00:11:23 <tswett> Neat.
00:11:37 <tswett> (But you're violating my bracket indentation rule! Which nobody but me follows, as far as I know.)
00:12:32 <tswett> Namely: a line containing an opening bracket should have the same indentation level as the line containing the corresponding closing bracket.
00:13:13 <Sgeo> where clauses make all indentation stuff so confusing to me
00:13:46 <tswett> I'd move the opening bracket after a where clause onto a separate line.
00:13:49 <tswett> Just my own personal whim.

03:32:45 * hppavilion[1] applauds Oren
03:32:58 <hppavilion[1]> oren: How are you making the font? What program are you using?

03:35:32 <oren> now up to 2535 characyters, holy crap
03:38:32 <oren> I'm ranked 19th on the site by number of charatcers
03:39:39 <coppro> oren: what's the license?
03:39:45 <coppro> oh nvm it's listed
03:40:44 <coppro> my thesis got approved \o/

04:28:45 <hppavilion[1]> http://fontstruct.com is cooooooooooooooooool
04:29:13 <hppavilion[1]> I'm making a duospace font
04:29:42 <coppro> duospace?
04:30:22 <hppavilion[1]> It's like monospace
04:30:29 <hppavilion[1]> But it has two possible widths
04:30:48 <hppavilion[1]> Because I made it width 3 for monospace
04:30:52 <hppavilion[1]> Then I got to m
04:30:59 <hppavilion[1]> well, M
04:31:06 <coppro> oh
04:31:16 <hppavilion[1]> I may have to make it _tri_space for m
04:31:17 <coppro> right, and there's ideographs
04:31:30 <hppavilion[1]> My new goal in life is to beat Oren
04:31:33 <coppro> so unicode basically requires at least two sizes (and indeed, many "monospace" fonts are)
04:31:37 <hppavilion[1]> ideographs?
04:31:45 <hppavilion[1]> Ah
04:34:04 <hppavilion[1]> I'll probably develop a kewl monospace programming typeface later on
04:34:15 <oren> yah, I don't have any double width characters yet. but eventually I will
04:36:31 <hppavilion[1]> Why is my goal in life to beat someone I've never met at font character numbers?
04:36:37 <hppavilion[1]> WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?
04:36:44 <oren> awesome stuff?
04:36:47 <hppavilion[1]> Ah
04:36:50 <hppavilion[1]> Of course
04:36:51 <hppavilion[1]> Right
04:37:15 <hppavilion[1]> Duh
04:37:47 <oren> anyway, it didn't take me that much actual time to do this, i basically only work on it a few hours every month or so
04:38:23 <oren> like I don't remember doing anyhting with it last week

04:39:38 <hppavilion[1]> My fonting is awful xD
04:39:46 <hppavilion[1]> I made a fontain of death
04:40:04 <hppavilion[1]> I should get back to my Alg. II homework
04:41:22 <hppavilion[1]> Or not
04:41:47 <oren> ah homework. I am so gald to be out of school and thus KNOW when I am supposed to be working and not
04:42:37 <oren> Alg II? is that algorithms or algebra
04:44:24 <oren> or Algae ?
04:47:12 <hppavilion[1]> Algebrae
04:47:22 <hppavilion[1]> *Algebraethms
04:47:24 <oren> Welcome to Algae II. In this course, a continuation of Algae I, we'll move from the basic biology of algae to the modern algae industry, including modern algae farming
04:47:43 <hppavilion[1]> Of course, between Algae II and Algae I, there was Dogs
04:48:09 <hppavilion[1]> Naturally
04:49:43 <hppavilion[1]> Because for some reason Geometry is interspersed between Algebra I and II
04:49:45 <hppavilion[1]> Get it?
04:49:49 <hppavilion[1]> Uh
04:50:01 * hppavilion[1] shifts uncomfortably
04:50:21 <oren> I see... that's weird. I had Algebra I and II right in a row
04:50:26 <hppavilion[1]> Huh
04:50:57 <hppavilion[1]> At least under the McDougal Littell textbooks, we take Geometry between Algebras I and II
04:51:00 <oren> Algebra II wasn't required for Comp sci but I took it anyway
04:51:03 <hppavilion[1]> Or is it Algebrae?
04:51:04 <hppavilion[1]> No
04:51:16 <hppavilion[1]> Algebra is... uh...
04:51:32 <hppavilion[1]> Middle eastern... Arabic! It's arabic! Not Greek/Latin/etc.
04:51:48 <hppavilion[1]> I'm taking it because it's the next thing
04:51:56 <hppavilion[1]> I'm one of the only two freshmen in the class xD
04:52:04 <hppavilion[1]> Which was a nice ego boost
04:52:17 <oren> Algebrim?
04:52:25 <oren> Algebrin?
04:52:30 <oren> something like that
04:52:30 <hppavilion[1]> Algebrawalfijaoisea
04:52:58 <hppavilion[1]> ?sarbeglA
04:53:03 <lambdabot> Unknown command, try @list
04:53:10 <hppavilion[1]> Whoops
04:53:14 <hppavilion[1]> Forgot about Lambdabot
04:54:59 <oren> the only arabic plural I know is mujahidin
04:55:25 <oren> from some news site or somthing
04:55:58 <oren> it means "jihad fighter"
04:57:24 <hppavilion[1]> Shouldn't it be "fighters"
04:57:32 <hppavilion[1]> Or was that the reason you said that
04:57:42 <hppavilion[1]> To lure me into a trap where you get to explain stuff to me
05:00:00 <oren> yah
05:00:09 <oren> i forgot the s
05:00:45 <hppavilion[1]> oren, what's with the s in your font?
05:01:01 <oren> it is the way I write an s
05:01:14 <hppavilion[1]> Oh
05:01:21 <hppavilion[1]> It was to make it monspacier
05:01:25 <hppavilion[1]> *monospacier
05:01:32 * hppavilion[1] corrects a made-up word
05:02:24 <zzo38> I would want, to make a few new kind of signals for use with Linux, such as: SIGMEM (ignored by default), SIGOOM (terminate by default), SIGCONF (restart by default), SIGRESET (restart by default).
05:02:42 <zzo38> You can then use SIGMEM and SIGOOM for purpose with OOM-killer
05:05:08 <oren> I may at some point make a version with a curvier s
05:06:32 <oerjan> algebra may be originally arabic, but the -a at the end is certainly latin.
05:07:34 <oren> so algebrae then

11:45:54 <b_jonas> oren: I'm looking at http://www.orenwatson.be/fontdemo.htm from another machine with another browser, and it's still subpixel antialiased, as if it's shifted horizontally by a partial pixel.
11:46:01 <b_jonas> Let me try to work that around.
11:49:21 <b_jonas> Temporarily disabling subpixel aliasing globally has "fixed" it.
11:49:40 <Walpurgisnacht> o
11:49:48 <izabera> pick a regular die with 6 faces, 4 are green and 2 are blue
11:50:08 <izabera> roll it 20 times
11:50:14 <Walpurgisnacht> The entire Die is yellow
11:50:20 <izabera> not it's not
11:50:29 <Walpurgisnacht> ok
11:50:30 <izabera> without doing any specific calculation, tell me which of these sequences is more likely to appear:
11:50:51 <izabera> 1. BGBBB 2. GBGBBB 3. GBBBBB
11:51:22 <Walpurgisnacht> 2
11:51:27 <izabera> ok
11:51:39 <izabera> 2 is G followed by 1
11:51:59 <Walpurgisnacht> yes
11:52:29 <b_jonas> oren: also, it seems as if you've added some characters to the font or the demo
11:53:05 <b_jonas> let me see the details
11:53:09 <Walpurgisnacht> But its added colour to bgbbb gives it a statistically higher chance to roll in that sequence among the 20 rolls
11:53:33 <Walpurgisnacht> Its also a gut feeling
11:53:44 <izabera> it requires G to appear right before 1
11:53:58 <Walpurgisnacht> Actually I could paint a d6 to that colour scheme and see what happens
11:54:23 <Walpurgisnacht> to bad all I have is a d100
11:54:34 <b_jonas> oren: ah, I see you've redrawn the l-caron and d-caron
11:56:50 <b_jonas> oren: \x{174} seems to have the wrong accent
11:57:40 <b_jonas> oren: oh, I see you've added the Welsh letters
11:58:53 <b_jonas> oren: the new lowercase eth seems better, thanks
12:01:42 <b_jonas> oren: also, I see you've added the vietnamese characters in the \x{1e00} block (such as o with hook) too
12:14:01 -!- Walpurgisnacht has quit (Quit: Fuck me).
12:14:12 <b_jonas> oren: I see you've changed the k-commabelow, l-commabelow, n-commabelow, and the lowercase g-commaabove. But the capital G-commabelow looks odd, because it's not tall enough.

12:50:10 -!- J_Arcane has joined.
12:50:46 <myname> could have been a python discussion
12:51:16 <b_jonas> oren: yes, in fact we need twelve variants of them: the equals sign can be a double horizontal line, a single horizontal line, or a single slanted line; the less-than sign can be above or below; and the cross can be vertical or diagonal
12:51:35 <b_jonas> oren: but you need the double tilde and single tilde operators first
12:51:54 <oren> I've got all those
12:52:09 <oren> er, all the tilde ones
12:52:30 <b_jonas> ah, I see you have added the \x{2302} to the demo, it was just well hdiden

12:55:18 <b_jonas> I'm planning to eventually add some APL symbols though

12:55:39 <oren> those are in the misc. technical block
12:55:49 <myname> well, being as complete as possible is a nice feature for a font
12:56:11 <b_jonas> oren: APL symbols are spreaded among all blocks, because they overlap with other symbols, including ascii ones really.
12:56:34 <oren> Well yeah, I mean the ones specific to apl are there
12:56:40 <b_jonas> right
12:57:15 <b_jonas> I don't care much about the unicode blocks. I care about covering uses, and covering certain legacy 8-bit encodings because they often match usage better than unicode blocks.

12:57:37 <HackEgo> U+222B INTEGRAL \ UTF-8: e2 88 ab UTF-16BE: 222b Decimal: &#8747; \ ∫ \ Category: Sm (Symbol, Math) \ Bidi: ON (Other Neutrals) \ Character is mirrored \ \ U+222C DOUBLE INTEGRAL \ UTF-8: e2 88 ac UTF-16BE: 222c Decimal: &#8748; \ ∬ \ Category: Sm (Symbol, Math) \ Bidi: ON (Other Neutrals) \ Character is mirrored \ Decomposition: <compat>
12:57:56 <b_jonas> so I'll add some APL symbols by going through the large apl symbol palette, and add all that I care about, regardless of which block they're encoded in in unicode
12:58:03 <oren> ah
12:58:37 <oren> I did that at first when I was adding the DF charatcers
12:58:54 <myname> :D
12:59:10 <myname> your font is df complete?
12:59:21 <oren> Yup
12:59:27 <b_jonas> hehe
12:59:31 <b_jonas> doesn't df use only cp437?
12:59:37 <myname> nice
12:59:55 <b_jonas> I don't know, I don't follow all the crazy non-ascii roguelike graphics.
12:59:57 <b_jonas> I prefer ascii.
13:00:23 <myname> oren: do you plan on providing an aur package for your fontm
13:00:24 <oren> yeah it only uses cp437
13:00:34 <oren> what is aur?
13:00:44 <myname> arch user repository
13:01:01 <oren> oh.
13:01:56 <oren> possibly. although I find it easier to install fonts by cp font.ttf /usr/shar/fonts/; fc-cache -r
13:02:01 <b_jonas> oren: by the way, what's the license terms for that font?
13:02:12 <b_jonas> later when it gets stable, can I redistribute it if I want?
13:03:03 <oren> CC share alike attributin
13:03:19 <oren> http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/630397
13:03:20 <b_jonas> hmm... not very practical for a font, but ok
13:03:36 <b_jonas> thanks
13:03:41 -!- TieSoul has joined.
13:03:54 <oren> I plan to eventually put my by: as a charatcer in the font
13:04:03 <myname> tags: awesome
13:04:24 <b_jonas> (I should try to convert it to an x11 bitmap font.)
13:05:20 <oren> also tags: H4xx0r
13:05:36 <b_jonas> oren: perhaps make the demo page link to that page
13:05:43 <oren> good idea
13:06:29 <b_jonas> I mean, maybe the redistribution terms are there inside the font file, but I don't want to have to dive that to determine the terms.
13:07:02 -!- tromp_ has joined.
13:07:53 <oren> I meant that the words "by oren" would appear as a charatcer, thus fulfilling the license terms

13:12:34 <oren> My dad has a lot of obsolete European money from before the EU
13:13:43 <izabera> me too but i'm not sure if that really counts since i live in europe
13:14:46 <izabera> our banks allowed you to convert them to euros until 2010
13:15:18 <oren> hm... that's a long time
13:15:20 <myname> we still can do it today in germany
13:15:46 <oren> wow
13:16:26 <myname> there is no reason not to, is it?
13:16:47 <oren> well what do they do with the money they take?
13:16:58 <myname> destroy it?
13:17:04 <oren> eaxtcy
13:17:14 <b_jonas> oren: give you euro for it. same as back in the ages.
13:17:37 <b_jonas> they have to accept it for a long time, to inspire confidence that the money you have now won't suddenly turn worthless
13:17:44 <oren> Ah
13:18:01 <oren> yeah I can see that.
13:18:57 <b_jonas> in this sense, it's not like changing to the euro is really different from how the actual banknotes are always replaced gradually (with a half-life between two years and five years, more for non-paper banknotes like the romanian lei, much more for coins) while the non-physical currency remains the same stable thing.
13:20:34 <oren> my dad also has a lot of old couns with silver in them, sucht haht the silver is worth much more than the coin says it is
13:21:08 -!- nycs has joined.
13:21:43 <b_jonas> or how the banks have to change banknotes and coins from one denomination to another, conveniently and cheaply, because if I couldn't change my 20000 HUF banknotes to 10 pieces of 2000 HUF notes any time, then I'll no longer believe that those banknotes are actually worth 20000 HUF, and will refuse to draw much money from ATMs in 20000 HUF notes.
13:22:39 <b_jonas> (I can change them now, which is good.)
13:22:55 <oren> ah, you're in switzerland, right
13:23:05 <b_jonas> what? no
13:23:12 <b_jonas> I eat swiss chocolate sometimes, but I'm not there
13:23:19 <oren> what is a HUF
13:23:22 <b_jonas> the chocolate is imported
13:23:27 <b_jonas> HUF = Hungarian forint
13:23:37 <oren> Oh. wait what
13:23:46 <oren> Hungary isn't in the EU yet?
13:23:51 <b_jonas> sure it is
13:23:56 <b_jonas> but not in the part that uses euro
13:24:01 <b_jonas> half of the countries don't use euro yet
13:24:08 <oren> I thought the EU had gotten all the way to Russia's border?
13:24:19 <b_jonas> UK, Sweden, Hungary, and some others don't use EUR yet
13:24:25 <b_jonas> even if they are in the EU
13:24:25 <oren> ah
13:24:37 <Taneb> I think UK and Sweden have an explicit opt-out so they never need to switch
13:25:14 <b_jonas> it's complicated, different parts of the EU stuff involve different sets of countries
13:25:20 <b_jonas> (and varies by time too)
13:25:23 <oren> hmm is Ukraine in the EU or is it just tring
13:25:32 <Taneb> Ukraine is not in the EU
13:25:33 <oren> I guess it isn;t
13:25:40 <Taneb> And probably won't be for some time
13:25:54 <oren> so you haven't quite yet surrounded Russia
13:25:58 <b_jonas> Taneb: yes, they basically say they don't want to switch, but it's hard to predict anything, it's quite possible that Hungary will never switch either, even if they intend to switch now
13:26:29 <myname> weird
13:26:40 <b_jonas> oren: "surrounded"? what?
13:26:51 <oren> Well of three sides
13:27:12 <oren> the Baltics, Poland and Ukraine
13:27:33 <oren> surround part of russia
13:27:45 <myname> yeah, russians have nowhere to flee now
13:29:35 <oren> actually hold on isn't there a part of East Germany that the Russians still have or something?
13:29:53 <myname> huh?
13:30:01 <oren> yeah between poland and lithuania
13:30:02 <Taneb> Kaliningrad?
13:30:32 <oren> I remeber seeing an old map from before WWI where that was part of Germany
13:31:16 <Taneb> Yes, it was formerly in East Prussia, which was part of the German Empire
13:31:21 <oren> Yeah, it was in my 1898 atlas
13:32:36 <oren> Citizen's Atlas of the World
13:33:38 <oren> #only_1890_s_kids
13:37:35 <oren> Anyway that part is now surrounded by the EU
13:45:50 <oren> wow Austria-Hungary was Huuuuge
13:47:29 <oren> Seriously this map is like asking for shit to happen. There's no fucking countries between Austria-Hungary, Germany, and Russia.
13:47:50 <oren> what wer ethey thinking?!?!
13:50:06 <Taneb> It was a balance of power, of sorts

22:38:51 <HackEgo> kol? ¯\(°​_o)/¯

22:40:44 <boily> this isn't Hungarian.
22:41:20 <b_jonas> what?
22:41:46 <shachaf> `? thwackamacallit
22:41:48 <olsner> kol is carbon, or COPD
22:41:49 <HackEgo> A thwackamacallit is like a whatchamacallit, but more painful. See mapole.
22:42:12 <olsner> kål is pronounced the same and means cabbage
22:42:13 <b_jonas> no, kol is Kingdom of Loathing or something like that
22:42:44 <boily> no, it's a two-sided drum.
22:46:04 <hppavilion[1]> Hellu
22:46:14 <mauris_> olsner: in dutch they are even both "kool"!
22:46:31 <oren> I'm home from work!
22:46:31 <olsner> cool :)
22:47:08 <boily> kooren!
22:47:14 <boily> hppavellon[1]!
22:48:07 <oren> and i have my new Lenovo Thinkpad!
22:50:05 <oren> Fucking hell this thing is awesome
22:52:36 <boily> did you penguinify it already?
22:52:43 <oren> and, just as ordered, it has Windows 7
22:52:56 <oren> not fucking windows 8
22:56:04 <oren> boily: no, I'm tying this on my 9 year old laptop while setting up the new one
22:56:25 <boily> all in due time.
22:56:35 -!- boily has quit (Quit: INQUISITIVE CHICKEN).
22:56:44 <fizzie> What number of a Thinkpad is it?
22:57:18 <oren> t540p
23:01:35 <fizzie> I got one of those things with a relatively high-DPI screen (14" 2560x1440) for a work laptop, because I thought it would be nice, but turns out it's kind of annoying to use it with an external monitor, because e.g. terminal windows suitable for one screen get far too small/large on the other.
23:03:05 <oren> I have it with a normal dpi screen
23:03:31 <oren> seems to have a better viewing angle than my old one though
23:03:59 <hppavilion[1]> oren: Windows 10 is OK if you disable all the evil tracking bullshit
23:04:15 <hppavilion[1]> But yes, windows 8 was the most evil thing ever made
23:05:37 <hppavilion[1]> _Was_
23:05:41 <hppavilion[1]> I killed windows 8
23:08:51 -!- APic has joined.
23:10:38 <oren> so now I'm simulatanously using two laptops manufactured 9 years apart
23:13:06 <oren> hmm lets see what my website looks like in IE
23:15:25 <oren> looks like total shit
23:15:49 <oren> IE doesn;t support css web font
23:17:24 <fizzie> It does support it somewhat.
23:18:10 <fizzie> I think I got Embedded OpenType (.eot) to work.
23:18:28 <fizzie> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_OpenType
23:19:18 <fizzie> That's the only supported format for IE 8, as per https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms530757(v=vs.85).aspx -- IE 9 extends it to WOFF and raw TrueType.
23:20:23 <oren> ok well first step, install firefox. then I'll install windows defender and uninstall stupid mcafee
23:21:54 <oren> er, MSE that is
23:22:44 <hppavilion[1]> I want to make a language that looks just like CSS, but is _actually_ a programming language
23:23:45 <oren> hmm, you mean like spread the information of the program into two different files in two different syntaces?
23:25:31 <hppavilion[1]> Yes
23:25:35 <hppavilion[1]> That works too
23:26:16 <hppavilion[1]> I was thinking it'd be /(decla|impe)rative/i hybrid
23:26:28 <oren> mcafee is complaining abaut me uninstalling it. well fuck you you cpu-draining crap
23:26:29 <hppavilion[1]> So definitions are functions
23:26:50 <hppavilion[1]> And attribute assignments are functions
23:27:04 <hppavilion[1]> Hello World would be:
23:27:09 <hppavilion[1]> main {
23:27:17 <hppavilion[1]> print:Hello, World!
23:27:18 <hppavilion[1]> }
23:27:28 <hppavilion[1]> There should be a semicolon there
23:27:44 <oren> don't you mean print:"Hello, World!";
23:27:49 <hppavilion[1]> Yeah
23:27:51 <hppavilion[1]> Whoops
23:27:52 <hppavilion[1]> That
23:27:57 <hppavilion[1]> I haven't done CSS in a while
23:28:26 <hppavilion[1]> I want its /syntax/ to be *exactly* identicle to real CSS, or at least pretty close
23:29:31 <oren> so you want to limit nesting depth to one {}.
23:30:01 <hppavilion[1]> Yes
23:30:11 <hppavilion[1]> That'll make it a problem when trying to TC it
23:30:26 <oren> I guess loops could be like loop: a, f; where f refers to another definition
23:30:34 <hppavilion[1]> Possibly
23:30:40 <oren> and a is an array
23:30:54 <oerjan> b_jonas: erm you're aware that Irregular Webcomic! has restarted? hth
23:33:06 -!- adu has joined.
23:40:57 <oerjan> @tell b_jonas erm are you aware that Irregular Webcomic! has restarted? hth
23:40:57 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
23:45:20 <hppavilion[1]> So
23:45:21 <hppavilion[1]> CSS
23:46:05 <fizzie> oerjan: Basic Instructions just ended with 1181 strips. Although that's counting reruns as double -- that's just the number of lines in the "archive" list.
23:46:29 <fizzie> (1051 after a grep -iv rerun.)
23:46:35 <hppavilion[1]> It looks like we can do array like things with E[foo~="bar" "baz" "etc"]
23:46:45 <hppavilion[1]> s/y l/y-l//
23:46:56 <hppavilion[1]> s/\/\//\//
23:47:03 -!- Frooxius has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds).
23:47:09 <hppavilion[1]> NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
23:47:13 <hppavilion[1]> FROOXIUS
23:47:19 <hppavilion[1]> YOU WERE SO YOUNG!
23:47:49 <fizzie> 8-Bit Theater ended with "Episode 1224".
23:48:28 -!- adu has quit (Quit: adu).
23:48:46 <hppavilion[1]> So in CLS, what should "E:<stuff>" do?
23:48:50 <hppavilion[1]> Well
23:49:05 <hppavilion[1]> First we have to determine what F A P {...} means
23:49:21 <hppavilion[1]> Why the hell did I just do that?
23:52:36 <oren> Now I've set the theme to windows classic and all the fonts to Arial 10
