03:40:08 <shachaf> zzo38: Have you invented a better query language than SQL?
03:43:05 <quintopia> whats wrong with set-builder notation as a query language?
03:50:01 <zzo38> shachaf: No I have not done, but I think SQL is working OK. But I have invented extensions to SQL which have not been implemented as far as I know, such as extensions to access RDF data, as well as some other things.
03:52:37 <zzo38> Some features I wanted for SQL have to do with SQLite APIs and not with the SQL code itself; some of these have been implemented but not all. For example, I have more suggestions for features for virtual tables, such as the ability of the module to deal with LIMIT and OFFSET clauses, and the ability of the module to do batch updates and batch deletions.

04:01:14 -!- tromp_ has joined.
04:02:51 <zzo38> There is now the ability for a SQLite virtual table module xBestIndex method to know which columns are used by a colUsed field, although this field includes even consumable uses, and I would rather that it omitted consumable uses; it would make more sense to me. If this were changed, then sqlite3_vtab_config() should be used to configure this, for purpose of backward compatibility.
04:07:13 <zzo38> Another enhancement would be to allow additional sqlite3_declare_vtab() calls, where the additional ones are CREATE INDEX instead of CREATE TABLE statements. A partial index and index on expression are allowed (and in the case of virtual tables, a CREATE INDEX statement that doesn't use either of these features is probably useless, unless it contains COLLATE clauses too, so that you can create a virtual table that supports multiple collations.)

05:16:46 <zzo38> Does the number 11 on a rotary telephone in a hotel mean to access the outside line (which is 9 on modern telephones)?
05:17:07 <shachaf> zzo38; Rotary phones are obsolete.
05:18:24 <zzo38> That fails to answer the question. I mean at a time when the Hotel Pennsylvania had a rotary telephone.
05:18:58 <shachaf> Rotary phones have been obsolete my entire life.
05:19:00 <zzo38> Someone I asked about this picture suggested that is what 11 is for.
05:19:12 <shachaf> So they've been obsolete forever.

05:23:12 <zzo38> If you go to a book store that has it then you can look there I suppose. If you find it at the store and want to buy it, you have to pay $6.95 (United States) or $8.95 (Canadian), plus tax.
05:23:38 <zzo38> You may also find a picture of the covers in their webpages; I don't know, but you can try.
05:25:39 -!- kuroro_ has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
05:25:50 <zzo38> I don't actually know where this picture came from, but at least it appears to be from Hotel Pennsylvania; it has their telephone number in the middle.
05:27:10 <zzo38> (Their telephone number was (and still is) PENnsylvania 5000, I think in the 212 area code.)
05:27:55 <shachaf> My phone number is SHA-CHAF.
05:28:23 <zzo38> Do you know of anyone who has kept the same telephone number for longer than them? (This is a question that was asked in a letter in a previous issue.)
05:29:49 <pikhq> Define "obsolete". In much of the US, pulse dialing still works.
05:30:02 <shachaf> pikhq: I mean it in the Google sense, of course.
05:30:22 <pikhq> They are certainly obsolete in the Google sense.
05:30:41 <shachaf> I wish that one comic was public.
05:32:34 <zzo38> Pulse dialing ought to still work! A telephone is much simpler to design with pulse dialing (although some functions will not work, such as if you need an extension number, but this is OK); if you have switch, microphone, speaker, bell, it will be enough, I think. Even if it does not actually have a dial, it will work (I have tried it, and yes it does work even without a dial).
05:33:12 <shachaf> Pulse dialing is useful because you can do it yourself when necessary.
05:34:20 <zzo38> And, I have done it manually without the dial, actually.
05:36:14 <shachaf> zzo38: But I can't do it from my cell phone.
05:36:38 <zzo38> (Why? It is because I wanted to just see if it works; it did work.)

05:39:50 <zzo38> But the cellular system is entirely different anyways
05:40:31 <shachaf> For example, it still uses phone numbers.
05:43:43 <pikhq> Sure, but it's not attempting to present the entire user interface over a low bandwidth analog line.
05:55:05 <Cale> shachaf: Well, those involve NULL in various ways, don't they?
05:55:53 <Cale> You can probably express them in ways involving 1+A and 1+B for the two tables
05:56:59 <shachaf> I guess you would want something like These.
05:57:43 <shachaf> But sum types are too good for SQL, anyway.

10:28:13 <ais523> huh, something came up at work that I just realised I know how to do in Haskell, but not OCaml

10:28:33 <ais523> on the offchance, anyone here that's able to help?

10:28:45 <ais523> <ais523> but now I need to change g so that its argument is a [< `x | `y] list; can I do that whilst asserting that its return value and argument have the same type?

10:36:45 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
10:37:08 <shachaf> I don't follow the rest of the example. I guess I should look up OCaml syntax.
10:37:10 <ais523> where the typeclass in question describes the existence of a function whose argument is a and whose return value is a list of an ADT whose constructors are X and Y
10:37:18 <ais523> err, (SomeTypeClass a => [a] -> [a])
10:37:23 <ais523> forgot the list bit :-P
10:38:50 <shachaf> What's [`x], or [< `x | `y]?
10:39:28 <ais523> [`x] is a variant type whose constructors are exactly `x (actually it has to be captialized, so `X)
10:40:12 <ais523> [< `X | `Y] is a variant type whose constructors are some subset of `X and `Y (so there are four possible types there, False, [`X], [`Y], and [`X|`Y])
10:41:20 <ais523> likewise, [> `X | `Y] is a variant type whose constructors are some /superset/ of `X and `Y
10:42:34 <shachaf> Where `X and `Y are nullary constructors?
10:43:22 <ais523> you can give them arguments too, e.g. [`X of int], but I didn't because I was trying to come up with the simplest example that illustrated the problem
10:43:46 <shachaf> So [< `X | `Y] behaves like Bool for most purposes, for consumers?
10:45:46 <shachaf> What's the difference between [`X | `Y] and [< `X | `Y]?
10:46:58 <ais523> I think mathematically there isn't one
10:47:17 <ais523> OCaml refuses to treat the types as the same, though, probably because the equivalence doesn't hold once you start giving arguments to the constructors

11:03:20 <lifthrasiir> I haven't used OCaml for ages, so I might be wrong :p
11:03:26 <ais523> [> `X | `Y] can be contracted to [> `X]
11:03:29 <shachaf> So the type of `X is [> `X], for instance.
11:04:00 <ais523> and the type of function `X -> 0 is [< `X] -> int
11:04:03 <shachaf> But [`X | `Y] and [< `X | `Y] have the same number of inhabitants.
11:04:11 <shachaf> And you consume them essentially the same way.
11:04:26 <lifthrasiir> ais523: ah I think I confused because function args should have the *inverted* variance to be checked
11:04:48 <ais523> yes, OCaml is notorious for not automatically casting between types even when they're mathematically equivalent
11:05:03 <ais523> my codebase has at least one example where I've written the identity function by writing out cases
11:05:17 <ais523> in order to "launder" a variance
11:05:30 <b_jonas> ais523: isn't that because they have a type system where there's no algorithm for determining if the types are equivalent?
11:05:31 <ais523> because OCaml couldn't handle either just using the value directly, or a cast
11:05:37 <lifthrasiir> in turn OCaml has a relatively straightforward type checker, I think
11:05:42 <ais523> b_jonas: right, I strongly suspect that this is to do with keeping the type system decidable
11:06:59 <Sgeo> ais523, congratulations on getting on the NetHack dev team!

11:11:47 <ais523> you can use angles, but only if you've agreed a coordinate system in advance
11:11:53 <b_jonas> ais523: yeah. here in Hungary we have the roads numbered so that 1..8 go roughly to the eight compass directions in order, and all roads have a number whose first digit is the octant, but nobody uses this to describe directions.
11:12:24 <b_jonas> (funnily, there are also road numbers whose first digit is 9 and a road with number 0)
11:12:24 <shachaf> You can communicate a permutation through an ordering, but only if you've agreen on an ordering in advance.
11:12:29 <ais523> b_jonas: the UK has a very similar system, with 9 numbered regions for describing zones
11:12:53 <ais523> six of them radiate from London, three from Edinburgh
11:13:18 <ais523> and the boundaries are the A1, the A3, the A4, the A5, the A6, the A7, the A8, the A9, and the River Thames between 1 and 2
11:13:35 <shachaf> What's common to all those things, anyway?
11:13:41 <ais523> (the A1 goes to both London and Edinburgh, in order to reduce the number of boundary roads needed by 1)
11:13:56 <b_jonas> It would be nice if road numbers, postal codes, and telephone codes would be numbered in some roughly corresponding way, but no such luck, they're three different systems.
11:13:56 <shachaf> Permutation and total (well?) ordering, linear map/matrix and basis, etc.
11:14:05 <shachaf> I'm slightly incoherent right now.
11:14:10 <ais523> b_jonas: is the number 0 a circular road that goes through all eight zones, by any chance?
11:14:33 <ais523> shachaf: I don't know but have a feeling that the answer has something to do with category theory
11:14:40 <shachaf> For a finite set of size n, there are n! permutations and n! total orders you can put on that set.
11:14:46 <shachaf> But there's no natural isomorphism between those two.
11:15:03 <shachaf> Yes, "naturality" is the first step in an answer.
11:15:29 <shachaf> But I bet they're more connected than that.
11:15:38 <b_jonas> ais523: that's the plan, although it's not a full cycle (possibly not yet a full cycle), and it's actually called M0, and some numbers are used twice, once with M and once without, and M means a motorway/freeway and exactly that.
11:15:42 <shachaf> For example, maybe it's actually a well-ordering you need, not a total ordering.
11:15:54 -!- tromp_ has quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds).
11:16:03 <shachaf> "every set can be well-ordered" and "every vector space has a basis" are both equivalent to the axiom of choice. Maybe there's something there?
11:16:22 <b_jonas> ok wait, the M prefix isn't quite an exact system, just rough
11:17:13 <shachaf> Of course, in finite cases you don't need the axiom of choice.

11:19:39 <ais523> although in the case of motorways, sometimes we suffix the M instead when talking about a motorway upgrade of or bypass to an A-road
11:20:00 <ais523> the A1 and M1 are different roads; the A1(M) is a different road from the M1, and follows the path of the A1
11:20:09 <ais523> but the A1(M) and M1 are both motorways (the A1 isn't)

13:00:54 <b_jonas> mroman: that can't work, and I've started to wonder that maybe there's no strategy that beats random
13:01:03 <b_jonas> I'm not sure really, I'll still try to think more of it
13:01:35 <b_jonas> it reminds me a bit to a favourite maths problem, but definitely not the same
13:01:36 -!- tromp_ has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds).
13:01:55 <b_jonas> I don't think I told you that one ever
13:02:29 <mroman> I've never heard about chameleons from you.
13:03:18 <b_jonas> Let me tell that one, it's an interesting problem with no elementary solution.
13:04:24 <b_jonas> The story is this. A toy company releases a new line of toys: toy chameleons that can change their color. As sold in the unopened boxes, every chameleon has a unique color, different from every other chameleon.
13:04:24 <mroman> I'm pretty certain that there's no strategy that beats random.
13:04:32 <mroman> that's what my empirical data and intuition tells me so far.
13:06:15 <b_jonas> You can touch two chameleons of different color, and that makes one of the two become the color of the other, while the other doesn't change, so they are the same color afterwards. However, there's no way to tell which of the two chameleons will change color, and regardless of what happened before and what chameleons you touch, there's exactly 1/2 probability for one or the other.
13:07:11 <mroman> the left chameleon is blue, the right is red
13:07:31 <mroman> so I can touch the left blue one
13:07:41 <mroman> either the left blue one changes to red or the right red one changes to blue
13:07:48 <mroman> either way I know which one has changed color.
13:07:49 <b_jonas> If you touch the two chameleons to each other, then with 1/2 probability, both chameleons will be blue after, and with 1/2 probability, both will be red afterwards.
13:07:56 -!- spiette has joined.
13:08:00 <b_jonas> mroman: sure, but you can't tell in advance which will change
13:08:38 <mroman> let's say you are not allowed to learn what number the opponent picked
13:08:49 <mroman> you only know whether your number was larger, smaller or equal
13:08:59 <b_jonas> Um, can't I finish the chameleon thing first?
13:09:26 -!- copumpkin has joined.
13:09:31 <b_jonas> You play this game: you start with N chameleons (N is a natural number), each a different color, and in each step, you touch two chameleons of different color (you never touch two chameleons that are of the same color).
13:09:40 <b_jonas> The game ends when all N chameleons are the same color.
13:10:14 <b_jonas> (A) Prove that the number of steps of the game (from start to end) has a finite expected value.
13:10:29 <b_jonas> No wait, start that one over.
13:10:39 <b_jonas> (A) Prove that no matter what strategy you follow, the number of steps of the game (from start to end) has a finite expected value.
13:10:59 <b_jonas> (B) Prove that the expected value of the number of steps is the same regardless of what strategy you follow.
13:11:08 <b_jonas> (C) What is this expected value exactly?
13:11:52 <b_jonas> (D) Prove however, that the strategy you follow can change the distribution of the number of steps of the game (at least if N isn't too small).
13:12:30 <b_jonas> Of these, (A) and (D) have elementary solutions, but (B&C) doesn't (I believe).
13:15:21 <b_jonas> mroman: go on, you can tell abou tthe numbers thing if you want
13:17:17 <int-e> b_jonas: what happens when you touch teh chameleons...
13:17:47 <b_jonas> You can touch two chameleons of different color, and that makes one of the two become the color of the other, while the other doesn't change, so they are the same color afterwards.
13:18:04 <b_jonas> However, there's no way to tell which of the two chameleons will change color, and regardless of what happened before and what chameleons you touch, there's exactly 1/2 probability for one or the other.

13:25:08 <b_jonas> M:tG rules. The ability of Eradicate looks at the name of the creature as it was on the battlefield, but in contrast the ability of Deicide looks at the name of the card in exile, right?
13:25:39 <mroman> in each step you touch two chameleons together?
13:25:44 <mroman> sorry afk for a moment
13:26:34 <mroman> because chameleons that have changed color might change back
13:27:16 <mroman> so you can't just line them all up.
13:27:48 <mroman> If I have 4 chameleons, I can get two pairs of same colored ones.
13:27:56 <b_jonas> mroman: yes, in each step you touch two chameleons that are (before that step) different color to each other.
13:28:05 <mroman> can I touch chameleons again and again?
13:28:08 <mroman> until they take the color I want?
13:28:20 <mroman> oh wait I can't do that.
13:28:21 <b_jonas> yes, but not just the same two chameleons right after the other of course
13:28:33 <mroman> because I loose colors :(
13:28:36 <b_jonas> you can later touch the same two pairs of chameleons if they changed since
13:28:51 <mroman> well the same two would be pointless
13:28:54 <mroman> because the'll have the same color
13:29:51 <mroman> I have 4 chams with colors ABCD (upper case letters are colors)
13:30:06 <mroman> I pair AB and CD so I get AACC (or BBCC or whatever, doesn't really matter)
13:30:27 <mroman> Now I pair the ones in the middle which gives me AAAC or ACCC
13:30:43 <mroman> let's assume I get AAAC
13:30:47 <mroman> I will pair the two right most
13:31:04 <mroman> which leaves me with AAAA or AACC at which point I'm at the same point as a few steps above
13:31:11 <mroman> so I just repeat the process until I get AAAA
13:31:55 <mroman> so it's at least possible
13:33:23 <mroman> It's basically like tossing coins an that point
13:33:38 <mroman> with a 50:50 chance you either go back to AACC or get AAAA
13:36:01 <b_jonas> mroman: that sounds right about what happens with this strategy, but why do you think the expected value of steps is not finite? I think it is finite in this case.
13:36:21 <mroman> because you repeat a 50:50 chance event over and over again
13:36:54 <mroman> there's no finite number of steps that guarantees you that you win at least once when tossing coins?
13:38:16 <mroman> after 10 steps you have a 1/1024 chance of not yet having all chameleons the same color
13:39:36 <int-e> right, you can get unlucky and then the game will go on forever, at least when there's more than 2 chameleons initially.

13:41:39 <b_jonas> mroman: yes, but luckily I didn't ask for a finite number of steps that guarantees that the game ends.
13:42:28 <b_jonas> (and I think you don't win when the game ends, you lose, since the toys you payed good money for no longer provide you entertainment value.)
13:42:55 <b_jonas> (but that's irrelevant for the maths problem)
13:43:13 <int-e> good news for the manufacturer
13:44:11 <mroman> so once you end up at the same colors again the game is finished?
13:44:46 <mroman> in the first step you get rid of half the colors.
13:45:01 <b_jonas> yes, the game ends when all chameleons are the same color.
13:45:19 <mroman> then it might never end
13:45:29 <b_jonas> (the chameleons still have some value, because you can play with them again if you buy more chameleons, but again you don't do that in the maths problem)
13:46:52 <b_jonas> As for toy manufacturers, this Pokemon Go game that everyone is talking about, is this compatible with other pokemon video games in the sense that you can transfer pokemon to or from Pokemon Go?

17:19:10 <\oren\> b_jonas: so that means a deck with those in it is best fought by not having four of each card you want
17:21:07 <\oren\> hmmm although i dunno how I would decide which card is powerful enough that I want to get rid of it that badly
17:23:05 <\oren\> I suppose this is a good way to kill a combo deck
17:23:55 <zzo38> Some cards they have equivalent or nearly equivalent one with different name, so you can have the ones with different names instead of all same name.
17:28:59 <b_jonas> \oren\: I'm not sure. for most decks, the effect of searching is usually minimal.
17:32:29 <b_jonas> Anyway, because of meld cards, I was trying to search for cards that exile a permanent, follow it to exile, and then do something with the exiled card. Many cards just put the exiled card to the battlefield later.

17:36:28 -!- bauen1 has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds).
17:36:58 <b_jonas> The interesting cases I found are these: Otherworldly Journey returns cards with a +1/+1 counter (straightforward, and called out explicitly in the set faq). Gift of Immortality returns the exiled card and _later_ tries to return itself (from the graveyard? I dunno) tbf attached to that creature.
17:38:10 <b_jonas> Deicide (and probably no other card) follows a card to exile and looks for its subtype and name there, I dunno how that works for a melded permanent. Oubliette and a few other old cards exile a permanent together with its auras and then later return it tbf together with its auras.

17:38:23 -!- bauen1 has joined.
17:40:27 <b_jonas> (Yes, Gift of Immortality follows itself to the graveyard, in exactly the cases outlined in rule 400.7e.)
17:55:10 <b_jonas> Eldritch Moon has an aura called "Imprisoned in the Moon" that can overwrite a permanent's type to _land_, without overwriting its name. This makes some of the rules shenanigans easier to give examples to, and maybe even lets new types of rules stuff happen.
17:55:43 <zzo38> Maybe you can use with a candelabra?
17:57:25 <b_jonas> the Candelabrum of Invocation?

21:54:12 <shachaf> Taneb: Was I rude just then in the other channel?
21:54:17 <shachaf> I didn't intend to be rude.
21:54:29 <Taneb> Not as rude as you've been in the past in some channels
21:55:11 <shachaf> Maybe I misunderstood the question.
21:55:33 <shachaf> How ought I not've been rude?
21:55:45 <shachaf> Also what past rudeness are you thinking of?
21:56:10 <Taneb> In this instance, googling from outside the channel and saying something like "I think so... hang on / Yes, https://github.com/xyncro/aether"
21:56:25 <Taneb> And I have a poor memory for specifics of rudeness I am afraid
21:56:34 <shachaf> Really? I think that's less helpful.
21:57:01 <wob_jonas> Hopefully not as rude as I sometimes am.
21:57:23 <shachaf> Is using @google to answer a question rude?
21:57:43 <shachaf> If I paste the link directly, it implies that I have some previous knowledge of that project.
21:58:28 <wob_jonas> shachaf: that depends. Sometimes people ask tricky questions where if you search you get answers for a similar sounding but different question, in which case it might be rude.
21:58:49 <shachaf> Well, I searched first outside the channel to make sure it would find the right link.
21:59:07 <shachaf> But then pasting the link seems like the wrong thing to do.
21:59:19 <shachaf> Note that I think lmgtfy.com is quite rude.
21:59:26 <Taneb> shachaf, to me, using @google is like "I am SO SURE that this is SO OBVIOUS the first link on google is going to help you"
21:59:39 <shachaf> Was that link not helpful?
21:59:54 <Taneb> It was helpful, yes
22:00:07 <wob_jonas> How can you even be sure it will give the same answer in channel? Google can give different results for the same query depending on the interface language, search history, account, phase of moon, etc.
22:00:13 <Taneb> But I think by using @google you're coming across as more arrogant than you would by just pasting the link
22:00:38 <shachaf> Unless I actually am that arrogant, in which case maybe it's not a problem.
22:01:17 <wob_jonas> The interface language has such a high effect that I specifically sometimes search from http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en and sometimes from http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=hu depending on what I want.
22:02:34 <shachaf> wob_jonas: I suspect phase of moon is the most significant.
22:02:55 <shachaf> "phase of moon" might mean something like "which data center served your query"
22:03:29 <shachaf> Taneb: I apologise for my rudeness.
22:03:51 <shachaf> (You can tell it's serious when I spell "apologise" with an s.)
22:04:16 <shachaf> I'll reconsider my @google behavior
22:04:38 <shachaf> Taneb: Is part of the rudeness that it seems like I'm suggesting that you didn't even bother to look it up on the Google before asking?
22:05:41 <wob_jonas> shachaf: I actually think the interface language is the most significant
22:06:02 <shachaf> wob_jonas: Try running your search query in Tor and see if you get the same result.
22:07:01 <wob_jonas> Ok, maybe the interface language just used to be the most significant. Maybe search history is more significant these days.
22:08:15 <shachaf> Well, I do all my searches in Incognito Mode in Chrome, of course.
22:09:52 <wob_jonas> shachaf: do you think that's enough for Google not recognizing you enough to tilt the search results a little?
22:10:06 <shachaf> I don't know whether Google recognizes you.
22:10:12 <shachaf> But I expect they wouldn't let on.
22:10:15 <wob_jonas> It doesn't have to make a certain identification for some tuning.
