Presumably you can gain root somehow as an android user 16:01:04 and then you could presumably do about anything on the phone 16:01:40 AnMaster: You have to jailbreak it to get root, as far as I know, and they keep trying to block that. Of course they'll never succeed, but it's still not quite as officially supported. 16:03:32 Anyway, sure, you can probably call any system libraries in there, but you wouldn't have the headers or a clue about the data structures and such. Of course with a bit of reverse-engineering. 16:03:59 which phone are you discussing? 16:04:37 Well, "a generic Android phone". The Dev Phone's very jailbroken as it comes, and maybe some others too. 16:05:11 I just have gotten the impression that most phone manufacturers still for some reason try to discourage that sort of stuff, with a marked lack of success. 16:05:23 AFAIK Android doesn't try very hard not to be jailbroken, making the term 'jailbreak' a bit nonsense. 16:06:15 Gregor: Well, for the G1 phone they did fix ways-to-get-root-on-the-device-as-a-normal-user by firmware updates for a while. Maybe they've given up now, though. 16:07:59 It's officially supported on the Nexus One, right? 16:08:04 Just it voids the warantee 16:09:40 I'm not sure you can call that "officially supported", but admittedly they don't exactly seem to be trying to prevent it. 16:09:45 "Users are able to gain root privileges on the device by unlocking its bootloader using the fastboot command "fastboot oem unlock."[46] Unlocking the bootloader allows the user to install other firmware images that give the user root access." 16:10:41 Medding with some unofficial firmware upgrade does sound a bit more of a hassle than how it goes with Maemo. 16:13:21 what just happened 16:13:28 somehow the theme on the desktop changed 16:13:28 wth 16:13:30 Also the CyanogenMod wp page says of phone-rooting that "These modifications are unnecessary for certain handsets specifically designated for development, such as the Android Dev Phone and the Nexus One, which include an unlocked bootloader", which seems to imply that other manufacturers' handsets try harder. 16:13:32 [1098960.847629] gnome-settings-[2390]: segfault at 8 ip 00007f71cc35cd6b sp 00007fff3498eb80 error 4 in libclipboard.so[7f71cc35a000+5000] 16:13:34 wonderful 16:13:55 starting it again helped 16:14:21 AnMaster: "gnome-settings-" is nice, though perhaps "gnome-settings-(null)" would've been even more impressive. 16:14:31 fizzie, heh? 16:14:48 fizzie, I think that pid is part of the name there? 16:15:13 Isn't the usual format "procname[pid]", and I guess it's gnome-settings-daemon that died? 16:15:38 fizzie, also it didn't fix it completely.

Also, I should probably learn Java anyway 16:57:28 nothing wrong with goto 16:57:33 Another job-ready language can't hurt 16:57:40 Sgeo_: no, you shouldn't 16:57:41 you really shouldn't 16:57:51 pikhq, I noticed that 16:58:04 pikhq, especially GCC's goto extensions 16:58:06 Sgeo_: you don't want that kind of job 16:58:06 anonymous inner classes do help ease the pain a little 16:58:09 AnMaster: Well, how *else* are you supposed to implement threaded code? :) 16:58:18 pikhq, in asm? 16:58:28 Somewhat portably? 16:58:44 pikhq, sec, will find a link 16:58:57 pikhq: setjmp! 16:59:02 pikhq, http://www.forthfreak.net/index.cgi?StringThreadedCode 16:59:05 It doesn't run on multiple architectures so bite my ass. 16:59:19 /officially/, you can't use it for that, but it can be abused to do that in ways that work on most architectures 16:59:26 It's.. odd how .. universal.. Barcode Scanner is 16:59:37 Sgeo_: wut 16:59:39 I love forth 16:59:40 ais523: Only lets you jump up the stack, or maybe down if you're careful not to overwrite the stack frame. 17:00:05 pikhq: the trick is, you make two completely different stacks, and use a few OS-dependent tricks in order to make them both legit as stacks 17:00:10 then you use setjmp to jump between them 17:00:11 alise, several sites, including AndroidZoom.com, and the Android reddit, make use of QR codes, to be read by Barcode Scanner 17:00:20 this is ofc completely against the C standard, but who cares, this is #esoteric 17:00:22 ur a barcode scanner 17:00:28 ooh I wonder if you could do threaded code with getcontext()/setcontext()? 17:00:30 ais523: So what you're really saying is getcontext and setcontext. 17:00:35 _somehow_ 17:00:39 pikhq: but that's /boring/ 17:00:44 ais523: "This violates several international laws, but who cares, this is #esoteric" 17:00:48 It's the same thing. 17:00:58 And just as much of a pain! 17:01:01 alise: surely the C standard isn't /that/ binding 17:01:11 ais523: Merely a hypothetical situation 17:01:17 it's more along the lines of "the documentation says that trying that will probably make it break, but who cares, this is #esoteric" 17:01:22 But, getcontext et al are at least part of *a* standard. 17:01:31 pikhq, no longer 17:01:32 iirc 17:01:40 they were dropped in POSIX.1-2008 17:01:41 it's not a case of "doing this violates your duty to someone else", but "doing this means you can't rely on other people's promises to you" 17:01:48 AnMaster: The previous versions of standards do not cease to exist. 17:02:08 pikhq, they are marked as archived in ieeexplorer at least to me 17:02:09 when I check 17:02:19 but so is the current one huh 17:02:23 so I guess that means nothing 17:02:27 They. Do. Not. Cease. To. Exist. 17:02:29 ;) 17:02:35 wtf, Flash CS5 will export to HTML5 Canvas+JavaScript 17:02:37 well true 17:02:41 interesting 17:02:49 pikhq: course they do, the new standard says so 17:02:56 ais523: Bah. 17:02:57 that + dissing on apple's ridiculous policies... are they trying to jump out of the evil ditch? 17:03:07 pikhq: and that has the full force of international law 17:03:22 It has the full force of REALITY 17:03:23 alise: my impression from Adobe is not that they're evil through choice, just really incompetent 17:03:27 ais523: No it doesn't. 17:03:39 Standards organizations are not international law. 17:03:46 You cannot be tried in the Hague for violating them. 17:03:48 Or are they? 17:04:10 If they were, POSIX itself would be tried. 17:04:30 for crimes against humanity? 17:04:35 or at least the computer-using portion of it? 17:04:40 Sure. 17:05:02 hey, computers use other computers too 17:05:07 they suffer as well 17:05:24 alise: yes, but AFAIK torturing a computer is not currently illegal, a lamentable lack in our current legal systems 17:06:03 "Hi, EDWRD; you get to brute-force Malbolge programs all day. And night. 17:06:04 " 17:06:12 "That violates my rights!" "You don't have any." 17:06:49 * Sgeo_ is confident that he'll survive Java 17:07:12 Sgeo is so naive. 17:07:20 I can survive LSL 17:07:31 Java can't be that much worse 17:07:42 sorry, *naïve 17:07:47 LSL? 17:07:56 And if I bend good design a little, and use the this thing for callbacks, it will be roughly on-par with LSL 17:08:03 what is LSL? 17:08:05 AnMaster, the language used by Second Life scripts 17:08:07 ouch 17:08:15 should have known it was something like that 17:08:20 when it was Sgeo_ mentioning it 17:08:29 anyway, Java's major advantage - and major issue - is taking good practices to a degree sufficiently insane that they become bad practices 17:08:57 Also, the belief that verbosity is good. 17:09:04 ais523, how can that be an advantage at all? 17:09:09 pikhq: I think it's more a belief that consistency is good 17:09:10 * alise leaks pus 17:09:17 AnMaster: because it makes it considerably harder to write bad code 17:09:23 yes, it can be done, and frequently is 17:09:24 hah 17:09:44 new CallBacker() { public void callBack() { ... } } 17:09:48 but if I needed a team of idiots to write code, I'd probably get them to do it in Java on the basis that the resulting code might have a chance of being usable or at least debuggable 17:09:50 ^ This... Is lambda. 17:09:51 ais523, does java one-liners exist at all? 17:09:54 They use it commonly. 17:09:57 AnMaster: sure, just remove all the newlines 17:10:05 pikhq: err, why not use Runnable for that 17:10:08 pikhq: except it cannot access non-final variables from the outside 17:10:08 ais523, well reasonably unreadable ones 17:10:10 after all, it /exists/ for that purpose 17:10:23 Runnable? 17:10:26 alise: Ah, right. Need to manually add variables to the closure. 17:10:26 I once did hello world in java using structs and static initialisers 17:10:29 It was beautiful 17:10:35 Shorter than the regular class version 17:10:40 Sgeo_: exactly what pikhq does, but standard rather than reinventing the wheel 17:11:06 Also, what about making the calling class implement the interface, and calling the function with this? 17:11:12 Or is that really bad practice? 17:11:18 yes 17:11:28 Sgeo_: it prevents you doing it more than once 17:11:40 ais523: I'm not a Java programmer. 17:11:44 ais523, you just invented singleton design pattern or something 17:11:53 AnMaster: no, that's something entirely different 17:11:53 (possibly broken) 17:12:02 Unless you're careful and have a member of the class tracking which case you're .. hm, LSL rotted my mind 17:12:18 what Sgeo_ suggested was along the lines of using global variables, except locally rather than globally, but still with most of the disadvantages of global variables 17:12:20 That I'd even think that that's acceptable 17:12:22 ais523, I know what singleton is, I just have no clue about java. But "it prevents you doing it more than once" sounds like part of singleton to me ;P 17:12:33 AnMaster: no, a singleton object is an object you only have one of 17:12:37 LSL and global variables. Two horrible tastes that just can't be separated 17:12:40 That's the problem 17:12:43 that's entirely different from a code structure that can only be used once in your code 17:12:43 Also, Java programmers *argue against syntactic sugar for this*. 17:12:48 ais523, well yes. It wasn't clear to me what you could only do once 17:12:54 *For freaking lambda*. 17:13:07 pikhq: I think I know why; it's because it's a couple of keystrokes to do the whole Runnable thing in any good IDE 17:13:19 and so they don't acknowledge that there's a problem 17:13:20 pikhq, I argue we should have syntax sugar for lambda in C ;P 17:13:23 Is Eclipse considered a "good IDE"? 17:13:30 AnMaster: Check. 17:13:37 Sgeo_: probably good enough, although terribly slow 17:13:52 pikhq, hm? As in the chess term or as in checking something? 17:13:53 I use NetBeans, merely because I happened to have it installed, and it's easily good enough for my purposes 17:13:54 THe ADT stuff for Android is all Eclipse 17:14:02 [[The end title designer forgot to use punctuation when writing the end credits. This resulted in all assistants being listed as i.e. "ass designer" or "ass painter".]] 17:14:07 I mean, other IDEs can be used, but you don't get the tools 17:14:07 AnMaster: "Yeah, got it." 17:14:11 pikhq, ah 17:14:40 Where is the SomeClass.this.someMember stuff documented? 17:14:52 If I didn't see someone mention it, I would not have known of its existance 17:15:20 Sgeo_: in the documentation, of course 17:15:26 although, .this. looks very suspicious 17:16:00 the documentation tends to be heavily integrated in Java IDEs; it needs to be, it's such a pain to do anything otherwise 17:16:28 ais523, hm CLC-INTERCAL has lectures and classes, but I think adding a "that" as a parody of "this" sounds like a fun idea 17:16:31 * Sgeo_ should attempt to compile this Hello World or something 17:16:51 AnMaster: that would completely break INTERCAL's syntax 17:16:56 which is possibly enough of a reason to implement it by itself 17:17:05 ais523, oh? The phrase THAT? 17:17:18 or what do you mean 17:17:18 AnMaster: using a keyword to alias a variable 17:17:27 INTERCAL expressions just don't do that 17:17:29 oh hah 17:17:47 they're mostly just line noise, with the oververbose keywords being for statements 17:17:54 ais523, it wouldn't point to the own class or lecture of course. 17:18:14 * Sgeo_ hopes that Java will merely be unbearable, rather than poisonous 17:18:26 Sgeo_: don't worry, it's entirely sane enough, just annoying 17:18:28 Sgeo_, you could do native code for the phone 17:18:36 AnMaster: not if you want to use gui stuff 17:18:40 or... anything 17:18:44 all the apis are java 17:18:45 ais523, I don't consider the verbosity of java to be sane 17:18:47 AnMaster, before I do any non-Java stuff, I should probably actually get a test app running on the phone 17:19:00 AnMaster, that's unbearable, not mind poisoning 17:19:25 Sgeo_, hm I guess you could say that 17:19:28 LSL's reliance on global variables, however, IS mind-poisoning 17:19:38 heh 17:19:46 the real reason that problems happen in Java, I think, is the lack of sane defaults (or rather, /any/ defaults) for most of the standard libraries 17:19:55 this is not bad, just tedious 17:20:10 Sgeo_, have you heard about the scoping rules of bash and how to return a variable in the callers scope (or anywhere above local scope for that matter) 17:20:19 I'm sure I mentioned it in here before ;P 17:20:32 We're doing bash scripting in my UNIX class now 17:20:39 I hate it, the syntax is incomprehensible 17:20:52 Bash is one of the worst languages. 17:20:54 it's why something like a simple text box with a spinner can come out to far too much code because you have to say /just what/ sort of numbers the spinner spins through, and in what order, and maybe you want letters instead? or arbitrary INTERCAL statements? 17:20:59 alise: stop bashing it 17:21:02 a=($@) is different from a=$@ 17:21:07 And I don't know why 17:21:18 Sgeo_: because parens aren't used for grouping in bash, they're an operator 17:21:25 Sgeo_, Would you call this mind poisoning?: foo() { printf -v "$1" "foo data"; } bar() { local myvar; foo myvar; echo "$myvar"; } 17:21:33 run bar, it will print "foo data" 17:21:44 once you understand why (a)(:): and (a):: are different in Underload, you should go some way towards realising why they're different in bash 17:21:49 Sgeo_, reason to do this is to avoid subshells 17:22:05 a subshell can't affect variables outside it 17:22:11 so using $() is bad sometimes 17:22:13 AnMaster, I'm a bit confused 17:22:19 Sgeo_, about? 17:22:20 (that said, an esolang that did operator precedence by calling itself recursively sounds fun) 17:22:32 local 17:22:52 And why printf and not echo? 17:23:03 erm, n/.. I'm confused 17:23:34 a=($@) is different from a=$@ <-- the former declares an array of space-splitting all the cmd line args (you need quotes to avoid it!) The second... hm. I think it does a=$1 $2 ... 17:23:42 which is probably not what was intended at all 17:23:52 That bit me 17:24:03 THe professor gave us something like a=($@) without explanation 17:24:05 What's the difference between $* and $@ again 17:24:11 And I decided not to write the parens 17:24:32 I'd rather write JAVA than ever touch Bash agaim 17:24:34 *again 17:24:47 Deewiant, it is complicated and depends on if you use quotes around or not 17:24:57 Sgeo_, what? 17:25:02 Sgeo_, you dislike bash because of that? 17:25:16 the parens mean an array, without them it isn't one 17:25:20 that is how simple it is 17:25:23 I dislike bash because while loops tend to run in subshells 17:25:55 Deewiant, only if you don't know how to avoid it 17:26:03 Deewiant, foo | while ... yes 17:26:20 but not while ...; do ...; done <(foo) 17:26:47 Deewiant, quoting man bash: "$@" is equivalent to "$1" "$2" ... 17:26:59 "$*" is equivalent to "$1c$2c...", where c is the first character of the value of the IFS variable. 17:27:08 which is usually a space 17:27:20 AnMaster: wow, I didn't even realise the order of characters in IFS mattered 17:27:25 Why is Eclipse so slow? 17:27:43 The.. order of characters.. in IFS.. matters 17:27:45 Sgeo_: hundreds of layers of design patterns 17:27:53 ais523, I can't say I remembered it. I don't generally mess with IFS. I think I changed it once. And that was in envbot and I reset it quickly after 17:28:02 WHY does the order of characters in IFS matter? 17:28:18 Sgeo_, because of sh compat I guess? 17:28:21 so that the system knows which ones to use if it's trying to make a list, presumably 17:28:40 Bleh, my screen is not large enough to accomodate a 800x480 screen 17:28:47 s/screen/resolution/g 17:29:06 Sgeo_, wth? Is that some mini-netbook? Or a phone? 17:29:15 AnMaster, phone 17:29:26 Sgeo_, well why are you doing that on a phone? 17:29:52 Because I want to see my modified hello world app work? 17:30:14 and iirc the only way the order matters in IFS is to decide which char will be used for separating lists and such that bash outputs. 17:30:28 I guess you could have used a separate variable for that 17:30:42 but it would have been a waste of memory on those old systems where sh was invented 17:30:46 (probably) 17:31:55 My emulator seems to be not working nicely right now :( 17:33:00 Sgeo_, did you mean you couldn't fit a 800x480 on your phone screen? 17:33:12 because that is how I interpreted the answer 17:33:18 AnMaster, I couldn't fit it on my laptop screen 17:33:24 Sgeo_, well okay that is strange 17:33:26 very strange 17:33:39 erm, it might be 480x800 17:33:39 Sgeo_, how large is it? 12"? 17:33:59 okay that is somewhat more reasonable not being able to fit in height direction 17:34:02 and yes widescreen sucks 17:34:06 Sgeo_: what??? 17:34:08 that's not a laptop 17:34:10 * AnMaster longs for the days of 4:3 17:34:10 maybe a netbook 17:34:24 * Sgeo_ 's resolution is 1280x800 17:36:35 00:04:12 want me to ask the Iota guy any questions? :x 17:36:38 WHY ARE YOU A FELINE 17:36:39 would do 17:36:53 00:48:51 (I think I remember some completely non-Java thing that still opted to steal Eclipse's IDE bits, though I don't quite remember what that ws.) 17:36:55 lisp has done it 17:37:37 Why can't I find my app on the emulator? 17:38:28 Oh, Eclipse says that the emulator disconnected 17:40:37 -!- cheater2 has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 17:41:05 * Sgeo_ has an idea for an app 17:41:44 ARGH 17:41:56 The emulator is too slow for Eclipse!

18:41:59 if-then-else 18:41:59 AnMaster: In response to Joel Spolsky 18:42:00 if-then-else is the only native conditional statement in Jaskell. 18:42:00 Unlike many imperative languages such as Java, the "else" clause is mandatory. 18:42:00 The following expression evaluates to 5: 18:42:00 if 1==1 then 1 else 5 18:42:02 (WHAT) 18:42:08 * AnMaster looks up 18:42:13 that's just a typo, but it makes everything so much funnier 18:42:15 AnMaster: 3ish hours ago 18:42:20 alise, are these cases any good?

18:42:27 it seemed the replay was broken 18:42:28 Sgeo_: don't bother with a case 18:42:29 Can't remember 18:42:30 due to wrong setting 18:42:34 ais523: who knows 18:42:36 so I didn't get any replay after reconnecting 18:42:44 alise, I _will_ drop it at some point, in all liklihood 18:42:53 ooh, this website uses frames 18:42:53 Sgeo_: yeah a case won't help 18:42:57 I do have a distressing tendency to drop phones 18:43:34 oh, I see 18:43:51 Jaskell $$< is Perl qq, Jaskell <<< is Perl q 18:43:56 alise, hm? 18:44:00 -!- kar8nga has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 18:44:00 the only thing insane is the names of the operators 18:44:23 but they're still pretty insane 18:45:11 also, there's something simultaneously horrifying and elegant about that switch construct 18:45:12 Wait, Jaskell != Haskell on the JVM? 18:45:28 Sgeo_, if you drop phones get one of those toughened ones 18:45:31 Sgeo_: it seems to be on the JVM, but its syntax is certainly radically different from Haskell's 18:45:43 haven't read far enough to know if the semantics are remotely similar 18:45:55 AFAIK there is no Haskell for JVM 18:46:17 F# 18:46:18 How difficult could Haskell on the JVM possibly be? 18:46:19 * ais523 runs 18:46:20 Sgeo_, I remember hearing on radio a test of a mobile phone that survived being driven over by a van! 18:46:27 Sgeo_, it wasn't a smartphone though 18:46:30 AnMaster, is it an Andr.. right 18:46:59 Sgeo_, it was some call-sms-bw-screen Ericcoson one, marked to construction workers and such 18:47:04 marketed* 18:47:06 ais523: F# is on .NET, too :-P 18:47:13 F# is on the JVM? 18:47:18 Deewiant: it's only on .NET, is the point 18:47:20 No, .NET 18:47:23 Oh 18:47:33 and besides, is an ML-derivative rather than Haskell-derivative 18:47:36 I thought your point was that F# is approximately Haskell 18:47:41 Call me when you can use .NET stuff on Android 18:47:42 And that the .NET/JVM thing was just a mistake 18:47:44 no, I was just trolling 18:47:50 Yes, that was obvious 18:47:53 thus the running in the following line 18:48:00 I thought you only trolled in one point, not two, though 18:48:05 apparently, when trolling, being factually accurate doesn't work so well 18:48:07 there is 18:48:10 lambdavm 18:49:03 hmm, this lang starts to look a bit more haskellish halfway down 18:49:21 the "call by need" seems rather vague, though 18:49:47 although I suppose in a pure lang, pretty much all the lazy calling conventions are identical, because there's no way to tell them apart 18:50:42 Sgeo_, oh btw that phone finally gave up when they drove over it with an excavator iirc XD 18:50:53 I can't find any link though 18:50:57 and iirc it was in Swedish 18:51:02 (the test) 18:51:57 alise: Jaskell doesn't seem /that/ insane 18:51:59 Call me when you can use .NET stuff on Android <-- presumably you could compile mono for it 18:52:07 if it is based on linux 18:52:17 AnMaster: it isn't really 18:52:20 it's based on Java 18:52:28 Linux is there, but it's a long way away from a standard Linux system 18:52:32 hm 18:52:48 it's like, sitting down at an elisp interpreter and asking "am I on Linux", to which the correct answer is "why do you care?" 18:52:50 ais523, linux would still be the lowest layer and java higher up 18:53:01 yep, but you can't communicate with the lowest layer 18:53:07 so it might as well be made of kittens 18:53:17 ais523, and I would care because the one thing I want on my phone is a bash shell :P 18:53:27 ais523: Actually, you can. 18:53:30 that would be the main reason to get a linux based phone 18:53:31 pikhq: ah, ok 18:53:35 is it just unrecommended? 18:53:45 The Java runtime on Android allows you to load .so files. 18:53:58 and then everything else should be easy :D 18:54:00 The only reason for *using* Java is because the Android API itself is in Java. 18:54:34 does the notion of a Java shell (along the lines of csh) even make any sense at all, I wonder? 18:54:40 hm I think some more linuxish phone would fit me better 18:54:49 fizzie, didn't you have some linux phone? 18:55:04 ais523: *shudder* 18:55:13 ais523, csh? 18:55:13 Terrible syntax for a shell. 18:55:16 *shudder* 18:55:26 something's wrong here 18:55:33 ais523, what? 18:55:40 the mere mention of csh makes people shudder sufficiently that they don't realise that doing it with Java would be even worse 18:55:51 ais523: I'm shuddering at the idea of a Java shell. 18:55:53 (hmm... isn't that what Powershell is, come to think of it, except with .NET rather than Java?) 18:56:04 -!- augur has joined. 18:56:05 csh is fairly poor, but it's at least *usable* as a shell. 18:56:22 ais523: Powershell adds syntactic sugar. 18:56:33 pikhq: as does .NET generally 18:56:45 Also, it's only a ".Net shell" in the sense that it's essentially a REPL for .Net. 18:56:48 I find C# really confusing to read, the mix of syntaxen is as bad as Perl 18:58:07 ais523, ouch you are right *shudder so violent it registers as 2.2 on the Richter scale* 18:58:33 (about csh with java syntax) 18:58:45 bonus points for using it interactively 18:58:47 g 18:58:54 ais523, using what interactively? 18:58:59 the shell? 18:59:25 yep, jsh or whatever we call it 18:59:28 ais523: *syntaxes 18:59:29 stop abusing plurals 18:59:35 also, csh isn't /that/ bad 18:59:38 it's bad, but not world-endingly bad 18:59:46 I find C# really confusing to read, the mix of syntaxen is as bad as Perl <-- better than Java at least. How did you do attributes and generic types in java now again? 18:59:48 alise: if it makes you feel better, I used the word "syntaxen" knowing it was wrong 18:59:56 ais523: yes, but it's irritating :P 19:00:03 Especially when you consider that what it was improving on was *old-school* Bourne shell. 19:00:06 attributes I can't remember, because I've never used them (assuming we mean the same thing by the word) 19:00:14 It added *job control*. 19:00:15 but generics is done exactly the same way syntax-wise as C++ 19:00:37 the relative sanity of that idea, I'll leave up to you to decide 19:00:38 ais523, C# has a _fairly_ clean syntax for generics 19:00:46 somewhat C++ based yes 19:00:56 in Java it's basically HashMap or whatever 19:01:02 but not quite as unreadable and not having the other issues of C++ templates 19:01:23 btw, the new version of GCC apparently doesn't print default template arguments by default any more 19:01:24 ais523, similar in C# and how do you define HashMap generic? 19:01:32 which presumably helps a lot against error message spam 19:01:39 AnMaster: it's in the standard library 19:01:42 ais523, class HashMap or some such? 19:01:46 ais523: Still not as good as Clang. 19:01:51 ais523, well assuming you want to make a similar class yourself.... 19:01:51 but if you're defining your own thing generic, you just put the angle brackets in 19:01:53 a generic one 19:01:55 right 19:01:58 Which is basically how compiler error messages should be *done*. 19:02:03 ais523, and then refer to T1 and T2 in the code? 19:02:07 AnMaster: yep 19:02:09 well sounds exactly like C# then 19:02:21 AnMaster: C#'s basic syntax isn't bad 19:02:24 they just went overboard with extensions 19:02:34 ais523, which isn't quite like C++ thankfully. C++ after all does the template keyword for it. And for other things 19:02:46 I remember seeing the template keyword on something else than a class 19:02:47 e.g. the LINQ stuff; I know, let's do functional-style programming with map and filter etc, but I know, let's use SQL syntax! 19:02:58 AnMaster: you can have template functions in C++ 19:03:02 ais523, what do you mean by attributes btw then? 19:03:11 s/btw then/then btw/ 19:03:23 AnMaster: I'm not sure; I've vaguely heard it's some way of tagging something to mean something, but I'm not really sure 19:03:32 or was that annotations? 19:03:35 ais523, I saw mandlebrot in sql once. Might have been PL/SQL or sich 19:03:36 such* 19:03:38 -!- tombom has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 19:04:03 AnMaster: the issue isn't with SQL itself (it's OK for what it's meant to do), but randomly embedding its syntax in a C-resembling (or Java-resembling) language 19:04:25 ais523, well iirc that thing is cleaner in C#. Used for various things. Remember doing meta programming by getting all classes tagged with a certain attribute in the compiled file 19:05:04 ais523, doesn't that exist? As embedded sql or such? Fairly old and obscure thing iirc 19:05:17 ais523, you don't need to use the special LINQ syntax to use LINQ 19:05:47 AnMaster: var lownums = from n in numbers where n < 5 select digits[n]; 19:05:49 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_SQL 19:05:56 ais523, err what? 19:05:58 it's that that I'm talking about 19:06:04 (example taken straight from Microsoft's docs) 19:06:06 ais523, wth does it do 19:06:14 ais523, I only worked with .NET 2.0 19:06:16 nothing newer 19:06:18 Sgeo_: no, but presumably it exists for a reason 19:06:35 AnMaster: pretty much what you'd expect if you think about what the similar SQL and Java statements would do 19:06:53 also, I'm pretty surprised that you ever worked with .NET, you don't seem to be the type 19:06:54 ais523, "similar java statement"? 19:06:55 what? 19:07:04 ais523, also: it seems backwards compared to SQL 19:07:09 yes, I noticed that too 19:07:26 ais523, but what do you mean with similar java statement? 19:07:30 AnMaster: well, an assignment 19:07:36 you think I know java? 19:07:48 ais523, and I mostly worked with mono not .NET 19:07:58 ais523, and it was ages ago 19:08:00 AnMaster: I think you know the bits of Java syntax which are near-identical to C and C# syntax, yes 19:08:04 well yes 19:08:10 but what does the "var" there do 19:08:14 type inference 19:08:14 afaik it is not C# 19:08:17 unless I forgot a LOT 19:08:22 and yes, C# does that 19:08:26 but only for declarations 19:08:26 ais523, is it new? 19:08:30 probably 19:09:06 ais523, wouldn't that be some array or list type in the example above? 19:09:22 yes, it's an array, you're indexing it 19:09:30 ais523, I mean that the var goes to 19:09:33 with exactly the same syntax as in more or less every C-like sane language ever 19:09:40 it could be list or array or set or dict as far as I can see 19:09:45 well, OK 19:09:52 well probably not dict there 19:09:57 but set or list would make sense 19:10:04 I'm not actually sure what it is, the evil thing about type inference is that you can't tell by looking at the relevant bit of code 19:10:08 set especially so since that is what SQL kind of returns 19:10:18 (even in Haskell, it's good style for top-level functions to be annotated with what types are supposed to be inferred) 19:10:26 ais523, heh 19:10:29 and no, SQL results are ordered 19:11:05 ROFL at porn spam on AndroidZoom: 19:11:06 "It’s Peekababe - our newest, coolest and sexiest android app ever!. With the flick of your wrist and a twist of your iPhone, watch their clothes slide off." 19:11:08 ais523, well if you use group by or whatever sure 19:11:13 err not that one 19:11:17 order by 19:11:19 ORDER BY? 19:11:20 yeah 19:11:25 was a bit since I used sql 19:11:26 if you don't, IIRC the results are supposed to be in natural order 19:11:37 Sgeo_: search-and-replace fail? 19:11:40 hmm, not even that 19:11:45 manual-search-and-replace fail 19:11:49 (even in Haskell, it's good style for top-level functions to be annotated with what types are supposed to be inferred) 19:11:57 and in a dependently-typed language sometimes (often) you must annotate types 19:12:05 yes 19:12:11 ais523, hm I can't figure out which one maps to from in SQL: "from n in numbers" "select digits[n]" 19:12:17 because it's impossible-as-in-deciding-truth-or-falsity-of-arbitrary-higher-order-propositions-impossible to infer 19:12:19 C#'s "type inference" is basically just inferring variable types from their initialisers 19:12:27 which is substantially more decidable, I imagine 19:12:54 ais523, it could be decided at runtime in C# I assume? 19:12:57 alise: incidentally, one of the things I'm doing for work in Real Life right now involves trying to construct a program which is formally undecidable to infer types for 19:13:09 ais523: i think that's easy 19:13:10 AnMaster: err, determining types at runtime in a statically typed language? 19:13:13 alise: so do I 19:13:18 ais523, is .NET though? 19:13:21 but I have to work within the constraints of the language I have 19:13:23 which is not a typical one 19:13:25 ais523: make the type of some thing depend on the veracity of some independent-from-axioms statement? 19:13:35 ais523, I mean it is an System.Object unless it is a value type 19:13:40 alise: I was planning to compile Diophantine equations into the type system 19:13:45 yes the value type thing confuses things a bit 19:13:56 ais523: ah, that is a better approach 19:13:58 but that means enum, integer, struct, float plus a few misc things iirc 19:14:18 almost everything else is an object. And you can get boxed integers and so on 19:14:29 alise: IIRC Chaitin has a diophantine equation that implements Lisp, but the equation itself isn't really needed, just a way to construct it from a class which is known to contain undecidable elements 19:14:47 Chaitin is one of my heroes. 19:15:12 I was going to say "is my hero", but wanted to parenthesise "(is one of)", then realised I'd need "hero(es)", then just decided to expand it. 19:15:21 alise: I was planning to compile Diophantine equations into the type system <-- what about doing something like perl undecidability proof? 19:15:36 AnMaster: the point is, the language itself is decidable 19:15:39 not sure what your constraints is 19:15:41 are* 19:15:43 AnMaster: you fail at "undecidability" 19:15:43 and also what that perl proof means 19:15:47 which leads to the crazy case of a decidable language with an undecidable type system 19:15:50 (hint: it's about syntax, not typing) 19:15:54 ais523, hah :D 19:15:59 besides, that requires compile-time code execution 19:16:02 ais523, what is this language? 19:16:08 ais523: decidable as in it is runnable? 19:16:21 or is it supposed to be generic "any language with these properties"? 19:16:21 alise: decidable as in bounded storage 19:16:23 most dependent type systems have undecidable type systems but can be executed perfectly well 19:16:37 so you can tell whether it halts or not by running it until you either get a repeat of the program state or it exits 19:16:38 or, well 19:16:38 x is-of-type X is decidable 19:16:38 just not x is-of-type ? 19:16:53 no, x is-correctly-typed is undecidable 19:17:07 ah 19:17:09 given the types of everything, though, x halts is decidable 19:17:53 god, kolmogorov complexity is so sexy 19:17:53 I want to make a billion esolangs about it 19:18:13 ais523: ooh, use this diophantine equation as the sample 19:18:13 * alise loads the page 19:18:13 Chaitin made a Diophantine equation for the bits of \Omega 19:19:09 hah, the theorem that there is no perfect size-optimising compiler is called the "full employment theorem" 19:19:10 bbl 19:20:10 the /really/ silly part is that, although I haven't proved it yet, I /think/ it's possible to prove that any code in the language that types incorrectly is necessarily dead code, and the bits that actually run can be typed correctly 19:20:23 -!- alise_ has joined. 19:20:27 (and if you're wondering what sort of lang has that property, let's just say it's a rather unusual type system) 19:20:36 bbl the /really/ silly part is that, although I haven't proved it yet, I /think/ it's possible to prove that any code in the language that types incorrectly is necessarily dead code, and the bits that actually run can be typed correctly 19:21:08 ais523: Is it a language formulated for the purposes of this; some other academic language; or something that somebody actually made up for "real"? 19:21:21 Well, by "academic language" I mean "for the purposes of studying its properties"; the latter would presumably be "academic" too. 19:21:40 alise: the last; the type system isn't being used for the purposes that type systems are normally used for, though 19:21:47 it's basically a static-bounding type system 19:21:56 http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~chaitin/omega2.r ;; this is the diophantine equation to compute \Omega, I think 19:22:04 giving maximum bounds on the number of times things can be run in parallel 19:22:08 hmm... to a certain precision, I think 19:22:22 using the exhaustive-parallel-program-running approach, I imagine? 19:22:26 wait, no 19:22:28 it's just an equation 19:23:00 Ooh, the back button dismisses the keyboard 19:23:46 Sgeo_: it's touch-sensitive not an actual button on the nexus one :P 19:24:00 alise_: anyway, the point is that variables only used by dead code take up storage, but aren't actually used and so you don't need actual storage for them 19:24:06 -!- alise has quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds). 19:24:20 That's true but also seemingly out-of-context. 19:24:20 and yet, as the storage bounds are determined by the type system, the typing has to take the dead code into account 19:24:23 -!- alise_ has changed nick to alise. 19:24:30 Ah. 19:24:44 So it's a type system that encodes things like complexity and storage usage? 19:24:48 yep 19:24:54 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4pXcfgH4fE 19:25:06 I dreamt of that, once; well, actually just complexity. Then someone pointed out to me that analysing complexity was really hard, and I stopped thinking about it. 19:25:23 encoding complexity is relatively easy if you're insisting on finite storage 19:25:29 because it's always just O(1), the question is, what number 19:27:12 There was a nice quote about Knuth not being satisfied with "on the order of O(n log n)", instead giving an exact result with an approximated number; and /then/ he'd calculate that number to 10 decimal places. 19:27:28 heh 19:29:14 I don't think some encoding of the lambda-calculus is the best way to do Kolgomorov complexity -- sorry, John Tromp -- because of the iffiness of IO. 19:29:29 We need something that naturally yields some piece of data -- say, a list of naturals -- as part of computation. 19:29:47 But not something so unpredictable as Brainfuck's tape, that gets littered with rubbish and has to be cleaned up after-the-fact. 19:32:56 -!- zzo38 has joined. 19:33:02 -!- KingOfKarlsruhe has joined. 19:33:02 There's a Brainfuck Android app 19:33:20 I think I saw that once 19:33:21 Maybe I'll make a Befunge interpreter 19:33:32 I'd have to learn Befunge first, ofc 19:33:41 Maybe make INTERCAL Android 19:33:56 Make an actual android that can program in INTERCAL. 19:34:10 Sgeo_: Befunge-93 is pretty easy to interpret 19:34:13 alise: That isn't what I meant, but you can do that too, if you like to 19:34:16 the fine points of Befunge-98 can be chaos, though 19:34:38 Befunge-93 isn't TC, apparently 19:34:43 It isn't. 19:35:02 Sgeo_: it's a PDA, only finite amounts of storage can be accessed without permanently deleting some of it 19:35:29 that isn't really a very good way to express it; I know what I mean, but the standard conditions for being likely to be a PDA are kind-of hard to define 19:35:38 (for a very informal way of guessing: "one stack") 19:35:42 The best food at Japanese restaurant I had was yesterday 19:35:59 So that's where yesterday went 19:36:01 zzo38: the food was a timespan? 19:36:08 how often do you eat at Japanese restaurants? 19:36:12 It was called Sushi Plus. It was different than other Japanese restaurants I have been to, but I prefer it at that place 19:36:16 ais523: Every yesterday. 19:36:32 ais523: Not very often but occasionally I do, but not too rarely either 19:37:26 The first place the stack is mentioned is in the instruction set :/ 19:37:30 At Sushi Plus restaurant they served soup with rice noodles and beef teriyaki with eggs and rice together but no sauce. They also had a whiteboard with writing in Japanese, I could understand some of it but some of it I asked them what it meant so they said 19:38:09 beautiful; I hadn't realised that the Befunge specs were /quite/ that disorganized 19:39:17 And I didn't have to ask for spoon, they served spoon with both the soup and with the beef/rice. Of course they had chopsticks as well. I find it useful to use chopstick and spoon together 19:39:18 Sgeo_: what, in Befunge-98? 19:39:19 ais523, I'm looking at the wiki 19:39:20 That is completely false. 19:39:42 alise: I think we're discussing -93, although I'm not sure 19:39:43 ais523: actually, /most/ of the -98 spec is okay; it's just the instructions that are really abdly specified 19:39:52 getting an understanding of -93 first helps before moving onto -98 19:39:56 there is no canonical -93 spec afaik 19:40:07 the one returned by Google is pretty canonical 19:40:33 oh, hm 19:40:43 Is there a difference between http://quadium.net/funge/spec98.html and Befunge-98? 19:40:44 touche 19:40:53 Not IIRC 19:40:58 Sgeo_: that /is/ the Funge-98 specification 19:41:08 But to be safe, you can go with the more official link http://catseye.tc/projects/funge98/doc/funge98.html 19:41:09 Funge-98 == Befunge-98? 19:41:12 It defines Unefunge-98, Befunge-98 and Trefunge-98, with a nod to other-dimensional (and other-topological) analogies. 19:41:19 Sgeo_: Befunge-98 is a special case of Funge-98 19:41:23 Ah 19:41:30 ais523: well, actually, Funge-98 doesn't define the n-dimensional case 19:41:31 and the one that's generally used 19:41:32 Perhaps you can make one with hex-grid if you want to 19:41:36 just n = 1, 2, 3 19:41:38 alise: no 19:41:42 zzo38: yep, that's mentioned in the spec 19:41:48 alise: OK 19:41:48 [[As mentioned, Funge is a family of programming languages, and Befunge has many relatives and descendants. This document only covers Cartesian Funges. Other Funges, such as Honefunges (hex-net topology) and Kleinefunges (Klein-bottles) are certainly possible.]] 19:41:54 you'd need to change the commands a bit though for a hexgrid 19:42:05 [[However, Advanced Funges may not find either torodial space or Lahey-space sufficient for complex topologies, so this spec provides a language for defining wrapping behaviour in a mathematical way. 19:42:06 We can define an a wrapping function W() along the lines of: 19:42:06 W(x,y) = (x<0 -> x:=79, x>79 -> x:=0, y<0 -> y:=24, y>24 -> y:=0) 19:42:06 for Befunge-93. Complex topologies can define their own wrapping functions. If these functions are strictly and clearly specified in the documentation of the Advanced Funge in question, it will save a lot of confusion to users, and is highly recommended.]] 19:42:09 ais523: perhaps not 19:42:10 ais523: Yes, I would recognise that 19:42:15 topologists can do all sorts of things 19:42:23 I like how they call W a mathematical definition when it assigns variables. 19:42:25 alise: I'm mostly thinking of <>v^ 19:42:28 eine kleine funge musik 19:43:12 ais523: you can easily give them definitions 19:43:35 yes, but you can't sanely use the official definitions 19:43:38 y could be fun, too 19:43:42 but then, y is always fun 19:43:56 How would y be fun? y just outputs system information, no? 19:44:01 What about, fractal board befunge? 19:44:12 hilberfunge 19:44:16 I guess I shouldn't allocate a 2^32 by 2^32 array/list/whatever 19:44:32 That's generally not a good idea, no 19:44:36 zzo38: hmm; you could have a command to multiply the deltas by infinity 19:44:43 and divide by infinity 19:44:48 in a sort-of consistent way 19:44:52 basically, moving between the digits of a base-infinity number 19:44:53 Deewiant: If you can afford it... 19:44:58 that would give fractal behaviour 19:45:05 fizzie: Hence generally 19:45:07 Sgeo_: Are you implementing -93? 19:45:12 If so, then it's 80x24. 19:45:14 Sgeo_: some sort of sparse array is usual for -98 19:45:19 If not, then realise that it is a mammoth task. 19:45:20 for -93, it fits in an array just fine 19:45:20 alise, I want to do -98 19:45:22 It will take thousands of lines. 19:45:27 alise: 25 19:45:31 And much bothering Deewiant. 19:45:33 Deewiant: Er, yes. 19:45:35 Hm, maybe I'll make a -93 interp first 19:45:43 Good idea. 19:45:49 Is there a Mycology for -93? 19:46:00 ais523: Yes, that is a idea. Like, you can use a lowercase omega to represent this kind of "infinity"? Maybe 19:46:01 alise: I maintain that the core can be done in less than a 1000 lines :-P 19:46:02 ais523: Not very often but occasionally I do, but not too rarely either <-- how zzo 19:46:11 ais523: But not in ASCII 19:46:23 AnMaster: I can't remember exactly what time but I do sometimes 19:46:31 zzo38: you could write \omega in ASCII, TeXishly 19:46:48 Deewiant: But not efficiently in any way. 19:46:49 Sgeo_: Mycology has some tests for -93-only interpreters 19:46:53 ais523: But not for ASCII based grid, I meant 19:46:57 Deewiant, cool 19:47:03 zzo38: ah 19:47:05 alise: Sufficiently efficiently 19:47:12 zzo38: use W or something 19:47:13 zzo38, why should I care about that 19:47:17 it's just like lowercase omega, only slanty and big 19:47:18 Not looking forward to typing in all of Mycology though. I guess I should figure out how to let my app load it 19:47:19 hey, it's doable in one line of java 19:47:20 How often do you run performance-intensive Befunge? :-P 19:47:20 zzo38, I just said your line was very zzoish 19:47:34 nothing else 19:47:45 AnMaster: OK. 19:47:46 Sgeo_: you only need the -93 mycology set 19:47:46 Deewiant: I managed to spend 625 lines in ff3, and that's just 93. 19:47:50 since the rest is exclusively -98 19:47:52 and the -93 test is very small 19:47:53 alise, still a lot of typing 19:47:57 fizzie: Yeah, but you're doing it wrong. 19:48:05 fizzie: That GLfunge thing is bad, right? 19:48:08 fizzie: How big is jitfunge at the moment, by the way? 19:48:14 Well, it means I'll see how survivable the keyboard is 19:48:20 alise: Yes, don't speak of it. 19:48:30 hmm, talking to zzo38 has almost all the advantages of talking to a computer, with the bonus of being able to use natural-language English 19:48:31 Sgeo_: Copy-paste? 19:48:33 zzo38: you could write \omega in ASCII, TeXishly <-- and emacs could convert that for you 19:48:40 Deewiant, um? 19:48:44 AnMaster: so could sed; so what 19:48:45 ais523: Ooh, interesting. 19:48:46 ais523, M-x set-input-method RET TeX RET 19:48:47 Deewiant: I don't thing "wrong" is quite fair, it works just fine. 19:48:49 Hm, maybe, actually 19:48:53 ais523, that is quite different than sed 19:48:58 zzo38: Please present an algorithm for generating Pythagorean triples. 19:49:04 alise: this is not #irp! 19:49:12 bad bad IRPing 19:49:23 ais523, in fact there are some other useful ones, such as IPA, SGML (or was it called SGML?) and a few more 19:49:32 fizzie: Fair enough; can't think of a proper adjective though 19:49:36 ais523: Hey, he's just going to look it up in his algorithmic database. 19:49:40 Database lookups aren't computation! Much! 19:49:50 ais523, and a lot of language ones like Chinese and what not 19:50:01 Deewiant: 5351 lines in .cc and .hh files in jitfunge currently. 19:50:06 So the IFs go down if true 19:50:08 ais523, so comparing to sed is just useless. :P 19:50:09 stop giving me an urge to anthropomorphise SQL so I can get it to taunt you for me 19:50:22 AnMaster: you could do it with a specially-prepared sed script, I mean 19:50:31 fizzie: That explains why it's not working yet ;-) 19:50:40 ais523, that do this as you type with completion in the minibuffer? 19:51:03 AnMaster: meh, it's Emacs, there's probably some way to run buffers repeatedly through an external program 19:51:06 ais523, I don't think sed has quite those IO capabilities 19:51:10 completion might be a little harder though :) 19:51:30 hmm, has anyone tried to make Emacs work like Gobby, I wonder? 19:51:37 ais523, now you gave me an urge to learn more sed and then implement something ncurses-like in it 19:51:52 * Sgeo_ looks at the Befunge-93 spec 19:51:53 AnMaster: sed reads input a line at a time 19:51:56 How is v.<>:| @ not a no-op? 19:51:59 that's enough to scupper any hope of plausible input 19:52:08 ais523, what about various sed variants? 19:52:10 Sgeo_: it's an infinite loop 19:52:14 you start with v, which points to itself 19:52:17 the rest of the program is ignored 19:52:21 ais523, gnu sed has some extensions for example 19:52:31 I don't think it includes unbuffered IO though 19:52:33 So why is it in the spec as "This program makes duplicates of each value on the stacked, which is checked, and if non-zero, printed. 19:52:33 " 19:52:41 probably you mispasted it 19:53:00 Looks like something that should be two or more lines 19:53:01 or removed newlines, or something 19:53:08 yeah what Deewiant said 19:53:23 What I should do, is make a Phlogjournal interface for HTTP/HTML as well, but without the capability to send comments 19:53:35 ais523: It's actually like that in the spec itself 19:53:41 http://catseye.tc/projects/befunge93/doc/befunge93.html 19:53:46 Deewiant: broken example in the spec? 19:53:46 Sgeo_: That's an error 19:53:54 It's probably HTML failure 19:53:58 But it /is/ in 19:54:10 zzo38: why haven't you presented the algorithm yet? 19:54:10 what does it say in the source? 19:54:13 isn't 
19:54:14  But then, it's also in 
    
19:54:20  alise: because you don't have admin rights to him
19:54:21  
      v.<>:|  @
19:54:23  
    
19:54:27  v.<>:|  @  <-- broken in source too yes
19:54:32  alise: Can't you find one yourself?
19:54:36  Deewiant, that 
       is on a separate line
19:54:43  Yes, that makes no difference
19:54:45  and, as said earlier, this isn't #irp
19:54:47  I was trying to paste it in one line
19:54:47  Deewiant, indeed
19:54:55  I don't see why random #esotericers should have to answer your questions
19:55:01  Deewiant, ah couldn't see that what with 
     on another one
19:55:23  zzo38: Yes, but you'll probably produce a nicer algorithm than other sources.
19:55:38  Deewiant: As for adjectives, maybe "wicked" instead of wrong, though "doing it wicked" sounds a bit strange.
19:55:55  alise: OK. But I would need more specifics of course, like which ones to generate and so on
19:56:15  And I'm still not sure I would do that right now anyways.
19:56:38  zzo38: All of them, in any order. Uniqueness doesn't matter.
19:56:45  afk; cleaning dog vomit
19:56:48  ais523: Not /quite/ like a computer, then :-)
19:56:52  ouch
19:56:53  AnMaster: Can we agree to unimplement static areas? I don't like them :-P
19:56:57  zzo38: You don't have to, of course :P
19:57:09  Deewiant, what? Of course I'll keep it
19:57:14  Meh
19:57:24  Deewiant, why should I remove it when it speeds things up? :P
19:57:33  It slows down wrapping programs
19:57:43  Deewiant, oh? AABBs don't though
19:57:46  It increases memory usage
19:57:49  well yes
19:57:56  For CCBI, it's only faster because the hardware is faster at using constants than variables
19:57:59  but I prefer speed in speed-memory tradeoffs
19:58:07  I think it's such a hack all in all :-P
19:58:09  Deewiant, well sure, but that is always true
19:58:18  Deewiant, you don't need to implement it in CCBI
19:58:19  AnMaster: you do realise that memory bandwidth is the main source of speed nowadays?
19:58:20  It doesn't have to be true, if your hardware is sufficiently stupid
19:58:21  no one forced you to
19:58:28  Deewiant, XD
19:58:29  alise: OK, now I know. I will do it when I want to but not right now. Perhaps I can use dc because it support arbritrary-precision-number
19:58:34  apparently -O3 is often slower than -Os nowadays just because the smaller code fits more nicely into the cache
19:58:47  ais523: That's often been true, actually.
19:58:49  ais523, gcc 4.5 miscompiles cfunge at -O3 I noticed
19:58:59  haven't had time to investigate much more yet
19:59:03  AnMaster: are you /sure/? compiler bugs are rare
19:59:13  Depends on the compiler
19:59:15  ais523, well it is a regression compared to previous versions
19:59:16  you may be doing something that violates the C standard
19:59:29  and gcc has decided to implement an optimisation that takes advantage of the leeway you give it
19:59:29  ais523: Is there a way to specify -O2 and -O3 and -Os for different parts of the same file? Also, does entering a label name cause a optimization break at that point?
19:59:32  ais523, it breaks some {} test in mycology
19:59:34  that sort of thing happens all the time
19:59:34  I've found many LLVM and DMD bugs whilst developing CCBI :-P
19:59:54  And GHC bugs whilst developing other stuff, etc
20:00:00  ais523: -O3 will break things that rely on even minor chunks of undefined behavior. :)
20:00:00  zzo38: for the same file, not as far as I know, but there might be (probably some attribute); labels shouldn't cause any difference, loops are turned into gotos pretty early in optimisation anyway in gcc
20:00:11  These days, more often than not, if I can't figure out why something's wrong within ten minutes, it's a compiler bug
20:00:22  ais523, icc and clang works fine. But indeed further investigation needed. Which happens to be a PITA. It isn't like that ICE I got when trying the new link time optimisation stuff
20:00:23  Also, I'm pretty sure that Cfunge's odder things actually *are* compiler stress tests.
20:00:35  which *is* a compiler bug by all definitions
20:00:57  Sgeo_: Anyway, this is how that program is supposed to look:
20:00:58  v.<
20:00:58  >:|
20:00:58    @
20:01:13  Deewiant, you should mail cpressy about it
20:01:19  Deewiant: ah, that makes a lot more sense
20:01:29  Because, I would like to be able to force optimization breaks in optimized C programs, and retune optimizations for each individual parts of codes in some cases too. I think putting a label name somewhere should force an optimization break at that point even if that label is never refereced
20:01:42  oh and someone tell alise about mkry if he hasn't already been told (tell him to read logs)
20:01:51  AnMaster: I did
20:01:51 * AnMaster still has him on /ignore
20:01:55  AnMaster: *she; *her
20:01:57  (alise that is)
20:02:21  Actually quite ironic considering her situation.
20:02:26  alise: I'm amused that you respond to someone's claim to be /ignoring you by nickpinging them; it seems a little redundant
20:02:50  ais523: I don't really care, since he spends all his time when I'm here talking about how I'm ignored.
20:03:25  Deewiant, either that exits right away or it loops forever? I can't remember which way goes which on | (only on _)
20:03:33  zzo38: you could try __asm volatile ("" : : : "memory");
20:03:53  AnMaster: "This program makes duplicates of each value on the stacked, which is checked, and if non-zero, printed."
20:04:07  according to some random mailing list I found on the Internet, that basically causes everything to be dumped to memory and reloaded from it at that point so that your (nonexistent) asm statement can run
20:04:12  Deewiant, ah. so it isn't the complete program?
20:04:13  that should be pretty good at disrupting optimisation
20:04:21  ais523: Thanks for that, perhaps it could work
20:04:38  obviously, this is completely untested from my point of view
20:04:39  AnMaster: There is no "the" program, that's the snippet that's talking about
20:05:12  zzo38: __attribute__((optimize("Ofoo"))
20:05:13   ais523: Is there a way to specify -O2 and -O3 and -Os for different parts of the same file? Also, does entering a label name cause a optimization break at that point? <-- yes per function using __attribute__ in recent gcc versions
20:05:17  Function attribute.
20:05:20  It calls it a program that duplicates each value on the stack"ed"; at the beginning of all programs the stack is empty so presumably it's meant as a subroutine (or just a concept; if there were values on the stack this is what it would do)
20:05:20  Both ifs go the "same" way in the sense of the sign of the coordinate in question.
20:05:25  Only works on GCC 4.4 and higher.
20:05:26  pikhq: ah, we've managed to answer both his questions between us?
20:05:28  AnMaster: Thanks for that too
20:05:35  pikhq: How goes your -98
20:05:42  Deewiant: No work on it.
20:05:48  :)
20:05:48  zzo38, I forgot what exact __attribute__, I refer you to the gcc documentation on that
20:05:53  :-)
20:06:03  AnMaster: or to pikhq, who answered the question just before you did
20:06:04  not the man page iirc
20:06:07  but rather the website docs
20:06:14  perhaps the info page, unsure
20:06:27  with the exact name of the attribute (__attribute__((optimize("O3")) or whatever, for reference)
20:06:27  but no one uses info except for emacs built in help system
20:06:33  ais523, ah
20:06:38  AnMaster: OK I can see the documentation
20:06:39  and I use info
20:06:45  ais523, from inside emacs?
20:06:52  I use the gcc info page, but not many others.
20:06:55  AnMaster: if I'm there at the time, but more usually standalone
20:07:01  With pinfo, actually.
20:07:05  I use gcc online docs rather than touching info
20:07:10  fizzie, well pinfo is kind of ok
20:07:10  why the hate on info?
20:07:21  it's pretty good, pretty much like w3m, which I normally use for HTML docs
20:07:29  -_-
20:07:39  well I use w3m-mode in emacs quite often
20:07:41  but still
20:07:55  Much of the hate is due to the default viewer
20:08:00  yes
20:08:01  I use gcc online docs too, but only because I am on Windows. On Linux I would use the ones included in the system, because Linux has those but Windows doesn't
20:08:03  Deewiant: but I like the default viewer!
20:08:09  though pinfo isn't too good either
20:08:15  does yelp do info?
20:08:32  for example pinfo can't do i-search using ctrl-s
20:08:34  zzo38: sometimes you have to request docs specially, e.g. install gcc-doc as well as gcc
20:08:35  like info can
20:08:55  ais523: OK now I understand. But that still doesn't apply on Windows
20:08:57  info is quite a strange mix of emacs and vi(m) key bindings
20:09:03  ais523, noticed that?
20:09:13  I do sometimes use Linux, when I am doing work at FreeGeek
20:09:17  ais523, for example / to search and ctrl-s to search
20:09:18  AnMaster: not really; you have to remember I play NetHack
20:09:46  ais523, what about it? nethack doesn't use emacs key bindings at all IMO?
20:09:52  AnMaster: I'd imagine it's more consistent if you use Emacs' info reader.
20:10:00  pikhq, well yes it is
20:10:22  AnMaster: /all/ NetHack's keybindings are in nethack-el though
20:10:39  but really, both vi bindings and emacs bindings are relatively familiar by now
20:10:49  at least, the hjkl movement; actual vi editing, I'm rather bad with
20:11:10  It's impossible to change direction while in stringmode, I guess
20:11:14  I happen to like many things in vi
20:11:44   AnMaster: /all/ NetHack's keybindings are in nethack-el though <-- well, I never tried nethack-el
20:11:45  Sgeo_: yes
20:11:45  In some vi (such as vim) you can do cursor movement in insert mode (and also delete, pageup/down) by pushing the arrow keys (and pageup/pagedown/etc)
20:11:57  AnMaster: it's not as good as regular NetHack, I don't think
20:12:03  ais523, hjkl is quite confusing. Numpad ftw
20:12:10  and this is why I never play nethack on my laptop
20:12:12  AnMaster: how dare you say that!
20:12:29  hjklyubn saves you from having to move your hands all the time, it's really convenient
20:12:32  Sgeo_, it is possible to wrap while in string mode
20:12:50  in numpad mode, how do you open doors? or look at things? or use stairs?
20:12:51  Some games I made supports many movement key such as hjkl/yubn/arrows/numpad/etc. Like, 100LEVEL game support vi keys or numpad
20:13:05  ais523, I have two hands?
20:13:14  ais523, and sometimes yes you have to move
20:13:19  ais523, also nethack-qt
20:13:23  AnMaster: well, you can't cover the entirety of the main part of the keyboard with one hand
20:13:24  just because I know this will annoy you
20:13:33  At least in ADOM, I use numpad + for upstairs and numpad enter for downstairs, 0 to open door, * to pickup, - to swap positions
20:13:41  AnMaster: nethack-qt would be one of the better tiles interfaces if it didn't have horrifically broken font rendering
20:13:45  And . to search
20:13:47  ais523, agreed.
20:13:47  but the sdl interface is awful
20:13:52  *sdl interface is better
20:13:55  that's a weird typo
20:14:00  hah
20:14:09  ais523, didn't know there was an sdl one
20:14:23  zzo38, it is <> for up/down in nethack
20:14:45  AnMaster: I know that
20:14:50  right
20:14:58  zzo38, ascended any time?
20:15:05  It is the same in Rogue and in ADOM as well. I have never won NetHack.
20:15:07  AnMaster: I was about to ask the same question
20:15:10  ah
20:15:17  ais523, to me or zzo38?
20:15:21  along the lines of "zzo38: which roguelikes have you won"
20:15:26  right
20:15:26  I may as well ask you now the subject's come up, though
20:15:28  I have won ADOM however
20:15:34  (I've ascended NetHack 5 times, never won any other roguelike)
20:15:53  And "KING"
20:15:59  But not NetHack or Rogue
20:16:10  ais523: nethack: 2x val, 1x sam 1x wiz. No time on NAO due to horrible lag to it. Slash'EM: 3x val
20:16:29  s/no time/none/
20:16:35  I can't get NetHack to compile on my computer though
20:16:36  (modulo case)
20:16:44  ooh yes that can be tricky
20:16:53  and I refuse to play nethack without the menu colour patch
20:17:11  (nao has it)
20:17:12  I can't win KING on the hardest difficulty level though
20:17:20  never heard about king
20:17:21  I won ADOM with Drakeling Fighter character
20:17:29  and never tried adom
20:17:48  ais523, so what do you think about that list? :)
20:17:53  http://roguebasin.roguelikedevelopment.org/index.php?title=KING
20:18:05  AnMaster: 4x val, 1x wiz, so pretty similar to mine
20:18:15  ais523, val is simplest most certainly
20:18:28  I enjoy playing valks
20:18:38  the wiz was mostly to prove I could ascend something else, and then go back to valks
20:19:07 -!- Gracenotes has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
20:19:16  ais523, yes they have a less hard time on low levels most certainly
20:19:41  earlygame isn't that bad as a wizard
20:19:56  ais523, also I suggest you do tou or bar next
20:20:07  on tou I managed the quest once at least
20:20:09  bar has a stupid quest
20:20:16  and is just like valk, but worse
20:20:22  ais523, I never got that far with bar (rhyme unintentional)
20:21:16  ais523, I still think tou should have a luggage, possibly only in wizmode though
20:21:19  I have won at Alan's Psychedelic Journey, too
20:21:28  otherwise it would be extremely unbalanced
20:21:40  *blink*
20:21:49  interesting name of a game
20:21:50 * Sgeo_ should probably make his Befunge-93 interpreter in such a way that it will be relatively easy to make it interpret -98
20:22:08  Sgeo_: The trick is to allow for sparse Fungespace.
20:22:11  Sgeo_: the two langs are different enough that starting again is a common choice to implement -98 for -93 implementers
20:22:31  Sgeo_, the trick is to allow you to rip out and replace funge space and stacks without too much pain
20:22:47  pikhq, first thing I thought of. Interface to the space should look the same in both, just implementation changes
20:22:52  ais523, both cfunge and efunge started as 93-subset then went to larger
20:22:57  You don't need to replace stacks unless you're going to implement MODE
20:23:07  Deewiant, you need to replace them with stack stacks
20:23:21 * Sgeo_ would think Deewiant would know that
20:23:22  I have not ever won at 100LEVEL though, even at the easiest difficulty level I cannot make more than 750 points
20:23:24  Just make a stack of whatever stacks you had
20:23:24  Also, 98-Fungespace is hard to do efficiently.\
20:23:34  You don't need to change your previous stacks
20:23:39  I'm not entirely sure what datastructure I'd *like* to use.
20:23:46  pikhq, list of tuples?
20:23:53  Deewiant, You need to change code using it to use the stack stacks though
20:24:04  If I could compile NetHack perhaps I would fix some things
20:24:06  first number x, second is y, ...
20:24:08  You don't necessarily even need to do that
20:24:09  But it won't compile
20:24:12  Actualy, that's not that efficient
20:24:17  zzo38, "fix"?
20:24:22  Sgeo_: That's *horribly* inefficient. :)
20:24:31  I followed the instructions but it still won't compile
20:24:35  Just make your previous stack be something that gives the top of the stack stack
20:24:42  zzo38, is that on linux or windows?
20:24:46  I mean, fix some things how I wanted it, possibly change the name a bit for that purpose
20:24:50  if on windows: give up, it is pointless
20:24:51  MinGW
20:25:03  It says I can do it on MinGW but it doesn't work
20:25:07  zzo38, well there are windows binaries
20:25:10  so why not use them?
20:25:13  I've compiled NetHack on Windows before, but I used cygwin
20:25:15  I know there are windows binaries
20:25:18  and built a UNIX build, not a Windows build
20:25:26  (note: I want to be able to compile the current ray of execution into a single array of threaded code, and cache this. That'd be fairly simple to do if it weren't for the darned non-cardinal IP deltas)
20:25:33  ais523, a cygwin one? Or cross compiled to linux?
20:25:35  But binaries aren't source codes
20:25:36 * Sgeo_ has no clue how to make a funge editor
20:25:39  ouch that sounds horrible
20:25:43  AnMaster: a cygwin one
20:25:44  Arguably if you're building on cygwin you're not building on Windows
20:25:45  cross compiling from cygwin to linux
20:25:48  that is just awful
20:26:03  pikhq: The ray will change often enough that I don't think that's worthwhile
20:26:04  why would I crosscompile to Linux from a Windows system, when I have a perfectly good Linux system to compile from?
20:26:15  Hm, 32-bit integers for -98, right? I can just say it's UTF-32
20:26:16  Deewiant, it still compiles to dlls instead of *.so and *.exe in the PE format and so on
20:26:19  Deewiant: Note, "caching".
20:26:32  Caching a couple of recent rays will probably work, yes
20:26:32  I want to add some additional modes, remove race/class combination restriction, add some more classes, and add feature to type in the name of any kind of creature in the game to make your character as that kind
20:26:33  Wait, no, UTF-32 is unsigned, hm
20:26:34  Meaning that in theory it could often just pull the threaded code out of cache.
20:27:12  Sgeo_: Unspecified, but fungespace cells must be the same size as stack cells.
20:27:14  pikhq, you need to handle writes to funge space correctly
20:27:19  not only from p but from other ones too
20:27:20  AnMaster: Yes.
20:27:27  such as s and various fingerprints
20:27:47  Obviously modification of the funge space would invalidate at least parts of the cache.
20:27:58  Sgeo_, you can't read mycology if you want input files to be in UTF-32
20:28:01  well
20:28:05  you would have to convert it first
20:28:07  ... Hey, I've got an idea. 8-bit Funge-98. :P
20:28:15  pikhq, forbidden by spec
20:28:17  In one year, FreeGeek will give me another computer and I will install Linux From Scratch on that one (it comes with Ubuntu but we can change the installation)
20:28:18  at least 32 bits
20:28:20  in the spec
20:28:22  AnMaster, hm, what does Mycology do, exactly?
20:28:35  I mean, that it's not UTF-32
20:28:41  Sgeo_, test suite for befunge-98 (and 93 too. but the 98 part is *much* larger)
20:28:44  AnMaster: Aaaaaw.
20:28:55  AnMaster, I knew that
20:28:57  Sgeo_, it is useful to find bugs. In fact it is crucial for it
20:29:05  Sgeo_, you asked me what it did
20:29:09  I answered
20:29:14  Actually, no, it's not forbidden by the Funge-98 spec.
20:29:17  It's not UTF-32 in that it uses one byte, not four bytes, for each ASCII char :-P
20:29:25  Deewiant, indeed
20:29:26  AnMaster: no, you didn't
20:29:29  I think that is what I said
20:29:30  It states that 32 bits is *typical*.
20:29:35  Sgeo_: it tests various operations and fingerprints and checks they return the correct results
20:29:57  Deewiant, thanks for answering what I meant to ask
20:30:01 * Sgeo_ slaps everyone else
20:30:04  ouch!
20:30:24  Sgeo_: But, isn't that pretty much a given for just about every text file
20:30:32  Sgeo_, you could have stated your question more clearly
20:30:34  Sgeo_: I'm not sure what you wanted to ask
20:30:45  Deewiant, yes, it is
20:31:07  Deewiant, hm... "If the underlying memory mechanism cannot provide this (e.g. no more memory is available to be allocated,) the interpreter should complain with an error and do what it can to recover, (but not necessarily gracefully). "
20:31:12  Should be easy to read it as UTF-8 and operate internally as UTF-16
20:31:23  Well, not UTF-16, due to the sign issue
20:31:27  AnMaster: Yes, you don't have to reflect for everything
20:31:33  Deewiant, would that be true for abort() or segfault? they are errors, and it failed to recover
20:31:34  XD
20:31:43  Yes, it would
20:31:46  Something that can be mapped to unicode code points would be nice, though
20:32:02  Deewiant, but continuing with buggy behaviour and no OOM message would not be?
20:32:17  "Should" is not "must"
20:32:20  Does Windows have a SIGPIPE signal?
20:32:22  ah yes
20:32:37  zzo38: I'm pretty sure it doesn't
20:32:49  Deewiant: That's what I thought
20:32:57 * Sgeo_ stll does not know how to make a funge editor
20:33:00  pikhq, "16 bit and 8 bit versions are discussed as separate variations on Funge-98."
20:33:09  And is it wrong to call Befunge-93 a funge?
20:33:18  pikhq, plus you can't do any of the existing fingerprints with less than 32 bits
20:33:20  And call my app AndFunge-93
20:33:20  AnMaster: Still not forbidden.
20:33:31  Because, sometimes MinGW takes up 100% CPU even when the window is closed and stuff, so I assumed that is because Windows doesn't have a SIGPIPE signal
20:33:37  Just not very useful if you want any fingerprints.
20:33:38  Sgeo_: "funge" itself is a very general term
20:33:42  Ok
20:33:43  "Funge" is more specific, "Funge-98" more so
20:33:51  and there's "fungeoid" which is more general still
20:33:56  pikhq, oh and you couldn't fit mycology in 127x127 cells
20:33:58  err
20:34:05  yeah that is what you get from positive
20:34:17  So it would be bloody useless. :)
20:34:27  Easy to implement though.
20:34:33  pikhq, yes anything less than 32 bits is bloody useless
20:34:33  I'm not sure if Mycology would accept a 16-bit funge
20:34:34  I'm not going to do that then.
20:34:41  What's 1y?
20:34:48  Some flags
20:34:52 -!- Asztal has quit (Read error: Operation timed out).
20:34:53  yeah
20:35:01  Sgeo_: y is crazy
20:35:02 -!- KingOfKarlsruhe has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
20:35:08  "1 cell containing flags (env). " in http://catseye.tc/projects/funge98/doc/website_funge98.html
20:35:09  1y2% is whether the interpreter is concurrent, IIRC
20:35:11  it's basically a dump of all the info about the interpreter and program state
20:35:18  there is a version with readable font and bg colours
20:35:19  let me find it
20:35:20  but you can ask for just one entry, rather than all of it
20:35:22  16-bit *maybe*. Though it would require *pretty much* the same work as a 32-bit Funge.
20:35:28  ah yes here: http://catseye.tc/projects/funge98/doc/funge98.html
20:35:31  (16-bit Fungespace is 4 gigs?)
20:35:31  that is more readable
20:35:58  pikhq: 2^16 * 2^16 * (2 bytes)
20:36:00  Is there a Mycology for Unefunge-98 and um, the 3d one?
20:36:06  No
20:36:09  (Trefunge)
20:36:09  Deewiant: Ah, right.
20:36:19  Sgeo_, you don't ask for an entry, you ask for a cell. So if something takes two cells or varying number of cells you have to take care of that
20:36:34  Deewiant, oh and cfunge will probably get faster y-as-pick soon
20:36:47  8 gigs.
20:36:49  Deewiant, something that can't be done without a huge PITA if you implement EVAR
20:37:10  What's that "huge PITA"
20:37:12  Which is *almost* feasible as a single array on modern computers.
20:37:39  It is feasible
20:37:41  Deewiant, that the size of env vars isn't constant and you just can't add/substract easily, remember that you might be changing an existing one
20:37:47  Deewiant: But pricy.
20:37:48  But most people's machines can't handle it
20:37:54  (it's feasible yes but a huga PITA)
20:38:04  I've got 8 gigs myself but that's not quite enough
20:38:05  And 32-bit Fungespace? That must be sparse.
20:38:07  *Must* be.
20:38:15  Absolute Vector sounds.. interesting
20:38:22  pikhq, not exactly, not on >64 bit machines
20:38:31  with that much memory
20:38:35  which is infeasible yes
20:38:39  AnMaster: You can just recalculate the size when EVAR changes them
20:38:52  Deewiant, true. still a PITA
20:39:14  AnMaster: I don't have exabytes of RAM handy.
20:39:15  Deewiant, oh and you can't optimise pushing env vars into a memcpy() :P
20:39:15  Not IMO... you have to calculate it when y is called anyway
20:39:20  Sure I can
20:39:23  pikhq, ah
20:39:25  I already have
20:39:45  Deewiant, oh? EVAR should mess it up?
20:40:01  Just recalculate the env vars in y after EVAR
20:40:06  Actually. Holy fuck.
20:40:08  Not a problem
20:40:18  32-bit Fungespace is larger than 64-bit addressing.
20:40:24  Yep
20:40:35  eh?
20:40:39  I have other question, do you know in Darwin/Mac OS X what the apple vector contains (other than apple[0] being the path of the program)?
20:40:42  2^32 * 2^32 * 4
20:40:47  oh yeah
20:40:47  >= 2^64
20:40:50  forgot that *4
20:40:52  -_-
20:40:58  AnMaster: 64-bit addressing *bytes* is larger than 32+32 bit addressing *words*. :)
20:41:05  Do you know what apple[1] does (if anything)?
20:41:18  pikhq, indeed. Just make it use 32 bit words with a byte index
20:41:29  in your new computer design
20:42:26 -!- Asztal has joined.
20:42:45  pikhq, anyway you need a small amount of memory too for the program running it, unless you implement that in hardware
20:43:07  Just hide the program in some random place nobody will use anyway
20:43:12  Stupid idea, then. 32-bit Fungespace with smaller-than-32-bit memory, so I can say "fuck sparse datastructures"
20:43:14  Deewiant, XD
20:43:14  zzo38: Which apple vector?
20:43:17  Like at (-2^23,2^19)
20:43:27  alise: The fourth parameter to main
20:43:34  char**apple
20:43:36  pikhq, what is wrong with sparse data structures?
20:43:51  Slowness, I imagine
20:43:52  AnMaster: They're more work than array[foo][bar]!
20:43:54  zzo38: No clue. Have you got the manual pages?
20:44:00  Also, they are more slow to index.
20:44:02  And yeah, nontriviality :-P
20:44:15  what? main() takes 4 parameters on OS X?
20:44:17  that's wth
20:44:20  wtf*
20:44:22  wtf*
20:44:26  five on Windows, doesn't it?
20:44:26  gah
20:44:31  ais523, huh?
20:44:34  AnMaster: main() takes 3 on normal UNIX.
20:44:39  pikhq, I know
20:44:45  pikhq, and I consider that pretty wtf too
20:44:46  And on Linux there's another "parameter" after envp.
20:44:55  pikhq, oh? and what one is that?
20:45:02  ELF option vector.
20:45:06  I don't have Mac OS X so I don't know. But I know that I think the apple[0] is useful
20:45:09  It's after the terminating NULL of envp.
20:45:09  pikhq, what does it contain?
20:45:18  oh
20:45:22  well that isn't a parameter then
20:45:31  Thus the scare quotes.
20:45:35  right
20:45:41  still, what does it do, specifically?
20:45:42  I'm curious
20:45:43  pikhq, what does the ELF options contain?
20:45:51  (and after the NULL of envp is a pretty stealthy place to hide data)
20:45:59  ais523, indeed
20:46:06  zzo38: name of the progam is just argv[0], sort of
20:46:08  What does the ELF option vector do?
20:46:12  I never heard of this before btw
20:46:28  ais523: Five on Windows? What would the extras be?
20:46:28  It contains a few different things... The one that I *remember* is that it contains the prelinking data for the dynamic linker.
20:46:44  huh
20:46:44  Deewiant: they're completely different from the standard ones
20:46:50  and contain things like window handles, etc
20:47:03  Aren't you talking about WinMain now
20:47:03  alise: No, argv[0] only contains the name of the program as it is typed, which does not even necessarily have to be the actual name of the file at all, and won't necessarily contain path information. apple[0] contains the real path of the program (although it can be a relative path)
20:47:11  Surely the ordinary main() doesn't receive that stuff?
20:47:15  ah, it's four, not five
20:47:22  and it's just called WinMain by convention, it's still the main entry point
20:47:23  WinMain takes four
20:47:28  they don't call it main to avoid scaring people
20:47:29  Well yes
20:47:36  ais523, eh?
20:47:37  But you can still have a C main that takes the ordinary two
20:47:40  hmm, I wonder why I thought it was 5?
20:47:47  They're separate things
20:47:47  pikhq, where is that option vector documented?
20:48:01  AnMaster: Somewhere *deep* in kernel documentation.
20:48:25 * pikhq is looking for it
20:48:27  also, nCmdShow is a really stupid idea AFAICT
20:48:38  I can sort-of see the reason for it, but sort-of feel that it should have been handled really differently
20:48:55  Sort-of sort-of :-P
20:48:56  Hrm. Seems I have the wrong name...
20:48:58  pikhq, isn't meant for normal user space then?
20:49:07  Also no window handles in WinMain; the app doesn't have any windows at that point. Just application instance handles.
20:49:14  ais523, what is nCmdShow?
20:49:19  AnMaster: It's handled by the dynamic linker.
20:49:24  pikhq, right
20:49:25  So -98 is not entirely backwards compatible with -93
20:49:26  :(
20:49:35  pikhq, very inefficient then, having to scan for the NULL there
20:49:38  *Oh, right*.
20:49:38  The differences are small
20:49:42  pikhq, oh?
20:49:54  There's also the Linux entry gate in there.
20:50:05  pikhq, what is the linux entry gate?
20:50:19  Sgeo_: Mostly just SGML-spaces
20:50:22  linux-gate.so
20:50:22  which you need for infinite wrapping
20:50:38  http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_1.3.0/IA64/spec/auxiliaryvector.html
20:50:40  There's the spec.
20:50:56  pikhq, pseudo one. And that is in /proc/pid/maps as [vdso]
20:50:58  iirc
20:51:05 * Sgeo_ lols at 0"gnirts"
20:51:08  AnMaster: Yes.
20:51:10  Sgeo_, why?
20:51:16  it's fun to say out loud
20:51:17  AnMaster, it's just strange, that's all
20:51:20  The location of it is passed in the auxiliary vector.
20:51:36  ais523, is it? I done that I didn't find it funny
20:51:38  unusual yes
20:51:41  but not funny
20:51:48  pikhq, x86_64 also has [vsyscall]
20:51:53  which is quite a mess
20:51:53  Also, it's only after envp because start shoves it there.
20:52:15  pikhq, ah
20:52:15  AnMaster: "what sort of window to create" makes a load of baseless assumptions
20:52:23  I mean, how should the GIMP react to that, for instance?
20:52:23  (arguments to main do not exist until start makes them)
20:52:40   AnMaster: "what sort of window to create" makes a load of baseless assumptions <-- is that in reply to nCmdShow?
20:52:51  yes
20:52:59  oh, conversation mixup
20:53:10  this happens when you try to keep all your IRC conversations in memory simultaneously
20:53:55  ais523, just quote the thing it is in reply to
20:54:02  or some key word
20:54:10  just mentioning nCmdShow there would have worked
20:54:57  ais523, AnMaster: Maybe use some sort of conversation-indication [tags] in every message.
20:55:19  fizzie, we tried to implement that when freenode was having huge lag some months ago
20:55:30  (didn't work out well because ais523 refused to do it properly)
20:55:46  Like people do [PATCH] on mailing lists and so on.
20:55:59  In the { definition, what is meant by "storage offset"?
20:56:00  fizzie: AnMaster tried to unilaterally implement a SYN-ACK-like numering scheme for IRC comments
20:56:13  which was completely impractical as far as I could tell
20:56:20  fizzie, I was suggeting UUIDs in the form of  where even was one person and odd was the other person
20:56:22  Sgeo_: It affects g and p among others
20:56:27  and to refer to a specific message you would use that
20:56:38  ais523, I don't think I did SYN ACK ...
20:56:58  but yes TCP sequence number I guess is similar
20:57:07  but I don't know enough about that to be sure
20:58:20  Hm, I guess I could do something like #v{
20:58:36  To test if I have enough memory, and if I don't, go down the v path?
20:58:36  Sgeo_, for what?
20:58:42  Sgeo_, well sure
20:58:42  Yep
20:58:59  SYN ACK could work during massive lag
20:59:03  #vX is common idiom for any reflecting X.
20:59:17  #^X too
20:59:20  or
20:59:21  #
20:59:22  >
20:59:22  X
20:59:26  give the number that you think your message should be (in your own personal numbering scheme), and the first number you haven't seen from the other person (in their numbering scheme)
20:59:28  or same but <
20:59:40  you can give a third number if you like, the number of the message you're actually replying to)
20:59:45  #_X is a bit rarer
20:59:55  ais523, well yes
21:00:12  Deewiant, heh
21:00:20  then, retransmit if you see someone claim they haven't seen something you've already said
21:00:21  Deewiant, that depends on what else is on the stack
21:00:28  this can lead to false positives, but not false negatives I think
21:00:47  Deewiant, if it reflects due to being unimplemented... such as t
21:01:00  then any value will be left
21:01:13  You can do ]X when going upwards, but I haven't seen that done often, even if it's quite compact.
21:01:26  ais523, false negative what?
21:01:35  AnMaster: thinking you didn't need to retransmit when actually you did
21:01:39  I think I do something like that a few times in Mycology
21:01:39  also what about ># X
21:01:45  where you have error handling to the left
21:01:56  and the normal path enters from above or below the >
21:02:09  Yes, that's fairly common as well
21:02:19  #;X is similar
21:02:23  And ;#;X...
21:02:35  ;#;X is a bit pointless
21:02:36  Deewiant, not quite as common as #^X though (plus the variants)
21:02:43  That's fairly equivalent to plain X
21:02:57  unless you're hitting the # vertically for some other reason
21:03:08  Deewiant: btw, does mycology test a single ; on a line anywhere?
21:03:10  Hence "fairly"
21:03:13  you need something like: #;#;X for that to be of any interest, and even then it isn't of much intereste
21:03:17  Is it allowed for a stream device in Linux to be executed as a program?
21:03:25  I'm not sure if it explicitly tries a single one
21:03:27  Gah, Deewiant-speed strikes again. And I did mean the ...;...#;X case, just abbreviated.
21:03:29  zzo38, what is a stream device?
21:03:44  #"X is an alternative to #;X when you're out of ;-room
21:03:45  zzo38: I don't know; there's no technical reason why it couldn't be given how ELF works, but people might have decided that it's just too insane
21:03:46  fizzie, ah yes that would work
21:03:50  ;-room?
21:03:56  A character device, maybe?
21:03:57  Deewiant, err...  :P
21:04:00  AnMaster: something keyboard-like, like stdin or the read end of a fifo
21:04:11  If you're already using ; to cross over that code you can't put ; in it
21:04:16  Or it'll mess up the outer ;
21:04:17  ais523, not something like /dev/ttyS1?
21:04:19  So you use " instead
21:04:26  And if " is also used, you're screwed
21:04:30  you know
21:04:35  AnMaster: that's a character device, but I think they all work stream-like anyway
21:04:39  you can use any of the other variants
21:04:41  and there are more
21:04:49  I don't think "stream device" is a defined term, but I have an idea of what it means anyway
21:04:51  I don't /think/ I've used exactly #"X in Mycology anywhere
21:04:52  ais523, well unlike a block device yes
21:04:59  Deewiant: you can still use x to jump over code, though
21:05:01  But I have used " in lieu of ; a number of times
21:05:11  Does that command work  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb
21:05:13  ais523: x takes more space
21:05:22  Since you have to push the arguments
21:05:30  But yes, you can use x (or j)
21:05:32  zzo38: don't try it; it'd overwrite one of your disks with zeros, quite possibly your hard disk
21:05:38  g and p should really be before the {} stuff.. the {} stuff talks about the storage vector
21:05:49  and normally you specify a number of bytes to overwrite, and things like block sizes
21:05:50  Yes, they should
21:05:59  Especially as they're much more commonly used
21:06:10  I was going to blank a disk like dd but they told me to use mkfs.msdos instead so it will be formatted. But, when I put the disk in the other computer it wouldn't work anyways so I had to format it anyways
21:06:53 * Sgeo_ isn't sure how well the File I/O stuff could be made to work on Android
21:07:13  I got a "cannot create directory entry" error when I tried to use the disk on a DOS computer, so I had to reformat it again anyways.
21:07:43  Sgeo_: File I/O is optional
21:08:26  If you don't especially care about every single byte being zeroes, wiping just the beginning of the disk is usually enough to make it look empty. dd'ing a terabyte of zeroes is not very fast.
21:08:52  It's reasonably fast
21:09:07  It is a floppy disk, it would be slow of course
21:09:21  But using mkfs was faster than the format command in DOS/Windows
21:11:21  Well, yes. The format command 0-fills the drive.
21:11:36  (except for the filesystem data structures)
21:11:45  It has the /Q flag though.
21:12:20  Using /Q does make it more fast
21:12:21  Yes, it does.
21:12:28  Is /Q like the mkfs command in Linux does?
21:13:22  mkfs.msdos?
21:13:28  that will just add a new FAT file system on it
21:13:38  and who wants a FAT one anyway :/
21:13:54  also what is the diff between mkfs.vfat and mkfs.msdos? I have no idea
21:14:01  Funge-98 fingerprints remind me of PSOX
21:14:27  PSOX reminds me of Funge-98 fingerprints
21:14:28  Actually, I think PSOX stole handprints from Funge-98
21:14:28   If you don't especially care about every single byte being zeroes, wiping just the beginning of the disk is usually enough to make it look empty. dd'ing a terabyte of zeroes is not very fast. <-- you should dd from your hardware rng instead ;P
21:14:45  (not fingerprints though)
21:14:55  zzo38, /dev/sdb is _not_ a floppy unless you have some crazy usb floppy device
21:15:05  zzo38, /dev/fd0 is probably your floppy device
21:15:18  and that you may want to low level format in some cases
21:15:44  sdb's probably a USB disk
21:15:50  AnMaster: Probably different default args, like with mkfs.ext2/3/4.
21:15:52  although, theoretically could be a hard disk
21:15:54   Is /Q like the mkfs command in Linux does? <-- probably.

21:16:10  ais523, for me it was a harddrive until some year ago or so

21:16:21 -!- |MigoMipo| has joined.
21:16:22 -!- |MigoMipo| has quit (Excess Flood).
21:16:22  Yes it is a USB floppy drive
21:16:43  ais523, you found it funny that I wasn't angry over lost data, instead I was angry over kernel panic due to swap being on that disk
21:16:46 -!- |MigoMipo| has joined.
21:16:50  (yes I did have recent backups)
21:16:50  ais523: IDE and SATA both go through libata now, which puts devices at /dev/sd*.
21:17:14  There is two computers I need to transfer files, one has a working floppy drive but no working USB or network, the other has USB but no floppy drive so that's why I bought the USB floppy drive and the disks from FreeGeek
21:17:18  yeah what pikhq said
21:17:28  I haven't used hda for ages now
21:17:34  must have been over a year by now?
21:17:46  Is there an active Funge-98 Register somewhere?
21:17:46  When I connected the USB to this computer (WinXP), it appeared as drive B:
21:17:51  No
21:18:09  zzo38, okay, well I have no idea if low level fdformat will work on the usb floppy
21:18:12  Sgeo_: There may still be the one inactive one; can't remember the URL
21:18:18  AnMaster: Your ages must be pretty short, if a year is several.
21:18:19  But it's years old
21:18:32  zzo38, also must be an old computer with no network or such
21:18:51  PSOX doesn't require a central registry =P
21:19:14  AnMaster: a while back I used mkfs.msdos on a USB stick and it seemed to work
21:19:21 -!- MigoMipo has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds).
21:19:25  Sgeo_: So, UUID then? :P
21:19:26  after quadruple-checking to make sure I'd got the device it was on correct
21:19:27  fizzie, yes quite. Age of early 2010 is now at an end and we are in the dawn of the age of early-mid 2010!
21:19:36  Sgeo_: PSOX isn't extensible either (or is it?)
21:19:36  pikhq, no. URIs
21:19:37  also, reformatting your swap partition while the system is running is amusin
21:19:41  *amusing
21:19:46  Deewiant, it is
21:19:50  why didn't mkfs notice? because it wasn't mounted?
21:19:59  (IIRC, mkfs needs /two/ force options to reformat a drive while it's mounted)
21:20:08  Sgeo_: So, URLs, UUIDs, ISBNs, etc. :)
21:20:12  Yes, actually that other computer is Win98 and it is in a different building than this computer also. But it doesn't have network connection and the USB doesn't work (even though it has USB, but it doesn't work)
21:20:20  ais523, it would be terminal.
21:20:20  At least, similarly to Befunge, but since there's only one existant PSOX interpreter, it's easy to write extensions that will work on all existant PSOX interpreters
21:20:33  ais523, but you mean it wasn't the correct device?
21:20:35  ais523: Weird; swap devices are mounted.
21:20:48  oh, AnMaster used dd rather than mkfs
21:20:52  that's why mkfs didn't notice
21:20:55  ais523, me? No?
21:21:01  ais523, I haven't overwritten swap
21:21:07  ais523, the disk *died* that is what happened
21:21:09  oh
21:21:12  There is an optional PSOX registry that allows use of psox: URIs for identifiers
21:21:13  if you mean what I said above
21:21:16  ah, ok
21:21:33  ais523, it went *chulunk* *chulunk* *chulunk* *chulunk* *chulunk* *chulunk* *chulunk* *chulunk*  when I woke up
21:21:33 -!- augur has quit (Quit: Leaving...).
21:21:41  so some sort of mechanical fault
21:22:12  and this was probably 1.5 years ago or so
21:23:17  I think mke2fs also tries to check if the block device is just generally speaking in use (opened, possibly), not just whether it is mounted.
21:23:26  What's the TRDS fingerprint?
21:23:40  Sgeo_: See http://www.rcfunge98.com/rcsfingers.html
21:23:56  RCS?
21:24:24  Riley Computer Software
21:24:26  TRDS is presumably what drove MKRY to suicide. Ouch, even /my/ barely-extant too-soon nerve fired there.
21:24:35  I probably should not have sent that line.
21:24:53  fizzie: it checks for in-use, and also checks for mounted
21:25:11  Holy shit guys
21:25:13  http://www.rcfunge98.com/
21:25:14  The design
21:25:14  Sgeo_: try imagining a cross between Prolog and Feather, then fail

21:27:42  I guess it isn't really distasteful per se to make reference to her suicide since it was personal choice.
21:28:12  it's probably just best to move on
21:28:15  But anyhow.
21:28:21  Yes.
21:28:26  Such a shame, though.
21:28:40  Huh, Mini-Funge was replaced by something more powerful in V2?
21:28:51  I like the idea of writing fingerprints in totally unrestricted Funge.
21:29:02  Hey, you could implement the fingerprint-writer as a fingerprint itself.
21:29:03  It was?
21:29:09  # Mini-Funge has been scrapped and replaced with an all new dynamic fingerprint engine. Now fingerprints have the full power of the Rc/Funge VM at their fingertips. All commands are now available to fingerprints, including i, o, =, t, fingerprint loading and more.
21:29:27  Well yeah
21:29:39  It's still Mini-Funge, it just implements everything :-P
21:29:42  Okay :P
21:29:47  AFAIK anyway
21:29:50  I haven't really looked into it
21:30:19  Deewiant: I'm imagining some sort of fingerprint-defining fingerprint that has e.g. some opening/closing commands that take a fingerprint name, additional commands that take a string of funge source and a command name, etc.
21:30:35  That way, you could define fingerprints then use them in the same program; or define multiple fingerprints based on some computation, or even user input.
21:30:51  " AnMaster: ^. I'm so kind, even to assholes! AnMaster: ^. I'm so kind, even to assholes!" <-- wth?
21:30:52  AnMaster: i wanted a fnord vector type that would return an ' undefined variable' error... do you have
21:30:55  What do good Funge editors look like?
21:30:55  So we have FING and FNGR; what's that? :-P
21:30:56  And you could have a "fingerprint inclusion path" by basically loading a bunch of Funge files on startup.
21:31:00  fizzie, I think that bot is broken
21:31:01  Sgeo_: vim
21:31:07  Great, I try and help AnMaster and he doesn't even look.
21:31:13  fizzie, or alise is using it to circumvent /ignore

21:33:21  So, for future reference: Mention something relevant to AnMaster in the only way you can, to try and help him; then, AnMaster will get pissy and ignore the bot you used to do it.
21:33:26  Conclusion: Never help AnMaster. Ever.
21:33:52  Deewiant: There's a couple of other echoy commands there.
21:33:56  alise: I suggest you go and write a Befunge-98 interpreter orders of magnitude faster than Cfunge then. :P

21:38:27  Well yes, I meant the models
21:39:28  I should probably have the keyboard contain mostly the commands
21:39:42  Admittedly if you retrained it from the public logs, it wouldn't speak Finnish every now and then.

21:46:16  "mkdir data" for the win
21:46:23  could be a fun benchmark: get fungot running on every Mycology-completing interp simultaneously in the channel on the same prefix
21:46:23  ais523: thats because you're still in boston, perth is the most common complaint i hear is the syntax for mark in an ant?
21:46:27  Right, it tries to write data/fungot.dat.
21:46:27  fizzie: that's what i was arguing against forth!!! i want a mapreduce cluster now for some reason.
21:46:36  Was just checking the filename.
21:46:42  Dunno why CFUN didn't do it, though. Maybe because CCBI opened it faster
21:46:47  How difficult could it be to write a Befunge-98 interp?
21:46:52  then give them all a time-consuming command simultaneously and see how long it takes
21:46:53  And then it couldn't open it because it was already open, or something
21:47:00  Sgeo_: Famous last words... ;-)
21:47:03  Sgeo_: have a look at all the interps which failed Mycology horribly
21:47:11  Hmm, it's annoying that there isn't a Befunge-98 instruction for "increase y delta, set x delta to 0"
21:47:15  OR IS THERE
21:47:27  Sgeo_: Quote from CCBI's page: "It took me over a year—a fair bit longer than I expected"
21:47:40  And see there, fungot wants to be parallelized. Troubling signs of world-takeover.
21:47:40  fizzie: sicp is hard though. my car radio sucks, so i have to get up
21:47:41  o.O
21:47:43  But then, I was writing Mycology at the same time, and reverse-engineering fingerprints etc.
21:48:04  ]ul (xxxx):*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:(a~a*~~^)(:^):^
21:48:07  Sgeo_: It was a minor pain just passing Mycology-93. :P
21:48:07   ...out of time!
21:48:19  Hmm.
21:48:22  And more work to actually implement it correctly.
21:48:23  :P
21:48:41  Deewiant: OR IS THERE???
21:48:56  alise: Hmm.

21:49:56  Hmm, I guess you can kind of do it, as long as you enter the block on column two:
21:50:03  Or, wait, no.
21:50:06  I was thinking:

21:50:13  vbar...>
21:50:17  but that just goes down, down, downydown

21:50:51  set the IP to start moving bottomly-rightwards
21:50:54  11x
21:50:55  down-rightwards
21:51:00  11x is what AnMaster uses a lot. :p
21:51:09  fizzie: AnMaster uses a lot howso? :P
21:51:19  11x at EOL and > in the beginning.
21:51:38  Oh; I was thinking:
21:51:40  11x>...>
21:51:41  11x>...>
21:51:41  I've seen him do that and complained about the non-befungosity.
21:51:52  Matter of taste, I guess.
21:51:57  I have a legitimate use-case, though; defining a bunch of fingerprint instructions.
21:52:00  Why is there a separate file for Befunge-93 only, if the 80x25 square of the beginning of main Mycology is Befunge-93?
21:52:05  You kinda want them lined up.
21:52:08  fizzie, incorrect. I used it in a few cases, mostly very linear test cases with no branches.
21:52:12  There is no separate file for Befunge-93 only.
21:52:14  and > in the beginning won't work
21:52:24  you need 11x> on each line
21:52:25  for it to work
21:52:26  Hmm, proper Befunge code has no extraneous spaces, doesn't it?
21:52:28  What's mycorand.bf then?
21:52:29  I mean idiomatic :-)
21:52:32  (well not last and first obviously
21:52:35  Sgeo_: Read the readme.
21:52:38  alise: Extraneous?
21:52:44  If your interpreter is Befunge-93 only, run mycorand.bf and examine the
21:52:44    results.
21:52:54  Yes, that's the instructions.
21:52:55  Deewiant: As in, just to separate code up.
21:53:04  Sgeo_: random
21:53:06  Sgeo_: It doesn't say that's /all/ you should do.
21:53:17  →
21:53:24  It just so happens that in Befunge-98 we can load files so you don't have to do it separately.
21:53:34  alise: Well yeah, that's up to you. :-P
21:53:40  What if my Befunge-98 interpreter doesn't load files?
21:53:48  Then you should run it separately.
21:53:56  I should probably note that in the readme.
21:54:03  Yes, you should >.>
21:54:21  That section in the readme dates from before Mycology actually checked whether i and o are supported.
21:54:24  Deewiant: You should make a webservice thingy for fungify.
21:54:48  I don't have a webservice
21:54:51  To thingify
21:55:07  Sgeo_: mycorand.bf tests ?
21:55:16  ?
21:55:24  Yes, ?
21:55:29  Yes, the "go in a random direction" operator.
21:55:45  It would be bad style for a fingerprint to take a 0"gnirts" and then reverse it itself so that you can write it normal-forwards, wouldn't it?
21:57:04  ]ul (xxxx):*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:(a~a*~~^)(:^):^
21:57:07   ...out of time!
21:57:07   ...out of time!
21:57:15  Yays.
21:57:20  Yes or no? :P
21:57:34  I don't understand the question
21:57:41  You mean so that you should write 0"string" instead?
21:57:42  % and / are only tested on 98? Why?
21:57:58  Deewiant: yeah
21:57:59  Because they require user input in 93
21:58:09  alise: Well yes, that's bad style because it's completely incompatible :-P
21:58:23  Deewiant: But in this case the string is the code for a fingerprint instruction.
21:58:31  Why not just do a "Hello"0< ?
21:58:31  And writing Befunge code backwards is, um, not fun.
21:58:34  Erm, no ?
21:58:50  Sgeo_: Well, because you have to get to the < first.
21:59:01  alise: Well, then your " is not "; why not just make it a different command
21:59:11  Q for quote
21:59:20  alise: ALTERNATIVELY tell your fingerprint-maker that it expects its argument to be reversed
21:59:22  or S for string
21:59:56  Is it kosher to have fingerprint instructions do things like go into a string-ish mode?
22:00:03  Kosher?
22:00:05  That's feral, surely?
22:00:05  Erm, TRDS?
22:00:23  Yes, that's feral
22:00:26  But so's defining custom fingerprints
22:01:48  Well, yeah.
22:01:53  But if it's avoidable...
22:02:14  Just reverse it in the instruction that wants the string?
22:02:40  That's what I'm saying.
22:02:48  http://pastie.org/923810.txt?key=ww3ktz3y2aqxbuk0suvgmg Here's how it'd be written like that, with 0"string"s.
22:02:58  That's not feral, then.
22:03:06  Yes, but is it bad style?
22:03:14  Maybe I should have it take 0"gnirt"s, then have the definition code run backwards; then, it'd be a "string"0.
22:03:20  Incidentally, I'd use switchmode instead of 11x
22:03:35  And you don't need those trailing >s
22:03:37  (You could still have the instruction character first by using swap before I.)
22:03:37  It'd look like
22:03:46  I\ A' "0"0
22:03:55  Switchmode? And right you are.
22:03:58  I wouldn't consider 0"string" to be bad style
22:04:03  You said it was :-P
22:04:09  Or did you mean all base instructions doing that?
22:04:11  I didn't understand the context
22:04:29  If I just takes a reversed string, I think that's fine
22:04:35  What's switchmode?
22:04:41  Switchmode: "EDOM"4(S
22:04:56  Now [ turns into ] when executed and vice versa
22:05:05  (And {} () likewise)
22:06:08  Where's that specced?
22:06:14  And, uh, I should really memorise what the basic isntructions mean.
22:06:16  *instructions
22:06:19  That pretty much is the spec
22:06:21  http://catseye.tc/projects/funge98/library/MODE.html
22:06:57  Note: only supported by CCBI and Rc/Funge-98, AFAIK.
22:06:57  How would I use that to do line-by-line? Sorry; I'm retarded.
22:07:07  Instead of
22:07:08  11x> 'A 0"0"   I >
22:07:12  Do
22:07:19  [ 'A 0"0" I
22:07:45  The [, when hit from north, will take you east
22:07:49  Re support: excellent.
22:07:56  It then turns into a ], so that when you hit it from the west, you go south.
22:08:13  Oh clever. So it'd look like
22:08:17  v
22:08:19  [ ...
22:08:20  [ ...
22:08:21  [ ...
22:08:24  Yep
22:09:02  So you think 0"string"s are better than running the code backwards?
22:09:06  and doing
22:09:15  [ I\ A' "..."0
22:09:18  I don't really mind
22:09:19  Well, ignoring that the [ would have to change
22:09:21  I like 0"gnirts"
22:09:25  Just asking for your opinion on idiomaticness
22:09:29  It'd just be ] then
22:09:37  besides, you can just run right-to-left with "string"0 if you really care about readability
22:09:40  Well, 0gnirts seems more idiomatic
22:09:49  it's not like you don't end up changing directions loads anyway
22:10:49  alise: Also, what if the code you want to run contains a 0? :-P
22:11:11  Deewiant: Does any funge code have a \0 in it, really?
22:11:15  Someone should make a PSOX fingerprint, for making interacting with PSOX easier 
22:11:15  Mycology does!
22:11:24  Mycology isn't a fingerprint.
22:11:31  But no, there's really not much point
22:11:33  Deewiant: I'm not doing length-pushing; this is meant to make fingerprint creation /easier/.
22:11:41  Mycology has \0 in it.
22:11:45  Hmm, if I was running right-to-left, how would I do the switchmode stuff?
22:11:49  Maybe if you want to make an instruction that pushes a line from a file determined at runtime
22:11:54  Why does Mycology have NULs?
22:12:00  To make sure they work
22:12:10  alise: Same thing, just ] instead of [.
22:12:27  Deewiant: And at the end of the line, presumably.
22:12:31  No.
22:12:37  Eh?
22:12:40  Then it won't be executed the first time.
22:12:42  Oh, it will.
22:14:20  Hmm, actually, I should take code and then name on the stack.
22:14:23  Then you could skip the swap.
22:15:49  [ ...
22:15:51  X
22:15:52  ...
22:15:58  ... is executed after X, right?>
22:15:59  *right?
22:16:06  As in, we'll be going southwards.
22:16:09  Yes.
22:17:12  Bleh at Opera Mobile being only on the Market
22:18:07  If you unload EDOM while in switchmode, switchmode ends, right?
22:18:13  Or do you need to explicitly turn it off with S?
22:18:17  Turn it off.
22:18:18  *MODE
22:18:27  Or that's an UNDEF, really.
22:18:38  http://pastie.org/923841.txt?key=7tniprqy8nwr6wibrhvxmg
22:18:46  The definition code is surprisingly nice. This is promising.
22:19:00  In CCBI 1.0.something and below you don't need to turn it off
22:19:08  Of course defining instructions with " in might not be so nice
22:19:18  You need two ) there
22:19:23  Or wait, what
22:19:25  Oh really?
22:19:33  F starts the definition of a fingerprint called NUMS.
22:19:35  Firstly you need the S before the )
22:19:41  It is.
22:19:42  And then you don't need another )
22:19:44  Right.
22:19:45  We're executing backwards, remember?
22:19:49  Oh, so you are.
22:19:50  Or, wait, it needs to be ] doesn't it
22:19:52  Didn't notice that.
22:20:00  Yeah, it needs to be ], like you said.
22:20:01  Right?
22:20:05  Yes, they all should be.
22:20:28  My worry is that code that does something more complex -- like computation -- than simply feeding it a string might be ugly.
22:20:29  But eh.
22:20:33  This way keeps 0"gnirt"s.
22:20:45  If it has a string inside it it'll certainly be ugly; but such is life.
22:21:00  Or I guess that depends on whether you think ""'" is ugly.
22:21:23  "0""'"oof""'0
22:21:32  Worst method of string escaping discovered!
22:21:55  "Hello, "\'"n"
22:22:02  So c = "c'" :-)
22:22:18  It just feels weird to be going backwards.
22:22:30  Then don't go backwards :-P
22:22:50  But then I need 0"string"s, and that's worse! Isn't it?
22:22:52  You're the Befunge expert.
22:22:57  You don't need them.
22:23:07  What, write the entire code for an instruction backwards?
22:23:14  That's going backwards, too :-P
22:23:26  Hmm, I wonder what this would look like for 2D code.
22:23:37  Ouch. Maybe I /should/ write my own quoting instructions.
22:23:47 -!- coppro has joined.
22:23:48  You can go forwards outside the string and backwards inside it, but that takes at least two lines
22:24:10  I.e. run the "" right-to-left, but do other stuff left-to-right
22:25:25  I assume writing strings with newlines as-they-are (as in, 2D in the actual string building code) is not so pretty...
22:25:56  If you want a newline in a string you do 0"rab"a"oof"
22:26:02  Right, but I mean
22:26:07  actually having a newline in the code that builds the string
22:26:29  Not a problem?
22:27:42  Write a portion of Mycology with the same shape as in Mycology, but building the code that the section is instead. Mwahaha!
22:27:46  Now you see the evil!
22:28:09  Not that bad, really.
22:28:34  Hmm... if I want my fingerprint-definer to truly be powerful, I need to let the code access the host IP.
22:28:47  Like, I can move around in the fingerprint code, but I can't write an instruction that changes the direction the IP is going in.
22:28:50  Instead of having a literal 'foobar\nbaz' in the code you do ']"baz"0\n]"foobar"a
22:28:54  '
22:29:17  You'll have to move north if you want the Y-direction to be the same :-P
22:29:32  (And then use [ again instead of ])
22:29:36  alise, if you make something that lets fingerprints be defined in Befunge-98, that might be the only one my hypothetical AndFunge-98 interpreter will support
22:29:54  Sgeo_: Some fingerprints cannot be defined in that way.
22:30:00  Such as ones that affect the entire interpreter loop, such as TRDS.
22:30:07  alise: Mini-Funge had instructions for that. Don't know what's happened to that in Rc/Funge-98's new system

22:32:09  The SDK license agreement forbids it.
22:32:13  No; it's against the T.O.S.
22:32:14  Oh, right
22:32:18  Even before the recent change, IIRC.
22:32:23  Yup
22:32:32  Supposedly, that's for the multitasking that's coming soon
22:32:36  yes, the recent change now forbids you writing your programs in Befunge and compiling them for use on the iPhone
22:32:37  The recent change prevents pre-compiling, interpreting was already prevented.
22:32:38  Although that doesn't really make senser
22:32:48  Sgeo_: That's[...]bullshit, in so many words.
22:32:53  Fucking Apple douchebaggery.
22:32:59  Apple so fucked up big-time with the TOS from the start.
22:33:07  actually, writing in Befunge then compiling, you'd still have something capable of being a Befunge interp if it had exploitable p commands
22:33:11  Gregor: It annoys me because now Apple have totally ruined their reputation, whereas their actual computers have none of this shit
22:33:31  I've always considered the iPhone SDK agreement completely unacceptable but I'm considered an Apple fanboy anyway :(
22:33:33  Here's what I hope happens: This kills Flash. Then, Apple is investigated for monopoly stuff
22:33:35  alise: That's the problem, they've only ruined their reputation amongst the tiny portion of the population that gets it.
22:33:51  Sgeo_: but Apple don't have a monopoly
22:34:01  Sgeo_: Apple are well within their rights here.
22:34:10  Gregor: on the other hand, that portion of the population contains many of the people who'd actually plan to write apps for them
22:34:22  Gregor: Mm.
22:34:28  what'll happen is that the app store ends up full only of people who are trying to exploit their customers
22:34:35  But it's upsetting, because I want to like Apple computers and I want to support the computers.
22:34:40  But I can't because I'm supporting the shit as well.
22:34:42  which doesn't really sound ideal for Apple's customers
22:36:12  Is Opera Mini a good browser?
22:36:26  Sgeo_: good for some things, not others
22:36:38  Opera Mini is crap.
22:36:41  basically, you visit a web page, it renders that web page and sends you an image of the rendered web page
22:36:43  I can say this because I have used it on a telephone.
22:36:48  this gives you speed, but not many features
22:36:48  I wanted to claw out my face.
22:36:55  Sgeo_: Note --
22:37:01  Opera Mobile is an entirely different thing altogether.
22:37:06  think of it as "browser so we can run /something/ on a system that normally couldn't", rather than "browser so you can use the internet"
22:37:08  It is, I gather, significantly less suckful.
22:37:15  When will Opera Mobile be on Android?
22:37:18  and yes, Opera Mobile is an actual browser
22:37:29  Sgeo_: The Oracle does not yet know the answer to that question.
22:37:36  It does now, though.
22:37:38  It's already out.
22:37:41  Sgeo_: But just use the built-in browser.
22:37:43  It uses WebKit.
22:37:44  Opera Mobile is basically just a port of Opera.
22:37:44  WebKit is good.
22:37:46  You like WebKit.
22:37:52  Anyway, it's already out on Android.
22:37:53  Which is a good browser.
22:37:57  As is Webkit.

22:43:38  Yes

22:46:50  That's not good, hackers
22:46:51  That's not good
22:46:52  I wonder if it's as bad as the RMS stuff?
22:46:55  And thankfully I can't remember any more.
22:47:09  wait, I thought you were making that up
22:47:11  ouch

22:48:48  He's not bad at writing (though his stubbornness tends to bite him in the ass there), but that... *shudder*
22:49:11  alise, what do you think about the multitouch bug?
22:49:16  Sgeo_: link me up

22:49:55  Here's his almost-as-bad APL poem:
22:49:57  Rho, rho, rho of X
22:49:59  Always equals 1.
22:50:03  Rho is dimension; rho rho, rank.
22:50:04  APL is fun!
22:50:13  A far superior alternative:
22:50:20  There are three things a man must do before his life is done;
22:50:22  Write two lines in APL,
22:50:25  And make the buggers run.
22:50:47  Part of the groan-inducing is that filks often rely on puns...
22:50:56  http://stallman.org/doggerel.html An endless repository of pain.
22:50:57  Part of it is that RMS likes puns too much.

22:51:22  Bit of a nose obsession going on here
22:51:51 * Sgeo_ pokes alise
22:52:01  Sgeo_: No sound, so give me a text summary please.
22:52:14  The visuals work just as well
22:52:35  Multitouch on Nexus One, but not Android in general, seems to get the fingers confused if the axises cross
22:52:51  *axes
22:52:57 -!- mycroftiv has quit (Read error: Operation timed out).
22:52:58  Maybe a software bug.
22:53:14  But, eh, you don't really have any other viable Android phones available, and this seems a bit of an edge case.
22:53:39  Looked at the HTC Desire? Maybe it is out over there now.
22:53:41  My dad's considering switching/getting a T-Mobile
22:55:18  What's the myTouch like?
22:55:35  Besides ugly
22:56:11 -!- tombom has joined.
22:56:19 * Sgeo_ growls at being unable to find the version of Android used by myTouch
22:56:46 -!- mycroftiv has joined.
22:58:07  1.6 bleh
22:58:36  If I'm getting a T-Mobile contract, there's little reason not to get the Nexus One
22:59:02  Ok, maybe I should admit I'm a bit biased: I saw, and got to play with a little bit, a Nexus One last week
22:59:18  Just played with the Android Scripting Environment, couldn't get it to work
22:59:20  But still
23:00:19  Sgeo_: Look at the HTC Desire if you want to
23:00:31  It's just like the Nexus One but with the prettier Sense homescreen and some other minor differences
23:00:49  The myTouch is pretty old iirc
23:00:53  yeah
23:00:54  it's android 1
23:01:16  What network is Desire, again?
23:01:26  Oh, T-Mobile
23:01:45  Sgeo_: http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/htc-desire-review/
23:01:46  Read that.
23:01:59  It compares it to the Nexus One.
23:02:03  IMO the Nexus One's exterior is prettier but the Desire's screen...contents are prettier.
23:02:17  Sense UI is pretty, but other than that, and the phone button, I don't see the point
23:02:22  Hm, I can agree with that
23:04:01  Considering the tactile buttons and placement of trackpad, you'd THINK the Desire would have more screen space, grr
23:04:05  Sense has changes in the actual apps, I think
23:04:24  The Legend isn't very pretty but it has a fancy aluminium unibody covering :P
23:04:28  Sgeo_: Oh, that trackpad thing isn't nice IMO.
23:04:32  I much prefer a trackball, at least in theory.
23:04:35 -!- ais523 has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
23:04:52  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Sense
23:05:00  So Sense includes much more than just a home screen.
23:05:09  Noise cancellation sounds interesting
23:05:30  You may prefer stock Android; uglier, probably, but more... stock.
23:06:10  "in theory, the latter's unibody frame should be stronger than the Desire's old-fashioned assembly"
23:06:35  Yes but it's also more slippery.
23:07:01  Sgeo_: Mind you, Android 2 introduced a major makeover to the whole UI.
23:07:06  So stock Android isn't exactly ugly nowadays.
23:07:49  Sgeo_: But also "and the phone certainly doesn't peeve your ears with distorted background noise as produced by the Nexus One"
23:07:57  Still, who makes calls on their phone?
23:08:58  Sgeo_: Oh, and you can get the "best" of both worlds...
23:09:00  [[Of course, if you're really into that little glowing ball and the touch-sensitive buttons, you can always try flashing the Desire ROM onto it (at your own risk, naturally). Have fun!]]
23:09:17  Since the Nexus One is prettier on the outside and besides gives you more freedom if you want the Googley stuff by default...
23:09:27  http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/21/htc-desire-rom-shoehorns-htc-sense-and-flash-10-1-onto-the-nexus/
23:09:57  So there!
23:10:01  Go for the Nexus One, probably.
23:10:12  btw http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2010/04/11/Other-Android-Languages
23:12:12  And Tim Bray has a Nexus One, so if you like him go for the Nexus One!
23:12:22  Sgeo_: To be quite honest, since the Nexus One will be quite cheap on a T-Mobile contract, just get it.
23:12:38  It's not like you'll hate it or anything, it's, if not the best Android phone out there, in the top three.
23:13:08  Does the Desire have the multitouch issue? I can see myself wanting to play games with others on occasion
23:13:34  I imagine it does since it has similar hardware. And no, you won't.
23:13:41  The screen is not big enough for that; you wouldn't be able to see things.
23:13:51  Maybe Pong could work, at the most.
23:14:52  Nexus One is supposed to get Flash 10.1 soon?
23:15:17  okay, firefox is starting to get really weird on me
23:15:21  It has it now if you flash the Desire ROM.
23:15:24  it is literally refusing to load some pages
23:15:28  But you don't want Flash on a mobile device on the web.
23:15:29  Trust Me.
23:15:33  It is not pleasant.
23:16:08  alise, I don't think you could have possibly tried it
23:16:50  I can read, and I can reason, and I have used the web on a phone without Flash extensively; that is enough.
23:17:00  Where is the ROM?
23:17:06  I want to try it on the emulator
23:17:13 * Sgeo_ wonders how to get ROMs onto the emulator

23:55:11  what cfj number, I said :-P

23:56:37  I actually considered this too obvious to state the first time around

23:57:55  yeah they were
23:58:50  alise, how does it suck?
23:59:00  alise: they were overturned on reasonable belief, given how complex the sorting-out of the rules was. This was a bad overrule; ignorance of the law has long been held not to be a defence
23:59:00  Sgeo_: no tactile response whatsoever
23:59:04  almost impossible to use without looking at it
23:59:15  Almost like the Nexus One keyboard!
23:59:27  yeah but way too big to be usable
23:59:59  coppro: a shame; I bet something comes up sometime where that precedent will be useful
