00:34:31 <kmc> what's the /topic program? SUBLEQ interpreter or something?
00:34:47 <kmc> or is it actually a linux rootkit? *fucked*
00:39:12 <pikhq> Looks to be a SUBLEQ interpreter, yeah.
00:40:52 <elliott> it's a linux rootkit
00:40:53 <elliott> for qnx
00:40:56 <elliott> on the amiga
00:41:28 <ais523> can something be a linux rootkit for qnx?
00:41:37 <ais523> I guess it could be a program that roots qnx if you run it on Linux
00:42:08 <TeruFSX> or a rootkit that runs on a linux kernel modified to run at the same time as qnx

01:39:33 <Bike> more inappropriate haskell questions: is "main" a standard thing or what because I can't find it
01:40:43 <oerjan> yes it is
01:41:49 <pikhq> Bike: Yes: "main" is the Haskell entry point, just like main is the C entry point.

01:42:09 <Bike> "A Haskell program is a collection of modules, one of which, by convention, must be called Main and must export the value main" aha
01:42:16 <Bike> thanks
01:42:50 <oerjan> (there's a flag to call it something else, naturally >:) )
01:43:02 <Bike> a standard flag?

02:22:54 -!- madbr has joined.
02:23:22 <madbr> trying to design a "trace CPU"
02:23:23 <Bike> crabputers know what's hip
02:24:31 <madbr> like, instead of just executing the code
02:24:59 <madbr> it allocates a new execution unit (ALU, multiplier, etc...) for each instruction
02:25:27 <madbr> once it reaches a loop, it just lets data stream through the already allocated units
02:27:17 <kmc> nice
02:27:51 <kmc> are there any really good tracing JITs for VLIW architectures
02:27:57 <kmc> that could be kind of an approximation of that
02:28:06 <kmc> where's my V8 for itanium =( =( =(
02:32:57 <Sgeo> Is it reasonable to look at a language mostly because of its implications for how one would structure a program written in it
02:33:03 <Sgeo> Actually, yes
02:33:30 <kmc> yes
02:33:57 <Sgeo> Haskell tends to imply a certain structure (IO layer using non-IO layer)
02:34:08 <kmc> yes
02:34:09 <Sgeo> So, why not try to get a grasp of how Erlang programs are structured
02:34:13 <Sgeo> I still don't understand it :/
02:34:19 <shachaf> What about Ada?
02:35:15 <madbr> kmc: it's kinda scary how VLIW architectures tend to bomb :o
02:35:53 <kmc> Sgeo have you seen Erlang: The Movie
02:36:50 <Sgeo> I think part of it, I don't remember if I've seen the whole thing. If I have, I don't remember it
02:36:54 <Sgeo> I know I've heard of it
02:37:12 <kmc> i think erlang programs involve lots of small concurrent agents which interact through semi ad-hoc algebraic-data-ish protocols
02:37:13 <Sgeo> It's kind of ... dry and old, isn't it?
02:37:45 <kmc> one point of it being dynamically typed is that you can restart small parts independently from each other
02:38:15 <Sgeo> Not sure that dynamic typing is a requirement for that
02:38:17 -!- copumpkin has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
02:38:18 <kmc> harder to migrate a distributed system piecemeal if your protocols are very rigid
02:38:30 <kmc> it's not a requirement but it makes things easier
02:38:34 * elliott doesn't think that argument makes much sense
02:38:43 <elliott> but I guess I would say that all protocols are rigid
02:38:45 <kmc> anyway i don't know erlang
02:38:51 <elliott> it is just a question of how much your code acknowledges that fact
02:39:34 <madbr> I'd like to see more languages structured like zzt-oop (or megazeux's "robotic")
02:39:38 <Bike> all protocols are rigid but their implementations are crazed nuttiness?
02:39:47 <Bike> zzt, isn't that something for games
02:40:02 <madbr> bike : yes!
02:40:10 <shachaf> zomg moreutils has /usr/bin/errno -l?
02:40:24 <madbr> bike : so it would probably work well for GUI
02:40:57 <Bike> «Note the use of an invisible "timer" object to send a periodical ShootDownward message to the Shooter.» man this reminds me of game maker
02:41:01 <Bike> i'm... not sure if that's a good thing

02:45:01 <kmc> <3 moreutils
02:45:22 <shachaf> kmc: I've spent way too much time hunting down the lesser-known errno mappings in some cases.
02:45:39 <shachaf> I mean e.g. pretty-printed message to number.
02:46:21 <kmc> there's at least one errno that can only be produced by a single point in the Linux kernel

03:05:03 <madbr> bike: objects? yes and no
03:05:20 <madbr> it has objects but objects can't store any data
03:05:35 <madbr> each object has its own code
03:05:45 <madbr> and it runs once per frame
03:06:25 <madbr> and when it runs it essentially keeps running until it reaches a command that has a pause in it
03:06:47 <madbr> such as "wait 1" (megazeux, zzt-oop has an equivalent)
03:07:02 <madbr> and then next frame it continues from there
03:07:13 <madbr> so they're really kindof like cooperative threads
03:07:33 <madbr> also objects are part of the tile map and the player can't go through them

03:38:57 <TwilightSpockle> So I thought maybe it'd actually sent something weird.
03:39:12 <Bike> there was a bot in another channel such that we had it send arbitrary CTCPs with its echo command

06:25:52 <Sgeo> Bike, hm?
06:42:04 <kmc> the Y combinator has a similar structure to a typical quine
06:42:11 <kmc> they're based on the same trick of implicit self-reference
06:42:27 <kmc> as is the proof by contradiction of the undecidability of the halting problem
06:42:33 <kmc> so that's fun
06:43:08 <Bike> what about kleene recursion
06:56:32 <kmc> yeah
06:56:47 <kmc> kind of mentioned that too but not really
06:57:09 <kmc> you need it to do the halting proof in full rigor
06:57:43 <Bike> diagonalization?
06:57:52 <kmc> what about it?
06:58:10 <Bike> is that what you mean by "full rigor"
06:58:34 <Bike> personally i just like the intuitive loop scooper thing but that's not as useful...

07:01:59 <kmc> well in this lecture i just went with the good old (define (f x) (if (halts? x x) (loop-forever) 0))
07:02:07 <Bike> right, that
07:02:27 <kmc> i think, if you want to do that proof in full rigor on turing machines specifically, you need kleene's recursion theorem
07:02:30 <kmc> not sure though, it's been a while
07:02:37 <Bike> @google scooping the loop snooper

07:02:40 <lambdabot> Title: Scooping the Loop Snooper — Geoffrey K. Pullum
07:03:06 <Bike> hm, i don't think i've actually read turing's original paper.
07:03:07 <kmc> i did talk about diagonalization but not specifically about halting, just showing that the set of functions is uncountable while the set of programs is countable
07:03:10 <kmc> heh
07:03:26 <Bike> actually just about the only turing i've read is the test paper. that's probably not good
07:03:33 <kmc> yeah that article is great
07:03:42 <Bike> my favorite part is the ESP speculation
07:03:43 <kmc> Bike: did you like the part where he speculates about beating the turing test using ESP
07:03:46 <kmc> yesssss
07:04:00 <Bike> i just imagine singulatarians reading it dumbfounded
07:04:30 <kmc> i think nobody is quite sure if he was joking or not
07:05:06 <Bike> i read a nice article on turing's article from a lit perspective once
07:05:16 <Bike> guy thought turing was a pretty funny guy overall
07:05:56 <Bike> ...i can never find it again when i want it, though.
07:05:56 <kmc> heh, that sounds interesting
07:06:08 <kmc> did you see the article about how maybe turing didn't kill himself on purpose
07:06:22 <Bike> no, i've heard rumors about that however
07:06:33 <kmc> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-18561092
07:06:38 <Bike> http://www.furtherfield.org/features/articles/why-arent-we-reading-turing here we go
07:07:43 <kmc> huh, i didn't know he wrote about the chemical basis of morphogenesis
07:07:55 <kmc> that's cool
07:08:03 <Bike> oh yeah there was a bit of news stuff about that last year when they actually found some turing morphogens
07:10:06 <kmc> is it numberwang? we'll have to check with the boffins.
07:11:04 <Bike> "In a man of his type, one never knows what his mental processes are going to do next." one can only hope he meant "genius" and not "teh ghey"
07:11:21 <elliott> saying "what if it wasn't suicide??" seems to have an uncomfortable whiff of downplaying the awful treatment turing was going through at the time to me
07:11:49 <kmc> elliott: the article i linked doesn't downplay it really
07:12:22 <kmc> it's more like "what if he had the strength to endure awful treatment in relatively good spirits"
07:12:30 <kmc> i mean if the facts stated are true, we will never know if it was suicide or not
07:12:41 <Bike> elliott: the professor made a point of saying "no this was still horrible"
07:12:50 <kmc> it shouldn't affect whether the treatment was unjust or the legacy of his life before his death
07:13:52 <Bike> http://www.kcl.ac.uk/newsevents/news/newsrecords/2012/02Feb/Scientists-prove-Turings-tiger-stripe-theory-.aspx it is apparently impossible to find the actual goddamn paper
07:14:56 <kmc> speaking of the classics, it's funny that Gödel never got around to publishing part 2 of the paper on incompleteness
07:15:00 <kmc> because part 1 was such a bombshell
07:15:23 <Bike> you've seen his letter to von neumann, right?
07:15:25 <kmc> i also think it's kind of weird that all this theory developed in super abstract form just a decade or so before people started building actual computers
07:15:29 <kmc> don't think so

07:18:51 <kmc> yeah type theory is an alternative to set theory, or something
07:19:00 <kmc> not sure if it's exactly the same thing programmers mean by 'type theory'
07:19:42 <Bike> well i mean the math. people do that as foundational nowadays.
07:19:50 <Bike> not that that has much to do with ramified types any more.

16:22:59 <boily> nortti: what kind of server are you running? the only response header I get by visiting http://nortti.dy.fi/ is "Content-Type: text/html"
16:24:38 <nortti> boily: my own http server written in python
16:24:51 <nortti> boily: what is your exact request?
16:25:39 <boily> nortti: I tried firefox first, just to see if you had anything running, then raw telnet to get a pretty list of all headers.
16:25:54 <boily> (and I admit running a fast nmap against your domain.)
16:26:00 <nortti> what is the request you used with telnet
16:26:29 <nortti> oh, that's ok. I used to have "run nmap here if you want to test it" on my homepage
16:26:30 <boily> telnet nortti.dy.fi 80, then GET / HTTP/1.1.
16:26:58 <nortti> what kind of line terminator?
16:27:19 <boily> eeeeh... I hope CR+LF, but probably only LF.
16:27:30 <boily> I can see your stub web page just fine, too.
16:27:39 <nortti> very strange
16:28:04 <nortti> do you have your telent in char or in line mode?
16:28:23 <boily> no idea. bog standard vanilla telnet on my machine.
16:28:37 <nortti> what os your machine runs?
16:28:57 <boily> arch linux, Linux njorun 3.7.5-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jan 28 10:03:32 CET 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux.
16:29:06 <nortti> have you tried netcat?
16:29:26 <boily> no, not yet.
16:30:43 <boily> same behaviour with netcat: echo -e "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n" | nc nortti.dy.fi 80
16:31:07 <boily> by the way, telnet (GNU inetutils) 1.9.1 and GNU netcat 0.7.1.
16:31:22 <nortti> very, very strange
16:31:34 <nortti> so you only see the headers?
16:31:49 <nortti> and not the page itself=
16:31:51 <boily> oh, no. I was just wondering what was the webserver and stuff and anything.
16:31:59 <boily> the pages renders correctly.
16:32:09 <boily> s/pages/page/, as I only saw a single page for now.
16:32:14 <nortti> oh. then it works just as it shoudl
16:33:09 <nortti> I tried to make it compatible with normaly used subset of HTTP 1.0
16:34:29 <nortti> boily: in case you are interested these files are available: foo.txt mcsnapshot strace_failed_config.log index.html os_cars.html
16:35:33 <boily> playing with slitaz?
16:35:42 <nortti> using it as my main os
16:36:50 <nortti> well slitaz 3.0 with all kind of crap put on top of it like toybox and my own coreutils replacing parts of busybox, pkgsrc and jpkg package managers and a lot of hand compiled stuff

17:09:51 <TwilightSpockle> How are there people who don't program for fun.
17:09:53 <TwilightSpockle> I don't get it.
17:16:06 <kmc> programming is a combination of mentally challenging and tedious
17:16:27 <kmc> plus some people like things like being outside or interacting with humans in person
17:16:31 <kmc> and would rather spend free time on that
17:17:37 <TwilightSpockle> All I'm hearing is that people like to fritter their potential away on completely nonproductive uses of time.
17:17:37 <kmc> "hacker" communities have a huge amount of prejudice against people who don't spend every waking hour thinking about programming
17:17:52 <kmc> i think it's largely unfounded
17:17:59 <kmc> http://geekfeminism.org/2013/01/21/re-post-hiring-based-on-hobbies-effective-or-exclusive/
17:18:09 <kmc> "I’ve seen other people imply that there’s something even morally suspect about somebody working an engineering job just for the money, and that someone who doesn’t do the same stuff in their free time is obviously just in it for the money. Of course, that’s classist. It’s easier to feel like you’re motivated by the sheer love of your work if you don’t really need the money."
17:18:36 <kmc> TwilightSpockle: oh yeah because writing the 2,000th toy Lisp interpreter or Python webapp framework nobody will ever use is so productive
17:18:52 <kmc> anyway i think you're trolling

18:29:55 <Phantom_Hoover> now there's an amazing word
18:30:21 <kmc> 'The term "coleslaw" arose in the eighteenth century as an Anglicisation of the Dutch term "koolsla", a shortening of "koolsalade", which means "cabbage salad"'
18:30:31 <boily> in the space of about 2 minutes, I'm now completely confused. I love Fridays.
18:30:32 <kmc> 'koolsalade'
18:30:59 <Phantom_Hoover> cabbage salad?
18:30:59 <TwilightSpockle> Cole slaw is some pretty cool salad.

18:32:59 <shachaf> shachaf_SHACHAF.UCS-2.625
18:33:00 <kmc> impomatic: you could factor the dot out
18:33:23 <kmc> oh but you want the .f .i etc to be optional?
18:33:53 <kmc> then it would be like ((mul_add_sub)(\.(i|f|x))?) which is kinda ugly
18:34:06 <kmc> pretend those underscores are bars
18:34:10 <shachaf> kmc: Now it works!

18:39:47 <elliott> That sounds like work.
18:39:49 <kmc> bow down before moreutils
18:40:00 <impomatic> Now I need to figure out to to not exclude any matches preceded by a semicolon
18:40:04 <kmc> but then you'll have 'parallel' and 'ts' and 'sponge'!
18:40:04 <shachaf> moreutils is "rly good" elliott
18:40:18 <Phantom_Hoover> but is it easy
18:40:23 <shachaf> remember the time when you first found out about moreutils
18:40:29 <shachaf> it's just man page after man page of greatness
18:40:47 <kmc> yes
18:40:48 <coppro> sponge is the only really great one
18:40:57 <kmc> 'parallel' is very handy
18:41:06 <kmc> though xargs can almost do the same thing

18:45:04 <kmc> it's also just a dumb idea though

18:48:50 <Phantom_Hoover> uh

18:54:13 <shachaf> kmc: did you also use the monster all the time in simcity
18:54:28 <kmc> i was kind of wondering how the poisson rate of glider generation affects the entropy over time of the system
18:54:31 <elliott> kmc: instead of gliders it sohuld have spawned replicators
18:54:42 <Bike> shachaf: who didn't?
18:54:42 <kmc> whether there's a specific best rate for interesting patterns, or whether lots of different rates are roughly equivalent
18:54:59 <elliott> *should
18:55:03 <shachaf> Bike: Causing various disasters is the only thing I remember about SimCity.
18:55:24 <kmc> since it wraps around, if you spawn gliders on an empty plane they will live forever until they hit something
18:55:25 <boily> the most bestest CA is wireworld.
18:55:51 <kmc> so i hypothesize that there's some natural feedback between the complexity of existing patterns and the ability of created gliders to add complexity
18:55:54 <kmc> Phantom_Hoover: that's a fun fact
18:56:00 <Bike> i like von neumann's because it's so ridiculous
18:57:42 <Phantom_Hoover> Evoloop is best CA.
18:58:26 <Bike> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pixel_golly.gif efficient
19:01:16 <Phantom_Hoover> I wonder if anyone's gotten around to building a true replicator in Life
19:02:40 <shachaf> imo the most bestest CA is the one everyone should live in
19:02:51 <shachaf> and monqy already lives in??
19:05:01 <Bike> Phantom_Hoover: http://www.argentum.freeserve.co.uk/lex_u.htm#universalconstructor yeah
19:05:45 <Phantom_Hoover> that's outdated
19:06:05 <Phantom_Hoover> since then someone gave an explicit pattern for something that's almost, but not quite, a true replicator

20:53:40 <ais523> if it breaks hg, it's gregor's fault
20:54:42 <boily> HackEgo is smarter than I. it won't answer to its own output.
20:55:01 <zzo38> IRC clients don't receive their own output if not sent directly to themself.
20:55:12 <zzo38> (Some servers have an option to make it do anyways, but this is non-standard.)
20:55:27 <oerjan> @tell Gregor We did chmod a-r wisdom to prevent the rampant nickpinging when people ls'ed it... that apparently made `revert break for things inside it.
20:55:27 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
20:55:27 <zzo38> Also, HackEgo prefixes any message starting with a punctuation mark with a zero-width space.
20:55:42 <oerjan> oh well.
20:56:08 <zzo38> If you have rampant nickpinging then it is rather the client which needs to be reconfigured.
20:56:29 <boily> sigh. my feeble plans have been foiled again.
20:57:20 <zzo38> If you send a message to a channel in IRC, you will not receive a copy of the message. If you send directly to yourself, though, then you will receive a copy of the message.

21:03:12 <zzo38> oerjan: That is no excuse. If you don't want to follow the protocol, then don't use it.
21:03:43 <oerjan> zzo38: what? there is nothing in the protocol that says people shouldn't be pinged when their nick is mentioned. it is common practice.
21:04:25 <zzo38> There is nothing in the protocol that say people *should* be pinged when their nick is mentioned. If you want to, that is your choice to set up your client configured that way.
21:04:27 <oerjan> and adjusting it for the behavior of a single bot is unreasonable
21:05:08 <oerjan> zzo38: nickpinging is considered an annoyance on irc. that is a social rule, which is as much a part of irc as the protocol is.
21:05:21 <oerjan> *excessive nickpinging
21:05:53 <ais523> oerjan: one of the bots on another channel changes characters for similar-looking ones in order to avoid pinging people
21:06:11 <c00kiemon5ter> nickpinging is irrelevant to the protocol, it is a setting in your client
21:06:11 <zzo38> ais523: I think that is a bad idea!!
21:06:43 <zzo38> Since it prevents copy/paste from working properly!
21:06:49 <zzo38> There may be other solutions, though.
21:07:55 <zzo38> Such as use NOTICE messages. That *is* part of the protocol that you should use NOTICE messages to avoid auto-reply.
21:09:52 <Vorpal> zzo38, well yes, but most clients don't implement it like that
21:10:27 <zzo38> Then they are not following the protocol correctly. My client does follow the protocol and if yours doesn't, that is not my fault that is your fault.
21:10:29 <Vorpal> xchat for instance treat a channel notice as something thats highlights you
21:10:47 <Vorpal> zzo38, IRC is pretty much based on de facto standards these days
21:11:05 <Vorpal> most modern IRC stuff is not in any RFC
21:11:32 <Vorpal> like the 005 ISUPPORT line that tells you what modes and so on the server supports
21:11:35 <oerjan> `run echo "What it says." >wisdom/'As this directory contains many files named after nicks, listing it in public annoys people. Try `pastewisdom instead. '
21:11:35 <Vorpal> and how to parse them
21:11:37 <HackEgo> bash: wisdom/As this directory contains many files named after nicks, listing it in public annoys people. Try `pastewisdom instead.
21:11:45 <Vorpal> only a de facto standard

21:12:10 <Vorpal> oerjan, I got an entire line of spaces at the end of your line and the end of HackEgo's line
21:12:12 <coppro> RFCs are not standards
21:12:17 <coppro> they are exactly what they say on the tin
21:12:18 <Vorpal> oerjan, what the hell is going on
21:12:23 <coppro> there is no single defined IRC protocol
21:12:25 <zzo38> Adding additional stuff which is optional, I think is OK though.
21:12:27 <coppro> oerjan: can't you do this in PM?
21:12:36 <oerjan> Vorpal: i'm trying to create a very long filename in wisdom/ to hide the nicks
21:12:46 <oerjan> ...oh wtf
21:12:47 <Vorpal> oerjan, okay
21:13:06 <oerjan> fine, i'm giving up, if people are going to complain in addition...
21:13:21 <Vorpal> also wtf, nix* should support that length of filenames
21:13:24 <coppro> oerjan: it was more of a suggestion to avoid complaints
21:13:41 <Vorpal> oerjan, and just do it in a pm
21:13:51 <Vorpal> oerjan, it wouldn't be annoying for you
21:13:55 <zzo38> coppro: There is no IRC protocol? Why do you say that? I use the IRC protocol.

21:16:42 <coppro> zzo38: There is no standard for the IRC protocol
21:17:44 <zzo38> coppro: No, it is just that your client doesn't follow the standard.
21:17:56 <coppro> zzo38: Please provide me a copy of the standard
21:18:04 <coppro> as agreed to by implementers of it
21:18:14 <coppro> that means that an RFC is insufficient
21:18:19 <coppro> because an RFC does not define a standard
21:18:50 <zzo38> I know it says it doesn't define a standard
21:19:12 <zzo38> But still, the RFC is what I used to implement the client and the server
21:19:32 <zzo38> And anyways if you really think there is no standard, then the RFC should be as good as otherwise.
21:20:20 <zzo38> Some others have follow the RFC, too.
21:21:32 <zzo38> The RFC has SUMMON command but most IRC servers doesn't have such things, is one thing.
21:21:46 <zzo38> But it can be OK if it is not applicable to your computer.
21:22:30 <coppro> no it is not
21:22:40 <coppro> most implementations of IRC do not follow the RFCs
21:22:43 <oerjan> ok i tried some more, and failed for an entirely different reason: `ls wisdom sorts case-insensitively and ignores non-alphanum characters if there are any alphanum ones. so there is no way to get the message _first_. i guess i could pad with AAAAAA to get it nearly first.
21:23:02 <coppro> just hack ls imo
21:23:06 <zzo38> coppro: I know they don't. But probably they should!
21:23:10 <coppro> not really
21:23:21 <coppro> nobody follows them because there's a bunch of shit in them
21:23:28 <Bike> is [ still lowercase { in irc
21:23:31 <c00kiemon5ter> if they did, we'd only have up to 9 letter nicks (iirc)

21:25:28 <zzo38> Even extensions should follow the protocol as much as it applies, but, it doesn't! Such as the CS and NS commands which don't follow the protocol, it doesn't parse the parameters separated as the IRC protocol says, so that is the kings of things I am saying is wrong.
21:26:03 <coppro> oerjan: ln sl ls

21:30:22 <Bike> kmc: .ab for alba of course
21:31:22 <kmc> heh
21:32:25 <zzo38> What I mean by following the protocol, is that if both the client and server will send/receive things only according to the protocol, that it should work according to the protocol, and that any extensions follow according to the similar format to avoid confusion, although neither has to accept the extensions, since then it is a extended protocol instead.

22:15:08 <ais523> or readlink -e if you want the directory it's in to exist

22:16:18 <ais523> yeah, you'd have to filter out things that started with -

22:21:42 <ais523> I'd suggest something non-fatal, anyway
22:21:50 <oerjan> how boring
22:21:58 <ais523> they'd likely leave and/or press criminal charges upon discovering you attempted to poison them
22:22:01 <zzo38> I suggest using a poison which does not harm the environment or light your house on fire.
22:22:04 <ais523> regardless of whether or not it suceeded
22:22:22 <zzo38> But first tell them to go away; maybe you need not waste any poison.

22:47:54 <olsner> DDR3: trinary memory, the bandwidth increases by 1.5x (compared to binary DDR2 memory) due to using trinary encoding instead of binary

22:48:10 <elliott> Rather than hardcoding the inode, which might change.
22:48:30 <kmc> whatever
22:51:29 <olsner> (the original unary DDR memory allowed only the canonical truth to be stored - while both thread-safe and fast, it was somewhat limited in application)
22:55:43 <Vorpal> olsner, trying to find the context to your line about DDR3, but I can't. Did it just start there?
22:55:47 <olsner> ECC - European (or Error) Control Central: memory with ECC support reports all errors to the central database in Brussels. Manufacturers of faulty memories are fined appropriately.
22:56:01 <Sgeo> http://goto.ucsd.edu/~rjhala/liquid/haskell/blog/blog/2013/01/31/safely-catching-a-list-by-its-tail.lhs/
22:56:09 <olsner> Vorpal: it started some months ago, dunno when
22:56:12 <Sgeo> Am I going to need to read the prior blog posts to understand this?
22:56:14 <olsner> `quote SDRAM
22:56:15 <HackEgo> 712) <olsner> the allocation is done by the "Dynamic" in DRAM <olsner> before that we used SRAM where everything was preallocated in the factory <fizzie> olsner: So what's this SDRAM then? <olsner> fizzie: synchronized, it's for multithreading
22:56:33 <Vorpal> ah
22:56:41 <Vorpal> olsner, and this has been a regular thing since then?
22:56:48 <olsner> no, this is the second installment
22:56:51 <Vorpal> ah
22:56:56 <Vorpal> olsner, what about QDRAM?
22:57:34 <olsner> ah, Quantum DRAM? in layman's terms it's everywhere at once but seldom in your particular computer
22:57:38 -!- Guest56826 has changed nick to TwilightSpockle.
22:57:58 <Vorpal> ah
22:58:07 <Vorpal> olsner, that is a bit of a bummer then
22:58:20 <Vorpal> olsner, RAMBUS?
22:59:06 <olsner> there's a common myth that QDRAM stands for quad double ram, but that's just silly since that'd be some sort of octaram and ram is already measured in octets
22:59:41 <Vorpal> heh
23:01:30 <Vorpal> olsner, actually rambus is not related to memory at all. It is basically sheep herding using large vehicles.
23:01:48 <olsner> yes, the so-called trick question
23:02:39 <olsner> a rambus can either be a bus used for ramming or a bus dressed out as a ram ... both are implements extensively used in sheep herding
23:02:49 <Vorpal> heh
23:02:54 <oerjan> and if you believe all this, you're what the germans call RAMMSTEIN
23:03:09 <olsner> that or a sheep herder
23:03:18 <olsner> unless that's what rammstein means
23:03:35 <Vorpal> olsner, google translate fails that :/
23:03:43 <Vorpal> olsner, but it *does* detect it as german
23:03:47 <Vorpal> which is interesting
23:04:07 <olsner> Vorpal: btw, rammstein is also the name of a well-known german band
23:04:14 <Vorpal> oh okay
23:04:25 <olsner> yes
23:04:28 <Vorpal> olsner, I wouldn't know, I don't listen much to modern music
23:04:39 <olsner> most sheep herders don't
23:05:26 <Vorpal> olsner, are you saying I'm a sheep herder!? Come on, don't insult me. I'm a honest goat owner. I'm not some shady sheep farmer.
23:05:27 <oerjan> "They took their name (adding an "m") from the location of a German tragedy where 80 people were hurt and killed as the result of a crash during an American Air Force flight show. The literal translation of "ram stein" is a battering ram made of stone."
23:05:39 <olsner> Vorpal: goat are sheep
23:05:48 <Vorpal> olsner, now you are getting worse
23:06:03 <olsner> go tar sheep?
23:06:12 <oerjan> but if you fuck _one_ goat...
23:06:25 <Vorpal> olsner, I prefer using pax to tar
23:06:27 <Vorpal> it is posix
23:06:34 <Vorpal> olsner, ask ais
23:07:00 <ais523> oerjan: but I use pax as a joke :)
23:07:01 <ais523> err
23:07:03 <ais523> olsner:
23:07:04 <ais523> err
23:07:06 <ais523> Vorpal:
23:07:08 <ais523> got there in the end
23:07:10 <Vorpal> olsner, anyway I thought DDR memory was a dancing game, right?
23:07:20 <Vorpal> ais523, so do I
23:07:27 <ais523> and it stands for "double data rate" as well as "dance dance revolution"
23:07:38 <ais523> I think it's clocked on both the rising and the falling clock edge
23:07:49 <Vorpal> ais523, you are wrong. Or so says olsner
23:07:56 <ais523> and that makes your circuitry so much more complex you only do it if you're trying to squeeze out the last few points of performance
23:07:57 <oerjan> i think DDR memory is called "Ostalgie" these days.
23:08:17 <Vorpal> olsner, did you say what DDR itself meant? You didn't did you
23:08:48 <olsner> I didn't, but the memory standard is named from the Deutsche Demokratische Republik ... it took until DDR2 to figure out how to store binary data in the thingies though
23:08:50 <Vorpal> ais523, anyway this whole discussion was a big joke, so thus don't treat it seriously :P
23:09:05 <ais523> Vorpal: I don't think I was :)
23:11:21 <Vorpal> ais523, anyway if you are interested, look QDR up, that stuff actually exists.
23:11:36 <ais523> Vorpal: I know it exists
23:11:48 <Vorpal> ais523, I think ODR exists too. Which is insane
23:11:50 <ais523> from an electronic engineering point of view, I think it's crazy, but see why it might be necessary
23:12:08 <ais523> it involves breaking simplifying assumptions that are used pretty much everywhere
23:12:13 <ais523> so it's much harder to reason about such circuits
23:12:15 <Vorpal> ais523, oh?
23:12:20 <Vorpal> for example?
23:12:38 <Vorpal> ais523, I believe RAMBUS was ODR btw
23:12:55 <ais523> "things happen at leading edges only" and "the clock rate is the only thing that determines timing, because timing differences are eaten up by latches"
23:13:05 <ais523> you can't use the standard combinatorial+latches model of the circuit any more
23:13:06 <olsner> oh, apparently the Quadrennial Defence Review was requested as a consequence of the dissolution of the soviets, presumably including the DDR
23:13:09 <Vorpal> oh yeah...
23:13:19 <Vorpal> olsner, heh
23:13:41 <oerjan> ddr wasn't part of the soviet union. sheesh don't you know _anything_.
23:13:58 <oerjan> (only oppressed by them.)
23:14:54 <Vorpal> I presume you have already seen this, but it seems pretty crazy: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-21193634
23:14:55 <olsner> oerjan: I don't know anything about Gwleidyddiaeth or any such business
23:15:08 <ais523> yeah, I've seen that
23:15:30 <ais523> basically, Antigua were given permission to violate a certain amount of US copyrights as compensation for the US violating a trade agreement, or something like that
23:15:41 <Vorpal> ais523, by this logic you could semi-legally move GPL code from US into that country and re-release it as BSD?
23:15:47 <Vorpal> I think?
23:16:18 <Vorpal> or maybe not
23:16:21 <ais523> Vorpal: not quite, as far as I can tell there's no way to get a workable downstream license
23:16:29 <Vorpal> hm okay
23:16:30 <ais523> so Americans wouldn't be able to use the resulting code
23:16:42 <Vorpal> ais523, well okay, what about the rest of the world?
23:16:50 <olsner> not at all, or just not under another license?
23:17:03 <ais523> Vorpal: I don't know
23:17:06 <Vorpal> olsner, presumably they could under the original license
23:17:43 <olsner> presumably... otherwise you could just Antiguate all code and make it unusable in the US
23:19:16 <Vorpal> yeah
23:20:35 <Vorpal> ais523, what the fuck, BBC breaks middle-click-to-open-in-new-tab
23:20:38 <Vorpal> at least in chrome
23:20:41 <Vorpal> utterly annoying
23:27:14 <Vorpal> can anyone explain the theory behind darcs
23:27:29 <Vorpal> I would guess either ais523 or elliott knows where to find out more about it.
23:28:00 <ais523> https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Understanding_Darcs/Patch_theory
23:28:19 <oerjan> my knowledge on the subject is a little patchy
23:32:01 <Phantom_Hoover> Vorpal, middle-click works fine in chrome for me.
23:32:30 <Phantom_Hoover> ...but not on article links.
23:32:44 <Phantom_Hoover> ???
23:33:24 <elliott> Vorpal: no, nobody can
23:33:41 <elliott> (AIUI)
23:33:44 <elliott> well, that's unfair
23:33:46 <elliott> it's what ais523 would say :)
23:34:01 <shachaf> hellorpal
23:34:07 <shachaf> hais523
23:34:14 <ais523> elliott: except I replied with a link
23:34:18 <shachaf> what are some good concurrency primitives
23:34:27 <ais523> shachaf: how primitive do you want?
23:34:36 <ais523> mathematically, the mutex is the one we use most often, and we build other things out of that
23:34:47 <ais523> if you want something practical, compare-and-swap can be more efficient
23:34:57 <ais523> although it requires some sort of scheduler support if you don't want to busywait
23:35:07 <ais523> so basically, high-level or low-level?
23:35:10 <shachaf> how about for coöperative threading
23:35:13 <shachaf> high-level and nice
23:35:56 -!- Bike_ has changed nick to Bike.
23:36:00 <ais523> oh, with coöperative threading, you don't need any primitives but yield
23:36:06 <ais523> if you're not yielding, you're automatically in a critical section
23:36:54 <shachaf> Well, some things could be nice as primitives.
23:37:03 <shachaf> If you want to communicate with other threads, for example.
23:37:25 <oerjan> `addquote <shachaf> what are some good concurrency primitives <ais523> shachaf: how primitive do you want?
23:37:29 <ais523> oh, I was assuming shared memory
23:37:29 <HackEgo> 948) <shachaf> what are some good concurrency primitives <ais523> shachaf: how primitive do you want?
23:37:50 <ais523> without that, you need some sort of send/receive that can figure out what each other are talking about
23:38:18 -!- augur has joined.
23:38:49 <Bike> hey ais, do you use pi calculus in your academic whatevers?
23:39:17 <shachaf> Shared memory is fine but what sort of variables do you take as primitives?
23:39:38 <ais523> Bike: no, but enough other people do that I know it's relevant here
23:39:46 <ais523> I recognise it, but don't really reason with it
23:40:13 <Bike> kay
23:41:38 <ais523> it's mostly used in security in my department
23:42:41 <Vorpal> <Phantom_Hoover> ...but not on article links. <-- yeah that is what I tried
23:43:04 <Vorpal> elliott, ais523: thanks
23:43:35 <Vorpal> <ais523> if you want something practical, compare-and-swap can be more efficient <-- what about double compare and swap
23:44:00 <Vorpal> ais523, as in compare a and swap with b, and also compare c and swap with d. IIRC some old Motorola had that
23:44:22 <Vorpal> err, compare a with b and swap with c, and compare c with d and swap with e
23:44:24 <Vorpal> obviously
23:44:35 <ais523> Vorpal: that sounds like an optimization
23:45:07 <Vorpal> ais523, iirc it allow you to do some stuff normal CAS can't do reasonably. Like a wait-free queue. Read about that somewhere
23:45:43 <elliott> ais523: atomicity isn't an optimisation
23:45:50 <Vorpal> ais523, I think both needs to match for any of the swap to happen?
23:46:14 <ais523> elliott: well CAS is enough to implement anything
23:46:18 <Vorpal> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_compare-and-swap
23:46:23 <ais523> but it often takes a bunch of commands to do so
23:46:45 <Vorpal> ais523, "One of the advantages of DCAS is the ability to implement atomic deques (i.e. doubly linked lists).[2]"
23:46:46 <Vorpal> hm
23:47:05 <ais523> sort-of like you can see C as an optimization of brainfuck
23:48:14 <Vorpal> elliott, remember that paper I linked at one point, of that interesting OS that used DCAS amongst other things?
23:48:19 <Vorpal> elliott, do you remember the name of it?
23:48:30 <Vorpal> some old master thesis iirc?
23:48:37 <Bike> synthesis?
23:48:52 <elliott> Synthesis is cool.
23:48:53 <Vorpal> Bike, thanks
