02:21:10 <izabera> challenge: write a program that prints a regex that matches the program's source code, but not the program's code with any two characters swapped
02:33:04 <ais523> izabera: you could cheat by making it an almost-quine which replaced one character with . in the output
02:33:35 <ais523> actually I thought you were going to say "write a program that works with any two characters swapped"
02:33:56 <ais523> but that's trivial in any language which has single-character comments, as you can just alternate comment characters and code
02:36:38 -!- variable has joined.
02:43:12 <oren> ais523: doesn't that assume the characters to be swapped are adjacent?
02:43:40 <ais523> that's what I assumed reading izabera's sentence
02:43:44 <ais523> but it doesn't actually say that
02:44:23 <ais523> /any/ two characters would be much harder, because you can swap the opening and closing delimiter of something that has opening and closing delimiters (or if they're multiple characters, corrupt one but not the other)
02:44:25 <izabera> would it be easier if they can only be adjacent?
02:44:35 -!- perrier has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
02:45:05 <ais523> I can write this program in Unary
02:45:11 <ais523> not that I'd /want/ to, but I could
02:45:15 <ais523> http://esolangs.org/wiki/Unary
02:45:27 <ais523> err, unless you allow swapping two identical characters
02:45:34 <ais523> in which case all the characters in the program have to be distinct
02:45:49 -!- perrier has joined.
02:45:52 <ais523> which is a pretty big description as-is
02:45:53 <izabera> still, printing the regex thingy isn't so easy i guess
02:46:16 <oren> perrier: like the mineral water company?
02:46:18 <ais523> if there's any language with a one-character command that isn't . and prints .
02:47:18 <oren> heh, i like it
02:48:25 <oren> it doesnt match the frobbed strings because there are no such strings... the best kind of truth

09:58:10 -!- aloril has joined.
09:59:16 <ais523> it's basically just another language in the APL family
09:59:22 <ais523> but the APL family is generally downright weird
09:59:33 <ais523> it's probably too large and generally used by now to be an esolang, though (this is a low bar)
10:00:15 <Jafet> J is merely obscure. Esoteric is, like, compiling brainfuck to bourne again shell script
10:01:34 <ais523> isn't that also pretty easy?
10:01:42 <ais523> slightly harder if you want infinite memory
10:03:48 <Taneb> Has anyone written an Underload to brainfuck compiler?
10:04:18 <ais523> there's an Underload-in-brainfuck interpreter
10:04:24 <ais523> you could make that into a compiler via bundling
10:04:40 <ais523> not sure if you can do much better than bundling because brainfuck isn't exactly very good at dynamically allocated memory
10:04:54 <ais523> meaning that there are going to be considerable interp-like structures in the output no matter what
10:06:30 <Taneb> How about the other way round (sans input, of course)
10:06:55 <Jafet> Has underload been compiled to any language that was created before it
10:07:22 <Jafet> Ok, there's a reduction to a counter machine
10:07:45 <Taneb> Jafet, I believe it compiles to a bunch of similarish languages (eg FALSE) pretty easily
10:09:22 <ais523> Taneb: brainfuck-in-Underload is probably easier, I don't know if it's been done
10:09:32 <ais523> I can see how to do it, at least
10:09:40 <ais523> the standard Underload programming tricks work, no reason to do anything fancy
10:19:26 -!- boily has joined.
10:19:30 <oerjan> Taneb: last i checked (after the :()^ discovery) FALSE has enough features for an easy TC subset of Underload, but not for the a and * commands.
10:20:10 <oerjan> i.e. you have lambdas but you cannot generate new ones that are not in the program
10:21:15 <Taneb> I was thinking of http://esolangs.org/wiki/User:Zzo38#dc.2FFALSE.2FUnderload.2FTeXnicard
10:22:06 <oerjan> oh zzo38 claims it has *
10:23:42 <oerjan> ais523: i made brainfuck in Fueue, apart from I/O underload cannot possibly be harder
10:24:14 <ais523> oerjan: brainfuck-in-Underload is pretty easy in the EsoInterpreters stakes
10:24:19 <ais523> this may be why nobody has bothered
10:24:38 <ais523> I'll do a brainfuck-in-Underlambda at some point, that'll trivially compile into Underload minus S plus I/O extensions
10:26:46 <oerjan> hm emmental is younger than underload
10:27:07 <oerjan> oh there's obviously underload in funge-98, right fungot
10:27:07 <fungot> oerjan: the most common one?
10:27:20 <oerjan> fungot: indeed it may well be the most commonly used
10:27:20 <fungot> oerjan: or any words synonymous thereto? cool! what was the name of
10:27:42 <oerjan> although, that's also an interpreter, not a compiler
10:28:38 <ais523> is Underload newer or older than Thutu?
10:29:06 <oerjan> underload 2006, thutu (and emmental) 2007
10:31:46 <ais523> or well, Underload is much older than that if you count Overload
10:31:59 <ais523> dates back to my early days as an undergraduate
10:32:08 <ais523> which would have been 2006, possibly even 2005
10:34:42 <Taneb> ais523, did I start making esolangs at a younger age than you?
10:34:51 <ais523> probably, I'd have been 18
10:35:01 <ais523> unless you count things like the noughts and crosses impl in MS Paint
10:35:04 <ais523> which came rather earlier
10:35:39 <Taneb> (my birthday's in November)
10:35:58 <Taneb> That is, if you don't count the spec I wrote for an Ook derivative, which I never published

10:38:56 <Taneb> And the keyword "Eek"
10:39:05 <Jafet> That sounds bananas

10:41:55 <Taneb> Does anyone know a suitable speaker for a talk aimed at both maths students and computer science students?
10:42:48 <ais523> is the subject of the talk determined yet?
10:42:52 <ais523> if not, proof theory would seem like a good one
10:43:45 <Taneb> ais523, not determined, talking to the people in the maths society about it at 6
10:43:59 <Taneb> I was thinking cryptography or algorithms
10:44:00 <Jafet> Umm, maybe a Yamaha?
10:45:22 <Taneb> (despite being a joint-honours student who actually prefers the maths side of my degree, I have more friends in computer science and am involved in the computer science student society a lot more than the maths one)
10:46:48 <Jafet> Maybe the FFT convolution theorem.
10:47:29 <Taneb> Jafet, I don't know much about that
10:47:44 <Taneb> Also, the issue is more we need a presenter more than a topic
10:47:56 <Taneb> Preferably one based in the UK
10:49:24 <ais523> well, you'd want a presenter competent to speak on whatever topic you chose
10:50:06 <Taneb> I'd also like a not-completely-unheard-of presenter, so they'd draw an audience maybe

12:26:57 <Taneb> jayCampbell, your name sounds familiar, is there anywhere notable I'd have seen it?
12:27:48 <oerjan> there's a john campbell on the iwc forum iirc
12:28:11 <ais523> I remember the name from nomic, but am not sure if a) the nomic came first; b) the esolanging came first; or c) it's a misremembered memory and it's just esolanging
12:28:21 <oerjan> which is also the name of a notable guy
12:28:31 <jayCampbell> when did ehird win B with "commands are executed in the order they are received"
12:28:50 <ais523> jayCampbell: you are aware of what happened to B, right?
12:29:06 <jayCampbell> i probably lurked esolang first then nomic'd then registered at esolang
12:29:43 <jayCampbell> as i think about it, i'm into esolangs again this year because of nomic even though i haven't played in years
12:30:27 <ais523> jayCampbell: we discovered that the emergency rule stopped the timekeeping for the emergency rule, thus leading to an emergency that couldn't be resolved or ended
12:30:47 <jayCampbell> with AST under my belt i'm making another run at natural english
12:30:51 <ais523> in the end people created a new nomic from scratch, with the same name, on the same mailing list, but that was years later
12:31:09 <ais523> the previous apparent emergency was arguably an even more fitting end
12:31:17 <oerjan> surely they should have called the new one C nomic
12:31:21 <ais523> although one that's less fatal
12:31:22 <Taneb> jayCampbell, what sort of thing does a jayCampbell get up to?
12:31:35 <ais523> there were no refresh proposals, except one by Wooble to end the game
12:31:46 <ais523> Wooble was also the emergency coordinator, and instead of enacting eir own proposal
12:32:29 <ais523> the legal implications of that are kind-of mindboggling, nobody could figure out what was supposed to happen (and then it turned out it didn't)
12:33:58 <jayCampbell> lessee, day job is (they bought my start-up) remote worker management, next start-up is on alexa voice services for assisted living, current humanitarian thing is a new rights-for-youth org, current hobby code project is english parsing
12:35:00 <jayCampbell> is forfeiting even a legal game move during emergency
12:35:32 <jayCampbell> taneb, i actually needed to do that mental inventory
12:35:46 <Taneb> jayCampbell, you're welcome???
12:36:44 <ais523> <jayCampbell> is forfeiting even a legal game move during emergency ← many people consider it an important safeguard in nomic that you can forfeit no matter what, and that it trumps everything
12:37:11 <ais523> Agora doesn't quite share that view; it aims for similar protections, but implements them differently
12:37:30 <ais523> but I think B was strongly in the "a forfeit is always possible" camp
12:38:05 <jayCampbell> maybe we can convince wooble to pass the proposal
12:39:14 <ais523> jayCampbell: as I said, it never existed
12:39:24 <ais523> due to a much earlier emergency locking B in stasis forever
12:39:33 <ais523> most of what happened at B actually never happened, you got used to it after a while
12:40:00 <jayCampbell> i think there are several parallel universes going on
12:40:03 <Taneb> ais523, that seems comparable to Feather
12:40:29 <ais523> (similar, but less major, potential crisis at Agora atm; a bunch of proposals were submitted without adoption indices, which might have made them incapable of making any ruleset or gamestate changes)
12:40:42 <ais523> (and we only noticed quite recently)
12:42:23 <jayCampbell> parliamentary gridlock in the real world can be solved with pitchforks
12:42:59 <jayCampbell> wasn't B's tagline "this is not B nomic" for a long time?
12:43:47 <jayCampbell> my favorite day was when i was trying to get the graphic interface going for chess and some old-timer checkmated me while i wasn't paying attention
12:44:19 <jayCampbell> i set off my all pieces to move random directions and "turn the board" for next turn in a loop
12:44:31 <jayCampbell> because there were only punishment protections for such behavior
12:44:59 <jayCampbell> i automated that on a different nomic later, it was fun
12:45:14 <ais523> actually, I dislike behaviour where you're intentionally winning via violating the rules
12:45:28 <ais523> even if a punishment for breaking them is specified, I still consider the intentional break to be cheating
12:45:58 <ais523> if it's written in the form "you can do this, but you must suffer the penalty if you do", rather than "you can't do this, but if you try anyway, here's the penalty to get the game back on track" it's much more acceptable
12:46:01 <ais523> but nomics tend to use the latter
12:46:39 <jayCampbell> nomic was the source of my most heated disputes of the era
12:47:52 <jayCampbell> so i'm parsing english for a deterministic nomic
12:48:44 <Taneb> I would like to enjoy Nomic but I find it very hard to pay attention to
12:48:45 <ais523> english codenomic is an interesting idea
12:48:49 <ais523> I doubt it'll work, but it's interesting
12:49:36 <jayCampbell> ais, i'm in touch with a guy who built a self-compiling english .. the compiler, gui, editor is all in plain english
12:50:10 <jayCampbell> to me that was proof it's expressive enough
12:50:12 <ais523> that sounds appropriate for esolangs as it is
12:50:24 <ais523> the problem is not really being expressive, but rather tolerance of things outside the syntax
12:50:37 <jayCampbell> it won't parse novels but it's easy to program in .. no harder than following a magazine's style guide
12:50:41 <Taneb> http://esolangs.org/wiki/English
12:50:41 <ais523> COBOL is pretty expressive and pretty English-looking, but you couldn't feed it Agora's ruleset
12:50:57 <Taneb> jayCampbell, have you seen Inform 7? It's along those lines
12:51:16 <Taneb> (the language is meant to look like natural English)
12:51:37 <jayCampbell> ais523: you could port a large chunk of the rules
12:52:06 <jayCampbell> it's not going to read *all* english, only those that follow the grammar
12:53:10 <jayCampbell> to add a vote to a poll using a player name: increment the poll; add the player name to the poll's voted list.
12:54:29 <oerjan> i'm pretty sure we discussed a "plain english" language here at some point, and were not impressed.
12:55:28 <ais523> that's pretty tortured if interpreted as English
12:56:10 <jayCampbell> i had doubts too till i saw a compiler written in english
12:57:21 <ais523> it's basically just an alternate syntax for something that could be more simply expressed a different way, I fear
12:58:03 <jayCampbell> i may be the only person on earth that thinks this can work but that's cool
12:58:53 <jayCampbell> ais, people are afraid of programming symbols .. this is also a way to trick them into programming and debugging without those more concise syntaxes
13:00:03 <jayCampbell> and why the heck is /r/nomic private, who has that
13:00:18 <Taneb> Was it part of the recent reddit blowout?
13:01:07 <jayCampbell> no, it's been that way for at least a couple years
13:04:13 <oerjan> /r/nommit isn't private though
13:04:19 <oerjan> looks pretty dead, though
13:09:35 <jayCampbell> what the world really needs is a nomic written in http://snap.berkeley.edu/
13:12:22 <Taneb> Jeez, I remember when I cared about that programming language
13:12:37 <Taneb> That was why I learnt lambda calculus, in the beginning
13:25:47 <ais523> I learned it to understand Unlambda
13:25:57 <ais523> INTERCAL and Malbolge might have got me interested in esolanging
13:26:08 <ais523> but Unlambda was by far the most influential esolang on me, I think
13:28:43 <jayCampbell> for me it was bf derivatives then things like piet keep redefining the whole concept
13:29:10 <Taneb> Piet was the first programming language full stop that I learnt
13:32:16 <jayCampbell> can't imagine what people's first language experience will be like in 20 years
13:33:10 <Jafet> In 20 years, Taneb, not now.
13:33:25 <Taneb> Jafet, I maintain Python 2
13:34:30 <Jafet> I can't wait to see the mainframe designers who have to optimise for legacy python business logic in 20 years
13:34:47 <fizzie> fungot: Was Befunge your first esolang experience by default?
13:34:48 <fungot> fizzie: fnord sucks. what can i do it without symbols at all before it clears? another hard drive.
13:35:16 <Taneb> fizzie, I'd assume the first language fungot learnt would either be brainfuck or Underload
13:35:16 <fungot> Taneb: i am on fnord side of things, but i think i'd prefer the latter ordering, but i
13:35:31 <Taneb> fungot, because fnord sucks?
13:35:32 <fungot> Taneb: that was an excessive paste :-p well, i already did some coding today. :( right now i am off topic, but is this limitation of heap-size true? first takes the list as a separate entity
13:35:37 <fungot> Available: agora alice c64 ct darwin discworld enron europarl ff7 fisher fungot homestuck ic irc* iwcs jargon lovecraft nethack oots pa qwantz sms speeches ss wp youtube
13:36:08 <fizzie> Taneb: I guess that's a valid argument too. In that case, it would have been brainfuck.
13:37:54 <Jafet> You could try to write nomic rules in deontic logic; it would effectively be an esolang
