02:00:05 <fungot> kmc: i'll just detour that... which would become fnord which would usually be otherwise impossible
02:18:13 <Sgeo> I own a Vorapede.
02:18:28 <Sgeo> Not worth very much despite being a mythic rare
02:18:45 <kmc> ...foot eater?
02:19:27 <Sgeo> Looks a bit big to be a foot eater
02:20:03 <Sgeo> Like it would rather eat a whole person than a foot
02:20:15 <Sgeo> http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=262850
02:21:03 <Bike> maybe it eats with its feet
02:21:30 <Bike> basically looks like a giant snail right
02:22:12 <Sgeo> So yeah, considering playing Draft at FNMs
02:23:05 <shachaf> Sgeo: 5 for a 5/4 vigilance trample that becomes a 6/5 vigilance trample is not that bad, is it?
02:23:30 <Sgeo> shachaf: no, but according to comments in Gatherer, there are other cards that outshine it
02:24:43 <Sgeo> Apparently all Planeswalkers are mythic rares, which makes me sad
02:26:39 <shachaf> Sgeo: whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. those other cards are too good
02:28:09 <shachaf> (Kalonian Hydra is also too good)
02:32:17 <Sgeo> That's blatantly too good... 3.5 stars why?
02:44:43 <Sgeo> I understand that basic lands are colorless, but... is there any good flavor reason for that?
02:49:27 <kmc> i want a card whose effect is "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously"
02:49:36 <Bike> you've seen Drive, as i remember/away
02:50:15 <shachaf> is that Bike pressing ↑ before typing /away
02:51:00 <Bike> i don't know what that was
02:52:30 <shachaf> Sgeo: your job is to find a card that provides some sort of negative effect to your opponent for putting jams on their creatres
02:52:46 <Bike> well, i mean, i was recommending movies, but not here
02:52:54 <Bike> though Drive is a good movie. just, public announcement
02:54:02 <shachaf> maybe i should use Drive. i have all this storage space now
02:54:28 <shachaf> Bike: is Anastasia (1956 film) a good movie
02:54:50 <Bike> haven't seen it, don't know
03:11:47 <Sgeo> The only thing I think people dislike Kindle for over Nooks etc. is the DRM policies
03:12:55 <Sgeo> "However if you use the Send to Kindle function to put your mobi books in the Amazon Cloud then DL to the iPad from the Cloud they will easily sync highlights, bookmarks, notes, etc. with the same mobi book on other Kindles and Kindle apps. "
03:18:35 <Sgeo> I already bought it
03:19:39 <Sgeo> Send to Kindle sounds really fun, and I remember regretting that the Nook didn't have it when I got the Nook
03:25:51 -!- zzo38 has joined.
04:02:24 <Sgeo> The Nook is worse DRMed in a way that's more important to me: Apparently it's tricky to retrieve notes and hilights

05:25:37 <zzo38> Wizards of the Coast didn't like the Elo system and replaced it with the "Planeswalker Points" system, which is a terrible system.
05:27:19 <shachaf> zzo38: why all the castling questions
05:27:36 <Bike> darn i thought you were being objective.
05:28:46 <shachaf> Chester came to school and said, / "Durn, I growed another head." / Teacher said, "It's time you knowed / The word is 'grew' instead of 'growed'"
05:29:30 <zzo38> shachaf: I once read about castling to put opponent in check, and even once did so myself, but haven't seen a castling move where it makes opponent checkmated, but am curious to know how common such things are. I did see once a game involving misinterpretations of older rules where castling with a promoted pawn is a checkmating move.
05:31:36 <Bike> promoting a pawn to rook and then castling with it?

05:40:53 -!- tromp has quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds).
05:47:09 <Bike> so how could you do it with a promoted pawn
05:48:07 <kmc> "An exception is seen in the British Museum's collection of the medieval Lewis chess pieces in which the rooks appear as stern warders or wild-eyed Berzerker warriors."
05:48:33 <zzo38> It isn't actually allowed, but due to older rules some people thought it would be allowed; king goes to King's 3 and rook goes to King's 2, and notation O-O-O-O-O-O.

06:07:44 <kmc> it's weird that the maglev speed record is only 6.2 km/hr more than the conventional rail speed record

06:09:41 <quintopia> there haven't been many maglev trains
06:09:56 <Sgeo> shachaf: what if I want to castle as an interrupt?
06:10:04 <kmc> quintopia: indeed
06:10:27 <Sgeo> I think interrupts are more flavorful... I mean, how odd is it that if I cast A, and opponent casts B in response, B takes less time than A?
06:12:50 <kmc> and conventional rail technology has more than 200 years of refinement and mass worldwide deployment
06:15:36 <zzo38> I like it without the interrupts though
06:15:58 <zzo38> I don't care so much about "flavorful"
06:16:36 <kmc> Sgeo: a wizard did it

14:31:14 <oerjan> someone asked wtf was up if you tried to click random page in that
14:31:32 <oerjan> answer: that's what a wiki turns out like if no one bothers to delete spam _ever_.
14:32:30 <oerjan> except on the publically facing pages, presumably.
14:33:01 <oerjan> behold https://complexityzoo.uwaterloo.ca/index.php?title=Special:AllPages&from=1000.000000Ree_Online_Facebook_Of_Sex_In_Australia_New_Zealand&to=Events_In_Cape_Town_Reviews_Tips
14:34:23 <FreeFull> oerjan: I made an account because I wanted to get rid of the spam, but I'm not sure hwo
14:34:37 <FreeFull> You can just press the "random article" button and get spam
14:35:02 <oerjan> FreeFull: well given they're all spam-titled articles, you really need admin powers to delete properly.
14:35:36 <oerjan> you could blank them, but that doesn't really help with random article
14:36:44 <oerjan> and all the spam is too old to show up in recent changes.
14:37:21 <int-e> chessbase makes me so angry sometimes. http://en.chessbase.com/post/a-new-challenging-chess-variant - who is this guy and why does chessbase give him a platform for his so-called "research"?
14:37:22 <oerjan> in fact the reason i noticed you was because you're one of the few things happening in the last month.
14:40:45 <oerjan> FreeFull: given the way the wiki is structured, a script to delete all orphan pages might work...
14:43:14 <oerjan> callforjudgement: oh i hit an actual non-spam page on that wiki. i think i may have invented a variant of your brainfuck derivative/self-made game
14:43:44 <callforjudgement> can you get admin rights and just delete the spam pages as you hit them?
14:43:46 <int-e> what are you doing? visiting "random pages"?
14:44:08 <callforjudgement> on Esolang, you hit random page, score 1 negative point for each BF derivative, stop when you reach a language you made yourself
14:44:09 <oerjan> callforjudgement: i'm not even registered there, so i doubt they'd trust me.
14:44:22 <int-e> (I've found that the wiki works fine if you use the dedicated index pages)
14:44:44 <int-e> (the complexity zoo one)
14:45:07 <oerjan> it's a very low-volume wiki otherwise, so presumably there's no admin with actual time for spam maintenance.
14:45:10 <int-e> callforjudgement: how close do I have to get to -\infty before I'm allowed to stop?
14:45:34 <callforjudgement> int-e: if you have trouble stopping, you go create some more non-BF-deriv esolangs
14:46:54 <oerjan> oh wait deleting orphans won't work, the real page i hit was one.

15:57:49 <myname> Taneb: what if you made a bf derivate? do you stop? do you score -1? both?
15:58:18 <myname> wouldn't it be best to make the whole wiki full of bf derivates to get better scores?
15:59:24 <myname> you are more likely to stop while others are more likely to get -1
16:02:19 <FireFly> pretty sure being a BF derivative should have precedence

19:37:55 <quintopia> Taneb: it's explained on gregor's bfjoust hill page
19:38:32 <quintopia> the short answer is "it's kind of stupid"

21:26:11 <oerjan> gah i hate that pdfs on github won't open in the browser
21:26:24 <tromp> you must pick the raw version
21:26:32 <oerjan> i _did_ pick the raw version.
21:26:35 <tromp> or i must figure out how to publish them on github pages
21:27:02 <oerjan> it insists on opening it outside, which means the awful metro interface.
21:27:06 <tromp> oh, i never unsdersood why some pdfs are downloaded and other are shown in browser
21:27:29 <tromp> btw, i'm rewriting the paper as we speak
21:27:42 <tromp> expect a new version in 5 mins
21:30:29 <Phantom_Hoover> <tromp> oh, i never unsdersood why some pdfs are downloaded and other are shown in browser
21:30:39 <FireFly> I'm guessing the 'raw' feature sends the file as application/octet-stream

21:46:40 * oerjan increase paste_detect_time to 10msecs
21:52:30 <zzo38> What does paste_detect_time mean?
21:53:00 <zzo38> Phantom_Hoover: You can cause it to display the text by adding "view-source:" at the beginning of the URL.
21:53:36 <Taneb> It's actually pretty simple
21:53:54 <oerjan> zzo38: how long irssi waits after a line before deciding it's not part of a larger paste
21:54:07 <Taneb> Essentially "iterate (\(a,b) -> (b, a+b)) (0,1)"
21:55:24 <FireFly> If only terminal emulators and shell applications would support bracketed-paste...
21:57:14 <lambdabot> (Functor f, Profunctor p1, Swapped p) => p1 (p b a) (f (p d c)) -> p1 (p a b) (f (p c d))
21:57:18 <FireFly> Oh hey, weechat supports bracketed-paste if one enables an option
21:57:46 <Taneb> Oh man, I forgot about swapped
21:58:01 <oerjan> i thought it sounded like something you might have used
21:58:35 <zzo38> oerjan: What does it do with such a decision?
21:58:57 <zzo38> FireFly: What does bracketed-paste mean?
21:59:18 <FireFly> It's a terminal mode where pastes are prefixed and suffixed by escape sequences
21:59:59 <FireFly> Which would be useful if it was actually a thing, since it'd mean IRC clients and text editors wouldn't have to guess based on timing and heuristics if something was pasted or typed
22:00:24 <oerjan> zzo38: if it detects it's a paste, it will (1) warn you if it's many lines. (2) join wrapping lines if it looks like it has been copied from the irssi window.
22:00:46 <FireFly> http://www.xfree86.org/current/ctlseqs.html#Bracketed%20Paste%20Mode
22:00:55 <zzo38> What escape sequences? Is it the START OF TEXT and END OF TEXT control characters?
22:00:58 <oerjan> in particular, (2) failed for me above because it didn't detect it as a paste, which is why i increased it.
22:01:08 <FireFly> No, it's CSI-prefixed sequences
22:01:36 <FireFly> i.e. either ESC [ 200 ~ or \x9B 200 ~ depending on whether 7-bit or 8-bit CSI is set
22:02:26 <Slereah_> If I try to declare some variable in x86
22:02:28 <Slereah_> square2 dw 0x0064, 0x0064, 0x0016
22:04:36 <zzo38> Slereah_: What assembler and what program?
22:05:52 <zzo38> I do not know how to program in FASM.
22:06:19 <Slereah_> As soon as I put that declaration, bam
22:06:26 <Slereah_> It assembles fine, but it does not work
22:06:48 <zzo38> Are you crossing a segment boundary?
22:07:12 <Slereah_> It works without the declaration, and does not with it
22:07:26 <Slereah_> I don't think the assembler would put it in another segment
22:07:49 <zzo38> Move it to the end of the program.
22:08:14 <zzo38> Otherwise it try to execute them as instructions
22:09:05 <zzo38> The program has to start at 0x0100 which is also beginning of the file, and the part before that is a PSP (at least, in DOS this is how it works).
22:09:33 <Slereah_> Man I don't want a playstation in my program
22:10:12 <kmc> FireFly: does anybody use 8-bit CSI?
22:10:54 <FireFly> I think several terminal emulators support it
22:10:59 <zzo38> kmc: I think Linux accepts it?
22:11:13 <kmc> yeah but do any common programs send such sequences, I mean
22:11:20 <zzo38> I don't know of any.
22:11:31 <fizzie> Wouldn't that just depend on your terminfo entry?
22:11:36 <fizzie> (For many programs, anyway.)
22:12:07 <kmc> and in a UTF-8 terminal do you actually send \xC2 \x9B ?
22:12:48 <zzo38> That I don't know; I don't use the UTF-8 terminal mode.
22:12:56 <FireFly> I think a shell application has to send an escape sequence to tell the terminal to change to 8-bit CSI, or something
22:13:14 <FireFly> One benefit of using the 8-bit CSI would be to disambiguate it from <Esc>
22:13:29 <kmc> I think ECMA-48 codes are defined in terms of codepoints and not bytes for a Unicode terminal
22:13:31 <zzo38> I think the terminal emulator built-in to Linux automatically allows 8-bit CSI though
22:15:18 <kmc> Slereah_: you may have assembler directives like .text and .data that let you switch between code and data sections, and the assembler/linker will arrange for each of code and data to be contiguous in memory
22:15:34 <kmc> so that way you can declare your variables near where they will be used, rather than at the end of the file
22:16:44 <FireFly> Ah, http://www.vt100.net/docs/vt510-rm/S8C1T was the escape sequence I meant
22:16:57 <kmc> also important because memory for storing code isn't writeable on some platforms (like microcontrollers, or any OS enforcing that as a security measure)
22:18:18 <fizzie> FireFly: That's for terminal-to-host talk, though. I don't think you need to do that if it's the host sending 8-bit C1 control characters.
22:18:32 <fizzie> FireFly: (Just if you want the terminal to use them too.)
22:19:44 <FireFly> Yeah, that's probably true
22:20:03 <FireFly> the bracketed-paste case mentioned earlier would be terminal-to-host though
22:20:36 <fizzie> Right. (I wasn't reading at that point.)
22:21:08 <zzo38> How are interest rates calculated in case of leap years?
22:21:10 <fizzie> There was a thing that was using the 8-bit CSI that I came across the other year, but I've entirely forgotten what it was about.
22:33:02 <oerjan> zzo38: i very vaguely thought all months are treated as 30 days for the purpose
22:33:24 <fizzie> I believe there's a large number of different, incompatible conventions.
22:33:32 <fizzie> At least I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.
22:34:01 <fizzie> The 30/360 thing certainly is a thing that happens in some financial contexts, though.
22:34:13 <nortti> https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/t31/1655773_636614729738716_1020538943_o.jpg
22:34:34 <zzo38> I think the way it should be done is using a tropical year rather than a calendar year, and using signs instead of months. You would then adjust these results into actual business days based on the timezone.
22:34:55 <Bike> astrological signs?
22:35:10 <zzo38> (Such a thing is still out if 30/360 but not based on the calendar)
22:35:18 <zzo38> Bike: Yes. One sign = 30 degrees
22:35:28 <oerjan> nortti: very secure password
22:35:54 <fizzie> oerjan: It has lowercase letters, uppercase letters, digits AND a special character.
22:36:05 <fizzie> You couldn't ask for more.
22:41:06 <Slereah_> My worst enemy in assembly is bits of code I left around

22:53:33 -!- conehead has quit (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.).
22:57:07 <zzo38> Are there some programs to trace the program to figure out which codes won't ever be used?
23:00:43 <Bike> won't ever? isn't that a statically determinable property
23:01:10 <zzo38> Depending on the programming language it might be, I think.
23:01:20 <zzo38> (And depending on the program; sometimes it might not be)
23:02:10 <oerjan> Bike: like most things, it sometimes requires solving the halting problem.
23:02:26 <zzo38> Yes, that is what I meant, for the second thing.
23:02:57 <fizzie> Compilers certainly do dead code elimination; I'm sure there are some standalone analysis tools too. Though the "bits of code left around" problem probably involves code that actually does get executed, just shouldn't.
23:03:39 <zzo38> Also, if the program is already compiled, it is different, anyways.

23:17:27 <zzo38> Do you like orthogonal instruction sets?
23:25:54 <zzo38> I would think it is good idea to have instead of an immediate addressing mode, to use PC post-increment; and instead of a jump instruction just have a move to PC instruction.
23:27:03 <zzo38> Does any CPU instruction set actually have PHI instructions, or is that only used in compilers?

23:40:36 <zzo38> I do have an idea about how to implement a hardware PHI instruction: Make branch instructions to write the address of what would be next instruction as if it didn't branch to one register, and the actual next instruction address (regardless if it branch or not) to another register, and then the PHI instruction is a conditional move where the condition is both of these two mentioned registers have the same value.
