00:00:16 <elliott> HAPPY UTC APOCALYPSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
00:00:24 <fizzie> olsner: Is it finlandssvenska, though?
00:00:38 <olsner> fizzie: imo it's not
00:00:42 <fizzie> They speak that here on the cost a lot.
00:00:58 <elliott> i don't get it why are you guys still alive
00:00:59 <elliott> ohhhh
00:01:02 <elliott> different timezones
00:01:10 <olsner> sounds more like an arbitrary northern swedish dialect
00:01:11 <fizzie> Maybe Åland counts as real Swedish since they're monolingual IIRC.
00:03:05 <olsner> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Åland_Swedish says "generally considered to be a variant of eastern swedish"
00:03:17 <fizzie> There were two people speaking finlandssvenska in the train, and they talked about their friend who was just 14 years old, but already used something that contextually sounded like a drug, but what they called "Eemeli".
00:03:43 <fizzie> I don't know what it was all about.
00:04:12 <olsner> could be referring to a girl called Emelie
00:04:28 <Phantom_Hoover> eemeli was born with naturally psychotropic skin
00:04:43 <fizzie> I think that bit was in Finnish. It's a Finnish male name.
00:05:48 <fizzie> There was also a 50-something old guy who said he's no good at fistfights, so he'd like to get a gun, because he's good at shooting people. He was going to Turku to meet his friend Herkko, who was currently in court; when Herkko got out they were going to drink away his money.
00:06:17 <Bike> and you didn't get his number?
00:06:32 <fizzie> Also, he had just left his wife and kids without letting them know except by leaving a letter, and he was going to send out the divorce papers from Turku.
00:06:35 <Phantom_Hoover> that's swedes for you
00:06:48 <Phantom_Hoover> to whom was he relating this
00:07:02 <fizzie> Someone was going to hit concrete from the fifth floor, too. That part was a bit unclear.
00:07:13 <fizzie> To someone at the other end of a telephone call.
00:07:34 <fizzie> The stories are I suppose the best thing about public transportation.
00:08:15 <Phantom_Hoover> public transportation is unfortunately extortionate and dull
00:08:25 <Phantom_Hoover> *in england
00:08:41 <Phantom_Hoover> in scotland it is at least not as extortionate
00:09:19 <olsner> boring and dull until you try to get off the train and have to discover that the door handle is on the outside
00:09:21 <fizzie> Admittedly it's predominantly dull in Finland too. It's not a thing that is done that you would speak to any stranger. (Which I like, but then again I am a Finn too.)
00:10:12 <fizzie> At most you might grumble something like "that's my stop" when you're in the window seat, want to get out, and the other person isn't getting the hint from your angry scowl.
00:10:37 <olsner> oh, what a verbose way to get off a train
00:10:53 <fizzie> (Because the angry scowl is naturally the default setting.)
00:11:44 <Phantom_Hoover> my kind of country
00:11:59 <olsner> I'd expect the escalation order to be something more like subtle look -> angry look -> knife fight
00:12:03 <elliott> fizzie: q: are all finns depressed or does it just look that way
00:12:35 <Phantom_Hoover> olsner, it's finland, it'd be a drunken gun fight
00:13:21 <olsner> but with a gun there would be no blood on your hands
00:13:46 <fizzie> We do knife fights.
00:14:02 <Bike> my favorite public transport experience was seeing a ninety year old lady with a t-shirt reading "FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING FUCKERS". no word on her knife fight capacity, though
00:14:08 <fizzie> At night, in the grill fast-food stand queue.
00:14:12 -!- nooga has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds).
00:15:34 <Phantom_Hoover> olsner, just stick your hands in the blood and spread it around a bit
00:15:44 <kmc> Bike: where was it?
00:15:47 <zzo38> What is your Dungeons&Dragons character's father's surname?
00:16:00 <kmc> there are lots of videos on YouTube of fights on MUNI
00:16:06 <kmc> don't know of any knife fights though
00:16:10 <Bike> kmc: portland's MAX thingie
00:16:27 <Bike> so, perhaps not that surprising
00:16:31 <fizzie> Hey, I've been in Portland's MAX thingie.
00:16:42 <fizzie> All I saw were young men in tight jeans.
00:16:57 <kmc> mmm light rail
00:16:59 <Bike> i was even traveling with such a young man at the time, can you believe it
00:17:28 <kmc> can you dig it daddy-o
00:17:38 <Bike> we were practicing our beat poetry
00:18:12 <fizzie> Oh, except! An oldish lady (65+?) bought me a ticket, because I was from Finland and she had been married to a Swedish guy like 30 years ago.
00:18:30 <elliott> haha
00:18:47 <elliott> what's the difference
00:18:55 <fizzie> (I was having a bit of a trouble with the ticket-selling machine. And so did others using it, so I suppose it was kind of wonky.)
00:19:24 <fizzie> I can't remember the name of her (late? ex?) husband, but it was some really prototypically Swedish name.
00:19:34 <fizzie> I think it was a two-parter.
00:21:58 <fizzie> Sundström. (Okay, not really a two-parter, but a compound anyway.)
00:22:04 <Jafet> Lars Larsson
00:25:10 <kmc> hans moleman
00:28:01 <fizzie> 1909 Sundströms living in Finland.
00:29:07 <kmc> sundström sounds like a unit of deadly radiation
00:29:15 <kmc> 1909 sundströms would certainly be fatal
00:37:55 <fizzie> Yeah, the *yearly* limit is like 220 millisundströms, right?
00:39:30 <quintopia> what's the conversion factor for sundströms to roentgens?
00:39:57 <elliott> `frink sundström -> roentgen
00:40:07 <HackEgo> Warning: undefined symbol "sundström". \ Unconvertable expression: \ sundström (undefined symbol) -> 129/500000 (exactly 2.58e-4) s kg^-1 A (unknown unit type)
00:40:40 <Bike> second-amperes per kilogram. i can dig it.
00:41:12 <quintopia> second amperes is coulombs, isnt it
00:41:41 <Bike> yeah but then you lose the ordering
00:42:17 <Bike> oh, apparently that's actually what roentgens are. silly me.
00:43:49 <quintopia> so irradiation is a measure of charge density per unit mass
00:44:15 <quintopia> makes sense but its still somewhat surprising, since it was expecting a more traditional measure of energy
00:44:43 <Phantom_Hoover> there really isn't an elementary definition
01:01:55 <zzo38> What things might be measure in square seconds? What might be measured in square hertz?
01:02:33 <Bike> square hertz is pretty useful for acceleration
01:02:56 -!- augur has joined.
01:03:55 <zzo38> What units of angular measurement are there?
01:04:04 <quintopia> there are three
01:04:23 <quintopia> radians, degrees, and gradient
01:04:39 <quintopia> arcseconds is a special case
01:05:10 <quintopia> it is part of the degrees system
01:06:41 <quintopia> square arcseconds can be used to measure "solid angle" which corresponds the an area / subset of s^2
01:06:46 <quintopia> erm
01:06:49 <quintopia> S^2
01:07:28 <zzo38> I know of radians, degrees, grads, turns, brads, arcminutes, arcseconds, sidereal hours, astrological signs, right angles, compass directions, clocks, and probably some more I missed.
01:07:54 <zzo38> quintopia: O, I didn't know that! Can you have cubic radians?
01:09:51 <quintopia> sure
01:10:23 <zzo38> What is measured with cubic radians per square ampere?
01:10:25 <quintopia> most of the later ones you listed are special cases of the first ones
01:11:16 <quintopia> well, cubic radians measures the volume of an intercepted "arc" of S^3
01:11:41 <quintopia> which means it is most useful in 4D geomtery
01:11:45 <zzo38> quintopia: Well, yes they are often given by part and smaller parts, degrees/arcminutes/arcseconds, or sidereal hours/minutes/seconds, or degree/sign, like how with length you might have feet/inches.
01:11:46 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
01:12:29 <quintopia> a square ampere sounds meaningless to me
01:12:45 <zzo38> Can a square ohm be used for anything?
01:13:08 <Bike> aren't there square ohms in the definition of farads or something
01:13:15 <zzo38> Maybe; I don't know.
01:13:38 <quintopia> ohms are v/a, so it would be square volts per square ampere and again i cant see what a square ampere could mean physically
01:14:14 -!- augur has joined.
01:14:43 <quintopia> yes there is square amperes in farad definitions
01:15:48 <Bike> quartic-second-square-amperes per kilogram-square-meters, i think you mean!
01:16:25 <quintopia> apparently because voltss is define in terms of amps and ohms in defined in terms of both
01:16:37 <quintopia> the definition of ohm has A^-2
01:16:47 <quintopia> and so farads, as s/ohm
01:16:51 <quintopia> has A^2

03:05:29 <shachaf> That's not how it works.
03:05:36 <shachaf> You've upset the natural order of things.
03:05:43 <Fiora> nyahahaha~
03:12:51 <Phantom_Hoover> sgeo_, you're underperforming
03:12:57 <Phantom_Hoover> Fiora, you now do sgeo_'s job
03:14:07 <shachaf> Phantom_Hoover: Can I do your job now?
03:14:12 <Phantom_Hoover> sure
03:14:18 <Phantom_Hoover> heavy lies the crown etc.
03:14:49 <shachaf> Hmm?
03:14:57 <shachaf> Come to think of it I'm not sure what Phantom_Hoover's job is.
03:15:12 <Phantom_Hoover> that is the greater part of the weight
03:15:16 <elliott> it involves bricks; brains
03:15:24 <shachaf> Good point.
03:15:27 <Phantom_Hoover> yes, the rest of the weight is bricks

03:23:51 <Arc_Koen> if you run out of bricks

03:25:39 <Arc_Koen> is that a BTD?
03:25:49 <Arc_Koen> brain transmissible disease
03:27:20 <Bike> You get it from eating brains. Does that count?

03:42:55 <Bike> elliot is a man and a half. ping him one and a half times.
03:43:02 <Fiora> are you calling him fat
03:43:04 <elliott> yes. ping elliot
03:43:05 <elliott> not elliott
03:43:08 <elliott> v. important
03:43:20 <elliott> (ps i am like the polar opposite of fat)
03:43:29 <Bike> of course there's actually an elliot on freenode.

10:46:14 <elliott> is the world ending
10:46:23 -!- AnotherTest has joined.
10:46:29 <AnotherTest> Greetings
10:47:19 <zzo38> elliott: I don't think so. I explained what I think was actually happening with the Mayan calendar.
10:49:02 <zzo38> Did you agree with what my idea was?
10:49:36 <elliott> absolutely
10:49:43 <monqy> what was your idea ?
10:50:18 <elliott> that was my next question
10:50:52 <zzo38> About the similarity to the Y2K thinking everything would break?
10:51:43 <zzo38> Because, they didn't program the computer to go up to 2000, like the Mayans did not write their calendar all the way up to 13.0.0.0.0 (probably because they didn't want to write forever, or something like that)
10:54:24 <AnotherTest> So the world will end on 19 January 2038?
10:55:14 <Nisstyre-laptop> zzo38: I think they made up some bogus religious reason for the cyclic calendar
10:55:24 <Nisstyre-laptop> probably the real reason is what you said
10:56:31 <fizzie> It seems that some piece of software has stopped including plaintext versions of emails any longer.
10:58:32 <fizzie> All the stuff I get from the university officialdom nowadays is a non-multipart message with a Content-type: text/html body that always has this short boilerplate prefix of http://sprunge.us/bNja before any content.

11:06:05 <fizzie> (I use the Outlook Web App to respond to those; should perhaps check what it sends out.)
11:06:17 <Deewiant> fizzie: The latest "Aalto Info" (20.12.) was multipart and I don't think I really get any other general Aalto-stuff.
11:07:18 <fizzie> That's probably sent from some kind of a system. I meant more emails from people working in an administrative role.
11:07:58 <fizzie> Like I've gotten a couple of emails from a "Planning Officer / Student Services" recently; the latest was from where I quoted that mess.
11:08:00 <Deewiant> Right; I don't really get anything like that except for ICS, I think.
11:10:50 <fizzie> Deewiant: Also some messages from the ICS department HR coordinator (Stefan). Though this is a forward, so maybe I should blame the original author.
11:11:11 <fizzie> "Subject: FW: Terveystalo - Virtaa voimavararyhmästä Arabia - syksy 2012" of Aug 30; I don't know who all this was sent to.
11:15:35 <fizzie> "List price: $14.99; Price: $0.01; You save: $14.98 (100%)" Amazon certainly has some good deals.

12:45:12 <FreeFull> Is there a built in function that does foldl (>>) (head x) (tail x)
12:47:47 <fizzie> foldl f (head l) (tail l) is the same as foldl1 f l, isn't it?
12:48:41 <FreeFull> I think so
12:48:59 <oerjan> hm it seems that it's just an accident that the day of this calendar turnover is solstice, that's not the case for other ones
12:49:44 <oerjan> SO MAYBE THE END OF THE WORLD COULD HAPPEN AT ANOTHER TIME OF DAY
12:51:03 <GreyKnight> ISTR something about they didn't take leap days into account properly when converting to our calendar? So it's been and gone if so :-o
12:51:13 <oerjan> FreeFull: do you need the result of the final item? otherwise sequence_ will do. or you could do fmap last . sequence although that may leak memory
12:52:16 <fizzie> I also have heard that according to some people the proper calendar synchronization would make December 23rd the right day.
12:52:49 <oerjan> GreyKnight: from the section on the issue, it seems that there's a pretty strong consensus now but that there was a lot of argument before they reached it
12:52:58 <fizzie> "The date of 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ajaw 3 K'ank'in is usually correlated as 21 or 23 December 2012." (Wikipedia.)
12:53:16 * GreyKnight throws his hands up

12:57:01 <oerjan> FreeFull: dependent on the monad, you may want foldr rather than foldl there
12:58:16 <oerjan> foldr (>>) (return ()) x
12:58:16 <fizzie> foldm, which folds in the middle.
12:59:00 <shachaf> @src sequence_
12:59:00 <lambdabot> sequence_ ms = foldr (>>) (return ()) ms
12:59:11 <oerjan> fizzie: no, but monads differ in whether >> is strictest in the first or second argument
12:59:21 <shachaf> foldr (>>) is generally the way to go.
12:59:28 <shachaf> Monads want to be right-associated.
12:59:38 <oerjan> oh right that's just what it does

13:00:33 <shachaf> So you pretty much want to right-associate it.

13:00:49 <shachaf> Well, I guess you don't *have* to say that.
13:00:58 <shachaf> oerjan: Anyway the real answer is to use Codensity.
13:01:00 <oerjan> shachaf: no you don't, that makes it unnecessarily strict
