00:15:37 <quintopia> if you like writing lots of HDL code
00:20:56 <zzo38> The only HDL codes I have written are FamicomHDL, although I have read Verilog codes for the Amber processor core and for other things.
00:22:14 <kmc> what's FamicomHDL?

00:26:20 -!- Phantom__Hoover has joined.
00:26:41 <zzo38> Even though NROM is the simplest mapper (well, almost; there is a simpler one that has neither CHR ROM nor CHR RAM), you still need ten lines of code to program it.
00:27:51 <zzo38> And of course you also need to import (or define) functions such as makeROM, connects, cpuAddress, etc
00:28:59 <zzo38> There are other hardware description languages, I do not know a lot about them. I know a few things of Verilog since I have read the codes to implement the Amber processor core.

01:22:51 <kmc> that is a pretty vague question though
01:23:00 <kmc> whatcha whatcha whatcha want
01:25:56 <elliott> well i thought i figured out what i wanted
01:25:58 <elliott> but then i became less sure
01:26:21 <elliott> what i am wondering is how the hell do you communicate with tcp_diag from wizmode
01:26:38 <elliott> kernel docs for /proc/net/tcp{,6} say that they are deprecated in favour of tcp_diag
01:26:45 <elliott> but i have no idea how to use it and google is no help
01:26:50 <elliott> maybe i should read the docs or something
01:27:10 <elliott> ps what i am trying to do is figure out the UID of the owner of a TCP connection
01:27:37 <kmc> i have no idea what that is
01:28:14 <kmc> tcp_diag or wizmode
01:28:59 <kmc> netstat -p will give you PIDs
01:29:27 <elliott> i am trying to do it programmatically
01:29:30 <elliott> maybe i will look at netstat's source
01:29:49 <kmc> they are probably terrifying though
01:29:58 <kmc> sometimes when i want to see how a program does its magic, i use strace
01:30:06 <elliott> i hear something about tcp_diag using netlink sockets
01:30:11 <elliott> i don't know how to use netlink sockets
01:30:18 <elliott> i barely even know what netlink sockets are!
01:30:27 <kmc> a trainwreck
01:31:05 <shachaf> strace: greater program or greatest program
01:31:25 <kmc> the linux developers decided that there aren't enough ways for userspace to communicate with the kernel (you know, every system call and every file in procfs or sysfs or debugfs) and so there should be a special socket type for communicating with the kernel as well
01:31:57 <kmc> oh i forgot "every device file" and "every ioctl on every device file"
01:32:32 <kmc> they couldn't even be like "here's a UNIX socket with the kernel on the other end"
01:32:38 <elliott> kmc: okay well this sounds like a distinct regression from /proc/net/tcp, yes
01:32:42 <kmc> it has to be a new socket type which behaves mostly like UNIX sockets
01:32:44 <shachaf> «Netlink was designed for and is used to transfer miscellaneous networking information between the Linux kernel space and user space processes.»
01:32:45 <kmc> but not quite

01:47:21 <elliott> kmc: so tell me about using netlink
01:50:11 <ais523> hmm, I reckon that in messages that are clearly mostly out of the ASCII range
01:50:23 <ais523> debuggers should escape every character, rather than just unprintable characters
01:50:32 <ais523> because it almost certainly isn't ASCII, and consistent presentation is useful
01:51:15 <coppro> I like the approach of "display as a string if it contains no unprintable characters, as a list of numbers otherwise
01:51:39 <ais523> well if you have a long run of printable characters
01:51:41 <ais523> you want to display as text
01:51:46 <ais523> in case it's binary data with embedded text
01:53:39 <ais523> but I don't like options very much, and in that case it'd slow me down to have to set it
01:53:59 <ais523> there's enough information for the computer to work it out automatically in this case
01:54:05 <ais523> so I shouldn't have to tell it what to do
01:54:34 <coppro> next you're going to tell me you're working on boehm GC
01:55:11 <ais523> no, I'm not, is there something wrong with it that I'd need to fix?
01:55:52 <coppro> just the "it looks like a duck, so it's a duck" argument is similar
01:56:31 <ais523> oh, you mean how it looks for things that might be pointers

02:31:02 <kmc> if you want to read 3000 lines of uncommented C code then I recommend you read Ksplice instead, it's a lot more interesting
02:32:04 <elliott> kmc: but does it solve my problem
02:32:08 <kmc> smoking salvia is like that TNG episode "The Inner Light" except that the dead civilization that possesses Picard is a race of ten-dimensional hexagons
02:42:21 <elliott> IMO kmc should write this code for me
02:44:26 <kmc> as your attorney i advise you to take a hit of some 20x salvia
02:44:40 <kmc> perhaps it will fix your netlink sockets
02:45:11 <elliott> i hear salvia is awful though
02:45:30 <copumpkin> I hear people react very differently to it
02:45:37 <copumpkin> I tried sucking on the leaves for a bit and it was disgusting
02:45:41 <kmc> it's pretty terrifying
02:45:48 <kmc> n.b. you should not heed my legal advice
02:45:53 <kmc> i am not a real attorney
02:46:10 <kmc> even though i do use latin abbreviations like "n.b."
02:46:36 <kmc> nota bene!
02:47:15 <elliott> kmc: none of your advice so far has been legal though
02:47:18 <shachaf> kmc: Did you know the Hebrew letters for "P. S." are N B?
02:47:42 <copumpkin> shachaf: that sounds confusing. They should've designed hebrew better
02:47:48 <elliott> actually is salvia still legal
02:48:06 <shachaf> I'm pretty sure sage is legal.
02:48:08 <copumpkin> I bought a tube of it in boston a couple of years ago
02:48:17 <copumpkin> shachaf: there are many varieties of salvia *
02:48:45 <shachaf> As long as any of them are legal, you can say that salvia is legal.
02:49:36 <kmc> yeah always amused by people who go to home depot and buy the first plant that says "salvia" on the label and try to smoke it
02:49:55 <kmc> i should grow some herbs
02:49:59 <kmc> best way to have fresh herbs
02:50:08 <shachaf> Why would you smoke drugs?
02:50:10 <kmc> oh and the oyster mushrooms may not be doomed after all
03:00:06 <elliott> http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg214494.html
03:00:10 <elliott> so tcpdiag is itself deprecated

04:07:01 <shachaf> [19:42] shachaf will look into it later.
04:07:06 <shachaf> This is me looking into it.
04:08:53 <elliott> i don't have commit rights
04:09:20 <shachaf> I don't quite like the holesOf solution.
04:11:22 <elliott> I forget how sizeof works.
04:11:24 <elliott> When does it require sizeof?
04:11:27 <elliott> When does it require parens?
04:11:42 <elliott> Or does it need to be "sizeof(value)"? And is that actually "sizeof (value)"?
04:11:55 <shachaf> sizeof isn't a function or function-alike.
04:12:02 <elliott> ISTR you need parens sometimes.
04:12:14 <shachaf> You can think of it as the sizeof the cast, I guess.
04:12:21 <shachaf> Or something, I don't know.
04:12:33 <shachaf> Anyway values don't need parentheses.
04:13:53 <kmc> C syntax is pretty wacky
04:14:05 <kmc> there isn't that much of it, but there are some strange bits
04:14:16 <kmc> "declaration follows use" is just dumb
04:15:55 <elliott> kmc: Is it portable to do struct { struct nlmsghdr blah; struct my_actual_request req; }? And then use &thatstruct in an iovec.
04:16:02 <elliott> Like, can't padding mess that up?
04:16:09 <elliott> Or does Linux guarantee it's OK?
04:16:26 <shachaf> elliott: what are you doing !!
04:17:49 <kmc> hey this lens library has some pretty nice documentation
04:18:06 <comex> elliott: if you want to be sure, use __attribute__((packed))
04:18:59 <kmc> almost certainly not needed, but if nothing else, it documents that you have made this assumption
04:19:01 <zzo38> Can the TOGA computer be implemented using a 74163 IC?
04:20:18 <comex> kmc: it could be needed if the struct starts with a 64-bit integer
04:20:40 <comex> only because nlmsghdr happens to be aligned though
04:20:44 <kmc> i'm just suspecting that nlmsghdr... yeah
04:20:55 <kmc> for more or less these reasons
04:21:00 <comex> actually, I guess nlmsghdr itself would be declared packed in that case
04:21:09 <comex> well, it wouldn't make a difference
04:22:22 <kmc> suspecting that its size is a multiple of the largest alignment gcc will force on struct fields
04:22:25 <kmc> but not sure
04:22:30 <kmc> anyway yeah use 'packed'
04:24:39 <shachaf> Oh, are you reading the lens documentation?
04:25:08 <shachaf> People say it needs a lot more documentation.
04:25:41 <shachaf> One day I'll know all the lens operators.
04:25:41 <kmc> well it has more than "here are the functions and their extremely polymorphic types"
04:26:08 <shachaf> Most places it has "here are the functions and five different specializations of their extremely polymorphic types"
04:26:20 <elliott> <comex> elliott: if you want to be sure, use __attribute__((packed))
04:26:22 <elliott> comex: that's so unportable :(
04:26:25 <shachaf> I thought that was a Python-only thing.
04:26:28 <kmc> there's doctest for haskell now?
04:26:44 <kmc> elliott: eh, it works on GCC and every compiler that imitates GCC
04:26:48 <elliott> comex: I guess the struct is guaranteed to work iff nlmsghdr works though
04:26:53 <shachaf> So those example are actual tests.
04:26:58 <kmc> which is all the compilers you might use on Linux really
04:27:02 <elliott> so I suppose I will skip doing the whole copying-memory nonsense to do it "properly"
04:27:55 <comex> elliott: pragma pack is more portable, i believe, in case you somehow need to compile it with MSVC
04:28:03 <zzo38> I would like to see an implementation of Checkout in some hardware description language. (Possibly also make a compiler to make a binary, which this implemented hardware then runs.)

07:42:01 <Sgeo> Don't care what they're called, just about their mutability.
07:42:11 <Sgeo> Isn't Erlang supposed to use immutable stuff?
07:43:11 <coppro> Sgeo: you are confusing values with variable
07:43:19 <coppro> Erlang does not have mutable variables
07:43:27 <Sgeo> "Keep in mind that records (as any other data structure) in Elixir are immutable. "
07:43:43 <coppro> Haskell does not have mutable variables either
07:44:54 <Sgeo> Oh, I understand. They're immutable.

09:09:16 <atriq> elliott, in Brogue, is it possible to give allies instructions?
09:10:17 <elliott> atriq: no but you can swap with them which is helpful... the closest thing is that when they're ready to learn a new ability you can herd them to the tile where a monster recently died and they'll learn from that one
09:10:32 <elliott> (but they find such a square without your assistance anyway, it just lets you pick which one sometimes)
09:10:43 <elliott> allies take care of themselves fairly well generally
09:11:10 <atriq> So I can't say "Oi, friendly monkey! Go round there so that monkey that nicked my enhancement scroll can't escape!"
09:11:35 <elliott> do you want a tip for dealing with monkeys
09:11:43 <atriq> That would be nice
09:11:46 <elliott> throw darts at them until they die
09:12:00 <atriq> What if they steal your darts
09:12:05 <elliott> oh sometimes they steal your darts but you can just drop your darts before they steal and then pick up the darts afterwards. i don't do that
09:12:10 <elliott> if monkeys steal my darts what i do is i quit and start again
09:12:52 <atriq> Can you give me a tip about bloats
09:12:55 <elliott> here is a free bonus tip about acid amounds: unequip your armour and weapon to fight them and then put it back on afterwards
09:13:09 <elliott> the normal kind you can just pop and then walk out of the cloud and rest until it goes away
09:13:14 <atriq> And any other ones I haven't seen
09:13:17 <elliott> other kinds you want to use darts
09:13:35 <elliott> darts are useful with regular bloats too actually, since if one is close to other monsters you can kill it and the gas will hurt all the other dudes
09:13:54 <Jafet> With all the names changed around
09:14:09 <monqy> it's nethack but we just call it brogue because we're speaking in code
09:14:14 <elliott> atriq: ps by acid amounds i mean acid mounds
09:14:28 <shachaf> monqy: "want a fun project"
09:14:43 <shachaf> who can i give this fun project to !
09:16:07 <atriq> elliott, can you give me a hint about pink jellies
09:16:35 <Sgeo> What project, and why do I have a feeling it will be lens related?
09:17:00 <shachaf> Actually there are two projects.
09:17:11 <shachaf> https://github.com/ekmett/lens/issues/80
09:17:28 <atriq> shachaf, I would but I'm fixing semigroupoids
09:17:36 <shachaf> atriq: What is there to fix?
09:17:38 <monqy> atriq: you can fight them in corridors or backed up into a dead end or something. the idea is that you can only be adjacent to 2 or 1 or so. another tech is to position the jelly so its spawns are more likely to end up behind it instead of behind you
09:17:42 <elliott> <atriq> elliott, can you give me a hint about pink jellies
09:17:47 <elliott> atriq: the easiest way is: get to a door
09:17:55 <shachaf> "semigroupoids: the simplest thing in the world?"
09:17:59 <atriq> shachaf, Documentation for Data.Functor.Extend
09:18:01 <elliott> hit the jelly until it spawns behind you, then kill that spawn and continue hitting the original one
09:18:07 <elliott> atriq: you can do it without a corner like this but it's really the easiest
09:18:17 <elliott> since jellies can spawn in three spaces (to the sides of the corner)
09:18:21 <elliott> but they can't hit you diagonally around a corner
09:18:29 <elliott> you can only get hit by two at once because of how corners work
09:18:46 * Sgeo has no idea what Bazaar is
09:18:52 <elliott> atriq: basically though just fight them not in the open
09:19:01 <atriq> That is a good tip
09:19:20 <monqy> atriq: more tip: if you light them on fire and then they split their splits will be on fire too
09:19:32 <elliott> i have a goblin conjurer tip too if you haven't figured those out yet!!
09:19:44 <monqy> atriq: more tip: if you discord them and split their splits will be discorded and kill each other
09:20:02 <elliott> the most common thing: finding discord while you have jelly problems
09:20:25 <monqy> elliott: is this the tip where you back up into a cirroidor so it summons stuff behind itself thus trapping itself
09:20:27 <elliott> atriq: if you chase them before they summon then they won't summon they'll just run away from you. so if you chase them into a corridor (not open space) like this .@.g.
09:20:35 <elliott> atriq: and press z (to skip turns) until it summons
09:20:39 <elliott> then some of the blades will go in front of it
09:20:41 <elliott> and some will go behind it
09:20:43 <elliott> so you can kill the one in front of it
09:20:49 <elliott> and it won't be able to run because it'll have its blades behidn it
09:21:02 <monqy> i take that as a "yes"
09:21:04 <elliott> monqy: no it's an entirely different tip
09:22:27 <shachaf> like "shut up if you know what's good for you"
09:22:55 <monqy> Happiness is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.
09:24:35 <shachaf> Death is not *anything*... Death is... Not. It's the absence of presence, nothing more. the endless time of never coming back.
09:25:55 <elliott> monqy: have you noticed fewer runic stuff than before in 1.7 btw
09:26:05 <monqy> It's Never Too Late For Good Things To Happen!
09:26:16 <monqy> uhh i only played 1.7 ....twice?

09:30:33 <Jafet> I thought Death was like http://www.vamp.org/Gothic/Images/images/death2.gif
09:31:21 <shachaf> Jafet: Do you suppose Death could be a boat?
09:32:07 <shachaf> Guildenstern: No, no, no... death is not. Death isn't. Take my meaning? Death is the ultimate negative. Not-being. You can't not be on a boat.
09:32:10 <shachaf> Rosencrantz: I've frequently not been on boats.
09:32:13 <shachaf> Guildenstern: No, no... what you've been is not on boats.
09:33:43 <shachaf> Rosencrantz: Did you ever think of yourself as actually dead, lying in a box with a lid on it?
09:33:48 <shachaf> Rosencrantz: Nor do I, really. It's silly to be depressed by it. I mean, one thinks of it like being alive in a box. One keeps forgetting to take into account the fact that one is dead, which should make all the difference, shouldn't it? I mean, you'd never know you were in a box, would you? It would be just like you were asleep in a box. Not that I'd like to sleep in a box, mind you. Not without any air. You'd wake up dead, for a start, and ...
09:33:54 <shachaf> ... then where would you be? In a box. That's the bit I don't like, frankly. That's why I don't think of it. Because you'd be helpless, wouldn't you? Stuffed in a box like that. I mean, you'd be in there forever, even taking into account the fact that you're dead. It isn't a pleasant thought. Especially if you're dead, really. Ask yourself, if I asked you straight off, "I'm going to stuff you in this box. Now, would you rather be alive or ...
09:34:00 <shachaf> ... dead?" Naturally, you'd prefer to be alive. Life in a box is better than no life at all, I expect. You'd have a chance, at least. You could lie there thinking, "Well. At least I'm not dead. In a minute somebody is going to bang on the lid, and tell me to come out." [bangs on lid] "Hey, you! What's your name? Come out of there!"
09:34:08 <shachaf> Guildenstern: I think I'm going to kill you.
09:34:10 <shachaf> elliott: "is that what you feel like sometimes"
09:34:14 <monqy> Listen to yourself more often
09:34:35 <monqy> Your way of doing what other people do their way is what makes you special.

18:20:43 <quintopia> do you like projects? i have a small project for you
18:21:02 <Phantom_Hoover> i just watched a video where someone describes fpses as turing-complete simulations
18:21:22 <quintopia> that kind of statement requires proof!
18:21:33 <quintopia> zzo38: a random NPC generator for D&D
18:21:53 <Phantom_Hoover> an eodermdrome interpreter that runs a random npc generator
18:23:22 <oklopol> turing complete simulations?
18:24:05 <kmc> FreeFull: you have quite the knack for stating the obvious
18:24:41 <oklopol> there was a paper on arxiv some weeks or days or something ago where they spent proved that a problem's decidable. there are something like 100 different inputs.
18:25:10 <oklopol> turing complete simulations of bullets? mario has that?
18:25:18 <zzo38> quintopia: Yes, well, actually I was intending to make some random NPC generator for D&D too.
18:25:45 <zzo38> You could use FurryScript for some of these functions too.
18:26:10 <Phantom_Hoover> maybe the bullet bills are actually the head and the world is a turing machine
18:26:22 <ais523> <FreeFull> Assuming 32-bit, that's a byte ← I think the whole point is that it adapts for bitwidth
18:27:08 <ais523> <kmc> why was it hard to determine why it was failing? ← because any attempt to invoke a syscall causes a SIGKILL immediately before the syscall would happen, meaning it can't be observed by debuggers; the fact is logged but the log is only accessible by root, and I didn't have root on the machine
18:27:25 <ais523> (the eventual method of determining the problem was to copy everything onto a machine where I did have root, and run it there)
18:27:45 <kmc> oh that sucks
18:27:49 <kmc> so you can't see the failure in strace
18:28:22 <kmc> in that situation i might resort to putting a breakpoint on every glibc syscall wrapper (assuming those are being used)
18:30:08 <zzo38> ais523: Do you know how to implement Checkout with hardware description language?
18:32:08 <zzo38> quintopia: It could be, have list of creature types with level adjustment, racial HD, ability score adjustment, and what further feature need randomly defined, when input range of level and further constraint and it will make it up at random. I could add feature in FurryScript for external constraint and this kind of things, might be useful for other purposes too.
18:33:39 <quintopia> zzo38: there's this one that does character sheet with a little bit of fluff: http://chaoticshiny.com/full4e.php
18:33:51 <quintopia> but what i want is a complete personality specification
18:34:08 <zzo38> I don't know all of personality specification either, but you can try something.
18:34:42 <quintopia> i would want something that works for any edition, because it's...hmmm
18:34:43 <ais523> <kmc> so you can't see the failure in strace ← yeah, that's the first thing I tried, but it doesn't work
18:35:16 <zzo38> quintopia: For personality description, should work for anything, even if not D&D. You could try working something with FurryScript, perhaps, ask for help if you want.
18:35:24 <zzo38> I don't know a lot about personality description, sorry.
18:36:42 <zzo38> Still, constraint would be useful, for example if you want to constrain the Strength score to greater than ten, or if you want no goblins, or if you want to generate a pair with opposite alignments or no shared skills or whatever.
18:37:09 <zzo38> Well, you could have that too, then.
18:37:10 <quintopia> a constraint system i'd like to see it
18:37:24 <quintopia> "more loyal" or "more paranoid" or "more greedy"
18:37:40 <quintopia> and then it tells how they react to certain thins
18:37:45 <zzo38> I was just giving examples; of course if you want only goblins you could do that too and probably simplify it greatly since you need not indicate ability score adjustment for all other kind of creatures too.
18:38:42 <zzo38> quintopia: I am not so good at those things though. Constraint I could do, but not like "more loyal" and so on; I don't know a lot about the personality specification, as I have said.
18:39:51 <zzo38> (Currently, FurryScript only supports constraint for no duplicates built-in, although others can be implemented using combination of other built-in commands; the BAD and HOR commands are meant for helping with this too.)
18:39:57 <quintopia> something like this would be perfect if it were fantasy oriented: http://selfpublishingteam.com/chargen/ya/ya_show.php?key=3i4qiugb3q&name=
18:40:29 <quintopia> is there a fully specified document for furryscript
18:40:50 <zzo38> quintopia: Only the document on Esolang wiki, and the source codes.
18:41:06 <zzo38> If you have specific questions though, and I find that something is missing in the document, we can add it.

19:10:23 <Sgeo> *mutable objects
19:10:44 <zzo38> quintopia: Well, does it work? Have you tried that? Have you tried FurryScript too? Have you tried anything else?
19:10:50 <kmc> iirc the earliest conceptions of OOP were based heavily on message passing
19:13:20 <kmc> i blame C++ for moving away from that
19:13:44 <Bike> smalltalk was, I think the things before it weren't so much
19:14:19 <kmc> in C++ and Java and such, you have have public data fields, which aren't like message passing

20:46:32 <zzo38> "tv_plot.txt" is a simple example. "furrygenerator_7thsanc.txt" is a more complicated example.
20:48:15 <quintopia> lifepath.txt seems rather like a character generator. i think it could be adapted.
20:48:32 <quintopia> i still don't quite understand what every part of the file is doing but i could study it.
20:48:46 <zzo38> Yes, you can make something based on that one. If there is some part you do not understand, you can ask about it specifically.
20:50:02 <quintopia> time. i need time to figure it out.
20:52:21 <zzo38> OK. But you can still ask if you have mroe questions/comments/suggestions/complaints, on the IRC or on the wiki.

22:30:07 <zzo38> I added a dice command in FurryScript.

22:33:20 <zzo38> They now accept things such as <4d6dl> DIC meaning four six-sided dice, and drop the lowest one, like used to generate random ability scores.

22:42:23 <kmc> i wonder how to take an arbitrary discrete probability distribution and come up with a dice expression for it
22:45:55 <kmc> http://phpjs.org/ just what i always wanted
22:46:15 <Bike> if you can do that with solomonoff's that would be a hell of a thing
22:47:17 <Bike> huh, php has bc in it. why?
22:48:12 <Bike> right. I supose that explains that "get gz header and strip html out of it" function too.
22:50:16 <zzo38> PHP has a lot of things in it
22:50:45 <zzo38> kmc: I don't know how to take an arbitrary discrete probability distribution and come up with a dice expression for it. However, FurryScript can work without dice expressions, too.
22:50:56 <zzo38> What example of some probability distribution do you mean?
22:51:08 <olsner> about probability distributions, there was an interesting discussion in #haskell-blah the other day about coin flips and huffman trees
22:52:25 <olsner> but I dunno how that relates to dice expressions since I don't know what those are
22:53:00 <zzo38> Something like 4d6 if you want four six-sided dice added together.
22:54:25 <olsner> I suspect dice might be like arithmetic/range coding
22:57:27 <zzo38> Well, I suppose you can Huffman code the probabilities of different dice totals, although I am unsure why such a things would be useful.
22:59:31 <olsner> I think the point was to get specific probability distributions .. and huffman goes nicely with coin flips because it's binary
23:00:16 <zzo38> quintopia: If you get working FurryScript program for what you are making, I would request (but not require) that you send me the file I could include it in the archive of available scripts of FurryScript.
23:03:25 <zzo38> olsner: Do you mean you want to toss a coin to generate the data and then uncompress it by Huffman?
23:03:36 <olsner> (but huffman only works for probabilities that are all multiples of 2^-n)
23:04:02 <olsner> nah, it's not that I *want* to, just that you can
23:04:33 <zzo38> I suppose you could use a generalize kind of Huffman which uses other base, than base 2 only. Possibly even change base at different points.
23:04:58 <olsner> yes, I think that gives you something similar to range encoding
23:05:27 <zzo38> If you allow it to be unlimited, you could use coin toss for 2/3 probability.
23:05:43 <zzo38> One way to do this is the way the DIGGER card works in Pokemon card.
23:06:20 <zzo38> Starting with you, you and opponent take turns toss a coin, until one player gets tails. Whoever gets tail add 1 damage to their own active Pokemon card.

23:08:14 <zzo38> I have calculated the probability to hit your own card 2/3

23:10:42 <olsner> oh, *you* start tossing? then that makes sense
23:11:19 <olsner> a bit evil for all the players who wouldn't realize that the card is more likely to hurt yourself than your opponent
23:12:25 <zzo38> Well, in some cases the chance that it will hit opponent is useful, and in some cases it is more useful to make it to hit yourself anyways.
23:16:03 -!- augur_ has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds).
23:21:24 <zzo38> For example, some cards have a RAGE attack which does damage according to the amount of your own damage, so in case it does one less damage than needed to knock out opponent's card, then if you use DIGGER card it is beneficial regardless of the result of coin toss.
