mod6: like early 17th century?
mod6: leibniz invented that mechanical calculator right?
mod6: mircea_popescu: ooh. huh. no wonder i didn't see it.
mod6: so cheers for getting them up and going. :]
mod6: glad to be back reading the logs though.
mod6: btw, these logs could use a hh:mm:ss ts on the front
mod6: asciilifeform: thanks for the ada link
mod6: pete_dushenski: hey I did get your message about the weird balance thing. i've seen that myself too.
mod6: i want math machine
mod6: good convo today re: ada/c/math machine, etc.
mod6: is this also related to church-turing's paper surrounding the entscheidungsproblem?
mod6: oh yeah, halting prob, ofc.
mod6: is this like common knowledge that I missed by not attending a college?
☟︎ mod6: putting everything aside, really, I want a machine that will do stuff that is deterministic, mathematically provable.
mod6: i think for me, this is the allure of something like lambda calc.
mod6: im at the point of paranoia enough where if we can not write out our program mathemtically, mechanically, then there is some magic going on in there. and that freaks me out.
mod6: WELL THEN BROSEPH, EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!
mod6: "java has lambdas!!!!!1"
mod6: these guys are crazy. i have to bite holes in my tounge every day.
mod6: bro, if java were a pile of garbage why would a genius like Ellison and oracle still push it?
mod6: yeah dude, clojure won. so go fuck yourself.
mod6: "Wow. This is absolutely hysterical. Sorry dude, Clojure won. Get over it."
mod6: It’s dynamic, we rarely restart a JVM when coding/testing."
mod6: "Your last post shows how little you know about Clojure.
mod6: i think this program was called 'uplift' or something - it guys employeed it to build vms quickly or w/e
☟︎ mod6: actually, we tore our hair out
mod6: i've only used one clojure application and it was a very haphazardly implemented docker-like thingy.
mod6: or are other common lisps actually compiled?
mod6: tinyscheme is an interpreter no?
mod6: immutable data and square brackets?!
mod6: why would anyone do this?!
mod6: ugh. so wait, instead of a general lisp interpeter its compiled into jvm byte code? what abortion is this?
mod6: what is the black magic behind the scenes? is it not based upon a lambda calc?
mod6: i've never fucked with clojure
mod6: been trying to plow through sicp and that compiler book. and ada.
mod6: im tinkering around with lexical parsing with scheme for a sec here.
mod6: hey, im just posting this here so we don't lost it -- this is from funk_ iirc, he never sent it to the list -- i'm told that it "works" but have never tested it myself:
http://dpaste.com/2WTCSHV.txt mod6: mircea_popescu: ah.
mod6: hell, sat there and talk to her for a good while, had no clue.
mod6: i had no idea her vision was that bad. i must be oblivious
mod6: ah, yeah, like having wax fingertips
mod6: you learned braille?
mod6: werd. just something for shelve reference.
mod6: while im rounding out the lib, any mega-b00k reccos on DFA?
mod6: so you can do like `sed s/^M//` or whatever
mod6: oh like [CTRL+V CTRL+M]? This will yield you a matchable '^M'
mod6: this is neat-o. im gonna have to do some jars of those. i've got a lady who knows how to jar, is gonna show me this summer.
mod6: have to give that a try
mod6: "salt pickles like your great grandmother used to make..." yeah, i'd bet i've never even had one.
mod6: i'd go as far to say that I've never even had a salt pickle.
mod6: yeah, the kosher dills. these look to be like water, vinegar and salt for the brine.
mod6: i gotta look and see here...
mod6: normally i have these dill ones. i don't dig the bread and butter ones much.
mod6: this year im goin hard on the cucumbers, so i can pickle the fuckers and make even better sandwiches.
mod6: best with my garden tomatoes too. yaaar!
mod6: i love a good sandwich
mod6: did we find a bundle of the old logs?
mod6: it's almost like the second congress is in session
mod6: holy shit there's a log
mod6: that's about 2x the foundation for sure.
mod6: No education that you could buy could compare to the last four years.
mod6: Something like that.
mod6: Yeah, was the autumn of '11.
mod6 remembers translating all of the original MPOE text from .ro
mod6: well, maybe not best thing, but ~a~ nice feature.
mod6: best thing about irssi, it'll ask you if "you're sure" if you try to paste like more than 5 lines or something.
mod6: took me a while to get my conf setup the way i liked it, but its been pretty much the same now for 10 years probably.
mod6: maybe a good time to take the chance to say; Thanks for all the hard work over the years. I gather that it's far from easy. Salud!
mod6: wow. just saw the news.
