00:20:57 <hppavilion[1]> \oren\: I don't know OO really. WHat does anyy of that mean?
00:21:35 * oerjan high fives hppavilion[1]
00:21:59 <hppavilion[1]> Is a singleton when you have an object that doesn't do anything except for store either only loosely- or entirely-unrelated data?
00:22:03 <shachaf> oerjan-oriented programming
00:22:26 <shachaf> @google what is a singleton
00:22:27 <lambdabot> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singleton_pattern
00:22:51 <hppavilion[1]> "In software engineering, the singleton pattern is a software design pattern that restricts the instantiation of a class to one object."
00:22:56 <shachaf> A singleton is a class that only has one instance.
00:23:00 <shachaf> This instance is stored in a global variable.
00:23:28 <shachaf> But instead of using that global variable directly, you call a method called getInstance() which checks if the variable is initialized and initializes it if it isn't.
00:23:31 <hppavilion[1]> So it's basically using a class for the exact opposite of what classes were invented for?
00:23:42 <oerjan> alas, even haskell has singletons, although goldfire is trying to fix that.
00:24:00 <shachaf> You just said you don't know OO, so how do you know what classes were invented for?
00:24:43 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: I don't do OO in the sense of using it as my technique. I still do plenty of stuff with classes when they're useful, but I don't structure my code *around* having classes
00:25:01 <shachaf> oerjan: What's wrong with Haskell singletons?
00:25:06 * oerjan has read the original Simula Begin book, or at least part of it.
00:25:30 <oerjan> shachaf: they're just a poor man's pi types, or something.
00:25:39 <hppavilion[1]> Like, if I need a Euclidean Vector, I'll create the EuVector class and make it deal with vectors logically, overloading operators as needed
00:26:10 * oerjan doesn't really know dependent typing either, obviously
00:26:33 <hppavilion[1]> Because that makes sense. I don't want to have to use addVectors(a, b) for addition, and if I'm using Vectors then I'm using a *lot* of vectors, so bundling their structure together in one big thing makes sense
00:26:38 <shachaf> oerjan: Do you like System F?
00:27:05 <shachaf> @ask zzo38 Do you like this?
00:27:25 <hppavilion[1]> Classes are good if you want a bunch of related data together, and you want to have a structure for putting that variety of related data together.
00:27:28 <oerjan> shachaf: are you sure you're not approaching harassment with that phrase
00:27:46 <shachaf> i wouldn't want to be harassing people
00:28:17 <shachaf> i hardly even noticed it until a third party pointed it out

17:36:20 <oerjan> clearly some aliens used a brahmastra there
17:37:33 <oerjan> which also explains why there's so much desert.
17:42:46 <b_jonas> oerjan: note that it's one of the pyramids built the latest, during the 13th dynasty. I think that means those ancient aliens are still building pyramids in the past as we speak, and when they build it in the past, we discover them meanwhile in the present.
17:43:01 <b_jonas> It's just not a very common event, because they only build one every few decades.
17:45:49 <oerjan> (would these aliens happen to be three in number, and pretty stupid?)

21:08:13 <hppavilion[1]> I just thought of *one* time that singleton classes are reasonable (while programming; I need one) though I'd rather if I could just create it as a literal object
21:08:15 -!- wob_jonas has joined.
21:08:55 <hppavilion[1]> Iff your language supports operator overloading, using a singleton to have an "undefined" type (for which any operation involving it is undefined) is allowed.
21:09:37 <wob_jonas> There should be a protocol that's half-compatible with IRC, with weaker guarantees, in which the servers need not be connected in a forest topology, so there can be cycles. That will help if we ever have servers on three non-collinear planets or moons or space stations, because restricting the connections to a forest can cause transmission delays.

21:24:14 <shachaf> Do you mean anything by the word "co"?
21:24:33 <wob_jonas> hpp: the servers within an IRC network are connected so eg. if a client says something on a #-channel on one server, then every client who's joined that channel on any server will get that message.
21:30:00 <wob_jonas> An alternate theory (to martians) is that the new pyramid was made for publicity by WotC for the upcoming Amonkhet set, which has an ancient Egypt theme.
21:30:53 <wob_jonas> So in that case, Mark Rosewater went back in time more than three thousand years, carried the giant stones on his own back, and built the pyramid.
21:31:14 <wob_jonas> I don't know whether that's more believable than the martian spaceship hangars.
