00:20:57 <hppavilion[1]> \oren\: I don't know OO really. WHat does anyy of that mean?
00:21:35 * oerjan high fives hppavilion[1]
00:21:59 <hppavilion[1]> Is a singleton when you have an object that doesn't do anything except for store either only loosely- or entirely-unrelated data?
00:22:03 <oerjan> functional or bust!
00:22:03 <shachaf> oerjan-oriented programming
00:22:06 <hppavilion[1]> Instead of just storing it globally?
00:22:17 * hppavilion[1] creates the wiki page for ØO
00:22:26 <shachaf> @google what is a singleton
00:22:27 <lambdabot> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singleton_pattern
00:22:51 <hppavilion[1]> "In software engineering, the singleton pattern is a software design pattern that restricts the instantiation of a class to one object."
00:22:56 <shachaf> A singleton is a class that only has one instance.
00:23:00 <shachaf> This instance is stored in a global variable.
00:23:28 <shachaf> But instead of using that global variable directly, you call a method called getInstance() which checks if the variable is initialized and initializes it if it isn't.
00:23:31 <hppavilion[1]> So it's basically using a class for the exact opposite of what classes were invented for?
00:23:42 <oerjan> alas, even haskell has singletons, although goldfire is trying to fix that.
00:24:00 <shachaf> You just said you don't know OO, so how do you know what classes were invented for?
00:24:05 <shachaf> checkmate atheists
00:24:43 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: I don't do OO in the sense of using it as my technique. I still do plenty of stuff with classes when they're useful, but I don't structure my code *around* having classes
00:25:01 <shachaf> oerjan: What's wrong with Haskell singletons?
00:25:06 * oerjan has read the original Simula Begin book, or at least part of it.
00:25:30 <oerjan> shachaf: they're just a poor man's pi types, or something.
00:25:39 <hppavilion[1]> Like, if I need a Euclidean Vector, I'll create the EuVector class and make it deal with vectors logically, overloading operators as needed
00:26:10 * oerjan doesn't really know dependent typing either, obviously
00:26:33 <hppavilion[1]> Because that makes sense. I don't want to have to use addVectors(a, b) for addition, and if I'm using Vectors then I'm using a *lot* of vectors, so bundling their structure together in one big thing makes sense
00:26:38 <shachaf> oerjan: Do you like System F?
00:26:53 <oerjan> System F is beautiful
00:27:05 <shachaf> @ask zzo38 Do you like this?
00:27:05 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
00:27:25 <hppavilion[1]> Classes are good if you want a bunch of related data together, and you want to have a structure for putting that variety of related data together.
00:27:28 <oerjan> shachaf: are you sure you're not approaching harassment with that phrase
00:27:37 <shachaf> oerjan: no :'(
00:27:46 <shachaf> i wouldn't want to be harassing people
00:28:17 <shachaf> i hardly even noticed it until a third party pointed it out

01:44:53 <hppavilion[1]> The real problem with Stranger Danger is that it implies to children they don't have to be constantly paranoid about people they *do* know
01:48:11 <Warrigal> So I've got a dumb Wikipedia game.
01:48:34 <Warrigal> Start at whatever article. Try to get to the article "Indo-European languages" by following no more than 4 links.
01:49:10 <Warrigal> Example...
01:49:20 <Warrigal> "Mirza Mohammadabad (Persian: ميرزامحمداباد‎‎, also Romanized as Mīrzā Moḩammadābād) is a village in Garamduz Rural District, Garamduz District, Khoda Afarin County, East Azerbaijan Province, Iran."
01:49:27 <Warrigal> Option 1:
01:50:06 -!- hppavilion[1] has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
01:50:25 <Warrigal> That page happens to mention [[Daylight saving time]], and that article mentions the [[German Empire]], from which you can go to the [[German language]], and thence to [[Indo-European languages]].
01:50:48 <Warrigal> Option 2: dude, Persian is an Indo-European language. You only need 2 clicks.

02:20:09 <hppavilion[1]> @tell Warrigal Oh yeah? Well I've got an even dumber Wikipedia game: Get to the main page in as few clicks as possible.
02:20:09 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
02:20:46 <hppavilion[1]> Hm, I just thought of an actually-interesting one, but you have to be polylingual to make it work
02:21:16 <hppavilion[1]> Given a page and two wikipedia, get from that page on the first wiki to its counterpart on the second in as few clicks as possible
02:24:20 <Zarutian> @tell Warrigal can I convince you to deposit some in my Daylight Savings Fund? You know, sunlight for rainy day?
02:24:20 <lambdabot> Consider it noted.
02:30:13 <shachaf> DST is scow
02:30:58 <shachaf> But I'd be interested in some esoteric daylight derivatives.

03:18:12 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: Well, it's still interesting in the latter case, but not as much; you're just taking the distance to a particular article from the main page of the target language +1
03:20:12 <oerjan> um the sidebar links go to the corresponding page
03:42:07 <hppavilion[1]> oerjan: oh.

17:35:05 <b_jonas> seriously, a new pyramid?
17:35:06 <oerjan> b_jonas: actually the pyramid seems to be just parts left, so it's easier to hide. however, a pyramid being destroyed like that is obvious proof of ancient nuclear weapons!
17:36:20 <oerjan> clearly some aliens used a brahmastra there
17:37:33 <oerjan> which also explains why there's so much desert.
17:39:45 <shachaf> b_jonas: I don't know.
17:40:30 <b_jonas> oerjan: hehe
17:42:46 <b_jonas> oerjan: note that it's one of the pyramids built the latest, during the 13th dynasty. I think that means those ancient aliens are still building pyramids in the past as we speak, and when they build it in the past, we discover them meanwhile in the present.
17:43:01 <b_jonas> It's just not a very common event, because they only build one every few decades.
17:45:10 <oerjan> figures
17:45:49 <oerjan> (would these aliens happen to be three in number, and pretty stupid?)
17:52:46 <b_jonas> Instead of basing our metric system on hard to measure nuclear stuff, we should just define the centimeter as the thickness of typical wooden boards used in furniture.

21:08:55 <hppavilion[1]> Iff your language supports operator overloading, using a singleton to have an "undefined" type (for which any operation involving it is undefined) is allowed.
21:09:37 <wob_jonas> There should be a protocol that's half-compatible with IRC, with weaker guarantees, in which the servers need not be connected in a forest topology, so there can be cycles. That will help if we ever have servers on three non-collinear planets or moons or space stations, because restricting the connections to a forest can cause transmission delays.
