01:01:20 <itidus21> i have a fairly dumb question to throw out there.. im wondering what sort of computational class i would have if programs consist of a sequence of optionally labelled lines: goto line and print text
01:02:58 <itidus21> so it would be like: 1:goto 10. 5: print world. goto 11. 10: print hello. goto 5. 11:undocumented end command
01:12:10 <Sgeo> Something that can print a finite or infinite amount of text. I don't think printing counts as computation?
01:12:16 <Sgeo> But maybe I'm missing something
01:12:39 <Sgeo> Either it terminates or it doesn't, and it's easy to determine statically.
01:17:59 <kmc> it's not really a computational class, because it always does the same thing
01:18:14 <kmc> it doesn't accept/reject strings, or return values based on inputs, or anything like that
01:18:25 <kmc> it's just a graph
01:19:14 <elliott> we'd probably categorise it as [[Category:Finite state automata]].
01:21:42 <Sgeo> kmc, so do turing machines.
01:21:56 <Sgeo> Well, unless the tape counts as input?
01:22:07 <Sgeo> I thought turing machines start with blank tape
01:22:25 <Sgeo> Although I guess that doesn't make sense.
01:24:52 <kmc> Turing machines accept/reject a string
01:25:24 <kmc> the string is given as the initial contents of the tape
01:25:35 <kmc> and the machine can enter an accept or reject state
01:26:11 <kmc> or, you can talk about Turing machines implementing functions, in which case the input is the starting tape and the output is the final tape
01:28:07 <kmc> Turing machines which accept/reject strings give you the computational classes R (recursive languages) and RE (recursively enumerable languages)
01:28:55 <kmc> a language is just a set of strings
01:29:17 <kmc> a language is in RE if there exists a TM which accepts all strings in the language
01:29:24 <kmc> a language is in R if there exists a TM which accepts all strings in the language, and rejects all strings not in the language
01:30:41 -!- derdon_ has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
01:30:51 <kmc> if the initial tape is always blank then you cannot use your TMs to define languages; however they are still interesting in other ways, for example deciding whether one halts is still uncomputable
01:32:13 <kmc> in fact there is an alternative definition of RE which uses TMs that have blank input and a second write-only 'output tape'
01:33:22 <kmc> in that formulation, a language L is RE iff there's some TM such that any string in L is eventually output by the TM
01:33:36 <kmc> exercise: prove that the two definitions of RE are equivalent
01:36:17 <kmc> when i said 'accepts all strings in the language' i should have also said 'and no others'

03:02:43 <quintopia> what is the minimum value of x such that if i adversarily give you x of the n^2+2 "obvious" data about an n-category venn diagram, you can completely solve it?
03:04:07 <coppro> define an 'n-category Venn diagram'
03:04:31 <quintopia> strike that n^2+2 part. that's too subjective.
03:05:48 <quintopia> coppro: a set of n finite sets in a finite universe where all the elements are indistinguishable except by which of these sets they are members of
03:11:30 <coppro> call the set of these sets S
03:12:19 <coppro> what is the least x so that, given a function from P -> N, where P \subseteq P(S), defined by taking the size of the intersection of those sets, you can extend the function to be total on P(S)?
03:13:28 <coppro> Because it's just a system of linear equations
03:13:55 <coppro> And there are 2^n powersets, n of which contain a given set
03:14:27 <coppro> you can drop the +1 if you aren't considering the empty set
03:15:28 <quintopia> um. would keeping the +1 account for the elements in the universe that are in none of the sets?
03:15:43 <quintopia> aka "the set of all elements not in any set we care about"

09:54:12 <kmc> java's so stupid for not boxing primitives
09:54:21 <kmc> instead they should have put 10 years of research into automatic unboxing
09:54:31 <kmc> and then exposed the unboxed versions anyway because people neeeed speeeeed
09:55:50 <elliott> They should have just boxed them.
09:55:52 <shachaf> kmc: Is that in response to anything in particular?
09:56:00 <kmc> it's what GHC did ;)
09:56:11 <kmc> kids these days, you have it so easy
09:56:15 <elliott> After all, applets Swing would seal Java's reputation for slowness.
09:56:19 <shachaf> Boxed values in Haskell are very different from boxed values in Java.
09:56:25 <elliott> So they could sacrifice unboxed primitives and not lose much in terms of speed rep.
09:56:32 <kmc> back in my day every function had to start with a guard | x `seq` y `seq` z `seq` False = undefined
09:56:35 <kmc> EVERY FUNCTION.
09:57:05 <kmc> i started learning Haskell in 2006
09:57:31 <kmc> boxing serves a common purpose in Haskell and Java
09:57:35 <elliott> What? That's only one or two years earlier than me.
09:57:42 <kmc> which is to enable polymorphism
09:57:48 <kmc> yes, i'm not actually an old-timer, it just amuses me to say such things

09:58:50 <kmc> but maybe these days ArrayList<int> is secret code for ArrayList<Integer>?

10:01:34 <shachaf> Little-known fact: John McCarthy invented Java in 1957.
10:01:49 <elliott> I just want to say that whoever came up with the <> syntax for C++ templates should, e.g. start a home for orphaned kittens or something.

10:02:05 <elliott> No, not a home. A hospital.
10:02:10 <elliott> A hospital for injured, orphaned kittens.
10:02:14 <shachaf> Then he hid the manuscript describing it, which was only rediscovered by James Gosling in 1995.

10:02:40 <shachaf> elliott: What's wrong with that syntax?
10:02:52 <shachaf> The only improvement they could make would be to add close tags at the end of a template definition.
10:03:07 <kmc> elliott, did you know that interpreting >> as double close template rather than right shift can change a valid C++03 program into another valid program which does something different?
10:03:08 <shachaf> template<typename T> struct Foo { ... } template</typename T>;
10:03:42 <elliott> kmc: So C++11 changed the meaning of existing programs?

10:39:01 <elliott> shachaf: Hey, you're meant to report spam in #freenode, right?
10:39:05 <elliott> I always forget how these things work.
10:39:22 <shachaf> I think you're meant to not care.

10:40:51 <elliott> <elliott> well... you asked someone to join your completely unrelated channel out of the blue... which is spam
10:41:13 <elliott> Spam is actually a canned meat product.
10:41:15 <kmc> when I was in SF i saw a bird that looks like a duck and quacks like a duck but isn't
10:41:18 <shachaf> Now I don't even need to report spammers to deal with their complaints.

10:42:50 <kmc> why would the spammer be in #freenode
10:42:57 <elliott> They joined about 5 seconds before I reported it.
10:43:06 <elliott> Guilty conscience, perhaps?
10:43:11 <elliott> Maybe they're just trying to see how quickly they can get k-lined.
10:43:18 <shachaf> kmc: Wouldn't it be easier to keep a #haskell tab open than to look at logs?
10:43:23 <kmc> i tried to get k-lined but all i got was this lousy t-shirt
10:43:26 <elliott> I like that they said "hi" before spamming, though.
10:43:33 <elliott> Mighty considerate of them.
10:43:39 <oerjan> kmc: so you just got t-lined, then?
10:43:44 <kmc> shachaf, that would reduce the energy barrier of replying to a dangerous level
10:44:01 <oerjan> a k-shirt might be something weird to wear
10:44:09 <elliott> kmc: What if I set up a bot in here that lets you send messages to #haskell with a single command?
10:44:11 <kmc> perhaps i should patch XChat to forbid sending messages to #haskell
10:44:18 <kmc> probably not
10:44:26 <shachaf> C++11 supports "for (int &x : array)"?
10:44:33 <kmc> yes, it's the best
10:44:35 -!- cheater has joined.
10:44:38 <shachaf> I guess only for arrays whose length is known at compile-time.
10:44:41 <elliott> kmc: What if I set up a bot in here that forwarded everything you say to #haskell?
10:44:43 <kmc> works for iteratable things too
10:44:50 <kmc> elliott, what if Fuck you!
10:45:20 <kmc> elliott, if you want you can join #esoteric
10:45:26 <elliott> If you want, you can /query kmc.
10:45:35 <kmc> we can dance if we want to
10:45:36 <elliott> Then you'll be talking TO YOURSELF.
10:45:52 <shachaf> Talking to yourself in /query is an interesting experience with somewhat high latency.
10:46:17 <elliott> I take this to mean that shachaf regularly /queries himself.
10:46:24 <elliott> Enough to notice the oddity of increased latency.
10:46:43 <shachaf> elliott: Little-known fact: I'm kmc.

10:48:17 <shachaf> kmc: Does the Mosh exist for the Android? Or are you porting it?
10:48:21 <kmc> porting it
10:49:14 <shachaf> kmc: Is this why you were writing ARM shellcode?
10:49:33 <kmc> https://github.com/keithw/mosh
10:50:41 <elliott> I do not like how it links to http://mosh.mit.edu which redirects back to the page itself.
10:50:45 <elliott> That makes me want to hurt things. :(
10:50:55 <kmc> you have a low anger threshold
10:51:09 <shachaf> It's the mosh that broke the camel's back.
10:51:11 <elliott> Okay, that prediction thing is cool.
10:51:15 <shachaf> Where elliott is the camel.
10:51:25 <elliott> Although the fact that line-editing is done remotely is just a flaw of SSH anyway.
10:51:41 <kmc> i wouldn't blame SSH in general
10:51:44 <kmc> in cooked mode, sure
10:51:55 <kmc> but mosh's prediction works even in fullscreen curses apps
10:51:56 <shachaf> elliott: What I mean to say is: You're a camel.
10:52:10 <shachaf> I would've said that in another channel, except that... Oh.
10:52:14 <elliott> kmc: Well, what I mean is that the entire SSH model is broken and everything is wrong and sucks, but I decided to focus my complaint.
10:52:24 <kmc> if by 'SSH' you mean 'Unix' then sure
10:52:59 <shachaf> Trick question: @ doesn't support anything
10:53:12 <oerjan> it supports the revolutionary @sec
10:53:35 <elliott> I think I @told oerjan some things in the log. Maybe?
10:54:04 <oerjan> nope, that was yesterday
10:54:06 <shachaf> kmc: Can you help me reset my sleep schedule?
10:54:30 <elliott> kmc: Anyway, I don't need mosh because I have a LOCAL ORAGNIC FARM-GROWN SERVER in my HOMELAND.

10:56:05 <elliott> What was Debian 1.0 called?
10:56:18 <oerjan> elliott: why are you doing mad-libs
10:56:32 <shachaf> I'm pretty sure Potato was the best release.
10:56:57 <elliott> "Debian 1.0 was never released: Accidently InfoMagic, a CD vendor, shipped the development release of Debian and entitled it 1.0. On December 11th 1995, Debian and InfoMagic jointly announced that this release was screwed."
10:56:58 <oerjan> elliott: <elliott> kmc: Anyway, I don't need mosh because I have a LOCAL ORAGNIC FARM-GROWN SERVER in my HOMELAND. <elliott> And I'm prepared to be UNBEARABLY SMUG ABOUT IT.
10:57:10 <elliott> oerjan: That's an incredibly specific mad-lib template.
10:57:18 <elliott> shachaf: OK, but Debian 1.1 was released.
10:57:34 <shachaf> I was in #llvm on oftc recently.
10:57:48 <shachaf> That channel made me feel bad.
10:57:52 -!- nortti has joined.
10:58:11 <elliott> Heh, Debian 1.1 didn't come out until after Ian Murdock stopped being project lead. An eventful career.
10:58:29 <shachaf> Their SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO is so high that even asking my VAGUELY ON-TOPIC QUESTION decreased it.
10:58:48 <elliott> apt only came out in 1999?!
10:59:11 <elliott> shachaf: #haskell's signal-to-noise ratio isn't that bad right now! Admittedly, they're not talking about Haskell.
10:59:18 <elliott> <Rc43> gaze__, hm, I am newbe in sound, five minutes ago I just used 6 parametrix EQs per a track with statically gained notes
10:59:18 <elliott> <Rc43> gaze__, so If I coded a plugin, I did the same, without any analysis
10:59:18 <elliott> <gaze__> I'd use the D vst api or the python one, and play with filters in matlab or something
10:59:26 <oerjan> now shachaf is doing mad-libs too. freaky.
10:59:29 <elliott> <gaze__> I mean you could write a haskell vst api but haskell doesn't buy you anything here
10:59:33 <elliott> Oblig. "other than on-topicality".
10:59:39 <elliott> kmc must appreciate my #haskell commentary.
11:00:28 <elliott> "Please, don't use plain String's (especially when you are processing >100m files). Just replace them with ByteString's"
11:00:29 <shachaf> oerjan: That was the point, yes.
11:00:54 <elliott> Bonus from the code they suggest: " filename <- liftM getArgs"
11:01:09 <oerjan> shachaf: ah i guess i MISINTERPRETED it AS A COINCIDENCE

11:16:56 <shachaf> Why can't it do a binary search?
11:17:14 <elliott> kmc: I found another bug in mosh!
11:17:16 <shachaf> I mean, I'm not surprised that it does that, given that the lines are separate and come after the other.
11:17:46 <Jafet> shachaf: you're assuming that all systems, if they have uint8_t and uint32_t, have uint16_t
11:18:15 <kmc> elliott, you're so helpful
11:18:16 <Jafet> If systems were like that, we wouldn't need configure scripts
11:18:17 <shachaf> Jafet: No, I'm assuming that you can test all of those at once, and then check them individually if one of them fails.

11:20:47 <elliott> Are archives of that list publicly available? I mean, watching rms embarrass himself is always fun.
11:20:53 <kmc> don't know
11:21:01 <shachaf> Jafet: The point is that if it needs the information and all four of those are available with overwhelming probability, can't it just do one check?
11:21:39 <elliott> shachaf: Being reasonable is not an autoconf design goal.
11:21:46 <shachaf> Maybe I should implement that and submit a patch to autoconf.
11:21:55 <shachaf> Think of how much time would be saved waiting on ./configure scripts.
11:22:02 <Jafet> Yes. Then again, you're assuming optimizing tendencies of people who write programs that write shell scripts.

11:38:43 <fizzie> And there were two other TRSDOSes on the channel where it was discussed.
11:39:12 <nortti> Because I am not completely sure about some questions I also sometimes get OS/2
11:39:19 <elliott> Well, Windows 95 is the perfect operating system, you know.
11:41:17 <elliott> http://www.bbspot.com/Images/News_Features/2003/01/os_quiz/windows_95.jpg
11:41:56 <fizzie> elliott: Incidentally, the very next comment from him after "arg, I'm windows 95" was about Slaves to Armok.
11:42:20 <fizzie> <@mooz> most people would implement the turning of gargoyles into stone in daylight by adding a condition
11:42:23 <fizzie> <@mooz> in armok one makes the gargoyle skin material react with sunlight
11:42:43 <elliott> fizzie: Oh, I didn't interpret that as quiz talk at all.
11:42:56 <elliott> I thought you meant you acquired (and presumably started using) TRSDOS in 2003.
11:43:04 <elliott> And two other people in the channel used TRDOS too.
11:43:14 <elliott> In retrospect, that's... not the most likely thing.

11:45:19 <olsner> so apparently I'm windows 95
11:45:20 <nortti> elliott: I have used Amiga Workbench 1.3 as my main os in 2009 and I propably could use Apple DOS as my main os.
11:45:25 <shachaf> <elliott> If you want, you can /join #haskell
11:45:38 <fizzie> Oh, today I'm Apple DOS 3.1.
11:46:17 <nortti> elliott: What about DOS in 2010?
11:47:00 <Jafet> If Amiga is hardcore, DOS is dubstep.
11:47:22 <shachaf> ... ./configure "checking whether build environment is sane" takes such a long time because it has a "sleep 1" in it.
11:47:37 <elliott> shachaf: No, it's just a really intense sanity test.
11:48:24 <oerjan> if it doesn't drive you crazy, you're definitely sane
11:48:57 <nortti> I got Windows 95 when I answered the least likely choice for me.
11:50:53 <elliott> Did you know I once used Windows 95 as my only OS for ~a WHOLE WEEK?
11:51:34 <elliott> shachaf: Did you read about cmccann's iteratee-thing?
11:51:35 <shachaf> Did you know I once used Windows 95 as my only OS for ~a WHOLE LONG TIME?
11:51:42 <shachaf> And I was so excited about Windows 98.
11:51:50 <shachaf> Do you know what exciting features Windows 98 had?
11:51:56 <elliott> Windows 98 was like Windows 95 except terrible.
11:52:10 <nortti> elliott: I used Windows 95 as my only os for a year. After that I started using MS-DOS with DOSSHELL
11:52:20 <shachaf> elliott: Windows 98 had the exciting Quick Launch bar!
11:52:57 <elliott> The only good thing about DOS is BASIC.
11:53:03 <shachaf> elliott: Windows 98 Hebrew Edition also reversed a bunch of things, so that the Close Restore Minimize buttons were on the left side and the Start Menu was on the right side.

11:54:12 <itidus21> i got qbasic 1.0 including nibbles.bas and gorilla.bas with dos (like everyone, i know)
11:54:14 <nortti> elliott: It is also fucking fast on hardware where Win95 crawls
11:54:20 <elliott> RTL languages are terrifying.
11:54:55 <itidus21> i found the code of nibbles and gorilla to be too difficult to understand though
11:55:02 <elliott> shachaf: didn't answer my question. :(
11:55:23 <shachaf> elliott: What question -- oh.
11:55:30 <shachaf> I don't read about iteratees.
11:55:31 <nortti> I got QBASIC 1.1 with DOS and installed Borland C++ 3.1 afterwards
11:55:35 <elliott> shachaf: They're not iteratees, though!
11:55:39 <elliott> shachaf: It's just linear logic.
11:55:48 <elliott> Except variables represent streams.
11:56:02 <elliott> And negation turns outputs into inputs.
11:56:12 <itidus21> i eventually got given turbo pascal 6
11:56:42 <elliott> e.g. Stream (In a `Join` Out b) is a length-preserving (== always outputs one after reading one) transformation from streams of as to streams of bs.
11:56:47 <nortti> itidus21: is turbo pascal really as fast as they say

11:57:32 <fizzie> I got Borland C++ 4.52 on one of them CDs they used to tape onto the covers of PC magazines.
11:58:27 <itidus21> fizzie: oh yeah.. i got something like that too once was excited too.. but somehow disc got lost or something.
11:58:40 <nortti> I actually learned programming by reading trough my father's old programs written in C when I was 8.
11:59:09 <elliott> I learned programming when I was 8 too
11:59:50 <nortti> elliott: I lerned it in 2005
11:59:50 <itidus21> i had a train wreck of a time learning to program.. many would say i never learned :D
11:59:51 <fizzie> Actually, I wonder if I still have that disc. I seem to have "PC Plus SuperCD no. 43b" with full PartitionMagic 2.0 on it. It's worth £80!
12:00:05 <elliott> nortti: Oh. Not another person younger than me.
12:00:11 <elliott> There's too many of you now; I feel old.
12:00:23 <elliott> I was here when I was 11, you whipper-snappers!
12:00:39 <itidus21> fizzie: why is it worth so much?
12:00:55 <oerjan> elliott: don't worry, you can borrow my cane

12:03:13 <fizzie> Hey, I've got both trueSpace 1.0 on this SuperCD and trueSpace 3/SE on another.
12:03:42 <itidus21> i cant quite recall if that was the same magazine i got some kind of c++ with.. also some article about expert systems comes to mind
12:03:54 <elliott> fizzie: Can I have your seedies?
12:04:10 <fizzie> I can't find the Borland. :/ It was probably not in a jewel case so it's in some big pile of those.

12:10:08 <fizzie> There was even an article in one of the Finnish magazines.
12:10:13 <itidus21> thats probably why this cd got taken.. cos it had dance ejay on it
12:10:34 <fizzie> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endorfun -- Wikipedia remembers it too, but not the "controversy", really.
12:10:37 <oerjan> elliott: imagine if you had gone with the tennis instead of the computers
12:10:48 <fizzie> They were all "computer DRUGS oh no" about it.
12:10:59 <fizzie> It wasn't exactly fun to play, I think.
12:11:59 <fizzie> And there's "Klik & Play", the precursor of "Klik & Create", I think.
12:13:32 <oerjan> in this world, elliott does computers, and the world gets destroyed by his evil AI. in that other world, elliott does tennis, and the defenseless world is destroyed by invading aliens.
12:13:44 <oerjan> or maybe he beats them with a megaracket.
12:14:19 <elliott> That reminds me of that comic.
12:15:57 <fizzie> olsner: Oh, I ended up doing what you suggested, an in-browser gcolor that just doesn't bother about sharing the results.

14:01:33 <elliott> fizzie: Please explain yourselves, Finland.
14:05:02 <fizzie> There was some sort of an issue about Hevisaurus, something related to the record label company, I think they lost their case quasi-recently.
14:05:22 <fizzie> "In early 2011, the founder of the band, Mirka Rantanen, got into a disagreement with the band's record label Sony Music. Because of this, Rantanen and three other band members belonging to the band's live assembly founded a new band called Sauruxet, which has continued making children's power metal music with the original concept and nearly identical artist names. The band Hevisaurus keeps ...
14:05:28 <fizzie> ... its lead singer, its producers and the original stage costumes."
14:05:34 <fizzie> Something about the newer band not being able to use the old characters.
14:05:52 <fizzie> Anyway I'm not sure what's there to explain.
14:06:03 <elliott> It's not a real metal story until someone gets killed.
14:06:08 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: Tinisaurus).
14:06:33 <elliott> Also, the thing to explain would be why your children's bands are metal-playing dinosaurs.
14:06:49 <fizzie> Dinosaurs are heavy, aren't they?
14:07:21 <fizzie> "The usual heavy metal fan may not be a five-year-old girl in pigtails, but she is typical of hardcore following of Hevisaurus, a metal band that has hooked the kiddie crowd in Finland.
14:07:25 <fizzie> The group, which rocks on about homework and monsters, played its first gig, a charity event, only last September but its fan base of mainly five-to-seven-year-olds has grown rapidly."
14:08:26 <elliott> It all started a few years ago when Rantanen attended a children's concert with his own kids, now five and 11.
14:08:26 <elliott> "What if I started making music for kids?" he thought. "What if it was heavy metal, since that's what I've been doing for 25 years?"
14:08:34 <elliott> I see not much thought went into this thing.
14:10:01 <fizzie> "“I’m a kind of 1980s relic. You could call me a dinosaur,” said Rantanen, now better known as an Apatosaurus called Komppi Momppi."
14:10:41 <fizzie> "“It’s the best because it’s heavy,” said five-year-old Rico, who attended a packed concert in the southern city of Haemeenlinna wearing a Hevisaurus sweater and hat, and waving a Hevisaurus flag made by his dad."
14:10:47 <fizzie> Well, I think that makes sense.
14:11:39 <elliott> I admit, the logic is impeccable.
14:14:59 <tswett> Before reading the context, I thought the quote about Rantanen was a joke.
14:15:17 <tswett> Like, he says, "Oh, I'm really old, you could call me a dinosaur," and so suddenly everyone does.

17:30:37 <elliott> (9) More I've surely forgotten.
17:31:37 <elliott> Oh yeah, (10) Unsafe/difficult-to-use/error-prone/ugly macro system
17:32:10 <mroman> Although Haskell has Template Haskell.
17:32:14 <elliott> (11) LOOP and FORMAT, 'nuff said.
17:32:23 <mroman> Which is kinda not-understandable at all.
17:32:31 <elliott> Template Haskell isn't all that difficult.
17:33:04 <Sgeo> Anyways, I'm just doing Haskell stuff until a certain date
17:33:12 <elliott> What happens after that date?
17:33:17 <Sgeo> I'm still preferring Common Lisp, but this project only makes sense in Haskell.
17:33:23 <elliott> fizzie: You forgot a mapostrophe.
17:33:30 <Sgeo> elliott, the deadline for this project to make any sense passes.
17:33:34 <Sgeo> At least for a year.
17:33:38 <elliott> Sgeo: You forgot the part where Common Lisp is inferior to Haskell in basically every conceivable way.
17:33:40 <mroman> And I might not understand the type magic behind it ;)
17:33:51 <mroman> As I know nothing about type theory.
17:34:14 <elliott> mroman: Template Haskell has exactly 0 type magic.
17:34:22 <elliott> It practically has negative amounts of type theory.
17:34:25 <elliott> It doesn't even type its splices.
17:34:53 <Sgeo> Crud, if I suggest NoImplicitPrelude, I'm going to need to export a lot of stuff from the Prelude
17:34:58 <Sgeo> Like ($) and (+)
17:35:11 <elliott> Dare I ask what this project is?
17:35:42 <Sgeo> An April Fools Haskell tutorial
17:35:57 <elliott> See, I knew I would regret asking.
17:39:13 <Sgeo> Hmm. Variables, variables, variables. How to do variables.
17:39:41 <Sgeo> Does every non-referentially-transparent function need NOINLINE?
17:39:57 <Sgeo> I'm guessing so. Can I have an entire file be assumed to have NOINLINE everywhere?
17:40:22 <elliott> I don't see why it would need NOINLINE. Or conversely, what the hell you think NOINLINE will prevent.
17:41:02 <Sgeo> The IO being executed too early?
17:41:57 <Sgeo> If I have a unsafeCurrentTime :: UTCTIme, does that need to be noinlined if I want every place that it's used to see the current time and not the time that it was when ... bluh
17:42:54 <elliott> Sgeo: You can't do that, fulls top.
17:43:11 <elliott> It will be evaluated once and replaced by its value.
17:44:35 * Sgeo looks for an option to disable that
17:44:45 <elliott> That's how GHC works, fundamentally.
17:44:50 <elliott> That's how the entire evaluation model works.
17:44:51 <mroman> Shouldn't IO prevent that?
17:45:13 <Sgeo> mroman, my entire goal is to be stupid in Haskell.
17:45:29 <mroman> although the question would be
17:45:44 <mroman> why :: UTCTime behaves differently than :: IO UTCTime
17:46:44 <Sgeo> I don't want to use the IO monad, that's cheating.
17:47:14 <elliott> mroman: Because IO a is State# RealWorld -> (# a, State# RealWorld #).
17:47:56 <mroman> That makes sense then.
17:48:53 <mroman> foobar :: Int -> IO Int
17:49:09 <mroman> actually foobar MUST yield the same result everytime, when called with the same argument.
17:49:32 <elliott> The (->) in that IO definition is the arrow of impure functions.
17:49:36 <elliott> And State# isn't really anything at all.
17:49:42 <elliott> It's all a big con to fool the compiler internals.
17:50:57 <elliott> It means what it means: the (->) being used in that definition of IO allows impure side-effects.
17:52:26 <mroman> But IO is just a Type?
17:53:37 <mroman> And I call it twice with the same argument
17:53:37 <elliott> This is all about black magic implementation details. As far as Haskell is concerned, IO has no definition.
17:53:45 <elliott> GHC breaks the rules to define IO.
17:53:54 <mroman> It should only be evaluated once.
17:54:03 <elliott> No Haskell compiler does automatic memoisation.
17:54:06 <elliott> That's a one-way ticket to space leaks.
17:54:19 <elliott> (And slowness, for that matter.)
17:54:42 <mroman> do { a <- foobar 1; b <- foobar 1; return (a,b); }
17:54:50 <mroman> => do { a <- foobar 1; return (a,a); }
17:55:02 <elliott> That's complete and utter nonsense.
17:55:15 <elliott> do { a <- print 1; b <- print 1; return (a, b) }
17:55:20 <elliott> => do { a <- print 1; return (a, a) }
17:55:57 <elliott> print 1 >> print 1 >> return (a,b)
17:56:10 <mroman> Referential transparency should allow that to happen?
17:56:20 <elliott> any more than 1+1 must equal 1
17:56:26 <elliott> x >> x does not necessarily equal x
17:58:21 <mroman> But why should it bother to evaluate x twice?
17:58:32 <mroman> You already know the result of x based on the result of the first.
17:59:03 <elliott> You are mistaking monadic execution with evaluation.
17:59:29 <elliott> Why would it evaluate [1,2,3] twice? Well, whether it does or it doesn't, it's irrelevant.
17:59:38 <elliott> (>>) is just a function like any other, and it gets passed through the same.
18:00:27 <Sgeo> mroman, print 1 can be evaluated as many times as you like. When evaulated, it doesn't print anything. It just becomes a value saying "When I'm executed, print 1"
18:03:17 <elliott> Not best, it's slightly inaccurate.
18:04:12 <elliott> It doesn't "become" a value.
18:04:47 <elliott> You can say it evaluates to an action saying "On execution, print 1", but that seems unnecessarily operational to me.
18:04:55 <elliott> "It is an action saying 'On execution, print 1'" conveys the exact same.
18:05:48 <Sgeo> elliott, except that that fails to mention the role that evaluation plays, in terms of not being execution
18:06:22 <elliott> Well, the role that evaluation plays is precisely nothing.
18:06:33 <Sgeo> elliott, yes, and that needs to be clarified.
