00:39:31 <shachaf> didn't oerjan just say he didn't want it
00:39:45 <oerjan> indeed
00:39:59 <moon_> 'not particularly' is not synonym to 'didnt want', its like 'maybe'
00:40:27 <oerjan> no, it's diplomatic for "didn't want" hth
00:40:39 <moon_> eh, didnt take that into account
00:41:24 * oerjan is reminded of an anecdote about norwegian-korean culture collision

00:42:48 <moon_> lol i broke the words
00:43:01 <oerjan> her actual response was "maybe i'll try", which the norwegian interpreted as that she might come.
00:43:42 <oerjan> shachaf: i'm not focused enough hth
00:43:55 <shachaf> oerjan: proof that you're norwegian hth
00:44:00 <moon_> lol
00:44:36 <moon_> .
00:46:55 <oerjan> prooftechnique: apparently the question of whether to say no to food, when, and whether to accept such a no, is somewhat of a cultural collision even inside norway. although not anywhere i recall being.
00:47:42 <oerjan> in some communities you're supposed to say no several times before accepting.
00:48:20 <oerjan> (and of course this is an international mess)
00:48:59 <oerjan> which leads to the case where you might want more food, be polite in your way, and the host might interpret it as a final no.
00:49:53 <prooftechnique> oerjan: I have that problem in Sweden, as well. I don't want to imply that I didn't like the food, but I don't want to be a glutton
00:50:35 * oerjan has been known to take the last piece of cake hth hth
00:50:46 <prooftechnique> Though I have that problem everywhere. Except at home, I guess. Only God can judge the amount of pork I eat at home
00:51:09 <moon_> i want to make a interpreter for N--, how should i handle the variable system? http://esolangs.org/wiki/N--
00:51:10 <prooftechnique> The last piece of cake? You're a real monster, and no mistake

00:54:15 <prooftechnique> \oren\: That's quite a good rate

00:55:08 <\oren\> Well, a capsule hotel is a hotel that is very... minimal

01:53:45 <hppavilion[1]> moon_: Also, there are code excerpts that aren't in monospace, and that drives me crazy
01:53:49 <prooftechnique> Where closer is either due to proximity or some intangible quality

02:02:56 <hppavilion[1]> Monty Hall Trolley Problem.
02:02:58 <hppavilion[1]> Huh.
02:04:23 <ais523> hppavilion[1]: I assume that there's an out-of-control trolleycar which you can direct onto one of three tracks by changing points
02:04:38 <ais523> and you know that two of the tracks are blocked by people
02:04:39 <hppavilion[1]> ais523: Yes
02:04:47 <hppavilion[1]> ais523: Correct
02:04:55 <ais523> after you move the points, someone who can see the tracks tells you that one of the tracks you didn't pick has a person on it
02:05:03 <hppavilion[1]> ais523: Or, more accurately, there are more people on one track than on the other two
02:05:03 <ais523> do you change the points to the other unknown track?
02:05:13 <hppavilion[1]> ais523: Pretty much exactly
02:05:16 <ais523> no, has to be more on two than the other one
02:05:33 <hppavilion[1]> ais523: Ah, that works too
02:05:35 <ais523> monty hall problem requires one desirable outcome and two undesirable outcomes to work
02:05:42 <ais523> if you have two desirable and one undesirable
02:06:00 <ais523> then either the host tells you about the undesirable outcome and it doesn't matter whether you switch, it's desirable either way
02:06:00 <hppavilion[1]> ais523: Wait, hm...
02:06:03 <zzo38> Do any of the tracks have something that can stop the train?
02:06:06 <ais523> or the host tells you about a desirable outcome, in which case you just take it
02:06:19 <ais523> zzo38: in this problem, people normally assume no
02:06:24 <ais523> although that's unrealistic
02:06:37 <hppavilion[1]> "OK, you chose door C. Now we're going to open door A, which has a goat. Would you like to switch doors?"
02:06:41 <hppavilion[1]> "Yes, I'll take door A"
02:06:44 <ais523> as the problem involves a set of points, and you have a decent chance of being able to stop a train by changing the points setting while the train is over the points
02:07:30 <ais523> I guess the points could have a safety feature that prevents them being changed when a train is nearby
02:07:44 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Quit: Leaving).
02:08:04 <moon_> that problem gae me anothe esolang idea, one powered by trains and points
02:08:12 <ais523> this actually happened in the london underground runaway that's possibly the closest real life has come to the trolley problem (as a bonus, nobody was hurt, although nobody had enough information to know that that would be the outcome)
02:08:22 <hppavilion[1]> moon_: Actually, I have the patent rights to that esolang idea.
02:08:30 <prooftechnique> You're all ignoring the obvious. Take a plane instead and you won't have to deal with this conundrum
02:08:34 <moon_> oh
02:08:37 <moon_> ):
02:09:12 <hppavilion[1]> prooftechnique: But how do we kill people and make it look like an accident or the-best-of-a-bad-situation when it's a plane?
02:09:23 <prooftechnique> "Water landing"
02:09:52 <hppavilion[1]> Hm... The trolley problem becomes a lot more complicated when you know the person you can switch to AND you have reason to hate them- say, your spouse had an affair with them
02:10:06 <hppavilion[1]> Because then it seems like you could conceivably charge it as murder
02:10:23 <prooftechnique> Even more complicated if you care more about their happiness than about their fidelity
02:12:03 <hppavilion[1]> Hm...
02:12:07 <hppavilion[1]> You know what'd be great?

02:12:42 <hppavilion[1]> (even messages mentioning that person get substituted for your nick)
02:12:50 <ais523> the basic summary is that a an engineering train ran away on the london underground

05:10:07 <Sgeo_> Hmm. Apparently I voted differently from at least one member of #esoteric
05:11:30 <zzo38> Voted differently on what?
05:11:47 <Sgeo_> Who to vote for in the US primaries
05:13:55 <zzo38> OK
05:14:54 <pikhq> How do you know that?
05:15:12 <Sgeo_> pikhq, because I saw your status + comments on that status
05:15:17 <pikhq> Oh, right. That. :P
05:15:56 * pikhq definitely voted for Sanders, though honestly at this point it's more about messaging-in-polls than anything else.
05:16:12 <pikhq> Odds of Clinton being nominated are like 99.9% or something.
05:16:27 * Sgeo_ voted for Clinton, largely concerned about competence and electability.
05:16:44 <Sgeo_> I think I've pushed myself in too much of an anti-Bernie bubble
05:17:39 <pikhq> I'm also voting pretty much right at the end of the primary season which means that I know, and vote based on that.
05:18:38 <pikhq> And, honestly, as far as I can tell Bernie is fairly competent and would do reasonably as President.
05:18:46 <pikhq> Now, *electable*, that's a different question entirely.
05:19:13 <pikhq> But not one I need to think about when my vote is effectively just saying "I support more liberal policies from Democratic party".
05:21:53 <Sgeo_> I will say that I think everyone in both campaigns is disappointed at the thought of lowered turnout
05:24:55 <pikhq> Yeah... I do not like the idea of Trump winning because of lower turnout from Dems.
05:25:09 <pikhq> Especially with potentially 3 different SCOTUS justices up for nomination.
05:26:00 * Sgeo_ meant more acutely lower primary turnout tomorrow because of the nomination being called for Clinton
05:26:08 <pikhq> Ah. Right.
05:35:24 <pikhq> In CA it's kinda important even ignoring the President though; a Senate office is up for election, and the incumbent isn't running.

06:20:28 <zzo38> I have made up the classifications of possible external ante rules for Magic: the Gathering, which are: scoreless-per-duel, scored-per-duel, scoreless-per-match, scored-per-match, scoreless-per-tournament, scored-per-tournament, prize-altering, permanent. (These are just broad classifications, and many formats are possible in each one.)
06:21:14 <zzo38> Do you like this?
06:23:47 <shachaf> Do you score less per duel than ever before?
06:24:56 <zzo38> No.
06:25:56 <zzo38> "Scoreless-per-duel ante" means that all ownership changes end at the end of a duel, and do not further affect the tournament in any way (the only thing that affects it is who won that duel).
06:27:01 <shachaf> Oh, ante rules.
06:27:06 <shachaf> I didn't see that word.
06:27:12 <shachaf> Isn't ante banned?
06:27:41 <zzo38> shachaf: Yes, in all official tournaments, it is not played for ante, and all ante cards are banned.
06:27:58 <shachaf> You're suggesting an illegal tournament?
06:28:00 <zzo38> Permanent ante is not suitable if using borrowed cards or custom cards; the others are suitable even in these cases though.
06:28:24 <zzo38> shachaf: Actually, it does not even necessarily have to be a tournament.
06:28:24 <shachaf> It should be called "permanante".

07:45:56 <oerjan> "polynomial function" being a function computable in polynomial time.

07:46:52 <hppavilion[1]> Oh, it corrected from (R). Cool.

07:47:13 <hppavilion[1]> Is there any substance less dense than pure Hydrogen 1?
07:47:17 <oerjan> and also NP-complete.
07:48:14 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: I thought that was a polynymic function
07:48:16 <oerjan> hppavilion[1]: hm i recall there was some foam lighter than air. not sure about hydrogen.
07:48:42 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: I know there's aerofoam (or something), but I don't think it's lighter than air; it's just really really light
07:48:45 <oerjan> i think that should be polyonymic. but i'm not sure, it looks ugly.
07:48:51 <shachaf> An anonomyial function is like a polynomial function, but you don't know its degree.
07:49:04 <hppavilion[1]> It can't really be lighter than air because it's 99.97% air

07:50:02 * hppavilion[1] . o O ( What an incredibly boring conversation )
07:50:04 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: Yes, that
07:50:12 <shachaf> I was pretty excited about aerogel a little over a decade ago.
07:50:24 <shachaf> And then I was surprised to find out that a company in the small (~10,000 people) town I lived in made it.
07:50:39 <shachaf> I called them and asked if I could get a sample but they said no.
07:50:54 <pikhq> Awww.
07:51:24 <pikhq> If aerogel were lighter than air it'd *float*.
07:51:38 <shachaf> Maybe if I'd told them I was [redacted] years old they would've taken pity on me.
07:51:39 <b_jonas> I seem to remember they actually made versions lighter than air
07:51:43 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: Why'd they say no?
07:51:55 <shachaf> Now I can't say the number because it would reveal my age.
07:52:03 <hppavilion[1]> Yes, yes
07:52:06 <shachaf> Presumably because I wasn't offering any money.
07:52:09 <pikhq> b_jonas: Not impossible, but that'd imply they did something like manufacture it in a helium atmosphere.
07:52:17 <pikhq> And it'd float.
07:52:34 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: Ah, that'd be a problem
07:52:48 <shachaf> I think the smallest sample you could buy was $100 or something.
07:53:00 <myname> i like the PAD-SAT problem
07:53:10 <b_jonas> pikhq: why would they have to manufacture it in a helium atmosphere? that'd be expensive. they'd just manufacture it in rarified air (near vacuum, it doesn't have to be really rare) or rarified nitrogen
07:53:37 <pikhq> I said "something like".
07:53:40 <pikhq> Those would work too.
07:54:11 <hppavilion[1]> Today's xkcd title text is amazing
07:54:44 <pikhq> "List of lists of sexually active popes" anyone?
07:55:02 <b_jonas> hmm, apparently they do manufacture it in a helium atmosphere, so it gets filled with helium for pressure
07:55:16 <b_jonas> that would get expensive
07:55:29 <shachaf> pikhq: Are you still pooching it up?
07:55:52 <pikhq> More or less, yup.
07:56:37 <hppavilion[1]> "People handling aerogel for extended periods should wear gloves to prevent the appearance of dry brittle spots on their skin."

07:57:37 <shachaf> I think it's in Texas.
07:57:40 <shachaf> Or maybe Nevada.
07:58:04 <hppavilion[1]> Oh my god, there's something lighter than aerogel
07:58:10 <hppavilion[1]> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerographene
07:58:39 <hppavilion[1]> Awww, it needs carbon nanotubes
07:58:49 <hppavilion[1]> So I probably can't buy some in my conceivable lifetime
08:00:48 <shachaf> I didn't realize that one of aerogel's applications involved menstruation.
08:01:06 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: Why would you want that? Seems like a pretty bad application
08:01:21 <hppavilion[1]> Oh, wait, for dealing with it?
08:01:24 <hppavilion[1]> That makes more sense
08:01:30 <shachaf> Also how long is an extended period?
08:02:14 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: Isn't that called an "ellipsis"?
08:03:14 <shachaf> In Xanth, an ellipsis is used to summon the stork.

08:11:02 <hppavilion[1]> "When a mommy and a daddy love each other very much and want to have a baby, they have sex. They keep having sex, right in front of the stork, until he gives in and puts in a request for a baby delivery to make them stop. Then, 9 months later due to bureaucratic procedures, a baby is delivered"
08:11:30 <myname> sounds legit
08:12:31 <shachaf> The best I can think of is that a pregnancy lasts about 9 months, but it must be something else.
08:12:50 <shachaf> I mean a human pregnancy.
08:13:18 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: I think that that was the joke
08:13:37 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: And a period is slightly less than monthly, so about 10 periods are "lost" when a baby is gestating

08:27:37 <mroman> 10% pixels is way too much :D
08:29:31 <zzo38> When I use xdpyinfo it says there is 96 visuals, and then lists them, all details seem same for each one except some are TrueColor and some are DirectColor, and one of them has 32 planes while the rest have 24. Do you know what is the purpose of the many visuals?
08:30:15 <shachaf> 96 isn't a very big number compared to, say, 65536.
08:31:45 <int-e> glxinfo may give a clue
08:32:33 <int-e> (though not a complete answer)
08:32:40 * int-e doesn't know the complete answer
08:34:07 <deltab> zzo38: but there are all different somehow?

08:35:49 <zzo38> deltab: I don't know!
08:37:32 <deltab> my guess is it's just the cartesian product of settings that can now vary independently but couldn't when the api was designed
08:37:42 <shachaf> zzo38: Do you know about antifunctions?
08:40:21 <zzo38> No
08:41:13 <shachaf> An antifunction maps an antiset to an antiset.
08:41:24 <shachaf> An antiset might be a set of memory locations, for instance.
08:42:00 <shachaf> Or labels or something.
08:42:08 <shachaf> So an antifunction : A -> B gives meaning to a set of memory locations B in terms of a set of memory locations A.
08:42:13 <shachaf> It can delete and duplicate elements of A.
08:46:59 <oerjan> int-e: nice link
08:52:00 <hppavilion[1]> Hm, what are the properties of fnord?
08:52:22 <hppavilion[1]> Like, if I say "it is pronounced the same way as phnord", can you still see "phnord"
08:52:32 <hppavilion[1]> Hell, if I put it in a sentence, will the word just be missing?
08:53:45 <hppavilion[1]> And what if I make a list of every word up to a certain length? Will there just be a blank space where "fnord" should be? Will I be able to see it so I can't tell which one I can't see otherwise? Will it get deleted and all the others moved up?
08:53:59 <hppavilion[1]> If the others moved up, couldn't I just infer from which was missing what the word is?
08:58:59 <shachaf> Maybe you should read The Illuminatus! Trilogy.
09:01:34 <hppavilion[1]> ...I just realized that you can put a bucket of lava into a wooden chest in minecraft

20:18:32 <asie> hi
20:19:48 <b_jonas> ais523: I found out something about M:tG today and it sort of shocked me. you might already be aware of it
20:20:04 <b_jonas> ais523: there are German printings of two cards whose German names are identical, despite that their English names differ, and also this German name is identical to the English name of one of those cards.
20:20:28 <b_jonas> ais523: http://magiccards.info/10e/de/290.html http://magiccards.info/m10/de/202.html
20:20:32 <ais523> I knew that
20:21:24 <b_jonas> ais523: how common is it? and why are they doing it? is it just a stupid mistake?
20:21:46 <shachaf> How do you tell which card a translated card is?
20:21:47 <ais523> b_jonas: very rare but not unheard of (there are a few similar examples), and mostly it's just by mistake
20:22:01 <shachaf> Does the English name appear somewhere on it?
20:22:15 <int-e> regenerate... regeneration... poor translators!
20:22:16 <ais523> shachaf: that's actually a really interesting point
20:22:29 <ais523> expansion symbol + collector number would be the obvious way to me
20:22:35 <ais523> but I'm not sure it's applicable in 100% of cases
20:22:50 <ais523> art would be another way, and the way that most players use in practice, but that wouldn't work for promo cards
20:23:14 <shachaf> When would it not be applicable?
20:23:48 <shachaf> If I remember correctly, officially the name is the only part of a card that really matters?
20:24:02 <shachaf> People can paint over the rest of it if they want. Or something like that.
20:24:24 <ais523> shachaf: the English name is the only part that officially matters
20:24:52 <ais523> and when altering a card, I believe the rule is that you have to leave the name and mana cost visible, and the art has to depict what the card is about
20:25:18 <ais523> (this is why basic lands are the most commonly altered cards; if you alter a Forest, you just have to draw a forest, and there are a huge number of ways to do that)
20:25:19 <shachaf> But the official art rarely depicts what a card is about.
20:25:45 <ais523> yes, this is why altering is difficult
20:25:48 -!- xkapastel has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity).
20:25:53 <ais523> for cards that depict a story character it isn't too hard
20:26:27 <shachaf> Anyway, if you have cards with identical non-English names, it seems like it would be problematic to alter them.
20:28:15 <b_jonas> ais523: old cards don't have collector numbers, but old cards also don't have translated versions, and I'm not sure how these compare in time
20:28:41 <ais523> very old cards don't have expansion symbols
20:29:02 <shachaf> Hmm, there's a promotional card printed in Hebrew.
20:29:41 <b_jonas> ais523: why it looks strange to me is that Regenerate is from M10, so I'd have thought at that point they were paying attention to these sorts of things

20:30:05 <ais523> b_jonas: I get the impression that Wizards is severely understaffed
20:30:57 <shachaf> http://magiccards.info/query?q=staff
20:31:01 <shachaf> Only 18 results.
20:31:19 <shachaf> And "Staff of the X Magus" were all terrible.
20:32:18 <shachaf> I don't even understand those cards.
20:32:21 <shachaf> "Wizards.com is down for routine server maintenance."
20:32:23 <ais523> shachaf: those are apparently intentionally bad cards made to appeal to new players
20:32:33 <ais523> they write articles about them on occasion
20:32:46 <shachaf> I think I put one in my early decks.
20:32:51 <b_jonas> shachaf: a promo card in hebrew? wow
20:32:55 <b_jonas> I never heard of that
20:32:59 <ais523> there was a previous cycle with that purpose, "whenever a player casts a red spell you gain 1 life" etc.
20:33:16 <ais523> but it turned out to be fringe playable in very centralized metagames
20:33:24 <ais523> if you were playing red and your opponent was playing a red-based burn deck
20:33:25 <b_jonas> ais523: sure, Kraken's Eye cycle. I have thos
20:33:37 <shachaf> b_jonas: http://www.snazzorama.com/magic/lang/
20:34:26 <b_jonas> shachaf: I think I'm the only player in my group who sometimes plays with foreign language cards, and even I have very few of them
20:34:44 <b_jonas> only about a dozen, and some of them I have already replaced by English ones
20:34:50 <b_jonas> I prefer English cards
20:34:51 <zzo38> Use it if you have a lot of red cards, especially if you are not playing any white cards too
20:34:58 <ais523> in other news, I visited a site with JavaScript turned off
20:35:14 <ais523> and the only thing visible was a link to http://www.whatbrowser.org/ , which I found hilariously passive-agressive
20:35:18 <ais523> *aggressive
20:35:45 <ais523> (turns out there was other text in the page, saying something like "you need a browser that supports JavaScript to view this page", but it was accidentally black on black, presumably they don't test the page with JS off very often)
20:36:05 <ais523> the irony here is that whatbrowser doesn't really work with JavaScript turned off either
20:36:11 <ais523> and thus is a very bad link to use for that purpose
20:36:39 <b_jonas> what the heck is whatbrowser?
20:37:43 <b_jonas> shachaf: wait what? that page seems to tell only how to identify the _language_ of the card from the card. how is that even useful?
20:37:52 <b_jonas> I assumed it was trying to tell how to identify what card it is
20:37:58 <b_jonas> like, the English name of the card
20:38:36 <shachaf> b_jonas: I was confused by the same thing.
20:38:52 <shachaf> b_jonas: But I just linked to it for the list of five one-off cards.
20:39:16 <b_jonas> shachaf: ah!
20:39:16 <ais523> b_jonas: I don't know, I'd never seen it before
20:39:18 <ais523> but I linked it earlier
20:39:47 <b_jonas> "The following five promotional cards are each printed in a language that no other cards are. From left to right, the languages are Hebrew, Arabic, Sanskrit, Classical Greek, and Latin."
20:40:00 <b_jonas> and they're not even Un-promos
20:40:19 <shachaf> Anyway we never used non-English cards.
20:40:29 <shachaf> We only used cards from booster boxes, in fact.
20:40:50 <shachaf> Because we felt like WotC wasn't making nearly enough money, I guess.
20:41:15 <b_jonas> shachaf: aren't there foreign language booster boxes? I mean, I think that's where most foreign language cards come from
20:41:27 <shachaf> Well, yes.
20:42:04 <shachaf> But I suspect that English-speaking players who use non-English cards usually get them individually, not in boxes.
20:42:26 <b_jonas> it's very lucky there are no hungarian language cards. if there were, I'd be flooded with stupid translated cards probably.
20:43:37 <b_jonas> Munchkin has hungarian translation, but luckily it's not a collectible cg
20:43:43 <shachaf> I kind of want to get the Hebrew card.
20:43:59 <shachaf> I guess it's not even Modern-legal.
20:44:08 <shachaf> I could make a Commander deck.
20:44:36 <b_jonas> and munchkin has a card that gets a bonus against creatures whose names start with a letter "J"

22:37:19 <hppavilion[1]> Where can I find the amazing, god-like software used in http://xkcd.com/1690/?
22:37:25 <quintopia> that seems like a useful feature.
22:37:51 <b_jonas> quintopia: fix it
22:38:03 <quintopia> i suck at the bashes
22:38:07 <shachaf> If you fix it we should talk about how lists work.
22:38:15 <b_jonas> quintopia: `learn
22:38:16 <shachaf> Because really they ought to share code.
22:38:30 <b_jonas> shachaf: well, there's an mklist
22:38:39 <shachaf> Right, but mklist just copies.
22:38:41 <hppavilion[1]> b_jonas: 'an'?
22:38:43 <quintopia> hppavilion[1]: www.rescuetime.com
22:38:56 <shachaf> So you can't retroactively change list code.
22:38:58 <b_jonas> shachaf: oh, you mean they should share code where you give a number and if that number was already listed for that list then it doesn't ping anyone?
22:39:10 <quintopia> or if you want something custom and manual: http://messymatters.com/tagtime/
22:39:18 <shachaf> The point is that the list code should only exist in one place in HackEgo.
22:39:30 <b_jonas> shachaf: ah, you mean good practices like code reuse
22:39:31 <b_jonas> yeah
22:39:45 <hppavilion[1]> quintopia: And how does it detect that I'm e.g. going through all the star wars movies and digitally replacing all of the lightsabres with regular metal swords?
22:39:47 <quintopia> b_jonas: that is what i'd like to have yes
22:39:51 <hppavilion[1]> Is it... is it Strong AI?
22:39:58 <shachaf> So with the current scheme, a list might be something like 'name="$1"; shift; exec runlist "$name" "$@"'
22:40:17 <quintopia> hppavilion[1]: TagTime does that, if you manually enter a tag to track that activity
22:40:27 <b_jonas> shachaf, quintopia: feel free to fix them, but I think it should be "$*" instead of "$1"
22:40:29 <hppavilion[1]> quintopia: Oh, that's boring
22:40:34 <b_jonas> although it probably doesn't matter
22:40:41 <b_jonas> since it's invoked with backtick usually
22:40:54 <b_jonas> only passes one arg
22:41:01 <b_jonas> so scratch that
22:41:10 <b_jonas> "$1" is fine
22:41:44 <shachaf> And then runlist would be something like 'grep -q "$2" share/listarchive/"$1" && exit; echo "$1" > share/listarchive/"$1"; tail -n+2 bin/"$1"'
22:41:56 <shachaf> Of course at that point there's no need to use this ridiculous self-modifying code scheme.
22:42:15 <b_jonas> shachaf: grep -qx probably
22:42:19 <shachaf> You can just have share/list/smlist containing usernames or something.
22:42:22 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: This is #esoteric, so yes there is.
22:42:25 <shachaf> b_jonas: Look, that's why I said "something like".
22:42:29 <b_jonas> yeah
22:42:39 <shachaf> hppavilion[1]: I wrote that self-modifying thing in the first place.
22:42:56 <quintopia> hppavilion[1]: as you have so astutely noted, anything less manual is AI-hard, and frankly, its existence would be terrifying
22:43:19 <b_jonas> shachaf: and you'd probably have to do something with empty or no argument
22:43:19 <shachaf> b_jonas: Also I mean 'echo "$2" >>', not 'echo "$1" >'
22:43:30 <shachaf> Look, that's why I said "something like".
22:43:35 <b_jonas> I know
22:43:54 <b_jonas> I just wonder what the semantics for that should be
22:43:57 <quintopia> is it wrong for b_jonas to suggest what space "something like" could span?
22:44:05 <shachaf> If you want to revamp lists, you should gopher it.
22:44:45 <quintopia> i don't have talent or a gopher client
22:45:03 <shachaf> Then go for it.
22:45:48 <quintopia> i'll go away from it

23:00:02 <b_jonas> shachaf: what's not written in perl?
23:00:15 <shachaf> The list replacement.
23:00:28 <b_jonas> shachaf: there isn't one yet
23:00:33 <shachaf> Right.
23:00:38 <shachaf> Do you prefer future tense?

23:02:04 <int-e> I hope it will not have been written in Perl. (have some future perfect!)
23:03:16 <b_jonas> where do we put execuables that shouldn't be executed directly? we don't have a libexec directory
23:03:25 <b_jonas> the list replacement backend (that each list invokes) should be there
23:03:36 <shachaf> I think it's fine to put in in bin/
23:03:42 <b_jonas> shachaf: nah, bin's in the path

23:23:45 <b_jonas> `? automatic squirrel feeder
23:23:49 <HackEgo> Automatic squirrel feeders are just feeders in the category of automatic squirrels. Taneb invented them.

23:27:11 <b_jonas> `? wolfram
23:27:13 <HackEgo> Stephen Wolfram is an esolanger with too much money and power. Taneb invented him.
23:27:17 <b_jonas> `? go
23:27:19 <HackEgo> Go is a common verbal game programming language invented by the Germanic Taneb tribes in the strategic territories of East Asia.
23:27:24 <b_jonas> `? d-module
23:27:26 <HackEgo> D-modules are just modules over the ring of differential operators. Taneb invented them.
23:27:27 <int-e> `learn English is an inherently ambiguous context-sensitive language that is too powerful to fully describe itself.
23:27:27 <b_jonas> `? costume
23:27:34 <HackEgo> Costumes are used for cosplay. Taneb sometimes invents them.

23:27:46 <HackEgo> historgram? ¯\(°​_o)/¯
23:27:48 <HackEgo> NIH was /not/ invented by Taneb.
23:27:53 <b_jonas> `? fundamental theorem of taneb
23:27:55 <HackEgo> The Fundamental Theorem of Taneb states that for all strings S, if S describes a thing, then it is provable that Taneb invented the thing described by S; and, furthermore, that it is provable that there exists a string T that describes a thing that Taneb did not invent.
23:27:59 <b_jonas> `? histogram
23:28:01 <HackEgo> Histograms are diagrams showing histamine levels. Taneb invented them.
23:28:03 <boily> int-e: the squirrels are fed to the automats hth.
23:28:27 <b_jonas> `? chu space
23:28:28 <HackEgo> A Chu space is just a matrix. Taneb invented them, then Chu stole his invention.
23:28:29 <b_jonas> `? torus
23:28:32 <HackEgo> Topologically, a torus is just a torus. Taneb invented it.
23:28:39 <b_jonas> `? the reals
23:28:40 <int-e> boily: darn. I was picturing things of nightmares... like the teletubbies.
23:28:40 <HackEgo> The reals are an overt complete ordered Brazilian currency invented by Taneb in 1994.
23:29:16 <b_jonas> heh

23:29:34 <HackEgo> teletubbies? ¯\(°​_o)/¯
23:29:37 <b_jonas> `? lie algebra
23:29:38 <HackEgo> A Lie algebra is what you get if you take the region infinitesimally close to the identity of a Lie group and blow it up to normal size.
23:30:06 <int-e> ... it's the opposite of a Truth algebra.
23:30:12 <b_jonas> did taneb invent lie algebras?
23:30:21 <b_jonas> or teletubbies?
23:30:23 <b_jonas> `? tanebventions
23:30:26 <HackEgo> Tanebventions include D-modules, Chu spaces, automatic squirrel feeders, the torus, gazpacho, Stephen Wolfram, Go, submarine jousting, the universe, weetoflakes, persistence, the reals, Lambek's lemma, histograms, the BBC, progress, and this sentence. He never invents anything involving sex.
23:30:36 <Taneb> b_jonas, this time next year I'll have invented Lie algebras
23:30:40 <int-e> hmm. Taneb vented.
23:31:15 <int-e> `? venture
23:31:27 <HackEgo> venture? ¯\(°​_o)/¯
23:32:11 <boily> int-e: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qvCQv-CDr4
23:33:26 <int-e> Now I want to connect venture capital, venting (which has to do with hot air), bubbles, and stock market bubble in partiuclar.
23:34:33 <int-e> but good night
23:36:00 <boily> bonne nuint-e!

23:38:35 <b_jonas> `? submarine jousting
23:38:37 <HackEgo> submarine jousting? ¯\(°​_o)/¯
23:38:45 <b_jonas> ^ should this have a wisomd entry? or is it a better joke unexplained?
23:39:04 <b_jonas> um, I mean, as an in-joke whose explanation we don't reveal
23:39:32 <b_jonas> (though the diligent can find it if they search the channel logs carefully)
23:39:58 <b_jonas> `? Lambek's lemma
23:39:59 <HackEgo> Lambek's lemma? ¯\(°​_o)/¯
23:40:06 <boily> `le/rn submarine jousting/This is unexplainable.
23:40:11 <HackEgo> Learned «submarine jousting»
23:40:14 <b_jonas> I've no idea what Lambek's lemma is though
23:40:54 <boily> Taneb: did you tanebvent lambek?

23:41:07 <b_jonas> boily: um, could you put that in a format where it has "submarine jousting", like "submarine jousting is unexplainable"?
23:41:25 <boily> oh hm. indeed.
23:41:37 <b_jonas> `? tolkien
23:41:38 <b_jonas> `? ring

23:42:28 <b_jonas> `? oerjan
23:42:29 <HackEgo> Your mysterious adjectival cackling overlord emeritus oerjan is a lazy expert in future computation. Also a Precambrian Norwegian who mildly dislikes Roald Dahl with a passion. Lately when he tries to remember a word, "amortized" pops up instead. His arch-nemesis is Betty Crocker.
23:46:20 <zzo38> "Evil" is how you write "live" backward.
23:47:57 <boily> oerjan lives far away in the Land of the Frost Giants. he's probably a unique monster himself, reachable through a long, arduous sidequesr.
23:48:10 <boily> s/sr/st/
23:49:28 <zzo38> I think I figured out the problem with my NTSC decoder and fixed it now.

23:53:11 <quintopia> boily: oerjan is not actually reachable by any means, even visiting Niflheim in person
23:53:44 <boily> darn.
23:53:49 <quintopia> you can only cast magical IRC spells in his direction and hope some of them are overheard from such a distance
23:55:02 <quintopia> so here comes that weekend where you're free and i'm not
23:55:11 <quintopia> i'm p much never free weekends anymore!
