00:04:26 <rdococ> hoily. are you going to mapole me again?
00:05:48 * boily is not mapoling rdococ
00:06:03 <rdococ> I came up with an esolang that is not just a rehashed version of something else.
00:06:07 * rdococ blocks the non-mapole somehow
00:06:20 <rdococ> it's called Rule. I want to see what you think of it. it's on ze website.
00:07:38 <boily> re Rule: do you plan making it TC? should there be IO?
00:10:33 <rdococ> IREAD for input, OWRITE for output.
00:10:40 <ais523> it probably needs more scales
00:10:48 <ais523> apart from that, though, it seems like a fairly unique idea
00:10:57 <ais523> if you have enough scales, many of which are slideable
00:11:04 <ais523> then you probably don't actually need registers
00:11:27 <ais523> instead of slide/sread, you'd have "match S's 1 to T's N, where N is the number on U opposite V's 1"
00:11:44 <ais523> add flow control and that can probably be TC, and might be interesting
00:14:01 <rdococ> I'll probably add a linear scale for logarithms and exponentiation
00:17:27 <rdococ> and a slidable one too for addition
00:18:18 <rdococ> I could have multiple slidable sections
00:20:14 <Alfie275> So do slide rules just add/subtract exponents/logs?
00:21:29 <rdococ> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule
00:24:18 <HackEgo> [wiki] [[Rule]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=51787&oldid=51785 * Rdococ * (+196) /* Overview */ Added L and M linear scales for base e logarithms and addition.
00:25:23 <rdococ> how could I add flow control while keeping with the concept of a slide rule
00:26:45 <Alfie275> rdococ: Maybe you could have an instruction that defines a new slide rule?
00:26:51 <HackEgo> [wiki] [[Rule]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=51788&oldid=51787 * Rdococ * (+4) Modified SLIDE.
00:27:00 <rdococ> I was thinking that, but how would it work?
00:27:20 <Alfie275> Well each rule is basically a function right, where you have distance being input and value being output
00:27:39 <Alfie275> And you can define the functions via the slide rule operations
00:27:49 <rdococ> It's not that each rule is a function.
00:28:04 <rdococ> Each pair of rules is a function, and it's a function calculated by the scales.
00:28:20 <Alfie275> Well I mean, you can do the scale as a function
00:28:48 <Alfie275> So eg, x distance along the rule the value is y
00:29:07 <rdococ> (Interestingly, each pair of rules in which both rules are unslidable is a single-parameter function, and each pair in which one can be slid with SLIDE is a two-parameter function.)
00:29:19 <Alfie275> For linear it's just y = x, for log its y = e**x etc
00:30:02 * rdococ notes that the base of the logarithmic scale doesn't matter as long as they're the same
00:30:46 <rdococ> I like the natural logarithm anyway.
00:31:06 <rdococ> (but base e arithmetic is a little bizarre.)
00:31:23 <rdococ> (You could say it's... esoteric :P)
00:31:34 <rdococ> (of course, it probably has practical uses)
00:31:55 <rdococ> esoteric has 2 e's in it :P
00:32:18 <rdococ> esoteric has i in it :P
00:32:38 <rdococ> c is the speed of light, so you must square it
00:33:12 <Alfie275> That reminds me of when I was bored in physics class, and came up with a convoluted way to aproximate g (which is as accurate as actual measurements due to variation over earth)
00:35:34 <Alfie275> How are programs stored in RULE, do you have a program counter slide that slides along a program rule? :P
00:35:38 <rdococ> ais523: maybe multiple slidable sections?
00:35:59 <rdococ> Alfie275: no, punched cards :P
00:36:05 <ais523> rdococ: yes, that's what I wasa suggesting
00:36:28 <ais523> <Alfie275> rdococ: Maybe you could have an instruction that defines a new slide rule? ← that's not flow control, that's data expansion
00:36:32 <rdococ> ais523: that might work in place of registers
00:36:42 <Alfie275> ais523: Yeah, I was thinking just as an idea
00:36:43 <ais523> rdococ: that's also what I was suggesting
00:37:05 * rdococ wonders if he needs three registers
00:38:50 <Alfie275> You could just use a JUMP command I guess, where you just jump to that instruction number
00:38:52 <shachaf> Is there an esolang which implements control flow using flow control?
00:40:00 <Alfie275> Though expanding on the program as a rule idea, you could have the program be a rule that contains both instructions and any data, and then use matching against the data to do flow control and read off the instructions
00:40:25 <ais523> shachaf: I don't think so
00:40:37 <ais523> but one of my ideas on the back burner is an esolang that /only/ uses control codes
00:40:50 <ais523> and XON/XOFF for control flow is just the sort of thing that would fit perfectly in that
00:41:41 <Alfie275> Eg a command that matches the chosen rule against nearest data in the program rule, and then reads the command at a certain value (eg 0) and runs from there
00:42:10 <rdococ> how would I perform I/O with registers being replaced
00:46:24 <rdococ> I'll have to keep one register.

14:08:31 <b_jonas> but it would be horribly complicated, because sed is both a difficult language to implement (you'd need at least some of a regex engine, enough to run itself) and awkward to program in
14:08:55 <sdhand> That's sorta the point
14:09:47 <b_jonas> the point of obfu/eso-programming is to have fun. this wouldn't be fun, I think
14:10:16 <Taneb> b_jonas, fun may vary to taste
14:10:23 <Taneb> It's certainly a challenge
14:10:44 <b_jonas> have you even ever written a regex engine (not even one with alternatives or posix-correct first longest capture match choice rule, just a simple one with captures and star and bracket-charsets) in any language?
14:12:24 <b_jonas> I mean, maybe you could write this one even simpler than that, like one that doesn't backtrack between bracket-charset-stars, but still, it's ugly.
14:13:14 <b_jonas> it's especially ugly if you have to make it so that the interpreter can handle all bytes in the text and regexen except newline, or at least all the bytes that it itself needs for correct interpreting
14:14:05 <b_jonas> though I guess you could cheat by reserving like eight or sixteen bytes and transliterating the characters up by that much in the text, because given how slow this would be, nobody would notice that it breaks after ten nesting levels
14:14:44 <b_jonas> anyway, you're welcome to try if you want
14:21:34 <sdhand> I certainly shall (and likely give up very quickly)

17:43:52 <hppavilion[1]> I just wrote myself a snazzy new command line tool called "weigh" that gives me the size of a file or directory (because ls didn't seem to work properly), and one folder on my desktop is supposedly 224.51 GiB
17:45:06 <Nistur> hppavilion[1]: on linux?
17:46:09 <hppavilion[1]> Nistur: Though, the program I wrote should work on any OS where os.path.*, os.listdir, and os.getcwd are properly implemented
17:46:17 <sdhand> in what way was ls not working?
17:47:09 <hppavilion[1]> sdhand: It seems like it might just not detect Windows directories properly except in normal listing (it doesn't list details). But I'm not asking for help, I have a program to do it now :P
17:47:17 <hppavilion[1]> Nistur: (Oh, it's in Python if I didn't mention it)
17:47:26 <Nistur> I assumed it would be :P
17:47:37 <Nistur> and you don't even need -s
17:47:57 <sdhand> hppavilion[1]: oh weird
17:48:05 <sdhand> I'm not really out to help, just curios
17:48:12 <sdhand> wow that's not how that word is spelt
17:48:20 <Nistur> sdhand: close enough :P
17:49:27 <Nistur> hppavilion[1]: I went through a phase of writing little tools... but then realising that 99.99% of the little tools I was writing already existed :P
17:49:47 <Nistur> I didn't use python though because I have this itchy feeling whenever I have to write it
17:50:27 <sdhand> I don't really enjoy python
17:50:37 <sdhand> it makes small things like that easy to do tho, which I guess is the point
17:51:09 <Nistur> the main thing which it has going for it... um... it reminds me of that java (I think it was java) quote

17:52:07 <Nistur> no comment about the validity of the second part of the quote, but it always comes to mind :P
17:52:50 <Nistur> (original quote was probably from bash.org: http://bash.org/?338364 but I found the image first)
17:53:27 <Nistur> anyway, I'm done banging my head against these problems. Home time methinks
17:58:44 <\oren\> I prefer perl to python
17:58:59 <\oren\> I don't like significant indentation
17:59:01 <Nistur> yay perl, for when you need a write only language :D
17:59:11 <Nistur> \oren\: that's pretty much the main reason why I dislike python :P
17:59:22 <\oren\> python would be fine if they would get with the program and use {}
18:00:16 <Nistur> or use sexpressions. That'd be acceptable too
18:00:20 <sdhand> write a pre-processor for it ;p
18:00:30 <sdhand> I don't care too much about syntax

20:58:24 <\oren\> hmm, looks like rust integers are fundamentally broken in the same way as c integers
20:59:23 <sdhand> \oren\: how are C intergers broken?
21:00:01 <\oren\> that 0x7FFFFFFF + 1 is undefined
21:00:45 <shachaf> http://huonw.github.io/blog/2016/04/myths-and-legends-about-integer-overflow-in-rust/ says it's a myth.
21:00:53 <shachaf> "in release mode, overflow is not checked and is specified to wrap as two’s complement."
21:01:58 <\oren\> the language specification differs when -O is passed?
21:02:20 <shachaf> This sounds more like -DNDEBUG
21:02:23 <int-e> Well that's still far better than C's undefined behavior.
21:02:41 <shachaf> "in debug mode, arithmetic (+, -, etc.) on signed and unsigned primitive integers is checked for overflow, panicking if it occurs, and,"
21:03:13 <int-e> (which has led to really dangerous optimizations by gcc at least)
21:04:01 <\oren\> -O changes the actual behaviour of a program, that is so wrong
21:04:51 -!- sleffy has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds).
21:04:58 <Taneb> \oren\, it's checked on debug mode, wrapping on release
21:05:11 <shachaf> OK, I'm not sure, I know nothing about Rust.
21:06:08 <\oren\> shachaf: well, from tests, it appears that -O makes it do wrapping
21:06:26 <int-e> (the C standard allows a compiler to optimize x+y < x to y < 0 if x and y are of type int; it sounds like Rust doesn't do that.)
21:06:27 -!- hppavilion[1] has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds).
21:06:33 <Taneb> \oren\, the idea being, when you're debugging you want to find integer overflows
21:06:52 <Taneb> But when it's released you want it as fast as possible, and wrapping is what makes that happen on Rust's target architectures
21:07:23 <\oren\> Taneb: is there a "compile fast but have conistent semantics" mode?
21:09:02 <\oren\> or perhaps a "i8withwrap" type?
21:10:15 <Taneb> There is a one of those
21:10:52 <Taneb> \oren\, https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/num/struct.Wrapping.html
21:12:23 <\oren\> I still don't think -O should disable the warning for "127i8+1"
21:21:33 -!- hppavilion[1] has joined.
21:24:25 <\oren\> println!("{}",Wrapping(127i8)+1); still fails miserably
