2012-11-01: 00:04:58 Area Man Constantly Mentioning He Doesn't Know Anything About Baseball 00:06:26 this is the one area where nerds -- usually a fairly intellectual lot -- are extremely proud of ignorance 00:06:33 is it so in all countries or just the USA? 00:08:13 well, outside USA and Japan *no-one* knows what baseball is 00:09:27 I suppose nerds might be more proud of that ignorance though 00:09:38 as opposed to simply not caring about it 00:09:52 well sports in general i mean 00:10:18 baseball's just on my mind because San Francisco won at baseball and now all the nerds in San Francisco are loudly proclaiming how much they don't know or care about baseball 00:10:37 they don't actually realise san fransisco won 00:10:46 it's just a coincidene 00:10:48 *c 00:10:52 what's san francisco? 00:11:02 hehe 00:11:04 olsner: some baseball thing i think 00:11:14 maybe it's a player? 00:12:40 i think it's a type of base 00:12:50 olsner: Some other countries play baseball. Japan managed to get other bits of Asia in on it, and it's apparently pretty common in the Carribean. 00:13:40 olsner: this clip will make it clear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElAcu-1dlPM 00:13:40 Also, I can't comment about the ignorance: I don't actively *follow* most sports, but I'm not exactly ignorant on them. 00:13:43 (nsfw language) 00:14:06 (hell, I've been known to nerd out on the origins of (American) football and its relation to other games) 00:14:38 * pikhq also enjoys watching football, so. *shrug* 00:14:51 yeah that's the irony (?) 00:14:54 sports fans are sports nerds 00:14:58 kmc, i never understood nsfw language 00:15:14 i mean ffs you shouldn't be listening to videos at work with speakers on 00:15:20 For the most part? Yeah, it's just nerding out about sports instead of something else. 00:15:59 nsfwu 00:16:04 Phantom__Hoover: people do though 00:16:05 beats me 00:16:16 it appears to have been fairly safe for wu though, so that's not funny 00:16:16 Especially given that for most spectator sports, 99% of the audience doesn't actually *do* the sport in question. 00:16:30 (in any capacity, obviously) 00:16:36 kmc: thanks, I think I understand san francisco now 00:16:42 baseball in particular is all about the stats and the obsessive knowledge of past games and teams 00:16:51 anyway 00:16:57 kmc, in that case your workplace is either so relaxed I can't believe someone's going to flip out over some cursing, or you deserve what's coming to you anyway. 00:17:22 And, yeah, baseball in particular is a land of statistical analysis. 00:17:35 brrrr stats 00:18:34 anyway i don't care if people care about baseball or are ignorant of baseball 00:19:22 You're just finding it an interesting cultural phenomenon. 00:19:46 That smarter people go "sports -- eeew" as a *rule*. 00:19:59 no what i mind is people who are conspicuous about their ignorance and proud of it 00:20:11 Aaah. Well. Yes, there is that. 00:20:18 Pride in ignorance is sad. 00:20:31 there's a rule that whenever spots are brought up, you have to be the loudest in proclaiming your utter contempt and ignorance of sports 00:20:33 q 00:20:35 lest you be branded as one of Them 00:20:56 this is one of the aspects of "nerd culture" which I think derives directly from middle school bullying or something 00:21:04 Probably. 00:21:26 elliott: r 00:21:31 s 00:21:37 hmm, I might end up having to watch the rest of deadwood now... all because of wu 00:21:40 ティ 00:21:59 olsner: can you explain san francisco to me? 00:22:02 i didn't watch the video 00:22:48 hey elliott go vote in the distributor election 00:22:58 elliott: I really can't do it as well as wu does 00:23:03 ;o 00:23:05 comex: isn't it all votes for you? 00:23:12 if i do that i'd have to like email taral though and ugh 00:23:14 Hey, go vote for President of the World. 00:23:25 pikhq: i vote comex 00:23:34 actually no 00:23:36 it's one vote for me, one vote for scshunt, one vote endorsing me, two present, endorse Google Groups, and denounce Google Groups :p 00:23:37 i vote olsner 00:23:47 comex: well i dont think anyone actually cares about the vote 00:23:49 deadwood is fucking brilliant 00:23:55 i'm not sure why you're even voting at all 00:24:00 yeah, I just don't want to arbitrarily declare myself the winner 00:24:14 comex: well you can arbitrarily declare yourself the winner by having taral decide you'd be good to give the lists :P 00:24:26 and I started a vote because I felt it was an appropriately Agoran way to do things :p 00:24:28 i guess i could vote for you though 00:24:32 but not right now, too lazy 00:24:50 comex: yw 00:25:01 is there anything a regex can do that a finite list of greedy string substitutions can't? 00:25:03 coppro: ? 00:25:07 comex: voted for you 00:25:12 elliott: But there's only Obama and Romney! 00:25:12 oh shit 00:25:15 i'll vote coppro then 00:25:20 hehe 00:28:10 elliott: but you already voted me 00:29:05 no this is for distributor silly 00:29:34 voting for sillies? 00:31:23 yes 00:32:05 -!- Arc_Koen has quit (Quit: Arc_Koen). 00:33:41 http://esolangs.org/wiki/Epsilo wow what a page 00:33:45 perhaps this should be deleted 00:35:02 pikhq: btw 00:35:12 pikhq: do you know why ctrl+alt+fN might not work to switch to vts 00:35:16 it's been like this a while for me! 00:36:32 -!- DH____ has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 00:36:37 -!- DHeadshot has joined. 00:37:38 hey elliott do you think i should follow this link to accounts-google-com-id189134acx-ssl-k-emailrenew77.idns.pl and put in my gmail password 00:37:43 seems legit right 00:37:54 kmc: yes 00:38:02 kmc: google is the most famous polish company 00:38:21 -!- augur has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds). 00:38:25 and it has ssl right there in the name! 00:38:28 secure! 00:39:06 and emailrenew77 ... if the previous 76 renews got lost, they might give up trying to renew your email any moment 00:40:54 -!- DHeadshot has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 00:40:59 -!- DH____ has joined. 00:44:07 kmc: do you know :( 00:44:16 do i know what 00:44:24 why ctrl+alt+fN might not work to switch to vts? 00:44:46 well if you've remapped those keys in X then you have to use the remapped ones 00:45:30 i haven't remapped them at all 00:45:32 they just don't do shit 00:47:30 Confirmation process complete..

I'm not so sure about that. 00:57:20 Is 30 a natural number? 00:57:31 Yes. 00:57:36 How about 32? 00:57:42 No. 00:57:48 What about 31? 00:57:53 Yes. 00:57:59 32 is quite unnatural indeed. 00:58:02 How about 31 + 1? 00:58:05 No. 00:58:12 Hmm... 00:58:22 Are the natural numbers closed under addition? 00:58:31 tswett: Are you thinking of the axiom "every natural number has a successor"? 00:58:38 That was mistranscribed from the original. 00:58:47 Oh? 00:58:49 The original is "every natural number (except 31) has a successor". 00:58:56 Indeed. 00:58:57 Ah. 00:59:03 So they are, in fact, not closed under addition? 00:59:13 That depends on what addition is. 00:59:21 31 has a successor 00:59:23 The mindblower is that the “31” in the original text is in base-8. 00:59:24 it's just not a natural successor 00:59:25 * tswett nods. 00:59:44 shachaf: I prefer wording it as "Every natural number that is not 31 has a successor" 00:59:51 so it's clear that it doesn't preclude 31 having a successor 01:00:01 coppro: No, that's not right. 01:00:05 31 *doesn't* have a successor. 01:00:10 Let's define n + 0 as n, and n + (the successor of m) as the successor of (n + m). 01:00:36 Then clearly 31 + 1 is undefined, since it would be the successor of 31. 01:00:51 tswett: Well, you have to prove that a natural number N isn't 31 before you can say things like "the successor of N" 01:00:58 Right. 01:01:04 Just like you have to prove it's not 0 before you can say "the predecessor of N". 01:01:21 elliott: fix my ghc bug :'( 01:01:37 no 01:01:58 Let's add another axiom. 01:02:11 elliott: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7364 01:02:42 btw zfc is inconsistent guys 01:02:42 There exists an operation @ such that for all natural numbers a, b, c, and d, if a @ b = c @ d, then a = c and b = d. 01:02:56 tswett.gimli.moed++ 01:03:02 tswett: that axiom looks rejectable 01:03:23 I dunno. Maybe it's consistent with the axioms we have so far. 01:03:30 elliott: dont wrorry!! hes not talking about @ 01:03:33 just "@" 01:03:58 shachaf: that isn't a funny joke though 01:04:11 uh oh 01:05:17 http://pastie.org/5147243 - I think these are the axioms we're dealing with. 01:05:22 kmc: Do you know much about accordions? 01:05:52 according to whom? 01:06:06 1 is zero, 2 is successors for n != 31, 3 is successors for n = 31, 4 is the predecessor of 0, 5 is that succession is a bijection, and 6 is the @ operation. 01:06:18 ≠ 01:07:11 I think this system might be inconsistent. 01:07:31 tswett: You just had to go and add that weird axiom, didn't you? 01:07:49 shachaf: well, yes. How else are we supposed to represent ordered pairs of natural numbers as natural numbers? 01:08:17 What's the type of @? 01:08:33 Nat -> Nat -> Nat, I guess. 01:08:41 Right, I should have specified that. 01:09:04 That doesn't make sense. :-( 01:09:19 i think @ is just fine 01:09:25 Consider the natural numbers 0 @ 0, 0 @ 1, 0 @ 2, ..., up through 0 @ 31, as well as 1 @ 0. Assume that 0 @ 0 = 0, 0 @ 1 = 1, 0 @ 2 = 2, ..., up through 0 @ 31 = 31. Then 1 @ 0 can't be any natural number, so we have a contradiction. 01:09:28 because tswett does not restrict natural numbers to 0 and successors of natural numbers 01:09:35 you know what's annoying 01:09:36 @ can just create natural numbers that are not the successor of anything 01:09:40 no? 01:09:43 elliott: oh, good point. 01:09:56 so for instance 01:09:59 it could give back 32 01:10:06 whereby 32 i mean the number that is not the successor of 31 01:10:13 So, 5? 01:10:19 5 is a number 01:10:24 If we *do* assume that every natural number is either 0 or the successor of a natural number, though, we simply have to go through all 32! permutations there, and we can show that our system is inconsistent. 01:10:28 So you get a different set of natural numbers depending on the left side of @ 01:10:28 And it's not the successor of 31. 01:10:34 tswett: but why would you assume that 01:10:40 are you trying to break mathematics??? 01:10:43 What is (0@1) + (1@0) 01:10:59 elliott: no, I'm trying to bend it as far as it will go without breaking it. 01:11:10 you guys are so boring :/ 01:12:03 Phantom__Hoover: Let's make things more interesting by defining a new esolang! 01:12:05 I'm thinking it'll have about 8 operations. 01:12:10 1@0 could be 0 + aleph 01:12:12 Not quite sure what they'll be yet. 01:12:17 Then 1@1 would be 1 + aleph 01:12:23 By aleph 01:12:28 By aleph I mean aleph zero 01:12:43 How about 2@0? 01:12:59 shachaf: One of them is @ 01:13:09 ion: What does @ do? 01:13:19 everything 01:13:30 2@0 would be 0 + theconstant + theconstant 01:13:38 Or 0 + 2*theconstant 01:13:56 shachaf: no 01:16:07 shachaf, supersedes all lesser operating systems and gives you a sensual massage 01:16:07 -!- DH____ has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 01:16:34 http://pastie.org/5147243 - okay, we've added an axiom and clarified an axiom. 01:16:38 This new system is inconsistent. 01:16:39 kmc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayan_(accordion) are pretty the future, huh? 01:16:41 1@0 is larger than any 0@x 01:16:49 2@0 is larger than any 1@x 01:16:51 So on 01:16:56 define larger 01:17:15 elliott: It's a type of beer, right? 01:17:15 tswett: Why are you only going up to 31? 01:17:28 FreeFull: well, how high would you go? 01:17:42 elliott: Like yo momma 01:17:46 elliott, suggn. @'s name should be bayan 01:17:52 tswett: I wouldn't have an upper limit 01:17:54 Phantom__Hoover: why 01:18:02 FreeFull: you can't just have all the integers. 01:18:08 accordion, that's why 01:18:10 that's greedy as fuck. people like you disgust me!! 01:18:18 Yeah, I mean, you have to stop *somewhere*. 01:18:34 elliott: I wonder if you could declare 31 as its own successor 01:18:43 that's just saturated arithmetic no 01:18:53 So let's see, how can we make our system consistent. 01:19:05 Where is the inconsistency? 01:19:12 The successor of 31 is 31.5. The successor of 31.5 is 31.75. 01:19:13 why use the boring old definition of consistency anyway 01:19:23 Currently, it's possible to prove that every natural number is equal to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, or 31. 01:19:36 And that none of these numbers are equal to each other. 01:20:15 And? 01:20:17 -!- DHeadshot has joined. 01:20:18 FreeFull: in http://pastie.org/5147243?

Axiom 6. There is a natural number a @ b, for all a and b. 01:23:59 tswett: But that doesn't say what the natural number would be 01:24:27 Well, see. Perhaps there exists a natural number, let's call it i, such that iterating the successor function on i never gets you a standard Chafian number, and iterating the successor function on a standard Chafian number never gets you i. 01:25:12 I don't think you can disprove that. 01:25:19 I think you are right 01:25:37 Let's call the non-standard Chafian number 33 01:25:57 Or maybe 32 01:26:17 I dunno. What would we call the predecessor of its predecessor? 01:26:42 I think we should just call it i. Then we can speak of numbers like i + 5, and i - 480, and so on. 01:26:57 shachaf: Sounds right. 01:27:07 Hmm, we can't have 32 without 3 and 7 conflicting 01:27:15 But maybe we could have i 01:27:58 i would have to be on a different ring 01:28:09 So, I think we have a model of these axioms. 01:28:48 But even with i 01:28:50 It's the set {0, 1, 2, ..., 31} union {i + n where n is an integer}, such that 0 and S are defined in the obvious ways, and then @ is defined just however. 01:28:54 Do you see any inconsistency? 01:29:07 No, these axioms are consistent. There's a model of them. 01:29:40 If there was an axiom stating there were only 32 chafian numbers, then it might be inconsistent 01:29:44 But as it stands 01:29:48 Right. 01:30:35 Now, this seems to raise a question: what is i + i? I don't think this model admits a consistent definition of addition. 01:30:59 Then again, neither does the set {0, 1, 2, ..., 31}. 01:31:15 a @ b could be defined as b + a*i 01:31:26 But then you need to define + and *. 01:31:30 Yeah 01:31:57 If you defined + in terms of successors 01:31:59 Hmm 01:32:03 Then it wouldn't work 01:34:42 So, what axioms do we want + to obey? 01:36:01 We want 0 + a = a + 0 = a. We want a + b = b + a, and (a + b) + c = a + (b + c). 01:36:17 And we want a + 1 = S(a) for all a ≠ 31. 01:37:06 Are these new axioms consistent? 01:37:42 We can now posit a Chafian number corresponding to every natural number. 01:37:47 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Quit: Leaving). 01:38:02 But all Chafian numbers corresponding to natural numbers 32 or greater are non-standard. 01:38:18 -!- augur has joined. 01:38:38 Hm, but does this work? 32 is not 0, so it has a predecessor. Call it P(32). 01:39:30 P(32) is clearly not 31. This means that P(32) + 1 = 32. However, 31 + 1 = 32 as well. 01:40:38 -!- elliott has joined. 01:40:46 tswett! 01:40:48 what are you doing! 01:41:16 augur: I'm trying to do as much math as I can with the Chafian numbers. 01:41:26 chafian numbers? 01:41:39 Yeah. "Natural numbers" as defined here: http://pastie.org/5147243 01:41:42 18:23 The natural numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 30, 31 01:42:07 So, it's impossible for + to satisfy zero-is-identity, commutativity, associativity, compatibility with the successor function, and bijectivity. 01:42:42 i dont follow 01:44:05 Well, the axioms at http://pastie.org/5147243 are consistent. 01:44:16 I'm trying to add more axioms, defining arithmetic and stuff. 01:44:44 tswett: There is no 31 + 1 01:44:53 Because there is no S(31) 01:45:27 im not sure these are truly consistent 01:45:28 tswett: where does the standard Z/32 arithmetic break down? 01:45:50 augur: I gave a model of it. 01:45:53 < tswett> It's the set {0, 1, 2, ..., 31} union {i + n where n is an integer}, such that 0 and S are defined in the obvious ways, and then @ is defined just however. 01:45:54 tswett: oh? 01:45:59 If P(0) was 32 and S(32) was 0 then it would be standard modular arithmetic 01:46:08 Other than the @ stuff 01:46:28 Oh yeah. I said that "32 is not 0, so it has a predecessor", but maybe 32 *is* 0. 01:46:29 tswett: well i suppose you could define trivial models like {*} 01:46:37 no that wouldnt work 01:46:41 {*,31} 01:46:53 tswett: 32 isn't 0 01:47:09 FreeFull: can you prove that? 01:47:29 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined. 01:47:31 You can't prove either way with these axioms 01:47:55 Whatever the definition of + is, 16+16 wouldn't be a standard Chafian number 01:48:43 We could forget about having + 01:48:45 btw 7 and 4 say the same thing 01:49:06 well, more or less 01:49:11 Aren't you contradicting yourself? You said you can't prove that 16 + 16 ≠ 0, but you also said that 16 + 16 is not a standard Chafian number, didn't you? 01:49:45 so 01:49:52 I am contradicting myself 01:49:58 {0,31} work for S(0) = 31 01:50:03 it satisfies up to 7 01:50:05 Obviously + is ill-defined right now 01:50:05 I am contracting m'self. 01:50:11 So you can't prove anything about it 01:50:15 6 is also definable 01:50:30 but lemme check if any @ can satisfy 8 01:52:06 http://pastie.org/5147243 - okay, here are our axioms now. 01:52:20 I'm pretty sure we can prove that 31 + 1 = 0. 01:52:43 You could define addition in following way: x + 0 = x x + y = S(x) + P(y) 01:53:40 hm 01:53:47 im confident, actually, that 8 is unsatisfiable 01:54:04 howso 01:54:10 Let 32 = 31 + 1. Suppose 32 ≠ 0; then, by axiom 7, the predecessor of 32, P(32), exists. By axiom 3, P(32) ≠ 31. Therefore, by axiom 14, P(32) + 1 = 32. This means that P(32) + 1 = 31 + 1, so, by axiom 15, P(32) = 31. This is a contradiction. 01:54:12 wel 01:54:16 Therefore, 31 + 1 = 0. 01:54:17 oh hm 01:54:18 pigeonhole, no? 01:54:24 tswett added 7 01:54:25 yeah pigeon hole i think will work 01:54:34 there are 32^2 pairs of natural numbers (a,b) 01:54:34 do you have the necessary infrastructure for pigeonhole though 01:54:41 do you have the necessary infrastructure for pigeonhole though 01:54:45 elliott: yes 01:54:47 elliott: yes 01:54:50 tswett: Those axioms don't state what happens when you have something like 3 + 4 01:54:52 that was at Phantom_Hoover 01:54:52 Axioms 1 through 8 are consistent. You can't prove that there are only 32 natural numbers. 01:55:01 Phantom_Hoover: actually there arent 32^2 pairs 01:55:02 ...ah 01:55:16 FreeFull: sure they do. 3 + 4 = 3 + (3 + 1) = (3 + 3) + 1. 01:55:18 theres (k+1)^2 pairs 01:55:23 for some choice of k 01:55:32 actually k+2 sorry 01:55:54 because the model might identify things that you dont identify in the axioms 01:55:54 tswett: so when augur said yes he actuall ymeant no 01:56:01 elliott: no, i meant yes 01:56:02 *actually meant 01:56:03 tswett: You didn't put anywhere that x + y = x + P(y) + 1 01:56:11 -!- Arc_Koen has joined. 01:56:18 augur: well i do not see how you can prove it from those axioms 01:56:25 FreeFull: yes, but I put somewhere that x + S(y) = x + y + 1. Axiom 14 says so. 01:56:43 14. For all a ≠ 31, a + 1 = S(a). 01:57:00 elliott: if there are (k+2)^2 pairs of numbers, and @ is an endomap on the (k+2) elements of Nat 01:57:09 augur: "if there are (k+2)^2 pairs of numbers" 01:57:09 Anyway, I think axioms 1 through 15 are no longer consistent. I think you can prove that i = i + 32, and that i ≠ i + 32. 01:57:10 then @ is not injective 01:57:14 augur: you cannot prove there are only 32 chafian numbers 01:57:15 going by those axoims 01:57:17 *axioms 01:57:18 afaict 01:57:22 elliott: i never said there were only 32 01:57:25 thats why i said k+2 01:57:27 keep up, kid 01:57:31 augur: so, there are infinitely many Chafian numbers. 01:57:32 augur: you cannot prove there are only N chafian numbers for any constant N 01:57:41 stop being condescending 01:57:58 elliott: and you need to stop not reading what i say 01:58:10 tswett: have fun 01:58:10 tswett: yes, thats true. if there's infinitely many it might work 01:58:14 wow no shit 01:58:19 elliott: thanks. 01:58:19 for finite N it pigeonholes 01:58:20 you think there being infinitely many might have been.... 01:58:21 the point??? 01:58:40 Proving that i = i + 32. That's easy: i = i + 0 and 0 = 32. 01:58:56 Where did you prove 0 = 32 01:59:03 tswett: there is no + in these axioms 01:59:21 FreeFull: 21:54:10 EDT. 01:59:28 augur: these axioms? http://pastie.org/5147243 01:59:36 What sort of bullshit time is EDT 01:59:36 Axioms 10 through 15 are about +. 01:59:43 FreeFull: I have no idea. 01:59:50 oh, you added some axioms, ok 01:59:52 21:54:10 < tswett> Let 32 = 31 + 1. Suppose 32 ≠ 0; then, by axiom 7, the predecessor of 32, P(32), exists. By axiom 3, P(32) ≠ 31. Therefore, by axiom 14, P(32) + 1 = 32. This means that P(32) + 1 = 31 + 1, so, by axiom 15, P(32) = 31. This is a contradiction. 01:59:52 i didnt see that 02:00:25 tswett: 32 doesn't = 31 + 1 though 02:00:43 Wait 02:00:47 Let me read the whole thing 02:01:22 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Quit: Leaving). 02:01:57 Okay, so, proving that i ≠ i + 32. We know that i + 32 = i + 1 + 1 + ... + 1, where there are 32 1s. Since all of those numbers are undefined, this means that i + 32 is the 32nd successor of i. 02:02:03 This means that i is the 32nd successor of itself. 02:02:08 tswett: You've proven that 32 ≠ 31 + 1 02:02:14 But not that 32 = 0 02:02:40 FreeFull: I said at the beginning, "Let 32 = 31 + 1". I think said "suppose 32 ≠ 0". I then derived a contradiction. 02:03:09 I believe this proves that 32 = 0. 02:03:49 So, i being the 32nd successor of itself. Is that actually impossible? 02:04:05 perfectly possible if 32 = 0, surely 02:04:30 tswett: anyway can't i just be S(i) 02:04:36 tswett: Ok, what you've proven is that either 32 = 0 or that 32 ≠ 31 + 1 02:04:37 i don't see that forbidden in the axioms 02:04:49 FreeFull: you do not seem to understand what a definition is 02:04:55 FreeFull: and 32 = 31 + 1 by definition; therefore, 32 ≠ 0. 02:04:55 the sequence of digits "32" has no meaning in itself. 02:05:00 tswett defined 32 as meaning 31 + 1. 02:05:06 Maybe i can be S(i). 02:05:06 tswett: The axioms don't state that 32 = 31 + 1 02:05:16 ok so you actually do not understand what a definition is 02:05:30 FreeFull: okay, replace 32 with 31 + 1 in this entire conversation, forever. 02:05:43 What I've proven is that either 31 + 1 = 0, or that 31 + 1 ≠ 31 + 1. 02:05:54 The axioms don't state anything about what 31 + 1 would be 02:06:08 he just proved what it is tho 02:06:10 using: the axioms 02:06:12 Okay, let me repeat my theorem a third time. 02:06:55 Suppose 31 + 1 ≠ 0; then, by axiom 7, the predecessor of 31 + 1, P(31 + 1), exists. By axiom 3, P(31 + 1) ≠ 31. Therefore, by axiom 14, P(31 + 1) + 1 = 31 + 1. This means that P(31 + 1) + 1 = 31 + 1, so, by axiom 15, P(31 + 1) = 31. This is a contradiction. 02:07:05 If 31 + 1 ≠ 31 + 1 then it could be not a Chafian number 02:07:33 Nor could it be anything whatsoever. 02:08:14 It's late at night 02:08:33 So it is. 02:08:47 tswett: your theorem has a flaw 02:08:47 tswett: how long until you have to specify the logic you're using 02:08:51 Let me take two 300-microgram tablets of melatonin. 02:08:54 elliott: first-order logic. 02:08:58 About six seconds. 02:09:23 coppro: it does? 02:10:25 tswett: Ok, ok, I see it 02:10:49 It's a contradiction because of axiom 3 02:11:25 But 02:12:07 no wait, you're right 02:12:52 tswett: Does this mean that all chafian numbers smaller than 0 or larger than 31 are equal to 0? 02:14:15 Does one of the axioms imply uniqueness or something like that? This might be used to prove that there are only 32 unique chafian numbers 02:14:56 define larger 02:15:18 Yeah, depends on how you define "larger". 02:15:26 x + 1 is larger than x 02:15:57 Actualyl 02:16:08 It wouldn't prove all chafian numbers are equal to zero 02:16:40 31 + 1 + 1 would be the same as 1, not the same as 0 02:17:41 All assuming 32 = 31 + 1 02:18:09 Actually, I can still see nonstandard chafian numbers 02:18:37 Let's see 02:19:24 "x + 1 is larger than x" isn't satisfied by any total orders, since 31 + 1 = 0. 02:20:34 eh, just well-order the thing 02:21:15 Suppose i ≠ 0; By axiom 7, P(i) exists. By axiom 2, S(i) exists 02:21:30 Not all models of the Chafian numbers have 32 elements, if that's what you're asking 02:21:35 This can be repeated for the value P(i) and the value S(i), extending infinitely in both directions 02:21:36 but there exists a model that does 02:21:42 FSVO infinitely 02:21:45 And indeed, we're just defining i as "a non-standard number". 02:21:48 At no point you will encounter a standard chafian number 02:21:52 oh, I see 02:21:54 FreeFull: right. 02:22:07 coppro: doesn't axiom 8 imply that there are no finite models of the Chafian numbers? 02:22:34 Along with axiom 6. 02:22:35 tswett: 0 could be larger than 31 02:23:06 -!- Arc_Koen has quit (Quit: Arc_Koen). 02:23:10 FreeFull: yeah, but you can't consistently have... let me have lambdabot tell you. 02:23:16 tswett: what is axoim 7 02:23:18 *axiom 02:23:20 oh 02:23:23 it comes after axiom 3 02:23:25 and before axiom 4 02:23:26 Funny, chafian numbers are almost but not quite mod32 02:23:30 chafian ordering?? 02:23:44 > "You can't consistently have " ++ concat [show n ++ " < " | n <- [0..31]] "0." 02:23:45 Couldn't match expected type `[GHC.Types.Char] -> [GHC.Types.Char]' 02:23:45 ... 02:23:53 > "You can't consistently have " ++ concat [show n ++ " < " | n <- [0..31]] ++ "0." 02:23:53 tswett: Ok, how about this 02:23:55 "You can't consistently have 0 < 1 < 2 < 3 < 4 < 5 < 6 < 7 < 8 < 9 < 10 < 1... 02:24:02 tswett: S(x) is larger than x 02:24:07 * tswett nods. 02:24:17 Since there is no S(31), there is no number larger than 31 02:24:17 Yeah, that seems consistent. 02:24:27 i could be larger than 31. 02:24:41 tswett: totally forgot about those >< 02:24:52 ok, so yeah, you definitely have nonstandard ones 02:25:07 actually 02:25:13 your axioms are stupid 02:25:22 finally someone speaks sense 02:25:26 S(0) = 31 is allowable as a model of the Chafian numbers 02:25:52 FreeFull: wait, no, that's not consistent.

Is it even or odd? 03:42:19 Obviously neither is provable in peano arithmetic 03:42:34 Unless adding the axiom made it inconsistent, in which case both are provable 03:42:50 That doesn't seem obvious to me. 03:42:57 `addquote But let's ignore the fact that i doesn't exist.

Is it even or odd? 03:43:05 Maybe Goodstein's theorem is trivial for odd numbers or something. 03:43:36 You can prove that for any n, G(n) is a natural number 03:43:55 So you can't prove anything about i, because it doesn't exist 03:44:13 Yeah, but what can you prove about it within the Peano axioms? 03:44:30 Nothing, it doesn't exist 03:44:47 On the contrary, you can prove that it's greater than 3. 03:44:56 Okay, yes. 03:45:01 Rather: that if it exists, it's greater than 3. 03:45:25 Since its existence is somehow an axiom, you don't need that bit 03:45:33 * tswett nods. 03:45:38 I guess it might be possible to prove it even or odd 03:45:47 Proving it to be both would be interesting 03:46:21 That would mean that your system is inconsistent. And it isn't. 03:46:48 Well, it could be inconsistent 03:46:49 -!- quintopia has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds). 03:46:58 I don't think anyone knows 03:47:08 couldn't it only be inconsistent if peano was inconsistent? 03:47:19 The Kirby–Paris theorem states that it is, in fact, consistent. 03:47:38 or that... 03:47:44 -!- quintopia has joined. 03:47:52 In the sense that it is neither provable nor unprovable in peano arithmetic 03:47:56 well PA could be inconsistent 03:48:09 Not in the sense that adding it or its negation won't cause the new axioms to be inconsistent 03:48:32 Gentzen showed that PA is consistent, sort of 03:48:39 yes the "sort of" is the rub 03:48:59 Edward Nelson had an attempted proof of PA inconsistency recently 03:49:06 but it turned out to be flawed 03:50:39 elliott: do you know if you've exceeded my little brother in age yet? 03:50:55 i don't know, how old is he 03:51:29 "Theorem: Nelson's proof can't be right. 03:51:29 Proof: The formal system within which Nelson carries out his proofs requires a theory of syntax. This theory is surely at least as strong as PRA. So: 03:51:29 (1) If Nelson's proof is right, then it follows that Nelson's proof is wrong." 03:51:29 heh 03:52:11 But you have consistent proofs in an inconsistent logic 03:52:22 You just have to be really careful, probably 03:52:43 i wonder what would happen if PRA got proved inconsistent overnight 03:53:25 The total and irrevocable collapse of civilisation 03:53:28 elliott: uh, I think he's like 17 or something. 03:53:36 edward nelson is one of my favourite wacky mathematicians 03:53:41 IIRC he doesn't believe exponentiation is total 03:53:54 I forget his argument, although ISTR it's at least vaguely compelling 03:54:17 Hey, Nelson is the guy that developed internal set theory. 03:54:38 http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=103 03:54:52 Jafet: yes!

16:10:06  I don't get how they could use it for something useful back then
16:18:18  Spoiled by Gordon Moore.
16:21:03  he didn't really predict anything
16:22:21  IMHO management divisions just learned about his predictions and ordered enginieers to fulfill them
16:25:05  He should have predicted faster chips then!
16:25:31  yeah
16:26:18  but there is another law
16:26:56  that limits the speed of electrons :F
16:29:20 -!- ais523 has quit.
16:29:50  Also the size of components.
16:30:00  I thought the size restrictions were the harsher ones.
16:30:10  And the thermal ones too, I guess.
16:31:02  Smaller components get hotter because they have to move more electrons, which makes it harder to move electrons around, which makes it necessary to make the components smaller
16:31:10  It's a wonder that these chips ever get made
16:32:04  Don't modern chips generate more power per unit volume than a nuclear reactor?
16:32:10  s/power/heat/
16:32:42  Well, nuclear reactors can probably generate more if they turned all the safeties off

16:45:32  They tend to melt through the containment vessel or cause heat-related explosions.
16:46:19  the only reason you get so much power out of a nuclear bomb is that you shove all the stuff together at high speed in a very precise way
16:46:19 -!- lambdabot has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds).
16:46:37  Not just that, the stuff has to be a lot purer than fuel.
16:46:45  which keeps it from flying apart just long enough to go crazy
16:46:47  yeah that's true
16:49:38  Although a criticality excursion might count as a tiny nuclear explosion? Anyway, not enough to fit into what everyone thinks of as a nuclear explosion.
16:49:49  yeah, the manhattan project had originally planned to use a gun-type bomb with plutonium
16:50:06  but they couldn't make plutonium pure enough at scale to prevent it from spontaneously fizzling during the detonation process
16:50:31  so they had to use the much more complex implosion design for Pu

19:53:03  zzo38: what do you mean by "one space orthogonally away"?
19:54:48  also I don't understand the thing about double wins
19:57:38  Arc_Koen: I mean what is sometimes called the "Wazir"; from c3, it can capture on c2, c4, b3, and d3, for example.
19:58:09  ok
19:58:21  Double wins is just for scoring, you count as 2 wins instead of 1
19:58:31  yes but when does it occur?
19:58:50  from what I understand, you win when both special pieces of your opponents are out
19:58:59  yES.
19:59:38  so when do you double-win?
20:00:14  But if you win due to your opponent's L dies from your Kira when they have no Kira, then you win, this is a special win count as double. Same if your L capture opponent's Kira when they have no L, it is win so it count as a double win.
20:00:18 -!- Bike has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds).
20:00:45  Is this understandable to you, or not?
20:03:23  well yes but it that case it's only possible to double-win, is it not?
20:03:48  I mean, a win occurs when both L and Kira are dead... but for that, you have to kill one of the two, then the second
20:04:03  and you're saying that when the second dies, if the first was already dead, it's a double-win
20:04:10  Yes, in those cases it is only possible to double win; if the second is captured normally though, then it is a single win.
20:04:10  so it looks to me like it's always a double-win
20:04:19  oh

20:04:35  I might be confusing "killing" and "capturing"
20:05:49  so what exactly is the propoer vocabulary? "killing" for the death note, "capturing" for regular chess captures, and "eliminating" when not making the distinction?
20:06:12  I suppose so.

20:10:30  if you eliminate your opponent's second special piece using your special power, then it's a double-win
20:10:37  did I get it right?

20:52:30  kmc, sure it is.
20:53:26  If you detected an unknown particle and you only knew it had a charge of -1 it would be consistent with an electron, but it could well be something else.
20:53:52  Yes the electron has more properties than just its electric charge.
20:54:13  fair enough

02:02:24  ARM are still called RISC even though the new ones are more complicated.
02:02:43  do they have an "evaluate polynomial" instruction?
02:03:13  I don't know, but I don't think it has something like that; only I know VAX has evaluate polynomial, I think.
02:05:59 -!- Nisstyre-laptop has joined.
02:06:35  RISC just means "not x86" now ;P
02:09:46  I program in notx86 all the time!
02:09:54  notx86 is the best language
02:13:43  kmc: Why did they do that?
02:14:19  RISC is in the name of ARM though.
02:15:34  pikhq: Yes I know but still the new ones are more complicated, having not just one but many instruction sets, and various other features added on
02:16:16  but it's still "reduced" from the vax, so it's all good
02:16:50  In modern parlance "RISC" refers to ISAs that use a load/store architecture, no?
02:17:28  well i would say it refers to a whole set of architectural features
02:17:33  i.e. without really ludicrously complex addressing modes, like x86 is known for...
02:17:43  ARM has some fairly complex addressing modes
02:17:51  Hrm, right.
02:17:51  and x86's aren't that complex
02:18:01  ARM has pre/post increment/decrement which x86 lacks
02:18:27  but x86 lets you do things like INC a memory address, which RISC processors typically avoid
02:18:39  And has a strcpy opcode.
02:18:45 -!- Nisstyre-laptop has quit (Quit: Leaving).
02:18:54  though you need something like that for concurrency primitives
02:19:05  atomic test-and-set is also a memory read and a write together in the same instruction
02:20:35  6502 also has increment a memory address (it lacks a increment accumulator instruction!), and VAX even has increment immediate.
02:21:00  increment immediate, really?   is it self-modifying, then?
02:23:22  Yes, if the program is stored in RAM it may, I suppose, do so. It sets the flags too so it might be useful for that purpose too.
02:24:43  dang.
02:30:45  (RogueVM also can use (non-short) immediates as a destination, by using the PC post-increment addressing mode. I think this is similar to how VAX does it.)
02:33:02  6502 does have increment X register and increment Y register, but cannot increment A register; but, instruction for addition is only usable with A register.
02:36:19 -!- monqy has joined.
02:43:03  by that standard, AMD64 also has store immediate, increment immediate, etc.
02:43:56  incb (%rip); .byte 0xc2
02:44:55  rip %rip
02:46:00  ARM is interesting because they added various features specifically to combat weaknesses of RISC
03:01:49  i think increment/decrement address modes are an example of that
03:02:18  otherwise you have to load, add, store, and it just sucks
03:04:15 -!- augur has joined.
03:08:10  kmc: That fourth operation is the worst.
03:21:25  the sucking one?
03:21:40  hm but what i said isn't very accurate
03:21:46  because your counters should be in registers anyway
03:27:59  i am the wrost
03:28:35  i watched Star Trek: TNG for the first time the other day
03:29:09  Fair warning, TNG honestly varies from awesome to suck.
03:29:47  How'd you like whatever episode you saw?
03:30:14  we had some expert nerds select a 3-episode cycle
03:30:21  well okay "select 3 episodes"
03:30:55  That probably helps.
03:30:56  I watched all of Star Trek a few years ago. It took about a year.
03:31:10  (in chronological order)
03:31:15  we watched "Clues", "The Measure of a Man", and "The Inner Light"
03:31:38 -!- FreeFull has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
03:31:43  Perfect selection.
03:32:17  i didn't much care for the second one
03:32:24  "clues" was good and "inner light" was great
03:32:59  "The Inner Light" is often considered the best episode of TNG. It is inarguably a great one.
03:33:15  yeah it's pretty cool
03:33:24  That selection is overall great for giving you a feel of what the series is like.
03:33:31  excellent
03:33:38  i have the whole series stashed away on a hard drive somewhere
03:33:42  maybe it's time for a marathon
03:34:42  "clues" had a cool idea but the structure was kind of weak
03:35:01  Beware: season 1 sucks horribly, and season 2 varies ("Measure of a Man" is one of the better ones)...
03:35:23  they don't really get very far in unraveling the mystery before data is just like "ok, here's what happened"
03:35:37  Should I watch these?
03:36:18  The show really got into its stride after Roddenberry's death, TBH...
03:36:18  you should watch "The Inner Light" at least
03:36:23  shachaf: In short, yes.
03:37:02  Especially The Inner Light. Hugo Award winner.

03:38:17  ("All Good Things..." is an amazing episode, but don't watch it yet.)
03:39:00  kmc: Another one I recommend is "Darmok".

03:40:47  No; it's in my giant queue

03:42:12  Q
03:43:01  It’s a rare show in that they had a great five-year story in advance instead of inventing the story as they go.
03:43:21  One of my absolute favorites.
03:43:56  that's cool
03:43:58  i should watch that too
03:44:20  kmc: You may also enjoy DS9. There might be a modicum of enjoyment from TOS and TAS. VOY and ENT will make you want to drink all the alcohol.
03:45:06  that sounds hazardous
03:45:19  It's better than remembering.
03:46:24  B5 can seem to start a little slowly (especially since you don’t realize all the apparently insignificant things that are preludes to big events later on) but after watching enough of it you’ll surely find it worth it.
03:46:37  don’t realize the first time you watch it, that is
03:47:00  And the episode "Threshold" will make you omit the middlemen and simply give yourself a brainectomy.
03:48:48  Be sure to watch Star Trek: The Animated Series, the pinnacle of the franchise.
03:49:07  I wouldn't say that.
03:49:19  It's decently written, but the animation is hilariously bad.
03:49:42  pikhq: is threshold the one that got retconned out instantly?
03:49:44  It also does weird things to the setting if you accept it as canon.

04:12:03  I wrote this over the last few days. Your thoughts? https://github.com/krzysz00/singl
04:13:28  i see a spec for a language but not a high-level overview of why it's interesting
04:13:35  good languages (esoteric and otherwise) usually have both
04:13:57  You have a point there, kmc.
04:15:29  krzysz00: It is OK, I think. Still you should also have what kmc request too
04:19:23  I have an esolang but its spec is uncomputable.
04:19:33  tswett: You know what else is uncomputable?
04:37:19  All non-standard models of the natural numbers?
04:43:44  somebody's mom?
04:49:49  shachaf: the busy beaver function?
04:50:23  Busy beaver is very computable
04:50:28  Slereah: no it isn't
04:50:37  Isn't it?
04:50:43  It has been a while
04:50:43  no
04:51:07  suppose you had a TM which could compute busy beaver
04:51:46  then you could create a machine which took as input another machine, determined its size, and ran it for BB(n) steps; if it halts, then it accepts, otherwise it fails.
04:51:51  then you've solved the halting problem
04:53:21  in fact this demonstrates that any upper bound for BB(n) is uncomputable
04:53:31  so we can say that it grows faster than any computable function
04:53:33  which is kinda crazy
04:54:15  so, how are exact values (for BB on really simple machines) known?
04:54:28  or are those just lower bounds?
04:54:36  some of them are exact
04:55:05  you enumerate all the different turing machines of that size and prove that they halt or don't
04:55:23  isn't that a procedure, then?
04:55:47  no because you can search for larger and larger proofs forever
04:56:22  exactly
04:56:26  that is, given the size of the machine, you have no computable bound on the size of a proof that it halts or doesn't
04:56:40  Given a fixed n, you can compute BB up to n
04:56:49  but no turing machine can compute BB for arbitrary n
04:56:58  FSVO "you"
04:57:21  well, that's a bit clearer.  The whole thing always sort of confused me.
04:57:46  of course I have a book with a graph of the kolmogorov complexity of numbers as a function, maybe I should focus on that confusingness first.
05:03:48  ohhh i think there is something deeper going on here
05:04:45  say i have a turing machine M.  in one thread i run M, and in another thread I enumerate all possible proofs that M doesn't halt, and check them one by one
05:04:52  why doesn't this solve the halting problem?
05:04:55  i think the answer is
05:05:27  for any (r.e.) axiomatic system of talking about turing machines, there is some machine which doesn't halt, such that you can't prove it doesn't halt within your system
05:05:36  basically by gödel's incompleteness theorem
05:05:53  Bahahah.
05:06:12  (or else the system is inconsistent, but in that case it doesn't agree with the meta-theoretic definition of "halt" and so is useless)
05:06:42  How do you enumerate the possible proofs that M doesn't halt?
05:07:24  [minBound..]
05:07:25  the proofs are just strings in some formal system; you can enumerate strings easily enough
05:08:08  But there are infinite such proofs
05:08:43  sure, but they are recursively enumerable
05:08:54  yeah, but how do you know your system will halt?
05:09:07  because every machine either halts or doesn't (on a given input)
05:09:14  so either there exists a computation history showing it to halt
05:09:19  or there exists a finite proof that it doesn't
05:09:27  but it's the second statement which is wrong
05:09:30  yeah
05:09:44  because even though the "proof exists" informally, you can't nail it down in any particular formal system
05:09:48  not even
05:09:54  whichever formal system you choose, some machine will escape you
05:09:56  coppro: Either the machine M halts, or the search for a proof that M doesn't halt, halts.
05:09:58  example: write a TM which enumerates theorems of ZFC and terminates when it finds a proof or disproof of CH
05:10:16  Except that by Gödel's incompleteness theorem, the second is not necessarily the case.
05:10:20  Yes, you get the idea.
05:10:33  I think?
05:10:46  yeah, i'm not sure if that is the same thing or different
05:10:47  so any r.e. axiomatic system has turing machine halting proofs independent of it?
05:10:48  err, sorry, a proof of CH
05:11:14  Bike: Seems like it.
05:11:19  hmm... actually, that doesn't quite work
05:11:36  but yeah, you can find a TM for which halting is independent of your axiom system

10:01:42  anyway how did you get the py file I only posted the pyc file
10:02:38  I decompiled it; to be honest, the  urllib.urlretrieve  and  ['runas', '/user:Administrator', x]  parts seen in strings file.pyc made me a bit uncomfortable.

10:04:09  How is that useful?
10:04:18  why not
10:05:58  I added the runas admin feature for something I was doing at school

14:33:46  @ask monqy One day I was Bored and Decided to learn how to program in python so I went and watched some youtube videos however I didn't just want to program in Python I wanted to form my own language perhaps an easier No wait more simplistic version of Python with smaller command names And easier programming so here it is The Poison Programming Language
14:33:46  Consider it noted.
14:34:30 -!- atriq has joined.
14:34:39  Verily.
14:34:47  Verily indeed.
14:34:48  atriq: You have 4 new messages. '/msg lambdabot @messages' to read them.
14:34:52  Oh, sweet
14:35:04  Verily indeed indubitably.
14:35:13  I...
14:35:17  Oh Wow it's Shubshub
14:35:19  did you get good messages
14:35:20  I had seen all those messages before
14:35:32  kmc: shubshub: the best?
14:35:39  should i make poison the featured language
14:36:02  elliott, I did see them and I downloaded Brogue and I am playing it RIGHT NOW
14:36:05  Well, not right now
14:36:08  But I have it open
14:36:24   clear() - Clear the command line screen on a Linux Computer
14:36:26  cls() - Clear the command line screen on a Windows Computer
14:36:39  ion: it's cross-platform
14:36:42  like java
14:36:51  ion:  def clear(): os.system('clear')  def cls(): os.system('cls')
14:36:53  ion, a specific Linux Computer, or just any
14:37:35  We need languages that let us clear other people's screens
14:37:46  The mathes eqaution commands just print the result; now I need to manually copy the intermediate result to add three numbers. :/
14:38:08  fizzie: sounds better than mathematica
14:39:00  elliott: what about http://esolangs.org/wiki/Talk:Ozone#Interp ?
14:39:22  Arc_Koen: apparently i said something in 2008 and then didn't do it
14:39:29  :(
14:39:34  elliott: Yeah, I hate that I have to write  1 + 2  and then  Out[1] + 3  to add three numbers there. :/
14:40:05  wouldn't it be 1 + Out[3]
14:40:22  Maybe it's that.
14:40:31  since 1+2 is 3 iirc
14:40:52  1+2 ≈ FileNotFound
14:41:20  http://sprunge.us/cCjC look I'm pulling results from the future.
14:42:06  forall x: def x(): os.system('x')
14:42:33  fizzie: Ohh, right, Out is an array.
14:42:42  ocaml doesn't like me :(
14:42:55  fizzie: It should automagically recalculate the display of the Out[n]s each time you cause them to change.
14:43:01  Like a spreadsheet.
14:43:18  I suppose the gooey version can do some stuff like that.
14:43:27  I'm trying to implement circlefuck using the circular buffer module I wrote some time ago but I need two pointers to the same buffer and ocaml won't let me do that
14:44:28  if I try including the module and adding functions to it, they don't work because they're not allowed to access the internal structure
14:47:16  1.9.2p318 :001 > def method_missing(cmd, *args) system(cmd.to_s, *args) end; echo "foo"
14:47:18  foo
14:47:54  http://amoffat.github.com/sh/ is like that
14:47:56  and is wonderful
14:48:29  Arc_Koen: have you considered changing the module
14:48:43  well, yes, I could rewrite it all
14:48:45      self = sys.modules[__name__]
14:48:46      sys.modules[__name__] = SelfWrapper(self)
14:48:48  I like the kluge.
14:48:57  but is that really a good idea?
14:49:14  my first idea was to add a function "shallow copy" or something to it
14:49:30  but it causes problem if you try to pop an item that's the front item from a copy
14:49:51  A European shallow or an African shallow?
14:49:52  Arc_Koen: all i hear is yet more arguments against mutable state :p
14:50:27  do you have any idea to avoid using them?
14:51:30  well presumably you could use a purely-functional data structure instead... maybe for circular things that's a bit of a pain though, iirc Okasaki's /Purely Functional Data Structures/ extends the language with basic lazy values for things like that
14:51:45  (though I suppose you could implement them easily as (() -> a) if you're not worried about performance)
14:52:02  that said there is probably some solution to your problem that does not involve rewriting your program
14:52:07  but I don't know OCaml, so who knows what it is
14:52:18  When I was on holiday I wrote a Hunt the Wumpus clone
14:52:21  It's awful
14:52:24  you can implement them as (() -> a) with good performance if you can close over a mutable cell
14:52:40  kmc: right
14:52:47  I guess that is nicer than exposing the mutable cell in the type
14:52:51  yes
14:52:57  which was my first idea
14:53:04  You can write it in fucking C
14:53:07  <3 functional imperative programming
14:53:17  i would like to learn Fucking C
14:53:21  Fucking C is like system F, except you're forced to be more explicit.
14:53:21  is there a relevant ISO standard
14:53:21  Jafet, how is fucking C different from regular C?
14:53:26  ISO-Fucking-9899
14:53:31  what is it you call (() -> a)?
14:53:37  Arc_Koen: The Aristocrats
14:53:39  replacing the data structure with a function?
14:53:40  Arc_Koen: haskell
14:53:53  Arc_Koen: I guess it is (unit -> a) in OCaml
14:53:58  or I guess (unit -> 'a) even
14:53:59  Arc_Koen, I think it's thunking, but everyone's gonna shout at me because I'm wrong
14:54:08  I think it's thunking about thinking
14:54:21  Who'd've thunk it.
14:54:52  Arc_Koen: anyway I was just talking about the implementation of a simple lazy value
14:55:07  to use for implementing something circular-ish in a purely-functional manner
14:55:13  though I suppose a circular buffer could work as a zipper or something instead
14:55:19  well I still have no idea what you mean
14:55:25  that's ok
14:55:35  a zipper would be fine if there weren't two iterators
14:55:40  I mean, two pointers
14:56:25  data BiZipper a = BiZipper [a] a [a] (Maybe a) [a]?
14:56:42  atriq: yuk
14:56:48  a a a
14:56:56  Yes, that is the worst
14:57:17  is Maybe a constructor similar to ocaml's None / Some option type?
14:57:31  Probably
14:57:42  data Maybe a = Nothing | Just a
14:57:58  type 'a option = None | Some of 'a
14:58:29  elliott, there are at least three birthday parties in Hexham tomorrow. What's the word on the street?
14:58:55  is there word
14:59:03  yes
14:59:08  it is
14:59:14  "slow"
14:59:26  but i dont know the word
14:59:30  One of them's a sort of surprise party for me
14:59:34  And I want to know more details
14:59:45  Except I don't actually
14:59:50  ok well atriq
14:59:52  i can tell you this
14:59:59  if there is ever word on the street i know literally none of it
15:00:14  i may, in fact, be the single worst person in hexham to ask about the word on the street
15:00:15  so
15:00:16  congratulations
15:00:18  the word on the street is "slow"
15:00:24  its a school zone
15:00:42  elliott: Are you 'in' in the Hexham party scene, though?
15:01:27  fizzie: what is the opposite of in these days
15:01:33  "out"
15:01:42  right I am "out"
15:02:55  start your own private party scene. then everyone else will be out and you will be in
15:03:11  what if i get lonely

15:40:41  Hrm, Aphrodite?
15:40:54  elliott, no, sometimes cauchy sequences on the tit don't converge.
15:41:31  You just need to apply the squeeze test
15:42:22  these jokes are dumb guys
15:42:24  To see if the tit is contractible?

17:14:41  elliott, what would you suggest to replace it?
17:15:18  atriq: either a function, vector (from the vector package), or a map/hashmap
17:15:21  depends on your needs!
17:15:28  I'd go for a function in this case
17:16:07  you should randomise the layout tho
17:16:10  that'd be cool!
17:16:12  and dumb
17:18:27 * ion randomizes elliott’s layout.
17:18:37  Go ion
17:19:49  atriq: btw why are you using makeLensesFor
17:19:52  rather than makeLenses or makeClassy
17:20:22  I didn't know how they named them
17:21:51  atriq: they expect your fields to be named _foo and produce a lens named foo
17:22:39  Hmm
17:22:43  That isn't quite what I have
17:22:55  I have fields named foo and lenses named foo_

18:59:29  kmc: what does this mean: mount: /my/image/im/trying/to/loop/mount.img failed to setup loop device: No such file or directory
18:59:32  *img:
19:01:16  (the file exists)
19:01:18  (so does the mount point)
19:01:25  maybe you have no loopback devices for some reason
19:01:33  strace it
19:01:37  Remember that time I installed pacman on my computer
19:01:40  That was fun
19:01:55  oh hm
19:02:01  apparently that is true kmc!
19:02:07  why don't i have a loopback device
19:02:12 -!- atriq has quit (Quit: Leaving).
19:02:16  do you have a normal udev
19:02:33  yes AIUI
19:02:42  with systemd, which I don't think matters?
19:02:49  well i don't know then :/
19:03:05  all i know is systemd and udev merged
19:03:11  so now i don't actually have a udev package
19:03:13  it's just systemd
19:03:50  huh
19:04:01  keeping up with how linux systems work is hard
19:04:18  kmc: well it's more that they just merged the packages upstream apparently
19:04:24  and it's still buildable separately or something
19:05:49  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-August/006066.html
19:06:01  apparently that means basically "you can use udev without systemd in the future but we're not going to make it any better"
19:09:20  hmm
19:09:34  kmc: actually maybe i do have a loopback device or something
19:09:40  i do have the loop module loaded at least
19:12:51  open("/dev/loop-control", O_RDWR)       = -1 ENODEV (No such device)
19:12:52  this is puzzling
19:12:58  because
19:12:59  $ ls -lh /dev/loop-control
19:12:59  crw------- 1 root root 10, 237 Nov  2 14:25 /dev/loop-control
19:13:10  so wtf
19:14:05  oh probably you just don't have loop.ko loaded
19:14:15  kmc: i've done sudo modprobe loop about 10 times
19:14:21  haha ok
19:14:23  https://gist.github.com/3397886 apparently this person has the same issue on the same OS three months ago
19:14:25  well maybe it's fucked somehow
19:14:51  well i am sure it is fucked
19:14:53  since it doesn't work
19:14:59  anything in dmesg?
19:15:11  checked before but no

19:16:54  hi
19:16:59  so loop-control exists as a device
19:17:02  but is not a device
19:17:09  so i guess the problem is 10, 237 doesn't identify a valid decide
19:17:10  *device
19:17:12  so why not
19:17:14  it's a file but there's no device hooked up to it in the kernel

19:17:19  that is the mystery
19:18:40  $ lsmod | grep loop

19:18:46  so modprobe loop didn't work i guess
19:18:48  so why didn't it complain??
19:19:07  ok
19:19:10  sudo modprobe -v sdlfkjsdfkl
19:19:12  also outputs nothing
19:19:19  what is going onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
19:20:49  Maybe your system has deprecated the loop device completely, in favour of dm-loop?
19:21:09  fizzie: OK, I'm willing to accept that... but why is modprobe fucked?
19:21:15  (and how would I get dm-loop working)
19:21:42  I don't even know if dm-loop ever went anywhere, I just remember there was one once.
19:22:04  dm-loop is lvm only from the looks of it?
19:22:05  I don't have lvm.
19:23:36  "sudo modprobe -v -n dosfjsdofjoidsf" doesn't even give any messages.
19:23:39  I think grep loop /proc/devices should at least definitely say if the device is there.
19:23:46  Even "modprobe foo" as non-root doesn't give me any messages.
19:23:48  What's going on?
19:24:02  fizzie: That outputs nothing, right.
19:24:15  It seems fairly obvious I need to load loop... so the problem is just that modprobe is completely broken??
19:24:24  Maybe they deprecated modutils and it's just a dummy stub. :p
19:24:39  Well it responds to --help and everything.
19:25:08  $ sudo modprobe -v -n dosfjsdofjoidsf

19:27:00  fizzie: What's going on? :(
19:27:14  It must be some kinda thing.
19:28:04  With module-init-tools being declared a dead project by its current maintainer, a new project has stepped up to take its place: kmod. This is intended to be a drop-in replacement, though deprecated functionality in module-init-tools has not been reimplemented.
19:28:05  Hokay.

19:28:58  Hello,
19:28:58  While setting up a new VPS with Wheezy under a module-less kernel
19:28:58  (everything compiled-in) I've noticed that kmod's modprobe silently
19:28:58  returns 1 with no error message printed, no matter if you tell it
19:28:58  to load or unload a module.
19:29:00  ]]
19:29:02  Hokay.
19:29:19  So "modprobe loop" is, in fact, failing.
19:29:29  How is a mystery.
19:29:56  Apparently things like "diagnostics" and "any messages" are part of the deprecated functionality they've not reimplemented.

19:31:06  Except I have that file.
19:31:09  Hmm.
19:31:18  it couldn't be that nothing works because it's all reimplemented from scratch every few years
19:31:27  Do you have a loop.ko in there though?

19:31:50  fizzie: Well, um, it's a binary file.
19:31:53  I don't know how to check.
19:32:09  I guess look at modules.alias?
19:32:11  I mean, in the module dir.
19:32:21  fizzie: Oh, I have loop.ko.gz, yes.
19:32:22  alias devname:loop-control loop
19:32:22  alias char-major-10-237 loop
19:32:22  alias block-major-7-* loop
19:32:28  That's what modules.alias has.
19:32:48  kmc: it's linux... the reason usually is because the old authors were idiots
19:33:07  That sounds suspiciously reasonable. It may be lulling you to a false sense of security.
19:33:46  fizzie: I'm going to have so strace modprobe, aren't I :(
19:34:24  There weren't any of these .bin files when I last wondered about modules, around the 2.4.x series or something. There was just one ascii .dep file for modprobe and that was about it.
19:34:34  open("/lib/modules/3.6.4-1-ck/modules.dep.bin", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

19:34:34  open("/lib/modules/3.6.4-1-ck/modules.alias.bin", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
19:34:39  OK, it's upset that those don't exist.
19:34:46  Ah.
19:34:57  fizzie: Guess why it's broken? Hint: It's a really dumb reason and I feel like an idiot.
19:35:30  fizzie: Here's a hint:
19:35:36  $ ls /lib/modules
19:35:36  3.6.4-1-ARCH  3.6.5-1-ck  extramodules-3.6-ARCH  extramodules-3.6-ck
19:35:56  Ah ha.
19:36:10  I see some different numbers.
19:36:17  The reason is I upgraded my kernel and it removed the old one and I haven't rebooted yet. :(
19:36:28  So, uh... be right back.

20:08:15  this is terrible
20:08:34  why do the built-in functions have terrible short names
20:08:49  also why do you need a different function to clear the screen on linux vs windows
20:08:51  to make it easier
20:08:53  shouldn't the language hide that detail
20:09:06  Apparently the function to Perform a Mathes eqaution doesn’t return the result, it prints it. So you can’t compute a Mathes eqaution such as 2+3*4 with it.
20:09:22  wow
20:09:23  And it’s only distributed as a .pyc file, no source.
20:09:29  wow
20:09:47   to make it easier

20:18:52  And what does the g stand for?
20:19:15  hold on let me think
20:19:56  Ah
20:20:08  hgWorld stands for Hello/Goodbye World

20:20:30  really
20:21:17  yes
20:21:20  why
20:21:23  does hgWorld("False") print "Goodbye World !"?

20:21:37  hello, goodbye, world. it's very minimalistic.. though it may be not TC
20:21:39  no but I Believe hgWorld("False") did

20:45:04  Maybe I should redo my language with better commands or something
20:45:09  i strongly recommend removing hoovers blog entry from the topic. we should encourage folks with a positive attitude. show them where to look among the garbage and the flowers
20:45:24  that's not even Phantom_Hoover's blog post

22:12:45  i want a god that stays dead, not plays dead
22:13:33  kmc: Can you do those things?
22:13:40  I, even I, can play dead
22:14:04  But can you rationalize transcendentals?
22:14:13  doubtful
22:14:22  Time to gette some sleepe.
22:14:22  whats wrong with bazaar
22:14:45  elliott: Well, there was a strictness bug in holesOf.
22:14:52  Now it's fixed.
22:14:57  But can you make it more safe?!
22:15:10  more safe howso
22:15:17  holesOf :: LensLike (Bazaar a a) s t a a -> s -> [Context a a t]
22:15:17  holesOf l a = f (ins b) (outs b) where b = l sell a f []     _ = [] f (x:xs) g = Context (g . (:xs)) x : f xs (g . (x:))
22:15:28  ins :: Bazaar a b t -> [a]
22:15:28  ins (Bazaar m) = getConst (m (Const . return))
22:15:28  {-# INLINE ins #-}
22:15:34  outs :: Bazaar a a t -> [a] -> t
22:15:34  outs (Bazaar m) = evalState $ m $ \c -> state $ \cs -> case cs of [] -> (c,[]) (d:ds) -> (d,ds)

22:15:42  See that?
22:15:43  more safe howso
22:15:43  I knew that.
22:15:55  elliott: It's using lists!
22:16:03  who cares
22:16:08  looks total to me
22:16:17  whats the problem
22:16:35  unsafePartsOf :: LensLike (Bazaar a b) s t a b -> Lens s t [a] [b]
22:16:35  unsafePartsOf l f a = unsafeOuts b <$> f (ins b) where b = l sell a
22:16:38  unsafeOuts :: Bazaar a b t -> [b] -> t
22:16:39  unsafeOuts (Bazaar m) = evalState (m $ \_ -> state unsafeUncons)
22:16:50  The point is it's ugly. :-(
22:17:31  howso
22:17:43  how would you write it
22:18:06  I don't know.
22:18:20  newtype Bazaar a b t = Bazaar { _runBazaar :: forall f. Applicative f => (a -> f b) -> f t }
22:18:22  looks fine to me
22:18:27  problem if anything is in the functions using it
22:18:29  so fix them
22:18:32  define your own f i guess
22:19:07  The *problem* is that there's no type safety, elliott!
22:19:12  "start caring plz"
22:19:45  i don't see how there's no type safety
22:20:53  Well, it's using regular lists, so how can you guarantee that it'll have the same number of elements?
22:21:50  data Bazaar a b t = forall n : Nat. Bazaar ((n -> b) -> t) (n -> a)
22:21:59  I have written some things on some paper I think there is some ways to make something like it having list of same number of elements, depending what you are doing with it there is the way.
22:24:54  shachaf: but whats wrong with bazaar's definition
22:25:13  Nothing's wrong with *Bazaar*.
22:25:18  Just the functions that are using it.
22:25:20  Is that the right and left bazaar? What is it?
22:25:35  zzo38: What's a left and right bazaar?
22:26:00  shachaf: so change the functions, not bazaar
22:26:11  elliott: I never said anything about changing Bazaar.
22:26:22  just define your own f that works as both Const and State
22:26:32  shachaf: I don't know, it is why I asked.
22:26:49  elliott: OK, how?
22:26:58  kmc: Can you believe there was once a time when you cared about crazy types like that?
22:27:17  But I thought it was something like, newtype Bazaar a b t = Bazaar { _runBazaar :: forall f. Applicative f => (a -> f b) -> f t } being the right bazaar and data Bazaar a b t = forall n : Nat. Bazaar ((n -> b) -> t) (n -> a) being the left bazaar, or something like that.
22:28:06  shachaf: well there's such a thing as applicative product....
22:28:16  zzo38: Those are isomorphic.
22:28:33  Er wait.
22:28:42  shachaf: so just use product of const and state?
22:28:45  data Bazaar a b t = forall n : Nat. Bazaar ((Fin n -> b) -> t) (Fin n -> a)
22:28:52  elliott: Which is what?
22:28:59  shachaf: What is Fin in here?
22:29:08  shachaf: Product (Const a) (State b)
22:29:22  zzo38: Fin n = natural numbers < n
22:29:41  data Bazaar a b t = forall n : Nat. Bazaar (Vect n b -> t) (Vect n a)
22:29:45  shachaf: OK
22:30:53  O so that is how they work, OK.
22:31:11  Sorry for my category error before.
22:31:19  elliott: What's that?
22:31:24  what's what
22:31:31  Product blah blah
22:31:35  Can you write out the type?
22:31:50  Im rebuilding my language
22:31:55  Also how does it help?
22:31:57  here is a new command
22:31:59  cat("This is a cat program", math(9, 9, "*"))
22:32:47  shachaf: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/transformers/0.3.0.0/doc/html/Data-Functor-Product.html
22:33:24  shubshub: this language is the one taped onto python right
22:33:32  yea
22:33:44  I'm not sure how that'll help.
22:33:52  why would you write math(9, 9, "*") instead of 9 * 9
22:33:55  well you can combine in and out
22:33:57  nooodl: it's shorter
22:33:58  less typing
22:34:01  that's what poison's good at

23:52:38  i said that like a few minutes ago
23:52:47  it takes time to do things
23:58:18  Hmm, he last edited the wiki on 27 October.
23:58:20  i guess it doesn't help that from what oerjan's told us he's pretty recluded
23:58:23  So... no need to worry, I guess.
23:59:04  unless he set up a bot to make it look like he was alive?

04:42:49  guys
04:43:01  should i vote for the Green-Rainbow Party candidate for President of the United States?
04:43:29  the hell is that?
04:43:53  "It is the Massachusetts state affiliate of the Green Party of the United States."
04:44:22  yes
04:44:42  and there is zero chance that my vote will actually affect who is president
04:44:54  do you support rainbows?
04:45:07  because MA will almost certainly go for Obama, and because any world where MA goes for Romney is a world where Obama is hopelessly fucked nation-wide
04:45:13  Bike: yes
04:45:15  the more the merrier
04:45:21  You should vote for yourself.
04:45:23  you know what you must do
04:45:25  kmc 2012
04:45:33  hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
04:45:53  that's right: vote for a version of yourself that has been blessed by the prism gods
04:45:56  My dad thinks that NY might actually go Romney because of low turnout
04:46:16  that seems... unlikely
04:46:28  does your dad have any evidence or credibility
04:46:44  No.
04:47:16  urban areas probably recover faster from the hurricane
04:47:23  and your voting place is just down the street
04:48:04  you don't have to drive around suburbia avoiding fallen trees
04:48:52  and Obama is ahead by 20-30 points so...
04:56:06  "Indoor laundry drying 'poses a health risk'"
04:56:19  was confused until i realized it's the BBC and remembered that clothes drying machines haven't been invented in the UK yet
04:56:46  i think because of nazis or something
05:00:19  like fan death, except dryer death
05:00:35  they're pretty rare in italy too
05:00:56  but average household power allotments is much much smaller there than it is in the UK or here
05:13:47  Sgeo: Do you think that game is OK?
05:14:01  zzo38, I only looked at the Chess+Backgammon one
05:14:43  zzo38, interesting, although can games go indefinitely? I note that bearing off is actually reversible, in a sense, as beared off checkers can end up back in jail
05:16:35  Sgeo: Yes, I suppose it might, although checkmate always ends the game too, and there is the randomness involved too.
05:17:00  But it is possible to miss a turn in the chess game, sometimes!!
05:20:07  (Because of this, there is no draw by repetition.)
06:00:16  having not paid attention in several minutes: what about the 50 move draw?
06:03:05  Bike: There is no 50 move draw. The only draw is not having a legal FIDE move (if not in check).
06:03:20  ah.
06:18:12  You can make other suggestion if you want to.
06:38:32  Do you know Chinese chess?
06:38:52  I know of it, barely.
06:39:17  Er, wait, Chinese chess more than Japanese chess, yes.  If Chinese chesss is the one on a star of david looking thing.
06:40:36  Neither game is played on a Star of David (although that is an idea, to make up a variant involving such board)
06:41:04  Probably you mean Chinese Checkers, is played on the Star of David.
06:41:12  Bike: You're probably thinking "Chinese checkers".
06:41:13  Chinese Chess is a different game.
06:41:36  oh, dammit.
06:41:37  Chinese chess, or xiangqi, is actually a chess derivative of sorts.
06:41:46  (it evolved from the same game chess evolved from)
06:41:55  And Japanese chess is based on that.
06:42:07  (aka shogi)
06:42:10  ok, that makes sense.
06:42:15  I can play all of those games.
06:43:54  I made up a variant of Xiangqi with drops similar to Shogi.     http://www.chessvariants.org/index/msdisplay.php?itemid=MSdroppablexiang
06:44:23  The piece with different names are considered different kind, instead of calling them different name for the same kind of piece as is normally done.
06:48:58  I mostly heard of those games in context of alternative games in Hikaru no Go
06:48:59  :/
06:50:07  I've played Shogi. I'm not very good at it.
06:51:08  I have pieces and board of shogi, the board is made of paper, pieces are normal though. All of them fit in one small box.
06:58:06  I prefer the flat pieces used with Shogi and Xiangqi rather than the 3D figures used with FIDE.

11:27:13  Three to collect!
11:28:16  What is Hexham.
11:29:13  Jafet: The dual of Finland.
11:29:16  Whose birthdays?
11:29:19  Is it elliott?
11:29:26  I bet it's elliott, oerjan, and monqy.
11:37:50  Isn't elliott's birthday like in August or something
11:38:13  It's also in August.
11:38:19  Who said you can only have one a year?
11:38:25  True, true
11:38:40  Anyway, I must prepare for partyings!

13:16:21  I'm playing with USB OTG, so far my phone handled everything I threw at it
13:16:35  hm lets try the printer XD
13:16:47  okay... "Printer connected"... now what
13:18:51  hrrm "can only print on samsung printer"? fail...
13:20:25  oh hey, I could try this USB midi device...
13:21:26  okay, it fails that
13:23:04  USB Lego IR tower: fail
13:25:42  What happens if you connect it to another phone of the same model? Which one pretends to be the host and which one the device? 
13:26:00  fizzie, don't have more than one phone handy
13:26:03  Aw.
13:26:11  fizzie, but I think it depends on who has the USB OTG cable
13:26:18  since the cable itself is being detected by the phone
13:26:20  Mhm, that'd make sense.
13:26:25  even with nothing at the other end
13:26:28  Does it have more than one USB port? I suppose not.
13:26:34  nope
13:26:43  I was hoping you could connect it to itself.
13:26:45  going to try my Saitek X52 Pro Joystick now
13:27:02  well the joystick powers on...
13:27:09  but the phone said nothing
13:27:33  oh well
13:27:46  fizzie, it works with mouse, keyboard, USB sticks and that sort of stuff
13:27:54  and apparently some printers
13:28:03  hm web cam!
13:28:05  lets try that
13:28:21  old old old webcam
13:28:29  My keyboard reports "MaxPower 300mA" in lsusb -v, but it worked in the RPi's built-in USB port; was a bit worried. (Those are officially rated only for single unit load devices.)
13:28:46  hm nope
13:29:02  does the webcam even work *tries in a computer*
13:29:26  well windows says "no driver found". Linux seems to handle it as usual with older hardware
13:29:58  for the record, lsusb identifies it as a  "Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:0870 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Express"
13:30:28  Webcam support went a lot nicer ever since that gspca thing was rolled into the mainline kernel.
13:30:43  I would try my graph calculator, but I have a TI BlackLink for that
13:30:46  so serial port
13:31:27  I have a useless webcam around here somewhere too.
13:31:50  Does 640x480 and is usable only with very well-lit targets.
13:31:53  not sure if I have any crazy stuff left to experiment with
13:31:54  oh wait
13:32:02  I have an old dumb phone with USB somewhere
13:32:06  it is a samsung as well
13:32:09  I vaguely recall that the Windows drivers worked a lot better, so maybe there's a gain setting that the Linux driver doesn't know about.
13:32:13  so that should totally work, right? XD
13:32:59  Do you have any USB wifi dongles? 
13:33:12  nope
13:33:59  samsung on samsung action: both phones turned on their screens when connected, but showed no further interest in each other. One wasn't even charging the other
13:34:08  Was wondering if it'd support that. Sounds a bit pointless, but not too far out.
13:34:16  This webcam is by Saitek.
13:34:28  Saitek made webcams?
13:34:38  Apparently so.
13:34:50  I thought they only made HID devices
13:35:00  hm, HID devices is a bit silly, like PIN number
13:35:21  It looks like this: http://www.cbiz.nu/Media/Cache/Images/3/8/WEB_Image%20Saitek%20Flexicam%20webkamera%20%20webcam%20631362926.Jpeg
13:35:34  (It folds down to be a short cylindrical thing.)
13:35:59  fizzie, maybe Nokia on samsung will work better? have an old dumbphone nokia that I now use as an incredibly loud alarm clock (it rocks for that)
13:36:04  think it has usb
13:36:09  no, acronyms are words, they should be used in the clearest way without getting hung up on the etymology of the word
13:36:11  might be usb mini instead of micro though
13:36:19  You'd think the old phone would work as a mass storage device just fine.
13:36:21  Bus 001 Device 028: ID 0c45:60fc Microdia PC Camera with Mic (SN9C105)
13:36:35  I don't think it actually has a microphone, though. But maybe it does.
13:36:41  there are situations where "ATM machine" flows better than "ATM" in a sentence, and it's not like when people hear "ATM" they think to themselves "automated teller machine"
13:36:42  fizzie, my old phones don't do mass storage
13:36:55        bInterfaceClass         1 Audio
13:36:55        bInterfaceSubClass      2 Streaming
13:36:58  Well, look at that.
13:37:17  ah the nokia does USB micro
13:37:22  so yeah I think saying "Linux has good support for HID devices" sounds better than "Linux has good support for HIDs" and that's fine
13:38:06  fizzie, hey, the nokia asks if I want to connect as "PC Suite" or "Utskrift & media" to the other thing, with "Datalagring" greyed out
13:38:17  I think the last one is greyed out since it doesn't have a microsd card
13:38:39  neither of the available options do anything though
13:38:51  [4322122.491248] input: sonixj as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:12.2/usb1/1-1/1-1.4/input/input29
13:38:56  Hah, the camera even has a button.
13:39:27  fizzie, funny thing, that Nokia doesn't charge through USB
13:39:39  it uses a separate connector for that
13:40:27  hey, lego USB tower doesn't work on 64-bit windows 7
13:40:33  works fine on linux still
13:40:37  though not on the phone
13:41:00  My work phone (Nokia C2-01) came with a charger for the "small hole" (2mm or whatever), even though it does have a µUSB port, and can charge through that.
13:41:09  heh
13:41:36  The USB hole is in the side of the phone, under one of those tiny plastic flaps, though; the regular charger connector is in the top and always open.
13:41:42  hm what about my camera... if I can find the USB cable for that (it uses a non-standard connector)
13:42:20  I get a "type 1 (EV_KEY), code 212 (KEY_CAMERA), value 1" out of /dev/input/event10 when I press the button in the webcam.
13:42:44  heh
13:43:03  where the hell is the battery for the camera...
13:43:44  or the charger...
13:45:51  Oh yes, the camera quality was just as horrible as I thought.
13:47:36  hm what about a hub
13:47:43  I should have a powered hub somewhere
13:47:50  USB 1.1 one
13:48:39  hey I found a non-optical mouse
13:48:53  What you should plug in your phone is one of those cell-modem USB sticks; then you could make phone calls and access the Internet over it, from your phone.
13:49:07  heh
13:49:11  don
13:49:14  don't* have that either
13:50:40  found USB hub
13:50:46  not sure where the adapter to it is
13:51:02  doesn't say which voltage on the port
13:51:03  so eh
13:51:40  not going to risk that
13:52:38  fizzie, speaking of USB power, I have a USB stick here that requests two units of power
13:52:40  weird
13:52:46  it is just a 512 MB stick
13:52:57  fairly old
13:55:52  Well, as mentioned, this keyboard requests three.
13:56:02  Admittedly it has a backlight kind of a thing.
13:56:31  so I watched one video about Halo 4, since I was curious as to what the franchise is about (never played any Halo games)... Guess what the recommended list on the youtube front page is filled with now...
13:56:56  fizzie, does it act as a hub as well?
13:57:13  if so that is probably why
13:57:20  No, it's just a keyboard.
13:57:24  oh
13:57:27  backlight then
13:57:50  My #1 recommendation seems to be some *really* bizarre-looking Sonic comic thing.
13:58:09  Probably I clicked some links from the Sonic let's-play videos, they had some rather bizarre links too.
13:58:53  There's a badly drawn Sonic in a hospital bed with both hands bandaged, and an annoyed-looking Knuckles looking at him.
13:59:05  (In the thumbnail; I don't think I want to watch the video.)
13:59:34  fizzie, youtube is currently ONLY recommending Halo
13:59:35  100%
13:59:41  Heh.
13:59:50  There probably are quite a few Halo videos around.
14:00:07  I think they need a bit of inertia added to that algorithm
14:00:59  Gah. I went to the "recommended for you" page, and there the #1 hit is "Funny pics of Sonic and friends 2", where the thumbnail is a comic of Amy and Shadow kissing.
14:01:09  who?
14:01:15  I never played any sonic game
14:01:30  I know who knuckles is, but Amy and Shadow? no clue
14:01:36  Amy is canonically Sonic's girlfriend, or at least a clingy thing that'd want to be his girlfriend.
14:01:39  She's very pink.
14:02:02  And Shadow is kind of like Sonic except all edgy and dark and antihero. He shoots guns, and works for G.U.N. or something.
14:02:06  " or at least a clingy thing that'd want to be his girlfriend." <-- oh? some drama there? Unanswered love?
14:02:27  Yes, I think Sonic is mostly depicted as being annoyed by her.
14:02:46  She does seem quite annoying, so maybe that's understandable.
14:03:46  There was some backstory for Shadow, but I've forgotten what it was. Some kind of an attempt to create the "ultimate life form".
14:04:22  He's Sonic's adversary in some games, but also an ally in others.
14:05:03  I see
14:05:04  All very interesting, I'm sure. :p
14:05:12  Sonic have any sort of story to it?
14:05:18  other than, beat the boss
14:05:37  The newer games tend to have bit more of that; and then there's of course the comics.
14:07:08  Sonic 3 & Knuckles have that emerald-stealing plot, so there's a bit of a story there.
14:07:42  There was always Eggman trapping little animals
14:07:47  And turning them into robots
14:07:54  Yes, there's that too.
14:08:49  But the new games do have cutscenes and all that fluff, and a story.
14:09:25  what am I reading?
14:09:51  You're reading #esoteric, the global hub of whatever it was.
14:09:54  `welcome nortti
14:10:09  ...
14:10:14  Sonic Adventure was released in 1998/1999, does that still count as new?
14:10:14  :D
14:10:16  nortti: 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.)
14:10:24  FreeFull: I'd say so
14:10:35   And turning them into robots <-- how?
14:10:36  but I think most people will disagree
14:10:40  FreeFull: It's threedee, it's new.
14:10:50  it seems an terribly inefficient way to get hold of the component materials
14:10:56  even if blod is quite rich in iron
14:11:02  Vorpal: The animals are still inside the robots.
14:11:06  Original Sonic The Hedgehog came out in 1991
14:11:07  fizzie, okay?
14:11:19  So 7 years between original and Adventure
14:11:28  Vorpal: Or something like that, anyway. I really don't know what the point is.
14:11:37  But 14 years between Adventure and now
14:11:38  ah
14:11:57  FreeFull: Yes, yes, but it's all "new games" since Sonic & Knuckles anyway.
14:12:41  ("Since" in the non-inclusive sense.)
14:23:43  http://hs11.snstatic.fi/webkuva/oletus/560/1305612374418?ts=176 -- yesterday, this was still a water tower.
14:24:00  (Then the two-million-litre tank fell off, this morning.)
14:24:13  fizzie, where? And was anyone hurt?
14:24:22  also, what about the flood from that
14:24:28  In Jyväskylä; and no, there's nobody living nearby.
14:24:38  Or at least too nearby.
14:25:02  I don't think those things tend to break quite that spectacularly, usually.

17:11:45  it sounds like he is trololololing you so that u mad

19:57:32   kmc: "As of October 2009, the states of Florida, Colorado, Utah,[11][12][13] Hawaii, Maine and Vermont had passed laws forbidding bans on clothes lines." <-- lol what? banning cloth lines?
19:57:54  in what context? Sale of them or just using them to hang clothes on?
19:59:19 * Vorpal googles it
19:59:46  okay... that's weird
20:01:42  maybe because they are deemed unsightly?
20:02:02  apparently it is associated with poverty in some parts of US.
20:02:06  very strange

20:02:18  kmc: Vorpal: you are both misreading
20:02:22  they passed laws *forbidding* bans
20:02:26  unless i am misreading you in turn
20:02:29  elliott, yeah I understand that
20:02:35  the question is why there were bans in the first place
20:02:44  elliott, I just find the concept of them being banned in the first place so weird
20:02:50  and yeah http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/11/us/11clothesline.html
20:02:52  elliott, so I was investigating that
20:02:54  fucking NIMBYs
20:03:00  kmc, fucking what?
20:03:23  nimbys
20:03:29 * Vorpal googles that
20:03:42  ah I see
20:04:50  "-- a time before clotheslines became synonymous with being too poor to afford a dryer --"
20:05:00  Weird stuff.
20:05:01  it's really fucked the degree to which your neighbors can screw with your if your house doesn't match the ideal of perfect soulless suburbian mcmansion
20:05:35  have these people ever actually used a drying machine
20:05:37  they are sort of awful
20:05:44  kmc, in US maybe... You can't really do that stuff over here
20:05:44  elliott: no the ones in the USA are great
20:05:53  kmc: reall
20:05:53  kmc: really
20:05:56  for some reason all the drying machines in the UK are awful
20:06:02  nice
20:06:02  i blame hitler
20:06:28  clothes-line-dried clothes are really nice though, i am going to be a luddite and say not even fancy us drying machines can compare
20:06:39  heck you don't even need to contact the planning offices if what you are building is small enough (forgot exact size, iirc something like 8 m² or such)
20:07:27  houses in the UK are destroyed => flimsy post-war houses built with shitty wiring => can't run a clothes dryer
20:07:33  ring circuits!
20:07:40  hah
20:07:52  in the USA a clothes dryer is a huge thing which plugs into a special outlet that has twice as many volts as usual
20:08:07  Your twice as many volts, isn't that our regular? :p
20:08:08  and it will dry a big load of clothes completely in about an hour
20:08:11  yeah
20:08:18  fizzie, you beat me to that
20:08:30  presumably it is rated for more current as well, but i don't know the figure off hand
20:08:56  fizzie, no that is just 220 actually
20:08:58  we use 230
20:09:02  probably 30A
20:09:06  Well *our* dryers plug into three-phase power. (Not really.)
20:09:29  hey, I think our washing machine is three phase
20:10:09 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined.
20:11:07  and the stove. Since there are three fuses protecting it and parts of it still works when the fuses are blown.
20:11:23  don't have a cloth drier though
20:11:55  Some of the washing machines in some more communal laundry places have used industrial plugs -- the IEC 60309 "CEE" ones -- though I haven't checked whether it's single-phase or three-phase.
20:12:20  fizzie, is your stove three phase though?
20:12:28  Sure.
20:12:50  I think there is also a three phase outlet in the greenhouse
20:12:55  since I
20:13:02  But the washing machine isn't; it's just regular Schuko.
20:13:06  Then again, it's pretty dinky.
20:13:10  I'm not the one interested in gardening in this household I have no idea what it is used for
20:13:15  some sort of heating or something maybe?
20:14:15 -!- nooga has joined.
20:14:48  "A small number of marinas provide 230 V single-phase power through a red three-phase connector (breaking the relevant standards in the process). This goes some way to ensuring that only boats that have paid the required fee (and thus obtained an appropriately made-up adaptor cable) are able to use the electricity."  Heh, nasty.
20:15:12  hah
20:15:29  fizzie, or you could make one yourself pretty easily
20:16:06  Wouldn't it be easier to, I dunno, put locks on the power boxes
20:16:18  Lumpio-, probably
20:17:35  We've got a blue CEE 2P+E single-phase <-> Schuko adapter in the boat, since marinas indeed quite often have the former.

20:18:33  fizzie, hm, does the former have any advantage?
20:18:43  like water resistance or something?
20:18:49  I suppose it's maybe more rugged by default.
20:18:55  ah
20:19:13  Though you could just put a flap on top of the regular outlet.

20:19:39  Maybe it's rated for a bit more current too, the standard size is I think 16A.
20:19:54  I just seem to recall that's Schuko's rating too.
20:20:16  Apparently so.

20:24:59  mmmmmm yes nourishing
20:25:34  I was looking at this µUSB charger that came with a Bluetooth headset, to see if I could use it also to provide power to the RPi; it's a mains-powered standalone charger, but according to the markings it manages to provide the 5V DC current at a stupendous 180 mA.
20:25:43  No wonder charging the phone with that didn't quite work out.
20:26:21  (The phone's own bundled charger does 1.2A or so.)

20:30:49  i was hoping for a full-page "samsung tablets are awesome" ad
20:30:50  elliott, quite so
20:31:14  Weren't those supposed to go into news papers or something?
20:31:19  have that happened yet
20:31:35  I seem to recall that the earlier statement was more like "the court said our tables are significantly cooler, so there, nyah nyah".

22:15:57  my mother is trying to install a purchased copy of Office on a new computer
22:16:08  doing so apparently requires creating a Windows Live account before they'll tell you your product key
22:16:22  and giving a lot of personal information as a result
22:16:27  she doesn't understand why
22:18:06  anyone here have a built-in explanation?
22:18:37  microsoft gotta get paid
22:19:06  this is after buying a copy of office, though
22:20:02  :/
22:20:14  Wtf would Office require a live account
22:20:25  ais523: which office version is that?
22:20:55  2010, no-CD-in-box version
22:21:07  they give you a code that you can put into their website to get the product key
22:21:15  but the website also forces you to log in
22:21:46  http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2012/10/31/nyregion/20121031_SANDY_GOBIG-slide-KULN/20121031_SANDY_GOBIG-slide-KULN-jumbo.jpg
22:22:10  presumably it makes it harder in some way to use the same key twice
22:23:56  i'm thinking it's an anti-piracy thing yeah
22:28:40  ais523, why use office anyway, for most people libreoffice should be just fine
22:28:48  hahahaha
22:29:04  good one Vorpal 
22:29:28  Phantom_Hoover, the powerpoint replacement is kind of terrible, but the spreadsheet and document editing parts are okay
22:29:47  at least for me
22:29:57  Unless you're trying to work on documents that are slightly more complicated than an essay with someone who uses Office.
22:30:03  do they properly import and export -- yeah
22:30:17  Sgeo, hm okay. Is that with docx or doc though?
22:30:21  never really worked with docx
22:30:59  Vorpal, even if doc worked perfectly, if docx doesn't, are you really going to convince everyone to save as doc?
22:31:28  Sgeo, we use .doc, .xls and so on at work for compatibility reasons, even though we have modern office
22:31:36  so eh, doesn't seem unreasonable
22:33:07  I don't have office at home, works just fine for me.
22:33:24  don't use libreoffice a lot either though.
22:34:20  why is everyone using libreoffice instead of openoffice?
22:34:44  when I last installed/upgraded it, openoffice was oracle, not sure if that is still the case
22:34:54  no. it is now apache
22:34:57  ah
22:35:03  nortti, what is the difference nowdays then
22:35:53  Vorpal: openoffice is under apache license
22:36:08  fair enough
22:36:14  nortti, and the other one is under gpl?
22:36:30  yes
22:36:37  I couldn't care less then.
22:36:42  any feature differences?
22:37:18  I think no
22:37:27  one of them is run by oracle, no?
22:37:42  not anymore
22:37:46  Phantom_Hoover, except it isn't any longer it seems
22:37:49  Phantom_Hoover: Oracle divested OpenOffice to Apache.
22:37:50  Hey, you know these?  http://i.imgur.com/VpfZV.jpg
22:37:59  I just made a subreddit for them.  http://www.reddit.com/r/westwoods/
22:38:13  LibreOffice is by far the better one.
22:38:22  why?
22:39:21  A major part of their development has been targetted towards "making it not suck". They've removed tons of dead code, and made it *actually integrate* into the UI on Linux systems...
22:39:39  pikhq, which UI on linux? All of them?
22:39:54  Vorpal: It integrates with GTK2, GTK3, and Qt.
22:40:01  aww, no motif
22:40:07  aww, no xaw
22:40:21  Only the useful targets.
22:40:28  why nothing integrates to my twm desktop?
22:40:31  what about CDE? for those poor SunOS users out there?
22:40:33  OO.o just looked like a Win95 program.
22:40:49  Vorpal: *Solaris* has been on GNOME for over a decade now. :)
22:40:54  pikhq, I know
22:41:01  guess why I said SunOS specifically
22:41:03  Fuck SunOS.
22:41:12  true
22:41:21  why?
22:41:40  it is ancient=?
22:41:43  s/=//

22:41:55  news at 11
22:42:16  :D
22:42:38  but really, what is so wrong with SunOS and Solaris
22:42:40  +?
22:42:51  but Motif is now free software!!!
22:43:04  and so is cde
22:43:07  kmc, heirloom or what?
22:43:19  don't know what that means
22:43:27  heirloom toolkit
22:43:32  some old *nix tools
22:43:44  probably even older ones though
22:43:49  sysv and such iirc
22:43:50  what does that have to do with motif
22:43:52  forgot the details
22:44:00  kmc, motif would fit right into there :P
22:44:06  who uses it these days
22:44:32  I do
22:44:51  I use either motif, xaw or tk
22:44:51  i would guess that "Fuck SunOS" is by contrast to Solaris

23:03:19  elliott: no. why do you ask?
23:03:49  Vorpal's irc-client is well-known to not support backlog
23:04:00  why?
23:04:17  you'd have to ask him
23:04:37  some suspect that it was not his client but in fact himself who chose to not read backlog to the inconvenience of others
23:04:41  but those are just rumours

23:07:06  elliott: that is only ais line I can find before my backlog goes so corrupted it can't be read
23:07:23  maybe you should use an irc client that doesn't corrupt your backlog
23:07:27  quite a good feature IMHO

23:07:46  i don't dare to ask how that differs from irssi

23:08:52  the problem is either ncurses version in broken gentoo installation last updated in 2009, irssi compiled wrong or screen messing something up
23:09:25  have you asked the geek squad
23:09:30  no
23:09:49  nortti: have you tried not using a broken gentoo installation last updated in 2009
23:10:25  elliott: it is not my server. it is mailserver of my irc friend
23:10:47  monqy: irssi is up to date
23:11:00  nortti: have you tried not using a broken gentoo installation last updated in 2009
23:11:22  elliott: yes. the problem was not present on my own computer
23:12:31  but you'r still using a broken gentoo installation last updated in 2009??
23:12:48  is this some sort of friend agreement
23:12:52  no
23:12:57  use the mailserver or you are no longer pals
23:13:03  monqy: the dumpster gods wanted his computer back
23:13:12  oh no!
23:13:19  don't take my computer!

02:53:03  Wonder if I can fix it up so that it can interact with Clojure in a more idiomatic way than dealing with the Java objects directly
02:53:10  http://tcljava.sourceforge.net/docs/website/
02:54:00  I actually potentially have a use for this thing, although probably writing my own parser for the data in question and just rewriting the code would make more sense
02:54:46  Sgeo: by "use" do you mean "thing you will actually use"
02:55:51  No. I have no real reason to rewrite this project from scratch, in a way that will possibly cause pain for actual user in that a JVM would be needed.

03:43:52  would that be good or bad?
03:44:01  That… is such a retarded way to fix the system, but oh well, better than nothing.
03:45:31  yep
03:47:30  another option is for states to allocate their EVs proportionally to the statewide popular vote, rather than all-or-nothing
03:47:41  neither of those requires a compact or a federal constitutional amendment
03:48:45  Oh, it's November already.

04:04:26  Gregor: but like every electoral trend, that could change in any given year
04:08:43  "an electoral trend could change in any given year" sounds like an electoral trend.
04:08:54  Or is that a metaëlectoral trend, and therefore immune to itself?
04:09:52  you are mistaken in interpreting it as a trend
04:10:47  a trend is "this has always been" while that is just "this might or might not be"

10:58:32  I heard Kinesis is good.
10:58:41  I think kmc might know something.

11:00:33  shachaf, that maybe looks too ergonomical (Kinesis), seems kind of hard to get used to
11:01:00  I know a few people who use it and like it.
11:01:07  wouldn't want to buy that without trying it first. And there aren't really any good physical shops around here that would have it.
11:01:23  that is a bit of an issue
11:01:55  WHO NEEDS GOD WHEN YOU CAN HAVE A MALTRON
11:03:52  heh
11:04:02  Jafet, why not go for a Datahand while you are at it :P
11:04:34  anyway, I want something that isn't completely different, I'm not only typing on it. Game keymappings still need to make sense for me. As do emacs keymappings.
11:05:17  also if the layout is going to be different I would need a reasonable Swedish keymapping for it still
11:07:29  I had one of the "Microsoft Natural Ergonomic" line keyboards once -- something like the http://www.verkkokauppa.com/files/images/71/2_27314-358x228.jpeg except few (dozen?) product generations back.
11:07:53  Can't say I liked it terribly much, but keyboards are kind of personal things.
11:09:19  (The one in the image is Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 -- I think the one I had didn't have any numbers.)
11:10:04  fizzie, yeah the modern ones appear to be ultraflat
11:10:13  well okay not that one
11:10:19  I was looking at the curve one
11:10:29  which is a bit between that and normal keyboards
11:10:35  I liked the older curve ones
11:11:07  The Comfort Curve 3000 seems kinda flat, yes.
11:11:12  sadly so
11:12:03  I used a 2000 at one point, it was kind of slightly flatter than classical keyboards, but not as flat as the 3000 appears
11:12:14  (Some) gamer keyboards look kind of different.
11:12:16  http://www.verkkokauppa.com/files/images/97/2_137749-1000x1000.jpeg

11:12:24  lol what
11:12:55  don't really need that. All I really need is a comfortable standard keyboard + volume buttons. Anything else I don't really care about

11:17:47  uh uh, it has a "nordic" layout too?

11:23:04  ion, async in what way?
11:23:07  non-blocking IO?
11:23:33  vorpal: Tell it to start doing something, block in poll()/select(), then read the result.
11:23:38  if so couldn't you just create a thread to handle the request for you and have that notify you async
11:23:55  but yeah I have no idea if it supports it
11:23:58  what do the docs say?
11:24:02  and what happen if you try it
11:24:10  Yeah, using threads is an alternative.
11:25:06  It supports read() for a subset of the functionality: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/i2c/dev-interface
11:25:40  Namely, the equivalent of i2c_smbus_read_byte.
11:26:24  But i’d like to be able to use the full API asynchronously.
11:28:01  ion, what sort of device are you interfacing with?
11:28:24  It's a scroll wheel, yes.
11:28:28  It's for zooming.
11:28:49  An accelerometer, a magnetometer, a gyroscope, a barometer and a temperature sensor.
11:28:59  ion, hm... laptop?
11:29:05  (The version I had had no wheels.)
11:29:09  or a smartphone?
11:29:12  Oh, and another pressure sensor with a pitot tube.
11:29:17  An RC airplane.
11:29:19  ah
11:29:48  ion, yeah I could guess when you mentioned pitot tube :P
11:31:01  upgrading ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04.1 on a laptop here, there is always something that goes wrong isn't it. This time lsb_release stopped working partway through the upgrade and the upgrade process is spewing warnings as a result, still seem to work
11:31:09  also wth
11:31:28  mojabake error dialog showed up. With two mojabake buttons
11:31:33  I have no idea what that is for
11:45:40  The change in version number represents how many things have been replaced for no reason
11:45:49  hah
11:45:58  true
11:46:29  Jafet, which is why I'm doing this upgrade on an old, otherwise unused, laptop first.
11:46:50  to see how much time I will need to set aside to clean up the mess when I do it on this modern laptop
11:47:08  well, reasonably modern laptop anyway
11:47:43  Upgrading ubuntu: echo deb ftp.debian.org/debian sid main > /etc/apt/sources.list
11:47:55  nice one
11:48:40  (You will need to use the Terminal for that. Open the Terminal from the Start Menu. I mean the App Launcher.)
11:50:20  Jafet, I'm going to convert it into xubuntu after the upgrade anyway
11:52:48  XXXbuntu.

16:31:12  or*
16:31:18  but hah
16:32:14  unity runs like shit on the laptop I'm upgrading to 12.04 anyway
16:32:24  Pentium M with 512 MB RAM so not surprised
16:33:02  In 12.10 with LLVMPipe I'm sure it'd be BLAZING FAST.
16:33:03  Vorpal: use lubuntu
16:33:25  is lubuntu ubuntu for losers?
16:33:30  I'm considering switching to dwm
16:33:59  Why are three leds of the switch blinking if I'm downloading a file? Two I'd get.
16:34:44  kmc: it is ubuntu with lxde
16:35:17  Is there an Enlightenment-Ubuntu too? Enbuntu? 
16:35:44  lxde isn't a real de
16:35:45  fizzie: you forgot about the NSA intercept port
16:35:54  It's just a bunch of different things put together
16:37:09  Ok, half of it was written for it
16:37:24  I remember running Enlightenment... E14? Something like that. It was very impressive-looking.
16:37:31  Compared to fvwm95 anyway.
16:37:33  I "like" how unity by default comes with 7 out of 10 icons being open office and the rest being pretty much indistinguishable other useless stuff
16:37:40  except the magic button for accessing everything else
16:37:44   Vorpal: use lubuntu <-- uh... LXDE?
16:37:51  http://fvwm95.sourceforge.net/screenshot-full.gif SO HOT
16:37:56  haven't tried that for years, but eh, didn't like it back then
16:37:57  (i.e. useful, but still indistinguishable)
16:38:27  nortti, anyway the only reason I upgrade that laptop is so I can figure out all the issues before I upgrade my modern laptop
16:38:52  nortti, other than that it is just used when I need a serial port
16:39:31   ah ok
16:39:49  use gentoo
16:39:52  Incidentally, couldn't manage to convince pulseaudio (via pavucontrol) to make the laptop to mute the internal speakers while at the same time keeping the optical s/pdif jack unmuted.
16:40:35  Fortunately the volume control doesn't (naturally) affect the s/pdif stream, so I could just turn the volume REAL LOW (but not quite to 0, that muted both) so that the internal speakers were inaudible.
16:40:42  Such an elegant solution.
16:41:41  pulseaudio - makes even alsa look good
16:41:43  http://youtu.be/5Ro9yu6Jces?t=2m33s
16:42:13  fuck pulseaudio
16:42:52  A lot of its functionality belongs in the kernel, but despite that my experiences with it have been positive.
16:43:24  I use oss
16:43:27  ah, http://toastytech.com/guis/ubuntu114dash.png
16:43:36  of course you do nortti
16:44:08  I have never had any problems with it
16:44:53  only 3 OOo icons, but 5 mysterious ones, plus the "home" thing that you somehow have to figure out is the way to access anything else
16:44:54  You can *gasp* add and remove favorite programs to/from the sidebar.
16:45:53  My experiences with PA have been really bland. It's worked well enough, and I like the way I can easily route different streams to different outputs without trying to figure out each program's well-hidden audio device configuration method, but sometimes there's things like the aforementioned.
16:46:00  I guess the gods have deliberated and decided that the only things ubuntu systems are really used for is spreadsheets, presentations, and whatever the big "U" thing is
16:46:17  olsner: It's Ubuntu One, I'm pretty sure.
16:46:25  yes, whatever that is :)
16:46:26  olsner: See, it has a little "1" inside the U.
16:46:28  olsner: What would be the better set of defaults?
16:46:58  ion: dunno, I think the big problem is that everything else is hidden
16:48:03  The home thing is an equally big button on the top of the sidebar nowadays. That’s an old screenshot.
16:48:37  Is “everything hidden” in Windows™ because it’s available from the button in the bottom left corner? http://www.activewin.com/screenshots/windows7/Peek%20-%20After.png
16:49:05  Is it, these days? I thought they got rid of that in 8.
16:49:19  Is “everything” hidden in OSX because it’s available from one of the buttons in the bottom panel? http://www.guidebookgallery.org/pics/gui/desktop/empty/macosx102.png
16:49:48   Is “everything hidden” in Windows™ because it’s available from the button in the bottom left corner? http://www.activewin.com/screenshots/windows7/Peek%20-%20After.png <-- what happened there?
16:49:51  it looks strange
16:50:07  http://windows7themes.net/wp-content/gallery/windows-8-screenshots/Windows_8_screenshot.png
16:50:33  ion, that isn't metro though
16:50:50  Vorpal: There's no such thing as Metro nowdays either.
16:51:03  fizzie, whatever they changed the name to then
16:51:16  "Modern UI".
16:51:25  lol what
16:51:26  Or possibly "Windows 8".
16:51:31  uh
16:51:57  wasn't it "Windows 8 style user experience" ?
16:52:03  Or "Microsoft design language" in place of "Metro design language".
16:52:04  I think a row of icons without text or a search box are both really bad ways to find stuff
16:52:10  ... what both the start menu and mac's application thingy have (last time I checked) is that they give you a big list/grid of everything you can do
16:52:44  AIUI, it's "Start screen" now, and it's full of "tiles".
16:53:23  Some of the tiles are also "live".
16:53:29  (They're "made of people"?)
16:53:39  You get the big list and the search box by clicking on the big Ubuntu logo on the top. There are tooltips for everything in the vertical panel.
16:54:00  tooltips are useless
16:54:25  There's also a Charms bar in 8.
16:54:34  "Start. Get to your Start screen. Or if you're already on Start, you can use this charm to go back to the last app you were in."
16:54:42  Very charming.
16:54:55  I don’t see text in the OSX dock or the Windows quick launcher either.
16:55:39  Nor do they contain a search bar.
16:56:48 -!- elliott has joined.
16:56:51  elliott, hi!
16:56:59  hi
16:56:59  elliott: You have 1 new message. '/msg lambdabot @messages' to read it.
16:57:40  elliott, keyboard recommendations? I need a new one. Something ergonomic and not ultra flat. Nothing crazy like the data hand though :P
16:58:06  Vorpal: depends what you mean by ergonomic & your budget
16:58:09  Vorpal: POWER GLOVE.
16:58:43  Vorpal: model m?
16:58:50  Vorpal: however take a look at http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/keyboards.htm
16:58:56  elliott, budget, up to approx 150 USD or so. Not a sharp line
16:59:01  Vorpal: they use cherry brown switches
16:59:16  elliott, and ergonomic: my hands must stop hurting, they are hurting from the temp keyboard I'm using atm
16:59:24  well at least the advantage ones do
16:59:36  i hear good only things about them but haven't used them mind you
16:59:48  elliott, so something that means your wrists can be straight lines. I really liked the old MS Comfort Curve keyboards, but the modern one appears to be ultra flat
16:59:59  kinesis advantage is great
17:00:01  ion: true, the quick launchers don't have text on any os ... but the menu/thing you get to display all applications is usually useful in !unity :)
17:00:12  whereas unity apparently requires me to Search for whatever I want (and I won't know exactly what it's called until after I find it)
17:00:13  kmc, issue: game keybindings appear to be weird on that
17:00:19  kmc, also how long does it take to get used ot
17:00:21  to*
17:00:23  not very long
17:00:25  hm
17:00:32  Vorpal: that's the one i linked btw
17:00:42  elliott, yeah it is loading
17:00:51  if your hands hurt and you use qwerty i also suggest switching to a better layout
17:00:52  they sell an "advanced" "reprogrammable" version but i suspect it does nothing you cannot do more easily in software
17:00:54  that will take longer
17:01:09  nortti: btw model m is pretty much ergonomically terrible
17:01:21  kmc, possible, but my hands never hurt with qwerty except on straight traditional keyboards.
17:01:53  well i'd say it all matters
17:01:59  maybe you only need one or the other change
17:02:02  but both could be better long-term
17:02:21  kmc, since I'm really wide at the shoulders, the small keyboard area of a traditional PC keyboard basically means I need to angle my wrists quite a bit
17:02:29  which is why a curved keyboard is better
17:02:29  i had this experience of changing one thing, and then my hands would eventually start to hurt again, and repeat
17:02:32  yeah
17:02:44  olsner: The per-category installed applications browser isn’t *that* bad, but i admit it could be better.
17:02:46  also look out for awkwardly placed keys that you use often
17:02:51  that's one great thing about the kinesis
17:02:56  kmc, oh?
17:03:01  if kinesis sold an advantage keyboard with topre switches i'd buy it
17:03:05  it'd cost like $9999999 though
17:03:12  ion: maybe it is, but I haven't seen it... how do you find it?
17:03:21  Vorpal: http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/images/kb_adv-blk720x471.jpg note the two thumb clusters
17:03:29  Vorpal: anyway the advantage is $299 rather than $150 though maybe you can get a deal on it somewhere or buy a second-hand one
17:03:34  kmc, hm yeah
17:03:35  those have ctrl, alt, backspace, delete, home, end, enter, space, etc
17:03:50  Vorpal: i seriously doubt you will find a keyboard that (a) has good switches and (b) a non-traditional layout for cheap though
17:03:56  though e.g. i had to bind a second escape key
17:03:59  cause i use vim
17:04:10  i recently learned about https://github.com/alols/xcape which lets you use capslock as ctrl and capslock as esc at the same time
17:04:20  maybe i'll switch over to that
17:04:21  kmc, two questions: have you used it with 1) emacs 2) various modern games?
17:04:22  btw if anyone ever has lots of money
17:04:26  please buy me a datahand
17:04:34  not much of either
17:04:45  kinesis seems pretty good for emacs
17:04:56  ctrl and alt are on opposite sides
17:05:00  olsner: Click on the applications tab in the dash or hit Windows-A and select “Filter results” if it’s not open already.
17:05:00  elliott, I can go higher than $150 sure
17:05:02  another example, on my laptop keyboard there's this awkward 3-key combination i hit all the time
17:05:10  and i'm trying to train myself to use the opposite hand for one of the keys (shift)
17:05:15  so you can ctrl-alt-shift
17:05:21  you just have to pay attention to that stuff
17:05:21  elliott, one issue is that how will I know without trying it
17:05:27  learn hjkl for vim instead of using arrow keys
17:05:27  etc.
17:05:30  not a lot of keyboard shops around here
17:05:34  Vorpal: well you won't
17:05:41  elliott, could be costly thus
17:05:51  FWIW, this is what i see when i hit the Windows™ key or click on the top button in the launcher. It displays the recent applications and files and focuses in the search bar. http://i.imgur.com/VX74S.jpg
17:05:56  Vorpal: you could sell it on ebay or something
17:05:58  elliott, if I knew I would like it I wouldn't hesitate to spend $700, but...
17:06:02  Arrow keys work while in insert mode though
17:06:04  what's $700?
17:06:08  FreeFull: yeah
17:06:11  so i still use them sometimes
17:06:13  kmc, money?
17:06:15  datahand is over $700 i think
17:06:18  but Vorpal was just using a hyperbolic figure
17:06:21  oh, i thought you meant the kinesis advantage
17:06:24  which is like $250
17:06:26  kmc: do you know about the datahand
17:06:26  which is still crazy
17:06:28  no
17:06:34  elliott, I doubt I would like datahand though
17:06:38  oh yeah this thing
17:06:41  kmc: http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/8559/dhhandinunitof2.jpg
17:06:44  ion: oh, but that's the search thingy, is that the same as the applications tab?
17:06:48  you flick really light magnetic switches to type
17:06:56  it even does mouse input
17:07:25  olsner: It’s the button next to the activated home button in the bottom of the windowish thingy. Windows™-A opens it directly.
17:07:37  elliott, I doubt it is very good for playing an FPS with though. Which I sometimes do.
17:07:47  olsner: Hold down the Windows™ key to see the list of keyboard shortcuts.
17:08:00  elliott, what about MS natural keyboards?
17:08:09  I don't know anything about the modern ones
17:08:10  Vorpal: how you sit and where your keyboard is are also super important
17:08:20  but i don't know much about that
17:08:21  Vorpal: here are videos of crazy people using a kinesis advantage https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=kinesis+advantage
17:09:22  I want DataHand , but it’s insanely expensive.
17:09:42  elliott, I'm sure it can be good if you get used to it, but it is a expensive investment and I'm not purely a typist, so it still need to work for other stuff, such as playing games.
17:09:52  ion: hmm, so unity could've avoided most of my rage just by making a different tab of the search thingy open by default?
17:09:56  elliott, so hrrm
17:10:09  i work at a 7 person company and we have 2 people with the kinesis advantage keyboard
17:10:18  and the other guy (not me) has the foot pedals as well
17:10:27  olsner: Perhaps. I’ve been happy with the default.
17:10:29  kmc, what do the foot pedals do?
17:10:38  you can map them to any keypress or macro
17:10:49  Vorpal: well kinesis advantage is just a regular keyboard with a gap... I guess it is bad if you have a game whose shortcuts spill over to the right hand side but you could just rebind those?
17:10:53  kmc, hey I already have some Saitek rudder pedals
17:10:56  :P
17:11:02  Vorpal: I haven't seen any ergonomic-as-in-curved-a-bit keyboards with good switches
17:11:08  maybe i should build a crazy foot keyboard to one-up him
17:11:40  elliott, you can't rebind everything usually. Look at minecraft for example, can't rebind 1-0 for quick slots
17:11:41  Vorpal: kinesis sell other keyboards: http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/max-spec.htm http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/freestyle2.htm but idk what switches they use
17:11:55  well you can rebind things at the OS level if nothing else
17:12:16  or buy the reprogrammable ~kinesis advantage pro~ for only $359! but wait, there's more!!
17:12:22  "The award winning Kinesis Maxim adjustable ergonomic computer keyboard is the only ergonomic keyboard licensed to use the Microsoft "combo" USB/PS2 technology" <-- lol what
17:13:05  shouldn't we all be using chording keyboards by now
17:13:10  elliott, hrrm, no numpads? oh well
17:13:18  Vorpal: numpads are awful anyway :p
17:13:23  i have the advantage pro but it wasn't $359
17:13:26  elliott, except for nethack ;)
17:13:39  Vorpal: hjklyubn
17:13:43  :P
17:13:45  my #1 complaint with the kinesis is no nipple pointer
17:13:58  kmc, a track point would have been nice yes
17:14:32  19:13 < kmc> shouldn't we all be using chording keyboards by now // I am building one
17:14:41  elliott, anyway since I would need to learn to touch type again with something like the advantage... can you get them with Swedish layouts?
17:15:11  yeah i started building one too
17:15:25  ideally i would mold clay or something to match the resting shape of my hands
17:15:43  kmc, so a home built datahand?
17:15:45  no
17:15:53  then what?
17:16:00  Keyboard layouts are fully OS-dependent, as long as the keys have all the right shape
17:16:14  for starters the resting shape would be gripping a vertical rod, not flat horizontally
17:16:28  but it would be a chording keyboard, not a datahand type
17:16:40  just a single switch for each finger
17:16:49  Vorpal: i doubt you can get them with other layouts but you shouldn't be looking at the keyboard if you are learning to touch type anyway :P
17:17:09  elliott, useful to learn where the key is at all I guess
17:17:10  I want one of those keyboards with blank keycaps
17:17:24  Vorpal: i really doubt the adjustment period is that bad, though... if not for the space between the two sides it would just be a regular keyboard with a slope
17:17:37  FreeFull: don't buy a das keyboard
17:17:53  but it makes you a real ninja rockstar
17:18:02  kmc: you won't have enought combos for alphabet+numbers
17:18:04  elliott, the stuff under the thumbs is different but eh
17:18:21  > 2**10
17:18:22    1024.0
17:18:24  you can buy label-less replacement keycaps from places
17:18:38  kmc, where is alt on the advantage?
17:18:39  kmc: ah. you are making 2 hand one?
17:18:43  Switching keycaps around would be a pain
17:18:43  nortti: it would be, yeah
17:18:51  Vorpal: clear solution is to switch to colemak simultaneously
17:18:58  hah
17:19:02  well maybe one hand, plus another hand that is basically a mouse or trackball but has a few other keyboard modifiers
17:19:04  FreeFull: less of a pain than typing on a keyboard as low-quality as das keyboard
17:19:13  My only requirement is that the keyboard is the standard big-enter layout
17:19:17  No small enter please
17:19:17  well it's better-quality than your average rubber dome probably but it's really bad
17:19:24  FreeFull, yeah!
17:19:30  Vorpal: it's on the thumb cluster
17:19:31  one of them
17:19:37  mine are all remapped
17:19:47  I see
17:19:50  actually i think alt isn't but i don't use it very much
17:19:51  i think i would be unable to use an advantage because my hands are too small and i wouldn't be able to use the thumb bits
17:19:52  I used to have a model m but it broke
17:20:01  It was a DIM one anyway
17:20:10  my housemate has a pckeyboard model m successor
17:20:13  it's really really loud
17:20:20  kmc: I am building 1 handed one with state 2 state switch keys that thumb can access
17:20:24  he is one floor above me right now and it sounds like machine gun fire
17:20:31  i think model m is overrated
17:20:33  yeah
17:20:36  the switches are way too heavy
17:20:36  i had one for a while
17:20:46  first an original m and then a pckeyboard one
17:20:51  model m is nice but not as nice as some say
17:21:04  they feel satisfying to use but they aren't really ergonomic in any sense
17:21:27  elliott, so if I would go for something that wasn't such a huge investment, what about a MS natural keyboard, they are certainly cheaper. And the older models at least were quite comfortable
17:21:38  what sort of key caps do they have
17:21:39  DIN*
17:21:44  Not DIM =P
17:21:58  DIM a From 1 To 10
17:22:23  anyway yeah i think having a good chair and desk is at least as important as having a good keyboard
17:22:42  but i fail at these things
17:22:43  Vorpal: aren't those rubber dome
17:22:51  elliott, that is what I'm wondering
17:22:55  i can't really in good conscience recommend a rubber dome keyboard even though i'm typing on one right now
17:23:07  I still think microsoft make the best mice, well traditional mice at least. Never liked trackballs and such
17:23:27  i'm typing on a thinkpad keyboard right now, which is a scissor mechanism above a rubber dome
17:23:34  they're pretty good as far as laptop keyboards go
17:23:38  well yeah
17:23:39  Vorpal: microsoft mice are just rebranded logitech mice
17:24:00  i hear the new one (island layout) is also very good, but i am fearful that they've screwed it all up massively
17:24:04  FreeFull, hm, pretty sure they use a different outer shell too?
17:24:14  however it's true that the internal mechanism of the "classic" keyboard did change all the time
17:24:19  Vorpal: http://www.trulyergonomic.com/store/index.php this uses cherry switches apparentlt
17:24:20  *apparently
17:24:22  that layout is wack tho
17:24:30  btw fuck colemak
17:24:37  oh and it's $229
17:24:40  what's wrong with colemak
17:24:41  elliott, lol, that looks crazy
17:24:45  what's the point of being 50% qwerty
17:24:49  you still need to relearn how to type
17:24:51  kmc: thats not the design goal of colemak
17:24:52  common misconception
17:24:55  and dvoark is more standard, it's in every OS
17:24:58  oh, what is it then
17:25:01  FreeFull, the logitech mice I used haven't been nearly as good as my "Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000"
17:25:14  FreeFull, which Logitech mouse is that based on then
17:25:17  elliott: looking at that trulyergonomic keyboard makes me feel like i'm drunk
17:25:33  does anyone know how to use one handed dvorak on linux?
17:25:47  kmc: well "easy to learn for qwerty typers" is one of the goals I think but I hear it actually fares better than Dvorak
17:25:49  e.g. "According to carpalx, which is the most extensive research on keyboard layouts done so far, Colemak wins over Dvorak and QWERTY in all different typing effort models."
17:26:02  interesting
17:26:09  kmc: also one of the reasons for the qwerty closeness is to make common computer shortcuts less awful to type compared to dvorak it seems
17:26:20  (note that that quote is from the colemak site so it's obviously biased but i don't see any reason the study itself (http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/carpalx/) would be biased)
17:26:49  http://colemak.com/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ#What.27s_wrong_with_the_Dvorak_layout.3F
17:27:00  if i switched from qwerty it would probably be to colemak
17:27:04  i doubt i can be bothered any time soon though
17:27:09  is this carpalx thing based on actual science (e.g. human physiology)
17:27:42  or is it one of those "i'm a programmer therefore i must be an expert in all fields" things
17:27:49  kmc: RTFA http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/carpalx/?keyboard_evaluation
17:28:01  i was looking for that
17:28:19  so where are the citations
17:28:24  http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/carpalx/?worst_layout
17:28:27  i should switch to TNWMLC
17:28:40  I'm staying with qwerty
17:28:57  The only word that's awkward for me to type on a qwerty keyboard is qwerty itself
17:28:59  elliott: so that FAQ does say "The main problem with Dvorak is that it's too difficult and frustrating to learn for existing QWERTY typists because it's so different from QWERTY."
17:29:33  'Placing 'L' on the QWERTY 'P' position causes excessive strain on the right pinky.'  what? i hit that key with the ring finger
17:29:33  right but then it says other things
17:29:37  using the pinky would be absurd
17:29:42  maybe for people with much smaller hands
17:30:23  advantages of colemak: you can type "arse" on the home row
17:30:42  "'F' is on the QWERTY 'Y' position which is a difficult stretch on normal keyboards." so?  f is an uncommon key
17:30:47  something will be hard to hit
17:30:57  elliott: i can type shithead
17:31:35  anyway i don't doubt that colemak has some advantages (and dvorak some) but i've never seen anything to outweigh the fact that dvorak is already installed on most computers in the world and i can sit down and switch to it with 15 seconds of effort
17:32:25  elliott: But on a qwerty you can type arse with your left hand
17:32:31  why is it so hard to find info how to use one-handed dvorak on linux?
17:33:09  nortti: Because not many people do that maybe
17:33:11  It's not like using my pinky for typing is excessive stress.
17:34:13  so yeah this carpalx thing has a big complicated model, with zero citations to any existing literature or any empirical studies of the suitability of that model
17:34:17  why are programmers so bad at science
17:34:48  Programmers have this idea that if you can measure it, you should optimize it.
17:34:57  but they can't measure it!
17:35:00  And damn the notion that you need to optimize things you actually want to be optimal.
17:35:06  This is a metric.
17:35:07  kmc: How big is your sample of programmers?
17:35:09  i mean, they are measuring some completely pulled-out-of-ass thing
17:35:11  FreeFull: c.c
17:35:19  Whether or not the metric is relevant is not necessary. :)
17:35:32  We have a metric, now to optimize for it.
17:35:45  Nobody wants the optimal solution, the most optimized solution is where it's at.
17:35:52  yeah
17:35:53  I.e. the one which took longest to optimize.
17:36:08  bonus points if you use something fancy like genetic algorithm even where a simple gradient descent would suffice
17:36:17  apparently this guy invented port knocking
17:36:21  shrug
17:36:32  it's a fine idea that i'm sure many people have thought of
17:38:35  when i was young i coded a GA in Perl to figure out how to most efficiently burn all my pirated music and tv shows onto CD-Rs

18:25:20  FreeFull: yeah i just bought 6 of those
18:26:50  it does seem extravagent but having random access to everything without thinking is pretty useful
18:27:53  yeah i used CD-Rs because i was a kid and didn't have money for extravagences like DVD burning
18:27:58  but i did get a DVD burner eventually
18:28:25  also i had an MP3-CD player
18:29:33  FreeFull, I only have two eSATA ports though
18:29:45  and hm two USB3
18:30:19  you can get external enclosures that use multiple drives and plug into a single eSATA port
18:30:33  MP3-CD players were the best
18:30:51  at a time when a nice flash-based MP3 player had 64MB of storage
18:30:53  Funnily enough, I have never owned a DVD burner.
18:31:07  I own a late 90s CD burner still. I use it maybe once a year, if not less.

18:31:17  Vorpal: Hotswappable HDD bay
18:31:18  We used to go over to Tallinn to buy DVD-R's; a lot cheaper there, partially due to them not having this extra tax-like "renumeration for private copying" price they add to all empty media, and I think hard drives and such too these days.
18:31:18  you could fit 10x that on a CD-R that cost 50¢
18:31:21  and a DVD-RAM device in my laptop
18:31:26  It still *works* is the amazing bit.
18:31:28  FreeFull, hm that would work
18:31:34  Does a whole 12x.

18:34:01  we had this really sketchy traveling computer show in Iowa that would set up shop for a week in the livestock showing barn at the faregrounds
18:34:08  I have about 80% unused of the last stack of 50 "PRINCO" brand DVD-R's I got there.
18:35:26  also Iowa LAN parties were great
18:35:45  because people would come from all over the state, from rural places that had really crappy dial-up or satellite Internet
18:35:49  so they would come to play games
18:36:01  but they would *also* come to run KaZaA in the background at full speed

18:54:05  For the record, the "copying-renumeration-tax" for a single DVD is 0.60 EUR; that's kind of much when the actual price is something like 0.20 EUR/disc. (Price calculated from the first 100-disc spindle from newegg; is perhaps representative.)
19:02:07  wow, that is outrageous
19:02:13  i didn't know they had that in not-US
19:02:20  but it makes sense because the US writes copyright law for the rest of the world
19:03:38  We started it in 1984; the US apparently in 1992.

19:05:42  you're gonna fly high, you're never gonna die you're gonna make it if you try they're gonna *love* you

19:05:47  fizzie: Re. the DVDs: fi.wikipedia says the tax is 74% of the price
19:05:55  kmc: help
19:06:22  Deewiant: I think they've changed the numbers; those are from 2007.
19:06:40  Deewiant, 74%!?
19:06:43  that is insane 
19:06:45  Deewiant: The 0.60 EUR/disc came from http://www.tulli.fi/fi/suomen_tulli/julkaisut_ja_esitteet/kasikirjat/rajoituskasikirja/liitetiedostot/hyvitysmaksu.pdf that's dated December 2011.
19:07:09  fizzie: It's correct, the 2007 bit is just for the price of the disc without the tax
19:08:11  Deewiant: The latest is http://www.hyvitysmaksu.fi/teosto/hymysivut.nsf/0/0f085260b8604de9c22573b1003c22ec/$FILE/Asetus2012_FI.pdf and it too says 0.60 EUR per disc.
19:08:24  Deewiant: Unlike fi.wikipedia, which claims 0.73.
19:08:36  fizzie: It says "arvonlisäveroineen", and 0.6 * 1.22 is ~0.73
19:08:41  atriq: I'm with kmc on this.
19:08:46  Deewiant: Oh; right, then.
19:09:04  atriq: why do you have a cigar
19:09:07  fizzie: Although shouldn't it be 1.23 these days? In which case it's off by a cent
19:09:19  Deewiant: I think it should, yes.
19:09:20  Unless they're rounding down; whatever
19:09:33  Maybe it's not all that important.
19:09:42  In any case, the non-tax price of a disc is probably lower so it's probablby more than 74% these days.
19:09:46  -b

19:20:41  It just vaporises something, I know that much.
19:20:48  well both do that yeah
19:21:08  Yes, perhaps the combined model can share some parts.
19:21:17  given that lightsabers are lightsaber-handle-sized and e-cigs are cigarette-sized, it should be fairly easy to tell them apart
19:21:37  it vaporizes 'a propylene glycol- or glycerin- or polyethylene glycol-based liquid solution '
19:21:53  olsner: Maybe they've made thinner handles these days. Anyway, they weren't made up like fake cigarettes.
19:22:16  technically everything fizzie says is made up
19:22:38  OK fizzie but you're going to look like a right tit if you're trying to smoke a lightsabre handle
19:22:44  kmc, and that gives the same result as nicotine?
19:23:05  presumably, the solution contains nicotine
19:23:07  Vorpal, it contains nicotine, so... yes.
19:23:11  ah right
19:23:11  Oh, there's a flaw in Clojure that I thought of, but I may have mentioned it before
19:23:30  Sgeo_: i don't think you've ever mentioned Clojure here, actually
19:23:48  I like that wikipedia article, it's so encyclopædic: "Newer e cigarettes are using the two piece design now. You now have a battery and a disposable cartomizer. The old three piece method was bad because the cartridge did not hold much "e-juice" and the atomizers were burning up after one or two refills. With the new two piece you get a better "throat hit" and plenty of vapor."
19:24:18  The tone is *exactly* like, say, Encyclopædia Britannica.
19:24:41  http://www.thedailychronic.net/2012/8422/thc-e-cig-goes-to-market/
19:24:50  encyclopædophile
19:27:07  derpyclopædia
19:29:00  i actually find it remarkable how consistent the tone is on wikipedia
19:29:13  given the number of editors
19:29:20  there are some aberrations like this article, of course
19:29:58  but mostly people converge to a shared style in a way that's almost creepy
19:30:09  It's the mind control, I'd say.
19:30:18  another explanation is that there are many authors but few editors; people add content and then the core editors massage the style
19:30:24  I think what they had were maybe something a tiny bit like http://unlimitedecigs.com/store/products/mega-ego-ce5-e-cigarette although I didn't really get a close look.
19:30:32  which i think is supported by the data on edits
19:30:43  But that thing has some slight lightsabreish vibes in there.
19:30:49  at one point http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elektrichka was less of an encyclopedia article and more a guide on how to ride trains without paying
19:31:04  man i would buy that thing just for how cool it looks
19:31:26  i rode a suburban train in riga without paying so maybe i've been dog-riding
19:32:19  no kmc, you've been train-riding
19:32:27  the differences are at once subtle and glaring
19:33:25  also in warszawa the gap between train and platform was like 30 cm or more, wtf
19:33:52  all the more space to get out if you fall down!
19:34:17  trains are scary
19:34:27  fizzie: including 2 MEGA EGO batteries, nice
19:34:41  olsner: Just in case you're having ego problems.
19:35:25  Apparently you can have one of 14 different colors for that middle translucent bit, too.
19:35:40  how do you know if you're running low on ego?
19:36:03  There's a handy scale printed on top of the EGO-CE5 Cartomizer.
19:36:22  (Also available in 14 different colors!)
19:36:32  wow, red bull flavored nicotine liquid

00:15:27  i mean
00:15:28  uh
00:15:37  if you like writing lots of HDL code
00:20:56  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  what's FamicomHDL?
00:22:34  Hardware description for Famicom cartridges
00:22:51  It is actually a library in Haskell
00:23:14  16:22  Ohh xkcd
00:23:15  16:22  The monty python of nerds
00:23:15  16:22  :P
00:24:30  isn't that monty python

00:26:41  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  And of course you also need to import (or define) functions such as makeROM, connects, cpuAddress, etc
00:28:59  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.

01:22:44  yes
01:22:51  that is a pretty vague question though
01:23:00  whatcha whatcha whatcha want
01:25:56  well i thought i figured out what i wanted
01:25:58  but then i became less sure
01:26:03  i realise it is vague
01:26:21  what i am wondering is how the hell do you communicate with tcp_diag from wizmode
01:26:38  kernel docs for /proc/net/tcp{,6} say that they are deprecated in favour of tcp_diag
01:26:45  but i have no idea how to use it and google is no help
01:26:50  maybe i should read the docs or something
01:27:10  ps what i am trying to do is figure out the UID of the owner of a TCP connection
01:27:37  i have no idea what that is
01:28:06  define that
01:28:14  tcp_diag or wizmode
01:28:25  er
01:28:28  s/wizmode/user mode/
01:28:37  by which i mean
01:28:38  userspace
01:28:59  netstat -p will give you PIDs
01:29:25  right i guess that works
01:29:27  i am trying to do it programmatically
01:29:30  maybe i will look at netstat's source
01:29:44  or lsof
01:29:49  they are probably terrifying though
01:29:58  probably
01:29:58  sometimes when i want to see how a program does its magic, i use strace
01:30:06  i hear something about tcp_diag using netlink sockets
01:30:08  which uhhhhhh
01:30:10  strace++ kmc++
01:30:11  buhhhhh
01:30:11  i don't know how to use netlink sockets
01:30:14  run away
01:30:18  i barely even know what netlink sockets are!
01:30:20  i don't wantto know
01:30:27  a trainwreck
01:30:28  s/wantto/want to/
01:30:29  is what
01:31:05  strace: greater program or greatest program
01:31:25  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  oh i forgot "every device file" and "every ioctl on every device file"
01:32:32  they couldn't even be like "here's a UNIX socket with the kernel on the other end"
01:32:38  kmc: okay well this sounds like a distinct regression from /proc/net/tcp, yes
01:32:42  it has to be a new socket type which behaves mostly like UNIX sockets
01:32:44  «Netlink was designed for and is used to transfer miscellaneous networking information between the Linux kernel space and user space processes.»
01:32:45  but not quite
01:32:54  Miscellaneous networking information.

01:47:21  kmc: so tell me about using netlink
01:50:11  hmm, I reckon that in messages that are clearly mostly out of the ASCII range
01:50:23  debuggers should escape every character, rather than just unprintable characters
01:50:32  because it almost certainly isn't ASCII, and consistent presentation is useful
01:51:15  I like the approach of "display as a string if it contains no unprintable characters, as a list of numbers otherwise
01:51:39  well if you have a long run of printable characters
01:51:41  you want to display as text
01:51:46  in case it's binary data with embedded text
01:52:31  make it an option
01:53:39  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  there's enough information for the computer to work it out automatically in this case
01:54:05  so I shouldn't have to tell it what to do
01:54:34  next you're going to tell me you're working on boehm GC
01:55:11  no, I'm not, is there something wrong with it that I'd need to fix?
01:55:41  no :P
01:55:52  just the "it looks like a duck, so it's a duck" argument is similar
01:56:20  I don't get it

02:27:06  okay seriously
02:27:08  how do you use netlink
02:27:14  i guess i want NETLINK_TCPDIAG
02:27:19  i wonder if there's any docs
02:28:16  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/shemminger/iproute2.git;a=blob;f=misc/ss.c;h=a0ab2e97cb8aea3f684d07b38df1cdc278c57bbe;hb=HEAD time to read this mess
02:28:52  oh jesus
02:30:00  ais523: hi
02:31:02  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  kmc: but does it solve my problem
02:32:08  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
02:36:43  good answer
02:42:21  IMO kmc should write this code for me
02:44:26  as your attorney i advise you to take a hit of some 20x salvia
02:44:40  perhaps it will fix your netlink sockets
02:45:02  ok
02:45:11  i hear salvia is awful though
02:45:30  I hear people react very differently to it
02:45:37  I tried sucking on the leaves for a bit and it was disgusting
02:45:41  it's pretty terrifying
02:45:41  and I had to spit them out
02:45:48  n.b. you should not heed my legal advice
02:45:53  i am not a real attorney
02:46:03  gasp
02:46:10  even though i do use latin abbreviations like "n.b."
02:46:32  you should spell them all out
02:46:36  nota bene!
02:47:05  sounds good
02:47:15  kmc: none of your advice so far has been legal though
02:47:18  kmc: Did you know the Hebrew letters for "P. S." are N B?
02:47:19  drugs are illegal!
02:47:36  As in נ"ב
02:47:42  shachaf: that sounds confusing. They should've designed hebrew better
02:47:48  actually is salvia still legal
02:47:58  yes, last I looked
02:48:06  I'm pretty sure sage is legal.
02:48:08  I bought a tube of it in boston a couple of years ago
02:48:17  shachaf: there are many varieties of salvia *
02:48:22  :P
02:48:32  Yes.
02:48:45  As long as any of them are legal, you can say that salvia is legal.
02:49:36  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  i should grow some herbs
02:49:59  best way to have fresh herbs
02:50:08  Why would you smoke drugs?
02:50:09  smoke some parsley
02:50:10  oh and the oyster mushrooms may not be doomed after all
02:50:13  Smoking is disgusting.

03:00:07  okay
03:00:10  so tcpdiag is itself deprecated

03:00:33   let's rewrite everything again because it's shit
03:00:40  SURPRISE IT'S STILL SHIT
03:00:40  you sure you don't want to try smoking?
03:01:03  kmc: the only thing that isn't shit is @
03:01:31  because @ is the fixed point of the "let's rewrite everything again because it's shit" operator
03:01:40  the... greatest fixed point
03:02:08  Greatest in what ordering?
03:02:14  the greatest ordering
03:02:43  Can't argue with that.

04:04:58  elliott: Do you feel like fixing a bug in lens?
04:05:03  I bet you do.
04:05:54  what is the bug
04:06:25  https://github.com/ekmett/lens/issues/80
04:07:01  [19:42] shachaf will look into it later.
04:07:06  This is me looking into it.
04:07:34  it could use Bazaar
04:07:35  do that
04:07:58  Why don't you do it?
04:08:53  i don't have commit rights
04:09:07  I'll commit it for you!
04:09:12  Fine, I'll do it.
04:09:20  I don't quite like the holesOf solution.
04:11:22  I forget how sizeof works.
04:11:24  When does it require sizeof?
04:11:25  er.
04:11:27  When does it require parens?
04:11:31  Is "sizeof value" OK?
04:11:38  C?
04:11:42  Or does it need to be "sizeof(value)"? And is that actually "sizeof (value)"?
04:11:44  Yes, C.
04:11:49  It's "sizeof value"
04:11:55  sizeof isn't a function or function-alike.
04:12:02  ISTR you need parens sometimes.
04:12:07  Yes, for types.
04:12:14  You can think of it as the sizeof the cast, I guess.
04:12:17  "sizeof (int)"
04:12:21  Or something, I don't know.
04:12:33  Anyway values don't need parentheses.
04:13:53  C syntax is pretty wacky
04:14:05  there isn't that much of it, but there are some strange bits
04:14:16  "declaration follows use" is just dumb
04:15:55  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  Like, can't padding mess that up?
04:16:09  Or does Linux guarantee it's OK?
04:16:26  elliott: what are you doing !!
04:17:49  hey this lens library has some pretty nice documentation
04:18:06  elliott: if you want to be sure, use __attribute__((packed))
04:18:26  yeah that
04:18:59  almost certainly not needed, but if nothing else, it documents that you have made this assumption
04:19:01  Can the TOGA computer be implemented using a 74163 IC?
04:20:18  kmc: it could be needed if the struct starts with a 64-bit integer
04:20:28  er, maybe not
04:20:40  only because nlmsghdr happens to be aligned though
04:20:44  i'm just suspecting that nlmsghdr... yeah
04:20:55  for more or less these reasons
04:21:00  actually, I guess nlmsghdr itself would be declared packed in that case
04:21:09  well, it wouldn't make a difference
04:21:16 * comex shuts up
04:22:22  suspecting that its size is a multiple of the largest alignment gcc will force on struct fields
04:22:25  but not sure
04:22:30  anyway yeah use 'packed'
04:24:39  Oh, are you reading the lens documentation?
04:24:49  yes
04:24:51  on github
04:25:08  People say it needs a lot more documentation.
04:25:23  oh
04:25:41  One day I'll know all the lens operators.
04:25:41  well it has more than "here are the functions and their extremely polymorphic types"
04:26:08  Most places it has "here are the functions and five different specializations of their extremely polymorphic types"
04:26:20  Also it uses doctest!
04:26:20   elliott: if you want to be sure, use __attribute__((packed))
04:26:22  comex: that's so unportable :(
04:26:25  I thought that was a Python-only thing.
04:26:28  there's doctest for haskell now?
04:26:29  cool
04:26:44  elliott: eh, it works on GCC and every compiler that imitates GCC
04:26:48  comex: I guess the struct is guaranteed to work iff nlmsghdr works though
04:26:53  So those example are actual tests.
04:26:58  which is all the compilers you might use on Linux really
04:27:02  so I suppose I will skip doing the whole copying-memory nonsense to do it "properly"
04:27:55  elliott: pragma pack is more portable, i believe, in case you somehow need to compile it with MSVC
04:28:03  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.)
04:29:17  comex: MSVC for linux

06:13:16  It is time to take out the trash, and we need to stop supporting pay basis distros such as communist Redhat. They are charging us for the stuff thats spose to be free.
06:13:59  We need only juche distros.
06:14:52  shachaf: please tell me you are not serious
06:15:36  I'm completely serious, coppro
06:15:51  I know that most of you would rather run Windows than Redhat. This is my opinion again, but personally Redhat runs like crap even on newer systems. Stock package management and static binaries may save time, but in the long run they lower your peak perormance and also make the system unstable, and as useless as a used condom. Even recompiling the kernel on Redhat causes problmes. Their modern init scripts interfere with some newer kernel ...
06:15:57  ... operations. It takes as much time to get Redhat working right as Gentoo.
06:16:05  oh
06:16:06  now it makes sense
06:16:10  is this funroll-loops
06:16:50  yes
06:16:56  goddamn freeloading redhat, always taking our stuff and never giving back

07:07:30  I've always been curious about Erlang's approach to things, but the syntax does bother me, although I think the final straw was when the online book I was reading said that hot-swapping was a thing to try to avoid and is difficult
07:07:48  well, that was enlightening.

07:42:11  Isn't Erlang supposed to use immutable stuff?
07:43:11  Sgeo: you are confusing values with variable
07:43:14  *variables
07:43:19  Erlang does not have mutable variables
07:43:27  "Keep in mind that records (as any other data structure) in Elixir are immutable. "

09:09:16  elliott, in Brogue, is it possible to give allies instructions?
09:10:17  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  (but they find such a square without your assistance anyway, it just lets you pick which one sometimes)

09:11:44  here is the tip
09:11:46  throw darts at them until they die
09:11:51  chasing them is pointless
09:12:00  What if they steal your darts
09:12:05  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  if monkeys steal my darts what i do is i quit and start again
09:12:17  life's too short

09:13:06  plain ones
09:13:07  And pit ones
09:13:09  the normal kind you can just pop and then walk out of the cloud and rest until it goes away
09:13:14  And any other ones I haven't seen
09:13:17  other kinds you want to use darts
09:13:35  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

09:14:37  me neither :'(
09:14:43  who can i give this fun project to !
09:14:47  Sgeo
09:14:56  Sgeo: want a fun project
09:15:42   no comment
09:15:48  
09:16:07  elliott, can you give me a hint about pink jellies
09:16:35  What project, and why do I have a feeling it will be lens related?
09:16:45  Sgeo: the project is:
09:16:47  fix lens
09:17:00  Actually there are two projects.
09:17:03  One is to fix bug #80
09:17:11  https://github.com/ekmett/lens/issues/80
09:17:28  shachaf, I would but I'm fixing semigroupoids
09:17:36  atriq: What is there to fix?
09:17:38  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, can you give me a hint about pink jellies
09:17:47  atriq: the easiest way is: get to a door
09:17:48  stand in the door
09:17:55  "semigroupoids: the simplest thing in the world?"
09:17:59  shachaf, Documentation for Data.Functor.Extend
09:18:01  hit the jelly until it spawns behind you, then kill that spawn and continue hitting the original one
09:18:07  atriq: you can do it without a corner like this but it's really the easiest
09:18:17  since jellies can spawn in three spaces (to the sides of the corner)
09:18:21  but they can't hit you diagonally around a corner
09:18:22  so you're safe from them
09:18:29  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  atriq: basically though just fight them not in the open
09:19:01  That is a good tip
09:19:20  atriq: more tip: if you light them on fire and then they split their splits will be on fire too
09:19:32  i have a goblin conjurer tip too if you haven't figured those out yet!!
09:19:35  i'm full of brogue tips
09:19:44  atriq: more tip: if you discord them and split their splits will be discorded and kill each other
09:19:56  Ooh
09:20:01  elliott, hit me
09:20:02  the most common thing: finding discord while you have jelly problems
09:20:10  acidic jelly
09:20:25  elliott: is this the tip where you back up into a cirroidor so it summons stuff behind itself thus trapping itself
09:20:27  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  atriq: and press z (to skip turns) until it summons
09:20:39  then some of the blades will go in front of it
09:20:41  and some will go behind it
09:20:43  so you can kill the one in front of it
09:20:48  Ooh cool
09:20:49  and it won't be able to run because it'll have its blades behidn it
09:20:50  *behind
09:20:51  so you can kill it
09:21:02  i take that as a "yes"
09:21:04  monqy: no it's an entirely different tip
09:22:12  can i have a tip
09:22:27  like "shut up if you know what's good for you"
09:22:55  Happiness is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.
09:24:35  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  monqy: have you noticed fewer runic stuff than before in 1.7 btw
09:25:57  i have
09:26:05  It's Never Too Late For Good Things To Happen!
09:26:16  uhh i only played 1.7 ....twice?

09:27:52  maybe i will!!!
09:30:33  I thought Death was like http://www.vamp.org/Gothic/Images/images/death2.gif
09:31:21  Jafet: Do you suppose Death could be a boat?
09:32:07  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  Rosencrantz: I've frequently not been on boats.
09:32:13  Guildenstern: No, no... what you've been is not on boats.
09:33:43  Rosencrantz: Did you ever think of yourself as actually dead, lying in a box with a lid on it?
09:33:46  Guildenstern: No.
09:33:48  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  ... 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  ... 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!"
09:34:05  [long pause]
09:34:08  Guildenstern: I think I'm going to kill you.
09:34:10  elliott: "is that what you feel like sometimes"
09:34:14  Listen to yourself more often
09:34:35  Your way of doing what other people do their way is what makes you special.
09:35:11  Whose way?
09:35:45  You are contemplating some action which will bring credit upon you

10:30:19  i dont know quas naart or warrigal so i dont get 97.  the best part of 467 is imagining the context. it's addressed to sgeo. what could have happened there
10:30:20  atriq: You can just have a bookcase full of e-book readers.
10:30:27  Perfect
10:31:20  monqy: the "97 story" is quas naart was travelling somewhere but it was technically geographically closer to warrigal (you actually do know warrigal) so he didn't say bye when he left on irc
10:31:24  it's not the best quote
10:32:17  `delquote 97
10:32:21  ​*poof* * Warrigal refuses to say goodbye to Quas NaArt, as he is coming closer, not going farther.

18:25:45  You could use FurryScript for some of these functions too.
18:26:10  maybe the bullet bills are actually the head and the world is a turing machine
18:26:22   Assuming 32-bit, that's a byte ← I think the whole point is that it adapts for bitwidth
18:27:08   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  (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  oh that sucks
18:27:49  so you can't see the failure in strace
18:28:22  in that situation i might resort to putting a breakpoint on every glibc syscall wrapper (assuming those are being used)
18:30:08  ais523: Do you know how to implement Checkout with hardware description language?
18:32:08  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  zzo38: there's this one that does character sheet with a little bit of fluff: http://chaoticshiny.com/full4e.php
18:33:50  I use 3.5E
18:33:51  but what i want is a complete personality specification
18:34:04  a similar one for 3.5 exists
18:34:08  I don't know all of personality specification either, but you can try something.
18:34:42  i would want something that works for any edition, because it's...hmmm
18:34:43   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  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  I don't know a lot about personality description, sorry.
18:36:42  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.
18:37:01  i want only goblins :P
18:37:09  Well, you could have that too, then.
18:37:10  a constraint system i'd like to see it
18:37:24  "more loyal" or "more paranoid" or "more greedy"
18:37:40  and then it tells how they react to certain thins
18:37:45  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  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  (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  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  is there a fully specified document for furryscript
18:40:50  quintopia: Only the document on Esolang wiki, and the source codes.
18:41:06  If you have specific questions though, and I find that something is missing in the document, we can add it.

18:49:16  So if you know better about personality specification then you could try.
18:49:58  zzo38: I really don't have time to be writing extensive hardware programs nowadays

19:02:07  is there a linux binary?
19:02:52  Of what? Astrolog? I believe so; if not, the source can be compiled into Linux. (If you mean FurryScript, you only need PHP)

19:10:12  How is a running Erlang system, with processes that store state and receive messages asking them to mutate, different from a typical OO system with amutable objects?
19:10:23  *mutable objects
19:10:44  quintopia: Well, does it work? Have you tried that? Have you tried FurryScript too? Have you tried anything else?
19:10:50  iirc the earliest conceptions of OOP were based heavily on message passing
19:11:35  no
19:13:20  i blame C++ for moving away from that
19:13:44  smalltalk was, I think the things before it weren't so much
19:14:19  in C++ and Java and such, you have have public data fields, which aren't like message passing
19:14:26  but if you avoid those (with good reason) then it is still pretty similar

22:37:34 -!- boily has quit (Quit: Poulet!).
22:42:23  i wonder how to take an arbitrary discrete probability distribution and come up with a dice expression for it
22:45:55  http://phpjs.org/ just what i always wanted
22:46:15  if you can do that with solomonoff's that would be a hell of a thing
22:47:17  huh, php has bc in it.  why?
22:47:53  why not
22:48:12  right.  I supose that explains that "get gz header and strip html out of it" function too.
22:50:16  PHP has a lot of things in it
22:50:45  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  What example of some probability distribution do you mean?
22:51:08  about probability distributions, there was an interesting discussion in #haskell-blah the other day about coin flips and huffman trees
22:52:25  but I dunno how that relates to dice expressions since I don't know what those are
22:53:00  Something like 4d6 if you want four six-sided dice added together.
22:54:25  I suspect dice might be like arithmetic/range coding
22:57:27  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  I think the point was to get specific probability distributions .. and huffman goes nicely with coin flips because it's binary
23:00:16  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  olsner: Do you mean you want to toss a coin to generate the data and then uncompress it by Huffman?
23:03:36  (but huffman only works for probabilities that are all multiples of 2^-n)
23:04:02  nah, it's not that I *want* to, just that you can
23:04:33  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  yes, I think that gives you something similar to range encoding
23:05:27  If you allow it to be unlimited, you could use coin toss for 2/3 probability.
23:05:43  One way to do this is the way the DIGGER card works in Pokemon card.
23:06:20  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.

23:10:42  oh, *you* start tossing? then that makes sense
23:11:19  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  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  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.

08:27:52  Halonen maybe not so.
08:29:42  I thought Halonen was seen as more of a supervillain.
08:29:46  Maybe that's just in Estonia.
08:30:21  Possibly so; I don't think there are any terribly high emotions regarding her in Finland.

08:31:03  I'm a bit miffed that they no longer give candy or something after medical exams; I think they used to do that when one was younger. Five tubes of blood, and nothing to show for it. Well, except the blood, of course.
08:31:28  Blood is pretty similar to candy.
08:33:00  Also it's my standad breakfalunch time, but I have to wait here for that one quick-check sample results. (The cafeterias open at 10:30am, and there's no queues; at 11am it's all full already.)

08:47:39  yes, a sandwich
08:49:29  Is .m Objective-C?
09:07:25  It's objc, but also MATLAB.
09:08:58  olsner: I think the sample tubes has less volume than what they take when donating, which might explain the lack of rewards.

18:26:56  we already have the results because the Prophet Nate Silver has spoken
18:27:15  sweet!
18:27:18  the result is that 90.9% of Obama and 9.1% of Romney will jointly become president
18:27:36  obama with romney hair, most likely
18:27:36  that sounds more entertaining than an obama presidency tbh
18:27:37  will they combine names like Goku and Vegeta?

20:56:36  so, has Obama been reelected yet?
20:57:11  the wiki is not up to date with the url spelling shenanigans though, so the link only works from `welcome
20:57:48  olsner: yes, I thought it was, which was why I expected `Welcome to work too
20:58:17  well, the message has to match the case of the command, so it becomes a wee bit tricky
20:58:46  I'm thinking the 128 case variants should be symlinks to a single welcomation script.
20:59:34  fizzie: yeah, but then you have to grovel argv[0], and that's just crufty
20:59:55  it might be less work than filling in the remaining 4 case variants manually
21:00:20  There are already 124 of them done, then? 
21:00:31  News to me.
21:00:32  approximately
21:00:53  There's that WELCOME though.
21:01:26  gah, wide characters.  I /still/ haven't taught quIRC about those
21:01:38  right, so it should take the command text and figure out a similar mapping for all alphabetic characters
21:01:59  (I mean, obviously it knows about UTF-8, but I'm talking about the ones that take two columns of terminal)
21:03:08  "w31c0m3" is missing too.

21:44:47  "You want close? We've got close!"
21:44:48  if only we had some more scientific means to figure out their relative popularity
21:44:54  these are all actual cnn.com headlines atm
21:47:59  hey kmc who's winning
21:53:52  hmm
21:54:32  a brainfuck-derivative where +-.,[] are identical to brainfuck but > and < mean "move the pointer by n cells, where n is the value of the current cell"
21:54:39  would that be turing-complete?
21:54:55  my guess is 'yes'
21:55:15  my guess is "oh come on you just made that so it's a bitch to prove tc"
21:55:23  doesn't sound that hard
21:56:36  well problem is you can't really move to another given cell without destroying the information in the present cell
21:57:00  you can if you account for the value of the current cell adequately
21:57:14  which is finicky and annoying
21:57:35  besides, you'd at least need the values in cells to be unbounded
21:57:45  wait, never mind
21:58:10  ok, assuming the values are bounded - maybe even single bits
21:59:43  you can do that, and you can also interleave the "real" tape with cells you just use for jumping
21:59:49  though... you have to get to those cells somehow

22:10:41  ais523, did a tracepath from Sweden.... For some reason it goes through japan, then ends up bouncing at the end indeed
22:10:43  ais523: Funnily (perhaps unsurprisingly) the back-path is straight, as illustrated by tracepath at http://sprunge.us/bdPI
22:10:56  context is that I'm trying and failing to remote in to servers there so I can do my job
22:10:59  fizzie, backpath from where?

22:15:15  Vorpal: tracepath, as mentioned; it reports those "asymm N" for the number of backhops.
22:15:32  oh trace*path*
22:15:47  so how is the asymm value decoded?
22:16:59  Directly the length of the route back, I believe; contrasting the hop-number at start of the line.

02:03:53  I like the UK's solution with tobacco
02:04:16  which was to make it illegal to smoke in many public places, or to advertise its sale, but legal to sell it and to smoke it privately
02:04:51  i'm not sure i want another set of people complaining about how they have to go outside to smoke
02:05:27  it's increasingly illegal to smoke in public places in the US
02:07:07  Phantom_Hoover: well the obvious answer is to stop smoking, then
02:07:10  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MToRvo5RExg helpful documentary material for those unfamiliar with the topic
02:07:14  kmc: is it illegal to advertise cigarettes?
02:07:34  ais523, also now they have those screens in front of cigarette stands
02:09:25  so you can't even SEE a packet of cigarettes unless you ask the shopkeeper
02:09:27  no
02:10:11  There's restrictions on cigarette advertising here, but it is still *legal*.
02:10:42  IIRC
02:10:49 -!- SgeoN1 has joined.
02:11:18  Yeah, it's profoundly limited in how it can be done.
02:11:32  “audio advertisements are not permitted to contain any music or sound effects, while video advertisements are limited to static black text on a white background. Any audio soundtrack accompanying a video advertisement is limited to words only, with no music or sound effects.”
02:13:00  That sounds pretty amazing, are there any examples on youtube?

02:20:10  Pennsylvania Obama
02:20:36  as expected
02:21:24  Radio claiming it was a swing state 
02:21:29  none of the 'actual' swing states have been called yet
02:21:35  shrug
02:21:58  538 gave Obama 98.6% in PA
02:22:08  Romney made some desparate last-minute ad buys which I guess makes it a swing state
02:22:18  but media also has incentive to make things seem close when they aren't
02:22:34  hence ignoring that 20 polls together have a smaller margin of error than each poll individually
02:26:37  Im stuck on my phone, what does WNYCs map look like, im under the impression that it's fancier than others.

02:34:32  yes, and it was called for obama just now
02:34:37  it's one of NYT's 9 swing states
02:34:59  FL OH WI NH IA CO NV VA NC
02:35:04  from memory :)
02:35:05  2/9 for Obama.
02:35:16  which two?
02:35:26  Cool, thanks.
02:35:44  intrade is now in sync with silver
02:35:50  Erm, oops
02:36:04  really
02:36:04  anyone doing the healthcare hedge?
02:36:15  you can make 10x your money to pay for healthcare if romney wins
02:36:18  :P
02:36:20  Healthcare hedge? 
02:36:41  http://www.intrade.com/v4/markets/contract/?contractId=743474
02:36:43  just being silly, really
02:36:58  haha
02:37:01  but if you don't want romney to win, maybe betting money on it will sweeten things a bit
02:37:02  My gf is, I think, mistakrn about the effectss of the healthcare law.
02:37:16  what does she think?
02:38:06  That if she's in college past 26, and her plan would have kept her insured, 26 is now the limitation due to the law and she'd need a new plan.
02:40:29  what *is* this healthcare law anyway
02:40:48  does it just, like, force you to buy insurance?
02:42:24  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act
02:43:03  it has a bunch of provisions
02:43:37  'PPACA requires insurance companies to cover all applicants and offer the same rates regardless of pre-existing conditions or gender.'
02:43:54  'Dependents (children) will be permitted to remain on their parents' insurance plan until their 26th birthday'
02:44:31  also your insurer has to give you a rebate if they spend more than 20% of your premium on administrative costs
02:44:44  Which i think she interpreted as "forbidden to remain after 26th birthday"
02:45:42  Romney needs to win most of the swing states to win overall, IIRC
02:45:54  Oh right, wisconsin and new hampshire
02:46:01  and needs to win Florida in particular, because it's worth the most
02:47:55  if he loses FL he can win by winning literally all of the others
02:47:56  that is the only way
02:48:13  but some media have already called WI for Obama
02:48:20  and/or NH
02:48:31  http://elections.nytimes.com/2012/results/president/scenarios
02:49:43  I personally don't think Romney will win without Florida, at least
02:49:59  and FL is mindbogglingly close atm
02:50:02  even if obama wins florida, it'll suck
02:50:07  cause it'll be ridiculously close
02:50:14  wait why is florida so important
02:50:17  GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD, you're talking about the election here, too.
02:50:19  Phantom_Hoover: it's worth 29
02:50:21  I CAN'T ESCAPE.
02:50:29  oh ok
02:50:31  29 sounds big
02:50:35  Phantom_Hoover: If Obama wins Florida, he wins.
02:50:45  not strictly true
02:50:47  the value of a state in determining a president is a linear function of the population
02:50:53  like, it's some fraction of the population, plus a constant
02:50:57  that's not linear
02:50:57  kmc: Romney would have to win literally every other swing state.
02:50:59  with some rounding applied, too
02:51:03  And some have already been called for Obama.
02:51:03  kmc: well, affine
02:51:20  it's not proportional, at least
02:51:41  WI and NH have already been called for Obama by some media... if he gets OH too then Romney cannot win
02:51:46  and he's well ahead in OH count so far
02:51:56  except... they can still tie under that scenario
02:51:58  yeah, OH for Obama seems likely
02:52:13  kmc: the BBC asked a bunch of their journalists for predictions
02:52:15  one of them predicted a tie
02:52:23  What if what was considered a safe Obama state toes Romney
02:52:27  Goes
02:52:33  and a tie gives Romney/Biden, right?
02:52:45  it is thought
02:52:46  SgeoN1: Depends on the state. If California went Romney, Romney would win. But that's nutty.
02:52:51  BBC just called NH for Obama
02:52:51  ais523: Likely.
02:53:05  you can get 20x on romney now
02:53:09  "what happens" is "an unprecedented constitutional clusterfuck"
02:53:14  ais523: The Republican house would choose the president, and the Democratic senate would choose the vice, so yeah, Romney/Biden.
02:53:29  the secret to this whole government thing is, everyone is making up the rules as they go
02:53:46  Gregor: well republican house and democratic senate isn't /guaranteed/ yet, but it seems very likely
02:53:47  i don't think the outcome of this completely unprecdented vote in the Congress is pre-ordained
02:53:47  Kmc, you should play nomic
02:53:59  kmc: yeah, we have unprecedented constitutional clusterfucks for fun
02:54:05  ais523: Right, yeah, but since that's the only reason for Romney/Biden... :)
02:54:16  if there were an EV tie with a clear PV margin for one candidate, some people might vote against party in the interests of Democracy (ha ha ha ha ha)
02:54:32  or there might be, like, riots in the street
02:54:34  who the fuck knows
02:54:45  kmc: I've been wondering about the chance of electoral vote against party
02:54:47  americans are mostly too lazy to riot though
02:54:49  kmc: Nice theory.
02:54:57  yes that's true, some electors could also change their votes
02:55:01  I think that both D and R have easily enough control over their electors, though
02:55:07  depending on the state they're from, they might face criminal penalties
02:55:17  like, if you're D or R, you're going to pick your most diehard fans ever as the electors
02:55:25  but would you be willing to go to jail to singlehandedly decide the presidential election?
02:55:50  kmc: some people would, but I doubt they'd go to jail to singlehandedly decide it in favour of their political opponents
02:56:45  political allegiences can shift quickly...
02:56:53  the Republican Party is barely holding together as is
02:57:06  the extremists are running the moderates out of town and have doomed the party
02:57:16  kmc: Nice theory.
02:57:18  i could totally see a spite vote by a moderate republican elector
02:57:28  i mean this is in the realm of extremely unlikely hypotheticals
02:58:22  the BBC thinks that the parties have moved further apart than before, particularly in the House of Representatives
02:58:32  as in, they're predicting it will have fewer moderates than it used to
02:58:45  although, US "moderate" = rest of the world "mindboggingly extreme right wing"
02:59:01  yep
02:59:55  my theory is that the Republican Party will evaporate over the next decade, due to inability to get anyone other than angry old white men to vote for them
03:00:12  US "bleeding heart liberal" = rest of the world "right-leaning moderate", no?
03:00:21  then maybe the Dems can have a legitimate challenge to the left
03:00:22  kmc: Seems like it.
03:00:28  pikhq: i think that's a bit of an overstatement
03:00:37  Eh, probably.
03:00:39  what's the electoral pull of the BNP?
03:00:45  the most left-leaning members of congress would still be solidly on the left side of the European spectrum
03:00:53  I have a friend who i think i would describe as religious fundamentalist. She's not an old man.
03:01:04  SgeoN1: She's a notable minority.
03:01:07  plus there's that whole nastiness in hungary.  eugh.
03:01:10  in european terms we have a center-right party and an extreme right party.  but some members of the former are pretty left-leaning
03:01:35  is pikhq claiming that all religious fundamentalists are old men or something
03:01:37  Bike: yeah there are extreme right anti-immigrant etc. parties all over europe :/
03:01:46  Phantom_Hoover: Nah, just that most of them are.
03:01:50  but I mean, how much support do they have?
03:02:12  I keep hearing about them, but I don't know if they're just on par with the Prohibition Party or what
03:02:19  kmc, it's at that point that it breaks down though.
03:02:33  pikhq: for the US versus rest of the world theory: David Cameron brought in a "big society" thing in the UK where neighbourhoods were encouraged to solve their own problems on a local level
03:02:40  this was considered a particularly right-wing policy
03:02:57  ... *Right* wing?
03:03:04  some American on the news used a very similar policy as an example of what they liked about the left wing in the US
03:03:05  pikhq: yeah
03:03:17  FSVO right-wing
03:03:18  Yeah, that's really a solid Dem thing.
03:03:32  it was right-wing policy being dressed up as left-wing, basically
03:03:39  that's an example of the gulf between the US and UK in terms of political position, really
03:04:16  The last election had a pretty surreal element of all the parties pretending to be the real leftists
03:04:18  also yay the democrat i voted for for senate has won :)
03:04:50  Phantom_Hoover: yeah, although it's worth noting that the parties are back where they're meant to be
03:05:01  I'm pretty sure Labour was to the right of the Conservatives during the Blair years
03:05:08  but the Conservatives are definitely the rightmost at the moment
03:05:45  I wonder what romney's up to
03:06:33  he was campaigning earlier, but surely he's stopped by now
03:06:44  eventually we'll reach the point where people campaign the day after the election
03:06:46  but it hasn't happened yet
03:07:04  "victory" party in Boston
03:07:16  ais523: well they already send out fliers telling people to vote the day after the election
03:07:30  something to the effect of "due to a recent law, all black people now vote on wednesday"
03:07:33  common tactic
03:07:55  are you fucking serious
03:08:18  yep
03:08:28  Isnt thst an old urban legend?

03:23:37  kmc: there's at least one confirmed case this year where Republicans admitted putting the wrong election date on robocalls
03:23:40  they said it was a mistake
03:24:56  Todd Akin was defeated
03:24:58  Missouri voters had a way of shutting him down :)
03:25:26  He pissed a bunch of people off there.
03:25:44  what did he do
03:26:02  Legitimate rape.
03:26:21  He said that women who are actually raped don't get pregnat.
03:26:24  Pregnant
03:26:36  "First of all, from what I understand from doctors, [pregnancy from rape is] really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."
03:26:50  it turns out that old white men are not actually experts on women's bodies!
03:26:55  except for Ron Paul of course
03:27:08  it's a worrying statement because I can believe that there are people who could believe that
03:27:16  yes a lot of people believe it
03:27:27  it may have even been the majority view in the 1800s
03:27:30  kmc, well unless they're gynaecologists
03:27:34  that is where the republican party is on women's issues
03:27:48  Phantom_Hoover: that's why I said "except for Ron Paul"

03:29:06  it deals with the entire female reproductive system
03:30:29  Phantom_Hoover: Ron Paul was actually a gynecologist before he was a politician.

03:32:54  how does that interact with it still being schedule I federally, exactly
03:33:13  http://brainwrap.com/various/gop_rape_advisory_megachart.gif
03:33:17  Bike: poorly
03:33:45  it will hinge on whether Obama (or Romney, lol) directs the federales to lay off or not
03:34:14  so far they have been hassling medical mj sellers in CA etc a little bit, but not enough to shut down the program
03:34:27  remains to be seen how they will deal with explicitly recreational use
03:36:44  is the federal government allowed to enforce drug laws?
03:36:53  I guess they could just decide to put a really really large federal tax on drugs
03:37:03  sufficiently high that nobody could pay it
03:37:38  ais523: didn't you hear, growing pot in your own backyard and smoking it yourself in your own house is interstate commerce
03:37:42  seriously
03:37:51  ais523: They can enforce it directly, *but* it would be insanely hard and politically unviable to do so.
03:37:56  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzales_v._Raich
03:38:02  They would literally have to send in the FBI at great expense
03:38:12  And it'd make the states rights people go *nuts*.
03:38:14  there is actually non-drug precedent for this... local price controls on crops during the Great Depression or something
03:38:15  kmc: that makes no sense
03:38:19  pikhq: FBI or DEA
03:38:23  that being interstate commerce, that is
03:38:34  they can also do things like, withold federal assistance money from the states that legalize mj
03:38:39  ais523: "interstate commerce" is now the root password to the Constitution.
03:38:39  ais523: yep it is,
03:38:45  it was a bit of a surprise when the supreme court ruled that obama's healthcare changes weren't interstate commerce
03:38:53  but they also ruled that they were legal as a federal tax
03:38:54  no i thought they ruled it's a legal tax
03:38:55  right
03:38:59  yes
03:39:15  the funny thing is, lots of journalists saw the "not interstate commerce" bit and announced the verdict wrongly
03:39:26  to be fair, I'm not sure we need or want federalism anymore... but I wish we could switch over sanely rather than inventing these ridiculous loopholes
03:39:33  the people who read the whole decision were a bit slower
03:39:49  i think federalism went out the window when the federal government had to spend about 100 years repeatedly forcing the south to stop treating black people as farm equipment
03:40:33  Yeah, that's when we killed it.
03:40:36  "they came for the slaveowners, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a slaveowner"?
03:40:39  likewise, i think abortion should be legal but i think the SCOTUS argument in Roe v. Wade is pretty ridiculous as law goes
03:40:58  we should just get a non-braindead government and pass a law saying abortion is legal and the states can suck it
03:41:08  but, that's not how it works.
03:41:36  SCOTUS is kinda hacking the everloving crap out of the US legal system.

03:42:46  c.c

03:53:06  in NV you can vote "None"

03:54:20  it sends a stronger message

03:54:49  i don't know if it has any other effect
03:55:29  maybe if "None" gets a plurality of the vote then Nevada's electoral votes abstain ;P

04:25:22  was Obama getting Ohio unexpected?
04:25:26  PV does matter for meta-game reasons, yes
04:25:34  ais523: no, he was the favorite on 538 etc.
04:25:51  538 put the odds he wins OH about the same as the odds he wins the election (~ 90%)

04:28:25  you amurricans and your ridiculous election system

05:27:45  Maybe Romney's just being a dick to Obama
05:28:34  Even *Fox News* is calling it for Obama.
05:29:20  I think I like Shepard Smith now
05:32:23  at this point Obama wins without FL, OH, *or* VA
05:32:34  they are just icing on a nate silver shaped cake
05:34:08  At this point it's fair to say Nate Silver is a victor.
05:37:07  I wish it was more of a PV landslide
05:37:09  this time around there were a few other people running quantitavite models
05:37:49  i think at this point, election-running and political advertising are such a precise science that we won't get huge landslides
05:38:06  both parties can find and appeal to the median voter with pinpoint accuracy
05:39:46  Until such time that someone goes crazy and shits on a baby.
05:40:22  but they could capture that elusive baby-shitter demographic
05:40:37  we may get some landslides as the Republican Party implodes over the next decade
05:40:48  or some interesting 3-way races
05:41:04  GOP extremist vs Democrat vs semi-credible progressive challenger
05:41:38  "Mr. Obama’s coalition included support from blacks, Hispanics, women, those under 30, those in unions, gay men and lesbians and Jews."
05:41:47  i.e. everyone other than angry old white men
05:42:09  I'd feel better about Obama's victory if he wins the PV
05:43:12  shrug
05:43:30  a split outcome might be good in the long run, as far as bipartisan support for electoral college reform
05:43:52  overturn citizens goddamn united, first
05:44:31  i have mixed feelings about citizens united
05:44:40  maybe they should wait until i am not drunk
05:45:27  also, better prepare your flags
05:45:49  airing a documentary against an incumbent politician is unquestionably the kind of thing the first amendment should protect
05:45:53  money is needed to be heard on the airwaves
05:45:57  it's not about "money is speech"
05:46:06  it's about "restricting money restricts speech"
05:46:07  it looks like you might need a nother star

05:47:22  Yup
05:47:30  so after trump threw his tantrum about the electoral college, it looks like obama will win that too, by a small margin
05:48:31  the popular vote you mean?
05:48:40  PR's thing is nonbinding though i think
05:48:44  I mean yeah
05:48:46  so it will be years of gridlock before anything happens
05:49:15  kmc: It seems reasonably definitive, though
05:49:34  a majority voted in favour of the relationship and statehood is overwhelmingly preferred as the new system
05:49:53  The major issue that was preventing it in the past was Puerto Rico didn't want statehood.

07:24:08  I know that.
07:25:12  When I was a kid, I wanted some information on time-zone stuff. There was a website that had the information I was looking for.
07:25:29  However, it was part of a GLBT website/group, so I refused to look at it.
07:25:54  Eventually got the information I was looking for ... when I clicked another sort of link to that same page such that I didn't realize what site I went on.

07:42:38  I can't help but wonder if my supporting marijuana legalization now, as opposed to sooner (in which I officially considered myself on the fence, I think), is because of an authotarian streak I think I have
07:42:53  http://twitter.com/republicantears
07:43:04  It's (somewhat) legal in one of the states now, therefore it's ok for me to support it.
07:43:16  I tend to feel uneasy breaking rules.
07:46:39  I'm still not clear on how that works.  Is it like, I'll walk by a marijuana store, and then they spot some ATF agents and run for it?

15:56:35  this guy was mayor of denver when they legalized pot on a city basis
15:56:49  and he opposed it, but presumably got a chance to see that it didn't cause the earth to swallow up the city of denver
15:58:03  also happened last night: the first openly gay person elected to the Senate
15:59:02  yeah :)
16:04:21  so what does it actually mean for it to be legal in CO if it's federally illegal
16:04:58  It's a superposition then, right? 
16:05:24  It collapses to legal or illegal when a police officer observes you. I think.
16:05:36  They covered something like this on the quantum physics courses, but I didn't pay too much attention.
16:08:21  elliott: it means that city and state police won't hassle you over it
16:08:38  kmc: but it's still illegal?
16:08:41  in theory if you're smokin' weed in your house, the federal DEA could still break down your door
16:08:48  but this is pretty unlikely
16:08:54  more likely they would go after distributors
16:09:03  as has sporadically happend with medical marijuana in CA etc
16:09:22  remember, federal law also doesn't recognize state medical marijuana programs, but those have existed for a while
16:09:44  in practice it will depend a lot on how Obama et al set federal law enforcement priorities
16:09:55  if he was a strict prohibitionist he could make life hard for CO -- withhold federal law enforcement assistance money, etc.
16:10:06  but my read is that he will try to ignore it as much as possible
16:10:40  It'd probably be politically difficult for him to be strict prohibitionist on this.
16:10:57  well the tide is certainly shifting on this issue
16:11:18  not one but two states legalized it yesterday, and more approved medical mj
16:11:40  so any president with a sense of the path of history (i.e.: not george w bush) would think twice before standing in front of this issue
16:11:59  Legalize gay weed and medical marriage now.

19:41:47  I was excluding names
19:42:02  "Make"'s a common abbreviation, at least
19:42:16  But yeah, toti as well
19:44:45  does viikonpaivat mean fig language?

19:45:59  Deewiant, got a mail from the person who took over rcfunge98 recently (on an email that I'm phasing out and not currently checking very often)
19:46:13  talking about an idea for a new fingerprint
19:46:18  not sure if you got that too?
19:46:33  Nope
19:47:04  oh well I did answer what I could and directed her to you (on IRC) as an additional resource
19:47:28  The idea was a fingerprint to handle the issue of zero length command line arguments. 
19:47:48  it looks mostly okay, but not super-interesting.
19:48:07  (so eh, like a lot of rcfunge that wasn't time travel related)
19:48:16  Deewiant: okay, how about ketolamasuti
19:48:58  nooodl_: meadow-depression brush, maybe.
19:49:24  In the economic sense of depression.
19:49:46  you guys have a word for "meadow-depression brush"?
19:49:47  woah everyone here is finnish
19:50:00  nooodl_, I'm Swedish, so no
19:50:10  Vorpal: English has a phrase, we have a word. Sometimes it's like that.
19:50:12  Vorpal: agglutinative languages have words for *everything*!
19:50:27  Vorpal: It was just "meadow", "economic depression" and "brush" concatenated.
19:50:30  ah
19:50:34  nooga: and hundreds of thousands of words for snow
19:50:41  But it's a viable compound word, for some values of viable.
19:50:45  err, nooodl_
19:51:07  I'm thinking we should add the missing words so that we can have a complete graph for that weekday-abbreviation thing; it should be something any language could be proud of.

19:51:39  fizzie, hm you can still manage that in Swedish: ängsdepresionspensel?
19:52:04  also I'm not sure about the number of s in that
19:52:07  looks off
19:52:15  yeah
19:52:25  ängsdepressionspensel
19:52:33  that is the correct spelling
19:52:36  hm. so "latolatolatolatolamasumasuma" is valid finnish?
19:52:39  that is brush as in paintbrush though
19:52:43  (for some value of "valid")
19:52:59  ängsdepresionsborste for another meaning of brush
19:53:13  Anything is valid for some value of "valid"; for example, for the meaning "invalid".
19:53:54  I don't think such repetition really has a meaning in Finnish.
19:54:06  At least generally speaking.
19:54:21  (hey, i guess you could pull this off in dutch too but it sounds forced. "madedepressiepenseel")
19:54:23  I mean, I guess "latolato" could be some kind of a barn for containing barns.
19:54:41  And "latolatolato" then a barn for containing barns containing barns.
19:54:44  nooodl_, it sounds forced in Swedish too
19:54:51  And so on.
19:55:06  mostly because it makes no sense
19:55:18  "barn barn barn thing thing thing thing" - the best, most useful word
19:58:10  And "Xsuma", being "a gridlock of X's" (vaguely speaking) you could I suppose also extend so that "Xsumasuma" would be a gridlock of gridlocks of X's. (Disclaimer: gridlock is probably not the best translation here, but maybe the point is clear.)
19:58:47  now all that's left is the "lama" part
19:58:56  That's the economic depression.
19:59:02  Like, "lamasuma" could be a series of economic depressions that just don't seem to clear out, very reasonably.
19:59:13  how lame
19:59:16  ooh neat
19:59:30  fizzie, like right now then?
20:00:00  "gridlock of gridlocks of depressions of barns of barns of barns of barns". should be in finnish dictionaries
20:00:02  fizzie: It could also be a llama who is quite good at sums.
20:00:06  You know, a llama summer.
20:00:39  Are you talking about finnish again?
20:00:53  yep

20:11:01  Vorpal: a while ago I wanted something like that so I built a tag-based system for xmms, but then I finnished it
20:11:12  Vorpal: Organize them based on the first n hex digits of the SHA-3 hash of the file, where n is suitably chosen to get reasonably directory sizes.
20:11:13  olsner, and?
20:11:40  oh wait
20:11:45  that was a pun in the spelling
20:11:47  nooodl_: It could be an invalid word, though; it's having vowel harmony problems, for one thing; that could work in a compound, but the rest of it looks really more like suffixes.
20:12:02  olsner, what actually happened, when you "finnished" it
20:12:13  Vorpal: also, iirc xmms doesn't exist anymore
20:12:40  olsner, also I need this on my android phone
20:13:21  I need something better than trying to scroll through a few hundred composers, performers, artists and so on. Or a few hundred album names for that
20:13:24  for that matter*
20:15:29  http://j.mp/VTxQlv
20:16:17  ion, fancy, what does it mean
20:16:25 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined.
20:16:31  "kansa" is "people, folk"; "kansasi" is very valid as "your people"; then it gets more difficult. "kansasitys" (from which "kansasitykseeni" would be a valid derivation) doesn't seem to be meaning anything, and the 'y' conflicts with the 'a's. But I'm not ruling out a creative interpretation could still be found, it's just not looking so good. (Still, "tykseenilläsittävän" doesn't seem to ...
20:16:37  ... parse either; otherwise it could've been a compound of "your people" and that.)
20:16:49  vorpal: The Finnish words that can be formed by combining two weekday abbreviations. :-P
20:17:17  That looks like circo's output.
20:17:34  hmm, you could use that graph to make a weekday rock/paper/scissor/thursday/friday/saturday/sunday game
20:17:50  it might be terribly uneven though
20:17:59  olsner: Nothing beats Friday. :p
20:18:16  is that pe?
20:18:20  Except Friday itself, I guess, but I don't know how that works.
20:18:21  Yes.
20:18:27  (Short for "perjantai".)
20:18:37  maybe if both say pe you throw again
20:18:46  again/up
20:18:55  pepe = puke?
20:18:59  So a game is about both saying "pe" until one of the players gives up? 
20:19:05  Pepe is a name.
20:19:12  ion, haha
20:19:21  I suppose that's why the line is dashed? 
20:19:30  yeah
20:20:04  if pe is unbeatable that makes the game pretty boring
20:22:11  There are Finnish people (somewhere between 74-77) with the first name Tito, but maybe that's too loan-namey to count.
20:26:22  Is there some kind of "each Wikipedia thing must have an illustrative picture" rule going on? I don't see what else can explain putting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Finnish_vowel_harmony.jpg next to the "Finnish" section on the Vowel harmony article.
20:27:12  H U O M !
20:27:33  I mean, okay, the sentence contains a reasonable example, but is there some reason it needs a picture of a dirty sign in a bus window? 
20:27:53  http://codepad.org/hpZ0TcxQ woah this is kind of "lato"-heavy
20:27:59  fizzie: they need to show people the true horrors of finland
20:28:03  That sign has at least one grammatical error.
20:28:06  Especially of a sign in which someone has left spaces before the !s; that thing has annoyed me incredibly much every time I've seen the sign.
20:28:34  fizzie: again, the true horrors of finland
20:29:31  I wonder what a pram is and how I can make sure its secure placement
20:29:43  olsner: 1. baby buggy, baby carriage, carriage, perambulator, pram, stroller, go-cart, pushchair, pusher -- (a small vehicle with four wheels in which a baby or child is pushed around)
20:30:16  And there are hooks you can use, plus many of them have some brakes in the wheels I believe. Or you could just keep one hand on it.
20:31:42  olsner: (By hooks I mean the black things in http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6uU3PeO0i5I/TFv2wHSBS8I/AAAAAAAAAEk/9T5qW1S8ycQ/s1600/23072010014.jpg that are hanging from the horizontal bar; though personally I don't think I've ever seen anyone use those, except the babies tend to keep whacking them against the wall/other hooks/anything, producing a most irritating noise.)
20:31:51    Especially of a sign in which someone has left spaces before the !s; that thing has annoyed me incredibly much every time I've seen the sign. <-- so what does the sign mean?
20:32:03  Vorpal: There's an English translation in the description there.
20:32:06  ah
20:32:09  I assume that's where olsner got the pram from.
20:32:28  Oh, it doesn't translate the small print.
20:32:39  fizzie, so what does the small print translate to
20:32:40  but the text in the picture was not on a bus?
20:33:03  olsner, uh? it looks like the sign is inside the bus?
20:33:18  Vorpal: the description of the image had a translation btw
20:33:26  olsner, not complete it appears
20:33:29 -!- impomatic has quit (Quit: http://programminggames.org).
20:33:43  Vorpal: "An example: A car may unexpectedly rush in front of the bus. In that case, _in order to avoid a collision_, it is necessary to brake suddenly."
20:33:59  oh, it looked like a billboard by a road, but I guess the picture was taken through the bus window?
20:34:42  I think they added that to stop people from complaining so loudly when the bus sometimes does in fact make sudden changes of velocity.
20:35:13  they should just add thicker armor to the buses so they don't have to stop
20:35:57  The sign also looks kinda badly kerned. (E.g. the gap between Ä and V in "YLLÄTTÄVISSÄ".)
20:41:19  A while ago I did my small part to annoy folks-with-children living in this building; they'd been keeping their PRAM at the bottom of the staircase, so I left an anonymous note quoting the law forbidding that, plus the fire department's statistics on how fast smoke from a burning PRAM fills a four-floor stairway (less than two minutes), how large fraction of deaths in fires are due to smoke ...
20:41:25  ... poisoning (two thirds) and how many such left-in-the-stairway PRAMS are vandalistically set aflame every year (about ten in the metropolitan area).
20:41:29  Haven't seen the PRAM since.
20:41:58  In retrospect, they may have misinterpreted the subtext as "this guy's going to set our PRAM on fire" as opposed to "oh, we have a friendly and safety-conscious neighbour".
20:42:34  It got results, and made things more difficult for other people, so I suppose it's a win-win in any case.
20:43:15  (I should've printed out http://www.pelastustoimi.fi/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/sppl07-0.jpg on the note too.)
20:44:33  what is a PRAM and why must it be capitalized
20:44:49  kmc: 1. baby buggy, baby carriage, carriage, perambulator, pram, stroller, go-cart, pushchair, pusher -- (a small vehicle with four wheels in which a baby or child is pushed around)
20:44:56  (I keep saying that thing.)
20:45:07  Possibly it doesn't need to be capitalized.
20:45:25  to what degree were your statistics completely made up
20:45:49  fizzie: you should have zapped their PRAM
20:45:54  They came from the fire department's website. It doesn't cite sources.
20:46:33  you should've just moved it to the garbage room, since it was in the stairway it must be garbage
20:46:33  elliott++
20:46:45  But the first one, about the time taken for smoke to fill the stairway, they claim to be based on their own experiments.
20:46:48  random note: SwiftKey is an awesome keyboard for a touch screen, almost as fast as typing on a real PC keyboard.
20:46:53  (I don't know if they count that in the last statistic.)

20:49:38  so the fire department recognizes prams left in stairways as a particular problem?

20:51:19  In as much as they have a particular page about it, yes.
20:51:23  huh
20:51:41  I suspect it's just that they're the thing most commonly left in stairways, and they burn quite well.
20:54:44  Disclaimer: I've been using "fire department" as a convenient shorthand, but strictly speaking the website that has the page is the "Rescue services in Finland" info-portal of the Department for Rescue Services of the Ministry of the Interior; while the organization that actually ran the smoke experiments was the Helsinki City Rescue Department.

00:28:47  hey no you started this
00:28:49  you finish it
00:36:09  well, things are going pretty well here
00:37:18  I've got a driving license, and I just tonight shared a beer with a friend with whom things have been... rather cold... for the past several months
00:39:36  so it's a pretty good week overall
00:41:25  the only downside is my back aches a lot since sunday
00:43:10  I'm in the middle of a first-aid course that lasts over three week-ends and we started the stretcher / carrying / whatever you call that / thing where you carry a victim, sunday
00:44:14  and half-way through it I realized the way I stood was not as perfect as I believed and well my back is doing a very good job at reminding me of that

01:34:27  coppro: can you please explain what's wrong with stargate at the end of season 8?
01:34:43  the two time-travel episodes didn't make any sense to me
01:34:57  it's like nothing happened at all
01:35:17  and the first episode of season 9 is ridiculous
01:35:20  Arc_Koen, at that point, the plot of the first 8 seasons is finished, because the series was expected to be cancelled.
01:35:33  So, completely new plot.
01:35:36  ok
01:35:50  Arc_Koen: It's not wrong
01:35:52  so they decided to end the plot three episodes before the end of the season?
01:36:12  Arc_Koen: So at the end of nearly every season, they thought SG-1 would be cancelled
01:36:23  I think seasons 1, 9, and maybe 5 are exceptions
01:36:33  In 7, the renewal didn't come until very very late
01:36:39  so Lost City was written to be the series finale
01:36:45  elliott: my athena username isn't kmc
01:36:47  it's taken or some shit
01:36:55  i don't really like 'kmc' either
01:36:55  Season 8 was kind of mopping up and grasping at any unresolved plotlines
01:37:03  i try to go by 'keegan' but i'm usually not able to
01:37:06  coppro: they're trapped in a room with the ceiling moving down and the riddle they have to solve is to order a sequence of 9 symbols which happen to be 9 digits mirrored
01:37:29  kmc > keegan imo
01:37:31  By Season 9, they decided they needed to do a reboot, hence the episode you're watching
01:37:31  how is that not wrong
01:37:33  it is short
01:38:03  The plot of seasons 9 and 10 is generally agreed to be not as good as the plot that was built up over the first 7
01:39:00  also, they start the whole thing as "daniel jackson, teal'c, carter are no longer part of the team"... but the opening sequence lists them as the main characters
01:39:21  which is a stupid way of spoiling things, in my opinion
01:39:38  hwh
01:39:40  *heh
01:40:06  also, in seasons 9 & 10, landry < hammond and mitchell <<<<< o'neill
01:40:19  yeah
01:40:32  I do like the kind of "silent humour" carried away in the episode, though
01:41:01  I mean, most humorous series seem to feel the need to "oeverexplain" every joke
01:41:13 -!- madbr has joined.
01:41:32  they don't do that in stargate (at least most of the time) and mitchell did respect that
01:41:34  how fast at sorting are 8bit and 16bit processors?
01:41:51  but yeah I miss hammond a lot
01:42:05  and season 8 really felt like it was the end
01:42:30  "we're missing a fourth team member... uh, let's stall things for one season before getting a new character"
01:42:44  haha
01:44:13  are you people discussing stargate AGAIN
01:44:25  yes
01:44:37  btw, you mentioned I should watch atlantis at the same time as season 9,
01:44:40  Built by ancients so long ago
01:44:46  Arc_Koen, wrong season.
01:45:02  if you can do fast sorts you can do a graphic architecture that's really simple but can do tons of moving sprites etc
01:45:04  wrong season?
01:45:05  Well, I guess it overlaps, but not "starting at season 9"
01:45:15  yeah
01:45:23  well, if you have any more precise advises they are very welcome
01:45:31  Arc_Koen: The first three seasons of Atlantis and the last three episodes of Atlantis overlap
01:45:36  I think the SG-1/SGA overlap starts at the beginning of season 8? I'm not sure
01:45:54  coppro, uh... last three episodes of Atlantis? Wat?
01:45:58  err
01:46:00  Last three seasons of SG-1?
01:46:01  *last three seasons of SG-1
01:46:05  ok
01:46:13  For instance, the last epsiode of Season 8 where they want to get a ZPM makes much more sense if you watch Atlantis
01:46:22  maybe not "much"
01:46:25  but certainly more sense
01:46:36  so I would recommend watching them concurrently, even to alternate episodes
01:46:38  I should rewatch SG-1 and SGA with that overlap
01:46:42  well, I was assuming they'd need to find atlantis before the SGA would make sense
01:46:45  I finished SG-1 before watching SGA
01:46:51  Arc_Koen: They find it in the premiere for Atlantis
01:47:18  sooo you're saying at the beginning of season 9 they have already found it?
01:47:24  yes
01:47:25  they failed to mention that
01:47:26  for an entire season
01:47:36  no it was definitely a relevant plot point in Mobius
01:47:47  I thought they only had the arctantica outpost
01:47:54  I'm pretty sure at beginning of some season Daniel wants to go to Atlantis, and treats it as a regular but lengthy trip
01:48:05  antarctica 
01:48:29  oh, yes he did mention having to get aboard the daedalus
01:48:37  though never said where it was heading
01:48:47  or rather, not at a time where I was listening
01:48:58  There's an SG-1 episode late in Season 9 that takes place a fair bit on Atlantis
01:49:14  in fact it took me a certain time to make the connection with the "new ship" they had described previously
01:49:53  so, I should watch the first season of SGA before I continue with season 9?
01:49:58  I would recommend it
01:50:00  ok

06:36:27  "It is to be the 51st state"  uh, that's a bit of an overstatement
06:36:38  puerto rico has passed a non-binding referendum saying that they would like to be a state
06:36:46  now it is up to the federal government to do something about that, or not
06:41:14  kmc: More like, it's up to the Puerto Rican government to put together a formal application
06:41:20  and to Congress to debate endlessly about taxes
06:42:13  i guess it would be too much to expect reddit to have a non-sensationalistic approach to a political story
06:48:37 -!- Frooxius has joined.
06:59:52  It does *kinda* make sense though: Puerto Rico's unwillingness in the past has been the primary barrier to their statehood.
07:00:35  is that just because the other barriers haven't been tested yet, thuogh?

07:20:59 * Sgeo isn't entirely sure where Puerto Rico is
07:21:14  As far as geography is concerned, I'm a stereotypical American.
07:21:23  google maps is your guide
07:21:46  it is east of cuba, haiti, and dominican republic
07:21:53  Was going to check Wikipedia but Google Maps is good too
07:22:42  Hmm. Reminds me more of Alaska than Hawaii, since there are other intervening countries between the US mainland and it.
07:23:10  gotta be careful of the threat of invasion from haiti.
07:27:05  If Puerto Rico wanted independence instead, would that be possible?
07:27:36  Technically.
07:27:40  My understanding is if they go state, they can't go back. I think there was some war about it
07:27:51  it's not like territories haven't become independent before.
07:27:58  That war was a clusterfuck.
07:28:07  Sgeo: They can't go back without permission
07:28:25  Ah
07:28:39  If a state really wanted to secede and it wasn't over something stupid, they could try to rustle support for an amendment to allow secession
07:28:55  (they could try that if it was over something stupid too; it would just be less likely to work)
07:29:22  In principle a bunch of states could boot one out.
07:29:23  "Once you go tentacle, you stay in the pentacle", like they say.
07:29:36  We could just decide to make a new amendment: "Texas is not a state."
07:29:45  And approve it via convention.
07:29:45  yes, Phillipines used to be a US territory
07:30:28  ...I almost mentally mixed up the Phillipines and Paraguay
07:30:44  good for you
07:31:03  of course, the philippines had previously had a few wars about becoming independent, which I don't think is true of puerto rico
07:31:56  pikhq_: true
07:32:42  Heck, in theory the entire US could be disbanded that way.
07:32:52  Without Congress even being involved.
07:36:36  amend the constitution to remove every word
07:36:56  and replace it with a picture of a duck
07:37:24  would the laws passed by Congress continue to have force even if the constitution were nullified?
07:37:50  i guess there is no framework for answering that question
07:37:57  except Common Law™
07:38:06  kmc: Only in DC.
07:38:07  :)
07:38:17  Congress is the government of DC.
07:39:07  Well, if we assume that laws must get their authority from the Constitution, where does the Constitution get its authority from? IIRC, the Constitution wasn't validly transitioned to under the Articles of Confederation
07:39:21  Sgeo: Consent of the governed.
07:40:49  and the Articles of Confederation were never approved by the King!
07:41:38  but yeah, blah blah consent of the governed blah handwave common law social contract mumble mumble we used our guns to shoot the other guys you didn't like and now we say what goes
07:41:56  Yup.
07:42:32  it's funny how similar organized crime and government are
07:43:15  i mean, i'm a liberal, i like taxation and government services, but I still agree with the libertarian premise that at a basic level, taxation is theft
07:43:20  i would say that it's the lesser of two evils
07:43:24  Hmm, wondering how to make a nomic that does that sort of thing, that the rules can be ignored if there's a war or people ... vaguely agree
07:43:30  people suck and deserve to have some of their stuff stolen from time to time for the greater good
07:45:03  kmc: So, in short, you're a utilitarian who is honest about what is actually going on. :)

17:21:35  oh you mean like not in the upstream distro?
17:21:37  oh
17:21:45  so not that meaning of rogue
17:21:51  well, yes that meaning of rogue
17:21:51  read the changelog!
17:22:03  apparently it was just moved from the AUR into the official repositories
17:22:04  what a letdown
17:22:07  heh
17:22:15  elliott, you use arch still?
17:22:42  yes
17:22:55  elliott, since I basically switched away from arch you might be interested in picking up maintainership of c-intercal and tup-git on AUR
17:23:29  I disowned those packages, I don't see myself using arch again any time soon
17:23:35  elliott, your existence is driving me insane
17:23:42  Vorpal: why did you switch away from arch anyway
17:23:53  I see someone vaguely my age I don't recognize and think "That might be elliott"
17:23:55  "Who knows"
17:24:13  atriq: you probably want to be looking for someone who looks younger than you
17:24:21  Okay
17:26:27  elliott, I no longer have the time to spend on maintaining it. Sure it isn't as bad as Gentoo, but compared to Debian it is still a lot of work. So I went for Debian
17:26:34  (Debian testing)
17:26:48  clear solution is linux from scratch
17:26:51  hah
17:27:10  one thing I do miss is PKGBUILD though, they are a hell of a lot simpler to figure out than debian's package building system.
17:27:13  i actually find arch fairly low-maintanence personally... the only time i had to spend more effort than -Syu recently was the systemd switch
17:27:19  yes dpkg is sort of a mess
17:27:21  elliott, also at the time I switched we *still* didn't have -dbg packages on arch
17:27:30  have they fixed that yet?
17:27:56  there are no separate debug packages
17:28:00  maybe they turned debugging on in the real packages idk
17:28:18  Also multilib. On arch that was a joke
17:28:34  i've had no problems with arch's multilib repo
17:28:54  it's complete enough for DF at least (in fact DF itself is in the multilib repo)
17:29:17 -!- FreeFull has joined.
17:29:39  elliott, sure but try to compile anything non-trivial with -m32
17:30:11  what is the problem? I have gcc-multilib installed and plenty of lib32-* packages
17:30:48  Maybe they improved that in the last few months then
17:30:52  elliott: There will always will be something with a -m32 missing or something that will try to use 64-bit stuff anyway
17:31:18  FreeFull: that sounds like a multilib problem in general
17:31:22  iirc I had problems finding a 32-bit unixodbc package the last time or something like that
17:31:23  rather than anything to do with arch
17:31:25  Just using gcc built with an x86 32-bit target is easier
17:31:39  do you know the context
17:31:47  anyway i don't like -m32 either but whatever
17:32:30  Debian's multilib transition was really quite messy, especially back when tools like Aptitude couldn't really show architectures; you ended up with a lot of weirdly duplicate-looking packages.
17:32:49  These days at least Aptitude seems to be reasonably good at tagging ":i386" to names.
17:37:08  fizzie: If only they used Kitten's solution.
17:52:10 -!- sirdancealot7 has joined.
17:56:30  elliott, and what is that solution?
17:58:51  Vorpal: have everything in triple-specific roots, i.e. on a 64-bit system your 32-bit stuff would be in /i686-linux-gnu/lib/..., /i686-linux-gnu/bin/..., and it'd compile it with /x86_64-linux-gnu/bin/gcc-i-forget-how-gcc-cross-compilers-are-named-but-this-one-is-for-i686
17:58:58  Vorpal: the twist being you can also install architectures you can't even run
17:59:08  like you could have /armel-linux-gnu/ on an x86-64 system
17:59:29  the double twist is: you could tell the package manager to use qemu-system-armel to run armel-linux-gnu binaries, just like it knows to use linux32 to run i686-linux-gnu binaries
17:59:40  anyway there wouldn't be any specific multilib packages
17:59:43  called lenovo, they say there is no launch date set for the X1 Carbon i7 8GB in the US
17:59:54  you'd just do $ pkg install --arch=i686-linux-gnu libwhatever
18:00:03  and something like dwarffortress would only be available for i686-linux-gnu
18:00:03  this is a lot of trouble to go through for 1MB of cache
18:00:31  but, cache rules everything around me
18:01:38  elliott, hm interesting approach
18:02:19  elliott, how do you deal with stuff doing #!/bin/sh and such? Symlink?
18:04:22  There aren't terribly many multilib-specific packages on Debian; it just installs i386 versions of regular packages. The old horrible "ia32-libs" megapackage is nowadays just a metapackage that depends on ia32-libs-multiarch, which is only available on the i386 arch and so gets installed, and which depends on the libraries that the old ia32-libs used to contain.
18:04:26 -!- ogrom has quit (Quit: Left).
18:04:27  Admittedly the whole thing is still slightly gnarly; but at least you can install almost anything from Debian-i386 without problems. Or so I believe.
18:04:59  cross-architecture chroots work really well actually
18:05:04  schroot can set them up automatically
18:05:06  (Instead of having to file a bug about "there's no ia32 version of libstrumpbyxor, I can't run my favourite software".)
18:05:14  Vorpal: yes, /bin would be a symlink to /x86_64-linux-gnu/bin or such. actually you could have a "customised" /bin where it symlinks individual executables but e.g. if you tell it you want the ARM version of xchat as your /bin/xchat (for some reason??), it'd install a shell script that does "qemu-system-blah /armel-blah-blah/blah/xchat "$@""
18:05:32  Vorpal: or actually you could probably just symlink directly to the armel binary and use the linux kernel's misc executables thing to have it run them with qemu
18:05:36  and it uses binfmt_misc
18:05:36  but you "get the idea"
18:05:47  so that you can run an ARM executable on x86 transparently
18:05:50  pretty sexy
18:05:52  binfmt_misc is *really scary*.
18:05:57  it's the best
18:05:57  right, binfmt_misc is what i meant
18:06:04  fizzie: right, Debian does it righter than most other people
18:06:07  I accidentally ran an ARM executable, and didn't even notice until after.
18:06:19  elliott, right
18:06:20  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-dev-tools qemu-user-static; mk-sbuild --arch=armel precise; sudo schroot -c precise-armel-source
18:06:35  fizzie, "libstrumpbyxor"? hah
18:06:58  libschtroumpf
18:07:33  Vorpal: actually I think the last time I was thinking about Kitten this ended up merging with Nix
18:07:39  in which case you wouldn't need the triple prefixes at all
18:08:48  hah
18:09:38  basically my point is that i686 shouldn't be treated specially for x86-64
18:09:41  elliott, btw I have been thinking about /etc a bit. While tools like etckeeper allows version control of it, there is an issue. It doesn't keep track of the point of diverging.
18:09:45  you can just do it as part of a general "installing other architecture binaries"
18:09:48  which means less automated merging
18:10:03  a three way merge would be perfect for changed config files
18:10:32  elliott, you should support that in Kitten in some way
18:11:19 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
18:11:25  Vorpal: well with nix you never actually change /etc, so maybe i could take advantage of that somehow
18:11:31  i don't think i'll actually be writing kitten any time soon though :P
18:11:35  well okay, that works too
18:11:43  packaging is just way too much work

19:37:07  PhantomJS (headless scriptable webkit browser) does some crazy things with closures
19:38:14  your script runs in its own environment, but you can pass a closure to .evaluate() and it will use globals from the loaded web page instead
19:39:23  Well that's horrifying.
19:39:42  Does it even close?
19:40:07  i think you can use lexical locals, yes
19:40:13  it might even look in your environment first for globals
19:40:24  it's definitely weird, but i'm not sure it's worse than the alternatives
19:40:27  which would be, what, string eval?
19:40:49  in Kernel you can play these tricks of course
19:40:56  because environments are first-class and 'eval' takes an explicit environment
19:47:19  no you can't use lexical locals :/
19:48:16  but you can explicitly pass a dictionary of stuff
19:51:31  hm, new humble bundle out
19:59:10  In Clojure you can fake an eval that takes a concrete lexical environment
19:59:30  And write a macro that obtains the lexical environment where it's expanded

20:55:01  hardly, mirc is great
20:55:04  this script sounds exciting
20:55:11  and awful
20:55:14  oh yes
20:55:16  this is test.mrc
20:55:22  it's where i write random shit that i don't care about
20:55:33  how could you not care about \o/

20:55:50  things that start out simple, y'know?
20:55:56  wow
20:56:01  i,
20:56:04  hehe
20:56:05  ...
20:56:05  is that... a regex?
20:56:10  that looks like    uh
20:56:14  I vaguely recall I had a script in a mIRC.
20:56:15  or some kind of dance?
20:56:19  both!
20:56:25  I also ran Xircon 1.0b4, it had a Tcl script engine.
20:56:26  i just have to figure out why it's failing
20:56:33  the real question is why wouldn't it fail
20:56:35  doesn't it deserve to fail
20:56:36  Then it never got past that beta 4.
20:56:36  maybe you should figure out how it worked
20:56:42  haha
20:56:45  i don't want to
20:56:46  mircscript is like perl, but... someone finish this simile
20:56:48  that's lost secrets
20:57:00  mircscript is unique
20:57:06  i guess it's perl meets the bad parts of javascript maybe. yeah it's unique
20:57:07  but i know it intimately well and the client itself is excellent
20:57:20  of course, now i would rather write in javascript or something
20:57:32  i totally forgot there was a dude with a cane
20:57:33  holy shit
20:58:02  dude. the regex. the REGEX...
20:58:17  oh i've written worse abominations
20:58:22  that one's just escaped all to hell because of the \'s
20:58:39  i can't tell what's going on with the \\m's
20:58:56  me neither
20:58:58  lol
20:59:03  i'm pretty sure it's checking spacing
20:59:06  and that there's two of them
20:59:44  okay, the tilded A followed by a comma
21:00:12  that's erroneous
21:00:14  huh
21:00:17  must have been a bad paste
21:00:38  i wonder what it was supposed to be
21:01:18  sounds like encoding issues
21:01:26  it's invalid utf-8
21:01:29  comma doesn't begin with 10
21:01:39  CP 1252 \o/
21:01:45  this script ran under mirc 6.35
21:01:52  7.0 has more proper unicode support
21:02:01  before, i had to insert the individual ascii characters
21:02:01  :P
21:02:21  the individual octets, you mean
21:02:23  asci iis 7-bit
21:02:29  yeah, fair enough
21:02:49  though, only someone in here would make that distinction i bet haha
21:03:24  Oh, I nitpick every time someone says "high ASCII characters", and I'm not someone in here. Er...
21:03:39  i could nitpick that asci is nothing
21:03:42  and ascii is 7-bit :)
21:03:49  technically it's ASCII not ascii
21:03:50  so there
21:03:54  i wish people would stop being so pedantic about character encodings, if they would just learn to speak english then it's all very easy
21:03:55  haha
21:03:57  oh boy what did i do
21:04:56  That joke is getting a bit clichéd.
21:05:12  :3
21:05:22  regex is actually pretty simple
21:05:35  but i didn't know it as well as i do now then
21:05:43  it is checking spacing
21:05:50  that is, two \m/ \m/ sets can't be next to each other
21:05:51                `\o/´
21:05:51                  |
21:05:51                 /'\
21:05:51               (_| |_)
21:05:53  needs two spaces
21:06:17  then it's the arm variants, head variants, or the (o_º) face variants
21:06:19  Jafet: dont
21:06:22  you mean cliched
21:06:23  which i made require a silly arm thing
21:06:24  oops i pressed enter
21:06:28  ASCII is redundant

21:11:18  nother broken script i assume
21:11:22  i can't rely on anything :(
21:11:27  is there a thing to decode utf-8?
21:11:34  or rather, double-encoded utf-8 haha

21:12:11  \o/
21:12:13  i was going to deconstruct the utf-8 manually
21:12:13  lol
21:12:15  oh no it's still broken
21:12:15  probably; most utf-8-supporting languages have a function for that kind of thing
21:12:25  i meant on a bot
21:12:31  i'll work it out somehow :)
21:12:36  It's c3a0c2b2c2a0c3a2e282acc2bfc3a0c2b2c2b0c3a0c2b3c692 in hex
21:12:40  but apparently my conversion tools are borked
21:12:57  oh you know what

21:13:18  98 108 195 164 114 112 
21:13:26  That gives raw bytes as decimal.

21:14:48  Ah, no zeros missing
21:15:00  > 200 / 8
21:15:01  yeah, utf-8 always has high bit set
21:15:01    25.0
21:15:11  but i got it, it's the reddit face like i said :)
21:15:18  i searched google and found some broken pages that gave me context
21:15:19  haha
21:15:22  =P
21:15:24  UTF-8 doesn't have the high bit set for codepoints less than 128.
21:15:32  PICK A NIT.
21:15:43  i'm going to ignore that as being ignorant of context
21:15:43  ;)
21:16:01  "a" is just as UTF-8 as "ä".
21:16:16  it's fun that there's a place where people can actually talk about utf-8 encodings and stuff
21:16:22  i mean, most people would be like ut-what?
21:16:39  but here not only do people know the details almost as a matter of course, they know them well enough to make pedantic corrections :P
21:16:51  i'm sure there are plenty of places that would berate you for not using utf-ebcdic instead, too
21:16:54  i'll just write a new script
21:16:59  or something
21:17:00  i don't even know
21:17:04  maybe i can get away with a new regex
21:20:14  wtf pcre
21:20:18  did character classes just stop working?
21:21:02  /([\]o[/])/
21:21:03  succeeds
21:21:14  but add anything else in and it fails >:(
21:21:27  durr
21:21:41  i tried removing the escapes to test but i seem to have needed one ;)
21:21:57  i overescaped the rest
21:23:21 * pikhq_ prefers UCS-1 :P
21:23:40  myndzi: sed -e 's/\(.\{8\}\)/\1 /g'
21:23:46  Will split stuff into eights for you
21:23:59  i'm well past that point now :P
21:24:05  =P
21:24:06  i need to find my rng script

21:24:14  yes, i implemented like 8 rngs in mirc :\

21:34:56  mirc's fault i'm sure

21:37:14  impomatic, I've got A Book on C, with annotations by my dad
21:37:26  Any help?
21:37:39  atriq: Do the annotations say "Bogus!" and such things? 
21:37:44  well, they're clearly looking for books on FORTH specifically
21:37:53  atriq: I think I've got that one already...
21:38:19  The annotations have mysteriously disappeared!

21:40:26  not quite
21:40:33 * myndzi takes it to another channel
21:40:47  ah, there's a space at the start of the line
21:40:48  i wonder
21:41:03  i love how it's always, like, version 5 of a programming language before they think to add map and filter
21:41:17  it would be great if people designing new programming languages knew something about existing ones
21:41:39  that sounds hard
21:54:11  oh geez i just typed console.log in mirc script
21:55:11  HAHAHA
21:55:13  guess what it is
21:55:17   i love how it's always, like, version 5 of a programming language before they think to add map and filter <-- for haskell too? ;P
21:55:22  it's utf-8 width compensation
21:55:23  :|
21:55:37  since mirc didn't use true unicode, $len(something) could be 1-4
21:55:41  so i had to manually fix it

22:37:13  clearly they are hoping for some golden showers
22:37:18  fizzie, was... that an Against A Dark Background reference?
22:38:06  Phantom_Hoover: Yes.
22:39:18  Though when I read it, I did wonder if it was a something reference; it does not appear to be so, at least very directly.
22:39:24  I thought nobody else had read Banks' non-Culture novels!
22:39:28  They're the best!
22:40:15  It's one of the "M." ones, still.
22:40:32  Yeah, I mean the non-Culture M. ones
22:40:59  (Did I mention that I got the inspiration for Mt Hoover from that book?)

22:43:29  elliott: That's what SHE said.
22:43:38  it had that awesome biome discontinuity anyway, shut up
22:43:59  Phantom_Hoover: okay the discontinuity was cool
22:44:33  Also I think I did in fact finish The Algebraist.
22:44:42 -!- Sgeo has joined.
22:44:44  The Algebraist was also the best.
22:45:14  Feersum Endjinn would be the best if it wasn't for those goddamn dyslexic chapters.
22:46:03  Yes, I think those might've been the reason I gave it up.
22:47:11  It's not even like you can skip them, they describe some of the coolest parts of the book.
22:54:24  So I got the newest humble bundle, since some of those games would be nice to have on Android. A warning though, Waking Mars does not work on Android if it is not allowed to call home with user metrics (like if it is blocked by a firewall or adblocker software modifying the hosts file). It crashes when it fails to connect.

22:56:49  That was very confusing.
22:56:58  fizzie, yeah kick or mute or something, might be better to kick so he notices what was going on when kicked, rather than getting back in several hours time and having no idea why it is broken
22:57:07  well no point now
22:57:07  myndzi, so still broken?
22:57:08  since it stopped
22:57:13 -!- fizzie has set channel mode: -o fizzie.
22:57:14  if it starts again though
22:57:19  thanks to my genius efforts
22:57:22  I'll hang around.
22:57:29  I wonder what caused that (parens?)
22:57:36  So I got the newest humble bundle, since some of those games would be nice to have on Android. A warning though, Waking Mars does not work on Android if it is not allowed to call home with user metrics (like if it is blocked by a firewall or adblocker software modifying the hosts file). It crashes when it fails to connect.
22:57:43  you beat me to that
22:57:43  looks like i fixed it permanently!!
22:57:46  interesting personal discovery of the day: when people say 'scone' the wrong way my accent involuntarily turns scottish
22:58:15  Vorpal: There's a new Humble Bundle?
22:58:28  shachaf, yeah, android one again
22:58:28  "thx for not telling me"
22:58:37  Phantom_Hoover, sure your parents weren't experimenting with you like in that xkcd strip?
22:59:08  they were exceptionally precise about it if that's the case
22:59:16  well yeah
23:00:05  elliott, anyway I don't believe any bug is fixed permanently unless the code for it has been changed in some way
23:00:11  it could still happen
23:00:35  \o/
23:00:48  elliott, I think myndzi is completely disabled now even
23:00:56  elliott, so that bug fix just broke it another way
23:01:11     \o/
23:01:21  yeah the script died completely
23:02:29 * pikhq_ just came out. Holy *crap* that was scary.
23:02:36  pikhq_, came out?
23:02:44  of the closest? Or outdoors? or what?
23:02:49  closet*
23:02:53  Of the closet(s)
23:03:10  oh okay
23:03:33  concept: rentable closets you can pay to come out of
23:04:05  pikhq_, I don't understand why anyone who is not a sexual partner (or interested in becoming one) with the person in question would even care about the sexual orientation of other humans.
23:04:20  Vorpal: In a sane world, this would be the case.
23:04:35  We do not live in a sane world.
23:04:40  Vorpal, i presume you also don't care about someone's job or name or personal background
23:04:41  i would go one further and say that in a sane world, 'sexual orientation' would not be a concept
23:04:48  and simply refer to them by serial number
23:04:59  kmc: What would be?
23:05:04  We live in a world where empiricism is an unpopular viewpoint.
23:05:16  as opposed to the myriad other factors in attractiveness
23:05:27  Phantom_Hoover, there is a *slight* difference between sexual orientation and name.
23:05:44  kmc: Well, yes...
23:06:14  like if you're more attracted to short people or tall people, then whatever, but if you're more attracted to men or women, this is supposed to be a defining aspect of your identity
23:06:20   pikhq_, I don't understand why anyone who is not a sexual partner (or interested in becoming one) with the person in question would even care about the sexual orientation of other humans.
23:06:31  as someone who is attracted to both short and tall men and women, i don't really get this
23:06:33  this conversation is dumb can we have a different one
23:06:33  in a world where it is implicitly assumed you are heterosexual unless stated otherwise of course it's relevant
23:06:40  Phantom_Hoover, I probably don't care about their job or personal background unless it is somehow relevant to me though.
23:07:01  kmc: Likewise.
23:07:03  except that, if people are persecuting you for who you are attracted to, they will force a label on you, and you can use that label to fight back as well
23:07:09  so it makes sense in that context
23:07:20  this is like the people who say affirmative action is "reverse racism" because in a perfect world there would be no need to even consider such things
23:07:43  what elliott said
23:07:48  Men are attractive. Women are also attractive. Easy.
23:08:07  I think many men don't find men attractive
23:08:14  sometimes i see someone on the street and decide that they're attractive before i decide whether they look like a dude or a lady
23:08:21  (this works better from behind)
23:08:25  Yeah, well, I'm not one of those men.
23:08:40  "< kmc> (this works better from behind)
23:08:45  "that's what she said"
23:08:46 -!- Frooxius has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
23:08:55  Ba-dum
23:11:01  Phantom_Hoover, my point here was that there is no reason why 1) there would be anything special about any sexual orientation that would require coming out of the closest 2) sexual orientation is unimportant to other people unless they are your sexual partners or are interested in such a relationship. It is not a defining characteristic of any person.
23:11:23   except that, if people are persecuting you for who you are attracted to, they will force a label on you, and you can use that label to fight back as well
23:11:29  that is why it's such a big deal
23:11:53  As long as everyone involved are consenting adults why would anyone outside care about it.
23:11:56  yes Vorpal you're ever so forward-thinking now please let the rest of us talk like adults
23:12:18  Vorpal: Yes, in a fairy-tale land that's roughly how it'd work.
23:12:18  dongs
23:12:26  I agree with kmc.
23:12:28  coques
23:12:32  pikhq_, yeah that is not how it works, but that is how it *ought* to work
23:12:39  I second kmc.
23:12:40  dongs
23:12:42  cock au vin
23:12:47  baulle
23:12:50  kmc, and that is an interesting point about fighting back
23:12:51  *baulles
23:12:58  dickachu
23:13:06  pikachin
23:13:18  Vorpal: this is the kind of conversation that might be worth having in 1000 years when gender, prejudices about it, prejudices about sexual orientation, blah blah blah are not deeply ingrained in society
23:13:29  as of now they are so this stuff is relevant
23:13:39  i wonder if elliott thinks my view is as wrong as Vorpal's
23:13:42  they don't seem very different
23:13:56  i think it is worth talking about now, while recognizing that it doesn't match the society we live in
23:14:02  it does rather match the subculture of people i know personally
23:14:40  i think it's worth talking about in a more nuanced way than Vorpal's "OH MY GOD SOCIETY ISN'T PERFECT WHAT IS WITH THAT"
23:14:49  elliott, I guess the issue then is why I do not feel those prejudices. I don't understand racism. I heard it explained with the fear of the unknown and what not, yet I don't see what there is to fear in a different skin colour.
23:14:53  and so on
23:15:26  kmc: maybe you are interpreting what I said differently to how I intended it
23:15:50 -!- carado has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
23:15:54  i'm certainly not saying discussions about this topic in general are a bad thing to have; i just mean that saying "well why does it even have to be a thing" is counterproductive
23:16:27  Vorpal, again, you simply see this entire topic as a vehicle to front your own progressiveness
23:16:40 -!- Sgeo has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
23:16:43  Vorpal: to be frank I find it vastly more likely you do have at least some of those prejudices but they are just ingrained enough that you do not notice them... which is not a statement about you; that applies to everyone on the planet
23:16:54  since a whole lot of everything is ingrained stuff you don't notice
23:17:07  Phantom_Hoover, I'm not sure I'm progressive, I just try to be sensible. I do not understand homophobia, racism and so on. I guess I just do not at all experience the feeling which give rise to these kind of views?
23:17:11  even if you aren't actively racist it is a lot easier to act like racism is no big deal if you have racial privilege
23:17:15  (and hence: this is why sexual orientation being a thing that is actually brought up is important -- because it counteracts this)
23:17:18  elliott, that might be the case
23:17:31  anyway I don't think I actually agree with kmc
23:17:36  er
23:17:37  disagree
23:17:40  anyway I don't think I actually disagree with kmc
23:17:44  let's disagree to agree
23:17:54  not that I think Vorpal is "wrong" per se either
23:18:02  anyway let's talk about something else
23:18:09  #esoteric is meant to be dumb
23:18:10  Nothing here
23:18:20  thank you oonbotti, that was sufficientyl dumb
23:18:23  sufeicjeintly
23:19:55  any sufficiently dumb comment is indistinguishable from idiot
23:20:13  Where'd my +v go anyway.
23:20:15  *idiocy
23:20:22  I should've been given a +v access mode instead of just a one-time +v.
23:20:28  elliott, well, I work daily with people from all over the world (I have colleagues from Canada, Chile and Australia) and have no issues with that. I have friends who are from countries that racism in Sweden has traditionally been targeted at (Bosnia for example).
23:20:52 -!- fungot has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
23:21:40  ok I have to ask
23:21:50  are these Canadians and Australians white
23:21:51  because
23:22:07  Hey guys, have a stupid character set: http://wiki.zbasu.net/idios
23:22:33  «0x20: "escape"; has no defined meaning» nice.
23:22:38  elliott, the Canadian guy is, the Australian one is not, though not a native either. Think he have parents from somewhere in India or something, don't remember the detail.
23:22:39  the chileans wouldn't be
23:23:10  tswett: Why, it can't even represent Japanese!
23:23:22 -!- myndzi has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds).
23:23:23  pikhq_: I thought of putting in katakana just for kicks.
23:23:25  I insist you add the glyphs necessary to represent pikhq romanized Japanese.
23:23:25  Vorpal: anyway I am not accusing you of being a gigantic racist or anything :P
23:23:34  Which glyphs would those be?
23:23:41  but kmc is right -- prejudice is a lot harder to see if it doesn't affect you
23:23:45  elliott, the Chilean guy, I'm not sure, not a native indian but not traditionally white either.
23:23:54  elliott, true
23:24:02 -!- nooodl_ has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
23:24:10  I guess I just grew up learning that these sort of things were non-issues.
23:24:18  in sweden
23:24:22  Which are: à ì ù è ò â î û ê ô ȳ ā ī ū ē ō (more glyphs may be necessary for other Japonic languages, but as far as I know that's what's necessary for any form of Japanese proper)
23:24:33  where there are significant racial tensions
23:24:36  well Sweden is probably better than average at this stuff
23:24:40  but also what Phantom_Hoover said
23:24:55  What are grave accents, circumflexes, and ȳ for?
23:25:12  hepburn romanization, obviously
23:25:12  Phantom_Hoover, hm? There is certainly racism in Sweden. There is a racist party in the parliament even currently. BNP style, but maybe not quite as bad.
23:25:23  Grave is the dakuten, circumflex is the handakuten, the bar is for small glyphs.
23:25:29  have it support lots of languages, but only with outmoded romanization styles
23:25:30  Vorpal, so how could you pretend it's a non-issue?
23:25:35  It very clearly is.
23:25:38  Phantom_Hoover, so I guess you could blame/thank my parents rather than the social climate at large.
23:25:57  Phantom_Hoover, I don't say it isn't an issue. I just said I don't understand *why* it is considered an issue by some.
23:26:06  This is for an *encoding of kana*, not really a good romanization scheme. :)
23:26:13  apparently Sweden has no official ethnicity statistics
23:26:23  So are "ba" and "pa" written as "hà" and "hâ"?
23:26:33  Yes.
23:26:33  pikhq_: only seal script, then
23:26:35  "we're all swedes here"
23:26:41  "swedes living in perfect harmony"
23:26:54  "i bet all you inferior countries wish you could be like your nordic supermen"
23:26:55  wait!
23:26:55  tswett: One other thing: the sokuon (っ) is written '
23:26:57  elliott, how would they collect that info anyway?
23:26:59 -!- myndzi has joined.
23:27:01  i just remembered i hate sweden!
23:27:04  i disabled it to write a better one
23:27:11  Vorpal: well you all get a barcode at birth in sweden right
23:27:11  pikhq_: ah, so I'll have to add ' to the character set, too.
23:27:12  tswett: So, Hepburn "roppyaku" is pikhq "ro'hîȳaku"
23:27:13  huh, i think my server just cut out
23:27:22   "i bet all you inferior countries wish you could be like your nordic supermen" <-- that sounds like it would be racism towards the rest of the world :P
23:27:24  Vorpal, it concerns me that you are unfamiliar with censuses
23:27:40  elliott, we have social security numbers, no bar code though
23:27:44  One also encodes long vowels as you would in kana.
23:27:48  also that's because swedes are too dumb to work out that they're inferior
23:27:52  I'm sure you could encode the SSN as a bar code if you wanted though
23:27:55  So, "Tōkyō" is "Toukiȳou"
23:27:57  Vorpal: are you sure you just haven't found your barcode yet???
23:28:12  And "Ōkii" is "Ookii"
23:28:15  elliott, :P
23:28:22  ... Why'd I capitalize that?
23:28:25  Anywho
23:28:42  Phantom_Hoover, we don't do censuses in Sweden since a great deal of years. We simply trust the registry being kept up to date as people are born and die.
23:28:51  ōkii no "o"
23:28:59  sweden :')
23:29:09  tswett: There are, FWIW, some advantages to this scheme.
23:29:18  you miss out on the experience of censuses with big yelling warnings saying how mandatory they are
23:29:20  "i mean it's not like anyone could get into the country without us knowing"
23:29:21  Phantom_Hoover, so it was in the context of that which my comment should be taken
23:29:25  tswett: "ヴ" cannot be represented in Hepburn, but it's just "ù" in pikhq
23:29:29  Phantom_Hoover, :P
23:29:35  "we're not that dumb!"
23:29:41  Phantom_Hoover: well who would flee to sweden
23:29:44  of all places
23:29:47  just saying
23:29:54  when norway and finland are so close?
23:29:57  and so very not sweden
23:30:05  exactly
23:30:06  Phantom_Hoover, even people who are here illegally have right to get emergency health care and so on btw
23:30:14  Wait, I don't know how to attach "ōkii" to a noun.
23:30:35  I remember there was an occasion where Linus was giving a lecture, and a person from the audience started a long "question"/rant about the mark-of-the-beast microchips that are being implanted into people these days.
23:30:43  It's an -i adjective, so one just does it before the noun.
23:30:52  fizzie, it wasn't stallman by any chance, was it
23:30:53  i.e. "big island" is "ōkii shima"
23:30:57  Phantom_Hoover, speaking of which, US politics make me scratch my head quite often.
23:31:07  sometimes it just appears so backwards
23:31:09  US politics make the US scratch their heads also
23:31:12 * tswett nods.
23:31:15  Though for some reason I want to prefer "ōkina shima"
23:31:17  elliott, well yeah
23:31:38  (that adjective is a weird case in that there's a -na version of it that is mostly interchangeable)
23:31:45  pikhq_: do you know a significant amount of Japanese?
23:31:46  guys can we somehow tie in this discussion with the pikhq_-tswett one
23:31:48  Phantom_Hoover: No; this was in Finland, in Finnish, and the person was female. The video's in YouTube, but, again, Finnish.
23:31:51  so i can stop having to skip every other line
23:31:55  tswett: Rather a lot.
23:31:59  fizzie, stallman's finnish daughter?
23:32:02 * tswett nods.
23:32:03  elliott: japan has race problems, how about that
23:32:10  Bike: perfect. job done.
23:32:17 -!- kallisti has changed nick to KALLISTI.
23:32:18  HELLO
23:32:20  Yeah, Japan actually does have a number of racial problems.
23:32:22  or, the racism inherent in hepburn's romanizing stuffs
23:32:34  or perhaps romanization in general!
23:32:47  Go ask the Ainu how they're doing OH WAIT THEY'RE BASICALLY GONE.
23:33:07  Okay, time to write a line editor in MIPS assembly.
23:33:07  pikhq_, aren't "japanese only" signs fairly common in some places
23:33:21  Phantom_Hoover: Yes.
23:33:34  Phantom_Hoover, btw speaking of census, wouldn't it be rather easy to hide away from that anyway?
23:33:55  Vorpal, but that would be breaking the law!
23:34:02 -!- Sgeo has joined.
23:34:07  Phantom_Hoover, :P
23:34:26  it isn't like people who are in the country illegally aren't breaking the law already
23:34:38  Certain obnoxious white Japanese people (ARUDŌ Debito) have made a big deal of it in Japanese courts...
23:34:43  how often do UK do censuses?
23:35:29  pikhq_, who are "Ainu"?
23:35:37  Vorpal, aboriginal japanese
23:35:41  see, there you go.
23:35:42  ah
23:35:55  what about the other indigenous groups?  are they annihilated yet
23:36:35  what, you mean in general?
23:36:44  in japan
23:36:47  Vorpal: The Ainu are an aboriginal people from northern Japan and very far eastern Russia...
23:36:55  right
23:36:58  or, to go back to the language thing, ryukyuan language suppression?
23:37:06  Vorpal: The Soviets booted them all out to Japan, and then WWII Japan was dicks.
23:37:19  And now there's about 100 Ainu speakers.
23:37:31  oh geez, I didn't think it was that bad :(
23:37:35  ah
23:37:47  Yeah, Ryūkyūan languages got fucked with badly, too. But nowhere near as bad.
23:38:09  hey Bike, i hear you're new
23:38:13  have you done the right of passage
23:38:15   Certain obnoxious white Japanese people (ARUDŌ Debito) have made a big deal of it in Japanese courts... <-- white Japanse people? What are we talking about here exactly?
23:38:24  Vorpal: White person who is a citizen of Japan.
23:38:33  They exist.
23:38:33  Phantom_Hoover: the right of passage is a natural right of all citizens!
23:38:40  pikhq_, like Europeans that moved there?
23:38:42  ok
23:38:48  Vorpal: Basically.
23:38:52  or, what do you mean, like, do I have to write a brainfuck variant
23:38:56  but the condition for citizenship is writing an eodermdrome interpreter
23:38:58  pikhq_, right okay.
23:39:00  shit
23:39:08  making a brainfuck derivative automatically disqualifies you
23:39:12  haha.
23:39:27  Vorpal: white people living in japan can also have children and stuff
23:39:32  or so I hear......................
23:39:43  but I have this great idea, it's like brainfuck plus befunge and intercal!
23:39:57  elliott, well sure. I was wondering if he was referring to yet another group of people that were native to the area and white or something
23:39:57  Bike: amazing, you should put it on the wiki pronto
23:40:02  make sure to make the spec horribly ambiguous
23:40:09  elliott: Japan is jus sanguinis, though.
23:40:17  spec? I think you mean download link
23:40:17  pikhq_, wait, are you implying they're obnoxious for fighting racial prejudice or am i misreading
23:40:26   Certain obnoxious white Japanese people (ARUDŌ Debito) have made a big deal of it in Japanese courts..
23:40:30  pikhq_: right
23:40:46  elliott, so my question obviously was asking if he meant western (and descendants of western) persons or something else.
23:40:49  Phantom_Hoover: No, just that Debito in particular tries to be the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. :)

23:41:14  oh, that reminds me though, the other month a guy I know said that in school he learned that ainu were white
23:41:15  pikhq_, you have just said something that makes roughly no sense
23:41:16  YES
23:41:20  Phantom_Hoover: I barely know anything about it but isn't the anti-foreigner prejudice in Japan not really anti-white racism at all?
23:41:24  more like a generalised xenophobia or whatever
23:41:32  apparently he learned about race from 19th-century quality textbooks, three races and all
23:41:32  this is just the impression I've got though, I don't actually know anything :P
23:41:38  elliott: It's generalized xenophobia.
23:41:44  elliott: White people have it easier, in a way.
23:42:03  eh, we're happy enough to call hatred of muslims racism, i think the term is generalised enough to support that usage
23:42:40  this conversation reminds me of a "wonderful" debate I was in recently with a denizen of IRC
23:42:55  claiming that basically every other language should romanize their alphabets

23:43:17  sometimes it is linked to the awful attitudes towards human rights in certain muslim communities
23:43:23  elliott: yeah the conversation actually came up because I claimed that UTF-8 for URLs would make way more sense
23:43:32  KALLISTI: see IRI
23:44:42  the IDN stuff makes no bloody sense. Until you realise that everything these days is basically built to be backward compatible with imperfect solutions made 30-20 years ago
23:45:05  yes that is how everything has worked forever
23:45:09  indeed
23:45:24  it results in so many problems though
23:46:12  speaking of
23:46:14  i hate unix
23:46:25  just because i run "foo" and it dies cleanly when i hit ^C
23:46:30  oh yeah, it has some good ideas but a LOT of flaws
23:46:31  have you read the handbook
23:46:32  does not mean that killall -INT foo will make it die cleanly
23:46:54  i have a bunch of processes that launch other processes and it works fine when you run it manually, but the cleanup is a disaster otherwise
23:47:01  kmc, which signal does ^C send then? I thought it was INT?
23:47:09  it sends it to the whole process group though
23:47:21  I guess you would have to do that then?
23:47:37  yeah, but setting it up yourself is a pain
23:47:46  true
23:47:54  killall -g ? 
23:47:55  which piece of software is this? So I can avoid it
23:47:55  basically it's easy to say "kill everything running in this terminal" but hard to say "kill everything launched from this exec call"
23:48:03  linux
23:48:13  kmc, I meant which software on linux
23:48:19  some software i wrote
23:48:22  ah
23:48:24  Phantom_Hoover: so, if the state graph is abc and the match subgraph of a command is b, the interpreter could run that command, in which case the one node would be "open"?
23:48:27  but
23:48:28  kmc: you should use @ instead
23:48:31  if you understood the above
23:48:38  you would understand that it is not my fault particularly
23:48:55  Bike, I'll have to check.
23:48:57  kmc, true, I would just use a supervisor process, like systemd or daemontools or such
23:49:13  Vorpal: Doesn't even really solve The Problem.
23:49:13  yeah i'm not asking for advice
23:49:24  since i have not described my problem in detail anyway
23:49:25 -!- Arc_Koen has joined.
23:49:31  i'm just complaining
23:49:36  well my advice is
23:49:37  Bike, you need to know both match and substitution subgraphs to determine if a node is open.
23:49:38  use @
23:49:39  just saying
23:49:48  pikhq_, hm true
23:49:54  Phantom_Hoover: oh, yes, duh.  silly me.
23:50:06  any complaint gets responses of "that's easy, you should just use foo and bar"
23:50:11  Phantom_Hoover: I thought it said that it used the same letter in the state graph and the match subgraph, oops.
23:50:11  which is annoying
23:50:18  but i'm in an annoyed mood generally
23:50:20  what... there is "Angry Birds Star Wars" now?
23:50:22  oh god
23:50:53  Bike, nah, the tricky part is that the state graph is completely unlabelled.
23:50:54  kmc: that's easy, you should just use screen.
23:50:58  There was Angry Birds Space; it sounds a sensible step.
23:51:10  hello guys
23:51:18  So you have to use a general subgraph matcher to work out what can actually be executed.
23:51:22  fizzie, riight....
23:51:30  Vorpal: is this because of disney
23:51:34  going to download it just to see how bad it is...
23:51:42  I'm morbidly curious
23:51:44  Phantom_Hoover: right.  but clearly having a single interpreter step be an np complete problem is what makes it worthwhile
23:51:52  can't be any worse than the usual Angry Birds I guess
23:51:54  wait let me guess
23:51:59  i guess that it is identical to an angry birds game
23:52:03  but looks vaguely star-warsy
23:52:08  "i'm not asking for advice, but thank you for inferring my problem based on the assumption that i am an idiot and then solving it for me"
23:52:09  Vorpal: you do realize if you do that they win their gamble
23:52:23  Bike, actually when i looked this up i discovered that for fixed match subgraphs the algorithm is O(n^2) or something else pleasantly small
23:52:27  kmc: well you are an idiot
23:52:32  kmc: because you are not using @
23:52:34  well ok but
23:52:50  the actual algorithm was paywalled tho--
23:52:50  Arc_Koen, apart from that I do not buy any micro transactions and I have an adblocker

00:00:14  Arc_Koen, at least it appears to be based on the original movies, not the prequels.
00:00:17  you'd basically have to do it "dna style" and have an attached protein that substitutes along a structure, splittting it into two behind it
00:00:44  Vorpal: movies? THEY DID ANGRY BIRD MOVIES??
00:00:47  Arc_Koen, and the music is better than the normal terrible angry birds music. Other than that is basically the same idea.
00:00:49  how excitingly exotic
00:00:52  Arc_Koen, no the star wars ones
00:01:08  Arc_Koen, since it is angry birds star wars
00:01:17  they did angry birds star wars movies????
00:01:27  Arc_Koen, they did angry birds star wars game
00:01:29  let's just say
00:01:30  Arc_Koen: yes
00:01:32  and be done with it
00:01:35 * Arc_Koen dies
00:01:36  Angry Starbird Wars.
00:01:41  Arc_Koen, which is based on star wars 3-6
00:01:46  or 3-5 even
00:01:50  oh hey I just saw an ad for twilight 5 today
00:01:54  really through could a hypothetical angry birds star wars film really be worse than the prequels
00:01:56  so no Jar Jar Binks at least
00:02:00  i'm just sayin'
00:02:06  elliott, hm... that is a close call
00:02:08  Vorpal: Not 4-6? But you said "original".
00:02:12  Vorpal: Jar Jar is in 3-6
00:02:17  fizzie, err I meant 4-6
00:02:19  well in 3 at least

00:02:57  either way it'll be entertaining

00:03:37  fizzie, from what I heard the Lego games are usually actually kind of good
00:03:44  but everytime he speaks I can't seem to manage to understand what he says
00:13:54  i think maybe it is harder to get over someone being annoying in the past than it is to forgive them for doing something specific to hurt you
00:14:05  because annoyance is this basic conditioning thing

01:15:44  they've repeated several times that "the gate on this planet is the only one that can dial to earth"
01:15:56  how the hell do they know that and why the hell would it be true?
01:16:26  I don't know if it's established how they work at out
01:16:39  also, back when there were two active stargates on earth, how come incoming wormholes always hooked to sgc's stargate and never to the russian one?
01:16:42  but at some point it's mentioned that the Atlantis DHD contains a special control crystal to allow it to dial 8 chevrons
01:17:03  Because the Russians were really good at timing connecting and disconnecting the DHD
01:17:09  oh
01:17:22  this is how we fix things on the russian space station
01:17:27  so you can just disconnect the dhd and the gate will no longer work<,
01:17:38  it will still accept wormholes
01:17:50  but when it was disconnected, the SG-1 gate became primary
01:17:57  oh, ok
01:18:01  err
01:18:02  SGC gate
01:18:25  GCC gate
01:18:30  should one watch stargate?
01:18:35  and when it's connected, it becomes primary for offworld russian teams?
01:18:39  it's implied that primary-ness is also determined by the most recent use
01:19:04  or else power supply
01:19:11  since the Antartica gate didn't become primary
01:19:43  also, what about those very very advanced guys on the planet that didn't have a gate?
01:19:58  those who made up the clorel/scar trial
01:20:17  Arc_Koen: Yes. The Russians somehow managed to time their dial-ins so that they wouldn't accidentally get a US team
01:20:24  or go to SGC
01:20:31  The Tollan?
01:20:36  (also klorel & skarra, I believe)
01:20:38  coppro: I just don't understand how they managed not to go to the sgc
01:20:45  yes, the tollan
01:21:16  at some point in the series (probably seaosn 5) they simply stopped mentionning them
01:21:34  Arc_Koen: They timed when they would dial ack
01:21:36  *back
01:21:42  "We will dial back in in 6 hours"
01:21:47  ok
01:21:50  i thought the tollan died at some point
01:22:04  what about the tollan?
01:22:28  but how does the fact that they will dial back in in 6 hours prevent them from going to the sgc gate?
01:23:04  Bike: well I remember during the trial episode, sg1 saved their asses
01:23:11  and then I never heard of them again
01:23:27  i thought they died then though...
01:23:34  except maybe in the "the-NDI-steals-artifacts" episode
01:23:38  well, let me consult the inevitable wiki
01:23:51  NID*
01:23:57  Arc_Koen: The Russians reconnect the DHD 6 hours later
01:24:08  yes, but the sgc gate is connected as well
01:24:18  «Anubis found a way to make his fleet impervious to the Tollan Ion cannons, their only defense, they met their eventual destruction» oh that douche
01:24:21  right but the active DHD causes the Russian gate to take priority
01:24:38  hmmmm I might have missed that episode
01:24:50  it was probably mentioned off-hand somewhere
01:24:56  ahah

06:52:54   I've tested it to work with Firefox and tested it to not work with Internet Explorer. 
06:53:58  kmc: surely the easiest way to check would be to contact someone on the other side of the world over IRC
06:54:03  and ask them if the sun was still visible?
06:54:43  ais523: They might lie more often than that detector.
07:04:15  Suppose you can't find anyone. Possibilities: The Sun exploding killed everyone on that side, some virus that needs its victims to be exposed to daylight ran rampant and killed everyone
07:04:31  Hmm, there would be some survivors of the latter, I'm sure
07:05:16  but would they have phones?  (use your prior distribution of daylight in your answer)
07:07:48  Stupidly obvious answer: look at the moon.
07:09:20  Which also wouldn't be visible, since circumstances conspire to make this as difficult as possible.
07:09:47  That comma was intended to indicate a different scenario
07:09:48  (I remember a short story about sun going nova that involved deducing it from a really bright moon.)
07:10:10  Well, the Bayesian has the correct answer. Bet on the sun still existing.
07:10:23  If it doesn't exist, your money will be null and void soon anyways.
07:11:25  And thus, anyone taking him up on the bet is either giving up money, or convinced the sun exploded and just doesn't care any more.
07:13:36  Sun, pshaw. What's it good for, anyway? Just a cause for annoying glares on screens.
07:13:54  We'll just turn on the lights if it goes out.
07:15:16  Corrected: fizzie has the correct answer.
07:15:35  How much of the sun's energy do we actually need? Enough to grow crops and keep the air and water at a survivable temperature, but surely a lot is wasted?
07:15:58  most of it doesn't hit the earth, for one
07:16:29  mirrors around the sun, get all of that energy to earth
07:17:58  Sgeo: Currently, essentially all of it.
07:18:06  We could use a bit more of it up here, it was below the freezing point of water this morning again.
07:18:52  pikhq_, well, not literally all of it. Solar panels don't cause significant negative effects, do they? Although, if much of the Earth's surface was covered in them, what would happen?
07:18:59  Sgeo: we probably need slightly less than currently hits the Earth
07:19:16  also, conservation of energy: the energy captured by solar panels eventually ends up dissipating as heat anyway
07:19:27  The Earth is fairly small, and the Sun radiates equally in all directions.
07:19:43  ais523: They do increase Earth's albedo, I think.
07:19:53  well it depends on where you install them
07:20:04  Sgeo: also, another way to think of it: imagine that the Earth is mostly covered in grass
07:20:18  ais523: At least I'd sort of assume that solar panels don't reflect very much of (direct) sunlight; it sounds like it'd be slightly counterproductive.
07:20:59  fizzie: hmm
07:21:02  ais523, we use that energy for survival, kind of... well, animals we eat eat grass. What would happen if there was no grass, we killed all the grass and replaced with solar panels?
07:21:05  they do actually reflect quite a lot at the moment
07:21:07  Ecologically, I mean.
07:21:08  because they aren't very efficient
07:21:22  I think 33% efficient solar panels were invented last month, and they're prohibitively expensive to manufacture
07:21:44  what would be neat would be solar panels that were transparent, i.e. they transmitted most of the energy they didn't convert to electricity
07:21:54  that way if you needed to capture more light in a small area, you could stack them
07:22:10  Sgeo: most autotrophs are solar.  the few exceptions are things that rely on geothermal vents and chemosynthesis, not exactly enough to keep humanity alive
07:22:14  Sgeo: we'd pretty much need to move to hydroponics to grow food to eat
07:22:32  We'd have an easier time of it if we knew how to get fusion working.
07:22:35  we could do without animals, it's possible to live on plant matter and dietary supplements alone
07:22:44  but doing without plants as well is basically impossible
07:22:47  (/other/ animals, I mean)
07:22:51  we wouldn't want to, though
07:24:47  ais523: I suppose it's partly (mostly?) because the parts that do convert to electricity are reasonably picky about wavelengths, while the Sun's reasonably blackbodyish.
07:25:44  Still, 33% efficiency is far better than what grass manages.

12:13:22  so, I came to a sudden realisation last sleep period
12:13:28  brainfuck is a concatenative language
12:13:39  it's not a very typical or idiomatic concatenative language, but it is one
12:14:21  Is C also a concatenative language?
12:14:28  someone please agree with me or refute me, because this has implications
12:14:43  shachaf: no, you can't separate a function from its arguments in a concatenative way
12:14:56  I guess yeah?
12:15:05  OK, the contents of one C function?
12:15:12  Concatenation of two BF programs is also a valid BF program
12:15:19  shachaf: I meant in a function call
12:15:38  Slereah_: yeah, and if you see BF programs as functions (as in Pure BF), concatenating them = function composition
12:15:58  this means that my monads in BF idea may not be too far from the mark after all
12:16:20  the problem is that BF does not have any sort of operation on code segments
12:16:24  apart from repeating them
12:16:31  so you need a metalanguage to describe program transformations
12:16:50  so I guess it's more like saying that you can create monad-like structures that compile to BF
12:16:52  and operate on BF code

22:11:10  I don't think it has dedicated hardware sound-synthesis-only chips; but that's not to say all ROMs would use just pre-recorded PCM, apparently the DSPish chip that does graphics geometry things generally also does the actual audio synthesis, based on what data it gets from the MIPS core.

22:17:00  Phantom_Hoover: is your university MIT?
22:17:07  It's just mock assassinating people.
22:17:15  How organized?
22:17:15  It's also not running this year, apparently.
22:17:19  MIT's is a rather elaborate live action roleplaying society
22:17:20  http://web.mit.edu/assassin/www/
22:17:55  we aren't some high-falutin us university kmc
22:18:06  our assassins just use cardboard and water guns
22:19:08  fizzie, ah
22:20:17  at my school we had an assassination game which was all about leaving traps
22:20:25  kmc, what sort of traps?
22:20:40  to get a kill, the target had to trigger some kind of noise or flashing light or other prominent indicator placed by you
22:20:47  but triggered by them
22:20:54  people got pretty intense about defending themselves
22:21:02  had lackeys open doors for them, push on chairs before they sat down
22:21:03  heh
22:21:11  some people put razor wire in the ceilings above their rooms to prevent people breaking in
22:21:29  you are making this up right?
22:21:33  That sounds... crazy
22:21:50  not making it up
22:21:57  breaking in through the ceiling?
22:22:17  one time i got a kill by hiding a cellphone in someone's room, then setting up a buddy pounce in Pidgin which would send a text to that phone when the target logged in to AIM
22:22:31  this was deemed to count as them triggering the trap, even though it had to go through my computer
22:22:51  Phantom_Hoover: yeah, there was a whole 'hyperspace' area accessible above the ceiling, which you could crawl around in
22:22:54  was pretty cool
22:22:55  Did you get your phone back
22:23:12  there was 60 years of accumulated scavenged lab equipment hidden up there
22:23:13  Impressively insecure.
22:23:13   Phantom_Hoover: yeah, there was a whole 'hyperspace' area accessible above the ceiling, which you could crawl around in <-- uh...?
22:23:20  improvised local networks put in by the students in the 80's
22:23:21  etc
22:23:31  wow
22:23:35  kmc, which university was this?
22:23:40  they actually put in a homebrew phone / PBX / music sharing service in the 60's, before the college officially wired the dorms for phone
22:23:43  Caltech
22:23:57  US?
22:23:58  though when I played alley assassins, we were actually living in the horrible temporary trailer park housing
22:24:01  yes
22:24:10  heh
22:24:13  Vorpal: I don't *know*, but I wouldn't be surprised if the stock SGI microcode would support at least mixing K channels of (raw or compressed-with-some-codec) PCM (with DMA transfers), but possibly not much more software-synthesizy things than that.
22:24:16  see also http://kheafield.com/personal/kludgenet/photos/
22:24:24  no the german caltech
22:24:40  költech
22:26:35  we also spent evenings breaking into academic buildings and disassembling the locks on doors in order to construct home-made master keys
22:26:46  and exploring the steam tunnels of course
22:26:53  The German Caltech would have even their "kludgenet" done with MILITARY PRECISION.
22:27:20 * impomatic explored steam tunnels under the school once.
22:28:21  Without a torch! :-)
22:28:37  there was a *lot* of emo poetry written on the walls down there
22:28:52  ...steam pipes?
22:29:01  kmc, don't jump to conclusions!
22:29:26  yeah, they were full of steam pipes
22:29:26  Maybe there was a single, small group of emo poets that decided it was the darkest place to pour out their soul.
22:29:37  and water pipes and fiber optic cables etc
22:29:43  and boxes that say "DANGER 110,000 VOLTS"
22:29:46  all covered in asbestos
22:29:48  why would you pipe steam
22:30:05  it's more efficient to generate it centrally and use it to heat every building on campus
22:30:08  Phantom_Hoover, to fuel the rotor fan
22:30:15  a lot of colleges and corporate campuses do this
22:30:24  in fact some cities like New York have city-wide steam heat distribution
22:30:29  mine... does not
22:30:45  i just have a radiator in my room
22:30:49  I think my school does?
22:30:55  In the older building, anyway
22:31:02  Not sure
22:31:14  The older building used to be a hotel
22:32:01  Anyway, my school is just a high school and hence lame compared to your grand universities
22:32:27  I've been to exactly one school that wasn't built in the 19th century so central heating is the only heating I know
22:33:35 -!- monqy has joined.
22:34:49  I think a very clear majority of apartment buildings (don't know about standalone houses; some of those too) in cities in Finland tend to be part of the district heating network, though I don't know whether the big pipes carry steam or water; certainly the building-internal heating pipes are just warm water.
22:35:13  I guess it helps that the UK has pretty mild winters.
22:35:19  Do emos group? I thought they kept themselves to themselves...
22:35:54  Nah, they group
22:36:10  Is there a collective noun?
22:36:12  impomatic, what would be the point of that
22:36:34  who would they pour the inner septic tank of their soul onto
22:37:39  monqy: help

22:39:12  elliott: ?
22:39:29  Also I've heard some rumours that the Otaniemi student housing also had some... creative network installations way back in the dark ages; but they were all professional (100base-t inside walls for intra-building, 1000base-sx/lx/?x inter-building backbone) when I lived there.
22:39:36  monqy: dam
22:41:06  "The 1 Gbps upgrade project, which will eventually provide 1 Gbps access connectivity to all users and 10 Gbps uplinks to access switches, started in July 2010 from Servinkuja 1."  Oh, they've upgraded since then, too.
22:42:42  It's "only" tied to the Interweb through 2x10G connections via FUnet, so it's not like they could provide a real gigabit for everyone. But at least sharing of studying materials (that's what they used to call it) inside the campus will be nice and fast.
22:45:15  hehe
22:45:24  E.g. there were quite a few large corpora of instructional videos of human anatomy shared in the local network back when I lived there. (Slightly curious since the university doesn't have a medical school.)
22:49:20  would you say this was the work of corporoaphiles
22:55:59  It could be; some of the corpora were really quite large! (By the standards of the day, anyway; terabytes were still quite impressive numbers at least on the consumer side of the fence.)
22:56:05  seriously though, house fileservers *did* have lots of pirated copies of textbooks for important classes
22:56:22  which was super useful
22:57:17  That much is true. The search engines had a "book" search category that matched a couple of likely extensions.

23:00:58  http://wsyntax.com/cs/killer-norco-case/
23:02:12  i have 25 TB at home in a much simpler configuration, but not really any higher quality hardware, which has me worried
23:02:39  also i don't have ECC RAM so probably some of that 25 TB has random bits flipped
23:02:46  it occurred to me that I ought to stop gzipping my backups for this reason
23:02:55  or at least, reed-solomon-encode them after i gzip them
23:02:58  Wow
23:03:04  This is the future
23:03:20  kmc, how much does a can of Pepsi cost?
23:05:18  i don't know
23:05:21  is that a trick question?
23:05:28  soda is about $1 no matter how much you buy
23:05:31  I don't know!
23:05:39  Wow, a whole dollar?
23:05:48  That's like 100 times the number of dollars I have!
23:06:36  Quite a story.
23:06:50  fizzie, help, I'm in the future
23:07:04  I'm far enough into the future that 40TB is feasible
23:07:14  I think you can fix that with time travel.
23:07:22  I lost my time machine!
23:08:58  $ df -h|egrep 'Filesys|lustre'

23:09:28  want
23:09:38  how many physical drives and servers is that
23:10:08  I don't really know; it's some kind of a SAN delivered by a company.
23:10:14  fizzie++ # Filesys|
23:11:10  It also manages somehow to be terribly slow when it comes to some tens of thousands of small files. According to docs, it's really optimilized for very large files.
23:11:58  optimilitia
23:12:14  When (if) I've got a decent job, in the far off future, imagine how much hard drive I can have!
23:12:17  This is crazy!
23:12:27  By "really slow" I mean it took like two hours just to stat(2) 20k files in order to prune a file list; reading through a directory is fast enough, but MATLAB's dir function stats every file to find the size.
23:12:33  "If your license plate ends with an even number or 0, you fill up on even days"
23:12:42  so what sort of things do you have in 123 terabytes?
23:13:36   It also manages somehow to be terribly slow when it comes to some tens of thousands of small files. According to docs, it's really optimilized for very large files.
23:13:50  According to Moore's law, in 6 years I'll have 4 terabytes!
23:13:51  fizzie: make a filesystem optimised for small files as a file
23:13:54  on it
23:13:54  and mount it loopback!
23:14:00  atriq: *of RAM
23:14:10  Of hard drive :(
23:14:21  Bike: "Scientific data", I suppose. It's a cluster shared by the CS, physics, chemistry and such folks. I would assume it mostly runs simulations.
23:14:22  Bike: 123 terabytes? Clearly, store Blurays raw.
23:14:40  of course, of course
23:16:20  Saying that, I've got a laptop with 250 GB, an external with 130 GB, an external with 1 TB, and a computer from 2006 and one from 2001 so god knows how much hard drive they have
23:16:25  Just to pick a random job, someone's running "htseq.gencode_Sample_4.sh". I suspect some of the bio-computing folks.
23:16:26  This adds up to about 2 TB
23:16:27  :(
23:16:32  It has "gen" in it.
23:16:33  I feel insignificant
23:17:01  you could get a couple terabytes of bioinformatics data from the 'net to make yourself feel sciency
23:18:05  atriq: The cluster has two (I think) nodes with 1 TB of RAM each, in the "hugemem" queue, for applications that need reasonable amounts of RAM.
23:19:06  fizzie, across my house there is just over 2 TB of hard drive space. RAM, I've got no idea, about 20 GB, I think
23:19:14  Am I living in the past?
23:19:25  would you like some lotto numbers?
23:19:42  Please.
23:20:19  I don't have much more than maybe a total of 5-6 TB disk at home either.
23:20:24  to be fair, nearly anything is terribly slow with lots of small files
23:20:51  My place of work probably has less RAM and hard drive than this computer
23:20:53  i only have 60 GB disk and 3 GB RAM in my laptop
23:20:56  kmc: Not so slow that it takes *hours* with just 20k files.
23:20:58  But that's a charity shop
23:20:58  though i just ordered one with a bit more
23:21:03  fizzie: ok, that's bad
23:21:31  at ksplice we had the need to frequently generate chroots off some fixed template, do something with them, and then throw out the changes
23:21:42  initially we used a fancy unioning filesystem
23:21:56  but it was much faster to simply store the chroots as .tar.gz, decompress them to a ram disk, and then delete them
23:22:07  because that way the only disk IO is a big sequential read
23:24:14  http://wondermark.com/884/
23:24:47  Lustre has some kind of a complicated split-to-servers scheme, but it apparently makes initially starting an access on file a slow thing; once it's open, it can read bytes very fast. Sadly, our tools aren't really written with that in mind.
23:25:08  kmc: is your startup still classified
23:25:12  not exactly
23:25:17  so yes
23:25:28  we don't have, like, a public page saying  what we do
23:25:32  but we've been telling various people
23:25:38  what do you do
23:25:41  it's a text chat tool for businesses
23:25:48  so in one sense, just glorified IRC in the browser
23:25:53  but it has a different user experience from IRC
23:25:59  aw i was hoping for something at least 10x more exciting than that
23:26:03  yeah well
23:26:08  there you have it
23:26:14  elliott, do you want to do something more exciting, with me?
23:26:21  I heard everyone uses ninchat for that now.
23:26:22  like you were working on bombs that exploded into kittens or something
23:26:29  atriq: what are we talking here exactly
23:26:29  We can make a text chat tool for the MILITARY!
23:26:34  Ahahahaha!
23:26:35  ok how about
23:26:36  no
23:26:42  Good idea
23:26:55  (I haven't heard of anyone in particular actually using ninchat.)
23:28:04  huh never heard of ninchat until now
23:28:04  thanks
23:28:40 -!- carado has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
23:28:58  good to know kmc knows his competitors
23:29:37  thelliott
23:30:01  so yeah, it is a pretty different company and product from ksplice
23:30:04  but mostly the same people
23:30:06  which is interesting
23:30:17  Who are the other people?
23:30:23  what do you mean
23:30:59  Well, I guess I don't actually know most ksplice people.
23:31:36  that's okay, i don't know most non-ksplice people
23:31:47  Fair enough!
23:32:59  the people from "ksplice classic" who are still at oracle are andersk and spang
23:33:05  nelhage left but went to stripe
23:33:15  he has already implemented at least one EBCDIC-based financial systems protocol
23:33:54  programming sucks
23:34:02  beats shoveling coal
23:34:52  programmers are like the only people in america who aren't unemployed
23:35:06  america sucks too
23:35:07  in fact we are still in inexplicably high demand
23:35:19  well that bubble is still going on isn't it
23:35:22  yep
23:35:26  bubble?
23:35:27  thanks paul graham
23:35:30  bubble
23:35:45  plenty of jobs working for disruptive startups who are marketing services for other disruptive startups who are eventually going to disrupt each other all the way to bankruptcy auction
23:36:02  elliott: look, if you haven't started a company by the age of 14, you're a failure and should kill yourself
23:36:08  paul graham is just telling it like it is
23:37:19  YC came to MIT and gave a talk that was like "fuck MIT! drop out and do a startup" and then MIT did a talk that was like "fuck YC, we have our own incubator nobody has ever heard of!"
23:38:07  everybody loves capitalism
23:38:08  thankfully i did not attend either
23:39:19  it's so weird that software startup culture is obsesseed with funding
23:39:28  since it's basically the least capital-intensive industry that could possibly exist
23:39:51  but i guess getting a fat sack of cash is a nice way to demonstrate your worth that's easier than making a product people want or will pay money for
23:40:19  well if you have money you don't need a business model any more
23:41:58  I thought getting lots of funding was how it worked during the dotcom bubble too.
23:43:01  i would like to go back to the days where every company ended in .com
23:43:09  y combinator should be called startup.com
23:43:19  British East India Company.com
23:43:28  atriq: YES I AM TRAPPED IN FORTRAN HELP
23:43:42  elliott, y .combinator?
23:43:46  atriq: shouldn't that just be britisheastindia.com
23:43:53  KALLISTI, if you look to your left you should see a door labelled "COBOL".
23:43:55  Don't take it
23:44:01  elliott, nah
23:44:26  http://www.theeastindiacompany.com/ So...
23:45:21  well they just need to be better at branding clearly
23:45:31  what does the east india company even do now
23:45:46  What I do want to do is making up a open source FPGA and sell it, and I want to make sure the OpenCores stuff will run on there at good enough speed without wasting too much energy.
23:45:46  food, apparently
23:46:01  no word on paramilitaries
23:46:39  "When you hear our name you will probably already have a sense of who we are.  Deep within the world’s sub-consciousness is an awareness of The East India Company, powerful pictures of who we are. You’ll feel something for us; you’ll have a connection to us, even if you don’t know us."
23:46:40  um
23:46:46  that is pretty much the most sinister opening ever
23:46:59  Yeah, I'm not entirely sure if it's satire.
23:47:03  hey Bike
23:47:07  Actually I don't know anything about them; they are wrong.
23:47:09  how 'bout that eodermdrome interpreter
23:47:15  I got the Ullman paper.
23:47:46  "It’s not a new beginning, 
23:47:46  It’s a connection to heritage
23:47:46  It’s a continuation of a long tradition
23:47:46  It’s always been in our time
23:47:46  "
23:47:55  kind of freaked out by the east india company now
23:47:58  But it turns out that being completely naïve about graph theory makes it hard to write programs for it.
23:48:19  well wikipedia claims the east india company no longer exists
23:48:22  and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_India_Company_(disambiguation) is no help

23:51:37  shachaf: KeithW just reminded me of one of the less obvious advantages of Mosh
23:51:47  Bike, you should definitely familiarise yourself with adjacency matrices if you haven't already.
23:51:50  which is that, an attacker can terminate a SSH connection by sending a single RST packet
23:51:56  That's about as far as I got.
23:51:56  but Mosh's transport layer is encrypted-authenticated
23:52:34  Phantom_Hoover: well I know what those are at least.  I just napped through a lot of that part of discrete maths, and haven't written ay actual programs for this stuff before.
23:52:57  kmc: I think we've talked about that advantage of Mosh before.
23:53:04  Or at least that disadvantage of SSH.
23:54:20  `pastelogs SSH.*packet
23:54:25 * shachaf doesn't know how the log commands work.
23:54:32  `pastelog SSH.*packet
23:54:52  No output.
23:54:59  http://codu.org/projects/hackbot/fshg/index.cgi/raw-file/tip/paste/paste.18986
23:55:42  Yep.
23:56:23  2012-09-01.txt:22:51:50:  kmc: "For example, an attacker can abort an SSH connection or an HTTPS connection by forging a single TCP Reset packet."
23:56:48  Hah, that's a quote from curvecp.org

2012-11-10:

00:11:08  i wonder what are the consequences of that, besides DoS
00:11:19  perhaps it makes traffic analysis or session downgrade attacks easier
00:12:10  Well, as you pointed out, you still need to know the sequence number to send the RST packet.
00:12:43  i wonder how long it is before Chromium installs a shim that runs as root and reimplements TCP to their exact preferences using raw sockets
00:14:58  Goodnight
00:14:58 -!- atriq has quit (Quit: Leaving).
00:15:15 -!- Phantom__Hoover has joined.
00:17:14  i wonder if people worry about "end-to-end" net neutrality
00:17:31  that is, instead of your ISP making certain sites slower, your browser or OS could do so
00:17:51  it's already the case that Chrome performs better and is more secure when accessing Google sites, not for particularly nefarious reasons
00:18:38 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds).
00:27:43   it's already the case that Chrome performs better and is more secure when accessing Google sites, not for particularly nefarious reasons <-- or anything else that offers SPDY
00:27:50  which is starting to appear
00:28:09  sure
00:28:14  I guess the list of hard coded certificates won't be available to most other sites though
00:28:44  I think some big non-google sites have that protection as well, like paypal
00:29:30  also some vanity domains of the people who worked on the feature at google :3
00:29:45  i think there is a process for third parties to get included
00:29:47  oh? heh
00:29:52  in the HSTS preload if not the hardcoded certs
00:30:02  ah
00:30:21  i mean Chromium is open source right ;)
00:30:31  well yeah
00:30:45  the vast majority will be using Chrome not Chromium, just saying
00:31:34  doesn't chrome pull from the open source project though
00:31:54  well sure
00:32:03  but they can make their own modifications should they wish to
00:32:04  kmc: Do you use Chromium?
00:32:15  yeah
00:32:21  Do you use libpdf.so?
00:32:27  don't think so
00:32:44  shachaf, what is libpdf.so?
00:32:48  something from poppler?
00:32:55  A plugin from Chrome to view PDFs in-browser.
00:33:00  I think it's binary-only.
00:33:03  ah
00:33:08  I used to use it but it crashes Chromium now.
00:33:32  "Pop a Poppler in your mouth when you come to Fishy Joe's / What they're made of is a mystery, where they come from no-one knows"
00:33:47  that explains the difference in behaviour between Windows and Linux chrom(e|ium) PDF behaviour
00:34:03  "You can pick 'em you can lick 'em you can chew 'em you can stick 'em / If you promise not to sue us you can shove one up your nose."
00:34:16  Vorpal: Chrome has the PDF viewer on every platform now, I think.
00:34:19  But not Chromium.

02:12:34  XChat says my lag is 12.4 seconds, but I saw that almost instantly
02:13:12  what use-cases
02:15:02  Taking an IRC bot and making it talk on a different protocol without writing a fake IRC server.
02:15:49  why on earth would writing a fake server be the solution there
02:16:01  have you actually written an irc bot
02:16:09  Yes, several.
02:16:20  But I'm thinking more of bots whose code I am too lazy to change
02:16:59  do those bots run on plan 9
02:17:36  Is there a Tcl implementation that runs on Plan 9? Is there a Python implementation that runs on Plan 9?
02:17:55  Actually, hmm, I think the Tcl bot uses some library that uses native code, for XML stuff :(
02:18:02  hey
02:18:04  Not entirely sure
02:18:39  more to the point, does the socket stuff in the irc library work on plan 9 and bla bla bla bla
02:18:41  i really dont see how youd be able to use an existing program and do those things
02:18:45  since
02:18:47  youd need an actual file to override
02:18:52  so itd have to do networking plan 9-style
02:18:56  which a compatibility layer... wouldnt
02:19:40  Wouldn't the networking API of a Plan 9 implementation of those languages do Plan 9 style networking when the application does what it thinks are normal networking calls?
02:19:43  Maybe it would be easier to write an x86/OS emulator that would automatically translate into appopriate protocol thingamajiggers.
02:19:56  well if it does networking plan 9 style
02:20:04  then i'm pretty sure you'd have to actually supply the whole dial() device thing
02:20:13  i forget how it actually works though
02:20:20  but i dont really see how this is viable with any kind of compatibility layer
02:20:31  that said i approve of use of plan 9

02:22:01  Less than a minute later. I'm impressed.
02:22:40  plan 9 is still based on the idea that C is the end-all of programming languages and the byte is the most perfect data structure, right?
02:22:43  i guess inferno is not
02:24:23  Am I going to see Plan 9-style beauty by looking at Inferno, is my question I guess
02:26:14  inferno is like plan 9 but in a vm but weird and there's limbo and stuff
02:26:20  also its deader than plan 9 afaik
02:26:28  since some people actually use plan 9 and i dont think anyone really uses inferno
02:26:32  so i dont know why youd look at it
02:26:38  kmc: well sort of
02:26:41  Is Limbo bad?
02:26:57  kmc: it takes the directory tree as the most perfect data structure moreso, also its C language is better than standard C
02:27:02  kmc: but yes that is its main problem
02:27:07  kmc: oh it also has excellent Unicode support obviously
02:27:14  since invented UTF-8 etc.

02:34:50  hi
02:35:09  how is its C better than standard C
02:35:55  i forget all the changes but all the ones it does have are good changes
02:36:14  like its IO library isn't nearly as dumb
02:36:26  its linking system is much better (no -l at the command-line)
02:36:32  it has the nice struct inclusion thing go has
02:36:38  (and GNU C, as an extension nobody uses)
02:37:01  also it does cross-compilation much much better
02:37:05  plan 9 has excellent cross-architecture support
02:37:12  since it was built to handle distributed systems that used multiple architectures
02:37:15  but one filesystem
02:37:27  and of course it has actual unicode support
02:37:35  (BMP only because it predates >16-bit Unicode, unfortunately)
02:39:13 -!- Sgeo_ has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
02:41:55  which struct inclusion?
02:44:14  struct foo { struct bar; ... }
02:44:22  if bar has element x you can do f.x where struct foo f;
02:44:33  it's like "inheritance" but it's actually composition
02:44:43  huh
02:44:47  what if you want a struct that actually has a struct as an element?
02:44:48  and this just happens automatically in gnu c?
02:44:49  (the -l removal thing is done by having pragmas in the header files that specify what library to link with fwiw)
02:44:54  Bike: then you do struct bar y;
02:44:59  ahhh.
02:45:00  oh i see
02:45:08  kmc: no it just supports the same syntax (iirc, maybe it is actually different) if you enable the extension with a flag
02:45:34  that's pretty gross yet enjoyable, like 
02:45:50  most gnu c extensions don't require a flag beyond -std=gnu99 or whatever, which is default
02:46:47  http://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/programming/c_programming_in_plan_9 is a decent introduction to Plan 9 C
02:47:07  though a practical one rather than one that explains why Plan 9's programming environment feels so well-designed
02:47:31  oh right plan 9 also has a networking library that doesn't make me want to die

03:01:12  argh, I'm obsessed by instruction set design
03:02:17  What instruction sets do you design?
03:04:52  usually they're in the family of early RISCs
03:05:06  avoiding out of order execution basically
03:05:41  but trying to avoid ending up with something impossible to pipeline like the 6502
03:06:09  Is the ARM2 instruction set OK?
03:06:32  often the results look kinda like the ARM instruction set yes
03:08:33  Have you send anything to Famicompo Mini vol.9? I have send some, but I won't tell you which one.
03:09:19  One instruction set I want to have is some instruction set which the Checkout esolang compile into easily and have a hardware implementation (in some hardware description language)
03:09:25  nah, this time around I didn't care enough and didn't make anything
03:10:19  Did you download it?
03:10:31  didn't really listen to it
03:11:36  What's Famicompo?
03:11:51  bike: NSF song competition
03:11:52  Bike: Music contest involving .NSF format
03:11:58  ah.
03:12:10  NSF is music ripped from NES games
03:12:22  You can use any number of expansions (including multiple expansions) or no expansions.
03:12:27  playing it actually involves running a small NES emulator
03:13:11  Not always is ripped you can make up your own music using various programs such as ppMCK and FamiTracker.
03:13:44  yeah for Famicompo you make your own song
03:13:45 -!- NihilistDandy has joined.
03:14:27  you can actually play the songs from famicompo if you have a powerpak cart... or at least, the ones that don't use expansions
03:14:59  I always use ppMCK (although I have made various improvements to ppMCK, so now it has track questioning commands, subroutines, tail recursion, text replacement macros, custom tuning, and various other things)
03:15:01  and fit in the powerpak (max 256k data I think)
03:15:05  I was confused by all the talk of instruction sets.
03:15:43  instruction set design is hard :o
03:16:01  I have tried in before to design instruction set.
03:16:10  well yes, but is that related to chiptuning, or what
03:16:12  I have designed some instruction sets for virtual machines, though.
03:16:32  bike: yes
03:16:36  well, NSF is
03:16:41  not instruction sets :D
03:18:15  Have you used some effect with multi channels with the same notes but with different delay, duty, octave, etc?
03:25:13  Such as in "ctfinal" the M and N channels play the same notes but with a different delay, duty, volume, and octave; same with a and channels, and the C and O channels play the same notes with no delay but they have a different waveform, and uses detune, etc
03:26:52  So I have set up effect at the start like       M @@0@v1     and     N @@1@v2r16K12     and then when the notes are played like      MN l4o4 ce-gc' ^1 b-2gb- ^c'^2 ce-a- ^1 g2f^8a-8 gfe-d    it will use effects that are set.

03:28:11  Although you said you used Impulse Tracker? So you would have to program the effects differently
03:29:50  You would have to write them manually I guess, or use copy/paste
03:48:05  every time flash plugin crashes, take a shot
03:49:52  I often use fake delay and detuning and layering yes
03:50:25  I use copy/paste a lot

03:59:18  i like how it is by 
04:00:40  How can you program NSF effects in Impulse Tracker anyways?
04:00:51  elliott: guess the wire doesn't have much capacity
04:01:50  zzo: depends on the converter
04:01:59  there are like 3 different converters
04:02:29  What do you use?
04:02:46  all 3 :D
04:03:00  s3m2nsf is the simples
04:03:01  t
04:03:25  only supports VRC6, no special macros
04:03:38  it simply plays the s3m with the NES waveforms as the samples
04:04:11  for some freak reason, s3m note frequencies and NES ones are the same
04:06:02  But wouldn't you still have to program in the duty of square waves?
04:06:45  it simply uses instrument 1,2,3,4 as duties 12%,25%,50%,75%
04:07:18  OK, although VRC6 supports different duty than 2A03 (and VRC6 also lacks 75% duty)
04:07:19  and 5 as triangle wave, 6 noise, 7 short noise, 8+ dpcm
04:07:43  zzo: oh yeah forgot about those
04:08:10  I can't remember how it maps the VRC6 duties but it's just instrument numbers too
04:09:17  the second converter is it2nsf and it supports a lot more stuff
04:09:25  essentially all expansions
04:09:30  MML macros
04:09:45  (you have to enter them in the song comments and it parses that)
04:10:17  some IT stuff like note off commands
04:11:04  third converter is supernsf which is the one that does software mixing for multichannel PCM
04:15:00  Can it use the MMC5 8-bit PCM?
04:15:48  dunnp
04:15:49  o
04:16:10  The MMC5 8-bit PCM is the only feature which ppMCK does not support.
04:16:23  supernsf uses the same hw as the DPCM
04:16:28  it just writes the value
04:16:37  O, so it uses 7-bit PCM, then.
04:16:41  yes
04:22:52  Have you used ppMCK or any other programs to write a .NSF music other than the three you mentioned?
04:26:13  What I would like to have is program to compile MML into MOD/S3M/IT modules; do you know of any such software?
04:26:48  kmc: btw plan 9's rc shell is also much better than any unix shell I know of
04:27:00  (in terms of the language, not the interactive features, of which it has none; that's all in the terminal in plan 9)
04:27:14  no I just use IT + converter
04:27:34  I've never tried MML actually
04:29:36  It might be difficult to do because you may have various features in MML which the module formats does not support, including desynchronized loops and having multiple effects running simultaneously and subroutines and various other things
04:29:51  I have used Impulse Tracker and ModPlug Tracker, but I find MML is much better.
04:30:05  Some people don't; and that is OK you can use what you prefer.
04:31:31  Which expansion audio have you used in .NSF?
04:31:32  yeah but most of these things are very rare in music
04:32:19  you'd think the limit of having only one effect blocks many things but in real life usage it's really not that bad at all
04:32:44  most effects are either used on note on or after note on and are more or less mutually exclusive
04:33:07  desynchronized loops in not useful in music
04:33:22  subroutines I just do with copy paste
04:34:33  Well, I do sometimes have some channels playing a much shorter loop than others
04:35:00  If it is an exact multiple, it could easily be compiled into a format that does not support that, by automatically making as many copies as needed
04:40:42  has to be on beat
04:40:50  so of course it's all going to be powers of 2
04:41:31  Although the time signature could be 3/4 or something else like that
04:44:05  mostly it's much easier to listen to your song as you make it in the tracker
04:45:31  that a much larger advantage that anything you'd win from subroutine stuff
04:45:43  Maybe to you it is.
04:46:04  it's the different between music and programming :D
04:46:49  it's better to copy paste a section of music
04:46:49  But even deaf people can write music.
04:47:32  than to have multiple links to one piece of data
04:47:47  because if you copy paste it's much easier to modify it
04:47:54  without changing the other copies
04:49:25  and that's something you want to do a LOT
04:49:42  variation is the key
04:49:52  To you it is. To me, well, sometimes I want to make a copy with variation, but other times I don't want.
04:50:09  if you don't want variation you just copy paste
04:50:16  But especially if it is a multi-channel effect I don't want to have to change everything in all channels
04:50:42  mhm, in that case you're right
04:51:34  Of course in MML you can still copy/paste too (and use any other functions your text editor has, such as regular expressions), and I use that too.
04:52:09  I just find it easier to write music using MML, although this is not the case for everyone.
04:52:59  well, that's because you're a programmer
04:54:49  Even things specific to music such as to indicate if I want D sharp or E flat (which are the same note, but written differently), or even double sharp possibly, or to change ostinato, including short drum loops, to just write it once and have it loop
04:55:48  And comments; sometimes I want to keep track of what chords I want and so on
04:58:13  why would you want to use a double sharp
04:58:41  It is rare, but there are some cases in which such thing would be used.
04:59:30  like when
04:59:36  Another thing which is rare but sometimes used is to change the time signature in different parts of the music, and what is even more rare is for the right hand and left hand to have different time signatures.
05:00:07  madbr: One case is if your key signature has sharps, and you want to raise one of those notes in one case, you would use a double sharp.
05:03:24  that's really only important in staff notation
05:03:39  and just really when it's the most readable notation, which is very rare
05:06:01  Well, at least I find it easier to write music when keeping track of things such as this.
05:06:25  that's because you're a programmer
05:06:59  when you're punching in notes for the sound it doesn't matter if your Gm chord is G A# D
05:07:27  No, it is because I know how to write music.
05:07:45  I don't just make up notes at random to see if it sound right.
05:08:22  I would think of the notes I want and then put them in.
05:08:32  ah
05:08:37  Like anyone who write music would do.
05:08:42  what I do is that I think of notes
05:08:47  then try them
05:08:49  listen
05:08:54  if I like it, keep
05:09:10  if I don't like it, try to see if I can make it better
05:09:34  also it's easy to get "happy accidents"
05:09:43  which you'll want to keep and elaborate on ofc
05:10:59  also it helps when you try 2 or 3 voicings for a chord
05:11:03  and chose the best one
05:13:00  I would just think of if it is OK or not; there is no need to try it until after it is written.
05:13:36 -!- NihilistDandy has quit (Quit: ["Textual IRC Client: www.textualapp.com"]).
05:14:07  do you play your stuff on a keyboard as you compose it?
05:14:11  And some composers are deaf they cannot listen to it at all. However, they are much better composers than I am anyways.
05:14:15  or sing to yourself?
05:14:22  madbr: Sometimes, but usually I just think of it.
05:14:34  there's beethoven but that was a special case
05:15:13  I do have a piano but usually (not always) I find it sufficient to think of it, and using the classical musical theory.
05:16:31  theory won't tell you if a melody works or not
05:16:33  It can often be easier when written down, though, especially the chords.
05:17:05  madbr: Yes, I know, but if I can think of the melody then I could know the melody.
05:17:09  or if a given progression of chord voicings don't work even tho they're correct in theory
05:18:59  Yes, with chord voicings I do sometimes find it necessary to try it, although not always; the chords I may play on piano, although I may write them down on a normal musical notation; melody I can usually just think of and write using MML.
05:19:52  But like I said not always, so even when writing the chords directly using MML I will write comments so that I know what chord I want instead of having to read the notes (even when writing on paper, I write the chord symbols so I know what chords I want; this is same idea)
05:21:11  But usually I will know that I want this voice to go up and down, and that voice to go down and up, and then work the chords around that.
05:22:55  So the voices may be written like separate melody or accompaniment
05:24:32  I only know the classical music theory, and it works for me, although I usually don't need any theory to know if the melody is good.
05:25:08  do you know jazz theory?
05:25:21  No, I don't know jazz
05:28:34  My sister studied both classical and jazz
05:36:35  also if you don't listen to your stuff as you compose it, how do you know when to follow the rules and when not to? :D
05:37:45  I don't know how I know, somehow I usually know, though; some other composers do too and I don't know how they know either.
05:38:38  and how do you mix your nsf music?
05:38:48  Using ppMCK.
05:39:23  you do multiple conversions adjusting stuff each time?
05:41:09  If I do something I realize I didn't like, then yes I will adjust something each time, but usually I don't need unless I made a mistake. Usually the first thing I would do is to write only a few bars to figure out the effects I want, and then I know what effects and the rest of the music I can write all at once since I can think of that.
05:45:54  Famicompo Mini vol.7 has a few files in original section using multiple expansions, but in vol.9 there is only one file in original section which uses multiple expansions.
05:46:22  Which expansions have you used?
05:46:32  vrc6, vrc7
05:46:42  especially vrc7
05:47:49  I did write a program to test VRC7 patches, although I wrote it a while ago before I know really how it works, so it is very unlikely to work on a real hardware and runs only on an emulator, but it is good enough for my use.
05:48:21  Although sometimes there is no need and I just know if I want a pure sine wave it is easy and it is not necessary to test it at first.
05:48:26  I would probably have done the patches on adlib tracker 2 (OPL3)
05:48:34  and translated them
05:48:57  but I used only default patches
05:50:24  I do not think it has all features of OPL3, so I don't expect that to work.
05:50:37  well, using only the subset that works ofc
05:52:37  I made a .NES file to test the VRC7 patches instead (it test both the built-in and custom patches), although what you suggest might work too.
05:53:36  Have you used VRC6 and VRC7 together?
05:54:42  no
05:55:03  the mix of regular nes channels and vrc7 is already crazy enough :D
05:55:49  I should write more opl3 music
05:56:03  there's not enough opl3 specific music (using custom patches etc)
05:56:32  Is there Csound program to emulate OPL3?
05:57:16  there's an OPL3 emulation in the MAME source code
05:58:02  I think some of the features are wrong but very few people used those so in actual use (ie games on dosbox) it works
05:58:41  But Csound has its own programming language for writing music.
05:59:17  yes that's why I don't use Csound
06:01:08  The orchestra format is OK, but the score format seem wouldn't be very good to write music and MML would be better; but, Csound only support the numeric score. (A program could be written to convert MML to numeric score, and I might write such a program.)
06:01:49  dude
06:02:05  tbh you should learn to use something like ableton
06:02:11  But I do like the Csound orchestra format.
06:02:20  or reaper or cubase or fruity loops
06:02:25  or etc...
06:02:41  programs that are designed for, you know, composing music
06:02:45  I have used some of those and I find they don't help.
06:03:30  Especially if you want to write your own instrument program; for this, I find Csound is very good and I have experimented with some instrument sounds using Csound.
06:05:29  I'd rather use something like synthedit for designing instruments
06:06:07  or use C++ and make a nice tight VST that other ppl can use too
06:09:28  for me csound is in the same category as max/msp and puredata and supercollider and whatever else
06:09:49  toys until someone can demonstrate a serious musical use
06:10:27  er max/msp is used to make actual music that people buy
06:10:59  youtube link
06:11:06  what
06:11:30  link to a song that is actual music that people buy and that uses max/msp
06:11:46  uh oh, elliott ! hope you know your music
06:11:54  is this a trick question where you define "actual music" as "not whatever i linked to"
06:11:59  no
06:12:19  right off the top of my head i know autechre use max extensively for example
06:12:38  aha yeah ok that definitely counts
06:12:52  max costs money so probably people use it for actual things???
06:12:59  bad "roi" otherwise
06:13:28  akira yamaoka uses max, he scores video games and crap.
06:13:28  monqy: it's not about the money
06:13:54  you can't buy roi with happiness
06:13:54  bad "roi" ?
06:13:58  return on investment
06:14:06  you mean money roi or usage roi?
06:14:12  roi roi
06:14:24  I don't like VST, although Csound can be compiled with support for VST (in both directions) if you need it. Csound can also load MIDI sequences if that would help you too.
06:14:42  what's wrong with vst?
06:15:52  It has restrictive licensing, is Windows only, requires a GUI to use, and some others. Nevertheless Csound can use VST if it is helpful to do so.
06:16:38  windows/mac
06:16:53  also it's like the least stupid of the plugin APIs
06:17:15  AU is like 10 times more restrictive, RTAS like 100 times
06:17:33  also it does not require a GUI
06:18:06  making GUI-less VSTs is actually really easy
06:18:16  easier than with a gui ofc
06:18:37  Well yes but some VSTs requires GUI.
06:18:48  what's wrong with that
06:19:45  Nothing much, but still, I think Csound is much better (actually Csound can use GUI too)
06:20:18  Still sometimes some things can be difficult to do when a GUI is required.
06:21:13  Does VST require a different program for Windows and Macintosh computers?
06:22:03  haven't tried compiling VSTs on macos
06:22:10  so I dunno how different
06:22:42  presumably you don't need too much source changes and it might all be handled in the VST header stuff
06:23:15  (with preprocessors)
06:23:51  Well, still you need to compile it separately on the other computer, which is not always required with Csound and Pure Data and whatever (although you still do need to if you are using native code, although probably no source changes will be needed, at least with Csound and no GUI, I think)
06:25:46  I still find Csound is a good way to write instrument sounds. Yet if you need VST, you can use that with Csound too.
06:27:00  Csound makes sense for generating samples that you'll load up in a more practical composition tool imho
06:27:41  Well, that won't work so well if you need parameters, though. But if you don't need parameters, that works.
06:28:27  can you load csound as a vst?
06:28:32  madbr: Yes you can.
06:29:14  yeah ok in that case it's potentially useful
06:29:14  And if you do that then you can use parameters too.
06:29:50  Csound can also load MIDI files in case you use a MIDI program (or external MIDI instrument) to write the music.
06:30:09  no that's not what you want to do
06:30:18  you want to pipe your midi into the VST
06:30:38  from your host sequencer, real time
06:31:02  Csound can do that too, whether or not you use VST.
06:33:20  There are also some front-ends available for Csound.
06:34:00  I'm not sold on the idea of front-ends
06:34:37  dunno for sound programs but for emulators, the ones that use front-ends are the worst
06:35:05  much better to have the gui and emu code as one program
06:36:49  trying to locate a csound DLL I could load
06:37:51  I don't use any of the front-ends myself, but some day I may write a program to compile MML to Csound numeric score, to write music with it, as the numeric score format seems a terrible way to write any music (although some people have written music this way).
06:38:09  madbr: Yes I think there is DLL the documentation should mention it I think.
06:38:37  But I think for VST, you need to have VST support compiled in; I don't think VST support is compiled in by default, for some reason I don't know.
06:38:51  I don't want to compile shit
06:38:57  I want a DLL I can play with
06:39:27  Maybe you can download the DLL for VST separately and it will work; I haven't checked. But the documentation does say you can use VST both ways.
06:42:15  It says: CsoundVST is a multi-function front end for Csound, based on the Csound API. CsoundVST runs as a stand-alone graphical user interface to Csound, and it also runs as a VST instrument or effect plugin in VST hosts such as Cubase with the same user interface. CsoundVST is part of the main csound source tree, but is not included in standard distributions, due to licensing limitations of Steinberg's VST SDK.

08:33:17  The program is also badly written, although I can post it here:  http://sprunge.us/RUiH
08:34:12  I’ve written some very ugly Haskell code that creates a vector using destructive updates. It is in fact an imperative algorithm, not a functional one. When the initialization is over the vector is frozen using unsafeFreeze. I wrote my code using read and write functions, tested it using QuickCheck and when the tests passed I switched to unsafeRead and unsafeWrite to make my program faster. Some time later I started getting random segfaults ...
08:34:18  ... when running my tests. This never happened before in any of my Haskell programs so I almost panicked. At first I didn’t had a slightest idea how to even approach this problem. I suspected that this might even be a bug in GHC.

20:23:32  Actually, it's more the fault of meatspace people.
20:23:35  Now, if you excuse me, I've got some Adventure Time to be watching.
20:23:39  That's next.

20:25:18  And suddenly, an 11 episode funeral!
20:33:37  It's weird, but I am a *lot* more comfortable watching MLP now that I came ultra-mega-hyper-out.
20:34:01  "Lawl, that's gay" "Yup, I like cock so much I'm dating a woman with one. Problem? *trollface*"
20:34:07  :P
20:34:53  Are you implying FIM isn't for heterosexual men
20:35:17  No, just that I had slight latent fears of being accused of being gay.
20:35:30  In spite of actually not being heterosexual.
20:36:13  Sorry, I've just had rough experiences with people IRL being dicks, and not in the sense that I like. :P
20:36:21  Is coming ultra-mega-hyper-out much different from coming regular-plain-ol'-out?
20:36:49  atriq: Yes, it's about 3 times as much outness.
20:36:54  it means pkhq is dating a transsexual pony, apparently
20:36:57  :P
20:37:06  No, not a pony.
20:37:17  I imagine it involves screaming unto the heaven while volcanoes erupt and cities crumble
20:37:39  But I managed to inform people that I'm bisexual atheist dating a trans woman, not heterosexual Christian single.
20:38:30  (the last, I would've just neglected to mention the trans bit, and it would've been merely twice-out or such, except it's a bit hard to be *discrete* when she's only started working on her voice.)
20:43:03  pikhq_: you mean "discreet", not "discrete"
20:43:15  Yes, I do.
20:43:18  unless you're trying to say that her voice forces you to be continuous ;)
20:43:38  Sorry, I usually use the math word, so I sometimes slip up when using the "normal" word. :)

21:24:14  Which was funny. "No, no, I'm a freshman."
21:24:29  I'm not terribly tall, I think 180.5 cm was the official measurement at some routine health checkup last. I suppose that's like 5'11".

22:02:58  Because at least having homosexuality being classed as something innate was some kind of improvement.
22:03:23  better than it being illegal, I suppose
22:04:19  Phantom_Hoover: It was used as justification for curing the gay.
22:05:37  Weren't they just criminalising it before?
22:06:09  It only became legal nation-wide in the 2003.
22:06:30  When the SCOTUS ruled that sodomy laws were unconstitutional.
22:06:45  Thereby legalizing it in 14 states.
22:07:03  So anal sex between straight couples was illegal too?
22:07:10  Yes.
22:08:27  Was that something they were deliberately trying to do or just a side-effect?

22:09:03  it's dumb that we even have to care as a society whether homosexuality is "innate" or not
22:09:04  (the others repealed on the notion that it was just embarassing now)
22:09:56  it speaks to the fact that our legal system is still based on fear of divine judgement, rather than assessing harm to others or lack thereof
22:10:48  in other news obama has finally won florida as well
22:11:41  yay
22:12:31  pikhq_, which 3
22:12:34  yay florida did not matter :)
22:12:46  Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas.
22:13:09  in fact he would have won without OH, FL, *or* VA
22:16:38  so would you say this election was more entertaining than the last
22:16:47  definitely not
22:17:07  last time we had an epic democratic nomination fight
22:17:23  which i made a considerable amount of money betting on
22:17:50  also the republican nominee last time was someone who had been written off as dead early on
22:17:55  and neither of them was an incumbent
22:18:33  2008 was unusual and history-making in a bunch of ways
22:18:35 -!- quintopia has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds).
22:18:40  new states coming into play, etc
22:18:52  also i got really drunk on election night 2008 so yeah
22:18:56  much more entertaining
22:19:54  n.b. by "epic" i mean "actually epic" and not "internet word for kind of interesting"
22:23:49  you mean "epic" as in "my five-volume poetical envisioning is already at the press", right
22:24:09  i would read that
22:24:14  actually an opera
22:24:20  yes, yes indeed
22:24:32  with barack obama and hillary clinton singing in italian
22:24:42  terza rima the whole way through
22:24:57  epic (from the Ancient Greek adjective ἐπικός (epikos), from ἔπος (epos) "word, story, poem"[1])
22:25:13  Can they speak Italian?

22:26:40  O, OK, then.
22:28:02  Do you think /([-+])([0-9]*)(d[0-9]+|)(g-?[0-9]+|)([dk][hl][0-9]*|)/ is OK for dice rolling specification or do you think some features have been missed?
22:28:05 -!- quintopia has joined.
22:28:52  Shouldn't [-+] be optional?
22:29:14  annoying things about mailman: I tried to send a message through a mailing list I administered
22:29:24  Actually it adds a + to the beginning implicitly so it is already optional for the first term only.
22:29:31  it told me there were too many names on the To: line and that it had been held for moderation, and a separate email asking me to moderate it
22:29:35  For other terms it is required.
22:29:49  FireFly: [-+] looks rather like an infinite loop, if it does anything at all
22:30:05  ais523: regex, not brainfuck :P
22:30:27  I'd write the regex as [+-], for consistency in escaping character classes
22:30:33  if you want ] in a character class it has to come at the start
22:30:37  and - has to come at one of the ends
22:30:49  so I put the - at the right end out of habit in order to avoid clashes

22:31:14  ais523: hey, I'm supposed to ask you about Feather
22:31:14  so, say, something that matches BF comments is [^][<>,.+-]
22:31:20  err, don't
22:31:31  ok
22:31:31  the summary is, it was originally an attempt at a serious esolang
22:31:35  but I got mad thinking about it
22:31:45  so it became an inside joke (the joke being "ais523 refuses to talk about Feather")
22:31:54  ah.  shrewd
22:31:55  OK but that still doesn't completely answer my question (it only partially)
22:31:56   ais523: hey, I'm supposed to ask you about Feather <-- hah
22:32:04  also nobody else really seems to understand the language
22:32:14  I mean, I don't either, but I understood it more than other people before it drove me crazy and I stopped
22:32:22  next you're going to tell me that i don't have to write a eodermdrome interpreter
22:32:28  ais523, you gave it up for good?
22:32:29  :(
22:32:44  Bike, Feather involved retroactive changes to the interpreter of the language iirc
22:32:44  Vorpal: no
22:32:53  that sounds pretty exciting
22:32:56  Bike: an eodermdrome interp would be great, go for it
22:33:03  Vorpal: I didn't
22:33:13  well, yeah, I've got the subgraph isomorphism check thing down
22:33:15  Bike, you don't *have* to do anything, that is up to you
22:33:29  ais523, yay
22:33:36  I think the Feather article could use some links to relevant portions of the channel logs
22:33:38  really, I'm pretty sure I was told that it was a rite of passage, and otherwise I'd be left to the brainfuck wolves
22:33:49  and yeah, I was asking about the logs.  since there's nine years in the topic.
22:34:16  I wanted to design a hardware and instruction set which makes certain things possible to do efficiently, including run Checkout programs, decode open source audio/video codecs, and emulate the Famicom APU and PPU.
22:34:16  most recently I was poking at the edges of the problem that a Feather interpreter must be entirely written in Feather, also you must be able to interpret a Feather program through an arbitrarily large stack of Feather interpreters with only a constant performance penalty (that is, constant time added, not constant factor multiplied)
22:34:29  this is… not really a trivial problem
22:35:03  does anyone know of a software like teamspeak but that is open source?
22:35:17  it's slightly more tractable if you force Feather programs to have a property that's a bit like totality but stronger
22:35:31  that sounds like like that 900-page 3-lisp thesis i've never been able to read
22:35:35  infinite stack of interpreters that is
22:35:43  Feather does this sort of thing all the time
22:35:50  Vorpal: I've heard of Mumble, but haven't tried it
22:35:52  rad
22:35:54   and yeah, I was asking about the logs.  since there's nine years in the topic. <-- better start reading!
22:35:55  it's no wonder that I got confused
22:35:59  FireFly, thanks, will look into that
22:36:31  (the larger problem, which I don't really know how to solve, is trying to determine, after a retroactive change to the fundamentals of the entire universe, which object before the change corresponds to which object afterwards)
22:36:52  ais523, why does it require a constant performance penality?
22:37:00  nobody said it had to be fast
22:37:00  Does someone here know something about design of such hardware and instruction set?
22:37:10  Does OpenCores have any such things?
22:37:26  Vorpal: for everything except the 2,3 machine, I consider terminating before the heat death of the universe to be a desirable property
22:37:28  especially for testing
22:37:35  well yeah
22:37:48  and even the 2,3 machine proof I managed to test each of the parts individually, and in pairs and threes and fours
22:37:56  just fives was beyond the ability of my computer
22:38:10  ais523, how much beyond?
22:38:20  many orders of magnitude
22:38:27  nice
22:38:34  we're talking about O(2^(2^n)) performance here
22:38:42  wow
22:38:42  (where ^ is exponentiation, not bitwise xor)
22:38:47  intense
22:38:58  ais523, as long as it isn't up arrow I'm happy :P
22:39:04  this is one of the least practical computational orders I've ever seen :)
22:40:06  nonetheless, Wolfram was insisting that the machine in question might be useful for implementing DNA computers and such
22:40:14  not with this construction, at least, it won't be :)
22:40:48  :P
22:41:12  one thing I realised for the first time when I met him in person was that he hadn't actually read or understood the proof
22:41:19  heh, one of the rapid transit lines in new york has reopened with two stations deliberately closed to avoid dangerous overcrowding
22:41:20  and just cared about the page hits from it
22:41:44  ouch
22:42:09  kmc: which ones?
22:42:11  well, or whatever the less web-specific version of page hits is
22:42:13  proof of what?
22:42:17  idea exposure, or whatever
22:42:38  Bike: http://wolframprize.com
22:42:46  Bike, ais523's proof that the 2,3 machine is TC
22:42:46  (warning: sets a cookie on every image load, I /hate/ sites that do that)
22:42:54  FireFly: PATH from Journal Square to 33rd St; Christopher St and 9th St stations are closed
22:43:01  dang, that was you?
22:43:11  ais523, oh is THAT what causes firefox to go crazy?
22:43:16  I always wondered
22:43:23  Vorpal: it's not the only cause, but it's the most common
22:43:29  Bike: yes, people didn't believe it for a while
22:43:31  why does firefox handle it in such a stupid way
22:43:35  pretty sure chrome does not
22:43:51  Vorpal: because technically speaking they're separate requests
22:43:52  i'll just assume that I'm talking to an alex smith lookalike then
22:44:03  ais523, yeah but it is not a sensible way to handle it
22:44:10  IMO choosing deny should deny cookies for all indirect loads from the page, until the next refresh
22:44:18  I think I should read English As She Is Spoke sometime
22:44:23  or make it explicit with a "deny for session" link
22:44:32  ais523, it should collapse the stack of when I check the checkbox to always deny
22:44:33  it doesn't
22:44:40  worse is things that set cookies on a timer, though
22:44:53  (mostly that happens as the result of adverts or mouseover effects)
22:44:56  by js?
22:45:00  yeah
22:45:10  I have noscript so yeah I wouldn't notice
22:45:12  you could do it with meta refresh too but nobody does
22:45:12  also adblokc
22:45:15  adblock*
22:45:32  btw, holding down alt-d works and is a huge improvement over trying to close all the windows manually
22:45:50  especially as they have to be closed in the correct order, and all overlap each other on the same point of the screen
22:46:13  ah
22:47:00 * kmc is plotting to connect an Arduino to his gas stove; what could go wrong?
22:47:56  uh uh
22:48:02   It is not clear, for instance, whether one should allow a Thue-Morse sequence in the initial conditions. In most cases, it should nevertheless be fairly obvious whether something should be considered a valid encoding for a universal system. But in general there is no firmly established criterion.
22:48:07  that was written before the proof
22:48:09  how prophetic
22:48:11  speaking of which, I should get a raspberry pi at some point
22:48:17  kmc: obviously some kind of gas explosion
22:48:33  also, didn't people stop using gas stoves along with the introduction of electricity?
22:48:53  olsner, in Sweden, pretty much yes
22:49:03  they are still very popular in the USA
22:49:07  in UK I believe they remained popular for some time
22:49:13  and presumably US
22:49:35  they provide much faster control of temperature
22:49:42  Vorpal: they're still popular here
22:49:47  and more even heating (depending)
22:49:52  in both the house I live in and the house I'm currently online from, there's a gas stove
22:49:54  olsner, but yeah in Sweden I only seen gas stoves in places without electricity, like my grandparent's kollonistuga (whatever that is in English...)
22:50:11  they're pretty popular in houses that are gas heated anywhere
22:50:14  kmc, even more than induction furnaces?
22:50:29  ais523, the issue is I don't think there are any gas heated houses either here
22:50:49  oil sure, but gas?
22:50:49  i don't know about induction furnaces
22:51:00  err not furnace, stove
22:51:11  I was thinking about minecraft and messed it up XD
22:51:11  also i think in some areas of the US, natural gas is much cheaper than electricity for this purpose
22:51:14  Vorpal: gas is almost as important as electricity in the UK
22:51:30  ais523, I heard you even have gas lines in the streets over there
22:51:32  I think this is partly because natural gas is one of the few fossil fuels that the UK (mostly Scotland) has that are usable for heating
22:51:34  which sounds crazy
22:51:42  yes, every now and then they dig up the streets to repair them
22:51:58  just like with electricity and water and (sometimes) telephone
22:52:05  ais523, it sounds terribly unsafe to have those in the street, what happens if they leak?
22:52:12  Vorpal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotment_(gardening)
22:52:15  ais523, also where would the telephone be if not in the street?
22:52:19  olsner, right
22:52:32  Vorpal: then the leak is typically quickly detected
22:52:41  Vorpal: small leaks outside are not that much of a problem, it will dissipate and not build up concentration
22:52:44  ais523, hrrm
22:52:45  but yes, they detect and fix leaks
22:52:50  electricity is also quite dangerous if it "leaks"
22:53:08  every year a few people are electrocuted by touching streetlight poles or manhole covers that have mistakenly become electrically live
22:53:09  Vorpal: there's a chemical added to the gas so that people can smell it
22:53:16  I see
22:53:16  and pretty much everyone (well over half the population) recognises it
22:53:23  natural gas fires/explosions are a particular concern in earthquakes
22:53:27  you smell a small amount of it whenever anyone lights an oven
22:53:34  and there's an emergency number for gas leaks
22:53:43  kmc: the UK, at least, is particularly tectonically stable
22:53:55  olsner, are you sure we two didn't travel back in time somehow relative to the rest of the world?
22:54:10  Vorpal: a few years ago, there was a large gas odoriser leak
22:54:15  it caused chaos with all the false positives
22:54:25  (some sort of accident at a factory that was manufacturing gas odoriser)
22:54:46  heh
22:55:05  Vorpal: different parts of the world live in different so-called "time zones"
22:55:44  olsner, ah, that must be it
22:56:38  We had a gas oven where we lived back when I was (more of) a child.
22:57:56  There was a leak -- I forget the details -- and I was home alone, and like somewhere between six-to-eight years old, and I had been told not to go outside alone, but it was so smelly inside, due to that leak.
22:58:34  When my parents came home, they found me standing inside the apartment but with my head outside in the stairway; they asked me what on earth I was doing, and I apparently replied that it's too smelly inside.
22:59:04  From what I have been told, they were kind of relieved-shocked-scared after realizing what had been going n.
22:59:25  the punchline is that there was no gas leak, you had just been farting a tremendous amount
22:59:29  why didn't you open a window?
22:59:53  olsner: I don't know. I don't really remember any of this, I've just heard about it afterwards.
22:59:59  I wonder if that's a good or bad thing to do when you have a gas leak
23:00:00  some friends of mine (mathematicians all) lived in a house with a gas fireplace
23:00:11  they tried to turn it on but lacked necessary tools so they went at it with pliars and a blowtorch
23:00:25  they sound more like engineers
23:00:26  this created a persistent gas leak in the living room, which was noticed by all but not really deemed to be a problem
23:00:29  They were never heard from again
23:00:42 -!- sirdancealot7 has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds).
23:00:44  people tend to take gas leaks seriously around here
23:00:45  "so, how bout that gas leak?"  "yup."  "someone should do something about it"
23:00:51  oh, also they install carbon monoxide detectors
23:00:57  to allow for another common malfunction
23:01:02  did you know that konqueror supports ^u and hjkl?
23:01:03  this went on for a few weeks until one of their girlfriends visited the house and she was like "uh, you guys are idiots"
23:01:16  olsner, how very peculiar the rest of the world seems to be
23:01:27  nortti: it also will give a keybinding to as many links on the page as it can if you press and release control
23:01:30  Huh. The backlight of this (win7) laptop just turned to maximum brightness, and the (probably GPU) fan started to go on like anything. Also everything went kind of bright.
23:01:41  fizzie: sounds like some sort of total failure of ACPI
23:01:45  ais523: I know
23:01:49  ais523: 
23:01:49  fizzie, ouch
23:01:53  what?
23:02:07  ais523: Kind of weird. Perhaps I should rebootsen.
23:02:24  nortti, ^u? What does that do?
23:02:27  I'm not a vim user
23:02:39  fizzie: hmm, if ACPI is that broken, weird stuff might happen on the reboot attempt
23:02:40  and since hjkl is vi(m) I assume so is ^u
23:02:48  if you do, let us know what happened when you come back
23:02:51  Vorpal: it is emacs/shell keybindig. empties current line
23:02:58  ais523: Bringing up the "NVIDIA Control Panel" made the brightness go back to normal and the fan quiet down.
23:03:10  Vorpal: hjkl is NetHack, and control-u moves north-east as much as possible
23:03:17  fizzie: ah, so some sort of GPU reset, perhaps?
23:03:23  (Also the display flicker briefly, but I don't recall whether the control panel always does that.)
23:03:24  ais523, oh, I use numpad in nethack
23:03:38  ais523, I think NetHack took those keys from vi(m)
23:03:45  Vorpal: also I think readline (or what was it called. bash and irssi use it) has it.
23:03:56  Sgeo: indeed
23:04:18  ais523: hjkl is from ex
23:04:21  nortti: hmm, I use C-a C-k to empty the current line in Emacs (and that also works in bash, at least)
23:04:33  ais523: ^U
23:04:46  elliott: is that a capital U specifically?
23:04:58  ais523: ^u and ^U do the same
23:05:01  you never can tell with keybindings
23:05:15  ais523: 2 most significant bits of 7 bit ascii char are cut out
23:05:20  *off
23:05:48  nortti: not on /every/ possible control combo
23:05:53  although it's the case with most of them
23:06:01  C-? for instance
23:06:03  (ASCII 127)
23:06:32  ais523: it's capital U because that's how ^ works :P
23:06:44  this is why I use C- notation :P

23:07:04    '5'
23:07:08  ais523: so ^u would be 5
23:07:12  i can assure you: it is not 5

23:07:48  that makes two of us
23:08:12  And two...
23:08:15  is company
23:08:23  And ^s
23:08:30  *^r
23:08:33  what does it do?
23:08:47  ^s is xoff but I have never heard or ^r
23:10:52  In what context? in shells it's usually reverse-incremental-search
23:11:14  good to know
23:11:24  @^yarr
23:11:24  Smartly me lass
23:11:38  ?
23:11:53  FireFly, what is the usual mapping of history-search-backward and history-search-forward
23:11:59  I use my own custom mappings for them
23:12:04  so I forget what the default ones are
23:12:58  I don't know what those do
23:14:05  Vorpal: bash (according to the readline parts of the man page) doesn't have a default binding.
23:14:20  FireFly, allow you to step to the previous/next line in history that matches the currently written line. So if I write cd f (which is how I have it bound) it will go to, say "cd foo" then on PgUp again to "cd faa" or whatever was done before that
23:14:26  it is super-usefuk
23:14:29  useful*
23:14:55  I just do that with reverse-incremental-search, generally.
23:15:06  Possibly due to laziness.
23:15:15  fizzie, how does that work, it isn't something I ever used
23:15:50  You type ^r first, and then 'cd f'; it will keep incrementally-updating the search result.
23:15:58  And then you can keep tapping ^r to go further back.
23:16:08  and if you went to far, what do you hit then
23:16:13  to go forward one step
23:16:14 -!- sirdancealot7 has joined.
23:16:17  I forget exactly what. :p
23:16:20  ah
23:16:48  fizzie, I have to say that history-search-backward/history-search-forward seems like slightly less typing to me
23:17:55  Vorpal: if you do "foo", would it match e.g. "cd foo"?
23:18:04  "cd f" has the same number of typed characters as "cd f".
23:18:15  Vorpal, ISTR zsh bound going forward to whatever Emacs uses for going down a line.
23:18:17  FireFly, no it is bound to the start of the line
23:18:24  Phantom_Hoover, I'm a bash user
23:18:40  Vorpal: I'm pretty sure ^R would match that
23:18:44  Maybe it was C-s.
23:18:53  The incremental search matches anywhere in the line, yes.
23:18:54  FireFly, right, and if I don't want that?
23:19:03  It's sometimes useful; sometimes not.
23:19:19  does C-r support regexp?
23:19:26  so you just put ^ in front or such
23:19:39   You type ^r first, and then 'cd f'; it will keep incrementally-updating the search result.
23:19:42  come on, it's ^R
23:19:45  they are not the same :(
23:20:00  Vorpal: the zsh version does, apparently
23:20:06  elliott, so it is C-Shift-r?
23:20:18  bloody zsh
23:20:21  Vorpal: no
23:20:27  No, ^R is C-r.
23:20:28  ^R means press control and the R key
23:20:29  Logical.
23:20:32  fizzie, right
23:20:34  Vorpal: ^X means X - '@'
23:20:37  er, 'X' - '@'
23:20:40  elliott, and what does ^r mean?
23:20:41  because that's what a terminal sends
23:20:45  ^r means something nonsense
23:20:48  > chr (ord 'r' - ord '@')
23:20:50    '2'
23:20:51  ^r is 2
23:21:13  elliott, how do you type ^r?
23:21:15  The "UI" of the search is also sometimes somehow iffy; you can keep typing things, but if there are no matches, the input doesn't show up; yet it "exists" in that backspace removes it before it affects the visible part.
23:21:20  Vorpal: by pressing 2
23:21:27  elliott, right
23:22:11  fizzie, well I guess it is nice having both that and the history search style I'm in love with, for different occasions
23:23:26  Bash/readline incremental search doesn't seem to support anything else than just plain (unanchored) string match, sadly.
23:23:29  my recommendation for your inputrc if pgup/pgdown is easy to reach on your keyboard (as it is on my laptop):
23:23:30  "\e[5~": history-search-backward
23:23:30  "\e[6~": history-search-forward
23:25:14  I keep using "sprunge" to pull up a "curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us" command line, because I somehow can't seem to manage to be bothered to make an alias/a script for that. I do it so often that it always seems to be in the history; the fact that I can reach it with that is probably the reason I still haven't managed to make that command.
23:26:04  (It's a vicious circle.)
23:26:13  fizzie: i am the exact same
23:26:14  wow
23:26:19  i never thought i'd meet someone with that problem
23:26:48  Weird. I've just had ~/local/bin/sprunge for ages.
23:27:08  fizzie: try shell that doesn't save history in a file :P
23:27:10  Though, I also have ~/local/bin so....
23:27:11  i just have an alias
23:27:13  I've had that at home for quite a while, it's just the workstation at wrk that's the problematical one.
23:27:13  well, had
23:27:20  elliott, when was the last time you actually met someone
23:27:48  And I do have a ~/local/bin/ at work, it's not like I couldn't just type "scp ~/local/bin/sprunge james:local/bin/" at home once and get it done.

23:27:56  hey now atriq that's below the belt

23:28:04  yes

00:43:44  shachaf, well, SwiftKey is kind of nice...
00:43:56  shachaf, but sure the physical size of the screen and keyboard are smaller
00:44:01  I understand there are quite "general" betting sites where you can bet on very many things. Possibly not on Vorpal's phone in particular, but phones in general.
00:44:22  I don't think I would bet money on anything
00:44:24  you can probably bet on anything with a browser
00:44:24  I intend to make the computer, and one of the things I intend to make it is not to be overcomplicated, while still allowing it to run at reasonable performance and other features.
00:44:30  Vorpal: But the resolution is higher!
00:44:39  shachaf, yes
00:44:51  shachaf, that old computer was 800x600, my phone is 720p
00:45:34  longbets.org, for example; though the topics must be "societally or scientifically important".
00:46:11  my phone has more CPU cores, more RAM, faster CPU, more non-volatile storage and a battery that lasts longer 
00:46:12  longcats.org
00:46:13  This computer is codenamed POWERXY but it probably won't be its actual name.
00:46:14  zzo38: what is overcomplicated or reasonable performance?
00:46:23  "What kind of a phone Vorpal has in 12 years" might not be societally important. Arguably.
00:47:05  I wonder if societally is actually a word
00:47:08  fizzie, well the question could be generalised to "the current generation of PC gaming computers" and "the state of the art smartphones in 12 years time"
00:47:12  nortti: Like, I will omit some things not needed such as the overly complicated x86 or ARM9 (ARM2 is sufficient, I think), omit USB, omit HDMI, omit too much complicated built-in software (you can load it externally instead), etc
00:48:00  nortti, oh god you got zzo started on a rant
00:48:26  http://longbets.org/601/
00:48:29  best bet
00:49:32  Other than those things, other features I plan is a complete manual (including internals and pinouts), open source hardware as much as possible and open source software 100% (for built-in software; external software may or may not be), jumpers on mainboard, and currently the plan of the external ports:
00:50:55  Why isn't http://longbets.org/291/ ruled on yet? 
00:51:07  * CD/DVD (read-only)  * Expansion port  * Audio in and out, stereo for both  * Composite video out  * Component video out  * Digi-RGB out  * 4x 33SS input port  * Compact flash  * Panel with display and buttons
00:51:22  * Infrared receiver
00:51:27  fizzie: probably because longbets seems sort of dead
00:51:29  "If the US has not descended into Open Despotism, Pseudo-Democracy or Anarchy before the incumbent party holds its 2012 Presidential nominating convention, the challenger wins."
00:51:41  Given that they had the elections already, I assume that happened too? 
00:51:50  fizzie: well you could argue pseudo-democracy
00:51:53  just sayin'
00:52:07  Maybe you should bet on your phone in a casino
00:52:17  Instead of on the computer.
00:52:24  elliott: "Descended" suggests "a different status from what existed at the time the bet was made".
00:52:27  The definition used there did involve not using a conventional nominating convention, though.
00:52:27  I'm not a betting person
00:52:52  I wonder how's it going with their clock, though.
00:53:02  In government form, the US is utterly identical to that of 2007 US.
00:53:17  except for different people?

00:57:38  Built-in software might include:  * Date/time  * Filesystem drivers  * Keyboard translation  * Play audio CD  * Forth interpreter  * BASIC interpreter  * TCP/IP driver  * DVI to PCL        and all of it runs on a single-tasking operating system.
00:58:00  O, and it will also include a copy of the printed manual on the hard drive in case you want to print another copy.
00:58:25  At least to me this seem reasonable; maybe you it isn't I don't know!!!
00:59:41  zzo38, no SCTP support? No USB?
00:59:50  pretty useless and dated system that
01:00:10  also who uses CDs any more
01:01:18  Vorpal: Correct; no USB. I think many complication and problem with USB, so instead it is 33SS (my own much simpler protocol, which will be documented; it has other advantages too such as self-cleaning). The DVD drive can load CD too, so even if you don't use CD, it has CD.
01:02:15  zzo38, I don't care about DVD or CD, I do however require USB
01:02:21  clearly not a computer for me that
01:02:50  If you don't want DVD/CD then unscrew and open it and remove the optical drive.
01:03:34  won't give me USB
01:03:41  Vorpal: obviously you don't want USB
01:03:53  zzo38, also what GPU will you use?
01:04:06  zzo38, something with OpenGL 4 support I hope?
01:04:09 -!- ais523 has quit.
01:04:14  Vorpal: Well, but it will make a space that you can add a USB or whatever.
01:04:43  zzo38, also how many cores will the CPU have?
01:04:53  oh and infrared? What is the point of IRDA?
01:05:11  bluetooth and wifi are much more useful
01:05:26  no ethernet mentioned either?
01:06:03  I wish more smartphones would ship with built-in FM transmitter
01:06:08  Vorpal: I intend to design my own PPU and APU with its own instruction sets; there is no need to compile C programs on the PPU/APU; but the CPU is a slight variant of ARM2 so you can compile C programs on it. Currently, design for CPU with single core but that might change. Infrared is for remote control. But I just forgot to mention ethernet.
01:06:46  zzo38, PPU? Also the Arithmetic Processing Unit (APU) is a part of the CPU, no?
01:06:47  The number of cores of CPU and that stuff depend much on things I currently do not know.
01:07:02  Vorpal: In this case, PPU means Picture Processing Unit, and APU is Audio Processing Unit.
01:07:02  FireFly, mine has that, it is kind of bad though. My old nokia had a less noisy one

01:08:14 -!- MoALTz_ has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
01:08:21  In what way would a PPU differ from a GPU?
01:08:55  FireFly: The name, I guess.
01:09:34  The CPU is I intend to make a few modifications to the OpenCores Amber core, so GCC (but not LLVM) can compile programs targeting it, and it runs faster than an actual ARM2.
01:11:02  I have a FM transmitter in this phone, but I haven't managed to test it even once.
01:11:03  LLVM only support ARM7 and newer but it may be able to be modified to support ARM2 as well.
01:11:21  Reportedly the signal strength is quite frequency-dependent, due to physics.
01:11:54  Wifi and bluetooth can be useful although may be connected using the expansion port. However, this is just plan so far so maybe it will have built-in, but if it does have such thing built-in it will have a hardware switch to disable them.
01:12:09   I wish more smartphones would ship with built-in FM transmitter <-- oh I thought that was a typo for "reciever"
01:12:13  then I guess I don't have one
01:12:35  receiver* even
01:12:47  I didn't know there were phones with transmitters for that
01:12:52  Nokia N900 has a transmitter--it's useful for streaming music to the car radio
01:12:55  I haven't tried the receiver either. :p
01:13:14  FireFly, why not just use bluetooth for that? Or a cable
01:13:17  This is a N900; but there are other phones with the feature.
01:13:27  FireFly, the car I'm currently driving most support both
01:13:35  Requires no support from the car radio is the point, of course.
01:13:40  well okay
01:13:44  Vorpal: because most car radios I've used only support CD and FM
01:13:47  fizzie, but modern cars have that
01:13:56  But don't you have AM radio too?
01:14:01  Eh, probably
01:14:02  FireFly, modern Volvo V70 has that feature at least
01:14:18  Quite a few people still drive cars that are not terribly modern.
01:14:25  well yeah
01:14:33  it is awesome to drive modern cars though
01:15:21  The N900 also has a consumer-IR transmitter; lirc can use it to drive just about anything with an IR remote control, or so I believe. Haven't managed to bother trying it out either.
01:16:18  heh
01:16:20  ISTR there was a program to run through the "power off" key signals of the whole lirc remote db, so that if there's an annoying TV screen in a public place, you can just turn it off.
01:16:46  fizzie, very nice
01:17:00  There is some devices for such thing, however I may prefer to mute the TV
01:17:14  should be easy too
01:17:27  Yes, the apps might support that too.
01:17:32  Since usually only I don't like it because of the noise, and other people may still want to watch TV.
01:17:36  I never used the IR feature a lot
01:18:39  There's a single IR-controllable device here at home, so it's not terribly useful. (Well, possibly a second one too, though not in use.)
01:19:31  People with piles of them that don't want to buy a separate multi-purpose remote might find it more useful.
01:20:37  I think I have 3 such deviceds
01:20:39  At my house we have two TV sets, one DVD player, one DVD/VCR combination, which are currently connected and which use infrared. (There may be others which are not currently connected so are not in use.)
01:20:40  devices*
01:20:42  not a lot anyway
01:21:04  one TV, one DVD/VHS and one radio with IR based remotes
01:22:26  There's a receiver/amplifier kind of thing, and that's about it. (There's also a DVB-T USB stick with an IR receiver, but it's not in use since we stopped paying the TV access fee; next year it switches to a tax-funded scheme so maybe we'll dig it out though.)
01:22:51  In any case the stick'd be in a computer, and you don't need IR to speak to one of those. (Usually.)
01:24:23  It came with one of those really cheap-looking tiny plastic no-feel-to-the-buttons remotes.
01:25:22  heh
01:25:28  (But it did work with lirc so it's possible to use anything else too. Assuming close-enough carrier frequency anyway.)
01:25:36  The DVD/VCR can playback and record on both drives, even simultaneously. If we want to record a TV show to be able to watch later we will use the VHS, but if we want to keep it or transfer it to computer will use DVD. Once my brother want to put a recording of Super Smash Bros. Brawl so we recorded it on a DVD video and then copy to his computer.
01:28:25  (The consumer IR receivers tend to have some kind of hardware filter so that they sense only a particular carrier freq (typically 38 kHz) signal, presumably to make them less suspectible to noise from other IR sources.
01:28:58  Sunlight is an IR source, so stuff that doesn't discriminate can have problems with that
01:30:18  Yeah; it's just not always the same frequency, so there can be (signal strength) problems mixing remotes and receivers.
01:31:06  just make the remote blast on a lot of frequencies?
01:31:38  But both the remotes and the receivers are fixed-frequency devices, is the problem.
01:32:06  Certainly if you're making a multifunction remote, that's a possibility.
01:32:43  But not for repurposing an old remote for device X, while having a receiver scavenged from device Y.
01:32:43  indeed
01:32:55  oh well, good night
01:33:26  I remember making a lirc remote file for a really old TV remote I had from a smoke-came-out-years-earlier TV set; happened to work out well enough with whatever I was using as the receiver.

03:19:37  I think it is actually related to a Haskell type like (x -> Zero)
03:19:40  Arc_Koen: If rather than everything else you had a specific value in mind, it'd be easier
03:20:00  If you are treated the type as arithmetic/logic instead of type.
03:20:01  0 -> -1   you could use (x+1)*(-1)

03:22:31  FreeFull, yes; that's discontinuous.
03:22:37  quintopia: Integers have half values now?
03:22:41  FreeFull: yeah I just want     0 -> something nonzero   anything nonzero -> 0
03:22:55  FreeFull: yeah i should said 0.5
03:22:58  I guess the Java platform, and pretty much every application virtual machine, works that way.
03:23:20  You said it had to take integers, not that all intermediate values had to be integers
03:23:56  ((x/2)-(x*2)+1)%2   ??
03:24:07  FreeFull: the dirac delta function only has a spike at a particular value, though it's value at that point is infinite
03:24:17  ohhhh wait
03:24:18  do you mind if the nonzero value is "infinity"?
03:24:25  you're restricting this only to the integers
03:24:30  Integers don't have infinity
03:24:31  that opens it up a lot
03:24:51  Wait
03:24:54  Mine wouldn't work
03:24:57  Derp
03:25:12  (x/(x-0.5)+1)%2 works for all integer x
03:25:21  erm
03:25:25  quintopia: That only works if you've got floating point somewhere
03:25:30  oh
03:25:32  well
03:25:40  it doesnt work at 1 anyway
03:25:59  the 0.5 would need to be like...0.9
03:26:05  or
03:26:07  0.1
03:26:13  0.1 would be best
03:26:15  so yeah
03:26:19  no it wouldn't
03:26:19  different ideas...
03:26:32  0.125 would be much better
03:26:57  lol
03:27:55  quintopia: You're also assuming that floats get rounded rather than, say, floored
03:28:12  i was assuming floor
03:28:23  but yeah

03:29:41  this maps 0 to 255/255

03:30:11  the words 'lagrange' and 'interpolation' are creeping steadily into my mind
03:30:46  I just have the graph of 1/x stuck in my head
03:31:09  But division by zero is not kosher
03:31:35  Arc_Koen: Is x signed or unsigned?
03:32:05  well in my very specific case it was a signed integer that I restrained to 0-255
03:33:08 -!- Phantom__Hoover has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
03:33:19  can we restrict this to the positive integers?

03:35:35  assuming / does truncation
03:35:44  1/(x*x+1)
03:35:46  should work
03:36:11  i dunno why i didnt think of it before
03:36:24  I was thinking the same thing, at the same time
03:36:32  its graph is the hat shape that hits 1 at zero and is between 0 and 1 everywhere else
03:36:35 * FreeFull fires up gnuplut
03:36:40  so do greatest integer to it and bam
03:37:17  in fact you can make a continous version that is arbitrarily close to what you want without truncation
03:37:26  name 1/(x^n+1)
03:37:39  Yeah
03:37:41  This should work
03:37:45  as n->infty, that goes to "zero everywhere and 1 at zero"
03:37:50  For negative numbers
03:37:52  And positive
03:38:05  Just 1/(x*x+1) if you restrict to integers
03:38:42  you mean "just 1/(x*x+1) if you use integer division"

04:36:54  For voting for Famicompo, I choose to: listen to files at random and vote them without seeing tht title, and without caring if it is original/cover, voting each song of a multisong file individually (the vote to send will be whichever is smallest, unless they are the same song with variation, in which case the largest number use instead).
04:37:26  Some comments may be written at this time, too. And then, read the titles, relisten if necessary, to write additional comments.
04:37:56  All of this is written in a local file. After is all written, to copy it to the form to send to Famicompo.

04:44:57  i told him that his excellent python quiz has fallen off the internet

04:45:08  quiz-
04:46:15  kmc: whoa, he's a real person?
04:47:13  Which Python quiz?
04:47:28  copumpkin: Sure! He was at HacBoston.
04:47:39  oh?
04:47:47  I must just suck
04:47:58  http://web.archive.org/web/20101009122154/http://web.mit.edu/rwbarton/www/python.html ?
04:49:01  kmc: For a few minutes ghc-core used Spawn.
04:49:41  i bet i could do that quiz
04:50:26  try it
04:50:33  I like #3
04:51:35  Oh, the quiz wasn't lost forever.
04:54:56  shachaf: heh
04:55:13  i like #4
04:56:14  ahahahaha
05:00:58  I like #3 just because most people see it and think the answer is one of two things, and it turns out to be neither
05:03:51  heh
05:04:01  I don't even understand what the third line means
05:04:55  It's a generator comprehension
05:05:04  Think along the lines of a Haskell list comprehension
05:05:24  ahahahahahahahahahahah
05:05:45  that's hilarious
05:05:49  why does it do that?
05:05:49  I'm curious, what's so hilarious
05:06:19  The snake oil programming language.
05:06:23  Well, knowing that there's a trick, I had some idea of what it was, but yeah, that's surprising
05:06:59  31... huh?
05:07:52  Well, generator expressions make generators which are lazy, so that's part of it
05:08:19  i would understand 11, I would understand 33, I do not understand 31.
05:08:32  Oh
05:08:33  i.e. I am the rube copumpkin prophesied
05:08:59  I think people would have guessed either 11 or 21
05:09:04  it only captures one of the two variables
05:09:12  I've had people argue that it's expected behavior, too
05:09:14  but it's bullshit
05:09:16  What, why.
05:09:19  guys!!
05:09:20  no spoilers
05:09:23  i wanted to do that quiz
05:09:28  now i never can
05:09:28  ever
05:09:28  you'd fail
05:09:29  The answer is bullshit.  Spoil'd
05:09:31  it makes no sense at all
05:09:32  copumpkin: no im good
05:09:34  im super good
05:09:37  But seriously, what the fuck?
05:09:57 * Sgeo suddenly is uncomfortable with Python
05:10:07  How do you know which variable is captured?
05:11:28  #1 makes no sense
05:11:29  It's just the first, huh.  Crappy implementation.
05:12:01 -!- Frooxius has quit (Read error: Operation timed out).
05:12:19  #1 is at least consistent.  No fresh binding for the loop.
05:12:47  Ah
05:13:05  all the x's in the lambdas are the same x, which ends at 99.
05:13:16  Bike, you mean i?
05:13:20  er, yes.
05:13:34  I corrected Bike! I can die happy now!
05:13:39  Though I have no idea how you'd rebind a variable in Python.
05:14:06  putting in an i=i doesn't work...
05:14:51  Sgeo: #1 is the same thing that would happen in Scheme
05:14:58  if you faithfully translated the mutating 'for' loop
05:15:06  closures close over mutable variables, not over values
05:15:08  in both Scheme and Python
05:15:52  In Python you can't mutate those variables, though.
05:15:52  Going to go see what Clojure does
05:15:56  as for "rebind a variable", there isn't a "let" construct
05:16:12  I know that much.
05:16:23  you introduce a new scope with a new function
05:16:38  oh, so just hack it with a lambda
05:16:43  so i think (lambda i: lambda x: x+i)(i) would do the expected thing
05:16:47  but is not very pythonic
05:17:00  The C++ thingy on IdeOne does Paredit but Clojure doesn't
05:17:19  yep, that works.
05:20:34  http://ideone.com/ErNJ7R
05:21:47  0 days since Sgeo last mentioned Clojure in #esoteric
05:21:53  so, what would you do to make it idiomatic, in the totally reasonable use-case of "I need an array of a hundred indexed adders"
05:22:06  An array of a hundred indexed adders isn't Pythonic, Bike.
05:22:22  You'd probably use objects or something.
05:22:41  Hmm, I'm not entirely sure what the most idiomatic thing to do would be
05:22:42  you don't say
05:22:53  Could use loop/recur, I guess
05:22:59  To make a vector
05:23:11  Bike: probably def adder(i): return lambda x: x + i
05:23:21  i've done this before anyway
05:23:29  how boringly reasonable
05:23:48  In Clojure, arrays aren't idiomatic, vectors are preferred
05:24:13  what's the difference
05:24:19  Vectors are immutable
05:24:35  And have different performance characteristics, I think
05:24:55  sometimes I have a transient wish that just for a brief moment words would mean things...
05:25:21  The word "functor" is always fun.
05:25:42  Each language that has "functors" has an entirely different and unrelated idea of what a functor is
05:26:18  also, how do you not know how to initialize a vector?  that must be pretty basic
05:28:17  http://ideone.com/TwDf2E
05:28:21  This should be idiomatic
05:28:23  Could also map
05:28:38  Hmm, I have no real use for that vec
05:29:16  the problem isn't really something you'd want to actually do, it's just to demonstrate how a part of python works
05:29:17  Bike, because I derped
05:43:29  Apparently my recent Facebook post was "aggressive".
05:44:09  Because simply saying "I am atheist" is... In some way an affront to people?
05:44:42  Someone said that in private?

19:52:06  huh, Raspberry Pi lacks an RTC? I guess that means it won't keep time when off? Weird design choice
19:52:18  Can you add one?
19:52:36  There are some projects adding one, I believe.
19:52:44  It certainly has enough interfacing options for that.
19:52:59  And I suppose they just didn't want to bother adding a battery on the thing, those are so inelegant.
19:52:59  don't know, I'm just looking at the specs atm, I'm considering getting a Raspberry Pi
19:53:13  I've got one, and I use it for absolutely nothing.
19:53:23  Also got it like week before they did that 512M upgrade.
19:53:28  I'm wondering if it can start on power connected, after a power outage or such
19:53:29  hm
19:53:40  It doesn't have an "off" mode.
19:53:43  ah
19:53:44  It's on if it gets power.
19:54:04  so when you shut it down it displays "please turn off the power now" or such?
19:54:12  how much did it cost btw?
19:54:32  IIRC shutdown -h just shut the HDMI down, so it didn't display anything.
19:54:38  heh
19:54:49  fizzie, well how do you unmount stuff before pulling the power?
19:54:58  will shutdown -h do that at least?
19:55:09  Sure, it'll do that before halting.
19:55:13  right
19:55:33  It just doesn't "turn off", since it doesn't have a power switch.
19:55:38  anyway I figured out that I need a matching SD card (that looks complicated to find), a HDMI->DVI converter and a power supply for it to be usable for me
19:55:56  possibly a case would be a good idea
19:56:13  And it cost that official price, $35, plus some amount of money for the delivery. I forget exactly. It was from Element 14, anyway, and it was a friend ordering a bunch, so I wasn't directly involved in the order.
19:56:25  I do have a use case for it though, but one that require more than a 4 GB SD card by far. 16 or 32 probably
19:56:40  Should be available in a local store
19:56:44  I just used a scrappy no-name 2G SD card that I had from Italy somewhere.
19:56:49  I got bored and my computer was refusing to connect to the internet, so I started writing a brainfuck interpreter
19:57:14  (Bought it when running out of storage taking photos thereabouts.)
19:57:17  FireFly, those parts? Probably, maybe not the SD card though, it seems it is is very picky with series
19:57:52  I just plugged in a card I had at home, and it worked like a charm
19:58:04  So did I.
19:58:07  anyway how does linux keep the system time with no RTC?
19:58:16  I'm curious now
19:58:19  In fact I think I run it on a microSD card through a converter
19:58:21  Uh.. it's not like x86 Linux would use the RTC for timekeeping either.
19:58:35  fizzie, sure but what does it use instead?
19:59:06  I think it can pretty much use anything that ticks
19:59:07  I just know the x86 timer sources, and I've forgotten even those; there was at least TSC and HPET timers.
19:59:09  CPU frequency is not all that stable even when you don't do dynamic frequency stuff
19:59:21  TSC on modern x86 CPUs is invariant.
19:59:25  ah nice
19:59:28  (Of frequency.)
19:59:38  HPET is pretty nice as well
20:01:58  Vorpal: http://www.webhallen.com/se-sv/hardvara/159735-sandisk_secure_digital_ultra_16gb seems to work well: http://www.google.com/search?q=raspberry%20pi%20sdsdu-016g-u46
20:02:12  hm
20:02:18   Is there a version with CompactFlash?
20:02:25  As for power, I got my power out of the N900's USB charger so far.
20:02:39  fizzie, yeah I kind of use my USB charger for my phone
20:02:46  and my old phones did not do charging by USB
20:02:53  I don't use it all the time, though.
20:03:14  The plan for my possible Pi would require it being on constantly
20:03:37  For more permanent use I was thinking of getting a suitable powered USB hub; the wiki lists quite a few models that reportedly can do the "provides power for Pi as well as a USB hub for it" thing.
20:03:46  But that's still on the TODO list.
20:04:06  fizzie, wait, can it use power over the USB-A ports?
20:04:11  or what do you mean
20:04:24  No, but you can use one of the USB hub's outgoing ports to provide power to the Pi.
20:04:31  ah
20:04:50  (Okay, technically speaking I believe you can hack it to accept "feedback" power via the USB-A ports too, but that'd be a real kludge.)
20:04:51  won't it only provide 100 mA unless the device asks for more?
20:05:16  I thought the power port didn't have any pins except the power ones connected
20:05:49  It doesn't. But if it's a USB-BC dedicated charging port, it should push out something like 1A or more by default.
20:06:02  also, how fast cards would be useful in the pi, what can the host controller deal with
20:06:09  would a class 10 card be overkill?
20:06:30  And apparently many hubs are perfectly willing to provide power out to ports that are disconnect w.r.t. D+/D-.
20:06:41  heh
20:06:42  I was thinking I'll just read the wiki and pick some model that's known to work well.
20:07:08  anyway what would a HDMI->DVI converter cost, I have no monitors with HDMI
20:07:29  and I won't use the display past initial setup and possible debugging
20:07:39  HDMI-DVI-cables seem to cost about the same as HDMI-HDMI and DVI-DVI cables.
20:07:47  hm
20:07:57  Don't know about adapters, but they should be really cheap according to logic.
20:08:59  Sadly, logic is not always a reliable source when it comes to hardware prices.
20:09:09  indeed
20:09:22  I'm wondering it it requires an active cable
20:09:27  It doesn't.
20:09:34  might be DP->HDMI or DP->DVI that does then
20:09:47  HDMI is just DVI minus the analog and dual-link parts, plus something about digital audio.
20:10:13  DP-to-DVI/HDMI may need an active cable, depending on the source.
20:10:56  I believe many graphics cards have DP connectors that you can connect to DVI/HDMI via passive adapters, since they can provide the TMDS signal over the DP pins.
20:11:44  But there's things like EyeFinity cards with 3*DP where you can connect up to two DVI devices with passive adapters, but the third needs an active one, because the card runs out of suitable clock generators for TMDS output.
20:12:12  (The active DP-to-DVI devices cost an absurd amount of money when I was looking at them.)
20:12:37  fizzie, hm I have an AMD card that can drive up to 4 monitors iirc, but it has like 2 DVI (one DVI-I one DVI-D), one DP and one HDMI
20:12:40  or something weird like that
20:13:22  It sounds somewhat probable that the DP port couldn't drive a passive-adaptor DVI, then, given how many DVI-ish outputs it already has.
20:13:38  well, I only use a single DVI output currently
20:14:19  "Dual-mode DisplayPort (also known as DisplayPort++[26]) can directly emit single-link HDMI and DVI signals using a simple passive adapter that adjusts for the lower voltages required by DisplayPort."
20:14:33  Gimp in Ubuntu Unity is annoying
20:14:41  Apparently they've invented a special logo for that, a DP with a ++ in it.
20:16:07  atriq, oh?
20:16:27  fizzie, heh, well then I know my laptop would need an active adapter too

20:18:52  that they even released a version without ethernet is confusing to me
20:19:23  It's officially an educational tool, you don't necessarily need networking for that.
20:19:31  really, is it?
20:19:48  I thought it was just a super-awesome product
20:20:06  is this olpc or something like that
20:20:11  Vorpal, you can't go straight from the toolbox to a file menu thingy
20:20:12  coppro, RPi
20:20:19  ah
20:20:23  atriq, hm?
20:20:40  oh gimp
20:20:41  right
20:20:57  atriq, yeah that is stupid
20:21:11  蓬Π
20:21:28  Because it only shows the thingies for the window you're on, and the toolbox is a separate window
20:22:06  fizzie, so total cost is something like $70 or so when shipping, SD card, power supply, monitor cable, case and so on are included
20:22:23  not quite as cheap suddenly
20:22:52  atriq, there are two issues here: 1) unity is terrible 2) gimp has a terrible GUI on *anything*
20:23:25  Vorpal: "-- developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of stimulating the teaching of basic computer science in schools."
20:23:35  Gimp's bad GUI is a tradition
20:23:37  All their public statements have emphasized the education thing.
20:23:41  If you want a better GUI, use something else
20:25:01  Vorpal: They e.g. didn't include the MPEG2 hw-decode license with the board officially because they didn't have any idea people would actually buy Pi's for media-center use.
20:25:45  fizzie, hah
20:26:01  fizzie, how could they have missed that angle?
20:26:16 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined.
20:26:53  Vorpal: I suppose they were just so single-mindedly doing the "cheap computer for schools" angle.
20:27:00  heh
20:27:26  One of the stated reasons for the 512M bump was the unexpected uses people kept putting the thing to.
20:27:52  well, I would manage on 256M but 512M is certainly a lot nicer
20:28:57  hrrm, given the lack of RTC, won't it try to fsck on every boot, at least if you use ext3/4
20:29:07  fizzie, oh and what filesystem do you use on the card?
20:29:51  It's fixed-fraction shared with the GPU, so it's generally something closer to 192M or 224M of RAM for the system.
20:30:20  ouch
20:30:28  And I just put whatever raspbian-installer put there, which was probably ext3; really, since I don't have any use case for it yet, I just put something in there to see that it boots.
20:30:40  fizzie, fixed fraction? can you configure it with a boot flag?
20:30:57  fizzie, irc bouncer obviously
20:31:11  Yes, it's configurable but not changeable at "runtime".
20:31:16  ah
20:31:48  so basically after the initial setup I would configure it to give me a minimum sized display in case I need to debug something, since it will be headless for my use case
20:31:50  And the lowest supported for the GPU even for a headless system is 16M, I believe.
20:32:19  fizzie, anyway use case ideas: irc bouncer, simple server to ssh into and initiate WOL from to wake up your beefy computer at home
20:32:57  I have my 4*gigE mini-ITX Atom box for IRC/ssh-into/DNS/router/etc. box, though.
20:33:28  that is probably using several times as much power as the RPi though
20:33:33  Admittedly RPi would use less juice, but getting four network holes into it sounds nontrivial.
20:33:42  Yes, well, kWh's aren't *that* expensive.
20:33:46  (Yet.)
20:33:55  fizzie, well I have a switch anyway so...
20:34:17  A switch won't firewall anything.
20:34:45  well duh, I have an ADSL modem with router and such built in as well
20:35:15  anyway what about VLAN? That would work no?
20:35:50  you would configure the switch to send everything external to the RPi, let it do the firewall, and resend on a different VLAN tag
20:36:10  (however at this point your switch is so expensive it isn't worth it any more)
20:36:31  I don't have switches that manageable, and anyway I doubt you could push terribly much traffic over the RPi's USB-100baseT-ethernet hole.
20:36:36  fizzie, funny thing, my desktop intel express pro gbit whatever networking thingy actually support VLAN
20:36:54  fizzie, wait, USB? How does USB come into it?
20:37:05  RPi's Ethernet is connected over USB.
20:37:11  ouch
20:37:15  what a weird design
20:37:26  It's part of the combined USB hub / Ethernet chip from SMC.
20:37:52  heh
20:38:04  yeah I thought it was just two features of the same chip
20:38:24  rather than the ethernet being visible over the USB controller
20:38:35  The A model has a single USB port (on the ARM SoC); the B model has the SMC chip permanently wired into that, and the SMC provides a USB hub with three logical ports, one of which is directly connected to the USB-Ethernet thing.
20:39:27  heh
20:39:38  so is that USB 2.0?
20:39:45  I think so, yes.
20:39:59  well, can't expect USB 3 from that thing
20:40:33  The ARMv6 thing is also a bit of a shame; no NEON or anything.
20:40:52  true, maybe I should just hold off to a future generation of the RPi
20:41:45  Re VLAN, I am under the impression that most Linux drivers support 802.1q VLANs more or less well; certainly it works well enough for me. (I've got a VLAN for making sure traffic from the Atom box to the webserver laptop doesn't accidentally leak over the VDSL2 pipe, since I don't trust that ZTE piece of crap to do anything correctly.)
20:42:23  heh
20:42:48  fizzie, how do you set up VLAN under Linux btw?
20:43:22  iptables?
20:43:44  iproute2's "ip" tool can do it; there was also something earlier, 'vconfig' or something like that.
20:43:59  is it well documented for ip?
20:44:05  And distro-specific things; I think e.g. Debian's "/etc/network/interfaces" thing has syntax for it.
20:45:05  It's not terribly complicated, at least.  ip link add link realif0 name realif0.42 type vlan id 42  and then you can configure the realif0.42 interface and everything sent there will be 802.1q-tagged with the tag 42 and sent over realif0.
20:45:21  (And everything thus tagged coming in from realif0 will instead appear in that interface.)
20:45:34  ah
20:45:49  how did that help with your atom box though?
20:46:13  Well. The network setup here is such that there's a VDSL2 box in bridging mode, connected to a switch with the server-laptop and the Atom box; the Atom box then isolates that DMZ area from the other network holes it has, namely LAN, wifi and the NAS box.
20:46:50  ah
20:46:59  I was worried that even with local 10/8 range IPs, internal traffic between the server-laptop and whatever's behind the Atom box would leak over the bridging VDSL2 box, since it's such a stupid device.
20:47:22  but does the switch handle the VLAN tags then?
20:47:27  or how does VLAN help
20:47:51  I made all that go over a VLAN, and configured the VDSL2 box's really poor filtering things never pass any 802.1Q traffic over the DSL link.
20:48:06  Okay, I still need to trust it to do that right, but at least I've made an attempt.
20:48:07  heh
20:48:24  why not put everything behind the atom box instead?
20:48:35  and have it DMZ to the server laptop
20:49:03  and put the NAS and the LAN on a common switch on the inside
20:49:23  I guess that'd be a possible setup; but it sounds like it'd need some slightly trickier configuration, since the server laptop needs to acquire a public IP over DHCP from the ISP.
20:49:42  oh you have multiple IPs?
20:49:43  nice
20:49:47  Okay, "needs" is in quotes.
20:49:56  They officially allow up to 5 public DHCP ips.
20:50:01  heh
20:50:22  fizzie, since it is a laptop couldn't you just access it over wifi instead?
20:50:52  I... suppose. Honestly, enabling wifi on it hasn't really even occurred to me. I'm not sure it has working wifi.
20:51:00  ah
20:51:11  It's kind of old, but not *that* old, so... well, it could go either way.
20:51:18  you could use BT maybe XD
20:51:25  (It's a Pentium-M 1.5 GHz thing.)
20:51:33  sure, should have wifi
20:51:37  or could at least
20:53:21  fizzie, how is the GPIO exposed to user space on the RPi?
20:53:31  something in /dev?
20:55:24  I forget exactly; it's some kind of a standard Linux approach to such things.
20:57:00  hm what real time versions of linux are there...
20:58:31  https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/pinctrl.txt -- it drops into this infrastructure, I believe.
20:58:47  (And then you can use standard things to run I2C or whatever over the pins.)
20:59:43  hm
20:59:54  Doesn't seem to talk much about the userspace side of accessing these.
21:00:16  fizzie, well sure, it isn't exactly difficult to do I2C or whatever over plain GPIO by yourself. I have done that on AVR
21:00:38  Probably not, but it's nice not to reinvent wheels so much, sometimes.
21:01:03  Also, server-laptop's lspci doesn't list anything too wifi-ish, though I did learn something I didn't know before, namely that there's a firewire port on it somewhere.
21:01:19 -!- monqy has joined.
21:02:34  So if I had a suitable cable, I could run that firewire networking... except that the Atom board probably doesn't do firewire.
21:02:54  I don't think I've ever managed to actually use a firewire-connected anything at home.
21:04:01  I used firewire networking at one point to a desktop with only 100 mbit ethernet
21:04:07  sped up file transfer a lot
21:04:32  (I was regularly transferring several GB off it at that point
21:04:33  )(
21:04:39  s/($//
21:04:52  We had two firewire-capable laptops with us in Belgium, and only one Ethernet cable for the hotel's Interweb connection.
21:05:08  The wifi was a bit iffy in the room, so had to share the network connection over ad-hoc wifi.
21:05:27  Since we didn't have a firewire cable for using that instead.
21:06:05  heh
21:06:09  Not that the hotel's intertubes connection was fast enough for it to matter all that much.
21:06:29  firewire is getting kind of rare these days :/
21:06:54 -!- Nisstyre-laptop has joined.
21:07:05  How's it going with Thunderbolt? Still anywhere except some iComputers? 
21:09:20  This laptop's FireWire port is some kind of a "mini" connector.
21:09:42  same here
21:09:58  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:FireWire_cables.jpg the leftmost one.
21:10:08  same on this laptop
21:10:12  I have a vague feeling the iBook had a full-size port.
21:10:21  lucky for me I have a mini-to-fullsize cable
21:13:47  It's kind of funny that the S/PDIF optical-out on this thing seems to be always-on, so if you put anything to the right of the laptop, it's illuminated with a red glow from one of the 3.5mm audio jacks; the one that has the dual-purpose optical-S/PDIF out in it.
21:14:03  At least it's easy to remember which jack to plug it in by just putting a hand next to them all.
21:14:06  heh
21:14:18  that is kind of silly
21:14:37  Also it goes dark if I mute the sound, which is funny.
21:16:06  At least I have seen devices with optical audio are red even when off, so I don't know why it would be dark if muted.
21:16:32  It'd probably be red even if it were sending silence; I guess the driver turns the whole transmitter off somehow.
21:18:33  fizzie, this is the server laptop?
21:18:39  I guess muting is a reasonable idea then
21:19:00  No, it was the... uh, laptop-laptop.
21:19:04  right
21:19:29 -!- epicmonkey has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
21:20:14  Though for all I know the server-laptop could do the same thing; it does have on-board audio, after all.
21:20:47  Come to think of it, it probably has built-in speakers too; I mean, it *is* a laptop.
21:21:38  Well, you never know when the capability to remotely make a noise in that room could come in handy.
21:22:41  The SparcStation 5 had a rather impressive built-in speaker; I wasn't aware of that incidentally, and got quite a scare when I thought I'd just out of curiosity try to play an audio file.
21:23:04  heh
21:23:11  fizzie, you have a sparcstation?
21:23:34  It's been in the basement for quite a while, but yes.
21:24:07  It was my main router/IRC box for several years.
21:24:59  nice
21:25:09  why did you stop using it for that?
21:25:12  the power usage?
21:25:42  That, and it has (at least) two terribly loud fans, and I slept like two metres from it while in the one-room student apartment.
21:27:37  impressive you managed that
21:28:02  These days I don't even have a monitor I could display its console on, since I got rid of the big hulking CRT.
21:28:19  wow the RPi boot via the GPU. Weird
21:28:57  I've got a "Sun 13w3 to 4xBNC" cable for it, but it needs a CRT screen that has the BNC connectors and can do combined H/V sync.
21:29:11  what do you mean "combined H/V sync"?
21:29:18  same sync for horizontal and vertical?
21:29:32  Single wire for it; I don't know how it works.
21:29:32  and it counts the number of syncs to know where it is?
21:29:45  It could be a different kind of pulse.
21:29:48  The haskell tag on Tumblr has too much rugby
21:31:17  I really don't know; anyway, the CRT I had handled it fine. According to specs, it supported separate H/V sync (5xBNC, like VGA has), combined H/V sync (4xBNC), and even sync-on-green (3xBNC) reportedly used by some workstations.
21:33:13  heh
21:33:19  fizzie, you don't have that monitor any more?
21:33:27  how will you ever use your sparcstation then?
21:33:55  It can do serial console just fine.
21:34:08  ah
21:34:12  But I suppose I shall never see the fancy font any more.
21:34:21  it had a fancy font?
21:34:35  Fancy compared to 8x16 VGA, that is.
21:34:39  ah
21:34:55  Something like 12x22 and a correspondingly higher resolution.
21:35:15  The bitmaps are of course available from the Internet.

21:36:53  elliott, bet you all the american currency I have that the sun hasn't exploded

21:37:58  I bet you a nonzero amount of american currency that the sun hasn't exploded
21:38:22  hm there is info on overclocking the RPi, but nothing on underclocking it
21:38:34  IMO it doesn't need to run at 700 MHz when the load is low
21:41:13  elliott, it's 0.01
21:41:41  Vorpal: http://wiki.stocksy.co.uk/wiki/Raspberry_Pi_Internet_in_a_box#Frequency_Scaling says that you can have it do the usual ondemand scaling at least for the [100 MHz, 700 MHz] range.
21:42:27  hm
21:42:32  (Apparently the "turbo mode" can also go downwards and not only upwards.)
21:43:37  fizzie, hm what are the steps here I wonder
21:43:46  100 MHz at a time?
21:44:44  Also, now that you spoke of the monitor issue, it's borderline possible there's also a native 13W3-connector monitor that'd work with the SparcStation in the same basement storage locker. I think the SGI Indy came with one, and I don't recall getting rid of it.
21:45:12  heh
21:45:17  you have an SGI Indy too?
21:45:18  fancy

21:46:32  ah, used, right
21:47:33  Right.
21:48:13 -!- ais523 has quit.
21:48:41  The SparcStation came from an auction by a quirky company (Damicon Kraa) specializing in Sun stuff (in those days), and I think it cost somewhere around 100 eur.
21:49:12  And the Indy was completely free, surplus from the university when they got rid of them; it used to be in a classroom.

22:51:51  Traditionally, Chinese abacii were hexadecimal.
22:52:15  zzo38: doesn't it come down to the physical gate delay of whatever system you synthesize it in?
22:52:19  They are? I didn't know that.
22:52:50  generally with FPGAs it's hard to say the max clock speed a priori because it depends on how all the gate layout and scheduling of shared interlinks goes
22:53:00  Yes, they were designed so each column represented numbers 0 through 15.
22:53:43  kmc: I would think so, but I don't know how you calculate it from that. The documentation for Amber says it is for Xilinx Spartan6, so I may use that at first until it is available to port it to a open-source FPGA, one-time-programmable FPGA, and/or ASIC.
22:54:37  Since it would have to be modified to work with different kind of FPGA anyways than Xilinx Spartan6, as far as I can tell.
22:55:32  pikhq_: I suppose you can still make up the hexadecimal abacus if you want to have one like that, though.
22:59:40  kmc: Do you know of Xilinx Spartan6 supports one-time-programmable? I would prefer to use one-time-programmable if possible, since it would not be useful to reprogram it if the FPGA is not open-source.

01:19:08  you could compete with Sgeo talking about clojure
01:20:36  Sure.
01:20:39  There is no computable set of axioms that uniquely defines the natural numbers.
01:20:58  It's just, like...
01:21:01  What's up with that?
01:21:06  lol
01:21:29  pardon..go on
01:21:57  I don't really have anything else to say.
01:25:34  what do they say, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"
01:25:48  how do you think the natural numbers feel about that
01:29:45  good tswett just keeps us aware of the wonders in this world
01:31:09  I don't believe I've hurt the natural numbers' feelings by saying this about them.
01:40:55  guess nobody likes to be calculable at all
01:42:04  But hm.  How's this as a definition of the natural numbers...
01:42:50  Zero is a natural number.  Every natural number has a successor.  The successors of distinct natural numbers are distinct.  Zero is not the successor of any natural number.  No natural numbers exist except as required by the preceding statements.
01:43:16  That is not, of course, a set of axioms in first-order logic
01:45:35  i'm having the strangest feeling of deja vu here tswett
01:46:30  Oh?
01:46:39  well
01:46:44  it's almost as if you've said the exact same thing before
01:47:33  I see.
01:47:41  it might be still true
01:48:22  but nevertheless.. what was this clojore thing? :p

01:49:03  I'm not in the mood to Python after a day of Clojure
01:49:10  But Pythoning is more important right now
01:49:47  Or, I guess I could use another language as long as it runs on the server I have access too... unfortunately, the JVM doesn't work on it. And I'd rather use a language the other people in my group have a hope of understanding.
01:53:17  python is fine
02:00:03  looks like sgeo has the lead so far
02:01:56  lead of?
02:02:13  My "axioms" almost seem well-defined, but I wonder if they're actually meaningful within any system of logic.
02:02:27  is there a contest to mention clojure the most times
02:03:03  it's clojure vs natural numbers
02:03:12  The contest is whether Sgeo can mention Clojure more times than I mention the fact that TINCSOATUDTNN.
02:03:25  oh wow you abbreviated it
02:03:30  you've established a cutesy nickname, that must give you extra points
02:03:48  so that's what tincoastsutugjhgjgjlglj is
02:04:11  It's pronounced "Tincture Sud Tune", of course.
02:04:19  sgeo should get an I'd Rather Be Clojurin' bumper sticker to keep up, maybe
02:07:45  Except no, I think it's actually pronounced "tiny student".
02:08:17   lead of?
02:08:21   tswett: would you like to tell us another 1000 times
02:08:21   you could compete with Sgeo talking about clojure
02:08:55  But yes, what type of logic would that be?  "No natural numbers exist except as required by the preceding statements."  The naive way to do that would be to say something like, for all X, if the statement "the preceding statements imply that X exists" is not necessary, then X does not exist.
02:09:17  Of course, "X exists" is not a meaningful predicate.
02:10:56  isn't it just "the smallest set satisfying these axioms"
02:11:26  Well, the problem I have with that is that now you have to define "set".
02:12:36  You were talking about what natural numbers are anyway.  What the set of natural numbers is.
02:13:04  So?  I can define a concept that happens to be a set without also defining the word "set".
02:13:43  At least, I can try to.
02:14:12  Really, we don't need to define the word "set".  But, given a collection, it would be really nice to have a definition of a subset of that collection.
02:15:21  Lessee, the thing that comes to mind is, "Subsets of a collection C are those things such that if C can be partitioned into two subsets D and E, then each subset of C corresponds to a pair (a subset of D, a subset of E)".
02:15:29  No, that's pretty much useless.
02:15:49  It doesn't say that the collection {x, y} has more than two subsets.

03:26:08  Maybe I'll be able to focus while I eat?
03:29:38  I thought of a idea, to make a type system which instead of the logic is based on being fixed, you can define your own rules for them.
03:29:53  I don't know how it would work, though (I don't even know if it works at all).
03:44:50  Another idea is some type system based on regular expressions, with a few things added, and including replacements; the units here are constructors and containers though.
03:52:22  You could then add various kind of anchors and other operators, have containers attached to constructors be ordered or disordered, have a forbidding operator, laziness operator, allow types to share constructors, have one-way, have one-use, implicit type casting automatically works, etc
03:57:05  Another strange thing perhaps is, a constructor can be defined to be idempotent or to commute with another constructor, and you could have two types with the same constructor where it commutes in one type but in the other it doesn't commute, or is idempotent in one but not the other, etc

04:05:34  I thought you had a consumer cutting laser.
04:06:04  ok fine
04:06:08  doesn't sound as cool
04:06:22  i will claim it's an industral laser because of the extreme user-unfriendliness of the control system
04:09:00  As well as defining addition of types at the type level, with this system you would also be able to define addition of values at the type level too.

05:04:30  The skill generator command is SKI and I have also added the lookup table command is LUT
05:05:44  I could implement a command for scaling the total of a list of numbers, which together with LUT could be used for implementing Goldilock's method.
05:16:23  yay zzo38 
05:16:42  how hard would it be to make it 4e
05:21:59  I don't know. This SKI command is a command which is a part of FurryScript, and the options it supports should be sufficient for D&D3.5e and for Icosahedral RPG; maybe it is sufficient for 4e as well, and if not then you can tell me what options to add.
05:22:32  comex: "I order ais523 to place a large notice on eir home page stating that eir cashing condition was inaccurate." <3
05:23:32  @context elliott
05:23:32  Unknown command, try @list
05:24:15  Options at this point are: C=cost I=increase-cost M=max-value c=count d=dice r=removal-chance v=initial-value. In addition, you specify the number of skill points in total, and the skill names are allowed to contain templates.

05:25:01  shachaf, http://agoranomic.org/
05:25:08  (Note: Page may be out of date)
05:26:25  The "C" option is used to implement cross-class skills in D&D3.5e; Icosahedral doesn't use class/cross-class skills. The "d" option makes something resembling the skill advancement in ADOM. The "c" option makes it more likely to select that skill, the "r" option makes it less likely the more it is selected, the "v" gives you skill ranks for free.
05:28:13  I forget how 4e skills work so if you know, then you might know if these options are sufficient for that purpose or not. Do you know?
05:36:50  But I do have some idea of additional options to add: mutually exclusive skills, skills spendable in other skills, multiple classes of skills, skills that lock or unlock other skills, priorities, skill levels, etc
05:45:15  quintopia: What do you think of this? Is it sufficient for what you are doing? If not, what would it need to make it sufficient for such purposes?
05:49:22  in general 4e is simpler than 3.5e
05:49:43  so if it uses templates, it should be possible just to modify the template to get it working for 4e
05:50:22  Yes I know. However it still does not answer my question completely. These "templates" are the same templates as the rest of FurryScript and may or may not be what you need.
05:51:10  What I mean is you can write a skill list with options specified, and the skill names can contain templates.
05:51:32  (These templates are separate from the options, and you can use both.)
05:52:47  I seem to remember that 4e still has class/cross-class skills but not skill ranks (Icosahedral RPG is the opposite; it has skill ranks but not class/cross-class skills).
05:54:34  But maybe I misremember it, or maybe I missed something.
05:55:25  Note that FurryScript has no skill list built-in; you still have to write the skill list yourself.
05:56:17  Do these answer any of your questions at all, or does it confuse you?

07:54:40  i gather it's some kind of stack machine
07:54:41  but
07:55:05  i don't quite understand how programs are organized and how execution order is determined and such
07:55:48  It is executed from beginning to end; blocks [] are subroutine blocks which do not execute until called
07:56:39  Any strings (not any other types) on the stack when the program ends is done implicitly run GEN on them and then is send each one to output. This is the only way to make the program to output anything (except for debugging commands).

10:19:06  Do you know if GNU C allows a variable declaration to be an unnamed union?
10:20:28  And, if you have a question about FurryScript, please write it in details in the http://esolangs.org/wiki/User_talk:Zzo38/FurryScript
10:26:53  GNU C does allow unnamed unions as an extension in pre-C11 modes, yes, if I recall correctly.
10:27:21  Er, that is, allows unnamed union members.
10:27:34  I think anything will allow a tagless union variable declaration.
10:28:11  ("Unnamed" is perhaps a bit vague.)
10:29:16  If you mean the kinds of unnamed unions that are used as struct/union members, I don't think it allows that as a variable declaration.
10:30:37  In other words,  struct s { union { int x; double y; }; };  is fine, as is  union { int x; double y; } u;  but not plain  union { int x; double y; };  outside of a struct or an union declaration.
10:32:28  Are they going to change it so that it is allowed?
10:33:20  Does anyone else want such feature?
10:38:39  Sounds slightly unlikely. I suppose the desired semantics would be the same as  union { int x; double y; } u;  except allowing plain x and y as opposed to u.x and u.y in the scope where the declaration is visible? 
10:39:10  Yes, so x and y have the same address, too.
10:45:18  It is possible that "they" think it would be potentially too surprising; as opposed to the variant where there is at least some explicit indication that the two variables are in an union.
10:47:58 -!- nooodl has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
10:51:36  It wouldn't seem too surprising to me, at least.
10:53:08  You could use macros in some cases, but such things lacks the scope, and macros cannot define other macros.
10:56:29  Actually I think declaring unnamed structures as variables should also be allowed in order to force them to be grouped together if the address is being used in such a way.
10:57:22  Personally I'm willing to just write the "foo." prefix in such a case.
10:57:57  ==fizzie
10:59:32  Yes that is one way, although it may fail with some uses of macros, and anyways it seem to me that it ought to be allowed, by how the others worked.

11:05:48 -!- nooga has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
11:06:09  I suppose it depends on whether you see it as a feature of a struct/union declaration ("leaving out the name allows the members to bubble up to the enclosing scope") or as a feature of a struct/union *member* declaration ("leaving out the name pulls up the members to this scope"); the way it's specified is closer to the latter.
11:07:28  Incidentally, here's two C features I've never seen used "in the wild"; any spottings of these elsewhere?  struct bf { int bf1 : 1; int : 0; int bf2 : 1; };  and  int f(int n, int ary[*]); int f(int n, int ary[n]) { ... }
11:08:07  I have not seen it.
11:09:31 -!- monqy has quit (Quit: hello).
11:10:10 -!- nooga has joined.
11:10:19  Regarding the latter, it's funny that  int f(int a, int not_a, int ary[a]); int f(int a, int nota, int ary[not_a]) { ... }  is perfectly legal -- in a function declaration that's not a definition any non-constant sizes are taken as if "[*]" were written there instead.
11:10:33  s/nota/not_a/
11:15:04  Would my ^+| and ^-&~ operators be useful ever for hardware description?
11:18:57  I mean the ^+| acts like ^ or | or + but is undefined if the operands share any bits set; the ^-&~ is undefined if any bits set in right operand are clear in the left operand.
11:20:22  Are... are those the symbols for the operators? 
11:21:13  They are symbols I made up because I don't know of the others. Probably ^-&~ is no good, maybe -&~^ is better?
11:21:53  At least in C; in other programming languages it might be OK.
11:22:48  zzo38: Do you use Control.Lens?
11:24:25  shachaf: No, not at this time. Maybe later, though, if I find to use it.

11:32:35  fizzie: I'm pretty sure the bitfields-in-struct thing is mentioned in K&R, but that's not exactly in the wild.  Incidentally, "why aren't these used very often?" was my first thought when I read about them
11:33:18  It seems to me like a cleaner approach than using and/or to mask out bits in an int
11:33:51  FireFly: I've seen bitfields; what I haven't seen is the "int : 0;" part.
11:34:20  Aha
11:34:51  It "indicates that no further bit-field is to be packed into the unit in which the previous bit-field, if any, was placed."

12:12:38  Such elegance.
12:23:10  this differs from a[] because it's a VLA rather than a plain array?
12:24:08  or not, because array arguments are always actually pointer arguments?
12:24:38  It differs because it's a VLA, yes.
12:27:14  Possibly it might not matter in the case I pasted, where the "array of type" is adjusted to "pointer of type", but it matters with a more complicated declarator.
12:31:35  E.g. you can write  int f(int n, int a[n][n])  or equivalently  int f(int n, int (*a)[n])  and a suitable prototype for f would be also  int f(int n, int (*a)[*]);  but having  int f(int n, int (*a)[]) { ... }  wouldn't work.
12:34:05  For one thing, as mentioned a[*] is a complete type while a[] is not.

12:37:34  FWIW, I haven't seen the  int f(int n[static 42]) { ... }  form in the wild either.
12:39:16  ("If the keyword static also appears within the [ and ] of the array type derivation, then for each call to the function, the value of the corresponding actual argument shall provide access to the first element of an array with at least as many elements as specified by the size expression", but it's not like anyone would *check*.
12:43:20  huh?
12:46:24  int f(int n[static 10]) { ... }; ... int a[8]; f(a);  is undefined behaviour, unlike  int f(int n[10]) { ... }; ... int a[8]; f(a);  which is only UB if f actually tries to access anything past the end of a.
12:48:25  I'm not sure if anything anywhere will in fact do anything different there; but theoretically speaking the compiler could (in the first case) e.g. speculatively load 10 ints from where the argument points at, and you couldn't blame it for blowing up.

18:17:06  fizzie, I'm looking at an alternative that seems a lot more basic
18:17:11  fizzie, and no ads
18:17:21  however there is a bit of mess with driver signing
18:17:53  fizzie, will tell you if it works in a bit
18:18:18  I'm not sure I can be bothered to switch since it works just fine; though admittedly I feel a bit queasy, having it on my system.
18:18:34  It does a rather passable xbox360 emulation for the PS3 controller, which is nice.
18:19:02  the one I'm testing has a japanese only page, though there is an English readme
18:19:25  Bastion IIRC only worked for a x360 pad; and Sonic Generations has this random malfunction when it comes to any pads that aren't used via XInput aka. anything not a x360.
18:19:35  But the MotioninJoy emulation has so far been fine.
18:19:51  it looks like malware to me, that is the issue
18:20:12  anyway I played an snes emulator on my android phone with this thing now, in bluetooth mode even. Works fine.
18:20:47  It works over bluetooth with the N900 just fine, too; I don't recall if I needed to install anything.
18:20:52  also why does this use miniusb rather than microusb
18:21:15  I have absolutely no idea; my cable is from an old digital camera that also used miniusb.
18:21:28  I had a mini-usb cable from my bank login thingy
18:21:42  It has one of those large bulky things they sometimes put to cables that presumably do something to rf interference or something.
18:21:49  hah
18:21:52  You know, the kind of cylindrical things.
18:21:55  yeah
18:21:57  ferrite cores?
18:22:07  Something like that, right.
18:22:14  It's in the mini-usb end, it looks real stupid hanging there.
18:22:27  heh
18:22:35  my camera have that too
18:22:50  but it is optional, only required for the remote control mode according to the manual
18:23:05  my camera uses a custom connector on that end of the cable though
18:23:20  The current camera I have has a custom connector too.
18:23:22  also windows is being slow after boot as usual
18:24:00  The miniusb was from some 1600x1200 pocket-camera bought a decade ago.
18:24:17  heh
18:25:50  Back in... uh, school grades 7-9, I was helping with the PageMakering of the school newspaper; they had a quite early digital camera there.

18:28:21  i'm being dumb
18:28:40  yeah, it works
18:29:41  I think it really doesn't have a difference for that "top-level array" case, since the "'array of T' is adjusted to 'pointer to T'" rule takes effect no matter whether it was a VLA or not.

18:35:34  fizzie, speaking of ferrite cores, I have a power cable with one of those on
18:35:40  it is for an external HDD enclosure
18:35:57  fizzie: but it matters for a[3][*] ?
18:36:14  kmc: Right; you couldn't have a type a[3][], after all.
18:36:33  (Array element type can't be incomplete.)
18:36:55  Vorpal: The power cable from the transformer to the laptop has one at the transformer end.
18:37:11  mm, because it has to know how big it is
18:37:15  I mean, this laptop; not some generic "the laptop".
18:37:55  fizzie, I think the hdd one has the core on the HDD end
18:38:18  I wonder if that matters. (Am no electroman.)
18:38:51  so a float[4][5] is 20 contiguous floats... but a float[4][*] is four pointers to separate VLAs?

18:39:19  I have to explicitly give it the path to the bcd file for it to find it
18:39:38  very strange
18:39:51  kmc: float[4][*] is a variably modified type, but it's still 4*(something) contiguous floats, and the actual function definition needs to have an actual expression there to specify (something).
18:40:15  ah i see
18:40:26  can that depend on previous parameters?
18:40:29  Yes.
18:40:35  int f(int n, float a[4][n])
18:40:38  wow dependent types
18:41:37  There are more restrictions for variably modified types than for regular types; can't have them at file scope and so on.
18:42:36  They also make it possible for sizeof expressions to have side effects, something that wasn't possible earlier.
18:42:49  yikes
18:42:53  which effects are those?
18:42:59  which language?
18:43:15  C. Well, C99 and later.
18:43:16  sizeof(int[printf("foo\n")]) and/or the like
18:43:27  sizeof (int[i++]) too.
18:43:35  ah
18:43:48  ok, sure
18:44:02  but is it possible for the effects to be not define as part of the sizeof expression
18:44:30 -!- atriq has joined.
18:44:37  Probably not; once you do int f[foo("bar")]; I don't think "sizeof f" is allowed to re-evaluate foo("bar").
18:44:46  There's also a rule that the side effects can happen, but don't need to happen, if their result is not needed for computing the result of the sizeof.
18:45:06  apparently you can also do void f(double a[restrict][5])
18:45:22  The qualifiers-in-[] is kind of funny-looking, yes.
18:45:22  which means that a is passed by restricted pointer, I guess
18:46:35  But anyway  sizeof (int (*)[i++])  is allowed but not required to increment i, since even though it's a variably modified type, the size of the array is not relevant for computing the size of the pointer.
18:46:42  mm
18:47:40  hm I think windows is getting either lagged by interrupts or IO for the period 2 to 3 minutes after boot. I had this issue for some time
18:47:53  but never managed to pull up process explorer before during that period
18:48:10  i feel like int a[static 5] was probably added for some super specific reason
18:48:15  20:48  ,cc int i = 1, j = 1; size_t s = sizeof (int[i++]), t = sizeof (int (*)[j++]);
18:48:18  20:48  fizzie:  
18:51:19  the alternative syntax of "double (* restrict a)[5]" also looks pretty weird
18:51:39 -!- nooga_ has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds).
18:53:58  In C99, the use of the static keyword in: [... double a[static 10], double b[static 10] ...] guarantees that both the pointers a and b provide access to the first element of an array containing at least ten elements. The static keyword also guarantees that the pointer is not NULL and points to an object of the appropriate effective type. It does not, however, guarantee that a and b point to ...
18:54:04  ... unique, non-overlapping objects. The restrict keyword is used for that purpose as in: [... double a[static restrict 10] ...] -- This is information that an optimizer can use, for example, to unroll the loop and reorder the loads and stores of the elements referenced through a and b."
18:54:09  Is all that the rationale says about it.
18:54:28  Loading elements "in advance" is also what I sort of thought of.
18:55:18  Though I suppose regular static analysis should also show that the code is going to load those ten elements in any case, in which case it'd be also legal.
18:56:18  Okay, the example is   void fadd(double a[static restrict 10], const double b[static restrict 10]) { int i; for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) { if (a[i] < 0.0) return; a[i] += b[i]; } return; }
18:56:19  fizzie, wait, what does the static keyword do in that position?
18:56:57  I guess in that case without static you couldn't preload all the elements, just in case a didn't have that many elements but there was a -1.0 before it ended.
18:57:10  Vorpal: "If the keyword static also appears within the [ and ] of the array type derivation, then for each call to the function, the value of the corresponding actual argument shall provide access to the first element of an array with at least as many elements as specified by the size expression."
18:57:26 * Vorpal tries to parse that
18:58:21  fizzie, so it means you say it must be at least that size?
18:58:24  hm
18:58:25  Yes.
18:58:28  Without static it would be legal to do  double a[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, -1}; double b[10] = {1, 2, 3, 4}; fadd(a, b);  since the function actually only accesses up to a[4] and b[3].
18:58:45  does GCC do anything with this info btw?
18:58:48  But then the optimizer couldn't assume there are always at least 10 elements and reorder the accesses.
18:58:52  I have no idea.
18:59:02  Perhaps I'll try the example they give in the rationale. :p
18:59:13  hm
19:00:39  Hrm, it seems to generate identical code with or without static. :/
19:01:13  i can imagine it being useful e.g. with vector instructions that load a bunch of data at once
19:01:15  The loop is fully unrolled, but there's that a[i] < 0 test before each access.
19:01:38  Yeah, this could've been vectorized, probably.
19:02:02  dammit, I can't get the driver signing check disabling to work
19:02:11  oh well I guess I will have to use that crazy thing
19:02:13  Though you'd also need to guarantee 16-byte alignment somehow for movapd to be legal.
19:02:23  fizzie, to what degree do you actually have to deal with the ads and such?
19:03:19  Vorpal: Not much. The settings page has some ads at bottom and left, which you'll need to see when twiddling them.
19:03:29  Changing it from PS3 mode to Xbox360 emulation, for example.
19:03:38  But it's not going to splatter them all over the screen or anything.
19:04:02  It also installs a permanent tray icon for the settings.
19:04:15  (Possibly that's configurable; I haven't bothered since it ends up in the hidden tray icons.)
19:04:18  fizzie, permanent?
19:04:19  ouch
19:04:25  fizzie, anything else?
19:04:29 -!- hagb4rd has quit (Quit: hagb4rd).
19:04:31  c99 still doesn't have alignment qualifiers does it?
19:04:38  It's there even without the controller connected; it's that permanent.
19:04:39  but maybe c11 does?
19:04:47  stupid
19:05:13  C11 does
19:05:17  kmc: C11 has some alignment specifiers, yes.
19:05:35  alignment-specifier: _Alignas ( type-name ) | _Alignas ( constant-expression ).
19:06:44  So you can have  int32_t _Alignas (16) sse_friendly_array[8];  or something, perhaps.
19:07:03  the famous king Alignas
19:07:23  Or  int _Alignas (int) x;  for the Deparment of Redundancy Department use case.
19:07:33  int _Alignas(char)
19:08:11  _Alignas (type) is equivalent to _Alignas (_Alignof (type)).
19:09:23  And of course  void *aligned_alloc(size_t alignment, size_t size);  is there for the dynamic folks.
19:15:06  Have to say that C11  _Generic(x, int: fooi, double: foof)(x)  is slightly prettier than the existing GCC workaround  __builtin_choose_expr(__builtin_types_compatible_p(__typeof__(x), int), fooi, foof)(x)  -- okay, the whole idea is a bit iffy, but still.
19:16:13  They should just put full-on C++ templates in
19:17:22  Type-generic math library! 
19:18:08  It even does complexities.
19:18:58 -!- Nisstyre-laptop has quit (Quit: Leaving).
19:23:42  fizzie, it doesn't appear "motioninjoy" exports all axes to the OS?
19:23:55  I mean the sixaxis stuff and what not
19:25:24  Vorpal: The tilts should be there, in PS3 mode.
19:25:45  okay it seems it overlaps some axies then
19:25:48  The way they improve C are much difference to the ways I think they should be done.
19:26:03  Vorpal: left-right tilt as Rz and front-back tilt as Slider by default, apparently.
19:26:04  fizzie, it doesn't track L2 and R2 separately either it appears
19:26:28  fizzie, front-back seems to default to Rx for me
19:26:32  which seems weird
19:26:49  That should be right-stick x, according to this list. Unless I've customized these options.
19:26:57  fizzie: so is there any reason to use [*] in your prototype, rather than just using the full size expression?
19:26:58  fizzie, yeah it is that as well
19:27:04  fizzie, basically I have overlap
19:27:15  maybe the size expression depends on stuff local to the file where the function is defined
19:27:17  And right, L2/R2 seem to go by default into z+ z-, I don't know how that works.
19:27:20  Some things I think GNU are going the better job, such as zero-length arrays, long long in C89, and some (but not all) of their other ideas.
19:27:28  fizzie, yeah
19:27:33  Maybe the custom profile thing could be used to make it more sensible.
19:27:38  fizzie, should be a separate axis for each?
19:27:38 -!- carado has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
19:27:47  Sounds like it'd make more sense, yes.
19:28:06  I presume windows supports that, since it handles my flight joystick just fine
19:28:08 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
19:28:16  and that shows up as 11 axes and 30+ buttons
19:28:33  Vorpal: Yeah, it could just be a deficiency in the driver.
19:28:39  (I haven't ever used the tilts for anything.)
19:28:43  right
19:29:00  I would like separate axes for the triggers though
19:29:47  Vorpal: The custom profile axis-dropdown has a "Dial" that doesn't seem to be used for anything in PS3 mode, you could use that for the other trigger.
19:29:55  yeah
19:30:13  fizzie, linux reports the pressure from each of the buttons too in jstest
19:30:21  seems to be mapped to digital values here
19:30:34  Axes:  0:     0  1:     0  2:     0  3:     0  4:-32767  5:-32767  6:-32767  7:-32767  8:-32767  9:-32767 10:-32767 11:-32767 12:-32767 13:-32767 14:-32767 15:-32767 16:-32767 17:-32767 18:-32767 19:-32767 20:-32767 21:-32767 22:-32767 23:-32767 24:-32767 25:-32767 26:-32767 27:-32767 Buttons:  0:off  1:off  2:off  3:off  4:off  5:off  6:off  7:off  8:off  9:off 10:off 11:off 12:off 13:off 14:off 15:off
19:30:34   16:off 17:off 18:off
19:30:50  does everything have an analogue sensor on this thing?
19:30:57  apart from start and select
19:31:08  Vorpal: Yeah, I don't quite know how that work. The custom-profile dropdowns let you select either a button or a pressure-sensitive button, but I don't know how they appear.
19:31:11  and the logo
19:31:16  hm
19:31:21  I don't think R3 and L3 have pressure-sensitivity either.
19:31:39  But that's about it for the exceptions.
19:31:45  fizzie, actually where is the L3/R3?
19:31:54  Clicking down the left or right stick.
19:32:04  ah
19:32:05  yeah
19:32:10  they sound digital
19:32:30  fizzie, but yeah this thing exports too few axes
19:33:34  Why don't they just use MIDI?
19:33:39  -_-
19:34:27  Vorpal: It might be partially so that Windows games don't get all confused. But I agree that the custom mode should let you just have N axes, one for each pressure-sensitive button if you like.
19:35:59  also why does the controller only work with the USB3 port under windows...?
19:36:00  lol
19:36:19  it was the only free one so I used that, now I tried to move it but it won't work there
19:36:35  oh well
19:36:38  There's some kind of a thing when it comes to changing ports.
19:37:09  You may need to jump through an extra hoop, rerun something or whatnot.
19:38:01  kmc: You could argue that it's better to use foo[*] since that's how it is interpreted, and if you try to use foo[3*legubniate(n,i,read_pin("G1"))+(zorked((struct p){1,2})?4:8)] in the header file for documentationary reasons, it'll just get out of sync and mislead, since nothing checks. But it's a rather weak justification. Well, except maybe if the expression really looks like *that*.
19:38:48  Still, I'd prefer (int n, foo[n][n]) over (int n, foo[*][*]).
19:39:06 -!- nortti has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
19:39:13 -!- nortti has joined.
19:39:58  yeah
19:40:07  People who prefer [*] will probably also advocate not putting parameter names in prototypes.
19:40:12  i think the "using a static function to compute the size" case is compelling, though
19:40:30  (Since int f(int, int, int, int, int, int) is clearly superior.)
19:40:37 -!- nooga has joined.
19:45:31 -!- Nisstyre has joined.
19:56:20  fizzie: yeah, but everything's an int, so you don't need the prototype at all because the compiler can guess it!
19:56:30  (assuming you're some kind of pre-ANSI freakazoid)
20:00:02  Maybe you want to use [*] or [n] in the prototype to affect optimization at the caller?
20:04:23 -!- rapido has joined.
20:05:13  That sounds unlikely, since the standard says you must treat [n] in a prototype as if it were replaced by [*], and can't e.g. assume it will be [n] for the function definition.
20:05:56 -!- monqy has joined.
20:14:59  Why is it allowed then? Does it have something to do with macros?
20:16:40  Which do you think is better (if either; maybe you think both are horrible), OkCupid or Internet Quiz Engine? They have many similar features but also differences; each has some things the other lacks.
20:17:19  have you been discussing this continuously for the last 7 hours?
20:17:46  No. But, have you been? I doubt it.
20:19:02  How to I stop the mouse wheel from moving?
20:19:18  I don't know why the non-[*] version is allowed; but it could be just for people who think it's clearer code that way, like the mentioned parameter names for functions that are also kind of ignored.
20:19:19  just stop spinning it
20:19:30  But sometimes I accidentally touch it.
20:20:06  fizzie: Perhaps for automatic documentation generators?
20:20:29  Although use with macros could be another reason.
20:27:34  I think I'm about to have a long running Python script communicate with a PHP script
20:27:36  God help me
20:28:04  better than only having a PHP script, I guess
20:28:50  Clearly the obvious solution is to use C# as an intermediary
20:29:02  Or maybe I could figure out web.py and hope it works on the machine in question
20:29:27  Actually, that might not even work, I can't use AJAX to communicate with a different server than the page is hosted from, right?
20:29:34  FILE SELECTION = SINGLE PLAYER | CUSTOM DATA | RENTAL | RANDOM | RANDOM RENTAL | DUPLICATE RANDOM | DUPLICATE RANDOM RENTAL | DRAFT | BALANCED MARSEILLAIS DRAFT | AUCTION | RENTAL AUCTION
20:35:29 -!- epicmonkey has joined.
20:37:26  Oh, right, of course: you need [*] in order to have prototypes with no parameter names, since you can't say [n] if you don't name n.
20:37:46  "A function prototype can have parameters that have variable length array types (§6.7.5.2) using a special syntax as in  int minimum(int, int[*][*]);  This is consistent with other C prototypes where the name of the parameter need not be specified." (C99 Rationale.)
20:38:13  fizzie: O, yes, otherwise n might be a constant, I guess; that part makes sense at least.
20:38:34  fizzie, heh
20:39:58  Apparently there was also "considerable debate" about the lexical ordering rules, because currently you can write   void f(double a[*][*], int n); void f(a, n) int n; double a[n][n]; { ... }   using the "old-style" function definition, but you can't write a modern definition with a parameter type list, because   void f(double a[n][n], int n)   is erroneous.
20:40:36  In the end they decided extending the scope of that n to the start of the parameter list would have not been in the "Spirit of C", and they left it as it is.
20:41:12  "This is an unforeseen side effect of Standard C prototype syntax."
20:41:58  They also give the workaround:  void f(double *ap, int n) { double (*a)[n] = (double (*)[n])ap; ... }
20:42:29  (Then you can go ahead and use a[1][2] just like the old-style definition.)

21:17:03  What option do you want for pokemon battle game?
21:17:36  are you talking about an actual game, or that pokemon battle programming language idea?
21:18:32  No, I mean hypothetically an actual game.
21:18:58  I wrote a list of various idea of options which can be available.
21:19:05  in that case, I think cool weather features could be fun
21:19:15  Yes, I agree; what weather features?
21:19:24  I... don't really know
21:19:37  something more than just "it's gonna rain for the next five turns" though
21:19:48  maybe with temperature
21:19:49  I mean rule options.
21:20:05  and humidity
21:21:05  I have options for time controls, team restrictions, finance, backgammon doubling cube, bag items, and various others.
21:21:39  oh, cool
21:22:08  the backgammon doubling cube should be a universal feature that every computer game should allow
21:22:31  I don't think it would work with every game
21:22:41  no, probably not
21:25:36  http://zzo38computer.org/textfile/miscellaneous/pokemon_rule.txt
21:27:02  WHY ALL UPPERCASE?
21:27:36  Because I want to. Only the comments will be not all uppercase.
21:28:31  "BANNED POKEMON [POKEMON]"?
21:28:59  Or [BLACKLIST | WHITELIST] [POKEMON]
21:29:31  That may be done using "SPECIES DATABASE" rule.
21:29:50   in that case, I think cool weather features could be fun ← oh no you don't DARE
21:29:53  rage rage rage
21:30:04  seriously please no
21:30:07  what?
21:30:28  Arc_Koen: I'm a competitive Pokémon player
21:30:29  I can list weather anyways but you would be able to turn it off if you don't want weather, anyways.
21:30:34  and weather has completely ruined the metagame
21:30:46  don't tell me you've secretly been working on a nintendo ds pokemon game with barometer included
21:30:50  oh, right
21:31:02  nah, but I mean the existing weather conditions (especially rain) are completely broken
21:31:09  because they made them too good and too easy to set up
21:31:11  thing is, if you make up your own pokemon game, I don't think metagame matters that much
21:31:13  and it's lead to the game being no fun as a result
21:31:21  unless you are very good at advertising
21:31:23  ais523: Yes, so you would turn off the weather entirely in the server option if you want to.
21:31:36  zzo38: yes, in fact some people play with that rule (it's called Clear Skies)
21:31:41  but the problem is, the default settings are more popular
21:31:46  if you have ten thousand different sets of options
21:31:49  nobody will be able to find a game
21:32:56  imagine chess where each player has their own personal rules for both sides of the board
21:32:58  no games would ever happen
21:33:18  weeeeeeeell
21:33:36  I think chess variants actually has a game which is like that.
21:33:53  haha
21:34:08  But that is not relevant anyways. It would be the separate program, which the setting are configured by server, and it may have presets, too.
21:34:21  you just gave me an idea for a chess variant
21:34:42  something stratego-like: you don't know what rules your opponent is playing by
21:34:50 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
21:35:15  you can see where his pieces are but not what pieces they are, so you "learn" about his rules and pieces by watching his moves
21:35:35  Arc_Koen: Perhaps, Chess with Different Armies, but you don't know what army has been selected by your opponent but you can narrow the possibilities?
21:35:38  i'm pretty sure I saw that game somewhere actually
21:35:49  it was more like stratego, a cold war themed game
21:35:49  something like that
21:36:06  and it came with a book where you could note down what you understood about the enemy forces
21:36:20  ais523: i keep forgetting you're a competitive pokémon player but that's actually neat
21:36:23  pieces placement should be somewhat arbitrary, otherwise you could narrow it down too much
21:36:23  because one of their pieces is a "spy" that can move in weird ways while pretending to be something else
21:36:54  for instance you shouldn't be able to know that all his pieces are shogi-like just because you've identified one gold general
21:36:59  Arc_Koen: Yes it could be made like that, I guess.
21:37:10  Arc_Koen: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2961/confusion-espionage-and-deception-in-the-cold-war found it.
21:37:18  thank you
21:37:44  there's a review on youtube where the guy explains most of it.
21:39:19  ais523: If you don't like weather, so if there is a rule option to disable weather, but what other rule option would you prefer? Is backgammon doubling cube OK?
21:39:30  yes yes it is
21:39:37  backgammon doubling cube is ALWAYS ok
21:39:49  though I'm not sure what it would mean here
21:39:51 -!- augur has joined.
21:40:06  how do you count points? the number of pokemon that have been taken out?
21:40:25  Arc_Koen: Battles won per match.
21:40:54  However, since ais523 is Pokemon player, I ask them too.
21:41:15  "Your Blissey has used all its Rests and doesn't have much health left... quitte ou double?"
21:41:33  "OK, quitte." *shoot blissey in the back*
21:53:28  zzo38: the tiebreakers normally used are Pokémon remaining, total HP remaining
21:54:08  the most obvious way to use the doubling cube, though, would be to give 1 point for a win, 0 for a loss, first to 7
21:54:11  with the doubling cube doubling as normal
21:54:22  oh, and you can't use it if you're 5-6 down
21:54:29  I think this is the normal tournament backgammon rules
21:54:54  Yes, that is the "MATCH POINTS" option, set it to 7. To disallow use when a player has 6 points, you can enable doubling cube with Crawford rule.
21:54:56  and it works in any 2-player zero-sum game where "win", "loss", possibly "draw" are the only outcomes
21:55:08  zzo38: yep, I'm saying that that's the sensible way to use doubling cube with Pokémon
21:55:31  Arc_Koen: also Blissey never runs Rest, it has Softboiled and Aromatherapy
21:55:42  softboiled, right
21:55:44  like, it wouldn't be an /awful/ user of Rest, but it has better
21:55:56  Another rule is ties stand, which is my preference. I have, however, added the other options too.
21:56:24  hmmmm what about doubling Rest with Sleep talk
21:56:27  or something
21:56:28  there's quite a complicated set of tiebreaks in Pokémon, that are used in single elimination tournaments
21:56:33  self-KO clause used to be really important, though
21:56:46 * Arc_Koen doesn't like tie breakers
21:56:50  Arc_Koen: that was good on some mons in gen 4
21:57:10  Arc_Koen: well the most important is that if you use a self-destructing move when there's 1 mon each, or destiny bond (which is similar), you lose
21:57:16  yeah well I don't really want to know about gen 5
21:57:28  three of the legendary pokemons look like Zelda characters
21:57:50  I know, I don't like that particular tie breaker either
21:58:14  self-ko clause makes a big difference and is pretty important
21:58:34  and I don't see anything wrong with ties
21:58:39  otherwise things like custap wobbuffet (which isn't currently legal because there's no way to get the custap berry) would be really good
21:58:44  I think they should be part of the game
21:58:47  even more than they are anyway, I think
21:58:58  Actually it is my preference for both that and Pokemon card, where the attacker loses and if not due to an attack then ties stand.
21:59:00  well it's more that it can be quite easy to force a tie even when you're clearly losing
21:59:05  not familiar with english names for berries, sorry
21:59:19  Arc_Koen: the one that makes you always act first if on low health
21:59:25  oh, right
21:59:47  what do you mean there's no way to get the custap berry, then?
22:00:00  I mean that there's no way to get the custap berry
22:00:05  ok
22:00:16  what else could I mean?
22:00:38  ais523: well it's more that it can be quite easy to force a tie even when you're clearly losing  << which basically means you are not that clearly losing
22:01:58  I haven't played competitive pokemon nearly enough to really have an opinion on this, but the same argument could be used against stalemate in chess, or against any other form of tie in any other game
22:04:11  well in chess, leaving your opponent an opportunity to stalemate themselves is considered a mistake
22:07:54  Unless the alternative makes your opponent win.
22:09:21  I'm just saying that "clearly winning" depends on the rules, and "this rule is unfair because it allows for a tie in a situation where I was clearly winning" doesn't really make any sense in itself

22:35:00  in my sense it was implied that turing-completeness was related to the means of output
22:35:31  and the language you describe is clearly not turing-complete regarding the " output

22:47:07  Go on?
22:47:11  first it is to be noted that it's way more computationally powerful that deadfish, because instead of a single accumulator it has A WHOLE STACK
22:47:21  for that reason it would be called Homestack
22:47:28  what
22:47:30  Pun on the comic?
22:47:36  the stack can only host up to four elements
22:47:47  trying to push a fifth result in the bottom element being discarded

22:48:17  there's no joke
22:48:21  hi
22:48:44  "punchline? there is no punchline"
22:49:10  i believe that, keeping with the theme of people being bad at inventing names for derivative languages, it should be called a) "DeadStack" or b) "StackFish"
22:49:17  yeah I learned that way of telling jokes from my father
22:49:35 -!- copumpkin has quit (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.).
22:49:49  Stackfishdeadbrain
22:49:51  i recommend the latter because of the semi clever "stockfish" pun
22:50:00  well if it's a joke language
22:50:04  :{
22:50:07  Fishstacks
22:50:31  Do you like fishsticks?
22:50:47  No, I'm not a gay fish
22:50:49  Fishstacks is better
22:51:49  you should write a spec for this language in 30 seconds
22:52:00  that's not a lot
22:52:05  GO
22:52:20  seeing as how I'm a wikitable-freak I'd have to save the 20 last seconds for format
22:52:36  if you set a timer and whatever you write in 30 seconds specifies your language, probably it'd be bad and nobody would understand it
22:52:44  ok
22:52:52  now I need to find a timer
22:55:00  oh
22:55:14  my phone had a timer but I set it to 30 minutes instead
22:55:22  apparently it doesn't have seconds
22:55:33  maybe the extra time will improve the quality of your specification
22:55:56  fishstacks is a deadfish derivative based on a stack the stack can only hold four elements when a fifth element is pushed the bottom element is kicked out and eventually printed out to the screen. The name was originally meant to be Hpmestack but it was suggested that DeafStack or StackFish would be a better name as it is a derivative but eventually atriq came up with Fishstakc the commands are i increment d decrement p push a ne
22:55:57  square top element.
22:56:11  perhaps bonghits will fix your language specification
22:56:44  DeafStack "because it has no input"
22:57:22  i';m glad that now i can use this language to write a program?
22:57:57  FireFly: In Pokemon Card, I think the standard tiebreaking rule is that if one player win one way, other player win two ways, the player winning two ways wins, otherwise you play the duel with the same decks but only one side card each. My rule is that number of ways you win and so on is irrelevant; attacker loses otherwise the tie stands.
22:58:11  yes, you can
22:58:34  though the fact that I did not think about including a pop function during those extended 30 seconds is regrettable
22:59:36  FireFly: What do you prefer for tiebreaking rule? Another rule I use with Pokemon Card is overmate.
22:59:49  what's overmate?
23:00:20  zzo38: Hm, I didn't know about the "winning in more ways" thing, but I'm familiar with the single-prize-card tiebreaking match thing
23:01:33  what was happening at "a ne\nsquare top element"
23:02:02  Overmate is my own rule. Normally you have overmate 0, and then add 1 for each extra side card you would pick up but you can't, add 1 if opponent's draw pile is empty, add 1 if your draw pile is empty, and add 1 if you won in two ways.
23:02:43  It is an extra score you earn.
23:02:47  nooodl: I just had a weird déjà-vu feeling when you said that
23:02:47 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined.
23:03:21  but if the question was sincere I said "p push a new 0 s square top element"
23:03:31  FireFly: What I mentioned was the older rules; I don't know what the new rules say about such things.
23:03:48  Yeah, I haven't played in ages either
23:03:56  so because you forgot about "pop", p is really just "set the accumulator to zero"
23:04:36  no, it's slightly more *cough* subtle that that
23:04:38  I know some things about the newer rules, and actually I prefer the older rules. I also invented additional rules which are only available in Limited.
23:05:25  oh i guess you have to p once at the start of your program at least
23:06:49  well and the print function is different
23:07:28  so when "setting the accumulator to 0" you're actually putting the previous accumulator in the output queue
23:07:50  (did I say "stack" before? :D)
23:08:13  now you have to call is
23:08:21  "DequeFish"....

01:22:45  If there's only one place that something's being deployed, it's fine to use features specific to that environment, right?
01:22:48  (e.g. named pipes)
01:23:27  that depends on a lot of factors, don't you think?  like whether whoever you're deploying it for might want to spread out later, or whether you're being paid enough to care
01:37:29  indeed
01:37:37  also named pipes are supported by most operating systems
01:39:32  I feel like I should be using local sockets, not sure if that's easier or not :/

01:41:47 -!- copumpkin has joined.
01:46:59  maybe you could write the client in a language other than the worst language ever
01:48:01  All it's going to do is serve the data to an AJAX call

01:50:07 -!- Slereah has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
01:54:37  why not serve it from the python process
01:55:15  Because I'd have to do JSONPish stuff
01:55:20  Which I guess I can do
01:55:28  why would you
01:55:30  I don't know if I can run a Python process on this server to do web stuff
01:55:30  how does that follow
01:55:49  Because I'm still using some other server for most of the web stuff
01:56:00  Not going to start messing with that, it's not really under my control
01:56:09  ah, you are on some kind of shared hosting and you have mod_php and not mod_wsgi or mod_fastcgi
01:56:18  sucks
01:56:30  i still don't see what this has to do with JSONP
01:56:37  hey Sgeo you finished fine structure right
01:56:41  Phantom_Hoover, yes
01:56:46  is it because you would have to host it on a different domain
01:56:49  ah
01:56:55  I don't know anything about mod_wsgi or mod_fastcgi
01:57:01  Those could be installed, I guess
01:57:06  @tell elliott finish fine structure you knob
01:57:06  Consider it noted.
01:57:08  I have no idea
01:57:16  i guess what i'm saying is, your frontend web server (apache or whatever) knows how to talk to PHP, but not Python?
01:57:17  @tell Sgeo finish ds9 you knob
01:57:17  It would be on a different port
01:57:17  Consider it noted.
01:57:18  Sgeo: You have 1 new message. '/msg lambdabot @messages' to read it.
01:57:38  kmc, I have no idea if it knows how to talk to a long running Python process
01:57:39  well typically web apps are configured with a frontend server proxying to one or more application server processes
01:58:11  the proxying can be literally HTTP proxying over localhost, or it could be FastCGI protocol, or WSGI which is a python-spceific thing I don't know much about
02:00:46  "These days, FastCGI is never used directly. Just like mod_python, it is only used for the deployment of WSGI applications."
02:00:58  I really just want to do a two second thing, why can't I just FastCGI directly
02:01:05  i'm not really sure what that means "never used directly"
02:01:18  it's probably lies
02:01:40  it's true that whatever's on the other end that parses the fastcgi requests will probably go through WSGI
02:01:46  because most python web app frameworks are built around WSGI
02:02:15  04:00:58 < Sgeo> I really just want to do a two second thing, why can't I just FastCGI directly
02:02:21  Because it's easier to do wsgi
02:02:27  at work we are using FastCGI because nginx's native wsgi support seemed pretty half-baked
02:02:37  Is it really that bad?
02:02:38  and because we know about fastcgi and have used it before
02:02:52  uwsgi_pass etc
02:03:16  the extent of it is that I went to http://wiki.nginx.org/NgxWSGIModule and observed "From LoONeYChIKuN: I was able to successfully get this to compile on 0.8.30 and 0.7.64 using this patch." and "From JacobSingh: I tested this against 0.6.23 and it didn't compile."
02:03:17  I could easily just take this code snippit on this page and adapt it to my needs
02:03:28  Not that difficult
02:04:51  http://blog.zacharyvoase.com/2010/03/05/django-uwsgi-nginx/ looks pretty complicated compared to "apt-get install nginx python-flup"
02:05:13  Well that's mostly because it starting from compiling freaking nginx
02:05:26  -ing
02:05:54  well why does it seem that everyone who wants to use nginx with wsgi has to compile it from scratch with weird patches etc
02:06:08  I have no idea
02:06:11  I didn't
02:06:19  i didn't do in-depth research, but this pattern seemed to bode poorly
02:06:23  what did you do
02:07:09  pacman -S nginx; yaourt -S uwsgi
02:07:24  I spent a while puzzling through this overly-simple generate Core before realizing that I had main = return ()
02:07:35  Granted that second command does actually compile the thing but it's automatic. Think Gentoo except better
02:08:27  cool
02:08:54  I think it also creates the init script
02:09:09  (Which will probably break in the next update due to systemd but hey)
02:09:36 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
02:10:04  But at any rate, I can now get a WSGI app to magically appear in a location by putting two or three lines in the respective place in nginx's configuration
02:10:10  cool
02:10:21  ...I wouldn't run Arch on a server though
02:10:30  I mean, on a server that has some sort of reliability requirement
02:10:30  so do you have to run some separate uwsgi process or does nginx launch that
02:10:49  I do have to run uwsgid
02:11:07  I don't think it's working
02:11:09  But setting that up is a one-time thing (just like any other daemon)
02:11:16  And it can run multiple apps
02:11:19  ok
02:12:11  That's the easiest way I've been able to figure out how to run Python web stuff under nginx
02:12:18  Least configuration per app
02:12:24  okay, cool
02:12:27  thanks for the info :)

03:08:47 * shachaf is on the anti-apostrophe-pluralization committee.
03:09:43  yeah, i gather it is only correct in limited cases
03:09:46  like single letters
03:10:28  I don't even like it in those limited cases.
03:10:38  That may be an overreaction.
03:10:58  Well, in the case of a single letter I'm fine with it if you put apostrophes on both sides of the letter. :-)
03:20:15  Well in the case of a single letter I'm fine with putting apostrophes on both sides of the letter if you put s's on both sides too
03:20:31  s's's
03:20:37  obviously the plural of 'o' is 'ꙮ'
03:21:09  s'probably something wrong with encoding but I see that as "the plural of 'round' is 'square'"

04:14:02  kmc: Well, yes, you get only two cards so it is difficult to know right away if it is best to play; however there is other things such as your current score, position, current bet, various other things to decide if it is worth playing or not; the probabilities are just one factor of many. But if you have two aces and no flop cards yet, you should probably play.
04:14:57  If you have two aces, the flop cards two of them are aces, and the third is 2 to 9, then you should definitely play.
04:15:20  Well, maybe not 2 to 9, maybe 6 to 9.
04:16:50  Actually I think I am wrong.

16:23:08  huh, that was a surprisingly thoughtful scam email
16:23:17  the thought behind it was that it actually identified my mail provider correctly
16:23:22  admittedly, it could have done that from the address
16:32:24  Arc_Koen, in your implementations of Fueue, what was the divide by zero behaviour?
16:33:17  well I remember asking you a few times, and since you said it was unspecified, I guess I must have let it for Ocaml to raise its appropriate exception
16:33:20  let me see
16:34:23  oh, wait I had two implementations
16:34:39  ~/desktop/ocaml stephan$ gcc -o fueue fueue.c
16:34:39  ~/desktop/ocaml stephan$ ./fueue '/ 5 0'
16:34:40  Floating point exception
16:35:15  Thanks
16:35:23  ~/desktop/ocaml stephan$ ocamlc -o fueue fueue.ml
16:35:23  ~/desktop/ocaml stephan$ ./fueue '/ 5 0'
16:35:23  Fatal error: exception Division_by_zero
16:35:43  I'm trying to do my version, except better, this time
16:35:57  so the ocaml one clearly raise Division_by_zero when doing the division
16:36:08  I'm not sure when the Floating point exception occurs in the C one, though
16:36:13  but you're welcome :)
16:37:57  ./fueuec '/ 129 2 ~ H'
16:37:57  @
16:38:07  yup, so floating point only seem to occur with 0
16:38:30  Good, I think that's what I meant
16:39:00 -!- augur has joined.
16:39:15  let me know when you're done
16:39:39  Probably never
16:44:16  hmmm i'm thinking up quite the language here!
16:44:16  nooodl: You have 3 new messages. '/msg lambdabot @messages' to read them.
16:44:20  uh oh
16:45:27  here's the deal: befunge, on an infinite-D 2x2x2x2x2x... board
16:46:02  so your position is just a binary number. by default the pointer goes 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, etc
16:47:23  nooodl: then most positions on the board are inaccessible
16:47:26  or the language is super-TC
16:48:34  I'd reckon it's linear-bounded
16:48:43  what's super-TC
16:48:49  If there's a start moving in direction n command
16:49:06  nooodl, a turing-machine is less powerful than it if it's super-TC
16:50:02  A Turing-machine is a kind of machine which is conjectured to be able to execute any well-defined algorithm
16:51:55  anyway, moving around involves just going "x ^= dx", however, i'm going to somehow implement being able to modify multiple derivatives of x
16:52:05 -!- ais523_ has joined.
16:52:56 -!- ais523 has quit (Ping timeout: 268 seconds).
16:53:13  so with multi-dimensional wrapping and speed, acceleration, jerk, jounce etc. set, you can make more intersting loops around the board
16:55:32 -!- ais523_ has changed nick to ais523.
16:57:29  http://codepad.org/ZgbFzZ1c apparently you can make paths with a length of up to 2^ceil(log2(x)) when you define x derivatives of position
16:59:20  nooodl: http://esolangs.org/wiki/List_of_ideas#Based_on_dimensions
16:59:21  or uh, not really. it's 2^ceil(log2(x-1)), or something. anyway, to move around, instead of setting dx and dy to some value like befunge, you push dx, ddx, dddx, ddddx etc. onto a "movement stack"
16:59:40   what's super-TC
16:59:42  nooodl: uncomputable
16:59:55  I am saying that either you cannot set the position to most possible values or your language is uncomputable
17:00:32  nooodl: http://esolangs.org/wiki/Talk:Hcbf
17:02:53  yeah, the coords have to end with an infinite amount of 0s
17:03:16  uncomputable is such a broad term
17:03:34  there's no bound to the number of dimensions your position can have, but it can't ever be infinite
17:03:43  how boring
17:03:46  inf-anf-i
17:03:50  oops.
17:03:56  inf-anf-oh at least had periodic points
17:05:02  nooodl: why not
17:05:28  if you can unambiguously describe an infinite binary sequence, it should be ok :)
17:06:57  i've considered that. representing position as a function (N -> Bool)
17:07:20  but you'd need to have means to test those functions for equality, at least
17:07:46  and thing is I'm not sure you'd be adding much to the language by allowing infinite sequence
17:07:51  yeah that's the issue
17:08:21   if you can unambiguously describe an infinite binary sequence, it should be ok :)
17:08:33  almost all infinite binary sequences cannot be described by any finite program
17:08:45  for instance, "rational numbers" or whatever you call repeated sequences, can be describe with a notation such as "(finite sequence)*"
17:08:55  unless your measure has atoms
17:09:31  but in that case you're only adding the possibility to put a * after a finite sequence, so you are only "multiplying by two" the possibilities, which is kinda lame since there already are an infinite number of them
17:09:47  elliott: yes that's the issue
17:10:42  things stay considerably more sane if you don't allow for coordinates like (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...)
17:12:46  so, are you using the cantor topology for the space of all positions
17:12:50  "comparing functions for equality" is on my mental list of "the simplest things you can't do"
17:13:23  ais523: you have some nice language for describing sequences so that equality is decidable right?
17:14:47  there's automatic sequences and fixed points of substitutions
17:14:52  in math
17:15:34  although perhaps for the latter equality is not in general decidable, but i think it is for primitive substitutions or something
17:15:47  the first time I thought about creating my own language I had an idea to include infinite sequences in it
17:16:33  using lazy-evaluating for-like statements and a few other things of the like
17:17:41  not every infinite sequence is  describable, though, right
17:24:04 -!- epicmonkey has quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds).
17:24:29  pretty much everything you'll ever need is describable
17:25:20  (in math you occasionally need things you cannot describe exactly, but are members of some nonempty set you can describe)
17:25:48  nooodl: (in case it isn't clear, positions in your language are isomorphic to reals)
17:26:54  well if i'm not allowing for anything that doesn't end in "0 repeating" they're isomorphic to naturals, right
17:27:25  because (0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0 repeating) is just 0b11010
17:28:55  nooodl: and if you allow any sequence to repeat, it's isomorphic to the rationals
17:29:00  which are isomorphic to the integers
17:29:11  as in, always ends with a repeating sequence but you can specify waht
17:29:12  *what
17:29:57  eventually periodic
17:29:58  Which was the basis of my informal proof the other day in a maths lesson that the digits of pi cannot be found within pi except for the obvious case of starting from the beginning
17:30:45  Because it implies repetition, which implies rationality
17:30:49  And pi is irrational
17:31:01  a characterization of periodicity is indeed that the sequence contains itself as a tail
17:31:40  it's harder to prove that pi is irrational presumably
17:32:42 -!- FreeFull has joined.
17:32:56  another characterization is this: there exists n such that the sequence contains at most n n-letter substrings
17:33:17  can you prove this? can you think of a two-dimensional analogue? is it true? can you prove it?
17:34:08 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined.
17:34:13  No, no, yes, no
17:34:40  dunno about the third one
17:35:00  the natural two-dimensional version is called nivat's conjecture
17:35:10 -!- Vorpal has joined.
17:36:11  so it's known that if there are at most 2n rectangles of shape n times 2, then the configuration is periodic (in at least one direction)
17:36:49  and recently it was proved that if there are at most nk/2 subrectangles of shape n times k then again it's periodic in some direction.
17:37:28  how recently are we talking here
17:37:36  this year iirc
17:38:35  we're going through the paper now, it's a bit annoying since we came up with all the main ideas in a seminar a few years back, except for the crucial idea of writing anything down.
17:39:04  (mostly based on the work of a guy in our university who had the record nk/16 then)
17:39:14  how long until nk/1?!?!?!?!
17:39:44  dunno
17:40:22  nk/0.5
17:42:45  well what makes the question interesting is of course that you can easily find a binary configuration that isn't periodic and you have nk+1 ways to fill each n times k rectangle
17:43:02  but nk - the natural counterpart to the 1d result - is a huge mystery
17:43:24  then again that's math for ya
17:43:36  it's awesome what you gonna do
17:43:40  nk/-1
17:43:40  so we're making a game
17:44:11  i can prove it for nk/infinity:
17:44:34  assume the configuration x has nk/infinity = 0 subrectangles of n times k
17:44:41  then it doesn't exist
17:44:43  qed
17:45:07  maths
17:46:13  math
17:46:17  oh fuck this is going to take forever to read
17:46:36  what is
17:47:21  the context to this
17:47:31  well you have all the time in the world
17:47:35  no i don't
17:47:36  so how's math going
17:47:51  still mostly boring, although geometry stopped and abstract algebra started
17:47:59  that's vastly more interesting
17:48:21  abstract algebra is nice yes
17:48:27  we're writing our first algebra paper kinda
17:48:34  i'm so far behind on differential equations it's not even funny
17:48:45  i don't know anything about those :/
17:50:08  i also haven't listened to an analysis lecture in weeks
17:51:12  i'm only taking one course
17:51:16  on nonstandard analysis
17:52:19  f'(a) = (f(x) - f(a))/(x - a) for x - a infinitely small :-)
17:56:33  this is one of those things for which you need an object you can't describe
17:56:35  Say f(x) = x²
17:56:37  an ultrafilter
17:57:00  f'(x) = 2x
17:57:07  f''(x) = 2
17:57:13  f'''(x) = 0
17:57:41  nice work, can you do 6x^7 + 3x next?
17:57:47  oh FreeFull
17:58:12  just because what you say is true does not make it relevant or interesting
17:58:29  i thought it was very amusing

20:25:37  I just noticed again.
20:25:54  did you know that there is no computable model...
20:25:59  For reference, http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003831
20:26:09  There is, in fact, a computable model of the Peano axioms.

20:26:57  no no, that's not what i meant
20:28:01  You meant a computable model of ZFC?
20:28:04  Yeah, there isn't one of those.
20:28:07  ...I think.
20:29:13  tswett, what specifically made you notice that Homestuck is weird
20:29:13  nope

20:29:46  I don't think there's one of those, either.

05:04:53  How do we know that there's only one standard model of the natural numbers, anyway...
05:06:01  I guess it's been proven, in ZFC or something, that there is only one computable model, and that this model is also the only well-ordered model.
05:08:07  hi
05:08:13  Hi.
05:12:37  I've seen it argued that there are, in fact, multiple standard models of the natural numbers.  The two most prominent are the positional numeral system, and unary.
05:14:08  The argument says that we have no particular reason to think that these two systems are isomorphic.
05:14:34  monqy: do you like lenses
05:14:46  Should it depend on if you extend them to infinite?
05:14:46  Since the number 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 can be written in the positional system, but not in unary.
05:14:47  shachaf: are you trying to get me to do a thing? I won't do it
05:15:36  monqy: "do i" have "a reputation"
05:15:56  Which... I guess is true for concrete, physical tally marks, but not for abstract theoretical ones.
05:15:56  wrt lens, trying to get people to do a thing
05:16:30  tswett: so how are you applying this to a new esolang
05:16:34  tswett: Same I was thinking of too.
05:17:15  And I think since you have to use abstract theoretical ones in mathematics, even though you cannot actually write it, you can use a different representation for convenience.
05:17:30  elliott: I call it Fuckfuck.  It's just like Brainfuck, except you're limited to 28,000 cells.
05:17:45  "fuckfuck" is already taken
05:17:59  is "hi" taken
05:17:59  Okay, I'll call it Fuckball.
05:18:14  the new esolang from monqy
05:19:10  no
05:23:19  So, an esolang based on the ultrafinitistic idea that there is no bijection between positional numerals and unary numerals.
05:24:10  sure
05:24:46  Presumably, the esolang should be incapable of taking a positional numeral and producing the corresponding unary numeral.
05:25:58  does it do anything else ?
05:26:12  It does something other than being incapable of that, yes.
05:27:14  How is this usually done?  The obvious way to do it is via recursion.  To unarize a long numeral, start by unarizing all but the last digit, n times.
05:28:04  So we should prohibit that kind of recursion.
05:29:01  you could just add.  int i,tot=0;for(i=0;i How do you do it using iteration instead?  The obvious way to do that is to just repeatedly decrement the numeral and write out "1" each time.
05:30:05  Okay, so we just have to make it impossible to repeatedly decrement numerals like that.
05:31:16  And the obvious way to do *that* is to make it a stack-based automaton.  Right?
05:32:33  could you just not have inbuilt positional numerals, forcing church encoding or something more unary-y?
05:33:00  Lambda calculus doesn't have to use Church encoding; it can use the positional system.
05:33:41  So, we want to make it a stack-based automaton.  And that makes me think, stack-based automata are those which can recognize context-free grammars.
05:33:54  So, this esolang shall be a syntax for expressing context-free grammars.
05:35:42  Which is easy, right?  Just take regular expressions and add things that mean "push this" and "pop this".
05:36:13  In the interest of inconsistency, the "push this" symbol should be "\p" and the "pop this" symbol should be "-".

09:37:12  elliott: Do you think Lens.Zipper-style zippers for infinite strict data structures are possible?
09:37:19  Infinite traversals of strict data structures.
09:37:24  https://github.com/ekmett/lens/issues/81
09:38:00  i don't know
09:38:10  good answer
09:39:57  shachaf, can you give an example of an infinite strict data structure?
09:40:07  Integer
09:40:35  > toListOf traverseBits (5::Integer)
09:40:37    [True,False,True,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,False,Fals...
09:40:39  See? Infinite.
09:40:46  Ooh
09:41:00  > toListOf traverseBits (-1 :: Integer)
09:41:02    [True,True,True,True,True,True,True,True,True,True,True,True,True,True,True...
09:41:14  Makes sense
09:42:26  Unfortunately there's no way to turn a traversed Integer back into an Integer.
09:42:29  That I know of.
09:43:07  Maybe you could do it with a special kind of Traversal.
09:43:11  I don't think it'd really be worth it...
09:43:20  Clearly we need that lazy integer thingylingy
09:43:36  Someone invent it
09:43:54  you will be granted a license to unamb
09:44:37  What lazy integer thingylingy?

09:45:19  Thanks, me.

16:52:38  TIL: python random.SystemRandom() is an object with the same API as random itself, which uses /dev/urandom directly
17:18:13  so
17:18:21  anyone here an expert on keyboards
17:19:24  i want an nkro ortho-linear keyboard with a separate numpad
17:19:46  separate as in not a numpad button that makes part of the keyboard into a numpad.
17:20:22  i'd prefer to pay less than 1000 euros
17:21:15  typematrix is ortho-linear, and i hear there are nkro keyboards. numpads are of course easier to find than not find.
17:21:32  but i haven't seen one with all
17:22:40  (i would also prefer blank skin because keyboards with text are kinda ugly, but i suppose that's easy to fix.)
17:27:15  blank skin, you mean like a keyboard painted in white?
17:30:10  yes
17:30:26  but that's optional, i can just paint over it or something
17:32:19  i don't really care what the keys feel like, it'd be enough to get a keyboard that's not a retarded piece of shit.
17:32:40  (the definition of not being a retarded piece of shit being nkro + ortho-linear)
17:33:55  before i bought the typematrix, the definition was being ortho-linear, but nkro is an almost equally pressing issue which i only noticed later.
17:45:00  hey does anyone know how http://esolangs.org/wiki/Rhotor works? there are no example programs and I don't really understand the syntax for functions
17:45:38  apparently I'm supposed to use "the :symbol notation" but I don't really know what it does
17:46:19  oklofok: what is ortholinear
17:46:28  that the keys are arranged in a grid
17:46:40  rather than staggered?
17:46:40  and the link to the interpreter seems broken
17:47:04  http://www.blog.cyberkinetx.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/DSC_1944.jpg
17:47:09  yes
17:47:12  i suspect your requirements are too many
17:47:21  nkro + ortho-linear are the main ones
17:47:25  neat
17:47:25  both are extremely rare
17:47:29  nkro already eliminates 9/10 of the market
17:47:35  you should use that keyboard to shoot a science-fiction show
17:48:02  ortho-linear is way more important, i can't stand staggered (at least the standard way of staggering, diagonal lines would be okay probably, but i don't see the point)
17:48:36  (we used to have touch screens for that, but they're so common now they don't look futuristic any longer)
17:48:54  what's nkro?
17:49:01  n-key rollover
17:49:06  so you can press any amount of keys at the same time
17:49:25  why would you want to do that
17:49:40  if you want to game with it
17:49:45  oh, right
17:49:47  or if you want to use it for steno
17:50:12  for the same reason i want my keyboard not to have the feature that typing "escalladoddo" actually writes "dude you suck". nkro makes sense, non-nkro doesn't.
17:50:24  doesn't steno care about some order among the typed letters?
17:50:35  and yeah if you had it, you could make programs that use it.
17:50:48  obviously most programs don't because keyboards don't have nkro.
17:50:57  I'm not sure I understand your escalladoddo comment though
17:51:12  if i press two keys, i want two keypresses to be sent.
17:51:22  (but I can relate to the T9 system used by my phone's keyboard is very very lame)
17:51:29  i don't want a random subset to be sent.
17:51:33  Arc_Koen: plover just looks at which keys were all typed in the last 100ms, regardless of order, and considers that a stroke
17:51:56 -!- ais523 has changed nick to ais523\unfoog.
17:52:14 -!- ion has joined.
17:52:19  Arc_Koen: the comment was a very random example of a feature that doesn't have a point. yeah you might not bump into it. it still makes no sense.
17:52:40  the natural thing to happen when i press 7 keys is that 7 keys are sent.
17:53:02  also why do people always discuss WHY you'd wont nkro, and not instead tell why they want non-nkro?
17:53:09  if I press two keys and let go, two letters appear on my screen
17:53:12  do you have a use for it?
17:53:48  though if I press two keys and don't let go, first two letters appear, then one of the two get printed indefinitely and the other just don't
17:53:52  oklofok: they want, say, 5kro rather than nkro because it is far cheaper
17:54:08  the cheapest nkro kb is like $25
17:54:44  most are hundreds
17:54:54  i payed something like 100 for typematrix
17:55:02  i'd pay 400 more for nkro.
17:55:16  i understand
17:55:28  most people cannot fathom paying that much for a keyboard
17:55:35  i wouldn't have to feel ashamed of myself everytime i touch my keyboard
17:55:40  and humanity
17:57:30  flat ortholinear seems pretty bad since fingers are not all the same length and resting position of hand is not perfectly flat
17:58:01  it's hard for me to imagine any of these being more comfortable than the kinesis contoured
17:58:27  kinesis contoured is one i'm currently looking at
17:58:55  but where's the arrow keys?
17:59:26  flat ortholinear is way better than qwerty imo, never tried a contoured kb.
17:59:52  arrow keys are just under qwerty's CV and M,
18:00:05  small curl of the index and middle fingers
18:00:16  pretty nice -- this is why i didn't learn vim hjkl until recently
18:01:03  layout-wise the other big difference is putting bksp del home end pgup pgdn enter space and modifiers into thumb clusters
18:01:21  it's pretty dumb that you have two thumbs, they're super strong, and yet on a normal keyboard they can only hit one key between them
18:01:21  left hand arrow keys?
18:01:32  yes left/right are on the left and up/down are on the right
18:01:51  also it has two \| keys
18:01:57  which took me like a year to notice
18:02:00  i have bound one to Esc
18:02:13  but now i mostly use Ctrl-[ for escape
18:02:19  " yes left/right are on the left and up/down are on the right" that seems a bit weird
18:02:27  but i guess you get used to it pretty fast
18:02:36  so umm, i suppose no nkro?
18:02:47  i think not
18:03:09  based on disassembling mine I think it would be fairly easy to replace the controller board
18:03:21  but the switches might still be wired up in a matrixey way that precludes nkro
18:03:22  http://www.amazon.com/Crayola-USB-EZ-Type-Keyboard/dp/B00167ZYMK/ref=sr_1_199?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1352916035&sr=1-199&keywords=keyboard
18:03:25  that looks nice

18:03:42  is it labeled in comic sans
18:03:52  teaching children qwerty :(
18:05:04  i tried to learn dvorak at some point but ä and ö were just too annoying.
18:05:18  whats wrong with teaching children qwerty? are you a dvorak snob?
18:05:24  (at least in the standard layout you get by pressing the dvorak button)
18:05:45  I use altgr-q for ä and altgr-p for ö.
18:05:46  or do you think we should just give them all touchscreens with swype?
18:06:06  ion: i'd prefer a single key
18:06:13  quintopia: qwerty sucks
18:06:20  dvorak is one of many non-shitty alternatives
18:06:35  i don't claim that dvorak in particular is awesome, just that qwerty sucks
18:06:48  that said my complaint is not very serious, because in the real world, being able to type in qwerty is very useful
18:06:50  you arent proposing an alternative
18:06:53  and so it's probably a good skill for your children to have
18:06:58  or providing an argument for that matter
18:07:14  what crawled up your butt and died
18:07:25  pizz
18:07:26  a
18:07:30  om nom nom
18:07:47  if i weren't at work i would send a very nsfw animated gif at this juncture
18:07:47  kmc: is that why you never learned esperanto?
18:07:58  i don't follow
18:08:22  quintopia: you like qwerty?
18:09:50  i dont see any problem with it really. i know they say dvorak is up to 10% faster with a year of practice, but keyboards are going to be slow. that's just how keyboarding is.
18:10:08  kmc: well, because the ability to speak in actual languages is more important than speaking esperanto, in real life
18:11:12  keyboards are slow? compared to what?
18:11:21  they're pretty slow compared to speech at least
18:11:35  but do you mean like other methods of doing things on the computer
18:13:20  compared to steno
18:13:31  and yes, speech
18:13:47  also they are not very ergonomic.
18:13:55  Arc_Koen: also esperanto is just boring
18:14:02  yet another romance language
18:14:08  might as well learn a romance language people actually use
18:14:24  whereas, I can see the interest of learning Lojban even though nobody uses it
18:14:32  or hungarian
18:14:43  kmc: I hope you're not one of those Lojban nerds!
18:14:51  erk, you jsut said that
18:15:32  quintopia: can you teach a computer to read steno? would be pretty cool
18:15:36  i don't know any lojban
18:15:41  oo i love lojban
18:15:43  learned a tiny bit a long time ago and then forgot
18:15:45  Lojban seemed very interesting but I have decided not to try to learn it until I speak Chinese, Russian, Arabic, German, and at least five other languages
18:16:16  and since this condition is probably never gonna be fulfilled in this lifetime... :)
18:16:31  oklofok: steno machines *are* computers, but again, plover can steno from a regular nkro keyboard
18:16:39  its foss too
18:17:17 -!- zzo38 has joined.
18:17:23  ohh you mean that sorta steno
18:17:58  i thought you meant just writing shorthand with pen.
18:18:22  Do you know how to write shorthand?
18:18:31  i think steno is faster and more ergonomic than any penbased method
18:18:31  no
18:18:52  learning curve is superhigh tho
18:18:59  so about steno, do you actually write all the data?
18:19:47  data?
18:20:01  like can you write asdf8
18:20:09  sure
18:20:14  or can you just write speech in some abbreviated... okay
18:20:29  but if you want to write gibberish you have to do one stroke per letter
18:20:41  whereas real words are 1-4 strokds per word
18:21:05  hmmhmm
18:21:19  so you can actually use stenos as everyday kbs?
18:21:32  yeah
18:21:43  miranda knight uses it for everything
18:21:52  stenoknight.com
18:21:57  i know a guy who uses half his keyboard, as chorded steno input

01:42:24  that can be useful for instance for interpreters for languages like ETAS or Circlefuck
01:42:51  now what should I call it? "buffer.ml"? "circular.ml"?
01:43:15  given that it will give its name to the circular buffer type

02:00:25  note that I know of
02:00:28  not*
02:00:57  I do use some dirty stuff sometimes, like interrupting for loops using exceptions
02:02:23  (in fact I don't consider it dirty at all - when a for loop is preceded by the declaration of an exception named "Interrupt_loop of (something)" I consider it's explicit enough

03:34:34  Isaac Newton is on the list of people purported to have had sex.
03:35:11  is it definitively established that he didn't?
03:36:13  I think he at least claimed to be
03:36:23  erm, be a virgin
03:36:54  he also claimed to know where the temple of solomon was and that the world would end in 2060

05:39:05  huh, are circular lists that common in haskell?
05:39:20 -!- segorev has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep).
05:39:36  Why not?
05:39:39  while True: yield "foo"; yield "bar" or something.
05:39:51  Haskell lists aren't just data structures; they're control structures.
05:39:59  A list is vaguely equivalent to a loop.
05:40:28  def foo(xs): while True: for x in xs: yield x
05:40:33  Neat
05:40:47  ion: Sure, but this is one-liner-land.
05:41:01  itertools might have it
05:41:01  There are essentially no oneliners in Python. ;-)
05:41:12  It only lets you use the layout syntax.

05:42:12  hah?
05:42:41  Yeah, itertools has cycle()
05:42:57  How pretty: http://docs.python.org/2/library/itertools.html#itertools.cycle

18:40:32  if you eat it, you die!
18:40:39  if you eat nothing
18:40:51  no
18:41:01  have you fed sgeo btw?
18:41:01  pretty sure it is elliott guys
18:41:07  hehe
18:41:09  yea
18:41:55  hi elliott 
18:43:07  i was going to guess "cock"
18:43:11  that guy is crazy: http://toastytech.com/files/95browsing.html

18:44:30  how old/new is SeaMonkey 1.1.20pre?
18:44:54  olsner: seamonkey 1.1 uses same rendering engine as ff2
18:45:16  how old is ff2?
18:46:18  ah, 2006, that's not too bad
18:47:05  cmon.. everything changed in the past six years
18:47:45  nah, not really
18:48:33  the folks started to read the documentation of javascript
18:48:56  and that changed everythign
18:49:20  no really. i begin to like it
18:52:26  there is a young demo scene growing out there.. well protected from sight by shitty seo configuration
18:54:33  kmc: is your cock greater than god?
18:57:16  oh yeah
18:57:23  bigger than jesus
19:01:16  that is a real oldskool reinvented method of getting things 'animated'..
19:01:27  affecting the palette! http://www.effectgames.com/demos/canvascycle/
19:01:35  really like it
19:04:01  cmon guys tell me you're shedding tears of joy now
19:09:59  yeah these are nice
19:12:26  it's not just "reinvented", these images were actually created 20 years ago
19:12:30  http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/joe/Old_School_Color_Cycling_with_HTML5
19:13:19  yea. but this time iT
19:13:28  it's donw with canvas and js
19:14:03  which is not the point
19:14:23  does anything, like, have a point, man?
19:15:16  The important point is that the colours in the pallete are changing smoothly rather than just changing positions
19:15:33  is that also how they were originally displayed on PC hardware
19:16:01  the magick was done by these genious potheads peeking and poking some values around the memory to make it happen
19:16:12  and that is what i always adored
19:17:06  don't know if they all died in between or what
19:17:08  Well, when you change the VGA palette, it's not a direct memory access
19:17:12  You have to use the OUT instruction
19:17:19  you're boring me
19:17:23  thank yo
19:17:32  haha
19:17:33  The genius part is changing it continuously rather than setting it once and then drawing what you want
19:17:54  If you changed it fast enough, you could get more than 256 colours on the screen
19:18:03  the genious part is some you or me never reach
19:18:10  dongs
19:18:23  hagb4rd: Once you know about it, it's easy to do
19:18:29  But thinking it up probably isn't
19:18:36  yes you can go know and copy what you have learned
19:18:46  but stop pissing on my grave
19:18:59  what are graves for if not pissing
19:19:05  okay
19:19:07  i wonder if anyone has a functional urinal as a gravestone
19:19:11  that would be pretty cool
19:19:14  subvert the blah blah
19:19:22  kmc :D
19:19:32  okay
19:19:40  I'm impressed with the artist that made the pictures
19:19:55  in some of europe they have these public urinals where are desparately needed in america
19:20:59  If you click on options, you can see how the palette entries change
19:21:12  the ones that are just like one huge piece of plastic with + cross section, shaped into four urinals
19:21:48  hehe
19:22:04  catch me if i fall :)
19:22:17  kmc for president!
19:22:53  okay.. thank god(or elliott) we don't need a president here
19:22:57  kmc: Are you going to have your grave be an urinal?
19:23:13  probably not
19:23:39  no.. before he dies we will overthink overthrow these ideas
19:23:56  and maybe than we come to the conclusion to make it an urinal
19:24:12  then
19:24:22  shit. always do that wrong
19:24:30  then than shizzle
19:24:52  shizzle for rizzle
19:25:00  righty right

19:35:51  we have talked much bout elite here..did't we?
19:37:23  i do not prefer a genre.. but to give you some names: ian bell, john romero, carmack, molyneux, warren spector.. or lord british richard garriott :>
19:37:47  hagb4rd, uh i don't know what you're so eager about, it's just hype from a has-been yearning for his glory days
19:38:05  sorry, hype and the promise of multiplayer
19:38:19  hagb4rd: i dont know those names really
19:38:20  yea.. and i hyped it
19:39:11  and a lot of talking about procedural generation like it's a panacea in an age when skyrim runs on standard hardware
19:39:16  no. i won't talk about sensuality with tc machines as you are hoover
19:39:26  not this time ;)
19:39:51  i'm not sure if i want to discuss your robot fetish anyway
19:39:55  y do u ask anyway quin?
19:40:52  it's that we shall never forget things beeing setup for us.. not us for the things
19:40:59  nah..i did it again

20:29:40  it has the old 8½ windowing system instead of rio
20:30:15  wasn't 8½ worse than rio in every way tho
20:30:49  do you mean from user's or developer's perspective?
20:31:00  idk
20:31:00  both
20:31:06  rio code is pretty simple iirc
20:31:48  (btw rio was released in 2002)
20:32:01  well
20:32:02  so?
20:32:17  I thought you were thinking why it didn't have rio

22:23:33  @messages
22:23:33  oerjan said 19d 9h 21m 11s ago: that doesn't quite fit my intuition of "reversible" as it seems at best injective and not bijective. btw have you looked at Kayak?
22:23:34  quintopia said 13h 59m 36s ago: it starts at the beginning of the program, just like the instruction pointer.
22:24:00  ok
22:24:36  kmc: about your "circlejerk.ml" comment: was it just a joke in reaction to something I had said, or do I really behave like a jerk?
22:24:51  no you don't, sorry
22:25:00  ok thank you
22:25:02  there was discussion of circular buffers
22:25:15  and i was like "hmm, what's like circles but funny? circlejerks, because penis"
22:25:21  this is roughly how my mind works
22:25:52  I'm not sure I get the pun but at least I'm sure now :)
22:25:54  Arc_Koen: trying to interpret things kmc says?
22:25:56  funny joke!!
22:26:00  :3
22:26:02  thing is with irc you never know how other people perceive you
22:26:06  yeah
22:26:07  3:
22:26:07  i understand
22:26:18  I can confirm this is a good first-order approximation of kmc's mind.
22:26:20  i just assume kmc hates everyone
22:26:28  nooooo i like you all
22:26:48  what, even Vorpal
22:26:54  ok i guess he isn't actually annoying nowadays
22:26:55  pretty sure
22:26:59  ok i thought of someone else but they're in the channel
22:27:00  so i can't say it
22:27:02  haha
22:27:05  It's funny and a bit depressing when elliott and kmc start talking about the Big Bang Theory (TV channel)
22:27:09  *show
22:27:10  it's not itidus is it
22:27:22  atriq: fsvo talking about equal to idly dissing

22:27:25  also didn't that happen like once

22:27:39  Is it me

22:44:31  Perry Bible Fellowship
22:45:10  I'm not sure about "central figure"; though I did get the feeling from the posts that he's very proud of his git prowess.
22:45:10  a shameless self-promoter who has latched onto the free software movement and declared himself a central figure despite doing fuck all
22:45:40  Oh, that guy
22:45:54  I'm quite proud of my git prowess
22:46:00  That eric raymond guy
22:46:05  With a funny face
22:46:07  wink-wink, nudge-nudge?
22:46:19  http://sprunge.us/NAKQ mainly from that.
22:47:33  https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a2/Esr.jpg
22:47:42  i wonder what esr's ego measures in wolframs
22:47:56  5 megawolframs
22:48:01  FreeFull: uh
22:48:05  FreeFull: the scale tops out at 1
22:52:06  "I'll do the merge work - I have a *lot* of experience at this sort of thing and in general at making VCSes do tricks. It won't take long."  Also that. But I can't find the message where his advertised-in-advance highly clever script for CVS-to-git conversion was published; it was about eight lines around a "git cvsimport".
22:52:53 -!- Jafet has joined.
22:53:49  he wrote a program to scrape your project data out of sourceforge or whatever
22:54:03  which was like 2000 lines of perl using regexes to 'parse' HTML
22:54:18  and it got posted to Hacker News
22:54:28   Man, the robotfindskitten dev list has been *full* of ESR lately.
22:54:30  my condolences
22:54:41  the half of the site that hadn't heard of him was like "uh, this is ok for a beginner, but you should really learn about parsers and code style and stuff"
22:54:58  and the other half was like "This is ESR!!!!! He wrote the book about how to be a hacker! His code is genius!!!!!"
22:55:04  was the other half saying but it's ERIC s. RAYMOND  don't you KNOW who that IS
22:55:09  yep
22:55:34  fizzie: so is esr actually on the rfk devteam :(
22:56:35  Ah, here's the "good tool"; http://sprunge.us/bPVd (Or maybe ESR wrote git cvsimport? I don't know.)
22:57:45  elliott: I guess; he sent a few patches and has been really active about this repository thing. That probably qualifies.
22:58:08  which reinforces my dedication to avoid self-identifying as a 'hacker'
22:58:11  fizzie: i like his html signature
22:58:25  kmc: it's ok that's what esr "i am a hacker" esr tells people to do anyway
22:58:33  really?
22:58:37  kmc: yes
22:58:41  shit
22:58:42  kmc: hacker is a title of honour!!
22:58:43  now i'm a hacker :(
22:58:45  people have to bestow it on you
22:58:52  don't worry ur code is shit lmao im never going to call you a hacker
22:58:56  aim hecked
22:59:12  i thought the main way you get to be a hacker is to argue on hacker news about what it means to be a hacker
22:59:18  and also to care a lot about what paul graham and esr say
23:00:35  WordPress.com accepts Bitcoin (en.blog.wordpress.com)
23:00:45  oh my god i always wanted to give wordpress.com money!!
23:00:47  thanks hacker news
23:01:01  (jesus christ the author's picture)
23:01:55  Though the whole rfk-dev has been totally quiet since Nov 8. Maybe ESR is on a tour somewhere?
23:01:58  I don't even know why I'm on the list, it's not like I have anything to do with the "POSIX version".
23:02:09  fizzie: did they ever add you to the site
23:02:13  maybe esr vetoed it
23:02:18  "that guy made fun of me on IRC once!!"
23:02:44  They did, as first of N new ports that were going to be revealed.
23:02:46  Phantom_Hoover: apparently everybody loves eric raymond is still stuck on its last comic which was a joke about how it hadn't updated for a year
23:03:10  Then K, where K < N, actually were, and things again quieted all the way down.
23:03:29  Until these recent happenings.
23:04:13  http://robotfindskitten.org/aw.cgi?main=software.rfk#ti86 -- there it is.
23:05:26  i feel left out, having never used a TI calculator
23:05:29  jesus, that has almost as many ports as Doom
23:05:55  in the uk we just use casios
23:07:18  We have "the TI crowd" and the "crowd HP the" (it's a RPN joke), and they're very antagonistic.
23:08:04  wouldn't it be "HP crowd the"
23:08:10  "a op b" becomes "a b op", after all
23:08:34  I'm not sure what the words in question do. But anyway.
23:09:04  I had a TI-86 just because there was a whole-class discount order thing; I didn't really know anything about the camps back then.
23:10:08  The calculator scene might be very different these days though.
23:10:50  I know one person with a TI
23:11:14  TI has gone fancy (ARM?) with the... TI-Nspire series, and from what I hear HP now bundles infix mode in their calculators, though it's still just optional.

23:37:35  Arc_Koen: Because it never became a space soap opera, like all the other sci-fis are now.
23:38:02  to say the truth I haven't been wathing that much sci-fi
23:38:42  a friend convinced me that stargate was so great, and got me hooked up
23:38:53  one of the first episodes he showed me was "window of opportunity"

23:40:01  There's a reason why it got canceled at S10 :)
23:40:10  figured that much
23:40:12  The whole Auri thing is "... Why haven't we been canceled yet? We wrapped up all conflict!"
23:40:15  When they'd totally expended their main enemy and were just grasping for straws, that was the end.
23:40:36  the final battle was somewhat boring as well
23:41:02  Naw, you haven't seen the movie w/ whats-his-face yet, THAT'S the final Goa'uld battle.
23:41:04  and I must say I liked the original replicators and it's a shame they went down that easy
23:41:16  oh, the Ark of Truth movie?
23:41:25  oh no, are you in goa'uld land again
23:41:39  yeah I figured since it seemed to have been shot in 2008 I had to watch the series to the end first

23:42:08  (that's kinda the issue with the replicators: they made them so powerful that it's always a "all or nothing" thing)

23:44:48  but that was a huge disappointment. the wraith seem better than the auri but still way less interesting than the goa'uld
23:45:00  and I suspect they've been using one actor to play *all* the wraith
23:45:44  (though that would explain why the lower-ranked wraith all wear a mask that hides their face completely-
23:46:47  The wraith were at least invented as more than "Oh shit, we still need to make episodes?.
23:48:05  "Also, you probably shouldn’t bring pot with you to the federal courthouse"
23:48:24  No, *really*?
23:48:37  ah federalism
23:48:59  this is surely what the founding fathers had in mind
23:49:06  but can i smoke up at the post office???

23:49:28  Everyone *knows* the Founding Fathers wanted a strong central government.
23:49:31  Arc_Koen, but have they kidnapped crichton and aeryn yet
23:49:36  who
23:49:59  Which is why they put in the interstate commerce clause!
23:50:00  in boardwalk empire the prohies set up at the post office because it's the only federal building in atlantic city
23:50:08  Phantom_Hoover: OH U
23:50:12  possibly in real life as well
23:50:29  do you mean, velociraptors' crichton?
23:51:42  mitchell, apparently

23:57:28  (I'm gonna assume claudia black portrays that weird alien girl who's fond of daniel jackson and dresses like a dominatrix)
23:57:29  haha
23:57:36  correct

23:58:19  I'm starting to believe she's gonna replace major carter
23:58:33  Arc_Koen, oh, she hasn't changed too much since farscape then
23:58:50  the beginning of episode 4 was *so* expected
23:59:02  p/win 1
23:59:20  which is episode 4/
23:59:21  ?
23:59:31  the one after they solved the initial intrigue
23:59:47  ...
23:59:48  which one
23:59:51  that is, episode 1-2-3 deal with going to avalon and into another galaxy
23:59:59  what's it called

2012-11-16:

00:00:05  and at the end of episode 4, she takes the cuffs off
00:00:13  no, at the end of episode 3, sorry
00:00:18  and episode 4 starts with her leaving
00:00:36  with unsurprising "oh hey I was hiding an artefact in my pocket" scenes
00:00:43  ah
00:00:43  and then daniel jackson collapses
00:00:46  and she's back
00:00:50  *shocker*
00:01:04  was he an artefact-powered robot
00:01:08  and then the opening sequence starts, and that's where I am
00:01:59  but there is a goa'uld glider in the opening sequence, that's... disturbing
00:02:12  though I guess they should be called "jaffa glider" now, or something
00:02:35  so these goa'uld haven't invented the aer
00:02:37  oplane

00:02:56  wooooow Amanda Tapping is still in the sequence
00:03:06  that's weird
00:03:28  well from what I could gather from the 8 first seasons the goa'uld haven't invented anything
00:03:42  they just stick around for millenia and took stuff from about every culture in the galaxy
00:03:50  except the airplane?
00:04:17 -!- sirdancealot has joined.
00:04:20  and then 3 people from earth discover the stargate, and a couple years later, the goa'uld are all dead
00:04:35  "it was an accident, we swear"
00:04:55  yeah they have a tendency to start all-out galactic wars by accident
00:05:21  actually that's how season 9 starts :(

02:30:48  random thought of the day before I wish you sweat dreams:
02:31:19  if I give my blood every other month until I'm too old
02:31:40  sweat dreams
02:31:43  is there a risk to develop a left elbow cancer?

02:32:31 -!- Arc_Koen has quit (Quit: Gateship. It's a ship. It goes through the gate!).
02:38:13  is "nondeterminacies" a word

02:47:00  arc wished us sweat dreams?
02:47:17  "the gross version of wet dreams"
02:47:23  or even "nightmares"
02:48:05  haha
02:50:11  and you want indeterminacies probably
02:50:26  i think i'm still not allowed to give blood
02:50:50  i'm ineligible until next november
02:51:18  i think indeterminacies means something slightly different
02:51:29  i want to talk specifically about the parts of a system which are nondeterministic, rather than just the ones whose state i don't know
02:51:34  granted that is something of a subjective distinction
02:52:46  then say "nondeterminstic subsystem"

07:07:17  The phone dial thing.
07:07:39  it's just the sound of dialing a phone

07:10:21  I'm sure I haven't heard it, but I have heard of it.
07:10:32  Just not often enough to recognize the number.
07:11:03  wow you decoded it
07:12:00  I'm a bit sad I didn't get to decode it from a waveform.
07:12:11  It would've felt so CSI-ish, I believe.
07:12:37  "It's in redbook. Fortunately, I speak redbook!"
07:12:51  (This was not a request for making a waveform with some other DTMF digits, I've got actual work to do.)
07:13:28  DTMF decoding was one of the Matlab exercises on the introduction-to-DSP course, I think.

18:09:09  Trivia: GEDCOM doesn't support people having more than 999 children
18:11:49  i wonder how many have had that.
18:13:26  i recall that a significant fraction of asians are decended from the same man, theorized to be genghis khan.  although that doesn't mean he'd have had to have that many directly.
18:13:34  *descended
18:14:18  I heard 0.5% of everyone, and 5% of Asians
18:14:25  He did rape, pillage, and burn a lot.
18:14:32  If he focused on the first, he could maybe manage it,.
18:16:34  if you look far enough into the future, odds are extremely high that either everyone alive is descended from you, or nobody is

18:18:09  kmc: 93.2 may be a more correct approximation, but it would mislead you into believing the answer is exactly 93.2
18:18:37  whereas everyone knows what 93.1999999999999 means!
18:20:05  kmc: would it be possible that every person x from generation (far enough into the future) is descended from *every* person y from generation (present)?
18:20:22  unlikely
18:20:26  some people will have their line die out
18:20:28  assuming we dump those who don't have kids
18:20:35  even if you have kids, your kids might not
18:20:54  Arc_Koen: obviously it should use interval arithmetic by default
18:20:55  there are also isolated groups, like the sentinelese.
18:21:00  no, I mean, if my kids don't have kids, then we dump my kids, thus I don't have kids, thus we dump me
18:21:25  (sad story)
18:22:38  oh
18:31:31  it might be possible that for some pair of generations, everyone who has descendants has all of the others as descendants

18:33:19  of course that's what should be expected when being overconfident and putting raise (EXPLOSION) everywhere where something might go wrong, with no indication as to *what* went wrong

18:34:44  what language is it that uses "raise" to throw exceptions?
18:35:02  Ocaml does
18:35:06  ah
18:35:59  C does… ^^
18:36:12  you can also use    failwith "some text here"   , which is equivalent to    let _ = raise (Failure "some text here") in ()
18:36:50  :t raise
18:36:51  Not in scope: `raise'
18:36:59  that is, it is equivalent to    ignore (raise (Failure "some text here"))

19:11:15  they have complete control over their territory and its foreign policy and trade
19:11:19  why no one tell me about this https://github.com/orangeduck/CPP_COMPLETE

19:40:03  But anyway
19:40:26  Running oerjan's Thue-Morse sequence program, it printed 0 then got caught in an infinite loop
19:40:30  So I tried to debug it
19:40:55  It printed "011" and errored trying to print an invalid character
19:42:18  And because the code is awful, I'm gonna clear it and try again

19:44:21  oerjan: do you agree we blame this on your Thue-Morse sequence program?
19:44:28  I do not
19:44:54  that's why I asked Oerjan
19:47:20  well is there any interpreter which _does_ run it with the intended result?
19:48:03  mines do
19:48:12  good, good.
19:48:19  but they did have some problems the first times they encountered it
19:48:20  in which case, no.
19:48:50  what, just because one or two interpreters interpret it correctly, you assume there is nothing wrong with it?!
19:49:05  sure, that's the standard policy, right?
19:49:46  what if the interpreters are wrong and it cancels out?
19:50:18  then everything explodes in gamma rays.  also standard policy.

21:18:03  Okay, the Fueue program that should print the alphabet is instead printing out ^A, \-91
21:19:51  Arc_Koen, could you send me a run-through of the first couple of hundred steps of that program?
21:20:23  for some values of "a couple", yes
21:20:54  Does that include "a couple" == 2?
21:21:40  Or "all of them"
21:22:15  uh, well
21:22:24  truth is I don't have an option to count the number of steps
21:22:36  so I'll try to interrupt it before it overflows my window
21:23:08  Could you do "fueueinterpwhatever > file", and send me the file?
21:23:28  I don't think I wanaa do that directly
21:23:41  unless you can provide me with knowledge on how not to create an infinite-length file
21:24:22  or can I do ./fueuec --print ')$2[)$--------2~)~~[)[)~(~[~[$~H~]~)%+~91-):]~1+:])]]~[$~H~])%+-91)[65][65]' > file   and then still halt at any time with ^C or ^D ?
21:24:40  wait, I seem to remember having that conversion with you a couple months ago
21:24:48  I don't recall this
21:25:14  hey can I combine that with sprunge directly?
21:25:21  ok, probably not a good idea
21:25:57  oh wait, it's a finite loop
21:26:01  that was instantaneous
21:26:07  probably not 200 steps then
21:26:18  ok, how do I send that to you?
21:26:30  Some pasting service?
21:26:32  is there some nice way I can send an email directly from the shell?
21:26:32  Email?
21:26:47  Originally email was only sent from the shell, Arc_Koen
21:26:54  shocker
21:27:13  I don't think so?
21:27:13  Not without setting it up, at least
21:27:33  so can I do something like "email -from koen@stuff -to atriq@stuff -content Hello atriq how are you"?
21:27:36  pastebin is easier
21:27:37   /usr/sbin/sendmail
21:27:48  I'm gonna abuse that command!
21:27:57  It's not abuse, that's what it's there for X_X
21:30:30  https://github.com/zodman/dpaster
21:30:58  that looks incredibly complicated
21:31:13  there are about 30 options and none of them seems to be the recipient's mail
21:31:39  It will probably be easier to paste it somewhere
21:31:49  in fact, it almost looks like I'm supposed to know stuff about email protocols
21:32:00  Arc_Koen: You're supposed to pass in the email headers.
21:32:11  that's what I just said!
21:32:12  Just use dpaster from above or something similar
21:32:12  mailx is a thing
21:32:19  And then give atriq a link
21:32:26  I'm gonna use thunderbird for tonight
21:32:33  but one day I sware i'll know how to send an email
21:32:48  Arc_Koen: Dude, email headers are ASCII pairs, it's not even remotely difficult X_X
21:33:12  To: whoever@wherever.com\nFrom: whosinwhatsit@wherever.weee\nSubject: I will eat your brains.\n\nBody
21:33:44  And /usr/sbin/sendmail -t is the only option you want.
21:34:00  i am intimately familiar with this structure, it being that i use vmail for my email, which has you edit the email document directly ;D
21:34:43  also, i believe you meant "Subject: Re: Your Brains\n"
21:35:14  Subject: Lunch? (was Re: Your brains)
21:36:20  ok, well, email sent

22:45:08  Thank you
22:47:43  75.5 Mo
22:47:45  is that too much
22:48:09  What unit is a "Mo"
22:48:27  oh right
22:48:37  the o stands for octet, which is french for byte
22:48:44  Aaah
22:48:45  Heh
22:49:02  so, 1000000 bytes, or something
22:49:12  Could you pipe it through "head -n 1000" or something?
22:49:16  I never know whether it's 2^20 or 10^3
22:49:20  ok
22:50:45  sent
22:50:58  Recieved
22:56:41  75.5 mol
23:09:00  that's a lot of bytes
23:09:34  Especially seeing as it diverges from mine in about 12 lines
23:11:28  > 75.5*6e23
23:11:30    4.53e25
23:12:07   the o stands for octet, which is french for byte
23:12:08  joking right
23:12:29  well
23:12:29  how so?
23:12:37  i guess french might use octet where others would use byte but
23:12:42  octet is a term outside of french
23:12:51  and actually octet and byte have subtly different meanings that nobody cares about
23:12:57  SUCCESS
23:13:04  yeah, "octet" has an "eight" thing into it
23:13:30  Hmm, someone should use "octave" for something.
23:13:35  As far as I can tell octave = bit
23:13:44  but since "Mo" didn't ring a bell, I just assumed it was french
23:15:13  But you might be able to get away with octave = 12 bits?
23:15:29  Now I need to write a main action, test it, make a back up, and then mess with it
23:15:46  byte meaning 8 bits is like word meaning 16 bits except more so
23:16:19  thing is we really don't have another word for byte in french
23:16:22  i'm not sure what the distinction is between the machine-specific definitoins of byte and word, though
23:16:38  other than that byte got fixed to 8 bits and people still needed a term for one unit for the machine
23:16:53  (which is ok, because anyone caring about the distinction would do their work in english anyway)
23:16:55  People use "word" to mean 32 or 64 bits, though.
23:17:04  Sometimes they prefix it with "machine" or something.

00:00:35  df?
00:00:41  Is that the bf derivative that comes after cf?
00:01:25  yes
00:01:28  anyway
00:01:53  i realised that my minecart design means i have to completely break the system if i want to actually put a stop in

00:10:23  Is printing business cards as the backs to playing cards brilliant or terrible?
00:11:28  Depends on whether your identify yourself as "the Joker"

00:17:50  Gregor, brilliant but i suspect expensive
00:19:12  Phantom_Hoover: I benefit from the fact that I have near-zero use for business cards. I just need enough for those rare few opportunity when somebody asks.
00:19:29  so
00:19:38  you'll be left with a pack of cards with some of the cards missing
00:19:49  Eventually I'll be left with no cards X-D
00:20:10  Believe it or not, if I wanted a deck of cards to /play/ with, I wouldn't be putting my business card on the back.
00:20:55  why
00:20:58  that would be amazing

00:34:55  how about on the front?
00:38:59  They're playing cards.
00:39:04  The front are playing card fronts.
00:41:17  well by that logic, the backs would be playing card backs

00:57:24  Clearly, these cards are half a playing card
00:57:44  In order to be a full deck, Gregor needs to print cards with a playing card back and a business card front

01:06:14  http://esolangs.org/wiki/Betterave
01:06:30  in your opinion, what does [ | ] evaluate to?
01:06:34  the last iteration of the loop?
01:06:41  a robot butt
01:07:20  or does it *not* evaluate (as in, evaluate to some trash value, that result in an error when used as an argument to another expression)
01:07:27  ok I'm gonna go with that
01:07:35  not coincidentally known as "bottom"

01:17:15  why are you frowning
01:18:43  Because someone came in here and then left
01:18:56 -!- nooodl has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
01:20:39  well it's obvious they were in here for the other kind of esoterica
01:24:11  "Brainfuck derivatives (129 members)"
01:24:15  outch
01:27:48  can we have my table thing
01:27:51  that was a good idea
01:28:57  especially because anyone trying to add their own substitution has to directly acknowledge that they are just adding 8 more symbols to a table
01:34:59  Not if I make the following BF derivative! BF -> my derivative separated by semicolons. + -> ++; - -> --; , -> ,,; . -> ..; < -> <<; > -> >>; [ -> [[; ] -> ]]
01:35:08  That's not just 8 symbols added to a table.
01:35:21  ...I may have equated symbols with characters.
01:35:51  also you forgot a semicolon on ]].
01:36:50  I did not intend to translate BF symbols into things containing semicolons, they're just separators in my description. Doesn't really matter though.
01:37:10  8=D, 8==D, 8===D, 8====D, 8=====D, 8======D, 8=======D, 8========D
01:37:33  that would be better than a few of the derivatives currently posted
01:37:51  how about one that used various numbers of swastikas
01:38:01  would that be the worst one
01:39:31  maybe
01:39:47  idea: fungoid with swastika-based control flow
01:40:29  fungoid on a continous plane, and the only control mechanisms are variously resized and spun swastikas
01:40:31  Phantom__Hoover: how can it be?
01:40:48  what bike said i guess
01:41:54  could call it, i dunno, Meatspin
01:42:41  recently my friend came up with an idea of a language with only the high level operations (like image resizing) and no low level operations (like addition)
01:43:16  what's high level and what's low level
01:43:19  i'm not sure i'd distinguish those as high/low level but right
01:43:43  primitive is probably a better word
01:44:02  Phantom__Hoover: hmm, if you prefer you can say domain-specific and general operations, but anyway.
01:44:03  what if you were running this on a specialized Photoshop-oriented processor, huh
01:44:10  something like that
01:44:10  language in which addition is implemented in terms of image resizing
01:45:04  or, we somehow have 2D FFT and convolution but no pairwise multiplication. XD
01:45:23  that *is* an easy example however
01:46:28  the only arithmetic operation is like the ackermann function
01:46:58  the only arithmetic operation is the hyper operator?  that doesn't seem too difficult to work with, really
01:47:21  i'm tired and i don't know that many functions :(
01:47:49  also if you had fft maybe you could do multiplication with schonhage or something, might be fun
01:48:11  how about control flow
01:48:46  flow control > control flow
01:49:03  how about flow control
01:49:08  "now we're better"
01:49:35  monqy, elliott time for me to do the thing
01:49:43  monqy: which one is if statements and which one is ^S
01:49:45  help
01:49:53  Sgeo, what thing
01:50:02  the thing
01:55:51  Phantom__Hoover: I'm pretty sure if you do your big table we'll all support you
01:56:09  idk
01:56:28  elliott's been no fun since he got in charge of the wiki
01:57:05  we'll make a distraction so that he does not notice your addition!
01:57:13  hello
01:57:15  hey that should be an operation
01:57:24  "distraction"
01:57:29  no idea what it would do
01:57:42  disrupt numbers or something
01:57:52  move the pc to a random position for a few instructions

02:17:06  i had lots of dreams that i havent been sharing so i will share them now it'll be great
02:17:17  reverse chronological order
02:17:25  OK, if that you want
02:18:30  In the last dream, I had a friend whose boyfriend is really dumb at driving. we were riding with him driving and he tries to take a shortcut through the hayride racetrack but there's a dog show going on so it's filled up with dogs and it goes really slowly since we have to carefully avoid the dogs
02:18:39  and then there are people and they're sorta crowding so we have to wait for them to pass by
02:19:31  one of the people starts quoting a web series that exists in this dream called "super mario hat" that makes fun of people who make fun of people who like video games, but nobody gets it and they think he's insulting us, but they agree with the insults and gather around and form an agreement party
02:20:19  i'm snickering because even though "super mario hat" is not all that great it is amusing that everyone thinks he's serious while he's being so ridiculous and they also agree with him. he has to explain and the party disperses
02:21:14  in another dream there are two parts
02:21:35  monqy: super mario hat sounds amazing
02:21:40  imo: it should exist?
02:21:45  yes
02:22:09  first part is there's an artificial pool but it's really big and there's a boat in it and i'm on the boat.  I forget what goes on in the boat until an evil guy who's of high ranking status or something starts shoveling coal into the ventilation system and the boat goes topsy and rocks wildly a bunch before tipping over
02:22:29  whenever it rocked I went to the opposite sides and found a window so I could jump if it tipped so I did that and escaped
02:22:49  a bunch of other people escaped too idk if anyone died in there but a bunch of people's eyes got all messed up by air pressure or something
02:23:16  I think someone was surprised I took a window out idk how other people got out it's a mystery. someone got hit by something heavy on the way out but survived with messed up eyes
02:23:35  noting the high rate of eye injuries
02:23:45  anyway second part is I was in some sort of sequence of challenges and this one was titled something like "kill the mammot, making use of blinding it"
02:24:27  there were really big boxes (too high to climb) and huge rolls of tape on them, and you were given a pickaxe and you could let the mammoth out whenever you felt like it
02:24:41  was it kill the mammot or kill the mammoth
02:24:47  mammoth
02:24:52  also was the mammoth real. this sounds cruel!!
02:25:07  I felt sorta bad about oh jeez how will I feel kimming a mammoth can I go through with it &c &c but I didn't stop doing the challenge
02:25:21  monqy are you sure you don't have some sort of latent eye fetish
02:25:30  :(
02:26:04  my approach was knock down one of the huge rolls of tape, deflate it a bit so I could climb on it, use that to climb on the boxes, get above the mammoth chamber, release it, and now I have the height advantage and can jump on it and pick out its eyes
02:26:06  monqy............ its not right to kill a mammoth
02:26:09  i think you have poor morals!!
02:26:15  or dream monqy at least
02:26:22  I also throught of taping over its eyes but I'd be picking it to death anyway and picking out its eyes would probably be easier
02:26:26  hahaha i like how eyes came up
02:26:29  right after Phantom__Hoover brought them up
02:26:38  well I guess it is implicit in blinding it but still
02:27:23  I did some box leaping and tape stuff and got over to where the mammoth would be but then there was a fancy futuristic projector and someone came in the room and was like whats going on and dont touch that projector
02:27:36  so I gently moved the projector out of the way down to the dude and I forget the rest of what happened
02:28:04  and when writing down that dream when i wrote it down I remembered another dream I had with a sequence of challenges where my team had to kill a herd of elephants. did i ever describe that one
02:28:21  nop
02:28:22  that's basically all i remember at this point anyway.
02:28:22  e
02:28:31  do your dreams have lots of challenges
02:28:33  i ghuess there were hills or something in that dream
02:28:43  the dreams before this don't have so many challenges
02:28:55  oh right I should probably describe the dream I had last night before I forget it
02:29:50  It was a branching story of sorts wherein the main protagonist wore a suit of chocolate armour and the main antagonists were a talking dragon named "xtahua" and his absentminded professor friend
02:30:32  i wish i remembered dreams
02:31:17  the only branch I really remember was one in which the main protagonist, the professor, and xtahua, teamed up to manage a hotel
02:31:23  but it was like spooky or something
02:31:28  monqy: did xtahua talk like xtahua
02:31:32  yes
02:31:34  good
02:31:41  I occasionally remember dreams
02:32:30  another dream I had: I was playing a mario game but the overworld was platforming just like the levels and I beat all the normal levels but I also found a secret building
02:32:51  with secret doors for each world, with key puzzles above them, but you could enter regardless of what you put for the key puzzle and this weirded me out
02:33:23  http://www.dreamviews.com/f107/sgeos-dream-journal-53892/ http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/sgeo/
02:33:38  so I went into the door for world 1 and beat the level but then these really creepy drawn versions of all the mario characters spoke to mea nd told me I didn't have anough points, and repeated "you can't touch us to save us" and "you can't touch me to save me" a bunch of times, and then they vanished
02:34:18  I left the secret building and came back and the whole thing was different. the doors were scattered in hard to reach places but I got to I forget if it was the world 2 or 3 door but I played it and the same sorta thing happened but with different creepy mario characters
02:34:25  Did you touch them to save them?
02:34:36  no
02:34:37  I couldn't
02:35:23  monqy: is this why they removed secret doors
02:35:40  perhaps
02:36:45  another dream: I was time travelling or something in the bleak near-future where a bunch of people I know are dying and I forget exactly I was doing the time nonsense but yeah that's a dream
02:37:07  another dream: Idk if I was myself or someone else but I was at a party with my family and it was being hosted by this other family that was all mysterious or something
02:37:12  and my grreatest fear was vacuum cleaners???
02:37:14 -!- Phantom__Hoover has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
02:37:45  It started raining and everyone left but for some reason I stayed around??? Then the family came out and they referred to the rain as "fear" and my arms became vacuum cleaners and I became their slave
02:37:59  I went into their house and it was all dark and wherever I went anyone I found ran away from me
02:38:17  and there was a room with religious paraphernalia but whenever you looked away and looked at it again it was from a different religion
02:38:20  and sometimes it was wartime stuff
02:39:15  another dream: what I remember of it centers around going to a restaurant to meet some family-friends we rarely meet
02:39:43  for some reason we all brought camping gear with us but without bags to hold it, so I thought I'd be clever and put everything in my clothes holder so I only had to carry around one thing. more on this later
02:40:10  we got to our table which was really long and the othe family was at the far end, so we got seated, started drawing on our placemats (???), and swapped seats rotating around the table to greet them (???)
02:40:24  but then we ended up in the wrong seats so we had to sort out whose placemats were whose by how we drew on them
02:40:38  the menu wasn't a menu so much as a bunch of recipes for what they served but it was all really weird
02:41:14   and my grreatest fear was vacuum cleaners???
02:41:16  me . 2.
02:41:31  like they documented their secret sauce and it was something like "sour sauce" (??? i knew what this was in my dream so maybe I just don't remember the name), eggs that "missed their prime", ham that "missed its prime", and some other stuff
02:41:42  and the picture had this stuff poured all over apples
02:41:51  when the food was all over to leave the restaurant there werent any normal exits
02:41:57  we had to go through a futuristic hanging simulator
02:41:59  ok the concept of food that "missed its prime" in a recipe is
02:42:02  the funneist fucking thing
02:42:15  you put your head in and it simulated death by hanging but it's not supposed to actually kill you just simulate it
02:42:28  my head didnt fit so well and then it started crushing my head and it wasnt fun getting unstuck
02:42:56  anyway i looked back at my bag of stuff and it's all burnt because one of the things i put in it was my coal lantern with real fire that somehow existed and din't have any sort of safety preventing the heat from killing everything in my bag
02:43:02  did it hang you
02:43:13  no it just crushed my head a bunch and I escaped
02:43:16  imo this dream would make a good horror film
02:43:17  elliott, monqy, have you ever read DCs Say The Darndest Things?
02:43:21  anyway thats all i remember from this dream
02:43:23  whats that
02:43:24  http://www.dreamviews.com/f28/dcs-say-darndest-things-19509/
02:43:29  Thread on DreamViews
02:43:37  About bizarre things dream characters say.
02:43:40  oh
02:43:47  i have my own dreams for that sort of stuff
02:43:59  lessee wheres the next dream
02:44:03  really wish i had monqy's dreams
02:44:06  mine have all been lame recently
02:44:16  i have like
02:44:18  so many dreams backlogged
02:44:22  like the most recent even vaguely amusing thing was that time in a dream i was learning to play the electric guitar but
02:44:25  instead of the strings going vertically
02:44:27  they went horizontally
02:44:34  wow monqy
02:44:36  and they were super bendy vertically so you like
02:44:46  put your finger underneath one string, came out from underneath another one
02:44:48  wtf is with these ads
02:44:51  then pulled it up to the one you started with
02:44:52  and leave go
02:44:55  and that's how you twanged it
02:44:59  and that's how you played the guitar
02:45:08  maybe it wasn't electric come to think of it but yeah
02:45:12  "not very exciting"
02:46:02  ok i think i found it
02:46:33  I was in space with some friends fighting a space monster and one of them was like "alright we have to beat this guy and this is all the help we're going to get"
02:46:34  Someone told me they had a dream where the doctor asked him if he has ever been to the moon, once answered no, asked him to prove it.
02:46:44  I remember that dream.
02:46:52  but a bunch of other people showed up
02:46:59  and he was like "alright this is all the help we're going to get"
02:47:12  and then a cloud of space bees came in and stung the space monster and he said that thing again
02:47:19  and I was thinking to myself "no it isn't"
02:47:30  then a dinosaur on earth breathed a huge fireball that flew up into space and hit the space monster
02:47:33  and I thought to myself
02:47:38  "I knew the dinosaurs would help"
02:47:46  amazing
02:47:52  another dream:
02:48:14  I went to sleep for 2 weeks for some reason and when I woke up I had to go to some ceremony I forget what it was about and I guess some people thought I was dead I don't remember much of that
02:48:29  but then I got home and there was a really angry kid and he was driving in a flying car that made tornados and storms
02:48:56  my family had to flee so we jumped into the lakepond and we could breathe underwater and we swam to a secret underwater thing and my mother was like "ok we're going to stay here until this kid goes away"
02:49:11  she presented the food we had for our stay and it was little tiny broken stale doughnut pieces
02:49:32  but then there was another secret tunnel connecting to that that took us to grandmothers house so we thought we'd be safe there since the kid was after us
02:49:50  but then the kid came therea nd it turns out the kid was after my grandmother and i figured this out but my family didnt listen and refused to flee
02:49:55  so i fled but the kid was there
02:49:59  and something in the house explode
02:50:00  d
02:50:21  i watched as my family burned to death. i was able to save 2 of my sisters but they had really severe burns and their skin was all bubbly and stuff
02:50:24  the end
02:50:33  (i tried to save more but they died first)
02:50:40  inspiring dream
02:50:55  has your family ever burned to death irl
02:51:02  no
02:51:29  ok
02:51:31  that's good
02:51:34  another dream: the part I remembered: I was sleeping on a beach or something and people kept launching rockets near me that landed on the ground and then exploded
02:51:39  it was a birthday surprise or something
02:51:41  also how many sisters do you have........
02:52:01  that's a good surprise
02:52:03  I had a birthday like every 2 days and each birthday i get more prepared for the shenanegans everyone threw at me
02:52:34  i didn't like the explosions but i dodged them in a really stupid way. i just hopped around hunched over and spun around with my face facing the ground and even in my dream I thought to myself "this is really stupid"
02:52:46  oh i have 3 sisters and 2 parents
02:52:58  wow what a coincidence..... i have 2 parents too
02:54:09  more dream: I had to pee really badly so I snuck into a fancy restricted restroom but it was too fancy and I couldn't find anywhere to pee there was like a hot tub and all the stalls were really mysterious and fancy
02:54:23  so I went to akids playground bathroom but the bathroom was actually just structures in the playground that you pee into
02:54:31  and wherever I went there were kids watching me
02:54:48  oh I got that too
02:54:50  so i couldnt pee
02:55:05  oh it looks like i remembered another part of my dream but i describe it as "even stupider" i wonder what it was
02:55:08  for some reasons the architects in my dreams always forget to build walls around bathrooms
02:55:12  monqy: how was it restricted...
02:55:16  "like really stupid why would i even dream that"
02:55:18  elliott: idk
02:55:35  it looks like i dont describe it
02:55:43  hey do some of you guys have dreams that have been following you for a long time?
02:55:47  like, years
02:56:09  sometimes I have dreams that in my dream I sort of have a feeling I've had this dream before but really I haven't
02:56:24  well that's what I thought at first
02:56:25  i've had recurring dreams i think. i don't have them any more though
02:56:33  i stopped remembering dreams regularly years gao
02:56:35  *ago
02:56:50  i remember one nightmare i used to have quite frequently (i think??) was i'd be on a metal ladder
02:56:56  high up in the sky
02:56:56  but since it became very recurrent I started thinking about it while awake
02:57:01  like high up enough that if you looked down
02:57:04  it looked like a satellite map
02:57:07  so I'm pretty sure I've been having that dream for at least 8 years
02:57:10  not so high you could see the curvature of the earth
02:57:12  but high
02:57:18  and at the top a balloon
02:57:23  with someone else in it waiting for me
02:57:32  and i continue climbing up it
02:57:36  but instead it tips forward and falls
02:57:37  the ladder breaks at some point doesn't it
02:57:39  and then i wake up
02:57:45  ps the ladder isn't supported by anything or whatever
02:57:51  it's just hanging at the right angle somehow
02:57:52  a SPACE ELEVATOR
02:57:52  until it falls
02:58:24  wait, at the right angle, do you mean it's just like a ladder you'd raise to a wall?
02:58:35  as in, if you make the wall disappear the ladder would fall
02:58:55  yes
02:59:02  i guess it's actually resting on the balloon?
02:59:04  and the ground
02:59:04  that doesn't sound like something you'd want to use to climb to a balloon
02:59:08  its a dream Arc_Koen
02:59:13  another dream: I was at something between something between summer camp and normal school and there were a bunch of buildings out in a field and some of them were rooms from my house and one of them wa sthe rest of my house without those rooms
02:59:30  monqy: can you explain summer camp to me
02:59:34  i dont understand it
02:59:45  i got promoted to chair of the math club but then i got kicked out because of rumors i killed a man but i was accepted back in once they found out i only had a dream in which i killed a man and i did not actually kill a man
02:59:51  i forgot the dream in which i killed the man tho
03:00:11  monqy: did you ever kill a man
03:00:15  just checking
03:00:15  explaining that i didnt actually kill the man was very stressful for me and i was told that "killing a man isnt something you can just say sorry for"
03:00:18  i have never killed a man
03:00:24  ive killed bugs though
03:00:25  what about a woman
03:00:29  "coverin' my bases"
03:00:32  i've never killed a woman
03:00:35  never killed children
03:00:38  killed lots of bugs
03:01:21  anyway then evil clones started popping up and they had red eyes and I tried to convince people that they were just evil clones but they wouldn't listen
03:01:32  and then they became evil because the evil clones rubbed soap in their eyes
03:01:48  more eyes
03:01:50  I discovered that you can become non evil by washing the soap out with water
03:02:01  eventually everyone except me became evil ( I almost became evil but I washed my eyes)
03:02:11  then there was a montage of everyone being evil and chasing me
03:02:13  that must have hurt
03:02:37  they always had those thing in chem lab designed to wash your eyes in case you'd put something dangerous in them
03:02:41  I also remember there was a thing that because everyone thought I had killed a man I wasn't allowed to do anything at the camp until I had used my id info 14 times
03:02:46  looked like a torture device
03:03:00  you could sign in and stuff by holding a special sheet of paper near a magical thing that detected it and signed you in
03:03:16  hey had you had dreams where the whole universe was just an abstract board game?
03:03:21  nope
03:03:25  actually
03:03:26  maybe once
03:03:29  the recurring dream I had involved that
03:03:44  the dream i had where i fought shrek on a flying aircraft carrier might have qualified
03:03:59  but thats a different dream
03:04:03  a two-dimensional thingy, plus with a time dimension, and when I'm awake I just CAN'T figure out a way for it to make sense
03:04:21  and in the end the universe always lose
03:04:27  which is problematic
03:04:35  anyway also the parts of the camp that were my house had all the stuff in their rooms shuffled around and some were cleared out and had other stuff put in like arcade machines
03:04:38  and since I've been having this dream for years I know it'll come to that
03:04:57   the dream i had where i fought shrek on a flying aircraft carrier might have qualified
03:04:59  elabroaute now
03:05:00  I've never been able to prevent the universe from losing so I developed a strategy to prevent the universe from realizing it had lost
03:05:18  elliott: haven;t i already told you about this one
03:05:42  i'll...see if i can find it
03:06:13  yeah I found it in my logs of private query w/ you
03:06:23  i can repeat it tho
03:07:09  i'll just repeat all the dreams in this log since i dont think any of them were shared in here
03:08:09  first dream: I'm watching something on television (which I only realized later). It's a story about one of those "some shameful trait anonymous" clubs where the shameful trait is "I hate aliens"
03:08:16  yeah hum it's 4am here and I wake up at 8 tomorrow so I'm gonna go and have actual dreams
03:08:19  see you
03:08:20  It's the first meeting and I remembered two of the members' introductions
03:08:21  bye
03:08:32  they introduced themselves with stories about why they hate aliens
03:08:57  the first guy's story is that he's going to see this woman for I forget the reason but he was looking at her very closely because he'ls afraid she'll stab and kill him
03:09:02 -!- Arc_Koen has quit (Quit: have to quit now otherwise I won't be able to stop myself from reading your story!).
03:09:30  she invites him for wine on her sofa and pours him and herself each a glass; he starts sipping but she doesn't touch her wine, but rather rambles about how she really likes the wine and how it's great and how other wines aren't
03:10:10  mmm i'm starting to remember
03:10:12  despine not drinking anything, she gradually becomes more and more intoxicated and eventually things she's a bale of hay
03:10:26  forgot to mention: the guy's name is "Ichihot" which is significant later
03:11:27  Ichihot finds the whole hay deal really hilarious and starts laughing uncontrollably; the girl says she has to ventillate and staggers to another room and faints while Ichihot continues giggling
03:11:32  I don't remember what this has to do with aliens
03:11:35  next introduction
03:12:03  She introduces herself as Ichicold--my dream self found this hilarious and started laughing uncontrollably and I fell off of my dream sofa (this is how I know this was on a tv--and tells her story
03:12:35  when she was a kid she transfered schools and she was really upset because despite still getting adjusted she was required to tall all of the responsibility of any other student
03:13:01  one day it was ufo dance (sort of like a rain dance but with ufo) day so the whole school stood in the field in front of the schoolbuilding and danced and ufos appeared overhead
03:13:12  "tall" as in tall is a verb in your dream, or tall as in a typo?
03:13:13  Ichicold looked around and suddenly there were people with paper bags over their heads everywhere
03:13:29  oh I meant take, I think
03:13:36  yeah that was supposed to be take
03:13:51  monqy: btw was the tv show fictional
03:13:52  in the dream
03:13:56  yes
03:13:59  er
03:13:59  wait
03:14:00  no
03:14:01  wait
03:14:02  maybe
03:14:04  what do you mean
03:14:10  answer: idk
03:14:15  help ?
03:14:37  anyway, one of the paper bag people walks up behind her, taps her on the shoulder, she turns around startled, paper bag guy takes off his bag (he's male) and introduces himself as Alice
03:14:44  Ichicold screams for a minute straight and I wake up
03:14:47  (she really hates aliens)
03:15:29  how did you know it was a minute
03:15:40  I think it was actually "like a minute"
03:16:45  ok more dream. first part is the one with shrek
03:17:03  I'm on an aircraft carrier thing but it's flying?? And all the planes on it are buses with wings and they are in boxes
03:17:40  I was wandering around on the surface and spotted shrek there and he attacked me and everything became a grid and I had to move where I could throw a car diagonally and it had a 3x2 area of effect so I tried using that but shrek kept stepping out of range
03:18:13  eventually I backed him off the edge and he fell so I got in one of the box bus planes (to rescue him?? to finish the fight?? to make sure he dies?? idk) and tried flying it but it just slid off the side and fell
03:18:13  mmmm
03:18:24  monqy: you could say shrek was a
03:18:24   
03:18:25  oh wait that dream only had one part and that's it
03:18:25  chainsaw ogre
03:18:30  or what were they called
03:18:42  they were called chainsaw ogres but wheres the chainsaw here
03:18:59  well shrek is an ogre and i was just thinking stepping out of range of chainsaw ogres
03:19:01  I TRIED OKAY!!
03:19:05  ok
03:19:23  part one. it's friend day and during friend day my dad keeps pestering me about how he'll get me a new printer. end of part.
03:19:32  um
03:19:33  dont u mean part 2
03:19:40  no this is dream 2
03:19:40  or is this a non-linear dream
03:19:43  o
03:19:45  the other dream had only one part
03:19:48  ok
03:19:50  i messed up in the log
03:19:51  which threw me off
03:20:11  second part. I'm reading a video games webcomic (???) and wow it was amazing (???)
03:20:26  it was a party and there were lots of people and suddenly one by one some of them started dying
03:20:44  everyone freaks out and leaves except for the protagonist and his dim-witted sidekick who call up investagative forces
03:21:06  investigative forces look around and discover the cause was a bunch of unusual tf2 items with a sparkly effect
03:21:18  next panel is a tf2 inventory and I can't remember all the items but there was like
03:21:26   second part. I'm reading a video games webcomic (???) and wow it was amazing (???)
03:21:34  monqy: how did you not realise you were dreaming at this point
03:21:53  thats funny because its different in the log
03:21:58  21:28  I'm reading a VIDEO GAMES WEBCOMIC (ha ha ha) and wow it was amazing
03:22:01  21:28  all video games webcomics are amazing
03:22:24  monqy: you realise i was joking right ?
03:22:29  b/c : i was joking
03:22:29  yes
03:22:32  ok good
03:22:57  anyway continue
03:23:07  anyway the items were like unusual menoral, unusual spruce sapling, unusual chandelier, unusual questionable bamboo fragments (basically rotted snapped off segments of bamboo trees), unsuual d20
03:23:11  so the dim-witted sidekick says
03:23:22  WOW WITH ALL OF THESE SPARKLES WE COULD SURE HAVE A PARTY
03:23:38  and then, on its own panel, which was the last panel, and it was big (it was the punchline): the protagonist yells at him:
03:23:49  IT IS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT WE DO NOT HAVE A UNIFIED THEORY OF ORDER
03:23:57  i couldn't stop dream-laughing it was great
03:24:23  god
03:25:52  lesse wheres the next dream
03:26:15  dream: I was experiencing the future and the past at the same time and I was in everyones most traumatic experiences
03:26:26  but sometimes the subject wasnt there in their experience i was experiencing
03:26:29  they were missing
03:26:32  and they turned up dead
03:26:40  also when time stabilized i could hover when i jumped
03:27:03  i vaguely remember some more details but not enough to describe them :(
03:28:07  that dream sounds upsetting : (
03:28:38  another dream: what i remembered of it:
03:28:56  a dude puts this box on my head as punishment for doing something idk and it made everything green and dumb and I could see mathematicians in the sky
03:29:15  it turns out he was a gang member and didn't want me disbanding his gang and he was using me or something but it turns out i was actually just using him
03:29:23  and I took the box off after a while and he was so upset
03:29:49  same thing here with the vague details :( i wish i had remembered more
03:31:15  another dream: about a video game where a brother & sister with huge anime hair are deep in the woods at some friends house and they are going to go shopping and to the library but they get attacked by a swarm of really big bug things, and also the friends' mother is trying to sautee drugs for some reason
03:31:24  the bugs were really big but I forget how big they were, and they grew even bigger
03:31:43  it took me a lot of tries and I forget how I beat it but I think I kept the brother and sister inside the house but they ended up getting high oops
03:31:54  i think i have played this game
03:32:01  and hen they went to the library there was a big crowd and they saw someone who looked like their mother but with purple hair
03:32:02  or at least
03:32:02  i want to
03:32:06  they both tried hitting on her but they were high
03:32:14  i dont remember much else
03:33:02  more dream:
03:33:21  It had something to do with old tv. I was with relatives but somehow one of my friends was also there.
03:34:12  some things happened but idk exactly what they were because in the dream I remember thinking they were real events but happened but I went to see them happen again later so idk if they were just acting or what
03:34:47  that is quite vague
03:35:02  yeah I describe it more later but i dont remember much of the details
03:35:11  anyway I went to see these things but I was really tired in this dream so it was sort of hard.  I remember thifrst thing was obama talking to some people and it might have been a standup comedy routine?  He was cracking jokes but only a few were actually funny but they made it worth it
03:35:38  in the second thing the only thing I remember was this little girl spins onto the stage and there's a really stupid joke but i couldn't stop laughing it's an amazing joke (i dont remember it)
03:35:47  2 other things happens and my friend catches me and takes me to a cafe thingy
03:35:55  wait no
03:35:57  before the cafe
03:36:08  ion: Who's ion1?
03:36:19  I forget what happened but at one point I went through the events with friend and they seemed real that time too. anyway after that cafe happened
03:36:32  shachaf: Where?
03:36:49  friend orders me a drink and insists I have one too but I don't want one and he gets into a bit of a spat with the storekeep or w/e since he's broke and keeps stopping by and never paying
03:36:59  i kept staring at the menu and didn't want anything on it
03:37:12  ion: On GitHub.
03:37:20  but i got this instinctive feeling it was time for watching i love lucy on the tv which was apparently an extended-family tradition in dreamland
03:37:26  shachaf: Probably some asshole.
03:37:33  ion: he's "much cooler than u"
03:37:58  so i ran really fast towards the i love lucy house and my cousins were running there too and i started giggling but i covered my mouth and i jumped and flew into the house and sorta crashlanded onto one of its walls
03:38:00  You should add a digit after your nick.
03:38:17  not really a crash i grabbed something on the wall and let myself down and we all watched i love lucy together
03:38:35  shachaf: no u
03:38:36  is monqy still talking about his dreams
03:38:39  yes
03:38:42  i love monqys dreams!
03:38:49  meams
03:39:06  more dream
03:39:24  1) i was at an ice cream place but they only had really dumb awful flavors. the only ones i could remember are "meat" and "lobster"
03:39:46  2) in this dream world people's memories are stored in their teeth and the tooth serves as a protection for the memory so if your teeth go bad you start forgetting stuff
03:40:02  and i think there was some horror about losing teeth in that dream, like in the space dentist dream.
03:40:17  anything about eyes
03:40:20  monqy: did they have any vegetarian flavours
03:40:36  soy banana
03:40:44  shachaf: i forget
03:40:47  The vegetarian version of banana
03:41:05  i had a dream about an evil dentist who would extract people's memories
03:41:09  wait no that was a computer game
03:41:49  One of the characters in Psychonauts was a bit like that…ish.
03:42:12  U+2F75D 'BULLET WITH BUTTERFLY WINGS'
03:42:34  dream: first part: took place sometime after i was done with elementary school but i was visiting it anyway. a friend I had who was all about military stuff irl was instead obsessed with synths and told me all about them.
03:42:37  ion: yes, that one
03:42:37  kmc++
03:42:55  monqy: imo synths > military?
03:42:58  ye
03:43:01  sounds like your friend got... Dream Improved
03:43:17  monqy: have you ever seen this film eXistenZ
03:43:22  no
03:43:24  ok
03:43:36  the ending to the first part was something like they took a field trip to some shopping plaza but they just sorta gathered in the road/parkingspace and did stuff and i was like ugh this is dumb and wandered off but then i saw my dad come pick me up and i couldn't decide if i wanted to meet with him quickly and vanish or make it look like i was w/ the elementary school students
03:43:46  and i was like spinning or something?? i couldn't stop spinning so that settled that
03:43:55  in my dream i decided this was the worst possible outcome but it worked out
03:44:04  then we went to the shopping store, whcih is the setting for part 2
03:44:20  ion: Have you figured out Zipper?
03:44:42  before we got a cart there was a coin jar and my dad grabbed a bunch of coins from it and gave a few to me and went through the store tossing coins at alll the products on the shopping list instead of getting a cart and picking them up??
03:44:46  and the coins were weird too
03:44:59  nickels, quarters, and Bronze Dollars (like silver dollars but a bit bigger and also bronze)
03:45:08  shachaf: I haven’t looked at it yet, but i’ve been meaning to.
03:45:33  > zipper ("hello","world") % down _1 % fromWithin traverse % focus .~ 'J' % rightmost % focus .~ 'y' % rezip
03:45:35    ("Jelly","world")
03:45:47  i wandered off to find if there was anything i wanted and came across these ridiculous huge frozen lamb sandwiches that were really high up but i could read the labels and see the pictures
03:45:51  [nb i have never tried lamb]
03:45:54  [also brb]
03:45:54  elliott: Did I mention that we should have Functor => Apply => Applicative?
03:45:57  monqy: q:
03:46:02  are you making this all up on the spot
03:46:36  don't doubt monqy's dreams
03:46:38  they have a long history
03:46:42  obviously 'BUTTERFLY WINGS' should actually be a combining character
03:47:45  @ty bazaar
03:47:46  Not in scope: `bazaar'
03:47:51  :-(
03:47:52  @ty Control.Lens.Internal.bazaar
03:47:54  Applicative f => (a -> f b) -> Control.Lens.Internal.Bazaar a b t -> f t
03:48:23  In my computer I wrote about various dreams, both my own and others.
03:48:37  kmc: no these are real dreams i've had in the past and wrote down
03:48:51  in another irc channel and i'm grepping my logs
03:48:55  anyway uhh where was i
03:48:59  did you ever dream that you were dreaming
03:49:02  yes
03:49:04  and then you woke up and it turned out that you weren't
03:49:10  no
03:49:23  I've dreampt that I've woken up. Don't think there are actually dreams within dreams
03:49:28  shachaf: I also sometimes dream that I am dreaming, sometimes many levels.
03:49:37  monqy: what does other irc channel have that this one doesn't that it gets all your dreams :{
03:49:40  apart from probably being better
03:49:45  because #esoteric is p. bad
03:50:15  it's p. bad too but it has less of a focus and less people who are having conversations and stuff like that, and also im just neglectful
03:50:18  anyway
03:50:29  elliott: q: you know whats worse than #esoteric?
03:50:34  elliott: a: #haskell :'(
03:50:40  there were a few varieties of lamb sandwiches that I can remember: "red jalapeno", "pickle supreme" (the pickle on the sandwich on the cover picture looked like a cross between a green anchovie/sardine/thing and a slimy green bacon strip), and "ham"
03:51:15  anyway this family started crowding around and admiring the lamb sandwiches and was talking to a store attendant about how good they looked and the store attendand recommended them and i tried to escape but the more i tried the more they crowded so idk how i got out
03:51:21  are these sandwiches made by lambs or made of lambs
03:51:38  come to think of it, i don't know
03:51:39  but
03:52:08  ive never had lamb and they looked ridiculous so i wanted to try one but for some reason i didn't want to cary it and my dad had the cart?? so i got him over to the sandwiches
03:52:30  somehow i got one down even tho they're really high up and you're supposed to get a store attendant to do it
03:52:47  it turns out the lamb sandwiches were improperly taken care of and turned to sludge so we went to the service desk line
03:53:11   it's p. bad too but it has less of a focus and less people who are having conversations and stuff like that, and also im just neglectful
03:53:16  how can any channel have less of a focus than #esoteric tho
03:53:22  the service desk had this board behind it that showed the store's rating on various policies. there were 3 possible values for each rating, a lightbulb (best), a circled question mark (middle), and a frowny face (worst)
03:53:25  `welcome elliott
03:53:28  elliott: 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.)
03:53:31  "thats totally a focus"
03:54:24  this store got lightbulbs on all categories!!! the only cateogory i can remember is employree treatment, with frowny face representing "hard labor", question mark was "ethnic minorities labor", and lightbulb was "hobo labor"
03:54:54  there was a cartoon next to it about how the store was nice to everyone not just the "master race" so i guess this store or the rest of the world had a racist thing going on???
03:55:22  god bless this store
03:55:51  once it was our turn at the help desk my dad freaked out and ran off and i was a bit confused and then the lights shut off and red lights happened and there were alarms and police/security guards started running around shouting "guns!!!"
03:56:07  guns!!!
03:56:09  so i ran off too and all of the whiteboards that previously had product info now had sloppy pictures of guns on them and the word "guns!!!"
03:56:29  they were gathered around at the lamb sandwiches and apparently my dad dropped his 2 pistols (????) there??, and they were gone
03:56:38  does your family have guns
03:56:40  everyone has guns in america : /
03:56:41  no
03:56:51  weird
03:56:51  elliott: i dont have guns : (
03:56:52  are you sure !!
03:56:55  the lights went back to normal and everyone regrouped at like this pillar thing for a motivational speech
03:56:59  should i get some
03:57:10  i forget exactly what the speech was but i was thinking "man it'd be dumb and predictable if this guy had the guns"
03:57:19  then he had the guns and shot both me and my dad at the same time and i fainted
03:57:38  when i came to it turns out they were just bb guns and the bb had embedded itself in my muscle and it hurt
03:58:13  my dad advised removing it with scissors but watching out for this one vein that has to be connected properly or else you'll have improper flow of water or something and can survive for a few hours just feeling but then die and this has ended a lot of lives
03:58:25  i forgot what happened next and then i woke up and it still hurt for a bit the end
03:58:53  monqy: just feeling
03:59:18  oh
03:59:20  just feeling fine
03:59:51  in another dream i dreamed of accidentally putting raw egg in my fruit juice
04:00:08  and freaking out because i always thought putting raw egg in fruit juice was silly and for old people
04:00:14  and now i could get diseased from the raw egg
04:00:19  and my mother suggested cooking the fruit juice
04:00:45  you know what's annoying?  when i claim some phrase is ambiguous and other people try to refute my claim by telling me their personal interpretation of what it means
04:01:04  this doesn't happen to me
04:01:19  well maybe try harder
04:01:25  whenever their personal interpretation happens it's a clarification not a refutation ime.......
04:02:15  another dream: another "me driving badly" dream :(
04:02:32  the "twist" here is i had to deliver something to family-friend house and i kept hitting other cars and swerving off the road
04:02:35  and i had to pick the car up
04:02:38  place it back on the road
04:02:40  keep on driving
04:02:44  but at one point i lost the car
04:02:46  but then i found it again
04:02:52  at one point i just ramped off of another car
04:02:59  and i was like "uuuuuuuugh" because me driving badly dream
04:03:31  no i don't mean the person who originally used the phrase, just random people who have an opinion as to what it means and clearly their opinion is the only correct one
04:03:38  oh
04:03:41  kmc: of what your claim means or of what the phrase means
04:03:43  never mind though
04:03:45  AMBIGUOUS
04:03:48  this whine is too specific
04:03:51  to be appreciated by others
04:03:56  we apologize for the inconvenience
04:03:58  It's not specific enough!
04:04:04  You should give a specific example of a phrase.
04:04:24  oh here's the dream with the elephant herd:
04:04:25  And also a person we can h8 for it.
04:04:30  "communal h8"
04:04:57  by the time I woke up I couldn't remember enough of my dream to give an interesting account of it.  I guess in one part I was in a team trying to enter some competition and there were a bunch of challenges we had to pass
04:05:00   another dream: another "me driving badly" dream :(
04:05:05  the last time it was someone else driving badly tho?
04:05:07  ps do you drive badly irl
04:05:18  ive never driven a car i dont have a license
04:05:22  me too
04:05:41  for each challenge we could only have 2 team members trying it at a time and one of the challenges was killing a herd of elephants
04:05:59  i guesss that's all i remembered
04:06:05  next dream
04:07:07  "In the past few days I've had 2 dreams where I played 2 weird video games that don't actually exist in real life :'("
04:07:25  first video game dream: the game was something like you're visiting your relatives on a remote island and you;re there for 12 days
04:07:51  the game can end in a bunch of different ways depending on the stuff you do
04:08:12  I think I got one of the dumb bad endings and one of the "ok you played the game normally" endings
04:08:25  for the bad ending i went to my bed and slept through all 12 days
04:08:32  I remember a few things about the game though
04:08:47  like on the first night your grandmother dies and she's found in the bathroom with 3 blue candles lodged in her back
04:09:10  and another thing is if you kill your relatives you can collect your souls and give them to these clam soul receptacle things so they can be reborn and you can watch their dreams
04:09:30  were any of their dreams good
04:09:46  like i tried it with one of them and their dreams was this person that's just floating and he's all black and lumpy and instead of a face has a huge cavity covered up by a layer of weird stuff--think baleen hair
04:10:09  i think monqy remembers more things about his dreams than i remember about my entire life to date
04:10:36  next game dream: the part I remember is you're this girl and you have to get home but there's an explosion that happens on the way and for most endings of the game you have to get burned to a crisp but
04:10:51  i was going for the secret ending where you have to duck into a farm
04:11:14  and walk through the farm and there's a shack in the farm and you go in the shack and there's this guy who comes up to you on a tractor and I said hi and he made a really scary face so I ran away
04:11:17  monqy: did you play Myst III: Exile
04:11:22  I don't think so
04:11:28  oh
04:11:35  what about elliott
04:11:36  or kmc
04:11:40  no
04:11:49   i think monqy remembers more things about his dreams than i remember about my entire life to date
04:11:53  and there was an angry cat but there was also a nice cat so I got the nice cat to distract the angry cat and ran through and passed by a shy cat and it led into the girl's room and you prop yourself up on your disembodied legs which were waiting for you at the foot of your bed
04:11:55  well he isn't remembering them off the top of his head
04:12:39  thats it for that dream
04:13:32  hoo boy her'es a "bad dream"
04:14:16  the bad dream involved me drinking some beer that tasted like tomato juice and until I was about half way done with it it wasn't so bad apart from the taste but then at half way done it hit really hard and I got a splitting headache and felt really woozy
04:14:20  I don't remember why I drank it
04:14:29  [nb ive never drank anything ever irl so idk what its like]
04:14:41  it was lkike before school too
04:14:45  [don't you die of thirst??]
04:14:49  yes
04:14:54  its on my tombstone
04:14:56  [sorry :'(]
04:15:45  in another part i needed batteries for some reason and i don't know why but i decided to go to the nearby elementary school for them but as i was approaching i noticed they were sounding an alarm so i thought to myself "wow it must be the stranger alarm how convenient i'll be friendly and ask for some batteries"
04:16:15  so i go up to one of the playground supervisors and say hi stranger is the alarm a stranger alarm and she says no so i figure it'd be a bad idea to ask for batteries and i leave
04:16:23  then she says have a nice day and i realize she's my grandmother
04:16:48  also in this dream were giant bugs and they were my friends
04:16:55  huge centipedes crawling everywhere &c
04:18:11  dream: I was playing some new king's quest game and I got to a part where there was this wizard and he's like HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS and there were four balloons each with choices in them to the north south east and west
04:18:17  i didn't see east or west but south was like
04:18:20  NOT VERY MUCH
04:18:23  A LITTLE BIT I GUESS
04:18:25  YES PLEASE
04:18:29  I REALLY WANT TO ACHIEVE MY GOALS
04:18:35  and north was just ADOLESENCE
04:18:45  are you talking about bridge
04:18:52  "i used to play bridge in 4th grade"
04:19:02  and eventually i figured out that this was the difficulty selection screen and to get hard mode you had to select the hardest difficulty, which was the uppermost, so i selected ADOLESENCE
04:19:04  "(or was it 3rd grade")
04:19:11  monqy: have you ever played a king's quest game. i played a few old ones but i was really bad at them
04:19:18  imo: lucasarts games: better?
04:19:20  elliott: i've watched some footage
04:19:27  elliott: amazing games
04:19:29  elliott: Should I play _Grim Fandango_?
04:19:29  king's quest footage
04:19:35  shachaf: you haven't already?
04:19:35  elliott: I haven't played it.
04:19:38  Never.
04:19:47  even monqy has played grim fandango. probably.
04:19:52  nope
04:19:54  :/
04:19:55  you should
04:19:55  i should tho
04:20:01  but i played _Monkey Island 4_! :'(
04:20:08  "basically the same thing"
04:20:13  at one part in this thing i went into a cold area and the narrator was like THIS IS COLD so i left and tried getting to a hot area and even once i was already there i shivered and turned into bones
04:20:16  n.b. the interface is awful
04:20:23  slightly worse than MI4's iirc
04:20:30  nothing like a point and click game where you can neither point nor click
04:20:34  how can you be worse than mi4
04:21:05  another part of the dream: a few other people and i were at a water park but it only had one ride except it wasn't really a ride it was more of a horrible horrible amazing obstacle course
04:21:34  monqy: did you play "the neverhood"?
04:21:39  "best game? i think so"
04:21:42  no but i've heard of it
04:21:59  "no i've neverhood of it" - not monqy
04:22:05  i remember one part where there are sort of platform things over water and you had to leap across them except they're freely rotating on their axles so they'll spin when you hit them and some sections of them are this blue thing with an arrow and if you touch the arrow you;ll get sent back to the start
04:22:22  and another part is just a water slide except all the water is actually blue dye and it dyes your skin blue
04:23:45  elliott: are you a grim "fan" dango

04:25:01  dream: what I remember: there's a virtual reality game and I'm playing it with an unkown friend and it's in black and white
04:25:06  at one point I think there's a big ball
04:25:10  and near the end there's a big bear
04:25:28  and I feel like being ajerk and moving in such a way as to attract the bear's atention and then get it to run towards my friend
04:25:33  and then we run away from the bear together
04:26:08   i remember one part where there are sort of platform things over water and you had to leap across them except they're freely rotating on their axles so they'll spin when you hit them and some sections of them are this blue thing with an arrow and if you touch the arrow you;ll get sent back to the start
04:26:12  this sounds sort of like this total wipeout thing
04:26:16  monqy: can i have your dreams :¸(
04:26:17  s/second this/that/
04:26:26  my dreams are all about elliott. boring.
04:26:31  totes
04:29:46  elliott: http://www.danielamos.com/
04:31:14  dream: I'm in this wacky town in the middle of nowhere staying at the house of some english teacher I don't know is she's a relative or if I'm in one of her classes in bizarro world or I'm coauthoring a dreambook with her or what
04:31:51  for some reason I'm looking through the tests/homework she gives and the short stories she writes and the short stories contain the answers to all the homework/tests but in really stupid ways
04:32:45  apparently someone made a full show out of a joke dub of the Kaiji anime and she made her class watch it and she wrote a fanfic about it and gave a homework/test/whatever problem about her fanfic
04:32:54  and she wrote another fanfic in which Kaiji answers her problem about him
04:32:57  and it's just the stupidest thing
04:33:13  then I noticed everyone in her neighbourhood was actually from her short stories
04:33:19  but then they noticed I noticed and tried to drown me
04:33:42  i think this may be the best dream yet
04:33:59  but I could breathe underwater and I found a manhole and went into the sewers but the sewers were glittery black caves with rainbow chalk grrowing out of the walls and if you crushed the chalk in your hands and pit them on the walls and pulled away you could make handholds and platforms and stuff
04:34:20  there was more water and I had to run away from it etc etc and when I got out of the cave I was like at this award ceremony thing and I fell onto the stage
04:34:43  where the english teacher and her neighbors and I were being awarded the prestigious award for Best Yaoi but nobody knew what yaoi meant
04:34:52  and then we lead the Yaoi Parade through town and oh god it was so stupid
04:34:56   and then i woke up
04:34:57  the end
04:35:16   
04:35:21  ...
04:35:32  god its really weird to read these old dreams and i forget parts of them and then i read them and remember them
04:36:48  and thats the earliest dream i have logged in my logs from that channel
04:51:51  Can you believe luite was in SF and didn't get a proper burrito the entire time?
04:52:36  "neither can i"
05:01:17  How can computer simulation of swell shades?
05:04:28  monqy: have you ever heard the neverhood music
05:04:47  i forget
05:05:13  @google potatoes tomatoes gravy and peas
05:05:15  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6R5x1VP2b4
05:05:27  monqy: if your dreams were music, they would be the neverhood music
05:21:00  The "partikkel" command of Csound is very complicated, with forty parameters.
06:05:10  Swell shades make the sound not only quiet but also sounds more distant. How can such thing simulation by computer?
06:05:55  Is there a way to set up a quota on amount of time a process can run on Linux?
06:06:01  And if so, is there a way to see this quota?
06:06:56  Sgeo: I don't know, but maybe you can make some program to run the other program and then stop it afterward, if you need that but it does not have another command to do that.
06:07:15  zzo38, I don't want to do it. I want to know if I'm laboring under it.
06:07:30  And it would be a quota for any process.

06:52:53  monqy: Have you watched Kaiji anime? I have watched the first two seasons, with subtitles. We put them in a CD and then played it on the DVD player.
06:53:11  yes I have
06:53:17  the first two seasons
06:53:20  are there more yet
06:53:38  I don't know if there is any more yet.
06:54:35  But I think it is very good. I also watched Death Note, although not even finish to watch first season we do have the CDs of the first and second season, and that is good too. Death Note is dubbed though, rather than subtitles.
06:55:25  I also have all the Akagi manga up to 25
06:56:06  I don't know majong; would it make sense without this knowledge
06:56:08  elliott: "i recommend not logreading the past half hour or so of #haskell"
06:56:38  monqy: Maybe a little bit, I suppose, although knowing mahjong would help to understand more.
07:06:41  I thought Death Note had both dubs and subs
07:08:36  Sgeo: Well, I don't know, the one I have for Death Note is dub, and the one for Kaiji is sub. These are what my brother found, they are in Xvid format so they will be recorded into a CD and then played in the combination VCR/DVD we have, which can also play DivX (on CD or DVD; apparently CD is faster though)
07:09:34  Maybe I should try to learn how to play Majong
07:09:43  Or maybe try actually playing Backgammon at some point.
07:09:52  Also it seems many more Xvid/DivX files can fit in one CD than storing standard DVD-video on DVD.
07:11:02  Sgeo: There are many different rules for mahjong; a popular mahjong rules is Japanese mahjong, which is also the one played in Akagi, and is popular throughout the world even in places where they play other forms of mahjong too.
07:19:08  Fukumoto (the person who wrote Akagi and Kaiji) mades terrible drawing (he admits this) but the story is very good, and he invented some games too, such as Washizu Mahjong, Restricted Rock-Paper-Scissors, E-card, and other games that were used in his manga.

08:53:42  huh what... I have Eclipse with the android SDK on two computers. I started an upgrade of both them within a minute from each other. Same packages to upgrade on both. Yet one finished in less than a minute and the other one (on the faster computer) is still going half an hour later, at 30% currently
08:53:52  how does that make any sense?
08:54:49  Network issues?
08:55:35  Sgeo, they are both on the same switch
08:55:46  hi elliott
08:56:06  Abrupt network issues of the server hosting the updates?
08:56:42  possibly but the updates ran overlapping each other by at least half a minute, so surely there shouldn't be issues there
08:56:53  Sgeo, anyway I started the computer that is still going *first*
08:57:13  Oh
08:57:39  Sgeo, one difference is that it runs windows and the fast one runs linux
08:57:49  but why would that affect HTTP performance?
08:58:07  shachaf: what
08:58:36  elliott: You know the thing where #haskell gets overrun by people who don't know what they're talking about?
08:58:47  And then they start giving advice to each other?
08:58:54  And you're just outnumbered.

09:17:31  Some Csound commands says it will break the speakers. It is possible to design speakers to filter out the sound which breaks it?

10:10:10  I just shook a laser printer cartridge, and now the print quality is back to pretty much as good as this printer gets. (The sad thing is that it took like six months before I was motivated enough to do that.)
10:10:31  fizzie, heh
10:13:05  It's a bit weird that a new toner cartridge to this old cheap-when-it-was-bought b/w laser is about double the price of a brand new color laser. (160 eur, vs. 80 eur.)
10:13:36  haha
10:13:49  fizzie, is that a third party cartridge?
10:13:56  No, it's the official one.
10:14:08  What model of printer is it?
10:14:10  get third party ones? They are most likely way cheaper
10:14:56  It's still half full according to the sensors, it apparently just needed a good shake. It *has* been like five years in use already; we don't really use the printer much.
10:15:49  According to the statistics page a total of thousand pages has been printed on it, and I guess it's closer to seven years already when we got it. 
10:15:54  (And it's a Lexmark E232.)
10:17:57  hm
10:22:01  I know at FreeGeek we have a Lexmark laser printer; I am unsure the model number, but I know they don't always use the newest equipment there (they just use whatever is available); it supports PCL, HTML, PDF, and PostScript, although I have only used the PCL. I think it is the only Lexmark laser printer which I have used, though.
10:22:47  This one is in the cheaper end of the range, so it only speaks PCL.
10:25:33 -!- nooodl has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
10:25:36  That seem good enough. I don't know why the printer would need to support the other formats, since you should be able to convert whatever you have to PCL.
10:27:38  For example you can use Ghostscript if you need to run any PostScript files, or you can use programs such as "dvilj" and so on to convert DVI to PCL. Or, you can use the system printer drivers.
10:28:01  In addition, if you just have plain text, PCL compatible printers should print those too.
10:28:38  Network printers sometimes support all kinds of curious stuff. Like this one thing a friend had, you could FTP into it and upload a postscript file, then it would print it out. We even used that to make printing from Netscape in Linux work (this was... quite a while ago); the printing command was just a script that did a FTP upload. Was easier than fiddling with LPRng network stuff.
10:28:44  ESC/P compatible printers will also print plain text, so if you have that you can use that too.
10:29:55  One feature of network printers I have used in school was to put a password on the print job.
10:30:44  Therefore, I did not get my printout mixed up with everyone else who was printing at the same time.

15:12:55  so apparently john mcafee might have killed a dude?? surely the kind of people who write virus scanners are more mild-mannered than that
15:14:27  I think they are on average as mild-mannered as the average person
15:14:31  That's what they said about Clark Kent
15:15:08  Virus scanner developers are about as dangerous as file system developers.
15:15:43  (The whole sex-drugs aspect of the McAfee thing is a bit novel, though.)
15:16:21  I wonder how many file system developers there are in the world, and how many killings you can expect in a group of that size
15:17:14  I don't know, but I'd go across the street just in case, if I saw a group of file system developers walking towards me on my side of it.
15:17:26  I... suppose you can recognize them somehow? 
15:17:47  They have B-tree tattoos and so on, right?
15:18:04  maybe they all have namesys t-shirts?
15:20:55  "I killed my wife and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" t-shirts?

15:39:43  elliott: you will be excited to learn that my operating system can receive keyboard input now
15:39:58  (i.e. it has an interrupt handler that prints the received scan code then continues whatever it was doing)
15:40:58  olsner: gosh
15:41:08  yeah, it's totally amazing
15:41:48 * FreeFull considers writing an OS for some ARM board
15:42:21  olsner: did you ever write your own assembler or whatever
15:42:54  I also saved like 500 bytes by not having the entire idt as constant data but generate it on startup instead
15:50:44  Why use your own assembler when there is fasm
15:50:58  Just write a frontend for it for your OS
15:51:07  because fasm sucks
15:51:11  I've never used it, but I'm sure it sucks
15:51:20  Fasm is awesome
15:51:31  The only problem with it is that it only runs on x86-type machines
15:51:54  So the version with the ARM target doesn't run on ARM
15:52:32  doesn't sound awesome
15:55:16  are we discussing assemblers
15:59:33 -!- NihilistDandy has joined.
15:59:56  because if Vorpal says gas is best again i will have to leave and then go to sweden and hit him
16:01:41  Phantom_Hoover, I have no specific opinion on which assembler software is best. The only thing I have an opinion on is which syntax is best
16:01:51  and you chose at&t?
16:02:09  olsner, well, I'm more used to reading that when it comes to x86
16:02:15  wow
16:03:10  olsner, other than x86(|-64) I mostly wrote PIC and AVR assembly. And I just used whatever the toolchain provided. Don't even remmeber PIC assembly any longer, was so many years ago
16:04:28  olsner, frankly I can quite easily adapt to whatever the toolchain uses, it is just a question of reading the docs. Assembly in general is not exactly complicated. There isn't much syntax to learn (especially on PIC or AVR)
16:04:47  and the rest is just reading data sheets for the ISA to figure out the instructions
16:04:58  (which can be a daunting task on x86)
16:05:12  Vorpal, x86 effective addressing is pretty unintuitive, actually
16:05:26  Phantom_Hoover, x86 is pretty unintuitive
16:05:34  and at&t syntax is an effective way of making it as unintuitive as possible
16:05:58  Phantom_Hoover, I don't write much asm on x86, I mostly read it, as output from gcc -S or similar
16:06:29  I code as little as possible in assembly. There are compilers for a reason.
16:06:41  People who write "mov [eax+4*ebx], cl" are always asking "why doesn't [eax+5*ebx] work?", though.
16:07:04  fizzie, well, that would be because 5 is not a power of 2 surely?
16:07:13  the syntax should show it as a shift then!
16:07:17  >_>
16:07:41  I forgot exactly how large a shift can be encoded though
16:07:53  well tbh nasm does automatically convert [5*eax] to [eax+4*eax] which is questionable
16:08:33  Phantom_Hoover, you are kind of out luck with [6*eax] though, presumably?
16:08:44  maybe
16:10:25  (yes)
16:13:26  1, 2, 4 and 8 are legal scales.
16:17:28  hm, why are volume controls so screwy for most sound card & head phone/ear bud/speaker combos. A reasonable level is usually either near max or near min...
16:17:36  or am I just being unlucky?
16:17:47  kmc: Did you see dne :: forall a. (forall m. Monad m => (a -> m Void) -> m Void) -> a; dne e = case e Left of Left x -> x; Right _ -> undefined
16:18:04 -!- carado has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
16:19:38  kmc: Rather, dne :: forall a. (forall m. Monad m => (a -> m Void) -> m Void) -> a; dne e = case e Left of Left x -> x; Right u -> absurd u
16:19:46  "sorry about the undefined"
16:24:42 -!- segorev has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep).
16:27:45  Vorpal: It certainly happens to me too; pairing the USB sound dongle I have with the headphones (64Ω nominal impedance, shouldn't be *that* strange) means sensible sound levels at about two or three of the steps right above the minimum "hardware" volume level; and those are already pretty loud. (Then again, for the laptop's headphone hole, the levels are quite reasonable.)
16:28:03  fizzie, hm
16:28:27  fizzie, I find that the built in speakers in my laptop require near max level for anything to happen
16:28:47  and any headphones or earbuds that I use require near minimum
16:29:14  fizzie, I had to set up a -35 dB gain to the output stage of my SB Live DSP to get a reasonable master volume control on it
16:29:19  which is pretty absurd
16:29:24  Ah, let lem1 :: (forall m. Monad m => (a -> m w)) -> (forall m. Monad m => (a -> m Void) -> m w) -> w; lem1 pos neg = case neg Left of Right y -> y; Left y -> runIdentity (pos y)
16:29:29  No absurd needed
16:30:13 -!- segorev has joined.
16:33:43  Vorpal: Well, for the USB dongle sensible volume levels (as per alsamixer) for the "Speaker" output -- the only control it has -- are about the steps 3/100 .. 6/100 (reportedly -27 .. -25 dB gain); anything below is completely silent, anything above is just too loud.
16:35:17  fizzie, heh
16:36:02  (Also, it has an "Auto Gain Control" toggle that's a *playback* control, according to alsamixer. I don't know what it does, but I would've assumed it's something to do with the mic capture instead.)
16:38:17  (Toggling it does absolutely nothing w.r.t. playback.)
16:43:31  fizzie, I have gain controls for virtually everything
16:44:37  Speaking of headphones, my wife's father, the high-fidelity guy, bought Sennheiser HD 800's recently; they came with this "certificate" paper thing that had the measured frequency response curves for that particular individual pair. (Then again, their price here is a thousand euros, so I suppose there's enough of a profit margin there to do small things like that.)
16:44:38  fizzie, btw, if you have a card based on emu10k1 I would suggest you swap the front and back channels, the front channel uses an AC97 codec for the DAC, the back one uses some I2S thingy instead
16:44:43  which is less noisy
16:45:02  fizzie, hah
16:45:15  mine only came with a general frequency response curve for the model
16:45:24  (BeyerDynamic DT-150)
16:45:30  (spelling?)
16:45:35  So did mine. I think; I've lost the box and any things like that.
16:46:26  Sennhaiser had cleverly stopped the curves at something like 50 Hz in the low end, 12.5 kHz in the high end, so it looked impressively flat.
16:51:19  heh

19:34:21  god damn, chrome's unified search/url bar is annoying. Can't access dsldevice.lan, works fine in firefox
19:34:24  how weird
19:34:34  shame, since chrome is otherwise an awesome browser
19:35:31  I've found I'm unhappy with all browsers.
19:35:35  But least unhappy with Opera.
19:35:36  oh?
19:35:59  I never really liked opera, not for any specific reason though, just generally unhappy with it
19:36:38  Firefox is the slowest, buggiest piece of shit. Chrome is well-implemented, but my web browsing habits are incompatible with its UI.
19:36:45  oh?
19:36:51  what habits are those?
19:36:53  To give you an idea: I use vertical tabs.
19:36:59  huh
19:37:05  does even firefox support that?
19:37:09  With an extension.
19:37:16  so tabs on the side instead of the top?
19:37:20  Yup.
19:37:33  what are the advantages of that setup?
19:37:55  Easy access to a giant bunch of tabs. Makes use of screen real estate better.
19:38:13  assuming you have a wide screen monitor that is
19:38:20  otherwise it would waste space
19:38:25  And I do.
19:38:30  also assuming you use full screen browser
19:38:33  which I don't
19:38:34  Which I do.
19:38:37  right
19:38:44  so not a good setup for me
19:38:51  The big thing, though, is that I use a *lot* of tabs.
19:38:57  IMO chrome works well for me except for the unified URL/search thing
19:39:43  and I try to cut down on number of tabs, I found I simply used it as a backlog and would not end up using the top ones once they went down more than a few lines in firefox (with tab mix plus)
19:39:54  I have 52 tabs open right now.
19:40:02  about 20
19:40:11  I used to have upwards of a few hundred
19:41:47  question: does anyone have any idea why Android phones would adjust the volume in fixed steps, instead of a smooth slider?
19:42:00  None at all.
19:42:28  there seems to be no advantage to it, also it means I need to use the equaliser in the music player to apply maximum negative value over the board
19:42:45  otherwise I would just use volume 1
19:42:53  now I use 1-4 depending on the music
19:44:53  I'm listening to Volume 6 at the moment
19:45:03  Track 11, Wacky Antics
19:45:41  atriq, volume 6 of what?

19:46:52  I'm currently listening to the $10 reward from the ocremix kickstarter, which is an album by Big Giant Circles.
19:46:56  chiptunes
19:47:18  Are you enjoying it?
19:47:31  so far yes
19:47:47  :)
19:48:11  the album is called Impostor Nostalgia, I don't think it is pure chiptunes. It is chiptunes + some other instruments as well
19:48:56  atriq, I'm glad I got my SB Live 5.1 working under windows 7 (64-bit) finally so I can enjoy some proper sound quality there, instead of the shitty on board.
19:49:12  it is a massive difference from the so called Intel "HD" audio
19:49:29  Vorpal: no, not hard to master. But I'm interesting in implemented Forth.
19:49:36  impomatic, aaah
19:50:03  atriq, so I didn't have to reboot to enjoy this music :)
19:50:29  Hurrah!
19:50:48  atriq, btw it is only with these headphones that I can hear the difference, can't hear the difference with my speakers or with my earbuds

21:29:47  That's ridiculous, though.
21:29:52  well sure
21:30:16  'Course, you'd have to do that intentionally.
21:30:29  pikhq_, but since when did big companies make sense
21:30:45  The naive mistake of ">> instead of >" would probably result from someone doing that with the output of md5sum.
21:30:48  i.e. ASCII
21:31:26  anyway, what sort of checksums does tar have built in
21:31:32  any?
21:33:07  Looks like tar only has header checksums.
21:33:45  Compression formats have some sort of checksum, though.
21:33:49 -!- Nisstyre-laptop has quit (Quit: Leaving).
21:34:08  Looks like the common ones all use CRC-32.
21:34:49  Ah, .xz has it optional.
21:36:23  A .xz file may have a checksum of: none, CRC-32, CRC-64, or SHA256.
21:37:20  Specifically, little-endian CRC-32 with polynomial 0xEDB88320, or little-endian CRC-64 with polynomial 0xC96C5795D7870F42
21:39:40  shachaf: maybe i should use that instead of 'ts'
21:39:52  but it would be harder to direct a whole shell script into it, from inside the shell script itself
21:39:57  i could always put it in  the crontab

21:45:21  What does amount of phishing spams have to do with how much space the webmail system has

21:48:28  oh cool
21:48:32  I used sponge today!
21:48:37  also "3>&2" still feels backwards to me, intuitively
21:48:41  cat FILE FILE | sponge FILE
21:48:54  i know why its' the way it is
21:49:14  Does 2>&1 feel backwards?
21:49:38  Because it's counting down@
21:49:41  *?
21:49:43  no because 2 is already open and i'm saying "send that data from 2 to 1"
21:50:02  but when i'm opening a new fd it feels like the new fd should be the "destination"
21:50:28  I want to be able to say 2|program
21:50:37  kmc: Maybe it helps if you think of all fds as being open all the time.
21:50:42  Just normally not used.d
21:50:43  :)
21:51:32  maybe this is related to the fact that write-only references are contravariant
21:52:08  maybe i should use «echo | sudo sponge» rather than «echo | sudo tee»
21:52:33  But you want streaming, presumably.
21:53:00  usually it is something like echo 4 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/frozzle_wobbles

22:10:00  Why are there no links to that from Tunnel#Longest, List_of_tunnels_by_length aka List_of_longest_tunnels_in_the_world, or the "Structure extremes" template? (If there are any, let the question to be modified to ask instead why I didn't notice them.)
22:10:24  I guess I should've gone to the List_of_tunnels category.
22:11:14  I simply looked for longest tunnels
22:11:25  Actually no
22:11:28  I looked for list of tunnels

22:12:54  Probably not
22:14:06  Oh, there is one; I've driven through that Sørdals tunnel in Norway. But it's quite far down the list, only 6.338km.
22:14:07  Somehow wikipedia lead me to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_road just now
22:14:36  "The first known musical road, the Asphaltophone, was created in October 1995 in Gylling, Østjylland, Denmark"
22:14:43  The Asphaltophone
22:14:48  I didn't even know there was one in Denmark.
22:15:01  I had heard of the US one.

00:48:20      case a (\ b ->
00:48:20              case a (\ _ -> Left b) of
00:48:20              Left c -> Left c
00:48:20              Right d -> void d) of
00:48:21      Left e -> e
00:48:23      Right f -> void f
00:48:32  um it was the obvious way to get a monad with an arbitrary result...
00:48:44  call/cc is overrated, man
00:49:03  You can use Cont without callCC, though, depend what you need that type for.
00:49:10  True.
00:49:14  You can use Cont for anything.
00:51:08  i guess Either is simpler
00:52:08  FamicomHDL uses Cont without callCC. I also mentioned in esolang wiki some kind of fake I/O monad involving Cont.
00:52:14  Since you only need to use the exception once.
00:53:18  But you can use law of excluded middle instead of callCC too if you like; in both cases it makes classical logic from intuitionistic logic.
00:53:36  i think that @djinn is a little overcomplicated?
00:54:15  Yes.
00:54:19  Just pass it Left.
00:54:19  :t let f a = case a Left of Left e -> e; Right f -> undefined in f
00:54:21  ((a -> Either a b) -> Either t t1) -> t
00:54:37  copumpkin: Get 'im!
00:54:49  Could you use (>>=)?
00:55:26  For what you have there, you could make (either Left undefined) which might also do?
00:56:33  You mean either id undefined?
00:56:41  shachaf: Yes.
00:56:42  It should actually be either id void
00:57:00  shachaf: Yes, that too. You are correct. It should be: either id void
00:57:15  :t void
00:57:16  Functor f => f a -> f ()
00:57:20  Not that void!
00:57:24  absurd :: Void -> a
00:57:34  But something like   case ... of { Left c -> Left c; Right d -> void d; }   seem would be like   >>= void
00:57:40  either id void . ($ Left)
00:57:53  Hmm, good point.
00:58:56  Hmm, no.
00:59:01  The (>>=) makes it monomorphic.

02:01:46   Sgeo:  I have read that in the startings of war, hitler begged churchill for peace like 12 times, but churcill didnt want to accept it.
02:03:01  Fuck you hitler and your jew-killing peace
02:03:48  is he being like "hitler wasn't such a bad guy"
02:03:51  Sgeo: Why do you punish yourself?
02:04:11  Phantom_Hoover, he's being more "both sides were bad", I think.
02:04:29  Which is a silly argument.
02:04:47  That argument didn't even address my statement
02:04:58   rebels in general, or these particular rebels?
02:04:58  * amelius has quit (Quit: Leaving)
02:04:59   Because it seems clear that at least some of the time, rebellion is not a bad thing.
02:04:59   If there was a rebellion against Nazi Germany, that would have been good. The American Revolution is not typically considered to have been morally bad, as far as I'm aware.
02:05:29  History was kind to Winston, and dink to Addi.
02:06:26  Sgeo: So, wait, was this guy advocating absolute subservience to whatever government exists at the time?
02:07:26  Not entirely sure how absolute, exactly, but something along those lines. He's against the Syrrian rebels, and I wasn't sure if those particular rebels or rebels in general.
02:09:32  That's actually kinda hilarious. Wonder what he thinks of states that ban Christianity.
02:09:56  The person in question is l.
02:09:57  http://pastie.org/private/tfgrdt2v3rinnudt3yuipa
02:10:06  (Note that I elided the actual nicks)
02:10:44  that
02:10:57  sounds very clearly like he's against "rebels are good all the time"
02:11:45  I asked, hold on let me paste that
02:12:00 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: leaving).
02:12:48  http://pastie.org/private/q3zrkexir8wus8qmuh5dw
02:13:06  Hmm, I guess it could be more dodging than asserting that rebels are bad all the time.
02:13:23  It's s's statement that seems slightly generalized anti-rebel.
02:16:14   the result of all this:  ww1 gave us "Leage of nations" ww2 gave us "United Nations" and ww3 will give us the Luciferian NWO
02:16:14   thats "the Plan" basicly
02:17:17  yeah i think nazis are the archtypal example that peace isn't always the better option
02:18:25  also he *did* get a peace agreement from the british earlier
02:18:29  and it didn't work out too well for them
02:24:21  britain consented to hitler annexing part of czechoslovakia, then he went much further, then britain declared war, then later churchill came to power
02:24:32  so i think by that point yeah he would be pretty inclined to view further peace promises in a dim light
02:24:39  also why are you in #jesus
02:26:20  kmc: He's a *regular* there.
02:26:43  sgeo is happy he found #jesus
02:27:12  heh
02:33:12  reach out and touch faith
02:33:53  Weird given that, to my knowledge, Sgeo is an atheist...
02:33:55  *shrug*
02:34:08  pikhq_, that knowledge is correct.
02:35:18  if it was incorrect, would it be knowledge?
02:36:23  back to the issue at hand then: why are you in #jesus?
02:38:10  Because it's fun to watch? It's fun to participate in conversations as a voice contrary to ... I was going to say the mainstream opinion there, but as often as not it's Christians arguing with Christians as it is Christians vs non-Christians.
02:39:50  i expect so
02:50:47  kmc: Is your web IRC thing going to replace #haskell?
02:51:23  You should have a feature where there are multiple levels of discussion, so people can make stupid jokes in one level without confusing the people who are asking for help at a different level.
02:51:58  IRC should have threads.
02:52:12  Multiple levels would not solve the problem of different people having different competing explanations.
02:53:27  Maybe there should be a polite way of marking people who have no idea what they're talking about.
02:53:55  A codensity monad of a (->) makes a state monad; this can be used with continuations, too.

02:56:19  mit zephyr has "un-classes"

02:56:40  kmc: I tried to connect to mit zephyr once but apparently you need to have an account?
02:56:49  that is if people are answering a question on class "help", you can provide snarky useless answers on class "unhelp"
02:56:52  yes
02:57:02  How do you get an account?
02:57:23  well you can get an MIT Athena account by being sponsored by MIT faculty, employee, or organization, or other
02:57:35  or you can get an account with one of the other zephyr realms that peers with them
02:57:47  Aha.
02:57:48  but there aren't any that take general public registrations
02:59:16  Continuation monad can be used as a kind of monad to build (possibly recursive) data structures. You may see one such example in http://esolangs.org/wiki/Talk:Bruijndejx in which it builds a recursive data structure of a simple I/O.

03:07:56 * Sgeo marks Ryan Kelker
03:26:46  easier to mark people who do know what they're talking about
03:26:50  like on stack overflow
03:27:23  Yes, that's what I meant.
03:27:48  It's annoying when one or two clueless people give clueless advice to another clueless person.
03:27:55  It just propagates the cluelessness.
03:29:43  but #haskell is too wrapped up in the idea that #haskell Is Nice to tell those people off

06:02:53  What do you think it is supposed to do?
06:03:03  zzo38: Not very much.

06:03:34  kmc: Your reddit username is prograticles_bot?
06:03:47 * shachaf doesn't actually remember kmc's reddit username, but it was some weird unpronounceable nonsense.
06:04:04  shachaf: have you tried: type Foo a = (Nat, a)
06:04:05  that Foo looks like a free monad
06:04:41  monqy: thats not an improvement :'(
06:04:57  monqy: and yes i have tried it, see above :'(
06:05:13  elliott: Well, the goal was to make something sort of like a "non-free functor"
06:05:13  i don't want to see above :(
06:05:24  I.e. one that keeps track of the fmaps you've done to it.
06:05:31  shachaf: people really love embedding GDB breakpoints in C source code, it turns out
06:05:43  Map id (Map ord (Map chr (Some 97))) -- e.g.
06:05:54  It isn't a functor then
06:05:55  data Foo' r = forall o. Map (o -> r) r; type Foo = Free Foo' or something seems isomorphic.
06:06:03  sort of
06:06:16  kmc: I haven't read your post yet.
06:06:23  Oh, the PF JIT!
06:06:33 * shachaf likes that JIT.
06:07:10  kmc: Can you embed GDB breakpoints in a C code? I have just used things like  *0=*0
06:07:44  (which is probably not the best way)
06:07:46  I have just used things like asm("int3")
06:08:30  zzo38: this is the way i came up with: http://mainisusuallyafunction.blogspot.com/2012/01/embedding-gdb-breakpoints-in-c-source.html
06:08:43  kmc: I will look later
06:08:58  kmc: Oh, that.
06:09:01  it's a macro that puts the current address into a special section
06:09:16  then i have a wrapper around gdb which reads those and adds breakpoints to them
06:09:28  gdb has this nice Python scripting thing, I'm told.

07:55:15  I suppose it's one of those universal things, like the naked-at-school dream and so on.

07:55:37  no
07:55:40  well
07:55:41  yes
07:55:43  So you don't get warnings for "instance Eq Foo"
07:56:15  Would there be a problem with just explicitly specifying it to the compiler in a pragma?
07:56:41  I.e. class Eq where (==), (/=) :: a -> a -> Bool; {-# MINIMAL (==) #-} {-# MINIMAL (/=) #-}
07:56:49  Where you could specify any combination of operators in a pragma, of course
08:02:03  i assume not

11:25:51  λ> toListOf bazaar $ (\f -> (,) <$> f 5 <*> f 6) sell
11:25:51  [5,6]
11:26:04  sell = \a -> Bazaar ($ a)
11:26:23  I mean, a Bazaar is perfectly traversable.
11:27:12  bazaar :: Traversal (Bazaar a b t) t a b
11:28:06  Then again, you already know that, since you wrote partsOf. So I must still be missing something. :-)
11:28:10  elliott: Yes, i think so too. But i was asking in any case – i wouldn’t have figured out, say, something like Data.Reflection myself either.
11:28:38  well apparently i was wrong and it is possible
11:28:46  or else I am also missing something
11:29:12  Reflection?
11:29:21  I must be completely missing the point here. :-(
11:29:47  shachaf: Let’s forget about Bazaar. (,) <$> MagicShow 5 <*> MagicShow 6 == "(_ :: Integer -> Integer -> (Integer,Integer)) <$> MagicShow 5 <*> MagicShow 6"
11:29:59  shachaf: Reflection was just another example of something magical.
11:30:11  ion: What's the type of the function you want?
11:30:40  @ty \f -> liftA2 (,) (f 5) (f 6)
11:30:42  (Num a, Applicative f) => (a -> f b) -> f (b, b)
11:31:40  foo :: (forall f. (Applicative f, Show a, Typeable a) => (a -> f a) -> f t) -> String?
11:31:47  Maybe forall f a
11:32:41  ion: You should omit the type signature on _.
11:32:45  So you don't need a gross Typeable constraint.
11:33:04  ion: (Did I tell you about reflection or have you, like, actually used it?)
11:33:36  forall f a t?
11:33:45 * shachaf is now confused about what ion wants.
11:34:26  Anyway, isn't this just toListOf?

12:29:51  Just remember Bazaar a b t ~ ([a], [b] -> t) where the lists are the same length.
12:30:05  Hmm, "the lists are the same length" doesn't quite capture it, because one of them is in negative position.
12:30:09  But you know what I mean. :-)
12:30:18  The second list has to be the same length as the first.

19:07:34  I assume you have no intention of even thinking about the expansion port of the NES.
19:08:28  Correct.
19:09:22  Some of its functions which may be used might be wired through an adapter, if you ever need to use it for any reason.
19:13:21  Hmm. Well, there is an easy way to make it useful-ish...
19:13:42  The audio in line moved from the cartridge slot to the expansion slot in the NES, right?
19:14:30  You could use one of the lines that connects from the cartridge to the expansion slot to carry audio from a Famicom adapter.
19:15:52  zzo38: is that just specs or do you have a circuit design etc for it?
19:15:56  Yes there is Audio in, in the NES expansion port, although I am not sure if it is the same thing.
19:16:52  quintopia: Just specifications; most of the circuit design would not be too complicated, though.
19:20:37 -!- atriq has quit (Read error: Connection timed out).
19:22:28 -!- atriq has joined.
19:24:42  The NES expansion port seems badly designed and mostly useless; the useful functions exist on other ports (including the Famicom expansion port). One thing on there that might seem useful sometimes (if PRG/CE is insufficient) would be A15; and even that is not so useful on the expansion port instead of the cartridge.
19:26:47 -!- ogrom has quit (Quit: Left).
19:27:45  It is possible for NES expansion port to be a bit more useful on the NES, but in what I described, with 60-pins cartridge, NES controller port, Famicom expansion port, it has the functions you need already.
19:38:46  What exactly would be wrong about the sentence "but the relationship ended long before marriage."? (as in awkward phrasing)
19:39:28  :(
19:39:53  ):
19:39:53  And what's wrong with "his hands flaunt in front of the Great Movie Ride in Disney World, Florida."?
19:40:32  Some things are difficult and this is bad.
19:40:43  can "flaunt" be used intransitively?
19:41:10  Not sure. It's on wikipedia.
19:41:15  (that sentence)
19:43:15  AnotherTest: (1) Somebody doesn't like beginning sentences with prepositions. (2) It has no obvious meaning, that's what. "Flaunt" kinda needs context, and as is rarely applied to hands... if it was his hands that were being flaunted, then it should have said "he flaunted his hands", not "his hands flaunt". "His hands flaunt" implies that his hands flaunt /something/, but we don't know what.
19:43:35  Neither are grammatically wrong as far as I can tell, they're both just terrible.
19:45:12  "his hands flaunt" is such a good construction though
19:45:15  on purely aesthetic grounds
19:45:17  what does it MEAN??
19:45:31  Meaning is for losers :)
19:45:35  No idea, but it's on wikipedia.
19:45:46  David Copperfield's page
19:46:37  Flaunt around.
19:46:54  flaunt his crotch
19:48:15  Gregor: "but" isn't a preposition, also it's _ending_ it with them ("marriage" isn't one either.)
19:49:13  well, not a preposition there, i can imagine other uses where it may be ("life is but a dream")
19:50:19  Oh, hahah, I'm bad at reading X_X
19:50:25  I take the excuse that I'm sick :)
19:51:34  life is but his hands flaunting
19:52:10  well if anyone's hands could flaunt, it would be david copperfield, i think

20:02:00  yes
20:02:11  i am the author of the latter
20:02:46  does that trick reliably avoid the problem, or can you like, still smuggle the instructions you want in by using non-immediate bits, like opcodes and r/m bytes?
20:03:09  it seems like it'd be trickier but is it still possible?
20:04:16  yeah, it's a good question
20:04:32  in this case you have a pretty limited range of opcodes and addressing modes you can generate
20:06:20  ahhh, so you can't use some of the really long opcodes like later-SSE stuff?
20:07:00  I'm imagining like, writing a search function that, given a set of operations you want to execute, tries to find some set of valid instructions that you could smuggle it in with
20:07:08  automating the process

20:56:31  bike is bike, yes indeed.
20:56:35  if only lymia was still here
20:56:42  so you have to distinguish the instructions the BPF JIT emits from the instructions the attacker is smuggling in
20:57:05  Did anyone ask Fiora the Hexham/Finland question?
20:57:06  the latter are hidden within the immediate arguments to the former
20:57:29  okay, but like, let's say you have a JIT that compiles Java to x86, you can't control the x86 with the Java (at least not completely), right?
20:57:40  so how can you be sure to get the exact right instructions so that the smuggled instructions are right?
20:58:01  or does it let you give it full control over the input x86 (within the constraints at least?)
20:58:23  you have to know how that particular JIT works
20:58:25  presumably you have access to the JIT's source, or at least you can figure out what Java results in what x86
20:59:46  Fiora, are you in Hexham?
20:59:49  by reading its source, or by observing the output and determining it to be stable
20:59:58  (important question)
21:00:19  hexham?   google says it's a city
21:00:24  in the case of the BPF JIT it is very easy because it translates each BPF instruction to a particular x86 instruction sequence, regardless of the context
21:00:32  Hexham's a city!?
21:00:34  It's a town
21:00:39  @google hexham
21:00:40  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexham
21:00:40  Title: Hexham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
21:00:42  erm, town I guess?
21:00:46  Yeah
21:00:49  a fancier jit will have fancier instruction selection, register allocation, non-local optimizations, etc.
21:00:52  I'm from the US <_<;
21:00:55  Okay
21:01:09  so could the JIT try to be "more secure" by doing unpredictable things with the code?
21:01:10  and with a tracing JIT what's compiled is not a whole function but a single control-flow path, which can span several function and skip parts of each
21:01:12  There are a ridiculous number of people from Hexham in this channel
21:01:13  like based on /dev/random
21:01:18  yeah
21:01:32  Up to 2 at any time
21:01:33  I guess, random register allocation, random splitting of constants, random insturction reordering...
21:01:36  And Finland is worse
21:02:12  Although more proportional to its population
21:04:18  if you were from the west midlands it'd emerge as a strong contender too
21:04:23  random splitting of constants would be the big one, I suppose, since then the attacker can't even guarantee they'll have a sequence of bytes to jump to.
21:04:36  I guess, but what if you could do it entirely without constants?
21:04:37  *an appropriate
21:04:41  like, just with opcodes and r/m bytes
21:04:48  that might be really hard though
21:04:51  Phantom_Hoover, shall I just start one?
21:06:00  I don't think most JITs are going to emit the really complicated instructions that would be good for that?
21:06:34  weird, I can't get systrace to work on my 4.1 android phone. It should work but I get error messages about stuff under /sys/kernel/debug not existing...
21:06:43  I guess if you could control the register allocation... but if it used only like a couple registers... yeah that would be hard...
21:06:47  I guess you'd have to try to be sure
21:06:53  atriq, i don't think elliott is going to make a showing so yeah

21:09:09  nah*
21:09:11  good
21:10:07  why is that good?
21:10:07  Okay, worldgen has begun
21:11:06  everyone listen to sburban jungle!
21:11:42  Listening!
21:11:44  (has Vorpal even heard sburban jungle)
21:12:08  Phantom_Hoover, think so, ages ago
21:12:16  not sure why I would listen to it now though
21:12:55  Dwarf Fortress worldgen isn't as awesome as SBurb loading screen
21:13:06  well, the rendering isn't
21:13:14  fizzie, FireFly, there? I left eclipse running on that upgrade... It just finished XD
21:13:16  True
21:13:32  some pretty crazy stuff happens in worldgen
21:13:58  Some pretty crazy stuff happens in SBurb worldgen too, mind
21:14:14  Although time travel/predestination makes it unclear when that happens
21:14:19  Vorpal: huh?
21:14:24  isn't sburb worldgen the final section of gameplay
21:14:30  FireFly, remember we talked about that yesterday or so?
21:14:49  FireFly, the slooow eclipse upgrade?
21:15:00  doesn't ring any bells
21:15:08  weird, who was it then I talked to
21:15:18  Phantom_Hoover, I think so?
21:15:22  I know fizzie, and I thought you too
21:15:22  Who knows
21:15:24  hmm maybe
21:15:28  oh well, doesn't matter
21:15:39 -!- jix has quit (Quit: Lost terminal).
21:15:48  although i don't think we've seen a single standard sburb game so who knows
21:15:51 -!- jix has joined.
21:16:17  It's possible there is no such thing
21:16:26  Maybe the point of SBurb is to teach its players
21:16:48  It teaches the trolls that supreming over everyone is bad
21:17:01  And sometimes you have to admit that others are in some respects superior?
21:17:58  And did that by making their subsession glitched in a way I don't know what I'm saying
21:19:27  WorldGen is complete
21:19:46  Just as the third version of SBurban Jungle I have starts playing
21:19:52  third?
21:19:57  i only know of 2!
21:20:14  Two are identical
21:20:28  There's the Volume 4 version, the Volumes 1-4 version, and the Brief Mix
21:20:42  There we go, the brief mix has just finished
21:20:55  Now for SBurban Reversal
21:21:23  no
21:21:27  you use that for world ungen
21:21:40  Terezi Owns?
21:22:02  sburban countdown?
21:22:23  sburban jungle: percussion mix?
21:24:02  Okay, now to browse the suitable sites
21:24:18  To ElevatorStuck
21:25:19  I've found a good place, it's quite hot
21:25:36 -!- monqy has joined.
21:25:45  hey monqy did you learn to play dwarf fortress
21:26:04  Vorpal: That was reasonable.
21:26:17  Vorpal: And yes, I remember the upgrade.
21:27:16  atriq, make sure to name the starting 7
21:27:35  Hot, heavily forested, thick vegetation, wilderness, brook, some soil, shallow metals, deep metals, flux stone
21:27:43  cool
21:27:47  wait, brook?
21:27:49  yessssssss
21:28:05  :)
21:28:10  Vorpal: The other person commenting on it was FreeFull, incidentally.
21:28:19  The brook is called Bunnyidol
21:28:23  finally a site where i can find an easily-accessible source of working fluid for my generators
21:28:27  Which sounds somewhat suspicious
21:28:39  (Both are "FFs".)
21:29:17  Should I prepare for the journey carefully?
21:29:22  Commenting on what?
21:29:36  FreeFull: On Vorpal's slow Eclipse upgrade.
21:30:05  I'm not going out there and making people's Eclipse upgrades slow
21:30:20  No, but you commented on hypothetical reasons for it.
21:30:27  Or at least someone with your name did.
21:30:42  atriq, only if you don't want to get started this week
21:31:22  Embarking, whey-hey!
21:31:30  what is suspicious
21:31:36  "Palacecrushed"
21:31:43  bunnyidol is
21:31:45  FreeFull, the name of this brook

21:35:31  are you making it hapen
21:35:48  where making this hapen
21:36:11  were DOIN it bro!
21:39:09  Just struck Haemetite
21:39:46  Or however that's spelt
21:40:01 -!- Jafet has quit (Quit: Leaving.).
21:40:36  Okay, we've also got Sphalerite, so I guess we could make zinc?
21:40:36  haematite
21:41:09  we can make things out of brass i guess
21:43:35  First bedroom built!
21:43:55  dwarves don't build!
21:44:32  By which I mean, first bedroom made a bedroom
21:44:33  is dwarf fortress a rogue-like derivative of minecraft or something?
21:44:49  not really
21:45:23  it's kind of like rts minecraft except you don't have direct control over your units and you just designate tasks to be carried out
21:46:04  you have units in minecraft?
21:46:13  A unit.
21:46:18  that's the rts part
21:46:22  I thought it was like a first-person shooter
21:46:30  except without the shooting
21:46:33  I've just struck fortification agate
21:46:41  It's a first-person miner
21:46:42  gate
21:46:44  good idea
21:46:57  There's some bow-shooting going on in Minecraft.
21:46:59  Imagine Minecraft meets Rollercoaster Tycoon meets Pikmin
21:47:12  Oh, it's a gem
21:47:22  I thought it was some sort of concrete or something
21:47:33  you have a bunch of dwarves, they need to be kept alive and happy
21:47:34  But that's fortification aggregate
21:48:09  you designate an area for mining or a workshop to be built or whatever and eventually they'll do it
21:48:51  but you can't directly control any of them
21:49:16  I thought that horribly crappy Sonic animation was bad in YouTube recommendations, but now it's some "live-action" (..maybe, judging from the thumbnail..) thing with Sonic edited in, titled "A Day in the Life of Sonic- Sonic tries to get laid".
21:49:55  And then some Battle Programmer Shirase stuff. (Okay, at least that's kinda hilarious.)
21:54:49   Vorpal: The other person commenting on it was FreeFull, incidentally. <--- aah, FF in both cases
21:55:15  FireFly, so in practise it could have been you :P Very similar nick shape
21:55:54  Heh
21:56:17  FireFly has one less letter
21:56:28  sure, but apart from that, very similar
21:56:58  FreeFull, anyway, I left the eclipse upgrade running, I finished just half an hour ago or something like that
21:57:03  which is absurd
21:57:23  looks like the eclipse mirror system is royally fucked up to me, "no mirrors found" it says now for me
21:57:36  I usually distinguish by nick length and nick colour.  Not that the latter is very helpful in this case: http://i.imgur.com/t15X7.png
21:57:51  I don't do coloured nicks
21:58:32  ah now it started working again, (the mirror system)
22:01:25  Agriculture has started
22:01:26  I have all my nicks white
22:01:31  On a black background
22:01:42  Unless someone highlights me, then their nick is yellow on that line
22:01:45  blue on a white background (using xchat atm)
22:02:02  my own lines are grey, and highlights are red
22:02:10  oh and the text is black
22:02:30  yay, i got stonesense working
22:02:41  Phantom_Hoover, I never had any problems with that
22:02:55  what were the issues?
22:03:12  dependencies, also forgetting to set the compile flag
22:03:18  aah
22:04:48  Currently I'm channelling out a massive tower thing.
22:09:10  It is now summer

22:15:04  Phantom_Hoover, I don't remember using that tool
22:15:10  what does it do
22:15:15  is it some sort of cheating tool?
22:15:22  I know a lot of dfhack is
22:15:46  it's the one that makes managing labours actually possible

22:32:50  so, they travel from atlantis to that planet with an atlantis-like tower; they initiate a revolution there, and deplete de zpm that was powering everything
22:33:08  leaving them defenseless from the wraith
22:33:33  and in return for that "help" they take a lot of the drones and jumpers
22:34:33  to make things better, sheppard gets to have sex with a girl by promising her he will marry her and they'll rule the planet together; then he dumps her and get back to atlantis (with his jumpers and drones)
22:35:19  how the heck is that morally suitable for a stargate team??
22:35:26  oerjan, btw i named a dorf after you
22:35:38  he's the fortress carpenter, doctor and secondary miner
22:36:11  And his name is Garry.
22:36:16  Phantom_Hoover doesn't know oerjan's real name.

22:37:37  wait no the cook will be garry

2012-11-19:

00:00:08  but now it seems to be either an infinite loop or very slow
00:00:12  (and not outputting anything)
00:00:28  so I was wondering if you had any smaller, more simple programs to test
00:00:50  Arc_Koen: No, I don't have some, sorry
00:01:35  in that case the fight between the part of me that wants to complete this and the part of me that's bored and not motivated will be even harder
00:02:36  i feel like cat theory is not just an abbreviation of category theory
00:02:40  it's a theory
00:02:47  of cats
00:03:21  do you mean like

00:13:25  I will compare what instructions you use in your program that I don't use in the truth-machine

01:07:05 -!- dedis29 has joined.
01:10:16  yeah it is strange that more esolangs don't have full featured grammar
01:10:29  i guess it follows from the fact that most of them are brainfuck derivatives ;P
01:12:10  It just occurred to me that brainfuck is "context-free"
01:12:18  (in more than one way)
01:12:32  :0
01:12:42  most of them are brainfuck derivatives and the foundation of the current state of esolangs is brainfuck, befunge and false
01:13:17  jafet: what about [ and ]?
01:13:59  so everyone picks up the attitude that esolangs all have single-character commands instead of syntax
01:14:02  BF ::= + | - | , | . | < | > | [ BF ]
01:14:19  | BF BF
01:14:40  BFF
01:15:20  Good
01:15:22  the clear course of action is to start a new trend in languages that can only be parsed with unrestricted grammars
01:15:28  Do a Befunge grammar next
01:15:29 * oerjan swats Jafet for making an ambiguous grammar -----###
01:15:49 -!- dedis29 has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
01:16:04  i don't know grammar, what's an example of a non-context-free one
01:16:28  the grammar describing the language { a^n b^n c^n | n >= 1 }
01:16:41  i.e. { "abc", "aabbcc", "aaabbbccc", ... }
01:16:44  does ambiguous here means that you can't distinguish (BF BF) BF from BF (BF BF)?
01:16:51  yes
01:16:53  Bike: that's called "mainstream languages"
01:17:30  oerjan: brainfuck is associative yo
01:17:37  i guess it's just wadler's law again
01:17:39  i'm pretty sure you only need a cfg for java...
01:17:48  Pierce through the lies, see the higher algebraic structure
01:17:57  people are hung up on concrete syntax so they think the way to make a "brain fucking" language is to have bad syntax rather than strange semantics
01:18:06  Isn't C++ context-sensitive?
01:18:20  c++ is ambiguous, as I recall, with the lexer hack and everything
01:18:25  I was actually thinking of Perl.
01:19:01  parsing perl is undecidable
01:19:05  Well, no one is arguing about comment syntax for brainfuck derivatives yet
01:19:12  Jafet: don't be too sure
01:19:42  since all non-command characters are comments, i think all derivatives are arguments about comment syntax
01:19:55  haha.
01:20:40  Phantom_Hoover: C is context sensitive.
01:21:20  i wish i lived in a world where wikipedia articles were didactically useful :(

01:23:07  shapr says: I've tried to teach people autodidactism, but I've realized they have to learn it for themselves.

01:23:36  i thought you were just another lurker
01:23:59  I'm a hydralisk

01:25:34  kmc: Was that added in response to your post?

01:37:01  i don't know
01:39:21  oerjan: that would allow cycles

07:34:51  > [1..] ^.. taking 5 traverse
07:34:54    *Exception: stack overflow
07:35:03  An easy way to fix this would be to use unsafePartsOf
07:35:16  But then it only works for Traversals
07:35:20  We want it to work for Folds.
07:35:23  taking seems to use unsafePartsOf.
07:35:28  Does it?
07:35:36  Are you looking at the git repository?
07:35:44  yes
07:35:46  That's a recent commit.
07:35:53  Previously it was written like dropping
07:36:34  So for that version, it's reasonably lazy, but the problem is the type.
07:36:40  (Also it's a hack.)
07:38:52  Well, the problem is the implementation, not just the type.

16:42:04  Phantom_Hoover, the blood spouting from Gamzee's current wounds is a different colour to the blood from when Nepeta scratched his face
16:42:36  homestuck ruined forever
16:43:41  this is exceedingly frustrating
16:43:59  at least two dorfs have run directly over a dead carpenter's corpse without remarking upon it at all
16:44:02  he's still just 'missing
16:44:04  '
16:44:16  Maybe they didn't recognize him
16:44:27  "Hey, there's a dead dorf here. Is that Urist!?"
16:44:29  "Nah
16:44:30  "
16:44:36  "Urist had more blood"
16:45:26  the especially annoying part is that as a result of this i can't actually convict anyone for it
16:45:41  "Urist's blood was a different color."
16:45:55  this isn't the homestuck mod!
16:46:28  I still have no idea who the vampire actually /is/, unfortunately.
16:47:24  Who doesn't have a bedroom
16:47:45  hahaha as if i have enough bedrooms for everyone
16:48:09  Aha, it's the strand extractor!
16:48:16  The... Great strand extractor.
16:48:31  I am not killing her, vampire though she may be.
16:48:35  Put him in a locked strand extracting room
16:48:51  With a hole in the ceiling for dumping raw adamantine
16:49:03  And a hole in the floor for dumping the extracted strands
16:49:35  Pretty much the plan.
16:49:53  wouldn't she get annoyed, or starve to death, or something?
16:49:55  I'll probably go for an airlock system for the strands though.
16:50:07  ais523_, vampires don't need to eat or drink.
16:50:18  hmm
16:50:23  what's the downside?
16:50:29  None, really.
16:50:30  They kill people
16:50:32  they try to kill people I think?
16:50:32  elliott: You have 8 new messages. '/msg lambdabot @messages' to read them.
16:50:39  For shit and giggles, evidently
16:50:52  She can't improve her skills but strand extraction takes ages to train anyway.
16:51:29  She works really slowly due to an outstanding bug with alcohol dependence but again, strand extraction normally takes so long it'll still be an improvement.
16:51:34  does DF have any equivalent of a conveyor belt?
16:51:41  Minecarts!
16:51:49  and what are strands anyway?
16:52:15 -!- augur has joined.
16:52:37  Adamantine is the top-tier metal in DF, and you refine the raw deposits into strands and then into wafers.
16:53:11  Raw adamantine → strands takes an incredibly long time.
16:53:17  and then make things with the wafers?
16:53:22  Yep.
16:53:27  also, doesn't mining too much adamantine release demons?
16:54:29  Fortunately you can avoid that if you avoid mining the walls of the spires.
16:54:36  ais523_: well there is hell
16:54:41  but you just have to tip-toe around it
16:54:56  ah, you can mine in a pattern that just avoids hell
16:54:59  and, umm, ends up beneath it?
16:55:09  The bit leading to hell is a small shaft in the middle of fixed size, so you can infer where it is.
16:55:33  No, hell is underneath a layer of impenetrable rock at the bottom of the map.
16:55:52  ah right
16:57:08  The adamantine deposits are narrow spires rising out of that, through a sea of magma, and a variable distance into the rock above.
16:57:24  Phantom_Hoover: apparently you can enter hell using a demonic fortress in adventure mode.
16:58:05  Yeah, you can.
16:58:23  I imagine it's a bitch to actually find one though.

19:06:48  perhaps some day in the far future, computer science will invent a way to build parsers other than hand coded control flow around regular expressions

19:09:26  this is my sarcastic way of saying "perhaps in the far future programmers will generally be aware of useful CS shit that has existed for decades"
19:09:33  :D
19:10:40  parsing context-free grammars and their various extensions is like one of the most researched things in cs conferences. it's such an oversolved problem that people start snoring when there's a talk about that stuff.

19:13:13  The mysterious world of computer science
19:13:45  i hear google tried to use context-free stuff for their translator. but turned out regexps worked way better for automation with such a supermassive data set.
19:13:50  kmc, if I remember, I am going to one day turn up at a computer science conference for a talk that I am presenting, screaming, naked, and covered in blood.
19:14:13  Just because I missed that joke until after I wrote that
19:14:22  a computer scientist told me about this in shame.
19:15:30  yeah, that makes sense
19:15:36  natural language is messy too
19:16:19  that a CFG is not sufficient and/or good for parsing human languages might not be news for people who know stuff about that stuff
19:17:02  news in general might not be news for people who know stuff about the stuff that the news is supposedly news about
19:17:27  it makes sense, but it's a bit sad because "the right solution" (from cs point of view) should be the best one _especially_ for such a large-scale thing.
19:18:23  luckily i don't have to think about these kinds of things, CA aren't useful for anything anyway.
19:19:43  olsner: it's much nicer to make a CFG for a subset of english than make a regexp for a subset of english though.

23:05:02  what ambassador can i be?????
23:05:47 -!- nooga has joined.
23:05:50  Python threads suck, therefore concurrency is a bad concept. MySQL sucks, therefore relational databases are fundamentally wrong. Java sucks, therefore static type systems are worthless.
23:05:51  `addquote  unfortunately df is not yet able to simulate norway
23:05:56  866)  unfortunately df is not yet able to simulate norway
23:07:43  kmc: I think most people who complain about concurrency complain about how hard it is to reason about.
23:07:53  Python concurrency is, if I remember correctly, unusually easy to reason about. :-)
23:08:16  kmc: depending on what you mean by concurrency i'd agree with the firts
23:08:17  *first
23:08:18  but whenever somebody suggests improving python threading, the response is always like "you shouldn't ever use threads for anything anyway"
23:08:40  right now i have a very specific need which would be easily solved by a competent threading implementation
23:11:25  What's the need?
23:11:39  holy balls http://stackoverflow.com/questions/323972/is-there-any-way-to-kill-a-thread-in-python
23:11:45  calling the CPython API from ctypes LIKE A BOSS
23:11:54  shachaf: need to call a function with a time limit
23:12:00  kmc: what is your need
23:12:01  oh you said that
23:12:03  can't use SIGALRM because it interferes with python's shitty threading
23:12:07  which django is already forcing me to use
23:12:22  isn't this what that multiprocessing thing is for
23:12:41  i think that library is also steaming dog shit
23:12:43  but it might work
23:12:48  kmc: People in #haskell are talking about how to preserve its "niceness culture". You should post that post you wrote about it.
23:14:02  kmc, ... oh, I don't actually need to do your use case, thought I did but I don't
23:14:27  doubt it will play nicely with django
23:14:35  "Functionality within this package requires that the __main__ module be importable by the children."
23:14:47  kmc, I'm sort of abusing Python threading to work around a blocking API, although there's nonblocking versions but those require Tornado or Twisted
23:16:05  hm no fuck this module
23:16:15  i will just os.fork() and send the result back over a pipe and /fuck it/
23:16:23  you can kill python threads you know
23:16:30  it's just unsafe
23:16:33  like killing threads in almost all languages
23:16:56  there isn't a public or reliable API for doing it either
23:17:44  that applies to most languages though
23:17:55  does it?
23:17:58  maybe the reliable part
23:18:02  for instance you can't reliably kill a pthread
23:18:04  by design
23:18:14  GHC Haskell does have asynchronous exceptions and at least some thought put into making them safe
23:18:18  i realize it's not perfect
23:18:25  AFAIK GHC is the only runtime that offers thread-killing that you are actually allowed to use
23:18:30  ok
23:18:32  not Java?
23:18:41  "See this thread by Sun on why they deprecated Thread.stop(). It goes into detail about why this was a bad method and what should be done to safely stop threads in general.
23:18:41  "
23:18:45  yeah
23:18:46  "The way they recomend is to use a shared variable as a flag which asks the background thread to stop. This variable can then be set by a different object requesting the thread terminate."
23:18:46  sigh
23:18:58  is calling function with a timeout really that unreasonable of a goal?
23:19:01  the problem is that killing a thread is roughly a fundamentally unsafe operation
23:19:10  yes i believed you the first 8 times you told me so
23:19:10  especially, it more or less makes sure you cannot have any sort of guarantees
23:19:20  kmc: that was the first time I said that
23:19:25  maybe you misinterpreted other things I said as meaning that
23:19:35  kmc: anyway calling a pure function with a timeout is reasonable
23:19:36  impure, not so much
23:19:45  what if it changes state? what if it acquires a lock?
23:19:49  the thing i want is conceptually a pure function, although who knows what it uses internally
23:19:52  what if it does blocking IO?
23:19:55  answer: a bunch of poorly written regex parsing
23:19:57  right
23:19:58  GHC gets away with the last one by never doing blocking IO
23:20:00  it could go wrong
23:20:03  but that's a lot of work
23:20:05  but i think i could get away with it in this case
23:20:08  right
23:20:19  so you are doing something unsafe in general
23:20:23  but which works for your usecase
23:20:28  that sounds like a good use of a non-public API :P
23:20:34  there are degrees
23:20:58  unsafe things should still be public and documented when possible
23:21:00  harm reduction, man
23:21:01  °
23:21:08  I think the thread-killing stuff is actually documented? not sure
23:21:22 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
23:21:22  well it may be documented as part of the CPython "API"
23:21:28  aka "the parts of the interpreter we decided to not make static"
23:21:39  anyway it is not like it is the only thing about threads which are unsafe and break guarantees
23:21:54  I think concurrent imperative programs are basically a dead end, I don't see any way to make them feasible to reason about at all
23:22:25  i disagree, i think with good tools for managing the diffusion of shared state, it can work
23:22:28  but anyway
23:22:30  i don't even want shared state
23:22:33  just a timeout on a pure function
23:22:45 -!- zzo38 has joined.

00:57:20  information-theoretically, how much do you lose by insisting on a self-synchronizing code

01:12:47  *code words
01:15:45  i think so too
01:15:49  or, sufficiently many code words
01:16:00  the framing is a constant amount of mutual information between the sender and receiver

01:47:24  kind of an odd response
01:47:34  it starts with "Thanks for pointing this out. And we will likely change it."
01:47:45  and then explains various reasons why they shouldn't have to change it and don't want to
01:48:58  haha
01:49:00  what are the reasons
01:49:19  predictable ones
01:49:28  (1) we didn't mean that so it doesn't count  (2) even if we *did* mean that it'd be okay
01:49:34  (3) ???
01:49:34  yeah
01:49:53  i will unfairly paraphrase them as "it's your fault for noticing that the word 'craftsman' is based on the word 'man'"
01:50:06  also "thinking of non-gendered terms is simply beyond my ability as a writer"
01:51:11  "craftspeople" hth
01:51:56  ends with 'Do you think we can ever live in a world where we can say "all woman created equal" or "craftsman"  without everyone getting upset?  Where people don't read into meanings that aren't there.'
01:52:04  which is a pretty perfect opportunity to link http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/cs655/readings/purity.html
01:52:34  do you think we can ever live in a world where people who make shitty javascript frameworks don't consider themselves authorities on everything
01:52:35  also i guess this is one of those areas where calmly pointing out the unintended consequences of someone's actions is equivalent to "getting upset"
01:52:40  elliott: no hth
01:53:30  kmc: imo point out that "all woman created equal" isn't grammatically correct
01:53:43  heh
02:02:01  You could just use Text. :-)
02:02:04  Er.

02:02:16  ugh, the "I didn't /intend/ to be sexist/racist/etc, so it wasn't"
02:02:28  kmc: That was the response you expected, right?
02:02:58  also they cited south park to make some unclear point
02:03:01  which is... not a great sign
02:03:05  shachaf: i expected worse
02:03:08  sounds like a bingo to me
02:03:33  "you think i'm sexist? well that just makes you sexistist!"
02:03:34  like, they are saying incorrect things, but in a way which is potentially open to calm discussion, and they *did* say they're going to change it
02:03:44  which is better than i hoped because i'm a misanthrope

02:12:06  um
02:12:07  newcomers
02:12:21  excuse me
02:12:25  Newcomers always demand so much attention!
02:12:26  mmm zalgo
02:12:27  i just spent several minutes welcoming Fiora
02:12:29  i wrote that zalgoizer
02:12:36  kmc: I know!
02:12:37  rather upset at the implication that i don't like newbies
02:12:42  Back in the golden days of kmc+#haskell
02:12:58  Newcomers always need to be welcomed 12 different ways.
02:13:00  mostly i like that it uses literal combining characters in the source
02:13:01  So annoying!
02:13:07  i wonder if a strict reading of the haskell report would reject it
02:13:08  Fiora: also where did you come from. this is part of your mandatory #esoteric survey
02:13:16  a) hexham b) finland c) other
02:13:20  um, Bike invited me
02:13:21  I linked her kmc's article on jit spraying.
02:13:26  noted
02:13:31  i believe in fact that Fiora was here yesterday
02:13:39  you both have short names that start with an uppercase letter so that makes sense
02:13:51  11:55  Fiora: well we all hate Lolcode here, that's similar
02:13:51  drat, our camouflage foiled
02:13:54  i noticed that we have both a FreeFull and FireFly, that's confusing
02:14:01  kmc: can't bring out all the welcomes before you know someone's serious
02:14:22 * oerjan swats FireFly for confusing people -----###
02:14:23  Fiora: You know, I never got the welcome treatment.
02:14:38 * oerjan then swats Fiora for confusing his tab completion -----###
02:14:45  owwwww
02:14:58  kmc: Did you ever get `welcomed?
02:15:05  Fiora: it's ok. you'll get used to it. after a while the swats don't even hurt
02:15:13  I've been registered with nickserv for almost two years longer than FireFly
02:15:13  sometimes i don't even notice i was swatted

02:15:23  but shouldn't you swat, like, the fly
02:15:32  FireFly probably was in the channel before me though

02:35:43  /nick ΚΑΛΛΙΣΤΗΙ
02:35:53  can we start a new trend of kicking people with uppercase nicks
02:35:55  You laugh at the right jokes, you fire back witty (but not to witty) remarks, your eyes take on a extra little sparkle and then, it happens. The 'P' Bomb.
02:36:04  I can't read that because putty sucks at UTF-8 apparently. or maybe it's Windows system fonts or something
02:36:19  hacked by greek
02:36:36  Short for "party bomb", P-Bombs are typically spoken in secret.
02:36:37  Used by people in the party industry, P-bombers talk trash about other people inside and outside of the industry; other party professionals, vendors and clients..
02:36:38  aim hecked
02:36:39  Whether they know it or not, dropping P-bombs works 100% against them.
02:36:58  wow this is a thing
02:37:20  In my humble opinion, Charles Barkley is the greatest on-air talent we have in the United States; I can honestly say that with a straight face. 
02:37:20  He is completely honest and if you can't laugh while watching him on a broadcast then something may be wrong with you.
02:37:20  Last night, the Orlando Magic advanced to the NBA Finals by knocking off LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. However the highlight of the night for me came when Charles Barkley called his producer a p***y on air. 
02:37:22  i'm getting this all from multiple sources i want to be sure i have the right definition
02:37:27  Yes, that's right: Charles Barkley really did say that. Talk about coming out of left field.
02:37:37  The reason you're not finding anything is because there is no such thing as a phosphorus bomb today. The proper name is "incendiary bomb with white phosphorus", and it was outclassed by napalm since Korean War. 
02:37:40  it's the reporters with NO understanding of military terms, that invent names like "phosphorus bomb".

02:39:26  i just realized PuTTY is way awesomer if you read it as "Pu TTY" instead of "putty"
02:39:50  is a party on air anything like when you have a thing "on ice", like with the ice skating puppets and stuff

02:40:14  Each time we venture outside of our beloved Orange Bubble, we are sure to meet and chat with the many non-Princetonians of the world. It is at this time that we are confronted with a perplexing dilemma that can have far-reaching implications for the rest of the interactions we will have with this person: Do we reveal the fact that we go to Princeton? And if we do, how do we go about it?
02:40:14  There seems to be this sense of discomfort, this tendency toward hesitation, whenever a situation arises where we are prompted to disclose the name of our university. This is true not only for Princeton students, but for students of every school that has gained a prestigious reputation. However, to keep the focus on us, there is a Princeton-specific phrase that one of my classmates once used for this sort of university disclosure that I will use 
02:40:15  henceforth, and that phrase is “dropping the P-bomb.”
02:40:27  wow this might be the most pretentious thing ever written
02:40:38  i have a check which is cached
02:40:44  When entering into a conversation with a stranger of the non-Princetonian variety, the accepted protocol is not to first ask what res college the person is from, what they’re planning on majoring in and the other banal college questions we like to ask each other, but to start off more broadly. Introductions do usually include information about what people do with their lives, however, and it is a normal convention to ask college-age-looking peo
02:40:44  ple if and where they go to school.
02:40:44  When this question arises, we have two viable options: the straight P-bomb route or the New Jersey route. Many of us, I’ve learned, like to first choose the New Jersey route, where we simply answer the question of what college we go to with “ I go to school in New Jersey.”

02:41:09  'did they teach you that word at Talk Like a Dick School'
02:41:12  [...]
02:41:12  The first possibility is this: We are not uncomfortable with dropping the P-bomb at all. In fact, maybe it’s our favorite thing to do. Maybe we love that moment when people ask us where we go to school so much that we draw it out, make it last longer, make a production out of it. They ask what school we go to, we name a state instead. Answering in this vague way effectively doubles the number of questions we get to answer about where we go to s
02:41:12  chool, and we love that. And the suspense! We create this awesome level of suspense so that when they ask question number two — “Where in New Jersey?” — we can really drive it home with a nice, resounding “Princeton!”

02:52:54  KALLISTI: Not what I mean. I mean that multiple customer purchase it, combine it, to make it such that you now have a new watermark which is difficult to trace to the individuals unless you know the key you used.
02:55:36  I see I've been quoted.
02:55:53  I wonder if I was quoted saying that there is no computable set of axioms in first-order logic that uniquely defines the natural numbers.
02:56:06  ...Gee, there's no computable set of aximos in first-order logic that uniquely defines the natural numbers.
02:56:09  That's pretty weird.
02:56:47  tswett: what about:
02:57:05  "1. numbers 2. natural"
02:58:00  Good job, you've successfully broken mathematics.
02:58:20  This will cause the world to explode in 1,000 days.
02:58:46  so how bout them natural numbers, eh? ain't no computable set of axioms what can uniquely define them
02:59:32  I know, right?
02:59:34  That sure is weird.
02:59:58  It makes me want to, like, postulate two hypothetical non-isomorphic standard models of the natural numbers.
03:01:00  Let's do that now.  Let Na be a model of the natural numbers in which Goldbach's conjecture is false, and Nb be a model of the natural numbers in which Goldbach's conjecture is true.
03:01:06  kmc: not in first order logic
03:01:41  So in Na, there exists a natural number (call it g) that cannot be written as the sum of two primes.  But in Nb, there is no such natural numbers.
03:01:58  Does g also exist in Nb?  If so, then Nb must have some prime numbers that are absent from Na, right?
03:02:09  Is Goldbach's conjecture undecidable? Does it depend on models of natural numbers?
03:02:24  zzo38: yes if and only if yes.
03:02:29  Respectively.
03:02:51  I think it doesn't make much sense to say that Na and Nb both contain g, but Nb contains numbers smaller than g that Na does not contain.
03:02:55  O, but other than that it mean you don't know?
03:03:03  what's really crazy is that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadwiger%E2%80%93Nelson_problem might depend on set theoretic axioms
03:03:17  zzo38: ...I think that's right.
03:03:51  So what does make sense to me is to say that Na contains all the numbers that Nb contains, and then some.
03:03:57 -!- Arc_Koen has quit (Quit: Arc_Koen).
03:04:13  Are there really different models of natural numbers which are not equivalent?
03:04:37  zzo38: well, it depends on what you mean by "models of natural numbers", exactly.  If you mean "models of the first-order Peano axioms", then yes, certainly.
03:04:37  I would think:   data Natural = Zero | Succ !Natural;
03:05:00  That's not a set of first-order axioms, though; that's a Haskell statement.
03:05:40  I know. But I thought it is equivalent?
03:05:42  zzo38: ⊥ :: Natural
03:06:10  COLON HYPHEN-MINUS LEFT PARENTHESIS?????
03:06:47  Well, if you ignore bottom, I mean.
03:06:53  kmc: I dunno, that's not so crazy to me.  In the past, the real numbers used to seem ill-defined to me.  Then I learned how they were defined, but they still seemed all iffy and abstract.
03:07:12  zzo38: well, yeah, that's kind of what the problem is.  How do you say "ignore bottom" in first-order logic?
03:09:08  real numbers is hax
03:09:21  Okay, so Nb is a model of the natural numbers containing a counterexample to Goldbach's conjecture.  Na is a model containing no such thing.  We're also postulating that Nb is a supermodel of Na.
03:09:32  Say that a "nubber" is a number that's in Nb, but not in Na.
03:09:59  R is just P(N)
03:10:13  And a "namber" is one that's in Na.  Aye?
03:10:25  is it a hyphen? or is it a minus? only your wallet knows for sure.
03:10:50  "don't believe the hype hen"
03:11:02  So the nambers are closed under addition, right?  And multiplication, I think... exponentiation I'm not sure about.
03:11:08  double_facepalm.jpg
03:11:11  tswett: by "standard models" did you mean "non-standard models" above?
03:11:28  kmc: nope.
03:11:33  how can they both be standard?
03:11:36  I was kind of going for multiple standard models.
03:11:48  Well, how do you define "standard" here?
03:11:52  oh because we're talking about two different universes, with different results for t he goldbach conjecture
03:11:58  and the "standard" model in each one
03:12:04  That sounds right.
03:12:12  but it's not thought that goldbach is actually independent of axioms, ja?
03:12:37  It seems perfectly plausible that it is.
03:13:04  i have no idea how to even think about the plausibility of that statement
03:13:09  anyway please do proceed with your original train of thought
03:13:24  TRAAAAAIN
03:13:27  Well, does Goldbach's conjecture seem like it's probably decidable to you?
03:13:31  But I thought, natural numbers is just zero and successor? Therefore how can there be different models following this specification which are different Goldbach's? Since you can define addition, multiplication, etc, using finite numbers. Using something like Typographical Number Theory that might not be the case though, but if you define like zero and successor instead it seem.
03:13:32  sea dot sea
03:13:33  It's independent of the axioms if and only if it's undecidable.
03:14:09  zzo38: "just zero and successor" isn't a set of first-order axioms, either.
03:14:52  kmc: You should come back to #cslounge!
03:15:29  tswett: Well, yes, "just zero and successor" is like the Haskell statement I mentioned above, instead. Therefore, do you need a set of first-order axioms which means this specifically?
03:15:30  The first-order Peano axioms are a set of first-order axioms.  They're infinite, but they're also a computable set.
03:15:53  shachaf: like a thief in the night
03:16:16  zzo38: well, I'm *talking about* sets of first-order axioms.
03:16:30  So if you want to talk about the same thing that I'm talking about, then yes, you need a set of first-order axioms.
03:17:35  I hate politeness.
03:17:51  It makes it impossible to ask someone "Hey, does this site work well for you" and actually get useful info
03:18:37 -!- tswett has set topic: E_TOPTOOOLD | the good news is, /usr/bin/make-loud-noises works. the bad news is, I think I just woke everyone up. | http://codu.org/logs/_esoteric/.
03:19:06  what does it do
03:19:44  kmc, what, you want to test?
03:20:59  In Wikipedia "Peano axioms", if you just use 2,3,4,5 for eqality, and then you should define it. Is the zero and successor can be made the axioms from that? Due to such things as induction and so on, possibly not... and, is it infinite? They list nine axioms.
03:21:28  /usr/bin/make-loud-noises
03:21:41  they're axiom schema, aren't they
03:22:01  zzo38: axiom 9 is stated twice.  First, it's stated as a second-order axiom, not a first-order axiom; second, it's stated as an infinite axiom schema.
03:22:59  O, it is an axiom schema. Now I can understand.
03:23:26  TNT has induction as a rule rather than axiom.
03:24:49  They also say "if there is a proof that starts from just these axioms and derives a contradiction such as 0 = 1, then the axioms are inconsistent, and don't define anything" but, if there would be such thing even if you omit axiom 7 or axiom 3, does it define anything?
03:25:07  "In particular, he gained international notoriety for his claims that blowing up the Moon would solve virtually every problem of human existence"
03:25:42  what
03:25:54  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Abian
03:26:12  zzo38: uhh, let me rephrase your question, and you can tell me if I rephrased it correctly.
03:26:50  "Suppose that, if you remove axioms from the Peano axioms, you can get an inconsistent system.  Then are the Peano axioms inconsistent?"
03:27:01  «Abian said that "Those critics who say 'Dismiss Abian's ideas' are very close to those who dismissed Galileo."» usenet has the best cranks.
03:28:13  tswett: No. That is not what I meant. I meant that if you have 0=1 it seem would be to contradict the axioms I specified. So, if it is inconsistent, and then does that make it not inconsistent?
03:28:59  I don't know what you mean by "the axioms [you specified]", nor by the "it" in "if it is inconsistent", nor the "it" in "does that make it not inconsistent".
03:29:15  s/ specified]/] specified/
03:29:50  kmc: Why would he say such things? Perhaps if they destroy humans it would solve that problem, if destroying the moon would have such effect, but still it won't help since it would mess up everything else too. Best way is allow planets to move how they do, to keep the solar system in order.
03:30:17  tswett: I mean axiom 3 and 7, I mean if you have 0=1 even if removing one of those two axioms.
03:30:21  zzo38 makes a good point
03:30:48  tswett: so, looking at tennenbaum's theorem... could you have an uncountable model of peano with computable arithmetic?
03:31:01  zzo38: yeah, sorry, I don't understand what you said, and I don't understand your attempts to get me to understand what you said.
03:31:16  Bike: no.
03:31:23  tswett: Oops, sorry!!!!
03:31:30  why not?
03:31:30  Bike: er, wait.  Hm.
03:32:05  I thought Tennenbaum's theorem said that no nonstandard model of Peano arithmetic can be recursive; it actually says that no *countable* nonstandard model of Peano arithmetic can be recursive.
03:32:43  that's what I was referring to, yeah.
03:32:59  Bike: well, the thing is, I don't think "computable" makes sense as a property of uncountable sets.  We only speak of the computability of a set of it contains only finite strings, I think.  And no uncountable set contains only finite strings.
03:33:49  yeah, that's why I said computable arithmetic instead of computable set.
03:34:52  "Computable function" can be defined as "function that, when considered as a set, is a computable set".
03:35:16  And "computable arithmetic" presumably means "collection of arithmetic functions, each of which is a computable function".
03:36:18  so no models with computably dealt with nonstandard numbers, then
03:40:47  Yeah, that sounds true.
03:52:06  did you know there's no computable set of axioms in first-order logic that uniquely identifies when tswett will shut up about there being no computable set of axioms in first-order logic that can uniquely define the natural numbers
03:52:53  I will shut up about it after a non-standard amount of time.
03:53:16  how about right now
03:53:22  alt. in the past????
03:53:33  either works
03:53:49  Nope, it's only been 23 seconds.  23 is a standard number.
03:53:59  how about eleventeen
03:54:09  I'm not sure.
03:54:31  Can you give me a first-order formula defining eleventeen?
04:00:35  11 = succ succ succ succ succ succ succ succ succ succ succ 0
04:00:53  > succ succ succ succ succ succ succ succ succ succ succ 0

04:00:58  yes
04:01:06  did you know there's no computable set of axioms in first-order logic that uniquely identifies what will make tswett shut up about there being no computable set of axioms in first-order logic that can uniquely define the natural numbers
04:01:27  shachaf: sorry, I was away for a bit...  also my local time should really be PDT but I kind of forgot how to set it on this linux box

04:09:32  at least it was when I set this thing up
04:09:37  but I might be wrong 
04:09:41  do EC2 instances cost reasonable amounts of money yet
04:09:46  i think that has changed
04:09:51  elliott: my micro instance is free for a year :D
04:09:54  but in general 'no'
04:10:03  i mean it is reasonable if you actually need fancy dynamic scaling
04:10:05  I just use my free micro as an IRC bouncer thing for my irssi
04:10:07  i think it's a reasonable fee for that
04:10:24  most of their users are not that, they're just startups with too much money who don't think of traditional dedicated hosting
04:10:27 * kmc guilty

04:11:59  Fiora: there is an experimental cygwin port
04:11:59  i know what mosh is kmc
04:12:33  oh wow, they actually have it inside the cygwin packagemanager
04:12:56  cygwin is not the most elegant solution here but nobody has really come forward to do the work for a native windows port
04:13:01  oh, now it's deciding it has to upgrade my entire cygwin installation
04:13:08  probably good to do that anyways.
04:13:11  elliott: XD
04:13:15  heh
04:13:29  um, I'm guessing I'd have to install a server on my amazon ec2 instance?
04:13:54  yeah it's in fedora
04:13:58  you just install the mosh package on the server
04:14:03  >No package mosh available.
04:14:04  eep
04:14:07  oh, might be too old
04:14:25  at least it's fairly easy to compile mosh yourself
04:14:29  since you don't need to set up a daemon or anything
04:14:34  yeah the dependencies should be in fedora

04:18:24  and nothing had needed g++ yet so I didn't notice
04:18:36  and the configure script somehow got past that check without noticing it was missing I think <_<
04:18:41  nice error for it
04:19:02  kmc: nice rant on the mosh issue tracker "I tried using Mosh for the connection persistence, and nothing I read prior to using it gave me a clear indication that it was anything but an ordinary shell with an improved transport. When Mosh discarded some important output I had no idea what was going on, and I wasted a few days (calendar time, several hours actual troubleshooting time) looking at everything else because it didn't occur to me that a 
04:19:02  tool for persistent connections and better latency would also throw away my data. After that, I can't trust you, not because the way Mosh works is unreasonable, but because the way it is described fails to convey that you can't count on receiving the complete output of any command."

04:20:46  There is memory that's faster than that CPU
04:20:56  Yeah, I had that experience once when I had to play with an, um... I think it was a 600mhz arm
04:21:00  Jafet: Doubtful.
04:21:02  yeah i saw that
04:21:18  Jafet: The memory bus speed might be 1.33GHz, but the RAM's internal clock is at 200MHz.
04:21:25  As has been the norm for a decade now.
04:22:32  it just feels weird to like, compile on something 20 times slower than my computer
04:23:21  Try using qemu sometime.
04:24:13 -!- Frooxius has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds).
04:24:54  Fiora: PDT?
04:24:58 -!- ogrom has quit (Quit: Left).
04:25:07  I didn't think they used that anywhere, this time of year.
04:25:15  shachaf: America/Los_Angeles . :)
04:25:30  zoneinfo time zone naming is so much better.
04:25:30  okay PST I guess ^^;;
04:25:32  I always forget which is which
04:25:33  PST!
04:25:36  That's the time zone to be in!
04:25:38  @localtime
04:25:42  Local time for shachaf is Mon Nov 19 20:25:39 2012
04:25:45  @localtime
04:25:51  Local time for Fiora is Mon Nov 19 20:25:46 2012
04:25:57  Daylight time sucks.
04:26:00  does it just use dcc, or what
04:26:02  Fiora: Hmm, looks like you're 7 seconds ahead of me.
04:26:08  the message came later
04:26:09 * pikhq_ lives basically on the MST meridian!
04:26:11  @localtime
04:26:16  Local time for pikhq_ is Mon Nov 19 21:26:12 2012
04:26:27  I think the 7 seconds is just the gap between them...?
04:26:30  i don't really like zoneinfo naming
04:26:34  singles out single areas weirdly
04:26:35  i believe that is The Joke, fiora.
04:26:42  .... oh <_>  sorry
04:26:52  elliott: It's saner than any other timezone naming scheme I've seen though.
04:26:54  have you noticed your eyes are pointing away from each other
04:27:06  pikhq_: well UTC+n and UTC-n are pretty good
04:27:08  Other than, of course, constant offsets from UTC, but that requires saner *time zones* in the first place.
04:27:12  Bike: Are you also in PST?
04:27:17  UTC+0(1)
04:27:22  San Francisco is The Place To Be, as you know.
04:27:35  elliott: Doesn't tell enough *at all*.
04:27:49  shachaf: rather far from LA, but yes
04:27:55  elliott: hi should foo :: Fol.Foldable f => f a -> [a]; foo = ($ []) . appEndo . Fol.foldMap (\x -> Endo (x:)) be a function
04:28:00  monqy: ☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝
04:28:07  hi
04:28:09  hi
04:28:22  Bike: I was in LA once!
04:28:26  Assuming you mean Los Angeles.
04:28:27  what's appEndo?  applicative endomorphism
04:28:28  elliott: To give you an idea: the state of Indiana has *11* different zoneinfo entries.
04:28:30  Not Louisiana.
04:28:32  Or Los Alamos.
04:28:33  yeah but indiana doesn't exist
04:28:39  shachaf i need some "lens help"
04:28:41  Or Laos?
04:28:49  Bike: newtype Endo a = Endo { appEndo :: a -> a }
04:28:50  monqy: uh oh
04:28:52  im sory i cant go through with this joke
04:28:55  i.e. appEndo :: Endo a -> (a -> a)
04:28:59  I wonder if laos has ever been called LA in the history of the universe
04:28:59  elliott can you finish it
04:29:02  monqy: no
04:29:03  monqy: do it
04:29:03  deliver the punchline
04:29:06  :(
04:29:07  you have to
04:29:09  its your duty
04:29:22  monqy: do it
04:29:22  Bike: well laos is .la isn't it
04:29:25  and that tld is used for los angeles!
04:29:27  stuff
04:29:29  (wrongly)
04:29:39  Fiora: help what are you doing in laos
04:29:51  i m sory i cant
04:29:54  I'm south of LA, not in laos
04:29:55  the delivery is wack
04:29:55  monqy: i believe in you
04:30:02  I was south of LA!
04:30:05  I kind of instintively hate cctlds though, so I refuse to acknowledge their existence, sorry about that
04:30:06  I went to San Diego.
04:30:28  i think i've been in LA a couple times, roasting on the asphalt gridlock probably
04:30:30  i don't like cctlds much
04:30:31  I don't like daylight saving time. Also, the time zones is not designed best but I don't know what is best. One way is using precise time zones using same hours/minutes/second as the angle.
04:30:54  zzo38 has a plan to redesign time zones?
04:30:55  monqy: you can do it
04:31:01  elliott: "took me by surprise"
04:31:14  (When the (sidereal) hour is angle, 1 hour = 15 degrees, which is used to measure right ascensions and hour angles.)
04:31:22  elliott: but how!!!
04:31:25  monqy: do it
04:31:26  However, solar time is not exactly like UTC it is only by average.
04:31:30  monqy: use "your creativity"
04:31:31  shachaf: can you do it for me
04:31:46  no monqy
04:31:54  there comes a time in every monqys life
04:32:01  when that monqy must finish their own jokes
04:32:21  monqy: for once in my life i'm gonna have to agree with shachaf
04:32:31  shachaf: im sorry its up to you now. search for "the joke" on the Lens documentation at http://tedlab.mit.edu/~dr/Lens/ using the Lens documention's Search It feature
04:32:42  elliott: im sorry
04:32:49  Actually I don't have plan to redesign time zones. I just have some ideas having to do with time zones.
04:32:57  monqy: help whats a search.php
04:33:11  shachaf: surprise you got joked
04:33:23  imo look at search.php's contents
04:33:28  monqy: that was a pretty bad delivery monqy
04:33:31  "it includes the shell command executed to do the search"
04:33:33  you screwed up your one chance to make that joke
04:33:44  phphphphphphphphphphphphphphphphphphphphphphphphphphphphp
04:33:44  elliott: i told you i couldnt do it!!!!
04:33:50  monqy: you didn't even include the fact that you are personally using lens currently!!
04:33:57  im sorry monqy its just not good enough
04:33:57  leave
04:33:59  shachaf: the joke is im using this thing
04:34:00  it... downloads the php
04:34:02  leave
04:34:03  is this real
04:34:09  ρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρηρη
04:34:29  monqy: its not optional. this is your penance
04:34:41  may i asked to be kicked
04:34:44  it's what shachaf would do
04:34:47  and you agree with shachaf right
04:35:30  kmc: RHR?
04:35:44  monqy: no
04:35:50  monqy: i dont want to get kicked!!
04:35:55  elliott: you disagree with shachaf right
04:35:56  dont "spread rumours" monqy
04:36:37  elliott: help
04:36:44  elliott: "i really cant figure out this lens issue"
04:37:02  elliott: ooh ooh can i make the joke now
04:37:04  elliott: "maybe its because i spend all my time complaining about it instead of thinking about it"
04:37:24  search the lens document for "the issue". i am using this software.
04:37:29  elliott: did i do it good
04:37:32  monqy: no sorry
04:37:34  please
04:37:38  leave before you embarrass yourself further
04:37:39  at least for a minute
04:37:42  everybody is crying
04:37:43  i refuse
04:37:44  monqy: dont leave
04:37:50  now im conflicted
04:37:50  monqy: we all love you monqy
04:37:56  monqy
04:37:57  ♥ monqy
04:38:01  ♥onqy
04:38:02  this wont be tolerated
04:38:12  make me not tolerate it!!!!
04:38:15  ok
04:38:16  im doing it
04:38:22  im focusing my hatred
04:38:31  copumpkin: "should i read that book"
04:38:42  ?
04:38:49  _Concrete Mathematics_
04:39:11  I heard it's good.
04:39:20 -!- monqy has quit (Quit: Lost terminal).
04:39:31  oh
04:39:34  yeah!
04:40:00  Hawaii did experiment with DST for three weeks between April 30, 1933 and May 21, 1933; there is no known official record as to why it was implemented or discontinued.[18][unreliable source?] Hawaii has never observed daylight saving time under the Uniform Time Act, having opted out of the Act's provisions in 1967.[19]
04:40:03  @tell monqy you can come back now
04:40:03  Consider it noted.
04:40:11  copumpkin: You read it?
04:40:20  yep
04:41:37  um, kmc, I installed protobuf from source (just configure and sudo make install...?) but mosh says it can't find it
04:41:49  "package protobuf was not found in the pkg-config search path"
04:43:19  Fiora: What distribution-thing are you using?
04:43:28 * shachaf recommends strace
04:43:33  it's the amazon ec2 fedora thing
04:43:53 * shachaf randomly wonders whether `ldconfig` will fix it.
04:44:02  Maybe it's an issue of paths and /usr/local/?
04:44:10  Why not install protobuf from a package?
04:44:19  because the system doesn't seem to have it as a package :<
04:44:19  RHR Hypertext... Rearranger?
04:45:41  I guess I can try rebuilding it and stuffing it in /usr...
04:46:05  No, don't do that!
04:46:12 * shachaf doesn't know how pkg-config finds things.
04:46:21  I have no idea either >_<
04:46:24  it uses uhhh
04:46:27  PKG_CONFIG_PATH or something
04:46:30  @google fedora protobuf
04:46:32  https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/protobuf
04:46:36  Does that not exist?
04:46:43  apparently it is PKG_CONFIG_PATH
04:47:00  sudo yum install protobuf
04:47:00  Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities, security, update-motd, upgrade-helper
04:47:03  also did i actually just get monqy to leave
04:47:04  Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * amzn-main: packages.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
04:47:06  i didn't want to do that!!
04:47:07   * amzn-updates: packages.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
04:47:10  Setting up Install Process
04:47:12  No package protobuf available.
04:47:12  elliott: "ok but what if that variable is unset"
04:47:16  Fiora: Did you search?
04:47:24  Maybe it's protobuf-devel or something.
04:47:29  libprotobuff
04:47:31  s/.$//
04:47:36  protoc
04:47:36  search finds no matches
04:47:43  protobuf-compiler
04:47:45  Oh.
04:47:57  sorry... bleh I will just keep using putty I guess, this is a hassle
04:48:07  Fiora: Maybe #mosh would know.
04:48:15  well man pkg-config documents what it does when the path isn't empty
04:48:18  er
04:48:19  is empty
04:48:53 * Fiora goes back to playing civ and reading wikipedia articles on nuclear isomers
04:50:53  Fiora: You should learn about lenses instead!
04:51:07  "lenses: the nuclear isomers of the 21st century??"
04:51:08  Oh, I forgot to list my list
04:51:25  elliott, monqy isn't here, coppro except I think you're not on the list. List.
04:51:30  maybe metameterial lenses?  those sound kind of cool I think
04:51:45  Sgeo: monqy explicitly told you to add Fiora to the list!!
04:51:48  they make lenses out of metamaterials now, huh
04:52:00  Fiora, do you want to be on the list?
04:52:01  Sgeo: Fiora does not wish to be on the list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
04:52:06  what is "the list"? >_<
04:52:11  everyone keeps talking about it but I don't know what it is
04:52:20  Someone should explain
04:52:36  Fiora: You wan't to be on the list.
04:52:39  no i think it is better that way
04:52:43  (That's a contraction for "want not".)
04:52:51  this channel is confusing ;-;
04:53:13  they all are
04:53:15  I'm going to break down in 2 minutes and explain it privately
04:53:23  Sgeo: Wait, what *is* the list?
04:53:31  no
04:53:37  nobody needs explanations
04:53:37  Is it just Homestuck updates or what?
04:53:40  Just noticed Fiora with the explanation
04:53:45  oh no!!!
04:53:46  we're all going to die
04:53:49  Sgeo: help i never got an explanation
04:53:50  brimstone rains from the sky
04:53:51  what is it??
04:53:57  the truth of The List comes to torture us
04:54:02  heavens fall
04:54:08  nations collapse
04:54:09  Sgeo: ohhh!!  put me on the list then
04:54:13  that sounds super useful
04:54:18  all die in an endless fire of suffering
04:54:25  i hope you're happy sgeo
04:54:26  i hope you're happy
04:54:38  perhaps you could make a list of ways the truth of The List will come to torture us, elliott.
04:54:58  It's funnier to leave shachaf out of the loop. Although cruel. But funny.
04:54:59  that was a list Bike
04:55:02  aren't you happy
04:55:07  is my List not good enough
04:55:15  wait is it a list or a List
04:55:25  does it implement the List interface?
04:55:26  what's the difference
04:55:38  i dunno, but there is a difference, so it's probably important
04:55:44  Fiora: help are you java :'(
04:55:52  um, I know a little java but I don't use it much
04:56:03  you should use Real Languages
04:56:10  like m68k assembly
04:56:15  um..... do C and x86 assembly count?
04:56:22  sorry :'(
04:56:23  the only Real Language is TECO
04:56:31  Fiora: or you can use esolangs
04:56:31  you're not nearly swaggerly enough to be a Real Programmer, fiora.  sorry.
04:56:33  like C++
04:56:41  The only real language is @
04:56:44  I ama fake programmer then
04:56:48  @ isn't real, Sgeo
04:56:54  @ is a joke
04:57:00  you're a joke
04:57:03  complex numbers joke here
04:57:03  the list is a joke
04:57:05  your nick is a joke
04:57:07  elliott, it is if I rotate it 90 degrees!
04:57:09  fuck you
04:57:10  Dammit Bike 
04:57:13 * Fiora scribbles assembly opcodes on Bike's sleeve
04:57:21  that's a bad place to put opcodes
04:57:24  imo
04:57:33  Fiora: lets have a low level programming contest
04:57:38  Fiora: how many bytes do you know
04:57:41  i know over 300
04:57:49  how big are these bytes
04:57:52  8 bits
04:57:57  hm
04:57:59  " octets hth"
04:58:02  What a boring answer.
04:58:06  no i refuse to say it

05:02:26  :( sorry
05:02:27  because shachaf already does that a lot better
05:02:31  But that was a fake addquote
05:02:40  I didn't think a fake addquote would be annoying
05:02:46 -!- Jafet has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
05:02:59  elliott: Hey, I thought I stopped the annoying thing!
05:03:08 -!- Jafet has joined.
05:03:44  the real question: what is annoying
05:03:47  @ ← snail
05:03:58  @ is an anaconda that curled itself up
05:04:24  Is it related to python or ASP?
05:04:59  @ isn't related to life
05:06:14  kmc: I don't have any backups.
05:06:19  beyond 1984, beyond 2001, beyond love, beyond death: @
05:06:21  Should I get an external hard drive and back up to it?
05:06:46  you should get an internal soft ride or front down from it
05:06:59  that said, yes
05:07:05  kmc: You mean give?
05:07:21  @ would make a pretty good novel IMO
05:07:21  yeah 
05:07:27  Should I get an external hard drive or an internal hard drive + a box to put a hard drive in?
05:08:25  don't have a strong opinion
05:08:26  Hmm, prices have gone down to pre-flood levels.
05:08:30  i usually do the latter
05:08:40  but that's more because i have one or the other part lying around already
05:09:39  Maybe I should use my $50 Tarsnap credit.

05:40:57  it is elk-shaped, to remind you of home.
05:41:17 * Sgeo is currently eating pasta
05:41:20  With ketchup
05:41:33  Gregor: haha
05:41:37  Sgeo: gross
05:41:56  Gregor: it suggests i buy it with a "KOLON floor protector"
05:42:15  There is no parmesan cheese. I require parmesan cheese. In the absense of parmesan cheese I use ketchup

05:42:26  that is gross and terrible and bad and you should feel bad
05:43:01  ..........
05:43:04  I actually tend to eat more when eating it with ketchup
05:43:13  “In the absense of parmesan cheese I use ketchup”
05:43:19  I…
05:43:23  yeah how does that even make sense
05:43:25  But mixing ketchup and parmesan cheese is gross, I've tried it.
05:43:29  is ketchup a cheese now
05:43:44  Bike, it's a foodstuff that adds some calories and nutrients.
05:43:48  Gregor: Trust me, that's not just your fnarf.
05:43:56  And makes it taste better.
05:43:57  It tastes wrong too.
05:44:03  I don't have any parmesan cheese, so in the absence of parmesan cheese I dump chocolate on it
05:44:25  What's so bad about pasta+ketchup?
05:44:57  as of vatican ii it's a valid basis for excommunication, for one
05:45:34  as was set forth in the famous papal bull "De ketchup nongustabilis"
05:47:02  Sgeo: That seems like the kind of thing people would eat in the great depression.
05:47:10  some heretic sects were using ketchup and pasta instead of wine and bread for the sacrament of the eucharist
05:48:08  some friends of mine had a bet to see who could last the longest eating only free condiments from the uni dining hall
05:48:30  what's a condiment
05:48:51  "things like ketchup?"
05:49:11  yeah
05:49:23  I hope Distance gets enough votes in Greenlight. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=103111305
05:49:27  That sounds disgusting.
05:49:41  I think I like ketchup+pasta more than parmesan cheese+pasta, but parmesan cheese is probably healthier
05:54:14  Normal people eat pasta + tomato sauce, right? What's the difference between tomato sauce and ketchup?
05:54:52  Ketchup is spiced much differently, cooked to a different consistency, much more vinegary, and has lots of sugar.
05:55:52  it's weird that i didn't notice how sweet ketchup is until someone pointed it out to me
05:55:55  but damn
05:56:12  it's vinegar syrup with a slight tomato theme
05:56:29  It's a sweet and sour sauce.
05:56:43  hm, i hadn't thought of that, but yes
05:56:44  So that's good. I don't particularly like tomatos, except as part of pizza.
05:57:07  Sgeo: seriously though, if you like it, eat it, don't let us tell you that it's gross even though it is
05:57:18  taste is so arbitrary
05:57:26  (it is still really gross though)
05:57:47  When I get more parmesan cheese I'll start using that again
05:58:01  Although parmesan cheese is really only really really good with shell-shaped pasta
05:58:12  why is that
05:58:14  disagree
05:58:18  (There's a nostalgia factor at work here)
05:58:20  oh
05:58:21  right
05:58:33  kmc: you know what else is sweet?!
05:58:37  hint: balsamic vinegar
05:58:46  (with strawberries)
05:58:48  (but also without)
05:58:53  In.. pre-k? Kindergarten? We had a bunch of foods with some themes and one of them was "sand and shells"
05:58:53  (the point is, balsamic vinegar)
05:58:58  @quote q
05:58:58  edwardk says:  is there a haskell client for the quantum random bit generator service?  i was joking that i tend to flip coins as to which project i work on that way at least in
05:58:58  some universe there is probably a me working on the more interesting one, but it strikes me that it would be nicer to actually have that coin flip hinge on a simpler quantum event
05:59:04  Later on, I had my mom make some for me, and I liked it
05:59:14  is that thing still up?
05:59:17  So, that's kind of how pasta+parmesan cheese became a staple food for me
05:59:35  http://www.fourmilab.ch/hotbits/ apparently
06:00:20  i wonder how many angry emails about what "random" _really_ means they get.
06:03:48  I prefer pasta with both tomato sauce and parmesan cheese.
06:13:30  I finish more of my pasta when I put ketchup on it
06:13:40  Don't know if that really means I prefer ketchup+pasta or not
06:14:17  I don't know.
06:17:27  hey kmc should i go to sleep
06:17:55  kmc says: no elliott dont do it
06:18:02  thats not kmc
06:18:14  kmc says: im kmc
06:18:59  no
06:20:38  Sleep is as optional as food.
06:20:51  (For some reason, you saying "Food is not optional" is stuck in my mind)
06:21:07  flip a coin

06:21:24  1d2 => 2
06:21:31  elliott: which one was 2 again
06:21:40  now we have to flip a coin for which one 2 meant

06:26:35  I have played Dungeons&Dragons game today. I am recording it at this time.
06:28:04  thanks
06:30:04  Are you weird in general?
06:39:02  thanks
06:39:23  Thanks for what?
06:40:15  that's the question
06:43:46  Some audio chips interleave the channel output instead of mixed. There are also some with nonlinear mixing. Such thing may be use in musics made with Csound and so on for special effects?
07:04:04  Another special effect I may want to use is posterize, and perhaps, solarize. These thing could be done probably with UDO or with plugins.
07:05:13  Could be any musics with Proce esolang?
07:24:03  I'm wearing the same shirt ANdy is. I feel 300 times more awesome now.

08:36:40  it's not a puzzle it's just a stupid thing shachaf asks people to do and we ignore him

08:37:06  i dont really feel like lenses right now. i feel like Lens
08:37:28  shachaf, does it have to be in Haskell?
08:37:31  :innocentface:
08:37:47  Sgeo: If you can manage to solve it not in Haskell, I'll be surprised.
08:37:51  It has to do with types and things.
08:39:15  but clojure is the perfect language of the month now
08:39:16  or was it tcl

10:59:42  i loved that turtle
10:59:45  now, the question is can be publish a math paper that's actually a fuck your mathbrain -fuck program that prints counterexamples to all the theorems.

11:00:59  im interested in doing proper math in fuckbrainmath
11:01:12  muchfrainbath
11:01:21  *muckfrainbath
11:01:27  oklofok: answer to that question: no. since your theorems have counterexamples, peer review would be sure to find the errors in your proofs
11:01:30  oklofok: (hahahahahaha)
11:01:42  getting good at this joke thing
11:02:04  yeah that's a good one :d
11:02:09  elliott, oh is that because of goedels incompleteness theorems
11:02:44  i read geodel esher bahc, it was very inspiring
11:02:46  no it's because of the corollary that humans are superturing because they can do metamath so they can check every proof.
11:03:09  superturing hahaha
11:03:18  like superman for math
11:03:28  superturing to the rescue

11:05:30  "second favorite theorem"
11:05:52  omg is your favourite gedoels incompleteness theorem??
11:05:56  because mine is!
11:06:13  my favorite theorem is perhaps that a countable 2d sft contains a strictly singly periodic point
11:06:16  Phantom_Hoover: no
11:06:19  my favorite theorem is that
11:06:53  there is no computable set of axioms in first-order logic that uniquely defines the natural numbers
11:06:59  "pretty cool huh"
11:07:04  oh
11:07:08  (and it's not even my theorem)
11:07:15  can you prove that in muckbraiath
11:07:18  (it's awesome)
11:07:25  my favorite theorem is the one where There is no set whose cardinality is strictly between that of the integers and that of the real numbers.
11:08:17  ah, the continuum theorem.
11:08:17  monqy: thats not a theorem monqy!!!
11:08:29  that's a hypothesis
11:08:31  like evolution
11:08:58  you cant prove it, goedel proved that
11:09:07  sure you can
11:09:15  if you have the right axioms
11:09:15  There are theories, theorems and hypotheses; are there also hypothems? 
11:09:50  shachaf, but you cant prove they're the right axioms

19:24:50  Hey, I missed the lesson, can anyone tell me the background to the k e^(i * theta) way of expressing a complex number?
19:25:48  probably something about euler
19:26:58  so you know about polar coordinates for the plane, right?
19:27:15  So I wrote a C program that quits with a Bus Error when given the input of -1
19:27:41  and complex numbers x + yi can be thought of as a point in the plane
19:28:34  if you convert that (x,y) to (r,θ) you can represent the number as r(cos(θ) + i sin(θ))
19:28:59  and it so happens that cos(θ) + i sin(θ) = e^(i θ)
19:29:21  which you can demonstrate by working out the respective power series, i think
19:29:36  kmc, you've skipped over the one part I didn't know
19:30:05  which is?
19:30:22  "what are complex numbers"
19:30:26  How to get from cos theta + i sin theta to e ^ (i theta)
19:31:06  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_formula
19:31:21  Thanks, FireFly 
19:31:49  yes you can prove it using power series
19:32:21  you write the power series for e^(iθ) and then shuffle the terms around and pull out a power series for cos(θ) plus one for i sin(θ)
19:32:24  i did mention that ;)
19:33:38  I recall I found it informative to plot z and sqrt(z), in the complex plane for some z on the edge of the unit circle
19:33:45  or z and z² for that matter
19:33:58  i like this "using calculus" proof as well
19:34:41  "using calculus", is that where you just use euler's formula?
19:34:46  heh
19:34:57  no that we call proof by induction
19:36:08  oh, "Neither of these mathematicians saw the geometrical interpretation of the formula: the view of complex numbers as points in the complex plane arose only some 50 years later (see Caspar Wessel)."
19:40:52  Thinking about it, I think I can get it from Maclaurin series
19:42:08  Although is that overkill?
19:43:12  I think that's one of the standard ways to do it
19:43:35  or the taylor series, don't remember what the difference between those are
19:43:45  Maclaurin is Taylor at 0
19:44:46  Taylor at a is f(a) + f'(a)*(x-a)/1! + f''(a)*(x-a)^2/2! ...
19:44:54  Letting a = 0 makes it simpler

19:58:29  atriq: arent there taylor/maclaurin series that dont converge to their associated function as n->infty
19:58:47  quintopia, yes, but not for e, sin, and cos?
19:59:00  e sin and cos are holomorphic, so yeah they converge.
20:00:34  what sort of function wouldn't converge?
20:00:53  oh, something that isn't differentiable everywhere?
20:01:04  ln (1 + x) for x > 1
20:01:24  "A function that is equal to its Taylor series in an open interval (or a disc in the complex plane) is known as an analytic function."
20:01:27  well, you can also have functions that are differentiable everywhere that aren't holomorphic.
20:01:32  http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/7/3/4/734173a08dcfe45fcff058190d4ec0a1.png Wikipedia has an example.
20:01:47  er, it's infinitely differentiable at 0, anyhow.
20:02:23  wait, so why doesn't that one work?
20:02:37  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-analytic_smooth_function oh, here we go.
20:02:53  because the maclaurin series of it is 0
20:03:35  ohhhh.  it's because at zero the taylor series converges to zero...
20:03:42  that's tricky
20:03:54  yeah, they're usually kind of pathological.

21:14:09  Well, I've missed the merchants
21:14:10  Nevermind
21:18:24  i think pathological may be slightly too strong a word
21:19:37  pathologically logical paths
21:25:21  oklopol, context?
21:26:19  my saying smooth but non-analytic functions are "kind of pathological"
21:29:34  isn't an analytic function from R completely determined by its values on any open set?
21:30:50  I thought that only worked in C.
21:31:04  isn't R a subset of C, or...?
21:31:47  well if it's given by a converging series, it seems that you can determine the coefficients by taking derivatives at 0.
21:33:13  there's the issue of functions like the one Bike mentioned though, right?  which are analytic but not homomorphic
21:33:23  homomorphic?
21:33:25  idgi
21:33:29  to what
21:33:40  she means holomorphic.
21:33:49  oh holo
21:33:54  i think i've heard of that
21:34:05  it's a synonym for "analytic", usually.
21:34:25  i don't get how being holomorphic has anything to do with this
21:34:27  erm, yeah
21:34:36  homomorphic was the condition for whether a taylor series works I think Bike  said?
21:34:49  which I think is the same thing as "you can figure it all out from derivatives at one place"
21:35:08  anyhow the reason i think pathological is a bit of a strong word is that if an open set determines an analytic function, pretty much every smooth function you come up with will be non-analytic.
21:35:09  well, complex analytic functions are holomorphic, but real analytic functions aren't necessarily, I think.
21:35:35  unless you just directly take some function with a name. they usually have a name because they have nice series representations.
21:35:49  oklopol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathological_function#Pathological_functions poincaré is more what I mean
21:36:15  that is somewhat pathological
21:36:18  so, yeah, that.  most functions are non-analytic and smooth probably, but they're still subjectively weird
21:36:20  oh god that function
21:36:24  the example of an analytic non-smooth function was not.
21:36:47  well i guess that may be a bit subjective
21:36:57  i was thinking of exactly the weierstrass function for comparison btw
21:36:59  :P
21:37:04  go figure
21:37:57  also saying "most" here is a bit dangerous since often "a measure one subset of" B will be non-A where A is a subset of B, but actually it's very hard to find an element in B \ A.
21:38:14  i suppose I could come up with a more rigorous "pathological" based on only allowing compositions of standard functions or something, but that'd be pretty pointless and I'm not good enough at real analysis to know what I'm saying anyway
21:38:38  and I haven't done analysis stuff like this in... gosh too many years <_>
21:38:59  i took a few analysis courses like 4 years ago
21:40:00  "so we have these couple of functions that interested ancient mathematicians and are useful in all sortsa fields but we already know everything about them so you students can just fuck yourselves and listen."

02:34:10  "Luftwaffe fighters found it extremely hard to shoot down the Kukuruznik because of three main factors: the rudimentary aircraft could take an enormous amount of damage and stay in the air, the pilots used the defensive tactic of flying at treetop level, and the stall speed of both the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 was similar to the Soviet aircraft's maximum cruise speed, making it difficult for the newer aircraft to
02:35:21  it was too slow, nice
02:39:43  didn't they have shields
02:43:16  basically the russians used extremely shitty aircraft to harass the german ground divisions at night, ensuring that they never got any sleep and were constantly on edge
02:43:35  which worked so well that the germans copied the idea
02:44:23  oh and the communists used it in the korean war too
02:44:41  the allied fighters were unable to get a radar lock because the plane is made mostly of fabric and wood

02:45:57  kmc: /script load splitlong.pl
02:48:51  so this week's xkcd's what-if says the amount of thrust created by a rocket/machine gun is exactly mass * speed of the thing you're firing
02:49:06  kmc: mkdir -pv ~/.irssi/scripts && ln -s . ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun && ln -s /usr/share/irssi/scripts/splitlong.pl ~/.irssi/scripts/
02:49:39  I remember in prepschool our physics teacher told us for a rocket the "loss in weight" created by burning up the fuel also added to the thrust
02:49:39  butts
02:50:31  she was never able to explain that properly so I have no idea what that means (basically she was saying "if you're holding a heavy bag and you drop it, you'll start to fly")
02:50:42  but apparently Randall did not mention that
02:51:06  I think it's because if you lose mass, it's easier to accelerate?
02:51:16  so as you spend your fuel, the same amount of thrust pushes you farther
02:51:27  kmc: help
02:51:37  hmmm
02:51:38  We're trying to solve a practical problem with lenses
02:51:49  And now edwardk is going on about Kan extensions and things.
02:52:07  yes but in that case, you don't actually *get* any thrust by *having to* carry the fuel in order to burn it
02:52:56  I mean, she was saying "losing mass" was actually producing something (that you wouldn't have if your mass was already low)
02:53:27  I'm guessing she probably just wasn't being clear or you misinterpreted?
02:53:33  but I guess I'll satisfy myself with your explanation, as it is far better than any explanation she could come up with
02:53:48  I know there's a similar thing with how spaceships do gravitational assists around planets
02:54:14  where you burn the engine really at the closest point of your orbit
02:54:37  and your gain in velocity comes from the fact that you basically deposited mass inside the gravitational potential well (negative energy)

05:18:56  "So if a spacecraft is on a parabolic flyby of Jupiter with a periapsis velocity of 50 km/s, and it performs a 5 km/s burn, it turns out that the final velocity change at great distance is 22.9 km/s; giving a multiplication of the burn by 4.6 times."
05:19:13  I wonder what kind of modification you could get with a really heavy object.   like a neutron star
05:19:17  er, multiplication
05:27:57 -!- epicmonkey has joined.
05:31:06  just now i confused myself greatly about potential energy
05:31:26  because if my potential energy is proportional to my distance from heavy things
05:31:37  shouldn't it be really huge because i am so far away from all these black holes and neutron stars and shit
05:31:50  but i think i understand now
05:32:19  that the best way to measure potential energy for space travel is to say that being infinitely far from everything in the universe is zero potential energy
05:32:25  and then it goes negative if you are near a heavy thing
05:32:27  isn't that just on a short distance, and an approximation to the gravitational equation
05:32:29  and that matches what you said above
05:33:11  ah yeah it's not linear either
05:33:16  well usually with potential energy you define it relative to the ground, which is arbitrary/whatever makes sense for what you're doing
05:33:16  that's true
05:33:26  I think the usual mgh is an approximation that works if you're close enough
05:33:33  haven't done physics in years though so don't quote me :)
05:33:47  yeah it is
05:34:15  i guess you can also compute it from escape velocity
05:34:44  no wait duh, it's roughly proportional to distance but it's inverse-square at some point.
05:34:46  the amount of kinetic energy you need in order to escape
05:34:57  i.e. to have your position not converge as t → ∞
05:37:01  apparently the energy from a small nuclear bomb is enough to propel me to escape the milky way galaxy
05:37:15  if converted perfectly to kinetic energy
05:37:22  good luck with that
05:37:27  it's ok

16:02:01  this is pretty much semantically required
16:02:12  elliott: THEN WHY DOES SPJ FIND IT SO SURPRISING
16:02:19  since eta-retraction is invalid in Haskell
16:02:23  (eta-deexpansion??)
16:02:28  Reduction?
16:02:35  elliott: Doesn't stop GHC from doing it.
16:02:50  -fpedantic-bottoms, man
16:02:59  yes GHC has invalid optimisations and this is bad
16:03:00 -!- copumpkin has quit (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.).
16:03:18  probably GHC should compile this example efficiently because it does such optimisations
16:03:37  Oddly enough, GHC's invalid optimizations tend to eta-expand, not eta-contract
16:03:50  Well, the only time I've ever bothered to catch them
16:04:24  08:01  i think its because ghc won't inline a function unless it has been given all of its arguments
16:04:27  08:01  so they tend to eta expand like mad in hope they'll give it all its args
16:05:24  if only we had edwardk's perfect proprietary Haskell compiler

16:06:43  elliott: Anyway if you've ever used DeriveFoo, I hope you're glad that your code is slow. :-(
16:07:05  shachaf: did I ever tell you about my shell / python coroutine idea?
16:07:50  IMO kmc should write a Haskell compiler that doesn't suck
16:07:59  kmc: Nope.
16:08:10  i started writing a haskell compiler but "doesn't suck" was not one of the design goals
16:08:10  elliott: imo "its called thc havnet u heard"
16:08:26  what were the design goals
16:08:36  shachaf: so python would suck as an interactive command shell, but it's superior to bash for certain data munging tasks
16:09:00  so i want each interactive bash to have an associated python interpreter in the background
16:09:04  so that i can do like
16:09:08  $ cmd1 | cmd2 | py -i foo
16:09:09  $ py
16:09:35  >>> bar = ' - '.join(x.strip().split(':')[3] for x in foo)
16:09:39  >>> ^D
16:09:44  $ py -o bar | cmd3 | ...
16:10:10  i think this is not too hard to implement so, has it been done, and is it crazy?
16:10:17  Is there really such an advantage over just running a command?
16:10:24  Well, other than "Python doesn't support one-liners"
16:10:39  I wonder when people will realize that using bash as a standard language has been a terrible mistake
16:10:53  shachaf: yeah there's that
16:11:01  although the same property makes interactive python kind of limited as well
16:11:16  if you are goin gto do that might as well use a nicer interface than bash for the shell part too :P
16:11:31  maybe it's almost as good to do python -c'  ... python script
16:11:31  elliott: "like what"
16:11:32  also have you seen ipython
16:11:34  yes
16:11:34  iirc it does similar things to this
16:11:38  i use ipython all the time
16:11:41  as in i think ls | cat ... works in ipython
16:11:48  ignore the fact that that pipeline makes no sense
16:11:50  well
16:11:54  "imo this is reason enough to switch to ruby"
16:11:54  ls | cat - /dev/random | ... makes sense
16:11:57  except for being dumb
16:12:10  i don't think it implements full shell syntax though
16:12:18  Maybe Tcl is the future.
16:12:22  that would be kind of crazy
16:12:31   if you are goin gto do that might as well use a nicer interface than bash for the shell part too
16:12:35  no see
16:12:38  this is that #haskell fallacy that i hate
16:12:53  "if you're going to fix a bug in any program you might as well rewrite that program in haskell and also your operating system"
16:13:31  if you're going to try to convert me to zsh or whatever then fine
16:13:31  well my point is that this is a relatively huge engineering effort, so basing it on bash would be a shame when there are things like fish (fish isn't perfect but I think fixing the flaws would probably be less effort in total esp. since I bet bash's codebase is awful)
16:13:50  no i don't think this would require extensive changes to bash
16:13:52  well zsh is like bash but with marginally nicer interactive features :P
16:14:02  oh you are doing "py -o bar"
16:14:06  rather than just "bar | ..."
16:14:19  in fact i would hope to make it not depend on the shell you use
16:14:19  or only minimally
16:14:19  right
16:14:24  What about python 'blah' < named pipe
16:14:30  cat named pipe > blah
16:14:31  hi
16:14:42  i would have a bashrc line that starts up the python process and puts in an env var a path to some socket or something where it can be talked to
16:14:46  i am not sure that the py -i / py -o model is bset here
16:14:59  it seems better if you instead have somethin glike py -a 
16:14:59  and then 'py' would use that
16:15:01  which runs function with the input
16:15:06  yeah i was thinking about that too
16:15:08  so you would do cmd1 | cmd2 | py -a foo | cmd3 | ... instead
16:15:16  Doesn't python have -e?
16:15:20  by defining bar = lambda foo: ' - '.join(x.strip().split(':')[3] for x in foo)
16:15:21  but there are def. cases where you want something more complicated than that
16:15:23  shachaf: it has -c
16:15:24  perl has -e. Also oneliners.
16:15:27  but one-line python is painful a lot
16:15:29  ruby has -e
16:15:32  yes i think perl is better for this
16:15:39  with perl i think it's not really needed
16:15:40  usually
16:15:47  "this is why i use ruby more than python"
16:16:02  kmc: Clearly the answer is to use node.js with asynchronous callback functions instead of coroutines.

19:22:26  it's an onion piece 
19:23:13  15TB is faintly plausible for high quality motion JPEG though.

19:31:18  “India Today is a part of Facebook!”
19:31:23  olsner: Individually captioning those 12 million pictures in 8 months does mean you couldn't spend more than about 1.7 seconds per caption, assuming you spent 24 hours per day captioning. (Or 1.15 seconds, assuming a more reasonable 16 hours/day schedule.)
19:32:23  sgeo: The war one :-D
19:32:40  oh, they were individually captioned? that's literally unbelievable!
19:33:25  well the captions were like "cute!!!" according to the article
19:33:29  gotta use all the information here
19:37:27  elliott: btw ls | cat can make sense
19:37:48  it disables colors and gives you one file per line
19:37:54  which is useful for copy-pasting
19:37:59  ls -1
19:38:02  of course there's some ls flag for that
19:38:19  yeah
19:38:24  i could remember that, or i could use the tools i already know
19:38:58  of course forcing a command's output to be not a tty is useful for things other than ls
19:39:02  ls | xclip -i  is even more useful for copy-pasting
19:47:47  cat | something | cat  # double action
19:49:21  all the way
19:49:43  i also write "cat foo | bar" rather than "bar < foo" to preserve the left to right flow of data
19:49:55  of course i've been told this is proof that my unix penis is very small
19:50:10  think of all the resources wasted by that extra cat process

Also the Siyah kernel (which is rather nice, offers dual booting for example) lacks it. Had some issues building a modified version of that kernel though
20:16:01  seems to be working now, but now to try with ftrace enabled as well
20:16:33  first issue was getting the initramfs building correctly
20:17:07  you would think that the automated build script would actually work. Given the errors in it I'm surprised it worked for anybody
20:17:28  Hey, now that there's perhaps a different subset of people awake... why doesn't "dropbox puburl" work for me? Is it supposed to work at all? (I mean, it "works" in the sense that it prints URLs for ~/Dropbox/Public/ stuff, but those URLs just give a 404 when accessed.)

20:21:27  it is excellent for *encrypted* backups
20:22:06  I suppose it runs some Python; I do get Python stuff for ^C if I try to run that binary manually.
20:22:21  elliott, why are you surprised I use dropbox? The backup program I use on my phone has built in support for syncing with it, so it is convenient.
20:22:43  fizzie, where is the dropbox in your path from then?
20:23:17  i'd expect some rant about relying on an external corporation for your data and closed source and how using scp to your own server is just as easy. :p
20:23:20  Vorpal: I went the package manager way.
20:23:57  speaking of which I need to upgrade this laptop from 10.04 at some point, kind of soon
20:24:04  iirc support ends at the end of the year
20:24:30  :t traverseWith
20:24:30  I only have dropbox because of that Space Race thing, but I was thinking I could use it for stupid-images-to-share-on-IRC use; it's just that the puburl just isn't working. Doing a "share link" thing (via the webface) did work, but it makes a different sort of thing.
20:24:31      Not in scope: `traverseWith'
20:24:31      Perhaps you meant one of these:
20:24:31        `traverseBits' (imported from Data.Bits.Lens),
20:24:38  elliott, nah, I wouldn't put unencrypted backups there though. Unless I wanted to make them public
20:24:39  er, what's it called.
20:24:56  :t (1,2) % fromWithin traverse
20:24:58      Couldn't match expected type `(t0, t1)' with actual type `a0 :> b0'
20:24:58      Expected type: (t0, t1) -> b1
20:24:58        Actual type: (a0 :> b0) -> (a0 :> b0) :> c0
20:24:59  also I really need more RAM in this laptop, building a kernel makes the input lag unless I close firefox
20:25:04  Vorpal: maybe you have changed :p
20:25:05  :t (1,2) % fromWithin both
20:25:07      Couldn't match expected type `(t0, t1)' with actual type `a0 :> b0'
20:25:07      Expected type: (t0, t1) -> b1

20:25:22  I tried a lazy google for dropbox puburl 404 but didn't see too many complaints.
20:25:33  oerjan: have you learned about lens yet
20:25:35  oerjan: it is super fancy!
20:25:45  "Please note: New Dropbox accounts created after October 4, 2012 no longer have a Public folder. Don't worry! Every account created prior to this date will still have a Public folder. If you would like to enable a Public folder on a new account, see the instructions below (Creating a Public folder).
20:25:48  not any concrete implementation, no
20:25:51  However, all the extra functionality provided by the Public folder is now accessible anywhere in your Dropbox. Now all you need to do to share and preview files and folders in your Dropbox is select Share link via your computers, phones, and tablets."
20:25:55  Oh, okay.
20:25:56  oerjan: no i mean the "lens" package
20:25:58  elliott, I doubt I would use google drive btw, I try to not put everything in the hands of one company
20:25:59  which is what i am using here
20:26:02  I suppose my ~/Dropbox/Public isn't actually a real public folder.
20:26:05  google already knows way too much
20:26:08  fizzie: welp, glad I got in before that
20:26:24  Bike: It can still be enabled, there's instructions.
20:26:26  i've heard about that van lairwoofer thing
20:26:26  oerjan: it has lenses (incl. ones which can change the type i.e. polymorphic fields) and traversals (hence partial lenses) and effectful versions of all of this and indexed stuff and generic zippers and
20:26:35  yeah it is based on those
20:26:38  it is edwardk's new megapackage
20:26:43  "Dropbox links give you everything you need to share and preview files and folders. However, if you’re just a diehard fan of Public Folders, click here to enable one on your account."
20:26:43  it even has documentation
20:26:47  fizzie: yeah but that sounds pretty hard for something I indeed mostly use for stupid pictures for irc
20:26:56  It's hard to click on a link? 
20:27:00  Yes.
20:27:05  has some nice examples like (zipper ("hello","world") % down _1 % fromWithin traverse % focus .~ 'J' % rightmost % focus .~ 'y' % rezip)
20:27:05   However, all the extra functionality provided by the Public folder is now accessible anywhere in your Dropbox. Now all you need to do to share and preview files and folders in your Dropbox is select Share link via your computers, phones, and tablets." <-- wait, can you see which folders are public and so on then?
20:27:16  or do stuff just automatically become public?
20:27:31  I'm not sure I'm a diehard fan of public folders, but I am a fan of getting links from the command-line client as opposed to navigating the webs.
20:27:45  (I don't think the command-line thing can create "shared links".)
20:28:00  You need to "Share link" specific files for them to be public.
20:28:01  ah
20:28:08  But those files don't need to be in any specific folders.
20:28:13  fizzie, can you revoke the publicness of them?
20:28:24  also can you make an entire folder, with a directory listing, public?
20:28:28  I suppose you can delete the links.
20:28:33  They appear separately in the webface.
20:28:47  And there was something about sharing an entire folder that I hit on the last Google.
20:29:01  Though it might've been just a note that it's not possible, plus third-party things to make it happen.
20:29:26  Okay, I clicked on the "enable public folder" link, and got "Error: Something went wrong. Don't worry, your files are still safe and the Dropboxers have been notified. Check out our Help Center and forums for help, or head back to home."
20:29:36  Perhaps just because I wasn't signed in.
20:29:42  so hm, the ftrace option breaks the kernel, oh well
20:30:19  wow, /proc/last_kmsg is binary garbage
20:30:23  that is a bit extreme
20:30:26  "Your Public folder is now enabled. Your existing Public folder was renamed to "Public (old)"."
20:30:30  Yaay.
20:30:53   it is edwardk's new megapackage <-- did you see his recent reddit comment about how he found haskell?  with him 2006 seems so short ago...
20:31:10  2006...
20:31:19  That was about the same time I found the joys of the internet
20:31:39  oerjan: iirc yes, I think I knew that date already
20:31:44  oerjan: I think Hackage is actually post-2006 though!
20:31:46  atriq, what, really?
20:31:56  Vorpal, I knew it existed beforehand
20:32:06  Yay, now the puburl works. (Except that of course the .jpg isn't EXIF-autorotated, unlike it was when I "Share link"ed it. (It has a previewy kind of a thing.))
20:32:10  But that would have been when I joined the UMMF
20:32:15  oerjan: I think Hackage is ~2007
20:32:16  I got linked IWC from there
20:32:22  oh, looks like late 2006 maybe
20:32:24  And thence to everywhere else
20:32:32  IIRC edwardk has said Hackage came around right as he was about to give up on Haskell
20:32:35  atriq, UMMF?
20:32:45  Unofficial Murderous Maths Forum
20:32:49  Now deserted
20:32:56  atriq, so you used internet before 2006?
20:33:16  Yeah
20:33:32  Take in mind, I was 11, 12?
20:33:33  did you used it back in 96 though?
20:33:41  ...probably not
20:33:56  The earliest I remember using a computer would have been 98, I think
20:34:11  I remember the 28 kbit modem my dad got in either late 95 or early 96
20:34:19  I don't think our university is going to be getting that 25 GB. :/ :/ :\ (Unless the Space Race is going to continue for a long long time.)
20:34:47   Yay, now the puburl works. (Except that of course the .jpg isn't EXIF-autorotated, unlike it was when I "Share link"ed it. (It has a previewy kind of a thing.)) <-- that is because your browser fails
20:35:20  fizzie, what 25 GB?
20:35:33  25 GB/s connection?
20:35:40  that would be pretty cool
20:35:41  Vorpal: 25 GB of dropbox space.
20:35:45  oh
20:35:56  https://www.dropbox.com/spacerace -- that thing.
20:36:03  It's a kind of a University-specific thing.
20:36:08  oooh
20:36:12  At least we're at the top of the Finland Leaderboard.
20:36:25  And we were on the global top 10 for like several hours! 
20:36:33  fizzie, what is the cost for 50 GB btw, as a private customer? It doesn't show it to me for some reason, just the 100 GB level
20:36:56  Now it's all MIT and National University of Singapore and so on, they have a slight advantage in the number of students.
20:37:00  maybe it is because I already get 50 GB from that promo that came with my phone
20:37:07  or did they remove the 50 GB level?
20:37:26  I'm trying to figure out where you can see those anyway.
20:37:40  Ah, there.
20:37:48  Doesn't show anything else than 100/200/500 for me either.
20:37:52  huh
20:37:56  oh well
20:38:03  Open University is at #10 in the UK. That's a bit silly.
20:39:19  It's a bit disingenuous that the "Get free space!" link leads to a page where you can pay for space.
20:39:28  Though I suppose it's still more "free space" as in empty.
20:39:40  heh
20:40:08  oerjan: surely types like "type IndexedTraversal i s t a b = forall f k. (Indexed i k, Applicative f) => k (a -> f b) (s -> f t)" must tempt you
20:40:16  I could get a total of 3*125M for "connecting" Facebook and Twitter accounts and following Dropbox on Twitter.
20:40:20  Doesn't quite seem worth it.
20:40:33   why does everyone leave the second we welcome them <-- with all the people who have left that way you'd think there should be enough for a big other kind of esoteric channel somewhere...
20:41:00  (last i asked the dalnet one was tiny)
20:41:39  elliott: tempt me to run away screaming, you mean?
20:45:07  did you all see http://blog.burtonthird.com/?p=81
20:45:13  oerjan: but it's cool!! You can compose lenses with just function (.)
20:45:21  i don't think this is really interesting enough to merit such a detailed writeup, but it's kinda amusing
20:45:29  yeah i heard that
20:45:37  oerjan: and do things like both f (a,b) = (,) <$> f a <*> f b
20:45:48  > ("abc", "def") % both .~ "q"
20:45:50    ("q","q")

20:47:03  :t (%)

20:47:06  what could possibly go wrong
20:47:15  Vorpal: Speaking of 25 Gbps network connections, I did hear a rumour that there was some kind of a project to start expanding the 10Gbps backbone further inside the computer science building. The 1Gbps switches are sometimes a bit overloaded when e.g. someone starts a 150-task Condor job and all those tasks attempt to fetch the same file over NFS.
20:47:37  > ("abc", "def") % both %~ reverse

20:47:39  ...i guess you don't really need that Data.Ratio operator
20:47:49  oerjan: it's being renamed to (&) because of complaints about the overlap

20:47:59  Man, these sysadm group meeting minutes are always so depressing. "Triton's MATLAB is broken. Triton's disk system needs more memory."
20:48:01  (but (/) is a thing so I don't really like Data.Ratio's (%) anyway)
20:48:10  & isn't already used?
20:48:16  nope

20:48:30  that's not helpful.
20:48:36  But that overlaps with Data.Sequence
20:48:50  fizzie, "Condor job"?
20:49:02  fizzie, also couldn't you use multicast to deal with that
20:49:19  nfs probably doesn't do multicast
20:49:44  Vorpal: Condor is this "use idle time of regular workstations as a computation grid" queue/etc. system.

21:15:11  oh, are people still in #haskell?
21:15:23  well his "problem" is that his GHC is broken
21:15:29  Hmm
21:15:32  That is a big problem

21:52:58  never mind, misread that
21:54:07  kmc, well okay, whatever the terminology it is a scam
21:56:09  i'm sure elliott would be more than capable of arguing that ghc is broken, but would find it boring.  am i close?
21:57:25  depends what you mean by broken
21:57:29  it has optimisations that break Haskell semantics
21:58:28  oh, that seems a bit silly
21:58:39  International Bakery http://www.itslenny.com/recording.php?file=de45d6e156191bbe92c872cab04c8824
21:58:48  elliott, anything you would run into normally?
21:59:03  has anyone ever been bitten in practice by build/foldr fusion theoretically not being compatible with seq?
21:59:16  oerjan: that wasn't the example I was thinking of
21:59:20  Vorpal: well, lens ran into it :)
21:59:26  elliott, oh?
21:59:28  admittedly, in an edge-case example
21:59:33  ah
21:59:34  basically the problem is that GHC does invalid eta-expansions
21:59:45  like its optimiser can equate f and (\x -> f x)
21:59:49  but these are not the same in the presence of _|_
21:59:54  (well, parametricity not being entirely compatible)
22:00:01  because _|_ = _|_ but (\x -> _|_ x) =/= _|_
22:00:10  I was just about to say that seemed sensible, but right, it is not in that case
22:00:37  why does ghc do that? Does it offer such a great speed advantage?
22:01:32  spj doesn't know of a way to get decent optimisation without it
22:01:33  so presumably
22:01:39  it is about inlining and stuff I think
22:01:41  ah
22:02:51  I can't personally think of a non-contrived way of running into that issue though... but I guess at least one of them exists.
22:10:15  night →
22:13:04  perhaps forcing something of function type should be a n-oop
22:13:07  no-op
22:13:12  that would probably break other shit though

22:23:03  Wrong Number http://www.itslenny.com/recording.php?file=7c89a6e66edca1256a35c7cb3bc6f794
22:23:04  it means the code to evaluate an expression needs to _know_ whether it is a function type, which i don't think is currently the case
22:23:58  probably not in all cases
22:24:03  PAP objects are known to have function type
22:25:08  so is a FUN_*
22:25:13  ...and those are considered already whnf, are they not?
22:25:35  probably
22:27:20  i vaguely suspect that keeping track of that information will be equivalent to reinstating the old Seq type class
22:27:45  kmc: the solution is the one older Haskell versions had
22:27:56  which was dropped for bad reasons
22:27:58  (just like fail not being in Monad)
22:28:56  oh is to put seq in a class
22:29:04  yeah
22:29:06  moreover however, you might very well _want_ to pre-compute a long evaluating resulting in a function.
22:29:44  that's true too
22:29:53  *evaluation
22:29:55  Haskell is a tale of musts over wants though :P
22:30:06  "it would be convenient to put side-effects here..."
22:30:18  oerjan: anyway it is safe to provide a *variant* of seq on functions, I think
22:30:41  i assume the old Seq class worked for functions too.

22:35:10  anyway the solution is to not have an impure language
22:35:49  remember the heap of haskell data types these days that are newtype wrappers over functions, it would be a total mess if seq couldn't be applied to any of them
22:36:25  well not really
22:36:37  that's what causes the much-promoted "violation" of monad laws for Reader/IO/etc.
22:36:46  standing by my real solution though

04:42:22  You have to grep for realloc too
04:42:24  And strdup
04:42:26  And all sorts of things.
04:42:40  also that it's "barely a security hole at all" if a server you log into can attack the machine you logged in from
04:42:58  shachaf: but not alloca because it's automatic, am i right?
04:43:35  kmc: Was this person talking about C or C++?
04:43:47  C++ but they actually included new and delete too
04:44:07  i mean these days nobody has any business logging into any shared server
04:44:15  you should spin up a new VM in the cloud for every program you ever want to run
04:44:53  i mean the idea that an operating system should provide some kind of security or fault isolation or any usable service at all is just laughable
04:45:23  Everyone knows that's the job of the hypervisor.
04:45:27  right
04:45:37  see the OS is insecure because it's a bunch of hairy C code

05:48:25  a latex package which does something useful but also exfiltrates your SSH private key through slight adjustments in the positions of letters

05:49:06  Could probably be well-commented as doing that, in fact.
05:49:11  heh
05:49:32  kmc: Did you know Firefox will let a .html file read files in the current directory?
05:49:34  well i think it would be more fun to bury it inside the kind of incomprehensible gibberish one expects to see in a latex package
05:49:38  shachaf: woah, how's that?
05:49:52  I.e. if you $ cd; wget evil.html; firefox evil.html, it can see your SSH key.
05:49:56  I have a proof of concept somewhere.
05:50:02  that's awful
05:50:20  It just lets your XMLHttpRequest() it!
05:50:25  Apparently they don't consider that a bug.
05:50:28  you can also make it open that tab from a website
05:50:38  Yes, but the file needs to be on your disk.
05:50:38  you can do an xhr to a file:// url?
05:50:40  sure
05:50:48  No, just XHR to a relative path.
05:51:05  but it should be pretty easy social engineering of something people wouldn't generally consider dangerous
05:51:18  in fact
05:51:19  hmm
05:51:27  a lot of people set ~ as the default download directory right?
05:51:53  so you could serve this html file as application/octet-stream, it gets downloaded automatically, and then you navigate to it
05:52:00  so i think this actually requires no user interaction :(
05:52:05  http://slbkbs.org/evil.html
05:52:15  let me just download this to my home directory to inspect it
05:52:15  kmc: Hmm...
05:52:53  Things get downloaded to ~/Downloads by default in most browsers, I think.
05:53:17  But I hadn't considered that aspect.
05:53:45  well first dumb question: can you use ../
05:54:26  No.
05:56:23  ok
05:56:30  but i can at minimum read any file in your downloads directory
05:56:34  just by you clicking a link i construct
05:56:37  If you have autodownload, yes.
05:56:41  But you can't list the directory.
05:56:55  and by knowing the path to your downloads directory, maybe
05:57:09  Can file:/// use ~?
05:57:23  Looks like not.
05:57:56  If you ask the user to upload a file, do you get that file's path on disk?
05:58:07  chrome sends C:\fakepath\something

12:41:09  Or maybe saying "and" would be wrong and "or" would look stupid
12:41:20  Are comonads variant?
12:41:28  No, comonads are also covariant.
12:43:18  When I say "Monads are like boxes", I generally mean they're pointed

16:10:00  Yeah, with automatic coercion of anything into a boolean.
16:11:17  that one is a bit lamely obvious

16:11:23  isn't the only difference a precedence change from C
16:11:27  er
16:11:29  associativity change
16:11:40  elliott: The problem isn’t the associativity change, it’s the lack of a type error.

16:11:51  ion: re message: indeed, that sugar was what I had in mind
16:11:57  but I'd be willing to accept another syntax until -XIdiomBrackets is a thing :P
16:12:09  and you wouldn't get that type error in C anyway
16:12:22  "a" ? "b" : "c" works fine in C, I'm sure
16:12:51  ion, should've done that hex parsing one
16:13:03  where 0x0 +2 equals 4
16:13:59  ("a" ? 1 : "c") is likely to give you a warning, though.
16:14:54  Yeah, C is the shining example of a great type system, no need to compare to anything other.
16:15:38  Random trivia for today: R7RS (draft) Scheme has six (6) different {quotient,remainder} function pairs. That should shut up the people complaining that R5RS's {quotient,remainder,modulo} triplet lacks the version of quotient corresponding to 'modulo'.
16:15:40  well complaining that PHP is no stronger-typed than C, Java (I think? not sure how it behaves here), JavaScript, Ruby, Python, and a trillion other languages seems a weaker argument than associativity... nobody is expecting PHP to be Haskell :P
16:15:50  Java is stricter.
16:16:38  You don't get a default "!= 0" for numbers or "!= null" for reference types; bools need to be actual bools.
16:19:53  (The six types are {ceiling,floor,truncate,round,euclidean,centered}{/,-quotient,-remainder}.)

19:47:38  i know, right?
19:48:23  I suppose it's some kind of a really complicated and redundant arm thing.
19:49:53  maybe an octopus arm
19:50:26  octopuses don't have proprioception of their arms because they have too many degrees of freedom
19:50:38  instead the octopus just kind of gives high level instructions to the arms
19:50:43  and then can use its eyes to see what the arms do
19:51:24  infinite degrees of freedom, according to some random paper

21:03:46   I think this is the first time I've run into a type problem such that the easiest "legitimate" solution to it is to add unsafeCoerce.
21:04:05  elliott: did you ever upload your type-threaded version of Data.Sequence?
21:04:17  that seems relevant
21:05:58  it turned out to already exist but slightly different iir
21:05:58  c
21:06:14  the unsafeCoerce in reflection also comes to mind, but "legitimate" is not a word i would use for that...
21:06:18  ah.
21:06:48  oerjan: hey, you're illegitimate!

21:14:53  iirc
21:15:10  ...i know about thrist.  i don't consider that the same at all.
21:16:49  iirc it was basically identical when i compared things
21:17:34  well the part i considered interesting was how you combined thrist with Data.Sequence by simply using unsafeCoerce instead of redefining Seq
21:17:46  wait, I didn't redefine Seq?
21:17:59  oh hmm I didn't did I
21:18:01  not internally, no
21:18:02  well maybe I can find the code
21:20:22  shachaf: what was your problem?
21:20:41  the reason i don't consider the unsafeCoerce in reflection legitimate is that it's using accidents of similar representation, not just the guaranteed properties of unsafeCoerce

21:27:49  indeed
21:28:00  I was going to argue for deleting it for that reason instead if I couldn't delete it for the first arugment
21:28:06  we can only delete it once though, so which reason got it deleted?
21:28:07  also, 398 is awesome
21:28:16  Agreed
21:28:47  it confuses me on at least two levels
21:29:10  also, the quote in the topic, did it actually happen? because it should probably be addquoted in that case
21:29:13  unless it is already

21:34:15  Yes
21:34:28  also, 661 isn't very funny either
21:34:30  But I wouldn't like to copy 50kB by hand
21:34:30  problem with 179 is it could be in a context where that statement is reasonable
21:34:35  rather than the unreasonable context it was actually in
21:34:45  52 is just bad though

23:19:02  http://www.amazon.com/Franklin-Spanish-English-Dictionary-Bookman/dp/B000034D68 except that's a card, not the device itself. Wouldn't have had that card because the device was natively a Spanish/English dictionary
23:19:20  So that particular card would be unnecessary.
23:19:24   
23:19:25  But if I wanted to do other things
23:19:29  why would you have a spanish/english dictionary?
23:19:34  I have no idea.
23:19:41  me neither!
23:20:03  americans are dimly aware that there is a language other than english, and some of them even know it's called 'spanish'

23:25:25  then again, who knows ... this swedish thing is dying out anyway

00:07:20  *"I certify that CHRIS ____ ____ was born to parents CHRIS ____ ____ and CHRIS ____ ____ here in CHRIS this CHRIS day of CHRIS, CHRIS."

02:13:05 -!- sirdancealot7 has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds).
02:16:42  kmc: feel free to come up with a cooler answer.
02:19:47  the cooler answer would be that you had a MIDI keyboard hooked up to your computer and were using it to type in some clever way
02:20:05  not just "one key per character" but like sweet chords and such
02:20:35  Imagine using emacs with that
02:21:16  obviously you would use pedals for control and meta
02:21:55  I,I pedal to the meta
02:22:22  tswett removed 17 of the alphabet characters from his keyboard.
02:22:24  "I sprained my ankles the other day." "How?"
02:24:06  I am currently two keys short of a full keyboard.
02:24:54  (...If you know what I mean.)

03:11:27  Should be easy enough to implement.
03:12:02 -!- monqy has joined.
03:12:40  First, say that there are 31 characters that you can type by pressing some combination of the notes C through G.
03:12:50  Make them octave-independent, so that you can alternate between hands.
03:14:04  You could make other characters using black keys, right?  Say that D, E, and G can be flatted, giving you three options for those letters instead of two, so that brings you up to... 107 characters.
03:14:29  Which is more than the number of ASCII printable characters, so you should be more or less in business.
03:14:31  what about the other two notes in the octave...?
03:15:05  I dunno.
03:15:18  As and Bs can be modifiers, if you want.

04:04:19  elliott: Solved the unsafeCoerce!
04:04:29  monqy, kmc:
04:04:46  hi
04:07:48  yuck, fmap unsafeCoerce
04:07:50  that's inefficient
04:09:27  "just use unsafeCoerce :: (Functor f) => f a -> f b"
04:09:53  elliott: Huh?
04:09:56  That's not the solution.
04:10:07  The solution is fmap (const undefined)
04:10:15  elliott: "btw this function never actually gets called ever"
04:10:33  is https://github.com/ekmett/lens/commit/529aa2e6992de1c1a91ae58bc77e29381cb1de00 the wrong commit
04:10:35  "should i feel foolish now"
04:10:40  so why does coerce exist
04:10:42  if it is never called
04:10:50  and why is it (<$) undefined rather than just undefined
04:10:55  Yes, that's when I told edwardk "you can use fmap undefined" and he read it as "fmap unsafeCoerce"
04:11:37  instance Gettable g => Gettable (EvilBazaar a b g) where

11:38:03  do you just continually dump irrelevant links
11:40:35  I think it's some sort of a bot.
11:40:47  Is that a problem? I can cease if they’re not wanted. (That trailer was promising, though.)
11:41:44  well it's mainly that you just post them without comment or anything
11:41:44  It seems to have an impressive capability of providing superficially relevant-looking responses.
11:41:54  oh wow
11:42:00  fungot: Listen and learn something, would you? 
11:42:01  fizzie: alternate universe, that's " law and order". and it doesn't have to be shakespeare. i'll do better next time, ok? let me know, right?
11:42:06  fizzie's claws are out
11:42:08  i'm scared
11:42:31  No, no, I was just monkeying around.
11:44:43  ion, also zombies have been done to death by now
11:45:13  I know. That trailer was still promising.
11:45:35  *Everything* has been done to death by now. :-P
11:45:54  It just looked like a lot of shaky camera work and washed-out filters to me
11:46:52  Ignoring the visual style, i found what they were doing with the zombies (not spoiling) interesting.
11:46:58  Hadn’t seen that before.
11:47:03  you mean the gas?
11:48:10  yeah
11:48:26  i'm not sure adding a new infection vector makes zombies interesting again
11:48:40  No, not that.
11:49:11  Gurl jrer hfvat mbzovrf sbe shry.
11:49:50  well that's just silly
11:50:43  Feel free to dislike it, but i’m going to watch that movie. :-P

11:52:00  df bugs are best bugs
11:52:22  It’s not as if the concept of zombies isn’t silly in the first place, it can still be entertaining.
11:52:46  hah
11:53:14  I like the links to graphs.
11:54:20  there are correct ones later on
11:54:36  df's temperature system is probably the most awful piece of coding in it
11:54:51  I like the bit that says "When the unit's fat amount crosses a 2500 boundary, its clothing insulation is recomputed."
11:55:09  it has very little effect on gameplay outside of a couple of situations, yet having it on at all cuts your fps in half

19:54:35 -!- zzo38 has joined.
19:54:58  This week I thought of using RGB<->HSV for audio as well not only for pictures
19:57:23  What would that even mean for audio?
19:58:42  the closest I can think of for audio would be like an FFT...?  but it's really not the same thing
19:58:49  extract the red, green and blue sounds, put back hued, saturated and valuable sounds
19:59:32  something with the colors of noise?
19:59:42  What I thought was something like using R,G,B as the left, front, back channels and then convert to HSV to do modification on that and then back to RGB
20:01:02  There's something *analogous* done in a lot of audio formats, actually.
20:01:50  Backwards-compatible analog stereo is generally done via L+R and L-R signals, and audio compression prefers doing that too.
20:02:00  Yes I know about that.
20:02:12  Is it something like YUV?
20:03:22  L+R is literally L added to R (and similarly for L-R)
20:03:58  Yes, and I think Ambisonic-B is similar but with more directions than just left and right
20:04:01  I... think YUV has more complex coefficients
20:04:20  Y ~= 0.7G + 0.2R + 0.1B?
20:04:23  zzo38: Yeah, Ambisonic-B is more similar.
20:04:46 -!- Vorpal has joined.
20:05:04  Fair approximation.
20:07:55  I have won all 23 games of basketball this season. But I still try to improve, just in case.
20:08:31  Fiora: Once I have made something like YUV for pictures, but treating all channels as equal instead of using coefficients like that
20:08:51  I think you need the coefficients to match human perception...
20:10:45  great
20:11:06  my mayor has sentenced a random bone doctor to 40 days in jail because i forgot to make him some damn shields
20:11:32  little does he realise that i have a cold case for murder that i can pin on anyone i want
20:11:32  Fiora: Strictly speaking it's not *necessary*.
20:11:51  The advantage of the coefficients is that it lets you transmit U and V with less resolution and still look acceptable.
20:11:53  for the best results I mean, but yeah
20:12:00  isn't there also the thing with grayscale?
20:12:10  i.e. "the Y channel looks like a grayscale version of the video"
20:12:13  Ah, right, duh.
20:12:15  like if it was shot with black and white film
20:12:36  I remember YUV was originally created as a backwards-compatibility thing to black and white television if I'm remembering my wikipedia right
20:12:45  Yes, you wouldn't be able to use the Y signal as greyscale.
20:12:49  And, yes, that's what it's for.
20:12:50  enjoy your 201 days in prison you twat
20:12:54  You can also use that with component video input/output in TV sets and other devices which have that.
20:13:01  It just so happens it's *also* good as an easy compression format.
20:13:01  I have tried that and it works.
20:13:08 -!- ais523 has joined.
20:13:17  aha
20:13:36  The other compression scheme used on analog video, interlacing, sucks ass though.
20:24:14  does that even qualify as a compression scheme?
20:24:33  it's more of a hack to increase the perceived framerate without affecting the bandwidth at all
20:27:52  I just noticed an interesting behaviour of flash videos on Windows, if the browser window is not focused the video stutters badly (< 1 FPS). How strange.
20:32:43  it makes a certain amount of sense that programs that aren't focused should get fewer resources
20:32:54  it's not necessarily a good idea but i could see why someone would think it is
20:40:03  hm
20:40:34  kmc, it is not like the computer is heavily loaded either though
20:40:51  could flash itself choose to do that?  maybe to avoid loading the CPU when the tab isn't active
20:41:01  well, that is of course possible
20:41:04  like, to not render images when it's not displayed
20:41:26  possibly since it doesn't happen on youtube in fact
20:43:34  flash would never avoid loading the CPU

22:08:34  monqy: lens 3.6 is getting a new function called "upon"
22:08:38  traverse is in base, AND in lens! And it's exactly the same thing!
22:08:42  is upon good ?
22:08:51  monqy: no it's evil :'(
22:08:57  I heard there's a function called "field" and it's evil
22:08:59  The deeply-nested version will be called uponTheDeep
22:09:06  shachaf: then it's only a matter of time before it gets "smite"
22:09:10 * oerjan sidles away carefully ->
22:09:10  monqy: "field" is now called "upon" :'(
22:09:14  ah
22:09:23  Anyway, a Traversal s t a b is Applicative f => (a -> f b) -> s -> f t
22:09:35  / s t a b atriq
22:09:42  Oh no!
22:09:44 * atriq dies
22:14:46  You can read a Traversal s t a b as something where if you can change an a into a b, you can change an s into a t, and also if you can turn a into a monoid, you can turn s into THE SAME MONOID!
22:15:12  Pretty cool, huh?
22:15:25  why does everything have to be single letters
22:15:41  Because single letters make words
22:15:45  Like "stab"
22:15:54  I guess that is a good answer

02:33:49  so, is BSD the fourth most popular operating system family?
02:34:04  (after the Windowses and the Linuxes and the OS X/iOSes?)
02:34:14  or do old-fashioned commercial Unices still beat it?
02:34:16  or something else?
02:35:24  I'm guessing it'd depend how you count popular, like, do OSs running on embedded systems count, or just PCs, or...
02:35:27  do you mean "most popular OS to run on traditional PC hardware and macs"
02:35:32  right
02:36:24  I'm thinking about desktop/laptop/tablet systems, I guess
02:36:29  seems pretty arbitrary
02:36:31  things that are meant to be interacted with by a human
02:36:37  many embedded systems are
02:36:45  as their primary function
02:36:57  so I guess the Rasperry Pi counts, but similar systems used as industrial controllers don't
02:36:57  how about the dash computer in your car
02:37:05  kmc: I don't own a car
02:37:07  what about a thermostat -- its primary purpose is to take instructions from a human and execute them
02:37:17  and thermostats are still analog where I live
02:37:26  symbian is a phone OS even though it mostly runs on dumbphones I think
02:37:27  how about the 100 or so microcontrollers inside your PC alongside the main CPU
02:37:30  but no, a thermostat's primary function is to control the temperature
02:37:37  it does its job even when you aren't sitting there configuring it
02:37:42  a computer's primary function is to send IP packets
02:37:48  it does its job even when you aren't sitting there configuring it
02:37:50  kmc: not mine, I use it offline quite a lot
02:37:57  ok how about web servers then
02:37:59  my /server's/ primary function is to do that
02:38:11  do you include those as "meant to be interacted with by a human"
02:38:16  A computer's primary function is not to send IP packets. That is a function of some of the programs.
02:38:33  kmc: I guess no
02:39:03  also, does the baseband processor in your phone count, or only the applications processor?
02:39:34  typically they are separate and the former runs some proprietary RTOS
02:39:37 -!- ion has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds).
02:39:48  I also don't own a digital phone
02:39:55  what about the firmware running on your computer's GPU -- surely that is an integral part of "interacting with a human"
02:40:00  ais523: i'm using the word "your" rhetorically
02:40:02  there's a phone in my office, but it's one of those dumb-terminal-style landlines
02:40:16  also GPUs don't normally have much of an operating system
02:40:17  oh yeah right what about the ubiquitous Cisco VoIP phones
02:40:21  obviously a human interaction device
02:40:23  does their OS count?
02:40:24  I should know, I taught a class on GPU programming
02:40:35  did you teach a class on GPU firmware / driver authoring
02:41:10  kmc: nah, it was at the level of authoring software for them (the shaders, etc., that are sent to the GPU)
02:41:23  but the GPU doesn't have much of an OS to speak of
02:41:27 -!- ion has joined.
02:41:32  if it crashes, the whole system hard crashes, no permissions or anything like that
02:41:38  mm
02:41:47  (if you're lucky it'll have a watchdog timer that'll reboot it after it's spent 5 seconds crashed, sometimes it even works)
02:42:14  I guess I still don't think of computers as Internet communication devices
02:42:27  that's really what tablets are for, people used larger computers for that earlier because tablets hadn't been invented yet
02:43:17  well
02:43:21  i don't have any desire to own a tablet
02:43:30  "media consumption devices" is a description I'd seen
02:43:33  i find it useful to use the same device for internet communications and other things
02:43:34  and I think tablets are terrible too
02:44:12  it might be nice if that one device were a tablet with a keyboard dock
02:44:18  but i don't think i can get one meeting my needs
02:44:33  and so i don't have a desire to own a second device that's only good for a subset of the things the firsst device is good for
02:45:47  (it would have to be a nice keyboard, preferably with a pointing stick, and capable of running a real desktop linux distro, and not "capable" in the sense of "some guy on xda forums might have done it", but actually no bullshit)
02:46:53  the reason i finally got a smartphone is that i needed a 3G/4G hotspot device, and phone was not much more than a standalone device

09:24:17  why are you reading that
09:29:05  http://www.reddit.com/r/shittyaskscience/comments/13o48n/is_it_required_to_shampoo_the_air_before_turning/
09:29:14 * Sgeo__ is easily amused
09:30:44  hehe
09:55:22  ion: Want lens to be faster?
10:19:11 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined.
10:20:44  shachaf: No, it’s perfect right now.
10:21:08  You're sure?
10:22:01  Making it any faster might rip a hole in the spacetime.
10:22:33  It's, uh, pretty slow right now.
10:23:20  spacetime tears pretty easily
10:24:14  monqy: Want lens to be faster?
10:24:31  Sgeo__, wow, /r/shittyprogramming is crap
10:24:41  shachaf: I don't know.
10:25:01  monqy: when will you learn that knowing is important
10:25:08  shachaf: I don't know.
10:25:22  monqy: Good answer.
10:25:29  Will making it faster require the use of unsafeCoerce/unsafePerformIO or a tradeoff in a different dimension such as space usage?
10:25:35  Nah.
10:25:47  Well, maybe. I don't know.
10:25:52  It'll require someone to write benchmarks.
10:26:30  Is there any significant liklihood thatn making it faster will require architectural considerations that should be taken into account now rather than later?
10:27:12  I don't know?
10:27:14  Like what?
10:28:02  No idea, just saying that it might be a bad idea to solidify the design and base everything around it if it fundamentally does something significantly slow, if speed is a concern. 
10:28:38  But if it's slow but not due to underlying algorithm (i.e. due to not being microoptimized or something) then I assume that could wait.
10:28:53 * shachaf wonders how many "algorithms" lens has.
10:29:23  is
10:29:39  is sgeo giving shachaf advice
10:30:02  shachaf seems to need lens advice, and who better to give it than sgeo
10:30:27  monqy makes a good point
10:30:30  As far as I can tell I'm channeling Captain Obvious.
10:31:10  monqy: have you read book
10:31:13  (by vernor vinge)
10:31:19  Lieutenant Commander Obvious now.
10:31:22  She got promoted.
10:31:35  shachaf: maybe? probably not.
10:32:49  monqy: can i have some life advice????
10:33:20  don't ask sgeo for lens advice
10:33:44  is that life enough for you
10:33:48  alt. advice enough for you
10:33:52  monqy: no monqy
10:33:57  life isn't all about lenses
10:34:20  what!!!!!
10:34:23  I've been decieved
10:34:33  oh no
10:34:33  i'll try another life advice
10:34:33  shachaf, what did you do with the real shachaf?
10:34:38  i thought lens was fast
10:34:49  elliott: Have you seen Control.Lens.Zipper?
10:34:52  "hideous"
10:34:58  your perception was distorted
10:35:03  shachaf
10:35:05  i have a site for you
10:35:06  http://www.lifeadvicefromoldpeople.com/
10:35:14  maybe it will help you
10:35:22  control.lens.zipper isn't lens...
10:35:23  wait......
10:35:26  monqy are you old?
10:35:37  yes
10:35:41  oh no!
10:35:46  I'm like a granny or something
10:35:46  elliott: Yes it is?
10:36:01  monqy: are you granny smith
10:36:07  a granny smith
10:36:24  is a granny smith old
10:37:14  old granny smiths are
10:37:33  is monqy a old granny smith
10:38:05  i don't see why not
10:45:11  well it doesn't make lens slow
10:45:14  just because one extra par tof itis slow
10:46:06  elliott: but
10:46:10  lens is made of parts
10:54:05  If IRC servers never sent PINGs, would some clients get disconnected because of lack of activity on the socket?
11:00:34  It sounds not impossible, though the client could very easily e.g. do TCP keepalive to mitigate that.

11:08:58  I don't get it, what does over do there?
11:09:04  elliott: Did you know lastOf (backwards folded) compiles to the same code as listToMaybe?
11:09:20  no
11:09:30  that is pretty cool though
11:09:37  > "abcd" ^?! _head
11:09:39    Not in scope: `_head'
11:09:39   Perhaps you meant one of these:
11:09:39     `head' (imported ...
11:09:43  oh

11:10:05  > "test abc" & uniplate %~ reverse

11:10:16  hmm
11:10:24  > "test abc" ^.. uniplate
11:10:26    ["est abc"]
11:10:37  what's the difference between uniplate and partsOf uniplate here?
11:10:40  > "test abc" ^. partsOf uniplate
11:10:42    ["est abc"]
11:10:46  > "test abc" ^.. partsOf uniplate
11:10:48    [["est abc"]]
11:10:52  right, but...
11:10:56  hm
11:11:05  Which part is the confusion?
11:11:32  I don't quite understand why partsOf uniplate %~ reverse doesn't do the shuffly thing
11:11:47  or how uniplate %~ reverse works, given that it seems to only give one result ("est abc")
11:11:54  yet it shuffles "recursively" inside those results when you actually do it
11:11:59  No it doesn't.
11:12:04  Look again.
11:12:17  ah, so it doesn't
11:12:32  so the reason partsOf uniplate doesn't do it is because you just reverse a one-element list and put it back; right
11:12:46  is there a recursive version of uniplate?
11:13:36  btw did you know template = uniplate
11:13:45  yes
11:13:48  but is there a recursive version of uniplate?
11:13:56  uniplate is recursive.
11:14:06  > "test abc" ^.. uniplate
11:14:08    ["est abc"]
11:14:11  doesn't look like it
11:14:27  I'd expect ["est abc", "st abc", "t abc", ..., ""]
11:14:36  > universe "test abc"
11:14:38    ["test abc","est abc","st abc","t abc"," abc","abc","bc","c",""]
11:14:43  :t universe
11:14:45  Plated a => a -> [a]
11:14:46  I guess it can't be a Lens
11:14:54  > universeOf uniplate "test abc"
11:14:57    ["test abc","est abc","st abc","t abc"," abc","abc","bc","c",""]
11:15:26  When Cale upgrades lambdabot, we'll get upon.
11:15:32  Oh, and edwardk implemented uponTheDeep
11:17:45  shachaf: is Control.Lens.WithIndex.itoList's documentation supposed to link to Data.IntMap
11:18:52  elliott: Nope.
11:19:10  someone should fix that
11:19:14  (not me)

11:30:15  I guess it'd be redundant with Data
11:30:26  and also mess up inference

12:15:56  @tell oerjan my Minks implementation is based on what was written in the minks page + what was said on the talk page; also I did not put any comments in it and the parser is incredibly badly written; I'm not sure considering that implementation as some sort of "reference implementation" is such a good idea ;)
12:15:57  Consider it noted.
12:16:19  @tell oerjan also I'll try to remember why I put it on the talk page in the first place and not in a wiki page of its own

12:28:37  instance Gettery (->)

12:33:03  monqy: no
12:33:37  monqy: no but! your eyes just sort of glaze over and you don't actually read the signatures after a while

12:56:29  can you do it in a way that doesn't involve a list at least
12:56:34  I don't know. :-(
12:56:39  I've wondered about that.
12:56:44  i mean you must be able to

13:02:35  can ursala compute the sum of a string
13:02:38  you can do the reverse thing

13:25:01  oh
13:25:06  i thought you meant strict as in strict

13:25:12  No, index-strict.
13:25:19  One of them builds a bunch of thunks, though, I assume.
13:25:19  um
13:25:21  probably not
13:25:25  Why not?
13:25:32  what if you have a complex lens type

13:25:41  er

13:25:49  @ty indexed
13:25:50  that has a lot of computation

13:26:22  wel
13:26:23  l
13:26:24  Yes.
13:26:25  I guess it can be strict
13:26:28  it seems semantically wrong though
13:26:35  indexed turns an existing traversal into an Int-indexed traversal
13:26:40  what if you have a structure where it's easy to access in order
13:26:41  Just by the order it Ints by.
13:26:46  but calculating the exact indices is expensive
13:26:51  ?
13:26:54  oh
13:26:57  wait
13:27:01  does it even change semantics to make it strict then
13:27:07  Sort of.
13:27:09  how
13:27:17  Maybe not.
13:27:19 -!- sivoais has joined.
13:27:20  Who cares about semantics?
13:27:25  I asked if it should be strict.

13:40:15  then i guess yes
13:45:30  elliott: Isn't it annoying how with rank-2 types, to make a type *more* polymorphic you have to make the signature *more* specific?

14:17:11  when i found him in one of the huts, there was a flurry of chaos and everyone started attacking me

14:22:17  Phantom_Hoover, has elliott started the fortress yet?
14:23:08  maybe
14:23:12  you could ask elliott that

16:02:25  incredibly badly written; I'm not sure considering that implementation as some sort of "reference implementation" is such a good idea ;)
16:02:25  Arc_Koen said 3h 46m 5s ago: also I'll try to remember why I put it on the talk page in the first place and not in a wiki page of its own
16:04:01  Arc_Koen: well the part about conditions starting True was also in the talk page; the other change was that only conditions before commands count for the loop checking, which your truth machine depends on.  feel free to undo it but then you need to change both your implementation and your truth machine.

16:45:33  you have to help

16:47:18  Hello
16:47:49  elliott, you can do step 2 easily by saying "I hate you almost as much as I hate ducks!"
16:48:23  atriq, good thinking!
16:48:39  i'm handing control of this project over to you, you are more likely to know about witches in the hexham area
16:49:21  I can't think of any specific witch off the top of my head, but I'll put out some feelers
16:49:30  atriq: that doesn't work if i like ducks though..... i;td be a compliment
16:49:49  elliott, the witch doesn't have to know you like ducks!
16:50:33  Think of the insinuations of the negative word "hate"
16:50:38  As applied to ducks
16:50:45  ok
16:50:47  The obvious assumption is that the speaker hates ducks
16:50:49  bring a duck with you
16:50:51  kill it
16:51:02  then say 'i hate you almost as much...' etc.
16:51:15  what if that just means i love ducks....... to death
16:51:42  say you love her........... to death too, then try and kill her however you killed the duck
16:51:55  she will turn you into a duck as an ironic lesson on the consequences of your actions
16:52:19  im bested
16:55:06  atriq, any luck on witch location
16:56:35  Not so far
16:59:42  come on surely there are some witches in northumberland who like homestuck!
17:00:48  a) Northumberland is pretty big, and Hexham's right in the south of it
17:01:01  b) most of the Homestucks I know live in Tyne and Wear
17:05:23  Tyne and Wear sound like made-up names.
17:06:12  It's a modern county named after two rivers flowing through it
17:06:21  The Tyne also flows through Hexham
17:06:33  they have a metro
17:06:43  Do the metro trains run on Tyne? 
17:06:53  Yeah, and Wear

17:11:42  Acquire a Homestuck shirt, ideally from your wardrobe. Wander about in it constantly, but not just after updates.
17:12:08  unfortunately i wear a jumper all the time
17:12:15  and i don't think you can get homestuck jumpers
17:12:18  more's the pity
17:12:37  You can get Homestuck hoodies, which are closer to jumpers than t-shirts
17:13:41  too heavy for the purposes i wear a jumper
17:14:33  You can just wear your Homestuck underwear on top of your pants.
17:15:03  hahaha nice try fizzie
17:15:10  i'm not googling 'homestuck underwear'
17:15:33  There's an empty Tumblr with that title.

18:13:28  it's all very mysterious
18:32:12  oh no
18:32:27  where's elliott
18:32:40  What is a amplitude per second units?
18:33:05  amplitude is not a unit?
18:33:17  dB/s?
18:33:33  dBHz
18:34:08  oh
18:34:11  It is not measured here in dB though, it is measured using linear
18:34:32  I see that DF is trendy again
18:34:44  They are floating point values that would be converted to integer and store in sound files.
18:35:21  probably that amplitude is unitless
18:35:28  it's a fraction of the maximum cone displacement
18:35:40  unless your audio files are normalized to some volume standard
18:36:17  in which case they are a maximum of some specified decibel value at some specified measuring condition
18:36:20  and so still unitless
18:36:43  They are 0 dB at whatever the user specifies in the Csound orchestra file, in the "0dbfs" parameter.
18:37:09  That becomes the maximum value without clipping
18:39:46  what was that command to leave a message for someone using our bot[s]?
18:39:55  It is Csound, and some of the commands I added take the amplitude per second measurements, such as the "slowchange" command.
18:39:58  @tell nooga it's @tell
18:39:58  Consider it noted.

18:41:36  @tell elliott http://cl.ly/image/2R2T1L0G0L2e OH LOOK WHAT I'VE GOT :}
18:41:36  Consider it noted.
18:41:50  done, thanks
18:44:23  zzo38: ah you mean samples per second. also known as frequency. it is measured in Hz
18:45:10  quintopia: Well, yes, it is Hz, I guess, although in this case the amplitude is important too
18:45:28  Well, the sampling rate is twice the maximum frequency
18:45:50  but as kmc said, the amplitude is unitless
18:45:57  because it is relative
18:46:08  Amplitude will depend on bits per sample
18:46:32  Well, accuracy
18:46:39  or use dB since apparently you specify a 0dB standard
18:47:36  But what I have is more like a slope I think

19:48:52  It has its own orchestra prorgamming language, and then there is also a score file which tells it what instruments to play, when, and what parameters.
19:50:39  oh
19:50:39  It is not difficult to add new commands by writing plugins in C. You don't need to do anything other than compile the plugin with the correct options (on my computer: gcc -DUSE_DOUBLE -I "$CSOUNDDIR/include" -shared -o csoundextraopcodes.dll -O2 csoundextraopcodes.c -lm); once it is compiled, it will automatically work.

19:55:15  i figured out how metajousting would work yesterday
19:56:49  I changed S, R, clock, to x-rate instead of a-rate. This "flipflop" command I made up can be used to convert other signals into a square wave one octave lower.
19:56:57  quintopia: How does metajousting work?
19:57:50  the rules about the tape and polarities are the same as for bfjoust
19:58:22  but the "flag" cells are initialized to zero, because the goal is not to tear down the flags on the regular tape
19:58:45  instead, there is a second two-cell three-bit tape, with both initialized to 7
19:59:08  and each player has a pointer to one of these cells on this tape
19:59:26  we reinclude . and , to mean what they do in bf
20:00:07  but, if a player outputs 0, it flips the meta-pointer to the other cell, and if it outputs 1 or -1, it increments or decrements the cell the metapointer is pointing to
20:01:04  and , copies the current value of the pointed cell on the metatape to the regular tape
20:01:14  the goal is to lower the metaflag for two cycles

20:55:25  more i should think, although the paradigms are completely different so how to compare...
20:56:03  there are enough registers to do a collatz function similar to the 3-cell bf, but i'm not sure whether it is possible to manipulate conditions in the right way
20:56:46  i don't yet see a way to set a condition only if a register is 0
20:57:40  and you cannot clear conditions at all if both registers are far from 0

21:42:07  You give it numbers X and Y, and then it cycles so that it's available for X seconds, then it's broken for Y seconds, and so on. By default when it's broken it's totally broken, but you can also tell it to instead drop all writes but work correctly when reading, or to corrupt every N'th byte of each matching IO request data block.

21:44:13  I don't think it has an option for that, though it probably should be possible to do that too with device-mapper somehow. Possibly with some setup involving dm-delay too.
21:46:26  If nothing else, you should be able to make your "disk" by combining dm-linear's mapping to the non-broken parts and dm-flakeys for the broken ones. Some scripting would undoubtedly be involved.

21:53:25  OK so in DF, minecarts going quickly around sharp bends jump the tracks and spill their contents everywhere at high speed.
21:53:31  Minecarts can also carry magma.
21:54:04  Phantom_Hoover, did you do this by accident, or are you planning to do this delibrately
21:54:16  Deliberately.
21:54:44  Obviously, even in DF it'd be pretty ridiculous to accidentally build a magma linear accelerator.
21:55:44  OTOH minecarts are also a much more practical way of transporting magma over long distances than pump stacks, so I was planning to do it anyway.
21:55:45  Maybe you accidentally built your magma forges miles away from lava
21:55:51  Because you sneezed
21:56:01  And thought "let's be dorfy!"
21:56:13  "MAGMA TRAIN!!!"

22:32:18  hello
22:32:19  Arc_Koen: You have 3 new messages. '/msg lambdabot @messages' to read them.
22:32:24  @messages
22:32:24  oerjan said 6h 28m ago: well the part about conditions starting True was also in the talk page; the other change was that only conditions before commands count for the loop checking, which your
22:32:24  truth machine depends on. feel free to undo it but then you need to change both your implementation and your truth machine.
22:32:25  oerjan said 6h 26m 32s ago: that is, the condition x is used as a target in the truth machine, but ignored for the loop check
22:32:25  oerjan said 6h 23m 28s ago: also i certainly don't consider your use of bounded integers to be authoritative >:)
22:32:28  ah thinking of the devil...

22:33:17  am I the devil to you? :(
22:33:33  ...it's a stock phrase, slightly modified.
22:36:53  i think the impossibility of clearing conditions while both registers are non-zero implies Minks is not TC
22:38:20  I was afraid you might say that
22:47:56  oh hm actually the more serious problem is that there is no way to set one condition based on another _not_ being set.
22:48:56  wait that's an oversimplification too
22:52:39  yeah hmm "there is no way to" doesn't seem like something easy to prove
22:55:16  it's not true when a register is close to 0 :P
22:55:58  the actual argument is somewhat more complicated.
22:57:44  you make a graph where the vertices are conditions, and there is an edge between conditions if there's a dec or DEC instruction causing the one to set the other
23:00:22  when both registers are set, conditions gradually get set to True along the paths of that graph, until there are no more edges to follow.  this must happen in a number of loops <= the diameter of the graph.
23:01:12  once this happens, no conditions can change again until one of the registers reaches 0.
23:05:55  so the graph is one way of describing the program?
23:06:15  well one aspect of it
23:09:04  i am having an annoying intuition not to try to explain this
23:09:45  ...maybe there's an error in the argument somewhere, then.
23:11:48 * oerjan is more inclined to think his intuition is just being an asshole.
23:20:31  How can I encode that in Haskell...

23:20:47  From the GEDCOM specs
23:21:42  stillborn
23:21:49  is that when you're dead before being born?
23:21:51  Yes
23:22:18  I'm inclined to make the first part an Ordering
23:22:31  can I ask why you're doing this? it sounds depressing
23:22:53  I'm writing a genealogy library in haskell
23:22:59  It's a long term project
23:23:05  I'm not very far
23:24:39  are stillborn that relevant for genealogy purposes? I don't think they get to have much offspring
23:24:48  I don't know
23:24:54  This is a standard that I'm trying to stick to
23:33:21  uhhh
23:33:34  i let the vampire out so i could move her into a strand extraction facility
23:33:49  she's already killed elliott
23:35:18  did you at least give her suncream?
23:38:37  oh she got Vorpal as well
23:38:51  i feel like this is some form of irony
23:39:32  oh for--
23:39:46  every time she actually goes inside her little prison she immediately leaves and feeds again
23:40:15  on her way to the bedrooms, she has passed the people carrying both elliott and Vorpal's bodies to the tombs
23:41:46  ohshit
23:42:07  those 3 deaths alone were enough to make like 10 dorfs miserable
23:42:26  this could get very messy indeed
23:43:33  time to exercise some exorcism
23:43:47  so three of your people have been killed because they were trying to rescue dead bodies?
23:43:57  and now there are 5 dead bodies and nobody to rescue them?
23:44:03  No.
23:44:15  Vampire kills elliott; body is discovered.
23:44:19  ok
23:44:26  Vampire kills Vorpal, body is discovered.
23:44:32  ok
23:44:50  Bodies moved to tombs. Vampire moves to other section of fortress where I am vainly attempting to trap her.
23:44:59  oook
23:45:40  Tombs are also in this section. Vampire slips the net, moves back to bedrooms to feed again. People carrying Vorpal and elliott's bodies are going the other way and pass her in the corridor.
23:45:55  wait
23:46:08  Vampire kills third dorf, I follow her back and trap her properly this time.
23:46:09  you said "vampire moves to other section"
23:46:28  I was assuming "other than the section the "moving bodies to tomb" action takes place in"
23:49:30  nah, they're the same
23:49:37  also: the tantrums have started
23:49:57  i have a robust justice system and a lot of happiness boosters in place; i hope it's enough
23:50:48  famous last words
23:52:11  a robust system where the captain of the guard is asleep, preventing any crimes being reported
23:57:40  Yeah, this has fortunately mostly blown over.

00:20:24  The mayor has gone berserk, and she's friends with half the fortress.
00:21:50  Great, we've now got even more miserable dorfs than just after the 3 murders.
00:23:53  I have a feeling the entire fortress is hanging by a thread.
00:25:32  you should find that damocles dorf and ask him
00:26:02  A butcher went berserk; I think this is it.
00:29:59  Phantom_Hoover, see, that is what happens when you put the dwarf named after me in peril
00:30:36  your life is worth nothing next to a great strand extractor!
00:31:51  hm when were vampires added?
00:32:04  May, I think
00:32:05  I don't remember seeing them, and I haven't played for several months by now
00:32:10  that explains it
00:34:28  atriq, so how do they work when it comes to strand extractors?
00:34:52  I've never stuck with a fortress long enough to encounter one
00:36:10  this is horrible
00:38:26  OK, if I can't stem this tantrum spiral, I can at least make sure I have enough coffins to bury everyone in the fort!
00:43:05  Need you to bury everyone in the fort?
00:44:18  And if so, are you sure you require coffins to do so?
00:46:07  well if they all die, yes
00:46:21  to prevent miasma and unhappy thoughts from friends and relatives
00:46:31  although by this point i'm not sure the latter will help at all
00:46:51  otoh: the number of miserable dorfs has fallen somewhat!
00:47:38  fallen off this mortal coil

11:55:11  ion: Please fix the hierarchy to look like that. :-(
11:56:00  shachaf: Ok, fixed. I also added type families while i was at it.
11:56:14  To whom?
11:56:23  to ur mom
11:56:30  I mean, where do type families belong?
11:58:17  shachaf: For constraints, so you can make Set a functor for instance.
11:59:03  "ew :'("
11:59:08  Besides Set will never be Applicative.
12:00:51  class Functor f => Pointed f where pure :: a -> f a; unit :: f (); pure a = a <$ unit; unit = pure ()
12:02:24  class Functor f => Apply f where (<*>) :: f (a -> b) -> f a -> f b; azip :: f a -> f b -> f (a, b); azip as bs = (,) <$> as <*> bs; fs <*> as = uncurry id <$> azip fs bs
12:02:39  type Applicative f = (Pointed f, Apply f)
12:02:48  :)
12:02:50  That’s not zipping.
12:03:05  atriq: No, Applicative has laws.
12:03:12  As edwardk pointed out in the other channel earlier.
12:03:37  Also what ion said.
12:03:46  ion, is that me making a mistake, or is that me naming things badly?
12:04:06  > zip [0..5] [0..5]
12:04:08    [(0,0),(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(5,5)]
12:04:11  > liftA2 (,) [0..5] [0..5]
12:04:13    [(0,0),(0,1),(0,2),(0,3),(0,4),(0,5),(1,0),(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(2...
12:04:27  > getZipList $ liftA2 (,) (ZipList [0..5]) (ZipList [0..5])
12:04:28    [(0,0),(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(5,5)]
12:05:27  You could do "class (Pointed f, Apply f) => Applicative f
12:05:59  Better.
12:06:49  class (Apply f, forall a. Semigroup (f a)) => Alt f
12:07:27  Would that work?
12:15:06  Not really?

19:07:32  Gregor: Can glogbot handle people talking who aren't in the channel?
19:07:44  i'll lay a log on your mom
19:07:58  elliott: Sure, it doesn't really care who's in the channel except to know how to report QUIT.
19:10:22  Yes I have tried it, if you sent message directly to glogbot it will still be logged (except password command).
19:11:51  If you privmsg your password to glogbot, it will show up as "hunter2".
19:11:55  Or so I heard.
19:12:57  yeah its true, i tested it
19:13:02  Well if that is your password it will. I mean specifically password command not just a command which contains your password. I think.
19:13:05  Gregor: Is it?
19:13:48  Oh u
19:17:18  My logs are also raw IRC, although still different from glogbot; I use SIRCL although it should be easy to convert between if you don't need microseconds.
19:22:43  Some log formats don't log hostnames, don't log seconds, etc, if you need to convert a format without hostnames into one that has, I suggest using "notavailable.pseudo", and if one without seconds/microseconds to one that has, to use zero.

20:11:30  This is messy experimental Haskell stuff
20:11:31 -!- oerjan has joined.
20:11:31  in ocaml it means cons (as in head :: tail)
20:11:39  In Haskell, that would be :
20:11:54  :: means "Had type of" or, as here, "Has kind of"
20:12:01  oh, right
20:12:06  yeah those are switched :)
20:12:32  yeah you can use : to force a type in ocaml
20:12:38  Did the creators of ML and Haskell get together and say "How awkward can we make it for people to switch between the two?"
20:13:00  atriq: i assume haskell borrowed it from miranda
20:13:09  ML was definitely oldest
20:13:12  and ocaml is french, so it's ok to be reversed
20:13:27  Arc_Koen: i assume it's the same in standard ml as in ocaml
20:13:38  I certainly hope so
20:13:48  but that's beyong my time
20:13:56  I don't need a type "Succ" if the type "Maybe" would work?
20:14:28  zzo38: i think you can use Maybe instead of Succ for type-level calculations, yes
20:14:41  zzo38, you could even use [] or IO
20:15:06  atriq: Yes you could, but if Zero is uninhabited then you have (Maybe (Maybe (Maybe Zero))) with three possible values, and so on.
20:15:12  ML : and :: are Miranda :: and :, yes
20:15:18  Or StateT [Integer] (WriterT Ordering STM)
20:15:27  zzo38, it's the types that matter, not the values
20:15:53  It is why I would use Maybe here, even if the values are not used. Since, it will be compatible with something which does use values of that type.
20:16:10  i guess the rationale is that cons is more often used than type annotation
20:16:16  You could, if you want, replace Zero with any type of kind *
20:16:31  It doesn't matter if the type has values or not
20:16:35  Therefore in (Stack n a) then you can use the n type as an index to read something inside the stack.
20:16:38  while original ML borrowed the : from mathematical type theory
20:17:26  mind you miranda had a crazy type notation - type variables were *, **, *** etc.
20:17:55  so haskell improved some of the syntax
20:18:04  atriq: Yes you could do that too; but at least how I generally do, is define Zero as uninhabited, and use that as the number zero in types as well as using it as an uninhabited type in general.
20:18:29  they should have used *, †, ‡, etc.
20:18:47  miranda was almost certainly pre-unicode
20:19:03  i'll make my own encoding! with blackjack! and hookers!
20:19:31  ♠♥♦♣
20:19:32  has anyone made their own esolang with blackjack and hookers yet
20:19:51  kmc: UTF-HOMESTUCK?
20:20:19  I think you should use name mangling for codes higher than ASCII, like CWEB and Punycode does.
20:21:15  Fiora, are you on Sgeo__'s list of people to tell when an update happens?
20:21:22  i'm pretty sure ghc does in the backend(s)
20:21:54  I think they should do that with Haskell, too. Or, if is made Ibtlfmm with a Unicode extension, it makes the name like that, so that the same file can be used with ASCII files.
20:21:57  z means something else
20:22:33  oerjan: But is it possible to do it with source files?
20:23:03  we already have a fine way to represent unicode characters as sequences of bytes
20:23:17  ghc always assumes utf-8 for source file contents (ignoring comments which are more lenient)
20:23:23  amazingly there are people in the world who don't use English as their primary language
20:23:28  and might want to edit documents in their native tongue
20:23:32  including source code
20:23:51  kmc: And that fine way is surely UTF-1.
20:23:54  what was that icelandic programming language again
20:24:29  a bunch of countries had national localized variants of BASIC
20:24:35  kmc: Yes I agree you might want to do that, but you can use whatever encoding you want it shouldn't require Unicode specifically. As long as it is ASCII compatible, comments can be in any encoding you want.
20:24:38  How do you get "more lenient" than an encoding? Is GHC expected to guess what encodings are used in a comment?
20:24:44  usually as part of some government "teach our children to computer good" initiative
20:24:46  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fj%C3%B6lnir_(programming_language)
20:24:49  atriq: yes yes I am
20:24:52  Sgeo__: you can allow invalid UTF-8 sequences in comments
20:24:55  Ah
20:25:05  basically you look for the terminator "-}" as a byte sequence
20:25:07  it is super useful actually
20:25:10  kmc: Yes I think invalid UTF-8 sequences should be allowed in comments.
20:25:31  so then you can use UTF-8 or ISO-8859-anything in comments
20:25:52  Can't use UTF-16 in comments though
20:26:00  true but why the fuck would you do that
20:26:01  Erm, well, hmm.
20:26:08  multibyte CJK encodings is a more realistic concern
20:26:29  I agree you should be allowed to use anything in comments as long as not conflict with the ASCII codes which terminate the comment.
20:26:30  sadly } is not in the ISO 646 invariant set, so if I go back in time 40 years and try to program Haskell on a norwegian microcomputer I might have some troubles
20:26:45  zzo38: i guess ghc decided to do only utf-8 to avoid a mess for transferring files between people with different setups
20:26:46  have to end your comments with -å
20:27:07  GHC also allows non-ASCII identifiers though
20:27:09  probably ghc did utf-8 only because it is the only reasonable thing to do
20:27:17  and for those you need to know both the encoding and the character properties database
20:27:23  zzo38: Character encodings come in two sorts: UTF-8, and insane.
20:27:29  I do not support insanity.
20:27:35  yeah
20:28:03  Unicode (I don't mean UTF-8, I mean Unicode in general) is crazy.
20:28:26  Near as I can tell, essentially all complexity in Unicode is inherent to the domain.
20:28:33  Unicode is complex because *text* is complex.
20:28:36  unicode is pretty crazy but the advantages of using this global standard outweigh whatever complexity could be avoided by using your weird thing
20:28:47  There's a small handful of things that could be simplified about it.
20:29:06  But those are things you're probably not even thinking of.
20:29:09  of course i am talking to someone who thinks that gopher is the best hypertext protocol and magic the gathering is the best programming language
20:29:16  I don't care if they don't do anything other than UTF-8 that is OK, as long as it is compatible with ASCII, which UTF-8 is. But they should allow the names to have ASCII equivalents, somewhat like Punycode does it. Or, just use ASCII encoding and ignore Unicode and everything, and do name conversion like CWEB does it.
20:29:50  Fiora: Sgeo__ the human feed reader
20:29:52  people who speak only english tend to have poor perspective on the way text works globally
20:30:01 -!- epicmonkey has joined.
20:30:11  english is like the simplest case
20:30:11  (Korean could be encoded jamo by jamo instead of jamo by jamo *or* syllable by syllable, for instance)
20:30:36  kmc: ASCII doesn't even *quite* handle English, it just handles a sizeable subset of English.
20:30:40  right
20:30:47  it handles enough that most english speakers don't really care
20:30:50  pikhq_, hmm?
20:30:58  Therefore it work as well with UTF-8 as anything else if you don't care about encoding and just ensure that 8-bits encoding works.
20:31:00  What of English does ASCII not handle?
20:31:06  Sgeo__: café
20:31:13  but english might be almost the only language that's true for
20:31:16  Sgeo__: Well, you see, “quotation” doesn't work in ASCII properly.
20:31:19  coöperate
20:31:20  even among those using the latin alphabet
20:31:22  —
20:31:25  confusion of hyphen and minus
20:31:33  all kinds of typographical stuff that's used in english text
20:31:36  × (arguable, but)
20:31:56  ASCII has $ but not £; English my ass!
20:31:59  "pt"
20:32:07  You can code typographical stuff in TeX, even using only ASCII input file.
20:32:13  so
20:32:26  kmc: can you enlighten me, why are you arguing with zzo about encodings
20:32:26  But, TeX does support 8-bit input file too, if it would help.
20:32:31  yeah i dunno
20:32:34  zzo38: Or you can do it in a transparent and clean manner by encoding things properly.
20:32:37  been wondering that for a few minutes
20:32:52  i think i'm not so much arguing with zzo38 as vigorously agreeing with everyone else
20:32:59  zzo38: By the way, have fun using ASCII input for Japanese.
20:32:59  i know that zzo38 is a harmless and entertaining crackpot
20:33:02  Anywho.
20:33:25  but it bugs me how much that attitude pervades programming communities
20:33:58  Just do what CWEB does with 8-bit characters.
20:34:01  what is zzo38 even arguing for
20:34:06  unicode being stupid?
20:34:22  Phantom_Hoover, to exercise his keyboard, maybe
20:34:33  har har
20:34:43  Phantom_Hoover: Near as I can tell, he thinks that "a char is a character" is holy doctrine.
20:35:26  lets make char 32bit. problem solved
20:35:41  A codepoint is not a character.
20:35:49  Unicode is being stupid. In applications where you need universal character sets, it would have been better to design to change code points so that you don't need a lot of tables to know how to decode everything and fallback and so on.
20:36:42  zzo38: Your proposal requires *more* tables.
20:36:54  zzo38: that would be simpler tech but it would not accurately represent the complexities of how text is used world wide
20:36:59  including the need to accommodate legacy encodings
20:37:01  anyway, afaict oerjan's dorf is miserable solely because someone else has a slightly better bedroom
20:37:21  unicode would be a lot simpler if it didn't have to interconvert with legacy encodings, and there would be some value in that
20:37:30  but it would hinder adoption
20:38:51  Phantom_Hoover: darn that dorf really _is_ me, isn't he.
20:39:03  frankly i'm sick of programmers who have maximal privilege wrt character encodings complaining about the extra work necessary to make computers accessible to others
20:40:38  Phantom_Hoover: yo how do you do the dfhack thing
20:40:40  with the thing
20:40:41  and the thing
20:40:53  um
20:40:54  but hey as long as your software works for rich, able bodied English speakers living in San Francisco, that's good enough to make loads of cash
20:40:59  you mean the labour manager?
20:41:02  ul
20:42:25  I make open source software so if someone wants something which I don't want, they can add it, anyways.
20:43:11  16:28:23:  Did this channel used to have a -t mode lock?  CS INFO #esoteric  currently reports only +n mode lock
20:43:14  16:28:45:  Also did the founder be changed?
20:43:51  (1) fizzie had just changed it back (2) i think andreou was finally deregistered in freenode's last database cleanup
20:44:06  zzo38: but you can design it in such a way that others can add these features later
20:44:09  and the default policy is to transfer to freenode staff.
20:44:19  or you can design it in a way that is willfully incompatible with the global standard
20:44:22  for no reason
20:45:12  kmc: I design in whatever way I think is best. Usually that means that any ASCII-compatible encoding (such as UTF-8, CP437, etc) is allowed in comments.
20:45:50  And possibly in text too, it just won't decode it unless you tell it explicitly what it is.

20:53:02  fizzie: right but i seem to recall that was actually me
20:53:12  and I spam even with +n
20:53:13  so
20:53:19  i just found out, dfhack also actually fixes two major bugs if you use the right commands
20:53:35  what are the bugs
20:53:38  btw did that underwater bug ever get fixed
20:53:48  elliott: we prefer to have spammers where we can at least potentially ban them.  hth.
20:53:54  oerjan: +b works with -n...
20:53:59  stuff can't send to the channel if it's banned
20:54:03  oh it does?
20:54:11  well cf. the fact that you can't send messages while banned but in a channel
20:54:17  elliott, apparently there's a which in Hexham who has a shop opposite Gaia
20:54:18  not afaik, but the actual nature of it was unclear
20:54:21  I haven't actually tested it but you'd have to specifically code it to be really stupid for it not to work
20:54:36  anyway, the bugs are that humans and elves are meant to send diplomats
20:54:52  elliott, which is on Market Street, I think
20:54:58  atriq: a which
20:55:06  Phantom_Hoover: oh, well, no risk of diplomats where we're going
20:55:10  I meant "witch"
20:55:14  elliott: i dunno, it would be more efficient not to have to check a nick against the ban list on every message
20:55:15  oh fuck what are you doing
20:55:24  Phantom_Hoover: it's all under control
20:55:24  atriq: I liked it more when you were talking about a which.
20:55:37  with regexps, that is
20:55:54  oerjan: ...but you already have to do that (and bans aren't regexps)
20:56:02  because people who are banned cannot talk even if they are still in the channel
20:56:22  You need a which in order to become a dak.

23:14:18  elliott: have you seen my brogue streamer screenshot?
23:16:44  yep
23:18:13  it's broken, but I'm working on it
23:18:40  pretty efficient also, changes to Brogue's platform code were minimal
23:21:39  it can handle full color and animation
23:21:54  I presume it just streams the faketerm
23:22:16  but there's no realtime "omniscience" mode & inventory view
23:23:16  I changed Brogue's platform code to accumulate screen updates in a buffer and send them via TCP socket when game commits the changes to the screen
23:23:34  well, letting spectators use omniscience would be bad
23:23:55  and then there is a simple server that broadcasts this stuff to websocket clients
23:24:06  an I use rot.js for rendering
23:24:45  well, yeah :D
23:25:06  it would be nice if there was an in-game spectating mode too, though I don't know how hard that would be
23:25:46  not very hard, I got some ideas from Joshua Day
23:26:29  anyway
23:26:47  I guess this web client is an excercise in futility
23:27:13  if you can do spectating then you can also do server-based play
23:27:35  I thought about that

01:12:16  mm
01:12:27  Yeah, the type signature says "stab". Must be lenses
01:13:15  Now I really want to do lensey stuff in Clojure
01:13:17  That seems cool
01:13:26  Not that I understand it, but it seems cool.
01:13:29  do you know what it is?
01:13:43  good luck doing what lens does without a type system
01:14:01  Looks like sort of modifying a portion of a thing based on a function specifying where
01:14:16  I know about GopherVR, which can be used if you want a 3D render of the gopher menus. I just prefer the plain menus, and may be programmed differently for different device and virtual machine and whatever, whichever fit best for that specific computer.
01:14:34  (upon/uponTheDeep are awful hacks and should not be used)

01:14:46  an important question

01:14:54  If you have a category, you will have at least identity monad.

01:16:04  guys how do i go afk?
01:16:12  Rawlie: stand up and walk away from your keyboard

01:16:26    Right "abx"
01:16:41  elliott: Name conflicts are terrible. :-(
01:16:42  ...that's not nice
01:16:45  Rawlie: Use the AWAY command in IRC if you need to make a AWAY message for when someone will check.
01:17:01  k
01:17:03  ty
01:17:12  and what's double clicking?
01:17:50  what does that question mean...
01:18:02  btw my answer was serious
01:18:06  O no, wait, it is purple.
01:18:20  zzo38 makes a good point.
01:18:37  HOW TO GO AFK: set your name to RAWLIE|AFK with /NICK RAWLIE|AFK and stay at your keyboard you do not want to leave it
01:18:47  I don't know how to enter the AWAY command with that, but probably there is the menu something.
01:18:49  a bold claim
01:19:04  Rawlie: eat your keyboard it is the only way
01:19:15  colourful language
01:19:30  There is also sometimes use a client AWAY command too, but is rarely used; I think the syntax is the same as the IRC AWAY command but does not require a colon.
01:19:42  afk: always fucking keyboards
01:19:54  afk: ampersands = feudal knights
01:20:06  afk: altruistic father ksomething
01:20:13  why aren't there more k words?????????
01:20:30  AWAY I think client AWAY command is like this?
01:20:32  Kings?
01:21:07  Rawlie: i rarely bother to do anything special when leaving the keyboard unless i was just talking to someone

04:06:43  http://www.cs.princeton.edu/picasso/mats/HotspotOverview.pdf has some pretty badass internal details of the hotspot VM
04:08:14  it has a pretty clever solution to the problem of signaling to threads that they should stop at a safe point, to garbage collect or whatever
04:08:40  each thread tries to read a particular memory address periodically (discarding the result) and to make them stop, you just unmap that page
04:09:59  so the instruction that you have to sprinkle all throughout your code is simpler than a read + conditional jump, and doesn't clobber a register

07:00:37  i'm sold

07:00:48  is weechat any good
07:01:07 -!- nooga has joined.
07:01:23  i don't really like irssi
07:01:28  its channel-switching interface makes me sad
07:01:48  I think you can use quassel if you don't like irssi?
07:01:59  though it uses its own protocol I think, so like you don't need ssh/mosh
07:02:00  isn't quassel a qt thing
07:02:11  I'm not sure, I've just heard it suggested as an alternative
07:02:17  haven't used it though
07:02:21  client-server clients are nice but iirc i tried quassel once and its client UI was awful
07:02:50 * Fiora uses irssi personally
07:03:12  my problems with irssi are twofold:
07:03:34  i can never get alt+n to work in my terminal so i have to switch with "/w n" (verbose) or "n" (awkward)
07:03:36  and
07:03:44  I hate memorising which number a channel/query is on
07:03:45  Alt+n has always worked for me.
07:03:48  If you don't like it, you can Esc+n
07:04:00  I mean if it doesn't work.
07:04:07  you can't get alt numbers working with your terminal, what?
07:04:07  Also you can use the channel name to switch.
07:04:17  i already said n
07:04:24  Bike: well just generall alt+foo does not send ^[foo for me
07:04:31  elliott: Oh.
07:04:33  why not?
07:04:34  Bike: mac
07:04:34  I've never had problems with alt-n @_@  
07:04:36  probably it is some Xresource I need to tweak
07:04:39  I do not use os x
07:04:49  i use urxvt fwiw
07:04:52  how mysterious.
07:04:53  I don't either.
07:04:57  I used urxvt with irssi for years.
07:05:09  is this like, the problem where the window manager captures alt-N?  I remember once having issue with it using the alt keys to select which terminal tab to use instead of sending it
07:05:27  I think I solved it by not using tabs
07:05:30  i think it is just irssi not interpreting alt as meta
07:05:31  which isn't really a solution but
07:05:35  maybe it spontaneously fixed itself sometime since let me test

07:06:17  oh right I forgot I also hate irssi's default colour scheme

07:16:54  (Incidentally, talking about alt-a, I really hate active_window_ignore_refnum; fortunately it can be turned off.)
07:17:12  what is active_window_ignore_refnum
07:17:48  It's a toggle for the thing they did for alt-a, to make it switch to the last-activated window within those that have the highest activity level.
07:17:55  also is your colour scheme nice, maybe I should steal it
07:18:30  The old behaviour was to switch to the lowest-numbered such window, which I liked, since it was immediately obvious (from the activity list) which window it was going to switch to.
07:19:22  my colorscheme is just it gets rid of all the backgrounds (they're black), and the foregrounds become purple
07:19:43  oh and i do some stuff with the timestamp
07:19:48  colours and stuff
07:19:56  Did you mean irssi or urxvt colors? 
07:20:01  The latter are just the CGA colors.
07:20:18  (At home I have a bit brighter blues, but it seems I haven't updated this work box.)
07:20:42  i am talking about rxvt colours
07:20:47  Right.
07:20:49  oh
07:20:54  i use Deewiant's blue
07:21:03  i use whatever the defaults are
07:21:04  I may have copied it from him too.
07:21:09  apparently it makes my blues dark
07:21:12  but im fine with that
07:21:56  URxvt.color4: #0040ff
07:21:57  URxvt.color12: #5c5cff
07:21:58  the One True Blue
07:22:03  I seem to have #2222cc for dark blue and #6666ff for bright blue. I think I just added some numbers to my old blue.
07:22:29  I don't think I am terribly attached to the CGA palette, it was just so... regular.
07:22:42  It's all 0s, 5s, as or fs.
07:23:18  (Though the brown is admittedly not quite in the PATTERN.)
07:23:42  is there a way to get an xchat-style channel list sidebar in irssi. i realise asking for this makes me hopelessly uncool
07:24:37  lol
07:25:00  nooga: :(
07:25:06  I think I've seen scripts or plugins for that kind of stuff.
07:28:05  Oh my, nicklist.pl writes the nick list to a whole other terminal. That's very screwy.
07:28:16  crazy
07:28:26  fizzie: i dont want that..........
07:28:39  why do you need a nick list anyway
07:28:47  i dont want a nicklist !
07:28:53  i want a channel list so i see the numbers things are on and stuff
07:28:58  oh
07:28:58  Right, I was just looking at it since it's a sidebar too.
07:29:05  i misread channel list as nick list...

07:36:39  The fmt trick is kind of nasty for multiple lines since the input gets mixed with the output, and "cat > tmp.txt; fmt -t -w tmp.txt" is really too much to bother with.
07:37:05  Tailing the log is possibly most sensible, except I don't have irssi logging anything, and the bouncer's log format is the stupidest.

07:38:48  You could bind a command/key to doing /exec tail logfile-of-the-channel, that'd be like so modern.
07:38:49  Gregor just wants to be your friend. Ship. Friendship.
07:39:24  if you control-f for ℠ it will find 'sm' as well
07:39:34  obviously they are doing some kind of normalization
07:39:38  but which kind?!?
07:39:59  fizzie: but doesn't exec give unhelpful output
07:40:01  like won't it still wrap
07:41:24  I don't know, really.
07:41:33  Maybe it wraps too.
07:42:09  Sure does.
07:42:21  is there a kind of /exec that expands into the input line
07:42:23  that could work out
07:43:06  There's an exec that spews on-channel, but it's kind of risky maybe? 
07:43:49  You could write a quote-adding script that lets you grab quotes by nick-matching and regexes in the recent happenings of the current window.
07:43:51  right, well I want to combine stuff into one line
07:43:52  edit it etc.

08:27:30  hmm, I set URxvt.underlineURLs: false but the URLs are underlined still
08:28:59  You can configure matcher's rendering with URxvt.matcher.rend.N but that's undocumented.
08:29:47  I removed the code from mark-yank-urls and underlining seems to still happen, so I guess matcher does that nowadays.
08:30:03  this does not make me terribly happy
08:30:11  It does. You can google for urxvt.matcher.rend.0 to see examples on how to configure it.

08:30:41  oh well
08:30:43  I will just live with it

09:37:51  9 and I don't even care about most of them. Plus like five queries I care about sometimes.
09:39:27  Anyway, the "screen mode" might work for you, even if it is based on just talking control codes directly, since irssi doesn't provide real windows split that way.
09:41:32  what's with screenshots like e.g. http://www.die-welt.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/irssi-awl.png where you can see a bunch of windows listed horizontally then
09:42:21  ooh queries ima query elliott lol :DD
09:43:06  That's not a sidebar. But I suppose you can have multi-line statusbars like that, that probably works.
09:43:26  i just queried elliott :D
09:44:26  fizzie: well yes if I say "horizontal" that probably implies not a status bar...
09:46:07  You could go with one of them scripts. I didn't know awl did it that way, I thought it faked a sidebar since the code looked so crumminy.
09:46:46  fizzie: I'm a bit worried by "one of them scripts". are you saying there are multiple versions of this monstrosity
09:47:04  There's chanact and AWL, probably others too.
09:48:07  hmm i like how alt+a cycles back to the channel i was originally on if i press it enough
09:48:26  this is in weechat but i presume irssi behaves the smae
09:48:28  *same
09:48:46  Oh, and wlstat.
09:49:02  oh gosh this chanact thing looks complicated
09:49:14  why cna't this be simple ???? help me fizzie
09:49:20  Both wlstat and AWL are I think derivatives of chanact.
09:49:56  : (
09:49:59  how do i do bold in weechat
09:50:01  how do i do bold in irssi
09:50:07  ^B isn't working!!!
09:50:10  And irssi's alt-a stops moving if there are no windows with activity.
09:50:16  ^B works for me.
09:50:46  but what about when I'm done with the activity and want to see the channel I was idling on again
09:51:07  It just doesn't go anywhere.
09:51:11  It is a sad.
09:51:26  that's not good !!!!
09:51:28  maybe i'll stick with weechat

10:37:14  fizzie: Yes, Nintendo WiiChat

10:59:51  I think I can never do that.
11:00:24 * Sgeo__ wonders if Urbanoids is under any particular license, or if the code is sort of available only to be looked at and not to be used
11:00:50  I installed 'configuration mania' for firefox about 10 years ago so I'm used to that kind of thing.
11:01:50  setSomeProperties(1,3,6);
11:02:00  That's... very "clear" code

11:04:18  That reminds me of a typical robocode bot / sudoku solver
11:04:51  Those are all class members, even though the one-letter ones seem to be used mostly as loop indices and the like.
11:05:04  I suppose it's so that one doesn't have to keep declaring them over and over again.

11:07:25 * Sgeo__ vaguely imagines making a level editor
11:09:34  I have not the faintest guess as to what droidTX droidTY droidBX and droidBY are
11:10:05  droid{top,bottom}{x,y}
11:10:24  Droids have tops and bottoms?
11:10:34  Dr. Oidby
11:11:52  Sgeo__: It does seem like a box for it.
11:12:15  Huh. Weird, because they're pretty much all the same size, I think
11:12:27  At least in all levels that I've seen, all droids are the same size
11:12:40  Sgeo__: Given that if (((l==1)&&(objY[i]<=objPar2[i]))||((l==2)&&(objY[i]>=objPar4[i]))||((l==3)&&(objX[i]<=objPar1[i]))||((l==4)&&(objX[i]>=objPar3[i]))) test -- since, you know, droidTX/TY/BX/BY are the objPar1..4 for droids.
11:12:44  droidTX[i][j]=24*infile.read()+94; droidTY[i][j]=24*infile.read()+94; droidBX[i][j]=24*infile.read()+94; droidBY[i][j]=24*infile.read()+94;

11:13:31  I have not the faintest idea what tempback is for
11:13:32 -!- copumpkin has joined.
11:14:24  A temporary buffer for a background? 
11:14:48  It's size is related to width times height of something, at least.
11:15:22  And values from it are used to calculate values of map[i][j]
11:16:17  That "(256+tempback[o])&255" is the best, though.
11:16:42  n=((256+tempback[o])&255)+256*((256+tempback[o+1])&255); n=(n>>p)&127; map[i][j++]=n;  in full.
11:17:08  Or n=100+((n>>p)&31); instead of the second statement there, if i != 0.
11:17:25  I think i is the level number
11:17:36  As in, each map is divided into level
11:17:38  levels
11:17:43  The surface, then sewers, etc.
11:17:45  It's the number of a "layer".
11:18:08  "Zombies are one of the scary monsters that inhabit Minecraft worlds"
11:18:10  Ok, so that's what they're called
11:18:13  BBC News website
11:18:47  I suppose the (256+x)&255 is some kind of a superstitious thing to make negative values of x positive.
11:19:13  Going to be fun to write code to actually output this file format
11:19:33  Input is .. I could just sort of copy this code, translate it almost blindly
11:20:34  "j=8191; // Weird"
11:20:39  The code makes me smily.
11:20:49  atriq: why is the BBC News website talking about minecraft
11:21:04  (Sure, it's just a label for the sound effect, but still.)
11:21:39  elliott, who knows
11:21:55  They also talk about gangnam style and floods affecting the north of England
11:21:57  elliott: To further infringe on your sensibilities, I recommend the script for installing scripts, weeget.
11:24:48  Deewiant: But how do you install that script! 
11:24:59  Is there a script specifically for installing weeget? 
11:25:25  I think you need to do it manually, otherwise you're just adding extra steps to the whole process.
11:26:17  For the record, irssi's tips page recommends /alias commands that update irssi scripts via rsync.
11:27:08  Either one that does a full rsync into ~/.irssi/scripts/official/ or another that just does rsync --existing into ~/.irssi/scripts/ if you don't want all of them.
11:27:14  It's almost like having a script-management script.

11:32:17 -!- atriq has quit (Quit: Leaving).
11:34:24  It's storing entrance and exit positions as a single number?
11:34:24  I reiterate my stance that the name is stupider.
11:36:50  Sgeo__: I think it's just that exit from one layer is an entrance to another. It does read two pairs of coordinates for each exit; the exitPos and the exitToPos.
11:37:08  Fortunately I'm happy with programs with names like "urxvt", "git", "ssh", "zip", and whatnot, so I'm not particularly bothered by names.
11:37:24  The entrancePos on layer layerParent[i] is the exitToPos on layer i.
11:37:33  Those names aren't stupid.
11:37:47  I'm saying the Pos itself is one number rather than 2
11:38:14  Sgeo__: Oh. Well, sure, why not? 
11:38:17  Hmm, I think...
11:38:31  fizzie: "git" /means/ "stupid".
11:38:34 -!- epicmonkey has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
11:38:41  Deewiant: But it /isn't/ stupid.
11:38:43  "git" does not mean "stupid".
11:38:51  Get off my lawn.
11:39:29  git - the stupid content tracker
11:39:51  I'm sure there are some limitations as to what is in an allowable level so that this makes sense, but don't quite see them
11:40:52  I don't know what is your problem with the positions. It's just y*w+x, it's even decomposed back with newPos%mapW and newPos/mapW to go into objX and objY.
11:41:02  objX[0]=24*(newPos%mapW)-2;
11:41:02  objY[0]=24*(newPos/mapW)-2;
11:41:55  Oh, you noted that
11:42:40  Deewiant: That doesn't make "git" mean "stupid".
11:43:11  1. rotter, dirty dog, rat, skunk, stinker, stinkpot, bum, puke, crumb, lowlife, scum bag, so-and-so, git -- (a person who is deemed to be despicable or contemptible; "only a rotter would do that"; "kill the rat"; "throw the bum out"; "you cowardly little pukes!"; "the British call a contemptible person a `git'")
11:43:12  It's intended as meaning "stupid", and it's often used to mean "stupid".
11:43:17  Those are some nice words there.
11:43:21  You so-and-so.
11:43:26  I cite the infallible wiktionary!
11:43:33  2. (UK, slang, pejorative) A silly, incompetent, stupid, annoying or childish person. 
11:43:44  I've never heard someone say "git" with just the connotation of "stupid" and, I mean, it's our word; sure, that is one of its connotations, but it has many others besides.
11:43:57  Also that has a "2." in front of it and a bunch of other adjectives in the same sentence, come on.
11:44:16  ANYWAY the solution is clearly to destroy git.
11:45:21  Sgeo__: Incidentally, I wouldn't go ahead and write  exitPos[i][j]=infile.read()+4+(layerW[i]+8)*(infile.read()+4);  even though Java does guarantee left-to-right.
11:45:47  I would. Although I wouldn't write that for other reasons.
11:45:54  "It is recommended that code not rely crucially on this specification." (JLS)
11:46:35  Uh, where "this specification" refers only to the details of the evaluation order.
11:46:52  I don't think they disrecommend relying on the whole of the Java Language Specification.
11:46:59  I like the more liberal interpretation.
11:47:03  Me too.
11:47:26 -!- atriq has joined.
11:48:00  Don't entirely understand why it forces the first 40 droids to be of type 0
11:48:33  I mean, why not do just what the map says, and if the map says the first 40 are 0, that's it
11:48:42  Rather than enforcing it in code
11:49:41  ion: You like writing benchmarks, right?
11:50:19  Nothing gives me more pleasure.
11:51:08  Sgeo__: It doesn't seem to me like it would do that. It just sets the types of those to zero that weren't in the map.
11:51:42  Sgeo__: j's still at k (number of droips) after the drop-reading loop, after all; it's just from k .. 39 that get set to 0.
11:52:30  Ah
11:52:32  In other words, it's just initializing the leftover elements of droidType to 0. (Sure, they'd be zero anyway.)
12:03:08  Deewiant: How do I, like, enable IRC logs?
12:03:14  Or does "the Whee" do them by default.
12:03:25  (I sort of skimmed the manual!!)
12:03:34  You! A manual! 
12:04:06  elliott: http://www.weechat.org/files/doc/stable/weechat_user.en.html#logger_plugin
12:06:57  Deewiant: I saw that but it looked complicated. :(
12:08:38  In short I think it's done by default
12:08:44  But you probably want to set logger.file.path and logger.file.mask
12:12:09  "%h/logs/".
12:12:12  I wonder where that is.
12:12:20  Is that just ~/logs?
12:14:40  It's the weechat directory IIRC, ~/.weechat/logs or something
12:14:54  logger.file.path
12:14:56      description: path for WeeChat log files; "%h" at beginning of string is replaced by WeeChat home ("~/.weechat" by default); date specifiers are permitted (see man strftime)
12:15:11  (Source: what I linked to you 11 minutes ago)
12:17:28  Wow, you read that?
12:18:08  I grepped it for %h.
12:18:42  That is cheating.
12:19:00  If you'd told me that it was in logger.file.path I might've just scrolled down to that.
12:20:47  That is *definitely* cheating.

13:40:14  first is a single challenge with multiple maths
13:40:17  A maths challenge is one challenge, many maths

13:46:31  Deewiant: Please be respectful of elliott's disability, Deewiant.
13:46:55  elliott: Arguably if your client responds to /help foo, it's equivalent to that response being written for you on IRC.
13:47:07  It's not a disability! It's a dis...read...ability.
13:47:07  Deewiant: IRC clients aren't people.
13:47:22  elliott: The only difference is that you need to type /help foo instead of "what is ".

16:28:59  yes
16:29:18  and now I see what they meant with "no obvious way to loop"
16:30:01  But it seems to be turing-complete?
16:31:18  apparently
16:33:22  my intuitive approach would be something like "if 0 just print, if 1 replace with (1 followed by (replace 1 with 1 followed by [looping]))
16:33:31  buuuuuut that's kind of an infinite program
16:34:01  disappointingly the 99 bottles of beer program is just a program that decompresses a compressed form of the 99 bottles of beer lyrics
16:34:36  ε₀ bottles of beer
16:35:14  something like 99X99Y98X98Y... preceded by "replace X with 'bottles of beer on the wall' and Y with 'bottles of beer, take one down, pass it around'"

20:04:54  FreeFull: you probably just need to cabal install comonads
20:05:28  oh wait
20:05:56  earlier I thought writing a truth-machine in Slashes would be complicated because there is no way to loop
20:06:12  but I forgot that the substitution loops by default
20:06:17 -!- AnotherTest has quit (Quit: Leaving.).
20:06:19  soooo it's in fact as simple as the thue one
20:06:32  ok, I write a message to that girl first, then the truth-machine
20:07:02  iirc it's still somewhat tricky, because the interpreter eats your program you need to set up a way to duplicate the program in order to loop
20:07:17  hm, is Baldur's Gate worth playing?
20:07:25  not for a program as simple as the truth-machine
20:08:09 -!- atriq has joined.
20:08:37  ah, wait, if the substitution's loop is used, then the program will loop forever *before* anything is printed
20:08:41  that's problematic

20:16:23  Oh, right, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXOpjgYMISw is probably it.
20:20:50  Arc_Koen: hello
20:20:58  hi
20:21:11  the star wars wiki spends lots of text explaining what rank and names the people in that conversation have, but not what they're saying except that it was parodied by family guy
20:21:17  I was gonna ask you how the hell you were able to make a loop or something of the like in slashes
20:21:31  in more polite terms
20:21:44  but then I realized the substitution process itself was a loop
20:22:11   yes, apparently Oerjan can do that
20:22:31  though that doesn't solve it completely because you can't perform output while in the process of substituting
20:22:34  curiously i was thinking about 99bob the other day, and noticed there was one which didn't quite loop
20:22:43  indeed
20:22:52  our spirits must be connected or something
20:23:02  *yesterday, in fact
20:23:05  except there apparently is much jetlag on the spirit subspace
20:23:16  ...that explains so much.
20:23:53  Arc_Koen: i already wrote a Truth-machine in Itflabtijtslwi, which is /// + input, btw
20:24:08  yes I saw that
20:24:16  it looks very long though
20:24:53   ah, wait, if the substitution's loop is used, then the program will loop forever *before* anything is printed <-- yep

20:31:38  Arc_Koen: yes, you quine.  see the explanation under http://esolangs.org/wiki/Slashes#Simpler_counter , although the truth-machine code is probably more streamlined.
20:32:23  basically i later got better at using less obtrusive characters
20:32:45  "Yes, you quine" makes "quine" sound like an insult.
20:32:57  OKAY
20:33:18  fizzie: quine it, you quine
20:33:50  "The original counter loop was based on the mistaken belief that it was impossible to distinguish two copies of program code without scanning through them. But after my morning coffee http://esolangs.org/wiki/%C3%98rjan_Johansen realized that there was a simple way to distinguish them: Copy one of them again to another place."
20:34:21  this sounds like all the "is ben parker the clone, or is it peter parker?" weird stuff from marvel
20:35:39  well that link shows as a blue "I" in the orginal.
20:36:44  oh, sorry
20:36:58  I thought I had solve that copypasting problem
20:37:07  apart from space removal, i think that the truth-machine is fairly close to as short as you get with this method.
20:37:48  btw "I" is too short a word for a random user like me to realize it's a link
20:38:21  Arc_Koen: it was _meant_ to be almost invisible
20:39:33  i have many other edits where you have to look at page history to know it was me.
20:39:35  oh, ok
20:40:11  in particular, i think the overwhelming majority of the Underload page is by me now
20:41:39  well the /// too
20:44:26   Vorpal: Were you thinking of the Enhanced Edition or the original?  <-- actually I was looking at gog.com
20:44:36  fizzie, what about the second instalment?
20:45:09  fizzie, but on gog it is called "Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga"
20:45:54  BGII is best BG
20:46:10  Though I'm definitely getting the enhanced edition the second it comes out
20:48:17  Vorpal: The second one, combined with the Throne of Baal thing, is I think perhaps the better BG, yes.
20:48:38  I'm mhissing a h there.
20:48:47  Bhaal
20:49:08  Yes, it went into my "missing". How curious.
20:50:07  Quite
20:50:53  I did the whole Tutu/EasyTutu thing once, too. That's a thing which inserts BG1 into the BG2 engine, so that you can play through the whole thing using that.
20:51:06  Presumably the Enhanced Edition will be more... enhanced, though.
20:51:19  Yeah, the mod and fix community around the Black Isle games is awesome.
20:51:39  Also, in some sense it's "out" already, since they started the pre-downloads.
20:51:50  The first time I played BGII with some of the fixes and enhancements, it was like a new game.
20:52:12  It probably helped that my computer was 10 years newer than the first time, as well
20:52:45  oerjan: would you happen to know why input is done with "GG...GG"? I guess the G stands for 'get', but /// was kind of poetic with only slashes and backslashes, and adding letters into that kinda spoils it all for me
20:52:54  I'm sort of curious about the iPad version. I used a lot of shortcut keys
20:55:17  Arc_Koen: i think it was pure whimsy, the dialect was added by a user who hasn't been around much, but when i needed input for /// i just ran with it.  it has the advantage it takes single characters, at least, which gives it better input than Thue...
20:55:36  yes
20:55:56  well thue's input/output is too much computer-oriented in my opinion
20:56:11  I mean, thue itself is very simple and abstract
20:56:25  it's main problem is it makes it impossible to avoid code injection.
20:56:27  *its
20:56:29  I can imagine myself interpreting thue with little rocks with symbols painted on it
20:57:13  the most simple way to avoid code injection I can think of it too have the input alphabet be strictly smaller than the alphabet used by the program
20:58:00  s/if too/is to
20:58:34  s/$/\//
20:58:44  that would work too.  another nice thing about GG is it's unlikely to happen by chance in a pure /// program, so the dialect is mostly backwards-compatible.
20:59:34  is it possible to find a sequence of \ and / that isn't valid/can't be useful in a real program?
21:01:15  no, you could always manage to substitute it with something else
21:02:24  ah well, I guess you can start a iftlabiswjee program with /|/GG/ and use for instance |...| as the input sequence
21:02:53  sure.  as long as you don't need to print |'s that aren't from the input.
21:03:17  (that's a general problem with any single-character abbreviations.)
21:03:18  Arc_Koen: *itflabtijtslwi
21:03:46  am I supposed to remember that olsner, or are you offering to make the substitution for me everytime I talk about that language?
21:04:10  you're supposed to remember it, obviously

21:21:56  oh right
21:23:30  "a real-world warp drive could create some fascinating possibilities for space travel" ... oh really?
21:23:47  olsner: shocking
21:24:59  apparently it has recently been made a lot less impossible (in theory anyway), from mass-of-jupiter impossible to 1600 pounds impossible
21:26:19  I see problems with all the hawking radiation
21:28:19  warp drives have hawking radiation?
21:29:39  Warp hawks.
21:29:46  They prey on things in the hyperspace.
21:30:46  what radiation they emit, and how much of it, probably depends a lot on the implementation
21:31:10  You don't "implement" warp hawks, you get "eaten" by them.
21:31:24  there would be some irony in inventing warp drives within the decade but having to spend the next hundred years inventing deflector shields
21:33:00 -!- zzo38 has joined.
21:33:39  Niven's Known Space universe had humans invent the Bussard ramjet (fusion rocket  ooh, scifi where humans don't magically solve every problem put in front of them
21:34:47  fizzie: Lasers and electric/magnetic fields
21:35:50  olsner: They didn't ever manage to invent the warp drive either, they just bought it from aliens.
21:37:33  there was a logical explanation for why humans and other similar races didn't invent warp drive... it only works far from massive bodies
21:38:24  oerjan: FSVO "logical". They *could* have worked out the theory, one supposes, and then gone off a bit to experiment on it.
21:38:35  This just in: your mum holding the development of the warp drive back
21:38:38  my vague recollection is that if you tried it elsewhere your ship just evaporated
21:38:49  *disappeared
21:39:16  and the puppeteers hated it because there was a small chance of this happening in any case :P
21:39:23  I liked Star Smashers of the Galaxy Rangers for taking precisely the opposite approach
21:39:54  oerjan: Something like that, yes. There was a plot in one book where a less than moral scientist was using a quantum black hole to get sharp gravity gradients, to rob ships.
21:39:54  A couple of humans make a warp drive by accident by putting some cheese in a particle accelerator
21:40:16  i think i read the plot summary of that on wikipedia
21:43:09  the outsiders presumably invented warp drive (or what the actual ftl method was) because they were liquid helium creatures that lived far from any star.  although they also prefered slow travel.
21:43:19  oerjan: Banks' Culture has "Displacers" (basically Star Trek teleporters except there's some really minor technicality why they don't count as transmission of matter) which are widely used, even though there's "an approximately one in sixty-one million chance of utter failure resulting in death for the subject."
21:44:06  ah.
21:44:55  Well, maybe not "widely used", since people generally aren't in that much of a hurry to get somewhere, but at least used when appropriate.
21:45:24  I wonder what the risk is of dying during any span of time about the same length as it takes to be transported
21:45:25  i think they work by making a magic shiny ball around you then lobbing you through the 4th dimension
21:45:56  and you have to compare it to the slower alternative, which probably also involves some non-risk-free activity such as space travel
21:46:35  Oh ho, an earlier book says "about once in eighty-three million displacements".
21:47:20  the culture people were pretty long lived though, weren't they.
21:47:30  olsner, otoh the culture is crazy advanced so a shuttle for moving people from point a to point b is pretty safe
21:47:36  I don't think I can be bothered figuring out where those fall in-universe chronologically, but it'd be nice to know whether they were getting better or worse.
21:48:03  fizzie, the books are in chronological order anyway
21:49:48  Phantom_Hoover: Well, that's helpful.
21:49:59  so i guess they're getting worse?
21:50:42  Seems so.
21:51:28  Eighty-three million was from Player of Games; sixty-one from Look to Windward.
21:51:46  iirc excession used the 83 million figure too
21:51:48  Could be just more statistics, later on.
21:52:16  i remember calculating the odds of any one of the sleeper service's displacements going wrong in that one scene

21:59:44  er, right
22:00:29  Did fish and birds die too? If something being transported is not living, will such things still break?
22:00:41  it's unclear but probably
22:01:57  although knowing the culture they would probably be like "ok you saved the galaxy but you could've waited like 10 seconds and saved that poor fish"
22:04:10  How much time do you have to save the galaxy?
22:04:45  more than 10 seconds
22:05:08  i don't really remember how it saved the galaxy though, it might've been more urgent
22:05:32  In that case you should save a fish too if you are sure you have enough time, probably.

2012-11-27:

00:02:28  oerjan: I think you can make up something similar to the quote operator from muriel
00:03:12  for instance, if you use two characters operators, you can make quotes that are not infinite loop like so:
00:04:13  erk, the line started with / and got eaten by the irc client
00:04:21  fancy
00:04:39  /OP/QuotedO.P//.//Some text that contains OP
00:05:07  unfortunately / and \ are only one-character
00:05:17  indeed they are.
00:05:55  but maybe I can work with made-up two-char operators, with the replace-them-with-/-\ thingy part of the thing that's quined
00:09:10  that might work.  but now you need to consider you want to replace them only in _one_ of the quined copies...

00:11:09  I'm not experienced with quining so every three seconds my brain resets and I need to re-understand how quining is done again
00:11:51  (and three seconds is not a lot to write a slashes program!!)
00:12:08  you'd think
00:13:00  actually I'm facing ridiculous problems right now
00:13:26  aha!
00:13:53  for instance "if the only difference between 0 and 1 is that 1 is 1, then I need to do something like GGAGG/1/infinite looping of printing one/A"
00:14:16  "but to actually print 1 in the main loop, I need to have the symbol 1 part of the loop code"
00:14:35  "so the outermost substitution will be an infinite loop"
00:14:57  well I guess that's a stupid issue and I can solve it by replacing "A" with "_A_" and the first "1" by "_1_"
00:16:50  well i did neither of those, anyway.
00:17:33  also slashes is a good example of how our categories are not very "accurate"
00:17:49  for instance it's categorized both as "self-modifying" and "string-rewriting"
00:18:05  ...it is.
00:18:10  but those two categories illustrate the same aspect of the language
00:18:25  no they don't, thue is string-rewriting but not self-modifying.
00:18:42  hmmm
00:18:53  because thue does not identify the string with the running program.
00:19:05  oh, ok
00:24:12  here's where I am so far http://sprunge.us/aVci
00:25:04  thing is I want to quote DATA, but not what follows
00:25:25  hmm I think the easier way to do this is to use substitutes for / and \ in DATA
00:25:36  and then 
00:25:37  hmmm
00:25:41 * Arc_Koen thinking out loud

01:56:00  idea, riffing on what Arc_Koen said about languages where you have independent processors interacting:
01:56:18  riff on me baby oh yeah
01:56:27  language where you can't program any processors, only their connections
01:57:52  admittedly this covers a bunch of simple models such as boolean circuits, but i haven't heard of anything that uses fixed, complex units
01:58:05  anyway sleep now
01:58:07  if you had infinite of each type of unit and you could connect arbitrarily that would be basically equivalent to thinks like puredata, wouldn't it
01:58:38  not familiar with that
01:58:40  probably
01:58:58  there are a lot of general concepts which encompass both practical and esoteric languages

04:09:39  they open it because they want the coin
04:10:53  Yes, they want to pick up the money
04:11:15  They didn't think about how it got there.

05:34:57  I was also playing Bland Chess against my brother today, and I managed to win, and it was pictorial checkmate too.
05:35:40  pictoral?
05:35:43  (He then said that it should be a double win if you manage to win with pictorial checkmate.)
05:36:02  Sgeo__: "Pictorial checkmate" means a position that would be checkmate in FIDE.
05:36:13  Ah
05:36:32  Although in this case it is checkmate in both Bland Chess and in FIDE chess.
05:39:16  In Bland Chess, the bishop is worth less than a pawn.
05:43:25  bland chess?
05:46:06  It is actually a game he invented many years ago, but without playing the game; he just said it once while waiting at a restaurant. The rules are that no diagonal moves are allowed (although knights still move as normal).
05:46:22  Here is a description:  http://www.chessvariants.org/index/msdisplay.php?itemid=MSblandchess
05:47:41  Uh, ... yeah, was about to ask about bishop
05:47:58  Bishops do not move at all in this game.
05:48:07  Is there even any use to them? If you removed the bishops, how often would the game be affected
05:48:19  e.g. how often do the bishops block stuff from occuring
05:48:22  You would have more opportunities to castle.
05:48:52  zzo38: what about berolina pawns in sharp chess?
05:49:07  What's wrong with sharp chess?
05:49:18  Oh, because pawns can't move forward?
05:49:48  yeah
05:49:50  Yes. Well, if it is played with berolina pawns it might work, but I still think it wouldn't work as well.
05:50:36  yeah
05:50:44  every piece except the knight would be color-locked
05:50:58  Yes.
05:51:29  What's a berolina pawn?
05:51:57  Non-capturing diagonal, capture orthogonal.
05:52:32  zzo38: did you compose the problem?
05:52:56  coppro: Yes, although I may have made some mistakes.
05:52:58  I do not believe that you correctly indicated which side of the board is which
05:53:08 -!- nooga_ has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
05:53:17  oh wait
05:53:18  Actually I did.
05:53:21  the bishop could be promoted
05:53:28  oh
05:53:32  The pawn on f7 is about to promote.
05:53:40  ok
05:53:43  so you got it right
05:53:47  in which case the position is impossible
05:54:02  since the bishop on c8 must be the result of a promotion
05:54:10  You are right, it is impossible; but I don't worry about that.
05:54:11  but that would mean that the pawns on the c-file exchanged places
05:54:22  that is generally considered to be a flaw in a chess problem
05:54:44  I know that. However, I don't care.
05:55:08  ok
05:55:17  I think this game is a stalemate
05:55:25  oh wait
05:55:39  yes, I believe lowercase can force a stalement
05:55:42  *stalemate
05:56:06  Uppercase must promote on his turn
05:57:53  The problem is probably broken; I should delete it.
05:58:11  Since it seems no move will help.
05:58:17  regardless of his choice (a knight is ideal since it can deliver checkmate), 1 ... Ra8+ 2. Kxa8 Rxa6 3. Kb8 Ra8+ 4. Kxa8 1/2-1/2
05:59:29  Yes, although like I said nothing will help. But yes I did see that after I wrote the problem, which is why I say I should remove it.
06:00:12  OK, I removed it. However, for historical reasons it is still available as a HTML comment.

08:33:11  That doesn't make a lot of sense to me to include such things among its "primitives". It should be stored in a separate library, perhaps.

14:55:48  kmc: Can I use mosh as a sort of faux-dtach somehow? As in, use its ability to handle dropping connections for dropping my connection for a billion hours and then reconnecting to the same mosh-server.
15:27:29 -!- donmarquis has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
15:37:05  i don't really know about dtach
15:37:35  you can't launch a new mosh-client and attach it to the old mosh-server
15:38:30  That's a shame.
15:38:37  Couldn't mosh-client save its state to disk or something?
15:42:05 -!- Nisstyre has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds).
15:43:16  yes but there would be hell of security consequences
15:43:29  for example you can't ever re-use a cryptographic nonce
15:43:34  loading an old state file would be fatal
15:44:42  anyway i leave a mosh session open from each of my machines and then attach to screen within whichever one i'm currently using
15:45:10  i would use screen multi-attach but it doesn't handle different terminal sizes very well (nor is it clear that there even exists a solution there)
15:45:11  kmc: What's the difference between mosh-client getting disconnected for 8 hours and then reconnecting, and mosh-client saving its state, not being run for 8 hours, and then loading that state?
15:46:03  the difference is that it's much easier for a program to load a stale file from disk than for a program in memory to somehow jump back in time and use an old value of some variable
15:46:25  there is a counter that you must increment on every packet sent, for the security of the block cipher mode
15:46:37  if you use the same value more than once with the same key, you lose
15:47:01  Oh, the problem is that you could resume it twice?
15:47:11  yeah
15:47:22  or just end up with two state files somehow and pick the wrong one
15:47:36  we could build safeguards against this, but that's more stuff that we can screw up
15:47:45  first rule of mosh is to keep the security story very simple
15:47:47  kmc: I heard keithw wanted to do public key things with a dedicated moshd.
15:47:57  yeah... i don't think he really wants to
15:48:09  that would be a serious departure from the existing design principles, anyway

16:22:47  kmc: Why does mosh not do prediction by default?
16:22:48  Or does it. I forget.
16:24:20  It does.
16:24:40  it does, as long as your lag exceeds a certain amount
16:25:14  with low latency, the prediction is basically just visual glitching and isn't actually useful
16:25:36  but you can enable that anyway with --predict=always
16:26:15  and if you want really aggressive prediction you can use --predict=experimental
16:26:51  elliott, did you start the fortress yet?
16:26:59  atriq: No. Should I?
16:27:15  that disables the usual heuristic where mosh will only display predictions if a prediction has been confirmed correct since the last newline or other control character
16:27:15  kmc: My lag is just enough that typing sometimes feels a little wonky. :(
16:27:24  Yes
16:27:24  (It's still really tiny though.)
16:27:26  so --predict=experimental will e.g. predictively echo your password
16:27:33  Ew.
16:27:44  also will predictively echo vim commands into your document
16:27:48  Ew.
16:28:42  (How is that a good thing?)
16:28:51  I don’t think anyone said it’s a good thing.
16:29:32  It's only a bad thing if you're ashamed of your password.
16:29:39  Well, someone must.
16:29:42 * shachaf has nothing to hide.
16:29:44  Since it is called "experimental".
16:35:52 -!- nooodl_ has joined.
16:41:29  well plenty of people asked for this feature
16:41:58  if your connection is really laggy, waiting for that first echo confirmation is annoying
16:42:03  it does limit the usefulness of prediction
16:42:49  and in many use cases the echoing of stuff that you don't really want echoed is not a big deal
16:43:11  even passwords
16:43:26  most of the time you are not going to have someone looking over your shoulder at momentarily visible characters in your password
16:43:35  you can always type slowly :)
16:43:52  mobile phones tend to echo the last character of the password
16:46:45  If the connection is really laggy, they'll be more than momentarily visible.
16:47:16  yeah
16:47:23  however maybe you only rarely type a password over mosh anyway
16:47:42  the set of circumstances where your connection is laggy might have very small overlap with the set of circumstances where you need to type your password
16:48:06  i mean obviously you should never type your password on a remote host, you should use kerberos delegation shit

17:14:45  hm
17:14:51  i do hate being the jerk with a secret
17:14:58  i will tell you in one hour if you do not guess by then
17:15:22  Does it help if I used WeeChat yesterday, too, and hence have been using both it and mosh in combination for more than an hour already? (Uh, I assume it's related to that.)
17:15:29  Wow, does mosh predict text scrolling or something?
17:15:43  It's getting it all wrong when my WeeChat input line gets too long and I page back through it.
17:16:01  yeah local scrolling doesn't work with mosh
17:16:14  but the scrolling built into the remote program should work fine
17:16:30  It seems to predict the cursor movement.
17:16:31  shachaf: wait, can you even play the game in weechat?
17:16:43  it should only predict left-right cursor movement
17:16:51  Right.
17:16:56  and only if your characters have been echoed since the last control code
17:16:58  But it predicts it wrongly, because my line scrolls when I move it.
17:17:02  ah
17:17:15  WeeChat seems to scroll left before you reach the left edge.

20:32:02  it's lufgninaem, actually.
20:32:08  or wait
20:32:14  Like, c * the furthest distance you can go on the Earth = a pretty long time!!
20:32:15  It's 140 µs to the place where this irssi is, that's more acceptable.
20:32:15  > 2^16
20:32:17    65536
20:32:20  yep
20:32:22 * Fiora likes Grace Hopper's nanosecond measurement
20:32:35  a foot is about one light-nanosecond.
20:32:40  I like this song name. “Baby’s First Coffin”
20:32:53  so like each time my cpu ticks light moves a couple inches
20:32:57  oerjan: For some reason I parsed it as 6-swap(55,3)-6 instead of reverse(65536). Curious.
20:33:34  "c * the furthest distance you can go on the Earth" is a time?

20:33:54  interesting!
20:34:48  elliott: well i fixed the plural automata thing
20:34:55 * oerjan spots another error
20:34:57  Discounting shortcuts, "(circumference of earth/2) / c" says 66.8 milliseconds in W|A.
20:35:17  oerjan: well i am thinking of more fundamental messes here.
20:35:36  fizzie: right. so your worst-case round trip is 133.6 ms
20:35:38  that's awful slow!!
20:36:36  elliott: It drops to about 85 ms if you take the shortcut, but that's nothing to write home about either.
20:36:39  elliott: four wrong apostrophes is a fundamental mess!  also is inputted an acceptable participle form?
20:37:17  Also, "(diameter of earth) / c" interpreted c as the root mean square charge radius of a charm quark, and output "insufficient data available".
20:37:29  That's really the best interpretation.
20:37:41  ok that's apparently allowed.
20:38:27  fizzie: 85 ms is still an awful long time. :(
20:38:29  http://www.forbes.com/sites/brucedorminey/2012/04/30/neutrinos-to-give-high-frequency-traders-the-millisecond-edge/   sending data through the earth's core reminds me of this
20:40:13  fizzie: "diameter of earth / speed of light"?
20:40:27  fizzie: can you stop working on useless speech recognition and go find hyperspace
20:40:30  nooodl_: Sure, that works. But it interpreted "c" as speed of light when it was circumference.
20:40:57  Hyperspace for the pings.
20:40:57  W|A works in mysterious ways
20:41:05  Forget about stars, we're more interested in our pings.
20:41:18  Fiora: i suspect there will be a lot of bandwidth contention, given you cannot aim neutrinos very well and you need to send an enormous amount to catch one
20:42:33  Yeah, it sounds really really hard
20:42:50  you'd need a crazy huge neutrino detector and a massive neutrino beam
20:43:17  how do you even aim neutrinos?  I guess you could generate them with a linear accelerator pointed down, and pulse the electromagnets to set 0s or 1s
20:43:19  wait... perhaps this explains why no aliens do interstellar travel, after inventing a cyberspace they cannot stand high pings back home!
20:43:26  but that'd be so few neutrinos
20:43:30  you'd really want, like, a nuclear reactor, right?
20:43:32  nicely solves the fermi paradox
20:43:33  but you really can't aim that
20:45:02  oerjan: Even ping times to the moon would become unsettling.
20:45:06  Fiora: i assume the recent lhc experiments aimed at least somewhat toward the italian detector
20:45:08  And forget about Mars!
20:45:18  Yeah, but like, didn't they receive neutrinos for /days/ just to get a few?
20:45:34  oerjan: a cyberspace
20:45:34  Fiora: probably
20:45:48  Fiora: possibly some interesting crypto concerns there
20:45:59  someone else could intercept your neutrinos?
20:46:17  it sounds hard, since they'd need an equally insanely huge detector 
20:46:19  elliott: that _was_ the term scifi used before internet became widespread, wasn't it?
20:46:36  I thought you meant hyperspace
20:47:10  It also turns out if you use a regular optical fiber, those have such sluggish light it's going to be like 200 ms for the full round-trip around the planet.
20:47:39  would optical fibers work with a vaccuum on the inside?
20:48:20  Fiora: I think generally you'd need to have the material with the higher refractive index on the inside. But I'm certainly no expert.
20:48:40  oh.... for total internal reflection...
20:48:44  If you got really reflective inner surface of the cladding, then, sure.
20:49:16   it sounds hard, since they'd need an equally insanely huge detector <-- yes but it could be hidden many kilometers away unless you can aim much better than now
20:49:31  "If the refractive index is lower on the other side of the boundary"   ... hmm
20:49:58  Then again, single-mode fiber is... kinda weird.

20:52:14  Hey, if I ask W|A about "distance from X to Y", the "direct travel times" table, in addition to "aircraft" and "sound", has "light in fiber" and "light in vacuum".
20:52:22  (Physics is NOT my strong point)

21:05:07  elliott: hah i understood most of it without google >:)
21:05:26  oerjan: I think it was about documentary films of famous canals.
21:05:33  fizzie: O KAY
21:08:14  yeah it's a fun fact that light travels much slower in fiber than in air
21:08:22 -!- Gresia96 has quit.
21:08:22  atriq: I probably wouldn't go to a meetup or anything, but it's just like something I think about while donating money to hussie's shirt fund
21:08:28  this is why some high frequency finance firms are starting to use microwave links
21:08:40  we wanted to float a shiny blimp over new jersey and bounce lasers off of it
21:08:42  kmc: is there a reason you can't make faster fiber?  like with lower-index materials
21:08:46  Fiora, fair enough
21:08:50  i don't know
21:08:56  hm by the "italiana" Gresia96 supposedly was a girl.  in case anyone cares.
21:09:00  the index has to be high enough to support total internal reflection
21:09:02  kmc: Come on, fix the game. :(
21:09:05  I was looking around and couldn't find any reasons why... but it must be a good reason...
21:09:36  oerjan: you mean all we had to do to improve this channel's ridiculous gender imbalance was pirate some movies?!
21:09:39  i think there is probably a relationship between IoR and minimum bend radius
21:09:41  but don't know
21:09:43  maybe materials science just isn't fancy enough yet?
21:09:43  elliott: shocking
21:09:56  elliott: well that and learn italian
21:10:06  i will ask my friend who knows optics and stuff
21:10:11  oerjan: google translate solves all
21:10:24  Hey, whatever happened to tiffany?
21:11:21  I've always wanted to use that Twibright Ronja for something, but it'd kind of need places to point it at.
21:11:38  atriq: did she make a brainfuck derivative
21:11:40  if so I have a suspect
21:11:56  Is it a suspect with a tumblr?
21:12:24  it's a suspect with a ghostly vacuum
21:12:39  i don't know if he has a tumblr
21:13:06  http://phantom-hoover.tumblr.com/
21:13:24  fancy
21:13:44  (it's slightly entirely written by me)
21:14:20  oh.
21:14:55 * oerjan somehow hasn't visited tumblr enough to know it was a blog site
21:15:06  oerjan: yes, but it would be painfully useless if it only generated a copy of the input and output streams
21:15:06  Arc_Koen: You have 1 new message. '/msg lambdabot @messages' to read it.
21:16:02  Ocaml sounds like a bunch of C++ programmers trying to "fix" haskel
21:16:02  and also I'd have to find a way to copy a stream and I haven't
21:16:03  l
21:16:25  i thought ocaml was older than haskell.
21:16:40  It may well be
21:16:40  I'd link mine but I think it's 1% programming and 95% homestuck, magical girls, and anime
21:16:49  Message me
21:16:54  That is exactly what I need to follow
21:17:09  What's the 4%? 
21:17:13  atriq: we shall remember that insult
21:17:14  Arc_Koen: taking copies of lazy lists works perfectly in haskell *cough*
21:17:19  science and tumblr memes probably?
21:17:39  hm, haskell 1.0 was '90, ocaml '96.  eh
21:17:53  oerjan: yes, but that basically means you can't have anything inputted from stdin or outputted to stdout
21:18:10  I mean, I'd need to be able to clone the whole computer for that
21:18:11  or something
21:18:13  Bike: ocaml is based on caml, which may be older, and which was itself an ml variant...
21:18:33  yeah, but with the c++ comment i assumed atriq meant the object stuff.  somehow
21:18:44  caml was invented primarily for writing coq
21:18:51  they decided that sticking to Standard ML would be too limiting
21:19:23  there's a document about the history of ocaml but i can't be arsed to find it
21:19:53  it is Arc_Koen's national duty to do so
21:20:22  sure, let me get my bike and I'll ask the guys at the university
21:20:25  anyway atriq is wrong, there isn't much C++ influence in ocaml and it's certainly not an attempt to 'fix' Haskell
21:20:40  kmc, I was joking
21:20:47  YOU WERE??
21:20:52  if anything it's the other way, ocaml sticks much closer to this old school of algebraic static typed languages, haskell is crazy and experimental
21:21:03  Just from what I've heard, OCaml seems to have the worst parts of Haskell and the worst parts of C++
21:21:06  also nobody actually uses the OOP support in ocaml
21:21:10  well you are wrong
21:21:13  Arc_Koen: haskell has lazy I/O specifically for allowing lazy lists to come from/go to ordinary streams
21:21:26  i can name lots of the worst parts of haskell that didn't make it to ocaml ;P
21:21:31  and of C++
21:21:36  I'm fairly sure I'm wrong, having never learnt OCaml or C++
21:21:43  oerjan: Speaking of girls, does the channel have any confirmed regular ones? I was wondering about this few years back, couldn't think of any, and it's kind of strange that the gender distribution is more skewed than most things I can think of.
21:21:47  glad you felt a need to weigh in on the issue
21:21:49  what exactly is a lazy list btw? the type "list" in ocaml corresponds to lifo only
21:21:54  haha "confirmed girls"
21:22:14  being a woman on the internet is like being gay irl, people assume by default that you aren't and you have to "come out"
21:22:21  have to be wary of those genderflipping types, donchaknow
21:22:24  it's pretty sad
21:22:56  Arc_Koen: it's a list where you only evaluate as much of it as you actually use
21:23:11  It'd be funny if the channel turned out to have roughly the same gender ratio as the world
21:23:27  > [1..] -- this list is infinite, but gets cut off and what's not used is never evaluated
21:23:27  kmc: Yeah, I suspect there's more people that are gay or bi than there are women here.
21:23:28    [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28...
21:23:33  yeah
21:23:35  Which is... Weird.
21:23:36  oerjan: oh, so it's a list that's lazy
21:23:41  that's programming for you :(
21:23:42  atriq: It'd be funny if the channel turned out to be the world.
21:23:43  fizzie: I think Fiora?
21:23:46  in other news javascriptmvc.com
21:23:46  There were a few more in the past.
21:23:48  er 
21:23:56  in other news javascriptmvc.com says they will fix the language on their website in the next two weeks
21:23:57  Indeed, I do know there's multiple gay or bi men here.
21:24:25  fizzie: I'm not sure that'd be so funny if there were no girls in the worl
21:24:40  What the heck is javascrtipmvc.com, and why should I care…
21:24:42  Arc_Koen: But at least the gender ratio would be unskewed by definition.
21:25:28  kmc: will fix it to "our users are software rockstars and ninjas of EXACTLY ONE OF TWO GENDERS AND SEXES"?
21:25:32  just some people who advertise that their product is for "software craftsmen"
21:25:35  copumpkin: yeah probably
21:25:37  baby steps
21:25:44  fizzie: anyway I don't think it is really surprising that this channel is so skewed gender-wise
21:26:01  elliott: I think it's sad that it's not surprising, so there!
21:26:03  it is a tiny obscure arcane corner of the intersection of programming and IRC, both of which have terrible gender stats to start with
21:26:09  copumpkin: me too
21:26:14  but that doesn't make it surprising
21:26:23  I think it's cold and I haven't got enough clothes on
21:26:33  Fiora: yeah she says "there is a critical angle of incidence (measured between the incoming ray and the line normal to the surface) above which total internal reflection can occur. this angle becomes larger if n_cable/n_air becomes smaller.  so if the light has to be traveling nearly parallel to the cable to avoid leakage, you can't bend it much"
21:26:48  Software craftshumans. ANTI-ALIEN BIGOTS.
21:27:08 * copumpkin sighs
21:27:14  yeah i'm not going to go after them for failing to include every possible group
21:27:20  they should probably not exclude over 50% of the world population
21:27:36  elliott: Just being skewed isn't surprising, but I'm still somewhat surprised about the degree of it. I mean, it doesn't really seem to be, say, the average of programming and IRC.
21:27:37  it would be better to use terms that don't refer to irrelevant personal details at all
21:27:44  i wonder if the earth's surface is nearly parallel enough.  (probably not...)
21:27:45  but baby steps
21:28:06  fizzie: well it is an obscure channel about an obscure part of programming
21:28:10  so you'd expect some degree of amplification
21:28:30  like you would expect a higher degree of nerdy timewasters in here than your average programming IRC channel also
21:28:52  Gregor: not helpful
21:29:41  elliott: But since it's generally agreed among the world's population that this is the objectively best place (right?), that should compensate for it.
21:29:49  > nubBy (((>1).).gcd) [2..] -- ye olde infinite list of primes

21:29:58  fizzie: there was that best place 2004 award
21:32:38  kmc: ahhhh.  so you could have a cable that had a better index, but it'd be even more sensitive to bending or so forth?
21:32:44  and they decide to make some tradeoff there?
21:32:49  yeah i guess
21:33:30  just make the cable so wide the light never touches the walls.  problem solved.
21:33:50  i don't know how much it's motivated by that vs. availability of materials
21:33:54  perhaps the universe is just a really big fiber optic cable
21:34:22  WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA DUDE

21:40:01  like why this world has this blue tint
21:40:17  i remember trying to read one of charles stross' 20-minutes-into-the-future novels
21:40:18  There's that one piece of scifi where there's a faster-than-light (IIRC) communications band, and it behaves really strangely, but it turns out the problem is humanity hasn't bought the proper service to access it.
21:40:20  yeah copying the red part was harder, somehow
21:40:23  Or something like that, anyway.
21:40:41  the gratuitous phonetic edinburgh accents were just too unbearable
21:40:59  fizzie: was that fine structure?  i think i remember something like that
21:41:10  fizzie: That's how Fine Structure starts.
21:41:11  Bike: It was probably that.
21:41:21  fizzie: (except it isn't really that in the end, but)
21:41:26  elliott: Yeah, I never got too far in it.
21:41:26  elliott, wait
21:41:31  i thought you never got that far either
21:41:32  Phantom_Hoover: yes I finished it.
21:41:36  ???
21:41:38  that's literally in the second chapter dude
21:41:43  you could've told me man!
21:41:51  no i mean to find out that it wasn't really that
21:41:54  you kinda spoiled the payoff of the first chapter
21:42:01  it's actually the second chapter
21:42:04  whatever
21:42:12  the first chapter is unbelievable scenes, the mindfuck one
21:42:35  tswett: is that an acronym to the effect of acronyms being incomprehensible?
21:42:41  i skipped the first chapter because it sounded like someone on a mxiture of acid and speed watching a music visualizer
21:42:58  there is only one computable set of axioms describing fine structure spoilers
21:43:04  !
21:43:05  spaceed
21:43:05  oerjan, it's for 'there is no computable set of axioms in first order logic that uniquely describes the natural numbers"
21:43:22  kmc: you should go back and not skip it and then read the rest of it too
21:43:26  ok
21:43:27  kmc, it actually makes sense later!
21:43:29  will do cap'n
21:43:29  kmc: made me wonder how multiple time dimensions would work, though
21:43:30  i'm sure
21:43:40  (the first chapter makes no sense but is also sort of important for understanding ~the ending~)
21:43:41  Bike: acid will do that too
21:43:43  ok
21:43:45  sorry for spoiling the punchline tho
21:43:48  fine structure does have a completely ridiculous startup lag though
21:44:00  there are what, 5 chapters of completely disjoint narratives?
21:44:17  Phantom_Hoover: fine structure is like a collection of short stories that someone made a fanfiction crossover sequel to
21:44:20  except the sequel is actually good
21:44:23  kmc: obviously what i need to do is go trippin while surrounding myself in textbooks.  eventually i will have covered my walls with E8 models and came up with a GUT
21:44:40  elliott, i know that! but it's formatted like a book so it's confusing until you realise that
21:45:33  yes
21:46:12  if anyone else hasn't read fine structure please do so, it is important, thanks

23:11:57  hi
23:16:35 -!- RocketJSquirrel has changed nick to Gregor.
23:29:23  Someone at tech club was telling me parameterized queries are not perfect at preventing SQL Injection
23:30:48  I’m a bit skeptical about that, but interested of hearing the details.
23:32:20  Um, he gave me an example SQL injection
23:32:38  I'm pretty sure he's wrong, but figured I'd ask here
23:32:52  well what is the example
23:33:20  1' OR 1=1--'
23:33:33  Into what query
23:33:36  Parameterized queries will handle that fine.
23:33:49  Didn't specify a query in particular
23:33:56  If parametrized queries don't protect you from SQL injection, the implementation is broken.
23:34:20  I don't see anything special about that injection. It's pretty much the one you try first if you think the system supports --comments
23:34:26  Lumpio-, yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Maybe he thought when I said "parameterized query" that I meant something else
23:35:02  I do know of attacks where if you're filtering and blacklisting ' you can work around that, maybe he was thinking of that? (Bad example to show me though)
23:35:13  i think this person just doesn't understand
23:35:16  what they are talking about
23:35:26  Why would anybody "filter and blacklist" things
23:35:46  lumpio: PHP
23:35:49  probably they think parameterised query = "... WHERE foo='$a'"
23:35:52  because you put parameters in??
23:36:02  Hahah *kills self*
23:36:03  Incompetence. I might have stated something about SQL injections being preventable, and he said SQL injections will never go away
23:36:16  If he said "because programmers are stupid" I would have been inclined to agree.
23:37:18  But he seems to think it's a sort of arms race, better defenses against SQL injection and then more sophisticated SQL injection attacks
23:38:03  Yeah, that's stupid.
23:38:11  ion: Good point
23:38:14  I'd blacklist PHP any day
23:38:15  SQL injections are 100% preventable.
23:38:42  ...assuming competent people
23:39:08  Naw. If it gets to the point where you're taking advantage of, say, bugs in the SQL parser, rather than in the query generation, then that's not SQL injection anymore.
23:39:30  ...assuming people use parameters in the first place
23:39:35  That implies competence.
23:40:00  Well if you're going that far, then we can just say all of this is only possible if people are competent enough to build computers.

23:53:05  then i'd start it!
23:53:09  ittodfji sounds like a relative of itflabtijtslwi
23:53:12  don't you love dwarf fortress
23:53:34  remember how I was learning dwarf fortress but i gave up for reasons nobody agreed with
23:54:07  something about getting started being slow
23:54:43  yeah but if you play a succession for then you don't need to start a fort
23:54:54  monqy: you know how DF adventure mode was amazing
23:55:01  yeah
23:55:23  also i dont know how to play df.....
23:55:25  monqy: fortress mode is like that x100 except it's not awful to control 
23:55:33  x100 because you have 100 dwarves playing!
23:55:48  i dont even remember the things i forgot about it!
23:56:16  that's ok
23:56:20  it can be a learning experience!
23:56:30  it's kind of hard to kill an established fort anyway
23:56:34  they run basically handsfree after a while
23:56:34  uh
23:56:41  (FSVO)
23:56:44  (as long as nothing bad happens)
23:57:06  where 'bad' can easily mean 'the death of 3 dorfs'
23:57:57  Phantom_Hoover: OK tell me how to get DFHack... doing things.
23:58:09  Like if I install DF and get DFHack how do I run DF-with-DFHack-stuff.
23:59:07  uh
23:59:44  the 'even an idiot could do it!' way is using ccmake and setting a couple of compilation parameters

2012-11-28:

00:00:08  i am an idiot so i did it that way
00:00:42  the build instructions that come with it should be enough
00:01:12  dfhack itself is just a wrapper executable; you run it from a terminal, it launches df and gives you a command line

00:12:15  wow
00:12:35  dfhack has a command to instantly double the population of cats
00:12:46  watching large-scale kitten dynamics is quite fascinating
00:13:07  Phantom_Hoover: Q: if we use DFHack on this thing how will you be able to stop yourself cheating.
00:13:13  You have to earn your cats, man.
00:13:55  it's a legitimate point
00:13:57 -!- Gregor has set topic: Large-scale kitten dynamics | http://codu.org/logs/_esoteric/.
00:14:22  i think i can stop myself using the big ones, like prospect all or reveal
00:14:42  but there are some lesser ways of cutting corners that are kind of fuzzy
00:16:33  didn't you use prospecting on that other fort we had
00:17:45  yeah
00:17:57  how can I trust you Phantom_Hoover...
00:18:01  but since then i've become more patient!
00:18:09  also i talked you into it, it was your fault too!
00:18:15  man
00:18:24  what if you ran dfhack by doing ./dfhack & disown and closing the terminal so you can't use the console
00:18:29  would you be able to restrain yourself???
00:18:50  no because dgvx is too damn useful

00:21:00  vein digging sounds somewhat unpleasant
00:21:29  monqy unfortunately has a survival rate of 0%
00:22:42  monqy died as he lived, in a pile of dead kittens and vomit

03:01:06  hey, just wondering... do people talk about esoteric languages here?
03:01:18  Rarely.
03:01:46  In principle X-D
03:02:02  MiJyn: hahahahahahhaahahahahahaha
03:02:05  haahah
03:02:26  ha ha ha ha hah hah ahhaha ha
03:04:43  hello MiJyn 
03:04:49  shachaf: it's actually pretty hard to draw the line between defensive coding and cargo cult coding, sometimes
03:04:54  at least without knowing the mental state of the author
03:05:12  kmc: For the Django thing?
03:05:18  that's an example, yeah
03:05:21  MiJyn: That is the intent.
03:05:43  MiJyn: I believe elliott's "laughs" were actually programs or parts of a program in some esoteric language
03:05:43  in theory, if os.urandom() completely fails you, then hashing in the email address gives you a little more entropy
03:05:54  no i was laughing
03:06:00  but it's not worth much at all
03:06:14  because an attacker who is trying to forge a signup knows what the email address is
03:06:35  i think it's more like OpenSSL tossing the PID into the entropy pool
03:06:46  enough to obscure when the other parts are broken (Debian) but not enough to actually protect anything

03:41:55  hey
03:42:05  if someone didn't make a language like that...
03:42:12  would be fun to make something like an "ook" variant :P
03:42:29  you know, like ha hah would be +, hah ha would be -, etc.. xD

03:43:40  no i was just laughing
03:43:42 -!- elliott has left.
03:43:52  let's all laugh at elliott
03:43:58  lol
03:44:28  haha elliott what a lol
03:44:43  i made a language
03:44:50  where "haha elliott what a lol" is a program
03:45:00  that outputs a joke of which elliott is the butt
03:45:12  i'll whisper you the URL to the interpreter
03:45:18  it's the best joke
03:47:34  lol
03:48:15  I'm actually halfway serious... I'm trying to write a full BF compiler with support for as many dialects as possible (currently supports BF, Ook, Blub, Pbrain, and Brainlove), and it would be fun to make one for it :P
03:48:53  i have it on good authority that snipers are in place here to intercept talk of new brainfuck dialects.
03:49:29  lol
03:49:41  amazing how many BF dialects there are :P
03:50:01  it's like as if anyone who makes an esoteric language HAS to make a BF dialect :P
03:50:09  that's because all you have to do is come up with eight symbols that map to bf's.
03:50:54  yeah, no thinking envolved
03:53:31  still fun to make a compiler though :P
03:53:49  it's a corollary of wadler's law
03:53:53  people are obsessed with concrete syntax
03:54:08  they'd much rather invent new concrete syntax for an existing language than come up with actually novel semantics
03:54:20  it's the same with perl/python/php/ruby/javascript/lua/...
03:54:41  really? I think that it's just that people aren't creative enough to figure out new languages
03:55:01  so instead they just write meta-programming languages that compile to others
03:55:07  I guess I'm guilty of that :/
03:55:40  i'm not sure "metaprogramming" means what you just used it as
03:56:15  sorry, wrong word :(
03:56:32  whether a language compiles to another language is not a property of the language but of the compiler
03:57:17  I think you know what I mean though (something like groovy or scheme)
03:57:30  i don't, no
03:57:40  you just named two random languages for all i can tell
03:57:45  can't say I do, since none of the first implementations of any of the languages kmc listed to any with similar semantics, far as I know
03:57:53  *compiled to any
03:58:13  have you ever heard of "cat"
03:58:22  kmc, they are both based on Java
03:58:26  what?
03:58:27  no
03:58:31  Cats are nice.  I like cats.
03:58:32  both are just interfaces to java
03:58:32  scheme has nothing to do with java
03:58:42  interfaces, hahaha.
03:58:48  groovy is typically implemented by compiling to JVM
03:58:53  but you can also compile python, ruby, or javascript to JVM
03:58:54  UGH, I CANT TYPE TODAY!
03:59:08  it's not a property of the language
03:59:20  and JVM != Java
03:59:22  so basically
03:59:25  what you are saying makes no sense
03:59:26  yeah, I can't remember the name of that S language (which is apparently quite popular), and "compiles" to Java
03:59:32  kmc: Any VM you compile Java to will be a JVM.
03:59:33  they don't compile to java
03:59:33  qed
03:59:36  doesn't matter, the point is what it compiles to doesn't matter
03:59:43  kmc, oh really? I thought they did
03:59:54  you can make a language vastly different from Java and compile it to the same virtual machine
03:59:56  also i don't understand why people identify languages and implementations so strongly, it's so weird.  it's not like there aren't a billion implementations of popular languages like C
04:00:13  D and Haskell are very different languages and yet we compile them both to this virtual machine called x86 processor
04:00:14  Sgeo__: be sure to tell MiJyn about "clojure" sometime
04:00:26  monqy: actually i'm not sure Sgeo__ has heard of clojure
04:00:46  that won't stop him from talking about it
04:01:14  Bike, I think C was not the best example... it seems like as if each popular language is based on C
04:01:26  how the hell do you figure that
04:01:40  ?
04:01:43  other than, again, using lots of syntactic things like {}.
04:01:47  monqy: What's "clojure"?
04:01:58  ask Sgeo__
04:02:11  monqy: I want it in your own words!
04:02:17  "ask Sgeo__"
04:02:27  Thanks.
04:02:46  Bike, yeah, syntax is based onC
04:02:48  *on c
04:03:01  syntax is the least interesting part of a language design
04:03:03  yes but the point is, who cares about that
04:03:14  yet it's the part most people fixate on
04:03:25  other than those poor people who embroil themselves in arguments about python tabulation and such, i guess
04:03:26  it's easy to have opinions about syntax and they can't be "right" or "wrong"
04:03:43  it's hard to have opinions about semantics because then you have to understand, like, math and computer science and stuff
04:03:54  and you might say something factually incorrect
04:04:02  gosh, that sounds hard
04:04:02  as designers of popular languages tend to do on a regular basis
04:20:33  i'm not bitter at all
04:20:48  it shows
04:21:09  i'm glad
04:21:42  seriously though, rants aside, being a programmer is really really great
04:22:04  kmc is just trying to run through an entire lifetime's supply of bitterness in a few years.
04:22:19  i've tried that, it doesn't really work out well
04:22:22  and then i'll die :(
04:27:11  @kmc, don't worry, you have a couple lifetime's supply of bitterness :P

04:44:30 -!- jfischoff has quit (Quit: jfischoff).
04:44:44  ah
04:44:53  you can set the TZ environment variable
04:45:02  oh i guess in retrospect that is kind of obvious
04:45:07  TZ=Europe/Moscow date
04:45:18  is there a "sanctioned" way to set that globally for an account
04:46:06  kmc: by the way I blame you for the fact that I had to come up with "mosh solidity -- dtach -A ~/.irssi/socket irssi"
04:47:10  wuh
04:47:41  elliott: typically just put it in ~/.bash_profile
04:48:06  export TZ=America/Jerkcity
04:48:07  mmm
04:48:19  does that work if I am e.g. executing a command with mosh though!! it won't run that will it
04:48:28  no it will run .bashrc instead
04:48:43  my .bash_profile is the one line "source ~/.bashrc"
04:48:48  and then i put all the real meaty business in ~/.bashrc
04:49:02  ^---- pro tip
04:49:41  why would it run .bashrc anyway
04:51:15  well mosh uses ssh to launch a mosh-server
04:51:29  and ssh invokes a shell on the remote host to parse the command line
04:51:59  you can see this with e.g. ssh foo 'echo $HOSTNAME'
04:52:12  so mosh-server inherits the environment from that interactive, non-login shell
04:52:32  mmm
04:52:34  fair enough then
04:52:38  The remote shell is interactive?
04:53:28  think so
04:53:35  kmc: looks like debian's default ~/.profile just runs ~/.bashrc too
04:53:38  more or less
04:53:42  hmm no
04:54:00  ssh localhost 'echo $-' # does not show 'i'
04:54:24  # If not running interactively, don't do anything
04:54:25  [ -z "$PS1" ] && return
04:54:25  somehow it does read ~/.bashrc though
04:54:35  so mosh will not read my bashrc as-is?
04:54:37  because of that
04:54:38  all confusing
04:54:40  maybe
04:54:48  just try it \o/

15:27:56    1114112
15:28:17  but i thought ISO 10646 spec'd a 32-bit codepoint space
15:28:24  and there's a corresponding variant of UTF-8
15:28:48  Hmm, I didn't hear about that.
15:29:38  fizzie: I bet *you* know about irssi theming.
15:29:58  kmc: UCS is restricted to Unicode size now I think?
15:30:00  Along with UTF.
15:32:21  maybe so
15:32:43  fizzie: So about that irssi theming??
15:32:53  https://blogs.oracle.com/ksplice/entry/the_1st_international_longest_tweet
15:33:12  fizzie: Alternatively irssi logging. Is there a way to log ANSI colour codes without having it, like, actually log the ANSI colour codes in my theme?
15:35:41  I've dabbled a very small bit with the theming.
15:36:15  fizzie: Do you know how I would, say, change the formatting of the timestamps when it replays the awaylog?
15:36:43  My normal timestamps are greyed out and have a space between them and the  but in the awaylog they're normally-coloured and bashed right up against the nick, it is not very nice.
15:36:49  And irssi themes seem to be completely undocumented.
15:37:31  It seems to be rather crummy, really. Most of it is in the format strings that you can see with /format but there's also the templates ("abstract"s) used in those that are only in the theme files.
15:38:17  Something about ad-hoc.
15:39:15  As a guess I think changing the "timestamp" abstract style should affect all timestamps as long as all /formats actually use it.
15:39:38  But it's all undocumented, that's also true.
15:40:14  fizzie: Well what I have formats = { "fe-common/core" = { timestamp = "%K{timestamp $Z} %n"; }; };is:
15:40:17  Er.
15:40:18  Rearrange that sentence.
15:40:27  It seems to work for everything but the awaylog.
15:40:53  Well, there's also /set log_timestamp.
15:41:04  It's a setting, not a format.
15:41:09  (Of course.)
15:41:37  fizzie: Yeees, but if I set that won't it affect my Actual Logs too? This is just the awaylog thing that irssi keeps for when I'm away and replays automatically.
15:41:53  I think putting formatting codes in that would make me feel really silly. And then make me ask that logging question again.
15:42:15  It will, but if they both use the same thing and the replay is just a cat-file-on-screen...
15:42:59  fizzie: Is that actually a thing?
15:43:01  I really hope it isn't.
15:43:13  I don't use the awaylog, I don't really know.
15:43:16  I mean, people who keep the default "ANSI colours in logs" setting off don't get a completely unthemed awaylog, surely.
15:44:07  There's awaylog_colors, awaylog_file and awaylog_level.
15:44:28  It could well be using the logging framewurk even if it's slightly different.

16:33:31  I do because constants are faster than variables and the difference is measurable
16:33:35  But
16:33:46  It's equivalent to everything else I do, it's just preallocated
16:33:52  mmmmm okay
16:33:59  is it fairly-positioned and sized though
16:34:00  as in
16:34:05  not randomly including some negatives just because fungot does
16:34:06  elliott: no. they overlap, but aren't really fatal... it's as obscene as " weird thing happened, i'm going to dia and i should say
16:34:35  IIRC it starts at -16,-16,-4 or something and extends 128,512,16 or something
16:34:46  Deewiant: :(
16:34:54  How about -128,-512,-16 to 128,512,16?
16:35:06  I don't want it to be too huge :-P
16:35:10  Come on.
16:35:19  I'll write a funge benchmark that specifically goes just outside your bounds.
16:35:20  The point is to fit most source code in it, plus a bit of padding
16:35:23  Go ahead
16:35:28  I'll beat cfunge handily
16:35:29  You'll have to tweak your constants for me!!
16:35:34  No I won't, because I won't care
16:35:37  I wonder if you take random stack-based languages and replace their stacks with queues would it affect much their computational class

16:36:06  None
16:36:14  (See: nothing is still near to being finished)
16:36:20  Maybe there should be
16:36:22  How many will you have
16:36:28  I don't know
16:36:47  Surely it's tons. Don't tell me good algorithms and data structures can beat micro-optimised naive algorithms.
16:36:50  If I can get a difference with 95% confidence according to ministat by adding some then I will add some, otherwise I won't
16:36:52  That's just silly.
16:37:35  Microöptimization still helps :-P
16:37:44  wow, the spambot actually overwrote its own link

18:43:22  Deewiant: Um... Shiro.
18:43:32  I think there was that C++ one I liked the name of? But I forget its name.
18:43:44  Stinkhorn?
18:43:49  Hmm.
18:43:54  I must have remembered it as having a better name than it does.
18:44:10  Where does Shiro get its name from anyway
18:44:17  (I may have asked this before)
18:44:27  "Shiro, a special kind of mycelia
18:44:29  "
18:44:46  How to name a Funge thing: Go on Wikipedia -> Look at something about fungi -> Pick a word that looks nice
18:44:53  "Mycelium (plural mycelia) is the vegetative part of a fungus, consisting of a mass of branching, thread-like hyphae. The mass of hyphae is sometimes called shiro, especially within the fairy ring fungi."
18:46:50  I think I'll call it "rice rotten neck"
18:47:14  perfect
18:47:43  I generally prefer names that don't really mean much (but have some sort of relation to the thing) but sound nice.
18:47:57  Either that or uber-generic names when I can't be bothered to care.
18:48:25  I try to prefer names that have a sensible relation to the thing
18:48:41  In some abstract sense, at least
18:48:45  Well, sure.
18:49:00  I just mean I wouldn't name an interpreter something with "funge" in it unless I was doing it under the Too Lazy To Care clause.
18:49:01  So if e.g. Funge programs are fungi then interpreters would have to be things that do something with fungi
18:49:10  Or verbs or something
18:49:23  mushroom reproduction is crazy
18:49:44  the fruiting body of the mushroom produces spores, which grow into haploid mycelia
18:50:11  if two mycelia of compatible types meet, they kinda fuse together
18:50:18  and produce cells with two nuclei each
18:50:30  the types are a bit like sexes then, but i think there can be more than two
18:50:57  also in this sense they can self-fertilize like some plants
18:51:36  currently trying to grow oyster mushrooms at home
18:52:34  fungi are crazy in general
18:53:00  their biology is pretty far out from either plant or animal stuff

19:06:04  I called the static analysis tool that did the fungot flowgraph for me "mycena", don't quite remember why. It had something to do with the fact that lots of those are bioluminescent.
19:06:05  fizzie: is that: an environment is a module, change that module, and i had the first real personal shoes?

19:09:18  Deewiant: Vaatimustenmukaiset Concurrent Befunge-98 Tulkki
19:09:23  There used to be some amount of fishing-themed terminology in use for BBS file-shering. MikroBitti called their file area "apaja", meaning (approximately) a place for fishing etc., and the files themselves were fish.
19:10:00  elliott: If you lowercase the Concurrent, it's "Vaatimustenmukaiset samanaikaisesti Befunge-98 Tulkki".
19:10:30  fizzie: I decided to leave it broken as-is.
19:10:43  Is it abbreviated VCBT then? 
19:10:52  Yes.

19:13:57  Nice.
19:14:05  It was "This looks much less fancy than Google Translate." or such.

19:18:13  fizzie: You might've read fantasy in Finnish at some point; what does fae/faerie get translated to?
19:20:26  I've read a bit of it in Finnish, but I'm not sure I've read anything that has needed that word. Offhand I'd assume something keiju-derived.
19:20:41  Oh well.
19:21:03  Or possibly the same as elves.
19:22:43  A Midsummer Night's Dream's faeries in the translations go the keiju way, I think.
19:23:51  (Kaijukeiju.)
19:24:00  I was just wondering if there was anything clever for the collective fae-word.
19:24:02  I guess not.
19:26:08  "keijupiiri" is still too long, but at least it has a computing-related piiri pun.
19:28:24  Maybe "haltiapiiri", with the binary of course being called "halt".
19:28:27  Deewiant: Does it have to be 8.3 too?
19:28:42  Unrelated, but I'd like to see the term "keijuvirtapiiri" be used somewhere.
19:28:45  Preferably but it's not a requirement.
19:29:37  Speaking of translations, what are hattivatit in English? 
19:29:54  "The Hattifatteners"
19:30:44  Well, it's quite close to the Swedish.
19:31:14  Man, blue is hard.
19:32:17  For those not up to speed in Moomin lore, Hattifatteners are the guys in the lower-right corner of http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Moomin_kuva.JPG
19:32:50  They have their own article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hattifattener
19:33:06  fizzie: Who *wouldn't* be up to speed in Moomin lore?
19:33:17  Deewiant: Yes, but the picture there just looks stupid.
19:33:23  If you say so.
19:33:54  The Finnish version of the article is much better.
19:34:00  "Näkymättömässä lapsessa Muumipapan näkemissä veneissä on aina pariton määrä hattivatteja[1], mutta toisaalta Muumipeikossa ja pyrstötähdessä tekijän kuvituksessa on kahden, neljän ja kuudenkin hattivatin veneitä[2]."
19:34:05  It's all so meaningful.
19:34:08  :-D
19:34:19  I'm sure there's some kind of deep symbolism involved.
19:34:43  You Finns and your weird language.
19:36:26  elliott: "In The Invisible Child the boats Moominpappa sees always carry an odd number of Hattifatteners[1], but on the other hand in Comet in Moominland the author's illustrations have boats of two, four and even six Hattifatteners."
19:36:31  [2]
19:37:40  You Finns and your weird language.
19:37:54  That was in your weird language. Well, mostly.
19:38:28  "The Hemulens: Creatures that believe in order and like to boss other people around, but find it difficult to listen to anyone and lack a sense of humor. Many hemulens like collecting stuff, and have little time to think about much else."
19:38:33  That's the best translated name.
19:39:16  ("Hemuli" is one of the common pet names derived from my first name, so I have a particular affinity to them.)

20:38:53  um... is there an easy way to reclaim an old nick on freenode?  I'd kinda like to register this

20:40:15  um, who's someone I could poke
20:40:20 * oerjan got his nick that way
20:40:25  oerjan: "10 weeks plus (at staffer discretion) one additional week per full year of registration, up to a maximum of five additional weeks."
20:40:31  You can poke any op on #freenode.
20:40:40  oh, they've changed it then.
20:40:42  I poked the one with the lowest idle time for my cloak.
20:41:01   Last seen  : Mar 24 08:12:31 2012
20:41:06  um, "lowest idle time for my cloak"?

20:41:16    105
20:41:27  should be enough i think
20:41:34  Fiora: I poked the person who at the moment had the lowest idle time, for the purpose of getting my 'unaffiliated' cloak set on.
20:41:43  how do I figure out who has the lowest idle time?
20:41:54  Fiora: that's the hard part!
20:42:06  You can whois them randomly until you find a low enough number.
20:42:13  pfff okay
20:42:28  is a + okay?  or do I need a @ in freenode
20:42:48  Well, technically you I think should do "/quote STATS p" these days.
20:42:49  there aren't any @s 
20:42:58  ?
20:42:59  what does that do?
20:43:05  Fiora: not a channel op, a network op or what they call it
20:43:19  It will list staff members.
20:43:35  'oper', isn't it
20:43:46  oh, I see
20:43:56  okay, I used whois, but it doesn't say idle time
20:44:05  Fiora: Fuchs seems to be the one
20:44:23  Yeah, sorry, voiced on #freenode as opposed to opped.
20:44:40  "All staff currently connected to the network will be voiced in #freenode. Keep in mind that all network staff are volunteers and you may sometimes have to wait for a staffer to become active. You can also issue the command  /stats p  from within your IRC client."
20:44:46  (The quote was to make it more compatible.)
20:44:56  to get idle times you have to use the /whois Fuchs Fuchs  syntax, which asks their local server
20:44:57  okies let me try that
20:45:03  This latter list seems to be "on-call" people, so they should I guess be awake.
20:45:06  Fuchs is on that list.
20:45:13  Could be a good first attempt.

21:21:02  would the "extra zeroes" be the alternate infinities?
21:21:36  You'd want 1/(i*inf) to be a different 0 from 1/(inf) I think
21:21:41  they would probably be infinitesimals, not infinities.
21:21:56  hmm.  since complex numbers can be represented as magnitude * angle, wouldn't Sgeo__'s thing allow an infinite number of infinities?

21:27:07  Sgeo__: your idea looks like you want to add a circle of infinities, one for each angle, and then identify some of them.  which should give you a donut/torus if you do it correctly.
21:27:35  no guarantees on it having any use for complex analysis, though.
21:27:59  Wait, since when is usefulness an important thing?
21:28:39  you'd want to identify all of the four infinity*(+-sqrt(2)/2 +- i*sqrt(2)/2) points, i think.
21:29:04  and otherwise identify the left and right arc, and the upper and lower arch.
21:29:57  by mirroring across the y and x axes, respectively.
21:30:44  (reflecting through 0 would give you the real projective plane instead, ignoring the sqrt(2)/2 parts.)

21:50:58  goodness, what are the odds of two people individually making up a word that weird
21:51:05  it's the biggest naming coincidence since dennis the menace
21:51:32  erm you do know it's the greek term for a six-edged polygon, right?
21:51:40  no
21:51:42  Phantom_Hoover is an idiot
21:51:43  hth
21:52:26  also a common shape of board game whatthehecktheyarecalled
21:53:06  also why isn't mezzacotta loading
21:53:59  Loads for me?
21:54:14  yay!
21:56:03  Board game game boards.
21:56:30  no, smaller than that.
21:57:07  Square?
21:57:14  cards?
21:57:17  dice?
21:57:23  boxes?
21:57:25  Hell Monopoly
21:57:35  atriq: that doesn't quite apply when they're hexagonal, does it?
21:57:41  Chinese Checkers but a Hexagon Instead of a Hexagram
21:57:45  don't say things like that, you know how atriq feels about monopoly
22:00:10  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Board_game#Common_terms seems to imply it is space/square or cell/hex, with no term being completely shape-independent
22:00:33  I say "square" is shape-independent
22:00:44  ok i guess space is closest
22:00:51  Because I'm a linguistic pragmatist
22:00:58 * oerjan says atriq needs a swat -----###
22:01:11  Ow!
22:01:29  that's a really weird shape for a flyswatter
22:01:32  just so you know
22:01:34  oerjan: Thery're the board's hexes when they're hexagonal.
22:03:15  Phantom_Hoover: it has occasionally gained extra parts
22:03:36  oh, it's one of those modular flyswatters?
22:03:59  We're in the future.

22:06:21 * oerjan switches atriq's corpus callosum with Phantom_Hoover's
22:07:04  why
22:07:54  to see if they are properly exchangeable modules, of course!
22:07:56  where's zomgmodules
22:08:07  @where zomgmodules
22:08:07  I know nothing about zomgmodules.
22:08:22  Gregor ate him
22:08:29  This feels somewhat strange
22:09:36  I feel...
22:09:45  moderately more confident in my gender identity
22:10:05  ... because Gregor ate zomgmodules?
22:10:26  That too
22:10:53  More likely, because I know have Phantom_Hoover's corpus callosum
22:11:31  how do you know i'm moderately more confident in my gender identity
22:11:49  Well, now you're probably slightly less
22:11:56  You have my corpus callosum
22:11:57  for all you know i could be queer as a bag of lamps
22:12:20  You're forgetting one vital thing
22:12:28  I have your corpus callosum
22:12:32  I know
22:12:56  but a confident queer!
22:13:29  queer as a bag of lampreys

22:16:36  i almost feel bad linking the second because, don't feed the trolls
22:17:00  a big sign saying "fuck this guy" must have broad applicability, though.
22:17:04  yes

22:19:22  it's almost possible to believe that WBC is a brilliant false flag propaganda operation

22:19:45  they are such an over the top repugnant caricature of anti-gay attitudes
22:20:08  and they go on about how god hates america and protesting soldiers' funerals and such

22:22:12  yep
22:22:19  is that the part where jesus yells at a fig tree and it dies
22:22:35  yes
22:22:38  http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RwdH5DTKRas/TMyEw-pli9I/AAAAAAAADiw/iYNSGP-bJJY/s1600/god+hates+figs+2.jpg
22:23:30 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined.
22:23:44  i wonder what is the point of including in the bible a story where jesus is a dick to a tree
22:23:57  does it serve some rhetorical purpose
22:24:27  maybe it's just one of those things stuck in to make the fans speculate wildly and write fanfiction about it
22:24:30  haha
22:24:38  "you mean the book of mormon?"
22:24:39  which never gets answered in canon
22:24:40  yes yes XD
22:24:44  man have you seen the new testament, it's full of crazy shit nobody reads
22:24:48  how'd we get here from lampreys
22:24:51  old testament*
22:24:58  "I like the books, but christianity has a /completely/ batshit fandom"
22:25:14  monday i found out there was a whole book i'd never heard of, that just says "god hates you you fucking shitheads" repeatedly for three pages and that's it
22:25:17  "they're almost as crazy as supernatural fans!  jeez"
22:25:32  yeah it's great when christians advocate death penalty for homosexuality but ignore the next paragraph that prescribes death penalty for wearing the wrong fabrics or eating shellfish
22:25:45  also, the top weirdest bible story is the one with Zipporah and foreskins
22:25:57  I think they're misunderstanding the quote anyways.  it says a man who lies with another man should be stoned
22:26:02  «On the way, at a place where they spent the night, the LORD met him and tried to kill him. But Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin, and touched his feet with it, and said, "Truly you are a bridegroom of blood to me!" So he let him alone. It was then she said, "A bridegroom of blood by circumcision."»
22:26:13  the end
22:26:13  it's advising them that their sex is better while high, obviously
22:26:15  San Francisco: a man who lies with another man should get stoned
22:26:17  yessssss
22:26:36  Bike: wat
22:26:50  I think it says "A man who lies with men like he lies with women"
22:27:04  Which is rather specific if you think about it
22:27:06  kmc: exodus 4:24, look it up heathen
22:27:13  god hates only bisexuals
22:27:14  makes sense
22:27:18  male bisexuals, at that
22:27:33  in that sense god is in good company
22:27:45  male bisexuals who prefer specific sex positions, at that
22:27:50  heh
22:28:58  looooooooool
22:29:18  Male bisexuals who prefer specific sex positions, AND prefer to use the same sex positions with both sexes.
22:29:30  well that's what i meant by 'specific'
22:29:45  does the bible even say anything about non-heterosexual women?
22:29:52  Basically what God's saying is “treat men and women differently only when you fuck them”
22:29:53  so it's okay to get an anonymous bj at the train station, but you can't bring a guy home to cuddle
22:29:58  so... god is a closeted gay man?
22:30:00  Fiora: Nope.
22:30:08  Fiora, no, either because girl on girl is hot or because it was the past and they hadn't realised lesbians exist yet
22:30:20  (The former)
22:30:27  i remember reading the wp article about roman attitudes to sex, it's quite amusing
22:30:38  or because the parts in question are concerned with ritual cleanliness, and male priests have more opinions on anal than on scissoring
22:30:41  as a man, the most humiliating and taboo thing you could do was cunnilingus
22:30:48 -!- monqy has quit (Quit: hello).
22:31:00  Phantom_Hoover: but they still make a fuss about how horrible and sinful you are
22:31:02  didn't some english queen also say that there was no need to ban female homosexuality because it was logically impossible
22:31:06   well that's what i meant by 'specific' // it's specific in two ways: (1) it's a lying position, and (2) it's the same for both sexes
22:31:22  kmc, Victoria, I believe
22:31:25  oh, fair point
22:31:43  yeah that was my guess too
22:31:52  atriq, yeah, but what do you really think she was doing for those long years after albert died
22:32:10  Hunting down pirates with her bare hands?
22:32:24  no atriq that is probably one of those stupid things you like
22:32:30  and apparently somehow being asexual is sinful too or something I really don't know how this works
22:32:50  If asexuality is sinful then I am a sinner
22:33:02 * Fiora sinner high five?
22:33:03  depression's sinful too.  medieval commentators just had not enough to do, I think.
22:33:17 * atriq sinner high five.
22:33:17  atriq: be fruitful and multiply! or whatever it says
22:33:48  Fiora, not aromantic, though, before that gets confusing
22:33:56 -!- carado has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
22:34:10  atriq: neither am I
22:34:13  if you lie with neither men nor women, I guess you lie with both the same way
22:34:21  (aromantic is ~20% of asexuals iirc)
22:34:49  About half of the vocal asexuals I've met are aromantic
22:35:08  Saying that, I've only ever met one other vocal asexual
22:35:13  All the asexuals are highly aromatic, however.
22:35:35  so the asexual you've met was half aromantic, or
22:35:37  atriq: http://www.asexualawarenessweek.com/census/SiggyAnalysis-AAWCensus.pdf

22:37:16  question 15 is the best though ;)
22:38:20  N is not worth much without further information on the population
22:38:36  it's true, there's probably some pretty significant bias, though they also have some stats-breakdown among the three websites
22:38:45  to show possible disparities
22:40:04  there's a massive bias in gender ratio
22:40:52  I think that agrees with past studies though...
22:40:54 -!- atriq has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds).
22:41:08  (i.e. "most asexual people are female")
22:42:00  probably some bias from it being, like, tumblr though ^^;

22:46:34 -!- Gregor has changed nick to BabsSeed.
22:47:13  http://mako.cc/copyrighteous/20121123-00 a nice article about how intellectuals compete to be ignorant of sports and how this isn't actually a good thing
22:48:16  you have a definite habit of dragging your pet peeves into the channel, you know
22:48:37  what kind of an animal is a peeve
22:48:58  One you don't want to meet.
22:49:00 * BabsSeed shudders.
22:49:56  would have expected the title of the paper to be "anything but rap and country", kmc
22:50:14  kmc: hmm, the statistics seem to be from the US ... I wonder how well they apply to other parts of the world
22:51:02  oh, and now I realized that "football" in the article probably refers to the other kind of football
22:51:03  Phantom_Hoover: yep
22:51:17  as it happened though someone else sent this link to another channel just now
22:52:12  i like kmc's complaining
22:52:18  gotta have some grumpy in your life
22:52:27  tho i produce enough for multiple people myself
22:54:31  oh, interesting that heavy metal is a "less educated" kind of music according to that paper, I find that about half of the geeks here are metalheads
22:55:00  yeah, that's why i expected rap and country, that's what i'm used to nerds not liking.
22:55:27  i love how in dwarf fortress the dorfs are always the 'mountain people', yet the game makes it impossible to actually embark on a mountain
22:56:21  kmc: you should fix mosh so that irssi doesn't underline these non-links imo
22:56:42  by fix I mean break mosh
22:56:44  to fix irssi
22:56:52  hmm, do you usually "embark" on mountains?
22:56:57 -!- BabsSeed has changed nick to Gregor.
22:56:58  also kmc does tend to complain about the same thing multiple times over the course of a week or so
22:57:20  olsner, not really, you can embark on hills but that's kind of different
22:57:29  actual mountains are all off-limits
22:57:33  Phantom_Hoover: well to be fair so do you
22:57:33  and me
22:57:34  and everyone
22:58:37  afaik you can only embark on journeys and vehicles
22:59:14  elliott, i don't really notice other people repeatedly complaining about the same thing?
22:59:34  like it's generally 'you know what bugs me? " and then everyone says 'yeah me too' and that's that
23:00:17  Bike: yeah me too
23:00:18  well maybe you will complain about kmc complaining again tomorrow and I will have a concrete example
23:00:21  i don't see the problem :p
23:00:34  to be fair I don't think this counts purely as repeated complaint, because kmc added new information to the sports-hate-peeve with a link
23:00:52  well true
23:01:13  it was just the point at which i felt it worth commenting on
23:05:09  also it's a different angle than my complaint
23:05:40  Bike: oh, the abstract of the paper says "gospel, country, rap, and heavy metal"
23:05:57  my complaint is just that being proud of ignorance is dumb, and hypocritical coming from intellectuals
23:06:11  mako's making a point about classism and stuff
23:06:26  test
23:06:28  and the resolution is different too

23:07:14  q
23:07:26  ugh, it did what I didn't want it to do
23:07:42  frustrating
23:07:42  hmm, anti-intellectualism seems a sort of similar thing
23:08:18  kmc: oh i know, i was just making a mostly irrelevant comment on an unimportant aspect like i usually do
23:08:48  also the mathiest guy i know is a basketball fan.  maybe he can make up for my apathy to football
23:09:15  maybe i can pay kmc to fix this shit
23:09:42  or Phantom_Hoover
23:09:43  or olsner
23:09:45  someone volunteer
23:09:48  "this shit" == lambdabot?
23:09:52  no
23:09:55  lambdabot is just my helper
23:10:36  just use non-shit instead of shit, it's much less shittier
23:10:49  also non-shit doesn't need to be fixed by us
23:10:50  yes elliott i will fix lambdabot 
23:10:58  i'm sure i don't need to explain why i'm a worthy candidate

00:15:38  which reference?
00:15:44  right.
00:16:07 * elliott wonders what the reference is.
00:18:17  a swedish sketch from 1958
00:18:30  I am indeed younger than 1958
00:18:40  so am i.
00:18:45  was the sketch even invented back then?
00:18:58  apparently so.
00:19:05  was sweden even invented then
00:19:28  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv-WDb2HSbQ
00:23:11 * oerjan sees "ester" mentioned in the related sidebar, recalls that was funny too.  (if you understand swedish.  and can imagine a time without cell phones.)
00:25:14  esther is a name in english too
00:25:34  sure, it's biblical
00:26:14  (that
00:26:29  's not relevant to the sketch, though.  afair.)
00:27:11  is the sketch about how phones are new and people don't really know how to use them?
00:28:00  no, the whole plot just doesn't make sense if the people could have called each other in advance, is all :P
00:43:29  oerjan, is that mocking the swedish in some way

03:36:38  i've used python's BeautifulSoup in the past for web scraping; it is pretty reasonable
03:37:06  yeah, but i mean, nobody writes conforming html, there's always a bunch of stupid edge cases
03:37:24  and: the dprk's website is now all flash-based. :(
03:37:25  i think in the future for any really complicated scraping i will use PhantomJS to launch a real (headless) webkit browser and execute jQuery code in the page's context
03:37:42  ...why does that sound reasonable
03:37:54  Does the w3c write conforming html?
03:38:07  this way you can interact with the real client javascript, all kinds of ajaxy things will work right, etc
03:38:31  lemme put it this way, sgeo. http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=google.com
03:38:43  actually some ajaxy sites are really easy to scrape because you can just make those same queries and get nice json
03:39:18  i like this school of webapp design where you implement an API, and then you serve an entirely static blob of HTML/CSS/JavaScript which is just one of many clients that can talk to that API
03:40:20  sounds good to me

04:52:09  OK, USPS changed a package's expected delivery date to November 28th… today. That is, they changed the expected delivery date to today, today. Well after it would have been delivered. Bad estimation there, USPS.
04:52:25  USPS tracking is a joke
04:52:43  was the package delivered today?

08:26:35  Trying to define an operation that fits this I forget what it's called:
08:26:46  multiplication : addition :: addition : ?
08:26:56  Currently playing with ln(e^a + e^b) = a ? b
08:27:06  a ? a = a + ln 2
08:27:14  What I would like is a ? a = a + 2
08:28:50  a ? 0 > 0
08:29:00  (A property of the current definition)
08:29:33  Multiplication is repeated addition, addition is repeated successor.
08:30:08  Was hoping for a more binary operator
08:32:00  a 
08:32:19  how about a suc b = a + 1
08:33:06 * Sgeo__ glares. One less .. trivial.
08:36:21  well i'm stumped
08:37:53  I think that my current definition of ? is on some sort of track
08:38:12  After all, it is doing an addition operation of some sort when a repeated value is given
08:39:26 -!- Arc_Koen has joined.
08:40:14  And a ? 0 > 0 seems like a reasonable property for it to have, since presumably repeated 0 ? should be 0 + a positive

09:05:22  a ? b = ln(((e^2)/2)(e^a) + ((e^2)/2)(e^b))
09:05:28  Feels like cheating though

09:14:38  Is that enough dimensions for you?
09:14:58 -!- TodPunk has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
09:15:26  You can describe all IRC activity ever across all of time as a single real number; I mean, it's just a string.
09:15:53  obviously the underlying field was finite here.
09:15:57  Was beginning to realize that :/

09:17:43  woohoo i managed to delete 15gb of shit from my hd.
09:17:56  my os is on a 50 gb flash drive thingie whatever
09:18:32 -!- TodPunk has joined.
09:18:48  and i've never realized this but many things in windows are hard-coded to use that particular drive (well you can change them one by one in the registry for some things).
09:19:20  I think SSDs should be called QUANTUM DRIVES.
09:19:23  so the drive was like 80% full right away.
09:19:50  i just realized almost half of that was taken up by windows.old, which is just an old installation of windows that is used for nothing.
09:20:18  the reason i didn't realize that in the 1.5 years i've had this computer is of course that you can't make win7 show you folder sizes
09:21:03  all the user data is inexplicably stored on the os drive
09:22:03  also many shitty programs (like chrome) install on the os drive without asking you.
09:22:12  28G     archive/hut/lktm/
09:22:15  This is the directory holding stuff about a book authorship machine classification thing we did as a project exercise for T-61.5020 Statistical Natural Language Processing.
09:22:22  One day I should perhaps clean it up.
09:22:34  what kind of an asshole fucking world-rapist doesn't ask you where you wanna install the program?
09:24:42  also how in hell does everything get fucked up if i just *move* a folder, windows knows where i moved it so why can't it just automatically ask if i wanna make a link there so everything works as before!?!?!?
09:25:07  i don't get why everything having to do with computers has to be a piece of shit
09:25:58  well i kind of do get that, it's because programming is so fucking annoying you get bored of doing things right after a few thousand lines of code.
09:26:10  but i love to complain anyways, i guess i'm just a romantic
09:26:55  fizzie: so how's that going for ya?
09:27:13  could you download arxiv and run your classifier on it?
09:27:27  I don't think I "wanna".
09:27:57  Also, I haven't touched the thing since 2008, I'm sure it's rotted away by now.
09:28:00  are you making fun of my typing impediment
09:28:19  also we have some coauthored papers, could we use your thing to check which one actually wrote them?
09:29:13  also i didn't go to work today so i can move. i've been watching himym and ircing.
09:29:14  I suppose, but it's not the good thing. There are several other things around that are better things.
09:29:45  and those more good things that are better things, are those things objectively good things?
09:31:08  I think so, yes. There are papers about those things, whereas our thing was just done for this course and has some dubious design choices. We've on-and-off talked about making a good thing out of it, but it's never happened.
09:31:13  and didn't you run this sorta thing on the #esoteric logs?
09:31:29  I did run it, and it was this same thing.
09:31:38  Or maybe it was something slightly different.
09:31:41  and didn't you run this sorta thing on the #esoteric logs with names changed to the guesses on the right?
09:31:47  erm
09:31:48  ...
09:31:53  let me try that again :D
09:32:16  could you make a thing where you have #eso logs on the left and logs with names changed to the guesses on the right?
09:32:29  I think I made a confusion matrix of it.

09:36:45  oh
09:36:54  i copied both links as the url.
09:37:11  Deewiant: Maybe it's that marker/hex shape, it's kind of crummy.
09:37:18  fizzie: Yes, I think so.
09:37:30  what's that thing?
09:37:39  It's the U-matrix.
09:37:49  Well, the U-matrix with markers on top.
09:38:01  me matrix? wow thanks :)
09:38:34  The U-matrix is the average distance between one node and its neighbours.
09:38:46  fizzie: speaking of you and i being best friends, did i ever mentioned me and my ex discussed having you as the only guest in our wedding
09:38:46  It's a SOM thing.
09:38:53  *mention
09:39:07  You didn't, and that's kind of weird.
09:39:20  :D
09:39:52  that may be true.
09:40:24  (As for the plots, the blue markers are boys, the red markers are girls, and the green markers are other things.)
09:44:02  if it helps, it's not (only??) because we were hopelessly in love with you but because you were suitably disconnected yet physically reachable and much less mystical, ethereal and dangerous than Deewiant.
09:45:00  I'm mystical, ethereal, and dangerous?
09:45:03  totally
09:45:08  Okay.
09:45:08  do you disagree
09:45:18  I don't have much of an opinion.
09:46:15  Hey I found the confusion matrix, it's at http://zem.fi/~fis/esoconf.png and it's really boring.
09:46:38  It was for some easy classification task and it actually wasn't the same thing as that thing.
09:47:21  well dunno about dangerous, but i find it easier to believe fizzie has a physical essence, perhaps because he has mentioned being in places more.
09:48:45  fizzie: so what about those guess-who-said-it logs?
09:49:12  I don't know, it kind of sounds like work.
09:49:16  also how about an irc client that guesses who said each thing
09:49:27  The game version of it has been suggested a couple of times too.
09:50:12  well is there a version of the program you can send key-value pairs to and when you send a new value it guesses a key based on it? i could write a mirc script to do this then.
09:52:17  The thing as written is an offline thing, you train it with a batch of data. (And individual-line accuracy would be a bit poor, the features are simple statistics and not anything very discriminative.)
09:52:37  ic
09:53:05  you train it with half of what x says and query the other half in one batch or something?
09:53:45  or how can individual-line accuracy be poor if the confusion matrix says i'm never confused with anyone
09:54:02  i guess if someone says "okay" it's a bit hard to tell who it is
09:54:36  I think that plot was with 10-fold cross-validation; train with 9/10s of the data and test with the remaining tenth.
09:54:51  And then average over all ten cases.
09:55:31  i see
09:55:45  is the algo something explainable?
09:56:36  The LKTM thing was a SOM thing, while the esoconf thing was really just a garden-variety SVM classifier.
09:57:13  http://xn--nxa.zem.fi/~fis/esoconfnf.png is a version which apparently used as test material bunched 2000-message snippets, which already makes the statistics far more variable.
09:58:11  except for vorpal and me
09:58:41  we're special
09:58:45  http://p.zem.fi/esomap-feats the features; there's nothing really tuned for personal identification
09:58:56  and sgeo
09:59:07  and i guess alise
09:59:13  http://xn--nxa.zem.fi/~fis/esomap34n.png how the cross-validation sets look like when projected to 2d.
09:59:34  Why all these subdomains
10:01:34  how can i be close to Deewiant
10:02:03  or does that mean anything since we're not intersecting
10:02:35  i guess vorpal and fizzie win according to that graph
10:02:41  Deewiant: Not for any particular reason. I thought I'd make the paste site URLs "p.zem.fi/X" as opposed to "zem.fi/p/X" for some reason, and β is the dynamic-IP web server laptop at home, I keep all space-wasting useless stuff /~fis/ stuff there since zem.fi doesn't have too much disk space.
10:02:44  that projection i mean
10:03:30  oklopol: It is a projection from 60 dimensions to 2, so some of the apparent overlaps could really be quite illusionary.
10:04:09  does png support 60-dimensional pictures?
10:04:28  I don't think it does.
10:04:40  I bet JPEG does.
10:04:48  just 2d? that's a bit arbitrary
10:05:12  JPEG is, if I remember correctly, ridiculously general.
10:05:39  Maximum JPEG image size is 65535x65535, that's not very general.
10:05:54  :-(
10:06:31  TIFF is, if I recall correctly, also quite general.
10:06:38  TIFF implementations, on the other hand, could be anything but.
10:08:27  (I'd like to know what the "34n" means in the file name of that plot.)
10:09:04  There's also esomap, esomapf, esomapn and esomapnz.

17:28:39  could you tell me what language the interpreter at http://esolangs.org/wiki/MIX is written in?
17:28:59  Arc_Koen, Python, it looks like
17:29:09  thank you
17:29:22  also, what is the counter, what is the index, and what is mix?
17:29:50  I'm assuming the counter is an instruction pointer that you can modify from flow control
17:30:08  and I'm assuming the index is some kind of data pointer
17:30:27  but there doesn't seem to be a way to access that data
17:30:44  elliott: hi
17:30:49  hello elliott
17:30:53  hmm
17:31:26  hello elliott
17:31:30  good
17:31:47  test elliott

17:34:08 * quintopia test testelliott
17:34:14 * quintopia test eliotttest
17:35:06  right
17:35:07  ok hmm
17:35:41  oh well
17:36:16  you only want to match on \ right
17:36:37  not really
17:36:44  this behaviour is mostly acceptable since "elliott_:"
17:37:03  just annoying that it highlights weirdly for /mes
17:37:12  (highlights my nick rather than the nick of the person saying it, unlike normal messages)
17:37:44  i see the same, got used to it
17:38:30  at least irssi is behaving mostly usably now
17:43:25 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
17:43:29  i use the \ type matching in irssi. it works fine. matches in every context that someone uses my full name
17:57:08  elliott: You can give flags (-nick, -word or -line) that control what the hilight looks like. I think -nick should hilight the speaker's name. But I'm not terribly sure; maybe it no work for /me, since -nick is the default anyway.
17:57:52  fizzie: I set -nick and it didn't show that it was -nick in the /hilight list
17:57:58  so I assumed it dropped it because it's "default"

19:32:57  I'm presuming "CHELSEAN" means Chelsea, roughly
19:33:18  It's "of Chelsea" in this case.
19:33:22  It could also be "Chelsea's".
19:33:34  The second word, I have no idea

19:39:48  For context, YLE (the Finnish national broadcast company) is showing 38 first episodes of the David Suchet Poirot TV show, two/weekend.

19:40:31  To see if the bread was being made
19:41:39  Yes, that happened too.
19:41:55  Though it was already some weeks ago.
19:42:56  The TV adaptations seem to switch things around quite a bit. I think this Chelsea Flower Show thing was originally a Marple story.

19:48:10  no

20:08:09  random thought: befunge with the additional constraint that instructions that have already been executed are treated as no-ops
20:08:31  sub-tc, i think
20:08:37  so you'd have to replicate using g and p or something
20:08:44  muriel is tc isn't it?
20:08:56  too much overhead in befunge's case though
20:09:02  Consider that it takes at least one step to write one cell
20:09:05  I've seen a Befunge-93 program which replicated itself six times
20:09:13  well it did have intern loops to do that replication
20:09:18  you can manage a 1:1 ratio per tick at most
20:09:20 -!- epicmonkey has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
20:09:27  yeah ok that's a pretty good argument
20:09:35  So, as that's the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM
20:09:51  You're going to be destroying instructions faster than you can generate them
20:10:14  soon there'll be a negative amount of instructions!
20:10:44 -!- quintopia has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds).
20:10:58  ok so I've got to think about another way to limit flow control
20:11:24  that would make self-modification necessary and not just as data storage
20:11:54  wait, I actually wonder how Befunge can ever be tc
20:12:04  if the size of integers on the stack is bounded
20:12:25  then p and g can only access cells which are in the boundaries
20:12:38  even if you take the 80*25 limitation out
20:12:50  well I guess I should take a better look at funge-98
20:13:06  (but not before sheppard saves the galaxy once or twice)
20:13:23  because it has control flow other than p and g?
20:13:33  also it's shepard, and are you playing mass effect?
20:13:38  has it
20:13:40  nope
20:13:40  don't play mass effect, only pain and misery awaits
20:13:51  was talking about stargate

21:32:11  oh niue actually

21:32:49  of course lazy evaluation if not very finitist
21:33:21  s/if/is/
21:34:41  well lazy evaluation is approximately codata, codata is constructive, does that mean it's also finitist?
21:35:08  oerjan: hmm, but what about lazy infinite lists?
21:35:31 -!- jfischoff has joined.
21:35:43  i'm still struggling with the evaluation model
21:35:44  rapido: that's codata.  you can ask to get any finite index, and that can be finite to compute.
21:36:22  yeah, i read about that - i don't really grasp it
21:36:40  thus it's bullshit, amirite?
21:36:58  codata means you can always go one level deeper in finite time, or approximately so.
21:37:05  oerjan: well if you are finitist enough then the set of indices is finite.
21:37:14  OKAY
21:37:32  oerjan: that wasn't a joke...
21:37:38  i know
21:37:40  i think codata are actually streams
21:37:42  see: http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/ralf.hinze/publications/CEFP09.pdf
21:37:54  is that a correct assumption?
21:37:55  more like streams are a type of codata...
21:39:44  Phantom_Hoover: "thus it's bullshit, amirite?" - no, i didn't give it the thought that it needs
21:40:29  elliott: i'm all for stream algebras: how do they match with codata?
21:41:55 -!- Bike has quit (Quit: Lost terminal).
21:42:02  or are codata more general than streams?

00:05:10  and when you've find it, you look for the definition of each symbol in the definition, in the tail of the list of definitions
00:05:21  mascarpone is slightly more tricky
00:05:35  I was planning to have some kind of functions yes
00:05:52  but it's all so abstract
00:05:59  this reminds me of some of ais523's problems with Feather.
00:06:18  that is also ridiculously meta-circular.
00:07:39  btw I have no idea what "the way that lexical variables are captured in closures in functional languages" is
00:08:31  can you tell me more about feather?
00:09:03  no, he can't
00:09:04  nobody can
00:09:09  `? feather
00:09:12  feather? ¯\(°_o)/¯
00:09:17  not even hackego can
00:09:46  hahahahha
00:09:46  but seriously, feather's a vague concept wrapped in years of in-jokes
00:09:48  i think the meaning there is that interpreters "close over" operations in that you can't get the operation "out" of the interpreter except in the way specified in that interpreter's semantics
00:09:57 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Quit: Leaving).
00:10:03 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined.
00:11:41  but it's the interpreter that is captured in the operation
00:12:22  oh, yeah, other way around
00:12:28  the way I see it an interpreter is a (symbol * operation list) list
00:13:00  and an operation is (symbol list) * interpreter
00:13:01  Arc_Koen: yeah that doesn't work for the bottom interpreter
00:13:10  yes
00:13:30  so interpreter would be something like Null | Initial | New of (symbol * operation list) list
00:13:39  so technically it's potentially not infinite
00:13:43  so that would be ok by me
00:13:51  but I have a hard time explaining that to ocaml
00:14:16  because there's no equivalent to the "let rec x = f(y) and y = g(x)" for types
00:14:44  that is, if I define operations first, ocaml is gonna tell me it doesn't know what "interpreter" means
00:14:44  it is probably better to see an operation as some function performing whatever action the operation actually should perform.
00:14:56  and i would guess that's what the implementation does.
00:14:56  yeah, ok, I'll try to do it that way
00:15:02  hm, perhaps i'm misunderstanding the page, but it seems just like reified environments
00:15:15  I don't want to look at chris' implementation before I do my own
00:17:04  wait, how do you put strings on the stack?
00:17:22  oh, wait, nevermind, it's obvious.
00:18:19  oi elliott it has been a few minutes
00:18:28  i want more minutes
00:21:49  btw the wiki seems to handle the /// page badly
00:22:16  that is, "Slashes" is the redirect and /// the page, so /// is categorized, but links to /// directly don't work
00:22:17  yeah, mw uses / for subpages
00:23:30  @tell atriq  My son looks a bit like me, he can put away the plates after dinner now thanks to edwardk! <-- hum...
00:23:30  Consider it noted.
00:23:55  Arc_Koen: i sometimes nag elliott about that.
00:24:02  shachaf: someone is porting Mosh to AIX
00:24:10  ha
00:24:11  Phantom_Hoover: not in the main namespace of esolang
00:24:25  It's not about subpages.
00:24:29  It's about me being irresponsible.
00:24:38  Irresponsible
00:24:41  as long as we agree on that!
00:24:42  good name for an esolang
00:24:47  kmc: How's the Android port doing?
00:24:48  kmc: is mosh available for plan 9 yet
00:24:55  actually mosh does something that plan 9 should never be made to do
00:25:46  Arc_Koen: it used to work at the time /// was a featured language, but somehow it broke again.
00:25:49  shachaf: somebody has a fork of connectbot that does mosh
00:25:51  elliott: which
00:26:14  also did you see http://content.dell.com/us/en/enterprise/d/campaigns/xps-linux-laptop.aspx
00:26:21  kmc: which what
00:26:22  what if we tried \/\/\/
00:26:27  oerjan: I broke it
00:26:27  it's an ultrabook-ish laptop from dell that comes with ubuntu
00:26:48  and is also like all cloud and shit
00:27:46  elliott: by upgrading, i assumed?
00:27:55  kmc: Yep.
00:28:02  What's with the resolution?
00:28:20  oerjan: no
00:28:24  oerjan: I changed the config
00:29:09  shocking!
00:29:25  Arc_Koen: "I'm actually not sure what concatenative exactly mean". it means that syntactic concatenation denotes semantic composition
00:29:38  oh
00:29:48  nothing more?
00:29:49  broadly, it means that if you get two valid programs and append their sources, the meaning of the resulting program is the function composition of those two programs
00:30:02  (in a traditional stack language, your semantics are a function from stacks to stacks)
00:30:02  'nothing more'?  but that's cool
00:30:08  something something monoids
00:30:23  so if you have 3 3 + that's the composition of the program that takes a stack and pushes 3 to it, that same program again, and the program that takes two elements off the top of the stack, adds them, and pushes the result back
00:30:32  yes yes that's the idea in carriage
00:30:34  which gives you a program which pushes 6 to a stack
00:30:48  Bike: I don't think you need an identity for this to be well-defined, actually
00:30:53  just a semigroup
00:31:11  but I mean, apart from possible nameclashes in more complex languages
00:31:29  I think that many many languages are concatenative
00:31:30  no?
00:31:59  many actual real programming languages?
00:32:00  not really
00:32:20  I guess you can sort of argue that C is sort of concatenative kind of, but not really
00:32:47  am i concatenative
00:32:57  well the fact that you need a function called main is embarrassing
00:34:32  elliott why do i get the sense you are not doing anything relating to dwarf fortress
00:35:20  i guess ocaml fits better than C
00:35:38  Phantom_Hoover: a minute ok
00:35:39  !!
00:35:47  hm wait what about imports
00:35:55  or can ocaml have those anywhere
00:36:05  yes, anywhere
00:36:08  I'm pretty sure
00:36:23  haskell must have them at the top, alas
00:36:28  HAHA
00:36:30  and also has that pesky main
00:36:40  Ocaml is better than Haskell THERE YOU HAVE IT
00:36:57  haskell has a better name and logo though
00:37:16  i assumed that was so you could chase imports without reading the whole file
00:37:19  i am glad haskell makes you organise imports reasonably
00:37:25  oerjan: well haskell has to process modules to parse
00:37:27  because fixity
00:37:48  well that's a separate last parsing step now
00:37:59  so guys do you all know about alonzo church's son dating haskell curry's daughter
00:38:12  because everyone should know that
00:38:16  Phantom_Hoover: vaguely rings a bell
00:38:22  I think I've heard of it before
00:38:43  shachaf: you should be able to query the unicode character database via DNS
00:39:00  where are the CS paparazzi when you need 'em
00:39:05  (i think that was superturing's origin story)
00:39:50  wait
00:39:52  Phantom_Hoover: that is the coolest thing ever
00:39:55  kmc: Any idea why UnicodeData.txt is incomplete?
00:39:57  both superturing's parents are functional?
00:40:03  shocker
00:40:11  it is?
00:40:14  what do yo umean
00:40:33  Doesn't contain a bunch of codepoints.
00:40:48  Like U+3456 㑖
00:41:26  I'm referring to ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt
00:41:32  ah
00:41:37  Where else should I get my up-to-date Unicode information?
00:41:38  Qed. 㑖
00:44:14  That is a weird-looking character.
00:44:28  人 + 仲. Really?
00:44:42  huh
00:44:50  OK, 人 is also not in there.
00:44:58  (which is of course 人 + 中)
00:45:12  shachaf: The *hell*?
00:45:17  You'd think U+4EBA would be there, right?
00:45:28  It's missing all those what'sitcalled characters.
00:45:50  Yeah. 人 was definitely in the first Unicode version with CJK.
00:46:00  The typical kindergartner knows it.
00:46:08  Only some of these characters display here. :(
00:46:09  oh that's not actually a big box?
00:46:18  i guess i got a double width replacement box :3
00:47:35  pikhq_: Maybe it's just not part of UnicodeData.Txt
00:47:38  s/T/t/
00:48:12  ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/CJKRadicals.txt seems to have it.
00:48:28  Makes sense. It *is* a radical.
00:48:49  Can't I get one file with all the codepoints in a uniform format?
00:49:02  I thought UnicodeData.txt was supposed to be complete!
00:49:30  help
00:50:15  so elliott how 'bout that minute huh
00:50:56  how about some more minutes
00:51:20  zomg ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/BidiMirroring.txt
00:51:23  kmc: ☝
00:51:33  I feel like I should've known about that.
00:52:13  haha nice
00:52:47  wtf "PARAPHRASE BRACKET"
00:52:50  who uses that
00:56:09  ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/NamesList.txt
00:56:12  Maybe that's the file I need.
00:56:23  Of course I'll need to write a more complicated program to process that. :-(
00:57:49  I'm not sure I understand what @/expand is for in macarphone.
00:58:13  i like the idea of a kid who loves Japan and always reads about Japan on the Internet (like you do) but doesn't have Japanese fonts
00:58:21  and so he thinks that Japanese people use a writing system where you put four hex digits in a box
00:58:24  and learns to read this
00:59:23  kmc: that sounds like the plot to a really bad short story
00:59:32  yeah
00:59:47  better as a minor character detail in a story
00:59:59  are the han characters in unicode ordered in any particular way?
01:00:05  by stroke or something
01:00:10  They're ordered by codepoint.

01:01:43  @+These form a set of four quine corners, for quincuncial arrangement. They are also used in upper and lower pairs in mathematic, or more rarely in editorial usage as alternatives to half brackets.

01:03:17  This style is sometimes known as open-face or blackboard-bold. Double-struck symbols already encoded in the Letterlike Symbols block and omitted here to avoid duplicate encoding.

01:16:24  elliott: what if you get over your issue w/ its background music
01:17:19  those things take time, monqy 
01:17:40  monqy: df has atmosphere
01:18:01  that explains why the dorfs don't all croak immediately

01:56:06  (the question is "how many squares do you see", btw)
01:57:17  oerjan: I see 1024000
01:57:22  they're all very little
01:57:28  O KAY
01:57:46  madbr: there are SoC's with integrated DSP
01:58:23  oerjan: do 'you' get it
01:58:41  a combination of that and running a RTOS on the ARM part should suffice for many things
01:59:30  hmm
01:59:45  isn't the main CPU a lot faster?
01:59:57  depends what you are doing i guess
02:00:11  i don't know really

02:07:13  elliott, monqy Fiora there was an update a bit earlier
02:07:57  it has occured to me that the itflabtijtslwi deadfish could be converted to use decimal (and so allow bigger numbers) if i could just find a way to do multiplication in a fixed number of substitution commands.
02:08:05  ohai o/
02:08:12  kmc: tbh I've never worked with DSPs
02:08:25  kmc : mostly because you never get access to them anyways
02:08:30  (on cell phones)
02:09:55  which i _think_ i can reduce to sorting a list of unary numbers
02:13:08  which i still don't know how to do.
02:21:26  yeah on cell phones it's almost impossible to get low latency
02:22:00  they are built for angry birds and youtube, not for music
02:22:17  (well, making music that is... consuming music is a-ok of course)
02:22:29  and even angry birds is a stretch
02:22:36  And they're not that good at any of it.
02:22:39  Welp, got my new business cards.
02:22:43  Printed on the back of playing cards.
02:22:52  Gregor: I saw. Those things are awesome.
02:23:19  I'm still unsure X-D
02:23:32  Shoulda made it pony themed.
02:23:48  Yeah, maybe not.
02:23:59  I think “they're playing cards” is plenty eccentric.
02:24:11  I mean "instead of playing cards".
02:24:34  can you actually play cards with 'em?
02:24:43  But whatever. There's many ways of being eccentric, and all of them pretty nice.
02:25:05  Bike: Yes.
02:25:16  Bike: Except that he won't have a deck for long.
02:25:28  That's ok, he can just downgrade to Pinochle.
02:26:01  It is a real, complete deck of playing cards, yes, but I don't intend to use them as such since that would defeat the whole “business card” thing ;)

04:31:30  "poëtic"
04:31:45  that is the most pretentious use of diæresis i have seen
04:31:47  Well, if "noël", why not "poëtic"?
04:32:02  i don't think even the new yorker would do that
04:32:11  Probably not.
04:32:18  kmc: Do you know of a good XCompose configuration file?
04:32:21  The excuse for "noël" is that it's spelled that way in French.
04:32:23  ISTR the default one is really awfully terrible.
04:32:43  http://mainisusuallyafunction.blogspot.com/2010/10/typing-mathematical-characters-in-x.html
04:33:03  the default one is pretty good as far as actual letters, i've found
04:33:06  mathematical characters such as ꙮ
04:33:34  I'll ask pikhq_ instead.
04:33:38  Hey pikhq_!
04:33:39  but i want to use e.g. da do de di for ♬♩♫♪
04:33:53  shachaf: i don't have that one
04:34:04  i did add the unaccented greek alphabet though
04:34:20  kmc: How do you type ꙮ?
04:34:27  A66E?
04:36:04  copy pasta
04:36:12  elliott: you could use the spanish keyboard tbh
04:36:22  elliott: I use the default.
04:36:24  madbr: huh?
04:36:26  qwerty and has a lot of common accents
04:36:35  elliott: I guess I'll have to ask you if you find a better one.
04:36:37  that's not really my use-case
04:36:51  pikhq_: i think i found one that redid the whole thing from scratch with the one problem that i didn't like the combos it used
04:36:59  if you just want accented latin characters, the default xcompose is fine
04:37:35  don't think it covers vietnamese, but most european languages using the latin alphabet
04:37:37  Yeah. You can type "Erdős" just fine that way.
04:37:43  I would kind of like LaTeX support :P
04:37:44  yeah =o
04:37:47  faux-LaTeX that is
04:37:54  Doesn't do Vietnamese, yeah.
04:37:56  elliott: there's a gtk input mode
04:38:03  yeah but I think it's bad
04:38:05  = limited
04:38:05  or... whatever thingy gtk uses
04:38:07  yeah probably
04:38:18  insert gnome bashing here
04:38:22  mathematical characters like ☭
04:38:39  'Course, Vietnamese is a Roman alphabet rendering stress test.
04:38:44  shachaf: you should write a c compiler named cccp
04:39:02  oh it is already a research group name
04:39:04  sigh
04:39:16  bet it's awkward when they get visiting postdocs from baltic states
04:39:18  kmc: how do you tell what Multi_key is in your setup, do you know?
04:39:31  well, it's just an X keysym
04:39:35  you can bind it with xmodmap
04:39:48  but i guess for the default you woud have to look in the keyboard layout definition files
04:39:57  mm... thanks
04:39:59  I suspect by default it's unbound.
04:40:16  probably
04:40:17  or just open xev and then mash all keys
04:40:22  It's Win here.
04:40:25  yeah that was my previous  method
04:40:40  i already have win as hyper.  i think i'm running out of weird modifier keys to use.
04:40:52  on thinkpads you can use Fn as Multi_key
04:40:54  i wonder what to put compose on
04:40:57  i use right-alt as my xmonad key
04:41:04  I guess I could use right win
04:41:04  because it sends a key event if you press and release it without pressing anything else
04:41:06  Right-win.
04:41:18  oh, it does?  that's news to me
04:41:18  kind of awkward to press tho :(
04:41:30  i should buy a happy hacking keyboard so all the keys i can possibly press are readily accessible
04:41:43  Yeah, but composing glyphs is a relatively infrequent thing.
04:41:47  and switch to colemak and become a hermit and retreat into the antarctic wastelands and kill myself
04:41:49  i suppose i could use H-Menu instead of Menu for wm shit
04:42:33  i have left ctrl for opening browser tabs, left win for opening native apps, left alt for alt, right alt for WM actions, right win for Compose, and right Ctrl for nothing because it's a fucking pain to hit
04:42:48  i also have Fn send Esc if you press and release, but I don't use it much
04:42:51  elliott: Alas, I don't have the option.
04:42:54  there is a hack to use Caps Lock as both Ctrl and Esc
04:43:02  should switch to that
04:43:08  i mainly use Ctrl-[ for Esc these days
04:43:38  pikhq_: well antarctica is a little inaccessible I admit, but suicide?
04:43:55  elliott: I was referring to the entire list.
04:44:06  Suicide is essentially always an option, of course.
04:44:14  colemak is for people who think dvorak is too mainstream
04:44:35  what a terrifying thought
04:44:38  A profoundly suboptimal option, but nevertheless.
04:44:43  well if I am going to switch to an obscure keyboard layout
04:44:53  then I better switch to the one whose superiority to QWERTY I am most convinced of
04:45:22  i think it's pretty clear that both dvorak and colemak are superior to qwerty
04:45:46  oh, are there good studies now?
04:45:47  maybe colemak is slightly better than dvorak, maybe not, buti don't think it matters
04:45:54  kmc: I phrased it badly
04:46:00  and dvorak is much more standard
04:46:03  "I'd better switch to the one that I am most convinced is best"
04:46:25  well I don't use other people's keyboards very much but it's awkward enough to switch to Dvorak on those that I'd rather just remember how to type with QWERTY
04:46:34  it is not that awkward
04:46:48  if i have to use someone else's computer for more than 5 minutes i would usually want to switch it
04:46:56  I mean I already use xmonad and customise the programs I use fairly heavily
04:46:58  switching to dvorak takes about 30 seconds in most operating sysem
04:47:03  so someone else's computer is always going to be awkward
04:47:18  winter is always going to be cold so you might as well go outside naked
04:47:19  some people restrict themselves to almost-stock settings and the like to avoid that painfulness and that's fine but those aren't my priorities
04:47:58  kmc: I don't find the gain compelling enough for the (expected) loss in the vast majority of my computer-using time given that the scenario it helps with is already moderately painful
04:48:13  ok, fine
04:48:36  when i went to the computer store to evaluate laptop keyboards, it was very useful that i could switch them to dvorak

04:54:00  kmc: You should get a Model M.
04:54:04  model ms suck
04:54:05  "the one true keyboard?"
04:54:07  well they don't suck
04:54:10  but they're seriously overrated
04:54:10  model m = the future
04:54:15  (I typed on a Model M for >a year)
04:54:43  agree
04:54:58  i used a real model m for a few years and a unicomp model m clone for a few more
04:55:23  even ignoring practical constraints like it has a ton of useless keys and is fucking huge and makes a racket, the buckling springs are just way too heavy really
04:55:42  unless you have mechanical fingers of steel or whatever I'm pretty sure another keyboard will be better for typing
04:56:04  useless keys?
04:56:11  but it's the mythical keyboard of Real Hackers from before I was born so it must be good
04:56:24  You know what's overrated?
04:56:29  Not having → and End keys.
04:56:32  Calling things overrated?
04:56:36  meh screw keyboards, you should become a gun nerd
04:56:52  there you can argue the superiority of designs almost 100 years old

04:58:36  I have to admit that numpads... suck
04:58:57  elliott: They're there for those people that want to input lots of numbers but can't be bothered to learn to touch type.
04:59:01  i.e. morons
04:59:16  well for spreadsheets/accounting and stuff I assume they are more efficient than the numpad
04:59:21  if you only input numbers all day, presumably it is less finger movement
04:59:22  yeah
04:59:22  but it should really just be a separate device
04:59:23  well, my laptop keyboard is numpad-free
04:59:24  suck it haters.
04:59:33  and indeed you can buy USB numpads!
04:59:39  so all we have to do is bring USB back in time
04:59:50  indeed you can find USB numpads for free in basements
05:00:03  bike: that's fine
05:00:42  bike: it's when they start removing other stuff like home, end, pgup, pgdown, F keys, delete, insert...
05:00:57  Without a numpad it's harder to play NetHack!
05:01:03  For people not used to vi-style keys
05:01:04  No, it's easier.

05:02:54  HJKL is the wrong shape
05:02:57  colemak tries to keep zxcv in place
05:03:01  if i was making a keyboard layout
05:03:06  i would try to keep hjklyubn in the same place
05:03:16  and you would squander half of the home row
05:03:21  that's ok
05:03:27  vikeys is no squandering
05:03:34  Because he'd make the left side chorded.
05:03:35  hjkl belongs on VT terminals
05:03:46  'j' is one of the least used letters in English and it has the best possible spot in QWERTY
05:04:08 * pikhq_ uses it :(
05:04:20  but what about words like "jalopy"
05:04:35  My name starts with the most important QWERTY letter!
05:04:35  the only less used letters are x, q, and z

06:31:31  His new argument: The null byte breaks stuff, and according to him, PHP and most other languages except for Pascal use C-style strings
06:31:55  it must be sad to be trapped in the seventies
06:32:10  the null byte "breaks stuff"
06:32:18  elliott, not his words, sorry
06:32:18  because somehow your input string gets a null byte in the middle of it
06:32:28  despite your strings being null-terminated
06:32:36  elliott, assumed to be because of malicious user
06:32:49  Sgeo__: what?
06:33:00  i'm saying it is impossible to have a nul in the middle of a null-terminated string
06:33:04  hopefully you agree
06:33:12  Yes
06:34:03  I checked out and noted to him that the SQLite and MySQL prepared query C-level APIs, for the parts where you give the API a string, it asks for a length (SQLite makes it optional either give length or assume nul-terminated string)
06:34:30  He said he definitely did attack a PHP script that used MySQL prepared queries with a null byte
06:36:25  not sure why you are bothering to argue with this idiot
06:38:26  Oh, also with the null-terminated thing: He talked about using the null byte to do weird file system stuff. I said that was an OS-level issue, he said no because it works on both Windows and Linux

10:49:26  Phantom_Hoover: guess what i didn't do
11:02:29  elliott, fuck's sake man
11:08:40  I found a definition of ? that tricked me for a short while
11:09:03  It's a bit cheaty, but it doesn't even work anyway
11:09:14  oh?
11:09:35  a ? b = (a+b)/2 + 2
11:09:59  btw what is?
11:10:01  If I did the math right (I didn't write it down), a ? a = a + 2 and a ? a ? a = a + 3
11:10:13  Unfortunately a ? a ? a ? a != 4
11:11:08  monqy, a vague notion of some operation, such that addition is sort of like repeated ?
11:11:35  I think it's kind of fun that that given operation works for a?a and a?a?a but not a?a?a?a
11:11:48  so what are the properties said ? has to satisfy
11:12:59  Ideally, repeating it should result in addition, and it shouldn't be too trivial
11:13:14  in what sense / in what sense
11:13:49  i think Sgeo__ is unhappy with the successor function and wants to invent his own
11:13:51  Hard to pin down what I think is too trivial, but as far as the first in what sense: a?a = a+2; a?a?a = a+3; a?a?a?a = a+4, etc.
11:14:14  ummm the successor function is unary Phantom_Hoover
11:14:30  a ? b = Sa
11:14:32  too trivial???
11:14:40  not commutative
11:14:54  you have to give things up monqy  .............. to achieve ur dreams
11:15:27  heck it's!! not even associative!!!
11:15:32  I don't think I'm too worried about commutativity. But that definition is definitely too trivial. (Also wrong, but hey... although, come to think of it)
11:15:54  is not associative what you mean by wrong
11:16:10  What I mean by wrong is a?a = a+1 when I was looking for a?a = a+2
11:16:18  oh
11:16:29  "that too"
11:16:42  Although, I guess looking for an operator where a?a = a+1 might be more fruitful... and again ignoring trivial things >.>
11:16:47  a ? b = Sa unless this is the first ? and then it's a instead
11:16:58  definition of ?: a ? a = a + 1
11:17:09  a ? ... ? a = n where n is the number of a appearing in there
11:17:17  a ? b = a + (b/a)????
11:17:27  'a promising start' -people
11:17:48  Sgeo__: ps what associativity is ?
11:17:50  or can you pick either
11:18:20  Doesn't matter, I guess
11:18:31   
11:18:45  Also, I think f(a,b) = ln(e^a + e^b) is a fun operator
11:19:07  I was sort of hoping that that or a variation of it could be used for this, but it's fun in and of itself, I think
11:19:35  how about the "cool associativity" where a ? a ? a ? a = (a ? a) ? (a ? a)
11:19:46  :=, rather
11:20:00  the Double Cool Associativity whereby a ? a ? a = a + 3

11:21:07  :[
11:21:08  R. I. P.
11:22:09  If you have the properties that a ? a = a + 2 and a ? a ? a = a + 3, then (a ? a ? a) ? (a ? a ? a) = (a + 3) ? (a + 3) = a + 3 + 2 = a + 5 -- but you also wanted a ? a ? a ? a ? a ? a in general to be a + 6, which is perhaps a bit of a problem.
11:22:54  i don't think sgeo cares about associativity though, which is weird given the way he was writing his stuff!!!
11:23:04  Also going backwards from a?a?a = a+3, a?a = a+2, I suppose then a = a+1.
11:23:05  "it's almost like he hadn't thought it through"
11:23:32  fizzie: imo Double Cool Associativity solves these problems? and more?
11:23:58  Double Cool probably solves anything, it's so cool.
11:24:23  fizzie: other solutions: infinity number system where every number is infinity
11:24:26  a = a+1? no problem
11:24:35  a+5 = a+6? no problem
11:25:24  Well, is it really a big deal to say that ((a ? a) ? a) ? a not always = (a ? a) ? (a ? a)
11:25:25  ?
11:25:37  sgeo i think the a = a + 1 thing might be more of a problem
11:27:01  it's unfair to say that a = a + 1 when he hasn't even explained his notation
11:27:12  maybe a = a + 2!!!!!
11:27:34  well
11:27:43  if we say that + is defined in the "usual" manner
11:28:01  a + Sb = a ? (a + b) -- adjust for associativity
11:28:16  a + 1 = a -- base case
11:28:30  i dont quite know why you wouldnt just go with a ? a = a + 1 tho
11:28:40  not like 1 is privileged as a base-case for repeaty thirng rj jwraw klsf aew;  ';.
11:28:42  i gave up again
11:28:44 * Sgeo__ can live with a ? a = a + 1
11:28:52  then whats a ? (a + 1)!!!!!!!
11:29:24  monqy: 4
11:29:43  Reason I was thinking a ? a = a + 2 is because a + a = a * 2
11:31:17  i'll let fizzie figure it out

11:46:02  " Well, is it really a big deal to say that ((a ? a) ? a) ? a not always = (a ? a) ? (a ? a)" if you don't have associativity, computations become harder usually.
11:46:40  i mean calculations
11:57:11  Fuck
11:57:27  Suppose a?a = a+1
11:57:42  Then (a+1)?(a+1) = a+1+1=a+2
11:58:10  But, ideally, (a?a)?a = a+2 = (a+1)?a
11:58:23  So (a+1)?a = (a+1)?(a+1)
11:59:25  duh
12:00:38  oh was the idea to change the definition so that a?a = a+1 for all a but you still get some nontrivial operation?
12:00:44  so that a?b may not be a+1
12:01:05  Pretty much, yeah
12:01:12  then why do you say a+2 = (a+1)?a
12:01:37  oklopol: because the point is to have addition be "repeated ?"
12:01:45  so you have to define addition inductively by ?
12:01:51  that's a very good poitn
12:01:52  point
12:02:24  in any case is there an associative operation on N such that a?a = a+1 for all a?
12:02:36  And the end result will probably be the successor operation, ignoring the second argument of ? :-P
12:02:52  oklofok, there's an operation
12:03:08  Not sure if it's associative, but
12:03:18  log_2(2^a + 2^b) = a?b
12:03:22  if you want to have addition be repeated ?, then i'm pretty sure it has to be successor . takeleftarg
12:04:11  hmm
12:04:22  a?a = log_2(2*2^a) = log_2 2 + log_2 2^a = 1 + a
12:04:29  Deewiant: that's ruled out by Sgeo__'s undefined nebulous triviality rule
12:04:45  Sgeo__: so what's a?b?
12:04:54  log_2(2^a + 2^b)
12:04:55  presumably
12:05:00  yeah
12:05:41  then (a?b)?c = log_2(2^log_2(2^a + 2^b) + 2^c) = associative
12:05:42  cool
12:06:07  but is (a?a)?a = a+2?????????????? the mysteries
12:06:30  oh i though he checked that
12:06:35  i guess it's not
12:06:47  or is it :D :D
12:06:51  i dont think it is
12:06:56  No. At least, I'm fairly sure the answer is no. I came up with the general thing against the whole ? idea when wondering about this particular operation
12:06:57  It's not
12:06:57  god (W|A) doesn't seem to think so either
12:07:01  yeah
12:07:33  You would have to have that (a+1)?a = a+2 thing if you wanted (a?a)?a = a+2.
12:07:34  so you have an operation that's associative such that a?a = a+1
12:09:46  in general, (a+n)?a = a+n+1 for all a with that idea
12:09:56  i mean what fizzie just said
12:10:29  and we require nothing for a?b where b is less than a
12:10:38  erm
12:10:41  a is less than b
12:10:46  oi elliott are you ever going to do that thin
12:10:51  g
12:11:15  so that's the characterization right, any binary function such that a?b = a+1 when b \leq a
12:11:40  Phantom_Hoover: ye but im tired right now so do you really want me to set up the fortress in that state
12:11:48  consider how horrifying awake elliott fortresses are
12:11:59  just do worldgen and pick an embark then
12:12:06  in particular, you can make it commutative right
12:12:24  a?b = max(a, b) + 1
12:13:00  so, this is the unique commutative binary operation f such that addition is repeated f i guess
12:13:30  we could publish this in the journal of ridiculous theorems
12:13:31  congrates Sgeo__
12:14:52  oklopol: If it's repeated with both arguments being the result of the previous, there are others
12:16:02  so my requirement was a + b = ((((a?a)?a)?a)?...)?a where a appears b+1 times on the right
12:16:11  with yours, err
12:16:25  that's just a?a = a+1
12:16:45  p. sure Sgeo__ meant what oklopol meant
12:16:47  and then Sgeo__'s is a commutative associative operation
12:16:57  or pretty much anything else.
12:17:07  I just wasn't sure what you meant with "addition is repeated f"

12:38:36  fizzie: do you know of a thing to get outgoing messages automatically split when they're too big w/ irssi
12:38:46  i found this ancient perl script to do it but idk if it's any good or whatever
12:38:56  scripts.irssi.org splitlong.pl is what I use.
12:40:09  Except I use it with a /set splitlong_max_length 400 which is overly cautious, but the default -- which is calculate the exact limit programmatically -- sometimes miscalculates stuff due to things like freenode cloaks.
12:40:45  (The "fis@iris.zem.fi" it believes will be in the message is shorter than the real "fis@unaffiliated/fizzie".)
12:41:06  what i found was http://scripts.irssi.org/html/autowrap.pl.html
12:41:39  fizzie: solution: get rid of your cloak since you have a cool hostname??
12:42:12  Well  http://scripts.irssi.org/scripts/autowrap.pl  and  http://scripts.irssi.org/scripts/splitlong.pl  they're quite similar, except autowrap always uses that limit of 400, it seems.
12:42:21  Slightly curious that I hit the same number independently.
12:42:27  wow, Debian has literally a kajillion identds
12:43:15  And it binds to event_send_text vs. sig_command_msg so it might affect some cases where the other would not, but it's split everything I've typed just fine.
12:43:36  The cool hostname unworks if I connect to a non-IPv6 server these days. :/
12:44:08  fizzie: I connect with this fancy SSL thing. And then authenticate with this fancy SASL thing.

12:52:42  That should go back to 109.75.188.190 so that everyone would accept the reverse as genuine.
12:52:47  (How do I get irssi to prefer IPv6 servers for the irc.freenode.net thingy?)
12:52:53  Why doesn't it D-:
12:52:56 -!- monqy has quit (Quit: hello).
12:53:19  You can say -6 to /connect and /server.
12:53:37  I tried SSL/TLS with IRC, but WeeChat’s upgrade without dropping connections (as well as Irssi’s for that matter) doesn’t work with encrypted connections.
12:54:23  ion: For irssi that's not a problem since it doesn't get new releases.
12:54:32  heh
12:54:35  fizzie: is there a way to -6ify my existing server entry without retyping my settings :(
12:54:38  Oh noes, you'll have to disconnect for a few seconds! YOU MIGHT MISS SOMETHING IMPORTANT
12:54:51  elliott: /save and edit the config file?
12:54:57  That could work.
12:54:59  Deewiant: like a commoner!
12:55:12  Maybe if you add the server with the same name, it only edits the explicitly specified settings? Then again, maybe NOT.
12:55:15  deewiant: It’s not about missing messages, it’s about unnecessary quit/join spam.
12:55:24  Oh, I should set up the verify-server-SSL-key thing too.
12:55:27  What if someone IMPERSONATES FREENODE?
12:55:33  Especially if you use nightly builds and upgrade daily.
12:55:48  I did think about maybe SSLing, I think bip does that. But it doesn't do the SASL auth.
12:55:49  I think that's a reasonable source of quit/join spam
12:55:50  (it is so about missing messages)
12:55:59  elliott: What if YOU HAVE CHATTED ON A FAKE NETWORK ALL THIS TIME?
12:56:08  What if I'm a fake fizzie too.
12:56:17  You should "verify my key", if you know what I mean.
12:56:21  (I don't know what I mean.)
12:56:59 * ion signs fizzie’s public key, if you catch my drift
12:58:50  I think if I mosh into my dtached irssi which connects with IPv6 ~verified~ SSL and authenticates with SASL using an identd that might just be too many things and I would explode.
12:58:59  My key has 18 signatures. And apparently expired in 2006.
12:59:06  (I don't get much PGP'd mail.)
12:59:09  Oh hey, /server -6 irc.freenode.net DTRT.
12:59:15  It just didn't show it as DoingTRT in /server list.
12:59:22  Or maybe that's the creation time.
13:00:28  Oh, oidentd looks Totally Bloated.
13:00:33  Hierarchical configuration files and everything!
13:01:35  elliott: That's weird; "/server blah" is supposed to just connect to blah, not edit the server list.
13:02:01  ("/SERVER disconnects the server in active window and connects to the new one. It will take the same arguments as /CONNECT.")
13:02:44  I never liked that /server command in irssi. I was always worried that I'd accidentally disconnect.
13:02:49  fizzie: Or was it /server add?
13:02:55  Apparently it was: /server add -6 irc.freenode.net
13:02:56  That would make more sense.
13:03:05  It's nice that it did the right thing.

13:04:31  elliott: The right thing to do with Irssi is to add a network (/network add Freenode IIRC), add a server to that (/server add -auto -network Freenode -6 irc.freenode.net IIRC) and connect using the network name (/connect Freenode IIRC).
13:05:08  That’ll let you add alternative servers in case one is down and it will also connect correctly on startup.
13:05:14  I believe this was already done, and the point was just to modify the settings of the server.
13:05:26  And you’ll be able to add channels to be joined automatically to networks.
13:05:49 -!- sebbu has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
13:05:50  ion: I did that!
13:05:59  ion: My network has one (1) server.
13:06:02  I never anticipate it having any more.
13:06:10  My freenode server has the host name "freenode", and my ircnet server is called "ircnet". (The bouncer listens to all connections in the same port and differentiates networks by the password, but irssi refuses to accept multiple identical host:port servers, so I have to use dummy names and /set proxy_address 127.0.0.1, which is stupid.)
13:06:27  elliott: what network?
13:06:28  fizzie: Do people actually use IRCNet?
13:06:33  oklopol: f re node
13:06:34  finnish people do
13:06:36  Sure.
13:06:44  no one else
13:06:48  IRCnet is probably the most popular network among Finns.
13:07:43  And now, a languages joke: http://i.imgur.com/fIB5o.png
13:07:49  http://irc.netsplit.de/tmp/networks/top10_2012u.png -- it's still quite high up there.
13:08:18  Beats Undernet and EFnet in users quite clearly.
13:08:48  Also Freenode has an interestingly strong week-periodic thing, stronger than the other networks.
13:09:03  I suppose it's because SERIOUS BUSINESSMEN use it for SERIOUS BUSINESS.
13:09:08  EFnet scares me a bit.
13:09:36  i've used quakenet, freenode, ircnet, ef
13:09:40  aaand dal
13:09:41  I thought EFnet was at least bigger than Undernet.
13:09:52  I've used those same networks as o.
13:09:53  ef is kind of iffy
13:10:12  I'm currently on QuakeNet, FreeNode, IRCnet, EFnet, and OFTC, and I've also used Undernet and maybe Rizon.
13:10:31  I'm no longer in anywhere else than Freenode and IRCnet. :/
13:11:27  And I've been on Ustream and other specific things with non-IRC-client programs.
13:11:41  i'm on free and quake because those are the only places where people get sad if i don't show up on channels, and i can't manage to make irc autoconnect when my computer explodes and i have to restart.
13:11:56  what the heck is webchat
13:12:09  fizzie: Can you write an identd for me?
13:12:48  What it should do is if you have an ~/.identrc it runs that passing the server that's asking for the identity, and uses its output as the identity.
13:12:56  oklopol: http://webchat.xs4all.nl/ I think
13:12:57  I don't think I can be bothered.
13:13:07  fizzie: Okay, but how about: reconsider?
13:13:13  so how many shoes do you people have, i apparently have like 10 pairs
13:13:17  Deewiant: It's listed as a network, though.
13:13:24  Deewiant: That one connects to real networks.
13:13:36  fizzie: Oh, darn, missed that.
13:13:42  I only read most of the left column.
13:13:58  It seems to mean irc.webchat.org.
13:14:03  most of them don't even have a sole
13:14:14  Which is some kind of a thing.
13:14:17  And there's also www.webchat.org, which is its homepage.
13:14:25  Yes, but I don't understand it.
13:14:39  Deewiant: Do YOU use an identd??? Wait, maybe you answered already.
13:14:46  elliott: Nope.
13:14:54  elliott: (Can't you tell with /whois?)
13:15:06  Deewiant: That would be... cheating.
13:15:06  I've used the XS4ALL webchat from some HTTP-only airports.
13:15:46  oklopol: Not enough: I need to buy new shoes ASAP because there is lots of snow everywhere and all my current shoes result in wet socks in such an environment.
13:16:18  Deewiant: Speaking of whois, what's this as47215.net all about? It seems to be some kind of a German webhost/colo place.
13:16:54  i have the same problem
13:17:04  fizzie: Yes, I have a virtual server from DE.Punkt.
13:17:04  guys
13:17:14  maybe you should live somewhere it doesn't snow
13:17:16  and i actually prolly have better suited shoes but changing shoes is such an emotional rollercoaster.
13:17:33  fizzie: I (think I) changed the RDNS now via the Web UI, but if it worked it hasn't propagated yet.
13:18:25  Why does freenode even bother to make ident requests?
13:18:26  Well, I can query their nameservers directly, of course; it did work.
13:18:28  I mean, it's 2012.
13:19:37  I guess I'll install oidentd since nullidentd requires inetd. But still, ew.
13:21:09  oklopol: I have something like five or six pairs of shoes maybe, if you count everything? But only one pair of borderline sensible winter ones.
13:21:30  All the shoes are kind of different type of shoes, I don't really have redundant shoes.
13:21:31  I have one (1) pair of shoes I actually wear.
13:21:33  They're awful.
13:22:07  My wife takes care of the redundant shoe ownership tasks in our household, which is I think a reasonably common setup.
13:22:15  I have three pairs of outdoor shoes currently, two of which are redundant in the sense that I use them only when it's warm, and interchangeably.
13:22:35  fizzie: If alt+ produces "OD" and "OC" for left and right respectively, what's misconfigured?
13:22:38  I'm so sick of this stuff not working.

13:26:09  http://www.freenode.net/certfp/certfp-irssi.shtml guys what is this about
13:26:20  it seems to be a totally different thing to the things i have been setting up
13:26:22 -!- Arc_Koen has joined.
13:26:27  it's... setting yourself up a certificate so freenode can verify you??? what is this
13:26:38  is this the sasl stuff
13:26:44  Yes, it seems to be a client certificate.
13:26:47  that i have a script handle for me
13:26:50  I did not know they even did client certificates.
13:26:50  right but what is that
13:26:56  does it have a point???
13:27:04  it looks sort of like you can get passwordless logins by doing this
13:27:12  but i have no idea how it differs from sasl in terms of goodness or whatever
13:27:23  It's X.509, it's like X-X-Xcellent.
13:27:55  "CertFP allows clients connected via SSL with a client SSL certificate to authenticate to services using the SHA1 fingerprint of their client SSL certificate. One must have registered with services."
13:28:02  I wonder if this is some kind of a new dealie.
13:28:33  this seems possibly fancier than sasl??
13:28:55  It seems vaguely sensible in the sense that if you're doing SSL already, it's sort of in the same rigamarole.
13:29:10  I wonder if they've managed to not screw up the cloak thing when authenticating over that thing, though.
13:29:29  Since the usual nickserv-pass-in-PASS thing they did screw up.
13:29:33  Cloaks work for me with SASL if that helps?
13:29:40  And I've used NickServ pass in server password for forever.
13:29:44  My cloak's always worked.
13:30:24  SASL is I think the only guaranteed thing.
13:30:47  With server-pass it sometimes doesn't manage to enable the cloak before joining, if services are being laggy.
13:31:02  I hear SASL is sometimes non-guaranteed i.e. times out or something.
13:31:19  I guess that might happen. But when it works, it always happens before anything else can happen.
13:32:07  Now, if you want to verify the Freenode server SSL certificate against a certificate authority (CA), then you’ll need to download the CA certificate from the authority that signed the server certificate. In this case, its Gandi.net, and their CA certificate file can be found here: http://crt.gandi.net/GandiStandardSSLCA.crt. However, using the file in its native DER format for Irssi wasn’t working for me. So, using openssl, I converted the bina
13:32:14   be found here: http://crt.gandi.net/GandiStandardSSLCA.crt. However, 
13:32:17                     using the file in its native DER format for Irssi wasn’t working for me. So, using openssl, I converted the binary 
13:32:20                     DER data file to PEM format, at which the Freenode certificate would properly verify:
13:32:23  Sometimes I just don't trust technology, you know?
13:32:24  (TODO: Get that wrapping thing being a thing.)
13:33:56  Mhm, bip can do client SSL certificates, maybe I should also set up that Freenode thing.
13:34:00  Though later.

13:36:48  I guess that isn't terribly reassuring.
13:37:04  Is there no SSL IPv6 service or something?
13:37:17  Why are you using a server in the USA?
13:37:18  That doesn't sound like it'd make sense.

13:37:57  Not having SSL for the IPv6.
13:38:02  elliott: Yeah, and I question the sensibility of that.
13:38:20  Deewiant: Well, what would you rather I do? List a bunch of servers manually and keep that up to date?
13:38:27  I'm using chat.eu.freenode.net; it's a compromise.
13:38:38  This server is in London anyway, that's basically the US.
13:39:00  I think I'm also using chat.eu.freenode.net, possibly with one manually listed server before that.
13:39:17  elliott: did you know someone could get the nick ehird right now if they wanted to
13:39:19  "Shame they don’t allow auto-identification using client-side SSL certificates, like OFTC does." "@bloogle Yeah, but the SASL auth is every bit as good, if not better if using DH-BLOWFISH"
13:39:21  Okay, I also have lindbohm manually before it, but it's all cyclic so it's not really "prioritized".

13:40:29  Not 'ardly!
13:40:33  elliott: By the way, is there an equivalent of Bazaar for a Setter?
13:40:41  Foo a b t = (a -> b) -> t
13:41:12  So that Setter s t a b = s -> Foo a b t, of course.
13:42:24  Hey, there's a rajaniemi.freenode.net that's in some "TKK Comnet/FUNET" block, in Finland.
13:42:26  Sounds like you just wrote it?
13:42:28  That's news.
13:43:13  fizzie: I bet you can't change just the server field of an irssi server. :(
13:43:19  elliott: Is there a name for it? Does it have interesting features?
13:43:33  shachaf: It's a monad.
13:44:01  elliott: I bet so too, since it'd identify the server to change by the host:port pair.
13:44:32  Oh.
13:44:35  I set ssl_verify without ssl_cert.
13:44:38  Does that do anything?
13:45:01  elliott: As in (r ->)?
13:45:32  elliott: It sounds like it'll then try to verify the server's certificate against who-knows-what certificates. Ideally the ones in /usr/share.
13:46:59  Deewiant: I set ssl_capath to /etc/ssl/certs.
13:47:00  If that helps.
13:47:11  So is that, like, the right thing?
13:47:55  +
13:47:57  It has the standard set of trusted certs, at least.
13:48:42  /server add -6 -ssl -ssl_verify -ssl_capath /etc/ssl/certs -auto -network freenode chat.eu.freenode.net 6697

13:54:09  I don't have IPv6 connectivity on any machine I own. I could set it up in my LAN but I haven't bothered.
13:54:17  I don't think we have it at work either.

14:00:28  I don't know why it is not working, but why don't you just "nc -6 chat.eu.freenode.net 6667" to see if that goes anywhere? 
14:00:41  Also I have a CLIENT CERTIFICATE now.
14:00:51  I am also using a SECURE CONNECTION.
14:01:19  You are also using a Lithuanian server instead of rajaniemi.
14:02:15  Deewiant: I use chat.eu.freenode.net and you still complain?
14:02:46  13:49:04 -!- - Welcome to barjavel.freenode.net in Paris, FR, EU. 
14:02:53  I... don't think that's Lithuania, Deewiant.
14:03:00  It was about me, I think.
14:03:04  elliott: You are not fizzie.
14:03:23  Deewiant: I put {rajaniemi, lindbohm, chat.eu} to the list, and apparently the cycling thing was at chat.eu at the time when I fixed the stupid bit.
14:03:32  heh
14:04:52  Deewiant: OK but I actually am fizzie.
14:05:14  Oh no, am I elliott then? I... I'm not sure I want to. It sounds difficult.
14:05:20  elliott is fizzie?
14:05:29  WAR is PEACE.
14:05:31  fizzie: I think elliott isn't telling the truth.
14:05:41  fizzie: Is this client certificate stuff easy to set up?
14:05:42  Because Finland ≠ Hexham, right?
14:05:47  Maybe I'll do it næxt.
14:05:57  nc: invalid option -- '6'
14:06:00  fizzie: A good start.
14:06:12 * elliott wonders which of 70 flavours of netcat this is.
14:06:40  elliott: GNU, methinks.
14:06:55  elliott: It was reasonably easy for bip, I don't know about irssi. Probably it's just one setting, since Freenode doesn't actually verify the client certificate, it just uses the fingerprint from it.
14:07:15  Ithinks because recently openbsd-netcat started conflicting with GNU netcat in Arch and I went with GNU and it says the same thing.
14:07:33  Deewiant: Well, *I*thinks no GNU software would say "nc -h for help".
14:07:39  "telnet -6", then.
14:07:42  And not even accept --help.
14:07:52  elliott: Well, you didn't say that bit.
14:08:19  Deewiant: Re the client setting: I was thinking more of the making a certificate part.
14:08:21  (The one I tried with was the netcat-openbsd of Ubuntu something-at-work, and it has a -6.)

14:09:26  What a concept.
14:09:32  Inconceivable!
14:09:39  So um this thing works fine, I am tempted to: blame the whole SSL thing?
14:10:10  Turn off SSL and see if it works in irssi?
14:11:53  I got a v6'd SSL connection just fine, though. But maybe it's worth a try.
14:11:56  Deewiant: But...
14:12:02  Deewiant: What if people spied on me?
14:12:13  If you're only here, you're publically logged anyway.
14:12:31  HTH.
14:12:37  Wow, "publically".
14:12:50  You could also try /connect -6 or something. Though the -6 setting *should* end up in there for listed servers too, I think.
14:13:05  elliott: Don't be elsewhere while you're testing.
14:13:14 -!- imelliott has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
14:14:04  Deewiant: Incidentally, since you found out about Lithuania... does that client certificate fingerprint also show up in /whois to others? 
14:14:37  fizzie: No, only that and "is using a secure connection" apart from the usual.
14:15:45  Hokay. Makes sense.
14:16:00  elliott: Is it also a comonad?
14:16:05  elliott: When a ~ b, that is.

19:21:31  no i mean PBKDF2 with 10,000 iterations

20:13:10  and completely different as far as what it's like to live there
20:13:14  olsner, this is america, they don't like putting things next to other things
20:13:26  well SF itself is a proper dense city
20:13:38  but like every city (in Europe as well) it has sprawling suburbs around it

20:14:44  the proper dense city part of SF is approximately a square 10 km on a side

20:21:10  The accomplishment of today: googled out why the VLC logo is a traffic cone.
20:21:18  "One day, people from the VIA association (VIA is a students' network association with many clubs ... amongst those is VideoLAN. More info here : http://www.via.ecp.fr ) came back drunk with a cone. They then began a cone collection (which is now quite impressive i must say). Some time later, the VideoLAN project began and they decided to use the cone as their logo."
20:21:26  Such a meaningful story.
20:22:29  ah, I collected a cone once ... they're bigger and heavier than you think and end up being not quite as fun as you expect
20:23:23  apparently you can write GCC plugins in Python now O_O  http://gcc-python-plugin.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
20:25:44  Does it mean you do not have to recompile GCC if you want it to do something else?
20:29:14  @tell Sgeo__ You realize ? must have the property a ? (a+k) = a+(k+1) for all natural numbers k?  (also you have to decide whether it should work left or right associatively, like tetration.)
20:29:15  Consider it noted.
20:29:46  zzo38: that is already the case, gcc can load plugins from .so's
