00:24:32 <CrazyM4n> As if the universe is mission critical
00:25:23 <int-e> Good point, we're in no position to tell.
00:26:10 <CrazyM4n> Hell, it's probably slapped together in BF or something as an example of cellular automata
00:40:15 <oerjan> if the gods are so alien they think BF is a good language for slapping things together we're all doomed anyway

00:43:55 <CrazyM4n> I got this life sustaining universe down to 1,300,000 chars!
00:44:22 <oerjan> i think that's a bit bloated
00:45:52 <oerjan> see, if you use complex numbers instead of probabilities you can cut it down to just 14,000 and the inhabitants will never notice unless they start probing ridiculously small distances
00:46:04 <int-e> the trick is to keep your code simple and plant all future behaviour in the ether.

01:49:52 <CrazyM4n> So I'm going to try to golf down a befunge interpreter
01:49:56 <CrazyM4n> Perl or ruby?

01:50:41 <CrazyM4n> Ah screw you I already wrote like half of that
01:50:55 <CrazyM4n> Actually, I'll finish it
01:50:59 <CrazyM4n> and golf it
01:51:06 <CrazyM4n> Gotta stay on top of the things I start
01:51:30 <oren> sounds good. yeah i have that problem too, i mash out a prototype and never finalize it
01:51:49 <Lilin> Perl
01:51:52 <Lilin> Ruby is eh
01:54:21 <CrazyM4n> http://i.imgur.com/PQZEVYa.png Perl and your weird function names
01:55:24 <oren> yeah... the keywords are unClike too: last? next?
01:55:43 <Lilin> open without death
01:55:59 <oren> i have a cheat sheet somewhere with the differences.
01:56:56 <oren> yeah open or die; appears in a lot of my scripts
01:57:34 <Lilin> Sadism = perl
01:58:07 <oren> but in C i prefer if(!F=fopen())goto hell;
01:58:15 <CrazyM4n> It's actually a death threat against the file
01:58:36 <Lilin> Well then
01:58:55 <Lilin> I find languages to be more evil nowadays
02:01:17 <oren> i also sometimes do things like for(){if()goto heaven;}
02:02:06 <CrazyM4n> good old while 1 == 1
02:02:23 <oren> actually imperative languages rarely make it easy to specify a loop with two separate ending conditions leading to different results
02:02:48 <oren> with tail recursion it is easy
02:04:52 <CrazyM4n> It's all easy in functional languages until you realize you're neck deep in code that's neck deep in recursions and category theory that you don't understand why the code uses it
02:06:40 <oren> that is why instead of using functional languages, we steal features and smuggle them into our imperative kingdom in the dead of night.
02:07:01 <zzo38> oren: Well, usually in such cases I don't need to use goto anyways, although sometimes it can help a bit
02:07:06 <CrazyM4n> It's like a slave trade
02:07:15 <zzo38> Especially in C; in BASIC programs I will write GOTO a bit more often than in a C program.
02:08:01 <oren> in C i often use return instead of goto, but it comes to the same thing
02:08:29 <oren> you have control flow that forks in the middle of a loop

11:38:32 <int-e> I don't like the German esolang, but it is more original than simply stating the names of the actions.

12:04:34 <fizzie> Oh, right, it's the unassuming "env" directory.
12:05:04 <oerjan> this is when we discover the repository has been broken since 2011

13:18:59 <int-e> ah, I wish the article would focus on semantics instead of syntax.
13:19:49 <int-e> The way it looks now, it could still be a Brainfuck clone.
13:20:21 <oerjan> hm a brainfuck equivalent that is so obfuscated we never notice
13:29:37 <ais523> OK, what about a esolanguage that is normally interesting in an eso sort of way
13:29:47 <ais523> however, it has a 0.1% chance of interpreting any input program as brainfuck instead
13:30:11 <int-e> oerjan: "This is my new universal language which I developed specificially for writing a Brainfuck interpreter in!"
13:30:54 <int-e> oerjan: Would omitting that sentence count as obfuscation?
13:31:31 <ais523> why would you develop a language for writing a BF interpreter in? BF's too simple
13:31:50 <int-e> ais523: I'm speculating about the meaning of "obfuscation".
13:31:54 <ais523> I mean, I developed a language for writing INTERCAL optimizers in, but that's complex enough that it could do with a language of its own
13:32:14 <ais523> how do we define brainfuck equivalency, btw? at the command level?
13:32:30 <int-e> I was thinking "Turing completeness."
13:32:40 <oerjan> wat
13:32:44 <ais523> well, yes, I'm trying to find the definition we /actually/ mean
13:32:46 <ais523> and it's hard
13:33:02 <int-e> Ok, so we've identified the same problem :)
13:33:03 <ais523> something like "programs in this language can be translated to BF in linear time" are defeated by the bundle-an-interpreter trick
13:34:08 -!- _AndoDaan has joined.
13:34:27 <oerjan> something that's to brainfuck like zzo38's 1d chess is to chess
13:36:35 <b_jonas> fizzie: here's what that graph reminds me to http://www.math.bme.hu/~ambrus/pu/missing-abs
13:36:41 <ais523> I don't know of zzo38's 1D chess
13:36:45 <ais523> is it anything like my 1D sokoban?
13:37:32 <int-e> 1D sokoban...
13:37:50 <oerjan> a most intriguing game
13:38:24 <int-e> I'm tring to figure out whether it could be made interesting. Say, by adding the ability to jump over a box.
13:38:51 <ais523> each square allowed you to teleport to a specific other square
13:39:08 <int-e> Ah.
13:39:11 <ais523> other than that, it was identical to regular sokoban
13:39:26 <oerjan> did the blocks teleport too?
13:39:27 <b_jonas> ais523: does it teleport boxes too?
13:39:36 <ais523> no, the boxes just move normally
13:39:54 <b_jonas> ais523: can you teleport on a box?
13:40:05 <b_jonas> or inside a wall?
13:40:42 <b_jonas> do you get teleported at most once after each move?
13:41:04 <ais523> you can choose when to teleport, and can teleport multiple times in a row if you like
13:41:08 <ais523> you can't teleport under a box
13:41:14 <ais523> and there are no walls except one at each end
13:41:29 <ais523> (and the teleport destinations are all on the map, obviously)
13:41:34 -!- shikhout has changed nick to shikhin.
13:41:48 * int-e is reminded of the cyberbox level subset in xsok
13:42:24 <int-e> though teleportation there just picks the nearest free teleporter, so it's not the same.
13:43:33 <b_jonas> ah
13:43:39 <b_jonas> so there's no mandatory teleport
13:43:39 <b_jonas> ok
13:43:55 <b_jonas> I guess walls aren't really necessary, you can emulate them with boxes anyway
13:48:01 <oerjan> i can find logs where zzo38 talks about it but no actual link
13:48:42 <oerjan> point was, it was 1d yet entirely equivalent to chess
13:50:25 <ais523> presumably the board was 64 by 1, and each piece had a set of distances it could move forwards or backwards
13:50:33 <ais523> main problem there is preventing the sides of the board wrapping
13:51:29 <shachaf> <zzo38> Vorpal: Yes. It is not quite like category theory, though. I do not understand category theory completely, so it is not category theory.
13:51:32 <shachaf> whoa
13:51:52 <oerjan> Q.E.D.
13:52:24 <shachaf> oerjan: http://www.chessvariants.org/index/msdisplay.php?itemid=MSeeeeeeeeeeeeee hth
13:52:37 <fizzie> b_jonas: Oh, it's a common theme?
13:53:01 <ais523> I'd be very surprised if 1D Sokoban were equivalent to Sokoban
13:53:20 <ais523> if it is, maybe there's a rule that "everything is PSPACE-complete unless it obviously isn't"
13:53:36 <oerjan> ais523: sounds like a corollary to that wolfram thing
13:53:44 <oerjan> or the similar TC thing
13:54:02 <oerjan> and of course there has be one for NP
13:54:04 <b_jonas> fizzie: what?
13:54:35 <oerjan> shachaf: thx
13:54:40 <ais523> oerjan: I don't see any reason why turing-completeness being common would cause pspace-completeness to be common
13:54:56 <ais523> (especially as np-completeness seems more common in practice, and I don't think anyone really believes that pspace=np)
13:55:29 <oerjan> ais523: i think it's basically about the kind of resources you have available
13:55:55 <oerjan> if your game is about finding a fixed solution setup, it's NP-complete
13:56:14 <ais523> right; the paper about computational complexity of computer games mentioned, for most of those games, that they weren't above NP because all moves were irreversible
13:56:21 <oerjan> if it's about finding a solution that moves around inside a setup, it's PSPACE-complete
13:56:35 <oerjan> and if it actually has unbounded state, it's TC
13:57:09 <ais523> now I want to think up a counterexample to that
13:57:19 <oerjan> of course there will be some in theory
13:57:20 <ais523> although, by that heuristic, 1D sokoban is PSPACE-complete

13:59:50 <oerjan> ais523: of course _all_ of them, in addition to resources, require your game or the like to have enough local logical primitives

14:01:06 <ais523> that said, it still frustrates me that some of the constructions in the computer games complexity paper are wrong

15:55:54 <ais523> because that's the base case of the induction
15:57:02 <b_jonas> shachaf: not since http://dilbert.com/fast/2014-11-15/ I think
15:57:40 <cluid> R = /^[345]*2[1-9][1-9]*$/
15:57:40 <cluid> dR/d2 = /^[1-9][1-9]*$/
15:57:46 <cluid> dR/d3,4,5 = R
15:59:21 <cluid> this is extremely difficult

16:02:40 <oerjan> b_jonas: that loads so fast i cannot see it
16:02:50 <oerjan> ah there
16:02:51 <cluid> b_jonas, why not [345]*2[1-9]* ?
16:03:19 <cluid> I tried to derive that regex myself
16:03:24 <cluid> but I got a different answer
16:03:28 <b_jonas> cluid: because the rules specifically forbid giving an empty string
16:03:39 <cluid> this string always has 2 in it though
16:03:50 <cluid> oh
16:04:05 <cluid> so [345]*2[1-9]+ ,which is what you have

16:07:00 <cluid> http://lpaste.net/116084
16:07:21 <cluid> I think this characterizes the strings which are mortal, so this might be a step in the right direction?
16:08:09 <cluid> oh it would be !R union those (whic lets us delete the last one)
16:09:51 <oerjan> what's !R
16:09:57 <cluid> the negation of the regex R
16:10:15 <oerjan> that's not what mortal means
16:10:21 <cluid> I don't think regex is powerful enough for this problem though, since you have m x ++ 2 ++ m x
16:10:29 <cluid> the same string occurs twice
16:10:38 <oerjan> it can take any number of iterations to die
16:10:46 <cluid> oh I see what you mean, thanks
16:12:06 <cluid> maybe you could express mortal strings as a CFG?
16:12:08 <oerjan> b_jonas: this does resemble dupdog...
16:12:27 <oerjan> cluid: i doubt it
16:13:17 <cluid> yeah i gues thats hard
16:13:38 <cluid> well another approach might be: If you can decide if a string diverges then you wi
16:13:39 <cluid> n
16:13:57 <cluid> that also looks very hard to find though
16:15:24 <oerjan> well you can rephrase the question but you have to have some reason if that rephrasing is going to be easier to solve...
16:15:49 <cluid> I think this problem is too hard to solve, but it would be nice to solve it
16:15:50 -!- ais523 has quit.
16:15:55 * oerjan realizes he just rephrased the problem of finding a solution
16:16:57 <int-e> It has worked before...
16:17:18 <cluid> M xs when not (P xs) or (P xs and M (m xs))
16:17:25 <cluid> this is theform of the mortal predicate
16:17:29 <oerjan> int-e: now that's crazy talk
16:17:32 <cluid> where P tells you if a string is in the machine
16:20:08 <cluid> are there strings which grow large then get smaller?
16:20:13 <cluid> if not its probably decidable
16:20:25 <b_jonas> oerjan: dupdog... hmm
16:20:31 <cluid> well ther are strings like 5:5:5:5:something
16:20:38 <cluid> which gets really big them the 'somethings' might get smaller
16:20:45 <cluid> 555555555444 for example
16:21:04 <cluid> that would need pathced I guess
16:21:05 <int-e> wait, can some op add +n to the channel modes, please?
16:21:19 <int-e> seeing messages from kicked people is ... strange.
16:21:32 <b_jonas> int-e: ais deliberately has it at -n until it becomes a problem
16:21:34 <b_jonas> as a test
16:21:38 <b_jonas> so don't set it to +n yet
16:22:16 <cluid> this problem is very hard :(
16:22:18 <int-e> well, consider this as one vote for it being a nuisance then.
16:22:43 <cluid> i dont think its -n that is a nuisance
16:23:16 <cluid> anyway, can you give ma hint for solving the McCulloch's second machine
16:23:29 <int-e> it is to me. it breaks my mental model of IRC. ;-)

16:24:19 <b_jonas> oerjan: the ban doesn't apply for people who aren't joined,

16:24:25 <oerjan> b_jonas: oh.
16:24:37 <cluid> oerjan, any insights into this
16:24:38 <int-e> cluid: the -----### depicts a paddle, btw.
16:24:42 <cluid> lol
16:24:49 <cluid> i thought it was a swatter
16:24:55 <oerjan> int-e: no, it's a flyswatter hth
16:24:56 <int-e> oh
16:25:21 <int-e> oerjan: oh. how did you depict mapoles?
16:25:37 <b_jonas> oerjan: basically the server caches which joined users can talk on a channel, so it doesn't have to recompute it from the channel modes at each message, but it doesn't want to cache anything for non-joined users, so it just allows everyone
16:25:47 <cluid> so help me with math please :)
16:25:49 <oerjan> <cluid> anyway, can you give ma hint for solving the McCulloch's second machine <-- this is a problem that _we_ don't know how to solve yet, so unlikely.
16:26:16 <b_jonas> oerjan: besides, you can see messages from recently kicked users because of multiple server stuff
16:26:20 <cluid> I thought of something
16:26:22 <int-e> Anyway, my impression of the McCulloch machine was that it's a hard problem, and that there may just be enough rope to hang it on the TC nail.
16:26:45 <cluid> all infinite loops occur in the following way: x is in R, and m x is in R
16:26:59 <b_jonas> int-e: if it matters, my guess is that there is a relatively short algorithm to decide mortality, and has a human-understandible length of proof.

16:27:24 <cluid> oh wait that's wrong

16:27:40 -!- ZombieAlive has joined.
16:27:43 <cluid> you need a language R' such that: forall x in R', m x is in R'
16:28:07 <cluid> the loops live in R'

16:31:19 <cluid> like that?
16:31:47 <shachaf> int-e: whoa
16:31:50 <cluid> this language is empty :/
16:31:58 <cluid> this approach doesn't work
16:33:06 <oren> perhaps you could write a prover in prolog?
16:33:18 <oerjan> cluid: note that you are going to have a _very_ hard time finding a "general" method to solve it, because only takes a bit different rules to get a "tag system" for which the problem _is_ unsolvable.
16:33:43 <oerjan> so if it is solvable it needs looking at specific properties of the rules used
16:34:12 <oerjan> *it only
16:35:35 <cluid> I don't really have any other ways I could approach the problem though
16:36:32 <int-e> In fact, I'd say that tag systems look simpler!
16:36:42 <oerjan> indeed!
16:36:43 <cluid> if S is the language of looping machines, S -> 2 S | 3 K | ...
16:36:58 <cluid> then K is the language of machines such that m x ++ 2 ++ m x is a looping machine
16:38:21 <cluid> http://lpaste.net/116090 it seems unlikey to transform this program into something which can be computed
16:38:31 <oerjan> int-e: the only thing that might make this simpler is that you don't have many constant strings.
16:38:44 <cluid> it needs "base cases"

16:41:04 <int-e> oerjan: And of course it may be possible that mortal strings are easy to characterize and you can *still* embed a TC language in the immortal one (say, some CA).
16:41:10 <oren> do you mean actually functional, or just procedural?
16:41:23 <int-e> oerjan: But that's just crazy talk at this point.

21:07:21 <oren> how come so many languages have REPLs but don't porvide the ability to save functions/variables you have defined on the REPL?
21:10:00 <int-e> because they are read-eval-print-loops, not editors.
21:10:38 <oren> but BASIC had that ability in the 1980s
21:11:08 <oren> and matlab has it
21:11:23 <oren> why can't GOOD languages do it?
21:11:48 <cluid> yeah it sucks
21:11:50 <cluid> i dont get it either
21:11:51 <int-e> Not trying to be cocky. It's a mindset that comes from editing code in editors, then loading it to run it. Once you reach that point it's easier to modify the code in the editor and reload it.
21:12:23 <int-e> The strange thing is that nevertheless, simple REPL loops often grow and acquire the ability to define new functions.
21:13:40 <oren> i just had to scroll up in my terminal, and copypaste it and edit the prompts out
21:13:50 <oren> that should not be necessary
21:16:21 <int-e> (The REPLs I can think of don't even keep the entered source code around.)
21:17:12 -!- Vorpal has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds).
21:17:31 <int-e> It's noteworthy BASIC comes from a completely different era when running two programs simultaneously was generally not done. So of course you needed an IDE, rather than just a REPL, and an IDE that can't save code is worthless.
21:18:05 <glguy> With a repl you can define definitions in terms of previous effects: x = sizeOfFile "somefile"; f y = y + x, so it might not be enough to just save a function definition. You'd probably need to save the whole transcript
21:18:11 -!- Vorpal has joined.
21:18:14 -!- Vorpal has quit (Changing host).
21:18:14 -!- Vorpal has joined.
21:30:10 <Jafet> You can save the current state of the REPL
21:31:26 <oren> yeah that's what I mean: you should be able to turn the state where there is a variable x and it contains 19, into a file containing "x = 19"
21:31:36 -!- ocharles_ has joined.
21:32:05 <Jafet> Some REPLs store the transcript in a list which you can write out or replay manually (ipython, mathematica)
21:32:37 <glguy> Others let you save a snapshot of the heap to reload later
21:33:18 <Jafet> oren: what about the state where x is a file descriptor?
21:33:50 -!- tswett has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds).
21:34:03 <oren> in that case it should either fail to save x or turn it into fopen...fseek...
21:34:27 <oren> not that the language would necessarily use C's functions
21:35:20 -!- Melvar has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds).
21:35:31 <Jafet> What if the file is an open TCP socket
21:35:59 <glguy> obviously you'd just also save a version of the remote program alongside your REPL state
21:36:12 <oren> then it should definitely fail (with an error like "cannot save this type of value: TCP-socket")
21:36:13 <glguy> and bring both back up when you were ready
21:36:27 <int-e> I would think that saving transcripts would be useful. Going beyond that in languages that don't have native code inspection is probably not going to pay off.
21:37:13 <glguy> Isn't this basically how smaltalk environments work?
21:37:19 <int-e> So ... not Lisp, Scheme or TCL, did I miss any? ;-)
21:37:37 <int-e> The smalltalk environments that I've seen (very few) use Heap images.
21:38:13 <glguy> which presumably do something to abstract out these rough edges when resuming from a saved heap
21:38:18 <glguy> (where they can be smoothed)
21:38:26 <int-e> probably
21:38:36 -!- Melvar has joined.
21:38:37 <oren> why can't it save as source code?
21:38:48 <oren> like BASIC did?
21:39:27 <cluid> you should be able to
21:39:30 <oren> that way i can develop a function in the repl and then compile it
21:39:46 <cluid> you could make a better REPL with this feature
21:40:37 <oren> i am working on one for scrip7...
21:40:55 <int-e> But the approach to IDEs has been turned upside down. Rather than extending a REPL with editing functionality, we have editors that integrate the REPL.
21:41:19 <cluid> good oren
21:41:20 <int-e> If you want code editing, the state of the art is to use an editor, not a REPL.
21:41:26 <cluid> scrip7 is really cool
21:41:54 <oren> it will be cooler... current version kinda sucks
21:42:24 <oren> it needs better repl, which i am making in ncurses
21:46:04 <oren> the registers will have context-relevant display above the normal scrip7 command line
21:47:51 <oren> and of course the new version of langugae will have better IO commands providing functionality as described above
21:48:28 <oren> and the context-relevant display is fully editable of course
21:49:04 <oren> e.g. point register 0 to a 64-bit value, then edit the displayed value directly
21:50:21 <oren> a drop-in debug/programming console for any C program is what it ends up being
