22:19 * MyCatVerbs ponders.

How is everybody, anyway?
22:24 You're now known as TheWatcher[t-2]
22:25
<@McMartin>
Busy
22:27
<@ToxicFrog>
Diseased.
22:29 You're now known as TheWatcher[zZzZ]
22:31
<@AnnoDomini>
Dead.
22:44
<@Vornicus>
Coated in silly string.
23:01 * Vornicus ponders.
23:02
<@Vornicus>
You know how, when you see various scores/standings, and you have multiple people tied for the same score, they have the same rank? Like, if there are five people with scores 5, 4, 4, 4, 2, their ranks are 1, 2, 2, 2, 5 respectively?
23:03
<@Vornicus>
I wonder if that's possible to do in SQL.

23:09
<@Vornicus>
Ah, the property is: each player has a rank equal to the number of players with a better score than him, plus one.
23:09 * Vornicus fiddles with it.
23:11
< MyCatVerbs>
Glad to hear you're all still alive, at least. Heh.
23:12
< MyCatVerbs>
Smalltalk's blocks are isomorphic to closures, right? Or am I misreading how they work, please?
23:13
<@McMartin>
Uh, I'm actually not sure
23:13
<@McMartin>
They're close, at least
23:13
<@McMartin>
But I don't know if you can, e.g., use lexical scoping on them to do things like Make-Adder and other twisted forms of partial application
23:14
< MyCatVerbs>
Awesome.
23:14 * Vornicus tries to figure out how to describe this to SQL.
23:15
<@ToxicFrog>
make-adder?
23:15
<@McMartin>
makeadder x = (x+)
23:16
< MyCatVerbs>
Then almost certainly "yes", right?
23:16
<@Vornicus>
SELECT name, score AS player_score, (SELECT count(*) FROM players WHERE score > player_score) AS rank FROM players;
23:16
<@Vornicus>
dunno if that would work or not.
23:16
<@McMartin>
MCV: Well, you can obviously do it with objects.
23:16
<@McMartin>
No idea if you can do it just with blocks.
23:16 * McMartin has only the vaguest idea of Smalltalk's structure.

Doesn't work in SQLite.

McMartin: k then, danke.
