00:16 | < Noah> | So who's good with Python? |
00:16 | < celticminstrel> | Somewhat? |
00:17 | < McMartin> | Lots of people |
00:17 | < McMartin> | I only have about ten minutes, but I'm a fair hand with it |
00:17 | < McMartin> | Vorn is superb, but isn't here at the moment. |
00:19 | < Noah> | I'm not looking for anyone at this time, but next quarter classes, the Intro to Programming is working in Python, and something called Raptor |
00:21 | < celticminstrel> | There's also Derakon. |
00:21 | < celticminstrel> | Who also isn't here, apparently. |
00:21 | < celticminstrel> | And me, I suppose. <_< |
00:21 | < celticminstrel> | 3 |
00:22 | < McMartin> | Noah: If you want a leg up, the official Python tutorial is pretty excellent. |
00:22 | < McMartin> | http://docs.python.org/tutorial/ |
00:22 | < Noah> | Ooh, thanks. |
00:23 | < McMartin> | Python is the BASIC of this era, in all the good ways and very few of the bad ways. |
00:23 | < Noah> | 10: print "DUR" 20 goto 10 |
00:23 | | * McMartin firmly believes everyone should know at least the basics of it, for when Excel isn't the right tool for a custom ad-hoc computation. |
00:23 | < McMartin> | In python, that would be |
00:23 | < McMartin> | while True: print "DUR" |
00:24 | < Noah> | And C is for(;;) { print "DUR }? |
00:24 | < Noah> | I forget C print syntax |
00:24 | < Alek> | erf. |
00:24 | < McMartin> | C would be |
00:24 | < McMartin> | #include <stdio.h> |
00:24 | < Noah> | Oh, right, stdio.h |
00:24 | < McMartin> | int main(int argc, char **argv) { while (1) { printf ("DUR\n"); } return 0; } } |
00:25 | < McMartin> | But probably spread out over more lines. |
00:25 | | * Alek ponders. |
00:25 | < McMartin> | Python also works as a scripting language, so you don't need to define functions or anything if you don't happen to need them. |
00:25 | < Alek> | any of you ever participate in the Obfuscate C contest? |
00:25 | < Noah> | Well, there's a new Obfuscation contest coming up, lol |
00:25 | | * Alek high-fives Noah |
00:26 | < McMartin> | And then, in Scheme: (letrec ((lol (lambda () (display "DUR") (newline) (lol)))) (lol)) |
00:26 | | * Noah follows up with a bro-bump |
00:26 | < Alek> | pffft |
00:27 | < McMartin> | And, looks like boarding is about to begin |
00:27 | < McMartin> | Later, all |
00:27 | | McMartin is now known as McM[travels] |
00:28 | < Noah> | Anyone played with Inform 7? |
00:29 | < AD[Shell]> | Pretty sure it's fairly popular around here. |
00:30 | < McM[travels]> | Hi, I'm Michael Martin, you may recall me from such extensions as Quip-Based Conversation and Unicode Interrogation. |
00:30 | < McM[travels]> | (Two full-size works, a few speed-IFs, and some well-regarded extensions.) |
00:31 | < McM[travels]> | Since I happen to know you're also active on the ifMUD, it has an #I7 channel as well. |
00:31 | | * Noah bro-bumps McM[travels] |
00:32 | < McM[travels]> | > BUMP FIST |
00:32 | < Noah> | Hey, you're in ifMUD too |
00:32 | < Noah> | I see you there, all zoned out |
00:33 | < Noah> | And I'm in I7 already |

05:46 | < McM[travels]> | celticminstrel: Yes, I defined lol in there. |
05:46 | < McM[travels]> | I could have called it loop but that would have looked like a command I didn't define. |
05:47 | < McM[travels]> | The function "lol" would print the line out, and then call itself as the last thing it did. |
05:47 | < McM[travels]> | In Scheme if the last thing you do is call a function, it actually compiles it into a GOTO. |
05:49 | <~Vornicus> so, um |
05:50 | <~Vornicus> 10 PRINT "lol" 20 GOTO 10 |
05:50 | < McM[travels]> | (define (lol) (display "lol\n") (lol)) (lol) |
05:53 | < celticminstrel> | Ohh, letrec+lambda ends up defining a function? |
05:55 | < McM[travels]> | Yeah, letrec is "let, but recursion allowed" |

12:37 | | * AD[Shell] has been playing gnome-games so much he has found a bug. |
12:38 | < Tamber> | Oh? |
12:39 | < AD[Shell]> | When you play Mahjongg, you can get into a situation where there aren't any more matches. You get the option of shuffling the tiles. |
12:39 | < AD[Shell]> | However, it doesn't check afterwards if the shuffling has produced a setup that has any matches. |
12:39 | < Tamber> | Hmm. |
12:39 | < AD[Shell]> | So on two occasions, I got shuffled states that don't contain matches, and which I can't reshuffle. |
12:47 | <@EvilDarkLord> | Is it supposed to be 100 % soluble? |
12:47 | <@EvilDarkLord> | If yes, file a bug report. |
12:48 | <@EvilDarkLord> | *solvable |
12:49 | < AD[Shell]> | I have filed a bug report. I do this because the behaviour seems odd, having no further prompts, merely setting before you an unsolvable setup. Hint button doesn't work, going back and reshuffling brings about the same unsolvable setup. |
12:49 | < AD[Shell]> | A "whoops, you lose" prompt would have been acceptable. |

14:43 | | * TheWatcher pokes the channel, wonders if anyone knows whether any other languages provide equivalents for perl's trailing modifiers (eg: print "something" if(condition); print "something else" unless(condition); ++$foo while(condition); etc) |
14:48 | < TheWatcher> | hrm, ruby does, it seems, but it's the only one I can find. |
14:48 | < celticminstrel> | Aren't they functionally identical to leading modifiers? |
14:48 | < TheWatcher> | Yeah - 'print "something" if(condition);' == 'if(condition) { print "something"; }' |
14:49 | < TheWatcher> | (I use both in my perl, depending on the situation. Sometimes it reads better as one or ther other) |
15:14 | < Ling> | PHP can |
15:15 | < Tamber> | "...but only on every third Tuesday, and if you've got the right amount of dribbly candles and mouse blood." |
15:16 | < Ling> | Either that or it's just boolean short-cut abuse |

15:29 | | * celticminstrel ponders... given a list of possibly-overlapping lists, how to merge the overlapping ones to remove the redundancy of the overlap? |
15:30 | <~Vornicus> Do they need to maintain order? |
15:30 | < celticminstrel> | Um... I think so, yeah. |
15:31 | <~Vornicus> Tricky. |
15:31 | < celticminstrel> | ...oh. Yes they do. |
15:31 | <~Vornicus> The tool you need is called "topological sorting" |
15:31 | < celticminstrel> | Ooh, really? |
15:31 | < celticminstrel> | Sounds like something I can go look up. |
15:31 | <~Vornicus> Yes. GOod huinting. |
15:32 | < TheWatcher> | Ling: '<?php $x = 0; print "something" if($x); ?>' is a syntax error, accorsing to php 5.3.8 |
15:32 | < TheWatcher> | *according |
15:33 | < celticminstrel> | I think it's just boolean shortcut abuse in PHP. |
15:33 | < Ling> | Yeah, I've seen functionThatCanFail() or die("blah"); |
15:33 | < TheWatcher> | Yeah, that's entirely different |
15:33 | < Ling> | Which I've also seen in PErl so I got it all mixed up |

21:15 | < sshine> | sounds weird... a haskell exam, and you're not supposed to write code? |
21:15 | <@Tarinaky> | Heh. Pen and paper exam :p |
21:15 | <@Tarinaky> | Computer Science and functional programming is older than computers after all :p |
21:15 | < sshine> | I personally don't mind those exams, but I find them weird when you have the option of producing a program the real way. |

22:05 | < Rhamphoryncus> | sshine: the "in place" requirement of sorting is funny. You can cheat it by preallocating your list as larger, giving enough temporary space for the sort |
22:06 | < celticminstrel> | Why do you need temporary space? |
22:07 | < Rhamphoryncus> | celticminstrel: it depends on the algorithm |
22:07 | < celticminstrel> | Hm, I suppose I should try googling reasons why stuff might not be displaying... :/ |
22:08 | < Rhamphoryncus> | Merge sort, for example, you iterate two sorted lists and combine them together into a third output list. |
22:08 | < TheWatcher> | ls -la |

23:17 | < Derakon> | Heh. |
23:18 | < Derakon> | Hm, there's only 16 unique functions in the library that we call. I might possibly speed things up by trimming down the set of functions that we wrap for access in Python. |
23:20 | < Derakon> | Total compile time: 26 minutes. |

23:52 | < Derakon> | Well, even a minimal file is still taking, at this point, at least two minutes to compile. Argh. |
23:52 | < Derakon> | Why in blazes does this take so long anyway? |
23:53 | < Tamber> | Hey, you can only sacrifice chickens so quickly! |
23:53 | < Noah> | And finding them with enough blood is harder than you think |
23:55 | < Noah> | Also, the specs on your build computers...they...are just...amazing |
23:55 | < Derakon> | You laugh, but a coworker routinely refers to sacrificing chickens at a small stepped pyramid we have in the quad, whenever things are going wrong. :\ |
23:55 | < Derakon> | Noah: academic setting. We use whatever's lying around. |
23:55 | < Ling> | There's a secret: distcc |
23:56 | < Noah> | My laptop would be a better build environment, just saying |
23:56 | < gnolam> | ... so /that's/ what the small pyramid in the radiation physics courtyard is for. |

23:57 | < gnolam> | I refresh the chalk circle around my old Dell 310, |
23:57 | < gnolam> | hang wards at each corner of the monitor, |
23:57 | < gnolam> | and do what is needful with the pigeon." |
23:58 | < Noah> | Pigeons is tasteh |
23:59 | < Derakon> | I wouldn't want to eat anything that lives in the city. |
