00:58:42 <Zarutian> I take as granted that people here have seen SmallTalk80|Squeak blocks, yes?
00:59:55 <zzo38> http://www.dwheeler.com/trusting-trust/dissertation/html/wheeler-trusting-trust-ddc.html I look at this a bit (haven't read it entirely, yet), and actually even before looking at that document and hearing/reading the issues involved, I have thought of other ways. Such as, write a BASIC interpreter in C and a C compiler in BASIC; and possibly, make a program that does not actually produce an executable but instead something else such as writing the
01:00:46 <Zarutian> zzo38: your message got cut off at: else such as writing the

01:02:47 <oerjan> Zarutian: at least ais523 must, since Feather is supposed to be based on smalltalk
01:03:29 <Zarutian> zzo38: well another way is to do an Initial Program Load by hand and load in a Forth. Then use that to load a small C compiler written in Forth. Then use that C compiler to compile a bigger one.
01:04:24 <Zarutian> oerjan: I took me a while to notice that there were no control flow statements in that Smalltalk at all.

05:12:24 <oerjan> it's been there for a long time
05:12:37 <oerjan> since andreou got deregistered, maybe
05:14:59 <oerjan> of course, i don't know what powers arbitrary staff has
05:15:22 <oerjan> perhaps he can just tell chanserv to op him anywhere
05:16:01 <shachaf> Maybe he can do that but he isn't supposed to unless a channel has freenode-staff in the op list.
05:16:28 <oerjan> i'm skeptical that it matters.
05:16:46 <shachaf> maybe you should swat him and see what happens hth
05:16:59 <shachaf> what do you think about fft
05:17:22 <oerjan> it's fast, it's furry, it's transformational.
05:17:59 <shachaf> I went to conal's talk about it the other day: http://conal.net/talks/generic-fft.pdf
05:18:37 <shachaf> But maybe I don't fully understand it.
05:19:04 * oerjan doesn't really know what the trick is, he just knows fourier transforms in general. and has forgotten most of the proof details.
05:19:14 <shachaf> What do you do if you want to do FFT of a prime size?
05:20:00 <oerjan> fourier transforms work in any locally compact abelian group.
05:20:25 <shachaf> oerjan: The trick seems to be that if you do an FFT of size N*M, you can do a nested FFT of size M and N.
05:20:32 <shachaf> But a bunch of things cancel out so you can do less work.
05:21:03 <oerjan> well that's just taking product of groups
05:21:18 <oerjan> assuming M and N are relatively prime
05:21:46 <shachaf> Though there's a special version that uses relatively prime M and N.
05:21:58 <shachaf> But often people use a power of 2, and one of M or N is 2.
05:23:33 <zzo38> shachaf: There is no "Bandit" subtype I think?
05:23:42 <shachaf> zzo38: That's true, but there is a Bandit card.
05:23:47 <shachaf> So they could probably add the subtype.
05:23:56 <zzo38> If such a subtype is added, then, possibly (if the card to surround might help)
05:24:12 <shachaf> Or they could add a Bandit supertype.
05:24:52 <zzo38> Neither seems needed to me actually
05:25:06 <shachaf> I guess they could just add a Bandit type, in that case.
05:25:19 <zzo38> That also doesn't seem right
05:25:30 <zzo38> Subtype would be best if they were to add it at all.
05:28:20 <zzo38> Other kind of idea can be "bands with other creatures with bands with other"
05:40:45 <zzo38> Another thing to write might be "Whenever an object is countered, put a +1/+1 counter on ~."

07:51:22 <izabera> i downloaded a movie and the video quality is perfect and the audio is fine too, but the audio track is slightly slower than the video
07:51:48 <izabera> like, after 1 hour or so the audio comes 2s sooner than it should

11:52:02 <FireFly> <shachaf> Maybe he can do that but he isn't supposed to unless a channel has freenode-staff in the op list ← freenode-staff is on the ACL because it's the dummy account used for 'successor' for single-# (on-topic) channels
11:52:36 <shachaf> Maybe you need to shut this channel down now?
11:52:50 <FireFly> though incidentally there *is* an ACL entry that is supposed to indicate "it's fine if staff helps us deal with spam", but it's *@freenode/staff/*
11:53:06 <shachaf> Ah, that must be what I was thinking of.
11:53:13 <FireFly> shachaf: not really, and I'm sure it's plenty official as a channel for esoteric.org
11:53:15 <shachaf> I've seen channels that did that.
11:53:26 <FireFly> I mean, official enough, that is
11:53:30 <shachaf> http://esoteric.org/ looks very official

14:10:11 <izabera> is there a unicode character that's 2 columns wide and it looks like a circle?
14:11:09 <izabera> i tried with () but it doesn't really look like a circle and it's hollow
14:13:43 <izabera> my font doesn't have it :(
14:14:24 <FireFly> You could also use a fullwidth O if you don't mind being very semantically incorrect

17:09:36 <\oren\> there are lots of characters that are circles with somehting inside

17:33:53 <FireFly> izabera: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(game)#Notation_and_recording_games based on this it seems it's used for kifus or something
17:34:05 <FireFly> But I dunno what the dots are supposed to be for
17:34:57 <izabera> o.o kifus don't have stones
17:35:02 <izabera> they only have move numbers

18:11:53 <fizzie> izabera: FireFly: There's a thread on the Unicode mailing list about that: http://unicode.org/pipermail/unicode/2016-March/003412.html
18:14:05 <fizzie> There's a few pointers to examples of use, e.g. http://library.msri.org/books/Book29/files/kim.pdf (diagram in chapter 4)
18:16:17 <fizzie> Though the actual answer seems to be that they just got dragged along by something called the "STIX (font) project", the records of which don't happen to mention where they came from.
18:16:53 <fizzie> Or something like that, anyway.

20:45:26 <moonythedwarf_> In you all's opinion, whats the optimal precision a calculator should have (in digits)
20:46:48 <moonythedwarf_> even for one that does algebra and allows function definitions?
20:47:29 <int-e> in that case what do you need numbers for?
20:47:54 <int-e> but basically I don't think that there is any such optimum
20:48:13 <moonythedwarf_> so this: [02:27.19] <moonythedwarf_> ~>solve math.js 3600/60/60 # Accuracy check
20:48:13 <moonythedwarf_> [02:28.14] <moonythedwarf_> ~>solve math.js sin(3600)/60/60 # Accuracy check

23:26:33 <oerjan> @tell fizzie i notice that two more users have managed to perform the new procedure today, but am disturbed that one of them failed to resubmit the page creation that required it. there _really_ needs to be some adjustment and i don't think it can be done purely through the filters.
23:29:56 <HackEgo> [wiki] [[Simplified Circuit Diagram]] N https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?oldid=49684 * Oerjan * (+2857) Page creation by [[User:Ps4star]] that was caught in the spam filter. Our new procedure really needs some adjustment...
23:38:54 <FireFly> The only solution is to teach the spam filter to identify text about computer science-related topics
23:39:12 <HackEgo> [wiki] [[User talk:Ps4star]] N https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?oldid=49685 * Oerjan * (+300) Created your page for you
23:40:46 <oerjan> FireFly: i don't think our wiki really works that way. Of course if we could at least use one of the more well-used filtering solutions...
23:41:37 <FireFly> It was meant to be tongue-in-cheek
23:41:55 <FireFly> Just throw machine learning at it; that'll solve everything!

23:55:24 <oerjan> but something that was good enough that we could open up the wiki for anonymous edits again would be ideal.
23:57:03 <fizzie> There's at least one daily-updating IP block list that I've seen recommended, at http://www.stopforumspam.com/downloads/
23:58:46 <shachaf> pikhq: So you're not going to the bay area #esoteric meeting in October?
23:58:48 <oerjan> also the idea of having some kind of emergency shutdown for when the spammers get through nevertheless seemed to have stalled after the new (brutal) filter got added.
23:59:51 <oerjan> . o O ( there'll be just shachaf and an irc terminal )
23:59:59 <shachaf> Well, fizzie will be here.
