00:05:40 <oerjan> cheater-: you can read the irc logs from yesterday or was it the day before, i haven't finished the wiki markup yet
00:05:57 <oerjan> (also the wiki section on the minsky machine)
00:06:08 <elliott> i would totally mention something involving the words cheater and feed but it'd be cliche and i'm a conversational hipster
00:06:27 <elliott> or a conservational hipster. man, I help to save this totally obscure animal, you've probably never heard of it.
00:06:47 <oerjan> *the wiki section in underload
00:07:30 <oerjan> elliott: ok so postscript being tc is pretty obvious, it has many more commands than that
00:07:42 <elliott> oerjan: err, i was just talking about the fact that cheater- is a troll.
00:07:49 <elliott> postscript being tc is very obvious
00:07:53 <elliott> especially as a lot of anagolfers use it :)
00:07:55 <oerjan> but it _is_ at base pretty much a concatenative language like underload
00:08:07 <cheater-> that must be about some other person using your nick :D
00:08:26 <elliott> yeah oerjan is really stupid obviously.
00:08:28 <elliott> that's what i know oerjan for.
00:10:14 <oerjan> elliott: well you never know, maybe i do something that puts him in so much awe that he repents and stops trolling
00:10:35 <oerjan> and starts genetically engineering airborne pork instead
00:10:40 <elliott> oerjan: you realise saying that will make him not shut up for hours :)
00:11:26 <cheater-> oerjan: it's not obvious to me
00:11:40 <cheater-> oerjan: we were talking in -blah about postscript and i was wondering if it's tc
00:11:58 <elliott> ok something is very wrong here.
00:11:59 <cheater-> and i thought i remembered it was, but decided to ask here for confirmation and for making conversation
00:12:27 <cheater-> yes, tkae a shower elliott, we can cut the air with a cheese knife :X
00:13:31 <cheater-> oerjan: so how did you have the idea to use the minsky machine?
00:13:43 <cheater-> was it your first approach or just a consecutive one?
00:14:55 <elliott> oerjan: have fun for the next N hours
00:15:03 <elliott> i sure won't be, fucking bios :(
00:16:56 <oerjan> ~ = exch, ! = pop, : = dup, ! = exec, = = S, those are the commands i find in http://www.math.ubc.ca/~cass/courses/ps.html that correspond to underload. i also think { = ( and } = ).
00:17:44 <oerjan> cheater-: i started with the turing machines, then when i got down to trying !:()^ i realized i didn't have enough to get that but a minsky machine worked

00:18:20 <cheater-> so do you see a minsky machine as a simpler to implement turing machine?
00:19:18 <elliott> turing machines are sooo much easier
00:19:27 <elliott> basic application of logic oerjan
00:19:48 <cheater-> we're having a private conversation here
00:20:35 <cheater-> oerjan: now what is the shortest proof that you can come up with? o_o
00:21:35 <oerjan> i think underload a = [ exch ] essentially
00:21:54 <cheater-> well he's come up with the minimal system so far
00:22:04 <cheater-> now he needs the minimal proof of that minimal system :D
00:23:21 -!- poiuy_qwert has joined.
00:23:25 <cheater-> i guess implementing a lang based on that?
00:25:02 <oerjan> the implementation is already done, it's called underload.
00:25:10 <oerjan> just don't use four of the commands.
00:25:47 <oerjan> alternatively you can use postscript, joy or FALSE.
00:26:21 <oerjan> those four commands are pretty common in functional concatenative languages
00:26:25 <elliott> hmm, what's joy's equivalent of a?
00:26:47 <oerjan> :()^ are dup [] i, though
00:27:06 <cheater-> oerjan: but what about something that takes a well-supported language and compiles it down to :()^?
00:28:22 <oerjan> . and , are going to be a bitch
00:28:39 <oerjan> not to mention that minsky machines have exponential overhead

00:33:47 <elliott> like treating quotations as lists?
00:33:52 <elliott> oerjan: if you have that it's just [] cons...
00:34:04 <oerjan> elliott: you were talking about joy
00:34:12 <elliott> oerjan: if you have that it's just [] cons...
00:34:40 <oerjan> i didn't know joy had cons
00:34:52 -!- Mathnerd314 has joined.
00:35:01 <elliott> oerjan: what kind of language has lists and no cons?
00:35:35 <Sgeo> I think maybe I like Fancy
00:40:03 <Zwaarddijk> is there any known automaton that, with finite space is known to be weaker than a turing macine with finite space, but thiss distinction magically disappears when there's infinite space?
00:42:42 <elliott> define weaker than a turing machine with finite space?
00:43:54 <elliott> Oh dear god not again http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Joy_(programming_language)_(2nd_nomination)
00:46:14 <Zwaarddijk> well, turing machines can reject/accept any recursively enumerable language
00:47:01 <Zwaarddijk> but for a finite tape we get what's called a decider, no?
00:47:06 * elliott lets oerjan handle this one ;D
00:47:24 <oerjan> it's not ambiguous, it's hideously ambiguous.
00:48:15 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: Good night).
00:48:24 <Mathnerd314> Zwaarddijk: turing machines accept recursively enumerable languages, and loop infinitely on non-examples of the language
00:50:26 <Zwaarddijk> so anyways, a machine that w/ finite tape accepts context-free grammars (or maybe something inbetween CFG and R, or between R and RE), but with infinite tape accepts RE
00:53:30 <Ilari> With finite tape, it can at most decide (some subset of) regular languages.
00:54:04 <Ilari> And even the weakest language classes above regular can require unbounded memory to recognize.
00:55:20 <Zwaarddijk> so ok, is there any machine that accepts CFG or even just a slighlty smaller set of langs than R with finite tape, but RE with infinite tape?
00:56:14 <quintopia> the question doesn't make sense :/
00:57:06 <quintopia> you're asking about a single TM...designed to recognize two different languages?
00:57:43 <Zwaarddijk> turing machines recognize different languages depending on whether they've got finite or infinite tapes
00:58:05 <quintopia> a specific TM will be designed to recognize a particular language
00:58:19 <quintopia> i mean, all you're doing is changing the tape length
00:58:35 <Zwaarddijk> this still doesn't make the question make no sense
00:58:40 <quintopia> which means you aren't changing the language it is designed to recognize...
00:59:22 <Zwaarddijk> should I rephrase the question like this:
00:59:42 <Ilari> Well, with finite memory and even weakest non-regular languages, you can't even recognize all "yes" cases.
00:59:43 <Zwaarddijk> does infinite tape make bigger difference for recognizeable languages for some weaker machine
01:00:20 <Ilari> Or, you could have algorithm that always says "yes" if it belongs to the language, but might say "yes" even if it doesn't.
01:00:45 <quintopia> Ilari: i know such a machine. Algorithm: for all input, accept.
01:01:06 <Zwaarddijk> that algorithm has a ratehr fantastic running time
01:01:31 <Ilari> Or actually, machine that could return 3 outputs: Yes, No or Maybe
01:02:17 <Ilari> For some languages, one needs insanely long output to overwhelm even very quite low amount of memor available.
01:04:18 <Ilari> Just consider a^n b^n and how much string length it takes to overwhelm a counter of given length.
01:06:14 <Ilari> Then there are languages that are recursive but may require insane amounts of memory even for very short strings.

03:19:39 <Lymia> I just had an idea.

03:20:44 -!- copumpkin has changed nick to MonadsSuck.
03:21:23 <variable> Lymia: that sounds interesting
03:22:45 <Lymia> In it, "syntax" is carried by relative pitch, or something similar, and so, a program can be made musical.
03:23:02 <zzo38> There are a few of that already in esolangs, but you can make up a new one if you want to.
03:23:23 <Lymia> If you want to down the evil path, make failure at harmony, etc an compiler error.
03:23:32 <zzo38> MonadsSuck: Did you look it up in Wikipedia?
03:24:42 <Lymia> Make useful programs semi-musical.
03:24:50 <Lymia> Make music execute, but in an excessively useless way.

04:04:01 <elliott_> <Lymia> A programming language who's encoding is an MIDI file.
04:08:44 <Lymia> Not /exactly/ what I had in mind.
04:08:59 <Lymia> Less of a programming language with an MIDI encoding, and more of one more directly related to the represented music.
04:09:01 <zzo38> Lymia: OK then make up your own ideas
04:09:04 <Lymia> ....I have no idea how to have this work...
04:13:18 <zzo38> Make one with music that isn't 12-TET....
04:16:08 <pikhq_> Ooooh, microtonal music.
04:16:32 <pikhq_> (note: I have never actually heard such music, I merely find the idea interesting in the abstract)
04:17:02 <zzo38> You have not written a program to play such a music?
04:18:45 <zzo38> I have made a variant of PPMCK to allow you to make a scale of whatever tones you want to (however it is still up octave doubles frequency, up to ten letter names, and up to sixteen notes per octave; other than that you can have whatever tones you want to)
04:19:03 <zzo38> pikhq_: Then write a music/program!
04:19:40 <Lymia> pikhq_, I'm trying to figure out how to make a program result from features that are already found in music.
04:20:07 <Lymia> Then using ordered combinations of these to create programs.
04:20:34 <zzo38> Lymia: Do you mean number of notes in one bar, or repeat marks, or major/minor/augmented/diminish chord, non-chord note, etc?
04:22:56 <Lymia> Not the former two.

18:53:20 <zzo38> fizzie: My format is also a bit like that.....
18:55:19 -!- sebbu has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds).
18:57:33 <fizzie> Probably the author of the bouncer. And now that I look at it, it's not really that close to raw after all, except it uses the full nick!user@mask triplets in most places where they are in the IRC messages themselves.

19:04:35 <fizzie> Well, that's quite more rawish.
19:08:04 <zzo38> In fact every message which is sent to everyone on the channel is also sent to the log file. (The lines with * are metadata lines and are added before)

19:35:27 <variable> zzo38: ah, which server is that? Your own?
19:35:48 <variable> zzo38: you wrote the SW as well?
19:36:28 -!- cheater- has joined.
19:36:48 <zzo38> I took the software for ngIRCd and made some modifications and called the new one CthulhuIRCd.
19:37:11 <variable> What kind of modifications? Just log stuff or other things as well?
19:37:34 <zzo38> Other things too. Such as, adding the SUMMON command.
19:37:46 <zzo38> I also plan to add ! type channels later, too. (Currently it supports #&+ but not !)
19:38:06 <zzo38> And even a few more, too.
19:38:39 <fizzie> Opless and local channels, if I recall correctly.
19:38:45 <zzo38> + is modeless and & is local
19:39:09 -!- ineiros has joined.
19:39:09 -!- dbc has joined.
19:40:20 <zzo38> ! is a channel that is safe from taking over by netsplit
19:40:33 -!- Sgeo has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
19:40:48 -!- augur has joined.
19:40:53 <variable> basically - create it with !! and join with ! + random token IIRC
19:41:07 <fizzie> You can join with just "!foo" if there's only one !xxxxxfoo in the network.
19:41:28 <fizzie> If there happens to be multiple, you have to specify which one you mean by using the "full name".
19:41:50 <fizzie> Normally there shouldn't be multiple, but it can happen during split-time.
19:42:02 <zzo38> fizzie: Yes, it works like that. That is the purpose of ! type channel.
19:42:38 <zzo38> Note that only # is vulnerable to taking over. Types & ! + are all immune to being taking over, but for different reasons.
19:43:16 <variable> + because it makes no sense and & cause its local only and thus splits don't matter :-)
19:44:06 <zzo38> + because it is modeless, so the state cannot change after or before a split. You are correct about &
19:45:02 <zzo38> O, other thing I added in the IRC server, is a few new configuration settings (to select which channel types are available, and where logs go, and a few other things), and a way to add new commands by a external script.
19:45:28 <variable> it makes to sense to take over a modeless channel
19:45:42 <zzo38> variable: O, that is what you mean. OK, then you are correct.

20:43:48 <ais523> and I'm busy tweaking constants to complete the set atm
20:43:56 <ais523> but it seems I was working against old versions of allegro
20:44:02 <elliottx> it's probably a chainlance bug instead ;)
20:44:14 <ais523> elliottx: this is using egojoust
20:44:19 <ais523> to be precise, a fixed version
20:44:21 <elliottx> oh, then it's an egojoust bug.
20:44:30 <ais523> it did have bugs, but I fixed some of them
20:44:38 <ais523> although it still has that efficiency on % issue

20:58:54 <elliottx> Although storing the first six bits of (ascii-64) is a huge advantag.e
20:59:10 <ais523> !bfjoust waterfall3 http://sprunge.us/iIZL
20:59:15 <olsner> does "ascii-64" mean 6-bit ascii here?
20:59:20 <ais523> it's not quite perfect, but still pretty good
20:59:53 <olsner> fwiw, when I said that the other day I meant ascii (subtract) 64
21:00:01 <ais523> the loss against wireless_frownie is based on precise details of timing, if I add or change the number of dots in one place it completely changes the result
21:00:08 <zzo38> elliottx: Did you try to use unreal mode?
21:00:48 <elliottx> zzo38: that's basically what I'm trying
21:00:56 <EgoBot> Score for ais523_waterfall3: 31.8
21:01:00 <elliottx> olsner: ascii-64 means take the 8-bit ascii, subtract 64, and store the lower 6 bits
21:01:09 <elliottx> if not that, then I'll use that 5-bit manual packing
21:01:35 <ais523> hmm, that result's different from egojoust's
21:01:49 <elliottx> it's either chainlance bugs or egojoust bugs
21:01:58 <Gregor> Some of the contestants now on the hill won't run on egojoust.

21:02:42 <ais523> I fear it might not be fixed enough, though
21:02:55 <ais523> in this case, I need chainlance or something like that to have any chance of competing

21:31:44 <elliottx> ais523: egojsout isn't buggy, chainlance is
21:32:15 <elliottx> ais523: the chances of egojoust and egojsout sharing a bug is very low since their architecture is basically completely different
21:32:25 <elliottx> and chainlance has been buggy before
21:33:27 <ais523> elliottx: I think I agree with you
21:33:41 <ais523> anyway, it beats the furry girls and ties with allegro, regardless of what chainlance says
21:33:59 <ais523> I advise you don't try to look at what it's doing in egojsout, just because it takes far too long
21:34:20 <ais523> it's been known to timeout on a game it'd win eventually before now, just because it's doing so much

21:35:16 -!- pumpkin has joined.
21:35:21 <ais523> better than waterfall, according to chainlance
21:35:26 <elliottx> Oh, because you have (+)*100 and the like in there

21:35:48 <ais523> because egojoust is buggy on *100000
21:38:26 -!- copumpkin has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds).
21:39:31 <ais523> yep, it interprets it as *10000
21:39:41 <ais523> that's a trivial fix, but I wasn't sure if I'd have to run it on an unfixed egojoust at some point
21:40:12 <ais523> anyway, I think it may have been Gregor who invented the triplock (I'm not sure), but I spent ages looking into how to make it work better
21:41:14 <ais523> the code reduces all numbers over 10000 to 10000
21:41:22 <pikhq> So. I picked up some Don McLean albums, simply because I felt sorry that the only song of his that anybody knows is "American Pie".
21:41:25 <elliottx> no, it's all numbers over 100000 or under 0
21:42:05 <elliottx> ais523: oh, i was going to ask you something, but forget what
21:42:06 <ais523> anyway, pre-bugfix egojoust was much faster at running (()*3)*3 than ()*9
21:42:14 <ais523> for reasons I don't fully understand
21:42:18 <elliottx> ais523: you know how you were going on about call by name being the most general of the calling conventions?
21:42:24 <Deewiant> Feel free to submit more programs that beat FFSPG but not allegro
21:42:34 <ais523> Deewiant: it draws with allegro

21:42:44 <ais523> chainlance is wrong about the result
21:42:59 <Deewiant> I, of course, refer only to the actual hill
21:43:12 <elliottx> Possibly then you already know of call-by-push-value.

21:48:33 <elliottx> ais523: in call-by-name languages, can foo(v) change the value of v? I'm not very familiar with the convention because it's so fucked-up :)
21:49:36 <ais523> elliottx: generally things you can assign to and things you can't are different types
21:49:40 <ais523> but if it's assignable, yes
21:50:02 <elliottx> ais523: right; consider a lazy call-by-name language where everything is assignable :)
21:50:11 <ais523> the best analogy for call-by-name is that it works like #define macros and can do everything they do, except it's scoped properly
21:50:15 <elliottx> (I forget what else I was thinking of to make things more confusing)
21:50:21 <ais523> so if you call f(x), you give it your x rather than its x
21:50:44 <elliottx> ais523: Preferably, if f(x) is x = x/2, then f(x+1) is x = (x+1)/2 - 1
21:50:48 <ais523> you can do things like this too: f(x,x+1) then x assigns 4 to its first argument, now its second argument is 5
21:51:00 <ais523> it's parenthesised properly too
21:51:39 <elliottx> ais523: what, "x+1 := 3" works in call-by-name languages?
21:51:45 <elliottx> what about f(x) := y for arbitrary f?
21:51:51 <ais523> no, x+1 isn't assignable
21:52:01 <ais523> or to be precise, you have to dereference x before you can add 1 to it
21:52:02 <elliottx> ais523: that's what I mean, a language where everything is assignable
21:52:10 <ais523> everything is assignable in INTERCAL
21:52:17 <elliottx> f(x+1) works where f is f(x) = { x := x/2 }
21:52:21 <ais523> although the existing impls aren't very good at it
21:52:30 <elliottx> turns into { x+1 := (x+1)/2 } === { x := (x+1)/2 - 1 }
21:52:43 <elliottx> obviously, you just have to define an inverse with every function
21:53:06 <ais523> C-INTERCAL and CLC-INTERCAL try to calculate it automatically, but often can't
21:53:15 <ais523> to make it easier, they'll change the value of constants if necessary
21:53:40 <ais523> analogy: if you do x+1 := 5, and x is 3, it might change 1 to 2 rather than x to 4
21:53:41 <elliottx> hmm, I was about to ask for a language where reverse(x) is x^-1, but iirc oerjan proved that every such language is trivial a while back :)
21:54:03 <ais523> it's a similar principle
21:54:10 <ais523> although in INTERCAL, all that changes are the literal constants
21:54:16 <ais523> and in CLC-INTERCAL, literal line numbers too
21:54:27 <ais523> it doesn't change things like intermediate results in calculations like Forte does

22:03:54 <elliottx> ais523: what about: variables are named by expressions; every parameter becomes a variable named by its expression, initialised to the same expression's value
22:03:57 <elliottx> ais523: the variable is then passed by reference
22:04:15 <ais523> in fact, I'm going to modify the quote to add zzo38's response, it works pretty well
22:04:24 <elliottx> but because "42" means the value of the variable "42" in the current scope
22:05:09 <ais523> oh, HackEgo isn't here
22:05:58 <elliottx> ais523: please tell me that's at least as insane as call-by-name...
22:06:03 <elliottx> and the variables are dynamically-scoped

22:06:47 <ais523> yep, it's an implication that I might not be the best person to ask for advice
22:07:22 <elliottx> ais523: Fine, is this convention MORE sane than call-by-name :P
22:07:37 <zzo38> In QBASIC we have the default is to pass the pointer in the subroutine unless it is BYVAL or it is not specified as a single variable name. By combining that with VARPTR, I can do a few things with pointers.
22:08:12 <ais523> zzo38: I tried that once when I was younger, but got confused
22:08:36 <ais523> after a while I realised that for pointers to SINGLE type values, it was easier to copy them into a new SINGLE type value, rather than try to figure out their value from the individual bytes
22:09:02 <zzo38> ais523: You can use TYPE and LSET to copy bytes from one type to another
22:09:39 <elliottx> 05:07:27 --- join: ais523 (n=chatzill@chillingi.eee.bham.ac.uk) joined #esoteric 05:07:45 <ais523> Sorry about that, I forgot to join #esoteric before I started sending messages to it
22:10:06 <ais523> was that my first message that ever reached the channel?
22:10:09 <zzo38> Also, what I was doing didn't even do like that, instead, I pass pointers to the subroutine and then check to see if it is pointing to a specific variable, and those things, too.
22:10:31 <zzo38> It has +n I think you cannot send to a channel you are not joined to.

22:11:35 <zzo38> What happened now to the gateway/ and unaffiliated/ ??
22:11:40 <elliott> Phantom__Hoover: nobody can see it in whois and channel lists unless they're in it, but you can send messages to it without joining
22:11:57 <ais523> zzo38: elliott's cloaked so when he identifies it hides his IP
22:12:05 <ais523> but you can't hide your IP via web access
22:12:05 <elliott> ais523: wow, that message worked
22:12:15 <ais523> so Freenode changed it, then overruled itself and changed it again
22:15:01 <ais523> I imagine most people don't even know how to send a message to a channel they aren't in
22:15:13 <ais523> but I'm completely unsurprised that zzo38 does
22:15:27 <elliott> ais523: it was actually a notice
22:15:44 <zzo38> You send the message the same way that you send a message to the channel that you are in!
22:15:46 <ais523> well, it's much the same
22:16:03 <ais523> zzo38: yes, just most clients hide the fact
22:16:45 <zzo38> Do most clients hide that too?
22:16:57 <ais523> hmm, why does clog put my hostname in a notice?
22:17:09 <ais523> zzo38: they put it behind a command /notice, rather than sending a privmsg which has no prefix
22:17:23 <ais523> Phantom__Hoover: yes, they're meant for automated responses, like bot replies
22:17:29 <elliott> ais523: "which has no prefix"?
22:17:32 <elliott> NOTICE is the IRC command to do it
22:17:36 <ais523> elliott: I mean in the client
22:17:41 <ais523> I know how it's done "by hand"
22:18:01 <zzo38> Phantom__Hoover: You can send a notice to a channel or user with NOTICE instead of PRIVMSG (some clients will do it in different way)
22:18:48 <ais523> the funny thing is, clients tend to make a big deal out of notices
22:18:57 <ais523> even though they're specced to be things you shouldn't make a big deal out of
22:19:53 <zzo38> My client doesn't treat notices any different, except that when information is requested, the request must use PRIVMSG and the response must use NOTICE
22:20:13 <ais523> hmm, triplock3 seems to be doing the best of all my programs
22:20:22 <elliott> ais523: btw, I've been working on a boot-sector Forth
22:20:31 <elliott> it turns out this is excruciatingly difficult
22:20:32 <ais523> also, now I'm curious; /did/ Gregor invent the triplock?Ii can't remember
22:20:39 <ais523> elliott: that seems doable, although a bit tight
22:21:03 <elliott> ais523: consider that the absolute minimum to get into flat protected mode is about 54 bytes for me
22:21:04 <zzo38> elliott: You can fit it in the boot sector? I do not think you could fit all of the primitives in there, so it should still require manual initialization?
22:21:28 <elliott> ais523: (I overlap the first unused segment with the rest of the program, and only use one actual segment, which I change from read-write to read-execute with a xor right before setting cs)
22:21:37 <elliott> ais523: (and I only set A20 with the short-but-not-universally-supported BIOS method)
22:22:03 <elliott> now consider keyboard handling code... bios requires unprotecting and reprotecting, manual handling involves translating scancodes
22:22:08 <elliott> zzo38: I'm going to use a stripped-down set of primitives
22:22:24 <ais523> why use the keyboard at all?
22:22:33 <elliott> ais523: it isn't a Forth without a prompt...
22:22:43 <elliott> a non-interactive Forth isn't worthy of the name
22:22:49 <elliott> (actually being able to save your work is much less vital)
22:22:55 <elliott> (OK, so not really, but as far as the Forth nature goes)
22:23:17 <elliott> ais523: I'm planning to back word names into a 32-bit dword :)
22:23:29 <elliott> I can have a 32-long alphabet, enough for letters and some punctuation, and have names of max 6 chars, while still having two bits left over
22:23:36 <elliott> (names are padded out with 0; in this case, probably "q")
22:23:41 <elliott> (scancode-order, obviously)
22:23:49 <elliott> the problem is that i still need to translate to ascii to print to the screen
22:24:06 * Phantom__Hoover wonders why the A20 gate crap hasn't just been replaced with "I'm doing this on AMD64, and if you don't have that you're an idiot and deserve the boot crashing and burning on you".
22:24:10 <ais523> OK, it makes no sense that triplock3 is doing this well
22:24:14 <elliott> (that padding has the fun effect that abc = abcq = abcqq)
22:24:22 <ais523> I should submit triplock2, which is a) marginally better, and b) not a oneliner
22:24:40 <zzo38> I just used unreal mode and used the BIOS calls for keyboard, it will return the ASCII codes so that you can write to the screen
22:24:45 <elliott> Phantom__Hoover: x86's backwards-compatibility is one of its main selling points
22:24:58 <elliott> zzo38: Unreal mode still has the overhead of going into protected mode, though

22:25:22 <elliott> I would be very surprised if you could
22:25:26 <zzo38> Yes, but you can switch out of protected mode afterward
22:25:26 <EgoBot> Score for ais523_triplock2: 42.5
22:25:29 <ais523> why are you going out of real mode?
22:25:39 -!- Patashu has joined.
22:25:53 <zzo38> If you are writing a system that small you should not ever need to go out of real mode, though.
22:26:00 <elliott> ais523: because dealing with segment addresses in Forth code is just perverse
22:26:01 <Phantom__Hoover> If you're talking to zzo38, it's because he's a nutcase and reason just doesn't factor.
22:26:16 <elliott> @ and ! being indices into a gigantic flat memory space is a vital part of the Forth philosophy
22:27:16 <zzo38> You can make a system that the data area is only 64K and the native code area is another 64K?
22:28:10 <zzo38> If you want to make it on GameBoy too, the one on GameBoy you cannot even address more than 64K memory.
22:28:42 <ais523> Phantom__Hoover: I don't think he's any less sane than anyone else in this channel

22:51:03 <Phantom__Hoover> I already knew that you all think that Scotland consists entirely of the Highlands, but being the same as Ireland...
22:51:25 <pikhq_> "Eh, the accents are both rhotic. Close enough, right?"
22:52:14 <pikhq_> Yeah, but it's a UK rhotic accent!
22:52:59 <pikhq_> Look: we can't even honestly portray regions of our own country consistently. Much less other countries. :P
22:54:22 <pikhq_> If it's between the east and west coasts, expect high levels of bullshit.
22:54:58 <Phantom__Hoover> [[(Note that what is marketed as a Mars bar in the UK more closely resembles the American Milky Way bar than the American Mars bar.)]]
22:55:23 <pikhq_> I haven't even freaking seen a Mars bar here.
22:55:28 <ais523> you get Milky Ways in the UK too
22:55:39 <ais523> and they're vaguely similar to Mars bars, but there are obvious differences

23:10:10 <elliott> [23:32] <ais523> you get Milky Ways in the UK too
23:10:13 <elliott> yep but they're not the same as in the us
23:12:45 <ais523> how beautifully muddled
23:13:03 <ais523> one thing that surprised me is that McDonald's chips/fries are not the same in the UK and Canad
23:13:21 <ais523> (the ones in Canada are much better IMO, and are more similar to Burger King chips in the UK than McDonalds chips)
23:13:28 <ais523> pikhq_: the UK ones are relatively tasteless
23:13:59 <pikhq_> Given that McDonald's has a freaking obsession with consistency.
23:14:02 <ais523> presumably because they think Brits just don't care
23:14:15 <elliott> ais523: clearly a sufficient portion of brits don't :)
23:14:17 <ais523> well, they make a big deal in the UK about selling British food
23:14:20 <Sgeo> I'm going to bring everything back online as it gets cleaned
23:14:34 <ais523> e.g. the Big Macs are made from British beef
23:14:53 <pikhq_> ais523: Yes, it's company policy to locally source ingredients, actually.
23:15:21 <pikhq_> But aside from that, they try and make it so that for each product that you can get internationally, it is the freaking *same* everywhere.
23:15:30 <elliott> ais523: *British beef-based product
23:15:42 <elliott> "100% beef" doesn't mean, you know, 100% actual beef meat.
23:15:50 <elliott> It just means 100% made out of stuff that came from cows.
23:16:02 <elliott> (And yes, McDonalds and other fast food chains do rely on this difference.)
23:18:12 -!- hallvabo has left (?).
23:18:53 <pikhq_> elliott: More importantly, they rely on factory farming to make their meat nearly devoid of cost.

23:24:19 <elliott> so it's part of mcdonalds chips by any reasonable definition
23:24:53 <ais523> in the UK, McDonalds add the salt themselves before serving
23:25:00 <ais523> although extra salt is available
23:25:09 <ais523> and Burger King serve the chips without salt and don't provide salt
23:25:11 -!- copumpkin has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds).
23:25:13 <ais523> but rather, potassium chloride
23:25:36 <ais523> I think I hit upon the trick of taking the extra salt from McDonalds to Burger King once
23:25:41 <ais523> but I rarely have fast food anyway
23:25:56 <Mathnerd314> ais523: potassium chloride is a salt... can you really taste a difference?
23:26:05 <ais523> and nowadays, don't add salt to things (although I eat things that contain salt naturally, or had it added by the manufacturer)
23:26:08 <ais523> Mathnerd314: it's quite an obvious difference
23:26:43 * Mathnerd314 will some HCl and mix it with some potassium to try
23:27:04 <ais523> possibly a bad idea, they might not cancel out exactly

23:41:51 <ais523> pikhq_: that sounds kind-of bad
23:42:22 <elliott> ais523: it's fine, just ask Sgeo; if you lose a disk, *don't* take it out of the computer, *don't* try and recover it, instead, just try and boot it a lot so that it gets even worse!
23:42:42 <elliott> days later, act amazed that recovering data from the disk might be impossible, and then give up when you learn it'll take about a day to run ddrescue
23:42:54 <elliott> this is a tried-and-tested method of data nonrecovery
23:43:13 <Sgeo> I never gave up!
23:43:28 <elliott> Sgeo: orly? so you have your data now?
23:43:30 <Sgeo> The project is just on... hiatus from lack of suitable computer.
23:43:38 <elliott> the data is permanently gone.
23:43:45 <ais523> elliott: I had a hard drive break due to the power supply breaking and taking out some things connected to it with it
23:43:46 <elliott> you had a few days, you blew it. you gave up by not proactively rescuing it in that time.
23:43:55 <ais523> the data's still on it, but the hard drive can't physically be turned on
23:44:12 <ais523> I just restored from backups rather than trying to repair it
23:44:13 <Sgeo> elliott, it degrades when it's not doing anything?
23:44:13 <elliott> ais523: in Sgeo's case, it was dropping it. I'm not sure how one drops a hard disk so hard as to badly damage it without covering your fingers with butter, or not living on the same dimensional plane.
23:44:17 <Sgeo> It's inside no computer.
23:44:29 <elliott> I wish I had my normal client with all my fancy ignores.
23:44:36 <ais523> it also broke the CD drive, although obviously that didn't damage the CD in it
23:44:56 <elliott> ais523: I'd like to see an optical drive that, if damaged while a disc is inside, damages the disc
23:45:02 <elliott> say, one that constantly spins the CD incredibly fast?
23:47:33 <elliott> hmm, what's a good name for the function f : Generator a -> Generator (Int, a)?
23:47:43 <elliott> i.e. f [a,b,c] == [(0,a), (1,b), (1,c)]
23:47:45 <elliott> Python calls it "enumerate"
