive jokes must be this funny |-----------------| to share
00:14:22 <oerjan> i don't remember how it went back then
00:15:04 <kmc> at present I'm not able to enforce such a policy, for personal / psychological reasons
00:15:16 <kmc> if other ops wish to do so then it is fine with me
00:15:25 <kmc> basically I feel like I will be part of the problem no matter what I do :/
00:15:32 <fowl> lol
00:16:15 <quintopia> :\
00:16:25 <oerjan> ban everyone, OKAY
00:16:57 <kmc> but I think it's probably bad to have a policy that some ops can't enforce
00:16:57 <oerjan> i don't even remember why it wasn't enforced back then.
00:16:59 <quintopia> :D
00:17:14 <quintopia> which ops can't enforce it?
00:17:39 <kmc> me, I just said
00:17:41 <oerjan> quintopia: PAY ATTENTION
00:17:46 <oerjan> OR YOU WILL BE BANNED
00:17:49 <zzo38> I don't care and I think if those people leave due to such thing they are probably their own fault, although also whoever wrote such thing should be careful too (in order to avoid such thing), even if you have free speech too.
00:18:22 <quintopia> kmc: i don't understand why you couldn't enforce it
00:18:57 <oerjan> wait was it quintopia who started it back then
00:19:14 <zzo38> Maybe you disagree how funny/offensive they are? It can be possible

00:19:26 <quintopia> depending on what you mean VERY PROBABLY
00:19:54 <kmc> quintopia: because these days whenever I think about social justice things it triggers intense depressive symptoms
00:20:13 <kmc> i'm really sad and bitter about all of it
00:20:21 <quintopia> i can understand that
00:20:37 <oerjan> zzo38: there are people who cannot emotionally handle these kind of jokes, due to past trauma or whatever.
00:20:44 <kmc> about people being sexist/racist/homophobic assholes, about the psychological warfare tactics of the people who fight them online, about my own role in systems of oppression
00:21:29 <oerjan> darn now i have to stop reading you before i get depressive symptoms
00:21:52 <kmc> it's a war fought by dehumanization and by attacking the idea of empathy
00:23:01 <kmc> this is also why i really really need to stop using twitter
00:23:13 <quintopia> so let's make dehumanization and attacking the idea of empathy the bannable offence. also, triggering despressive symptoms.
00:23:30 <oerjan> which reminds me of the recent goodmath post http://www.goodmath.org/blog/2014/05/11/depression-and-arrogant-assholes/
00:23:47 <oerjan> (he's also posted about sexism previously iirc)
00:24:00 <Taneb> Can someone remind me who's an op in here?
00:24:57 <Bike> alas, i am not authorized to ask chanserv
00:25:27 <zzo38> oerjan: I know, that some people don't handle this kind of jokes. That isn't your fault, but those people who don't handle it, should have the right to complain
00:25:42 <oerjan> Taneb: me, fizzie, ais523, kmc and elliott are the active ones
00:25:49 <zzo38> quintopia: But maybe some people are depressed of strange thing

00:44:16 <zzo38> ORD_U(CHR_U(64138178286)) makes 64138178286, UNICODE(CHR_U(64138178286)) makes -286331154, UNICODE(CHAR(64138178286)) makes 65533, ORD_U(CHAR(64138178286)) makes 65533, ORD_U(CHAR(99999999999)) makes 65533, and ORD_U(CHR_U(99999999999)) results in an error message.

00:45:53 <zzo38> The C+= mentions "Now hosted on Gitorious, as GitHub, BitBucket, and Google all prove to be too misogynistic to support a feminist programming language." I don't think it necessarily means it is misogynistic, but, my own opinion is that you should be allowed to make such program if you want to, whether or not it is feminist or anything else whatever
00:47:37 <fowl> zzo38, there was enough whining that they took it down from github
00:47:53 <Bike> haha seriously
00:49:10 <fowl> zzo38, but, in feminist spirit, they (c+=) have to say that its because those sites are misogynistic

12:34:17 <oerjan> (what do you mean it's not that much)
12:40:10 <Taneb> That's like loads compared to me
12:40:15 <mroman> I'd consider my health as "poor" too
12:40:31 <mroman> without reference to how other people's health is
12:40:43 <mroman> compared to other people's health it's probably in the lower normal range :)
12:41:14 <mroman> If your vision has these weird "worm"-like structures in it you'd consider your vision as bad
12:41:28 <mroman> until you notice that lots of other people have it too
12:41:43 <oerjan> mroman: um well if you have them all the time i guess...
12:42:01 <mroman> eye floaters?
12:42:06 <mroman> They don't magially disappear ;)
12:42:15 <oerjan> they don't?
12:42:20 <mroman> no

12:43:32 <mroman> it also dependents on background color/light

13:01:20 <oerjan> i cannot do early nights.  i just end up not sleeping and lying in bed freezing.
13:01:39 <mroman> you'd think the earlier you go to bed the longer you sleep and the longer you sleep the more fit you'll be in the morning
13:01:42 <oerjan> which is one part of the reason why i have this >24 hour slippage.
13:03:54 <boily> freezing in bed? don't you have, like, bedsheets, covers, linen, woolly stuff to keep you warm?
13:04:55 <Taneb> boily, he's in Norway.
13:04:57 <oerjan> boily: those don't help.  in fact i'm likely to spend a while feeling too hot, then suddenly too cold.
13:05:04 <Taneb> Nothing hels.
13:05:07 <Taneb> *helps.

13:40:06 <mroman> well
13:40:22 <mroman> sqrt takes an int
13:40:33 <mroman> and if a list is provided, it shall map over the list
13:40:57 <mroman> i.e. the operation is applied to every element of the list automatically

13:44:44 <oerjan> mroman: you can define the instances to make it do that.  but it would be confusing to newbies.
13:45:04 <mroman> oerjan: You mean

13:45:47 <oerjan> yes, although for sqrt (which does _not_ take an Int btw) you need Floating or thereabout

13:46:19 <oerjan> hm no stack overflow yet.
13:46:37 <oerjan> i assume it would have showed up already
13:47:00 <boily> (mana vipers and shock serpents? what has DCSS come to?)
13:47:05 <mroman> not having implicit maps made Burlesque suck a little bit
13:47:16 <mroman> that and having a Pretty type and having no variables
13:47:26 <mroman> I came to the conclusions that purely stack based languages suck
13:49:19 <mroman> every function that takes two arguments should implicitly map or zip over lists

14:07:54 <Taneb> Did I tell you that the other day when I was trying to get hang of Rust (again) I managed to write a non-idempotent "isPrime" function
14:08:22 <oerjan> i am not sure "idempotent" applies to isPrime functions in any case.
14:08:41 <Taneb> Then the word I was thinking about
14:09:15 <oerjan> you mean it broke on a second run?
14:09:19 <Taneb> Sometimes.
14:09:37 <oerjan> i guess that's idempotent if you think imperatively.
14:09:41 <Taneb> It did with, say, "15"
14:09:43 <oerjan> *non-idempotent
14:10:42 <Taneb> I don't think it could produce false negatives, though
14:11:03 <oerjan> oh wait it used a randomized method i assume
14:11:12 <Taneb> Nah, it was just broken
14:11:16 <oerjan> oh
14:11:32 <Taneb> It was using trial division, and caching some of the known primes
14:11:47 <oerjan> known primes such as 51
14:11:52 -!- mhi^ has joined.
14:12:30 -!- tromp has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
14:12:32 <Taneb> It had the invariant that the cache would contain the beginning of the list of primes (that held)
14:13:01 <Taneb> But if the largest known prime was larger than the square root of the number being checked, it would start after that number
14:13:39 <Taneb> So it would go...
14:13:43 <Taneb> Is 15 prime?
14:14:06 <Taneb> s/larger/smaller/
14:14:24 <Taneb> The largest known prime is 2. 2*2 = 4 < 15.
14:14:59 <oerjan> the odd one out
14:15:15 <Taneb> Let's check 3. 3*3 = 9 < 15. 2 does not divide 3. Therefore 3 is prime. 3 divides 15. 15 is not prime.
14:15:17 <Taneb> Is 15 prime?
14:15:34 <Taneb> The largest known prime is 3. 3 * 3 = 9 < 15.
14:15:38 <int-e> it is in base 8.
14:16:11 <Taneb> Let's check 4. 4*4 = 16 > 15. No more to check. 15 is prime.
14:16:21 <FreeFull> That's not right
14:16:28 <int-e> if 3 were the largest prime then 15 would be prime, so 3 is not the largest prime and we learned nothing about 15.
14:16:30 <oerjan> FreeFull: you don't say
14:16:35 <FreeFull> It's left
14:16:44 <int-e> :P
14:16:45 <Taneb> int-e, largest prime I've remembered.
14:16:49 <FreeFull> Also you should be using RPN
14:16:56 <Taneb> Raspberry Pi Notation?
14:17:11 <int-e> 3 divides 15, so why would 15 be prime?
14:17:19 <impomatic> 15 isn't prime because it's the difference of two squares.  Any number that's the difference of two squares isn't prime.
14:17:40 <int-e> impomatic: 3 = 4-11
14:17:41 <Taneb> int-e, because it started checking at 4
14:17:42 <int-e> impomatic: 3 = 4-1
14:17:42 <oerjan> FreeFull: shouldn't poles prefer forwards PN, anyway
14:17:52 <FreeFull> Naaaah
14:18:02 <int-e> impomatic: any odd number is the difference of two squares
14:18:03 <Taneb> int-e, because my algorithm was horribly flawed
14:18:22 <FreeFull> RPN is easier to implement
14:18:50 <impomatic> int-e: Any sufficiently large number that's the difference of two squares isn't prime.
14:19:40 <impomatic> int-e: Any sufficiently large number that's the difference of two non-consecutive squares isn't prime.
14:20:20 <oerjan> hey no fair fixing your statement while we're writing up the counterexample
14:20:27 <impomatic> LOL
14:20:56 <int-e> impomatic: and now you can drop "sufficiently large"
14:21:23 <impomatic> int-e: Any number that's the difference of two non-consecutive squares isn't prime.
14:21:35 <int-e> (I could now say that 3 = 2^2 - (-1)^2, but that's just a cheap trick.)
14:21:40 <Taneb> wtf another fire alarm
14:21:43 <Taneb> This is alarming
14:21:56 <impomatic> int-e: Any number that's the difference of two non-consecutive positive squares isn't prime.
14:24:19 <impomatic> int-e: Any number that's the difference of two non-consecutive positive powers isn't prime.
14:26:02 <int-e> 3^4 - 4^3 = 17
14:26:20 <Taneb> int-e, they're consecutive, and they're different powers
14:28:13 <int-e> > 5^3 - 2^4 -- I was really after the different exponents

14:30:32 <mroman> about primes
14:30:40 <mroman> if p mod n == x
14:30:51 <mroman> then (p - x) mod n == 0?
14:31:35 <int-e> mathematicians define  a = b (mod n)  if  n  divides  (a-b).
14:34:33 <Jafet> Prime numbers, such as 57
14:34:53 <int-e> The Grothendieck prime?
14:35:40 <int-e> can't blame him much, except for being divisible by 3 and 19 it really does look like a prime number.
14:37:36 <FreeFull> mroman: True for all p , n and x
14:37:49 <mroman> If I know that 3 divides 219, and two divides 220 and 222
14:37:54 <mroman> does that tell me something about 221?
14:38:10 <mroman> except that 3 also divides 222 probably
14:38:18 -!- Patashu_ has quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds).
14:38:19 <FreeFull> It tells you 3 doesn't divide 221
14:38:20 <int-e> yes, 221 is coprime to 6 then
14:38:41 <mroman> FreeFull: exactly
14:38:55 <mroman> but I guess that has further implications
14:40:30 <int-e> Aₕₒₐₓ
14:40:44 <int-e> is unicode supposed to make sense?
14:41:13 <FreeFull> No
14:42:07 <int-e> mroman: 221 has a prime factor that's 2 modulo 3.
14:42:38 <mroman> int-e: how so?
14:42:51 <int-e> that's true for any  n = 2 (mod 3)
14:43:10 <int-e> because with only factors  = 1 (mod 3) you cannot get a product = 2 (mod 3).
14:44:14 <mroman> hm.
14:44:26 <mroman> is a*b `mod` n == (a `mod` n) * (b `mod` n)?

14:44:54 <mroman> * ((a `mod` n) * (b `mod` n)) `mod` n?
14:44:56 <mroman> to be precise
14:44:57 <int-e> 2*2 = 4 != 1
14:45:12 <int-e> yes.
14:45:22 <mroman> yes to the correction?
14:45:25 <int-e> yes.
14:45:29 <mroman> hm.
14:45:29 <mroman> ok
14:46:33 <int-e> a = a' (mod n) and b = b' (mod n) imply a*b = a'*b' (mod n)
14:48:33 <int-e> To deal with the `mod` operator mathematically, one can work with the identity (or congruence)  a = a `mod` n (mod n)  and the fact that  a = b (mod n) implues  a `mod` n = b `mod` n.
14:49:30 <int-e> then  a*b = (a `mod` n) * (b `mod` n) (mod n)  and indeed  a*b `mod` n = (a `mod` n) * (b `mod` n) `mod` n.

15:03:16 <Jafet> Did you know that two's complement is just normal Z/2^wZ with the upper half shifted around
15:03:31 <int-e> Ah! I know why Haskell does it that way. It's because a `div` b = floor(a / b), and the remainder has to match that definition ((a `div` n) * n + a `mod` n = a).
15:03:32 <Sgeo> Now wondering if maybe the link was set to the ad and the page I wanted opened via Javascript

15:04:53 <Jafet> So there isn't actually a remainder function specified as 0 <= r < |q|
15:05:20 <int-e> And `mod` and `rem` are distinct, `rem` is based on a division that rounds towards infinity.
15:05:31 <int-e> you can use \x y -> x `mod` abs y

15:39:09 <oerjan> that's splitting up 18
15:39:16 <oerjan> in 2*9
15:39:30 <int-e> [(a,b) | a <- [5,11,17], b <- [1,7,13], a*b `mod` 18 == 17]
15:39:32 <int-e> > [(a,b) | a <- [5,11,17], b <- [1,7,13], a*b `mod` 18 == 17]
15:39:34 <lambdabot>  [(5,7),(11,13),(17,1)]
15:40:14 <oerjan> the 2 part says that a*b must be odd, which you know how to handle
15:40:35 <oerjan> the 9 part says that a*b `mod` 9 == 8
15:40:40 <int-e> (you can solve it modulo 2: 1*1 = 1; modulo 3: 2*1 = 2, use the CRT to combine them into solutions modulo 6, then extend to modulo 18)
15:40:40 -!- edwardk has quit (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.).
15:41:05 <oerjan> wait what's the extend part.
15:41:26 <int-e> oerjan: just brute force in my paste for lambdabot
15:41:37 <mroman> my other idea was to calculate enough module stuff until you have enough information to reasonably brute-force the factors
15:41:41 <mroman> *modulo
15:42:08 <mroman> i.e by knowing that it's 17 `mod` 18 you can brute-force eather 7,5 or 13,11
15:43:19 <int-e> oerjan: anyway it's a fairly standard approach for solving (polynomial) equations modulo prime powers p^k: first find solutions modulo p, then take each solution and figure out what its counterparts are modulo p^2, p^3, etc; if you're lucky then there will be only one in each case.
15:43:34 <mroman> if q = a*b then either a is 7 mod 18 and b is 5 mod 18 or it's 13,11
15:43:52 <int-e> oerjan: but I don't know what it's called, "extend" may not be the right term.
15:44:02 <mroman> it's probably faster than O(sqrt(N))
15:44:09 <mroman> but it doesn't beat the quadratic sieve
15:44:15 <mroman> which is afaik sqrt . sqrt N
15:44:40 <oerjan> in any case, point here is 17 is invertible (mod 18) so there will be a solution for each value < 18 and relatively prime to it
15:45:35 <oerjan> to calculate division (mod n), you use the extended euclidean algorithm

19:54:12 <ais523_> and I agreed with it, although there were some I argued to keep
19:54:34 <MDude> I guess one good be.

19:55:30 <kmc> I didn't mean to suggest that I was leaving the channel forever
19:55:34 <kmc> I just wanted a break
19:55:35 <impomatic> Even some regular programming languages have been wiped from Wikipedia.
19:55:46 <kmc> but I can't be an op anymore, as I am not well enough to perform the duties of the job
19:55:58 <MDude> An animation can easily be a widely ntoed cultural reference pount.
19:56:34 <impomatic> No-one added citations, so the languages were deemed to be non-notable.
19:56:37 <MDude> Whereas programming lanugages in general remain a mystery to most people.
19:58:36 <MDude> Another thing is that a lot of material on esolangs can be considered original research, whcih isn't allowed on Wikipedia.
20:00:29 <Taneb> Hi, kmc!
20:01:53 <mroman> so
20:02:03 <mroman> they only allow research that has been copied?
20:03:46 <ais523_> mroman: yeah, Wikipedia only allows secondary sources
20:04:06 <ais523_> and if they enforced that policy rather than screwing around with notability, then their rules would both be more objective and better, IMO
20:04:11 <mroman> so... how do they choose which esolangs to mention as examples?
20:04:22 <mroman> germane Wikipedia lists Loopy
20:04:27 <mroman> i've never heard of Loopy
20:04:37 <ais523_> mroman: there's no "they" about it, anyone can edit an example in
20:04:51 <ais523_> and there's no real team of people dedicated to taking the dubious examples back out
20:05:23 <mroman> there seem to be a lot of languages by Sean Heber listed
20:05:44 <ais523_> check the page history, see if he put them there
20:06:02 <mroman> Cow, Taxi, Whirl, 3Code
20:06:05 <MDude> They apparently also allow citing primary sources.
20:06:30 <MDude> They seem to mostly want to avoid anything being original to Wikipedia.
20:06:50 <MDude> Which makes sense, as Encyclopedias are for compiling information, not creating it.
20:08:04 <MDude> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research
20:08:11 <mroman> "Interessant an Ook! ist, dass es formal gesehen identisch mit Brainfuck ist."
20:08:17 <mroman> I don't find that interesting at all
20:08:31 <mroman> if anything Ook! is a different encoding for brainfuck programs
20:09:37 <mroman> (German WP says that the interesting part about Ook! is, that it is "formally identical" to brainfuck)
20:10:15 <mroman> ais523_: I don't edit WP articles about esolangs because I'm pretty sure I'm biased in some way :D
20:10:18 <olsner> suppose it's true in the sense that every other thing about ook is less interesting
20:10:52 <mroman> i.e. I don't like Ook! bit
20:10:57 <ais523_> Ook! is interesting in that it predates the flood of BF derivatives
20:11:04 <ais523_> I think it actually invented the class of BF equivalents
20:11:18 <ais523_> so it was interesting at the time, even if it's now been shown to belong to a particularly boring class of languages
20:11:33 <mroman> and I don't see what the fuzz about HQ9+ is
20:12:00 <MDude> It does have a fun name.
20:12:09 <ais523_> HQ9+ is a counterexample to a bunch of statements about esolangs
20:12:17 <mroman> ais523_: Yeah
20:12:21 <mroman> It's kinda special
20:12:29 -!- nooodl_ has changed nick to nooodl.
20:12:31 <mroman> special, but the language itself is boring
20:12:39 <mroman> the idea is special, I can admit to that
20:12:46 <ais523_> that's what esolangs are for me, the idea
20:12:51 <ais523_> the language serves only as a way to express it
20:13:32 <mroman> I tend to value both I guess :)
20:15:24 <mroman> at first I triet to create esolangs that were as odd as I could imagine
20:15:26 <mroman> *tried
20:16:28 <mroman> now I create languages to do homework and some other projects to try to find stuff that could be done better than current languages do
20:17:39 <mroman> That's why Burlesque has statistics stuff :D
20:18:21 <MDude> I should actually make stuff.
20:19:05 <mroman> I usually astonished when I look through the language reference to see how many built-ins it actually has
20:19:15 <mroman> and then how many built-ins I still miss
20:19:25 <mroman> it doesn't have a built-in to tell if a list has no duplicates
20:20:48 <mroman> MDude: Brainfuck13
20:20:52 <mroman> it's the same as Brainfuck
20:20:54 <mroman> but ROT13
20:21:04 <MDude> Please.
20:21:06 <mroman> and there you have another brainfuck derivative .
20:21:23 <mroman> but
20:21:29 <mroman> what'd be much more interesting
20:21:38 <mroman> a language that works with private public key
20:21:48 <MDude> Brainfuck 86: Like Bainfuck 13, but all the numerals are replaced with 9-n.
20:21:51 <mroman> only the creator of the language can actually write programs
20:22:01 <mroman> but everyone can interpret them
20:23:04 <nortti> quite a lot of my languages are something I scribbled into my math notebook
20:23:57 <MDude> I know that Spider's Square program i ahve in my userspace doesn't actually do what I wanted.
20:24:23 <MDude> Since there's no upper limit to the number of stands.
20:25:00 <MDude> I'll have to make a language where the data is just two points on a grid, and you compare thier relative positions or something.
20:25:40 <MDude> That way any program state can be represented as a fixed number of floating point numbers.
20:27:34 <ais523_> MDude: Formula?
20:27:48 <MDude> What?
20:27:54 <ais523_> there's some uncertainty as to whether that's TC with two variables
20:28:01 <ais523_> and that's one point on the grid, plus the origin
20:28:10 <ais523_> however, floating point won't do without infinite precison
20:28:12 <MDude> Hmmm.
20:28:21 <ais523_> if you mean real numbers, say so
20:28:24 <MDude> Maybe not relative, then.
20:28:28 <ais523_> floating point is limited to a fixed number of significant figures
20:28:36 <ais523_> by definition
20:29:03 <MDude> They're to be treated in theory as real, but floats are the reccomended implementation.

20:38:16 <MDude> Yeah.
20:39:14 <MDude> I was going to try to make sure there was some upper limit to their values, possibly 1, with it being more about manipulating the trailing digits.
20:44:39 <elliott> MDude: and you'd e.g. store two reals by using an R^2 <-> R bijection, and so on, to build up data structures?
20:45:01 <elliott> it'd be cute to see how the choice of bijection interacts with fp inaccuracy
20:45:13 <impomatic> Does the language of Tierra count as esoteric?
20:45:44 <ais523_> are there any R^2 <-> R bijections that aren't horrendously discontinuous?
20:48:26 <nooodl> depends on "horrendously"
20:48:34 <MDude> I think so? I wasn't entirely sure how date structures would work.
20:48:35 <shachaf> Is horrendouly discontinuous different from discontinuous?
20:49:15 <impomatic> The language was designed for writing self-replicating programs which wouldn't break too badly when subjected to random mutations.  Jumps are to a template, not an exact location.

21:17:01 <Phantom_Hoover> well that's the point of the hilbert curve, though it's still very discontinuous
21:18:16 <Phantom_Hoover> (you can't have a continuous bijection of course because that would make the two spaces homeomorphic)
21:22:02 <oerjan> that's not a bijection though, only an onto map, although it may have bounded number of inverse images?
21:25:25 <oerjan> Phantom_Hoover: there are some spaces that have continuous bijections in at least one direction without being homeomorphic.  i assume R^2 <-> R are not among them.  hm i wonder if you can have bijections both ways (not inverses of each other, of course)

06:56:53 <mroman> Is there a fast way to find a,b for u*a + v*b + ab = z?
06:57:43 <Bike> given what?
06:58:04 <lifthrasiir> mroman: a*b?
06:58:32 <mroman> Bike: given that a != 0 and b != 0
06:58:41 <Bike> i mean, which of u,v,z
06:58:49 <mroman> given u,v and z
06:59:12 <lifthrasiir> well, it is equivalent to `(u+a)*(v+b) = z + u*v`, so it is really a factorization problem?
06:59:24 <mroman> and u != 0 and v != 0 
06:59:34 <mroman> and z != 0 for that matter :)
07:01:19 <mroman> so there's no way to solve it over the integer
07:01:23 <mroman> i.e. like diophantines?
07:01:35 <mroman> if it's a factorization problem then the answer is probably no.
07:02:03 <lifthrasiir> I don't know
07:02:39 <Bike> well it's diophantine but also linear, so probably not impossible
07:03:33 <Bike> um, i think so anyway.
07:06:16 <mroman> well, if you can solve it efficiently you might also be able to solve factorization efficiently ;)
07:07:55 -!- idris-bot has joined.
07:08:04 <mroman> would it help if a = b?
07:08:23 <mroman> i.e. u*a + v*a + a^2 = z
07:08:26 <mroman> oh wait
07:08:31 <mroman> that's a quadratic equation?
07:08:41 <Bike> yeah, i guess it's not linear anyway.
07:08:59 <Bike> but hey! that pretty fucking constrains the solutions
07:09:12 <mroman> :D
07:11:55 <mroman> too much of a constraint
07:12:34 <lifthrasiir> mroman, indeed; a^2 + (u+v)a - z = 0, so rational root theorem gives that `a` can only be one of +/- 1/z' where z divides z'.
07:12:56 <lifthrasiir> ah
07:13:01 <lifthrasiir> +/- z', sorry
07:13:19 <lifthrasiir> so it is a factorization problem again!
07:13:45 <Bike> hooray
07:15:47 <mroman> but a easier one than the original
07:15:51 <mroman> that was the point actually
07:17:01 <Bike> yes, i suppose square root is easier to compute

07:21:29 <mroman> lifthrasiir: yep
07:23:17 <mroman> but it also works for regular numbers too
07:27:59 <mroman> it's a silly thing though
07:28:27 <mroman> the closer together factors are the easier it is to factorize the number
07:29:00 <mroman> pretty much obvious
07:32:19 <mroman> lifthrasiir: I was just looking for some really easy to implement factorization method that is faster than O(sqrt(n)) and doesn't require a table or large amounts of memory
07:35:01 <lifthrasiir> mroman: how large is your input range?

07:42:48 <mroman> and depending on how good you guessed the faster it is
07:43:09 <mroman> it also does a trial division "on-the-side"
07:43:18 <mroman> for numbers ilke 11*17*607*353*...
07:43:37 <mroman> which would take much more time by just adjusting the guess because there's a really small factor in it

13:39:13 <quintopia> this is only because they haven't figured out how to use keyboards yet
13:39:35 <quintopia> just you wait, one day octopodes will be the most pernicious senders of spam on the planet
13:39:40 <MDude> We jsut need to give them some that are water-resistant.

13:45:58 <Taneb> People who know more about C, someone in another channel is asking whether "*(u8_t *)ADDRESS_LITERAL_MACRO[64]" is valid
13:54:56 <fizzie> I'm pretty sure that sort of depends on what ADDRESS_LITERAL_MACRO expands to, or is.
13:56:39 <fizzie> (Guessing from the name, probably not.)
13:57:21 <fizzie> The precedence goes *(u8_t *)(ADDRESS_LITERAL_MACRO[64]) anyway, so if it is something you can stick [64] after, then it's at least syntactically sensible.
13:58:25 <oerjan> i'd imagine the precedence, too, depends on what it expands to.
13:58:36 <Taneb> <Ajsdf> Taneb: it is something along the lines of 0x0450 being a hex representation of a memory address on a peice of hardware
14:00:47 -!- augur has quit (Quit: Leaving...).
14:02:36 <fizzie> If it expands to an integer constant, then that's not okay.
14:02:51 <fizzie> (And I was about to come back to mention what oerjan said.)
14:04:31 <Taneb> <Ajsdf> perhaps (*(u8_t *)ADDRESS_LITERAL_MACRO)[64]
14:04:40 -!- KingOfKarlsruhe has quit (Quit: Leaving.).
14:04:50 <fizzie> That doesn't really make sense either, unless u8_t is a pointer type.
14:05:07 <fizzie> Plain  *(u8_t *)ADDRESS_LITERAL_MACRO  would be quite reasonable, and  ((u8_t *)ADDRESS_LITERAL_MACRO)[64]  wouldn't be too bizarre either, but that's about it.
14:05:47 <fizzie> The type of  (*(u8_t *)ADDRESS_LITERAL_MACRO)  is u8_t (not u8_t *), and it doesn't *sound* like something you can [64], but of course it *could* be.

18:06:57 <mroman> that's because they aren't really practical

18:12:35 <quintopia> boily: have you lost all your creativity? there have been no new vegetables on the wiki in a long time
18:13:08 <mroman> Cyragia: allocate mem on stack
18:13:43 <Cyragia> the allocation isn't really the problem, i could just add a data section to my elf file
18:14:22 <boily> quintopia: I'm background-cogitating on my next one. I still need a way to make it evil. *pouring rain* *thunder* *lightning* *hth*
18:14:36 <mroman> then what's the problem?
18:14:50 <quintopia> boily: what non-evilness have you got
18:15:06 <Cyragia> the problem is, either i put code and data in a single section and just put the variable wherever it is defined (at compile-time), but that's a bit messy
18:15:18 <mroman> https://bitbucket.org/mroman_/emulathor/src/fc48fe22fdade5777099eea372e5f06e2b4d2b2b/src/compiler/rlang.y?at=master <- it's crappy code but it's a working one-pass compiler

18:15:24 <boily> speaking of forth, I remember reading a long tutorial a while ago. it was a text file à la RFC, and had nice ascii diagrams. but I can't find it :(
18:15:54 <mroman> the easiest thing to do for a one-pass is to compile everything the same way imo
18:16:04 <mroman> i.e use push/pop even if it's not necessary
18:16:08 <impomatic> Factor and Retro are pretty much stack based and appear to be popular.
18:16:10 -!- heroux has joined.
18:16:13 <mroman> that way you don't need register allocation or anything like that
18:16:19 <boily> quintopia: splitting the tokens and merging the parts together in a haphazard way. I want to make the whole thing aperiodic tiling.
18:16:27 <Cyragia> I could just give some mem region to the programmer and use something like defines to convert names into addresses
18:16:31 <impomatic> Cyragia: have you seen Mouse? If you like FALSE, you'll probably like Mouse.
18:16:39 <Cyragia> no, I'll check it out
18:17:15 <mroman> ah
18:17:27 <mroman> Cyragia: address resolution is your problem?
18:17:43 <quintopia> boily: one day you should make a metalanguage called "vegetale". instead of a scoping system, it just has "scoping" where you can define how scoping works. instead of a type system, it just has "typesystem" which lets you define your own type system. best language ever.
18:17:45 <mroman> are you compiling to asm?
18:17:52 <Cyragia> yes
18:17:54 <mroman> oh
18:18:02 <mroman> then the assembler can do the adress resolution :D
18:18:07 <Cyragia> straight to an x86 elf file
18:18:11 <mroman> oh
18:18:13 <mroman> ok
18:18:17 <mroman> so no assembler :)

18:19:36 <quintopia> om nom nop
18:19:59 <mroman> Cyragia: Depending on how high-level your language should be you could just give the programmer some memory that is addressable by index

18:20:11 <Cyragia> yeah, i guess i'll do that
18:20:14 <mroman> i.e pushloc index and poploc index
18:20:27 <Cyragia> and just #defines or smth for names
18:20:32 <mroman> which is essentialy mem[index] = pop(); and push(mem[index]);

18:27:13 <Cyragia> mroman: but when i'd just give the programmer a chunk of memory it'd probably be allocated somewhere around here: 0x08048000. so you can't just use 0, 1, 2, ... as addresses
18:34:38 -!- MindlessDrone has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
18:40:48 <mroman> why not?
18:41:02 <mroman> you have to adjust for sizeof of course
18:41:17 <mroman> and you can use an offset
18:41:19 <mroman> what's the problem?
18:41:21 <Cyragia> indeed
18:41:36 <mroman> mov ebx, [mem]
18:41:42 <mroman> mov eax, [ebx+ecx]
18:41:43 <Cyragia> but i also want it to be able to read any regular memory address
18:41:48 <mroman> something like that I guess
18:41:53 <Cyragia> so i can do low-level trickery
18:42:00 <mroman> hm
18:42:02 <mroman> mov ebx, mem actually
18:42:10 <mroman> depending on what assembler syntax you're used to :D
18:42:40 <Cyragia> like: push 0x08048123     (dereference)   voila!
18:43:59 <Cyragia> or i could add the offset to the define and when you puch a regular address it would behave normally
18:44:35 <Cyragia> best of both worlds :)
18:44:56 <mroman> or you just let the programmer use low-level adresses
18:45:05 <mroman> i.e he has to know where his mem stuff is
18:45:17 <mroman> hm. no
18:45:24 <Cyragia> that would be the easiest
18:45:29 <mroman> yeah
18:45:39 <mroman> but how do you tell him where it is?
18:45:52 <Cyragia> but if the offset is something like 0x080484218 it get's quite complicated
18:45:56 <mroman> i mean you could add a command that pushes the offset to the local memory to the stack
18:45:56 <Cyragia> it could be fixed
18:46:04 <quintopia> where are the finns
18:46:09 <mroman> so he can calculate positions of stuff himself
18:46:15 <nortti> quintopia: in finland?
18:46:25 <quintopia> are you a finn nortti 
18:46:28 <nortti> yes
18:46:37 <Cyragia> I'd rather resolve it at compile-time
18:46:46 <quintopia> nortti: what is Topi usually short for
18:47:09 <nortti> I do not think it is an acronym
18:47:14 <quintopia> it's a name
18:47:22 <nortti> yes, it is a man's name
18:47:28 <quintopia> what's it short for
18:47:34 <nortti> nothing?
18:47:40 <quintopia> that's a full name?
18:47:43 <nortti> yes

20:47:23 <mroman> so
20:47:34 <mroman> I can't switch to a different algo if CORESIZE > 800?
20:47:46 <mroman> that seems like an odd restriction
20:47:56 <mroman> but ok
20:48:00 <mroman> I'll submit an imp then :D
20:48:13 <mroman> Everybody should at least submit an imp
20:48:24 <impomatic> mroman: the same program has to do well in each coresize.  Otherwise it might as well be a tournament with three rounds!
20:48:41 <mroman> yeah "the same program"
20:48:53 <mroman> but why forbid if(coresize > 800) jump foo kinda stuff?
20:49:19 <impomatic> It's forbidden because you could just enter three completely different programs:
20:49:24 <impomatic> for CORESIZE == 800
20:49:27 <impomatic> program1
20:49:30 <impomatic> rof
20:49:36 <impomatic> for CORESIZE==8000
20:49:39 <impomatic> program2
20:49:40 <mroman> impomatic: yeah
20:49:42 <impomatic> etc
20:49:47 <mroman> but you're still limited to 25 instructions *TOTAL*
20:49:59 <mroman> so that only leaves 25/4 instructions per "sub"-program
20:50:07 <mroman> hm 25/3 actually
20:50:20 <mroman> minus the overhead for the switch
20:51:36 <impomatic> I have two programs on the most active hill which are only 9 instructions. :-) http://www.koth.org/lcgi-bin/current.pl?hill94nop
20:53:14 <mroman> so
20:53:17 <mroman> you're "inversed"?
20:53:28 <impomatic> No, John M.
20:53:41 <mroman> ah
20:54:30 <mroman> well
20:54:42 <mroman> I guess I should at least submit some two stage bomber
20:55:01 <mroman> my vampire.red is much longer than 25 instructions and I know it sucks
20:55:15 <impomatic> Oneshots are easy to program.  Just a scan loop (e.g.   scan add #step, pointer / jmz.f scan, @pointer) followed by a clear (sequential wipe of memory starting whatever the scan found)
20:55:25 <impomatic> mroman: You wrote a vampire?
20:55:38 <mroman> impomatic: years ago, yes
20:55:51 <impomatic> Is it published?
20:57:32 <mroman> I think i submitted it to some koth.org hill
20:57:38 <mroman> but it performed badly
20:57:49 <impomatic> :-(
20:57:58 <mroman> mostly probably because it was too long and too slow for a vampire
20:58:05 <impomatic> Vampires have had trouble getting on the hills for years.
20:58:44 <mroman> I laid carpets of jmps into a SPL0 loop
20:58:57 <mroman> SPL0 + mem clear
20:59:10 <impomatic> However, a few new tricks have got the back on the hill again over the last few months.
20:59:14 <mroman> so the idea was to trick opponents to jump into my mem clear loop plus slowing them with the spl 0
21:00:22 <impomatic> I assume you have a DAT wipe after you've finished bombing?
21:00:44 <mroman> yeah
21:01:01 <mroman> but I didn't know about fancy ><{} prefixes at that time
21:01:19 <mroman> I didn't know you could copy stuff around and also increment stuff in a single instruction
21:02:04 <mroman> my replicator wasn't much successful too :(
21:02:10 <impomatic> That makes a big difference to the score.
21:03:10 <mroman> 24th is pretty soon though
21:03:19 -!- Patashu has joined.
21:03:39 <mroman> but shouldn't take more than an hour to write a bomber :D
21:04:02 <mroman> I just add an imp as a backup strategy
21:04:09 <mroman> after bombing transform to imp :)
21:04:49 <impomatic> Modern replicators normally run several parallel processes in code similar to   paper spl somewhere, 0   /   mov >paper, }paper   ; all processes run the spl to split to the new copy. Then the run the mov to make the new copy.
21:04:52 <mroman> I don't know what you usually do after bombing?
21:04:54 <mroman> bombing again?
21:05:02 <mroman> with a different offset probably
21:05:21 <mroman> I was just planning to throw spl 0 bombs with a bug offset
21:05:34 <mroman> and then make another bomb run with a slightly smaller offset
21:05:41 <mroman> then make a full mem clear
21:05:42 <mroman> then imp
21:05:43 <mroman> :D
21:05:47 <mroman> *big offset
21:06:06 <impomatic> After bombing (or scanning), clear memory.
21:06:15 <mroman> spl 0 with big offset should catch replicators pretty well I think
21:06:28 <mroman> depending on how big they are and how fast they reproduce
21:08:01 <impomatic> A good 4 instruction clear is d-clear,  SPL #0 / CLEAR MOV BMB, >POINTER / DJN.F CLEAR, >POINTER / BMB DAT 3-POINTER (where pointer is a few instructions before the clear)

12:04:23 <slereah_> Or if it will have to be quantum befunge stuff
12:05:41 <fizzie> Just don't call it "Quantum brainfuck", because there is one already.

12:33:03 <fizzie> (By my logic,  ADD.B #12, SPTR  would add whatever the relative address of SPTR is, to the B field of SPTR, since the source instruction is the current instruction, and .B means B-to-B.)
12:33:21 <mroman> looks like it's ADD.AB indeed

12:36:00 <mroman> SNE #0, @SPTR always doesn't skip
12:36:08 <oerjan> there you go being negative again
12:36:18 <mroman> SNE.B #0, @SPTR always skips
12:36:29 <mroman> no matter if SPTR would point to a non-zero thingy
12:37:47 <mroman> but yeah
12:37:57 <mroman> it should compare the A value with the B value
12:38:09 <mroman> whereas A is immediate zero and B is indirect to the b-field of SPTR
12:38:20 <mroman> that's at least my understanding of what It *should* do
12:44:52 <mroman> this is really stressing me out :(

12:50:24 <mroman> "proceeds with the A-value set to the B-number of the A-instruction"
12:51:00 <mroman> which hopefully is zero for #0
12:52:28 <mroman> "and the B-value set to the B-number of the B-instruction"
12:52:55 <fizzie> If you have XXX #0, YYY, then the B-number of the A-instruction is probably YYY.
12:54:11 <mroman> I thought that's just for XXX FOO, AAA; FOO DAT ZZZZ, YYYY;
12:54:23 <mroman> i.e it reads YYYY from FOO
12:54:28 <mroman> but #0 is an immediate value
12:54:37 <mroman> not a pointer to an instruction 
12:56:10 <mroman> hm
12:56:17 <mroman> have I mixed up SNE with SEQ?
12:56:50 <mroman> wtf
12:57:11 <mroman> SEQ.B @SPTR, #0 
12:57:29 <mroman> :D
12:57:36 <mroman> I'm a freaking moron
12:59:12 <fizzie> #0 is just "this field is zero, and the addressing mode is immediate", AFAIK.
12:59:31 -!- Melvar` has joined.
12:59:35 <fizzie> And "addressing mode is immediate" means the source/destination instruction is the current instruction.
13:00:39 <fizzie> But if you write something like  MOV.BA #1234, FOO  the value 1234 does not have much significance, except just being in that field. It'll still move the value (FOO) from the B-field of that instruction to the B-field of FOO.
13:01:11 <fizzie> Er, I mean, to the A-field of FOO.

13:07:24 <mroman> hm.
13:07:32 <mroman> There's a trick for bounds checking I guess?
13:07:41 <mroman> or hm.
13:07:48 <mroman> The address 0 is the start of my program?
13:07:57 -!- Melvar` has changed nick to Melvar.
13:08:00 <mroman> so If I know my program is 15 instructions long
13:08:09 <mroman> I'd bomb myself if the pointer is smaller 15
13:08:25 -!- idris-bot has joined.
13:08:43 <mroman> is -1 smaller than 0?
13:09:04 <fizzie> All addresses are relative, so 0 is only the start of your program when it's in the first instruction of your program.
13:13:05 <mroman> hm
13:16:06 <fizzie> And if I recall correctly, even in something like  MOV #0, @1; DAT #0, #-1  the number 1 is first relative to that MOV instruction (so points to the DAT), and the -1 is relative to *that* instruction, and so points back to the MOV.

15:48:52 <MDude> Clearly I should make the worst possible combination of shoices for that survey.

15:51:13 <nortti> *together
15:51:38 <Bike> can't, you say? how uncreative
15:51:56 <MDude> That could be even better than left-infinite but crahsing when too far to the right.
15:53:26 <nortti> actually, is there some mathematics that would let one do stuff like "last element of infinite list"
15:54:02 <Bike> not with the ways infinities are usually defined
15:54:20 <Bike> you could have going right wrap to the negative \omega'th cell or something, though
15:55:37 -!- ter2 has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds).
15:56:01 <MDude> You could just emulate it being an infinite distance away by making it a saparate list, with zero being defined at infinitely far to the right?
15:56:34 <Bike> that's pretty much how it works out with surreals, yeah.
15:56:57 <Bike> it even goes both ways, you can have \omega - 1 and so on.
15:57:25 <MDude> I should learn more classes of numbers.
15:57:51 <MDude> Or mroe about them, anyway.

16:04:49 <mroman> you could have < on cell 0 wrap to cell infinity
16:05:24 <mroman> which means you just keep a hold of two lists
16:05:34 <mroman> one that expands to the right and one that expands to the left
16:05:50 <mroman> since there's no way < on the cell infinity can every reach any other cell
16:05:53 <mroman> *ever
16:06:12 <mroman> so essentially that behaves the same way like expanding the tap to the left I think

17:00:00 <myname> that would imply there are people who would actually give their bitcoins away
17:01:13 <zzo38> But it is in exchange for money

17:12:51 <MDude> I know you can buy bitcoins at exchanges.
17:13:13 <Taneb> I should figure out what's going to happen next in the game I'm playing
17:13:19 <MDude> I wouldn't think it'd be hard to set up something that accepts payments and automatically sends them to an adress.
17:13:21 <Taneb> And then have a session
17:13:22 <zzo38> Taneb: What already happened?
17:13:23 <Bike> spoons. all over
17:13:39 <zzo38> MDude: I would want it to be accepting payment in cash, though
17:13:49 <Taneb> zzo38, my character (a pacifist) ended up with a magical tattoo on his chest that the Platinum Empire was going to use as a weapon.
17:14:02 <MDude> I was thinking a website at first, but if you want cash, it could be like a vending machine.
17:14:11 <zzo38> Taneb: If your chest makes you sin, cut it off.
17:14:20 <myname> oh, playing a pacifist may be funny
17:14:23 <Taneb> One of the party was from the Platinum Empire, and was instructed to take it back
17:14:37 <Taneb> Long story short, he and my left arm teleported away
17:14:52 <Taneb> (So now my character's harmless AND armless, heh)
17:15:18 <Taneb> And now the remainder of the party (other than a vampire who ran away) and two new guys made it to the capital of the dwarf kingdom
17:15:25 <Taneb> And me and one of the new people have been arrested.
17:16:04 <myname> Taneb: are you trying to make your party stop if they harm others?
17:16:06 <Taneb> Presumably because the Platinum Empire put a bounty on my head
17:16:22 <Taneb> myname, nah, I'm not a conscientious objector
17:16:42 <Taneb> I just lose all my holy powers if I harm any sapient being
17:16:54 <myname> so it's like "kill whoever you want, i won't do anything"?
17:17:12 <Taneb> Nah, it's like "kill whoever you want, I won't be happy but I might lend a hand"
17:17:25 <myname> what
17:17:34 <Taneb> I just can't directly harm sapient beings
17:18:03 <Taneb> But I can boost and heal my allies
17:18:07 <myname> but your sword might accidentally fall through the eye of one?
17:18:14 <Taneb> I don't have a sword.
17:18:30 <myname> you should've, it could be hillarious
17:18:37 <MDude> I'd think the intent would be a bit more important.
17:18:53 <zzo38> In my game is different, there are some creature I won't want to beat, and won't want to help others to do so, but, other character can do what they might want and I may or may not object, and furthermore my character is not particularly good at combat but can do it somewhat, when such a thing would help to do!!!
17:19:02 <MDude> Like if you sneeze and that causes you to lsoe balance and land on someone, that's not being no-pacifist.
17:19:26 <Taneb> The magical tattoo on my chest has fired once. I don't control it.
17:19:50 <zzo38> I have a feat "favored mercy (aberration)" but it isn't often in use.
17:20:00 <zzo38> Taneb: Then remove the tattoo.
17:20:10 <Taneb> zzo38, I can't
17:20:12 <zzo38> Use knife to cut off the skin if necessary.
17:20:18 <myname> paint over it
17:20:34 <MDude> Invent skin transplants so you can patch up the hole with skin from our butt.
17:20:37 <Taneb> We're on a quest to not let the Platinum Empire get hold of it
17:20:37 <MDude> *your
17:20:38 <zzo38> myname: I won't expect that to work.
17:21:06 <zzo38> Taneb: If you cut it into enough pieces, then perhaps they don't hold of it.
17:21:18 <myname> zzo38: if that's the case, i'd expect every magical tattoo to be some sort of filled circle, because it would be much easier to make
17:21:19 <MDude> Once it's removed, it'll be easier to hidee.
17:21:33 <Taneb> zzo38, that feels too easy story-wise and my character would object
17:21:54 <MDude> Since it's no longer stuck to any one particular body.
17:21:55 <Taneb> MDude, it's also easier to lose
17:22:02 <zzo38> Taneb: O, OK, if your character object then don't do it like that
17:22:21 <myname> kill your character :p
17:22:27 <Taneb> We were going to find some mages who said that they would be able to destroy it but they were all killed
17:22:45 <Taneb> And now we're on the run but also trying to bring down one of the major dwarven banks?
17:22:52 <MDude> Wear something that makes you always hunched over, so the tattoo always points at the ground.
17:23:01 <myname> okay, while we are at it: anyone funny ideas of what to play in shadowrun?
17:23:03 <Taneb> Because one of the party owes them a lot of money
17:23:21 <Taneb> But it seems like the dwarfish nobility beat us to it
17:24:04 <MDude> Someone who thinks the Shadowrun is some kind of event like the running of the bulls, and wants to participate in it.
17:24:14 <Taneb> So now step 1 is reunite the party (we're all on our own and two of us have been arrested)
17:26:24 <MDude> A pixie that rides around in a dwarf-sized mech.
17:26:28 <zzo38> During session 53, maybe I will have to make up something like a Morse-code
17:29:01 <zzo38> Eventually I have to reach one place in Calimshan, and request a Cuban cigar. I have absolutely no use for a Cuban cigar, but apparently it is some kind of password for entering a secret church (it is secret because most people in Calimshan hate it)
17:30:58 <MDude> Do they also hate smoking?
17:31:05 <zzo38> I don't know.
17:31:37 <zzo38> But the place I am requesting it from isn't a store that sells cigars anyways
17:31:58 <zzo38> So it is unlikely that someone would go to ask them for one
17:33:01 <zzo38> With a sufficiently fancy astrolabe with both straight and curved parts, can you calculate cosines with it?
17:34:59 <zzo38> I do also have a holy symbol for the church I am intending to enter, so that might help too
17:35:57 <MDude> I'd think you'd just need something like a scotch yoke.
17:36:08 <zzo38> What is a scotch yoke?
17:36:17 <MDude> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_yoke
17:37:07 <MDude> For cosine instead of sine, you jsut add 90 degrees to the input, right?
17:37:32 <zzo38> Yes, I think so
17:39:02 <zzo38> My character does own a astrolabe

17:48:22 <coppro> nice
17:48:31 <MDude> When I get to building robots, I should remember to make one with a built-in astrolabe.
17:48:49 <zzo38> MDude: OK
17:51:55 <MDude> That's just a thought I was remidned of from talking about astrolabes.
17:52:45 <zzo38> I want to have some SQL extension that you can insert into a virtual table to listen for connections, make connections, accept connections, and to query it for listing them too. One column can tell the SQL statements which are run during such events.
18:00:34 <impomatic> mroman: there are couple of places where your code can be improved if you need any suggestions :-)

18:06:14 <mroman> impomatic: I think I'm open for suggestions :D
18:08:58 <mroman> I think I could scan two locations with the SEQ
18:09:05 <mroman> assuming one location is a DAT #0, #0
18:09:17 <impomatic> mroman: in the clear, you need 3 MOV s instead of MOV.A. That'll increase the score by 20%
18:09:35 <mroman> why?
18:11:33 <mroman> it should do roughly they same thing?
18:11:46 <mroman> or does MOV.A not copy the instruction?

18:17:32 <impomatic> mroman: You can do that by moving SPTR2 to the top and changing QBMP to QBMP DAT #0, #25.  When the wipe is almost finished, QBMP will then overwrite SPTR2, starting the clear again at +25 (just after your warrior)
18:18:22 <kmc> Cuba exists in zzo38's D&D-world?
18:19:38 <Bike> maybe cuban cigars are from cube
18:20:18 <zzo38> kmc: Well, they said about Cuban cigars, at least.
18:20:53 <impomatic> mroman: 3rd improvement, move the SPLB line to just above the CLEAR line.  This will split off lots of processes into the clear, making it more resistant to being hit.

19:49:27 <mroman> I
19:49:42 <mroman> I just pronounce it swissy
19:50:15 <Slereah> nortti : Nobody can
19:50:20 <Slereah> Because Lovecraft didn't give a shit
19:50:38 <Slereah> He didn't even pronounce the crazy names consistently himself
19:51:01 <nortti> well, I can pronounce that
19:51:25 <Slereah> Really from what I can gather
19:51:33 <Slereah> Lovecraft didn't really care much for the mythos
19:51:38 <Slereah> It was mostly flavor text
19:51:49 <Slereah> The point was mostly SPOOKY THINGS
19:51:56 <nortti> yeah
19:52:20 <nortti> although necronomicon was detailed pretty well, to a point where people thought it was real
19:52:23 <Slereah> (also racism)
19:52:40 <Slereah> I have a book of non-fiction texts by Lovecraft
19:52:52 <Slereah> It's pretty funny because he is like the least superstitious guy ever
19:53:07 <Slereah> So seeing people thinking the mythos is real is quite amusing
19:53:21 <Slereah> He was way materialist
19:53:29 <nortti> what is the name of the book?
19:53:43 <Slereah> Fuck, I left it at my parent's house

21:23:17 <shachaf> Does that mean adding a no-op move?
21:23:41 <kmc> yeah
21:23:51 <kmc> it will drop a new tile but it won't move any of the existing ones
21:24:15 <mroman> that's cheating

21:30:38 <kmc> i'm so confused now
21:30:46 <kmc> i probably copied my high score too or something
21:30:55 <kmc> also why is it 2**53... oh
21:30:57 <kmc> oh.
21:31:20 <kmc> :D
21:37:19 <kmc> but you can represent some integers much larger than that in a 64-bit float
21:37:24 <kmc> in particular, you can represent powers of two
21:40:18 <shachaf> There are also other possible representations of tile scores in this game.
21:40:25 <shachaf> I feel like this discussion has been had here before.

06:00:06 <fizzie> I'm not quite sure "biggest-selling instrumental *single*" can really be losslessly translated to "most popular instrumental song".
06:02:43 <fizzie> (Also I don't know about that "only one ever to be certified Platinum" fact, since the database the Wiki'rticle links to gives about 410 results if you ask for type: Standard, format: Single, award: Platinum.)
06:03:45 <Bike> presumably that includes non-instrumentals
06:04:28 <fizzie> Oh, right.
06:05:15 <fizzie> Yeah, I guess all the others have someone warbling.
06:05:19 <Bike> includes such luminaries as GUMMIBAR - I'M A GUMMY BEAR (THE GUMMY BEAR SONG)
06:06:15 <Bike> and bohemian rhapsody, an instrumental of which sounds p. dull
06:07:02 <fizzie> In type: Digital, there's at least one "single" that does platinum.
06:07:32 <fizzie> AIUI, 100 streamings equals one sold copy for determining that.

18:40:23 <fizzie> And I think ICANN frowned on having A/AAAA records on a TLD. Some of the applicants wanted to.
18:40:33 <fizzie> (Technically, you can.)
18:41:05 <fizzie> (Though your users might run into "search suffix added automatically to names with no dots" problems.)
18:42:16 <MDude> I'd like a lot of current browser behavior thrown out anyway.
18:42:49 <fizzie> That might be a system DNS resolver behavior, too.
18:43:46 <fizzie> You can check gTLD applications at https://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus -- and download the public portion, if you're interested about the applicant's plans on whether to allow general registration.
18:44:18 <fizzie> (It's possible that was more or less a requirement for actually getting a "generic word" TLD.)
18:44:35 <elliott> http://ai./
18:45:03 <elliott> I hear there is or was someone who works for that NIC called Ian with the email n@ai. possibly apocryphal
18:45:21 <fizzie> I think I heard about that, too.
18:45:25 <elliott> probably from me.
18:45:30 <elliott> I've relayed it before
18:45:39 <fizzie> Yes, it probably was a #esoteric discussion.
18:45:51 <nooodl> elliott: this is a good url how is it legal
18:46:05 <elliott> nooodl: example.com is actually example.com.
18:46:27 <elliott> and the way DNS works, you resolve foo.bar.com. using bar.com. the same way you resolve bar.com. using com.
18:46:43 <elliott> there's nothing stopping the owner of the .ai ccTLD from putting an A record at the top level, it's just horrendously evil
18:46:53 <elliott> you need the final . because browsers
18:46:57 <elliott> though http://ai/ works in firefox here
18:47:02 <fizzie> I have a feeling ccTLDs may have more latitude there than participants of the gTLD program.
18:47:18 <fizzie> http://blog.towo.eu/a-records-on-top-level-domains/ quite a lot of them actually have/had something.
18:47:31 <nooodl> not in chrome, but i wonder where it's actually looking when i ask it to retrieve http://ai/ then

00:08:45 <shachaf> does it have the equivalent of -fdefer-type-errors
00:08:50 <kmc> no
00:08:53 <kmc> but I keep talking about it
00:08:59 <kmc> less clear what it means in a strict language
00:09:04 <kmc> you could do it on a per-top-level-function basis, though
00:09:12 <kmc> since we don't have type inference between top level functions, anyway
00:09:22 <kmc> shachaf: you should implement it
00:09:25 <shachaf> can't you replace a type error with a call to exit(whatever)
00:09:29 <shachaf> or something like that
00:09:45 <kmc> yeah but in Haskell it will only happen if the value is actually used
00:09:52 <shachaf> or the line the type error is on
00:09:58 <shachaf> well, sure, it won't be as fine-grained
00:10:35 <shachaf> but i think i'm fine with that usually
00:10:54 <kmc> only the finest of grains will do
00:13:37 <Bike> i'm imagining this disablement being like #PRAGMA fuckthisfile
00:13:50 <kmc> #![yolo]
00:14:00 <kmc> it's actually #![warn(warnings)] which is... not the most clear
00:14:21 <kmc> the -Wall equivalent is deny(warnings) aka -D warnings on the command line
00:14:55 <shachaf> is it scoped or just per-file
00:15:56 <Bike> warn(warnings), lol
00:18:16 <Taneb> kmc, type errors on, eg, the wrong side of a conditional can still be deferred?
00:20:02 <kmc> shachaf: all of the warning attributes can be applied to a module or function etc.
00:20:10 <kmc> and you can change the warning handling further within that thing
00:20:22 <kmc> except there's also an attribute to make a warning fatal and forbid making it non-fatal inside

04:49:34 <Positive07> Yeah I come from there... Im quite intrigued by esolangs and looking for ideas for a new one
04:51:36 <quintopia> well, usually people come here because they already have some glimmer of an idea and want some feedback on how to improve it
04:51:57 <quintopia> and some are willing to offer said feedback as long as its not another brainfuck clone :P
04:53:35 <Bike> http://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?sortby=pubdate&hl=en&user=suo5D8wAAAAJ&view_op=list_works roll w/it
04:54:55 <coppro> Positive07: do something involving graph grammars
04:55:15 <quintopia> i like this idea
04:55:40 <quintopia> grammars could be more sophisticated than eodermdrome
04:55:40 <coppro> I mention graph grammars for purely selfish reasons
04:55:55 <Positive07> Yeah have some ideas... gifs qrs and cym plus some instructions, basically you take your code and make qr codes with it then put it into cyan magenta and yellow channels and combine them., do this multiple times andmakes frames of a gif
04:56:49 <quintopia> that sounds less like a language and more like an encoding scheme
04:57:04 <quintopia> but IT HAS POTENTIAL
04:57:19 <Positive07> yeah it is, the language its underneath
04:57:32 <Positive07> also it looks awesome :D
04:58:09 <Positive07> is*

06:33:13 <shachaf> kmc: do you think rustc would be a better place to spend one's time than ghc if one was to work on some compiler
06:33:18 <shachaf> perhaps that's an odd comparison to make
06:35:36 <kmc> bit underspecified
06:35:47 <kmc> it depends on your goals
06:36:30 <kmc> if you want to work on exotic type system features, no
06:37:49 <kmc> it makes sense for me because working on rustc helps me do my job :)
06:37:51 <kmc> maybe I will actually implement loadable warnings

12:15:08 <mroman> wtf is that

12:16:53 <mroman> I guess it's some tab/spaces mixup then
12:17:32 <mroman> yep
12:17:39 <mroman> My editor inserts tabs when I do 4 spaces
12:17:43 <mroman> :(
12:17:59 <oerjan> you can program haskell with that setting.
12:18:03 <oerjan> *cannot
12:18:12 <oerjan> well, technically you can.
12:18:32 <fizzie> You can tune a filesystem, but you can't tunafish.
12:18:32 -!- yorick has joined.
12:18:37 <mroman> you can. It just does'nt work when nesting cases :D
12:18:51 <oerjan> but then you must make sure to _only_ use tabs for indentation, and never do alignment-based layout.
12:19:14 <oerjan> mroman: you know haskell _defines_ tabs as equivalent to 8 spaces, right?
12:19:33 <oerjan> (or precisely, 8 space column fits)
12:19:43 <FireFly> I've seen python code-golfs make use of that
12:19:52 <mroman> oerjan: no. But I know that it's probably a bad idea to mix tabs and spaces since indentation matters
12:20:59 <oerjan> what's your editor.
12:21:11 <mroman> Notepad++
12:21:20 <mroman> or maybe it inserts tabs when pressing enter
12:21:25 <mroman> because it has this auto indentation stuff
12:21:25 * oerjan shifts away carefully
12:21:36 <mroman> yeah
12:21:40 <mroman> not worth discussing it ;)

12:32:17 <oerjan> insane enough that it's a problem for me that google translate italicizes its spell correction suggestions.

13:01:37 <oerjan> or are you saying that all nontermination is trivial, that might be
13:08:30 <mroman> http://codepad.org/dWcrt7fK <- jep, that's pretty much collatz
13:08:49 <oerjan> mroman: you might rewrite your Add as Value $ foldl1' (\qa b -> case eval b r args of Value qb -> qa + qb; _ -> 0) 0 xs, that's slightly different in the case the _first_ list element does not evaluate to a Value but i doubt you really want that corner case anyhow
13:09:21 <oerjan> oops
13:09:28 <oerjan> *foldl' without 1
13:09:49 <mroman> Different how?
13:10:21 <oerjan> your original ignores the value of the second element if the first does not give a Value
13:10:34 <oerjan> *-the value of
13:10:58 <mroman> ah. yeah
13:11:30 <mroman> I probably should error instead of Value 0 anyway
13:12:28 <oerjan> are args always Values?
13:12:41 <mroman> no
13:12:47 <oerjan> ok
13:12:58 <mroman> i.e Add [Mul [Value 3, Get 0], Value 1]
13:13:03 <oerjan> because that was the only way i could see your eval not giving a Value
13:13:03 <mroman> there's an expression as an argument
13:13:31 <mroman> oh
13:13:34 <mroman> you mean something else
13:13:35 <oerjan> (i mean if it doesn't have to be)
13:13:50 <mroman> I wan't to add some rewrite stuff too later
13:13:56 <mroman> *want
13:13:58 <oerjan> ok
13:14:04 <mroman> which means that eval can return expressions too
13:14:24 <oerjan> ok well since you can express collatz it's definitely not primitive recursion.
13:20:24 <oerjan> if you error out it would probably be simpler to separate the folding and the evaluation: Value . foldl1' (+) $ map (\x -> evalToValue x r args) xs
13:21:10 <oerjan> although that could leak if you make it monadic later.

15:42:40 <mroman> Can I somehow find out in which commit a certain directory was deleted and recover it with git?
15:43:24 <not^v> not specifically no, you will have to scrape commits manually
15:43:53 <not^v> you can make a program to use the github api to find the last time something was modified
15:46:15 <mroman> this is bullshit
15:46:23 <mroman> why the hell am I even using a version control system
15:46:34 <`^_^v> if you know a file in the directory, you can do git log -- directory/file
15:46:41 <mroman> it's write once revert never
15:46:58 <`^_^v> i dont think git "tracks" just the directories
15:47:16 <`^_^v> well i guess it does
15:47:21 <`^_^v> but there have to be files in it
15:47:39 <`^_^v> i think git log -- directory would work
15:48:05 <mroman> I think checkout a certain commit should do it
15:49:18 <`^_^v> to recover the actual file, you can checkout or show with the commit hash

18:49:53 <mroman> If you write a pseudocode compiler
18:49:57 <mroman> it's not pseudocode anymore
18:50:14 <mroman> all programs that compile with your compiler would have to be rewritten

18:52:28 <Slereah> But what if I write a compiler for that other languag D:
18:54:06 <MDude> That reminds me that I'd like to make something that works like a natural language translater, but train it to attempt to turn an informal language into something that can be compiled or interpreted.

19:07:46 <FireFly> http://www.osmosian.com/ works too
19:07:57 <Slereah> The older version had more content though
19:08:02 <FireFly> ah

19:08:33 <Slereah> Because he wants to sell it, no doubt

19:08:42 <Slereah> And I have it

19:10:08 <Slereah> Well
19:10:14 <Slereah> it's a programming language
19:10:19 <Slereah> And it does compile
19:10:25 <Slereah> I can't vouch for how well it works
19:10:53 <FireFly> Have you tried compiling their sample draw-anything-you-can-name-in-the-style-of-Claude-Monet program?
19:11:04 <Slereah> I forget
19:11:11 <Slereah> But all that program does is
19:11:23 <Slereah> It googles "Monet" and put up a picture 
19:11:42 <Slereah> In the hope that it's not porn, perhaps
19:11:56 <FireFly> What if I want porn in the style of Claude Monet?

21:13:11 <madbr> hm, I wonder how much data you could squeeze into a huge 2d barcode
21:14:50 <FreeFull> It depends
21:14:58 <FreeFull> You have to be error resistant
21:15:20 <madbr> something you could successfully scan with a cheap CCD (cell phone cam)
21:15:34 <FreeFull> http://ronja.twibright.com/optar/ This works for black-and-white

21:15:44 -!- Patashu has quit (Disconnected by services).
21:15:56 <madbr> given optimal camera position and a barcode printed with a good process (possibly in color even)
21:15:57 <FreeFull> optar probably requires a scanner for any large amount of data though
21:16:16 <madbr> "Optar fits 200kB on an A4 page"
21:19:12 <madbr> hmm
21:19:25 <FreeFull> You can probably fit more if you're smarter
21:20:14 <madbr> yeah but it probably has to be resilient to being photographied at unfavorable angles
21:20:23 <madbr> like having some perspective in the shot
21:20:34 <Bike> probably want some error correction, too.
21:20:46 <madbr> yeah it will need heavy error correction
21:21:06 <madbr> on the other hand it can probably be in color
21:21:48 <Bike> that makes things dependent on the ambient lighting, in addition to positioning.
21:22:04 <madbr> true
21:22:24 <madbr> but ambient lighting effects will probably have a low frequency
21:22:59 <madbr> ie will be roughly the same for a whole block of, say, 32x32 pixels
21:23:16 <Bike> optimistic.
21:24:07 <madbr> also, the camera can probably have a flash
21:24:56 <madbr> which means that if most of the light contribution comes from the flash it should have roughly consistent color temperature
21:25:28 <madbr> otoh you'd have to compensate for stuff like ink gamut (damn you cmyk)
21:26:13 <madbr> or you could use color as a secondary data channel
21:26:21 <madbr> for synchronization and error correction

21:30:40 <mroman> hm
21:30:42 <mroman> I suck at math
21:30:50 <madbr> it could probably use very high dpi commercial printing
21:30:52 <mroman> but bits / cm^2 looks good
21:31:03 <mroman> so 2626 Bits per cm^2
21:31:12 <mroman> that's pretty good I think

21:33:14 <madbr> use local maxima as white, local minima as black, then find a local 100% cyan pixel, use that as cyan maxima, repeat for yellow, magenta, red, green and blue
21:33:42 <madbr> build some kind of matrix to reverse the effect of the color shift
21:35:22 <madbr> or you could stay b&w and increase dpi instead, but then you need more printing dpi and a better camera
21:36:27 <madbr> there's also the issue that the user might incorrectly orient the camera and miss a part of the barcode
21:36:29 <int-e> 25.6 bits per square mm; 0.2mmx0.2mm pixels (since apparently they don't include error correction in their numbers)
21:37:33 <madbr> makes sense, it's printed at 200dpi (0.127mm)
21:38:27 <fizzie> There are a couple of color 2D barcode standards.
21:39:04 <fizzie> Like the Microsoft Tag.
21:39:24 <madbr> yeah but they're designed to fit in an url
21:39:29 <madbr> (low bandwidth)
21:39:43 <int-e> I should read more carefully. "That corresponds to 200kB per page when taking overhead into account."
21:41:57 <fizzie> HCCB's goal for the colors is to improve density compared to black-and-white, though.
21:42:14 <fizzie> "Currently laboratory tests have yielded using eight colors, 2,000 binary bytes, or 3,500 alphabetical characters per square inch in its highest density form using a 600dpi business card scanner."
21:43:14 <fizzie> 2000 bytes per square inch is... 2480 bits per square centimetre, I guess.
21:44:18 <int-e> > 8/2.54^2
21:44:20 <lambdabot>  1.24000248000496
21:44:24 <int-e> amazing
21:46:55 <madbr> considering a sheet of paper has something like 80~ usable square inches if you count margins (8½ x 11) that's something like 160kb for the whole page

22:05:49 <int-e> oh, this one is good. "Reducing the space necessary to keep accounting records that are mandatory to be kept on paper"
22:07:12 <Bike> ha
22:07:51 <madbr> would it make sense to print at very high dpi in color, and then apply a very aggressive error correction algo so that even if over half of the data or more is lost, you still get the correct output?<
22:09:16 <MDude> Print it as a hologram on a sheet of acrylic.
22:10:09 <madbr> you can't scan that with a CCD camera :D
22:10:32 <MDude> Not in a single pass.
22:10:44 -!- b_jonas has joined.
22:11:40 <MDude> The scanning program could ask you to look at it form different angles until the file is read, though.
22:12:13 <madbr> it has to be more practical than just putting a QR code as an URL and getting the data off of wireless internet
22:12:34 <madbr> also it would be easier to just print multiple pages of data
22:14:08 <int-e> I wonder whether the QR-style synchronization pattern (concentric squares) is superior to the checkerboard pattern or not ...
22:14:31 <MDude> Just get a high DPI printer and print it normally several times over.
22:14:38 <MDude> But tiny.
22:14:38 <int-e> (and I'm afraid that the answer will depend on the printer)
22:15:07 <MDude> Then when you scan it, take the bitmaps of the different versions and do a majority vote per pixel.
22:16:55 <MDude> Plus overhead for getting it lined up.
22:17:06 <oerjan> <Bike> no, that is the correct link. <-- absolutely
22:17:09 <madbr> another issue is, what if the picture is taken too far away, then the data will be too small and won't scan okay
22:17:47 <MDude> Give you user a telescoping camera lens.
22:17:50 <MDude> *the user
22:18:35 <MDude> It's not like you'd expect to be reading office document from far away to begin with.
22:18:40 <MDude> *documents
22:20:18 <madbr> well, it can't be further away than about a meter
22:21:29 <madbr> but it can probably be like 10cm away

22:39:00 <madbr> maybe you could overlay the data 4 times (in a 2x2 grid) at high DPI, and then once at lower DPI
22:39:29 <madbr> so that if the shot is too close and part of the data is missing, you can still recover it
22:39:52 <madbr> and if it's too far, then you have the whole frame and you can use the low DPI data

01:07:30 <kmc> wow.  I have a function that does  assert!(self.foo.is_none())  and another which sets  self.foo = Some(x),  but the latter function is never called, so rustc warns me that the assert is dead code

01:32:10 <Sgeo> Well, that's interesting as a record of historical mistakes. Does it explain the mistakes and where they're found and how they came about?

01:34:07 <Bike> i'm continually amused by how ahistorical the sciences are
01:34:20 <kmc> macros are the reason my tokenizer is 900 lines instead of 6,000 like the others

01:43:55 <Sgeo> If the canvas has no pixels (i.e. either its horizontal dimension or its vertical dimension is zero) then the method must return the string "data:,". (This is the shortest data: URL; it represents the empty string in a text/plain resource.)
01:43:56 <Sgeo> wat
01:44:22 <Sgeo> ...why would you want to do that instead of a 0 size png resource?
01:45:45 <Bike> maybe the canvas is resizeable
01:46:16 <Sgeo> I meant why give a text/plain for an image just because it's weird

07:23:20 <lifthrasiir> I'm not sure
07:23:31 -!- slereah_ has joined.
07:23:35 <lifthrasiir> but in my opinion that has to be handled automatically
07:25:37 <kmc> how would you do it?
07:27:50 <lifthrasiir> kmc: parse the code, read metadata for each `extern crate` item present, load the syntax extensions (#[macro_export] or #[macro_registrar]) if the crate is marked to provide such things, then expand macros.
07:28:37 <lifthrasiir> it does have a disadvantage on the error reporting though
07:29:21 <kmc> what's that?
07:30:35 <lifthrasiir> well, loadable syntax extensions with #[macro_registrar] should be compiled as dylib, but there would be no error message when the user failed or forgot to compile that dylib
07:30:55 <lifthrasiir> and the user will be met with a useless error message that a certain syntax extension is not available
07:31:08 <lifthrasiir> s/useless/less-than-optimal/
07:31:56 <kmc> rustc should warn if you build a crate with a #[macro_registrar] as anything other than a dylib
07:32:38 <lifthrasiir> technically it can be built as rlib, but yeah, it is not a good choice to do so
07:33:07 <kmc> you can't use the syntax extensions if it's an rlib, right?
07:33:57 <lifthrasiir> yes, but it *can* be usable when #[phase(syntax,link)] is in use
07:34:23 <lifthrasiir> (but it will also push a libsyntax dependency to the compiled binary, which is why it is discouraged)
07:35:09 <kmc> if you need to support an rlib build you could do something like  #[cfg(dylib)] #[macro_registrar] ...
07:35:17 <kmc> (I don't know if that's a real cfg option but it could exist, anyway)
07:35:21 <lifthrasiir> that sounds doable :)
07:35:43 <kmc> also I think it is useful to build libraries that some consumers will load at link phase and others not
07:36:00 <kmc> so probably it should only infer from metadata if no #[phase(...)] attribute is present
07:36:50 <lifthrasiir> kmc: so that the ordinary #[macro_export] wouldn't need #[phase] but #[macro_registrar] would?
07:37:10 <kmc> i hadn't considered that
07:37:22 <kmc> I was just thinking you could do  #[phase(link)] extern crate foo;
07:37:28 -!- shikhin has joined.
07:37:58 <lifthrasiir> and #![feature(phase)] :p
07:38:15 <lifthrasiir> well, anyway
07:38:20 <kmc> er, I meant "some consumers will load at syntax phase and others not"
07:38:26 <kmc> but I guess you might want both
07:38:33 <lifthrasiir> ah?
07:39:04 <kmc> I have considered (but haven't implemented) macros where the registrar does some non-trivial initialization
07:39:12 <kmc> which might be expensive or depend on external resources that are not always present
07:39:57 <lifthrasiir> kmc: something like, well, sfackler's phf/phf_mac crates?
07:40:18 <kmc> you mean that you can avoid this by splitting the macros into their own crate?
07:40:23 <kmc> that's true, but it might be undesirable for other reasons
07:40:29 <kmc> i'm not sure really
07:40:52 <lifthrasiir> I do think, under your suggestion to use #[cfg(dylib)], they can be merged
07:41:21 -!- constant has changed nick to trout.
07:41:31 <kmc> it's also good not to have the macros bloating the library at runtime, but that shouldn't matter much with demand paging
07:43:20 <kmc> of course if you want to use those same macros in implementing the runtime part of the library, you will need two crates
07:44:18 <kmc> I can imagine having a crate for the runtime part of the library, a crate for private macros to be used in implementing the library, and another crate for macros intended for use by library consumers
07:44:27 <olsner> demand paging only really helps if you have at least 4kB of garbage and it gets put together in the same page
07:44:29 <olsner> but dead code stripping should get rid of it?
07:44:52 <kmc> since there's no way to control the scope of macros with granularity finer than a crate
07:45:20 <kmc> olsner: only link-time dead code stripping
07:45:31 <kmc> which isn't too hard for static linking
07:47:06 <kmc> but can't be done for dynamic linking afaik
07:47:59 <kmc> you could also build the same crate multiple times with different cfg options for each of those roles
07:48:04 <kmc> it doesn't seem like a good idea, though

08:28:53 <slereah_> Oh
08:29:09 <slereah_> Is ~ faster than !?
08:29:10 <fizzie> I don't think I've seen that anywhere either.
08:29:21 <fizzie> It's not the same as !.
08:29:26 <scoofy> uses the fact that bitise inverse is negative of number minus 1
08:29:40 <scoofy> so ~0 = -1
08:29:50 <slereah_> But it is unsigned
08:30:20 <fizzie> ~0 is kind of unrelated.
08:30:50 <fizzie> Well, I guess it's related the other way around, from ~-1 == 0.
08:30:54 <scoofy> ~(4294967295) == 0
08:31:06 <kmc> is ~-1 defined by the spec?
08:31:13 <fizzie> (Or ~UINT_MAX for that.)
08:31:24 <scoofy> well it also works with (signed int)
08:31:24 <fizzie> No, it was just a simplification.
08:31:26 <scoofy> doesn't matter
08:31:27 <kmc> it seems like you couldn't define it without assuming a particular sign representation
08:31:35 <scoofy> ~0 = -1 (which is 'true')
08:31:42 <scoofy> ~(-1) = 0 (which is 'false')
08:31:51 <slereah_> Isn't 0-- undefined behaviour for unsigned ints?
08:32:00 <kmc> no, only for signed
08:32:10 <slereah_> Whaaat
08:32:15 <slereah_> 0-- for signed is just -1
08:32:28 <kmc> unsigned ints are defined to wrap around, which is how you know the number before 0 is ~0
08:32:45 <kmc> (whether or not it has the same representation as the signed integer -1 is not defined, though)
08:33:09 <scoofy> signed integer '-1' not defined? how does that make sense
08:33:27 <fizzie> I assume that was in re INT_MIN minus one.
08:33:28 <scoofy> there's no wrap around involved
08:33:33 <scoofy> there's no INT_MIN
08:33:35 <scoofy> in the signed case
08:33:39 <scoofy> involved
08:33:51 <scoofy> it counts down from 14 to 0, ~i counts up from -15 to -1
08:33:56 <kmc> scoofy: whether ((unsigned int) ~0) and ((signed int) -1) are the same bytes in memory is undefined
08:33:58 <scoofy> there's no wrap around
08:34:04 <fizzie> Yes, I don't think it was any longer in that context.
08:34:07 <scoofy> that's not the question 
08:34:49 <kmc> i see
08:34:50 <scoofy> assuming twos complement, ~i = (-i)-1
08:34:51 <fizzie> And the signed int version clearly isn't guaranteed to work, since integer representation isn't fixed.
08:35:08 <kmc> if I used that idiom I would worry that someone (including me) would copy it and use it for a signed integer
08:35:20 <scoofy> kmc, you _can_ use it for a signed int
08:35:52 <scoofy> you can try yourself
08:35:52 <scoofy> http://morpheus.spectralhead.com/s/cnt.c.txt
08:36:11 <scoofy> does the same as the unsigned one
08:36:13 <fizzie> Sure, if you don't mind it working differently depending on the signed integer representation.
08:36:16 <kmc> did you try it on a machine which is not 2's complement
08:36:21 <scoofy> nope, and it would not work there
08:36:26 <kmc> right, so it's not a C idiom
08:36:34 <kmc> it's undefined behavior which happens to work in certain C compilers
08:36:39 <scoofy> we're spekaing about the (signed) case
08:36:45 <scoofy> the original code used (unsigned int)
08:36:55 <kmc> but compilers can and do optimize under the assumption that signed integer overflow/underflow does not happen
08:37:13 <scoofy> there's no overflow/underflow involved, as i understand
08:37:18 <scoofy> it's a binary negation
08:38:22 <kmc> if I rewrite the loop as  for (i = 14; i != 0xFFFFFFFF; i--)  is it more clear why there is underflow occurring?
08:38:45 <scoofy> ok, i see what you mean
08:38:53 <scoofy> but the underflow occurs only in the unsigned case
08:38:55 <scoofy> not in the signed case
08:38:59 <kmc> ...true
08:39:19 <kmc> so I'm wondering if ~-1 is also UB
08:39:28 <fizzie> It's also not underflow, technically.
08:40:27 <fizzie> You can only get underflow with floats.
08:40:37 <fizzie> And it's not overflow either, if you go by the C standard definitions of those terms.
08:41:02 <kmc> 0-1 isn't overflow?
08:41:29 <fizzie> No, though only as a matter of definition.
08:41:38 <kmc> C is weird -_-
08:41:40 <fizzie> "A computation involving unsigned integers can never overflow, because a result that cannot be represented is reduced modulo [etc.]"
08:41:49 <kmc> yeah, okay
08:42:08 <fizzie> (C11 6.2.5p9)
08:43:39 <scoofy> what does the standard say about ((unsigned int)0)-1 ?
08:44:44 <fizzie> What I just quoted, after converting the 1 to unsigned int too.
08:47:01 <fizzie> As for ~ on signed integers, I don't think it's necessarily undefined (it's defined in terms of what happens to the bits, not in terms of the value), though with the two other signed-integer representations it might result in a trap representation if applied to 0.
08:47:31 <kmc> the C spec gives only three options for signed integers?
08:47:45 <fizzie> Nowadays, yes.
08:47:51 <fizzie> Where "nowadays" means C99.
08:47:56 <kmc> interesting
08:47:59 <fizzie> From what I recall, it was more open in C89.
08:48:16 <kmc> but signed overflow is still UB (and not implementation-defined to be one of those three) because it was UB in C89?
08:48:42 <fizzie> I wouldn't know about "because", but it's explicitly UB.
08:49:21 <kmc> the options are 2's complement, 1's complement, and sign bit?
08:49:33 <fizzie> Yes, unsurprisingly.
08:50:07 <mroman> still UB? :(
08:50:32 <scoofy> C defines lots of things as UB
08:50:51 <Taneb> Last night I saw a poster promoting Asexual Awareness Week
08:50:53 <fizzie> I have a feeling the signed overflow is UB to cater for (real or hypothetical) machines where signed-integer arithmetic traps on overflow rather than doing something else.
08:50:57 <Taneb> Asexual Awareness Week was in October
08:51:21 <kmc> fizzie: ah, interesting
08:51:42 <kmc> Taneb: poster-posting is a tragedy of the commons
08:51:46 <kmc> or maybe it's the same week every year?
08:52:23 <Taneb> It just had some variant of "Be aware of asexuals! It's asexual awareness week"
08:52:30 <Taneb> Without any reference to the date
08:52:35 <Taneb> I think I spotted it in the actual week
08:53:38 <fizzie> If it's written exactly like that, I'd get the feeling that it's trying to warn people about a danger.
08:53:51 <Taneb> fizzie, it's written substantially friendlier
08:54:49 <fizzie> One of our "miscellaneous stuff" boards was advertising a proofreading service with the slogan "the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit".

09:08:35 <scoofy> why should i care if someone is asexual?
09:08:55 <scoofy> i mean, why would it need to have an 'awareness week' for that?
09:09:39 <slereah_> In case you want to fuck them?
09:11:38 <Taneb> scoofy, I think it's more being aware that such people exist
09:11:43 <Taneb> Rather than any specific examples
09:11:53 <scoofy> ok, they exist. so?
09:12:04 <Taneb> Appreciate it.
09:12:09 <Taneb> Beyond that, nothing.
09:12:24 <scoofy> there should be 'gay unicorn awaress week'
09:12:28 <scoofy> just to appreciate it
09:12:33 <Taneb> I am not aware of gay unicorns
09:12:40 <scoofy> see? that's the whole point!

09:14:06 <Taneb> Yes. I am entirely plastic from the knees down.
09:14:38 <kmc> I kind of want to give a serious answer to scoofy's question, but I kind of would rather stab myself in the balls with broken glass than start a discussion on the subject of identity politics at 2 AM when I should already be asleep
09:14:52 <kmc> so maybe tomorrow
09:14:56 <scoofy> kmc, then you'd become asexual, i guess...

15:09:29 <mroman> I was recently thinking about an esolang where the concept of storage is somewhat based on time
15:09:53 <mroman> There's no storage except old states of the program
15:09:54 <slereah_> I had that idea once
15:10:00 <slereah_> Except it was
15:10:05 <slereah_> Instead of memory cells
15:10:06 <slereah_> Clocks
15:10:14 <mroman> I.e. for a brainfuck derivative that would mean, that you have one cell
15:10:23 <mroman> and everytime you change the cell it's previous state is recorded
15:10:23 <slereah_> And the instructions were either waiting or store the current time
15:10:27 <slereah_> As you can imagine
15:10:27 <mroman> and you can access past states
15:10:32 <slereah_> It was not very practical
15:11:35 <mroman> I.e. (where r reads a past state and <,> travel around the time) ++<<r would set the cell to zero again
15:11:39 <mroman> (assuming inital state was zero)

16:10:55 <mroman> MDude: I'm assuming recursion doesn't count?
16:11:07 <mroman> but yeah, especially string replacement languages work like that I think
16:11:33 <MDude> It only counts if it only happens once, at the end.
16:11:52 <mroman> so you can only execute the same code twice at most?
16:12:04 <MDude> Er, no.
16:12:10 <MDude> I mean if the command only appears once.
16:12:17 <mroman> ah
16:12:17 <mroman> ok
16:12:32 <mroman> so restricted tail recursion is ok
16:13:55 <mroman> http://esolangs.org/wiki//// <- maybe
16:15:52 <MDude> Alright, so I think none of them are quite what I was thinking.
16:16:09 <mroman> If you have state you can do stuff like
16:16:26 <mroman> IF state == 0 THEN doThat; ELSEIF state == 1 THEN doThat ELSE STARTFROMBEGINNING
16:16:57 <mroman> which means you can set what to do next etc.
16:18:50 <mroman> That's essentially the trick I'm using for my thingy here which allows only one function and recursion
16:19:13 <MDude> I think that's neat too, though a different idea, in that IF is a kind of flow control.
16:19:40 <mroman> it is.
16:20:38 <nortti> did I misunderstand or will start from beginning only run in case state is a var that does not cause any computation?
16:21:13 <nortti> thus, resulting in either one-cycle programs or those that loop infinetely and do nothing
16:21:38 <MDude> State might not be a boolean, in which case it'll go to the start if it's more than 1.
16:21:53 -!- mhi^ has joined.
16:22:13 <nortti> and then run through the same if-thingie again, yet again jumping to start
16:22:24 <nortti> or is that only part of the code?
16:22:43 <MDude> I actually think a system like that could effectively run loops.
16:22:59 <MDude> Just use if statments to skip everything but the loop while it's running.
16:24:38 -!- FreeFull has joined.
16:25:04 <MDude> Emulating loops like that might actually be kind of useful for something like keeping a hung script from freezing the whole browser.
16:26:05 <MDude> Since even if it's stuck in a loop, each cycle of it is followed by a pause while the rest of the browser does its thing.
16:26:25 <nortti> sounds like a co-operatively multitasking system
16:26:36 <MDude> Yes.
16:27:05 <MDude> The problem is that programs aren't made to cooperate for some reason?
16:27:26 <MDude> Because browsing locking themselves up is entirely something that happens.
16:27:57 <nortti> even with threaded browsers on pre-emptive multitask systems
16:28:26 <MDude> I'll just go make co-operatively multitasked EMCAscript sometime or something.
16:28:53 <nortti> impl?
16:29:04 <nortti> *implementation
16:29:58 <MDude> I guess? I don't think I could do that soon, I haven't really been that great at coding.
16:30:42 <MDude> Could try just writing the actual scripts with that resctriction, though.
16:32:31 <FreeFull> MDude: Browsers are made to make javascript go as fast as possible
16:33:24 <MDude> Yes.
16:33:31 <MDude> And I disagree with that design choice.
16:35:25 <nortti> well, for replacing native code, it is kinda necessary. on the merits of replacing native code with a language with so 'interesting' as js may be debated, but js-heavy sites/browsers apps are here to stay
16:35:45 <nortti> +'features'

19:53:36 <kmc> scoofy: I think the point of asexual awareness week is e.g. to convince people that, if someone tells you they're asexual, you shouldn't respond by saying they just haven't found the right person yet
19:53:59 <kmc> just like you wouldn't tell a gay man that he hasn't met the right woman yet
19:55:13 <kmc> those sorts of attitudes towards asexual people are pretty common
19:55:24 <kmc> even (especially?) among people who are okay with every kind of weird sex under the sun
19:55:41 <shachaf> that seems like a pretty bizarre response
19:55:58 <Taneb> shachaf, I've had that response in the past
19:57:19 <kmc> scoofy: if you don't have those kinds of attitudes then yeah, there is probably no reason for you to be especially aware of asexual people during asexual awareness week
19:57:47 <kmc> I've come to realize that an endless push for More Awareness on things I already pretty much understand has actually been quite harmful to me
20:00:52 <mroman> kmc: there are probably soooo many things one should be aware of and how one shouldn't respond to certain things
20:01:08 <mroman> that it's kinda weird to expect everybody to know all these things
20:01:14 <MDude> I wouldn't expect people to be particularly reactive to asexuals.
20:01:38 <MDude> I mean, most people only get in a relationship with one person at a time.
20:02:19 <MDude> Being in no relationships at a time doesn't really change much other than reducing the already low chance that said relationship is with you.

20:07:20 <kmc> you hear this a lot... "i don't think women would really end up in that position"  "i don't think someone would mention race in that situation"

20:09:02 <mroman> So far I've only heard people talking about depressive persons
20:09:16 <mroman> like "they're pathetic. Everyday is a new day. They just gotta man-up"
20:09:16 <MDude> Oh I'm sure people sya dumb things all the time, they do that regardless of subject matter.
20:09:35 <kmc> for people who do like sex, it often seems like such a wonderful and important part of life that they have a hard time relating to someone who just doesn't like it

20:13:19 <mroman> first hand, actually
20:14:44 <MDude> Hmmm. I wonder if 5command only outputs the tape at the end of the program, or if it outputs after each step.
20:14:48 <kmc> this is a tricky one
20:15:04 <MDude> If the latter, I don't see why there's a no-op.
20:15:23 <kmc> I have much first-hand experience as well, and I would say that there is a kernel of truth to "every day is a new day, you have to make an attempt"
20:15:52 <kmc> you do have to make an attempt to feel better, it's just really really hard for reasons that are opaque to people who haven't experienced depression
20:16:02 <mroman> kmc: Yes. It has some thruth.
20:16:09 <kmc> and you have to forgive yourself for utterly failing at the most basic attempts
20:16:12 <mroman> but only because tomorrow exists
20:16:15 <kmc> or else it's just a downward spiral
20:16:38 <kmc> "every day is a new day" works the other way too, sometimes I'll feel great and then go to sleep and wake up feeling like shit
20:16:48 <kmc> makes me want to stay up as long as possible when I'm in a good mood

20:17:51 <mroman> usually you just wan't the day to be over
20:18:03 <mroman> like... ideally you would sleep like 22h hours a day
20:18:15 <mroman> sadly that's not possible (yet)
20:18:38 <Phantom_Hoover> no, what you have to do is stutter in and out of sleep until you wake up feeling great
20:18:59 <mroman> there's no such thing as waking up feeling great
20:19:19 <MDude> Then peak antisadness.
20:19:38 <mroman> If I could choose I wouldn't even wanna wake up
20:20:39 <mroman> I sometimes feel like being depressive is the natural state
20:21:02 <mroman> and everybody else has some weird sickness that makes them ignore things

20:26:05 <int-e> tromp_: phew, I've finally shown to my satisfaction that the CPS step in the factorial derivation works. It's actually quite nasty, because of the contravariant nature of the transformation. So I ended up doing it in two steps, the first of which uses the (contravariant) identity  g (f^n x) = (. f)^n g x, while the second one converts between ((a -> b -> r) -> r) -> r and a -> b -> r.

20:27:39 <MDude> Oh ok, I was going to say biopsies are probably seen as healers even though they only diagnose.
20:28:33 <int-e> on a lighter note, being depressed doesn't mean that the world is not going to hell.
20:29:52 <mroman> ?
20:29:53 <kmc> as far as I can tell, there are a bunch of different things that help different people to varying degrees
20:29:59 <kmc> including drugs (prescription and otherwise)
20:30:05 <kmc> none of them are going to "heal" you
20:30:42 <kmc> I have been doing a number of these things, especially since the beginning of this year, and I do feel significantly better now
20:30:50 <kmc> but who can say whether I would have felt better without any of it
20:31:05 <kmc> or whether the things are arbitrary and it's the doing something that's alleged to make you feel better that makes me feel better
20:32:05 <kmc> I find it comforting to remember that, in terms of the ancestral environment, we are all really really far from home and nobody has a fucking clue how anything in the world works or what will happen next
20:33:20 <kmc> and nothing is at steady state

20:35:15 <kmc> this whole human thing is an out of control chain reaction that started just moments ago in evolutionary (let alone cosmological) time
20:35:38 <mroman> Yeah.
20:35:45 <kmc> enjoy the ride, keep your arms inside the vehicle at all times
20:35:49 <mroman> But why do I have to suffer just because evolution did some things?
20:35:56 <tswett> I wanna create a Brainfuck variant where the tape has 0s and 1s, initially all 0s, which has the property that if you change a 0 to a 1 during execution of the program, this doesn't result in a 1 becoming a 0 further down the line.
20:36:14 <mroman> It's hard to justify it I think.
20:36:22 <kmc> mroman: there is no answer to that question
20:36:27 <MDude> So you want to make a write-once memory system?
20:36:27 <kmc> which is a hard pill to swallow
20:36:46 <MDude> Or can 1s become zeroes, but only invariantly?
20:36:58 <mroman> and considering that religions were pretty much wrong
20:36:58 <kmc> another thought I had recently is: the comfort of knowing that even if your life does have some meaning, you will never ever figure out what it is
20:37:04 <tswett> Ones could potentially become zeroes invariantly.
20:37:06 <mroman> and there's really *nothing* after death
20:37:13 <mroman> than it doesn't really matter anyway
20:37:14 <zzo38> tswett: I think there is a Turing-complete system where marked cells never become unmarked later on.
20:37:17 <mroman> *then
20:37:45 <tswett> zzo38: yeah, but you can still do X if a cell contains 0 and Y if a cell contains 1, such that X results in 1s being in places where Y wouldn't have them.
20:37:46 <mroman> *if religions were wrong
20:37:55 <tswett> Like, essentially, the only thing that should be impossible is doing a "not".
20:38:19 <mroman> If I hadn't been brainwashed as a kid to christianity to some degree chances are pretty high I wouldn't be here right now
20:38:27 <zzo38> Yes you can still have decision like that
20:38:58 <tswett> So, much of it can remain the same. + sets a cell to 1, - sets a cell to 0, < and > move left and right.
20:38:59 <kmc> mroman: sure, it doesn't matter, the same way the outcome of a game doesn't matter, but you can still have fun playing
20:39:03 <kmc> I don't totally endorse that view though
20:39:12 <kmc> and I know firsthand that this kind of existentialism 101 is not really that comforting
20:39:16 <kmc> but I don't have a better answer
20:39:25 <mroman> as far as I see it I can't win the game anymore
20:39:37 <MDude> I like to think of purpose being a result of life, rather than the oter way around.
20:39:43 <mroman> which makes playing it rather annoying than fun
20:39:49 <zzo38> mroman: Some people may like to be Christian, and some people aren't; I don't have a problem with that in general. Believe what you like; some things are unknowable, and some things it isn't even meaningful to say is one way or another.
20:39:53 <kmc> you can't win at tetris either
20:39:55 <mroman> although I can't tell you what I'd consider "winning the game"
20:39:57 <zzo38> What game you can't win anymore?
20:40:09 <MDude> As in, purpose is defined, directly or inderectly, by what a living thing cares about.
20:40:15 <kmc> maybe that's why I spent so much time playing tetris and thinking about existentialism as a kid
20:40:18 <kmc> now I play 2048 instead
20:40:30 <kmc> which one can win but only in a meaningless way
20:40:46 <int-e> by reaching 8192?
20:40:46 <mroman> zzo38: I was raised christian. That leaves traces.
20:40:57 <mroman> If I were raised an atheist I think i'd be 100% certain that there's nothing after death
20:41:01 <MDude> So for life to have a purpose there must be life that cares about it.
20:41:18 <tswett> Then [] should essentially be a "loop while 1", but it should somehow make it so that <, >, and - don't result in there later on being 0s where there could be 1s.
20:41:27 <mroman> which means I could kill myself without risking that one
20:41:52 <kmc> I'm an atheist but I don't believe that there's nothing after death, exactly
20:41:58 <kmc> there's nothing after death for you or for me
20:42:26 <zzo38> OK, there are traces. I think is OK you can learn many religious and non-religious things.
20:42:27 <kmc> but "you" and "me" are just crude heuristic labels for describing incredibly complicated and mysterious phenomena
20:42:37 <tswett> Ooh, here's an idea.
20:42:37 <kmc> if you let go of the ego a bit, death isn't so scary
20:42:41 <int-e> mroman: nah, there are more anchors. I don't want to hurt my family, friends or acquaintences in that way.
20:42:53 <mroman> int-e: true
20:43:00 <tswett> [] just means "fork and loop forever". All threads operate on the same tape, and all of them move simultaneously.
20:43:01 <kmc> "In the neon sign, scrolling up and down / I am born again"
20:43:02 <mroman> but to some degree you're already hurting them by being depressive
20:43:03 <MDude> I think the question of wether a purpose has life to it is more interesting than the reverse.
20:43:14 <tswett> Well, no, it's not quite the case that all threads operate on the same tape.
20:43:18 <zzo38> To me, it is a bit unsure what exactly is meant by "what is after death". I can say after death is decomposition and stuff like that.
20:43:19 <mroman> and I know that someday they won't give a shit anymore to protect themselves
20:43:24 <tswett> If a thread does +, all tapes see that. If a thread does -, only its own tape sees that.
20:44:01 <tswett> There's also a command %, meaning "die unless 1".
20:44:32 <zzo38> Some things seem to show that there may be some kind of "psychic awareness" after "near death", but other experiments show otherwise, so it is unknown. In fact, it doesn't seem to quite know what exactly such a thing would mean, anyways.
20:44:55 <mroman> Live only needs a purpose if you don't enjoy it. The purpose is just there to justify your suffering
20:45:06 <kmc> neutral monism is best monism
20:45:32 <tswett> mroman: so, it sounds like you don't enjoy life.
20:45:41 <mroman> Obiously not.
20:45:44 <mroman> +v
20:46:06 <zzo38> kmc: I am also neutral monism
20:46:36 <mroman> I would enjoy it if you invent the artificial comma capsule thingy
20:46:43 <mroman> that thing you see in science fiction movies
20:47:03 <mroman> you enter the capsule and you're immediately put into a sleep state
20:47:13 <mroman> like freezing/unfreezing or whatever
20:47:14 <MDude> I only have apostrophe capsules.
20:47:24 <zzo38> You say about purpose of life, but really it is just a part of a larger system, which is the entire universe and of the multiverse (if any). That is the purpose.
20:47:47 <mroman> so you could work like 3/4 hours a day to pay off the capsule
20:47:56 <mroman> and the other 20h you'd be in the capsule
20:48:01 <tswett> I think it's kind of interesting how so many of our names of punctuation marks come from Greek.
20:48:18 <mroman> that'd be kinda my dream life
20:48:19 <tswett> Comma, colon, semicolon, apostrophe.
20:48:33 <tswett> mroman: so your dream is the elimination of leisure time?
20:49:12 <mroman> it's part of it ,yes

20:52:33 <Phantom_Hoover> what does it matter if you're sleeping 8 hours or 20
20:53:05 <mroman> well you have to suffer fewer hours per day
20:53:26 <mroman> if you sleep 8 hours there's still 16 hours of the day left
20:53:45 <mroman> that's way too much

21:06:13 <zzo38> What is rank/select to index into UTF-8 encoded text?
21:06:22 <kmc> shachaf: do you have new information about it?
21:07:21 <zzo38> What SQLite does is considers any byte 0x01-0xBF to be a single character, and any byte 0xC0-0xFF followed by zero or more bytes in the 0x80-0xBF range to be a single character.
21:09:45 <zzo38> When trying to convert to/from codepoints there are many other problems, but I have written an extension with functions CHR_U and ORD_U which avoid these problems. The built-in UNICODE function assumes codepoints are signed 32-bit integers, although my function ORD_U uses signed 64-bit integers instead (although only 36-bits will be used). The built-in CHAR function cannot encode surrogates or out-of-range Unicode characters.

21:24:28 <edwardk> the tricky part is you want efficient select performance not rank, so Elias-Fano, etc. gets a bit tricky to do well
21:29:23 <zzo38> I still do not quite understand, what is rank/select to index into UTF-8 encoded text efficiently?
21:29:49 -!- tertu has quit (Disconnected by services).
21:29:49 -!- ter2 has joined.
21:31:17 <edwardk> rank lets you count up the number of occurrences of a symbol in an alphabet up to a given point in O(1) time using very near optimal space. select lets you jump directly to the kth occurrence of a symbol. lets let the symbols be 1 or 0 for whether it is a UTF8 head byte or a UTF8 tail byte. store that bitvector as an array and add a select structure that lets you quickly jump to the kth 1
21:31:45 <edwardk> now if you want to drop k elements from Data.Text you use select k 1s, and drop to thre
21:32:32 <edwardk> if you want to take k elements you go to select k 1s - 1and run to there.
21:33:06 <edwardk> it is a precursor to more advanced structures like fm-indices, wavelet trees, compressed suffix arrays, etc.
21:34:06 -!- mhi^ has quit (Quit: Lost terminal).
21:34:21 <zzo38> OK
21:36:41 <zzo38> I would suppose then, if the byte 0x80 to 0xBF then it is not a first byte of a UTF-8 character, and otherwise it is a first byte of a UTF-8 character.
21:43:29 <shachaf> edwardk: I imagine that for UTF-8 you would just store a sparse bit vector of all the continuation bytes or something like that?
21:43:57 <shachaf> I guess it depends on what you expect strings to be like.
21:44:07 <edwardk> shachaf: you'd want a select structure that can find the head bytes.
21:45:14 <shachaf> I guess so.
21:45:16 <edwardk> rank doesn't care which way it splits, but select structures are built for one value or the other (or both)
21:45:40 <edwardk> so here it is more useful to be able to find heads
21:46:27 <edwardk> now with text we don't use utf-8 currently, so it'd be surrogate pair leads
21:46:43 <edwardk> and most of the type there'd be no non-plane 0 codepoints
21:46:52 <edwardk> so the structure'd usually be trivial
21:46:57 <zzo38> O, so you are using UTF-16?
21:47:13 <edwardk> I was assumng for Data.Text which is UTF-16
21:47:35 <edwardk> but its the same problem as for UTF-8
21:47:48 <edwardk> UTF-16 annoys me
21:48:17 <zzo38> UTF-16 is not compatible with ASCII, though.
21:48:46 <shachaf> What was the reason in the end for sticking with UTF-16?
21:48:48 <shachaf> ICU?
21:50:07 <zzo38> UTF-8 is also not limited to the Unicode range.
21:55:55 -!- john3213 has joined.
21:58:13 <zzo38> The VGM file format uses UTF-16. A VGM compiler I wrote expects the input to be in ASCII format, however comments can be in any format, and any text which is copied directly to the VGM file can be in UTF-8 or CESU-8 format. (Nothing special is needed to support CESU-8, so it just automatically does support CESU-8.)

22:41:28 <Bike> ye
22:41:30 <tswett> There's some amazing theorem which states that the function f(x) = 3^x - x takes on all but at most one value.
22:41:56 <oerjan> Bike: discussing graham's number?
22:42:02 <tswett> Over the complex numbers, that is.
22:42:06 <Bike> tswett brought it up
22:42:12 <Bike> yeah, picard's theorem
22:42:13 <Bike> a good theorem.
22:42:53 <oerjan> it doesn't necessarily have to exclude one value, mind you, i think

22:43:12 <Bike> yeah it's either all of C or C minus some dumbass point
22:43:25 <Bike> because if you have two or more points you have to be periodic or sumfin
22:43:29 <oerjan> whether 3^x - x does i'm not sure.  actually that would be equivalent to e^x - x + a constant, i think
22:43:43 <oerjan> (in range)
22:44:15 <Bike> (log 3)e^x - x, anyway
22:44:41 <oerjan> Bike: yes, i'm just thinking you can extract that log 3 by substituting x with something
22:45:20 <oerjan> 3^x - x = e^(x*ln 3) - (x*ln 3) + ... hm or can you
22:45:42 <Bike> substitute y = x - ln3!!
22:46:08 <Bike> disclaimer i am tired and apathetic

22:50:46 <oerjan> you might like, not confuse x and y twh
22:51:10 <tswett> Where _ means "this is supposed to be a type signature but I haven't bothered to figure out what".
22:51:22 <Bike> ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
22:52:11 <oerjan> 3[A
22:52:13 <oerjan> oops
22:52:30 <tswett> Conclusion: Graham's number can be written in the calculus of constructions using a few dozen symbols tops.
22:52:45 <oerjan> 3^y - y = e^x - x/ln 3
22:52:47 <tswett> It's not an Unreasonably Large Number.
22:52:50 <Bike> tswett: is that surprising
22:52:55 <tswett> Bike: nope.
22:53:05 <Bike> imo it seems much larger when you remember it's a dimensionality :V
22:53:06 <tswett> But it makes Graham's number sound pretty small.
22:53:38 <Bike> can't you just skip to grzegorczyk and call it good
22:54:40 <oerjan> tswett: hey we (well, someone, quintopia maybe?) did goodstein sequence in system F the other day, graham's number is like piece of cake in comparison
22:55:18 <oerjan> as in, i found something on wikipedia implying it possible and someone else wrote down a definition
22:56:22 <oerjan> oh hm to get rid of that /ln 3 you need to substitute it back in additively, i think
22:57:18 -!- conehead has joined.
22:57:25 <oerjan> x = z - ln 3
22:57:47 <tswett> So if System F can do it, surely the CoC can do it.
22:58:24 <oerjan> then 3^y - y = e^x - x/ln 3 = e^z/ln 3 - z/ln 3 + (ln 3)^2
22:58:59 <oerjan> = (e^z - z)/ln 3 + (ln 3)^2
22:59:37 <oerjan> so the ranges of the functions are just linear maps of each other
22:59:51 <oerjan> which means either both leave out a point, or neither
23:01:05 <tswett> Okay. Goodstein's theorem really seems a little obvious.
23:01:46 <Bike> the one that's unprovable in peano?
23:02:10 <tswett> Yeah.
23:03:06 <int-e> oerjan, tswett: I did; see https://github.com/tromp/AIT/blob/master/goodstein.hs
23:03:20 <tswett> It comes down to the fact that a certain recursion scheme is well-founded.
23:04:03 <tswett> The recursion scheme uses a decreasing sequence of ordinal numbers less than epsilon_0.
23:04:24 <int-e> (it's in tromp's repo because there is also a lambda code version of essentially the same code in there now)
23:05:22 <tswett> That's an interesting definition of an ordinal number.
23:05:34 <tswett> "forall r. ((N -> r) -> r) -> (r -> r) -> r -> r"
23:05:39 <oerjan> int-e: ah, sorry for not remembering
23:06:08 <int-e> oerjan: don't worry about it
23:06:33 <zzo38> tswett: What does N mean here, then?
23:06:35 <tswett> So it takes a blobble, a function on blobbles, and a function turning an infinite sequence of blobbles into a blobble. It turns all this into a single blobble.
23:06:38 <tswett> zzo38: natural numbers.
23:06:42 <zzo38> OK
23:07:09 <tswett> So it sounds a lot like taking zero, a successor function, and a limit function.
23:07:30 <oerjan> tswett: afaiu that's what it is, in church representation
23:07:50 <tswett> Of course, that representation can't represent all ordinal numbers.
23:07:52 <int-e> tswett: it only works for countable ordinals
23:07:56 <tswett> At best, it represents the countable ones.
23:07:56 <oerjan> although i don't really understand how that works to actually do ordinal number stuff
23:08:33 <tswett> The calculus of constructions is so strong, I bet you could use it to prove that the calculus of constructions is strongly normalizing.
23:08:51 <tswett> (The amount I bet is -$200.)
23:08:58 <int-e> (and you run into problems actually constructing them, but in principle every countable ordinal can be represented in that way.)
23:09:28 <Bike> all this has shockingly little to do with my question about grobner bases, smh
23:09:56 <tswett> Smacking my halibut.
23:09:57 <int-e> there was a question... hmm.
23:10:21 <oerjan> oops my y to z above is nonsense
23:10:54 <oerjan> it needs to be x = z - ln (ln 3), i think
23:11:22 <Bike> the question was: what the heck are grobner bases
23:12:00 <oerjan> then e^x - x/ln 3 = e^z/ln 3 - z/ln 3 + ln 3 ln (ln 3) = (e^z - z)/ln 3 + ln 3 ln (ln 3)
23:12:46 <HackEgo> [wiki] [[0(nop^)]]  http://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=39666&oldid=39645 * John Misciagno * (+260) 
23:13:09 <oerjan> argh still wrong. + ln (ln 3) / ln 3
23:13:28 <Bike> apparently solving systems of polynomials is "not easy" and also "you can get to P and NP somehow from trying"
23:13:50 <oerjan> well the essence still holds, anyway
23:16:03 <int-e> Bike: AFAIK Gröbner bases represent ideals in polnomial rings; they are special in that one can decide whether a polnomial is in the ideal by taking it's largest monomial (in a total order on monomials) and replace it by a linear combination of smaller ones using a polynomial in the gröbner basis; this procedure terminates and you either end up with 0 (and the polynomial is in the ideal) or not (and it's not).
23:17:16 <Bike> oh.
23:17:19 <Bike> ok.
23:17:21 <int-e> as for polynomials you can also run into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert%27s_tenth_problem
23:17:32 <Bike> i guess i'll think hard and figure out what this has to do with solving
23:17:51 <Bike> wait, what do diophantines have to do with it ._.
23:26:35 <int-e> it's another kind of polynomial equations
23:26:53 <oerjan> <fizzie> I have a feeling the signed overflow is UB to cater for (real or hypothetical) machines where signed-integer arithmetic traps on overflow rather than doing something else. <-- what istr reading is that it's UB to allow optimizations that only work if there is no overflow hth
23:26:56 <int-e> (restricted to integer coefficients and variables)
23:27:15 <oerjan> so it doesn't actually have anything to do with ambiguousness of representation at all
23:27:24 <oerjan> (or not just that, anyway)
23:28:15 <oerjan> hm the fizzie is idle
23:28:20 <Bike> well, yes, i don't care about that limitation here though is all
23:29:33 <oerjan> @tell fizzie <fizzie> I have a feeling the signed overflow is UB to cater for (real or hypothetical) machines where signed-integer arithmetic traps on overflow rather than doing something else. <-- what istr reading is that it's UB to allow optimizations that only work if there is no overflow.  so it isn't just about ambiguousness of representation, if at all.

23:56:04 <tswett> Optimizations that only work if there's no overflow, eh?
23:57:55 <zzo38> LLVM can explicitly specify if there is no signed overflow and no unsigned overflow.
23:58:13 <oerjan> i think the c faq had examples
23:58:53 <tswett> IIRC, in C, unsigned integer overflow is defined to wrap around and signed integer overflow is undefined behavior. I guess you could use a signed 16-bit integer to represent an unsigned 8-bit integer with undefined behavior on overflow.

2014-05-24:

00:01:05 -!- MDream has changed nick to MDude.
00:04:46 <zzo38> You could also just do it directly in LLVM by telling it that you want undefined behavior on unsigned overflow in this circumstances.
00:12:59 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
00:14:56 <tswett> Now, the problem with base 10, and all other positive integer radix bases, is that they're topologically incorrect.
00:16:05 <MDude> Are you saying they outright don't have topoligies?
00:16:27 <tswett> Oh, I think they have topologies. But the topologies are incorrect.
00:17:17 <tswett> Say that a set of sequences is open if and only if, for every sequence in the set, there's a finite prefix of that sequence such that every sequence with that prefix is in the set.
00:17:55 <tswett> (For example, the set of all sequences containing at least one "b" is open, because given the sequence "aaaabaaaaaaa", there's a prefix, "aaaab", such that every sequence with that prefix is in the set.)
00:18:31 <tswett> Then there's no continuous function taking a regular Cauchy sequence and returning a decimal expansion for its limit.
00:19:02 <quintopia> i've been pinged

00:19:31 <quintopia> i don't know system F

00:20:37 <tswett> I think.
00:20:46 -!- mhi^ has quit (Quit: Lost terminal).
00:21:55 <tswett> Yeah. Given the sequence 1.1, 0.9, 1.01, 0.99, 1.001, 0.999, 1.0001, 0.9999, ..., you can never find any digits of the decimal expansion because you don't know whether the first digit is 0 or 1.
00:22:32 <tswett> The most obvious bases that don't have this problem are the negative integer radix bases.
00:23:38 <tswett> No, that's not quite true.
00:23:51 <tswett> They're the negative integer radix bases where you're allowed to use digits at least as large as the base.
00:23:53 <oerjan> quintopia: yw
00:24:04 <tswett> The absolute value, rather. So, e.g., base -2 with 0, 1, and 2 as digits.
00:25:18 <quintopia> is system F brainfuck? i don't even remember
00:25:50 <oerjan> quintopia: no it's lambda calculus with explicit rank-n types
00:26:36 <oerjan> ghc's core intermediate language is an extension of it
00:26:57 <oerjan> the basica version allows only terminating functions
00:27:00 <oerjan> *-a
00:27:20 <zzo38> I once made some kind of RLE where some values are data values and some are RLE values, and the RLE values are small-endian shifted numbers so, for example, you might have eight data values and eight RLE values, then the digits are 1 to 8. If RLE values are present, you add two to determine how many.
00:28:02 <quintopia> oerjan: i don't understand anything even remotely related to ghc. i feel like the dude in that codeless code "the monolith"
00:28:14 <oerjan> wat
00:28:23 <zzo38> Clearly there is still some redundancy though.
00:34:26 <Bike> darn, how could everyone have missed a flaw in numbers this whole time
00:34:55 <oerjan> is mathematics inconsistent
00:34:57 <zzo38> Bike: That isn't a flaw, though.
00:35:33 <zzo38> It looks to me like an error in trying to use then with topologies even though it shouldn't apply.
00:36:03 <oerjan> wait is Bike talking about what zzo38 thinks he is talking about
00:36:09 <Bike> actually, yes.
00:37:03 <Bike> zzo will see that everything he loves is a lie as soon as he tries getting digits of the limit of 1.1, 0.9, etc etc

01:08:50 <zzo38> Some people's birthday is on Feb.29 and it has to be moved to Mar.1. One way to avoid is to use your actual sun sign rather than the calendar; then you don't have to worry about leap years. However, in such a case, it will then change which date it is on each year much more often.
01:10:00 <kmc> how are you inebriated if you don't do drugs

01:13:15 <olsner> I do not know
01:13:19 <kmc> no, but I think I could look it up?
01:13:22 <zzo38> (I don't actually care what the result is.)
01:14:10 <zzo38> kmc: Using ephemeris you certainly can look it up, yes. But you may need to know the time of day too, in such a case.

01:14:36 <olsner> if I start using rust's format macros, I wonder if it would bloat my kernel horribly
01:14:41 <kmc> probably
01:14:49 <olsner> well, my thought exactly
01:19:13 <zzo38> You can either use software on your computer to calculate it (such as Swiss Ephemeris, or Astrolog), or use a webpage form such as http://ephemeris.com/ephemeris.php It will display the current positions by default. You should leave the longitude/latitude/meters blank. The columns "Longitude" and "Latitude" are ecliptic positions (you can tell because of the units used), while "Right Asc." and "Declination" are equatorial coordinates.

01:41:52 <zzo38> In a tarot deck, one card is called a "Fool" (or sometimes, an "Excuse"). This card is often labeled zero, but I disagree, and believe it should instead remain unlabeled. Generally, either it is either the highest trump, or it is a card which can be played even though you are able to follow suit, but always loses the trick.
01:42:38 <zzo38> Someone once told me why it is labeled zero, which is because it represents the beginning of the journey, which is what the trump cards represent. I can understand this, but do not consider it to be a valid excuse. What do *you* think?
01:43:59 <zzo38> Another document agrees with me that it should not be numbered, but has an entirely different reason which does not agree with mine.
01:44:31 <Bike> why would i care
01:44:34 <zzo38> Have you played any card games at all which have a card which can be played even though you are able to follow suit?
01:44:49 <zzo38> I am wondering what other games use such a feature.
01:51:35 <oerjan> that game with the eights?
01:52:39 <oerjan> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Eights
01:52:55 <quintopia> uno and speed uno
01:53:19 <quintopia> and that upstream downstream one i think
01:56:07 <zzo38> Yes, but I meant about trick taking games, where you lose the trick if you don't follow suit.
01:56:44 <quintopia> other than spades?
01:57:13 <zzo38> I don't really know how Spades is played, but I can try to learn
01:57:37 <quintopia> i'll play spades with you
02:02:27 <zzo38> In hearts it is played that you cannot lead a heart until one is played (and also a similar rule is sometimes used in spades). But what if, all you have are hearts?
02:03:26 -!- hk3380 has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
02:03:51 <zzo38> Wikipedia says they can play it anyways in such a case.
02:05:04 <zzo38> Perhaps the following variant rule of Hearts is similar to the Excuse card in tarot: "Non-distinct Jokers are valueless cards that cannot win tricks. They may be played at all times (except to lead tricks)"
02:07:38 <quintopia> zzo38: in spades, if you have all the spades, you must call for a redeal
02:08:28 <zzo38> O, OK, why is that?

02:16:27 <quintopia> zzo38: because if you have all the spades, you will automatically win every trick, which means you will declare 13 tricks, the other side will declare 0, everyone will make their bids, and no fun will be had by all. boring.

04:19:06 <kmc> i like mcpherrin's suggestion of CSS selectors for ASTs

04:25:37 <zzo38> Can xQuery selectors be used for ASTs?
04:27:47 <zzo38> I want to know a code that can convert something like CSS selectors for ASTs into a SQL code.
04:30:31 <kmc> what is xQuery?
04:31:14 <zzo38> Queries XML documents
04:31:31 <kmc> how does it compare to XPath?
04:31:43 <kmc> I think pcwalton's idea here is pretty #esoteric: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.dev.servo/49g2izLWsls/VRlR_dSws_EJ
04:31:48 <kmc> so Blink has a JIT for CSS selectors
04:32:01 <kmc> and he wants us to do the same, but also throw out any other representation of CSS nodes
04:32:07 <Sgeo> Is it just me, or is 'API' coming to mean 'HTTP-transported API returning JSON objects'?
04:32:09 <kmc> and get it dynamically by decompiling the JIT code
04:32:16 <kmc> Sgeo: this is why we can't have nice things
04:32:39 <Bike> https://www.mashape.com/ sgeo
04:32:52 <Bike> a hilarious site fyi
04:33:31 <Sgeo> Bike: an ad for that site is exactly what made me think of that
04:34:27 <Bike> http://blog.mashape.com/post/69006514021/list-of-25-email-validation-apis man they even advertise it
04:34:34 <Bike> we have a million of everything and it all costs moneys
04:34:44 <Sgeo> Wait. Why is that site suggesting hitting it for using the APIs? Do people make HTTP/JSON APIs on that site based off other APIs that might not be so "friendly"?
04:35:21 <Sgeo> "EmailValidate is a web service which validates email addresses using various methods, including: Syntax validation, MX record lookup, SMTP availability"
04:35:30 <kmc> i have sliced my thumb by attempting to use a knife as a different kind of tool
04:35:32 <Sgeo> SMTP? Isn't that obsolete, shouldn't we be HTTP POSTing emails?
04:35:36 <kmc> not badly, just enough to feel stupid
04:35:58 <shachaf> kmc: did you try to use it as nail polish
04:36:02 <kmc> Sgeo: one day in the future, software archaeologists will attempt to discern the purpose of all these mysterious protocol layers under HTTP
04:36:02 <zzo38> Maybe it is call obsolete, but it shouldn't be. We should be using SMTP and deprecating the ability tp HTTP POSTing emails.
04:36:05 <kmc> shachaf: no
04:36:43 <Bike> maybe if browser developers applied their mystic powers of understanding thirty layers of historical garbage i wouldn't have so much trouble with bug biology
04:36:49 <zzo38> There are many better protocols than HTTP.
04:37:26 <kmc> HTTP isn't the protocol we want but it's the protocol we deserve
04:37:28 <Sgeo> zzo38: that literal example isn't quite happening yet. Except to the extent that webmail clients work, but that is, so far, just to a server which itself will use SMTP.
04:37:38 <kmc> no, there are totally services that let you send email by HTTP APIs
04:37:53 <shachaf> i feel like i should spend some time actually learning rust
04:38:03 <kmc> shachaf: it's pretty cool
04:38:22 <kmc> Sgeo: http://www.mailgun.com/ is a popular one
04:38:47 <kmc> shachaf: you should do it so that you can implement rustc features that i want
04:39:06 <Sgeo> application/x-www-form-urlencoded?
04:39:11 <Sgeo> Jeez, seems like a novelty these days
04:39:26 <kmc> in 11 months as a professional Rust developer, I have opened 48 issues on the Rust bugtracker
04:39:42 <shachaf> whoa, meteor shower tonight
04:39:46 <kmc> yeah?
04:39:49 <zzo38> I still insist to use SMTP (or TFTP). If the server requires HTTP to be used, you should instead immediately deprecate it and write a SMTP server that translates the signals, and then eventually fix it so that it works other way around.
04:39:52 <Sgeo> I'd almost say I'm weirdly happy about that, except it exposes security issues because what's an SOP, <form> inventor?
04:40:04 <kmc> this is why we can't have nice things
04:40:31 <kmc> 11:31 < kmc> should I be scared when the WHATWG spec says "for historical reasons"? because I feel like that phrase already applies to the entire document
04:40:34 <kmc> 11:31 < Ms2ger> Correct
04:40:36 <kmc> 11:32 < Ms2ger> That just means "for historical reasons we dislike particularly"

04:42:42 <zzo38> HTTP is very wasteful, and HTTPS isn't as secure as they want it to be.
04:42:57 <Bike> as long as you're writing a whole browser you should write a whole hypertext replacement, realistic adoption be damned
04:43:09 <Bike> moxanadu
04:43:22 <kmc> :D
04:44:17 <kmc> zzo38: what do you think are the main security issues with HTTPS?
04:44:21 <Sgeo> zzo38: there's a TCP-like protocol that lives on top of HTTP(S). It's becoming quite popular.
04:44:24 <kmc> there are so many, I don't even know where to begin
04:44:48 <zzo38> Don't write the whole browser anyways. Use different program each purpose. Using telnet and SSH when you want interactive sessions without hypertext and so on (SSH also allows a few other things; you can send a command directly for batch processing, and you can use X forwarding if you need a GUI, but hopefully you don't need a GUI and can avoid that complexity).
04:44:49 <Sgeo> Well, I guess 'on top of' isn't quite accurate. More initiated by
04:44:53 <Bike> today somebody asked me whether using "EFF" was worth it. after some needling i found out he meant their HTTPS Everywhere gizmo
04:45:01 <kmc> heh

04:45:51 <Sgeo> Hmm, does Mozilla count as a company?
04:46:01 <Sgeo> Or just 'organization'?
04:46:03 <Bike> well they're a bunch of people
04:46:06 <Bike> therefore, company
04:46:32 <zzo38> You should use SSH instead of HTTPS, and avoid use of HTML too. Make the command-line to upload/download/access bank statements and so on, using bank statement format, payment format, etc

04:47:30 <Sgeo> zzo38: fantastic idea! Now, what do we do when our customers think that we're an utterly backwards company because we have no web site?
04:47:50 <zzo38> Sgeo: Well, make a web site! But, put a notice on it that says, "Deprecated"!
04:48:58 <monotone> No matter how bad the existing stack is, anything you ask a bank to come up with will be worse.
04:49:24 <Bike> i'm just having a hard time imagining you being you if you've ever had to help an unsavvy parent with the computerbox
04:49:32 <Sgeo> Making a non-web GUI is also going to be 'fun', involving possibly asking customers to trust that we're not evil (maybe warranted for an ISP, possibly not so much for, say, sharing 'meme images')
04:50:07 <zzo38> Best is not GUI at all, if it can be avoided.
04:50:15 <oerjan> Bike: there's the alternative possibility they're so unsavvy they refuse to touch a computer, ever
04:50:29 <Bike> that was actually my first guess
04:50:33 <zzo38> If you do need a GUI, use non-trusted X forwarding.
04:51:15 <zzo38> But try to allow it to work without a GUI if that is at all possible, even if a GUI is available.
04:51:18 <monotone> You want to let people run X programs on bank servers?
04:51:48 <Sgeo> The web is the worst cross-platform GUI stack there is, except for all the others.
04:51:51 <zzo38> monotone: No, you should disable GUI, to avoid that.

04:56:49 <kmc> no
04:56:56 <Bike> no hell below us
04:56:58 <mcpherrin> Javascripttttttttt
04:57:00 <kmc> no part of the web technology stack is as bad as PHP
04:57:08 <kmc> JavaScript is bad but it's not irredeemably bad
04:57:10 <zzo38> Sgeo: No; it isn't the only way to program it, too. You can use CGI programs in C, too.
04:57:23 <kmc> JS is a really weird demonstration of the Lambda the Ultimate principle
04:57:28 <zzo38> JavaScript is a fine programming language actually. It is used really badly though.
04:57:38 <zzo38> PHP is much worse.
04:57:40 <Sgeo> kmc: sending browsers text data that contains both trusted and untrusted data, with the only separation being context-sensitive escaping
04:57:49 <kmc> partly it's that everyone has to use JS, so they come up with ways to make it not suck
04:57:51 <Bike> web escaping is awesome
04:57:59 <Bike> in that what the fuck even
04:58:01 <zzo38> (PHP can also be used for command-line programs; in fact, so can JavaScript.)
04:58:08 <kmc> whereas people who use PHP and realize how bad it is can just use something else
04:58:11 <kmc> with some exceptions
04:58:33 <kmc> zzo38: yes, I worked somewhere that had a mixed Rails / PHP codebase and used both langugaes for batch processing as well as webapps
04:58:56 <monotone> PHP also has a tendency to "fix" things by making them worse.
04:59:06 <zzo38> If you are using JavaScript for something other than client-side coding on webpages, then you usually can easily use something else. For example, Synchronet door programs are written in JavaScript, but you can just as well use a native code program or a DOS program.
04:59:26 <kmc> emscripten that shit
05:00:14 <monotone> asm.js wooooo
05:00:19 <zzo38> XULrunner programs are also JavaScript; you can try to use C++ instead but that probably makes it more difficult and more confusing. I think JavaScript is really not too bad.

I later found my program was rewritten in Ruby by someone else.

09:26:16 <kmc> that's numberwang
09:27:17 <Taneb> This line (which was written by me) came from something I was doing from a friend, for a competition where we had to write in Python.
09:27:43 <Taneb> It was originally largely based on his earlier C++ code, with parts based on my earlier Haskell code.
09:28:12 <Taneb> At some point we renamed a bunch of things from "shape" to "ship" or possibly the other way round, but we were horribly incomplete about it all
09:29:47 <Taneb> A lot of it was then written by a very over-tired me
09:30:20 <Taneb> A lot of it I have had to justify as "it came to me in a dream" because that's what it felt like.
09:31:19 <fizzie> Oh, I think that line is shipshape.

09:58:56 <int-e> Bike: The connection from solving systems of polynomial equations to Gröbner bases is as follows: if X (a vector of real numbers) is a solution of P_i(X) = 0 for 1 <= i <= n, then any polynomial Q in the ideal I = <P_i>_{1 <= i <= m} has X as a solution. Now the Gröbner basis B of I is a subset of I, so X is also a solution of the set of equations given by B. Furthermore, B generates I, which contains all P_i, so any...
09:59:02 <int-e> ...solution to the equations in B is also a solution of each P_i. So B has the same set of solutions as the original polynomials. But the polynomials in B are often (maybe always, but I don't see why. did I mention that I'm not an expert on Gröbner bases?) easier to solve than the original ones, because by a suitable choice of order on monomials it's possible to separate variables (so you get a polynomial in x_1, then one...
09:59:08 <int-e> ...in x_1 and x_2, then one in x_1 to x_3, and so on).

15:09:08 <Taneb> Oh, OK
15:10:16 <oerjan> 6 minutes walk to the airport, i read in an article about the Blues in Hell festival (very small but praised festival)
15:11:02 <oerjan> i also recalled someone once suggested renaming the airport to Hell airport instead.  i think it's like on the border between the two villages.
15:11:40 <oerjan> (well Værnes might count as a town, but Hell is smaller.)
15:12:52 <oerjan> of course with a name like that and extremely good connectivity a festival just has to be successful.

16:33:21 <oerjan> excellent, Gregor is also our local C++ expert

16:34:42 <FireFly> Pfft
16:35:17 <zzo38> We could now use this SQLite to write programs for polls and various other things
16:35:34 <int-e> M28: it's just that this might actually happen if the brainfuck code is generated by some sort of compiler.
16:35:43 <M28> yep
16:35:56 <M28> I wrote a B to Brainfuck compiler once
16:36:10 <M28> (B is the language that comes before C, really)
16:36:35 <M28> I plan to eventually rewrite the JIT to optimize code generated by the compiler
16:36:42 <mroman> Any clues whether a stack-based programming language with one Register (stack contains register values, so no stacks of stacks, register are bounded in size) with random read access to the stack could be turing complete or not?
16:37:22 <nortti> is register unbounded?
16:37:29 <nortti> $d
16:37:33 <M28> I don't think you even need a register if you have a stack, as long as you can push, pop, add, etc. on the stack
16:37:37 <int-e> M28: the [ case looks wrong: you have to test for zero before the first loop iteration
16:37:57 <M28> int-e, wait what
16:38:07 <int-e> it's a while loop, not a do while loop
16:38:07 <M28> oh
16:38:09 <M28> OH
16:38:13 <M28> thanks
16:38:17 <M28> forgot about that ;_;
16:38:33 <int-e> (an unconditional jump to the ] code will do the trick)
16:38:42 <nortti> mroman: is the random read access like in false?
16:38:50 <M28> the problem is looking ahead
16:39:03 <M28> anyways, thanks
16:39:09 <M28> tell me if you can spot anything wrong in ,
16:39:12 <int-e> M28: reserve space for the destination, patch it up in the ] case.
16:39:16 <M28> yep
16:39:20 <M28> that's what I'm gonna do
16:39:21 <oerjan> mroman: that is not TC because your stack addresses become bounded as well...
16:39:28 <mroman> nortti: You can treat the stack as a "tape" for read access
16:39:40 <mroman> i.e you can move around in the stack brainfuck-style with < and >
16:39:58 <mroman> there are no "addresses"
16:40:01 <nortti> then, I think one could do that, by simulating a queue
16:40:44 <mroman> The only write access is push/pop/peek
16:40:51 <zzo38> (If the logs would still be on, then we can also copy the logs into SQL format in order to query them by use of SQL queries.)
16:40:53 <oerjan> M28: a stack doesn't give you turing-completeness unless the stack cells are unbounded.  you get just a pushdown automaton.
16:40:53 <mroman> hm wait
16:41:01 <mroman> actually just push and peek
16:41:03 <mroman> you can't pop
16:41:49 <mroman> You can push the register, peek the top of the stack, or read a specific element of the stack
16:42:22 <mroman> (peek and read overwrite the register's contents)
16:42:30 <int-e> M28: what happens with the INT3 in there?
16:43:44 <M28> int-e, it's a break point
16:43:49 <M28> I was using it to debug
16:43:57 <nortti> shouldn't this work: you keep the peek pointer in the "start of queue" and when you dequeue, you just move the ptr one topwards

18:55:41 <kmc> why would it
18:56:01 <Bike> https://twitter.com/shelajev/status/469735994464690177/photo/1/large so easy
18:57:11 <zzo38> How well does it work to make a key using a 3D printer? Can it be done if you only have the lock and not the original key? I tried to make a copy of a key in the ordinary way but it did not work; maybe it is a copy of a copy.
18:58:00 <kmc> which is the ordinary way?
18:59:06 <Bike> do you just mean a tumbler
18:59:07 <zzo38> By giving the key to the locksmith and having them use their machine to do it.
18:59:37 <kmc> most of thet times I've cut keys by hand, I did it by loading a lock with the appropriate pins and then filing away bits of the key until it turns
18:59:48 <kmc> duplicating a key by hand directly from another key is harder
18:59:53 <kmc> but i've done it
19:01:15 <kmc> and yeah, key copying machines often do a poor job
19:01:37 <nortti> what kind of key was the one you copies by hand?
19:01:56 <kmc> there's nothing quite like a lovingly hand-cut key
19:02:45 <kmc> you're not restricted to the usual key shapes
19:03:05 <kmc> you can cut a perfectly smooth spline between the control points
19:03:25 <kmc> nortti: I don't remember specifically which key I duplicated by hand directly

19:06:01 <kmc> mostly I have hand-made master keys for various buildings and tunnels at Caltech
19:06:31 <kmc> without having another master key to work from
19:07:03 <nortti> how did you construct those? actually, how do master keys word in general
19:07:08 <nortti> +?
19:08:06 <kmc> jeez the word "tumbler" looks weird with an e
19:08:30 <shachaf> kmc: I don't know why it would but whenever I resume my computer from suspend, and also just now when my Internet connection came back, I hear a bell sound.
19:08:30 <kmc> so here's how a pin tumbler lock works: http://i.imgur.com/pEQoB9a.gif
19:09:02 -!- Slereah_ has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds).
19:09:06 <zzo38> I want to learn how to make the key from using only the lock, so that I can try to ensure I have a key that works, rather than the copy that doesn't work. I can't use their key, because it doesn't belong to me; but I am authorized to use the lock.
19:09:10 <kmc> in a master key system, some of those columns contain 3 or more metal cylinders, so that it can open at 2 or more different heights
19:09:21 <nortti> oh, right
19:10:05 -!- Slereah_ has joined.
19:10:30 -!- MindlessDrone has quit (Quit: MindlessDrone).
19:10:37 <kmc> you can take the lock out of a door, disassemble it (quickly and quietly in the middle of the night in a bathroom or out of the way machine room or something)
19:10:43 <kmc> and measure all the bits with calipers
19:11:00 <kmc> do this for a few different locks in the same master domain; compute the unique key which opens all of them
19:12:19 <Melvar> kmc: I’ve seen a key (that I believe is a master key) that has a row of round indentations in the side close to the top edge.
19:13:22 <kmc> yeah
19:13:30 <Melvar> What do those do?
19:14:05 -!- Slereah has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds).
19:16:23 <kmc> I don't know about those specifically, but there are various high-security key systems that have another coding mechanism besides pin heights
19:17:41 <kmc> mostly I know about the Medeco system, which rotates each pin to one of three angles in addition to lifting it
19:17:44 <kmc> http://modernlock.com/medeco.jpg
19:18:41 <kmc> this does more than increase the number of combinations by a factor of 6*3
19:18:46 <kmc> it makes picking much much harder
19:19:35 <kmc> picking depends on getting the lock to a state where there's just one particular part which is prevent it from turning the next little bit
19:20:04 <kmc> but you can't do this when there are multiple orthogonal mechanisms preventing it from turning
19:21:47 <kmc> also it's just hard to manipulate the pin rotations with standard lockpicking tools
19:22:23 <kmc> but i was never very good at lockpicking, anyway
19:22:52 <kmc> and unauthorized medeco keys are not particularly hard to make (claims of the manufacturer notwithstanding)
19:23:35 <kmc> measuring and cutting the rotations is easy, and they must be the same for every key in a master domain 
19:25:16 <nortti> interesting, apparently abloy locks are hard to pick (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_tumbler_lock)
19:26:47 <kmc> medeco also assigns a different keyway shape to each customer (from some finite set, presumably) and tries to restrict who can buy blanks of which shape
19:26:56 <kmc> but this is not a very effective measure
19:26:56 * mcpherrin uses abloy locks
19:27:19 <kmc> you can buy blanks from sketchy companies in china that are close enough, and then cut them to fit by hand or using a dremel
19:27:19 <mcpherrin> medeco blank restriction is somewhat effective against casual key-copying
19:27:37 <nortti> aren't abloy locks kind of universal or is my perspective skewed by me being a fin?
19:27:41 <nortti> +n
19:27:52 <mcpherrin> nortti: that's a scandanavian thing; they're much less available worldwide
19:27:54 <kmc> I think the latter
19:28:01 <nortti> ic séo
19:28:05 <kmc> yeah douglass_ was telling me about abloy locks; apparently they are very hard to hax
19:28:15 <zzo38> Even if you cannot use key cutting tools, would you be able to use 3D printers to duplicate it? Probably you would need more sophisticated 3D models of the key in such a case than ordinary keys, but maybe it can still be used sometimes? I don't know how well it would work at all
19:28:16 <kmc> she has more key-fu than i do
19:28:26 <kmc> zzo38: yes, I think you can use 3D printers to duplicate keys
19:28:31 <FireFly> Is Medeco a lock vendor?
19:28:33 <kmc> yes
19:28:35 <mcpherrin> abloy 20/70 is my favourite padlock
19:28:38 <FireFly> oh, okay
19:29:12 <kmc> zzo38: you could also use a 3D printer to do a variation of the master key privilege escalation that doesn't require disassembling any locks
19:29:29 <mcpherrin> kmc: you can also copy medeco keys onto plastic sheets easily enough; we used spent gift cards a lot
19:30:12 <kmc> if you have a legit key for some door in the building, you can fabricate a set of ~50 keys to test, and from which ones open the door you can compute the master key
19:30:19 <kmc> mcpherrin: haha, that's awesome
19:30:29 <kmc> are those strong enough to turn the tumbler, or do you use it with a tension tool
19:30:51 <mcpherrin> kmc: you can turn the tumbler with them
19:31:01 <mcpherrin> they're very limited-use though, only opens a lock 3-4 times
19:31:07 <kmc> ah
19:31:49 <mcpherrin> yeah keyway doesn't matter when you can just force the plastic in and it conforms :p
19:31:58 <zzo38> However, what I am trying to do isn't duplicate a key (since I tried it and it didn't work). I wonder if I can make a working key from only the lock (without breaking, disassembling, or uninstalling it). I tried to copy a working key but the copy didn't work; maybe it is a copy of a copy, or something like that? I don't really know why it doesn't work.
19:32:48 <mcpherrin> zzo38: so it depends how you copy a key:  If you're using a key cutter that follows an existing one, you definitely lose fidelity
19:33:04 <kmc> zzo38: the advantage of cutting from another lock loaded with the right pins is that it quantizes the heights to the 10 or so official heights
19:33:15 <kmc> +/- variation in the pins and other components, of course
19:33:21 <kmc> but this prevents the copy-of-a-copy problem
19:33:48 <kmc> there are key duplicating machines that will cut by code rather than just following the profile of an existing key
19:34:00 <mcpherrin> http://www.ricklab.com/keymart/images/ta_lkgks.jpg
19:34:09 <mcpherrin> So you can get a thing like this and use it to read out the code for the key
19:34:14 <kmc> nice
19:34:28 <kmc> "kwikset" is a hilarious name for a brand of locks :3
19:34:40 <mcpherrin> and then if you have a CNC mill (who doesn't), you can easily CNC a new key perfectly
19:34:44 <kmc> mcpherrin: have you seen https://keysduplicated.com/
19:34:50 <kmc> yeah, I think they use a CNC mill
19:35:05 <mcpherrin> kmc: haha yeah, I was considering writing an open source version
19:35:12 <kmc> they have a HTTP API for ordering keys o_O
19:35:43 <mcpherrin> at least for kwikset keys since that's what I'm most familiar with
19:36:15 <int-e> wait ... they collect key profiles together with addresses? what could possibly go wrong?!
19:36:28 <zzo38> Where would you go to get them to cut by code?
19:36:38 <kmc> zzo38: I'm not sure
19:36:40 <mcpherrin> zzo38: most lock smiths should be able to do that
19:36:45 <int-e> become a locksmith?
19:36:51 <mcpherrin> like a real lock smith, not a teenager in the corner of a hardware store
19:36:55 <kmc> probably a locksmith or a lock supply shop can at least tell you where to go
19:37:09 <mcpherrin> you cna probably order them on the internet
19:37:18 <kmc> silk road
19:37:53 <mcpherrin> You could write a program that generates a picture of the key and uploads it to keysduplicated.com ;P
19:37:55 <FireFly> int-e: they could deliver the keys to your table
19:38:11 <pikhq> Or if you're feeling like a lot of tedium, you could file the key yourself.
19:38:19 <int-e> FireFly: that does sound convenient.
19:38:30 <pikhq> It's not *easy*, but you can just take a file to a key blank.
19:38:39 <kmc> pikhq: I was espousing the virtues of that approach before
19:38:46 <zzo38> mcpherrin: Yes, interesting idea, if you have a good 3D rendering software!!

21:32:25 <tswett> So I tried to think of ways to make a better lock just now.
21:33:01 <tswett> I thought, what if each key had to be in a specific shape that encodes some data, and then the lock just works by mechanically reading off the data from the key such that it can only turn if the data is correct?
21:33:03 <Bike> just throw bricks at anyone with a lockpick
21:33:13 <tswett> 'Course, that's what a cylinder lock is.
21:33:31 <Bike> or throw bricks at anyone with a brick, since they could use the brick to break a window.
21:34:10 <tswett> The great thing about throwing bricks at people who have bricks is that they're likely to throw bricks at you, making it impossible for them to use those bricks to break windows.
21:34:31 <tswett> What are the known non-brute-force methods of attacking a cylinder lock? Picking and bumping? Are there others?

21:36:55 <douglass_> impressioning
21:36:58 <Bike> wrong
21:37:08 <kmc> http://www.lockwiki.com/index.php/Impressioning#Manipulation-based_Impressioning
21:37:44 <tswett> myname: mho: the maximum indentation level is six stops, assuming each stop is four columns.
21:37:49 <Bike> what if you fill the lock with a magnetic fluid and manipulate it magneticallly until it opens, then freeze the liquid??
21:37:51 <kmc> tswett: amusingly, attacking a lock with "brute force" could mean two different things
21:37:59 <tswett> kmc: hm, true.
21:38:01 <kmc> I assume you don't mean enumerating all the keys
21:38:12 <Bike> you could let the key melt later, so, the perfect crime
21:38:14 <tswett> Right, I mean actual brutish force.
21:38:21 <kmc> but if you have a legit non-master key, you can do a tractable enumeration to get the master key
21:38:24 <kmc> as I described above
21:38:34 <douglass_> I had better luck with it than bumping, but never got it to work on more than 4 pins. Though maybe this, like bumping, is a method that works better with well-made locks, and my practice lock was shit.
21:39:09 <Taneb> I enjoyed the movie
21:39:29 <kmc> tswett: I have a fantasy of a device with an electrical probe that uses time-domain reflectometry to measure pins without removing or disassembling the lock
21:39:34 <kmc> I don't know if this is practical
21:39:43 <Bike> what movie?
21:39:45 <int-e> kmc: I liked the idea of looking at keys of several locks that have the same master key
21:40:12 <kmc> int-e: that works sometimes, yeah
21:40:24 <Taneb> Bike, the new X-Men film
21:40:24 <shachaf> Bike: the new X-Men film
21:40:31 <kmc> you have to make some assumptions about how the master keying is done, which don't always hold
21:40:39 <tswett> There should be a law stating that trespassing is legal if you do it in a sufficiently clever and interesting way.
21:40:53 <douglass_> Bike: fun fact, most shapes that will open a lock aren't easily removable from it afterwards
21:41:05 <Bike> oooh.
21:41:21 <Bike> countering my attack before i thought of it. very clever, locksmiths
21:41:28 <shachaf> maybe i should acquire a lock and try to pick it
21:41:35 <douglass_> I forgot to smooth out a key I made once. It resulted in an awkward situation.
21:41:58 <int-e> tswett: it already works that way; if you get caught you were not "clever" enough.
21:42:22 <Bike> this reminds me that i don't understand the lock my car uses. the key is a flat bar with a curvy depression down the middle
21:42:30 <tswett> int-e: oh yeah.
21:42:50 <tswett> I dunno. You should be able to call off the investigation by filing a report.
21:43:08 <kmc> tswett: you can also imagine noninvasive imaging of the lock, but I'm not sure what kind will work
21:43:16 <pikhq> Bike: Oh, an internal cut key. Neat.
21:43:52 <Bike> oh yes that seems to be it

21:46:20 <douglass_> well, it mostly wants to go on the surface
21:46:22 <douglass_> but still
21:46:32 <tswett> Is that the skin effect?
21:46:54 <kmc> you could put a radioactive substance inside the keyway, or bombard the lock with neutrons until it's radioactive
21:47:29 <tswett> Place a neutrino source on one side of the lock and a neutrino detector on the other side.
21:47:32 <kmc> yes
21:47:52 <HackEgo> [wiki] [[5command]]  http://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=39679&oldid=39678 * Icepy * (+48) 
21:48:12 <pikhq> If you have a neutrino source and detector of nontrivial power then I think that lockpicking is the least of your priorities.
21:48:22 <kmc> you could vibrate a pin up and down very quickly and maybe measure something
21:49:56 <Bike> pikhq probably doesn't like my plan to train a slime mold to climb in and then climb out and reproduce the shape, either
21:50:14 <int-e> pikhq: I imagine that the key lifts pins by some sort of hook that moves along the internal cut.
21:50:16 <tswett> Ooh, here's an idea.
21:50:31 <tswett> Fill the lock with some sort of gel that sets permanently but remains soft.
21:50:48 <tswett> After the gel sets, pull it out, and it'll return to the shape of the air spaces inside the lock.

21:51:40 <tswett> You know, it must be possible, in theory, to create a "sound camera" that creates an image of where sound is coming from.
21:52:08 <Bike> or my other plan to determine the initial condition of the universal wavefunction by observing cosmic background, and then use this to determine the history of the universe up to the point where the lock is being made
21:52:29 <tswett> Frsrs, ultrasound.
21:53:36 <Bike> or my other other plan to take over ZEVS in a daring military operation, and carefully measure the distortion of ELF waves through the lock
21:54:00 -!- clog has joined.
21:54:30 <tswett> Let's ignore noninvasive imagining for the moment; that's boring. So, locks can be defeated by picking. Use the behavior of the lock to measure the code one pin at a time.
21:55:11 <tswett> Maybe you could make it so that the cylinder turns as long as the pins are in a valid position, but it doesn't turn all the way unless they're all in the correct position.
21:55:13 <FireFly> tswett: if you have access to both sides of the lock, somehow I think picking it is a bit redundant
21:55:49 <tswett> FireFly: not necessarily. I can access both the north side of a building and the south side of a building without being able to access the interior.
21:56:15 <FireFly> Hm, true

22:05:07 <tswett> I like how the ear behaves as a demultiplexer.
22:05:44 <tswett> The brain can't handle signals with a bandwidth higher than 100 Hz or so, so it takes this 20,000 Hz signal and transforms it into a whole bunch of narrower signals.
22:06:33 <ion> s/demultiplexer/Fourier transform/
22:07:10 <tswett> I wouldn't say it behaves as a Fourier transform. It doesn't completely take audio from the time domain to the frequency domain.
22:07:31 <tswett> If it did, we'd only ever hear one sound, but we'd know its frequency components exquisitely well.
22:09:53 <tswett> It can definitely demultiplex, though. You can, to a degree, listen to multiple simultaneous sounds and make them all out.

22:30:19 <tswett> Does stuff that operates mechanically on sound waves still count as "mechanical"?

22:30:43 -!- Sprocklem has joined.
22:31:59 <Bike> considering there are no moving parts...
22:32:31 <tswett> And if the word isn't "mechanical", then what is it?
22:32:45 <Bike> what are you trying to oppose it to?
22:33:03 <tswett> Well, as opposed to something without moving parts.
22:33:21 <tswett> Like, say, a maraca definitely produces sound "mechanically". Stuff hits other stuff, making noise.
22:33:59 <tswett> A whistle doesn't have moving parts; it's a resonant chamber along with an amplifier that operates fluidically.
22:34:05 <tswett> There's the word I want. Fluidically.

22:34:47 <pikhq> The ear isn't a "proper" Fourier transform, but it is implementing an approximation of a Fourier-related transform being used in a very similar way to its use in audio compression.
22:35:41 <tswett> It's almost like the human ear was designed not to notice MP3 compression artifacts.

22:50:24 <tswett> Making an inverter sounds tough. Make a device that produces sound if and only if it is not receiving sound.
22:51:02 <tswett> Maybe you could use destructive interference.
22:52:39 <tswett> In theory, you could just use a device that always produces sound of the relevant frequency. Stick that together with your input line, and it should just work, as long as everything is of the right length and whatnot.

23:46:29 <MDude> Basically, a pre-existing vortex in the system will perpetuate itself if power is supplied.
23:47:07 <oerjan> <tswett> Place a neutrino source on one side of the lock and a neutrino detector on the other side. <-- i think you might just possibly be confusing neutrons and neutrinos there
23:47:46 <kmc> oerjan: that's the one
23:47:55 <kmc> @messages
23:48:13 <MDude> But that seems to presume one-directional flow, wheras sound would alternate.
23:48:55 <int-e> oerjan: but it's funnier with neutrinos
23:49:03 <oerjan> int-e: tru dat.
23:49:15 <MDude> Dunno about making a fluedic rectifier.
23:49:47 <MDude> You'd need really sensitive check valves, I guess?

00:11:59 <oerjan> <zzo38> If you have multiple copies of a picture or audio with different watermarks, can you then detect them and tamper with them? <-- i think it should be possible to design watermarks so that even after your tampering, they can still detect which originally watermarked copies you used
00:12:20 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined.
00:12:54 <oerjan> so that if you get leaked copies from two sources, they can tell what the two leaks were
00:13:59 <zzo38> It may allow you to at least detect watermarks, I suppose, regardless if they can still detect it or not.

00:16:07 <oerjan> as for detecting them, in a sense that's just diff'ing the copies.
00:17:05 -!- tswett has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds).
00:17:55 <MDude> If the watermarks don't cover the same area, and there are at least three, you could do a triple modular redundancy operation.
00:17:59 -!- tswett has joined.
00:18:41 <oerjan> right, but that would be a bad design if you wanted to detect collusion in leaking
00:19:11 <MDude> Though that'd both be just an easily automated subistitute for cropping and stitching the images, and also really bad practice on the part of the watermarker.
00:19:39 <MDude> I'm not sure what collusion in leaking even means here.
00:20:30 <oerjan> i mean, someone using two or more different copies in order to try to make a copy that doesn't tell where they got the originals from

00:46:15 <oerjan> hm oh it's actually simple: just make n non-overlapping watermarks and for each recipient leave _out_ exactly one.
00:46:20 <oerjan> i think.
00:46:43 <oerjan> then your tampering cannot remove the ones you don't have the source excluding.
00:47:35 <oerjan> that's good, i was initially thinking it might need exponential amount of data
00:48:02 <oerjan> oh wait hm
00:48:23 <oerjan> no, that is wrong.
00:49:00 <oerjan> with that scheme, you can easily do MDude's trick if you have 3 copies, do get one with _all_ the watermarks.
00:49:10 <oerjan> *to get
00:50:02 <oerjan> maybe it does require exponential amount of watermark pieces after all.
00:50:34 <MDude> You could remove all the watermarks for which you have examples of images lacking them.
00:50:55 <MDude> But you'd need to be able to tell watermark from non-watermark.
00:51:01 <oerjan> MDude: yes but that would make things _worse_ for hiding your set of sources
00:51:37 <elliott> is it assumed that the watermarks are steganographic?
00:52:14 <oerjan> elliott: i'd think that would be necessary to prevent removing them?
00:52:34 <elliott> right. do such watermarks even survive, e.g. blurring?
00:53:07 <oerjan> there was something in those wikipedia articles about robust vs. fragile watermarks
00:53:12 <MDude> That would sort of make it a non-watermark, though?
00:53:27 <MDude> Since if it's hidden then no one can tell who marked it.
00:53:38 <MDude> Or that is is marked.
00:53:58 <oerjan> MDude: um hidden if you don't have the key to detect it, presumably
00:54:47 <MDude> I was thinking of watermarks on art, which are often there basically as a signature.
00:55:07 <oerjan> this is watermarking for source tracing / traitor tracing
00:55:12 <MDude> If the general audience can't see it, it can't tell them it's yours.
00:55:23 <Jafet> If each combination of watermarks is encrypted separately, there is no way to recover combinations from multiple versions
00:55:29 <oerjan> so basically the opposite of visible signature
00:58:23 <oerjan> Traitor tracing was another wikipedia page i looked at
01:07:01 <oerjan> Jafet: i am failing to interpret the meaning of your line, you may wish to state some assumptions?
01:09:47 <Jafet> I went with the assumptions that I assumed you were assuming
01:11:04 <Jafet> How does getting multiple copies let you mangle the watermark, anyway?
01:12:09 <elliott> e.g. averaging the pixels of two images?
01:12:46 <Jafet> Ideally, that would give you an image with both watermarks.
01:13:03 <zzo38> If you have a lot of copies, you can try to, instead of just averaging, use varying distributions at random.
01:13:44 <zzo38> You can also still apply other filters
01:14:15 <Jafet> You could pick k, then encode several watermarks such that any k images you distribute share at least one watermark. This mark can't be erased by averaging.
01:16:14 <zzo38> You could still try cropping, if you don't care about the entire picture. If you don't even care about the quality, just draw a picture. Some things are not allowed to be photographed, but you can still try to draw the picture. If it is spoken dialogue in a movie or play, you can try to use shorthand.
01:17:16 <shachaf> hi kmc
01:17:35 <oerjan> `ello shachaf 
01:17:37 <HackEgo> Hello, shachaf !
01:17:57 <oerjan> HackEgo: oh come on, there are plenty of h's in there already!
01:18:00 <MDude> One issue with drawing would be that it wouldn't neccisarily be considered reliable since you could jut draw whatever fake picture easily if you were a fake informant.
01:18:13 <zzo38> You could also add in your own watermarks
01:18:39 <MDude> Plus, your drawing might be detected as yours much like a signature.
01:18:47 <zzo38> MDude: Yes; you would have to assume that that doesn't matter, in addition to having a good quality copy of the picture also doesn't matter.
01:18:57 <Jafet> If you are watermarking classified information, you could replace some of the unimportant words using a language database, modulated by the watermarking signal.
01:19:26 <MDude> Edge detection might work.
01:19:46 <MDude> Only keep the lines that are important.
01:19:59 <zzo38> Jafet: You could do the same to tamper with it I suppose; how well a tamper work depend on the system.
01:20:22 <oerjan> Jafet: that's precisely one of the methods described in wikipedia
01:20:37 <oerjan> well, except for the modulation
01:21:19 <Jafet> I don't remember that, but wikipedia may have left a watermark in my mind
01:22:27 <zzo38> Esolang list of ideas has this: "Language with functions and classes that only draws/ describes pictures, and can be compressed into tight string. And can be used for image compression, so that if a compression program is presented with a picture, it tries to find the programs that draw at least some features on the picture. ... If compression is lossy enough, the result will look artistic in a strange way."
01:22:54 <zzo38> If such compression is possible, maybe it has effect on such thing?
01:23:50 <zzo38> In case of drawing a picture based on another picture, you can also have, many people are making a drawing, again from many different copies, and then many people will put it into the computer.
01:25:34 <oerjan> Jafet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_trap
01:28:19 <oerjan> nice try, Elon Musk
01:30:23 <zzo38> Yes, of course, internal conspiracies are another way.
01:30:58 <oerjan> zzo38: this somehow reminds me of once upon a time reading about a compression scheme using self-similar fractals
01:33:06 <oerjan> no later than the 90s, at most
01:33:27 <oerjan> (and no earlier than the 80s, for more obvious reasons)
01:38:26 <kmc> a compression scheme using self-transforming machine elves
01:38:36 <Sgeo> "Web browsers are a deliberately designed engine for remote code execution, a term which strikes fear into the hearts of information security professionals worldwide."
01:39:38 <zzo38> That is one reason to avoid it (although, such a "remote code execution" can be limited; it just happens to be way too complicated in web browsers).
01:40:02 <zzo38> Still, running the program on the server provides better compatibility anyways.
01:42:21 <MDude> I'd say a lot fo that comlpication is because browsers weren't made with that in mind, and in fact are more often than not designed with letting websites "control the user experience" as an unnervingly high priority.
01:42:33 <MDude> Much like the whole idea behind autorun.
01:42:53 <zzo38> Autorun is also bad.
01:43:18 <Sgeo> "tl;dr: use authenticated encryption. use authenticated encryption. use authenticated encryption. use authenticated encryption. use authenticated encryption. use authenticated encryption. use authenticated encryption. use authenticated encryption. use authenticated encryption. use authenticated encryption."
01:43:19 <zzo38> Not only that, but user experience may depend much on user's preferences and on suitability to devices and user interfaces.
01:44:46 <zzo38> Gopher menus are very well designed to be universal regardless of preferences and suitability to devices, however, this might not have necessarily been the intention. Nevertheless, it works well.
01:45:52 <zzo38> Autorun is a bad idea, however it may be useful to have a "autostart" option that can be turned on/off. Some game systems use this.
01:46:52 <zzo38> You can include functions in BIOS and hardware for protection of system when user doesn't want it tampered with by a program.

02:23:18 <zzo38> Why?
02:24:03 <Bike> even a stopped clock
02:24:21 <oerjan> because he hasn't done so yet, and it's been a while.
02:25:15 <oerjan> and because he moved HackEgo to a different server, might mean he doesn't want to use that much resources on a single one.
02:27:19 <zzo38> What if he instead copy the file per day, or something like that?
02:27:53 <Bike> so it would always be ten years behind? how census
02:29:09 <elliott> zzo38: because people don't put work into something they don't care about unless they get paid for it.
02:29:12 <zzo38> No I mean copy yesterday's file to today.
02:31:09 <zzo38> Altneriatively since now SQLite is installed in it, you could even make it into one SQL database file (containing for all channel, date, etc), with one "IRC" table having the columns such as: timestamp, sender, command, channel, message, receiver. (The "receiver" can be applicable to such things as a KICK command.)
02:31:29 <elliott> he won't do that because he doesn't care about it.
02:31:35 <elliott> unless you're paying him.
02:32:18 <zzo38> How much does it cost?
02:33:29 <elliott> you'd have to ask Gregor for his contracting rate if he's willing to be paid for it at all, but I'm going to guess not significantly under $100/hr.
02:34:33 <coppro> elliott: is FlexibleContexts evil?
02:34:56 <elliott> no
02:35:48 <oerjan> my secret conspiracy theory is that Gregor's not making the logs searchable because Aftran has threatened to sue him if he makes it possible to find his messages.
02:36:10 <oerjan> or possibly blackmailing
02:37:04 <oerjan> coppro: FlexibleContext is like the least evil extension which is only nonstandard because they cannot agree how to standardize it, or something,
02:37:07 <oerjan> *.
02:37:12 <oerjan> *+s
02:37:44 <zzo38> Anyone who make the copy of the logs will make it searchable, though.
02:38:25 <Gregor> HackEgo and glogbot are no longer run on the same system.
02:38:34 <Gregor> That is the one and only reason why the logs aren't searchable.
02:38:48 <Gregor> They were searchable before because it was trivial to just link them into the right location.
02:39:00 <zzo38> Gregor: That is perfectly understood; the reason is why you didn't put it on the same system.
02:39:41 <Gregor> Because that system was constantly running out of hard disk space so I wanted to move one if its chroots to another system.
02:40:00 <zzo38> OK
02:40:32 <zzo38> That make sense
02:41:01 <oerjan> :,(

04:11:43 <zzo38> If X contains (1),(2),(3),(4),(5) and Y contains (1),(10),(100),(1000),(10000) then the result will be (1,10000),(2,1000),(3,100),(4,10),(5,1). Maybe it can be useful for some kinds of statistical calculations, or just if you want arbitrary matching.

04:38:30 <oerjan> coppro: also harmless.
04:39:23 <oerjan> well mostly.  actually TupleSections could get confusing if you forget an argument in a tuple.
04:39:32 <oerjan> *element
04:42:16 <oerjan> so it's evil for the same reason as the default ghc Monad and Functor instance for functions.
04:43:07 <oerjan> and like making Num instances for functions etc.
04:44:18 <oerjan> i.e. it's cute for pointless golfing but shouldn't be on by default.
04:44:38 <elliott> that argument applies to all operator sections.
04:44:53 <elliott> forgetting a tuple element isn't really a very plausible error
04:44:54 <oerjan> hm touché
04:45:14 <elliott> and it'll pretty much always give a reasonable type error, I think, since functions and tuples rarely mix

15:01:10 <int-e> Another late realization is that tracking URL shorteners are perceived as a feature. E.g. "But all things being equal, it makes sense to select [an URL shortener] that provides tracking."

21:33:48 <Phantom_Hoover> Taneb, i felt the new x-men movie was bad
21:33:50 <Phantom_Hoover> discuss
21:35:33 <Taneb> I enjoyed it, possibly due to my position as someone who doesn't really care about X-Men that much
21:37:13 <Taneb> However, it did feel a lot "Here's a bad thing, here's how we're going to fix the bad thing, we're fixing the bad thing, the bad thing is fixed"
21:37:35 <Phantom_Hoover> it's the first x-men anything i watched though
21:37:50 <Taneb> That may put you at a disadvantage.

21:43:54 <Phantom_Hoover> i don't mean it was fucked wrt to the other films, i mean it was fucked in its own reference frame
21:44:50 <Taneb> Oh, how so?
21:45:01 <Taneb> Other than the time travel mechanic being ridiculous
21:46:16 <Phantom_Hoover> well i mean, future-wolverine remembers a bunch of interesting x-men stuff happening in his past
21:46:40 <Phantom_Hoover> but in his past peter dinklage built a robot in the 70s that killed everyone so how does he remember anything else
21:47:09 <Taneb> The robots didn't get going until the 2020s
21:48:10 <Taneb> On another note, I'm watching the elections coverage and it is making me sad
21:49:03 <ais523> oh, are the results coming out now?
21:49:07 <Taneb> Yeah
21:49:13 <Taneb> North-Easts are out, at least
21:49:24 <Taneb> (2 labour, 1 ukip)
21:49:25 <Phantom_Hoover> did you all vote ukip
21:49:35 <ais523> hmm, not much of a change yet
21:49:40 <ais523> which is probably good
21:49:48 <Taneb> ais523, sharp rise in UKIP
21:49:48 <ais523> although, gah
21:49:51 <ais523> yeah, I saw it was +2
21:49:54 <ais523> which is not a lot
21:49:57 <ais523> but only 4 results have been called
21:50:00 <ais523> so it is, rather
21:50:07 <Bike> something called "National Front" won a bunch of elections in France.
21:50:18 <Phantom_Hoover> on the bright side nick griffin fucked up the hashtag on his tweet after he lost: https://twitter.com/nickgriffinmep/statuses/470672756724748288
21:50:55 <Phantom_Hoover> we're not doing as badly as france at least
21:51:27 <Taneb> Well, until this election, the candidate I voted for lost outright
21:51:57 <ais523> I'm hoping that UKIP get lib-dem-ized
21:52:21 <ais523> i.e. a fringe party that starts looking serious, inadvertently ends up in power and gets completely humiliated as a result
21:52:42 <Phantom_Hoover> ukip are doing well because people with no political views beyond 'i'm vaguely annoyed at the current system' will vote for anyone promising a new alternative
21:52:49 <Phantom_Hoover> previously these people voted lib dem
21:53:17 <ais523> I actually liked the lib dems though :-(
21:53:21 <Phantom_Hoover> the european elections won't do that because nobody actually knows what their MEP does, and ukip sure as hell aren't going to tell them
21:53:39 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: are you seriously suggesting people switched from lib dem to ukip?
21:53:48 <ais523> Phantom_Hoover: I do, I got a bunch of election propaganda because I've written to my MEPs in the past
21:53:56 <elliott> I rather suspect ukip is getting their votes from ex-tories instead
21:53:57 <ais523> elliott: I think he is, and even though it makes no political sense, I can believe it
21:54:19 <Phantom_Hoover> elliott, ukip has gained a lot of ground from labour too, from what i've read
21:54:39 <ais523> well the newspapers were spinning this as ukip vs. labour
21:54:50 <ais523> are there any scotland-specific EU parties, btw?
21:55:01 <Phantom_Hoover> i honestly don't know, see previous statement re MEP
21:55:02 <ais523> like, do the SNP run in the EU elections
21:55:16 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: labour I can believe too
21:55:16 <Phantom_Hoover> yes, they do
21:55:20 <elliott> but lib dem seems like an entirely different crowd
21:56:37 <ais523> elliott: well the political situation in Birmingham University is mostly lib dem versus labour
21:56:57 <ais523> although I supported the Conservatives (up until the last election), I was a huge anomaly
21:57:42 <Taneb> I try to avoid the people who capital-c Care about politics, but in my social bubble it's seemed Lib Dems vs Green
21:57:54 <Taneb> That's probably more representative of my social bubble than of York
21:57:59 <ais523> Taneb: that says a lot about how the maintream parties are getting on, really

21:58:53 <Phantom_Hoover> ais523, pretty well, you mean?
21:59:14 <ais523> although, the UK really needs three serious parties to avoid becoming like the US
21:59:19 <ais523> and atm, I'm not sure it has /any/ serious parties
22:01:52 <Phantom_Hoover> the US has two parties because its political system is a joke, not the other way round
22:01:58 -!- nooodl has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
22:02:15 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: more like it's a feedback loop between the two
22:02:30 <Bike> i was going to say, there's that whole thing about the voting system causing two party lockin
22:02:57 <elliott> Bike: and two parties having strong incentive not to fix the system in turn
22:03:05 <Bike> rite
22:03:08 <Phantom_Hoover> a friend summarised up the US as "a democracy designed by people who were terrified of democracy"
22:03:33 <Phantom_Hoover> hence the stalemate-ridden legislature, the 3 cogs of government each smoothly locking the others in place, etc.
22:03:47 <Bike> i looked up the procedure for running a third party in my state once, basically you have to pay ten thousand dollars and get a bazillion signatures. dems and republicans don't have to obv

22:05:40 <Bike> i moved here from luxembourg, shouldn't everyone know this by now

22:06:38 <Bike> the legislature with 90% encumbency
22:06:40 <MDude> The administraation has the president, who's elected, but most of it consists of the cabinet.
22:06:49 <ais523> Bike: in the UK, if you want to run as a candidate, you have to pay quite a bit of money but it's refunded if you get a reasonable percentage of the vote
22:07:04 <Taneb> £500 and 5% for Parliament
22:07:08 <Bike> do you have to do that even if you're the tories
22:07:10 <Taneb> £5000 for EU
22:07:15 <MDude> As oppossed to the supreme court, which is unelected and set for life.
22:07:22 <Taneb> Bike, I believe you do
22:07:30 <Bike> well there you go then.
22:07:33 <ais523> yeah but the tories always get the refund
22:07:37 <ais523> or almost always
22:07:48 <ais523> occasionally they don't in a particular constituency, but it makes the news
22:07:49 <Taneb> It's not like they can't afford it
22:08:03 <ais523> because it's so unusual
22:08:03 <MDude> I would think primaries would get democrats and republicans past any hurdles with fees.
22:08:22 -!- ais523 has quit.
22:08:31 <MDude> Just decide whoever you want and then you have a huge party putting cash behind whatever canidate it is.
22:08:48 <MDude> *candidate
22:08:54 <Phantom_Hoover> i remember an interview with some ukip guy saying how they were going to break into scotland, and the interviewer was choking back laughter for the whole thing because ukip to date haven't even come close to recouping their £500 here
22:10:59 <pikhq> It's honestly kinda weird that primaries are government-regulated...
22:11:14 <pikhq> At least in theory, primaries are a purely internal affair of the political parties.
22:11:25 <elliott> the party system seems to be weird everywhere.
22:11:28 <MDude> Yeah, I dunno what's up with that.
22:11:54 <Phantom_Hoover> pikhq, well because the two parties are the government, right?
22:12:01 <pikhq> But in general you become a member of a political party at the time you register to vote.
22:12:49 <pikhq> elliott: True facts.
22:13:33 <Taneb> It seems that re. parties, US has the opposite problem to Australia
22:14:09 <pikhq> But then the US has numerous other really weird electoral problems.
22:14:43 <pikhq> Such as the fact that the actual election of a president is by a handful of electoral college members.
22:14:46 <Taneb> Australia's system seems to be quite favourable to small parties in general, while still being harsh on individual small parties

00:56:31 <Taneb> Question:
00:56:35 <Taneb> What's a dew point?
00:57:00 <boily> it's the temperature an object needs to be for condensation to appear.
00:57:13 <pikhq> Temperature at which water vapor in the air condenses into liquid water.
00:57:18 <pikhq> i.e. the temperature at which dew forms.
00:57:26 <Taneb> OK
00:57:41 <Taneb> Doesn't look like there'll be a dew today, then
00:58:16 <boily> I mean, it's all according to current conditions. you always need to chill that object down from ambient temperature for dew to appear.
00:58:29 <boily> (or, be in the morning, as in, like, you know, regular dew.)
01:00:27 <oerjan> if the dewpoint is higher than the temperature, you're having a flood hth
01:00:57 <pikhq> Yes. If the dewpoint is higher than the ambient temperature it means the air is actually water.
01:01:05 <Taneb> OK
01:01:15 <pikhq> (dewpoint == temperature implies 100% humidity)
01:01:17 <Taneb> Not outside the realm of possibility, but I think my window is open
01:01:27 <Taneb> And I haven't drowned yet
01:03:08 <boily> drowning in you own apartment. I... don't think that's something possible.
01:03:17 <Taneb> Well, I'm on the ground floor
01:03:39 <pikhq> boily: It's definitely possible, though only in exceptional circumstances.
01:03:46 <Taneb> And drainage isn't that great here
01:05:04 <Bike> internal bleeding, for instance
01:05:12 <boily> indeed.
01:05:49 <pikhq> Making poor use of a bathtub.
01:06:04 <Taneb> Suffering from a drinking problem?
01:07:01 <boily> tieing yourself a gin tonic while taking a bath, with your bathroom's window wide open during a thunderstorm in a basement flat near an overflowing river?
01:07:16 <boily> (and coughing from your ebola)
01:07:22 <pikhq> Now that's just impressively misguided use of a bathtub.
01:07:30 <pikhq> Perhaps even "actively malicious".

12:11:53 <mroman> but what's the difference to just throwing spl 0?
12:11:58 <mroman> that also splits off lots of processes
12:12:11 <mroman> I make them jump into a core clear that splits off processes
12:12:25 <mroman> and after I'm done throwing jump bombs I move a DAT bomb into the core clear loop
12:12:42 <mroman> and enter a core clear myself
12:14:02 <impomatic> spl 0 splits off a few processes that stay in the opponent's code.  Jumping to a spl 0 / spl -1 / spl -2 tray splits off processes, that split off more processes, etc. They're also no longer running any of the opponent's code.
12:15:15 <impomatic> You could probably just let your clear wipe the trap.  If the trap contains a clear, you could make that one wipe the trap as well :-)

16:51:20 <elliott> do you see why?
16:52:51 <elliott> and Python:

16:52:52 <elliott> [(1, 4, 7), (2, 5, 8), (3, 6, 9)]

16:52:56 <elliott> [[1, 4, 7], [2, 5, 8], [3, 6, 9]]
16:52:56 <Sgeo> "The term "bass ackwards" comes to mind."
16:53:06 <elliott> the transpose behaviour is reasonable.
16:53:13 <Bike> tipes

16:53:42 <Sgeo> YES PLEASE. Except Cookies could still be useful for other things, if maybe modernized somehow
16:54:04 <mroman> sesion facility
16:54:15 <mroman> so the web-server manages sessions?
16:55:57 <Bike> elliott: it's a bit weird to count null as a function, i guess, even if it's the obvious choice
16:56:26 <elliott> Bike: you can think of it as mapping with "no function", but yeah, such is dynamically-typed languages
16:58:06 <FireFly> elliott: huh, hm, fair enough
16:58:37 <elliott> it's kinda weird to have something do the dual duty of map and zip like that
16:58:49 <elliott> but I sort of like it
16:59:07 <elliott> > map (\[x,y,z] -> (x,y,z)) . transpose $ [[a,b,c],[d,e,f],[g,h,i]]
16:59:08 <lambdabot>  [(a,d,g),(b,e,h),(c,f,i)]
16:59:29 <elliott> transpose can be thought of as basically variadic zip
16:59:53 <elliott> so if your map does variadic zipWith, it's already doing transposes, really
17:01:17 <Bike> i thought it was common for map to do "double duty" like that. i'd never heard of zip before haskell and its fixed argument counts
17:01:55 <Bike> http://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/documentation/mit-scheme-ref/Mapping-of-Lists.html eg
17:07:34 <Bike> cos if you have apply map f xs = (apply f (map1 car xs)):(map1 cdr xs); map f [] = [] as the kids say
17:08:20 <elliott> yeah, it's fairly common

18:20:57 <nooodl> oops. i didn't spellcheck it at all yes
18:21:40 <Bike> "n+1 radices" but i think the word would be "radicals", not sure
18:22:00 <nooodl> wikipedia calls the sign a "radix" but yeah i thought that was weird
18:23:15 <Bike> oh, this is pretty cute.
18:24:40 <nooodl> oh maybe gaussian rationals
18:25:20 <nooodl> i wonder how i'd get to "i". do people Actually Write, like, \sqrt(-4) = 2i
18:25:29 <Phantom_Hoover> yeah?
18:25:35 <Bike> yeah.
18:25:42 <nooodl> i was taught that's wrong because: -2i
18:25:50 <Bike> well you can throw a plus or minus on there.
18:26:04 <Bike> but you're already using repeated radicals, you must be taking the principle value
18:26:19 <Phantom_Hoover> btw minor stylistic thing, but if you have an expository footnote with 'clearly' on it then ask yourself why you need the footnote at all

18:38:53 <kmc> https://gist.github.com/kmcallister/ad0622cffc8bdc0c5684  is this code UB due to aliasing rules? if so, why doesn't GCC warn even with -Wall -Wstrict-aliasing=4
18:41:04 <Bike> does it warn in LLVM?
18:41:11 <Taneb> Sweet, the book I ordered has already been dispatched!
18:42:13 <kmc> Bike: in clang? seems not
18:42:18 <kmc> i'm going by http://gcc.godbolt.org/
18:42:25 <kmc> btw there is now http://rust.godbolt.org/
18:42:53 <kmc> in Rust the aliasing rules are actually, like, enforced
18:43:56 <Bike> just like fortran!
18:44:40 <kmc> yep lolol
18:44:54 <kmc> I don't think we give LLVM as much aliasing information as we should, though
18:45:14 <kmc> it's a recent thing to even tell it which pointers are guaranteed to be non-NULL
18:45:34 <kmc> there's also a frontend optimization whereby Option<&T> is a single word, with None represented as a NULL pointer
18:46:12 -!- mhi^ has joined.
18:49:26 <Taneb> kmc, can the compiler infer that?

18:50:52 -!- spiette has quit (Quit: .).
18:52:09 <mcpherrin> Taneb: Taneb the compiler is hard-coded to know &T is a non-null pointer
18:52:26 <kmc> and it has an optimization for any enum structurally matching enum Option<T> { None, Some(T) }
18:52:36 <kmc> it doesn't have to be specifically core::option::Option
18:53:00 -!- impomatic has joined.
18:53:01 <kmc> but I don't think it's smart enough to do, say, enum Foo { Bar, Baz, Quux(&uint) } with 0x0000...0000 and 0x0000...0001
18:53:08 <kmc> which is more of a platform specific thing
18:53:19 <kmc> I have plans to do that manually (with unsafe code) for interned strings in Servo
18:53:51 <kmc> there are fewer than 4k common strings on the web (e.g. tag names, attribute names) that you would intern at compile time

19:09:15 <mcpherrin> see "Javascript Values" on that page
19:09:45 <mcpherrin> NaN-boxing is a technique based on the fact that in IEEE-754 there are 2**47 different bit patterns that all represent NaN

19:11:22 -!- xk002 has joined.
19:11:33 <FireFly> IIRC one of V8 or SM represents doubles "plainly" and objects as pointers inside the payload of a NaN, whereas the other instead represents pointers plainly and numbers via some indirection step

20:34:50 <shachaf> Last time I used Rust about a year ago I thought people were talking about changing it.
20:34:55 <shachaf> Oh well.
20:34:58 <kmc> people are always talking about changing everything
20:35:13 <kmc> also struct-syntax enum variants are feature-gated now
20:35:19 <kmc> not sure if that's a step forward or back
20:35:29 <kmc> struct has a C ABI guarantee, but that could easily be an attribute, which it already is for enum!
20:35:40 <kmc> #[repr(C)]  (case sensitive ;_;)

20:39:55 <kmc> what about hiragana and katakana!!!
20:40:04 <Bike> huh that's a good question actually
20:40:11 <olsner> it's case but not as we know it?
20:40:11 <Bike> since a lot of time katakana is transliterated as allcaps
20:40:17 <kmc> I think those are generally not considered "case" and they don't have a 1:1 mapping?
20:40:23 <kmc> but I don't know how exactly linguists define "case"
20:40:24 <Bike> monotone: opinion
20:40:51 <kmc> konnichi wanotone

20:41:31 <kmc> case in cyrillic is extra weird
20:41:41 <monotone> I've never heard it described as being similar to case.

20:41:43 <Bike> oh yeah, how's it work? i have no idea other than vague rememberance of capital letters'
20:41:48 <kmc> print lowercase looks like smallcaps but script lowercase is totally different
20:41:57 <kmc> also script hebrew is totally different from print hebrew
20:42:05 <kmc> and script arabic is basically whatever the hell you want
20:42:18 <Bike> script english is pretty weird too... not that it's used much anymore
20:42:25 <kmc> yeah
20:42:30 <kmc> they made us learn cursive in middle school
20:42:30 <monotone> I think one of the peculiarities of cased alphabets is that the cases get mixed in normal writing.
20:42:31 <kmc> fuck all that
20:42:34 <Bike> i personally like how script german from before WWII is unreadable by modern speakers
20:42:40 <monotone> So you have rules for capitalization and whatever.
20:42:41 <Bike> because of font changes
20:42:44 <kmc> I can't even write my own name in cursive anymore; my signature has gradually decayed to a few squiggles
20:42:54 <Bike> kmc: you know they still make you write in cursive on the SAT? crazy.
20:42:57 <kmc> yeah
20:42:59 <kmc> maybe?
20:43:07 <kmc> on the ACT you have to copy a paragraph long assertion that you didn't cheat, in cursive
20:43:13 <Bike> yeah, same on the SAT.
20:43:16 <kmc> heh
20:43:23 <kmc> I don't remember that from the SAT but I took it... fuck, more than 10 years ago
20:43:34 <coppro> I never took any of those
20:43:36 <kmc> (well I took it a bunch of times as a small child but I last took it more than 10 yeras ago)
20:43:37 <coppro> :D
20:43:51 <Bike> monotone: thank god for the internet where i just lowercase everywhere (except initialisms, apaprently)
20:43:57 <monotone> With kana you don't have similar "rules" as such.
20:44:05 <shachaf> Bike: i copied that paragraph in non-cursive
20:44:09 <Bike> :O
20:44:10 <shachaf> p. rebellious imo
20:44:29 <Bike> monotone: don't you have the general rule that katakana is used for foreign pronunciations or something? not as complicated as casing, of course, but still
20:44:42 <Bike> well i guess if you took that argument far enough you could describe print/script as a case distinction, hrm.
20:45:20 <shachaf> kmc: script hebrew isn't mixed in with print hebrwe, though
20:45:22 <monotone> Bike: Yeah, but it's not considered "ungrammatical" to switch them, at least not to the degree improper case usage would be for English.
20:45:49 <shachaf> it is like cursive. which i guess is why you were talking about cursive
20:46:44 <Bike> monotone: i dunno, i mean in many contexts it's okay to ignore case rules and write in allcaps, and that's not "ungramamtical" either
20:47:32 <monotone> Bike: I guess in Latin script the use of uppercase is broken down into proper nouns, sentence-initial capitalization, emphasis, initialisms, etc.

20:47:52 <monotone> With katakana it's basically emphasis and conventional loanword spellings and not much else.
20:48:46 <kmc> do you think the two kana alphabets will eventually merge?
20:48:53 <kmc> it seems like the kind of complexity that is locally reducible
20:49:19 <monotone> I dunno if the all-caps thing is really emphasis or not, actually. Certainly it's not unheard of to spell things entirely in katakana, either, though that gives people flashbacks to half-width kana on old terminal screens.
20:50:38 <kmc> (rather than, say, ditching Han characters, which in Korea required a royally chartered committe of 15th century conlang nerds and a few centuries of colonial oppression + nationalism)
20:51:00 <monotone> kmc: I'm not sure, really. I don't really see it happening in the foreseeable future, though.
20:51:12 <kmc> well not very much of the future is forseeable
20:51:21 <kmc> it's kind of a joke to think that anyone can forsee anything
20:51:31 <kmc> but I'm on a sort of absurdist nihilist / existentialism kick lately
20:51:35 <Bike> kmc gets deep
20:51:40 <kmc> balls deep
20:51:45 <Bike> monotone: so is there a 1:1 mapping between the syllabries, though
20:51:57 <Bike> i thought there was, except for maybe something with archaic syllables
20:52:02 <monotone> Bike: Yeah, there is.

20:52:43 <int-e> (ymmv)

22:50:43 <oerjan> (i made a comment on one of the posts)
22:50:45 <boily> there's an /r/esolangs?

22:51:09 <oerjan> boily: well sure, there's a subreddit for _everything_ duh
22:51:34 <boily> my mind knows there's a subreddit for everything, but my heart disagrees.
22:51:55 <oerjan> heh
22:52:09 <Jafet> There's probably a subreddit for that.
22:52:54 <boily> how do you mapole somebody in a meta fashion? what's the adverb for “meta”?
22:53:04 <oerjan> http://www.reddit.com/r/subreddit/
22:53:15 <oerjan> "No recursing."
22:54:07 <oerjan> boily: i think technically meta may _be_ an adverb, in the original greek.
22:54:20 <oerjan> or maybe it's a preposition, not quite sure
22:54:21 <int-e> there is one one everything ... http://www.reddit.com/r/everything/ but none on anything?
22:56:06 * boily metaly mapoles Jafet. “May you suffer from pseudogrammatical hardwood!”
22:56:14 <oerjan> int-e: that has the right tagline, at least
22:57:09 <oerjan> ok wiktionary says it's both
22:57:51 <oerjan> i vaguely recall that in ancient indoeuropean, the border between adverb and preposition wasn't very fixed.
22:58:06 <int-e> ook.
22:59:06 <oerjan> of course even modern languages sometimes turn other word classes into preposition.  e.g. french "chez" and norwegian "hos" which both come from the word for house iirc, and coincidentally also mean the same thing.
22:59:15 <oerjan> *+s
23:00:32 <boily> «chez» comes from “house”?
23:01:14 <boily> «Fait chiese, chese (« maison ») en ancien français, altéré en chez en raison de son emploi proclitique, du latin casa (« maison »).
23:01:36 <boily> fr:maison, so oerjan was right.
23:03:07 <oerjan> hm although they both are from original k- somthing, wiktionary does _not_ claim fr:chez/la:casa to be cognate with no:hus/hos/en:house

23:11:00 <pikhq> I would presume that linguists are more careful than that. :)
23:11:02 <kmc> "avocado" and "guacamole" are cognates

23:11:16 <kmc> from nah:āhuacatl
23:11:22 <tswett> So the etymology things say...
23:11:43 <boily> `? nah
23:11:44 <HackEgo> nah no ambiguity here
23:12:14 <oerjan> boily: nahuatl
23:12:19 <tswett> House comes from Proto-Germanic *husan "of unknown origin"; casa "possibly" comes from PIE *kat- meaning "link, weave".
23:12:33 <tswett> So the reason the linguists don't think so is that they know better.
23:13:27 <tswett> For a while I've wanted to come up with some sort of "notation" for writing words in terms of how they came out of PIE.
23:13:32 <oerjan> tswett: well assuming they're sure that casa used to have a t.
23:13:53 <tswett> "t" could have turned into "s", no?
23:14:15 <tswett> Heck, certain "k"s turned into "s"s... somewhere down the road from Latin.
23:15:12 <boily> meh. google translate doesn't support nahuatl. there's Mongol and Néerlandais, but no nahuatl.
23:16:54 <oerjan> tswett: there presumably is a way it could have happened.

02:27:47 <kmc> have you played this game that I know only as "the paper game", where people in a circle take turns either describing a drawing with words or drawing something from a description, and you only see the previous attempt
02:28:00 <kmc> and then you read out the words after n iterations
02:28:08 <kmc> also does it have another name
02:28:31 <kmc> (it's played with picees of paper that are folded accordion-like so that you only see one drawing or description)
02:29:12 <mcpherrin> kmc: I have played this
02:29:26 <MDude> There's a website that works a bit like that, where it prompts you to draw or describe something.
02:30:06 <mcpherrin> I remember a website version of this, yeah.  and seeing the evolution
02:30:14 <mcpherrin> until inevietably somebody just draws a penis
02:30:32 <kmc> yep
02:30:36 <kmc> it's one of the easiest things to draw

03:34:37 <kmc> I'm using LD_PRELOAD in a way that is reminiscent of having two puzzle pieces that don't quite fit and just kind of smashing them together until they do
03:35:23 <mcpherrin> LD_PRELOAD is an awesome way to add features to software
03:36:34 <kmc> mcpherrin: I realized that plugins for the stage2 compiler need to be built with the stage1 compiler, but they don't quite work then either
03:36:41 <kmc> so i'm building stage3 but it's soooo slow
03:39:30 <zzo38> How do you use the LD_PRELOAD adding features into a software?
03:42:08 <mcpherrin> zzo38: Here's http:// support for open(1) via LD_PRELOAD! https://github.com/mcpherrinm/webscale/blob/master/libhttpfile.c
03:43:04 <mcpherrin> that's totally a feature
03:44:02 <zzo38> O, so you can add new features into function like that. That is good adding support for http: and data: URLs, now add ftp: and gopher: support too. (I think curl supports it?)
03:45:09 <pikhq> zzo38: Fair warning, LD_PRELOAD is a fragile fragile thing.
03:45:21 <zzo38> (Furthermore, ftp can be use for writable files; http is normally only for reading files, although there is a PUT method of HTTP if you want to)
03:46:41 <zzo38> Still there are other way to make in such supports added, depending on the software. For example a software using SQLite, you can add support for other file by adding a VFS by loading an extension, and you can also modify the triggers in the database to possibly add features in.
03:48:18 <zzo38> Do you like stuff I wrote yesterday about knock out seven opponent's cards in Pokemon card?
03:48:33 <Bike> hated it
03:48:41 <zzo38> OK
03:49:01 <zzo38> It is an uncommon situation, though.
03:55:22 <zzo38> Why do you hate flipperless pinball game? I don't hate it; the feature of pinball game that I do hate is the games in which you can earn free balls for making the high score.
03:55:47 <zzo38> (I don't mind free games for making the high score, though.)
03:57:24 <zzo38> And, why don't you hate that feature?

04:05:21 <Bike> useful, i like it
04:06:09 <mcpherrin> kmc: time to go write some lints!
04:06:10 <oerjan> kmc: it's not actually pointing at the e plz fix twh hth
04:06:41 <Bike> ooh good point
04:07:25 <Bike> wow, did you manage to write a general code analyzer thing that seems reasonably structured
04:07:28 <Bike> that's pretty good rust
04:07:55 <Bike> i still ahve no idea how to read these type signatures
04:11:51 <Sgeo> It's kind of funny how the web both forces you to use one language and frees you to use any language

04:19:57 <kmc> it's a hack though, I hardcoded the width of "struct "
04:20:08 <kmc> I don't think the parser saves the information you need to do this right
04:20:15 <kmc> I could fix that but I think I will get high and watch television instead
04:20:58 <Bike> m,ad men?
04:21:05 <mcpherrin> kmc: so it would break if i did "struct            \n\neeeeeeeeeeeee"
04:21:31 <oerjan> kmc: shocking

04:36:17 <shachaf> high kmc
04:56:16 <kmc> Bike: probably The Americans, Veep, Silicon Valley, Mad Men in that order
04:56:19 <kmc> might fall asleep at some point
04:56:43 <kmc> <Bike> wow, did you manage to write a general code analyzer thing that seems reasonably structured
04:56:44 <Bike> but if you fall asleep while high the weed will crawl into your nose and strangle you!
04:56:55 <kmc> well the structure a is pretty standard AST visitor
04:57:14 <kmc> the more interesting thing imo is that it's a plugin which integrates with the compiler
04:57:25 <kmc> so you can (well, will be able to) control it with the usual warning flags
04:57:35 <kmc> and it can do things like ask the types of inferred local lets
04:57:36 <Bike> well i mean, right. i'm more used to something along the lines of LD_PRELOAD, you know, one variable, terrible
04:57:47 <Bike> argh i would love that
04:58:15 <kmc> yeah so most of the work here was just redoing all the plumbing around the existing loadable syntax extensions to turn it into a cleaner more general plugin mechanism

05:42:16 <kmc> <Bike> i still ahve no idea how to read these type signatures
05:42:17 <kmc> which ones?
05:42:27 <kmc> we're losing the ~funny @variable &sigils
05:42:32 <kmc> the first two are gone
05:42:52 <shachaf> whoa
05:42:58 <kmc> & is probably staying though
05:43:20 <kmc> I think Rust has a lot less sugar now than when I started using it
05:43:21 <Bike> well uh basically any of them. "&mut self, it: &ast::Item, cx: Context" i guess cx, it, and self are names, and Context and &ast::Item are types, but i don't know what & is or what &mut means
05:43:37 -!- tertu has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds).
05:43:44 <kmc> & is a reference aka "borrowed pointer"
05:44:05 <kmc> points to something, you can use it, but someone else owns it and is responsible for destroying it eventually
05:44:17 <mcpherrin> At runtime it's a plain pointer
05:44:23 <kmc> references have lifetimes, sometimes written in as &'t Item
05:44:26 <mcpherrin> &mut is the same but mutable
05:44:27 <kmc> usually inferred
05:44:35 <lifthrasiir> ~ and @ are gone, and more funny looking beasts like Rc<> Gc<> Box<> Cell<> RefCell<> are here to stay.
05:44:49 <Bike> why is &mut before the name though
05:44:51 <kmc> a given thing in memory can have zero or more & pointers, or exactly one &mut pointer to it
05:45:00 <kmc> &mut is a variant of & that lets you mutate through the pointer
05:45:08 <Bike> exactly one, like, at all?
05:45:23 <kmc> yes, well, things get "frozen"
05:45:34 <kmc> if I do  let mut x = 3; f(&mut x)
05:45:51 <kmc> then I lose the ability to modify an x for as long as that reference lives
05:45:57 <mcpherrin> Bike: "self" is kinda a weird special case
05:46:06 <Bike> of course it is
05:46:11 <kmc> if f doesn't store it anywhere, then I get to modify it as soon as f returns
05:46:20 <mcpherrin> for example you'd have it: &mut ast::Item
05:46:30 <mcpherrin> so it's not "before the name" usually
05:46:55 * mcpherrin doesn't like rust's self handling right now, a little too special
05:46:56 <kmc> yeah, the & in «&foo: T» and in «&self» mean opposite things
05:46:59 <kmc> :/
05:47:08 <kmc> & in patterns means to remove a layer of indirection and look inside
05:47:12 <kmc> like any other "constructor" in a pattern
05:47:35 <kmc> but there's no way to pattern-destructure self in an args list, anyway
05:47:47 <Bike> is self the OO self btw
05:47:51 <kmc> basically
05:48:02 <kmc> impl Foo { fn f(&self) { ... } }
05:48:10 <kmc> defines a method that you would call like foo.f()
05:48:28 <Bike> right.
05:48:38 <kmc> it's not just sugar for f(foo) because it affects name lookup too
05:49:05 <kmc> if you can access a type then you can access all its methods, even though you didn't import them by name
05:49:22 <kmc> that's true for methods that are applied "directly" to the type like that
05:49:29 <kmc> mcpherrin: what do we call those?
05:49:42 <kmc> you can also define methods on a typeclass and then do «impl Bar for Foo»
05:49:54 <kmc> s/typeclass/trait/ but basically the same thing
05:50:03 <kmc> in that case the user also needs to import the trait Bar to see the methods
05:50:43 <lifthrasiir> kmc: I thought a special handling of self would be gone after UFCS, wouldn't it?
05:50:52 <kmc> I don't even know what UFCS stands for
05:50:54 <lifthrasiir> (aaaaand I didn't know mcpherrin is here) 
05:51:02 <lifthrasiir> "Uniform Function Call Syntax" to be exact
05:51:04 <mcpherrin> lifthrasiir: I was about to say the same ;P
05:51:25 <kmc> lifthrasiir: oh, so you can write foo.f instead of |x| foo.f(x) ?
05:51:33 <kmc> that's good
05:51:36 <lifthrasiir> kmc: I think so
05:51:41 <kmc> self has to at least be special wrt name resolution, though
05:51:49 <lifthrasiir> the details are not yet finalized but afaik is in discussion
05:51:54 <mcpherrin> kmc: so you can say method(foo, x) as well as foo.method(x)
05:51:56 <kmc> okay
05:51:59 <kmc> btw, rip "do" sugar
05:52:12 <mcpherrin> this is important for traits sharing names
05:52:44 <mcpherrin> impl A for Foo { fn m(){}} impl B for Foo { fn m() {}} breaks right now
05:52:57 <kmc> it was nerfed in order to support the front-of-rust-lang.org use case of "do spawn"
05:53:04 <kmc> and then it was useless so removed entirely
05:53:06 <fowl> UFCs are great, i use them in nimrod
05:53:13 <kmc> and now rust-lang.org doesn't have "do spawn" either
05:53:18 <mcpherrin> B::m(foo)
05:53:26 <fowl> x.f(y) #=> f(x,y) so much sense is made
05:53:41 <kmc> programming languages are like sausages
05:53:58 <fowl> good pizza topping
05:54:02 <Bike> sometimes i wonder how food scientists feel about that expression.
05:54:10 <kmc> heh
05:54:24 <kmc> you're at a big uni, you could find some and ask
05:54:47 <mcpherrin> there was a dude who designs lean cuisines doing an IAma thing on reddit a year or two ago...
05:55:02 <Bike> i'm not at the main campus right now but yeah i was thinking about all the books on sausage production in the library
05:55:21 <fowl> whats reddit
05:55:29 <kmc> Bike: we also have both & and "ref" in patterns
05:55:34 <kmc> and they are opposites kinda
05:55:46 <Bike> there is more than one wrong way to do it
05:56:00 <kmc> match x { Some(&y) => ... }  x has type Option<&T>, y has type T
05:56:17 <kmc> match x { Some(ref y) => ... }  x has type Option<T>, y has type &T
05:56:31 <kmc> ok so they are exactly opposites
05:56:35 <mcpherrin> kmc: a lot of my early rust code was horrific for lack of understanding the & / ref relationship :p
05:56:58 <mcpherrin> I'd revert to "copy foo"ing all over instead of using borrowed pointers right
05:57:08 <kmc> mm
05:57:40 -!- tertu has joined.
05:57:53 <kmc> one of the many flaws of C++ is that there's no obvious indication when you lapse into that style
05:58:26 <kmc> i guess this is one reason that major style guides say to disable the copy constructor and operator= unless you have a good reason to use them
05:59:04 <kmc> although Rust still lets you do implicit copies of large POD
05:59:22 <kmc> and it lets you use generic stuff with a Clone bound that is not obvious
06:00:55 <kmc> Bike: as far as the core language is concerned, freezing and alias checking is all done at compile time
06:01:14 <kmc> but there are library types which use unsafe code to provide mutable cells with runtime checks
06:01:24 <Bike> i'm pretty sure i have no idea what you're talking about, you probably shouldn't bother :<
06:01:25 <kmc> you can go from an &RefCell<T> to an &mut T, roughly
06:01:29 <kmc> alright
06:02:17 <kmc> this weekend i got a few irl opportunities to talk at maximum speed about how cool rust is
06:02:23 <kmc> that's fun
06:03:05 <shachaf> wow that's p. fast

06:05:03 <Bike> notecorelanguageisnotstableandmaychangeinunforseennontrivialfashions.bepreparedtofilecompilerbugs.mozillacorporationisnotatfaultifyouusethisinaspaceproberightnow
06:06:46 <mcpherrin> I'm pretty happy with a lot of the direction Rust is going, though I think we'll need to re-sugar the langauge once it's settled down semantically
06:07:40 <kmc> yeah
06:07:41 <mcpherrin> kmc: remember when rust was the exciting garbage-collected language with typestate :p
06:07:48 <kmc> no I don't
06:07:51 <mcpherrin> haha
06:07:59 <mcpherrin> neither do I ;p
06:08:09 <mcpherrin> @ was implemented before ~ or &
06:09:19 <kmc> I like telling people who've only used high level languages about the bizarre forms of undefined behavior in C, and then ending it with "this language and its relatives are used for most systems in planes, cars, medical devices, nuclear reactors, etc."
06:10:13 <mcpherrin> kmc: I'd still trust C in a plane over, say, python :p
06:10:24 <Bike> math can't even define 0^0, therefore we have all been doomed for centuries
06:10:28 <kmc> true
06:10:39 <kmc> did you ever see the C++ coding standards for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter
06:10:48 <kmc> www.stroustrup.com/JSF-AV-rules.pdf
06:11:04 <mcpherrin> I recall reading them but remember zero content
06:11:19 <kmc> i mostly recall being scared about planes that run C++
06:11:57 <M28> Bike, however, most teorems assume 0⁰ = 1
06:12:03 <M28> theorems*
06:12:13 <Bike> wait, is this the eurofighter
06:12:25 <kmc> also this weekend I got two opportunities to explain what the C99 "restrict" keyword does and why it's useful
06:12:29 <Bike> no, it isn't. that woudl be funny
06:12:29 <M28> mostly because they're too lazy to define a case for when the exponent is 0
06:12:46 <kmc> the french parts of the eurofighter are programmed in ocaml
06:12:51 <M28> kmc, and did you explain that it's almost never used because no one bothers to?
06:13:06 <M28> in fortran, "restrict" is the default
06:13:15 <Bike> really? i suppose that makes sense
06:13:27 <Bike> that makes the grounding of the french air force from that one virus seem a bit weird
06:13:28 <kmc> Rust is even more draconian about aliasing
06:13:37 <M28> yep
06:14:01 <M28> I like how rust does it, but it may be difficult to make that change
06:14:16 <M28> *to adapt to that change
06:14:21 <kmc> oh but I forgot to talk about the reverse memcpy aliasing flash plugin sound fuckup
06:14:22 <Bike> f-35 also has some ada from the -22, it seems
06:14:24 <mcpherrin> -fno-strict-aliasing aww yeah
06:14:31 <kmc> -fun-times
06:15:10 <zzo38> I think 0^0=1 is most sensible kind of thing to me
06:16:01 <Slereah> 0^0 works by analytic continuation of x^0
06:16:01 <Bike> yes yes everything must have a definition isn't that so
06:16:06 <M28> it is, but then you can't assume that "0^n = 0" everywhere
06:16:12 <Slereah> Not so much by 0^x
06:16:17 <Slereah> Or whatever else
06:16:23 <mcpherrin> there's a good page on 0^0 at http://www.askamathematician.com/2010/12/q-what-does-00-zero-raised-to-the-zeroth-power-equal-why-do-mathematicians-and-high-school-teachers-disagree/
06:16:23 <Slereah> Kind of a big discontinuity
06:16:38 <M28> at least it's not like 1/0 :)
06:16:49 <Slereah> You can do 1/0
06:17:00 <M28> with limits, on both directions
06:17:09 <Slereah> Oh, even without limits
06:17:12 <Slereah> for instance if you do it in the one point compactification of R or C
06:17:17 <Bike> why did i bother using an example
06:18:16 <M28> I was using Microsoft Office Word the other day to write equations
06:18:19 <M28> it's... not bad
06:18:25 <Slereah> IT IS >:|
06:18:32 <M28> I mean, it could be better, but it supports some neat stuff
06:18:37 <Slereah> Donald Knuth did not die in vain!
06:18:40 <M28> lol
06:18:42 <zzo38> Zero to power of negative numbers may be undefined though.
06:18:46 <mcpherrin> yeah I surprisingly don't hate the equation editor in word
06:19:37 <Bike> i was supposed to use the equation editor to do chem homework. so weird
06:19:52 <M28> really?
06:19:55 <M28> I found it quite intuitive
06:20:05 <M28> easier than latex IMO
06:20:18 <M28> not as powerful as it once you need to do complicated stuff, though
06:20:27 <Bike> weird as in weird that i was supposed to
06:20:36 <M28> oh
06:20:45 <Bike> not really a lot of math in gen chem.
06:20:49 <mcpherrin> Maple's math document thing is pretty awesome if you want WYSIWYG mathing
06:21:00 <mcpherrin> (not to mention it can do the actual math as you go too)
06:22:09 <Slereah> I really like LaTeX because, through my studies, I read some terrible things
06:22:11 <Bike> subscripts and superscripts alone aren't so great for writing out a beta particle or whatever, i guess.
06:22:16 <Slereah> I once read a theoretical physics thesis
06:22:21 <Slereah> Entirely done on typewriter
06:22:45 <zzo38> I find Plain TeX is really good to write math, especially since I can have macros in the file too. (It is good for many other things, too.)
06:23:08 <M28> I like to give people the number "(-1) ^(-i)" and ask them what value it is
06:23:15 <Slereah> Two macros that are especially good are
06:23:21 <Bike> it's some bullshit with e right
06:23:23 <Slereah> integral from -infinity to infinity
06:23:26 <Slereah> and 1/2
06:23:28 <M28> most people that haven't had any complex numbers class won't guess that it's 23.1406...
06:23:31 <kmc> yeah proper mathematical typesetting used to be hella expensive
06:23:33 <M28> it's kinda weird
06:23:46 <Slereah> They are very long to type and happen all the time
06:24:07 <kmc> http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ComplexExponentiation.html jeeez
06:24:10 <M28> not if you're working with discrete maths or any other area of math >_>

06:26:12 <Slereah_> Wolfram alpha, what is -1^-i!
06:26:19 <M28> Slereah, you need params
06:26:27 <lifthrasiir> zzo38: or "use W|A."
06:26:28 <Bike> if you remember that a^b = exp(b*ln(a)) your life shall improve
06:26:28 <M28> (-1)^(-i)
06:26:36 <zzo38> For 1/2 macro, do you mean something like:  \def\onehalf{{1\over2}}
06:26:38 <lifthrasiir> http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%28-1%29%5E%28-i%29 indeed, it gives a correct answer

06:27:47 <Bike> i should probably get a cas instead of using wolfram all the time, but, lazy
06:28:09 <Slereah_> I guess a useful macro if you work in discrete math would be

06:29:53 <M28> you don't even need that formula to solve that though
06:30:09 <M28> if you replace (-1) with e^(pi * i)

06:41:55 <shachaf> kmc: how often do people make "rusty" puns about rust
06:42:22 <kmc> not that often
06:42:52 <shachaf> o
06:44:44 <kmc> shachaf: it's really hard to apply equational reasoning in Rust :/
06:44:54 <kmc> because of lifetimes and moves and stuff
06:45:20 <kmc> lifetime inference is imperfect
06:46:07 <kmc> shachaf: also with lifetimes, contravariant is the "normal" case and covariant is the unusual case
06:46:15 <kmc> though this is somewhat just a matter of notation
06:47:06 <shachaf> how do you mean
06:47:18 <kmc> which?

06:54:22 <shachaf> what did the diagram say
06:54:50 <olsner> the rust compile steps in rustc's build system are called "oxidize", that's sort of a pun
06:55:20 <olsner> it's fun because there's some random thing written in rust that's called oxidize too

07:06:18 <kmc> wut
07:09:44 <olsner> github definitely has some magic object store for git repos (to share objects between forks, if nothing else), so it might be possible for anyone to upload objects but not move the tags/branches
07:09:59 <olsner> is that commit included in any branch/tag?
07:10:20 <mroman> Thta commit was submitted with e-mail root@debian
07:10:39 <shachaf> It was more than a year ago.
07:10:40 <mroman> maybe github looks at the e-mail adress to find out who's the committer
07:11:02 <shachaf> Ah. Hm.
07:12:39 <shachaf> There is also this commit: https://github.com/FMNSSun/Burlesque/commit/0ebd91cecb6f4fada2a7107cd8f3ec722372cb5d
07:12:51 <shachaf> Maybe someone just sent you a "pull request" last year and you forgot?
07:13:08 <mroman> No
07:13:14 <olsner> mroman: it does - so it's fairly easy to "fake" commits as any other github user by just entering them as the author
07:13:42 <mroman> olsner: I see
07:16:07 <fowl> mroman, its also possible they changed their username and you dont remember it
07:17:08 <olsner> if the email was root@debian, the likely explanation is that it's you or someone else on the project who made that on a computer before remembering to configure their name in git
07:17:29 <olsner> (as root?)
07:17:41 <mroman> fowl: Nobody ever helped me on Burlesque
07:17:49 <mroman> there was never anybody contributing code other than me
07:18:12 <olsner> FMNSSun is also you?
07:18:13 <mroman> olsner: Looks like I made that change from my linux VM
07:18:20 <mroman> olsner: FMNSSun is me
07:18:55 <olsner> I saw some commits in the repo as mroman too, I think
07:20:18 <mroman> yeah

08:03:34 <shachaf> i think base 32 usually drops 0 and 1 because of ambiguity with o and i
08:05:08 <mroman> Why?
08:05:23 <mroman> for human written base 32 stuff... ok

08:09:10 <shachaf> yes
08:09:12 <mroman> I don't use it :)
08:09:35 <shachaf> there are lots of different characters. i don't see why you'd pick 36 other than for interacting with humans
08:14:22 <mroman> " The characters "0" and "O" are easily
08:14:23 <mroman>       confused, as are "1", "l", and "I""
08:14:37 <mroman> Why would a human attempt to decode base32 encoded text
08:15:20 <mroman> also using = as pad for urls is probably not a good idea
08:16:00 <lifthrasiir> tech supports?
08:17:03 <shachaf> why are you encoding a thing as human-
08:17:11 <shachaf> language characters if not for humans to read
08:18:04 <mroman> that's my question
08:18:23 <mroman> why do you ban characters from an encoding because humans confuse them
08:18:33 <mroman> no human's gonna decode it by hand so why bother
08:19:29 <shachaf> so what's the point of base 36 here
08:20:28 <mroman> what
08:20:33 <mroman> none
08:20:56 <shachaf> ok
08:20:58 <shachaf> oh, wait

10:29:42 <mroman> God no :)
10:29:49 <mroman> That would be tough without I/O.
10:30:08 <mroman> also... output is only produce on termination
10:30:17 <mroman> so that would make it pretty much impossible
10:30:42 <mroman> (i.e. a thruth-machine can't really be implemented in burlesque
10:30:57 <mroman> probably.
10:31:08 <mroman> Maybe it'll work for some scenarios thanks to lazyness and whatnot)

21:25:56 <b_jonas> zzo38: how does it take its input? is it an aggregate function?
21:26:02 <zzo38> b_jonas: Yes
21:26:18 <zzo38> So far I have functions QUANTILE/2, MEDIAN/1, and STDDEV/1.
21:26:30 <b_jonas> dunno, perhaps arbitrary moment and arbitrary central moment
21:26:31 <zzo38> (MEDIAN(x) is just short for QUANTILE(x,0.5))
21:27:21 <b_jonas> also, maybe something like QUANTILE that takes an integer ordinal instead of a fractional ratio
21:27:27 <zzo38> I made up a program in SQL for ratio of ones to zeroes in the binary representation of a number N. It is:   WITH X(X,Y) AS (SELECT 0,'0' UNION ALL SELECT X+1,BASECONV(X+1,10,2) FROM X LIMIT 128) SELECT CAST(SUBSTRING_COUNT(Y,'1') AS REAL)/SUBSTRING_COUNT(Y,'0') FROM X;
21:28:05 <Bike> the ratio is always zero since there are as many leading zeroes as you want, duh
21:28:33 <zzo38> b_jonas: If you want an integer offset then you can use the OFFSET clause, though.
21:29:07 <zzo38> (You can also use ORDER BY, LIMIT, and OFFSET if for some reason you want the uninterpolated median of non-numerical data.)
21:29:21 <b_jonas> zzo38: hmm
21:29:51 <b_jonas> zzo38: I don't think you can do that if you GROUP BY and want a quantile from each group
21:30:04 <Bike> harmonic mean! what if i want to compute that

21:31:12 <kmc> println!("{}", uncomment!(/* 3 */))
21:31:18 <b_jonas> zzo38: mind you, I think you can still do ORDER BY in a subquery, but that gets ugly and possibly inefficient
21:31:24 <zzo38> kmc: What is that?
21:31:32 <Bike> i'm afraid, kmc
21:31:36 <zzo38> b_jonas: Yes it is what I was thinking of, too
21:31:39 <kmc> a silly macro
21:31:51 <kmc> one which you can't actually write, but we were discussing if it would be possible or not with a certain change

21:31:57 <Bike> rust
21:32:02 <Bike> why is uncomment effectful

21:32:13 <Bike> no?
21:32:16 <kmc> b_jonas: you can't actually do that, though

21:32:37 <zzo38> I don't think that it is necessary to be able to write such a macro, but even if a change allows it, that is not necessarily a problem
21:32:44 <Bike> no varargs yet or something?
21:32:45 <kmc> yes, because the format string is parsed and typechecked at compile time
21:33:02 <Bike> tsk.
21:33:06 <kmc> we support calling variadic C function but otherwise there is no varargs, yeah
21:33:29 <kmc> but handling format strings at compile time seems better, anyway
21:33:35 <kmc> although I don't know how it interacts with i18n
21:33:48 <Bike> lacking the ability at all to do it at runtime though, that rubs me the wrong way
21:33:51 <kmc> GCC also typechecks format strings at compile time, using a hardcoded hack
21:33:54 <zzo38> Is the standard deviation the square root of the variance? That would be easy to fix
21:33:58 <int-e> > Test.Printf.printf "%s" () :: String
21:34:00 <lambdabot>  Not in scope: ‘Test.Printf.printf’
21:34:00 <lambdabot>  Perhaps you meant one of these:
21:34:00 <lambdabot>    ‘Text.Printf.printf’ (imported from Text.Printf),
21:34:00 <lambdabot>    ‘Text.Printf.hPrintf’ (imported from Text.Printf)

21:34:10 <int-e> aww
21:34:11 <kmc> Bike: I'm not sure if we have that ability right now but it's not too hard to provide, anyway

21:34:19 <lambdabot>  "*Exception: printf: bad formatting char 's'
21:34:36 <Bike> i'd rather println be a function with a nicely incorporated compile-time function to deal with the usual stuff, but nobody seems to want to do this
21:34:57 <Bike> zzo38: there's this whole thing with bessel's correction though.
21:35:02 <kmc> Bike: there is a println function too
21:35:14 <zzo38> What is bessel's correction doing with it?
21:35:17 <kmc> println!("...", ...)  => println(format!("...", ...)) roughly
21:35:42 <int-e> with a template haskell version, which is pretty much a macro, it could produce a type error instead.
21:35:51 <Bike> zzo38: the standard deviation (variance) of a sample and the standard deviation (variance) of a population are computed differently
21:36:11 <kmc> although it's not in scope by default
21:36:19 <zzo38> Bike: Yes I know that, but is it relevant?
21:36:20 * int-e wonders whether ocaml's Format.printf machinery can be reproduced in a library
21:36:32 <Bike> well it's relevant if you're just calling it "stddev" without saying which it is
21:36:33 <kmc> and I think println(format!(...)) has an intermediate allocation that println!() avoids
21:36:38 -!- oerjan has joined.
21:36:46 <b_jonas> zzo38: sure it is, in the sense that you should document which one the function computes

21:41:57 <b_jonas> look up the numerically stable formulas somewhere

22:13:56 <shachaf> Overly Enthusiastic Resources Jeopardize Acronym Nomenclature
22:14:01 <shachaf> hth
22:15:47 <kmc> Bike: so a C++ lambda evaluates to an instance of an anonymous class generated by the compiler
22:16:03 <kmc> the captured variables of the lambda are member data of that class
22:16:08 <Bike> isn't that a box?
22:16:12 <int-e> with a () operator? sounds sane ... in the context of C++
22:16:17 <kmc> int-e: yes
22:16:46 <b_jonas> kmc: yes, but that's almost so difficult to prove that they practically only say that to be able to define the semantics of lambdas properly
22:16:47 <kmc> Bike: "box" refers to a heap box, used to give things uniform runtime representation
22:17:02 <Bike> oh
22:17:03 <kmc> the function object could live on the stack or as a field in another object
22:17:05 <kmc> without a heap allocation
22:17:09 <kmc> and the operator() call is not virtual
22:17:18 <kmc> so if you call map with a lambda argument, the compiler can even inline the lambda into the map
22:18:09 <kmc> if you *do* want dynamic polymorphism, you up-cast the object of unspecified type to std::function<...>, which is a superclass
22:18:39 <kmc> and (like other cases of up-casting to call virtual methods) you can only do that cast on a pointer or reference, not on the object by value
22:18:49 <kmc> because a std::function<...> has a different size than some arbitrary subclass of it
22:19:06 -!- mihow has quit (Quit: mihow).
22:19:14 <kmc> anyway the ability to stuff free variables into a bigger struct is super useful
22:19:22 <kmc> for example in the iterators API
22:19:29 <kmc> in Rust, I mean
22:20:10 <kmc> myiter.map(|x| ...) will return a struct which is another iterator, and if you moved the free variables of that lambda into the struct, you could pass the iterator around more freely
22:20:37 -!- Sgeo has joined.
22:20:42 <kmc> instead, in current rust, the free variables live on the stack of the caller, and the iterator lifetime's is bound to that activation frame
22:20:57 <kmc> and you can't inline the lambda into other stuff
22:21:02 <kmc> it's just passed as a function pointer
22:22:06 <kmc> that makes it pretty similar to GCC's nested functions extension, actually
22:22:10 <Bike> oh, that's nice.
22:22:23 <kmc> except the borrow checker will complain if you try to return such a lambda
22:24:01 <Bike> http://www.theonion.com/articles/new-stem-education-initiative-inspires-girls-to-ea,36126/
22:24:04 <kmc> like so: http://goo.gl/7kNFUA

22:25:08 -!- Guest32551 has quit (Quit: Leaving).
22:25:17 <kmc> can do which?
22:25:49 <b_jonas> it can have the variables live on the stack so the closure is valid only until its creating function
22:26:00 <kmc> I know, I said that above
22:26:03 <b_jonas> yep
22:26:11 <kmc> this topic started with me saying that C++ lambdas can do things Rust lambdas can't

22:31:20 <kmc> of course, until the templates are expanded, there's nothing checking that F has an operator() which takes A and returns B
22:31:25 <kmc> because C++ templates are duck-typed
22:31:31 <kmc> but the analogous thing in Rust would be checked via the trait system
22:31:43 <kmc> and some day C++ will get "concepts" to do the same

00:03:48 <oerjan> haskell
00:03:50 <M28> right
00:04:11 <oerjan> i guess its notation for complex numbers is a little awkward, a + ib is a :+ b
00:04:17 <M28> yeah
00:04:43 <M28> I calculated that another way
00:04:51 <M28> e^(pi * i) = -1
00:05:02 <M28> (e^(pi*i))^(-i) = ...
00:05:05 <M28> e^pi
00:05:54 <oerjan> well the point here is that log is a multivalued function with several branches, because e^(z + 2pi*n*i) == e^z
00:06:09 <oerjan> and if you choose a different solution, you can get other results.
00:07:17 <oerjan> and it so happens that e^(pi * i) and e^(pi * (-i)) are both -1

00:33:16 <zzo38> What is the maximum number of opponent's card you can knock out in one turn in a game of Pokemon card, assuming you have 6 side cards remaining? What is it if you instead assume you have an unlimited number of side cards remaining?
00:33:32 <Sgeo> zzo38: hey, I learned how to play Pokemon TCG yesterday
00:33:56 <Sgeo> Interesting that defenders don't fight back
00:34:10 <elliott> int-e: the error correction is kind of silly
00:34:12 <zzo38> Sgeo: Then see, how you can understand my puzzles. Note that they use the old rules (which I prefer)
00:34:30 <Sgeo> The only rules I know are the ones my friend showed me.
00:34:49 <Sgeo> Plus I don't really know the cards themselves, just the rules. Barely.
00:35:20 <zzo38> It is not necessary to know the cards to know my puzzles, because they have the copy of all of the cards that are relevant.
00:35:26 <int-e> elliott: agreed, but it's usually harmless

00:37:25 <oerjan> int-e: a simple way of fixing that particular case is of course to make an _actual_ @info command.
00:38:15 <zzo38> There is two games of Pokemon card in GameBoy, and I played both
00:39:46 <zzo38> But, maybe we should work to make up a new implementation in C or SQL or Haskell or whatever, therefore it is also possible to fix it to experiment new rule, add new cards, define new tournament formats, etc. And it can even connect using any telnet client then; it doesn't have to require any special software (but can be optionally provided, perhaps).
00:40:42 <zzo38> (Also because I don't like the new rules)

00:43:46 <Sgeo> Does a browser count as special software? I assume that this backend you're envisioning would be compatible with any frontend, just needs a compatibility layer like a web server
00:44:22 <zzo38> Sgeo: Yes, you could allow it to be used with a browser by adding such a compatibility layer, but by itself it works fine with only a telnet client and nothing else; really simple.
00:44:23 <int-e> oerjan: that's what I want to do, actually.
00:48:21 -!- tromp_ has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
00:49:03 <zzo38> Yes I am saying it would be compatible with any frontend; the built-in software is for use with telnet but you can add on other thing to allow other client software to be used too
00:50:42 <Sgeo> Ick the Pokemon TCG online thing doesn't actually teach you how to play
00:50:56 <Sgeo> More assume you know how to play and teaches you how to use the software
00:54:54 <zzo38> I have seen it when someone had this software, and isn't very good. It is also one reason, I would rather have a new kind. Perhaps it may be sensible to use SQL, since that way you can store all of the cards in the database. Of course, it can combine SQL with C if you need to use C codes as well.

The symbol was much later on (1976) viewed by Knuth as a capital omicron,[10] probably in reference to his definition of the symbol Omega. The digit zero should not be used."

06:37:09 <zzo38> The RETURN command in BASIC can have a line number/label specified, and if so then it will not return to where it is called, but to the specified line instead. This is somewhat like the FORGET command in INTERCAL. (And, I have used it to imitate a DO FORGET #1)
06:49:11 <b_jonas> zzo38: what? which dialect of BASIC has that?
06:52:13 <zzo38> Well, I was using QBASIC
06:52:58 <zzo38> You can specify RETURN by itself to return from a GOSUB, or you can write something like RETURN 123 which means it will return from a GOSUB but instead of returning to the line after the GOSUB, it will go to line 123.
06:57:30 <newsham> sounds like "throw"

19:16:07 <kmc> myname: where does an = appear in a guard?
19:16:09 <kmc> but I think the answer is "no"
19:16:28 <myname> | foo = <- right there
19:17:01 <kmc> er, that's after the guard isn't it
19:17:05 <kmc> f x | x < 3 = 5
19:17:30 <kmc> in H'10 you can have multiple guards separated by commas, but not by |
19:17:46 <myname> i want subguards
19:17:55 <kmc> with only boolean guards this isn't useful, you might as well write | x && y instead of | x, y
19:17:59 <kmc> but with pattern guards it becomes useful

19:33:34 <Taneb> Had an exam today, it went alright bar the last question
19:33:43 <Taneb> I forgot a few things relevant to it
19:33:48 <Taneb> So, I got like 90%
19:35:46 <Bicyclidine> 90% more than i got!
19:35:48 <Taneb> One of the things I forgot was what an orthogonal matrix was
19:36:36 <Taneb> Also!
19:36:42 <Taneb> What's the rank of a zero matrix?
19:37:14 <Bicyclidine> zero, i think?
19:37:31 <Taneb> I thought 1
19:38:23 -!- MDream has joined.
19:39:39 -!- MDude has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
19:39:47 <Bicyclidine> well, wolfram says zero, and more importantly the subspace generated is just the zero point, which of course has a dimension of zero
19:39:54 <Taneb> Actually, my answer was "...1?"
19:40:37 <Bicyclidine> it makes more sense for me to think of matrices as being linear transforms in space rather than colums or whatever, maybe that will change when i actually take a linalg class
19:41:31 -!- MindlessDrone has quit (Quit: MindlessDrone).
19:42:45 <Phantom_Hoover> i've always hated linear algebra for emphasising the rectangles of numbers over the actual linear stuff
19:44:00 <Phantom_Hoover> like jordan normal forms, i had no idea what the fuck they were until a week or two before the exams when i read more closely and was like "oh so you're changing the basis to the eigenvectors or the nearest alternative"
19:45:18 <Bicyclidine> http://www.axler.net/DwD.pdf ~
19:46:07 <Bicyclidine> incidentally i never noticed that matrices having characteristic polynomials implies polynomials have companion matrices
19:49:03 <Bicyclidine> most of my high school experience with matrices was computing determinants of 5x5 matrices and shit like that so i grew to loathe them
19:49:42 <Phantom_Hoover> 5x5 is just sadism
19:50:31 <Phantom_Hoover> although my linear algebra course thought it was reasonable to make you compute a bunch of powers of a 6x6 matrix which is just fantastically pointless
19:51:27 -!- nooodl has joined.
19:52:09 <Taneb> The biggest matrix I had to deal with today was 3x3
19:52:16 <Taneb> ...with a determinant of 36^3
19:52:50 <Bicyclidine> total bullshit
19:53:01 <Bicyclidine> well, you're in college, i imagine you could use a calculator like a fucking human being
19:54:07 <Taneb> Friday I've got an exam on regular expressions and finite-state automata
19:54:18 <Taneb> But tomorrow I have two birthday parties to attend!
19:55:58 <Phantom_Hoover> Bicyclidine, maths exams in warwick are all 'a calculator is not needed or permitted in this exam'
19:56:22 <Bicyclidine> ah, so the antichrist
19:58:54 <Taneb> We got to use a calculator today but it was insufficiently fancy to do matrices nicely
20:02:17 <nooodl> exam on regexps
20:02:30 <Phantom_Hoover> i have one of them too
20:02:59 <Bicyclidine> Regular Show
20:03:10 <nooodl> is it just regex golf except for grades
20:03:30 <Phantom_Hoover> sadly no
20:03:31 <Taneb> Pretty much

23:52:44 <zzo38> Why do you think that? I think Forth is much better.

02:02:05 <Sgeo> Rust doesn't try to be innovative, does it? Where does it get its inherited mutability concept from? Doesn't seem Haskelly, unless you consider using State + lenses to be similar
02:02:28 <kmc> there are some innovative things
02:03:58 <kmc> mainly lifetime checking, and statically enforced move semantics
02:04:08 <kmc> it's the first "mainstream" language with substructural types, isn't it?
02:04:18 <kmc> where I have carefully defined "mainstream" to just barely include Rust
02:04:37 <kmc> Sgeo: http://doc.rust-lang.org/rust.html#influences
02:05:00 <kmc> 'Rust is not a particularly original language. It may however appear unusual by contemporary standards, as its design elements are drawn from a number of "historical" languages that have, with a few exceptions, fallen out of favour.'
02:05:25 <Sgeo> "The lexical identifier rule of Python."
02:05:32 <Sgeo> That seems... a bit like faint praise
02:05:36 <kmc> heh
02:05:41 <kmc> i don't even know what that means
02:05:54 <Sgeo> I'm guessing which characters are allowed in names
02:05:55 <kmc> but i don't disapprove of faintly praising python :)

03:06:21 -!- MoALTz has joined.
03:06:56 <zzo38> Bike: So that "sizeof" can be used?
03:07:30 <Bike> i thought you could use sizeof on values in this glorious future
03:07:32 <mcpherrin> Bike: can't write that as a function in C since you don't have generics otherwise
03:07:40 <mcpherrin> like, what is the type of X?
03:08:02 <Bike> i also thought memcpy and malloc just did void* shit
03:08:32 <mcpherrin> passing a void* to the function doesn't work since you then can't use sizeof
03:11:17 <oerjan> !c printf("%d\n"; sizeof (void));
03:11:21 <EgoBot> Does not compile.

15:45:39 <Bike> yeah, and the float radix is two, so...
15:46:24 <Jafet> "Linux libc4.[45] does not have a snprintf(), but provides a libbsd that contains an snprintf() equivalent to sprintf(), that is, one that ignores the size argument."
15:47:04 <Bike> cool
16:06:14 <int-e> that's the axiomatic solution to security. (axiom 1: buffers do not overflow)
16:06:49 <olsner> sprintf will never fail due to a small buffer, that's pretty great compared to snprintf which might just not print the whole string
16:08:46 <int-e> the buffer might extend into the sprintf stack frame, destroying data it's working with, thus causing it to fail. hth
16:09:10 <int-e> (I know, stacks generally grow downwards so that scenario is unlikely)

20:25:39 <int-e> (at $0.16 a kWh; the price for electricity varies a lot)
20:26:18 <olsner> at my electricity price I think it'd be more like $10/year
20:26:43 <int-e> > 60*24*365 / 10^3
20:26:44 <lambdabot>  525.6
20:27:16 <int-e> > 60*24*365 / 10^3 * 0.16
20:27:17 <lambdabot>  84.096
20:27:39 <int-e> > 10 / (60*24*365)
20:27:41 <lambdabot>  1.9025875190258754e-5
20:28:06 <int-e> $0.02/kWh ? that seems too low
20:30:26 <olsner> hmm, ~100 �re isn't a tenth of a SEK
20:32:56 <olsner> 525.6kWh/year times 0.6948 SEK/kWh is about $55/year

21:15:38 <kallisti> any idea where I can find stats on the number of IP-based telecom networks, the number of IP addresses they use, and which version of IP they support?
21:16:00 <mcpherrin> kallisti: taht depends on what exactly you mean by IP-based
21:16:08 <mcpherrin> Are you talking about IP-to-the-customer?
21:16:23 <mcpherrin> Or just doing backhaul over IP?
21:16:47 <kallisti> not sure what IP-to-the-customer means exactly, but I think I'm just talking about backhaul over IP.
21:17:15 <mcpherrin> Stuff like magicjack or a SIP phone provider, where the customer has some IP device that connects
21:17:42 -!- Bike has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds).
21:17:44 <kallisti> ah, well, that would be included, but I was just talking about any kind of telecom network that uses IP as its backbone. I'm assuming it's likely the majority of telecon networks at this point.
21:17:50 <mcpherrin> versus something more like a traditional phone carrier that does backhaul over IP, like Comcast
21:19:24 -!- Bike has joined.
21:19:29 <mcpherrin> everybody doing cell phones is doing IP.  Every non-traditional (eg, cable company) phone provider is doing IP
21:20:05 <mcpherrin> Some legacy provider networks may not, but that'll just be because they're on like 20 year hardware replacement cycles
21:22:14 <kmc> do they run SS7 over IP?
21:22:18 <kallisti> yeah I'm just trying to find stats on Ipv4 vs v6 in telecom networks
21:22:33 <kallisti> in particular how many IPv4 addresses are being used by telecom infrastructure
21:22:43 <mcpherrin> kmc: yes
21:23:18 <mcpherrin> kallisti: Last I had access, it's nearly all using 10/8

22:43:51 <Bicyclidine> am i being trolled
22:47:59 <Sgeo> The cryptoworld is being trolled, apparently

22:48:54 <Taneb> cryptobubble?
22:48:55 <oerjan> i am obliged to annoy y'all by linking http://xkcd.com/538/

22:49:09 <oerjan> good, good

22:49:21 <Taneb> Goodnight!
22:49:34 <Taneb> Also, getting an ice cream today was the best idea.
22:49:49 * oerjan also got some ice cream, with apple cake
22:53:09 <oerjan> Bicyclidine: also imagine Sgeo neither has backups nor wipes the unencrypted parts of the disk properly afterwards.
22:53:38 <Sgeo> :/ my backup situation is... uh... (not trolling about that)
22:53:44 <oerjan> i guess truecrypt installation ought to handle the latter, or something.
22:53:59 * oerjan has no idea, but it *ought* to.

22:58:41 <oerjan> it's a bit hard to read from that whether the miners are actually profiting or not
22:58:51 <int-e> (the way to make money off bitcoing mining though, is to either sell the next generation of miners or to be an electricity company)
22:59:31 <int-e> oerjan: right. I was reading this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=570396.0
23:07:54 -!- tromp_ has joined.
23:08:51 <int-e> I guess there are two ways to mine profitably. one, be an early adapter of the next jump in efficiency (not much room left there, apparently), or 2, mine on other people's hardware (think botnet).
23:09:26 <Bicyclidine> well botnets still cost money.
23:09:32 <Bicyclidine> i wonder when the break even point is
23:09:39 <Bicyclidine> or the uh, opposite.
23:09:42 <Bicyclidine> fix even? break bad??
23:11:45 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined.
23:12:04 <olsner> if I understand your meaning of "opposite" right, the opposite is also break even?
23:12:59 <int-e> "running on other people's hardware" also includes javascript bitcoin miners (a horrible waste of resources, but it's born by the website visitors)
23:13:12 <int-e> it's -> the cost is
23:14:04 <Bicyclidine> olsner: but time reversed, yes
23:14:15 <Bicyclidine> fuck entropy, though, so it's basically the same

23:32:01 <oerjan> the previous webmaster overcomplicated it so much that he gave up on actually implementing it.

23:33:02 <aretecode> In your router, lower case the argument

09:06:57 <slereah> I launched a perceptron with 3300 inputs
09:07:13 <slereah> I may as well go home because it's not gonna be over until next week
09:46:09 <impomatic> myname: yes, tournaments for a few other games too, notably Robocode :-)
09:46:28 <impomatic> There've been offline CW tournaments in France and Austria so far this year.
09:46:40 <myname> impomatic: i'd love robocode if it'd be less java
09:47:28 <impomatic> I think you can play robocode with Scala. (unless I just imagined it)
09:47:46 <myname> that'd be interesting
09:48:01 <impomatic> There are similar games anyway, CROBOTS, TclRobots, Scalatron, etc
09:48:19 -!- impomatic has left.
09:48:20 <myname> is there some programming game with curses ui?
09:59:59 <Taneb> When I was little I had a computer game that taught basic maths (stuff like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division for easy numbers)
10:00:26 <Taneb> The story of the game was that the local Mathemagician had been kidnapped and you had to explore the scary forest to save him
10:00:41 <Taneb> I... used to speedrun that game when I was 6

10:13:54 <b_jonas> Taneb: is it a PC game? or what other game system platform?
10:14:04 <Taneb> PC
10:14:11 <Taneb> iirc it was point-and-click
10:14:24 <Taneb> I probably have the CD at home
10:18:14 <Taneb> On another note...
10:18:41 <Taneb> You know how I have the Haskell lib "groups"?
10:19:52 <Taneb> I am tempted to add a RULES pragma saying "mappend (invert a) (invert b) => invert (mappend b a)"
10:21:10 <Taneb> On the basis that invert can be "division", and division is expensive
10:35:32 <myname> we have this course for maths students in their 4th semester
10:35:54 <myname> and there is that one assignment
10:36:03 <myname> "draw a platypus"
10:36:37 -!- boily has joined.
10:47:02 <b_jonas> Taneb: but that sort of depends on what type a and b are; sometimes (mappend (invert a) (invert b)) is actually cheaper, sometimes more expensive
10:47:19 <Taneb> That's why I've hesitated
10:48:17 <b_jonas> maybe add two semantic synonyms to invert, one that prefers to remain separate, and one that prefers to merge;
10:49:04 <b_jonas> or, um, perhaps define this RULES for only some types
10:51:32 <Taneb> Anyway, I'm off to get some lunch and then do an exam

18:58:19 <olsner> nice
18:58:36 <olsner> so is it saturday morning there?
18:58:55 <kmc> friday morning (well, one minute before noon)
18:59:07 <kmc> most places are ahead of the US west coast
18:59:55 <olsner> I can never figure out which direction "ahead of" is when it comes to time zones
19:00:03 <kmc> I meant a later time than
19:00:30 <kmc> since we are pretty close to the date line
19:00:39 <olsner> it's "now" everywhere, people just put different numbers on it
19:00:43 <kmc> whoa
19:02:42 <kmc> we're UTC-8, -7 in the summer
19:02:57 <kmc> but not many people live in UTC-9 thru UTC-12
19:03:01 <quintopia> olsner: but relativity says it's impossible to determine what "now" exactly means...!!!
19:03:23 <kmc> just alaska and hawai'i and some other islands
19:03:52 <kmc> and afaik nobody has done any silly negative offsets less than 12
19:03:58 <kmc> like UTC+13 and UTC+14
19:04:36 <olsner> I might be getting confused because "ahead of" and "before" are the same word in swedish (and e.g. friday morning is before friday evening)
19:04:54 <olsner> quintopia: like, approximately
19:06:07 <kmc> olsner: wut
19:06:22 <kmc> oh, I guess that makes some sense
19:08:51 <kmc> this is like how stacks that grow "up" grow towards smaller addresses B|
19:09:32 <olsner> what, really? that's growing down to me
19:09:54 <olsner> but of course you always add things to the top of the stack even when the top is at the bottom

20:02:35 <kmc> not really
20:04:33 <kmc> it's vehemently blurry
20:05:17 <olsner> what about life are you making yourself confused about?
20:07:22 * kmc handwaves
20:09:11 <mcpherrin> kmc: pretty sure nobody manages and we're all just terrified
20:14:22 <Bicyclidine> Given a lambda term, can we determine that repeated normal reduction of that term will result in that term?
20:14:38 -!- Slereah_ has joined.
20:14:44 <kmc> mcpherrin: I am leaning towards that explanation, yeah
20:14:53 <Bicyclidine> Leaving the halting problem to terms that grow unboundedly.
20:15:36 <kmc> Bicyclidine: I think a term might grow arbitrarily large before reducing back to the original term
20:15:48 <kmc> mcpherrin: still I am an outlier in more than a few senses :P
20:15:55 <tromp> you cannot decide whether a term reduces to itself

20:17:48 <Bicyclidine> somebody once told me that in high dimensional space it's pretty hard to know what the hell is happening
20:18:58 <tromp> because you can reduce the halting problem to that
20:19:08 <kmc> in high dimensional space nobody can hear you scream
20:19:17 <Bicyclidine> How, though?
20:19:39 <Bicyclidine> I mean there are plenty of terms w/o normal forms that don't reduce to themselves, or to anything that reduces to itself.

20:24:18 <Bicyclidine> If this was straightforward to me, would I be asking you?
20:25:48 <tromp> just let the lambda term simulate M

22:36:24 <Taneb> Odd question, but anyone know which (if any) image formats respond interestingly to random bit-flipping?
22:36:40 <ion> All of them? :-P
22:36:46 <mcpherrin> Taneb: what do you mean by "interestingly"

22:40:07 <Taneb> On that note, played Arkham Horror today. It did not go well.
22:40:10 <madbr> there's also the LZ* kind of encodings like gif or png which might have some intersting behavior
22:40:27 <mcpherrin> yeah gif is kinda fun, especially if the flips occur early
22:41:09 <madbr> jpg might do some interesting stuff too thanks to its crazy zig zag pattern
22:41:30 <mcpherrin> I think the best thing to do here is to test

01:36:36 <kmc> the tokenizer is a bit more structured; you could maybe translate it, although it would be better for WHATWG to maintain a machine-readable spec that is translated to HTML

02:34:02 <Sgeo> I wish ads were better targetted. Don't show me ads for Christian dating sites, and don't show me ads for a game that I'm already addicted to (although ads for fansites still make sense)
02:34:15 <kmc> heh
02:34:24 <kmc> are you willing to accept more invasive personal tracking to make that happen
02:34:30 <maurer> kmc: they shouldn't need it right?
02:34:37 <maurer> kmc: Like, if they are going to show me an eve ad
02:34:49 <maurer> they can say "He logged on to eve form that IP 30 minutes ago"
02:34:53 <maurer> "instead show him an ad for PLEX"
02:34:59 <kmc> heh

02:46:44 <zzo38> How can you link a program compile with GNU C compiler with a program compile with Visual Basic 6?
02:49:27 <elliott> I'm worried about whatever plan you have, zzo38.
02:50:02 <mcpherrin> VB6 isn't quite gone away enough to make it cool and retro
02:50:16 <mcpherrin> Commodore BASIC is.
02:50:58 <pikhq> Nah, go for IBM COBOL.
02:52:40 <zzo38> None of that is the point...
03:06:12 <kmc> pointless cobol
03:13:27 <pikhq> Have you considered telling some of my company's clients?
03:13:42 <Bike> http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Subjective_Effects_of_Nitrous_Oxide read plz
03:13:54 <pikhq> I'd like to not finish a cobol struct parser kthx
03:14:48 <kmc> oh that guy
03:17:13 <oerjan> pikhq: ooh you actually do cobol-related programming?
03:18:08 <pikhq> Presently? Yes, actually.
03:18:38 <kmc> zzo38: iirc VB 6 can load .dlls
03:18:59 <pikhq> Turns out that some places will pay ludicrous amounts of money for a product that lets you take in random mainframe data and spit out something actually sane.
03:20:14 <zzo38> kmc: Yes I know, but I want it to be static linking
03:20:26 <kmc> then i don't know
03:20:28 <Sprocklem> zzo38: Why?
03:21:25 <pikhq> It's not exactly *hard*, just irritating, because it's practically a computer archaeology project.
03:21:57 <zzo38> I want to make a Windows GUI program which can be static linked with cross-platform C programs
03:22:57 <kmc> the moves-per-second indicator I drunk-coded for 2048 shows NaN until you use the "restart game" feature at least once
03:23:00 <kmc> ah, javascript
03:23:14 <Sprocklem> zzo38: There's got to be better ways of doing that
03:24:23 <pikhq> This incidentally is *not* the fun part of my job. :P
03:24:43 <zzo38> Sprocklem: Maybe, but, what is it going to be?
03:25:49 <Sprocklem> zzo38: I don't know
03:27:44 <madbr> kmc : due to 0/0?
03:28:33 <madbr> or js fills missing numerical variables with nan? :O
03:29:00 <kmc> I think because undefined * 0 = NaN
03:29:02 <kmc> but who knows
03:29:35 <mcpherrin> lul JS
03:29:45 <mcpherrin> I would like the web but JS :(
03:29:57 <mcpherrin> should switch to NaCl
03:30:28 <madbr> how does js compare to, like, python, lua and perl?
03:30:40 <madbr> which are the other languages in that "category"
03:31:01 <mcpherrin> I suppose it depends how you're trying to classify...
03:31:19 <mcpherrin> it's kinda like python, but with a more C-like syntax, but without python's big std lib
03:31:24 <madbr> my classification depends on the major preformance tradeoffs
03:31:43 <mcpherrin> JS has probably one of the fastests JITs around
03:31:52 <madbr> no garbage collection = C, C++, asm, some others like fortran
03:32:09 <madbr> garbage collection but no dynamic typing = java, C#
03:32:21 <mcpherrin> JS is garbage collected, interpteted/JITted, dynamically typed (but secretly not for perf)
03:32:35 <madbr> dynamic typing = JS, lua, perl, python...
03:32:54 <kmc> madbr: itym C, C++, asm, Rust!
03:33:05 <madbr> right
03:33:11 <Sprocklem> madbr: JS is also very weakly typed
03:33:12 <mcpherrin> JS uses closures pretty heavily, including as "classes"
03:33:43 <mcpherrin> JS has a lot of weird type system interactions too, especially with things like implicit conversion to strings and numbers
03:33:54 <Sprocklem> madbr: It's got prototype base object orientation
03:34:21 <madbr> object orientation doesn't really have an impact on performance
03:34:24 <kmc> my record time so far is 220 seconds, which I guess is pretty good, although I'm playing a variant of 2048 which is easier than the official one
03:34:43 <zzo38> I think SQLite also uses a kind of dynamic typing? (This is different from some other SQL implementations which are statically typed)
03:34:57 <Sprocklem> madbr: No
03:35:19 <kmc> mcpherrin: the biggest difference between JS / asm.js and NaCl is not language but platform
03:35:21 <madbr> inversely dynamic typing does... you can go through all sorts of JIT compilation hoops to try to remove the impact but that's hard
03:35:25 <kmc> asm.js uses standard web APIs
03:35:34 <kmc> NaCl uses things that are chrome-only for all practical purposes
03:35:39 <kmc> you can guess which one mozilla favors...
03:35:40 <mcpherrin> kmc: NaCl with standards APIs would be <3
03:35:43 <kmc> yeah
03:35:52 <kmc> but you can guess which one Google favors, too
03:36:01 <mcpherrin> kmc: I got drunk with Eich the day Google announced Dart; that was funny :p
03:36:04 <kmc> haha
03:36:04 <madbr> does anything important use nacl yet?
03:36:18 <mcpherrin> madbr: lots of googly stuff does
03:36:55 <kmc> there is a list of Google web properties allowed to use NaCl hardcoded into chrome
03:36:59 <kmc> \rainbow{vertical integration}
03:37:11 <madbr> I see
03:38:23 <mcpherrin> kmc: rust needs emscripten support :p
03:38:37 <kmc> not my problem
03:38:50 <mcpherrin> kmc: but running servo inside firefox :-o
03:38:57 <mcpherrin> :3
03:39:22 <kmc> :3 indeed
03:39:45 <kmc> we could use WebGL for compositing, and native <canvas> for rendering
03:39:58 <madbr> only thing I've implemented on nacl was some sound support stuff
03:40:05 <kmc> I was actually wondering about implementations of CSS / web layout in JS the other day
03:40:09 -!- conehead has joined.
03:40:13 <kmc> because of some discussion of whether JIT would help you
03:40:17 <madbr> incidentally that's an area where html5 is broken but the nacl stuff isn't
03:40:26 <madbr> (sound)
03:40:27 <kmc> Blink already has a JIT for CSS selector matching, but I mean for layout
03:40:42 <kmc> compile the flow tree to native code so you can redo layout extra fast when parts of it change
03:40:48 <kmc> i don't know if it makes any sense, but it sounds pretty cool!
03:41:24 <mcpherrin> kmc: haha, JIT all the webs!
03:41:45 <kmc> yes
03:41:58 <kmc> pcwalton also wants to store our CSS selectors as *only* machine code and decompile them to implement CSSOM
03:42:01 <kmc> I think I mentioned that here
03:43:11 <madbr> like, sound is the kind of stuff that only really work well in compiled languages tbh
03:43:37 <kmc> but JS running in a modern JS engine is compiled
03:43:53 <kmc> and you have unboxed arrays even
03:44:00 <kmc> I agree it's not realtime, though
03:44:03 <kmc> but neither are a lot of "compiled languages"
03:44:08 <madbr> it's more of a problem of
03:44:19 <kmc> really every implementation out there is somewhere on a spectrum between interpreted and compiled
03:44:27 <madbr> if the garbage collector runs, is that going to take more than 10ms?
03:44:33 <kmc> right
03:44:40 <Bike> reminds me, firefox has https://twitter.com/alex_gibson/status/467280491260166146/photo/1 now apparently
03:44:44 <madbr> also sound is like 100% always threaded
03:44:45 <kmc> but this is also a problem in Haskell and OCaml, which are typically native compiled
03:44:57 <kmc> ahead-of-time even
03:45:06 <newsham> way-ahead-of-time compilation
03:45:19 <kmc> it's weird that there aren't more mainstream high level languages which are generally AOT native-compiled
03:45:49 <mcpherrin> kmc: yeah I was talking with pcwalton about that, I think decompiling sounds silly though

03:46:28 <madbr> even java is kinda dubious for sound applications
03:48:36 <madbr> the usual equation is "no garbage collector" => "only languages with explicit deallocation" => "C++ only"
03:48:56 <newsham> linear types?
03:49:17 <madbr> what does that mean?
03:49:38 <newsham> its a type system that tracks resources.  each resource must be consumed only once, etc..
03:49:39 <Bike> some nerd shit
03:49:51 <kmc> that's Rust's approach yeah
03:49:53 <mcpherrin> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substructural_type_system
03:50:20 <mcpherrin> rust is affine or linear
03:50:20 <kmc> deallocation is sort of explicit in that it's deterministic, but it's done in a statically memory safe way
03:50:30 <kmc> it's like C++11 move semantics except actually fully checked at compile time
03:50:58 <kmc> if you have  let x = ...;  f(x)   and x is not something implicitly copyable like a primitive numeric type, it will forbid you from using x after that function call
03:51:05 <kmc> you've transferred ownership of it
03:51:34 <madbr> never tried that kinda stuff
03:51:47 <kmc> same for sending things between threads
03:52:16 <kmc> you can have datastructures shared between threads, but you have to write them in the unsafe dialect of the language, and then assert that they're safe to share
03:52:53 <madbr> mhm
03:53:05 <kmc> madbr: the other major unique thing in Rust is references / "borrowed pointers" with lifetime checking
03:53:22 <kmc> so you can write f(&x) and not transfer ownership into f, but if f tries to stash that pointer away somewhere the compiler will complain
03:53:47 <madbr> I see
03:53:56 <newsham> "you can peek at my x, but ITS MINE!@#"
03:54:05 <kmc> basically
03:54:19 <kmc> you can have any number of immutable borrowings of a value, or exactly one mutable borring
03:54:22 <kmc> that's statically checked too
03:54:27 <kmc> prevents iterator invalidation and related issues
03:54:34 <madbr> if that kindof stuff lets the compiler do real anti aliasing, then eventually it might become faster than C++ and then rust will see much more adoption
03:54:49 <kmc> yes
03:54:56 <kmc> that's the hope
03:55:09 <madbr> it's kindof dependent on cpu architectures tho
03:55:24 <kmc> although I think approximately as fast as C++, with no segfaults or use-after-free vulnerabilities is also a pretty compelling value proposition
03:56:12 <kmc> and if it's not as fast, you can do whatever you'd do in C or C++ within the unsafe dialect
03:56:16 <kmc> or link to actual C
03:56:30 <mcpherrin> yeah zero overhead to call C is pretty compelling
03:57:08 <mcpherrin> more ffi support for c++ would be nice though
03:57:10 <Bike> you can tell i'm not cut out for mathematics because i'm still staring at something oerjan said five hours ago
03:57:10 <kmc> yeah
03:57:14 <kmc> C++ is a pit of snakes though
03:57:33 <kmc> I mean first class C++ support would include things like using C++ RAII smart pointers from Rust
03:57:36 <kmc> that's Hard
03:57:38 <kmc> but would be really cool
03:57:41 <pikhq> C FFI is pretty reasonable. I mean, C ain't the nicest around, but it's at least fairly limited.
03:57:42 <madbr> it's got the original sin (everything is pointers)
03:57:56 <pikhq> C++ is A Lot Of Stuff.
03:57:57 <mcpherrin> Teh c++ people are talking about standardizing on an aBI
03:57:58 <kmc> madbr: hm? C++ is one of the few languages where objects *aren't* all pointers
03:57:59 <mcpherrin> which is at least a start
03:58:03 <kmc> mcpherrin: lol
03:58:21 <madbr> kmc: true but arrays sortof are
03:58:26 <madbr> except std::vector
03:58:27 <newsham> [17:54] < Bike> you can tell i'm not cut out for mathematics because i'm still staring at something oerjan said five hours ago
03:58:30 <madbr> same for strings
03:58:33 <kmc> mm
03:58:36 <madbr> that's horrendous
03:58:39 <kmc> yeah
03:58:40 <newsham> isnt the ability to stare at somethign for 5hrs pretty much the main requirement?
03:58:51 <Bike> a necessary but not sufficient condition
03:58:54 <Bike> c.f. video games
03:59:03 <kmc> in Rust there are slices, which are a pointer + length into a string or array owned by someone else
03:59:13 <madbr> the default object for more than one of anything is just an offset with no real size
03:59:13 <kmc> also fixed-size arrays, which are passed by value (unless you take a reference type of them, of course)
03:59:25 <kmc> and heap-allocated growable Vec<T>
03:59:25 <Bike> can you do fortran-style submatrices
03:59:26 <newsham> "you can tell i'm not cut out for mathematics because i stared at something oerjan said 5hrs ago and gave up after 30seconds" is prob a more realistic statement
03:59:42 <Sgeo> Hmm... so Elixir has consistent distinction between 'size' and 'length'... but it would still take time getting used to Elixir to keep it in mind
03:59:53 <Sgeo> (size for O(1) length for needing computation)
04:00:12 <Sgeo> s/needing computation/slower than O(1)/
04:00:27 <Bike> O(2)
04:00:29 <Sgeo> "the function should be named size if the operation is in constant time (i.e. the value is pre-calculated) or length if the operation requires explicit counting."
04:00:36 <Sgeo> O(2)=O(1)
04:00:37 <kmc> Bike: multidimensionally? i haven't seen that, but it should be implementable
04:00:43 <elliott> Sgeo: that i.e. is silly
04:00:52 <mcpherrin> O(0)
04:00:55 <Bike> that that is is silly

04:04:07 <zzo38> madbr: Why not really?
04:04:16 <Bike> someone tell me why volterra series were explained to me as "taylor series, but with time dependence" instead of "taylor series, but on functionals"
04:04:26 <Sgeo> Did I say something weird on March 24th?
04:04:28 <Bike> shut the fuck up about 'memory' assholes
04:06:11 <madbr> zzo38 : I'm not well versed in how csound integrates with other stuff so I'm not sure how to answer
04:06:18 <madbr> but it sounds like a bad plan
04:06:19 <zzo38> O, OK
04:07:13 <zzo38> Well, I find Csound is good for synthesizing audio and writing music, at least. It does work with Open Sound Control, MIDI, Wii remotes, and extension libraries can be written in C.
04:07:19 <madbr> something like "is it still well behaved once you have to compile it into a dll for use in a multithread environment along with a gui"
04:07:37 <madbr> "in a way that's not going to take more code/effort than just doing everything in C++ as usual"
04:07:56 <zzo38> madbr: There are GUI programs for Csound, although I have not used them so I don't know. Some of these GUI programs are even written in Java
04:08:20 <Bike> puredata!!
04:09:02 <zzo38> I do not particularly like the standard score format in Csound for the purpose of writing music, so I wrote a MML compiler targeting Csound, to make it easier to write music.
04:09:10 <madbr> osc I haven't been impressed with yet
04:09:22 <madbr> it's got a nice type specification etc system
04:09:45 <madbr> but nobody has put on his pants and specified a real standard for note and controller data
04:09:55 <madbr> which is like 75% of the feature set of MIDI
04:10:04 <oerjan> <Bike> you can tell i'm not cut out for mathematics because i'm still staring at something oerjan said five hours ago <-- hm?
04:10:59 <madbr> "you can listen for CC1 because you know the user's m-audio midi controller has a mod wheel and that unless the user has reprogrammed it for whatever reason, it sends CC1"
04:11:12 -!- MoALTz has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds).
04:13:18 <madbr> my criticism of those systems is that they're typically not correctly set up for writing music
04:14:02 <zzo38> I haven't used those kind of MIDI devices for writing music, so I don't know
04:14:34 <madbr> writing music requires a good piano roll editor
04:14:44 <madbr> DAWs are basically the only programs that have that
04:14:51 <zzo38> Although I don't prefer to write music "live" anyways (although I know people who do)
04:14:59 <madbr> DAWs can load up VST plugin synthesizer plugins
04:15:10 <madbr> result: everybody uses DAW with VST plugins
04:15:14 <zzo38> I don't see why you need a piano roll editor though. It can be one way, or you can use MML; I prefer to use MML.
04:15:23 <zzo38> I also don't like VST; I prefer to use Csound.
04:15:27 <madbr> I've never gotten into MML
04:15:40 <zzo38> So I use MML for the score and Csound for the instruments.
04:16:02 <zzo38> Since I have found this works better for me than using piano roll editors/VST
04:16:16 <madbr> people that write lots of music use piano roll like >99% of the time
04:16:51 <newsham> not a 64track tape?
04:17:14 <madbr> newsham : that involves live musicians
04:17:18 <oerjan> <Sgeo> Did I say something weird on March 24th? <-- no.  *sigh* i'm being too subtle again...  you're just worrying about the health of food all the time so i was joking about the fact i ate a pizza that was > 2 months overdue hth
04:17:20 <madbr> so I guess making them parts
04:17:25 <zzo38> Yes you can use piano roll if you prefer; different people use different ways. Some people like to write on music notation paper.
04:17:33 <madbr> which I guess is notation, rather than piano roll
04:17:40 <Bike> i just poke actual holes in an actual piano roll
04:18:25 <madbr> also, making nice music notation is hard
04:18:33 <zzo38> I do know someone who only writes music live, never writing it down.
04:19:21 <Bike> it'll never catch on.
04:19:35 <zzo38> He then connects the audio output port of a digital piano to a computer to record it onto a CD.
04:19:43 <newsham> next thing you'll have people having impromptu discussions without rehersing
04:20:06 <newsham> anarchy
04:20:12 <madbr> zzo38 : afaik that's how you're supposed to use piano rolls anyways
04:20:23 <madbr> record live, use piano roll to fix mistakes
04:20:48 <zzo38> However I myself don't like writing music live, DAW, piano roll, VST, tracker music, and that stuff.
04:21:27 <zzo38> madbr: Actually I think piano roll notation is the kind of thing he wanted to use for this purpose, although he didn't. It would be possible, since this digital piano does have a MIDI output port too.
04:21:29 <kmc> record drunk, piano roll sober

04:23:09 <Bike> now listening to Die Fantastischen Vier -- Krieger (Aphex Twin Baldhu Mix) 
04:24:39 <kmc> newsham: DMT's a hell of a drug
04:24:46 <zzo38> I don't like VST; it requires a GUI, isn't an open standard, and seems for writing live music (which isn't what I do). Perhaps VST is OK for live music writers who don't care if it is usable in anything other than Windows, I suppose.
04:24:53 <oerjan> Bike: ok let me detail it a bit: you write an interpreter for TM's in lambda calculus which works fairly normally, except that (1) it keeps a count of steps such that it never repeats as long as the TM is running (2) if the TM _halts_, instead of halting itself it just restarts from the beginning, resetting the count.  then whether that LC interpreter loops <=> whether the TM halts.
04:24:53 <kmc> DMT's a hell of a drukq?
04:25:04 <oerjan> *TMs
04:25:12 <Bike> oh.
04:25:13 <Bike> thank you.
04:25:38 <zzo38> To do effects and instrument sound and so on writing music, I found Csound works much better than anything else I have used.
04:25:48 <newsham> hah, i'm listening to drukqs right now
04:25:51 <Bike> well, that's a bit disappointing, but not unexpected
04:25:58 <zzo38> And if you do like to use Csound and VST, you can do it, in both directions!
04:26:20 <Bike> for my next trick, i shall disprove hilbert's 16th
04:26:32 <Bike> or rather, say something about it here and wait for oerjan to prove it for me

04:46:25 <zzo38> Do you know how to use SQL for editing music which is already compiled (into a .MOD, .S3M, .MID, etc)?
04:48:18 <zzo38> For working with audio files, SoX works OK (although I think something combining ImageMagick with SoX, allowing the same effects using with sounds and pictures, would be much better), although for working with editing and conversion of music compiled into MOD/S3M/IT/XM/MID files, that a SQL-based system would work best.

04:49:43 -!- augur has joined.
04:50:05 <madbr> What does sox do that you wouldn't normally do in audacity/soundforge/etc?
04:51:30 <zzo38> Command-line functioning
04:51:59 <pikhq> sox is quite nice for scripting.
04:52:36 <pikhq> For instance, it was pretty nice when converting my inexplicable 88.2 kHz 24-bit copy of Distant Worlds 2 here.
04:52:40 <zzo38> I have used Audacity and those things, but I find SoX much better to work with, at least.
04:52:42 <pikhq> (WHY WOULD YOU DISTRIBUTE THAT)
04:53:02 <zzo38> Even if it isn't for scripting.
04:53:21 <madbr> pikhq : that takes about 10 seconds to do in audacity
04:53:37 <pikhq> And it took about that long in sox.
04:53:44 <Bike> valuable seconds i could have spent jamming!
04:53:52 <pikhq> sox is the imagemagick of audio.
04:53:58 <pikhq> This is both its strength and its weakness.
04:55:24 <zzo38> I also find ImageMagick good for pictures, though. However, sometimes I find I want to use some of ImageMagick effects on audio too, and SoX doesn't do that, so I will use SoX to convert to raw, ImageMagick then loads and saves it as a single-row pictures and then use SoX to convert back to other format. It wouldn't be quite best way, but it can work.
04:56:03 <zzo38> Program with both kind of feature, I think is going to work better.
04:57:51 <zzo38> I have written a program for using ImageMagick and METAFONT together, so that it can be used to make up new drawings in a reasonable way, too.
04:58:18 <fowl> are there any programming languages based on mirc script
04:58:55 <zzo38> fowl: I don't know of any other than mirc script itself (and I don't know how mirc script works either)
04:59:39 <fowl> it would make a good base for an esolang
04:59:50 <zzo38> You can try to make such a thing if you like to do so
05:00:02 <fowl> not me, i'm just a poor farm girl

05:04:34 -!- augur has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds).
05:06:21 <zzo38> However I did make esolang based on the classical sequent calculus, where the two negation rules correspond to creating and consuming continuations.
05:06:42 <zzo38> It has first class continuations, but doesn't have any first class functions.
05:11:34 <zzo38> Maybe someone can write esolang based on astronomy and/or astrology, too.
05:13:53 <zzo38> Can you make a esolang where instruction sets are frequency-modulated?

05:29:18 <zzo38> In the Dungeons&Dragons I played today, I was paying a shopkeeper to fix a bag, but then a dwarf came in, and said that the shopkeeper was about to accidentally poke his finger, which he did, and then said "duck!" and stole one of the tools on the wall and left. The shopkeeper then died (he was killed by a crossbow bolt), so I used his tools to fix the bag myself and took back the coins I gave to him.

05:40:42 * mcpherrin has never played D&D but should
05:40:46 <zzo38> In order to trap the crossbowmen, which are probably all over the place.
05:41:16 <Bike> did you fix the bag while being shot at
05:42:02 <zzo38> Bike: No, I was hiding underneath the counter. The counter was on the separation between the inside and outside of the shop; normally the customer stand on the outside and the shopkeeper stands inside.
05:43:50 <zzo38> The walls are so that neither the shopkeeper doesn't get killed; the illusions will duck and so on just the same.
05:44:27 <kmc> mcpherrin: I tried to play D&D exactly once and then there was a tornado (in real life, not in the game)
05:44:49 <mcpherrin> kmc: it's a sign.
05:44:51 <zzo38> The tool that the dwarf stole was not needed to fix this bag, so that was not a problem.
05:46:02 <kmc> exactly
05:46:24 <kmc> how many crossbowmen do you think there are
05:46:32 <zzo38> It is a sign with "DO NOT READ THIS SIGN" written on it, almost.
05:47:50 <zzo38> kmc: I don't know, but probably there are many all over the place, they were near the docks, on both ends of the river, and in between, and even on the way to this river from a larger boat, and in this North River Village, so probably there would be some in South River Village too.

05:52:51 <zzo38> We do not use a game board or anything like that; just paper, pencil, books, dice, and thinking.
05:53:32 <Bike> is there a standard license that's "open source, but if you use this and publish something about it, cite so and so"?
05:53:50 <Bike> «#include <math.h>      /* Added for MS Visual C++ compatability, by Ian Bruce, 1999 */» get hype
05:54:25 <zzo38> Bike: I think there may be something like that, but I don't know.
05:54:41 <Bike> wowwwww i didn't even know you could declare functions within a function
05:54:44 <zzo38> But I thought you meant citing it in a bibliography or something like that.
05:54:45 <Bike> i'm learning so much!!
05:54:52 <Bike> that's what i meant.
05:55:11 <zzo38> O, OK
05:55:21 <zzo38> Maybe there is something like that.
05:55:30 <zzo38> Why did you want to know of it?
05:56:01 <zzo38> I do not know the proper way to cite non-literate computer programs in a bibliography, though.
05:56:39 <Bike> zzo38: because this code says "if you use this, please cite x paper" in a comment.
05:56:43 <Bike> they want the paper cited, not the code.
05:57:04 <Bike> * COMPLEX.HPP header file * use for complex arithmetic in C
05:57:10 <zzo38> O, so the code is separate from the paper.
05:57:36 <Bike> yeah. code in a paper doesn't happen much outside CS.
05:58:02 <zzo38> In that case you could easily cite the paper, but where and how?
05:58:29 <zzo38> In a literate program you can cite it in the bibliography, but in other case I don't know how?
05:59:12 <Bike> If you are yourself writing a paper.
05:59:32 <zzo38> Yes, if you are yourself writing a paper, it works.
05:59:41 <zzo38> But what do they mean by "if you use this" in this case?
05:59:57 <zzo38> Using it doesn't seems to necessarily imply that you are writing a paper?
06:00:51 <Bike> well, w hat it actually says is "Please cite these papers if you publish any research results obtained with this code or any modified versions of this code."
06:01:24 <zzo38> O, that's what it says. That works then.
06:01:41 <zzo38> But is that even a license?
06:02:35 <Bike> No. It's an informal request. Which is why I was curious as to whether there was a formal license. In service of this curiosity, I asked several minutes ago whether there was such a license, and then this conversation happened, culminating for the moment in this message you are reading.
06:03:55 <zzo38> I do not know of such a thing, although such an informal request will work. If it is included in a comment in the source file, probably people who do modify it, will keep it there (especially since it says "or any modified versions of this code").
06:07:26 <Bike> struct __COMPLEX { double x,y; }; typedef struct __COMPLEX COMPLEX;
06:07:28 <Bike> legal y/n
06:08:07 <Bike> n probably but i'm bitter
06:08:40 <elliott> Bike: no because __COMPLEX isn't a name you're allowed to use
06:08:47 <Bike> right
06:09:14 <Bike> maybe i should just start cold emailing people to tell them they're out of conformity and should feel bad
06:09:24 <elliott> Bike: unless you are the implementation
06:10:11 <elliott> Bike: probably the most silly common identifier-related nonconformance is naming a type *_t under posix
06:10:28 <Bike> yes i'm just confused by this one though
06:10:49 <Bike> it's just defining a simple complex type (which is redundant in C99 but whatever), and the name __COMPLEX isn't actually used outside of the typedef
06:10:53 <kmc> doesn't C99 have efb
06:11:10 <elliott> oh this is someone else's code
06:11:24 <Bike> do you think so little of me
06:11:25 -!- drdanmaku has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity).
06:11:29 <elliott> Bike: presumably it's to stop people saying struct __COMPLEX because it's an implementation detail or whatever
06:11:42 <zzo38> You can try to write   typedef struct { double x,y; } COMPLEX;   does it work OK?
06:12:01 <elliott> some people always do the typedef separately. one reason to do that is uniformity: if you have a cycle in struct inclusions, then you cannot just use "typedef struct { ... } name;".
06:12:10 <elliott> so sometimes you must name structs.
06:12:10 <zzo38> (It might not work if you need forward references, though)
06:12:19 <elliott> right, forward refs in general.
06:12:45 <Bike> maybe i'll just replace the code with _Complex and see how it goes
06:13:52 <elliott> Bike: #include <complex.h> and you can say "double complex" etc.
06:14:16 <Bike> right, _Complex is the C99 type isn't it
06:14:25 <Bike> oh, wait, i see.
06:14:27 <elliott> Bike: C99 can't define complex outright because it'd clash with existing stuff
06:14:27 <Bike> ok whatever.
06:14:31 <elliott> so they define _Complex and #define it in the header
06:14:39 <elliott> same situation with stdbool
06:15:04 <Bike> also, this entire program is written in C, but you're supposed to use it as a matlab program. i don't get this field

06:33:49 <fizzie> In fact, my half-finished (at most) static AOT Funge-98 compiler was enough to run fungot, sans support for ^reload, IIRC.

17:38:11 <Taneb> I think I'm writing an esoteric data structure help
17:38:20 <Taneb> It's sort of a heap and a binary search tree simultaneously
17:38:43 <Bicyclidine> a... binary heap, or...
17:38:58 <Taneb> No, it's heap sorted on one key and tree sorted on another key
17:40:08 <olsner> sounds sort of useful
17:40:08 <boily> so it's a keyed treap?
17:40:29 <Taneb> Maybe?
17:41:01 <Taneb> olsner, when the two keys correlate it degenerates into a linked list! :)

19:10:10 <kmc> i have a small quadcopter now!
19:10:28 <Bicyclidine> for burrito delivery, i hope
19:10:49 <zzo38> It would be expected that evolving would be very slow (but not completely impossible) compared to doing it directly.
19:16:36 <impomatic__> zzo38: for small coresizes (like 80, 800) it's possible to evolve something competitive overnight.
19:17:28 <zzo38> Yes if it is small I would think it can work faster
19:17:37 <zzo38> Same thing with most algorithms really

19:37:12 <kmc> now they're off to the north bay to fly said quadcopter and take photos for a wedding invite
19:37:39 <fizzie> Much larger compared to what? 
19:39:28 <fizzie> I guess larger than said friend.
19:41:17 <kmc> haha
19:41:25 <kmc> larger compared to my little one that can't even carry a burrito
19:41:42 <kmc> the bigger quadcopter has already injured an intern

22:31:05 <int-e> that has roots -a-1 and 1, one of which is not computable.

22:32:18 <Bike> probably you don't have that for transcendents either...
22:32:45 * boily wonders if there's a greek prefix for something between mono- and poly-...
22:32:49 <int-e> there is a difficulty in the opposite direction, too. the roots of x^2 - a, with computable a, may not be computable *real* numbers (namely, if it's undecidable whether a < 0).
22:33:46 <int-e> but that difficulty disappears for complex numbers, as far as I can see. If you allow non-monic polynomials though, then  ax - 1 = 0  has the same problem.
22:34:23 <int-e> boily: bi tri ...
22:34:38 <Bike> at least they're still entire.
22:34:40 <int-e> or are those not greek? I'm weak.
22:36:32 <boily> sometimes, not the brightest questions drift through my mind.
22:37:23 <boily> int-e: bi- is latin, di- is greek.

22:41:27 <oerjan> @messages-food
22:41:27 <lambdabot> boily said 9h 24m 53s ago: here cruchon is a glass jar.
22:42:48 <int-e> oh wikipedia. "A real number is computable if and only if the set of natural numbers it represents (when written in binary and viewed as a characteristic function) is computable." not.
22:46:32 <Bike> is that not true? "it represents" is a bit rude but it still seems okay to me
22:46:37 <Bike> well the binary thing is also pointless
22:46:56 <Bike> oh, and you need an ordering, i guess...
22:47:19 <int-e> Bike: the trouble is that sometimes you cannot decide whether the next digits should be  01111....1 or 10000....0.
22:52:01 -!- quintopia has changed nick to Quintopia.
22:53:26 <int-e> For example given a Turing machine T, you can define a = 1 + (-1/2)^n if T halts in n steps, and a = 1 otherwise. That's a computable number but you'll have a hard time figuring out whether it's 1.000... or 0.111...
22:53:51 <int-e> (For some T.)
22:55:33 <oerjan> int-e: it's nevertheless true, as for those ambiguous real numbers _both_ representations are obviously computable.
22:56:03 <int-e> oerjan: if T halts then there is no ambiguity at all.
22:57:11 <oerjan> int-e: the thing is, being computable is a property of the real number, not of the TM used to define it.
22:58:01 <oerjan> so it doesn't _matter_ whether you cannot compute the digits from knowing only the TM
22:58:34 <oerjan> and the only numbers where you cannot compute the digits are numbers which are also represented by halting machines.
22:58:53 <elliott> int-e: um, but 0.111... = 1?
22:59:09 <Quintopia> hmm
22:59:13 <Quintopia> is that a boily i spy
22:59:43 <oerjan> elliott: the point is that you cannot prove in finite time that it's exactly equal to 1, so you don't know that you're not forced to choose 0 or 1 at some point
23:00:04 <elliott> okay
23:00:34 <oerjan> in a sense, int-e is correct if you are thinking in constructive logic, but not if you are assuming excluded middle for the existence of the digit representations
23:01:43 <oerjan> i suppose in constructive logic you end up with not being able to prove that the constructive real number _has_ a digit representation.
23:01:44 <nooodl> computability theory sounds like it's very easy to say wrong things about!
23:01:49 <nooodl> it's intriguing
23:01:58 <oerjan> nooodl: yeah
23:01:59 <Bike> i can assure you that it's very easy to say wrong things in general
23:02:07 <oerjan> Bike: what nonsense!
23:02:31 <Bike> see, there you go
23:02:43 <M28> guys guys

23:03:29 <Quintopia> lol
23:03:30 <int-e> oerjan: Subtle. Hmm. So the point is that you can give some advice to the program producing the binary representation.
23:04:06 <Quintopia> i really want to believe that story about nobel's wife cheating with a mathematician is true
23:04:11 <oerjan> M28: you mean your abel hth
23:04:32 <int-e> (and the only kind of advice you really need is that "this is a rational number of shape a/2^n, and here is n.")
23:04:34 <Quintopia> abel is no bel!
23:04:36 <int-e> oerjan: thanks.
23:05:09 <oerjan> Quintopia: you know why that isn't true, right
23:05:28 <oerjan> Quintopia: no, but the abel prize is a real prize
23:05:45 <oerjan> intended precisely to close the nobel gap
23:05:47 <Bike> the nobels are all fairly random. i mean, "physiology or medicine"?
23:06:09 <Quintopia> physicomedicology
23:07:06 <shachaf> my father says of any unsolvable problem "if you solve that, you'll get the nobel prize in mathematics"
23:07:28 <int-e> oerjan: it's weird because there is no computable function from computable reals of the first kind (producing approximations of precision 1/2^n) to the second kind (producing binary expansions)
23:07:41 <oerjan> shachaf: is that just a subtle way of using reductio ad absurdum to say you won't be able to solve it?
23:07:45 <Taneb> Wow, Hackers was such a 90's movie
23:07:56 <shachaf> oerjan: only moderately subtle hth
23:08:00 <boily> Quintopia: QUINTOPIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIAIAIAIAIAIAIAIAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAH!
23:08:19 <ion> Iä! Iä!
23:08:32 <oerjan> old cthulhu had a farm
23:09:15 <oerjan> int-e: yw
23:09:29 <int-e> (annoyingly I should know this stuff. oh well.)
23:09:44 <Bike> well rounding is uncomputable in general
23:09:47 <Bike> yolo
23:10:05 <shachaf> oerjan: whoa, whoa, whoa
23:10:25 <Quintopia> oerjan: i just looked it up. the reason it isn't true (in principle, where wife can be substituted by lover as needed) is that it simply happens not to be true of the girlfriends we know about...
23:10:44 * ion computes some well rounded numbers
23:10:45 <shachaf> oerjan: now that i've looked up the lyrics to Old MacDonald Had a Farm, i see the origin of certain lyrics from Chicago
23:10:47 <Quintopia> so...there is no reason?
23:11:14 <boily> Chicago and R'lyeh are related?
23:11:17 <oerjan> Quintopia: bah you're overcomplicated it
23:11:23 <oerjan> boily: antipodes hth
23:11:50 <oerjan> shachaf: i don't know chicago :(
23:12:06 <Quintopia> oerjan: but it coooooould still be true and history just forgot >.>
23:12:22 <boily> oerjan: tdh. t.
23:12:24 <shachaf> oerjan: http://www.metrolyrics.com/roxie-lyrics-chicago-the-musical.html
23:12:49 <shachaf> anyway now i know the origin of "here a * / there a * / everywhere a *"
23:13:07 <Quintopia> wait...it's not from old macdonald?
23:13:22 <shachaf> it is (apparently)
23:13:53 <Quintopia> oh. wait... what made you think it came from anywhere else?
23:13:57 <shachaf> i guess i'd never heard the full song in english before
23:14:07 <Quintopia> where are you from?
23:14:18 <shachaf> i think i've heard it in hebrew
23:14:36 <shachaf> ("uncle moshe had a farm")
23:14:56 <Quintopia> israel?
23:15:04 -!- MindlessDrone has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
23:15:06 <shachaf> yes
23:15:20 <Quintopia> well now i've also learned something...
23:15:38 <shachaf> ?
23:15:52 <shachaf> maybe i've heard it in english too and just forgotten
23:16:06 <oerjan> boily: the only problem is they're non-euclidean antipodes, so you won't find r'lyeh just by changing coordinate signs hth
23:17:03 <Quintopia> actually, i happen to know that many parts of chicago are very close to Fairy
23:17:11 <Quintopia> this i learned from Dresden Files
23:17:32 <Quintopia> there are probably parts very close to R'lyeh also
23:17:57 <Quintopia> how would you like to live in that house?
23:18:16 <boily> oerjan: I don't change signs anymore now that I work with dental prosthesis. last time I did that... well. it was... I don't think the result would have fit in a three-dimensional mouth.
23:18:40 <oerjan> boily: did you just denture cthulhu?
23:19:07 <boily> once we expand our clientèle over to the Outer Planes.
23:19:34 <oerjan> (actually changing signs isn't right for longitude anyway)
23:20:16 <boily> axes in dentistry are fun! we have: buccal/lingual, occlusal/cervical and mesial/distal!
23:20:22 <boily> and they're context dependent!
23:27:19 <Taneb> Is it possible to send graphics via telnet?
23:27:43 <ion> yes
23:28:03 <Taneb> In such a way that common telnet clients do the write thing.
23:28:11 <Taneb> And I'm not counting ASCII art
23:28:35 <ion> Aww, i was about to link telnet://nyancat.dakko.us
23:28:44 <boily> https://github.com/asciimoo/drawille ?
23:29:29 -!- MindlessDrone has joined.
23:30:19 <Taneb> boily, Telnet isn't 8-bit clan
23:30:24 <Taneb> *clean
23:30:41 <zzo38> Doesn't telnet have a way to specify terminal capabilities?
23:30:48 <boily> Taneb: yuck!
23:45:23 <Taneb> Goodnight!
23:45:56 <boily> bonne tanuitb!
23:52:04 <oerjan> * boily wonders if there's a greek prefix for something between mono- and poly-... <-- oligo- ?
23:52:38 <oerjan> although that's really a subset of poly-, i guess.
23:52:38 <FireFly> So I know what a monopoly is, and what an oligopoly is, but what is a polypoly?
23:53:47 <boily> a free market?
23:54:26 <FireFly> I suppose
23:57:04 <boily> at least you identified the Fourth Kind of polies. mono, oli, roly, and poly.
