15:58:15 <ehird> Deewiant: any links? I seem to recall it being interesting :P
15:59:08 <Deewiant> no links I'm afraid; with any luck I'll publish some kind of 0.0 this year
16:00:18 <Deewiant> if you want to look at something you can have it on request: my home site's file, source tarball
16:01:09 <ehird> Deewiant: either would be appreciated :-P it'd also be nice to read more real-world haskell programs... I haven't got very good at that yet :D
16:02:21 <Deewiant> iki.fi/deewiant/temp/Adjutant.hs for the former
16:02:41 <Deewiant> not designed for readability or anything though :-P
16:02:50 <ehird> Deewiant: i think it might be an idea to give the file a less obscure name ;-P
16:03:32 <ehird> but Coadjute would be googled more than Adjutant I imagine
16:04:02 <Deewiant> yeah, but it'd be nice if Coadjute and X made some sense together so X = Adjutant :-P

16:08:50 <Deewiant> rule basically makes a build rule :-P
16:09:26 <Deewiant> I forget its type, which would probably (should hopefully) help in deciphering
16:16:49 * ehird opens emacs and grumbles
16:17:21 <Deewiant> why open it if it induces grumbling
16:17:37 <ehird> because editing haskell is near-impossible in anything else
16:17:56 <ehird> yeah that's because you're a masochist
16:18:17 <ehird> Deewiant: I have to learn Arrows now, don't I?
16:18:28 <ehird> import Control.Arrow (first, second)
16:18:38 <ehird> Fuck you Haskellers and your academia and your DAMNED LIES. :-|
16:18:54 <ehird> why is that in Control dot bloody Arrow
16:19:09 <Deewiant> because they're AMAZINGLY GENERAL
16:19:10 <ehird> "WHERE SHOULD WE PUT THESE TRIVIAL FUNCTIONS? LET'S PICK A RANDOM ACADEMIC PLACE"
16:19:27 <Deewiant> it's more of a coincidence that they're handy for those trivial uses, I think
16:19:34 <Deewiant> but yeah, Data.Tuple should really have those.
16:19:35 <ehird> versionString :: String
16:19:35 <ehird> versionString = "the ultimate version of ultimate destiny"
16:19:41 <ehird> that is some version.
16:19:55 <Deewiant> that's one reason why it's not released yet. ;-)
16:19:57 * ehird spawns a new haskell frame and proceeds to steal your basic app structure
16:20:17 <Deewiant> oh noes, what are you doing with my app structure
16:20:33 <ehird> umm, making an app that I haven't actually figured out what it is yet
16:21:07 <ehird> agh what the new frame shares the same buffers
16:21:12 <ehird> how the hell do you just get a new blank frame in emacs

16:39:00 <ehird> grumble haskell lacking basic things grumble
16:42:56 <ehird> also: grumble at field names being unnamespaced functions
16:45:52 <Warrigal> It'd be nice if Haskell had global variables.
16:47:12 <ehird> Deewiant: what do you do when you want to have two records with fields named the same
16:47:57 <Warrigal> You can't have "myVar <- makeIORef" as a statement in your program, and if you put it in main, then you can't refer to it outside of main.
16:48:21 <Warrigal> I guess you could use those fancy implicit parameters.
16:48:56 <ehird> Warrigal: why do you want a global variable?
16:49:00 <ehird> you might as well just use an imperative language.
16:49:29 <Warrigal> No, because Haskell has features that imperative langauges do not.
16:50:03 <ehird> and they work because it's a functional language
16:50:07 <Warrigal> Don't say "if you want A, you might as well do B" if B has problems that the alternative does not.
16:50:27 <ehird> imperative+globvars has less probs than haskell+globvars.

17:32:37 <ehird> it's not that great
17:32:42 <ehird> maybe i'll write redivider in haskell
17:33:03 <Warrigal> Redivider, that language that's actually Parsec.
17:33:57 <ehird> Although you can parse it. With Parsec.
17:34:05 <ehird> and yes, I know it's yours.

18:05:34 <Deewiant> ehird: you don't have two records with fields named the same :-P
18:05:43 <ehird> Deewiant: why not :|

18:06:03 -!- moozilla has joined.
18:06:04 <ehird> I know but it should be fancy
18:06:05 <Deewiant> and what do you do when you want two functions named the same
18:06:12 <ehird> Because it could be really useful.
18:06:21 <Deewiant> answer: either you don't, or you put them in separate modules and do qualified imports and whatnot
18:06:35 <Deewiant> It is useful, it's not 'really useful' though, yes.
18:06:51 <Deewiant> I think there've been some papers on the subject of improving it but nobody really knows what's the best idea
18:07:25 <ehird> I should learn how to read and edit the GHC source and how to make a nice Haskell language extension, then make a patchset for nice records and get it widely used.
18:07:31 <ehird> Wait no, I'd rather shoot myself in the face.

18:11:25 <Deewiant> I've tried for the past two months or so to get GHC to compile on Windows so I could hack on it (mostly the RTS and stuff to fix Windows-only bugs), but no luck
18:11:42 <ehird> isn't it written in really old-style haskell?
18:11:52 <ehird> iirc it has its own monad definition somewhere from before they were used for io and stuff
18:13:20 <oerjan> um ghc is written in ghc haskell
18:13:48 <Deewiant> I'm not sure what you mean by "old-style" but AFAIK no
18:21:48 <ehird> well someone in #haskell just said that the code was dated
18:26:04 <Deewiant> well yeah, it's "dated" but I think "style" might be the wrong word here
18:26:18 <Deewiant> one big thing is that it doesn't use hierarchical modules, it just prefixes everything
18:26:23 -!- Judofyr has joined.
18:26:29 <Deewiant> so instead of Foo.Bar.baz you have FooBarbaz or even FBbaz if you're unlucky

22:48:01 <oklopol> all the celebration stuff is 24
22:48:22 <fizzie> But 24th is still called "christmas eve", while 25th and 26th are the two christmas days.
22:48:24 <oklopol> kinda like 26 only it has a name
22:48:34 <oklopol> 26 is a christmas day too?
22:48:42 <ehird> why would you celebrate onthe day before the event
22:49:09 <oklopol> ehird: who gives a boobie?
22:49:14 <fizzie> oklopol: I think I've heard it called "toinen joulupäivä" (lit. second christmas day).
22:49:24 <ehird> 25th is so much more logical
22:49:32 <oklopol> fizzie: hmm sounds familiar indeed
22:49:45 <fizzie> oklopol: http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joulu agrees with me.
22:50:04 <oklopol> ehird: no it isn't, no one wants to celebrate during the day, so it's nicer to be celebrating when christmas day is at its darkest, just starting

22:50:45 <oklopol> you don't happen to know what the book is?
22:51:42 <fizzie> oklopol: It's "William Stallings: Operating Systems: Internals and Design Principles". Wasn't Modern Operating Systems the Tanenbaum book? If so, that's the one they used for the old OS course.
22:52:18 <oklopol> our operating systems course prof is looking for another book now, guess i know what he'll choose then.
22:52:42 <oklopol> and yeah it's the tanenbaum book
22:52:52 <ehird> tanenbaum argued with linus torvalds in like 1992 about linux

22:53:50 <oklopol> his kernel was mostly made out of guts
22:53:59 <fizzie> oklopol: I also know there's a statistics exam (or maybe just the second mid-term thing) tomorrow, if you like that more.
22:54:17 <oklopol> fizzie: i don't know anything about statistics
22:54:33 <oklopol> well at least i think i don't
22:55:03 <fizzie> Well, the operating systems sounds like your best bet, then.
22:55:30 <ehird> despite not being alive
22:55:42 <oklopol> yeah, although i somehow feel MOS might have less content than OSIDP
22:55:50 <oklopol> i mean, have you read the book?
22:56:20 <oklopol> i mean, i love it, it's full of details and can suddenly burst into a list of a thousand algorithms
22:56:27 <fizzie> The (new) course probably won't be very in-depth, though.
22:56:49 <oklopol> but somehow it still seems to only scratch the surface
22:57:19 <oklopol> ("now, for no reason, let's go over how jpg's work!")
22:58:08 <oklopol> ("so now that we're discussing drivers, how about we take a look at how cd's work and talk a few pages about their history?")
22:58:29 <oklopol> well true, usually courses tend to get easier, not harder
23:01:08 <oklopol> and indeed, our prof is looking for a "less theoretical" book
23:01:11 <oklopol> i guess that means simpler
23:05:10 <fizzie> I'm pretty sure the Tanenbaum "LINUX is obsolete" newspost[1] was mentioned during the OS course, though. It's quite a classic. [1] http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.minix/msg/f447530d082cd95d
23:05:56 <fizzie> "I would suggest that people who want a **MODERN** "free" OS look around for a microkernel-based, portable OS, like maybe GNU or something like that."
23:06:11 <oklopol> our os course consists of reading the book and taking the exam
23:06:14 <fizzie> Haven't heard much news about Hurd lately.
23:06:44 <ehird> fizzie: well, chinese democracy and python3 are out
23:06:47 <ehird> anything is possible
23:06:58 <fizzie> oklopol: You mean there weren't any lectures?
23:07:10 <oklopol> fizzie: well there were 6 lectures
23:07:21 <oklopol> but i didn't attend them, and they were just an introduction
23:07:50 <oklopol> but yeah the first os course in our uni is just a book exam
23:08:19 <fizzie> I think our course had at least one weekly lecture for a whole half-year term. Still, I think I mostly took the "read the book" approach.
23:08:20 <ehird> http://superunprivileged.org/ "hurd advocacy page"; second line: rms' awful free software song
23:08:24 <ehird> I think that says it all
23:10:48 <fizzie> We have an "operating system project" add-on course for those who are interested; they start with some skeleton code (used to be stripped-down nachos -- http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/tom/nachos/ -- but now is buenos -- http://www.niksula.hut.fi/~buenos/buenos.html ) and they have to implement the usual things like file systems, virtual memory and things like that.
23:10:49 -!- GregorR has quit (Remote closed the connection).
23:11:39 <oklopol> your uni is so much cooler
23:12:02 <fizzie> I'm just advertising; in reality it sucks.
23:12:18 <fizzie> But maybe not as much as it could.
23:12:26 <oklopol> but, i'm thinking maybe leaving abroad after ...my candidate?
23:12:34 <ehird> oklopol come to england!
23:12:43 <oklopol> i might graduate next year
23:12:47 <ehird> we have 0 civil liberties and the weather sucks and it's boring
23:12:49 <ehird> and we're all idiots
23:12:53 <ehird> what more could you want
23:12:55 <fizzie> Bachelor's degree is the semi-equivalent term, I think.
23:13:07 <fizzie> I skipped the OS project, but I've heard comments that as far as university coursework goes, it was one of the more interesting ones.
23:13:24 <oklopol> well that's not very surprising imo
23:13:44 <fizzie> If you want no civil liberties and sucky weather, I don't think you really have to leave Finland.
23:13:47 <oklopol> they can't leave the fun stuff out because they'd have to leave everything out
23:14:13 <oklopol> i have all the liberties i could wish for
23:14:14 <ehird> civil liberties = freedom to do shit.
23:14:24 <ehird> in the UK, everyone's a terrorist.
23:14:36 <ehird> fizzie: uhh, isn't the finland like super-liberal compared to uk/us?
23:14:56 <fizzie> ehird: We're still working on getting rid of those, yes, but I'm sure they're catching up.
23:15:16 <ehird> proto: #esoteric nation
23:15:21 <ehird> nomics can come too.
23:17:16 <fizzie> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_micronations is surprisingly long.
23:17:43 <oklopol> not really, everyone wants one of those, only natural a small percentage gets it
23:17:53 <fizzie> Some of the one-phrase descriptions are amusing. Like "BjornSocialist Republic": "A self-proclaimed Marxist state of about 6 square metres (7.18 sq yd) located on a stone "that looks like a tractor" in Lake Immeln, Scania, Sweden."
23:18:03 <fizzie> oklopol: But it's Wikipedia; all those are Notable(tm)!
23:20:15 <oerjan> there needs to be a really micro nation. just 15 micrometers across.
23:20:34 <ehird> oerjan: 15 micrometers of my table declare independence from the england
23:21:00 <oklopol> soon accidentally the whole world
23:23:02 <fizzie> Speaking of nations, I am amused by the shape of the Finland/Sweden border at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Märket
23:27:05 <oklopol> i am amused by bjarne not even trying to explain the things that suck about c++
23:27:35 <oklopol> he just says "unfortunately c++ does this", and puts a sad face after the sentence ":("
23:29:22 <fizzie> Java VM uses two slots of the .class file constant table for long/double (read: 8-byte) values; and they've bothered to add a footnote about that in the specification: "In retrospect, making 8-byte constants take two constant pool entries was a poor choice."
23:29:48 <fizzie> They really should've added a ":(" after that one.
23:31:39 <ehird> 23:31 oklopol: i don't understand
23:31:41 <ehird> Cherish this moment.
23:33:04 <oklopol> i'm assuming the constant table is just some kinda big array
23:33:28 <fizzie> Yes, but it already has entries of variable sizes; like strings and things like that.
23:34:07 <fizzie> I guess it's a bit confusing when two specific entry types (for no particularly good reason) suddenly take up two slots in the table.
23:36:23 <oklopol> bjarne does advertise this other book about the process of making c++
23:36:34 <oklopol> perhaps he'd explain the weird stuff there
23:37:32 <fizzie> Or maybe he just says "It's like this because I screwed up here. ;/ :( X-D"
23:38:04 <ehird> "Lol, I fuxxored up this part of the threading. sry :(("
23:38:38 <oklopol> threading doesn't have much room in a book about c++
23:49:48 -!- moozilla has joined.
23:50:47 -!- KingOfKarlsruhe has joined.
23:52:42 -!- Mony has quit ("Quit").
23:53:21 <AnMaster> <fizzie> oklopol: I think I've heard it called "toinen joulupäivä" (lit. second christmas day).
23:53:55 <AnMaster> which sounds silly in Swedish too
