00:02:41 <Gregor> "Buckle up, boys. This jump leads to space, and that's really high."
00:09:23 <Roujo> So there's no treaty, is there?
00:09:32 <Roujo> Oh
00:09:34 <Roujo> Now there is
00:09:47 <oerjan> there are many treaties, Roujo
00:10:41 <Roujo> Yeah, I was thinking of the Hexham one
00:10:44 <oerjan> btw i may have confused Taneb with the topic. Which ones? of you {is,are} in Lachine again?
00:10:49 <Roujo> I am
00:11:22 <Roujo> Well, I live there. I'm at my parents' now =P
00:15:30 <Phantom_Hoover> are hexham, lachine and helsinki in a line
00:17:00 -!- Koen_ has quit (Quit: Koen_).
00:19:49 <Bike> in some topology, maybe
00:23:59 <oerjan> itym "metric"
00:24:21 <Phantom_Hoover> is a metric sufficient for lines
00:25:43 <Bike> oerjan: what sounds better: "topology" or "metric"
00:25:45 <oerjan> well, geodesics
00:25:45 <Bike> i rest my case.
00:26:36 <oerjan> Bike: the problem is that the usual topology on a euclidean space doesn't contain enough information to define the usual lines.
00:27:09 <oerjan> while metric is enough to define lines as geodesics.
00:27:39 <Bike> sounds like a boring problem
00:29:52 <oerjan> well, to put it differently, you can find a diffeomorphism from a sphere to itself that (by consequence of the definition) preserves the topology and maps any finite set of points you want to a great circle.
00:30:16 <Bike> i'm seeing a lot of words here that aren't "topology"
00:32:09 <oerjan> ...whatever, you're just joking anyway.
00:32:24 <Bike> yes
00:33:37 <oerjan> but i'll mention the old chestnut: a topologist is someone who cannot see the difference between his donut and his coffee cup.
00:56:17 <Roujo> oerjan: I haven't seen you say hth for a while... Is there a treaty for that too?
00:56:46 <oerjan> no, there's an irssi script
00:56:54 <Roujo> What
00:57:03 <oerjan> elliott wrote it
00:57:13 <Roujo> It prevents you from saying it? =P
00:57:27 <Bike> oerjan is one of those weird people that needs computers to stop him from doing simple things, sometimes.
00:57:29 <Phantom_Hoover> maybe it puts it at the end of all his lines
00:57:30 <oerjan> it censors hth from the end of lines.
00:57:36 <Roujo> Nice =P
00:59:16 <Roujo> When you said there was a script, I assumed it was on his end
00:59:26 <Roujo> À la "you get a kick if you say it"
01:01:05 <oerjan> ...don't give him ideas.
01:01:36 <Roujo> @tell elliott I have an idea for you, but oerjan doesn't want to tell you. Just saying.
01:01:37 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
01:01:43 <Roujo> Well
01:01:45 <oerjan> NOOOO
01:01:47 <Roujo> doesn't want me*
01:02:29 <Roujo> @tell elliott Actually, he just doesn't want me to tell you. Although my guess is that he doesn't want to tell you either.
01:02:29 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
01:02:36 <Roujo> There we go
01:02:40 <Roujo> @tell lambdabot Thanks
01:02:40 <lambdabot> Nice try ;)
01:02:41 <Roujo> ^^
01:04:33 <Roujo> oerjan: He'll know now, hth
01:05:34 <oerjan> 's ok i'll just threaten with turning off the script.
01:06:14 <oerjan> or maybe he'll kick everyone _else_ instead, because hey, i've got a script
01:06:14 <Roujo> ^^
01:06:21 <Roujo> Yeah, that would be nice
01:06:22 <Roujo> Anyway

13:35:46 <carado> hi
13:35:50 <Roujo> Heya ^^
13:35:54 <carado> thanks for the welcome
13:36:02 <Roujo> You're, well, welcome
13:36:23 <carado> I’m amazed to see that this channel seems very active
13:36:25 <Koen_> warning: entering infinite loop
13:36:32 <Roujo> Well
13:36:32 <Roujo> Well

13:36:59 <Roujo> I'ts been quiet since 03 this morning
13:37:00 <Koen_> you're welcome Roujo
13:37:06 <Roujo> Thanks =P
13:40:48 <Koen_> carado: so what do we owe the pleasure to?

14:18:18 -!- daakl has joined.
14:18:31 <daakl> Can you create a program which can build, print and calculate integer equations? It must support: 1. Addition 2. Multiplication 3. Division 4. Subtraction 5. Negation 6. Ternary
14:18:50 <daakl> here's a partial example of my Ocaml solution which builds this integer equation. let ans = Unary( Negative, Multi( Value 10, Ternary(Value 10, Greater, Value 12, Value 34, Value 45)));;
14:19:08 <daakl> The program will then calculate and display the integer equation. -450 = -(10 * (10 > 12 ? 34 : 45))
14:23:38 <elliott> daakl: are you mafingre?
14:24:20 <daakl> Does it matter?
14:24:29 <elliott> yes, because mafingre is banned, so you would be ban evading
14:24:48 <elliott> you have a very similar IP (and the same ISP) as lekrel yesterday, who ignored this question
14:24:58 <elliott> but I suppose your response is basically confirmation in itself, unless you actually deny it?
14:25:11 <daakl> elliott: What is a similar IP supposed to mean?
14:25:21 <daakl> And same ISP?
14:25:26 <daakl> what was mafingres ISP?
14:25:44 <elliott> it means that, combined with very similar behaviour (especially dodging questions about who you are), I'm pretty confident you are the same person
14:26:09 <elliott> mafingre's ISP was not identical to yours; however, it was in the same country, and you may be using some form of mobile internet from the looks of the whois result
14:26:10 <daakl> elliott: Similar to what?
14:26:29 <daakl> elliott: Ok, I am in the same country with 22 million other people
14:26:33 <elliott> but I'm wondering why you wouldn't just say "no". do you deny that you are mafingre? yes or no
14:26:51 <daakl> elliott: I was lekrel from yesterday
14:26:59 <daakl> But I do not know who mafingre is
14:27:11 <elliott> ok, but do you deny that you are the same person as them?
14:27:26 <daakl> And I ask "Does it matter" because you asked exactly the same question yesterday
14:27:31 <daakl> As whom?
14:28:11 <elliott> well, I'd generally expect someone who doesn't know who mafingre is, and isn't them, to have an easier time of sending a message like "no, I am not the same person that used the nick 'mafingre' in the past" to the channel
14:28:52 <daakl> I have never even heard of a mafingre
14:29:06 <daakl> First time in this channel was yesterday
14:29:29 <elliott> ok. I don't really believe you, but ok.
14:30:12 <Koen_> so back to your question
14:30:17 <daakl> Whatever floats your boat, now back on topic
14:30:51 <elliott> what you said wasn't actually on-topic here, to be pedantic, but ok.
14:30:53 <Koen_> the hardest part in making a calculator is usually parsing the expression
14:31:09 <daakl> I did my version in oCaml
14:31:12 <Koen_> and your program doesn't have to do that, since the expression is already parsed
14:32:29 <daakl> http://pastebin.com/EaXkL3nt
14:32:49 <Koen_> daaki: try the opposite: a program that reads an expression like -(10 * (10 > 12 ? 34 : 45)), and computes the result
14:34:04 <Koen_> also your ternary actually expects five operands so it should be called pentary:p
14:34:34 <Koen_> for instance you can't use it to write stuff like (false ? 3 : 4)
14:34:53 <Koen_> or (0 ? 3 : 4) if you're using integers as booleans as it does in C
14:36:01 <Koen_> in which case <, >, <=, >=, = and != would be arithmetic operators which always yield 0 (for false) or 1 (for true)
14:47:29 <nooodl> i'm bored enough for this apparently http://codepad.org/KYMwwi5y
14:49:07 <Koen_> that's pretty board nooodl
14:49:11 <Koen_> bored
14:49:25 <nooodl> oops i forgot to rename it Pentary

16:10:28 <zzo38> Hello
16:10:36 <zzo38> What question now?
16:10:51 <quintopia> thats a metaquestion
16:11:07 <quintopia> so
16:11:22 <quintopia> why dont you play arkeon zzo38?
16:12:00 <zzo38> Because I don't know what that is.
16:13:50 <quintopia> but i've already told you about it before
16:14:13 <zzo38> Well, it is mainly the reason, anyways. Other reason is because I forgot.
16:14:36 <quintopia> that's okay. i've reminded you now.
16:16:59 <Jafet> nooodl: http://codepad.org/GZdBEwxq
16:17:14 <zzo38> No, I still don't remember.
16:19:56 <quintopia> zzo38: have you heard about arkeon?
16:20:03 <zzo38> quintopia: From you.
16:20:22 <quintopia> zzo38: oh okay. just making sure you don't forget.
16:21:31 <zzo38> That doesn't make me remember if I am unaware what that means!
16:28:42 <quintopia> zzo38: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.hyperfiction.arkeon&hl=en&referrer=utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_term%3Darkeon
16:29:32 <zzo38> Maybe that is why. I don't have Google Apps in my computer.
16:29:34 <Koen_> Arkeon is a fast-paced strategy game influenced by traditionnal asbtract games like Chess or Go.
16:29:37 <Koen_> now that sounds cool
16:29:48 <zzo38> Yes, I suppose it does.
16:33:05 <Jafet> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkeon
16:33:30 <zzo38> OK I will look in Wikipedia later perhaps, not right now
16:33:47 <zzo38> Right now I am playing a Pokemon card game
16:40:24 -!- mnoqy has quit (Quit: hello).
16:49:31 <zzo38> You should not necessarily knock out your opponent's cards. I sometimes win by not knocking out opponent's cards when I have a choice.
16:50:46 <Koen_> is that like in morris where winning is usually easier if you *don't* capture all the opponent's pawns?
16:51:33 <zzo38> No, not really.
16:52:47 <zzo38> You can win in one of three ways: * Knock out six opponent's pokemons * Leave your opponent with no cards in play * Leave your opponent with no cards in their draw pile
16:55:17 <zzo38> Sometimes opponent's cards can help you, such as powers that affect both sides, or a card that cannot attack or retreat, if it is activated they cannot do much. Also, if they already have five bench pokemons then they cannot play another one. This can be used to stall, or to gain position until you do have a better advantage to knock out opponent's cards.
16:57:56 -!- Koen_ has quit (Quit: Koen_).
16:59:10 <zzo38> If your opponent knocks out five of your cards and you knock out none of theirs, they will still lose if they run out of cards in their draw pile before they can knock out one more of your cards. (I ave won in this way before.)

21:32:16 <oerjan> i have 2009 problems but the internet ain't one. right now, anyway.

22:06:57 <augur> my god man
22:08:05 <oerjan> bancstar has been discussed here before
22:09:53 <augur> oerjan: i only just saw it in his tweetstream
22:10:03 <augur> baffling that something like that exists for serious
22:11:51 <zzo38> See if anyone can figure out the example with only the information given.

22:17:05 <Sgeo> Is there a name for this logic gate: 01,10,11=0;00=1
22:17:17 <Sgeo> I implemented that in AW years ago calling it NAND, but I think I was wrong
22:18:53 <olsner> it might be NOR
22:20:34 <oerjan> yeah it's NOR
22:20:56 <Koen_> Sgeo: "a NAND b" means "not (a and b)", so that's "either a is false or b is false"
22:21:44 <Koen_> yours is "they're both false" and that's "not (a or b)" which is a NOR b; or you could remember it as "neither a NOR b"

22:23:11 <augur> who needs names, just use the truth signature!
22:23:24 <augur> 00 = 1, 01 = 0, 10 = 0, 11 = 0
22:23:28 <augur> therefore the signature is 1000!
22:23:41 <augur> actually itd probably be better to make the signature 0001
22:25:07 <Taneb> augur, if you read NOR backwards, you're not going to think "Who the hell is RON"
22:25:08 <Sgeo> NOR still proves that any logic gate can be built, right?
22:25:12 <Taneb> Sgeo, yes
22:25:18 <Taneb> NOR and NAND are both universal
22:25:35 <augur> Taneb: im pretty sure i will
22:25:41 <augur> we ARE in #esoteric, after all!
22:25:43 <oerjan> they're also dual to each other, so if one is the other has to be
22:25:50 <augur> its in the job description to be obnoxiously obtuse!
22:25:53 <Taneb> augur, here's a hint, RON stands for Re-Open Nominations
22:26:17 <augur> oerjan: thats interesting about duality
22:28:04 <Sgeo> It doesn't prove fsm though, right? Still need a memory mechanism??
22:28:33 <oerjan> what does that even mean
22:29:25 <Koen_> Sgeo: if I understand your question right, it's kind of like if you were asking "does addition prove mathematics are a finite-state machine?"
22:30:35 <Sgeo> I'm thinking about Active Worlds, and wondering what I need to do to prove that a finite-state machine can be built.
22:31:19 <Koen_> building one would be the most explicit way to prove it

23:06:54 <Sgeo> Can you make memory out of logic gates?
23:07:22 <Fiora> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_random-access_memory ?
23:07:41 <Fiora> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-flop_(electronics) I guess
23:08:20 <Bike> depends on how you're thinking of them. often when dealing with "logic gates" you're working timelessly
23:08:48 <Bike> but yeah, sr latch is easy.

23:12:49 <kmc> currywurst??
23:13:09 <Fiora> mmm sausage
23:14:01 <Bike> Sgeo: nor being universal means that you can compute any truth table (i.e. function {0,1}^n-> {0,1} for any n) with some network of NOR gates, just to be clear. says nothing about timing
23:14:55 <Bike> n >= 1, i guess
