00:07:35 <ais523> also, I think many of us are interested in a mix of sensible challenges and complex jokes
00:07:52 <ais523> brainfuck-on-blockchain is an interesting idea, although it may have been comprehensively outesotericised by Ethereum
00:08:09 <b_jonas> yeah, sensible challenges with complex jokes are nice
00:08:14 <ais523> perhaps it would be possible to try it on an altcoin nobody cares about? there are a huge number of them, after all
00:08:36 <b_jonas> some of those vaporware projects that never get made are mixes of sensible challenges with complex jokes I guess

00:11:15 <ais523> I guess my esolang research has skewed towards the sensible for a while
00:11:31 <ais523> but then, I'm a major contributor to things like C-INTERCAL, which is close to the pinnacle of the "complex joke" end of the scale
00:13:47 -!- diginet_ has joined.
00:17:29 <b_jonas> ais523: you could call the DOS nethack TAS a good mix of serious and a complex joke I guess
00:17:59 <b_jonas> whereas ayacc and aimake are on the serious side, more so than esolangs in general

00:21:21 -!- Vorpal has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
00:21:27 <ais523> oh, netsplit is coming
00:21:27 <zzo38> ais523: Who do you threaten? Is it a threat?
00:21:50 <ais523> zzo38: it's a threat in that some people might see such an implementation as undesirable, but it's not a threat aimed at anyone in particular
00:22:44 <zzo38> O, OK. I think that if it is a separate file than the other backend then I do not have a problem with it
00:23:23 <ais523> well, all of ayacc is one file to make it easier to distribute, but it would have a separate section in the part of the file that defines backends
00:23:55 <zzo38> Yes, that can work too, I suppose. Use conditional compilation if someone complains
00:25:00 -!- Vorpal has joined.
00:25:25 <b_jonas> ais523: if you implement it, will you also put an open source license declaration in ayacc?
00:25:30 <b_jonas> because then it will be worth
00:25:52 <b_jonas> I don't care for the bf backend as long as it doesn't make the rest of ayacc harder to sue
00:26:25 <ais523> b_jonas: I will probably make ayacc GPLv3 at some point
00:26:28 <b_jonas> I would like some frontend transformations, as well as a stackless C/C++ backend.
00:26:48 <b_jonas> ais523: it is distributable under some such licence, but there's no declaration
00:26:58 <b_jonas> ais523: there's a declaration somewhere in the #esoteric logs
00:27:14 <b_jonas> but not in the source code itself (unless you snuck it in recently)
00:27:18 <ais523> the basic problem is that ayacc is so close to my day job it might be legally unwise for me to work on it at the moment
00:27:31 <ais523> although my day job's diverged a bit since
00:27:40 <b_jonas> which is why the bf backend is a good sigh
00:27:51 <b_jonas> if you can work on the bf backend, then you can probably also work on the license declaration
00:28:07 <zzo38> Yes, you should add properly the valid open-source/free-software license, whether GPLv3 or public domain or something else.
00:29:25 <b_jonas> I think there's no ticket for how any polyform, even a gelcube, will eat apples and pears without cores.
00:30:09 <ais523> b_jonas: I'm not working on the BF backend because of this
00:30:11 <ais523> it's probably the main reason?
00:30:27 <ais523> I'm thinking about it, though; semantic actions are hard
00:30:42 <ais523> perhaps we should restrict it to bignum BF and make the semantic actions into numbers
00:30:46 <ais523> err, semantic /values/ into numbers

00:39:02 <salpynx> Thanks for the ideas. I thought about another altcoin, but then that'd be a lot of learning I'd have to do that would be less generally applicable, anything I learn about bitcoin protocols is more likely to be useful to me or others. Bitcoin has the advantage that there are a lot of exiting libraries to piggyback form or reverse engineer as well, so I don't have to implement everything and can focus on a few jokes.
00:40:03 <salpynx> The GPU idea is good, I don't remotely need to use it for the simple operations I'm aiming for, but it'd be fun to somehow use it for a trivial calculation, just to say it's being used
00:41:32 <b_jonas> salpynx: yes, nor do you need to use brainfuck or blockchains for the simple operations you're aiming for
00:41:58 <b_jonas> ^ proof of concept: hello world, without using bitcoin or blockchains or GPU
00:42:36 <b_jonas> it does run on HackEso through IRC though, so in that sense it is overcomplicated. I could just run hello world locally.
00:44:45 <ais523> b_jonas: currently I'm trying to write a The Waterfall Model interpreter that's has a sufficiently powerful optimiser that it can run a hello world in a reasonable length of t ime
00:45:20 <b_jonas> ais523: hmm, how does that generate output?
00:45:34 <ais523> there's an extension where you can take a useless counter and add specific values to it
00:46:08 <ais523> I wrote the extension recently because being able to produce output makes it easier to reason about what a program is doing (also makes the language more usable on PPCG)
00:46:10 <b_jonas> https://esolangs.org/wiki/The_Waterfall_Model#Output_extension
00:46:16 <ais523> but it's optional and not part of the "core" language
00:52:56 <zzo38> Do you know about mediaeval barber shop prices? Part of this http://zzo38computer.org/gurpsgame/1.ui/wiki?name=Session+17 has a price list does it looks like OK?
00:56:10 <b_jonas> no clue. I've never been to a mediaeval barber.
01:00:00 <ais523> a medieval barber would probably be more expensive nowadays than they would have been in medieval times
01:02:18 <zzo38> Yes, but I mean in medieval times rather than now

02:31:54 <salpynx> zz038: Late medieval prices for a barber surgeon (full healing rather than the smaller things): https://books.google.com/books?id=3TuNOcTEXigC&pg=PA113 The battle healing on your list seems very good value!
02:38:20 <zzo38> Do you have the one without Google Books?
02:42:02 <salpynx> https://archive.org/details/dailylifeinchauc00forg it needs to be "borrowed" though
02:43:27 <zzo38> Do you just have a plain text version of the price list?
02:43:35 <zzo38> (Retype it if you have to)
02:43:38 <salpynx> Also https://www.jstor.org/stable/24620701 looks like a relevant paper which also uses John Ardene as an original source, from JSTOR, but I can't find a directly accessible full copy
02:44:10 <zzo38> I do not need a full copy of the book
02:48:33 <salpynx> Most of the professional practitioners were in London, In other large towns there might be a few physicians and surgeons, but medicine was primarily in the hands of the barber-surgeons and barber-tonsors. The countryside was served only by part-time healers, unless a patient was wealthy enough to import the services of a professional.
02:48:46 <salpynx> Treatment by a highly skilled practitioner could be very expensive: Arderne recommended a fee of 100 marks for a great person, £40 for lesser people, and £5 as a minimum. In principle, medical practitioners were supposed to treat the poor free of charge, but it is unlikely that they devoted much of their valuable time to such charity.
02:49:11 <salpynx> 2nd sentence is about all that is relevant for full healing
02:51:18 <zzo38> Five pounds is a lot more than I put. I suppose many poor people are unlikely to be able to read the price list anyways
02:58:32 <zzo38> I changed the price for "healing wounds from battle" now it is increased to five pounds. I do not remember exactly what prices the GM said, but I think it wasn't higher than that. Once the GM reads it, if he remember what he said, and also once he reads the footnote I added, then he might tell me to change it (he has the ability to change it by himself, but he doesn't use that, and I do instead).
03:03:49 <salpynx> 20s for an application of Mercury ointment for treating scabies from the JSOR paper (16 pages), not many other specifics though. A lot about treating paupers for free and from others accepting "presents of fowls and ducks"
