02:49:29 <kallisti> > last . showCReal 1000 . log $ 2
02:49:44 <kallisti> $ has the lowest possible operator precedence, and is right-associative.
02:49:59 <kallisti> this is in contrast to regular function application, which has higher precedence than any operator, and is left-associative.
02:50:13 <kallisti> it's just a syntactically different means of applying functions.
02:50:37 <kallisti> (also it allows you to use function application as a function, thus passing it to other functions and stuff)
02:51:05 <kallisti> > map ($ 2) [abs, negate, recip]
02:51:17 <Guest94209> i'm not very good at thinking curriedly, so i'm not sure what it accomplishes in that call when you put it between parameters
02:51:39 <kallisti> ($ 2) is a function that takes a function and applies the argument 2 to it
02:52:30 <kallisti> you could think of the left-hand side of the $ as being empty, waiting to be filled in later.
02:53:30 <kallisti> it's a special form of operator syntax called operator sections
02:53:41 <oerjan> > (-2) 2 -- *evil cackle*
02:54:33 <kallisti> Guest94209: also when you enclose a operator in parentheses it refers to the operator as a function.

12:38:31 <Taneb> A thought occurs from my attempt many years ago to learn C++
12:38:44 <Taneb> What was with that system pause thing I seem to remember?
12:39:55 <elliott> system("pause") does something implementation-defined to "pause".
12:40:05 <elliott> On Windows it will run the pause command which says "Press any key blah blah blah" and waits for a key.
12:40:22 <elliott> It is used by very bad C++ tutorials so that you can double-click an executable without the command window disappearing at the end.
12:42:38 <Taneb> Haskell is definitely the easiest to learn non-esoteric language I have encountered.
12:42:44 <Taneb> And tried to learn
12:42:48 <cheater> haha, that was the most annoying thing when i started developing on a windowing system
12:43:00 <cheater> took me a day or so to figure it out.
12:43:29 -!- elliott has left ("Leaving").
12:43:38 <cheater> Taneb: i concur, other languages are fairly difficult to figure out
12:56:35 <fizzie> Older tutorials from the DOS age instead all started with system("cls") to cler the screen.
12:57:45 <kallisti> I disagree with the popular "Haskell is easier to learn than imperative languages"
12:59:06 <Taneb> kallisti, carry oh
12:59:09 <kallisti> I think understand the basics of Haskell took about as long as having a firm grasp of Python when I first started programming.
13:00:29 <kallisti> with (roughly) the same amount of effort.
13:00:48 <kallisti> the difference is what they I already knew some of the basics of functional programming. How to write recursive programs, for example.
13:01:35 <kallisti> if anything is Haskell is /more/ difficult to learn, or about the same.

13:04:07 <kallisti> I definitely think it varies for different people, of course. If you have a background in esolangs and programming language concepts.
13:04:17 <kallisti> then of course picking up Haskell was pretty quick.
13:04:40 <kallisti> people with mathematics backgrounds as well would likely find Haskell somewhat natural.

13:05:54 <kallisti> I think people with absolutely no experience in either programming nor mathematics would not find it natural at all to think about recursion, recursive ADTs, polymorphism, higher-order functions, etc. These concepts would take a lot of effort to really sink in.

13:06:57 <Taneb> Is it bad that my first programming language was imperative, and I struggle to understand the imperative bits of Haskell?
13:07:14 <kallisti> Haskell handles imperative code a bit differently.
13:07:27 <kallisti> in fact the IO monad is a major stumbling block for many people. so that's pretty normal.
13:08:15 <kallisti> mainly because I wasn't clear on the details. It sounds very hand-wavey for a while until I really bug in and looked at how it works.
13:08:37 <kallisti> I'm going to go eat breakfast and drink some coffee.
13:09:04 <Taneb> I don't drink coffee.
13:09:16 <Taneb> I don't eat coffee, either.
13:09:25 <Taneb> I do both eat and drink breakfast, however.

13:19:36 <fizzie> Quiktrip sounds like some brand name for DMT or something. "Quiktrip(tm) - when you just don't have the time for a full-blown trip."
13:22:24 <kallisti> you can do all the stereotypical American things you could imagine
13:23:42 <kallisti> buy hot dawgs, huge 1.5 litre soft drinks, potato chips, coffee, energy drinks, and beer... all while filling your SUV with gas.

15:05:43 <Gregor> It ... it actually works, doesn't it.
15:06:06 <Gregor> It's kinda hard to tell because details are sparse, but everything suggests it's describing a working system.
15:08:50 <elliott> I'm not convinced it has algebraic data type declarations, but it has lists and bytes, so you don't technically need 'em :P
15:09:04 <elliott> (I think it might be dynamically typed, so you could nest them.)
15:09:07 <elliott> Either way, it's... pretty impressive.
15:09:39 <elliott> here's the worst part: it's been out since 2010, and nobody noticed

17:24:53 <Taneb> What would I do with them?
17:25:03 <Taneb> My friend Chad says hello
17:25:15 <Gregor> I'm fairly certain that "205 buy insect repellant patch" is a legit user.
17:25:18 <elliott> List the ones that have red links, and look like spambots.
17:25:27 <elliott> Be liberal, i.e. list ones that you think might not be spambots.
17:25:35 <elliott> Anything with numbers in the name is suspect.
17:26:11 <Gregor> Throw that one out immediatemento.

21:41:35 <Aardwolf> Hello, the wiki at esoteric.voxelperfect.net rocks, but, I looked under recent changes to see what was new, and saw nothing but SPAM and thousands of SPAMBOT accounts. Shouldn't the wiki be invite only (just require easy approval from a member that's all)?
21:47:13 -!- HalfTauRSquared has changed nick to PiRSquared.
21:55:58 <itidus20> Aardwolf: they're changing servers..
21:56:09 <itidus20> its a fairly active topic here lately
21:56:59 <itidus20> basically.. they are as aware of the bots as a person can be aware of anything
21:57:35 <itidus20> not only that they're working on a custom captcha system to try to outsmart spam
21:57:36 <ais523> Aardwolf: invite only would be over the top
21:57:47 <ais523> there are plenty of easy ways to stop the spambot, but Graue is unwilling to implement any of tehm
21:58:04 <ais523> but I'm cleaning the spam out by hand, all of it, and elliott's working on migrating the wiki to a new server where we can have all the antispam we want
21:58:27 <ais523> did you use the recent changes link on the main page? it has most of the spam edited out (by me, so you'll still see recent spam)
