00:01:33 <ehird> it's on bf algos pag
00:01:37 <ehird> http://esolangs.org
00:02:21 <[helloworld]> i mean something like if i type Z from keyboard it should return me A
00:03:22 <oerjan> that's a little ... vague
00:03:37 <ehird> do you know what modulo is ?
00:04:23 <ehird> but it's on the wiki, if you are
00:05:02 <[helloworld]> or something like that, i don't remember ascii values now
00:05:36 <[helloworld]> so maybe whats the trickier method to do that: read char if it's Z return A, otherwise return that char?
00:06:00 <kerlo> Add a constant, take it modulo 26, add another constant.
00:06:42 <[helloworld]> kerlo, yes, i meant that, but ehird said it's wrong way
00:07:11 <[helloworld]> maybe it's better method using smething like if()?
00:07:16 <ehird> what you're saying doesn't make much sense, really, but for {Z->A;x->x}, modulo would work.
00:07:17 <kerlo> To be precise: add 14, take it modulo 26, add 65.
00:07:46 <[helloworld]> ehird, do you think is better way to solve that?
00:07:59 <oerjan> [helloworld]: you're meaning rot-N of letters? that's not the same as modulo but modulo can be used to implement it. in bf that's probably overkill though.
00:08:00 <ehird> Just check its value
00:08:00 <kerlo> [helloworld]: my modulo method works perfectly fine if you know the input is A-Z.
00:08:06 <ehird> [helloworld]: try this
00:08:40 <oklopol> well there's a 1/26 chance you're right
00:08:50 <[helloworld]> kerlo, ik now that but i have problems with codein' modulo in BF
00:08:57 <kerlo> No, the chance is decidedly greater. :-P
00:09:00 <ehird> i just told you that
00:09:12 <oerjan> ehird: the wiki is practically down
00:09:15 <oklopol> kerlo: oh was 14 for adding one?
00:09:30 <oerjan> i couldn't get the page a moment ago
00:09:39 <ehird> [helloworld]: http://esolangs.org/wiki/Brainfuck_algorithms#Divmod_algorithm
00:09:43 <oklopol> i assumed rot-13, because clearly you'd add 14 to rotate by 13.
00:09:45 <ehird> just ignore the div result
00:10:00 <[helloworld]> oklopol, so my algorithm will be do something like rot-1
00:10:10 <ehird> for all other letters, it'd id
00:10:17 <ehird> all you're doing is s/Z/A/
00:10:56 <oklopol> [helloworld]: kinda trivial to do that special case, just inc, and check if z+1
00:11:31 <oklopol> ...you can do an if right?
00:12:02 <ehird> oklopol is so funny
00:12:23 <oklopol> i didn't know what he was referring to.
00:12:24 <[helloworld]> i have been searching if condition if brainfuck but really can't find :/
00:12:32 <oklopol> right, so that's your prob
00:12:38 <oklopol> just check the algo page or think about it a bit
00:13:04 <oklopol> one solution is to use one bit of extra state info to get the loop to be done just once
00:13:04 <[helloworld]> ok, thanks a lot, i gona read it and try to code it ;) cya

00:13:50 <oklopol> anyway ehird i don't really see how you can nag about my not being sure what he meant after being a jackass to him until that point
00:14:05 <oklopol> or maybe you actually didn't get him, dunno, same thing.
00:14:07 <ehird> i was being a jackass? news to me.
00:14:18 <ehird> he wasn't stating his problem clearly. i told him this.
00:14:34 <oklopol> you see i'm fucking pissed at myself atm.
00:14:46 <oklopol> and because i'm also very tired, i can't separate you from me.
00:14:50 <oklopol> because we're one of a kind
00:15:40 <ehird> oklopol; so are you green
00:16:39 <oklopol> shall i assume the literal sense?
00:18:16 <oklopol> well anyway, i'm green in all senses and nonsenses
00:18:29 <oklopol> and my computer is so hot it hurts my lap
00:19:20 <Slereah_> Are you hot in the lap, oklopol? <3
00:20:45 <AnMaster> ehird, I don't get 1/0 strip 130...
00:21:18 <ehird> Either nonsense or a reference to a contemporary comic circa 2001.
00:21:24 <ehird> Which I have no idea.
00:22:05 <oerjan> AnMaster: it refers to a jar mentioned in one of the very first comics
00:22:18 <ehird> Well, x is a contemporary of x...
00:22:20 <oerjan> which indeed is taken from another comic
00:22:56 <oerjan> the jar and barnacle jones (iirc) was stolen from another comic
00:23:02 <oerjan> as the very first characters
00:23:16 <AnMaster> oerjan, yeah I didn't get barnacle jones...
00:23:19 <oerjan> (well the jar wasn't a character)
00:23:34 <ehird> AnMaster: dude, read the annotations
00:23:38 <ehird> they pop up every few strips
00:23:51 <ehird> AnMaster: you are reading the undefined.net/1/0/ version right
00:24:11 <ehird> they appear right below the comic :P
00:24:20 <ehird> Check out this comic for an explanation of "Barnacle" Jones' origins!
00:24:20 <ehird> I have yet to get the authour's explicit permission to use this strip this way. If anyone knows how I can get in touch with him, please help!

00:30:44 <oerjan> it's a new language, posted today
00:31:50 <oerjan> which the inventor said was almost impossible to program, but it isn't.

00:39:53 <kerlo> If I understand correctly, it's easy to decrement a whole bunch of times and then do something.
00:40:19 <kerlo> Just alternate between blank lines, lines containing nothing but -, and lines that actually contain useful stuff.
00:41:29 <oerjan> yep, and then the rest of it is to note that a sufficient large triangle can increment
00:49:13 <oerjan> hm it is also easy to do several useful things on one line, since all the decrements are done on the previous line
00:53:18 <kerlo> Don't call something difficult unless you invented it three years ago, it's simple, and still nobody knows whether it's Turing-complete or not. :-)
00:58:25 * kerlo goes through all the languages older than /// in [[Category:Unknown computational class]] and tries to determine whether they're Turing-complete or not

09:09:19 <oklopol> GregorR: welcome to the club of the cool
09:30:39 <oklopol> actually i just have a todo list nowadays.
09:31:16 <oklopol> used to have a programming projects folder, but that was ...suboptimal.
09:31:24 <oklopol> well okay naturally i have that too
10:06:59 <psygnisfive> i have a programming folder inside my projects folder.
10:09:16 <oklopol> yes i do something like that too
10:09:34 <oklopol> actually i split by programming language, which is stupid imo.
10:09:38 <oklopol> i'd never do that if i were me
10:10:44 <psygnisfive> my projects folder: blog stuff, conlangs, conworlds, cyberbrains, efc archives, fashion, formal memetics, iptv shows, linguistics, megacities, philosophy, political writing, programming, sinogram fonts, t-shirts
10:11:53 <psygnisfive> inside programming: antigravity, ectoplasm, evolutionary algorithms, human-language like pl, linguistics db, lisp machine, misc javascript, oomysql, reactance, teaching js
10:15:31 -!- jix has quit ("Computer has gone to sleep").
10:24:20 <psygnisfive> pics ive saved from various sources that embody certain stylistic elements that i want to experiment with
10:24:25 <oklopol> (...are you gay or something?)
10:25:59 <oklopol> i'll poke anything that has six tails
10:26:53 <oklopol> i don't really play pokemon, i thought i'd finish one of them at some point, because all my finnirl friends were playing it
10:27:02 <oklopol> but i fucked up all the save files like 10 times
10:27:07 <psygnisfive> well no, dont, you probably dont understand finnish grammar :p
10:27:30 <oklopol> i don't even understand what your understanding is.
10:27:50 <psygnisfive> you obviously speak finnish, but thats not the same as knowing the grammar.
10:28:10 <oklopol> what's "knowing the grammar"? i know the rules.
10:28:24 <oklopol> but i know them in english too, that apparently isn't "knowing the grammar"
10:28:58 <psygnisfive> could you explain to me what tree transformations are going on in the production of a finnish sentence?
10:31:08 <oklopol> (but i do know more than pretty much any non-linquist you'll find here [if you allow me to lie a little])
10:31:21 <oklopol> {i don't actually know that, it's just my experience}
10:32:04 <psygnisfive> could you give me a fairly detailed account of nominal morphology and the times when the various morphs are used
10:33:16 <oklopol> i do have something to say about that, but nothing fairly detailed, i think i know the big picture about that if i understood the q.
10:34:30 <oklopol> should probably study that, the problem is i hear the introductory courses are hell, teaching trees and all that to people who liked writing pretty essays in high school.
10:35:07 <psygnisfive> its not that bad but a lot of people dont understand what theyre getting themselves into
10:36:10 <oklopol> do realize i haven't actually taken linguistics courses, and the guy who i heard this from has a tendency to leave the lecture because of something the lecturer said that he considered too trivial.
10:36:52 <oklopol> it's the god i'm wasting my time here reflex
10:37:41 <oklopol> (i don't know about you but in our uni it's pretty much standard practise to leave whenever you want to)
10:40:01 <oklopol> well naturally some lecturers may give you the evil eye if you make too much noise, but attendance is not compulsory, so.
10:40:41 <oklopol> not really considered rude here, at least among me.
10:40:49 <psygnisfive> its not compulsory here, usually, tho some profs factor attendance into grades
10:41:41 <oklopol> our courses are usually entirely about the exam, and you can get extra points for exercises or projects.
10:45:36 <oklopol> exercises are usually compulsory to some percentage though.
10:46:03 <oklopol> so in practise there's a lot of compulsory attendance.
10:47:29 <oklopol> (also this is just the it department, the others are much less "free")
10:50:02 <oklopol> yeah it means you're a hummingbird
10:51:26 <oklopol> "deadline 3, computation time 6"

23:20:46 <oerjan> it's been done before, i'm sure
23:22:19 <oklopol> i'm getting a deja vu from when i searched for "and" once.
23:23:07 <oerjan> by a remarkable coincidence, "and" has never been used (although it has been mentioned)
23:23:38 <oklopol> ah, they were all instances of "brainfuck"
23:24:04 <oerjan> i am sure ehird used -fucking- as an infix the other day
23:24:25 <oklopol> yes but he used -brain- in an earlier message
23:24:42 <oerjan> so it was really a brainfuck circumfix, you say?

23:32:00 <oklopol> yes, it was probably something deeperer
23:32:52 <oerjan> it was mock-ironic, i guess
23:33:35 <oerjan> not to be confused with macaronic
23:34:02 <oerjan> there is no post mock-ironic. that's the end of humor.
23:34:13 <oerjan> it dies there, horribly.
23:34:32 <AnMaster> oerjan, yeah now what was that quote...
23:34:42 <AnMaster> probably from before I began logging irc
23:34:55 <oklopol> what quote, i can search again
23:35:17 <AnMaster> this was from before my time in #esoteric
23:35:34 <oerjan> ironically, the quote was lost
23:36:25 <oerjan> also not to be confused with macarenic. hm that _might_ be an even later stage.

23:38:01 <AnMaster> it is quite possible the quote is too old for me to have a log of it
