00:40:34 <zzo38> This would require the hint system to be linked with the game though. Another way for a hint system which is not linked with the game can be for the game to provide a "hint reference code", which is entered into the hint viewer in order to access a hidden hint menu. Hint reference codes can be provided even if there is no UHS file for this game; the UHS can be provided later, and these hint reference codes can possibly even be used with stuff that

01:40:59 <ais523> esoserious problem I'm having: is the bookworm character used by INTERCAL best represented in Unicode as ∀ (for all) or Ɐ (which actually is an upside-down A, as opposed to merely looking like one)?
01:41:47 <oerjan> what does it mean again

02:02:51 <oerjan> ais523: did you see my O(log n) improvements. admittedly they're probably still not very optimal for constant factors...
02:03:45 <ais523> oerjan: I'm missing context, so I'm guessing no
02:03:54 <oerjan> on the Incident talk page
02:04:26 <ais523> I'm glad it's possible though
02:05:33 <oerjan> it seemed the easiest way to keep it 01 based
02:05:56 <oerjan> although it's easy enough to adapt to other bases, as mentioned later
02:06:11 <ais523> also, that filler is amazing
02:06:33 <oerjan> i simplified it a bit later by using overlap rejection
02:08:42 <ais523> I don't think the problem of "good Incident filler" will be fixed until we find filler that doesn't need to embed the tokens themselves though
02:08:55 <ais523> and that has a reasonable length
02:09:19 <ais523> my simulated annealing filler program can normally fill length-2 tokens using just three filler characters distinct from those in the tokens, within a minute or so of runtime
02:10:30 <ais523> I assume that using length-3 tokens would make filling harder, and possibly require a larger alphabet of filler characters
02:10:44 <ais523> and when your tokens get long enough, perhaps the filler needs to be multiple characters too
02:15:23 <oerjan> hm maybe you can see this as a graph problem, with an edge from each token to the other tokens that may follow it
02:15:51 <oerjan> three except for the one that's last in the program
02:16:46 <ais523> right, you only have to consider the tokens pairwise because if a combination of three tokens were relevant, you'd definitely have an overlap somewhere
02:20:30 <oerjan> the delimiters neighboring a token should be unique for each occurrence, that takes care of all strings containing a whole token
02:20:48 <oerjan> *for each occurrence of that token
02:22:19 <oerjan> you could perhaps use nine delimiters to simply encode the occurrence numbers of their neighbors.
02:23:14 <oerjan> (now i'm assuming we're using a reasonably large character set)
02:23:57 <oerjan> but then there still remains preventing repetition of substrings not containing a whole token
02:26:22 <oerjan> ...that may not be the easiest thing to solve.
02:30:53 <ais523> right, the most common accidental tokens (I call these "incidents" in the docs, just because I can) involve a delimeter plus half a token

04:00:36 <ais523> now I'm wondering what happens if you put .hgignore in itself
04:00:46 <ais523> would the change not be saved? or would it be impossible to revert?
04:01:05 <shachaf> hg checks .hgignore on commit
04:01:09 <ais523> I guess it'd revert because the .hgignore would be versioned in the revision you're reverting /to/…
04:01:54 <shachaf> No, it wouldn't be reverted. It would just not be recorded.
04:02:05 <shachaf> One trick you can do is putting a wildcard in .hgignore that ignores everything.
04:02:53 <shachaf> I think the effect of that is that all changes until the wildcard is removed aren't committed.
04:03:17 <shachaf> Wait, maybe I'm thinking of the other case, where you put canary in .hgignore and delete it.
04:03:23 <shachaf> There were too many cases, I can't remember.
04:03:24 <ais523> wouldn't that change to .hgignore itself not be commited?
04:03:31 <shachaf> The point is, we figured out how to delete canary.
04:03:38 <shachaf> (But not how to commit it.)
04:03:39 <ais523> I like the idea of ignoring the canary, though
04:03:45 <ais523> it still wouldn't be a /proper/ deletion of the canary though, would it?

04:25:39 <shachaf> I think what I said was that it doesn't allow commits as long as that file doesn't exist.
04:25:55 <ais523> although I don't seem to be able to create tmp/canary-tmp4 and have it persist, for some reason
04:25:56 <shachaf> But creating the file isn't a commit in itself, because it's ignored.

04:33:00 <shachaf> I know what's happening, though.
04:33:11 <ais523> oh, the fact that HackEgo runs each command twice
04:33:18 <ais523> once for side effects, once for the output
04:33:28 <ais523> if I call mv, the file's already moved by the time it goes to run it for the output
04:33:32 <ais523> and so it doesn't find it the second time
04:33:45 <shachaf> It runs it once, and then if the repository changes, it reverts to a clean state and runs it again.
04:33:52 <shachaf> While not allowing other commands in parallel.
04:34:10 <shachaf> But the revert doesn't restore the file in tmp/, because it's ignored.
04:34:18 <shachaf> And it does delete the destination file.
04:34:20 <ais523> right, so the file just vanishes altogether
04:41:15 <shachaf> I wish we could get to tmp/ via the HTTP server.
04:41:20 <shachaf> I don't like pastes being committed to hg.

06:37:17 <zzo38> How could collaborative quiz writing with Internet Quiz Engine work?
06:37:38 <shachaf> How does regular quiz writing work?
06:39:10 <zzo38> It is simply a text file. The format would be the same in this case, I would just to see how collaborative quiz writing might be done
06:39:33 <shachaf> Use a collaborative text editor like Etherpad or Gobby to edit the text file together?
06:40:57 <zzo38> Maybe for real time collaboration (if that is what it does), but maybe there is other ways I don't know
06:41:20 <zzo38> Actually I think there are different things which can be wanted, such as real time collaboration or not real time
06:41:36 <shachaf> Real time is better than not real time.
06:48:04 <zzo38> I suppose one way might be to make discussion on IRC for various people to suggest questions and one person to write them into one file, but another way might be for anyone to edit the file as a wiki, although there still may be some issues involved with such thing specifically with Internet Quiz Engine or with quiz files for other systems too just in general.

23:53:19 <mad> gripe of the day:
23:53:37 <mad> x86 division is wrong in, like, 4 different ways at the same time
23:56:19 <zzo38> What ways is that?
23:56:42 <mad> zero division exceptions are bad and actually make the cpu slower
23:56:44 <impomatic_> I want to visit York soon for the retro games shop!
23:57:00 <mad> -1 / 2 gives 0. that's bad and irl it should give -1
23:57:59 <mad> also it generates multiple results - division result in one register and remainder in another. multiple result instructions are bad
23:58:30 <mad> also some of the registers you use are fixed and that's also bad
23:58:32 <izalove> returning only one would mean to throw away information
23:58:56 <mad> (because compilers hate fixed registers because it turns register allocation into an np complete problem)
23:59:03 <zzo38> I think it is good if they can more easily to calculate both at once
23:59:06 <mad> also division sets flags which is also bad
23:59:19 <mad> izalove : it's good on a 486
23:59:41 <mad> which runs in order and doesn't do 4 operations at the same tiem
