05:55:25 <GregorR> Tell me, is it normal for you feet to itch the first day you wear new shoes?
06:06:52 <Sgeo> GregorR, were your feet itching the last time you wore new shoes? /me thinks it's normal for feet to feel strange, but not to itch..
06:07:55 <GregorR> Sgeo: I can't give a normal experience with shoes, I have a severe allergy.
06:11:01 <GregorR> I just thought I might not be allergic to these shoes.
06:11:12 <GregorR> But I'm getting preliminary symptoms that suggest I could be.
06:12:49 <Sgeo> New shoes usually feel weird, but not itchy
06:12:57 <Sgeo> Also, why don't socks protect you?
06:13:40 <GregorR> I'm allergic to chromium, and a layer of non-chromium-tanned leather isn't sufficient to protect me, so socks are worthless.
06:14:24 <GregorR> I guess I can add microfibers to the list of materials I can't wear. So, I'm looking for those elusive non-leather, non-synthetic-leather, non-microfiber shoes. That leaves, what, moccasins and clogs.
06:15:06 <Sgeo> Can that allergy actually hurt you? Or is it merely uncomfortable?
06:15:31 <GregorR> Suffice to say that I've had to throw out a lot of socks because I couldn't clean the blood out of them.
06:15:53 <lament> well, we have a clog in the channel, but only one...
06:16:34 * Sgeo winces for GregorR
06:17:06 <Sgeo> How many people have this allergy? Not enough for shoemakers to care?
06:20:58 <GregorR> I've only found statistics within certain populations that have a high exposure to chrome, and even in those fields it's less than 1%.
06:22:33 <GregorR> Ah, here we go: "he prevalence of Cr(VI) sensitivity among the general U.S. population is estimated to be 0.08%."
06:23:25 <GregorR> That's specifically hexavalent chromium (the toxic variety), and I'm allergic to all forms of chromium (including the non-toxic kind that's used for tanning)
06:23:41 <GregorR> SO, suffice to say I won the really-effing-annoying-allergy lottery.
06:38:07 <Sgeo> Better than being allergic to nothing because you have no immune system..
06:47:43 <Sgeo> bsmntbombdood, have a healthy immune system?

14:54:19 <oklopol> are these channels the two channels whois shows you're one?
14:56:07 <oklopol> Slereah_: clever answer, i didn't actually remember skin color existed

14:56:39 <oklopol> but that was even cheatier
14:59:37 <Deewiant> oklopol: on IRCnet, they are, so probably not
15:00:23 <oklopol> so esoteric wasn't one of those two?
15:01:03 <oklopol> (also you're only on one channel there, publicly)

15:12:28 <oklopol> well he linked it ages before you, now i'm just being curious.
15:12:48 <Deewiant> so, probably, he saw it on reddit as well. :-)
15:13:01 <Deewiant> it was at the top of the math subreddit.
15:15:33 <oklopol> i would have preferred it with a bit more math, now it was more about just knowing what theorems have to do with what, and what names form punny funs.
15:16:13 <Deewiant> well, it's a bedtime story after all, so it can't be too complex. :-)
15:18:06 <oklopol> only little imaginary stuff
15:18:20 <oklopol> i guess real stuff will always be complex stuff, tho.

16:04:28 <pikhq> RodgerTheGreat: Whee.
16:05:07 <pikhq> Concerning the idea of adding label:. . .
16:05:22 <pikhq> Could we say that a function may also be used as a label?
16:06:03 <pikhq> (like in assembly, how it honestly doesn't *care* whether the address being jumped to is a function or not)
16:06:35 <RodgerTheGreat> Hm. well, functions have header code related to calling the function
16:07:05 <pikhq> I never said that I'd recommend using one as the other is *sane*.
16:07:06 <RodgerTheGreat> so maybe the function should be usable as a label immediately after the header?
16:07:32 <pikhq> I'm just saying that this makes it easier, I think, to compile to assembly.
16:07:46 <RodgerTheGreat> seems like a decent idea, we just need to come up with at least one case where it would be useful, and then design around that
16:08:13 <pikhq> It's not actually useful, it's just easier to compile. Infinitely. :p
16:08:15 <RodgerTheGreat> if we can't come up with any cases where it's useful, it's added complexity that we want to avoid
16:08:22 <tusho> pikhq: Self-modifying code, dude.
16:08:23 <pikhq> Well, actually, there is one case.
16:08:25 <tusho> And code hidden in data.
16:08:36 <tusho> Modifying data to modify code.
16:09:05 <ais523> does anyone here apart from tusho fancy entering the ICFP in a #esoteric team?

16:09:39 <ais523> I know how badly that would go too, so that's why I said "apart from tusho"
16:09:46 <tusho> regardless of anything, I just don't think our way of coding overlaps at all
16:09:48 <tusho> for all of #esoteric
16:10:11 <tusho> I mean, for a start, language.
16:10:21 <tusho> For every language someone uses in here, another person vehemently hates it.
16:10:26 <ais523> I think it would be great to actually win with an INTERCAL program
16:10:35 <ais523> that would never happen
16:10:39 <ais523> but just entering one would be fun

16:12:58 <ais523> I wasn't sure, because my connection was playing up about then
16:13:04 <tusho> an irc channel by nature is almost entirely too eclectic to manage anything like this
16:13:07 <tusho> unless it's tight-knit
16:13:11 <ais523> I'm willing to teach it to anyone who's willing to learn anyway
16:13:11 <tusho> and when you consider this is #esoteric...
16:13:26 <ais523> well, it would be possible to get a 24-hour coding effort going
16:13:36 <RodgerTheGreat> pikhq: you should really save these to your computer or something: http://www.nonlogic.org/dump/text/1215028173.html
16:14:42 <RodgerTheGreat> at this point, the fibonacci sequence generator is becoming a more accurate and complete reference to the high-level language, so I suspect I'll need to revise the spec soon
16:15:10 <oklopol> ais523: will you teach face-to-face?
16:15:33 <ais523> oklopol: only if someone happens to be in the same place in RL at the time
16:16:20 <ais523> over IRC's just as easy, though

16:18:50 <tusho> er, the joke was that you would use random.org and not a real ie.
16:19:05 <oklopol> hmph, you know your life isn't perfect when you can't just decide to go to birmingham at a whim.
16:19:21 <tusho> i could probably just go to birmingham at a whim
16:19:54 <oklopol> tusho: i use python for randomization
16:20:03 <oklopol> i call it a die occasionally.
16:20:05 <tusho> oklopol: that's a PSRNG
16:20:14 <tusho> random.org is a real RNG
16:20:19 <ais523> maybe I should alter nomicdice_ to enter #esoteric, but it's a PRNG too
16:20:31 <tusho> it could use hotbits
16:20:51 <oklopol> tusho: there's no difference
16:20:58 <tusho> oklopol: yes there is
16:21:12 <tusho> hotbits' atomic decay is pretty much fundamental randomness.
16:21:19 <tusho> a computer just does some arithmetic based on the time.
16:21:27 <oklopol> all randomness is fundamental until proven otherwise
16:21:35 <ais523> one cheap way to get a true-random number is through the sound input when there's no soundcard connected
16:21:43 <ais523> you just pick up thermal drift, that way
16:21:52 <oklopol> pseudorandom works just as well
16:25:03 <ais523> AnMaster: I haven't updated it recently
16:25:09 <ais523> mostly due to having nowhere to easily code
16:25:12 <ais523> I'm on a sofa at the moment
16:25:15 <ais523> which is not ideal for coding on
16:25:38 <ais523> so instead I ran through the C-INTERCAL manual and corrected lots of typos
16:25:46 <ais523> including a couple which were pretty nasty
16:26:02 <ais523> like accidentally comparing select to OR rather than AND
16:26:08 <ais523> and saying all variables were read-only by default
16:26:22 <ais523> the second is exactly wrong, btw, all variables are read-write by default
16:26:48 <AnMaster> well TURT works apart from bg color now
16:26:55 <AnMaster> which I can't easily find how to fix
16:27:02 <tusho> ais523: not exactly wrong
16:27:07 <tusho> exactly wrong would be all variables are write-only
16:27:24 <ais523> read-only and read-write are the only possibilities in INTERCAL at the moment
16:27:45 <AnMaster> ais523, is the intercal code self modifiable?
16:28:00 <ais523> C-INTERCAL isn't self-modifying
16:28:15 <ais523> but you can turn bits of syntax on and off at will
16:28:35 <ais523> basically, all syntax is compiled whether it has a meaning or not
16:28:52 <ais523> it syntax-errors at runtime unless that syntax has been given a meaning (at runtime) before it's encountered
16:30:57 <Slereah_> Should I buy a book just because it has a section "Care of Your Pet Combinator"?
16:31:20 <Slereah_> I mean, children are starving in Africa and everything.

16:33:33 <ais523> definitely don't buy it, then
16:33:35 <ais523> what's it about, anyway?
16:34:18 <Slereah_> Unlike religion, where you can find books for free, Science has value D:
16:34:33 <pikhq> Perhaps it'd be easier to make that loop just:
16:35:16 <tusho> Slereah_: Turn into a fundie. You only need one book and it has everything!

16:35:49 <Slereah_> Well, I already have 30% of the bible.
16:36:05 <Slereah_> (Most free bibles peddlers only give out the new testament)
16:37:00 <Slereah_> "Carol Hindley (1986) has given some marvellous drawings of the outsides of several well known combinators in her hilarious note "Care of Your Pet Combinator". Here we find that they bear somewhat more resemblance to insects and reptiles than to conventional birds."
16:37:07 <Slereah_> How hilarious do you think this is?
16:37:22 <ais523> Slereah_: probably not
16:37:32 <ais523> I advise you to find it in a library or bookshop instead
16:37:39 <ais523> that way you can look at it without having to pay for it
16:37:53 <Slereah_> You want me to find an English book on lambda calculus here?
16:38:14 <Slereah_> http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lambda-Calculus-Combinators-Introduction-Roger-Hindley/dp/toc/0521898854
16:38:17 <ais523> I'm in a library, there's always a chance it's here...
16:38:22 <AnMaster> <Slereah_> http://macrochan.org/source/S/B/SBR5MBJZNWY4CSNASFFYCFGV4PZ4HUVX.jpeg <-- hilarious
16:39:12 <Slereah_> As for here, I already have a hard time finding any book at all on lambda calculus
16:39:20 <Slereah_> Much less some obscure English one.
16:40:23 <Slereah_> Also, why does that review call the author Carol?
16:41:17 <ais523> beh, it doesn't have Lambda-Calculus and Combinators: An Introduction but it does have Introduction to combinators and (the lambda)-calculus by the same authors
16:41:24 <ais523> and now I'm puzzled as to whether it's the same book
16:41:49 <ais523> I'm not sure how to find it at the Amazon end
16:42:32 <ais523> but it starts with the same few digits
16:42:37 <ais523> at least, the library gives two different ISBNs
16:42:41 <ais523> but it doesn't match either
16:42:48 <ais523> maybe it's a different edition of the same book?
16:42:57 <tusho> or an american version
16:43:04 <tusho> vs some other country
16:43:08 <Slereah_> It's the ISBN of the same version
16:43:12 <ais523> Slereah_: not sure, probably yes if the contents change
16:43:23 <ais523> anyway, the easy way for me to settle this is to log out and then go hunting around the shelves
16:43:35 -!- ais523 has quit ("looking for a book in RL").
16:45:27 <Slereah_> Also, is it dangerous to use both bird combinators and insect combinators?
16:45:40 <Slereah_> I fear they might try to consume them.
16:51:06 -!- ais523 has joined.
16:51:37 <ais523> Slereah_: I found the book
16:51:52 <ais523> the pet combinator stuff is just one page, not particularly interesting, and out of character with the rest of the book
16:51:58 <ais523> which is just full of dry mathematical stuff
16:52:21 <tusho> ais523: you just, because of someone on irc, went and found a book and made a micro-review which you carried in your head back to irc
16:52:27 <tusho> you are a hero among us all
16:52:44 <ais523> well, I checked the Internet catalogue first to see if it was here
16:52:54 <ais523> and it was about 20m away from where I was sitting
16:52:59 <ais523> so I thought it was worth having a look
16:54:10 <ais523> Slereah_: line drawings
16:54:15 <ais523> which were basically just letters
16:54:44 <ais523> no, the S was drawn as a snake
16:54:50 <ais523> but it was only one page of pics, in an appendix
16:54:59 <ais523> and the pics weren't as good as it sounds over IRC
16:55:14 <Slereah_> Too bad I can't find it online
16:55:17 <ais523> and it isn't really worth the 300+ pages of typewritten text with no illustrations that come with it
16:55:27 <tusho> ais523: you could have stolen it and uploaded it then put it back
16:55:35 <Slereah_> Well, lambda calculus is always interesting
16:55:38 <ais523> tusho: no, where would I find a scanner?
16:55:45 <Slereah_> But there's free ressources for that
16:55:55 <ais523> besides, I didn't need to steal it
16:56:01 <ais523> it is, as I said, in a library
16:56:06 <tusho> that's a good point
16:56:09 <ais523> and therefore I could take it out legally
16:56:11 <tusho> and, um, you could mail it to me
16:56:16 <Slereah_> But scanning it would be STEALING ITS COPYRIGHT D:
16:56:19 <tusho> take it out -> mail to me -> I scan -> mail it back -> back in library
16:56:53 <Slereah_> Or you could reproduce the entire page using MS Paint
16:57:12 <ais523> Slereah_: I don't even have that here without changing computer, I'd have to try to do it in the GIMP
16:57:30 <ais523> or in KolourPaint, I suppose, which I downloaded specifically for doing the sort of thing that Paint is actually useful for
16:57:55 <ais523> AnMaster: KDE naming, you have to love it
16:58:03 <tusho> AnMaster: lol, kde starts every name with a k
16:58:06 <tusho> it's funny because it is
16:58:17 <AnMaster> ais523, kyes kI kdo kas kI'm ka KKDE kuser
16:58:20 <ais523> not quite, the RSS reader is kalled Akregator
16:58:25 <tusho> gnome names an awful lot of things starting with 'G'
16:58:28 <ais523> oh, that kalled was a typo but I decided to leave it like that
16:58:29 <tusho> though they're actually removing that
16:58:51 <ais523> it's easy to thinko like that when thinking about KDE
17:00:00 <RodgerTheGreat> I can definitely see how that would be useful- loading kernel modules, for example?
17:00:32 <Slereah_> You know, with David Hasslehoff?
17:00:56 <tusho> Slereah_: he's a filthy swede
17:00:58 <RodgerTheGreat> ^ I re-pastebinned it because the original is slow as fuck
17:00:58 <tusho> and therefore knows nothing
17:01:03 <tusho> (My logic is impeccable, shut up)
17:01:05 <AnMaster> Slereah_, I haven't watched TV except for news for the past 2 years
17:01:17 <Slereah_> Knight Rider isn't recent at all, AnMaster
17:01:22 <Slereah_> Come on, even in France it aired!
17:01:23 <AnMaster> Slereah_, and I haven't been at a cinema for several years
17:01:39 <Slereah_> "Knight Rider is an American television series that ran from September 26, 1982, to August 8, 1986."
17:01:42 <AnMaster> Slereah_, I got no clue, anyway remember that I'm 18, so it may be too old
17:01:58 <RodgerTheGreat> probably want a ; in there somewhere for good coding practice
17:02:02 <AnMaster> RodgerTheGreat, oh that, saw it before, loaded very quickly
17:02:10 <Slereah_> Well, it was about a talking car, and a special agent, solving crimes.
17:02:28 <tusho> <AnMaster> Slereah_, I got no clue, anyway remember that I'm 18, so it may be too old
17:02:35 <tusho> i'm 12 and I know about knight rider
17:02:51 <tusho> AnMaster: oh, did you miss that?
17:03:03 <Slereah_> Send nude pictures of yourself to prove it.
17:03:12 <Slereah_> While wearing a cockring, if available.
17:03:18 <tusho> Slereah_: A++ AWESOME IDEA
17:03:27 <RodgerTheGreat> looks like he uses foo as a temporary variable, and as long as he's reading things into input he copies foo into bar...
17:03:33 <tusho> AnMaster: thanks I guess
17:04:09 <AnMaster> tusho, I don't believe that I said
17:04:27 <tusho> i know, everyone here totally says they're like 10 years younger than they really are right
17:04:36 <tusho> well, apart from Slereah_ and oklopol
17:04:41 <tusho> because they'd probably do that
17:04:52 <AnMaster> tusho, well I wasn't lying about being 18...
17:05:10 <ais523> well, WIkipedia says I'm 21
17:05:17 <ais523> and everyone knows it's right, right?
17:05:48 <ais523> as it is with a lot of other things
17:05:51 <ais523> however it does make mistakes occasionally
17:06:00 <ais523> Slereah_: I don't know, I haven't read that article recently
17:06:05 <Slereah_> Is it true that you molested six children in the early 90's?
17:06:09 <ais523> I looked at the age, and then closed it without reading the rest
17:06:16 <ais523> but I know it hasn't been edited recently
17:06:18 <ais523> and so it doesn't say that
17:06:32 <tusho> joking, before ais523 says anything
17:06:45 <tusho> no, what I'm REALLY adding is a link to your wikipedia user page
17:06:51 <ais523> tusho: no, that could get you banned
17:06:57 <Slereah_> "Alex Smith grew up in Birmingham, attending King Edward VI Five Ways, and was an alternate for the UK International Mathematical Olympiad team. His parents are both teachers at University of Birmingham."
17:07:00 <ais523> whereas the first will merely get you blocked
17:07:02 <tusho> ais523: i could like slap a joke in your face until you died
17:07:07 <tusho> and you wouldn't notice
17:07:17 <ais523> tusho: and I could deliberately miss the joke because i think it's funnier that way
17:07:20 <ais523> and you still wouldn't notice
17:07:27 <tusho> ais523: and I could deliberately respond to that seriously
17:07:31 <tusho> because it's funnier that way
17:07:35 <tusho> and you'd respond probably joking again
17:07:38 <tusho> and I would do the same
17:07:43 <tusho> and I have finally closed off the loop
17:07:59 <ais523> tusho: now make it into an esolang!
17:08:26 <tusho> Levels of Sarcasm/Jokes
17:08:35 <Slereah_> I remember a page where the theme song of Knight Rider was beat boxed
17:08:39 <tusho> you write a program by building up levels of sarcasm or jokes in intricite layers
17:08:43 <tusho> the program terminates when it goes back to 0
17:09:15 <Slereah_> Also, what level of irony would be Knight Rider in that language?
17:09:29 <tusho> Slereah_: 7.3/x^(y/pi+e)
17:10:00 <Slereah_> Knight Rider aired in Sweden, sez Wikpedia
17:10:01 <Slereah_> (Knight of the Night) Subtitled The show has three names, "Nattens riddare", "Riddaren i natten" and "Knightrider".
17:10:23 <tusho> swedish is such a silly language
17:10:26 <tusho> it makes everything sound ridiculous

17:12:15 <AnMaster> tusho, try to pronouce it in Swedish for gods sake
17:12:49 <Slereah_> The Swedes are just making stuff up.
17:13:05 <Slereah_> they actually use their skin patterns to communicate.
17:13:25 <Slereah_> Yes, Swedes have a bright skin pattern that can be consciously modified3

17:22:06 <pikhq> RodgerTheGreat: Thanks for the commenting.
17:22:14 <pikhq> I wasn't exactly thinking it through all that well. . .
17:23:22 <RodgerTheGreat> I have a way to allow pointer manipulation to a fair degree without making the language more complicated!
17:24:03 <RodgerTheGreat> make it so you can do something like "varname?" to store the address representing the pointer to a cell, rather than it's dereferenced value
17:25:00 <RodgerTheGreat> but with this facility, it'd be pretty trivial to create a function called "dereference"... gimme a sec
17:25:52 <pikhq> And thereby get the 'pass by value' feature that I proposed. . .
17:25:54 <tusho> RodgerTheGreat: why not provide a function called dereference[]
17:25:58 <tusho> and just have it primitive :P
17:26:30 <tusho> RodgerTheGreat: that's nice of you
17:26:39 <tusho> instead of, you know, just blankly asserting that
17:26:40 <pikhq> tusho: We have no primitive functions.
17:26:49 <tusho> pikhq: why not? It'd make a lot of things simpler.
17:26:53 <tusho> Than just piling on syntax...
17:27:02 <RodgerTheGreat> pikhq: I didn't say it wouldn't be useful, I just said we needed a way of doing it that didn't make the language nasty
17:27:02 <pikhq> It's meant as a systems programming language.
17:27:30 <pikhq> We can't assume that there is *anything* supporting the code at all.
17:27:36 <tusho> pikhq: Doesn't have to be.
17:27:40 <tusho> Just make dereference[x] compile specially.
17:28:27 <pikhq> The road to hell is paved with special cases.
17:28:40 <tusho> pikhq: Yes, like extra syntax
17:29:37 <pikhq> "Let's make the semantics funkier so the syntax is more sparse!"
17:29:45 <RodgerTheGreat> http://www.nonlogic.org/dump/text/1215188885.html <- how about this?
17:30:46 <RodgerTheGreat> the limitation is that you can only get a pointer's address when you create a new variable, but this doesn't actually restrict what you can do
17:39:03 <oklopol> it's always fun to realize your language is cleverer than you
17:41:11 <RodgerTheGreat> what do you say to this? http://www.nonlogic.org/dump/text/1215189574.html
17:42:13 <RodgerTheGreat> a little nastier than some of the previous code examples, visually, but you can completely hide this shit in functions like I just did
17:49:00 <Slereah_> Is there a unicode char for - with a dot over it I wonder?
17:49:17 <ais523> Slereah_: you could do it with combining chars
17:49:20 <ais523> why do you want one, though
17:49:21 <Slereah_> It's the symbol used for positive integer substraction apparently
17:49:40 <ais523> positive integer subtraction?
17:50:05 <Slereah_> You know, x-.y = x-y if x>y, and x-.y = 0 else
17:50:20 <RodgerTheGreat> the only trick with the current schema is that everything is effectively already a pointer. By allowing variable initialization as a pointer's address, you can "back off" a step and gain access to the address, to manipulate. Then, naturally, you have to doubly dereference to get the final pointed value, so an extra #/; does the trick
17:50:52 <Slereah_> Since recursive functions only use positive integer, it's used in many proofs.
17:51:06 <Slereah_> Plus you need it to define equality recursively

17:58:46 <AnMaster> RodgerTheGreat, where can I get the implementation for your language?
17:59:02 <RodgerTheGreat> AnMaster: pikhq is working on the first implementation
17:59:13 <AnMaster> RodgerTheGreat, open development I assume
17:59:32 <tusho> AnMaster: RodgerTheGreat doesn't believe in version control systems, dunno about pikhq
17:59:45 <AnMaster> cvs, svn, bzr, mercurial, darcs (and even git if I have to)
18:00:04 <AnMaster> RodgerTheGreat, what will it compile to?
18:00:33 <AnMaster> RodgerTheGreat, llvm would be nice
18:01:00 <RodgerTheGreat> if the project becomes popular, I'm sure we'll support more architectures/intermediary forms
18:01:40 <AnMaster> RodgerTheGreat, do you support custom calling conventions?
18:01:50 <ais523> hmm... I knew for a while that one of the cocreators of INTERCAL now works for Microsoft, but I just found out that the other now works for Google
18:01:54 <ais523> this puts a whole new spin on things
18:02:07 <RodgerTheGreat> AnMaster: the main goal for now is to support C calling conventions
18:02:19 <AnMaster> RodgerTheGreat, there are several
18:02:31 <AnMaster> RodgerTheGreat, on x86 that is
18:02:55 <AnMaster> on x86_64 there is one basically
18:03:20 <AnMaster> RodgerTheGreat, anyway win32 api make the callee clean up the stack in non-varargs function
18:03:31 <AnMaster> while on *nix it is always the caller that does it

18:07:11 <tusho> ais523: ”the most widely-used programming languages"
18:07:13 <tusho> someone's on drugs
18:07:26 <ais523> they did a lot of widely-used languages
18:07:33 <ais523> and then decided it would be fun to do INTERCAL too
18:08:18 <tusho> Our compiler converted the INTERCAL program to SNOBOL (actually SPITBOL, which is a compilable version of SNOBOL) and represented INTERCAL datatypes using character strings in which all the characters were "0"s and "1"s.
18:08:22 <tusho> a true hero among men
18:08:32 <ais523> tusho: that's actually a sane representation of data in INTERCAL
18:08:36 <ais523> although not the one that C-INTERCAL uses
18:08:41 <tusho> {Do you use either C-INTERCAL or CLC-INTERCAL currently? }
18:08:47 <ais523> because there are so many bit-wise operations
18:08:57 <tusho> ais523: i think that's the fanciest-deisgned page that mentions C-INTERCAL
18:09:07 <ais523> I'm glad they noticed CLC-INTERCAL too
18:09:13 <ais523> someone's keeping up with the world of INTERCAL
18:09:20 <ais523> most INTERCAL websites are stuck in the past
18:10:07 <tusho> ais523: c-intercal.eso-std.org, if it ever comes to pass, should utilize ajax and have web 2.0 stylings
18:10:11 <tusho> just for the sheer cognitive dissonance
18:10:18 <ais523> it should also be itself written in INTERCAL
18:10:28 <tusho> ais523: that's a bit harder.
18:10:35 <tusho> i'll write it in something, you translate it. :P
18:10:43 <ais523> probably in CLC-INTERCAL
18:10:53 <ais523> partly because it's the wrong one
18:11:02 <ais523> and partly because it's slightly better at outputting constant strings
18:11:20 <tusho> ais523: and to run it, i'll translate clc-intercal to ruby
18:11:26 <tusho> so that it can run on Passenger
18:11:34 <tusho> (I may just make it shell out to perl; dunno)
18:11:35 <ais523> tusho: it compiles into Perl, so you may have problems doing that
18:11:39 <AnMaster> ais523, I'm reading that link now
18:11:41 <tusho> ais523: then I'll just interface with perl
18:11:47 <AnMaster> "adding a style guide for INTERCAL to go alongside Google's guides for C++, Java and other languages" XD

18:14:21 <ais523> tusho: it's probably a bad thing that I have a shell-script which reads strings from a file, each of which has ID numbers, and outputs CLC-INTERCAL code designed to output each of those strings
18:14:56 <ais523> actually, not a shell-script
18:15:08 <ais523> but convickt does most of the work
18:15:28 <AnMaster> ais523, ""the division routine of the standard INTERCAL library has a really cool hack that I hadn't seen before"" <-- what is that hack I wonder?
18:15:45 <ais523> AnMaster: it's how to do a greater-than in INTERCAL
18:16:03 <ais523> basically, you look for the most significant bit that differs between the two numbers
18:16:09 <ais523> the greater number will have a 1 in that bit
18:16:28 <ais523> well, it isn't really sane
18:16:34 <AnMaster> I assume that is what a computer does internally?
18:16:35 <ais523> that's the easiest way to do greater-than in INTERCAL

19:07:07 <Slereah_> Well, at least there's lyrics :o
19:07:38 <Slereah_> I want to sing it without looking too retarded.
19:07:43 <tusho> it totally blew my mind at the edit of the credits sequence when it said '1984'
19:07:49 <Slereah_> I can't just sing "INSPECTOR GADGET WOO HOO3
19:07:50 <tusho> HOLY SHIT THERE WERE PEOPLE IN 1984??????????????
19:08:01 <tusho> TELEVISIONS???????
19:08:07 <tusho> THE WORLD WAS IN _COLOUR_?????????

19:09:44 <Slereah_> What the hell did you watch during your childhood.
19:09:46 <tusho> yeah, what did you do
19:09:52 <tusho> maybe he is like actually 3
19:09:55 <tusho> and he's some kind of supercoder
19:09:56 <AnMaster> Slereah_, watch? I didn't have TV
19:10:12 <tusho> maybe he's like 104
19:10:17 <tusho> that would work too
19:10:33 <Slereah_> I mean, not knowing Inspector Gadget or Knight Rider?
19:10:43 <AnMaster> tusho, nah just high hills and around where I lived so no TV was possible
19:10:44 <Slereah_> That takes some hermit powers.
19:10:55 <tusho> Slereah_: i'm a hermit and I know about them
19:11:16 <AnMaster> I live in a town these days though
19:11:33 <Slereah_> AnMaster : Go on the pirate bay
19:11:42 <Slereah_> And download every Inspector Gadget cartoons.
19:11:46 <AnMaster> Slereah_, no time, reading some interesting coding standard documents atm
19:11:47 <tusho> Slereah_: SOUND ADVICE.
19:12:03 <tusho> AnMaster: I'm sure they're like 100x more fun than inspector gadget
19:12:06 <AnMaster> Slereah_, also that would be illegal
19:12:11 <tusho> They're thrilling and exciting!
19:12:14 <AnMaster> tusho, what? US military C++ specs
19:12:24 <Slereah_> What will you do if a guy asks you about Inspector Gadget at gunpoint, AnMaster?
19:12:39 <tusho> Yeah anyone got a gun to lend me?
19:13:03 <tusho> AnMaster: FYI, martial arts aren't very useful when you've just been shot
19:13:09 <Slereah_> He uses some form of Marxist martial art.
19:13:11 <tusho> Unless you're in a kung-fu movie.
19:13:17 <tusho> THE MORE YOU KNOW!
19:14:02 <Slereah_> Fun fact : One of the top dude for "Hand to hand combat killing in a situation of actual war" didn't use martial arts at all.
19:14:52 <tusho> Slereah_: I should try that with ais523
19:15:09 <Slereah_> Well, you could also use a gun
19:15:22 <tusho> Yeah more effective I guess
19:15:33 <tusho> do you think he knows intricate details of each episode of inspector gadget?
19:15:46 <tusho> he'd better unless he's like some kind of extreme masochist who loves being shot
19:16:22 <Slereah_> Well, he seems like a smart lad, solving incredible problems of the 2,3 machine and all
19:16:32 <Slereah_> He's probably wise on the whole Inspector Gadget thing.

19:44:19 <AnMaster> well I'm glad I don't have a cat
19:44:27 <tusho> AnMaster: oh yes, yes they do
19:48:43 <Slereah_> AnMaster : Man, in what kind of hut do you live in Sweden?
19:48:57 <Slereah_> Have you never seen the rampant cat raping problem?
19:50:49 -!- puzzlet_ has joined.
19:54:23 <Slereah_> You would know if you watched Inspector Gadgety
19:54:34 <AnMaster> Slereah_, what about turtles then?
19:55:27 <AnMaster> hm I just got an idea: C with Objects
19:55:31 <AnMaster> it would be less messy than C++
19:55:51 <AnMaster> (yes I know C++ was called C with objects once)
19:59:09 <Deewiant> much smarter idea: help people make Tango work on x86-64
19:59:20 <tusho> Deewiant: no, that'd involve TOUCHING D
19:59:26 <tusho> how can AnMaster do that, with how much it is awful!
19:59:56 <Deewiant> yes, writing your own language from scratch is a much better idea... at least you won't get CONTAMINATED
20:00:22 <tusho> Deewiant: it'll be able to write kernels, too
20:00:28 <tusho> that's important when writing a befunge interpreter
20:01:23 <Deewiant> (but I note that one can write kernels in D, it's been done)
20:01:32 <tusho> Deewiant: but it's NOT EASY
20:01:40 <tusho> how will we develop kernels otherwise?
20:01:46 <tusho> are you a kernel-hating COMMUNIST?
20:02:14 <tusho> Deewiant: I bet you don't even make sure your C code runs faster than POSIX 1.0 interface test module!
20:02:24 <AnMaster> Deewiant, I think D will be nice
20:02:37 <AnMaster> however phobos already does that iirc?
20:02:51 <tusho> once it WORKS PROPERLY
20:02:55 <tusho> it is UNFIXABLY BROKEN
20:03:01 <tusho> because it doesn't work PERFECTLY on x86-64
20:03:15 <Deewiant> I suspect that the main reason phobos works in cases where tango doesn't is that phobos uses the C stdlib to implement much of its functionality
20:03:21 <Deewiant> whereas tango uses kernel calls directly
20:03:47 -!- puzzlet has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)).
20:03:48 <AnMaster> Deewiant, so tango will be hard to port to freebsd and so on
20:04:07 <AnMaster> Deewiant, hm? doesn't both use libc routines?
20:04:17 <AnMaster> you just said tango does syscalls itself
20:04:34 <AnMaster> Deewiant, and no I don't know what you meant
20:04:51 <Deewiant> what I meant is open(2) instead of open(3)
20:07:43 <Deewiant> (and on Windows, that'd be CreateFileW)
20:08:36 * tusho wonders if it's reasonable to require people posting on his blog to have an openid
20:08:38 <tusho> (comments that is)
20:11:18 <pikhq> I think Tango only has a single line of code that doesn't build on x86_64 properly.
20:11:32 <pikhq> I would have fixed it if I knew WTF was going on in said line.
20:11:40 <Deewiant> I pasted 4 open Tango tickets regarding x86_64 yesterday
20:11:44 <tusho> pikhq: What is the line?
20:11:45 <Deewiant> don't know which ones are critical, though.
20:12:01 <tusho> And does anyone have an opinion on what I said? :P
20:12:14 <pikhq> Somewhere in the regexp functions.
20:12:17 <Deewiant> I comment on blogs only very rarely
20:12:29 <Deewiant> so my opinion is probably fairly worthless.
20:12:39 <tusho> Deewiant: It only takes a second to get one: https://www.myopenid.com/
20:12:47 <Deewiant> why get one when I don't need one
20:13:00 <tusho> True. But, like you said, you're unlikely to comment on my blog. :P

20:19:48 <AnMaster> idea for crazy versioning system for software:
20:20:42 <tusho> anyone re: the openid thing?
20:20:48 <AnMaster> instead of alpha, beta, and so on, use omega, and backwards
20:21:23 <AnMaster> so it would be: omega, psi, chi, phi, ...

20:27:37 <tusho> AnMaster: yeah, I don't think I need your opinion
20:27:40 -!- puzzlet_ has quit (Remote closed the connection).
20:27:59 <Slereah_> I mean, I thought it was alpha->beta->finished
20:28:50 <AnMaster> Slereah_, gamma would be release candidate?
20:28:50 <Slereah_> Let's talk of old cartoons to confuse AnMaster.
20:48:14 <tusho> oklopol: Do you have an OpenID?
21:02:51 <tusho> cctoide: do you have an openid

23:36:16 <oklopol> unless you can have it without knowing it.
23:36:33 <tusho> oklopol: if you read the most awesome post about oko code on my blog and you wanted to leave a comment about how much you love me
23:36:45 <tusho> would you still do it if you had to take about 2 seconds to get an openid at https://www.myopenid.com/
23:36:49 <tusho> before you could post it
23:37:40 <tusho> oklopol: hmmmmmmmmmm?
23:38:04 <oklopol> i'm really just popping by
23:38:17 <tusho> this is still super important <______________________________________________<
23:39:35 <tusho> oklopol: WELL??????????????????????????!111111111111 ;_________;
23:40:22 <tusho> oklopol: oh good. so you would take the time
23:40:25 <oklopol> didn't get the confirmation thingie yet.
23:40:37 <tusho> oklopol: o, btw. this is what you can now put into any openid enabled site
23:40:40 <tusho> oklopol.myopenid.com
23:40:43 <tusho> and use it without signing up
23:41:05 <tusho> Which basically amounts to putting oklopol.myopenid.com in the OpenID field on my blog, really. :P
23:42:06 <oklopol> i made it send the confirmation to oklopol@gmain.com :)
23:42:44 <oklopol> i typoed gmail->gmain already once today
23:42:48 <tusho> oklopol: when you get it working make sure you set your name thing to 'oklopol'
23:42:54 <tusho> otherwise on my blahhg it'll show as oklopol.myopenid.com
23:42:59 <tusho> which sux more than 'oklopol'
23:43:27 <oklopol> i don't really know how to get it working now
23:43:44 <tusho> oklopol: you could resign up as oklofok
23:44:15 <tusho> surely there's something you can do
23:44:17 <oklopol> but i'm going to sleep now, so another day.
23:44:29 <oklopol> they will hopefully drop me after a while
