00:08:30 <SgeoN1> I think there used to be chronological rulesets. I glanced at Agoranomic back in 2003 or 2005 or so.
00:08:37 <alise> Should the drop cap be {``E}? If so, does the `` extend into the margin? (Yes.)
00:08:45 <alise> Or should it be {E}, with a normal `` in the margin preceding it?

03:43:00 <zzo38> (I don't know if unicode has Greek blackboard bold, for one thing, and I don't know if these control graphics would be the same as unicode, my idea was using some special symbols to represent these control graphics instead of the way unicode does it)
03:43:46 <zzo38> If you might have noticed or not, the control graphic numbers are the same as the lowercase letters for those codes in a C program, for the ones that are usable in C strings.

03:53:00 <oerjan> you're on jordan.freenode.net in france. hth.
03:53:37 <zzo38> What I wanted to do is make a WEBMATH font (I might need help in many different ways), and then add a option in the next version of Enhanced CWEB to make it use this font, and then instead of overtyping the \ and n on each other it can use the TYPEWRITER CONTROL GRAPHIC NEW LINE OR LINE FEED character from the WEBMATH font.
03:53:48 <coppro> maybe seven doesn't have that feature
03:54:01 <oerjan> yeah that was about when it changed
03:54:06 <zzo38> The WHOIS does tell you.
03:54:35 <coppro> zzo38: yes, but for a while (probably on the old ircd) it would always reply with the server you were on, not the server the target of the request was on

03:56:24 <Gregor> eme, they're gonna be PISSED."
03:56:27 <Gregor> Two people have "liked" it.
03:56:34 <Gregor> I'm quite sure that neither of them have any idea wtf I'm talking about :P
03:56:35 <coppro> There are according to wikipedia 74384 ideographs and 107361 characters
03:56:54 <coppro> Gregor: extending UTF-8 is easily done
03:57:12 <Gregor> To eight bytes, yes. To nine bytes, no.
03:58:01 <coppro> oh, you care about the invariants
03:58:06 <coppro> right, yeah, you're stuck at 7
03:58:18 <pikhq> Gregor: Nine bytes is a TRIVIAL extension. We deprecate UTF-8 and move on to UTF-G_64.
03:58:21 <Gregor> Well, yeah. If we're gonna break all the invariants, what's the point :P
03:58:40 <coppro> actually, nah, it's easy
03:58:59 <coppro> 0b11111111 says that the next byte says how many more bytes are part of the same character :D
03:59:09 <coppro> (and they all start with 0b10
03:59:38 <zzo38> That way you can extend to more than nine bytes, then.
04:00:16 <coppro> you can run the sequence up indefinitely
04:00:20 <Gregor> coppro: Hmmmm, you've stuffed another layer of encoding into UTF-8, awesome X-d
04:02:57 <zzo38> In the 7-bit WEBMATH I don't have anything in 0x6D 0x6F 0x70 0x71, and in 8-bit I don't have anything in the high codes, but if you can make suggestion I can write it in

04:05:55 <zzo38> There is the list, you can see some spaces are not filled in yet
04:07:14 <coppro> how do you use a font in METAFONT
04:07:18 <zzo38> (I know some of the characters duplicate ones in AMS, but I want this to be able to be used without AMS)
04:07:28 <coppro> also, I do not support this project
04:07:46 <zzo38> coppro: You can write the codes for it, and then write other codes to make it load into TeX and other programs
04:07:54 <zzo38> That is how you use a font in METAFONT.
04:07:57 <coppro> fonts that do not respect Unicode should be shot
04:08:36 <zzo38> coppro: That makes sense in most cases to use Unicode fonts, but TeX isn't Unicode based, so instead we put 256 characters in one font
04:09:06 <coppro> why aren't you using iTeX yet?
04:10:09 <myndzi> coppro's method seems like it would be rather big
04:10:23 <zzo38> I don't want to use iTeX, I want to use Plain TeX
04:10:25 <myndzi> i think by the time you get up to 9 bytes another encoding method would be preferable for efficiency reasons
04:10:49 <coppro> myndzi: THINK OF THE CHILDREN
04:10:52 <myndzi> ..on the other hand, if you're using 9 bytes to represent one character, i guess another byte is having less of an effect at that point than it would be if you were using only two
04:13:27 <pikhq> zzo38: XeTeX is Unicode based. Suck it.
04:14:12 <zzo38> I looked at the iTeX description, and it completely makes nonsense!
04:14:39 <zzo38> pikhq: Can XeTeX work with Plain TeX?
04:15:49 <zzo38> What differences does XeTeX have from normal TeX?
04:17:00 <pikhq> It uses Unicode as its encoding, it supports OpenType fonts directly, and it outputs to PDF.
04:18:44 <zzo38> pikhq: Then that means I can't use DVI with it?
04:18:58 <zzo38> Does it also mean METAFONT can't be used with it?
04:19:33 <pikhq> It also supports METAFONT.
04:19:37 <pikhq> It doesn't do DVI.
04:19:42 <pikhq> DVI is an archaicism, anyways.
04:21:56 <zzo38> I think I still prefer the normal TeX system.
04:22:29 <Sgeo> What does LaTex use? Does it fit over any of these.. thingies, or is it TeX-only?
04:22:59 <coppro> btw, if you haven't seen, it, you need to watch http://river-valley.tv/media/conferences/tug-2010/Don-Knuth/
04:23:48 <zzo38> Wikipedia article for XeTeX says it uses LaTeX
04:24:35 <zzo38> I learned some things about METAFONT, I think it is not a bad program for designing fonts, however I cannot get it to work
04:24:36 * Sgeo is now 20 different types of confused
04:24:46 <Sgeo> Soon I'll be confused tracking all the ways I'm confused!
04:24:47 <pikhq> Sgeo: LaTeX is a set of macros for TeX.
04:32:35 * Sgeo terminally fails at references
04:32:42 <zzo38> One thing I like about Plain TeX opposed to LaTeX, is that in Plain TeX I can run "tex" only once and still have all cross-references and everything correct, with no auxiliary files.
04:42:08 <comex> well, I like Plain Text.
04:43:38 <zzo38> Why did they make LaTeX require multiple passes and a separate program to make index, and so on?
04:46:27 <zzo38> What do I need to make METAFONT work on MiKTeX?
04:47:19 <coppro> have you watched the video yet?
04:47:56 <zzo38> The video won't play
05:11:37 <zzo38> I got METAFONT to work now, but it still doesn't work in interactive mode?
05:13:12 <zzo38> Can fonts with METAFONT be converted to other formats, in case some other programg uses other formats?

05:42:20 <Sgeo> Erm, email it to you?
05:44:23 <zzo38> PDF has too many stupid features in my opinion

05:44:58 <coppro> nothing particularly remarkable about it
05:45:23 <coppro> no clue why you'd have a log

05:49:53 <Sgeo> A file format usable by most ereaders
05:50:33 <Sgeo> Hmm, the Map of Agora isn't exactly reflowable
05:51:14 <zzo38> How does epub work?
05:53:27 <zzo38> Is it like HTML or like PDF or DVI or like bitmap picture files, or how does it work?
05:55:33 <Sgeo> More like HTML than like bitmaps
05:55:52 <Sgeo> Very much like HTML, I think, actuallhy
05:56:07 <zzo38> What is its feature support, colors, fonts, printout, etc?
06:02:34 <zzo38> Perhaps I can make Icoruma->ePub, even, if I want to, or if anyone else wants to write a converter program for Icoruma documents. So, it would be useful if you wanted to write the rules for a role-playing game on ePub

06:30:09 <zzo38> Is there a userbox for TeX?
06:30:11 <Sgeo> I think the only mistake that could be present in a page of userboxes is a syntactical failure to include a userbox properly

11:30:45 <ais523> and it looks for common words at different places in the data source
11:30:56 <ais523> and jumps from bit to bit as long as there are words in common
11:31:01 <ais523> so the result makes sense locally, but not globally

12:44:51 <ais523> wow, after randomly browsing reddit, I just had a really evil idea
12:45:10 <ais523> what you do is, you decide that you want a class that contains, say, run() and eval() methods
12:45:31 <ais523> so, you get your OO language (say Java) to load every class it can access, and inspect it to see if it has those methods
12:45:39 <ais523> and if it does, you instantiate it and then run the methods
12:45:45 <ais523> what could possibly go wrong?
12:45:55 <ais523> (Bonus: this is actually how object orientation works in CLC-INTERCAL)
12:46:19 <ais523> (although at least it checks whether there's only one appropriate class, first)
12:50:42 <fizzie> Can you sensibly enumerate classes in Java, though? Reflection via a ClassLoader lets you look things up by name, but I'm unsure about listing them.
12:51:12 <ais523> just try all possible legal identifiers in sequence
12:51:30 <fizzie> Ah, the brute-force method.
12:52:31 <ais523> alternatively, you could use a bit of knowledge about how the default ClassLoader works, and just look through the entire filesystem to get the names of things that could be potentially loaded
12:53:47 <fizzie> I remember looking for a "list all classes you so far know about" method in java.lang.Package, but there wasn't any; even though there's a static java.lang.Package.getPackages() which asks the ClassLoader to list all packages it has seen.
12:58:44 <fizzie> The AI competition game GUI app looks for all .jar files in the current directory and its immediate subdirectories; for each .jar it peeks at the manifest for metadata that indicates a bot. I didn't really want people to have to fiddle with classpaths or so if they wanted to try out a bot-.jar they had.

13:14:24 <fizzie> Speaking of fungot, the explanation up there is conceptually speaking feasible, although if you want to pick some nits, technically speaking it's not "jumping from bit to bit", but instead it collects frequency counts for all n-tuples of consecutive words (where n is about 3 or 4 or so), and then just decides next word randomly based on the frequencies of all (say) 4-tuples where first three words match the current context.

13:16:56 <ais523> yep, it comes to the same thing, but it's a rather different implementation from what I suggested
13:18:01 <fizzie> Of course everyone can just take a peek at the sources to immediately see the implementation strategy.
13:18:34 <fizzie> I think there's even a comment in there.
13:19:04 <fizzie> Hmn, it seems that the comment simply says "pickword:", which might be a bit ambiguous.

18:12:31 <pikhq> Phantom_Hoover: Actually, it's more that *call stacks* are very similar to CPS.
18:12:56 <cpressey> Call stacks are crippled continuations
18:15:10 <pikhq> cpressey: Except when you add stronger stack manipulation.

18:17:23 -!- Gregor-P has joined.

19:04:35 <zzo38> I think it is $\emptyset$ for empty set symbol in TeX?
19:05:05 <zzo38> (I don't know if it is different for LaTeX, or for AMS-LaTeX)
19:05:46 <zzo38> I checked now, it is $\emptyset$
19:08:30 <Sgeo_> Wait, what's the difference between $\emptyset$ and \emptyset ?
19:08:43 <zzo38> If you are not in math mode you have to enter math mode first
19:09:14 <zzo38> Otherwise you would normally use it inside of a mathematical equation, so put $ around the entire equation instead of only around the \emptyset part
19:11:15 <oerjan> "many people prefer the look of AMS's \varnothing ... to that of LaTeX's \emptyset.
19:11:36 <zzo38> I suppose if you are using AMS you can use \varnothing instead
19:11:57 <oerjan> (from http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf which is _too_ comprehensive, took me ages to find the last one)
19:14:13 <zzo38> I have idea to add a few additional commands into TeX \rawread \rawwrite \boxpush \boxpop \boxenqueue \boxdequeue \tokpush \tokpop \tokenqueue \tokdequeue
19:15:05 <oerjan> that document seems to use LaTeX2e as the lowest common denominator, so nothing about just TeX specified
19:16:36 <cpressey> AMSTeX is the only TeX that matters
19:16:42 <cpressey> (Just trying to start a fight)
19:17:05 <zzo38> cpressey: I don't think so, there are many kinds that are used, they all matter
19:17:41 <cpressey> I don't care about TeX - I just want a sed that handles UTF-8 properly
19:18:03 <zzo38> cpressey: O, perhaps you can modify sed to do that, if you want it like that?
19:18:26 <cpressey> I'd sooner write a Perl script to do the replacements for me
19:18:54 <cpressey> Or Python, considering I have an idea of how Python's Unicode support works, but know nothing about Perl;s.
19:20:23 <cpressey> Wait, it does. I was just writing a bad regexp previously. Heheh.
19:20:42 <oerjan> Phantom_Hoover: http://omega.albany.edu:8008/Symbols.html is a bit more maintainable :D
19:21:20 <fizzie> cpressey: My sed doesn't handle UTF-8 properly in the sense that it'd understand multibyte sequences to be one character, but you can still do some simple operations even while it just thinks as sequences of bytes.
19:21:28 <oerjan> how the heck should i know, i just googled "tex symbols"
19:22:41 <fizzie> Wait, sed at home actually seems to be locale-aware. Freaky! It must've been some other sed that didn't do it right. (Or maybe I, too, wrote a bad regexp.)
19:22:41 <oerjan> Phantom_Hoover: the date "11 Jan 95" _could_ be a hint
19:23:29 <fizzie> "echo ä | sed -e 's/./x/'" => "x"; "echo ä | LC_CTYPE=C sed -e 's/./x/'" => "x¤". It certainly does locale-specificity.
19:23:38 <Phantom_Hoover> The union of any set with the empty set is equal to the original set, isn't it?
19:24:51 <oerjan> Phantom_Hoover: also, \cup is used as a binary operator, while \bigcup is generally used for indexed stuff, like the sigma sum symbol

19:30:51 <zzo38> Even more additional commands into TeX \foreach \alltolerate \readglue \readmuglue \processglue \processmuglue

19:32:18 <zzo38> cpressey: Do you use TeX?
19:32:34 <oerjan> or you could use \left( and \right) as parentheses if your formula is so big the usual ones become awkward
19:32:34 <zzo38> Gregor-P: And what would \krystalnacht and \myhead mean?
19:32:54 <cpressey> zzo38: I tried using LaTeX, once, years ago. Safe to say I've forgotten almost everything about it.

19:34:16 <zzo38> cpressey: Maybe in LaTeX you don't need to deal with glue. But Plain TeX uses glue values, which means the natural length, as well as how much it is allowed to be shrink and how much it is allowed to be long, for inserting spaces, such as spaces between words in lines of paragraph text.

19:39:43 <zzo38> Only the people that write it has to eat. (But not necessarily eating the pages!)
19:41:21 <zzo38> oerjan: Yes, you are probably right. But the programming that can be done in TeX is what makes it good idea in my opinion!
19:41:26 <cpressey> zzo38: You are so totally one of those grey aliens pretending to be a human, aren't you?
19:42:03 <zzo38> cpressey: No, I don't think so, not as far as I know, anyways.
19:42:51 <zzo38> I am one of those humans that perhaps it is not meant to be humans but is instead supposted to be some kind of weird monsters that actually doesn't exist and nobody knows nothing about, not even me.
19:42:57 <zzo38> But this is also doubtful.
19:43:10 <zzo38> cpressey: OK, believe what you want to believe either way
19:43:21 <zzo38> (But I am warning you!)
19:43:44 <cpressey> Warning duly noted. Constraining belief systems, please wait...
19:50:17 <zzo38> My Wikipedia userpage mentions rotary telephones, I still use them (I use touchtone as well), but I also use phone that must be pulsed manually, which is the easiest kind to build.
19:50:34 <zzo38> Because is simple and uses less component of others
19:50:57 <zzo38> Phantom_Hoover: Sorry, what Device do you mean? I don't know.
19:51:25 <cpressey> Really surprised that there are any phone companies in NA that still support pulse dialing.
19:51:47 <cpressey> Was just reading an article about technologies going "obsolete", by concidence
19:51:49 <ais523> north america, presumably
19:52:25 <cpressey> One of the technologies on this list is the "Computer Mouse"
19:52:27 <zzo38> I think everyone should still continue to support pulse dialing
19:53:07 <zzo38> So that anyone can build a telephone from just a few wires and it will work
19:53:14 <ais523> zzo38: do you think everyone should continue to support unsliced bread?
19:54:46 <zzo38> ais523: Yes, I think you can, however you can make it at home baking it, so you don't need to have it commonly available at the store if you do not want to
19:55:01 <cpressey> I think DIP packaging should be banned. Only surface-mount packaging should be manufactured. This will make it much, much harder for pesky individual hobbyists to experiment with electronics.
19:55:51 <zzo38> cpressey: I think both DIP packaging and surface-mount should be remain available.
19:56:29 <cpressey> Also, facetiousness should be punishable by being beaten with a sausage.
19:56:49 <zzo38> cpressey: What is the purpose of that?
19:57:13 <ais523> my first degree was in electronic engineering
19:57:21 <ais523> and surface mount is entirely possible to handle, just more annoying
19:57:38 <ais523> besides, call me back when you invent surface mount wire
19:57:46 <zzo38> ais523: Which is why both ways should remain available.
20:04:02 <cpressey> Sure, it are possible, but if only SM was available, I would probably choose something like kite-building over electronics as a hobby.
20:05:01 <cpressey> There's something I'm missing though, about hobbies I mean, but that's a different subject.

21:37:22 <cpressey> http://jyte.com/cl/i-have-used-at-least-10-different-programming-languages
21:38:16 <cpressey> I just counted -- I've used 18 "for serious". Counting Visual Basic, 8-bit Microsoft BASIC, and Business BASIC as different languages, and x86 and 6502 as different too.
21:38:23 -!- Sgeo has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds).
21:39:28 <cpressey> I can't count, like, Forth or Prolog, because I've just never gotten very serious with them.
21:45:05 <cpressey> Phantom_Hoover: Not even school projects? That you've enjoyed? I've done a school project in Prolog, and if I had enjoyed it, I would have included it...
21:45:42 <Phantom_Hoover> cpressey, I have whined endlessly about how terrible my school's computing course was.
21:45:46 <cpressey> Prolog is an excellent tool for expressing logical relations. A programming language -- not so much.
21:48:19 <cpressey> Phantom_Hoover: Write something you care about in it, and you could raise that 0 to a 1. (Just sayin'.)
21:48:58 <cpressey> But not in a way that you'd consider "for serious"?
21:50:03 <AnMaster> <cpressey> http://jyte.com/cl/i-have-used-at-least-10-different-programming-languages <-- what is jyte?
21:50:08 <cpressey> Well, I'm not really using that as a criteria. Almost everything I've written in Haskell or 6502 assembly has been for my own amusement.
21:50:29 <cpressey> AnMaster: It came up during my google search for Icoruma.
21:51:08 <cpressey> (1:36:24 PM) zzo38: (And if you want to type the rules of a role playing game, you might use Icoruma and then compile Icoruma files into other formats, such as TeX and HTML)
21:51:41 <AnMaster> cpressey, oh go to zzo's website. He is NIH
21:52:21 <Phantom_Hoover> AnMaster, really? I was strongly under the impression that zzo was invented here.
21:53:04 <fungot> Phantom_Hoover: mr president, commissioner, this is one of numerous documents which we ourselves have done in which you are facing up to the year 2012.
21:53:21 <fungot> Phantom_Hoover: mr president, as several speakers have drawn attention to the needs of a european space strategy together with the proposal on the general headquarters of the united nations.
21:54:04 <Phantom_Hoover> The UN are going to destroy the world in 2012 with European orbital weapons!
