02:18:58 <hppavilion[1]> boily: I want to see a grammar-type that can parse all decidable grammars. That would be nice. Except for when people actually use it to parse a non-context-free grammar. Then it's just painful.
02:21:10 <hppavilion[1]> boily: A grammar type (like LR or LALR or Recursive-descent)
02:21:32 <hppavilion[1]> boily: That can parse all decidable grammars (including, for example, the Language of Primes in Ternary)
02:22:22 <boily> I have a feeling you'd hit Gödel sooner or later in there. probably the former.
02:22:41 <hppavilion[1]> boily: The tarpit version is BNF with the new operators $<rule>, <immediate-rule-name>++, and <immediate-rule-name>--{<rule1>}{<rule2>}

02:23:52 <boily> CT and all that sort of thing, functors between TMs and grammars.
02:24:06 <hppavilion[1]> boily: Yeah, a TM is said to accept a string (as part of the language it represents) if... it halts. Shit.
02:24:37 <hppavilion[1]> I guess Godel might just show up in the form of the Halting Problem

02:25:31 <hppavilion[1]> boily: Wait, no, but it's a BNF for all /decidable/ grammars
02:26:13 <hppavilion[1]> @tell boily [the moment after you left:] boily: Wait, no, but it's a BNF for all /decidable/ grammars // And halting is undecidable
02:28:34 <hppavilion[1]> "LR(k) grammars can be efficiently parsed with an execution time essentially proportional to the length of the string."[7]
02:28:34 <hppavilion[1]> For every k≥1, "a language can be generated by an LR(k) grammar if and only if it is deterministic [and context-free], if and only if it can be generated by an LR(1) grammar."
02:32:03 <hppavilion[1]> A parser that accepts an infinite string that follows some combinatorial pattern
02:32:55 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: A program to parse infinite strings in finite time, given that the infinite string is representable in finite space
02:33:14 <shachaf> Well, depends on how you represent it.
02:33:16 <hppavilion[1]> Using some sort of lazy-evaluated sequence combinators or somesuch
02:33:35 <shachaf> If you represent an infinite string as a Turing machine that generates it, for example, you won't have much luck.
02:34:22 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: I'm thinking that you have some primitive set of generators (likely hauntingly similar to S and K, knowing the way CS works) that accept generators or strings and produce new strings
02:34:49 <shachaf> Well, you don't want anything Turing-complete.
02:37:14 <hppavilion[1]> A primitive set something like like cycle [...], reverse [...], chain [...], and filter f [...] (where f is some simple String -> Bool function defined in a sublanguage)
02:38:14 <hppavilion[1]> Oh, and [...] is a special syntax for directly declaring a sequence
02:38:53 <hppavilion[1]> cycle seq is the first element in seq, then the second, then the third, forever
02:40:00 <hppavilion[1]> chain seq tfr returns each element in the first seq, then, when it runs out, each element in the second
02:40:35 <hppavilion[1]> And filter f seq returns each element in seq s.t. f returns true
02:42:13 <hppavilion[1]> f can be made from q NAND p, contains(seq1, seq2), firstNCharacters(seq, n), and c == d (where c and d are sequences)
02:43:26 <hppavilion[1]> Wait, contains has to be contains(seq, c) because f is applied character-by-character (if it isn't, we get dangerously close to tag systems)
02:44:43 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: And I figured there was a chance that you wanted to see my answer to your ~question

03:24:16 <shachaf> oerjan: chomsky is a linguist not a general hth
03:24:55 <hppavilion[1]> (strictly speaking, I will be using some modification I create that makes it uselessly more powerful; perhaps including the ability to recognize whether a given TM halts in later forms)
03:24:57 <shachaf> or is general chomsky's grammar related to general tso's chicken?
03:27:39 <hppavilion[1]> Is there a pseudo-solution to the Halting Problem that, given a program, will tell you whether or not it will halt, with the occasional possibility of false positives or negatives? (I (but not O) is forbidden for simplicity)
03:28:16 <hppavilion[1]> It would be cool if there was a pseudo-solution (sort of like those pseudo-counterexamples to Fermat's Last Theorem) that I could write into a compiler to freak out CS students who use it
03:29:24 <shachaf> If it doesn't halt, just tell them they haven't run it for long enough.
03:29:40 <shachaf> OK, just run it for BB(n) steps for small n.
03:30:05 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: But you can write a program that /very clearly/ won't halt, but the compiler would still say it will
03:31:03 <hppavilion[1]> (alternatively, a language that is /very nearly/- but not quite- TC (including intermediate-level CS experiment problems and the kinds of things a CS student would test with, but excluding really obscure ones), for which halting is decidable)

05:26:58 <pikhq> lifthrasiir: Accessing other stack frames is, of course, UB. :)
05:27:25 <lifthrasiir> pikhq: unless you chain the existing stack frame with a pointer.

16:35:17 <b_jonas> Why the heck can't we finally have a programming language standard library specification where the array sort functions and ordered-dictionary types and similar are specified in such a way that they spell out the precise guarantees even if the underlying comparison function is nondeterministic or not transitive?
16:36:16 <b_jonas> We don't live in the 1980s anymore when it made sense to write quicksort functions that will actually write the arrays out of bounds if the comparison function is invalid.
16:37:05 <b_jonas> I think most of the implementations we actually use are behaved sanely even for wrong comparison functions, but nobody bothers to guarantee this in specs, so I may have to read and fork existing implementations just to be able to guarantee this in the future.
16:37:18 <gamemanj> If the comparison function is nondeterministic or not transitive, then... is there any one correct sorted order?
16:37:40 <b_jonas> C++ specifically makes it undefined behaviour if you use a wrong comparison function, so it can use one of those qsort functions that just crash.
16:38:31 <b_jonas> gamemanj: no, but the sort function can still guarantee that it gives a permutation of the input, which is important, and it could still give bounds on the runtime.
16:41:08 <b_jonas> The specs can even go further, for compare functions that are partly well-behaved: if the range of values has a (non-observable theoretical) partial equivalence sigma, and a total order on the equivalence classes of sigma, and the comparison function behaves consistently right for two non-equivalent elements by comparing their equivalence classes, and can behave in any way for two equivalent elements;
16:41:41 <gamemanj> Simple solution: Why do you even have non-deterministic comparison functions in your code?
16:42:00 <b_jonas> then a well-written sort function could guarantee that the output is a permutation of the input such that non-equivalent elements are ordered correctly in the output.
16:43:45 <gamemanj> Under what practical situation do you get into such a situation?
16:43:47 <b_jonas> gamemanj: for bug isolation in cases when the comparison has a bug (I can point to at least one such case), or for implementing a safe high-level language that isn't allowed to crash but exposes a sort function or ordered-dictionary type with arbitrary comparison functions defined in that high-level language, including possibly sandbox languages that execute untrusted code.
16:44:01 <b_jonas> s/comparison/comparison implementation/
16:45:00 <b_jonas> The first case is entirely practical, for in theory you'd just implement the correct comparison function instead of a buggy one.
16:45:10 <gamemanj> Bug isolation, ok, that makes sense. As for a safe language that isn't allowed to crash... new byte[0xFFFFFFFF]
16:45:15 <b_jonas> The second one is both theoretical and practical.
16:45:35 -!- Reece` has joined.
16:46:12 -!- jaboja has joined.
16:46:48 <gamemanj> "Safety" is impossible if the user can consume all the resources on the system, which means a completely safe language has to keep track of memory and CPU usage.
16:46:52 <b_jonas> gamemanj: oh come on, there are various different definitions for what sort of safety a language guarantees. I know a language (whether safe or not) can't be total, but some languages guarantee that they at least abort safely rather than trashing memory, even if you run out of memory. That's definitely theoretically possible (although there are practical bugs in implementations).
16:47:19 <b_jonas> gamemanj: I'm not going to try to spell out a particular definition of safety here, and there's more than one non-equivalent ones.
16:47:39 <gamemanj> The point I'm trying to make is that if sort goes into an infinite loop, there needs to be detection in place for this sort of case anyway.
16:47:57 <b_jonas> But even for a not-really-safe language like perl, it's better to use perl 5.8 (or something) which has a sort function that doesn't just segfault if you give it the wrong comparison function (as a bug).
16:49:23 <b_jonas> gamemanj: you can write a sort that doesn't go into an infinite loop even if the comparison function is wrong, but I'm more worried about duplicating and losing items of the array, or indexing past an array, rather than an infinite loop. Bad sort implementations do the latter two.
16:49:54 -!- jaboja has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
16:53:28 -!- AnotherTest has joined.
16:55:47 <gamemanj> Well, a sort function should definitely not SIGSEGV or outright break if it's given a weird comparison function. To me, an infinite loop makes sense simply because if it's inconsistent, the array is never "sorted".

17:52:04 <hppavilion[1]> I have managed to convince myself to a point of view where I don't see Hitler as evil.
17:53:50 <hppavilion[1]> gamemanj: I see him as a deeply disturbed man who should have been seeing a psychiatrist instead of being put into a position of power
17:54:12 <hppavilion[1]> (and, if myname was responding to me, then the above message is directed at them too)
17:54:13 <gamemanj> So, basically, you don't see him as evil, you see him as nuts.
17:54:54 <hppavilion[1]> gamemanj: In fact, I prefer to see him as a person who genuinely /thought/ he was doing the right thing, but who was so screwed up that he didn't realize that what he was doing very clearly wasn't
17:54:54 <myname> how does being nuts imply not being evil?
17:55:11 <gamemanj> myname: Insanity defense, probably.
17:55:16 <hppavilion[1]> Now, it's not necessarily the accurate interpretation
17:55:36 <myname> so, you basically say chaotic evil doesn't have to be evil?
17:55:38 <gamemanj> And now for something completely different to break hppavilion[1]'s doublethink concentration: "Alas, poor yorick! I knew him, Horatio: A fellow of infinite jest..."
17:55:51 <hppavilion[1]> (I mean, Gravity also isn't "necessarily the accurate interpretation")
17:56:37 <gamemanj> Ok, true, it's not contradictory, it's just... how to put it...
17:57:20 <gamemanj> If you want to go into alternate theories like that, you might want to look at the British Empire and the state of India around that time.
17:57:42 <gamemanj> Then you'll find yourself saying "Everybody was like that at the time, Hitler was just a step further"
17:57:51 <myname> i wouldn't say that i need to believe i am evil is a necessary part in being evil
17:58:05 <hppavilion[1]> gamemanj: If we keep viewing Hitler as an alien-warlord-god-king sent from hell to do nothing but kill humanity, we lose sight of what is more accurate, that being that hitler was a deeply damaged human being who /really/ shouldn't have been put in control of a country
17:58:32 <myname> that still doesn't make him not evil
17:59:02 <gamemanj> Nobody said Hitler was an alien-warlord-god-king, and everybody agrees he shouldn't have been put in control of a country. Actions define morality, unless they have good justification.
17:59:07 <hppavilion[1]> myname: What he did was most certainly very, /very/ wrong, but if he does not realize that then I can't in good conscience consider him evil
18:00:30 <hppavilion[1]> This POV is not so much a meaningful opinion on things that matter as it is a way of conveying a message about the nature of morality
18:00:36 <gamemanj> So in your worldview, if I teleported the world's gold into the Sun, but I thought the gold was infectious or something, then I wouldn't be evil?
18:00:43 <HackEgo> /home/hackbot/hackbot.hg/multibot_cmds/lib/limits: line 5: exec: olsit: not found
18:00:50 <HackEgo> olist 1033: shachaf oerjan Sgeo FireFly boily nortti b_jonas
18:01:17 * gamemanj writes "1. Reprogram mind to assert that gold is infectious"
18:01:43 <gamemanj> but my post-mindwipe self would not.
18:02:10 <gamemanj> Which means my post-mindwipe self gets off scot-free since that's the version of me running around teleporting gold.
18:02:23 <myname> hppavilion[1]: have a look at the anime "eden of the east"
18:02:33 <hppavilion[1]> gamemanj: You (post-mindwipe) were just trying to help and do what you thought was right, so you can't be considered evil
18:03:06 <hppavilion[1]> myname: To consider them evil would be a perversion of the concept of right and wrong, IMHO
18:03:16 <myname> why shouldn't i be able to consider someone evil just because he doesn't himself?
18:04:15 <hppavilion[1]> myname: Because, traditionally (in the way everyone else sees it), evil means doing morality-- things even though you know they're morality--.
18:04:42 <hppavilion[1]> gamemanj: myname: The point of this exercise is not that "Hitler wasn't evil", the point is "Morality is hard, justice is complicated"
18:05:00 <myname> evil in a society means doing things against morality of the society, no matter of you actually knowing or not
18:05:14 <hppavilion[1]> myname: That can be how you define it, but that's not how I define it
18:05:28 <gamemanj> hppavilion[1]: Solution: Eliminate justice, as it is an unnecessary complexity.
18:05:48 <hppavilion[1]> myname: I would call "doing stuff that society says you shouldn't do" is a "Moral Transgression" or something.
18:06:11 <myname> that's how societies work
18:06:13 <hppavilion[1]> myname: "evil" is when you sin (which is not the religious term, it's just one I stole from religion)
18:06:23 <gamemanj> So, basically, you have "doing something wrong but not knowing about it", "doing something wrong and knowing about it"?
18:06:54 <myname> yeah, i would call it intentional evil and unintentional evil
18:06:58 <hppavilion[1]> myname: And sinning is to violate morality despite knowing that morality says not to
18:07:19 <hppavilion[1]> myname: But I prefer to give them distinct names; just my preference.
18:07:20 <myname> just because you don't intend to do evil doesn't mean you don't
18:07:28 <gamemanj> I'm pretty sure that if you drank a ton of alcohol, and then, being too drunk to remember that you aren't supposed to drunk-drive, drove a car, and it crashed, you would still lose your license.
18:07:45 <myname> hppavilion[1]: so you are saying killing a person isn't a sin if i don't know better?
18:08:14 <hppavilion[1]> myname: OK, but should someone who commits an unintentional evil be punished? (assuming retributivism, which is a debate unto itself)
18:08:19 <myname> hppavilion[1]: i repeat my anime recommendation: eden of the east
18:08:29 <myname> it plays a bit with the idea of gamemanj
18:09:14 <gamemanj> another anime with a "fun" idea of morals: Death Note!
18:09:28 <hppavilion[1]> gamemanj: There's an anime about the mere concept of you?
18:09:47 <gamemanj> If there is, do tell them to stop stalking me
18:10:35 <gamemanj> (and inquire as to how they'd manage it without my noticing if the whole anime was about the concept of me, meaning they'd have to keep a close eye)
18:10:36 <myname> well, if you ever do anything remotely like watching anime, you most likely have alreqdy watched death note
18:10:44 <hppavilion[1]> myname: I chose the word "sin" because it fits with religion well
18:11:01 <hppavilion[1]> myname: Without (the tree of) knowledge, there can be no sin

18:11:46 <hppavilion[1]> myname: Yes, but it wouldn't be "you" going to heaven
18:12:51 <gamemanj> So what happens if the first thing you do after doing evil stuff is wipe your memories of it, but store them in a way that you'll collect them after being deemed "not evil"?

20:20:02 <ais523> slightly weird situation here
20:20:11 <ais523> I have a zombie process I'm trying to get rid of
20:20:24 <ais523> I attached a debugger to its parent and forced it to run waitpid/wait, but it blocks
20:21:42 <hppavilion[2]> ais523: Shotgun blast to the head should kill any zombie
20:22:07 <ais523> the normal advice is "to kill a zombie you kill its parents" but in this case the parent process is upstart
20:22:38 <ais523> that works but this problem has happened twice now
20:22:42 <ais523> and I don't want to reboot every time
20:22:55 <ais523> and it's not a situation that /should/ be able to occur (zombie process that doesn't show up on wait)
20:23:39 <hppavilion[2]> End-user programming is an interesting thing; however, the only form of it I know of that is accessible to non-programmers is spreadsheets
20:25:04 <hppavilion[2]> (And filter config and such, I suppose, but that is usually absurdly abstracted)
20:25:52 <hppavilion[2]> ais523: Are you in the TC camp or the TFP camp, OOC?
20:25:59 <hppavilion[2]> I think FSAs may actually be useful AND accessible for EUP

20:41:51 <ais523> so when I detached the debugger, my entire login session went down
20:42:01 <ais523> and the login screen program (IIRC lightdm broke)
20:42:14 <ais523> then when I shut down the system manually from ctrl-alt-f1, it didn't shut down
20:42:36 <ais523> and not even alt-sysrq-o could power the system off (alt-sysrq-b worked though)
20:43:27 -!- tromp has joined.
20:45:17 <gamemanj> If you didn't look at the logs, my theory was the zombie process was a cockatrice corpse.
20:46:38 <gamemanj> (Also, hydraz joined, left, then joined.)
20:48:27 <gamemanj> ...I also misspelt "ais523" as "ais513".

20:50:52 <gamemanj> hppavilion[2]: I was explaining your comment because ais523 didn't see the context (the misspelling)
20:51:11 <hppavilion[2]> gamemanj: ais513 -> 513; ais523 -> 523; 523-513=10; .'. ais513+10=ais523
20:51:30 <hppavilion[2]> gamemanj: I invented a new pseudo-degree a little while ago, by the way.

20:53:02 <hppavilion[2]> Clearly, ais523 was here last time I brought this up
20:58:16 <b_jonas> ais523: I made a page for the esoteric language Юᓂ곧⎔ . Does that count as a language or a joke language, for the purposes of esowiki?
20:59:12 -!- ais523 has changed nick to l`.
20:59:15 -!- l` has changed nick to ais523.
20:59:24 <ais523> let me look at the page
21:00:24 <ais523> b_jonas: given that it doesn't seem to define an actual language, just a source encoding
21:00:28 <ais523> I'm not sure it's a language at all
21:00:35 <gamemanj> people keep appearing and disappearing fast enough that I get the feeling it would be a bad idea to explain what happened while someone was out, since that would just ping other people and make more stuff happen
21:00:49 <gamemanj> which would lead to an endless cascade of stuff happening!
21:01:14 <b_jonas> ais523: encoding of the source of what?
21:01:16 <ais523> in my case, it's basically that the cable connecting the laptop to the router is temperamental
21:01:24 -!- impomatic_ has joined.
21:01:24 <ais523> b_jonas: the Юᓂ곧⎔ program
21:01:44 <b_jonas> ais523: yes, it's definitely not a full definition for the language
21:01:59 -!- rdococ_ has quit (Quit: Leaving).
21:05:32 <b_jonas> ais523: but there's an example that shows how to define the main function, how to call a print (or printf, who knows) function, so it's not very far from a very sketchy description from which you could make a small but full language. It needs some conditionals, loops, returns, local variable declarations, and either parameter or return type declarations.
21:05:55 <b_jonas> If you added those, it would already be a stack machine.
21:06:23 <b_jonas> So I think it's an unfinished language basically.
21:06:45 <b_jonas> Nobody completed a description or an implementation.
21:07:04 <gamemanj> "conditionals, loops" (etcetc.)? But adding all that stuff might make it less esoteric!
21:07:51 <gamemanj> ..."must not contain ASCII characters other than line feed"...
21:08:01 <gamemanj> So, basically, everything is UTF-8.
21:08:17 <ais523> it's non-ASCII, and stands for "next line"
21:08:25 <ais523> and many standards have it as a valid vertical whitespace character
21:08:28 <b_jonas> ais523: Yes, I was wondering on that. There's like three unicode characters like that. But I didn't define the language.
21:08:45 <ais523> although it's unclear what it's meant to do that's different from the other whitespace characters
21:08:49 <ais523> maybe it stands for a CRLF pair?
21:08:57 <gamemanj> Also, you better be Japanese if you want to use the language
21:09:13 <gamemanj> since that way your function arguments make sense!
21:09:29 <gamemanj> ...wait a sec... "and the corresponding name in katakana is used within the function definition."
21:09:46 <gamemanj> an interpreter actually has to map from hiragana to katakana!?!?!?
21:09:48 <b_jonas> ais523: I think it's just meant to unambiguously differentiate line separator from paragraph separator, just like how there are unicode characters to unambiguously split the ascii minus or the ascii quotes to different semantical and typographical values.
21:10:11 <ais523> b_jonas: so what's unicode for next paragraph?
21:16:27 <b_jonas> ais523: \x{2028} for line separator, \x{2029} for paragraph separator. both are different from NEL which is \x{85}

23:27:43 <oerjan> it's been up to 12 or so in previous weeks
23:27:59 <oerjan> but then it all goes downhill again.
23:28:18 <boily> last week was undefined behaviour.
23:28:53 <boily> but the Bixi bikes are out! new season starts tomorrow! woot!
23:29:19 <boily> (probably won't be able to ride them until Saturday; today and tomorrow two cow orkers and I are at a formation.)

23:30:16 <boily> also an Ottawa thing. and a Melbourne thing. and Paris, IIRC hth
23:30:37 <oerjan> well we've had public bikes in trondheim too. dunno if it's still done.
23:33:11 <boily> mynamello! they are public bikes you rent.
23:33:30 <boily> there are stations with locked bikes. you pay, pick one, ride, and lock it back at another station.
23:33:42 <oerjan> ok looks active http://www.bysykler.no/trondheim/kart-over-sykkelstativer
23:33:44 <boily> or you get a subscription, with a nifty magnetic key.
23:34:05 <oerjan> different system, presumably.
23:36:30 <myname> i like my folding bike
23:37:56 <Phantom_Hoover> i saw homestuck was trending on reddit and that the subreddit was all people complaining
23:38:08 <Phantom_Hoover> and i found this image which explained shit which has been obvious for ~4 years http://imgur.com/a/9ucF7
23:38:41 <oerjan> boily: iiuc the norwegian system uses a card
23:39:08 <oerjan> but otherwise sounds like you describe.
23:39:33 <pikhq> Phantom_Hoover: Yes, it is.
23:39:54 <pikhq> Maybe now I'll read it.
23:40:31 <boily> oerjan: I'll take pictures.
23:40:52 <boily> glorious pictures, with closeups of all their fiddly parts. beautiful bikes...
23:41:02 <oerjan> boily: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncQsBzI-JHc
23:41:43 <boily> last time I clicked on one of your links I got a weird tune stuck in my head.
23:41:51 <boily> not sure if it's good for my sanity...
23:42:04 <oerjan> true. on the other hand this is on topic.

23:50:48 <oerjan> best laugh i've had in ages
23:52:24 <shachaf> boily: have you figured out what a pooch-down automaton is yet twh
23:53:33 <boily> hellochaf. simple: it's a stack of pooches all the way down. then it's turtles, that are pooches too.
