02:18 <Cheery> I hope this won't contain too much mess. :)

02:18 <Cheery> my head is mush already at this time of night

02:18 <Cheery> need to sleep before I can do any kind of analysis about how I succeed

02:19 <Cheery> looking at quorum closer.. it seems fucking stupid idea

02:59 <eligrey> ELLIOTTCABLE: you can buy l.io

03:00 <eligrey> so then you can tell people to go to ell.io vocally and it won't matter if they get it wrong

05:48 <devyn> ELLIOTTCABLE: remember my 8,192 branch test program? well, turns out it was a bit misleading. I increased the number of branches to 65,536 and I'm seeing actually huge gains from parallelism: on 4 core/8 thread AMD processor: -R1 = 6.0s, -R2 = 4.3s, -R4 = 2.6s, -R8 = 2.2s

05:48 <devyn> ELLIOTTCABLE: but yeah, Paws is still broken, so whatever :p

05:49 <purr\Paws> [Paws.rs] devyn pushed 1 new commit to master: https://github.com/devyn/Paws.rs/commit/fe51a30be7da298294c7baa5b3f7410574d35d6d

05:49 <purr\Paws> Paws.rs/master fe51a30 Devyn Cairns: Update branch-a-lot to stress parallelism more

09:53 <Cheery> ok..

09:54 <Cheery> I hope that post isn't containing anything too horrible. I need to relax bit more to get back to it.

09:59 <purr\Paws> [Paws.rs] devyn pushed 1 new commit to master: https://github.com/devyn/Paws.rs/commit/f57464b90b15612a62c3a514f37504c29a0dd4e5

09:59 <purr\Paws> Paws.rs/master f57464b Devyn Cairns: ctags support

10:08 <Cheery> my return became a function. and every function ends with implicit (return null)

10:24 <devyn> Cheery: what's wrong with just implicitly returning the value of the final expression?

10:24 <devyn> in many languages you can do this: fn a() -> uint { 3240982 }

10:25 <Cheery> hmm.. my for -iteration behaves different.

10:25 <Cheery> it doesn't produce a map like it does in coffeescript.

10:25 <Cheery> you're riht

10:25 <Cheery> it doesn't hurt

10:26 <devyn> that's okay, 'for' can just result in either null or whatever the final expression was (kinda weird, but maybe useful)

11:55 <Cheery> hmm.. the return can't be actually a function, because it's a continuation, which means it doesn't fit the call pattern.

14:04 <prophile> SO FULL

14:04 <prophile> MUCH FOOD

14:22 <alexgordon> sup prophile

14:23 <prophile> SO FOOD

14:23 <prophile> MUCH FULL

14:23 <prophile> I have to get to the other side of the isle of wight tonight

14:23 <prophile> and I'm not sure how I'm going to do it

14:26 <alexgordon> prophile: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cb/Sedan-chair.jpg

14:27 <prophile> a valid observation

14:27 <prophile> get nuck and joelteon harnessed up

16:31 <joelteon> how dare you associate me with him

19:57 <joelteon> so this is interesting

19:57 <joelteon> guys, if a host has A and AAAA records, who chooses which address to try first?

20:28 <eligrey> joelteon: all of my devices connect to aaaa records first if available

20:28 <eligrey> brb driver updates

20:28 <joelteon> hm

20:28 <joelteon> interesting

20:28 <joelteon> this

20:28 <joelteon> this network can *try* to connect over ipv6, but it times out

20:28 <joelteon> so it's really starting to annoy me

21:53 <Cheery> my lisp is alive. :)

21:53 <Cheery> muahhahahahaa

21:55 <Cheery> the c transpiler is a disgrace, strings and floats unusable, cps is barely optimized, just coalesced a bit.

21:55 <Cheery> only the most primitive units in the language work.

21:55 <Cheery> set/get/closures/function calls to those closures.

22:00 <Cheery> I extend the language with hand-written C-code "closures"

22:05 <Cheery> all the stuff that used to take a slot in the interpreter is a function instead now.

23:54 <katlogic> Cheery: you dont need much to bootstrap lisp :)

23:55 <katlogic> joelteon: historically, aaaa first, but lately software does the sensible thing

23:56 <vil> glowcoil: omfg worlds

23:56 <katlogic> ie hammer both a and aaaa concurrently and pick whichever responds first
