Bell's classic work is once again safe on my shelves 00:35:20 well i _have_ been up night a lot... 00:36:02 hm that name rings a *hit by falling anvil* 00:36:11 haha 00:37:26 so far as i can tell, its been established for a long time that informational entropy and physical entropy are in fact the exact same thing, but lots of people are still scared to say so or seem to think the matter is unclear 00:39:13 whoa, the wikipedia entropy article has been massively rewritten, its much better now - so of course it has tags saying its worse 00:39:41 well that article can only get worse, naturally 00:39:45 * oerjan ducks 00:40:09 unless we attach a good heat sink to it! 00:40:24 Oh, re: R6RS pairs being immutable - pairs are mutable, but set-car!/cdr! are in a separate library and there's a big honking fat "DO NOT USE" on 'em. 00:41:12 do it anyway just to be a rebel 00:41:47 "You know one neato idea that Perl hasn't borrowed: not being a giant pile of half digested crap." — reddit troll 00:42:04 (Immediately following, similarly hilarious sentence: "The language doesn't even have named arguments and it treats arrays as weird lumps of memory that aren't even first class.") 00:43:23 dammit, the wikipedia article still has this garbage in it: The question of the link between information entropy and thermodynamic entropy is a hotly debated topic. Some authors argue that there is a link between the two,[39][40][41] while others will argue that they have absolutely nothing to do with each other.[42] 00:43:42 mycroftiv: would you prefer wikipedia denied that there's any controversy at all? 00:44:12 You appear to have a problem of distinguishing "I strongly hold this to be true" with "Every material should treat this as true and never question it or even mention any questionings of it" 00:44:18 s/with/from/ 00:44:51 ehird: the article contradicts itself unfortunately...because earlier and later in the article it states their equivalence...so it should really be one way or another, shouldnt it? 00:45:21 mycroftiv: "X and Y are equivalent" and then "Whether X and Y are equivalent is controversial" are not contradictory 00:45:35 Although I suspect the former is more like "X and Y are generally accepted to be equivalent" 00:45:41 Which makes them even less contradictory 00:45:50 Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a list of facts 00:46:24 anyway, the point is that the article is disorganized and makes 'weasel worded' statements like that when it should just cover the material 00:47:05 the citation [42] is also being abused, it doesnt deny the equivalence, instead it makes the claim that they should be treated as *semantically* distinct 00:47:08 See, "just covering the material" isn't the same as conveniently not mentioning any controversy 00:47:13 mycroftiv: Fine, it may be a bad line 00:47:14 Remove it then 00:47:19 i want it do *more* than just mention the controversy 00:47:26 I'm just saying that the reasons you objected to are bad 00:48:13 i object to that line because it doesnt provide information and id say its basically misleading - there is other good information in the article, and that section should focus on it - i *agree* there is a huge controversy! 00:48:23 right, then :P 00:48:27 but that's not really what you said 00:49:01 i started out by saying 'lots of people are still scared to say so or seem to think the matter is still unclear' 00:49:41 i want the wikipedia article to act to clarify the confusion with good solid sourced information as vetted by a presumably expert community 00:50:22 im not expert enough personally to try to clean it up 00:50:56 if only experts could edit wikipedia articles, well (a) it'd be citizendium and suck and (b) there'd be less drama but (c) a lot more cocksucking 00:51:05 and (d) some more crappage 00:51:19 did i mention it'd be rubbish./ 00:51:24 *without the / 00:51:49 no, only with the / 00:52:11 No, with OR without the / 00:52:13 i edit wikipedia frequently, but part of being a good editor is knowing when you arent quite good enough for a given topic 00:54:24 i read the wikipedia entropy related articles quite a bit and they are generally solid, but they are mostly written (i presume) by students and arent quite up to the standard of the treatment of the subject in books written by experts, it would be nice to get them there 00:57:02 the thing that makes me so angry about wikipedia is all the editors who totally ignore the examples of previous encyclopedias in making up tons of absurd rules 00:57:21 -!- FireFly has quit ("Later"). 00:57:25 for instance, the music theory essays in the encyclopedia britannica 1912 edition were by donald francis tovey, and are total masterpieces 00:57:46 old britannicas suck so much. no ctrl-f! 00:57:49 but they would be angrily rejected by tons of current wikipedia editors as 'non-encyclopedic' and 'like a personal essay' etc 00:57:56 if someone's HTMLed an old britannica that'd be neat 00:58:12 that 1912 britannica actually got folded into wikipedia several years ago 00:58:22 it formed the core of a lot of the 'generic info' 00:59:27 wait, it was 1911 edition, off by a year 01:00:06 yes, but then modified and stufjkflgl;j 01:00:15 yeah 01:00:34 because the interesting thing is that the 1911 brittanica contradicts a lot of the wikipedia 'rules' that the rule-crazed people love 01:00:51 it has a ton of POV essays written by experts in their field, basically 01:01:01 such as the Donald Francis Tovey music theory essays i love so much 01:04:04 nothing stirs a conversation up like old D.F.

15:39:17 but, because all programs either halt or not, that does prove all bf programs that halt can be compiled to your language, there's just no algorithm to do it. 15:39:35 i mean... that doesn't prove such an algo exists, naturally one does 15:39:36 well 15:39:42 because you can extend by need 15:39:46 well 15:39:57 thats the main problem 15:40:03 counting how many cells did a program use 15:40:11 That'd require to interpret the whole program 15:40:13 :/ 15:40:14 this is a very subtle and interesting issue, don't try to understand it 15:40:21 yeah 15:40:28 so i should just know what of it 15:40:33 is my language TC?

15:41:34 to add a cell ONLY if it's the last cell 15:41:36 you just wrap around if you go out of it 15:41:55 that's the problem 15:42:05 the problem of Bafie 15:42:25 well it was designed to wrap the tape around AND make it of definable size 15:42:31 that would be the boring way out of it 15:42:42 well 15:42:55 the design means that it can't create a new cell if you're out of the tape either 15:42:59 It would need to alert you somehow 15:43:00 -!- CESSMASTER has joined. 15:43:05 Also i don't want it to stop execution 15:43:16 the "more interesting" one (or maybe just more tedious) is to keep the index you're at, currently, and the size of memory allocated, always with you 15:43:28 well 15:43:41 The interpreter can by default only read values 000-444 (base 5) 15:43:44 or 0-124 (base 10) 15:43:53 by having the tape contain actual data in every second cell, and in the other cells, carry around these indices 15:44:01 hmm 15:44:16 well 15:44:25 I could add a command to output the index of the cell you're at into the current cell 15:44:28 but that's useless :P 15:44:37 also damages data 15:45:02 you should probably just leave this issue for now, and say "it's probably TC" :P 15:45:03 asiekierka, reminds me of my RinGy language 15:45:25 actually no 15:45:29 i will try to find it out 15:45:35 go ahead 15:45:37 Memory is originally finite, _ inserts a blank memory set to 0 15:45:38 Well, BF doesn't tell you about it either 15:45:46 where you are 15:45:52 and the size is also undefined 15:45:56 defined by the interpreter 15:46:03 i'm assuming bf with infinite memory 15:46:17 -!- coppro has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)). 15:46:18 oh THAT 15:46:18 otherwise bf is a trivial language 15:46:24 i mean, mathematically 15:46:37 you can just list all programs and their outputs, and run them in constant time :) 15:46:38 I could have an extra command 15:46:59 i've turned into a mathematician :< 15:47:04 <...> - if the (index%125) doesnt match up with the current register's value, do ... 15:47:08 well, gotta go read number theory -> 15:47:15 and not help me?

I see 17:35:22 and some actually are more difficult than others 17:35:47 I have tried to program in Java (my first programming language) but I find it difficult 17:35:51 Why might this be? Am I stupid? 17:36:05 no, it's because Java is really obnoxious 17:36:37 for a beginner, java is a horrible choice, imo 17:36:40 I hear this from many experienced programmers; java is awful etc. Not a good first language. 17:36:59 Which languages are considered good for a beginner? 17:37:11 i would consider python 17:37:12 oklofok: let's say, I know someone else whose first language was Java, and they ended up awful at programming 17:37:32 and yes, I was thinking Python too; although there's lots I don't like about it, it's OK for a beginner 17:37:50 BASIC's good if you don't want to be demoralized, although it's less good for actual learning 17:38:12 with java, you never start "thinking in programming", because you're first instinct when you see a problem isn't to quickly code it up, or at least quickly think of a solution in your head 17:38:16 because it's a verbose language 17:38:22 Python is a all-around good language. Flawed, but it doesn't do anything actually *horribly*. 17:38:41 *your first 17:38:44 another advantage of Python is that it is at least easy to read 17:40:29 I enjoy programming in Java at times, but it seems like a lot of effort to to accomplish minor tasks. I have two large half-read Java books gathering dust, so should I start learning Python to get back some of my motivation? Thanks for answering my questions oklofok, ais523, pikhq 17:40:44 hi 17:40:49 hi 17:41:34 Definitely learn Python. One of the things it definitely gets right is that it's easy to do minor tasks in it. 17:41:44 lot of effort for minor tasks, and most of all lots of effort to build a good abstraction, although that's true for most OO, i guess. 17:41:55 (this feature makes any language much easier to learn) 17:45:49 Thank you! :) 17:47:21 where does sudo store the needed info for the "don't have to enter password again if you recently used sudo in the same terminal" thingy 17:47:35 (for some reason it doesn't work between different terminal tabs for me *shrug*) 17:47:58 AnMaster: /var/run/sudo 17:48:20 ais523, hm empty but ok 17:48:42 the GUI versions of sudo tend to use daemons, to avoid writing anything to disk 17:49:07 ok that directory contains a directory with the user name, which contains three empty files: 0 1 unknown 17:49:08 huh 17:50:15 maybe the timestamps of the files are relevant? 17:51:14 hm maybe 17:51:20 seems like a weird way to store it 17:55:04 -!- Libertine has quit. 18:02:35 I don't understand screen dimming timeout on my laptop... 18:03:00 sometimes it dims after about a minute inactive, sometimes it is about half a minute, sometimes closer to 5 minutes 18:03:09 all during the same session... and on AC... 18:31:49 I wish there was an esolang that can do 3d rendering 18:32:15 asiekierka: Deltaplex 18:39:31 Is there an esolang that never says/returns the truth? 18:39:50 what do you mean 18:40:54 for example 18:40:55 for 2+2 18:40:57 it returns any value 18:40:58 but not 4 18:41:10 if you want it to print "Hello, world!" 18:41:15 it saying anything EXCEPT "Hello, world!" 18:41:20 prints* 18:41:27 If you want it to lie 18:41:30 the program ends 19:42:24 -!- puzzlet has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)). 19:42:29 ais523, what about sadol 19:42:35 iirc there is a raytracer in it? 19:42:48 AnMaster: Deltaplex has primitives for 3D graphics, though 19:42:51 so likely is better for it 19:42:55 ais523, using opengl? 19:43:27 AnMaster: I think so 19:43:29 -!- puzzlet has joined. 19:43:38 asiekierka, anyway, all tc languages can render 3D graphics, for example I could imagine a bf render.bf < input > output 19:43:41 or similar 19:43:46 that outputs a ppm or even png 19:43:53 though png seems overkill 19:44:10 and iirc ppm is a trivially simple format 19:46:43 -!- ais523 has quit (Remote closed the connection). 20:01:23 It's just ascii-texty; Windows bitmaps aren't much more complicated.

Calling SetThreadExecutionState(ES_DISPLAY_REQUIRED), is how a program says, "Even though there is no mouse or keyboard input, the screen is indeed in use, so don't blank it or start the screen saver."
