06:49:33 <zzo38> I thought of a simple way to make a C and PostScript polyglot program: Write the PostScript code first, with "/* pop" at the beginning, and "quit */" or "currentfile flushfile */" at the end.
06:52:14 <myname> while you are at it, you could also make it lhs
06:53:50 <zzo38> Yes, that can be done easily enough, too.
06:57:14 -!- tromp has joined.
07:04:51 <zzo38> (I don't know if you need a C and PostScript polyglot; I do use C and shell script polyglots though.)
07:14:11 <shachaf> For what?
07:16:15 <zzo38> Mainly to include compilation commands in the file
07:19:17 <shachaf> But all my shell scripts include #!

07:24:57 <zzo38> Yes, although I just run it with "bash xyz.c" or whatever, so #! is not needed in that case (nor is the execute bit needed).
07:31:19 <zzo38> (My shell scripts that are not C programs do include #! at first and do have the execute bit)

09:35:29 <int-e> maybe it was funny in context? seems entirely forgettable to me...
09:37:14 <cpressey> int-e: I think it's play on "bad-tempered" vs "well-tempered"?
09:37:35 <int-e> cpressey: ah, maybe
09:37:56 * int-e isn't very musical.
09:38:21 <cpressey> @tell arseniiv Right, so lambdabot doesn't actually tell you that you have messages, until you *say something* on the channel.
09:38:21 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
09:38:35 <int-e> cpressey: it certainly makes it better :)
09:39:31 <int-e> cpressey: I believe the main lambdabot authors were the screen- or irc bouncer kind of people.
09:40:00 <int-e> which makes merely joining a channel a bad indicator of activity
09:40:56 <cpressey> it's just that we were trying to figure out what the trigger actually was, the other day
09:41:39 <int-e> It's activity on the channel. And then there's a rate limit, so I suppose testing it out can be a little hard.
09:42:47 <int-e> (I'd have to check the code, but I believe it just keeps a time stamp of the latest notification which is checkd even when there are new messages.)
09:44:19 <int-e> Let me check actually.
09:46:02 <int-e> I'm wrong. There is a rate limit (pretty low, once per day), but it is reset when a new message is added.
09:49:07 <shachaf> It's an above-average pun for wisdom, I think!
09:50:07 <int-e> shachaf: It's good, but too advanced for me.
09:51:32 <int-e> does anybody else find youtube's (relatively new) mini player annoying?
09:53:21 <shachaf> I'm not sure I've seen it.
09:53:24 <int-e> (What happens is that I search for a video, click a thumbnail, and expect to get the video page... but if I click a bit too far to the right it triggers the "add to queue" action that activates the mini player.)
09:53:56 <shachaf> YouTube seems pretty user-hostile to me. They always turn on autoplay which I doubt is what hardly anyone wants by default, but is surely good for \rainbow{engagement}.
09:54:55 <int-e> Good use of the rainbow command.
09:55:24 <int-e> Yes, autoplay is high on my personal list of youtube annoyances.
09:55:33 <shachaf> I would use the actual rainbow command, but I think you have colors and colours disabled.
09:55:44 <int-e> I do.
09:55:48 <shachaf> Anyway, as Google says: "We believe that advertising can be effective without being flashy. We don’t accept pop–up advertising, which interferes with your ability to see the content you’ve requested."
09:55:54 <shachaf> I think YouTube captures this quite well.
09:56:51 <shachaf> Man, the Pragmatics of SAT workshop is in about 4 hours.
09:57:08 <shachaf> I kind of want to try attending but I doubt I should be awake then.
10:00:50 <int-e> I guess the mini player (or rather, the queuing feature that goes with it) could actually be fun if I didn't trigger it accidently so much.
10:01:57 <int-e> But then again, 95% of the time I want to watch one video at a time.
10:02:57 <int-e> I think I even asked here how to play an individual video from a playlist not too long ago.
10:03:35 <int-e> Oh well. Enough whining about bad UI/UX for today. :)
10:08:27 <shachaf> Using random SAT instances for testing was probably not a great idea.
10:10:07 <int-e> hmm
10:11:01 <cpressey> Speaking of \rainbow{engagement}, I am saddened to note that Mozilla has apparently decided that their browser's "blank page" should in fact include headlines/previews of "recommended articles"
10:11:16 <int-e> I know I've read a bit about random instances but nothing stuck.
10:12:14 <shachaf> Well, many of the interesting tricks are just not very relevant for random instances.
10:12:20 <int-e> cpressey: Yeah I still configure it to have a proper blank page.
10:12:47 <shachaf> Apparently there was a lot of progress when people started using industrial instances instead of random instances as benchmarks?
10:13:13 <shachaf> I heard a similar thing about allocators -- that people used to test allocator performance with synthetic workloads, and they became much better when people started using real workloads.
10:13:23 <int-e> It's hard to have random instances that simultaneously exhibt the kind of locality you get in real life.
10:13:49 <int-e> But that's just a vague idea that sounds smart, with no real insight in how to overcome it.
10:14:11 <shachaf> https://ece.uwaterloo.ca/~vganesh/Publications_files/vg2015-SATGraf-SAT15.pdf is probably related to that?
10:15:00 <shachaf> I like the pretty SAT instance pictures.
10:15:04 <int-e> cpressey: mozilla's doing way too much syndication these days.
10:15:22 <int-e> including things like "recommend extensions when you browse"

10:15:31 <cpressey> int-e: Yeah, I've noticed.

10:21:39 <int-e> mmm setting potm by proxy
10:21:52 <shachaf> I figured you were doing that.
10:22:06 <shachaf> I mean, with maybe 70% confidence.
10:22:14 <shachaf> Of course I don't get points for saying that after you.
10:22:57 <int-e> I wasn't, but is anybody going to believe that...
10:23:10 <shachaf> Oh no.
10:23:33 <shachaf> Now it's the worst of all worlds for me.
10:23:55 <shachaf> Hmm, I have this function that writes some strings to a FILE * argument. If you pass it stdout it works fine, but if you pass it stderr it writes and flushes a lot of small strings.
10:23:59 <shachaf> What's the way to get around that?
10:24:18 <shachaf> I guess ideally it wouldn't write to a FILE * at all but just give you a string, or something...
10:24:44 <shachaf> Well, I don't know what's ideal.
10:27:03 -!- Lord_of_Life_ has joined.
10:28:20 <int-e> tinker with setbuf() to make stderr buffered, or write to a string buffer, then write that to the file?
10:28:41 <int-e> (or setlinebuf)
10:29:03 <shachaf> I wonder what would be a good API to give callers in practice.
10:29:53 -!- Lord_of_Life has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
10:30:01 -!- Lord_of_Life_ has changed nick to Lord_of_Life.
10:30:07 <int-e> Hmm, wasn't aware of fmemopen.
10:31:10 <int-e> (or its dynamic friend, open_memstream)
10:33:07 <shachaf> That's another thing I was considering.
10:33:26 <shachaf> Or rather I was considering open_memstream, I didn't know about the other one.
10:35:03 <shachaf> In the general case you don't necessarily want the entire output to be in memory, though. You just want a fixed buffer that you can flush.
10:35:28 <shachaf> I guess setbuf works OK but it makes the caller do more work.
10:37:53 <shachaf> Maybe the function should do its own buffering.
10:38:07 <int-e> ideally you'd add a buffer temporarily if there isn't one already... but you can't query whether an fd is buffered, I think.
10:38:33 <int-e> Err, file handle, of FILE * type.
10:39:16 <shachaf> Yes.
10:39:32 <shachaf> I mean, the ideal API to present is maybe something like a state machine, but that makes the function way more work to write.
10:44:19 <cpressey> /* Note: this function makes many small writes to the FILE * passed to it -- it may behoove you to ensure it is buffered. */
10:44:36 <cpressey> That's all I'd do
10:44:42 <int-e> "behoove"
10:44:50 <int-e> so fancy
10:47:00 <cpressey> It's a word that I use strangely frequently considering how funny it is
10:47:11 <cpressey> It's just that it's the mot juste sometimes
10:47:46 <int-e> It's fine, just really rare, and maybe a tad condescending.
10:48:11 <cpressey> "it may be in your interests to ensure that it's buffered" is a bit long.  "You might want to ensure it is buffered", maybe.
10:48:20 <cpressey> My point is, I don't know what the caller wants.
10:48:20 <int-e> So maybe a bit out of place for technical documentation? I don't know.
10:48:36 <cpressey> Maybe they want lots of small writes on an unbuffered stream.  It's possible!
10:48:55 <int-e> It's hard to phrase this in a way that does not come across as condescending. You are giving advice after all.
10:49:34 <cpressey> The other option is just to have the first part of the comment, and hope the client can infer the second part.
10:50:19 <int-e> As a result, this function may be slow on unbuffered streams.
10:50:56 <cpressey> Sure, that's less opinionated.
10:51:55 <int-e> You better ensure the stream is buffered unless you like your code slowing down to a crawl!
10:52:11 <int-e> You are somewhere in the middle of that spectrum :)
10:52:52 <int-e> This is also really close to bikeshedding.
10:54:14 <shachaf> cpressey: OK, but it's supposed to be maximally convenient to use.
10:54:58 <shachaf> Maybe making every caller do setbuf is OK, but it seems annoying since this'll be in all of my programs.
10:56:40 <int-e> maximal convenience indicates you should bite the bullet and do your own internal buffering, and live with the memory overhead and potential double copying.
10:56:47 <shachaf> The specific case is a function that generates --help text for programs.
10:57:06 <shachaf> So it probably all doesn't matter.
10:57:15 <int-e> otoh this doesn't sound performance critical at all
10:57:37 <shachaf> It isn't.
10:57:45 <int-e> then KISS it
10:58:08 <shachaf> It's just this does things like indenting by printing a bunch of spaces in a loop, and it's not great to have each one be a system call.
10:58:22 <int-e> (Huh, why have I never seen anybody use that as a verb? It's so natural!)
10:58:58 <int-e> I guess the sexual connotations make it inappropriate in most contexts.
10:58:58 <shachaf> I think everyone says "KitSS". It really rolls off the tongue.
11:00:34 <int-e> aren't there things like printf("%*s", n, "")?
11:09:04 -!- craigo has quit (Quit: Leaving).
11:11:34 <shachaf> Oh, hmm.
11:12:45 <shachaf> I guess there are!
11:13:52 <shachaf> That helps with the worst of it. But there are still other things like if (x) { printf("..."); } else { printf("   "); }
11:15:47 -!- craigo has joined.
11:18:38 <cpressey> <shachaf> The specific case is a function that generates --help text for programs.  <== I'm going to go out on a limb and say that on modern machines, such text will always easily fit in memory.
11:19:13 <shachaf> It's true. But then the caller would need to give it a buffer or something.
11:19:17 <shachaf> Or it would need to use malloc.
11:20:03 <cpressey> Would it be a sad thing for it to use malloc?
11:20:38 <cpressey> In specific, I had the thought, "If only there was a version of sprintf() that just doubles the size of the buffer each time it would otherwise overflow".
11:21:03 <cpressey> But to be fair I haven't programmed in C in years and years now
11:22:15 <shachaf> Well, it's silly for an API to use malloc if it doesn't need to.
11:22:28 <shachaf> It might not be available.
11:22:37 <shachaf> And it isn't great for temporary allocations anyway.
11:24:39 <int-e> Obviously you should be using CPP magic to make the help message a constant string.
11:25:11 <shachaf> I'm already using too much other magic to generate it.
11:27:08 <int-e> It's important to hang on to those shreds of sanity :)

14:02:47 <cpressey> arseniiv: hi.  Generalized Minksy machine is very cool, but to implement it in Tandem wouldn't you need to be able to define a concrete string representation for each of the values? Would there be a way to do this canonically?
14:04:30 <arseniiv> cpressey: hi!
14:04:33 <cpressey> (btw, Tandem is still broken, because ⊥ and algebraic manipulations hate each other)
14:06:11 <arseniiv> I’d represent values in a prefix (Polish) notation, or maybe in a S-expression notation or similar, but it seems they are all stack-unfriendly

14:08:58 <arseniiv> for example let { data Nat = Z | S Nat; data ListN = N | C Nat ListN }, then I would represent C (S (S Z)) $ C Z $ C (S (S (S Z))) N as CSSZCZCSSSZN or (C(S(SZ))(CZ(C(S(S(SZ)))N)))

14:13:25 <arseniiv> cpressey: answering your question in full, yeah, I believe a representation like those would be canonical. We can even use multi-letter constructors, I forgot one can match many characters at once
14:15:49 <arseniiv> like Cons␣S␣S␣Z␣Cons␣Z␣Nil␣ for the prefix version, ending each name in a space. Though this is not the deal of course, but it’s neat we can be faithful to the details of the original haskell-like naming of constructors

14:16:30 -!- kspalaiologos has joined.
14:16:50 <arseniiv> I used them sometimes long time ago when I wrote programs by hand
14:17:12 <arseniiv> don’t remember where I learned about them
14:17:46 <cpressey> I see, I think.  Well, as long as you can build & consume them from one side only, you only need one stack to hold them (and if you can't, you can probably put them across two stacks, like a tape, if you're prepared to juggle them a bit)
14:17:54 <arseniiv> kspalaiologos: hi how are your languages doing?
14:18:13 <kspalaiologos> I wrote an emulator
14:18:17 <kspalaiologos> for this UM32 thingy
14:18:43 <kspalaiologos> it works, and it's moderately obfuscated
14:18:52 <kspalaiologos> the best settings for some reason break the program so I'm checking it
14:19:08 <arseniiv> cpressey: yeah maybe two stacks would be enough, didn’t thought about that. One is definitely not, as we can’t add from another end. Hmm how about a deque-rewriting language where you can match on both ends?

14:39:32 <cpressey> Hmm.  It is a bit difficult to simulate matching either end of a deque, when you simulate the deque with two stacks.  Each stack needs to be a full copy and, when you rewrite one of them, you have to make the same change to the other (but since it's upside-down, a fair bit of work is involved)

15:03:35 <arseniiv> cpressey: yeah, both ends at the same time is tricky. Maybe one could first shuffle all content to the left half-stack, then shuffle the matched amount of character back, and if there’s no match on either end, it should be genuine
15:03:50 <arseniiv> s/character/characters
15:04:59 <arseniiv> oh wait there is no “match any character and then place it here”, that’s a minor difficulty too

17:57:08 <b_jonas> int-e: can't find a very easy way now, the easiest I recommend is to load the video in the playlist then edit the url bar to remove the "list" GET parameter 
17:57:30 <b_jonas> that, or use youtube-dl, which can list playlists
17:57:33 <b_jonas> and metadata
18:02:47 <b_jonas> "<int-e> [mozilla] "recommend extensions when you browse"" => how is that a bad thing? that means that they don't put those extensions as stuff suddenly appearing in your browser at a software update and annoying you by default until you disable it. they're showing restraint compared to how firefox usually works by only recommending stuff.
18:05:30 <b_jonas> "<shachaf> this function that writes some strings to a FILE * argument. If you pass it stdout it works fine, but if you pass it stderr it writes and flushes a lot of small strings. / What's the way to get around that?" =>

18:05:45 <shachaf> Oops.
18:07:00 -!- kritixilithos has joined.
18:07:39 <b_jonas> if you can afford an extra syscall, then dup stderr, fdopen the dupe, setvbuf it to block-buffered, write into that FILE *, fflush and fclose at leisure. otherwise it's trickier and libc-dependent -- perl and python have easy ways to create an extra file descriptor without duping the underlying handle but libc doesn't.
18:13:11 <b_jonas> if you are using a libc that has the open_memstream function (which is in POSIX and glibc) and can afford to keep all the data that the function writes in memory at once, you can use open_memstream. otherwise glibc has non-portable functions to create a FILE * with custom backend functions, so you can probably implement an equivalent of fdopen that doesn't require duping the fd using that.
18:13:31 <esowiki> [[User:CubixThree]] N https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?oldid=75116 * CubixThree * (+235) I made it!!! :D
18:14:09 <b_jonas> if none of these conditions apply, then I don't know any other solution to get a suitable FILE *, you'll have to make a version of your function with a different interface.
18:16:12 <b_jonas> "<int-e> tinker with setbuf() to make stderr buffered," => setvbuf instead of the ancient setbuf please, but I don't recommend this, the problem is that something else may try to use your stderr, including another thread or a broken fatal error exit function that tries to write diagnostics to stderr and then _exits
18:16:54 <shachaf> b_jonas: I'm fine with a different interface.
18:17:15 <shachaf> In fact I would prefer to have the core API not depend on stdio, so it's usable in more contexts.
18:20:15 -!- Cubix has quit (Quit: https://quassel-irc.org - Chat comfortably. Anywhere.).
18:22:41 <b_jonas> shachaf, int-e: mostly fmemopen is for reading, open_memstream is for writing. 
18:26:08 <b_jonas> shachaf: perl and python let you just fdopen in such a way that it doesn't close the underlying fd when you close the fh. they work differently: perl uses refcounting and closes when you close the last fh, python lets you explicitly choose at open time, but for stderr this distinction is irrelevant. libc doesn't have such an interface for FILE*, but in gnu libc you can implement one from the general 
18:26:14 <b_jonas> custom FILE creation functions. libstdc++ is similar: no builtin, but you can create a custom outputstream. in both cases, the library handles the buffering, and you effectively implement the write function, not the fwrite function.
18:31:52 <b_jonas> "<shachaf> It's just this does things like indenting by printing a bunch of spaces in a loop, and it's not great to have each one be a system call." => but the libc has printf("%.*s%s\n", (int)indent_count, "", line); for that, and that will not flush until the end
18:32:26 <shachaf> Yes, int-e mentioned that and I'm using it now.
18:32:54 <arseniiv> I’m worried that set-theoretic representation of partitions needs to explicitly forbid empty sets in them. Am I too far gone?
18:34:36 <b_jonas> well technically it's printf("%.s%s\n", (int)(unsigned)(indent_count < 0 ? 0 : indent_count), "", line); so that if you try to indent by more than two gigacolumns you get incorrect indentation instead of undefined behavior, but details.
18:35:58 <b_jonas> no sorry, make that just printf("%.s%s\n", (int)(unsigned)indent_count, "", line); 
18:40:37 <b_jonas> "Well, it's silly for an API to use malloc if it doesn't need to." => this is for printing a --help machine. it's not a problem to use malloc for that, as long as you give a compilation option to just omit that entire feature
18:45:20 <shachaf> Well, you might be using it on a platform without malloc.
