15:21:52 <fizzie> I didn't hear anything, the join-quit noise is so loud.
15:23:32 <oerjan> and there's such a terrible lasting echo
15:23:45 <ais523> hmm, can anyone here think of a decent way to parse reverse-polish using Parsec?
15:24:04 <ais523> at the moment, I'm reversing the input string then parsing the resulting forward-polish, but the resulting error messages are ridiculous
15:25:30 <ais523> oerjan: or Confloddle, which is what I'm trying to implement atm
15:25:34 <ais523> Forth isn't really parsed
15:26:03 <oerjan> hm that does sound weird to do without a stack
15:26:04 <ais523> (incidentally, Confloddle can be cut down from 5 to 4 characters trivially; it turns out that you can deduce the location of every < in the program even if it's not stated)
15:27:29 <oerjan> i suppose you'd like to detect stack underflows at the spot?
15:27:47 <ais523> (so I'm considering making the character set just re@: where @ is > and the location of the < is implied)
15:28:08 <ais523> both bottom-up parsers and LR(1) parsers don't have a problem with this sort of thing, although they both use stacks internally
15:30:07 <oerjan> yes this is a left-recursion problem isn't it
15:30:24 <ais523> the obvious way to write it in Parsec gives you an infinite loop
15:30:34 <ais523> I've been considering just writing a parser by hand
15:35:50 <oerjan> you can do the reversing while parsing instead of before at least, maybe that gives better messages?
15:37:04 -!- FireFly has joined.
15:40:56 <oerjan> parseRest l = do (t <- token; let a = noArgs t; guard (length l >= a); parseRest (apply t (take a) l : drop a l)) <|> ...finished...
15:42:12 <oerjan> you just pass in what's parsed so far, and apply to arguments immediately
15:42:42 <oerjan> *(reverse $ take a), probably
15:42:59 <oerjan> *(reverse $ take a l), probably
15:43:32 <oerjan> that l should have been inside the parentheses to start with
15:44:04 <oerjan> it might be a good idea to split on whether t takes arguments or not
15:44:46 <oerjan> oh and noArgs is numberOfArgs, not absense
15:45:42 <oerjan> is it still confusing?
15:46:17 <ais523> I'm trying to figure out why you care about the number of args of the first token
15:46:49 <oerjan> ais523: it's not the first token, parseRest l is applied recursively to get each token
15:47:07 <oerjan> (well it's the first token too, called as parseRest [])
15:47:14 -!- Asztal has joined.
15:47:16 <ais523> oerjan: hmm, l is the list of tokens you've seen so far?
15:47:27 <ais523> I'm starting to see how that works now, but it's still really unintuitive to me
15:47:36 <oerjan> not just tokens, collected expressions
15:48:59 <oerjan> it essentially does a parsing using a stack, just inside parsec
15:49:35 <ais523> in which case you may as well write it by hand and make it clearer
15:50:13 <oerjan> yes, it's just to get parsec's error messages (and it's just a sketch)
15:51:22 <oerjan> that guard should be replaced with something with a proper underflow error message
15:52:03 <oerjan> "t applied to too few arguments" and i suppose parsec provides the position
15:52:24 <ais523> hmm, perhaps you could just use fail?
15:54:50 <oerjan> yes, that looks like the right thing for user-generated ones

22:06:12 <gigo> i'm a complete newbie in lambda calculus. the book had some good definitions of successor, addition, etc. but I modified the definition of 1 from Lsz.s(z) to Ls.s and now I am trying to make my own successor, addition, etc.

22:07:23 -!- mblondin has left (?).
22:07:31 <lament> i mean isn't your S just the S from SKI
22:08:06 <lament> S23f = (2f)(3f) = (ff)(fff) = (fffff)
22:10:52 <pikhq> gigo: SKI is the SKI combinator calculus. It's Turing complete by way of equivalence with lambda calculus.
22:11:23 <pikhq> It can be defined as follows: S:=\xyz.xz(yz);K:=\xy.x;I:=\x.x
22:11:25 <gigo> is there any way to do lambda calculus on computers?
22:11:45 <gigo> I use Debian Linux. any suggestions?
22:11:47 <pikhq> Are you familiar with functional programming languages?
22:11:54 <gigo> yes, I know Scheme.
22:12:05 <pikhq> Scheme is a superset of lambda calculus.
22:12:28 <pikhq> So, you already possess an interpreter. ;)
22:13:14 <ais523> (define s (lambda (x) (lambda (y) (lambda (z) ((x z) (y z)))))
22:20:42 <gigo> So, if S = \xyz.xz(yz) can I say that S23 = \z.(2z (3z)) = \z.( (\s.ss z)(\s.sss z) ) = \z.zzzzz = 5 ?
22:24:09 <ais523> the last-but-one step is wrong
22:24:16 <ais523> hmm, I think, not sure
22:24:19 <ais523> how are 2 and 3 defined?
22:27:15 <gigo> 2 = \s.ss and 3 = \s.sss
22:30:47 <gigo> ais523, i answered your question about how 2 and 3 are defined
22:30:57 <ais523> just didn't have anything more to say
22:31:09 <gigo> so, why is the last-but-one step wrong?
22:31:13 <ais523> I don't see how \z.(2z)(3z) = 5
22:31:35 -!- cheater2 has joined.
22:31:45 <gigo> 2z = \s.ss z = zz
22:31:54 <gigo> similarly, 3z = zzz
22:31:58 <ais523> yep, and (zz)(zzz) != (zzzzz)
22:32:28 -!- hiato has quit (Quit: underflow).
22:32:31 <ais523> the usual definition of 2, btw, is \f.\x.f(fx)
22:32:59 <gigo> and that of 3?
22:33:20 <gigo> why do you write the inner most thing as fx and not f(x)
22:33:29 <gigo> how about 2 as \f.\x.f(f(x)) ?
22:33:37 <ais523> it's a standard abbreviation
22:34:30 <ais523> and langs like haskell actually let you write that
22:34:36 <ais523> rather than having to put all the parens in
22:35:43 <gigo> so, abcd = ((a(b))(c))(d) ?
22:36:16 <gigo> can i wrte abc = (ab)c as well?
22:36:20 <ais523> and in a lang that uses currying, that's the standard way to pass three args to a function
22:36:25 <ais523> (ab)c is fine, if you want to disambiguate
22:36:36 <ais523> but with a(bc) you can't remove the parens
22:36:55 <gigo> so a(bc) = a((b)c)
22:37:09 <ais523> ok, that looks weird, but yes I suppose
22:37:22 <ais523> (b)c is less usual than b(c), and bc is more common than either when talking in combinator calculus
22:38:00 <ais523> the same trick happens with data types; Int -> Int -> Int means Int -> (Int -> Int)
22:40:53 <gigo> so for my definitions of 2, 3, etc. can I make a sum function S?
22:41:14 <gigo> 2 = \s.ss, 3 = \s.sss, 4 = \s.ssss, 5 = \s.sssss, etc.

23:15:34 <coppro> I wonder if they're stupid enough to try appealing the verdict directly
23:16:13 <ais523> they're running out of money pretty quickly, though
23:17:16 <coppro> and it's not like appealing a jury verdict works that well in any case

23:30:31 <ais523> heh, that's the same definition as normal, isn't it?
23:31:07 <oerjan> (or in pure lambda, \s.\t.\x.x)
23:31:45 <ais523> I was considering making that a constant in the underlambda standard library
23:31:50 <ais523> as an "absence of value" constant
23:31:56 <ais523> unlike `ki, which is just 0 which is a value
23:32:47 <ais523> why are we using s as a lambda variable anyway?
23:32:49 <ais523> it has a different meaning
23:33:09 -!- augur has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds).
23:33:17 <oerjan> and didn't seem to have heard of combinators before
23:35:52 <oerjan> now an s to pass in usefully has to be appliable to itself, and somehow construct an "incremented" version of itself when doing so
23:36:42 <oerjan> and to be useful, there has to be something else that it can be applied to in order to stop the gobbling up of indefinite arguments
23:37:58 <oerjan> oklopol: that's a lot to get out of the word "conspiracy"
23:44:11 -!- augur has joined.
23:45:32 <Sgeo> My sliding blocks puzzle has a bug where you can click a piece diagonally adjacent, and it will go in
23:50:23 <Sgeo> What's the easiest way to scramble a sliding blocks puzzle? Simulating random valid moves?
23:50:52 <ais523> Sgeo: yep, to ensure it's solvable
23:51:04 <ais523> IIRC there's a parity rule on those things
23:51:20 <Sgeo> I think the original 14-15 was unsolvable
23:51:57 <ais523> hmm, what if you turn the 6 and 9 upside-down?
23:52:09 * Sgeo feels cheap for having used a 1 indexed [multidimensional] array, but it turned out to be handy
23:52:29 <Sgeo> The individual blocks have MoveTo() methods, that null out where the block came from
23:52:39 <Sgeo> So when starting up, I just say they came from 0,0
23:53:10 <ais523> couldn't you use a dedicated null value?
23:53:13 <ais523> like Haskell's Nothing?
23:53:23 <ais523> rather than forcing an absurd use of 0 in?
23:53:37 <ais523> this is as bad as Underlambda's adding 1 to all character codes so it can use 0 for EOF
23:53:46 <ais523> and it's an esolang, and so can get away with that sort of thing
23:53:59 <Sgeo> I happened to be using 1-based indexing anyway, to ease pain on my brain
23:54:10 <Sgeo> Although it occurs to me that it wasn't that helpful
23:54:15 <fizzie> Speaking of blocks, to follow-up on llbf (LLVM-targeting brainfuck translator), I wrote a Piet compiler that targets LLVM too.
23:57:19 <Sgeo> Well, it did, a little
23:57:39 <Sgeo> In-world, in a way that would be difficult to change, there was already a 1-indexed numbering scheme
23:58:07 <Sgeo> But that would just turn into a -1 in ONE place in my code, if I went with 0-indexed
23:58:18 <Sgeo> I'm already switching x and y
