Quite a high percentage that time.) 12:36:54 elliott: hmmm, okay. 12:37:03 Where do you look up criticism of a thing (this is an honest question; I have never been able to work this out)? 12:37:05 Phantom_Hoover: Google "X sucks". 12:37:26 `run words --ogerman 25 12:37:33 mark beeinblattseiträge teur sackerlicht heitellingeschichtsvorat bau gauswocherat frageerschzeitleiden übert doktagsfaktiviehuh entaubwand lobat tonne verwahlt extmarschung wegungsplander warenntlos haustralb inflanschaltwick fehlerquäle pochst laggezähnenblößer hineuwachdro kühlugließen elagt 12:37:35 Not one of the results that come up first on my screen pertain to the X window system. 12:37:42 "Ubuntu and Linux Mint adopt radically different update strategies.

So clearly they've whitewashed it. 12:40:07 Qedd. 12:40:28 elliott: should I maybe try Arch or will I break everything? 12:40:31 I bet I'll break everything. 12:40:41 Wondering why I switched to DDG, struggling to come up with a good answer. 12:41:12 kallisti: You will, yes. 12:41:30 elliott: but I bet there's resources on how to not break everything. 12:41:34 kallisti: But you could use it as an opportunity to escape shitty DEs (while breaking everything). 12:41:35 I could LEARN STUFF YEAAAAAH 12:41:38 And yes, there are, but you're an idiot. 12:42:03 I'm not completely stupid. 12:42:20 I see. 12:42:47 https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_Installation_Guide 12:42:50 looks promising. 12:43:15 I'm not helping you if you fuck it up. 12:43:29 okay 12:43:35 I'll set it up on my external. 12:45:07 Sigh, after me and another guy collectively spend paragraphs and paragraphs explaining to this guy why he doesn't want existentials, he posts again saying "hey I fixed it now, I'm gonna put it on Hackage, what do you think!!" without actually listening. 12:47:47 elliott: did you have any trouble with wireless? 12:47:54 (while installing Arch) 12:48:39 I don't use wireless on this machine. You should plug your computer into Ethernet. 12:48:43 At least while installing. 12:48:54 There is no chance whatsoever the tiny livecd has any wifi drivers. 12:49:09 I figured. 12:49:20 I was going to go with core anyway, just to see if it came with wifi. 12:51:15 kallisti: Core? 12:52:02 Utnubbu netinst disc didn't have drivers for my wired Ethernet; that was the strangest. 12:52:31 People netinstall Ubuntu? 12:52:37 elliott: there's "net" and "core" with core supplying extra packages and net being the barebones net install. 12:53:27 Well I certainly wasn't going to download a DVD's worth of stuff. 12:53:31 kallisti: Oh. 12:53:34 kallisti: You want the netinstall. 12:53:40 most likely. 12:53:43 core will just make you download everything again afterwards on the first -Syu. 12:53:52 I /guess/ I can walk over to an ethernet cable. sheesh. so demanding. 12:53:52 fizzie: ...Ubuntu is a 600 meg CD ISO... 12:54:40 Allows you to change your editor preference. You'll have the choice between nano and vi (and pico/joe/vim if you install those in a separate console). You can skip this menu, but you will be asked again when needed. 12:54:44 ARCH HATES EMACS. 12:54:56 elliott: Well, yeah, but the 'minimal' CD is still much smaller. Anyway, the 'alternate' CD -- which is the only way to do some installations, isn't it? -- didn't have the driver either. 12:55:25 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/560249 -- and apparently no-one seems to be fixing it, since according to the last message 11.10 alternate CD is still lacking it. 12:55:49 this is a very very good installation guide. 12:56:28 (The "desktop" CD I think does have it, which is a bit weird.) 12:57:15 hmmm so I could actually just dd the image onto my external. 12:57:34 kallisti: which would leave you unable to install it onto your external. 12:57:40 Because the external would be being used. To install it. 12:57:52 right but it says the image is an Arch system 12:57:56 so... that would install it for me. 12:58:21 ... 12:58:42 kallisti: Here's my new strategy: Instead of explaining things to you, which would make me want to die, I will just say "no" whenever you should not do something for very good reasons. 12:58:46 Here's how I start: 12:58:48 kallisti: No. 12:59:40 kallisti: Unless you want your system to never grow beyond ~100 megs. 12:59:49 kallisti: And be preconfigured solely for the purpose of running an installer. 13:00:01 And have essential system configuration not done properly because the installer does that. 13:00:04 And ... 13:00:29 The images run like any regular installed Arch Linux system. 13:00:29 In fact, they're exactly the same, just installed to a CD or USB image instead of a hard disk. 13:00:32 They include the entire "base" package set, as well as various networking utilities and drivers and have the aif package installed. 13:01:25 kallisti: Dude... stop trying to prove someone who actually runs an Arch system and has used the installer about 10 times wrong by quoting a wiki page that is intended for people trying to install the system in a normal way. 13:01:32 Yes it is a LiveCD. Yes that's completely fucking irrelevant. 13:02:18 The partition is a 100 megabyte CD filesystem (not anything reasonable or Linuxy), non-resizable. You will have to manually edit config files without knowing which ones you need to touch to stop it being the installation CD. It prints out "here's how to install" messages when you log in; you would have to manually remove those. 13:02:25 There are so many fucking ways in which that is a completely terrible idea. 13:02:34 Do it if you want but you'll be a complete idiot. 13:02:41 It was not so much attempting to prove you wrong as it was presenting what I saw as a discrepency. 13:04:25 ISO9660 filesystem, in addition to being non-resizable, is also non-writable, which might be a bit of an issue. 13:05:30 fizzie: I thiiink it might be used to contain an image which is mounted in RAM. 13:05:41 fizzie: At least you can install packages on it (I installed w3m and irssi to view the wiki and IRC). 13:05:47 Sure, if you never want to make permanent modifications to it. 13:05:56 Right. 13:20:00 eng-fiction and eng-gb always finish first and then I'm stuck with eng-all, eng-1M, and eng-us for a few hours each taking about half a gig of memory. 13:23:53 03:30:21: kallisti: change of power balance, duh 13:24:01 thank you, i wasn't sure if everyone else was as dumb as kallisti 13:24:23 -!- nooga has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds). 13:26:22 -!- Slereah has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds). 13:26:36 03:53:39: Is this the proper way to derivative of list type? newtype List' x = List' (Either (x, List' x) [x]); 13:26:57 yes 13:27:20 i dunno what the algorithms look like for that 13:27:35 -!- nooga has joined. 13:27:36 but you can probably mangle it into something more traditional algebraically.... 13:27:38 *... 13:27:51 elliott: why would anyone seize control of power when there is /infinite amounts of energy/.. you can share it endlessly and still be infinitely prosperous. 13:27:59 kallisti: you're an idiot 13:27:59 also 13:28:01 04:15:29: eh I don't like LXDE 13:28:01 04:15:44: What about ..

LDC's catalog entry says the total number of tokens for the "Web 1T" is 1,306,807,412,486. So it's about 3.6 times larger in terms of total numbers of words read in to make it. 14:35:30 In terms of unique tokens, the difference might be... different. 14:36:18 fizzie: Well, "size of resulting RCT" is mostly what I care about. 14:36:33 So "number of 5-grams" is presumably the best approximation for comparison. 14:36:39 But yes. 14:36:51 I guess I'll build it the big-but-fast way and measure(tm0. 14:36:52 *tm). 14:37:21 Sadly, the googlebooks dataset doesn't give out a count of 5-grams. 14:37:56 And you can't just sum up the number of lines in those 800 cvs files, since it's got all those per-year rows. 14:38:18 (Plus I don't have those 800 files.) 14:43:32 -!- Ngevd has joined. 14:43:59 Hello! 14:44:57 fungot, hello! 14:44:58 Ngevd: mr president, this report takes on a real and efficient internal market required that those rules already apply to average emissions from some refineries. part two of 18 and to reduce the length of the terms of the treaty, but allow me to refer to this post as ' chair' of the budget where we think it would be good to start this process. 14:45:04 ^style 14:45:04 Available: agora alice c64 ct darwin discworld europarl* ff7 fisher fungot homestuck ic irc iwcs jargon lovecraft nethack pa qwantz sms speeches ss wp youtube 14:51:17 09:32 < elliott> And I don't really want to have to buy a 2 terabyte external disk; do they even *exist*? 14:51:20 yes 14:51:28 (obviously etc) 14:51:49 kallisti: Shut up, I remember 2 terabyte /internal/ disks being newfangled only a few years ago. 14:52:16 wow, what an old codger. get with the times, bro. 14:53:15 09:24 < rottenrec> anyone here do penetration testing, copywriting, or have extensive online marketing experience ? 14:53:20 looooool. 14:53:26 I should be like "what needs penetrating 14:53:28 ?" 14:53:28 Maybe you meant: . ? @ v 15:03:58 -!- MSleep has changed nick to MDude. 15:17:17 * Phantom__Hoover → Ireland 15:17:18 -!- Phantom__Hoover has quit (Quit: Leaving). 15:32:46 -!- incomprehensibly has joined. 15:56:34 elliott, kallisti: I have a 3TB internal disk :) 15:58:28 Gregor: Enjoy bad cost:space ratio 15:58:49 Also reduced reliability (at least ISTR hearing that the 2 terabyte disks were pretty unreliable back when they came out) 15:59:38 I will, thank you. 16:29:48 elliott, it it cost:space efficient if you count the physical space it fills in your computer :P 16:30:22 given that 2 * 1.5 TB would fill twice as much space 16:31:11 also hi 16:35:24 Hi. 16:43:25 kallisti: ARE YOU READY 16:46:17 Gregor: But are you, in fact, paying for four gigabytes of prgmr? 16:47:45 fizzie: wat 16:59:18 fizzie is master of all wats ;_; 17:21:25 -!- oerjan has joined. 17:21:34 Hello oerjan! 17:21:44 g'day Ngevd 17:22:40 Aw, no Norwegian? oerjan's going to be so disappointed. <-- uff da. 17:29:50 > let bjoin ll = case group $ map length ll of { _:_:_ -> error "Nonrectangular list"; _ -> concat $ transpose ll }; x = [[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]]; y = [[7,8],[9,10],[11,12]]; z = [[13],[14],[15],[16],[17],[18]] in [pl | pl <- permutations [x,y,z], bjoin (map bjoin pl) == bjoin (map (bjoin . map bjoin) [[x,y],[z]]] 17:29:51 : parse error on input `]' 17:30:29 > let bjoin ll = case group $ map length ll of { _:_:_ -> error "Nonrectangular list"; _ -> concat $ transpose ll }; x = [[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]]; y = [[7,8],[9,10],[11,12]]; z = [[13],[14],[15],[16],[17],[18]] in [pl | pl <- permutations [x,y,z], bjoin (map bjoin pl) == bjoin (map (bjoin . map bjoin) [[x,y],[z]]) ] 17:30:31 *Exception: Nonrectangular list 17:30:35 argh 17:31:48 > let bjoin ll = case group $ map length ll of { _:_:_ -> error $ "Nonrectangular list " ++ show ll; _ -> concat $ transpose ll }; x = [[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]]; y = [[7,8],[9,10],[11,12]]; z = [[13],[14],[15],[16],[17],[18]] in [pl | pl <- permutations [x,y,z], bjoin (map bjoin pl) == bjoin (map (bjoin . map bjoin) [[x,y],[z]]) ] 17:31:50 *Exception: Nonrectangular list [[1,7,3,9,5,11,2,8,4,10,6,12],[13,14,15,16,... 17:32:43 > let bjoin ll = case group $ map length ll of { _:_:_ -> error $ "Nonrectangular list " ++ show ll; _ -> concat $ transpose ll }; x = [[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]]; y = [[7,8],[9,10],[11,12]]; z = [[13],[14],[15],[16],[17],[18]] in [pl | pl <- permutations [x,y,z], bjoin (map (bjoin . map bjoin) pl) == bjoin (map (bjoin . map bjoin) [[x,y],[z]]) ] 17:32:44 No instance for (GHC.Num.Num [a]) 17:32:44 arising from a use of `e_1123456789101... 17:32:57 wat 17:34:07 Gregor: But are you, in fact, paying for four gigabytes of prgmr? // 25GB 17:34:23 And I'm paying for the server, not the HD, although I keep running out. 17:46:38 {-# LANGUAGE TypeOperators, Arrows, TypeFamilies, FlexibleContexts, GADTs, RankNTypes #-} 17:46:41 Awww yeah 17:50:41 -!- PiRSquaredAway has changed nick to PiRSquared17. 18:05:33 -!- Madoka-Kaname has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 18:09:36 -!- azaq23 has joined. 18:10:08 Gregor: I meant RAM. 18:12:03 HackEgo's on a prgmr VPS, isn't it?

(CPU scheduling weights equal RAM amounts.) 18:12:04 Though who knows, maybe Gregor's paying for four gigabytes or something. 18:18:45 fizzie: They're not that bad at computational power... 18:19:04 Not *bad*, but not good either; I've seen benchmarks. 18:19:05 fizzie: They're a bit slower than Linode when congestion is low, and a hell of a lot more reliable under congestion. 18:19:13 I am basing this on an Actual Benchmark(tm) I saw once. 18:19:27 I've seen some benchmarks by disinterested third parties. 18:19:30 fizzie: http://journal.uggedal.com/vps-performance-comparison/ 18:19:48 That looks very familiar. 18:20:32 Anyway, first graph: Unixbench single process score, it's... somewhere a bit over 200, vs. Linode's 723. 18:20:35 * elliott is summarising the results without re-reading them, though, so the passing of time may have made his reporting shoddy. 18:21:08 fizzie: Here's one that talks about peak-vs-whatever performance: http://journal.uggedal.com/vps-comparison-between-slicehost-and-prgmr/ 18:21:11 Just slicehost vs. prgmr, though. 18:21:19 And slicehost are slow as shit. 18:21:28 Yeah, and also very variable. 18:21:44 Hmm, that actually shows prgmr slower than slicehost during congestion :) 18:21:51 I say: Too many variables. 18:22:25 fizzie: Anyway, prgmr also happen to be very generous with RAM at the price-points they're at, so it's a bit of an unfair comparison. 18:23:02 Anyway, since prgmr CPU scheduler is weighted by ram size, if you have 256M out of a 32G server, that's one 128th of a (admittedly several-core) server if you happen to get neighbours who mine bitcoins all day. 18:23:12 Linode 512 megs RAM, 20 gigs storage, 200 gigs traffic, $19.95/mo; prgmr 1024 megs RAM, 24 gigs storage, 160 gigs traffic, $20/mo; prgmr would have to be pretty darn slow not to come out on top there. 18:23:21 They're certainly very efficient if you start counting $s, that's very sure. 18:23:22 (Or maybe you have a really easy-to-serve but massive-traffic website and those 40 gigs are everything. :p) 18:23:52 fizzie: They don't pack their servers that much 18:23:56 Their blog has server specs, IIRC 18:24:08 I don't recall hearing anything about 32 gig monsters :) 18:24:35 http://blog.prgmr.com/xenophilia/2011/05/i-am-replacing-table-tonight.html ;; this talks about RAM sizes. 18:24:51 So more like 16 gigs than 32. 18:25:02 And >4 cores, at least that machine is. 18:25:40 fizzie: Also I'm not sure how acceptable mining bitcoins 24/7 would be: 18:25:41 9. To knowingly engage in any activities designed to harass, or that will cause a denial-of-service (e.g., synchronized number sequence attacks) to any other user whether on the prgmr.com network or on another provider's network is prohibited. 18:25:41 10. Using prgmr.com's Services to interfere with the use of the prgmr.com network by other customers or authorized users is prohibited. 18:25:44 but of course these things are vague as always. 18:28:08 fizzie: (Also a VPS sounds really suboptimal for mining bitcoins, since they don't usually have beefy GPUs. :p) 18:29:52 09:43:45: I just picked whatever elliott's "mchost" had for the low-level. 18:29:55 fizzie: It's the cereal package. 18:30:48 Anyhoo, my 256M virtubox is on an Opteron 6128, apparently, so 8 cores, but I don't suppose a Xen domU can really ask the dom0 about how much physical memory the box in total has. 18:31:03 load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 - I'm also a very polite neighbour for someone. 18:33:14 fizzie: Who's that with, prgmr? 18:33:27 I would check pyralspite's load, but that would require emailing prgmr saying "I lost my ssh key /again/" 18:33:27 Yes, the VPS provider of champions. 18:33:31 and I think they'd start to get suspicious. 18:34:25 I had sort-of narrowed it down to prgmr and buyvm, and, well, http://www.doesbuyvmhavestock.com/ 18:34:33 (The answer is always "no".) 18:34:39 10:45:31: yes, because when that happens it means you matched the length from the histogram while also landing on a space to ensure a smooth word ending. 18:34:42 (Also they seemed a bit weird.) 18:34:46 kallisti: I'm glad you're finally starting to see the genius of my scheme. 18:35:08 fizzie: Those people look a bit "fly-by-wire", to steal Gregor's terminology. 18:35:26 Oh, OpenVZ. 18:35:31 Why did you consider these people? 18:35:32 They do Xen too. 18:35:42 Sorry, KVM. 18:35:57 Yes, but they're still OpenVZ people. :p 18:36:03 THE MARK CANNOT BE ERASED. 18:36:04 Mmmaybe. 18:36:20 Also they support Windows. 18:36:42 Apparently (in the words of someone else) they have a bit of a cult following. 18:36:49 fizzie: I was expecting that doesbuyvmhavestock.com to be one of those single-purpose websites with a big "NO" because, um, they're a publicly traded company and people never sell their stocks or something? 18:39:18 The "is it friday?" infoscreen in the lobby of our CS building had been changed into an "is it christmas?" infoscreen. Seasonal. 18:47:07 "buyvm.net borders on a cult (in a good way). They only release stock when they feel they can adequately support it, and when they announce stock is coming, people watch countdown pages and hang out on their IRC channel, salivating. Once stock is released, it’s often gone within an hour. 18:47:07 The reason for this Apple-store-like behavior is that they are one of the best budget providers. Good plans, sterling reputation, and they participate on WHT. You won’t find the smoking performance of a 6sync or linode here, but you will find solid nodes that don’t bounce and good service (for a budget provider)." 18:47:15 fizzie: These people wack, yo. 18:47:44 -!- Ngevd has quit (Quit: Goodbye). 18:57:16 That's probably where I got the "cult" from. 19:20:40 oerjan: btw i was thinking about how you said the reflection package looked kinda inefficient to you 19:21:00 yes 19:21:19 oerjan: I think it's probably not that bad, at least if what I'm imagining is its implementation strategy, because I've thought of a simplified version that seems obviously fast to me :) 19:22:28 (a) use data Pointer x0 x1 x2 ... x63, data O, data I to represent pointers; (b) use runtime hackery to get a pointer directly to the thunk, rather than having to allocate storage for it (although ForeignPtrs don't have that much overhead to my understanding so it shouldn't matter much) 19:22:29 * Gregor reappears. 19:22:32 fizzie: Dood, PRGMR. 19:22:34 PRGMR RULES 19:22:45 obviously that fixes you to one pointer bit-width, but while we're being this unportable... 19:23:07 fizzie: Anyway, HackEgo is slow because HackEgo is slow. 19:23:28 Gregor: Transactional HackEgo wouldn't be >:) >:) >:) 19:23:34 elliott: WAITIN' 19:23:41 fizzie: Hey, how do I insert "xN " for N in [0,64) in emacs, thx 19:23:49 Gregor: YOU WANTED ME TO TEST IT MYSELF 19:24:17 elliott: you still have to actually construct a class dictionary encoding a bit pattern for your pointer 19:24:47 oerjan: hmm... let me try and implement this, 'cuz maybe i'm missing something :P 19:24:55 elliott: WAITIN' 19:25:25 fizzie: Anyway, I pay $20/mo for the 1GB plan.

I assume it's not that elsewhere. 22:57:52 I never eat turkey for christmas 22:58:08 in fact I don't even think we do like...a christmas dinner that's any kind of specific thing. 22:58:39 Gregor: Oh, if you wanted the actual traditional Finnish thing, it's the roast ham (with this mustard cover thingie), but quite often in this modern multicultural days it can be turkey too. 22:59:21 Gregor: Well, turkey for Christmas is definitely a Thing here, yes. 23:00:11 loooool regex in Python 23:00:12 so lame. 23:00:18 needs moar perl codez 23:00:23 Gregor: I suspect the Americans were unable to come up with a new meal for their new holiday, presumably on account of being fucking idiotic enough to attempt to declare Genocide: The National Holiday. 23:00:28 So they just stole Christmas. 23:00:37 's traditional dinner. 23:00:48 at least it's not like PHP where your matches are preggo. 23:00:51 fizzie: What about a... turkey fajita? 23:01:01 Gregor: "Christmas dinner is the primary meal traditionally eaten on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Christmas dinner around the world may differ and the traditions present below can reflect the culture of the respective country it is being celebrated in. Turkey is present in a fair number of these meals." 23:01:04 Gregor: A fair number, yo. 23:01:16 A fair number in-deeeed. 23:01:18 "Christmas dinner in Australia is based on the traditional English version.[1] However due to Christmas falling in the heat of the Southern Hemisphere's summer, meats such as ham, turkey and chicken are sometimes served cold with cranberry sauce, accompanied by side salads or roast vegetables." 23:01:20 However, turkey is an American bird. 23:01:27 AUSTRALIA YOU JUST CAN'T HAVE CHRISTMAS OKAY, ACCEPT IT 23:01:45 Gregor: That's what they *want* you to think. 23:01:48 Then there's a set of I-think-they're-vaguely-Finnish-in-that-they're-not-exactly-the-same-things-elsewhere set of casserole-style dishes (carrot, rutabaga, I forget the third one), and this beetroot-based totally-all-red salad called "rosolli"; it's got beetroot, carrots, potatoes, apples, pickled cucumber; maybe other stuff. 23:01:48 It actually came from Finland. 23:02:01 Actually why on earth am I listing them when http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joulup%C3%B6yt%C3%A4 does it far more concisely? 23:02:03 It's sort of like how all Italian food is actually just derivative American food what with the tomatotrololol. 23:02:31 kallisti: If you want to catch up with me better start writing AWESOME ANSWERS like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8616861/purity-of-functions-generating-bytestring-or-any-object-with-foreignptr-compone/8616941#8616941!!!!!!!!!!!! 23:03:23 -!- iconmaster has joined. 23:03:48 -!- PiRSquared17 has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.88 [Firefox 8.0.1/20111120135848]). 23:04:04 Gregor: "In England, the evolution of the main course into turkey did not take place for years, or even centuries. At first, in medieval England, the main course was either a peacock or a boar, the boar usually the mainstay. The turkey appeared on Christmas tables in England in the 16th century,[6] and popular history tells of King Henry VIII being first English monarch to have turkey for Christmas." 23:04:59 Yeah that makes sense for Henry VIII 23:05:07 And hi all 23:05:52 "A Christmas ham or Yule ham is a traditional ham dish associated with modern Christmas, Yule and Fennoscandian Jul. The tradition is suggested to have begun among the Germanic peoples as a tribute to Freyr, a god in Germanic Paganism associated with boars, harvest and fertility.[1] It was later popularized by the Catholic Church as a test of truthful conversion from Judaism.
