02:17:37 <ais523> <zzo38> Is it possible to make circuits described using discrete logic to be compiled into a native code which can emulate this circuit? ← sure, you can do it with programs like GHDL (which compiles hardware descriptions to gcc intermediate representation, and uses gcc to take it the rest of the way)

04:02:40 <kmc> why's that?
04:04:25 <pikhq> IIRC they extended the signal sent by the satellites so that it's not *vastly* different from GPS if you listen to the right band.

04:28:55 <shachaf> kmc: I don't know about any fancy way.
04:29:59 <shachaf> I just found some code in compiler/rename/ that handled OverLits and changed HsFractionals with denominator 1 into HsIntegers.

15:14:14 <Sgeo> I wonder if I can bring a modified copy of LilHal in here
15:14:34 <atriq> Dirk's Auto-Responder?
15:14:56 <Sgeo> (LilHal is the IRC bot I wrote in Tcl to tell the channel when there's an update. Yes, named after the AR)
15:16:20 <Sgeo> It's faster than many people's notifiers, I think
15:16:38 <itidus21> Sgeo: what about a separate channel for updates?
15:16:42 <atriq> Does it say the names of people?
15:16:54 <atriq> #esoteric-homestuck
15:17:50 <Sgeo> atriq, it private messages people
15:18:14 <Sgeo> And says it out loud in channel, but that can be disabled
15:19:10 <itidus21> it should pm a bot with @tell person update >:-)

15:19:40 <atriq> For a start, I'd have to be talking
15:20:38 <Sgeo> Well, it's currently active in SwiftIRC, could just use it there unless/until we get one running here
15:22:50 <atriq> I'm not comfortable with the idea of being on more than one IRC server at once
15:23:03 <atriq> Freenode/Esper was too weird for me
15:26:23 <atriq> You know what annoys me?
15:26:36 <atriq> That I'm annoyed that people assume there's only one kind of sign language
15:28:47 <itidus21> thats probably a good annoyance
15:29:06 <atriq> I'm annoyed that this annoys me
15:31:07 <itidus21> i get this from the first 2 lines annoyed_by(annoyed_by(people assume there's only one kind of sign language))
15:32:46 <itidus21> im not sure how to haskell this. but i don't mean to impose. i feel much better now.
15:37:40 <FreeFull> atriq: I am on 12 networks right now
15:37:53 <atriq> That is a ridiculous amount of networks
15:38:09 <atriq> That's roughly similar to the number of channels I've been in
15:38:24 <atriq> (probably significantly less)
15:38:46 <kmc> i'm also in 2 channels
15:38:55 <kmc> used to be in more but i keep rage-quitting them :/
15:39:07 <atriq> I very rarely rage-quit channels
15:39:12 <atriq> I just sort of phase out

15:40:55 <atriq> What are the odds that linux gaming will become mainstream in the next 2 months?
15:41:10 <FreeFull> Depends on when Valve releases Steam for Linux
15:41:15 <FreeFull> I think it will take more than 2 months
15:41:44 <atriq> Then I ought to install Windows on my other computer
15:41:55 <atriq> So I can play games with my friends

15:53:31 <itidus21> this could be the biggest thing ever
15:53:57 <itidus21> disaffected windows 8 users might flock to steam to play games without paying for windows updates and malware
15:54:35 <atriq> I don't think there's enough Windows 8 users for any of them to be disaffected
15:55:24 <FreeFull> The valve linux blog only has two things on it right now
15:55:26 <itidus21> when people hear "you can play all your favorite games on a free OS which isn't owned by a corporation"
15:55:56 <atriq> "I'm used to Windows"
15:56:03 <itidus21> but this is absoluetly massive @_@
15:56:10 <atriq> (actual vaguely correct use of quote marks)
15:56:22 <itidus21> this could be like the killer app on linux
15:56:50 <FreeFull> And Valve is getting the graphics card manufacturers to improve the drivers
15:57:04 <itidus21> somehow i inferred that would happen
15:57:47 <itidus21> i admit it won't get me to jump off winxp
15:57:51 <zzo38> But does it let you to connect between Linux and Windows computers? And other computers too?
15:58:31 <atriq> zzo38, you can already connect Windows and Mac
15:58:46 <atriq> If you couldn't connect Linux Valve are dicks
15:59:29 <itidus21> well.. i hope gabe can be trusted with this kind of power
16:00:05 <itidus21> steam isn't exactly rights-friendly
16:04:29 <itidus21> maybe one day microsoft will be reduced to selling apps for linux
16:04:59 <itidus21> i meant to say my speculation isn't very useful
16:11:50 <kmc> it's adorable that people still think the big software freedom fight is with Microsoft over control of the desktop
16:12:25 <atriq> When the real villain is General Mills
16:12:37 <kmc> that's right
16:13:59 <atriq> The question is...
16:14:13 <atriq> Is that the truth, or an obscure Homestuck reference?
16:15:33 <atriq> (4 points if you can tell me how it's a Homestuck reference, because it is)
16:17:41 <Phantom_Hoover> General Mills is presumably isomorphic to Betty Crocker.
16:25:25 <itidus21> kmc: well i remember your comments about this now, vaguely, and the main thing about the mobile/portable/touchpad war seems to be about patents and ridiculous lawsuits
16:25:37 <itidus21> basically a clusterfuck of courtcases
16:26:26 <itidus21> each of which paints a picture of the future

17:52:40 <Gregor> And “see” in that context is synonymous with “foresee”
17:53:28 <Gregor> Phantom_Hoover: Yes, it is. Plenty of people use it like that. Maybe not in the UK *shrugs*

17:57:51 <Gregor> For TF2?! OK, admittedly, I don't have TF2, but IIRC that's based on the same engine as HL2, and I have a few games that use that engine (including HL2), all of which run beautifully.

17:59:02 <Phantom_Hoover> It's setup-dependent of course but the last time I tried to get help off the Wine guys they were snippy and refused to do anything because I was trying a pirate copy.

18:06:10 <itidus21> what with it's voice chats and multiplayer and achievements, and dlc, and drm
18:07:20 <itidus21> what would be even cooler is on-chip dlc
18:08:00 <Gregor> “This Intel chip does not ship with SSE3 support, but by using this $50 DLC, you can enable it!”
18:08:26 <Gregor> The download is a 2KB .exe file. It just twiddles some bits and shows a progress bar.
18:08:40 <Gregor> Most of the progress bar time is taken by sleep(), just to make you think it's doing something.

19:33:11 <zzo38> In chess when the rules were less precise someone once promoted a pawn into an opponent's piece, and castled a promoted rook, which are not supposed to be allowed. But a variant can be made which allows such things?
19:35:25 -!- oerjan has joined.
19:41:54 <Arc_Koen> I think you should be glad everybody play with the same rules
19:42:06 <atriq> zzo38 and kallisti don't
19:42:08 <oerjan> no i want different rules dammit!
19:42:13 <Arc_Koen> in the game of go there are always problems in international tournaments as to which rule to use
19:42:22 <oerjan> wait, we're talking about life, right?
19:42:37 <olsner> no, we seem to be discussing the last xkcd
19:42:47 <zzo38> Arc_Koen: Well, yes, you have to play by the rules of whatever game you are playing. But of course you can play a different game (as long as all players (and tournament official, if applicable) agrees).
19:43:18 <Arc_Koen> well, the rules are very similar but people have disagreements regarding details
19:43:21 <oerjan> that xkcd reminded me of zzo38's chess variants
19:43:52 <olsner> which is what we were actually talking about
19:44:07 <olsner> it was something about chess
19:44:23 <Arc_Koen> and promoting a pawn into an opponent piece sounds like something that can be useful in very, very specific and rare situations only, so saying it's a different game is a bit of a stretch
19:44:26 <zzo38> I wrote all description of REVER esolang except the streams. I don't know exactly how it should work, but my idea is at least: Streams are (usually finite) queues of integers. Input streams are normally read-only and output streams are write-only. Streams operations can also be piped with other streams. Other than that, I don't know.
19:45:20 <olsner> piping a stream back into itself sounds like it could do something
19:46:52 <zzo38> Arc_Koen: Well, it is a variant of chess without a lot of new uses. I did not mean these are the only different rules; there can be others too, such as it doesn't matter if the king and rook has moved yet, but the king has to be on K1 and the rook on QR1, KR1, or K8. And then you can have more such as promoting only to lost pieces, sometimes miss a turn if you play the right card, etc
19:47:06 <olsner> oh, REVER has other things besides streams
19:47:26 <zzo38> olsner: I did not mean to itself, and I don't even know if that would work with the various restrictions REVER is supposed to have.
19:47:34 <quintopia> is there an esolang where the only fundamental objects are queues of bits?
19:48:30 <zzo38> There is a esolang where the objects are queues of references of queues. And I think cyclic tag machines uses a queue of bits.
19:48:35 <oerjan> <zzo38> yinYang = join $ liftA2 runCT (getCC <* lift (putChar '\n')) (getCC <* lift (putChar '*'));
19:48:47 <Arc_Koen> so we're definitely not talking about regular chess are we? I might need more context then
19:49:03 <atriq> I think we're talking about everything at once
19:49:18 <zzo38> atriq: Yes, like it is often the case in IRC.
19:49:23 <olsner> Arc_Koen: no, we're talking about queues of bits
19:49:23 <zzo38> oerjan: What about that?
19:50:09 <oerjan> is that the same as yinyang? it looks closer to the unlambda ``.*`cd`r`cd program. although maybe that _is_ also yinyang
19:50:25 <oerjan> i somehow assumed the use of let* in the scheme complicated things
19:50:33 <zzo38> oerjan: Yes I think that Unlambda program is also yinyang.
19:50:35 <quintopia> what is the language with queues of queues
19:51:00 <zzo38> quintopia: Q-Ref (one of my own) has queues of references of queues.
19:51:24 <atriq> Fueue has queues which can contain queues
19:51:29 <olsner> tried to google fueue and found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_piracy
19:51:42 <zzo38> oerjan: This does the same thing too. Do you know the definition of runCT and getCC which I used (or perhaps you can figure out by yourself)?

19:59:41 <lambdabot> Not in scope: type constructor or class `Flip'
20:02:52 <zzo38> I think <- is a reserved word in Haskell
20:03:03 <oerjan> that's what the oh right was for
20:03:33 <oerjan> i suspect lambdabot may not have a type allowing this to be written
20:03:53 <lambdabot> Not in scope: data constructor `Fix'
20:03:56 <zzo38> What do you try to write? Write your own types (even if lambdabot cannot use it).
20:03:58 <lambdabot> Not in scope: data constructor `Mu'
20:04:39 <oerjan> zzo38: i already know how to write it, i'm more interested in seeing if lambdabot can accept it
20:05:13 <zzo38> I want to know what it is though. What are you trying to make?
20:05:46 <oerjan> it needs a = a -> m b afaik
20:06:24 <zzo38> It is like what I used, with a newtype wrapper, with the field named runCT

20:26:24 <atriq> I just didn't see a solution immediately
20:26:30 <atriq> Is there an obvious one?

20:27:27 -!- FreeFull_ has changed nick to FreeFull.
20:27:35 <oerjan> well i'd do something like n (\(x,y) -> (y, x+1)) (0,0) with pairs expanded
20:28:30 <atriq> Oh, I see how that works
20:28:49 <oerjan> yours isn't the same? it looks pair-based too

20:29:49 <atriq> Otherwise it doesn't

21:00:41 <oerjan> Arc_Koen: it's a page with a slash in its title; subpages get an automatic link back to the top
21:01:19 <oerjan> compare e.g. http://esolangs.org/wiki/User:Zzo38/FurryScript (on esolang, User: namespace has subpages but not main namespace)
21:02:21 <Arc_Koen> also what the hell is "if n % 1 == 0:" for, at the beginning of the code? I thought the remainder of a euclidian division by 1 was always 0.
21:02:42 <zzo38> That is not the only user subpage and I am not the only one who has it, but that is one example.

21:04:41 <oerjan> Arc_Koen: don't worry, lambdabot dying was just my bad karma.
21:05:01 <Arc_Koen> is that an incentive for me to stop talking to you? :(
21:06:06 <oerjan> hm a tricky question. i don't fully understand how my karma works, or else it wouldn't be so bad...
21:06:54 <oerjan> Arc_Koen: oh hm i remember: the n may not be an integer.
21:07:24 <Arc_Koen> so "in case it's not an integer, multiply it by ten"?
21:07:48 <Arc_Koen> oh, you mean it can be a decimal
21:08:04 * Arc_Koen thought it could be a string or whatever other kind of data
21:08:51 <oerjan> right, although i am somewhat worried if that will always terminate... oh wait it will, although the number may be misrepresented
21:09:18 <oerjan> say 0.1 is not perfectly representable in binary
21:09:33 <oerjan> but whatever 0.1 is replaced with, will be.
21:09:54 * oerjan swats lambdabot in absentia -----###
21:10:45 <oerjan> what i really mean is that it might not always calculate the same as summing the digits in the original string
21:13:15 <Arc_Koen> well thank you and have a good night!

22:35:42 <olsner> or, as the gerbil crew would say: squeak

22:50:59 <Phantom__Hoover> You can disable individual fuel tanks and maybe try and rebalance it a bit, but that's all.
22:51:54 <Phantom__Hoover> Also you can jettison stages if they take minor damage and try and get by on what's left; that's what I had to do after the ascent stage broke.
22:52:34 <Phantom__Hoover> EVA's not very developed yet though, it's mostly just there to look cool.
22:52:58 <Phantom__Hoover> It does allow crew transfers and walking around on moons though.
22:53:04 <kmc> can you rig together an adapter between systems manufactured by different contractors out of duct tape?
22:54:28 <Phantom__Hoover> And now comes the harrowing process of trying to actually rendezvous with anything from the ridiculous orbit I've put myself in.
