00:02:02 <lambdabot> int-e said 10m 36s ago: more Erdős-Woods numbers: http://int-e.eu/~bf3/tmp/b059756.txt
00:03:18 <oerjan> of course there would be a name for it.
00:03:34 <int-e> Jafet found that via OEIS
00:03:38 <oerjan> also, of course erdős would be involved.
00:07:38 <oerjan> "the set of Erdős–Woods numbers is recursive" haven't we basically proved that too.
00:10:09 <int-e> We have membership of the decision problem (is n an E-W number?) in NEXPTIME.

00:11:34 <oerjan> i think you've disproved that.
00:12:06 <oerjan> that was back in 1989, presumably he didn't have the computational power to check.

01:19:28 <int-e> ...it was nice but there are probably better things to reread.
01:19:53 <shachaf> So this problem is NP-complete: Given a rooted directed graph where some of the nodes are marked, is there a path of length n from the root to a marked node for every n?
01:20:49 <shachaf> But it seems that proofs of that fact can be kind of complicated, even if they're verifiable in polynomial time?
01:22:17 <int-e> oh... there's some fun modular arithmetic in there...
01:25:02 <oerjan> shachaf: surely proofs are just a list of paths for each n?
01:27:09 <shachaf> Cycles are allowed. So for a cycle of length m at depth n, you know that every number >= n which is equal to n mod m is covered.
01:27:18 <shachaf> So you just need to find a bunch of those or something.
01:27:41 <oerjan> i don't think that's precisely right
01:27:48 <shachaf> And as long as the number of those is small enough, and you manually provide paths for smaller n, then it should be OK.
01:28:59 <int-e> The largest number not representable as the sum of p's and q's is pq-p-q ... if p and q are coprime.
01:29:33 <oerjan> if they're not coprime, there's obviously no largest number.
01:29:37 <int-e> I'll treat it as a puzzle.

01:40:32 <oerjan> not sure what held it up.
01:43:02 <quintopia> shachaf: reminds me of the proof that every number greater than 11 is the sum of a set of primes
01:43:55 <quintopia> which uses ramanujan's theorem that for all number 29 or greater, there is a prime between int(n/2) and n-11

01:52:22 <oerjan> int-e: i'm still speaking about incremental updates btw hth
01:52:27 <int-e> (when I was complaining I had the experience of a 'cabal update' taking almost 15 minutes...)
01:52:46 <oerjan> well i also think it takes too long. maybe not that long.
01:53:04 <oerjan> especially when the promises i've read say the new system should take seconds.
01:53:52 <int-e> well it's this mobile contract I have... I've exceeded my "fast connectivity" quota for the month.
01:55:09 <int-e> So they allow me 128kbd/s, bundled ISDN speed.

01:55:59 <oerjan> int-e: btw there's apparently a stackage-related solution, stackage-update.
01:56:27 <oerjan> i guess snoyman got fed up with waiting again.
01:56:38 <int-e> stackage will help until it decides to download a ghc binary.
01:56:46 <int-e> or would... I'm not using stack.
01:57:01 <oerjan> stackage is not stack hth
01:57:30 <int-e> all this new-fangled stuff is too much for me
01:57:54 <oerjan> in fact it said the "stackage-" prefix is only for convenience there
01:58:25 <oerjan> i'm not using stack either, although i'm wondering if i should.
01:58:43 <oerjan> but then, i'm not really programming for the time being.
01:59:04 <int-e> well, I have this stupid bot to update
02:00:45 <int-e> but stackage would mean subscribing to one of the confederated package databases, or does it mirror hackage as well?
02:02:21 <oerjan> int-e: i think from what i'm reading that stackage-update is simply a drop-in replacement for cabal update, and actually uses hackage.
02:02:44 <oerjan> http://www.yesodweb.com/blog/2015/04/announcing-stackage-update
02:05:52 <int-e> hmm, thanks for the suggestion

02:10:00 <int-e> ah. runIn suDir acfDir "git" ["archive", "--format=tar", "-o", tarFile, "current-hackage"] Nothing ... how have I never heard of git-archive before?
02:13:47 <int-e> tricky, it doesn't even use a branch... just a bunch of loose commits (with no parent).
02:23:09 <shachaf> oerjan: Why don't you think that's precisely right?
02:24:29 <oerjan> well it wasn't very clearly stated what "at depth n" means.
02:25:26 <oerjan> oh that's why int-e talked about pq-p-q
02:25:37 <shachaf> A cycle that starts at a node reachable from the root by a path of length n.
02:25:54 <oerjan> well it could be anywhere on that path.
02:27:05 <oerjan> i think basically you can calculate all the shortest cycles involving each node.
02:27:25 <oerjan> at least that should be bounded in length.
02:28:18 <oerjan> hm but different cycles of the same length might allow different extensions...
02:28:48 <oerjan> it's not immediately obviously to me that you can sum up all that needed information polynomially.
02:29:02 <oerjan> which is what makes it complicated, i guess.
02:29:51 <oerjan> let's see, every path longer than the number of nodes must involve a cycle.
02:30:57 <oerjan> ...but even without cycles, there might be exponentially many paths.

03:50:47 <shachaf> Also I'm not quite sure about the NP claim anymore.

12:46:58 <int-e> Okay, awake enough to read http://oeis.org/wiki/The_OEIS_Contributor's_License_Agreement ... too much text. Her's the unacceptable bit: "You agree that OEIS may change [...] License Agreement [...] without advance notice." And this is the part that's important to them, because it allows them to make money: "You hereby grant a) to the Foundation and b) to the OEIS Users [...] a [...] license to...

13:13:25 <hppavilion[1]> Is there a way I can get texted when the news breaks of a major terrorist attack?
13:35:33 <int-e> would I anger any people if lambdabot stopped supporting ghc-7.8... any people I care about?
13:39:34 <boily> hppavellon[1], izabellora, int-ello.
13:40:05 <boily> when was the last time the 7.8 branch updated?
13:41:42 <hppavilion[1]> int-e: lambdabot should have a metar-like command for terrorism
13:42:07 <int-e> Version 7.8.4 (released December 23rd 2014)
13:44:29 <int-e> I guess I should ask about 7.6.3 instead... that's what debian stable ships.
13:44:52 <int-e> but that ship has sailed

20:09:48 <izabera> why is there no fexecve that works on a fd instead of a filename?
20:10:30 <izabera> i mean, there is but it's a library function
20:11:41 <nortti> what should it be, then?
20:12:31 <nortti> why? execvp is not, neither are most exec* variants
20:12:32 -!- atehwa has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
20:12:57 <izabera> i want to avoid the race between check and exec
20:14:13 -!- atehwa has joined.
20:14:52 <nortti> hm, you mean a situation where you open a file, then outside of the program delete it and place a new thing at the path?
20:16:51 <fizzie> Can you exec /proc/self/fd/N?
20:17:43 -!- irctc905 has joined.
20:18:09 <izabera> it doesn't solve the issue
20:18:29 <gamemanj> You have an FD to the file - perhaps read it, then write it somewhere else?
20:21:12 -!- irctc905 has quit (Client Quit).
20:21:33 <fizzie> izabera: It's not a normal symlink. If you remove the file it points at, it turns into a broken symlink to "/original/path (deleted)", and stays that way even if you create a new file at that location.
20:23:54 <fizzie> (There's apparently some other magic going on as well, because even creating a new file "/original/path (deleted)", while it makes the link look non-broken for ls, doesn't seem to make cat /proc/X/fd/Y to read from the new file.)
20:26:32 <izabera> this completely fixes my problem, thank you!

21:59:17 <quintopia> is there a way to disable alt+f4 on windows
22:00:15 <quintopia> it's too easy for alt+5 to slip and become alt+f4==instakill app
22:01:34 <hppavilion[1]> quintopia: You're lucky; on my laptop, the alt is unnecessary
22:02:32 <int-e> alercah: laptop keyboard?
22:02:38 <quintopia> hppavilion[1]: that would be a great solution if i weren't fatally allergic to using keyboards with atrocious missing keycaps. I'd be blinded by the backlight with no keycap to cover it.
22:03:32 <quintopia> alercah: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/~/media/99691A2C9F3F49F69FA1B1204E768938.ashx
22:04:08 <int-e> f4 is right atop the 5 here, but there's a 2cm gap.
22:04:26 <quintopia> int-e: my fingers are more than 2cm wide, unfortunately
22:04:31 <int-e> (between the function key row and the first row of the keyboard)
22:04:53 <quintopia> and when stretching my hand up with the thumb affixed to alt, it's hard to aim perfectly without looking
22:05:33 <fizzie> My laptop's function key row is a touch-sensitive strip that can toggle between F-keys and the special (brightness, media etc.) ones.
22:05:34 <quintopia> (actually, i think the gap here is only like 1.25 cm)
22:06:00 <fizzie> http://core0.staticworld.net/images/article/2014/04/lenovocarbonx1_2-100258973-orig.jpg <- look at that thing.
22:06:25 <fizzie> There's also a split [home | end] button where caps lock would normally be, and the backspace has been split to a [ <- | delete ] key.
22:06:26 <wob_jonas> quintopia: maybe use some program that lets you globally bind something to that key combination, and make the binding something that doesn't do much
22:06:52 <quintopia> fizzie: at least you have a trackpoint. i wish every lenovo had one.
22:07:04 <fizzie> That's the v2 revision of the Carbon X1 -- the v3 made it completely normal again.
22:07:13 <alercah> trackpoint should be mandatory
22:07:20 <fizzie> (The function key row is again regular keys, and the split ones are whole again.)
22:07:39 <fizzie> http://www.laptopmag.com/images/wp/purch-api/incontent/2012/08/Lenovo_ThinkPad_X1_Carbon_G16.jpg <- looks like this now.
22:08:05 <wob_jonas> fizzie: nice, that looks better. are there replacement keycaps or something?
22:08:38 <quintopia> fizzie: it's nonstandard, but that is a much more convenient placement for home/end when i think about it.
22:08:51 <fizzie> Dunno. (It's a work laptop, I haven't really paid much attention to it.)
22:09:18 <quintopia> fizzie: that carbon g16 layout is identical to my laptop's
22:09:34 <quintopia> (the pageup/pagedn location is really annoying)
22:11:08 <baordog> Esoteric is turning out to be a much more active channel than I imagined.
22:11:34 <baordog> Why is the eso lang community so active?
22:13:37 <wob_jonas> baordog: same as any well-working internet community. people talk not only about esolangs, but about all other stuff, and esolangs is just the excuse to bring birds of a feather together.
22:15:10 <quintopia> wob_jonas: did you watch much of the esa marathon? I'm gonna load up the video of the SM64 120-star race finale tonight.

22:17:29 <baordog> Yeah sorry to have missed gdq this year.
22:17:32 <wob_jonas> quintopia: it's particularly disappointing when they run the same game as in GDQ, but with worse skill
22:17:39 <baordog> What's the new hotness in esolang?
22:17:49 <wob_jonas> baordog: you can still watch the videos on archive or youtube
22:17:51 <quintopia> wob_jonas: i was disappointed with some, but some others are actually pretty great
22:18:05 <quintopia> wob_jonas: the SMW 96 exit race was really good
22:18:22 <wob_jonas> quintopia: I still have to watch some of the GDQ videos, especially some of the final encodes where the temp encodes are bad
22:18:37 <wob_jonas> it was someone else who didn't like races
22:18:45 <quintopia> the smw 96 exit run was well-played
22:20:28 <quintopia> there was an excellent Limbo Any% Normal Route race!
22:20:37 <wob_jonas> in SGDQ, which game was that not very old puzzle game with nice 3d scenery graphics? I watched it once but now can't find it

23:28:49 <int-e> not quite released yet
23:29:08 <int-e> but it's supposed to come out *checks local time* this month
