00:00:51 <elliott> j-invariant: I'm more interested in "more formal" programming at this point than outright proofs, since I don't think those are practical at this point.
00:00:58 <elliott> basically Haskell's type system is insufficiently fancy :P
00:02:38 <elliott> j-invariant: what do you think of automatic differentiation?
00:02:53 <zzo38> Can we make a computer proof system based on Typographical Number Theory?
00:07:25 <elliott> http://blog.sigfpe.com/2005/07/automatic-differentiation.html <-- i read this a while ago
00:09:20 <elliott> but I can't figure out what the formula for addition is :(
00:10:33 <j-invariant> if it's a ring then (a+a'd)+(b+b'd)=(a+b)+(a'+b')d
00:11:09 <elliott> hmm st is the standard name for standard-part
00:11:14 <elliott> but what's the standard name for infinitesimal-part?
00:11:37 <j-invariant> elliott: look here wikipedia gives an implementation in terms of 2x2 matrices http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_numbers
00:16:01 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: Reboot).
00:17:05 <elliott> j-invariant: http://hpaste.org/42405/automatic_differentiation
00:17:13 <elliott> j-invariant: it can calculate the derivative of x^2 :P
00:17:22 <elliott> j-invariant: needs abs and signum, and more numeric type instances, to be useful
00:17:26 <elliott> j-invariant: but both (sq' 5) and (sq' 1.5) work
00:17:57 <elliott> j-invariant: for my next trick: implement symbolic numbers (a numeric type, plus names like "x"), do "Dual (Symbolic t)", and get symbolic differentiation out of it (this apparently actually works!)
00:20:17 <pikhq> Japanese pizza continues to disturbe me.
00:20:21 <pikhq> THE MAYO! THE MAYO!
00:21:40 -!- oerjan has joined.
00:22:01 <elliott> j-invariant: i guess symbolic differentiation is what happens when you don't think to compute :)
00:22:43 -!- Mathnerd314 has joined.
00:23:16 <pikhq> elliott: Automatic differentiation? Niceness.
00:23:57 <pikhq> Though perhaps limited in use. I mean, one can just do it numerically for most relevant cases. :P
00:24:30 <j-invariant> it's no fun writing a program that omits brackets
00:24:33 <elliott> j-invariant: Okay, so it's ugly, but CHECK THAT SHIT OUT.
00:24:43 <elliott> I did /not/ change the differentiation code at all.
00:24:48 <elliott> I just called it with a new numeric type.
00:25:09 <elliott> All it needs is a symbolic simplification function and it's an actual symbolic differentiator.
00:25:13 <j-invariant> elliott: why does it seem like you get something for nothing?
00:25:37 <elliott> j-invariant: I'm not sure ... I think it's because duals are basically infinitesimals
00:25:53 <elliott> just implemented in the same way as Q is implemented on top of Z, or C on top of R
00:26:05 <elliott> pikhq: the thing is, this differentiation is *precise*, and has no more overhead or complexity than using, say, complex numbers
00:26:15 <elliott> (of course there is overhead when using the symbolic types, but this does precise numeric differentiation too!)
00:27:24 <pikhq> elliott: Very very nice.
00:27:28 <j-invariant> elliott: what happens if you dualize dual numbers?
00:33:21 <pikhq> elliott: BTW, that is totally awesome. Really truely awesome.
00:33:24 <pikhq> God I love mathematics.

01:00:41 <zzo38> <[:]ra+s2s1[Al1rl2xY]xD>
01:05:46 <zzo38> What do you think might be the best way to implement the "English" feature of TeXnicard? (It is the feature to change word forms and change numbers to words, and it is meant to work also with languages other than English, too.)
01:06:32 <elliott> j-invariant: i think it does nothing, just like complicating (technical term!) complex numbers
01:07:22 <elliott> j-invariant: (a+a'd)+(b+b'd)d [
01:07:29 <elliott> j-invariant: (a+a'd)+(b+b'd)d = ...simplify it yourself i'm too lazy to :P
01:09:57 <elliott> does more simplifications now
01:10:39 <elliott> pikhq: another advantage of this method --
01:10:46 <elliott> pikhq: numeric differentiation of a function f requires 2 calls to f
01:10:56 <zzo38> How do you represent "b is a power of ten" in TNT?
01:10:58 <elliott> pikhq: automatic differentiation of a function f is not only more precise, but only requires 1 call
01:11:05 <elliott> pikhq: (to f extended to the duals)
01:11:19 -!- Mathnerd314 has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds).
01:11:28 <elliott> pikhq: so if f takes seven hours to compute (don't laugh -- automatic differentiation is used to differentiate whole physics simulations!), automatic differentiation is *much* faster!
01:12:20 <olsner> couldn't you make it data Dual t = Dual t (Dual t) to get all the nth-derivatives too?
01:12:37 <elliott> olsner: you could also do that just by iterating deriv :P
01:12:44 <elliott> deriv :: (Num t) => (Dual t -> Dual t) -> (t -> t)
01:12:45 <elliott> deriv f x = nf (f (Dual x 1))
01:13:29 <elliott> olsner: hmm i think you can do it with normal dual
01:13:41 <elliott> olsner: since Dual t (Dual t) ~ Dual (Dual t) (Dual t), with the first one being (Dual n 0)
01:13:47 <elliott> olsner: and Dual t already includes Dual (Dual t)
01:13:58 <elliott> olsner: what would the argument look like for "Dual t (Dual t)"?
01:14:01 <elliott> deriv f x = nf (f (Dual x 1))
01:14:10 <elliott> deriv2 f x = nf (f (Dual x (Dual 0 1)))?
01:14:13 <elliott> having trouble visualising it

01:15:17 -!- zzo38 has quit (Quit: Do not write below this line. Place stamp here. You must be present to win. No purchase necessary.).
01:15:59 <elliott> hey j-invariant what would the second argument be :P
01:16:32 <elliott> j-invariant: given data Dual2 t = Dual2 t (Dual2 t)
01:16:42 <elliott> j-invariant: what's the equivalent of "deriv f x = nf (f (Dual x 1))" but to do a second derivative
01:16:48 <elliott> nf just accesses the second field btw
01:16:59 <elliott> deriv2 f x = nf2 (f (Dual2 x (Dual2 0 1)))?
01:17:02 -!- zzo38 has joined.
01:17:05 <elliott> or is it (Dual2 1 1) there?
01:17:11 <zzo38> Hay! I told you not to write below this line!
01:17:12 -!- zzo38 has left (?).
01:17:31 <olsner> the second argument would probably still just be '1', relying on polymorphism to create the right Dual version of 1
01:18:01 <elliott> olsner: that would turn out to be (Dual 1 0)
01:18:13 <elliott> olsner: but what would a second be?
01:18:16 <elliott> you've really confused me dude :D
01:18:54 <j-invariant> elliott: I mean it's Dual2 f (Dual2 f' (Dual2 f'' (Dual2 f''' ...)))?
01:19:05 -!- Sgeo has joined.
01:19:09 <elliott> j-invariant: wow would that actually work?
01:19:18 <olsner> I think the only difference might be in the use of the nf function, let's say you make it nf 0 (Dual2 x _) = x; nf n (Dual2 _ x') = nf (n-1) x'
01:19:21 <elliott> j-invariant: except, the problem here is that f is a function not a number to start with :P
01:19:33 <elliott> j-invariant: that sounds cool, but actually I am just trying to do second derivative :-)
01:20:27 <Vorpal> Deewiant, very much down I think
01:20:32 <olsner> (that is, nf n is the nth-derivative, with n=0 being the value itself)
01:21:25 <Sgeo> Shockingly, if I force myself not to IRC, I'll find something else to do
01:21:31 * Sgeo glares at the Braid demo menacingly
01:21:48 <Deewiant> Vorpal: Oh well, I've had enough for today anyway
01:21:51 <Sgeo> Anyways, going to try going back on my meds tomorrow
01:21:57 <fizzie> http://p.zem.fi/ovya -- that just makes no sense at all, zlib uncompress() and java.util.zip.Inflate are supposed to do the same thing, as far as I can determine.
01:22:03 <Sgeo> Today, I'll still try to do something
01:22:07 <Vorpal> Deewiant, and I will hand you the resource
01:22:23 <Sgeo> Mathnerd314, as in, don't trust yourself to quit?
01:22:31 <Deewiant> Vorpal: Slow to log in still...
01:22:58 <Mathnerd314> Sgeo: no, I watched a playthrough online, in such excruciating detail that there's no point in playing it
01:23:05 <Vorpal> still sending me chunks, slowly
01:23:15 <olsner> data Dual2 t = Dual2 t (Dual2 t) is incidentally just an infinite list of t's
01:23:32 <Sgeo> I'm sort of watching a blind LP, but only up to the point that I solved already
01:23:34 <elliott> olsner: i still don't understand how it works though
01:23:42 <Vorpal> Deewiant, close to down though
01:24:07 <Sgeo> World 4's Hunt is fun
01:24:19 <elliott> olsner: wait, all this is pointless
01:24:21 <elliott> we have second derivatives already
01:25:02 <Vorpal> Deewiant, likely down again

01:26:03 -!- metalman has left (?).
01:26:13 <elliott> why doesn't everyone differentiate this way
01:27:16 <Sgeo> What's deriv's type and definition?
01:27:22 <elliott> deriv :: (Num t) => (Dual t -> Dual t) -> (t -> t)
01:27:22 <elliott> deriv f x = nf (f (Dual x 1))
01:27:39 <elliott> olsner: it seems that writing nderiv which takes the number of derivs as a param is impossible in haskell
01:27:41 <elliott> due to the stupid type system
01:28:01 <elliott> Mathnerd314: well i'd have to implement sin over dual numbers because IIRC it's in the relevant typeclass, Real or something
01:28:03 <Sgeo> pikhq just mentioned something about Dual numbers on FB
01:28:05 <elliott> so right now it can't do that.
01:28:13 <Sgeo> I'm still clueless
01:28:14 <elliott> Sgeo: well he noticed me talking about them. so
01:28:21 <olsner> elliott: I think you can do that with polymorphic recursion or what they call it
01:28:44 <elliott> Sgeo: dual number is a + bd for a and b, d is just like i, you can think of it conceptually as d^2 = 0
01:28:56 <elliott> Sgeo: (a+a'd) + (b+b'd) = (a+b)+(a'+b')d
01:29:09 <elliott> Sgeo: (a+a'd) * (b+b'd) = ab + (ab'+a'b)d
01:29:19 <elliott> Sgeo: say f* is the obvious extension of f to the dual numbers
01:29:28 <elliott> Sgeo: then f'(x) = nf f*(x+1d)
01:29:35 <Mathnerd314> elliott: I'm betting you can also think of it as a Taylor series.
01:29:41 <elliott> Sgeo: what the hell is AIIIEEEEEEEEE about that
01:29:52 <Sgeo> d^2=0 where d=/=0?
01:30:01 <elliott> Sgeo: i said you can think about it CONCEPTUALLY
01:30:52 <elliott> by applying the rule for multiplication we find the result is (0+0d) = 0
01:31:05 <elliott> but the important thing is that d is /not/ a real, it's a dual
01:31:19 <elliott> just like there is no real number whose square is -1
01:31:42 -!- FireFly has quit (Quit: swatted to death).
01:31:54 <Sgeo> So d is just a nonzero number, that when squared, is 0. Why do you keep yelling "CONCEPTUALLY"
01:32:21 <elliott> Sgeo: CONCEPTUALLY because otherwise you'll go crazy.
01:32:30 <j-invariant> it's odd that d^2=0 does not imply that d=0
01:32:32 <Sgeo> It's just another dimension
01:32:41 <elliott> and we want to work out f'(x)
01:32:49 <elliott> well, extend it to the duals
01:32:56 <elliott> f*(a+a'd) = (a+a'd) * (a+a'd)
01:33:15 <elliott> f*(a+a'd) = aa + (aa'+a'a)d
01:33:18 <Sgeo> I'll wiki it later
01:33:28 <elliott> f*(a+a'd) = a^2 + (aa')^2d
01:33:37 <elliott> now let's say we feed it (x+1d) for real x
01:33:59 <elliott> <elliott> f*(a+a'd) = aa + (aa'+a'a)d
01:34:10 <elliott> now let's say we feed it (x+1d) for real x
01:34:33 <elliott> now let's say we take the unreal (infinitesimal part of this)
01:34:46 <elliott> so, basically, for any function f
01:35:01 <elliott> Sgeo: you don't need to wiki it, i just explained it in the simplest terms possible
01:35:05 <elliott> and actually the WP article does not include this
01:35:15 <Sgeo> I'll reread clog later
01:36:13 <elliott> olsner: hm I think you are right
01:36:16 <elliott> olsner: that the existing Dual holds us back
01:36:19 <elliott> because each deriv has a different type
01:36:28 <elliott> we need Dual t, Dual (Dual t), Dual (Dual (Dual t)), etc.
01:38:09 <elliott> (Dual a a') * (Dual b b') = Dual (a*b) ((a*b')+(a'*b))
01:38:13 <elliott> olsner: *regrettably* I can't see how this can work
01:38:20 <elliott> olsner: (Dual here is Dual2 now, data Dual t = Dual t (Dual t))
01:38:25 <ais523> fizzie: you know fungot's anti-spam features?
01:38:37 <ais523> could you turn them off in PM? spamming isn't an issue there, and it'd make it harder to test things
01:38:51 <elliott> olsner: also, how would one define d?
01:40:26 <elliott> olsner: second derivatives do work like this though ... but I'm not sure these are dual numbers any more
01:40:32 <elliott> also, they don't have a nice prettyprinting :)
01:40:40 <elliott> olsner: what we really want is (Dual n t) for every nat n
01:40:50 <elliott> olsner: then nderiv could just dependent-type it up
01:40:57 <elliott> j-invariant: think this would be worth doing in Coq? :p
01:41:50 <fizzie> ais523: Isn't the only anti-spamming measure related to the chatting feature? Or do you want to somehow "test" that?
01:42:31 <elliott> olsner: well actually, you can do type-level nats in haskell
01:42:34 <elliott> olsner: am i insane enough to try
01:42:40 <olsner> elliott: of course you are
01:42:47 <fungot> oerjan: contestmaster without eir consent. if
01:43:04 <elliott> olsner: you do realise that Nth derivatives worked like this, just not Nth being parameterisable? :D
01:43:47 <fizzie> I can turn them off in PM in theory, but not very fast, certainly not today.
01:44:41 <j-invariant> elliott: do you have a theory of calculus?
01:45:43 <elliott> j-invariant: in what sense?
01:45:49 <Sgeo> What is e^epsilon?/
01:46:38 <elliott> j-invariant: sorry, I'm not understanding :/
01:46:50 <olsner> elliott: yeah, I just disregarded that immediately because N wasn't parameterisable :)
01:47:32 <elliott> olsner: http://sprunge.us/BWGX now get me a generic dN that works for all Dual types
01:47:47 <j-invariant> elliott: well something that says the 'd' part is the derivative
01:48:33 <elliott> j-invariant: I don't really have any formal backing to it other than "it works", no :)
01:48:40 <elliott> j-invariant: d is a bit of a misnomer here -- it's actually \epsilon really
01:49:04 <j-invariant> well you wouldn't get anything new from it would you?
01:49:15 <elliott> j-invariant: perhaps not ... but it sure is interesting
01:49:21 <elliott> and I think a theory can develop organically around it perhaps
01:49:50 <elliott> j-invariant: nf (f*(x + \epsilon)) -- I can imagine this is a theorem of non-standard analysis
01:49:53 <elliott> although I suppose I can't really be sure
01:49:59 <elliott> actually it might not be, since multiplication is different here
01:50:07 <elliott> olsner: actually hmm it's more fromInteger I want

01:52:42 <elliott> {-# LANGUAGE GADTs, EmptyDataDecls, FlexibleInstances, FlexibleContexts, UndecidableInstances #-}
01:52:44 <elliott> WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG
01:53:40 <olsner> hmm, I'm doing this wrong somehow, all my nth-derivaties end up the same as the first derivative

02:01:05 <fizzie> I don't think that will work, but I can comment on validity if you like.

02:17:39 -!- cal153 has quit.
02:18:04 <Sgeo> But if derivatives with duals just gives a number, what number could make sense for integrals, given that you always have a constant
02:18:08 <Sgeo> arbitrary constant
02:19:06 <fizzie> I have no idea how to communicate the bug there, posting on the getsatisfaction.com site sounds pretty much useless.
02:19:53 <elliott> olsner: wait what is the nf signature for this?
02:20:15 <elliott> fizzie: Notch "says" he's fixing getsatisfaction bugs but I doubt he's smart enough to understand your incisive analysis.
02:20:43 <elliott> Sgeo: erm well actually derivatives with duals give duals
02:20:46 <elliott> we just ignore the standard part
02:21:43 <fizzie> elliott: Yes, and the "common problems" list is 78 pages of 20 items (so >1500 items), and they get sorted by voting order, and that sort of a "problem" is probably rather unlikely to get any votes at all.
02:22:08 <elliott> fizzie: Admittedly it might take several tweets
02:22:28 <fizzie> If I can describe the issue in 140 chars, I'll consider that.
02:23:27 <elliott> fizzie: Bug: You allocate (xsz*ysz*5)/2 byte[] for compressed chunk data; if it's bigger, it gets truncated
02:23:38 <fizzie> Yes, something like that could work.
02:23:43 <elliott> fizzie: Bug: You allocate (xsz*ysz*5)/2 byte[] for compressed SMP chunk data; if it's bigger, it gets truncated
02:23:53 <elliott> (Perhaps noting client vs. server might help, too...)

02:25:19 <tswett> See, I know Finnish grammar. :P
02:25:37 <tswett> Vocabulary is all I need now!
02:25:59 <fizzie> tswett: Try something with more suffixes. Like "Also for a coffee drinker" in a single word. (That's one of our stock examples for justifying our statistical-morphemes based language models.)
02:26:26 -!- elliott has set topic: Also for a coffee drinker | http://tunes.org/~nef/logs/esoteric/?C=M;O=D.
02:26:30 <elliott> All so, for a coffee drinker.
02:26:35 <tswett> I have to wonder if linguists first saw that every word has initial stress in Finnish, and then concluded that everything without a stressed syllable must not be a word.
02:26:49 <elliott> Also, for... a coffee drinker?

02:29:31 <elliott> nf :: Dual (S n) t -> Dual n t
02:29:37 <elliott> now let's see if Haskell will accept that (doubtful!)
02:30:30 <elliott> it can even go out of the typeclass
02:31:10 <tswett> Whelp. There's only one way to learn Finnish.
02:31:25 <pikhq> Be born in Finland?
02:31:27 <oerjan> yep, you have to get into the sauna
02:32:36 <elliott> (DualS a a') * (DualS b b') = DualS (a*b) ((a*b')+(a'*b))
02:32:42 <elliott> I still can't figure out how to make this work.
02:32:48 <elliott> DualS :: (TN n) => t -> Dual n t -> Dual (S n) t
02:32:52 <elliott> TN just means Type Natural
02:33:01 <elliott> it bawls about infinite types
02:33:30 <elliott> I mean I think in the latter sum
02:33:36 <elliott> we need to cast a and b to DualSes
02:33:36 <pikhq> fizzie: 「コヒー飲み者の為にも」 *could* be considered a single word. Though it's really hard to say, because the notion of "word" in Japanese is rather... Vague.
02:33:39 <elliott> but is this even possible?
02:33:59 <pikhq> (kohînomimononotamenimo)
02:34:30 <pikhq> Erm, コーヒー, not コヒー.
02:34:46 <elliott> or add an instance declaration for (Num (Dual n t))
02:35:31 <fizzie> elliott: Incidentally, if I tweet like that, he'll probably just "fix" it by removing the "/2" from it... but I guess it's better than nothing. (Also Java Inflater doesn't seem to export zlib compressBound() function that'd give him an actual upper bound to use.)
02:35:48 <tswett> The only way to learn Finnish is via the Conversational Finnish course from the Foreign Service Institute.
02:35:55 <elliott> fizzie: wait, does he actually just assume compression will always halve the data?
02:36:08 <pikhq> tswett: I'm highly inclined to say "bullshit" on that.
02:36:20 <tswett> Okay, there may be other ways.
02:36:25 <tswett> But this is the only way I've found.
02:36:27 <elliott> olsner: IncoherentInstances
02:36:32 <fizzie> elliott: No, that's the uncompressed size. It' s 2.5 bytes per block. (Some data is stored as nybbles.)
02:36:39 <Sgeo> elliott, please tell me that you're talking about someone other than Notch
02:36:48 <pikhq> tswett: Though I suspect their courses are pretty close to the only *actual courses* that will get you competence in the language, surely not the only way.
02:37:08 <Sgeo> I'm going to assume then that someone is misunderstanding someone
02:37:14 <pikhq> (seriously, most language courses are absolutely, positively terrible, and actually no better than a freaking phrasebook)
02:38:02 <fizzie> Sgeo: Well, he *is* assuming that the compressed output it always <= than the uncompressed.
02:38:40 <elliott> No instance for (Num (Dual n t))
02:38:40 <Sgeo> Hmm... naive, but I can imagine not realizing that that's not always the case unless casually mentioned
02:39:01 <elliott> olsner: I think this is one of those cases where Haskell just doesn't want to play.
02:39:14 <tswett> Yeah, when I searched for 'learn finnish', every single Google result was useless.
02:39:34 <tswett> And I even looked through all 2.7 million of them.
02:39:51 <Sgeo> Hmm.. Isn't Soon ***SPOILER***
02:40:04 <Sgeo> Wait, it's not a spoiler. He's dead
02:40:15 <olsner> elliott: yeah, abusing the type system will usually end up like that...
02:40:32 <Sgeo> Also, isn't Azure City kind of ***SPOILER***
02:40:53 <oerjan> elliott: maybe you need a type class for what "n" is there
02:41:02 <pikhq> tswett: s/finnish/any language ever/ and you'll have similar results.
02:41:05 <Sgeo> elliott, lame OOTS references
02:41:14 <olsner> and my Dual2 version is working perfectly except it doesn't produce the right derivatives
02:41:22 <elliott> oerjan: it's just that, even though every constructor for Dual satisfies (TN n)
02:41:31 <elliott> oerjan: haskell doesn't realise this implies that Dual n t implies TN n
02:41:33 <tswett> pikhq: huh, I guess I haven't tried that with very many languages.
02:41:40 <elliott> oerjan: so because i use something that must be polymorphic over all duals in this case
02:41:45 <elliott> oerjan: it says "hey!! you don't have instances for this"
02:41:52 <elliott> oerjan: even though I have instances for the Z and (TN n) => (S n) case
02:42:06 <elliott> because GADTs can't have typeclass constraints on the actual type, just the constructors :(
02:42:12 <pikhq> tswett: The issue is that most people have this crazy idea that memorising phrases will eventually create fluency.
02:42:26 <pikhq> Or that memorising grammar rules will do the same.
02:42:51 <elliott> oerjan: wanna try and fix it? :D
02:43:45 <pikhq> Yeah, it works about as well as memorising multiplication tables produces competence at mathematics.

02:47:14 <elliott> Sgeo: Why is that your... favourite thing to do?
02:47:23 <elliott> tswett: Why is Ctrl+S disabled, and how?
02:47:28 <elliott> tswett: Presumably you cannot download a wget port.
02:47:48 <Sgeo> elliott, seems easier than installing wget etc
02:47:56 <tswett> I guess Chrome doesn't let you Ctrl+S something that hasn't loaded.
02:48:16 <Sgeo> Recently did that to help a girl download some sound file for use in her presentation
02:48:16 <tswett> Sgeo: you can use a data: URL to do that?
02:48:39 <Sgeo> tswett, data:text/html,<a href="http://example.com/some.wav">Download</a>
02:48:50 <Sgeo> There, you have a link
02:49:56 <elliott> oerjan: basically the issue is
02:49:59 <elliott> instance (Num t) => Num (Dual Z t) where
02:49:59 <elliott> instance (TN n, Num t, Num (Dual n t)) => Num (Dual (S n) t) where
02:50:09 <elliott> oerjan: do not, together, constitute an instance for (Num (Dual n t)) in Haskell's mind
02:50:25 <elliott> oerjan: because, even though every constructor of Dual has (TN n) in effect, this constraint is not on the type itself (and cannot be)
02:51:00 <Sgeo> elliott, use .... my mind is blank trying to come up with a sufficiently similar dynamically-typed language
02:51:20 <elliott> Sgeo: there is absolutely no call for a dynamically-typed language here; it is merely that the type system is too weak
02:51:44 <elliott> when your logic can't prove a given statement (and you really want to prove it), you don't switch to an inconsistent logic (which a freely typed language is), you switch to a more powerful one
02:52:31 <Sgeo> I really want to prove 1=2 >.>
02:53:47 <Sgeo> Because I was trying to be somewhat funny, and also a power powerful, consistent logic would not help there, yet an inconsistent one would
02:55:04 <olsner> elliott: I think I found the missing magic now: http://hpaste.org/paste/42405/automatic_differentiation#p42407
02:55:19 <elliott> data Dual t = Dual t (Dual t)
02:55:25 <elliott> olsner: this makes Shows completely unreadable
02:55:32 <elliott> olsner: I'm trying to do it the proper way -- a hierarchy of Dual types
02:55:39 <elliott> i.e. length-parameterised lists
02:56:10 <elliott> olsner: that does look cool though
02:56:15 <elliott> olsner: it's just, Show will be so ugly :/
02:56:16 <olsner> elliott: sure, Show always gives an infinite result :)
02:56:29 <elliott> olsner: any ideas around that? other than not using Deriv directly
02:56:39 <Sgeo> Bank of America blocks WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks claims to have dirt on Bank of America
02:57:08 <elliott> Sgeo: *claimed to, ages ago
02:57:27 <elliott> olsner: i mean your solution is more elegant obviously
02:57:36 <elliott> olsner: I want my hierarchy :P
02:57:42 <elliott> j-invariant: any opinions?
02:59:19 <olsner> elliott: Eq is a bit interesting too
02:59:32 <elliott> olsner: oh. indeed. that is quite a problem.
02:59:39 <elliott> olsner: e.g. consider piecewise functions.
03:01:58 <olsner> nope, never used it, only heard of it
03:02:21 <elliott> olsner: well I'm going to have a stab at it in Coq :P
03:02:54 <elliott> Inductive Dual T : nat -> Type :=
03:02:54 <elliott> | dualS : forall n, T -> Dual T n -> Dual T (S n).
03:02:54 <elliott> Implicit Arguments dualS [n].
03:02:57 <elliott> olsner: it's not difficult!
03:03:00 <elliott> and those are /real/ naturals
03:03:51 <olsner> probably much better suited for what you were trying to do than haskell
03:04:10 <elliott> olsner: yeah, but at the same time less -- instead of simple things like floats, you get constructive reals and other craziness :-)
03:04:27 <olsner> anyway, time for bed now that I've made the code output all the derivatives
03:04:30 <elliott> olsner: I think my original solution is the most elegant right now ... but yours is really nice
03:04:33 <elliott> if not for the infinite shows and no eq
03:04:38 <elliott> ugh, no eq is the worst part
03:04:45 <elliott> olsner: could you add, like, a list terminator?
03:04:54 <elliott> olsner: and then have one d for each possible length
03:05:01 <elliott> olsner: that way if you didn't use infinite lists it'd all come out finite
03:06:04 <elliott> lawl i think i've just kept olsner up for the next ten hours
03:07:30 <olsner> list terminators are ugly, but maybe it's possible to detect at which point all remaining derivatives will be 0
03:08:09 <elliott> olsner: ugly, but not as ugly as that show output, man
03:08:12 <olsner> or do something like use the longest list length of the two inputs to + and *, then let deriv construct a suitable length for what you asked it to do
03:08:56 <olsner> but it's like ... an ugly workaround for not having infinite memory and time available
03:09:39 <olsner> I'd rather just remove show and eq and say that duals are not showable and not comparable :)
03:13:06 <elliott> olsner: you need comparable
03:13:13 <elliott> olsner: foo n | n < 0 = bonk | otherwise = burp
03:13:23 <elliott> olsner: perfectly well-defined on reals, so it should be on duals

03:48:32 <elliott> oerjan: actually since there's (Real a, Fractional a) => RealFrac a I beg to differ; clearly there /are/ Real Fractionals
03:49:07 <oerjan> elliott: i was speaking about Integral
03:50:26 <elliott> oerjan: wanna write sqrt and sin and cos for dual numbers/?!?!?! or uh just tell me how to i guess
03:52:28 <oerjan> i have no idea but i _am_ expecting this to either break down or become horribly complicated (essentially encapsulating _all_ the derivatives) at about this point

03:57:45 <elliott> __s: I don't understand your question.
03:57:52 <__s> I wrote a befunge JIT
03:58:01 <__s> But it doesn't do machine code
03:58:28 <__s> Instead, it builds an AST. It seems to be fast enough though, outpaces my last interpreter on adder, primegen, mandelbrot
03:58:55 <__s> And my last interpreter was nearing 4x any other interpreters I could find
03:59:07 <elliott> __s: erm, does it support p and g?
03:59:13 <elliott> and yes, that still counts as a JIT
03:59:23 <__s> At p, it rebuilds if it isn't dead code or a nop
03:59:25 <elliott> __s: I bet it's slower than fizzie's jitfunge :-) (that did Befunge-98 too ... "sort of")
03:59:29 <elliott> __s: (and did native code)
04:00:01 <__s> https://github.com/serprex/Befunge
04:00:38 <__s> Don't mind the commit message, I haven't coded for the past week and I'd fallen into depression so I'm riding a bit of a coding high right now
04:01:55 <__s> I figure next step is to add an optimization pass on the ast, include some special case opcodes. Constant propagation should be very useful with how befunge programs are written
04:02:27 <pikhq> __s: It compiles just in time, making it a JIT.
04:03:41 <__s> So it's just that normally a JIT needs to generate machine code to pay for the cost of a JIT?
04:03:49 <pikhq> oerjan: Well, math on the duals is very *similar* to math on the complex numbers...
04:04:12 <__s> I figure static interpreters bolted on top of dynamic would otherwise appear on platforms that don't allow machine code generation
04:06:08 <elliott> <oerjan> next: a JTL compiler
04:06:11 <elliott> oerjan: CLC-INTERCAL has one of those.
04:06:20 <elliott> oerjan: named very similarly to your pun IIRC
04:07:33 <oerjan> it _would_ make sense to have that in INTERCAL
04:10:01 <elliott> oerjan: my method /cannot/ yet differentiate (1/x), it seems :D
04:10:35 <elliott> oh, division is just plain broken
04:10:39 <pikhq> elliott: It'd be surprising if it could, actually.
04:11:01 <elliott> aha the issue is that I have no subtraction I think :D
04:11:05 <pikhq> I'm *really* not sure how you could get ln(x) out of that easily.
04:11:23 <oerjan> um ln(x) is the integral
04:11:25 <elliott> pikhq: thankfully I don't have to! because last i checked the derivative of 1/x doesn't involve logarithms
04:11:35 <elliott> this snark is unwarranted though -- I just made the same mistake in another conversation!
04:12:00 <pikhq> oerjan: And to think, I got an A in calc I.
04:12:11 <elliott> pikhq: I got an A in addition
04:12:38 <oerjan> elliott: never take fourier analysis, ok?
04:14:20 * oerjan wonders if elliott was wooshed there

05:06:29 <oerjan> since a small adjustment has no effect on a real signum that isn't close to 0
05:06:48 <elliott> oerjan: but (1-1d) ~= 1 :)
05:06:55 <elliott> but right, yeah, you are of course correct
05:07:01 <elliott> I didn't even realise 'cuz I'm dumb
05:07:36 <oerjan> this is also the case for nonstandard reals

05:08:30 <oerjan> i'm not sure of the terminology there myself
05:08:46 <elliott> oerjan: hm what's |a+bd|? I think it's just |a|+bd
05:09:11 <elliott> but having it = 0+1d seems very silly... or does it?
05:09:50 <oerjan> if a and a' have the same sign, it is
05:10:41 <oerjan> basically it's |x|= x if x > 0 and -x if x < 0 and d makes no difference for comparison with 0

05:13:14 <elliott> since abs has to do a comparison
05:13:22 <elliott> I can use signum, can't I?
05:14:08 <oerjan> probably since you only need to compare to 0
05:16:35 <elliott> instance (Ord t) => Ord (Dual t) where
05:16:35 <elliott> compare (Dual a a') (Dual b b') =
05:16:41 <elliott> why does this think it needs (Num t) in the head?
05:18:17 <oerjan> do you have a Num requirement on Dual itself somehow?
05:18:54 <elliott> data Dual t = Dual t (Dual t) | Zero
05:19:00 <elliott> instance (Num t) => Eq (Dual t) where
05:19:04 <elliott> no idea how that go tthere
05:19:51 * oerjan doesn't see why you need 0 to compare for equality
05:19:56 <elliott> Dual a b == Zero = a == 0 && b == Zero
05:19:56 <elliott> Zero == Dual a b = a == 0 && b == Zero
05:20:09 <elliott> oerjan: so apparently, my code thinks the derivative of abs is 1
05:20:30 <oerjan> only for x > 0, hopefully
05:21:34 <elliott> oerjan: oh wait, that's the actual derivative, isn't it
05:21:45 <elliott> correction: my code computes the derivative of abs PERFECTLY
05:21:48 * pikhq comes to an odd realisation...
05:21:59 <oerjan> "only for x > 0, hopefully"
05:22:05 <pikhq> Technically, almost all of this game is optional.
05:22:22 <pikhq> There are 7 mandatory fights. Total.
05:22:34 <pikhq> Literally everything else can be skipped.
05:22:36 <elliott> pikhq: Play it skipping everything that isn't vital. I dare you.
05:23:27 <pikhq> elliott: Well, the boss fights would be *insanely* hard.
05:23:42 <pikhq> elliott: Except that on a new game plus, you keep your levels and personæ.
05:24:32 <pikhq> So you could have the infinity plus one sword and be able to one-shot everything but the optional boss.
05:25:33 <pikhq> Still. Damn. This game has a lot of room for speedrunning.
05:25:35 <elliott> *** Exception: /home/elliott/code/adiff/diff.hs:(51,4)-(58,11): Non-exhaustive patterns in case
05:25:39 <elliott> TIL: Breaking laws breaks laws.
05:25:52 <elliott> I suppose that things might, hypothetically, not like that.
05:26:01 <pikhq> Because you can skip everything but 7 bosses and cutscenes.
05:26:34 <elliott> pikhq: Insanely hard -- but there'd only be 7 of them.
05:26:45 <elliott> pikhq: So go for it. From the start. If you absolutely NEED to get some kind of weapon, get the one you can get without doing anything.
05:26:49 <elliott> And BEAT THE FUCKING BOSSES.
05:27:01 <elliott> pikhq: And put it on YouTube.
05:27:05 <pikhq> Probably impossible without really fucking up the RNG.
05:27:25 <pikhq> But with a new game plus, entirely possible, and I could start right now.
05:28:22 <Sgeo> Why am I: Awake. Not having eaten yet. And having done absolutely no work whatsoever?
05:28:52 <elliott> Sgeo: Because you don't like sleeping, you don't like eating, and you don't like working.
05:29:19 <Sgeo> I'm going to go back on my meds tomorrow
05:29:41 <pikhq> elliott: Seriously though, this is already a fairly hard game. And it's one of the easiest games from Atlus.
05:29:46 -!- jcp has joined.
05:30:04 <elliott> pikhq: I'm sorry, but if you don't start from scratch and do the bare minimum to complete the game, we can't be friends any more.
05:30:24 <pikhq> I'm strongly suspecting that grinding is mandatory without TASing.
05:30:36 <Sgeo> pikhq, what game?
05:30:52 <pikhq> Simply because you aren't getting any persona other than freaking Orpheus if you do that...
05:31:02 <elliott> pikhq: OK then. Complete the game doing it normally, but make sure you finish *only* with the infinity plus one sword. Nothing else.
05:31:10 <elliott> pikhq: Then new game plus and do the 7 boss fights and nothing else.
05:31:21 <pikhq> (which is like playing Pokémon with just the starter, *never leveling*)
05:31:38 <pikhq> (almost exactly, in fact.)
05:31:43 <elliott> I want to beat Pokémon with an unlevelled starter now :P
05:31:48 <Sgeo> I don't see a game name in scrollback
05:31:55 <elliott> (I know that's not a starter. But shut up.)
05:32:24 <pikhq> elliott: By comparison, starting a new game plus now would be like playing Pokémon with only a level 100 Mewtwo.
05:32:33 <pikhq> And then only doing the gym battles.
05:32:40 <tswett> Kansansatu, karhu, pala, suu, kettu, -pa, viimein, pohjoinen, päästä, juusto pääsi suusta...
05:32:44 <elliott> pikhq: No, because you have non-infinity+1-sword items.
05:32:48 <elliott> pikhq: Discard them now and do the 7 boss fights.
05:32:53 <tswett> I'm speaking Finnish, see? :P
05:33:41 <tswett> Now to stuff all these words into my brain!
05:34:13 <pikhq> elliott: On a new game plus you merely keep your cash, the items equipped, and your persona compendium. Which basically lets you *purchase* any persona you previously had.
05:34:19 <pikhq> elliott: Oh, and levels. Can't forget that.
05:34:25 <elliott> pikhq: Do not purchase anything.
05:34:34 <elliott> pikhq: Discard all non-infinity-plus-one-sword items. Discard all cash.
05:34:40 <pikhq> elliott: Except the persona needed.
05:34:46 <elliott> pikhq: Do not buy that either.
05:34:49 <elliott> pikhq: (Can you avoid doing so?)
05:34:53 <Sgeo> Discard #esoteric
05:34:57 <pikhq> elliott: No, this is actually impossible.
05:35:09 <elliott> pikhq: Buy the cheapest Persona possible.
05:35:12 <elliott> Discard the rest of the cash.
05:35:17 <elliott> pikhq: Enter first battle. Continue until the last boss is completed.
05:35:23 <elliott> pikhq: It should be fine, since you have that magical sword. Good luck :P
05:35:25 <pikhq> elliott: Unleveled starter...
05:35:30 <elliott> pikhq: ...with magic sword.
05:35:41 <pikhq> elliott: "Infinity plus one sword" is a trope name. It's actually *referring* to the persona.
05:35:55 <elliott> pikhq: I know it was a trope name ... but aww, I hoped it was a real sword.
05:36:02 <pikhq> Sadly, one of the bosses is immune to physical attacks.
05:36:13 <pikhq> So having the best *sword* in the game won't get you all the way through.
05:36:16 <elliott> pikhq: OK. Start game. Purchase persona. Discard all other cash and items. Boss fights.
05:36:24 <elliott> pikhq: And that doesn't matter; you can just do that one tediously and impossibly, surely?
05:36:34 <pikhq> elliott: Null. Physical.
05:36:38 <pikhq> elliott: You. Cannot. Hurt. It.
05:36:44 <elliott> pikhq: Then how is it killed? :p
05:36:58 <elliott> pikhq: How do you obtain the relevant magic?
05:37:13 <elliott> pikhq: Including the infinity+1 one?
05:37:38 <pikhq> The infinity+1 one can one-shot everything but a single optional boss that appears only in a new game plus.
05:39:07 -!- evincar has joined.
05:39:34 <evincar> What's the project and/or topic?
05:39:39 <pikhq> And anyways, this game is almost impossibly difficult if you can't do things like "healing" or "more than a few points of damage".
05:39:57 <elliott> pikhq: BUT IT CAN ONE-SHOT THEM.
05:40:02 <elliott> evincar: Various! I'm about to embed myself.
05:40:07 <pikhq> elliott: With one-shotting, yes, it's really easy.
05:40:09 <elliott> I've done some automatic differentiation code. It's fun.
05:40:42 <evincar> elliott: Into...what, exactly?
05:40:45 <pikhq> And technically I don't have the infinity-plus-one sword! Just the next-closest thing!
05:41:04 <elliott> pikhq: Replay it. Make sure you finish with only the infinity-plus-one.
05:41:05 <evincar> elliott: Oh, you mean embedden. :P
05:41:14 <elliott> pikhq: New game plus. Discard all other items. One-shot boss fights.
05:41:41 <pikhq> That will probably be a bit tedious, but easily doable.
05:41:55 <elliott> pikhq: YouTube the whole new game plus.
05:42:05 <elliott> evincar: Right now I'm ordering pikhq to do silly things with a game I've never played.
05:42:17 <pikhq> BTW, you should play this game.
05:43:18 <elliott> evincar: But this is nice!
05:43:28 <elliott> pikhq: I would ... except I have no PlayStation N, and Wikipedia suggested etc.
05:43:33 <evincar> I'm considering the terrible idea of creating a font authoring system.
05:43:38 <evincar> It's terrible because it's big, not because it's bad.
05:43:41 <pikhq> Which is like $99.
05:45:32 * tswett enters 31 cards into his flash card program so he can stuff them into his brain.
05:45:44 <elliott> evincar: What, isn't FontForge painful enough?
05:45:54 <elliott> pikhq: Fine, buy it for my Christmas present.
05:46:03 <pikhq> elliott: No income!
05:46:13 <evincar> elliott: No, less like FontForge/Fontographer/whateverthefontingfontsoftware and more like Metafont, but less like TeX.
05:46:14 <elliott> pikhq: YOU'RE NOT BUYING ME A PRESENT?!
05:46:46 <elliott> pikhq: What kind of hardware do you need to emulate a PS2?
05:46:54 <evincar> Also, I just realised I have the June 1957 issue of MAD, which contains an article by Donald Knuth.
05:47:19 <elliott> evincar: Awesome! The system of measurements?
05:47:23 <evincar> "The Potrzebie System of Weights and Measures"
05:48:06 <elliott> Wow, I cannot pronounce Potrzebie.
05:48:44 <pikhq> elliott: 4 core, really good GPU?
05:49:11 <evincar> elliott: I pronounce it according to the Polish pronunciation, since, y'know, family's Polish and all...
05:49:29 <elliott> evincar: What /is/ the Polish pronunciation of that?
05:49:33 <evincar> "Pot-sheb-yeh" is all I can do for you without IPA or SAMPA.
05:49:46 <elliott> Potterzebie, but without the te.
05:50:17 <elliott> pikhq: So my new laptop won't do it. :(
05:50:25 <evincar> oerjan: Depends on your accent, but it usually isn't, I don't think.
05:51:23 <elliott> pikhq: (2.13 GHz modern Core 2 Duo, 4 GiB RAM, high-end integrated graphics (GeForce 230M 256MB))
05:51:44 <elliott> pikhq: Oh, the PS2 is the Emotion Engine bullshit.
05:51:52 <elliott> pikhq: With, like, seventy processors ...
05:52:11 <elliott> pikhq: Hmm. I could hook the PlayStation up to the laptop display, though, couldn't I?
05:52:17 <elliott> (It's a stupid Mini DisplayPort thing, but I can adapter.)
05:52:23 <elliott> pikhq: (I have no TV in my room right now ...)
05:52:29 <elliott> (TODO: Fix that. Some day.)
05:52:36 <elliott> pikhq: Oh, do the recent PS2 models have digital out?
05:52:45 <elliott> I don't like me no analogue vidyas.
05:53:08 <elliott> pikhq: PS3 can't play PS1 games and is expensive.
05:53:09 <pikhq> Older ones, like mine, are backwards compatible.
05:53:14 <pikhq> All of them play PS1 games.
05:53:25 <elliott> pikhq: Oh, it's PS1 but not PS2. Right.
05:53:32 <pikhq> No, this one is PS2.
05:53:41 <elliott> pikhq: PS3 is incredibly ugly anyway, pre-Slim; the PS2 design has always been really nice IMO.
05:53:48 <elliott> And Slim and after is no-PS2, right?
05:53:55 <elliott> So yeah, I kinda want an actual PS2.
05:54:01 <coppro> elliott: just download a ps2 emulator
05:54:14 <elliott> coppro: I think we've established that my hardware is not up to that.
05:55:31 <elliott> pikhq: Today on "Names Wikipedia Likes To Use For Being More 'Neutral' Or Technically Correct That Nonetheless Confuse Just About Every Fucking Person Who Sees Them":

05:56:00 <elliott> pikhq: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_football (Football/English football/soccer)
05:56:11 <elliott> It wouldn't be so bad, if they didn't make EVERY LINK use that terminology too.
05:56:23 <coppro> elliott: that one is required too
05:56:50 <coppro> elliott: "football" is a page about all football games generally
05:56:53 <elliott> coppro: As a Brit, I would /vastly/ prefer Soccer to the current name.
05:57:03 <elliott> ("Soccer" was invented by an Englishman, anyway.)
05:57:12 <elliott> coppro: Nobody says "association football".
05:57:15 <evincar> Hmm. I may have to say I *had* that MAD issue, as I can't seem to find it at the moment. It may have been in such poor condition that it got thrown away without my realising it. But I know I've read it, and it was an original printing.
05:57:16 <elliott> Nobody says "corrugated fiberboard".
05:57:29 <elliott> NOBODY says "fixed-wing aircraft" apart from maybe people who already know what they are in /detail/.
05:57:32 <pikhq> elliott: At least, nobody says "association football" in the past century.
05:57:46 <augur> elliott: are you skilled in it?
05:57:51 <pikhq> elliott: "Soccer" *is* a contraction of that, after all.
05:58:00 <augur> i know what a fixed-wing aircraft is :|
05:58:04 <augur> not that i'd say it, but
05:58:06 <elliott> Yes, but nobody says that.
05:58:13 <elliott> augur: I know all about its horrible, horrible corners and I can write code in it.
05:58:14 <augur> rotating-wing aircraft!
05:58:23 <elliott> It is a horrible language, and I would like to avoid doing so whenever possible.
05:58:25 <augur> elliott: and video games? do you play them?
05:58:34 <elliott> augur: Uh, on occasion, yes.
05:58:57 <augur> would you like to make a game with me?
05:59:08 <elliott> augur: Um. Does it involve coding JavaScript?
05:59:48 <Sgeo> I'm C#-enabled
05:59:55 <elliott> augur: I refuse to work on anything Sgeo works on.
06:00:02 <elliott> augur: Would there be a server-side part? :p
06:00:15 <augur> elliott: possibly, but preferably not
06:00:16 <elliott> Unity looks like it doesn't have real JS, just "UnityScript", anyway.
06:00:25 <Sgeo> elliott, you've worked on PSOX
06:00:28 <elliott> augur: There's also Boo, which is python and thus horrible.
06:00:31 <Sgeo> Mostly deleting stuff, but still
06:00:36 <elliott> Sgeo: Only to try and de-shittify it (which didn't work).
06:00:51 <elliott> augur: Are you /sure/ there's not a server-side part that I could lovingly craft in Haskell?
06:00:53 <Sgeo> Removing its sandboxing mechanisms is "de-shittifying it"?
06:00:59 <augur> elliott: im sure :(
06:01:03 <elliott> augur: In fact, why don't you just use OpenGL and the whole thing can be in Haskell. :p
06:01:05 <augur> my dearest haskell
06:01:20 <augur> elliott: because unity is a nice little cross-platform engine
06:01:35 <elliott> augur: It's also closed-source, which -- being a fag -- makes me want to stay well away from it.
06:01:42 <evincar> elliott: He's right, you know. Unity is alright.
06:01:47 <elliott> (Note: Fag justification possibly flimsy.)
06:01:58 <augur> elliott: you're also a homosexual.
06:02:01 <elliott> Oh and it looks like its UI does its own widgets, ew. (See, even flimsier.)
06:02:14 -!- sebbu2 has joined.
06:02:15 <augur> i think you can dick around with UI stuff
06:02:17 <Sgeo> elliott, just like The GIMP!
06:02:26 <Sgeo> [in the past][I think]
06:02:40 <elliott> Sgeo: Um, the GIMP invented GTK+ because /there were no toolkits/.
06:03:04 <augur> so does anyone want to work on a scifi videogame?
06:03:14 <elliott> augur: So in conclusion, I'll work on your Unity-based, UnityScript-or-C game if it's actually OpenGL-based and Haskell. Hell, I demand a change from sci-fi to fantasy and from video game to drinking game while I'm at it.
06:03:40 <elliott> augur: No but seriously, you should do it in OpenGL and Haskell.
06:03:40 <Sgeo> I can learn UnityScript >.>

06:04:32 <oerjan> elliott: an opengl drinking game in Haskell? sounds like the thing.
06:04:32 <evincar> elliott: Functional programming languages have never seemed particularly well-suited to game development, in my mind.
06:04:36 <elliott> augur: You really don't want to work with Sgeo. (I am doing a service to Sgeo here as well as you :P)
06:04:50 <elliott> evincar: The only reason they seem unsuited is because the default IO monad model is _broken_.
06:05:04 <elliott> evincar: There is a functional way to do effects, FRP; it's sort of like event-based programming, but purely functional.
06:05:22 <Sgeo> elliott, I'm assuming augur is not an idiot. And you don't think I'm an idiot, do you?
06:05:33 <elliott> Sgeo: I refuse to comment.
06:05:34 <evincar> elliott: Let me guess. The state of the program is a function of the current moment and all events that have happened up to the current moment?
06:05:43 <elliott> evincar: That's the shitty, non-functional model.
06:05:48 <evincar> elliott: Well, that's what it ought to be. ;P
06:05:55 -!- sebbu has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds).
06:05:56 <elliott> evincar: No, that's just the State monad, faked as a function.
06:06:01 <Sgeo> elliott, you once defended me when Vorpal made a comment...
06:06:03 <elliott> In fact it's the IO monad faked as the State monad faked as a function.
06:06:15 <oerjan> Sgeo: we'll consider that question once you've done your homework... >:)

06:07:01 <elliott> oerjan: yes, but he can procrastinate without irritating me :)
06:07:21 <evincar> elliott: Well, another time, perhaps. I don't doubt it, I just find that it's easier for me to use an imperative style for realtime apps and leave declarative for editors and stuff like that.
06:07:27 <elliott> and a sodding rubbish christmas to you lot, too!

06:16:13 <oerjan> omg he is secretly ed!
06:17:04 <tswett> Words stuffed. That took about ninety seconds per word. Now let's see if I can understand any of this story whatsoever.
06:19:00 <tswett> "Karhulla oli juustonpala suussa." Something to do with a bit of cheese and a mouth.
06:19:21 <tswett> A bear, a bit of cheese, and a mouth.
06:19:23 <oerjan> `translate Karhulla oli juustonpala suussa.
06:19:29 <HackEgo> Bear was a piece of cheese in your mouth.
06:19:39 <tswett> I'm sure that's exactly what it means.
06:20:07 <tswett> Okay. -lla denotes the adessive case, which means... either in or on, lemme see.
06:20:25 <oerjan> `translatefromto fi en Karhulla
06:20:34 <tswett> Now, "oli"... some form of "olla".
06:20:38 <oerjan> `translatefromto fi en oli
06:20:51 <oerjan> `translatefromto fi en juustonpala
06:20:54 <tswett> Third-person singular indicative past. "Was".
06:21:08 <oerjan> `translatefromto fi en suussa
06:21:20 <tswett> I think "juusto" is "cheese"; who knows what the "n" is all about. "Pala" is "bit".
06:21:27 <oerjan> The bear had a piece of cheese in its mouth, perhaps?
06:21:37 <tswett> Finally, -ssa is "in".
06:21:47 <tswett> So. "On the bear was a cheese-bit in the mouth."
06:22:01 <tswett> Or, more idiomatically, "The bear had a piece of cheese in its mouth."
06:22:18 <Gregor> `translateto en a piece of cheese
06:22:27 <Gregor> `translateto fi a piece of cheese
06:22:48 <tswett> Gregor, your bot's translations into English are truly brilliant.
06:22:54 <oerjan> `translateto no a piece of cheese
06:23:04 <tswett> The phrase "a piece of cheese" captures every nuance of the phrase "a piece of cheese".
06:23:23 <tswett> Okay. Next sentence...
06:23:32 <oerjan> tswett: oh i don't know, it's a bit imprecise
06:23:51 <oerjan> i mean, what was the cheese's motivation?
06:24:05 <tswett> "Kettu pyysi sitä monta kertaa, mutta karhu ei sitä ketulle antanut."
06:24:30 <tswett> Well, "kettu" means "fox". So... something about a fox. "Karhu" is still "bear". I think "mutta" might be "but".
06:24:37 <tswett> `translate "Kettu pyysi sitä monta kertaa, mutta karhu ei sitä ketulle antanut.
06:24:39 <HackEgo> "Fox asked for it many times, but the bear does it gives the fox.
06:24:52 <Gregor> tswett: It's just Google.
06:25:10 <tswett> Gregor, your bot's invocations of Google are truly brilliant.
06:25:25 <oerjan> apart from the missing ei -> not, that was pretty understandable...
06:25:47 <tswett> Well, I don't recognize any of the other words, so I'm just going to move on to the next sentence.
06:26:29 <tswett> "Kettu kysyi viimein: 'Tiedätkö mistä nyt tuuli käy?'"
06:26:49 <tswett> The fox does something finally: "Something something something something something?"
06:26:56 <tswett> `translate Kettu kysyi viimein: 'Tiedätkö mistä nyt tuuli käy?'
06:29:14 <tswett> Gregor: the source-of-fun has stopped yielding fun! Labor in order to make us feel better!

07:07:02 <Sgeo> What is 0/epsilon?
07:12:56 <Sgeo> So, I want to find f'(5) where f(x) = x^2
07:14:05 <Sgeo> (5+eps)^2 = 25 + 2*5*eps + eps^2
07:14:37 <Sgeo> Correct result, awesome
07:15:30 <Sgeo> I'd try it with e^x but don't know how to do n^eps, is it 0 or something weird like that?
07:15:53 <Sgeo> I can find out!
07:16:25 <oerjan> e^eps is probably 1+eps
07:17:24 <Sgeo> e^eps must equal something + eps...
07:17:34 <Sgeo> oerjan, why 1?
07:17:46 <oerjan> it has to be close to 1 because eps is close to 0
07:18:44 <oerjan> more generally, i find the approximation e^x ~ 1+x for small x is useful for head estimates...
07:20:12 <Sgeo> Now, for the dual part of eps^eps
07:20:42 <Sgeo> (1+eps)^(1+eps) = something + 0eps

13:37:20 <fizzie> Sure, but I mean "abnormal" in the sense of "not like the usual lighting rules".
13:38:25 <Vorpal> fizzie, it's the default texture pack I think
13:38:59 <fizzie> Could be, I haven't looked at that lately. :p

14:08:44 <Phantom_Hoover> Fortunately, Mary Sue has been cleansed of self-nominations.
14:11:00 <Phantom_Hoover> In other news, I finally worked out the relationship between differentiation and integration in my head, 3 years after learning calculus.
14:12:26 <Phantom_Hoover> http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/TroperTales/EverybodyHatesMathematics
14:23:12 <olsner> Phantom_Hoover: hmm, what's the relation between integration and differentiation?
14:24:38 <olsner> I mean, did you just realize what the words mean, or did you find a more profound relationship?
14:30:20 <Ilari> And since everybody hates matematics... It is easy to disinform using creative statistics... :-)
14:32:34 <olsner> Phantom_Hoover: it "happens"? I've always thought integration and differentiation was something you *did* rather than something that just happens
14:33:04 <Phantom_Hoover> olsner, "the reason differentiation and integration are inverses of each other", then.
14:38:46 <olsner> I never managed to learn the definition of integration, but for me integration means semi-intelligently guessing a function that has the correct derivative
14:39:28 <olsner> and then they're simply inverses by definition :)
14:49:04 <Phantom_Hoover> olsner, yes, but the other meaning of (definite) integration is the calculation of the area under a curve.
14:49:40 <Phantom_Hoover> Which has, on the face of it, absolutely nothing to do with gradients of curves at a point.
15:12:18 <olsner> cut wrist, install gnustep?
15:12:56 <Phantom_Hoover> ("dev" isn't fancy enough for the GNUstep people, apparently.)
15:23:49 <olsner> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1sXuHnf_lo
15:40:24 <Phantom_Hoover> I'm only installing GNUstep because Oolite was originally written in Objective-C, and noöne could think of a better way to port it to other platforms.

17:16:29 <elliott> I has two useful commits to push.
17:18:16 <elliott> Deewiant: Yes, but fizzie said it was going to be public-push, and that sounds more fun than having my own repo. :p
17:20:20 <fizzie> Yes, I can add you as a collabomator there, soon. (What's the two things?)
17:21:08 <elliott> fizzie: //coords, which does some printin' of coordy actions (because F3 gets overwritten with graphs a lot), and I changed the "pure white" colour to in fact just use the terminal's default colours, so it works on lightbulb-y terminals too.
17:23:00 <elliott> fizzie: Is it "easy" to inject chat packets?
17:23:05 <elliott> If so, I'll make //coords do that.
17:23:25 <elliott> (The colour code syntax would be nice, too; I know it involves that wavy S thing.)
17:26:12 <fizzie> inject_to_client(packet_new(PACKET_CHAT, "foo")); will probably make 'foo' appear on the client.
17:26:23 <fizzie> (Just #include "common.h" and "protocol.h" for that.)
17:27:58 <fizzie> And the color code syntax is just §-in-UTF8 followed by a character out of [0-9a-f], the palette is also somewhere.
17:28:15 <fizzie> Or you can look at the color code decoding to map between palette and terminal colors.
17:29:13 <fizzie> UTF-8 in strings probably might not be quite safe, but you can use something like "foo \xc2\xa7dbar" to get bar in color d.
17:29:16 <elliott> fizzie: If I put the actual UTF-8 byte in the source, you'll hate me, won't you?
17:29:21 <elliott> Aww, see, see, you preempted me.
17:29:26 <fizzie> Yes, and it's not a byte, it's two.
17:29:38 <elliott> fizzie: Oh man, I have to use sprintf. Isn't that great?
17:30:31 <elliott> I'll just make a 96-byte buffer; 's a power of two, and my envelope calculations tell me it'll work right up until Notch switches to 128-bit coordinates.
17:31:15 <fizzie> What should I write in the collaborator thing? Is it a github account name or what? Are you that "ehird" guy?
17:31:41 <elliott> fizzie: I may be that ehird guy, yes.
17:31:45 <elliott> And I think that's what you put in there, yes.
17:32:00 <elliott> I am also that alise guy, but I use that account even less than this one.

17:33:58 <fizzie> No, but when you hand a packet to inject_foo, the corresponding proxy thread will deallocate it when it has been injected.
17:34:21 <elliott> fizzie: What is your favourite colour?
17:34:36 <elliott> (I need to pick a colour for the mcmap chat messages that isn't red (hMod) or purple (COBOLSERVER 3000).)
17:34:51 <fizzie> Aw, I was going to go all purple.
17:35:10 <elliott> fizzie: I think ineiros would strike down upon thee.
17:35:36 <fizzie> The pink is quite sexy too, but I guess that's rather close to purple.

17:36:45 <fizzie> I vaguely recall seeing yellow somewhere, but not sure where.
17:37:02 <fizzie> Right, the "left the game" "joined the game" messages are in yellow.
17:37:08 <elliott> j-invariant: well, yep; it works properly, for Nth derivatives, parameterisable N, and finite shows

17:48:44 <elliott> fizzie: Also shows white as the terminal's default colour.
17:50:13 <elliott> fizzie: Interestingly, (0,0) isn't the spawn; it's three chunks that were presumably the original spawn, then a biome disconinuity.
17:50:21 <elliott> I guess the spawn was changed right away for whatever reason.
17:56:32 <fizzie> Yeah, I f3'd the spawn a while ago.

18:48:13 <olsner> what is that thing you're working on anyway?
18:48:17 <elliott> Actually turns out I already did that.
18:48:22 <elliott> olsner: A Minecraft server proxy that does all kinds of fancy stuff.
18:48:34 <Vorpal> olsner, I assume you play mc
18:48:46 <Vorpal> (since almost everyone does)
18:48:49 <olsner> Vorpal: you can assume whatever you want :P
18:48:50 <elliott> That's ... not even false.
18:49:10 <Vorpal> elliott, like, more than half of the Swedes I know seem to have mc
18:49:45 <olsner> *more* than half? that implies you know more than two swedes!
18:50:11 <Vorpal> elliott, blame git or github
18:50:28 <elliott> Since git pushes are usually very fast and GitHub's HTTP is very fast.
18:50:31 <Vorpal> elliott, ssh is fast in general
18:50:39 <olsner> it seems to imply that anyway, it depends on what it takes for you to think it "seems" like someone has mc

19:04:32 <olsner> mmkay, well paging involves flags, what's the big deal? :)
19:05:34 <elliott> fizzie: You do realise that every time you call do_die, it's with "%s", msg, thus making the printf part of do_die rather useless? :p
19:06:02 <fizzie> Or of it is, it wasn't when I wrote it.
19:06:04 <fizzie> There's the dief macro still.
19:06:09 <fizzie> It's not my fault if I don't use it.
19:06:22 <fizzie> (Because the instances have been changed to stopfs.)
19:06:27 <fizzie> (And I think those still use do_die.)
19:07:34 <elliott> fizzie: (I want to make do_die use log(), but I can't, really, because it does two prints.)
19:08:04 <elliott> Prediction: <Vorpal> ...logarithms...
19:08:07 <Vorpal> elliott, why is it an issues it uses 2 prints
19:08:12 <elliott> Because log() does one print.
19:08:35 <elliott> So I can't use log() in do_die().
19:08:40 <fizzie> I do use math.h here and there, I'm not sure how I feel about the name-conflict.
19:08:44 <Vorpal> elliott, are they macros?
19:08:53 <elliott> fizzie: OK, I'll rename it.
19:09:06 <elliott> fizzie: printlog, probably.
19:09:43 <fizzie> Yes, the do_ prefix is not visible to calling code.
19:09:47 <olsner> sounds like you want a va_list variant of log or something like that
19:09:52 <fizzie> It's just the underlying function for the die/dief/log/logf macros.
19:09:55 <elliott> olsner: not really, it's more involved than that
19:10:07 <elliott> olsner: I need a va_list variant that also takes /another/ format and two extra args for that one :P
19:10:35 <fizzie> olsner: Yes, the code in question does one vfprintf and one fprintf and expects them to be concatenated.
19:10:41 <fizzie> Anyway, you can just use a buffer there.
19:11:10 <olsner> vararg-macros perhaps? #define foo(fmt, ...) real_log_printf("%d" fmt, timestamp(), ##__VA_ARGS__)
19:11:45 <olsner> I think the ## magic is an gcc-extension though, without that you'll have interesting issues when doing foo("bar") with no extra args
19:12:43 <olsner> what's the problem with doing two prints though?
19:14:08 <fizzie> olsner: The "print" adds the timestamp, so the calling code -- which does fprintf(stderr, "DIE: %s:%d: ", file, line); vfprintf(stderr, fmt, ap); -- would end up having those two things split in two separate timestamped lines.
19:14:16 -!- pikhq has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds).
19:15:03 <fizzie> Incidentally, the ## gcc-onliness is why I have a die() macro and a dief() macro separately. (Though I already have nested functions and whatnot, so gcc-extensions aren't really much of an issue.)
19:15:57 <nooga> do you guys know some debuggers for DOS?
19:16:32 <olsner> djgpp might include a gdb for dos
19:16:50 <nooga> i want to tap into one game's memory and check some stuff there
19:16:58 <olsner> that gdb probably only works with DPMI or dos4gw though
19:17:26 <fizzie> elliott: Have fun fixing conflicts with what I just pushed to github, though.
19:18:02 <fizzie> I also fixed the leak you had added in cmd_slap.
19:18:11 <hagb4rd> hell..this awesome footage make one's flesh creep

19:18:33 <elliott> fizzie: If this were scapegoat ...
19:20:03 <fizzie> I sort of liked the "//goto: usage: //goto x z" over "usage: //goto x z", but whatevers.
19:20:33 <olsner> hagb4rd: koyaanisqatsi is boring
19:20:59 <elliott> fizzie: Really? It seemed like super-weird duplication to me.
19:21:06 <hagb4rd> is it? it's the final scene right
19:21:14 <fizzie> elliott: I'm super-weird like that.
19:21:36 <hagb4rd> guess you have to tune in someway.. or just be in the right mood
19:21:50 <elliott> fizzie: Guess how lucky I am?
19:21:56 <elliott> fizzie: That's right! I get to rewrite handle_chat!
19:23:07 <fizzie> Just use a glib string and g_string_append_printf/g_string_append/g_string_append_whatever instead of those separate prints.
19:23:08 <elliott> fizzie: Hmm, is there a "more efficient" way than str_join to build up a big ol' string incrementally in glib?
19:23:13 <elliott> See, look at that, you're so helpful.
19:24:07 <fizzie> GString *s = g_string_new(""); and so on; then at the end you do a "gchar *cstr = g_string_free(s, FALSE);" and it gets rid of the glib string structures but gives you the single c-string back.
19:24:51 <elliott> (But, so I don't end up saying it in my head all the time when coding: LOLOLOL CONSTRUCT A NEW G-STRING ahem.)
19:25:16 <olsner> sounds like something stuffed with loads of dynamic allocations and indirection... how will you handle out-of-memory errors in log_print? :)
19:25:25 <fizzie> olsner: It's not "real" logging.
19:25:35 <fizzie> olsner: It's just whatever ends up in the stdout of the program.
19:25:43 <elliott> But you can totally tee it to a file, man.
19:25:49 <Phantom_Hoover> hagb4rd, why does the rocket change a short way into that video?
19:25:59 <elliott> fizzie: http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/stable/glib-String-Chunks.html This is probably better than a GString, but GStrings look more convenient.
19:26:05 <elliott> (LOLOLOLOL CONVENIENT G-STRING HAHA ahem.)
19:26:24 <hagb4rd> Phantom_Hoover? ..this is the challanger
19:26:36 <fizzie> You're printing out silly text to the console, I'd really just go with the convenient choice.
19:27:30 <hagb4rd> it's not even a space shuttle
19:27:41 <Phantom_Hoover> For one thing, the Challenger disaster was 4 years after Koyaanisqatsi was released; for another, that rocket is clearly a Saturn V in the early bits of the video.
19:28:31 <Phantom_Hoover> No, I mean the rocket that blows up is not a Saturn V.
19:28:45 <hagb4rd> yes.. changing some states.. you can say indeed

19:34:06 <elliott> There's some garbage after the space but I think that's handle_chat.

19:36:12 <fizzie> Not too fast. I can benchmark quickly. Depends also on the model. How so?

19:36:55 <hagb4rd> thats kind of precise :) thx

19:37:40 <elliott> fizzie: Turns out it doesn't matter!
19:38:01 <fizzie> The command-line version is a Perl script, though; one could whip up a trivial C version to be real fast. And it does the whole disk-reading-all-the-time (though I suppose disk cache will take care of that).

19:45:53 <elliott> Oh, I'm without enough space.
19:45:59 <elliott> fizzie: Still, I would like it if it appended Z for UTC.
19:46:08 <elliott> fizzie: In fact, perhaps it doesn't really need to put the timestamp there at all.
19:46:13 <elliott> fizzie: People know what timezone they're in, right?
19:46:43 <fizzie> Or you could s/localtime/gmtime/, put a Z in there manually, and just say it logs in sensible-time instead of local-time.
19:46:44 -!- Sasha has joined.
19:47:01 <fizzie> Or, or, or! Timestamp in Internet time!
19:47:15 <elliott> <fizzie> Or you could s/localtime/gmtime/, put a Z in there manually, and just say it logs in sensible-time instead of local-time.
19:47:19 <elliott> If this were meant to be a useful log, sure.
19:47:27 <elliott> But actually it's just so that you can see general timestamps :P
19:47:53 <elliott> fizzie: In fact, I probably shouldn't bother logging dates. Nobody *really* wants to log this to a file.
19:48:13 <fizzie> Yes, %H:%M:%S or even [%H:%M:%S] could be okay.
19:48:31 <elliott> fizzie: There's already bra-kets around the [CHAT] and the like, so that would look weird.
19:48:52 <fizzie> It's not a very serious matter, the formatting of this thing.
19:48:54 * elliott separates it out into a print_timestamp function to use in do_die.
19:49:30 <fizzie> Did you already merge in my changes that add more plain printfs inside world.c? :p

20:29:06 <pikhq> His new router hands back 192.168.1.1 for every DHCP request.
20:29:08 <fizzie> Yeah, I should probably just buy a polygon-filler and draw the indicators with that.
20:29:38 <pikhq> Meaning there's several systems on the same network with the same IP address.
20:30:06 <elliott> pikhq: Completely randomly? :P
20:30:17 <pikhq> Erm, sorry, 192.168.1.2, not 192.168.1.1.
20:30:26 <pikhq> It just hands the same damned IP back.
20:30:28 <fizzie> It's the one-person router.

20:31:10 <pikhq> elliott: I'll probably do that to the old one.
20:32:00 <elliott> pikhq: Was there any reason to change the router? :P
20:32:29 <elliott> fizzie: Do you really have to buy one? I mean, you just do one more/less pixel each time.
20:33:17 <fizzie> Well, the rectangles are already with FillRect.
20:33:27 <fizzie> The triangle-drawing is a bitmap though.
20:33:35 <pikhq> Whoo, the old one is currently supported by OpenWRT.
20:33:43 <fizzie> I guess eight-directional triangles I could just special-case instead of using a general-purpose polygon routine.
20:33:54 <fizzie> Well, I'll fix that at point X.
20:34:24 <elliott> fizzie: N-directional triangles would be fun too, though.
20:35:31 <fizzie> Yes, but I don't want to redraw the map all the time just when you move your head around.

20:41:20 <elliott> nooga: gdb can do remote debugging via serial port.
20:41:24 <nooga> the game uses dos4gw i thinkk
20:41:27 <elliott> nooga: Perhaps you can convince a compiler to cross-compile for DOS with support for that?
20:41:30 <elliott> Also, djgpp has its own stuff.
20:41:34 <elliott> nooga: Oh, so you don't have the code.
20:41:36 <elliott> nooga: I think you're fucked.
20:41:41 <elliott> Try DOSEmu maybe? It might have gdb support.
20:41:51 <elliott> fizzie: I think mcmap should come with its own service manager, to restart mcmap if it ever dies.

20:48:34 <olsner> grr, bochs' debugger only displays the lower 32 bits of address space when you ask it to dump the page tables
20:50:01 <elliott> olsner: Try remote gdb. :p
20:50:06 <elliott> (Note: Requires kernel support.)
20:50:14 <olsner> since it seems I have made my current page table work maybe I won't bother, but it would be really nice if it could a) actually display all mapped pages, b) check for errors in the page tables and complain visibly
20:50:18 <elliott> (And a serial port driver.)
20:50:29 <olsner> hmm, how would kernel support be involved in asking bochs what it's emulating?
20:54:06 -!- Phantom_Hoover_ has joined.
20:54:25 <elliott> olsner: remote gdb requires a serial driver, I mean
20:54:29 <elliott> and I think kernel support

20:55:28 <olsner> surely that is not required to connect gdb to bochs
20:55:41 <elliott> olsner: You mean ... debug bochs itself?
20:55:50 <elliott> I mean debug your kernel as it runs in qemu/bochs (qemu has better support IIRC).
20:56:00 <olsner> no, I am talking about debugging the thing running in bochs
20:56:04 <elliott> Although, actually, bochs has all the support, right?
20:56:08 <elliott> Can't you just use bochs/gdb?
20:56:23 <olsner> I can, but gdb is useless for this debugging

20:57:41 <olsner> well, I already know what bytes the tables contain, what I'm interested in is what it's being interpreted as so that I can see what's wrong
20:58:30 <elliott> fizzie: Hmm, it would be nice if your current (x,z) coordinates were in a corner of the mcmap window.
20:58:58 <fizzie> Why don't any of you file these things in the github?
20:59:27 <fizzie> Anyway, it would also be nice to have (optional) coordinate labels (say 100 block divisions) at the edge of the window too.
20:59:40 <elliott> fizzie: I'm a developer, dammit, USERS file bugs, not me!
20:59:59 <fizzie> Well, you can also implement that as you will, but you'd better do the text-drawing ELEGANTLY.
21:00:07 <elliott> fizzie: I'm not sure what you mean with coordinate labels, though?
21:00:20 <elliott> fizzie: Also, I'd just use a TOTALLY SNAZZY BITMAP FONT that I would have JUST MADE UP AT THE TIME.

21:01:01 <elliott> fizzie: No, but you have it installed already. :p
21:01:10 <pikhq> Because a euphemism ceased to have non-euphemistic usage.
21:01:13 <elliott> (glib isn't part of SDL either.)
21:01:24 <fizzie> elliott: Not the development packages.
21:01:32 <elliott> fizzie: Well, that's your fault!
21:01:38 <elliott> fizzie: I think I had to install glib-dev. :p

21:29:00 <elliott> fizzie: So how do you feel about the wonderful wonderful GPLv2?
21:32:57 <fizzie> I don't feel very strongly about licenses, as long as they are something sensible. GLfunge is GPLv2, I think.
21:32:59 <elliott> fizzie: Oh, I'll just bundle https://github.com/antirez/linenoise for simplicity. It can probably do the same things as this.
21:33:05 <elliott> (editline sucks ass, it turns out.)
21:35:00 <fizzie> I'm not sure I'd go to the trouble of bloating that thing with a real line-editing library (even one that says "20k lines of code" as if twenty whole thousand lines is somehow small), but then again, I'm not the one doing it.
21:35:22 <fizzie> The line-editing will be something like ten times the size of mcmap itself, though.
21:35:32 <fizzie> wc -l *.c *.h => 2433.
21:35:52 <elliott> * line editing lib needs to be 20,000 lines of C code.
21:35:55 <elliott> /* linenoise.h -- guerrilla line editing library against the idea that a
21:35:56 <elliott> * line editing lib needs to be 20,000 lines of C code.
21:36:04 <elliott> fizzie: It's just from the guy who made Redis; I found it when googlign.
21:36:10 <elliott> fizzie: There's a good chance it does what editline doesn't.
21:36:25 <elliott> Although it is actually 21k lines. :p
21:36:36 <elliott> fizzie: But anyway, you're "meant" to just include it in your program.
21:36:38 <elliott> (And hey, Android uses it.)
21:36:41 <fizzie> Okay, it is a bit more reasonably sized.
21:37:36 <elliott> fizzie: What, 21k is more reasonable than 20k?
21:38:10 <elliott> fizzie: You can just place leaves like that?
21:38:13 <elliott> fizzie: Dude, let us place bedrock.
21:38:22 <fizzie> I'd rather you didn't.
21:38:32 <fizzie> Since it's not possible to actually get rid of it.
21:39:56 <ais523> hmm, I'm planning to put unobtanium in one of my computer games
21:40:06 <ais523> the theory being that it's completely indestructable or movable by any means whatsoever
21:40:07 <fizzie> If I'm looking at the right https://github.com/antirez/linenoise then linenoise.c is 599 lines (544 sloc), and linenoise.h is 56 lines (50 sloc); so if there isn't a lot more code hidden somewhere, it does look more reasonably-sized.
21:40:21 <elliott> Oh, indeed, it is. I wonder how I miscounted.
21:40:21 <ais523> thus, it's completely useless; it has a bunch of highly useful properties, but there's no way to actually obtain the stuff to use it yourself
21:40:44 <elliott> ais523: (bedrock is useful because you can build indestructable buildings out of it; so making it non-unobtainium would make it uselessium)
21:40:50 <ais523> yep, I thought there might be an equivalent
21:40:53 <elliott> fizzie: Can I replace mcmap with a shell script that starts mcmap.real under ledit? :p
21:40:55 <ais523> *it might be an equivalent
21:41:06 <fizzie> You can do that at home.
21:41:12 <ais523> it's just that unobtainum is a hilarious name for it, as it's normally used as a placeholder name for incredibly valuable fictional materials
21:41:15 <elliott> Right, but not in polite company.
21:41:31 <elliott> fizzie: I'd use ncurses, but that would screw up >file.
21:42:40 <elliott> fizzie: I think I'll try the actual readline.
21:44:34 <fizzie> If you *want*, you could add some #ifdefs that let the taint-fearing user disable that bit.
21:44:40 * augur taints elliott's code
21:44:52 <elliott> fizzie: It is the FSF's considered opinion that that does not prevent the STD from spreading.
21:44:59 <elliott> Unfortunately, they are probably right.
21:46:27 <Phantom_Hoover_> elliott, the whole clisp thing is rather more complex than "he made it readline-compatible".
21:46:40 <fizzie> Well, you could create a fork in github. (Though would a person then be allowed to contribute same code to both projects?)
21:46:45 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover_: I know how complex it is.
21:46:48 <Sgeo> taint, as in, forced to use GPL?
21:47:09 <elliott> fizzie: I think I might just include readline and force you to GPL it, because it, unlike all the other libraries, does not mess up when other input comes along.
21:47:34 <elliott> fizzie: (Perhaps one day someone will write a better line-reader and we can round up all 2 contributors to get them to agree to a license change.)
21:48:03 <fizzie> Well, if you make it work with readline, that's all right for me.
21:52:20 <elliott> Ooh, silly-todo: Option to rl_ding() when someone mentions your name. :-)
21:52:56 -!- BRASIL has joined.
21:57:12 <Deewiant> elliott: Is rlwrap or equivalent not an option
21:57:14 * oerjan vaguely suspects hagb4rd of confusing spanish and portuguese
21:57:32 <elliott> Deewiant: Sort of, but it's nicer to have it directly in there (and fizzie won't let me turn mcmap into a shell script.)
21:57:43 <fizzie> But you can do that at home already!
21:57:56 <Deewiant> I'd just let people turn it into a shell script
21:58:09 <fizzie> Or make your own startup script start mcmap within some sort of readline-wrapper and minecraft.
21:58:30 <fizzie> I just don't want the "main" branch to require some arbitrary readline-wrappers to run.
21:58:54 <elliott> fizzie: Right. Thus building it in :P
21:59:13 <elliott> Anyway I'd have to do, like, 99% of the work anyway if I was using fread etc.
21:59:15 <Deewiant> Make a script that checks for the existence of rlwrap/whatever in some preferred order and picks the first it finds
21:59:19 <elliott> In fact more, since readline() handles allocation for me.
22:01:47 * oerjan does a whois and now vaguely suspects hagb4rd of being a native spanish speaker
22:02:49 -!- BRASIL has left (?).
22:03:57 <fizzie> elliott: Or you could use glib's "read a line with automagic allocations" function, and the wrapper you prefer.
22:04:20 <elliott> fizzie: "I'm fizzie look at me I'm fizzie." SORRY FIZZIE I'VE ALREADY WRITTEN THE READLINE CODE AND JUST NEED TO HANDLE SIGNALS
22:04:22 <fizzie> (But I don't mind the readline dependency either, so whatever makes you happy.)
22:04:24 <elliott> I wish it didn't have to be this way.
22:04:32 <elliott> Deewiant: Yeah, using glib is ALWAYS fun
22:04:45 <hagb4rd> i'd like to learn more languages.. i love spanish, and as far as i know at least written are spanish and port. very similar
22:04:47 <fizzie> "Just need to handle signals" doesn't sound very nice either.
22:06:13 <hagb4rd> but it sounds very differently @oerjan
22:06:31 <oerjan> hagb4rd: yeah it's just that i think olé is very stereotypically just spanish. however i _did_ have to look it up to check it isn't in portuguese :D
22:06:37 <elliott> <fizzie> "Just need to handle signals" doesn't sound very nice either.
22:06:43 <elliott> fizzie: readline is /meant/ to do it, it just isn't doing it properly :D
22:07:10 <fizzie> I hope you're not sullying my oh-so-pristine utility with ugly and hacky workarounds.
22:07:18 <oerjan> <- doesn't _actually_ know either of them
22:08:23 <elliott> Deewiant: Editline fucks up when someone else talks.
22:08:34 <elliott> Also it didn't handle signals either, so shut up and let me fix this bug :P
22:10:21 <elliott> 22:09:41 [DIED] main.c:81: proxy thread (server -> client) write failed

22:10:35 <elliott> if (*line) add_history(line);
22:10:35 <elliott> inject_to_server(packet_new(PACKET_TO_ANY, PACKET_CHAT, line));
22:10:55 <fizzie> Well, it happens if you get disconnected for any reason.
22:14:14 <elliott> fizzie: Oh -- it was "Chat message too long."
22:14:16 <elliott> fizzie: What's the max length?
22:14:29 <fizzie> About a hundred bytes.
22:14:44 <fizzie> 103 or something, IIRC.
22:15:17 <fizzie> Possibly s/bytes/characters, not entirely sure on that.
22:15:38 <fizzie> (It needs to be in UTF-8.)
22:16:05 <elliott> 22:15:22 [CHAT] Player list (1/10): ehird
22:16:18 <elliott> Now just a bit of signal-handling and WE'RE DONE
22:16:35 <elliott> OK, so it also segfaults on ^D despite resetting the terminal correctly; I've no idea why.
22:16:49 <fizzie> /who is an alias for that.
22:17:14 <hagb4rd> do you guys like electro music?.. in case you
22:17:22 <elliott> fizzie: It's probably thread-related issues, I bet.

22:18:13 <elliott> fizzie: Nor //goto. But "whatever", I say.
22:18:23 <elliott> fizzie: (Unless you have a generic send_chat_to_server_maybe function somewhere?)
22:19:21 <fizzie> No, I don't. You could check for // and call cmd_parse instead of inject_to_server if you like.
22:19:53 * oerjan wonders why you double /'s in minecraft...
22:20:05 <fizzie> The interface for cmd_parse is a bit strange, it'd be something like cmd_parse(line+2, strlen(line)-2);
22:20:12 <elliott> oerjan: you don't, it's mcmap's command syntax
22:20:21 <elliott> oerjan: since /foo are server commands, we decided to play it safe
22:20:31 <elliott> oerjan: (since we intercept the chat packets)
22:21:07 <fizzie> As long as the server doesn't start to implement any // commands.

22:29:13 <elliott> fizzie: Does glib have any special signal-handler functions?
22:32:42 <fizzie> I don't recall having used any.
22:34:45 <fizzie> The underlying threads are pthreads (at least that'd be my assumption), and those have signal masks if you want to mess with which thread handles signals, but I'm not sure if glib's threading side exposes that.
22:34:55 <fizzie> It's a bit platform-specific weirdness.
22:35:06 <fizzie> Signals and threads don't tend to be a happy combination.
22:36:26 -!- zeotrope has joined.
22:37:53 <elliott> fizzie: Yeah ... I just want these signal handlers to execute, in, like, "every thread".
22:39:43 <fizzie> As far as I know, you can't do *that* in a plain pthreads thing. With luck you can just make sure it executes in one particular thread.
22:40:16 <elliott> fizzie: So "just do the readline in another thread" was your way of saying "ha ha". :p
22:40:38 <fizzie> I didn't really know readline dabbles with signals.
22:41:17 <fizzie> In retrospect I guess it has to for the terminal-caused ones, but anyhow.
22:41:18 <elliott> Function: int rl_set_signals (void)
22:41:19 <elliott> Install Readline's signal handler for SIGINT, SIGQUIT, SIGTERM, SIGALRM, SIGTSTP, SIGTTIN, SIGTTOU, and SIGWINCH, depending on the values of rl_catch_signals and rl_catch_sigwinch.
22:41:23 <elliott> fizzie: How else do you think it resets the terminal?
22:41:26 <elliott> I suppose I could use an atexit...

22:42:19 -!- Sgeo_ has joined.
22:42:44 <elliott> An alternate interface is available to plain readline(). Some applications need to interleave keyboard I/O with file, device, or window system I/O, typically by using a main loop to select() on various file descriptors. To accomodate this need, readline can also be invoked as a `callback' function from an event loop. There are functions available to make this easy.
22:42:48 <elliott> fizzie: WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO
22:43:02 -!- Sgeo has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
22:43:29 -!- nooga has joined.
22:43:41 <fizzie> I'm not entirely sure that will help you.
22:44:07 <fizzie> Given that you can'd do "wait for SDL events" and "select() on a fd" simultaneously.
22:44:48 <fizzie> Also, I think I'll be sleeping now.
22:46:35 <fizzie> I think hooking to atexit is where SDL does it's emergency cleanup too.
22:46:51 <fizzie> Though actually I'm not quite sure.
22:47:48 <fizzie> It might also install signal handlers of its own, because if the SDL_Init is before the blockinmg "wait-for-connections" call, you can't interrupt it with ^C any more.
22:49:39 <fizzie> Are you entirely sure you don't want to do the input-line handlinmg cleanly in another process?-)

23:16:06 <elliott> [[Superosity is the greatest comic in existence. There are many comics in existence that have earned genius-level Comic Quotient's (CQ) for short periods of time. Calvin and Hobbes demonstrated that a CQ of 145 was possible by combining beautiful artwork, kinetic humor, and philosophically balanced characters with a semi-episodic story structure. Jim Davis, the creator of Garfield, once earned a CQ of 136 for a six month period in the late 1980s
23:16:06 <elliott> and has consistently held himself in the mid 120's by applying a consistently minimalistic banality. Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, holds the honor of maintaining 128 for more than six years in a row. Family Circus, on the other hand, continues to exist in syndication despite a CQ below 80.
23:16:06 <elliott> Superosity however, holds the distinction of having achieved an average CQ of 193 over the last ten years. This places it approximately five and a half standard deviations away from the average mainstream comic. This singular fact would appear to be mysterious if not for the concomitant fact that creator Chris Crosby is truly a creative genius of the type that Greek Myths would be written about (and by) if this were presently a Greek World.]]

23:20:52 <elliott> Sgeo_: You could just disable editing.
23:21:21 <Sgeo_> elliott, I think I'd need access to server-side config stuff to disable editing?
23:21:36 <elliott> Vorpal: fizzie: https://github.com/fis/mcmap; now with chatting support. (I accidentally called it readline in the commit message, oh well.)
23:21:51 <elliott> Vorpal: Doesn't handle // commands because of internal structure, but it's fully readline-enabled.
23:22:02 <elliott> I think that redirecting output to a file now doesn't work for some reason, however; I'll fix it later.
23:22:11 <elliott> Sgeo_: Probably. If the rest of the pages are like that then spam is an improvement.

23:25:24 <Sgeo_> elliott, genuine content:

23:26:54 <Sgeo_> Even more: http://wikisuperosity.com/index.php?title=Boardy
23:32:16 <Sgeo_> You can never accuse me of not having esoteric taste
23:32:27 <Sgeo_> Hmm, eccentric might be a better word
23:34:57 <fizzie> elliott: I'm pleasantly surprised at how small the commit is. I was expecting something quite a lot more horrible. (Yes, yes, I'm still asleep.)
23:35:12 <elliott> fizzie: Yes, well, they do call me the God Of Code.
23:35:24 <elliott> fizzie: (Really, though, the only bug was ^D and ^C handling, which required thought more than anything else.)
23:35:49 <elliott> fizzie: (Readline thankfully does the right thing if you \r before printing, \n after, and then force it to redraw the line.)
23:36:07 <elliott> fizzie: Re: redirecting to a file -- but now it has industry-standard timestamping!
23:36:46 <elliott> fizzie: BTW, hypothetically, it might be nice if snow-covered things just got tinted.
23:36:52 <elliott> fizzie: Rather than, you know, becoming invisible in a sea of snow.
23:37:12 <fizzie> elliott: It doesn't quite do completely the right thing.
23:37:23 <fizzie> If you write an input line that's longer than the offending input, the trailing bits are left.
23:37:48 <fizzie> You probably need a \r<clear-to-end-of-line>[new output]\n instead of just \r[new output]\n.
23:38:06 <elliott> fizzie: Very well then. (I should probably get a global set up for is_doing_readline_stuff to separate all this out.)

23:38:15 <elliott> fizzie: (And also that'd let you disable readline at compile time, for all the embedded system uses.
23:38:37 <elliott> fizzie: Vorpal apparently runs mcmap on another machine to the one he connects on for no apparent reason.
23:38:45 <elliott> fizzie: Perhaps we should OPTOMIZE(tm) for LATENCY.
23:38:48 <fizzie> I thought he had quasi-sensible reasons.
23:39:01 <elliott> fizzie: "Um, uh, RAM something this, full screen that."
23:39:01 <fizzie> Anyway, it tries to be low-latency, though not very hard.
23:39:20 <elliott> fizzie: It seems that he has a machine with not much RAM and a good GPU, and lots of RAM and a crap GPU.
23:39:22 <fizzie> Mainly what it does is "forward the packet immediately after reading it".
23:39:43 <elliott> fizzie: Tomorrow, I might see about saving the map state to a file.
23:40:07 <fizzie> Anyway re clean-end-of-line, I don't mind if you just do \x1b[K instead of actually using the proper sequences from terminfo.
23:40:08 <elliott> Also giving reeds a colour. They need one.
23:40:20 <fizzie> Given that it already does colors with hardcoded escapes.
23:40:26 <elliott> I was thinking printing spaces or something; I'm kinda dumb.
23:40:30 <Sgeo_> Wow, the meds are really helping me focus on anything but homework
23:44:11 <fizzie> At some point you could add auto-wrapping (maybe even try it dumbly at spaces/hyphens when it looks okay) to forcibly conform the 100-char limit. Just in case one pastes in something and forgets to think about it.
23:44:17 <fizzie> But now really honestly gone.
