02:08:36 <boily> cheloppro! you survived! did you make outrageous hands?
02:08:47 <\oren\> well it isn't the most common meaning
02:08:54 <\oren\> so I fixed it
02:10:37 <tswett> I'm trying to think of Magic cards that would just break the game by confusing the rules.
02:10:46 <\oren\> btw "nelson" is the author of "The Japanese-English Character Dictionary"
02:10:47 <coppro> boily: no, best was a haneman. but I was reffing, not playing
02:10:49 <tswett> This one seems to be pretty good:
02:10:56 <boily> \oren\: could you add 露 twh
02:11:10 <coppro> including casual play, there was one yakuman on saturday and five (!) on sunday, including two kokushi by the same person (!?!?!?!?!)
02:11:13 <boily> coppro: Ō_Ō!
02:11:29 <tswett> "Target word on target face-up card becomes target other word on that card."
02:11:44 <boily> 本当?嘘だ!
02:12:17 <tswett> See that sorcery on the stack which happens to contain the word "land" in its text box? Well, that sorcery is now a land.
02:13:14 <\oren\> do lands even go on the stack?
02:13:16 <boily> \oren\: also, please add 漫 twah
02:13:38 <\oren\> boily: I'll put them on the list
02:13:47 <tswett> No, normally a land cannot be on the stack.
02:14:38 <boily> \oren\: do you have a large kanji backlog?
02:14:39 <\oren\> Also, when I used to play in middle school the stack was literally a stack
02:15:10 <tswett> The rules don't say what happens when a land resolves. They say what happens when an instant spell, sorcery spell, or ability resolves, as well as what happens when a permanent spell resolves.
02:15:19 <\oren\> boily: not really
02:15:45 <\oren\> I'm about to realase another revisio though
02:16:54 <tswett> Now, under the current rules, whenever something resolves, it must leave the stack somehow, and if it's a card, it goes to the graveyard if it doesn't go somewhere else for some reason.
02:17:25 <tswett> So I think we could reasonably conclude that if a land on the stack were to resolve, it would just go directly to the graveyard.
02:17:29 * boily plans to use \oren\'s font for strategic sections of the PDF
02:17:57 <boily> there should be more pictures in the PDF. the fizziecoin is nice, but it's a little bit lonely imeo.
02:18:40 <coppro> boily: the best was the baiman that got ruined by atamahane though
02:18:51 <tswett> But wait, that's not right.
02:19:01 <tswett> The rules state: "A spell is a card on the stack."
02:19:12 <tswett> So if a land is on the stack, that land is a spell.
02:19:29 <tswett> So is it a permanent spell or not?
02:19:53 <tswett> On the one hand, the rules give a listing of the types that a permanent spell can be, and "land" isn't one of those.
02:19:54 <boily> coppro: ow.
02:20:00 <coppro> tswett: lands are not allowed on the stack
02:20:21 <coppro> the rules do not specify what happens if a land is on the stack for the simple reason that it is not possible
02:20:22 <tswett> coppro: is there a state-based action that happens when a land is on the stack?
02:21:40 <tswett> On the other hand, this land spell would be a spell that's a permanent card. So I think I'd rule that actually, a land on the stack is a permanent spell.
02:21:56 <boily> time for some horizontality. 'night all!
02:22:02 -!- boily has quit (Quit: HYPOCHLORIC CHICKEN).
02:22:05 <tswett> N'ight.
02:22:31 <coppro> night
02:23:03 <coppro> tswett: it's like how there's no rule about an instant or sorcery on the battlefield
02:23:40 <tswett> Well, the rules say that if a permanent loses all of its permanent types, it remains on the battlefield as a permanent.
02:24:16 <tswett> The rules also say what happens if you're supposed to turn a permanent face up, but it wouldn't be a permanent if it were face up.
02:24:37 <coppro> right
02:24:47 <coppro> both those situations could exist
02:25:17 <coppro> there is no state-based action moving an instant or sorcery on the battlefield to its owner's graveryard, though, because that situation is impossible
02:25:20 <coppro> it's like a land on the stack
02:25:47 <coppro> the CR are designed to handle Magic as the game that actually is played
02:25:55 <coppro> (although there are corner cases where they have issues)
02:26:22 <\oren\> http://www.orenwatson.be/fontdemo.htm updated
02:26:32 <tswett> All right. But let's consider what would happen if we wanted to follow the comprehensive rules as closely as possible, while playing with "hack cards" such as this one.
02:26:38 <tswett> Think like a Nomicker!
02:27:52 <coppro> tswett: then the people inventing such cards should specify what happens
02:27:59 <tswett> My revised opinion is that if a land were to be on the stack and then resolve, it would be put on the battlefield.
02:28:04 <tswett> coppro: I guess I'd better start specifying, then.
02:40:47 -!- Wright has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds).
02:41:24 <tswett> You could make an odd sort of Magic nomic with that hack card.
02:41:53 <tswett> Two changes.
02:45:43 <tswett> First, add in the following card: "Greater Magical Hack. 6UU. Sorcery. Name a card, and choose two individual words on that card. The first word permanently becomes the second word on all instances of that card."
02:47:00 <tswett> Second, each player has an emblem that says the following: "You cannot win or lose. If you would draw a card, but every player's library is empty, then each player shuffles his or her graveyard into his or her library, then you draw a card."
02:47:32 <shachaf> Are Magic: The Gathering cards ever ambiguous in a way that's resolved by rulings?
02:47:40 <coppro> yes
02:47:44 <tswett> Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
02:47:49 <tswett> Anyone got an example?
02:47:52 <shachaf> That's a bit scow.
02:48:09 <coppro> the previous rules manager was of the opinion that all situations should have a resolution derived directly from the rules, but this is no longer in the philosophy of the rules design
02:48:15 <shachaf> Do they later change the rules to resolve the ambiguity?
02:48:16 <shachaf> Ah.
02:48:17 <coppro> so in certain edge cases the ruling stands alone
02:48:22 <tswett> `? scow
02:48:23 <HackEgo> scow? ¯\(°​_o)/¯
02:48:45 <coppro> there is no rule that enables Oblivion Ring and similar cards to actually work
02:48:58 <coppro> they operate only by fiat
02:52:56 <tswett> I guess whoever does the first Greater Magical Hack could trivially make the game unwinnable by naming Greater Magical Hack and then changing, say, "becomes" to "admires".
02:53:28 <tswett> Wait, no, because "admires" isn't on that card.
02:54:51 <tswett> You could just modify it so it doesn't make any sense: "The first word permanently and the second word on all instances of that card."
02:54:55 <coppro> change "first" to "second"
02:55:07 <tswett> Yup, that'll do it.
02:56:19 <tswett> Come to think of it, I don't think this version of GMH is open-ended.
02:56:33 <tswett> No, sure it is.
02:57:41 <tswett> You can use GMH to alter other cards in such a way that they too become hacking cards. I guess.
02:58:40 <zzo38> That "Greater Magical Hack" is not mathematically correct, I think
02:59:26 <zzo38> Also, I would think a land on the stack would go into play if it resolves; however, the rules do not explicitly say
03:00:32 <tswett> Ooh, here we go.
03:00:37 <tswett> Swirl the Mists says:
03:00:46 <tswett> "As Swirl the Mists enters the battlefield, choose a color word. All instances of color words in the text of spells and permanents are changed to the chosen color word."
03:01:05 <tswett> You could use GMH to turn "choose a color word" into "choose a text word".
03:01:20 <tswett> Presumably pretty much all words count as "text words".
03:02:23 <zzo38> No, it means nothing.
03:02:44 <Sgeo> Colorful pictures are text, what a language
03:02:59 <zzo38> There is no "text words" meaning anything; the answer is not yes and no!
03:02:59 <Sgeo> I wonder if MtG symbols will ever make it into Unicode
03:03:38 <zzo38> Probably not, but that's OK you don't have to use Unicode, or even if you do you can use the private use area.
03:04:03 <zzo38> I would want METAFONT programs to make the MtG symbols
03:04:15 <tswett> I think most MtG symbols already have Unicode characters you could use for them.
03:04:38 -!- Wright has joined.
03:05:16 <zzo38> If you want to make substitute, then yes probably you can.
03:06:03 <tswett> The white mana symbol is U+2600 BLACK SUN WITH RAYS, the blue mana symbol is U+1F4A7 DROPLET...
03:08:02 <tswett> I don't see a Unicode character that's just a skull, but there's a skull and crossbones. There are at least two tree symbols, but I don't know if either one is appropriate.
03:09:06 <shachaf> At one point I found substitutes for each MTG symbol.
03:09:17 <shachaf> At least, ones that rendered well in Google Hangouts.
03:15:17 <tswett> That emblem I came up with gave me a stupid idea.
03:19:20 -!- Melvar has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds).
03:19:48 -!- Melvar has joined.
03:22:19 <tswett> Variant: Nobody can win and nobody can lose except via the following mechanism. Once 30 spells named Runeclaw Bear controlled by a player have resolved, that player wins.
03:23:55 -!- zadock has joined.
03:24:24 <tswett> Actually, make that Omega Myr instead of Runeclaw Bear.
03:33:46 <Sgeo> Google didn't index the logs with "transconic" yet
03:36:02 <zzo38> I have once had the idea of the card it is a creature card but when it comes into play it becomes an instant in addition to its other types. It was also given phasing, which in the rules current at the time that was made would cause it to remain phased out forever but in the next version it can phase in normally.
03:48:15 -!- Wright has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds).
03:58:39 <zzo38> Let's see other kind of Magic: the Gathering card to make up
03:59:30 <zzo38> Banding ;; {3}: ~ comes into play with a +1/+1 counter on it. Use this ability only during your upkeep and only if ~ is in your graveyard with exactly 1 card above it.
04:00:06 <shachaf> The graveyard shouldn't be an ordered zone.
04:00:09 <shachaf> That's scow to keep track of.
04:01:53 <zzo38> I like it to be, though. (Some other cards already do anyways, and I have also made some other cards that do)
04:08:49 <tswett> In otherwords, that would be "Put ~ from your graveyard onto the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it"?
04:12:12 <zzo38> Yes
04:16:32 <zzo38> Panglacial Wurm can be cast while searching your library, which mean you can activate mana abilities during that time; I want to see what kind of stuff can therefore be done with this.
04:20:51 <\oren\> shachaf: how it it hard to keep track of, if you have physical cards?
04:21:11 <shachaf> It means you can't reorder them.
04:21:24 <\oren\> why would you want to?
04:21:34 <shachaf> You often look through the graveyard and so on.
04:22:04 <shachaf> Some cards can be used from the graveyard and most can't. So you might want to move those to the top.
04:22:38 <zzo38> You should make all card with effect in the graveyard (unless the effect works only if it is on top) to be placed in the pile to stick out a bit so that you can find them. It is important if there is a triggered ability on one of them, regardless of whether or not the order matters.
04:36:11 <doesthiswork> did you know Patrick Stein invented negative length lists?
04:36:53 <zzo38> Madness ability can have some uses even in the case that you are unable to pay the madness cost.
04:37:03 <zzo38> doesthiswork: No. How does this work?
04:37:47 <doesthiswork> http://nklein.com/2012/02/the-anti-cons/
04:38:16 <doesthiswork> each thing you cons onto the list removes one anti-cons from it
04:38:42 <shachaf> Sounds like a free group?
04:39:01 <shachaf> I guess you would have to cons the same thing that you anti-cons to get that.
04:44:53 -!- nisstyre has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds).
04:49:30 <doesthiswork> that would make it less polymorphic and less useful if it was a free group
04:50:23 <doesthiswork> although maybe could retain the usefulness by having anti-cons return a value that later resolves into the consed value
04:50:38 <shachaf> Less polymorphic why?
04:50:57 <shachaf> I guess in their version there's only one anti-cons, rather than being able to anti-cons anything onto the list?
04:51:00 <shachaf> That's pretty strange.
04:55:50 <doesthiswork> because instead of being able to dissolve any value consed onto the list, a matching anti-cons would only be able to dissolve a single value.
04:58:52 <shachaf> Yes, like a free group.
04:59:03 <shachaf> It seems that anti-cons should obviously be symmetric with cons.
05:07:29 <doesthiswork> but is also tempting to combine it with 'pop'
05:13:52 -!- nisstyre has joined.
05:22:01 <zzo38> I think there are cases in Magic: the Gathering where a mana ability will end up not producing any mana, and which can still be used during a mana step or if a spell with split-second is on the stack.
05:22:55 <shachaf> I don't like the way "mana ability" is defined.
05:22:57 <shachaf> It's too vague.
05:25:49 <zzo38> It is a bit vague, which is why I wanted a mathematical definition of the game as a literate computer program.
05:26:47 <shachaf> Is Reflecting Pool's ability a mana ability if you control no other lands?
05:27:04 <shachaf> I think the answer was yes, because it "could" produce mana in some sense. But I don't like that sense much.
05:28:45 <shachaf> Wait, I'm mixing up two different objections I have now, I think.
05:28:51 <zzo38> Yes, rule 605.2 means that, it seems, or at least is supposed to
05:29:30 <shachaf> Ah, right.
05:31:14 <zzo38> Still it might be useful for a computer code to support properties such as :activated-mana-ability and :triggered-mana-ability, or to use macros to implement it (or both).
05:41:10 -!- scoofy has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
06:01:53 <zzo38> Is there a "Dead Reckoning Magic: the Puzzling"? Unlike chess, Magic: the Gathering has incomplete information (past, present, and future), so may be more difficult to define. But, other kind of retro puzzles can be possible to do
06:05:57 -!- doesthiswork has quit (Quit: Leaving.).
06:07:54 <shachaf> zzo38: I saw an unusual Chess: The Puzzling the other day.

06:09:35 -!- bender has joined.
06:10:23 <zzo38> I have seen that one; it is based on old rules. Knowing how the old rules differ from the current rules, I can easily figure it out.
06:10:47 <shachaf> Yes.
06:12:38 <shachaf> Do you know any good Haskell: The Puzzlings?
06:12:53 <zzo38> I don't know how to play "Haskell: The Puzzling"
06:13:15 <zzo38> But also one idea would be a Magic: the Puzzling where the solution is almost completely different in one version of the rules than with a different version (preferably the immediately previous version, if possible)
06:13:53 <shachaf> I don't know how to play Magic: The Puzzling either.
06:14:03 <shachaf> I think you need a book for that, and I don't have the book.
06:16:35 <zzo38> You do not necessarily need a book; you can also find some on computer.
06:20:13 <zzo38> Are there positions in Magic: the Gathering for which it is impossible to decide whether or not they are legal?
06:22:32 <myname> what is a "position"? and isn't the only way to be impossible to decide for it to need infinitely long to get there?
06:22:50 -!- ^v has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
06:24:01 <pikhq> zzo38: I suspect not. To my knowledge the set of game states in Magic is countable, as well as the set of legal actions from any given game state.
06:24:14 <pikhq> (and, additionally, the set of *initial* game states is countable)
06:24:23 <shachaf> "countable" isn't enough.
06:24:40 <shachaf> Presumably there are "garden of eden" positions?
06:25:41 <pikhq> Ah, right, the set of game actions from a given game state need be not just countable, but demonstrably knowable.
06:26:02 <pikhq> Which I *think* is the case, but is... not something I'd just boldly assert.
06:26:23 <shachaf> I'm not sure why actions are directly relevant here. The question is whether a position is legal in the first place.
06:26:30 <zzo38> I don't know if there is something really strange that causes it not to be knowable.
06:26:40 <shachaf> pikhq: A certain individual is quite sauzzled right now.
06:26:54 <shachaf> I'm getting a lot of messages.
06:26:56 <pikhq> A position is legal if you reached it via a legal action from another legal position.
06:27:06 <shachaf> Oh, is that what it means?
06:27:24 <shachaf> OK.
06:27:50 <pikhq> Near as I can tell -- I don't recall game states *themselves* having any formal legality in Magic, but the actions themselves do.
06:28:02 <pikhq> i.e. the rules govern the state transitions, not really the state.
06:28:45 <coppro> correct
06:29:02 <quintopia> mtg is pretty popular. i'm still astounded.
06:29:18 <shachaf> Should I play the new set?
06:29:22 <shachaf> BFZ
06:29:33 <shachaf> There may be a jam brewing.
06:29:41 <quintopia> Borel-Frankel-Zermelo
06:30:02 <quintopia> or probably Bernays
06:30:43 <shachaf> béarnaise
06:32:08 <myname> doesn't each turing complete system has its own halting problem?
06:32:14 <zzo38> Is it possible to construct a position that you can win if and only if the number of counters added to some particular object is a prime number?
06:32:28 <quintopia> myname: you mean even if you add halting oracles?
06:32:33 <pikhq> Hmm. I'm not sure.
06:33:02 <pikhq> zzo38: I assume you mean "without creating a new card for exactly that purpose" of course.
06:33:15 <quintopia> zzo38: you mean if and only if it is any prime number?
06:33:16 <pikhq> (it's otherwise an uninteresting question. :))
06:33:26 <myname> quintopia: that too, but if mtg is turing complete, shouldn't it have a halting problem.and therefore an undecidavle state?
06:33:46 <quintopia> of course it does
06:34:03 <zzo38> Yes, if any prime number
06:34:14 <myname> so there is such a state
06:34:25 <pikhq> myname: Only in terms of whether or not the execution of that state halts.
06:34:31 <zzo38> And I mean using existing non-Un cards and standard rules that are at least as recent as the most recent card used
06:34:50 <quintopia> mtg is tc because someone has devised a utm for it. one could construct a game state such that that utm is running a tm which it is impossible to decide whether it halts
06:34:51 <pikhq> The legality of said state is a fairly different question than whether or not said state halts.
06:35:50 <pikhq> (legality is a question of how the state was reached, not what can be reached from the state)
06:36:23 <quintopia> ah i just now saw zzo's question
06:36:37 <myname> how so? assume you get a state that decides wether it halts or not, how do you proove it's legal?
06:37:03 <coppro> there is no such state
06:37:27 <quintopia> my guess would be "yes", on account of the halting problem when one runs the game in reverse. (assuming that mtg is also tc in reverse.)
06:37:51 <pikhq> myname: Whether or not the state can be reached from some other legal state is what you need to prove. I'm not sure if this is actually possible for all arbitrary states.
06:38:21 <pikhq> But it is certainly a very different question than whether or not a state halts.
06:38:51 <myname> couldn't you declare the state you are innas halting?
06:39:21 <pikhq> myname: Then the question is "does there exist a TM that halts", not "does this TM halt".
06:39:44 <pikhq> I think.
06:40:03 <myname> no. assume a state that decides wether or not you can reach this exact state
06:41:13 <quintopia> pikhq: let's suppose that one can construct an NTM based on running the rules of mtg in reverse. like if a card says "play this card in blah situation" instead, you can take it into your hand in that situation. if this is tc, then the legality question has an undecidable state.
06:41:15 <pikhq> Okay, let's go with "does there exist an input tape such that this TM halts", which... is a rephrasing of the halting problem.
06:42:11 <pikhq> Hum, yes, there must exist some state wherein it is not decidable if it is reachable.
06:42:14 <newsham> the original was "does this TM halt for all inputs", no?
06:42:28 <pikhq> Ah, so it was.
06:42:43 <pikhq> "For some input" might actually be decidable? I doubt it though
06:42:49 <coppro> no
06:42:55 <shachaf> Nothing is decidable.
06:43:02 <pikhq> Ah, no, it's proven that the more specific statement is definitely not decidable.
06:43:09 <myname> which is a superset of "does this tm.halts for a given input"
06:43:14 <newsham> lots of trivial tings are decidable.. just the nontrivial stuff is all undecidable :)
06:44:07 <pikhq> For instance, it's entirely decidable to determine if a given C program in a given C environment halts.
06:44:17 <pikhq> Not very practical, but definitely decidable.
06:44:24 <myname> how so?
06:44:36 <quintopia> C is LBA
06:44:41 <myname> ah
06:46:06 <newsham> pikhq: it is?
06:46:09 -!- hppavilion[1] has joined.
06:46:10 <coppro> pikhq: let M be "given M', decide if M' halts on some input." Define N to be "Given N', let N'' be 'Run each possible input on N' in parallel and halt if any of them do' and then run M on N''". Then N decides the HP.
06:46:20 <coppro> newsham: yes, bounded memory
06:46:38 <pikhq> Yep. C defines a system with a large but very definitely bounded state.
06:46:44 <shachaf> Depends on whether you allow certain file I/O.
06:46:45 <newsham> oh, FSM
06:46:57 <pikhq> It doesn't strictly define what those bounds may be, but does define that those bounds exist.
06:47:12 <myname> the fuck
06:47:19 <pikhq> shachaf: You can only really get past it with sockets.
06:47:30 <shachaf> You can do relative seeks in files.
06:47:32 <pikhq> Without sockets, well, the filesystem is *also* bounded.
06:47:39 <shachaf> whoa whoa whoa
06:47:46 <shachaf> I don't think the C spec defines anything about that.
06:47:54 <coppro> newsham: no, it's far stronger than a FSM
06:47:54 <shachaf> The file API can go to all sorts of things.
06:48:02 <coppro> shachaf: finite filename length, finite file length
06:48:04 <pikhq> Fuck non-POSIX C.
06:48:09 <newsham> coppro: how so?
06:48:11 <shachaf> coppro: Finite file length?
06:48:26 <newsham> coppro: your entire system can be encoded into a large FSM
06:48:42 <coppro> newsham: oh, misread as DFA, sorry
06:48:53 <pikhq> However, ISO C does still require bounded file length: fgetpos and fsetpos are ISO C.
06:48:59 <coppro> ^
06:49:07 <newsham> DFA is just as powerful as an non-dterministic FSM
06:49:17 <pikhq> Which means any given file position must fit within memory.
06:49:23 <pikhq> And is thus bounded.
06:49:40 <newsham> pikhq: what is fgetpos on stdin?
06:49:41 <coppro> likewise for file names, they must fit into memory
06:49:54 <pikhq> newsham: EBADF.
06:50:36 <pikhq> Well okay, there's three unbounded things in C: stdin, stdout, and stderr.
06:50:44 <shachaf> At least POSIX allows it to fail because it doesn't fit in an fpos_t?
06:50:56 <newsham> at any rate, you're not going to compute halting property of a real C program on a real machine
06:51:02 <pikhq> shachaf: But POSIX requires it to fit in an off_t. :)
06:51:09 <shachaf> I don't think so.
06:51:09 <newsham> and there are probably some ultrafinitists that would put up fists over that assertion ;-)
06:51:11 <pikhq> If it doesn't fit in an off_t *the open fails*.
06:51:36 <shachaf> I think I looked it up once and POSIX C allows it to be too big.
06:51:43 <\oren\> all programs will eventually halt when the computer running them is sucked into a black hole
06:52:08 <shachaf> I don't remember the details.
06:52:14 <shachaf> Maybe http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/ftell.html
06:52:18 <pikhq> newsham: Well, sure you can. Run two parallel simulations. Run one of them at twice the speed of the other. If the two states ever equal each other, it doesn't halt. If it halts, it halts.
06:52:21 <shachaf> EOVERFLOW
06:53:03 <newsham> pikhq: that is not a terminating program that answers the halting problem :)
06:53:20 <pikhq> newsham: As the number of states is bounded, it will always terminate.
06:53:24 <coppro> pikhq: that could fail if the repeatition has even period
06:53:31 <\oren\> printf("it will halt");
06:53:43 <coppro> *repetition
06:53:47 <\oren\> that solves it because all real programs halt
06:54:01 <coppro> pikhq: count the size of the state space, run that many steps
06:54:07 <coppro> if you're not done, return "doesn't halt"
06:54:19 <\oren\> coppro: that also works
06:54:21 <coppro> the busy beaver trick
06:54:36 <pikhq> coppro: That'll work, too.
06:56:02 <newsham> ah
06:56:29 <\oren\> hmm there should be a variant of BF where all programs begin with a header giving the number of cells and the bounds of each cell
06:57:14 <\oren\> thus making it subturing
06:57:56 <\oren\> is there a programming language that guarantees that all programs halt?
06:58:10 <pikhq> Add in something to specify the IO rules and you'll have come up with a practical means of accepting all BF programs with only trivial modifications. :)

15:29:23 <tswett> Given five distinct points on the plane, is there always exactly one conic section which passes through all of them?
15:30:21 <tswett> Hmm, the answer is no if they're collinear.
15:30:33 <tswett> All right, five distinct noncollinear points.

15:34:12 <ais523> tswett: a line is also a conic section
15:34:24 <ais523> you cut the cone along a tangent to one of the sloping sides
15:34:30 <ais523> (it's not normally thought of as one, but it is)
15:34:39 <tswett> Yeah, but there are multiple conic sections passing through five collinear points.

15:56:22 -!- scoofy has joined.
15:57:04 <ais523> actually, I think you can find an ellipse and parabola that intersect in five points
15:57:24 <ais523> that aren't coanything (although would have a line of symmetry)
16:03:45 -!- doesthiswork has joined.
16:05:44 <b_jonas> ais523: no you can't.
16:08:04 <b_jonas> For five points in the (real or complex Euclidean) plane, no two coinciding and no four collinear, there's exactly one conic section incident on all five; if also no three of the points are collinear, then that conic section is not degenerate (not two lines, but a hyperbola or parabola or ellipse, counting a circle as an ellipse).
16:09:17 <ais523> aha, ofc if you have four colinear (and the fifth not on the line)
16:09:40 <ais523> you could take an arbitrary line through the fifth
16:09:47 <b_jonas> ais523: yes.
16:10:03 <b_jonas> and note that any line intersects a non-degenerate conic in at most two points.
16:11:43 -!- scoofy has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
16:12:16 <b_jonas> The situation is much more difficult if you're looking for conics incident on four points and touching a line, in which case in the generic case (and I won't tell what that means now) there can be exactly zero or exactly two conics matching them, but I don't know a book or article that explicitly claims this;
16:13:06 <b_jonas> so I should try to ask a three-parter question on MathOverflow asking for a reference about (a) one line and four points, general case, (b) one line and four points, all cases, (c) two lines and three points, in which case I don't even know what's the answer I expect.
16:13:21 <b_jonas> I might have to make it two separate questions, I'll have to think it over.
16:13:45 <b_jonas> However, the Hajós book does explain the five point in a plane case completely.

17:33:31 <b_jonas> \oren\: what did I do wrong? it doesn't show up again
17:33:38 <\oren\> reload a few time
17:33:54 <\oren\> I think AWS is caching the .css again
17:34:09 <b_jonas> \oren\: I think it's that otf conversion thing again, because I don't even see the old font
17:34:12 <b_jonas> I see only some fallback font
17:34:15 <b_jonas> I dunno
17:34:32 <b_jonas> \oren\: the image version also seems to be very old
17:34:55 <\oren\> can you look at the javascript console for any css errors
17:35:09 <b_jonas> \oren\: even if it caches, when I shift-reload, the browser is sending those http header thingies that tell the cache to refresh it.
17:35:23 <b_jonas> or at least it's supposed to
17:35:56 <b_jonas> \oren\: it says "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)"
17:36:26 <b_jonas> \oren\: and it says neolettersK.otf gives the 403
17:36:27 <\oren\> oh
17:36:32 <\oren\> fuck hold on
17:37:14 * \oren\ chmod +r /var/www/html/*
17:37:22 <\oren\> there now it should work
17:37:47 <b_jonas> oh! can I load your secret passwords file too then?
17:37:53 <b_jonas> also, the font loads now
17:38:11 <b_jonas> the image version is still wrong
17:38:20 <\oren\> nah I don't keep passwords in the www directory
17:38:43 <b_jonas> \oren\: the first two lines show up wrong though, probably because the browser is making the lines bigger because of the underlines
17:38:52 <b_jonas> \oren\: could you perhaps change the CSS to remove the underlines from the links?
17:39:05 <b_jonas> you don't want underlines to this font anyway
17:39:36 <\oren\> how do I do that?
17:39:52 <\oren\> a {underline:none?}
17:39:59 <b_jonas> \oren\: no,
17:40:14 <b_jonas> I think it's :link, :visited { what you said above }
17:41:14 <b_jonas> http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html#link-pseudo-classes
17:41:31 <b_jonas> and I don't think it's underline:none either
17:41:40 <b_jonas> it's text-decoration: none
17:42:52 <\oren\> k, done
17:42:55 <b_jonas> \oren\: :link, :visited { text-decoration: none } /* I hope */
17:43:07 <b_jonas> um, with a semicolon after none for good measure
17:43:23 <b_jonas> \oren\: hmm, it still doesn't look good
17:43:26 <b_jonas> dunno why though
17:43:33 <b_jonas> hmm wait
17:43:48 <b_jonas> yes, definitely doesn't look good
17:44:04 <b_jonas> stupid browser
17:44:40 <\oren\> i updated the image so you can see how it looks on my compy
17:44:48 <b_jonas> \oren\: anyway, now you have 〇 twice in the sample
17:44:57 <b_jonas> in the CJK punctuation and in the hanzi group
17:45:38 <b_jonas> \oren\: I think at this point it's probably a browser stupidity, but removing the underline is probably a good idea anyway if you want to leave that text in your font
17:45:53 <\oren\> 〇ops.
17:46:28 <b_jonas> I see you've added more kanji/hanzi
17:47:16 <\oren\> yeah
17:47:41 <b_jonas> hmm, there seems to be something wrong though
17:47:48 <b_jonas> there's a character that's not in your font, but in the sample
17:48:07 <b_jonas>
17:48:21 <b_jonas> or at least that's how it shows up in my browser
17:48:34 <b_jonas> can you check on that? it's in the last line of hanzi in the samples
17:48:44 <\oren\> Oh, yeah your right
17:50:37 <\oren\> Oh. I put the glyph on the wrong charater

18:10:14 <b_jonas> boily: um, how are you chosing these particular characters?
18:11:15 <boily> strokeful characters :D
18:11:37 <b_jonas> ah
18:11:46 <b_jonas> so you are just choosing characters that are hard to draw?
18:12:11 <boily> mainly kanji versions of common words that are usually written in kana.
18:12:29 <boily> (and yes, perverse admiration for high stroke counts.)
18:12:53 <b_jonas> shouldn't the font contain kanji that are actually commonl?
18:13:10 <\oren\> well, whatever
18:13:26 <b_jonas> \oren\: did you add any of the mirrored or vertical alternate glyphs for the variable characters?
18:15:37 <\oren\> b_jonas: At some point I'll figure out how to do alternate glyphs, either that or just make a script that produces a rotated version the font.
18:16:29 <b_jonas> \oren\: um, just rotating isn't enough, you may have to shift when you rotate or mirror, and you as a font designer have to decide the shift amount that looks good
18:16:39 <b_jonas> you might even want to change more pixels when you rotate

22:37:12 <fizzie> Phantom_Hoover: It might be missing something, though; I think there was a bit of troubleshooting involved, the last time someone tried to run it.
22:42:04 <fizzie> boily: It's nothing in particular in Python (except for the decorator syntax), but from 3.5 onwards you can overload it as an infix binary operator.
22:42:49 <Phantom_Hoover> so it's just a spare operator, basically?
22:43:23 <fizzie> Yes. The motivation chapter says it's specifically meant so that you can have * and @ for elementwise and matrix multiplications.
22:43:56 <fizzie> That's why the magic method names for overloading @ (and @=) are __matmul__, __rmatmul__, __imatmul__.
22:45:40 <Phantom_Hoover> well that's a bit silly
22:46:46 <fizzie> I think they're courting all those numerical programming folks.
22:47:29 <Phantom_Hoover> oh right, it is actually defined as matrix multiplication
22:48:21 <izabera> fizzie: can you add the fi legature in zem.fi ?
22:48:22 <Phantom_Hoover> i thought you meant it was undefined in the stdlib but they'd made it possible to define it
22:49:19 <fizzie> Phantom_Hoover: That's what I mean.
22:49:41 <fizzie> Phantom_Hoover: "But isn't it weird to add an operator with no stdlib uses?" "It's certainly unusual --" http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0465/
22:49:42 <Phantom_Hoover> well that's a bit silly
22:50:18 <fizzie> They do define "recommended semantics" for anyone using it.
22:54:42 <fizzie> "The swirly shape is reminiscent of the simultaneous sweeps over rows and columns that define matrix multiplication"
22:54:45 <FireFly> izabera: ligature characters in domain names is probably a bad idea
22:54:53 <izabera> it's not in the name
22:55:04 <izabera> that text is in the banner
22:55:09 <FireFly> ah
22:56:15 <FireFly> fizzie: that is very colourful
22:57:08 <fizzie> Re domain names, at least Chrome goes to zem.fi if I type in zem.fi -- but I'm not sure what I was supposed to add and where.

23:11:11 <FireFly> Perhaps to have the "zem.fi" heading use a hardcoded ligature character
23:12:37 <fizzie> I don't really want to do *that*. I should update the related CSS stylings, though; it's using the nonstandard -webkit-font-feature-settings while apparently there's nowadays a simpler "font-variant-ligatures" too.
23:13:26 <fizzie> Although I couldn't get the 'fi' ligature to show up even after twiddling those; but it's supposed to exist in the font, it's the same font I used for the image.
23:19:43 <fizzie> It renders right for me in the word "fit" at http://www.georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/design.html -- not sure what's up with that.
23:32:08 <fizzie> Must be something related to pulling it from Google's WebFonts thingie; the other site hosts it locally.
