15:09:53 <myname> depending on the phone, thy might react to putting them on a charger
15:10:04 <kspalaiologos> funny?
15:10:15 <kspalaiologos> it was nearly fully charged
15:10:24 <kspalaiologos> also holding the power button should give any feedback
15:10:26 -!- heroux has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
15:10:58 <kspalaiologos> even when it's battery is depleted (that's how you say it in english?)
15:11:20 <arseniiv> maybe just “is low”
15:12:23 <kspalaiologos> when it's low the phone is still usable
15:12:28 <kspalaiologos> depleted sounds more logical to me
15:12:42 <kspalaiologos> or even drained?
15:12:54 <fizzie> Arguably, if it's literally "depleted", it's not going to provide any feedback, because it's not like the screen actually runs without electricity. But granted, usually there's some feedback from long-press, because it's just low enough to not work, not completely empty.
15:13:26 <kspalaiologos> fizzie, most phones are protected from depleting their battery completely
15:13:53 <kspalaiologos> rather it's better IMO to call them depleted in the logical sense - phone refuses to run
15:14:23 <fizzie> If it's an Android one, it's possible the bootloader is still reachable over USB. I had a Nexus 5X die that way.
15:14:43 <myname> well, it can only respond to holding the power button if you don't have a broken power button
15:15:09 <kspalaiologos> I didn't have issues with it before
15:15:27 <kspalaiologos> can't believe that it broke down completely in my pocket in around 2-3 hours

15:22:52 <arseniiv> :(
15:25:25 <arseniiv> kspalaiologos: ah wait when you open it there should be a small hole somewhere, and pushing inside with a pen or something like that should reset something and maybe the phone would be able to say something the next time you hold the power button
15:26:58 <arseniiv> I think I have made something this way when an SD card in my phone broke and it tried to fix the card and was booting for ages I had no patience to wait if it will boot at all
15:27:43 <arseniiv> though I don’t remember the details what and why I have done, but that reset button was used I think

16:37:33 <int-e> Oh that's what you meant, I see. Yeah, that used to work at some point, but Google is very much of a moving target.
16:38:41 <fizzie> Oh yes. Though the answer box is probably a lot easier to scrape than the interactive unit converter widget. Not that I've ever looked at how the HTML looks like for either.
16:40:06 <fizzie> Anyway, there's a lot of user agenting going on to decide what to serve.
16:40:34 <fizzie> (Heh, I wonder how lambdabot queries appear in our browser classification.)
16:44:03 <int-e> I'm wondering what IP it actually uses for this. (IPv4 or IPv6 is the main question here)
16:45:28 <kmc> compromise on IPv5
16:45:45 <fizzie> Hey, the world has just (as in, mid-December) crossed 30% for IPv6: https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html
16:47:39 <int-e> somebody should tell the mobile phone providers
16:48:07 <fizzie> I suspect most of that is likely mobile/
16:48:17 <fizzie> There were a few high-profile mobile providers that went IPv6.
16:48:21 <int-e> "inet 100.73.48.224"
16:49:41 <int-e> Not here in Austria (or Germany for that matter), as far as I know.
16:50:10 <fizzie> Germany is apparently 51.3% IPv6.
16:50:13 <int-e> They have invested heavily in NAT, they have to use it ;)
16:50:35 <int-e> Yeah, maybe it happened and I just don't know.
16:51:02 <fizzie> The examples listed in Wikipedia for Germany are pretty DSL-y, nothing about mobile.
16:51:15 <int-e> I can believe it for DSL.
16:51:50 <fizzie> Over in USA, T-Mobile and Verizon both went IPv6, I think that's what contributed mostly over there.
17:02:55 <fizzie> Hey, my phone has an IPv6 address from Three UK, that's actually new. It didn't use to.
17:03:59 <fizzie> (v4 in 10/8, v6 in 2a04:4a40::/29.)

17:08:57 <kspalaiologos> even the third one?

17:10:05 <fizzie> I'm pretty happy with Google as an employer, but there are also well-documented-in-the-media things that are less than perfect.
17:10:15 <myname> my number one question for google would by: why is youtube so horrible
17:10:39 <kspalaiologos> they must have forced you to say that
17:12:01 <int-e> myname: Because youtube is not really for you; you're the product that is being sold to advertisers.
17:12:21 <fizzie> I think there's at least one "open" "report" for HackEso too, I just keep forgetting about it. I think I was suggesting the GitHub issue tracker to keep track of them, but it might not be enabled.
17:12:45 <myname> int-e: well, to sell users you better treat them well enough
17:12:57 <kspalaiologos> you don't need to

17:28:20 <int-e> yeah

17:33:42 <myname> banner blindness is an interesting topic
17:33:48 <int-e> There's a conundrum though... if we could start over in the mid 90s, what would we have to do differently to end up with a web where creators are being paid, and where users are not being tracked nor exposed to advertisements?

18:46:30 <arseniiv> also I think I should post this here one more time: https://i.postimg.cc/Wz9tnJcy/mr-postman.png
18:46:54 <arseniiv> this is what I arguably feel when I see “<lambdabot> You don't have any messages”

19:44:29 <int-e> Okay, I've achieved my PE goal... now all I need to do is stop looking at the site!
19:45:19 <kspalaiologos> it's 2020
19:45:25 <kspalaiologos> and delete system32 is still funny
19:45:27 <kspalaiologos> gosh
19:46:12 <int-e> not that kind of PE

20:10:02 <fizzie> Heh, got a "your December performance in Google Search" report for esolangs.org. I don't think they've sent this before.
20:10:18 <fizzie> Apparently https://esolangs.org/wiki/C+ is our top growing page, which is a little sad.
20:10:27 <fizzie> (The Intcode article comes second.)
20:11:09 <fizzie> It also reveals we don't get that many visitors, but that's not really a surprise.
20:16:07 <int-e> How many of the visitors do not come via google?

20:40:00 <mroman> evening lads
20:44:26 <mroman> b_jonas: how's your blsq trip going? What did you do with it? Did it work as intended?
20:44:39 <mroman> (I'm also customer feedback agent)
20:56:16 -!- mroman has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
20:57:12 -!- mroman has joined.
21:00:59 <b_jonas> mroman: hello. I didn't really do anything with blsq apart from the few sentences that I tried on the irc channel
21:02:32 <b_jonas> I've been programming in python at work to process stupid tables with inconsistent data 
21:05:12 <mroman> blsq's gonna help you with that
21:05:16 <mroman> that's what blsq is good at
21:05:22 <b_jonas> sure
21:05:53 <b_jonas> the hard part is not finding the inconsistencies, it's figuring out what the correct values in the table should be when the person who created those tables is my very busy boss so I have limited time getting answers from it
21:06:13 <b_jonas> and yes, blsq would probably also work for that, but I don't want to learn it
21:06:46 <kspalaiologos> I've read more of the J book on their website
21:06:48 <b_jonas> though if you want, I can ask a few questions about whether some things are easy to do in blsq if you want to support such applications
21:08:12 <b_jonas> kspalaiologos: which book? https://www.jsoftware.com/docs/help901/ has multiple books: 
21:08:17 <kspalaiologos> Ye ye
21:08:19 <kspalaiologos> This one
21:08:27 <kspalaiologos> From their website I stated that before 
21:08:35 <b_jonas> the Dictionary https://www.jsoftware.com/docs/help901/dictionary/contents.htm which is made of two parts, a reference part in the right column and the essay part on the left;
21:08:43 <kspalaiologos> Seen it
21:08:50 <kspalaiologos> The language is so damn simple 
21:08:53 <kspalaiologos> Yet powerful 
21:08:57 <b_jonas> the Primer https://www.jsoftware.com/docs/help901/primer/contents.htm is a tutorial by Ken Iverson in his crazy terse style;
21:09:10 <kspalaiologos> Seen his first J interpreter
21:09:14 <b_jonas> "J for C Programmerse" https://www.jsoftware.com/docs/help901/jforc/contents.htm a more normal tutorial,
21:09:20 -!- blsqbot has joined.
21:09:27 <kspalaiologos> ^I'll sure love that
21:09:28 <b_jonas> "Learning J" https://www.jsoftware.com/docs/help901/learning/contents.htm a tutorial that I don't know,

21:09:42 <b_jonas> Phrases https://www.jsoftware.com/docs/help901/phrases/contents.htm a very obsolete snippet collection
21:09:44 <mroman> ez
21:09:50 <kspalaiologos> I spent a lot of my time on C
21:09:58 <kspalaiologos> And I guess that will be helpful 
21:09:59 <b_jonas> and User https://www.jsoftware.com/docs/help901/user/contents.htm which documents the parts of the system that isn't the core language
21:10:07 <kspalaiologos> Oh and is there some like general documentation 
21:10:16 <kspalaiologos> When I want something I Google it 
21:10:32 <kspalaiologos> Like "haskell random numbers" 
21:10:43 <kspalaiologos> But with J it doesn't work 
21:10:44 <b_jonas> mroman: by the way, have you modified blsqbot so it can reply in private message (or in #esoteric-blah if you don't want private messages)?
21:10:48 <mroman> there was even a realworldburlesque article about working with csv data stuff.
21:10:57 <mroman> not yet no.
21:11:15 <kspalaiologos> Brb
21:11:17 <mroman> but that's on my list todo
21:11:17 <b_jonas> kspalaiologos: IRC often helps with J, specifically the #jsoftware channel on freenode
21:11:25 -!- blsqbot has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
21:12:25 <kspalaiologos> Cool
21:12:33 <kspalaiologos> [ 'hello' 
21:12:34 <j-bot> kspalaiologos: hello
21:12:37 <kspalaiologos> Yay
21:13:24 <mroman> let me see how this IRC parsing works.
21:13:25 -!- blsqbot has joined.
21:13:35 <b_jonas> mroman: so anyway, here's some parts of what I did in my python scripts. 
21:13:55 -!- blsqbot has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
21:14:31 <b_jonas> I read and write a CSV files that are encoded in UTF-16-LE with a byte order mark in the start, lines separated by LF or CRLF, fields separated by tab, fields can be quoted by double quotes in which case they can contain lf or crlf or double quotes escaped as two double quotes, 
21:14:49 <kspalaiologos> The J for C programmers book seems awesome
21:14:54 -!- Sgeo_ has joined.
21:15:00 <kspalaiologos> Very objectively written 
21:15:14 <b_jonas> and in such quoted fields I want to keep the distinction between lf and crlf, but outside of quotes, I want to consider lf and crlf the same line separator;
21:16:08 <b_jonas> some (but not all) of these csv files have multiple tables in them, each one is followed by an empty line and starts with three header lines.
21:17:09 <b_jonas> I both read such files to a simple structure in memory and write such files, sometimes by modifying an existing file, sometimes by keeping the header from an existing file but discarding the rows and adding new ones.
21:17:58 <b_jonas> I detect most of the formatting errors, I verify that the columns that I care about are the correct ones by checking the column header, but also allow additional columns to the right of known columns and keep values in them.

21:19:08 <mroman> !blsq "hi"Q
21:19:08 -!- blsqbot has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
21:19:15 <b_jonas> mroman: so a question is, how do I read or write an UTF-16-LE text file in blsq, discarding the BOM on reading if there is one at the start, adding a BOM at the start for writing?
21:19:37 <mroman> uh. then don't use blsq
21:19:40 <mroman> it uses unicode
21:19:44 <mroman> I don't think it has bytewise stuff
21:19:55 <b_jonas> mroman: yes, it's unicode. UTF-16 is a simple unicode encoding.
21:20:11 <b_jonas> one of the simplest ones 
21:20:29 <b_jonas> there's no bytewise stuff here
21:20:42 <b_jonas> I may want bytewise stuff for other applications, but not this one in particular
21:21:55 -!- blsqbot has joined.
21:22:08 <mroman> blsq just uses the encoding it was compiled with.
21:22:12 <kspalaiologos> J is hard but it must be rewarding to learn it
21:22:14 <mroman> !blsq "hi"Q
21:23:45 -!- blsqbot has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).

23:40:35 <fizzie> The best argument against people talking about "C/C++" is to point out that it's undefined because it has a side effect on a scalar object that's unsequenced relative to a value computation using the value of the same scalar object (C18 6.5p2).
23:41:45 <b_jonas> hehe
