This seems to explain why the legal terms in many of the free licenses are so long and complicated. 13:34:35 assuming that link is in Hungarian, I'm unlikely to be able to understand it 13:34:46 sure, but I'll tell more 13:34:46 the copyright laws in the UK are pretty complex too, though :-( 13:35:06 at least they're usually unambiguous, although they also tend to disallow things in situations where other legal systems are ambiguous 13:35:10 The law regulates such copyright-related licenses that transfer rights regulated by the copyright law. It says how certain settings are defaulted if they're not mentioned in a license. 13:35:52 And the defaults are almost always such that they are less permissive for the receiver. 13:36:16 yes, that's standard 13:36:23 In particular, it says that the license can be given only for particular uses on praticular media, and only for uses known at the time I give the license; 13:36:34 "default-all-rights-reserved" is a license name I refer to often for a reason 13:37:28 that the time length of the license defaults to whatever is usual for that type of work (this shouldn't be a problem for software, which is usually permanently licensed, it's there for licencing book publishing rights towards publishers, but note that it also gives specific rules for specific types of works), 13:38:22 and most importantly, it says that the license defaults to giving right to distribute the work only within Hungary, which is a problem because a lot of licenses (including the Gnu GPL 2 and Gnu GPL 3) doesn't say "global" or "any country" or anything about the location. 13:38:52 The law seems serious about this, because it clarifies how the location works for television received directly from a satellite broadcast. 13:39:46 Also, this law is harmonized with international agreements, so the laws in other countries are probably similar, regardless all the crazy stuff the US does, some of which might actually contradict those international agreements they've supposedly agreed to. 13:40:16 So I don't think Hungary is the only place where this is a problem. 13:41:47 I'm now trying to read stuff written by the FSF and the WMF Hungary (they have a form letter for asking permission for use from people who aren't familiar with Wikimedia projects, and it does mention some terms explicitly with the assumption that people don't actually read what the mentioned Creative Commons BY SA license says, but it doesn't say " 13:41:47 global" either.) 13:42:07 (The CC BY SA license does say "global" by the way. It doesn't say for how long.) 13:42:13 None of this is a legal oppinion. 13:42:48 I'll look at the FSF's FAQ, and the fsf.hu wobsite, because they actually have lawyers paid, and might try to ask for a clarification from them in email if the FAQ doesn't answer me. 13:44:07 I don't like the Gnu GPL, but it's still relevant for software already licensed under it, and, like I said, other copyright license agreements seem to be similar. The X11 license also doesn't mention a location or countries. 13:44:17 -!- ais523 has quit (Quit: It seems most convenient to apologise for my connection in the quit message, given how often it comes up… If I immediately reconnect, it's probably because I could send but not receive.). 13:44:27 -!- ais523 has joined. 13:44:32 so what's the specific situation which violates the spirit of the GPL? person A writes some GPLed code, person B (who is Hungarian) makes a modified copy and licenses it to person C (who is also Hungarian), person C makes another modified copy, but can't send it to non-Hungarians because it would violate B's license? 13:44:38 is that the simplest situation which causes a problem? 13:44:57 ais523: I don't know yet. I'm trying to read up on this. 13:46:39 The simplest situation is probably when I send hu.Wikipedia's form letter in Hungarian to ask permission from someone to allow their work of art to be distributed under the CC BY SA license, they agree to that form letter without reading the long legal terms of the CC BY SA license, and then I, in Hungary, distribute that work of art to people outs 13:46:39 ide Hungary. 13:46:40 -!- zseri has quit (Quit: Leaving). 13:48:16 is this a situation where it matters whether it's CC-by-sa or CC-by-sa-unported? 13:48:22 But all of this is regulated by a hundred other related laws, and I'm not a lawyer, and don't know anything about this anyway. 13:48:23 it normally doesn't, but this strikes me as being potentially relevant 13:48:40 -!- zseri has joined. 13:49:25 ais523: when someone choses the non-default license, it's easier to assume that they've read the legal terms, rather than just the form letter and the lay summary, so they'll know that the CC licenses do explicitly say it's a "global" license to distribute etc. 13:51:08 Eg. I've distributed stuff under CC BY (the non-sharealike license), and have written arguments that something is public domain under the US copyright law because it was published before 1923 and so can be distributed on Commons. So I probably couldn't claim that I thought the CC BY license gave only permission in Hungary. 13:51:41 Note that the damned CC hides their legal terms on a separate page from their lay summary. 13:52:28 they want people to at least read the summary, I guess 13:52:42 Sure. 13:53:10 What the CC license doesn't claim anywhere is that it doesn't expire. 13:53:17 The GNU license does say that it's permanent. 13:54:13 Both say that they're not arbitrarily revokable. 13:55:15 I'll also have to read what the Boost license FAQ says, because they also claim a lawyer was involved. 14:00:29 -!- doesthiswork has joined. 14:02:14 -!- ski has joined. 14:03:42 ais523: also, do you recall that discussion on wikimedia projects about the lack of freedom of panorama in Sweden, which got to a courts decision, and people complained about the strange law that sometimes gives you the right to use something commercially but not to use it non-commercially? 14:03:58 no 14:06:51 ais523: I can't find the details about that right now, sadly 14:08:36 anyway, it turns out the copyright law of Hungary I linked also has one specific clause that smells like that, about using works of fine art (Mona Lisa) as set in television freely without attribution, unless that work of art is specifically intended to be used as a stage set or stage costume. 14:08:50 (ok, not Mona Lisa, the copyright term of that one expired) 14:08:55 (but something like that) 14:12:14 ais523: I also wonder about the musical fountain in Margitsziget. It's playing recorded music from loudspeakers, automatically shoots jets of water with a coreography matching the music, and, after dusk, lights the water jets with colorful lights also according to a coreography. 14:13:05 "choreography" is one of those words which has a silent h for no apparent reason 14:13:07 English is weird sometimes 14:13:08 It seems to me like it's "permanently exhibited" because half of the songs it's playing now it's been playing for over five years multiple times a day. 14:14:58 ais523: I don't think that's no apparent reason. That's a CH from latin from a greek chi, which is usually pronounced as a /k/ at the start of a word. Same as chemistry and chronometer and christianity. My big dictionary confirms it comes from a greek word, cognate with chorus. 14:15:51 yep, I'm guessing it's for the same reason as chorus 14:16:13 even so, though, we pronounce it more like kappa than chi 14:16:37 Anyway, I wonder what the freedom of panorama exception in the law says about videos of that musical fountain. That seems to depend on two things: (a) what does "panorama" mean, and (b) is the fountain covered by "a work of fine art, architecture or applied art". 14:18:06 ais523: um, I don't know about other people, but I personally never studied russian or german or greek or latin, and as a result I don't pronounce hard h properly in any word, I always just use either a "k" (at the start of words) or a "h" (inside words) regardless the source language. So I don't know what "more like a kappa than a chi" means. 14:18:39 There was something about these greek origin words I wanted to find out. I should try to get back to that later. 14:20:23 Not the greek words themselves, but how we use them now. 14:25:12 Oh, also. Now I understand why libraries put limitations on photocopying or photographing their books for personal only non-commercial use. 14:26:11 The law actually says that I'm allowed (with certain conditions) to make copies of parts of books for personal use, but also that even then I'm not allowed to copy an *entire* book even that way except by typewriter or handwriting. 14:27:55 (It still seems I am still allowed to copy entire books when their copyright protection has expired.) 14:28:58 (That's good to know, because I've distributed an entire out-of-copyright book a month ago.) 14:33:01 -!- ATMunn has joined. 14:41:54 Also, this copyright law is the one that permits the government to put a tax on empty CD/DVD disks and photocopier machines. 14:43:07 And tells how the income of that law is to be used. 14:50:19 -!- LKoen has joined. 14:53:27 -!- ais523 has quit (Quit: too tired to IRC). 15:08:55 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds). 15:13:45 -!- Sgeo_ has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 15:17:41 `? white 15:17:44 `? white chocolate 15:17:45 white? ¯\(°​_o)/¯ 15:17:46 white chocolate? ¯\(°​_o)/¯ 15:19:19 `? mario 15:19:20 Mario is a classic PSPACE-complete problem invented by Nintendo. 15:23:39 `? chocolate 15:23:40 chocolate? ¯\(°​_o)/¯ 15:24:16 yum 15:30:51 -!- Sgeo has joined. 15:56:48 -!- wob_jonas has quit (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client). 16:12:49 Have any languages implemented scopes as ordinary objects? 16:42:32 -!- Slereah__ has joined. 16:43:05 -!- Slereah has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 16:44:23 In Canada is also the law that the government puts the tax on blank CDs, but in Canada, this law does not apply to DVDs. 16:49:59 -!- doesthiswork has quit (Quit: Leaving.). 16:52:22 -!- jaboja has joined. 16:54:46 [wiki] [[XTW]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=53115&oldid=53108 * Zseri * (+185) +infobox 16:54:58 -!- grumble has quit (Disconnected by services). 16:55:07 -!- rumble has joined. 16:55:07 -!- rumble has changed nick to grumble. 16:56:15 -!- impomatic has quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds). 17:02:40 -!- zseri has quit (Quit: Leaving). 17:15:33 rdococ: I don't know, but maybe can you give an example of how you might mean? 17:15:58 I can think of one way it might be done at least 17:20:33 -!- doesthiswork has joined. 17:21:11 You might be able to try something similar in JavaScript by use of eval, maybe 17:21:27 zzo38: a Scope object would consist of an associative array and a reference to its parent scope 17:22:01 In JavaScript objects do have prototypes, so you do have objects like that. 17:23:15 To get a variable from the current scope, the interpreter/compiler/whatever would determine if the associative array has the variable name as a key.

I can, but it's just an optimization that's irrelevant for most programs.) 23:53:04 IMO associative arrays are a fundamental data structure, and just because asm doesn't support them easily, doesn't mean that they should be considered less fundamental than, say, indexed arrays 23:53:16 actually they're very easy to implement if you don't care about efficiency 23:53:45 sure, but I do care about efficiency 23:53:45 -!- jaboja has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 23:53:58 "associative array" is such an awful name 23:54:06 Why do people use it? 23:54:41 > let put k v a = \k2.(if k=k2 then v else a k2) in (put 1 red $ put 2 blue $ put 3 green $ undefined) 2 23:54:43 :1:20: error: parse error on input ‘.’ 23:54:49 > let put k v a = \k2 -> (if k=k2 then v else a k2) in (put 1 red $ put 2 blue $ put 3 green $ undefined) 2 23:54:52 :1:29: error: 23:54:52 parse error on input ‘=’ 23:54:52 Perhaps you need a 'let' in a 'do' block? 23:54:54 because it matters to me how efficient you can implement programs in the esolang, and if the impl of the language uses a linear search implementation, that ruins the parts I care about. 23:55:01 > let put k v a = \k2 -> (if k==k2 then v else a k2) in (put 1 red $ put 2 blue $ put 3 green $ undefined) 2 23:55:05 error: 23:55:05 • Variable not in scope: red 23:55:05 • Perhaps you meant one of these: 23:55:16 > let put k v a = \k2 -> (if k==k2 then v else a k2) in (put 1 "red" $ put 2 "blue" $ put 3 "green" $ undefined) 2 23:55:20 "blue" 23:55:22 there we go 23:55:35 when you haven't used functional languages for a while they all tend to blur together 23:55:44 -!- tromp has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 23:56:47 You can write an OK hash table implementation in a few lines of code probably 23:56:55 If you implement underload properly, then you can translaste any non-parallel program to lambda calculus first and then to underload and the runtime will grow only to O(t**(1+epsilon)) compared to the runtime t of the original. 23:57:16 I don't know any simple efficient ordered key-value data structure 23:57:32 shachaf: even if the keys are strings that can ideally be as long as fits in the memory, but definitely at least 255 bytes long should be allowed? 23:57:41 Though I'd like to 23:57:41 you don't need ordered for this language 23:57:48 wob_jonas: my point is that this sort of data structure (shall we call it a "map"?) is very easy to write if you don't care about efficiency, meaning that it's conceptually simple, and theoretically the performacne coudl be fixed by a compiler 23:57:59 I know a somewhat simple ordered one, but it's still not simple enough 23:58:19 ais523: yes, but if I only want conceptually simple, then I can just use brainfuck 23:58:36 and that's not what I want 23:58:40 I do care about efficiency 23:58:54 ais523: map works, but dictionary is better IMO 23:59:03 I should have said dictionary, rather than associative array 23:59:26 I will write my own implementation for the reference interpreter of the language. 23:59:32 wob_jonas: Probably? 23:59:36 it's basically just a function that's a) defined in terms of its I/O behaviour, and b) can have that behaviour changed at runtime
