01:20:11 <tswett> You know, I think mouse buttons are a pretty crappy interface.
01:20:26 <tswett> What does a left click mean? It means "select this thing". Or maybe it means "activate this thing".
01:20:39 -!- bender| has joined.
01:21:14 <tswett> Double-click means "activate this thing". Or sometimes it's something that doesn't actually support double-clicking; then it means "activate this thing twice".
01:21:40 <tswett> And how about a click and drag? Ooh boy.
01:21:52 <tswett> Sometimes it means "move this thing". Sometimes it means "select all these things".
01:22:18 <tswett> What happens if you're in the middle of a click-and-drag, and you want to cancel it? Sometimes you can hit Escape, but not always.
01:22:35 <tswett> Or what if you want to do something else in the middle of the click-and-drag? Sucks to be you.
01:23:11 <tswett> Except that there are a lot of workarounds that things use in order to allow you to do that stuff.
01:23:53 <tswett> So, how do you scroll? You use the scroll wheel... unless you're clicking and dragging, in which case you move the mouse to the edge of the window.
01:24:08 -!- jaboja has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds).
01:26:23 <zzo38> I think keyboard is fine
01:26:23 <tswett> How do you switch to a different window? Click on its button in the task bar... unless you're clicking and dragging, in which case you *hover* over the button in the task bar.
01:26:26 <zzo38> I don't use mouse wheel
01:26:47 <zzo38> (I disabled the wheel, and instead just use it as a button)
01:26:48 <tswett> Likewise for opening up a folder in your file browser.
01:27:25 <zzo38> I think the mouse button function in xterm is reasonable
01:29:16 <tswett> Double-click on it, unless you're clicking and dragging, in which case you hover instead.
01:29:39 <tswett> Right-clicking almost always means "open up a menu for interacting with this thing". That's good.
01:29:43 <zzo38> Click and drag is what is worse
01:29:50 <tswett> Middle-clicking... arbitrary miscellaneous actions.
01:30:37 <tswett> Lemme make a list of mouse actions.
01:30:47 <zzo38> I prefer the way it work in UNIX, the Windows way isn't very good. In Athena widget set the scrollbar use left/right button to scroll by amount, middle button moves scroll to the clicked position, I think is a better way
01:31:23 <zzo38> You can also use SHIFT+PAGEUP and SHIFT+PAGEDOWN in xterm too, and SCROLL LOCK can be pushed to stop it from automatically scrolling
01:31:55 <zzo38> Which I think is a reasonable way; it is too bad that Firefox does not do these things.
01:34:27 <tswett> Select this; select up to here; activate this; pick this up; drop this; show me options for this; perform miscellaneous action on this.
01:35:06 <tswett> Ideally, there should also be "hang this", for when you have something picked up, and you want to do something else before dropping it.
01:35:28 <zzo38> Well, I don't like drag/drop, there are better ways
01:36:32 -!- tromp_ has joined.
01:37:05 <zzo38> For example, left button selects it and then you can push the middle button to put in something else

02:19:04 <hppavilion[1]> I have how you do functions down (function call PUSHes the current line index onto the stack then JMPs to the line that starts the function call, return POPs a value and CJMPs to that line)
02:19:35 <hppavilion[1]> So that's functions done, and I think even functional programming can be done with that if you do it right
02:20:01 <hppavilion[1]> Like, classes that can be created at runtime and manipulated and such
02:22:56 <lambdabot> Arrow a => a b c -> a b c' -> a b (c, c')
02:23:16 <hppavilion[1]> And I do realize that OO isn't classes necessarily (prototypes, duh), but it'd be nice to be able to do classy things
02:24:14 <oerjan> (not relevant to anything you were saying)
02:25:13 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: Do you have any idea how to implement classes- ones that can be thrown around and referenced anonymously and such (first class data, basically)- for a bytecode VM?
02:29:53 <zzo38> I found chrome://global/content/bindings/scrollbar.xml but am not quite sure what to do with that
02:31:09 <zzo38> My own designs of instruction set, the return from subroutine call is rather something like "POP PC"
02:33:47 <zzo38> And in QUACKVM the instruction to return from a subroutine call is "PUT ,,STACK"
02:37:30 <zzo38> In 6502 codes, one way to do computed jumps is by the "RTS trick"
02:42:10 -!- heroux has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds).
02:42:23 <oerjan> zzo38: that's just pushing the destination to the stack, then calling RTS, no?
02:43:41 -!- ais523 has joined.
02:44:28 <zzo38> oerjan: That is what it is yes, although the address pushed to stack is actually one less than the actual address
02:45:18 * ais523 thinks about the fact that "I'm here" is a tautology, and yet nonetheless a useful statement
02:46:40 <hppavilion[1]> ais523: I think you just disproved https://xkcd.com/703/ by counterexample
02:47:48 <hppavilion[1]> zzo38: How about the return from a coroutine call? Or a semicoroutine call?
02:47:53 <ais523> hppavilion[1]: re your lambdabot message, minsky machines have increment and decrement as their basic operations, and those don't get any more interesting when complex numbers are involved
02:48:04 -!- tromp_ has joined.
02:48:07 <hppavilion[1]> Speaking of which, are there any other kinds of routines besides sub and co (where sub is a co)
02:48:08 -!- Phantom__Hoover has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
02:48:17 <ais523> see. the way I make esolangs is
02:48:19 <ais523> you start with an idea
02:48:25 <ais523> then you follow that idea to its logical conclusion
02:48:40 <ais523> you don't add /anything/ that isn't a direct consequence of the idea unless it's needed to make the language usable for programming
02:48:43 <hppavilion[1]> ais523: I know, I know. I'm just programmed to spit out any ideas I have.
02:48:53 <ais523> note that this doesn't necessarily lead to a tarpit
02:49:06 <ais523> most of the commands in Underload are unnecessary in terms of compuational class
02:49:14 <ais523> but you need them in order to make the language work as designed
02:49:23 <ais523> (apart from arguably ~)
02:49:38 <hppavilion[1]> I just thought "Why don't I make a Minsky Machine-based language that is made to look real enough to trick people into using it?"
02:50:32 <hppavilion[1]> ais523: would "A bytecode VM based on graph manipulation" be a good idea to start with?
02:51:04 <ais523> I created an esolang sort-of like that, but started with "all data is stored in one graph"
02:51:11 <ais523> and came up with http://esolangs.org/wiki/Eodermdrome
02:51:44 <ais523> which may hold the record for the unimplemented language with the most failed attempts to implement it

03:07:25 <ais523> I don't recall everr having seen the impl
03:07:40 <ais523> did you ever test your eodermdrome program?
03:07:55 <oerjan> i haven't downloaded any interpreters myself
03:08:18 <oerjan> although i do recall someone on channel once saying that it worked
03:08:18 <hppavilion[1]> ais523: How does this look so far to you? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bSUafKLvBMVqv-tPeDj4rk51CtHoIuKCIZprPb0KBdg/edit?usp=sharing
03:08:36 <ais523> it's a google doc, I have to jump through huge hoops to read those
03:09:43 <oerjan> hm is that jason from foxtrot in that xkcd strip
03:10:10 <oerjan> (https://xkcd.com/703/)
03:12:02 <oerjan> explain xkcd seems to think so
03:12:55 <hppavilion[1]> ais523: Would a simple html-only (well, also a bit of CSS) webpage work?
03:13:23 <ais523> hppavilion[1]: simpe html-only would work fine
03:13:26 <shachaf> I thought of this as a joke word, but apparently it's a French word: https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/tautologue
03:13:26 -!- heroux has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
03:13:36 <zzo38> I expect HTML by itself would probably work, or even just plain text
03:13:45 <ais523> I basically have two problems: a) I have Google stuff blocked in my browser; b) I have lots of rich-content (including JS) blocked in my browser
03:13:56 <ais523> I have no problems reading HTML on the vast majority of sites though
03:14:11 <hppavilion[1]> zzo38: I like to arrange things into nice tables, which is a huge pain with plaintext (not THAT huge, but still not fun)
03:14:26 <zzo38> You probably don't even need CSS, although it can be used if necessary
03:15:01 <ais523> shachaf: partly because they're large enough to correlate a wide range of sites
03:15:20 <ais523> thus information they get from my web browsing is more valuable to them than the equivalent information would be for any other site
03:15:25 <ais523> and thus it costs me more to give it up
03:16:48 <zzo38> Usually the HTML <TABLE BORDER=1> command would work fine I expect
03:17:24 <ais523> hmm, is that even part of modern HTML versions?
03:17:44 <ais523> I have a feeling that the border attribute's meant to be specified using css rather than as an XML/SGML-like attribute
03:18:08 <zzo38> I have had no problem with it
03:18:45 <zzo38> This table is doing so: http://zzo38computer.org/mtg/cardfile.php?do=list
03:18:53 <shachaf> i,i <TABLE STYLE="BORDER: 1">
03:19:16 <ais523> shachaf: IIRC sadly it's not that simple :-(
03:19:30 <ais523> zzo38: most browsers understand all HTML versions including the really old ones
03:20:57 <zzo38> You can use CSS to specify details of the border, but if you just want a border then that is what the BORDER=1 is for, it specify to use the default border if there is no CSS (different browsers and users may have different preference and way to display the default border, so a correct color and width and so on would be chosen to fit with the other defaults)
03:23:06 <hppavilion[1]> ais523: I seem to have gone back into development before I'm sending it to you xD
03:23:27 <ais523> keep going until you've reached something you're happy with
03:23:39 <ais523> zzo38: I think the 1 is a number, not a boolean
03:23:46 <ais523> like, border=4 will often give a bigger border I think?
03:24:08 <hppavilion[1]> ais523: Should I give every node a single accumulator, or do you think that defeats the purpose?
03:24:22 <ais523> hppavilion[1]: I don't have enough context to understand the question
03:24:47 * hppavilion[1] hashes ais523's response to a boolean and treats "True" as yes and "False" as 0
03:25:52 <zzo38> It look it makes the outer border larger if you put high numbers, not the inner border?
03:26:28 <hppavilion[1]> I think I'll do a pointer-specific stack instead of node registers
03:26:45 <ais523> zzo38: "cellspacing" and "cellpadding" control the details of the inner borer
03:27:13 -!- heroux has joined.
03:28:02 <zzo38> You can ignore those and just use the default though, you can use CSS if you want more control over the table, but usually such thing is not needed
03:35:56 -!- tromp_ has joined.
03:36:39 <ais523> I think most websites do too much CSSing
03:38:23 <hppavilion[1]> ais523: Here's what I have so far: http://206.174.0.58/graph_vm
03:38:26 <zzo38> Yes I also think so
03:38:42 <hppavilion[1]> It could and will easily change when I realize that it has major flaws that make no sense
03:39:05 <zzo38> But, I have Stylish extension and can use to override the CSS of anything; if the webpage has no CSS already then I find it unnecessary to add some, but if there is some then usually it is wrong
03:41:27 <hppavilion[1]> The only form of conditional I have is FOLLOW, which does nothing if an edge doesn't exist xD. Probably useless, but it might just make Tarpit status
03:44:41 <hppavilion[1]> It's funny how me asking if I should remake the doc in HTML evolved into a discussion about the merits of CSS and stuff xD

04:01:27 <ais523> hppavilion[1]: you're using literals specified in the program for nodes, this means that the number of nodes you can have is limited by the size of the program

04:05:13 <hppavilion[1]> ais523: How about "AUTONEWND/PUSH", which creates a new node with the first available ID and pushes its ID onto the call stack?

04:10:47 -!- heroux has joined.
04:19:46 <ais523> right, that's more along the lines you should be thinking
04:19:58 <ais523> I'd probably get rid of any ability to specify numbers manually
04:20:06 <ais523> probably also the pointer
04:20:20 <ais523> and instead have a sort of stack machine where the stack hold nodes
04:20:27 <ais523> and you can perform operations like connect, disconnect, follow, etc. on them
04:20:42 <Sgeo> Well, I scared myself. My AV was scanning, and said it detected something, but wouldn't tell me what it was until the scan finished. Scan finished... it was the EICAR test file
04:27:38 <pikhq_> Congrats, your antivirus works.
04:30:13 <ais523> why did you have the EICAR test file anyway?
04:33:13 <tswett> I want there to be a language whose definition is an interpreter for it, written in it. The interpreter allows you to modify it.
04:34:02 <tswett> The language behaves as if it were being interpreted as an infinite stack of interpreters, each interpreter faster than the one below it, so that it actually does stuff in a finite amount of time.
04:35:56 <tswett> So... the language is defined as a self-modifying self-interpreter. An actual implementation of the language has to somehow determine the meaning of any modified version of the self-interpreter.
04:37:13 <Sgeo> ais523, I downloaded it at some point recently I guess.
04:37:21 <Sgeo> I do know I like downloading it, I'm not sure why
04:37:37 <ais523> it strikes me that that must be one of the hardest possible files to download

04:40:47 <pikhq_> Can confirm, literally just downloaded it and had the AV complain at me.
04:41:50 <tswett> Ooh, my client has "AV" kerned.
04:44:25 <hppavilion[1]> I found the text in wikipedia and saved it to a text file

04:45:24 <pikhq_> might be more reasonable
04:45:40 <pikhq_> ... Modulo that not being a valid URI. Curses.

04:47:07 <tswett> So maybe this "language" would be a cellular automaton designed to have a particularly small unit cell.
04:51:05 <tswett> And one of its states would "break" the unit cell, putting it into a state where it can ultimately be arbitrarily modified.
04:52:10 <FireFly> So now that people's logs contains that string, will they also be considered malware?
04:53:10 <zzo38> OK now I made a RDF parser in JavaScript
04:54:11 <zzo38> http://sprunge.us/jZTO
04:55:13 <tswett> ais523: you know what would be harder? That file, repeated to fill 800 terabytes.
04:55:37 <ais523> although not much harder, you'd probably download a generator or compressed archive
04:56:06 <ais523> I'm not saying you have to download the file directly
04:56:09 <tswett> Insert one random byte after each copy.
04:56:19 <tswett> And... make it 80 petabytes instead.
04:56:28 <ais523> you might as well have one copy of the file then 80 petabytes of random data
04:56:32 <ais523> to make it less compressible
04:56:53 <tswett> Now, a naive implementation of my CA, whenever you use the breaker state, would simply "zoom in", to produce a state that doesn't use the breaker state.
04:56:59 -!- tromp_ has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
04:57:28 <tswett> Which would, in theory, work perfectly well for programs which don't have infinite regression in how they use that state.
04:58:25 -!- heroux has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds).
05:04:23 <hppavilion[1]> ais523: Insert a random byte at a random location in each one
05:05:05 <tswett> Or... for each copy, randomly select one of the bytes and then pick a random value for it.
05:05:12 <tswett> Occasionally, it will randomly pick the correct value.
05:05:59 <hppavilion[1]> tswett: It'll have the correct string roughly 4294967296 times
05:06:38 <hppavilion[1]> tswett: So that means that the compression is- wait. We're looking into ways to make files LESS compressible. Why? Why are we doing this?
05:06:44 -!- Sgeo has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
05:06:50 <tswett> To make them more difficult to download.
05:08:18 <hppavilion[1]> tswett: I don't think your antivirus would even let you try to download an 800 TB file if it was competent
05:08:40 <hppavilion[1]> In fact, your COMPUTER wouldn't let you download it because LIMITATIONS OF THE LAWS OF PHYSICS
05:10:34 <tswett> At work, there's a "network drive" that's rather large.

05:11:42 <tswett> And now, once disk usage exceeds a certain amount, that bar turns red?
05:11:59 <tswett> On this network drive, that bar turned red because it only had 70 terabytes of free space left.
05:12:32 <hppavilion[1]> Microsoft, don't use percentages. It's not really scalable.
05:12:56 <hppavilion[1]> A yottabyte of free space on a 100 yottabyte drive is more than enough free space

07:17:23 <hppavilion[1]> If I set up a standard protocol for internal server communication between people who like /classic/ internet
07:17:46 <hppavilion[1]> Something that works in a terminal (or, for the client I made, a terminal-like GUI) and has custom external servers
07:18:12 <hppavilion[1]> Basically like a stripped-down website, coupled with a command line
07:19:12 <zzo38> See how the protocol is work first, and then people would decide.

08:04:07 <\oren\> hppavilion[1]: I think you're describing a BBS
08:04:36 <\oren\> BBS was like a website but you interacted with it directly with telnet
08:05:41 <zzo38> It still exists, and there are several software for hosting such, such as Synchronet
08:05:59 <\oren\> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletin_board_system
08:06:06 <hppavilion[1]> I think the thing I made is pretty cool. It's very versatile, at least in theory.
08:06:27 <hppavilion[1]> I'm going to see if I can trick anyone into hosting it and feeling like a 1337 h4xx0r
08:06:56 <zzo38> Originally Synchronet was only for telephone lines, but now it supports Telnet, Rlogin, SSH, Gopher, HTTP, and FTP, as well as telephone lines; it also now also supports JavaScript.
08:07:30 <zzo38> (Actually I believe it also supports SMTP, NNTP, and IRC as well.)
08:07:39 <zzo38> (And also FidoNet)
08:08:12 <hppavilion[1]> \oren\: A typical session in what I've made may look like this: http://pastebin.com/nQB3TaUp
08:13:53 <zzo38> I do not know if Synchronet supports ES6 yet, although they ought to make it to do so, and also to fix the API to work better with ES6 (for example to read a file into a ArrayBuffer).
08:14:27 <hppavilion[1]> The idea is that it's a personal server, something you leave hosted as a hobby and through which you disseminate information
08:15:01 <hppavilion[1]> Perhaps some blogging could be done on it- but, like, super awesome blogging because it's not a website, it's a terminal
08:15:29 <zzo38> Yes, although many programs can be run even just as a personal server that you can leave hosted as a hobby
08:16:29 <zzo38> Including real BBS servers, and gopher and HTTP servers (I know that someone runs a combination HTTP and gopher server that they wrote themself in BASIC)
08:16:43 <hppavilion[1]> zzo38: I want to make mine somehow special. Not sure how though xD

11:45:07 <fizzie> I... guess they want to delete an article they wrote?
11:48:21 <izabera> no they just wanted to blank the page
11:48:42 <fizzie> The first two edits added templates that don't exist on our wiki, but do on Wikipedia.
11:48:56 <fizzie> First being a "speedy deletion by author request", and the second some sort of generic delete template.
11:49:13 <fizzie> I'm guessing blanking the page was a fallback option.
12:14:01 <myname> crazy how you can make a bachelor thesis out of this
12:25:27 <fizzie> A "fit butt" bachelor's thesis, mind you.
12:26:12 <fizzie> "In this thesis, author discusses and analyzes design flaws of experimental programming language Brainfuck, for which he suggests solution in form of extension of original language. Then he formaly defines this extension and implements its interpret and debugger."
12:26:40 <fizzie> Sadly, it's in a language I don't read.
12:27:31 <Taneb> One of my friends challenged me to do my thesis on brainfuck, mostly so I could get away with writing fuck a lot in a master's thesis
12:27:35 <fizzie> One (of the four) references is to esolangs.org. :)

12:35:15 <Taneb> myname: what was your thesis on?
12:35:48 <myname> lexing of 2d languages
12:38:39 <fizzie> This thesis refers [1] the Aho, Ullman, Lam "Compilers" book; [2] Böhm, C., On a family of Turing machines and the related programming languages, [3] esolangs.org/wiki/Brainfuck, [4] Rosenberg and Saloma, Handbook of Formal Languages.
12:39:35 <myname> i am also not sure if i would÷ve called bf "experimental"
12:39:45 <fizzie> Or its properties "design flaws".
12:40:17 <fizzie> I'm slightly unsure whether it's appropriate to have Feeney, S. listed as the (sole) author of the Brainfuck article.
12:41:54 <fizzie> (That's graue, who did write the first revision, but it's got a number of contributors since.)
12:43:25 <Taneb> myname: interesting! Is it available on the internet to read?
12:43:44 <myname> Taneb: it is written in german :p
12:44:09 <Taneb> That sounds unfortunate for me, a monolingual, to read

19:27:13 <ais523> to be fair the republican side is more interesting because I can't believe any of them are electable
19:27:23 <fizzie> That sed was a complicated way to type cut -c 1-20.

19:32:11 <ais523> does paste have any options at all?
19:32:22 <Vorpal> ais523: if it is gnu, yes
19:32:26 <ais523> normally I link it up with expand in order to place the columns in more readable positions
19:32:35 <Vorpal> ais523: at the very least --help and --copyright
19:32:39 <Vorpal> or --version or something
19:32:47 <Vorpal> Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
19:32:47 <Vorpal> -d, --delimiters=LIST reuse characters from LIST instead of TABs
19:32:47 <Vorpal> -s, --serial paste one file at a time instead of in parallel
19:32:47 <Vorpal> --help display this help and exit
19:32:48 <Vorpal> --version output version information and exit
19:32:49 <ais523> it has -d and -s but neither seems that useful
19:33:14 <ais523> like what does -s even do? read the files one at a time, and then paste as normal?
19:33:30 <Vorpal> I never used paste, what does normal paste do?
19:34:13 <Vorpal> Oh, put each file side by side
19:35:52 <ais523> it's the opposite of cut
19:36:18 <Vorpal> ais523: try man 1p paste, it sheds more light on the options
19:36:24 <Vorpal> rather confusing options but
19:36:47 <ais523> I don't have a section 1p
19:36:53 <ais523> that's posix presumably?
19:37:27 <fizzie> "Concatenate all of the lines of each separate input file in command line order. The <newline> of every line except the last line in each input file shall be replaced with the <tab>, unless otherwise specified by the -d option."
19:37:27 <Vorpal> ais523: that is the posix docs split in man pages
19:37:38 <ais523> oh, according to the info page, -s basically transposes the output
19:38:05 <Vorpal> apt-get install manpages-posix (for 1p) and apt-get install manpages-posix-dev (for 3p)
19:38:16 <Vorpal> ais523: I found those packages really useful
19:38:39 <ais523> right, was just doing that
19:38:43 <ais523> looks like it could come in handy
19:38:50 <ais523> (presumably there isn't a 2p because posix doesn't specify syscalls?)
19:39:35 <Vorpal> Apparently -d and -s interact in weird ways
19:40:00 <Vorpal> ais523: though there are some pages in 2 that have corresponding 3p but no 3
19:40:22 <Vorpal> I guess it is a case of splitting between libc and syscalls differently?
19:40:53 <ais523> yay, this makes it much easier to get things like the yacc spec
19:41:23 <ais523> I can't imagine many POSIX systems where that wouldn't be a syscall
19:41:24 <Vorpal> Yeah, that is an example of that
19:41:31 <ais523> so presumably 3p just contains all the stuff that's meant to be in libc
19:41:54 <Vorpal> also there is no 5p or 7p iirc
19:42:08 <Vorpal> btw what is in 4, 6, 8 and 9 anyway?
19:42:48 <ais523> 4 is for things like /dev/null
19:42:59 <Vorpal> Like nethack presumably?
19:43:00 <ais523> 6 and 8 are both executables that people didn't want in 1 for whatever reason
19:43:08 <ais523> and it only goes up to 8
19:43:18 <ais523> (some people use 9 for weird nonstandard things, I think)
19:43:31 <Vorpal> Why the numeric splitting to begin with?
19:43:37 <Vorpal> It isn't very intuitive at all
19:43:55 <Vorpal> Wouldn't say cmd/ sys/ lib/ and so on make more sense
19:43:59 <ais523> chapters of the manual
19:44:00 <zzo38> I think it is fine and use the numeric splitting
19:44:06 <ais523> originally this was a printed book
19:44:10 <Vorpal> ais523: the original UNIX manual I guess?
19:44:12 <ais523> with the option to read bits online
19:44:30 <ais523> it still has headings and footers and the like, although people are often unsure about what to put there
19:44:57 <zzo38> I put zorkmid in section 6, and playmod in section 1
19:47:12 <Vorpal> What is the point of /dev/full...
19:47:49 <ais523> Vorpal: testing the error handling of your programs
19:48:12 <ais523> adding "> /dev/full" to the end of your command line is a trivial way to see if your program handles errors printing output correctly
19:48:13 <Vorpal> ais523: right, but it is utterly crude...
19:48:19 <Vorpal> It is one specific error
19:49:02 <Vorpal> What it it fails to EBADF instead? EDQUOT?
19:49:15 <Vorpal> A proper fault simulator might be more useful
19:49:29 <Vorpal> Seem to remember that the sqlite guys made something like that
19:49:51 <ais523> however the vast majority of programs don't care about the specific error code
19:49:58 <ais523> sometimes even in cases where they should (e.g. EINTR, EAGAIN)
19:50:07 <Vorpal> ais523: the error recovery might be different
19:50:53 <Vorpal> Not sure if the sqlite thing is reusable for other projects

20:01:15 <zzo38> I found that AmigaMML with > /dev/full seems to work OK (although it will not write the song anywhere), although input from /dev/null results in a floating point exception.
20:11:11 <fizzie> Huh. The thesis publication thingie wanted a back cover text.
20:12:30 <fizzie> Also: I keep getting porn ad spam in Swedish at the 'webmaster' role address of gehennom.org.
20:12:56 <ais523> oh, hmm, it appears to duplicate content of zem.fi
20:13:05 <fizzie> It's been different as well.
20:13:08 <fizzie> I used to run a public nethack server once.
20:13:59 <fizzie> And I've been thinking of putting something nethack-related (some sort of data visualization stuffs, maybe) up there, but haven't.
20:14:11 -!- bb010g has joined.
20:15:55 <fizzie> Oh, and I think I hosted darkhive as a subdomain of gehennom.org.
20:17:32 -!- ais523 has quit.
20:20:12 <fizzie> An unofficial archive of a discussion forum with a name starting with d -- hence, "d-arkhive".
20:20:26 <fizzie> Given the quality content, maybe the "dark-hive" split is appropriate as well.
20:22:59 <zzo38> Can you please tell me how to set up the email so that it uses different user name for messages received from internet than local messages?
20:23:38 <fizzie> Maybe I should at least stick in some sort of a more nethacky placeholder on that thing, rather than have it just be a (probably broken somehow; at least the TLS cert is wrong) copy of zem.fi. It got to be like that just because I migrated to lighttpd and didn't bother to configure in name-based vhosts.
20:25:07 <Vorpal> fizzie: lighttpd is still alive?
20:25:16 <Vorpal> I thought it was all nginx these days
20:25:55 <fizzie> I don't know how much development effort it gets, but they do at least fix issues.
20:26:07 <Vorpal> Speaking of which, I should should upgrade nginx to a version supporting HTTP2, some day
20:26:25 <Vorpal> Apparently debian backports only has the version right before the HTTP2 one
20:26:43 <fizzie> You should upgrade it to a version supporting QUIC, be all even fancier. Except I don't think there is a version to do that.
20:27:28 <fizzie> It's pretty much a mapping of HTTP/2 on UDP.
20:29:49 <Vorpal> "Round-trip times, roughly defined by the speed of light, are bounded, and as a result the only way to decrease connection latency is to make fewer round-trips."
20:29:58 <Vorpal> Quoting wikipedia on QUIC
20:30:07 -!- tjt263__ has joined.
20:30:33 <Vorpal> We are not even close to the point of the propagation delay being the limiting factor for most connections
20:30:51 <Vorpal> Just compare ping over ethernet and wifi to see that
20:31:38 <fizzie> Yes, it's a bit of a silly comment. The reason QUIC cares about round-trips is because RTTs on mobile networks are awful.
20:31:54 <fizzie> Much awful-er than mandated by the speed of light, that is.
20:32:19 <Vorpal> fizzie: Also we should dig cables straight through earth, that way imagine how much less the delay to Australia will be
20:33:01 <fizzie> The original source for that comment is probably from a Chromium blog post: "However, despite increasing bandwidth, round trip time (RTT)--which is ultimately bounded by the speed of light--is not decreasing, and will remain high on mobile networks for the foreseeable future."
20:33:08 <Vorpal> Speaking of ethernet, why does ethernet connectors generally have status leds, for both connection and data. And why doesn't, say, USB also have that?
20:33:08 <fizzie> Where the bounded-by-c was just an aside.
20:33:21 <fizzie> http://blog.chromium.org/2013/06/experimenting-with-quic.html
20:34:48 <Vorpal> fizzie: btw this laptop gets much more stable ping times when using 2.4 GHz than when using 5 GHz. To the same access point. This does not apply to other devices connected to the same access point. I wonder what is going on
20:42:33 <Vorpal> quintopia: possibly? It is an old intel adapter

20:42:58 <Vorpal> not sure where that c came from, it wasn't supposed to be there
