01:31:58 <drocta> is this about esoteric programming languages?
01:32:46 <HackEgo> drocta: Welcome to the international hub for esoteric programming language design and deployment! For more information, check out our wiki: http://esolangs.org/wiki/Main_Page. (For the other kind of esoterica, try #esoteric on irc.dal.net.)
01:34:16 <drocta> so I wrote what I think is called a design doc for one, I'm not sure its clear enough though. its based on tuples. does anyone want to see it?
01:36:07 <drocta> its about one page down long.
01:38:56 <oerjan> you can put it on the wiki if you want
01:39:24 <oerjan> the channel is a bit silent at the moment
01:39:41 <oerjan> oh elliott is still here. scratch that then.
01:40:57 <oerjan> probably something about creyfish
01:43:15 <oerjan> it is slightly possible that elliott is getting tired, it's _way_ past his bedtime.
01:43:35 <elliott> i did become a giraffe though
01:43:45 <elliott> drocta: i run the wiki btw
01:43:59 <elliott> (well, as of february or so)
01:45:02 <drocta> so does a language based on tuples dieing sound at all interesting? and also all the things the tuples consist of are tuples,
01:46:08 <drocta> so far ive been calling it ~ATH (tilde ath till death)
01:46:38 <madbr> what sort of flow control does it use?
01:46:57 <drocta> there are ~ATH loops that loop until the tuple dies
01:47:27 <drocta> (pretty much while loops)
01:48:29 <madbr> how does it do i/o?
01:48:43 <drocta> it actually doesnt have strings yet
01:48:53 <drocta> or even numbers, you have to implemetn numbers
01:49:06 <madbr> you should make it have i/o based on tuples
01:49:14 <drocta> thats what I was thinking
01:49:37 <drocta> like, the first charecter would be the left half
01:49:47 <drocta> the second would be the left half of the right half
01:50:00 <drocta> and the third wold be the left of the right of the right and so on
01:50:23 <oerjan> ...you seem to be reinventing lisp lists there.
01:51:10 <kmc> did this ever get posted here? http://colinm.org/language_checklist.html
01:52:21 <drocta> http://pastebin.com/n5eUm5UL is the design doc so far
01:53:08 <madbr> ahaha I have a language that qualifies for [ ] Computers have infinite memory
01:53:24 <madbr> haven't found how to garbage collect it yet but it's really hard
01:54:22 <drocta> ohgosh i didnt see that the wordwrap would be a problem like that
01:56:10 <madbr> [ ] You have reinvented PHP better, but that's still no justification
01:56:52 <drocta> yeah, so, does php really have that bad of a reputation or?
01:58:44 * oerjan likes [ ] Shift-reduce conflicts in parsing seem to be resolved using rand()
02:00:14 <madbr> make a language where that's the only means of flow control
02:00:20 -!- glogbackup has joined.
02:00:43 <drocta> [ ] The name of your language makes it impossible to find on Google

02:07:28 <elliott> drocta: don't worry about it
02:08:25 <drocta> ok, thanks. I don't really have a good feel for how much memory it too much yet.
02:10:42 <drocta> if a language only has one type, is it strongly typed, dynamically typed, or what?
02:10:44 <elliott> probably nothing is too much
02:10:53 <elliott> you can view it as untyped
02:10:58 <elliott> or a statically-typed language with one type
02:11:03 <elliott> or a dynamically-typed language with one type

02:13:53 <elliott> atehwa: You ran those lists, right? Who did you bribe?
02:22:00 <drocta> hmm... so far it seems ~ATH exhibits at least 29 of those problems.
02:25:07 <oerjan> it's rather hard to avoid those marked with have/lacks, i'd say
02:28:42 <Sgeo> shift-reduce conflicts?
02:29:10 <drocta> not sure exactly what those are
02:31:02 <oerjan> Sgeo: a type of ambiguity in LR(1) parsers. for example if you write a grammar rule expression ::= expression "+" expression, you get a shift-reduce conflict when parsing something like 1+2+3
02:32:24 <oerjan> at the second +, should you _shift_ the + onto the parsing stack, which means parsing it as 1+(2+3), or should you _reduce_ the already parsed 1+2 part first, giving (1+2)+3 instead.
02:33:28 <oerjan> which means how to resolve shift-reduce conflicts determines e.g. the precedence of operators
02:34:17 -!- mtve has joined.
02:36:08 <oerjan> (and vice versa, in yacc/bison the result of annotating tokens with precedence is to automatically choose shift or reduce in the resulting state machine)

05:02:59 <elliott> that must have happened multiple times
05:03:21 <atehwa> well, this particular time Chris' reaction was something you could call trolling
05:03:41 <elliott> that's what i'd call a fair proportion of things chris does :P
05:03:46 <atehwa> as he was quite influential in the community, this created a lot of confusion
05:04:04 <elliott> (Anyway, I was asking who you bribed to get new non-spam posts today.)

05:04:55 <atehwa> yes, it was originally esoteric@catseye.mb.ca or something like that

08:36:59 <Phantom_Hoover> fizzie, does it involve getting loads of grunts to look through tables of data for behaviour that loosely resembles the real world and then telling everyone what a genius you are?
08:49:07 <fizzie> Patashu: The Amazon page has a description.
08:49:23 <fizzie> But this man is the most arrogant person alive, I think.
08:50:03 <Patashu> it does have a description
08:50:08 <Patashu> but I don't feel enlightened after reading it
08:50:09 <elliott> Optimal Estimation of Parameters is a ridiculously profound book title.
08:50:13 <Patashu> what does it do, besides estimate things well
08:50:19 <elliott> It's hard to get more all-encompassing than that.
08:50:24 <elliott> Optimal Method of Doing THings
08:50:43 <fizzie> elliott: He says everyone else is pretty much totally wrong about everything.
08:50:56 <fizzie> elliott: Both frequentists and Bayesians.
08:51:17 <elliott> That praise does seem rather high.
08:52:14 <Patashu> fizzie: are there any examples of his work I can read without paying for them?
08:52:58 <elliott> fizzie: So what's his version?
08:55:57 <fizzie> elliott: It is not terribly easy to understand, honestly. But he says it's a generalization of ML where the "model selection" is part of it, but also a generalization of the MDL principle.

08:58:00 <Ngevd> I'm not sure what just happened

08:58:36 <fizzie> Maximum-likelihood estimation.
08:58:46 <elliott> Arithmetic coding? So he's not a quack, then.
08:59:38 <fizzie> Patashu: http://www.mdl-research.org/jorma.rissanen/ -- there's a list of selected papers there.
09:00:08 <elliott> http://www.mdl-research.org/jorma.rissanen/rissanen.jpg
09:00:16 <elliott> this is a guy who knows a lot about optimal estimation of parameters

09:01:43 <fizzie> "You have been too much influenced by this traditional nonsense" -- a verbatim quote about his answer to some comments afterward.

09:03:52 <fizzie> But of course I haven't read the book.
09:04:07 <fizzie> Anyway, free-lunch time. ->
09:04:22 <Patashu> To summarize, the traditional dogmatic approach to statistical model building, in which prob-
09:04:23 <Patashu> abilities are viewed as inherent properties of `random' data and restricted to them, is resting on
09:04:23 <Patashu> shaky logical foundations.

09:49:06 <fizzie> It's funny because now we're going to have presentations for four papers, and I'd wager a guess there's going to be Bayesian principles involved. (He was especially critical of their "worthless nonsense".)
09:49:24 <elliott> So he likes the frequentists more?
09:50:47 <fizzie> I don't think so. He just mentioned them less. But he did say their hypothesis testing is pure nonsense, while he does it right using his theory of perfectly perfect perfectstimators.
09:51:24 <fizzie> They are optimal "in every relevant sense" (direct quote from slides).
09:52:01 <Patashu> there are irrelevant senses to be optimal in?
09:52:18 <elliott> Patashu: What combo should I play?
09:52:40 <fizzie> Sure, like "optimal in a practical application" or whatever.
09:53:15 <Patashu> elliott: crawl, crawl light or 4.1
09:53:34 <elliott> (i think the light people get offended if you call it not-crawl)
09:53:39 <elliott> Patashu: i want to get >xl 15
09:53:46 <elliott> i have low tolerance for the standard hunger mechanics
09:53:52 <elliott> (i.e. not being able to eat corpses most of the time and the like)
09:54:05 <Patashu> you could try troll fighter-something
09:54:18 <elliott> also not really looking to be a squishy fully-spells mage
09:54:26 <elliott> (melee w/ buff spells are fine)
09:54:36 <elliott> Patashu: trolls are a bit op aren't they
09:54:40 <elliott> (i don't play anything sufficiently popular)
09:54:42 <Patashu> they have shit defenses and apts
09:54:49 <Patashu> they can throw rocks though
09:55:06 <Patashu> well you'll be hitting things with your claws mostly
09:55:12 <Patashu> since you can't get rocks until cyclopses start appearing
09:55:35 <elliott> (my current combo of the moment is ghak, previously ghmo*makhleb)
09:55:41 <elliott> (before that dsak i think)
09:56:07 <Patashu> well, shrug. gh is good, ak is good
09:56:10 <elliott> which is strange because it's pretty good
09:56:19 <elliott> Patashu: heavy armour or light armour melee fighter w/ buffs
09:56:36 <Patashu> that depends on what books you find, doesn't it
09:56:48 <elliott> but i hate deciding late :(
09:56:52 <elliott> i like to wear my heavy armour early
09:57:04 <elliott> and then switch if i find nice books? ok
09:57:13 <Patashu> since p(heavy armour) > p(good book)
09:57:40 <elliott> is that valid in the optimal estimation of parameters method
09:57:49 <Patashu> (for example, as an ogre/troll p(heavy armour) < p(good book) )
09:58:02 <elliott> oh right trolls have stupid armour
09:58:59 <Patashu> I think it's meant to be a butcher stall
09:59:18 <elliott> very profitable for ghoule
10:00:03 <Patashu> I think 'pray' and 'butcher' should move towards the thing you most recently killed
10:00:09 <Patashu> popping it off like a stack as you keep pressing it
10:00:16 <elliott> it just sacs every corpse in los
10:00:22 <Patashu> ok but does light have area butchering
10:00:29 <elliott> you don't need to butcher :p
10:00:34 <Patashu> what about for sublimation of blood
10:00:45 <elliott> Patashu: oh assuming heavy armour is a pain
10:00:48 <elliott> 'cuz i need to raise stats
10:00:55 <Patashu> you only need 18 str for plate
10:03:10 <Patashu> you are not vbery good at this 'running away from things' game mechanic
10:03:46 <Patashu> rip elliott killed by: unoptimal play
10:03:47 <Phantom_Hoover> But DF is the only thing that would simulate the sublimation point of blood
10:03:55 <elliott> Patashu: it's because i tabbed it before i realised it was an iguana
10:04:31 <Patashu> you know what would be funny
10:04:38 <Patashu> if randomly you'd start in the abyss instead of in the dungeon, like an ak
10:04:44 <Patashu> except instead of dying at 0 hp you'd wake up in the dungeon
10:04:49 <Patashu> and it'd say 'Whew, what an awful dream!'
10:05:24 <elliott> blink as first scroll nice
10:09:54 <elliott> with less stupid chokepoint strategy

10:17:31 <Sgeo> Is cygwin good for using simple utilities like grep, or are there better alternatives
10:17:43 <Patashu> cygwin works, it also comes in dll format
10:17:59 <Sgeo> Although I already have cygwin installed and I'm lazy, so...
10:18:10 <Patashu> if you install cygwin and put it on your path (or just put the bash utilities you want in a folder with the cygwin dll, and put that on your path) you can use them from your windows shell

10:21:16 <Patashu> where the fuck did he come from
10:25:35 <elliott> Patashu: anyway you probably just play really boringly
10:25:45 <elliott> i couldn't stand to play hyper-carefully in earlygame so i go by instinct
10:25:52 <elliott> earlygame includes up to like lair:3
10:26:01 <Patashu> if you play carefully in the early game
10:26:03 <Patashu> you only have to play it once
10:26:25 <elliott> it's the one place there are unavoidable daeths
10:26:43 <Patashu> unavoidable death, noun: a death caused by otab
10:30:53 <Sgeo> elliott, I thought you liked W:A
10:34:48 <Patashu> elliott: maybe you should not tab uniques and instead run from them

10:35:05 <Patashu> you could have still walked to- really?
10:35:09 <elliott> the real lesson is: check whether something's an escape hatch before going down it
10:35:58 <elliott> look at this abyss section
10:36:09 <Sgeo> Why am I installing the new version of Racket
10:36:32 <Patashu> I'm not sure if it's a vault or a consequence of the algorithm used
10:38:05 <elliott> imo worms should just always be fleeing
10:41:04 <Sgeo> "Good integration with the Racket implementation: primitive values have corresponding Swindle classes, and struct types can also be used as type specializers."
10:41:21 <Sgeo> Is Swindle more.... integrated with Racket than CLOS is with CL?
10:41:37 <elliott> clos is integrated fully into cl
10:41:54 <Sgeo> Well, not integrated as in part ofm, but integrated as in fewer rough edges due to being tacked on later on
10:42:21 <Patashu> elliott: you are worse at early game than kacy
10:42:48 <nortti> is there some advantage in using common lisp instead of scheme
10:42:50 <elliott> Sgeo: do you have any knowledge of clos at all
10:43:23 <Sgeo> Hmm, I may have misremembered the rough bits...
10:45:30 <Sgeo> structs aren't CLOS classes iirc, but that wasn't ... such a big issue?
10:45:41 <Sgeo> Oh, some functions aren't methods
10:52:24 <elliott> Patashu: anyway soon i will be above xl 15
11:00:05 <elliott> Patashu: should i try again

11:59:02 <elliott> seriously if crawl just dumped you with a cleared lair at the very start
11:59:07 <elliott> and all the loot and stats it entails
12:00:52 <fizzie> Okay, the current presenter has written a book titled "Consciousness and Robot Sentience".
12:01:16 <fizzie> He's also from a philosophy department of someplace or another.
12:01:28 <fizzie> And after the talk there's a "robot demo".
12:01:46 <fizzie> I wonder if it's sentient.
12:01:48 <Sgeo_> If I try to learn Racket at the same time I try to go through SICP, will I become confused?
12:01:58 <Sgeo_> I mean, very similar languages with some significant differences, etc...
12:05:00 <fizzie> "Consciousness is the presence of phenomenal internal appearance, the "subjective experience" of perception-related neural activity."
12:05:39 <fizzie> Consciousness is also not computational, apparently.
12:06:00 <elliott> is this the statistics guy
12:06:35 <Sgeo_> elliott, in Worlds, the Sadness and Glee buildings are bigger on the inside
12:07:41 <fizzie> His robot is not based on any microprocessors or programs.
12:08:02 <fizzie> It's based on neural networks, but they're not "your neural networks".
12:09:07 <fizzie> It's called XCR-1, it's the experimental cognitive robot.
12:09:16 <fizzie> And I'm not taking any classes.
12:09:26 <fizzie> It's this sort of a day.
12:09:48 <fizzie> The robot has "inner speech".
12:11:14 <fizzie> I'm sort of reminded of Mentifex, except he's not quite as... as all that.
12:11:48 <elliott> is this person actually in your university
12:12:01 <fizzie> Not my, but a university.
12:12:25 <fizzie> It can experience pain, and has mental imagery corresponding to words.
12:12:47 <fizzie> It's this guy: http://www.conscious-robots.com/en/researchers-and-associations/interviews-and-lectures/pentti-haikonen-talks-about-cy.html
12:13:38 <fizzie> Oh, the video is gone. But there's something about XCR-1 there.
12:13:49 <fizzie> He also has leaflets just outside the door.
12:14:07 <fizzie> Now he has the XCR-1 on the table.
12:15:30 <fizzie> It keeps repeating the word "hurt", I think.
12:15:46 <fizzie> It found a small object.
12:16:08 <fizzie> Or maybe it's "search".
12:16:31 <fizzie> There's also blinking lights of different colors.
12:17:00 <fizzie> He's trying to hold a microphone next to it so that we can hear.
12:17:23 <fizzie> This all is... kinda weird.
12:17:52 <fizzie> He's shouting "green" at the robot.
12:18:21 <fizzie> It does not want green now.
12:18:36 <fizzie> That's the trouble with conscious robots.
12:18:37 -!- david_werecat has joined.
12:19:34 <fizzie> He said "green" and hit the robot, and the robot associated green with badness. And now it does not like green objects.
12:20:29 <fizzie> This is a strange event. Some of it like any CS conference, some... not.
12:21:07 <fizzie> I guess I should go to the pattern recognition society meeting now, that's pretty much why I had to actually come here today.

14:36:36 <DHeadshot> Here's a good question for discussion: Is Minecraft's redstone/redwire system Turing-Complete?
14:37:45 <nortti> yes. I got lefftif mwm to work. Can there be better window manager than mwm (not counting the tiling ones)
14:38:08 <Patashu> you can make a nand in it, and you can make memory elements in it. the only constraint is how big minecraft maps can get (which is currently limited by floating point representations)
14:38:23 <elliott> Patashu: there is no way to get infinite memory
14:38:30 <elliott> infinite initial arrangements do not really ocunt
14:38:35 <elliott> well it's similar to a CA really
14:38:45 <Patashu> aren't there things you can power with redstone
14:38:48 <Patashu> that re-arrange the environment?
14:39:56 <Patashu> it's possible I'm thinking of one of the redstone mods that add a lot more things to do with redstone
14:40:00 <Gregor> You can build a stack with pistons. Really, it's not at all dissimilar to computers. Its theoretically Turing complete, just limited by its "physical" nature.
14:40:05 <elliott> i think you are thinking of a mod yeah
14:40:30 <elliott> Patashu: Are you going to win that GhAK? : (
14:40:51 <elliott> Patashu: What did I do to deserve this?!
14:40:59 <Gregor> elliott: Yes, but that's as disingenuous as saying that a desktop computer is an FSM. It's true, but wildly misleading.
14:41:22 <elliott> Call it a BSM if you want.
14:41:34 <Gregor> I am quite happy to do that.

16:04:08 <coppro> ugh, fixed points hurt my brains
16:05:22 <coppro> elliot suppose I have a function f and a value v :: (Eq a) => a. Is there a function to repeatedly iterate f v, f $ f v, etc. until I get a fixed point?
16:06:07 <coppro> or more generally, to iterate until the result meets a predicate?
16:06:33 <elliott> i do not believe you have a value v :: (Eq a) => a
16:06:35 <coppro> I suppose there is takeWhile pred . iterate fv
16:06:41 <elliott> I presume you mean v :: a, for some a that is Eq?
16:06:48 <elliott> (ok I do believe you have such a value, undefined)
16:06:59 <elliott> coppro: I don't believe takeWhile pred would work.
16:07:05 <lambdabot> forall a. (a -> Bool) -> (a -> a) -> a -> a
16:07:39 <elliott> fixed (x:x':xs) | x == x' = x | otherwise = fixed xs

16:26:33 <Taneb> I've heard it be called church and cascade
16:26:59 <elliott> which language should i feature
16:27:16 <Taneb> ais523 is biased, he suggested one, and he wrote one of the nominees
16:27:26 <ais523> what's the nominee list?
16:27:32 <Taneb> http://esolangs.org/wiki/Esolang:Featured_languages/Candidates

16:28:28 <Taneb> Deadfish, Eodermdrome, Kipple, Sortle, Unlambda
16:29:18 <elliott> ais523: but the article quality is a main factor!
16:29:20 <ais523> it's been around for a while, and it needs some love
16:29:28 <elliott> Kipple's article is OK, but it's a bit thin on the ground
16:29:45 <elliott> also, there's not enough intro to make into a blurb
16:30:19 <Taneb> elliott, that narrows it down to deadfish and Sortle
16:30:58 <elliott> Eodermdrome has enough info to turn into a lead in the semantics section

16:45:02 <coppro> elliott: #haskell is stupid
16:45:12 <elliott> it took kmc years to decide that
16:45:27 <elliott> coppro: the best way to get an answer to a haskell question is to ask it on stack overflow and then link it to me
16:47:24 -!- augur has joined.
16:48:48 <elliott> coppro: (this is not a joke)
16:49:43 <coppro> this is better than asking you here?
16:50:07 <elliott> the answer will have punctuation and be motivated by the desire to gobble up ever more rep (i stopped caring about rep months ago)
16:50:16 <elliott> also it will probably include more documentation links
16:50:21 <elliott> admittedly asking on irc is easier for me
16:50:23 <coppro> (also seriously. I asked them how to compose a two-argument function. The correct answer, as I googled in 3 minutes afterward, is Data.Composition. The incorrect answer was to run it through djinn and pl)
16:51:01 <elliott> or use (.:) = (.) . (.) if you really want
16:51:06 <elliott> but i don't like that operator
16:51:13 <elliott> (fmap . fmap) also works and is less awful
16:51:23 <elliott> but yeah it's ok to use a point for that and really what you should do
16:51:35 <coppro> I'm not using a point here
16:51:47 <elliott> "how can I do X with stupid requirement Y"
16:51:58 <coppro> and my composition is gigantic
16:51:59 <elliott> Data.Composition sounds suspiciously like a silly third-party library for an ad-hoc number of arguments that will probably be more confusing to read in the end
16:52:03 <elliott> at least the point offers a guide
16:52:21 <coppro> it's on a different device
16:52:33 <elliott> oh composition is that ... yeah, I would not advise use of that package
16:53:12 <coppro> it's better than the suggestion #haskell came up with of sticking the boobies operator in my code
16:53:38 <elliott> (f .: g) x y = f (g x y) is the correct way to implement that operator
16:53:47 <elliott> that operator is an abomination
16:53:50 <elliott> and one day you will hate it too
16:54:00 <coppro> why is it an abomination?
16:54:21 <coppro> (\x -> foo . bar . baz (quuz . quuux) . zork x) seems terrible
16:54:48 <elliott> well because it's a special-case that actually has a more generic underlying pattern (fmap.fmap), (fmap.fmap.fmap) etc. and it's a bad symbol for it and it's just generally yeck especially when it's not clear how many arguments are being used so you have to mentally expand it
16:54:55 <elliott> coppro: something that big wants defining in a where clause anyway
16:55:10 <elliott> thing x = foo . bar . baz (quuz . quux) . zork x isn't bad at all
16:55:49 <elliott> coppro: anyway patch dgamelaunch for me
16:55:53 <elliott> to do something probably impossible
16:55:57 <elliott> ais523: can you tell me if something is impossible
16:56:36 <ais523> elliott: depends on what that thing is
16:57:13 <elliott> ais523: OK so you know how you can send mail while spectating a game in dgamelaunch?
16:57:48 <ais523> that's done using a patch to the games in question ("simplemail" for NetHack)
16:57:50 <elliott> ais523: you know how that's annoying because it blocks off the whole screen while you do it and takes seconds after hitting enter to get you back to the action
16:58:08 <elliott> I want to patch dgamelaunch so it instead just pops a dialogue on top of the game as it runs down at the bottom
16:58:15 <elliott> the drawing the dialogue over the game frames is easy enough
16:58:17 <ais523> possible but difficult
16:58:24 <elliott> what sounds impossible is restoring the game afterwards without replaying a bunch
16:58:29 <ais523> you'd need to parse the ttyrec
16:58:34 <elliott> ais523: err, while spectating?
16:58:40 <elliott> wouldn't it require a full VT emulation?
16:58:43 <elliott> because it'll be trying to modify the dialogue
16:58:47 <elliott> except it really wants to be modifying the non-dialogue
16:58:53 <elliott> kmc: maybe i can steal mosh's
16:58:58 <elliott> ais523: so, it'll be a very non-trivial patch then
16:59:04 <elliott> it's really really annoying
16:59:28 <elliott> i usually open another terminal just to send messages
17:00:23 <elliott> ais523: I suppose it'd be simple enough if you just had to use a one-higher terminal than who you're watching
17:00:26 <elliott> it could scribble over that line :)
17:01:00 <elliott> ais523: another alternative would be to just write the dialogue willy-nilly, then replay from before it was first shown
17:01:06 <elliott> but that'd just result in the super-fast-replay annoyance thing
17:01:32 <elliott> the solution is to not try and build a generic game launcher thing with mail
17:01:44 <elliott> but ha ha I'm not rewriting dgamelaunch for DCSS and convincing CAO/CDO to switch

19:27:57 <david_werecat> Yes. Although, those help it beat the programs using small spikes.
19:28:00 <EgoBot> Score for nortti__perkele: 14.2
19:28:17 <ais523> what method does it use to beat slowpoke? just outrushing?
19:28:30 <ais523> my defense programs do better against it than my attack programs
19:28:48 <ais523> Phantom__Hoover: waiting until a cell becomes 0 then putting it up to some higher value as fast as you can
19:29:05 <ais523> it defeats programs containing ]]] in their clear loop, together with some other formations (but ]]] is the most common)
19:30:23 <david_werecat> I can't say from the trace, but if slowpoke checks for zeroed cells than my program leaves a trail of ones; which could cause it to think I'm stuck when I'm not.
19:31:03 <Taneb> Man, I'm awful at BF Joust
19:31:56 <itidus21> i know this topic has come and gone, but i think about robots etc, when life directs itself towards the question of what is alive, how can i create life, etc etc.. i think it is a depressed life who thinks like that

19:32:08 <ais523> david_werecat: IIRC it checks for ones too
19:32:48 <itidus21> and implies a dissatisfaction with the good things like campfires, flints of stone, and getting about the jungle in leather hides
19:34:35 <david_werecat> It looks like my program is just faster, since it uses a narrowing attack of order 35.
19:36:37 <david_werecat> Although, I'm still sure that I can't truly beat something in first place...
19:37:00 <itidus21> in conclusion, i think that the relation between "a life of wandering about the jungle as a hunter with a spear" and "a life of studying bosons and galaxies" is that it doesn't matter which

20:24:14 <fizzie> Allegro is the name of the Helsinki / Saint Petersburg train.
20:24:59 <fizzie> (And deewiant_pendolino is presumably named after the fast-ish Pendolino trains.)
20:25:20 <fizzie> So did I, and it still might be, but since the other one is unambiguously a train.
20:26:01 <fizzie> Plus Deewiant had a "sm3" earlier.
