00:00:35 <Sgeo> Does PH know I made a BF derivative?
00:00:39 * Sgeo is scared
00:01:06 <elliott> Sgeo with all due respect i think phs opinion on the matter would be that nothing needs to be done to complete the brainbricking procedure
00:01:24 <calamari> here's mine http://esolangs.org/wiki/BitChanger

00:04:34 <elliott> do we know whether Urban knew about P''?
00:07:56 <RocketJSquirrel> elliott: No, but I refuse to believe that he did.
00:08:17 <elliott> here's an email i sent to B Nomic once http://sprunge.us/UXbU
00:09:07 <elliott> I think that was after "if you're obligated to twiddle some state it gets automatically twiddled" or something was introduced

00:10:17 <monqy> me too
00:10:21 -!- MoALTz__ has joined.
00:10:29 <elliott> it's a BF program
00:10:56 <calamari> Sgeo: I never actually used BitChanger for anything .. and it predates PSOX, because I created EsoAPI in 2005 and PSOX was inspired by EsoAPI

00:12:10 <monqy> has anyone used psox for anything
00:13:38 <calamari> I don't know.. I made EsoAPI because I needed something for bos
00:13:55 <Sgeo> monqy, there's the wget.b that pikhq wrote
00:14:02 <Sgeo> Does that count as using it for anything?

00:40:03 <kmc> how about just a pamphlet listing the haskell inside jokes
00:40:09 <kmc> so you can be in the #haskell cool kidz klub
00:43:57 <shachaf> kmc: I expect there are more #haskell inside jokes than there are actual things to learn about Haskell.
00:44:07 <shachaf> So such a book would probably be longer than a real Haskell book.
00:44:28 <elliott> I don't think there's much variety.

02:15:26 <elliott> EVEN I KNOW THAT. AND I USE COMMODORE 64S
02:15:35 <oerjan> shachaf: you were the closest lambdabot admin
02:15:43 <shachaf> oerjan: I'm not a lambdabot admin. :-(
02:15:46 <shachaf> I wasn't even online.
02:15:51 <shachaf> I don't think kmc is a lambdabot admin either.
02:15:57 <shachaf> elliott, however...
02:16:04 <elliott> HEY, I EVEN PLEADED GUILTY!
02:16:08 <elliott> OERJAN JUST REALLY LIKES SWATTING YOU.
02:16:19 <oerjan> I REFUSE TO BELIEVE ELLIOTT IS AN ADMIN AND YOU AREN'T
02:16:27 <elliott> CALE MADE ME AN ADMIN
02:16:34 <elliott> BECAUSE I ASKED AS A JOKE
02:16:43 <shachaf> oerjan: The trick elliott used to becoming a lambdabot admin was along the lines of "Cale, make me an admin!"
02:16:45 <elliott> SHACHAF IS AN ADMIN ONLY BECAUSE HE LOGS IN WITH THE NICK OF REAL ADMINS TO @ADMIN + HIMSELF
02:17:08 <shachaf> elliott: HEY, YOU DON'T KNOW WHICH OF LAMBDABOT'S MANY SECURITY FLAWS I'M USING!
02:17:09 <elliott> SHACHAF: ACTUALLY, SOMEONE ASKED ME WHY I WASN'T A LAMBDABOT ADMIN, AND I SAID "GOOD QUESTION! CALE, WHY AREN'T I A LAMBDABOT ADMIN?"
02:17:12 <elliott> AND THEN I WAS LAMBDABOT ADMIN
02:17:36 <kmc> irssi only highlights "^kmc[:,]" and not "kmc"?

02:17:42 <shachaf> kmc: Yep.
02:17:50 <kmc> :(
02:17:51 <shachaf> kmc: You can tell it to highlight "kmc", though.

02:18:03 <kmc> how shachaf? i looked for at least 15 seconds and couldn't find

02:37:13 <elliott> let's make it easy let's say mars
02:37:40 <ion> shachaf: It shouldn’t use a lot of resources after the initial indexing. And it should use the lowest priority in any case.

02:39:36 <shachaf> ion: Also, why do I randomly get pseudo-disconnected from the wireless network?

02:41:07 <pikhq_> elliott: Half-hour latency remains a *bitch*.
02:42:23 <shachaf> I just came up with yet another argument against the cat-haters!
02:42:39 <shachaf> The people who say you should do "foo < file" or "foo file" instead of "cat file | foo".
02:42:49 <shachaf> Who are, by the way, wrong.
02:43:08 <shachaf> The other argument is sudo cat file | less, instead of sudo less file.

02:45:16 <ion> TIL: this less doesn’t come from GNU.
02:45:30 <pikhq_> Oh, crap, less is also GNU.
02:45:47 <ion> It is?
02:46:11 <shachaf> Today, ion and pikhq_ exchanged knowledge.
02:46:17 <pikhq_> No, wait, it's not.
02:46:18 <shachaf> In the linear sense.
02:46:30 <pikhq_> It sure as hell isn't.
02:46:35 <ion> Interesting. Mine comes from <http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/> but there seems to be <http://www.gnu.org/software/less/> as well.
02:46:40 <shachaf> What's avahi? :-(
02:46:44 <shachaf> I don't like all these things.
02:46:53 <shachaf> How do I unthing my computer. :-(
02:46:56 <pikhq_> The man page says "less is part of the GNU project and is free software.", but it is not © FSF.
02:47:02 <pikhq_> Ergo it is not GNU.
02:48:02 <elliott> My less cometh from whence the ion disclosed alsowards.
02:48:04 <pikhq_> I'm going with "confusing".
02:48:08 <ion> shachaf: Avahi is a Good Thing™. The problem is the “No DHCPOFFERS received” part.
02:48:10 <elliott> less dates back to 1984?
02:48:21 <shachaf> ion: Right. But why?
02:48:32 <pikhq_> Hmm. /bin/cat is 52k, /bin/less is 148k.
02:48:36 <elliott> ion: avahi is Poetteringware. Are you *sure* it's a Good Thing?
02:48:39 <shachaf> Also, does that mean that the lease expired? Why can't it just stick with the old IP until it gets a new one?
02:48:40 <elliott> I don't think Poetteringware can be a Good Thing.
02:48:43 <oerjan> <shachaf> In the linear sense. <-- you mean the original knowledge was destroyed?
02:48:50 <shachaf> oerjan: Right.
02:49:37 <pikhq_> Avahi implements Zeroconf.
02:50:03 <ion> shachaf: When there is no DHCP server it’s probably invalid behavior to keep an address some previously existing DHCP server happened to give to you for a period.
02:50:25 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: Hi, Ave).
02:51:19 <shachaf> ion: Are you saying the problem might maybe be with the server?
02:51:22 <shachaf> I'm suspicious.
02:52:19 <ion> All i know is that your DHCP queries don’t make it to the server OR the DHCP responses don’t make it to your client. You’ll need to investigate more.
02:52:37 <elliott> ion answers shachaf's questions but not mine. :'(
02:52:50 <ion> Is the cable working? Do any other computers have the same problem? Anything interesting in /var/log/syslog on the server?
02:52:53 <shachaf> ion: When I reconnect to the wireless network from scratch, it always works.
02:53:09 <shachaf> I'm at a public place, so I don't really know about other computers. But I doubt it.
02:53:15 <ion> shachaf: A wireless driver problem perhaps.
02:53:34 <shachaf> Maybe.
02:53:40 <shachaf> I recently ran a dist-upgrade.
02:53:52 <shachaf> I mean just a regular upgrade.
02:53:57 <shachaf> The dist- was out of habit.
02:53:59 <shachaf> Well, I ran it a while ago, but I rebooted for the first time since then.
02:54:37 * elliott always does dist-upgrade, too.

04:47:47 <Sato0x> I put it on the wiki

04:53:50 <Sato0x> :(
04:53:55 <Sato0x> you're mean
04:54:29 <quintopia> yes i am being overly honest without concern for your feelings
04:54:42 <Sato0x> nou
04:55:00 <Sato0x> you intend to offend me without regard to the subject
04:55:11 <quintopia> however, you should know that the esolang community is to particular languages what the planet earth is to individual humans
04:55:40 <quintopia> it doesnt care unless its interesting enough to achieve celebrity status
04:56:14 <quintopia> and you should not expect anyone to have seen your language just because you posted it on the wiki
04:56:40 <quintopia> what does it take for a language to achieve celebrity status?
04:57:01 <quintopia> it has to probe some heretofore unexplored aspect of the design space
04:57:41 <quintopia> what is your preferred language to program in?
04:58:09 <Sato0x> perl and php
04:58:23 <Sato0x> mainly php since I usually do web dev
04:58:31 <quintopia> aha
04:58:35 <Sato0x> in php,
04:58:44 <Sato0x> though I wrote an interpreter in perl and php
04:58:56 <quintopia> what languages have you played with in the past besides those?
04:59:08 <Sato0x> I'm trying to learn c++ right now
04:59:16 <Sato0x> I've read a fair bit about asm
04:59:29 <quintopia> you are not branching out enough
04:59:34 <Sato0x> hm
04:59:48 <quintopia> you have your whole life ahead of you!
04:59:51 <quintopia> see the world!

05:02:41 <kmc> no they are not opinions
05:02:45 <kmc> it is a massive list of technical facts
05:02:50 <elliott> is someone defending php
05:02:51 <Sato0x> Opinions
05:02:55 <elliott> *is someone defending php and still in this channel
05:02:55 <coppro> can someone give me ops for a moment?
05:02:57 <coppro> I have justice to do

05:03:59 <coppro> several of whom are never seen
05:04:01 <elliott> only three active ops.
05:04:05 <quintopia> elliott: Sato0x made a cross between befunge and brainfuck and came in here asking "have you seen my new language?!?"
05:04:13 <coppro> dammit :(
05:04:17 <kmc> Sato0x: if I tried to build a house by hammering the nails in with my own forehead
05:04:23 <elliott> quintopia: i don't mind that! i mind defending php though
05:04:23 <kmc> it would be your "opinion" that i'm doin it rong
05:04:24 <kmc> yes?
05:04:33 <quintopia> so i said he should branch out from the imperative/procedural languages he came from
05:04:34 <elliott> how long has this been going on btw
05:04:40 <elliott> i get the feeling: a while
05:04:41 <shachaf> elliott: Since 2001.
05:04:42 <Sato0x> Depends, did the house end up being built?
05:04:43 <coppro> I need to /invite someone :(
05:04:51 <kmc> yes, and my brain severely damaged in the process
05:04:55 <shachaf> coppro: You need to be an op for that?
05:05:01 <kmc> this would explain why people continue to defend PHP of course
05:05:19 <shachaf> kmc, h8r
05:05:29 <coppro> yes
05:06:21 <Sato0x> php is more like a functioning electric screw driver.
05:06:26 <Sato0x> On a screw.
05:06:37 <kmc> php is more like putting nails into your dick
05:06:39 <kmc> but anyway
05:06:45 <kmc> it's hard to argue with someone who thinks PHP is good
05:07:11 <Sato0x> Indeed; they have too many valid points.
05:07:12 <kmc> just know that everyone else in the world of programming is laughing at you

05:08:12 <zzo38> PHP is not so good (JavaScript is better than PHP, but, a lot of things are better than PHP, anyways); but, a few things that PHP lacks are possible to implement anyways but not in the better way of another programming language
05:08:13 <Sato0x> there's a doc
05:08:19 <Sato0x> I think
05:08:23 <elliott> http://detain.me/articles/ no there's not
05:08:23 <qfr> JavaScript is awful, too :(
05:08:37 <qfr> === man
05:08:37 <kmc> javascript is not great but nothing compares to PHP
05:08:39 <zzo38> qfr: Well, it is better than PHP, at least.
05:08:40 <qfr> it's PHP all over again
05:08:42 <kmc> it is the blind leading the blind
05:08:42 <qfr> Perhaps
05:08:46 <Sato0x> hmm
05:09:05 <kmc> Sato0x: so did you actually read the article
05:09:07 <elliott> javascript was at least designed by someone who knows things
05:09:13 <kmc> and its literally hundreds of examples of how PHP is completely insnae
05:09:13 <Sgeo> SPL types?
05:09:16 <kmc> insane*
05:09:17 <Sgeo> Should I be scareD?
05:09:20 <Sgeo> scared
05:09:22 <elliott> saddled with bad requirements (and then tarnished by terrible API design)
05:09:22 <kmc> these are not opinions, they are facts about the language
05:09:28 <Sato0x> I'll reupload it when I get on my desktop
05:09:45 <Sato0x> opinionw
05:09:52 <shachaf> scared
05:10:06 <shachaf> Is that a UNIX daemon that shows you a screaming face at random intervals during the night?
05:10:17 <elliott> I want that daemon.
05:10:25 <zzo38> (I am refering to JavaScript without DOM, just to clarify)
05:10:27 <shachaf> You *are* that daemon.
05:10:29 <elliott> Sato0x: "=> isn’t an operator. It’s a special construct that only exists inside array(...) and the foreach construct." is this an opinion
05:10:43 <elliott> anyway
05:10:43 <Sgeo> T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM
05:10:50 <elliott> kmc: that article is way too long and bullshit
05:10:55 <shachaf> Sgeo: AND WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT????
05:11:00 <elliott> the only thing anyone needs to know about PHP is http://catseye.tc/about/php.html
05:11:05 <kmc> the problem with PHP is that anyone halfway competent gives up on it and switches to something, anything else
05:11:18 <Sato0x> fact
05:11:24 <Sato0x> I don't see how that's bad
05:11:39 <elliott> `addquote <kmc> the problem with PHP is that anyone halfway competent gives up on it and switches to something, anything else <Sato0x> fact <Sato0x> I don't see how that's bad

05:11:53 <monqy> are you really bothering arguing with someone who thinks php is good
05:11:55 <shachaf> hi monqy
05:11:56 <monqy> oh no
05:11:56 <elliott> im not arguing
05:11:59 <elliott> im pointing and laughing
05:12:04 <shachaf> hi
05:12:05 <kmc> Sato0x: uh, it's bad because all PHP code and the interpreter itself is written by idiots who give bad advice?

05:12:16 <lambdabot> EQ
05:12:18 <elliott> i didnt intend for that
05:12:24 <shachaf> hi monqy
05:12:28 <elliott> kmc: he was responding to my statement i think
05:12:30 <zzo38> Well, I have written programs in PHP, and have emulated partially applied functions and so on. The FurryScript engine is written in PHP. Icoruma is written in PHP but I might rewrite it in something else. However, Internet Quiz Engine (more modern than those two programs) is written in C; it is better idea.
05:12:38 <elliott> Sato0x: "create_function is basically a wrapper around eval. It creates a function with a regular name and installs it globally (so it will never be garbage collected—don’t use in a loop!). It doesn’t actually know anything about the current scope, so it’s not a closure. The name contains a NUL byte so it can never conflict with a regular function (because PHP’s parser fails if there’s a NUL in a file anywhere)." also not an opinon
05:12:44 <elliott> Sato0x: "Declaring a function named __lambda_func will break create_function—the actual implementation is to eval-create the function named __lambda_func, then internally rename it to the broken name. If __lambda_func already exists, the first part will throw a fatal error." also not an opinion
05:12:47 <kmc> http://use.perl.org/use.perl.org/_Aristotle/journal/33448.html
05:12:53 <kmc> if (size > INT_MAX || size <= 0)
05:12:55 <zzo38> elliott: create_function is very stupid *never* use it
05:12:57 <kmc> float size;
05:13:03 <kmc> THIS IS HOW THE PHP INTERPRETER WORKS
05:13:10 <elliott> "parse_str parses a query string, with no indication of this in the name. Also it acts just like register_globals and dumps the query into your local scope as variables, unless you pass it an array to populate. (It returns nothing, of course.)" also not an opinion
05:13:18 <kmc> http://phpsadness.com/sad/47 who needs to compare the other half of your password hash, anyway?
05:13:26 <shachaf> kmc: Wow, those PHP people. "size" should be a double.
05:13:32 <kmc> srsly shachaf
05:14:07 <kmc> they wanted to check if the malloc size would overflow
05:14:19 <kmc> so they checked the int against INT_MASH
05:14:20 <zzo38> PHP does have a feature that a callback can be not only the name of a function but can also be an object together with the name of one of its methods; this can be used to emulate partially applied functions
05:14:22 <kmc> INT_MAX*
05:14:23 <elliott> INT_MASH
05:14:29 <elliott> that's the greatest constant ever
05:14:30 <kmc> frash prugin
05:14:53 <shachaf> this can be used to emulate partially applied functions, and also some other types of functions
05:15:17 <zzo38> It is one of the best features of PHP, and is still not very good. That shows you that PHP is not very good.
05:15:21 <kmc> but after they realized that comparing an int to INT_MAX is no use
05:15:24 <kmc> they changed it to a float
05:16:07 <Sato0x> I've never had to use create_function..
05:16:21 <Sato0x> none of the things stated have been problems for me
05:16:58 <kmc> i put some scorpions down my pants just now
05:17:01 <kmc> no stings yet
05:17:12 <monqy> ive been living with scorpions in my pants for ten years
05:17:17 <monqy> feels great!
05:17:17 <kmc> so i feel justified in ignoring the very long and detailed "don't put scorpions down your pants" blog article
05:17:21 <elliott> i love the stings
05:17:22 <elliott> mmmmm
05:17:27 <elliott> sting party
05:17:31 <elliott> (the sting party is ##php)
05:17:42 <elliott> (everyone just awkwardly gazing at everyone else's scrotch-scorpions)
05:17:47 <elliott> ("mine isn't stinging properly")
05:17:56 <elliott> ("oh it's glued up, let me help you")
05:18:04 <elliott> (scrotch)
05:18:07 <elliott> (i don't remember typing scrotch
05:18:08 <elliott> )
05:18:09 <zzo38> Maybe they are dead
05:18:14 <elliott> yes
05:18:16 <Sato0x> As they say
05:18:27 <zzo38> That is why they are not stinging properly
05:18:27 <Sato0x> "haters gonna hate"
05:18:29 <monqy> i nurture my scorpions daily, and replace them when they die
05:18:29 <elliott> as they say, don't put scorpions down your pants unless you can deal with the glue
05:18:33 <monqy> i give them proper burials
05:18:39 <monqy> Sato0x: who says that
05:18:49 <monqy> Sato0x: if any of my friends said that i would stop being friends with that friend
05:18:58 <Sato0x> many people,
05:19:02 <monqy> bad people
05:19:02 <Sato0x> I heard it on the radio actually
05:19:04 <elliott> once i committed genocide against an entire continent
05:19:06 <monqy> bad radio
05:19:08 <elliott> but then i told the judge
05:19:09 <Sato0x> then people from school were saying it
05:19:10 <elliott> "haters gonna hate"
05:19:12 <shachaf> monqy am i your friend :(
05:19:13 <monqy> bad people
05:19:16 <elliott> and we had a crotch scorpion sting party
05:19:19 <monqy> shachaf: do you say "haters gonna hate"
05:19:20 <shachaf> "haters gonna hate"
05:19:23 <shachaf> no
05:19:25 <shachaf> never
05:19:27 <elliott> shachaf doesn't say "haters gonna hate"
05:19:31 <elliott> he says "\"haters gonna hate\""
05:19:36 <elliott> diabolical
05:19:37 <monqy> shachaf: friend
05:19:46 <shachaf> "\"\\\"haters gonna hate \\\"\""
05:20:04 <elliott> BREAKING NEWS saxophone mathematician invents saxiom of choice
05:20:10 <elliott> *saxophonide
05:20:38 <zzo38> What is a "saxiom of choice"? Is that anything like "axiom of choice"?
05:20:47 <elliott> nothing
05:20:48 <shachaf> Very different.
05:20:49 <elliott> nothing like it
05:21:25 <Sato0x> Stubbornness will block enlightenment, but will lead to random negative remarks
05:21:42 <monqy> Sato0x wisdom, by Sato0x
05:21:44 <shachaf> kmc: Are you supposed to compare password hashes with ==, anyway?
05:21:52 <shachaf> I mean, I guess you don't have to worry about timing attacks in general.
05:22:10 <shachaf> You might still leak the first few bytes that way...
05:22:12 <kmc> shachaf: programming in PHP is easy, you just need to not make any mistakes
05:22:25 <shachaf> I mean in general, not just PHP.
05:22:50 <shachaf> The question is whether you should use a constant-time comparison function for password hashes. It's probably not a big deal.
05:23:13 <Sato0x> I hate fruit juice because a bug might have touched the fruit
05:23:16 <zzo38> You are entitled to your opinion.
05:23:23 <Sato0x> therefore I will never drink a fruit juice
05:23:30 <monqy> you're a bad person
05:23:32 <Sato0x> analogous to this situation
05:23:33 <monqy> fruit juice is good
05:23:35 <shachaf> hi monqy
05:23:37 <kmc> shachaf: if you're using PHP then timing attacks are like your last concern
05:23:38 <zzo38> You don't like a bug juice too?
05:23:40 <monqy> shachaf: friend
05:23:45 <Sato0x> I like orange juice
05:23:45 <Sato0x> :3
05:23:48 <shachaf> kmc: This isn't about PHP anymore!
05:24:00 <kmc> ok
05:24:03 <shachaf> kmc: I've made an effort to get PHP out of my head. You keep putting it back. :-(
05:24:07 <kmc> fair point then
05:24:10 <elliott> > (<?php echo "help" ?> welcome to my web page)ok
05:24:12 <lambdabot> (helpwelcome to my web page)ok
05:24:14 <elliott> look guys
05:24:17 <elliott> lambdabot can do PHP
05:24:22 <elliott> it must be a great language!!!
05:24:27 <qfr> lol.
05:24:29 <elliott> wait it has a bug
05:24:29 <monqy> !php hello
05:24:35 <shachaf> kmc: You've switched from "," to ":" as the nick-addressing character. I assume this has to do with your client switch.
05:24:39 <kmc> haskell is the cloudscale language for the post-PHP world
05:24:40 <elliott> > (<?php echo "help" ?> welcome to my web page)ok
05:24:42 <lambdabot> (help welcome to my web page)ok
05:24:43 <kmc> shachaf: yes
05:24:45 <elliott> see, now it has no bugs!
05:24:45 <shachaf> But ":" is the One True Character, so I'm glad you've seen the light.
05:24:51 <kmc> it's so much more businesslike
05:24:56 <elliott> Sato0x: i'm sorry i doubted you
05:25:10 <zzo38> I prefer using : for that purpose too but you do what you like

05:26:58 <kmc> Sato0x: great analogy bro
05:27:09 <kmc> a more appropriate analogy is
05:27:23 <kmc> "people keep telling me not to drink antifreeze, but it tastes great! haters gonna hate"
05:27:57 <Sato0x> stubborn people will try anything to put their opinions over facts
05:28:03 <Sato0x> ^you
05:28:18 <monqy> oh
05:28:22 <kmc> "here is a detailed article about how antifreeze is bad for you. OH IT'S JUST OPINIONS"
05:28:26 <elliott> i think kmc is ignoring Sato0x's wisdom
05:28:27 <elliott> and we should ban him
05:28:29 <elliott> actually
05:28:31 <elliott> better reason to ban kmc
05:28:34 <kmc> :(
05:28:36 <elliott> he puts two spaces after sentence-ending punctuation
05:28:39 <shachaf> kmc: I can tell that you miss the conversations of #haskell
05:28:40 <elliott> fucking disgusting
05:28:43 <kmc> yeah
05:28:48 <monqy> hey, I put two spaces after sentence-ending punctuation! sometimes.
05:28:53 <elliott> monqy: im watching you
05:29:00 <monqy> other times I put spaces before sentence ending punctuation !!!instead
05:29:07 <kmc> i put \r\n after sentence-ending punctuation
05:29:11 <monqy> is your stomach churned
05:29:30 <elliott> monqy: how predictable !
05:29:35 <shachaf> monqy: hi
05:29:52 <Sato0x> antifreeze is a bit different than php
05:29:52 <monqy> shachaf: friend
05:29:59 <Sato0x> -.-, but haters gonna hate
05:30:05 <Sato0x> heh, brb
05:30:11 <shachaf> NO, DON'T
05:30:15 <monqy> we need you
05:30:18 <monqy> to tell us about
05:30:22 <kmc> yes, drinking antifreeze is bad for only one person, while writing websites in PHP is a danger to society at large
05:30:25 <monqy> how antifreeze is a bitt different than php
05:30:26 <kmc> so they are quite different
05:30:30 <monqy> and how -.-, but haters gonna hate
05:30:40 <monqy> i need to know about -.-, but haters gonna hate
05:30:42 <kmc> haters gonna make som valid points
05:31:02 <shachaf> `addquote <kmc> haters gonna make som valid points

05:31:05 <HackEgo> 831) <kmc> haters gonna make som valid points
05:31:06 <zzo38> But one of the most portable programming languages is TeX. TeX is very good for typesetting and occasionally other things are done too.
05:31:16 <elliott> that quote is now (c) pfsc forever :'(
05:31:21 <elliott> quotes "the copyright violation"
05:31:24 <shachaf> Calling TeX portable is a bit funny.
05:31:25 <elliott> "the sequel"
05:31:31 <monqy> kmc, shachaf "under arest for copeyright vioplation"
05:31:37 <monqy> do not pass go
05:31:41 <monqy> do not collect $200
05:31:41 <shachaf> By the way, I can make TeX on my system segfault!
05:31:44 <elliott> vioplation is a nice word
05:31:50 <zzo38> shachaf: Really? TeX is very portable. That is, if it is true Plain TeX.
05:31:55 <monqy> one time I segfaulted cpython
05:31:57 <Sato0x> back
05:31:58 <elliott> anyway can we just ban Sato0x for saying "haters gonna hate"
05:32:04 <zzo38> shachaf: Can you show how?
05:32:14 <elliott> monqy: one time I segfaulted GHC!
05:32:16 <elliott> actually multiple times.
05:32:19 <monqy> nice
05:32:21 <elliott> even: frequently.
05:32:24 <elliott> can't do that with PHP
05:32:25 <shachaf> zzo38: "portable" if you count a special-purpose program that *compiles it to another programming language* just so it'll run on newer systems.
05:32:35 <monqy> I dodn't do enough ghc black magic
05:32:38 <Sato0x> ->can't think of a way to make php sound bad
05:32:46 <Sato0x> ->compares it to antifreeze
05:32:49 <zzo38> I have segfaulted GHC a few times too
05:32:50 <shachaf> zzo38: Not a program that translates Pascal to C: A program that translates TeX-written-in-Pascal to TeX-written-in-C.
05:32:51 <elliott> ->help
05:32:58 <monqy> Sato0x: but isn't that a way to make php sound bad ?? help
05:33:06 <zzo38> shachaf: I am refering to programs written in TeX; not a program that compiles TeX.
05:33:13 <elliott> monqy: antifreeze is REALLY USEFUL!!!!
05:33:16 <elliott> *antifreese (british english)
05:33:24 <monqy> elliott: so is php, man
05:33:29 <zzo38> And tell me how you make TeX to segfault
05:33:33 <monqy> wikipedia was made possible by the power of php
05:33:36 <elliott> Sato0x: anyway there's a channel where everyone loves php and you should go and talk to them about it
05:33:37 <elliott> #haskell
05:33:41 <monqy> imagine a world without wikipedia
05:33:43 <monqy> do you want that
05:33:54 <elliott> monqy: wait... oh no....
05:33:57 <elliott> the ESOLANG WIKI runs on PHP!!!!
05:34:00 <zzo38> That is true; MediaWiki is written in PHP.
05:34:01 <elliott> WE ARE AGENTS OF OUR OWN UNDOING
05:34:08 <monqy> imagine a world without brainfuck derivatives
05:34:12 <kmc> wikipedia is written in PHP and there is absolutely no way they could have used any other language
05:34:15 <elliott> brainfuck derivatives like php
05:34:16 <kmc> truly PHP is the best of all possible worlds

05:55:56 <monqy> hey did you guys see that cobol.com video?
05:56:00 <elliott> kmc: i regstered ur global
05:56:10 <elliott> "With 50 years under its belt, Cobol is set to remain the dominant language for business applications for the next 50 years. Having consistently seen off the young pretenders, Cobol has continued to evolve to meet every new demand thrown at it, from both business and technology."
05:56:14 <elliott> are
05:56:16 <elliott> they trying to make cobol hip
05:56:20 <monqy> yes
05:56:22 <elliott> "Business applications written in Cobol are faster, more precise and more powerful than ever. And now it’s easier than ever to run them on the platforms that make the most business sense – now and in the future.
05:56:22 <elliott> The future’s never been brighter for Cobol. And that’s got to make life better for you, too."
05:56:25 <elliott> wh.......
05:56:26 <monqy> is cobol not hip?
05:56:33 <dbelange> stop talking about cobol this is #esoteric
05:56:35 <kmc> they should get coball.er
05:56:35 <elliott> well
05:56:37 <dbelange> let's talk about haskell some more
05:56:38 <elliott> its kind of like antifreeze
05:56:40 <elliott> if you put it in your pants
05:56:44 <elliott> the scorpion doesn't bite as much
05:57:05 <monqy> you should watch the video
05:57:09 <monqy> it's really good
05:57:34 <elliott> "to take the enterprise applications of the future ... into the next future"
05:57:38 <elliott> i dont see how cobol can do this

06:25:44 <shachaf> hi monqy
06:25:57 <shachaf> The sun never sets on the American Empire.
06:25:59 <elliott> where's the nearest timezone where it isn't half 7
06:26:10 <monqy> maybe the one where it's half 6
06:26:18 <monqy> or half 8, if you prefer that way
06:26:34 <elliott> no!!!

06:45:37 <kmc> which?
06:45:59 <kmc> discordian calendar
06:46:07 <kmc> /usr/bin/ddate
06:46:33 <asiekierka> kmc: which package includes it? i'd like to add it to my distro
06:46:40 <kmc> which distro do you maintain
06:46:45 <asiekierka> kmc: not any distro you know
06:46:54 <asiekierka> and it doens't base on any existing package repo either
06:46:57 <asiekierka> it also uses an experimental libc
06:46:59 <kmc> in debian it is in util-linux
06:47:05 <asiekierka> oh, so it's in the util-linux source
06:47:12 <kmc> which experimental libc? one you wrote?
06:47:15 <kmc> what is the experiment
06:47:16 <shachaf> Tomorrow I'll probably explain integrals to my sister.
06:47:21 <shachaf> Over text. :-(
06:47:23 <asiekierka> kmc: no, by experimental i mean actually standards-compilant
06:47:25 <asiekierka> that is, musl
06:47:30 <asiekierka> the only thing i wrote for the distro so far is the package manager
06:47:48 <asiekierka> because all the other ones had either too many dependencies, not enough documentation or just plain failed
06:48:05 <shachaf> kmc: How's your libcfree program going?
06:48:52 <asiekierka> glibc is standards-compilant and also adds a lot of its own things, for compatibility or ease of use
06:48:59 <asiekierka> sadly that means it becomes over 2MB
06:49:12 <asiekierka> it also lets us see how many (quite a few, in fact) apps are not libc-compilant but glibc-compilant
06:50:55 <shachaf> Hmm, switch(x) case 0: case 1: ...; is valid C.
06:51:20 <kmc> shachaf: haven't done much recently
06:51:22 <kmc> been working on mosh
06:52:23 <shachaf> So in Windows that's apparently more or less impossible to do.
06:52:30 <shachaf> There's no kernel ABI stability.
06:52:44 <kmc> interesting
06:52:58 <kmc> yeah, I've heard that the Windows kernel API is much nicer than the usual Win32 API
06:53:15 <kmc> in linux tons of compat stuff is handled in the kernel
06:53:19 <kmc> which leads to tons of exploitable holes

06:53:58 <kmc> yeah
06:54:50 <asiekierka> i wish mosh didn't have so many dependencies
06:56:11 <qfr> What's mosh
06:56:26 <kmc> it's sad that dependencies are considered such a bad thing
06:56:29 <kmc> people frown on code reuse
06:56:38 <qfr> kmc what are you talking about
06:56:43 <kmc> anyway i have a patchset in for review which removes the boost dependency
06:56:48 <kmc> qfr: http://mosh.mit.edu/
06:56:48 <qfr> Reusing existing libraries is great!
06:57:13 <kmc> boost is a particularly egregious case because your distro will install 100 MB of binary libs, none of which we use
06:57:17 <kmc> we only include a couple headers
06:57:25 <shachaf> I thought boost was all headers.
06:57:28 <kmc> no
06:57:30 <qfr> shachaf haha
06:57:41 <qfr> shachaf well, there are pre-compiled headers
06:57:46 <qfr> Although I don't know if gcc supports that
06:57:55 <qfr> At least it has options for that for Visual Studio, I believe
06:58:01 * shachaf is exaggerating, but only by a bit.
06:58:14 <kmc> i'm glad we're using Protocol Buffers rather than rolling our own dumb key-value protocol like everyone does
06:58:22 <kmc> and making exploitable mistakes like everyone does
06:58:28 <kmc> that particular wheel has been reinvented way too many times
06:58:39 <qfr> For my last one I used JSON :(
06:58:43 <kmc> other than that and boost... ncurses and zlib are very standard
06:58:56 <qfr> boost is very standard
06:58:58 <kmc> utempter is actually optional although we don't document that very well
06:59:00 <shachaf> People don't care about code reuse.
06:59:04 <shachaf> They care about inconvenience.
06:59:06 <qfr> Developers do
06:59:09 <qfr> Yes, that too
06:59:15 <shachaf> I meant users.
06:59:27 <kmc> and we use one perl module (you can get by without the Perl wrapper script, if need be)
06:59:29 <shachaf> They don't like libraries just because of the hassle. They don't have anything *against* code reuse.
06:59:36 <kmc> so I don't think mosh has an unreasonable number of dependencies
07:00:14 <shachaf> There's also SSH.
07:00:18 <kmc> yeah
07:00:31 <kmc> technically you can use mosh without ssh
07:00:31 <shachaf> If mosh is an SSH replacement then why does it depend on SSH?
07:00:36 <shachaf> CHECKMATE, CRETIONISTS
07:00:41 <kmc> yeah
07:00:45 <kmc> we do a bad job explaining that too
07:00:50 <kmc> mosh depending on ssh is like a burrito
07:01:04 <kmc> oh man, there is a new taqueria 2 blocks from my house
07:01:19 <shachaf> Is it good?
07:01:30 <shachaf> Probably better than the taquería 2 blocks from my house. :-(
07:01:35 <kmc> 's all right
07:01:39 <kmc> i'm withholding judgement for now
07:01:41 <kmc> need more data
07:01:45 <kmc> shachaf: I'm in Boston area...
07:01:52 <shachaf> I know.
07:02:02 <shachaf> But I regret going to that one every time I go there.
07:02:11 <kmc> the baseline for a burrito here is that like a guy wraps a rat in butcher paper and slaps you with it
07:02:35 <shachaf> Hmm.
07:02:49 <shachaf> You should move to SF!
07:02:57 <shachaf> Or back to NY. They have good burritos, right?
07:03:10 <shachaf> And ¢0.02 Verizon pizza.
07:03:42 <kmc> yeah
07:03:48 <kmc> i should move to SF
07:04:33 * shachaf posts to kmcrumours.com
07:04:41 <kmc> ;.;
07:05:00 <shachaf> Did you know you can register keegan.mc?
07:05:11 <kmc> heh
07:05:12 <kmc> could do
07:05:24 <shachaf> Or bobthemon.ky
07:06:11 <shachaf> (Oops. :-( )
07:07:00 <kmc> users don't have anything against code reuse, unlike developers
07:07:29 <shachaf> Developers have something against code reuse?
07:07:47 <asiekierka> kmc - i don't frown against code reuse
07:07:51 <asiekierka> it's just more work for me in this case
07:08:08 <asiekierka> i frown against code reuse only when you use, let's say, 1 function from a library
07:08:14 <asiekierka> and require it in all cases
07:10:50 <shachaf> kmc: Do you have fun typing some text and then holding down backspace to delete the irssi prompt?
07:11:06 <shachaf> It's my new favourite thing to do.
07:11:38 <kmc> yes!
07:11:42 <kmc> i do that
07:11:52 <kmc> i was trying to find the minimum amonut of text to make it work
07:12:04 <kmc> depends on lag though
07:12:08 <shachaf> Right.
07:12:20 <kmc> also there's this one library that Mosh uses only a tiny part of
07:12:30 <kmc> and it's under a very permissive license
07:12:38 <shachaf> It doesn't work with one character because mosh needs to see the response from deleting the one character before it realizes that the current behavior is "deleting".
07:12:40 <kmc> so we just included the relevant source and build it ourselves
07:12:46 <shachaf> At least that's my mental model of what mosh does.
07:12:47 <asiekierka> that's the right thing to do
07:12:54 <kmc> this is fine *except* on Debian and Ubuntu
07:13:01 <kmc> they don't allow it because they have a package for that library
07:13:09 <asiekierka> well if they have a package you should install the package
07:13:13 <kmc> except their package is built with flags incompatible with the flags Mosh wants to build with
07:13:16 <asiekierka> ...
07:13:24 <asiekierka> link it statically?
07:13:32 <kmc> it's incompatible *because* it's static
07:13:44 <kmc> https://github.com/keithw/mosh/commit/0eec0b60f0c5b3d94d5e382ea3d4aff35c879ed2
07:14:08 <asiekierka> oh you.jpg, debian
07:14:31 <kmc> i mean we could pick a policy fight with debian
07:14:35 <kmc> or i could write 50 lines of code
07:14:37 <kmc> so i chose the latter
07:15:09 <kmc> but it's pointless make-work
07:15:39 <kmc> i have some sympathy for the rule in general
07:15:56 <shachaf> kmc: You're not using the stddjb idiom of return (errno = EX, -1)?
07:16:15 <kmc> no
07:19:48 <shachaf> sizeof values with parentheses is the devil. :-(
07:20:04 <kmc> shachaf: the correct model is not quite "we're in delete mode now"
07:20:14 <kmc> as soon as mosh-client sees backspace, it predicts a delete
07:20:37 <kmc> but it might not be confident enough to display predictions
07:20:41 <shachaf> I don't mean "delete mode", just "responding to keystrokes by printing them mode".
07:21:23 <shachaf> I note that when I type a few characters, it doesn't start predicting responses to the later ones until it gets a response to at least one.
07:21:27 <kmc> shachaf: what's wrong with parens?
07:21:38 <kmc> shachaf: right, after all you might be entering your password
07:21:53 <shachaf> "sizeof(x)" in C is like "foo(x)" in Haskell.
07:22:07 <kmc> except that it's consistent with everything else in the language
07:22:10 <kmc> including sizeof(x_t)
07:22:15 <shachaf> It's an operator that doesn't take parentheses, and it doesn't behave like one that takes parentheses.
07:22:38 <shachaf> For example sizeof(x)[y] === sizeof ((x)[y])
07:23:17 <kmc> i'll keep that in mind next time i want to array index a size_t
07:23:18 <kmc> ;)
07:23:23 <kmc> but yeah, fair enough
07:23:39 <shachaf> http://mauke.hopto.org/stuff/c/sizeof.c
07:24:00 <kmc> i realize the parens are not necessary, but the consistency is nice
07:24:08 <kmc> does code where this is a problem arise in practice?
07:24:36 <shachaf> Some people use "return (...);" too. I think that's reasonably justified -- it's probably less ambiguous than sizeof. :-)
07:24:39 <shachaf> I'm not sure.
07:24:46 <shachaf> "foo(x)" works in Haskell too.
07:31:48 <shachaf> The VDSO is the first step to Windows-style "syscalls", I guess.
07:32:46 <kmc> right
07:33:05 <kmc> except i don't think it will actually move in that direction
07:33:28 <shachaf> Well, they have to keep the kernel ABI stable forever now.
07:33:31 <kmc> right, foo(x) works in Haskell but is inconsistent with the rest of the language
07:33:39 <kmc> sizeof(x) is consistent with the rest of C. (sizeof x) is not
07:33:44 <kmc> anyway
07:33:57 <kmc> i will do "return (...);" sometimes, not always
07:34:04 <shachaf> The parentheses around "sizeof x" are only necessary if "(sizeof(x))" would've been necessary.
07:34:05 <kmc> that's more obviously parens for grouping
07:34:14 <shachaf> Otherwise it's just "sizeof x".
07:34:14 <kmc> shachaf: I know
07:34:34 <kmc> «sizeof(x)» is consistent with the rest of C. «sizeof x» is not
07:34:58 <shachaf> This seems like a silly argument. :-)
07:35:11 <kmc> yes
07:35:29 <kmc> your point about siezof(x)[y] is valid and I had not thought of that before
07:35:33 <kmc> so i have learned something
07:35:42 <kmc> but all the same I haven't seen it come up in real code
07:36:09 <shachaf> C has very few expression keywords.
07:36:13 <shachaf> In fact, are there any others?
07:36:27 <kmc> you mean using letters rather than punctuation?
07:36:35 <shachaf> Yes.
07:37:43 <kmc> can't think of one
07:38:18 <kmc> C++ has a fair few
07:38:30 <shachaf> "The sizeof operator yields the size (in bytes) of its operand, which may be an expression or the parenthesized name of a type."
07:39:10 <shachaf> I think another way of thinking about it is that sizeof always takes an expression without parentheses, but you surround it with parentheses in case it's a type, to reduce ambiguity or something.
07:39:37 <shachaf> Expression-keyword-symbols don't generally take parentheses either.
07:40:01 <shachaf> So I'm not sure how much "consistency with the rest of C" there is involved, unless you consider function application.
07:44:14 * itidus21 fires dodgeable segments of laser at shachaf from 50ft away
07:44:18 <itidus21> pew pew pew
07:46:18 <kmc> yeah, I meant the more superficial consistency of "this looks like a function call"
07:46:26 <kmc> i realize such things can be misleading
07:46:33 <kmc> but in this case I don't see a big practical problem
07:46:38 <kmc> but of course that's argument from lack of imaginatino

09:11:26 <shachaf> hi monqy
09:12:39 <kmc> what was your IO job?
09:12:50 <shachaf> /usr/something/tracker
09:13:07 <shachaf> I wish computers were simple.
09:20:20 <kmc> then they would suck
09:20:30 <kmc> you can build a shitty simple computer
09:20:49 <kmc> i do enjoy microcontroller programming for this reason though
09:21:43 <qfr> I still want to make my own ISA for some FPGA at some point
09:22:01 <qfr> And then write an awful OS with an IRC client for it
09:22:26 <shachaf> Most (?) complexity involved with computers is incidental, though.
09:22:29 <qfr> And then I can chat with it using some awful miniscule LCD screen and a PS/2 keyboard
09:22:38 <qfr> USB keyboard probably way too difficult
09:22:55 <qfr> If I'm lazy I can still just access it over ethernet
09:23:05 <qfr> Instead of writing drivers for periphery
09:23:10 <kmc> http://6004.csail.mit.edu/ is a really cool course where you design a RISC CPU at the level of logic gates
09:23:33 <kmc> so a bit lower level than usual FPGA work; the logic language is much simpler than verilog or vhdl
09:23:44 <qfr> I'd probably use VHDL
09:24:01 <kmc> USB is not *too* bad
09:24:02 <qfr> I did some superficial IC stuff at university
09:24:06 <qfr> USB is terrifying man
09:24:13 <qfr> The standard for that is like 3000 pages
09:24:14 <kmc> at least, you can implement it in software on a wimpy AVR uC
09:24:22 <kmc> sure but you don't need the full USB standard to talk to a keyboard ;P
09:24:55 <qfr> The class was like this http://siyobik.info.gf/misc/cmos-layout.png
09:25:07 <kmc> nice
09:25:11 <qfr> The exam would then ask "what logical function does this CMOS circuit implement"
09:25:33 <qfr> No fun :(

17:54:24 <elliott> bye ais523
17:56:30 <ais523> elliott: are we having this conversation in reverse, or something?
17:58:02 <elliott> ais523: If you ask me about the chronology of this conversation one more time, I'm going to end this conversation without even answering!
17:58:10 <ais523> haha
17:58:16 <ais523> meanwhile, I've been working on Elliottcraft
17:58:18 <ais523> not code, but thoughts
17:58:24 <elliott> you ruined it :'(
17:58:30 <elliott> i was fully prepared to carry that on for at least half an hour
17:58:34 <ais523> I'm going to make it work as a cellular automaton, finite speed of sound and speed of light makes it much easier to optimise
17:58:35 <ais523> but I wasn't
17:59:12 <ais523> and then I spent much of the rest of the time trying to work out how to implement 3D Hashlife efficiently when at least one of the colors has free will
17:59:53 <elliott> :D
18:00:10 <elliott> ais523: we had a php defender in here early this morning!
18:00:23 <ais523> hashlife in particular seems to scale badly with number of dimensions
18:00:31 <ais523> although 3 is probably low enough for it to work
18:00:34 <elliott> it was fun™®
18:00:53 <ais523> and wow, I thought PHP was only defended by misinformed people
18:01:43 <elliott> oh, they were most definitely misinformed
18:03:26 <ais523> also, this has a huge number of possible colors for a typical cellular automaton
18:05:23 <ais523> I can't really hate PHP defenders, I can only pity them
18:05:38 <elliott> ais523: you don't understand; they said "haters gonna hate"
18:06:12 <elliott> 07:19:48: <shachaf> sizeof values with parentheses is the devil. :-(
18:06:14 <elliott> shachaf: no it's not!
18:06:42 <coppro> RAGE
18:06:49 <coppro> programming languages final: what does the following do?
18:06:54 <coppro> filterM $ const [True, False]
18:06:57 <elliott> 07:22:38: <shachaf> For example sizeof(x)[y] === sizeof ((x)[y])
18:07:01 <elliott> wait, what?
18:07:02 <elliott> coppro: powerset
18:07:05 <coppro> elliott: yeah
18:07:06 <coppro> I know
18:07:11 <coppro> still, RAGE
18:07:19 <elliott> coppro: you got that on your final?
18:07:20 <elliott> awesome
18:07:48 * elliott thinks it's a pretty good question, actually; it's easy to work out mechanically, or if you have a strong intuition about the list monad
18:07:57 <coppro> well we had to define filterM first
18:08:02 <elliott> right, so it's even easier :P
18:08:03 <coppro> I did it be rewriting it as a list comprehension
18:09:00 -!- zzo38 has joined.
18:12:20 <elliott> 07:38:30: <shachaf> "The sizeof operator yields the size (in bytes) of its operand, which may be an expression or the parenthesized name of a type."
18:12:20 <elliott> 07:39:10: <shachaf> I think another way of thinking about it is that sizeof always takes an expression without parentheses, but you surround it with parentheses in case it's a type, to reduce ambiguity or something.
18:12:27 <elliott> shachaf: This seems like an argument for `sizeof (foo_t)` to me.
18:12:30 <elliott> :(
18:12:56 <shachaf> elliott: Right, m aybe it is.
18:13:15 <shachaf> elliott: hi elliott
18:13:54 <shachaf> elliott: You got a problem with my syntax?
18:17:12 <elliott> shachaf: Did you know I used to say "if("?
18:17:22 <elliott> I think Rob Pike says "if(".
18:17:25 <shachaf> elliott: I BET YOU USED TO PUT NEWLINES BEFORE YOUR {S.
18:17:37 <elliott> No
18:17:40 <elliott> *./
18:17:42 <elliott> *.
18:17:44 <elliott> I never did that.
18:17:47 <elliott> Other than before function bodies.
18:17:56 <shachaf> DISGUSTING
18:18:11 <shachaf> But you probably did it after every if.
18:18:18 <shachaf> Maybe you wrote code like this:

18:19:50 -!- monqy has joined.
18:19:54 <elliott> shachaf: No, I never do that.
18:20:00 <elliott> Did you know that Deewiant_ refers to the type as (char*)?
18:20:06 <elliott> Even though he declares the variables properly.
18:20:10 <elliott> He's awful.
18:20:11 <shachaf> char* str1,* str2; /* - eliot */
18:21:12 <shachaf> char *(*fn[4])(char (*)(char), int, int);
18:21:28 <elliott> shachaf: By the way, I have frequently used hard tabs in C code.
18:21:31 <elliott> I bet that u mad.
18:21:39 <monqy> did you mix spaces and tabs
18:22:03 <elliott> monqy: Tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment, yes. (Although I rarely did any alignment when using hard tabs.)
18:22:03 <shachaf> elliott: me mad :(
18:22:34 <shachaf> elliott: are u linux toralavlardsddss
18:22:41 <shachaf> hi monqy

18:23:39 <shachaf> elliott: h8r
18:23:49 <zzo38> I always put the { on the same line as the declaration (if it fits), use only spaces for indent/align, and declare like this char*str1;

18:25:25 <elliott> The DNA Maze style.
18:25:36 <shachaf> /* - eliot */
18:25:37 <ais523> elliott: admittedly, that one is mostly trolling, but it's grown on me
18:26:21 <elliott> ais523: Tell shachaf about how all tabs are inherently 8 wide.
18:26:47 <shachaf> elliott: I like to indent my code with seven spaces followed by a tab.
18:26:55 <shachaf> To make sure it know what's up.
18:27:11 <elliott> I know I don't know what's up.
18:27:23 <shachaf> That's because you're not indented properly. :-(
18:27:28 <ais523> shachaf: pretty much every application that isn't a dedicated text editor, nor word processor, displays tabs as moving to a multiple of 8
18:27:32 <shachaf> hi monqy
18:27:38 <monqy> you almost got me
18:27:38 <shachaf> ais523: I know.
18:27:40 <elliott> http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/s6isw/challenge_a_functional_freenet_xpost_from/ I like the part where the "challenge" is "please rewrite this large open-source codebase in Haskell for no good reason".
18:27:40 <monqy> almost
18:28:04 <elliott> shachaf: Ask ais523 why every program that lets you set how wide tabs are displayed as is inherently broken.
18:28:13 <elliott> He wants to tell you.
18:28:31 <shachaf> If ais523 want to tell me, they will.
18:28:42 <ais523> elliott: it's not setting it that's the issue, it's saving files that assume it
18:28:56 <elliott> ais523: I didn't tell you to tell me
18:29:03 <elliott> I told shachaf to ask you to tell him.
18:29:16 <ais523> I'm correcting you!
18:29:52 <shachaf> For compactness, I use U+1E2A41 ONE-SPACE INDENTATION

18:31:41 <elliott> I think shachaf forgot how to count.
18:31:50 <monqy> hey, counting is hard!
18:31:51 <elliott> Surely outer-space indentation should be A51?
18:31:53 <monqy> I sure can't do it
18:31:54 <shachaf> Or U+1E2A53 HI-SPACE INDENTATION
18:32:03 <ais523> A, B, C, D, E, FIFTEEN is perfectly good counting

18:32:31 <elliott> ais523: 0x4F = fifteen to 0x50 = fifty is not
18:32:32 <shachaf> Or U+1E2A56 DOUBLE-SPACE INDENTATION
18:32:33 <elliott> i can't count either!
18:33:19 <shachaf> elliott: I'm sorry. :-(
18:33:27 <shachaf> If I could count I would count.
18:33:32 <shachaf> But I can't count so I won't count.
18:34:06 <zzo38> This is how I write a C program (it is CWEB): http://repo.or.cz/w/TeXnicard.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/texnicard.w

18:34:30 <shachaf> elliott: Did you know the three advantages of Haskell are:
18:34:36 <shachaf> 1. Speed
18:34:40 <shachaf> 2. performance
18:34:44 <shachaf> 3. parallel execution
18:35:20 <shachaf> Which makes it the ULTIMATE PARADIGM TO WRITE FREENET IN
18:35:22 <shachaf> ?
18:35:27 <elliott> Yes.
18:35:31 <zzo38> Outer-space indentation?
18:35:50 <elliott> shachaf: You should read TeXnicard.
18:36:09 <shachaf> elliott: Honestly, though, paradigms aren't worth much.
18:36:14 <shachaf> Just my $0.20.
18:36:47 <shachaf> (DO YOU GET IT, FELLOW INHABITANTS OF AMERICANIA IN THIS CHANNEL?????)
18:37:50 <elliott> ais523: Can you kick shachaf?
18:38:02 <zzo38> It is the largest C program I have written which is not yet complete; the only dependency at compile-time is a subset of LodePNG, and there are no dependencies at runtime; however, you will probably want METAFONT or some other program that creates TFM/GF fonts, if you want to use this program effectively.
18:38:20 <ais523> shachaf: try toning it down a bit :)
18:38:29 <shachaf> ais523: Toning what down?
18:38:34 <ais523> the ribbing of elliott
18:38:42 <shachaf> Wait, when did I rib elliott?
18:38:48 <shachaf> I was just making a pun.
18:39:00 <shachaf> ais523: By the way, you should kick me.
18:39:53 <elliott> Sounds like consensus to me.
18:40:32 <zzo38> (If you want to use TrueType, OpenType, Adobe Type1, etc, then you will first need to convert it into TFM/GF format before they can be used for this purpose.)
18:40:58 <shachaf> zzo38: But I want to use Adobe Type1 and I hate converting fonts.
18:41:36 <shachaf> elliott: Did you manage to golf that C++ snippet down?
18:41:48 <zzo38> shachaf: Too bad... TeXnicard only support TFM/GF. If you prefer, you can modify TeXnicard to load Adobe Type1, but this is not recommended.
18:41:55 <elliott> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10156269/haskell-data-type-error I like how this question is full of lies.
18:42:10 <zzo38> shachaf: Which fonts are you trying to use anyways?
18:42:15 <shachaf> zzo38: Adobe Type1
18:42:36 <zzo38> shachaf: No I mean which specific typeface
18:42:53 <shachaf> It's called "Adobe Type1".
18:43:01 <shachaf> It's in TFM/GF format.
18:43:14 <elliott> shachaf: Do you like how that question is full of lies?
18:43:15 <zzo38> shachaf: Then you can use it.
18:44:06 <shachaf> zzo38: I'm sorry. That question was full of lies. :-(
18:44:24 <shachaf> zzo38: Would you forgive me. :-(

18:46:01 <zzo38> It is still preferable to use native TFM/GF fonts since they will use a different units of measurement. TrueType, OpenType, etc uses 1/7200 inch measurements, while TFM/GF uses 1/4736286.72 inch measurements.

18:54:53 <shachaf> elliott: Oh, come on.
18:55:06 <elliott> @oeis 0,0,1,1,1,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,1,1,0,1,0,1,1
18:55:14 <shachaf> elliott: Now I want to make an IRC bot/website/whatever for team code golf.
18:55:16 <lambdabot> Sequence not found.
18:55:25 <elliott> shachaf: That's called #anagol.
18:55:31 <shachaf> How does it work?
18:55:42 <elliott> By... talking.
18:55:53 <elliott> (It's the channel for http://golf.shinh.org/.)
18:56:04 <shachaf> I mean a thing where N teams get a "challenge" and a time limit, and each team works together to golf it.
18:56:17 <elliott> That's, like, so formal.
18:56:28 <elliott> Anyway, hmm.
18:56:31 <shachaf> You could make in interesting in all sorts of ways.
18:56:33 <shachaf> @where e_10
18:56:33 <lambdabot> let(!)=div;f n=1:n:1:f(n+2);w@(x:y)%[a,b,c,d]|t<-a!c,c+d>1,t==b!d=t:w%[10*(a-c*t),10*(b-d*t),c,d]|0<1=y%[x*a+b,a,x*c+d,c]in(2:f 2)%[1,0,0,1]>>=show
18:56:40 <elliott> Come on, there has to be some magical sequence behind that.
18:57:52 <shachaf> elliott: After I was shown where the sequence comes from, I decided I don't want to know.
18:58:49 <elliott> !oeis 2,3,2,1,1,1,2,2,3,2,1,1,1,2
18:58:52 <elliott> @oeis 2,3,2,1,1,1,2,2,3,2,1,1,1,2
18:59:00 <lambdabot> Sequence not found.
18:59:12 <elliott> OEIS sucks.
18:59:16 <shachaf> elliott: Almost all strings of bits aren't OEIS sequences.
18:59:17 <Mathnerd314> is there a string concatenation operator like + ?
18:59:46 <elliott> Um...
18:59:48 <elliott> :t (++)
18:59:48 <shachaf> elliott: And even if you find a sequence, the effort of decoding it will take more than N characters.
18:59:48 <elliott> ?
18:59:49 <lambdabot> forall m. (Monoid m) => m -> m -> m
18:59:56 <Mathnerd314> in C++
19:00:08 <shachaf> Mathnerd314: + works, for std::trings.
19:00:39 <elliott> Maybe I should just gzip the output.
19:01:14 <shachaf> elliott: I hear that that's often the best way to win these. :-(
19:01:36 <elliott> Well, C++ doesn't have a gzip decoder in the standard library.
19:01:40 <elliott> So it would be quite a feat.
19:01:45 <shachaf> Right.
19:01:49 <shachaf> But other languages do.
19:01:58 <shachaf> Which makes coming up with specifications tricky.
19:02:57 <shachaf> elliott: Anyway, you should definitely make that website/IRC bot/whatever.
19:04:43 <elliott> "Perhaps you'd better paste the exact code you use that gives an error together with the exact error you got, rather than the correct code and the error for some invisible code we can't see." Bruuuuuuuuuun
19:08:29 <itidus21> most shameful
19:14:05 <shachaf> zzo38: What is better: TeXnicard or MSE?
19:14:09 <shachaf> Also, what's MSE?
19:14:38 <zzo38> shachaf: MSE is Magic Set Editor. I think TeXnicard is better even though it is not yet complete. Some other people also say so simply due to MSE being pretty bad.
19:15:03 <elliott> <haskkitten> so basically when Icant sum something I can use on
19:16:47 <elliott> http://esolangs.org/w/index.php?title=Language_list&oldid=8
19:16:50 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: http://esolangs.org/w/index.php?title=Language_list&oldid=8
19:18:54 <Phantom_Hoover> What of it?
19:19:01 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: It's your favourite language!
19:19:14 <Phantom_Hoover> I have nothing against Brainfuck?
19:19:16 <elliott> @tell oerjan Oh, "grm" means "grammar"! I assumed you were just mumbling-grunting at all the people who wrote bad.
19:19:16 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
19:19:20 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: *brainfuck
19:19:24 <Phantom_Hoover> Except maybe that its design is too modular.
19:19:41 <Phantom_Hoover> But that's not really anything against it either.

19:25:59 <elliott> No.
19:26:06 <elliott> ais523: Congratulations!
19:26:08 <ais523> and my opinion is: it's mostly very bland, and when it isn't you wish it was
19:26:09 <shachaf> Parallelism and I were having a char about parallelism and concurrency.
19:26:19 <ais523> I think I probably won't go there again
19:28:09 <elliott> shachaf: A char?
19:28:12 <elliott> Was it 8 bits?

19:30:12 <elliott> shachaf: Anyway, link me up, man.
19:30:19 <shachaf> To what?
19:30:21 <shachaf> It was just logs.
19:30:26 <shachaf> You're better off not reading them.

19:34:17 <shachaf> 12:34 < reinoud> what does it mean with: Use `+RTS -Ksize -RTS' to increase it.
19:34:20 <shachaf> 12:34 < reinoud> ??
19:34:20 <elliott> ais523: You should totally kick shachaf!

19:34:38 <qfr> No, wait, that was +AT0?
19:34:45 <elliott> 12:34 < reinoud> what does it mean with: Use `+RTS -Ksize -RTS' to increase it.

20:04:56 <elliott> oerjan: well "grm" is shorter
20:05:08 <elliott> no, that wonderful topic arose from a fine hour-long discussion with someone who likes php
20:05:15 <oerjan> aha
20:05:17 <elliott> they wrote an aim hecker in php, you see
20:05:30 <oerjan> what's a hecker
20:05:32 <elliott> of course kmc is no longer with us. he awoke to find his aim thoroughly hecked.
20:05:40 <elliott> oerjan: who knows???
20:05:43 <shachaf> oh no
20:06:18 <shachaf> elliott: Did you know .tm will only accept 10-year registrations?
20:06:24 <shachaf> Also, it costs >$100/year.
20:06:26 <oerjan> come to think of it, probably a synonym for crocker

20:12:00 <elliott> shachaf: "The minimum registration period is 10 years and the retail cost is US$1000 for the 10 year period. As we prefer you to use the services of a .TM accredited Registrars, please note that most of them offer discount off our retail price"
20:12:04 <elliott> That's just the price if you get it directly.

20:55:51 <zzo38> Does this Haskell class have any use? class Contravariant f => Counterpoint f where { counterpoint :: x -> f (f x); };
21:04:35 <oerjan> hm reminds me of dual vector spaces
21:05:27 <oerjan> and galois connections and stuff
21:06:50 <oerjan> `? monqy
21:06:53 <HackEgo> The friendship monqy is an ancient Chinese mystery; ask itidus21 for details.
21:07:35 <zzo38> oerjan: I don't know what those things are, but this is one such instance of this class: instance Counterpoint (Op x) where { counterpoint x = Op (($ x) . getOp); };
21:07:54 <zzo38> (It is similar to the instance for continuations, but on a contravariant functor)
21:09:29 <oerjan> zzo38: the dual vector space version is also of that form, since that automatically becomes linear if Op contains a linear function(al)
21:11:41 <oerjan> i assume Op x y = Op { getOp :: y -> x }
21:13:10 <zzo38> oerjan: Yes
21:14:05 <oerjan> Op Void would be logical negation...
21:15:23 <Sgeo> Is it my fault old monqy said hi so much?
21:15:24 <Sgeo> :/
21:15:55 <oerjan> "fault" is not the word i would use
21:17:00 <oerjan> i don't remember a previous time when monqy _didn't_ say hi, so...

21:48:04 <elliott> now i can only aim my talkings at php
21:48:06 <kmc> i spent a lot of time taking psychedelic drugs with CS students and they tend to say things like ais523's quote up there
21:48:24 <shachaf> Before or after the drugs?

22:02:39 <elliott> shachaf: What is the type of a closure, man?
22:03:26 <shachaf> elliott: I look in #haskell,
22:03:34 <shachaf> "haskell" on StackOverflow, /r/haskell
22:03:37 <shachaf> I can't find it.
22:04:29 <elliott> Is that... a haiku?

22:04:53 <Phantom_Hoover> Wait, why do people say strong typing is unfriendly to beginners?
22:05:04 <elliott> because it hurts them with its strength
22:05:08 <elliott> "doesnt know its own streng" - strong typ
22:05:09 <shachaf> oerjan: We shortened it from that.
22:05:10 <Phantom_Hoover> It's really not hard to understand the basic principle that numbers and strings are different.
22:05:19 <oerjan> oh?
22:05:24 <shachaf> !cxx for(int p=56149304;p/=2;)cout<<(p-6854?p&1?"way ":"pon ":"- ");
22:05:24 <Phantom_Hoover> If anything, it's less intuitive for them to be the /same/.

22:11:41 <elliott> shachaf: WRONG
22:12:06 <shachaf> :( hi monqy
22:12:10 <shachaf> elliott: What is it?
22:13:47 <elliott> shachaf: The type of a closure of a is ∃s.(s→a).

22:17:25 <elliott> shachaf: No, the a isn't universally quantified, silly.

22:37:53 <Phantom_Hoover> <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: Do *you* know what the type of a closure is?
22:38:05 <Phantom_Hoover> You mean a Haskell monad one?
22:38:09 <shachaf> Phantom_Hoover: Hint: It's x.
22:39:00 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: What?
22:39:26 <Phantom_Hoover> What?
22:39:51 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: A Haskell monad what?
22:40:03 <kmc> ahaskellmonadsayswhat
22:40:25 <Phantom_Hoover> Closure, i.e. a closure as realised by the one with the monad that I forget the name -- wait that's continuations FFS.
22:41:45 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover is dum
22:41:52 <elliott> kmc: Do YOU know what the type of a closure is???
22:42:12 <Phantom_Hoover> forall a.a.

22:43:00 <oerjan> exists a. a
22:43:11 <shachaf> forall a. s.t. exists a. a. a
22:43:21 <shachaf> Haskell needs a "s.t." keyword.
22:43:44 <elliott> oerjan: WRONGE
22:43:46 <oerjan> shachaf: that's ->
22:43:53 <shachaf> oerjan: NO IT'S |
22:43:55 <elliott> oerjan: Specifically the question is "what is the type of a closure with value type 'a'".
22:43:59 <Phantom_Hoover> shachaf, it'd be more useful in exists.
22:44:05 <oerjan> elliott: a
22:44:07 <oerjan> ha
22:44:10 <elliott> oerjan: NOPE
22:44:18 <elliott> It's ∃s.(s→a).
22:44:31 <oerjan> *GASP*
22:44:57 <shachaf> MAYBE IT'S ∃s.(s,s→a)
22:45:07 <elliott> Wait.
22:45:08 <zzo38> I was off because I was playing Dungeons&Dragons game after I typed the message about Counterpoint
22:45:10 <elliott> Yes, shachaf is right.
22:45:11 <shachaf> I like that type better.
22:45:13 <elliott> I'm dumb.
22:45:22 <elliott> oerjan: IT'S ACTUALLY ∃s.(s,s→a) HTH.
22:45:33 <shachaf> elliott: THAT MAKES MORE SENSE
22:45:49 <zzo38> shachaf: It looks similar to the Store comonad type
22:46:42 <zzo38> The store comonad is \s a -> (s, s -> a)
22:47:05 <shachaf> hi zzo38
22:47:21 <elliott> Okay, a closure is ∃s.(Store s a).
22:47:22 <elliott> Just for today.
22:47:23 <elliott> For zzo38.
22:47:32 <shachaf> yay
22:47:40 <shachaf> zzo38++ # saved the today
22:47:40 <elliott> oerjan: Did you know that???
22:47:45 <elliott> I bet you didn't know a closure had either of those types.
22:49:38 <zzo38> I don't know what a closure is
22:50:55 <shachaf> zzo38: A closure is ∃s.(Store s a).
22:51:02 <shachaf> See definition 5 above.
22:51:35 <zzo38> O, that is what it is.
22:53:13 <elliott> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_(computer_science)
22:53:17 <elliott> That page lies. :(
22:53:23 <elliott> It says it has to be a function.
22:55:43 <oerjan> ooh closures are comonads?
22:56:16 <oerjan> i suppose that makes sense
22:56:45 <shachaf> hi im comonad - monqy
22:57:27 <oerjan> in fact that works with a _general_ comonad, i think
22:58:02 <oerjan> c.Comonad c => c a

23:04:12 <zzo38> Do you know what is the criteria needed for callCC with Codensity? I know that (Codensity (Const r)) is like (Cont r) so that can callCC (Peirce's law) but is there a more general criteria?
23:05:15 <elliott> oerjan: (I was wondering about the type of closures because I want a language without implicit closures)
23:05:30 <zzo38> I have noticed that: (Const x) is both Functor and Contravariant, regardless of x; if x is Monoid then (Const x) is also Applicative and Alternative

23:09:28 <Phantom_Hoover> I
23:09:34 <Phantom_Hoover> don't know how to tell you this but
23:09:38 <Phantom_Hoover> I don't think monqy cares.
23:10:38 <Sgeo> I'm pretty sure I carefully asked if he wants to be on the list
23:10:47 <Sgeo> He said no matter how much he mocks, he does. Or was that you?
23:10:59 <Phantom_Hoover> Me.
23:11:06 <elliott> No, he said that.

23:16:35 <Phantom_Hoover> Yes?
23:16:42 <shachaf> Hint: That area is so complicated, even elliott doesn't understand it.
23:16:49 <Phantom_Hoover> It's an island.
23:17:04 <shachaf> Sure it's an island.
23:17:09 <elliott> Nuh-uh! It's a "a self-governing Crown Dependency of the United Kingdom".
23:17:10 <shachaf> But what is it an island *of*?
23:17:11 <Phantom_Hoover> Called Mann. Or the Isle of Man.
23:17:16 <elliott> It's an a a.
23:17:29 <elliott> The best part is the part where the Crown Dependencies have nothing to do with the UK.
23:18:25 <Phantom_Hoover> It's effectively a self-governing bit of the UK; people who say otherwise are boring and you should give them a wide berth at parties.
23:18:31 -!- MoALTz_ has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds).
23:18:35 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: It is not part of the uK!
23:18:36 <elliott> *UK
23:18:40 <elliott> "The Crown Dependencies are British possessions of the Crown, as opposed to overseas territories of the United Kingdom."
23:18:53 <elliott> "Being independently administered jurisdictions, none forms part of the United Kingdom or of the European Union."
23:18:57 <elliott> The royals just own it, or something.
23:18:57 <olsner> so basically it's an island in england?

23:19:26 <elliott> RocketJSquirrel: Well, "the Crown" does.
23:19:33 <Phantom_Hoover> RocketJSquirrel, the Crown owns a ridiculous amount,
23:19:33 <RocketJSquirrel> Fair enough, fair enough.
23:19:35 <elliott> RocketJSquirrel: I think "the Crown" means "symbolically, the royals".
23:19:38 <RocketJSquirrel> Right.
23:19:43 <elliott> "But actually just 'the UK, sort of, except not really'."
23:19:45 <RocketJSquirrel> The abstract entity which represents British royaldom.
23:19:46 <Phantom_Hoover> See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_estate
23:20:05 <elliott> "it is no longer the private property of the reigning monarch and cannot be sold by him/her"
23:20:07 <elliott> Awwwwwwww maaaan
23:20:16 <Phantom_Hoover> It means "de jure, the monarch, de facto, the government".
23:20:17 <elliott> "The Crown is a corporation sole that in the Commonwealth realms and any provincial or state sub-divisions thereof represents the legal embodiment of governance, whether executive, legislative, or judicial."
23:20:31 <elliott> Does this mean our head of state is technically a corporation?
23:20:36 <elliott> Please say yes.
23:20:42 <shachaf> "our"?
23:20:46 <Phantom_Hoover> I... maybe.
23:21:05 <shachaf> elliott: Isn't London also a corporation?
23:21:06 <RocketJSquirrel> My brain is turning to mush.
23:21:11 <shachaf> "technically"
23:21:15 <elliott> RocketJSquirrel: You see how complicated the UK is???
23:21:20 -!- zzo38 has quit (Quit: *).

23:21:33 <elliott> Not the same thing!
23:21:34 <Phantom_Hoover> So yeah, the Crown Estate includes over half the UK's beaches, nearly all the seabed and all of our oil.
23:21:38 <elliott> And the City of London isn't the city known as London.
23:21:41 <elliott> It's a tiny part of that city.
23:21:44 <shachaf> can monqy have some oil
23:21:47 <shachaf> hi monqy
23:21:49 <shachaf> hi oil
23:22:00 <Phantom_Hoover> ...All of the wild mussels and oysters in Scotland, for some reason.

23:22:11 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: X-D
23:22:47 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: Is the UK a corporation too?
23:22:49 <elliott> It's gotta be.
23:22:52 <Phantom_Hoover> Also, if you go bankrupt or dissolve a company all property goes the the Crown.
23:23:06 <Phantom_Hoover> Oh, also the water mains.
23:23:12 <shachaf> can u be the crocwnwnn????
23:23:14 <shachaf> s/u/i/
23:24:11 <Phantom_Hoover> elliott, the Archbishop of Canterbury is a corporation too.
23:24:14 <elliott> What.
23:24:17 <elliott> Seriously?
23:24:45 <shachaf> can i be corprotatione
23:24:47 <shachaf> :'(
23:24:51 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: OK, so shachaf has so far been able to reduce cocky-about-the-structure-of-the-UK people into confusion twice.
23:24:56 <Phantom_Hoover> I think the sticking point here is that 'corporation' is way broader than the usual meaning; the usual meaning is just by far the most often used.
23:24:56 <elliott> I think we need to lock him up.
23:25:12 <oerjan> in the us, corporations are persons. in the uk, persons are corporations.
23:25:25 <Phantom_Hoover> Hey, I've always known that I have no idea how the Crown works.
23:25:25 <shachaf> THE UK = SOVIET RUSSIA AM I RIGHT
23:25:31 <elliott> WHAT DOES VERONICA: OF THE CHAPMAN FAMILY THINK ABOUT ALL THIS
23:25:44 <elliott> Freecorporation on the land
23:26:06 <Phantom_Hoover> It's entwined into like every public thing in the UK.
23:26:31 <shachaf> Is elliott a corporation?
23:26:34 <shachaf> gasp
23:26:42 <shachaf> Corporelliott
23:26:45 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: It's like the UK is some massive codebase that's been ported from assembly to FORTRAN to COBOL and now nobody knows how it actually works.
23:26:53 <elliott> (Here, assembly represents feudalism)
23:27:00 <ion> Elliotts are people, too.
23:27:18 <Phantom_Hoover> Basically, corporations sole are offices (*not* people) which are assigned to a single person but are seperate from them.
23:27:20 <shachaf> elliott: gasp
23:27:24 <shachaf> UK = TeX AM I RIGHT
23:27:48 <ion> That makes TeX = UK.
23:27:54 <Phantom_Hoover> So Rowan Williams is the Archbishop of Canterbury, but the Archbishop of Canterbury is not Robin Williams-- wait how is that less confusing.
23:28:05 <shachaf> Williams++
23:29:05 <shachaf> elliott: Is there a word that means: "crown + uk + british isles + great britain + ireland + northern ireland + republic of ireland + scotland + england + commonwealth + overseas territories + crown dependencies + ..."?
23:29:08 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: Are you *sure* Robin Williams isn't the Archbishop of Canterbury?
23:29:21 <olsner> shachaf: "england"
23:29:27 <elliott> "Robin McLaurin Williams[2][3] (born July 21, 1951)[4] is an American actor and comedian, and also the Archbishop of Canterbury." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Williams

23:31:51 <ion> I want «' OR 0 = 0 OR 'foo' = '» to be my middle name.
23:31:57 <Phantom_Hoover> Blaspheme.
23:32:40 <elliott> Wait, why did nobody tell me the Archbishop of Canterbury looked that awesome?
23:32:57 <ion> Sorry, i thought i did.
23:33:10 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: quick is he a raging homophobe or anything I want to like him.
23:33:32 <Phantom_Hoover> He's in charge of the CoE, so I doubt he has any terribly strong opinions on anything.
23:33:40 <shachaf> elliott: He is a raging homophone for Robin Williams.
23:34:11 <shachaf> (COME ON THAT DESERVED A GROAN)
23:34:49 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: It looks like the nastiest thing he's said is [[Though acknowledging that he was simplifying the Church's position, Williams said in September 2010 "There's no problem about a gay person who's a bishop. It's about the fact that there are traditionally, historically, standards that the clergy are expected to observe." Asked what was wrong with a homosexual bishop having a partner, he said: "I think because the scriptural and tradit
23:34:49 <elliott> ional approach to this doesn't give much ground for being positive about it."[55]]]
23:34:53 <elliott> OK I will take a compromise position.
23:35:01 <elliott> I support Rowan Williams for Pope.
23:35:13 <elliott> I mean, he'd be a better Pope than whoever's Pope now, right?
23:35:25 <shachaf> elliott: COME ON, ONE LITTLE GROAN
23:35:28 <elliott> shachaf: Grn.
23:35:40 <Phantom_Hoover> Not having been in the Hitler Youth is often considered a political advantage, yes.
23:36:01 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: Oh man, I forgot the Pope was!
23:36:08 * ion groans shachaf.
23:36:22 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: Can we hang him or something?
23:36:43 <elliott> Stop looking at me like that, you gotta kill religious leaders once in a while. :(
23:36:48 <shachaf> elliott: Apparently Rowan Williams is Primate of All England.
23:36:54 <shachaf> CHECKMATE CREATIONISTS
23:37:06 <oerjan> Phantom_Hoover: hey the hitler youth _was_ mandatory

23:37:19 <Phantom_Hoover> I was about to say what oerjan did, but he cut ahead of me.
23:37:29 <elliott> Isn't there pretty strong evidence he totally enjoyed it?
23:37:35 <Phantom_Hoover> Dunno.
23:37:35 <elliott> I mean, I forgot, but then Phantom_Hoover jogged my memory.
23:37:52 <Phantom_Hoover> WASN'T NORWAY NAZI FOR A WHILE MAYBE OERJAN WAS A HITLER YOUTH
23:38:09 <Phantom_Hoover> elliott, I think it was kind of like evil Scouts, it was probably pretty fun?
23:38:09 <oerjan> Phantom_Hoover: there is a bit of problem with the timing there.
23:38:22 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: PH............ they were Nazis..................
23:38:33 <shachaf> oerjan: Weren't you born in 1924?
23:38:43 <Phantom_Hoover> I did say evil Scouts, didn't I?
23:38:51 <oerjan> shachaf: shockingly, no
23:39:00 <shachaf> 1928?
23:39:05 <oerjan> nope.
23:39:07 <shachaf> @age oerjan

23:45:03 <elliott> lambdabot: How do you feel about olsner calling your feeling abusive?
23:45:07 <lambdabot> :(
23:45:43 <elliott> RocketJSquirrel: Why doesn't HackEgo ever show emotion?
23:49:58 <Phantom_Hoover> Oh, hey, the UK doesn't actually *have* many conventional corporations.
23:51:10 <Phantom_Hoover> It has companies.
23:53:51 <elliott> oerjan: so, anyway, now I don't hate existentials as much as I used to!
23:54:41 <elliott> they're only useless in haskell because it has implicit closures
23:55:16 <oerjan> okay
