01:15:19 <Bike> charity suckiness gizmo
01:15:19 <elliott> they recommend charities based on analyses
01:15:26 <kmc> they try to determine the best few charities on a strict utilitarian basis
01:15:33 <kmc> so it's not just about whether the charities are lying or whatever

01:51:54 <Bike> that sounds terrifying
01:52:24 <elliott> i think once the trains get to a certain speed you might actually make people feel more comfortable by removing the windows
01:53:20 <Bike> isn't that what they did with conchord jets, or was that just technical limitations
01:54:13 <Bike> spelling is just the man's way of putting us down, man.
01:55:54 <kmc> nothing to see up there though
01:56:46 <kmc> "Concorde was equipped with smaller windows to reduce the rate of loss in the event of a breach"
01:56:58 <Jafet> This is why Neo didn't fight the establishment in japan
01:57:39 <kmc> sucks that they cancelled the concorde after one crash
01:57:54 <elliott> Reflecting the treaty between the French and British governments which led to Concorde's construction, the name Concorde is from the French word concorde (IPA: [kɔ̃kɔʁd]), which has an English equivalent, concord. Both words mean agreement, harmony or union.
01:58:00 <elliott> The aircraft was initially referred to in the UK as Concorde, with the French spelling, but was officially changed to Concord by Harold Macmillan in response to a perceived slight by Charles de Gaulle.[12]
01:58:04 <Jafet> They cancelled it because it didn't make money
01:58:15 <elliott> kmc: wikipedia lists several other factors
01:58:21 <elliott> ...it also says it was profitable :p
01:58:22 <kmc> sure, the accident was a convenient excuse
01:58:26 <kmc> still it was a major factor
01:58:44 <elliott> In 1967, at the French roll-out in Toulouse the British Government Minister for Technology, Tony Benn, announced that he would change the spelling back to Concorde.[12] This created a nationalist uproar that died down when Benn stated that the suffixed ⟨e⟩ represented "Excellence, England, Europe and Entente (Cordiale)."

01:59:05 <kmc> that's fantastic
01:59:14 <elliott> the 60s: what??? what happened
01:59:41 <elliott> I like the idea of a "Europe" suffix being considered a positive nationalist thing in Britain
01:59:49 <Jafet> I think it was profitable until they had to pay the designers
02:00:11 <Jafet> Yes, Britain and Europe are two distinct nations
02:00:28 <kmc> two countries separated by the english channel
02:00:52 <Jafet> More than BBC separates these feuding families
02:01:16 <kmc> meanwhile the 747 has crashed like 50 times
02:01:39 <GreyKnight> Clubs, bills, and partisans! Strike! Beat them down!
02:02:23 <kmc> i think concorde still has one of the best safety rates per hour flown, but i'm not sure
02:02:43 <Jafet> That's mainly because everyone, including idiots, use 747s
02:03:06 <kmc> possibly related to the fact that it didn't fly with Crazy Holiday Discount Airlines
02:03:18 <Jafet> Also cars have crashed a billion times or so

03:44:39 <elliott> "While Allied forces explained the causes of violations as navigation errors, equipment failure, weather conditions, and pilots’ errors, in Switzerland fear was expressed that some neutrality violations were intended to exert pressure on the country to end its economic cooperation with Nazi Germany."
03:44:46 <Bike> "whoops, sorry, missed. you know, have you ever really looked at your hands?"
03:44:54 <elliott> the whole structure we build up around bombing the fuck out of people is amazing to me
03:45:10 <Bike> i think you mean Strategic Bombing
03:45:15 <elliott> "sorry, we can't murder people in switzerland. they said they didn't want it"
03:45:45 <Bike> how many people died, anyway. 21, from the article?
03:45:48 <hagb4rd> well..communication is everything
03:46:13 <Bike> switzerland you wuss, russia lost like four billion
03:46:20 -!- DH____ has joined.
03:46:24 <elliott> well 21 people is like half of switzerland's population
03:47:02 <elliott> okay it's actually 0.0002625%
03:47:09 <Bike> i guess the other half were /really/ into selling nazis things if they overlooked the bombing then
03:47:27 <elliott> well all the swiss do is spend lots of money
03:47:37 <elliott> and have a flag that's the wrong fucking shape
03:47:48 <Bike> nepal does too... is it a mountain thing
03:47:53 <Bike> also: which kind is giger

03:49:13 <elliott> the evidence-gathering is up to you
03:49:16 <Bike> hm, bhutan's is the right shape, but there's a pretty kitschy dragon on it
03:49:50 <elliott> i guess they are into direct democracy because you can't really sustain a government with 42 people
03:50:03 <Bike> i... can't think of any other mountain countries? at least, ones that are tiny
03:50:14 <elliott> Bike: wtf are you talking about, that dragon is metal as hell
03:50:53 <Bike> i must respectfully disagree, and furthermore postulate that you are in fact fucked

03:51:40 <Bike> oh jesus is it carrying fruit
03:52:24 <elliott> are you going to tell a dragon it can't fucking carry fruit
03:52:57 <Bike> ok apparently their anthem is "The Thunder Dragon Kingdom"
03:53:05 <Bike> i guess that makes up for the fruit
03:53:20 <hagb4rd> o yes fruits.. i need fruits
03:53:34 <Bike> oh shit it has an official dance
03:53:40 <Bike> every anthem should have a dance.
03:53:47 <Bike> eat an orange, ciel.
03:54:31 <kmc> switzerland is also into not letting women vote
03:55:36 <elliott> well if you get bombed and only have 21 people left
03:55:40 <elliott> it's possible none of them are women
03:55:50 <elliott> like maybe the bomb managed to kill all the women and nobody else
03:56:56 <elliott> well it's entirely possible all the men were misogynists who were glad to be rid of them
03:57:29 <Bike> so, i went looking for small mountain countries, and «The Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus (MRNC; also known as the Mountain Republic or the Republic of the Mountaineers; 1917–1920) was a short-lived state»
03:59:00 <Bike> it was during the early modern "fucking clusterfuck
03:59:05 <Bike> " period of russian history.
03:59:37 <hagb4rd> you need to look for countries _surrounded by_ mountains..
03:59:56 <Bike> isn't that only switzerland
04:00:21 <elliott> switzerland is actually a crater
04:00:26 <elliott> created during the wwii bombinbs of switzerland
04:00:37 <hagb4rd> though hannibal was crossing the alps with his war elephants to kick the shit out of rome
04:00:51 <Bike> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swaziland okay how about this, this could work
04:01:01 <Bike> their flag has a normal shape too...
04:01:26 <Fiora> aren't some countries like kyrgystan practically surrounded by mountains?
04:01:45 <kmc> you get a B+ in "spelling kyrgyzstan"
04:02:04 <hagb4rd> it's not surrounded by mountains..
04:02:05 <elliott> kmc: kyrgyzstan get an F- in "naming your country"
04:02:06 <Bike> too big, i'm telling you
04:02:28 <hagb4rd> but you can't beat the folks out of that mountains in the north
04:02:32 <Bike> also swaziland has an average life expectancy of 31.88 years
04:02:32 <kmc> "clinton deploys vowels to bosnia"
04:02:37 <Bike> so uh. that's pretty sad.
04:02:46 <kmc> "cities of sjlbvdnzv, grzny to be first recipients"
04:03:14 <Bike> "let's lighten your mood with bosnia jokes"

04:03:43 <hagb4rd> or even sealand with its 3 or 4 M60 brownings machine guns
04:03:53 <kmc> "His government members were also not always well-chosen. For instance, the Foreign Affairs Deputy Dr. Franz Lipp (who had been admitted several times to psychiatric hospitals), declared war on Switzerland over the Swiss refusal to lend 60 locomotives"
04:04:07 <kmc> "He also claimed to be well acquainted with Pope Benedict XV and he informed Vladimir Lenin via cable that the ousted former Minister-President Hoffmann had fled to Bamberg and taken the key to the ministry toilet with him."
04:04:26 <Bike> i think we found out why all the swiss died, elliott.
04:04:36 <elliott> i think i found my new hero
04:05:17 <Bike> "he was shot dead by the right-wing nationalist Anton Graf von Arco auf Valley, who was rejected from membership in the Thule Society because of Jewish ancestry on his mother's side" why do they mention this? how is it related
04:05:48 <Jafet> It's part of a jewish conspiracy
04:06:06 <Bike> oh dang this article has both the thule society and thurn und taxis, that's like half a conspiracy bingo.
04:06:15 <Bike> oh, and communists.
04:06:42 <hagb4rd> and don't forget: the beavers
04:07:22 <kmc> i like the idea that if you name your country a Soviet Republic you automatically get the right to call up Lenin on the telephone and complain about bathroom pranks
04:07:42 <elliott> well why else would you do it
04:08:43 <kmc> and then he's just like http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz3xws8MGl1r8wxeyo1_500.jpg

04:53:59 <kmc> all you have to do is convince a japanese mobile phone company to add it to their proprietary encodings
04:54:26 <kmc> then apple and facebook will campaign to add it to unicode so they don't fall behind in the lucrative japanese people sending cat faces to each other market

06:08:28 <zzo38> Are you going to do something about the [[International transportation]] article on esolang wiki? (1) It is only one sentence. (2) It is in the main namespace. (3) It is not related to esolang (or anything else, really). (4) The user made no other edits. I suggest either deleting or moving to [[User:Asmun/Sandbox]] without a redirect.
06:14:08 <GreyKnight> elliott thinks it is funny and refuses to delete it
06:16:24 <kmc> it's an esolang with one command
06:17:10 <zzo38> I also am unsure to delete it, but I think it should at least be moved; it is why I suggested that.
06:19:33 <kmc> TIL that burned whole rye grains smell the same as burned popcorn
06:21:24 <zzo38> Move it to [[User:Asmun/International_transportation]] if you don't like [[User:Asmun/Sandbox]]
06:21:56 <shachaf> zzo38: But what if I want to learn more about international transportation?
06:22:25 <kmc> no you can only learn about international shipping
06:22:38 <zzo38> shachaf: Then you should look on Wikipedia; the one sentence there explains nothing about it and its external link doesn't explain either.
06:23:29 <zzo38> Anyways I think it belongs in the User: namespace, not the main namespace, so if you agree, that is why I suggested [[User:Asmun/International_transportation]]. If you disagree, that is OK too but at least I suggest this so we can see who agree/disagree with me.
06:27:34 <GreyKnight> It doesn't *belong* anywhere because it's spam. But it's funny spam because they failed to insert a link to their website.
06:28:16 <GreyKnight> Right now it is staying because elliott finds it amusing, after he gets bored with it I guess it will get deleted?
06:31:56 <zzo38> Well, yes, it is spam too
06:32:14 <zzo38> But if it should go anywhere, it should go in the User: namespace. Otherwise, it should be deleted.

14:46:27 <oerjan> GreyKnight: tell him not to switch between vous and tu like that
14:47:39 <GreyKnight> I hoped that http://esolangs.org/wiki/Ragaraja would actually have 1000 operations as claimed, but looks like he chickened out
14:47:49 <fizzie> GreyKnight: Wow, that's a cheap cable. I mean, compare it for a mid-range HDMI cable like http://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-3m-Carbon-HDMI-Cable/dp/B0038LYHDE/ref=sr_1_2
14:49:11 <GreyKnight> I wouldn't pay that much for a *device* to plug the cable *into*
14:50:21 <fizzie> You can pay $13000 for a speaker cable, but at least that's an analog thing.
14:50:43 <fizzie> Still, a 15-metre HDMI cable for $2099.95? http://www.amazon.com/World-Silver-Starlight-Cable-Meters/dp/B002YFTMEO/ref=sr_1_8
14:51:22 <fizzie> (Ref. for the earlier: http://www.amazon.com/WireWorld-Platinum-Eclipse-Standard-Speaker/dp/B008K473NA/ref=sr_1_1 $13199.95.)
14:51:29 <GreyKnight> none of this explains why we're gold-plating an optical cable. Maybe just for the bling value, if cables sell for this kind of money
14:52:00 <fizzie> Obviously it's gold-plated to "provide clear, full and richly detailed sound".
14:52:51 <GreyKnight> "Platinum Eclipse is the cable for perfectionists with elite reference standard audio systems." Boke and lies
14:53:15 <GreyKnight> it's for people who use £50 notes as kindling to start their fire
14:53:39 <fizzie> GreyKnight: Here's a $1088.75 optical cable for you: http://www.amazon.com/Audioquest-Diamond-Fiber-Digital-Toslink/dp/B0073TB78A/ref=sr_1_42
14:53:43 <GreyKnight> Is there a way I can find out everyone who's bought one of these, so I can go visit them and smack them in the head
14:54:11 <fizzie> It's not gold-plated though. :/
14:54:19 <fizzie> I suppose that would be too much to ask for a thousand-dollar cable.
14:55:05 <GreyKnight> Is this actual diamond fiber? If not why not
14:56:32 <fizzie> It has "280 narrow aperture quartz (fused-silica) fibers", I think.
14:57:16 <oerjan> confusing carbon and silicon? must be aliens.
14:57:41 <fizzie> "Diamond" (as far as I can tell) just refers to the color.
14:57:59 <fizzie> It's available in "Forst", "Cinnamon", "Vodka" and "Diamond" colors.
14:58:24 <fizzie> (Also known as "green", "red", "blue" and "grey" in the common speech of lesser men.)

15:02:25 <fizzie> (Also the green one was "Forest", not "Forst".)
15:02:43 <greyooze> I am also disappointed that these aren't made of actual diamond: http://www.amazon.com/Waterfall-Audio-Niagara-Standing-Loudspeakers/dp/B002BSH27I/ref=pd_sim_sbs_e_2

17:40:19 <fizzie> "They may also be held to the foot with a single strap over the front --" see, it doesn't have to use in-toe signaling.
17:40:26 <fizzie> I mean, a between-toe band.
17:40:44 <oerjan> fizzie: um that was the distinction of flip-flops, afaict
17:41:31 <fizzie> I would have thought it's more about not having more than the strap in front, no matter whether it has that between-toes bit or not.
17:41:49 <fizzie> "[Flip-flops] consist of a flat sole held loosely on the foot by a Y-shaped strap that passes between the first and second toes and around either side of the foot. They may also be held to the foot with a single strap over the front of the foot rather than a thong."
17:41:56 <fizzie> That's what Wikipedia says.
17:43:01 <fizzie> I mean, the sandals still flip-flop if there's a single front-strap that goes over the whole foot, so they ought to be flip-flops.
17:43:57 <fizzie> "6. A plastic or rubber sandal consisting of a flat sole and straps. Also attrib." (OED) well that's not very distinctive.
17:45:06 <fizzie> "2. flip-flop, thong -- (a backless sandal held to the foot by a thong between the big toe and the second toe)" I see wordnet is a strict orthodox between-toe flip-floppist.

19:06:35 <kmc> http://www.progressiveboink.com/2012/12/4/3727746/the-oatmeal-rape-joke
19:08:45 <elliott> the oatmeal guy has actually given talks at, like, SEO conferences about how the literal entire aim of the comic is to get pageviews from reddit and that he doesn't even care a single bit about anything he writes about
19:09:24 <kmc> it's a little bit weird that we judge content creators by motivation rather than what they create
19:09:51 <elliott> I judge the guy for having completely slimy motivation
19:09:52 <hagb4rd_> aw..motivation is goin a long way
19:09:55 <elliott> and therefore won't read his comic
19:10:44 <monqy> well his comic is bad too so
19:11:00 <Bike> "You can go back to reading The Family Circus now." for god's sake
19:11:12 <elliott> monqy: yes that's the nice advantage, I don't even miss out on anything
19:13:19 <hagb4rd_> for some reason you know this guy and even parts of his biography and work..i'm sure you have your reasons to boycott his works elliott.. and truly it wasn't that funny at all
19:14:00 <elliott> i am secretly the author of the oatmeal perpetrating an immense act of reverse psychology
19:14:08 <Sgeo> I think he does have a point though. People make jokes about all sorts of horrible things, is making a joke about this one horrible thing worse than those other horrible things?
19:15:16 -!- elliott has left ("preemptive").
19:15:16 <kmc> yes because of pervasive sexism in the communities that read theoatmeal
19:15:21 <kmc> it's not even a joke about rape
19:15:33 <kmc> it's a joke about something else, which uses rape as a lighthearted fun-times analogy
19:16:03 <GreyKnight> while I so far agree with the progressiveboink article's author, I strongly associate white guys who make heavy use of the word "privilege" with a variant of Nice Guy Syndrome so bleh
19:16:09 <kmc> i'm not saying it would be impossible to make a legitimately worthwhile joke about rape
19:16:22 <kmc> but this idea that you can just tack "RAPE!! LOLOLOLOL" onto any unfunny shit and make it funny is really bad
19:16:29 <Sgeo> kmc, good point
19:16:46 <Bike> maybe the analogy to other horrible things would be like "i machete the shit out of my tutsi f5 key" or... something less forced
19:16:48 <hagb4rd_> it is not funny. but it's not the same as raping
19:16:59 <kmc> GreyKnight: so, in your mind is there any way for a white guy to care about social justice
19:17:04 <kmc> or are we automatically poseurs
19:17:16 <kmc> i think this kind of attitude is a litiiitle bit counterproductive
19:17:31 <kmc> if you have privilege you should acknowledge that you have privilege and use it for good not evil
19:17:47 <Sgeo> Bike, there may be less of a reaction to that, largely because there are likely to be fewer readers directly affected by that event
19:18:47 <Fiora> pretty much you just have to realize that "privilege" means "I don't have to deal with X, while other people who don't have that privilege do, and I should be careful not to assume that everyone is like me in that regard", and that it's not a thing that makes you a bad person
19:19:53 <Bike> Sgeo: shittiness isn't just a function of who complains about you, of course
19:20:02 <kmc> the daniel tosh thing was similar... people talked about it as if he made some clever edgy joke about rape that society just wasn't ready for
19:20:13 <kmc> actually there was a woman heckling him and he just said wouldn't it be great if she got raped
19:20:26 <hagb4rd_> <Bike>maybe the analogy to other horrible things would be like "i machete the shit out of my tutsi f5 key" or... something less forced <-- the tragedy here is not a scene of rape.. but problems woith the internet dude.. words are walking sticks.. and if you feel guilty for this in some way you can go and be the saviour for the girl next door.. i don't want to support this shit, just don't like this touch of overdriven and misplaced mor
19:20:30 <Bike> do people actually like tosh? from what i've seen he just runs Stupid Youtube Videos: The Show
19:20:45 <kmc> dunno, apparently at least one person went to his show
19:20:53 <Fiora> kmc: it's like how white dudes really, really, REALLY want to be able to say the n-word
19:21:02 <Fiora> and the fact that they can't is ~oppressino~
19:21:09 <kmc> so yeah i think the conversation about "can rape jokes ever be funny" is really missing the point
19:21:15 <Bike> «Despite its popularity among males, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is one of the most subtly misandric show I have seen» speaking of which
19:21:17 <GreyKnight> it's a specific example, I guess, of how people can use particular bits of vocabulary to show how knowledgeable they are about something without actually needing to hold the relevant principles. "Privilege" as jargon is just one such vocabulary term.

19:29:40 <GreyKnight> Sgeo: I agree with the observation that people seem to raise much more of an outcry over rape jokes than murder jokes (has ctrlaltdelete had a rape fiasco yet? That would be a test of this hypothesis). I don't know why though.
19:30:24 <hagb4rd_> damn, i missed my train following this conversation engaging the popularity of one asshole spitting empty words at another who made his luck writing some kind of infantile jokes
19:30:25 <Sgeo> Rape is a thing that happens to people, but so is murder (although it's not the victims who would be upset at murder jokes, but their loved ones)
19:30:27 <Fiora> GreyKnight: in a random sample of an american audience, 1 in 12 people will have been raped
19:30:42 <Fiora> so, if you make a rape joke in front of an audience, ~8% of those people will have experienced the thing you're joking about
19:30:48 <Sgeo> Fiora, holy crap
19:30:49 <Fiora> they may have PTSD flashbacks
19:31:00 <Fiora> nobody in that audience has been murdered.
19:31:29 <Fiora> hence why rape jokes are bad -- when you make them, there's a good cahnce some people listening /have been raped/
19:31:45 <Fiora> and you're mocking them, making them feel awful, and contributing to society trivializing their experience
19:32:00 <Fiora> whereas nobody trivializes murder
19:32:14 <Fiora> http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0hy07rRzS1qcfypgo1_500.jpg <-- good example
19:32:32 <Sgeo> Fiora, very good point (except for "nobody trivializes murder", not sure if that's true)
19:32:36 <GreyKnight> <Fiora> nobody in that audience has been murdered <-- hmm I guess that is an obvious point
19:32:58 <Fiora> if your friend is murdered, most people will probably not go around saying he was a slut and it was his fault for wearing the wrong clothes
19:33:12 <Sgeo> Fiora, I thought you meant as in jokes trivializing it
19:33:13 <Fiora> i.e. people don't generally victim-blame for murder
19:33:19 <Fiora> well, it contributes to the whole thing
19:33:26 <GreyKnight> sgeo: Fiora means actual murders I think

21:52:35 <zzo38> I had idea of the chess variant where the number of different kind of pieces is exactly one googolplex, and the number of squares is also exactly one googolplex (this game is impossible to play within our universe, but may be possible to define).
21:53:48 <zzo38> A movement pattern is defined using a 10x10 grid of numbers 0 to 9, such that none are subsets (even trivial subsets) of others. A piece is defined by assigning one of ten modes to each possible movement pattern, such that there are no redundancies. (I am not exactly sure how to do this, but I have some ideas.)
21:56:11 <zzo38> Do you have any ideas related to this?
21:59:07 <GreyKnight> why not go the whole hog and have an infinite number of types of piece on an infinitely large board?
21:59:45 <zzo38> Because I intend to make it exactly googolplex; so finite but very large.
22:02:48 <GreyKnight> well, what do you want to analyse about it?
22:05:20 <zzo38> At first, nothing; I only want to define it. Other analysis can be done later if it is wanted. To make the definition small enough, it is why I suggested something like the above pattern. Anyways if you are esoteric programming community we should know why we are doing it like this regardless of such things as analysis.
22:08:53 <GreyKnight> well I can see how to lay it out, it just doesn't seem like it will have very interesting properties (no offence)
22:10:23 <GreyKnight> so I was wondering if there was some property that you had in mind
22:13:08 <GreyKnight> One way to define piece types is to imagine the piece at the centre of a 19x19 region (i.e. 10 squares from the centre to each edge). Then you take all the possible combinations of having each square movable to and/or capturable to
22:13:23 <GreyKnight> (these can be independent: see FIDE pawns for instance)
22:14:41 <GreyKnight> that won't give a googolplex of piece types but if you restrict the symmetries of the movement pattern you might reach it
22:17:35 <lambdabot> 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000...
22:17:51 <GreyKnight> and the rest is an exercise for the reader
22:28:49 <GreyKnight> zzo38: if your imaginary "move region" has radius R (R=10 for my example above) and we assume that staying in the same spot is an invalid move, then there are 4^((2R+1)^2-1) possible piece types in the absence of symmetry constraints
22:32:10 <GreyKnight> so 4^(4R^2 - 4R) types I guess (what a pretty expression)

22:56:25 <zzo38> Yes, to think of symmetry too; I suggested to make that none are subsets of another, in order to ensure each is unique; but then all zeros must also correspond to some move pattern too, or if it doesn't, it can instead correspond to some other special feature of the piece; however it still require to be the case each piece different; but allowing a piece that stands still and does nothing is OK
22:57:08 <zzo38> I do intend null moves are invalid; however, a move that stays in the same spot might still affect other things on the board so it is not necessarily a null move.
23:00:36 <GreyKnight> what do you mean by null move in that case?
23:01:14 <zzo38> Null move is passing your turn.
23:01:29 <fizzie> All of Steam's "A game on your wishlist is on sale!" email notifications have so far proudly boasted "0% off!", not exactly the best deal I've heard of.
23:02:14 <GreyKnight> how is a move that keeps the piece in the same spot different from a null move? That is how I would have defined "null move".
23:02:42 <fizzie> I suppose I should take solace in that.
23:04:03 <zzo38> GreyKnight: I mean such things as rifle moves and so on may be difference from null moves.
23:07:00 <GreyKnight> I don't know what that is but I am imagining chess where the pieces have firearms

23:10:48 <zzo38> I mean a move that you can remove another piece from the board even though the piece capturing it stays in its same place.
23:14:55 <GreyKnight> hm well my above formula didn't take such moves into account
23:18:14 <GreyKnight> you could break it down by a move consisting of two subparts: capturing a piece from one of some set of squares, and moving to one of some set of squares (not necessarily the same set), or just moving to some set of squares (possibly a different set again)
23:18:53 <GreyKnight> only the middle of those three sets needs to allow the current square as valid

23:42:30 <fizzie> fungot: Are you actually written in Scheme, and all that Funge-98 code is just a sham?
23:42:31 <fungot> fizzie: i can calculate the new guess, and compare that to the binding of unquote as was bound by ( lambda ( x k')
23:43:15 <GreyKnight> the funge code actually just shells out to run a scheme interpreter
