01:16:21 <madbr> hmm, I wonder how this data structure is called
01:16:32 <madbr> a vector that's split into pages (of, say, 256 entries perhaps) and each page can be "rotated" by an offset
01:17:05 <madbr> so that if you insert or remove an element, you don't have to update everything, only the page where it was inserted/removed, and then the first entry of all the following pages (plus "rotating" the page to keep the order consistent)
01:18:04 <Roujo> madbr: Interesting ^^
01:19:22 -!- conehead has quit (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.).
01:21:01 <madbr> Random access is O(1), insertion/deletion is O(sqrt(N))
01:24:05 * pikhq prefers skip lists
01:25:16 <pikhq> Average O(log n) search, insert, delete, index and O(n) in-order access? Whee.
01:28:06 <madbr> don't you already get that from a tree?
01:28:51 <pikhq> Indexing?
01:28:57 <pikhq> Also, skip lists are easy.
01:29:05 <madbr> mhm
01:29:38 <madbr> I'm trying to go for a structure that's balanced mostly towards random access
01:30:24 <madbr> with better performance than O(n) for insertion but worse than O(n log n)
01:32:28 <pikhq> (fair note, O(log n) figures are average case. Worst case is O(n)
01:32:29 <pikhq> )
01:33:01 <madbr> If you insert more data than a page though, then this structure wouldn't be faster than a straight vector though
01:33:28 <madbr> you'd need to introduce page remapping, which would slow down indexing
01:35:06 <madbr> it would also be possible to introduce multiple page levels, which would reduce insertion cost to O(cuberoot(N)), O(N^0.25), O(N^0.2) etc depending on the number of levels
01:35:33 <madbr> or O(n log n) if you had variable number of levels

03:20:25 <Bike> oh, it's something else, derp
03:20:53 <Sgeo> Oh, it is?
03:21:12 <Bike> "A null cipher is an ancient form of encryption where the plaintext is mixed with a large amount of non-cipher material. It would today be regarded as a simple form of steganography. Null ciphers can also be used to hide ciphertext, as part of a more complex system."
03:21:21 <Bike> according to god.
03:21:38 <Bike> like using the first letter of each word, that kind of thing.

05:58:30 <fizzie> You could probably technically use the NULL cipher if, for some reason (maybe to be NSA-friendly?), you want a non-encrypted but authenticated pipe. (Though that reason doesn't really hold for the TLS_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL cipher suite.)
05:58:57 <elliott> null tls with left beef
05:59:26 <Bike> working nsa codename for skipjack
06:00:10 <fizzie> Anyway, "Application data MUST NOT be sent prior to the completion of the first handshake (before a cipher suite other than TLS_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL is established)."
06:01:12 <fizzie> "TLS_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL is specified and is the initial state of a TLS connection during the first handshake on that channel, but MUST NOT be negotiated, as it provides no more protection than an unsecured connection."
06:01:36 <fizzie> I guess it's cleaner to say that the handshake part also has a particular TLS mode.
06:03:14 <fizzie> (But e.g. TLS_RSA_WITH_NULL_SHA256 -- RSA for server authentication, the NULL cipher and SHA256 for the MAC -- seems to be on the cipher suite list, so I guess that's something you could negotiate.)

13:39:58 <oerjan> no, that happened 20 years ago, then it went out of fashion again. of course it happened during the _one_ period in my life when i wasn't depressed.
13:40:23 <myname> what the hell are you talking about
13:40:44 <oerjan> myname: yeah, pretty much.
13:41:26 <oerjan> the theory that i'm already dead and in hell has a lot going for it.
13:41:50 * oerjan somehow laughs, anyhow.
13:42:16 * boily gives a herring plushie to oerjan
13:42:58 <oerjan> that sounds like a friendly gesture, but i'm afraid it's a red herring.
13:44:11 <boily> it only appears red because of hell's lighting. it's an optical illusory friendly herring ersatz.
13:45:47 <myname> oerjan: i still haven't figured out what a piece of code did you gave me once :D
13:46:29 <oerjan> myname: well i've forgotten?
13:46:42 <myname> most likely
13:47:03 <oerjan> you could paste, if you like.
13:47:06 <myname> it was (2+(1<<x))<<(-1-(1<<x))
13:47:10 <oerjan> oh.
13:47:13 <myname> :D
13:47:45 <oerjan> hm was that for an esolang? i remember there was one that needed bit shifting.
13:48:08 <myname> yeah, it was for one i designed and i proved turing-completeness recently
13:48:45 <oerjan> it was for testing something for x.
13:48:52 <myname> sign
13:49:05 <boily> silly me, trying to run that through python. either it's complaining about negative shifts, or long ints being too large.
13:49:23 <boily> I wonder if I can haskell that code...
13:49:48 <oerjan> > [(2+(1`shiftL`x))`shiftL`(-1-(1`shiftL`x)) | x <- [-2..2]]
13:50:01 <oerjan> now what
13:50:07 <oerjan> @ping
13:50:08 <lambdabot> pong
13:50:20 <oerjan> :t shiftL
13:50:25 <lambdabot> Bits a => a -> Int -> a
13:50:31 -!- carado has joined.
13:52:12 <oerjan> ok if x is negative, that gives 2<<(-1), which should be 1.
13:52:25 <myname> yeah
13:53:03 <myname> otherwise it should be 0
13:53:15 <myname> how did you came to this :D
13:55:28 <oerjan> well, the idea is that shifting y right by y would give 0 for any number, but by decreasing the shift slightly you can get a few exceptions.
13:55:47 <Roujo> 'morning, #esoteric
13:56:26 <oerjan> or well, step 1: 1<<x is 0 for x negative, something positive otherwise.
13:56:57 <Roujo> Realization of the day: My girlfriend in NP-Complete
13:56:59 <Roujo> is*
13:57:15 <myname> what
13:57:19 <boily> I'm tempted to answer «helloujo», but mentioning any word that has «hell» in it seems to disrupt ørjan today...
13:57:26 <boily> Roujo: bon matin!
13:57:47 <Roujo> That is, given a certain desired outcome, it is very hard to find the required input
13:58:08 <Roujo> However, given a certain input, it's pretty easy to see if it produces the desired outcome
13:58:09 <oerjan> step 2: use right shifts and tweaking with constants to turn 0 into 1 and every other positive number to 0.
13:58:26 <Roujo> So yeah. NP-Complete
13:58:59 <oerjan> Roujo: you are assuming the input always has the same effect. otherwise, she might be PSPACE-Complete.
13:59:31 <Roujo> oerjan: Well, given that she's in the same state, the same input will always have the same outcome
13:59:37 <myname> Roujo: isn't that just the definition of "being in np"?
14:00:01 <Roujo> myname: ...yeah
14:00:06 <Roujo> Sounds like it, anyway
14:00:19 <Roujo> OH WELL
14:00:22 <myname> to be np-complete you have do reduce to 3sat
14:00:40 <Roujo> Sure, I'll get right on that
14:00:41 <Roujo> Brb
14:02:04 <oerjan> no, you need to reduce 3sat to her. sheesh, people always get that the wrong way around.
14:02:20 <myname> oh, yeah
14:02:30 <Roujo> I guess the NP problem would be "interacting with my girlfriend", anyway
14:02:35 <Roujo> Not my girlfriend herself
14:02:38 <Roujo> Welp
14:02:41 <Roujo> So... 'morning
14:02:45 <Roujo> How is everyone?
14:03:14 <oerjan> Roujo: i dunno, it feels more like sokoban (where you can get stuck in corners) than sudoku, no? and sokoban is PSPACE-complete.
14:03:42 <Jafet> Perhaps she is equivalent to set domination.
14:03:46 <boily> Roujo: gorging myself on unapproved yerba mate.
14:03:57 <Roujo> Right. The way I formulated it implied that there's always a solution, didn't it
14:04:02 <Roujo> boily: D:
14:04:31 <myname> boily: in what way unapproved?
14:04:36 <boily> Roujo: my argentinian coworkers disapprove my technique.

14:23:03 <Tayler> kkkkkk
14:23:11 <oerjan> Roujo: yes, but look further
14:23:20 <oerjan> hm elliott split
14:23:25 <Roujo> <Phantom_Hoover> And then elliott brought in another totally unrelated bot named updog which did nothing but say "what's updog" whenever its name was mentioned.
14:23:25 <Roujo> Nice
14:24:41 -!- Tayler has left.
14:25:25 <boily> he left! why do they always leave! I was typing the The Question! and asking him about his opinion on the malleability of steal!
14:25:35 <oerjan> the next time elliott complains about botspam in the channel, just mention updog
14:25:42 <oerjan> or maybe not.
14:26:05 <oerjan> boily: it's ok you don't need to ask the the question of people who aren't staying
14:26:29 <boily> oerjan: but it's fun...
14:26:34 <oerjan> it's supposed to be the center of mass of #esoteric, not people-who-once-passed-through-#esoteric
14:26:59 <Roujo> So the Regular Center of Mass, not the Transient one
14:27:08 <boily> I know. I only log the Relevänt Coördinates of People who Stay Here Enough to be Graphed by Fizzie.

14:38:53 <updog> what's updog?
14:39:02 <boily> subtle. real subtle.
14:39:30 <oerjan> i guess it was inevatble.
14:40:06 <oerjan> in fact i considered suggesting it, until i remembered how much trouble it was last time
14:41:24 <oerjan> hm .ca, perhaps this isn't elliott's work
14:41:38 * oerjan glares at Roujo
14:41:51 <Jafet> How much trouble is it if no one actually says updog
14:41:51 <updog> what's updog?
14:42:14 <oerjan> don't worry, that's not the troublesome part iirc
14:43:20 <boily> oerjan: it's hosted somewhere on a server probably southeast from downtown Montréal.
14:43:46 <oerjan> boily: why do you think i'm glaring at Roujo
14:44:07 <Roujo> I have no idea what you're talking about
14:44:12 <Roujo> There's no server involved at all
14:44:22 <oerjan> Roujo: neither did elliott, last time
14:45:37 <Roujo> What's the worst that could happen? =P
14:46:04 <oerjan> DON'T ASK THAT QUESTION
14:46:12 <Roujo> ...too late?

14:48:21 <ais523> this probably explains /dev/null/nethack, actually, which uses BSD exclusively
14:48:30 <ais523> because it's run by NetHack players, they know how to deal with sharks
14:48:44 <ais523> but the extra effort that takes subtracts from the time actually getting the tournament running
14:49:24 <oerjan> ais523: congratulations, you've managed to be too obscure to google
14:50:02 <ais523> oerjan: because I don't rely on Google, I don't structure my sentences in such a way that Google can easily explain what they're about
14:50:07 <ais523> which part were you trying to google?
14:50:46 <oerjan> well i have only got to the xkcd part
14:51:34 <ais523> http://www.xkcd.com/349/
14:51:37 <ais523> found via duckduckgo
14:52:19 <ais523> not a direct link, but the explainkcd page about it was the third result for "xkcd bsd sharks"

15:19:14 <ais523> you can see me and zzo38 trying to make PokéArena more realistic on the talk page
15:19:31 <Roujo> I was thinking more along the lines of pokemon being variables, with attacks being keywords (the effect depending on the type)
15:19:35 <Roujo> But yeah
15:20:50 <Roujo> ais523: Yeah, like you said on the talk page =P
15:20:51 <Roujo> OH WELL
15:21:15 <Taneb> We could start over with a new Pokémon-themed esolang

15:22:38 <Taneb> Call it "Battle" or something
15:23:20 <ais523> the problem is that there's only 6 Pokémon on a team, with 4 attacks, 1 item, 1 ability each
15:23:26 <ais523> putting hard limits on the size of the program
15:23:30 <ais523> but that's interesting in its own right

15:28:57 <boily> Jafet: who are you? are you Deewiant? do you want to be undescribed, lumped or separated?
15:29:16 <Taneb> Okay, in Rummy you have to collect (say 7 card hands) a 7-card straight or a 3 of a kind and a 4 of a kind
15:29:31 <ais523> something like that, yes
15:29:33 <Taneb> In breakout, you have to bounce a ball on a paddle to destroy bricks

16:24:08 <ais523> how does that work?

16:25:56 <doesthiswork> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analogical_Modeling
16:26:54 <doesthiswork> it finds the set of generalized matches that minimizes internal dissagreement

16:44:55 <ais523> I thought it was more common to drown them, or create rooms that they would fall out of
16:45:08 <ais523> incidentally, is it possible to exile dwarves, rather than just killing them?
16:45:14 <ais523> locking them out of the fortress, or the like?
16:45:59 <Phantom_Hoover> that either amounts to killing them or has no effect
16:46:07 -!- aloril has joined.
16:46:19 <Phantom_Hoover> if they're alive, and their mandates aren't met, they'll still be able to issue random punishments
16:47:02 <ais523> and people will actually pay attention to them?
16:47:12 <ais523> this seems unrealistic
16:47:25 <Jafet> They are dwarves.
16:50:07 <Roujo> DF
16:50:10 <Roujo> Realistic
16:50:21 <Roujo> Well. It *is* pretty realistic at times.

16:59:06 <myname> yeah, i'm reading it
16:59:25 <Roujo> No nobles yet, but still =P
17:01:17 <Koen> dwarves handle rocks... you can get rocks by mining... that makes me wondering, is that a zero-sum programming language?
17:01:45 <Koen> as in the only way to increment a variable is to decrement another, or something
17:01:55 <myname> no
17:02:05 <myname> mining creates 64 rocks from one block
17:02:09 <Koen> and do we have other zero-sum esolangs?
17:02:31 <myname> that would indeed be interesting
17:02:59 <Roujo> Call it Equilibrium or something
17:03:03 <Koen> to be original, imagine the following brainfuck-derivative
17:03:14 <Roujo> Yayyy, YABFD!
17:03:40 <Koen> there's an unbounded tape of -128 to +127 non-wrapping cells, all starting at zero
17:04:07 <Koen> and hmmm there's a toggle which can be PLUS or MINUS
17:04:18 <Koen> and when it's at plus, the - instruction is a no-op
17:04:27 <Koen> and when it's at minus, the + instruction is a no-op
17:04:42 <myname> you could say, + in your language is like +>-< in BF
17:04:44 <Koen> and instructions are the same as in brainfuck except every usage of + or - toggles the toggle
17:04:50 <myname> there you have zero-sum
17:05:02 <Koen> hmmm yeah I'm afraid
17:05:16 <Koen> okay it's not so interesting then
17:05:22 <Roujo> Koen's version sounds a lot more impractical

17:07:21 <Koen> so that's boring
17:07:37 <Koen> okay what about:
17:07:40 <Roujo> Just make it so that odd cells can only be incremented
17:07:43 <Koen> every cell starts as 1
17:07:50 <Roujo> And even cells can only be incremented
17:07:53 <Koen> and cells can only be positive
17:07:55 <Roujo> Erm
17:08:03 <Roujo> even cells can only be decremented
17:08:22 -!- lambdabot has joined.
17:08:28 <Koen> therefore you can't double every cell with its negative
17:08:37 <Koen> (because there are no negatives)
17:08:45 <Roujo> How about this
17:08:58 <Roujo> Everytime you increment a cell, a random sector of your HD is decremented
17:09:05 <Roujo> And vice-versa
17:09:10 <myname> lol
17:09:15 <Koen> okay you could start with an initialization loop that fills a lot of cells with +128 but that would be reaaaaaally impractical

17:14:50 <myname> bf2d :p
17:15:48 <Koen> ais523: well, replacing the tape with a single tape makes it equivalent to push-down automata, and therefore you can't compile bf into it

18:34:46 <zzo38> I don't know about dichotomy insertion sort, though.

18:37:14 -!- Taneb has joined.
18:37:15 <fizzie> Koen: I don't know what a "dichotomy" means in that context, but if you mean it determines the insertion position with a binary search (over the already-sorted part), I think that's called "binary insertion sort".
18:37:25 <Koen> okay
18:37:48 <Koen> though such an insertion in an array sounds kinda dumb since you have to move everything anyway
18:38:05 <Roujo> Use a linked list! =D
18:38:08 <Koen> and cutting a list in half usually isn't O(1) either
18:38:13 <Roujo> Doubly linked, too!
18:38:35 <Koen> so I guess you'd need some kind of tree structure for that to be efficient
18:38:37 <Bike> quintuply linked is the way to go
18:38:49 <Koen> so it sounds like we just reinvented heap sort
18:38:49 <Roujo> Finding the spot to insert it in would be O(n), actually putting it in would be O(1)
18:38:57 <fizzie> Koen: It can be a good idea if the comparisons are expensive but swaps are not. (List of pointers to long strings or whatever.)
18:39:06 <kmc> http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/tutorial-conditions.html#conditions these are pretty weird
18:39:10 <Koen> Roujo: O(n) dichotomy doesn't sound very useful
18:39:21 <kmc> they're like... dynamically bound delimited continuations? i don't even know
18:39:23 <Roujo> Oh, wait, you're doing a binary search
18:39:25 <Roujo> Even better!
18:39:41 <Koen> fizzie: hmm I guess that makes sense
18:40:05 <Bike> kmc: cool, it's like CL's.
18:40:31 <kmc> CL has this?
18:40:42 <kmc> does it work well?
18:41:11 <Koen> A successfully trapped condition causes execution to continue at the site of the error, as though no error occurred.
18:41:13 <Koen> interesting
18:41:40 <Bike> basically when you "handle" a condition you install a type-function pair in the dynamic environment, and then when an error happens it looks through the dynamic environment to find a pair with the type of the error
18:41:57 <Koen> so you can make a code that has "x / y" somewhere in it, and wrap it in a "try ... with Division_by_zero -> 3" and if y = 0 it will act as if x / y = 3 ?
18:42:04 <Roujo> "on error resume;"
18:42:07 <Bike> it's really very useful, like for example, when i had an irc bot it would raise an "i don't understand this type of message" condition
18:42:20 <Bike> and in my code i just had it handle that as ignore and continue and it worked great
18:42:20 <boily> I think all the quotes from anybody ever are currently covered.
18:42:33 <Roujo> "throw new IDontEvenException("wat");"
18:42:34 <Bike> using an external irc library i didn't want to mess with, i mean
18:42:53 <Roujo> boily: Congrats! =)
18:43:02 <Bike> Koen: i think so.
18:43:14 <elliott> conditions freak me out a bit
18:43:17 <elliott> they feel a little spaghetti
18:43:29 <Bike> yeah they're easy to fuck up probably
18:43:29 <Koen> "it's really very useful, like for example, when the key doesn't go in the lock I just have to force and it works great"
18:43:30 <elliott> also they kinda break RT :P
18:43:36 <Bike> rt?
18:43:44 <Bike> thank goodness rust has like nine types of error handling apparently
18:44:07 <elliott> referential transparency
18:44:17 <kmc> Bike: just like haskell! i feel so at home
18:44:28 <elliott> because (x / 0) is _|_ but then it's also 123 or 346534563456536 instead depending on the surrounding context
18:44:36 <elliott> well, I guess you could just separate asynchronous exceptions out as a separate concern.
18:45:00 <Koen> (btw is it me or did they drastically reduce the number of elements to sort when showing off particularly inefficient sorts?)
18:45:08 <Bike> CL: (handler-case (/ 4 3) (division-by-zero () 3)) => 4/3, (handler-case (/ 4 0) (division-by-zero () 3)) => 3
18:45:13 <kmc> i should probably learn how to use delimited continuations one day
18:45:14 <Phantom_Hoover> Koen, yes
18:45:16 <Phantom_Hoover> obviously
18:45:21 <Bike> dittomc
18:45:37 <elliott> kmc: have you used Cont? :P
18:45:44 <kmc> in Haskell? yes
18:46:13 <Bike> have you used Cont in Rust!
18:46:19 -!- mnoqy has joined.
18:46:20 <Bike> that's rust-factorial
18:46:26 <kmc> :O
18:46:39 <Bike> exponentially rustier for the hands-on ninja developer.
18:46:49 <elliott> kmc: well, delimited continuations are just Cont, pretty much.
18:46:55 <Koen> gnome sorts looks like it's trying to do insertion sort but the insertion is very approximative
18:47:14 <kmc> elliott: this is my skeptical face
18:47:20 <Phantom_Hoover> gnome sort is insertion crossed with bubble
18:47:25 <Bike> haskell is the mother of all, kmc.
18:47:36 <elliott> ContExample.hs [4K]
18:47:37 <elliott> A sample shift/reset code in Haskell, in the Cont monad -- the monad for delimited control

18:47:47 <elliott> reset = return . runC

18:48:09 <boily> Roujo: just had to merge some stuff and do minor corrections. please check the new PDF.
18:48:11 <Koen> bitonic sort: merge sort except the merging part reshuffles the list
18:48:16 <Phantom_Hoover> still have no idea wtf bitonic sort is
18:48:27 <kmc> dymaxion sort
18:48:28 <boily> wasn't there something on page 34 with a tilde being incorrectly parsed?

18:49:33 * boily slaps Roujo with a slightly damp soviet-era sorting algorithm
18:52:22 <fizzie> Bike: "While the jth record is being processed during a straight insertion sort, we compare its key with about j/2 of the previously sorted keys, on the average; -- [We can use a binary search.] This method is called /binary insertion/; it was mentioned by John Mauchly as early as 1964, in the first published discussion of computer sorting. The unfortunate difficulty with binary insertion is ...
18:52:28 <fizzie> ... that it solves only half of the problem; after we have found where record R_j is to be inserted, we still need to move about (1/2)j of the previously sorted records in order to make room for R_j, so the total running time is still essentially proportional to N^2." -- D. Knuth, /The Art of Computer Programming, Vol. 3, Sorting and Searching/. Second Edition, Addison-Wesley, 1998, chapter ...

18:55:24 <Koen> but then does he uses that to think "okay, we need a data structure that allows dichotomy search, but also has O(1) insertion?
18:55:41 <Koen> and come up with some tree sort or something
18:55:46 <Koen> does he use*
18:55:57 <zzo38> boily: This PDF won't load in my computer; do you have another file?
18:56:17 <oerjan> oh dear
18:57:15 <AnotherTest> zzo38: what pdf viewer are you using
18:57:21 <Roujo> oerjan: What
18:57:38 <oerjan> Roujo: the curse of zzo38's setup
18:58:19 <fizzie> Koen: No. After describing the two-way insertion sort (another trick), it continues with shellsort and other things.
18:58:37 <AnotherTest> I would recommend evince
18:58:51 <zzo38> Do you have a file other than PDF?
18:58:53 <Koen> ohhhhhhhh silly me I thought "shellsort" stood for "the sort command in the shell"
18:59:00 <AnotherTest> at least it opens with evince
18:59:19 <boily> zzo38: how come? what's happening?
18:59:34 <boily> it opens with okular.
18:59:41 <fizzie> The other day, I generated a PDF file locally and tried to submit it to IEEE. and got a "this file could not be converted to PDF" error back.
18:59:46 <Roujo> zzo38: There's the original LaTeX file, if you want it
18:59:48 <oerjan> boily: i recommend sending him a dvi
19:00:07 <fizzie> Turns out the pdfTeX-1.40.13 I have here generates a PDF 1.5 file, while the pdfTeX-1.40.10 sticks to PDF 1.4, and that made all the difference.
19:00:08 <zzo38> The source file will do fine, since I am sure I can load that in any text editor.
19:00:13 <boily> zzo38: I'll send you the dvi, and if you want you can join the github repo.
19:00:22 <zzo38> Yes, a DVI will also work fine.

19:10:14 <fizzie> Koen: It does describe quite many variants of insertion sort, including the linked list insertion sort, and the tree-structured arrangement. ("This possibility was first explored about 1957 by D. J. Wheeler -- A similar but simpler tree-insertion scheme, using binary trees, was devised by C. M. Berners-Lee about 1958 -- Since the binary tree method and its refinements are quite important for ...
19:10:20 <fizzie> ... searching as well as sorting, they are discussed at length in Section 6.2.2".) The whole Shapter 5.2.1. ("Sorting by Insertion") is 26 pages long.

19:16:12 -!- S1 has joined.
19:16:40 <Koen> heap sort is kinda twisted - we're gonna take the elements from the array to put them in a tree, then take the elements from the tree to put them back in the array - except the tree is stored in the array, so're basically we're completely reorganizing the array into a still-not-sorted-but-with-some-logic-you-cant-see-yet array that will be easier to sort in the future
19:16:51 <fizzie> oerjan: (Well, all the "C. M. Berners-Lee" references. I don't know what the M stands for.)
19:17:05 <oerjan> hm right
19:17:20 <zzo38> boily: Most of the files have strange filename and other things probably not needed so I only extracted the *.tex files; those ones will load fine in a text editor.
19:17:32 <S1> Besides... Is there still interest in a programm that's fed with program code and determines the language(s) the code is written in? Cause I've got a concept.
19:17:37 <oerjan> Conway Middlename
19:18:15 <AnotherTest> S1: probably. Could be useful
19:18:33 <zzo38> S1: OK, although such thing wouldn't always work
19:18:43 <zzo38> It can work sometimes, though.
19:18:47 <zzo38> It might be worth a try.
19:19:07 <Koen> then you can add it to google translate
19:19:15 <fizzie> "The marriage of Conway M Berners-Lee and Mary L Woods is registered at Hampstead, Middlesex 3rd quarter 1954 vol 5c page 1925 --" it seems a mystery, lots of references but none mentioning the expansion.
19:19:20 <fizzie> I'm sure it's listed *somewhere*.
19:19:21 <Roujo> "Google Code Translate"
19:20:02 <boily> zzo38: you only need the .tex files to compile the stuff. the source/ folder is a local copy of the wisdom DB. README.md is a readme.

19:20:18 <fizzie> "http://sprunge.us/bXPJ Tim talks of his parents.
19:20:26 <fizzie> Disregard the ".
19:20:56 <zzo38> boily: Well, yes I have only extracted the *.tex so it is OK, but of course to compile it, I would also need LaTeX and all of the packages and fonts you used. I can just read it in the text editor it is fine, though.
19:21:33 <boily> zzo38: it is a fact.
19:22:04 <Roujo> By now, just `pastequotes? =P

19:29:48 <zzo38> Should you change "Plain TeX" into "Plain \TeX" to print using the TeX logo?
19:30:26 <ais523> Koen: yes

19:38:21 <Taneb> "hello world" is a perfectly valid brainfuck program
19:38:41 <zzo38> boily: Well, I know how I can fix these things in Plain TeX, not in LaTeX though
19:39:20 <AnotherTest> I think it's generally impossible to do perfect language detection, due to polyglots. Unless it reported all of the languages of course.
19:39:55 <zzo38> AnotherTest: Yes, that is one reason; there are also programming languages with varying syntax, programming languages that accept any input file, and other things.

19:42:03 <Koen> what if the program is in emmental or mascarpone and the syntax evolves to have bits in every language in the wiki
19:43:16 <S1> Koen: uh shit... well I hope that 1) there are at least some keywords in that language written horizontal. 2) the programmer is intelligent enough to recognize a 2D language -_-
19:43:35 <Koen> I hadn't thought about option 2
19:43:55 <oerjan> <boily> I don't know who crystal-cola is, but I like them. proper LaTeX in their replies.
19:44:07 <oerjan> crystal-cola has gone by many nicks.

19:45:30 <oerjan> a mystery. not here at present. last time was as katla.
19:46:04 <oerjan> the unusual thing about last time is that e _didn't_ explode violently before leaving afair.

19:46:46 <zzo38> Did you look at the recent CGA Collection? Do you like to write a review of it that fits in one line of the wisdom file?
19:47:15 <boily> ~duck CGA Collection
19:47:15 <metasepia> --- No relevant information
19:47:28 <oerjan> boily: j-invariant is probably also in the quotes file.
19:47:39 <boily> zzo38: what is the CGA Collection?
19:48:02 <zzo38> boily: It is a collection of public domain computer games for DOS computers.
19:48:05 <boily> oerjan: I... think I saw some of their quotes in there. peek at the last section ↑
19:48:20 <zzo38> http://zzo38computer.org/GAMES/CGACOLL.ZIP You can download the source-codes, executables, and documentation.
19:49:24 <boily> oerjan: let me guess. j-invariant is someone else.
19:49:37 <boily> zzo38: perusing that in a few minutes... I'm reformatting Taneb.
19:49:49 <Taneb> Oh dear
19:52:44 <zzo38> This ZIP file will fit on a single 3.5" floppy disk.
19:53:12 <kmc> zzo38: does it need to be double density?
19:53:57 <boily> Taneb: you are all nice and shiny, now.
19:54:00 <zzo38> kmc: I haven't checked, but a 1.44MB high density disk works.
19:54:12 <Taneb> :D
19:54:13 <boily> zzo38: does it work in qemu?
19:54:57 <boily> (or probably dosbox)
19:55:05 <zzo38> boily: I have not tried, but if it has DOS then I expect it to work.

20:20:44 <zzo38> Can you play Washizu mahjong?
20:21:10 <zzo38> What rule variants do you use when playing mahjong?
20:21:19 <Roujo> OH
20:21:20 <Roujo> Right
20:21:29 <Roujo> Not-Solitaire Mahjong
20:21:42 <Roujo> Please forgive my mindblank >_>
20:22:06 <boily> zzo38: I played classic chinese at first, but now I exclusively play riichi. some members play hong kong (I should learn the rules some time).
20:22:36 <boily> zzo38: concerning variations in a single style, we don't apply kuitan nashi, we use kuikae, and sometimes play with yakitori. we never use uma, though.
20:22:38 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Ping timeout: 268 seconds).
20:22:50 <Roujo> boily: We never even met yet. Mahjong might be a little too... forward?
20:23:06 <Roujo> Come by my apartment on Saturday and we'll talk about it
20:23:10 <boily> Roujo: enwéye don, viens faire un tour! on mord pas! (la plupart du temps)
20:23:34 <zzo38> I don't like kuitan nashi either; I play kuitan ari, but don't use yakitori
20:24:01 <boily> kuitan nashi is for... uhm... Roujo, how would you translate «moumoune» in English?
20:24:04 <kmc> isn't yakitori a way of cooking chicken
20:24:11 <boily> kmc: also.
20:24:27 <Roujo> boily: "Chicken"
20:24:28 <zzo38> kmc: Yes, but in mahjong it is penalty for someone who never wins a single hand during the game
20:24:32 <boily> zzo38: yakitori is rough on the nerves. it makes the game very stressful.
20:25:05 <boily> zzo38: uhm, if I may correct you, yakitori is a game of chicken where you have to declare riichi at least once during East and South.
20:25:32 <boily> (and if all four players have called riichi, it resets)
20:25:43 <boily> Roujo: thanks.
20:25:48 <zzo38> boily: That is a different kind of yakitori game then
20:26:00 <boily> zzo38: let me check, just to be sure...
20:26:04 <zzo38> boily: What happen in case of no-ten riichi?
20:26:41 <zzo38> I have made up a few variants, though, even. One is that menzenchintsumo counts 1 han toward the requirement for winning but it doesn't score 1 han; another is that ippatsu doesn't count for self-drawn.
20:26:50 <boily> zzo38: ah. wikipédia points to your yakitori.
20:27:24 <boily> zzo38: in no-ten riichi, you hope somebody else wins. if you get to an exhaustive hand, you *have* to show your hand, and then it's chombo.
20:28:07 <zzo38> Yes, I know it is chombo, but does it cancel the yakitori counter in your kind of yakitori game when that happens?
20:28:24 <Roujo> I can't tell if you guys are pulling a Mornington Crescent or not
20:28:35 <boily> zzo38: menzen tsumo is just like any other yaku. ippatsu on a tsumo is just dramatic and fun :D (did it last sunday. it was completely undeserved, made me score a haneman as oya. it was grandiose!)
20:28:50 <kmc> Roujo: me either
20:28:55 <boily> zzo38: eeeeeeeeeh... we never had that scenario happen.
20:29:06 <kmc> also that is a perfect way to describe the sense of confusion
20:29:07 <boily> Roujo: honestly, everything you see here is real mahjong.
20:29:16 <kmc> zzo38: do you ever play Mornington Crescent?
20:29:35 <zzo38> kmc: No, but I do have a map of the London Underground.
20:29:36 <Roujo> I play Berri-UQAM with my SO, if that counts
20:29:53 <boily> zzo38: I'll have to ask our expert player next time. that point is very interesting.
20:29:58 <boily> Roujo: ha ha ha!
20:30:41 <Roujo> It's fun!
20:30:54 <Roujo> Especially with the Special AMT Extension rules
20:32:32 <boily> zzo38: my favourite yaku combo is the Infamous Men Tan Pin (tsumo, tan'yao, pinfu), nicknamed the «Anyway en tout cas bin là» here (quote mash-up from a bad movie).
20:33:11 <boily> zzo38: plug in a riichi, pile up the dora, and get a ludicrous amount of points from your disgruntled opponents.
20:34:07 <boily> Roujo: is the Montmorency/Cartier transition valid, or do you stop at Concorde when doing a double-lateral?
20:34:30 <zzo38> Other things I eliminate are the "all green", and the bonuses for first-turn stuff. I also allow players to declare riichi even if your score is negative.
20:35:15 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined.
20:35:47 <oerjan> <Roujo> I can't tell if you guys are pulling a Mornington Crescent or not <-- zzo38 is the last person in the channel i'd suspect of doing that.
20:35:54 <boily> zzo38: all green is epic. a girl did that with suankō during a tournament, while oya. 96000 points.
20:36:17 <boily> zzo38: also, when a player is bankrupt, it ends the game. if you don't have at least a thousand left, no riichi.
20:36:41 <boily> zzo38: my bro actively tries to achieve tenhō. hasn't worked yet :P
20:36:46 <zzo38> boily: You are playing dobon, then.
20:36:58 <zzo38> boily: And how can you actively try to achieve tenhou?
20:37:05 <boily> zzo38: yup. I did that last Sunday on a chombo :D
20:37:17 <boily> (I was furiten, and called ron.)
20:37:26 <boily> zzo38: ask Pouti.
20:37:45 <boily> Roujo: comment t'avais fait la dernière fois pour réussir à faire que le Pouti s'en vienne sur le channel?
20:38:26 <zzo38> I just play that when calling ron when furiten or otherwise an invalid win, you have to expose your tiles but then you can put them back up and the game continues normally. If you make incorrect calls too often then you may be disqualified (except for no-ten riichi)
20:39:56 <boily> in games between regular members, it's chombo, and that's it. it seems harsh at first, but nobody really minds.
20:40:08 <boily> when playing with my friends from Québec City, it's much more lenient.
20:40:19 <boily> (and when alcohol is involved, screw penalties.)
20:41:33 <zzo38> To simplify it a bit, I also ignore the fu, and just treat it as always 25 fu, so that there is no rounding (some players use 30 fu, but this results in rounding); this also results pinfu slightly different, more like the "All Chow Game" in the Singapore game
20:42:13 <zzo38> To me the rounding is considered a bit unfair.
20:42:22 <Roujo> boily: Je lui ai demandé de se pointer sur FB? =P
20:42:49 <Roujo> boily: Also, yeah, Montmorency/Cartier is alright, it's just... weird. I've never seen it work. >_>
20:42:55 <boily> the most common hands lie on the 30 fu line, so you get to know the points by heart. otherwise, it's 40 fu. very rarely you get an interesting hand at 50.
20:43:01 <boily> Roujo: logically.
20:43:08 <Roujo> But yeah, it's legal
20:44:31 <boily> Roujo: it works in weird tournament matches between 3 players, but only if the Drapeau handicap is applied to an out-of-town visitor. I think they changed the limits to Longueuil in 2006 for that, otherwise there were too many corner cases left.
20:44:38 <zzo38> boily: Yes, OK, but I do use many variations of the rules, like I have said; it is the game I prefer anyways
20:44:56 <boily> zzo38: do you plan to visit Montréal in the foreseeable future?
20:45:16 <zzo38> boily: No, I currently have no such plan.
20:45:28 <boily> zzo38: :(
20:46:31 <boily> that means I'll have to cross the Great Puddle some day if I want to match you.
20:47:13 <zzo38> Maybe I will go over there in some day, but I don't expect so.
20:48:21 <boily> we could meet in the middle.
20:48:26 <Roujo> boily: Ah, I wouldn't know. My SO is the only one I play with =/
20:48:55 <zzo38> I still prefer the Japanese game over the other mahjong games, though!
20:49:00 -!- MindlessDrone has quit (Quit: MindlessDrone).
20:49:06 <zzo38> boily: Do you sometimes play Washizu mahjong?
20:49:30 <boily> zzo38: no. I am subject to vasovagal responses when my blood is involved.
20:49:49 <zzo38> You can play without your blood if you want to, as long as you have some way to keep track of hit points
20:50:48 <Roujo> boily: I have a friend like that.
20:50:55 <Roujo> Well, blood in general, really
20:51:01 <Roujo> He's hemophobic
20:51:20 <Roujo> [16:48:21] <boily> we could meet in the middle.
20:51:22 <Roujo> Good plan
20:51:25 <Roujo> Tell me how that goes
20:51:33 <boily> other's people blood I have no problem with. I just really prefer that mine stays inside my body, thank you very much.
20:51:38 <zzo38> The "Akagi DS" game includes a mode for Washizu mahjong and I play that game.
20:51:53 <boily> I wonder if there is mahjong yet on the Ouya...
20:53:16 <zzo38> You are allowed to look at your partner's tiles, and communication with them freely, and oka and uma does count.
20:53:37 <boily> Roujo: there was that collecte organised by héma-québec at the cégep one time. I went by and was like: “Hey, I should try that. I got two hours to kill”. bad idea.
20:53:40 <zzo38> (The uma really does add another aspect to Washizu mahjong.)
20:53:56 <Roujo> boily: Did you die? D:
20:54:08 <boily> Roujo: it felt like dying, but I don't think so.
20:54:55 <boily> Roujo: I was fine up to the point where I was pierced and plugged to the machine. a few seconds later, reboot.
20:55:12 <zzo38> Usually the leaders are in first and second place, but I have once won with Washizu in last place, giving me a lot of uma bonus.
20:55:28 <oerjan> boily: what's the Great Puddle?
20:55:29 <boily> you wake up shaking, shivering, sweating, your hands are prickly, you are hungry, you are nauseous, you want to pee...
20:55:35 <boily> oerjan: the Atlantic Ocean.
20:55:42 <Roujo> oerjan: the Authentic Ocean
20:55:55 <boily> zzo38: uma is nasty and perverse :p
20:56:35 <zzo38> boily: In an ordinary game with four players playing by themself, yes, but in Washizu mahjong with the team format it uses, I like it.
20:57:37 <boily> Roujo: also, my blood pressure was unstable, and my heart was beating some eldritch morse message.
20:57:53 <oerjan> boily: i think you will find that zzo38s in the mirror are closer than they appear.
20:58:10 <oerjan> in fact, you should know that already, having read the quotes
20:58:23 <Roujo> boily: Sounds like a party to me
20:58:36 <zzo38> boily: Are you good at morse code?
20:58:48 <boily> oerjan: right. I just assume that people are in Hexham by default, and forgot that zzo38 is from BC.
20:58:56 <boily> zzo38: sorry about that.
20:58:59 <oerjan> good default.
20:59:04 <boily> zzo38: uhm, somewhat.
21:00:06 <boily> Roujo: maybe I should become a Super Serial Killer, with my secret weakness being my own blood.
21:01:04 <Roujo> boily: zzo38's user page on Wikipedia would tell you that much
21:01:04 <oerjan> .... .- ... - ..- .-. .... .- ... - ..- .-. .... .- ... - ..- .-.
21:01:07 <Roujo> And much, much more
21:01:08 <Phantom_Hoover> so you have no powers while you're alive?
21:01:12 <Phantom_Hoover> actually that sounds sweet
21:01:54 <zzo38> In the Akagi DS game, after each hanchan, oka and uma are counted, and then you compare the final scores of the leader of both teams; however has less, loses however many hit-points is the differences.
21:01:57 <boily> oerjan: nice try :p
21:02:16 <boily> zzo38: yowch.
21:02:45 <zzo38> (The scores of the supporters are not used, except to calculate oka and uma.)
21:03:50 <zzo38> Any time during the game that one leader pays the other, the payer also loses that number of hit-points, too.
21:04:39 <fizzie> .... . -..- - ..- .-.
21:04:46 <myname> -.-
21:05:23 <zzo38> Winning off of the last card seems to be much more common in Washizu mahjong, than in the ordinary game.
21:06:27 <kmc> zzo38: what kind of map of the Underground do you have, and what do you use it for?
21:07:03 <zzo38> kmc: Currently, I do not use it for anything. Someone who was there had it when coming back to Canada, and since he didn't need it anymore he gave it to me.
21:07:50 <boily> zzo38: I can't remember any occurence of haitei happening in any game I played.
21:08:28 <zzo38> boily: Except in Washizu mahjong, it hasn't happened to me either.
21:10:35 <kmc> makes sense
21:10:58 <kmc> zzo38: it's a nice map, don't you think
21:11:12 <zzo38> kmc: Yes.
21:11:31 <kmc> too bad the Circle line isn't a circle anymore :(
21:12:25 <kmc> also it stops at Edgware Road twice, which is confusing
21:12:48 <kmc> there are two stations named Edgware Road and the Circle Line stops at one of them twice and the other not at all
21:13:14 <fizzie> We're getting the "drop [as in, raindrop] line", it has this shape: http://portal.liikennevirasto.fi/portal/page/portal/f/hankkeet/suunnitteilla/pisara/pisara_kartta_0.jpg
21:13:31 <kmc> oh well, the NYC subway system has like 50 station names that are reused
21:13:48 <kmc> fizzie: heh
21:14:33 <fizzie> Apparently it's just called "Helsinki City Rail Loop" in English, but the Finnish name refers to a teardrop shape.
21:14:42 <zzo38> I think ippatsu is usually played to not count toward the han requirement to win (in Akagi DS it is like this); I prefer that it does count, unless the discarder is on the same team in which case it still scores but doesn't count toward requirement.
21:15:09 <kmc> ah neat
21:16:11 <kmc> running the commuter trains in a loop through the city center, to free up capacity at the main terminal for long distance trains
21:16:23 <boily> zzo38: ippatsu depends on a riichi anyway. in washizu you can ippatsu without that?
21:17:29 <zzo38> boily: No, I mean when you need 2 han to win if the oya wins five times
21:17:45 <kmc> fizzie: there should be a high speed rail tunnel to Tallinn, don't you think
21:18:34 <boily> zzo38: oh. right. good catch, here.

21:21:51 <Taneb> I still think Wang Tiles would look good in a bathroom

21:29:41 <kmc> yes
21:29:50 <fizzie> "If it's empty, fill it with trains," as the saying goes.
21:30:12 <fizzie> My wife's brother 3D-printed a train at the library the other day.
21:30:15 <kmc> that document doesn't say much about the gauge issue
21:30:23 <kmc> nice! they have 3D printers at the library?
21:30:49 <fizzie> Not in any sort of generally-available-in-many-places way, just in the one at Tapiola and perhaps a couple of other places.
21:30:57 <kmc> cool

Seems that a single 3D "printout" costs 0.40 EUR -- the same as a regular paper printout -- there.
21:36:46 <fizzie> From what I've heard, the machines at Tapiola are rather regularly broken. 3D printing doesn't quite seem to have matured all the way yet.
21:37:24 <fizzie> (On the other hand, regular printers still paper jam all the time too, so... But it's usually less of a mess to unjam.)
21:37:27 <kmc> indeed
21:37:39 <kmc> I don't know how often the really expensive professional grade printers break
21:37:42 <kmc> probably still a fair bit

22:49:32 <Phantom_Hoover> yes
22:49:46 <Phantom_Hoover> EDC stands for 'everyday carry'
22:49:57 <pikhq> 23/m/mo, asl?
22:50:10 <Phantom_Hoover> obviously most of them carry knives
22:50:43 <kmc> ah, this is distinct from the porn reddit convention of putting [m] or [f] etc in the title
22:50:51 <kmc> ... not like I would have any way of knowing about that
22:51:06 <Phantom_Hoover> there's an F on the second page! she does not carry a knife
22:51:50 <pikhq> I have every confidence that kmc does not know about porn.

22:53:46 <Bike> me too, redditor
22:53:57 <Bike> only leave the house with... god that is one stubby revolver
22:54:11 <Bike> are you supposed to like punch people with it
22:54:22 <Phantom_Hoover> i checked the comments; the people asking "why the fuck do you need four knives, a gun and two dozen bullets" are all downvoted
22:54:28 <zzo38> Akagi did once make a haitei on purpose (in a game that isn't Washizu mahjong, and isn't teams), and being the only yaku.
22:54:41 <Phantom_Hoover> Bike, you use it to hammer the knives in
22:54:58 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: haha wow, link to the comments?
22:55:01 <Bike> if you run out of ammo with your first knife you have to use the second
22:55:03 <Bike> flawless plan
22:55:07 <Phantom_Hoover> http://www.reddit.com/r/EDC/comments/1mji11/21m_microholic/
22:55:24 <Bike> put the bullets on the knifes then the knifes in the gun
22:55:56 <olsner> put the knives on the bullets and shoot knives
22:56:06 <elliott> "Not trying to hate but what is your purpose for each knife? Is one for cutting tape/boxes, another for defense? How do you carry them (pockets using clip, sheath on belt, in a backpack)?" "I use any of em for the job at hand"
22:56:16 <elliott> pretty sure this guy is a professional killer.
22:56:30 <Bike> nah he uses hunt and peck typing but REALLY hunts
22:56:32 <Phantom_Hoover> well suppose he's cutting something and one of the knives gets stuck
22:57:10 <Bike> catastrophic
22:57:18 <elliott> "I like options and having several knives gives me options."
22:57:30 <elliott> I don't think he could sound more ominous if he tried
22:57:41 <Bike> several knife related options
22:57:46 <elliott> "An don't get into the whole switchblades are illegal thing. They aren't where I live and if they were I honestly don't care."
22:58:01 <Phantom_Hoover> your average idiot just shrugs at this point and, at best, goes home to get another knife and gets shanked along the way after he uses all his bullets on the thirty-odd muggers coming at him
22:58:37 <kmc> reddit is scary
22:58:48 <Bike> wow the FAQ only has one question and the question is "Why are you carrying a gun/knife/etc?"
22:59:05 <elliott> "I want more than five shots available to me."
23:00:42 <Fiora> elliott: someone who needs lots of shots, maybe it's a bartender?
23:01:09 <Bike> just shoots all his patrons
23:01:29 <elliott> "two shots and four knives, please"
23:01:33 <Phantom_Hoover> 5 years later "oh shit was THAT what they were asking for?"
23:02:18 <Phantom_Hoover> "And the reason I don't always carry te glock is because I'm a smaller guy and the glock is a little big."
23:02:44 <Phantom_Hoover> so does he carry both guns when he feels like having it along or does he at least leave the revolver behind
23:02:55 <olsner> probably both, more options?
23:03:15 <fizzie> He should get a gun that shoots smaller guns.
23:03:40 <olsner> or a portable 3d printer loaded with gun templates
23:03:56 <kmc> "Security in this office park is a joke. Last year, I came to work with my spud gun in a duffel bag. I sat at my desk all day, with a rifle that shoots potatoes at 60 pounds per square inch. Can you imagine if I was deranged?"
23:04:45 <Phantom_Hoover> i had to google to make sure that wasn't a serious gun control analogy
23:07:04 <olsner> some nut with a gun complaining about nuts with guns getting into his office?
23:07:20 <elliott> potatoes, not nuts
23:10:30 <Phantom_Hoover> haha wow this was the second submission after: http://i.imgur.com/aHZklek.jpg
23:11:20 <Phantom_Hoover> "if i'm going to carry things they'd better either be for killing people, or finding more people to kill"
23:15:22 <fizzie> Is that knife connected with some string to another knife?
23:15:52 <zzo38> Do you need a lot of guns to kill people? Isn't one sufficient?
23:16:00 <Phantom_Hoover> yes
23:16:01 <Phantom_Hoover> yes it is
23:16:03 <zzo38> Why do you need to find people to kill anyways?
23:16:30 <Phantom_Hoover> the second knife is there to cut the first knife free from it
23:17:00 <fizzie> I was thinking knife-chucks.
23:17:57 <Phantom_Hoover> you can garotte an unaware mugger whilst also stabbing him in two different places
23:21:23 <Phantom_Hoover> http://www.reddit.com/r/EDC/comments/1mjrh6/remember_that_kickstarter_for_pens_that_was/
23:21:31 <Phantom_Hoover> oh god is this one of those pens we were mocking
23:22:37 <kmc> yes it does look like a vibrator
23:23:09 <fizzie> "It feels... just so good, you guys."
23:23:11 <kmc> disappointing that it isn't actually one, really
23:23:13 <fizzie> I'm sure it does.
23:23:58 <fizzie> It feels "airtight" and "well-machined" too, if you catch my drift.
23:24:00 <Phantom_Hoover> i still can't believe they don't realise they're not even paying for a pen, they're paying for an aluminium cylinder with a hole in one end
23:24:24 <kmc> fizzie: could be trouble
23:29:39 <Phantom_Hoover> http://www.reddit.com/r/EDC/comments/1mfa5p/help_me_figure_out_how_to_carry_some_combination/
23:30:09 <Phantom_Hoover> i can think of one big redundancy you could cut back on
