00:02:58 <tswett> So I think it would make the most sense to say that the week of January 1, 1 was "week 1", and therefore an odd week.
00:03:06 <tswett> This would mean that January 1, 2001 was an even week.
00:10:53 <boily> wouldn't it be logicker to always consider the week with January 1 as always odd?

09:32:08 <HackEgo> Taneb is not elliott, no matter whom you ask. He also isn't a rabbi although has pretended in the past. He has at least two backup keyboards with dodgy SHIFT KEys, cube root of nine genders, one of which is a Czech woman, and above average, not too voluminous, but calm eyebrows. He sometimes invents without noticing it (see: tanebventions).
09:32:31 <HackEgo> Tanebventions include automatic squirrel feeders, necessity, Go, submarine jousting, Fueue, the universe, special relativity, metar, weetoflakes, sand, dragons, persistence, the BBC, _46bit, progress, cumin, sanity, the Oxford comma, and this sentence. See also tanebventions: maths. He never invents anything involving sex.
09:32:39 <HackEgo> Mathematical tanebventions include D-modules, Chu spaces, the torus, Stephen Wolfram, Klein bottles, string diagrams, the reals, Lambek's lemma, pointless topology, Curry's paradox, the long line, locales, and histograms.

17:02:32 <dario_> I'm new here, so I would like to introduce myself to you, the community...
17:06:38 <dario_> I'm working on BitBitJump machine derivative versions.
17:08:35 <HackEgo> dario_: Welcome to the international hub for esoteric programming language design and deployment! For more information, check out our wiki: <http://esolangs.org/>. (For the other kind of esoterica, try #esoteric on EFnet or DALnet.)
17:09:43 <dario_> The interesting area for BitBitJump experimentations is program code production: it's a good field for experimenting code optimizations. This is an area I feel it is related to FPGAs and URISC computing.
17:12:47 <dario_> In fact the instructions set is very reduced to one kind of instruction in 3 phases: read, write, jump.
17:14:57 <dario_> I have tested it partly with designs that include simulated logic gates and multiplexers, so I refer to the FPGA-related part of the research.
17:16:05 <dario_> Now I would like to discuss it here and to contribute to the Wiki.

20:17:50 <\oren\> I was thinking about a procedurally generated programming language. Take a large project in some form such as machine code, lamda calculus, or C, and use some algorithm to determine what pieces of code appear most frequently. Make those things the shortest commands in your language, and you have huffmann coded programming.
20:20:38 -!- hppavilion1 has joined.
20:24:00 <\oren\> the huffmann coded language might not resemble the original in any way. for maximum golfing, it would probably use the 96 printable ascii characters
20:24:40 <\oren\> as the 96 most common code snippets, and then use the unicode characters as less and less common ones
20:28:21 <\oren\> er, wait there's only 94 printable ascii characters

22:38:40 <\oren\> the devs of the nano editor seem to have reimplemented most of ncurses themselves
22:39:37 <zzo38> Do you like this? http://sprunge.us/UgXJ
22:41:57 <\oren\> I'm attempting to add a new feature to nano that i laked about
22:42:37 <\oren\> iive settled on calling the feature "unicode rich display"
22:43:09 <zzo38> Read documentation if you did not understand
22:43:49 <\oren\> the idea is that you could put various subsitutions in a config file
22:44:26 <\oren\> and have the C code pow(x,2) show up onscreen as x²
22:44:53 -!- Marcela_Gandara has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
22:45:25 <\oren\> the feature doesn't necessarily involve unicode, but the intended usage does
22:46:07 <zzo38> Even such usage does not necessarily involve unicode if you are using different encodings
22:46:56 <myname> sounds a bit like vims consealing for latex
22:46:59 <zzo38> But can also be done entirely out of ASCII character and in some cases you may want to do stuff other than the character encoding such as colours and so on.
22:49:13 <\oren\> myname: yeah, that's sort of the idea
22:50:10 -!- nycs has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep).
22:51:09 <\oren\> but, you know, without it being a modal editor
22:51:36 <shachaf> vim isn't particularly modal
22:52:00 <shachaf> Actually I don't even know what a modal editor is.
22:53:28 <shachaf> There's no such thing in vim.
22:53:40 <\oren\> shachaf: it sure looks like there is
22:53:55 <shachaf> There are insert commands, which are esc-terminated.
22:54:04 <shachaf> For example iabc<esc> is a command that inserts the text abc.
22:54:21 <zzo38> The problem with ex mode in vim I think is that ex mode uses the alternate screen buffer; I have once wanted to use ex mode and keep the commands in the shell visible on the screen at the same time, but vim does not do that.
22:54:26 <shachaf> You can repeat commands, so 3iabc<esc> is a command that inserts the text abcabcabc
22:54:56 <shachaf> If there was such a thing as insert mode you wouldn't be able to do that.
22:55:33 <\oren\> shachaf: but i<up button><esc> doesn't insert "\033[A"
22:55:57 <shachaf> Why would you press up button in the middle of an insert command?
22:56:08 <\oren\> shachaf: to insert something somwhere else?
22:56:17 <shachaf> No, that would be a separate insert command.
22:56:27 <\oren\> shachaf: in vim you can move the cursor around while in insert mode
22:57:16 <shachaf> Seems like an odd thing to do.
22:57:30 <shachaf> I guess it has some odd features. You don't have to use them.
22:58:00 <\oren\> you're forced to use modes
22:58:04 <shachaf> Would you say vim has a "delete mode" that you enter by pressing d?
22:58:14 <zzo38> You can also switch between insert and replace mode with in either by pushing the insert key (like some other editors for PC).
22:58:32 <shachaf> After all, if you press w in "delete mode", it deletes a word, and if you press d in "delete mode", it deletes a line.
22:59:00 <\oren\> anyway I find ed a lot easier to use than vim
22:59:01 <shachaf> You're forced to <esc>-terminate your insert commands, because that's the command syntax.
22:59:02 <zzo38> I think d is the prefix to cause it to delete; you can also type for example dj to delete two lines, this one and below, or dk to delete this line and above.
22:59:17 <zzo38> shachaf: Yes, but you can push CTRL and [ instead that also works.
22:59:34 <shachaf> zzo38: Yes, that's another way to <esc>-terminate your commands.
22:59:42 <shachaf> You can also press caps lock, which is what I do.
22:59:45 <zzo38> (Because it has the same ASCII code)
22:59:52 -!- hppavilion1 has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds).
23:02:37 <\oren\> well vim would be a lot easier to use if it had a help bar like nano does
23:03:22 <zzo38> The use of the help bar is to get in the way.
23:03:32 <myname> most awesome feature a terminal editor can have
23:03:52 <shachaf> It would be better if it had a ribbon like Microsoft Office.

23:06:25 <\oren\> actually, if escape leaves insert mode and dd deletes a line, then in insert mode can I press alt-d d to delete a line?
23:06:41 <zzo38> I don't like the ribbon either it also waste space
23:07:09 <shachaf> Using vim when you believe in insert mode must be unpleasant.
23:07:43 <\oren\> shachaf: what do you call the state the editor is in when [INSERT] appears a tthe bottom of the terminal
23:07:53 <myname> it hardly plays any role on wether it is a mode or not
23:08:06 <shachaf> What do you call the state when you press d?
23:09:31 <myname> i actually couldn't care less about insert being a mode or a command
23:09:45 <shachaf> Of course it doesn't actually matter.
23:09:47 <myname> except the times i actually do 3iabc and am annoyed by it
23:10:14 <shachaf> But if you're going around, "being in insert mode", pressing the arrow keys to move around, and then you press <esc>...<i> to run commands, of course you won't like vim.
23:11:05 <myname> if you solely move witz arrow keys, i agree
23:11:21 * boily <iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii> ♪
23:12:06 <\oren\> i mean the most common operations in editing can ll be done from insert mode, viz, writng text, moving, deleting text.
23:12:48 <myname> it just defies vim of what it's good at
23:13:18 <\oren\> myname: what is it good at
23:17:09 <myname> but i do think kakoune is better at those
23:17:17 <myname> i just can't get started yet
23:19:38 <myname> http://kakoune.org/why-kakoune/why-kakoune.html also explains what's nice in vim
23:22:33 <\oren\> hmm but it's like I have all these F keys on top of my keyboard why can't they do things
23:23:48 <myname> most of my f keys are used by my terminal multiplexer
23:24:23 <shachaf> Maybe "modal editor" means that it's the most common one.
23:24:29 <shachaf> In which case vi might be modal.
23:25:00 <\oren\> shachaf: the most common editor is probably whatever javascript devs use
