00:59:17 <fizzie> It was surprisingly humane today.
00:59:28 <lambdabot> gamemanj said 1h 45m 17s ago: Yes, overthinking is something I am proud of.
00:59:33 <quintopia> oerjan: you can't confirm that. it could be boiling rain
00:59:47 <oerjan> quintopia: i looked at the temperature hth
01:00:21 <quintopia> oerjan: the thermometer could be inside a box, protected from the boiling water?
01:00:46 <quintopia> we'll have to check again in a few minutes to be sure
01:01:52 <oerjan> quintopia: i think you're confusing this with the alderaan forecast hth
01:02:12 <boily> hellørjan! nolongerboily?
01:02:38 <boily> gamellomanj. did you know that oerjan is unscarable hth
01:02:59 <oerjan> um is unscarable the same as unscareable
01:03:03 <gamemanj> boily-ng. A more refined boily for a better age.
01:03:05 <boily> quinthellopia! eating is a good activity.
01:03:27 <gamemanj> (Brought to you by the developers of aircrack-ng, presumably.)
01:04:05 * boily munches on edible stuff. *munch* *munch* *munch*
01:04:38 <boily> leftovers from lunch. rice, beef, tofu and zucchini, bean sprouts and carrots.
01:04:51 <boily> no, the only green part is zucchinal hth
01:05:04 <quintopia> i had a bag of hot wings flavored pretzels. so...yeah
01:05:20 * oerjan is neither unscareable nor unscarable, but if you have to test either i prefer the former hth hth
01:05:53 <oerjan> also wiktionary doesn't think scarable exists.
01:05:58 <quintopia> unscarable doesn't sound like a real word
01:07:10 <quintopia> boily: that's it! that's the ticket! but i probably would pwn you at english scrabble, and you'd wipe the floor with me in french
01:07:31 -!- augur has joined.
01:07:38 <oerjan> i also fail to find any real uses of "scarable" because they're swamped by either dictionary SEO or typos
01:07:57 <oerjan> (or perhaps no one's ever used it)
01:08:19 <quintopia> it's an #esoteric hapax legemenon!
01:08:23 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
01:09:05 <oerjan> quintopia: oh, i guess the real word would be spelt unscarrable. checking...
01:09:40 <gamemanj> It's like scrabble, but you have to make anything that isn't a word in any language in the universe.
01:09:51 <gamemanj> Which makes it excessively difficult.
01:10:14 <oerjan> scarrable gives at least one genuine hit, although wiktionary still doesn't know it.
01:10:57 <oerjan> technically the hit was "un-scarrable"
01:11:09 <quintopia> nah it's easy. you just invent an alphabet on the spot, assign to them sounds that are extremely difficult to make (e.g. the sound of a baby eating a puppy as they are torn about by tidal forces inside a black hole), and string them together randomly
01:13:25 <gamemanj> quintopia: You also have to map these to English letters for reasons which should hopefully be obvious if you've ever seen a Scrabble set.
01:14:34 <quintopia> gamemanj: whoever said unscrabble involved a scrabble set?
01:14:40 <oerjan> <quintopia> itym unscarrable <-- damn i did it again.
01:14:53 <zzo38> What you need is a chess set.
01:15:16 <oerjan> <quintopia> boily: that's it! that's the ticket! but i probably would pwn you at english scrabble, and you'd wipe the floor with me in french <-- norwegian hth
01:16:02 <quintopia> oerjan: both of us cheating with a dictionary takes all the fun out of it
01:16:23 * oerjan only knows that word because of narbonic.
01:16:45 <zzo38> When I play Scrabble I always do both player will use the Scrabble dictionary
01:17:00 * quintopia .oO(it seems to take oerjan about 10 seconds per line to logread)
01:17:07 <zzo38> Time limits could help too though
01:17:08 <moon_> i made a nodejs sandbox for my bot, and its pretty strong, i was wondering if you guys would help me find some exploits so i can try to patch them
01:17:59 <quintopia> that was a thought bubble. we don't need speech bubbles since we aren't being drawn into boxes on the chat, so every other text is assumed to be speech
01:18:36 * oerjan thinks zzo38 could design a chess game isomorphic to scrabble. probably.
01:19:35 <oerjan> quintopia: my backscroll reading may not always be chronological hth
01:19:52 <quintopia> oerjan: you seem to comment on it in chronological order tho
01:20:56 <oerjan> what i mean is that sometimes, i only go back because i realize i had been skipping stuff.
01:21:20 <zzo38> moon_: You would have to be careful if you want to make a Node.js sandbox properly secure. One thing to do is to ensure that the prototype of the sandbox object is null, and don't put any other objects from the outside into the sandbox.
01:21:55 <zzo38> (But this can make it difficult to do anything meaningful, so you figure it out.....)
01:22:07 * oerjan wonders if anyone's ever made an irc client that uses speech bubbles
01:22:32 <zzo38> oerjan: I think Microsoft Comic Chat might? I don't know though

01:23:22 <olsner> it crashes with common IRC servers (e.g. freenode), but puckipedia has a proxy to work around it
01:25:23 <zzo38> I don't know if possibly the V8 debugging interface might be usable for making a Node.js sandbox
01:25:55 <zzo38> Writing an extension in C++ might also help, if you know how to do that
01:30:33 <zzo38> One thing I don't know if it works, because I have not tried, is to create function outside of the sandbox, and then a function inside the sandbox wraps it (perhaps create a function that takes a function and returns a function, and call it) and passes only primitives between the inside and outside.
01:32:51 -!- MoALTz has quit (Quit: Leaving).
01:33:02 <zzo38> Running sandboxed scripts in a separate process is also something that has been suggested, so you can also try that.

02:07:29 <quintopia> this one was particularly attractive

02:08:16 * gamemanj also looks at quintopia suspiciously
02:08:37 <gamemanj> (*writes "if oerjan looks at someone suspiciously, there's usually a reason." into book*)
02:09:32 <gamemanj> maybe quintopia was referring to night coma
02:11:04 <gamemanj> well, there's an obvious solution to that
02:11:21 <gamemanj> quintopia: define "this one" in your message, "this one was particularly attractive"

02:15:06 <quintopia> unattractive chickens don't wear garterbelts hth
02:18:33 * gamemanj underlines the line about oerjan's suspicions usually being correct
02:18:56 * gamemanj then adds an additional note in the margin: "c.KTW/SJ-night"
02:21:37 * oerjan looks at gamemanj's note suspiciously
02:27:46 <quintopia> what's the fastest way to find the smallest power of 2 greater than x?
02:29:22 <gamemanj> Depends what you're implementing it in.
02:29:23 <quintopia> i mean, would it be faster to try right shift it until i get zero? or it with a left-shifted 1 til zero? god help if its actually do a log?
02:29:39 -!- copumpkin has quit (Quit: My MacBook Pro has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…).
02:29:47 <gamemanj> A shift will do it. If it does it fast, is another thing entirely.
02:29:59 <gamemanj> Technically the "fastest" implementation would be dependent on value size.
02:30:23 <gamemanj> If you had 256 values, you may - or may not - find that an array is faster than doing the calculations.
02:30:24 <quintopia> oh apparently python has a .bit_length()
02:30:51 <oerjan> didn't we already establish on a previous occasion that processors have specific instructions for this hth
02:31:21 <gamemanj> oerjan: I don't know why, it's a rare - and not that slow - operation...
02:32:07 <oerjan> gamemanj: well it may be useful in code that needs to be particularly fast
02:32:22 <gamemanj> Yes, but why would someone need that operation?
02:32:33 -!- Jafet has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
02:32:42 <oerjan> gamemanj: to implement bigints, say
02:33:00 <zzo38> Please look at information relating to TAVERN VM and tell me if it is any good and other comment such as if there is any mistake or unclear. Do you think that 32K cells (each cell stores a signed 16-bit number) is sufficient for the program code for a text adventure game and other arbitrary read-only data? (RAM, vocabulary, and most text, would be stored in separate address spaces)
02:33:00 <gamemanj> Potentially. On the other hand, how do you feed in the number to this operation?
02:33:04 <oerjan> you want to know what's the first bit you need to start working at
02:33:40 <gamemanj> zzo38: Worst case scenario, you can cheat the system, especially if the program code can read from text/vocab memory.
02:33:54 <gamemanj> zzo38: Like, write a brainfuck interpreter in program memory,
02:34:15 <gamemanj> zzo38: then put your *actual program* into a different address space.
02:34:52 <zzo38> Program code cannot read anything from text or vocab memory; it can read and write RAM, although RAM is also limited to 32K cells.
02:36:36 <zzo38> Adding an extension that would act like Z-machine's DIROUT 3 would allow reading from text memory, although another possible extension would just to allow reading text memory directly, which would be simpler and faster.
02:37:26 <zzo38> (Text memory is also limited to 32K cells, although the text is packed, and the text memory is also bankswitched, so you can store a lot of data in there.)
02:39:09 <zzo38> Adding a feature code and instruction opcode for TXT@ would allow to read the text memory; we can add this idea into the bug tracker or wiki.
02:39:24 <quintopia> how does text packing work? my best guess was always just "limiting text to a narrow range of ascii so that some bits can be discarded from each character"
02:40:02 <zzo38> You can look at the documentation if you want to know its working.
02:41:56 <zzo38> Vocabulary packing does limit text to a narrow range of ASCII though; the VOCAB.BIN lump maps vocabulary words to signed 16-bit numbers (any word not listed has a value of zero).

03:40:42 <gamemanj> That's an interesting method of adding one comma...
03:42:09 <oerjan> well the alternative would be copy/pasting
03:42:28 <gamemanj> I'm kind of wondering how "sb exb, exb" works
03:42:44 <gamemanj> and if it's actually an esoteric language, like a cyclic tag system or something
03:43:02 <oerjan> the trick is that sed's s command allows almost any delimiter character, in this case b

03:49:25 <zzo38> I thought of a idea of new kind of format of Magic: the Gathering cards. Select a block and play block constructed, but before the game starts add a Rochester draft and then sealed, the draft/sealed consisting entirely of cards whioch are not legal in the constructed block being played (banned cards may be included in the draft/sealed).
03:50:35 <zzo38> Your constructed deck may include a 15-card sideboard. Whatever your constructed deck size is (not counting sideboard) is your minimum deck size (which may be reduced by conspiracies), and whatever your constructed sideboard includes is your minimum sideboard size.
03:51:07 * oerjan suddenly notices the "man" in gamemanj's nick
03:51:52 <zzo38> Play is then scored per-duel ante, with each card legal in the block worth 2 points, and other cards worth 1 point each, and the game worth 1 point.
03:53:38 <orin> Ok, I just noticed that I drew ㎱ as rs instead of ns. I have no idea how that happened
03:54:43 <zzo38> Conspiracies that are placed into the command zone at the beginning of the game do not count toward your minimum sideboard size.
03:55:07 <gamemanj> orin: Does your font editor allow out of bounds drawing?
03:55:47 <orin> and somtimes I have stray pixels in a character
03:56:27 <orin> I forgot to finish my program that catches stray pixels
03:57:10 <zzo38> You can add additional conventional basic lands into your deck when creating it after draft/sealed or when altering the deck by exchanging cards with sideboard, but these extra lands will be lost if they are ever placed into the sideboard.

04:38:48 <orin> It isn't showing my font, it's showing some other font
04:39:05 <zzo38> gamemanj: I think they will tell you in Wikipedia; I looked it up it redirect to a different file it tell you what it means.
04:40:44 <orin> specifically, It's showing some of the characters in courier new
04:41:23 <gamemanj> orin: Are these characters always in pairs?
04:41:46 <shachaf> where is coppro/scshunt twh
04:42:34 <zzo38> orin: Then use a different program to test the font
04:43:01 <zzo38> Another thing to try is to try making a SVG document and see if it will display using the proper font if you do that.
04:43:37 <orin> http://www.orenwatson.be/fontdemo.htm <-- this displays ok for me in chrome, but in firefox
04:44:47 <orin> http://orenwatson.be/ARGH.PNG <-- I see this
04:45:44 <gamemanj> orin: It shows up in the correct Oren-Approved International Font for me
04:46:05 <zzo38> Is there possibility to download bitmap font?
04:46:17 <orin> gamemanj: in firefox?
04:46:21 <alercah> orin: red dragon mahjong tile is broken I think
04:47:06 <gamemanj> ...I don't think there are any more details to state.
04:47:35 <orin> Huh. so maybe my install of firefox is broken
04:48:07 <gamemanj> Who knows. Maybe it just doesn't like webfonts.
04:48:32 <orin> gamemanj: well I have the same version of firefox
04:49:05 <gamemanj> I'll just go searching through about:settings.
04:49:22 <gamemanj> Oh, wait, it's "about:config".

04:50:40 <gamemanj> (useful elements: .disable_cache, .enabled, .woff2.enabled)
04:51:38 <gamemanj> gfx.missing_fonts.notify is also a potentially useful setting.
04:59:05 <orin> finagling with the css...
04:59:56 <orin> reveals that chrome exhibits the same behaviour if I reorder the fonts to font-family: monospace, neoletters
05:00:29 <orin> but firefox appears to be taking the system monospace font first, even if the css says otherwise
05:00:59 <zzo38> The Infocom/runic area of UTCE still has ten unused slots, so these may be filled with additional common runes not yet included, as well as possibly the Verne runes.
05:01:28 <zzo38> orin: Did you try using the font in a SVG document instead of a HTML document and see if it works better?

05:16:41 <quintopia> so...what's the best way to take a very long list of strings, and find the longest one that matches at position 0 of another list? I have two thoughts, but would like to hear other thoughts.
05:18:29 -!- Zarutian has quit (Quit: Zarutian).
05:18:40 <gamemanj> quintopia: Does the very long list of strings change often, or does the other string change often?
05:19:07 <quintopia> the long list is persistent. the other string changes
05:19:31 <gamemanj> Perhaps pre-sort the long list so that the longer strings are first. That way, when a string matches, you can immediately return.
05:19:53 -!- Yurume_ has quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds).
05:21:10 -!- Yurume_ has joined.
05:21:14 <quintopia> it still requires a linear search through the whole thing every time, and, for each thing in the list, a linear time string comparison
05:21:30 <gamemanj> You could try turning the list of strings into a tree.

05:28:48 <quintopia> yeah a DAFSA is probs the way to go. But compiling one from a list will be a pain. I hope someone has done this before and published it...

05:54:58 <zzo38> It might take up more memory if converted to a tree, unless some compact representation of the tree in memory is used which can also be processed easily; one idea is to allow each node to contain multiple characters instead of necessarily only one per node.
05:57:24 <zzo38> orin: Three of the Powerline characters you have are things I intended already to include in the Texas Instruments block for UTCE (the TI-92 has some of them in its character set), so I may include the others also.

07:04:24 <almightynsx> im complacent and irritable because Im trying to live a great life for god. im seeing visions, ive astral projected and I want to learn everything on the internet. I have a plan to study all subjects online but I am stirr crazy wait on the time I can pursue this objective. I have no friends because of what i believe in and im lonelier than a kid with nothing to do
07:04:59 <HackEgo> almightynsx: Welcome to the international hub for esoteric programming language design and deployment! For more information, check out our wiki: <http://esolangs.org/>. (For the other kind of esoterica, try #esoteric on EFnet or DALnet.)
07:05:55 <hppavilion[1]> almightynsx: Have you been diagnosed with anything?
07:05:58 <pikhq> almightynsx: Well, to start with there is no god.
07:07:10 <zzo38> Not everyone is atheist, but if you are seeing stuff that is not there then it is hallucinations, regardless of how good or bad it is, it is still hallucinations I think.
07:08:38 <zzo38> (I consider myself as panendeist)
07:09:35 <pikhq> I have no reason to believe they are real, and have reason to believe that your senses are fallible.
07:09:47 <zzo38> Everyone's senses can be fallible.
07:09:49 <almightynsx> being in esoteric channel you should all know the visions can be real when practiced right in the context of mysicism or new age spirituality
07:10:19 <zzo38> Maybe, but it is still hallucination, and still you cannot know for sure
07:10:33 <pikhq> You can't, because I can demonstrate human senses are fallible.
07:10:38 <hppavilion[1]> That's just the thing; the fallibility of the senses is unfalsifiable
07:10:39 <zzo38> almightynsx: You can't; the best way is scientific method if possible, but even that is not perfect; only mathematics is perfect.
07:10:41 <pikhq> This is a channel for esoteric programming languages, not for esotericism.
07:11:02 <pikhq> hppavilion[1]: Well, proving they're infallible is unfalsifiable. Proving they're fallible is trivial. :)
07:11:43 <hppavilion[1]> pikhq: Though, really, all esotericness would likely still be accepted
07:11:57 <zzo38> Yes pikhq is correct. (Of course we are not always on topic (often we are not), but still, we are not the one to know a lot about esotericism in this channel, so if you ask you are unlikely to get the answer you are looking for I think)
07:12:00 <hppavilion[1]> Esolangs are just what happen when your application of esotericism is in programming
07:12:22 <zzo38> But if you have a question, the best thing to do is to ask.
07:12:24 <pikhq> hppavilion[1]: "Esotericism" tends to entail certain religious, mystic, or spiritual practices.
07:12:30 <hppavilion[1]> almightynsx: Also, learning "everything on the internet" is impossible
07:12:34 <zzo38> Even if, nobody knows the answers!
07:12:35 <pikhq> hppavilion[1]: Esoteric programming has little to do with that.
07:12:49 <hppavilion[1]> I thought Esotericism was basically the same as surrealism
07:13:32 <pikhq> No, it refers to "secret knowledge".
07:13:50 <hppavilion[1]> almightynsx: Here's a list of every website on the internet, which may be of use: http://www.internetlivestats.com/watch/websites/
07:14:11 <Jafet> wait, so this isn't the channel for esoteric projection? or channelling projects?
07:14:16 <zzo38> I doubt you can have a proper list of every website on the internet, and even if you do have it, it is not the entire internet anyways.
07:14:32 <pikhq> We're using "esoteric" in a vastly more literal sense, to say "intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people".
07:14:34 <zzo38> Jafet: It isn't, but if you have a question, ask anyways. Probably nobody knows, but how do you know until it is asked?
07:14:43 <almightynsx> i have develpoed a study plan to learn almost study on the internet
07:14:55 <pikhq> If you can apply esotericism to esoteric programming languages, though, I will be damned pleased.
07:14:58 <zzo38> Nevertheless it is probably better to ask elsewhere if there is a better place to ask.
07:15:07 <pikhq> almightynsx: I suggest starting with formal logic, personally.
07:15:50 <hppavilion[1]> almightynsx: Learn formal logic; this is 100% the best place to start
07:17:38 -!- baordog has left.
07:17:59 <zzo38> Formal logic is good, but how good it is, depend what you want to do.
07:19:06 <zzo38> Mathematics is perfect, but to figure out how the laws of physics are working you must make the scientific experiment, and such experiment is not as perfect as mathematics.
07:22:21 <zzo38> I think many people in this channel is atheist, but what is the actual proportion (approximately)?
07:23:20 <pikhq> Not sure. Probably much higher than average.
07:23:50 <zzo38> I think that the average must be the average of something. Average of what?
07:24:01 <pikhq> Average in the population at large.
07:24:33 <zzo38> All human population of the world or only of English speaking people or what?
07:25:25 <pikhq> Dunno. I was figuring more of the IRC-using population, TBH.
07:25:50 <oerjan> isn't the IRC-using population also more likely to be atheist?
07:25:56 <zzo38> Now I know what you mean now, I think.
07:26:02 <zzo38> oerjan: I don't know?
07:26:18 <oerjan> simply from being nerdy
07:26:29 <pikhq> oerjan: Yes, that much is true.
07:27:49 <zzo38> Although I do not consider myself atheist but I consider myself as panendeist, although since it is difficult to know exactly what such classifications are meaning and some people's classifications may consider my beliefs as atheist even though I don't quite think so.
07:29:02 <zzo38> I don't use Facebook
07:30:11 <oerjan> i don't have the impression facebook is popular here, either. (i don't have it.)
07:30:32 <pikhq> I think I'm friends on Facebook with all the #esoteric people who use Facebook. :P

07:44:09 <shachaf> If Facebook added Gopher support would you use it?
07:46:34 <zzo38> Facebook is not useful to me.
07:47:08 <shachaf> Don't you want to connect with friends and the world around you?
07:48:15 <almightynsx> yes but no one likes me because of the topics i am dealing with in my life
07:48:17 <zzo38> I can do that just by talking to them, although in many cases I do not need to.
07:48:42 <almightynsx> new age spirituality, visions of god, learning everything on the internet
07:49:11 <zzo38> As has been said before, you cannot "learn everything on the internet".
07:50:32 <zzo38> Either way you try to parse that, it won't work even if you are success you will still fail.
07:54:10 <zzo38> Maybe you can find a book about such thing as new age spirituality, visions of god, but possibly you don't find? Then you must write a book. But of course book is not the only one, also computer, too.
07:55:51 <zzo38> If you are trying to ask other people how to interpret whatever hallucinations you are having, then I do not know how I could possibly answer such question, because I am not you.
07:58:53 <almightynsx> i just want to know advise on how to go about learning everything on the internet and if my visions are because im schizophrenic or because god loves me
08:00:30 <zzo38> Probably it is because schizophrenic (although I am not a doctor and do not know much of schizophrenia so I cannot say this properly), but maybe there can be possibility to be both? Or, they can be inspire you for such thing.
08:02:01 <almightynsx> i see the devil and talk to him audiably and i wonder why im not like the rest of the world
08:02:41 <zzo38> Try asking a doctor and see if they know the answer. Possibly they don't, but I think it is worth a try.
08:03:26 <almightynsx> but they dont know much about hullucinations
08:03:42 <zzo38> Ask someone who does know.
08:04:53 <zzo38> But you cannot learning everything on the internet; there are many different protocols, port numbers, file formats, languages, passwords, encrypted data, and other stuff; and also temporal, which also makes it impossible.
08:05:20 -!- adu has quit (Quit: adu).
08:05:57 <zzo38> Yes, and I think you can learn some things from that
08:06:33 <almightynsx> im going to spend 5-10 years learning all the internet opencourseware
08:06:56 <zzo38> Well, I suppose you can do that at least.
08:08:42 <almightynsx> i think if i combined all the sciences and learn them all i would know all science which in on is all conscience con=with science=knowledge
08:09:09 <zzo38> No, that is impossible.
08:09:12 -!- hppavilion[1] has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
08:09:32 <zzo38> Also, just if the word can be combine like such does not even make it possible.
08:11:11 <zzo38> It seems it is how etymology of "conscience", but just because it is how etymology does not do.
08:11:23 <almightynsx> well i would have a very good working knowledge of the universe, would you think?
08:12:04 <zzo38> The more you know, more you can know that you don't know.
08:12:36 <shachaf> The less you know, more you can know that you don't know.
08:13:54 <zzo38> Partially, but also if you know then it must be something you know. Even all law of physics and stuff all scientist even won't know perfectly!
08:14:04 <almightynsx> i know that i wont know all but i atleast will know alot
08:14:31 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: Nite).
08:14:39 <almightynsx> what do you think of the plan though? any advise on the idea of learning all opencourseware?
08:14:40 <zzo38> Yes, you would know more than if you don't study it at all.
08:14:54 <zzo38> It is good to learn.
08:15:08 <almightynsx> im scared in going to die if i learn all that
08:15:13 <zzo38> I don't know how much is all opencourseware anyways though, so I cannot answer.
08:15:29 <zzo38> Everyone will die regardless; it is the matter of time.
08:16:41 <almightynsx> well im a christian a bigger question that ive pondered is i might go to hell for learning all of this. what do you say to that?
08:16:59 <zzo38> I think that is irrelevant.
08:17:11 <zzo38> I also do not think that is how it is supposed to work anyways.
08:17:39 <zzo38> (Also I am not Christian)
08:17:50 <zzo38> What denomination are you anyways though?
08:20:26 <zzo38> To see why you might expect to go to hell for learning all of this, mainly.
08:22:20 <zzo38> That you are nondenominational Christian. I do not actually know a lot about such things anyways to answer such question, but if answer is posted, then it can help if anyone does know how to answer your question better based on that
08:29:35 <almightynsx> thanks for the advise this is the best conversation ive had in awhile
08:31:14 <zzo38> Sometimes by hallucination can be inspiration of something, such as, I think Principia Discordia was written like that.
08:32:31 <zzo38> Even when you are sleeping, can be dream and can be hallucination and that too can be inspiration of something, such as, I have seen a chess puzzle that was claimed to be invented in that way.

21:58:21 <Zarutian> are turtle graphics strings considered esolangs in somesense? Specially if they started out as the result of a Lindenmeyer-system substitution?

22:02:55 <gamemanj> Maybe if you defined the "complete" language (defining the Lindenmeyer-system definition language, and the accepted turtle graphics results) as an esolang?

22:53:53 <hppavilion[1]> When human cloning is a thing, how will it fit into a family?
22:54:32 <hppavilion[1]> A clone is genetically the same as a twin sibling (unless you modify their genes), but they can be several years younger
22:54:48 <hppavilion[1]> So you might treat them as a brother/sister, making a clone's wife your sister-in-law
22:56:16 <hppavilion[1]> 52% of identical twins that have one gay member are both gay
22:56:33 <hppavilion[1]> There's no all-powerful gay gene that singlehandedly determines orientation
22:57:46 <myname> do you have a source for that 52%
22:58:23 <hppavilion[1]> Bailey JM, Pillard, RC (1991). "A Genetic Study of Male Sexual Orientation". Archives of General Psychiatry. 48 (12): 1089–96. doi:10.1001/archpsyc.1991.01810360053008. PMID 1845227.
22:58:56 <hppavilion[1]> The study has been criticized for possible selection bias, in that gay twins are more likely to participate
22:59:04 <myname> i wonder if a repeating study will,yield the same result
22:59:28 <myname> 52% sounds like way too high
23:00:23 <myname> if ypu count these as independent or close, it should be way less
23:00:23 <hppavilion[1]> myname: As in, if you identical twin is gay, the study finds that in 52% of cases, you're gay too
23:01:37 <hppavilion[1]> And since identical twins' DNA is virtually identical, this casts /serious/ doubt on the idea of a "gay gene"
23:02:27 <hppavilion[1]> (keep in mind, I'm not saying that this means that- since being gay is the result of nurture- this changes anything about gay rights; just because it's not genetic doesn't mean it's invalid; but now we can't use the gay gene argument any more)
23:03:05 <myname> the thing is, if it has _nothing_ to do with genes (which is what i'd assume) it should be way more towards the general percentage
23:04:19 <hppavilion[1]> myname: But this is just debunking the typical interpretation of a "gay gene"- some sort of all-powerful gene that, when active, makes you gay in 100% of cases and when not present makes you straight
23:04:43 <hppavilion[1]> Where, no matter how you're raised, the presence of such a gene will make you gay
23:05:01 <myname> what wikipedia article is this from
23:05:16 <hppavilion[1]> myname: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biology_and_sexual_orientation#Twin_studies
23:06:20 <hppavilion[1]> I've heard that transgender...ness is the result of your mothers body giving too much or too little testosterone to a developing fetus, causing its body to develop incorrectly against its genes
23:06:46 <hppavilion[1]> (Not sure if this is true, and it probably isn't. But it might be. I don't know.)
23:07:06 <hppavilion[1]> But this leads me to wondering if identical twins have ever developed where that happened to one but not the other
23:07:59 <hppavilion[1]> Oh, wait, a later study (2000) found results closer to the population average
23:08:23 <myname> i am wondering how many of those gay twins are attracted to each other
23:09:05 <hppavilion[1]> myname: Probably 100% of them when they also have narcissistic personality disorder
