00:03:06 <oerjan> hm i see a misspelling
00:03:19 <tswett> This reminds me of a command I ran once. Lemme see.

00:05:25 <tswett> I'm pretty sure it had either "'"'"'" or '"'"'"' in it.
00:05:55 <tswett> (The correct way to type either of those is to hold down the apostrophe key for a while, while being very fast and precise with the shift key.)
00:07:14 <tswett> `run echo '"'"'"'"' "'"'"'"'"
00:07:30 <fizzie> Neither seems to make too much sense, but 'foo'"'"'bar' is common-ish.
00:07:34 <tswett> One of those must have been it. Lemme see.
00:08:02 <fizzie> Maybe in some two-levels case.
00:09:14 <oerjan> `run python -c 'print repr(repr(repr(repr(repr('"')))))'
00:09:15 <HackEgo> bash: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' \ bash: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
00:09:49 <oerjan> `run python -c "print repr(repr(repr(repr(repr('"\""')))))"
00:09:50 <HackEgo> '\'\\\'\\\\\\\'\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'\\\\\\\'\\\'\''
00:10:18 <oerjan> right you cannot mix both
00:10:34 <oerjan> `run python -c print "a" 'ha'
00:10:50 <tswett> Something along these lines: alias man="MANPAGER='col -b | view -c'"'"'"'set ft=man nomod nolist nonu'"'"'"' -' man"
00:10:57 <tswett> `run echo alias man="MANPAGER='col -b | view -c'"'"'"'set ft=man nomod nolist nonu'"'"'"' -' man"
00:10:57 <oerjan> `run python -c 'print "a" '"'ha'"
00:10:58 <HackEgo> alias man=MANPAGER='col -b | view -c'"'set ft=man nomod nolist nonu'"' -' man
00:11:55 <tswett> Yes, that must have been it.
00:13:01 <tswett> The argument to view -c has to be enclosed in quotes. But since I'm putting that into MANPAGER, those quotes have to be quoted. But since I'm making that an alias, *those* quotes have to be quoted.
00:14:22 <tswett> Thing is, that's a silly way of doing things.
00:14:51 <tswett> `run echo alias man="MANPAGER=\"col -b | view -c 'set ft=man nomod nolist nonu' -\" man"
00:14:53 <HackEgo> alias man=MANPAGER="col -b | view -c 'set ft=man nomod nolist nonu' -" man

10:15:36 <fizzie> I guess, given the first part, the second part is technically true, but it's kind of an understatement to call that "less than half a second".
10:16:16 <fizzie> (This is from some utter nonsense at http://www.cyborg.co/spectrocable/ -- there's the usual impossible compression method there, too.)
10:18:10 <ion> That cable sounds perfect for hifists.
10:18:31 <ion> “Speed: 1.295 x 10^53802 bits per second / 1.62 x 10^53801 bytes per second”
10:18:39 <ion> They’ll of course be able to hear the difference between the two.
10:19:47 <fizzie> The wireless version "allows for a speed of over 10^55000 bits per second! That, in terabits per second, is about 10^54900 terabits per second!" Yeah, I guess that's "about" right, I mean, it's off only by 88 or so orders of magnitude.
10:20:29 <fizzie> I guess when you're talking about completely ludicrous numbers, there's no particular reason to be consistent.
10:23:12 <fizzie> What I think is funny is that, as far as I can tell, there really was a presentation of these "revolutionary technologies" at some actual "serious" tech thing -- http://techweek.com/losangeles/ -> "click here to view the 2013 schedule" -> Thursday 2pm "making the Internet blazing fast".

10:29:29 <fizzie> That, too, was just about to come to the market and revolutionize everything.
10:30:14 <Fiora> it actually claims to compress any file losslessly?
10:30:26 <fizzie> Then nothing happened, and now the guy behind it is doing "Drupal, Concrete5, eZ publish, jQuery, underscore, PhoneGap" at some web shop, which I guess is kind of sad maybe?

14:22:04 <fizzie> How great; I have a broken sshfs mount that I can't seem to fusermount.
14:22:14 <fizzie> fusermount -u, I mean.
14:23:03 <boily> sudo umount --force /mountpoint?
14:23:38 <fizzie> No "sudo" access here.
14:24:02 <fizzie> "fusermount: failed to chdir to [REDACTED; parent of mount point]: Permission denied"
14:24:03 <boily> hm. and I suppose $(which reboot) isn't setuid?
14:24:22 <boily> is there a sysadmin you can berate?
14:24:26 <fizzie> "which reboot" is so 90s.
14:24:46 <boily> systemctl reboot, then?
14:24:47 <fizzie> Of course I can reboot (it goes via DBus and UPower or whatnot), but I don't wanna.
14:25:07 <ais523> fizzie: this reminds me of how I somehow managed to get init to ptrace a process
14:25:15 <fizzie> Maybe I'll just keep collecting dead sshfs mounts.
14:25:22 <ais523> meaning that that process couldn't be killed via any means whatsoever, apart from a reboot
14:25:35 * boily misses the '90s, where machines were simple and emitted an nice blue glow...
14:25:52 <fizzie> Incidentally, we do have privileges to do "sudo apt-get", so the whole "no root access" is kind of based on a honor system.
14:26:11 <ais523> because the only ways to recover would be to debug init (explicitly allowed), or kill init (possible but kind-of fatal to the system)
14:26:34 <boily> fizzie: can you run arbitrary commands from within apt-get?
14:26:38 <ais523> fizzie: I'm not sure; apt-get isn't dpkg, it only installs from repositories
14:26:49 <ais523> so what access you could get from that would depend on the repository contents
14:26:54 <fizzie> ais523: You can "sudo apt-get changelog whatever", and then "!" out of less.
14:27:12 <fizzie> And if someone goes and plugs that hole with a custom pager, I'm pretty sure more can be found; it's not supposed to be secure.
14:27:19 <ais523> apt-get probably should drop permissions in that case
14:27:44 <fizzie> Probably, out of general principles, but it's not really in the use case.
14:28:33 <ais523> have you ever tried running aptitude without arguments, btw?

14:29:55 <ais523> yep, that's what I meant
14:29:59 <ais523> I assumed it was command-line for years
14:30:19 <fizzie> We do have "sudo aptitude" access too; I didn't find an as obvious hole from it, because it doesn't have a spawn-a-shell menu command, and uses its built-in pager for changelogs.

17:56:50 <ais523> I disagree, I think the amount of coercion in a language is another axis

18:41:10 <ais523> boily: gcc adds one to C; it's stored in void* variables and you get it via using unary && on a label

18:50:14 -!- Sprocklem has joined.
18:50:16 <fizzie> And then you call it by dereferencing a void * in a goto.
18:51:14 <fizzie> (Technically it's just a "goto *expression" syntax, and not an instance of the unary *, but still.)
18:53:18 -!- nisstyre has joined.
18:56:54 <ais523> fizzie: in gcc-bf, _exit in the standard library is implemented as "goto *(void *)0"

18:58:49 <b_jonas> ais523: isn't that abort() ?
18:59:01 <b_jonas> not quite, I know, because it's not the same signal
18:59:44 <ais523> b_jonas: _exit doesn't quite have the same semantics as abort, abort can be handled
19:00:52 <ais523> although it always exits after the handler returns

19:13:50 <ais523> but it probably only works on a specific version of gcc and newlib which may now be hard to obtain
19:13:58 <b_jonas> ais523: how do you represent the integers?
19:14:07 <ais523> b_jonas: one byte on each tape element
19:14:13 <ais523> assuming an 8-bit wrapping tape
19:14:25 <b_jonas> well, not so easily anyway
19:14:28 <boily> mroman_: is that you → https://www.facebook.com/roman.muntener ?
19:14:46 <mroman_> I don't have a Facebook Account
19:14:54 <b_jonas> I do only less efficitn formats like binary (addressable only in bits) or zeckendorf representation
19:15:07 <b_jonas> for bytewise you'll have to read Knuth or something
19:15:20 <mroman_> ^- my approximate coordinates
19:15:29 <b_jonas> that means you can only increment and decrement the bytes
19:16:06 <mroman_> N47 41 48, E8 38 23 that is
19:16:19 <boily> (hm. I wonder where 80.246.50.48 will take me...)
19:16:20 <ais523> oh right, this is the build system that runs gcc's build system halfway
19:16:30 <ais523> then runs sed on the generated Makefiles before completing the build
19:16:32 <boily> mroman_: any format translatable to this Physical Earth is fine.

19:17:06 <mroman_> I'm suprised americans don't have an imperial format for coordinates
19:17:46 <b_jonas> that zeckendorf thing is a bit riddiculous
19:18:01 <b_jonas> I still don't know how much addition can loop, and don't know how to implement subtraction properly
19:18:08 <ais523> anyway, this tarball is 50MB, but I'll send it to people who want it
19:18:10 <int-e> nobody likes runs of ones.
19:18:13 <b_jonas> I should try to analyze it some day
19:18:26 <ais523> also, working with gcc was really frustrating
19:18:44 <ais523> most of the codepaths that aren't used for x86 are either buggy and untested, or just outright unimplemented
19:18:58 <b_jonas> and maybe figure out direct multiplication too, looping on zeckendorf digits instead of binary bits, though that might be very difficult
19:23:47 <b_jonas> I probably won't be able to figure out this zeckendorf thing unless I learn about those tricky things people do to do binary faster these days
19:24:02 <b_jonas> like extra bits or strange representations to make it more vectorizable
19:24:17 <int-e> like fourier transformations?
19:25:07 <b_jonas> I mean that thing where they put a binary number in like base 2**30 but put each digit in 32-bit words to somehow avoid cascading carries
19:25:11 <b_jonas> or something tricky like that
19:25:28 <b_jonas> the fourier transforms help for really large numbers
19:25:47 <b_jonas> but in the zeckendorf representation the problem is that carries in an addition go both way: down and up
19:25:54 <b_jonas> and can cascade both ways or something
19:26:21 <b_jonas> so I can't even prove how to add in guaranteed linear time
19:26:48 <int-e> another problem is that it's not particularly easy to multiply two fibonacci numbers, as far as I can see
19:27:03 <b_jonas> int-e: you don't have to directly multiply
19:27:28 <b_jonas> int-e: you have to generate the sequence of multiplies of one factor by successive fibonacci numbers
19:27:32 <b_jonas> which you can do by repeated additions
19:27:52 <b_jonas> like, you know, when you implement multiply in a language that doesn't allow accessing bits, but only does add/subtract/compare
19:28:02 <b_jonas> you can implement multiply and even divide in binary on such a system
19:29:10 <b_jonas> my zeckendorf add code is in http://www.perlmonks.com/?node_id=989716 in case you care
19:29:52 <b_jonas> but that only implements the addition in zeckendorf, and then binary built on that

20:37:11 <boily> to know if you could walk up to ais523's residence and extirpate the aforesaid compiler from him.
20:37:26 <ais523> boily: I did say I was planning to give it voluntary
20:37:28 <boily> (that, and I opportunisted the occasion of asking you the The Question.)
20:37:52 <boily> boring. I could have wrote mroman_'s epic compiler fetch quest!
21:05:38 <mroman_> are you trying to make fun of my lack of english skills
21:06:46 <mroman_> you could have gone with wipe out, eradicate or extermine
21:07:11 <mroman_> extirpate doesn't even look like an english word
21:09:27 <mroman_> There's even superexcrescently
21:09:33 -!- muskrat has joined.
21:10:40 <boily> far from it. I just like to butcher the English language myself.
21:10:52 <ais523> extirpate is real, although rarely used
21:10:57 <metasepia> extirpate definition: to destroy completely.
21:11:04 <boily> darn. and there I was hoping it wouldn't be one.

21:12:06 <boily> I want to invent a word that doesn't exist, dammit!
21:12:11 <metasepia> INTERCAL is an esoteric programming language that was created as a parody by Don Woods and James M. Lyon, two Princeton University students, in 1972.

21:12:31 <ais523> ("INTERCAL" is my standard search query for testing search engines, btw)
21:12:52 <metasepia> SNOBOL (StriNg Oriented and symBOlic Language) is a series of computer programming languages developed between 1962 and 1967 at AT&T Bell Laboratories by David J. Farber, Ralph E. Griswold and Ivan P. Polonsky, culminating in SNOBOL4.
21:13:06 <Bike> ~duck strongtalk
21:13:06 <metasepia> Strongtalk is a Smalltalk environment with optional static typing support.

21:13:29 <int-e> (I believe that the INTERCAL manual is the only place where I've encountered SNOBOL)
21:14:18 <Bike> snobol's funny. the string concatenation operator is a space, the regular expressions are actually CFGs, and every line has a goto included.
21:14:32 <Bike> ~duck chordate
21:14:33 <int-e> ~duck onomatopoeia
21:14:33 <metasepia> onomatopoeia definition: the naming of a thing or action by a vocal imitation of the sound associated with it (as '''buzz, hiss''').
21:14:51 <Bike> boily: your bot's knowledge of phylogenic systematics is worryingly low.
21:15:15 <int-e> ~duck hylomorphism
21:15:16 <metasepia> Hylomorphism is a philosophical theory developed by Aristotle, which conceives substance as a compound of matter and form.
21:15:28 <Bike> ~duck entelechy
21:15:28 <metasepia> In the philosophy of Aristotle, the condition of a thing whose essence is fully realized; actuality.

21:20:28 <Bike> no i just mean, is it turning up sexual chordates or something.
21:20:59 <boily> hot sexual chordate on protozoan action...
21:21:46 <boily> Bike: incidentally, yes, safe search is on. wouldn't want to make this chännel perverteder anymore than what it is.
21:22:25 <Bike> protozoa are hardly monophyletic
21:23:59 <metasepia> Protozoa are a diverse group of unicellular eukaryotic organisms, many of which are motile.
