08:00:04 <Frooxius> is there a bounce loop in programming?
08:01:30 <Frooxius> I mean in any language, including esoteric
08:04:19 <elliott> Depends what you mean by that.
08:04:58 <fizzie> If you mean a forwards-backwards-etcetera sort of loop, many languages with an instruction pointer with a modifiable direction might qualify. E.g. Befunge >.....<.
08:05:46 <fizzie> If you mean "computes by using bounced email messages somehow", that's a bit less probable maybe.
08:06:08 <fizzie> If you mean something related to pogo sticks, then that's just weird.
08:08:25 <Frooxius> Though. Well it basically goes in one direction, once it reaches the end, it starts going back in the opposite direction and once it reaches some condition, it can "bounce" from it and basically repeat
08:08:37 <Frooxius> But I mean it as natural construct, no emulation
08:09:11 <fizzie> It's quite a natural construct in Unefunge.
08:09:28 <fizzie> Far more natural than something that'd just loop unidirectionally.
08:09:41 <itidus21> Frooxius: the instruction pointer proceeds in only one direction as far as i am aware
08:09:45 <itidus21> so it has to be emulated surely
08:10:06 <Frooxius> itidus21: well the point is, that in some languages it doesn't proceed in one direction
08:10:34 <itidus21> i mean, the instruction fetch cycle on most cpus is probably unidirectional
08:10:46 <fizzie> It's just Befunge on one line. :p
08:11:09 <fizzie> > anycodehere _ in Unefunge is a "bounce loop" like that, with the right end a "pop from stack; if zero, continue on; if nonzero, start going backwards", while the left end is an unconditional "flip back".
08:11:10 <lambdabot> <no location info>: parse error on input `in'
08:11:20 <fizzie> lambdabot: Can't you tell Befunge from Haskell?
08:11:33 <Frooxius> itidus21: we're on esoteric languages forums. There's no such thing as "most CPUs" :P *giggles*
08:12:00 <fizzie> You'd need something complicated like >#; anycodehere #;_ to make a non-bouncy loop.
08:12:29 <shachaf> fizzie: I think valid Haskell wouldn't have given you an error message.
08:12:46 <shachaf> So that would indicate that lambdabot can tell Befunge from Haskell.
08:12:51 <fizzie> Okay, yes, if you want to be all *technical* about it.
08:12:54 <Sgeo> Haskell/Befunge polyglot?
08:13:30 <shachaf> Sgeo: In the case that your program is both valid Befunge and valid Haskell, lambdabot will default to treating it as Haskell.
08:15:06 <fizzie> > "I default to Haskell" -- 025*"egnufeB ot tluafed I">:#,_@
08:15:11 <fizzie> You seem to be correct.
08:16:08 <fizzie> Oh no, I need to be photographed. ->
08:17:10 <fizzie> (The folks responsible for our keycards were all "you should've been given one with a photo years ago instead of keeping this ancient 'visitor' card" when I went to complain it stopped working over the year-change.)
08:21:54 <elliott> sameKey :: Key a -> Key b -> Maybe (Equal a b)
08:21:54 <elliott> | k == k' = Just $ unsafeCoerce Refl
08:26:43 <Sgeo> I shouldn't eat and watch QI at the same time
08:27:10 <Sgeo> What is a Refl?
08:27:30 <Sgeo> Something that can be coerced into an Equal a b I guess
08:28:00 <shachaf> Because that's what being in an IRC channel with you is like.
08:28:37 <elliott> Sgeo: data Equal a b where Refl :: Equal a a
08:28:46 <shachaf> I mean, unsafeCoerce Refl?
08:29:56 <elliott> shachaf: Does it reassure you if I told you the Key constructor isn't exported?
08:30:36 <elliott> And that given the other part of the API,
08:30:39 <shachaf> I wonder whether asking for more context will change my attitude toward life for the positive or the negative.
08:30:49 <elliott> and no constructors, you can implement:
08:30:56 <elliott> lock :: Key a -> a -> Locker
08:31:01 <elliott> unlock :: Key a -> Locker -> Maybe a
08:32:26 <elliott> shachaf: The actual context is Vault.
08:32:51 <elliott> Specifically, Locker is being added to the API, and I realised you could implement the entire API (inefficiently) with just newKey and sameKey.
08:35:58 <elliott> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8736774/mapping-with-pairs, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8739451/getting-minimum-values-of-mappings
08:36:05 <elliott> I think a new Haskell class must have just started somewhere.
08:38:16 <elliott> shachaf: sameKey is quite morally sound, anyway.
08:38:30 <elliott> It's just saying that if you have two identical objects, then they must have the same type.
08:38:45 <elliott> Except it's weaker than that, it's just if you have two identical Keys, then they must have the same type argument :)
08:39:16 <shachaf> elliott: You often have convincing rationalizations that things that you do are morally sound.
08:39:17 <elliott> Which is trivially true because each Key is created in IO (and so is monomorphic like IORefs) and each one gets a unique identity.
08:39:31 <shachaf> It's just that you *need* those rationalisations so often...
08:39:46 <elliott> At least nobody can complain about the exposed Vault interface itself.
08:39:51 <elliott> Also it isn't my library in the first place.
08:40:02 <elliott> Even if I did convince him to use unsafeCoerce instead of IORefs and unsafePerformIO.
08:41:06 <shachaf> unsafePerform :: (T :: Set -> Set) -> T a -> a
08:41:50 <elliott> Especially good with, e.g. T = Not.
08:42:01 <elliott> Not would be a good monad.
08:43:06 <zzo38> "The problem is twofold: first, there is no known general-purpose computer that can execute all the programs we can think of except the naughty ones ... There are no hearing aids, only computers we put in our ears ... There are no radios, only computers with fast ADCs and DACs and phased-array antennas ... "
08:43:10 <zzo38> "Freedom in the future will require us to have the capacity to monitor our devices and set meaningful policy on them, to examine and terminate the processes that run on them, to maintain them as honest servants to our will, and not as traitors and spies working for criminals, thugs, and control freaks," Doctorow warns ...
08:43:25 <elliott> shachaf: By the way, do *you* have a simple explanation for http://stackoverflow.com/a/8738053/1097181? I distinctly recall hearing one once.
08:44:25 <shachaf> Ooh, is that the fmap^6 = fmap^10 thing?
08:44:57 <elliott> shachaf: It's fmap^4(k+1) = fmap^4.
08:45:09 <elliott> Where ^ is repeated application, not composition.
08:45:30 <zzo38> Well, it is why my ideas inventing Hypernet protocol (a 100% decentralized networking protocol with packet security on everything, runnable over many modes of communication, including computer disks transfer, printout on paper, writing by hand, telephone, amateur radio, books, etc), and the new computer idea I have, and to eventually build and sell, including complete printed documentation, hardware diagram, etc
08:45:52 <shachaf> I don't have a simple explanation for it
08:45:59 <shachaf> But I've wondered about it several times before.
08:46:06 <shachaf> If you find a simple explanation for it, please tell me.
08:46:15 <elliott> I think it might have been oerjan who explanated it.
08:46:28 <shachaf> Also, you know how you can usually stick a bunch of fmaps in front of things to get rid of parentheses?
08:46:45 <elliott> For some sufficiently vague definition of that, sure.
08:47:13 <shachaf> It doesn't always work, I think, no matter where you spread the fmaps around.
08:47:20 <shachaf> Is there a combinator you can do that with in general?
08:47:36 <zzo38> It should get closer to "general-purpose computer that can execute all the programs we can think of except the naughty ones" than most things due to my idea design hardware and BIOS (both completely free specification and open source); and trademarks to protect some things too, and even built-in programming feature (in Forth and in BASIC, again with complete printed documentation). But only in time can you know for sure...
08:47:50 <elliott> shachaf: It's just asking whether there's a single-combinator base-thing in Hindley-Milner with typeclasses, no?
08:48:06 <elliott> Except with the ability to interleave other expressions too. But it's basically just a combinator question.
08:48:21 <elliott> There's that Okasaki thing with the two combinators that don't need parens.
08:48:30 <elliott> I think that's in untyped LC though.
08:48:37 <shachaf> I knew you would mention Iota or something.
08:48:49 <shachaf> That answer doesn't satisfy me for whatever reason. Though I guess it should.
08:49:49 <elliott> shachaf: My prediction is yes, there is such a basis, because you could use the types to get yourself the equivalent of two combinators.
08:50:00 <elliott> Pick your types wisely and you should be able to express everything.
08:50:06 <elliott> The types as in typeclass instances.
08:50:23 <shachaf> The worst feature of Haskell.
08:51:27 <zzo38> Now, I should try to make even the hard drive to be made completely of free software, if possible, and even the CPU design to be completely of free software
08:54:52 <zzo38> "Things (ALL things) should be sold with their schematics. Does not have to be in paper form in the manual, but at least a downloadable PDF would be helpful. I would also certainly not complain if compilable source-codes for the firmware were available too" ... Yes, it is what I shall plan to do, all these thing, except PDF because I don't like PDF very much.
08:55:45 <elliott> shachaf: Also the only feature.
08:56:17 <zzo38> "Just imagine all the sorts of possible hacks - without the slightest bit inconveniencing the "regular users" whom nobody forces to download and read the specs. And imagine the ability to figure out that the given device is a piece o' crap by looking at its schematics before it is bought."
08:56:28 <zzo38> Yes this is very good.
09:06:47 <zzo38> And if you fail to understand Forth programming or any other programming, you can still simply insert the disc and push START button. See, it is as easy to use as any other devices, possibly even more easy and simply, and even simpler by design that hackers can use, too; not only for ordinary people.

09:11:57 <elliott> shachaf: Behold the quality of SO's suggested edit queue: http://ompldr.org/vYzJpZA
09:12:16 <zzo38> Therefore it must be done somehow to convince other people that the other device and computer and program and stuff is bad due to their actual reasons such as DRM and spying and so on, and to tell that these new one my idea, are the better one; such as freedom, local function, secure, reliability (such as not broken due to internet broken), privacy, provability, etc
09:12:18 * elliott would approve it, but ran out of votes for today.
09:13:07 <shachaf> elliott: Is that one of those "has anything ever do look more like" sentences?
09:13:36 <shachaf> I'm not managing to read the whole thing.
09:13:37 <zzo38> And cash is acceptable as payment
09:14:15 <shachaf> elliott: Also, you're SO-famous enough to be able to approve things?
09:14:29 <elliott> shachaf: Suggested edits, yes. That comes at 5,000 rep.
09:14:37 <elliott> Actual moderation tool things come at 10k, which I should hit in less than a month.
09:15:02 <elliott> Also, I'm not sure, but "dfgsgdfgdfgersdfdfgg" is definitely a worthy addition to the question.
09:15:15 <elliott> shachaf: Also two people have to approve anything, so it's not like I'm omnipotent.
09:15:29 <elliott> Also I can just unilaterally edit posts anyway, so it basically gives me no power at all.
09:15:34 <shachaf> Ereyesterday I had 1 karma; yesterday I had 2; today I have 4.
09:15:53 <shachaf> I should hit 1048576 in 10 days, clearly.
09:16:13 <elliott> That would be quite impressive.
09:16:22 <elliott> Although it's only about 3 times the top user's rep.
09:16:32 <shachaf> Also, by 10 I mean 20. By which I mean 17.
09:16:36 <elliott> Assuming I can count, which is a dangerous assumption.
09:16:57 <shachaf> elliott: I'm uncomfortable with the idea of a world where you have any power at all.
09:17:26 <elliott> It is a world we are all burdened with.
09:17:31 <shachaf> Maybe StackOverflow is just a secret plot to keep people like elliott away from politics.
09:17:58 <elliott> Why the fuck is Klaymen's Theme in my head. I can't deal with this, I'm sleep-deprived.
09:18:03 <elliott> shachaf: I don't think I needed SO to accomplish that.
09:18:14 <elliott> Ooh, meaningless internet points!
09:18:17 <elliott> Did you know I like those a lot?
09:18:45 <shachaf> Do you have Neverhood-nostalgia too?
09:19:27 <elliott> For a sufficiently lax definition of "nostalgia". I'm not sure when I played it, but it definitely wasn't when it came out.
09:19:33 <elliott> It was many years ago, though.
09:19:40 <shachaf> Didn't it come out in 1996?
09:19:44 <shachaf> I didn't play it then either.
09:19:52 <shachaf> I was youngish at the time, though.
09:19:57 <shachaf> Certainly a single-digit age.
09:20:11 <shachaf> elliott: Did you know you could solve the mouse puzzle just by following the mouse's nose?
09:20:52 <elliott> shachaf: I do now! Things I also just learned: I've forgotten about 90% of the parts of the Neverhood that aren't the music.
09:21:09 <shachaf> It's OK, the music is the best part anyway.
09:21:14 <shachaf> Other than the parts that aren't the music.
09:21:21 <zzo38> Put commercials on television to question copyrights. Put commercials in television to ban DRM. Put shows on television that are only available on analog service, and only without encryption, and including complete commercial skip and without overlays added.

09:23:08 <elliott> Hey, the Neverhood article links to the Grim Fandango article. That is also a game!
09:23:46 <shachaf> Wow, that link is completely rubbish.
09:24:00 <elliott> You should though, it's a really good game.
09:24:22 <elliott> Yes, it's the same engine.
09:24:26 <elliott> Except the game isn't terrible.
09:25:05 <zzo38> Now it is time to fight with heavy computers that can still be throw out of a window!!!
09:25:06 <shachaf> It's not like MI1... Or MI2... Or MI3...
09:25:21 <elliott> shachaf: Well, it's probably not all that bad a game, but the association with the franchise makes it more disappointing.
09:25:35 <elliott> Which is true of quite a few things.
09:25:35 <fizzie> (From our departmental issue tracker:) "Title: B243 closet noises" "I think B243 holds some networking equipment. Anyway, FYI its emitting some strange whining noises." -- this was 3 weeks ago. It sounds like the start of a bad horror movie.
09:25:44 <fizzie> In the networking equipment closet, no-one can hear you scream.
09:25:54 <elliott> (Pong isn't actually a good game.)
09:25:54 <shachaf> Psychonauts is good in a way roughly similar to how the Neverhood is good.
09:26:00 <elliott> I haven't played Psychonauts.
09:26:04 <elliott> When it came out, my computer was too bad for it.
09:26:08 <shachaf> You should play Psychonauts.
09:26:08 <elliott> Then I never got around to it.
09:26:17 <shachaf> elliott: When it came out, I wasn't aware of its existence.
09:26:35 <shachaf> Didn't stop me from playing it later.
09:26:39 <elliott> I'll bother to play Psychonauts if you bother to play Grim Fandango. Now we can procrastinate without blaming ourselves!
09:26:40 <shachaf> elliott: Come on, play Psychonauts.
09:27:01 <shachaf> I think I have a CD of Grim Fandango somewhere.
09:27:11 <shachaf> Oh, my father has it. And he's 10 time zones away from here.
09:27:15 <zzo38> Now it is time to blame the MPAA on the energy crisis!!!
09:27:51 <zzo38> Now it is time to blame the MPAA for causing energy crisis!!!
09:28:01 <elliott> shachaf: You could INFRINGE UPON ITS COPYRIGHT.
09:28:20 <elliott> I think the ultimate anti-piracy measure will be games getting bigger faster than internet connections get faster.
09:28:56 <shachaf> elliott: I like how the phrase for "a game that you can pay for in order to download in accordance with regulations" is "digital download".
09:29:05 <shachaf> I suppose that's in contrast to "analog download".
09:29:20 <elliott> shachaf: It's the best way to download real numbers.
09:29:37 <shachaf> All I want to do is download some fingers, man.
09:29:48 <shachaf> elliott: Clearly the ultimate anti-piracy measure is to include specialized hardware with your game.
09:29:50 <fizzie> Residual (ScummVM subproject to do GrimE too) website claims that you can now play (with "few glitches") all the way through Grim Fandango with it now.
09:30:00 * elliott thinks Grim Fandango might be better than MI1.
09:30:06 <elliott> If not for the controls, at least.
09:30:14 <fizzie> (And you can play the intro video of the demo of Escape from Monkey Island. That's... not quite as far.)
09:30:45 <elliott> It's not the most resource-intensive game.
09:31:13 <elliott> Win``nap''. Win``light sleep''.
09:31:24 <shachaf> Where am I going to get a Windows CD?
09:31:33 <HackEgo> /home/hackbot/hackbot.hg/multibot_cmds/lib/limits: line 5: exec: `Lose''``light: not found
09:31:35 <elliott> With an analog download, of course.
09:32:21 <elliott> fizzie: Is it just me, or did ScummVM realise they support every adventure game anyone actually wants to play and just went on a hunt for more and more obscure platforms to implement for kicks?
09:32:25 -!- nooga has joined.
09:32:48 <shachaf> elliott: Did you ever play the Discworld games?
09:33:01 <elliott> OMG, ScummVM can do Toonstruck now???
09:33:01 <shachaf> Speaking of things that ScummVM supports.
09:33:15 <elliott> shachaf: I think I played one of them for like five minutes once.
09:33:45 <fizzie> ScummVM's Tinsel (i.e. Discworld) support was real sucky back when they first included it. I guess it's better now, too.
09:35:31 <shachaf> fizzie: There was an annoying bug where it let you play through the entire game but then an item was missing in the final ending ultimate eventual supreme concluding terminating sequence.
09:35:41 <shachaf> And by item I think I mean dragon.
09:35:59 <fizzie> I might have heard something about a missing dragon, it sounds familiar.
09:36:35 <fizzie> I've just played through the first game on DOS, and I think I started the second one once but then for some reason didn't finish it.
09:36:39 <shachaf> http://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?p=67208&sid=44ec24bd244e3e1d3971fe90d51bd4cc
09:41:26 <zzo38> Due to simplicity of the system, and lack of DRM, makes my system the once most energy efficient too. And in addition, we will even omit whatever parts you don't want (such as printed manual, etc) !
09:46:50 <zzo38> One features of this BIOS is user-definable error emulation mode. Media with physical defects can still be copied! And BIOS can be adjusted by moving jumpers and user programmable ROM without software requiring data in ROM because all system call must be using NMI call and the ROM data and BIOS control cannot be accessed otherwise.
09:47:05 <zzo38> It also mean, no unique identification data can be accessed by the computer software.
09:49:49 <elliott> shachaf: Did you know that Stack Overflow has the single best piece of user interface ever?
09:50:10 <shachaf> elliott: I didn't know that.
09:50:13 <elliott> shachaf: You can only post comments every 15 seconds. Whenever you click the "post comment" button before the timeout expires, it pops up a little message telling you the timer hasn't expired Yet. Then it resets the timer.
09:50:30 <elliott> The result is hitting the button every 14 seconds about 500 times in a row.
09:50:38 <shachaf> Poor elliott has to learn the art of patience. :-(
09:50:52 <Sgeo> elliott, is that a UI thing or does the server check?
09:51:04 <shachaf> elliott: The really great part is that it says 15 seconds, but it's actually 16.
09:51:11 <elliott> I can honestly think of no conceivable reason to do it other than to annoy people.
09:51:28 <elliott> shachaf: I really hope that's true.
09:52:49 <zzo38> Lack of the copy protection even means that the store won't run out of copies; the store can make their own copy or the customer can do so, too.
09:54:34 <shachaf> I like all those words zzo38 is saying.
09:56:39 <zzo38> shachaf: Including the punctuations and sentences?
10:01:38 <shachaf> zzo38: But mainly the words.
10:03:24 <zzo38> But it is not a complete meaning unless you make the words into sentences too

10:59:36 <shachaf> I should know better than to say anything in IRC that's ever been said before.
10:59:41 <elliott> In the hoov universe, topology doesn't work like that.
10:59:45 <elliott> Also geometry, but topology sounds fanceir.
10:59:49 <shachaf> IRC people have a high sensitivity to things being said twice.

12:41:04 <elliott> Gregor: How does your log formatter decide when a quit should be shown in channel; you don't NAMES periodically so that requires unbounded lookback
12:41:08 <elliott> FINALLY I get that question in while he's here.
12:41:08 -!- nooga has joined.
12:41:38 <Gregor> elliott: My formatter does not work over a partial log, it needs history.
12:41:48 <Gregor> For the purposes of quits it doesn't.
12:42:04 <elliott> Gregor: Oh, you regenerate complete history?
12:42:36 <Gregor> The raw logs are canonical, everything else is a nicety.
12:42:50 <elliott> Gregor: Yes, but you should still NAMES periodically to handle desyncs >_>
12:42:59 <elliott> (Periodically = when you switch files, most likely)
12:43:12 <oerjan> you don't need to treat quits specially if the logs are already separated by channel
12:43:34 <Gregor> oerjan: The logs are only separated by channel if you have a per-channel bot ...
12:44:10 <Gregor> elliott: That's probably reasonable, but doesn't accomplish anything I care much about to be honest.
12:44:21 <oerjan> Gregor: well what i mean is that the logic is when you separate things by channel, which happens before even the .raw stage, no?
12:44:39 <oerjan> in fact it could be done by glogbot directly
12:45:20 <oerjan> Gregor: is glogbot initially writing everything into one big file for all channels combined, or is it writing into separate files for each channels immediately?
12:45:42 <Gregor> oerjan: One big combined file. It just dumps IRC.
12:45:44 -!- monqy has quit (Quit: hello).
12:46:20 <fizzie> By your channels combined, I am Captain glogbot.
12:46:25 <Gregor> The bot does as little intelligence as possible so that if the intelligence needs to be fixed or is buggy I can always pass it on.
12:46:40 <oerjan> ok so you do need to seek back to the previous NAMES then, i gues
12:46:52 <Gregor> But I don't seek, I just carry the names in the channel.
12:47:06 <Gregor> It would be silly to seek, since the names list is also modified by PART, NICK, KICK, etc.
12:47:40 <oerjan> Gregor: i mean that NAMES tells you the last point for a channel which you don't need to look before to know the nicks present
12:48:26 <oerjan> but of course if you are doing a rescan of entire history each time you generate files... but isn't that expensive
12:48:43 <Gregor> I only regenerate files if things fuck up.
12:49:05 <Gregor> If things fuck up because I crash, then I don't care, I now have a new starting point to generate from.
12:49:17 <Gregor> If things fuck up because my generator was bad, then I want to regenerate.
12:49:35 <Gregor> Let me explain the process more completely.
12:49:46 <elliott> And if you ever miss a single QUIT or PART because of server issues, you have to special-case it in the generator.
12:49:49 <Gregor> glogbot outputs a log. Its entire session is one log. All PAST sessions are previous logs.
12:50:08 <Gregor> I never need to read past sessions because a fresh session will always have NICK.
12:50:25 <Gregor> And I should never need to restart current sessions unless things crash, but if things crash then I'm fucked anyway.
12:50:47 <Gregor> s/have NICK/have NICKS/
12:50:52 <oerjan> Gregor: ok so it's per session, not periodically split, i guess that makes it easier

13:23:34 <oerjan> ok so 6 has the same type as 10, is the first repetition
13:24:52 <oerjan> fmap fmap fmap fmap fmap fmap = fmap . fmap fmap; fmap fmap fmap fmap fmap fmap fmap fmap fmap fmap = fmap (fmap fmap) . fmap
13:26:13 <oerjan> (fmap . fmap fmap) x = fmap (fmap fmap x)
13:26:43 <oerjan> which is still a function, so
13:28:18 <oerjan> while (fmap (fmap fmap) . fmap) x = fmap (fmap fmap) (fmap x) = fmap fmap . fmap x
13:29:51 <oerjan> (fmap fmap . fmap x) y = fmap fmap (fmap x y)
13:30:15 <oerjan> oh the functor law of course, they are equal.
13:30:49 <elliott> <oerjan> isn't that just writing it out?
13:30:53 <elliott> that does not _explain_ it, mathematician :P
13:31:14 <oerjan> well i cannot recall an explanation then
13:33:48 <oerjan> 08:46:28: <shachaf> Also, you know how you can usually stick a bunch of fmaps in front of things to get rid of parentheses?
13:33:52 <oerjan> 08:46:45: <elliott> For some sufficiently vague definition of that, sure.
13:33:54 <oerjan> 08:47:13: <shachaf> It doesn't always work, I think, no matter where you spread the fmaps around.
13:35:27 <oerjan> if you want there to be no parentheses around the fmaps either, it gets trickier
13:39:50 <oerjan> but with parentheses it's easy enough: a b (c ... y z) = (.) (a b) (c ... y) z and now you have handled one variable, iterate until there are none left
13:40:22 <oerjan> at which point the remaining initial blob can only contain parentheses and .'s

14:14:11 <elliott> At the time of this writing I'm 26, I go to school at the University of Utah; my major is math.]]
14:14:24 <elliott> I think, in context, mathematics is now double ruined.
14:14:45 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: Utah, man.
14:14:51 <Ngevd> He's only doing one math.
14:14:58 <Ngevd> Subtraction, maybe
14:21:43 <Phantom_Hoover> elliott, for more Maddox, check the comments in /r/math.
14:27:45 <itidus21> mathematics has many military and banking applications
14:28:45 <oerjan> death and taxes, it's all math
14:28:48 <itidus21> but i admit that humans are quite capable of killing each other without logic
14:31:06 <itidus21> i guess to be fair what i should say is, society is always able to force mathematicians to work on military equipment since society controls the flow of money
14:31:55 <oerjan> they have been surprisingly inefficient in my case
14:32:59 <itidus21> i guess that the point is that math has positive purposes which are beyond the agenda of any economic entity
14:33:24 <itidus21> but that it has to endure being used for evil
14:34:37 <itidus21> in my head i am unable to want world peace... to me a world peace sounds fascist and sterile.. a bit like a museum
14:35:36 <itidus21> that is to say, i have concluded that the goal of humans is not to develop peace
14:35:54 <itidus21> perhaps that is the goal of some though
14:39:02 <itidus21> like an isolated village can cope with daily internal conflict..
14:39:21 <itidus21> it doesn't require an absence of conflict
14:40:16 <fizzie> oerjan: Or perhaps you only think they have been ineffectual, while in reality they're killing people with your theorems every day.
14:40:38 <oerjan> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
14:40:57 <itidus21> fizzie: a funny quote about dennis the menace "that boy could turn a marshmallow into a dangerous weapon"
14:41:46 <itidus21> every technology is devoid of moral quality in itself.. i mean, it is only in the application of some technology that it is good or evil
14:42:26 <oerjan> this baby blender is entirely morally neutral
14:42:55 <Ngevd> itidus21, UK or US Dennis?
14:43:08 <itidus21> US cartoon i think.. the goofy blonde kid
14:43:51 <itidus21> oerjan: well.. what i think about this is
14:44:13 <itidus21> that people have a standard view of what objects are used for what...
14:44:35 <itidus21> and.. (now gaining insight) this enables people to detect abnormal behavior more readily
14:45:00 <oerjan> i think it's a relatively safe bet that few outside the UK even know that the UK dennis exists. although i somehow bumped into it on wikipedia.
14:45:23 <itidus21> i didn't know it was the UK/US thing
14:45:42 <itidus21> but i have encountered a picture of the black haired dennis and wondered why he looked different
14:45:55 <itidus21> with the red and black striped shirt (not cheating here)
14:45:59 <oerjan> i think maybe this channel discussed it before
14:48:04 <itidus21> well its common sense that an executable file is much more dangerous to download than a data file
14:48:33 -!- oklopol has joined.
14:48:44 <itidus21> it took me a while to learn or figure out that a data file is dangerous because it triggers some other code to be executed, and that other code can be imperfect
14:49:14 <itidus21> the other code of course being the program actually reading the data
14:49:28 <elliott> <Phantom_Hoover> elliott, for more Maddox, check the comments in /r/math.
14:49:31 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: Hmmmmmmmmmmm: no.
14:51:08 <itidus21> for me, at this moment in my life i am hesitant about whether i could come to like haskell (am i talking about something i don't even know about? yes..) anyway..
14:51:25 <elliott> personally i think i dislike this flkwfwejfkle itidus21 has been talking about that i know nothing about
14:51:46 <elliott> i think this is because i've built up an elaborate preconception as to what it is based on no evidence at all, and constantly attack this strawman
14:52:34 <oerjan> elliott: is there going to be a need for my passive aggressivity in this discussion?
14:53:14 <itidus21> elliott: i literally sit around at home every day, wondering what new exciting thing my family will say that will make me die a little bit more inside each time
14:53:26 <itidus21> nothing else is meaningful about me

15:07:21 <elliott> I think I know what you mean.
15:07:41 <itidus21> so the lesson i try to take from that is to not try to prove some principle to someone..
15:08:44 <itidus21> the other day... i was having some delusion that he was leaving the butter out on the bench on purpose for me to put away.. and as i laid in bed a surge of anger rose in me and i confronted him about it
15:08:57 <itidus21> and he was proud of me for it the next day
15:09:43 <itidus21> he has told me before he is proud of me if i stand up to him when he needs to be stood up to.. ahh its weird

15:33:07 <itidus21> that it shares 3 letters with maddox
15:33:31 <elliott> Deewiant: Ohh, *that* is what the refrance Phantom_Hoover was.
15:33:44 <elliott> Deewiant: This worries me because it means a third person lives in Hexham.

15:34:13 <Deewiant> I was surprised somebody didn't pick up on that when I first linked it :-P
15:34:52 <elliott> Deewiant: I thought it vaguely plausible you'd set up Hexham weather on your phone just for shits and giggles.
15:35:00 <fizzie> http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=How+many+people+live+in+Hexham%3F
15:35:28 <elliott> Us Hexhamites and Helsinkopods should set up our phones to have the other one as an alternate location so e.g. we always know the time in the other place.
15:36:00 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: At least three.
15:36:10 <elliott> Well, fizzie, ineiros, Deewiant, atehwa.
15:36:11 <fizzie> I live in Espoo, to be all technical about it.
15:36:22 <fizzie> And so does ineiros; don't know about Deewiant, atehwa.
15:36:23 <Phantom_Hoover> elliott, so the esolanger density is significantly lower than that in Hexham?
15:36:30 <elliott> fizzie: That doesn't really "count", it's all Helsinki to me.
15:36:40 <fizzie> It doesn't really "count" for many people here, too.
15:36:40 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: Well... Helsinki is rather bigger than Hexham.
15:36:52 <fizzie> oko's from Turku unless I misremember.

15:37:52 <fizzie> Deewiant: You capitalist.
15:38:34 <elliott> I'm still not convinced Deewiant is a person.
15:38:35 <fizzie> (Generally apartment prices in Helsinki are slightly higher... though there's certainly overlap in that cheap bits of Helsinki are a lot cheaper than expensive bits of Espoo.)
15:39:27 <itidus21> i wonder if they intend to connect interpreters to wolframalpha
15:39:30 <elliott> I can't believe you guys actually called a place Espoo.
15:39:50 <fizzie> Stupid W|A only knows about median home sale prices in U.S.
15:39:56 <fizzie> It's no longer the best thing.
15:40:00 <fizzie> In fact, it's now the worst thing.
15:40:08 <elliott> "The Helsinki University of Technology, in Otaniemi, Espoo"
15:40:11 <fizzie> Sic transit gloria mundi.
15:40:20 <elliott> fizzie: Have you considered gently educating your officials as to how to spell Espoo (i.e. not "Helsinki")?
15:40:25 <fizzie> elliott: It was in Helsinki originally.
15:40:32 <Deewiant> We didn't come up with Espoo, the Swedes did.
15:40:56 <fizzie> (It's Esbo in Swedish.)
15:41:04 <fizzie> (And Helsinki's Helsingfors.)
15:41:43 <fizzie> (Two national languages and all that.)
15:41:44 <elliott> Deewiant: It's always the Swedes.
15:41:49 <Ngevd> Espoo seems to be the Kingston upon Thames of Finland
15:41:54 <elliott> fizzie: Helsingfors is a pretty good name, I gotta say.
15:42:42 <fizzie> It's not a *too* farfetched idea that some day Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen will be merged into a single place, though. Certainly it's been proposed a couple of times.
15:42:49 <fizzie> And Kauniainen is completely surrounded by Espoo anyway.
15:42:53 <elliott> "The local taxation rate in Kauniainen is the lowest in Finland (16.5%),[5] which makes the city attractive to the highest earners. This in turn makes the average income generally high, making it possible to keep the taxation rate low without compromising the service to the inhabitants."
15:43:03 <elliott> I bet Deewiant secretly lives in Kauninaineianeinawenwenawkejawenkawjnfnsfljsiojuauauaua.
15:43:11 <fizzie> Rich Swedish-speaking folks live there.

15:44:59 <elliott> Ngevd: No, but I suspect it's the basis of approx. 16 thousand trillion billion bad jokes.
15:45:12 * elliott vaguely recalls those place names, though.

15:46:05 <elliott> "Not even informally" -- Deewiant "methinks" Deewiant
15:46:08 <fizzie> elliott: "haukotella" (verb), "haukotus" (noun).
15:46:40 <fizzie> Hokay, work -> shops -> home now. ->
15:46:58 <elliott> Deewiant: hauuuuuuuuuukotella
15:47:03 <Ngevd> There are also Swallowship Woods and Wagtail Wood
15:47:10 <Deewiant> elliott: You want the noun for that
15:47:11 <elliott> I'm attempting to disprove my completely ludicrous hypothesis that it only works for English.
15:47:26 <elliott> Wow, that actually made me yawn.
15:53:56 <fizzie> Similarly to the University, the "Helsinki airport" is in fact in Vantaa. (It's proper name is in fact "Helsinki-Vantaa airport", code HEL.)
15:58:26 <Vorpal> java is annoying to code in (doing this for university purposes)
15:59:08 <Vorpal> it is like a clunkier C# (yes I know java was around before C#). The languages are very similar, but C# feels more streamlined somehow.

18:48:09 <Ngevd> I've got a phantomly Haskell error that I cannot work out
18:48:31 <Ngevd> http://hpaste.org/56121
18:49:00 <Ngevd> The error comes up when running with the arg "general"

18:50:54 <lambdabot> forall k a. (Ord k) => [(k, a)] -> M.Map k a
18:51:41 <kallisti> I find gen_map kind of confusing, as it doesn't have a complete pattern.
18:51:49 <kallisti> it just checks [] and ["general"]
18:52:04 <Ngevd> I'm gonna add everything else
18:52:34 <Ngevd> Really, there's going to be similar things to general but military, legal, and domestic
18:54:35 <kallisti> well uh... I'm guessing you have a field that isn't 4 elements large?

19:02:03 <itidus21> so i was laying there thinking and it occured to me that odd numbers are gardens of eden among the numbers for the rule a' = a x 2
19:02:15 <itidus21> i think this is a good thing to happen to me
19:03:09 <kallisti> an odd number is defined as an integer n for which there exists an integer k such that n = 2k+1
19:03:49 <kallisti> perhaps I misunderstand what you mean though
19:03:54 <itidus21> i mean there is no odd number a' which satisfies a' = a x 2
19:04:18 <kallisti> that's the definition of an even number
19:05:04 <itidus21> no.. im trying to combine numbers and CA
19:05:42 <itidus21> lets say a 1x1 CA with an unbounded natural numbers
19:06:07 <itidus21> my terminology and notations really sucks :P
19:06:47 -!- _Slereah has changed nick to Slereah.
19:07:08 <quintopia> the collatz rule is far more interesting
19:08:22 <itidus21> i am not quite familiar with the extent to which i can say things like: a' = a * 2 is a CA and on that basis to say odd numbers are gardens of eden
19:08:26 <kallisti> they're garden of eden states in a 1x1 CA grid where the states are natural numbers, because there's no state that you can revert to from an odd number.
19:08:46 <kallisti> ...you're basically describing a recursive equation.
19:09:14 <itidus21> it's all shakey ground for me.. the idea makes sense but terminology and notation is not my strong thing :P
19:09:33 <quintopia> you cannot say its a CA in the traditional sense
19:09:46 <quintopia> since traditional CAs have locality
19:10:00 <itidus21> i like the phrase garden of eden
19:10:05 <kallisti> a 1x1 CA might as well be "a variable"
19:10:46 <quintopia> traditional CAs have finite state sets
19:11:06 <kallisti> not a FSA but an ISA (infinite state automaton :P )
19:11:10 -!- DCliche has joined.
19:11:23 <itidus21> at first i thought, ahh a' = a + 1 would not have any gardens of eden in the sense i am describing
19:11:55 <kallisti> Ngevd: pretty sure a LBA has more than one "cell"
19:12:10 <Ngevd> Deadfish is a linear bounded automaton
19:12:20 <itidus21> i am almost certainly misusing terminology
19:13:47 <kallisti> what I'm describing is a finite state automata but with an infinite set of states
19:14:29 <Ngevd> I would say "infinite state automaton" is too general and misleading
19:14:49 <Ngevd> And I have now mentally redefined LBA's
19:14:52 -!- Klisz has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds).
19:15:39 <kallisti> well yes it's possible that giving a FSA an infinite set of states would make it equivalent to some other automaton but I don't really know what that would be.
19:18:10 <kallisti> oh, hmm... minsky machines are turing machines.
19:18:34 <Ngevd> Minsky machines with more than one register are equivalent to turing machines.
19:18:40 <Ngevd> There is quite a big difference
19:19:34 <kallisti> The three counter machine base models have the same computational power since the instructions of one model can be derived from those of another. All are equivalent to the computational power of Turing machines (but only if Gödel numbers are used to encode data in the register or registers; otherwise their power is equivalent to the primitive recursive functions)

22:08:07 <ais523> (in the UK, votes are counted by hand, sorting them into piles by candidate; if the vote count is close, then they check each of the individual piles again, and if it's particularly close even after that, they keep repeating the process until everyone's happy all the votes are in the right place)

22:30:15 <oerjan> <kallisti> oerjan: no there's no special case for flushes <-- you didn't say whether my product quotient gave the right answer, though.
22:31:04 <oerjan> i guess your version isn't right either with the filter or without? (the latter would correspond to using more than one 52 card deck, i think.)
22:33:08 <lambdabot> Data.List permutations :: [a] -> [[a]]
22:33:08 <lambdabot> Data.List subsequences :: [a] -> [[a]]
22:33:54 <kallisti> oerjan: hmmmm? the filter is used to get rid of the 5-of-a-kind cases which are impossible
22:34:05 <oerjan> kallisti: that's what i implied
22:34:15 <kallisti> the rest corresponds to a 52 card deck. the reason the results are different is because all of the suits are considered the same.
22:34:46 <oerjan> but _your_ calculation assumes the suits are the same, and you said they were wrong
22:36:48 <kallisti> I believe your product quotient is the correct answer is distinct combinations are what you're looking for.

22:44:08 <kallisti> it would seem that if that were the case then the "distinct" and "frequency" columns would be the same for flush.

22:49:02 <oerjan> it's because the flushes count approximately double

22:54:08 <oerjan> subtracting all the flush variations gives your number
22:54:43 <kallisti> so my calculation is basically counting the distinct combinations of a sequence of card ranks from a deck.
22:55:10 <kallisti> but not the distinct number of poker hands, ignoring suit.
22:56:40 <kallisti> heh, I like you've got a 50/50 chance of just getting a really shitty hand
22:57:02 <kallisti> assuming that the deck is full even.
22:57:34 <kallisti> and then the probabilities of everything else drop hugely
22:59:41 <kallisti> maybe I'd be better at lowball poker.
22:59:50 <oerjan> i hear luck has almost nothing to do with it.

23:03:49 <kallisti> I would think lowball rules severely fucks up the game/
23:04:14 <kallisti> so that betting is essentially much riskier.
23:09:21 <kallisti> A wheel or bicycle is the poker hand 5-4-3-2-A, regardless of suit, which is a five-high straight, the lowest-ranking of the straights.
23:09:24 <kallisti> In ace-to-five low poker, where aces are allowed to play as low and straights and flushes do not count against a hand's "low" status, this is the best possible hand.
23:09:33 <kallisti> that's lame. straights and flushes should count against your hand's lowness
23:10:02 <kallisti> you should calculate the priority of your hand as normal, and then invert the ordering.
23:11:15 <kallisti> Deuce-to-seven low is often called Kansas City lowball (the no-limit single-draw variation) or just "low poker". It is almost the direct opposite of standard poker: high hand loses. It is not as commonly used as the ace-to-five low method.
23:11:38 <kallisti> so then the best hand would be 7-5-4-3-2
23:12:36 -!- DCliche has joined.
23:12:47 <kallisti> that would otherwise be the worst possible hand in the game.
23:16:15 <kallisti> plus the deuce-to-seven low hands sound cooler. "Seven perfect", "the nuts", "number one", "eight perfect", "rough eighty-six", "eighty-seven smooth", "average eight", "rough eighty-seven", "nine perfect"
