1 2003-02-07.txt:04:45:25: <SamB> is that life?
2 2003-02-07.txt:04:45:53: <SamB> game-of-life
3 2003-02-07.txt:06:36:35: <exarkun> any alien life that can pick up em radiation in the same spectrum as us (not necessarily without mechanical aid) could probably decipher them pretty quickly
4 2003-03-22.txt:02:52:51: <dbc> Well, that's nice to know. Now I can stop worrying and go back to my normal life in a pleasant city without bombs falling on it.
5 2003-07-26.txt:12:20:43: <andreou> anyone has halflife/counterstrike serial or keygen?
6 2003-07-29.txt:22:28:36: <Taaus> I've moved... Twice. In my entire lifetime.
7 2003-08-05.txt:23:44:29: <lament> (while clog was away, somebody came and told us the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything, but this sentence is too small to contain it)
8 2003-09-04.txt:01:36:07: <lament> For the first time in my life!
9 2004-02-08.txt:20:52:21: <lament> Toreun: second, you could implement something like the game of life - probably easy with a 2d field and source editing
10 2004-02-08.txt:20:52:27: <lament> and game of life is TC
11 2004-04-29.txt:06:22:21: <andretwo> life's full of difficult choices.
12 2004-05-27.txt:15:11:49: <fizzie> hm, since when have I had this '@' character in front of my name and why? it's scary. if I make an U-turn I might hit it and it'd terminate this program. (assuming life works like befunge. would think it does.)
13 2004-05-31.txt:19:05:04: <lament> he's the life of the party.
14 2004-06-28.txt:02:45:30: <Toreun> it made my life easy when proving turing-completeness for my language
15 2004-07-12.txt:21:54:08: <mtve> recursion is harder for computers, its purpose is only to make life easier for a human :)
16 2004-07-26.txt:21:50:23: <Keymaker> i hate quake(s), counter-strike and half-life, and i couldn't go anything nice to demo scene either..
17 2004-07-26.txt:22:18:55: <fizzie> I think I telnet'd to freenet and had my first IRC experience pretty soon after we got 'personal eunet' at home. and since I'm 21 now, I think after a year I can say I've irc'd (wasted?) half of my life.
18 2004-08-05.txt:04:49:27: <lament> anyway, don't choose esoteric languages as a hobby. it will ruin your life.
19 2004-08-05.txt:04:49:53: <JoeyP> It's actually a way of life.
20 2004-08-05.txt:04:55:01: <JoeyP> Haha, your life is a failure :(
21 2004-12-26.txt:22:23:39: <lament> oh, Game of Life is another one of those basic concepts
22 2004-12-26.txt:22:32:02: <ZeroOne> nooga: Conway's Game of Life
23 2004-12-26.txt:22:32:41: <ZeroOne> isn't that a familiar concept to you? fizzie said earlier that a befunge interpreter is often the first thing he does with a new language. Game of Life is mine. :)
24 2004-12-26.txt:23:27:45: <Keymaker> i'll suggest the "standardish" EOF=0 to make everyone's life easier
25 2005-03-04.txt:00:24:57: <{^Raven^}> it makes my life a bit easier and is less implementation dependant
26 2005-03-11.txt:04:50:53: <arke> which would make life SOOOO much easier
27 2005-03-18.txt:20:41:35: <arke> hows life?
28 2005-04-12.txt:06:11:08: <calamari> your life must be running in bf then :)
29 2005-04-12.txt:06:22:56: <lament> my life is very object-oriented at the moment
30 2005-04-12.txt:06:26:17: <calamari> so the game of life
31 2005-04-16.txt:03:23:51: <arke> and you approach life like that
32 2005-05-07.txt:19:01:09: <pgimeno> I'm going to have some social life for a change
33 2005-05-07.txt:19:01:21: <GregorR> But ... but I thought #esoteric was your social life :'(
34 2005-05-12.txt:06:55:40: <puzzlet> Conway's Game of Life in Braille patterns
35 2005-05-12.txt:10:47:36: <pgimeno> life is too short :(
36 2005-05-12.txt:10:48:17: <KnX> fork(life);
37 2005-05-12.txt:16:11:12: <fizzie> I've met at least two in real-life too.
38 2005-05-12.txt:19:28:46: <kipple> I also plan to keep my domain for life, but who can really tell...
39 2005-05-12.txt:19:35:06: <GregorR-L> Who then spend their entire life trying to deny it ;)
40 2005-05-22.txt:02:03:44: <GregorR> Anyway, I've got to go eat home-made chicken soup. It's a terrible life. Bye 8-D
41 2005-05-24.txt:00:06:53: <pgimeno> there are so many real life aspects that remind me of moments in the movie...
42 2005-05-24.txt:18:43:45: <pgimeno> BF for real life? go away, you freak!!!
43 2005-05-25.txt:01:11:55: <GregorR> I live in the happy world where the esowiki is about 1.6GB and there's more data there than anybody could swim through in a lifetime :P
44 2005-06-02.txt:20:31:10: <sp3tt> Thanks. Have to go now. Be back tomorrow. Esoteric for life!
45 2005-06-02.txt:21:54:50: <lament> oh and the game of life of course
46 2005-06-04.txt:08:17:03: <GregorR-L> Amino acids are combined into peptide sequences, which in turn fold into proteins, which are the most prominant physical building blocks of life.
47 2005-06-05.txt:18:48:52: <cpressey> wp has "article which should be a category" category... that way a topic can start life as an article, then eventually become a category when it's clear that it needs to be... maybe that model would work better than trying to categorize everything immediately
48 2005-06-07.txt:01:15:32: <cpressey> life, otoh, can
49 2005-06-07.txt:08:55:21: <lament> dunno what's more technically impressive, that thing or the life turing machine
50 2005-06-07.txt:09:01:15: <pgimeno> life turing machine? you mean Conway's Life, right?
51 2005-06-07.txt:09:03:21: <lament> the annoying thing is that after they do something like that, it's completely pointless to do anything with wireworld (or life) :(
52 2005-06-07.txt:09:06:54: <pgimeno> where have you found about Life?
53 2005-06-09.txt:06:11:47: <calamari> yeah.. I'm not very familiar with gas stoves yet.. I've had electric all my life
54 2005-06-14.txt:00:56:04: <harkeyahh> apparently Jackson got 10 years to life in Juvenile Hall
55 2005-06-16.txt:20:40:52: <calamari> whoever wrote this has even less of a life than I do :)
56 2005-06-16.txt:23:38:31: <lament> kipple: "programming is like sex, you make one mistake and support it the rest of your life"
57 2005-06-21.txt:18:30:54: <wooby> story of my life :)
58 2005-06-25.txt:00:14:44: <calamari> well, real life beckons.. bbl
59 2005-06-27.txt:00:43:34: <{^Raven^}> thx, I really hate to keep bugging you about BFBASIC, esp since you have a life and all
60 2005-06-27.txt:00:44:44: <calamari> haha, I have a life?
61 2005-06-28.txt:07:18:32: <calamari> is life the simplest turing complete automaton ?
62 2005-06-28.txt:08:37:01: <calamari> life is 3x3, right? I wonder if there can be a 2x2
63 2005-06-28.txt:08:38:14: <pgimeno> am I the only one who thinks that Wireworld is simpler than Life?
64 2005-06-28.txt:09:24:57: <lament> wireworld makes a lot more sense than Life
65 2005-06-28.txt:18:33:06: <cpressey> of course, in befunge, you can make life easier by storing the data in one register and the program in the other... and you can use a less pathological encoding for the program (e.g. 8 bits per symbol)
66 2005-06-29.txt:23:43:51: <lament> unlike Life where you can create stuff
67 2005-06-30.txt:21:13:39: <BigZaphod> fun event: build those wood and water gates in real life on carts with hoses and stuff. then you could do a live-action esolang thing where you code by pushing the carts around and making connections.
68 2005-07-11.txt:23:45:36: <BigZaphod> not really esolang, but this was fun: http://www.bigzaphod.org/life.html
69 2005-07-11.txt:23:45:42: <BigZaphod> game of life in CSS + javascript. :)
70 2005-07-12.txt:00:29:18: <pgimeno> BigZaphod: your Life program is traversing the whole area and counting the neighbours of each cell, right?
71 2005-07-23.txt:18:54:05: <jix> lindi-: yes a real-life key
72 2005-07-23.txt:20:47:05: <{^Raven^}> Life and other projects got in the way
73 2005-07-25.txt:18:45:51: <calamari> I could come up with a more complicated real-life example, but the idea would be obscured
74 2005-07-28.txt:01:39:52: <Gs30ng> The word "Befunge" started life as a typographical error for the word "before", typed by Curtis Coleman at 4AM on a BBS chat system.
75 2005-08-02.txt:00:48:39: <GregorR> You know what I hate? The phrase "life as we know it." Every time somebody wants to argue against the theory of evolution, they use the phrase "life as we know it" hence completely invalidating their argument.
76 2005-08-05.txt:19:37:27: <calamari> function notation has been ingrained in me all my life.. it's hard to let go. :) trying tho!
77 2005-08-06.txt:00:15:27: <puzzlet> half-life?
78 2005-08-16.txt:22:48:49: <jix> WildHalcyon: i talk about real-life knowing
79 2005-08-18.txt:01:57:48: <WildHalcyon> Yeah, Im taking a genetics course to fulfill a 2 credit life science req. Its b.s.
80 2005-09-16.txt:05:05:41: <twobitsprite> anyone here know OCaml, and care to help me debug my BF interpreter? I'm having some very frustrating problems that I can't for the life of me figure out...
81 2005-09-21.txt:04:15:45: <lament> what is the meaning of life?
82 2005-09-21.txt:04:16:39: <Arrogant> 42 is the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything.
83 2005-09-21.txt:04:16:42: <Arrogant> Not the meaning of life.
84 2005-09-21.txt:04:17:14: <GregorR> Life (n): The property or quality that distinguishes living organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter, manifested in functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli or adaptation to the environment originating from within the organism.
85 2005-09-21.txt:04:17:46: <Arrogant> No, the meaning of life is expressed in eight instructions: +-><[].,
86 2005-10-01.txt:02:52:50: <Wildhalcyon> Anyhow, regardless of what direction up is, is there anything in your life that's pointing that way?
87 2005-10-03.txt:18:33:59: <WildHalcyon_> more like lazy evaluation applied to all walks of life.
88 2005-10-09.txt:16:14:53: <jix> so i thought make e] => exit with code POP and e[ => toggle life/buffered IO
89 2005-10-09.txt:16:16:53: <wildhalcyon> life/buffered?
90 2005-10-12.txt:06:50:36: <Robdgreat> I just can't use it to save my life
91 2005-10-18.txt:07:28:02: <GregorR> With the only selection being how often it runs the ! command, the only evolution is production of the most parasitic possible lifeform :P
92 2005-10-21.txt:14:44:50: <fizzie> 14:13:36 < fizzie> What I find funny is that it takes on the order of weeks of game-time for the "signals" to "propagate" through the "circuits". Doing this same thing in real-life would be incredibly slow and boring.
93 2005-10-22.txt:06:30:11: <lament> ah, life is a glorious cycle of song.
94 2005-10-23.txt:21:31:44: <fizzie> Or I go "hey, I haven't used a regular expression in the last 10 lines, must write while(length($rest) > 0 && $rest =~ /^((?:(?:$ex_nt|$ex_t|$ex_e)(?:\s+|$|(?=\|)))*)\s*(?:\||$)\s*(.*)$/) here". (Those are both real-life examples, btw.)
95 2005-10-28.txt:03:56:49: <GregorR> Oh, don't worry: Soon enough you'll have four and be able to say "Wow, that was a waste of my life" :-P
96 2005-10-28.txt:04:46:14: <wildhalcyon> There's a lot of "except that ones" that I would list... there's only a few religions I feel comfortable associating myself with in any kind of conversionary way - even for the last few minutes of my life
97 2005-10-28.txt:04:51:07: <wildhalcyon> Anyhow, right now I am *happily* agnostic, and a few religions have threatened that I shall not experience eternal life (i.e. no hell - just lack of existence if I deny jesus), which - as a partial atheist, doesnt exactly inspire fear.
98 2005-10-29.txt:10:35:54: <encoded> <Bender> My life, and by extension everyone else's, is meaningless.
99 2005-11-01.txt:05:38:43: <lament> GregorR: drivers destroy the environment. This will ultimately lead to death of all life on Earth. "Very little" adds up.
100 2005-11-01.txt:05:45:10: <Robdgreat> lament: if Gregor can go through life without ever having made a bad decision, so can anybody.
101 2005-11-26.txt:05:28:29: <calamari> I think I can make jix's life easier by treating jump locations like y values.. first it's a number, so jump 100, but jump *100 would jump to the line given in cell 100
102 2005-12-14.txt:11:41:28: <nooga> and for Half Life 2
103 2006-01-15.txt:02:00:43: <GregorR> Maybe I need to make superstatic variables in Glass, so I could implement a randomiser with a lifespan ...
104 2006-01-18.txt:22:27:00: <fizzie> I think it's more about the arguable unfairness of life at that point.
105 2006-01-18.txt:22:27:43: <fizzie> A fair life is one where vending machines dispense products 50 % of the times you insert a coin.
106 2006-01-27.txt:16:15:27: <jix> i think it's a lot easier to use it for real life problems than the lambda calculus
107 2006-01-31.txt:03:00:53: <GregorR> Good thing we're all thinking of the /important/ things in life.
108 2006-02-04.txt:05:24:19: <calamari> to make your life possiobly easier, you might consider implementing a subset of c
109 2006-02-09.txt:01:36:14: <GregorR> You've just found the meaning of life?
110 2006-02-26.txt:16:53:05: <GregorR> DO NOT PUT THE BABY ON LIFEGUARD DUTY
111 2006-03-04.txt:11:42:10: <fuse> nooga: here's one i wrote a while ago: http://fuse.superglue.se/life.c.txt
112 2006-03-20.txt:22:57:57: <fluffythe> what is the answer to life the univers and everyhting?
113 2006-04-01.txt:20:55:42: <jix> calamari: it's maybe impossible to create such an interpreter but even if one could the program would never complete in the lifetime of the sun
114 2006-04-19.txt:07:13:50: <calamari> Arrogant: nothing, been dealing with real life lately
115 2006-04-26.txt:06:51:28: <GregorR> And that's been my entire life for about a week :P
116 2006-04-30.txt:01:42:18: <graue> but now its size is no longer equal to life, the universe, and everything :(
117 2006-05-08.txt:19:13:53: <GregorR-W> Unfortunately, these stupid "life" threads get in the way and I can't spawn other hacker project threads.
118 2006-05-13.txt:02:04:22: <graue> how's life, Simon?
119 2006-05-26.txt:17:01:41: * SimonRC was using the format used by Life32, etc
120 2006-05-26.txt:17:05:10: <ihope_> Life32 doesn't seem to support generations rules.
121 2006-05-26.txt:17:06:16: <SimonRC> I suspect Life32 is faster, though
122 2006-06-05.txt:17:33:35: <GregorR-W> Whenever you are feeling very small or insecure, just remember how unlikely is your birth! And hope that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space, because it's bugger all down here on Earth!
123 2006-06-05.txt:17:57:30: <sedimin> you see. and no exceptions in real life when you try to speak it
124 2006-06-09.txt:18:06:28: <sedimin> when do you ask wazzup in real life?
125 2006-06-24.txt:22:45:59: <_W_> autocomplete for instance, is a lifesaver
126 2006-07-09.txt:02:50:26: <nooga> always look on the bright side of life i'd say
127 2006-07-10.txt:08:04:57: <thematrixeatsyou> RedGreen contains John Conway's "Game of Life" cellular automaton as a subset within it, and Life has been shown to be Turing-complete; thus, RedGreen should also be Turing-complete.
128 2006-07-22.txt:03:44:09: <GregorR> Yeah, there's a life acheivement to be proud of ;)
129 2006-07-25.txt:17:23:47: <nooga> my night hacking was really playing "half life 2 ep. one" and writing snake clone using SDL -.-'
130 2006-07-27.txt:23:50:49: <Razor-X> I think EgoBot is going through a Midlife Crisis.
131 2006-07-28.txt:19:10:11: <lament> how's life?
132 2006-08-03.txt:20:58:09: <RodgerTheGreat> stupid people breed earlier in life, which is all the more beneficial for organisms with a long gestation period. The only question is wether the survival of offspring is affected by the intelligence of the parent. (leaving babies in cars without cracking the windows, for example.)
133 2006-08-04.txt:04:16:15: <GregorR> Y'know, I'd consider esolangs a /minor/ part of my life :P
134 2006-08-04.txt:04:17:01: <pikhq> By sheer mass, I'd say you're in a lot of mailing lists, and that's your life. :p
135 2006-08-04.txt:04:17:06: <GregorR> mplayer and python were for work, so they're a fairly silly representation of my life.
136 2006-08-05.txt:04:39:55: <GregorR> Your know quote for life.
137 2006-08-06.txt:01:53:02: <Razor-X> In real life, I'm in 3D space, and I can move in any of the 6 directions at ANY time. I can't *only* walk along the Z axis, until I restrict myself to 2D-space and then *only* walk along the Y axis.
138 2006-08-06.txt:19:01:14: <RodgerTheGreat> like Life or Noit o' mnain worb.
139 2006-08-06.txt:19:10:15: <pikhq> 3D Life? :p
140 2006-08-06.txt:19:11:26: <ihope> 3D Life?
141 2006-08-07.txt:10:26:42: <Razor-X> Most adults read the newspaper, do their bills, et voila. That's their excursion with words done for life.
142 2006-08-07.txt:14:31:26: <pikhq> I read every waking hour of my life. . .
143 2006-08-09.txt:17:40:39: <Razor-X> I mean, if you've never coded in your life..........
144 2006-08-10.txt:17:45:30: * RodgerTheGreat has no life
145 2006-08-11.txt:18:02:34: <pikhq> If you Google my nickname, you'll find a history of my life from age 8 on (most of my life is on the Internet). :p
146 2006-08-16.txt:00:27:52: <GregorR-W> It's supposed to enforce a sort of unified coding style, but because said coding style makes one part very fuzzy (ending multiple blocks), people do it different ways, causing a proliferation of different styles, which is exactly what they were trying to stop by doing it in the first place X_X
147 2006-08-18.txt:20:00:53: <GregorR-W> No, that's the code problem causing Freenode servers to come to life and kill people rampantly.
148 2006-08-20.txt:02:02:36: <pikhq> Maybe just have it be a real-life Rubik's cube, instead of cubes with an infinite amount of colors on it?
149 2006-08-20.txt:02:59:10: <RodgerTheGreat> I feel that the primary requisite for life, contrary to the complex list posited in most biology texts, is simply reproduction with inherited change. Viruses are alive, because they are not static.
150 2006-08-20.txt:02:59:43: * CakeProphet considers computer code a form of life.
151 2006-08-22.txt:02:18:45: <pikhq> I've been coding for half of my life. :)
152 2006-08-23.txt:00:44:39: <CakeProphet> I just simply don't care... life is here for me to have fun... if I'm not having fun I'm wasting my life.
153 2006-08-23.txt:01:38:07: <Razor-X> You think I've taken a programming course in my life? :D
154 2006-08-24.txt:04:00:55: <GregorR> They all suck and your life is a failure.
155 2006-08-24.txt:22:14:01: <Razor-X> You and your ``life''.
156 2006-08-25.txt:18:33:29: <Razor-X> Maybe I should start writing a blog and labor under this false illusion that other people care about what I do in my life.
157 2006-08-25.txt:18:54:02: <lament> what is the meaning of life?
158 2006-08-25.txt:19:03:55: <ihope> Life: noun. 1. The state that precedes death and follows birth or conception.
159 2006-08-26.txt:00:09:39: <RodgerTheGreat> anyway, the point I was trying to get to is that high-school isn't about learning things, really- it's about getting high enough grades to get into the college you want and developing rudimentary social skills so that your life in the real world won't suck ass.
160 2006-08-26.txt:00:16:56: <lament> CakeProphet: it's just how life works
161 2006-08-26.txt:00:21:30: <pikhq> Realise that sexual attraction is the major driving force in, oh. . . Life? The universe? Everything?
162 2006-08-26.txt:00:32:58: <RodgerTheGreat> not going to work. wether you like people or not, you will deal with and interact with them for your entire life.
163 2006-08-29.txt:04:12:40: <GreyKnight> I say "world", because there's little sense of an actual *story* as such; things are coming and going without so much as a by-your-leave, like real life

170 2006-09-04.txt:10:26:01: <fizzie> Razor-X; That's not something to teach to small children. They'll be scarred for life!
171 2006-09-04.txt:23:12:09: <ihope_> That means it sucks random things and you fail at life.
172 2006-09-06.txt:07:57:17: <Razor-X> That was the stupidest I've ever felt in my life :D.
173 2006-09-20.txt:22:51:29: <pikhq> Presumably she has a "life".
174 2006-09-21.txt:00:24:55: <CakeProphet> Well, I need a real life application... which confounds me slightly.
175 2006-09-21.txt:22:08:52: * RodgerTheGreat stabs GregorR-W, holds a gun against his head, and pulls the trigger. His lifeless corpse makes a feeble gesture of victory before collapsing in a heap. A ghostly voice says "Pwwwnnnz000rr3d..."
176 2006-09-25.txt:01:16:46: <Razor-X> Well, I'll probably be needing an X server of some sort (XVesa is my guess), GNUPlot to make life easier, and if possible, the capability to run Chicken.
177 2006-09-27.txt:03:58:37: <RodgerTheGreat> such a hard life you must have...
178 2006-10-05.txt:20:33:24: <|wez|> always look on the bright side of life
179 2006-10-14.txt:21:57:55: <Razor-X> So. How's life?
180 2006-10-14.txt:21:58:26: <ihope> My life has not yet ended.
181 2006-10-14.txt:22:32:13: <RodgerTheGreat> RNA itself can fold into simple enzymes, which is a revelation when you start thinking about what must've gone on in the initial formation of life.
182 2006-10-22.txt:19:02:40: <oerjan> sure, if you have more than the lifetime of the universe...
183 2006-10-23.txt:22:25:21: <GregorR-L> Maybe not by mere humans with their short life span :P
184 2006-10-29.txt:00:02:18: <oerjan> ah, it comes with a nifty lifetime guarantee
185 2006-10-29.txt:18:30:46: <CakeProphet> But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it. And for your
186 2006-10-29.txt:18:30:48: <CakeProphet> lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting
187 2006-10-29.txt:18:30:51: <CakeProphet> the life of his fellow man.
188 2006-11-01.txt:23:24:48: <RodgerTheGreat> those that say otherwise haven't seen the postscript game of life or raytracing simulations
189 2006-11-06.txt:01:43:24: <oerjan> are you referring to the game of life (in which case you are being silly) or do i need to explain lorentz transformations?
190 2006-11-06.txt:01:45:03: <lament> game of life of course
191 2006-11-06.txt:01:52:41: <pikhq> Which would imply a finite lifespan.
192 2006-11-06.txt:07:04:19: * rt was thinking that the perfect name (had it not already been taken) for sort of the "anti" Second Life would have been Halflife. It's a massively multiplayer game, but you never see anyone, the environment is just your dingy apartment, surrrounded by coke cans and pizza boxes, where your only interaction with others is by typing on your virtual computer, but there are no women, only guys.
193 2006-11-07.txt:15:53:34: <SimonRC> What's more mind-numbing than _Big Brother_ and more pointless than _Second Life_? Yes, it's _Big Brother_ set *in* _Second Life_: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/06/bb_second_life/
194 2006-11-08.txt:01:37:59: <SevenInchBread> Are there any programming languages based on Life?
195 2006-11-08.txt:04:08:28: <Razor-X> Life itself is just like a programming language, with a set of operations, and a specific form of machine it operates on.
196 2006-11-08.txt:04:15:58: <calamari> there is a turing machine (or was it a utm?) implemented in the game of Life
197 2006-11-12.txt:01:15:32: <Razor-X> And he is convinced that he has to make faulty real-life analogies to Physics concepts.
198 2006-11-15.txt:02:57:20: <Asztal> there's a lot of rules that you will, in practice, almost never need to know (such as... did you know the lifetime of an typeinfo object returned by the typeid operator? etc)
199 2006-11-17.txt:00:41:27: <Razor-X> I think a higher-order function is only difficult if you've been trained as an imperative robot all of your life.
200 2006-11-19.txt:21:44:56: <SimonRC> If I were a cracker, I would make sure that I hosted my own DNS, set the reverse lookup lifetimes to 0, then made reverse lookups *really* slow.
201 2006-11-26.txt:04:16:52: <RodgerTheGreat> like the game of life, only with different rules
202 2006-12-02.txt:05:56:21: <pikhq> Classifying Lisp and COBOL together is like classifying Life and Death together.
203 2006-12-04.txt:00:17:36: <GregorR> I searched for "what is the true meaning of life"
204 2006-12-04.txt:00:17:53: <GregorR> "The meaning of life is to increase fitness"
205 2006-12-06.txt:03:34:30: <SimonRC> hehehe: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4049365580674350429&q=half+life+2+physics+domino+effect
206 2006-12-07.txt:00:06:22: <SimonRC> They can last as a project from a few days to a lifetime.
207 2006-12-20.txt:20:26:09: <Sukoshi> Well, I lie. He just came back to life yesterday.
208 2006-12-20.txt:22:27:19: <GregorR-W> IMHO it makes life easier for developers who don't know/care about aclocal, autoconf, autoheader, libtoolize and automake.
209 2006-12-20.txt:22:33:54: <GregorR-W> If you're having trouble with HTML on your way to a CS degree, you need to reconsider your life choices XD
210 2006-12-23.txt:11:41:17: <pgimeno> xlife claims to support Wireworld but the rules are incorrect
211 2006-12-23.txt:11:50:53: * pgimeno considers taking a look at xlife's source to see if he can hack some true-Wireworld code
212 2006-12-23.txt:12:04:04: <pgimeno> in particular, xlife uses a Von Neumann neighbourhood
213 2006-12-23.txt:12:04:16: <pgimeno> xlife's implementation of Wireworld, I mean
214 2006-12-23.txt:12:10:02: <pgimeno> bah, xlife is too buggy
215 2006-12-24.txt:01:13:47: <ihope> Conway's Game of Life... now there's a real esoteric thingy.

219 2006-12-24.txt:01:50:59: <ihope> Life32 under Wine.
220 2006-12-24.txt:02:07:35: <ihope> This is what large Life patterns look like, then?
221 2006-12-27.txt:23:12:57: <oklopol> what do you life for then?
222 2006-12-29.txt:01:31:46: <oklopol> less sleep, longer life
223 2007-01-03.txt:21:20:19: <CakeProphet> If the language is designed for it's purposes... rather than implementing it as a bolt-on later in life... it'll be more well-suited for it.
224 2007-01-03.txt:21:21:45: <SimonRC> You know about the lifecycle of Lisp source code, right/
225 2007-01-11.txt:20:59:05: <ihope_> Average lifespan divided by world population...
226 2007-01-11.txt:21:01:56: <ihope_> Average lifespan seems to be 66 years.
227 2007-01-16.txt:01:42:54: <GregorR> It does seem kind of silly to make a timestamp with an end time that could actually be in your lifetime.
228 2007-01-16.txt:14:06:21: <andreou> well, R is for real, L is for life
229 2007-01-18.txt:01:58:00: <oklopol> i loved making 2D life simulator when i was little (with set vars, not code)
230 2007-01-18.txt:01:59:39: <CakeProphet> might as well... while we're at it... planning a big-ass game of life.
231 2007-01-21.txt:06:07:33: <CakeProphet> How's life?
232 2007-01-24.txt:03:14:46: <pikhq> The Game of Life and Wireworld are good examples.
233 2007-01-24.txt:03:15:35: <pikhq> (in both of them, a Turing-complete system has been designed. . . Life has a Turing machine, Wireworld has an OISC system (it's instruction is MOVE))
234 2007-01-24.txt:03:20:25: <CakeProphet> and hell, if something as rudementary as LIFE is Turing complete... I'd imagine OoU could be too.
235 2007-01-24.txt:23:46:24: <GregorR> In real life, yes.
236 2007-01-24.txt:23:48:50: <oklopol> in real life the guys make solutions based on what they see of course, so they woulnd't turn right back out if all urinals are taken either
237 2007-02-12.txt:01:20:22: <oerjan> there was this book i read about alien life that suggested maybe interstellar travel was _so_ awkward no civilization actually bothered to do it
238 2007-02-15.txt:14:20:10: <SimonRC> "No, everyone is born Christian. Only later in life do people choose to stray from Jesus and worship satan instead. Atheists have the greatest "cover" of all, they insist they believe in no god yet most polls done and the latest research indicates that they are actually a different sect of Muslims."
239 2007-02-16.txt:03:46:34: <oerjan> You haven't seen Life of Brian?
240 2007-02-16.txt:04:53:13: <oklopol> okoing is a way of life :)
241 2007-02-19.txt:01:34:49: <oklopol> well, i don't care about real life
242 2007-02-25.txt:01:32:02: <SimonRC> Problem: If you decide to be cryogenically preserved for 1000 years, future generations may not think you are worth keeping or restoring to life. Solution: Attach a sign saying "COBOL Programmer". This will ensure your safety.
243 2007-03-11.txt:05:07:56: <GreaseMonkey> afk, getting a life
244 2007-03-20.txt:18:21:34: <RodgerTheGreat> perhaps all that's necessary is using the life cycle of the trees for computation
245 2007-03-20.txt:18:22:41: <ais523> I'd like to see an apple-tree implementation of Life. It would be kind of appropriate.
246 2007-03-22.txt:11:56:27: <ais523> (For instance, ALPACA gives one of the simplest Life implementations around, and BF (not C89) is probably now the world's most portable language)
247 2007-03-22.txt:19:48:44: <SevenInchBread> >.> it's only strange if you've been using "math" for your whole life.
248 2007-03-26.txt:17:05:44: <Figs> sounds like Conway's Game of Life
249 2007-03-26.txt:17:06:07: <ais523> because Black has an instruction pointer, and Life doesn't
250 2007-03-27.txt:02:21:53: <oklopol> all my sentences will, from now on, have an implicit iirc, for the rest of my life.
251 2007-03-29.txt:19:23:12: <oklopol> i mean, will it terminate during my life time
252 2007-04-01.txt:04:29:07: <Figs> it makes life a lot easier
253 2007-04-05.txt:06:51:38: <Sukoshi> I who've been interested with such impractical things all my life. It feels weird to even me.
254 2007-04-05.txt:06:58:05: <RodgerTheGreat> there's nothing like spending 6 hours bringing life to a tiny machine only to have it stab you in the finger and then fall off the table.
255 2007-04-06.txt:06:43:35: <Sukoshi> I like languages which I don't have to devote my entire life to to code in.
256 2007-04-06.txt:06:45:13: <Figs> I haven't devoted my whole life to C++
257 2007-04-07.txt:03:24:00: <CakeProphet> ah... computer programming... making life easier for us all.
258 2007-04-07.txt:17:36:25: <Sukoshi> (Life.)
259 2007-04-10.txt:01:45:13: <ihope_> Once "Game of Life" hardware becomes common, you'll really want that constructor stuff.
260 2007-04-11.txt:02:54:42: <SevenInchBread> to.... proliferate the licence?
261 2007-04-12.txt:14:16:48: <Figs> Proof that I need a life:
262 2007-04-15.txt:00:50:01: <Figs> and I can't for the life of me figure out how the output came out as it did
263 2007-04-21.txt:01:08:43: <fax> lambda calculus has 3 cases to consider, brainfuck has 7 (if you ignore inputs) and life has 8 cases
264 2007-04-21.txt:01:20:21: <pikhq> Although I'd argue that as far as instruction set goes, Life is the simplest. :p
265 2007-04-21.txt:01:20:47: <pikhq> Life has 2 states.
266 2007-04-28.txt:20:57:24: <ihope> Unless we discover the universe to be based on Conway's Life, or something.
267 2007-04-28.txt:21:00:09: <ihope> You know, if the universe is based on Conway's Life, I want to introduce a stray glider! >:-)
268 2007-04-28.txt:21:03:43: <ihope> See, most research in Conway's Life is concerned with objects surrounded by dead cells.
269 2007-04-28.txt:21:09:30: <pikhq> ihope: gliders are used in as part of quite a few life patterns, though.
270 2007-04-30.txt:05:02:32: -!- freeindex has quit ("After life is eternal death. May this be the salvation of your soul.").
271 2007-05-04.txt:01:16:33: <ihope> bsmntbombdood: create a list containing every free instant of your life from now on. Infinite lists are fine.
272 2007-05-18.txt:02:45:36: <SimonRC> I recall all this from a breif mention of the advantages of LISP for exvolving computer programs in the book Artificial Life (a good book).
273 2007-05-23.txt:11:41:47: <fizzie> Quite the contrary: undefined operations add a little spice to the life.
274 2007-05-26.txt:00:39:15: <oklopol> plus given any X > 100 the program will easily take so many steps it will not terminate this lifetime, in pretty much any language
275 2007-05-26.txt:18:39:24: <SimonRC> # I'm going to rise and dawn // with no clothes on // and colours on my skin. // Colours of life and love // from heaven above // absolve me of my sin. #
276 2007-05-26.txt:22:11:30: <Pikhq> Called "life".
277 2007-05-26.txt:22:11:51: <bsmntbombdood> Pikhq: you can fly in life?
278 2007-05-26.txt:22:16:31: <oklopol> but they all require a change in lifestyle
279 2007-05-26.txt:22:22:11: <SimonRC> And, as in many ares of my life, the bits that I can recall are really just the ones I believed already.
280 2007-05-29.txt:23:15:23: <ehird`> oklopol: Apple, iLife, duh!!
281 2007-05-31.txt:20:28:06: <lament> not in our lifetime of course
282 2007-05-31.txt:20:50:19: <lament> it's "cyclic" in the same death as the "circle of life" is cyclic
283 2007-06-01.txt:02:25:34: <bsmntbombdood> "In one review of colorectal foreign bodies and their management, all patients were male and mostly in the fourth and fifth decades of life."
284 2007-06-01.txt:02:28:04: <GregorR-L> "mostly in the fourth and fifth decades of life"
285 2007-06-01.txt:04:39:33: <oerjan> i think a better "rational" behavior might be to maximise your expected total remaining life quality
286 2007-06-01.txt:05:11:16: <oklopol> if you think of death as infinitely bad, if someone asks you whether you want a bullet in your head or eternal life, you will pick a random choise.
287 2007-06-01.txt:05:11:33: <oklopol> because you might have a heart attack just before the eternal life.
288 2007-06-01.txt:05:28:59: <oerjan> so then eternal life would be the preferable choice.
289 2007-06-01.txt:17:03:11: <lament> a billion is enough to live the rest of your life without having to worry about money.
290 2007-06-02.txt:02:13:32: <SF|008> Ever heard of a proposed esoteric language called LifeScript?
291 2007-06-02.txt:02:16:18: <SF|008> http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/LifeScript
292 2007-06-02.txt:02:22:02: <SF|008> /!\ Google doesn't turn up anything related to programming for LifeScript.
293 2007-06-02.txt:03:54:55: <bsmntbombdood> i think i have eaten one cheeseburger in my life
294 2007-06-02.txt:07:31:04: <GreaseMonkey> and besides, if you're gonna cut your life short, you'll be doing nothing forevermore, which sucks more than life
295 2007-06-02.txt:07:35:07: <oerjan> that's one theory. i go by the theory that people who commit suicide get reincarnated into a new life with the exact same kind of problems they didn't resolve in the previous one.
296 2007-06-02.txt:07:37:24: <oerjan> but then everyone is so sure of things that everyone is probably going to be hugely surprised, assuming there is an afterlife at all
297 2007-06-06.txt:07:30:40: <GregorR-L> bsmntbombdood: I now have one hat for every year of my life :P
298 2007-06-06.txt:07:31:13: <fizzie> "The hats of my life", sounds like a book and/or a movie and/or a musical title.
299 2007-06-06.txt:07:36:59: <GregorR-L> I don't have enough to say about my life to blog X-P
