00:43:29 <Patashu> When using php's mysql functions to retrieve values from a database, does it return integers in the datasbase as integers or as strings?
00:44:16 <evincar> Patashu: As integers, so far as I know.
00:44:50 <evincar> Not that it particularly matters, right?
00:45:04 <Patashu> It shouldn't... Something is being wonky
00:46:23 <evincar> What database type are you using
00:46:25 <evincar> *?
00:46:28 <Patashu> mysql
00:46:44 <evincar> No, like MyISAM or InnoDB.
00:47:30 <zzo38> At FreeGeek I have a SQLite reporting program, as well as a separate CGI program allowing it to be accessed by HTTP servers; even write access to databases is permitted.
00:48:08 <evincar> Patashu: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5323146/
00:48:10 <Patashu> Oh, sorry, I don't know, but I'm doing this test: if ((int) $row['enabled'] != 1) in a table where enabled always equals 1, and it's triggering
00:48:42 <zzo38> Why don't you use SQL as a templating language?
00:48:57 <evincar> Apparently PHP'
00:49:03 <evincar> always returns values as strings.
00:49:09 <evincar> Hooray for typos involving newlines.
00:49:19 <evincar> zzo38: Can you give an example?
00:49:25 <Patashu> hmm, wait
00:49:39 <Patashu> if I do (int) $row['enabled'] != 1 does it turn the whole boolean expression into an int or just the left hand?
00:49:40 <Patashu> X.X
00:49:51 <Patashu> maybe that's why
00:50:02 <zzo38> evincar: It is a program I wrote that allows you do that. Currently the only file is internal use at FreeGeek.
00:51:25 <zzo38> But I can explain how it works. A query block must start with #Q and a SQL statement on a line by itself, and then you can have stuff inside, and #Z is end of block. Everything inside is done for each record of output. Lines without # are copied directly to output except for field names in `...`
00:51:29 <Patashu> nope, it's still ont working
00:51:54 <zzo38> You can use #F to define a custom function, which is given a name and a SQL statement that returns one record with one field.
00:52:48 <zzo38> In a function definition, you can use ?1 ?2 ?3 etc to access function parameters. Outside of a function definition, ?1 ?2 ?3 etc access command-line parameters, and you can use $ and a field name to access a field of the result of the query block that this query is inside of.
00:53:25 <evincar> Why wouldn't you appropriate the stored procedure syntax for function definition?
00:53:40 <evincar> You wouldn't create the functions in the database of course, just in the template engine.
00:53:42 <zzo38> SQLite does not have stored procedures.
00:55:44 <evincar> Well, no, but I think it would be nicer to see "#Q create procedure `name` ..." than "#F name ..." or whatever.
00:56:58 <zzo38> I suppose that if you want to modify the program to support other database engines that do have stored procedures, you can do that.
00:57:47 -!- MichaelBurge has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
00:57:58 <evincar> If you wanted to continue using SQLite, you would just need to parse the "create procedure" statement without passing it to the DB engine.
00:58:08 -!- MichaelBurge has joined.
00:58:32 <evincar> And then you would have uniform syntax.
00:58:38 <evincar> Simplifying things.
01:00:31 <evincar> I was doing research for an essay for class, and I came upon a very interesting study from 2001.
01:00:43 <zzo38> I don't even know how stored procedures work in SQL. SQLite has a function in C which is used to create new functions for use by SQL statements.
01:00:54 <evincar> It was studying the language that non-programmers used to specify solutions to programming-style problems.
01:01:52 <evincar> I think it would be interesting to do some research into making a language that adheres as closely as possible to the expectations of beginners.
01:01:54 <zzo38> But I don't know if database engines other than SQLite support the ?1 ?2 $NAME kind of syntax; these are parameters that you must bind using C functions.
01:02:10 <zzo38> evincar: OK, try.
01:02:11 <evincar> I'm not sure. "?" is pretty universal.
01:02:26 <evincar> But I don't know about positional and named arguments.
01:03:37 <evincar> The study found that most people tend to avoid named state, and state in general.
01:03:55 -!- DH____ has joined.
01:04:13 <evincar> They establish solutions through events, constraints, rules, and declarations primarily.
01:04:27 <evincar> Only those things that need to be sequenced are done so explicitly with imperative instructions.
01:04:39 <evincar> In that sense, Haskell is one of the more "natural" languages out there!
01:04:53 <evincar> Though by no means the most natural...
01:05:40 <zzo38> But even Haskell, by itself, does not have events, and does not support complete rule-based and constraint-based programming either

01:11:22 <zzo38> I made the program, it represents floating point literals by the integer value and the ten shift. Such as, (FloatLit 5 (-1)) for "0.5" and (FloatLit 42 0) for "4.2e+01"
01:17:39 <Sgeo|web> I think that's more of a scientific notation storage, considering that floating-point would be... what, similar but in a different base?
01:17:53 * Sgeo|web is unsure
01:24:34 -!- MSleep has changed nick to MDude.
01:26:07 <evincar> Sgeo|web: Floating-point is essentially scientific notation.
01:26:21 <evincar> significand * base ^ exponent
01:26:53 <evincar> All IEEE-754 does is specify a packed storage format, and a base (2).
01:28:00 <evincar> zzo38: Haskell is missing those features, certainly. I was making a comment about how people find mutable state and imperative instructions unnatural.
01:29:53 <evincar> Most of the time, natural language refers to things by class specifiers and set operations.
01:30:14 <zzo38> evincar: OK. I might understand what you meant, then.
01:30:15 <evincar> "Do X to all Y that are Z."
01:30:45 <evincar> Another interesting thing is that people expect time to be continuous.
01:31:28 <evincar> So, for instance, animation should be done through physical analogies, totally hiding the fact that timing is not continuous on a computer.

03:06:17 <CakeProphet> zzo38: I once considered the idea of having nested infix expressions
03:06:25 <CakeProphet> a `f x y` b
03:06:58 <Patashu> I like that
03:09:52 <monqy> a `x `g y` z` b
03:09:57 <monqy> best nesting
03:10:11 <monqy> is that why you stopped considering it?
03:10:41 <monqy> i guess you could require paren usage or think of some fancy new quotes but there aren't enough quote things for it to work??
03:10:47 -!- Madoka-Kaname has joined.
03:10:48 <monqy> it/that
03:10:57 <CakeProphet> monqy: no that actually didn't change my opinion of it at all.
03:11:00 <monqy> oh
03:11:49 <CakeProphet> just a horrid use case that was possible.
03:12:09 <CakeProphet> er ambiguity even.
03:12:27 <monqy> ambiguity is bad??? and shouldn't be allowed to happen???
03:12:40 <CakeProphet> so obviously infix nesting just shouldn't be possible without different quoting.
03:13:12 <monqy> `( and )` would be ok for infix expressions imo

03:14:19 <CakeProphet> hmmm, okay.
03:16:15 <CakeProphet> monqy: ASCII obviously needs more brackets
03:16:19 <CakeProphet> or keyboards need more Unicode.
03:16:30 <CakeProphet> latter is more sensible.
03:16:45 <monqy> I'm fine with `( )`; it's the conclusion i came to when i entertained the idea of infix expressions a while back
03:18:30 <CakeProphet> eh
03:18:39 <CakeProphet> I like the idea of finally incorporating Unicode into programming syntax.
03:19:09 <CakeProphet> in a way that's not annoying.
03:22:14 <monqy> "in a way that's not annoying" good luck
03:22:27 <monqy> what do you mean by that anyway
03:23:17 <CakeProphet> that I can type it on a keyboard.
03:23:30 <CakeProphet> quickly
03:26:03 <augur> CakeProphet: agda has latex-like input
03:26:21 <zzo38> I prefer to do it without Unicode since the ASCII is a simpler code and can be typed more easily too.
03:26:25 <augur> if you type \x you get the cross product x, or if you type \to or \-> you get a right arrow
03:26:33 <augur> and so forth
03:26:42 <augur> mind you this is agda mode for emacs
03:27:08 <zzo38> Unless "-" was made a letter the \-> in TeX would be \- followed by > rather than a single control sequence
03:28:10 <CakeProphet> right I think Unicode can be incorporated into programming but it's something you'd have to do in an interface
03:28:11 <zzo38> You can use TeX to print out a program with fancy symbols and bold and everything, such as WEB.
03:28:30 <CakeProphet> for example ctrl/alt or using numpad keys (since I never use those :P )
03:28:33 <zzo38> Input can be plain ASCII and it can work
03:28:56 <augur> zzo38: i said latex-like
03:29:16 <augur> when you type \-> it gets automatically replaced with the arrow
03:29:23 -!- MDude has changed nick to MSleep.
03:29:30 <zzo38> augur: Does LaTeX redefine "-" to be a letter?
03:29:37 <augur> no its not latex
03:29:42 <augur> it looks like latex
03:29:46 <augur> hence latex-like
03:30:08 <augur> its just an input method for unicode
03:30:21 <augur> it does use all of the standard latex names tho, i think
03:30:28 <augur> so \langle and \rangle work, for instance
03:31:35 <zzo38> CakeProphet: Well, if you have a specific set of symbols you use, you could create a character set for the programming language, and then use CTRL, ALT, and/or function keys, to select the extra characters (you could even have a character with code 1 and use CTRL+A to enter it, for example; or you could use ALT to add 128 so that the high codes in 8-bit are the special ones).
03:31:47 <zzo38> You can convert to/from Unicode if necessary, I suppose.
03:33:19 <zzo38> CWEB will work with Unicode input, but only for identifiers. However you can have macros and formatting codes to make them into operators. (I do not know if WEB has this feature)
03:41:10 <CakeProphet> zzo38: I think Unicode would work best simply because it's an existing standard.
03:41:34 <CakeProphet> I'm must not sure what kind of syntax could be incorporated into a language from Unicode.
03:41:38 <CakeProphet> I don't know much about Unicode.
03:42:13 <zzo38> CakeProphet: I don't think so. Unicode is badly designed.
03:44:17 <CakeProphet> zzo38: in what ways? badly organized? poor arithmetic properties?
03:44:47 <zzo38> All sorts of things. Those are some of them.
03:44:57 <CakeProphet> either way those are ancillary. it offers a large range of standardized characters that already have fonts made for them.
03:45:13 <CakeProphet> that's really all I would need to incorporate more symbols into the syntax of a language.
03:45:49 <zzo38> Yes; unless you need something that Unicode doesn't have (it does not include the complete Commodore 64 character set), in which case you can still use private use blocks but then you would need a font for them.
03:46:13 <zzo38> And sometimes the way variations are selected in Unicode are not exactly as you might want.
03:46:29 <CakeProphet> ...what does the Commodore 64 character set have that I might want?
03:46:51 <CakeProphet> retro hipster cred? :P
03:46:57 <zzo38> Complex scripts result in a lot of difficulties, especially since you need a database to decide what character is processed in what way!
03:47:24 <zzo38> CakeProphet: Probably nothing for what you are trying to make. But it still makes it insufficient.
03:47:53 <CakeProphet> so sufficient = incorporates every arbitrary character set ever made and organizes them sensibly.
03:48:44 <zzo38> Perhaps "insufficient" is the wrong word. But it does make in insufficient for a few uses.
03:52:23 <CakeProphet> so in-all-encompassing. :P
03:52:59 <CakeProphet> I think Unicode is mostly interested in encoding most of the world's writing systems and less about including every computer encoding that ever existed.
03:53:30 <zzo38> It does not even include all writing systems due to people make up their own.
03:54:04 <zzo38> And some people made up the TRON encoding because they dislike the way variation selection works in Unicode (I don't know anything else about TRON).
03:55:11 <CakeProphet> is "oh well it doesn't include every artificial script that <insert some guy> invented" a valid complaint?
03:55:16 <CakeProphet> how do you go about standardizing that?
03:55:30 -!- banjomonster has joined.
03:55:30 <CakeProphet> also the private use block is probably the best way to handle those situations, really.
03:55:35 <zzo38> No you cannot standardize it.
03:55:35 <CakeProphet> so, way to go, Unicode.
03:55:41 <zzo38> That is why the private block exists.
03:55:49 <zzo38> But it still means you need specialized fonts.
03:56:04 -!- banjomonster has left.
03:56:11 <CakeProphet> how do you propose to solve this problem
03:56:45 <zzo38> And you also need to agree on their use (for many invented scripts, there are organizations which specify which Unicode code points correspond to them, but they are not a Unicode standard).
03:57:15 <zzo38> CakeProphet: You have to just do it on each individual case, I suppose. In some cases simply don't use Unicode if Unicode will not help.
03:58:01 <CakeProphet> you could have unicode telnet
03:58:41 <zzo38> Some telnet clients will support Unicode; some of which are part of a terminal emulator and not really part of the telnet client program itself. However, you can also have telnet without unicode.
03:58:52 <CakeProphet> so two abstract devices that are communicating with unicode start a telnet session at which point they can agree on which scripts/non-standard things they're using. :P
03:59:06 <CakeProphet> best solution
03:59:34 <CakeProphet> telnet is best for all porpoise.
03:59:59 <zzo38> Yes, that is one way. But Unicode does not help this at all.
04:00:22 <CakeProphet> right, how could it? without being telnet, of course.
04:00:23 <zzo38> If you need to agree on what you are using anyways, why do you use Unicode?
04:01:03 <CakeProphet> Unicode wiki
04:01:10 <CakeProphet> people can make pages for their scripts
04:01:19 <CakeProphet> and it automatically becomes part of Unicode.
04:01:59 <zzo38> I do not quite consider that the best way either; although in some cases, that might be the way to do it.
04:02:03 <CakeProphet> there's machine readable data to help programs handle the scripts and such.
04:02:21 <zzo38> Yes, if it has the complex script data and character property data.
04:02:36 <CakeProphet> ...it was a joke, really. I don't think the problem you're desribing is completely contrived and is one of the inherent problems of any standard.
04:02:42 <CakeProphet> er
04:02:48 <CakeProphet> I do think it is completely contribed rather
04:02:51 <CakeProphet> *contrived even
04:02:56 <zzo38> But of course that requires that the program access the wiki by internet always to access a file!
04:03:05 <zzo38> Which also is not a good way to do it.
04:03:22 <CakeProphet> best solution: the world is perfect. everything does everything the way you want.
04:03:29 <CakeProphet> problem solved\
04:04:23 <zzo38> The way TeX does it works OK for typesetting; you have a metric file and a METAFONT to generate the font metric and character bitmaps for whatever printer you are using.
04:04:45 -!- oerjan has joined.
04:05:03 <CakeProphet> so you're saying the Unicode standard could include a way to specify typesetting and script data?
04:05:12 <zzo38> No!
04:05:34 <zzo38> I am saying to ignore Unicode for typesetting.
04:05:53 <CakeProphet> I thought we were talking about Ways Unicode Could Be Better
04:06:08 <CakeProphet> is that not what we're talking about?
04:06:14 <CakeProphet> am I missing something?
04:06:19 <CakeProphet> help
04:06:50 <zzo38> Unicode works for some things, but you should not always use it, please.
04:07:16 <CakeProphet> I use Unicode for everything. I draw in Unicode.

It is a sixteen-bit encoding called FBUCE, compatible with printable ASCII, but far simpler than Unicode. However, you usually will use NK encoding which is compatible with ASCII control characters as well as ASCII printable characters.

05:49:20 <Madoka-Kaname> Thanks.
05:51:09 <zzo38> There are things that FBUCE intentionally lacks: character properties, complex script support, variation selectors, right-to-left, etc. FBUCE does, however, support the entire Commodore 64 printable character set. Unlike Unicode, FBUCE would hardly ever be used directly; you normally use a mapping table. FBUCE has 512 defined control characters, though.
05:51:21 <oerjan> and something using a Data.Map.Map can also be useful
05:52:38 <oerjan> Madoka-Kaname: note that groupBy only groups _adjacent_ elements, so it may be necessary to use sortBy first
05:52:39 <zzo38> Sorry, I am wrong. It has 256 control characters.

06:07:34 <Ngevd> Hello!
06:08:13 <oerjan> morning
06:08:34 <oerjan> possibly a good one, even
06:09:30 <Ngevd> I have woken up 5 times today
06:09:56 <oerjan> so now you don't have to wake up for the rest of the week!
06:10:02 <Ngevd> :D
06:10:25 <zzo38> In here it is night time
06:19:10 <zzo38> I have idea functional program representation. data Exp = Apply Exp Exp | Case [(Pat,Exp)] | Global GlobalID | Local LocalID | Literal Literal | Primitive PrimitiveID; data Pat = Constructor ConstructorID [Pat] | LiteralP Literal | LocalP;
06:21:43 <oerjan> zzo38: aren't you missing a LocalID before ; at the end
06:22:29 <zzo38> oerjan: No. The LocalID would be a type synonym for a number, so you select them in order, I think.
06:22:37 <zzo38> Maybe I am wrong, though.
06:23:02 <oerjan> zzo38: but you need to be able to use them in the Exp part of the Case
06:23:45 <zzo38> Well, yes. Maybe you are correct, it should have LocalID there
06:24:02 <oerjan> or you could use deBruijn indices
06:24:14 <zzo38> What are deBruijn indices?
06:24:42 <Ngevd> Special lambda calculus things destroying the need for variables
06:24:55 <oerjan> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Bruijn_index
06:26:10 <zzo38> Something like that, is what I was thinking of.
06:26:59 <oerjan> the thing about these is that you don't just give each variable a fixed number, but you use a number depending on how far away its binding is
06:27:15 <zzo38> But there is still a difference, due to matching constructors with multiple parameters.
06:27:30 <zzo38> oerjan: Yes I understand that; I did read the Wikipedia article now.
06:27:46 <oerjan> yes. but i guess there you'd just have to count the LocalP's in some order
06:28:23 <zzo38> Yes you would have to count them in some order.
06:31:57 <oerjan> Case [(LocalP, e)] would be how you'd express an ordinary lambda expression, i assume
06:32:14 <zzo38> oerjan: Yes. That is my intention.
06:34:38 <Ngevd> Does anyone know of a python module for multiplying matrices?
06:34:57 <zzo38> The program would be represented by a list of expressions (Exp) and the GlobalID type is an index into the program; exported functions are listed first and are in the specific order.
06:35:32 <monqy> Ngevd: for loops (ahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahha)
06:35:46 <monqy> Ngevd: alternative joke: ask #python (ahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahhahah)
06:36:03 <Ngevd> I'm tired and I haven't had breakfast
06:36:04 <monqy> I did not count has so I do not know which of those I laughed more at
06:36:14 <Ngevd> So I will ask Python
06:36:22 <Ngevd> *#python
06:39:14 <oerjan> > let a `mult` b = map (map (zipWith (*)) $ transpose b) a in [[1,0],[0,1],[1,-1]] `mult` [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]]
06:39:15 <lambdabot> Couldn't match expected type `a -> b'
06:39:15 <lambdabot> against inferred type `[[a1] ...
06:39:20 <oerjan> wat
06:39:59 <oerjan> oh
06:42:06 <oerjan> > let a `mult` b = map (\av -> map (zipWith (*) av) $ transpose b) a in [[1,0],[0,1],[1,-1]] `mult` [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]]
06:42:07 <lambdabot> [[[1,0],[2,0],[3,0]],[[0,4],[0,5],[0,6]],[[1,-4],[2,-5],[3,-6]]]
06:42:25 <oerjan> too tired to free the points
06:42:39 <Jafet> > let ass `mult` bss = [[sum $ zipWith (*) as bs | as <- ass] | bs <- transpose bss] in [[1,0],[0,1],[1,-1]] `mult` [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]]
06:42:40 <lambdabot> [[1,4,-3],[2,5,-3],[3,6,-3]]
06:42:53 <Jafet> There, Python code for multiplying matrices
06:42:56 <oerjan> ...and to fix the last bug :P
06:43:30 <oerjan> Jafet: you've nested them in the wrong order
06:43:53 <Jafet> Bah, I thought the type system would catch that.
06:44:06 <oerjan> for integer matrices? :P
06:44:11 <Jafet> > let ass `mult` bss = [[sum $ zipWith (*) as bs | bs <- transpose bss] | as <- ass] in [[1,0],[0,1],[1,-1]] `mult` [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]]

08:32:05 <Ngevd> I just followed my old english teacher on twitter
08:32:18 <Ngevd> That is, a person who used to teach me english
08:32:32 <Ngevd> Not a person who teaches me old english
08:32:36 <pikhq> Shame, too.
08:32:43 <Ngevd> And not an old person who teaches me english
08:32:55 <pikhq> Though understandable; Old English is not *that* well-attested.
08:33:32 <pikhq> It's not like there's going to be many classes for learning how to understand the small handful of things written in it we have.
08:35:34 <Patashu> There are Old English teachers? Never thought about that
08:36:24 <pikhq> It's certainly plausible.
08:36:30 <pikhq> But just barely.
08:36:57 <Patashu> My mother studies the geneology of our family tree, so she has to read centuries old handwriting all the time
08:36:59 <Patashu> I guess that's not THAT old
08:37:13 <Ngevd> How many centuries?
08:37:32 <Patashu> I dunno, 0-3? I'd have to ask her how far back she's ever gone
08:37:40 <Ngevd> That's still modern English
08:37:45 <Patashu> But I see her squinting at things like church marriage records
08:37:46 <Patashu> Yeah
08:37:57 <Patashu> Just hard to read because it's all...curvy and slanted
08:38:00 <Ngevd> I tried to do my family tree
08:38:08 <Ngevd> Didn't get very far
08:40:08 <pikhq> She'd probably have as much trouble today if handwriting weren't outmoded.
08:40:24 <pikhq> Let's face it: unless you're careful, handwriting is pretty hard to read.
08:43:09 <Patashu> My handwriting is irredeemably awful
08:43:22 <Ngevd> Same
08:43:38 <pikhq> My handwriting's quality depends on language.
08:43:53 <pikhq> My English handwriting? Essentially illegible.
08:44:08 <pikhq> My Japanese handwriting? Merely below average.
08:44:39 <Ngevd> My handwriting's legibility is inversely proportional to how fast I write
08:44:50 <pikhq> And yes, English is my native language.
08:44:59 <Ngevd> Which dialect?
08:45:21 <pikhq> Something roughly General American.
08:45:24 <Ngevd> Okay
08:45:35 <Ngevd> I'm roughly general British
08:45:45 <Ngevd> With a small amount of Victorian Australian and Geordie
08:45:52 <pikhq> (General American is an *actual accent*, BTW)
08:46:04 <Ngevd> I knew that
08:46:13 <Ngevd> As far as I know, general British isn;t
08:46:18 <pikhq> Yeah.
08:46:19 <Ngevd> I'm using it to refer to a soft RP
08:46:25 <pikhq> Ah.
08:46:27 <Ngevd> Hence the lower case g
08:46:39 <pikhq> *That* seems like an actual accent, though. :P
08:49:11 <Ngevd> I still don't understand how Red Hot Chilli Peppers manage to rhyme "bra" and "wall"
08:49:58 <Ngevd> But then again, I can rhyme "vampires" with "stairs"
08:52:45 <Ngevd> And I don't understand how I can do that
08:56:00 <Ngevd> This has given me an idea
08:56:05 <Ngevd> An IPA based language
08:56:20 <Ngevd> That enforces pronounceability
08:58:14 <Ngevd> Including the Bilabial percussive
08:59:45 <Patashu> You can't enforce pronounceability
08:59:49 <Patashu> Unless you have like...a pronounciation police
08:59:52 <Patashu> It'll drift anyway
09:00:16 <Ngevd> All programmers must also record an audio version of their program
09:00:20 <Ngevd> Scratch also
09:00:27 <Ngevd> That audio version is the program
09:00:39 <Patashu> LOL
09:01:03 <Patashu> So this is a programming language you can't write in any public place
09:01:08 <Ngevd> Yes
09:01:31 <Patashu> Next, we need a programming language based on the kinect
09:01:34 <Ngevd> Functions are written with a lisp
09:01:39 <Patashu> so that in addition you can't write it while sitting down

18:37:17 <asiekierka> elliott because its a quick hack?
18:37:27 <asiekierka> a very, VERY quick hack?
18:37:30 <asiekierka> Ngevd yes, hi!
18:37:32 <elliott> asiekierka: Yes, so it'd take a lot much more work to type "sudo " and your password than to just run it.
18:37:40 <Ngevd> I used to be called Taneb!
18:37:46 <asiekierka> oh, that's you! hi!
18:37:50 <asiekierka> elliott i can't turn it off now
18:37:55 <asiekierka> the election night is in progress
18:38:08 <ais523> which country's elections?
18:38:12 <asiekierka> Poland
18:38:18 <elliott> I'm still not sure how that makes running it as root /quicker/, but okay.
18:38:51 <asiekierka> still, it does a good job at annoying nerds like us
18:39:37 <elliott> Generally it isn't other people who get annoyed when your system gets compromised due to running things as root.
18:39:50 <asiekierka> it's a tablet
18:39:50 <Ngevd> I HAVE JUST HAD AN IDEA FOR AN ESOTERIC PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
18:39:54 <asiekierka> i don't have anything worthwhile for it
18:40:06 <Ngevd> ONE THAT CAN EMBED MANY OTHER ESOTERIC PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES!
18:40:15 <asiekierka> not like you can't copy the plaintext passwords android stores without root
18:40:40 <elliott> I'm... pretty sure you can't.
18:40:50 <olsner> it's important to point it out to anyone doing stuff as root, so that you have the right to say "we told you so" when they do get compromised
18:40:59 <asiekierka> i AM aware of it
18:41:02 <asiekierka> and i am aware of the dangers
18:41:09 <elliott> THE DANGERS(TM)
18:41:19 <monqy> the dangers(tm)
18:41:22 <asiekierka> i hope there are no grues around here
18:41:38 <monqy> eHHHHHHHH?
18:42:12 <olsner> asiekierka: whether you're already aware of The Dangers is irrelevant, we have to tell you anyway
18:42:31 <asiekierka> feel free to compromise my system, then
18:42:52 <asiekierka> acquire IP by whois
18:43:16 <monqy> good ideas for good people
18:43:21 <olsner> but then it'd partially be my fault you get compromised
18:44:09 <elliott> olsner: it's considered acceptable to -- as they call it in the hood -- "own someone's b0xx" -- if they have disclosed they are being an idiot as root
18:44:24 <asiekierka> well go for it
18:44:32 <asiekierka> the only thing running as root right now is a wget process
18:44:35 <asiekierka> the URL is disclosed
18:44:50 <asiekierka> if you want to hijack my WRT54GC router, the wifi is open (my DS only supports WEP and WEP is useless) somewhere in Poland
18:45:10 <asiekierka> my ISP's domain name in the IP leaks the town
18:45:14 <asiekierka> you just need to find the hotspot
18:45:19 <asiekierka> as the tablet will be up for 10 more hours
18:45:22 <asiekierka> that gives you plenty of time
18:45:39 <monqy> ok
18:46:11 <asiekierka> just... dont stop that wget
18:46:14 <asiekierka> the recording is important for me
18:46:23 <monqy> "please stop that wget i beg you"

19:15:52 <elliott> monqy: What's an alphabetical letter.
19:16:31 <monqy> q?????? or maybe q is not an alhbeptical lette.r.
19:16:41 <monqy> a is a safe bet, i think
19:17:31 <elliott> monqy: i went for q but shachaf said ... that that was ... taken ...
19:17:34 <elliott> q is my favourite letter though
19:17:40 <monqy> :(
19:17:44 <monqy> is q really taken
19:17:47 <monqy> or is shachaf a
19:17:48 <monqy> liar
19:17:54 <elliott> i dont know he said qhc was taken....
19:18:04 <elliott> also disadvantage of qhc: when module-named as Qhc it's not quite as nice
19:18:07 <elliott> (QHC is worse)
19:18:25 <monqy> eww capital q
19:18:27 <elliott> (jhc has this problem too, Jhc is a pretty bad module name, it solves this by putting most things in a different top-level)
19:18:34 <elliott> (like "E", "E" is one of jhc's module names)
19:18:40 <elliott> (well actually I think it's all E.Something but still)
19:18:47 <monqy> what is a letter which looks good as caps
19:19:12 <monqy> and good as lowers
19:19:14 <monqy> yhc seems like the sort of thing that would be taken..

19:26:40 <elliott> ok
19:26:42 <elliott> monqy: http://sprunge.us/GHiL
19:26:58 <elliott> (shachaf says thc and qhc are both taken by probably-dead projects I think.........)
19:29:24 <CakeProphet> xhc is good.
19:29:33 <monqy> Phc and Thc almost look ok but capital letters are really gross ew
19:30:23 <CakeProphet> ....
19:30:37 <CakeProphet> I don't see how any of these are more gross than any other.
19:30:59 <CakeProphet> except the voweled ones.
19:31:09 <CakeProphet> ihc, ahc, ehc.
19:31:11 <CakeProphet> well ohc is okay
19:31:21 <CakeProphet> uhc is... uhc
19:31:42 <CakeProphet> but yeah you definitely want eXtreme Haskell Compiler.
19:32:07 <monqy> yhc and qhc and uhc and ghc and maybe dhc are the best for lowercase
19:32:18 <monqy> nothing is really good uppercase
19:32:32 <elliott> monqy: i linked to the untaken ones...
19:32:37 <elliott> because you just listed... two taken ones....
19:32:38 <monqy> yes i know
19:32:44 <monqy> i know
19:32:46 <elliott> right
19:32:48 <monqy> that was intentional
19:32:57 <monqy> comment on aesthetic not what to take
19:33:03 <elliott> monqy: if I was going for thc I would go THC uppercase, but it is... too pun even for me.................................
19:33:17 <elliott> CakeProphet also listed two taken ones
19:33:26 <CakeProphet> ZHC
19:33:29 <elliott> phc is pretty nice, and PHC isn't too bad
19:33:38 <CakeProphet> yeah that one's okay.
19:35:40 <CakeProphet> elliott: Chc is gross.
19:36:01 <elliott> no shit
19:36:19 <CakeProphet> Nhc and Mhc actually isn't too bad, I think.
19:36:37 <CakeProphet> Dhc too.
19:37:41 <CakeProphet> Lhc = lulz
19:38:07 <Phantom_Hoover> Someone discussing my compiler?
19:38:43 <CakeProphet> maybe? we're mostly discussing the aesthetics of titlecase haskell compiler acronyms...
19:39:07 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: ?
19:39:25 <CakeProphet> dhc Dhc DHC -- not bad
19:39:44 <Phantom_Hoover> <elliott> phc is pretty nice, and PHC isn't too bad
19:39:53 <CakeProphet> ah
19:40:05 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: Did you reserve that name : ' (
19:40:14 <CakeProphet> >_>
19:40:18 <CakeProphet> wait for it.
19:40:23 <Ngevd> *P*hantom *H*oover *C*ompiler
19:40:29 <elliott> yes i know
19:40:33 <elliott> i'm just asking if Phantom_Hoover has actually used it
19:40:50 <CakeProphet> you're asking if there's a phantom hoover compiler?
19:40:54 <CakeProphet> ...
19:40:54 <elliott> ...
19:40:56 <Phantom_Hoover> Yes, it's the... um...
19:41:02 <elliott> CakeProphet: Stop being dense.
19:41:38 <CakeProphet> elliott: noep
19:41:44 <Ngevd> Does it have to be *HC?
19:41:45 <CakeProphet> obviously a ridiculous question.
19:41:51 <Ngevd> Why not *CfH?
19:42:03 <CakeProphet> well as far as acronym expansion you can pretty much always get away with recursion.
19:42:13 <CakeProphet> DHC = DHC Haskell Compiler
19:42:28 <Ngevd> *CfH = *CfH compiler for Haskell
19:43:01 <pikhq> Better still: HaskellC
19:43:09 <elliott> pikhq: grose, imgagery
19:43:33 <CakeProphet> LHC = Large Hadron Collider Haskell Compiler
19:43:34 <pikhq> Invoking the Gregor compiler notation.
19:43:39 <CakeProphet> LHC Haskell Compiler for short
19:43:42 <pikhq> Okay, CakeProphet wins.
19:43:57 <elliott> CakeProphet: I removed LHC from the "unused" list for a reason.
19:44:16 <elliott> pikhq: When has Gregor used that?
19:44:26 <pikhq> elliott: plofc
19:44:34 <elliott> That's lowercase. :p
19:44:39 <pikhq> That's me being lazy.
19:44:40 <pikhq> :P
19:44:47 <elliott> Anyway, plofc should be a C interpreter written in Plof.
19:44:52 <elliott> Evidence: {c,d}plof
19:44:59 <pikhq> Bah, right.
19:45:03 <CakeProphet> elliott: but it's definitely the best name for a haskell compiler.
19:45:10 <elliott> CakeProphet: It's also taken.
19:45:20 <pikhq> LHCHC is taken?
19:45:36 <CakeProphet> is it taken by a haskell compiler? I think you're allowed to re-use acronyms
19:45:47 <pikhq> Hmm. 米HC. There.
19:45:49 <CakeProphet> pikhq: well no it would be LHC
19:45:56 <CakeProphet> but it could be LHCHC I guess
19:46:06 <pikhq> The American Haskell Compiler. 米HC for short.
19:47:17 <CakeProphet> pikhq: LHC would be short for LHC Haskell Compiler, which is short for... yeah.
19:47:20 <CakeProphet> you got it.
19:47:49 <Ngevd> Call it "Hird's Compiler for Haskell"
19:47:57 <Ngevd> Then for bonus points port it to Hurd
19:48:34 <Phantom_Hoover> The Jeff Bridges Haskell Compiler, or 男円HC.
19:48:42 <CakeProphet> ...
19:48:49 <pikhq> Phantom_Hoover: That... Doesn't make sense.
19:48:54 <pikhq> Man-money?
19:48:55 <Phantom_Hoover> No, you're right.
19:49:08 <Phantom_Hoover> 円男HC.
19:49:13 <pikhq> Money-man?
19:49:21 <Phantom_Hoover> No, Tron-man.
19:49:24 <pikhq> Either that or circle-man.
19:49:28 <pikhq> Um.
19:49:29 <pikhq> No.
19:49:33 <Phantom_Hoover> Yes.
19:49:47 <CakeProphet> what does that have to do with Jeff Bridges..
19:50:05 <pikhq> Beats me.
19:50:17 <CakeProphet> DHC = The Dude Haskell Compiler
19:50:21 <Phantom_Hoover> "Some of his best-known films include Tron,"
19:50:35 <CakeProphet> oh okay.
19:50:43 * CakeProphet does not know the best-known films then.

19:54:18 <CakeProphet> elliott: would it be unacceptable to use all uppercase for the module name?
19:54:27 <elliott> CakeProphet: "Qhc" is unacceptable.
19:54:35 <elliott> "QHC" as much so.
19:54:35 <CakeProphet> er, I mean QHC
19:54:36 <elliott> Other names may be acceptable uppercase.
19:54:38 <CakeProphet> oh okay.
19:54:45 <CakeProphet> I mean like...
19:54:53 <CakeProphet> is that acceptable for naming conventions.
19:54:58 <CakeProphet> to name modules in all caps.
19:55:03 <elliott> For instance phc/PHC is acceptable.
19:55:06 <elliott> Phc is not.
19:55:40 <CakeProphet> I don't really see the problem with LHC. Acronyms are re-used all the time...

21:26:01 <elliott> Deewiant: shiro, mchost
21:26:01 <monqy> mchost, elliottcraft, @
21:26:13 <monqy> aqh,.. shiro
21:26:19 <elliott> aqh?
21:26:27 <monqy> trying to type ahh but it came out wronge
21:28:28 <elliott> Totally demand Deewiant retract his indignance
21:28:44 <monqy> is mchost successful?
21:28:57 <Deewiant> I wasn't indignant, I just forgot about shiro
21:29:12 <elliott> monqy: It's at a pretty good stage and has had sustained development for quite a while, so sure
21:29:24 <monqy> good
21:29:25 <elliott> Obviously it's not "done" but neither is Shiro :P
21:29:28 <Patashu> woah, what the hell? jigglypuff is top tier in ssbm now
21:30:45 <elliott> Hmm, I think a lexical context stack in Haskell is really easy
21:30:57 <Patashu> http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=294748
21:31:13 <CakeProphet> Patashu: wat
21:31:24 <elliott> Just push name, file, line and column information whenever you see a definition, and pop it when it ends, and the stack's state when you look at a definition is the lexical context.
21:31:26 <elliott> You can even include lambdas.
21:31:38 <CakeProphet> Patashu: my guess is some kind of lame infinite chaingrab combo thing
21:31:40 <CakeProphet> or something.
21:31:54 <Patashu> maybe people figured out how to use rest proly
21:32:57 <Phantom_Haskell> Jigglypuff has always been stupidly high-tier.
21:33:17 <Patashu> Yeah but I mean
21:33:19 <Patashu> fox tier?!?
21:33:42 <Phantom_Haskell> It used to be because she had one or two boring air combos.
21:34:04 <CakeProphet> (unrelated) ness has the best air moves in brawl...
21:34:13 <CakeProphet> er, I mean, not the best. they're just good.
21:34:29 <Phantom_Haskell> Will you please stop being such a Ness fanboy.
21:34:45 <CakeProphet> you just don't understand man
21:34:50 <CakeProphet> PSYCHIC JAPANESE BOYS YESSSS
21:35:14 <Phantom_Haskell> This sounds like the kind of unsettling thing Madoka-Kaname says.
21:35:15 <monqy> japanese?
21:36:26 <Phantom_Haskell> CakeProphet, yes, what monqy said, we all know Ness is from whatever it was called.
21:36:34 <monqy> eagleland was it
21:38:17 <Phantom_Haskell> Yeah, I wasn't sure.
21:38:36 <CakeProphet> no he's obviously Japanese
21:38:45 <CakeProphet> he just lives in a fantasy world.
21:38:52 <CakeProphet> but is still Japanese.
21:39:19 <CakeProphet> in much the same way that everyone is Anglo-Saxon in LotR.

21:45:03 <CakeProphet> New Pork City is a deep metaphorical exposition on obesity in America.
21:45:37 <CakeProphet> I'm currently writing my thesis on symbology in the earthbound series.
21:45:46 <monqy> ok
21:47:39 <CakeProphet> does anyone die and then come back to life to save the world?
21:47:42 <CakeProphet> that's insta-Jesus reference.
21:48:23 <monqy> ok
21:50:45 <CakeProphet> monqy: are you Jesus?
21:51:38 <CakeProphet> maybe are you Jesus&?
21:52:12 <zzo38> Can any Haskell compiler have something to compile into like the representation I have described for functional programming? It is not the same as GHC Core; mine lacks unsafe functions, casts, let, source info, and other things. The program is a list of expressions, a GlobalID indexes the program, and exported functions are given GlobalID numbers.
21:53:02 <CakeProphet> zzo38: not any, no.
21:53:09 <CakeProphet> ..
21:53:44 <zzo38> Would you know how such a thing could be made, or whether any Haskell compiler has similar features?
21:56:18 <CakeProphet> zzo38: I would need to know more about the intermediate form and how it works to answer the first question. and no I don't know the answer to the second question
21:56:26 <CakeProphet> Muxin Wang.
21:57:06 <CakeProphet> zzo38: how do you do let?
21:57:41 <elliott> CakeProphet: You can transform let to lambda.
21:57:48 <elliott> You can even then eliminate lambda by doing lambda-lifting if you want.
21:58:15 <zzo38> I posted the representation I had idea of, on this IRC, yesterday.
21:58:21 <CakeProphet> elliott: I thought about lambda but how do you do things like mutual recursion?
21:58:29 <elliott> Well, that was let, not letrec.
21:58:45 <elliott> CakeProphet: Just float them to the top level with lambda-lifting.
21:59:04 <zzo38> It did not actually have lambdas, instead it used Case [(LocalP, e)] for a lambda expression.
21:59:10 <elliott> e.g.: Add every variable in scope as an argument to the definitions in the "let", float out to top level, eliminate unused parameters.
22:00:07 <zzo38> And a global is still capable of referencing itself; it also has support to have primitives if you need them.

22:54:53 <monqy> P is better than Q in this font at least but q is better than p aaaghhh
22:55:13 <monqy> especially next to h, q is so much better
22:55:22 <Madoka-Kaname> Hopefully I didn't spew this in here:
22:55:24 <monqy> by next to i mean as in qh not hq

22:57:04 <CakeProphet> I like how the alternating case doesn't alternate across double consonants.
22:57:17 <CakeProphet> nice choice.
22:57:27 <CakeProphet> since we're discussing the aesthetics of letters and case.
22:57:33 <CakeProphet> for some reason.
22:58:32 <CakeProphet> elliott: Hhc

22:58:50 <elliott> Madoka-Kaname: is that your pass
22:58:56 <elliott> word
22:58:58 <CakeProphet> I doubt it.
22:58:59 <elliott> also
22:59:03 <elliott> Madoka-Kaname: learn to reisub nub
22:59:20 <Madoka-Kaname> Sysrq disabled.
22:59:50 <elliott> Madoka-Kaname: why
22:59:58 <Madoka-Kaname> Because Debian default, and too lazy to fix it.
23:00:00 <CakeProphet> elliott: oh neat.
23:00:17 <elliott> Madoka-Kaname: echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
23:00:25 <Madoka-Kaname> I know.
23:00:29 <Madoka-Kaname> Still need to put it into init or something.
23:01:06 <elliott> Madoka-Kaname: echo '/proc/sys/kernel/sysrq = 1' >>/etc/sysctl.conf
23:01:22 <elliott> EXTREME DIFFICULTY
23:01:36 <elliott> oh hmm
23:01:42 <elliott> echo 'sys.kernel.sysrq = 1' >>/etc/sysctl.conf
23:01:46 <elliott> my badde
23:01:53 <Madoka-Kaname> ^^;
23:02:08 <elliott> do it now or i will most verily get mad
23:02:28 <CakeProphet> elliott: is it on by default in ubuntu?
23:03:11 <elliott> tias
23:03:20 <elliott> else... maybe... cat /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq??????
23:03:54 <CakeProphet> 1
23:04:06 <CakeProphet> also I dislike remembering your obscure acronyms.
23:04:59 <CakeProphet> also I believe I've already mentioned tihs

23:39:45 <elliott> monqy: phc or qhc....
23:39:53 <elliott> and then Phc/PHC or Qhc/QHC for the module name
23:40:14 <elliott> phc -- the open source PHP compiler
23:40:14 <elliott> www.phpcompiler.org/
23:40:15 <elliott> 20 Sep 2011 – What is phc? phc is an open source compiler for PHP with support for plugins. In addition, it can be used to pretty-print or obfuscate PHP code, ...
23:40:19 <elliott> monqy: oh man, now you only have one question to answer
23:40:21 <elliott> monqy: Qhc or QHC
23:40:24 <monqy> aaaaaaaaa
23:40:44 <elliott> is that aaaaaaaaa to the question or to phc
23:40:47 <monqy> they're both ugly in their own special ways ;_;
23:40:51 <monqy> to the qusetion
23:41:41 <monqy> Qhc is imbalance but QHC has lots of caps
23:42:02 <monqy> what do the other compilers use?
23:42:12 <monqy> inconsistent across them?
23:43:01 -!- sllide has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
23:43:12 <elliott> jhc uses Jhc for like primitive parts of its standard library, and unprefixed things for others like FrontEnd.Blah and E.Blah; GHC uses GHC for primitive parts of its standard library and non-portable stuff, and maybe parts of the compiler I dunno, and doesn't have a prefix outside of that
23:44:43 <monqy> decisions :(
23:44:59 <elliott> I could look at UHC I guess
23:45:03 <elliott> even if it is.... Utrehct.............
23:45:08 <elliott> monqy: oh and Yhc uses Yhc but it's /called/ Yhc
23:45:13 <elliott> (jhc is called jhc and GHC is called GHC)
23:46:32 <elliott> wow how the fuck is this thing organised
23:46:48 <elliott> ok i have no idea about uhc
23:47:04 <monqy> utrehct
23:47:29 <elliott> yes
23:47:30 <elliott> utrecht
23:49:58 <elliott> monqy: qhc or QHC HELp[;,............
23:49:59 <elliott> erm
23:49:59 <elliott> Qhc
23:50:04 <elliott> i'm leaning towards Qhc because QHC yuck
23:50:21 <monqy> ok
23:50:49 <elliott> monqy: ehpl
23:51:15 <CakeProphet> QHC is way better than Qhc
23:51:20 <monqy> im bad at leaning when both are so yukc.....but if there must be a choice,,,
23:52:05 <monqy> if only lowercase module names :(
23:52:18 <monqy> qHC (dont worrY: im just kidding)
23:52:29 <monqy> (ha ha h ha)
23:56:33 <elliott> CakeProphet: except the name of the compiler is qhc
