2003-01-21.txt:10:15:29: <dbc> Okay.
2003-01-21.txt:10:17:58: <dbc> (Actually that probably needs, at the least, a change of font to look good...)
2003-01-21.txt:10:18:31: <lament> font?
2003-01-21.txt:10:18:37: <lament> you don't know what font i'm using :)
2003-01-21.txt:10:19:14: <dbc> Are you using one as wide as it is high?
2003-01-21.txt:10:19:24: <lament> no.
2003-01-21.txt:10:19:57: <lament> what fractal is that, anyway?
2003-01-21.txt:10:20:02: <dbc> I had suspected not. People don't usually. Still I left the "probably" there as a weasel word.
2003-01-21.txt:10:20:46: <dbc> That's the result of a Fredkin rule cellular automaton (one that sets each cell to the parity of its neighbors)...
2003-01-21.txt:10:21:34: <lament> how's it a fractal?
2003-01-21.txt:10:21:40: <dbc> eight neighbors, starting condition only one cell turned on...this is I think after 32 iterations.
2003-01-21.txt:10:22:19: <lament> hm, there doesn't seem to be a mandelbrot generator in brainfuck
2003-01-21.txt:10:22:22: <lament> i should fix that
2003-01-21.txt:10:23:18: <dbc> Well, it can also be constructed like the koch snowflake etc, by repeatedly replacing a certain pattern of lines with another one...
2003-01-21.txt:10:23:34: <dbc> though the parts come out at different speeds with that method.
2003-01-21.txt:10:32:28: <dbc> Good luck on that project, anyway...
2003-01-21.txt:10:34:04: <lament> it should be easy
2003-01-21.txt:10:34:07: <lament> or maybe not
2003-01-21.txt:10:38:47: <lament> besides, i have a magic brainfuck preprocessor
2003-01-21.txt:10:38:54: <dbc> Oh christ.
2003-01-21.txt:10:40:28: <lament> all i need is a good representation for fractional numbers.
2003-01-21.txt:10:43:58: <lament> hahahahahaa
2003-01-21.txt:10:44:06: <lament> i searched google for 'imaginary numbers'
2003-01-21.txt:10:44:21: <lament> the very first result is some page in the university of toronto
2003-01-21.txt:10:44:27: <lament> 'Do "Imaginary Numbers" Really Exist?'
2003-01-21.txt:10:44:39: <lament> and they give a long answer to that
2003-01-21.txt:10:44:48: <lament> which includes "Imaginary numbers do exist."
2003-01-21.txt:10:45:04: <lament> Jesus christ, it's the leading canadian university
2003-01-21.txt:10:45:12: <lament> And they're saying imaginary numbers exist :\
2003-01-21.txt:10:46:00: <lament> and they're using an extremely broken argument to prove their 'existance'
2003-01-21.txt:11:00:42: <dbc> I'm not sure the question is even well-defined.
2003-01-21.txt:11:01:29: <lament> I would be terrified to find out numbers actually existed.
2003-01-21.txt:11:01:41: <dbc> Why? They don't have teeth.
2003-01-21.txt:11:01:51: <lament> dbc: only because they don't exist!
2003-01-21.txt:11:01:57: <dbc> :)
2003-01-21.txt:11:02:53: <lament> Stupid fractional numbers.
2003-01-21.txt:11:03:29: <dbc> You can keep them as numerator and denominator, no?
2003-01-21.txt:11:03:31: <lament> They don't exist either, but they sure are stupid.
2003-01-21.txt:11:03:50: <lament> I can, I guess.
2003-01-21.txt:11:04:44: <lament> problematic on 8-bit brainfuck machines.
2003-01-21.txt:11:05:15: <dbc> well, you can keep both numerator and denominator as strings of binary or decimal digits, one per cell. Probably faster anyway.
2003-01-21.txt:11:06:17: <lament> I think I just suck at brainfuck.
2003-01-21.txt:11:07:25: <dbc> Oh. That would be unfortunate.
2003-01-21.txt:11:07:45: <dbc> Does brainfuck exist?
2003-01-21.txt:11:09:15: <lament> no, but it seems to have teeth anyway.
2003-01-21.txt:11:13:36: <dbc> *8)#
2003-01-21.txt:11:13:59: <lament> that looks like a Dr. Seuss character.
2003-01-21.txt:11:14:25: <dbc> Self-portrait. There's another on my web page now.
2003-01-21.txt:11:15:10: <lament> You look like a Dr. Seuss character? Cool
2003-01-21.txt:11:15:39: <dbc> (which is the 22nd google response for "brainfuck")
2003-01-21.txt:11:16:28: <dbc> (must depart)
2003-01-21.txt:11:16:31: <dbc> (see you)
2003-01-21.txt:11:18:08: <lament> goodbye.
2003-01-21.txt:11:23:29: <fizzie> according to googlism, 'brainfuck is not sexy', 'brainfuck is the ultimate sexual experience', 'brainfuck is too obviously evil', 'brainfuck is too obviously evil' and 'brainfuck is now'.
2003-01-21.txt:11:23:51: <lament> googlism?
2003-01-21.txt:11:28:10: <fizzie> googlism.com, which has recently acquired annoying popups. you give it a word or two, and it searches google and returns 'foo is bar'-style sentences.
2003-01-21.txt:11:28:40: <fizzie> according to googlism, I personally am "60 mm in diameter and each weighs over 5 oz"
2003-01-21.txt:11:32:34: <lament> Amazing.
2003-01-21.txt:11:32:36: <lament> "lament is the cheat and a dirty bastard"
2003-01-21.txt:11:33:09: <lament> "lament is that we put undergraduates through three years of lecture"
2003-01-21.txt:11:33:37: <lament> "brainfuck is better than"
2003-01-21.txt:11:33:43: <lament> heh.
2003-01-21.txt:11:58:51: <dbc> Have a look at the responses for "bush".
2003-01-21.txt:11:59:09: <lament> hmm, i can imagine
2003-01-21.txt:11:59:28: <dbc> bush is engaged in feverish diplomacy to stop an india
2003-01-21.txt:11:59:40: <dbc> bush is glad
2003-01-21.txt:12:00:11: <lament> I like how the first 4 responses are inflammatory.
2003-01-21.txt:12:00:49: <dbc> bush is the
