00:00:27 <zzo38> Is it possible to set up something that some parts have race conditions but that the final result does not depend on the race conditions?
00:01:24 * Sgeo wonders if Tcl might be a sufficiently interesting language for kmc to look at.
00:01:34 <kmc> in the simulator each wire is either low, high, transitioning, or unknown
00:02:14 <kmc> in a particular logic family you have a rule like "low is below 0.3 V, high is above 2.7 V" or something
00:02:47 <kmc> and the "transitioning" state corresponds to a voltage between those two
00:02:53 <kmc> on the way from low to high or vice versa
00:03:08 <ion> Search engine keyword: static discipline
00:03:21 <kmc> gate delay is the amount of time between when the inputs all reach definite low/high values, and when the output reaches a definite low/high value
00:04:06 <kmc> anyway to answer zzo38's question, you could have (say) an AND gate where one input is low, and the other is still transitioning
00:04:19 <kmc> and yet the output could already be low, if sufficient time has elapsed since that first input went low
00:05:29 <kmc> and yeah this is significant in CPU designs
00:05:34 <kmc> at least the little one in the class

00:06:27 <kmc> the clock needs to be slow enough for the longest path of units which actually occurs
00:06:55 <kmc> but some unused units might still be stabilizing
00:07:01 <Sgeo> kmc, so this paper doesn't consider applicatives to be a subtype of operatives?
00:07:10 <zzo38> How fast can it be?
00:07:14 <Sgeo> And just use combiner for both?
00:07:26 <kmc> i forgot about the word "combiner"
00:07:38 <kmc> applicative and operative are two distinct primitive types
00:08:10 <kmc> 'wrap' is a builtin which turns an operative into an applicative
00:08:17 <kmc> and 'unwrap' does the opposite
00:08:45 <kmc> you can write 'wrap' without any specialness but not in such a way that it can be unwrapped
00:09:06 -!- Jafet has joined.
00:09:59 <kmc> and you want 'unwrap' in order to write 'apply'
00:10:50 <kmc> but i did 'apply' in a different hacky way which i think is still basically correct
00:11:20 <kmc> except that kernel's apply will give a clear runtime type error when used on something that's not an applicative
00:11:24 <kmc> whereas mine will just shit brix

00:20:59 <kmc> meaning "ancestor or self" i think

01:30:00 <Sgeo> I actually understand the difference between Kernel's equal? and eq?
01:34:22 <ion> I’ve forgotten the difference.
01:36:38 <Sgeo> equal? roughly is supposed to be the same for objects that are equivalent except in terms of mutation, and eq? for objects that behave the same even when mutated
01:38:45 <zzo38> Does anyone have any open source FPGA yet, and how fast would they run?
02:07:59 <elliott> I've asked this before but how do you grep for the contents of a commit in git again.

08:44:23 <olsner> maybe the rails are made of aluminum or something?
08:45:26 <atriq> kmc, it's a light railway as opposed to a normal railway
08:45:37 <atriq> It's like a subway or underground, but overground
08:45:41 <kmc> yeah it has a number of level crossings

08:47:31 <kmc> ah, i didn't know it has a legal definition in UK :)
08:47:48 <kmc> London Overground is just the brand for those London-area National Rail services which are operated by TfL
08:48:07 <Sgeo> I think the lack of special forms in Tcl is interesting
08:48:36 <kmc> it runs mostly on mainline railway lines, using mainline-like trains
08:48:37 <elliott> fine, *if you already know kernel
08:48:54 <elliott> tcl's main failing is that the string is a terrible data structure
08:49:09 <fizzie> "Vindolandia" (a misreading) sounds like a theme park.
08:49:24 <atriq> fizzie, it pretty much is, except without rides

08:49:58 <kmc> it's like heroin :(
08:51:07 <atriq> Without rides and with active archaeology sites
08:51:50 <kmc> actually the T&W Metro is not under the Light Railways Act 1896 anyway
08:52:24 <kmc> i think it's "light rail" under the US definition
08:52:38 <kmc> which is not a precise definition
08:53:03 <kmc> but involves some combination of: small/narrow cars, short trains, running partially in the street or at least crossing lots of streets
08:54:08 <kmc> whereas heavy rail rapid transit has a dedicated right of way

09:41:05 <atriq> between Hexham and Newcastle
09:41:45 <kmc> and yeah the UK is big culturally
09:41:55 <kmc> at least, the UK has an outsize influence on anglophone culture
09:42:01 <kmc> a large fraction of the bands i listen to are from the uk
09:42:05 <shachaf> I heard London is big culturally.

09:43:31 <kmc> and that this alone does as much good as the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie or other such deliberate organziations
09:45:08 -!- derdon has joined.
09:46:24 <kmc> also you can go from boston to new york for $15 with no advance booking
09:46:27 <kmc> on a sketchy chinatown bus
09:46:36 <kmc> doubt you can go from hexham to london on the same arrangement
09:47:05 <atriq> Newcastle has a pretty major chinatown
09:47:17 <kmc> interesting
09:47:19 <atriq> You know, I used to think Chinatown was the capital of China
09:47:23 <kmc> are chinatown buses a thing in the uk?
09:47:31 <kmc> that would make too much sense
09:47:35 <atriq> I don't think there are
09:47:42 <atriq> Like Mexico City et al.
09:47:44 <shachaf> Are they a thing in the US?
09:47:52 <shachaf> Other than NYC and maybe Boston.
09:47:58 <kmc> shachaf: yes
09:48:04 <kmc> San Francisco has a big one
09:48:11 <kmc> NYC has two or three actually
09:48:28 <shachaf> At one point when I looked they were more expensive than the other ones.
09:48:33 <kmc> oh, buses, not chinatowns
09:48:45 <kmc> but yes, chinatown buses are a thing on the east cosat generally
09:49:00 <kmc> you can go Boston → NYC → Philly → Baltimore → DC at least
09:49:18 <kmc> there might be something SF - LA too
09:49:30 <kmc> and there is analogous local transport
09:49:35 <shachaf> Maybe I should go south sometime.
09:49:46 <kmc> vans that take you from Manhattan's Chinatown to the one in Flushing, Queens
09:50:05 <kmc> if you see a van in new york city labeled only in some chinese with a ↔ in it
09:50:11 <kmc> then it probably goes between these two places
09:50:16 <kmc> shachaf: to LA?
09:50:35 <elliott> atriq: btw that's a misuse of et al i think
09:50:40 <shachaf> kmc: Or that general area.
09:50:56 <shachaf> I haven't been south of ~Santa Cruz since I moved to CA.
09:50:58 <atriq> elliott, Mexico City and the others. Perfectly good.
09:51:27 <kmc> i took Megabus from LA to SF
09:51:27 <atriq> Like, Panama City and Durham City
09:51:43 <kmc> before they stopped running on the west coast
09:51:54 <kmc> gotta go to boston, ttyl all
09:51:56 <shachaf> They stopped running on the west coast?
09:52:09 <elliott> atriq: englihs isn't latin

12:34:08 <kmc> Dublin airport has this weird arrangement
12:34:22 <kmc> where for certain flights to the USA, you go through US customs and immigration within DUB
12:34:44 <kmc> and then you go through another bag scanner machine because apparently the one you just went through for general airport security isn't good enough
12:35:04 <kmc> and then you're in a little concourse at DUB that's effectively part of the US domestic air-side security/immigration zone
12:35:06 <shachaf> Do you have to take off your shoes for the second one?
12:35:13 <kmc> and you can land at a US domestic terminal
12:35:15 <kmc> shachaf: yes
12:35:30 <shachaf> I think that's not that unusual for major airports that fly to the US.
12:35:41 <kmc> which other ones have it?
12:35:59 <kmc> ah http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_border_preclearance
12:36:35 <shachaf> Maybe it isn't that common.
12:37:23 <shachaf> kmc: Once, we flew to TLV (I think?) a Canadian airport.
12:37:36 <shachaf> We drove north from WA to Vancouver.
12:37:55 <shachaf> Then we had to go through US customs/security/something because the flight was connecting through a US airport.
12:38:50 <kmc> transit visas and transit immigration is in general a thing
12:39:17 <kmc> "However, the US and other countries who engage in the practice have been accused of being motivated also by the desire to prevent the arrival of asylum seekers, who are protected under the 1951 Refugee Convention's non-refoulement provisions once they arrive at their destination."
12:40:47 <kmc> i wonder which "other countries" those are
12:42:16 <kmc> customs and immigration rules are weird
12:42:23 <kmc> they aren't transitively closed
12:43:09 <kmc> for example, if you arrive from the US to the UK you have to fill out a big form about where you've been and what you're bringing
12:43:22 <kmc> but if you land in the Republic of Ireland there's no such form
12:43:31 <kmc> and then you can travel to the UK with no further immigration controls
12:44:50 <kmc> lexande says that you might be legally required to go to a police station in the UK and fill out the form
12:49:46 <kmc> on to the plane, bbl

20:05:18 <HackEgo> "Banach-Tarski" is an anagram of "Banach-Tarski Banach-Tarski".
20:05:22 <fizzie> Why was mine so short. :/
20:05:31 <boily> fizzie: it means it's not really windy, sky is clear, and it's somewhat warm and very humid.
20:05:31 <fizzie> (Uh, I mean... the airport reply thing.)
20:05:58 <fizzie> It didn't even have any 9999s. :/
20:06:22 <boily> in canada we never have any 9999, because of a weird mix between international and american formats.

20:07:36 <boily> those are weather observations and forecasts for pilots.

20:09:35 <fizzie> VRB01KT apparently i.e. variable direction, one knot; yeah, that's "not really windy" indeed.

21:23:17 <Sgeo> Oh, that's alright then.
21:26:23 <Sgeo> Wait, why does the thing require [cmd][/cmd] for multiline stuff?
21:26:43 -!- nooga has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds).
21:29:13 <Sgeo> It reminds me a bit of Tcl
21:32:47 <Sgeo> WTF at if acting like cond
21:37:20 <FreeFull> You could just use Racket or Clojure
21:44:04 <atehwa> Hmm, do we have some kind of bot policy here?
21:44:11 <atehwa> I'm about to bring one in.
21:44:42 <Sgeo> Bot policy: There is a 100% chance of someone attempting to construct a bot loop.
21:44:54 <atehwa> that's why I'm so eager
21:45:02 <atehwa> it's not a very commandable bot, however
21:45:10 <atehwa> oh, I have to be an op to invite :/
21:45:23 <atehwa> let's see if I can circumvent this somehow.
21:46:05 <Sgeo> Change the bot to enter a configuration-specified channel?

21:49:19 <psyk> atehwa: mit m haluan kaupasta?
21:49:31 <atehwa> psyk: no, bad bot, no finnish here.
21:49:33 <Sgeo> atehwa, what language (yes, I can tell it's a Lisp)
21:49:42 <Sgeo> And it's not Kernel
21:49:57 <atehwa> Sgeo: quite standard scheme, guile IIRC.
21:50:52 <atehwa> I just wanted some scheme that is quite ubiquitously available.
21:51:12 <atehwa> But I've ported it from one scheme to another at least two times :(
21:53:10 <atehwa> differences in Schemes' character set supports, availability of implementations for different OS's, the like.
21:53:40 <atehwa> The source, by the way, is at http://sange.fi/~atehwa/psyk/ if someone is interested
21:53:57 <atehwa> psyk: please say at least something in English
21:54:06 <psyk> atehwa: not everyone of my lines is in English!
21:54:31 <atehwa> psyk: you're right, they aren't, but you're a good girl none the less.
21:54:39 <psyk> atehwa: Puhuisimmeko mieluummin suomea?
21:54:58 <psyk> atehwa: Hmm.. Might be. But you sure are a liar.
21:55:54 <atehwa> actually, ircbot.ss there is quite a good glue if someone wants to try out bots in Scheme :)
21:56:36 <atehwa> well, anyway, psyk can be kicked out if he misbehaves or is irritating for some other reason
21:57:03 <atehwa> she's really quite a good kid, but overly fond of Finnish.
22:02:21 <Sgeo> Well, #lisp objects to fexprs
22:02:39 <Sgeo> I'm not sure what I think
22:02:51 <Sgeo> They make code-walking impossible, but I'm not sure how useful code-walking is.

22:09:22 <Sgeo> My current concern about newLISP scoping:
22:09:59 <Sgeo> If I have a variable x that I intend to use dynamically, and I have a function c that wants to look at it. Yet b calls c, and has a "local" variable x....
22:10:29 <Sgeo> Common Lisp has conventions to prevent this scenario, which due to the way let works is possible in CL. What does newLISP do?
22:12:31 <Sgeo> newLISP cons won't make dotted pairs, hmm

22:19:02 <Sgeo> "newLISP can usually read your mind, and knows what you want to do, depending on how you use the context function."
