01:13:30 <oerjan> hm norwegian storms also have names, but i don't think they're the same names since they're often norwegian ones.
01:13:44 <fizzie> Apparently names are a new idea here.
01:13:50 <fizzie> Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_storm_naming_in_the_United_Kingdom_and_Ireland
01:13:59 <fizzie> In Finland they've had names longer as well, I think.
01:14:19 <oerjan> it's not that old in norway either.
01:15:09 <fizzie> I believe in Finland they're just named based on the name day calendar for the first day of the storm.
01:15:15 <fizzie> Here they're doing the alphabetical thing.
01:18:05 <fizzie> I think I remember hearing that for the "real storms" (Atlantic hurricanes and such) they recycle names except when it's a really impressive one, then they'll remove that name from further circulation.

02:11:48 <zzo38> A C program reading from stdin by read() is sometimes not reading the data. Do you know how to fix this?
02:13:42 <zzo38> Not reading the data; read() returns something other than the length of the data (I haven't yet checked what exactly).
02:14:18 <shachaf> Maybe you just need to call read() again?
02:14:58 <zzo38> I get 208000 bytes instead of the full 1254410 bytes.
02:15:16 <zzo38> And, yes, I suppose to call read() again will work. But why won't it read everything at once?
02:16:47 <zzo38> The stdin is from a Node.js program that is using the child_process module to pipe the data to it
02:16:57 <fizzie> "The value returned may be less than nbyte if the number of bytes left in the file is less than nbyte, if the read() request was interrupted by a signal, or if the file is a pipe or FIFO or special file and has fewer than nbyte bytes immediately available for reading."
02:17:20 <shachaf> It sounds like it's a pipe.
02:17:25 <zzo38> Yes I think it is a pipe
02:17:27 <shachaf> I'd expect it to be split up.
02:17:50 <zzo38> Will just repeating it until all bytes are read or it returns -1 to work?
02:17:58 <shachaf> More likely it'll return 0.
02:21:15 <zzo38> What should I have it do if the return value is zero?
02:26:34 <shachaf> Zero indicates end of file, according to read(2)
02:26:52 <shachaf> But did you know that you can keep reading from a pipe after you get 0?
02:31:41 <fizzie> If you're using curl -F 'something=<-' to read a form value from standard input, you have to type ^d twice, because curl will try to keep reading from the standard input once after getting a 0.
02:35:06 <fizzie> I'm not sure. I think I may have had a plausible explanation, but can't remember.
02:36:16 <fizzie> "cat - -" behaves in a similar way, though there the reasons are rather more obvious.

03:41:35 <zzo38> I intend to read until the full length is filled, or if there is an error or if the other end of the pipe is closed.
03:42:23 <shachaf> Then just stop reading when read() successfully returns 0.
03:43:14 <zzo38> Is that the only case that it will?
03:44:11 <shachaf> That's what my man page seems to say.
03:45:44 <zzo38> OK, then that should work. (It still indicates an error though, because the program does not expect to receive any different amount of data)

05:13:50 <significance> Wouldn't the ASCII value of the inputted character have to be -1, so that when you add 1 to it and negate it, it becomes 1?

07:35:34 <hppavilion1> rdococ: PHP isn't an option in the browser, Flash is a crime against humanity
07:35:58 <rdococ> Isn't PHP all about the server?
07:36:10 <zzo38> I don't like Flash or PHP so much (and the browser won't execute PHP code anyways)
07:36:52 <shachaf> It will if you compile it to JavaScript.
07:36:57 <zzo38> Still, I have written PHP codes too before (but don't do so much anymore); even IRC client I now use I had written in PHP.
07:37:13 <shachaf> Or if you run an x86 CPU emulator, and run Linux on it, and run PHP for that architecture.
07:37:14 <rdococ> We should construct a new programming language that should serve as an alternative to JS.

11:26:26 <int-e> Basically, for a game that tries to be like Myst, it fails in terms of atmosphere, story, and variety of puzzles. The graphics are far more beautiful of course.
11:29:13 <int-e> speaking of which, Obduction fares better in user score and worse in reviews than The Witness on metacritic, what am I supposed to make of that?
11:29:40 <int-e> oh well, I'll be waiting for a 50% off deal.

11:40:24 <int-e> The Swapper and Q.U.B.E. were quite enjoyable. The Stanley Parable is poison for obsessive people (perhaps I've missed an ending?)
11:44:37 <int-e> (I'm using walkthroughs as a cure for that particular disease.)
11:56:39 <b_jonas> You modern guys with your fancy games with multiple endings. Back in my days, you either saved the princess before GAME OVER or not, that's it. No variations.
12:01:05 <int-e> But that game has the best achievement I've seen in a game so far: "don't play $GAME for five years".
12:01:47 <int-e> (achievements, of course, are another kind of modern knick-knack that's poison for obsessive people)
12:02:34 <b_jonas> int-e: nice. does that require you to still have the same computer and files five years later?

12:52:55 <int-e> b_jonas: the whole game is enough of a parody that "what's the point" is close to being the whole point of the game.
12:53:45 <int-e> all the endings, for example, just bring you back to the start of the game.
12:56:40 <b_jonas> isn't that normal for games? you complete the game, save the princess, and get back to the start of the game because there's no more content. or maybe you get a newgame-plus that differs a little, but you're still basically at the start, in the bottom of the dungeon with your tiny starting inventory and (only 2 extra lives or as a level 1 character).
12:57:10 <b_jonas> In some sandbox games, you may continue playing after you win, but there's not much additional content anyway.
13:15:16 <Taneb> Is it possible to get a coach to Finland
13:22:36 <int-e> hmm, "coach" is ambiguous in a funny way
13:26:06 <Taneb> I mean, cheap land-based transport
13:27:23 <Taneb> (From the UK, ideally)
13:27:39 <Taneb> You'd have to go one way or the other round the Baltic, which may present difficulties
13:42:17 <b_jonas> Taneb: from here (Hungary), Finland is too far, so taking any combination of train and bus there is so ridiculously expensive that it's almost always less practical than going by airplane or car most of the way (you may have to use a bus or train leg together with the airplane of course)
13:42:53 <b_jonas> If you go by car, then you might need to take a ferry to cross the sea at some point.

15:01:58 <moony> yea, im very tempted to try and make Brainfuck in factorio. i have an idea on how to get it done and everything
15:03:04 <moony> using 2 mods: Recursive Blueprints, and Creative Mode (creative mode for infinite supplys) to allow the 'tape' to be extended infinitely, thus proving turing completeness in one fell swoop
15:03:29 <b_jonas> moony: if you do, then write about this on the esowiki
15:04:47 <moony> also, factorio, with its immense extensibility and practically infinite world, can probably handle any other esolang in existance if you try hard enough using combinators (you get the following: + - / * > < = !=)
15:05:13 <moony> combinators themselves can be described as a esolang with a small amount of stretching :p
15:05:37 <Taneb> Hmm, does Vanilla Factorio have any genuinely renewable resources (beyond power)
15:06:04 <moony> Water, and thats it, Oil pools slowly lose efficiency until they eventually hit '0'
15:06:47 <moony> if you expand out far enough, you can always find MORE resources, but they are not infinite
15:07:12 <Taneb> Been a while since I've played
15:07:30 <moony> hence why i want the Creative Mpde mod if i try and make a infinite tape, because it has a special chest that can make infinite amounts of whatever item is in the first slot.
15:07:45 <moony> Taneb, It has much better multiplayer support (its no longer p2p multiplayer)
15:08:00 <moony> and it has a builtin server list, alongside a builtin mod list and mod browser
15:08:15 <Taneb> ...it definitely had servers back when I was playing it, because I was playing on a server, although it was a bit hacky
15:08:33 <moony> yea, its much less hacky in terms of multiplayer now
15:08:48 <moony> its centralised now, like any good game server
15:09:15 <moony> and 0.15 is going to have a change to the way that belts handle items to grant a huge FPS boost
15:09:44 <moony> (it now records what items are there and the distance between each one instead of their X and Y pos on the belt)
15:10:22 <moony> that halves the amount, and the distance rarely changes (only splitters, inserters, and other things that poke the belt's contents can chzange it)
15:10:48 <moony> s/amount/amount of memory used/
15:12:50 <moony> but yea, i've been tossing the concept of how brainfuck in factorio would work.
15:13:12 <moony> whats the smallest BF interp andwhats it's SRC?
15:14:21 <moony> if the SRC is in Assembly for some reason, thats better because ASM happens to be that much easier to translate to combinators
15:16:02 <moony> Taneb, you know any?
15:16:11 <Taneb> I don't, I'm afraid
15:16:35 <moony> it will be that bit harder if i have to figure this out from scratch, but eh :p
15:16:39 <Taneb> http://esolangs.org/wiki/Brainfuck_implementations has a big list
15:17:42 <b_jonas> moony: I hear a lot of people play factorio, so you might find all sorts of practical hints about it on various places over the internet. you needn't figure out everything yourself
15:18:18 <moony> true, i know that :p
15:18:29 <moony> there is a 200p discord for it. (Which im in)
15:19:11 <b_jonas> 200p as in 200 people joined?
15:23:54 <moony> after this im going to try something diffrent.. maybe a assembly -> factorio compiler for the heck of it? :P

15:33:16 <moony> damn, i have been corrected, factorio has a hardcoded limit of 2 million x 2 million
15:33:53 <moony> tho, like everything else, a little modding can get around that :P
15:34:02 <moony> the real limit once you have modded away at it is the CPU
15:34:25 <moony> besides, no computer could handle a 2m x 2m factorio map. not even a supercomputer (game's singlethreaded)
15:35:21 <moony> i'll build a brainfuck interp and point out how close factorio it is to TC (thanks to the damn hardcoded map limit)
15:35:23 -!- LKoen has joined.
15:35:45 <moony> b_jonas, i need halp
15:35:56 <moony> i have been proven sorely wrong
15:36:44 <moony> like i said, factorio devs apparently hardcoded in a limit that no-one could reach, but still breaks TC, why'd they even bother? :P
15:37:24 <moony> no-one would ever reach that hardcoded limit, as the game only generates map as it needs to (when it enters the player's 'view')
15:38:57 <moony> and if they somehow did, the game would be at a fair bit less than one FPS
15:46:45 <Taneb> moony, I had an idea a while back for a Minsky machine in Minecraft
15:47:13 <Taneb> Using slime blocks and a series of flying machines, with the players riding some relevant ones
15:48:31 <b_jonas> moony: the limit is probably still useful to mitigate the effects of bugs that accidentally put very high coordinates to some data structure
15:48:39 <b_jonas> bugs in the game implementation that is
15:49:24 <moony> mods are written in lua, and are limited by the engine. (i know of no mods that add to the game directly)
15:50:42 <b_jonas> eh so? those mods could still have bugs if they ever handle coordinates.

22:06:26 <fizzie> shachaf: I'm guessing about once a week, maybe a little bit more.
22:06:46 <fizzie> shachaf: It's the canonical solution here: http://sprunge.us/
22:07:15 <shachaf> you should make sprunge.us accept grpc hth
22:07:22 <fizzie> It works fine for pasting the output of a command, but I often copy-paste to get "$ command line" part in as well.
22:08:00 <fizzie> I might be okay by doing a "sprunge-it foo bar baz" wrapper that'd do (echo '$ foo bar baz'; foo bar baz) | sprunge.
22:08:07 <fizzie> Except then I'd need to remember to use that.
22:08:34 <shachaf> It also wouldn't use your non-exported variables and other shell things.
22:09:35 <shachaf> You didn't like CapnProto because it made you feel bad for protobuf, right?
22:09:54 <fizzie> (A very non-rational reason.)
22:10:27 <shachaf> Do you like how it stores things xored against the default value so that zeros always correspond to the default value?
22:10:58 <fizzie> I'm not sure I care about non-zero default values sufficiently much to feel too excited about that.
22:11:36 <fizzie> I think proto3 removed non-zero default values entirely, right?
22:11:49 <fizzie> At least https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto3#default sounds like that.
22:12:23 <shachaf> fizzie: Maybe you can feel better knowing that sandstorm.io went out of business.
22:13:22 <fizzie> No, I think now I just feel bad for them.
22:14:01 <fizzie> Does the etymology of sandstorm.io have anything to do with Darude's Sandstorm?
22:16:31 <shachaf> Darude is a famous Finnish musician, I suppose.
22:17:58 <shachaf> The other day in our confidential communication you said something like "like this, just like that".
22:20:35 <fizzie> Plausible. I don't remember what I may or may not have said.

22:43:36 <zzo38> The normal mine sweeper game with a uniform square grid with king's adjacency, but I also made up other modes too, such as: knight's adjacency, board wrapping, grid with holes in it, grid with some cells are bigger than the other one, game that orthogonal adjacencies count double, etc.
