00:00:43 <zzo38> I think Unicode is overfull of stupid
00:01:29 <zzo38> FountainandFlame: What did you expect?
00:01:54 <\oren\> Well they also added new androgynous emoji for "ADULT" "CHILD" and "OLDER ADULT"
00:02:49 <\oren\> as well as "BEARDED PERSON" and "PERSON WITH HEADSCARF"....
00:03:13 <oerjan> . o O ( wouldn't a pause where the meaning is complete but the sense is not be more appropriate for our regulars )
00:04:13 <oerjan> FountainandFlame: someone brought up the newest unicode additions
00:04:22 <\oren\> http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2016/16381-n4778r-pdam1-2-charts.pdf
00:04:47 <zgrep> Unicode is a mess, but it's the mess we all agree upon.
00:05:17 <zzo38> Link to the list of the new Unicode characters, I think.

00:07:20 <FountainandFlame> So, this chat is dedicated to Unicode programmers for universal text?
00:07:38 <zzo38> FountainandFlame: No it isn't, but at least at this time such thing are sometimes discussed a bit
00:07:58 <zzo38> (We often to discuss many different kind of things and is not always on topic; see logs for details)
00:08:11 <FountainandFlame> Oh okay. Well, glad to stumble in here, I love good discussions
00:08:20 <zzo38> (And if you want to know the "proper" topics of discussions, to please see wiki.)
00:08:56 <\oren\> somtimes we talk about magic the gaherig
00:09:08 <\oren\> sometimes about theoretical mathematics too
00:09:15 <FountainandFlame> I assume there are at least a few who use this interface often?
00:09:17 <zzo38> Yes, there is that too
00:09:24 <zzo38> FountainandFlame: What interface?
00:09:40 <zzo38> What site do you mean?
00:09:49 -!- Lord_of_Life has quit (Excess Flood).
00:09:50 <oerjan> this "site" is a worldwide network
00:10:12 <zzo38> It is IRC. You are using probably the Freenode web IRC client, although other people use their own IRC client
00:10:20 <zzo38> It is connect to the same network of IRC servers.
00:12:12 <int-e> you better take notes, there will be a quiz at the end
00:12:45 <oerjan> zzo38 even wrote his _own_ irc client, it's the kind of thing some people here would do :)

00:13:46 <\oren\> I'm using irssi client
00:14:13 <\oren\> and I'm interested in unicode because I make my own font
00:14:31 <oerjan> i've sometimes used the web client when i cannot get to the server i run irssi on
00:14:44 <int-e> \oren\: how close are you to unicode-completeness?
00:15:33 <oerjan> . o O ( who's adding characters faste, \oren\ or the consortium )
00:16:13 <FountainandFlame> Yeah the PDF you sent me was pretty interesting. I originally studied ideograms which brought me to Hermetic Philosophy
00:17:17 * oerjan smells the other kind of esoteric
00:17:37 <zzo38> How much of the UTCE set is in your font so far?
00:19:32 <zzo38> Looking on Wikipedia about Hermetic Philosophy and about ideograms, I do not see much about what it has to do with?
00:19:44 <\oren\> there are 20524 characters supported

02:20:52 <pikhq> Yeah, as far as Alaska goes Anchorage is fairly far south.
02:21:08 <pikhq> Trondheim is definitely north of it, though not by *much*.
02:21:35 <oerjan> i can't think of anyone else here who's definitely north of me
02:21:55 <oerjan> but there may be people who haven't stated their whereabouts.
02:22:20 <pikhq> There aren't *that* many urban areas north of you, though, so you likely are the most northern.
02:22:42 <oerjan> unless there's a stealth norwegian or someone in murmansk
02:22:59 <shachaf> i,i an urban is what urjan will do if you're too disruptive
02:24:04 <pikhq> Oh, is Zarutian from Reykjavik?
02:24:18 <shachaf> Somewhere in Iceland at least.
02:24:22 <pikhq> Well, they have an Icelandic host, so that's quite likely.
02:24:28 * oerjan resigns the northernmost throne
02:24:44 <pikhq> There aren't that many people in Iceland *not* in Reykjavik, so...
02:24:54 <Zarutian> well, I live in an abutting muncipality called Kópavogur
02:25:08 <pikhq> (literally 2/3rds of the country is in the metro area of Reykjavik)
02:25:49 <Zarutian> the most populous street is Hraunbær
02:26:14 <pikhq> So, yes, you're the northernmost Esotericer.
02:26:15 <boily> I think oerjan still northerns more than Zarutian.
02:26:33 <pikhq> Is oerjan notably north of Trondheim?
02:26:55 <boily> oh, Trondheim, not Tromsø...
02:27:15 <pikhq> Because Reykjavik is about 75' north of Trondheim.

19:41:37 <zzo38> C does not have the support for anonymous macros.
19:41:57 <zzo38> Nor for overloading macros.
19:43:38 <boily> hezzo38. how would one achieve an anonymous macro???
19:45:52 <zzo38> I am not quite sure, but I have once found myself wanting to use such a thing. Possibly that a macro argument will then be defined as a temporary macro with a new name not used otherwise.
19:46:31 <zzo38> C also has no precomputed or partially precomputed macros, and I think ability for partially precomputed macros can be useful to have.
19:46:54 <boily> shouldn't that be better constrained through well-typed higher-order functions?
19:47:29 <boily> (caveat boilemptor: I never used C's function pointers. they are terrifying.)
19:48:33 <zzo38> That is one thing, but macros is another thing. High-order macro can be help good though I think
19:49:31 <zzo38> I think the main problem with C's function pointers is the syntax for specifying types, but if you use typedef then you can avoid these problems.

20:36:42 <izabera> http://i.imgur.com/22US73Y.png they wrote goddo in furigana over kami, and the voice actor also read goddo
20:42:09 <alercah> izabera: an alternate reading
20:42:58 <alercah> in this case it looks like the name is "God Enel", and they wanted to preserve the meaning of the kanji for kami, so they used the kanji but the furigana say to pronounce it differently
20:43:53 <\oren\> they just decided to say the english word god but write it with 神 to give the meaning
20:45:44 <\oren\> similar thing below that where they wrote 夜明曲 but gave furigana of オーバード
20:48:41 <\oren\> the kanji reads as dawn-song roughly
20:49:11 <izabera> i see, but i didn't know those <.<
20:49:52 <\oren\> 夜明曲 isn't a real word apparently
20:50:16 <\oren\> but 夜明け means dawn and 曲 means song
20:52:41 <zzo38> I have also noticed at least once before in Akagi manga where they did add a kanji with the furigana to specify the English reading.
20:53:44 <zzo38> Sometimes it can be confusing if you mean a Japanese, Chinese, or English reading of the words, but probably to Japanese people it is less confusing, although still sometimes they want to specify differently I suppose, is why they do like that.
