00:00:29 I had started writing the server code for the web interface of sqlnetnews (called sqlwebnews); posting messages is not yet implemented, but I think I implemented the rest. The client code is not implemented yyet. This is the part of the implementation which generates the HTML interface: http://sprunge.us/6oJSuA 00:02:47 Hopefully, you can tell me if there is something wrong with this code, or tell me which IRC channel to try.

(b is a 64 bit value with exactly one bit set). 11:33:28 Instead of popcount(b-1), you could just use clz/ctz/ffs/bsf/bsr/whatever you want to call it. 11:34:57 true... mumble... too many degrees of freedom 11:35:44 huh, what's ffs? 11:36:09 oh, clz with an off-by-one, at least for my purposes 11:36:21 Yeah. It's a POSIX function, short for "find first set". 11:36:41 s/l/t/ 11:36:48 Where "first" means "least significant", 1-based, and 0 if no bits are set. 11:37:50 also hmm: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50481 11:40:16 * int-e is pondering bitboards for Reversi for fun. 11:49:51 Apparently you can do a 64-bit reverse in SSE-land by splitting each nybble to a byte, using pshufb on the constant 0x0f070b030d0509010e060a020c040800 (with the nybbles as the shuffle mask) to reverse each nybble, and then collecting them back to 64 bits in reversed order. But I think that's quite unlikely to be better for reversing a known 1 bit. 12:20:45 -!- xkapastel has joined. 13:00:06 [[Help:Dottyweb]] M https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=82467&oldid=20409 * PythonshellDebugwindow * (-13) Update URL 13:32:29 b_jonas: I wrote it on a paper and do not have it on the computer right now. 13:33:15 ah 13:34:08 But, about the esoteric programming language that I was referring to, it is: http://esolangs.org/wiki/%E1%9A%B1%E1%9A%A2%E1%9A%BE%E1%9B%85%E1%9B%A6 13:36:52 However, the use of a custom encoding will reduce the file size to less than that of the Unicode representation. The pentimal runes can still be represented in the messy way mentioned there in Unicode, but they don't look good, at least on my computer. (When converting to/from Unicode, they must be converted from/to the proper codes for the pentimal runes.) 13:39:50 -!- hypocritical has joined. 13:44:06 int-e: It might depend on what instruction set you have, maybe. 13:45:13 sure. unfortunately, x86_64 does not feature a builtin bit reversal instruction 13:51:15 Yes, although I don't know about RISC-V. (I remember reading about the proposed bit manipulation extension once, and I don't like it much; I think the way MMIX does it is better.) 13:52:03 MMIX doesn't have a bit reversal instruction either, but you can reverse the bits of an arbitrary 64-bit number with two instructions and one long constant. 14:07:29 MMIX also guarantees that if the shift amount is out of range that all bits are shifted out, like Glulx and some other instruction sets do, although not all do. I think that this behaviour is useful; there are a few uses for it, including to implement the ! operator of C to change 0 to 1 and other numbers to 0. (I don't know if any compiler will do this on an instruction set that supports it.) 14:17:12 -!- hypocritical has quit (Quit: Connection closed). 14:39:13 -!- Sgeo has joined. 14:43:45 -!- LKoen_ has joined. 14:46:04 -!- LKoen has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds). 15:24:31 zzo38: "if the shift amount is out of range" => defining shifts like that doesn't really help all that much. and this wouldn't work all that well on x86, because then you'd need an extra instruction when you want to use a single byte long shift count, because for historical reasons (z80 compatibility) single byte load or arithmetic instructions on x86 don't clear the high byte of the word 15:25:36 zzo38: we already have other ways (comparisons) to change a 0 to 1 and other numbers to 0, both on MMIX and on x86: on x86 you use a TEST then a SETZ instruction 15:26:56 [[Pain]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=82468&oldid=82461 * RetroPain * (+56) 15:29:31 zzo38: that said, AVX2 and AVX512 adds vector shift instructions VPSLLVD, VPSLLVQ, VPSLLVW (and the corresponding right shifts) that do consider the full shift amount (as an unsigned value) and will zero the output if it's too large, 15:32:06 zzo38: oh, and in fact even the original SSE2 bitshift instructions PSLLW, PSLLD, PSLLQ work this way, taking a 64-bit unsigned shift count. I just never noticed this, even though I have used those instructions, but I didn't rely on that property 15:49:41 -!- arseniiv has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 15:50:13 OK, those considerations are valid, then. (Still, Glulx doesn't have another way to change 0 to 1 and other numbers to 0 with a single instruction, even though other instruction sets do. Also, this isn't the only case where shifting out all of the bits if the shift amount is out of range can be useful, I think.) 15:50:52 (Some algorithms might be optimized if they do not have to check that the shift amount is in range first, maybe.) 16:08:23 b_jonas: OK, here is the code page table now I put it into the computer: http://sprunge.us/dagQKR 16:13:18 The Free Hero Mesh preprocessor is Turing-complete even with only {define} and {call} (or only {append} and {call}), but is it Turing-complete with {define} alone or {append} alone, and/or other combinations? 16:13:33 zzo38: I see 16:17:15 -!- arseniiv has joined. 16:27:46 -!- grimler32 has quit (Quit: Leaving). 16:50:42 -!- big_caballito has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 16:55:23 -!- Frater_EST has joined. 16:55:47 -!- big_caballito has joined. 17:02:21 -!- delta23 has quit (Quit: Leaving). 17:12:34 (It is (probably) possible for the name of a macro to define to come from the expansion of another macro, so maybe it is possible to use this to make it Turing-complete; I don't know.) 17:12:38 -!- imode has joined. 17:17:12 [[Ss]] N https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?oldid=82469 * CatLooks * (+2805) Created page with "'''SS''' is an esoteric programming language created by [[User:CatLooks|CatLooks]]. ==Overview== Each line in '''SS''' is written in int [byte] style.
