With a bias to esoteric PLs. 05:30:49 -!- imode has joined. 05:34:15 https://sat-smt.in/ started about half an hour ago. 05:36:07 shachaf: yeah 05:36:54 I guess it's not really a conference. 05:37:12 It's very arguably related to #esoterica. 05:37:13 Anyway, what zoom confs do you attend? Wondering 05:37:13 Are you attending? 05:37:49 shachaf: waiting for Armin Biere :) 05:38:00 Aha. 05:38:06 shachaf: I do, this is why I'm asking, maybe there is something interesting as well as this 05:38:36 I'm watching the introductory talk but so far it's all basics. 05:38:37 virtual uni, so to say 05:38:44 shachaf: yes, basics 05:39:33 I don't know that I want to stay awake until 4 watching these talks. 05:40:00 It all seems a bit silly. If you're just watching a video being streamed, it's a worse experience than watching a recording, which you could watch at 2x speed or pause. 05:40:26 Maybe it's all will be uploaded here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm6e0ZSQt-C6iEhBV6TaEdA 05:40:56 Yes, that's what I expect. 05:41:01 Yeah, but you can ask a question in zoom 05:41:03 I guess the benefit is asking questions in real time or something. 05:41:05 Right. 05:41:25 So maybe that'd be a better format. I guess some conferences do it that way. 05:42:13 Maybe I should read kissat code to have good questions to ask. 05:43:12 Modern SAT solvers are not an easy piece of cake 05:43:29 I read some kissat code before. 05:43:43 I also wrote my own CDCL solver. 05:43:55 shachaf: if so, you can probably dive into kissat... 05:44:05 But maybe not in the next hour. 05:45:24 I guess this channel is just full of people who are into satisfiability? 05:45:44 shachaf: dunno. I like this channel because like both CS and some eso-PLs 05:45:50 satisfied with satisfiability. 05:45:53 it's less formal than other CS channels 05:46:39 What are the neato CS channels? 05:46:57 shachaf: #cs, #algorithms, whatever on reddit 05:47:15 like full of too-seriuous professors 07:05:18 -!- Lord_of_Life has quit (Changing host). 07:05:18 -!- Lord_of_Life has joined. 07:17:05 -!- user24 has joined. 07:39:21 [[Cerberus]] M https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=79361&oldid=79358 * Tetrapyronia * (-4) 07:59:15 shachaf: Armin Biere starts his presentation on zoom 07:59:20 starting 07:59:47 I see it. 08:00:08 Hmm, what's your native language, if you have one? 08:00:29 huh 08:07:26 . o O ( aren't they all artificial ) 08:08:45 It's only the pattern of saying "X Ys" instead of "X is Ying" that I'm curious about. 08:09:10 shachaf: Russian is.

However, I have failed to find any rule that specifically says that a land cannot be cast if some effect says to cast that card. 20:49:29 zzo38: ah, this is about the double-faced land things again.

It doesn't seem to have highlighted the main source file, either. 22:15:33 Funnily enough, fungot does not use very much self-modifying code. If memory serves, I successfully ran it on an AOT compiler once. 22:15:34 fizzie: mr president, you mentioned the hague convention of 1996 which, thankfully, was taken up with the arrogance of the world. the death penalty and the affirmation of the european institutions to put the extension of the mandate of the auto/ oil package which includes a visit to central america at the wto. 22:17:10 one "g" can easily be a part of horizontal string and an instruction from some vertical direction 22:17:32 same for "v" 22:17:55 Oh, I guess that was a caching issue, fungot.b98 is highlighted now that I reloaded it. 22:17:56 fizzie: mr president, i too had not intended the interpretation which has been followed here since the santini report. or if we have agreed at community level in the commission, mrs de palacio, of the type involved, specialized agriculture using a labour force which is in danger and that it will also provide a guarantee of industrial feasibility, respecting the financial interests of the consumer in this modern age demands. in 22:18:18 It doesn't understand a-f as numeric either, guess it's optimized for '93. 22:19:02 Well, at least it looks festive, which is appropriate for the season. 22:35:07 is Chris Pressey in this channel? 22:36:01 Sometimes, but not since September this year. 22:36:51 s/September/October/ 22:36:57 (What's wrong with my log-rsync?) 22:40:24 (Oh, the remote command it uses had changed from `rsync --server --sender -vlogDtpre.iLsfxC` to `rsync --server --sender -vlogDtpre.iLsfxCIvu` and I had made the key very picky in what can be done with it.) 22:42:37 -!- user24 has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 23:20:56 -!- Arcorann has joined. 23:25:35 -!- sprocklem has joined. 23:27:10 -!- rain1 has quit (Quit: WeeChat 2.9). 23:31:56 nakilon: yes, the one time usage variables starting with underscore are easy, because I only have to write them once so it doesn't really matter what I name them. but already with an s suffix there's a problem: does s stand for sequence/array or string? how do I call the other? if I use v for arrays, then how do I abbreviate value? I just keep getting myself confused. 23:32:20 I should probably just stick to longer names, it doesn't hurt that much to use them 23:32:49 when I mean string I add "str" 23:33:38 k, v for key and value when iterating over associating arrays, so I'll never call an array v 23:33:51 *associative 23:33:57 if I try to use one-two-three letter variable names, there are just too many words that abbreviate to the common letters like s n d whatever, and oddly v too 23:35:03 if I mean array sometimes "array" is exactly how I name that var ) 23:35:15 fizzie: I don't find that too strange. befunge doesn't force you to use self-modifying code for anything, it's not like you have to write indexes or anything into character cells, in fact it doesn't even provide good tools to write numbers to code, at most you can write booleans easily. not using self-modifying code is just the easiest way to write befunge. 23:36:13 Well, true. But it's sort of a signature move for the language. 23:36:17 also sometimes I run into conflicts with the short keywords: in particular, I know I must not call an input file handle `if`, because that's a keyword 23:36:44 (The admin ^reload and ^code commands of course do self-modify, but that's kind of special.) 23:37:30 You can write numbers to code very easily in Funge-98, you just prepend the number with ' 23:37:58 fizzie: oh, there is such a primitive? let me see 23:39:10 It's called the "one-shot stringmode". 23:39:33 nice 23:39:44 are the cells single bytes? 23:39:49 in Ruby 1.8 you could write ?a and that was a number corresponding to ascii a code 23:39:59 No, they're arbitrary integers, usually 32-bit signed ones. 23:40:02 then it changed so it's "a" 23:40:05 oh nice 23:40:10 so they're the same type as on the stack 23:40:12 (1 char long string) 23:40:30 yes, that sounds like you can write self-modifying code (unless of course you want multi-threaded or otherwise reentrant code) 23:40:42 it could be hard to optimize of course 23:42:04 you'd need something like qemu that tracks which cells are compiled and what it has to recompile at every store, but qemu can do that efficiently because programs optimized for normal cpus already know that they shouldn't write and execute from the same page too much, because it can be very slow 23:42:29 doing it at a granularity smaller than pages would be rather inefficient 23:42:35 I think gForth has that character literal syntax too. 23:42:38 `forth 'a . 23:42:39 97 23:42:56 I think it's sort of uncommon though. 23:42:57 fizzie: and so do some lisps, though I think the prefix is two characters there 23:43:22 Scheme has #\x. 23:43:57 (In line with various other things beginning with #, like #t and #f for the booleans.) 23:45:10 fizzie: yes. I would actually like to see a convention where the octotrophe serves as eitehr a comment marker if there's a space before it, or a rare token suffix if there's no space before it, but it looks like the only language that does that is K the apl-like 23:45:38 it would work because it's already a convention that there's always whitespace (or the beginning of the file) before a comment marker 23:46:14 so this would effectively save one of the precious 33 ascii punctuation 23:50:44 -!- adu has quit (Quit: adu).
