00:24:43 <shachaf> Koen_: Can it store a number in constant time?
00:24:50 <Koen_> sure
00:25:01 <oerjan> there are some numbers that people would be highly interested in knowing whether they are rational.
00:25:13 <oerjan> e.g. e*pi

00:27:06 <Koen_> yeah
00:27:17 <Koen_> I've been at some unease towards real numbers for a very long time
00:27:30 <oerjan> Koen_: yes, neither e*pi nor e+pi are known.
00:27:40 <oerjan> although they cannot both be rational
00:27:48 <Koen_> e+pi isn't known??
00:27:58 <Koen_> there are some obvious gaps in our maths
00:28:19 <`izabera`> turns out it's hard to prove it
00:29:50 <oerjan> well, known whether rational or algebraic
00:29:50 <Koen_> how come I have never heard about that before? I have had math teachers!!
00:30:01 <oerjan> obviously you can calculate just about as many digits as you like.
00:30:43 <Koen_> "The best-known transcendental numbers are π and e." (wikipedia)
00:30:49 <Koen_> well apparently we don't know a lot
00:31:06 <oerjan> of course the expected result is that every combination of e and pi that doesn't have an obvious reason to be algebraic, is transcendental.

00:38:48 <fizzie> "Any non-constant algebraic function of a single variable yields a transcendental value when applied to a transcendental argument. For example, from knowing that π is transcendental, we can immediately deduce that numbers such as 5π, (π − 3)/√2, (√π − √3)8 and (π5 + 7)1/7 are transcendental as well."

01:47:08 <dnm> Anyone have any favorite non-esoteric (but probably still pretty much esoteric by modern standards) macro languages?

01:47:57 <dnm> I'm currently tinkering with TRAC, SAM76, TINT (which is a sort of TRAC clone/expansion), ML/I, and SNOBOL4 (not a macro language, I know).
01:49:08 <dnm> Really TRAC, SAM76, Tint, and TTM are all kinda similar, especially the first three.

02:02:41 <shachaf> I'm falling asleep again.
02:02:46 <shachaf> Bad schedule lately.
02:05:23 <fizzie> Our TTS reads "WA" in Finnish text by using the generic word pronunciation generator. I don't think that's right, but I'm not sure what *would* be.
02:06:08 <fizzie> Oh, something I learned only very recently.
02:07:01 <fizzie> If you ask Translate to read something out loud with the speaker icon, it reads first with the normal speed, but if you click on the speaker icon a second time, it does a really slowed-down thing.
02:08:02 <fizzie> I assume the idea is, if you (or whoever you're playing the result out) didn't catch it the first time, maybe trying to speak... very... slowly... will help.
02:09:41 <oerjan> i've noticed that, it seems to toggle on each click
02:09:47 <fizzie> Yes.
02:10:00 <fizzie> Although it resets to normal speed if you change the text.

10:03:25 <izabera> that's the time complexity of regex matching
10:03:53 <mroman> O(n{1-5})
10:04:02 <mroman> it's at least one n, but it might be up to five ns
10:04:06 <izabera> it's {1,5}
10:04:09 <mroman> damn
10:04:14 <mroman> I'm not a regex guy

10:05:35 <mroman> I like more powerful regex systems
10:06:07 <shachaf> I like regex systems with intersection and complement.

10:07:45 <mroman> Regex is almost a fetish .
10:07:47 <shachaf> no such regex hth
10:08:17 <izabera> shachaf: not the math kind of regex
10:08:34 <shachaf> Oh, the Perl kind where you can execute arbitrary Perl code?
10:08:58 <izabera> no but you can use backrefs and (?! and (?<! etc
10:09:51 <izabera> the words i was looking for are negative lookahead and lookbehind
10:09:54 <mroman> no that's cheating @arbitrary perl code

10:17:10 <HackEgo> infinitive//Infinitives are atomic verbs. They were first split in the 1940s, and the world hasn't looked back since.
10:17:21 <fizzie> Look-ahead assertions can be arbitrary, but look-behinds are fixed-width only.
10:17:37 <izabera> isn't that more of a bug? <.<
10:18:39 <mroman> can you capturae a lookbehind?
10:18:42 <fizzie> It's a feature of PCRE as well.
10:19:05 <fizzie> I don't think you can capture any of the assertions, since they're not part of the match, but not sure.
10:19:06 <izabera> there's nothing to capture in a /negative/ lookbehind
10:19:08 <fizzie> Certainly not a negative one.
10:19:29 <izabera> if you want a "positive" lookbehind just use (a)b
10:19:42 <fizzie> Then it'd be part of the matched string, though.
10:20:10 <fizzie> (a)\Kb might work.

10:22:29 <HackEgo> foo
10:22:35 <fizzie> Guess you can capture in a positive one.

10:24:12 <izabera> fine
10:24:32 <fizzie> Possibly much more relevant in a s///.
10:25:11 <fizzie> The perldoc gives s/(foo)bar/$1/g as an example that can be rewritten as "the much more efficient" s/foo\Kbar//g.
10:26:06 <izabera> why is that more efficient?
10:26:18 <fizzie> "For various reasons", to quote the doc.
10:26:31 -!- Koen_ has joined.
10:26:31 <izabera> i can't think of any
10:26:34 <fizzie> "For various reasons "\K" may be significantly more efficient than the equivalent "(?<=...)" construct, --"
10:26:57 <izabera> but you didn't use (?<= <.<
10:27:25 <fizzie> Oh. Well, that's true.
10:27:33 <fizzie> Maybe capturing is expensive.
10:28:03 <fizzie> They don't elaborate -- presumably it's obvious to people privy to the implementation internals.
10:28:35 <fizzie> "The use of "\K" inside of another look-around assertion is allowed, but the behaviour is currently not well defined."
10:28:36 <izabera> i don't really know how perl is implemented but there's no performance difference with regexec
10:30:31 <fizzie> regexec doesn't really do substitution, so that'd depend on what you do after.
10:31:03 <fizzie> It'd be reasonable that s/(foo)bar/$1/g would end up involving copying the "foo" substring where s/foo\Kbar//g would not.
10:31:09 <izabera> yeah but you just get a pointer to the beginning and end of the match
10:32:49 <izabera> why is (?!a|bc) valid?
10:32:51 <fizzie> Sure, but you'd need to copy the captures out, then do a whole expand-$1 thing when reconstructing string.
10:32:52 <izabera> err
10:33:00 <izabera> (?<!a|bc)
10:33:16 <izabera> what is it doing
10:33:16 <shachaf> I wish Perl or PCRE used intersection instead of lookaround.
10:33:38 <fizzie> I don't think it's valid per the documentation. It might do *something*.
10:33:40 <izabera> oooh have you seen that video about regex derivatives?
10:34:23 <izabera> a guy at google gave a talk about his regex engine
10:35:04 <izabera> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJOgDovsIsg
10:36:37 <izabera> `` printf '%s\n' ax bcx x cx | grep -P '(?<!a|bc)x'
10:36:39 <HackEgo> x \ cx
10:36:47 <izabera> so this is a bug in pcre?
10:37:30 <fizzie> They don't really specify what happens if it isn't fixed-width.
10:37:41 <izabera> `` printf '%s\n' ax bcx x cx | grep -P '(?<!(a|bc))x'
10:37:43 <HackEgo> grep: lookbehind assertion is not fixed length
10:37:48 <izabera> that ^
10:37:51 <fizzie> Oh, PCRE actually allows that.
10:37:58 <fizzie> "However, if there are several top-level alternatives, they do not all have to have the same fixed length."
10:38:01 <fizzie> It's a special case.
10:38:09 <izabera> oh ok
10:38:20 <izabera> cool
10:39:32 <fizzie> Guess it makes sense, since (?<!X|Y|Z) is obviously just (?<!X)(?<!Y)(?<!Z).
10:41:38 <fizzie> `` perl -e 'print join(" ", grep(/(?<!a|bc)x/, qw/ax bcx x cx/));'

23:40:43 -!- oerjan has joined.
23:40:53 <moon_> hia oerjan
23:41:32 <oerjan> helloon
23:41:53 * oerjan cackles adjectivally
23:43:20 <moon_> `med
23:43:26 <HackEgo> No output.

23:45:14 * oerjan punctuates moon_ with the saucepan ===\__/
23:46:25 * moon_ slimes oerjan with the snail cannon 0== 🐌
23:47:07 <oerjan> moon_: tabs don't transfer well in irc hth
23:47:15 <oerjan> (i see an inverted I)
23:47:16 <moon_> i didnt use one
23:47:22 <oerjan> yes you did.
23:47:36 <oerjan> unless you actually used an I with inverted color codes.
23:47:40 <moon_> freenode's builtin irc doesnt allow hackegos
23:47:46 <moon_> what
23:47:48 <moon_> lol
23:47:51 <oerjan> :P
23:47:51 <moon_> *tabs
23:48:09 <moon_> i was thinking and typing at the same time, it never ends well
23:48:26 * oerjan investigates.
23:48:39 <oerjan> the tunes logs have an actual tab character there.
23:48:55 <moon_> unicode error or me making a cpy-paste wrror
23:49:03 <moon_> 8error
23:49:05 <moon_> *error
23:49:13 <oerjan> i'm going to assume the latter.
23:49:17 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: "investigate" sounds like some scandal in the stock market
23:49:25 <moon_> i^
23:49:45 <oerjan> moon_: perhaps the web irc doesn't allow you _typing_ a tab, but still lets you paste one.
23:49:51 <moon_> yea, maybe

23:50:28 <shachaf> thinking and typing at the same time is actually known to have positive effects
23:50:46 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: No, you're supposed to think, /then/ type.
23:50:51 <moon_> ^
23:51:02 <moon_> i type my thoughts sometimes
23:51:06 <oerjan> hppavilion[1]: well spotted, you may become a punster yet.
23:51:06 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: Thinking and typing at the same time doesn't allow you to revise your thoughts before typing
23:51:09 <moon_> i was thinking about hackego then
23:51:45 <moon_> which resulted in: freenode's builtin irc doesnt allow hackegos
23:51:50 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: Also, stream-of-consciousness writing goes REALLY badly with certain psychological conditions
23:51:51 <shachaf> yes
23:51:53 <shachaf> everyone noticed
23:52:45 <hppavilion[1]> #esoteric: May contain crude drawings of nuts
23:52:57 <hppavilion[1]> (TREE nuts)
23:53:03 <moon_> Yea, that goes nicely
23:53:13 <moon_> replace the ingredients joke with it
23:53:17 <oerjan> moon_: i was assuming you pressed an actual tab, which got tab completed to HackEgo. wait, that doesn't even make sense without the capitalization.
23:53:25 <hppavilion[1]> moon_: It should probably go /with/ the ingredients joke
23:53:34 <moon_> oh, your right
23:54:07 <oerjan> `? #esoteric
23:54:12 <HackEgo> ​#esoteric is the only channel that exists. After monqy left it became slightly off-centër. It's about 30 m (100 ft) across. oerjan seems to be making a lawn in the northern part.
23:54:20 <hppavilion[1]> Maybe we should just make the topic "The international hub of esoteric programming", followed by a link to the expanded topic, which would be many thousands of sections long, and would serve in and of itself as a corpus for fungot

23:56:02 <hppavilion[1]> Hm, is this channel primarily prescriptivist or descriptivist?
23:56:06 <moon_> wow, 🔩 narnia!
23:56:10 <fizzie> There's also a CHESTNUT and a DOUGHNUT.
23:56:23 <moon_> both hppavilion[1]
23:56:25 <moon_> both
23:56:31 <hppavilion[1]> moon_: "primarily"
23:56:39 <moon_> both
23:56:44 <moon_> its 50% 50%
23:56:49 <oerjan> hppavilion[1]: the expanded topic is just the entire tunes logs hth
23:56:50 <hppavilion[1]> I advise that the channel officially take on the prescriptivist ideology

23:57:32 <hppavilion[1]> (Take note: An actual example of irony, once the s/// is applied)
23:57:53 <moon_> you mean `sed 's/prescriptivist/descriptivist_'
23:58:22 <oerjan> hppavilion[1]: i'd describe this channel as prescriptivist, but i'd certainly not make it a rule hth
23:58:24 <hppavilion[1]> moon_: No, I just mean s///. s/// is used in conversation on IRC as well as being part of HackEgo

23:58:54 <hppavilion[1]> s/x/y/ means "correct whichever message this makes most sense on"
23:59:02 <moon_> ik
23:59:17 <hppavilion[1]> moon_: Strictly speaking, it's still correct syntax; it just isn't the HackEgo bottrig
23:59:35 <moon_> 🔩 looks like a bolded To
23:59:48 <fizzie> It's a bit iffy to complain about "correct syntax", what with that underline.
