<Phantom_Hoover> elliott, incidentally, I started my explorations again after getting bored of the Himalayas.
* Received a CTCP VERSION from nyuszika7h   * VERSION Microsoft IRC# 2011 64-bit (Windows 8 Beta, x64, 2GB RAM)  <nyuszika7h> Gregor: Windows 8 Beta? o_O  <Gregor> A small benefit of my brief time as an intern at MS.
<cpressey> addquoting yourself?  isn't that like commenting on your own facebook status?  <Gregor> Yup, but I'm JUST THAT AWESOME.
<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
<fungot> oerjan: are you in an aware state when the only hammer you have is for variable assignation and blocks
<oklopol> quintopia: no i'm not laughing at you, i'm laughing because *you're stupid*  <oklopol> i mean  <oklopol> with you
00:07 Sgeo has quit (IRC is taking up too much of my time. I need time to study the Bible and find Christ.)  00:12 Sgeo has joined #esoteric.
<zzo38> Is anyone in here who knows cricket rules and has experience?  <Slereah> What if I told you the baseball rules in a british accent?
<zzo38> I also do not like that it should be disallow just because of too weird. They haveto make up more name so that not everyone has the same name!!!
<olsner> it is from 2002 though, I was younger then
<elliott> ais523: quick, say something funny  <oklopol> something funny hagrea:D  <oklopol> can'tä sopt laughitn
<ais523> elliott: hey, thinking's easier than using the Internet
<ZOMGMODULES> elliott: parents who put just "Chris" on a birth certificate are... like parents who put just "Bob" on a birth certificate.
<Phantom_Hoover> ZOMGMODULES, St. Christopher, saint and werewolf.
<olsner> django is named after a person?  <olsner> thought it would be a giraffe or something
<Gregor> Ohheywait, I can make it a raytracer instead of a photon tracer so long as I run time backwards.
<cpressey> BYE dbc WE'LL BE SURE TO ACCIDENTALLY MENTION YOUR NICK OFTEN
<tswett> Of course, "b" is clearly just "pv".  <tswett> Say "pvottle".  It will sound... similar to exactly the same as "bottle".
[After a long monologue] <oklopol> i think i have to escape this heated discussion before it becomes a flamewar
<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.
<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.
<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
<Gregor> I use LiGNUXFCE+apps  <Gregor> That's pronounced by saying "Linux" and then vomiting, btw.
<monqy> I've only watched bad movies about video game. I enjoyed every second of it.
<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)
<Vorpal> elliott, it was an artful robbery!  <Vorpal> wait, murder
<zzo38> I think I managed to make Stack Overflow work on gopher, now.
<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"
<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.
<Sgeo_> I think she either likes me, is neutral towards me, or dislikes me
<Phantom_Hoover> DON'T MOCK ME WITH YOUR ABILITY TO DIVIDE BY TEN
<Phantom_Hoover> Oh, Hitler! You and your wacky antics!
<crystal-cola> anyway I've stopped ``trolling''  <crystal-cola> since apparently you guys don't like me claiming obviously false and absurd claims
<oklopol> i actually do like sucking
<zzo38> [...] you cannot always sanity, please. I can sometimes sanity, please.
<oklopol> i understand that people had to use twitter and facebook before irc was invented, but now they just feel like ancient history
<pikhq> o.O  <pikhq> There's a birth defect which results in the formation of a cloaca.  <Gregor> It's called "not being a mammal" :P
<ais523> the big issue with category theory is that pretty much everything forms a category
<oklopol> esperanto is just spanish with a diarrhea
<elliott> ais523: YOU WILL HAVE YOUR QUOTE SOON
<crystal-cola> I just thought you might have meant the Ramanujan tau and I was WOAH he weilds heavy weapons
<crystal-cola> http://www.sessionmagazine.com/img/nature/worlds-10-smallest-animals/worlds-10-smallest-animals07.jpg  <crystal-cola> worlds biggest thumb
<crystal-cola> what telnets are there [...] <crystal-cola> where are a list of telnets?
<crystal-cola> (im not a lawyer)  <crystal-cola> (im just making stuff up
<olsner> boston cream pie? sounds related to a cleveland steamer
<crystal-cola> here's a good multiplication algorithm  <crystal-cola> 1010101 x 110  <crystal-cola> well  <crystal-cola> I don't know how to do it but it starts like that
<crystal-cola> 3 = 7/2
<zzo38>    <elliott>    <quintopia> i know it's unusual, but i agree with you both to some extent
<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
<Gregor> Write-only IRC: best idea  <coppro> Gregor: we have that. It's called Twitter
<elliott> AV is better than first-past-the-post, like every voting system apart from the Random Elephant Stomping method
<Phantom_Hoover> Scotland turns from red and yellow to A DIFFERENT SHADE OF YELLOW
[on Sgeo's karaoke] <not_nddrylliog> Sgeo: awesome  <not_nddrylliog> sounds like a japan anime sound track
[on Sgeo's karaoke] <Phantom_Hoover> That is the thing that made me into a gay vampire.
<Phantom_Hoover> Yeah, I went through a whole series of existential crises when I was 8 or so.
<elliott> Top universities now employ people to watch infomercials all day to find the latest mysteries.
<augur> oerjan you're swedish, right?
<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
<Gregor> Google Maps has options for "avoid highways" and "avoid tolls", but no "avoid Chicago"

<Sgeo> I was more of a pervert in Metaplace than Utherverse  <Sgeo> I invented Metaplace sex >.>
<elliott> sgeo do you actually know what sex looks like i am just checking here  <Sgeo> I think so
<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.
<ZOMGMODULES> Vorpal: it's actually called Happy  <ZOMGMODULES> Vorpal: Do not use it.  Use Parsec.  This is the wisdom of ZOMGMODULES.
<oklofok> i hope that isn't child pornography  <oklofok> whew  <oklofok> equally cute tho, have to admit
<ZOMGMODULES> Felix's home page and Falcon's home page are actually the same page
<ZOMGMODULES> scripting language.  whole program analysis.  together at last
<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.
<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.
<olsner> two quotes about quotes about django  <olsner> I guess the worst part is that I appear in all three hackego quotes about django
<elliott_> `addquote <olsner> two quotes about quotes about django  <olsner> I guess the worst part is that I appear in all three hackego quotes about django  <olsner> elliott_: another quote? you're not helping :/
<Vorpal> CakeProphet, the X support is fairly recent. Not more than a few decades old
<elliott> oerjan: but hypothetically, assume a Christian spontaneously materialised during the apocalypse
<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."
<fizzie> [...] So it'll be a while before the boob will touch you back.
<fizzie> You make a fist, shake it at the sky, and shout "why, GNU, why?!" -- that is the standard reportig practice.
<Phantom_Hoover> The system I kind of have in mind makes a flying train a natural consequence.
<EgoBot> hey fhet's zeees OouooH SNEP IT'S A FOooCKING TIGER
<zzo38> Learn to be Chinese and kill yourself
<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'.
<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
<zzo38> Fiddle. It makes a big difference, you know.
<oklopol> but touchscreens should feel like poking a boob
<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
[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.
<ais523> I think I managed something like a one-expression increment that was only a few hundred characters long
<monqy> Sgeo: also do you know how to write a parser  <Sgeo> monqy, how hard could it be?
<Sgeo> I hope type inference isn't difficult
<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"
<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
<Phantom_Hoover> The eigenratio of reality has to be enormous, though.
<oklopol> so about jacuzzis, do they usually have a way to make it it not heat but freeze the water?
[on spiking] <CakeProphet> drugs are expensive. It would be a waste to use them on a random stranger.
<oklofok> what would you ever need petrol for  <oklofok> newsflash: it doesn't actually taste that good
[on petrol] <ais523> oklofok: it's actually poisonous, so I advise against drinking it  <Phantom_Hoover> ais523, also contains benzene, my carcinogen of choice.
<oklofok> "<pikhq> elliott: Americans also have 20 mile one-way commutes." <<< one-way commutes? you have like disposable jobs?
<elliott> It's a Toy Story character, you uncultured fuck.
<elliott> HAHAHAHA NO FNARF QUOTES EVER  <Gregor> Oh noooooooooooooooooose!  <elliott> Gregor: lol nose geddit
<olsner> you should know better than making þs out of wedlock
<elliott_> I'm not even going to try and understand what you're proposing.  <oerjan> i understand it perfectly.  it's completely nuts.
<Sgeo> I used to be more irritated by alcohol  <olsner> Sgeo: you're not supposed to put it in your eyes
* 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.
<Gregor> You just went from "no sexualized ads" to "we have ads for dildos, but they're different for ads for Orangina" X-D
<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
<ais523_> meanwhile, I've been running a program for over 24 hours (getting close to 48 now) which is calculating digits of pi, in binary  <ais523_> so far, it has found four digits  <ais523_> I hope it will find the fifth some time this week
<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
<Sgeo_> "system is fairly sane  <Sgeo_> <elliott> imagine if the roomba was called the Robotic Magic Vacuum  <Sgeo_> <elliott> would you object to that being trademarked  <Sgeo_> <monqy> I mean  <Sgeo_> <monqy> phrase trade"  <Sgeo_> oops
<Sgeo_> Something about faiing a asanity check  <Sgeo_> sanity  <Sgeo_> faliling  <Sgeo_> failing
<zzo38> Sanity is insufficient by itself. Many other things are also important.
<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
<oerjan> i never meta turing.  he died before i was born.
<elliott> oerjan: can you delete that and the meta turing completeness page  <elliott> thanks  <oerjan> elliott: IN UNIVERSO ALTERNATIVO, OERJAN PAGINAS DELET
<Gregor> decrypt 'illustrates the "can do" approach of conservatism in a patriotic way'
<elliott> im going to resurrect rutian  <elliott> with vitamin pills  <elliott> and book sales
<oerjan> adding quotes by yourself is strictly prohibited and will lead to you being banned
<oerjan> as i was filled with zzo38 mystery at the moment i saw <zzo38> quintopia: I am at Canada.
<NihilistDandy> elliott: His mouse obeys the law of the excluded middle :/
<Phantom_Hoover> I go to clean up the shrapnel from a teabag and you're discussing the definition of god out of nowhere.
<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.
<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.
<Phantom_Hoover> oerjan, little do you realise that everything you say and do is part of that great monad tutorial we call life.
<ais523> Phantom_Hoover: nope, I removed . from the current directory
<oklopol> [...] only the hamster's nervous system was tortured. although probably torturing a large logical gate constitutes a horrible thing to do if it comes in a cute container.
<Phantom_Hoover> pikhq, living in the future sucks.  <Phantom_Hoover> The past just keeps coming up to us and trying to make us feel guilty.
<Gregor> oklopol: Why do you have so much experience with hoop-and-stick? :P  <oklopol> Gregor: my fetish: learning pointless skills
<oklopol> such a famous bisexual  <Phantom_Hoover> Yeah, like Marlon Brando.  <Phantom_Hoover> And Caligula.  <Phantom_Hoover> And... Keeley Hawes?  <Phantom_Hoover> I feel cheated by Ashes to Ashes now.
<tswett> elliott: by the way, you're now almost capable of crawling.
<monqy> it was a wonderful dream  <monqy> i died in it  <monqy> that's how it started
* Sgeo mutters about broken toilets  <Sgeo> #toilet is useless  <monqy> is #toilet even a thing  <Sgeo> I'm looking for help with toilets
<Sgeo> Dear eHow: Please don't assume that my toilet works like that  <Sgeo> Or, at least, my toilet looks different
<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
<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
<Madk> #%%:]__t�#  <Madk> do you see that  <Madk> that is great progress taking place
<oklopol> well you know because i could've used my "wtf, you have multiple identity elements smiley" o=oO=O  <oklopol> yeah, i have a smiley for everything.
<fungot> elliott: i have yet to demonstrate that the sml community has less productive power than the real chunk of meat.
<fizzie> elliott: You have become the very thing you fought for!
<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.
<Taneb> Turned out he got recursion, he just didn't get the return statement
<SgeoN1> No nasty sounds for a while now. Going to turn off and on and see if the numbers get worse.
<augur> ive been in #haskell and #agda primarily, recently  <Phantom_Hoover> So is #agda now full of dependently-typed gay sex?
<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
<fizzie> The zipWith Camel, a famous World War 1 era airplane.
<Taneb> Cut to February  <Taneb> War were declared  <Taneb> A galaxy in turmoil  <Taneb> Anyway, Febuary '10
<Taneb> I can't afford one of those!  <Taneb> A grandchild, not a laser printer
<oklopol> doctor who. i saw part of one episode of that and it reminded me of buffy the vampire slayer.
<NihilistDandy> MY CONTINUITY  <NihilistDandy> MY FANFICTION  <NihilistDandy> RUINED
<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
<oklofok> god created the natural numbers, the rationals were done by man and the work was finally completed (topologically) by satan himself
<Gregor> I have a WRT120N  <fizzie> Gregor: The WRT160NL has 40 units more of... stuff. Plus an L.
<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.
<Taneb> Someone with that sort of grasp of logic shouldn't be allowed anything more computationally powerful than a plastic spoon
<oklopol> interestingly enough, go is a second player win  <oklopol> chess is also first player win  <oklopol> tennis, interestingly enough, is always a draw.
<Taneb> Look, I often walk my dog through a field with cows in it. And I punched myself in the face once.
<Sgeo> I'm having nostalgia for when we could see the glass from the floor
<NihilistDandy> The Russian's emblem was the hammer and sickle, not the fist and other fist
<fizzie> Deewiant: So you... reverse the byte order manually, but then call ntohl too?  <Deewiant> fizzie: The host might be big-endian!
<elliott> God, I sure do hate Apple and their header files that only include the functions they're specified to.
<elliott> Do one better! Pretend to be an idiot until YOU DIE.
<Taneb> So... God has jizzed on everything?  <oklopol> have you even READ the bible?
<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
<Taneb> This staircase is very good for correcting people's opininons about communism
<monqy> rest in peace lambdabot????  <ais523> monqy: it'll probably be back later  <monqy> nap in peace
<Vorpal> ais523, how are we supposed to guess before you tell us unless you give us more hints?
<ais523> 99% OF USES OF STRDUP ARE ILLEGAL!
<NihilistDandy> Non sequitur is my forte  <NihilistDandy> On-topic discussion is my piano  <Taneb> Bowls of sugary breakfast cereal is my mezzoforte  <Taneb> Full fat milk is my pianissimo  <Taneb> On which note, I'm hungry
<elliott> in the title of the page it says "Well-Typed - The Haskell Consultants" but i want to know who are the haskell conraisins?
<zzo38> If in some day, I publish some book, that might include some of the programs I have written too, but also some other books, possibly. However I never yet publish any book.
<itidus20> monqy: last night in my dreams I saw a false photo album of my childhood... looking ghostly
<monqy> itidus20: i saw a dancing cgi skeleton named malaria. i danced and played with him.
<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.
<NihilistDandy> Capitalism is a cancer. But I'm a smoker, anyway, so...
<itidus20> Game theory is not a perfect tool for analyzing video games.  <itidus20> Nash failed to create a "video game theory"
<itidus20> australia kicks ass  <itidus20> we have kangaroos and DMM and isn't afraid of anything
<Sgeo> My memory passed  <monqy> rest in peace sgeos memory
<monqy> cigaretes and drunking "lame highs for lame people"  <oerjan> yeah if it doesn't make you go crazy and shoot at people, it's not worth it.  take it from a norwegian.

[2008] <nooga> i'm testing Haiku  <nooga> and it appears that it is a major shit  <oerjan> 5+7+5, not 5+11, nooga
<Phantom_Hoover> Sgeo_, the origin of suffering is desire for e-book readers.
<zzo38> elliott_: No it isn't a game, it is a computer game
<ais523> it actually worked, and faster than using Excel for rendering
<monqy> beautiful summer / fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck / fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
<pikhq> I actually had a Neopets account. I later gained a second digit in my age.
<Taneb> So it's like... Rummy mixed with... breakout?
<oerjan> i try to be a hermit but it's hard with all these housemates.
<Taneb> Well, I'm now experimenting with clients  <fizzie> It doesn't sound like good PR to say that out loud.
<Taneb> I combined the wholegrain breakfast and chocolatey breakfast for maximum breakfast efficiency
<fungot> fizzie: i, myself, will bring an end to all.
<MDude> Tooth or Bear: Each turn, either take out your own tooth, or wrestle a bear.
<fungot> elliott: an old colonel lost, but a new brother gained. together they will ascend, each time you must be adventurin'.
<fungot> Phantom_Hoover: it is a hate so pure and... pumpkin seeds?
<Phantom_Hoover> Oh look, Dax has brought TWO glowy science sticks.  <Phantom_Hoover> SHIT JUST GOT REAL
<Phantom_Hoover> OK, Taneb's been taken by a mood and he needs raw emeralds.  <Phantom_Hoover> It's been fun knowing him.
<Phantom_Hoover> Taneb's been hit by melancholy.  <Phantom_Hoover> He didn't have any friends, fortunatel.y
<Phantom_Hoover> You realise the micromanagement it took to make quintopia encrust my silver throne with emeralds rather than a jug?
<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
<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
<itidus20> anyway, notational systems are a function of the euclidean plane
<ais523> oerjan: I'm not imaginative enough to write truly great slash fiction
<oerjan> sllide: @ is an OS made out of only the finest vapour
<monqy> the classic "souls have mass" hypothesis
<Phantom_Hoover> What is it with Cardassians, they're all really nice and then they hit you with a rock.
<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
<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.
<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"
<itidus20> well, you have bested me  <zzo38> itidus20: Yes.
<itidus20> now theodore seuss is dead... so screw him
<zzo38> What is miff-muffered moof?  <itidus20> that's a tough question
<itidus20> software patents strike again  <ais523_> that's got to be at least three times, now  <ais523_> are they out yet?
<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
<itidus20> combinatronics seems to be the mathematics chasing buddha's tail  <itidus20> yeah.. he was a smart monkey that buddha
<elliott> I MIGHT BECOME GHOST
<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.
<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.
<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
<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)
<itidus20> that shit adds up. have you ever dropped a math problem in the toilet and got an answer back? yeah... it adds up
<elliott_> I hope in the future people curse me for creating such a shitty protocol.
<Taneb> Maybe if you try diplomacy.  <Taneb> Pointy steel diplomacy
<oklopol> i started running and smoking  <oklopol> i love my lungs the way they are so trying to balance them out
<Phantom_Hoover> I didn't realise nickel apparently can't be shaped into a screw because of some fundamental feature of dwarven physics.
<evincar> elliott_: I don't see a difference between a function taking a function as an argument, and some composition of those functions.
<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

<itidus20> lets not wander around the mulberry bush beating our heads
<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.

<Vorpal> elliott_, oh they are people known in the ruby community?  <elliott_> Vorpal: Uh... you mean Hannah Montana?  <Vorpal> elliott_, yeah. And Zed Shaw. Either they are that or they come from popular culture.
<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
<fungot> elliott__: my fnord into normal life was a painful and difficult process. [...]
<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.
<monqy> game where you flip a coin but it's really really big
<elliott> we need more films aimed at the lucrative irc nerd demographic
<Phantom_Hoover> I keep asking random people for "friendship <thing>" and it's crippling
<zzo38> I think Perl is a programming language too. [...]
<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.
<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".
<Phantom_Hoover> FFS, building a perpetual motion machine should not be this hard.
<Phantom_Hoover> Intake flooded with magma.  <Phantom_Hoover> Reactor connected.  <Phantom_Hoover> Pumps active.  <Phantom_Hoover> YES IT'S WORKING
<fizzie> "Do a sea monster while whatever."
<Patashu> But I mean, why fix it if it ain't broke? Except now it is
<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.
<Phantom_Hoover> I'm sacrificing the animals, then I'm going to bed.
<Phantom_Hoover> Yeah, Bashir, just sit there drinking, rather than diagnosing the carpenter mauled in that tragic bonobo accident.
<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

<itidus20> indirect addressing is a facile and inebrious kind of instruction which should be whomped away by languages
<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.
<fizzie> Isn't "strip nomic" just another word for all dating, though?
<ais523> this strikes me as probably better than a singularity, because you can't trust a random AI, but you can probably trust olsner

<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.

<Taneb> Just goes to show, the Beatles are more interesting than green vegetables.
<elliott> Vorpal: who needs cars when you can walk to latvia
[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".
<monqy> in the past few minutes I tried remembering what my dream last night was, but instead remembered I didn't sleep
<itidus20> what is nice about a pebble is that you can process it with your brain as a number by simply looking at it

<elliott> Second Life is like... real life, modelled by people who've READ about real life, you know, in books.
<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.
<Gregor> Hulu's movie selection is like MST3K without the MST3K characters.
<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.
<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.
<myndzi> lol :(
<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."

<Phantom_Hoover> It's like Pygmalion and Galatea but more weeaboo.  <Phantom_Hoover> Also lesbian.
<monqy> did you know: gravity was inspired by apples
<ais523> isn't a neutrino detector just a large vat of washing-up liquid with a bit of machinery attached?
<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.
<fizzie> It's just electricity, how dangerous could it be?
<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.
<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
<Phantom_Hoover> Guys no don't fly a Jem Hadar ship into Cardassian space to shoot things I played that mission in FreeSpace and it never works.
<itidus20> my old 2d game is named either runch or turbo fight.... and its hard
<fizzie> I prefer the N64 controller, it's the only one that has place for my third hand.
<zzo38> The fighting game I prefer is the card game Yomi
<oerjan> i am sorry to disappoint you, but my musical taste is on the side abba, verdi, and celine dion.  i know this may not be popular and that you would have preferred me to be a satanist.
<Ngevd> Dammit, Gregor, this is not the time to fall in love
<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
<oklopol> so you are doing for compilers what imperative programming did for functional programming
<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.)
<fizzie> [...] It's like the future was already here (in all its headache-inducing flickery glory) in the mid-1990s, and then it just... went away.

<Phantom__Hoover> Also you steal Berwick from us and then say you don't want it?  <Ngevd> You stole it from us first!
<monqy> bad people have feelings too  <monqy> but they're bad  <monqy> so it's okay
<fizzie> It's a bit like a regular monowheel, except when you brake too hard, instead of you going around and around inside the wheel, the (1100lb) wheel rolls over you.
<oerjan> <Patashu> But wait what if I'm using a quantum computer <-- there is "quantum entropy".  it's the same except no one understands it.
<Patashu> that's trippy. how does such a thing evolve? what biological niche is it filling? we need to film a mockumentary on this
<elliott> fizzie: It's like a JIT, if JITs were... strings.
(Of Minecraft:) <elliott> So basically I didn't understand what it was at all, I thought maybe you were meant to be like a worm and just sort of wriggle about underground.

<elliott> ais523: those suck  <elliott> hmm, those are all pretty good
<Phantom_Hoover> You know what annoys me about Deep Space 9.  <Phantom_Hoover> It wasn't in deep space.  <Phantom_Hoover> It was orbiting Bajor.
<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?
<Phantom_Hoover> I think the worst part of growing up is that it isn't retroactive.

<ais523> it's not a list of /all/ interesting esolangs, btw; otherwise you can take the first command from the first esolang, the second from the second, the third from the third, etc, then add 1 to all of them  <ais523> and you get a new interesting esolang  <ais523> diagonal principle…

<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.

<Ngevd> It's like single player Hackiki in a way(?)  <tswett> Ngevd: yes, but with multiple players.
<twice11> Yeah, statistics with 2 data points is science. Statistics with one data point is crap.  <twice11> You measure a third point if you need an error estimate.

<itidus20> if only alonzo church would have anticipated the computer terminal...  <zzo38> itidus20: What do you think it would be if he did so?  <itidus20> i just plucked his name at random [...] <oerjan> if only the marquis de sade would have anticipated hospital romance novels
