<ELLIOTTCABLE> hi
<purr> ELLIOTTCABLE: hi!
<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: how's it going
<whitequark> ELLIOTTCABLE: old things in general include a lot of neatness which is unused today
<whitequark> e.g. gcode, which is interpreted by pretty much all CAM software as the lowest common denominator of all machines
<whitequark> ie basically they only leave "fast feed" "straight feed" and "arc feed" out of 200+ commands
<whitequark> I hate everything
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: lolol neat place for clothes
<purr> lolol
<glowcoil> whitequark: ya me too
<ELLIOTTCABLE> alexgordon: showering, walking dogs, pondering food
<ELLIOTTCABLE> whitequark: what?
<whitequark> ELLIOTTCABLE: you are really annoying. when you say "what?", include the specific part which you don't understand
<whitequark> I have no fucking clue what context puzzled you so much otherwise
<ELLIOTTCABLE> what ‘leaves’ only those commands.
<whitequark> oh
<ELLIOTTCABLE> as in, they don't use those three?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> or something?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> was confused by verbiage, not concept.
<whitequark> yeah, CAM software doesn't use them
<whitequark> because it wants to reinvent them
<whitequark> it's marginally useful but also leaves the CNC controller to implement a standard 98% of which is unused
<whitequark> it's broken in a multitude of ways
<whitequark> *everything* is broken in a multitude of ways
<ELLIOTTCABLE> oh
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I read it backwards, then
<ELLIOTTCABLE> you're saying 197 out of 200 are unused by the higher-level abstractions, not vice-versa.
<whitequark> yes
<whitequark> I will nevar get tired of Chiri-chan with a shovel. nevar.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wat
<whitequark> it accurately describes my emotions in relation to computers right now.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> brb ordering an pizza so I don't have to leave tonight
<ELLIOTTCABLE> BTW, whitequark, if it makes you feel any better,
<ELLIOTTCABLE> you're not the only person who has that gripe with me.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> My ex always chewed me out for ‘not including the context.’
<ELLIOTTCABLE> “OH MY GOD THEY WON”
<ELLIOTTCABLE> “Context, Elliott. Who won. What did they win. Why are you telling me.”
<ELLIOTTCABLE> “SHIT IT BROKE”
* ELLIOTTCABLE “CONTEXT, ELLIOTT.”
<ELLIOTTCABLE> all day erday
<whitequark> so I'm just like elliott's ex.
<whitequark> great.
<purr> LOL
<whitequark> what's funny about it?
<whitequark> prototypes typically look like that
<alexgordon> the telephone
<alexgordon> plugged into a motherboard
<alexgordon> or whatever that actually is
<whitequark> that's a modem, most likely
<alexgordon> big modem
<whitequark> a typically sized modem
<whitequark> I've made a similar circuit earlier, you can actually put in a handset and capture audio
<whitequark> or maybe the modem is that white thing in background, idk
<whitequark> why would they disassemble the phone then
<alexgordon> I would have loved to worked on the original iphone
jesusabdullah has joined #elliottcable
<ELLIOTTCABLE> 'allo, alexgordon
<alexgordon> yo
<ELLIOTTCABLE> fucking alexgordon and whitequark have such similar-looking names
<ELLIOTTCABLE> it always takes me inordinate amounts of time to decode a conversation between the two of you
<alexgordon> o_o
<ELLIOTTCABLE> alexgordon: TITLE-CASE YOUR NAME, GO
alexgordon is now known as aleXgordoN
<ELLIOTTCABLE> that works
<whitequark> wow, coolant is awesome
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wassat
<ELLIOTTCABLE> actually, with ANYBODY ELSE, I'd expect that to be the name of a framework or library
<ELLIOTTCABLE> with you, you probably literally mean physical coolant-liquid is awesome.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: you here, at the moment?
<whitequark> ELLIOTTCABLE: exactly
<whitequark> lemme show
<whitequark> do you see that goddamn fucking mirror finish?
<whitequark> it took me 11 endmills and about thirty attempts to produce that
<ELLIOTTCABLE> what're you milling? :D
<whitequark> a fucking box
<whitequark> basically, for soaking PCB there
<whitequark> for several operations... etching, plating, maybe more
<whitequark> will glue with epoxy and perhaps waterproof with silicone germetic
<whitequark> no, that's a wrong word
<whitequark> with silicone waterproofing compound, according to my dictionary.
<whitequark> okay.
<whitequark> english is straightforward.
<whitequark> <3 straightforward English
<purr> Let it be known that whitequark hearts straightforward English.
* ELLIOTTCABLE laughs
<whitequark> what?
<whitequark> I find English very straightforward and easy to learn
<whitequark> without sarcasm
<whitequark> in that regard, I like it much much better than Russian
* ELLIOTTCABLE grins
<whitequark> I know some of you ungrateful pigs don't understand just how good it is and complain
<purr> <alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE actually has only one sperm, but it is very effective
<ELLIOTTCABLE> very.
<aleXgordoN> LOL
<purr> LOL
<ELLIOTTCABLE> it's like the Master Ball
<purr> <joelteon> he doesn't even know the brilliant math things i have been saying for the past half hour. YOUR LOSS FAGGOT
malia has joined #elliottcable
<ELLIOTTCABLE> joelteon: brilliant math things
<malia> ELLIOTTCABLE: sorry for the misunderstanding with some guy cannot remember name who thought I was spamming the book. I mentioned it just really to you--directed remark to you. Thought you would like to know what I had published.
* ELLIOTTCABLE nods
<ELLIOTTCABLE> not angry at you, at all

<ELLIOTTCABLE> wat
<ELLIOTTCABLE> hi, all.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> aleXgordoN: what's your timeline, right now?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wish irccloud had a “show the time in this user's timezone” feature.
<aleXgordoN> whitequark: TMI.
<whitequark> ELLIOTTCABLE: /ctcp ELLIOTTCABLE time
<whitequark> aleXgordoN: I mean out of all the crevices of my CNC
<aleXgordoN> ELLIOTTCABLE: 3am
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ick
<aleXgordoN> whitequark: what you do with your girlfriend is your own business
<ELLIOTTCABLE> whitequark: only works if their system isn't in GMT
<ELLIOTTCABLE> alex's just reports GMT to me, and I know he's -1
<aleXgordoN> ELLIOTTCABLE: -1?
<aleXgordoN> we're on UTC+0 right now
<ELLIOTTCABLE> oh
<ELLIOTTCABLE> then ignore me (=
<aleXgordoN> when the clocks go forward we'll be on UTC+1
<ELLIOTTCABLE> shows how much I know.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Plugging in a display, and going from HiDPI to standard, is eye-wrenching.
<aleXgordoN> ELLIOTTCABLE: GMT is greenwich mean time. Greenwich is in london :P
<ELLIOTTCABLE> it actually makes reading painful. /=
<ELLIOTTCABLE> aleXgordoN: I thought Greenwich was in Sweden or something. :P
<aleXgordoN> (pronounced gren-itch, not green-witch)
<ELLIOTTCABLE> that much I knew.
<aleXgordoN> ELLIOTTCABLE: now pronounce bicester
<ELLIOTTCABLE> “Bichester?”
* ELLIOTTCABLE shrugs
<purr> ¯\(º_o)/¯
<aleXgordoN> "bista"
<ELLIOTTCABLE> lol english
<purr> lol
<aleXgordoN> don't ask.
<whitequark> oh god my hand is so tired
<aleXgordoN> whitequark: TMI.
<whitequark> I really need to automate this
<whitequark> some kind of hose
<aleXgordoN> TMI TMITMI
<whitequark> and a pump
<ELLIOTTCABLE> omfgtmi
<ELLIOTTCABLE> GUYS
<ELLIOTTCABLE> FROZEN
<ELLIOTTCABLE> GODDAMNIT GLOWCOIL WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS CORRECT ABOUT EVERYTHING.
<whitequark> lesbians?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> what?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> no, frozen soundtrack
<aleXgordoN> glowcoil is a lesbian?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> or did you mean,
<whitequark> oh
<whitequark> I thought
<ELLIOTTCABLE> “Why is Micah always right about everything?” “Because lesbians.”
<whitequark> the movie
<ohhmaar> lol
<whitequark> I think Micah mentioned something about the movie and lesbian subtext
<ELLIOTTCABLE> missed that, then o_O
<ELLIOTTCABLE> was there even a female lead that wasn't the main character's sister? no.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> so how the fuck lesbian
<ELLIOTTCABLE> unless he means incestuous lesbian subtext
<ELLIOTTCABLE> which is *way* more hot
<whitequark> after kill la kill I won't be surprised
<whitequark> wait, way more hot?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> dancing at my standing-desk, in front of my wide-open floor-to-ceiling windows
<ELLIOTTCABLE> to Frozen.
<whitequark> I agree, but isn't that weird?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I probably look like a nutjob from down on the street.
<whitequark> you look like a nutjob even from 20,000km
<ELLIOTTCABLE> weird as in taboo? yes. weird as in actually in any way wrong or negative? no.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> That one time that whitequark satellites.
<whitequark> well, there *is* the genetics thing
<whitequark> but otherwise yeah
<whitequark> I mean, it's weird that you also find lesbian incest hot
<whitequark> way more hot than regular lesbians are
<whitequark> aleXgordoN: where's your "TMI" ?
<aleXgordoN> whitequark: lesbian sex isn't real sex
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Oh, it's clearly wrong in a literal, physical enacting sort of way. As in, literally, genetically a mistake.
* aleXgordoN runs away
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Just like “BDSM” is terribly fucked-up as a real thing, but extremely hot as a sexual fetish.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> “It's not sex if there's no penetration with a penis!”
<ELLIOTTCABLE> So, it's not rape if he just fingers her, aleXgordoN?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> What about gay guys and butts? No penis-in-vagina … but is it still okay, because a penis penetrates something? :P
<aleXgordoN> [for the record, that was a joke]
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I know, I just enjoy fucking with you.
reckless has joined #elliottcable
<ELLIOTTCABLE> you shameless troll you.
<reckless> that was the weirdest captcha
<reckless> oh dammit I shoulda used my twitter name
<ELLIOTTCABLE> it's cool.
<aleXgordoN> ELLIOTTCABLE: compare and contrast: lesbian sex and foreplay
<ELLIOTTCABLE> it always surprises me to see who already has persistent IRC bouncers, and who actually uses the web chat.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> aleXgordoN: because fingering is clearly ‘foreplay.’
<ELLIOTTCABLE> or oral sex.
<aleXgordoN> nah oral sex isn't foreplay... is it?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> The “all sex has to end with penetration” is a very childish view. I know plenty of real guys who think that way, and it puzzles me.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Hey, quick, talk about PLT before we scare reckless off.
<aleXgordoN> ELLIOTTCABLE: there's a difference between "end with" and "involve"
<aleXgordoN> reckless: APPLICATIVE FUNCTORS
<vil> omfg this is how you welcome a new person
<ELLIOTTCABLE> vil: This is surprising to you? And you've been around here *how* long?
<vil> I know I know
<ELLIOTTCABLE> … spherecat767, or what the fuck ever it was
<vil> I'm feigning surprise to seem like a good person
<aleXgordoN> damn have I done it again? I'm a fucking liability
<ELLIOTTCABLE> You're the only *real person* I've ever met who had an Internet handle ending in arbitrary numbers like that.
<vil> spherecat1 thank you very much
<vil> it was gmail's fault
<ELLIOTTCABLE> oh, it was 1, so you must have been the first :P
<vil> and I was young :P
<ELLIOTTCABLE> OKAY BACK TO SPEC WORK
<ohhmaar> holy shit, ELLIOTTCABLE you weren't kidding when you said all you talk about is sex
* aleXgordoN commits sepukku before he can scare off any more new people
<ELLIOTTCABLE> by the way, reckless, you'll get taught Paws if you hang out here long enough.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Be afraid.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Be very afraid.
<vil> ^
<reckless> I’ll be honest, I’m only here because web chat. I have a mild allergy to IRC.
<reckless> Paws?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> allergy? you poor thing.
<reckless> Yeah, I sneeze every time I see a part message.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> aleXgordoN: ON THE ORIGINAL TOPIC,
* aleXgordoN hands reckless a tissue
<ELLIOTTCABLE> aleXgordoN: okay. you'll probably be crashing before I complete anything new, here.
<aleXgordoN> NO ALEX. BAD ALEX, KEEP IT CLEAN
* reckless thanks you
<ELLIOTTCABLE> aleXgordoN: but hey, when you wake up, check it, 'k? I'll try really hard to have some new content written by the time you wake up.
<aleXgordoN> ELLIOTTCABLE: I have an appointment with the finite state machine tomorrow, but sure?
<whitequark> ELLIOTTCABLE: "real sex is penetration" could also be something you've been conditioned on.
<whitequark> kind of not your fault
<whitequark> anyway
<ELLIOTTCABLE> whitequark: valid enough point, I suppose.
<whitequark> aleXgordoN: my CNC is literally dripping wet right now
<ELLIOTTCABLE> TMI.
<aleXgordoN> whitequark: got your tube handy?
<whitequark> though it's mostly accumulated in a kind of sludge all over it
<ELLIOTTCABLE> oh my fucking god, TMI TMI TMI
<whitequark> hahahahahaha
<whitequark> aleXgordoN: tube?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> -topic s/.*/a kind of sludge/
purr changed the topic of #elliottcable to: a kind of sludge
<whitequark> no, I took a 1L bottle
<whitequark> filled it with a liquid
<whitequark> and sprayed it all under the endmill
<vil> "a liquid"
<whitequark> mostly water
* ELLIOTTCABLE laughs
<ELLIOTTCABLE> poor ohhmaar.
<reckless> I feel like there was kind of a bait and switch here
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ohhmaar: Give it time, you learn to tune out the puns and bullshit. (=
<vil> reckless: that happens
<whitequark> the best thing is, that is all true in a very literal way
<reckless> well played, folks
<reckless> well played
<whitequark> accurately describing
<vil> I've been idling in here for like 5 years thanks to that very thing
<ELLIOTTCABLE> “Come for the PLT, stay for the gender dysmorphia”
<reckless> PLT always sounds like an STD anyway
<vil> you're going to fit in perfectly
<ELLIOTTCABLE> reckless: wat.

<reckless> Did anyone here hang around on the Io community Back in the Day?
<whitequark> aleXgordoN: don't forget to look at http://i.imgur.com/cS7t0uy.jpg
<ELLIOTTCABLE> reckless: what do you work in?
<aleXgordoN> ELLIOTTCABLE: rob rix is evil
<aleXgordoN> ;)
<whitequark> it's entirely in line with your expectations
<reckless> aleXgordoN: we’ve met, then…?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> reckless: yeah, a bit. I also talked to Steve about PLT *a lot* for a while.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> When Paws was a fledgling idea and I had no idea what I was doing.
<reckless> coooool
<aleXgordoN> reckless: pretty sure you follow me on twitter
<ELLIOTTCABLE> (As opposed to when Paws was nearly complete, and I *still* had no idea what I'm doing. ;)
<aleXgordoN> hold on

aleXgordoN is now known as alexgordon

<alexgordon> research firm discovers that 17 year old boys watch internet porn. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-26779639
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ‘research’
<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: yeah... they installed boxes on their computers that tracked which websites they visited
<ELLIOTTCABLE> that's not even a *little* creepy.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I can't find a thing to order. ಠ_ಠ
<reckless> Well, that’s definitely not an abuse of authority.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> oh gods I found a thing but it's 25 feet
<reckless> ELLIOTTCABLE: dealextreme.com
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and I need a *much* shorter thing. >,>
<reckless> it is full of things
<ELLIOTTCABLE> It has a category called IPHONE IPAD IPOD
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I think I'll take my thing-business elsewhere. <,<
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I love that MIKA rips off Wicked.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I can't even *handle* the gay. <'3
<alexgordon> I'm pretty sure they have no idea how internet porn actually works
<alexgordon> they're talking about credit card companies
<ELLIOTTCABLE> … THAT IS A USB TO TRS ADAPTER
<ELLIOTTCABLE> DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW USB WORKS? DO YOU?
<reckless> The projects link on your site 404s, ELLIOTTCABLE
<vil> sometimes I wonder if adaptors like that are just literally bricks of plastic with connectors on either side, nothing in the middle
<ELLIOTTCABLE> @ reckless
<whitequark> ELLIOTTCABLE: do you?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> whitequark: nope.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> whitequark: that's the magic of ELLIOTTCABLE.
<reckless> ELLIOTTCABLE: you could probably fix that
<ELLIOTTCABLE> reckless: that would take effort, and also the giving of a shit.
<vil> I have a pretty awesome personal site finally http://vil.lv/
<ELLIOTTCABLE> for instance, I would have to figure out how to SSH into my server.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I'm not even sure I know how to SSH anymore.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Does one use an interpreter? I remember that being a thing, back when I coded.
<reckless> no one does, we’re all just faking it
<ELLIOTTCABLE> vil: I just tried to pronounce that URL out loud
<vil> it's fun, right?
<vil> :D
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and now my tongue is a gyoza lizard.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> or perhaps lizard gyoza.

<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: next day?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> my own fault, I selected saturday delivery.

<ELLIOTTCABLE> fat is funny
* alexgordon clicks on the link to find out what asian butadiene is
<whitequark> alexgordon: rubber
<alexgordon> yeah but this is _asian_

<whitequark> what?
<alexgordon> get all uniformed up
<whitequark> no
<whitequark> I mean, the fee would be something like
<whitequark> 1500€
<alexgordon> ...this is a rubber conference right?
<whitequark> that's a tad too expensive for a novelty conf
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wait, what are we talking about
<ELLIOTTCABLE> dildos or industrial rubber
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I thought the latter
<ELLIOTTCABLE> the former …
<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: asian butadiene conference

<whitequark> ELLIOTTCABLE: explain wha
<whitequark> t
<ELLIOTTCABLE> apparently, NVIDIA is selling a SOC with a CUDA-compatible GPU and an ARM CPU?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> seems pretty neat. Don't exactly see the point, buuuuuut,
<whitequark> they sell it for like five years
<whitequark> in 1/4th of all smartphones and tablets.
<eligrey> eligrey: at $200 youre getting a really good board
<whitequark> well... this one has kepler, so it's a little more powerful than usual
* whitequark shrugs
<purr> ¯\(º_o)/¯
<eligrey> you could gut out a laptop and put this and a huge battery inside
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I mean, selling it as a development board.
<whitequark> er
<whitequark> what?
<eligrey> instant 3 week-battery chroembook
<eligrey> chromebook*
<whitequark> that's typical. how do you think phone OEMs make their fucking phones?
<whitequark> they buy a devboard from a SoC vendor.
<eligrey> whitequark: yeah i'm talking about personal hacks
<eligrey> since you can't resell creations involving the devkit itself
<eligrey> i know its more for evaluation
<whitequark> tell this to ec, I know that
<ELLIOTTCABLE> lol.
<purr> lol
<whitequark> this is basically
<whitequark> samsung galaxy s ii in form of a devboard
<whitequark> it's almost exactly equivalent in specs, except display mostly
<whitequark> and I believe no GSM, but who the fuck even needs that
<eligrey> i have the first odroid
<ELLIOTTCABLE> does that even have cellular data? o_O
<eligrey> oh no not first
<eligrey> the x2
<whitequark> ELLIOTTCABLE: no
<whitequark> because fcc
<whitequark> well, no, not actually, not fcc.
<whitequark> rather regional variations.
<whitequark> there's like five of them and hardkernel (samsung actually) can't be arsed making five distinct devboards
<ELLIOTTCABLE> lol
<whitequark> hardkernel = samsung
<whitequark> essentially
<whitequark> eligrey: x2 is boring
sharkbot has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<ELLIOTTCABLE> what on earth is the *purpose* of that
sharkbot has joined #elliottcable
<whitequark> of what?
<whitequark> x2? or a4?
<whitequark> well anyway, devboards are evaluation kits for socs
<whitequark> you want to build something using a soc
<whitequark> but building a board around a soc can be a LONG process
<eligrey> whitequark: it was their best version at the time
<whitequark> and usually you can't easily make prototypes anyway
<ELLIOTTCABLE> er, any of the above?
<whitequark> because say you can't order less than 10k chips (the raspberry pi bane)
<eligrey> btw odroid x2 isnt a devboard
<eligrey> you can make and resell products that just have an x2 in them
<eligrey> the jetson tk1 is dev-only due to the no redistribution
<whitequark> so you order a devboard and wire-wrap your future product around it
<whitequark> like that apple pic you posted earlier
<whitequark> then you squish that into a fancy case
<ELLIOTTCABLE> shit.
<whitequark> what?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I can't remember what the call-pattern staging was.
<whitequark> did you even listen
<ELLIOTTCABLE> “wire wrap?”
<eligrey> this is what i want to make: jetson tk2 (attached to the rift top or on the back strap) + oculus rift consumer version + leap motion attached to the rift front
<eligrey> VR AIO
<whitequark> use a lot of wires for connection, as opposed to a PCB or a set of flat ribbon cables
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Nice.
<whitequark> either of which is much more complex to manufacture
<whitequark> wire wrapping, you can do yourself with a soldering iron and some cursing
<whitequark> usually

<ELLIOTTCABLE> it's intriguing, how much my musical taste changes when my subwoofer is disconnected,
<whitequark> wobwobwob
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and then again, when I'm listening on laptop speakers instead of a subwoofer-less but still hi-fi sound-system
<gq> god fuck laptop speakers
<ELLIOTTCABLE> there's ‘shite’ music I wouldn't ever admit to listening to, that I totally let play without skipping when I'm just on my laptop speakers
<whitequark> ux32vd has moderately passable laptop speakers
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but that gets insta-skipped when I'm connected to a hi-fi system or wearing headphones
<whitequark> like they're not good
<whitequark> but they don't make you puke either
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and then there's delicious, spectacular bass-tracks that I also skip over instantly when I've not got a sub, because it just sounds like terrible music without subwoofers.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> yeah, ditto my Macbook speakers. They're surprisingly passable for how small that hardware must be.

<ELLIOTTCABLE> and alexgordon's “100% intense” monologue.
<gq> and 'you don't understand if you don't know him'
<gq> to which people laugh and go 'okay'
<gq> then they meet or encounter you and are like 'you were right. holy shit. what the fuck.'
* ELLIOTTCABLE smiles
<ELLIOTTCABLE> thanks, I appreciate the compliment.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> favperson <3
<gq> hehe
<ELLIOTTCABLE> so close
<ELLIOTTCABLE> so very close
<glowcoil> oh my fucking god you still think java is a really good sandwich alexgordon
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: wat
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: wat.
<glowcoil> i've been trying for *hours* to get A FUCKING APPLET RUNNNING
<purr> beep.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> god damnit
<glowcoil> THIS IS *LITERALLY* THE WORST THINGS
<glowcoil> I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH
<glowcoil> ON A COMPUTER
<glowcoil> *COMPLETELY* FUCKING UNNECESSARY
* ELLIOTTCABLE laughs
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Java pissed glowcoil off.
<glowcoil> like no part of this ordeal is necessary
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Surprise, surprise. ;)
<glowcoil> so much FUCKING bullshit
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE, whitequark: ... i never once mentioned lesbianism in the context of frozen
<gq> glowcoil: .....i must have missed this conversation. wut.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: right!? I was equally lost.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I LOVE CHERUB SO MUCH
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: also amirite frozen soundtrack
<ELLIOTTCABLE> mostly when slightly inebriated
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: YESYEYES
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: Cherub? yesnomaybe?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: fuck ME I have made so much goddamn progress on this spec in the last 24 hours.
<glowcoil> god i love it so much
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I've been on such a roll. Holy crap.
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: cherub?
<glowcoil> gq: whitequark was just making things up
<glowcoil> gq: slander
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I re-wrote almost *everything* already there, to be at least 50% more understandable and less Elliottified,
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and have already further completed about half of the remaining #INCOMPLETE sections
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Cherub!
<ELLIOTTCABLE> you still Spotify?
<glowcoil> swallowing my pride and installing eclipse
<glowcoil> please fucking shoot me in the head
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: yeah about half and half
<glowcoil> itunes/spotify
<glowcoil> i'm a big what.cd-er these days
<glowcoil> :p
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I don't torrent, I suck at it
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and I just generally don't listen to unpopular music )'=
<gq> glowcoil: i just know lots of crazy conservatives have decided that since anna had ice powers & didn't immediately glom onto hans she must be a LESBIAN. so OMG GAY NO NO NO NO GAYS NOOOOOOOOOO
<ELLIOTTCABLE> my own loss, I know
<ELLIOTTCABLE> too lazy.
<gq> glowcoil: so i'm like. you are not a crazy conservative. all of my wut.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> oh, I forgot
<ELLIOTTCABLE> there WAS a huge gay controversy surrounding Frozen
<gq> yep
<ELLIOTTCABLE> forgot about that
<gq> i mean musta not been that huge
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ice powers? don't recall that part
<glowcoil> *every* 3d animated movei of the last 10 years
<ELLIOTTCABLE> HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY GLOQCOIL
<gq> my parents bought frozen for my 15 year old bnaasodiyfa;oisdyf;aois yfd ARE YOU SERIOUS ELLIOTTCABLE
<glowcoil> has had a homsexuality controvesry
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I DIDDDDDD THIIIIIINGS UGH
<gq> oh my actual god
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I DID I DID I DID
<gq> anyway my parents bought it for my sister so idk
<gq> my parents are pretty nuts so if they dont' freak out about something
<gq> i'm like well dang that controversy must have REALLY been fringe
<glowcoil> but yeah i find a lot of personal parallels between leaving religion/mormonism and both the tangled/frozen things
<glowcoil> as well as toy story
<glowcoil> :p
<glowcoil> (buzz lightyeear)
<ELLIOTTCABLE> lol
<purr> lol
<glowcoil> fully aware that that's wanky
<glowcoil> just some personal meaning i find
<ELLIOTTCABLE> still some of my favorite code that I've ever written:
<gq> nah, glowcoil, i get it
<ELLIOTTCABLE> , canBeStaged = !it.requestedMask
<ELLIOTTCABLE> || this.canHas(it.stagee, it.requestedMask)
<ELLIOTTCABLE> || this. has(it.stagee, it.requestedMask)
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: listen to that song? yah?
<gq> idk if your parents know or whatever but telling my parents i wasn't religious anymore was one of the top 10 most difficult moments of my life
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: sry roommate has airwave control
<ELLIOTTCABLE> airwave?
<glowcoil> gq: yeah they know, it came out kind of gradually i guess but yeah was difficult
<ELLIOTTCABLE> is it bad that I immediately think of Oakley?
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: just the air
<glowcoil> and the waves in it
<glowcoil> in the room
<glowcoil> like yknow sounds
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ahhhhhhh
<gq> glowcoil: mm.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> gotcha gotcha cute
<glowcoil> i just got followed by william shakespaere
<glowcoil> this is the best moment of my life
<ELLIOTTCABLE> pretty sure it's not the real one.
ELLIOTTCABLE is now known as CaptainObvious
CaptainObvious is now known as ELLIOTTCABLE
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: how do you fuckin know
<glowcoil> :c
<ELLIOTTCABLE> daed
<glowcoil> this is the unhappiest moment of my life
<glowcoil> just installed eclpise
<ELLIOTTCABLE> oh my god, the first micahjohnston-typo in at least a year
<ELLIOTTCABLE> sudden bursts of nostalgia
<ELLIOTTCABLE> (nostalgia is fireworks)
<glowcoil> lol
<purr> lol
<glowcoil> uggggh literally
<glowcoil> how is java
<glowcoil> like
<glowcoil> real
<ELLIOTTCABLE> a thing
<ELLIOTTCABLE> a thing
<glowcoil> this is so fucking unbelievably bad
<ELLIOTTCABLE> how is it a thing*
<ELLIOTTCABLE> is what you mean
<ELLIOTTCABLE> it's a thing because humanity is terrible
<ELLIOTTCABLE> everyone: “computers are terrible”
<ELLIOTTCABLE> me: “no, humanity is just terrible at computers”
<glowcoil> i cannot fucking understand how any single one of the decisions on the path to something this bad were made
<glowcoil> also i'm going to fail my physics midterm, which is in about 7 hrs
<glowcoil> because i decided to do this project before studying
<glowcoil> because it's due in 10hrs
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Coming up: http://ell.io/iwjSk
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: school. >,>
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: computers + school <,<
<glowcoil> yeah this, right now, is making me *seriously* want to completely give up on a cs degree
<glowcoil> and just do math
<ELLIOTTCABLE> 'cuz they make you Java.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Welcome to **EXACTLY** what happened to me.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Just sayin'.
<gq> glowcoil: consider how much money they will pay you and think again
<gq> glowcoil: as opposed to how much money ELLIOTTCABLE has because he was born into it
<ELLIOTTCABLE> People hear me say that, and go ‘he must really not have much patience for boring classes’
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but what *really* happened, is that JAVA IS *LITERALLY* EVIL.
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: more like must not have much patience for useless clases
<gq> *classes
<glowcoil> like so, so, so many man-hours went into this non-native widget library for eclipse
<glowcoil> that feels subtly wrong in every way possible
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I just realized the dumbest thing:
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I have no idea what *happens* to the result of a combination, in Paws.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I mean, it *works,* somewhere in the code for one of my three implementations, I do something with it.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> But I just can't remember.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> And my documentation / specification don't actually *say* or *seem to care*. Which is impossible.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Hugely fundamental omission :P
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ah, figured that out
<ELLIOTTCABLE> was being dumb, *Paws* doesn't do *anything* with the results. The results of a combination are not its business, that's left up to the receivers.
<glowcoil> i am going to fucking kill myself
<ELLIOTTCABLE> over Java? what a waste.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> when you could build the next Java replacement, instead. <3
<glowcoil> no i literally never want to program again
<glowcoil> done with this shit
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I'm sorry glowcoil )'=
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I know that feeling so hard.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I'm … rather sick at heart, that I'm back on the computer right now *at all*.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I'm only here to combat loneliness and depression at the moment, straight-up. I *understand how much this shit sucks*. /=
gq has quit []
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: :c
<glowcoil> honestly i think my interests have shifted entirely
<glowcoil> from pure cs stuff to
<glowcoil> pure math, and math/cs applied to art like games and music
<glowcoil> like i'm really really interested in hand writing some dsp stuff and music theory stuff to fuck around with procedural music
<glowcoil> i feel like language design was a really harmful mindset for me
<glowcoil> like, i got all utopian
<glowcoil> i want to just accept that things are shit, choose the least shit things
<glowcoil> and make cool things out of them
<ELLIOTTCABLE> interesting.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> opposite. I want to improve life for people, U/X is my only real care.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> It's the only thing that calls me back to C.S.
<glowcoil> mhm
<ELLIOTTCABLE> it's an interesting thing: we care about the same thing, beautiful product
<glowcoil> it's hard for me to get that deep excitement for that
<glowcoil> that i have for like making art things, and for pure math
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but the *people* I want to produce for, kind of require me to care about the stupid shit, and kind of require you to ignore the stupid shit.
<glowcoil> yeah
<glowcoil> man i really want some audio hardware to fuck around with
<ELLIOTTCABLE> this shit is sixteen *pages* long. ಠ_ಠ
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and there's whole sections unwritten, at least another four pages' worth, I'd guess.
<glowcoil> wow
<ELLIOTTCABLE> if this isn't verbose and specific enough, fuck me, fuck everything
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Disney music :D
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Thanks, Spotify
<glowcoil> ya
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: wicked is coming to slc this summer

<ELLIOTTCABLE> seen it yet? it's goddamn spectacular.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> FUCK YOU GOOGLE DOCS
<ELLIOTTCABLE> “Reconnecting”
<ELLIOTTCABLE> or rather, ‘Fuck you, my WiFi’
<ELLIOTTCABLE> as whitequark nailed it down for me
<glowcoil> have not seen
<ELLIOTTCABLE> doitdoitdoitdoit
<ELLIOTTCABLE> what sort of audio hardware do you want?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I'm still on a hardware-high over my workspace, although being me, I immediately put that entire project on hold to work on this dumb-ass spec.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> keep glancing over there longingly.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> >,>
<ELLIOTTCABLE> smell of solder. static-band on my wrist, having NO IDEA what I'm doing again, for the first time in years.
<glowcoil> hmmmmmm i mean like, the thing that's top on my list is just like a mic
<glowcoil> a nice little diaphragm condenser
<glowcoil> but like, what would get me all wet right now would be some synth/drum machine stuff :p
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I have a Sputnik, somewhere.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ugh.
<glowcoil> oh cool
<ELLIOTTCABLE> from a goddamn *decade* ago, or maybe more.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> when I did A/V shit for money
<glowcoil> a/v?
<glowcoil> oh
<glowcoil> yeah you mentioned that once
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I did post-production shit for a while in high-school.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I don't think I was very good at it. I can't remember.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> man. I wish I didn't hate my mother, or I wish she didn't live in my childhood home with all of my shit.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I was thinking the other day about how much I'd *love* to have all of my childhood LEGOs shipped to me.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and right now, I'd love to go poke around for those microphones.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: if I could find them, I'd totally send them to you. (=

<glowcoil> if i am feeling it i will do that sometime
<glowcoil> it's now in my idea bank
<glowcoil> :p
<glowcoil> haha
<ELLIOTTCABLE> “You can also singlehandedly thank Beastie Boy's album "Paul's Boutique" for bringing us the sample copyright laws we have now. They got sued by everyone (Jimmy Page, ACDC, you name it) due to all the uncredited samples they used on that album.”
<glowcoil> fuck that that's so dumb
<glowcoil> we do look at each other sometimes with that bateman pursed lip face when a good bit's on

<ELLIOTTCABLE> dunno what that is but wow he's rather attractive

<ELLIOTTCABLE> that is the coolest thing I have ever seen.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> what're you up to
<ELLIOTTCABLE> talk to me nigger-genitals
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wow, that
<ELLIOTTCABLE> is the most racist that word has ever sounded to me.
<prophile> hah
<prophile> I'm slogging through the last stretch of my degree
<prophile> it involves... proofs
<prophile> which are INCREDIBLY TEDIOUS
<ELLIOTTCABLE> incredibly tedious, eh?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> computer science™
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wheehoooo.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I can't remember, are you in for a PhD?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> what did you end up doing your thesis about?
<prophile> despite goading from many sides, no
<ELLIOTTCABLE> hm?
<prophile> everyone seems to want me to do a phd
<prophile> but this is just the end of my bachelors' degree
<prophile> my thesis - as it is - is on functional reactive programming without glitches
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glitches?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and I wasn't even aware that a bachelor's involved a thesis o_O
<ELLIOTTCABLE> thought that was masters or PhD material.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> meh what do I know, I've dropped out three or four times. can't even remember.
<prophile> hah
<prophile> well, it changes across the world
<prophile> even across universities
<prophile> most of the UK involves a thesis or a dissertation for a bachelors' degree
<ELLIOTTCABLE> interesting.
<prophile> glitches are an interesting situation which arises out of FRP where A and not A can be true
<prophile> it's quite interesting
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wat.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> don't bother, because I don't even understand functional programming.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I'm this far in, and I never goddamned grokked functional programming.
<prophile> functional programming is easy
<prophile> you just get rid of everything that isn't a function
<ELLIOTTCABLE> forgive me:
<prophile> you are forgiven, my child
<ELLIOTTCABLE> *declarative* functional programming, à la Haskell.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> as for it being easy,
<ELLIOTTCABLE> people keep saying that.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but people also keep telling alexgordon that *Paws* is easy, and he hasn't been able to wrap his head around it yet. :P
<prophile> hah
<prophile> paws is complicated
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Haskell is my Paws. I try, and try, and try, and just *can't*.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> dirty filthy lies, Paws is ridiculously simple
<prophile> what is it you don't grok?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> well, the project isn't, but the core language that I'm talking about here and comparing to Haskell / alexgordon, definitely is.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> simpler than Io or Scheme, even.
<prophile> do you still have... noughties, or whatever they were called?
<prophile> the mysterious metadata thing
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Haskell? I don't have a specific thing, I just get really really confused, really really fast, when I try to follow any of the tutorials or books I've been through.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> A) unimportant, B) yes, and C) no.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> they're still a concept involved in the project, yes.
<prophile> see, that's most definitely Hax
<ELLIOTTCABLE> there's nothing related to them, except a conspicuous hole in the design left there by intention, in the specification.
<prophile> k
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and most importantly, the answer to that question is unimportant to the specification, also by design (=
<prophile> I could teach you haskell
<ELLIOTTCABLE> that'd be rather neat. Another time when I'm not marathoning a re-write of the spec?
<prophile> sounds like a plan
<ELLIOTTCABLE> speaking of which, you should let me steal some of your time to review this for me, and maybe write Yet Another Tiny Paws to verify that I'm not insane, this weekend or next week
<ELLIOTTCABLE> maybe when your brain isn't bent by proofs.
<prophile> my brain isn't THAT bent
<prophile> I just booted completely the wrong VM
<prophile> scratch that
<prophile> my brain is basically a dali painting

<ELLIOTTCABLE> I would but somebody borrowed my trackball
<glowcoil> prophile: i know people who have had disciplinary action due to torrent
<glowcoil> lol
<purr> lol
<glowcoil> (though i doubt there will be a problem with private trackers etc.)
<prophile> glowcoil: I know very similar situations
<prophile> we had one particular case where someone torrenting at the university caused a spike in the national traffic graph
<glowcoil> haha shit
<prophile> but I don't torrent illegally inside the university, I was acquiring an ubuntu CD image
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wat
<ELLIOTTCABLE> seriously!?

<whitequark> ELLIOTTCABLE: talking about bright
<ELLIOTTCABLE> whitequark!
<whitequark> I know a guy who ordered a, I think, several kW quartz lamp, because, quote
<whitequark> "I like it bright"
<ELLIOTTCABLE> hahaha
<ELLIOTTCABLE> yes!
<whitequark> in fact in several days after it passed customs and arrived to him, his door was broken down by cops
<ELLIOTTCABLE> MOAR LUMENS
<glowcoil> oh thought that's what you meant
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wat
<ELLIOTTCABLE> cops. 'cuz bright. wat.
<whitequark> because apparently similar lamps but with different spectrum are used to grow cannabis
<glowcoil> omg
<ELLIOTTCABLE> oh lol.
<purr> lol
<glowcoil> fuck the police
<whitequark> it was... an unwelcome surprise
<whitequark> well, kinda.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> was he masturbating
<ELLIOTTCABLE> he was totally masturbating.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> lol kW
<ELLIOTTCABLE> these are, like, 60W total

<ELLIOTTCABLE> er, maybe 70

<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: "limp bizkit" "gangsta rap"
<ELLIOTTCABLE> well I wasn't listening to lip bizkit *then*
<ELLIOTTCABLE> it's on shuffle yo :P

<ELLIOTTCABLE> (gangsta country, bitch)
<glowcoil> t.i. is more dirty south than gangsta right?
<glowcoil> thanks to genre tags
<whitequark> ELLIOTTCABLE: masturbating, I dunno
<whitequark> but yeah that's very bright
<ELLIOTTCABLE> actually, change in plans, Wooden Prince
<ELLIOTTCABLE> sz 60
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Bartók.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> micah, I suspect he's very, very up your alley.
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: <3 bartok
<glowcoil> wait idk if i've listened much
<glowcoil> accent made me think it was dvorak
<ELLIOTTCABLE> He hits all the same pleasure-centres for me that burial and shit, the obscure-ish electronic music I actually enjoy, does.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Wooden Prince isn't really up that alley, actually, it's just plain good
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: neat i will have to listen
<glowcoil> recommends?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> will have to find something suitably mind-bendingly Bartok to suggest, heh
<ELLIOTTCABLE> most of the Mikrokosmos
<ELLIOTTCABLE> try this:
<glowcoil> does he have classical guitar pieces
<glowcoil> awww not available to me
<glowcoil> ok found one availble
<glowcoil> ugggggh this cs assginment should be done
<glowcoil> it's now very easy
<glowcoil> now that i've sorted out compiling and running
<prophile> what's the assignment
<prophile> and why aren't you doing it in haskell
<glowcoil> prophile: required to use java
<prophile> idris compiles to java
<glowcoil> prophile: recreate a stupid ass game that we have an executable of for reference
<glowcoil> haha ok should'lve used idris
<prophile> i've been playing with jasmin recently
<prophile> it's pretty neat
<glowcoil> we have to turn in the source code
<prophile> well, that's easy enough
<glowcoil> oh hahah
<prophile> you compile to the JVM then decompile it with JD :D
<glowcoil> hahaha
<glowcoil> we also get points for commenting, and "elegance"
<glowcoil> so
<glowcoil> uggggh this is so bad
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I wiped out all of my Airport base-stations, wiped out my network settings.

<ELLIOTTCABLE> bro. Calm down. You'll do fine. You're smart, did you go to the classes?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Feeling more awake, more productive. Amazing. All-nighters are weird.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Fuck that, brains are weird *in the general case.*
<ELLIOTTCABLE> glowcoil: probably a useless thought, but is there any way I can help you? /=
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: i doubt it :/ thanks tho
<ELLIOTTCABLE> roll hard
<glowcoil> yeah all nighters are weird
<ELLIOTTCABLE> /nick pimpcoil

<ELLIOTTCABLE> The subject of when to turn the subwoofers *off* at night is fairly well-explored, socially … but what time in the morning is it acceptable to turn them *on*?

<ELLIOTTCABLE> purr, your timing is impeccable, as always.
<glowcoil> ok 90% done with CS
<glowcoil> got my equation sheet done for physics, feeling like I know enough from AP physics that this will not be scary
<glowcoil> I'll probably swing a solid B at *least*, and judging by what happened last semester getting a solid B according to the syllabus means I will get an A
<glowcoil> CS is either A- or A hopefully
<glowcoil> survey of jazz is a bullshit easy A
<glowcoil> math is crusin for a A
<glowcoil> my scholarships are safe
<yorick> glowcoil: sane grades pls, 1-10 only
<glowcoil> time to get a shit ton of caffeine
<glowcoil> yorick: where is that
<ELLIOTTCABLE> rf: you listening in here?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> rf: or is that bouncer done?
<yorick> glowcoil: literally everywhere but the USA
<glowcoil> i know france is 1-20
<yorick> and france, fuck france :D
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wat
<ELLIOTTCABLE> 1-10, who does that
<glowcoil> lol i could probably wikipedia for example after example of non-1-10
<purr> lol
<glowcoil> these are all arbitrary scales and calling one of them sane is Losing
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I'm a unit-sanity nut, but even *I* have never seen grades conveyed as anything except A:90+, B:80+, C:70+, D:60+, failure:59-
<ELLIOTTCABLE> DISAGREE
<ELLIOTTCABLE> anything base-ten is Sane
<glowcoil> ten is your fucking fingers
<ELLIOTTCABLE> anything based on a basic unit of human-perception is Sane
<glowcoil> we beat it into our heads and write in its base
<glowcoil> so it becomes easy to think in but
<ELLIOTTCABLE> anything based on a unit of human-perception, and conveyed in multiples of ten, is Sane
<glowcoil> I don't think it's saner than anything else
<ELLIOTTCABLE> … that's clearly not true
<glowcoil> well yeah if it's perception stuff
<ELLIOTTCABLE> by definition, doing the intuitive, easy thing is ‘sane’
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: if we grew up in base 12 etc.etc.
<yorick> ELLIOTTCABLE: yeah, tests are set like '80% is 6' and calculated from there, where 6 or higher is 'not fail'
<ELLIOTTCABLE> doing an unintuitive, difficult thing is ‘insane’
<ELLIOTTCABLE> agreed that ABCDF is insane, by the way
<ELLIOTTCABLE> just had never *heard* of 1-10 actually being used.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wait wat
<ELLIOTTCABLE> 80% is 6
<glowcoil> curves
<ELLIOTTCABLE> not only does it use the digits 1 to 10, but it's **not actually base ten**!?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> that's … the least sane thing I've ever heard.
<yorick> ELLIOTTCABLE: it is
<ELLIOTTCABLE> anyway, NOT MY PROBLEM, THANK GOD
<yorick> ELLIOTTCABLE: 0-6 are easier to get than 6-10
<joelteon> 10 isn't a digit
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I don't make scales (well, except UJD.) I just use 'em.
<yorick> joelteon: it's 100% perfect
<ELLIOTTCABLE> yahyahyahyah anyway
<yorick> wait, what, everything over 8 is A? silly americans, how are you supposed to differentiate 100% from 99%
prophile has quit [Quit: The Game]
<ELLIOTTCABLE> 80%? what? no, everything over 90%.
<joelteon> who uses letter grades anymore?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> again, everywhere I've ever seen. Wow, this is making me feel out-of-the-loop.
<yorick> ELLIOTTCABLE: yeah, 8 is more like 90% on the grading curve
<yorick> (assuming 80%=pass)
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and 9?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> anything over 59% is technically a pass, here.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> depends on the definition of pass, though.
<yorick> 10=100%, 6=80%, go calculate things
<ELLIOTTCABLE> can certainly lose scholarships, or be removed from programs, or whatever, for grades under, say, C-average, or D-average.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but still, only F, below 60%, is technical a failure.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> yorick: forgive me for not growing up somewhere where I was expected to calculate bell-curves in my head?
<yorick> ELLIOTTCABLE: we have gradations of failure :D
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I literally have no idea how to get the value for a “9” out of what you just told me, without asking Wolfram Alpha.
<yorick> ELLIOTTCABLE: it's mostly not a bell curve, they just subtract failures*dificulty from 10 and anything under 1 is rounded up
<joelteon> that's dumb
<yorick> some teachers do bell curves, too, but those are rare
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wat
<ELLIOTTCABLE> failures times difficulty?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> “failures” being a measure of what? the failure grade? I don't get it :x
<yorick> ELLIOTTCABLE: say they set the norm to '80% = pass', then they count the number of points you can get on a test
<audy> maybe facebook will give out free oculus rifts
<audy> like those green stick things in batman returns
<yorick> so if there are 20 points on a test, then every error is one point down from 10
<audy> then I can jailbreak one
<yorick> audy: with a huge facebook logo on it and ads everywhere
<audy> yorick it would be cool if it looked like a book
<ELLIOTTCABLE> audy!
<audy> ELLIOTTCABLE!
<ELLIOTTCABLE> audy, I need some eyes, and a brain. Do you have both?
<yorick> "The grades 9 and 10 are hardly ever given on large examinations (on average, a 9 is awarded in only 1.5%, and a 10 in 0.5% of the cases)."
<audy> ELLIOTTCABLE for what
<ELLIOTTCABLE> audy: proofread and sanity-check my work. I just finished the first Paws specification.
<audy> ELLIOTTCABLE I could try
<ELLIOTTCABLE> -spec @ audy
<purr> audy: Paws' Version 10 specification <http://ell.io/spec>
<yorick> ELLIOTTCABLE: meh, google quic spec is better
<ELLIOTTCABLE> lolthx
<purr> lolthx
<audy> will have a look ELLIOTTCABLE
<audy> in chemistry class learning about heisenberg
<ELLIOTTCABLE> doing some formatting clean-up, because I'm amazingly still awake
<yorick> ELLIOTTCABLE: also urbit specification is better :D
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I am familiar with neither; and making the ‘best’ spec ever, by some strange metric, is not my goal at the moment. :P
<ELLIOTTCABLE> point is, can you read it, and build a Paws, or not?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I'm trying to figure out if I missed anything. ugh.
<yorick> ELLIOTTCABLE: seems like you have lots of interpreter details and not very much actual language semantics
<yorick> why are all your language concepts interfaces?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I've never written a spec before. When I started, I copied a lot of the formatting, style, the whole ‘approach’ from the specifications I admired:
<yorick> ES3?!
<ELLIOTTCABLE> referenced the R5RS, and ECMAScript 5 specs a lot; as well as (iirc) the SVG or HTML5 one, can't remember which.
<yorick> heh
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and that's not the language concepts, that's just the *types*. Semantics that aren't easiest-conveyed as types are down below.
<yorick> it could be that I've never heard of Paws but I still have no idea what it is :D
<ELLIOTTCABLE> important note: I'm super-aware that this entire document is verrrrrrrry heavy on the implementation-details. But that's, again, because I'm not a spec-writer, I'm a programmer, writing his first spec; huge quantities of this were derived by opening one of the various codebases implementing the concepts, and working back-and-forth from the codebase to the
<ELLIOTTCABLE> document.
glowcoil has quit [Quit: Lost terminal]
<ELLIOTTCABLE> yorick: hm?
<yorick> ELLIOTTCABLE: it's a language, okay, with a java-like VM
<ELLIOTTCABLE> another thing this document isn't here to do.
<yorick> do you have a document that does that anywhere?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Presumably anybody reading it is A) somebody I've already explained Paws to, at a high level (of course including the purposes or benefits thereof), or B) someone who already *uses* Paws, and wants to learn how the Paws machines evaluating their code work.
<yorickpeterse> que?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> oh gods, several, but … all out of date, and all *much* larger in scope than the specification there.
<yorick> yorickpeterse: fix your hilights already :D
<yorick> -spec @ yorickpeterse // we'r reading this
<ELLIOTTCABLE> As the first two pages say, that spec focuses myopically on one tiny part of “what Paws is.” a Nuclear machine. Most any other document I can dredge up, or conversation from IRC, is going to cover a bunch of shit largely irrelevant to that spec.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> BUT LEMME SEE WAT I CAN FIND
<yorick> well, fuck you too purr
<yorick> -spec @ yorickpeterse
<purr> yorickpeterse: Paws' Version 10 specification <http://ell.io/spec>
<yorick> ah, so it can do it :)

<yorickpeterse> I TRIED FIXING MY HIGHLIGHTS
<yorickpeterse> it no work
<ELLIOTTCABLE> “code” examples, very relevant, because they're written in the ‘intermediate form’ that a machine following that specification will evaluate:
<ELLIOTTCABLE> all of those run, and there's a 10th one that doesn't, quite … squirreled away somewhere … hmm …
<yorick> yorickpeterse: you have to exert effort to get hilighted on just 'yorick', I don't know you do it
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ah, here's the work thus far on example 10. Ran into some design faults in my work that need to be ironed out.
<yorick> ELLIOTTCABLE: if you want to see something crazy, http://www.urbit.org/

<ELLIOTTCABLE> oh, yorick, familiar
<ELLIOTTCABLE> was making fun of it with whitequark last night
<ELLIOTTCABLE> forgot it was called that.
<yorick> ELLIOTTCABLE: their VM is brainfuck, but with numbers, and they optimize it by compiling things to specified code patterns which the interpreter detects and substitutes optimized code for
<ELLIOTTCABLE> yes, I know
<ELLIOTTCABLE> looked into it briefly a while back
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I mean, I know I'm batshit. I accepted that a long, long time ago. But at least I'm not *Urbit*-batshit.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> there's limits, yo.
<yorick> it's elegant :D
<yorick> https://github.com/urbit/urbit/blob/master/urb/zod/arvo/hoon.hoon I mean, this is the spec and code for the compiler, written in the language it compiles

<whitequark> no

<yorick> the distributed computing is interesting, I think
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I just realized that, no matter what I do, Paws will now be my *second* programming language. Second to SJS. This is a tragedy.
<whitequark> built-in censorship invalidates any merit it might have had

* ELLIOTTCABLE enjoys the novel feeling of having people in #ELLIOTTCABLE call something *other* than Paws, insane.
<yorick> gotta have a way to stop people from using your platform for anti-neo-reactionary purposes
<ELLIOTTCABLE> what, exactly, does it censor? as a platform?
<whitequark> ELLIOTTCABLE: chinese firewall in a box
<yorick> whitequark: huh?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> oh gods
<ELLIOTTCABLE> reading through my gists is just a horrible, horrible experience
<whitequark> yorick: an API made for relevant agencies to block whatever it they desire
<yorick> whitequark: where's that?
<whitequark> yorick: somewhere
<whitequark> too lazy to find a link
<whitequark> it was featured prominently
<yorick> whitequark: do it anyways, I can't find it
<ELLIOTTCABLE> oh lol. this.
<purr> lol
<ELLIOTTCABLE> whitequark: want to do that. so bad.
<whitequark> do it
<ELLIOTTCABLE> what the fuck is half the shit I write
<yorick> if ( arguments.callee.caller.toString().indexOf('function getOwnPropertyNames') === 0 ) OH GOD
<yorick> functions have a name attribute silly
<ELLIOTTCABLE> yorick: not in every implementation.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and even in the ones that do, not reliably for all natively-implemented ones.
<yorick> ELLIOTTCABLE: they do in v8 :D
<ELLIOTTCABLE> that said, that approach is equally unreliable.
<yorick> ELLIOTTCABLE: also, .name is in everything except IE
<ELLIOTTCABLE> so, *giant-ass shrug* *throws up JavaScript gang-symbol* *gets additional tear tattooed at the corner of his eye*
<ELLIOTTCABLE> still looking for some of that documentation, by the way
<ELLIOTTCABLE> there's also this, which is fairly recent
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but clearly incomplete.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Stopped working on it, to work on the spec you're looking at. 'cuz alexgordon.

<ELLIOTTCABLE> Go finish your project and then come implement Paws. <3

<glowcoil> first slep
<glowcoil> haha
<glowcoil> well rn i'm cruisin
<glowcoil> huge amount of caffein
<glowcoil> i feel great
<ELLIOTTCABLE> dittttttttttoooooo
<ELLIOTTCABLE> gonna go crack open some Paws code and bang my head against *that*
<ELLIOTTCABLE> now that I've impossibly conquered the mountain of this specification
<ELLIOTTCABLE> well, theoretically
<ELLIOTTCABLE> guess that's pending alex waking up
<glowcoil> :p
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: srsly gj
<glowcoil> :o
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I can't even think about it right now
<ELLIOTTCABLE> that seems unreal
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and pretty sure I missed at *least* a couple important things
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but that's just it, its from “I've formally written down a couple of the important things” to “There's a couple of the important things oft un-written-down.”
<glowcoil> ay
<glowcoil> ya
<ELLIOTTCABLE> now, theoretically, we implement. All of us. And then we federate.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and then we bug-squash all to fucking hell.
<glowcoil> i wonder if hands can federate
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and then, we take that big, stable, sane platform,
<glowcoil> maybe i can make a middle ground hands
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and FUCK IT ALL THE FUCK UP WITH AWESOME IDEAS.
<glowcoil> with diff syntax
<glowcoil> but federate-compatible
<ELLIOTTCABLE> bang out time travel.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and insanities.
<glowcoil> ya ya ya
<ELLIOTTCABLE> do some awesome shit with multi-platform federation, the stuff I want to do with Unitary libraries,
<ELLIOTTCABLE> … assuming Paws doesn't die right here and now with me hating programming and not goddamn caring. >,>
<ELLIOTTCABLE> which is by far the most likely situation. <,<
<glowcoil> java style encapsulation feels very cozy
<glowcoil> i have to admit
<glowcoil> like it's definitely worthwhile
<glowcoil> java isn't
<glowcoil> alex and i were discussing
<glowcoil> how OO conflates "logical piece of program" and "data type"
<ELLIOTTCABLE> isn't that the *point* of OO?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I mean, literally, the definition?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> lol
<purr> lol
<ELLIOTTCABLE> OO is saying “I'm going to intentionally think about every logical piece of a program as a data-type.”
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and then derives various benefits from that worldview.
<glowcoil> not really
<glowcoil> like i mean look at erlang, it does the same thing without the conflation
<glowcoil> the original vision of smalltalk was more about messages than about data types
<glowcoil> etc.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> dunno erlang
<ELLIOTTCABLE> while I was at it, I updated the version-history. Wow, that's some feels, right there.

<ELLIOTTCABLE> not enough that you necessarily have to throw out your code … but still.
<alexgordon> awesome

<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: so... implementations?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> hm?
devyn has joined #elliottcable
<ELLIOTTCABLE> this follows µPaws pretty closely. I haven't double-checked that µPaws fully follows all of this spec, but I suspect it follows most of it.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> devyn! devyn! devyn! devyn!
<ELLIOTTCABLE> DEEEEEVYYYYN!
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I specified Paws' Nucleus. I did it. It's a thing. Come sanity-check and proofread it for me you beautiful Canadian bastard.
<alexgordon> ELLIOTTCABLE: I meant, is it ready to be implemented?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> oh
<ELLIOTTCABLE> yep
<ELLIOTTCABLE> that's the point. As far as I can tell, you can write a µPaws.js-equivalent Paws machine, from that spec alone.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> *theoretically*, without coming to me. Probably, in reality, that's not true.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> also, *none* of the ‘stdlib’ is in the spec. Intentionally. So, you can run Paws code on your machine, as long as it doesn't actually do anything. other than be code. that runs. and doesn't do anything. ;P
<ELLIOTTCABLE> so, go write, and when you find something the spec *doesn't* accurately cover (which is hopefully very little, now), come slap me so I can add that.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> HOME RUN, BOYSSSS
<ELLIOTTCABLE> alexgordon: but before you start anything, literally just *read* it. It should be eminently readable (it's me. I don't do well with “dry technical.”), and I need proofreading as badly as I need sanity-testing/implementation.

<glowcoil> oh god that's java
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I'm spelunking my own code-base, the Paws.js rewrite from last year; seeing what I can do with this.
<glowcoil> was gonna say you couldn't pay me enough

<ELLIOTTCABLE> Atom really is quite cool.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but the vim support is *horrid*, unsurprisingly.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> suddenly wondering if learning vim into myself at a deep level was a horrid mistake.
<glowcoil> i know vim pretty deeply
<glowcoil> but only use it for clojure
<glowcoil> and perhaps haskell
<glowcoil> becuase of indent shit
<glowcoil> it's the only editor with good indents
<ELLIOTTCABLE> interesting
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and disagreed, I hate the way it handles indents
<ELLIOTTCABLE> … but it's me, and a fully sentient editor more intelligent than the additive I.Q. of this entire channel couldn't correctly predict my indentation and alignment habits.
<glowcoil> ya
<glowcoil> you have to admit like
<glowcoil> if you're writing list
<glowcoil> lisp*
<glowcoil> then emacs and vim are really the only options that are anywhere near not fucking awful for indents
<ELLIOTTCABLE> trudat
<ELLIOTTCABLE> emacs, really, superior to vim, clearly, for that
