00:26:37 <zzo38> I thought it is clear. What part of #11 did you not understand?
00:28:46 <GreyKnight> well I can see what it does, I just don't know why
00:30:32 <zzo38> There was a mistake; I fixed it.
00:30:48 <zzo38> I wrote one letter wrong and missed one word. Now it is corrected.
00:30:57 <GreyKnight> is it to avoid some consequence of doing two such moves? Why not just forbid it and then you don't need a coinflip
00:30:58 <zzo38> Now is rule #11 understandable better?
00:31:44 <GreyKnight> I understand the text, I just don't know the rationale :-P
00:33:11 <GreyKnight> oh damn I just remembered I missed Jupiter's Christmas conjunction through being sick DDDD-:
00:33:55 <zzo38> Simply to add a small amount of chance in only a few cases, beings those symmetric move which, if everyone plays, results in too much symmetric position; therefore you don't play same move always
00:34:08 <zzo38> Jupiter's Christmas conjunction?
00:34:48 <GreyKnight> zzo38: also the rules don't specify what happens to ownership of a pawn if you convert it to a different colour (I assume it changes owners too?)
00:36:16 <GreyKnight> Jupiter had a conjunction with the moon on Christmas Day
00:36:45 <oerjan> moon conjunctions aren't particularly rare, anyway.
00:37:02 <zzo38> GreyKnight: Yes, it does change owner too

00:49:08 <zzo38> Of ecliptic longitude the conjunction is 16:17 in my timezone, but, according to what you will actually see, you have to consider such things as where you are, how close it is, size, refraction, and you need both coordinates not only one.
00:50:08 <Sgeo> nooodl, board game with almost no elements of chance, where co-operation with opponents is vital. So is backstabbing opponents.
00:50:33 <Sgeo> From TV Tropes
00:50:35 <Sgeo> "To bring an example of the convoluted nature of negotiations, it is not unusual for, say, France to engage in coordinated standoffs with Italy in order to fake a war with him, in order to satisfy Turkey, who demanded that France attack Italy in order to prevent Italy from attacking Austria while Turkey and Austria invade Russia together; the only reason France cares about what Turkey wants from him is that he and England are attempting to in
00:50:35 <Sgeo> vade Russia's allies in Germany, and the Turkish invasion will distract Russia's attention and prevent him from opening up another flank with England. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to France or Turkey, Italy has already made a deal with England to hold off his attack on Austria until the conquest of Germany is completed, at which point he and England will turn on France. It Makes Sense in Context."
00:50:45 * Sgeo goes to actually read what he just pasted
00:51:04 <Bike> man, that doesn't even mention greece at all
00:51:39 <zzo38> Do you know how Greece fits into all of this, though?
00:51:40 <Sgeo> ...my brain broke reading that
00:51:56 <GreyKnight> Sgeo: yeah, that looks like a bad place to learn the rules from :-P
00:52:11 <Sgeo> GreyKnight, I was reading one of the manuals
00:52:22 <Sgeo> I do know the basics vaguely
00:52:33 <Bike> oh, this is about a game, not world war i.

00:56:28 <Bike> hey, it's like munchkin!
00:56:43 <Bike> one time nobody noticed someone i was playing with had five different swords equipped
00:57:10 <GreyKnight> sounds like something Fighter McWarrior would do
00:57:32 <Sgeo> The only way that I can make sense of the word "munchkin" in what Bike just said is as a min/maxer, but that doesn't quite fit
00:58:10 <Bike> it is the name of a game
00:58:29 <Bike> but it is about minmaxing, so i award you two points in consolation.

03:02:33 <Bike> Sgeo: munchkin's top rule is actually "whoever shouts about the rule loudest wins".
03:03:01 <Sgeo> Is Munchkin actually a suitable game for munchkining?
03:03:16 <Bike> it's, uh, pretty hard to roleplay, if that's what you mean
03:03:22 <Fiora> I played it a couple times in college, it's extremely silly
03:03:34 <Fiora> it's probably not very fun if people take it too seriously
03:03:47 <Fiora> but it's incredibly hard to take seriously, which is the best part of it XD
03:03:54 <Sgeo> Fiora, that's what I mean, it doesn't seem like it lends itself to being taken seriously
03:03:54 <zzo38> The card game is OK, the board game is bad, in my opinion
03:04:03 <Fiora> ah, yeah, the card game. didn't know there was a board game
03:04:25 <Fiora> it's very munchkiny in the sense that it lets you stack up a billion bonuses, play combinations of cards for amusing results, and all that kind of stuff
03:04:30 <Bike> well, some people take it seriously, but then you can laugh at them.
03:04:40 <Fiora> but in a silly way
03:05:04 <Bike> as opposed to ultra serious laughter?
03:06:01 * Sgeo decides to read about F.A.T.A.L. again
03:06:48 <zzo38> In Magic: the Gathering cards you can also do something where combinations are played for various results, including making up puzzles or making up your own cards, or just playing the game normally; I like the puzzles, though. It is lesser in other games such as Pokemon card, although puzzles of that can be made up too.
03:11:44 -!- hagb4rd has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds).
03:12:15 <Arc_Koen> do you mean puzzles in a way similar to chess problems?
03:12:32 <zzo38> I have even made two Pokemon card puzzles.
03:12:41 <Sgeo> And for the fun part, the FATAL Games logo is "Where the dice never lie."
03:12:45 <Sgeo> ^^from the review
03:12:52 <Sgeo> "Sartin: Yeah, I really like that logo, too. It was nice of the FATALites to point out that when you play games from other companies, your dice may lie to you. Ha, I knew it! All those times I was playing D&D or SenZar, and that d20 would show a 3 or some shit when I knew I rolled a 20. Thanks, FATAL, for showing me the way!"
03:14:52 -!- hagb4rd has joined.
03:21:01 <zzo38> Have you made any chess problems?
03:21:19 <zzo38> Or, puzzle for Pokemon card or Magic: the Gathering card?
03:24:05 <zzo38> Another idea is making up some Pokemon card puzzle which may include extra cards that isn't real and is not even necessarily balanced or anything like that, and is only used for the puzzle game; it can be called "Fairy card".
03:25:39 <Arc_Koen> yes, i'm sure Clefairy isn't balanced or anything like that, and is never used for serious games
03:26:54 <zzo38> Arc_Koen: Not what I mean, of course.
03:27:18 <zzo38> I have done with Magic: the Gathering cards, just numbered some made up cards, no names other than their number specific to this puzzle.
03:27:31 <Arc_Koen> it's 4:30am and I'm sick so you should at least pretend that I am
03:27:32 <zzo38> Arc_Koen: Yes it is a bit funny, I suppose, too
03:28:46 <zzo38> With Pokemon card, though, the made-up card specific to the puzzle could be named by $ and a number, and if applicable, a level. And it is also possible there may be cards $1 [Lv.10] and $1 [Lv.15] to be two different cards, but anything evolving from $1 can be used with it, for example.
03:29:27 <zzo38> (The reason I used $ is because the other ASCII punctuation are mostly already used in my Pokemon card puzzles.)
03:29:39 <Arc_Koen> come on, you got approximately 700 different pokemon to work with, do you really need dollar symbols?
03:30:25 <zzo38> Arc_Koen: It is if you make up your own cards specific to the puzzle. If you use real cards, you would use their actual name instead.
03:30:50 <Arc_Koen> well you could make up a card then find a pokemon it looks like
03:31:18 <zzo38> Yes but then it might conflict with real card having the same name/level.
03:31:51 <kmc> aren't there like 2147483647 pokémon now anyway
03:31:56 <Arc_Koen> hmmm... but it's possible to have different cards for one pokemon, right?
03:32:07 <zzo38> Arc_Koen: Yes, as long as their levels ar different.
03:32:23 <Bike> just use ♀ for all pokemon names
03:32:33 <Arc_Koen> kmc: I believe there are a little under 700, but about a hundred of them have around twenty different possible shapes
03:32:58 <zzo38> No I want to use ASCII.
03:33:20 <zzo38> (I know some card names contain non-ASCII; so I use substitutions in that case)
03:33:21 <Arc_Koen> be strong! make up your own charset!
03:34:40 <zzo38> Of course I could do that, but I don't want to do that for this purpose, so I want to use ASCII instead.
03:36:24 <kmc> pok+AOk-mon
03:36:28 <Sgeo> Hmm, what's so bad about a 4d100/2-1 roll?
03:37:33 <Sgeo> Well, I guess rolling it repeatedly for stats that ultimately don't matter is probably annoying
03:39:51 <zzo38> kmc: Well, I don't want to.
03:40:43 <zzo38> Sgeo: I used Goldilock's method to roll for stats; what do you prefer?
03:41:04 <Sgeo> I haven't really ... er, designed an RPG.
03:41:08 <Sgeo> What's Goldilock's method?
03:46:19 <zzo38> Sgeo: Make up your own numbers 0 to 9 for each of six ability scores. Using these numbers for two separate results: Add 1d8 to each. Convert to a percentage. Lookup in the table: 1->6, 2->8, 3->9, 4->10, 10->11, 14->12, 19->13, 25->14, 30->15, 35->16, 48->17, 65->18, 77->19. Select one column of results. Calculate bonus points by the total subtracting from 72, divide by 3, add 2, minimum of 2.
03:46:47 <zzo38> Add bonus points according to your choice, but not above 18, and then apply racial modifiers.

03:52:36 <zzo38> Sgeo: Did you understand this?
03:53:59 <Sgeo> Didn't look at it closely
03:54:40 <Sgeo> I don't understand the "Using these numbers for two separate results" thing
03:55:43 <zzo38> What I mean is that the numbers 0 to 9 that you selected by yourself, are used twice; the process splits at that point. And then with the final results you can pick which one you preferred.
03:59:05 <Sgeo> "Of course, since both sub-abilities are (say it with me) totally random, we don't really know what happens when your Maximum Speech Rate ends up being lower than your Average Speech Rate, but it's just on this side of "totally possible"."
04:01:18 <zzo38> That isn't possible though. I don't even know if it becomes possible when probabilities are not limited to range 0 to 1.
04:01:50 <Bike> are you saying fatal is unrealistic
04:02:17 <zzo38> I am talking about probability, not about fatal or about unrealistic.

04:14:18 <Sgeo> This review actually says something good about FATAL.
04:14:30 <Sgeo> "After all this crap, though, I have to admit to one bright point. I liked how some of the sub-abilities provided real life-kinda examples or descriptions for each score. Like Strength listing how much you can lift, or the Vocal Charisma and Math columns I mentioned (okay, those ended up being dumb anyway, but the basic idea wasn't so bad). Examples like these can give solid ideas on how good a score really is, something many RPG systems have
04:14:31 <Sgeo> had trouble with."
04:15:48 <zzo38> What is a probability distribution called dealing with such thing as 4d6 drop lowest? What is a probability distribution called which is toss a coin until tails?
04:16:09 <Bike> isn't the latter a poisson
04:18:19 <coppro> we speak English and Finnish in here
04:18:51 <kmc> ääääääääääääääää
04:20:15 <zzo38> I think it is similar to Knuth's Poisson algorithm, but it isn't quite.
04:20:58 <Jafet> I'll go fish 'em too.
04:21:53 <kmc> number of flips needed to get tails would be a geometric distribution
04:22:10 -!- copumpkin has quit (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.).
04:23:25 <zzo38> But what distribution is 4d6 drop lowest?
04:25:33 <zzo38> What probability distribution would this be? Roll 1d20. If it is 1, then roll again and subtract 19; further 1s (but not 20s) continue rolling. If it is 20, then roll again and add 19; further 20s (but not 1s) continue rolling.
04:26:30 <kmc> it probably does not have a name
04:26:37 <kmc> it is the Zzo38 Distribution
04:26:54 <kmc> you can easily write its pdf though because it is discrete
04:28:03 <zzo38> O, it doesn't have a name.
04:31:29 <kmc> maybe it has a name but i do not know what the name (if any) is

14:42:37 <ais523> not sure how much further I can force the strategy

17:10:34 <tswett> If I understand this thing correctly, Godel's statement is not necessarily true in a consistent system.
17:11:00 <Taneb> It has to be sufficiently powerful
17:11:08 <hagb4rd> oh this one ist very minimalistic
17:11:10 <tswett> Like, consider first-order Peano arithmetic, and the Godel statement "the Godel statement of Peano arithmetic cannot be proved".
17:11:27 <oerjan> presbyter arithmetic or whatchamacallit
17:11:56 <tswett> There are models of Peano arithmetic in which that statement is false.
17:13:11 <hagb4rd> isn't that a radiohead song?
17:14:59 <oerjan> it has to be powerful enough to encode the existence of proofs in its own system, at least. and presumably to verify constructive proofs that it _isn't_ consistent.
17:16:28 <tswett> Yeah, but apparently that's not sufficient.
17:16:37 <tswett> Like I said, there are models of Peano arithmetic in which the Godel statement is false.

18:19:23 <buffer> kmc: hasn't the page fault exception handler been used and abused on x86, made public, advertised ruthlessly to papers and color-schemed magazines for years?
18:19:54 <buffer> I'm not impressed with this year's ccc assortment of talks
18:20:11 <kmc> i'm not saying it's novel research just that it probably contains stuff i don't know
18:20:20 <kmc> it sounds like it covers a lot more than the page fault exception handler
18:20:55 <buffer> In this talk we will give a (nearly) complete historic overview of creative uses of memory-related traps and faults by hardening patches such as OpenWall, PaX, and other less known but interesting projects, as well as by rootkit designs such as ShadowWalker, and by unorthodox reverse engineering and debugging systems such as OllyBone. We will then show some novel tricks with the x86 systems to both conceal and protect memory contents.
18:21:28 <kmc> they mention segmentation and task switch segment as well as interactions with TLB and other caching systems in the presence of multiprocessing
18:21:33 <kmc> so yeah, sounds cool

19:19:41 <kmc> sounds credible
19:21:03 <olsner> assuming the apocalypse does happen this time, he's been corrct one out of three times... you could do worse
19:23:25 <kmc> "The Earth would be destroyed by an asteroid, Nibiru, or some other interplanetary object; an alien invasion; or a supernova. Scientists from NASA, along with expert archeologists, stated that none of those events were possible."

19:23:58 <kmc> that seems to overstate the case

19:25:21 <oerjan> a supernova is pretty ruled out though, iirc
19:25:22 <kmc> they may already be among us
19:25:56 <fizzie> "He later stated that the end of the world had indeed begun on May 27, 2012, but would take "one year to become fulfilled". Weinland asserts that Christ will now return on Pentecost of 2013, which will fall on May 19, 2013."

19:27:14 <kmc> oerjan: yeah, i guess it depends on whether you include "we fundamentally misunderstand the laws of physics" in the scope of "possibility" or consider it to be some meta-theoretic thing
19:28:29 <kmc> also maybe aliens would detonate some kind of device inside the sun to make it go supernova prematurely
19:28:32 <kmc> 2010 style
19:30:21 <oerjan> s/prematurely/at all/, the sun is generally believed too small to become one
19:30:46 <shachaf> monqy: it's like :0 but with @ instead of 0
19:30:57 <olsner> maybe they could make it a whatever-it-would-be instead?
19:31:12 <olsner> if you can build a supernova device, that couldn't be too tricky
19:31:22 <oerjan> and then a white dwarf
19:31:27 <fizzie> This is something I've been wondering: when you're doing, say, Android development, and run a thing in the emulator, and want to perform a "pinch" gesture, what do you do? Install Multi-Pointer X, plug in a second mouse and do a two-handed pinch?
19:31:52 <oerjan> the vulcan android pinch
19:32:18 <oerjan> (star trek had some blowing up stars, i recall)
19:32:53 <olsner> fizzie: there's some thingy where you connect an android device to provide all touch input
19:33:13 <olsner> but then you could just test on that device instead of in the emulator
19:33:27 <fizzie> olsner: "Develop on Virtual Devices -- Advanced hardware emulation, including camera, sensors, multitouch, telephony" -- I suppose it's part of that.
19:33:57 <oerjan> now to turn the sun quickly into a red giant, it would seem you would have to get its hydrogen to fuse superfast, which would seem like it would blow it up anyhow.
19:36:42 <olsner> fizzie: that sounds like it might just be describing the emulator
19:37:16 <fizzie> olsner: Yes, but if it "emulates multitouch", I suppose it must have some way of performing it.
19:38:40 <fizzie> "The emulator supports multi-touch input, as an experimental feature in r17, using a tethered Android device running the SdkControllerMultitouch appplication."
19:38:49 <fizzie> Aw, apparently that's the only thing they support.
19:40:52 <olsner> iirc the emulator uses SDL, that might help you adjust your expectations
19:42:04 <fizzie> I saw something about doing hardware graphics acceleration. Though I suppose that doesn't exactly preclude SDL; there's OpenGL support in there.

20:17:31 <elliott> ais523: /home/foo/home/foo looks a bit silly
20:18:16 <olsner> I've seen /srv used for that in e.g. examples, but no idea if that agrees with the FHS
20:19:34 <fizzie> "/srv contains site-specific data which is served by this system. -- The methodology used to name subdirectories of /srv is unspecified as there is currently no consensus on how this should be done. One method for structuring data under /srv is by protocol, eg. ftp, rsync, www, and cvs. On large systems it can be useful to structure /srv by administrative context, such as /srv/physics/www, ...
20:19:40 <fizzie> ... /srv/compsci/cvs, etc. This setup will differ from host to host."
20:20:04 <ais523> I've seen /home structured by administrative context, on very large systems
20:21:01 <fizzie> My home directory is /u/22/htkallas/unix on the university systems.
20:21:31 <fizzie> /u has the subdirectories 01 .. 99, and there's some kind of a scheme to divide accounts into them.
20:22:15 <fizzie> (All 99 are separate NFS mounts.)
20:23:43 <fizzie> It's all very strange nowadays when it's full of Kerberos and Microsoft Active Directory.
20:24:13 <fizzie> My gid is 70000(Domain Users), for example.
20:25:02 <fizzie> And there's some kind of a thing where the regular Unix permissions sometimes show very misleading things, confusing some programs.
20:31:43 <fizzie> olsner: I have had that emulator running at 100% (single-core) CPU use for maybe twenty minutes now, trying to power off. I'm wondering if it's still actually doing anything or not; certainly it's still animating the twirly bit.
20:32:36 <olsner> fizzie: did you get the x86 and virtualization thing going?
20:32:52 <olsner> without that it's quite slow
20:34:16 <fizzie> olsner: I just started it out of curiosity, so no.
20:34:26 <fizzie> elliott: The dandruff emulator.
20:34:31 <fizzie> Or, wait... I think it was something else.
20:35:16 <fizzie> olsner: It was an ARM AVD, so it's not a surprise it's slow.
20:35:31 <fizzie> olsner: Still, it's been shutting down far longer than it took to start up (maybe 5 minutes?).
20:36:10 <olsner> if you're bored, just kill it?
20:37:19 <fizzie> But maybe it will get CORRPUTED.
20:37:25 <fizzie> Then again, I could just delete it...

23:18:17 <Taneb> By the way I finished my Fueue interpreter
23:18:58 <olsner> did you save the code?
23:24:16 <FreeFull> let remNth n = (a <- getLine) >> print $ map snd $ filter (\(x,y) -> x `mod` n == 0) $ zip [0..] a Why is it complaining and failing on the <-
23:25:40 <elliott> because that's not valid syntax
23:25:46 <elliott> do you want to use do notation or (>>) or (>>=)
23:26:19 <zzo38> But <- is not a expression.
23:26:36 <zzo38> You use <- for a do-notation
23:26:45 <elliott> well you didn't really use anything since your code doesn't make sense :P
23:27:00 <elliott> let's put it another way: why are you writing "(a <- getLine) >>"?
23:27:22 <zzo38> You can use getLine >>= print . map snd . filter (\(x,y) -> x `mod` n == 0) . zip [0..] maybe.
23:27:23 <FreeFull> Because I thought do notation and >> were equivalent
23:27:39 <zzo38> Or you can use >>= \a ->
23:27:51 <zzo38> Or do-notation with do { a <- getLine; ...
23:27:53 -!- Taneb has quit (Quit: Leaving).
23:28:02 <kmc> they are equivalent but that doesn't mean you can mix up the syntax however you like
23:28:08 -!- Taneb has joined.
23:28:27 <kmc> within do { ... } you have a sequence of statements; each statement is either an expression or (variable <- expression)
23:28:42 <kmc> (or let ... = ...)
23:28:45 <elliott> kmc: or other things which I am restraining myself from listing for the sake of pedagogy
23:28:58 <elliott> hard to control my inner pedant
23:29:03 <kmc> (variable <- expression) is not an expression by itself; it is a statement, and statements only make sense syntactically inside a 'do' block
23:29:17 <zzo38> And if you don't put <- then it is still the expression but with no variable binding.
23:29:19 <elliott> anyway do notation is more powerful than just (>>), you can rewrite any do block in terms of (>>=) though
23:29:27 * GreyKnight inserts an 'n' and gives elliott an inner necklace
23:29:28 <monqy> kmc: um list comprehensions!!!
23:29:29 <elliott> (m >> x is just m >>= \_ -> x)
23:29:50 <Bike> is let... not an expression
23:29:55 <kmc> elliott: those are the only 3 syntactic forms of statements in standard haskell
23:29:58 <kmc> "let ... in ..." is
23:30:00 <monqy> Bike: you're thinking of let...in...
23:30:11 <kmc> but 'do' supports an alternative form of 'let'
23:30:17 <zzo38> There are also <$> and join and other operations which can also be used for some purposes.
23:30:27 <elliott> kmc: I typed that before you listed the third kind
23:30:32 <kmc> do { let x = a; b; ... } === let x = a in do { b; ... }
23:30:33 <kmc> elliott: ok
23:31:26 <FreeFull> I use it even when I really should have used .

23:32:58 <lambdabot> Functor f => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b
