02:20:04 <zzo38> Some list operations already have polymorphic versions, such as fmap for map, join for concat, (>>=) for concatMap, etc. filter can be generalized to any MonadPlus, sequence to any Applicative, iterate and replicate and so on to any Alternative, and possibly intersperse to any MonadLogic.
02:22:53 <elliott> how can you write filter for any MonadPlus
02:23:35 <lambdabot> Local time for elliott is Fri Mar 30 03:23:36
02:23:59 <zzo38> filter f = (>>= \x -> bool mzero (return x) (f x));

06:04:36 <zzo38> What is your opinions about scientifically-based philosophy?
06:07:06 <zzo38> Do you think computer science is mathematics and not science?
06:08:02 <pikhq> Well, of course CS is math, not science, except in the archaic sense where science = "field of study".
06:08:41 <pikhq> "Science" suggests a form of study based in empiricism. And of course, that's not what CS does.
06:09:00 <zzo38> I agree with you; "science" suggests a form of study based in empiricism.
06:09:01 <pikhq> All about the formalisms and arguing from axioms.
06:12:02 <pikhq> And of course one should have scientifically-based philosophy. Why make your philosophical discussions be based on intentionally *not* looking deeply at the world around us, as per the ancient Greeks?
06:14:14 <pikhq> Down that road leads philosophy indistinguishable from randomly generated syntactically valid statements.
06:16:57 <zzo38> Probably the reason to be not scientifically-based is there isn't any science for it to be based. But of course philosophy can be scientifically-based in generally good things too. (However, one example of scientifically-based philosophy what I mean, is such as quantum immortality and so on; but there are other examples)
06:18:23 <pikhq> Consider such things as dualism. Near as I can tell, dualism comes out to being semantically void, or contradicting scientific knowledge.
06:18:35 <pikhq> And yet, it's still quite discussed.
06:20:42 -!- oerjan has joined.
06:22:41 <zzo38> Yes that is one thing which is non-scientifically-based philosophy. However, I do not consider it to contradict scientific knowledge; but scientific knowledge cannot support it either. Many of the forms of dualism do contradict science, however.

06:43:23 <quintopia> zzo38: i frequently write computer programs for the purpose of performing numerical experiments
06:43:49 <quintopia> zzo38: sometimes the experiment is done with the goal of determining the properties of some algorithm
06:43:59 <quintopia> thus, it is empirical computer science

06:45:08 <quintopia> zzo38: yes i do that also. more often, though, the problem is too large or hard to do on paper.

17:00:10 <nortti> what about language based of XOR:ing it's own source code?
17:01:12 <Taneb> Could be interesting
17:03:59 <Taneb> Perhaps with an accumulator that can be incremented or reset, and a method for duplicating its own source a la Dupdog
17:07:19 <Taneb> I've decided to think about Dupdog differently
17:07:58 <Taneb> It's like a machine with a list of instructions and an accumulator
17:08:12 <Taneb> The accumulator is initialized to a particular value
17:08:22 <Taneb> (the initial length of the program)
17:08:32 <Taneb> And damn, I haven't dealt with reversing

18:28:51 <elliott> Thank God for Objectivism.
18:37:58 <RocketJSquirrel> nortti: For example, the US constitution does not recognize marriage between two corporations of the same sex, or more than two corporations of any sex.
18:38:46 <nortti> how is sex of corporation determined?
18:41:52 <nortti> how exactly is is determined genetically? I didn't know that corporations had a genome
18:45:02 <RocketJSquirrel> You didn't? I mean, it's not enormously complicated, if they have two Z chromosomes then they're male, if they have a Z and W chromosome then they're female.
18:45:16 <RocketJSquirrel> Genetic anomalies which don't fit these norms are treated on a case-by-case basis.

19:08:07 <elliott> alvur: Did he make the integers?
19:08:10 <elliott> Is all else the work of man?

19:12:34 <oklopol> assuming you meant me by alvur
19:12:56 <elliott> This is the second time alvur has self-pinged.
19:13:00 <elliott> Isn't that, you know, sinful?
19:14:09 <oklopol> he also pinged a fellow male.
19:15:03 <elliott> Are you saying he's a paedophile?
19:15:29 <oklopol> well what else could i be saying
19:16:22 <elliott> fizzie: Anyhow, I pinged you about another NSQX "incident".
19:16:26 <fizzie> oklopol: You're all Turussa.
19:16:29 <fizzie> elliott: Yes, I noted.
19:16:35 <elliott> I think it's resolved now. Though I am happy for opinions on my resolution all the same.
19:16:36 <fizzie> elliott: Your language was "taken".
19:16:59 <elliott> fizzie: Well, I don't care about that.
19:17:09 <elliott> fizzie: It was an abandoned WIP with no content.
19:17:16 <elliott> fizzie: But he decided to run a broken, unauthorised bot on the page.
19:17:24 <fizzie> Yes, I noticed that too.
19:17:28 <elliott> Also one that used "Wikipedia python library" for every edit summary.
19:18:16 <elliott> i found this out with esoteric magics
19:18:22 <alvur> oklopol, I'm from Tyumen, Russia

19:18:45 <elliott> <fizzie> oklopol: You're all Turussa. <fizzie> oklopol: You're such a turussa.
19:18:52 <elliott> Is oklopol a turussa, fizzie?

19:18:56 <oklopol> well the whois text is very dim, i just saw "paris" somewhere in there
19:19:07 <fizzie> elliott: Did I say the first one too? I thought I didn't.
19:19:16 <elliott> alvur: Yes, my magics told me.
19:19:18 <nortti> fizzie: that's because I connect using irc.cc.tut.fi
19:19:18 <fizzie> elliott: You must've used your psychic powers to make me say that.
19:19:21 <oklopol> fizzie: is the joke that people from turku are stupid?
19:19:33 <fizzie> oklopol: The joke seems to be on me now. :/

19:21:59 <elliott> alvur: you realise that doesn't show up as russian for us
19:22:06 <elliott> nortti: that's what some popular russian encoding looks like
19:22:58 <alvur> elliott, cp1251 code page
19:23:19 <fizzie> охуели ребята, you mean.
19:23:20 <elliott> oerjan: hi, alvur thinks we're gay magicians
19:23:34 <elliott> also, have fun with recent changes today.
19:23:46 <elliott> (i mean we are gay magicians, but.
19:23:51 <nortti> does someone who isn't insane still use cp1251?
19:24:12 <pikhq> No. UTF-8 is the only permissible encoding.

19:26:45 <nortti> alvur: you wrote "only ãåà-8"
19:27:07 <elliott> ãåà-8 is the best encoding
19:27:54 <fizzie> Only ãåà-8.
19:28:06 <alvur> elliott, no no no! ANSII is the best
19:28:07 <elliott> A tilde, a ring, a grave. Minus eight.
19:28:10 <nortti> alvur: I would want to make you talk to my satanist schoolmate, but unfortunately she chats only on IRCNet
19:28:30 <elliott> IRCNet, more like IRsucksNet.
19:28:41 <fizzie> elliott: It's like a life story. The ring is marriage, the grave is death. I don't know what the tilde represents.
19:28:47 <elliott> fizzie: It represents a tilde.
19:29:00 <elliott> I mean, ~ looks kinda like a sperm.
19:29:12 <oerjan> a tilde, a ring, a grave sounds like some esoteric incantation
19:29:15 <fizzie> Well, that's very concise.
19:29:17 <elliott> Speaking of sperm, is there anyone unambiguously gay around we could use to taunt alvur with?

19:29:57 <fizzie> I'm not sure if that was unambiguous.
19:30:03 <nortti> elliott: what is wrong with IRCNet?
19:30:14 <elliott> nortti: It has even more Finns than #esoteric.

19:32:54 <elliott> Oh. I thought you meant similar to "sperm".
19:32:58 <elliott> I was all, "Slereah" is nothing like "sperm".

19:38:07 <oklopol> i told you my religion already
19:38:30 <oklopol> and i'm not gay, i'm not anything yet
19:39:05 <Phantom_Hoover> elliott, um no, it just so happens that everyone interested in esolangs is also a gay magician.

20:03:16 <fizzie> That *must* be some sort of a troll thing, right?
20:05:06 <oklopol> can you calculate how ...populationwise proportionately each country is represented here?
20:05:14 <elliott> fizzie: Yes, come on already.
20:05:17 <fizzie> oklopol: Based on population numbers, I think we should have 0.0472 Finns.
20:05:18 <alvur> oklopol, what time is it now in Suomi?
20:05:38 <fizzie> oklopol: At least that's what W|A outputs if you write in "(population of finland)/(population of the world)*60".
20:06:15 <fizzie> (Also you'll get a rather funny-looking graph about Finland's relative populationness from 1800 to 2009.)
20:06:29 <oklopol> yeah but like, for each country that appears here, how many times too many people we have here
20:06:46 <fizzie> Things were going well for us up until about 1917, and after that we've gone downhill. Coincidentally, that was when we gained our independence.
20:07:03 <oerjan> or too few. we _did_ have a chinese come by the other day.

20:08:24 <fizzie> I think the more pertinent question would be why e thinks that's his first name, if it were a serious comment.
20:08:31 <oklopol> alvur: do you believe in the variational principle
20:08:35 <alvur> until 1917 Finnland was a part of Russia. You should speak russian like your native language.
20:08:39 * elliott also mumbles something about the incredibly high standard for getting kicked here.
20:09:13 <oerjan> so a country should have at least 116 million people to be both present and underrepresented here
20:09:28 <fizzie> elliott: It would diminish your achievements if just about anyone could get kicked.

20:10:43 <fizzie> I see there are differing opinions.
20:10:58 <oklopol> alvur: then again i suppose you know people who believe in god
20:11:02 <pikhq_> alvur: It's also irrelevant.
20:11:02 <elliott> pikhq_: There's enough people feeding him.

20:12:35 <tswett> I politely request that I not be kicked.
20:13:05 <fizzie> tswett: I think it's opt-in, not opt-out.
20:13:13 <tswett> However, I request that Gregor be kicked for his apparent absence.
20:13:16 <nortti> alvur: did you like it. I think it was bit less stable than windows and that is something
20:13:19 <alvur> the who uses Linux looks like sectarians
20:13:46 <oklofok> nortti: i have windows 7 and it has crashed about 0 times.
20:13:46 -!- oerjan has kicked alvur alvur.
20:13:46 -!- alvur has joined.
20:14:09 <oerjan> sheesh, why does only elliott have the politeness to stay out
20:14:47 <fizzie> oerjan: There are channels where rejoining in less than five seconds or so converts a kick to a ban.
20:14:56 <nortti> oklofok: On our school Windows 7 crashes very frequently
20:14:57 <alvur> nortti, I think when Reactos will be stable, 32-bit OS won't be used
20:15:41 -!- pikhq has joined.
20:15:46 <oklofok> the only problem is any option you might wanna touch is in control panel -> stuff -> options -> advanced options -> change things -> really change things -> very advanced stuff -> printer options -> color themes -> screensaver options -> folder options -> ...
20:16:26 <oklofok> or you have to use some console command which you cannot really find documentation for.
20:16:46 <nortti> alvur: Well, I still use 16bit operating systems and less frequently even 8bit ones
20:16:55 <oklofok> windows xp which i have on my laptop on the other hand is horrible
20:17:19 <pikhq> oerjan: Srsly no kick?
20:17:20 <oklofok> i just wanna beat fistfully.
20:17:33 <alvur> nortti, do you have i286?
20:17:39 -!- oerjan has kicked pikhq By request.

20:18:05 <pikhq> oerjan: I see you don't speak English.
20:18:13 <fizzie> pikhq: There was also the kick you were referring to, while you were gone.
20:18:17 <pikhq> Oh, but alvur did get kicked.
20:18:25 <nortti> alvur: no, but I am trying to get one. I have Amigas and old Macs
20:18:27 <fizzie> In fact, you've been gone for both the kick and the kickban.
20:18:46 <oklofok> nortti has to have all of his somewhat interesting conversations in pm :(
20:19:35 <nortti> I can post logs if you weant
20:21:42 <fizzie> I can't believe a 286 box would be hard to find. We might have one somewhere in Lieksa.
20:21:43 <oklofok> what are we gonna talk about now that he's gone :(
20:21:58 <oklofok> oerjan: do you subscribe to arxiv feeds?
20:22:28 <boily> there is such a thing as arxiv feeds?
20:22:37 <fizzie> (If you just want the CPU, you can apparently buy one for 3 eur.)
20:23:08 <oklofok> boily: i mean the thing where they send you articles submitted the day before in the categories you subscribe to
20:23:31 <oklofok> they also have an rss feed
20:23:34 <boily> oklofok: already browsing them.
20:23:52 <boily> ways_of_having_no_life++;
20:24:29 <nortti> fizzie: I mean complete computer
20:24:42 <oklofok> also sent an article to dynamical systems, and wondering if the choice of category was completely wrong
20:24:54 <oerjan> oklofok: subscribe? do i look like i have the patience to read _actual_ papers any longer?
20:24:58 -!- oerjan has set channel mode: -o oerjan.
20:25:38 <nortti> I also want one that can read 1,2MB 5" floppy disks (my 5" floppy drive doesn't write 360kB floppies)
20:25:38 <fizzie> nortti: Yes, admittedly I couldn't find one from huuto.net right now. But still, there should be loads of those lying around. Ours is a complete system, and it was in working order... uh, I guess a decade or so ago when I last saw it.
20:26:02 <oklofok> oerjan: do i look like i don't have the patience to keep asking you this kind of stuff forever even though i'm fully aware of that?
20:26:37 <oklofok> i'd rather not not have that kind of patience.
20:27:00 <fizzie> nortti: You could buy a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individual_Computers_Catweasel -- from what a friend told me, it can convince just about any regular floppy drive to read quite a few floppies.
20:27:47 <fizzie> Uh, or could if they'd still be selling those, I guess.
20:28:06 <nortti> OOmfg! It supports Amiga Floppies! I must get one

20:43:48 <nortti> wasn't he also known as unabomber or am I confusing he to someone else?
20:43:56 <Phantom_Hoover> Oh, I was about to say something to elliott, but I note that oerjan is sticking fast to his policy of not kicking trolls unless he can also kick at least one productive member of the channel.
20:45:12 <fizzie> It's called "collateral damage", I think.
20:45:20 <oerjan> Phantom_Hoover: hey one of them got so crazy they had to get the russians to put him down!
20:45:24 -!- ChanServ has set channel mode: +o oerjan.
20:45:29 -!- oerjan has kicked oerjan oerjan.
20:45:45 -!- oerjan has joined.
20:46:21 <oklofok> a few years ago our department got this letter from some crazy person
20:46:27 <oklofok> i wish i remembered what it said
20:46:45 <Phantom_Hoover> fizzie, for fuck's sake, if oerjan's going to continue acting like an idiot can you use your op powers?
20:47:06 <oklofok> anyway he wished us a happy year and said he likes quantum physics. it looked like it was written by a 5yo, but apparently it wasn't the first letter from him.
20:47:08 <oerjan> oklofok: CANTOR'S PROOF IS WRONG, of course. except in finnish.
20:47:17 <Phantom_Hoover> I know you try to stay out of that kind of thing, but ais isn't really here that much.
20:47:20 <oerjan> Phantom_Hoover: wait what, is there an actual troll i've missed?
20:47:37 <oklofok> as probably literally retarded
20:48:03 <oklofok> Phantom_Hoover: elliott asked for it
20:48:51 <Phantom_Hoover> oklofok, I'm too tired to play your complex game of irony right now.
20:49:03 <fizzie> We all have our strict rules; oerjan's the kick-nado (a furious whirlpool of kicks), while mine is "ruminate on things until they cease to be a problem". (It's hard to say which one is worse.)
20:49:43 <oklofok> Phantom_Hoover: okay we can try again tomorrow
20:49:52 <Phantom_Hoover> The thing is that oerjan normally ruminates on things until they cease to be a problem until you actually try to get him to do something at which point he acts as passive-aggressively as he can.
20:49:54 <oerjan> oh it was about that elliott hasn't joined again?
20:50:04 <nortti> Am I really only one who likes ed editor?
20:50:06 -!- monqy has joined.
20:50:33 <fizzie> ed! it's the standard editor.
20:50:35 <oklofok> nortti: well i like the drink
20:51:10 <oerjan> Phantom_Hoover: hey i just couldn't resist misinterpreting elliott for a cheap joke. otherwise i would probably have continued ruminating.
20:51:39 <nortti> I have written a multitasking operating system with it
20:52:02 <oerjan> Phantom_Hoover: i see.
20:52:05 <Phantom_Hoover> Cheap jokes once in a while are fine, but you do it /in lieu of actually doing any of the duties expected of an op/.
20:52:25 <oklofok> Phantom_Hoover is scary :(
20:53:03 <oklofok> a very SERIOUS gay vampire!
20:53:04 <oerjan> Phantom_Hoover: it wasn't in lieu. if i hadn't joked, i would simply have waited further until alvur had said something more kickworthy.
20:54:47 <oerjan> in fact i'm not convinced he said anything such between me opping myself and finally banning him.
20:56:04 <oklofok> fizzie: soooooooo, how about that graph showing how well countries are represented.
20:56:36 <fizzie> oklofok: Is that just a cheap attempt to change the topic, or are you actually expecting me to do something? (Because I'm not.)
20:56:48 <Phantom_Hoover> oerjan, where the /hell/ do you draw the line for kickworthiness?
20:57:12 <oklofok> i don't think poor anvil even disrupted the channel really
20:57:32 <Phantom_Hoover> I've yet to see you actually kick someone worthy of it without being repeatedly asked.
20:58:25 <fizzie> Phantom_Hoover: Possibly he doesn't consider talking about ReactOS kickworthy? I mean, that's about all alvur said after oerjan's +o; that, and the bit about "looks like sectarians", which IMO was mostly just confusing.
20:58:53 <oerjan> Phantom_Hoover: which means i have a rather different opinion than the trigger-happy people here about what _is_ worthy of a kick. which may very well be one reason fizzie made me an op in the first place.
20:59:46 <Phantom_Hoover> I mean really, you're saying you're going to warn someone after that?
21:00:28 <oerjan> Phantom_Hoover: that all happened before i opped myself. that was intended as a final warning. ... i wrote that before your last line so i guess it would be hypocritical not to press return.
21:00:39 <fizzie> Yes, I think I would. Not that I'd have high hopes the warning would do much good.
21:00:41 <oklofok> fizzie: if you make me an op, i promise to only kickban people if they suck at math
21:00:56 <fizzie> oklofok: I don't think we want to be a mathist channel. :/
21:01:12 <fizzie> (Also I'd get kickbanned.)
21:02:13 <oerjan> ...it would be slightly easier not to turn op actions into a joke if people didn't joke about it much more often that it is actually needed...
21:02:55 <Phantom_Hoover> oerjan, the reason people joke about it is because you're such a complete idiot about it.
21:03:26 <Phantom_Hoover> Also, even /if/ opping yourself was the final warning, why did you only kick him?
21:03:49 <oerjan> ...ok that was part of the stupid joke. i got carried away by that point.
21:04:22 <fizzie> Anyway, I don't think he said anything especially awful (or especially anything) after the "warning", even if the warning part was rather implied.
21:05:02 <oerjan> ...which makes me rather confused when people continue to say they're /ignoring him during that time.
21:05:43 <Phantom_Hoover> He shifted his trolling a little more towards the "actually an idiot" side.
21:05:50 <oerjan> like, is there some subtext which is obvious to everyone _but_ me?
21:06:07 <Phantom_Hoover> While it wasn't bannable in itself, in context it was clearly just trying to keep a slightly lower profile.
21:06:45 <Phantom_Hoover> oerjan, pikhq ignored him, presumably because he knew this would happen.
21:10:45 <fizzie> I really can't construe the ReactOS/i286 stuff as obvious trolling. I mean, I wouldn't be very surprised if it turned out he actually had tried it out; it's such a weird thing to single out, otherwise. The Linux/sectarian bit, maybe.
21:12:49 <Phantom_Hoover> That you said some non-trolling things does not stop you from being a troll.

21:48:04 <oklopol> no that's what i assumed you meant
21:51:19 <elliott> Then I don't understand the confusion.
21:51:31 <oklopol> well really my question is valid for any meaning of sockpuppet.
21:52:30 <oklopol> well i suppose by "we're sockpuppets", you could just mean that you are in a sockpuppety relation
21:52:34 <oklopol> then everything would make sense
21:52:44 <oklopol> elliott: "so wait you and ph are both sockpuppets and you are also the same sockpuppet?"
21:53:36 <elliott> I mean that Phantom_Hoover is me.
21:53:50 <oklopol> it is a significantly stupider question when sockpuppet means something that makes identity questions complicated. which was why i asked.
21:54:54 <oklopol> ph is marginally better at math, otherwise i'd believe that
21:55:06 <oklopol> that's really the only thing i care about in a person
21:55:29 <oklopol> and also the color of their nick
21:55:51 <oklopol> yours is a manly shade of pink.
21:56:09 <elliott> I was making a reference probably only two regulars here know the details of, so it does not really matter.
21:57:40 <oklopol> well aren't you being an elliotist.
21:58:16 <oklopol> that would work way better if your name was eliot
21:58:55 <oklopol> is there a story behind those beautiful geminates of yours?
22:00:50 <oklopol> i think oerjan kicked you too hard
22:01:33 <oklopol> but yeah did you ever ask your parents
22:02:28 <elliott> I was named without regard to the number of ls or ts.
22:03:18 <oklopol> my parents are very conservative about the number of repetitions of consonants.
22:03:24 <elliott> After I was born my mother reportedly replied "all of them" to whoever was asking how many ls and ts there are.
22:03:35 <elliott> So now I have all of them.
22:03:39 <oklopol> oh thank god you're still elliott
22:04:05 <oklopol> i thought you might have gotten some sort of brain injury from the kick
22:04:26 <oklopol> in sami, which is spoken somewhere here in finland
22:04:30 <oklopol> there are triple geminates
22:05:17 <oklopol> three different lengths that actually carry meaning.
