04:39:25 * Sgeo gets ticked off at the Nexuiz controversy
04:40:57 <Patashu> It's a GPL licensed game that's being ported to a console where you have to pay for it?
04:41:39 -!- augur has joined.
04:42:13 <Sgeo> All I know is that it's making me not sure how suitable Nexuiz is as a game that another channel I'm in can play with and against each other
04:42:38 <pikhq> Unless there was a copyright assignment or a unanimous agreement among the copyright holders, that game is literally going to be illegal to ship.
04:44:23 <Sgeo> I don't care about the controversy itself, I'm more upset that it forced a fork, and that that fork isn't suitable to play.
04:44:39 <Sgeo> Hopefully Nexuiz Classic still works decently

15:43:14 <cheater__> ais523_: let's take haskell and assume eager eval. can it still have monads? if yes, what are the limitations?
15:45:11 <ais523_> yes, and none, the concept of monads has nothing to do with laziness
15:54:13 <copumpkin> monads come from a field that has never heard of laziness
15:56:23 <elliott> that was the worst question i've ever heard
15:58:29 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: food ->).
16:01:23 <cheater__> elliott: i have finally found that special place in your heart that will keep the memory alive
16:01:36 <ais523> I suppose they have something vaguely to do with each other in that for some (not all) of the problems monads solve, there are other solutions in strict langs that don't work in lazy langs, so they're less necessary in strict langs, although still very useful
16:02:01 <cheater__> what solutions are you thinking of though?

16:07:33 -!- Tritonio has quit (Client Quit).
16:08:56 <elliott> ais523: the difference between monads in strict and lazy languages is that they can provide a convenient ordering mechanism in lazy ones, IMO
16:09:00 <elliott> which is why State, IO, etc. all work
16:09:08 <ais523> elliott: yes, that's what I was talking about
16:09:16 <elliott> whereas in strict languages, you have a defined ordering mechanism already
16:09:19 <ais523> and in strict languages, things are ordered anyway, unless you use insane amounts of multithreading
16:09:24 <elliott> I suppose you could have utterly undefined, but strict, evaluation order
16:09:26 <elliott> and no sequencing operator
16:09:29 <elliott> but that would be pathological
16:09:56 <elliott> ais523: it really annoys me when people say that monads make IO pure
16:10:09 <ais523> elliott: because it's technically correct but useless?
16:10:15 <elliott> the IO monad is still impure, it's only a monad because it needs ordering
16:10:29 <ais523> well, it's pure if you think of it as an infinite lookup table generator
16:10:29 <elliott> (it doesn't violate the language's referential transparency, but that's not the same as being pure)

16:32:21 <cheater__> elliott: what if you wash it with soap
16:45:51 <pikhq> elliott: Yeah, people definitely have confusion about what "purity" means.
16:46:30 <pikhq> And so they think that a way of modelling impure actions is somehow pure.
16:47:57 <ais523> pikhq: if all you're doing is modelling them, not actually doing them, ofc it can be pure
16:48:12 <ais523> I can sort-of envisage an IOSimulator :: IO x -> x
16:48:27 <ais523> which doesn't work like unsafePerformIO, but rather just simulates all the IO internally and then ignores it
16:49:40 <elliott> for a start, it would be simulateIO.
16:49:47 <elliott> yours is an invalid constructor signature.
16:50:00 <elliott> for a ... middle, the whole point of the IO monad is that you execute the actions modelled
16:58:48 <pikhq> ais523: You model it so that the language can go behind your back and rape purity.
16:59:22 <ais523> elliott: bleh, I forgot case-sensitivity

17:02:34 -!- monqy has joined.
17:03:10 <cheater__> pikhq: well the modelling is a question similar to: if you write a php to haskell converter, is it a pure, functional language?
17:07:16 <elliott> no, that is not similar at all
17:07:29 <Sgeo_> elliott, the only reason I was there in the first place was because I saw a Hedgewars game labelled #vim

17:16:47 <Phantom_Hoover> Sgeo_ always evaluates a game based on its rope physics.
17:17:37 <Sgeo_> elliott, how do the rope physics suck? I'm bad at judging these things, but I've seen people rope with far more ease than in W:A
17:17:50 <elliott> Sgeo_: They are inferior to W:A's.
17:18:03 <elliott> The ease doesn't matter, the fact is that they're totally weird and unnatural and you can't do nearly as much with them as you can with W:A.

17:21:50 <oklofok> there was that one seriously fucked up thing done by a bot
17:22:10 <Sgeo_> Does Worms Reloaded have replays?
17:22:35 <Sgeo_> If not, it sucks on that basis alone.
17:22:37 <oklofok> of course, bots are somewhat better than people at these things
17:23:40 <Sgeo_> What's wormuz's roping like?

17:25:15 <elliott> oh god W:A will work out of the box in Wine now
17:25:46 <Sgeo_> elliott, uh, out of the box? Don't you need to install the update to do practically anything with W:A even on Windows?
17:26:13 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: Yes, like I said, the update that makes it work without a patched DLL with Wine is out.
17:26:23 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: (It's still updated, even after thirteen years.)
17:26:38 <elliott> And yes, you can; one of the torrents is even mine, although I think it's dead.
17:26:53 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: But you should throw money at Team17 as soon as possible.
17:27:06 <elliott> Sgeo_: You previously needed a patched DLL to use it with Wine.
17:27:11 <elliott> They fixed that as of late last year.
17:27:15 <Sgeo_> Ah, I was unaware of that.
17:27:17 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: No, you can use cold hard cash.
17:27:25 <elliott> Sgeo_: And also "Some of our Wine users have noticed a problem in recent Wine versions – namely, chatting in the front-end parts of the game (that includes WormNET and host/join lobby) was not possible (W:A seemed to ignore Enter presses)."
17:27:30 <elliott> So yeah, Wine is now a maintained platform for W:A.
17:27:42 <elliott> They even contributed a patch to Wine to fix that.
17:27:49 <Phantom_Hoover> I am basically incapable of conceiving of a way of moving money around without a cruise missile.
17:28:07 <elliott> That Team17 employ these two guys to maintain their decade-old game is fucking awesome.
17:28:16 * Sgeo_ sends Phantom_Hoover money in a concrete donkey
17:28:41 <elliott> Sgeo_: your references suck.
17:29:15 <monqy> was it supposed to be a trojan horse reference because if so it's really lame
17:29:18 <monqy> and if not it's nonsense
17:29:36 <elliott> it's a (bad) W:A reference.
17:29:37 <Sgeo_> It was a W:A reference
17:29:50 <monqy> was that in turn a trojan horse reference
17:29:57 <monqy> either way it sucks and you suck

17:32:50 <elliott> There is no chance to survive make your time.
17:33:06 <Sgeo_> I want to watch this match
17:33:15 <Phantom_Hoover> Based on my experiences with Hedgewars you will almost certainly win.
17:33:25 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: Dude, I haven't played for years.

17:33:38 <Phantom_Hoover> The only times I've ever actually won are when my opponent have half their hedgehogs right next to the sea.
17:33:51 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: Oh, you only play normals?

17:35:54 <Sgeo_> Is there anything difficult about Winestalling it other than remembering to patch it afterwards?
17:36:09 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: You might as well let it download the saved levels and schemes, but untick both of the patches.
17:36:24 <elliott> Sgeo_: IIRC this one has a weird installer.
17:36:39 <elliott> Can someone say one nine two dot one six eight dot one dot one?
17:37:17 <elliott> Oh shit, I won't be able to set the timer for bombs.

17:55:54 <elliott> can you believe people actually still played it online as of like five years ago???
17:56:29 <Sgeo_> Never really tried it. Althogh now I'm wondering if it's W2 that I have or original. Which came in that pack?

18:03:13 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: Who cares how cluttered the folder is?
18:03:44 <Phantom_Hoover> Oh god do I have to resolve the dependencies automatically.
18:04:04 <olsner_> elliott: uninstall pulseaudio
18:04:09 <elliott> Just sudo dpkg -i them in any order.
18:04:13 <elliott> olsner: that would break my volume control.
18:04:24 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: Then sudo apt-get install -f to see if things are still broken.
18:04:40 <olsner_> elliott: use alsamixer? works for me...
18:04:41 <Phantom_Hoover> elliott, dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of wine-unstable:
18:04:54 <elliott> olsner: Yeah, I love having to:
18:05:09 <elliott> every time I want to change the volume.
18:05:17 <elliott> It's so much more convenient than hitting the volume up/down/mute keys on my keyboard.
18:05:23 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: Irrelevant.
18:05:34 <elliott> Then if "sudo apt-get install -f" works, you're done.
18:05:40 <olsner_> I do that about once per installation, then keep it on the right volume
18:05:55 <elliott> olsner: yes, because there is exactly one constant right volume.
18:06:05 <Sgeo_> Wait, you go periods of time without adjusting the volume?
18:06:13 <elliott> Depending on the time of the day, how loud whatever sounds are coming out are mixed, etc. etc. etc., there is absolutely no way I would want to change the volume accordingly.
18:06:33 <Phantom_Hoover> elliott, wait, I don't have Pulseaudio and I can change the volume normally.
18:06:48 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: Yes; you have GNOME packaged by sane people (Debian developers).
18:06:53 <elliott> I have GNOME packaged by Canonical.
18:07:22 <Phantom_Hoover> Canonical, the people who gave APT Guy access to their repositories.
18:07:38 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: Anyway, once you have Wine installed, "winecfg", go to Audio tab, let it select a driver, make sure Test Sound works, then just OK it.
18:08:17 <Phantom_Hoover> Sgeo_, a guy at my school who does some vaguely-specified thing for Canonical.
18:08:22 <olsner_> Sgeo_: yes, on my home computer I haven't started alsamixer for years
18:08:42 <olsner_> on my work computer, pulseaudio muted everything so I had to go back in and restore working settings
18:08:46 <elliott> http://worms.thecybershadow.net/wormkit/ Oh hey this is new.
18:09:08 <Sgeo_> elliott, uh, no it's not?
18:09:09 <elliott> Maybe it'll work with W:A, maybe it won't, who cares.
18:09:21 <elliott> Sgeo_: Dude, I haven't played W:A for years.
18:09:29 <elliott> I got the game in... two thousand and two?
18:09:35 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: Oh well. :p
18:10:25 <elliott> I wonder how common BattyRopes is nowadays.
18:10:41 <Sgeo_> RubberWorm is fairly popular I think
18:10:51 <Sgeo_> Or at least, there's a section of Worst Shot Ever for it
18:11:05 <elliott> BattyRopes, not RubberWorm.
18:11:41 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: OK, it's gettingcloser.
18:12:56 * Phantom_Hoover begins seeding that Red Dwarf torrent again because his ratio is still 0.83.

18:19:28 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: /The/ Big Kernel Lock.
18:20:10 <pikhq> Phantom_Hoover: It was a lock of the *entire* kernel. It was added for the very first SMP systems.
18:20:20 <elliott> pikhq: Seems like it's actually in the latest stable, too.
18:20:29 <elliott> Linux 2.6.39 just came out, but it was probably in an earlier one, too.
18:20:32 <pikhq> elliott: Yeah, it's in 2.6.39, which just came out.
18:20:38 <pikhq> It missed the 2.6.38 merge window.
18:20:47 <elliott> Not that it was actually relevant as of late, though.
18:20:58 <elliott> As evidenced by the fact that that commit just removes it and nothing breaks.
18:21:19 <Sgeo_> http://lwn.net/Articles/86859/
18:21:23 <pikhq> Yeah, they spent a few years removing usage of it out of subsystems.
18:21:34 <pikhq> Starting with the ones that were *major* performance issues.
18:21:36 <Phantom_Hoover> Thank you, elliott, the addition of the definite article really assisted my understanding.
18:21:43 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: You're welcome.
18:21:52 <ais523> hmm, apparently there was a followup to the language-designers-with-beards article
18:22:09 <Sgeo_> I'm more useful than elliott!
18:22:45 <ais523> and its predictions are still working (although possibly its data is biased)
18:23:02 <ais523> it seems at least one of the people behind Python actually grew a beard in response to the article
18:23:57 <ais523> ah, typo in the post itself, it was Matz who is of course Ruby not Python
18:34:01 <elliott> "The core kernel retains a few calls. The implementation of the reboot() system call is one of them; this is, of course, not one of the more performance-sensitive parts of the kernel."
18:44:33 <Sgeo_> elliott, how's the download going
18:44:38 * Sgeo_ wants to watch you vs PH

19:43:25 * oerjan now wonders if anyone has distributed a virus in a program in source format
19:45:09 * oerjan extends that to the idea of such a virus that only infects source distributions
19:46:18 <oerjan> basically the complete reverse of trusting trust...
19:46:51 <ais523> oerjan: I saw a post on Reddit where a trusting trust thing had happened by accident
19:46:52 <Sgeo_> The Python virus might qualify?
19:47:01 <ais523> apparently a team of programmers were working on a self-hosting compiler
19:47:13 <ais523> and it used to screw up signed vs. unsigned, and they fixed the bug
19:47:22 <ais523> but the bug was such that it miscompiled the compiler in a way that produced that bug
19:47:30 <ais523> Sgeo_: it'd be tricky to find, it was several days ago now
19:48:28 * Sgeo_ officially hates Phantom_Hoover
19:48:43 <Sgeo_> I wanted to sleep sometime in the next 72 hours, dangit1
19:49:31 <ais523> Sgeo_: just sleep, then
19:49:58 <Sgeo_> ais523, impossible!
19:50:11 <Sgeo_> Not while I'm in archive binge mode
19:50:22 <Sgeo_> I don't sleep when I'm archive binging
19:52:16 <Sgeo_> Phantom_Hoover is going to murder me with sleep deprivation

20:05:14 <Phantom_Hoover> fizzie, isn't that getting on for the temperature of quark-gluon plasma?
20:05:30 <fizzie> Assuming the number is accurate, they've made one [interjection] of a temperature sensor.

20:15:07 <ais523> oerjan: what's the string argument for?
20:15:26 <oerjan> ais523: it's for appending to the end
20:15:51 <elliott> that's ShowS String, I think
20:16:03 <elliott> * oerjan thinks lambdabot has a very conservative line length
20:16:06 <oerjan> it's part of the haskell ShowS type used with the Show class, it's more efficient than concatenating strings
20:16:08 <elliott> it's probably trying to avoid annoyingly long lines
20:16:13 <elliott> it's in a high-traffic channel, after all
20:17:02 <oerjan> showsPrec and showList use it, although show can be defined instead
20:17:59 <oerjan> ais523: basically it makes showing nested stuff linear rather than quadratic in time
20:18:13 <oerjan> or something like that
20:18:47 <lifthrasiir> function composition is associative, so string concatenation can be also made associative when the list implementation is not
20:19:18 <oerjan> list concatenation is also associative, mind you
20:19:44 <oerjan> this is partly about not needing to construct intermediate strings
20:20:04 <elliott> it's just because it avoids ++
20:20:09 <elliott> because the function already "has a pointer" to its terminating []
20:20:14 <elliott> and can just replace it with the string provided
20:20:42 <lifthrasiir> oerjan: ah, i forgot to add "in linear time or whatsoever".
20:20:45 <oerjan> somewhat similar to prolog difference lists iirc
20:21:51 <ais523> oerjan: hmm, that makes sense
20:22:08 <ais523> difference lists are an incredible thing that Prolog would come up with, they're both really prologgy and not at the same time
20:22:13 <oerjan> i'm pretty sure prolog is rather older than haskell
20:23:02 <oerjan> i'm sure some haskell historians can find out when the Show class got that way
20:23:29 <oerjan> although it is also similar to that list fusion stuff which permeates ghc these days

20:24:36 <elliott> oerjan: I think polymorphism would break that in this case
20:25:18 <oerjan> or that good producer/consumer thing, i think there are different fusion ideas but i'm not sure of the differences
20:26:36 <elliott> it can't fuse a function it doesn't know about...

20:33:51 <fizzie> ais523: If I back-of-the-virtual-envelope calculated correctly, a 1cm x 1cm patch of a blackbody radiator at 140620634384 °C would emit about 18 gigawatts of energy in the [9, 14] µm wavelength range used by infrared thermography devices; it's still quite a sensor to be able to deal with that.
