00:06:45 hi salpynx 00:07:35 also, I think many of us are interested in a mix of sensible challenges and complex jokes 00:07:52 brainfuck-on-blockchain is an interesting idea, although it may have been comprehensively outesotericised by Ethereum 00:08:09 yeah, sensible challenges with complex jokes are nice 00:08:14 perhaps it would be possible to try it on an altcoin nobody cares about? there are a huge number of them, after all 00:08:36 some of those vaporware projects that never get made are mixes of sensible challenges with complex jokes I guess 00:09:36 -!- Essadon has quit (Quit: Qutting). 00:11:15 I guess my esolang research has skewed towards the sensible for a while 00:11:31 but then, I'm a major contributor to things like C-INTERCAL, which is close to the pinnacle of the "complex joke" end of the scale 00:11:40 yeah 00:13:47 -!- diginet_ has joined. 00:17:29 ais523: you could call the DOS nethack TAS a good mix of serious and a complex joke I guess 00:17:59 whereas ayacc and aimake are on the serious side, more so than esolangs in general 00:18:01 -!- fungot` has joined. 00:18:28 -!- diginet has quit (Quit: diginet has quit!). 00:18:29 -!- aloril has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 00:18:29 -!- fungot has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 00:18:29 -!- aloril_ has joined. 00:18:30 -!- diginet_ has changed nick to diginet. 00:19:19 hmm, I wanted to look up if there's a nethack4 bug ticket about how in certain polymorph (and maybe also as an orc character) you should eat apples whole on unix 00:20:45 b_jonas: if it helps, I've seriously threatened to implement a brainfuck backend for ayacc 00:21:00 -!- clog has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds). 00:21:20 bye clog? 00:21:21 -!- Vorpal has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds). 00:21:27 oh, netsplit is coming 00:21:27 ais523: Who do you threaten? Is it a threat? 00:21:50 zzo38: it's a threat in that some people might see such an implementation as undesirable, but it's not a threat aimed at anyone in particular 00:22:44 O, OK. I think that if it is a separate file than the other backend then I do not have a problem with it 00:23:23 well, all of ayacc is one file to make it easier to distribute, but it would have a separate section in the part of the file that defines backends 00:23:55 Yes, that can work too, I suppose. Use conditional compilation if someone complains 00:25:00 -!- Vorpal has joined. 00:25:25 ais523: if you implement it, will you also put an open source license declaration in ayacc? 00:25:30 because then it will be worth 00:25:52 I don't care for the bf backend as long as it doesn't make the rest of ayacc harder to sue 00:26:25 b_jonas: I will probably make ayacc GPLv3 at some point 00:26:26 if it isn't already 00:26:28 I would like some frontend transformations, as well as a stackless C/C++ backend. 00:26:48 ais523: it is distributable under some such licence, but there's no declaration 00:26:58 ais523: there's a declaration somewhere in the #esoteric logs 00:27:04 ah, OK 00:27:14 but not in the source code itself (unless you snuck it in recently) 00:27:18 the basic problem is that ayacc is so close to my day job it might be legally unwise for me to work on it at the moment 00:27:27 ais523: yes, exactly 00:27:31 although my day job's diverged a bit since 00:27:40 which is why the bf backend is a good sigh 00:27:51 if you can work on the bf backend, then you can probably also work on the license declaration 00:28:07 Yes, you should add properly the valid open-source/free-software license, whether GPLv3 or public domain or something else. 00:29:25 I think there's no ticket for how any polyform, even a gelcube, will eat apples and pears without cores. 00:30:09 b_jonas: I'm not working on the BF backend because of this 00:30:11 it's probably the main reason? 00:30:27 I'm thinking about it, though; semantic actions are hard 00:30:42 perhaps we should restrict it to bignum BF and make the semantic actions into numbers 00:30:46 err, semantic /values/ into numbers 00:34:58 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 00:39:02 Thanks for the ideas. I thought about another altcoin, but then that'd be a lot of learning I'd have to do that would be less generally applicable, anything I learn about bitcoin protocols is more likely to be useful to me or others. Bitcoin has the advantage that there are a lot of exiting libraries to piggyback form or reverse engineer as well, so I don't have to implement everything and can focus on a few jokes. 00:40:03 The GPU idea is good, I don't remotely need to use it for the simple operations I'm aiming for, but it'd be fun to somehow use it for a trivial calculation, just to say it's being used 00:41:32 salpynx: yes, nor do you need to use brainfuck or blockchains for the simple operations you're aiming for 00:41:44 `hello 00:41:45 hello, world 00:41:58 ^ proof of concept: hello world, without using bitcoin or blockchains or GPU 00:42:36 it does run on HackEso through IRC though, so in that sense it is overcomplicated. I could just run hello world locally. 00:44:45 b_jonas: currently I'm trying to write a The Waterfall Model interpreter that's has a sufficiently powerful optimiser that it can run a hello world in a reasonable length of t ime 00:45:20 ais523: hmm, how does that generate output? 00:45:34 there's an extension where you can take a useless counter and add specific values to it 00:46:08 I wrote the extension recently because being able to produce output makes it easier to reason about what a program is doing (also makes the language more usable on PPCG) 00:46:10 https://esolangs.org/wiki/The_Waterfall_Model#Output_extension 00:46:16 but it's optional and not part of the "core" language 00:52:56 Do you know about mediaeval barber shop prices? Part of this http://zzo38computer.org/gurpsgame/1.ui/wiki?name=Session+17 has a price list does it looks like OK? 00:56:10 no clue. I've never been to a mediaeval barber. 01:00:00 a medieval barber would probably be more expensive nowadays than they would have been in medieval times 01:02:18 Yes, but I mean in medieval times rather than now 01:09:40 -!- b_jonas has quit (Quit: leaving). 01:47:38 -!- ais523 has quit (Quit: quit). 02:00:19 -!- imode has joined. 02:18:45 -!- clog has joined. 02:31:54 zz038: Late medieval prices for a barber surgeon (full healing rather than the smaller things): https://books.google.com/books?id=3TuNOcTEXigC&pg=PA113 The battle healing on your list seems very good value! 02:38:20 Do you have the one without Google Books? 02:42:02 https://archive.org/details/dailylifeinchauc00forg it needs to be "borrowed" though 02:43:27 Do you just have a plain text version of the price list? 02:43:35 (Retype it if you have to) 02:43:38 Also https://www.jstor.org/stable/24620701 looks like a relevant paper which also uses John Ardene as an original source, from JSTOR, but I can't find a directly accessible full copy 02:44:10 I do not need a full copy of the book 02:48:33 Most of the professional practitioners were in London, In other large towns there might be a few physicians and surgeons, but medicine was primarily in the hands of the barber-surgeons and barber-tonsors. The countryside was served only by part-time healers, unless a patient was wealthy enough to import the services of a professional. 02:48:46 Treatment by a highly skilled practitioner could be very expensive: Arderne recommended a fee of 100 marks for a great person, £40 for lesser people, and £5 as a minimum. In principle, medical practitioners were supposed to treat the poor free of charge, but it is unlikely that they devoted much of their valuable time to such charity. 02:49:11 2nd sentence is about all that is relevant for full healing 02:51:18 Five pounds is a lot more than I put. I suppose many poor people are unlikely to be able to read the price list anyways 02:58:32 I changed the price for "healing wounds from battle" now it is increased to five pounds. I do not remember exactly what prices the GM said, but I think it wasn't higher than that. Once the GM reads it, if he remember what he said, and also once he reads the footnote I added, then he might tell me to change it (he has the ability to change it by himself, but he doesn't use that, and I do instead). 03:03:49 20s for an application of Mercury ointment for treating scabies from the JSOR paper (16 pages), not many other specifics though. A lot about treating paupers for free and from others accepting "presents of fowls and ducks" 03:21:36 -!- xkapastel has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity). 03:56:18 -!- sprocklem has quit (Quit: sprocklem). 04:00:20 -!- sprocklem has joined. 05:10:02 -!- doesthiswork has quit (Quit: Leaving.). 05:37:08 -!- derpy has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 05:38:34 -!- derpy has joined. 05:54:04 -!- Sgeo_ has joined. 05:57:58 -!- Sgeo has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds). 06:03:48 -!- imode has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds). 06:21:10 -!- GeekDude has quit (Ping timeout: 268 seconds). 06:22:46 -!- GeekDude has joined. 06:42:55 For HTTP ranges, in addition to "bytes", we can also have "lines", "items", and "unixtime" ranges.
