00:29:57 <itidus21> Phantom_Hoover: some people apparently feast on knowledge in their early 20s... i don't know wheer they get the time or energy for it
00:31:05 <itidus21> maybe cos my schooling didn't go so well
00:33:24 <itidus21> knowing things is depressing in a way
00:33:37 <itidus21> becoming aware of the ubiquity of experiences
00:38:31 <itidus21> or the way we humans make a big deal about continents, but were we to drain up the water, all we would find is a giant desert
00:51:09 <itidus21> i think that learning is a delicate balancing act to ensure that you're still crazy enough at the end to want to use what you learned
00:57:55 <itidus21> one important step to success is to avoid learning any national security secrets that would encourage them to keep you under their eye

01:03:28 <itidus21> more importantly, if you are smart enough that someone thinks it's worth getting you to sign an NDA especially avoid it then
01:03:38 <Phantom_Hoover> <itidus21> or the way we humans make a big deal about continents, but were we to drain up the water, all we would find is a giant desert
01:04:34 <itidus21> its ujst a thought that popped into my head
01:06:48 <itidus21> it may help if i explain that when i joined here i expected to find basic derivatives. everything else that followed can be traced back to that

01:13:25 <Sgeo_> Phantom_Hoover, even I've made a BF derivative (ok, so I'm not exactly the best person to use "even I've")
01:13:54 <Sgeo_> zzo38 used it in his own language.
01:14:20 <Phantom_Hoover> I don't think I can get zzo38 to do anything, on account of him being almost Lovecraftianly incomprehensible.
01:14:32 -!- itidus21 has joined.
01:14:37 <itidus21> i mean i probably expected to find lisp, scheme, squeak, smalltalk, ocaml, bugsys, etc derivatives
01:14:39 <Phantom_Hoover> The best I can do is just leave him and hope the cultists don't work out how to awaken him from his slumber.
01:14:58 <Sgeo_> itidus21, I've made a BF derivative
01:15:00 -!- itidus21 has left (">.<").
01:15:16 <zzo38> That's OK I don't let the cultists work out how to awaken me from my slumber.
01:15:43 <zzo38> I will awake by myself when I want to be awake.
01:16:36 <zzo38> Phantom_Hoover: Perhaps you are next.
01:23:51 <kallisti> Phantom_Hoover: I make good language
01:24:04 <kallisti> I am worthy to be called #esoteric
01:26:09 <kallisti> Each person can have a total of up to 52 pulp organs, 32 in the permanent and 20 in the primary teeth. The total volumes of all the permanent teeth organs is 0.38cc and the mean volume of a single adult human pulp is 0.02cc.
01:26:58 <kallisti> Phantom_Hoover: does the UK flouridate its drinking water?
01:27:09 <kallisti> we do so in the US, and it's a big controversy
01:29:21 <kallisti> reducing dental care costs for poor families with many young children at very little cost is evil.
01:30:26 <pikhq> kallisti: See, it's mind-damaging poison.
01:35:49 <Phantom_Hoover> You know full well nobody's seriously arguing that it's bad because it improves dental health, and to dismiss all safety concerns as fears of it being 'mind-damaging poison' is not just dumb, it's patronising as hell.
01:36:47 <zzo38> I think Phantom_Hoover is correct.
01:37:16 <kallisti> I didn't say that's what they were arguing. I was saying that's the actual results of flouridation.
01:37:25 <elliott> Phantom_Hoover: "Although water fluoridation can cause dental fluorosis, which can alter the appearance of developing teeth, most of this is mild and usually not considered to be of aesthetic or public-health concern.[10] There is no clear evidence of other adverse effects.[11] Moderate-quality studies have investigated effectiveness; studies on adverse effects have been mostly of low quality.[11]"
01:37:31 <elliott> the case for fluoride seems pretty well cut out to me
01:37:39 <elliott> and all anti-flouridation I have seen has been of the conspiratorial sort
01:38:07 <Phantom_Hoover> elliott, I'm not saying it isn't, I'm saying that kallisti and pikhq's statements were dumb.
01:39:11 <Phantom_Hoover> I have seen serious discussion as to fluoride's safety, and although it concluded it's safe the alternative was seriously considered.
01:40:31 <kallisti> you could say that it puts too much trust in the government to ensure public safety. However, that argument extends to almost any large-scale public works project.

02:00:46 <kallisti> sometime in the distant future all of the continents will eventually merge together again

09:23:59 <Sgeo__> What's the formal name for Python's sucky coroutines?
09:25:43 <Sgeo__> Does that encompass the lack of a function being able to ... nest... generators to become a generator
09:25:52 <Sgeo__> Wow, I have no idea how to describe what I want to say
09:26:23 * Sgeo__ vaguely wonders what metaprogramming is like in Lua compared to Tcl
09:27:36 <shachaf> Python3 has "yield from" which is maybe what you're talking about?
09:28:01 <shachaf> You still need to mark places that use generators explicitly.
09:28:42 <Sgeo__> shachaf, oh, wow. That's good. Still can be annoying I guess, but at least it's livable
09:29:03 <Sgeo__> Wait, ... no. Can't really pass that into something as a callback, can you?
09:29:20 <shachaf> I'm not sure what you mean.
09:30:12 <Sgeo__> As in, a function that takes a callback, using generators to do a continuation-like thing and essentially telling the thing asking for the callback to resume the generator
09:30:38 <shachaf> So doing coöperative threading of sorts?
09:31:22 <shachaf> You would presumably have some kind of scheduler and add the suspended "thread" to the queue when you got the callback.
09:32:13 <Sgeo__> I remember in a C# 3.5 project having to write a scheduler
09:32:48 <shachaf> "scheduler" is perhaps an overstatement here.
