91 91) <Gregor> Well yeah, but furthermore unlike, oh, say, an Apple product, you don't have to sign their "we own your sperm" license agreement to GET that SDK and the requisite libraries. ... <Gregor> pikhq: Sure, but it's the only way Apple could get a first-born-son clause into a modern licensing agreement without infringing child or slave labor laws.

205 205) <oklopol> oerjan: also actually A(4, 4) is larger than any other integer, i learned this the other day when i was reading about this algo, it had complexity O(n a^-1(n)) = O(n a^-1(4))
206 206) <oklopol> hey speaking of young, some kinds asked me to buy some tobacco for them and i did, and then they were all likd "wow that guy's coool" when i told them i don't need their money
207 207) <oklopol> ah yes, indeed, alan turing was gay and stupid
208 208) <nddrylliog> are you always careful to have a small enough margin so that it can't contain the proof? <oklofok> nddrylliog: i usually use latex, and make sure my hd is almost full
209 209) [on Walter Bright] <nddrylliog> I went to chat with him after his talk at the ELC and he was like "hum, right - humans. How do they work again... oh, hi!"
210 210) <nddrylliog> Sgeo: re "hm?": at the emerging languages conf., after the talks we went out for a drinks and all the Factor team was on heavy liquor

218 218) <A. Gelman and G. Romero> We originally wrote this article in Word, but then we converted it to Latex to make it look more like science.
219 219) <Phantom_Hoover> This is good if you are a wheat plant but bad if you like eating wheat seeds.
220 220) <zzo38> ais523: Maybe it is better, because I don't think the octopus will live very well in the tree. But the difference is that the Internet is lying and you cannot see such things; you could make modified picture, though, in order to lie more clearly, at least.
221 221) <ais523> gah, why does lose keep winning?
222 222) <oerjan> (the former is a very deep theorem, i'd have had to read the whole book to understand it, so i didn't.)
223 223) <quintopia> who is guido van rossum <olsner> you could say he's a man who grew a beard but acquired none of the associated good properties
224 224) <olsner> actually, I think vorpal is the "retarded team member" to the left

228 228) <ineiros> HELLWORLD! <fizzie> It's like HELLO WORLD, except not *quite*. <ineiros> There is more agony.
229 229) <Deewiant> My STRN.G detects runoff strings that haven't been terminated but would hit a zero after wrapping and tries to allocate the 16+-gigabyte-stack required
230 230) <xplat> so you have legacy software in befunge that needs supported?
231 231) <oerjan> <Gregor> oerjan: Tell us what (a(b{c}d)*2e)%2 expands to <-- ababcdbcdedbabcdbcdede, i think <Gregor> oerjan: What - the - fuck
232 232) [on egojoust] <elliott> The fact is that EgoBot's % handling is O(slow) and O(big), and mine isn't.
233 233) <ais523> OK, I give up, logging into Wikia is harder than writing a Firefox extension

238 238) <zzo38> If you want to use TeX formats invented by Christians, use Plain TeX. However, I do not think the religion of its author is a good way to decide what to use. I decide to use Plain TeX for its own reasons.
239 239) <elliott> lol @ closed character set standard <elliott> "What does this codepoint represent?" "Nobody knows."
240 240) [on DNA Maze] <ais523> it requires more thought than Vorpal seems to be capable of
241 241) <nddrylliog> back to legal tender, that expression really makes me daydream. Like, there'd be black-market tender. Out-of-town hug shops where people exchange tenderness you've NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
242 242) <fizzie> Phantom_Hoover: I have just one tvtropes page open in elinks, but my tvtropes.txt "queue" has 38 tvtropes.org URLs waiting for processing.
243 243) <zzo38> Lymia: I put big spider in my bed already. So if you have no more left you do not have to worry about it anymore. You can just take a cold shower or hot acid or whatever you want to, instead.

248 248) <oklopol> actually the first joke i thought elliott was making was that he's so small masturbation is gay pedophilia
249 249) <zzo38> Why do you want to have sex in everything? I don't want.
250 250) <oklopol> okay see in my head it went, you send from your other number smth like "i'd certainly like to see you in those pink panties again" and she's like "WHAT?!? Sgeo took a pic?!?!?! that FUCKING PIG"
251 251) <Phantom__Hoover> Gregor, yeah, but Purdue has poultry science facilities beyond the dreams of avarice.
252 252) <zzo38> However is probably better to have both queen/king and government in case one does bad thing, the other side can argue to them
253 253) <treederwright> enjoy being locked in your matrix of solidity
254 254) <oklopol> shit would make great currency, because everyone would have it and you could literally be filthy rich
255 255) <fungot> elliott: there go my minutes of research!!
256 256) <tswett> There are white Africans out there, but, you know. A black swan in the hand does not imply causation.
257 257) <fungot> Phantom_Hoover: if the list is in random order, like poor ehird here
258 258) <Phantom_Hoover> elliott, incidentally, I started my explorations again after getting bored of the Himalayas.

261 261) <fungot> Phantom_Hoover: mutation is often considerably harder for both humans and compilers can analyze it much more difficult' part that induces bloody vomit... huh....intriguing
262 262) <fungot> oerjan: are you in an aware state when the only hammer you have is for variable assignation and blocks
263 263) <oklopol> quintopia: no i'm not laughing at you, i'm laughing because *you're stupid* <oklopol> i mean <oklopol> with you

277 277) [After a long monologue] <oklopol> i think i have to escape this heated discussion before it becomes a flamewar
278 278) <Gregor> That's for $literals in the parser. It should maybe be atol too, but probably you shouldn't have nonterminals with more than two billion children.
279 279) <zzo38> elliott: I doubt water memory can last for even one second in a gravitational field (or even outside of a gravitational field), but other people think they can make water memory with telephones.
280 280) <lament> elliott: well what i would do if i were omniscient and omnipotent would be to create an immortal woman with perfect tits and bang her for the rest of eternity
281 281) <Gregor> I use LiGNUXFCE+apps <Gregor> That's pronounced by saying "Linux" and then vomiting, btw.
282 282) <monqy> I've only watched bad movies about video game. I enjoyed every second of it.
283 283) <oklopol> and then there's the slightly annoying one where suddenly, i start rolling forward and i can't stop <oklopol> like i can be having some great sex dream or whatever and then suddenly "oh god not this again" <oklopol> (i go "not this again" but not necessarily realize it's a dream)
284 284) <Vorpal> elliott, it was an artful robbery! <Vorpal> wait, murder
285 285) <zzo38> I think I managed to make Stack Overflow work on gopher, now.
286 286) <oklopol> haha, god made one helluva blunder there :DS <oklopol> "WHOOPS HE AIN'T DEAD YET!" <oklopol> "luckily no one will believe him because christians are such annoying retards"
287 287) <elliott> A priori one cannot say that post hoc ergo propter hoc the diminishing returns would give; yet under quid pro quo one can agglutinate fabula and sujet into vagrancies untold. <elliott> See? I'm intellectual.
288 288) <Sgeo_> I think she either likes me, is neutral towards me, or dislikes me
289 289) <Phantom_Hoover> DON'T MOCK ME WITH YOUR ABILITY TO DIVIDE BY TEN
290 290) <Phantom_Hoover> Oh, Hitler! You and your wacky antics!

308 308) <zzo38> <elliott> <quintopia> i know it's unusual, but i agree with you both to some extent
309 309) <elliott> Nationalism is no more (probably less) logical than consumerism, after all, as stupid as the word "logical" is as a system to rank things
310 310) <Gregor> Write-only IRC: best idea <coppro> Gregor: we have that. It's called Twitter
311 311) <elliott> AV is better than first-past-the-post, like every voting system apart from the Random Elephant Stomping method

314 314) [on Sgeo's karaoke] <Phantom_Hoover> That is the thing that made me into a gay vampire.
315 315) <Phantom_Hoover> Yeah, I went through a whole series of existential crises when I was 8 or so.

317 317) <augur> oerjan you're swedish, right?
318 318) <monqy> my most fresh dream is one where I'm at a soup contest and a chicken really wants to participate but he's disqualified so he becomes the judge. when all the soups are done and he's ready to taste them he just stares at the soup and then I become the chicken and I really want to make soup

324 324) <ZOMGMODULES> I can trust elliott_ to have an opinion on anything and everything <elliott_> Yes. <elliott_> And the best thing is: it is the correct opinion.

328 328) <ZOMGMODULES> scripting language. whole program analysis. together at last
329 329) <zzo38> I figured out something about C program. If you use ? : a lot then you don't need as much parentheses but it makes it more difficult to understand.
330 330) <zzo38> Finally I found the wand of electric lightning now we can destroy any large object if it needs to be destroyed and is required to use a such a wand for that purpose.
331 331) <olsner> two quotes about quotes about django <olsner> I guess the worst part is that I appear in all three hackego quotes about django

333 333) <Vorpal> CakeProphet, the X support is fairly recent. Not more than a few decades old
334 334) <elliott> oerjan: but hypothetically, assume a Christian spontaneously materialised during the apocalypse
335 335) <pikhq_> And if they wanted to go for "true" security, they'd just do "Warning: your computer has not been turned into a plasma. This may cause some of your personal data to be stolen. Click here to turn your computer into a ball of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace."
336 336) <fizzie> [...] So it'll be a while before the boob will touch you back.
337 337) <fizzie> You make a fist, shake it at the sky, and shout "why, GNU, why?!" -- that is the standard reportig practice.
338 338) <Phantom_Hoover> The system I kind of have in mind makes a flying train a natural consequence.
339 339) <EgoBot> hey fhet's zeees OouooH SNEP IT'S A FOooCKING TIGER
340 340) <zzo38> Learn to be Chinese and kill yourself
341 341) <Sgeo> Hmm. I guess it's nearby GRBs that would be problematic? <Phantom_Hoover> Sgeo, if by 'problematic' you mean 'what's that in the AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH'.
342 342) <oklopol> yes i use the services of a psychic, but i'm considering getting a live one since stuff like "hello $name, your first name $first_name has |$first_name| letters, so by using numerology we can tell ..." is getting kind of boring
343 343) <zzo38> Fiddle. It makes a big difference, you know.
344 344) <oklopol> but touchscreens should feel like poking a boob
345 345) <oklopol> are there boobs you wack and squeeze around to move the mouse? [...] <oklopol> like those little nipples in laptop keyboards, but they'd be full-blown boobies
346 346) [after a long string of Lymia getting lambdabot to spit out huge, meaningless type signatures] <Lymia> I need to learn more Haskell... <CakeProphet> ..I need to get op privs.
347 347) <ais523> I think I managed something like a one-expression increment that was only a few hundred characters long
348 348) <monqy> Sgeo: also do you know how to write a parser <Sgeo> monqy, how hard could it be?
349 349) <Sgeo> I hope type inference isn't difficult
350 350) <Gregor> You have no idea how desperately I want to avoid being a GC guy :P <Gregor> Every year I go to ISMM and Doug Lea gives me a bizarrely-cheery "Hello!" and I'm like "awww shit I'm in memory management"
351 351) <oklopol> anyway i have to get going, first lecture at 9 and i need to do a few iterations on my article, and do some unmentionable things which also take hours <oklopol> and masturbate as well
352 352) <Phantom_Hoover> The eigenratio of reality has to be enormous, though.
353 353) <oklopol> so about jacuzzis, do they usually have a way to make it it not heat but freeze the water?
354 354) [on spiking] <CakeProphet> drugs are expensive. It would be a waste to use them on a random stranger.
355 355) <oklofok> what would you ever need petrol for <oklofok> newsflash: it doesn't actually taste that good
356 356) [on petrol] <ais523> oklofok: it's actually poisonous, so I advise against drinking it <Phantom_Hoover> ais523, also contains benzene, my carcinogen of choice.
357 357) <oklofok> "<pikhq> elliott: Americans also have 20 mile one-way commutes." <<< one-way commutes? you have like disposable jobs?

363 363) * perlmonkey is pursuing the line of reasoning that eating raw foods can improve cognitive function <Phantom_Hoover> perlmonkey, well, it certainly makes you think about what you'd rather be eating.
364 364) <Gregor> You just went from "no sexualized ads" to "we have ads for dildos, but they're different for ads for Orangina" X-D
365 365) <coppro> elliott: actually, it's worse right now, I'm in the USA <coppro> where the solution to counterfeiting problems is "add more ink" <coppro> eventually all US bills will just be solid green

367 367) <Phantom_Hoover> The wickedest man of all. <Phantom_Hoover> Surpassed only in wickedness by the wicked witches of the west and east. <copumpkin> you talking about me again? <Phantom_Hoover> Yes. <copumpkin> k

369 369) <Sgeo_> Something about faiing a asanity check <Sgeo_> sanity <Sgeo_> faliling <Sgeo_> failing
370 370) <zzo38> Sanity is insufficient by itself. Many other things are also important.
371 371) <olsner> as always in sweden everything goes to a fixed pattern: thursday is queueing at systembolaget to get beer and schnaps, friday is pickled herring, schnaps and dancing the frog dance around the phallos, saturday is dedicated to being hung over

379 379) <Phantom_Hoover> I go to clean up the shrapnel from a teabag and you're discussing the definition of god out of nowhere.
380 380) <d1ffe7e45e interpreter> The interpreter uses an unbounded tape size, but due to technical limitations will stop being unbounded if the tap size reaches 2^63 cells.
381 381) <Sgeo> Will anyone be irritated if I tend to disconnect and reconnect a lot? [...] <oerjan> we _almost_ have an established policy that bots will be banned it they do that. which means we might have to administer a turing test to sgeo, and that could get ugly.
382 382) <Phantom_Hoover> oerjan, little do you realise that everything you say and do is part of that great monad tutorial we call life.
383 383) <ais523> Phantom_Hoover: nope, I removed . from the current directory

392 392) <oklofok> mixing drinks together is like taking all of mozart's works and listening to all of them at once <oklofok> and in general a drink - and most foods - are kind like taking a song and then just taking the average of the notes and listening to it for three minutes. <oklofok> olsner: the point is you don't have to be the composer yourself <oklofok> not everyone knows what sequences of drinks taste the best
393 393) <oklofok> drinks should come in long long pipes that drip liquid at varying speeds, and you shouldn't just casually taste to them, you should really try to understand what the artist (the canposer?) was trying to convey when making the drink <oklofok> olsner: well you know i'm a genius. anyway i like how food works tho, because it has both the element of composing and choice, it's kind of like an rpg really
394 394) <Madk> #%%:]__t�# <Madk> do you see that <Madk> that is great progress taking place

397 397) <fizzie> elliott: You have become the very thing you fought for!
398 398) <fizzie> Deewiant: Well, I guess you could argue so. But to me a it's not a real clobbering if you can still tell there was something that got clobbered.
399 399) <Taneb> Turned out he got recursion, he just didn't get the return statement
400 400) <SgeoN1> No nasty sounds for a while now. Going to turn off and on and see if the numbers get worse.

402 402) <augur> ive been in #haskell and #agda primarily, recently <Phantom_Hoover> So is #agda now full of dependently-typed gay sex?
403 403) <oklopol> you know that thing in the movies where they put a pillow on someone's face and try to suffocate them <oklopol> that doesn't work. <oklopol> we tried that with my ex once, but we just couldn't kill each other that way

408 408) <NihilistDandy> MY CONTINUITY <NihilistDandy> MY FANFICTION <NihilistDandy> RUINED
409 409) <itidus20> to assume that someone can be described by a rule without exception... is to assume they are omnipotent <oklopol> for instance stones are omnipotent, as they don't do anything, without exception

412 412) <fizzie> There's that saying that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. [...] <Taneb> You've just gave me a different result [...] <fizzie> It's always insane to expect different results, even when it's likely to occur.
413 413) <Taneb> Someone with that sort of grasp of logic shouldn't be allowed anything more computationally powerful than a plastic spoon
414 414) <oklopol> interestingly enough, go is a second player win <oklopol> chess is also first player win <oklopol> tennis, interestingly enough, is always a draw.
415 415) <Taneb> Look, I often walk my dog through a field with cows in it. And I punched myself in the face once.
416 416) <Sgeo> I'm having nostalgia for when we could see the glass from the floor

419 419) <elliott> God, I sure do hate Apple and their header files that only include the functions they're specified to.
420 420) <elliott> Do one better! Pretend to be an idiot until YOU DIE.
421 421) <Taneb> So... God has jizzed on everything? <oklopol> have you even READ the bible?
422 422) <elliott_> Vorpal: Won't be slower than Python ;-) <Vorpal> elliott_, yeah but that is like saying a T-Ford going down a hill won't be slower than a bicycle uphill on a bumpy road :P
423 423) <Taneb> This staircase is very good for correcting people's opininons about communism
424 424) <monqy> rest in peace lambdabot???? <ais523> monqy: it'll probably be back later <monqy> nap in peace

431 431) <monqy> itidus20: i saw a dancing cgi skeleton named malaria. i danced and played with him.
432 432) <itidus20> It's ok guys. I am doing what I can to keep my psyche and ego surviving. All the while the threat of ww3 looms, the mortality of family and friends(loved ones?) and sooner or llater my own mortality.
433 433) <NihilistDandy> Capitalism is a cancer. But I'm a smoker, anyway, so...
434 434) <itidus20> Game theory is not a perfect tool for analyzing video games. <itidus20> Nash failed to create a "video game theory"

454 454) <Phantom_Hoover> OK, Taneb's been taken by a mood and he needs raw emeralds. <Phantom_Hoover> It's been fun knowing him.
455 455) <Phantom_Hoover> Taneb's been hit by melancholy. <Phantom_Hoover> He didn't have any friends, fortunatel.y
456 456) <Phantom_Hoover> Oh god. <Phantom_Hoover> I've become a metallurgy hipster.
457 457) <Phantom_Hoover> You realise the micromanagement it took to make quintopia encrust my silver throne with emeralds rather than a jug?
458 458) <NihilistDandy> Having only been Catholic in the sense of being baptized that way, I still really like all their silly arcana <NihilistDandy> Judaism has them beat, of course <NihilistDandy> I almost converted just so I could look at my roommate's books
459 459) <ais523> it's probably the same people who were trying to organise gangs of shoplifters as some sort of complex protest against the government's economic policy
460 460) <itidus20> anyway, notational systems are a function of the euclidean plane
461 461) <ais523> oerjan: I'm not imaginative enough to write truly great slash fiction
462 462) <oerjan> sllide: @ is an OS made out of only the finest vapour

464 464) <monqy> the classic "souls have mass" hypothesis

466 466) <Patashu> it's the pain of the gaps argument <Patashu> no matter how good your robot is at feeling pain <Patashu> it's never close enough
467 467) <zzo38> Pythagoras was running away and he reached a field of beans, but he didn't want to step on them so he let those guys chasing him to kill him instead.
468 468) <elliott> What does "life" actually mean, anyway; it seems to mean "this thing that's infinitely greater than all my actual hobbies that I do all the time because I rule"
469 469) <itidus20> well, you have bested me <zzo38> itidus20: Yes.
470 470) <itidus20> now theodore seuss is dead... so screw him

473 473) <itidus20> like i could ask how many "petals" are there on each of the "flowers" on this coffee mug i just made a drink with <itidus20> but that would be NP hard I think

475 475) <elliott> I MIGHT BECOME GHOST
476 476) <Phantom_Hoover> I gave her the Noblesse Oblige rooms. <Phantom_Hoover> She was happy with them even when they were behind 2 locked doors and a floodgate and full of water.
477 477) <Phantom_Hoover> On further reflection, I think I did manage to miss winter and spring altogether. <Phantom_Hoover> This does explain the goblin siege I had in autumn.
478 478) <Phantom_Hoover> A possessed soapmaker: the most ridiculous thing? <Phantom_Hoover> OH YES YOU JUST HAD TO CLAIM THE WORKSHOP I SET ASIDE FOR STRAND EXTRACTION YOU BASTARD <Phantom_Hoover> I SWEAR IF ANY OF THAT ADAMANTINE GOES MISSING YOU'RE GETTING SOME HIGH-QUALITY ROOMS
479 479) <ais523> (Enigma is two games; one is solving Enigma puzzles, the other is working out how to represent things as Enigma puzzles, preferably with the minimal amount of lua and player-hidden information possible)
480 480) <itidus20> that shit adds up. have you ever dropped a math problem in the toilet and got an answer back? yeah... it adds up
481 481) <elliott_> I hope in the future people curse me for creating such a shitty protocol.
482 482) <Taneb> Maybe if you try diplomacy. <Taneb> Pointy steel diplomacy
483 483) <oklopol> i started running and smoking <oklopol> i love my lungs the way they are so trying to balance them out
484 484) <Phantom_Hoover> I didn't realise nickel apparently can't be shaped into a screw because of some fundamental feature of dwarven physics.
485 485) <evincar> elliott_: I don't see a difference between a function taking a function as an argument, and some composition of those functions.
486 486) <monqy> this reminds me of a time where this guy made up a pretend language that was in his fantasy world and then roleplayed as someone from his fantasy world who used the language and then tried to talk to me about the language
487 487) <Taneb> I think it's fizzie against everyone atm <Taneb> AND EVERYONE IS WINNING <Taneb> EXCEPT FIZZIE

489 489) <fizzie> That's the stupidest thing I've heard all morning. (Though I did wake up five minutes ago, so I haven't had a chance to hear very much.) <fizzie> The "Why are you still asleep? I told the cat to wake you up." comment does come pretty close, though.
490 490) <monqy> mmm these music samples are still so tasteful
491 491) <monqy> im sampling ultra hip holiday <monqy> hes the boogie woogie santa clause <monqy> switching to oktoberfest <monqy> yes i would love to shop to this

495 495) <Vorpal> ais523, how can TAEB take too long? It is turn based. As long as it isn't taking like several minutes per move it is acceptable! <ais523> Vorpal: it gets boring waiting for it
496 496) <fungot> elliott__: my fnord into normal life was a painful and difficult process. [...]
497 497) <fizzie> They're (according to current plans/rumours) going to release a grand total of approximately 1.1 MeeGo devices; the N9, plus the N950 "developers only" phone, which I'm counting as 0.1 because (even though it is a MeeGo device) it's not going to actually be released.
498 498) <monqy> game where you flip a coin but it's really really big
499 499) <NihilistDandy> Also Perl, but I don't really consider that a programming language so much as a really heavy implementatino of awk
500 500) <elliott> we need more films aimed at the lucrative irc nerd demographic
501 501) <Phantom_Hoover> I keep asking random people for "friendship <thing>" and it's crippling
502 502) <zzo38> I think Perl is a programming language too. [...]
503 503) <elliott> Deewiant: How do you go through life without seeing at least one gaping anus, that's what I want to know
504 504) <Sgeo> Maybe I should try to learn Scala instead of Ruby <elliott> I will boil your veins. <Sgeo> Which is less bad? <elliott> Probably Scala, but I don't want you learning languages.
505 505) <fizzie> I tend to debase64 with perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print decode_base64("...");', because at least PERL stands for "PERL ein't-no ruddy-poo lol-GNU".
506 506) <Phantom_Hoover> FFS, building a perpetual motion machine should not be this hard.
507 507) <Phantom_Hoover> Intake flooded with magma. <Phantom_Hoover> Reactor connected. <Phantom_Hoover> Pumps active. <Phantom_Hoover> YES IT'S WORKING
508 508) <fizzie> "Do a sea monster while whatever."
509 509) <Patashu> But I mean, why fix it if it ain't broke? Except now it is
510 510) <Phantom_Hoover> The fact that the elves will be happy with this will hopefully be counteracted by the fact that I plan to drop them into the magma cistern.
511 511) <Phantom_Hoover> I'm sacrificing the animals, then I'm going to bed.
512 512) <Phantom_Hoover> Yeah, Bashir, just sit there drinking, rather than diagnosing the carpenter mauled in that tragic bonobo accident.
513 513) <CakeProphet> monqy: help how do I use lambdabot to send messages to people. [...around half an hour later...] <CakeProphet> @messages <lambdabot> quicksilver said 1y 2m 18d 19h 54m 29s ago: you use @tell
514 514) <oerjan> theorem prover yada yada halting problem.

517 517) <elliott_> now that we've cleared that up let us hug fungot = <fungot> elliott_: let's not start that again."
518 518) <Phantom_Hoover> You mean it'd be Tau Zero but without the spaceship?
519 519) <Phantom_Hoover> OK, making myself emergency doctor on the advice of IRC.
520 520) <elliott> help me i am so alone :( <monqy> new computer good enough to simulate real parents
521 521) <fungot> elliott: ppl should vote clinton because obama is biracial every1 knows that dood, look at him he has been on something lately.
522 522) <itidus20> indirect addressing is a facile and inebrious kind of instruction which should be whomped away by languages
523 523) <fungot> elliott: mr president, commissioner, i fully accept that description when it comes to human rights. yes, with an average fat content of chocolate, and we are using double standards! we all know that under present legislation and also in relation to standardization bodies. if i do not want.
524 524) <fizzie> Isn't "strip nomic" just another word for all dating, though?
525 525) <ais523> this strikes me as probably better than a singularity, because you can't trust a random AI, but you can probably trust olsner
526 526) <Phantom_Hoover> It is like the Holocaust but with Nazis.
527 527) <ais523> oh no, I think we've managed to mix three metaphors in a way that actually makes sense
528 528) <Patashu> dangit I need someone who knows the answers to my problems instantly and is always around for me! <Patashu> I need.....an adult ;_;

533 533) <monqy> one time I tried cpp programming ​ <monqy> it was hellish ​ <monqy> maybe I should try again
534 534) <fungot> CakeProphet: mr president, in the best egyptian judicial traditions has now been put off to friday. but i want my money back'. we know it generally deals with major infrastructure projects which could form part of the emergency package for korea, on christmas eve, in the interests of consumers and the environment of gmos.
535 535) <oklopol> king is something women are better at than men
536 536) <Taneb> Just goes to show, the Beatles are more interesting than green vegetables.
537 537) <elliott> Vorpal: who needs cars when you can walk to latvia
538 538) [from 2009] <fizzie> That's confusing. I have been indoctrinated to believe W|A, but on the other hand it's hard to unbelieve a book with such a ridiculously impressive name as "Handbook of physical testing of paper, Volume 2".
539 539) <monqy> in the past few minutes I tried remembering what my dream last night was, but instead remembered I didn't sleep
540 540) <itidus20> what is nice about a pebble is that you can process it with your brain as a number by simply looking at it
541 541) <Taneb> I think this has taught us one thing. We can't teach itidus20 lambda calculus by comittee
542 542) <Sgeo> Can you build the ... why wouldn't you be able to, just and all the computables
543 543) <shachaf> elliott: GHC bug? Come on, it's the parentheses. <shachaf> The more parentheses you add, the closer it is to LISP, and therefore the more dynamically-typed.
544 544) <Gregor> You know how the arrow pierces your skin, rearranging and randomizing vital internal structure? <Gregor> Monads are like that, only worse.
545 545) <Taneb> Mayor says we need to make aluminum items <Phantom_Hoover> Taneb, PH says you need to make lava items.
546 546) <elliott> Dear god stop staring at me. <monqy> no never <Phantom_Hoover> monqy is always staring at everyone. <monqy> it takes many eyes to do this but I manage <Phantom_Hoover> He is an inspiration to us all.
547 547) <elliott> Second Life is like... real life, modelled by people who've READ about real life, you know, in books.
548 548) <fizzie> One reasonable approach for the image->color case could be to take the mean (possibly in the RGB space, it doesn't have the hue discontinuity problem) of the most likely Gaussian distribution to have yielded the image pixels, considering each pixel as an independent sample. <fizzie> Wait, that'd just be the mean. Never mind.
549 549) <Gregor> Hulu's movie selection is like MST3K without the MST3K characters.
550 550) <Gregor> Let us discuss the correct procedure for converting LP -> FLAC <fizzie> The correct procedure is: you put the LP into a flatbed scanner, scan it as a Windows .bmp file, and then rename that file to .flac.
551 551) <tswett> Come to think of it, I've praised you a little too effusively. I'm not *that* pleased. If you'll permit me to compensate slightly... <tswett> elliott: fuck you. <tswett> There. Perfect. Carry on.
552 552) <myndzi> lol :(
553 553) <Gregor> But whereas the Zune UI makes one think "I want to kill myself", the Windows CE UI makes one think "I want to kill myself, but first kill my parents as punishment for bringing into this world someone who would one day own a Windows CE device."
554 554) <hagb4rd> jesus, yes.. he was human <hagb4rd> and that is fantastic <hagb4rd> more than beeing able to speak with fish.. like seaman does
555 555) <Phantom_Hoover> I mean, any organisation called the Scottish Defence League should be beating up English people, what other point would there be?
556 556) <ais523> if all my Facebook friends were to visit a page, it wouldn't make any difference at all
557 557) <Phantom_Hoover> OMG <Phantom_Hoover> What if <Phantom_Hoover> we shoot Hitler with neutrinos
558 558) <Phantom_Hoover> It's like Pygmalion and Galatea but more weeaboo. <Phantom_Hoover> Also lesbian.
559 559) <monqy> did you know: gravity was inspired by apples
560 560) <ais523> isn't a neutrino detector just a large vat of washing-up liquid with a bit of machinery attached?
561 561) <fungot> fizzie: it doesn't *use* raw cgi. to my deep fnord i'm only fnord of the job description. it's badly fnord also.
562 562) <fizzie> It's just electricity, how dangerous could it be?
563 563) <fungot> sadhu: it's been said that boole is the crowning jewel perched precariously upon the perfect peak of programmer prowess, casting its limitless limpid light over the loathesome lands of those who scuff and wallow in the dreary dust of digital depravity and unbounded wilful ignorance of the testament of our lord jesus christ into your life.
564 564) <ais523> elliott: so what are the two issues with xfce? <elliott> they're very unlikely to fuck up Xfce, and it can be made to work basically exactly like gnome two

567 567) <fizzie> I prefer the N64 controller, it's the only one that has place for my third hand.

571 571) <oklopol> but i guess (x + y)^n = (x^2 + 2xy + y^2)(x^2 + 2xy + y^2)...(x^2 + 2xy + y^2) if n is even, (x + y)^n = (x^2 + 2xy + y^2)(x^2 + 2xy + y^2)...(x^2 + 2xy + y^2)(x + y) is as good a fundamental theorem as any
572 572) <oklopol> so you are doing for compilers what imperative programming did for functional programming
573 573) <fizzie> Spacegoat is the network-operations-optimized-for-latency-of-minutes-or-hours-due-to-light-speed-limits variant of scapegoat, to be used when you need to check out some code from the Mars colony. <fizzie> (I'm pretty sure we'll have established a Mars colony by the time scapegoat rolls out.)

594 594) <fizzie> If you jump a car from a ramp and hit the wall of a building, in midair, you tend to get ejected up and fly to the sky-ceiling, then slowly slide at that height to one corner of the world; then you land, make a complicated spinning-around thing for a while, and then explode. <fizzie> Also probably works in real life?

616 616) <ais523> Just about all females often feel that exactly why all Hollywood stars common maintain its brightness as Tom in spite of frantic operate routine and large operate pressure from the skin. What do you think that they have got sufficient time to observe all attractiveness strategies and tips that his grandmother utilized to abide by?
617 617) <Phantom__Hoover> (I'm not really sure what that explains but nor am I sure what I'm explaining, so it cancels out.)
