04:05:30 <lament> bah
04:05:41 <lament> shapr: it's not like Haskell is in any danger...
04:06:15 <shapr> wasn't talking about Haskell
04:06:28 <shapr> Joy is probably esoteric
04:08:05 <lament> ah, you're into _that_ as well :)

13:30:28 <lindi-> ZeroOne: you mentioned some programming language that allowed changing the code without having to restart the program, what was it?
13:37:10 <ZeroOne> did I? when? are you sure I didn't refer to Befunge or some other language with self-modifying code?
13:37:25 <lindi-> hmm, maybe it was tazzle then?
13:39:29 <ZeroOne> could be, because I can't think of any such language from the top of my head, except interpreted languages which can be paused.
13:39:55 <ZeroOne> and even those don't allow much changing, like adding whole new lines
13:40:39 <fizzie> it's not like you _couldn't_ change the code of arbitrary program regardless of the language it's written in, just attach a debugger and re-write it's memory.
13:40:40 <lindi-> tazle even
13:41:05 <lindi-> fizzie: sure sure, but tazle iirc mentioned some language where this functionality was extensively supported
13:41:23 <fizzie> I am not familiar with this "tazle" you speak of.
13:44:11 <lindi-> that's understandable, he's only on #tik04
13:45:27 <fizzie> I should probably go write some code now that I don't have any deadlines for tomorrow.
13:45:48 <fizzie> and the physics exercises for monday/tuesday look very un-fun.
13:49:03 <fizzie> "exercise 5: there's a car (mass m=1000kg) approaching a cliff at speed v=1.0cm/s. calculate the probability of said car reflecting off the cliff border. (hint: treat the cliff as a (gravity) potential wall, and write the schroedinger equation before and after the cliff. the probability of reflection is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave component moving backwards."
13:49:43 <fizzie> ok, so the question is funny, but solving the necessary differential equations wouldn't be.

17:05:09 <ZeroOne> but that's just the interpreter, http://web.archive.org/web/20040221222300/http://www.mines.edu/students/b/bolmstea/mtfi/mcbc10.zip would be the compiler (apparently for MS-DOS)
17:16:13 <lindi-> ZeroOne: mm, i have a feeling i once read the sources through
17:30:05 <lindi-> ZeroOne: too bad it's DOS only :(
17:31:51 <lindi-> would be really interesting to see a benchmark

22:20:06 <ZeroOne> fizzie: I thought that was exactly what you meant :p
22:20:25 <ZeroOne> Hipo: what esolangs are you into?
22:21:19 <fizzie> I'd have said 'irc client', not 'ircnet-client', then.
22:21:35 <Hipo> ZeroOne: What esolang?
22:21:43 <ZeroOne> Hipo: esoteric programming languages
22:21:54 <ZeroOne> I just can't be bothered to type the full phrase every time ;)
22:22:05 <ZeroOne> or "essies"
22:22:12 <fizzie> "EPLs".
22:22:19 <ZeroOne> hey, that's a good one
22:22:31 <fizzie> EPL sounds like JCL or some other relic from the distant past.
22:22:32 <Hipo> What those are exactly?
22:23:01 <ZeroOne> Hipo: like Brainfuck, Befunge, Whitespace, INTERCAL, Unlambda, ...
22:23:27 <ZeroOne> I thought you knew because you joined this channel
22:23:30 <fizzie> is there a good url-answer to that question, btw?
22:23:30 <Hipo> A bit brainfuck.
22:23:46 <Hipo> ZeroOne: No, I joined because you mentioned this channel on that other channel. :)
22:24:09 <ZeroOne> fizzie: how about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_esoteric_programming_languages
22:24:25 <Hipo> I don't like esoteric languages. :)
22:25:11 <fizzie> zeroone; it'll get deleted soon anyway. :p
22:25:34 <ZeroOne> fizzie: nope, the Votes for Deletion nomination was cancelled.
22:25:59 <fizzie> the catseye esoteric-topics-in-computer-programming page used to be a good starting point, but is that thing even alive any more?
22:26:19 <ZeroOne> yeah, it just changed its address. just a sec, I'll look it up.
22:26:27 <ZeroOne> http://catseye.mine.nu:8080/
22:26:38 <fizzie> the :8080 is hard to remember.
22:26:49 <fizzie> that wikipedia article links to an archive.org copy.
22:27:08 <ZeroOne> above the archive.org copy is a link to that new version...
22:27:28 <fizzie> oh.
22:27:49 <fizzie> hey, I'm already in bed and half-asleep, can't notice everything.
22:28:07 <ZeroOne> haha :)
22:28:35 <ZeroOne> might be a good idea. gotta get up early tomorrow. I slipped school today. ;)
22:29:04 <fizzie> I only missed the first four hours of lectures today.
22:29:16 <fizzie> had some trouble getting out of bed in the morning.
22:30:00 <ZeroOne> it happens
22:30:11 <fizzie> so I managed to catch a boring/useless scheme lecture and an even more useless "how to use matlab to calculate stuff like 1+1" exercise session, instead of anything useful.
22:30:27 <fizzie> in retrospect, might've made more sense just to stay home.
22:31:34 <Hipo> Hmm, maybe I should write an esolanguage of my own...
22:31:42 -!- lindi- has joined.
22:31:48 <lindi-> ZeroOne: ah, indeed
22:34:14 <fizzie> whu? the ru keymap has , and . as shift-6 and shift-7, respectively.
22:34:19 <fizzie> strange layout.
22:34:40 <fizzie> I guess it's because they have all those extra letters.
22:38:24 <fizzie> (just happened to notice.)
22:43:06 <Hipo> Poni.
22:52:42 <fizzie> a pony?
22:59:45 <Hipo> Yea, a pony. Just came to my mind.

15:48:13 <ZeroOne> or you may want to read nothing so not to be influenced by solutions of other people
15:49:23 <Hipo> The point of esoteric language is just that its insane and not for real use? I don't mind if I use same idea that some other language already uses... :)
15:51:52 <fizzie> 1. (1) esoteric -- (confined to and understandable by only an enlightened inner circle; "a compilation of esoteric philosophical theories")
16:10:36 <Hipo> Why there's link to Scheme48 in topic? Scheme isn't an esoteric language...
16:11:11 <mtve> we should add +t mode i guess
16:11:37 <mtve> meanwhile feel free to change the topic :)

12:04:32 <ZeroOne> lindi-: nice job
12:05:19 <ZeroOne> but we did count that factorial based numbering system would become shorter than decimal notation after approx 10^15, didn't we?
12:05:30 <ZeroOne> but that of course assumed new characters
12:05:35 <lindi-> ZeroOne: yep
12:05:45 <ZeroOne> hey, where are you?-O
12:06:25 <ZeroOne> I'm at Panic
12:08:08 <ZeroOne> ok, I'm moving there ->
12:08:32 <lindi-> not quite sure, this is some class in the main building
12:08:34 <ZeroOne> btw, I assigned alias "ipne" for "pine"
12:08:39 <ZeroOne> Tellus?
12:08:55 <ZeroOne> p and i are difficult characters
12:09:29 <ZeroOne> wonder why some of these OS's don't recognize "ping" command
12:09:47 <lindi-> they do, but you have to tell the exact path i think
12:10:07 <ZeroOne> I'm at a box named tempest. If I type "ping vipunen" it says "vipunen is alive". if I ping anything from vipunen, the command is not recognized
12:10:16 <ZeroOne> that's lame ;P
12:10:24 <lindi-> yeah
12:10:46 <ZeroOne> p and i are difficult characters to type in the right order if they're right one after another
12:11:11 <ZeroOne> nice, I've got two minutes for moving this 200 meters to the main building
12:11:13 <ZeroOne> or less
12:11:16 <ZeroOne> I'll go ->
12:11:17 <lindi-> i'm trying to figure out how to print the notes at http://www.hut.fi/~jnyman/
12:11:46 <lindi-> actually, why print, i could copy them to my communicator :P
15:47:41 <fizzie> back when I used pine I always typoed it "oubi".
15:48:16 <fizzie> which is strange, "pine" << 1 = "oubw", not oubi.

15:12:42 <fizzie> is most likely the cause.
15:13:24 <fizzie> if you have a simple test case where it behaves differently than mooz's bef, I can try to get it fixed at some point. pretty busy right now, though.

18:00:05 <Keymaker> good luck
18:54:14 <Keymaker> YES!
18:54:24 <Keymaker> i realized something
18:57:37 <fizzie> hmm?
18:57:53 <Keymaker> one thing in a brainfuck program i was writing..
18:57:57 <Keymaker> one important thing
18:59:27 <fizzie> is this brainf*ck program about anything interesting? -g
18:59:37 <Keymaker> dunno
18:59:51 <Keymaker> it shall tell if isbn number is correct or not
19:02:19 <fizzie> a-hum. sounds very useful, if you happen to have some brainf*ck-scriptable system you need to do isbn-checking in.
19:02:33 <Keymaker> lol
19:02:35 <Keymaker> :)
19:02:45 <Keymaker> i need to contact the local library
19:03:36 <Keymaker> [/joke]
19:03:49 <Keymaker> i meant that library thing
19:03:52 <Keymaker> the program's real
19:04:33 <lindi-> fizzie: not really esoteric, but do you know a portable way to do assert() in java? assert(foo) works in 1.2 and 1.5 but out homework checker uses 1.4 and complains loudly
19:06:20 <lindi-> it's temporarily fixed with private static void xassert(boolean b){if(!b) throw new AssertionError();}
19:09:02 <fizzie> hummn. just using the 'assert' keyword should, as far as I know, work in 1.4 too.
19:09:25 <fizzie> or does it.
19:09:27 <fizzie> perhaps not.
19:09:40 <lindi-> well, they mention it in the documentation but it still gives me errors
19:10:13 <lindi-> (just a sec, i'll give the details)
19:10:28 <fizzie> it's supposed to be a keyword nowadays, but using it should still work.
19:10:37 <fizzie> riight.
19:11:04 <fizzie> you might need to invoke javac with "-source 1.4" if you want to use assertions.
19:11:22 <lindi-> well, i can't do that. the homework checker is automated
19:11:29 <fizzie> I know that
19:11:45 <fizzie> strange that it works in 1.2, though.
19:11:55 <fizzie> see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/lang/assert.html#compatibility
19:11:58 <lindi-> and in 1.5
19:12:13 <fizzie> well, in 1.5 probably the default is to use the new semantics.
19:12:25 <fizzie> where 'assert' is a keyword, and thusly not a legal identifier.
19:15:07 <fizzie> "Unless you specifically request source mode 1.4 with the -source 1.4 flag, the compiler operates in source mode 1.3. If you forget to use this this flag, programs that use the new assert statement will not compile. Having the compiler use the old semantics as its default behavior (that is, allowing assert to be used as an identifier) was done for maximal source compatibility. Source mode 1.3 is likely to be phased out over time."
19:15:27 <lindi-> "phased out", right
19:15:39 <fizzie> why do you need assertions in java-homework?
19:17:58 <fizzie> you're not supposed to use good style and sophisticated design yet. :p
19:18:44 <fizzie> (says the one who started to write yet another scheme object system and a gui toolkit for his t-93.211 work.)
19:19:46 <lindi-> well, i wish we had scheme :/
19:20:36 <fizzie> I've looked at some of this year's homework assignments. they seem sort-of silly, at least the ones I happened to look at.
19:22:43 <lindi-> i think the only problem is that it's targeted to everyone and not just CS people. also, it's more about java than programming in general
19:23:31 <fizzie> this latter part of the scheme course we're having now manages to be somewhat interesting, actually.
19:24:17 <fizzie> it's about implementing interpreters. they even mention continuations, which is funky.
19:24:28 <lindi-> hmm
19:24:56 <fizzie> although it makes no sense that there's no homework-style stuff, only 3 hours of lectures/week. I'm not quite sure the majority will learn these things too well.
19:25:09 <lindi-> oh
19:25:45 <fizzie> the interpreter code we look at during the lecture is available to play with, in the interweb, but your regular student probably won't bother unless there are some graded homework assignments about it.
19:26:08 <fizzie> at least in brown university, where we've stolen the material from, they have homework assignment rounds.
19:27:15 <lindi-> hmm
19:30:37 <fizzie> probably didn't bother since this'll be the only time they're arranging the course.
19:33:22 <lindi-> :(
19:34:58 <fizzie> arr, I'll be having mat-2.090 (Applied Probability A) and tfy-0.201 (physics III) exams tomorrow, and the latter doesn't sound good at all.
19:54:01 <Keymaker> hmm
