00:14:08 <hppavilion[1]> I had an idea for a sort of esoteric concept in programming
00:14:18 <hppavilion[1]> Somthing that could be put into libraries and such
00:15:00 <hppavilion[1]> Material Time
00:15:10 <hppavilion[1]> Anyone want to hear about it?
00:15:21 <hppavilion[1]> zzo38 perhaps?
00:16:01 <oerjan> tswett: ^^
00:16:14 <boily> hppavellon[1]. material time?
00:16:52 <hppavilion[1]> Yes
00:17:00 <hppavilion[1]> Would you like to hear about it?
00:18:04 <zzo38> OK what is idea?
00:18:06 <boily> I would like to hear about iiiiit ♪
00:18:21 <hppavilion[1]> Basically
00:18:33 <hppavilion[1]> And this is probably going to sound pretty stupid once I say it
00:19:17 <hppavilion[1]> Time in computer science is typically represented as A) A number (for durations) or B) A point in time (for time/date)
00:19:38 <hppavilion[1]> My idea is basically a way to represent time in human terms
00:20:10 <hppavilion[1]> So to represent the duration of 5 minutes, 22 seconds (in python), one might use a list or set:
00:20:39 <hppavilion[1]> [minute()*5, second()*22]
00:20:57 <hppavilion[1]> In this syntax, minute*5 returns a list of 5 minute() instances
00:21:08 <hppavilion[1]> And the same syntax is used for secodns
00:21:45 <Taneb> That's more of a bag (or multiset)
00:22:28 <hppavilion[1]> It's a pythonic list
00:23:13 <Taneb> hppavilion[1], I mean, there's no point in allowing [minute()*3, second()*12, minute()*4]
00:23:26 <Taneb> That's still 7 minutes and 12 seconds
00:23:31 <hppavilion[1]> Well yeah
00:23:37 <hppavilion[1]> But it'd technically work
00:23:42 <hppavilion[1]> Just due to bugginess
00:23:48 <hppavilion[1]> It'd work in implementation
00:24:59 <hppavilion[1]> So?
00:25:02 -!- Herbalist has joined.
00:25:27 -!- Herbalist has quit (Client Quit).
00:27:32 <hppavilion[1]> boily? zzo38?
00:27:41 <Taneb> hppavilion[1], could you use this for other measurements?
00:27:54 <hppavilion[1]> I suppose you could
00:27:58 <Taneb> Like [feet()*4, inch()*8]
00:28:07 <hppavilion[1]> I don't know why I didn't think of that :P
00:28:41 <hppavilion[1]> Though it'd be foot()*4
00:29:06 <Taneb> Good point
00:29:32 <hppavilion[1]> And there'd be rich comparison operators
00:29:51 <hppavilion[1]> So assert foot() == inch()*12 will work properly
00:30:27 <boily> [minute()*5, foot()*foot()*minute()*fungot()]
00:30:27 <fungot> boily: people dudes. only that code right there can see the bloom right
00:30:37 <boily> hppavilion[1]: you idea blooms. I approve.
00:30:40 <Taneb> And maybe inch() == millimetre()*25.6
00:30:48 <Taneb> boily, so, fungot is inverse area?
00:30:48 <fungot> Taneb: what is odd abpit tje irc protomilk
00:30:49 <boily> Tanelle. itym 25.4.
00:31:09 <boily> it's abpit tje irc hth
00:31:09 <Taneb> boily, maybe, I don't remember the precise conversion on the tenth of millimeters
00:31:20 <hppavilion[1]> The only problem with this as an Esoteric library is it could be potentially useful for better undersanding code efor some people :P
00:31:55 <hppavilion[1]> OOOH
00:31:56 <hppavilion[1]> OOH
00:32:07 <Taneb> hppavilion[1], you could get weird things like foot()*hour()*hertz() == 3600*foot()
00:32:18 <hppavilion[1]> mile*65/hour()
00:32:35 <hppavilion[1]> *mile()
00:32:57 <hppavilion[1]> though I suppose one could make a variable called mile that equals mile()
00:32:58 <hppavilion[1]> No...
00:33:03 <hppavilion[1]> That wouldn't really work
00:33:05 <hppavilion[1]> Well, it might
00:33:14 <Taneb> Yeah, none of these need to be functions
00:33:22 <hppavilion[1]> They're classes
00:33:38 <Taneb> They don't need to be classes, either
00:33:44 <hppavilion[1]> mile() is pythonic syntax for "A new instance of the mile class"
00:33:45 <hppavilion[1]> True
00:33:49 <hppavilion[1]> I do suppose not
00:34:05 <hppavilion[1]> But if we make them that, we can give them methods
00:34:25 <hppavilion[1]> And everything is nicer in the world of OCD programming if we do
00:34:32 <hppavilion[1]> So we could do things like
00:34:47 <hppavilion[1]> second.sleepfor()
00:34:57 <hppavilion[1]> I guess we could also just make a method called sleepfor()
00:35:06 <hppavilion[1]> And I guess that'd be cleaner too :P
00:35:12 <hppavilion[1]> And look nicer
00:35:17 <Taneb> I would have second, hour, etc be objects in the timeamount class or something
00:35:20 <hppavilion[1]> And be better in every way
00:35:28 <hppavilion[1]> That works
00:35:36 <boily> you should call that lib Feather.
00:35:43 <hppavilion[1]> class duration{}
00:35:58 <hppavilion[1]> class second(duration){...}
00:36:05 <hppavilion[1]> class minute(duration){...}
00:36:08 <hppavilion[1]> Etc...
00:36:16 <hppavilion[1]> Should I start work on this library?
00:36:31 <boily> you should.
00:36:58 -!- boily has quit (Quit: NOTCH CHICKEN).
00:38:09 <hppavilion[1]> Should I include Furlongs and the like?
00:42:35 <Taneb> If you like
00:43:30 <hppavilion[1]> OK
00:44:11 <hppavilion[1]> How should I implement things like miles/hour?
00:44:20 <hppavilion[1]> Should I just create a speed class with operator overloading?
00:44:32 <hppavilion[1]> Or should I do something more complex?
00:45:22 <Taneb> That is up to you
00:45:36 -!- egrep has joined.
00:46:12 <hppavilion[1]> I will, of course, use SI units for conversion
00:49:16 <hppavilion[1]> I think I'll stick with modern equivalents of SI Units, instead of old units of meaurement that they used in the past. So that'll be a pain
00:58:04 -!- Herbalist has joined.
00:58:08 -!- Herbalist has quit (Client Quit).
01:06:43 <hppavilion[1]> OK
01:06:48 <hppavilion[1]> So here's how I'm converting time
01:07:00 <hppavilion[1]> I have a list of doubles
01:07:15 <hppavilion[1]> The first item of each double is a time material
01:07:28 <hppavilion[1]> And the second is how big  it is in relation to the previous
01:07:46 <hppavilion[1]> So year is (month, 12)
01:07:56 <hppavilion[1]> Immediately followed by (decade, 10)
01:12:51 <tswett> oerjan: yeah, that sounds like what I'm remembering.
01:13:36 <tswett> hppavilion[1]: your material time idea reminds me of the idea of a programming language where variables can contain money.
01:13:54 <tswett> Of course, in such a language, you can't simply copy the value of one variable to another variable.
01:14:17 <tswett> If a function takes some money as an argument, you probably don't want to call it excessively many times.
01:15:03 <Jafet> That's an unusual usage for linear (or, since we're dealing with money, affine) types.
01:15:05 <tswett> If you have a closure that *returns* money, then you can only call the closure once, because calling it exhausts the money.

01:17:03 <tswett> So, I feel like my operating system is uncontrollably hurtling towards version 0.1.
01:17:11 <tswett> Or maybe I should call it version 0.0.1, or 0.0.0.1, or ...
01:17:28 <Jafet> Assign it a version smaller than any positive real
01:17:43 <tswett> Yes, yes, version epsilon.
01:17:58 <tswett> Version x as x approaches 0 from the right.
01:18:08 <tswett> (Not to be confused with version the limit of x as x approaches 0 from the right.)
01:18:24 <hppavilion[1]> My system will assume that a year equals 365 days becuse I don't feel like figuring out how many months _really_ go into a year
01:19:11 <tswett> Or just version -1. That's smaller than any positive real.
01:20:49 <tswett> Let's see. Maybe version 0.1 should mean "kind of vaguely sort of usable". Then version 0.0.1 should mean "it does *something* significant", and version 0.0.0.1 should mean "it does something at all".
01:21:27 <tswett> So I've already achieved version 0.0.0.1.
01:22:56 <hppavilion[1]> Well I'm bored with it for now
01:23:22 <tswett> My goals for version 0.0.1 are dynamic memory allocation, cooperative thread switching, and handling of keyboard input.
01:24:10 <hppavilion[1]> What operating system?
01:24:16 <hppavilion[1]> What are you writing it in?

01:55:56 <hppavilion[1]> Ah
01:56:08 <hppavilion[1]> That's right in the correct zone, from what I'm told.
01:56:17 <hppavilion[1]> I presume it isn't graphical?
01:56:23 <tswett> Nope.
01:56:48 <tswett> So far, as you might be able to guess, it doesn't have dynamic memory allocation, thread switching, or support for keyboard input.
01:57:00 <hppavilion[1]> True
01:57:09 <hppavilion[1]> I suppose that would come before Graphics
01:57:24 <hppavilion[1]> I guess I meant I assumed you weren't _planning_ on making it graphical

02:03:06 <tswett> Also, wiki.osdev.org contains a lot of useful information.

21:17:25 <MDude> Then I guess you'll have to be at the Higher Level or the Numerical Machine instead.
21:17:33 <hppavilion[1]> I HAVE HAD
21:17:37 <hppavilion[1]> AN IDEA
21:18:01 <MDude> Should I take cover?
21:18:36 <hppavilion[1]> Probablay
21:18:38 <hppavilion[1]> *Probably
21:18:43 <hppavilion[1]> MY IDEA:
21:19:08 <hppavilion[1]> A language centred around gluing greek/latin roots onto functions to change their effect
21:20:25 <hppavilion[1]> ONE STEP FURTHER:
21:20:37 <hppavilion[1]> You don't glue them onto functions, you make functiosn out of them directly
21:21:24 <singingboyo> so... you're going to write an interpreter for latin?
21:21:30 <singingboyo> good luck with that
21:24:47 -!- `^_^v has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds).
21:25:40 <hppavilion[1]> It would be an interperter for simple latin
21:25:44 <hppavilion[1]> Not full latin
21:25:56 <hppavilion[1]> And it would just be functions based around a few greek and latin roots
21:26:02 <hppavilion[1]> Not the whole language
21:26:09 <hppavilion[1]> Though you bring up an excellent point
21:32:19 <hppavilion[1]> I think I'll just go with the first one, where roots form function modifiers
21:33:23 <hppavilion[1]> so difoo(x) == foo(foo(x)) for example
21:37:49 <mauris> i like this idea, except wouldn't it be ambiguous?
21:38:00 <mauris> what if the user defines difoo
21:38:02 <shachaf> `? hth
21:38:04 <HackEgo> hth is help received from a hairy toe. It is not at all hambiguitous.

21:40:43 <mauris> hppavilion[1]: -ify could be casts. like intify, charify
21:45:35 <hppavilion[1]> Yep
21:45:43 <hppavilion[1]> Good idea
21:46:30 <hppavilion[1]> mauris: If the user defines difoo they get a syntax error for trying to define a rooted word
21:46:53 <hppavilion[1]> Either that or it calls the defined difoo due to pattern matching

21:51:05 <boily> hezzo38. can I write a modern program that uses Tektronix specific features?

22:32:29 <shachaf> then what are you doing logreading
22:34:16 <oerjan> well i was logreading, then i switched to another comic tab which i tend to open when logreading for stupid layout detection reasons
22:35:20 <oerjan> (it believes i am on mobile when using my usual zoom setting, which i coincidentally change for the logs.  saves clicks.)

22:44:31 <oerjan> there you go.

23:23:47 <zzo38> Do you know how to make the smallest Sixel representation of a picture? It may help to change the color in the middle of a strip and to allow pixels to overlap each other
23:34:50 <oerjan> <Jafet> Some of them would probably be. For example, a variant where the instructions are replaced with names of retail aprodisiacs. <-- are you entirely sure we don't have one already
23:36:30 <shachaf> I have a book that uses "positive" and "strictly positive" to mean ≥0 and >0 respectively.
23:36:44 <oerjan> hm no one's actually made the Casino Viagra language yet
23:36:48 <shachaf> I think this is probably a better convention, but using it is probably a bad idea.
23:37:08 <oerjan> strictly non-negative hth
23:37:37 <zzo38> I just use "nonnegative" and "positive". But for nonnegative integers they can just be called natural numbers.
23:38:39 <oerjan> that's like refusing to eat meat except for seal cubs
23:39:25 <boily> I think seal cubs are instructional aphrodisiacs.
