01:12:01 <hppavilion[1]> I'm surprised nobody ever invented a Lunacentric model of the universe
01:12:45 <myname> maybe because you can actually see with your bare eyes that this is wrong
01:14:42 <myname> you can easily define itnup to 36

01:17:06 <myname> 1 to 0 and a to z (the later in order of appearance on your keyboard layout"
01:17:25 <myname> last time.i checked, 10+26 was 36
01:18:30 <shachaf> But Alt-a already means "jump to window with activity".
01:18:46 <shachaf> Alt-b and alt-f mean jump backward and forward by a word
01:18:48 <myname> i don't see how that's useful
01:18:57 <shachaf> Alt-a is the most useful of all the keys.
01:19:15 <shachaf> Alt-d means delete a word.
01:19:19 <myname> how so? i see which window has activities and jump to it directly

04:21:28 <hppavilion[1]> tswett: The lunacentric model wouldn't exist because someone just thought of it; it would either be cultural or as a parodical response to either geocentrists or heliocentrists
04:21:59 <hppavilion[1]> Probably something made around when heliocentrism was proposed, as a "yeah, that's just as absurd as this other thing"
04:24:17 <tswett> I just read this post on the MIRI blog.
04:24:41 <tswett> It posits an interesting type of machine: the "reflective oracle".
04:24:54 <tswett> Lemme talk about how the reflective oracle works.
04:26:12 <tswett> A "reflective oracle machine", or ROM, is a Turing machine that is capable of performing a special operation, the reflective oracle operation.
04:27:13 <tswett> The reflective oracle operation attempts to answer this question: "Would a reflective oracle machine halt if given such-and-such input?"
04:27:40 <tswett> Now, reflective oracle machines are probabilistic, so the reflective oracle operation can't give the correct answer all of the time.
04:27:45 <tswett> But here's what it does do.
04:28:18 <tswett> If there's MORE than a 50% chance that a ROM would halt given the input, it says "yes".
04:28:31 <tswett> If there's LESS than a 50% chance that a ROM would halt given the input, it says "no".
04:28:50 <tswett> And finally, if there's EXACTLY a 50% chance that a ROM would halt given the input, then the result is unspecified.
04:30:06 <tswett> It could always be yes, it could always be no, or it could be random.
04:39:58 <tswett> I'm gonna write up an Esolang page describing a language that takes advantage of this.
04:40:22 <tswett> This is the blog post, by the way. https://intelligence.org/2016/06/30/grain-of-truth/
04:41:45 <tswett> The name I'm going to give it is the most obvious abbreviation of the phrase "Brainfuck Reflective Oracle Machine".

05:17:17 <zzo38> How do I add the proper text into a contributing agreement to ensure that any patents will be freely usable and will be usable with GPL-compatible terms, even though the contribution is in the public domain?
05:19:38 <Sgeo> tswett, bah, unlike the "true/false/no answer" halting oracle, there's no trivial implementation I think
05:19:51 <tswett> zzo38: any patents on what?
05:20:37 <zzo38> Patents on the contributed code.
05:21:10 <tswett> On the code that *you* contribute? You don't need to say anything; other people can't patent stuff that you invented.
05:21:43 <zzo38> The agreement is for if anyone contribute something, not just myself
05:23:04 <tswett> If anyone contributes something to what? A project that you control, or a project someone else controls?
05:23:12 <zzo38> A project that I control.
05:25:08 <zzo38> I have been asked to make a contribution agreement, and part of the details about how to do so are specified (the part about copyright), but part about patent is also needed. My intention is that the patent is freely license for use with free-software/open-source without needing any kind of notifications or payments or whatever, and can be used freely by private use, and is compatible with the terms of GPL3.
05:26:33 <tswett> You could say that each contributor must release their contribution into the public domain AND release it under the GPL3.
05:38:44 <tswett> http://lpaste.net/179185 - someone post this to the wiki thanks.
05:38:51 <zzo38> That seem a bit strange to me isn't it?
05:39:40 <tswett> The GPL3 is primarily a copyright license, and of course the copyright provisions of the license are redundant with being in the public domain.
05:39:45 <tswett> But it's a patent license too.
05:40:00 <tswett> So I feel like this is probably your easiest, simplest, and most effective option.
05:40:03 <alercah> it is not a patent license
05:40:15 <alercah> it is a coppyright license that, as a condition of copying, requires a patent license
05:40:58 <tswett> It says: "Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license ..."

05:47:39 <alercah> because otherwise your license could be changed when a third party distributes it
05:48:32 <zzo38> I only wish to ensure that nobody contributes patent encumbered code to the main repository for my program.
05:48:40 <zzo38> If someone makes their own copy, they can do what they want with it.
05:49:12 <quintopia> Lymia: although i would appreciate it more if you could please avoid the use of any brackets? and also call the result "look_ma_no_brackets"?
05:50:14 <Lymia> .... I'm not 100% sure that's possible.
05:50:38 <Lymia> The ultimate goal is to have a big list of bots *not* on the hill.
05:51:01 <Lymia> And distinguish as many of them as possible to go into a "general purpose" algorithm so it still beats bots that aren't known.
05:51:02 <quintopia> well...there comes a certain number of bots where it isn't possible
05:52:18 <Lymia> http://pastebin.com/6sXxNmi5
05:52:48 <zzo38> If someone make the software proprietary then I don't care, but I do intend to stop them from suing anyone (under patent law) that does not make the software proprietary. And that they will agree to license the patents in a way compatible with GPL3, too.
05:53:12 <alercah> probably easiest to just use GPLv3 then
05:53:22 <Lymia> Now for debugging.

05:56:48 <Lymia> quintopia, problem is
05:57:00 <Lymia> That could be because it's evaluating preperation wrong, or because I have some weird issue.

05:59:54 <zzo38> This is what I wrote for my contribution agreement is it good? http://sprunge.us/DHTW (the LICENSE file is a copy of the CC0 legal code)
06:00:38 <Lymia> quintopia, I'm not actually sure if my VM is slow, actually.
06:00:44 <tswett> zzo38: no, the second paragraph is unclear.
06:00:51 <Lymia> Or if some programs just have nasty constructs that mess with it.
06:01:04 <Lymia> I hope I'm not using linked lists for the bytecode.
06:01:55 <Lymia> I forgot Scala's default immutable list isn't for indexing

06:02:54 <tswett> zzo38: as for the first paragraph: I would say "you place" and "you grant the ability" instead of "you agree to place" and "you agree to grant the ability".
06:02:57 <Lymia> There we go, fixed that
06:03:18 <tswett> I think I read once that it was found that "agreeing to release" something under a license is not the same as *actually* releasing it.

06:05:25 <zzo38> How to fix the second paragraph?
06:05:36 <tswett> zzo38: as for the second paragraph, I don't see why you don't just say "If you have any patents in your contributions, you also release your contributions under the GPL3."
06:05:38 <quintopia> Lymia: i think the output may not be what you intended? because if you watch vs preparation length 30 kettle you see it eventually stops going back to its own flag and instead goes somewhere a few cells out? or is that intentional?
06:05:49 <Lymia> That's a fixed bug
06:06:26 <Lymia> I don't see how it could bug like that, unless somehow it failed to track it's own data pointer
06:07:57 <Lymia> quintopia, it's probably actually an detection failure.
06:08:05 <Lymia> I'm using [] for if/else
06:08:13 <Lymia> And it probably looped back, which isn't supposed to happen.
06:08:18 <zzo38> tswett: I intend this patent license is usable even if the code remains public-domain/CC0 or they make derivative works that may be license by BSD or MIT license or Apache license and not only limited to GPL3, but so that the patent license does not prohibit anything that is prohibited by GPL3.
06:09:27 <tswett> With dual licensing, the permissions add together.
06:09:33 <zzo38> But if they want to license the patent in such a way that it cannot be used in proprietary software, that is OK and should not be impacted by this agreement. (I actually think that patent law should be abolished entirely, but such agreements obviously don't change the law.)
06:09:52 <tswett> If your contributors release everything under both CC0 and GPL3, then people will be allowed to use it as if it were only released under CC0.

06:29:43 <zzo38> tswett: Yes I know that, but I would insist that any patent license is also usable according to the specifications of GPL3 even if they are using it only under CC0 or any other GPL-compatible license.
06:30:34 <zzo38> Will what you suggested work for this case?
06:35:23 <tswett> Well, that's a good question.
06:35:56 <tswett> If your contributors dual-license under CC0 and GPL3, then people will certainly be able to "use the patent license according to the specifications of GPL3".
06:36:17 <tswett> But they won't be able to use the patent license in violation of the GPL3.
06:36:56 <zzo38> As long as the patent license can be used even if the software is not licensed under GPL3.
06:39:23 <alercah> zzo38: what do you mean "can be used"?
06:39:38 <alercah> Do you wish to require people who modify your software to license any related patents?
06:39:48 <alercah> if so, a dual-license will not achieve that objective
06:40:00 <zzo38> No. I intend they can use it for free even if they do not license it
06:40:12 <alercah> I do not think we are talking about the same thing
06:40:28 <alercah> Let's suppose I am someone who modifies your software.
06:40:37 <alercah> Who owns the patent you are referring to? Me or you
06:41:00 <zzo38> Neither me nor you; it is someone who contributed code to my project.
06:42:06 <alercah> Ok. So you want people who contribute to your project to issue a patent license, but if they distribute a modified version themselves they do not have to?
06:42:26 <zzo38> Now I am confused too.
06:43:14 <alercah> Ok, let's say you release version 1.0 of your program.
06:43:14 <zzo38> Perhaps I should just mention that they have to agree that everyone has a perpetual non-revocable royalty-free patent license to use the relevant patents and that they are not allowed to sue anyone over these patents.
06:43:20 <zzo38> That would be simpler, I think.
06:43:40 <zzo38> (If someone objects, they could file a ticket and then perhaps it could be changed.)
06:43:42 <alercah> tswett submits a patch which is included in v1.1
06:43:57 <alercah> you want to make it so that tswett can't sue me?
06:44:49 <tswett> zzo38: uh, lemme see if I can clarify here...
06:44:49 <zzo38> Yes. I intend that tswett can't sue you, even if you use the same patented stuff in other free-software/open-source code (such as that based on v1.0 instead of v1.1, for example).
06:45:14 <alercah> zzo38: but now if tswett makes a fork
06:45:17 <tswett> No... I don't really know what you're asking.
06:45:27 <alercah> and I use the fork in a way he doesn't like
06:45:44 <alercah> do you want to stop him from suing me then? or only when it's your "official" version?
06:46:03 <zzo38> I intend such fork still you have the license for any patents used in that one that are also used in the official version.
06:46:21 <zzo38> And therefore still they cannot sue you
06:46:55 <alercah> but what if the patents are not included in the official version?
06:47:48 <zzo38> Then it is irrelevant as it does not seem to be in the scope of contribution agreement.
06:48:28 <zzo38> (I would want to still not make them to sue you, but I cannot alter the laws and that is outside of the scope of the agreement anyways, so it doesn't seem right to put it in.)
06:49:54 <alercah> in that case, yeah, you want CC0 licensing with a contribution agreement that states that you offer a patent license
06:50:08 <alercah> *that the contributor offers a patent license
06:50:33 <alercah> you could probably add a note to the license indicating that all contributors have agreed to license their patents as described
06:52:22 <zzo38> If I altered the license then it would not be the CC0 license.
06:53:22 <alercah> you are not altering the copyright license
06:53:41 <alercah> but adding a patent license
06:54:00 <alercah> drawing the user's attention to an extant patent license
06:58:57 <Lymia> quintopia, anyway, yeah.
06:59:18 <Lymia> Now that I'm using an actual array instead of a linked list (the nasty part about collections libraries. :()
06:59:23 <Lymia> It runs in 1 minute instead of 2 days. :D
07:07:39 <zzo38> Is this better now? http://sprunge.us/WKZW
07:08:57 <zzo38> A trademark agreement also might be needed which specifies that if your contribution includes anything that is trademarked, that such trademarks can be used for compatibility purposes. Is this already implied by trademark law anyways though? I would think it is but I am unsure.
07:09:00 -!- augur has joined.
07:09:44 <tswett> I think you probably don't have to worry about trademark.
07:10:23 <zzo38> Is the patent license better now?
07:10:32 <tswett> Fair use for trademark is very broad. "Coca-Cola" is a trademark, but I can still say it in IRC, write a book about Coca-Cola, make a YouTube video where I sing a song about Coca-Cola...
07:11:25 <tswett> The only thing I'm prohibited from doing is make people think I'm providing a Coca-Cola product or service, or otherwise representing the Coca-Cola brand in any way.
07:12:26 <tswett> I can even say "Coca-Cola" in an advertisement for a competing soft drink, as long as the ad makes it clear that the soft drink is not a Coca-Cola product.
07:13:22 <zzo38> I think that ReactOS has "Microsoft" in some parts of the registry for compatibility purposes, and a GameBoy cartridge can include the Nintendo logo for compatibility with GameBoy; these are what I meant by, ensure it can be used for compatibility purposes.
07:13:46 <tswett> That's definitely allowed under fair use.
07:14:07 <zzo38> OK, then I do not need to add a trademark license to this agreement.
07:15:00 <zzo38> But, is the patent license better now?
07:15:57 <tswett> Yes, I think I like it. I'm no lawyer, of course. There's just one change I suggest.
07:16:11 <zzo38> OK, what change do you suggest?
07:16:12 <tswett> Change "multiple tiers" to "an unlimited number of tiers".
07:18:22 <zzo38> I took everything from "perpetual" to "otherwise transfer" (inclusive) from another contribution agreement (and it seems similar to many things I have seen before too), although I will change that, as it doesn't seem a problem to change that.
07:19:35 <zzo38> (All words surrounding that part are my own)
07:25:47 <zzo38> Now I have fixed it http://zzo38computer.org/fossil/tavern.ui/info/684ffedc2a64e609 http://zzo38computer.org/fossil/tavern.ui/info/e71ea80bbdcb339b

10:06:26 <oerjan> indeed, that is sufficient

10:08:40 <oerjan> and also seems to have caught a legitimate user who happened not to be logged in
10:08:43 <Taneb> Why are we being targeted? It's hardly a high traffic wiki
10:08:57 <oerjan> Taneb: i assume they're targeting everyone
10:09:46 <oerjan> the new system is still based on the assumption that, other than captcha solvers, we're not _specifically_ targeted.
10:10:35 <int-e> or perhaps they target wikis with between 500 and 5000 articles; wikis large enough to carry weight in a search engine but so small that they may be unmaintained.
10:11:02 <int-e> (I pulled those numbers out of a hat)

10:12:22 <oerjan> they had not cleaned up spam created pages at _all_ - but made sure nothing important linked to them.
10:12:48 <int-e> when did we reach the 1k mark anyway?

10:15:31 <int-e> huh, it says 5738 here. oh perhaps because I'm not logged in and seeing a cached version
10:16:07 <int-e> yup, logging in makes a difference
10:17:03 <oerjan> hm, the complexity zoo random button seems to give proper pages now. although i had to press it twice for some reason.

15:32:07 <nortti> I've been trying to think of a faster algorithm for greater-than comparison of von-neuman-index encoded natural numbers (that might not be the correct term, it was used in setbang posts but I was unable to find same description under that name elsewhere)
15:33:16 <nortti> basically, von-neuman-index encoding works by representing a number as the set of two's exponents that added up make the number
15:33:37 <nortti> and this is applied recursively
15:34:20 <nortti> I(∅) = 0 I({a, b, c, …}) = 2^I(a) + 2^I(b) + 2^I(c) + …
15:35:41 <nortti> currently, to determine if a > b, I first remove the intersection of the two sets from both (as this is equivalent to substraction, will not change the result of a > b)
15:36:15 <nortti> then, if a is ∅, it's false, and if a is not ∅ but b is ∅, it's true
15:37:44 <nortti> if both a and b are not ∅, I iterate through elements in a, looking for element e_a in a such that for any element e_b in b, e_a > e_b
15:38:06 <nortti> if I find such an element, a is greater than b
15:40:24 <nortti> this is basically removing bits both a and b have, and then seeing which one has higher highest-order-bit. as bits shared by both are removed, one of them is bound to have a higher one. and since 2^(n+1) > sum_{i=0}^n 2^n, that one is larger
15:41:26 <nortti> however, the algo is pretty bad runtimewise, recursively calling itself N(a) * N(b) times in the worst case
15:44:27 <myname> i'd try unifying stuff, but that probably won't do much to the runtime
15:45:39 <myname> the thing is, I({a,b}) = I({c,d}) isn't it?
15:46:09 <myname> as long as a,b,c,d are empty sets, that is
15:46:38 <nortti> it's a set. it can only contain one empty set
15:48:01 <myname> still, how do you intersect?
15:48:16 <nortti> I take the insersection of two sets
15:48:37 <myname> well yeah, but how do you do it on an algorithmical level
15:48:59 <myname> since the sets can be arbitrarily deep, solving intersection should be as hard as solving >
15:49:07 <nortti> I'm currently implementing this with python and frozenset()
15:49:30 <nortti> which aiui uses hashing
15:49:56 <nortti> so intersection is just taking the hashes the two sets have in common
15:57:45 <Lymia> What'd I change, why is this code vulnerable to locks now
15:57:54 <Lymia> Or I assume that's what's happening anyway

17:02:10 <Taneb> Are there any languages which parse reals differently depending on locale
17:02:33 <Taneb> Like, with a continental Europe locale 3,1415 would be roughly pi?
17:03:55 <FireFly> it also changes function names depending on locale, for extra fun
17:04:22 <ais523> Taneb: most languages do that if you turn locale handling on
17:04:27 <ais523> however it is off by default in C
17:04:53 <ais523> (but it's a global setting so it's not unheard of for someone other part of the code to turn it on by mistake)
17:05:35 <FireFly> Oh, I was assuming in source code
17:05:47 <FireFly> and not functions parsing/prettyprinting reals
17:06:51 <ais523> in that case the language parser would have to be /really/ screwed up

18:27:48 <ais523> you could try looking at a trace of how the program runs and comparing it to a trace produced by your VM
18:27:51 <ais523> waterfall3 has a ton of cases
18:28:04 <ais523> so it's not easy to guess which one's causing the problem, initially
18:28:30 <ais523> is kiseki built with a counter-everything algorithm?
18:28:34 <ais523> or is it juts really good?
18:29:02 <Lymia> It's autogenerated to counter everything.
18:29:40 <ais523> hmm, this might actually be the end of BF Joust in this case
18:29:48 <ais523> because it's likely to be trivial to beat by a newly written program
18:30:00 <ais523> the original version of BF Joust kept the source code secret, at least for a while

19:02:58 * oerjan is pondering how to make the link in ais523's new filter's error message open in a new tab/window, and sadly concludes that mediawiki makes that ridiculously complicated and probably needs the LinkTarget extension
19:03:33 <oerjan> (i think it should do that so that people don't accidentally get their edits deleted in a stressful situation)
19:03:40 <ais523> you either need an extention or to rewrite the link using JavaScript
19:04:03 <Lymia> That's two programming games based on BF I've done bad things to.
19:04:05 <shachaf> whoa, is that the British spelling?

19:04:34 <ais523> then the link doesn't get rewritten

19:06:57 <FireFly> Lymia: which is the other BF-based game?
19:07:19 <Lymia> I didn't really break-break it, but.
19:07:23 <ais523> FukYorBrane is mathematically broken because you can write a program which will always beat all programs that are shorter than it by more than a certain proportion
19:07:34 <ais523> meaning that optimal strategy is to take that program and keep making it longer
19:07:38 <ais523> I never bothered to actually write it though
19:07:50 <Lymia> I found out that in fukyerbrane, @@ lets you set the data pointer
19:07:57 <Lymia> Probably not an intentional primitive.
19:08:38 <ais523> oh, I was using a trick involving defecting and loops
19:08:58 <ais523> in order to teleport the IP faster than the other program's speed of light
19:09:17 <ais523> thus giving you a certain length of time where you were guaranteed to be not interfered with
19:09:41 <fizzie> quintopia: Yeah, the breakdown + "X wins" message is from the gearlance results, while the game browser is a forked copy of egojsout. They did produce identical results for the hill I started from (comparing the outputs is part of my regression test suite), but I guess something's wrong.
19:09:49 <fizzie> (I'm still trying to be away and make dinner.)
19:11:58 <Lymia> Constructing a minimum error case is harder than I thought

19:13:32 <quintopia> Lymia: neither of those programs use *-1
19:13:52 <myname> Lymia: how do you use @@?
19:13:54 <Lymia> You might have found another. \o/
19:14:22 <quintopia> Lymia: most likely, but i don't have the gumption to track it down atm
19:14:23 <ais523> "%-1" is a dubious concept as it is
19:15:07 <quintopia> ais523: nah. makes perfect sense. -1 is shorthand for "the maximum allowed number of repetitions"
19:15:23 <quintopia> supposed to be up to the interpreter to figure out what it means
19:15:29 <ais523> I don't like that shorthand because it makes - parse ambiguously
19:15:38 <ais523> although I implemented it in juiced anyway because people keep using it
19:17:16 <quintopia> ais523: it doesn't actually seem ambiguous though, since - should only appear after * or % in precisely this context. I would consider a * or % not followed by a - or number a syntax error in a bfjoust program
19:17:35 <ais523> it's not ambiguous from the point of view of parsing
19:17:40 <ais523> nor really from the point of view of tokenisation
19:17:56 <ais523> but it still feels like it violates the spirit of BF to use the same character for two different things
19:19:07 <FireFly> could have used some other glyph for it, like _ or something
19:20:11 <quintopia> or just not include it, and require programmers to type 1111111111 or something (is that long enough for the average "maximum repetitions"?)
19:21:31 <ais523> unless you're repeating one character as your entire program
19:21:35 <ais523> in which case you need one extra copy
19:22:26 <quintopia> i'd go with 111111 just because the 1s look cleaner :D

19:30:58 <oerjan> oh right, _all_ tape lengths. so they just have to work for one.
19:31:42 <oerjan> and you can choose which.
19:33:18 <oerjan> hm would it be possible to reduce the 3 to 2
19:33:29 <Lymia> My defense algorithm isn't good enough to kill the whole hill at once without using brackets. :(
19:33:34 <Lymia> It tries! (but fails and dies)
19:34:38 <oerjan> (as in, do you actually need the programs that don't modify their own flag)
19:38:33 <FreeFull> I've had a cool idea for an esoteric language, but I don't know if someone else has come up with the same thing and implemented it already
19:38:43 <FreeFull> Essentially, it's a language that gets executed "backwards in time"
19:39:18 <FreeFull> So Hello, World! would be something like fn main() { let x = read_line(); assert(x == "Hello, World!"); }
19:39:51 <FreeFull> If something inconsistent happens, the program will terminate with a "paradox"
19:41:14 <Lymia> ais523, https://github.com/Lymia/BFJoust-Utils
19:41:18 <Lymia> If you want to look over my generators.
19:41:19 <ais523> FreeFull: WUUI uses a similar principle
19:41:28 <ais523> although to a different end
19:41:34 <Lymia> This is a bit of a hack job
19:42:24 -!- sebbu has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds).
19:42:41 <FreeFull> The challenge would be getting a language like this to actually do some useful computation, rather than just verify the user's input
19:43:00 <FreeFull> Also I think implementing it will be hard
19:43:19 <ais523> WUUI is easy to implement but very hard to implement efficiently
19:45:23 <FreeFull> fn main() { let a = 0, b = 1; loop *3 { print(a); print(b); a += b; b += a; } } will have the user enter the fibonnacci sequence backwards, otherwise the program terminates with a paradox
19:45:52 <Lymia> What do I even put on BF Joust strategies?
19:45:55 <FreeFull> The individual lines wouldn't be backwards, for convenience
19:46:47 <FreeFull> With terminal trickery by the end you can even make it look like the program was executed and printed out the fibonacci sequence by itself ;)
19:47:12 <ais523> Lymia: I guess you could just explain that it was found by computer search to beat all existing programs
19:47:55 <Lymia> It ha some semblance of a strategy.
19:48:10 <Lymia> It aggressively distinguishes different programs using []
19:48:26 <Lymia> Then switches between a defense and attack loop to kill stuff off.

20:15:38 <hppavilion[1]> For example, if one crime C is considered 1/100th as bad as another crime D, then usually the punishment for D will be 100 times worse than that for C
20:16:14 <hppavilion[1]> But you can make a statistically similar system by, instead of putting people guilty of D in prison for 10 years and people guilty of C in prison for 0.1

22:40:08 <quintopia> i don't belive you. that couldn't have happened
22:40:36 <hppavilion[1]> quintopia: Past-impossible is for things that were true but now aren't, but where the external facts haven't changed
22:40:53 <hppavilion[1]> Like referring to someone who, in the past, did not know the (still-the-same) location of New Jerseey
22:41:10 <hppavilion[1]> You could say "E didn't know where New Jersey was", but that implies that New Jersey isn't there any more
22:41:42 <hppavilion[1]> Or "E didn't know where New Jersey is", but people don't like that
22:41:44 <quintopia> didnt know where new jersey is leaves unanswered whether they know now
22:42:26 <Taneb> He didn't know where New Jersey had been going to be
22:42:49 <hppavilion[1]> Taneb: No, that implies New Jersey was going to move (and since has), but that he wasn't informed of the new location
22:43:06 <quintopia> how about a tense for things that were true in the past but it is expressly uncertain whether they are currently true

23:15:05 <tswett> bronchy (n.) Look up broint at Dictionary.com
23:15:05 <tswett> masc. proper name, from Proto-Germanic *brandin (cognates: Gaulish desma, Old Frisian biflie, Old Irish bingane) "to gritter, quirtly, diamon" (cognate with Old Saxon bindre), from dsanque "near with sheeper, drink, chronal, grow," from PIE root *dhan- "to fees-wittle" (see the Anauil).

23:30:01 <hppavilion[1]> Zarutian: I was always under the impression ∫ was stylistic, not a distinct letter (like þe difference between single- and double-story 'a' and 'g')
23:30:57 <myname> hppavilion[1]: it wasn't a distinct letter
23:31:31 <myname> it is basically the same as s, but you write it if not at the beginning of a syllable
23:32:35 <hppavilion[1]> (Maybe I could make a Firefox extension þat turns 'þ' into 'th' in a search?)
23:33:11 <hppavilion[1]> I'm considering turning 'ng' to 'ŋ' as well; should I?
