(I happened to be reading the same bit of news at the same time.) 09:16:04 all of these just to reduce angular momentum by itself? 09:16:22 shorter days implies a faster angular momentum 09:16:33 although it could also happen due to a change in rotation speed around the sun 09:17:53 i mean reduce moment of inertia 09:18:04 ah, apparently it sped up because the Earth became denser towards the centre and less dense towards the crust as a result 09:19:05 The news article I happened to be reading does note something vague about there being regular larger changes in day-length "due to other causes, such as atmospheric mass moving around on Earth". 09:19:35 tidal forces apparently have the largest day-to-day effect 09:19:52 it apparently takes 100 days of the Moon going round in circles to produce a similarly-sized change to the earthquake 09:20:22 Yes.

I believe it's still minimal, yet powerful. 09:57:12 have you seen Modular SNUSP? 09:58:02 http://esolangs.org/wiki/SNUSP 09:58:07 it might be interesting to look at for ideas 09:58:13 we should just compile LLVM bitcode to BF; at that point you're golden 10:01:11 Interesting. 10:02:19 You know what? I've yet to see a BF derivative implement C-compliant functions with stack support. 10:02:23 Maybe Crainfuck. 10:03:11 I have seen that 10:03:26 you just host brainfuck inside C 10:03:42 I think LLVM -> BF would be the crowning moment in esoteric glory. 10:03:44 then you can use whichever is most appropriate for the task 10:07:16 -!- dev_squid has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds). 10:27:46 jesus fucking christ 10:27:54 hi augur 10:27:55 wipeout fusion's tethys league is impossible 10:28:07 are you feeling wiped out by it? 10:28:29 im feeling pissed is what im feeling 10:28:38 i feel like the computer is cheating 10:30:13 you have turned me into jesus 10:40:21 what XD 10:41:53 :) 10:44:01 -!- Gregor has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds). 11:08:37 -!- alise has joined. 11:10:36 Bleh. I'm all uncomfortable. 11:11:12 scarf: "If it's Normish-related, abandon it" -- uorygl 11:11:24 sure am glad I didn't rely on it for anything serious :^) 11:11:26 ugh 11:11:45 01:13:44 days are now 1.26 µs shorter than they were before 11:11:45 01:14:42 And that tsunami quake few years ago shortened them by 6.8 µs. (I happened to be reading the same bit of news at the same time.) 11:11:45 wow 11:11:47 and I operate under the assumption that Normish is likely to go offline at any moment 11:11:58 20:40:40 What's your important project? 11:11:58 20:41:01 It's "classified" 11:11:58 20:41:05 Oh. 11:11:59 20:41:13 Which means I've been talking about it here incessantly 11:11:59 20:41:46 lol 11:11:59 20:41:50 If it's Normish-related, abandon it and join #sxmc so you can help me with my... also classified project. 11:12:02 So it's not quite Normish-is-over. 11:12:08 But it's obviously I-have-a-shiny-new-project-now-Normish-sux. 11:12:29 normish, in the end, effectively became a server for helping with nomic things 11:12:36 it hosts loggic and blognomicbot, for instance 11:12:54 over ten years the difference in earth's rotation 11:12:57 we'll have lost 0.08ms 11:13:24 blognomicbot? 11:13:38 alise: a bot that hangs out in BlogNomic's IRC channel 11:13:43 Doing? 11:13:58 mostly for doing ChanServ duties when ChanServ goes insane, but it also counts votes, and copies the topic and user list to the blognomic server 11:14:36 also, prevents the channel being dropped due to lack of active ops) 11:14:39 s/\)// 11:15:07 counts votes on what? like !voteon Excellence mogriband? 11:15:30 also, as you know the entirety of my current situation - do you think it's irresponsible to reregister for Agora? As in, for who-knows-what-will-happen reasons. 11:15:45 I find it quite likely that the unit is not over yet. 11:16:10 alise: once a week should probably be enough, although it's not quick enough to catch without-objection 11:16:25 however, given that contracts were repealed, you can normally rely on someone else to object for you 11:16:39 Ah, I just meant as in neglecting any obligations or whatever 11:16:52 you can avoid taking on obligations that you can't fulfil easily enough 11:17:09 I don't particularly want to play if I'm still fighting the unit, so I'd probably inactivate if it starts again. 11:17:12 Is the point. 11:17:57 it's pretty quiet atm 11:18:16 we repealed most of the interesting rules, presumably this would be a good time to create more 11:18:31 although there's been an intriguing discussion about whether the IBA still exists, given that contracts have been repealed 11:18:44 Well, if there's nothing interesting to do... 11:19:09 What's RtRW? 11:19:46 read the ruleset week, first week of february 11:20:19 ah 11:20:25 * alise sees a genius idea on reddit 11:20:34 if a government has national debt, they should just bail themselves out 11:20:44 o_o 11:20:51 :D 11:21:35 and charge interest! 11:25:09 has agora been without contracts before? 11:25:14 I'm pretty sure they've been around for almost all time... 11:25:20 (that is, after their first introduction) 11:26:34 no idea; I wonder if they were continuously there between the whole SLC mess (years ago) and modern contracts? 11:29:48 SLC mess? Haven't heard of that one. 11:29:58 scarf: Regardless, I doubt it's been without them for more than weeks before. 11:30:04 They've been the backbone of Agora for how long? 11:30:20 the power system has been the backbone ever since it was invented 11:30:30 contracts have just been a fun thing to mess around with 11:30:33 Nah, that's just a safeguard. 11:30:41 The actual non-nomic gameplay, I mean. 11:30:46 (Most people like that stuff.) 11:38:07 scarf: Logicnomic! 11:38:14
