00:18:26 <fizzie> Well, I did dig out that it's an alignment issue, because aligning a (manually positioned) buffer it sticks in memory on an 8-byte boundary fixes the thing. AIUI, they've had quite a lot of those. (But the test fails even when DOUBLE_MODE=1, which should be the default.)
00:20:17 <zzo38> Due to the ordinary angels in a Dungeons&Dragons game are they don't particularly like it much, and isn't very applicable to Gxxyuxihuvxi religion, I make up new ideas about "celestials of Gxxyuxihuvxi" they are different (still Outsider) creatures, which are difference from others including they have no mouth or hand or feet, but does have shiny bright wings similar to insects wings, various eyes, tentacles, and spikes, and two antennas.

00:38:00 <oerjan> well no, but i'm saying your description still is close to some stuff i've seen called angels
00:38:54 <oerjan> the tvtropes page is going on about angels not needing to look human, of course.
00:39:55 <zzo38> Ah. OK, so that is how you meant
00:42:47 <Bike> i want to say i saw cherubs with eyes before narbonic but i don't remember where
00:45:56 <Bike> well, maimonides said that the ability of zygotes to form organs were cherubim, apparently.
00:47:13 <Sgeo> I really should go ahead and write code that works with er/ir macros but not syntax-case, and code that works with syntax-case but not er/ir macros
00:47:21 <Sgeo> I mean, not translatable easily between them
00:47:43 <Sgeo> But for the Chicken Scheme code, I need to get emacs working in order for me to stay sane :/
00:47:49 <zzo38> Sgeo: Yes do that if it can show the difference between them, and possibly if they both have use to do otherwise
00:47:56 -!- Oj742 has joined.
00:48:04 <Sgeo> The difference, as I currently understand it:
00:48:09 <Bike> what does that even have to do with the merkabah
00:48:14 <Sgeo> er/ir allows you to only access the 'outermost' context and the macro's own context, and syntax-case lets you access your own context as well as any context of the input form, but you can't say just 'outermost context'
00:48:34 <zzo38> I also include other things: It cannot live in material plane for more than fifty hours at a time, unless there is a special blessing to do so. Two kind of eye beams are heal beam and confuse beam, and one other magical ability is to borrow some skills and intelligence points of someone they have grappled, for exactly 24 hours (after that it is reset).
00:49:34 <zzo38> (In anti-magic such effects are unusable but can continue; illuminated wings remain illuminated too. In anti-magic only physical attacks are usable, and from what I can tell there are only two: spikes and tentacles.)
00:49:43 <Bike> what the hell is a context
00:50:21 <zzo38> O, I forgot one more magic ability which is "aura of righteousness of holiness" is a continuous ability.
00:50:41 <Sgeo> Speaking about lexical contexts
00:50:54 <Sgeo> Although in the case of er/ir macros, they don't physically exist, I think
00:50:57 <Sgeo> Just conceptually
00:53:00 <Sgeo> Bike: ir macros are beautiful, you should learn them
00:53:23 <Sgeo> Although I think they're limited in some ways, but still trying to wrap my mind around how

01:02:51 <zzo38> In here where I am, daylight saving time is not changed back yet.

03:36:26 <shachaf> imo someone should mark them as duplicates or something. is there a way of doing that.......
03:42:37 <mnoqy> there's a thing for marking that one should be merged into the other at least
03:44:38 <shachaf> one of them is more general because it's not restricted to small categories

03:49:26 <shachaf> well in a complete heytina algebra there is
03:52:37 <shachaf> hm so if you have arbitrary joins and finite meets in a lattice and meets distribute over joins then you can define implication(exponentials) with a -> b = join {c : c meet a <= b}

04:49:10 <Sgeo> What's bad funny?
04:55:49 <zzo38> Do you know of any program that converts between UTF, VLQ, and raw formats?
04:58:58 <zzo38> (If you convert UTF-8 to UTF-8, you get rid of overlong encodings but will retain surrogates. If you convert UTF-8 to UTF-16 and then UTF-16 to UTF-8, you will convert CESU-8 to proper UTF-8. If you convert UTF-8 to UTF-16 and then treat the result as raw 16-bit data and convert that to UTF-8, then you will get CESU-8.)
05:12:29 <pikhq> zzo38: Note that UTF-8 to UTF-16 to UTF-8 only does that *if* you don't validate the UTF-8 parsing.
05:12:57 <pikhq> UTF-16 surrogates are not valid Unicode, so UTF-8 with surrogates is a parse error.
05:13:25 <pikhq> (though this assumes the UTF-8 parser checks. If not, then that is what happens, yes)
05:13:50 <zzo38> pikhq: I am not intending to validate that it is valid Unicode or that it isn't overlong; that would be a separate option. (If it doesn't have to valid Unicode, then UTF-8 can encode up to 36-bit numbers.)
05:14:27 <pikhq> Ah, so more discussing the UTF-8 integer encoding scheme.
05:14:37 <pikhq> Which really needs a better name. :P
05:15:33 <zzo38> If it checks for valid Unicode, then treating UTF-16 as raw 16-bit data and converting to UTF-8 would equally fail.
05:17:54 <zzo38> And some UTF-8 files do contain UTF-16 surrogates; such thing isn't proper Unicode but some programs might not care (VGMCK (a program I wrote) only reads UTF-8 in order to convert to UTF-16, and doesn't treat surrogates as anything special, so it will read them just fine and not be a parse error).
05:18:31 <zzo38> A program which instead decodes UTF-8 to look them up in a font might not work if it contains surrogates, though.
05:20:46 <zzo38> Do other programs allow you to enter trailing spaces that aren't stripped if you use overlong encodings?

15:01:28 <oerjan> <Koen_> also I hate that haskell uses indentation as part of the semantics <-- that's syntax not semantics.
15:02:09 <oerjan> also you can go sit there together with zzo38 and refuse to use it :P
15:05:07 <Koen_> refuse to use haskell? or indentation?
15:18:07 <Phantom__Hoover> Koen_, as for the side effects thing, aiui the way it works is that the IO monad represents ad-hoc imperative programs which handle all the stateful stuff
15:19:25 <Koen_> well as far as I understand "it's okay to have side-effects in the main function, but the other functions are pure"
15:19:59 <Koen_> so i'm guessing the IO monad is just a convenient way to pass the information to main
15:22:09 <Phantom__Hoover> i.e. it's (a representation of) an imperative program which at some point will produce a value of type (), and possibly do other things besides
15:26:07 <oerjan> Koen_: as FireFly mentioned, all indentation sensitivity in haskell is sugar for explicit { ; } blocks.
15:26:16 <Phantom__Hoover> similarly getChar :: IO Char produces a value of type Char, and in the process consumes a character from stdin
15:28:13 <Koen_> oerjan: yes, but I'm not sure how I could choose not to use it
15:28:48 <oerjan> Koen_: well you could use { ; } instead when writing programs. of course it won't help with reading other people's programs.
15:29:02 <Koen_> Phantom__Hoover: well we did use getChar but I really couldn't see how that was any different from getchar in any other language
15:29:38 <Koen_> oerjan: so for instance I could write "let { x = 4; y = 5 } in x + y"?
15:30:48 <Phantom__Hoover> Koen_, because in other languages the type of getchar is just char, and it's treated as a function with no arguments
15:30:52 <Koen_> but does that mean if I write "do" and then a newline and then "{", the newline will be syntactic sugar for an outter block?
15:31:34 <oerjan> Koen_: no. the { being the first token after the do is precisely what turns off the usual indentation sensitivity.
15:31:35 <Slereah> I think I'll have to drop the Unlambda ` for limp.
15:31:44 <Slereah> It works best for mono-letter functions
15:31:57 <Phantom__Hoover> getChar is neither a function nor a character, it's a representation of an imperative program
15:32:12 <Koen_> I don't know what that means
15:33:37 <Phantom__Hoover> well imagine it as an actual program in some imperative language
15:33:51 <oerjan> Koen_: in haskell, getChar has an IO type, which tells that it can do side effects. things that are not marked with such a type cannot call things that are.
15:34:24 <oerjan> Phantom__Hoover: SOOOOOO SOOOOOORRRYYY
15:34:26 <Koen_> that's kinda disappointing but at least I understand
15:34:43 <oerjan> Phantom__Hoover: it seemed to help?
15:35:11 <Phantom__Hoover> no, because he now has the standard misconception that IO is a language-level hack that marks some functions as 'contaminated' with 'statefulness'
15:35:54 <Koen_> kinda like in C some functions on strings give the "constant" type to their argument
15:36:22 <Phantom__Hoover> it isn't; IO is in principle an ordinary algebraic data type, albeit one which is hidden for implementation reasons
15:37:18 <oerjan> Koen_: Phantom__Hoover does have a point that IO values are _not_ functions, they are used differently.
15:37:20 <Koen_> then I guess I'll understand once I've read more about monads; and in the mean time I'll use oerjan's explanation
15:38:25 <Phantom__Hoover> monads are just a structure over a type (which can be something as everyday as lists, or Maybe if you've encountered that) and a couple of functions operating on those structures in certain ways
15:38:55 <oerjan> i am not convinced Phantom__Hoover's way of explaining this is actually better.
15:39:30 <Phantom__Hoover> i thought haskellwiki had a good explanation of IO but all it has is the State RealWorld malarkey
15:39:34 -!- shikhin_ has changed nick to shikhin.
15:40:32 <Koen_> I was told Maybe is just option
15:41:54 <oerjan> Koen_: one important point to be aware of is that evaluating an IO action is not the same as running it, and only the latter performs any actual IO.
15:43:07 <Koen_> but getChar cannot be evaluated without being run, right?
15:43:40 <oerjan> it _can_, although because of haskell's default laziness it is unlikely to happen by accident.
15:43:53 <oerjan> > getChar `seq` "hello"
15:44:03 <Phantom__Hoover> it's just that there's not an awful lot you can do with an IO value except run it
15:44:16 <oerjan> that technically evaluated getChar, although in a useless way.
15:45:54 <oerjan> perhaps more accurately is to say that there is no way to _use_ an IO value without running it.
15:46:21 <Phantom__Hoover> you could also, in theory, have a function of type IO () -> Int that evaluated something stupid about the IO action itself
15:47:12 <oerjan> i don't think haskell has any non-IO means of analyzing IO actions.
15:47:40 <oerjan> and i don't recall much of IO means either, although who knows what exists out there.
15:48:29 <Phantom__Hoover> yeah, it doesn't actually have any such function because, as i said, it's stupid
15:48:37 <oerjan> that Storable / StablePointer stuff from the ffi could probably do something.
15:49:03 <Phantom__Hoover> but, in theory, you could have such a function, and it would be as pure as any other
15:49:33 <oerjan> right if IO was implemented as an ADT as you suggested.
15:52:43 <fizzie> "sig: -nan inf inf inf -inf -inf -inf inf -inf inf -inf inf -inf inf inf inf"
15:55:59 * FireFly wonders if that output is from Lua
15:56:33 <FireFly> I guess 'nan' and 'inf' (with that case) is more common than where I've seen it used, then

16:07:20 <Slereah> Does the lazy vs eager evaluation have a parallel with queue vs stack?
16:07:45 <Slereah> Like you can implement it via piling or queueing instructions
16:14:23 -!- Taneb has quit (Quit: Leaving).
16:16:30 <oerjan> i think queuing instructions doesn't correspond to any of those evaluation strategies.
16:18:34 <Koen_> stacks are cool for scopes
16:18:56 <Koen_> queues are not cool, but more likely to give you turing-completeness :)
16:19:53 -!- zzo38 has joined.
16:22:06 <Slereah> Well I don't really worry about turing completeness
16:22:15 <Slereah> I'm trying to mash together 5 Turing complete languages
16:23:03 <nys> you know what would be good
16:23:04 <Slereah> Same old thang : http://esolangs.org/wiki/Limp
16:23:20 <nys> combining 5 turing complete languages in such a way that it's no longer turing complete
16:23:38 <Slereah> nys : That would be quite a fuck up
16:23:51 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: leaving).
16:24:15 <nys> i mean it would be a challenge in and of itself
16:24:42 <nys> fake-completeness paradigm
16:25:06 <Slereah> I mean, you could take those 5 languages, and restrict the language to just one of those for a particular program
16:25:26 <Slereah> For that to work, you'd have to add restrictions on those languages as well
16:25:33 <nys> well it depends on how they're combined
16:26:03 <nys> what combining means
16:26:25 <Slereah> But I can't think off the cuff on how that would work
16:28:21 <Koen_> what if a program in your language consists in a pipeline of five programs, each in one of the five turing-complete languages
16:28:47 <Koen_> but the pipeline is such that it is no longer possible to do anything you want
16:28:58 <Koen_> because, err, maybe encoding of input and output is fucked up
16:29:25 <nys> i like the idea of it looking like it should work but not actually working
16:29:54 <Slereah> I wonder if you could try mixing it up
16:30:06 <Slereah> Take recursive functions and Lisp
16:30:35 <Slereah> Like suddenly cons car cdr are applied (in some way) to numbers, and succ to lists
16:30:58 <Slereah> In such a way that it makes sense, but isn't TC anymore
16:31:12 <Slereah> Like Succ(list) = (list,Nil) and such
16:31:23 <Koen_> 'succ' feels like cons except you forgot to tell it what element to add to the list
16:33:03 <Koen_> well I'm off to watch Gravity maybe it'll give me ideas :)
