00:00:35 <ais523> b_jonas: I was reading a blog about names recently
00:00:42 <b_jonas> Though of course some given names are ever popular
00:01:20 <ais523> apparently something unusual has happened recently, which is that one name has become in the top 10 of popularity in a huge number of different countries, rather than countries keeping to their own traditional names
00:01:25 <b_jonas> ais523: http://www.madore.org/~david/weblog/d.2012-05-30.2050.html#d.2012-05-30.2050 is one
00:02:16 <b_jonas> ais523: which name? is it the name used by someone very famous? like Barack?
00:02:26 <ais523> b_jonas: Sofia, and variations (e.g. Sophie)
00:02:49 <ais523> I think Sofia is the most common worldwide spelling although different countries still have their own local spellings of it
00:03:12 <b_jonas> sure, and many countries have more than one local spelling of any one name
00:03:33 <b_jonas> that happens a lot here, with both family names and given names, though for somewhat different reasons
00:03:50 <fizzie> ais523: "Sofia" was the #1 female child name in Finland for 2014.
00:04:29 <ais523> fizzie: right, that's true of a lot of other countries too
00:04:31 <b_jonas> family names mostly come in versions spelled phonetically like Kis, and versions spelled in a deliberately strange way, like Kiss, the latter often orinally used to try to fool people that you're a nobleman
00:04:32 <fizzie> I doubt it's in the top 10 overall yet, though.
00:05:02 <b_jonas> so a lot of family names have two variants like that, sometimes three or more
00:05:19 <ais523> b_jonas: have people moved to Kisss yet?
00:05:37 <b_jonas> ais523: no, I don't think so. the strange spellings are all old, I don't think new ones are born much.
00:05:48 <b_jonas> not those kinds of strange spellings at least.
00:06:22 <hppavilion[1]> If I legally change my name, I'll be named kisssssssssssssss
00:06:36 <hppavilion[1]> (No capital)
00:06:53 <fizzie> For currently living female Finns, Sofia as ranks #16.
00:07:11 <ais523> fizzie: right, this only happened in the past few years
00:07:24 <b_jonas> As for given names, there's multiple variants either because there's more than one borrowings from foreign languages of ultimately the same etymology, or because people start to give names that were originally nicknames of a name as a normal name.
00:08:23 <b_jonas> The most common example for the latter are Gergő and Bence.
00:08:41 <b_jonas> I'm not sure about the former.

01:39:34 <pikhq> I think "ebf" by I don't know who is one of the more impressive "extended brainfuck" or "brainfuck macro" things I've seen.
01:39:57 <pikhq> ... Just because its only implementation is an ebf to Brainfuck commpiler.
01:40:10 <pikhq> Erm, sorry.
01:40:19 <pikhq> ebf to Brainfuck self-hosting compiler.
01:40:23 <ais523> what's the impl written in?
01:40:27 <ais523> right, was going to say
01:40:32 <ais523> next problem is, who's going to bootstrap that thing?
01:40:36 <pikhq> I mean okay, it's otherwise not *that* impressive, but props on making it self-host.
01:40:43 <ais523> awib self-hosts
01:40:52 <pikhq> The author did. The initial implementation was hand-compiled.
01:41:16 <pikhq> Yeah, but awib is not compiling a more complicated language. :)
01:42:41 <pikhq> Oh. And also, this wasn't the guy's goal, just a step on the way to his real goal of implementing Lisp.
01:43:03 <ais523> oh, I'd go via underlambda if I wanted a lisp in BF
01:43:04 <pikhq> So, that's nice.
01:45:23 <ais523> also, IIRC Chaitin wrote a lisp interpreter as a Diophantine equation
01:45:24 <pikhq> Basically what I'm saying is I really prefer it when people strap stuff onto Brainfuck to make it "more" and actually put some effort into it.
01:45:38 <ais523> and it's only like one page of coefficients
01:45:51 <ais523> pikhq: you can flip that around to "BF derivatives are most interesting when there's effort put into them"
01:45:58 <ais523> or at least a good idea
01:46:03 <pikhq> True.
01:46:09 <ais523> I think when http://esolangs.org/wiki/PaintFuck was posted, #esoteric was approving of the idea
01:46:11 <pikhq> There are way too many boring ones.
01:46:19 <ais523> err, hmm, dead link
01:46:28 <ais523> maybe I misremembered the caps
01:46:33 <ais523> yep: http://esolangs.org/wiki/Paintfuck
01:46:58 <pikhq> Maybe not the best but at least novel.
01:47:27 <ais523> yes, we liked the novelty of the idea
01:47:31 <pikhq> Rather than, say, Ook. :(
01:47:49 <ais523> that was novel at the time
01:48:01 <ais523> it was probably the first BF substitution
01:48:09 <pikhq> Oh, it was the first? Or at least super early?
01:48:15 <ais523> first language substitution full stop, in fact, IIRC
01:48:17 <ais523> and yes, super early
01:48:24 <pikhq> Okay, that's a lot less terrible then.
01:48:28 <ais523> people liked it, but the third and fourth time and so on it doesn't work nearly as well
01:48:34 <pikhq> Yep.
01:48:44 <pikhq> It's a joke that works about once.
01:48:45 <ais523> "It represents the first, although unfortunately not the last, in a long line of trivial Brainfuck command substitutions."
01:48:59 <ais523> meanwhile, HQ9+ is apparently a joke that only works three times
01:49:15 <ais523> (HQ9++ and the oerjan variant with a bunch more commands)

09:06:59 <hppavilion[1]> Basically, the OS has a central repository of user-defined classes, along with a single list of objects. You start with nothing and work up from there, using λ-calculus and CL and whatever other shit I throw into it to fully personalize your OS experience
09:07:00 <zzo38> Well, you can try, and then we can see, I suppose.
09:42:26 <b_jonas> “fully personalize your OS experience” hehehe
09:44:14 <b_jonas> hppavilion[1]: that sounds a little bit like Smalltalk, as in the way the system was originally built to contain the library and development UI and your code in all the same mutable workspace, defined from a few hundred primitive functions and syntax. (this was, I think, a bad idea, but it made more sense back at that day, and some APL thingies worked somewhat similarly.)

14:49:31 <izabera> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDN_homograph_attack "For example, a person frequenting citibank.com may be lured to click a link in which the Latin C is replaced with the Cyrillic С."
14:49:33 <izabera> is that spam?
14:52:03 <lifthrasiir> izabera: not only spam, e.g. a tweet with that link may survive without being detected
14:52:31 <izabera> no i mean
14:52:39 <izabera> the example itself on wikipedia
14:53:41 <lifthrasiir> eh, I don't understand what do you mean
14:54:03 <izabera> citibank spam on wikipedia
14:54:13 <lifthrasiir> aha.
14:54:45 <Phantom_Hoover> izabera, seems reasonable, this isn't the bbc we're talking about
14:54:57 <lifthrasiir> hmm, WikiBlame does not work :(
14:55:26 <izabera> btw your font totally fails to avoid homograph attacks in the korean characters
14:55:36 <izabera> altho my eyes are not trained to read korean
14:56:10 <lifthrasiir> izabera: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=IDN_homograph_attack&diff=383860153&oldid=383859096 is the initial introduction
14:56:20 <izabera> and i'm assuming it's korean
14:56:26 <lifthrasiir> not sure why citibank is used in the example but does not look that significant
14:56:41 <lifthrasiir> izabera: there are some hard cases, I know
14:56:50 <lifthrasiir> needs more copies of jamos
14:58:18 <izabera> i don't read braille either but i think the font should only display the black dots
14:58:30 <izabera> the bigger ones i mean
14:58:39 <izabera> displaying both is confusing
15:00:20 <izabera> enough with the criticism
15:01:30 <lifthrasiir> izabera: people seems to like brailles, that is the second time I've heard of criticism on braille
15:02:00 <lifthrasiir> I'm thinking of providing an option to give alternative glyphs for them
15:03:09 <b_jonas> Of course I like brailles! It's a well-designed system that managed to get more popular than all its competitors, so basically it's a story with a happy end. And
15:03:40 <lifthrasiir> of course, Unicode ruined braille by merging two variants of 8-dot brailles
15:04:02 <b_jonas> it's stood the test of time: braille is still popular now that we write it with thousand dollar braille terminals connected to the internet rather than a grid and stylus, and it still works.
15:04:28 <b_jonas> lifthrasiir: I don't think it _merged_ them. I think it just failed to account for the less common variant, so far, because it's not much popular.
15:04:45 <lifthrasiir> b_jonas: Korean braille is almost based on 1930s' Korean orthography
15:04:55 <lifthrasiir> (now obsolete)
15:05:23 <b_jonas> lifthrasiir: er what?
15:05:31 <b_jonas> I don't know enough about the back story here to understand this.
15:05:51 <lifthrasiir> b_jonas: a reply to "it's stood the test of time", I meant
15:06:18 <b_jonas> Isn't Korean braille a 6-dot system where generally each letter is written separately so that each syllable is made of two or three cells, except that there's a lot of abbreviations so it's generally shorter than that?
15:06:21 <lifthrasiir> it is so successful that it changes slowly than its normal variant
15:06:27 <lifthrasiir> more slowly*
15:06:51 <lifthrasiir> b_jonas: basically yes, but has lots of abbreviations like English braille
15:07:02 <lifthrasiir> one aspect of 1930s
15:07:14 -!- dcentral has joined.
15:08:01 <lifthrasiir> 1930s' orthography is that ㄲ ㄸ ㅃ etc. are written as ㅅㄱ, ㅅㄷ, ㅅㅂ etc. at that time and the braille forms for them exactly reflect that
15:08:08 <lifthrasiir> (ㄲ = ㅅ + ㄱ, etc.)

18:49:04 <oerjan> Taneb: yay!
18:49:42 <b_jonas> oerjan: ah right! he's the FATHER of Széchenyi István. That actually makes _much_ more sense historically.
18:50:01 <b_jonas> As in, he was active _before_ the dualism.
18:50:07 <b_jonas> Sorry, I'm not good in history.
18:51:17 <b_jonas> I should have known this, it's not like the Károlyi family, which has like a dozen famous people in it, including minister presidents, and statues with just "Károlyi" written on them; plus a dozen other famous people named Károlyi who aren't related to them.
18:52:42 <oerjan> now i wonder why the son dropped a ´
18:53:38 <oerjan> the pronunciation guide at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istv%C3%A1n_Sz%C3%A9chenyi seems to think it's still pronounced long
18:54:20 <b_jonas> oerjan: at that time people didn't have passports with a name printed in them, so the spelling of names of noblemen was more flexible.
18:54:35 <b_jonas> and yes, both are pronounced Szécsényi
18:54:55 <b_jonas> at least most likely pronounced that
18:55:06 <b_jonas> some people probably pronounced it in different ways
18:57:16 <fizzie> There's an Iain M. Banks novel where your social class determines how many names you have -- nobles have one, two seems relatively common, and having four names seems to be considered an indicator of low social status.

19:57:34 <oerjan> yeah i remember that
19:57:41 <b_jonas> I think buubot has a rather long output limit internally, as in, the output between commands in a compose line, or the def of a factoid/macro (which is what mutable state is based on) can be much longer than an irc line (probably at least 64 kilobytes or something)
19:57:51 <shachaf> I think ion did it.
19:57:51 <b_jonas> even if it won't output long lines to _IRC_
19:58:01 <b_jonas> it had a web interface though, with both longer input and output lines than irc
19:58:08 <oerjan> shachaf: pretty sure i've done similar
19:58:13 <b_jonas> but technically you don't need that much, since with mutable state you can just use multiple lines

21:16:37 <hppavilion[1]> Math needs something called a coconjugate
21:16:49 <hppavilion[1]> Also, a complex operation called (for now) "swapation"
21:17:19 <oerjan> itym njugate hth
21:17:23 <hppavilion[1]> If $ is swapation (prefix, lower precedence than +), then $a+bi = b+ai
21:18:04 <hppavilion[1]> The only obvious properties I can think of of $ are:
21:18:33 <oerjan> $z = i*conj(z) hth
21:18:53 <hppavilion[1]> A) c+di = $a+bi -> sqrt(a**2+b**2) = sqrt(c**2+d**2)
21:19:25 <hppavilion[1]> (More simply, the swapation of a complex number has the same absolute value, which is of course different from modulus because calling abs(z) the "modulus" of z is stupid)
21:20:08 <hppavilion[1]> B) $$z=z ($ is its own negation, similar to conjugate)
21:20:11 <oerjan> $z = i*conj(z) hth
21:20:22 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: Yes, of course
21:20:37 <hppavilion[1]> I saw the first time and was formulating a response
21:21:20 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: Do you think there's any practical use for $?
21:21:40 <oerjan> well it's not analytic
21:22:01 <oerjan> and it's not a field isomorphism
21:23:18 <oerjan> so it combines the flaws of i* and conj(). also in math conj() is usually just a macron, so the notation isn't really shorter either
21:23:30 <hppavilion[1]> There's also $ for generalized polynomials, called "rotation", with the property that $(a[0]x**n+a[1]x**(n-1)+...a[n]x**(n-n=0) is equal to... something
21:23:51 <hppavilion[1]> I guess that you rotate the a's by one, but not the exponents, or vice versa
21:24:06 <hppavilion[1]> Then of course ~$, revrot, which does the same thing in reverse
21:24:45 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: Yes, but is there any time one would ever want to swapate a binomial (complex or not)?
21:25:20 <hppavilion[1]> I mean, is there any use for i*conj(z) that comes up even remotely often?
21:25:50 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: Also, what do you think of fuzzy sets where the fuzziness of an element is generalized to the complexes?
21:26:37 <oerjan> i doubt it comes up often enough to justify a new notation.
21:27:19 <oerjan> especially since if you are doing that kind of manipulation, it's probably better to keep everything in terms of z and conj(z) for uniformity
21:27:36 <oerjan> (as long as you want to use complex notation)
21:28:03 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: OK, but if I ever write a paper that makes heavy use of i*(z*) I'm using $.
21:28:33 <oerjan> OKAY
21:29:42 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: Why do you do "OKAY" in fullcaps? It makes you look angry.
21:29:49 <oerjan> as for your polynomial version, one problem i see is that it depends on whether a coefficient is 0 or not.
21:30:10 <oerjan> i.e. if a[0] = 0, you suddenly have degree one less.
21:30:11 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: You fill in 0 coefficients, but only up to the degree of the polynomial
21:30:25 <oerjan> yes, and that makes it nonlinear.
21:30:30 <hppavilion[1]> Dammit
21:30:37 <hppavilion[1]> Wait, what does that mean?
21:31:18 <oerjan> it means that if you rotate x^n and x^n + 1, then the difference is not the rotation of 1.
21:31:32 <oerjan> which is sort of an ugly property.
21:32:10 <oerjan> oh even worse, the rotation is not invertible
21:32:28 <oerjan> x^n -> 1, no matter what n is
21:33:21 <oerjan> (well either that or revrot, not sure which one is which direction)
21:34:06 <oerjan> to sum up, i think you need to include n in the notation for it to be sane.
21:34:41 <oerjan> time to put on pizza...
21:36:04 <oerjan> hppavilion[1]: also OKAY in full caps means i'm being incredulous hth
21:36:14 <hppavilion[1]> Ah
21:39:12 <oerjan> if you include n in the notation, then you can also apply it to polynomials of even larger degree, it will just ignore those coefficients.
21:39:52 <oerjan> complex fuzziness: no idea how useful it is, but i could say almost the same thing about ordinary fuzzy sets.

23:08:06 <hppavilion[1]> I thought this was established xD.
23:08:37 <shachaf> But the HP Pavilion is in San Jose.
23:08:42 <shachaf> Was in San Jose, I guess.
23:09:06 <b_jonas> right, Alaska and 10 hours matches
23:24:42 -!- boily has joined.
23:25:19 -!- TieSoul has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
23:35:56 -!- mihow has quit (Quit: mihow).
23:42:35 <boily> IEUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
23:43:58 <boily> how's the future? 2016? has the world ended in nucular conflagrations or other apocalyptic robotic seismic ubpringings?
23:46:00 <b_jonas> boily: yes
23:46:23 <oerjan> obviously
23:46:42 <oerjan> well, not robotic. they involve kittens hth
23:47:11 <boily> oh, so about five hours remaining until kittensplosion.
23:47:35 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds).
23:48:01 <oerjan> also i'm not sure about seismic. it's hard to measure with all the kittens in the way.
23:48:53 <boily> sample kittens, measure amplitude, scale up.
23:49:41 <boily> . o O ( huh. somebody built a huge maya pyramid somewhere very random on our server. who, why, when, and are they mapolable for their architecturactions. )
23:51:05 <hppavilion[1]> boily: Everyone is mapolable. Not being mapolable is punishable by mapoling, LTIC
23:51:20 <HackEgo> [wiki] [[2015]] N http://esolangs.org/w/index.php?oldid=46056 * 50.161.94.113 * (+173) We need another [[2014]]!
23:51:28 <oerjan> well, sometimes you may need to soak your mapole in holy water first.
23:51:42 <oerjan> e.g. for ghosts.
23:51:46 <hppavilion[1]> Ugh
23:51:54 <hppavilion[1]> Really, 50.161.94.113?
23:52:51 <HackEgo> [wiki] [[Talk:2015]] N http://esolangs.org/w/index.php?oldid=46057 * Hppavilion1 * (+115) No.
23:53:12 <hppavilion[1]> My comment on the page was almost as long as the page itself.
23:53:13 <oerjan> this is what happens when you don't make an article in time hth
23:53:33 <b_jonas> 7 minutes
23:53:39 <b_jonas> quick, someone invent a 2015 language
23:53:41 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: Perhaps we should salvage the page and make one that references all the stuff that happened in 2015
23:53:48 <hppavilion[1]> b_jonas: Someone just did
23:54:08 <b_jonas> oh good
23:54:10 <b_jonas> `2015 hi
23:54:14 <HackEgo> No output.
23:54:18 <b_jonas> what
23:54:19 <oerjan> hppavilion[1]: btw `2015 exists, and has done so for almost a year hth
23:54:24 <b_jonas> ``` cat bin/2015
23:54:25 <HackEgo> ​#!/bin/sh \ if [ $(date +%Y) != "$(basename "$0")" ] \ then echo "Hello, world!" \ fi
23:54:36 <oerjan> b_jonas: try again in 6 minutes hth
23:54:46 <b_jonas> oh
23:54:50 <hppavilion[1]> You know, a sort of historical language. It would talk about the Refugee crisis in the form of programming, et cetera.
23:54:51 <b_jonas> it has != in it
23:55:02 <hppavilion[1]> Something even remotely better than 2014
23:55:04 <hppavilion[1]> Language-wise
23:55:07 <b_jonas> (newlines instead of semicolons. crazy.)
23:55:25 <oerjan> hppavilion[1]: we already invented 2015, a year ago. hth.
23:55:35 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: Then we'll invent 2015++
23:55:39 <hppavilion[1]> That sounds like a good idea
23:55:44 <hppavilion[1]> Adding ++ fixes everything
23:55:59 <hppavilion[1]> (So 2016, basically)
23:57:18 <hppavilion[1]> I love how "it [2014] has probably faded into uselessness"
23:57:22 <hppavilion[1]> By the time we're reading it
23:57:31 <hppavilion[1]> Because, you know, it was always particularly useful
23:58:11 <hppavilion[1]> `cat bin/1492
23:58:12 <HackEgo> cat: bin/1492: No such file or directory
23:58:12 <boily> everything is terrible.
23:58:15 <hppavilion[1]> `` echo "#!/bin/sh \ if [ $(date +%Y) != "$(basename "$0")" ] \ then echo \"Hello, world!\" \ fi" > bin/1492
23:58:18 <HackEgo> No output.
23:58:23 <hppavilion[1]> `1492
23:58:24 <HackEgo> ​/home/hackbot/hackbot.hg/multibot_cmds/lib/limits: line 5: /hackenv/bin/1492: Permission denied \ /home/hackbot/hackbot.hg/multibot_cmds/lib/limits: line 5: exec: /hackenv/bin/1492: cannot execute: Permission denied
23:58:41 <hppavilion[1]> Well I did something wrong.
23:59:31 <oerjan> "chmod" hth
23:59:52 <oerjan> also, newlines
23:59:57 <oerjan> those are not actual \s
