00:23:26 <ThatOtherPerson> The bugfix was supposed to remove a certain element from an array; but it instead removed all other elements from the array.

00:31:25 <ThatOtherPerson> Wow
00:35:18 <ThatOtherPerson> I am so bad at my own game
00:35:26 <ThatOtherPerson> Solution: make game easier
00:36:20 <Bike> coward
00:37:10 <zzo38> No, solution is add a difficulty setting.
00:37:28 <mnoqy> no solution is to add a difficulty setting.
00:38:30 <ThatOtherPerson> It gets harder as it goes along
00:38:43 <ThatOtherPerson> So just make it easier at the beginning
00:43:39 <zzo38> What game is it?
00:45:00 <ais523> when designing game levels for the first time, it's quite easy to make them too difficult and have to make easier ones
00:45:05 <ais523> fwiw, the first designed level of DNA Maze was level 10
00:45:18 <ais523> I realised it was too hard for a first level, so I added 9 before it
00:47:41 <zzo38> Yes, add more levels, is also one thing to do, if it is that kinds of games. There might be a level selector, though, too, depending on the game.
00:49:17 <ThatOtherPerson> There's just one level that gets harder and harder

01:01:29 <zzo38> Perhaps to allow to set the initial and maximum setting. Pokemon de Panepon almost does this: You can set the starting speed/ojama level 1 to 99, and there is also a "slow mode" which does not change. In addition, speed level 99 is not fast enough but if you push B,A,left,left when the copyright notice is displayed, then it will make the game much faster.
01:03:01 -!- sebbu has joined.
01:03:36 <zzo38> In addition, there is also hidden option menu, which allows you to change the sound effect for chain/combo, turn on/off music and sound effect, and to change the number of digits of the score from 5 to 6. (I don't know why they made the score like this. If set to 5 (the default), the score maxes out at 99999. I have gotten many more points than that, though.)

01:09:12 <zzo38> That game also has a hidden difficulty setting in VS.COM mode, which is a lot more difficult than the ordinary "hard" setting, but I still think it is too easy, so I have added a cheat code to speed it up to the maximum speed. I still have not completed that mode 100% when it is like this, although I completed some rounds.

05:31:18 <HackEgo> 249) <treederwright> enjoy being locked in your matrix of solidity
05:31:24 <Bike> nice
05:31:26 <Bike> i'll take that
05:31:34 <mnoqy> elliott: well maybe it's not a castle what if it's a normal house for people in it
05:31:38 <shachaf> hey can i steal Bike's password
05:31:40 <elliott> Bike: i have to write the keylogger first sorry
05:31:53 <Bike> i'll wait here
05:31:58 <mnoqy> elliott: or a chicken probably you could make that work i'm sure you have the clever and the knack i'm sure you could
05:31:59 <elliott> Bike: also i thought you wanted me to sleep
05:32:05 <shachaf> Bike: why don't you make yourself useful, write a keylogger for elliott
05:32:09 <elliott> mnoqy: well i'd prefer a castle
05:32:14 <Bike> well yes, but i'm sufficiently irritated at technology that you should do this
05:32:15 <shachaf> when he wakes up you can send it to him and then he'll give you your account
05:32:16 <mnoqy> what if it's a space ship
05:32:18 <Bike> i dunno you could do it tomorrow
05:32:19 <shachaf> problem slvoed
05:32:20 <mnoqy> or a space castle
05:32:23 <elliott> underhanded c contest idea: write a keylogger that also leaks the data to a server of your own
05:32:39 <elliott> fun because anyone reading the code will expect it to do malicious things

18:14:32 <Phantom___Hoover> why does the internet hate me
18:15:08 <AnotherTest> it does?
18:15:22 <AnotherTest> Maybe it's because you're not using IPv6
18:15:29 <AnotherTest> although then the it surely hates me too

18:27:04 <elliott> Phantom__Hoover: mathoverflow is an independent site that runs on an old version of the stack overflow software
18:27:14 <elliott> http://math.stackexchange.com/ is part of the actual stackexchange network thing

18:30:30 <AnotherTest> Why do I have 101 reputation right after logging in?

18:31:22 <Phantom__Hoover> Taneb's shitty connection is a conspiracy to get him outside
18:31:32 <Taneb> Also I tried picking a fight with someone in a maths classroom but we didn't know what to do next
18:31:52 <Taneb> It seems I am neither a lover nor a fighter, and for the same reason

18:52:26 <zzo38> Are you sure the most secure isn't Lynx or something like that? Or something with a VM for each file?

19:11:07 <Bike> it's a good and accurate image
19:12:09 <olsner> Gregor: mmyeah... think of the intersection between read-only and write-only or so

19:12:53 <Gregor> The bitwise and.
19:16:47 <olsner> or take read-only = unwritable and write-only = unreadable perhaps? except that unreadable includes all permissions except read, while write-only only includes write

19:29:04 <pikhq> I'm not entirely sure if one could.
19:29:07 <Bike> i mean look at the problems with even tetration on non-naturals
19:29:11 <pikhq> I just know it generally isn't. :)
19:29:22 <Bike> i.e. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetration#Extension_to_real_heights
19:30:55 -!- mroman has joined.
19:31:34 <Bike> might be some interesting math in there though, like a generalized euler formula or w/e
19:32:03 <mroman> Does a morphism map between categories?
19:32:16 <Bike> between objects in a category
19:32:27 <mroman> But inside the same category?
19:32:39 <mroman> so f : A -> B means, that B is still in the same category?
19:32:52 <Bike> far as i know
19:32:54 <mroman> an object of that category
19:33:14 <mroman> whereas a functor assigns to an object in Category A an object in Category B?
19:33:48 <Bike> yeah
19:33:54 <pikhq> http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=graph+random+pokemon+curve I've heard of silly features but dang.
19:34:10 <mroman> Then what sense does it make to subscript id?
19:34:19 <mroman> i.e f * g = id_b
19:34:30 <elliott> mroman: a functor doesn't just do that
19:34:36 <Bike> because morphisms are between individual objects
19:34:53 <Bike> there can be a different (identity) morphism X -> X from Y -> Y, for X and Y in the same category
19:34:55 <elliott> a functor maps objects in C to objects in D and also morphisms (A ->C B) to morphisms (F(A) ->D F(B))
19:34:55 <mroman> So every object has an identity morphism?
19:35:04 <mroman> elliott: I know.
19:35:11 <Bike> pikhq: that's fantastic.
19:35:21 <mroman> but id_B is the identity morphism of an Object called B?
19:35:33 <mroman> but still in the same category?
19:35:41 <Bike> is what in the same category
19:35:50 <pikhq> Bike: If you look up $POKEMON-like curve it'll even hand you the parametric equations.
19:36:04 <Bike> pikhq: i like that they're imperfect
19:36:38 <kmc> http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=cannabis+curve
19:36:52 <mroman> Ok.
19:36:55 <mroman> I see.
19:37:49 <Bike> AnotherTest: the problem with defining extensions like that is that you generally want them to "fit" what you've already got well, which is not always trivial (c.f. gamma function)
19:38:15 <Bike> (in which there are infinitely many possible extensions but luckily only one that fits some useful properties, so we use that one)
19:38:35 <AnotherTest> Bike: so maybe we can be lucky here too?
19:38:48 <mroman> The notation is really confusing :)
19:38:51 <Bike> sure, but you have to work on it
19:38:59 <Bike> and hyper operations are rather obscure
19:39:07 <Bike> and the situation already seems a tad hopeless for tetration
19:39:21 <AnotherTest> Bike: I'm afraid my mathematics skill are not good enough to work on this (which is also why I'm asking)
19:39:31 <AnotherTest> *skills
19:39:41 <Bike> well i don't know much about it either, i'm just saying not many mathematicians have bothered with hyper operations
19:40:15 <Bike> they're generally used for getting /really/ big numbers, like for knuth's combinatorics and graham's (which is also pretty combinatoric), so they might not bother investigating the properties too much
19:40:23 <Bike> then again knuth's written plenty on the related W function so i dunno.
19:41:03 <Bike> (related -> apparently tetration on infinities uses it, reasonably enough)

20:57:30 <boily> I like my chars like I like my women. only one.
20:57:30 <pikhq> Hey, there's a perfectly valid use of sizeof(char). It lets you do a value of type size_t without size_t being defined. :P
20:58:07 <Fiora> that is an amazing page kmc
20:58:19 <Fiora> and geez. using floats
20:58:32 <Bike_> "they have a bigger range!"
20:58:38 <Fiora> I mean, at least arguably doubles would be big enough that they have enough precision for the calculation (but oh gosh why not just use uint64_t ... )
20:59:03 <olsner> maybe because uint64_t isn't C89
20:59:35 <pikhq> Yeah, well, fuck Visual C++.
20:59:37 <Fiora> ummmmm unsigned long long? I guess in theory that could be the same size as unsigned int

21:03:32 <Fiora> thus breaking backwards compatibility, I think
21:03:47 <fizzie> I still think a short long int should be just a regular int, and in general each long would double the size and each short halve it. (Not sure about fractional bits.)
21:04:32 <pikhq> Fiora: Specifically, it'd break ABI.

21:12:44 <elliott> i knew someone would sai that

21:13:03 <elliott> several months

21:15:08 <elliott> so i said like
21:15:09 <elliott> 1+1+1+1

22:12:28 <shachaf> Since I don't edit Wikipedia, and I noticed moer vandalism, I thought maybe you could do the same thing.
22:19:24 <nooodl_> wow i'm gonna use ij more
22:19:36 <Bike> good digraph
22:20:26 <nooodl_> pretty sure nobody types ij as ij anywhere
22:20:38 <shachaf> ij that so?
22:20:45 <Bike> i've heard rumors that they do in the darkness of the nether-lands
22:20:53 <kmc> the low countries
22:21:14 <olsner> you could map ijour ij key to ij
22:21:23 <nooodl_> maybe it's like ffi
22:21:54 -!- rapido has joined.
22:22:23 <nooodl_> really why do unicode ligatures exist urgh
22:23:11 <kmc> often for reasons of round-trip compat.
22:23:23 <nooodl_> mmm
22:23:24 <kmc> which is a dumb goal but without it we might not have unicode at all...........
22:23:38 <nooodl_> i guess
22:23:46 <shachaf> how do you catch a unique code
22:23:47 <nooodl_> i can somehow see why, for example, fi exists, but
22:23:59 <nooodl_> does anyone but me even write ij as something that isn't just ij
22:24:09 <elliott> it isn't about what people do
22:24:12 <elliott> it's about what charsets do
22:24:20 <kmc> if you're designing a programming language it's nice to have a data type which means "sequence of Unicode codepoints" and deal with different byte-encodings only at the IO level
22:24:36 <kmc> Ruby lacks this property, the Ruby string type is a byte string + metadata about the encoding, and it's nasty
22:24:53 <nooodl_> elliott: well that was poorly worded from me, but,
22:25:05 <nooodl_> ij looks exactly like ij *everywhere*
22:25:21 <nooodl_> it's like having a separate unicode codepoint for.. "ou" or "th" or whatever in english
22:25:30 <olsner> what was the rationale for doing that in ruby?
22:25:33 <Bike> or þ?
22:26:09 <nooodl_> oh wait i forgot about

22:27:08 <shachaf> kmc: Are you talking about Ruby 1.8 or 1.9?
22:27:15 <shachaf> (I gues 2.0 is out too by now.)
22:27:28 <kmc> shachaf: i'm... not sure. i don't know ruby, just hear people complaining about this
22:27:32 <shachaf> Anyway Unicode support is much better in modern Ruby than it used to be.
22:27:46 <rapido> anyone care to discuss SPREAD: a new retroactive programming language?
22:28:01 <Bike> like a spread of marmite i hope
22:28:22 <rapido> more like 'spread the word'
22:28:52 <shachaf> It's a lot like Python 3, except people actually use Ruby 1.9.
22:28:55 <Bike> social dynamics?
22:29:07 <Phantom__Hoover> something something something tetration?
22:29:53 <shachaf> Or maybe I just misunderstood what you meant. I don't think ByteString + metadata is necessarily so bad, as long as "ábc".length == 3 etc.
22:30:13 <rapido> Bike: spread has computational traces that are first class objects and can be manipulated by other computations
22:30:21 <Bike> wow, i have no idea what that means
22:31:07 <rapido> Bike: a trace is a list of (intermediate) computational steps
22:31:10 <kmc> shachaf: if i took a job in Mountain View would it erase all my urbanist cred :(
22:31:20 <kmc> i would live in SF and commute by cal"the worst train"train
22:31:21 <Bike> like a bunch of continuations?
22:31:26 <Bike> or a vector of states i guess
22:31:41 <rapido> every value carries its trace that lead to itself
22:31:54 <shachaf> kmc: if it was at a huge company you could get a "huge company shuttle"
22:31:59 <rapido> you can query and destruct such trace at runtime
22:32:02 <shachaf> i know people who do that
22:32:11 <rapido> and re-use bits of the trace in other computations
22:32:53 <kmc> shachaf: i think i'm opposed to those
22:33:04 <kmc> google should help SF build better transit instead of running a silly private bus system for rich people only
22:33:31 <rapido> you can roll back to certain 'key' points in a trace, 'modify' a certain parameter and go from there
22:33:51 <Bike> sounds like continuations
22:33:59 <kmc> i once wrote a debugger-interpreter that recorded the whole history of states, and would let you navigate back and explore different traces
22:34:05 <kmc> and write automated explorations of this trace
22:34:24 <Bike> was it useful?
22:34:31 -!- Phantom___Hoover has joined.
22:34:41 <kmc> it was a class project thing and for a toy language
22:34:43 <shachaf> kmc: that would be nice but i think "should" is going a little far
22:34:48 <kmc> so i never built it to the point where it was 'useful'
22:35:24 <shachaf> where is your mountain view job going to be

22:36:27 <elliott> imo iou suck
22:36:31 <kmc> maibe
22:36:43 <kmc> otoh most of the cripto i know is from their cripto puzzles
22:36:49 <kmc> which u can do
22:36:57 <elliott> no i can't, it involves not being lazi
22:37:03 <kmc> tri amphetamines
22:37:18 <rapido> Bike: not really continuations. continuations only serialise the current state, not the whole history that led to that state
22:37:40 <rapido> ok, a list of continuations
22:37:46 <kmc> reversible continuations would be neat
22:37:48 <Bike> possibly i've been doing too much kernel
22:37:54 <Bike> where you have a tree of continuations
22:37:59 <kmc> like, iou can co back in time and also start running backwards
22:37:59 <shachaf> what kind of 'mountain view advice'
22:38:02 <rapido> kmc: that's exactly it
22:38:05 <kmc> shachaf: any tipe

22:38:35 <kmc> :'(
22:38:42 <Bike> i think lipograms are more fun if one tries to avoid the letter while using actual words
22:38:57 <rapido> kmc: of course, making it efficient is the hard part!
22:39:11 <Bike> efficient esolangs, what you say
22:39:23 <kmc> usualli the hard part
22:39:31 <Bike> hard is fun!

22:40:13 <kmc> ies
22:40:17 <kmc> were iou there
22:40:20 <kmc> don't think so
22:40:32 <rapido> anyway, i've pretty much finished the design of the spread language. see: http://oercode.blogspot.nl/2013/04/what-kind-of-programming-language-is.html
22:40:35 <kmc> it was me and cathy and mjrosenb and gwillen
22:40:50 <rapido> spread is also not turing-complete, but i'm not sure
22:41:08 <shachaf> no, but you asked me about ramen places in sf or something
22:41:13 <olsner> those crypto challenges looked interesting until I realized it would require some sort of action on my part

23:31:18 <Bike> so edwardk is fucking nuts, is what i'm hearing
23:31:29 <Phantom__Hoover> how fucking nuts are we talking
23:31:35 <elliott> well he was also like old at the time
23:31:46 <elliott> bi old i mean he had alreadi worked in The Industri and stuff?
23:31:46 <Bike> oh how old
23:31:50 <elliott> not old old
23:31:55 <Bike> oh like
23:32:00 <Bike> elliott's idea of old
23:32:02 <elliott> but i mean not entering uni at 18 and then getting five billion degrees in a month
23:32:04 <Bike> not that old
23:32:04 <Phantom__Hoover> ah, the industry! i know that band
23:32:13 <Bike> right that's what i was thinking
23:32:25 <shachaf> wasn't he in his 30s or something
23:32:37 <elliott> i don't even know how old he is now!
23:33:02 <elliott> maibe we will find out when he dies from exhaustion
23:33:04 <shachaf> oh he was just under 30
23:34:55 <shachaf> kmc: so given that i haven't even started what should i do
23:35:16 <olsner> start ... something?
23:35:18 <Bike> go to college. get swole
23:35:54 <elliott> i would also like life advice from kmc
23:36:44 <kmc> shachaf: do iou have ani particular goals
23:37:11 <Fiora> kmc I've graduated and was blessed with the luck of a job oh god what do I do next
23:37:12 <shachaf> well that's one of the things i want to figure out
23:37:22 <shachaf> Fiora: imo go postal
23:37:26 <shachaf> you're just the right sort of person for it
23:37:28 <pikhq> Goals are overrated. Everþthing is void of meaning! </nihilism>
23:37:33 <kmc> Fiora: continue having a job? i dunno
23:37:48 <Fiora> postal?
23:37:59 <Phantom__Hoover> kill them
23:38:01 <Phantom__Hoover> kill them all
23:38:21 <Fiora> what ._.
23:38:32 <olsner> hmm, going postal is a fairly recently coined phrase, isn't it?
23:38:39 <shachaf> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going_postal
23:38:48 <kmc> i'm not veri ambitious, i know how to do some things that are fun and veri useful to the world, i would like to keep doing them and help people either directli or bi giving monei awai, but i don't have ani grand goals to change mi position in life as it's alreadi p. good
23:38:48 <Phantom__Hoover> (going postal is actually called that because a bunch of post office workers randomly shot up their workplaces in the 90s, this is apparently A True Fact)
23:39:12 <shachaf> it's also the name of a book by T.D.J. Pratchett
23:39:14 <Bike> it was a joke in MIB, man
23:39:24 <Bike> i... think
23:40:05 <kmc> shachaf: if iou don't have a specific goal of getting iour degree then i would sai, see first if iou can get a job iou like without the degree, and if it seems difficult then consider school
23:41:06 <elliott> kmc: where is mi life advice
23:41:23 <Phantom__Hoover> can i have some life advice also
23:41:33 <kmc> there are mani social benefits of college too though
23:41:36 <Phantom__Hoover> although at present i suspect it all boils down to 'revise'
23:41:49 <kmc> i cant give life advice to everyone :(
23:41:52 <elliott> fuck iou Phantom__Hoover people who don't have their lives sorted out are talking!!!
23:41:52 <kmc> everione
23:41:54 <kmc> :(
23:41:56 <Phantom__Hoover> did you revise
23:41:59 <elliott> imo exclusive club
23:41:59 <shachaf> elliott: i have an exclusive deal with kmc
23:42:12 <Bike> so glad i got a life plan set
23:42:16 <Bike> 'die in grad school'
23:42:26 <shachaf> should i go to grad school
23:42:34 <kmc> also lets be clear that ioure taking life advice from someone who got fired and is considering moving to sf for several reasons one of which is that it's easier to bui weed there
23:42:56 <elliott> that sounds pretti close to role model material for me tbh
23:43:01 <Bike> kmc, actual life guru
23:43:09 <Phantom__Hoover> elliott, like you'd ever try weed
23:43:15 <kmc> certified life coach
23:43:28 <kmc> this would be funnier if iou've seen peep show
23:43:29 <elliott> Phantom__Hoover: what are iou impliing!!
23:43:43 <Phantom__Hoover> you work it ou
23:43:43 <Phantom__Hoover> t
23:43:51 <elliott> no i actualli don't know
23:44:19 <Phantom__Hoover> also, worrying social experience of the day: being told that i am 'stabby creepy', in comparison to an associate who was 'rapey creepy'
23:44:22 <shachaf> i was in weed, california
23:44:24 <shachaf> does that count
23:44:26 <Phantom__Hoover> i am not sure what to make of this
23:44:26 <kmc> Phantom__Hoover: D:
23:44:38 <kmc> shachaf: what about Fucking, Belgium
23:44:47 <elliott> i think probabli the #1 reason i have never tried weed is that i have no friends
23:44:53 <elliott> is that what iou were impliing Phantom__Hoover!!
23:45:02 <kmc> elliott: iou can visit me in sf
23:45:02 <Phantom__Hoover> i was offered a joint once
23:45:14 <elliott> Phantom__Hoover: what functors
23:45:26 <elliott> kmc: isn't sf kind of scari
23:45:27 <Phantom__Hoover> at the time my mother was sitting across the road in a car so it was not really an option
23:45:50 <elliott> things sf has: startups; probabli hipsters of some description???; kmc (SCARIEST OF ThEm ALL)
23:45:58 <elliott> *will haven
23:46:02 <kmc> elliott: everyone with socioeconomic status between 'homeless crackhead' and 'google software engineer' has been driven out of the city
23:46:08 <olsner> elliott: why is kmc scary?
23:46:20 <shachaf> imo my friend tried to get me to 'smoke a fat bowl' with her but i turned it down, what does that make me
23:46:41 <elliott> kmc: so does that mean it's just people below homeless crackhead or just people above google software engineer
23:46:47 <Bike> kmc: that sounds frightening
23:46:49 <kmc> it's both
23:46:52 <elliott> cool
23:46:59 <elliott> sonuds like a healthi place
23:47:03 <kmc> ikr
23:47:09 <elliott> whi does un alwais become nu
23:47:14 <elliott> what the fuck is happening to mi keiboard
23:47:39 <Bike> elliott comes to the slow realization that he's beginning to write in swedish
23:47:47 <kmc> IT BEGINS
23:47:50 <elliott> Bike: no stop Phantom__Hoover will give up on me
23:47:52 <shachaf> can i visit kmc in sf
23:47:54 <kmc> yes

23:48:23 <Bike> mmhm
23:48:37 <elliott> how mani wales big is california
23:48:53 <kmc> sf is in the part of california which is 60°F all the time instead of 75°F
23:48:56 <elliott> could terrorise both monqi and kmc on the same trip!!!
23:48:59 <kmc> it's a trap for tourists
23:49:17 <elliott> 24 celsius is a bit hot
23:49:20 <elliott> sf sonuds nicer
23:49:32 <Phantom__Hoover> 20 wales, according to WA

23:49:39 <elliott> Phantom__Hoover: holi shit that's a lot of wales

23:50:45 <kmc> http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/27499971.html i think 'sold his crackpipe to buy crack' should be a new folksi saing for short-sighted economic behavior
23:51:01 <Bike> elliott: the lynch film
23:52:24 <Phantom__Hoover> kmc, wow
23:52:36 <shachaf> hey i was at mulholland drive once

23:53:04 <Phantom__Hoover> is mulholland drive the one with the lesbians
23:53:53 <Sgeo> 'You cannot compare a Mac and pc on paper...pcs only utilize 50-75% of their hardware...macs utilize every but of the machine which is why you have almost no corruption of software and almost rarely have to upgrade a Mac...point is you can get "lower" on paper specs on a Mac and get twice the performance and life span...I was a technician for the company so if you have more detailed questions let me know'
23:53:53 <shachaf> i didn't see any when i was there, but maybe
