So it's funny for B to be even more so. 16:15:12 but most of them are from K&R 16:15:20 ah I see 16:15:28 Even less so? 16:15:34 Taneb: what do you consider a string diagram? 16:15:34 Taneb: Do you count languages that use index notation? 16:15:53 I think it's possible to argue for Prolog here, though it's a bit of a stretch. 16:16:44 oh, and there's sbrk 16:17:10 luckily we're rid of creat now, instead we have a versatile vararg function 16:20:42 statc cnst extrn dbl x; // please ignore mixing static and extern in the same declaration 16:21:52 Should I write "int const x;" instead of "const int x;"? 16:21:58 I mean, actually. 16:22:15 it's beautiful by the way, in unix, the creat function is obsolete, you create or open files with open; in winapi, the OpenFile function is obsolete, and you create or open files with CreateFile 16:22:19 It is more cosistent with "int const *const p;", for example. 16:22:38 That consistency was why I was typing up "maybe". 16:23:04 shachaf: I think the FAQ answer to that is "it doesn't matter, do whatever you want", same as with `char *x` versus `char* x` 16:23:20 No, "char *x" is clearly better, because it follows the grammar of the language. 16:23:30 I always write `const int x;` and `char *x` these days, but it's your preference 16:23:35 Just like "sizeof x" is better than "sizeof(x)" 16:23:50 Of course it's fine to have preferences, but that doesn't mean all preferences are equal. 16:24:00 shachaf: those are not the same though 16:24:11 `sizeof x` versus `sizeof(x)` 16:24:13 sizeof?

For types I write "sizeof (T)" 16:24:20 -!- craigo has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds). 16:24:27 Just don't write `int static x;`, because "the placement of a storage-class specifier other than at the beginning of the declaration specifiers in a declaration is an obsolescent feature" (C11 6.11.5p1). 16:24:29 Anyway, "should I prefer X to Y" can still have a useful answer. 16:24:47 fizzie: I'm pretty irritated that gcc warns about "struct Foo { ... } typedef Foo;" 16:24:57 I'd think that you only have to write char* x, y; once and get confused before you switch to char *x, *y; forever ;) 16:24:59 I used to write all my struct typedefs like that. 16:25:25 Since typedef is a storage-class specifier, I think that's an obsolescent feature too. 16:25:33 It sure is. 16:25:42 What a great storage class. 16:26:01 I can only say my preferences. I write `char *x;` and `const int x;` and `char * 16:26:10 f(char *) 16:26:11 {` 16:26:40 i prefer not to write c 16:26:55 Hmm, but C seems like a big upgrade over B. 16:26:57 myname: no no, I write these in C++ 16:27:04 So your suggestion of writing B instead doesn't sound right. 16:27:12 b_jonas: okay, in that case, i _would_ prefer writing c 16:28:16 shachaf: yes, that's because an angel visited K&R and told them about the original language used in heaven that would inspire C, and K&R remembered that and became prophets and copied as much of that language as they could remember in C. it's not a perfect copy, but they got a lot of good features from that. 16:32:21 b_jonas: does the story continue with Stroustrup getting a visit from the devil? 16:32:49 ...it would explain a lot... 16:33:00 I think the string diagrams that I was thinking of is also called Penrose notation 16:33:42 Oh, this is pretty good. 16:33:43 Taneb: what about cat's cradle 16:33:49 All error messages are two characters long. 16:33:56 ? 16:34:03 (that was my `ed` impression) 16:34:04 In B. 16:34:11 int-e: I don't know 16:34:12 Ah. 16:34:37 Taneb: Penrose's paper that talks about those diagrams also talks about abstract index notation. 16:34:42 (And introduced both, maybe?) 16:34:48 It's good, I like that paper. 16:36:48 Anyway, I think you can argue that something like Prolog counts. 16:43:58 -!- atslash has quit (Quit: Leaving). 16:46:28 -!- imode has joined. 16:59:44 Ah, right, they recommend making the first six characters of function and extern variable names unique. 16:59:48 Good reason for the economy. 17:01:33 shachaf: that's because of ancient linkers. C also recommends that. even seebs' IAQ references that. 17:01:49 Right, I remember seeing that before. 17:02:46 https://www.seebs.net/faqs/c-iaq.html#question-10.8\ 17:02:50 argh 17:02:51 https://www.seebs.net/faqs/c-iaq.html#question-10.8 17:04:06 that's why the C threading and thread synchronization functions (which nobody uses, because we already had pthreads, windows threads API, a pthreads compatibility layer for the windows threads API, boost threads, and eventually also the C++ threads library) have such silly names 17:07:47 The best thread API is Linux clone(2) 17:08:03 It is so good that you can only call the system call from assembly, not from C using the syscall wrapper. 17:08:14 what 17:08:18 that's one of the low-level calls that implement pthread functinos 17:08:35 I'd never call it directly 17:08:42 well, not for threading 17:08:46 for namespaces, sure 17:09:00 What if you aren't using libc? 17:09:07 pthreads is done quite well, there's no need to use the low-level stuff 17:09:26 shachaf: do you mean no libc on linux, or no libc on windows? 17:09:37 On Linux. 17:09:48 On Windows you'd use the Window thread API either way presumably. 17:09:54 I don't think I ever do that. that's for esoteric stuff only. 17:10:07 no, on windows I'd use one of the wrappers that I mentioned above 17:10:23 It is called CreateThread. The OpenThread API is deprecated, whereas in Unix the situation is reversed. 17:10:33 Hmm, avoiding libc doesn't seem that esoteric to me. 17:10:50 Compiling programs for Linux that are backward compatible is already a pain. 17:12:20 maybe not esoteric, but then it's not really useful for the programs that I want to write 17:12:37 for linux, again 17:12:46 linux userspace 17:13:32 Usually the glibc wrappers around Linux system calls are worse APIs than the system calls themselves. 17:13:42 clone is an exception, I suppose. 17:14:01 yes, but pthreads is rather carefully designed 17:14:14 it has all sorts of limitations to not add overheads for features that you don't use 17:14:20 well, that's the theory 17:14:23 (The reason you can't use clone to create threads yourself is that it returns twice in the same thread, but in the same address space, so you don't want both threads to continue executing and using the stack.) 17:16:04 shachaf: that's why you also can't use vfork, right? 17:16:33 I think you're allowed to use vfork and use the stack. 17:17:22 in both children? 17:17:23 The original process is suspended until you exec, so modifying unused stack memory is not so bad. 17:17:45 You just can't modify anything else. 17:17:55 ah 17:18:00 well I dunno how these things work tehn 17:18:14 Hmm, maybe I should use vfork more. 17:18:51 Oh, posix_spawn, which I use when possible, uses clone(CLONE_VFORK) on glibc. 17:18:58 So it's not so bad. 17:19:09 is it actualyl guaranteed that it stays stopped, as opposed to that being just an optimization that happens in the common case, but not always happening? 17:19:13 Too bad fork/vfork/clone is a silly API. 17:19:33 Guaranteed by what? 17:19:38 the kernel 17:19:59 posix_spawn is implemented by glibc, it can do all sorts of ugly stuff that I don't want to see. 17:20:19 The parent thread is suspended according to the man page. 17:20:36 Other threads may continue to run. 17:20:40 yes, but does it remain suspended? 17:20:59 "vfork() differs from fork(2) in that the calling thread is suspended until the child terminates (either normally, by calling _exit(2), or abnormally, after delivery of a fatal signal), or it makes a call to execve(2)." 17:22:07 I thought there was like a 30 year old email where Linus threatens everyone that if they abuse vfork, he'll make it a synonym of fork, and I think that's still canon, in that if a future kernel does that, you keep the pieces 17:22:33 oh right, if that happens, the two children have a stack each 17:22:35 sorry 17:23:15 Yes, vfork is very restricted in what it can do. fork would be a valid implementation. 17:23:31 I wrote this wrapper around posix_spawn: https://slbkbs.org/tmp/dspawn.h 17:24:15 But then I never ended up using it. 17:32:02 I don't like vfork() and had idea implementing cfork() instead, which is different in some ways, such as registers being shared too; in this case it is possible for execve to return 0 if it is successful 17:36:38 My preference would be to abandon fork entirely. It's mostly silly. 17:36:50 Instead, have system calls to create threads or processes directly. 17:37:12 One way to get the benefits of fork would be to allow some system calls to affect other processes. 17:37:46 -!- Sgeo has joined. 17:37:54 So you could create a blank process, and then tell it to open, dup2, etc., and then to execve. 17:40:22 Being able to call e.g. mmap in another process's address space would also be useful for debuggers. 17:40:39 Windows's VirtualAllocEx takes a process handle argument. 17:42:44 being able to call mmap on another process's address space would be useful for attacking software 17:46:18 [[Special:Log/newusers]] create * Abbin21 * New user account 17:52:42 [[Esolang:Introduce yourself]] M https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76385&oldid=76374 * Abbin21 * (+296) /* Introductions */ 18:31:02 -!- ineiros has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds). 18:37:25 -!- Phantom__Hoover has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 18:42:13 -!- kritixilithos has quit (Quit: quit). 19:07:27 -!- Phantom__Hoover has joined. 19:13:14 -!- craigo has joined. 19:31:24 Won't that make the interface for open/dup2/etc complicated though? 20:41:36 [[Casini]] N https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?oldid=76386 * Abbin21 * (+1902) Created page with "== Operators and INTs == There are four operators in casinii, which are represented by the four colors of playing cards.

21:10:16  but then you also want to check the error that the system call returns
21:10:30  so eventually it's easier to just have fork than to have some insane interface

21:35:41  Yes, if you fork, then you can check the error normally. However, the normal fork() function it is a bit difficult for the parent to detect errors in the child process, I think. So, fork is good, and for some purposes, cfork is a better alternative.
21:35:48  I don't follow.
21:36:12  Anyway, there are many options. posix_spawn lets you specify open/close/dup2 actions and doesn't even let you check for errors.
21:36:36  What is cfork?
21:36:47  I don't seem to have something called "posix_spawn" in my computer
21:38:03  zzo38: posix_spawn is a windows thing, a crutch because they don't have a real fork, but gives a sort-of unix-like interface rather than a winapi interface
21:38:10  It is not a system call, just a POSIX API for running programs.
21:38:11  (actually it also exists on linux)
21:38:54  posix_spawn is a Windows thing? I am skeptical.
21:39:43  Windows implemented fork in the kernel for WSL1.
21:40:54  https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2019/04/fork-hotos19.pdf
21:41:47  Well cfork would be a bit like vfork, but improved; it returns either 0 to the child process, or -1 to the parent process in case it can't fork (it won't do both), and then exec or detach or _exit will return to the parent process (detach returns to both the child and parent process; exec and _exit return only to the parent process). Until the parent process resumes, the memory, registers, stack, etc are shared.
21:42:00  That is what it is. Can it be understand now?
21:42:35  What is the benefit of allowing detach?
21:42:39  (You can then also see why fork() is the same as (cfork()?:detach()); this also explains the return value of detach(). I can also provide other example if wanted.)
21:42:45  It seems like it'd make the implementation a good deal more complicated.
21:45:02  Well, since some programs may use fork(), and in some cases it is more useful than cfork(), too; maybe you might also want to change other things before detaching (or to more easily report some things from initialization to the parent before detaching).
21:45:35  So, that is why, instead of a fork() system call, it is just implemented as (cfork()?:detach()) instead.

02:27:29  posix_spawn() IIRC was spec'd just to give an interface that can have some of the perf benefits from vfork() without having the utter specification nightmare
02:28:10  (and on good implementations, for things that can be done with posix_spawn it will use vfork() or something analogous for implementation)

21:03:52  ^ three of those are active, one is historical only
21:04:26  ah, thank you.
21:05:15  Interesting.
21:06:06  Well, some people (such as myself) do not like Discord, and IRC is better. As for who owns it, whether or not that is the case can depend on the IRC server and on the channel registration; Freenode has channel registration, so you can examine it using the CS command (try CS HELP for help about how to do it).
21:09:23  Discord and IRC are fundamentally different and hard to compare.
21:09:46  Discord has tons of features I like that IRC lacks
21:10:12  In some cases, it is true, in some cases, people think so but actually it isn't true.
21:10:28  that's because IRC is a tool, Discord is a framework. we're unix guys, we like tools.
21:10:33  tools that do one thing.
21:14:55  On the one hand, IRC is a network protocol designed in 1989 and it shows.
21:15:09  On the other hand, IRC is a network protocol designed in 1989 and it shows.
21:15:30  ^
21:15:42  Find me a programmer with one hand!
21:15:44  IRC can be used even without the IRC software (although, use of IRC software is helpful)
21:15:56 * pikhq has done so, in fact
21:16:04  what do you mean by IRC software?
21:16:08  so many PONGs
21:16:12  mhm
21:16:57  that means the protocol is simple enough for client side and made of mostly stuff that is optional for clients, so you can implement your own software
21:17:05  An IRC client that speaks the IRC protocol so you don't have to worry about the commands (like "PRIVMSG #esoteric :so much text")
21:17:34  Yes, PONG is one reason why IRC software is helpful, since if you do not have it, then you would have to write PONG manually instead.
21:18:09  Separating messages by target is also very helpful. So... yes, you *can* use netcat but it's not fun at all.
21:19:19  what hole?
21:19:40  Couldn't you *technically* use Discord with a custom client the same way? It's not an open protocol, so you'd have to reverse engineer it. Or use the public API which might have somewhat reduced functionality.
21:19:41  just walk
21:19:50  sorry, wrong channel again
21:20:05  Sinthorion: perhaps you could, but it's much more complicated
21:20:22  And unlike with IRC, not an intended property of how things work
21:20:44  This is a decision with upsides and downsides both.
21:20:59  yes
21:21:26  Yes, although Discord is complicated and proprietary, and is only a single company, and other problems, and still needs some client software; IRC can be used even without any client software.
21:24:08  I've never seen an IRC channel not on Freenode. So while technically it can be hosted by any organisation, the fact is that everyone still uses the same.
21:24:41  I have seen other IRC networks, but mostly Freenode.
21:27:12  I've seen more IRC channels on freenode than on the dozen or so other IRC networks that I ever joined taken all together
21:27:33  Yes, same with me
21:27:56  I currently have no IRC service in my computer, but I do have a NNTP server, and implemented a nonstandard command for convenience of people who are not using NNTP software, too.
21:29:37  (Because, I think that IRC and NNTP are much better than many of the more modern stuff.)
21:29:39  NNTP? Isn't that usenet?
21:29:44  i.e. very ancient?
21:29:55  I'm currently on 3 distinct IRC networks.
21:30:21  osmarks: Yes, although it is still in use, and improvements have been made since the original version.
21:30:49  (Actually, I may be responsible for increasing the article numbers from 31-bits to 63-bits.)
21:31:32  just like how IRC gets a lot of new optional features all the time too
21:31:50  Yes, I suppose so.
21:32:34  the good part is that they're all optional so you can support only the ones you want on your client
21:32:44  the bad part is that many of them differ from network to network
21:32:52  Yes, is good that it is optional.
21:34:22  Well, the server often includes help files, and commands can be entered manually, so it isn't too much problem.
21:35:44  tradeoffs!
21:52:48  sadly the help file doesn't tell about everything

02:12:09  I would want to know what esolang project it is, and then maybe we can know the answer.
02:13:05  it involves writing a bunch of stuff on top of what amounts to a thue interpreter.

03:28:09  I'm interested in hearing more about the esolang project based on Thue.
03:28:41  I've been playing with using substitution lists to interpret different languages. I'm working on something that can take a list of substitutions and interpret a language from that, using extended regexes. SKI beta-reduction and substitution based bf interpretation are the current targets.
03:31:20  "bunch of stuff on top of what amounts to a thue interpreter" sounds potentially similar?

11:41:52  Oh did I mention that I had an opportunity to use the Pause key last week... still works, such fun.
11:43:22  I use the pause/break key several times every day.
11:43:29  Because I couldn't remember (possibly I never knew) how to enable the pager in grub.
11:43:47  Then again, I've bound the "lock screen" action to it, since it's what I press when it's time to take a break. So maybe that doesn't count.
11:44:53  I have not bound anything to it somehow...
11:45:36  The only problem is, laptop keyboards tend not to have it, so I need to have a redundant binding (mod-shift-l) for the laptop use case.
11:45:44  But I did mean in the good(?) old-fashioned way that pauses a real mode program as long as the standard BIOS keyboard interrupt is in use. (Or does grub emulate that... either way it worked.)

18:56:53  I think I read somewhere that the word order was less rigid in Old English, instead using a suffix to indicate a verb and so on. But, I am not sure; maybe I am mistaken.
18:57:54  At least, in English the first letter of a sentence is capitalized. Also, there may be ways to arrange the stuff on the sign to mitigate the effects of truncation.

19:16:51  fizzie: no, I think the right order is either, "The museum except on Mondays all days is open." 
19:17:17  and even "The museum is open excepting Mondays all days." is better than "The museum is open all days except Mondays."

12:32:19  question. have you designed or implemented some kind of network protocol, like HTTP or IRC or ssh but not something as well-spread but possibly just a toy application that only you use, and that intends to have a tcp server listening on a fixed port for a long time, whether to do all the communication or just for initiating a connection? if so,
12:32:19  have you tried to add a feature such that if someone accidentally connects to that tcp server with an entirely wrong client, such as a HTTP browser or telnet client, then the server will likely send them a human-readable message that tells them what they did wrong and optionally what this tcp server is for?
12:33:13  [[Special:Log/newusers]] create  * Razetime *  New user account
12:33:38  and if so, have you tried to optimize this such that you can send this reply possibly immediately as a fixed header, or at least after the other party sends just very little data to you and without having to wait for a long timeout?

14:08:45  wib_jonas: I implemented such a service, but the outermost layer is TLS and if someone unexpected tries to connect, the TLS won't even work
14:08:52  so there's no scope to do something like you're suggesting
14:09:10  you would need to put such a fixed-error-message output into the TLS implementation rather than the application
14:09:18  "Copyrighted material are also strictly prohibited." -- always a good laugh, that.
14:09:29  I imagine other people in the same situation would have had the same issue
14:09:57  ais523: thank you. but will it fail also if someone connects with a different client that uses TLS, such as a HTTPS client or IRC client with TLS enabled?
14:10:25  or does TLS have a built-in high-level protocol marker that you're using for this?
14:11:05  and yes, for that you'd probably have to modify the TLS library to support this
14:11:11  the server end wouldn't be able to see what the client end was sending due to a certificate error
14:11:30  from the client end, I think it'd just see the connection closing
14:11:42  ais523: you don't need to see what the client is sending to send an error message
14:11:46  I guess you could modify the TLS library to send something using the client's actual certificate even if it wasn't recognised
14:11:50  ais523: so you're using a client certificate?
14:11:51  ok
14:11:55  yes, client certificate
14:12:04  ok, that explains it
14:12:13  I guess most people don't do that
14:12:18  but it's a very simple way to do auth
14:13:06  sure, but you could also do it optionally, as in run a single Apache that listens on https, and some of the things it serve require a client cert, but just a hello world page or an error message doesn't
14:13:16  s/serve/serves/
14:14:42  I guess you could make it work
14:15:08  although, I'm not going to for my project, because the amount of development effort required, and the risk of introducing a security bug, would be disproportionate to the benefit
14:15:26  (especially as this was for work so I need to justify what I'm spending my time on)
14:15:37  it's not "make it work", if I want to serve something on https, as opposed to tls in general, than I will probably put it behind an Apache because it handles the peksy server-side details of HTTP
14:15:40  Hmm, what's the story on the discord front? (This change, https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76448&oldid=75596 ... basically I'm wondering whether there are now two competing rooms/channels/whatever the name, or whether the former is gone)
14:16:44  int-e: I think discord links can expire after some time, maybe it expired?
14:17:35  Just something to keep an eye for a while on I suppose.
14:17:46  I'm not curious enough to actually try out discord for this.
14:18:03  it's a bit weird, they use time-limited invite links, but the links have so little entropy that you could brute-force yourself into random discords easily such that any discord can't be kept private from that
14:18:16  int-e: they both look to go to the same discord server fwiw
14:18:18  I don't use discord so maybe this is not true and I just don't understand it
14:19:11  but I hear from other people who use discord (and just this morning I just found out that another IRC channel that I'm on had a bridge from discord and two more forums in two more chat protocols different from IRC or discord)
14:19:23  s/this morning/this night/
14:20:49  uplime: thanks, that's reassuring
14:26:01  does anybody know why the esowiki has lemons for its logo?
14:27:54  they are limes
14:28:09  and it was originally just picked from a list of placeholder images as a placeholder, but we grew to like it
14:29:32  i think its a good logo personally
14:29:36  unobjectively
14:30:05  ais523: ah, like the colored wavy lines in the left side of my homepage, which were placeholders and I meant to replace them with better images, at least with wavy lines with different shapes, but nice vertical banners for this purpose aren't easy to find, and I was lazy, so I just have wavy lines there forever.
14:31:25  maybe another 12 years from now, when I do a major revision on that homepage ...
14:33:39  as for meaningless images that I never replace, I have another story. I sometimes set different desktop background images on different desktop computers just so it's easier to tell at a glance which computer I'm working on. 
14:35:31  I've started doing that with shell prompts
14:35:47  it's easy to miss the hostname in the prompt if you aren't concentrating, so I've been making them different colors on different computers
14:36:01  now at my current job, I use some virtualized windows machines, and I even have some where I installed some software and then gave copies of the image to coworkers to use. I put different desktop backgrounds to them for the above mentioned reason, and now I also replace the background before I give a copy to a coworker, because they're sometimes
14:36:02  lazy to change the background and then I ended up with a vm that has the same background as vms that another coworker uses.
14:36:51  hmm, in fact, I should look for a replacement background image for that particular vm image right now, and replace it in my local copy the next time I boot it up, because that situation still hasn't got resolved;
14:38:26  though with the more recent image that I distributed, I was careful enough to change the background immediately, so now the latest vm has rape seed field as the background in my version buy cotton bale as the background in the distributed version.
14:39:09  oh yeah, the images also lead to easy naming the vm.
14:40:14  hmm yeah, in fact I should change the descriptive name of this vm instance (which is for information display purposes only, doesn't change anything, but easily visible even when the VM is not running) to include "rape seeed"
14:40:57  oh crap, I'm not allowed to change the descriptive name while the VM is running
14:42:10  so anyway, this also gives a possible solution for the hard problem of naming
14:42:32  admittedly the descriptive name of the VM also has some meaningful non-arbitrary parts
14:42:45  but those keep clashing too much
14:43:44  because, you know "I know, I'll call this vm 'win10' to distinguish from the previous vm which runs windows 7" then 6 months later "crap, now the next vm will be running windows 10 as well"
14:44:19  ais523: cheers, I can stop wondering about a hidden meaning then :)
14:44:58  it's easier not to choose another rape seed photo as background for the next meaningless background image

16:13:13  of course I also have to choose a background that is not such a cliche that someone else would independently choose to use it as a desktop background, eg. I won't use a plain grass or wheat pasture hill or partly clouded sky unless it has some more specific recognizable feature.
16:14:08  A rape seed field is common enough in reality in Hungary that it feels pleasant and neutral enough for a background, but not cliche enough that I'll have coworkers with confusable rape seed fields as their desktop background.

23:06:46  hmm, actually, there's a shortcut in my problem: I know that all bits above it will be set (but the bit immediately below might also be set, so I can't just look for the top 0)
23:07:18  ais523: in that case don't you just do a popcount and then a subtraction or something?
23:07:21  so I can count the number of set bits and that probably gives the answer directly?
23:07:22  yes
23:07:26  yeah, that
23:08:19  this doesn't actually need to be efficient, but I can't bear to write the loop
23:08:57  ais523: popcount then, and find an existing implementation of popcount for whatever you're writing this in, I can even help in that part if you need

23:09:36  good
23:11:35 -!- callforjudgement has joined.
23:11:42 -!- ais523 has quit (Disconnected by services).
23:11:44 -!- callforjudgement has changed nick to ais523.
23:15:52  ais523: By "loop", do you mean four times  x = x & (x-1), followed by x & -x?
23:16:32  int-e: I was thinking about something stupider; that version, I /could/ bear to write, although it still seems less elegant than it needs to be
23:16:57  oh, I figured it out, anyway, start with 0b10000 and then do an inverse select on the original number
23:17:04  (inverse-select is a builtin on x86)
23:17:32  although that probably isn't in Rust's standard library
23:17:33  there's https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/pdep (which apparently is really slow on Zen)
23:18:14  (which would allow you to deposit 0x10 into the work you want to analyze to give you the 5th bit)
23:18:51  ah right, pdep is what it's called
23:18:55  maybe there's an intrinsic for that.
23:19:04  that's the instruction I was thinking of, I remembered the instruction but couldn't remember the name
23:19:10  Do you need the index of the bit or just to have it set?
23:19:10  (probably but I hate looking this up)
23:19:35  pext/pdep aren't methods of u64 in Rust, at least
23:19:37  shachaf: need the index
23:19:50  what else... bsl in a loops (eww)
23:20:02  *loop
23:20:21  but the index is just a popcount away from finding the mask
23:20:26  my superoptimiser almost certainly isn't powerful enough to find this
23:20:37  Rust supports inline assembly now, right?
23:20:59  you wouldn't use it in this situation anyway, if you want to write platform-specific code there are bindings to all the asm instructions individually
23:21:06  "inverse-select is a builtin on x86" => only on cpus newer than the ones that have popcount though
23:21:25  b_jonas: how does popcount solve this problem?
23:21:28  ais523: I think they do have a library that contains most x86 intrinsics though
23:21:29  in this case, pub unsafe fn _pdep_u64(a: u64, mask: u64) -> u64
23:21:31  I don't think it does
23:21:56  int-e: it solves it in the situation where you know that all the bits above the one you want are 1 bits (but some of the bits immediately below might be too)
23:21:59  which is the case for me
23:21:59  int-e: I think it works here, since all the higher bits are set?
23:22:16  ais523: I still don't see how
23:22:41  int-e: you know that there are precisely four 1 bits below the one you want, so all but five 1 bits must be above
23:22:54  oh right.
23:22:57  the functions in the rust library are btw named the same as the intel compiler intrinsic functions, which all of intel, ms, gcc compilers have in a standard header
23:22:59  okay, that was stupid.
23:23:07  and there are no 0 bits above, thus knowing how many 1 bits are above gives you the number of bits above and thus the index of the bit you want
23:23:28  I looked at it once, and found a few things missing that I reported, but haven't bothered to write the patch for it yet 
23:23:56  yeah, that stuff you said, _pdep_u64
23:24:05  come to think of it, this might make an interesting codegolf problem
23:24:23  (the "fifth-least-significant set bit" problem in the general case)
23:24:57  I'm looking for a reference on the first use of the reasonable precedence parsing algorithm (sometimes called "precedence climbing" or "Pratt parsing" or other names).
23:25:21  Someone attributes it to the BCPL compiler, but I can't find the code for that.
23:25:23  Hmm. I wonder how the 1252 threashold in http://www.research.ibm.com/haifa/ponderthis/challenges/August2020.html was chosen.
23:25:35  ... threshold
23:25:43  I have a book about compilers that uses BCPL for its examples, and talks about "operator-precedence parsing"
23:25:57  Which book?
23:26:10  from memory, "Understanding and Writing Compilers" by Bornat
23:26:14  but I may have misremembered
23:26:18  shachaf: reference on first use of the reasonable precedence parsing algorithm => look in TAOCP volume 5, TAOCP usually tells about the history
23:26:20  (It seems too high to make this interesting. And the * bonus looks too hard.)
23:27:43  ais523: I didn't realise how restrictive that additional constraint (no 0 bits above the one you want) really is.
23:27:58  So... yeah, stupid.
23:28:22  The algorithm is so simple that it seems silly to give it a name, but also many people (including me) find it nonobvious before they see it.
23:28:57  But people write much more complicated precedence parsing code all the time.
23:29:20  int-e: my guess is that the people setting the problem tried to solve it for some length of time and 1252 was their best score
23:29:36  shachaf: those are some of the best algorithms, the ones that are trivial and beautiful after you understand it, but look like magic that nobody could possibly have invented before that
23:29:56  b_jonas: I don't have TAOCP unfortunately (except for two fascicles).
23:30:08  ayacc will generate operator-precedence parsing code as an optimisation in some cases
23:30:10  ais523: Yeah but the first thing I tried got it down to 1235.
23:30:13  b_jonas: I think Floyd's algorithm that we discussed the other day is like this.
23:30:23  int-e: maybe you just got lucky?
23:30:33  Doubt it.
23:31:12  shachaf: no problem, nobody has volume 5 yet, it's not yet written, you have many years before it will be published, so since you already have to wait, it doesn't matter that you haven't bought it yet
23:31:32  (This is hardly a spoiler, it's pretty much the most obvious attempt: I added a single losing position, and no winning position.)
23:31:56  adding a losing position may cause some losing positions to become winning, though
23:32:07  so the exact details would matter
23:32:20  I tried all possibilities.
23:32:37 * int-e shrugs.
23:32:51  the tortoise-and-hare cycle-finding algorithm is something I found very non-obvious before I saw it
23:33:16  And yes, it turns some losing positions into winning positions. That is the point really, because the goal is to get as few losing positions as possible.
23:33:51  Ah well.
23:34:14  ais523: Oh, that wasn't the Floyd's algorithm I meant, I meant the one for sampling.
23:34:19  I suppose Floyd has many algorithms.
23:34:34  shachaf: huh, that's coincidence, I thought of the algorithm itself without realising the Floyd connection
23:35:05  (also, Wikipedia isn't sure that Floyd actually created the tortoise-and-hare algorithm)
23:35:30  Nevertheless I've heard people call it "Floyd's algorithm".
23:35:45  yes
23:35:49  I like the Pollard's lambda algorithm for finding cycles.
23:35:53  ais523: yeah. and the algorithm to find a birthday attack on a black box function with range 2**n with O(2**(n/2)) queries but with memory usage of only a O(2**(n/4)) sized hash table of values
23:36:01  It seems much more practical in situations where you can use it.
23:36:19  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_detection attributes it to Floyd
23:36:31  and yes, the Pollard rho algorithm for prime factorization, which is based on that
23:36:41  int-e: it states that it's often referred to as Floyd's algorithm, but starts by disputing that attribution
23:37:04  oh yeah, Floyd's algorithm is also like that
23:37:05  b_jonas: the point of that one is that it's parallelizable, right?
23:37:05  I suppose that for Pollard's rho factoring algorithm you have to use the "turtle and hare" method, you can't use the lambda trick, right?
23:37:09  b_jonas: we're assuming that the function has an infinite domain, right?
23:37:24  I mean Floyd's algorithm to compute each pair of distances in a graph with weighted edges
23:37:27  Because you don't actually have an identity you can distinguish.
23:37:34  ais523: Funny, it doesn't do that in the initial description.
23:37:55  int-e: that's just one point, but that part isn't too surprising, more surprising is that it needs less storage
23:38:34   I mean Floyd's algorithm to compute each pair of distances in a graph with weighted edges ← for TAEB::AI::Planar I created my own pathfinding algorithm designed to be efficient at doing that
23:38:42  but also at updating the cache when the graph changed slightly
23:38:51  Brent's variant is usually faster anyway.
23:39:05  Wait, let me remember how Pollard's factoring algorithm works.
23:39:18  b_jonas: But that's a lot of memory...
23:39:40  b_jonas: The basic cycle finding just needs to keep track of a couple of values.
23:39:42  int-e: um, that depends on how large n is
23:39:53  how fast is the birthday attack for finding collisions in a function where you start with a value that isn't in the range, then you repeatedly feed it its own output?
23:40:12  that's O(n) memory, but I'm not sure what the efficiency is
23:40:18  int-e: ok, then the point IS that it's parallelizable, you pay memory to be parallelizable
23:40:35  b_jonas: Yes that was my point.
23:40:39  I found Floyd-Steinberg dithering unintuitive at first. But maybe I just initially saw it explained badly. On the other hand, there's a cute cat in the Wikipedia page about it.
23:41:03  ais523: This is what the "distinguished point"/lambda trick is about, right?
23:41:12  I find this important because for a crypto hash of size n=256, you need 2**64 entries of storage instead of 2**128, and while 2**128 storage is something I can't imagine, 2**64 entries of storage is tantalizingly close to what Google could have in a few years if they really wanted to, whereas 2**128 entries of memory is something I can't imagine without our civilization being totally unrecognizable
23:41:14  I assume it's O(2**(n/2)) because I've used it in practice to find a collision in SHA-256 truncated to 64 bits
23:41:26  and that seems like it would take too long if it were O(2**64)
23:41:29  ais523: It's expected to be O(2^(n/2)), but parallelizes badly (d parallel processes doing that end up taking O(2^(n/2)/sqrt(d)) time, I think)
23:41:43  int-e: ah, OK
23:41:49  in particular, there's an estimate that all hard disk existing in year 2018 have a total capacity approximately 2**88 bits
23:41:55  or 2**85 bytes or so
23:41:59  You have a time/memory tradeoff that you can set however you want. There's no real reason to set it to the square root, is there?
23:42:19  b_jonas: I can imagine 2**64 storage entries, however I can't imagine a system that can fill them in reasonable time
23:42:21  and it's reasonable to assume that a large quantity of those hard disks are used by Google in their server rooms
23:42:25  You can set it based on how much storage you want to use.
23:42:31  if these are random access and we assume we don't use most of them, it's believable
23:43:11  ais523: yeah, it's still not a feasable attack yet, but the storage size is not the limit
23:43:19  fizzie: That's a pretty cute cat.
23:43:47  shachaf: yes, it needn't be exactly the fourth root
23:43:54  The undithered version is a bit less cute.
23:44:18  b_jonas: actually, I think Google almost certainly uses more than 2**-21 of the world's storage capacity, that's less than a millionth
23:44:29  so Google probably had 2**64 bits of storage already in 2018
23:45:40  ais523: https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/52231/what-is-the-best-and-fastest-algorithm-to-generate-a-hash-collision has some references
23:46:04  ais523: yes, that's what I'm thinking too, but I also think 2**64 *bits* might not be enough, you need 2**64 half-entries, each 64 bits long, (or maybe quarter entries or so), so it's more like 2**70 bits
23:46:30  ah right
23:46:55  but I'm not sure about either number here so I can't tell if Google has reached this yet
23:47:11  I'd check how much data is stored in [REDACTED], but it'd almost certainly be a confidential number.
23:47:45  . o O ( so many [REDACTED] bytes )
23:48:10  fizzie: yeah, though I've seen some estimates based on public data
23:48:47  It's pretty hard to find public information about that sort of thing, I think Amazon has also only publicly said how many *objects* there are in S3, not how many bytes.
23:49:45  I was also wondering how many devices (smartphones) are there that run Android (2**31 right now, it turns out), and how much total GPU FLOPS, total CPU FLOPS, total storage, total RAM, and median RAM they have;
23:50:00  fizzie: I wonder how that changed since I had access to [REDACTED]
23:50:22  Well, curiosity got the better of me, and I checked [REDACTED]. I can in strictest confidence let you know it's still a number, it hasn't turned into any sort of weird concept that transcends numbers. Well, unless the interface hides that.
23:50:37 -!- salpynx has joined.
23:50:56  though I do admit that an attack that backdoors a significant number of android devices such that it uses them for some meaningful computation would be very impractical.
23:51:12  Oh man, we should do some sort of millionaire problem.
23:51:14  it wouldn't necessarily need to be a backdoor
23:51:16  I was asking about this on another channel, but I haven't found out anyting other than the number of devices yet
23:51:41  shachaf: yeah, that's what I was thinking of, to determine if the redacted problems are equal
23:51:59  oh wait, you mean not whether the projects are the same but for which one uses more storage?
23:52:09  there are apps that are installed on a high proportion of phones, if one of them decided to do some distributed computing (perhaps even with the users' permission) it could get a lot done
23:52:35  There was a ridiculous spike in capacity of Folding@home with the covid thing.
23:52:57  "With heightened interest in the project as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,[7] the system achieved a speed of approximately 1.22 exaflops by late March 2020 and reaching 2.43 exaflops by April 12, 2020,[8] making it the world's first exaflop computing system."
23:53:20  is exa one level above peta?
23:53:25  ais523: yes, I know, but still it's hard to make them do a computation that does anything useful
23:53:49  these are numbers so large that I find it hard to remember even what they're named
23:53:50  Exa is indeed one level above peta, and it's also the last level that sounds even borderline reasonable.
23:53:57  Because nobody's going to take zetta and yotta seriously.
23:54:06  "IBM announced Thursday[don't you love such references in an online article without date] that after five years of work, its researchers have been able to reduce from about one million to 12 the number of atoms required to create a bit of data."
23:54:24  ais523: yes, tera is 1000**4, peta is 1000**5, exa is 1000**6, zetta is 1000**7, yotta is 1000*8, the mnemonic is that the words are similar to tetra, penta, hexa, septa, octa
23:54:31  with one consonant removed from each
23:54:44  b_jonas: huh, was that intentional?
23:54:55  it's a hard pattern to notice unless it's pointed out
23:55:30  ais523: yeah, I didn't know it for a while and I kept confusing them all the time. I think it was intentional for at least for some of them, though perhaps not for tera
23:55:33  and it doesn't generalize backwards, "giga" is nothing like "tri"
23:55:53  well mega and giga are just large
23:55:53  ais523: nor for the prefixes smaller than 1
23:56:01  I finally heard a mnemonic for stalactite/stalagmite that I can actually remember the other day: stalaGmites rise from the Ground, while stalaCtites hang from the Ceiling.
23:56:12  int-e: and tera is like terra which is earth which is large... very helpful
23:56:17  I learned that in school, I think
23:56:36  It doesn't work in Finnish, I'm sure they'd've told it to us too otherwise.
23:57:02  fizzie: I didn't bother to remember the stalagmite thing, I don't do spelunking and will never do it in the future, so I don't think that nomenclature can ever matter for anything I do
23:57:17  fizzie: statlacTITeS hang from the ceiling... that one works in german as well :P
23:57:34  plus all my spelologist friends speak Hungarian and you can just use the Hungarian names which aren't so crazy
23:57:34  (ignore the ceiling, it's all about hanging)
23:58:10  they are combined from simple words and have obvious etimologies, just like rare words do in any sane language except English
23:58:14  how many spelologist friends do you have?
23:58:18  It's why people have proposed extending the prefixes with stuff like "xona"
23:58:25  And I think I learned this as a teenager... not in school though, for some reason. :P
23:58:58  ais523: depends on how you count "friend", they're all my mother's friends because she goes to caves a lot, although not as a spelologist, but as a teacher
23:58:59  int-e: Stephen Fry said the mnemonic he was taught in school was based on "tights hang down".
23:59:10  but like a dozen
23:59:12  fizzie: cute
23:59:19  (This was in QI, which is where I got the ground/ceiling bit too.)
23:59:23  I've heard a bunch of mnemonics, but I
23:59:33  'll always remember Hagrid in Harry Potter just failing
23:59:45  [[The Past]]  https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76463&oldid=76129 * LegionMammal978 * (+253) fixed implementation
23:59:48  Arcorann: aww, I was hoping for "I don't remember any of them"

2020-08-06:

00:00:30  they are nice company, I don't have any problem with them, I only have a problem with *me* going into a cave 
00:00:35  at school, we got taught things like mnemonics for what order the colors in the rainbow were in
00:00:51  but it isn't very useful because people aren't taught basic things like what colours indigo and violet actually are
00:01:11  (violet is especially problematic because most computer screens are incapable of showing it accurately, and most printers are incapable of printing it accurately)
00:01:35  Arcorann: yes, because just like me, Hagrid knows that that nomenclature doesn't matter for anything he does and so doesn't try to remember it. he's not a school age child anymore, having to learn thousands of useless facts to get a good grade, nor a lawyer or doctor
00:02:18  I think one reason they teach what they do in school is that it is hard to know in advance which facts will be useful
00:02:32  ais523: they're also incapable of showing or printing just about any pure one-wavelength light color
00:02:57  you could probably make a laser monitor that can show a few of them, but not all
00:03:01  indeed
00:03:04  but it would be horribly impractical
00:03:23  b_jonas: then again our perception of colors is very limited too
00:03:25  although, colours outside the red-blue range seem like they're a bigger problem to show than colours inside but not matching your pixel colour
00:03:33  at least you can interpolate for colours in range
00:03:46  int-e: yes, although there are very good reasons for why they're limited
00:04:44  b_jonas: I imagine you could make some sort of a refraction-based monitor that could do arbitrary wavelengths by having a mask in-between prisms or something for the color, and then something DLP-style to do the image.
00:05:15  I wonder what color we'd get if something would trigger only one of the green or orange receptors in the eye. (M and L types here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIE_1931_color_space)
00:05:16  Not a particularly bright one, but still.
00:05:45  int-e: specifically you can't see infrared light because your body at your eye emits them as thermal radiation and the light emitted by your body that reaches your eyes will drown out any useful signal from the outside
00:05:50  int-e: you can see something like that by looking at something intensely purple for a long time so that the red and blue receptors run out of neurotransmitter
00:05:59  and then looking at something green
00:06:01  (this would require something special... probably a laser aimed at individual cone cells)
00:06:15  hmm
00:06:21  interesting idea
00:07:00  I've done that experiment with orange, the resulting colour just looks orange, but is perceived as "more orange" than an orange thing nearby (viewed by receptors with a normal neurotransmitter supply)
00:07:04  int-e: one of those impossible colors that you can only see as an afterimage, green or yellow that is purer than the green or yellow of a single frequency light
00:07:26  ah yes, what ais523 says
00:08:06  what you can do more easily is to see objects that are brighter than pure white is:
00:08:13  Ha, someone's done something a little like that, except (of course) with a diffraction grating rather than a prism.
00:08:25  something I learned recently is that we actually know what colours colorblind people see, at least for protanopia and deuteranopia
00:08:29  "Agile Spectrum Imaging: Programmable Wavelength Modulation for Cameras and Projectors"
00:08:48  because there are some people who are colourblind in only one eye, and they can use one eye to learn what colours are named and the other eye to view them colorblindly
00:08:54  "We use a diffraction grating to disperse the rays into different colors, and introduce a mask (or LCD/DMD) in the optical path to modulate the spectrum."
00:09:02  I guess we do get pretty pure red and pure blue, so the middle range (closer to orange than to green? maybe.) is indeed the interesting one.
00:09:24  that's why non-black washing detergents have a pigment-thingy that remains on the clothes and converts incoming ultraviolet light to visible light, fluorescent or something, so ideally those clothes can be brighter than white, though usually they're just brighter than before but still darker than white, 
00:09:38  the easiest way to see actually brighter than white is car registration plates with a white background
00:09:46  at least if they're not dirty
00:09:51  yes, converting UV to visible light is known as fluorescence
00:10:22  also, I didn't think registration plates fluoresced, they're just reflective
00:10:36  road signs in the UK are retroreflective, they reflect in a directed way along the path the light came from
00:10:45  https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/hyperspectral-image-projector-hip well maybe it's not quite ready for consumer use yet
00:10:52  which means that they're visible in low illumination as long as you're standing next to the source of illumination
00:10:55  they're always dirty by the way, because it's not worth for anyone to clean it, but part of the reason for the fluorescent paint is that it makes the dirty license plate more visible in infrared photos
00:11:13  or something like this, I probably got some important detail wrong
00:12:13  ais523: wait, there are people who are colorblind in only one eye? how is that possible? I thought all forms of human colorblindness were strongly linked to genetics
00:12:34  b_jonas: some people have two different sets of DNA, that might be the cause
00:13:08  ais523: yeah, but that's very rare in humans that survive infanthood I think
00:13:10  you're only meant to inherit half a set of DNA from each parent, but sometimes that mechanism goes wrong
00:13:24  oh, that thing, not chimerism
00:13:56  those can be quite bad, polyploidy stuff, but I don't see how they'd cause different colorblindness in eyes
00:14:29  ais523: they're not fluorescent? hmm
00:14:36  chimerism isn't that rare, it seems, at least on small scales
00:14:42  ais523: road signs are retroreflective, that's true
00:15:06  but roads signs isn't the same as car registration plates: car reg plates are in a place that gets dirty much more easily
00:15:08  apparently it's quite common for fraternal twins to belong to multiple blood groups simultaneously as a consequence of small-scale chimerism
00:15:20  fizzie: nice
00:15:46  "maybe it's not quite ready for consumer use yet" => I don't think that will become practical any time soon;
00:16:27  there were printers on sale to consumers that used six colors + black rather than three colors + black
00:16:35  I'm not sure if anyone bought them, but I saw them advertised
00:16:50  although of course, that won't get you a full spectral range (especially as it would be hard to make appropriate ink)
00:17:17  however, I would be happy if there were color consumer cameras with more than three color channels. technically there are a few with four channels, but they're rare and just optimized to give a better RGB picture output, though you can probably get a raw image from them; plus there are cameras that have a built-in motor to insert or remove the infrared filter
00:17:32  ais523: blood groups sure, but blood groups is different
00:17:58  full chimerism seems to be rare, or at least rarely confirmed; however, it also typically has no visible symptoms, or symptoms easily mistaken for other things
00:18:13  so it's likely to usually go undetected
00:18:15  ais523: printers => interesting, though I'd be specifically more interested in cameras rather than displays or printers for this
00:18:24  ais523: I see
00:18:34  ais523: I think printers sold specifically as "photo printers" still use multiple inks.
00:18:41  well I'm not a doctor or a biologist, so anything I say about those is often wrong
00:19:06  especialyl anything I say two hours after I should have gone to bed, curse you #esoteric
00:19:27  b_jonas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_vapor_process is something old that fits into this niche
00:19:34  fizzie: yes, I think some use magenta, light magenta, blue, light blue, yellow, black

00:19:54  [[Language list]] M https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76464&oldid=76345 * LegionMammal978 * (-21) not a language
00:20:06  int-e: oh yeah, I think that came up in the last two #esoteric discussion about this
00:20:14  [[Turinf machine]]  https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76465&oldid=76308 * LegionMammal978 * (+11) it's not a programming language if it doesn't have syntax
00:20:21  Epson's page managed to crash all of Chrome somehow (shouldn't happen, should file a bug), but I can still see the blurb about "enhanced level of quality produced by its 6-colour inks".
00:21:06  (I learned about this from a making of video of The Birds)
00:21:12  fizzie: well sure, they must say "enchanced level of quality" or something vague and hard to disprove if they want to sell you a printer for which it's harder to find third-party ink cartridges
00:21:50  though the other trick of putting electronics with a usage counter in ink cartridges such that the printer refuses to use refilled cartridge is much more effective and dirtier
00:21:52  I think Epson's pretty good with inks, actually. Maybe not the photo ones, but in general I got the impression they haven't been doing as much copyright misuse and so on to control the ink markets.
00:22:24  I wonder if anyone optimized a break for the electronic ink cartridge thing yet, and if that's legal
00:22:24  (I may not be remembering the right manufacturer though.)
00:22:34  (Also, I wonder if there's some way of figuring out which Chrome process would be good to kill without being able to bring up the Chrome task manager.)
00:22:52  hmm, what's a "right manufacturer" :-)
00:23:14  A manufacturer of rights.
00:23:36  Well, that goes without saying.
00:25:01  Sony made a couple of those RGBE color filter cameras (red, green, blue, "emerald") with four primaries.
00:25:24  "Emerald" is a more marketing-friendly way of saying "cyan".
00:25:32  emerald doesn't look anything like cyan though
00:26:12  Yeah, well.
00:26:28  https://www.dpreview.com/articles/1471104084/sonyrgbeccd
00:26:33  just imagine if Canon or Nikon made cameras that check the signature of the lens and deliberately dumb themselves down on any lens whose manufacturer doesn't pay a license fee for that. I think the first one of the two that does instantly lose their market share to the other
00:27:00  ais523: The Bornat book's approach looks pretty complicated.
00:27:24  it covers lots of different approaches
00:27:53  whereas some printer manufacturer can do this for cartridges, and Intel can have a cpu library that deliberately pessimizes operations on AMD x86 cpus such that if you just patch all those checks out you instantly get much better performance
00:28:30  How much should I know about parsers?
00:28:53  that rather depends on how much you need to know about parsers
00:29:04  despite that their architecture reference manual spends a lot of words explaining how you should detect cpu features, and that you should never try to guess them from the cpu type or brand, which btw has very good reasons, and yet their own libraries don't folow that
00:29:06  if you're writing a parser generator, for example, you would need to know quite a lot
00:29:21  Say I know what LL(k) is. Should I know about LR, LALR, GLR, and all those things?
00:29:42  The BLARG parser gives up as soon as it encounters any error.
00:29:44  I think it's useful to know what LALR(1) is capable of doing, because that's what most parser generators use in practice
00:30:01  Should I know about packrat, earley, cyk, and so on?
00:30:02  knowing the fine distinctions between the various categories isn't much use unless you're writing a parser generator, though
00:30:05  ais523: those four colors aren't really colors, they're filters where the full spectrum matters, so you can't really name them with human color names like red green blue accurately anyway
00:30:14  just like the cone cells
00:30:24  yes, you'd need to give a graph of the frequency response
00:30:29  they're dual spectrums
00:30:41  Presumably I should just know all of these things and be a turbo-expert.
00:30:52  "red", "green", "blue" are good names for cone cells because different people have slightly different cone cells anyway, so vague names are good for lumping them into vague groups
00:30:55  dual in the linear algebra sense of course
00:31:42  ais523: blue sure, but I don't think red and green are. 
00:31:50  for camera filters red green blue is better
00:32:55  GLR is cheating because it's fully general but nondeterministic, so the performance gets bad in situations where the generality is needed
00:33:50  shachaf: you should probably know about LR(k), at least at the level of detail of how it differs from LL(k), not necessarily to how it differs from LALR(k)
00:34:23  LALR(k) is a mild optimisation of LR(k) that sometimes introduces ambiguities but normally only in really contrived situations
00:34:28  mostly because there are grammars that are LALR(1) but not LL(1) that you will meet often
00:34:56  so LR(k) is more powerful than LALR(k) but not in any way that's likely to matter in practice
00:35:20  whereas LR(k) versus LL(k) does matter
00:35:26  even in practice
00:35:34  yes, LR(1) is much more powerful than LL(1)
00:35:43  (and so does LL(k) versus regular grammar obviously)(
00:36:22  I think LR(k) is intermediate in power between a deterministic push-down automaton and a nondeterministic push-down automaton, isn't it?
00:36:28  not 100% sure on that
00:37:03  Hmm, I don't have a good idea of what extra power you get from a nondeterministic push-down automaton, either.
00:37:14  [[Turinf machine]]  https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76466&oldid=76465 * Hakerh400 * (+580) Added formal syntax
00:37:27  I guess quite a lot?
00:37:46  ais523: er... not technically, because you could cheat to convert an LR(k) parser to a push-down automaton by rolling a window of k symbols that the LR parser peeke
00:37:55  peeks into the state of the automaton
00:38:17  that converts LR(k) to LR(1)
00:38:18  in which case you get a deterministic push-down automaton
00:38:19  [[Language list]]  https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76467&oldid=76464 * Hakerh400 * (+21) Undo revision 76464 by [[Special:Contributions/LegionMammal978|LegionMammal978]] ([[User talk:LegionMammal978|talk]]) - Added formal syntax so it is a language now
00:38:30  but ah right, LR(1) does compile into a deterministic PDA
00:38:34  ais523: does it? hmm
00:38:47  isn't that basically what yacc/ayacc do?
00:38:54  maybe you also need to roll the top m elements of the stack into the state where m is the longest rule you have
00:39:00  the legnth of the longest rule you have
00:39:12  your basic operations are shift (push), reduce (pop+branch), and reading input
00:39:46  b_jonas: you can't do that, because a reduce could cause deeper elements to become shallower
00:39:55  although you could probably simulate it by popping all the elements and then pushing them back
00:40:00  ais523: yes, but the control is also important: LR can look at multiple elements on top of its stack

01:34:23  Other than having a confusing name, the Boyer-Moore majority algorithm is pretty neat and does something that doesn't seem possible at first.
01:34:51  (Find the majority element in a stream using constant space.)
01:36:21   Clever.
01:36:37  where "majority" strictly means "more than half"
01:36:51  otherwise it's unsolvable
01:37:40  Right.
01:37:48  But you can do "strictly more than 1/k" for any k.

05:11:40  I looked at Boyer-Moore in Wikipedia, and it requires to rewind the data to read it again a second time, which depending on how the data is read, may require more space. (But, if you know how many different kind of items there are, it is possible to make a list indexed by that too, I suppose)
05:12:48  It requires a rewind if you're not sure there's a majority element.
05:13:40  O, yes. If you don't care what the answer is if there is no majority (such as because you know there is a majority), then you do not need to rewind it.
05:14:48  (I forgot that, but, yes you are correct)

20:34:39  How to compute the outline path of a Bezier path drawn by a arbitrary pen shape?
20:36:34  zzo38: that is actually hard
20:37:03  zzo38: maybe look at Inkscape for what it does, but I think it only does a reasonable approximation
20:38:08  Yes, maybe, although I would want a implementation of such a algorithm in PostScript
20:44:26  zzo38: I think you first split your pen shape to convex polygons, and you take the time derivative of your path and intersect it with velocity lines through the origin parallel to the sides of the convex part of the pen to see which vertex of the polygon is in the outline on which segments, and for those segments you get the part of the outline by translating the bezier curve by the position of the 
20:44:32  vertex, or something like that
20:45:06  Yes, I think METAFONT uses convex polygons as pen shapes, and I did think of using the derivative of the path
20:46:03  no, Metafont offers two choices: either a convex polygon as the pen or an ellipse as the pen
20:46:16  also, wait, this has a fancy name
20:46:22  I think it's Minkowsky sum
20:47:35  You can specify an ellipse, but it will be automatically converted into a convex polygon.
20:47:41  ah
20:48:38  that is btw probably because in general the Minkowski sum of a bezier curve path with an ellipse isn't a bezier curve, because an ellipse isn't precisely a bezier curve, though the approximation that we use is so close that it works well enough
20:54:43  The reason I would want this is not for fonts; for fonts I can just use METAFONT instead. Rather, it is in case you want to draw stuff other than fonts using the similar methods.

00:38:10  shachaf: I was doing some "classic iOS" ObjC things recently, and it was kind of interesting, that whole NeXTSTEPpy object feel and the Interface Builder and stuff.
00:38:10 -!- Arcorann has joined.
00:38:27  Although AIUI that's kind of obsolete with Swift and SwiftUI and declarative UIs, which seems like a bit of a shame.
00:38:32  fizzie: that's called "classic" now? Is Objective-C deprecated?
00:38:55  I don't get it. I want to write my program in one language, which I get to choose, and I want to compile it to all the different target platforms.
00:39:24  I don't want a Swift-only or Java-only or .NET-only or JavaScript-only or C++-only library as the basic thing the platform provides. That just seems absurd.
00:39:26  I don't know about "deprecated", but I think it's not definitely "the new thing".
00:40:15  Swift is to Objective-C what Kotlin is to Java, or that's the impression I got.
00:40:39  Swift sounds like an OKish language to me.
00:41:05  But I'm not going to write my program, which needs to be efficient and cross-platform, in Swift. That's just silly.
00:41:09  "Even better, you don’t even need to type semi-colons."
00:41:27  I'm not sure I'd highlight that as a big selling point on the very top of https://developer.apple.com/swift/ though.
00:41:43  I don't think the semi-colons were the problem.
00:41:52  Objective-C is a superset of C, I think, so you can write everything else except the UI in C, I think.
00:42:47  I don't really want to write my UI six times.
00:43:05  No, see, you get six software development teams who each write the UI once.
00:43:15  Six: Mac OS, iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, web.
00:43:36  Mac OS and iOS are converging a little, aren't they? 
00:44:18  Sort of outside my field of view, but that's what it felt like. Or at least they were already much closer than Android and [anything else].
00:44:44  Well, maybe. Writing a different UI for desktop and mobile actually does make some sense.
00:45:30  Well, you know... "Qt is the fastest and smartest way to produce industry-leading software that users love."
00:45:34 -!- tromp has joined.
00:45:39  I don't really want to use C++, though.
00:45:52  Qt might be one fo the most reasonable answers? But that doesn't seem great.
00:46:13  I think I remember Nokia's Linux phones were kind of heavily banking on Qt.
00:48:09  What you will do, it might depend what program you are writing, too.
00:48:47  I would write my own UI code, except for a few things that make it tricky.
00:49:04  The main things are: Rendering text, and handling text in general; accessibility.
00:49:07  What program are you trying to write?
00:49:53  Nothing at the moment. I gave up on some programs I was trying to write.
00:50:03  Even the idea of making a simple GUI program is kind of daunting, though.
00:50:06 -!- tromp has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds).
00:50:42  I generally write command line programs instead, since many thing we don't need the GUI.
00:53:16  But sometimes you might be able to use SDL or something like that
00:53:31  (Although, SDL doesn't handle text)
00:54:04  But, even with rendering/handling text, it still depend what stuff you need to do, since different applications require different text handling.
00:55:06  All applications require the same text handling: They must render "Professional Octopus of the World" in 12pt Arial.
00:57:22  No, that isn't quite correct. Even if needs to render arbitrary text, it might not need 12pt Arial, and even if it is, it can depend on if the render is on the screen or printer, too.

02:15:47  Also, how much is twelve points depend on the application too. Some programs use 1/72 inch, and some use 1/72.27 inch. The PostScript documentation specifically says that 1/72 inch isn't a point, but it is approximately equal to one point (it doesn't give an exact number of how much is one point).
02:16:47  So, I will suggest to call 1/72.27 inch a "small point" and 1/72 inch a "big point", I suppose.

11:52:07  int-e: so far no mime types" http://srfi.schemers.org/ srfi-27/ is that once the basics are working, and stuff like that
11:56:12  application/x-broken-bridge
11:57:12  Why do I feel like I saw a funny MIME type just recently? No recollection what it could've been.
11:58:18  Hmm, maybe it was the 'application/vnd.PHE-COVID19.v1+json' content type used by the UK COVID-19 data API, but that's not especially funny, just maybe oddly specific.
12:06:25  fizzie: I'm playing https://www.gog.com/game/bridge_constructor
12:07:23  And I'm finding that the addition of sloped bridges made this much more fun.
12:07:45  I played a little bit of Poly Bridge (1) recently, which that looks quite similar to.
12:09:06  Yeah there are a number of clones of the original (I think) Bridge Builder
12:10:25  Looks like there's also a Bridge Constructor / Portal crossover game.
12:10:43  I don't know how they compare, the Bridge Constructor franchise is the only one I've played.
12:14:39  I've tried that one too (gog has a promo bundle with three variants including that one, https://www.gog.com/promo/20200806_launch_promo_bridge_constructor)
12:16:21  They have portals, they have accelerating goo and bouncing goo, they have turrets, they have switches and companion cubes... they may be overdoing it a little, but it's still enjoyable. I kind of miss the budget constraints actually.
12:16:42  I'm kind of unhappy that I only have the Android version of Poly Bridge (had some expiring Play Store credits to lose, at it was on sale for something like £0.99), and the small-touchscreen user experience really isn't quite the same as having a monitor and a mouse.
12:16:44  (They still display a cost, so you /can/ minimize that.)
12:17:30  It runs okay on Chrome OS's Android app support, and you can click on buttons with the mouse, but none of the actual bridge parts deign to be interacted with the mouse.
12:17:30  The portals mean that you have cars going vertically, and also can be used to flip car directions... some levels have you cross the car's own path.
12:17:41  So, yeah, it's cute.
12:17:42  (Presumably the code is specific to "touch" events on those.)

12:32:36  I wonder how many civil engineers this game has ruined. "I can make this bridge at half the cost, you just have to be careful when driving on it."

13:03:37  Oh the the trampoline...
13:03:41  https://the-incredible-machine.fandom.com/wiki/The_Incredible_Machine_(game)/Parts   of course someone's made a list
13:04:01  Those things were annoying, so much fiddling to find a good placement.
13:04:43  I mean sure, that's basically the whole game, but trampolines actually stood out in that regard.
13:06:56  Oh the monkey, how did I forget the monkey.
13:07:24  It's easily the most adorable thing in the whole game.
13:08:34  And I didn't know about the special parts.
13:13:54  One cute idea in the medieval bridge constructor is that it makes non-working bridges a feature: you lure enemies onto a bridge and let them plummet to their death. It has to collapse at the right moment for this to work.

19:10:09  I just visited a small museum in Budapest in which the best part is a small and cheap but well-composed representattive selection of digital computers, from the first many-cupboard vacuum tube machines up to recent enough stuff that they won't have a time gap when they later try to expand it. The 80s and 90s home microcomputer era in the middle is the most interesting, because it has a mixture of models 
19:10:15  imported from West Europe and ones produced locally. 
19:11:51  There were a few pocket calculators, only Eastern ones, but of course the best ones of those are clones of calculators from the West. The two programmables on display are http://www.rskey.org/CMS/index.php/7?manufacturer=H%EDrad%E1stechnika&model=PTK-1023 and http://www.rskey.org/CMS/index.php/7?manufacturer=H%EDrad%E1stechnika&model=PTK-1072
19:12:53  While the collection is good, the labels are terrible. With the digital computers, where I had some foreknowledge to be able to recognize stuff, but in general, there are barely any labels from which you could find out anything about objects you're not familiar with.

00:24:00  hello. does anyone here know much about golfscript? im slightly confused about how arrays work. for example, how would i take an array on the stack and increment its 3rd value by 1?
00:24:24  I know a bit about GolfScript but not much
00:24:33  it has many fewer builtins than you'd expect from a golfing language
00:25:21  but in most cases, arrays in golfing languages are treated as a single object, rather than being modified
00:25:38  so the operation you want, you should think of as "replace this array with a copy in which the third value is incremented"
00:25:59  i see. how would one go about doing so?
00:26:45  GolfScript is one of the older ones though I think; there are many newer ones with more commands
00:27:07  for an array of length 3, [0,1,2 1+]? that seems really ungolflike.
00:27:07  I'm trying to find a good builtin to use
00:27:23  [0,1,2,1+] oops
00:27:38  zzo38 any good examples?
00:28:25  actually this is a hard operation in most golfing languages I think
00:28:35  strange.
00:29:02  i was thinking of doing so because im trying to find a nice esolang to implement an esolang interpreter in#
00:29:05  hhhhh: Well, there are many, actually; there may be a list or category on esolang wiki (and if not, maybe there should be? Discuss and figure it out, I suppose)
00:29:28  in Jelly it would be something like 1+$3¦
00:29:31  and i need to store a direction, a PC and the program itself, i was thinking of doing that in an array
00:29:38  jelly seems complicated, ive looked at it
00:29:57  yep, https://tio.run/##y0rNyan8/99QW8X40LL///9HG@oY6RjrmOiYxgIA
00:30:14  only ¦ is really weird and unintuitive, and that's still a lot longer than you'd expect
00:30:22  what is "$3¦"?
00:32:06  ¦ is a quick that combines two code fragments
00:32:19  the first fragment is 1+ which adds 1 to things
00:32:30  although, I should just have used the increment builtin, ‘
00:32:38  the second fragment is 3 which is the array index to affect
00:32:54  whats $
00:32:59  and ¦ operates on an array only at certain indexes (although it does this by operating on the whole of the array)
00:33:18  $ is a grouping command that effectively puts the previous two code fragments into a group, like putting parentheses around them
00:33:28  and also indicates that they take one argument (in this case, an array)
00:33:53  we need to group them because otherwise ¦ will operate on + and 3, not on 1+ and 3
00:34:08  if I replace 1+ with the builtin, the $ isn't needed: https://tio.run/##y0rNyan8//9RwwzjQ8v@//8fbahjpGOsY6JjGgsA
00:34:29  why is the ¦ needed?
00:34:46  oh, nvm.
00:35:22  so (chain) (number) ¦ executes (chain) on array index (number)?
00:35:27  right
00:35:36  hm neat.
00:35:47  except it doesn't, what it actually does is to execute the chain on the entire array, then put all the indexes other than the listed one back to what they were
00:35:54  this might be a bug
00:36:03  yes that does seem strange
00:36:44  it comes to the same result in most cases, but when it doesn't it can be very confusing
00:39:18  in Brachylog, the best I can do is to rotate the element to the start, increment it, then rotate the array back into order: https://tio.run/##SypKTM6ozMlPN/r//1HbrkdNTdqPmhpPbXjUthvI/v8/2lDHSMdYx0THVMcs9n8UAA
00:39:37  hmm, unicode characters
00:39:40  `! brachylog [1,2,3,4,5,6]↺₂+₁ʰ↻₂w
00:39:43  do they count as a single byte for golfing purposes
00:39:44  ​[1,2,4,4,5,6] \ true.
00:40:06  it isn't Unicode, most modern golfing languages make use of their own character sets with 256 different characters
00:40:15  they aren't encoded as Unicode, but they are encoded as a single byte each
00:40:40  okay. so if i make a golfing language it should only have up to 256 characters?
00:41:02  the number of characters used should be a power of 2, using 256 different characters is nicely usable because you can have one byte per character
00:41:20  but if, say, you only use 16 different characters then you can fit in two per byte, which halves the length of your code
00:41:41  Well, in this case they are all characters which are present in Unicode; I don't know if some uses characters which are not present in Unicode, although I do not expect so; there may be some whose Unicode representation is ambiguous, though, possibly
00:41:44  most people use 256 though, or rather, they have 256 but don't use all of them (which makes their code somewhat suboptimal)
00:42:06  zzo38: yes, it's common to use characters that all exist in Unicode, but to use a non-Unicode encoding for them
00:42:45  this isn't always the case, e.g. Mathematica uses one character that isn't in Unicode (and when encoded as Unicode, encodes it to a private-use character), although it isn't a golfing language despite sometimes being used as one
00:43:02  What character is that?
00:44:05 -!- t20kdc has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
00:44:09  it's a sort of lambda-like operator, according to the source I got it from it looks quite similar to ↦
00:44:32  (but Mathematica treats it as a distinct character )
00:44:34  `unidecode 
00:44:36  ​[U+F4A1  - No such unicode character name in database]
00:45:11  very great language design
00:45:18  if you ask Mathematica to save in a Unicode encoding then decode it using a different program, it becomes the private use character U+F4A1
00:46:24  Jelly's character set was chosen to be typable on at least one pre-existing keyboard layout, without use of a compose key
00:47:08  O, OK, so that is what it is.
00:47:52  I've had enough problems in Jelly with the distinction between Đ and Ð
00:47:55  `unidecode Đ
00:47:57  ​[U+0110 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D WITH STROKE]
00:48:02  `unidecode Ð
00:48:04  ​[U+00D0 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER ETH]
00:48:42  U+00D0 is in Jelly's character set, U+0110 isn't, and it's easy to accidentally type the wrong one and have the UTF-8 to Jelly convertor produce an invalid program as a result
00:48:47  (it doesn't even error…)
00:49:13  the lowercase forms are đ and ð respectively, which is why they're different characters
00:49:51  Presumably the converter should convert both U+0110 and U+00D0 into the same Jelly character code, when you are using input in Unicode, to avoid such a problem. (When converting into Unicode, you would only do U+00D0 out and not U+0110, I suppose)
00:49:53  I can't distinguish the uppercases in the font I'm using, though
00:50:01  Which would be better, I think.
00:50:06  zzo38: I agree

00:56:28  I'm not very experienced with CJam, but it's basically best thought of as GolfScript 2
00:56:39  it's very similar to GolfScript but has a much better set of builtins
00:57:14  yeah, i thought it was pretty crazy that golfscript had you type entire english words like "do", "while", "if"...
00:59:38  one of the things I like least about Brachylog is that it supports multiple-character variable names
01:00:15  does it require them?
01:00:18  from my perspective, it is unlikely that you will need more than 26 generic variables in a golfing language program (in fact, needing more than 2 is rare)
01:00:24  no, single-character variable names are allowed
01:00:37  but, it means that syntax consisting of two consecutive letters can't be used for another purpose
01:00:37  how is it a bad thing to support things that arent required to be used?
01:00:40  oh, i see.
01:01:05  a good compromise would be to require multiple-character variable names to all start with the same letter
01:01:11  e.g. Z
01:01:42  then any of the other 25 variables could be used for syntax where concatenating them meant something (the obvious meaning in Brachylog is to have an implicit "and" between them)
01:01:42  imagine not having 676 variables in your esolang. how terrible.
01:02:07  this only becomes less space-efficient than the original when you have 53 or more variables
01:02:20  and even using 3 is a bit of a stretch
01:02:41  (most golfing languages have very concise ways to deal with temporaries)
01:03:00  Jelly has only one variable for the entire program, which feels a bit restrictive sometimes, but it's rarely an issue in practice
01:04:55  fair enough
01:05:22  most programs don't use it
01:05:28  i need to make an esolang interpreter where the PC has direction, so storing the program, the PC and its direction would be probably good for what i need to do
01:05:55  (I have suggested that Jelly should have a global *dictionary*; this would allow you to simulate arbitrary many global variables if you needed them by using one key per variable, and would also be useful for other purposes)
01:07:20  huh, no built in base conversion in cjam?
01:07:58  people have gotten better at making golfing languages over time
01:08:28  time to find "cjam but actually utilizing the 256 character limit slightly more"
01:08:33  I think the best way to make one is to look at existing golfing languages to see which builtins you need, but come up with something innovative in terms of encoding or control flow or data flow
01:09:10  well, id be quite happy with just cjam+extra builtins like base conversion, really
01:09:19  Does Jelly have any dictionary object at all? Also, if you were to extend it, how to do?
01:10:04  ah cjam does have base conversion i missed it oops
01:10:38  I started writing a new specification of a golf programming language too, but it is not finish yet.
01:11:13  zzo38: it has some support for interpreting an array of key-values pairs as though it were a dictionary
01:11:46  but probably doesn't have any actual dictionaries (unless you can somehow jailbreak the interpreter into running arbitrary Python)

01:04:33  I wonder how many significantly different media types there are for which a language can be optimized, for how many of them has an entirely new language unrelated to any previously existed language or an entirely new script ever get created, and whether there are esoteric possibilities there waiting for us.
01:05:16  Can you give any examples?
01:06:45  For writing, there are forms of writing optimized for writing in soft clay that may later be burned to hard, carving in hard stone, carving in wood, writing on paper with ink, on paper with typewriter, on paper with traditional professional metal press, on paper with digital graphics-capable monocolored printer, 
01:07:59  OK. Yes, there are, but I don't know if other media than what you mentioned.
01:08:02  on paper with digital graphics-capable multicolored printer, punched on paper with a hand-operated stylus and read tactile, punched on paper by more complicated means and read tactile, formed from bended neon lights;
01:08:40  O, yes, although often neon lights don't use a different alphabet, just a different style
01:09:03  for sign languages there's ordinary sign languages, variants optimized for signing mostly or completely one-handed, and more tactile versions for communications to blind-deaf; 
01:09:36  from spoken there's ordinary speech, whispering, shouting, whistling, humming, and maybe some musical instruments.
01:09:48  Somehow I thought you only meant writing at first, but yes, there is that too.
01:10:06  zzo38: yes, for most of these I can only think of examples that are just modified variants of others, which is for practical reasons of not having to learn too many different languages or forms of writing.
01:11:52  Oh, and there's optimized for speech in a noisy environment, for which we have the English-based language used in air traffic communication.
01:12:08  There's probably a lot of untapped esoteric potential.
01:12:12  Ah, yes.
01:12:18  b_jonas: in my thoughts, I am envisioning interpreters as an artistic interpretation of a program, like in a drama. e.g. let's say, i was to write an interpreter that reads only fully-formed words in English that are part of the program ? does this make sense ?
01:13:03  this interpreter could work with any given program, no matter which language it was written it. it's just that it's not a very useful interpretation...!
01:13:43  flv: I don't really understand. How is it still an interpreter for that language if it doesn't execute the program?
01:14:27  Well, I'll have to sleep on this and try to think of the best untapped esoteric potential.
01:15:17  Esolangers have already invented a lot of strange esolangs that use weird types of media of course, probably popularized a lot by Piet.
01:15:17  b_jonas: I mean, you could then write something to execute the code that follows the interpretation
01:16:29  Also, I should start a list of interesting esolangs on my esowiki userpage, with short spoilery descriptions, because many esolang names are easy to forget even if you remember what the language does.
01:17:02  b_jonas: e.g. associate each English word with a certain binary number and call it a day ?
01:19:15  https://esolangs.org/wiki/Efghij is my favorite esoteric media type for esolangs
01:22:29  b_jonas: Yes, make such a list including descriptions; I might like to see too (and maybe I forgot, too)

13:55:28  zzo38: well, I've known the non-esoteric possibility that I want: I'd like a good family of sans-serif fonts with a consistent look for text including mathematical formulas, optimized for slides with the contemporary mid-resolution LCD projectors.
13:57:09  The CM and other mathematical fonts are serif fonts, and optimized for printing on paper, rather than viewing from a distance on a projected screen, so they're not ideal, but there don't seem to be good quality sans serif mathematical fonts that qualify.
13:57:48  So there's a gap between handwritten mathematics (either overhead projector slides or whiteboard or chalkboard) and printed on paper that should be filled.
13:58:09  Ideally I should make such a font set, but learning to make good fonts and making good fonts takes a ton of times.

14:04:33 -!- FreeFull has joined.
14:04:34  fizzie: that looks at least interesting, thank you
14:06:06  I think that's probably the thing I landed on when I made some slides in beamer for a course I was TA for, and I think I got there by going through https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/mathfonts.html and looking for anything without serifs. There's a few other candidates on the list too, though the vast majority are serif fonts.
14:06:32  . o O ( "A lot of times", of course, alludes to the multitude of newspapers called "___ Times", some of which commissioned their own fonts. )

14:50:55   Ideally I should make such a font set, but learning to make good fonts and making good fonts takes a ton of times. => also there seem to be no font creating software which is comfortable to work with, in drawing and editing glyphs. AFAIU people just edit in some other software and then import, but I see a lot of problem with this approach and at least it’s problematic for me to make a routine. I can’t even make a font for a conscript w
14:50:55  ith ink-looking glyphs in Inkscape from an image with layers a layer for a glyph each
14:53:07  arseniiv: that is certainly part of the software
14:54:27  more realistically, I should update my fecupboard20 font with more characters, and better images for some of the existing characters. the ASCII parts are stable and haven't needed a change for years, I've been using it in terminals in my home machine a lot, but there are characters missing and ones that are ugly. 
14:55:15  also I started a tiny bitmap font, and for that I actually collected a decent list of characters that I want, so I can start from that list to add characters to fecupboard. 
14:56:04  the tiny font is variable pitch
14:58:31  what are the uses for tiny bitmap fonts nowadays aside from oldskooly games with big pixel graphics?
14:59:15  hm FontForge’s website looks like the software got a revamp some time ago?..
14:59:26  arseniiv: mostly just esoteric uses, yes, but it's also that a bitmap font is easier and faster to make than a graymap font, even though I could use a graymap font and it would look better
14:59:54  although some people want to use tiny font in some hardware like led displays or magnetic displays
15:00:13  there are a lot of led displays that are only 8 pixels tall, and that's really limiting
15:01:07  some are actually double height, so a pixel is made of two leds and is approx twice as high as wide, but the two leds don't seem to be individually controlled. but these double height ones are used mostly for advertising
15:01:40  but I'm making an even smaller font, one that's only 6 pixel tall, with 1 pixel ascender and 1 pixel descender
15:01:56  TI calculators are a good use case for tiny bitmap fonts.
15:03:22  as for 8 pixel tall fonts, or 8 pixel tall with 8 pixels of gap, those were useful for games running on old hardware with small ROM and not too capable graphics chip, like NES, SNES, Game Boy, GBC
15:03:31  I meen small ROM on the game cartridge
15:04:17  on SNES and GBC a few games even used 8 px tall and 4 px wide fonts for their English version, with the CPU copying two characters into one tile definition dynamically as it prints text
15:05:22  I was quite surprised when I first saw that, because displaying such text seems impossible on that hardware at first. I think I've only seen two games that does this, IIRC Earthbound and GBC Pokemon TCG but there might be more
15:06:17  but a lot of games use 8x8px fonts, or 8x8px fonts with an empty row between that is sometimes used for dakuten, the arch-example being GB Pokemon red/blue

15:13:50  I made a couple of small pixel fonts myself in Fontstruct :D though that was a while ago and my goal of wide codepoint coverage wasn’t quite reached at all
15:34:43  The only font I've ever done is the one for https://zem.fi/rfk86/ which is a 4x6 cell with mostly 3x5 characters. But that definitely didn't aspire to (or need) high codepoint coverage. I think I just drew it in Gimp with the grid set to 4x6 pixels, into an image with a couple of 64x48 pixel (16x8=128 character) layers.

17:24:10  awesome physics game, would love an android port
17:25:26  and are those orange road sections orange because they're stretched?
17:25:48  color should be the stress on each segment
17:27:34  ok, then those road segments are probably stretched
17:27:43  b_jonas: Bridge Constructor Medieval
17:29:23  I don't know how the Bridge Constructor franchise compares to Polybridge. It's obviously a bit smoother and more diverse (if you count the various spinoffs) than the original Bridge Builder.
17:29:25  medieval? so those are supposed to be wooden beams, not steel?
17:31:21  the colors indicate stress... https://int-e.eu/~bf3/tmp/wobblyc.jpg is the construction without stress indication.

18:14:44  arseniiv: no sorry, I don't much like Funciton
18:15:23  I don't usually talk about that because people don't keep inventing variants or using it for everything like for brainfuck 
18:15:32  but it's just not a language I like. no specific reason. 
18:16:05  but Funciton was a featured language, so it's already two clicks from the front page I think
18:16:12  one click
18:16:21  "Previously featured: Funciton · Brainfuck · Deadfish · Emmental · more…"
18:16:49  so no need to advertise it more. I could mention Intercal.
18:17:00  zzo38: no, but I have made a few simple illustrations with metapost,
18:18:15   but it's just not a language I like. no specific reason. => ah. I understand
18:19:25  it's not even that it's a two-dimensional language, I'm fine with fungeoids if they're not misused, and I have some ideas for a two-dimensional functional language that is more like funciton than befunge in semantics, but I haven't managed to put together a sane combination yet
18:20:03  I have some very specific ideas about the basic syntax, but I might have to split this to multiple different languages semantics-wise depending on how user-defined functions are defined and called
18:20:27  I haven't really tried to work much on this yet
18:20:35 -!- huntingcryptos has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds).
18:21:22  it's just an idea that I think has to be done because there doesn't yet seem to be an esolang like that, but it isn't too esoteric, and I don't mind too much if someone else does it well first
18:23:41  it's just a silly 2D syntax for an ordinary imperative or functional language (there may have to be two or three different versions depending) where variables are encoded not with names, not implicitly with pointless programming, not with stack indexes, but with columns in the source code
18:24:34  it translates both ways into some ordinary programming language with plain syntax, it's not some actually interesting and unique idea like Consumer Society

14:00:38  That might prove to be incredibly difficult, especially if I want to use several different kinds of pointers.
14:02:09  This is a 16-bit pointer into the data segment. This is a 16-bit pointer into the stack segment. Don't know which segment you need? Whoops, looks like you need a 32-bit pointer.

18:18:24  Is there a restricted subset of Markdown without HTML? I would suggest such a variant for use with some NNTP services, where additionally text with @ within <> is treated as a message ID. If there is a header "Content-type: text/markdown" then some implementations may display it formatted; if not, it will be displayed raw and still work perfectly OK anyways. (Other restrictions may also be added, such as no pictures, and no relative URL
18:20:23  zzo38: I believe there are multiple such subsets, incompatible with each other, because people find it useful and invent something without standardising it

21:45:58  why is it so hard to write a CV even when a friend helps with it at a highest degree and guides you with various questions and suggestions?

21:48:31  is there an exit when all pet projects you have are written to be seen only by yourself and usually even not finished to be compilable (not always but often)
21:52:16  is there a sun when essentially all you know you do despite—not thanks to—education which is also unfinished, and you have no geographically local peers in these matters to compare your achievements to and something something
21:52:17  sorry
21:52:38  arseniiv: get a job where you can write pet projects useful for work
21:52:59  b_jonas: yeah but that requires a CV usually?
21:53:00  and yes, writing a CV is high
21:53:15  s/high/hard/
21:53:26  as are all the other things associated with getting a job
21:53:29  maybe I also should be high to succesfully write it without too much pain :D
21:55:26   as are all the other things associated with getting a job => I don’t think all of them are. I presume making yourself known to potential employers is tedious but that should be more or less mechanical instead of mind-numbing
21:56:21  it's not really making yourself known, but doing the interviews right and all that
21:57:48  I’ll better not think about this aspect for now or I’ll bail out again
22:17:53  I wrote a long addendum but I bet this isn’t a therapy channel so I better keep it for myself

10:21:32  today's https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/soul-3 says there aren't enough souls so not all humans have one, and "The soul wait-list for new babies is basically eternal." I see two possible interpretations: either every new baby gets onto the waiting list but get a soul only if they have been waiting on the list for the longest time when a soul
10:21:32  becomes free, in which case only the oldest people have souls, in this case only people way over 100 years old;
10:22:47  the other interpretation is that only new babies can get a soul, and if there's no soul available just when a baby is at soul-getting age, then they missed their chance forever, in which case a few people, chosen at more or less random, have souls for life.
10:23:21  which reading do you support, fungot?

15:42:21  int-e: isn't that just the fallback for missing javascript, and the javascript hides it?
15:42:37  wib_jonas: No. I do allow github to use javascript.
15:43:04  And it's a recent change, happened last week I think.
15:43:19  They also made the reactions thing twice as big as before.
15:43:43  (where big = high)
15:44:53  (I'm probably exaggerating.)
15:47:36  Why is it that "bike" is kind of ambiguously either a bicycle or a motorcycle, but a "biker" is almost always a person who rides a motorcycle, and likewise a "cyclist" for a bicycle?
15:48:42  obligatory reference to casually explained
15:48:56  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EE8m8mmq1k
15:49:08  by "reaction thing", do you mean the toolbar with the single-emoticon replies under comments?
15:50:35  they are sort of required to make that big and obvious, that's one of their trademarks, making their site distinguishable. mind you, skype does sort of the same, but they don't make the single-emoticon toolbar always visible, and I think they don't have a flower bouquet among the choices
15:58:24  it's bad enough without the extra input line. http://int-e.eu/~bf3/tmp/waste.png
15:58:27  wib_jonas: yes
15:58:53  (the blue shading is by me and indicates space that I consider to be completely wasted.
15:58:56  )
15:59:11  it is not
15:59:17  it is to me
15:59:41  change the css and look at it, then
15:59:49  it's horrible
16:02:57  That's the thing though. I don't *need* things to be aesthetic. I want to have as much information on the screen as possible.
16:03:30  And I know that this goes against current UI theory.
16:03:31  too much information just hides what actually is important
16:03:43  The *comments* are important.
16:04:19  People don't put 1cm of whitespace between paragraphs in books either, they rely on a rather subtle indicator, indenting the first word, for separating those.
16:04:21  like, there is a reason practically every irc client has the option to wrap lines in a way that line starts of the message match
16:04:32  even more offer the ability to right-align nicknames
16:05:50 * int-e shrugs.
16:06:25  I use bold face for nicknames and that's plenty indication to find them on the screen for me.
16:06:29  what is a good umbrella term for preconditions as well as benefits of an effect?
16:08:09  myname: It's also worth noting that I don't have a smartphone so I'm not exposed to touch-optimized UIs (where the extra space is required because the precision of the inputs is so low). I believe that had a huge impact on this idea of wasted space.
16:08:27  well, less exposed
16:08:55  And I'm old, I grew up with 80x25 terminals which really had no space to waste at all.
16:08:59  the precision of touch input is actually higher than one would expect
16:09:30  i am currently in the process of writing a terminal game because i am pretty annoyed by the existing ones
16:09:35  I know it's significantly better than the size of a finger.
16:12:31  The main thing with touch inputs is... you hide the target as you touch it. That's a huge deal.
16:15:05  oh, i am currently using 32 rows but only 52 colums
16:15:17  maybe i should re-arrange my ui
16:16:08  80x25 terminal is the spice
16:16:13  3 rows less is easy, 8 rows is touch
16:16:16  I still have some bbs accounts
16:16:20  *tough
16:19:21  I'm currently using 76x37, or 76x61 if I hide the on-screen keyboard. But then again, this is one of those smartphones.
16:21:25  my default terminal size is 98x36 but it's much higher on my smartphone

16:26:28 -!- Lord_of_Life has joined.
16:27:43  My most common terminal size is probably "half the screen" (I'm a BSP-layout-pretty-exclusively kind of person), which would be 159x92 or 159x94, depending on whether it's the screen with the extra bar on it.
16:29:46  that's huge without vertical splitting
16:31:41  Well, they're mostly either IRC or command prompts, so the immediately interesting bit is at the bottom, and what's higher up is just conveniently visible history.
16:34:33  > 1080`div`13
16:34:35   83
16:35:48  (81 is what I actually get)
16:36:20  height is easy to fill, width not so much
16:36:35  i am way more comfortable with longer terminals than with wider ones
16:37:04  I think it's fair to say that the 80 column problem has kept me away from tiling WM.
16:37:07  *WMs
16:38:16  what problem?
16:39:57  the desire to have 80 character wide terminals
16:40:01  and editors
16:40:13  like, exactly?
16:40:16  yes.
16:40:22  If you haven't noticed yet, my habits die hard.
16:41:17  interesting
16:42:07  my setup is basically splitting into a master are with a browser and some slaves to the right with terminals of a precise widths
16:42:22  not 80 though, that would be far to narrow for my taste
16:43:36  I guess I could afford 102 or so.
16:44:27  before I run into the hard constraint which is fitting three terminal windows side by side on the screen.
16:45:31  just use a font that isn't as wide :p
16:45:48  that isn't really an option
16:49:59 -!- wib_jonas has quit (Quit: Connection closed).
16:59:42  int-e: I'm sure some tiling window managers are sufficiently customizable to, in theory, permit you to write a layout that will make terminals 80 characters wide, and just resize other kinds of windows (or leave gaps if there are only terminals).
17:00:37  Sure, laziness is a factor.
17:01:37  `xmonad-contrib` has a very simple variant of that in the XMonad.Layout.FixedColumn module, which will use a fixed multiple of the window's minimum resize dimension (which for terminals tends to be 1 character cell) for the master pane. But it's not particularly flexible.
17:01:38  xmonad-contrib`? No such file or directory
17:01:41  Also I'm not unhappy with my current WM (which has been the same for more than two decades)
17:02:08  I was trying to remember my progression of window managers the other day, but couldn't. :/
17:02:56  Easy. fvwm -> fvwm2. Plus some exposure to Sun's CDE.
17:03:44  my progression was gnome -> pekwm -> notion -> herbstluftwm
17:03:51  I spent quite a bit of energy on customizing fvwm2
17:04:26  And the main source of pain was the lack of multiple screen support for laptops, especially when giving presentations.
17:04:29  I think I went something like fvwm2 → fvwm95 → Enlightenment → WindowMaker → blackbox → fluxbox → evilwm → awesome → XMonad.
17:04:48  (CDE only for the SPARC workstations at the university.)
17:05:05  Yeah, my CDE exposure has the same cause.
17:05:48  I might have gotten the boxes wrong, maybe one of those was openbox.

21:17:37  "Sgeo" (https://matrix.to/#/@freenode_Sgeo:matrix.org): I think I'm gonna read Homestuck again. I'll plan to start on October 25th and then read 100 pages a week from that point on.
21:17:37  So it'll take, what, about two years? 
21:18:13  Man, Matrix is just the worst.
21:18:32  Yeah! What did it do this time? 
21:19:06  Wikipedia says 8,123 pages. 8123 / 100 / 52 ~= 1.56
21:19:29  Yup, that's a fair bunch.
21:19:52  100 pages a week would probably feel a bit inconsistent though, when a page can be anything from a 13 minute animation to just an image
21:19:58  idk
21:20:12  When people using Matrix post something on IRC it becomes decorated with all sorts of nonsense.
21:20:13  By Homestuck I actually mean all of MSPA, so add the rest of it in. :D
21:20:18  You can look at the IRC logs.
21:20:21  That's true. Maybe I'll go by hours instead.
21:20:29  Sometimes it's worse, like quoting half of the message of the person they're replying to.
21:20:41  The only nonsense from Matrix I see is when I was mentioned and it gave a full path to me
21:20:42  Not just a little nonsense? Interesting.
21:20:53  And then after that it's just normal

21:21:06  Were you pinging me? Maybe it inserts that on a ping
21:21:12  Interesting. Bardzo interesting.

21:25:32  Can Matrix be used as a bouncer? >.>

23:44:51  I remember the good old days, before Discord, when IRC was where it's at :D
23:59:41  When I started using Discord, I was weirded out by how centralized it is. I think I've given up on caring
23:59:49  Cloud is too convenient

2020-08-16:

It means "sound-taste" and refers to individual pleasure in the sounds and forms of words. 14:26:48 -!- Sgeo has joined. 14:30:01 I should maybe enter ioccc one day lol 15:22:05 -!- craigo has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 15:31:46 -!- Arcorann has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 15:58:09 -!- tromp has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 16:07:42 -!- kritixil1 has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 16:08:09 -!- kritixil1 has joined. 16:11:15 -!- tromp has joined. 16:23:59 -!- Lord_of_Life_ has joined. 16:25:54 -!- Lord_of_Life has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds). 16:26:49 -!- Lord_of_Life_ has changed nick to Lord_of_Life. 16:53:35 -!- tromp has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 17:15:20 -!- tromp has joined. 17:37:36 -!- wib_jonas has quit (Quit: Connection closed). 17:41:38 -!- tromp has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 17:45:57 -!- craigo has joined. 17:58:21 Can you use lazy evaluation to make a probability of exactly the error function? 18:04:26 hmm, what do you mean 18:06:15 -!- tromp has joined. 18:07:36 You can take computable reals, make them probabilistic, and then ask whether you can implement a machine that produces outputs that are distributed as N(0,1). 18:08:19 And the answer will be positive, yes you can do that. The details will probably(!) be tedious. 18:26:03 -!- kritixil1 has quit (Quit: quit). 18:42:47 -!- tromp has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 18:49:17 -!- adu has quit (Quit: adu). 18:51:01 anybody here plays one deck dungeon? 18:55:11 -!- tromp has joined. 18:56:53 -!- b_jonas has joined. 19:01:01 int-e: and that might actually cause less problems than the typical things you want to do with computable numbers, because you won't run into a comparison problem where you have two numbers that are equal and you try to evaluate them more and more precisely to tell if the first one is less than the second 19:06:00 -!- tromp has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 19:20:37 -!- Cale has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds). 19:23:03 -!- Cale has joined. 19:23:39 -!- tromp has joined. 19:27:00 -!- imode has joined. 19:35:40 -!- kspalaiologos has quit (Quit: Leaving). 19:39:50 -!- tromp has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 19:56:20 -!- tromp has joined. 20:08:49 -!- tromp has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 20:28:14 -!- tromp has joined. 20:38:44 -!- tromp has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 20:55:46 -!- tromp has joined. 21:07:48 -!- tromp has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 21:47:13 -!- tromp has joined. 21:52:23 -!- tromp has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds). 22:20:37 -!- arseniiv has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds). 22:29:32 -!- tromp has joined. 22:34:11 -!- tromp has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds). 22:47:35 -!- tromp has joined. 22:48:27 I wish Microsoft and the IANA together staged a coup where they announce as that they now effectively control timezone offsets in most of the non-islamic parts of the world, they declare themselves authoritive about future timezones, and politicians and local media are no longer allowed to change timezone rules without their permission, and they only give permission for rule changes announced at least 22:48:33 20 years in advance. 22:48:58 They'd have to add a new time-dependent flag to the format about which timezones they claim to be ruling. 22:49:12 to the format of the Olson's timezone database that is 22:51:36 Maybe they'd need Google to join as well. I think they could convince everyone to believe the time of their smartphones and computers rather than whatever the politicians announce and possibly force news agencies to use. 22:52:20 It might cause the usual temporary chaos with people confused about the timezone offset, but eventually the governments would give in. 22:53:28 Realistically though, why should they take any interest in that. 22:53:45 Which they? 22:53:55 MS et al. 22:55:41 For the same reason as most techies want that, because it's annoying to have to treat every fucking government's whim as an urgent security update that has to be propagated to every device, sometimes faster than normal update schedules, including devices that have no reason to be connected to anything and wouldn't normally need updates. 22:55:52 On the server side you just use a smoothened version of UTC. And you update type zones with your monthly update for clients. 22:55:59 Because we want to be able to plan future events and announce them in localtimes. 22:56:24 It's basically a solved problem. 22:56:25 Or adjust to plans by typical people who define their times in a localtime. 22:56:29 It's not a solved problem. 22:57:39 For a big tech company? I think the two things I said solve it for them, or reduce it to a nuisance. 22:58:35 [[Unary Except Every Zero Is Replaced with the Title of This Programming Language or, Alternately, Is Replaced with the Smallest Counter-Example to the Goldbach Conjecture.

I am not the only one. Even people that want to abolish DST some prefer one hour ahead and some not, though.) 23:22:11 The collaboration of Google is probably not needed, only that of IANA and Microsoft. 23:22:15 meh, early birds 23:22:42 well, at least I think so. I can't be sure they won't start a fork out of it. 23:22:49 I suppose not everyone would use Microsoft and IANA for planning events anyways, though, and not everyone can announce changes twenty years in advance. Not everyone will use smartphones or computers either. But, CBC has a national official time signal on the radio, so you can still have that. (But, if you need accurate timekeeping then probably you will have a computer machine, too.) 23:25:08 But, I would want that even if you use a sundial you can get close enough (if the weather is OK, and accurate timekeeping isn't needed). 23:27:18 [[Special:Log/newusers]] create * Asra * New user account 23:28:36 Do you like sun dial? 23:29:04 [[Esolang:Introduce yourself]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76711&oldid=76707 * Asra * (+64) /* Introductions */ 23:30:35 [[Esolang:Introduce yourself]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76712&oldid=76711 * Asra * (+73) /* Introductions */ 23:32:58 [[Special:Log/newusers]] create * Mattisfond * New user account 23:34:49 [[Special:Log/newusers]] create * JCG * New user account 23:37:41 [[Esolang:Introduce yourself]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76713&oldid=76712 * JCG * (+115) Added myself, John Griffin. 23:39:43 [[User talk:Asra]] N https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?oldid=76714 * Asra * (+14) Created page with "this is a test" 23:40:03 [[User talk:Asra]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76715&oldid=76714 * Asra * (+23) /* wait what */ new section 23:43:20 [[Brainfuck]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76716&oldid=75353 * JCG * (+126) 23:56:30 [[Faces]] N https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?oldid=76717 * Asra * (+1463) Created page with "Face is a programming language that is made up of entirely faces, there are 16 faces in total and are used as commands and arguments or seperators.

Does anybody know a simplistic wiki which uses Markdown, allows math and may well be unversioned? (and maybe even no merge functionality, I plan to use it only myself). And just maybe it also generates/refreshes static HTMLs? That would be optimal. Wait, it could also add Disqus widgets to the bottom of selected pages. Now that’s complete 07:11:14 I’m well afraid I’ll need to write that myself. That would be a simple and good Python ecosystem exercise but… laaazy 07:16:12 Maybe describe better what you are trying to make with that? 07:16:39 (Fossil supports Markdown, but not the other stuff you mention.) 07:22:20 arseniiv: I use miraheze with tags, prefer $ but i have a userscript to transform 07:22:34 -!- Sgeo has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 07:22:44 I think tiddlywiki can do mathjax though, which would be nice 07:22:48 specially for self hosting 07:23:01 http://mathjax-tw5.kantorsite.net/ 07:28:05 Some TeX commands I used in math formulas many other systems can't use, so it isn't very good. 07:30:42 zzo38: just a site with a couple of posts 07:32:20 arseniiv: Then maybe just use a static page generator that can convert Markdown to HTML (and render the math with another program too, I suppose, and then you can include the pictures, with alt text containing the original text), I think. 07:32:40 (If you need discussion forums, I can suggest setting up NNTP) 07:33:14 rain1: how hard is it to host TiddlyWiki these days? (Without someone else being able to edit it) 07:34:10 I suppose you could password POST and PUT requests in your server configuration, if the software supports writing but you want to restrict it. 07:34:28 i think it is just a html file you can save on your computer 07:35:07 zzo38: yeah, I still consider that but I don’t want to sync files to the server. Hmm maybe git pull once a couple of minutes wouldn’t harm the server but I don’t know how to do that yet 07:35:47 I already have a repo and pandoc here and on the server. That’s cheap for a static site generator but it will do maybe. But a wiki-like thing would be even better still 07:36:48 rain1: yeah, but uploading it to the server each time would be tedious :\ 07:36:54 what server? 07:37:04 Some server to host a website 07:37:21 oh you want to host it online 07:37:26 If you are only editing it yourself and do not need history, then why do you need a "wiki-like thing"? 07:37:40 (anyway thanks! Right now I don’t use TW but maybe that plugin would be useful in the future for local notes) 07:37:57 i think i don't fully understand what you need 07:38:05 I thought this was local notes 07:38:16 should it be readable by everyone but writable by you only? 07:38:22 zzo38: I mean, wiki-like in that it allows you edit it in the browser 07:38:26 rain1: exactly 07:39:19 maybe miraheze has a option for it 07:39:24 it can be writable by more than one person too, just ones I can keep track of somewhere in the config 07:40:08 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:User_rights_and_groups 07:41:26 miraheze is a good thing too, my friends and me use it for some other notes a bit in a shared wiki, but sometimes it’s slow and has small issues 07:42:39 ok 07:42:50 github pages could be an option 07:43:04 because you can invite people to edit it 07:43:07 yeah mediawiki (and miraheze also) is a, well, thing, but it would be too big in a sense that it’s far more than needed. Thanks once more though! Maybe I really just need to install it, why not… but… 07:44:37 and that thing too, yes. Though it requires a public repo. That’s not bad, I just wanted to experiment a bit in a private one, but maybe 07:44:54 also I think one can write small posts in github gists :D 07:46:14 hm for early drafts that may even be well enough 07:47:02 I like the math.stackexchange editor where you get feedback on the latex 07:50:37 I generally find it suitable and useful to just host plain text files. Better compatibility, faster, etc. 07:51:53 zzo38: ASCII math is a pain sometimes though :) too much parentheses and less digestable expressions, and sometimes an ambiguous syntax 07:53:28 Yes, although for some things it works (for math, it is not as good as TeX, though, of course) 07:58:13 https://bookstore.ams.org/car-36/ 08:10:13 -!- hendursa1 has joined. 08:11:45 -!- imode has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds). 08:12:39 -!- tswett[m] has quit (Quit: killed). 08:12:40 -!- wmww has quit (Quit: killed). 08:12:58 -!- hendursaga has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 08:22:08 -!- wmww has joined. 08:53:21 what a book 08:54:08 [[Special:Log/newusers]] create * CatLooks * New user account 08:55:39 -!- tswett[m] has joined. 09:01:40 [[Esolang:Introduce yourself]] M https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76720&oldid=76713 * CatLooks * (+182) /* Introductions */ 09:05:27 [[User:CatLooks]] N https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?oldid=76721 * CatLooks * (+135) Created page with "Hi, I'm CatLooks.

I have a daemon thing written in Go, and I need a way to control it a little (ask for status, force it to perform scheduled tasks right now, that sort of thing). What's the best way to make that happen? 11:31:20 I'm vacillating between (a) a Unix domain control socket (with maybe gRPC on it, if that's kosher) and a corresponding `fooctl` command-line program to complement the `food` (no pun intended), auth handled by filesystem permissions; or (b) a HTTPS server providing a browser-based control surface, with client certificate fingerprints saved in the config file for auth. 11:31:25 But maybe there's something obviously better than either. 11:34:29 Can I recommend not using dbus? 11:35:44 Ooh, I didn't even think of that. Maybe I should use D-Bus? 11:36:31 dbus uses approach a, for what it's worth. 11:37:09 But it sure isn't something I want to use. 11:38:57 I think it haad some sort of custom authentication mechanism on top too. 11:39:28 I think it has multiple authentication methods?

Selling things on Epic Game Store? 19:07:49 myname: The Google brief actually has an example for innovation that is a video game where you pay for extra lives seamlessly during gameplay. 19:07:58 myname: pay to win in its purest form. 19:08:10 -!- pikhq has joined. 19:08:17 fortnite is an interesting phenomenon. it's f2p, you cannot pay for gaming advantages, yet they make plenty of money 19:08:37 int-e: how so? 19:09:09 [citation needed] 19:09:29 What Epic has been doing seems pretty pro-developer to me. 19:09:46 at least above industry average 19:09:56 (which is pretty low) 19:10:02 myname: It is pay to win, it's just that the game isn't obvious. It's about coolness. 19:10:32 int-e: what gaming advantage can you get with money in an epic game? 19:10:33 "I'm an original gamer, I have all the Season 1 goodies" 19:10:43 Are clothing stores also pay to win? 19:10:47 that's not pay to win 19:10:55 myname: As I said, it's not the obvious game. 19:11:08 Seems hard to get that worked up about people playing a game and paying to change their character's appearance. 19:11:31 myname: It's about looks, like not sailing in on an umbrella like Mary Poppins. 19:12:30 int-e: i strongly disagree about that being p2w. you may have some sort of community circlejerking, but i can choose whether or not i participate there and i will have no disadvantage in the main game if i choose not to 19:13:06 myname: thank god for not being a teenager 19:13:22 21:10:43 Are clothing stores also pay to win? 19:13:24 ^ 19:14:18 "an example for innovation that is a video game where you pay for extra lives seamlessly during gameplay" => how is that innovation? didn't many of the earliest arcade and pinball games do that? 19:14:39 b_jonas: you have to ask Epic and their lawyers 19:17:27 Anyway, I want Epic to prevail on their antitrust claims. I don't care about the Fortnite sideshow. I think it'd be perfectly reasonable to force Epic to adhere to Apple's ToS for the time being (meaning adhering to the requirement of using Apple's payment processor) and then wait for the antitrust case to settle. 19:17:54 Imagine if they actually succeed at their stated goal of reducing game store fees from 30% to 12%. 19:18:16 And also at breaking Steam's monopoly. 19:18:23 i wonder if google has it easier as you can pretty easily install third party apps on android 19:19:05 i'd like them to break steam's monopoly without actually breaking steam, pretty please 19:19:27 myname: is it easier to install third party apps on android than to install third party apps on apple? 19:19:54 b_jonas: you can toggle a setting in android and can install downloaded apks 19:20:00 myname: Maybe. Their main complaint against Google is actually that they enter agreements with OEMs that mandate having Google Play displayed prominently and prevents OEMs from having alternative stores preinstalled (with the exception of Samsung's Galaxy, which is a case where the OEM has their own store)> 19:20:03 on ios, you need to jailbreak 19:20:38 myname: And sideloading is just to scary for most users, says Epic. 19:21:13 And they cite the European Commission who found that Google Play has a 90% market share worldwide in the Android app market. 19:21:36 well, what is their idea on how the play store gets financed? 19:22:20 Epic, for the time being, thinks a 12% share is enough to finance a store. 19:22:42 and they would remove their own payment option then? 19:22:45 seems fair 19:22:45 And they do mention that they would establish their own Android and iOS stores, given the chance. 19:22:53 myname: No they wouldn't. 19:23:06 Fortnite *is* a sideshow here. 19:23:07 they already do have their own stores 19:23:32 Reading between the lines they really want their own store, on all platforms. 19:23:32 i wanted to play an epic game for android and needed to install their store 19:23:39 myname: hmm, but isn't apple trying to jail software to hardware in the other direction instead, as in, ensuring that their OS and programs can only be ran on hardware that they sell, as opposed to android and windows, for which third party companies are allowed to make and sell hardware 19:24:21 myname: And btw, if Apple has problems with making profit from free to play games... I'm sure they can come up with a payment model for those that works independently of in game payments. 19:24:25 b_jonas: both 19:24:53 not that it's *easy* to make hardware for android in practice, mind you 19:24:53 int-e: like the game pass? 19:25:19 myname: Like charging the developer for every sold copy and every shipped update. 19:25:25 "sold" 19:25:36 I guess "every download" sums it up better. 19:25:50 it's interesting to watch how apple and google basically try to make the same thing with their passes yet they have significant differences 19:26:26 int-e: charging for every download if you have no other choice will lead to another lawsuit, i guess 19:26:53 myname: Not really, not if the fees are "reasonable" by a pretty broad standard. 19:27:16 i would feel pretty blocked out if i am not allowed to offer a game that makes me no money without having to pay regularly 19:27:30 It'll be the same lawsuit, which, again, is about opening up the market to alternative stores, not really about Fortnite. 19:27:34 if you have ads in the game, sure, apple can get their share 19:28:30 myname: I'm sure stores can distinguish between commercial games (with in game revenue stream) and non-commercial ones if they like. 19:28:48 * int-e shrugs. 19:28:55 at least if they adhere to the tos, yeah 19:29:07 Actually we have too many things going on in this discussion, it's getting confusing. 19:29:10 the play store lists if an app contains IAP or ads 20:23:46 do you like The Corrs’ “Runaway” composition-wise/sound-wise?

would it be like 23:03:06 "valueA, valueB, valueC (keyA, keyB, keyC)"? 23:03:56 by mostly self-explanatory I mean eg. valueA is a timestamp, and you can guess that it's a timestamp because it's formatted like a timestamp, and you can guess what it is timestamp for because that's what makes sense in context. 23:30:23 I think it depends on the program and other stuff 2020-08-19: 00:28:10 Why does the PK font format not pad scanlines and most other uses of packed bitmaps (e.g. PBM, PostScript, X windows) do pad scanlines?

However, I also mean such things like: http://esolangs.org/wiki/Talk:GASOIL 11:23:08 Also, I do not merely mean operations such as "if", and casting bool to int might count as a "boolean operation" (or might not, depending how you count it). 11:23:32 Also, note that in C, any nonzero number will be true. 11:24:49 well, i don't know if rust allows you to cast a boolean to a number 11:25:20 you can do it with the ternary operator, but that's kind of an if imho 11:25:36 I also don't know; I don't know Rust programming 11:25:38 zzo38: in systems with self-modification, such as ByteByteJump, changing jump addresses provides conditions 11:26:00 ...though, you probably already know that... 11:27:15 t20kdc: Yes, there is that. Perhaps make a list of the different ways. I know of some ways, but maybe not all, and even if I do know, that does not mean I know all of them. Also, some that already have conditions, implementing it differently may be inefficient of course, but that isn't my concern of course. 11:28:36 A technique I think I've seen in shader programming is to use multiply-by-0/multiply-by-1 as a conditional add. 11:29:18 i do this all the time 11:29:19 (I think I once also figured out how to make up some conditions in TeX without using any of the condition commands, too) 11:29:29 t20kdc: Yes, and I think I have done that 11:31:15 (I have also done something similar in BASIC, which has no ?: command like C has, but note that in BASIC, the operators that make a boolean value will be -1 if true rather than +1) 11:32:30 that's not that uncommon 11:32:50 true being -1 makes boolean operations somewhat nicer 11:33:07 Yes, I know that it does in some ways. 11:34:33 In LLVM, a boolean is just a one bit integer, so you can sign-extend or zero-extend. 11:34:52 interesting 11:36:06 In PostScript, you can do this: /if << true /exec load false /pop load >> def /if {exch //if exch get exec} bind def 11:37:37 (Actually, eq can also be implemented in a similar way, except for the name length limit and the fact that null is not a valid key in a dictionary.) 11:38:53 (I don't know if it could for lt and gt though.) 11:40:46 I suppose, in programming languages with arbitrarily big numbers, you might be able to check less/greater by doing subtraction, convert to a string, and check if the first character is a minus sign by using a dictionary. 11:56:47 -!- kritixilithos has joined. 12:28:41 -!- kritixilithos has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 12:39:07 -!- hendursa1 has quit (Quit: hendursa1). 12:39:25 -!- hendursaga has joined. 12:52:06 I some cases, loops with repeat counts can be used. 12:56:08 -!- kritixilithos has joined. 13:13:10 Today's Girl Genius: Albia asks what we're all thinking 13:23:31 -!- craigo has joined. 13:55:23 -!- kritixilithos has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 13:57:10 Are there test files to test a DVI reading program?

15:15:00 https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/socket.7.html 15:17:37 spruit11: "Unless otherwise noted, optval is a pointer to an int." that suggests int, but I'm not sure it applies to IP_MTU, which is doc'ed in ip(7) 15:17:54 Lemme check. 15:18:53 That's not listed as an option you can pass? 15:19:51 ip(7) says "Returns an integer." 15:20:17 probably an int, that's wide enough for all IP MTU 15:20:41 Success... 15:26:29 ah look https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getsockopt.2.html says "Most socket-level options utilize an int argument for optval." 15:27:48 Well, isn't that exactly the same as man 7 socket's "unless otherwise noted, optval is a pointer to an int" that you quoted? 15:29:03 As in, it's not strictly a "socket-level option" if you pass IPPROTO_IP as the level, so if you don't think one of them necessarily applies, the other shouldn't either. 15:29:21 (I'd assume `int` anyway.) 15:30:46 fizzie: yes, but there are sockopt options associated with different layers, distinguihsed by the second arg of ?etsockopt, so SOL_SOCKET layer doc'ed in socket(7), IPPROTO_IP layer doc'ed in ip(7) etc, and ip(7) does not have such a ocmment, but the getsockopt(2) comment is for any layer 15:31:18 fizzie: and eg. libcurl I think uses long or long long as default type for options 15:32:09 No, I don't think it's for any layer. 15:32:13 It says "socket-level options". 15:32:20 hmm 15:32:35 The second parameter of getsockopt is called `level`, not `layer`. 15:32:39 but does "socket-level" mean socket(7) level or any level of sockets? 15:33:04 I would *assume* it means level == SOL_SOCKET. 15:33:04 I should look at the header file, it may have useful comments 15:33:11 "To manipulate options at the sockets API level, level is specified as SOL_SOCKET." 15:33:16 (Another bit from man getsockopt.) 15:34:03 probably 15:34:35 yep, the header "/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/in.h" has a clear comment that says int 15:34:39 that's where I should have looked at first 15:35:12 although... it also says "bool" for some types, and iiuc those are of int type, not of the C99/C++ bool type (which has sizeof 1 on x86) 15:35:39 but these comments may have been written when wasn't a usual thing so bool wasn't a macro or keyword 15:35:47 or at least by people who were used to that 15:36:25 Yeah, I imagine `bool` in that context just means "int with value 0 or 1". 15:37:06 in fact there's a comment for that too: "bool" means a boolean value stored in an `int'. 15:37:10 in the same header file 15:37:42 headers are often useful, I should look at headers more often 15:38:01 they're not useful for all libraries, but for linux ones they are 15:38:50 -!- Arcorann has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 15:40:13 I did a class on Objective-C and iOS things once, and the instructor was firmly of the opinion that it's better to read Apple's header files than their documentation. 15:40:22 They have surprisingly few comments in there though. 16:10:44 Is the a classification of finite categories analogous to that of the finite groups?

18:44:45 I know there is an algorithm to compute cosine/sine from that representation and that it’s used in some special hardware but I doesn’t know more. Maybe there are interesting things related to that 18:47:18 ah, there would also be of course useful an intrinsic operation (x, m) ↦ 2π(x mod m) which doesn’t resort to floating-point operations (x, m may be non-angular fixed-point numbers or integers) 18:48:51 the friend came to this noting that expressing angles in floating point makes some values less precise than others, which is quite unnatural for angle representation 18:50:43 arseniiv: hmm... I don't know, I've only seen sin and cos routines for various floating points, including arbitrary precision. so if you gave me a fixed point value with some known range, I'd just scale it to a floating point value of the required precision and compute the sin that way. 18:51:33 you could probably do it directly with fixed points if you really wanted to, but the fact is, double precision floats (64 bit) is almost always eonugh precision for computations like this, and they're fast 18:51:58 so usually just use double precision or single precision, and even then you can choose a full sincos routine or some faster but less precise approximation 18:52:25 trying to do the computation with integers would just slow this down 18:52:43 at least on the modern fast x86_64 hardware that I work on 18:53:53 you can still use a scaled fixed point value for storage or communication if you want 18:53:55 in a usual system, yes, but there happen to be a dedicated hardware for doing that… 18:55:31 yes, dedicated hardware for measurements for example. at our work we do industrial control, and all the analog sensors have a hardware that gives fixed point numbers with a known scale (the scale is known from the type of hardware) to the computer, but then our program on the cpu just scales that to a single-precision floating point number before we do anything with it 18:55:53 except possibly an out of range checks (to detect hardware failures), that may be before the scaling 18:57:20 though we very rarely need to compute anything like a sincos from them, I believe the only case is a tank where we're estimating the volume of the contained liquid from a distance sensor that measures the height, and we know the shape of the tank in advance 18:57:54 and that's for the operator UI, not for the control 19:25:26 yeah double is very precise and even single is sometimes good, damn you IEEE 754 for being so good 19:25:40 yes, sometimes single is good, sometimes not 19:26:16 of course you also have to write your program correctly, if you write it bad so it has additions that cancel out or such similar problems, then no amount of precision is enough 19:26:29 Minecraft used single in some places but then in very big worlds very far away this caused entities to misalign. Not long ago they changed to double in those places to alleviate that 19:30:40 and that's why when kids grow up to programmers, we tell them that their teachers lied to them about the quadratic equation a*x**2 + b*x + c = 0 where a, b, c are given real numbers: its actual solutions are x_0 = -(b + sgn(b) * sqrt(b**2 - 4*a*c)) / (2*a), x_1 = c / (a * x_0) 19:32:44 and when you understand why exactly that is true, you've done the first step on the long path to become a numeric programmer 19:54:05 [[Imeight]] N https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?oldid=76752 * Kekcsi * (+2589) Created page with "== What is imeight == ''imeight'' is an imaginary eight-bit machine imagined by Csaba Skrabk.

Traditionally JPEG encoded all coefficients together in the same huffmanized stream, which isn't too efficient. But they fixed that later with progressive JPEG. Almost all JPEG decoders, except a few cheap phones, can decode that now. Progressive JPEG splits coefficients to groups, 11:37:40 each of which is encoded in its own huffmanized section, with possible separate encodings, which both reduces files size and gives better outputs for partially decided streams. 11:38:33 -!- kritixil1 has joined. 11:43:17 [[User:TwilightSparkle]] N https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?oldid=76762 * OsmineYT * (+156) Created page with "created this page bc the user didn't had it -- ~~~~" 11:44:04 [[Jsfunc]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76763&oldid=72954 * OsmineYT * (+9) 11:44:50 [[User:OsmineYT]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76764&oldid=76731 * OsmineYT * (-22) 11:45:02 [[User:OsmineYT]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76765&oldid=76764 * OsmineYT * (+1) 12:11:46 -!- t20kdc has joined. 12:14:02 -!- hendursa1 has quit (Quit: hendursa1). 12:14:22 -!- hendursaga has joined. 12:41:15 -!- adu has joined. 12:46:03 -!- kritixil1 has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 12:50:33 -!- kritixil1 has joined. 13:50:55 -!- craigo has joined. 13:58:06 -!- kritixil1 has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 14:34:26 -!- kritixil1 has joined. 14:46:26 -!- kritixilithos has joined. 14:46:43 -!- kritixil1 has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 14:49:06 -!- kritixil1 has joined. 14:51:23 -!- kritixilithos has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 16:00:41 -!- Arcorann has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 16:18:36 -!- imode has joined. 16:28:54 -!- Lord_of_Life_ has joined. 16:31:11 -!- Lord_of_Life has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds). 16:31:11 -!- Lord_of_Life_ has changed nick to Lord_of_Life. 16:56:18 b_jonas: Yes, I know that. But my other question was not only about PNG. 16:59:31 (Also, what I mentioned about meaningless values isn't applicable to PNG anyways; all pixel values are meaningful, unless you are for some reason using prediction filters for indexed colours, which isn't normally done.) 17:00:24 (The prediction types themself do have meaningless values; one way they could do without complicate the decoder much is to ignore the high bits of the prediction type byte) 17:06:06 zzo38: prediction filters are useful for indexed colors, if your image has a lot of areas of solid color 17:06:14 well, maybe not too much 17:06:24 because deflate already compresses that well 17:06:30 but they're not entirely useless 17:08:36 I think other formats (e.g. Maki-chan, and YZIP picture libraries) that use prediction for indexed colours use XOR filters for prediction instead, though. 17:10:57 YZIP picture format uses huffed RLE of the XOR filtered data.

Redwolf10105 * (-37) Removed interpreter link (no longer exists) 21:37:18 What can be good way of picture compression with indexed colours? I know of a few different things which have been done, including XOR, LZW, and RLE. 21:38:33 zzo38: I usually just use PNG for that 21:38:40 and you know how that works 21:39:54 Yes, it is DEFLATE. There might be better ways though; I don't know. 21:42:34 Some formats support storing both a monochrome and colour version together, such as XPM format and Infocom's format (although XPM isn't compressed). Stippling is also supported in both formats, although I do not know of any implementation that does it other than my own (the reference implementation of XPM can probably decode stippling, but as far as I know it cannot encode stippling). 21:43:31 Infocom's YZIP picture library format uses huffed RLE with XOR, either the line above or the line above that. 21:44:32 (Although the PC variant seems to be based on LZW instead. I don't know what bits in the header specify the variant and exactly how it is done, although there seems to be some.) 21:50:35 Also, I don't know if any format other than XPM supports symbolic colours in the way that XPM has, although I invented an extension to PNG to support it (the "xpMC" chunk). 21:52:44 there exists good. Rifling through some old things I found a MIDI 1in/1out-to-USB cable which I presumed earlier didn’t work ever once and tried to test it once more (it should have been working at least on winXP without explicit installation but nope). I went to the manufacturer’s website and found not only this cable, discontinued long ago but having a neat archive page nonetheless, together with some its discontinued predecessors 21:52:44 and siccessors, but also there was a page with drivers and there was a driver for win7 (which I currently use) and it suddenly worked! like a charm! 21:53:16 successors* 21:55:29 I mean, it didn’t have a CD with a driver, that was a feature it should just auto-install from whatever memory it does have on itself, and work. But that didn’t happen in my case, or maybe I was too dumb in 2007 21:55:47 yes I forgot to mention that it was bought and manufactured in 2007 21:58:28 hopefully those folks are well-paid. For some reasons many companies don’t maintain their old product archive as well 21:59:05 arseniiv: yeah. especially publishers once their books sold out. I hate it. 21:59:29 there are three books for which I have a long errata list that I couldn't get the publishers host. 21:59:58 b_jonas: hopefully that will see some improvement in the future 22:01:41 that’s cool you compiled the errors in a list instead of just pencil-editing them at the corresponding pages or just plain forgetting about them. I don’t have such a good habit for example :( 22:02:39 arseniiv: it's not such a good habit because I only published them for one and a half book, and didn't push hard enough on the publishers 22:03:15 though I don’t have books in paper form which I’d consider gems, so maybe I would collect errata if I’d have one such 22:04:13 b_jonas: at least you can publish them somewhere. This makes a small difference but 22:04:23 I only have two of those. the third one is K&R, which I don't have because I don't think I need it anymore, I only borrowed them from the library 22:04:23 hmmm 22:04:44 isn’t there a book errata project somewhere? 22:05:04 dunno 22:05:18 maybe there's one on wikibooks or something 22:06:27 if there was no more than a few of them that would be good as people would search these places easily, and updating them with their own finds would be also not hard 22:06:46 arseniiv: yes 22:07:00 someone should start such a project if it doesn't exist yet, good idea 22:07:30 anyway collecting small book fixes is good.

These are definitely on the "potentially infinite" side of things, not the "completed infinity" side of things. How about "ω-loop", "ω-list", how d'you like those. 11:13:01 what do you mean by completed infinity 11:15:46 I think I mean what is conventionally meant by the phrase when mathematicians use it conventionally 11:16:41 i never heard that phrase 11:17:40 Wikipedia's article on it is called "Actual infinity", which might be the more common phrase, but I've heard both 11:19:07 but that page explicitly names natural numbers. and an infinite list is pretty easily injectively mappable onto those 11:20:07 One can certainly regard the naturals as potentially infinite, can't one? 11:20:51 i don't get what point this definition is trying to make. are countable infinities "actual" or not? if so, why not when N is? 11:24:57 I guess if one talks about "countable infinities", presumably versus "uncountable infinities", one has, like Cantor, already concluded they're "actual". 11:25:08 it should be called a non-terminating loop 11:25:13 it is not infinite, but it does not stop 11:25:24 (actually it will stop, but only in practice not in theory) 11:28:34 I guess "infinite loop" is a bit of a misnomer... 11:32:41 I can't really see how "infinite list" would still be acceptable terminology if "infinite loop" isn't, though. The list is not infinite, it just does not end. 11:34:28 Or the other way around, you could easily have an infinite list of successive configurations of an executing Turing machine; if that list is "really infinite" then the loop that the TM is in is "really infinite" too. 11:35:25 [[User:OsmineYT]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76835&oldid=76765 * OsmineYT * (-22) 11:36:28 [[Special:Log/move]] move * OsmineYT * moved [[User:OsmineYT]] to [[User:Osminee]]: "Changed" nickname 11:36:28 [[Special:Log/move]] move * OsmineYT * moved [[User talk:OsmineYT]] to [[User talk:Osminee]]: "Changed" nickname 11:38:56 [[Special:Log/move]] move_redir * OsmineYT * moved [[User:Osminee]] to [[User:OsmineYT]] over redirect: Undid previous move operation 11:38:56 [[Special:Log/move]] move_redir * OsmineYT * moved [[User talk:Osminee]] to [[User talk:OsmineYT]] over redirect: Undid previous move operation 11:38:56 [[Special:Log/delete]] delete_redir * OsmineYT * OsmineYT deleted redirect [[User:OsmineYT]] by overwriting: Deleted to make way for move from "[[User:Osminee]]" 11:38:56 [[Special:Log/delete]] delete_redir * OsmineYT * OsmineYT deleted redirect [[User talk:OsmineYT]] by overwriting: Deleted to make way for move from "[[User talk:Osminee]]" 11:58:12 [[!@$%^&*()+]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76844&oldid=76834 * TwilightSparkle * (-20) /* Syntax */ This is confusing. 11:58:37 -!- cpressey has quit (Quit: Lunch.). 12:04:32 [[!@$%^&*()+]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76845&oldid=76844 * TwilightSparkle * (+1) /* Hello world */ 12:07:38 [[!@$%^&*()+]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76846&oldid=76845 * TwilightSparkle * (+26) /* Syntax */ 12:23:50 -!- adu has joined. 12:43:19 -!- hendursa1 has quit (Quit: hendursa1). 12:43:34 -!- hendursaga has joined. 12:43:52 [[!@$%^&*()+]] M https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76847&oldid=76846 * SunnyMoon * (+65) A note 12:44:10 [[!@$%^&*()+]] M https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76848&oldid=76847 * SunnyMoon * (+1) . 12:51:16 [[!@$%^&*()+]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76849&oldid=76848 * TwilightSparkle * (-23) /* Even or odd */ Golfed 13:04:42 -!- cpressey has joined. 13:30:01 [[!@$%^&*()+]] M https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76850&oldid=76849 * TwilightSparkle * (-10) /* Even or odd */ Forgot... 13:35:31 [[!@$%^&*()+]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76851&oldid=76850 * TwilightSparkle * (-4) /* Snippets */ Improved 13:51:56 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24257630 ppcg's collaborative polyglot of 200+ langs got posted to hn 13:57:04 [[User:Masldobehere]] M https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76852&oldid=76820 * TwilightSparkle * (-29) 13:58:42 [[!@$%^&*()+]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76853&oldid=76851 * SunnyMoon * (-8) Replaced a snippet with a better variant (Thanks, TwilightSparkle) 14:04:59 -!- Arcorann_ has joined. 14:06:22 -!- Arcorann has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds). 14:08:48 [[!@$%^&*()+]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76854&oldid=76853 * TwilightSparkle * (+169) /* LOLOL */ 14:29:51 -!- adu has quit (Quit: adu). 14:36:00 [[!@$%^&*()+]] M https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76855&oldid=76854 * TwilightSparkle * (-43) /* Snippets */ 14:36:55 [[!@$%^&*()+]] M https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76856&oldid=76855 * TwilightSparkle * (-5) /* Even or odd */ 14:46:16 -!- Melvar has quit (Quit: WeeChat 2.8). 14:47:14 -!- cpressey has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds). 14:52:42 -!- cpressey has joined. 14:55:49 -!- Melvar has joined. 15:08:07 -!- iovoid has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 15:12:11 -!- iovoid has joined. 15:14:14 [[!@$%^&*()+]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=76857&oldid=76856 * SunnyMoon * (-6) The not gate can be shorter!

I wonder if the reason Windows adopted the BSD sockets API was because it was sufficiently over-complicated 21:26:16 and at one point I mentioned that on linux, you open and possibly create a file with the open syscall, the creat syscall also does that but it's obsolete and should never be used; on windows you open and possibly create a file with the CreateFile syscall or its variants, the OpenFile syscall also used to do that but it's obsolete and should never be used. 21:29:42 ...ah, yes, I can tell that OpenFile should never be used, because it's actually a relatively simple function (but has some name length issues) 21:31:14 looks at CreateFile and I can tell that this is Microsoft-recommended because it has... way too many parameters (though see CreateFile2 which has less of them, but is also Windows 8+) 21:58:28 -!- LKoen_ has joined. 22:00:39 -!- LKoen has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds). 22:24:16 t20kdc: hehe a neat heuristic 22:24:55 I wouldn’t know, I mostly saw WinAPI function names a while ago and rarely 22:25:16 arseniiv: I occasionally have to interact with the Windows API when porting stuff 22:25:46 in practice, accounting for the things SDL2 successfully paves over, there are two APIs that one has to deal with: Not-Windows and Windows 22:40:34 -!- arseniiv has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds). 23:00:36 -!- Arcorann_ has joined. 23:01:10 -!- Arcorann_ has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 23:01:36 -!- Arcorann_ has joined. 23:04:26 You can use #ifdef if needed, as well as making your own compatibility layers, or writing for Windows and using Wine to run it on Linux, or writing for Linux and using WSL to run it on Windows, or using a kind of VM code, are some possibilities.

Or you don’t want to disable them in case they are needed other time? 11:56:05 ah, they aren’t their own device, I get it now 11:56:50 though maybe they can be muted in the settings of their corresponding audio device 11:56:51 arseniiv: I do sometimes want the speakers, especially when doing an online phone call to a remote co-worker such that a third person is next to me on my side and needs to listen. and yes, it's a work laptop, not owned by me, so no I won't try to deliberately permanently harm it. 11:57:17 okay 11:57:34 -!- cpressey has quit (Quit: WeeChat 1.9.1). 11:57:43 They can be muted, but it seems (I haven't done enough experiments) that that doesn't work, maybe the volume setting gets carried over from the headphones when it switches over or something. 11:58:45 I forgot to mention that the headphones are connected to the audio jack port in the docking station. 12:00:10 There's another audio jack port on the notebook. Both of these are technically headset ports, so they can carry a headset with headphones and microphone together. I think that is impractical on the docker, since it means you can't plug in an external microphone through analog audio port, but makes sense on the laptop chasis itself where space for 12:00:10 ports is constrained. 12:00:46 This docking stations provides very few ports in general. 12:01:42 There's only an HDMI port on it, no DVI, (this may be deliberate conspiracy by hardware manufacturers to sell the expensive HDMI cables or converters). 12:02:43 There's also a third audio device, namely the monitor's built-in speaker connected through HDMI, but the speaker in this cheap monitor has such bad audio quality that I don't use it at all. 12:05:37 Heh, I wonder if the headphone sensing works such that you could actually make a mute switch from a 3.5mm plug and a switch. I imagine they're all based on electronics, not some microswitch in the hole or anything like that. 12:09:02 My work laptop (Debian, PulseAudio) has a pretty unintuitive behavior with headphones and volume. If I turn the volume down with no headphones plugged in (because I don't want the laptop speaker going "bong" every now and then), it'll retain that volume level if I plug in headphones (so I can't hear anyone on the video call). Then, if I turn up the volume temporarily for the call, and then unplug the 12:09:08 headphones, it actually resets the volume back to the low level it used to be. But when I plug headphones back in, it remains low, and I miss the first few seconds of the next meeting trying to fiddle with the volume controls again. 12:10:31 So it's clearly got some sort of separate notion of volume levels for the different configurations (since it resets the volume back when unplugging the headset), but that somehow doesn't extend to remembering what I wanted the volume to be *with* the headset plugged in. 12:12:21 That's odd.

There *are* three connected monitors (the built-in panel, and two external, both connected through a single USB-C cable doing the DP Alt Mode + MST thing), but that might be purely a coincidence. 12:21:20 Two of them say they're "plugged in" and one is "unplugged". 12:21:32 But none of these things are actually capable of making any noise, so. 12:21:34 fizzie: it more or less has to be nondeterministic, or at least appear nondeterministic to a casual observer, since you can just plug in audio devices through USB or wifi at runtime, or have them plugged in from boot, and it doesn't seem like you could make a canonical ordering of them that's obvious to humans. 12:22:11 Not a canonical ordering, but I feel like it maintains some sort of preference list or a mapping between apps and devices somewhere. 12:22:20 If the HDMI/DP things is sensible then it should map to fixed connectors :-/ 12:22:33 There aren't that many holes in the thing. :) 12:22:57 (Smiley because often things are not sensible.) 12:23:06 fizzie: that's also why we can't just use the simple old ways to select hard disk as boot device or mount source, /dev/sda could mean a hard disk connected anywhere, not only on the first of two physical ATA ports on your motherboard. 12:23:06 And that would mean you couldn't stream audio over to the monitor connected over DP chaining ("MST"). 12:24:22 "that many holes" => again, USB and bluetooth audio devices 12:24:53 USB can have passive hubs, at which point the hardware can't even tell which hole on the hub you plugged a device into 12:25:06 Yes, but I mean, it can't be mapping three "HDMIn/DPn" outputs to three "fixed connectors" because of that. 12:25:59 I have in fact used both USB and bluetooth audio devices on a work laptop, though I think not on this work laptop, and bluetooth is often not very reliable 12:26:22 In any case, after you've selected a particular sink for a particular app, it feels like it remembers those associations (up to switching to the USB DAC when I turn that on, if I previously "preferred" that), except that sometimes it just doesn't. 12:31:28 -!- craigo has quit (Quit: Leaving). 12:31:38 -!- t20kdc has joined. 12:39:57 -!- kspalaiologos has quit (Quit: Leaving). 12:42:31 "sink" because the ports are not specialized, you can connect anything including the kitchen sink through USB3 12:42:37 -!- Oakley has joined. 12:43:15 Hey, i found a duplicate site.

I didn't know you could do that 12:47:09 seems like there's a chance that could be used for malicious purposes with odmains 12:49:18 -!- Oakley has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 12:50:48 note though that (1) the HTTP client sends the hostname to the server in a request header, and on many servers, the webserver actually looks at that and serves different pages for different domains, though this can be problematic because it can make it harder to access a webpage if the DNS server is down even if you know the IP address, 12:51:10 and (2) SSL/TSL certificates are restricted by domains, so you usually can't access a HTTPS website through just any random domain name pointed to it. 12:52:05 Oakley left. 12:52:12 however, malicious webservers do sometimes show a lookalike website on a domain and server that they control, for phishing purposes, such as a website that look like your bank's website 12:52:15 meh, we have a log 12:55:03 i don't see much potential for malicious purposes in pointing different domains to the same address, though 12:55:19 Isn't the main reason that control over esolangs.org was (maybe still is, I forgot what happened at last renewal time) unclear for a while? So it should be accessible by bare IP address, and that makes namevirtualhost shenanigans less attractive. 12:55:28 i guess i could kinda pretend to have a page i really don't, but where's the use in that 12:55:39 myname: you could serve subtly different contents :P 12:55:54 int-e: if you own the server behind the ip address, yes 12:56:13 Really, the main reason is pure laziness, AIUI nginx has to select *some* site to serve, and there's just one configured, so that's the one it serves no matter what the host is. 12:56:16 myname: All I'm saying is that there's evil beyond phishing :P 12:56:40 but the way i interpreted it was that he saw potential for malicious purposes by pointing a domain to an address that doesn't belong to you 12:56:44 and i don't see how 12:56:47 It would've taken extra work to not serve the wiki for non-esolangs.org host headers, and I'm averse to work. 12:56:49 there are like a dozen websites living from serving a reformatted mirror of en.Wikipedia, often with ads, yes 12:57:18 fizzie: I recommend that you do serve it from other host headers too 12:57:26 myname: They thought it was a clone hosted by a different party. 12:57:34 wib_jonas: well yeah, but you can't do that by just pointing a domain somewhere 12:57:52 myname: Which is why I mentioned the IP addresses :P 12:57:55 wib_jonas: I'll probably keep it the default. But I might maybe *not* serve it at some specific domain names, including techne.zem.fi. 12:58:02 sure 12:58:09 that works 12:58:15 also, there are loads of auto-translated stackoverflows and i hate them 12:58:41 auto-translated stackoverflows?

(instead of a trusted third party, a collectively trusted distributed set of 20:27:00 users could be used, but that's not relevant to what I'm about to ask.) 20:27:32 shachaf: well sure, but it's hard to find new *short* operator spellings, and you want concise syntax for this in C 20:28:02 Well, you could use ^ and then use something else for xor. 20:28:04 b_jonas: what's the reason to keep the dot 20:28:23 ah nvmd 20:28:43 what they could do instead is to make not only dereferencing a prefix, but also make subscripting and dotted member access and function call prefixes 20:29:16 or maybe not function call, only the others -- that would result in some extra parenthesis with function calls, but not too often 20:29:18 That would also work, but it'd be a bigger change. 20:29:38 that of course would have put Stroustrup in a tight place, because now you can't have method calls with the current syntax 20:31:58 So back to cryptography, is there a sort of reversed version of trusted timestamping, where the trusted authority generates a fresh random token, append a timestamp, and sign it, and then you can use the signature to prove that the key is random and there was no way for anyone to predict anything about it before that timestamp. 20:33:50 This could be made even more useful if they released such keys regularly with a small enough period, and stored them for at least a week, so you could get a token for any exact timestamp chosen in advance, and they'd also guarantee that they only generate one token for any given timestamp. 20:36:13 You could use such a service to perform an experiment or zero-knowledge proof that needs randomness, such as for sampling inputs because trying all inputs would be inefficient, publish the exact protocol and timestamp in advance, and you could prove to anyone, even to someone learning about this later, that you used a truly random seed, not a random seed that you chose to get the outcome you want, and 20:36:19 that you couldn't even retry the experiment with multiple random seeds and selectively publish the results. 20:36:51 (Technically you'd use a trusted timestamp with earlier timestamp and a trusted reverse timestamp with later timestamp in combination for this.) 20:44:25 -!- orbitaldecay has quit (Quit: ZNC 1.6.6+deb1ubuntu0.2 - http://znc.in). 20:44:58 -!- orbitaldecay has joined. 20:53:29 does this make sense, or should I give an example? 21:02:21 -!- adu has joined. 21:39:48 -!- atslash has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep). 21:47:21 -!- atslash has joined. 22:16:48 -!- tromp has joined. 22:21:37 -!- tromp has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds). 22:25:10 -!- mmmattyx has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity). 22:41:13 -!- tromp has joined. 22:56:27 -!- tromp has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 23:14:27 -!- t20kdc has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 23:47:15 -!- Arcorann_ has joined. 2020-08-28: 00:56:50 what can someone do to speed up a Thue interpreter? 00:57:01 or, I guess, rewriting in general. 00:58:55 have already tried using tries instead of doing linear matching for rules, have started using a looping queue to do rewrites in place, but I never seem to break the 10us barrier. 01:18:50 It's just an awful formalism to implement. :P 01:25:00 https://twitter.com/gro_tsen/status/1295431867026542593 01:29:30 imode: hmm so you have a particular program you're testing?

I added (very simple) clause deletion, and Luby restarts, and it actually became reasonably fast on some inputs. 04:38:06 But it sounds like your solver is way fancier and also world-famous now. 04:39:03 it's not famous at all, it's good enough to be practically useful but it's not state of the art stuff 04:39:27 but a somewhat well known rust person started using it (for some not (yet?) public project) 04:40:05 and that person seems to have quite a few followers on github, so now the traffic on my project suddenly increased 04:42:09 Aha. 04:44:12 I should get back to working on it. 04:44:23 so do I... 04:44:35 but I want to rewrite half of it... again 04:44:37 It got more fun when I stopped using random instances and started using real instances. 04:44:46 -!- Lord_of_Life_ has joined. 04:44:51 I should pick a good representative set of instances to be testing on. 04:45:37 yeah first that makes it more fun.... but then you realize you need a good way to benchmark stuff and that's another rabbit hole 04:45:54 Yes, definitely trickier than I thought. 04:46:08 -!- Lord_of_Life has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds). 04:46:08 -!- Lord_of_Life_ has changed nick to Lord_of_Life. 04:49:20 What's it being used for? 04:50:04 Or is the project unknown? 04:50:05 I wonder whether I should improve my SAT solver or try figuring out how SMT solvers work. 04:52:57 unknown, but he commented on an open issue related to timeouts and mentioned that he added cancellation from another thread and asked whether I'd be interested in merging something like that 04:53:34 where he mentioned that he's using it in an interactive setting... and IIRC he recently started working on games, so that'd be my guess 04:53:41 Aha, the Io person. 04:53:56 My friend was using a SAT solver to design levels in a puzzle game. 04:54:04 Io? 04:54:17 http://canonical.org/~kragen/raph-io.html 04:56:06 jix: For my own solver, instead of a timeout, I was thinking of adding a more iterator-like API for the solver loop. 04:56:42 Well, I guess for a SAT solver it's pretty simple, if it looks like a classic CDCL solver. 04:57:49 yeah I also thought about that, (for the same reason, it's somewhat natural given the CDCL loop), but I do want to offer convenience APIs for a) callback based termination to match the IPASIR api and b) cancellation from a different thread using an atomic bool as flag and c) timeouts without requiring a second thread 04:58:30 The loop looks like while (1) { unit_propagation(); if (conflict) { if (level == 0) return false; backtrack(); } else { if (all_assigned) return true; guess(); } }, right? 04:58:47 -!- Arcorann__ has joined. 04:58:49 Where most time is spent in unit propagation. 04:59:05 Yes, makes sense that you've had the same thought. 04:59:29 What puzzle game levels are designing by SAT solver? 04:59:30 well there are also restarts but roughly like that 04:59:31 Convenience APIs seem good to provide, but as the core API I think something like this is much nicer. 04:59:52 I was already getting into more detail than I meant to. 05:00:32 Really I should have said while (1) { /* something that takes a relatively long time */ }.

Callback APIs aren't fun when you can avoid them. 05:08:49 And you should certainly be able to, for something like this. 05:09:08 it's inteded to be easy to add to existing solvers, and callbacks make that easier 05:09:24 Fair enough. 05:09:46 for a lot of uses you don't even need any of the callback APIs though 05:10:21 Just being able to add new clauses without deleting the clause database is presumably most of the incrementality people need. 05:10:39 yeah that and solving under assumptions 05:11:14 Hmm, how do assumptions work? I guess that just means adding things to the trail? 05:11:47 yeah it's exactly just that, you fix a prefix on the trail and if you'd backtrack beyond that you return unsat (under assumptions) 05:12:13 -!- olsner has joined. 05:12:20 I was briefly wondering whether you'd learn wrong clauses that way but of course you wouldn't. 05:12:51 from the conflict analysis you do to detect that you'd backtrack beyond that you also get a subset of assumptions causing the conflict for free (which is also part of the IPASIR api) 05:13:27 Oh, that's nice. 05:13:47 [[User talk:Challenger5]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=77024&oldid=76991 * Challenger5 * (+107) 05:14:22 [[User:Challenger5]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=77025&oldid=76950 * Challenger5 * (+16) 05:14:50 Do you know if SMT solvers need more of an API than this? 05:15:12 it depends AFAIK 05:15:38 Not knowing much about what is SMT solvers, I don't know really 05:15:50 [[Aubergine]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=77026&oldid=74883 * Challenger5 * (+95) 05:16:20 you don't need more than that for CDCL(T) or for bitblasting AFAICT 05:16:58 but if you want to do eager theory propagation (not sure if that's an established term) you need a way to hook into unit propagation 05:17:13 I have no idea how much that is done or if it is important at all 05:18:16 Just a few minutes ago I found and corrected a bug in TeXnicard involving division by zero when the total available vertical space is rigid, resulting in alternating lines of text being displayed and hidden. 05:39:35 -!- tromp has joined. 05:44:42 -!- tromp has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds). 05:57:10 zzo38: Do you like SAT solvers? 06:01:11 shachaf: I do not know much about SAT solvers. 06:01:27 (If I knew, maybe I would be able to answer your other questions too, but I don't know.) 06:01:37 Do you like graph coloring solvers? 06:02:16 they are more logic solver systems than one might expect and they are competing against themselves quite regularly 06:05:13 Hmm, maybe I should actually learn about integer programming solvers. I hear they're pretty good.. 06:05:16 s/.$// 06:05:38 Plus I don't even really know about linear programming. 06:05:59 a friend of mine writes a mip solver in his spare time to optimize his factorio world 06:06:25 linear programming is not that hard, really 06:07:50 shachaf: as you already know how SAT solvers work, learning about MIP will make you annoyed that SAT solvers are bad at what MIP solvers are good at and that MIP solvers are bad at what SAT solvers are good at (well, at least it does that for me) 06:07:55 integer programms make it quite a bit harder 06:08:32 and apparently it's difficult enough to combine them in a way that gets the advantages of both 06:08:47 iirc linear programms are in P 06:08:55 jix: That was my impression. Well, I really only know one direction, in seeing some problems that MIP solvers are good at and SAT solvers are bad at. 06:09:05 But I heard it went both ways. 06:09:32 There's a lot more industrial use of MIP, I think? 06:09:58 yeah I think so 06:10:13 even for problems where SAT or SMT solvers would be better 06:10:30 that's not that surprising, SAT solvers only decide, MIP solvers optimize 06:11:10 myname: that's not really a distinction that matters though, if you can do one you can do the other, in theory as well as in practice 06:11:31 now it might be that it works in theory but is too slow in practice, but with incremental SAT solvers optimizing is also fast in practice 06:11:33 jix: well, at additional cost, yeah 06:12:34 and you have to state your problem in such a way that you can make good guesses about what change in the corresponding sat problem 06:13:18 Not having seen graph coloring solvers, I don't really know. But at least I can understand a bit of what is meant, I suppose. How difficult are they to solve, though? 06:13:49 graph coloring is NP complete 06:13:59 so i guess it's about as hard as SAT solvers 06:14:54 O, OK. 06:15:41 to be fair, a lot more work has been put into sat sovlers, I think, and polynomial time is... well theoretically not that bad but in practice it can get pretty bad 06:17:31 Well, yes, depending on the algorithm and how much data, it can be, considering, there are many kind of polynomials, some of which are big. 06:17:33 yeah, we had a lecture on algorithms to solve euclidean tsp that aren't really worth attempting with real data sets, if you could just brute-force 06:21:27 -!- adu has quit (Quit: adu). 07:01:41 -!- tromp has joined. 07:04:12 Just now I found the new documentation about the schema table for SQLite, and about the new name "sqlite_schema" instead of "sqlite_master". I knew about this before from the Fossil timeline. I am glad that "For historical reasons, callbacks from the sqlite3_set_authorizer() interface always refer to the schema table using names (1) or (3)" because that is the part that I was concerned about. 07:04:29 So, good, now my concern has been considered, so it is OK now. 07:16:53 How should I choose which learnt clauses to delete? 07:16:59 Right now I just delete the longest ones. 07:17:11 Also, how should I store watch lists? 07:32:41 Unfortunately, I don't know. Hopefully, we can learn which way is good. 07:49:57 shachaf: the classic approach (used by minisat and probably solvers before it) uses clause activities, glucose added LBDs (aka as clause glues or glue levels) as a metric for that, chanseok oh's solvers added a strategy that partitions learned clauses into 3 tiers and uses activities and LBDs and whether they've been part of a conflict recently (IIRC it's been a time) and that's the state of the 07:49:59 art unless something changed in the past 1.5 years 08:10:26 -!- hendursa1 has joined. 08:12:23 -!- hendursaga has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 08:38:26 [[,,,]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=77027&oldid=77004 * SunnyMoon * (-46) I am going to talk about this later. 08:39:36 [[,,,]] M https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=77028&oldid=77027 * SunnyMoon * (-83) And this too. 09:10:43 -!- b_jonas has quit (Quit: leaving). 09:12:25 -!- Sgeo_ has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 09:18:25 -!- imode has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 09:30:07 [[,,,]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=77029&oldid=77028 * SunnyMoon * (+490) Introducing IO! 09:52:33 -!- S_Gautam has joined. 10:15:20 -!- wib_jonas has joined. 10:16:08 spruit: what does "non-monadic" mean in that context? 10:26:32 -!- hendursa1 has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 10:26:59 -!- hendursaga has joined. 10:31:49 wth just how many ways can you spell fairy in English?

So the 'standard' Haskell short definition of a prime sieve doesn't work. 19:38:19 There are ways to deal with that.

If you want it. 19:58:32 If you have any other possible solutions I would be very interested. 20:00:12 sure, but just the monad interface isn't really enough here 20:00:50 and I don't even see why it would really help much 20:01:34 the (>>=) method for lists is mapConcat, but you just need a filter, which is a special case of that, plus you need to iterate on the list of divisors and stop when they grow too large, for which monads don't really help 20:02:50 Looks like we have tangent thoughts on this. 20:04:51 [[Talk:Truth-machine]] https://esolangs.org/w/index.php?diff=77066&oldid=38410 * SunnyMoon * (+315) /* Is it possible to add "psuedo-truth-machines"? */ new section 20:07:34 yeah, ideally I should try to read your code and write the sieve with lazy lists like I thought, to make this clearer, but right now I'm busy with some stupid webpage 20:08:25 it's a webpage where I ordered something and want to order more, but I'm trying to write a userstyle to make the important control link visible, it's currently hidden by some stupid HTML+CSS thing that sets a height too small 20:08:45 and no, changing the height isn't enough, because then it overlaps something else 20:09:49 I don't understand why this user CSS rule doesn't match this element 20:11:15 Did you check its effects in the inspector?
