00:23:31 <oerjan> top of the night to you!
00:24:02 <shachaf> oerjan: shocking prediction: hel's vote will be in the direction of a tie hth
00:24:28 <oerjan> it _would_ be rather useless to show up otherwise
00:24:41 <shachaf> stories have so much selection bias :'(
00:24:50 <oerjan> my far out prediction obviously failed
00:25:15 <oerjan> now we may wonder what happens with a tie.
00:25:37 <oerjan> given they were an odd number without Hel, it's probably not common.
00:26:10 <shachaf> presumably the twelve gods run into that more frequently
00:26:21 <oerjan> another thought: we haven't seen belkar's body, which means by ancient trope we cannot assume he's dead yet.
00:27:00 <oerjan> perhaps he shows up in the next comic to get blasted into atoms
00:27:41 <oerjan> i guess there are atoms, given redcloak's chemisty knowledge
00:28:34 <oerjan> oots _does_ have pretty explicit narrative causality
00:28:57 <oerjan> so "selection bias" is not unexpected
00:31:08 <oerjan> shachaf: interestingly, they might have been in better shape if they _hadn't_ given veldrina a lift
00:31:34 <oerjan> because the western p. voted yes
00:32:38 <oerjan> although narrative causality would probably have messed up any attempt to make her get too late

00:33:22 <oerjan> my far out prediction btw was that hel _wanted_ a no result and would swing it that way
00:33:41 <oerjan> because it had a better chance of _total_ disaster
00:34:01 <shachaf> oerjan: how does chemistry work in olistworld anyway twh
00:34:21 <oerjan> shachaf: well you have titanium elementals...
00:34:42 <shachaf> 296 refers to an ideal gas
00:34:50 <shachaf> but maybe that's in the same spirit as "nuking from orbit"
00:34:56 <shachaf> presumably there's no orbit in oland?
00:34:58 <oren> and chlorine elementals

01:34:53 <izabera> challenge of the night: write a program that takes two strings and outputs a brainfuck program that replaces str1 with str2
01:42:29 <oren> jne means jump if ZF is 0
01:42:55 <oren> test sets ZF to 1 iff the two argumnets ANDed is 0

02:42:19 <zzo38> I found some webpage that tries to analyze your writing style and tell you what author you are writing like but it isn't very consistent and keep telling different answer. How would you classify my writing styles though?
02:42:46 <zzo38> (I pasted in several chapters from level20.tex and got many different answers.)
02:43:11 <izabera> same input same output, at least?
02:44:53 <zzo38> Yes, if the same input is given several times, it does give the same output each time too.
02:45:28 <izabera> are you a native english speaker?
02:45:58 <zzo38> Yes, but it is Canadian English
03:06:02 <mauris> zzo38: lots of your sentences are subtly ungrammatical, so your writing style is very recognizable to me.
03:08:23 <mauris> for example, in that line of yours, i think most english speakers would write: "tell you" -> "tells you", "keep telling different answer" -> "keeps telling different answers"; and consider your versions incorrect
03:11:57 <oren> i assumed that zzo38 was a second-generation immigrant, e.g. taught english by non-native speakers
03:15:48 <zzo38> No I was born in British Columbia and lived here all of my lifetime so far (although I have occasionally been to a few other places). Apparently they spoke to me in other languages too but now I forgot, and I speak and write English instead.
03:17:23 <oerjan> i don't think zzo38's grammar was wrong in that line; the "tries to" can scope over all the verbs, which means they can be infinitives
03:18:07 <mauris> oerjan, either way "*different answer" needs either an article or a plural though
03:18:08 <oerjan> the "tell" works, but not the "keep"
03:18:17 <mauris> but yeah, the "tell" does work!
03:18:43 <oren> Right, but your parents are from another country correct? You have a "residual accent".
03:19:41 <zzo38> My grandparents are from other countries
03:22:28 <oren> hmm, I haven't heard of an accent goig down three generations before. interesting
03:24:36 <oren> you tend to skip plurals and verb agreement basically
03:24:46 <mauris> i don't think zzo38's manner of writing is an ESL-related thing!
03:25:21 <oerjan> i don't want to assume too much
03:26:39 <oren> One of my friends' parents are from russia and because of that he has verb agreement and plurals, but he never puts in any articles when he talks
03:27:38 <oerjan> however, i've seen some evidence that zzo38's writing used to be a _lot_ weirder, years ago (before he came to this channel)
03:28:00 <oren> so basically zzo38 has a residue from a language with articles (or at least a similar distinction), but no verb agreement or plural?
03:28:47 <oerjan> his spelling used to be weird too, not any more
03:31:01 <mauris> zzo38: do you remember why you used to spell the way you did?
03:32:00 <zzo38> mauris: I don't know. But what I do know is that much of that stuff (whether or not it is spelled properly) is full of imposters or confusing someone with someone else, but not all of it is (some is authentic) and I do not know why; sorry.
03:32:41 <mauris> yeah, i always wondered if it was in error, or if you were advocating some kind of phonetic spelling of English
03:33:11 <zzo38> Well, sorry I just do not know! Although it is true that English has not very good spelling compared to other languages
03:33:22 <zzo38> If you have read my level20.tex and other stuff then how would it be called as the writing style I write with, compare to other author's writing, etc?
03:35:21 <mauris> zzo38: could you render the current level20.tex to pdf and upload it somewhere? i don't have a TeX renderer on hand, and reading raw .tex code is confusing sometimes :(
03:37:13 <zzo38> I could; I think this computer has dvi to pdf converter (it comes with TeX), so I will just put it in the same directory as the .tex and .dvi files I suppose.
03:39:39 <zzo38> OK, I have done that
03:40:09 <mauris> cool! can you link the file?
03:41:33 <zzo38> http://zzo38computer.org/dnd/recording/level20.tex the .dvi and .pdf are also in the same directory (if you want the source files, you also need dungeonsrecording.tex in the same directory)
03:43:40 <zzo38> (There is also level20.trope in the same directory, although it may not be very good; it and the corresponding All The Tropes article could both be improved; actually level20.tex itself could even be improved too)
03:44:10 <mauris> i can't help but wonder how to pronounce Iuckqlwviv Kjugobe
03:46:09 <zzo38> I don't know either, but I tried anyways and can do nearly approximately. (Note that this is mentioned in the tropes article/RDF too)

05:00:23 <zzo38> Is it possible to make blinking text with CSS animations? And then I could add a global CSS rule to fix the <BLINK> command?
05:09:03 <Sgeo> This architecture has a 16-bit A (used for memory addresses and loading constants) register. The instruction set allows for setting A directly with 15-bit numbers (16-bit instruction set, MSB=0 means put the rest of the instruction into A), and memory chips in this have 14-bit addresses (I think)
05:10:51 <Sgeo> Haven't actually assembled CPU so maybe they'll surprise me and use two RAM16Ks, but it would have been easier to build a RAM32K (which I'm not being asked to do)
05:12:54 <zzo38> What instruction set is that?
05:14:49 <Sgeo> The Hack CPU defined by The Elements of Computing Systems, http://nand2tetris.org/chapters/chapter%2004.pdf
05:15:06 <Sgeo> Start reading from 4.2.2
05:15:23 <Sgeo> page 8 of the PDF

06:33:55 <int-e> Every day, but he has a fairly unpredictable sleep schedule.
06:34:20 <int-e> he was there 3 hours ago
06:34:52 <stalem> 3 hrs ago? is he a bat?

07:40:15 <zzo38> Anyone who want to use also can easily customize the blinking speed, currently it is set to 1 second

15:15:06 <oerjan> that was more for, "returns back to the same eventually"
15:15:25 <stalem> yeah that much i know it does, but iirc they were called oscillators
15:15:44 <stalem> imho that would be a program that generates a program that eventually generates the original program (a cool idea btw)
15:16:23 <oerjan> iterated quines are a thing
15:16:59 <stalem> i see. well in any case i meant a sequence that doesn't change from step to step. an unmodified yet modified sequence
15:17:56 <stalem> by iterated quines, do you mean code that generates sources in other languages which eventually comes back or does just using one language count?
15:18:14 <oerjan> i think one language counts, although polyglots are cooler...

18:02:37 <zzo38> OK. What idea is it?
18:03:29 <Typical> to have only one symbol, count symbols, convert from unary to binary and do something like chicken
18:03:38 <Typical> but i saw this page um wait
18:03:47 <Typical> this http://esolangs.org/wiki/OISC
18:04:11 <Typical> but it was unclear for me and i dont know if its the same or not
18:06:16 <zzo38> I think it is not the same
18:06:46 <zzo38> OISC is a instruction set with one instruction (usually with one or more operands), but what you describe is different
18:07:42 <Typical> thanks, so i will try to write what i described

18:24:17 <Typical> to prevent stealing my probably not that awesome idea
18:24:21 <quintopia> Please do not write a clone of Unary. Or Ook. Or AAAAAAA!!! or whatever. Make yours stand out somehow.
18:25:23 <Typical> i have to check what is unary
18:26:57 <Typical> nooooooo, its i as i guessed before before
18:28:40 <Typical> someone invented my idea before

18:36:52 <Typical> not everything has been done before but most of the things that i can and want have
18:38:03 <quintopia> did you look at the list of ideas? none of them interest you?
18:49:34 <Typical> could you tell me where i can find this list?
18:52:24 <quintopia> there is a link on the wiki's front page

20:33:36 <zzo38> How to make a break signal with xterm?
20:34:00 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined.
20:34:28 <ais523> zzo38: I'm not convinced that a pseudoterminal, which is how xterm implements its terminal, has a break signal
20:34:39 <ais523> the ioctl says that it only works on a serial terminal
20:34:56 <ais523> however, by default the terminal settings are set up so that a break sends SIGINT and control-C also sends SIGINT
20:35:10 <ais523> so if the terminal configuration is at its default, pressing control-C will do the same thing as a break
20:37:05 <zzo38> I am using a program that I have to change it though
20:45:19 <HackEgo> [wiki] [[Talk:Pb]] N http://esolangs.org/w/index.php?oldid=43850 * Rdebath * (+328) /* Visibility as it's running. */ new section
20:46:47 <zzo38> Actually I fixed my program now
20:47:08 <zzo38> But still why it shouldn't be allow with pseudoterminals?
20:48:13 <ais523> zzo38: it's because a break is basically the name for mis-encoded data on a serial wire
20:48:24 <ais523> so according to the ioctl docs, it only works on serial terminals
20:48:41 <ais523> it doesn't work on the ctrl-alt-f1 terminal or pseudoterminals, because those aren't using serial communications internally, and so can't have misencoded data

21:05:56 <zzo38> It looks to me that all features of Z-machine other than sounds and joystick can be implemented using xterm and termios functions; even some of the functions of xterm would help much with it; but many of these are newer features of xterm than had existed in Infocom's times (did xterm even exist at all in their time?)

23:02:04 <shachaf> when's the new olist coming out
23:02:25 <boily> as in, the list itself is changing?
23:03:02 <oerjan> shachaf: did you get 999 twh
23:04:00 <fizzie> `run perl -MData::Dumper -e 'print Dumper([ "" =~ /()|()/g ]);' # it makes perfect sense, but somehow I wasn't expecting it
23:04:37 <oerjan> fizzie: annoying, isn't it?
23:05:03 <shachaf> oerjan: have you forgotten my shocking prediction
23:05:25 <boily> fizziello. what does that perl do?
23:06:13 <oerjan> fizzie: what you need to do is implement a command so anyone can make HackEgo rejoin twh
23:06:30 -!- HackEgo has joined.
23:06:47 <shachaf> what you need to do is implement a command so anyone can run arbitrary code as root on the machine HackEgo is running on twh
23:07:01 <fizzie> `run perl -MData::Dumper -e 'print Dumper([ "" =~ /()|()/g ]);'
23:07:05 <HackEgo> $VAR1 = [ \ '', \ undef \ ];
23:07:19 <fizzie> I mean, it couldn't be anything else. But I still somehow expected both to be ''.
23:07:21 -!- _256Q has left ("Leaving").
23:07:55 <shachaf> I don't know enough Perl to know the meaning here.
23:08:30 <oerjan> more shocking prediction: the tie causes all the gods to start fighting, creating a new rift that swallows belkar hth
23:10:14 <oerjan> most shocking prediction: rich burlew ends oots next strip.
23:10:29 <oerjan> "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T EXPECT IT"
23:11:06 <oerjan> "I GOT THE IDEA FROM MY FRIEND TAILSTEAK"
23:11:20 <fizzie> shachaf: It's just saying that matching ()|() to an empty string and then asking for the captured groups gives an empty string for the first group, and an undef for the second.
23:11:48 <shachaf> http://rlv.zcache.co.uk/svc/view?design=a9643add-8fab-453e-b62d-7a38397bd220&max_dim=512
23:12:22 <oerjan> yep, that's clearly the kind of tie being gone for here
23:13:13 <shachaf> fizzie: OK, so that's like matchin "a" with /^(a)|(a)$/ ?
23:13:33 <shachaf> Or is it only surprising with empty strings?
23:15:05 <shachaf> oerjan: well, we already got a happy ending
23:15:24 <shachaf> oerjan: so at this point olist is superfluous
23:15:44 * oerjan suddenly realizes two of the webcomics he follows are drawn by richs
23:15:47 <shachaf> not merely fluous like it was before 887
23:16:08 -!- Patashu has joined.
23:16:18 <oerjan> shachaf: are there any oracle predictions not fulfilled yet...
23:16:38 <shachaf> oerjan: but how many of them got >$1e7 for their comics
23:18:20 <fizzie> shachaf: It only surprised me with empty strings, because I was expecting the unmatched groups to return empty strings.
23:25:21 <oerjan> does the place they're in now count as durkon's dwarven homelands? if not, that part hasn't been fulfilled.
23:25:41 <oerjan> he's posthumous, but in the wrong place.
23:28:14 <shachaf> oerjan: there was also that other prophecy
23:28:53 <ais523> shachaf: the one about belkar
23:29:03 <ais523> hasn't been fulfilled on-camera yet
23:29:12 <ais523> and elan's happy ending cannot happen until the end, by definition
23:29:25 <shachaf> ais523: We've already had a happy ending.
23:29:35 <ais523> shachaf: I don't think that one counts
23:29:46 <shachaf> ais523: It's titled "Happy Ending"
23:29:58 <shachaf> Anyway, I was talking about the prophecy where Durkon "would bring death and destruction upon his people"
23:30:02 <ais523> shachaf: that one definitely doesn't count, because (spoilers) it didn't actually happen
23:30:14 <ais523> shachaf: that one wasn't an oracle prophecy
23:30:18 <shachaf> ais523: It happened from Elan's perspective.
23:30:32 <ais523> no it didn't, in fact Elan realised it wasn't real
23:30:33 <shachaf> ais523: Oh, right, oerjan did specify "oracle".
23:30:41 <HackEgo> [wiki] [[User:Vioz-]] N http://esolangs.org/w/index.php?oldid=43855 * Vioz- * (+111) Created page with "I'm a guy who enjoys code golfing. [http://codegolf.stackexchange.com/users/38417/vioz Here's my PPCG profile]."
23:30:49 <shachaf> None of this comic strip is real.
23:31:07 <ais523> i.e. wasn't real from an in-story perspective
23:31:31 <shachaf> It was real from the perspective of Elan. Later he realized that it wasn't "real" from outside the phantasm, but he still experienced it.
23:31:42 <shachaf> He got everything he wanted.
23:32:10 <shachaf> I don't really buy the whole "real" and "not real" business.
23:33:23 <shachaf> Smullyan talks about this in one of his books. I think _5000 B.C._
