2004-06-11.txt:22:32:25: <lament> it's surprisingly efficient.
2004-11-07.txt:22:32:14: <fizzie> apparently he keeps finding composite-number-factoring algorithms at a surprisingly high rate. :p
2005-05-13.txt:09:02:27: <pgimeno> that's how I've managed to recover the True distribution (which is based, quite unsurprisingly, in False)
2005-05-13.txt:18:09:31: <puzzlet> surprisingly Wikipedia had launched hieroglyph support
2005-06-19.txt:19:02:31: <Keymaker> it's surprisingly time-consuming to write that kind of program. the hardest part is to keep switching windows to look at wikipedia article etc..
2005-07-27.txt:23:29:09: <fizzie> For a laptop it's surprisingly nice.
2005-11-26.txt:20:53:14: <jix> my div routine is surprisingly compact...
2005-12-03.txt:10:52:08: <int-e> Keymaker: the problem is surprisingly tricky for brainfuck

2006-08-11.txt:03:47:06: <RodgerTheGreat> seriously, though, that's a surprisingly successful translation.
2006-08-22.txt:00:56:56: <Razor-X> Wow. That's surprisingly good.
2006-09-02.txt:05:40:13: <ifndef_GREGOR_H> ivan`: This is surprisingly good for being raw IRC :P
2006-10-01.txt:21:24:25: <oerjan> no, surprisingly not i am just guessing how it works
2007-01-03.txt:07:17:23: <CakeProphet> not surprisingly.
2007-01-18.txt:02:51:16: <CakeProphet> it sounds feasible... surprisingly.
2007-02-19.txt:01:10:06: <SevenInchBread> yes, unsurprisingly, the mathematics behind music is pure mathematics... however there's obviously something missing from a mathematical model.
2007-02-25.txt:02:12:59: <oerjan> and more surprisingly, it actually manages to run the Malbolge cat program.
2007-03-21.txt:03:54:20: <oerjan> This surprisingly gives it some of the advantages of lazy evaluation.
2007-04-08.txt:03:49:33: <SevenInchBread> we can easily be esoteric (and Discordian... which works SURPRISINGLY well with esoteric) in the emergent behavior of our stale and bland platform
2007-05-31.txt:23:21:16: <oerjan> it was an auxiliary Germanish language that we discussed on the conlang mailing list years ago.  I am surprised to see it has a (disputed notability) Wikipedia article, and (not as surprisingly) has split into several versions.
2007-06-20.txt:04:36:44: <oerjan> surprisingly, the answer was yes.
2007-06-25.txt:19:32:41: <oerjan> i read learning russian was on the way up in finland, or something, unsurprisingly.
2007-06-30.txt:01:07:33: <ihope> ndiswrapper was surprisingly painless.
2007-07-07.txt:08:05:10: <edwardk> they can't be proven in general, but surprisingly many can
2007-08-01.txt:01:45:15: <lament> which is surprisingly not far from the truth
2007-09-10.txt:00:30:02: <oerjan> although the equality of the two numbers have seen surprisingly little investigation, being mentioned in only 3% of the articles on the subject.
2007-09-13.txt:07:46:09: <_D6Gregor1RFeZi> Surprisingly, VESA /did/ work at 24bpp 8-O
2007-10-25.txt:16:36:46: <ais523> surprisingly most of them weren't very interested
2007-11-01.txt:16:38:15: <GregorR> A long time ago, in a galaxy surprisingly nearby (here, in fact), somebody asked if Brainfuck can access the Win32 API.
2007-11-17.txt:18:06:15: <ehird`> "The approach is surprisingly simple: for each line of code you enter, we compile a shared object in the background. If the compilation succeeds, the object is loaded into a child process via dlopen(). If the child process segfaults, we know that the code was bad and so we can "rewind" by replaying all n-1 steps. Printing variables is handled by attaching gdb to the child process."
2007-12-28.txt:01:48:22: <Slereah-> It's surprisingly hot in here.
2007-12-28.txt:22:13:06: <Hiato> hrmm... no (unsurprisingly)
2008-01-04.txt:18:26:32: <Slereah> Yes. and unsurprisingly, it's in the m combinator section.

2008-06-17.txt:18:00:52: <ais523> heh, unsurprisingly, spreadfirefox.com is down
2008-06-24.txt:19:49:52: <ais523> C-INTERCAL's surprisingly robust against everything but call stack tricks
2008-07-05.txt:17:09:21: <Deewiant> surprisingly handy
2008-07-06.txt:16:40:17: <oerjan> surprisingly hot
2008-08-08.txt:20:07:16: <tusho> (Perhaps surprisingly,) it's annoying.
2008-08-15.txt:13:20:55: <oerjan> i suppose T&R has surprisingly few math jokes for having polygons as the main characters
2008-08-20.txt:17:22:56: <Deewiant> and he did, surprisingly quickly too :-P
2008-09-02.txt:19:31:08: <oerjan> AnMaster: Oscar Wilde did surprisingly well without one
2008-09-04.txt:20:02:09: <fizzie> "Surprisingly" the name "zzie" was not taken.
2008-09-07.txt:08:25:14: <oerjan> surprisingly, some people are awake
2008-09-17.txt:20:44:43: <fizzie> fungot: You're being surprisingly coherent today.
2008-09-17.txt:21:40:48: <fizzie> That's surprisingly small.
2008-09-21.txt:13:11:35: <HanDongSeong> surprisingly there are also many atheists here
2008-09-22.txt:17:39:02: <ais523> the code for it is surprisingly readable as it has pretty much nothing to do with brainfuck
2008-09-23.txt:21:37:58: <tusho> unsurprisingly it fails in lynx
2008-09-28.txt:21:36:50: <fizzie> I think all we got out of that one was few minutes of pointlessness, unsurprisingly.
2008-10-16.txt:08:41:14: <immibis> it seems to give surprisingly relevant answers
2008-10-23.txt:09:57:43: <fizzie> fungot: That was surprisingly text-like.
2008-10-23.txt:09:58:58: <fizzie> That's surprisingly legible.
2008-10-26.txt:19:57:04: <fizzie> Actually the current data-set, even though it's so tiny, works surprisingly well: http://zem.fi/~fis/botconv.txt
2008-10-27.txt:20:57:37: <fizzie> In the wiki there's also "Another Pi Language", where the source code is two arbitrary integers; first is the index in pi and second is the amount of digits to read; that is then interpreted as "source file of any language". Unsurprisingly unimplemented.
2008-10-31.txt:23:58:03: <fizzie> ehird: Suggested emacs, surprisingly.
2008-11-13.txt:17:01:25: <Deewiant> Unsurprisingly enough :-P
2008-11-21.txt:23:35:48: <oklo> surprisingly easy to read considering finland very rarely has any link between a's and ä's
2008-12-05.txt:18:25:36: <oerjan> surprisingly that term does not exist yet
2008-12-07.txt:16:26:25: * SimonRC is in a surprisingly bad mood
2008-12-21.txt:23:17:16: <fizzie> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_micronations is surprisingly long.

2008-12-31.txt:21:10:56: <psygnisfive> Madagascar 2 was a good movie, surprisingly
2009-01-04.txt:18:13:20: <ais523> although "what am intelligence" seems surprisingly philosophical
2009-01-07.txt:12:50:17: <fizzie> Path names are indeed surprisingly short.
2009-01-08.txt:17:11:38: <fungot> AnMaster: i tried both gambit 4b13 and gambit 4b15, and surprisingly, the picture that won fnord ascii art contest wasn't even ascii art.
2009-01-09.txt:23:04:35: <fizzie> There seem to be quite many Polish distributions in there; surprisingly.
2009-01-09.txt:23:04:42: <ehird> fizzie: or, rather, not surprisingly
2009-01-11.txt:09:29:02: <fungot> oklopol: ut austin too, not surprisingly though. ;p fnord/ fnord/ posse/ fnord/ esoteric not found
2009-01-11.txt:19:01:49: <ehird> that's surprisingly common in programming.
2009-01-13.txt:18:01:40: <Deewiant> which is unsurprisingly what's under localhost in /etc/hosts
2009-01-14.txt:18:33:42: <ehird> a2p is surprisingly competent
2009-01-18.txt:02:18:16: <kerlo> (((s k) a) b), surprisingly, gives this: b

2009-01-18.txt:19:25:47: <ais523> I actually used to be pretty good at VB once, surprisingly
2009-01-18.txt:22:05:50: <ehird> ais523: unsurprisingly, Python is not optimized for entering code over IRC.
2009-02-06.txt:15:54:12: <leeguy92> ,[>,]      i discovered brainfuck can be surprisingly compact
2009-02-14.txt:15:48:49: <ehird> ais523: that's surprisingly ugly/hacked up for a google logos
2009-02-21.txt:15:02:52: <ais523> hmm... Dolphin is reminding me surprisingly of Nautilus
2009-02-22.txt:00:09:41: <ehird> which is surprisingly cheap
2009-02-23.txt:16:41:27: <ais523> looks surprisingly complex
2009-03-01.txt:09:54:21: <fizzie> Echoing is surprisingly complicated.
2009-03-03.txt:14:55:47: <ais523> surprisingly, CLC-INTERCAL would parse that just fine, C-INTERCAL might have more trouble
2009-03-04.txt:17:20:24: <ehird> wow, my malloc() returns surprisingly clean results. like 0x200000
2009-03-05.txt:15:34:28: <ais523> this is actually surprisingly like writing INTERCAL
2009-03-05.txt:17:53:07: <ais523> most of the answers are surprisingly sane
2009-03-12.txt:14:59:34: <fizzie> Fujitsu Siemens is partially German (the Siemens side, surprisingly) and they manufacture computers.
2009-03-13.txt:20:15:41: <fizzie> That's surprisingly modern, given that triangles is what they draw nowadays too.
2009-03-15.txt:20:43:47: <ehird> AnMaster: I don't actually give a damn whether you watch it or not, surprisingly.
2009-03-27.txt:20:33:28: <AnMaster> Deewiant, fungot uses surprisingly much of the stuff actually, apart from stack stacks
2009-03-31.txt:14:13:56: <Deewiant> cfunge chokes as badly as CCBI on Mycology, unsurprisingly
2009-04-01.txt:23:21:08: <ais523> Gracenotes: #IRP is actually surprisingly active today
2009-04-06.txt:01:57:21: <oerjan> surprisingly hard to find, the spanish is compresiones
2009-04-07.txt:21:33:06: <Deewiant> (Unsurprisingly enough)
2009-04-08.txt:20:14:57: <ehird> AnMaster: very low, surprisingly.
2009-04-09.txt:22:32:45: <fizzie> Well, it's nice that it's someone else who's had to think about how to port that sigsegv handling; there seem to be some specialization involved for almost all (os, architecture) pairs in it. Also it doesn't do what I want in jitfunge (not surprisingly, since it's such a peculiar need), which is to fake the stack underflow so that it skips the faulting instruction, "returns" a zero, and counteracts the effect of any instructions that moved the stack pointer.
2009-04-11.txt:21:15:22: <ehird> When I was young and naive I was looking around my computer and thought thermal paste was unwanted gunge, so I scraped it all off. Surprisingly, it never caught fire.
2009-04-17.txt:18:53:14: <Deewiant> Unsurprisingly enough
2009-04-24.txt:16:35:04: <fizzie> Surprisingly the Culture books produced reasonably funny-sounding output; but I already have so many "normal authors" there.
2009-04-26.txt:16:02:50: <ais523> surprisingly, Cuil's results are slightly better than Google's in that respect
2009-04-26.txt:20:03:01: <Deewiant> Unsurprisingly.
2009-04-26.txt:20:03:12: <AnMaster> why "Unsurprisingly"
2009-04-27.txt:18:19:25: <ais523> which strikes me as surprisingly low given Moore's Law
2009-05-07.txt:04:50:35: <GregorR> I'm using oocalc. It works surprisingly well, and can even save without needing any further modifications to get it in the target form if you know how to ask it right, but it's a bit of a PITA because you can't just type, you have to press an arrow after every key.
2009-05-08.txt:20:24:44: <Deewiant> Unsurprisingly, doing SSD alignment on an HD isn't very smart :-P
2009-05-08.txt:20:40:36: <Deewiant> Lilja's there, unsurprisingly; he's a Haskell guy
2009-05-27.txt:20:04:59: <ehird> 8192, which is surprisingly small. But Deewiant, I want to know how many calls, on average.
2009-05-28.txt:07:41:34: <myndzi> i suspect that perhaps, given the right goal, brainfuck and a small set of random characters might be surprisingly flexible
2009-05-30.txt:19:09:12: <ehird> AnMaster: unsurprisingly, you're the only one it bothers.
2009-05-31.txt:08:06:43: <Patashu> 2/3 weave is surprisingly good still
2009-06-01.txt:10:29:33: <GregorR-L> Unsurprisingly, we're using the version ais made.
2009-06-01.txt:10:52:40: <GregorR-L> It tasted mostly like (presumably my own) blood, surprisingly sweet, with a little bit of bitterness.
2009-06-07.txt:00:11:25: <Lune-aVulff> ehird: Most of them are surprisingly lame :(
2009-06-10.txt:22:45:54: <GregorR> ehird: Not yet. Surprisingly difficult to take full-body photos of oneself :P
2009-06-12.txt:00:12:49: <GregorR> http://filebin.ca/tgruta/AgonizedlyChunkySonata.mid // this is a surprisingly accurate name :P
2009-06-18.txt:04:45:26: <oklopol> i'm writing a textbox atm, making a pretty correspondence between logical and physical lines is surprisingly difficult.
2009-06-23.txt:18:06:23: <Deewiant> Unsurprisingly, it devotes 18 lines to defining fst,snd,trd,frth,ffth for tuples up to size 5
2009-07-10.txt:23:26:48: <oerjan> surprisingly close...
2009-07-13.txt:01:55:16: <Warrigal> I'm finding it surprisingly difficult to make a cat interpreter.
2009-07-20.txt:22:09:40: <ehird> google, unsurprisingly, can has a logo
2009-07-25.txt:22:42:28: <oklopol> but it takes surprisingly little effort to learn to be happy
2009-07-28.txt:01:28:49: <ehird> Surprisingly, statistically, NOBODY DOES THAT.
2009-08-05.txt:01:30:20: <oerjan> surprisingly nothing to do with piercing.
2009-08-06.txt:18:17:28: <oklopol> i mean writing a brainfuck interp without parsing is actually surprisingly error prone
2009-08-10.txt:16:46:19: <olegfink> surprisingly, it seems that it's the other way around
2009-08-12.txt:19:19:43: <oklopol> GregorR-L: surprisingly many, unfortunately!
2009-08-14.txt:19:54:06: <ehird> acme works surprisingly well on os x
2009-08-15.txt:02:35:19: <ehird> there surprisingly aren't any...
2009-08-26.txt:22:34:15: <ehird1> surprisingly, moving /lib doesn't break things.
2009-09-01.txt:06:46:54: <ehird> Surprisingly, a shiny new CPU with like 20% performance improvements does not alleviate the crippling slowness of bash and bashfunge.
2009-09-03.txt:21:39:51: <ehird> surprisingly, my partition surgery worked perfectly, first time
2009-09-03.txt:23:09:19: <ehird> [22:39] ehird: surprisingly, my partition surgery worked perfectly, first time
2009-09-03.txt:23:10:25: <Deewiant> 2009-09-03 23:39:57 ( ehird) surprisingly, my partition surgery worked perfectly, first time
2009-09-04.txt:03:51:26: <ehird> it's...surprisingly snappy
2009-09-12.txt:06:01:57: <ehird> unsurprisingly, it's to run a flight simulator
2009-09-12.txt:10:57:55: <ehird> That's surprisingly recent for cygwin :P
2009-09-13.txt:11:50:55: <fizzie> nasm, to be precise; surprisingly enough it didn't interpret "0123" as octal, wanted a "0o" prefix there.
2009-09-17.txt:21:19:47: <Deewiant> In Python, + concatenates; in Perl, it unsurprisingly adds two numbers :-P
2009-09-21.txt:22:45:26: <ehird> Surprisingly enough, most applications are unlike a web browser.
2009-09-21.txt:22:48:13: <ehird> Surprisingly enough, it's called a default because it's not appropriate in ALL cases.
2009-09-22.txt:10:18:26: <fizzie> Well, the SoftwareStore wiki page has renamed categories into "Departments", such as you would find from a physical store; I guess they're driving for that sort of metaphor. Except you only shoplift and never pay. (Well, the word "shoplift" surprisingly isn't mentioned there.)
2009-09-23.txt:15:31:29: <ehird> AnMaster: Surprisingly, the general population don't give a shit: they're sitting at horrible 16"-18" Acer laptops with a damn number pad and an uber-glossy 16:9 screen.
2009-10-01.txt:04:25:12: <hekau> surprisingly they made heavy use of occult symbolism
2009-10-05.txt:11:12:04: <ehird> and hobbyists, surprisingly, don't find porting every new feature to 3.11 fun
2009-10-06.txt:23:53:11: <oerjan> the rest is surprisingly close
2009-10-09.txt:07:26:22: <Rugxulo> surprisingly

2009-10-22.txt:04:01:22: <ehird> Well that's... surprisingly honest.
2009-10-24.txt:18:16:22: <ais523> /dev/env in DJGPP was surprisingly useful
2009-10-24.txt:18:23:59: <AnMaster> <ais523> /dev/env in DJGPP was surprisingly useful <-- eh
2009-10-26.txt:18:23:15: <ehird> The images themselves can be either .WIM images (as used in Vista), or .VHD (as used in Virtual PC). The ability to use VHD images allows the same image to be used across both virtual and physical hardware. Using a VHD with physical hardware depends on a new Windows 7 feature that allows direct booting from a VHD file; as a consequence, only Windows 7 (and Windows Server 2008 R2) can be deployed in this way. Manually deploying VHD images is surprisingly si
2009-11-01.txt:11:30:16: <Pthing> it is surprisingly (except not because it's pretty richly structured) melodic
2009-11-01.txt:11:37:39: <Pthing> if it were orchestrated properly, it would sound surprisingly good for all that it is entirely algorithmic
2009-11-02.txt:07:45:05: <ehird> That was surprisingly easy
2009-11-04.txt:23:47:51: <Gregor> Seems good enough, surprisingly *shrugs*
2009-11-12.txt:23:29:30: <Rugxulo> compresses to 21k .ZIP (unsurprisingly)
2009-11-23.txt:02:41:25: <ehird> That's pretty high at the top, and I can tell you that the type system hindered and bothered me a lot, and helped me surprisingly few times in comparison.
2009-12-01.txt:22:34:19: <ais523> that would actually be surprisingly easy
2009-12-01.txt:22:47:35: <ais523> AnMaster: gcc-bf is surprisingly efficient, on an RLE system
2009-12-20.txt:02:06:02: <ehirdiphone> iPhone typing is, surprisingly, not instantaneous.

2010-01-08.txt:14:33:37: <ehird> XP handles being lobotomised surprisingly well.
2010-01-08.txt:15:41:34: <ehird> That was surprisingly painless

2010-01-10.txt:16:31:47: <ehird> AnMaster: Surprisingly enough, I don't care about your opinions.
2010-01-15.txt:10:34:20: <ais523> yes, surprisingly so
2010-01-26.txt:00:05:08: <Gregor> Finding non-crappy trumpet soundfonts. Surprisingly difficult.
2010-01-26.txt:22:05:42: <Deewiant> I'm missing all of those too, unsurprisingly enough. (And a few dozen others.)
2010-02-15.txt:01:23:32: <oerjan> surprisingly rarely
2010-02-25.txt:15:33:06: <fizzie> It was a bit tricky to interface with on the TI DSP board; despite being made by the same company, "surprisingly" the rather advanced (or at least feature-rich) serial communications circuitry wasn't really helpful for that sort of stuff.
2010-03-02.txt:14:02:10: <fungot> fizzie: an elven cloak: the hitchhiker's guide to the moonlight and the cimmerian. they are found in many places, not surprisingly, are large, dark shape rose from the chaos and gave it to open locked doors.
2010-03-03.txt:20:36:06: <fizzie> anmaster_l: Do you happen to know Erlang's actual bignum format, by the way? I only know how GMP does it, and that particular library has a (surprisingly small) MAX_BIGNUM.
2010-03-12.txt:18:38:25: <Deewiant> AnMaster: Only on POSIX, unsurprisingly enough.
2010-03-15.txt:01:03:56: <augur> and this algorithm works _surprisingly_ well
2010-03-28.txt:15:45:15: <alise_> Now I'm trying to prove (~ exists n, forall m, n >= m); it's surprisingly difficult.
2010-04-02.txt:01:23:34: <mibygl> Wow, it's surprisingly difficult to create a user from the command line in OS C.
2010-04-02.txt:01:26:05: <AnMaster> <mibygl> Wow, it's surprisingly difficult to create a user from the command line in OS C. <-- yeah, I heard it is all a chimera that OS .
2010-04-02.txt:18:00:27: <ais523> seems surprisingly uncreative for Google
2010-04-05.txt:04:28:40: <oklopol> boolean algebras i had heard of, surprisingly enough
2010-04-09.txt:16:50:42: <Deewiant> vaeyl dies due to k not working as expected, unsurprisingly enough
2010-04-09.txt:21:36:03: <Deewiant> Unsurprisingly enough
2010-04-09.txt:22:57:31: <alise> Surprisingly, that first sentence is actually the correct way to phrase that with "you guys".
2010-04-11.txt:18:48:42: <AnMaster> Deewiant, and surprisingly so does rcfunge!
2010-04-13.txt:01:55:48: <Gregor> That site is both not Pen Island, and surprisingly penis-free. (Although not at all porn-free)
2010-04-16.txt:22:18:46: <alise> The definition code is surprisingly nice. This is promising.
2010-04-17.txt:23:56:57: <Rugxulo> huh, mandel.bf is slow also (surprisingly)
2010-04-19.txt:18:13:37: <pikhq> AnMaster: Surprisingly? Many things do require C++.
2010-04-29.txt:14:50:44: <fizzie> Misread an Amazon title recommendation as "Purely Fictional Data Structures". (Unsurprisingly, they were functional instead. I might have bought a book on fictional ones.)
2010-05-01.txt:01:41:45: <ais523> wow, I'm surprisingly good at feeling generically angry
2010-05-01.txt:02:01:48: <pikhq> It is, unsurprisingly, a char*.
2010-05-04.txt:11:53:27: <fizzie> It has aspects of the farcical; after losing in court, they appeal and demand a jury trial; the court of appeals surprisingly-ishly agrees and grants that; the jury unanimously says the same thing the court did; so now they want either a special overrule-the-jury judgement, or a new jury, because "the jury simply got it wrong" (direct quote).
2010-05-04.txt:18:07:16: <fizzie> AnMaster: the summer school thing was just a miscellaneous ad from my inbox. "Surprisingly" it wasn't related to novels in the book sense at all; was more about robotics and such.
2010-05-06.txt:16:56:01: <pikhq> nooga: Surprisingly, it works quite decently when you treat it a bit like Japanese does.
2010-05-08.txt:12:48:01: <alise> The end result is, surprisingly enough, custard.
2010-05-11.txt:22:02:10: <AnMaster> Rugxulo, that looks surprisingly modern
2010-05-12.txt:00:16:46: <oerjan> surprisingly integers have finite forms
2010-05-16.txt:01:53:20: <pikhq> Worked surprisingly well, though.
2010-05-22.txt:07:25:10: <Gregor> So I ran into a surprisingly ridiculous problem today.
2010-05-23.txt:06:59:02: <Gregor> Incidentally, I am eating this Reuben with a Sangria (sin alcohol), which is a surprisingly good combination.
2010-05-23.txt:20:39:12: <ais523> surprisingly little
2010-05-28.txt:21:41:36: <Sgeo_> alise, a surprisingly large number
2010-05-29.txt:21:25:32: <oerjan> it's surprisingly subtle how to do division
2010-06-01.txt:03:11:28: <alise> Wow, that's a surprisingly low rate of fuckerrors.
2010-06-06.txt:03:13:52: <alise> Surprisingly heavy!
2010-06-07.txt:13:02:45: <oerjan> surprisingly, there are interesting consequences.  if * is surjective, then it's essentially a kind of linear function, and all linear functions of two variables have this property.
2010-06-18.txt:00:02:49: <ais523> I'm surprisingly bad with doors
2010-06-19.txt:10:45:00: <oklopol> division is surprisingly hard
2010-06-19.txt:20:28:12: <coppro> incidentally, I'm now disappointed I didn't find out about and join the PPCA earlier, because (unsurprisingly) I'm relatively moderate among members when it comes to my views
2010-06-21.txt:20:54:45: <oerjan> and surprisingly the answer is "all of them, using only 5 possible passing-on values" (the 5 i deduced myself from the article)
2010-06-27.txt:18:01:26: <fizzie> The Linux boot protocol is (surprisingly) well documented in Documentation/x86/boot.txt, though, so it's not hard to whip up a loader.
2010-06-30.txt:23:02:36: <ehirdiphone> Which I fail surprisingly often at because I'm not given a calculator and mental arithmetic is so tedious that I cut corners.
2010-07-01.txt:15:07:07: <ais523> come to think of it, JS and Lua are surprisingly similar languages
2010-07-04.txt:02:04:50: <ais523> it comes up surprisingly often, but people don't recognise it
2010-07-09.txt:05:20:46: <Gregor-P> Its tablet screen is surprisingly nice fo general navigation.
2010-07-16.txt:22:22:57: <cpressey> zzo38: Hm, I do (I use NASM) but it's short (surprisingly short) so it'll be easy to convert.
2010-07-26.txt:23:45:49: <cpressey> oerjan: It's surprisingly hard work, considering it's nothing.
2010-07-30.txt:14:03:53: <cpressey> <alise> "And what has he done..." <-- wow, i find that surprisingly offensive in a way i cannot readily describe
2010-08-01.txt:18:13:18: <fizzie> There's surprisingly many air-conditioning systems listed; I didn't even know those have remote control in general.
2010-08-07.txt:00:48:42: <alise> "Ed stories" is a surprisingly long book.
2010-08-12.txt:23:19:18: <fizzie> It's by a demoscene group, somewhat unsurprisingly.
2010-08-15.txt:05:02:18: <Sgeo_> Also, it made surprisingly good plays
2010-08-15.txt:18:45:44: <alise> This is a surprisingly active dlvl 1.
2010-08-16.txt:08:11:53: <zzo38> And people often say my programs are surprisingly small. So therefore it is not that much surprise......
2010-08-18.txt:01:13:53: <alise> RDJA is surprisingly /catchy/.
2010-08-22.txt:20:40:15: <alise> Which is the most hacked-together yet surprisingly functional orgy ever.
2010-08-29.txt:03:10:22: <alise> this works surprisingly well
2010-09-06.txt:16:09:18: <cpressey> Unsurprisingly, the latest version of SIOD does not build out-of-the-box on Linux.  This is unsurprising because the latest version of SIOD is from 1996.
2010-09-12.txt:19:05:59: <alise> Monaco renders surprisingly well here.
2010-09-19.txt:23:30:33: <Phantom_Hoover> And a pile of rust, which is really all that would remain of exposed structures after a surprisingly short time, is not very useful.
2010-09-20.txt:20:37:39: <alise> Of course, this is fundamentally probabilistic in the end; it may do something obviously stupid simply because it was never stupid before, and that's unavoidable. Still, stupid heuristics have surprisingly high success rates, I find...
2010-09-26.txt:15:31:19: <alise> Thus producing an ever-so-slightly broken but surprisingly-well-working 95-era interface on Win2k.
2010-09-28.txt:18:49:50: <Phantom_Hoover> It's holding out surprisingly well...
2010-10-06.txt:22:44:54: <alise> Surprisingly fast, too.
2010-10-06.txt:23:01:29: <alise> http://benmetcalfe.com/blog/2010/10/the-ly-domain-space-to-be-considered-unsafe/ Using domains in the TLDs of countries you can't trust: surprisingly, a bad idea! trust
2010-10-07.txt:14:02:38: <alise> This keyboard has surprisingly good tactile response for Logitech.
2010-10-07.txt:14:09:09: <fizzie> "Several" was rather surprisingly many, if I remember the case right. Certainly not the majority, though.
2010-10-07.txt:18:31:59: <alise> 1635 bytes of Python -- well, 1634, the newline at the end is irrelevant -- and, although it doesn't have monsters that actually fight you yet, it's surprisingly feature...ful
2010-10-07.txt:19:14:18: <Gregor> Which is surprisingly annoying to extract.
2010-10-07.txt:21:06:08: <ais523> also, it was a surprisingly non-eso project
2010-10-08.txt:19:44:13: <alise> pikhq: $19.23/month, paid annually. Actually that's surprisingly cheap...
2010-10-08.txt:20:56:13: <alise> surprisingly
2010-10-09.txt:03:01:11: <alise> I HAVE READ SURPRISINGLY LITTLE THINGS THAT I SHOULD HAVE
2010-10-10.txt:02:36:00: <alise> pikhq: Surprisingly, for a game released in 1997, it is *still regularly updated*.
2010-10-14.txt:01:01:04: <elliott> There are surprisingly few interwikis on [[en:fuck]].
2010-10-15.txt:00:28:24: <elliott> pikhq: Unsurprisingly, it doesn't work. At all.
2010-10-15.txt:16:43:25: <cheater> surprisingly that has worked
2010-10-16.txt:19:41:15: <pikhq> Sgeo: It's actually a reasonable security model, surprisingly.
2010-10-16.txt:21:12:12: <olsner> his discoveries are all surprisingly recent too, I always thought the mandelbrot set and all that stuff was discovered in the 30s or something by a mandelbrot at least 50 years older than he actually was
2010-10-16.txt:21:16:57: <elliott> <olsner> his discoveries are all surprisingly recent too, I always thought the mandelbrot set and all that stuff was discovered in the 30s or something by a mandelbrot at least 50 years older than he actually was
2010-10-17.txt:22:53:09: <elliott> Surprisingly it's not hideous.
2010-10-19.txt:00:37:31: <elliott> (which was a surprisingly complete vi-esque interface to Visual Studio)
2010-10-19.txt:15:15:07: <catseye> ais523: i ...can't think of any, surprisingly
2010-10-21.txt:20:31:00: <quintopia> elliott: surprisingly few worthy of mention tho.  compared to GPL.
2010-10-21.txt:22:12:08: <elliott> cpressey: i mean ruby is *surprisingly* close, but (1) THE FUCKING "COMMUNITY" and (2) it has a few really, really weird parts that just destroy it
2010-10-22.txt:23:11:55: <quintopia> human after all was surprisingly good
2010-10-23.txt:01:00:57: <elliott> surprisingly, i never had any bugs due to this.
2010-10-24.txt:13:33:15: <Phantom_Hoover> Watching Gregor's corpse freefall is surprisingly relaxing.
2010-10-25.txt:17:30:23: <fizzie> Looks surprisingly consistent.
2010-10-26.txt:00:03:09: <elliott> Vorpal: They've got surprisingly few for being continuously maintained since 1993.
2010-10-26.txt:05:57:56: <coppro> which Microsoft actually surprisingly beat them to
2010-10-28.txt:20:56:03: <elliott> ...wow, that was surprisingly awesome
2010-10-29.txt:02:54:07: <pikhq> Which, surprisingly, goes a long way in software.
2010-10-31.txt:17:09:13: <catseye> Vorpal: it's not bad.  renders the table on the main page surprisingly well
2010-11-02.txt:06:39:52: <coppro> where our governments have a surprisingly strong 'old boss same as new boss' tendency
2010-11-05.txt:04:12:40: <coppro> for a surprisingly weak acid
2010-11-12.txt:20:20:59: <fizzie> Vorpal: Well, mine was a Wikipedia "Random article", unsurprisingly.
2010-11-13.txt:17:35:06: <Gregor> elliott: Yeah, I see that, but that still seems surprisingly lacking in douchebaggery for Apple ...
2010-11-22.txt:22:33:11: <oklopol> elliott: it's surprisingly hard to do anything, actually
2010-11-28.txt:08:05:04: <Gregor> I'm actually of surprisingly few heritages for a person whose family on both sides has been in the US for more than a century.
2010-11-28.txt:08:06:00: <pikhq> And I'm of surprisingly specifically-general heritage set.
2010-11-29.txt:15:08:15: <ais523\unfoog> elliott: anyway, being well-connected is a surprisingly useful skill
2010-12-03.txt:18:18:25: <quintopia> elliott: try the positional heuristic.  i hear it's surprisingly good for how simple it is.
2010-12-04.txt:17:34:27: <elliott> Surprisingly, it's smaller than cat...
2010-12-04.txt:19:44:03: <Vorpal> Smmick, this channel is about esoteric programming languages, not esoterica btw. Surprisingly many get that wrong
2010-12-06.txt:20:03:08: <ais523> and it's a surprisingly simple scheme, resembling gzip's but with a much better ratio
2010-12-11.txt:02:53:22: <elliott> My eyes have adapted to staring at a computer screen for countless hours at a time. Surprisingly I don't need glasses and have better-than-average vision even after all these years...
2010-12-15.txt:16:54:56: <elliott> ais523: anyway, the apply function is surprisingly neat!
2010-12-15.txt:16:55:40: <elliott> ais523: http://sprunge.us/gZDO the guards are basically a half-assed excuse for not writing a proper validation function, and the do notation is unnecessary, but it's surprisingly simple
2010-12-16.txt:14:26:00: <ais523> I spent ages reading Apple's guidelines about Objective C memory management; they were, surprisingly, exactly the same as Perl uses internally
2010-12-16.txt:14:50:48: <ais523> and it's... surprisingly less irritating than I thought it would be
2010-12-16.txt:16:48:15: <ais523> (which is, surprisingly, actually useful on occasion)
2010-12-21.txt:00:22:06: <elliott> $(error Your work area is under a directory whose name contains a space.  While it's possible to beat make into working with such directories, it's surprisingly hard and causes more problems than it solves.  So, sorry, but don't do that)
2010-12-23.txt:20:26:18: <elliott> that was surprisingly painless
2010-12-24.txt:20:34:59: <elliott> asiek2erka: Um, because Christians went crusading to convert all the evil nonbelievers quite a while back and it worked surprisingly well ...?
2010-12-24.txt:20:36:45: <elliott> Surprisingly effective.
2010-12-31.txt:21:34:49: <Gregor> That worked surprisingly well for a typo.
2011-01-04.txt:19:29:13: <Phantom_Hoover_> elliott, it's worked surprisingly well so far.
[too many lines; stopping]
