01:50:30 <oerjan> we cannot tolerate such a thing here.
01:50:41 <BlueProtoman> Do algorithms with O(sin(x)) complexity exist?
01:52:41 <oerjan> that would mean it should use < 1 instructions on some input lengths.
01:53:54 <oerjan> you could probably contrive something not very useful
01:54:29 <oerjan> yes, that gets arbitrary close to 0.
01:54:29 <pikhq_> That means it'll sometimes take negative time.
01:55:09 <pikhq_> That... Doesn't change that at all, in fact.
01:55:13 <pikhq_> As it's assumed n > 0.
01:55:28 <oerjan> that still gets arbitrary close to 0.
01:55:56 <oerjan> if you interpret it as + a constant, then it's the same as O(1).

02:03:03 <shachaf> Remind me again why true is more than ~3 lines?
02:03:37 <pikhq_> Because GNU hates all that is good.
02:04:14 <pikhq_> And thinks "int main(){return 0;}" suggests they have a small e-penis.

02:22:44 <zzo38> I would probably make some of the programs in assembly language/machine codes, still GPL licensed, and have those programs in C as well if you are loading them onto a computer where the program has not yet been written in assembly language for that computer. Some such program might include true/false
02:22:49 <pikhq_> 's gzip.c (main and a few util functions) is 600 lines.
02:23:00 <pikhq_> That's *just* main and a few util functions used in main.
02:23:22 <zzo38> Does that include comments and blank lines?
02:23:34 <pikhq_> Yeah, I'm just using wc -l

23:00:24 <Sgeo> I want to see a blind LP of NetHack
23:04:32 <elliott> Sgeo: unspoiled people do not generally win NetHack in less than a few years :P
23:04:42 <elliott> so it would have to be an awfully long-running LP.
23:04:58 <shachaf> elliott: Did you ever win NetHack. :-(
23:05:03 <Sgeo> Has an unspoiled person ever won?
23:05:17 <elliott> (At least, I'm 99% sure they have.)
23:05:41 <shachaf> "crawl > nethack" -- interhack developer
23:06:48 <elliott> Crawl has a boring early-game (OK, an incredibly boring early-game) and a fun mid-to-late-game.
23:07:01 <elliott> ais523 tells me NetHack is more like the opposite of that, so I probably won't play it much more.
23:07:08 <elliott> Except to ascend. I've got to ascend NetHack once before I die. It's a token thing.
23:07:21 <shachaf> elliott: I've never gotten to the Crawl mid-to-late game, so I wouldn't know.
23:07:24 <elliott> (I probably won't play it much more because its early game bores me, that is.)
23:07:27 <elliott> shachaf: How far have you gotten?
23:07:27 <shachaf> I ascended NetHack atheist wishless, though!
23:07:36 <shachaf> elliott: No idea. Not far.
23:07:46 <shachaf> I mostly played it when I was uninterested in thinking or being careful.
23:07:49 <elliott> shachaf: Have you seen the Lair?
23:07:58 <elliott> shachaf: Have you gotten to the last level of Lair?
23:07:59 <shachaf> I got killed by a death yak once.
23:08:13 <shachaf> It was, like, a while ago, man.
23:08:13 <elliott> 00:08 <Sequell> No games for elliott (killer=death yak).
23:08:18 <elliott> shachaf: What about the Orcish Mines?
23:08:31 <shachaf> (Though maybe I shouldn't have gone in so early.)
23:08:41 <elliott> (You should do Lair first.)
23:08:48 <elliott> What about Shoals, Swamp, Snake Pit, Elven Halls? (Slime Pits?)
23:09:26 <elliott> You've gone to Elf but haven't gotten a rune?
23:09:40 <elliott> Anyway, I define Crawl mid-to-late game as "first rune onwards", more or less.
23:09:50 <elliott> Then after the late game is extended. (I've never done extended. :( )
23:09:54 <shachaf> Well, you should ascend NetHack.
23:10:16 <shachaf> Val/Sam has an easy early game, so you could play that.
23:10:16 <elliott> shachaf: The furthest I've gotten in NetHack is doing Sokoban in the Mines as a Valkyrie dwarf.
23:10:23 <shachaf> ("Val/Sam" is like "C/C++".)
23:10:36 -!- nortti_ has quit (Quit: leaving).
23:10:37 <elliott> It was very boring, except for the part where I angered the Keystone Kops.
23:11:00 <elliott> #nethack got me out of that situation by having me steal something and then repay the shopkeeper, which calmed the Kops down.
23:11:03 <shachaf> elliott: If you kill the shopkeeper, the Kops never come.
23:11:05 <elliott> Did you know NetHack doesn't make much sense?
23:11:36 <elliott> I don't really like NetHack.
23:11:50 <shachaf> elliott: You should play it to the end!
23:12:02 <shachaf> In the late game in NetHack you become invincible.
23:12:05 <elliott> shachaf: Even ais523 said NetHack probably isn't the game for me.
23:12:08 <shachaf> And you can kill anything by hitting it.
23:12:12 <elliott> And yes, that's boring as hell.
23:12:32 <elliott> I would play NetHack if they made an analogue of Crawl's sprint mode where it's just the Astral Plane.
23:12:36 <elliott> (Or maybe all of the planes.)
23:12:47 <shachaf> Well, maybe not the Astral Plane.
23:12:52 <shachaf> The Plane of Water is really boring.
23:12:53 <elliott> The Astral Plane isn't! Or at least it doesn't look boring.
23:12:56 <elliott> I've never played it, naturally.
23:13:03 <shachaf> You gotta ascend NetHack at least once before you die, man!
23:13:07 <elliott> ais523 thinks the Astral Plane is the best level, I think.
23:13:18 <shachaf> The Astral Plane is pretty good.
23:13:24 <shachaf> You would probably use the Astral Call Bug.
23:13:48 <elliott> It's fixed on the public servers, so I hear, anyway.
23:13:53 <elliott> And offline play isn't cool.
23:14:02 <elliott> shachaf: I bet you play with terminals bigger than 80x24.
23:14:03 <shachaf> Guess what OTHER patch is applied to public servers?
23:14:16 <elliott> Sorry - I mean - not yours.
23:14:31 <shachaf> Hey, I wrote the actual code in it!
23:14:51 <shachaf> You can ask the other person whose name is on the patch?
23:14:59 <shachaf> Not that you'd believe him.
23:15:09 <shachaf> elliott: I bet you're cheater_.
23:15:17 <elliott> shachaf: Would *you* trust the guy who made YAML?
23:15:46 <elliott> I notice you haven't responded to the hugeterm allegation.
23:15:57 <shachaf> I play on 80x24, thank you very much.
23:16:04 <shachaf> I don't even get the point of hugeterm.
23:16:05 <Sgeo> Hey, I wrote a patch for NetHack
23:16:09 <shachaf> Do you get to see more of the map in Crawl?
23:16:26 <elliott> shachaf: Yes, or a bigger message area.
23:16:32 <shachaf> In NetHack you see the entire map on the screen anyway.
23:16:33 -!- monqy has joined.
23:16:36 <shachaf> And there's no message area.
23:16:37 <elliott> shachaf: But you can also just make the message area smaller to see all of the map.
23:16:41 <shachaf> We should let monqy settle this.
23:16:49 <lambdabot> monqy: You have 6 new messages. '/msg lambdabot @messages' to read them.
23:18:55 <lambdabot> elliott: You have 2 new messages. '/msg lambdabot @messages' to read them.
23:20:39 <shachaf> elliott: Do you claim there isn't a dispute?
23:20:44 <shachaf> That sounds like a dispute for monqy to settle.
23:20:44 <elliott> monqy: Who wrote this patch? http://ben-kiki.org/oren/statuscolors/index.html
23:20:50 <shachaf> elliott: Oh, I meant hugeterm.
23:21:21 <elliott> We both agreed it's stupid.
23:21:34 <shachaf> monqy: Is hugeterm stupid?
23:21:48 <shachaf> monqy: Also, should elliott ascend at NetHack at least once before he dies.
23:22:51 <monqy> hugeterm is stupid
23:23:00 <monqy> I don't care whether elliott ascends nh or not
23:23:38 <elliott> (In Crawl, the "ascending" is walking up a bunch of stairs!)
23:23:47 <elliott> shachaf: Did you know the way to win Crawl is to run away form things?
23:24:08 <shachaf> elliott: In NetHack, "ascending" is walking up a bunch of stairs!
23:24:13 <shachaf> Except for the mysterious force.
23:24:19 <shachaf> Do you even know what that is? :-(
23:24:29 <elliott> I know of it! I forget what it is.
23:24:38 <elliott> (You ascend to demigodhood.)
23:24:54 <shachaf> (You ascend up the figurative demigodhood stairs.)
23:25:15 <elliott> shachaf: Did you know that Debian applies a patch to NetHack that changes the gameplay?
23:25:29 <elliott> The 95_enh_engulf_prayers.dpatch patch makes being engulfed a major trouble, so that a successful prayer while engulfed will get you expelled and cause the engulfing monster to flee.
23:25:44 <shachaf> elliott: Do you know what the WORST PART OF NETHACK is?

23:25:56 <shachaf> Hint: It's the "wraps itself around you" thing.
23:26:03 <elliott> To quote squarelos, "nethack is weird".
23:26:29 <shachaf> "The giant eel swings itself around you!" <-- worst part of NetHack
23:26:55 <shachaf> Unless you do one of a few weird things.
23:27:07 <shachaf> Like levitate (if you're not levitating) or unlevitate (if you're levitating).
23:27:07 <elliott> I do not like instadeath effects.
23:27:15 <shachaf> But taking off boots of levitation takes more than one turn!
23:27:32 <shachaf> You can also teleport the eel away. Or yourself, unless you're on a no-teleport level!
