00:41:23 * oerjan just dislikes things not giving a timezone if it's not UTC
01:11:21 <oerjan> oh hm i must have pressed the wrong vim button for the count, i thought i'd beat them by 1 char
01:11:36 <oerjan> oh well it's a tie
01:13:59 <oerjan> it doesn't seem _that_ impossible to find a shorter expression though...
01:14:03 <elliott> oerjan: note that newlines are dangerous
01:14:44 <oerjan> not the problem, although i've never actually checked with _not_ removing the final newline on input i think...
01:15:02 <oerjan> i know the program _output_ doesn't care about trailing newlines.
01:15:50 <oerjan> elliott: or, it _may_ have been the problem in vim (not doing a full line selection), but it wasn't a problem when submitting.
01:16:22 <oerjan> because i usually select the full line and mentally subtract the newline from the count.
01:16:42 <elliott> I mean in the program
01:16:46 <oerjan> or wait perhaps it was even more stupid.
01:16:58 <elliott> they are \r\n through the web form
01:16:58 <oerjan> elliott: only at the end, in haskell, usually.
01:17:06 <elliott> \n if you upload a unix format text file
01:17:10 <oerjan> elliott: huh? never had that problem.
01:17:17 <elliott> maybe it was fixed
01:17:20 <oerjan> even if i use the form from windows
01:17:31 <elliott> you used to pay double for newlines unless you uploaded
01:17:37 <oerjan> also, this program is one line anyway.
01:17:57 <oerjan> ok
01:18:30 <oerjan> i actually, since i am on windows, used the form because i assumed if it broke it was likely to be the _other_ way :P
01:19:09 <oerjan> also i keep all my golfs in one file so it's awkward to upload.
01:24:14 <int-e> oerjan: it's much easier to find longer expression...
01:24:40 <oerjan> OKAY
01:25:01 <int-e> my favourite so far contained sum[2..a]
01:25:14 <int-e> but it was too long.
02:21:56 <int-e> okay, got "swap the characters" -- it's actually cheating!
02:22:12 <oerjan> argh
02:22:24 <int-e> but you can get to 80 without cheating.
02:30:44 <oerjan> the only possible cheat information i've found is the fact that none of the starting words have 2 chars, but i haven't found any improvement from that.
02:30:59 <oerjan> well, also there are no lines with no swap commands.
02:31:31 <int-e> I've already said more than I should.
02:31:36 <oerjan> ah
02:31:47 <int-e> good luck :)
03:09:33 -!- copumpkin has joined.
03:10:10 <oerjan> remarkable. i discovered i had overengineered the way to apply a single swap to a character, and now i'm down to 81.
03:10:35 <int-e> I've made some progress on Asteriks and Obeliks in the meantime :)
03:10:42 <oerjan> ah
03:13:09 <oerjan> wtf etc.
03:15:42 <oerjan> i see. you are now at exactly the length i would have had if i _didn't_ need that stupid strip-final-spaces version of ++.
03:16:27 <oerjan> or wait, not exactly.
03:16:35 <oerjan> of unwords, rather.
03:16:48 <oerjan> hm...
03:22:05 <oerjan> or well, my main function is 73 chars.
03:22:18 <oerjan> *action
03:23:23 <oerjan> which means, logically, that you probably have found a way to get that stripping for free, at least.
03:25:18 <int-e> well, not completely free.
03:26:19 <oerjan> oh hm i recall something i did in another golf recently...
03:29:07 <int-e> 10 characters, I think.
03:29:15 <oerjan> ah yes the euclidian norm one required stripping with another method.
03:30:20 <oerjan> more than 10 chars, though :(
03:44:47 <Sgeo> Is it just me or is Scala filled with things where a person -can- determine behavior statically, but it can be a bit tricky?
03:45:28 <Sgeo> Implicits in scope, but tracking all of them might be tricky... guess a good IDE could help with that, but do you really want to rely on an IDE to help read code?
03:47:47 <Sgeo> At least now I understand what's going on with https://github.com/urso/embeddedmonads
03:48:24 <Sgeo> At least why the call looks the way it does, it's just a matter of {} being a value + not needing parens + type of runOption indicating a thunk
03:48:44 <Sgeo> Not that {} is automatically a thunk, it's just the type of the called function that causes it to be
03:50:50 <Sgeo> I still don't get the cps typing though

07:00:25 <zzo38> I know they have opposite signs
07:00:27 <Slereah> In the current understanding of the big bang, there is a timelike singularity

14:05:20 <fizzie> That times log_10(2) should be about the number of digits for your earlier 2^2^2^2^10.

18:02:14 <zzo38> SignX: I think is probably best to just post on this channel; there was a forum but it isn't very good so just use the IRC.

18:06:11 <zzo38> Esolang is very unusual compared to most kind of "ordinary" programming languages, but there is still something to learn from.
18:06:51 <zzo38> There are also logs of this IRC channel, and stuff on the talk pages of the wiki, which are some things to possibly look at.

18:10:32 <zzo38> Well, let's see and then perhaps some questions, comments, and complaints can be made.
18:10:57 <SignX> Probably :)

18:11:23 <SignX> yes, javacc

18:16:27 <SignX> You mean powerful in the sense that your syntax can be more complex?
18:17:13 <zzo38> Yes.
18:17:19 <SignX> Until now it proved powerful enough. The language itself is quite simple.
18:17:40 <zzo38> Well, LL(1) parsers are often good enough.
18:17:58 <SignX> I did not have any Compiler courses or anything, so my knowledge of the topic is not that good.

18:20:01 <SignX> I remembered some concepts I found very interesting during my study and tried to combine them into a programming language. I am not even sure if it is Turing complete or anything. That is why I am developing this prototype in Java. To see how my ideas hold up in practise.
18:20:03 <myname> the dragon book :p
18:20:27 <zzo38> SignX: Yes, you can try and see how well it might work.

19:19:27 <Sgeo> I think I saw that large sunspot, but not in much detail
19:19:47 <Sgeo> HMm, that image will go away soon, won't it
19:20:15 <Sgeo> For the logs: http://i.imgur.com/PBK8KLD.jpg

19:24:27 <olsner> hmm, you stared at the sun to see some sunspots, and now your eyes feel a bit weird?

19:44:48 <Sgeo> "One thing I didn't notice however was a warning about not looking at the sun with them on for more than 3 minutes. My husband noticed this and told me about it. It would be good to include that information more prominently, so it will be blatantly obvious - IN LARGE LETTERS - on the outside of the glasses themselves. It was printed inside the glasses on the ear piece in very small text."
19:44:50 <Sgeo> THE FUCK?
19:46:16 <Sgeo> I don't see any such notice on mine
19:46:48 <Sgeo> Oh, someone commented on that review "It sounds like someone did a bait and switch on you as the CE Certified glasses from Rainbow Symphony which are Black do not say anything like that on the inside frames. It sounds like you recevied a pair of Solar Skreens instead which are a cheaper Mylar film than the Ploymer Film used in Eclipse Shades."
19:49:26 <Sgeo> So, there are some glasses which say 3 minutes continuous use. These don't, but now I'm worried
20:06:13 <Sgeo> "Letters, which include lower case letters (Ll), upper case letters (Lu), titlecase letters (Lt)"
20:06:17 <Sgeo> Titlecase letters?
20:06:53 <fizzie> There are some two-letter "letters".
20:07:10 <fizzie> For which you have both lowercase "ab", uppercase "AB" and a titlecase "Ab".
20:07:11 <myname> i'd assume "kapitälchen" in german
20:07:17 <myname> ah
20:08:41 <fizzie> `unidecode DZDzdz
20:08:42 <HackEgo> ​[U+01F1 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER DZ] [U+01F2 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D WITH SMALL LETTER Z] [U+01F3 LATIN SMALL LETTER DZ]
20:09:10 <fizzie> `unicode Dz
20:09:11 <HackEgo> U+01F2 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D WITH SMALL LETTER Z \ UTF-8: c7 b2 UTF-16BE: 01f2 Decimal: &#498; \ Dz (DZ) \ Uppercase: U+01F1 \ Category: Lt (Letter, Titlecase) \ Bidi: L (Left-to-Right) \ Decomposition: <compat> 0044 007A
20:09:20 <fizzie> That's a titlecase letter ("Lt" category), for example.
20:09:44 <myname> crazy stuff
20:10:13 <fizzie> "The titlecase mapping in Unicode differs from the uppercase mapping in that a number of characters require special handling. These are chiefly ligatures and digraphs such as 'fl', 'dz', and 'lj', plus a number of polytonic Greek characters. For example, U+01C7 (LJ) maps to U+01C8 (Lj) rather than to U+01C9 (lj)."
20:12:14 <fizzie> There are a total of 31 titlecase letters.
20:13:27 <fizzie> Four Latin ligatures (Dž, Lj, Nj and Dz -- that is, Dž, Lj, Nj and Dz) and 27 Greek ones.
20:14:34 -!- AnotherTest has joined.
20:15:10 -!- thekey has joined.
20:15:15 <Lymia> Why are those ligatures again?
20:15:20 <Lymia> Instead of stuff handled by kerning in the font
20:15:35 <fizzie> GREEK CAPITAL LETTER {ALPHA,ETA,OMEGA} WITH {PSILI,DASIA} AND {,VARIA AND ,OXIA AND ,PERISPOMENI AND }PROSGEGRAMMENI.
20:16:21 <fizzie> Lymia: "For compatibility".
20:17:23 <fizzie> "Because of the inclusion of certain composite characters for compatiblity, such as U+01F1 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER DZ, a third case, called titlecase, is used where the first character of a word must be capitalized." (Unicode 7.0.0, chapter 4.2.)
20:19:41 <fizzie> Good old round-trip convertibility design goal.
20:33:13 <Sgeo> I think I forgot about my eyes feeling weird

23:52:29 <oerjan> <zzo38> Can LALR(1) grammars have states with more than one kind of reduce depending on the lookahead? <-- i _think_ so, provided that the resulting symbols can only occur with those respective lookaheads.
23:53:18 <oerjan> 8 minutes to europe's yearly backwards time travel
23:53:27 <oerjan> sorry, 7
23:53:53 <oerjan> or wait
23:54:04 <oerjan> is it 2-1 or 3-2, sheesh
23:54:26 <zzo38> I do not understand your response very well?
23:55:56 <oerjan> well if you have E that can only be followed by c ever, and F that can only be followed by d ever, then you could have E and F reduce from the same thing, i think.
23:56:56 <oerjan> (this slightly adapted from wikipedia's example of an LR(1) non-LALR(1) grammar, where both E and F can be followed by c and d, but with different prefixes.
23:56:59 <oerjan> )
23:58:39 <oerjan> ah it's 3->2. so make that 1 hour 2 minutes, now.
23:59:10 <zzo38> I have seen that example, but I don't think that is my question. What I mean is if there can be different "r" actions in a single row of the table.
23:59:34 <oerjan> i didn't mean that example.
23:59:57 <zzo38> Like in this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LR(k)#Parse_table_for_the_example_grammar there is row 6 says "r3" three times, and row 7 says "r4" three times; it doesn't have both "r3" and "r4" in the same row.
