01:06:53 <oerjan> Likewise, it is considered technically incorrect that hurricanes ever in fact happen in Hertford, Hereford, or Hampshire (in the UK), as the only hurricane force (≥64 knot) winds occurring in these areas are due to extratropical cyclones which, in spite of having hurricane force winds, are not strictly speaking hurricanes due to their different physical causes and dynamics.

01:43:22 <kallisti> Gregor: what's the default user when running inside umlbox
01:43:34 <kallisti> and what's the best way to change that.
01:45:17 <Gregor> The default user within umlbox is an imaginary user with the same ID as the host user, and the nature of UML makes that effectively impossible to change while still allowing any filesystem access at all.
01:45:40 <kallisti> ah okay
01:46:45 <kallisti> is the imaginary user in the same groups as the original? From my playing around with umlbox, it seems as though the sandbox user is always considered "other" within hostfs mountpoints.

06:47:31 <kallisti> I made

06:50:54 <coppro> so.
06:51:09 <coppro> the fact that all monoids have coequalizers is far more interesting
06:52:44 <zzo38> coppro: What does it mean?
06:52:56 <zzo38> What is a coequalizer?
07:02:07 <copumpkin> you know what an equalizer?
07:02:08 <copumpkin> is
07:03:03 <zzo38> Actually I don't know that either
07:05:05 * kallisti comes to #esoteric
07:05:08 * kallisti announces esolang.
07:05:16 * kallisti is ignored for maths.
07:05:22 <copumpkin> aww
07:05:25 <kallisti> :_(
07:05:39 <zzo38> kallisti: What esolang did you make?
07:05:48 <kallisti> zzo38: can you read perl?
07:05:56 <kallisti> I have a reference interpreter in perl.
07:05:56 <zzo38> Somewhat.
07:06:22 <zzo38> I am writing a music!
07:06:24 <kallisti> it's based off of dupdog, in some ways.
07:06:36 <pikhq> We couldn't have the channel be *on topic*, now could we?
07:06:37 <Phantom_Hoover> Wait shit those guys in that one Simpsons episode in France were called Ugolin and Cesar?
07:06:42 <Phantom_Hoover> HOW DID I NEVER KNOW
07:06:47 <zzo38> kallisti: OK and in what way?
07:06:50 <kallisti> but more-to-the-point, at the sacrifice of possibly being turing complete
07:07:16 -!- Phantom_Hoover has set topic: no esolang talk for [0] days | http://codu.org/logs/_esoteric/.
07:07:28 <Phantom_Hoover> (dammit kallisti)
07:07:38 <kallisti> zzo38: a character in the source code is interpreted as a command; the command modifies the source code. the process repeats.
07:08:01 <kallisti> in dupdog, the first character in the source is interpreted as a command. in dogless, it's the character after the first ]
07:08:30 <kallisti> (there's only one interpreter. no alternating interpreters.)
07:09:06 <zzo38> OK
07:10:25 <kallisti> http://sprunge.us/JGVg?perl current source. I haven't fully tested it.
07:11:23 <kallisti> another difference is that commands can have character arguments. > and < are substition commands
07:11:49 <kallisti> >ab substitutes the first a that occurs after the command for b
07:12:02 <kallisti> <ab substitutes /all/ the a's the occur before the ] marker with b's
07:13:49 <kallisti> ? reverses the source, ~ duplicates the source. ^ swaps everything on the left with everything on the right. abc[^def becomes def[abc
07:14:39 <kallisti> ! deletes everything on the left. abc[!def becomes [def
07:15:44 <kallisti> [ removes everything up to and including the next ]
07:15:50 <kallisti> ][this is ignored]!
07:15:55 <kallisti> becomes [!
07:16:26 <kallisti> (or the end of the string if there's no matching ])
07:16:46 <kallisti> anything else is just moved from one side of the ] to the other. abc[def becomes abcd[ef
07:17:57 <kallisti> if there's no ], the program terminates, and the output is the source code.
07:20:17 <zzo38> OK
07:33:06 <itidus20> Phantom_Hoover: ahh the exchange student program where bart learns french.. yeah
07:34:18 <Phantom_Hoover> Except now I realise it's a really blatant reference to the villains of Jean de Florette.

07:35:17 <Phantom_Hoover> I know, but that one surprised me.

08:04:45 <soundnfury> (and ?s)

10:51:48 <itidus20> one thing i don't like about linguistics is when well-meaning people tell things that are 90% true
10:54:15 <itidus20> if people liked speaking in languages which have a 1 to 1 correspondance with a definition they could just go to latin
10:57:06 <itidus20> "is "but" an interjection? not in english" "my friends use "but" as an interjection, are my friends speaking english? your friends are idiots" "(defeated face)"
10:57:53 <olsner> it is an interjection when you use it as one
10:58:37 <itidus20> "have your friends published anything? why? if they publish something using but as an interjection we can reference it in OED"
10:59:13 <itidus20> "actually wait.. that alone won't be enough.. but it will be a leg up"
10:59:55 <itidus20> olsner: must be
11:00:34 <olsner> I would say that every word can be used as an interjection
11:00:47 <itidus20> i think english interjection but is equivalent to japanese ka particle :D
11:01:11 <itidus20> no wait
11:01:17 <itidus20> its not indicating a question always
11:01:18 <olsner> kedo?
11:01:53 <itidus20> ive heard it used as slang in australia :P
11:02:23 <itidus20> sorta like "i gotta go" "yeah, how come but?"
11:04:38 <itidus20> i think i don't understand linguistics nearly well enough to have a clue whats happening there
11:12:24 <mroman> ka is not really an interjection I'd say.
11:12:36 <mroman> It's a question marking particle if used at the end of a sentence.
11:14:23 <olsner> I remember reading that question marking particles are more common than using word sequence or intonation to mark questions
11:15:53 <mroman> yes
11:16:15 <mroman> Are you a dog. You are a dog.
11:16:23 <mroman> That's what you mean by word sequence?
11:16:30 <mroman> You can't do that in japanese.
11:16:51 <mroman> You can't just switch the position of the verb.
11:17:54 <nortti> in finnish you add usually add suffix -ko when doing that. (For example "Sinä olet koira" -> "Oletko sinä koira")
11:18:14 <olsner> word order is kind of fluid in japanese as I understand it, but in english you can't switch freely because it might make your statement a question
11:18:50 <mroman> That's the point, yes.
11:18:58 <mroman> Are you a dog is clearly a question
11:19:17 <mroman> You are a dog could be a question but it's usually just a statement.
11:19:32 <olsner> You're a dog!?
11:19:39 <mroman> The word order in japanese is subject object verb
11:20:10 <mroman> The verb always comes at the end.
11:21:13 <mroman> and a correct sentence does not need a subject neither an object.

11:24:29 <olsner> ah, here it is: http://wals.info/feature/116A

19:58:49 <Taneb> Thue-morse sequence

19:59:19 <oerjan> indeed, my advisor liked to use it as example

20:05:56 <Taneb> How can I say what the thue morse sequence
20:06:23 <Taneb> is in about two minutes?
20:07:01 <oerjan> well first you give the above substitution
20:07:06 <oerjan> then you just write
20:07:06 <oerjan> 0
20:07:07 <oerjan> 01
20:07:09 <oerjan> 0110
20:07:11 <oerjan> 01101001
20:07:18 <oerjan> 0110100110010110
20:07:58 <oerjan> and in the limit, you get an infinite sequence that is the substitution applied to itself.
20:09:07 <copumpkin> > fix ((>>= \x -> case x of '0' -> "01"; '1' -> "10") . ('0':))
20:09:10 <lambdabot> "01011001101001011010011001011001101001100101101001011001101001011010011001...
20:09:29 <oerjan> you might then point out that it's non-periodic, but every finite subsequence occurs with bounded gaps.
20:09:50 <oerjan> (which is what made it fit into the framework of my advisor)
20:10:26 <oerjan> (although for that you also need to extend it infinitely leftwards as well. there are two ways of doing so.)
20:10:45 <oerjan> either mirror, and mirror _and_ switch 0's and 1's.
20:10:56 <oerjan> *or mirror
20:11:40 <oerjan> uniform recurrence was the term for those bounded gaps
20:13:37 <oerjan> and the fact that there were two ways of extending leftwards meant that a tweak had to be made later when constructing the infinite diagrams.
20:14:44 <Taneb> Thanks
20:15:33 <oerjan> copumpkin: your sequence looks wrong.

20:16:37 <oerjan> > fix (("01"++) . (>>= \x -> case x of '0' -> "01"; '1' -> "10") . tail)
20:16:39 <lambdabot> "01101001100101101001011001101001100101100110100101101001100101101001011001...
20:16:58 <oerjan> oh hm
20:17:09 <kallisti> also known as the "generic binary sequence in movies and television"
20:17:11 <oerjan> > fix ((>>= \x -> case x of '0' -> "01"; '1' -> "10") . ('0':) . tail)
20:17:13 <lambdabot> "01101001100101101001011001101001100101100110100101101001100101101001011001...
20:17:18 <oerjan> kallisti: it is? :P
20:17:21 <copumpkin> oerjan: what's wrong with it?
20:17:31 <kallisti> well, it reminds me of it.
20:17:36 <kallisti> it has enough variation.
20:17:42 <kallisti> to be just arbitrarily chosn 1's and 0's
20:17:43 <oerjan> copumpkin: you need to drop the 0 off before adding it again
20:17:56 <copumpkin> oerjan: nah, it's the same as yours except all concatted together, from what I can see?
20:18:07 <copumpkin> break it up into power-of-two chunks
20:18:36 <copumpkin> maybe I'm wrong :)
20:18:38 <oerjan> copumpkin: um it's _one_ infinite sequence of digits, not a sequence of sequences
20:19:20 <copumpkin> oh well I misunderstood then :P
20:20:11 <oerjan> copumpkin: you want a sequence that is a fixpoint of (>>= \x -> case x of '0' -> "01"; '1' -> "10"), but fix isn't lazy enough so you must help it along by choosing the first element, which ('0':) . tail does
20:20:42 <oerjan> without the tail, the result isn't a fixpoint of the original sense
20:20:59 <kallisti> so here's an idea for a language:
20:21:01 <kallisti> Y sed
20:21:09 <kallisti> a sed program with itself fed as input
20:21:25 <kallisti> iterated until the output is the same in X iterations.
20:22:45 <oerjan> <kallisti> to be just arbitrarily chosn 1's and 0's <-- you see that it isn't when you split it into some power of 2 chunks, though
20:23:03 <kallisti> well of course it's not "arbitrary" (whatever that even means in a technical sense)
20:23:35 <kallisti> I guess all binary sequences sound like "generic binary sequence from TV or movie"
20:23:48 <oerjan> another way of constructing it is to xor all the bits of the index position
20:24:36 <kallisti> Y sed is turing complete no? it's iterated regex.
20:24:53 <nortti> reminds me of ///
20:25:03 <oerjan> kallisti: i have heard that iterated sed is TC somehow, anyway
20:25:26 <kallisti> the difference here being that the source code is the input and the output
20:26:05 <olsner> sed can replace in a loop, it even has conditional jumps, so it's obviously TC
20:26:36 <kallisti> it seems like when you start forcing the source to be the input and output weird things start happening with its computational class. I somehow think that dogless isn't TC.

20:32:46 <kallisti> the perils of programming after too much abstract math.

20:36:14 <kallisti> ais523: btw I made a spiritual successor to dupdog
20:36:37 <kallisti> I need to do some other stuff before I can write up a wiki page for it.
20:36:58 <kallisti> http://sprunge.us/BiLC?perl reference interpreter in Perl.
20:38:12 <kallisti> ais523: looks interesting
20:38:13 <mroman> do you have to return $_?
20:38:16 <kallisti> I'll have to read more about it.
20:38:20 <kallisti> mroman: yes
20:38:25 <mroman> so
20:38:27 <kallisti> return; is just return undef
20:38:32 <mroman> although everything can handle $_
20:38:34 <mroman> return cant?
20:38:42 <kallisti> "everything" can't handle $_
20:38:47 <mroman> ok
20:38:47 <kallisti> many things can
20:38:48 <mroman> most
20:38:49 <kallisti> return is not one of those.
20:38:52 <mroman> pff.
20:38:54 <mroman> perl sucks :)
20:39:11 <kallisti> return; is typically used to exit a "void" function
20:39:16 <kallisti> so it would make sense that it returns an undefine result.
20:39:23 <kallisti> *undefined
20:39:33 <mroman> As much sense as any decision in perl can make ;)
20:39:43 <mroman> but yeah.
20:39:59 <mroman> having return; return $_ is probably a bad idea.
20:40:05 <kallisti> oh oopse so of my old recursion is showing
20:40:11 <kallisti> *some
20:40:28 <kallisti> I had written it recursive before but I don't think perl optimizes tail calls.
20:41:23 <kallisti> http://sprunge.us/BiLC?perl
