00:06:08 <boily> I don't, but it sounds fun! copyright assasins.
00:06:38 <myname> 70 years is a lot of time for that to make any sense
00:07:09 <myname> "we need that in _exactly_ 70 years. we cannot afford to wait 80, because our seers said so"
00:09:05 <Zarutian> myname: well the plot was that the corp wanted the writings in the public domain sooner than later hence the covertly hired assasins
00:09:11 <myname> it would make sense in a cyberpunk setting like morgan's, but i don't know if copyright will be a thing like today in those

00:14:01 <Zarutian> i have actually played that. I find it hillariously badly confused what hacking is actually about.
00:14:30 <Zarutian> hacking in the senes of gaining access to something without consent
00:15:22 <Zarutian> 'series of tubes with firewalls'
00:18:47 <boily> it's caricaturally hollywoodian, and runs with it all the way through, with flavour and lore and extra material.
00:19:02 <boily> it's not meant to be serious hacking.
00:19:13 <Zarutian> netrunner should have cards that are on a corps server such when reviealed it says "Congratulations! You gained access to the sysadmins breakroom fridge wishlist!"
00:21:20 <Zarutian> there there is another card: "You can hire an tech to make te sysadmins new fridge act like an exfiltration device for getting out goodies without being detected"
00:22:40 <olsner> hmm, does intercal have exceptions of some kind?

00:30:52 <Zarutian> boily: yeah, I know it is caricaturally hollywoodian which is based on something an script writer half remembered when asking phone phreaks and hackers how they did it.
00:31:11 <Zarutian> boily: hence the 'trace' and such stuff.
00:37:04 <oerjan> olsner: you need to ask ais523 that hth
00:37:09 <Zarutian> which reminds me, I remember I saw in one movie that came after War Games where an combination of computer clubs bought one pager (with service) and a 900 number. They then cloned the pager and linked the 900 number to its number. Then they used it for sort of data 'broadcast' for their members. (You could send alphanumerical text to the pager via DTMF scheme the pager service published)
00:37:23 <HackEgo> hth ([ʰtʰh̩]) is help received from a hairy toe. It is not at all hambiguitous.
00:38:38 <Zarutian> (the members connected their 'pagers' to their home computers and left them running)
00:39:15 <oerjan> that seems unlikely to work hth
00:39:42 <Zarutian> the data broadcast service the clobbed together?
00:40:29 <Zarutian> why was it unlikely to work? pager systems in those days didnt use cell phone architecture
00:41:15 <oerjan> i'd assume the telecom network would track approximate pager location, and not be able to register several simultaneously...
00:41:44 <oerjan> unless the service was actually designed for having several pagers on one number
00:41:47 <Zarutian> an pager was bascially an small recieve only radio hard tuned to the pager service broadcast frequency and knew its id code
00:42:20 <oerjan> ok receive only? i guess it could work then.
00:42:36 <oerjan> but then only in the designated area the broadcasts reach
00:43:07 <Zarutian> which was usually whole of USA (in that movie at least)
00:44:08 <oerjan> i guess with low enough customer base they could do that.
00:45:01 <Zarutian> the customer base was huge, many hospitals, police forces, fire stations and so on used these from what I have read
00:45:33 <Zarutian> you see the data sent for a page wasnt that much

It is not at all hambiguitous.\' > wisdom/hth \
00:46:21 <Zarutian> heck with many pagers in a group then only one packet needed to be sent as each pager in the group also listened for the group id code

00:49:17 <Zarutian> the funny thing is, in that movie, the telecomms company found out what the clubbers were doing. But all calls to the pagers number went through the 900 number so the bill broke even. The company just put a rate limter on the pager number and didnt care further.
00:51:32 <Zarutian> This and other stuff, might have been the inspiration for Outernet.is (which isnt an Icelandic site though it is registered via ISNIC)

04:29:58 <zzo38> I have recently added into OAA a compile-time optimization for arithmetic operations on constants. (For example if you type 1 2ADD it will automatically replace it with 3) OAC does not have this feature.
04:46:09 <zzo38> Some programming languages have no bitwise operations (such as, OASYS VM doesn't have, and I think Pascal also doesn't have; if you look at the code of TeX and METAFONT you will see that they don't use bitwise operations; also TI-92 has no bitwise operations), although I have figured out ways to do anyways (depending what needs to be done you can simplify it). Have you ever done stuff like this too?
04:48:37 -!- hppavilion[1] has joined.
04:49:35 <hppavilion[1]> A lot of programming languages use `s and ~s and ^s
04:49:52 <hppavilion[1]> Which is weird because they're etymologically supposed to be diacritics that lost their diacriticism
04:51:13 -!- zpez has left.
04:51:44 <zzo38> They are used because they are ASCII characters is I think mainly why
04:54:41 <hppavilion[1]> zzo38: They're only in ASCII because they were used as diacritics, but they were never meant to stand alone
04:55:52 <pikhq> They may have been intended as such, but actual ASCII systems never supported them as such.
04:56:09 <pikhq> Though a decent number of the national ASCII variants did.
04:57:07 <zzo38> You could make overtype by backspace, but that is unlikely on a VDU anyways.
04:57:32 <hppavilion[1]> But what would happen if ASCII had *more* diacritics than just gràve, tĩlde, câret? What might programming languages use a floating macrōn or brĕve, dȯt or ümlaut, ri̊ng or carǒn for?
04:57:53 <hppavilion[1]> zzo38: Yeah, that was the original usage afaict. It applied to lots of other combinors too
04:58:21 <hppavilion[1]> Also, rule: All names for diacritical marks should contain the diacritical mark.
04:58:26 <zzo38> Yes you can make cents sign too for example. But as I said such uses are more suitable for paper than for VDU.
04:58:49 <pikhq> But then, ASCII was a 1963 spec.

05:30:00 <pikhq> zzo38: It'd be interesting to see software emulating overtype.

05:32:36 <pikhq> Replace backspace-and-diacritic with the Unicode combining character

05:48:33 <Jafet> combining backspace

21:45:41 <zzo38> All The Tropes Wiki includes, on its article about "Every Man Has His Price", says about Magic: the Gathering, "[...] this is the default behavior of black, which uses everything as a resource". But what about, using costing you the game in later duels in a match as a resource, or in a team game, using players as a resource?
21:46:32 <shachaf> I think black might often use players' loyalty as a resource.
21:50:52 <zzo38> Players can concede at any time, so even in a Archenemy game with ten vs one, the team might find a way to win that involves nine of their ten players conceding, and the remaining player winning, therefore allowing the entire team to win.
21:52:28 <zzo38> Another idea I thought of is to write the card: Indirectly phase out target permanent.
