14:02:28 <AnMaster> ehird, I didn't notice that link before btw
14:02:43 <AnMaster> I was so busy looking at the interesting map
14:02:54 <ehird> i should put like, a link supporting pedophillia in the corner of all my highly interesting technical documents
14:03:01 <ehird> then nobody will criticize any part apart from that one

14:20:43 <ehird> AnMaster: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/linuxdna-supercharges-linux-intel-cc-compiler
14:22:53 <ehird> doesn't icc work for amd?
14:22:59 <AnMaster> ehird, yeah but it is slower than gcc
14:23:18 <AnMaster> ehird, it isn't like Intel have any interest in making it good on amd...
14:23:27 <ehird> AnMaster: that's pretty bad, since gcc is one of the slowest compilers...
14:24:07 <AnMaster> ehird, slowest as in compile time or generating slow code? Or both?
14:24:22 <ehird> although gcc(1)'s execution time is pretty dismal, I don't know how that compares to others
14:24:34 <AnMaster> ehird, iirc clang is a lot faster.
14:24:41 <AnMaster> but of course it is far from ready yet
14:24:44 <ehird> yes, clang(1) is faster
14:24:58 <AnMaster> but it only does basic constant folding iirc
14:25:00 <ehird> but, gcc's generated code pales in comparison to the vast majority of other compilers, iirc
14:25:04 <ehird> (mostly commercial)
14:25:20 <AnMaster> it is a bit better in recent versions however
14:25:43 <AnMaster> I mean, compare GCC 3.4 to GCC 4.3 for example...
14:26:12 <ehird> because that's what comes with Apple's latest devtools, and I could upgrade it manually but I wouldn't get apple's mods
14:26:28 <ehird> and I don't feel like finding out if it'd break something
14:26:46 <AnMaster> I have 3.4.6, 4.1.2, 4.2.1, 4.3.<whatever the latest is on archlinux>
14:26:56 <ehird> AnMaster: incidentally, I experienced an insanely bad bug in my gcc yesterday
14:26:59 <ehird> as in major breakage
14:27:08 <ehird> maybe if I give you a console log you can explain it?
14:27:10 <AnMaster> I mean, only archlinux would make a compiler hit stable a few days after it was released...
14:27:30 <AnMaster> and file a bug after checking the last gcc ;)
14:27:41 <ehird> it's almost certainly not a gcc bug
14:28:04 <AnMaster> ehird, also llvm-gcc uses apple mods. llvm-gcc is on 4.2.1 currently iirc
14:28:35 <ehird> apple have heavily invested in llvm so I'm not surprised
14:28:49 <AnMaster> ehird, so what is this bug you hit?
14:28:53 <ehird> AnMaster: http://pastie.org/404648.txt?key=kjkf82sgtymwyt44eapphq
14:29:00 <ehird> warning: your eyes will pop out in shock at the WTFiness
14:29:17 <ehird> oh, I set it as a private paste so it doesn't show up in the recent pastes list
14:29:43 <ehird> AnMaster: but yeah, surely the cpp can't be THAT horrifically broken?!?!
14:29:57 <AnMaster> ehird, something is wrong yes.
14:30:12 <AnMaster> maybe (haven't checked) cpp standalone defaults to --traditional or something?
14:30:21 <ehird> what's the opposite of --traditional?
14:30:34 <ehird> also, this works on a recent version of gcc/linux, so I doubt that
14:30:48 <AnMaster> ehird, don't know, and don't remember if the exact option name was that. Was just trying to come up with a hypothesis
14:31:37 <ehird> but couldn't find anything relevant
14:31:50 <ehird> the person who tested it on linux thinks it's apple shipping a broken gcc
14:31:59 <ehird> but I find it hard to believe their gcc team is that incompetent
14:32:15 <AnMaster> ehird, my cpp does it correctly
14:32:29 <AnMaster> cpp (GCC) 4.1.2 20070214 ( (gdc 0.24, using dmd 1.020)) (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.1)
14:32:38 <ehird> that's your gdc cpp
14:32:48 <ehird> "( (gdc 0.24, using dmd 1.020))"
14:32:54 <AnMaster> ehird, the same version string is appeneded to all of gcc
14:33:03 <ehird> AnMaster: you're meant to install gdc separately :P
14:33:21 <AnMaster> ehird, hm? Just turned on the d useflag for GCC
14:33:28 <ehird> right, that's wrong
14:33:35 <ehird> you're meant to have a separate gcc called gdc
14:33:46 <AnMaster> ehird, I do, but all are built at once
14:34:27 <AnMaster> ehird, I mean it builds g++, gcc, gfortan, gdc, whatever-the-objc-one-is-called
14:34:44 <AnMaster> --enable-languages=c,c++,d,objc,treelang,fortran
14:34:56 <ehird> oh well, gdc is obsolete anyway
14:35:11 <AnMaster> ehird, yeah, so is this gcc and your mom :P
14:35:33 <ehird> except that's literally; the creator of the d language has said about as much and the last release was in 2070
14:37:40 <AnMaster> btw, did you know gdb includes large part of binutils in the source tarball?
14:37:52 <ehird> no, but I am not surprised.
14:38:21 <AnMaster> ehird, and that gcc has it's own modified copy of libtool included?
14:38:25 <ehird> wow, #macosx is so pointless to be in. it's all random chatter about bullshit and cannabis, and not one bit of os x talk
14:38:29 <AnMaster> for internal use during building
14:38:43 <ehird> i know this because I left it on when going to sleep so I have a full nightsworth of logs.
14:39:05 <AnMaster> ehird, well, that is because everything just works on OS X, so they have nothing else to talk about ;P
14:40:35 <AnMaster> ehird, oh and that gcc use autoconf but not automake.
14:40:48 <ehird> that's not surprising
14:40:58 <ehird> gcc's fucked up enough that automake would probably be impossible
14:41:27 <ehird> it's enough to make kernighan disown C...
14:41:30 <AnMaster> ehird, actually some parts of it use automake
14:42:03 <AnMaster> libjava, libstdc++ and a few other
14:42:18 <ehird> which reminds me that I was going to write an article on how to kern Han characters and sign it Brian W Kerninghan
14:42:45 <AnMaster> ehird, that pun is too bad even for me to say it...
14:43:05 <AnMaster> err that was not grammatically correct, was it?
14:43:52 <ehird> i think it might be technically correc
14:43:55 <ehird> but it was very awkawrd
14:44:04 <ehird> 'that pun is too bad for me to even say it' would be more idiomatic
14:44:08 <ehird> and yes, I know that's less logic
14:44:54 <ehird> it's one of the most ridiculous idioms
14:45:06 <AnMaster> the first one implied it was so bad it was even worse than my bad jokes :P
14:45:22 <ehird> it's just an unintuitive idiom
14:45:54 <AnMaster> hmm ok... it *seems* to mean that it is so bad that I would never say it (and not implying in any way that I make bad jokes)
14:46:24 <ehird> AnMaster: try 'that pun is too bad for even me to say it'
14:49:22 <fizzie> Even pun, that too bad is, for me to say it is. Even.
14:49:40 <fizzie> I hope I didn't miss any words.
14:50:25 <ehird> pun bad too is me say even for
14:51:32 <AnMaster> ehird, another cool thing: valgrind itself doesn't use system libc, but has it's own one that it uses internally. And then I'm not talking about redirecting malloc() and such...
14:51:36 <Asztal^_^> the original, "that pun is too bad even for me to say it...", seemed fine to me
14:51:54 <ehird> Asztal^_^: 'even for me to' is bad
14:52:01 <AnMaster> ehird, iirc it can't use system libc since it need to do stuff before libc is loaded
15:05:23 <fizzie> aaabdeeefhiimnnooooprsstttttuvy. Now the letters are more ordered.
15:05:23 <AnMaster> ehird, for more info see docs/internals/why-no-libc.txt in the valgrind source tarball
15:05:23 <ehird> i'd use valgrind if it supported my platform
15:05:23 <AnMaster> ehird, yeah, but porting valgrind isn't easy
15:05:23 <AnMaster> considering it does all sort of strange tricks
15:05:23 <fizzie> Darwin/x86 is marked "high" in valgrind's "porting plans" priority table. Dated Feb 1, 2007. Lacking suitably interested people, I guess.
15:05:23 <ehird> AnMaster: I'm not too hot on the internal details of Darwin/Mach
15:05:24 <AnMaster> ehird, hm it would probably be harder than porting to other *nix on x86 since you can't reuse the ELF stuff even
15:05:24 <AnMaster> doesn't valgrind work on freebsd iirc?
15:05:24 <AnMaster> though iirc it works better on linux
15:05:24 <ehird> it still saddens me that we even need tools like valgrind, being able to leak memory shouldn't be something you can do by accident...
15:05:24 <fizzie> On the other hand: "There are experimental ppc32/darwin and x86/FreeBSD ports for Valgrind 2.X. They could be made to work with 3.X with some effort."
15:05:24 <AnMaster> ehird, or use uninitialised variables?
15:05:24 <ehird> I've followed a "with some effort" pointer before, fizzie. That way lies madness.
15:05:24 <ehird> AnMaster: what the fuck is an uninitialized variable anyway
15:05:24 <ehird> variables store a value
15:05:24 <ehird> from a theoretical point of view, an uninitialized variable is just ridiculous
15:05:24 <AnMaster> ehird, in C it is like this: int foo(int bar) { int quux; return quux + bar; }
15:05:24 <ehird> yes, well, that's C for you
15:05:24 <ehird> i presume it made sense in the 70s
15:05:24 <AnMaster> ehird, true. Valgrind is for languages like C and C++
15:05:24 <ehird> and gets() also made sense in the 70s...
15:05:24 <AnMaster> ehird, no way gets() made sense even back then
15:05:24 <ehird> if you didn't listen to the program when it told you to enter up to 30 characters you got fired
15:05:28 <ehird> because your job was to operate the programs
15:05:44 <ehird> there weren't any malicious users
15:05:47 <ehird> it's like trying to break your toaster
15:05:50 <ehird> you can do it, but who does
15:06:13 <AnMaster> if they were network connected I'm sure we would have lots of toaster hackers...
15:06:25 <ehird> now THAT'S some criminal activity I could get into
15:06:28 <AnMaster> because then you can break someone else' toaster...
15:06:39 <ehird> "i pwnt ur toaster"
15:06:46 <ehird> "now it burnz all your bread. and ur hand."
15:07:13 <fizzie> I'm sure spammers would hack toasters to burn viagra ads to all bread.
15:07:32 <ehird> should just burn the viagra into the bread.
15:07:32 <AnMaster> fizzie, you got a dangerous mind...
15:07:41 <ehird> "Now you've had a sneak peek, why not buy some more?"
15:08:03 <ehird> AnMaster: I'm more worried about the unholy scramjet-equipped cyborg pigeons, an abomination against nature.
15:08:08 <ehird> someone else's is valid syntax.
15:08:19 <AnMaster> ehird, really? it looks very weird
15:08:33 <ehird> what looks odd to be is omitting the s after s'
15:08:33 <fizzie> SEP field is the Somebody Else's Problem field.
15:08:50 <ehird> my brain doesn't mentally parse the invisible s
15:08:58 <AnMaster> ehird, but trying saying it out loud?
15:09:02 <ehird> yet most style guides recommend it
15:09:05 <ehird> AnMaster: sure, you repeat the s
15:09:17 <fizzie> Come to think of it, I haven't seen any programmable-image toasters, just boring fixed-image ones. Certainly in 2009 it should be possible to read toast-pictures from an USB stick or something.
15:09:22 <AnMaster> ehird, sure, but to me it seems weird after "else"
15:09:36 <AnMaster> which isn't a noun or pronoun (sp?).
15:09:49 <ehird> also, it's a (pronoun*)
15:09:56 <ehird> pointer dereferencing is implicit
15:10:30 <ehird> "Things you should know: the Illuminati is run by reptilian astral entities known throughout history as Djinn, Nagas, Sheti, Angels/Demons, Dragons, Drucul etc. that rule the higher echelons of Freemasonry and do foul sex&torture rituals usually with young children getting eaten. They'll probably stage terror attacks soon, then will come an American union(WW3 too) & a staged alien invasion w/Draconian-saviours! Get storable food, support Stewart Swerd
15:10:31 <ehird> low, Alex Jones, Dr.Deagle & David Icke!"
15:10:38 <ehird> Thanks for the info.
15:10:51 <AnMaster> how much shorter travel time for Europe-US could you get with a scramjet aircraft?
15:10:55 <AnMaster> compared to a Concorde or such
15:11:01 <ehird> AnMaster: scramjet cyborg pigeon?
15:11:05 <ehird> they travel faster than light.
15:11:16 <ehird> before you start talkin' physics, they're an abomination against nature, remember?
15:11:18 <AnMaster> ehird, not those, I mean a scramjet aircraft
15:11:24 <ehird> oh. those are boring.
15:11:32 <AnMaster> ehird, still they are quite fast
15:11:53 <AnMaster> anyway scramjet cyborg pigeon aren't an abomination against nature. unholy scramjet-equipped cyborg pigeons are
15:11:59 <AnMaster> there is a important difference there
15:12:19 <AnMaster> scramjet cyborg pigeon are just dead.
15:12:46 <ehird> 15:08 ehird: AnMaster: I'm more worried about the unholy scramjet-equipped cyborg pigeons, an abomination against nature.
15:12:53 <AnMaster> ehird, <ehird> AnMaster: scramjet cyborg pigeon?
15:13:03 <ehird> sure, but I missed the abomination part too
15:13:13 <AnMaster> <ehird> before you start talkin' physics, they're an abomination against nature, remember?
15:13:22 <ehird> and i said unholy before
15:13:36 <AnMaster> ehird, ah so you just forgot a word then there
15:14:35 <fizzie> Hmm, this "introduction to AI" course programming-assignment/AI-tournament thing is proving to be rather popular this year too. 36 groups already registered.
15:15:02 <ehird> fizzie: wait, finns doing AI? shit. shit. robot invasion soon.

15:16:46 <fizzie> We already had this tournament thing last year, and all we got was a couple of Java classes that play a board game. Your fears might be exaggerationary.
15:17:01 <ehird> fizzie: but _oklopol_ might be in this one.
15:17:03 <fizzie> Calicoraptors. They are more tasteful.
15:17:11 <AnMaster> <fizzie> Calicoraptors. They are more tasteful. <-- ?
15:18:30 <fizzie> I was partially referring to the (according to WP) US term for this cat-colorization: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tortie-flame.jpg -- but you can interpret it as you like.
15:19:57 <fizzie> I'm not sure what to make of the summary. It says "Tortoiseshell Cat. -- tortoiseshells have no white fur" but the cat in question does have some white. Unless it's just an overexposed photo, but I don't think so.
15:21:36 <fizzie> http://zem.fi/~fis/abominations.txt -- my 'cut'-based approach for separating the speaker's nickname didn't really understand a CTCP ACTIONy comment, but on the other hand it looks much more hilarious that way.

15:28:15 <oerjan> well, given a certain leap in logic
15:28:38 <oerjan> it stands to reason that's also a good summary of the annotation.

15:37:53 <AnMaster> ehird, +c doesn't. I saw a box saying [0722] in what you pasted above. Which is not printable

15:46:26 <ehird> take "bullshit" literally
15:46:31 <oerjan> maybe it means cannabis in some foreign language

15:50:58 <oerjan> <ehird> AnMaster: I'm more worried about the unholy scramjet-equipped cyborg pigeons, an abomination against nature.
15:51:13 <oerjan> well the question here is whether scramjets can evolve...

21:21:19 <Impomatic> I've just about finished implementing a minimal Forth in Redcode. 36 Forth words in 85 Redcode instructions.
21:22:14 <ehird> also, how do you run redcode things like that?
21:22:20 <ehird> can pmars run 'standalone' programs?
21:22:43 <Impomatic> I'm using exmars streams, which has extra opcodes for i/o
21:22:56 <Impomatic> ARES also has i/o, but implemented differently
21:24:06 <Impomatic> But with a few macros, it'd be possible to make them equivalent. It's possible to check which mars a program is being run in.
21:25:16 <Impomatic> I had to make a few compromises though :-( E.g. rename a few words + -> plus, * -> times, etc

23:10:55 <ehird> oklopol: fine kthx u
23:12:33 <oklopol> well, i failed my first exam
23:12:41 <oklopol> so i had to change my life philosophy
23:12:50 <oklopol> which took a while, thus the offline time
23:13:09 <oklopol> (nah i was just too lazy to open a new server window)
23:13:20 <ehird> oklopol: wait did u rly failers :|
23:13:39 -!- olsner has quit ("Leaving").
23:13:59 <oklopol> depends on the definition of failing
23:14:11 <ehird> oklopol: so you got 99%?
23:14:24 <fizzie> 4. (3) fail, go bad, give way, die, give out, conk out, go, break, break down -- (stop operating or functioning; "The engine finally went"; "The car died on the road"; "The bus we travelled in broke down on the way to town"; "The coffee maker broke"; "The engine failed on the way to town"; "her eyesight went after the accident")
23:14:43 <fizzie> oklopol: Did your exam CONK OUT?
23:16:03 <oklopol> well i couldn't integrate sqrt(x^2 + 1) without using the formulas we were given, mainly because i got tired halfway through; anyway resulted in me almost tearing the paper in half and leaving, i then removed the whole answer to the exercise, and did another question instead, managed to remember a definition wrong and proved the wrong thing.
23:16:48 -!- GreaseMonkey has quit ("Client Excited").
23:16:58 <oklopol> so at least they should give me a zero from that, so at max i can get 75%, which as a grade would be like 3/5
23:17:07 <oklopol> that's pretty much a fail by any definition
23:17:26 <fizzie> It's not a fail by the "0 grade equals fail" definition, which in some sense is the official one.
23:17:41 <oklopol> well, true, i didn't fail the course
23:17:54 <ehird> oklopol: 75% isn't bad.
23:18:00 <fizzie> Fail the battle, not the war.
23:18:01 <ehird> by which i mean that's pretty damn good.
23:18:11 <oklopol> umm no it's my first non 5/5
23:19:18 <oklopol> anyway if i fail more of these exams i have piled up here, i will probably stop caring about my grades completely
23:19:39 <oklopol> if i try my best, and it just isn't good enough.
23:20:07 <ehird> yeah 75% is practically earth shattering failure
23:20:09 <oklopol> ehird: heh, that's what people keep telling me, i don't understand why :D
23:20:11 <ehird> you should just go home man
23:20:17 <fizzie> We've got some people here who do the whole "non-perfection == not acceptable" thing re grading, but personally I've never really seen the point.
23:20:31 <oklopol> ehird: it's a shattering failure considering how much i did for the course.
23:20:41 <ehird> hahahaha oklopol you amuse me.
23:21:10 <fizzie> See, you have a budding career as an ehird-amuser there.
23:21:27 <ehird> i'll give you food!
23:21:30 <oklopol> fizzie: no point, just an arbitrary goal.
23:21:52 <fizzie> Why can't this web-based study-result-browsamator compute grade point averages? Silly. It can in the PDF reports, but not in the web interface.
23:21:57 <ehird> oklopol: soooo ... don't do it again?
23:21:57 <oklopol> something i decided to do that isn't all that destructive
23:21:59 -!- comex has quit (Connection timed out).
23:22:10 <ehird> if it was like 50% i'd understand
23:22:15 <ehird> but it's not going to happen again now is it :P
23:22:16 <fizzie> Maybe "averaging" is such a computationally intensive algorithm they can only do it offline.
23:22:41 <oklopol> ehird: 50%? you won't pass the course with a 50%
23:22:43 <fizzie> In most of our exams 50 % of points is the line between 0 and 1.
23:22:52 <fizzie> Approximately, anyway.
23:22:57 <ehird> oklopol: thus, I said, if it was 50% i'd understand.
23:23:00 <oklopol> well okay you will usually pass it with exactly that, as fizzie pointed out
23:23:07 <ehird> but it's not, it's 75%.
23:23:21 <fizzie> Why is this PDF report in Swedish? I don't get it.
23:26:07 <fizzie> Personally I only get a a-failure-am-I feeling out of grades that are <3. (Less than three, not a-heart-symbol.)
23:26:45 <fizzie> And I've got some of those too, which is why I don't like looking at these reports.
23:26:56 <oklopol> fizzie: anyway the point is pretty much just that after you get 5/5 from your first 6 or so exams, it's easy to go "hey, maybe i could get a 5/5 from EVERYTHING", and the obsession begins.
23:27:10 <fizzie> Yes, I guess it could go like that.
