05:38:49 <shachaf> Is the "top-level scope" in a file really like a regular scope or do languages just trick you to make it look like one?
05:39:15 <shachaf> It seems pretty different.
05:41:04 <pikhq> Pretty sure it's regular in Tcl.
05:41:08 <pikhq> But Tcl is a weirdo.
05:42:04 <shachaf> OK, one property of regular scopes is typically that "{ a; b; c; }" means the same as "{ a; { b; c; } }", and if b is a declaration, it's only visible inside the inner block.
05:42:21 <shachaf> I guess that's actually still true in C.
05:43:09 <shachaf> But say you have a thing that reads multiple files and lets declarations refer to each other -- then that's not true anymore.
05:43:14 <shachaf> Definitions are being exported.
05:43:45 <shachaf> I want to have things that modify a scope, as in "const { int x = 1; int y = 2; }" instead of "const int x = 1; const int y = 2;". But I want those declarations to go into the same scope as the regular declarations.
05:43:53 <shachaf> (const is maybe not the best example but you get the idea.)
05:44:28 <shachaf> It's possible that "exported" declarations should be marked explicitly rather than just looking like regular variable declarations?

06:20:05 <int-e> btc is weird... why do you split inputs like this? https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/block/530048/183hmJGRuTEi2YDCWy5iozY8rZtFwVgahM
06:25:29 <shachaf> Is there something special about that transaction?
06:25:50 <int-e> It's padded. All the inputs come from the same address.
06:26:00 <Sgeo__> I think I accidentally defined a homogenous coordinate system
06:26:22 <Sgeo__> nVidia has an equation PsInput.x += Separation*(〖PsInput〗_w-Convergence)
06:26:46 <Sgeo__> I decided I wanted to be able to represent PsInput.x += some_constant, which that equation doesn't allow
06:26:51 <int-e> So why would you pad transactions... to slow down the overall transaction rate maybe? This was at a local BTC price peak, too. I don't know.
06:27:01 <Sgeo__> So x += realSep * w - virtualSep * Convergence
06:27:19 <Sgeo__> When realSep = 0, then the equation cannot be converted to the nVidia form
06:27:38 <Sgeo__> (is equation the right word here? It feels wrong. Formula?)
06:28:14 <Sgeo__> * when realSep = 0 and virtualSep and Convergence are non-9
06:28:48 <int-e> Anyway, enough time wasted on this. (I started looking into this because I tried to understand this peak: https://www.blockchain.com/charts/output-volume?timespan=30days
06:30:31 <int-e> ... bit as far as I can see this is just many transactions siphoning off tiny amounts from a single rich address (output of transaction = balance of input). So basically how a bitcoin exchange might operate.)
06:31:01 <shachaf> int-e: I saw that, but I meant why you were looking at it in the first place, or whether this is common.
06:31:04 <int-e> But meh I really shouldn't waste time on this.
06:32:53 <int-e> I don't know whether this kind of padding is a common tactic, I don't even know what exactly it's supposed to achieve.
06:33:22 <int-e> It's a curiosity, really. Odd enough to make me wonder, not important enough to make me care.

08:25:16 <cpressey> I was thinking you'd write (f $ g x)
08:25:34 <shachaf> I should've lowercased that because it was very much not serious.

08:32:22 <cpressey> shachaf: Your error handling thing reminds me of "lexical exceptions", though I don't remember if it's something I saw somewhere, or something I made up once
08:32:46 <cpressey> In "lexical exceptions" you're only allowed to throw X in a location that is lexically enclosed by a catch X

08:34:20 <cpressey> That doesn't make them totally static, for example if you have local functions, you could write a recursive function inside that lexical block, and throw inside it
08:34:40 <shachaf> Is X an exception type or something lexically bound?
08:35:19 <cpressey> I am sorely tempted to tell you it is a lexically bound exception type
08:35:46 <cpressey> It's some kind of exception type, sure.
08:35:46 <shachaf> I think I'm asking what sort of identifier X is, or where it comes from.
08:36:36 <cpressey> When you throw, you almost always throw a newly-created value, whether it is a value of type "exception" (as it usually is), or not
08:36:51 <cpressey> Throwing existing values is... not something I've seen done.

08:37:27 -!- heroux has joined.
08:37:28 <cpressey> Maybe you make up a new exception value, out of some local variables you have - that's common.
08:37:34 <shachaf> I'm confused about what binds the values.
08:37:55 <cpressey> I don't know what you mean by that.
08:38:12 -!- Lord_of_Life has joined.
08:38:31 <shachaf> Maybe you can write a more specific example?
08:39:56 <cpressey> try { raise KeyError(12); } catch KeyError(n) { print(n); } <-- is ok
08:40:20 <cpressey> try { foo(); /* which raises KeyError */ } catch KeyError(n) { print(n); } <-- is not ok, is not lexical
08:40:51 <wob_jonas> cpressey: so you only have lexical gotos?
08:41:32 <cpressey> btw, I hate that the opposite of "catch" is "throw" but the opposite of "raise" is "lower", and I usually end up saying "raise" and "catch" even though they're not opposites
08:41:39 <shachaf> I was wondering whether you meant something like "try { raise foo; } catch foo { ... }" where the identifier "foo" is bound by the catch.
08:43:29 <cpressey> wob_jonas: I guess so, but as I noted, they're still dynamic w.r.t. the stack, if you have e.g. a local recursive function in that lexical block
08:43:33 <wob_jonas> cpressey: I recommend "raise" and "except" then, as in python3
08:43:51 <shachaf> Can you give a recursive function example?
08:44:19 <shachaf> I don't really understand what you mean.
08:44:47 <cpressey> try { var f = function(m) { if m < 100 then f(m+1) else raise KeyError(13); } catch ...
08:44:48 <shachaf> Oh, I see, you mean you *define* a function inside a try.
08:44:59 <shachaf> Right, I'd just figured out what you meant.
08:45:50 <wob_jonas> but what happens if you copy f and leak it out of that scope? do you get a full call/cc?
08:46:45 <cpressey> wob_jonas: I guess it raises an exception that will never be caught. I guess you could also try to prevent it from leaking out.
08:47:08 <shachaf> This seems like a bizarre combination.
08:47:27 <cpressey> Well, I think this must be something I made up, rather than something I encountered somewhere.
09:24:28 -!- arseniiv has joined.
09:29:41 <cpressey> wob_jonas: I guess making the exception thrown by the escaped function, get caught by the lexical catch handler, would be a sensible way to handle it too (given that approximately none of this is very sensible)
09:30:21 <wob_jonas> cpressey: in that case what you have is a call/cc

11:01:10 <int-e> . o O ( cpressey doesn't believe in type signatures )
11:03:03 <int-e> oh I've found a few.
11:05:09 <cpressey> https://gist.github.com/cpressey/030883cadaf9a12a802cd6c95affc01e
11:06:22 <cpressey> It *does* reduce the number of parens, just like it does in Haskell. Whether it does so nicely, or not, I don't know.
11:06:32 <int-e> cpressey: now I want to get rid of the outermost parentheses as well
11:06:59 <int-e> (and `if` is a bit awkward
11:07:51 <cpressey> int-e: Why don't I believe in type signatures?
11:07:55 <int-e> I've used ghc's BlockArguments for if-then-else last weekend... https://gist.github.com/int-e/57eefc6cce29ed47ddaaca13a0774533#file-quine-hs-L319-L329
11:08:03 <int-e> cpressey: because your code uses them so sparingly
11:08:23 <int-e> cpressey: whereas I, almost religiously, put signatures on all top-level bindings.
11:08:34 <int-e> partly as documentation, partly to localize type errors
11:09:49 <cpressey> int-e: If I thought of these modules as public, I would probably try harder to do that. But this is largely experimental stuff.
11:09:57 <int-e> (The latter was the driving factor historically. I just got tired of working on modifying a function and getting a type error in a different function as a result.)
11:10:14 <wob_jonas> cpressey: I think some older lisps (of the common lisp side, not the scheme side) had this syntax extension where you can use square brackets as well as round parens, and a close square bracket closes all round paren that was open since the matching open square bracket
11:10:41 <wob_jonas> cpressey: is your dollar sign syntax the same, except you write round parenthesis instead of square brackets and a dollar sign instead of a left round parenthesis?
11:11:00 <wob_jonas> because if so, then the bracket thing is more general
11:12:15 <int-e> cpressey: anyway indentation is the best bracket-avoiding mechanism. ;)
11:13:07 <cpressey> wob_jonas: I don't like the "this one close paren closes all open parens" approach because the parens are unbalanced.
11:14:59 <cpressey> int-e: re ifThenElse, I was wondering on the weekend if Haskell's `if` couldn't just be defined as a function :: Boolean -> a -> a
11:15:19 <cpressey> `then` and `else` are good syntax though, justifies the sugar
11:15:20 <HackEso> /srv/hackeso-code/multibot_cmds/lib/limits: line 5: exec: then`: not found
11:16:00 <int-e> cpressey: there are advocates of that idea, but if-then-else is common enough and the alternative would have more parentheses and worse (usually type) errors.
11:17:47 <int-e> cpressey: the main downside, I guess, is that the syntax really only works for booleans; it can't be overloaded for a DSL.
11:19:16 <wob_jonas> cpressey: sure, in a *lazy* language you can define it as a function, only in haskell you have to call it something different from "if" because that name is taken by a keyword
11:20:04 <wob_jonas> but I'm used to strict languages, where it can't be defined as a plain function
11:20:06 <int-e> (A secondary issue is that I never really know how to layout if-then-else, especially inside do blocks. I do something, but it never feels right and I'm not sure how consistent I am... might be worth checking.)
11:20:16 <cpressey> wob_jonas: my point was they didn't need to define that keyword, they could've made `if` a function defined in the prelude
11:20:53 <cpressey> int-e: I have the same issue, I usually avoid it and use `case` instead
11:20:57 <wob_jonas> I think the function is there in the libraries under some other name

11:25:05 <wob_jonas> myname: that's hard in the original Haskell type system

11:39:04 <fizzie> @pl \c a b -> bool a b c
11:40:13 <cpressey> I don't even know enough Haskell syntax to write a `case` on one line
11:40:22 <fizzie> @pl \a b c -> if c then a else b
11:40:51 <fizzie> Maybe it just knows enough about if' to translate if/then/else into it.
11:40:54 <wob_jonas> cpressey: it's like case expr of { pat0 => expr0; pat1 => expr1; }
11:41:26 <wob_jonas> I'm not sure, I don't remember haskell syntax
11:41:48 <int-e> > case otherwise of False -> "oops"; True -> "okay!"
11:41:54 <int-e> > case otherwise of { False -> "oops"; True -> "okay!" }
11:42:50 <int-e> => in case is the mark of an ML programmer?
11:44:21 <cpressey> OK. I think it is just that @pl does not parse the syntax.
11:44:46 <int-e> cpressey: how would you make \b f t -> if b then f else t point-free?
11:45:06 <int-e> @pl would just not work with the syntax.
11:45:41 <wob_jonas> @pl \b f t -> if b then f else t -- @pl parses all of Haskell syntax, didn't you know?
11:45:56 <int-e> It really doesn't.
11:45:59 <wob_jonas> @pl \b f t -> if b then f else t {- such as block comments -}
11:46:21 <wob_jonas> and that thing with the minus sign that I saw the last time
11:46:22 <int-e> @pl \xs -> case xs of [] -> not; x:xs -> supported
11:47:03 <int-e> @pl f x | odd x = 1 | otherwise = 2
11:47:13 <int-e> > @pl f x = if odd x then 1 else 2
11:47:15 <lambdabot> <hint>:1:1: error: parse error on input ‘@’
11:47:20 <int-e> @pl f x = if odd x then 1 else 2
11:48:10 <int-e> @pl is an awful hack, really.
11:49:12 <cpressey> int-e: I'm not qualified to say how one could write `if'` point-free.
11:52:05 <cpressey> My inclination would be to write it in CPS. Which doesn't help?
11:53:06 <int-e> You need a destructor for Bool. Something like if' or bool. ;-)
11:53:49 <int-e> Or maybe a way of sectioning anything.
11:54:03 <int-e> (if then else) b t f = (if b then t else f) ;-)
11:56:06 <cpressey> "You need something else to complete it, something like if' itself" sounds a bit like my thought process was, yeah
11:57:33 <lambdabot> Num t1 => t2 -> t3 -> (t2, t1, t3)
11:58:21 <cpressey> Sometimes Haskell reminds me of PL/I
11:58:43 <cpressey> "If some sequence of characters has a reasonable interpretation, the language will make that interpretation"
12:01:30 <myname> sounds also a lot like irp
12:03:40 <lambdabot> • Couldn't match expected type ‘Integer -> t’
12:03:41 <lambdabot> with actual type ‘(Integer, Integer)’
12:04:03 <lambdabot> • Data constructor not in scope: Int
12:04:08 <lambdabot> <hint>:1:14: error: parse error on input ‘Int’
12:09:15 <int-e> well, a lot of things don't work as types
12:09:25 <int-e> if-then-else, case expressions...
12:09:48 <int-e> in fact, since sections are lambdas, sections cannot really be expected to work on the type level

12:40:51 <arseniiv> <int-e> You need a destructor for Bool. Something like if' or bool. ;-) => yeah, why isn’t it standard yet?
