02:49:31 <imode> 2020-02-02-20:20:02:02 is coming up.
02:54:31 <kmc> thanks for reminding me
02:54:57 <kmc> I'm in PST
03:01:06 <imode> up here in washington.
03:09:26 <zzo38> Due to my testing, TeXnicard image mask format seems to work better for its purpose than the other formats I have tried. Maybe it is useful outside of TeXnicard; I don't know. (It is called TeXnicard image mask format because the format was invented for TeXnicard, although it may be useful with other applications too.)
03:10:05 <zzo38> http://zzo38computer.org/fossil/texnicard.ui/artifact/24fb5fb375602b54
03:13:31 <zzo38> Do you know of a similar format?
04:21:04 <imode> happy uber-palindrome day, west coast.
04:21:23 <zzo38> There is the timeline of programming languages in Wikipedia, but many of them they do not explain it much.

18:25:42 <kmc> various types of books
18:27:00 <kmc> people in this channel might enjoy the novel Recursion by Blake Crouch
18:28:25 <rain1> woah i just read that
18:28:31 <rain1> that's the first book i read this year
18:28:43 <rain1> i really liked it, did you like it?
18:31:05 <kmc> I thought it was great
18:31:45 <kmc> have you read anything by Nick Harkaway?

19:28:57 <b_jonas> The Giant, author of the O strip, has caved in. he previously claimed that he doesn't want to accept donations, because he's already behind with the Kickstarter run (due to both overpromising and his hand injury),
19:29:33 <b_jonas> and doesn't want to accept money if he can't give any thing concrete in exchange, but can't promise new things either until he finishes the Kickstarter. So he said that if you want to support him, buy his books or the various merchandise.
19:30:08 <b_jonas> But now, he set up a Patreon for donations, with the pretty good excuse that it helps cover costs of the server for the forum, and
19:31:01 <b_jonas> simultaneously claims that there won't be extra content locked behind the Patreon and that he'll release higher resolution versions of new OotS strips to supporters.
19:31:28 <b_jonas> Perhaps those are both true if he releases those high resolution versions to the general public a week later.

20:50:13 <zzo38> I am reading the documentation for Information Processing Language, which apparently influenced Lisp.
20:52:26 <zzo38> C is mostly good (and many of the programming languages trying to replace C tend to do it worse, in my opinion, although LLVM has some good features, but it isn't perfect either), but some things are bad, such as the syntax for octal numbers, and the syntax for types. And some things are difficult such as self-modifying code, associating data with a function (LLVM can do this), the preprocessor isn't good enough, etc

22:21:57 <zzo38> I found a document where they compress pictures with a solid colour to compare the compression of different formats. PBM (either ASCII or binary, although they only consider the ASCII format) is O(n), and JPEG and lossy WebP also seems to be O(n) (but with a better constant factor). GIF works better than those formats, but has two "bumps"; the author of the document doesn't know why, but my guess is LZW resetting.
22:27:34 <zzo38> GIF and the others are still monotonic though. (Also, I think GIF does not actually require LZW resetting, and can continue using the maximum code, although the encoder presumably resets it anyways.) PNG, BPG, and lossless WebP all compress better than that, but are non-monotonic (for PNG, this is probably due to the filter bytes; for BPG, I don't know why). FLIF is best; it is O(1) and always fifteen bytes long.
22:32:03 <zzo38> TeXnicard image mask format is O(log n) in the case of a solid colour, although still it is usually smaller than FLIF except for very huge pictures. Farbfeld compressed with bzip2 (which they have not considered, but I have) seems to work better in this case than WebP, but worse than FLIF.
