00:03:27 <SimonRC> I fixed the problem thus:
00:03:29 <SimonRC> : /mod swap /mod ; \ fucking committees
00:04:12 <oerjan> that doesn't recurse?

00:04:39 <SimonRC> oerjan: no
00:05:07 <SimonRC> oops
00:05:39 <SimonRC> I meant : /mod /mod swap ; \ fucking committees
00:06:07 <oerjan> so if : is like scheme let, does forth have something corresponding to letrec?
00:06:22 <SimonRC> not easily
00:06:53 <SimonRC> you have hooks, which are a kind of forward definition
00:07:33 <SimonRC> you don't really need it much, for the same reason you don't need package/module cycles much in other languages

00:53:19 * SimonRC just got project euler #12 to run in a sensible amount of time
00:53:38 <SimonRC> my initial approach was totally DOOMED given the size of the answer
00:54:05 <SimonRC> my initial approach was O(n ^ ohshit)
00:54:54 <SimonRC> then inspiration struck and I realised I was wasting loads of effort
00:56:14 <SimonRC> I solved it with a non-allocating forth program 8 lines long
00:56:32 <SimonRC> and TBH, there are like 4 lines that do work in there
00:58:19 <SimonRC> actually, 8 lines is about as short as I can get it nicely
00:59:00 <SimonRC> yay fun!

07:54:09 <fizzie> For "explicit" recursion, when you need it, there's also the "recurse" word, that recursively calls the word you're defining.
07:56:11 <AnMaster> fizzie, language?
07:56:53 <fizzie> Forth; this was a direct continuation of what's before the splittery-looking thing.
07:57:22 <AnMaster> fizzie, ah, well I was on the wrong side of the split
07:57:31 <AnMaster> it didn't just look like a split, it was one
07:57:36 <fizzie> But this was before the split.

10:21:39 <oklokok> confirmation plz
10:22:44 <oklokok> also cool how he was too lazy to redraw the lips, just moved them and kept them in the same position when she opened her moutg
10:22:45 <oklokok> *mouth
10:23:01 <oklokok> err not same position, more like same angle

21:09:06 <AnMaster> ais523, you know you talked about MySQL analyse vs. analyze?
21:09:14 <ais523> yes
21:09:50 <AnMaster> ais523, it seems that postgresql accepts both, but only the American spelling is documented
21:09:57 <ais523> heh
21:10:03 <AnMaster> at least for VACUUM ANALYZE
21:10:14 * AnMaster goes to try ANALYSE on it's own
21:10:27 <AnMaster> yeah both spellings work there too
21:18:15 <AnMaster> Version 8.4.1-1~jaunty1:
21:18:15 <AnMaster> * Automated backport upload; no source changes.
21:18:21 <AnMaster> ais523, does that make any sense to you?
21:18:39 <ais523> yep, that happens a lot
21:18:43 <ais523> they're just fixing up dependencies
21:18:48 <AnMaster> oh
21:19:09 <AnMaster> ais523, any idea why postgresql package would auto-hold without me telling it to?
21:19:19 <ais523> hmm... actually, is that the message when they've tested something already in lucid and are just copying it to karmic-proposed?
21:19:37 <ais523> as for the auto-hold, it's a dependency problem
21:19:37 <AnMaster> it is listed as "backport"
21:19:43 <AnMaster> ais523, uh uh
21:19:46 <ais523> i.e. it depends on things that conflict with what you have atm
21:19:51 <ais523> normally that's fixed eventually
21:19:56 <AnMaster> how do I fix it with the limited tools available
21:20:01 <ais523> you don't, you just wait
21:20:12 <AnMaster> oh wait, they backported 8.4 instead of 8.3
21:20:13 <AnMaster> gah
21:20:14 <ais523> the problem's there for everyone, in a non-stable version it happens from time to time
21:20:28 <AnMaster> ais523, I'm running jaunty. it's stable
21:20:44 <ais523> hmm
21:20:56 <ais523> that shouldn't be happening, are you sure you aren't running -proposed?
21:21:02 <AnMaster> and now libpq5 is listed there too
21:21:05 <ais523> btw, avoid karmic, it feels rather buggy atm
21:21:07 <AnMaster> ais523, 100% sure
21:21:12 <AnMaster> I'm on jaunty
21:21:27 <AnMaster> ais523, did you make any progress with the fsck bug?
21:21:38 <ais523> not yet
21:22:51 -!- MigoMipo has quit.
21:23:51 <AnMaster> ais523, this upgrade to 8.4 from 8.3 should not be happening of postgresql in januty
21:23:56 <AnMaster> the upgrade is non-trivial
21:24:06 <AnMaster> requiring user to dump everything first and then re-import it
21:24:12 <ais523> AnMaster: check software sources, to see which repos are set
21:24:22 <AnMaster> ais523, /etc/apt/?
21:24:50 <ais523> AnMaster: no, via the menus
21:24:58 <ais523> settings | administration | software sources
21:25:03 <AnMaster> ais523, why, that takes a lot longer...
21:25:17 <ais523> because I don't know where the actual file is
21:25:27 <ais523> and also, because the GUI explains what repos you're running in a much clearer way
21:25:37 <AnMaster> also it shows a dumbed down GUI where you can't really see the details
21:25:55 <AnMaster> ais523, it is /etc/apt/sources.list
21:26:25 <AnMaster> ais523, and that shows I selected: main, universe, restricted, multiverse
21:26:36 <AnMaster> and there is a - instead of and x for the "source" box
21:26:55 <AnMaster> it says it should fetch from http://ftp.df.lth.se/ubuntu
21:26:55 <ais523> AnMaster: that's the wrong question, the GUI shows whether you're running stable, proposed, backports
21:27:10 <AnMaster> ais523, hm?
21:27:15 <AnMaster> I looked where you said
21:27:32 <AnMaster> ais523, it doesn't say what you mentioned to me
21:27:37 <ais523> well, one of the tabs, there's a checkbox for running -proposed or not
21:27:54 <AnMaster> ais523, oh and there are the debugging symbol repos on the "third party" tab.
21:28:15 <ais523> AnMaster: how up to date are those? I wouldn't be surprised if they were following -proposed not stable
21:28:22 <AnMaster> ais523, you mean the one that has jaunty-security, jaunty-updates and jaunty-backports checked?
21:28:37 <AnMaster> jaunty-proposed isn't checked
21:28:44 <ais523> AnMaster: ah, ok, that's what I was trying to ask
21:28:52 <AnMaster> ais523, well since there is one debugging symbol repo per each of the main ones
21:28:52 <ais523> the postgres upgrade might be -updates, I suppose
21:28:59 <AnMaster> I would assume it tracks the relevant one
21:29:00 <AnMaster> as in
21:29:01 <ais523> or -backports
21:29:04 <ais523> AnMaster: ah, ok
21:29:08 <AnMaster> deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com jaunty main restricted universe multiverse
21:29:08 <AnMaster> deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com jaunty-updates main restricted universe multiverse
21:29:08 <AnMaster> deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com jaunty-security main restricted universe multiverse
21:29:13 <AnMaster> are the ones in the sources.list
21:29:15 <AnMaster> easier to copy
21:29:47 <AnMaster> ais523, anyway the postgresql one is *backports*
21:29:56 <AnMaster> as far as I can tell
21:29:56 <ais523> well, you can expect backports to increase versions
21:29:59 <ais523> that's what that means
21:30:08 <AnMaster> ais523, yeah but why break the deps then
21:30:14 <ais523> it means you get versions of software that had a version-bump in later versions
21:30:29 <AnMaster> ais523, not all such software though?
21:30:44 <ais523> and probably, because the new version is unacceptable for some older software you have installed that isn't getting updated at the same time
21:31:15 <AnMaster> ais523, also 8.4 been out for some time now
21:31:30 <AnMaster> since May or so iirc
21:31:34 <AnMaster> maybe June
21:31:47 <AnMaster> ah no, July it seems

21:55:36 <AnMaster> the rc
21:55:38 <AnMaster> rather than ii
21:55:47 <AnMaster> from dpkg -l output
21:56:01 <ais523> I don't know
21:56:05 <ais523> oh, I do
21:56:07 <ais523> residual config
21:56:13 <ais523> not installed, but it didn't delete the config files
21:56:19 <ais523> so that it'll be configured the same way if it's reinstalled
21:56:30 <ais523> it's the usual method of uninstalling something
21:56:40 <AnMaster> well apt-get purge postgresql-8.3 tells me:
21:56:43 <AnMaster> Package postgresql-8.3 is not installed, so not removed
21:56:52 <AnMaster> so that seems wrong
21:57:02 <AnMaster> ais523, no?
21:57:24 <ais523> yes, it should have removed the config
21:57:30 <ais523> is it still marked as residual config?
21:57:34 <AnMaster> ais523, yes it is
22:00:14 <AnMaster> ais523, any idea what to do next?

22:56:20 <AnMaster> fizzie, worked
22:58:41 <fizzie> I'm guessing apt-get parses "purge foo" as "remove --purge foo" (those are listed as equivalent), and then the main "remove" command refuses to do anything since the package isn't really installed, it just has those leftover config files.
23:01:56 <AnMaster> fizzie, purge usually works when there is left around configs
