00:00:20 <quintopia> well i give up
00:00:24 <FreeFull> The door was actualyl rusted shut
00:00:28 <FreeFull> actually too
00:00:57 <zzo38> FreeFull: No. (Well, maybe it is; I haven't tried. But that isn't the reason.)
00:01:45 <quintopia> FreeFull: he said kjugobe doesn't WANT it opened, not that it can't be opened.
00:01:45 <zzo38> The reason I don't want it open is that if whoever has the key is asked to open the door, due to whatever is happening, it may easily interfere with the schedules of this ship (a merchant ship) arriving and departing at certain areas.
00:02:19 <quintopia> zzo38: who would have guessed that. no one.
00:02:37 <zzo38> quintopia: Maybe if you read it, someone might have guessed?
00:03:15 <quintopia> i'm pretty sure no one else would have guessed on the basis of me reading
00:03:15 <zzo38> So the reason has nothing to do with the door itself (other than the fact that it is locked and I don't have the key).
00:03:57 <zzo38> But I have a way to get in anyways, despite teleportation not being allowed into and out of the cell.
00:04:08 <zzo38> And I have this rope and sanding block I can use in there too.
00:06:08 <zzo38> The prisoner's name is Shadowsteel, I think. I have almost completely broken his concentration, I think.
00:07:44 <zzo38> Anyways if you can read the entire story and still don't understand, then maybe you aren't good enough at this game?

02:07:07 <int-e> b_jonas: https://github.com/int-e/zeckendorf now deals with trailing zeros and has truncating subtraction for zeckendorf numbers (e.g. [] - [1] = [])
02:08:07 <quintopia> yay zeckendorf
02:14:35 <Phantom_Hoover> good dorf
02:14:40 <Phantom_Hoover> up there with haus and ganon
02:15:41 <kmc> can we talk about dorps instead
02:15:46 <kmc> like nieuw dorp
02:22:07 <Phantom_Hoover> that's the only dorp, except for a south african musical group based in london
02:22:39 <kmc> guess there's no oud dorp
02:22:59 <kmc> several nieuw dorps but which one is the nieuwest
02:24:55 <oerjan> the one that isn't built yet
02:25:46 <LinearInterpol> http://np.reddit.com/r/Physics/comments/1svri5/ive_solved_the_theory_of_everything_try_and_prove/ce1pd2n
02:25:58 <LinearInterpol> the actual fuck is this.
02:26:01 <quintopia> int-e: does NegaZeckendorf just use -1,-2,-3 etc.
02:26:26 <Phantom_Hoover> LinearInterpol, you're oko right
02:26:30 <quintopia> from the title it looks like a stellar example of fractured ceramics
02:26:35 <LinearInterpol> Phantom_Hoover: nope.
02:26:42 <Bike> it appears to be garbage, LinearInterpol
02:26:48 <LinearInterpol> "Gravity (which doesn't actually exist) is n=0"
02:26:53 <LinearInterpol> u fokin wot
02:26:54 <int-e> quintopia: 1 -1 2 -3 5 -8 13 etc; the signs alternate. (or, more easily, you use the fibonacci numbers with negative indices, F_{-1},F_{-2},...)
02:26:59 <Phantom_Hoover> LinearInterpol, that's precisely the response i'd expect from oko, see
02:27:12 <LinearInterpol> check my host, I don't know who oko is. :P
02:27:49 <Phantom_Hoover> HMMMM
02:28:02 <Phantom_Hoover> i'd put nothing past him/you
02:28:11 <quintopia> int-e: that would have been my second guess
02:28:14 <Phantom_Hoover> i trustirth him a long time ago
02:28:36 <LinearInterpol> I don't know who the hell "oko" is.

02:30:27 <oerjan> <LinearInterpol> the actual fuck is this. <-- standard 5.5 f crank, tin covered
02:30:28 <quintopia> what oklofok said
02:30:46 <quintopia> oerjan: f is for?
02:30:54 <Phantom_Hoover> oklofok, why are you pretending to be LinearInterpol pretending to not be you
02:31:23 <LinearInterpol> because I'm actually oklofok.
02:31:25 <LinearInterpol> obv
02:31:33 <quintopia> THEN WHO WAS PHONE
02:31:50 <oerjan> quintopia: feet, duh
02:31:52 <LinearInterpol> quintopia: yes.
02:32:04 <oerjan> (cranks always use imperial, being mainly us engineers)
02:32:10 <Phantom_Hoover> oklofok was also phone
02:32:59 <LinearInterpol> screw imperial units.
02:33:12 <quintopia> LinearInterpol: why are you now pretending to be not oklofok who is pretending to be oklofok
02:33:14 <oklofok> okokokokokokokokokokoko
02:33:34 <LinearInterpol> but I'm not oklofok
02:33:40 <LinearInterpol> (we can do this all day)
02:33:52 * oklofok is leaving to france in a few hours
02:33:54 <oerjan> no you cannot, i'll ban you on the fifth iteration or so
02:34:08 <LinearInterpol> b-b-but
02:34:33 <oklofok> you guys being so silly
02:34:43 <quintopia> LinearInterpol: i will hex you to read all further instances of the word "cannot" as "carrot"
02:34:44 <oerjan> oklofok: bon voyage, Mr. Oskari
02:34:47 <quintopia> you will SUFFER
02:35:00 <LinearInterpol> you monster.
02:35:23 <Phantom_Hoover> oklofok, why would you go to france
02:35:26 <Phantom_Hoover> it's full of french
02:35:42 <oklofok> yeah
02:35:55 <oklofok> it's horrrrrrrible
02:36:37 <oerjan> if only boily were here to warn him
02:36:50 <quintopia> boily would warn him in french
02:36:56 <quintopia> does oklofok speak the francais
02:36:59 <oklofok> no
02:37:08 <oerjan> quintopia: precisely what's needed to scare some sense into him!
02:37:20 <quintopia> oerjan: it does sound right dreadful
02:37:33 <oklofok> i speak spanish well enough to buy beer, pizza and pants though
02:37:33 <quintopia> oklofok: what's in france for you
02:37:51 <oklofok> i'm going to talk about some stuff we did in chile last week
02:38:00 <LinearInterpol> donde est mi pantalones.
02:38:01 <quintopia> oh
02:38:07 <quintopia> who's paying you
02:38:37 <oklofok> we did some percolation theory stuff and just after i send the abstract to france, we found out that the guy whose book we had been using published an article about the exact same thing
02:38:49 <quintopia> por qué la cervez in mi pantalones
02:38:50 <kmc> donde están mis pantalones
02:38:51 <kmc> isn't it?
02:39:00 <oklofok> (i don't know if he has all our results, but probably he has most of them)
02:39:11 <oklofok> i'm being paid by the university people
02:39:17 <quintopia> well i guess its an idea whose time has come
02:39:19 <oklofok> this thing http://perso.ens-lyon.fr/nathalie.aubrun/DySyCo.html#program
02:39:36 <zzo38> Do you have a spell to make caster refuse to visit France? (it is one of the spells in ifMUD, I think)
02:40:11 <Phantom_Hoover> no
02:40:15 <oklofok> unfortunately my mana pool is empty
02:40:31 <Phantom_Hoover> what would even be the point of that, if i don't want to go to france i can do that without a spell
02:40:53 <oklofok> quintopia: everyone in the CA community is suddenly doing some sort of probabilistic stuff
02:41:12 <oklofok> so yeah basically
02:41:14 <oerjan> oklofok: a highly unlikely coincidence!
02:41:28 <quintopia> oerjan: probably
02:42:04 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
02:42:07 <oklofok> may have to do with the fact that lots of people in the CA community (not me) seem to think that there are not that many new things to do
02:42:17 <Bike> "Characterizing complexity and computability classes with polynomial ordinary differential equations." oh hey, neat.
02:42:28 <oklofok> is that one of the talks
02:42:43 <Bike> it's in the link, yeah.
02:43:03 <oklofok> that does sound cool
02:43:15 <Bike> i've seen a few papers on it, i don't remember if bournez was on them
02:43:49 <Bike> he has four different cvs
02:44:10 <Bike> oh, yeah, he did. write papers i've read probably i mean
02:44:30 <Bike> "Computability and computational complexity of the evolution of nonlinear dynamical systems" "Computation with perturbed dynamical systems" etc etc
02:44:50 <oklofok> omg our reading someone's paper / cotalking in a conference distance is at most 2.
02:45:31 <quintopia> does anyone know off the top of their heads the computational complexity of the problem "does there exist a planar embedding of G with at most k edge crossings?"
02:46:09 <Bike> well i just think they're kind of neat. i looked up an obscure paper of shannon's in a real physical library because of them
02:47:25 <oklofok> quintopia: sounds like a very basic question in parametrized complexity
02:47:33 <oklofok> another hot topic afaiu
02:47:55 <oklofok> (i have no idea what the answer is)
02:48:33 <oklofok> okay maybe the planar makes it very possible that there's no paper on this
02:49:18 <oklofok> also my answer probably requires that the problem of checking whether there's an embedding with at most k crossings is np-hard if k is given as input
02:49:38 <oklofok> which i don't actually know
02:51:52 <oklofok> "<oerjan> oklofok: bon voyage, Mr. Oskari" btw you're right

02:56:44 <shachaf> at least this particular monad tutorial is at a negative score so i guess i can't complain about it saying wrong things

02:57:30 <oerjan> sure

02:58:27 <shachaf> i
02:58:35 <shachaf> "definition"

03:00:30 <oerjan> `seen b_jonas
03:00:35 <HackEgo> 2013-12-14 23:08:46: <b_jonas> nope, http://caniuse.com/ doesn't mentino these
03:00:49 <oerjan> the mentino is another rarely mentioned particle
03:02:32 <int-e> @tell b_jonas I've extended https://github.com/int-e/zeckendorf to deal with trailing zeros, subtracting a larger from a smaller number (which will result in 0 for Zeckendorf numbers) and a bunch of comments. Enjoy!
03:02:32 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
03:03:36 <shachaf> oerjan: you should disable the hth disabler script
03:03:41 <shachaf> oerjan: i miss the hthful days
03:05:08 <int-e> hateful?
03:05:25 <quintopia> oklofok: it is NP-complete
03:05:41 <shachaf> hth leads to suffering
03:06:09 <quintopia> oklofok: but there are efficient approximation algorithms for graphs of bounded degree
03:06:20 <oklofok> i'm sure there are

03:26:35 <shachaf> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_problem_(mathematics)
03:27:07 <oerjan> ah
03:27:37 <shachaf> i guess saying an infinite things has one more element than another infinite things can make sense when the things are more interesting than sets
03:28:50 <shachaf> oerjan: btw you know how if you take a discrete space and then add one more element which isn't in any open set (not even the set of everything) then you get a thing which is like a pointed set
03:29:13 <shachaf> (and you keep the usual definition of continuity and so on of course)
03:29:39 <shachaf> or you can add an element which is in every set, even the "empty" one
03:29:43 <shachaf> same deal
03:29:45 <oerjan> shachaf: i assume it means "has one element that isn't in the free heyting algebra"
03:30:10 <shachaf> sure
03:31:17 <oerjan> shachaf: i am not sure i know, unless you are talking about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandroff_extension

04:50:43 <oerjan> Quotation found in the comments of http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=1622: Sidney Morgenbesser (to B.F. Skinner): “So, you’re telling me it’s wrong to anthropomorphise humans?“
04:52:00 <Bike> that is a basic way to explain behaviorism
04:52:34 <oerjan> that explains why googling it led me to http://lesswrong.com/lw/6i5/behaviorism_beware_anthropomorphizing_humans/
04:53:31 <Bike> oh boy, lesswrong. but yeah the idea is basically to say that introspection isn't admissible, so you're left with what you can actually observe and record people doing.
04:54:14 <Bike> and that avoids thinking and poetry and other human things.
04:55:22 <oerjan> the other blog post started with aaronson getting interviewed by yudkowsk[iy]'s institute, btw.
04:55:44 <Bike> yeah, sigh
04:56:05 <oerjan> i mean, the first one.
04:56:31 <oerjan> you can sigh when you get to lubos motl's response. which i skipped. hth
04:56:43 <Bike> also i'm trying to think of morgenbesser, i swear i've heard that name or something like it
04:57:29 <Bike> oskar morgenstern. i am officially bad at names.
04:58:15 <Bike> motl's that recurrent guy right
04:58:26 <Bike> who says things like, well, that
05:00:44 <oerjan> he's pretty recurrently offensive
05:00:51 <Bike> right
05:01:35 <oerjan> also by skipping i meant not actually reading much of his blog post.
05:01:45 <oerjan> because, wat
05:01:48 <quintopia> jconn: nice multiplication table
05:01:49 <jconn> quintopia: nice multiplication table
05:02:04 <Bike> oerjan: you actually clicked the link?
05:02:12 <oerjan> well yes.
05:02:24 <Bike> but why
05:02:39 <oerjan> not enough previous negative reinforcement.
05:02:42 <quintopia> oerjan: that was a good interview
05:02:49 * oerjan is reading the behaviorist thing now
05:03:01 <Bike> behaviorist thing?
05:03:10 <oerjan> Bike: on less wrong.
05:03:24 <Bike> oh
05:03:31 <oerjan> it's not so long.
05:03:46 <oerjan> also it's not by yudkowsky himself.
05:06:56 <oerjan> "[Evolution] is is especially too slow and large-grained to produce human-level behavior: citing my sources in MLA format is an important skill, and I don't want to have to wait until ten generations of my ancestors have perished for citing their sources incorrectly before I can do it right."
05:07:24 <oerjan> hmph, the "is is" was in the original
05:08:23 <Bike> do they mention the endocrine system
05:09:07 <oerjan> not that i can see
05:09:26 <Bike> since it's the behavioral modulator that's faster than genetics but slower than synapses
05:10:01 <oerjan> ah
05:10:02 <quintopia> the article is about skinner's program of explaining thoughts in addition to behavior, and the idea that mental behavior is created by a process akin to evolution.
05:10:18 <quintopia> it doesn't go into detail about mechanisms
05:10:24 <oerjan> `? quintopia
05:10:26 <HackEgo> quintopia? ¯\(°​_o)/¯
05:10:38 <oerjan> `learn quintopia is our resident tl;dr generator.
05:10:43 <HackEgo> I knew that.
05:10:54 <zzo38> Even though it is slow and large-grained, but there is a lot of time available so it doesn't matter if it is slow. If you want to cite your sources in MLA format, then read the book to explain how it is working, or ask someone how.
05:10:57 <quintopia> you're welcome
05:11:07 <quintopia> i should practice gisting anyway
05:11:25 <Bike> zzo38: the point of the quotation is to explain why something as fast and flexible as the nervous system is adaptive.
05:11:44 <Bike> well, not just the nervous system, the whole of behavioral modulation.
05:12:13 <zzo38> Bike: Ah, OK. It also explains the kind of mistake they made by typing "is is".
05:13:09 <quintopia> zzo38: it's the opposite of an anticipation error.
05:13:14 <quintopia> i would call it a recursion error
05:14:07 <Bike> it also explains how i just ate part of a toothpick by accident
05:14:15 <zzo38> Some of these .MOD files are nine bytes longer than my program expects, while others are the same size the program is expecting. Why is that?
05:14:38 <quintopia> oh
05:14:40 -!- Sprocklem has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
05:14:43 <quintopia> it's called an addition
05:14:56 <quintopia> the opposite of an anticipation error is a perseveration error
05:17:17 <quintopia> A second kind is a semantic bias which shows a tendency for sound bias to create words that are semantically related to other words in the linguistic environment. Motley and Baars (1976) found that a word pair like "get one" will more likely slip to "wet gun" if the pair before it is "damp rifle". These results suggest that we are sensitive to how things are laid out semantically.[14]

05:21:18 <oerjan> incidentally the word before "is is" was "it".

05:40:37 <quintopia> oerjan: but funny thing...heh...i accidentally mv'd /usr/include to /include the other day >.>
05:41:44 <oerjan> mv back?
05:41:58 <oerjan> oh right hm
05:42:24 <oerjan> quintopia: perhaps run a diff between the directories?
05:42:51 <quintopia> oerjan: how? /include is gone poof replaced with /usr/include
05:43:07 <quintopia> i need new copies of all those libs
05:43:17 <oerjan> you don't have a /usr/include at all now?
05:43:35 <quintopia> well, i have a soft link from there to /include
05:43:41 <oerjan> ic
05:43:54 <oerjan> was there an /include previously?
05:44:25 <quintopia> maybe not
05:44:28 <quintopia> i'm jsut guessing here
05:44:39 <quintopia> but either way i need some libraries that i don't have
05:45:16 <oerjan> here the files are in /usr/include/linux/stddef.h and /usr/include/c++/4.4/tr1/stdarg.h (also 4.3)
05:46:11 <oerjan> if you have those, maybe you are just missing the correct search paths?
05:46:22 <quintopia> yeah i have that
05:46:49 <quintopia> how do i check that
05:47:10 <quintopia> i mean, it found stdio just fine you can see
05:47:40 <oerjan> also, when i checked stdio.h only one of those files should actually be included if you have __GNUC__ set
05:49:53 <oerjan> i don't know how you set those paths.
05:51:00 <oerjan> i recommend asking someone who knows this stuff rather than guessing >:)

07:12:14 <zzo38> For the Elo rating system it is said "In some cases the rating system can discourage game activity for players who wish to protect their rating." Would inflation (like it is in money) help?
07:15:58 <zzo38> I don't really like many of the alternative systems that never decrease, either.
07:16:29 <lifthrasiir> zzo38: or decreasing the rating over the time?
07:18:45 <zzo38> lifthrasiir: It could be another possibility
07:19:27 <quintopia> zzo38: the easiest fix would be to prefer "newer" ratings. for instance, when lots of players have gained position but haven't played some high ranked old player, the system should simulate their playing that old player and try to guess what the rating would be if they had played. and it should err on the side of underguessing.
07:19:30 <zzo38> But I think using a rating system with reference dates selected (like epoch dates in astronomy are done) may do
07:20:05 <quintopia> thus the only way to keep your score accurate and not low-balled is to actually play
07:21:13 <zzo38> quintopia: Yes, I did also think of doing something like that, not exactly like your example though
07:32:34 -!- conehead has joined.
07:32:58 <fizzie> quintopia: If there was an "/include", and you did "mv /usr/include /include", you'd just have ended up with /usr/include as /include/include -- but usually there isn't an /include. (I don't have a better opinion on where those files could've gone, but being compiler-specific, they tend live in e.g. /usr/lib/gcc and come with the corresponding compiler package.)

07:52:29 <fizzie> It really was just http://zem.fi/ircvis/esoteric/people_mentions.html in graph form, though.
07:53:37 <fizzie> Perhaps I should've used something else than a global threshold for the edges, though. Like a per-node maximum degree limit.

08:33:42 <fizzie> Bah, I found one "relationship graph" but it's not #esoteric, it's -- actually, never mind, it's too complicated to explain.
08:33:55 <kmc> one time I shifted the entire universe up and to the left but nobody noticed
08:33:58 <kmc> fizzie: is it?
08:34:23 <fizzie> Well, I mean, I think it's from darkhive data.
08:34:41 <kmc> what's darkhive?
08:34:48 <fizzie> See, that's exactly what I meant.
08:35:02 <kmc> i begin to understand

08:46:07 <shachaf> there was also a dog
08:46:19 <fizzie> The "relationship" graph. I mean, we're going to have to extend that to "ever met in real life" to get at least something going.

08:48:47 <shachaf> there's _Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog)_ by Jerome K. Jerome
08:48:52 <kmc> mölkky-þing
08:48:54 <Sgeo> I want to see people use combinators inside TH expressions
08:48:58 <shachaf> but there's also _To Say Nothing of the Dog_ by Connie Willis
08:49:04 <kmc> shachaf: oh i don't know this one
08:49:05 <Sgeo> Rather than falling back on making quasiquoters
08:49:05 <shachaf> i've read both
08:49:16 <kmc> is it good
08:49:19 <kmc> the latter
08:50:14 <shachaf> hm i don't remember it v. well it was over a decade ago that i read it and also not in english so i didn't even remember that that was the title
08:50:21 <shachaf> but i think i enjoyed it
08:50:39 <shachaf> there was a cat plague in it that killed all cats on earth so they went back in time to bring cats from the past
08:50:50 <shachaf> or something like that??
08:50:59 <shachaf> but they had to find cats that wouldn't cause paradoxes
08:51:12 <olsner> so they got a dog instead?
08:51:15 <shachaf> am i making things up
08:51:18 <shachaf> hard to say
08:52:48 <oerjan> "I pay Jerome so much in royalties," the publisher told a friend, "I cannot imagine what becomes of all the copies of that book I issue. I often think the public must eat them."
08:52:51 <kmc> that's v. confusing

16:21:47 <LinearInterpol> how it works.
16:22:00 <LinearInterpol> I understand it's a rewrite system and everything but..
16:22:33 <LinearInterpol> does outputting symbols suddenly trigger a race condition or something?
16:22:35 <Bike> it's just that if more than one rule cn apply you have to pick one.
16:22:42 <LinearInterpol> oh.
16:22:49 <LinearInterpol> ohhhh.
16:22:51 <LinearInterpol> oh..
16:23:09 -!- jconn has joined.
16:23:30 <LinearInterpol> so underneath you're just essentially using something like an RNG to select which definition to use.
16:23:59 <LinearInterpol> or something to that effect to make said decision.
16:24:05 <Bike> no. it's just not defined.
16:24:20 <Bike> you could always pick the first one, or always pick the last one, or use an RNG on alternate tuesdays.

18:53:25 <mroman> but the same thing should apply to 255 as well
18:53:29 <mroman> you just need more spacing
18:54:32 <mroman> if you need a new cell, you set up the spacing

22:37:24 <mrhmouse> I know many here use Haskell, but talk earlier regarding Python, Ruby, Groovy, etc has me interested in what else is in use. I know that you, at least, use Rust
22:38:47 <Taneb> I am currently forced to use Python
22:39:04 <mrhmouse> Taneb: for university?
22:39:07 <Taneb> Aye
22:39:10 <kmc> I used to write Haskell quite often, but not lately
22:41:01 <kmc> lately it's mostly Rust, Python, C, Bash, GNU Make, JavaScript, x86 assembly
22:41:06 <Bike> lisps for fuckwithing, matlab at woik
22:41:19 <Bike> and i have a few things in verilog and javascript i should really finish.
22:43:30 <kmc> i have been paid to write perl, haskell, c, c++, java, assembly, shell, make, rust, javascript, prolly some others
22:43:33 <kmc> scheme if being a TA counts
22:43:51 <shachaf> remember when you were paid to write nops
22:44:07 <kmc> yep
22:46:09 <mrhmouse> I currently use C#, CoffeeScript, and D most often. I'm learning Erlang & OCaml, and I have to use C#/JavaScript/T-SQL at work.
22:46:49 -!- muskrat has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds).
22:47:24 <mrhmouse> kmc: you were paid to write makefiles? specifically for the makefiles, or were they part of other projects you were on?
22:47:52 <Bike> a programming project wth one person working specifically n the build process would be kind of neat.
22:48:05 <kmc> that's common on large projects
22:48:17 <kmc> it rapidly grows to be a full-time job
22:48:26 <kmc> especially if you support lots of platforms
22:48:36 <kmc> mrhmouse: part of other projects
22:49:48 <mrhmouse> does Rust have a dependency management system? I've been language-hopping lately looking for a language that I like _and_ that has a good dep manager.
22:50:27 <mrhmouse> something like NPM for NodeJS, Ruby Gems, D's Dub, Rebar, etc etc..
22:52:42 <kmc> not really
22:53:20 <kmc> there's this rustpkg thing but it's not very complete
22:53:52 <kmc> and I don't know about the current pace of development, since the main developer left Mozilla
22:54:14 <kmc> you could look for docs or ask in #rust on irc.mozilla.org; they probably have a better idea how capable it is
22:54:17 <kmc> I've only used it a little
22:54:55 <kmc> the project I work on uses Make for the top-level build, and does build some individual dependencies with rustpkg, but we're having problems with it and we're probably switching away
22:55:23 <mrhmouse> I was only curious; Rust struck me as too low-level for my needs when I checked it out ages ago. Though their pointer types seem far nicer than C++
22:55:48 -!- Sorella has joined.
22:55:50 <kmc> it is a low-level language, yeah, though it's memory safe at the same time, which is really cool
22:56:18 <kmc> and yeah, the pointer types express concepts which exist in C and C++, but in those languages they exist mostly in the programmer's head and can't be checked automatically
22:56:29 -!- Sorella has quit (Changing host).
22:56:29 -!- Sorella has joined.
22:57:48 <mrhmouse> I remember thinking that was useful (owned pointers, I think they're called?)
22:58:35 <kmc> yeah C also has a notion of pointers which transfer ownership vs. those which don't
22:58:52 <shachaf> C or just C programmers?
22:58:53 <kmc> for example, strdup takes the latter and returns the former
22:59:07 <kmc> but there's zero compiler checking and if you screw it up you corrupt memory
22:59:16 <kmc> shachaf: well, C APIs anyway
22:59:30 <mrhmouse> right, so it's not part of the language spec like in Rusy
22:59:44 <kmc> yeah
22:59:44 <mrhmouse> s/sy/st
22:59:53 <LinearInterpol> woo, C!
23:00:00 <kmc> i mention this by way of heading off the criticism (not from you, but in general) that Rust has too many pointer types
23:00:06 <fizzie> mrhmouse: s|$|/|
23:00:07 <shachaf> on the other hand i heard that you can't do self.tree = <a thing that uses self.tree> in rust
23:00:08 <kmc> it's just codifying and checking things that already exist
23:00:31 <mrhmouse> fizzie: but that yields "Rus", no?
23:00:44 <fizzie> mrhmouse: No, it just adds the / you were missing.
23:00:52 <mrhmouse> fizzie: d'oh!
23:01:20 <Bike> kievan rus't
23:01:46 <kmc> fizzie: regexes operating on regexes? that should be an esolang, oh wait
23:03:00 <mrhmouse> honestly I'd prefer to use C# more at home, but the most popular package manager has some issues on Mono
23:03:43 <kmc> :/
23:03:58 <kmc> yeah, C# seems like a pretty good language, but I'm scared off using it more due to my impression that non-MS tools are half-baked
23:04:46 <mrhmouse> kmc: I can't vouch for MonoDevelop, if that's what you mean. I primarily use Vim & gmcs directly
23:05:07 <mrhmouse> Mono itself is pretty mature, though.
23:05:39 <kmc> that's good
23:05:42 <kmc> but this package manager isn't?
23:05:59 <mrhmouse> it's just that NuGet (the MS package manager) does things like hardcode paths to look for config files (%AppData%\LocalLow\something)
23:06:12 <kmc> sigh
23:06:30 <mrhmouse> so it's more on the NuGet devs :/
23:07:01 <mrhmouse> also, NuGet really shouldn't have existed in the first place.. there was already a package manager in place that works cross-platform, but MS rolled their own

23:44:59 <Fiora> Bike: oh gosh, the messing with the stack pointer thing. that reminds me of a post I saw once on how to get 8 registers on x86
23:45:09 <Fiora> by stuffing the stack pointer in a memory location and using esp as a register
23:45:09 <Bike> i'm afraid.
23:45:13 <Bike> yes.
23:45:27 <Bike> i'm just kind of in awe that there was a "zero page" you could make be anywhere
23:45:32 <Fiora> it sounded like the kind of thing that could make the OS hate you
23:45:45 <Fiora> gosh, yeah, I still don't really understand the zero page thing, like, I've seen it in documentation for these old things but it's weird
23:46:47 <olsner> instructions with a single byte offset can access the zero page in one cycle less than an instruction with two bytes offset
23:46:53 <kmc> this thing has an OS?
23:47:02 <olsner> (due to being one byte smaller)
23:47:08 <Bike> well like, 6502 had two-byte addressing, where each one-byte block was a "page", and there was an addressing mode where you just use the second byte and the first byte is zero.
23:47:11 <Bike> or dp, on this thing
23:50:18 <kmc> AVR is kind of like that too
23:50:31 <kmc> the "registers" are just the first n bytes of RAM, with a special compact addressing mode
23:51:18 <int-e> yay, zero page.
23:51:58 <Bike> so in Metroid all your stats were in the zp, as i remember
23:53:30 <LinearInterpol> what'cha discussin'.
23:54:20 <oerjan> magic.
23:54:26 <LinearInterpol> 6502 you say
23:54:49 <LinearInterpol> index registers ftw.
