00:00:21 <Bike> uh i was at the other end before and nobody cared then!!
00:01:20 -!- Nisstyre-laptop has joined.
00:02:10 <shachaf> yes well it wasn't the place to be then!!
00:03:01 <Bike> are you insulting me
00:03:12 <tswett> "At least two roads run concurrently with their own opposite direction." The obvious question is, why not just skip that part?
00:04:08 <Bike> it's like a north-south and a south-north road both turn west. no big deal
00:04:33 <tswett> Yeah, but if there's a single road carrying both directions of a single route, then the route must have a cul-de-sac.
00:06:11 <Bike> it could be like a half diamond arrangement.
00:06:31 <Bike> north route goes up, turns west at a corner, later turns north by northeast, rejoins southern self later up
00:07:29 <tswett> Uh, lemme think about that.
00:09:02 <tswett> I can see, like, sort of a rectangle arrangement.
00:09:29 <kmc> zzo38: LED accent lighting for my living room
00:09:40 <tswett> Beyond the north and south ends of the rectangle, you just have the northbound part of the freeway on the east side and the southbound part on the west side, like usual.
00:10:31 <tswett> But from the south end of the rectangle, the northbound road turns left and follows the south edge of the rectangle west, then turns right and follows the west edge of the rectangle north.
00:10:47 <tswett> Then it turns right again, following the north edge east, and finally turns left again and continues on north.
00:11:23 <tswett> So traffic goes clockwise around the rectangle, and the north and south edges of the rectangle are wrong-way concurrencies.
00:12:05 <tswett> *Why* they'd do that, I have no idea. Perhaps, say, the downtown part of the city is south of the rectangle, and there are a bunch of businesses west of the rectangle.
00:12:20 <tswett> People traveling out of the city are more likely to want to visit businesses along the way than people traveling into it.
00:13:05 <tswett> "Business" meaning a building providing a service to the public, rather than an office or factory.
00:16:30 <Jafet> You just don't realize how great it is to be able to reverse direction without an interchange

01:11:48 <oerjan> but 2 and 3 are prime!

01:13:01 <shachaf> Bike's true Twitter account: https://twitter.com/ThePunBike
01:13:18 <oerjan> "In Cantonese, "five" sounds like the word "not" (character: 唔). When five appears in front of a lucky number, e.g. "58", the result is considered unlucky." chinese numerology just gets weirder.
01:13:33 <oerjan> tswett: primitive people!
01:13:37 <tswett> Help, what letter comes after Z?
01:13:47 <zzo38> tswett: In what alphabet?
01:13:52 <tswett> zzo38: the English one.
01:13:54 <oerjan> also don't listen to the swedes hth
01:13:56 <tswett> Wait, I remember. It's &.
01:15:50 <Bike> and there you have it.
01:16:04 <shachaf> Hmm, clearly SZ comes after Z.
01:16:06 <zzo38> nooodl: I think they meant the English alphabet, not the ASCII alphabet, isn't it?
01:16:15 <tswett> Right, the English alphabet.
01:16:30 <shachaf> @let data Nat = Z | S Nat deriving (Show,Read,Eq,Ord,Typeable)
01:16:42 <shachaf> @let data Nat = Z | S Nat deriving (Show,Read,Eq,Ord,Enum)
01:16:42 <lambdabot> Can't make a derived instance of `Enum Nat':
01:16:50 <tswett> P x y z æ = x z (y z æ)
01:17:02 <Bike> why can't it make Enum?
01:17:32 <shachaf> Because the type isn't, what's-it-called. An enumeration.
01:18:00 <nooodl> how does it derive Ord
01:18:03 <zzo38> If you are using non-ASCII alphabets then you can even use Greek or whatever too you aren't even limited to AE ligature and so on.
01:18:14 <Bike> maybe it just didn't get to the Ord error.
01:18:20 <tswett> I demand that it be referred to in Unicode as a Latin letter.
01:18:27 <tswett> Hey Phennies. I'm talking to you.
01:19:02 <nooodl> @let data Nat = Z | S Nat deriving (Show,Read,Eq,Ord)
01:19:03 <shachaf> compare Z Z = EQ; compare Z (S _) = LT; compare (S _) Z = GT; compare (S x) (S y) = compare x y
01:19:09 <zzo38> OK, call it a Latin letter, if you want to
01:19:20 <shachaf> Are you asking about the rules for deriving Ord in general?
01:19:22 <nooodl> shachaf: wouldn't switching LT and GT give you a valid Ord instance?
01:19:35 <shachaf> Yes, but not the one it derives.
01:19:37 <zzo38> nooodl: That would be the reverse ordering; it is still valid
01:19:38 <Bike> wouldn't that quesiton be true of like any ord instance
01:20:07 <nooodl> i guess i am talking about the rules for deriving Ord in general, yeah.
01:20:10 <zzo38> Many classes can be made a backward instance from the existing one, such as order, monoid, applicative
01:20:46 <tswett> I guess P x y z = B (x z) (y z), so P x y = S (B B x) y, so P x = S (B B x), so P = B S (B B).
01:20:56 <shachaf> nooodl: I recommend seeing the Report for the exact rules.
01:21:02 <nooodl> @let data Nat = S Nat | Z deriving (Show,Read,Eq,Ord)
01:21:03 <shachaf> The order of the summands matters, thought.
01:21:26 <shachaf> (It also matters for Enum.)
01:21:49 <shachaf> @let newtype Mu f = Mu { runMu :: forall a. (f a -> a) -> a }
01:21:49 <lambdabot> Parse failed: TypeOperators is not enabled
01:21:52 <zzo38> I think it would be better making it you can deriving by macros instead of built-in. I think many things in Haskell ought be macros rather than built-in, would make them better.
01:21:59 <coppro> you could even make data Rev = (Ord a) => Rev {getRev :: a}; instance (Ord a) => Ord (Rev a) where { compare = flip compare `on` Rev }
01:22:12 <coppro> replace the last Rev with getRev
01:22:25 <tswett> But, on the other hand, we could just as well say P x y z = B (y z) (x z), meaning P x y = S (B B y) x, meaning P x = uhh hang on
01:22:26 <shachaf> You could, but why, when it's already in Data.Ord?
01:22:32 <zzo38> coppro: Yes you can make things like that for other classes backward too
01:26:30 <tswett> P x = B (C S x) (B B), so P = B (C B (B B)) (C S). Yeah, I like the other one better.
01:27:13 <tswett> So what does it mean to do something five times? Do you do it twice and then thrice, or thrice and then twice? I'm pretty sure you do it thrice and then twice.
01:27:44 <tswett> And what's 6? Is it two threes, or three twos? Pretty sure it's three twos.
01:27:59 <zzo38> You do it once, and then once more time, and then once more time after that, and then one more time, and then one more. Now it is five times.
01:28:43 <tswett> zzo38: yeah, but is that once and then (once and then (once and then (once and then once))), or (((once and then once) and then once) and then once) and then once, or ((once and then once) and then once) and then (once and then once), or what?
01:30:02 <zzo38> tswett: It doesn't matter because it is associative.
01:30:17 <tswett> You're probably right.
01:34:31 <tswett> What's 7? It must be what you get when you start with 1 and then double it and increment it twice.
01:35:23 <tswett> How about 10? Ooh, I hate that number.
01:35:25 <zzo38> Well, I suppose there are many ways to make seven, but really it is (1+1+1+1+1+1+1).

03:29:10 <pikhq> coppro: See, when your testicles are in serious pain you're not likely to consider such things.
03:29:29 <coppro> and I'd probably consider it at that point

03:29:43 <pikhq> "Infection of the testicles" is also a shitty thing.
03:29:52 <pikhq> I'm not much of a recreational drug guy either.
03:30:10 <kmc> re testicles
03:30:19 <pikhq> Fortunately, that's resolved.
03:30:24 <kmc> don't rupture your tendons and/or testicles
03:30:29 <Bike> testicular torsion
03:30:50 <pikhq> I'm just getting random skeletomuscular pain from the antibiotics. Which is a side effect which can show up fully 6 months later.
03:31:03 <pikhq> And hoping I don't actually rip a tendon.
03:31:07 <coppro> pikhq: oh, I thought you were
03:31:16 <coppro> well, best of luck with your tendons
03:31:39 <pikhq> coppro: Nope. I imbibe in alcohol in small quantities, and caffeine in absurd quantities.

03:34:15 <pikhq> In rare cases it even kills your nerves!
03:34:37 <pikhq> In more common cases it just causes temporary paresthesias.
03:34:58 <pikhq> Y'know the feeling when a limb goes to sleep?
03:35:12 <pikhq> That's also the first sign that your nerves are dying.
03:35:38 <pikhq> So, yes. It has one non-serious side effect and a serious-as-fuck side effect that look initially similar.
03:38:44 <pikhq> Also neat is that the first sign of tendons rupturing is cracking in the joint.
03:38:51 <pikhq> My joints crack a lot anyways!
03:39:28 <pikhq> Suddenly I've become an old man. Woe. :P
03:39:56 <Fiora> what's the deal with joints cracking anyways, like, why does that happen
03:40:37 <pikhq> Temporary partial vacuum being created in the fluid in the joints.

08:41:54 <Taneb> fizzie, I found out their decisions on Thursday
09:14:13 <Taneb> It's the norm in England
09:14:59 <Taneb> Really, all it means for me is that I get my exam results at the same time as finding out if they're good enough to get into uni
09:16:16 <Taneb> You spelt both "awful" and "awesome" incorrectly in precisely opposite ways
09:16:57 <olsner> Taneb: it is possible it was done intentionally
09:17:20 <Taneb> It makes me queasy
09:17:24 <olsner> oklopol: sorry, that's not possible
09:20:41 <Gracenotes> 'aweful' can mean good, because you are full of awe
09:21:00 <Gracenotes> 'terrific' can mean bad, because you are full of terry?

13:08:21 -!- metasepia has joined.
13:13:18 <ion> Ooh, i was able to read it fully. (I had infer some of the letters.)
13:13:45 <ion> I have never tried to learn the Cyrillic alphabet, but it seems some of it has stuck by itself.
13:21:29 <fizzie> I did a single course of Russian at the university, and got a 5 (of 5) for it; didn't really learn any of the language in question (except to say "is this place free?", the first sentence of the first chapter of the "textbook"), but the alphabet I still know.
13:22:18 <boily> I'm trying to learn Armenian, but I am still confused by most of their letters.
13:23:52 <fizzie> I'm trying to write some notes in plaintext, and need \hat{x} for a point estimate of x; tried both ^x and x^, and they both look really silly when I also need \hat{x}^2 in the notes.
13:24:16 <fizzie> x^^2 is a no go, ^x^2 is almost as silly; (x^)^2 and (^x)^2 are passable but sill stilly.
13:24:52 <boily> $ \hat{x^2} $ doesn't work? (probably not. my off-the-head-latex is getting rusty.)
13:26:15 <fizzie> Deewiant: I don't want the notes to look like LaTeX source.
13:26:38 <fizzie> Deewiant: "I just don't!"
13:27:25 <fizzie> boily: $\hat{x^2}$ would be a subtly different thing from $\hat{x}^2$, I think. (Both still probably render well in LaTeX.)
13:28:01 <katla> what about widehat
13:28:25 <Deewiant> fizzie: Use a instead of x and then you have â
13:28:38 <fizzie> katla: Okay, I think that might render even better, but it's still beside the point, which was about writing things that look good in plaintext.
13:28:50 <Deewiant> Or if you don't dislike combining characters, x̂
13:29:27 <fizzie> Deewiant: I... guess that might work. Or maybe I'll just call it Ex or something.
13:29:30 <Deewiant> The x̂ actually is more legible than the â in my font.
13:29:56 <fizzie> They're about the same here. (Both look like there's a bit of dust on the screen.)
13:30:42 <Deewiant> The â looks like dust but on the x it's actually quite clearly a circumflex

14:42:11 <Roujo> But since I got my OUYA directly from them, I'm just straight out of luck
14:42:38 <Roujo> I'm sorry if it sounds really bitter, I just got tired of running after them
14:43:07 <Roujo> I was so excited about the games I'd be able to make, I promoted the console to my friends and family
14:44:05 <Roujo> I even though "Hey, those people are doing something really nice, I'll get the Kickstarter Limited Edition console. It costs more, but they deserve the extra support."
14:44:16 <Roujo> And now this - no console, no money, no answer from support.
14:45:13 <Roujo> They told me they'd refund my international shipping (20$) since it's taking so long
14:45:24 <Roujo> They asked for my Paypal ID, which I supplied
14:45:33 <Roujo> I have yet to get anything there

16:43:30 <Roujo> So this exists: https://github.com/philipl/pifs
16:48:43 <Roujo> Think of the space you'll be saving!
16:49:17 <Roujo> If you want to store pi as a file on your disk...
16:49:26 <katla> theres no bitstring you can use to compress arbitrary strings with indices is there?
16:49:26 <Roujo> This file system makes it fit in a single byte!
16:50:02 <katla> or just make assumptions like i do
16:50:31 <Phantom_Hoover> it does it on a per-byte basis, so doubtless it significantly inflates file sizes
16:50:54 <Roujo> Well that's too bad
16:51:18 <Fiora> http://cs.fit.edu/~mmahoney/compression/barf.html This kind of reminds me of this
16:55:27 <Phantom_Hoover> (initially i thought the trick was using 'nonempty' to free a pigeonhole)
16:56:15 <Fiora> it's basically a parody/joke about cheating in compression benchmarks
16:56:25 <Fiora> because like, you can make it look like a file is much smaller than it is by storing data in the filename
16:56:45 <Fiora> I think nowadays they tar up all the files afterwards and count that, just to be sure? -_-
16:56:47 <katla> BARF extends this idea by trying 257 different algorithms and choosing the best one
16:57:53 <Roujo> What if we stored the index in pi?
16:59:28 <katla> you can't even use digits of pi to compress pi since it's computable
17:03:15 <katla> yes but no one can prove it
17:03:19 <Phantom_Hoover> i know it's not proven to be normal, but normality's a stronger condition
17:03:39 <katla> no can even prove that pi is irrational, they just say someone else did it
17:04:07 <katla> how is ita stronger condition
17:04:10 <katla> did you mean binary sequences
17:04:12 <Phantom_Hoover> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_that_%CF%80_is_irrational
17:04:33 <Phantom_Hoover> no, i thought for normality every sequence had to repeat infinitely? or maybe something else
17:05:20 <Fiora> "a number of infinite length is called normal when all possible sequences of digits (of any given length) appear equally often."
17:05:30 <Fiora> it's irrational, transcendental, but not known to be normal, I think
17:05:36 <katla> if it contains every sequences it contains them all infinitely many times
17:06:08 <katla> normal to a specific base is weaker than normal to all bases though
17:08:32 <fizzie> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/113389132/Misc/20130812-chromium.png <- that's kind of... not good?
17:08:53 <Jafet> Basically, the digits of a normal number appear equally distributed, without any statistical patterns. For example, 2718 2818 28 45 90 45...
17:09:17 <katla> implying e is normal
17:10:30 <Fiora> wikipedia says e is like pi, they think it's normal but it's not proven?
17:10:31 <Deewiant> fizzie: I checked mine; it says the same stuff, and also claims I have a third-party ATI/AMD driver even though I don't
17:11:00 <fizzie> Deewiant: I had this working in the Ubunttu.
17:11:13 <katla> almost every number is normal but mathematicians can't prove it for a single one...
17:11:32 <Fiora> well, almost every number is uncomputable too XD

17:18:12 <Deewiant> That's what that does for me, too. Do you have an AMD card or does it just always work like that?
17:19:03 <fizzie> No, this is a Nvidia card with the proprietary driver.
17:19:25 <Deewiant> Okay, so it's presumably always like that.

17:24:18 <katla> what do you need to know about a number to be able to prove that?
17:24:27 <Deewiant> katla: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root_of_two#Proofs_of_irrationality
17:24:27 <boily> you just print out all the decimals of a number. if there is no pattern, then it's irrational.
17:24:50 <boily> darn. foiled by true facts.
17:25:17 <katla> Deewiant, that's different - it's straightfoward to explain why algebraic numbers like that are irrational
17:26:12 <Deewiant> Fair enough, I hadn't followed the discussion so I didn't know you were talking about nonalgebraic numbers
17:26:15 <Bike> yeah, i don't really understand how pi was proven irrational.
17:26:23 <Bike> something about continued fractions?
17:26:42 <Deewiant> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_that_%CF%80_is_irrational
17:26:46 <katla> Bike, yeah but once you read and understand the proof youre no closer to answering my question
17:27:05 <katla> (that CF irrationality proof is awesome though do recommend it)
17:27:22 <Bike> I guess it boils down to "you need to know no two numbers in ratio form that number", which is awesomely unhelpful

18:06:17 <fizzie> Perhaps I could invest in a second mouse, multi-pointer X and some kind of robot arm to duplicate my movements, in case the application takes input.
18:06:30 <zzo38> I think it is, but I want to know what wiki/section it can be, such as the existing Hackiki, esolang wiki, IF Wiki, some other wiki, or whatever, possibly in a user space, or which server is best for this kind of subjects, specifically, is one thing.

18:41:08 <boily> pikhq: ESR, as in that eric guy?
18:42:18 <olsner> probably "extended support release" or somesuch
18:43:00 <boily> ~duck i-esse-erre j'ai dit!
18:43:42 <fizzie> http://packages.qa.debian.org/i/iceweasel.html oh, so stable and testing are both 10, but stable-sec (and unstable) is at 17.
18:43:50 <fizzie> Not that 17 would really help much.

18:44:37 <olsner> how old is firefox 10? I think I last used firefox 2 or 3
18:46:01 <fizzie> 10.0 is from January 2012.
18:46:11 <fizzie> (Huh, hasn't it been longer than that?)
18:46:43 <fizzie> 3.5 is mid-2009, 3.0 mid-2008 and 2.0 from October 2006.
18:47:00 <boily> I miss the days of 0.4.
18:47:10 <olsner> oh, 2.x is most likely then
18:47:16 <Deewiant> 3.6 was the last non-alpha 3.x, and that was January 2010
18:47:43 <Deewiant> I started with 0.4; I somewhat miss those days too
18:48:37 <Deewiant> A more civilized age and all that
18:49:17 <fizzie> I have absolutely no idea when I switched over. I guess there was something Mozilla in-between Netscape 4 and Firefox?
18:49:44 <olsner> oh yes, there were lots of mozilla as I recall
18:50:17 <fizzie> Netscape 6 was based on the Mozilla code.
18:50:30 <fizzie> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/74/Timeline_of_web_browsers.svg has a fancy chart.
18:50:34 <Deewiant> 6 and 7 were based on Mozilla, 8 and 9 were based on Firefox
18:50:44 <olsner> weird... 5 is a much better new-codebase number than 6
18:51:12 <boily> we should start a Prime Numbers for Web Browsers Campaign.
18:51:18 <fizzie> olsner: They were making a 5, but nothing came out of it.
18:51:27 <fizzie> olsner: Plus they obviously needed to one-up IE 5.
18:52:50 <fizzie> (The so-called "Slackware Maneuver".)
18:53:17 <olsner> maneouvre is hard to spell
18:53:47 <olsner> what was the slackware manöver though? one-upping IE or skipping number 5?
18:54:25 <boily> s/manöver/manœuvre/
18:54:40 <fizzie> olsner: One-upping competitors.
18:55:07 <Deewiant> The joke is that Slackware is better than its competitors so it inherently one-ups them all the time.
18:55:11 <fizzie> olsner: They went from 3.x directly to 7, because Red Hat and everyone else was at 6.
18:56:05 <fizzie> Or maybe they got a 4.0 out, but at least they jumped from there.
18:56:40 <fizzie> "First off, I think I forgot to count some time ago. If I'd started on 6.0 and made every release a major version (I think that's how Linux releases are made these days, right? ;), we would be on Slackware 47 by now. (it would actually be in the 20s somewhere if we'd gone 1, 2, 3...)
18:56:50 <fizzie> I think it's clear that some other distributions inflated their version numbers for marketing purposes, and I've had to field (way too many times) the question "why isn't yours 6.x" or worse "when will you upgrade to Linux 6.0" which really drives home the effectiveness of this simple trick. With the move to glibc and nearly everyone else using 6.x now, it made sense to go to at least 6.0, ...
18:56:56 <fizzie> ... just to make it clear to people who don't know anything about Linux that Slackware's libraries, compilers, and other stuff are not 3 major versions behind. I thought they'd all be using 7.0 by now, but no matter. We're at least "one better", right? :)" --Patrick Volkerding
18:57:53 <kmc> Sun went from Java 1.4 to Java 5 (aka 1.5)
18:58:09 <kmc> and Linux went from 2.6.39 to 3.0 arbitrarily
18:58:09 <olsner> and from 1.1 to Java 2 1.2
18:58:15 <fizzie> Is Java 7 still 1.7 somewhere?
18:58:27 <olsner> up to Java 2 1.4? then Java 5 ... I think
18:59:03 <fizzie> Windows went from three-four-ish to ninety-five, though. :p
18:59:20 <fizzie> (And then on to two thousand.)
18:59:40 <olsner> well, 95 is at least internally 4.0 and 2000 is 5.0
18:59:49 <kmc> and then there were NT versions
19:01:05 <olsner> hmm, according to wikipedia Java went from Java 2 1.4 to Java 2 5.0 before going to Java 6
19:01:28 <fizzie> olsner: The 5.0 was 1.5 on the inside in many places, though.
19:01:38 <fizzie> "Java 2 5.0 aka 1.5" is quite a.
19:03:12 <fizzie> (Also it's "manööveri" in Finnish.)
19:04:01 <Deewiant> (And the verb is "manöveroida".)
19:04:15 <fizzie> (I guess vowel harmony is more of a suggestion than a law.)
19:04:33 <olsner> (what would the vowel harmonious version be?)
19:04:43 <Deewiant> (Alternatively "manövroida", it seems.)
19:05:03 <fizzie> olsner: Manooveri, mänööveri.
19:05:11 <Deewiant> Vowel harmony isn't a necessity in loanwords.
19:05:56 <Deewiant> (Of course what is and isn't a loanword gets blurry over time.)
19:06:41 <olsner> Phantom_Hoover: a quote?
19:06:44 <Deewiant> Nothing by itself, ä and ö are different letters.
19:07:15 <fizzie> The front versions of a and o.
19:07:53 <Deewiant> a is front, the difference is openness.
19:08:25 <fizzie> Deewiant: Wikipedia claims a /ɑ/ is the back unrounded vowel.
19:08:58 <fizzie> (And that both /ɑ/ and /æ/ are open.)
19:09:31 <Deewiant> Not that it's a big difference.
19:09:43 <fizzie> Well, it does continue with: "Phonetically, the phoneme /ɑ/ is usually central, although it is back in some dialects."
19:09:48 <fizzie> So I suppose it's: a mess.
19:10:12 <boily> /ä/ is central, /ɑ/ is back.
19:10:20 <boily> (at least in french.)

19:26:55 <Deewiant> fizzie: vblank_mode=0 glxgears
19:27:15 <fizzie> I found that in the interwebs, but it did nothing. :'(
19:27:32 <boily> that always left me puzzled: how can you achieve higher than 60 fps on a screen, where the hardware's refresh rate is fixed to 60 Hz (or 120 Hz if you have a nice high-end monitor).

21:48:56 <kmc> then to sign a message you also include one of those one-use keys and the path to it in the merkle tree
