01:14:44 <ais523> what were you trying to do?
01:14:57 <shachaf> Oh, I guess ais523 is doing too.
01:15:01 <oerjan> ais523: add a ban reason
01:15:15 <ais523> I'm not sure if there is a ban reason field
01:15:16 <oerjan> ("oerjan is not banning", naturally)
01:15:20 <ais523> you can set up a redirect as part of a ban
01:15:31 <shachaf> Only to a channel that exists.
01:15:32 <oerjan> ais523: i vaguely thought $ without # after did that
01:15:46 <ais523> that bot's been attacking hugely many channels
01:15:51 <ais523> so normally Freenode tends to deal with it
01:15:51 <oerjan> but alas, it wants a real channel
01:15:59 -!- oerjan has set channel mode: -o oerjan.
01:16:03 <ais523> you also have to have ops in the target channel
01:16:26 <shachaf> ais523: People in some channel (#freenode?) said it wasn't a bot.
01:16:34 <shachaf> Though I don't remember their evidence for it.
01:16:40 <ais523> just a really dedicated human then?
01:16:46 <oerjan> oh hm i never got it banned
01:16:46 <shachaf> Oh well, so much for banning Lady Chatterley.
01:16:54 -!- ChanServ has set channel mode: +o oerjan.
01:17:03 -!- oerjan has set channel mode: +b chatter*!*@*.
01:17:08 -!- oerjan has set channel mode: -o oerjan.
01:17:20 <shachaf> There we go.
01:17:27 <shachaf> No obscenity in this channel.
01:17:30 <oerjan> the lack of ban reasons is really annoying, we have a huge ban list and i don't remember who half of them are
01:17:44 <oerjan> (also, the fact that the dates keep getting reset on them)
01:18:18 <ais523> search logs for the last messages by people who match the bans?
01:18:21 <ais523> that'd probably explain why they were banned
01:19:51 <boily> why was the hagbard banned again?
01:20:13 <oerjan> ais523: i'm not logging this channel.
01:20:23 <oerjan> and the tunes logs are not googleable.
01:20:30 <shachaf> You don't download the logs?
01:20:36 <oerjan> no.
01:20:39 <shachaf> imo download the logs
01:20:40 <ais523> ah, I vaguely assumed you had a local copy of the logs
01:20:43 <ais523> I do of the older ones
01:20:47 <ais523> haven't updated it in a while, though
01:20:51 <shachaf> My computer is gone. :-(
01:21:06 <shachaf> Fortunately I didn't store IRC logs on it.
01:21:25 <shachaf> Just a bunch of personal information and things.
01:21:47 <oerjan> boily: i think hagb4rd originally got banned for being obscene, or something. but then he kept evading bans forever, so now that's what he's banned for.

02:05:19 <boily> hellørjan tdh.
02:05:25 <boily> shachaf: oui, mais pourquoi 80?
02:05:36 <boily> ah. oui. 4 20.
02:05:41 * boily facepalms
02:05:46 <fizzie> World's most user-friendly Z80 assembler: silently turns "and a, 123" into "and a".
02:06:38 <ais523> fizzie: does z80's and only take one argument, or something?
02:06:58 <fizzie> Yeah.
02:07:37 <ais523> hmm, normally I'd assume that the other arg is an accumulator in that acse
02:07:40 <fizzie> Unlike some other things like 'add', the 'and' opcode is only capable on targeting the A register, so the syntax is just "and <reg>" or "and <immediate>".
02:07:46 <ais523> but if the accumulator isn't called a, what it is it called?
02:07:48 <ais523> oh, I see
02:07:59 <ais523> what you meant to write was "and 123", but "and a" is legal-but-useless
02:08:05 <fizzie> Yes. Well, mostly useless.
02:08:11 <ais523> sets flags?
02:08:16 <fizzie> Right.
02:08:32 <fizzie> There's no x86-esque "test" that would *only* set flags.
02:08:33 <shachaf> you should switch to the mill instead hth
02:08:48 <shachaf> Do you like the Mill CPU?
02:09:11 <fizzie> Anyway, for most other syntactical errors z80asm does say things like "junk at the end of line", but for this particular one it just silently ignores the second operand.
02:09:16 <ais523> learning about the Mill gave me an inexplicable urge to invent something with the same goals but differing in the details, and better
02:09:25 <ais523> but I didn't get very far on that
02:09:29 <ais523> it did inspire a golflang idea though
02:09:49 <oerjan> . o O ( must...learn...not to click...on \oren\'s links )
02:10:26 <ais523> well, my current browser setup has links on IRC open in the browser which has youtube blocked
02:10:46 <ais523> (I have a second browser which doesn't have youtube blocked, in case I want to look at a video intentionally)
02:10:51 <fizzie> ais523: To add insult to injury, the same assembler also treats "sub a, 123" as "sub 123" instead.
02:11:03 <ais523> this may go some way to explaining why I've never been rickrolled
02:11:08 <\oren\> oerjan: hahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaha
02:11:13 <ais523> and in fact have only gathered some facts about the rickroll indirectly
02:11:23 <fizzie> ('sub' instruction is in the same boat as 'and'; 'add', 'adc' and 'sbc' are the only ones that need two operands.)
02:11:27 <oerjan> <shachaf> `doag bin/w <-- it was put there to make `5 w simply
02:11:38 <shachaf> oerjan: But why not ln -s?
02:11:41 <\oren\> ais523: in this case is was a video with Kizuna Ai
02:12:16 <shachaf> ais523: You should start a competing startup.
02:13:03 <ais523> nah, I already have way too much work on my hands, and I have a suspicion that I can't do better than the Mill by myself and couldn't do significantly better even with a whole company behind me
02:13:16 <shachaf> You should join the Mill project.
02:15:13 <ais523> isn't it proprietary? I have enough to do as it is
02:15:29 <ais523> and helping out a proprietary project without being paid to do so doesn't seem like a good use of my time
02:15:37 <oerjan> shachaf: because ln -s sometimes breaks in HackEgo, so i avoid it in bin/ where it's never really needed
02:15:44 <\oren\> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9EqgXBbMAc
02:16:00 <shachaf> but you can get equity!!
02:16:38 <shachaf> kmc: you should watch some of the mill videos with all your spare time, they're great
02:16:55 <ais523> shachaf: whether or not mill succeeds will almost certainly depend on factors other than its actual technical merit
02:17:04 <shachaf> Of course.
02:17:15 <ais523> you need to be something like 10× better than a competitor to beat them on technical merit alone
02:17:21 <kmc> shachaf: link?
02:17:31 <shachaf> http://millcomputing.com/technology/docs/
02:17:33 <kmc> ok
02:17:41 <kmc> any particular ones?
02:18:20 <shachaf> Hmm, I think the order they're listed in is pretty good.

18:35:58 <b_jonas> \oren\: I have a very unusual surname, one that I share with only about a dozen people, all of whom I'm distantly related to, so that happens to be quite searchable

18:36:45 <Taneb> Like "raleighgator"

18:39:50 <b_jonas> \oren\: note that what google finds depends a LOT on the interface language ("hl" query parameter) and lots of other not very obvious variables

19:19:34 <b_jonas> rdococ: I hate "autumn". the word, because I can't spell it. it's on my list at https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/User:B_jonas#Some_words_of_which_I_need_to_learn_the_spelling
19:19:35 <shachaf> why do you do this
19:19:59 <rdococ> b_jonas, from now on I will name it autumm, like dilemma
19:20:30 <Jafet> LKoen: what? sounds smoulderingly haughty
19:20:35 <rdococ> or just name it fall
19:20:49 <b_jonas> shachaf: yes, I specifically removed ones like "dance, glance, fence, trance" that aren't pronounced with a schwa. those have the stress on the ance or ence syllable, so it's easy to guess the spelling from the pronunciation
19:21:10 <b_jonas> obviously this isn't a complete list, but I don't want to make the wisdom entry too long
19:21:26 <b_jonas> many of the hard to spell ones would come later in the list
19:21:27 <shachaf> But it's already too long.
19:21:36 <b_jonas> exactly
19:22:09 <b_jonas> correspondence is another tricky one
19:22:38 <shachaf> the best kind of dance
19:22:52 <myname> learn german
19:22:56 <b_jonas> (next ones would be: allowance, commence, competence, convenience, correspondence, essence, freelance, incidence, occurrence, ordinance, providence, relevance, renaissance, significance, silence, surveillance, tolerance, variance,
19:23:29 <b_jonas> abundance, ambulance, conscience, consistence, convergence, dependence, dependance, disturbance, elegance, emergence, evanescence, grievance, ignorance, inference, inheritance, interference, issuance, negligence, patience, prevalence, reliance, resonance, stance,
19:23:34 <b_jonas> ...)
19:23:43 <b_jonas> what's the difference between dependence and dependance?
19:23:52 <shachaf> allowence, commance, competance, conveniance, correspondance, essance, freelence, incidance, occurrance, ordinence, procidance, relevence, renaissence, significence, silance, surveillence, tolerence, varience
19:24:04 <b_jonas> commance?
19:24:08 <b_jonas> what's that
19:24:55 <b_jonas> apparently dependance is the same as dependence, and dependence is the more frequent spelling
19:24:55 * shachaf looks askance at b_jonas
19:26:25 <b_jonas> "autumn" is one of those rare words where the French spelling looks way better as an English spelling than the actual English spelling
19:28:30 <\oren\> commence
19:28:56 <\oren\> b_jonas: in my country we jsut call it fall
19:29:08 <\oren\> spring summer fall winter
19:29:19 <shachaf> They're called leaves because they leave the trees in the fall. Which is why it's called fall.

19:39:43 <shachaf> Maybe it explains.
19:45:42 <Jafet> but why is the previous season called summer? it doesn't add up
19:47:47 <b_jonas> hehe. it's funny when an old text mentions something really old and well-known and calls it "new" because it was new back then
19:50:51 <b_jonas> Jafet: isn't that because it was discovered by the sumers, who lived in a warm place where it was always summer?
19:51:21 <b_jonas> or maybe because that's when you see adders the most often, and the sum of many adders is a summer.

22:31:48 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: Well, true
22:32:20 <quintopia> hppavilion[1]: i agree. i've thought the same many times. i figure someday the SI people will switch from A to C as the base unit
22:32:28 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: The acceleration from earth's gravity is 0 m HzHz at the center of the earth
22:32:50 <shachaf> I just like HzHz
22:32:57 <hppavilion[1]> quintopia: Or we'll have a French Revolution-style uprising and replace SI
22:33:01 <shachaf> mHzHz is unfortunately ambiguous.
22:33:10 <shachaf> Is it milliherzhertz or metrehertzhertz?
22:33:24 <quintopia> the former
22:33:31 <quintopia> you need a center dot to make the latter
22:34:27 <hppavilion[1]> shachaf: I've noticed that 'm' is a rather overloaded symbol
22:34:34 <shachaf> mm
22:34:48 <quintopia> but i think m/s² is clearer for common usage than m-dot-Hz-dot-Hz
22:35:01 <hppavilion[1]> I try to avoid using it to mean 'mass' because it's already pretty ambiguous
22:36:07 <shachaf> Center dots don't exist.
22:36:19 <shachaf> There is no encoding but ASCII.
22:36:27 <hppavilion[1]> The only way you can really distinguish between "milliwhatevres" and "metres-by-whatevres" is dimensions; if you're told the force is "3 mN", you know it isn't a Newton-metre because it's force and not energy

22:47:05 <hppavilion[1]> I'm sure that was going somewhere, but I've forgot where that is.
22:47:20 <\oren\> I think the base units should be changed so that the speed of light is exactly 300 Mm/s
22:47:27 <hppavilion[1]> \oren\: Agreed
22:48:15 <hppavilion[1]> \oren\: Or, well, SI should create alternative sets of units that get grouped together (you choose one set and only use the equivalent units for that one)
22:49:03 <\oren\> and so that the kg is such that Newton's constant is exactly 2/3 * 10 ^ -11

22:51:13 <hppavilion[1]> \oren\: Met[er]{2}s wouldn't change so that long ass-distances wouldn't need their signs remarked, but the alternative set would include nice sciencey units

22:52:40 <hppavilion[1]> (I'm assuming that we are NOT fucking changing seconds because we worked hard on those dammit)
22:53:02 <hppavilion[1]> \oren\: I'd also like kg to be the base scale for mass, having no prefix
22:53:10 <quintopia> we worked hard on km too
22:53:47 <hppavilion[1]> quintopia: Yeah, but our computers can keep track of individual microseconds from the couch.
22:53:49 <hppavilion[1]> So.
22:53:57 <hppavilion[1]> (I mean, kinda?)
22:54:42 <hppavilion[1]> \oren\: Because as it is, everything is defined in terms of kilograms (exempli gratia 1 N = 1 kg*m/s^2), but it's presented as if it's 1000× the base for mass
22:56:00 <\oren\> well before they had the cgs system where instead they had centimetres
22:56:05 <\oren\> grams and seconds
22:56:19 <hppavilion[1]> It should just have an atomic name. If it was "lard" (l) (yes, like fat), then a normal gram would be "ml", a milligram would be μl, a metric ton would be kl, etc.
22:57:06 <hppavilion[1]> \oren\: Yeah, I've heard of that.
22:57:11 <\oren\> well why not use metres, tons, seconds
22:57:30 <hppavilion[1]> \oren\: ...tons like tons or tons like tonnes?
22:57:41 <hppavilion[1]> Like, metric tonnes? 1 Mg?
22:58:00 <zzo38> I don't like "tonnes" and "metric tons"; "megagram" is a better name for that unit.
22:58:10 <zzo38> Use "tons" to refer to the non-metric unit
22:59:02 <\oren\> a car weighs 1 ton and travels at 30 metres per second
23:00:14 <\oren\> it contains therefore, 600 ton metre squared per second per second of energy
