00:24:23 <fizzie> It's the only wiki on fungot's list. (Except technically PA is by crawling a Wikia or some other such thing.)
00:24:23 <fungot> fizzie: you know you can't uh you know you
00:24:25 <Bike> youtube having an api to download comments would be kind of funny.
00:25:06 <fizzie> And there's some material from Project Gutenberg.

00:26:18 <fizzie> Bah schmah, it was a perfectly acceptable shorthand for a person typing on a phone.
00:26:59 <GreyKnight> okay I'll let you off since your phone (presumably) auto-capitalises the first letter
00:27:28 <fizzie> It was capitalized because sentences start with capital letters.
00:27:42 <zzo38> Add the Gutenberg style on fungot
00:27:42 <fungot> zzo38: mother and stepfather raised her and she's just turned eighty she uses her f- she has a
00:27:55 <GreyKnight> capital letters at the start of sentences is a weird rule if you think about it
00:28:09 <fizzie> zzo38 What's the Gutenberg style? Everything in there?
00:28:22 <zzo38> GreyKnight: It is the rule though, despite that.
00:28:39 <zzo38> fizzie: Yes, I would guess so, everything public domain ASCII in there, counting, only.
00:28:59 <Bike> does gutenberg have non-public domain things?
00:29:01 <GreyKnight> throw it out! change ALL the rules! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
00:30:01 <fizzie> zzo38: I'll see if I get around to that.
00:30:34 <fizzie> Also perhaps the Internet style from google-ngram, I think that was on the TODO list too.
00:31:20 <fizzie> (It's not all of the Internet, it's just billion words from there.)
00:31:58 <Bike> oh, you know what would be fun, if a bit annoying to do? download the geocities archive and scrape text from that.
00:32:04 <elliott> 00:21:32 <fizzie> Wiki is from the XML or SQL dump, I forget which one.
00:32:07 <elliott> No I mean the lyrics wiki thing.
00:32:16 <elliott> IIRC most of the time it is just "we can't show this because copyrights" though, but maybe they have dumps??
00:32:22 <elliott> I think it's a wikia thing or whatever.
00:33:55 <fizzie> They didn't have dumps when I last checked. Or I couldn't find any.
00:34:21 <fizzie> I was looking for a song lyric language model for other reasons.
00:34:40 <zzo38> Then call it google-ngram style
00:34:44 <FreeFull> I wonder if anyone wrote a tracker (music tool) in haskell
00:34:48 <zzo38> If that is what it is.
00:35:12 <shachaf> google-ngram style? I hear that song is pretty popular these days.
00:35:16 <zzo38> FreeFull: I tried starting to write CsoundMML in Haskell, but now I am writing CsoundMML in C. There are other music stuff in Haskell
00:35:51 <zzo38> shachaf: Is it even a song?
00:36:02 <shachaf> zzo38: I think it's Korean.
00:36:25 <FreeFull> zzo38: But that wouldn't be a tracker at all
00:36:43 <zzo38> FreeFull: Correct, they aren't, but I don't know of a tracker music in Haskell though.
00:37:42 <zzo38> But maybe someone make CsoundTracker too some day; I have some ideas how it could work directly with Csound score files, using all of its feature (tempo change, repeats, comments, function tables, etc), but I do not intend to write it at this time.
00:37:48 <zzo38> First I will write CsoundMML
00:38:49 <FreeFull> http://canonical.org/~kragen/bytebeat/
00:39:21 <Bike> "new genre of music"
00:39:32 <Bike> oh, these things. they're fun. took a while to figure out how to do it with pulse though.
00:39:39 <zzo38> O yes I think I have seen thing like that before.
00:40:56 <FreeFull> I'm thinking this would be trivial to implement in Haskell
00:41:12 <kmc> T R I V I A L
00:41:14 <FreeFull> Also I pondered a tracker that would allow you to create synths by entering a formula
00:41:46 <FreeFull> I made an rpn parser that does that but didn't write the rest of the tracker
00:41:49 <zzo38> Csound can kind of do that, create synths by entering a formula.
00:41:53 <shachaf> Don't you have a fullwidth keyboard layout?
00:43:24 <kmc> haskell people use it to mean "our shit is so theoretically awesome that it doesn't matter if it actually works"
00:43:29 <kmc> you know all that engineering is "trivial"
00:43:36 <kmc> also it's just generally a douchebag way to say "easy"
00:43:39 <zzo38> FreeFull: But if you want to modify other tracker programs for .S3M format or whatever, to allow formula to be entered instead of load a file, you can try to do that.
00:43:44 <FreeFull> Well writing a bytebeat thing is trivial in any language
00:43:52 <HackEgo> 144) <fizzie> It's like mathematicians, where the next step up from "trivial" is "open research question". <fizzie> "Nope... No...This problem can't be done AT ALL. This one--maybe, but only with two yaks and a sherpa. ..." \ 173) <elliott> So it's not exactly trivial. [Later about same thing] <elliott> It's a trivial C program :P
00:44:00 <FreeFull> zzo38: That sounds too hackish
00:44:23 <kmc> this bytebeat stuff is cool
00:44:27 <FreeFull> In mathematics, often it can't be proven that something can't be done either
00:44:38 <zzo38> FreeFull: Is Csound format OK?
00:44:52 <FreeFull> Data.Bits pretty much would do most of the stuff for you
00:45:08 <FreeFull> zzo38: Does CSound do bitwise operators?
00:45:16 -!- sebbu has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
00:45:21 <zzo38> FreeFull: Yes, actually it does.
00:45:22 <kmc> it reminds me of crystal castles
00:45:44 -!- sebbu has joined.
00:45:58 <zzo38> Nevertheless you have to deal with difference of k-rate and a-rate and so on, but many operators work on a-rate, and you can use UDO to change the k-rate to the same as the a-rate if you need to.
00:46:19 <MDude> It'd be neat to make a parser built into a little hardware thing also takes various audio inputs as extra variables.
00:46:19 <FreeFull> So I could do something like t & (t >> 3) and have it output something?
00:46:32 <MDude> Though I guess I wouldn't really use such a thing much.
00:46:46 <FreeFull> MDude: Someone made a parser that consists of a tiny chip, a battery and an audio jack
00:46:48 <Bike> Well writing a bytebeat thing is trivial in any language <-- sez you, arithmetic overflow isn't even defined to do that in C, is it?
00:46:52 -!- augur has joined.
00:47:10 <zzo38> FreeFull: It is not quite that simple, and the syntax is not the same as C, but basically I think it would work.
00:47:34 <FreeFull> And if you use 16/32 bit ints in C, you can just cut off the top bits with &255 every time

00:48:04 <FreeFull> Bike: I'm not implementing a bytebeat interpreter in brainfuck
00:48:08 <zzo38> In order to make it allow to do by a single command, and using the C format, might be possible to make a plugin with such feature.
00:48:13 <FreeFull> Hell, I'm not implementing anything in brainfuck. Screw that
00:48:31 <MDude> That's kind of the idea, though.
00:48:44 <kmc> would be nice to implement some of these using discrete logic chips
00:48:48 <ais523> BF is pretty easy to write in compared to many esolangs
00:48:53 <zzo38> Csound plugins can be written in a few different programming languages: C, C++, Lua, Python, and Csound.
00:49:31 <FreeFull> ais523: I'm not going to write in those either
00:50:19 <ais523> this seems like a decided lack of ambition for this channel
00:50:23 <ais523> I wrote a BF interp in Unlambda once
00:50:26 * FreeFull checks out stuff people have done with bytebeat while he wasn't looking at it
00:51:12 <zzo38> FreeFull: I have a Csound plugin license under LGPL, so if you have a C code compatible with that, I will make it into an additional command in this Csound plugin.
00:53:01 <FreeFull> Probably wouldn't be compatible
00:54:47 <zzo38> What programming language did you write a rpn parser?
00:56:14 <FreeFull> But it's basically one big switch statement with some strcmp mixed in
00:56:33 <zzo38> If I see what you have then I might be able to work it.
00:56:45 <FreeFull> I don't think it would be worth it

01:01:38 <Phantom_Hoover> 'faster than any computable' function is one of those things that still completely blows my mind

01:03:34 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
01:05:48 <MDude> Hmm, wait a minute. I was going to say something about a function using !x, but apparently various calculator thigns aren't parsing ! like I thought they would.
01:05:50 <Bike> the ones that are weird for me are the ones that grow slower than any computable (monotonically increasing) function
01:06:43 <Bike> factorial is slow compared to ackermann, which is slow compared to bb/goodstein/whatever.
01:06:46 <Phantom_Hoover> Bike, hmm, like... 1-1/f(x) where f is supercomputable?
01:07:54 <elliott> Bike: wow, I hadn't realised such a function could exist until now
01:08:05 <Bike> Phantom_Hoover: the one I know is the function creeping up on kolmogorov complexity from underneath (f(x) = min{C(a) such that a >= x})
01:08:08 <MDude> Yeah, you what about factorialing a number a number of times equal to its factorial?
01:08:14 <elliott> I'm going full constructivist and forgetting anything uncomputable even exists
01:08:22 <Bike> elliott: was my reaction as well
01:08:25 <elliott> MDude: that's obviously computable
01:08:42 <ais523> it's primitive recursive, in fact
01:08:48 <elliott> j = n; for (i = 0; i < fact(n); i++) j = fact(j);
01:08:54 <ais523> do non-primitive-recursive total functions exist?
01:09:04 <ais523> I mean, that can't be emulated by primitive recursive
01:09:16 <Bike> that is the point of ackermann, isn't it...?
01:09:17 <elliott> ais523: whether a function is primitive recursive is decidable
01:09:20 <elliott> whether a function is total is not
01:09:32 <MDude> I was htinking mroe of comparing it to demo complexity, but I suppose that was already considered.
01:09:52 <elliott> ais523: if you could write all total functions primitive recursively, you wouldn't have any need for Turing-complete languages
01:10:01 <elliott> because you'd have a language you can check, and that represents all programs that matter
01:10:05 <Bike> and we'd live in a bugless fairy utopia!
01:10:23 <GreyKnight> yep, Ackermann is total but not primitive recursive
01:10:44 <ais523> Anarchy is going to be total except where marked otherwise
01:10:54 <ais523> or more specifically, the compiler will try to prove totality and give a warning if it can't
01:11:12 <ais523> basically, because most algos you'd actually want to write in it are easy to prove total
01:11:21 <ais523> GreyKnight: warning, that would be a stupid way to make a language sub-TC
01:12:07 <GreyKnight> I've been writing C++ all week so I was starting to believe pointlessly exasperating errors were a normal language feature, my bad
01:12:51 <elliott> ais523: so it's going to be partial
01:12:55 <elliott> and you have a compiler that gives warnings
01:13:03 <elliott> your stated property has zip to do with the language
01:13:28 <ais523> well, unless you use -Werror
01:13:48 <FreeFull> GreyKnight: They are to C++, if you use templates
01:15:41 <kmc> yeah C++ error messages are usually pretty awful
01:15:44 <kmc> depends a lot on compiler though
01:15:51 <kmc> try clang++ and recent GCC
01:16:39 <elliott> i've started writing those bytebeat things again
01:17:00 <GreyKnight> it's a nigh-unmaintainable mess that only compiles in Borland 4, which is from like 1990+something

01:17:20 <elliott> randomly generating them would be cool

01:18:32 <kmc> i'm surprised that bytebeat hasn't shown up in ioccc more
01:18:42 <MDude> I tried just shoving randomly generated characters into IBNIZ, but it dind't tend to do much interesting.

01:39:14 <kmc> is "let" widely supported?
01:39:27 <elliott> i think the major browsers support it
01:39:52 <GreyKnight> ais523: BTW is your Algol thing above the same project as:
01:39:57 <HackEgo> 244) <ais523> gah, who'd have thought removing concurrency from algol could be so difficult
01:40:12 <elliott> ais523 has been compiling idealised concurrent algol to hardware since the beginning of time
01:40:13 <kmc> i wouldn't call JS beautiful, but it is better than one would expect from the historical story of how it came about
01:40:22 <elliott> and is currently anticipated to never finish performing this task
01:40:31 <ais523> elliott: nah, we can manage that already
01:40:34 <ais523> we're trying to optimize it now
01:40:54 <elliott> kmc: I'd expect better of a language whose origin story is "guy has to make a sort-of-C-like language in N days, tries to make it as much like Scheme" as possible
01:41:03 <elliott> since generally someone who knows Scheme wouldn't get things like basic scoping wrong
01:41:15 <ais523> elliott: he knew it was wrong at the time
01:41:20 <ais523> just he was too rushed to do it properly
01:41:25 <MDude> He tries to scheme as much as possible, got it.
01:41:32 <kmc> i don't think it's that broken
01:41:49 <kmc> but whatever
01:41:56 <ais523> he understood lexical scope well enough to write lexical scope that didn't nest, rather than dynamic scope that did (which is just about as easy)
01:41:58 <elliott> MDude: turning your example into (t>>4)/(t>>5)*t%(Math.sqrt(t)*100) gives fun results at the start
01:42:02 <kmc> it does nest
01:42:03 <GreyKnight> I found a comment to that^ effect in some code the other week. It'd been there for about 4 or 5 years
01:42:14 <kmc> it's just that not all of the constructs you have arbitrarily decided look like they should create scopes do
01:42:48 <ais523> well if you're using C-like braces for grouping, you expect them to scope in a C-like way
01:42:55 <elliott> tbh restricting scopes to just functions is pretty ridiculous
01:43:08 <elliott> especially since all these constructs look visually identical but do not create new scopes
01:43:19 <kmc> anyway it's an enormous stroke of luck that javascript was designed by someone who at all understood scoping, or basic functional programming
01:43:26 <Lumpio-> Didn't old C pretty much only do function scoping
01:43:31 <Lumpio-> "All variables at the top or else"
01:43:32 <GreyKnight> the problem with curly-brace languages is how they all look the same but actually aren't :-)
01:43:38 <kmc> more often than not, these languages end up desigend by people with an irrational fear and misunderstanding of very simple things
01:43:41 <kmc> see: python
01:43:59 <kmc> GreyKnight: what, you're saying there's more to a programming language than what kind of punctuation it uses?!?!?
01:44:21 <HackEgo> 158) <ais523> syntax is the least important part of a programming language <ais523> other than Python \ 422) <elliott_> Vorpal: Won't be slower than Python ;-) <Vorpal> elliott_, yeah but that is like saying a T-Ford going down a hill won't be slower than a bicycle uphill on a bumpy road :P
01:44:31 <ais523> kmc: 158 is what I was looking for
01:44:38 <elliott> MDude: and ((t-10)>>4)/(t>>5)*t%(Math.sqrt(t>>10)*1000) sounds kind of cool
01:44:40 <GreyKnight> the `quote search should check synonyms obviously
01:45:06 <zzo38> No, I think it shouldn't check synonyms.
01:45:08 <kmc> i only have one major complaint with Python syntax, but it's a pretty big one
01:45:26 <ais523> kmc: I lost my first Python program because the whitespace got mangled somehow
01:45:32 <elliott> hmm, if you have t progressing from 0 to infinity, you can get 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3 by t%4
01:45:41 <elliott> is there a nice short way of getting 0, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 0, ...
01:45:48 <hagb4rd> (t>>3)*cos(t) <-- that was the best one for now.. just need to get it less noissy
01:45:51 <elliott> 0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1, 0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1 is fine too
01:45:58 <GreyKnight> zzo38: BTW you might like this: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.gopher.general/4481
01:47:00 <MDude> Since it's obviously the square root that slows things donw, I tried (t>>4)/(t>>5)*t%(Math.sqrt(t%100000)*100)
01:47:13 <zzo38> GreyKnight: Domain name I have is OK
01:47:31 <MDude> And also messed around with the size of the number after t%.
01:47:45 <shachaf> The broken thing about JavaScript's scoping is that {} doesn't create a new scope?
01:48:00 <kmc> that is the claim, yes
01:48:23 <elliott> MDude: haha when that exploded half-way through was a nice surprise
01:48:51 <Bike> hm, triangle wave with arithmetic, i dunno...
01:48:52 <GreyKnight> but zzo38.gopher would be a cool alternate name B-)
01:49:11 <elliott> it's not zzo38, it's his computer
01:49:14 <zzo38> I also dislike the way they make up TLDs like that.
01:49:35 <zzo38> And I have services on at least two other protocols, and may add more additionally, later on, too.
01:50:36 <Bike> Oh, hm, maybe you could do that by fucking with two's complement.
01:50:41 <GreyKnight> well, ICANN are making up TLDs as well now, so. Except selling them for £bignum
01:50:52 <Bike> no... no i don't think that would work
01:51:14 <zzo38> I don't like ICANN's making up TLDs either
01:51:29 <GreyKnight> maybe we should just scrap DNS and start over :-/
01:51:58 <Bike> wait for ipv6 to be adopted, give everyone and their mother a stable ip, all problems solved forever
01:51:59 <kmc> shachaf: my laptop left Japan this morning (boston time) and is supposed to arrive at my door tomorrow
01:52:01 <zzo38> But I have DHCP so maybe the address might change
01:52:21 <GreyKnight> e.g. the company Johnson & Johnson put in to own ".baby". Even if we take as read that this TLD should exist, why should they be the ones to own it?
01:52:21 <hagb4rd> (t>>6|t|t>>(t>>16))*10+((t>>11)&7)
01:52:43 <elliott> well you might as ask why ICANN should own everything
01:52:48 <shachaf> (Is your door in Boston? Some people have lots of doors.)
01:52:48 <elliott> and the answer is because they were there first
01:52:53 <elliott> just like Johnson & Johnson
01:52:55 <kmc> shachaf: timezoneconverter.com has the worst UI
01:53:04 <kmc> i wonder if the top google hit for "time zone converter" will ever be not that :(
01:53:08 <elliott> kmc: google "time in $timezone"
01:53:22 <elliott> "3 am utc in pdt" etc. works iirc
01:53:22 <kmc> useful but i do want to convert times that aren't now
01:53:27 <shachaf> elliott: That only works for right now.
01:53:39 <elliott> ok it doesn't actually work
01:54:03 <elliott> wait wasn't this in one of the videos, it sounds familiar
01:54:21 <kmc> it left Anchorage, Alaska like an hour ago
01:54:21 <elliott> kmc: wolframalpha can do it anyway
01:55:28 <shachaf> elliott: What about 0,1,2,3,3,2,1,0,1,2,3,3,2,1,0,1
01:55:32 <zzo38> It is why I wanted to make up the new international network, perhaps called "HyperNet" which is 100% decentralized, and gets rid of stupid stuff like HTML/CSS/JavaScript/HTTP/PDF/StupidStuff/etc/etc/etc/etc too.
01:55:49 <ais523> zzo38: what would it use instead?
01:55:53 <elliott> zzo38: but StupidStuff is my favourite technology
01:56:10 <shachaf> abs(((x + 3) % 7 - 3) % 4)?
01:56:15 <shachaf> Hmm, that's too complicated.
01:56:16 <zzo38> ais523: Just plain ASCII text (or, if not English, using their encoding)
01:56:57 <ais523> that way you wouldn't have to guess the encoding
01:57:53 <zzo38> ais523: Well, you can use UTF-8 if you want, or whatever
01:57:53 -!- GreyKnight has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds).
01:57:54 <elliott> shachaf: that sort of works but is a bit inconvenient
01:58:01 -!- GreyKnight has joined.
01:59:02 <ais523> elliott: abs(x % 8 - 3) almost works
01:59:13 <ais523> that's 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 0…
01:59:36 <zzo38> It is probably much slower than internet, although, this also is advantage which allows working over nearly any physical systems, and prevents the government or whoever from spying on you or deleting things, and also with a lot more security must be included in the system, to allow updates similar to wiki or in other ways.
01:59:39 <ais523> or abs(x % 6 - 2) is 2 1 0 1 2 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 2 1 0…
01:59:58 <shachaf> Not sure what the point of the % 4 was.
02:00:08 <elliott> ais523: that's good enough
02:00:26 <ais523> yes, it's not what you asked for, but I thought it might be what you wanted
02:00:53 <shachaf> I think ais523 has inside information.
02:01:09 <zzo38> The standard encoding is considered ASCII rather than UTF-8, not only because Unicode is too complicated, but also to avoid homograph attacks and stuff like that. Nevertheless, you can use whatever encoding you need for the file you are posting.
02:01:15 <shachaf> Also ais523's thing is obviously a derivative work.
02:01:22 <elliott> ais523: hmm, where is the 8 even coming from?
02:01:53 <elliott> so it is abs(x % k*2 - (k-1))
02:02:04 <FreeFull> > iterate (\x -> (abs (x % 6 - 2)))

02:04:18 <zzo38> In order to make decentralized 100% one of my ideas is that duplicate addresses are allowed, addresses can change as often as you want, needs no relevance to physical locations or hardware, and can be considered as coordinates in an infinite-dimensional space.
02:05:37 <hagb4rd> (t>>8|t|t>>(t>>6))*6+((t>>4)&7)
02:06:02 <Bike> GreyKnight: tbh i don't think central addressing is the way forward for worldeating nanobots
02:06:04 <kmc> zzo38: and how will routing work?
02:06:40 <MDude> I was considering making a system where adresses are actually relative, though it was more an alternative to usb than to the internet.
02:07:03 <zzo38> kmc: There is no routing; that is why it is so slow.
02:07:23 <kmc> you are more honest than most protocol designers
02:07:46 <ais523> this sounds like a pretty esoteric network
02:08:00 -!- GreyKnight has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds).
02:08:08 <ais523> do you require that each address has only finitely many nonzero coordinates?
02:08:09 <kmc> do the packets just kind of meander around until they arrive at their destination by happenstance?
02:08:18 <MDude> With relative addressing, how it works is that for each routher/switch whatever, you ahve a part of the adress that says what physical connection to forward the signal through.
02:08:29 <zzo38> ais523: Yes, it would have to; but there is no limit.
02:08:31 -!- GreyKnight has joined.
02:08:40 <MDude> To like for one that has three connections you jsut have a bit that says to turn either right or left.
02:09:00 <GreyKnight> <ais523> this sounds like a pretty esoteric network <-- "perfect"
02:09:16 <HackEgo> zzo38: 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.)
02:09:17 <ais523> MDude: didn't telephones used to work like that?
02:09:22 <ais523> each digit in the number was parsed by a different switch
02:09:33 <ais523> and told it which other switch to connect to
02:09:39 <shachaf> `run sed -i 's/ and deployment//' wisdom/welcome
02:09:43 <Bike> i thought telephones used to work by asking an operator to figure it out for you
02:09:50 <ais523> Bike: that was even earlier
02:09:59 <zzo38> kmc: Kind of. You can know which address is closer to the target. Also, you might not need a target if you have an old copy of the data (which anyone might archive, even if they don't know what it is), and if you have the key you can decrypt it. So, it can be meant for everyone with the key, rather than only one target.
02:10:02 <HackEgo> shachaf: Welcome to the international hub for esoteric programming language design! 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.)
02:10:16 <MDude> Though I would try to add packets to that, instead of it needing to be a continuous circuit.
02:10:18 <kmc> zzo38: do you know about distributed hash tables
02:10:19 <Bike> also hm, this seems a bit like how i think freenode works
02:10:25 <shachaf> GreyKnight: Thanks, but it's just not the same.
02:10:31 <zzo38> And new versions can override old versions, sort of like git or other source code repositories, or similar to a wiki a bit
02:10:43 <kmc> Bike: freenet, you mean? or something else?
02:10:46 <GreyKnight> shachaf: yours didn't have deployment for some reason
02:10:50 <Bike> um. yes. DHTs and all.
02:12:08 <shachaf> kmc: You should make a distributed content-addressed thing that everyone uses for everything.
02:12:20 <ais523> hey, have we ever actually deployed an esolang?
02:12:21 <kmc> hm not only could you implement bytebeat music in discrete logic, you could build a board with the necessary components and have a plugboard to change the way it connects together
02:12:30 <ais523> I mean, apart from me talking to the Debian packagers about INTERCAL?

02:16:03 <MDude> Oh, and Hackego found out he can't find nothing.

02:17:19 <ais523> MDude: deployment's basically shipping something out to as many people as possible, in the computing world
02:17:37 <ais523> the other common usage of the term is to do with deploying troops
02:17:39 <hagb4rd> in fact an unsolved problem is how nothing can weight so little

02:17:56 <Bike> I got the same locally. I wonder what the hell it means.
02:18:25 <zzo38> GreyKnight: Yes I should. Note that everything is encrypted, and that you can use QR codes or ham radio or disks or even over internet whatever; therefore it is unblockable.

02:33:48 <ais523> GreyKnight: basically graue used to spam-filter things by regexing against the entire HTTP request
02:33:56 <ais523> at least, that's what we /think/ was happening
02:34:05 <ais523> someone made a spam page with a spam link in its URL, somehow
02:34:17 <ais523> and all attempts to edit it were failing because the spam link was part of the referer
02:34:43 <ais523> we figured it out eventually
02:34:49 <ais523> after we couldn't even get to the main page from the spam page
02:35:10 <Bike> now i want to try making pages named after spam websites all over wikia.

02:43:09 <sgeo> Also, related to Factor but unrelated to my issues: Bike: It just occurred to me today that you could put quotations in the values for throw-restart and then call after that
02:43:19 -!- GreyKnight has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
02:43:23 <ais523> I think it's funier if you just add the pronoun
02:43:24 <shachaf> Is Factor the new Clojure, sgeo?
02:43:28 <sgeo> shachaf, maybe
02:43:42 <sgeo> Except the lack of a community scares me
02:43:44 <Bike> sounds inconvenient
02:43:55 <ais523> shachaf: how long will it be before there's a programming language equivalent of "black is the new black"?
02:44:08 <Bike> java is the new c++, I think i've heard before
02:44:14 <sgeo> Although the relative lack of libraries scares me
02:44:18 -!- sebbu has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds).
02:44:22 <sgeo> Although it does come with plenty of cool stuff
02:44:57 <ais523> Bike: you have to be able to put the same name on both sides
02:45:04 <MDude> Wait, a language with a lack of community?
02:45:11 <Bike> perl is the new perl? i dunno
02:45:12 <ais523> in order to do this, "X is the new Y" has to become a meme, with variable X and fixed Y
02:45:15 <kmc> shit is the new shit
02:45:17 <ais523> or vice versa, but that's less likely
02:45:22 * MDude immediatly starts using it.
02:45:40 <Bike> you can't force a snowclone.
02:45:41 <ais523> MDude: lots of esolangs have no community, unless you count this one
02:45:48 <ais523> some have no community even if you count this one
02:45:52 <kmc> a language for misanthropes you say! sign me up!!!
02:45:57 <shachaf> ais523: The thing that's going to be fixed here is new, not Y.
02:45:59 <ais523> you won't find anyone in here willing to program in ESME, for instance
02:45:59 <sgeo> MDude, there's a Factor community, but it's ... small
02:46:11 <Bike> @google esolang esme
02:46:13 <ais523> shachaf: gah, now I'm trying to calculate fix new in my head
02:46:15 <ais523> but new has the wrong type
02:46:27 <ais523> oh, Esme, sorry, not ESME

02:46:58 <Bike> oh sorry, a "lol"
02:47:02 <ais523> Bike: read the talk page too, if you like
02:47:06 <ais523> we're… not entirely sure
02:47:09 <kmc> Bike: lulz epic fail
02:47:14 <ais523> the most charitable explanation is, we think it's performance art
02:47:16 * kmc jumps off nearest bridge
02:47:27 <MDude> When I first saw it, I was expecting it to be "esme, Mario!"
02:47:36 <Bike> user:zzo38, you are the wind beneath my wings
02:47:40 <kmc> reminds me of http://esolangs.org/wiki/Most_ever_Brainfuckiest_Fuck_you_Brain_fucker_Fuck
02:47:42 <ais523> it fits in quite well as performance art
02:47:42 <MDude> But I guess that would be Eseme.
02:47:51 <elliott> kmc: that is oklopol's best language imo
02:47:55 <ais523> even if it doesn't fit in well as anything else
02:47:58 <Bike> kmc: beautiful
02:48:14 <ais523> kmc: I think I started the conversation that lead to that being invented
02:48:55 <ais523> the idea was to create a language as unlike brainfuck as possible
02:49:24 <kmc> oh, i kind of figured it was meant to evoke an incredibly complicated way of arriving at a sequence of instructions drawn from 8 possibilities
02:49:53 <ais523> making it a BF derivative would defeat the entire point
02:50:06 <kmc> also are there any web frameworks yet for Real Fast Nora's Hair Salon 3: Shear Disaster Download
02:50:25 <kmc> Real Fast Nora's Hair Salon 3: Shear Disaster Download on Rails
02:50:30 <Bike> I thought the point was satire by making the "brainfuck in a weird encoding" thing seem ridiculous.
02:50:38 <ais523> cpressey is good at naming languages creatively
02:50:48 <kmc> zzo38 is a master of playing it straight
02:51:07 <ais523> I named a language the sound that's written in IPA as /ˈæmbiːɛf/ in homage to the way he names things

02:55:35 <elliott> `run sed -i 's/implementation/implementation/' wisdom/welcome
02:55:52 <shachaf> elliott: If you want me to stop removing it, you should tell me what it's for.
02:55:54 <ais523> elliott: that's a no-op, isn't it?
02:56:09 <elliott> `run sed -i 's/implementation/deployment/' wisdom/welcome
02:56:11 <ais523> or is there malicious Unicode in there somewhere?
02:56:17 <elliott> shachaf: I think there are easier ways to get you to stop removing it
02:56:33 <ais523> anyway, I think I've deployed at least two esolangs now
02:56:41 <shachaf> ais523: What does the "deployment" mean in `welcome?
02:56:43 <ais523> so I'm probably beating the rest of you
02:56:46 <ais523> shachaf: it means "deployment"
02:56:50 <ais523> what did you expect it to mean?
02:56:52 <shachaf> ais523: OK, what's it for?
02:57:02 -!- NihilistDandy has quit (Client Quit).
02:57:39 <ais523> shachaf: have you ever deployed an esolang?
02:57:56 <ais523> if not, you need more welcoming

02:58:49 <ais523> elliott: see [[Pahana]], copyvio? non-esoteric?
02:58:57 <ais523> I'd heard of it before the article was written
02:59:20 <ais523> shachaf: why are you edit warring with elliott?
02:59:54 <shachaf> ais523: Why is elliott edit warring with me?
03:00:07 <ais523> to the version it's been for ages
03:00:24 <ais523> when changing something central like `welcome, it helps to have a good reason for the change
03:00:32 <ais523> especially when most other people seem to disagree with you
03:00:35 <shachaf> What's the " and deployment" for?
03:00:39 <ais523> I didn't rearrange Wikipeia's main page on a whim
03:00:41 <shachaf> As far as I can tell only elliott disagrees with me.
03:00:44 <elliott> there is a reason to assume an action I take with HackEgo is not in bad faith, which doesn't apply for you, since all you do with it is interrupt conversations with passive-aggressive `quotespam and delete stuff
03:00:48 <ais523> shachaf: I also disagree with you
03:00:58 <ais523> Gregor: can we ban shachaf from HackEgo yet?
03:01:30 <elliott> shachaf: I don't see why you feel the need to take actions that you think will result in you being kicked/banned from IRC channels/bots/etc.
03:01:37 <elliott> Isn't that what cheater does?
03:01:50 <shachaf> I don't want to be kicked from this channel?
03:01:54 <ais523> yeah, I take a similar view of that as I do to people who like getting thrown out of games for breaking the rules

03:07:54 <ais523> (GreyKnight is allowed to make them for another couple of months because he's new)
03:08:13 <MDude> fungot, please inform me of feather.
03:08:14 <fungot> MDude: a day and i was telling her that that americans are not patient people we like fast cars and we're like oh if we've gotta save money hey wait a minute y- you know how
03:08:18 <ais523> kmc: to stop your ō getting merged with a vowel before it, obviously
03:08:37 <kmc> today i told some people that ASCII is not sufficient for English
03:09:34 <kmc> also: it lacks the currency symbol of many english speaking countries
03:09:51 <kmc> also: if scotland becomes independent then there will be another currency union in the EU besides the Euro
03:09:55 <kmc> that's funny
03:09:59 <ais523> kmc: it doesn't have £ /or/ €
03:10:23 <kmc> elliott: i guess they agreed with me
03:10:29 <MDude> What would their currency be called?
03:10:33 <kmc> and / or decided to stay quite until the crazy person stopped talking
03:10:38 <kmc> MDude: they would keep using the UK pound
03:10:42 <kmc> it is thought
03:10:45 <elliott> IMO they should adopt the yen
03:10:51 <ais523> they'd use the Scottish pound
03:10:51 <elliott> how great a piece of trivia would that be
03:10:55 <elliott> "did you know Scotland uses the yen?"
03:10:56 <kmc> there is already a strange arrangement where scottish pounds are printed by private scottish banks
03:11:02 <ais523> which is IIRC freely interconvertible 1:1 to the UK pound
03:11:12 <kmc> which are then obliged to hold in reserves of bank of england pounds
03:11:16 <ais523> except that many shops won't accept Scottish money because they're worried it'll be fake
03:11:25 <kmc> i'm worried that scotland is fake
03:11:31 <kmc> i mean, i've never been there
03:11:40 <ais523> like, it's easier to forge or something
03:11:45 <ais523> kmc: it's not very far from Hexham
03:11:51 <ais523> where all esolangers live
03:11:54 <ais523> so you should go there
03:11:56 <kmc> elliott: enjoy your 0% inflation forever
03:12:03 <kmc> hint: this is not good
03:12:38 <elliott> btw I have been to Scotland and I can confirm it is fake
03:12:40 <kmc> my economist friends tell me that the japanese central bank has basically been taken over by old people who want their retirement savings to be valuable, and fuck the young people, we'll be dead by then
03:13:26 <kmc> ais523: is it actually easier to counterfeit or are the shops just dumb
03:13:44 <MDude> If there's no Scotland, then where are people calling when they call Scotland Yard?
03:13:54 <ais523> kmc: I suspect it's easier to counterfeit; but more to the point, the shops don't know what it looks like, so they couldn't detect even quite bad fakes
03:14:11 <ais523> there was that famous incident just after the euro was introduced
03:14:13 <kmc> like the walmart that accepted a $1,000,000 bill with george w bush's face on it
03:14:22 <ais523> where some people got a fortune using fake €300 notes
03:14:30 <ais523> (a nonexistent denomination)
03:14:57 <ais523> kmc: there was also that incident recently where someone tried to cash in a trillion dollars of fake US bonds
03:15:03 <ais523> and got caught because they'd misspelt "dollar"
03:15:18 <ais523> I'm not sure if they would have been caught anyway or not
03:15:23 <ais523> I'm guessing yes, but no makes for a funnier story
03:15:26 <kmc> there were some people caught somewhere in europe with like $10b worth of treasury notes in a suitcase
03:15:34 -!- NihilistDandy has joined.
03:15:46 <ais523> it's pretty crazy either way
03:15:55 <kmc> allegedly counterfeit but the conspiracy theory is that they were real and the US convinced Italy or whoever to destroy them quietly
03:16:44 <kmc> elliott: india is also an english speaking country and their currency symbol isn't in ASCII either
03:16:52 <kmc> but it's also like 3 years old and looks like star wars money
03:17:36 <MDude> Make notes that claim to be for negative amounts of money.
03:17:54 <MDude> Obviously, print it with red ink.
03:18:10 <ais523> kmc: what does star wars money look like?
03:18:23 <ais523> MDude: we've had fun adventures with negative quantities of money in NetHack
03:18:29 <ais523> they're actually practically useful, for their negative weight

05:48:36 <ais523> defend7 is up there, at least
05:48:49 <ais523> defend9 is not going to do well in today's world of stupidly large offset clears
05:49:14 <ais523> haha, it beats /all/ Gregor's programs, apart from the one that's actually jix's
05:49:31 <ais523> and mostly by pretty large margins too
05:49:51 <ais523> also it beats death_to_defence on one polarity, somehow
05:50:25 <ais523> actually that makes no sense
05:50:36 <ais523> htf does one of my old defence programs beat death_to_defence?
05:51:53 <ais523> oh, haha, death_to_defence falls back to a 4-cycle clear :)
05:52:03 <ais523> and defend7's lock works on both 2-cycle clears and 4-cycle clears
05:52:32 <ais523> wow, it wins by just a few cycles
05:53:34 <ais523> it does have a perfect lock
05:53:47 <ais523> just it doesn't look like one because it's not an undetectable perfect lock
05:54:54 <ais523> moral of the story: nested timer clears are hard to get right
05:56:04 <ais523> stupid theory: modern programs spend so long setting up decoys that they can be beaten by a full-tape clear

06:35:11 <elliott> at least, space_hotel is much huger
06:35:26 <elliott> though the basic structure looks similar
06:35:49 <ais523> one thing that worries me is that deep poke + breadcrumb decoys + offset clear is not a strategy that anyone's figured out how to beat yet
06:35:50 <HackEgo> http://codu.org/projects/hackbot/fshg/index.cgi/raw-file/tip/paste/paste.6010
06:36:11 <ais523> apart from leviathan, none of the recent hilltoppers are significantly different from that
06:36:38 <ais523> and the only known way to beat the strategy is to just pull off the same strategy more efficiently
06:36:47 <zzo38> Csound doesn't support looping zero times!
06:37:07 <elliott> `run pastelogs 'space.hotel'
06:37:35 <ais523> you could try to lock the clear loop; that's how defend7 beats Gregor's programs

07:04:06 <ais523> I don't see any way to generalize the technique to beat more than one program, though :(
07:04:54 <ais523> it also works against space_hotel on very short tapes, for the same reason it works on ffspg
07:05:09 <ais523> but won't work on longer tapes because it can't exploit pokes that don't leave trails
07:05:34 <oklopol> "<kmc> oh, i kind of figured it was meant to evoke an incredibly complicated way of arriving at a sequence of instructions drawn from 8 possibilities"
07:05:45 <oklopol> um i'm pretty sure that indeed was the idea.
07:06:25 <ais523> oklopol: oh, I missed the point then
07:06:32 <ais523> haha, it beats dreadnought too
07:06:37 <elliott> ais523: you should write a program that derives a warrior that beats the input warrior
07:06:38 <ais523> for exactly the same reason it beats ffspg
07:06:46 <elliott> it doesn't seem obviously uncomputable
07:06:49 <ais523> elliott: I've had some thoughts about that
07:06:55 <ais523> but there isn't an obvious way to do it that works in all cases
07:07:07 <elliott> ais523: well, you can trivially do it, assuming such a program exists
07:07:09 <elliott> because tape lengths are finite
07:07:34 <elliott> I guess it could be "hard" in the sense that you could use your (quite tiny) state to write a warrior whose behaviour depends on some very complex computation
07:07:34 <lambdabot> elliott: You have 1 new message. '/msg lambdabot @messages' to read it.
07:07:49 <elliott> s.t. it would have to roll that inside out somehow

07:10:29 <ais523> there, it gets a perfect win against two really good warriors
07:14:01 <ais523> I guess I could use some sort of slow undermine
07:14:28 <ais523> but that doesn't work either because programs use a forward decoy setup for their breadcrumb filling

17:03:27 <elliott> Vorpal: depending on yr card the free drivers might work fine
17:03:37 <sgeo> It's the same statue
17:03:43 <sgeo> that's in the SCP-173 image
17:03:47 <Vorpal> elliott, I use opencl, last I checked that didn't work with the free AMD drivers
17:03:47 <sgeo> With its creator
17:03:54 <elliott> tell me more completely obvious facts
17:04:16 <sgeo> I don't know what Phantom_Hoover was asking
17:05:27 <Vorpal> I don't like this, the ETA for the download is counting up at about 2 seconds per second...
17:06:55 <sgeo> http://www.scaithebathhouse.com/en/exhibitions/2005/04/izumi_kato/
17:08:07 <kmc> elliott: so with Nix, does every version of every package you've ever installed stay installed forever?
17:09:06 <elliott> kmc: no it has a (conservative) GC
17:09:28 <kmc> how does it handle things like $PATH
17:09:38 <elliott> kmc: you can think of the nix store as literally a pure programming language's memory
17:09:40 <kmc> if i want to run a python script that starts with "#!/usr/bin/env python", which python does it use
17:09:56 <elliott> uhh I think they keep a /usr/bin/env around
17:10:02 <kmc> also there's no way for it to track references from random scripts i write that aren't in Nix
17:10:05 <elliott> you PATH gets set to the location of your active profile which uses symlinks
17:10:14 <elliott> and the nix-env stuff sets that up
17:10:22 <elliott> you could do this with a unionfs too but they don't
17:10:29 <elliott> 17:10:02 <kmc> also there's no way for it to track references from random scripts i write that aren't in Nix
17:10:39 <elliott> you can specify gc roots explicitly
17:10:47 <elliott> which happens if you install a package explicitly obvs
17:11:00 <elliott> it's not going to remove a package you installed to run a script because it thinks it's unused :P
17:11:18 <kmc> oh, you're saying the things i explicitly ask for are considered roots
17:11:24 <elliott> kmc: because no package manager does that? if your environment references it you want it
17:11:46 <elliott> but if you upgrade a package in your environment then you no longer want the old version
17:11:50 <elliott> or its outdated dependencies etc.
17:12:39 <kmc> so do you think installing nixos on my new laptop is a bad idea or a terrible idea?
17:12:53 <Vorpal> wow, the download ETA displayed in the debian installer is all over the place. They seriously need to add a low pass filter to that thing
17:13:05 <elliott> kmc: well it's new so worst case you can just wipe it and install ubuntu right
17:13:09 <elliott> perfect time to fuck things up
17:14:04 <elliott> they have a nice install guide
17:14:11 <elliott> it's pretty manual last time i checked

17:16:38 -!- GreyKnight has quit (Quit: bbl).
17:17:35 <Vorpal> I tried NixOS in qemu once, and it is awesome. The issue however is that it isn't very mature, there isn't a lot of software already available compared to the more established distros.
17:18:19 <elliott> it's ok kmc doesn't use software

17:22:34 <kmc> i'm willing to do some amount of packaging work myself as well
17:22:48 <kmc> elliott: so what about security of package distribution
17:23:02 -!- Arc_Koen has quit (Quit: The struct held his beloved integer in his strong, protecting arms, his eyes like sapphire orbs staring into her own. "W-will you... Will you union me?").
17:23:03 <kmc> like, one thing i really like about debian is that they are super anal about everything being signed
17:23:11 <kmc> and they understand PKI and trust webs and whatever
17:23:22 -!- Arc_Koen has joined.
17:23:25 <kmc> whereas the rest of the world things "curl http://... | sudo sh -" is a great way to distribute software
17:23:53 <elliott> kmc: I think they might have signed packages? not sure
17:24:21 <elliott> nix supports user-local installs fwiw
17:24:28 <elliott> that doesn't mean the packages themselves are secure
17:24:37 <elliott> but you can limit the damage of a malicious packgae
17:24:50 <elliott> you might want to ask #nixos
17:25:22 <Vorpal> elliott, what if I would install sudo as user-local or something?
17:25:28 <kmc> i don't believe in user-level separation for vanilla linux desktops
17:25:35 <kmc> there are too many ways around it
17:25:52 <elliott> kmc: well it works in nix, they have a very well-thought out system
17:25:54 <Vorpal> elliott, what would it do though? Just remove the suid bit?
17:25:55 <elliott> you can read the paper about it
17:26:00 <elliott> I think NixOS operates in this way by default, not sure
17:26:16 <elliott> kmc: you could turn off the binary support entirely if you want to be paranoid and slow
17:26:34 <elliott> NixOS is actually a source-based distro whose package manager just happens to have an optimisation to download binaries instead
17:26:48 <kmc> elliott: the distribution you use doesn't affect the reasons i consider user isolation useless on a typical linux desktop
17:26:59 <elliott> they also do binary patches which is really cool (and necessary since otherwise library updates would have horrific rippling effects on everything depending on it)
17:27:07 <kmc> the main reason is just that all the shit i care about is in my account
17:27:14 <Vorpal> <kmc> and they understand PKI and trust webs and whatever <-- wasn't it debian who broke openssl security or something by commenting out some code?
17:27:26 <elliott> kmc: well the thing is that it's sort of inherent to the nixos system that his happens, it's not something you specifically install or whatever
17:27:36 <kmc> if an attacker can get my gmail password and all my secret files, why do i care if they also get root
17:27:44 <elliott> there is a global nix store of pure packages and user-local environments
17:27:51 <elliott> not saying this gives you the user additional security
17:28:06 <elliott> well I think you do need root to add to the store by default because they use source-based hashes not binary-based
17:28:09 <elliott> I don't know what you do to flip that over
17:28:22 <kmc> i'm more concerned about whether someone can MITM my connection and send me bad packages
17:28:29 <kmc> which debian prevents using crypto
17:28:43 <kmc> but most people seem to not give a shit about
17:28:50 <kmc> see also: hackage, pypi, etc
17:28:53 <elliott> anyway you should read http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3479976/download/1/nixos/manual.html and http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3488542/download/1/manual/, possibly in reverse order
17:29:02 <elliott> kmc: I don't really think NixOS cares much more than average there yeah
17:29:16 <kmc> at least the new hipster hegemony serves things from github, which has ssl
17:29:16 <elliott> since it skews heavily on the research/experimental side of things
17:29:32 <Vorpal> kmc, arch linux does signed packages nowdays iirc
17:29:33 <kmc> so i only have to trust some brogrammers who kind of understand how to configure rails
17:29:46 <kmc> i'm sure that Red Hat does as well, since they are Serious Business
17:30:41 <Vorpal> Deewiant, does it do split debug symbols properly yet?
17:31:05 <kmc> but i mean "signs packages" is only one part of the story
17:31:17 <kmc> who has keys, and how is trust in those keys established
17:31:37 <Deewiant> https://www.archlinux.org/master-keys/
17:32:08 <kmc> i got into a long argument with the CentOS people about whether serving a SHA1SUMS file from the same directory as the .iso image over unencrypted HTTP was some powerful security measure
17:32:20 -!- sebbu has joined.
17:33:20 <FreeFull> kmc: I think it's more of a measure against corrupted or incomplete downloads anyway
17:33:22 <kmc> it does help against evil mirrors but not against MITM attackers
17:33:48 <kmc> FreeFull: that may be the original intent, but the misconception that it's powerful security is widespread
17:34:41 <Vorpal> what does grub error 15 mean I wonder... sigh
17:34:56 <sgeo> I should probably start actually using SHA1SUMS files
17:35:03 <elliott> I don't even bother verifying checksums
17:35:08 <kmc> shachaf: speaking of XSS holes in CUPS, http://seclists.org/bugtraq/2008/Jan/270

17:36:07 <FreeFull> Vorpal: A file grub expects to be there, isn't
17:36:35 <Vorpal> FreeFull, grub 1 or 2?
17:36:43 <elliott> grub 2 has actual error messages
17:36:47 <elliott> (why are you using grub 1)
17:36:53 <Vorpal> well, why is grub 1 still on sda and sdb then
17:36:55 <kmc> localhost.fbi.gov has address 127.0.0.1
17:36:57 <FreeFull> I used to use grub 1 but now use syslinux
17:37:01 <Vorpal> I guess the installer didn't install on the right MBR?
17:37:15 <elliott> kmc: I doubt internal FBI stuff is on fbi.gov at least
17:37:22 <FreeFull> Vorpal: Possibly, try booting from a different drive
17:37:26 <Vorpal> elliott, I'm not. Or it appears I am because debian installer didn't understand my disk
17:38:01 <kmc> elliott: why do you doubt that
17:38:26 <Vorpal> FreeFull, I did, I tried sda & sdb, sdc is windows, so that would be a waste of time. the ssd at sdd though? hm
17:38:53 <elliott> kmc: well I know they have fancy ~super secret~ intranet stuff
17:39:07 <elliott> which I imagine is completely separate from their public web presence
17:39:18 <kmc> that assumes a degree of competence i am not willing to assume
17:39:35 <kmc> anyway it might be on a private network and still use fbi.gov hostnames and *.fbi.gov cookies
17:39:39 <elliott> where is that screenshot of that internal fbi wiki
17:39:44 <Phantom_Hoover> the military networks are definitely disjoint from the public internet
17:39:49 <Vorpal> FreeFull, anyway the installer said it installed on sda
17:40:06 <FreeFull> Vorpal: So you can boot into Windows fine?
17:40:27 <FreeFull> Also it's possible the installer's sda isn't grub's whatever
17:40:30 <Vorpal> FreeFull, the ssd says it isn't bootable
17:40:50 <Vorpal> FreeFull, well possibly, but sda and sdb have mdraid so that shouldn't matter
17:41:06 <Vorpal> I'm booting system rescue cd now to figure this out
17:41:26 <elliott> I blame kmc for suppressing this information
17:41:46 <kmc> so i guess my root of trust for Arch Linux is...typedef int f(float);
17:41:57 <kmc> so i guess my root of trust for Arch Linux is... StartCom

18:31:39 <Gregor> elliott: (a) hopefully I don't need to wipe repo history any more, (b) that's the problem, innit ;)
18:32:52 <Gregor> Also, I haven't seen any bugs in what actually /is/ merged yet...

18:33:01 <HackEgo> bash: bf_txtgen: command not found

18:33:18 <FireFly> `run *interp*/bf_txtgen "do the binaries in here work?"
18:33:20 <HackEgo> bash: interps/bf_txtgen: is a directory
18:33:32 <elliott> Gregor: You've seen a bug in what's merged, you just papered over it :P
18:34:02 <elliott> Stuff that does #!/usr/bin/env perl was broken because bin/perl was your user interface to Perl.
18:34:16 * elliott thinks interpreter stuff should just have its own separate bin/ accessed by "!foo" rather than "`foo"
18:34:27 <elliott> that would also make `ls bin more useful when messing with hackegoy commands and stuff
18:34:53 <Gregor> The whole thing is that I don't want there to BE a distinction between HackEgoy stuff and EgoBoty stuff. I want there to be one bot X-D
18:35:04 <elliott> My point is that there is inherently a distinction in some ways
18:35:07 <FireFly> They could be separate dirs and both could be in $PATH?
18:35:07 <Gregor> I don't want there to be two bots with a single manifestation.
18:35:22 <elliott> stuff in bin/ gets seen internally rather than just being UI and there are namespace overlaps
18:35:59 <elliott> and it's kind of inconvenient to have a bunch of mostly-trivial wrapper scripts inamongst the code that people actually wrote for the bot
18:36:24 <FireFly> command eval could prefix interps-bin to $PATH or something
18:36:30 <FireFly> Maybe that wouldn't help..
18:37:08 <elliott> The distinction between "`eval foo" and "!foo" is just that the latter is less convenient
18:37:24 <elliott> though implementing "!foo ..." by mapping it to "`interp foo ..." would make total sense
18:37:32 <elliott> Gregor: would that be merged enough?
18:37:41 <elliott> that way you could totally customise the !foo behaviour, it would just be another entry point to the bot
18:37:54 <elliott> it is basically just a namespacing/clutter issue to me, shrug
18:38:13 <elliott> note that I'm not saying the distinction should be "which bot had the command originally"
18:38:20 <elliott> for instance it makes sense for bfjoust to be `bfjoust IMO
18:38:37 <Gregor> `run mkdir ibins; for i in bin/*; do if [ "`grep '\. lib/interp' $i`" ]; then mv $i ibin/; fi; done; printf '#!/bin/sh\nCMD=`cut -d' ' -f1 "$1"`\nARG=`cut -d' ' -f2- "$2"`\nexec ibin/$CMD "$ARG"' > bin/interp; chmod 0755 bin/interp
18:38:40 <elliott> (oh one solution to repo-wiping would be for the bfjoust stuff to maintain its own nested hg repo...)
18:38:52 <elliott> Gregor: I hope you didn't test that first
18:38:59 <Gregor> Testing is for losers.
18:39:15 <HackEgo> mkdir: cannot create directory `ibins': File exists \ mv: target `ibin/' is not a directory \ mv: cannot move `bin/1l' to `ibin/': Not a directory \ mv: cannot move `bin/2l' to `ibin/': Not a directory \ mv: cannot move `bin/adjust' to `ibin/': Not a directory \ mv: cannot move `bin/asm' to `ibin/': Not a directory \ mv: cannot move `bin/axo' to `i
18:39:27 <elliott> gratzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
18:39:47 <elliott> Gregor: idea: if a command causes a commit but gives no output, HackEgo gives a link to the hg web interface commit
18:39:51 <Gregor> `run mkdir ibin; for i in bin/*; do if [ "`grep '\. lib/interp' $i`" ]; then mv $i ibin/; fi; done; printf '#!/bin/sh\nCMD=`cut -d' ' -f1 "$1"`\nARG=`cut -d' ' -f2- "$2"`\nexec ibin/$CMD "$ARG"' > bin/interp; chmod 0755 bin/interp
18:39:51 <elliott> so you can see if it worked
18:40:09 <Gregor> Oh, that's a nifty idea.
18:40:24 <elliott> arguably it should give a link even if it does give output, but for stuff like quotes it'd have to be two lines
18:40:26 <HackEgo> mkdir: cannot create directory `ibin': File exists \ grep: bin/@: No such file or directory \ grep: bin/c: No such file or directory \ grep: bin/k: No such file or directory
18:40:31 <elliott> commands that write aren't very common
18:40:46 <elliott> and you can omit the "No output." line if you are linking a commit on another line
18:41:24 <elliott> alternatively you could shorten the urls to http://codu.org/e/dfigj or something and then just include it at the end of every line that touches stuff
18:41:33 <elliott> I guess a shorter cutoff for commands that cause modifications is no big deal
18:41:45 <Gregor> It might be valuable to have some very small, out-of-the-way mention that it DID produce output, without showing a full URL. You can always find the URL easily enouogh.
18:42:14 <Gregor> `interp bf >+++++++++[<++++++++>-]<.>+++++++[<++++>-]<+.+++++++..+++.
18:42:15 <HackEgo> /hackenv/bin/interp: 2: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution
18:42:22 <elliott> I find it a bit of a pain to find the fshg URL and then refresh a bunch
18:42:27 <elliott> hence why a link would be handy when messing with stuff IMO
18:44:12 <Gregor> `run printf '#!/bin/sh\nCMD=`cut -d'\'' '\'' -f1 "$1"`\nARG=`cut -d'\'' '\'' -f2- "$2"`\nexec ibin/$CMD "$ARG"' > bin/interp; chmod 0755 bin/interp

18:45:05 <elliott> Gregor: I have an idea... why don't you just make "!foo bar baz" pass along two args, "foo" and "bar baz" :P
18:45:14 <elliott> Then you can do the splitting in multibot Python rather than HackEgo sh.

18:52:27 <FreeFull> Vorpal: Did you have to install it manually

18:55:21 <elliott> How does this sound for reducing the clutteriness of ibin/: Rather than `interp running the file in ibin directly, make `interp start sh and source lib/interp and then source ibin/$foo. Then they'd just be one-liners. I have no idea why this is better but it feels better.

18:55:42 <elliott> GRUB 2 is trivial to get working if you don't have a supercomplicated LVM RAID setup.
18:55:54 <FreeFull> Vorpal: SYSLINUX is pretty easy
18:57:05 <Vorpal> elliott, not super complicated. For /boot it is just plain mdraid
18:57:22 <Vorpal> elliott, the issue is that linux and grub doesn't agree on which device is sda, sdb and so on
18:57:50 <Vorpal> I believe that at least
18:57:59 <elliott> Vorpal: grub doesn't even use "sda".
18:58:12 <elliott> Partitions are numbered from 1 in grub2, if that's what you mean.
18:58:25 <Vorpal> elliott, exactly, but it maps hd1 to sda and so on when doing grub-install from linux

20:07:10 <kmc> replaces the text someone sends with "Bz bzzzz, bzz bzzz" and such
20:07:20 <kmc> don't know if IRC clients implement this but it is popular on MIT Zephyr
20:07:27 <Vorpal> kmc, that sounds funny for the first 10 minutes
20:07:38 <Fiora> I made an irssi ignore script that blacks out ignored text
20:07:41 <Fiora> but doesn't remove it
20:07:47 <Fiora> so I can hilight it if I want to read it
20:07:53 <elliott> how do you resist highlighting it
20:07:55 <Fiora> it makes it easier to follow conversations where one person is ignored
20:08:03 <Fiora> because otherwise you don't see where they posted things so it gets confusing
20:08:07 <Fiora> or like who someone is responding to

20:08:26 <sgeo> I think I've played with Gale once
20:08:28 <kmc> Fiora: that's a clever solution

20:09:01 <Fiora> http://privatepaste.com/9de8939130
20:09:24 <Fiora> it's kind of icky because I have no idea how to write perl
20:09:56 <Bike> i don't think it's possible to write perl that isn't at least somewhat icky, i think you're good
20:10:06 <kmc> sgeo: wow, Gale is even more obscure than Zephyr
20:11:44 <sgeo> I found it via Wikipedia
20:11:51 <GreyKnight> Fiora: that is some of the clearest Perl I've seen in a while TBH :-P
20:12:07 <Fiora> GreyKnight: I copied it from another script, the only thing I changed was the theme_register line
20:12:14 <kmc> afaik Gale is only used by current and former sysadmins for the student computing group at Caltech
20:12:19 <GreyKnight> so, yeah, I guess you *do* have no idea how to write perl properly :o)
20:12:38 <kmc> shachaf: did you see that CUPS XSS thing?

20:13:07 <sgeo> Gregor, suppose someone is flooding the channel
20:13:11 <kmc> it's in that book as well
20:13:20 <sgeo> The way to fix that would probably be to coalesce multiple bzz lines into one
20:13:23 <shachaf> And order that book, I guess.
20:13:31 <kmc> sgeo: or use a temporary /ignore then
20:13:35 <kmc> or just count on ops kicking flooders
20:13:41 <Fiora> the main reason I ignore is because of people who frustrate me or are creepy or something
20:13:45 <Fiora> not because of like, spambots

20:15:21 <Fiora> ah, so just a kick
20:15:49 <Bike> the freenode spammers i've seen usually hit enough channels to wake up an oper and get themselves k-lined
20:16:00 <GreyKnight> well, off the whole network rather than just off the channel
20:16:33 <Fiora> I remember there was a spam thing where people spammed links that had javascript in the background that enlisted their own computer as a bot to connect to irc and spam more links
20:16:42 <GreyKnight> If you ever see me quitting with "Excess Flood" it's because my connection failed hard enough that several of my messages got backlogged and sent all at the same time :-/
20:17:30 <GreyKnight> (the server sees them arrive with no delay between messages and assumes I'm Up To No Good)
20:17:42 <Bike> Fiora: you mean the thing kmc was talking about like, yesterday
20:18:33 <Bike> some webpage that sent a specially crafted POST to freenode, that looked like connecting to irc + spamming the link
20:18:49 <GreyKnight> freenode now interprets "POST" to mean "QUIT" for this reason :-D

20:53:16 <oerjan> <Bike> but seriously is fp multiplication power associative <-- wait what is this asking
20:53:35 <oerjan> oh floating point not functional programming
20:53:43 <kmc> oerjan: you mean other than the entirety of law around the globe
20:55:20 <Bike> it has four mailing lists. well
20:55:35 <fizzie> Bike: The details aren't terribly interesting, but if you insist. All words are converted internally into integers (indices in the token list) for easier processing; the first N values were reserved for punctuation and are converted back via fixed Funge-98 code; and there was a piece of code in the model-building that removed tokens that didn't occur more than K times. Back when the darwin ...
20:55:42 <fizzie> ... style was built, this filter didn't realize punctuation was exempt, and removed the :) and :( tokens from the list, causing everything else to shift back by two, so the two most common non-punctuation tokens (the, of) got indices reserved for punctuation and are therefore expressed as that in the output.
20:56:06 <fizzie> (Because Darwin in fact used no smileys.)
20:56:07 <Bike> fizzie: ah, neat.
20:56:13 <oerjan> Bike: what's the power associative question, i might be able to tell if i knew what the question _is_
20:56:36 <Bike> oerjan: basically, is fp multiplication associative in the special case where all the operands are the same number.
20:56:53 <Bike> it's not associative in general, obviously
20:57:07 <oerjan> Bike: well in the trivial sense obviously, since a*(a*a) = (a*a)*a by commutativity
20:57:19 <Bike> yes, but more than that
20:57:33 <Bike> wikipedia has x(x(xx)) = (x(xx))x = (xx)(xx) as an example not covered by commutativity
20:58:19 <oerjan> Bike: i assume you mean whether it's associative for arbitrary _combinations_ of a single number. in which case, no.
20:58:22 <Fiora> the one I tested was (x*x*x)*x = (x*x)*(x*x)
20:58:29 <Fiora> which doesn't seem to be true
20:58:50 <Bike> oerjan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_associativity wikipedia is better at words than I am.
20:58:53 <oerjan> proof: if it were, it would be a multiplicative semigroup. it is finite. 2*(1/2) = 1, and 1*x = x for all x.
20:59:46 <oerjan> Bike: right, i think that goes under what i say.
21:00:12 <GreyKnight> I am trying to build Lua on HackEgo but the make takes a bit too long for command timeout by the looks of it. What do? :-(

22:53:18 <Bike> hagb4rd: oh, you're named after that hagbard, aren't you.
22:53:37 <fizzie> Bike: It's kind-of; though it's not exactly a bug. It's related to the same filter, in any case; the tokens that were filtered out were replaced by a special marker token; the babble code represents instances of that in text as "fnord".
22:53:40 <popl> Discordians are disgusting things.

22:55:21 <fizzie> Also technically the " " between the "nick:" attribution and the first word is I think the separating space between the invisible START token and the first actual word. (Or maybe not.)

23:14:51 <monqy> so nows the question of how did incubot produce that

23:19:03 <elliott> 00:17:28 <emma> is there any good tutorial or documentation on how to get scheme to 'interface' with the 'outside world' ?

23:38:11 <HackEgo> Bike: 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.)
23:38:30 <elliott> http://codu.org/logs/log/_esoteric/2012-08-18#044652
23:38:35 <Bike> maybe /i/ am the celebrity
23:38:50 <MDude> I wodner when was the last time the MDude who actually registered the name on this server showed up.
23:39:07 <Sgeo> I was interested in the whole environments thing
23:39:09 <Bike> i don't even understand what he's talking about there
23:39:23 <Sgeo> Because kmc was giddy about Kernel
23:39:32 <Sgeo> And I was interested in CL at this time, I think
23:39:39 <oerjan> clearly Bike came here to #esoteric because someone from the future accidentally planted the idea in his dreams while trying to write a feather program.
23:39:47 <Bike> kmc likes kernel, huh
23:40:03 <Bike> well i think you were wrong to call cl environments first-class
23:40:09 <Bike> hopefully i imparted that back then
23:40:22 <Bike> especially compared to kernel where you can do all kinds of wacky shit with 'em.
23:40:58 <Sgeo> I tend to think of "Can I get it as a value? It's first class" as the meaning of first class
23:41:23 <elliott> apparently Bike's first visit to #esoteric was so terrible he didn't come back for 12 days
23:41:34 <Bike> are we stalking me now
23:41:39 -!- Arc_Koen has quit (Quit: The struct held his beloved integer in his strong, protecting arms, his eyes like sapphire orbs staring into her own. "W-will you... Will you union me?").
23:41:58 <oerjan> MDude: um MDude is not registered
23:42:10 <Taneb> Bike, when they stalked me the found out the town I live in!
23:42:11 <monqy> i'm still stalking boole but it's pretty unfruitful
23:42:41 <fizzie> Taneb: It helps that it's the only town in town.
23:42:44 <Bike> Taneb: well is it a nice town
23:43:07 <elliott> it was the ingenious method of stalking known as "guessing because it's really improbable"
23:43:15 <elliott> (me and Taneb live in the same small (pop ~11k) town. we have never met)
23:43:22 <MDude> Did #esoteric move to a different server or something?
23:43:28 <MDude> It was registered for a long time.
23:43:34 <elliott> old accounts got purged recently
23:43:39 <monqy> it's on dalnet now
23:43:43 <elliott> but you could have just gotten it given to you in #freenode any time
23:43:49 <elliott> accounts that haven't been used for a month or so can be dropped
23:44:05 -!- WeThePeople has joined.
23:44:07 <fizzie> Oh, so the line goes right at 10k?
23:44:09 <Taneb> elliott, it is definitely at least "medium-sized"
23:44:14 <shachaf> (The town I lived in is pop ~9k.)
23:44:15 * Fiora looks around at her ~23m metropolitan area
23:44:16 <Bike> i'm going to assume the two of you live on esperanza base or something
23:44:24 <MDude> Well then I'd like to know the last time he showed anyway, just because curious.
23:44:28 <elliott> an 11k town next to a 279k city is small imo
23:44:33 <elliott> but yes it's not especially small as towns go
23:44:52 <Bike> it's only logical.
23:44:52 <FireFly> Fiora: ...took me a few seconds to realise the m wasn't for meters
23:45:05 <shachaf> Bike: I used to live in a small town in the Pacific Northwest!
23:45:10 <elliott> Taneb: OK our fate is sealed, we have to go to that base sometmie
23:45:22 <Bike> shachaf: i'm sorry
23:45:24 <Fiora> (LA is really big)
23:45:35 <shachaf> Fiora: Don't live in Louisiana!
23:45:38 <elliott> Fiora: 23M is a pretty big town IMO
23:45:45 <oerjan> MDude: hard to tell when he's been purged from the database...
23:45:50 <Fiora> Louisina doesn't even have that many people I think
23:45:57 <Fiora> I already live there :P
23:46:06 <MDude> Wasn't sure how it worked.
23:46:07 <shachaf> I was in Los Angeles a few months ago.
23:46:14 <Bike> antarctica sounds like just about the worst summer vacation ever
23:46:18 <shachaf> It gave me the impression of not wanting to live in Los Angeles.
23:46:27 <elliott> all I know about los angeles is that they have hollywood there and hollywood is weird
23:46:29 <shachaf> Fiora: By moving to the Pacific Northwest!
23:46:34 * FireFly lives in an approx. 16k pop suburb of a 1M pop city
23:46:38 <Bike> as long as you have spare gas masks LA is fine
23:46:39 <elliott> maybe monqy knows more about los angeles
23:46:46 <shachaf> monqy: are you los angeles
23:46:55 <hagb4rd> and that if you want to learn basketball you start in south central
23:47:14 <shachaf> monqy: whats america like!!
23:47:41 <oerjan> Bike: i think it's an even worse winter vacation hth
23:47:50 <elliott> I think I have actually never been to an actually huge city ever
23:47:58 <shachaf> Fiora: You should move to San Lorenzo.
23:48:01 <kmc> haven't you been to london at least
23:48:11 <Fiora> but this is where my apartment and job and things are :<
23:48:19 <Bike> also san lorenzo doesn't exist
23:48:46 <Bike> if you want to specify a small island nationoid you should go with fernando poo for that reason
23:48:48 <elliott> okay I think the largest city I have ever been to is probably Edinburgh, which is just weird
23:48:55 <elliott> maybe I've been momentarily in other cities that I just don't remember
23:48:56 <Bike> no the first one was red, that worked
23:49:13 <shachaf> elliott: Edinburgh is "p. cool", they say.
23:49:14 <elliott> wait I tell a lie I've been to Dusseldorf
23:49:25 <Bike> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter-over_syndrome your vacation is going to be fun, elliottaneb
23:49:26 <elliott> apparently that has a lot of people although I barely remember it
23:49:44 <elliott> Bike: we'll just go in the summer when it's nice and warm
23:49:54 <elliott> also I've wanted to go to Antarctica for ages anyway!!
23:50:01 <fizzie> London might be the biggest city I've been in, isn't it quite biggish?
23:50:04 <Bike> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_T3_syndrome goddamn, just being there makes you go insane
23:50:08 <FireFly> I don't think Antarctica has a very high pop
23:50:08 <Bike> this is my kind of continent
23:50:12 <shachaf> elliott: Is Antarctica a big city?
23:50:19 <FireFly> It might not count as a large city
23:50:26 <Bike> well it's large and it has buildings
23:50:41 <Bike> "good enough for me"
23:50:59 <elliott> antarctica is so cool (DONT MAKE THE OBVIOUS JOKE) they have runways with variable elevation
23:51:04 <elliott> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airports_in_Antarctica
23:51:13 <Taneb> I've been to London, LA, Rome, Istanbul (not Constantinople, though), Hong Kong, Melbourne...
23:51:17 <hagb4rd> dusseldorf? it's kind of the opposite of cologne where i live (not really but the cities are so close to each other that they rivals in the way we discussed here iirc)
23:51:19 <Taneb> #well travelled Taneb
23:51:20 <elliott> i think this is in fact the objective standard for cool
23:51:27 <fizzie> Is London bigger than Paris? I would assume so.
23:51:31 <Bike> elliott: ok that sounds basically terrifying
23:51:52 <Taneb> fizzie, quite significantly so
23:52:10 <Bike> jesus christ, they have an airfield at vostok
23:52:35 <Taneb> Depends how you measure it
23:52:53 <elliott> an interesting fact about antarctica is that it is cold
23:52:53 <Bike> actually i should see how that whole digging up lake-shoggoths expedition was going
23:53:01 <elliott> didn't they get in and it was boring
23:53:03 <fizzie> Taneb: You put all the people in it into a bath tub and measure the displaced volume.
23:53:05 <Taneb> By population of urban area, London is smaller
23:53:15 <Bike> last i heard they were going to have to take forever to do "scientific" "analysis" on it
23:53:23 <Vorpal> why is it that the steam linux beta is super-smooth and fast and the windows client suffers from bad network lag as soon as you try to use any of the features that requires anything online.
23:53:38 <Taneb> City proper and metropolitan area, Paris is smaller
23:53:41 <elliott> oh i forgot about the dry valley
23:53:47 <elliott> objectively the best continent imo
23:53:53 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: leaving).
23:53:56 <Taneb> By number of Michelin-starred restaurants, Paris is smaller
23:54:04 <Taneb> elliott, Australasia has itidus20
23:54:08 <shachaf> Vorpal: BECAUSE WINDWOES RIGHT?????
23:54:16 <FireFly> Sounds like a good measurement, Taneb
23:54:26 <Bike> «The region is one of the world's most extreme deserts, and includes many interesting features including Lake Vida and the Onyx River, Antarctica's longest river.» the most interesting features of the desert include: things that aren't deserts
23:54:29 <Vorpal> shachaf, it doesn't make any sense in this context
23:54:46 <elliott> Taneb: Australasia isn't a continent!!!!
23:54:53 <shachaf> Vorpal: Steam is one of the worst Windows programs I've used.
23:55:04 <elliott> Bike: http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/staticfiles/NGS/Shared/StaticFiles/Photography/Images/POD/a/antarctica-dry-valley-516357-sw.jpg
23:55:06 <Bike> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mummified_Seal_Carcas_in_McMurdo_Dry_Valleys_.jpg yeah this seems like a nice place elliott
23:55:12 <Taneb> elliott, when did that happen!
23:55:19 <Taneb> shachaf, better or worse than Gimp?
23:55:20 <elliott> IIRC NASA tested some stuff there because it is really close to the conditions on Mars or something
23:55:42 <fizzie> Oh, I've been to Cairo, I think that's biggish too? Is it bigger than London?
23:55:42 <elliott> Bike: clearly you just don't understand the beauty of death
23:55:58 <elliott> fizzie: are you a mummy irl
23:56:16 <Bike> the longest river is 32 km
23:56:18 <Bike> that's pretty terrible
23:56:21 <fizzie> Seems to depend again on the measurement method.
23:56:23 <Vorpal> shachaf, well true, but I'm just utterly surprised that the store pages load quickly. Since Steam works just fine in offline mode, or when not going outside the library page, I always attributed that to network lag, thinking the servers were probably in US.
23:56:31 <shachaf> fizzie: are you my mother?
23:56:37 <Vorpal> shachaf, so I'm just shocked that it doesn't behave like that under linux
23:56:50 <shachaf> Vorpal: Steam is terrible in the US too.
23:56:51 <Bike> «Samples of the freshly frozen water in the ice well are expected to be collected at the end of 2012 when the new Antarctic summer starts» goddamn it that's right now!
23:57:19 <Vorpal> shachaf, so loading pages in it is super slow there too? Huh
23:57:40 <Vorpal> shachaf, with super slow being upwards of 15 seconds *average*
23:57:49 <Bike> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sovetskaya_lake_modis_2004_lrg.jpg antarctica i don't think you understand lakes.
23:57:56 <FireFly> Eh, that's worse than what I've experienced
23:58:14 <Vorpal> FireFly, it is especially bad during sales btw
23:58:18 <elliott> Bike: it was only given one colour to paint its canvas with
23:58:27 <Vorpal> and I usually keep steam in offline mode when there isn't a sale
23:58:28 <FireFly> Although.. I can't remember the last time I used the windows version of steam *on windows*
23:58:29 <fizzie> Vorpal: I've noticed all network-related things (store, community, etc.) be really slow. But maybe more in the 5-10 second range than 15+.
23:58:40 <FireFly> (I've had it running under wine for a while though)
23:59:06 <Vorpal> fizzie, I said upwards of 15, not 15+, but sure
23:59:17 <elliott> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/90_Degrees_East
23:59:20 <elliott> let's talk about how shitty a name this is
23:59:35 <Vorpal> anyway I'm seeing 2-3 second delay under the linux beta client
23:59:42 <Vorpal> which is actually reasonable
