00:09:14 <nooga> shall we try Polish instead?
00:11:09 <oerjan> i was going to use google translate on "i don't think that would be a good idea" but i cannot even paste the resulting characters :D
00:11:57 <nooga> nie sdze by by to dobry pomys? :>
00:12:28 <oerjan> your pasting is not unicode, i think
00:12:41 <oerjan> and i cannot paste full unicode with my setup
00:14:00 <oerjan> your special characters show up as superscript digits
00:14:33 <nooga> when using irssi, there is no problem
00:14:37 <oerjan> not really, i assume that's what you get for interpreting latin-2 as latin-1, or something
00:14:55 <nooga> nie sadze by bylo to dobry pomysl ;p
00:15:25 <nooga> but then "sadze" means "i am planting"
00:15:38 <oerjan> the first two words are like what google translate gives, and the last one almost
00:16:09 <oerjan> Nie sadze, ze byloby dobrym pomyslem
00:17:00 <nooga> put "to" before "byloby" and it's correct
00:17:25 <oerjan> in any case, if you _had_ pasted unicode i would probably have seen just question marks
00:17:56 <oerjan> s/unicode/utf-8/, to be precise
00:19:31 <nooga> the worst thing in Norway is that when someone hears that you're Polish immediately says something like "ah, are you here to collect some berries?" :d

01:28:34 <ehird> revcompgeek: er, llvm supports ppc
01:28:51 <revcompgeek> i can't figure out how to use ldc on this computer
01:29:48 <revcompgeek> i was under the impression that it wouldn't work on a powerpc
01:30:01 <ehird> revcompgeek: you'll have to compile llvm
01:30:10 <ehird> just as a note: when you compile llvm and ldc, compile with gcc-4.2
01:30:16 <ehird> instead of just gcc
01:30:21 <ehird> llvm is broken with the older gcc

01:47:13 <revcompgeek> i'm installing libconfig cmake and llvm at the same time, and my computer is crawling
01:48:00 <ehird> revcompgeek: making sure to use gcc-4.2 for llvm?
01:49:08 <ehird> revcompgeek: if you think setting up ldc is hard, never try and bootstrap the ghc haskell compiler
01:49:12 <ehird> it requires itself to build
01:49:34 <ehird> so you have to download an older binary of it, unpack it, download the source, set up the paths to it, and hope nothing goes wrong
01:49:42 <ehird> (Things always go wrong)
01:50:02 <ehird> I'm not much of a fan of logic pls
01:51:21 <ehird> The thing with bootstrapping is that to be sane you have to assume a $language compiler is already installed. And if your language isn't called C, that's a bad assumption
01:54:11 <revcompgeek> i don't know if you can use older mercurial versions to bootstrap it though
01:54:17 <revcompgeek> i think you have to use a halfway compiler

13:40:05 <nooga> oerjan: do you sleep sometimes?
13:41:43 * oerjan is just finishing breakfast
13:41:52 <fizzie> Did we not already see a graph conclusively proving that the correct answer is, in fact, "no"?
13:42:59 <nooga> i got rline on irc.ircnet.pl
13:43:43 <fizzie> http://zem.fi/~fis/test5.png -- only explanation for the near-uniform thickness of the oerjan line must be lack of a sleep mode. (At least discounting all sensible explanations.)
13:44:24 <oerjan> the correct explanation is lack of a 24-hour sleep cycle
13:44:46 <fizzie> But that is a sensible explanation, so I discounted it.
13:47:32 <nooga> what's the y axis on that graph?
13:49:22 <fizzie> It's a sort of a normalized scale, the proportion of the width of one line to the whole graph is the same as the proportion to that nick's messages to all messages, in a N-minute window centered at that particular time of day. And some weighting.
13:50:04 <fizzie> For 2006-2008, I think.
13:51:27 * oerjan wonders how much it would change if you took message length into account
13:58:11 <fizzie> Not much: http://zem.fi/~fis/test5l.png
13:58:57 <fizzie> You do get a bit thicker there.
13:59:18 <oerjan> _i_ do? i was expecting the opposite
14:00:11 <fizzie> I might well be doing it wrong, or alternatively be using somewhat different settings there.
14:03:01 <fizzie> Nope, it was the same half-an-hour window, I get identical output to the original if I do not count the lengths. And the lengths are taken into account simply by counting e.g. "foobar" as six "messages", so I'm not sure how I could manage to screw up something that simple.
14:03:12 <oerjan> hm it would seem i write longer messages in some time periods
14:04:34 <MizardX> When ehird is not here. :)
14:06:28 <MizardX> How about average message length?
14:07:00 <MizardX> message length / message count
14:07:00 <fizzie> Average message length per time-of-day, or something else?
14:07:23 <oerjan> average message length as varying by time-of-day
14:07:51 <fizzie> Just in general or for everyone separately? I guess personal numbers are more interesting.
14:09:09 <oerjan> well obviously that would mean not talking at all
14:09:11 <fizzie> Well, there will not be an entry in the per-window message-count-structure-thing for nicks that have no messages.
14:10:20 -!- revcompgeek has left (?).
14:19:41 <fizzie> The graph, it is choppy and unreadable, and lacks the Y-scale: http://zem.fi/~fis/test5avg.png
14:21:14 <fizzie> It is most probably choppy because even a single message is enough to bump the average message length from zero to some largeish non-zero value.
14:22:47 <fizzie> http://zem.fi/~fis/test5avgr.png has the normalized version, although I think the only use for that is for "who talks with the longest messages at some point of time" comparisons.
14:23:47 <oerjan> indeed that's ridiculously choppy
14:24:16 <fizzie> There is an oerjan-peak around 10-11am. The times are EET/EEST, so that's... 9-10am around your place?
14:26:03 <fizzie> Well, this is not the sort of data you'd want to rely on.
14:26:08 <oerjan> well that might be just as much because no one _else_ is there
14:27:00 <fizzie> In this test5avg, the peak should mean that your messages are longer than normally during that time.
14:30:58 <oerjan> the choppiness seems to come from people who _never_ speak at certain times, such as ais523?
14:33:03 <oerjan> AnMaster: apparently you _never_ speak between 4AM and 7:30AM Finnish time, for example
14:33:22 <oerjan> http://zem.fi/~fis/test5avgr.png shows it pretty clearly
14:33:35 <AnMaster> oerjan, that would make sense, I would usually be sleeping then
14:34:19 <AnMaster> wonder why the sharp vertical pattern in several places?
14:34:33 <oerjan> AnMaster: that's exactly what i was trying to explain
14:34:40 <fizzie> That's when someone's "average message length" jumps from 0 to non-zero.
14:35:37 <oerjan> bsmntbombdood is interesting, he probably is very rarely here at some times, enough that some are completely absent, but still enough that he covers most of the day
14:36:34 <AnMaster> it seems I don't speak between 8 and 80:30 or so either?
14:36:57 <oerjan> so what freaked me out is that AnMaster and ais523 are _never_ here at certain times ever, in a 3 year period
14:36:59 <fizzie> That's 7 to 7:20 in your time zone.
14:37:32 <AnMaster> fizzie, ah, why not use UTC? That is the standard after all in international places
14:37:45 <AnMaster> oerjan, I try to sleep during night when possible
14:38:59 <oerjan> and me and oklopol remain the only ones who have no holes at all
14:39:00 <fizzie> I didn't want to bother with the UTC-conversion, since it's a non-fixed offset "thanks" to daylight savings stuff. Of course Time::Local would've done it for me, but still.
14:39:48 <AnMaster> also that's odd between 6 and 7 I'm active?
14:40:01 <fizzie> A single message is enough to count as "active".
14:40:13 <fizzie> As it is the average message length the graph is showing.
14:40:36 <AnMaster> fizzie, that seems rather useless, average number of days when it happened would be more interesting I suspect?
14:40:50 <fizzie> Furthermore, a single message is enough for a full hour of activity, since it's a 30-minute sliding window.
14:41:00 <fizzie> Average message length is what was requested here.
14:41:09 <oerjan> AnMaster: we were trying to find out if the length of our messages varied by day
14:41:28 <AnMaster> oerjan, but isn't the graph relative?
14:41:37 <AnMaster> I mean it isn't absolute value
14:41:39 <oerjan> and apparently they do, although the choppiness shows there is a lot of noise
14:41:52 <oerjan> AnMaster: http://zem.fi/~fis/test5avg.png
14:42:10 <oerjan> that's absolute, but also unreadable
14:43:19 <AnMaster> fizzie, hm why is that very rectangular for me around 6 in the morning?
14:43:58 <fizzie> AnMaster: I just explained that? If you have a single message, you get a fixed average-message-length for all windows that cover that single message, and with a 30-minute window it means a "block" of one hour.
14:44:20 <AnMaster> didn't see the bit about the window
14:45:26 <fizzie> test5avgc.png has the absolute-value-graph drawn in the cumulative fashion. It's maybe more readable than test5avg.png, as long as you don't look at the overall shape, which is nothing really meaningful in this case.
14:46:46 <AnMaster> fizzie, what is the scale of y? max == 511 chars?
14:46:59 <oerjan> fizzie: what about a "logarithmic" version of http://zem.fi/~fis/test6.png ? to show the difference between "speaks rarely" and "never at all"
14:47:26 <AnMaster> what did test6 show now again?
14:47:38 <oerjan> absolute number of messages, i think
14:47:49 <oerjan> (still with a window i guess)
14:48:10 <fizzie> Yes. test6l.png for absolute number of characters. All within a 30-minute hamming-weighted window.
14:48:45 <fizzie> I don't think I have time for further graph-drawing right now, I have to go and make a speech recognition presentation in Swedish (of all things) in 15 minutes, for that obligatory Swedish course-thing.
14:49:16 <oerjan> seems only slightly different from message number
14:49:56 <oerjan> that's not what i meant by "logarithmic", though, so i may pester you again later :D
14:50:35 <oerjan> good luck with your presentation
14:53:17 <fizzie> Thanks. It's just a five-minute thing, so at least it'll be quickly over.
14:55:06 <fizzie> I did think about building the presentation out of my advanced-continuation-course-in-speech-recognition 30-minute seminar presentation, or our conference paper, but that might not have worked so well, given that the audience has architects and all kinds of non-computer-science people.

15:13:38 <ehird> why on non-god's earth would you do tht
15:13:46 <ehird> instead of using a language designed to do that kind of shit
15:14:18 <nooga_> the problem is RoR is sloooow, php is slooow, asp is idiotic, java shit is java shit
15:15:46 <ehird> 1) RoR is slow, but that's in a large part an artifact of the framework and old ruby versions; 2) PHP may be slow, but it's fast enough for big things (unless I'm hallucinating); 3) No argument there; 4) ditto; 5) C may be neat (I disagree, but.) but I couldn't call this abomination "C"...

15:42:13 <ehird> Erm; it resides within my head. The basic idea is that it's completely dynamic at every level possible: the compiler/runtime are malleable at both compile-time and runtime, which are indistinguishable (there's just infinite levels)
15:42:15 <ehird> Imagine P6 taken to the extreme.
15:42:31 <ehird> So, for instance, you could write a library that fully integrates — say — a dependent-typing system — by modifying the compiler at runtime to add it. You can, literally, change it into anything (even another language)
15:43:16 <ehird> There's eval(), of course. So if you eval() a file, you can modify that file, and if it modifies the compiler, it'll change how the rest of the program is run
15:43:17 <nooga> i thought about such language
15:43:29 <nooga> that lets you to extend it's syntax, alter it and mess with internal mechanisms using the language itself
15:43:34 <ehird> There'd be a "static" compiler option, though, to omit eval() and not let you do that kind of thing at runtime (so you don't need to bundle the compiler)
15:43:36 <nooga> but my head asploded
15:45:55 <ehird> I pretty much hate typing what I don't need, I guess is the motivation.
15:46:13 <nooga> that's why ruby is cool
15:46:32 <ehird> I like Ruby. It's far from perfect, though.

15:48:05 <nooga> i like the thing that ruby doesn't force any particular style
15:50:45 <ehird> One thing I've been playing with recently is a language where programs are graphical... graphs.
15:50:45 <nooga> it's strictly object oriented but let's you write code that looks procedural
15:50:55 <nooga> i has got functional flavours
15:51:49 <nooga> and permits many cool tricks
15:53:27 <nooga> http://www.theprodukkt.com/werkkzeug1#28

15:54:00 <ehird> Max/msp, vvvv, etc
15:54:07 <kerlo> The only worthwhile programming language is first-order logic with dependent typing.
15:54:34 -!- dbc has joined.
15:54:36 <kerlo> The most useful piece of syntactic sugar is the * token, pronounced "y'know", which is transformed by the compiler into the only value that makes sense.

15:57:03 <ais523> I was doing the assessment for my final project
15:57:10 <ais523> which I've talked about in here on occasion
15:57:51 <ais523> quite possibly there'll be a mathematical paper coming out of it, which you can read
15:57:55 <ehird> ais523: no, I'm pretty sure I couldn't read t
15:57:59 <ais523> also, please don't claim that lazy impure imperative languages are ridiculous
15:58:07 <ehird> assuming reading involves grokking
15:58:15 <kerlo> nooga: oh, there might be a program somewhere that interprets it.
15:58:27 <ais523> I'm pretty sure someone did last time it came up
15:58:31 <ais523> so I was just being pre-emptive
15:58:38 <ehird> I _do_ think they are ridiculous, but I have a language prototype with it too
15:58:51 <ehird> except it doesn't take your stupid ; operator approach, it's far more flexible than htat.
15:59:06 <ais523> well, it's not my approach
15:59:10 <ais523> look up "Idealised Algol" some time
15:59:33 <ais523> and I don't see why "a then b" is such a ridiculous operator to have
15:59:57 <ehird> because it's not impure enough, mine lets you embed side effects anywhere, while working how you want, lazily :-)
16:00:28 <ais523> I admit that ; is a monad in disguise, but I don't see what's so bad about that
16:00:31 <ehird> ais523: for example
16:00:39 <ehird> foo = (print "Hello!") : foo
16:00:46 <ehird> this prints Hello! when you first run it
16:00:58 <ehird> head (tail foo) => Hello!()
16:01:02 <ais523> how do you determine first run?
16:01:02 <ehird> head (tail foo) => ()
16:01:08 <ehird> ais523: er, when it runs that statement
16:01:11 <ehird> okay, repl console:

16:02:38 <ehird> > foo = (print "Hello!") : foo; () () to avoid printing infinite list
16:02:44 <ehird> () print returns ()
16:02:53 <oerjan> that's what they want you do think
16:02:53 <ehird> () the side effect only happens when evaluating, then it becomes the result
16:02:57 <ehird> > head (tail (tail foo))
16:03:04 <ehird> [(),(),(),Hello!(),Hello!(),Hello!(),...
16:04:57 <ehird> ais523: this all despite that the (print "Hello!") is the same each time
16:05:10 <ehird> since the language has the notion of the same object differing depending on its context
16:05:32 <ais523> what does your ; operator do? evaluate the left arg, ignore it, and output the right?
16:05:50 <ais523> it seems to me that in a lazy lang, x; () would do nothing no matter what the value of x
16:05:51 <ehird> oh, that's not relevant.
16:06:05 <ehird> fine goddamnit i'll write it again so you stop nitpicking
16:06:18 <ehird> ais523: ignore the first line
16:06:20 <ais523> nitpicks are how you learn esolangs...
16:06:32 <ehird> > :magicreplcommandthatmakesitnotprinttheoutput foo = (print "Hello!") : foo
16:06:39 <ais523> also, is that : the same as : from OCaml?
16:06:46 <ehird> it's the : from haskell.
16:06:48 <ehird> the ; () is irrelevant to the example entirely
16:06:53 <ehird> "() to avoid printing infinite list"
16:06:59 <nooga> i just lost context
16:07:06 <ais523> wow, I always get that wrong

16:23:58 <AnMaster> oerjan, what shouldn't who tell psygnisfive?

16:24:41 <ehird> 15:12 oerjan: nooga: not faggotry, we've moved to another off topic
16:25:29 <AnMaster> btw does anyone know if OpenTTD has trolley buses?
16:25:33 <oerjan> YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO TELL
16:25:46 <ehird> oerjan: Can't bear the horror.
16:26:16 <oerjan> ehird expects the AnMaster inquisition
16:26:27 <AnMaster> nooga, it was a question not a statement
16:26:59 <ais523> hmm... maybe nooga was trying to Turing-test AnMaster by feeding him syntax errors to see what happened
16:27:14 <AnMaster> I found OpenTTD to be rather primitive for anything but trains.
16:27:43 <ehird> gee, a train sim focuses on trains?
16:27:47 <ehird> I'm pretty goddamn amazed
16:28:22 <AnMaster> ehird, in this case that difference actually matters I'm afraid
16:28:43 <nooga> when I play OTTD i build only trains
16:28:54 <oerjan> ais523: AnMaster is immune to turing tests.
16:28:56 <nooga> ...and sometimes planes
16:29:11 <ehird> ... maybe AnMaster is a turing test himself
16:29:11 <oerjan> as in, no one is any wiser afterwards.
16:29:13 <AnMaster> nooga, well that is another issue with it. No complex under ground train networks with stations and so on below ground.
16:29:17 <ehird> by responding to him, we're losing.
16:30:21 <oerjan> the only winning move is not to play?
16:30:41 <nooga> AnMaster: I am quite sure that it could be implemented, since it's open project
16:30:56 <ehird> oerjan: Exactly. As a bonus you stay semi-sane.
16:31:12 <AnMaster> nooga, well I tried it a bit recently, turned out a friend had those needed original files legally. So tried it at his computer.
16:31:29 * oerjan swats ehird again as reinforcement -----###
16:31:29 <AnMaster> nooga, I prefer simutrans though, it has all those features already
16:31:41 <nooga> isn't ttd abandonware?
16:31:57 <ehird> AnMaster: he means copyright
16:32:02 <AnMaster> oh you mean the original files. right
16:32:10 <ehird> nooga: has the maker specifically got rid of the copyright?
16:32:18 <ehird> or are the makers dead + 7 billion years?
16:32:29 <ais523> ehird: I thought abandonware was a term for things that were technically illegal, but that nobody cared enough to sue about
16:32:36 <ehird> you said that last time ais523
16:32:42 <ais523> yes, I still think that
16:32:53 <ehird> that's common usage, but it just means expired copyright software.
16:32:58 <ehird> or public domained old software
16:33:23 <AnMaster> so what is the name for the meaning ais523 mentioned then? If we don't want to be ambiguous?
16:33:28 <nooga> i just googled these files and voila
16:33:32 <nooga> ahh i'm so illegal
16:33:43 <ehird> AnMaster: Er, piracy.
16:33:50 <ehird> Don'tgiveashitware?
16:34:03 <AnMaster> ehird, too long to be easy to use
16:34:09 <oerjan> there exists expired copyright software?
16:34:20 <ehird> oerjan: We discussed this. It's quite likely.
16:34:25 <ehird> What's the law ais523? death+20 years?
16:34:43 <ais523> death+25 in the UK, IIRC, if it's an individual who owns the copyright
16:34:52 <AnMaster> ais523, is this for books too?
16:34:54 <ais523> the rules for companies are different, partly because it's hard to pinpoint exactly when they die
16:35:02 <ais523> AnMaster: in the UK, source code and books follow the same copyright rules
16:35:04 <nooga> i hold several copyrights on software and i don't give a shit
16:35:12 <ehird> Okay, so independent shareware developer in the 80s, sells a program, dies in an accident.
16:35:20 <ehird> Today, it'd be uncopyrighted.
16:35:22 <ais523> could happen, I suppose
16:35:29 <AnMaster> ais523, I thought it was 70 years internationally + a few exceptions in some countries
16:35:31 <ehird> It seems quite likely
16:35:34 <ehird> There's a lot of stuff
16:35:37 <oerjan> ais523: i would imagine it was more because companies are potentially immortal... at least originally.
16:35:42 <ais523> AnMaster: no, every country is different
16:35:52 <ehird> You know, having copyright extend past death is pretty stupid.
16:36:04 <ehird> Their ghosts's intellectual rights are being infringed!
16:36:22 <ais523> well, their descendants may have royalties on it as their main source of income
16:36:41 <ehird> ais523: I'd put that as the company situation
16:36:47 <AnMaster> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright#Duration " In most of the world, the default length of copyright is the life of the author plus either 50 or 70 years."
16:37:17 <oerjan> ehird: but think of the children!
16:37:34 * ehird thinks of children. Did I tell you I'm a convicted child molester?
16:37:36 <ehird> Er, disregard that.
16:37:49 <oerjan> s/but/won't somebody please/
16:37:51 <AnMaster> ehird, the copyright ownership is owned by the dead copyright holders descendants after his death
16:38:03 <ehird> AnMaster: Right. So then the copyright is held by a living person.
16:38:06 <ais523> personally, I don't think copyright has to make sense, on the basis that nothing else in the economy does
16:38:12 <ehird> But if the person dies and it doesn't go there, ...
16:38:16 <AnMaster> ehird, btw I see you are alive again ;P
16:38:24 <nooga> i bought a car from a dead person ;d
16:38:33 <ehird> Yes. I challenged Death to tic tac toe.
16:38:40 <ehird> While he was considering it I put the first move in.
16:38:56 <ehird> ais523: Well, it was 2x2 tic tac toe.
16:38:56 <nooga> his wife had papers with his signatures
16:39:11 <nooga> we filled the papers and i've got a car from a dead guy
16:39:31 <ais523> heh, if I were Death in that situation (which is pretty unlikely, tbh), then once you played the first x
16:39:38 <ais523> I'd put my own x next to it, then we'd both win
16:39:45 <AnMaster> <ehird> ais523: Well, it was 2x2 tic tac toe. <-- that would be even more trivial?
16:39:49 <ehird> AnMaster: /facepalm
16:41:17 <oerjan> ais523: you could be Death of Losing in Tic-Tac-Toe
16:41:31 <ehird> Actually, 2x2 tic tac toe constituted a major story arc of a comic I once made...
16:41:35 <oerjan> you would fit into IWC just well
16:41:50 <ehird> Specifically, it was used to settle a dispute of Earth vs MArs.
16:41:59 <ais523> was it a very interesting comic?
16:42:20 <ehird> ais523: It was quite funny. At least people seemed to think so.
16:43:05 <nooga> ehird: have you got any docs on your idea of this self altering language?
16:43:15 <ehird> nooga: Yes, just connect to my mind
16:43:28 <oerjan> they are self altering docs, obviously

16:44:22 <ais523> was it Forth, or something else?
16:44:37 <ais523> anyway, it worked by redefining syntax errors to print hello world

16:45:04 <oerjan> that was the tcl one wasn't it?
16:45:31 <ais523> but it would be a simple case of DO ABSTAIN FROM COMMENTS to remove the normal meaning of a syntax error
16:45:40 <ais523> followed by DO NEXT FROM COMMENTS to redefine them
16:45:44 <ais523> then the hello world code
16:45:51 <ais523> then the whole thing backwards
16:46:04 <ais523> actually, that would print lots of hello worlds in a loop, you might want to exit somewhere in that mess
16:47:07 * oerjan recalls some basics had ON ERROR GOTO
16:50:52 <AnMaster> ais523, err since I missed the discussion due to the netsplit, what is the code you are talking about? And why hello world backwards?
16:51:00 <ais523> even Visual Basic had ON ERROR RESUME NEXT
16:51:11 <ais523> which is an anti-pattern in itself, codified into the language!
16:51:13 <AnMaster> <AnMaster> ehird, I was just agreeing with you
16:51:13 <AnMaster> <AnMaster> I don't think anyone but whoever made the first move would win in 2x2 tic tac toe... Right?
16:51:13 <AnMaster> <AnMaster> it would even be impossible for first player to loose
16:51:31 <ais523> AnMaster: I wrote a mistake
16:51:42 <ehird> 15:51 ais523: even Visual Basic had ON ERROR RESUME NEXT
16:51:51 <ehird> all errors are ignored
16:51:59 <ais523> but a corrected version: the TCL palindromic hello world on stackoverflow worked by redefining syntax errors to print hello world
16:52:04 <nooga> basics are idiotic
16:52:12 <ais523> followed by the same code backwards, which obviously contained a syntax error
16:52:46 <ehird> no syntax error, ais523

16:55:25 <ehird> It's not freenode's issue, AnMaster_.
16:55:33 <AnMaster_> so why would my bouncer be the issue.
16:55:39 <ehird> because there was. no. netsplit.
16:56:31 <AnMaster_> ehird, that was because of timeout. But don't pretend there weren't a netsplit before
16:56:44 <AnMaster_> ehird, after <nooga> 5555555555555555 I saw a split with lots of quits
16:57:02 <ehird> 15:49 nooga: 5555555555555555
16:57:02 <ehird> 15:49 AnMaster prods freenode
16:58:19 <nooga> stop this nonsense, let's design computation model based on weave frequency, interference and diffraction
16:58:39 <AnMaster_> ehird, I sent that line about 5 minutes before the split
16:58:43 <ais523> AnMaster_: it was a very small netsplit, only three people parted
16:58:48 <ais523> you were just caught on the small side
16:58:54 <ais523> so it looked big from your point of view

18:15:25 <ehird> Boxes are, essentially, well
18:15:30 <ehird> You can't put a matrix in matrix, right? It's flattened out
18:15:35 <ehird> But you can put a box in a matrix
18:15:42 <ehird> And a box is just a matrix turned into a value.
18:15:51 <ehird> And when you have something that doesn't evaluate
18:15:59 <ehird> but just +/%# doesn't
18:16:04 <ehird> you get it as the nested boxes of parsetreeity.

18:54:41 <lament> one step removed from SA
18:55:39 <ehird> Comic Sans was designed because when I was working at Microsoft I received a beta version of Microsoft Bob. It was a comic software package that had a dog called Rover at the beginning and he had a balloon with messages using Times New Roman.

19:39:51 <ehird> Asztal_: is there actually a fjölnir impl readily available?
19:40:11 <Asztal_> ehird: yes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fj%C3%B6lnir_%28programming_language%29
19:40:52 <ehird> Is it coded in Háskóli?
19:41:19 <Asztal_> Also, it needs its input encoded in CP861. Brings back memories of nothing ever working.
19:41:38 <ehird> "is a list-processing language similar to LISP and LOGO. "
19:41:44 <ehird> Is it just me or is this completely false?
19:41:57 <fizzie> I just (two weeks ago, maybe) installed Windows XP in a VM, and I had no idea why. (Although since then I've found a real use for it: there is some windows-specific bug in the Java thingamajic used by that AI course, whose project-work I'm handling.)
19:42:06 <Asztal_> ehird: where does it say that?
19:42:22 <ehird> Actually I'm installing windows to see how well I can replicate http://www.winterspeak.com/columns/goodeasy.txt on it
19:42:27 <Asztal_> ehird: well, it does have lists...
19:42:35 <ehird> Asztal_: python is a list processing language!
19:42:56 <ehird> http://news.php.net/php.webmaster/4188 KOL WUT
19:43:03 <Asztal_> but I think the defining part of lisp is lambdas/closures... which I haven't yet found in Fjölnir :(
19:43:27 <ehird> Asztal_: Evidently this language is not yet touched by the Sussman.
19:44:43 <ehird> I hope it isn't unscien— shot
19:45:00 <Asztal_> "Its primary features are list-processing, akin to LISP's, and modular programming via algebraic package operators (which is what sets it apart from other languages), so you have special operations on packages like composition and so on."
19:45:12 <ehird> modular programming via algebraic package operators
19:45:25 <Asztal_> see the Hello World example?
19:45:50 <Asztal_> the bit in between { } is presumably a module variable, and * sort of... links them
19:46:11 <Asztal_> except the only documentation is in Icelandic, so I don't really know what it's doing :(
19:46:20 <ehird> Asztal_: Are they trying to say the good thing is that you can organize your code with packages and then run pointless operations on these packages?
19:47:28 <ehird> Please wait while Setup copies files
19:47:28 <ehird> to the Windows installation folders.
19:47:31 <ehird> This might take several minutes to complete.
19:47:32 <ehird> It's almost a Haiku.
19:48:11 <Asztal_> it's kind of cool if you can take a piece of code and use it in several different contexts... like maybe "GRUNNUR"'s * operator multiplies numbers, but some other package's * operator does something different.
19:48:25 <Asztal_> then again that might not be possible :|
19:48:27 <ehird> I think "GRUNNUR" is the standard library.
19:48:48 <ehird> Module names as strings is pretty stupid.
19:50:51 <Asztal_> It seems there are first-class functions, too.
19:51:05 <ehird> Installing XP feels kind of ... deviant.
19:51:23 <Asztal_> "f := stef skrifastreng(0,1)" or something like that...
19:51:44 <Asztal_> 0 being the amount of in-out parameters, 1 being the amount of in parameters.
19:51:44 <fizzie> ehird: Maybe even ... deewiant.
19:51:52 <ehird> Asztal_: that's so ugly :D
19:52:53 <ehird> After this I get to remove a good part of the hideous abomination that is the parts of XP that are changed from 2000
19:52:57 <ehird> Still left with the windows horror tho
19:53:56 <ehird> "Setup will complete in approximately 39 minutes"
19:53:58 <ehird> Yay microsoft minutes
19:54:16 <fizzie> Installing it in a VM certainly beats installing it on hardware.

20:59:13 <psygnisfive> specifically, it involved a mac that had been loaded with some sort of horrible program that force-ran windows (or some fake windows like program) and wouldnt give control to the user
20:59:46 <ehird> Hmm. When you remove a lot of crap frmo a windows system you quickly learn the fastest ways to get around.
21:00:05 <ehird> For instance, the best way to run any program you don't have a shortcut to, or open any directory, is Windows-R.
21:00:15 <ehird> Windows-R: It's like Quicksilver for XP.

21:19:14 <ehird> ^_______________________________________________________^
21:19:32 <ehird> You may disable WFP by setting the value SFCDisable (REG_DWORD) in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ Winlogon. By default, SFCDisable is set to 0, which means WFP is active. Setting SFCDisable to 1 will disable WFP. Setting SFCDisable to 2 will disable WFP for the next system restart only (without a prompt to re-enable).
21:19:38 <ehird> from microsoft.com
21:20:29 <ehird> Important: You must have a kernel debugger attached to the system via null modem cable (for example:I386kd.exe or Windbg.exe) to use SFCDisable = 1 or SFCDisable = 2.
21:20:41 <ehird> Warning! Windows File Protection is not active on this system. Would you like to enable Windows File Protection now? This will enable Windows File Protection until the next system restart. <Yes> <No>.
21:20:41 <ehird> Clicking Yes will reactivate WFP until the next system restart. This message will appear at every successful logon until SFCDisable is set to 0.

22:03:59 <zzo38> Does it look right to you? Probably there is some mistake because it is untested
22:04:27 <ehird> I don't really understand but it looks cool
22:04:53 <zzo38> Do you think it can do c?
22:08:21 <zzo38> It says label (7) is for c but label (8) and (9) and (10) are also used as part of the c function. I'm not sure if there is a better way

22:10:23 <zzo38> Until you or me learn the INTERCAL way of programming it might be a bit confusing whether or not it works, you have to follow it slowly to understand. But once you or me it more used to CLCLC-INTERCAL (if you are insane also) then you should be able to understand the programs more faster.
22:11:52 <ehird> I'm insane, so that's a good start
22:13:40 <zzo38> See if you can follow the program slowly at least to see if there is something I missed while doing the same. Eventually if CLCLC-INTERCAL is implemented then I can learn it faster, but it will take a while to learn it at first for sure!
22:15:33 <ehird> Is there anything that would make it hard to implement?
22:15:35 <ehird> I might have a shot.
22:16:12 <zzo38> If you have question or comments please ask it. On IRC and/or on the [[Talk:CLCLC-INTERCAL]] page

22:43:49 <oerjan> <ehird> Asztal_: Are they trying to say the good thing is that you can organize your code with packages and then run pointless operations on these packages?
22:44:00 <oerjan> isn't that sort of like ML functors?
22:49:13 <Asztal_> an example: http://moonpatio.com/fastcgi/hpaste.fcgi/raw?id=1988
22:49:41 <Asztal_> it uses the "quicksor" module, which uses the "<" and "=" given directly below it
22:56:51 <oerjan> module Int_set = Set.Make (struct
22:57:12 <oerjan> Asztal_: that's an ocaml example
22:58:27 <oerjan> it creates an anonymous module defining a type t = int and how to compare it, and then uses the Set.Make functor to create a module for handling int sets

23:39:59 <ehird> Joe Clark deftly deflects your parry.
23:42:56 <ehird> The goal of invariant sections, ever since the 80s when we first made the GNU Manifesto an invariant section in the Emacs Manual, was to make sure they could not be removed. Specifically, to make sure that distributors of Emacs that also distribute non-free software could not remove the statements of our philosophy, which they might think of doing because those statements criticize their actions.
23:43:09 <ehird> Every day I seem to find something rms says that's more ridiculous & idiotic than the last thing.
