12:25:34 <fizzie> MATLAB <3. The function "logspace(x1,x2,n)" returns n logarithmically spaced points in the range [10^x1, 10^x2]... except as a special case, if x2 is pi, the range is [10^x1, pi] and not [10^x1, 10^pi].
12:26:16 <fizzie> It is even implemented by special-casing: if d2 == pi || d2 == single(pi); d2 = log10(d2); end
12:27:10 <fizzie> It's full of this kind of stuff that's obviously done so that old MATLAB code doesn't break.
12:27:55 <tusho> god i hate backwards compatibility
12:28:12 <fizzie> Another example: in normal expressions, && is a short-circuiting logical and, while & always evaluates both sides... except that in a "if foo & bar; ..." statement, and only there, the & operator is also short-circuiting.

12:31:27 <fizzie> >> if ~~(fprintf('foo!\n') | fprintf('bar!\n')); fprintf('ha ha, confused you!\n'); end
12:31:48 <fizzie> The magic falls of if I add a not-not in front. (MATLAB uses ~ as unary logical not.)
12:32:34 <fizzie> Also none of the help pages for &, | or "if" document the insanity. At least "help logspace" mentions the pi thing.
12:33:21 <fizzie> Although I did assume a typo when I saw it there. "LOGSPACE(X1, X2) generates a row vector of 50 logarithmically equally spaced points between decades 10^X1 and 10^X2. If X2 is pi, then the points are between 10^X1 and pi."
12:34:17 <oklogod> yeah that sounds like an examples
12:34:35 <oklogod> because there's nothing else it could sensibly be
12:34:56 <oklogod> btw. that's a pretty weird function even without the pi thing
12:35:23 <fizzie> The three-argument form takes the number of points as the third argument.
12:35:40 <fizzie> I guess it's 50 because it's a "sensible" amount of points if you're using it like plot(logspace(x1, x2), ...).
12:35:56 <oklogod> most likely, that doesn't make it any less ugly.
12:39:43 <oklogod> does matlab suck altogether?
12:39:58 <fizzie> Not completely, but it's definitely not pretty.
12:40:13 <oklogod> how do you solve a set of equations?
12:40:52 <oklogod> i'm not sure what its use was
12:42:27 <fizzie> Like this: (not your example, though)
12:42:29 <fizzie> >> A = [1 2 3;.3 .1 .2;.7 .8 .9]; y = [2;4;6];
12:45:18 <oklogod> feel like explaining a bit?
12:46:56 <fizzie> Well, to use another notation, the previous one solved the set of equations {1*x1 + 0.3*x2 + 0.7*x3 = 2; 2*x1 + 0.1*x2 + 0.8*x3 = 4; 3*x1 + 0.2*x2 + 0.9*x3 = 6}.
12:47:10 <fizzie> Giving x1 = 15.8889, x2 = -4.7778, x3 = -1.4444.
12:48:29 <fizzie> Linear algebra (read: matrices) is what people usually use MATLAB for; it doesn't really do symbolic manipulation at all. Or maybe a little bit, but not much. It's no Mathematica (or Maple).
12:48:40 <oklogod> i thought you were literally solving Ax = y <=> x = y/A, it looked incorrect.
12:49:37 <fizzie> "A\y" is pretty close to "inv(A)*y" except that it's computed differently.
12:49:46 -!- Corun has joined.
12:50:05 <fizzie> And it does the "sensible" thing (least-squares solution) if you give it a non-square matrix A, which would correspond to over- or undetermined system of equations.
12:52:10 <fizzie> There is some symbolic equation-solving, though.
12:52:18 <fizzie> >> t = solve('x=2*y', 'y=35*y^2+x');
12:52:39 <fizzie> If I'm reading it right, it seems to say that {x=0, y=0} and {x=-2/35, y=-1/35} are solutions for that.
12:53:37 <fizzie> You'd have to be pretty desperate to use MATLAB for symbolic algebraisms, though.
12:53:38 <oklogod> solving from strings representing the equations isn't terribly elegant
12:53:59 <fizzie> Yes, it's sort-of bolted in and not part of the core functionality.
12:55:55 <tusho> SORT-OF BOLTED IN AND NOT PART OF THE CORE FUNCTIONALITY.

13:21:48 <oklogod> interesting way to express large numbers: "For example, it can be shown that there are 33, 665, 406 possible expressions over the numbers 1, 3, 7, 10, 25, 50, but only 4, 672, 540 of these expressions evaluate successfully, which is just under 14%."

14:23:27 -!- oklocop has joined.
14:29:40 <AnMaster> I'm overengineering another assignment, this time C++ (introductory)
14:37:17 <oklocop> ais523: just as a warning, i want to show you some ideas about muture in the near future, and i may even be hoping for you to help me implement it.
14:37:31 <ais523> hmm... if I have time, I may help
14:37:36 <oklocop> muture is the declarative language i was creating, if you recall the levenshtein example
14:37:42 <ais523> it would be nice to have a concrete target to aim for that isn't too difficult
14:37:50 <ais523> unlike something like Feather which keeps running away when I think about it
14:38:18 <oklocop> muture is very, very declarative.
14:38:44 <oklocop> as it turns out, it actually encompasses the concept of heuristic function for the searches quite neatly
14:38:48 <oklocop> which i didn't even realize before
14:39:03 <oklocop> muture's basic tool is the "make as great as possible" operator >>
14:39:22 <ais523> hmm... will it have a "make equal" operator?
14:39:28 <ais523> you can express that in terms of >>
14:39:33 <ais523> but might not want to for optimisation reasons
14:39:50 <oklocop> the "make equal" is optimized.
14:40:05 <oklocop> anyway, you cannot create more of these operators, they are kinda high-level
14:40:17 <oklocop> also the language is not meant to be that flexible in terms of types and such
14:40:22 <oklocop> you have lists, and numbers
14:40:30 <oklocop> and functions, of course, but no lambdas
14:40:55 <oklocop> there are very neat optimizations you can do, of which i hope to be able to show a few examples soon
14:41:19 <oklocop> the levenshtein example, if i'm not mistaken, should actually directly "compile" to the imperative version everyone knows
14:42:05 <oklocop> by the use of a technique i like to call "memoization structure optimization" (invented on the fly)
14:42:18 <ais523> well, I know what memoization is
14:42:22 <ais523> but how does it apply to structures?
14:42:36 <oklocop> the idea is, you don't have to have a generic memoization
14:42:52 <oklocop> it would use a two-dimensional array for levenshtein
14:43:14 <oklocop> also usually you couldn't actually memoize something like this
14:43:45 <oklocop> because the minimum or maximum of a recursed case may not always lead to the minimum / maximum of the global case
14:44:40 <AnMaster> hm RPN... what is non-reverse polish notation?
14:44:48 <ais523> AnMaster: like RPN but backwards
14:44:52 <ais523> you put the operator at the start
14:45:06 <oklocop> yeah, except both have operators in the same order
14:45:17 <ais523> (2 + 3) * 4 in infix is 2 3 + 4 * in RPN or * + 2 3 4 in Polish
14:45:28 <oklocop> yes, that was a mental typo
14:45:50 <oklocop> buttt, i'm in quite a hurry, actually.
14:45:55 <AnMaster> you can think of RPN as a stack, but I can't create any mental reference frame for Polish...
14:46:11 <oklocop> gotta go buy some shoes, although i'm not actually going to buy shoes but food ->
14:46:22 <oklocop> AnMaster: can you for infix?
14:47:01 <AnMaster> oklocop, you mean "normal" notation? Then well it is possible to think about it, though in certain ways RPN make more sense
14:47:02 <oklocop> also polish notation is what you use when using functions in, for instance, erlang.
14:47:12 <oklocop> plus(minus(1,2),multiply(45,6))
14:47:50 <oklocop> except when you know the arities of functions, you don't need the parens
14:48:05 -!- Corun_ has joined.
14:48:27 <AnMaster> oklocop, You do use parens in Erlang, and I never seen mentioned that it was optional
14:48:38 * AnMaster goes to test in an erlang shell
14:48:44 <tusho> oklocop: i am not going to explain things to AnMaster
14:48:48 <tusho> i value my sanity, yo
14:49:09 <oklocop> i meant, you don't need, coinceptually
14:49:28 <ais523> I think oklocop means that functions are normally written in prefix notation, in all languages
14:49:35 <tusho> in prefix notation
14:49:39 <tusho> if you know the arities of all functions
14:49:41 <tusho> you can omit parens
14:49:42 <ais523> and if the arity is known the parens are redundant because you can deduce them from the arities
14:49:55 <tusho> closest to that is lisp
14:49:56 <AnMaster> tusho, yes except most languages doesn't allow omitting them
14:49:59 <tusho> (+ (* 5 2) (/ 1 0))
14:50:06 <tusho> AnMaster: dfhsu akaesthilru2314892u18902412349u89234
14:50:19 <tusho> oklocop said conceptually, then i did.
14:50:26 <tusho> third time's the charm?
14:50:39 <oklocop> AnMaster: it doesn't, except on top-level.
14:51:08 <AnMaster> but yes then the notation makes sense
14:52:07 <ais523> tusho: actually I think Perl functions work without parens polish-style if you tell it the arities via prototypes
14:52:15 <ais523> Perl prototypes change the syntax of the language like that
14:52:22 <tusho> ais523: oklocop said perl
14:52:33 <ais523> actually, AnMaster said it first
14:52:33 <tusho> but can you do this with prototypes and perl:
14:52:40 <tusho> plus times 5, 2 divide 1, 0
14:52:52 <tusho> plus(times(5,2), divide(1,0))
14:52:58 <tusho> if not... then not really parenless polish notation
14:53:04 <ais523> it would be plus times 5, 2, divide 1, 0
14:53:07 <ais523> and I think it does work
14:53:11 <ais523> apart from the division by 0
14:53:36 <tusho> btw http://trixter.wordpress.com/2008/09/28/the-diskette-that-blew-trixters-mind/
14:55:47 <ais523> tusho: nope, it doesn't work
14:55:58 <tusho> that would make for some great eso code
14:56:06 <tusho> make tons of little functions out of prototypes
14:56:14 <tusho> then write the whole program as one parenless expression full of calls to them
14:56:28 <tusho> you could possibly even get it readable
14:56:36 <ais523> just the Perl parser isn't good enough to figure it out, I think

15:17:46 <fizzie> I don't think Perl's parser really keeps track of the exact arity when parsing code, just some overall "style" of the function. If I do "sub plus ($$) {...}" and try to call it like "print plus 1, 2, "\n";" it just complains about too many arguments to plus, since it has parsed it to be print plus(1, 2, "\n"); The prototype just helps it recognize "plus" as a function.

16:01:05 <AnMaster> tusho, certainly I can, but that depends on what sort of art you prefer. I even like some modern art, but I prefer classical stuff
16:01:08 <tusho> EXPENSIVE? domains?

16:01:22 <tusho> yes, £4 a year is very expensive
16:02:39 <tusho> AnMaster: i was just taking the piss, but i guess that's a bit silly of me since I like this: http://www.qotile.net/blog/wp/?p=564 (Note: Websites background is designed to destroy your eyes with its crazy animation.)
16:03:13 <AnMaster> (Note: I got gif animation repeat turned off)

16:08:00 <AnMaster> http://esolangs.org/wiki/Malbolge_Unshackled <-- hm, ais523.... gcc-malbolge but for that turing complete version?
16:08:35 <Slereah> Soon, we'll get our programming project
16:08:40 <Slereah> And I have an unclean urge
16:08:54 <Slereah> I want to hand in, with the C version, a Scheme version and a Python version.
16:09:13 <Slereah> Or possibly some more efficient functional language
16:09:35 <ais523> hmm... anyone know a good guide on Ocaml?
16:09:43 <ais523> I think my university project for this year's Ocaml-based
16:10:03 <Slereah> Although really, our programming projects are usually really low level
16:10:09 <ais523> tusho: original Malbolge definitely isn't
16:10:16 <Slereah> Which is why they teach us so little of it
16:10:16 <ais523> because it has limited storage, thus is a finite-state machine
16:10:22 <tusho> ais523: that's not part of the spec
16:10:33 <ais523> memory's listed to 59049 10-trit words
16:10:47 <tusho> malbolge is 'turing complete beyond memory constrains'
16:10:53 <tusho> aka...all real-life systems ever
16:11:27 <ais523> except that it's arguable whether 59049 words is enough to do anything useful
16:11:51 <ais523> it's easily enough for many other more practical languages
16:12:04 <ais523> AnMaster: also I have basically no idea how to compile into Malbolge
16:14:18 -!- Slereah has set topic: the entire backlog of #esoteric: http://tunes.org/~nef/logs/esoteric | probably ``releases the stream" would be better because java does not distinguish much between the reference and the object it refers to - Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light..

16:15:21 <tusho> we have no manual topics in HERE mister
16:15:47 <ais523> there was a game of Lost Kingdoms going on in #esoteric?
16:16:05 <ais523> anyway, I never got past the bit with the animal that eats you and which seems impossible to attack
16:16:23 <ais523> nor did I ever bother to finish reverse-engineering Lost Kingdoms back to the original source so I could see how to solve it
16:17:45 <tusho> ais523: ask the author?
16:18:50 <ais523> it's a common phrase in English
16:18:55 <AnMaster> brainfuck should be pretty hard to reverse engineer...
16:19:02 <ais523> but I have the source to BFBASIC
16:19:19 <ais523> so by analysing BFBASIC to see how it generates code I may have a shot at decompiling Lost Kingdoms
16:19:33 <ais523> probably I can't be bothered, though
16:19:37 <AnMaster> ais523, except they ran some optimiser over it iirc
16:20:03 <AnMaster> that change +-- into - and such
16:20:20 <ais523> but that's less important
16:20:24 <ais523> decoding the program flow helps
16:20:29 <ais523> and extracting strings would particularly help
16:20:35 <ais523> for a lost-kingdoms-like program
16:24:10 <AnMaster> ais523, does gcc-bf optimise away ++-- and such?
16:24:19 <ais523> it will do in a postprocessing pass
16:24:24 <ais523> but I don't think that can be generated in the first place
16:24:37 <ais523> it does optimise away ><, which can be

16:37:07 <AnMaster> ais523, how do you handle -c option?
16:37:13 <AnMaster> that is object files not executables
16:38:26 <ais523> but most of gcc-bf's processing is done in asm
16:38:35 <ais523> which it converts to brainfuck right at the end

17:58:33 <AnMaster> C++ backtraces are very hard to read IMO
17:58:37 <AnMaster> std::basic_istream<char, std::char_traits<char> >& std::getline<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >(std::basic_istream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >&, char)
17:58:59 <ais523> well, that gives all the information you need
17:59:13 <AnMaster> ais523, yes but it takes like 10 seconds to find the function name
17:59:33 <ais523> that is the function name
18:00:11 <AnMaster> std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >& <-- isn't that same as std::string&
18:01:02 <tusho> AnMaster: nontrivial to get that
18:01:07 <tusho> impossible, probably
18:01:20 <AnMaster> tusho, depends, it could store that in the debug info
18:01:37 <AnMaster> since I already used -ggdb3 I obviously didn't bind binary size ;P

20:21:26 <tusho> i just lost the game
20:21:29 <oerjan> replacing k by c gave one link, in english
20:21:44 <oerjan> i avoid losing the game by rejecting the rules
20:22:10 <tusho> Rule 1. You are playing the game
20:22:14 <tusho> no getting out of that
20:22:24 <ais523> the game deludes its players into thinking everyone is playing
20:22:30 <ais523> those of us who aren't playing know better
20:22:32 <tusho> ais523: look, the game doesn't actually make sense
20:22:35 <tusho> and can't make people play
20:22:37 <tusho> everyone knows that
20:22:42 <tusho> it's called "but it's funnier this way"
20:23:08 <oerjan> but rejecting the rules can be funny if you do it high-brow enough
20:23:22 <oerjan> say, write a philosophic tome on the concept
20:23:30 <tusho> oerjan: yes, but you didn't
20:24:52 <oerjan> ah, vikramacarita gives more hits
20:26:21 <oerjan> tusho: i alluded to it, which is obviously funnier than reading a 600 page tome
20:28:35 <GregorR> If rule 1 of the game is that you're playing the game, that's a null rule: If you're not playing the game, you're not following its rules, so the fact that one of its rules is that you're playing the game is irrelevant. If you are following the rules, you're playing the game, so the fact that a rule says you're playing the game is redundant.
