| 1 2007-11-02.txt:03:08:35: <oerjan> i've seen cpressey do some wiki posting | |
| 2 2007-11-02.txt:03:09:28: <oerjan> oh dear. cpressey, RUN! | |
| 3 2007-11-02.txt:03:43:16: <oerjan> cpressey: no, you need the ability to change infinitely many steps, which means there needs to be Swaps referring to them. | |
| 4 2008-01-08.txt:01:19:46: <oerjan> cpressey's webpage moves so often it could need one... :D | |
| 5 2008-02-04.txt:19:19:32: <oerjan> ais523: do you know if there is a way to make a template or something for catseye URLs so we don't have to change them all on the wiki every time cpressey moves around? | |
| 6 2008-02-04.txt:19:42:47: <oerjan> might even be some wayback links hiding in there, unless cpressey fixed it all | |
| 7 2009-06-12.txt:05:54:16: * oerjan swats the fake cpressey -----### | |
| 8 2010-01-15.txt:23:59:00: <oerjan> cpressey: long time no see | |
| 9 2010-01-16.txt:00:03:06: <oerjan> wtf i'm lagged, the logs show cpressey leaving before my greeting... | |
| 10 2010-01-16.txt:00:07:02: <ehird> [23:58] <oerjan> cpressey: long time no see | |
| 11 2010-01-19.txt:20:01:49: <oerjan> <cpressey> Actually, I advocate outlawing all medicine. (Seriously. A black market would probably work better than the current system.) | |
| 12 2010-01-19.txt:20:24:38: <AnMaster> oerjan, was it <cpressey> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjMYQyhjiYA ? | |
| 13 2010-01-20.txt:16:54:10: <oerjan> cpressey: but if it's while, can't you skip it? | |
| 14 2010-01-20.txt:16:57:52: <oerjan> cpressey: um that was a pun, referring to your "next little while" | |
| 15 2010-01-28.txt:19:04:42: <oerjan> cpressey: no | |
| 16 2010-02-02.txt:21:46:46: <oerjan> cpressey: you'll have to cleanse it in holy water, i hear jews do that | |
| 17 2010-02-04.txt:00:29:40: <oerjan> no idea. and cpressey just left. | |
| 18 2010-02-08.txt:15:39:18: * oerjan swats cpressey for having him google to find out the meaning of his own pun -----### | |
| 19 2010-02-08.txt:23:01:22: <oerjan> <cpressey> AnMaster: ha! Well, let's just say Perl is such an exceptional language, it's an outlier, and thus disregarded. | |
| 20 2010-02-08.txt:23:04:07: <oerjan> <cpressey> I am eternally tempted to design a "real" language which "gets everything right". It's a bad temptation. It's better to stick to these weird little languages that intentionally get things "wrong"... | |
| 21 2010-02-09.txt:23:26:09: <oerjan> <cpressey> ais523: Then what would you call the property "I can map any Turing-machine to a (meaningfully different) program in this language"? | |
| 22 2010-02-09.txt:23:30:14: <oerjan> cpressey: um in that case i don't know what you mean | |
| 23 2010-02-09.txt:23:36:33: <oerjan> cpressey: ignore pikhq | |
| 24 2010-02-09.txt:23:39:38: <oerjan> cpressey: i think so | |
| 25 2010-02-09.txt:23:46:35: <oerjan> cpressey: i was just presenting LC as an example of a TC concept without input | |
| 26 2010-02-09.txt:23:48:36: <oerjan> cpressey: ah but L takes an input: a program + that program's input | |
| 27 2010-02-09.txt:23:51:33: <oerjan> cpressey: that's just because TMs are imperative with mutability. in fact for certain purposes (e.g. space use analysis) it is common to give the TM its initial input on a separate, read-only tape | |
| 28 2010-02-09.txt:23:55:26: <oerjan> cpressey: that TMs can overwrite things - this is irrelevant to what they can _compute_ | |
| 29 2010-02-10.txt:00:01:04: <oerjan> cpressey: to be honest i don't know that i've ever seen a clear and unambiguous definition of turing-completeness once you go beyond languages of strings. the wikipedia article is certainly not one. | |
| 30 2010-02-10.txt:00:02:56: <oerjan> pikhq: but that sentence completely ignores the very I/O question which in my view is the reason for the confusing discussion i and cpressey are now having | |
| 31 2010-02-10.txt:00:04:43: <oerjan> cpressey: the thing is that most things you are reducing, such as NP-complete problems, don't have a program part. you are reducing input to input | |
| 32 2010-02-10.txt:00:07:46: <oerjan> cpressey: and the RE theory simplifies everything to the bone by only using sets of _integers_ | |
| 33 2010-02-10.txt:00:08:03: <cpressey> oerjan: <cpressey> ais523: Then what would you call the property "I can map any Turing-machine to a (meaningfully different) program in this language"? | |
| 34 2010-02-10.txt:00:09:46: <oerjan> cpressey: well it's critical for quines, which is where my first comment took inspiration. but ok, as long as program and input are encoded separately it doesn't matter for this discussion. | |
| 35 2010-02-10.txt:00:10:47: <oerjan> cpressey: ah i just remembered. look at the wiki's Narcissist page. | |
| 36 2010-02-10.txt:00:12:26: <oerjan> cpressey: and then i can ask you, is your property essential for the _existence_ of narcissists, like the "output-complete" idea is for the existence of quines? | |
| 37 2010-02-18.txt:18:09:28: <oerjan> cpressey: also, e is intuitively additive 0, while bottom is intuitively multiplicative 0 | |
| 38 2010-02-18.txt:18:42:48: <oerjan> cpressey: "zero" | |
| 39 2010-02-18.txt:18:45:25: <oerjan> cpressey: also, if two programs x and y never halt, then x = xy = y | |
| 40 2010-02-18.txt:18:58:54: <oerjan> cpressey: you could think of 0 more as "never gives a result", in which case looping forever may not be mandatory | |
| 41 2010-02-18.txt:19:01:09: <oerjan> cpressey: what you might want then, is for results to form a group | |
| 42 2010-02-18.txt:19:44:56: <oerjan> cpressey: that won't distribute (a + b) * c properly unless c is linear | |
| 43 2010-02-19.txt:05:27:34: <oerjan> <AnMaster> <cpressey> "Execution of instructions in one program induces execution of instructions in another, nearby program." Yes. <-- I first thought "what are you messing around with by doing induction over an uncountable set" | |
| 44 2010-02-19.txt:15:03:11: <oerjan> 21:27:34 <oerjan> <AnMaster> <cpressey> "Execution of instructions in one program induces execution of instructions in another, nearby program." Yes. <-- I first thought "what are you messing around with by doing induction over an uncountable set" | |
| 45 2010-02-20.txt:15:19:24: <oerjan> alise: well yes in fact i think cpressey may done that already | |
| 46 2010-02-22.txt:20:10:51: <oerjan> <AnMaster> cpressey, btw, how is the pen colour and paper colour supposed to work for real turtle bots? | |
| 47 2010-02-23.txt:18:04:00: <oerjan> cpressey: in _principle_ you could track exact algebraic expressions :D | |
| 48 2010-02-23.txt:18:07:54: <oerjan> cpressey: that's what i assumed you meant | |
| 49 2010-02-24.txt:01:38:30: <oerjan> cpressey (the inventor) has recently started coming here again | |
| 50 2010-02-24.txt:21:51:05: <oerjan> 08:29:21 <AnMaster> cpressey, what about the one of ick? | |
| 51 2010-02-26.txt:21:08:30: <oerjan> cpressey: no no, it will be a bottle with a message inside | |
| 52 2010-02-26.txt:23:13:38: <oerjan> cpressey: it is hard to determine that, because the law is metacircularly self-applying | |
| 53 2010-03-01.txt:23:02:28: <oerjan> cpressey: even ghc cannot do it without you having loaded the modules defining the type instances, i think. | |
| 54 2010-03-01.txt:23:04:14: <oerjan> cpressey: in addition to the standard Int and Integer, the Int* and Word* types from Data.Int and Data.Word | |
| 55 2010-03-01.txt:23:07:49: <oerjan> cpressey: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Prelude.html has a sizable list a way down | |
| 56 2010-03-03.txt:23:44:53: <oerjan> cpressey: that wouldn't be auto- would it. | |
| 57 2010-03-04.txt:00:41:04: <oerjan> cpressey: i think if something like wolfram's theory that the universe is generated by a small program is true, then we might eventually find it (or an equivalent program), although we would never be able to prove that it was completely accurate | |
| 58 2010-03-04.txt:00:44:19: <oerjan> cpressey: that seems to lack a certain necessary complexity | |
| 59 2010-03-08.txt:18:25:46: <oerjan> cpressey: you might want it to use the first two _lines_ output | |
| 60 2010-03-09.txt:16:19:39: * oerjan beats cpressey with the saucepan of doom ===\__/ | |
| 61 2010-03-09.txt:16:23:05: <oerjan> cpressey: clearly then addition is demonic | |
| 62 2010-03-09.txt:17:44:07: <oerjan> cpressey: the poker sense | |
| 63 2010-03-09.txt:22:45:28: <oerjan> cpressey: you're quite limber, i take | |
| 64 2010-03-10.txt:16:35:31: <oerjan> cpressey: they're equivalent by my argument, in intuitionistic logic | |
| 65 2010-03-10.txt:16:40:28: <oerjan> cpressey: @x = x is not inconsistent if @ has nothing to do with "not" | |
| 66 2010-03-10.txt:16:41:39: <oerjan> cpressey: and by nothing to do with "not", i mean that you throw away all the other axioms of ! | |
| 67 2010-03-10.txt:16:42:18: <oerjan> fax: i don't think cpressey knows yet :D | |
| 68 2010-03-10.txt:16:42:50: <oerjan> cpressey: if you have just @x = x, you cannot prove x = y for all x and y | |
| 69 2010-03-10.txt:16:45:11: <oerjan> cpressey: for example say that @x has the meaning !!x | |
| 70 2010-03-10.txt:17:00:24: <oerjan> cpressey: if there is only one value, then @x = x is obviously true | |
| 71 2010-03-10.txt:17:07:04: <oerjan> cpressey: also it is not a requirement of logics to be defined by reductions or have normal forms... | |
| 72 2010-03-12.txt:22:59:44: <oerjan> cpressey: have you looked at eodermdrome? | |
| 73 2010-03-12.txt:23:03:34: <oerjan> cpressey: if you don't _want_ your language to be that hard to run, you could probably select instruction graphs that were somewhat easier to recognize | |
| 74 2010-03-27.txt:22:30:57: <oerjan> hm wait cpressey has burrito, maybe he has an enchilada too | |
| 75 2010-04-05.txt:00:07:41: <oerjan> otherwise, cpressey already tried that. (burro, was it?) | |
| 76 2010-04-05.txt:00:07:47: <ehirdiphone> oerjan: hey, cpressey managed it but hs inverses weren't thr same | |
| 77 2010-06-07.txt:21:29:20: <oerjan> hi cpressey | |
| 78 2010-06-08.txt:22:20:15: <oerjan> * cpressey wonders where fax is these days <-- i banned her a while ago, after she went completely ballistic. | |
| 79 2010-06-08.txt:22:27:47: <oerjan> cpressey is no ghost. afaik. | |
| 80 2010-06-09.txt:14:48:59: <oerjan> yo cpressey | |
| 81 2010-06-12.txt:00:02:09: <oerjan> 09:06:02 * cpressey bans himself | |
| 82 2010-06-12.txt:00:02:09: <oerjan> 09:06:11 <ais523> cpressey: bad puns are oerjan's job! | |
| 83 2010-06-15.txt:15:30:39: <oerjan> cpressey: i agree that your goldbach language needs work - for one thing it's not hard to find arbitrary large even numbers that are sums of two odd primes | |
| 84 2010-06-16.txt:15:20:58: <oerjan> waga: cpressey is famous here | |
| 85 2010-06-17.txt:16:41:15: <oerjan> cpressey: you probably need big ints to actually _use_ most of those unbounded string parts, don't you? | |
| 86 2010-06-17.txt:16:42:40: <oerjan> cpressey: hm right, assuming right$(X,6) is everything from index 6 until the end? | |
| 87 2010-06-17.txt:16:43:23: <oerjan> cpressey: um that's not enough for a cyclic tag system then | |
| 88 2010-06-17.txt:16:45:55: <oerjan> cpressey: i was just wondering if MID$ took until the end of the string if you dropped the last argument | |
| 89 2010-06-17.txt:21:08:55: <oerjan> cpressey: i recall n was originally 16 in 8088 | |
| 90 2010-06-18.txt:18:28:23: <oerjan> cpressey: i don't think EgoBot has python, no. | |
| 91 2010-06-18.txt:19:37:52: <oerjan> cpressey: wait, i vaguely thought i'd seen alex2012 before. which means i might _vaguely_ bet. | |
| 92 2010-06-18.txt:19:59:27: <oerjan> `addquote * Phantom_Hoover wonders where the size of the compiled Linux kernel comes from. <cpressey> To comply with the GFDL, there's a copy of Wikipedia in there. | |
| 93 2010-06-21.txt:22:26:00: <oerjan> cpressey: well it's all diagonalization | |
| 94 2010-06-22.txt:19:51:41: <oerjan> cpressey: oh | |
| 95 2010-06-22.txt:20:55:20: <oerjan> and if cpressey then gets fired it isn't his fault | |
| 96 2010-06-23.txt:22:41:34: <oerjan> cpressey: you seem to be having a nick identity crisis? | |
| 97 2010-06-25.txt:18:15:22: <oerjan> cpressey: i see Chan as an unGetChan function which you could presumably use to put the value back if the case doesn't match | |
| 98 2010-06-28.txt:23:38:40: <oerjan> however, my idea here was that the reverse should be capable of doing what cpressey asked | |
| 99 2010-06-28.txt:23:43:38: <oerjan> cpressey: i note that http://unicode-search.net/unicode-namesearch.pl?term=gamma&.submit=Send+foresp%C3%B8rsel&subs=1&print=1 gives a whole slew of hits for "gamma" | |
| 100 2010-06-28.txt:23:45:03: <oerjan> cpressey: well it means there's a lot to extract | |
| 101 2010-06-28.txt:23:47:09: <oerjan> cpressey: however note that there are already _two_ common hits there, capital and small | |
| 102 2010-06-29.txt:21:06:49: <oerjan> cpressey: no. | |
| 103 2010-06-29.txt:21:16:54: <oerjan> cpressey: well anyway AND doesn't require any, so the points where you apply NOT are sort of the important ones? (this is very vague memory) | |
| 104 2010-06-29.txt:21:27:29: <oerjan> cpressey: circuit complexity is cool :) | |
| 105 2010-06-29.txt:21:55:52: <oerjan> cpressey: actually that gives a simple solution, just let the language consist of strings of the form RE_1,RE_2 where RE_1 RE_2 are/alternatively aren't representing the same language | |
| 106 2010-07-07.txt:23:05:01: <oerjan> 07:30:43 <cpressey> <ais523> also amusing: Haskell has the same LR(infinity) parsing issues as INTERCAL | |
| 107 2010-07-07.txt:23:05:04: <oerjan> 07:30:46 <cpressey> That's just sad. | |
| 108 2010-07-08.txt:23:01:57: <oerjan> <cpressey> aliseiphone: I'm trying to unify scanning, parsing, and immediate and deferred execution into a single, coherent, ugly framework. | |
| 109 2010-07-08.txt:23:06:52: <oerjan> cpressey: well that's the little i think i understand of it, anyway. | |
| 110 2010-07-08.txt:23:18:28: <oerjan> cpressey: the problem is that once you've observed the pun, it's not quantum anymore | |
| 111 2010-07-12.txt:23:35:30: <oerjan> <cpressey> Er, right. A newtype is a, what word would work better - "synonym"? It has the same structure but has a distinct identity. | |
| 112 2010-07-12.txt:23:36:37: <oerjan> cpressey: a newtype is sometimes called a "wrapper" | |
| 113 2010-07-12.txt:23:55:00: <oerjan> <AnMaster> cpressey, that it is a special form, well or syntax. Is "let" a special form in haskell? I guess it is. | |
| 114 2010-07-15.txt:23:50:17: <oerjan> CakeProphet: that's essentially the "ending in * 0 chain" cpressey was mentioning | |
| 115 2010-07-16.txt:00:17:47: <oerjan> cpressey: um i'm pretty sure "heathen" must be a calque on "pagan"... | |
| 116 2010-07-20.txt:18:36:39: <oerjan> cpressey: sure | |
| 117 2010-07-20.txt:18:51:31: <oerjan> cpressey: ok | |
| 118 2010-07-20.txt:19:43:17: <oerjan> cpressey: not only did they do so, but you invented narcissists because of it | |
| 119 2010-07-20.txt:22:54:09: <oerjan> cpressey: now you have even more reason to learn underload *evil cackle* | |
| 120 2010-07-21.txt:20:24:51: <oerjan> CakeProphet: you can't see the forest of cpressey's argument for the trees? | |
| 121 2010-07-27.txt:00:24:44: <oerjan> cpressey: well it's a fairly obvious idea i guess once you get the bell inequality kind of stuff that shows you cannot use only local, forward causality to explain QM | |
| 122 2010-07-27.txt:23:02:57: <oerjan> <cpressey> And: Will my unit tests pass this time? | |
| 123 2010-07-28.txt:00:06:12: <oerjan> cpressey: webcomic mad scientists | |
| 124 2010-07-28.txt:00:08:06: <oerjan> cpressey: well the previous time i saw it was a joke about norwegians afaict | |
| 125 2010-07-28.txt:00:08:53: <oerjan> cpressey: if it was Phantom_Hoover each time, presumably he's been reading the archive | |
| 126 2010-07-28.txt:15:43:37: <Phantom_Hoover> oerjan! cpressey! Mathnerd314! | |
| 127 2010-07-28.txt:23:35:11: <oerjan> <cpressey> I did wonder once if you could make a game out of NTMs -- one player tries to choose transitions that will make the machine accept, the other tries to choose transitions that will make it reject | |
| 128 2010-07-28.txt:23:42:00: <oerjan> cpressey: or to put it differently, if an alternating turing machine is played as a game where one player does all the universal transitions and tries to make it reject, and the other player does all the existensial transitions and tries to make it accept, then perfect play gives exactly the same result as the usual ATM interpretation | |
| 129 2010-07-28.txt:23:57:02: <oerjan> <cpressey> The wikipedia article on Sudoku is in the category "NP-complete problems", but mentions nothing about it on the page. Yay Wikipedia | |
| 130 2010-07-28.txt:23:59:08: <oerjan> cpressey: oh they've split things out into a Mathematics of Sudoku article | |
| 131 2010-07-29.txt:00:02:48: <oerjan> <cpressey> Does Co-NP = NP? | |
| 132 2010-07-29.txt:00:04:00: <oerjan> cpressey: well P=NP would imply NP=co-NP | |
| 133 2010-07-29.txt:00:19:46: <oerjan> <cpressey> Complete guess: SAT with monotonic sentences (no NOT) is in P. Maybe even a greedy algorithm | |
| 134 2010-07-29.txt:00:28:44: <oerjan> cpressey: i assume that's an american-only pun | |
| 135 2010-07-29.txt:17:03:05: <oerjan> cpressey: it's a trivial application of the pigeonhole principle | |
| 136 2010-07-29.txt:23:04:43: <oerjan> cpressey: dick lipton over at the Godel's Lost Letter blog uses "Conventional Wisdom" as a slightly derogatory term. | |
| 137 2010-07-30.txt:00:12:33: <oerjan> cpressey: seems connected to #P and PP | |
| 138 2010-07-30.txt:00:15:55: <oerjan> cpressey: um no it's not whether it's exactly half, it's whether the number is even or odd | |
| 139 2010-07-30.txt:00:23:02: <oerjan> cpressey: um no that's primality | |
| 140 2010-07-30.txt:00:49:41: <oerjan> cpressey: or we cannot prove they actually give the right answer | |
| 141 2010-07-30.txt:23:42:27: <oerjan> cpressey: ' and , are illegal. @--- should work, however | |
| 142 2010-08-03.txt:04:05:28: <oerjan> <Phantom_Hoover> cpressey, I thought lament's real name was Nikita something? | |
| 143 2010-08-04.txt:03:58:24: <oerjan> `addquote <AnMaster> cpressey, oh go to zzo's website. He is NIH <Phantom_Hoover> AnMaster, really? I was strongly under the impression that zzo was invented here. | |
| 144 2010-08-04.txt:18:09:21: <oerjan> cpressey: it doesn't provide a lazy number type, by default | |
| 145 2010-08-04.txt:18:11:33: <oerjan> cpressey: um a list of digits is just one possible implementation of a lazy number type | |
| 146 2010-08-05.txt:19:12:36: <oerjan> cpressey: well if Fruit is a Monad, you can use do blocks for that purpose | |
| 147 2010-08-05.txt:19:22:34: <oerjan> cpressey: hm maybe it's been added recently - i think it was said they'd add it if someone made a patch | |
| 148 2010-08-05.txt:19:51:01: <oerjan> cpressey: the last is an example of a Monad where _part_ of the monad value is strict in the first argument to >>, and _part_ is strict in the second :) | |
| 149 2010-08-05.txt:20:54:10: <oerjan> cpressey: you're not the first one to use that term :) | |
| 150 2010-08-05.txt:20:57:59: <oerjan> cpressey: uncurry . flip, i think | |
| 151 2010-08-05.txt:21:00:44: <oerjan> cpressey: i think many of ghc's optimization rules for lists depend on using fold/map style rather than explicit recursion | |
| 152 2010-08-05.txt:21:56:42: <oerjan> cpressey: if it involves evaluating variables, the results are cached | |
| 153 2010-08-05.txt:21:58:46: <oerjan> cpressey: semantically seq does nothing other than check whether the first argument is undefined before returning the second | |
| 154 2010-08-05.txt:22:09:19: <oerjan> cpressey: i recall from a previous comment that your last sentence there might _not_ be sarcasm? :D | |
| 155 2010-08-05.txt:22:15:17: <oerjan> cpressey: well yeah and also a 3-time repetition rule | |
| 156 2010-08-05.txt:22:20:16: <oerjan> zzo38: i assumed that was what cpressey meant by recursion limit | |
| 157 2010-08-05.txt:22:37:36: <oerjan> cpressey: evaluations/pure computations? | |
| 158 2010-08-05.txt:22:41:06: <oerjan> cpressey: i don't think so, more like data is a subset of codata | |
| 159 2010-08-06.txt:17:56:40: <oerjan> cpressey: monads force an order of _effects_. even in IO, evaluation of pure values is not always forced. | |
| 160 2010-08-06.txt:23:39:10: <oerjan> cpressey: what about myndzi's last link? | |
| 161 2010-08-06.txt:23:41:01: <oerjan> cpressey: no it was just a guess | |
| 162 2010-08-09.txt:20:04:57: <oerjan> `addquote <cpressey> Never ever use a quote which contains both the words "aloofness" and "gel" (verb). | |
| 163 2010-08-09.txt:20:18:14: <oerjan> cpressey: there are lots of variations of P vs. NP question | |
| 164 2010-08-09.txt:20:18:20: <oerjan> cpressey: um you serious? :D | |
| 165 2010-08-09.txt:20:19:17: <oerjan> cpressey: he _could_ be from here, not everyone here has revealed their real name | |
| 166 2010-08-09.txt:20:19:27: <oerjan> AnMaster: oh that's cpressey :D | |
| 167 2010-08-09.txt:20:23:06: <oerjan> cpressey: by "variation" i mean other questions that are slightly different (often by adding an oracle) | |
| 168 2010-08-09.txt:20:26:59: <oerjan> cpressey: of course you can, the problem is that _most_ methods in complexity theory allow you to add an arbitrary oracle to a proof | |
| 169 2010-08-09.txt:20:27:29: <oerjan> cpressey: heh | |
| 170 2010-08-09.txt:20:28:19: <oerjan> cpressey: well hopefully this guy found a non-crap method :) | |
| 171 2010-08-09.txt:20:33:38: <oerjan> cpressey: apparently random SAT instances are involved in the proof, i recall | |
| 172 2010-08-09.txt:22:24:32: <oerjan> cpressey: you cannot be both expert and any of the two others, imo | |
| 173 2010-08-10.txt:20:45:21: <oerjan> <cpressey> In programming in general. In mathematics -- I'll turn a blind eye. | |
| 174 2010-08-10.txt:20:45:46: <oerjan> <cpressey> Tuples suck. | |
| 175 2010-08-10.txt:21:03:27: <oerjan> oklopol: that's not crucial to what cpressey was discussing, i think. both tuples and lists allow arbitrary typed _contents_ in python | |
| 176 2010-08-10.txt:21:29:22: <oerjan> i guess you'll have to wait for cpressey to return for that :) | |
| 177 2010-08-14.txt:04:04:40: <oerjan> cpressey: you can rebind keys to your heart's content anyhow (i vaguely recall i rebound Home and End to go top and bottom of scrollback instead of beginning/end of line) | |
| 178 2010-08-14.txt:05:02:26: <oerjan> cpressey: YOU HAVE DOOMED US ALL | |
| 179 2010-09-04.txt:00:22:37: <oerjan> <fizzie> cpressey: A friend just facebooked (and a friend-of-a-friend told a similiar story) about a plumber that came to fix something, left saying "I'll need to go get some more tools from the car", and then never came back (or at least not in two weeks). | |
| 180 2010-09-04.txt:00:39:10: <oerjan> <cpressey> Phantom_Hoover: OOB seems to "tag" a value with a special invisible quality which makes some built-in functions do something different with it when they receive it. | |
| 181 2010-09-04.txt:23:59:59: <oerjan> <cpressey> I think it is, because I think you can encode SMETANA in it, but my brain isn't really working <-- SMETANA isn't TC | |
| 182 2010-09-05.txt:00:01:33: <oerjan> <cpressey> Oh btw, that P != NP proof was debunked, wasn't it? | |
| 183 2010-09-05.txt:01:05:11: <oerjan> cpressey: in any case you need try if you want anything to recover from a fail that consumes characters | |
| 184 2010-09-05.txt:04:53:32: <oerjan> cpressey: a pizza party with a pony parade is no basis for a system of government | |
| 185 2010-09-06.txt:18:19:29: <oerjan> cpressey: definitely not what you borrowed, it had too many #'s | |
| 186 2010-09-06.txt:18:36:59: <oerjan> cpressey: that sounds rather close to lambda to me. i guess it could still do weird things with nesting | |
| 187 2010-09-06.txt:18:39:57: <oerjan> cpressey: that sounds like a zzo38 quote :D | |
| 188 2010-09-07.txt:04:05:04: <oerjan> 17:10:19 * cpressey cues oerjan | |
| 189 2010-09-07.txt:04:41:37: <oerjan> cpressey: i'm pretty sure that false is an ordinary linux command, not an esolang | |
| 190 2010-09-07.txt:22:17:04: <oerjan> cpressey: unstated assumption is you have no border cells | |
| 191 2010-09-08.txt:17:15:37: <oerjan> <Phantom_Hoover> 15:50:29 <cpressey> unlambda in unlambda 15:51:21 <cpressey> that's just not right <-- Unlambda in Lazy K is even shorter, I think. | |
| 192 2010-09-08.txt:17:31:11: <oerjan> <cpressey> Isn't /tmp kind of an "antipattern" (though I despise that word)? ~/tmp would be better, except for the doesn't-count-for-quota/could-get-deleted-at-any-time rules, but those could be implemented some other way. | |
| 193 2010-09-08.txt:19:49:07: <oerjan> cpressey, stuck in the antipattern of using "antipattern" | |
| 194 2010-09-11.txt:21:39:54: <oerjan> cpressey: i've read that about Jung, not so much Darwin... | |
| 195 2010-09-11.txt:21:45:01: <oerjan> cpressey: i saw in the logs you asked about > binary operations, i know at least one called "median algebras", me and Rustad tried to publish an article connected to them but iirc it was rejected twice so we stopped. presumably it seemed too trivial. | |
| 196 2010-09-11.txt:21:48:11: <oerjan> cpressey: i guess we could have got it accepted by aiming lower with the journal, if we'd bothered | |
| 197 2010-09-11.txt:21:50:16: <oerjan> cpressey: incidentally if you are familiar with the 2-SAT problem (analogous to 3-SAT and higher, but in P), the solutions to a 2-SAT problem form a median algebra | |
| 198 2010-09-11.txt:21:54:57: <oerjan> cpressey: there are of course heaps of obscure kinds of algebras if one wants to look for them | |
| 199 2010-09-12.txt:04:18:20: <oerjan> cpressey: well the rosetta thing breaks down for the part "DER DE ENESTE PERSONEN OERJAN" since it clearly doesn't mean that i conquered anything. well unless i killed everyone else, i guess. | |
| 200 2010-09-12.txt:05:01:13: <oerjan> cpressey: the number changes with each command | |
| 201 2010-09-12.txt:20:35:15: <oerjan> 11:22:24 <cpressey> Pstate. Like Psmith. | |
| 202 2010-09-12.txt:20:38:09: <oerjan> cpressey: or is that from wodehouse? (who i haven't read but google says so) | |
| 203 2010-09-12.txt:22:41:38: <oerjan> cpressey: i think i've seen incremental | |
| 204 2010-09-12.txt:22:44:40: <oerjan> cpressey: it _may_ indicate something stronger though, where you don't just add more text but can even reparse after internal edits (more effeciently than reparsing _everything_) | |
| 205 2010-09-12.txt:22:46:32: <oerjan> cpressey: also i think the newfangled iteratee/enumerator concept for haskell (by oleg) is intended to support this | |
| 206 2010-09-12.txt:22:55:08: <oerjan> cpressey: in fact it seems that the iteratee people use "incremental" in the sense you want, while some other researchers use the stronger edit meaning | |
| 207 2010-09-12.txt:23:06:40: <oerjan> cpressey: this stuff is important to haskell because haskell requires you to make parsing incremental if you want to have the parser be pure code but still allow interleaving impure actions with parsing | |
| 208 2010-09-14.txt:00:47:56: <oerjan> cpressey: spoilsport :D | |
| 209 2010-09-14.txt:00:49:03: <oerjan> cpressey: *commutative (although you want associative too, with more arguments) | |
| 210 2010-09-14.txt:01:37:40: <oerjan> cpressey: i point you to /// which basically does _nothing_ but the two things you mention ;D | |

| 213 2010-09-16.txt:16:49:20: <oerjan> cpressey: you're forgetting the antipodes! | |
| 214 2010-10-04.txt:23:37:15: <oerjan> cpressey: i just did /notice #esoteric Testing... | |
| 215 2010-10-05.txt:17:17:55: <oerjan> hi cpressey | |
| 216 2010-10-05.txt:23:31:05: <oerjan> cpressey: basically that the restricted problem of looking _just_ at < k edge intersecting graphs may be polynomial to decide for a fixed k even if it is exponential in k | |
| 217 2010-10-05.txt:23:32:50: <oerjan> cpressey: for example i recall that the problem of deciding whether one graph is isomorphic to a subgraph of another is NP-complete, but if the smaller graph is _fixed_ (or bounded in size) then it's a polynomial problem | |
| 218 2010-10-06.txt:00:25:43: <oerjan> cpressey: YES and i agree | |
| 219 2010-10-06.txt:18:16:09: <oerjan> <cpressey> Does lambdabot keep messages for us, too? | |
| 220 2010-10-06.txt:18:17:27: <oerjan> @tell cpressey Sure it does! | |
| 221 2010-10-06.txt:18:45:22: <oerjan> cpressey: erm why didn't it tell you :( | |
| 222 2010-10-06.txt:18:46:18: <oerjan> cpressey: try saying something without lambdabot: in front | |
| 223 2010-10-07.txt:01:36:07: <oerjan> cpressey: surely that's borrowed from lisp | |
| 224 2010-10-07.txt:02:44:10: <oerjan> cpressey: i think someone said factor was removed again for some reason | |
| 225 2010-10-07.txt:02:49:13: <oerjan> it seems to have ignored some of cpressey's messages | |
| 226 2010-10-08.txt:06:19:55: <oerjan> 21:55:26 <cpressey> 23:51 < Riastradh> Boo! | |
| 227 2010-10-08.txt:06:19:55: <oerjan> 21:59:30 <cpressey> what's a good language to rewrite it in? | |
| 228 2010-10-08.txt:21:16:37: <pikhq> And oerjan is older than cpressey. | |
| 229 2010-10-09.txt:05:41:45: <oerjan> cpressey: and the star of this year's nobel prize in physics | |
| 230 2010-10-10.txt:05:14:06: <oerjan> <cpressey> the only programming language from south korea i know of, is an esolang. | |

| 232 2010-10-11.txt:07:14:45: <oerjan> <cpressey> @tell oerjan The problem with the "non-self-similar fractal" of a triangle, square, pentagon... is that as n gets large, n-gons do tend to look... well, similar. | |
| 233 2010-10-12.txt:18:09:25: <oerjan> cpressey: :t foldl' didn't work because foldl' is not in the Prelude | |
| 234 2010-10-12.txt:18:21:12: <oerjan> cpressey: join is already taken for a monadic function, though | |
| 235 2010-10-12.txt:18:23:11: <oerjan> cpressey: um what would that do? | |
| 236 2010-10-12.txt:18:23:50: <oerjan> Vorpal: i'm asking cpressey | |
| 237 2010-10-12.txt:18:29:27: <oerjan> cpressey: yeah that accumulator doesn't work well with laziness | |
| 238 2010-10-12.txt:18:29:57: <Vorpal> oerjan, the problem is, cpressey is too lazy to fix it | |
| 239 2010-10-12.txt:18:30:52: <oerjan> cpressey: what's doctests? | |
| 240 2010-10-12.txt:18:48:48: <oerjan> cpressey: well nothing preventing you from writing such comments, then | |
| 241 2010-10-12.txt:18:51:35: <oerjan> cpressey: haskell has several test suites as well as haddock for documentation. not that i've used them. | |
| 242 2010-10-12.txt:18:55:05: <oerjan> cpressey: my _vague_ understanding is quickcheck and smallcheck are useful in haskell for testing == kind of things, and hunit for actual IO related stuff | |
| 243 2010-10-13.txt:22:14:32: <oerjan> even cpressey doesn't know, the nsa wipe his memory whenever he leaves and reinstate it when he comes back | |
| 244 2010-11-25.txt:16:39:25: <elliott> oerjan: now we just need cpressey back | |
| 245 2010-12-13.txt:23:58:10: <oerjan> ooh, cpressey linkified feather on the wiki. i think this means we are all doomed. | |
| 246 2010-12-21.txt:01:58:28: <elliott> oerjan: it was actually a language i managed to trick cpressey into semi-designing before he buggered off irc :) | |
| 247 2010-12-22.txt:16:35:03: <elliott> oerjan: as the premier wiki sysop, you should slap cpressey for decreasing the sum total of the world's happiness significantly: http://esolangs.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Brainfuck&curid=1138&diff=20541&oldid=20540 | |
| 248 2010-12-25.txt:21:17:41: <elliott> oerjan: can you get a rubber hose to beat cpressey with? | |
| 249 2010-12-27.txt:18:22:23: <oerjan> ...i already did a similar correction, as did cpressey | |
| 250 2011-02-20.txt:03:56:38: <elliott> oerjan: consider that 90% of the things cpressey said in here were elaborate yarns about insane language features that turned out to be actual falcon features. | |
| 251 2011-03-11.txt:18:55:04: <oerjan> <elliott> cpressey: there is no operator for the other way around (unless you define one) <-- Control.Arrow.>>> | |

| 259 2011-03-13.txt:02:49:02: <oerjan> cpressey: there is at least one place it's a link, in a message by a google employee in the link i pasted a bit further up | |
| 260 2011-03-13.txt:02:55:25: <oerjan> cpressey: there definitely don't seem to be any high-ranked pages _warning_ against it, though | |
| 261 2011-03-21.txt:22:46:26: <oerjan> cpressey: um do you have your precedence right there | |
| 262 2011-03-21.txt:22:50:00: <oerjan> cpressey: um i thought you were disagreeing with my adding parentheses above? | |
| 263 2011-03-21.txt:22:50:41: <oerjan> cpressey: because you were talking about continued fractions and they use a/(b+c) | |
| 264 2011-03-21.txt:22:52:33: <oerjan> cpressey: also in haskell "is evaluated before" is rather distinct from precedence >:) | |
| 265 2011-03-21.txt:22:53:56: <oerjan> <cpressey> of course this means we need an esolang where the precedence varies in a difficult-to-predict way <-- i think oklopol had something like that | |
| 266 2011-03-29.txt:22:26:20: <oerjan> cpressey: sounds like it should be doable if the commands just fail to commutate enough | |

| 271 2011-03-30.txt:20:59:41: <oerjan> cpressey: if you plunge a wormhole into the sun, you really want to be careful where you put the other end. just saying. | |
