00:09:15 <fizzie> I ran that last command from the command line, and it produced the following output: https://zem.fi/tmp/cpm-out.txt
00:09:26 <fizzie> Not sure why that wouldn't have been captured when executed by the bot, though in general the output handling via UML fake terminal devices can get a little quirky.
00:10:16 <fizzie> Yeah, there's no output if I add a `| cat` at the end.
00:11:03 <fizzie> Which usually means something along the chain switched from unbuffered or line-buffered output into a fully-buffered mode, did not complete a full block of output, and then terminated due to the timeout.
00:29:10 <b_jonas> ais523: by the way, https://logs.esolangs.org/libera-esolangs/2026-03.html#lAC is wrong, it's called Rem instead of Mod because the method isn't called mod because mod is a keyword for making namespaces in Rust.
00:35:47 <b_jonas> fizzie: no, line-buffering is the fault of the /hackenv/bin/\` and /hackenv/bin/\`\` commands, because those invoke the rnooodl filter that's implemented in a silly way and only lets through full lines. I was considering to replace them with a better implementation at some point, but eventually hadn't done it.
00:36:40 <b_jonas> `` (w=25; echo -n $s$' hello\nworld'; sleep $w)
00:36:47 <b_jonas> `` (w=35; echo -n $s$' hello\nworld'; sleep $w)
00:37:25 <HackEso> No output.
00:37:28 <HackEso> No output.
00:37:31 <b_jonas> `` (w=15; echo -n $s$' hello\nworld'; sleep $w)

00:39:09 <HackEso> run hello \ world
00:39:41 <HackEso> No output.
00:41:32 <b_jonas> Sgeo: ^ the \` or \`` commands might swallow output if their command times out. use a different command if this may be a problem, or save important output to a file.
00:44:30 <fizzie> The output in question had more than one line, though.
00:46:08 <fizzie> There's in general a thing in C <stdio.h> facilities that the standard output stream becomes fully buffered if the output is not an interactive device, which isn't something the receiving end of the pipe has any control over.
00:54:02 -!- ski has quit (Quit: Lost terminal).
00:55:32 <fizzie> Though it is probably true that that's unrelated to what was eating the output there, because as I recall, umlbox itself by default will make the output of the executed command be a pipe (with the rationale that some commands may switch to a more IRC-friendly output when that's the case).
00:56:28 <fizzie> `run echo -e '#include <stdio.h> \n #include <unistd.h> \n int main(void) { printf("default\\nfully\\nbuffered\\n"); sleep(35); }' | gcc -x c - -o /tmp/x && /tmp/x
00:56:48 <fizzie> `run echo -e '#include <stdio.h> \n #include <unistd.h> \n int main(void) { printf("overridden\\nto\\nunbuffered\\n"); sleep(35); }' | gcc -x c - -o /tmp/x && stdbuf -o0 /tmp/x
00:57:06 <HackEso> No output.
00:57:24 <HackEso> overridden \ to \ unbuffered
00:59:03 <fizzie> On a mostly unrelated note, there should possibly be some sort of an extra marker that the timeout ended up getting triggered.
01:26:11 <fizzie> Oh, the umlbox behavior was a little subtler than that. The Python side does `cat_output=not os.isatty(1)`, and the init binary then adds a built-in pipe into cat if that's set. So it may still play a role here, because as mentioned I get that output when calling umlbox from the command line, but not when I pipe that into cat, neither of which involves rnooodl.

16:52:09 <b_jonas> we need a file system mount option, a compiler setting for Fortran (we have to figure out the interaction with implicitly declared variables because normally a variable whose name starts with K defaults to integer but one whose names starts with G defaults to float), and a linker

17:21:25 <b_jonas> I guess a compiler could have several different case folding settings for different kinds of identifiers, each of which you could set to case-sensitive, case-insensitive, case-and-voice-insensitive. you'd have one for names local to the compilation unit, one for extern names, one for what rule to assume the linker will use (so that eg. the compiler mangles fortran function names to lowercase), one for C
17:21:31 <b_jonas> struct/union tags (which supposedly have to match across compilation units, but in practice aren't mangled so only a sufficiently smart link-time optimizer will care about), one for C++ struct type names, one for C++ typedef names (where one name could have a different meaning in different compilation units, but if one is used inside the definition of a struct then they do have to match), etc.

18:39:38 <ais523> korvo: there is a lot of incomprehensible content being added to the wiki recently, and I partly blame you for it – most people can't distinguish between writing everything in terms of category-theoretic terminology without further explanation, and whatever User:Miui is doing
18:40:01 <ais523> ideally Esolang would be written in a way that people can understand without specialist training, as it has a lot of enthusiastic amateurs

18:42:42 <korvo> ais523: I'm happy to leave. I'm also happy to see everything I write be replaced. But, like, what an attitude to have when LLM-powered chatbots are *right there* as a culprit.
18:42:54 <ais523> korvo: I wasn't talking about LLM-created pages in that
18:42:56 -!- somefan has joined.
18:42:57 <ais523> those have their own issues
18:43:07 <ais523> I do think you're a net positive to the wiki
18:43:15 <ais523> but I also think you struggle to understand most of the other users on it
18:43:18 <korvo> I think Miui and PSTF are using some sort of machine translator. I don't care whether we call it LLMs or chatbots.
18:43:34 <ais523> I didn't get that impression from Miui at all
18:43:57 <ais523> (as in, I think their content is intentionally designed to be that incomprehensible, as opposed to it being a side effect of machine translation)
18:44:06 <ais523> machine-translations don't attempt to use seventh-level headings, for example
18:44:44 <korvo> I don't really struggle to understand. I accept that understanding is impossible in general and try to be receptive to criticism.
18:45:59 <korvo> (If you mean, "why don't you care about other people", I already completely destroyed my personality twice. I'm just not interested in the social aspects of life anymore. I'm only spending my time on incorrectness and misconceptions now.)
18:46:01 <ais523> part of the reason the wiki is a mess is that I have been struggling with mental health and trying to come up with a good way to fix it is going to be a lot of effort
18:46:22 <ais523> and hardly any of the other admins are around often enough to help
18:47:00 <korvo> I acknowledge your health issues. Part of why I recommend deleting large junk pages is to lighten your load so that there's less to be anxious about.
18:47:28 <ais523> well, I'm trying to keep the wiki as a useful resource – "useful" is a concept that is defined in terms of other people, which means caring about them to at least some extent
18:48:42 <ais523> I'm in a weird space of neuro-atypicality where I do end up sympathising/caring about other people just in general (which some people may see as a character flaw) but am also capable of seeing the point of view of people who don't
18:51:00 <ais523> I think maybe being able to even formulate an argument like "you shouldn't murder people, because it gives the community an incentive to try to prevent you killing anyone else in case they are next, so they will fund police to put you in prison" is reprehensible/immoral to many people (because it ignores what would to most people be a much better reason to not kill people), but I'm happy to make that sort of argument if it convinces someone and reduces the
18:51:02 <ais523> number of murders – and the same principle applies even in situations with much lower stakes
18:51:33 <korvo> Too much was asked of me when I was younger, so I am now tit-for-tat and transactional. I also see many of our graffiti artists as youngsters who need active education in order to be good contributors.
18:52:22 <ais523> this means that I'm OK trying to interact with transactional people, as long as I'm not responsible for them in areas beyond the areas I'm supposed to be in control of
18:53:46 <korvo> Also, as a language designer, I think that most pages are vanity pages. That includes pages about my languages, which again I'm happy to see deleted. I don't think vanity is a good usage of a community resource.
18:54:25 <ais523> anyway, having a rule that requires deletion of a large number of pages, especially if it's subjective, would create a lot more work for me because I would need to actually do the deletions and it would be hard to find every page (and to find pages near the borderline and make a decision about them)
18:55:23 <ais523> ah, I think this point of view contradicts the entire purpose of the wiki – it was created as a reaction to pages about esolangs on Wikipedia being deleted on the basis of not being notable enough / verifiable enough / of enough interest to other people
18:55:37 <korvo> I already made clear that I'd be willing to be deputized for such a task. Now, we both know that you don't trust me with elevated privileges, and again I completely understand, respect, and even endorse that lack of trust. But it seems like there's nobody else around who could be trusted, either?
18:56:01 <korvo> So maybe the actual issue isn't about how much time you have, but how little delegation you can perform to offload work.
18:56:06 <ais523> if I had to make someone active an admin I would probably choose None1
18:56:21 <ais523> but, I think before appointing more admins, it is useful to have clear rules
18:56:42 <ais523> back when I was first appointed an admin the rules appeared to be clear and made sense for what was happening at the time, and I just enforced them, everything was great
18:56:52 <ais523> but over time, people have found more grey area in the rules than previously appeared to exist
18:56:55 <korvo> Oh, I'm still not a deletionist. I'm an inclusionist. I also think that including *oneself* is vanity. Ideally we would all work to discuss *each other* without having to ever mention ourselves.
18:57:16 <korvo> Because otherwise we end up with graffiti walls where the objective is for youths to spray their tag without getting reverted.
18:58:03 <ais523> one of my biggest problems is that I am much faster at coming up with ideas than I am at expressing them in a form that can be communicated to others, or recorded durably
18:58:29 <ais523> I get so frustrated because people keep offering to help with "why don't you just tell me and I can write it down for you / translate" but that first step is the difficult one
19:00:04 <ais523> ah, here we go, https://esolangs.org/wiki/Special:Permalink/6507 from 2006: "Articles on languages you made yourself are encouraged, unlike for example Wikipedia. However, these may still be mercilessly edited by others. In most cases this is a good thing."
19:00:13 <ais523> that rule is still in the policy, even with the same wording I think
19:02:28 <ais523> and I'm glad that I can just put my own esolangs onto the wiki – some are more interesting than others, and many of them, perhaps nobody else will care about, but I have no way to tell

20:59:23 <Sgeo> If I do a bunch of stuff locally and want to transfer to HackEso, what would... be a good way of doing that. Need a web host I guess, urgh

21:05:00 <b_jonas> Sgeo: so there's the builtin fetch command, which requires at least a temporary web host, such as a pastebin site, and you can use this to download directly into /hackenv/tmp ; and in theory there should be the https://hack.esolangs.org/edit/ interface, but I think that's not working right now
21:05:20 <b_jonas> fizzie: is the edit interface known to be broken, or do I just not know how to use it
21:05:49 <b_jonas> the edit interface should let you upload data into a file, but I think it has some form encoding problem so I don't know how, if it all, it mangles non-ascii data
21:06:21 <b_jonas> but you can always edit something base64-encoded into /hackenv/tmp and then decode it in a command

21:27:28 <fizzie> Yeah, the edit interface is broken, I forget exactly how but I think it was broken by an upgrade.
21:27:48 <fizzie> Though TBH it's not much more integrated with HackEso than any third-party pastebin.
21:28:26 <fizzie> Other than having that facility of loading an existing file into it for editing.
21:31:01 <fizzie> I guess in principle I could also publish the repository on one of the code-hosting sites that have some sort of a pull request process (and then just manually sync it now and then).
