@Rainbolt While ce can't say which one is more intense, we can say that "loathe" is more hateful than "hate" because of the disgust part

Mars Ultor

No, I mean where is the question from?

El'endia Starman

@flawr I've typically seen loathe used as a more intense version of hate that typically does include a sense of disgust. It's also worth noting that hate is often used lightly (e.g. "I hate that feeling you get when you're going up stairs and there's one fewer step than you expected.") whereas loathe is rarely lightly used.

Q: Would bear cavalry be feasible?

Over the course of history humanity rode several kinds of animals to war: horses, camels and elephants being the most common. However, bears are not amongst them. So I was wondering, if they could be properly domesticated and/or trained, would bears be feasible as ridable animals in wartime situ...

On the one hand, no. On the other hand, oh hell yes. — Devsman 1 hour ago

Hate can be used much more strongly, as thing not a feeling. e.g. hate speech, hate crime, hate

El'endia Starman

Yes, and loathe doesn't really fit into those contexts.

@AquaTart That may be by design, but it's certainly not normal.

@Ven syntax is too strict

I don't know what they did to it...

It has features I like but the syntax is different and me no likey

Ven

Well, it certainly is somewhat harder to codegolf, but you gain a lot of features for that price.

also ^ff^ is flip-flop syntax and looks really cute :P.

Kevin W.

3:58 PM

@Ven some prices are just too steep for here

Ven

Right. It's probably not good enough for Codegolf, except for some very specific cases. One example I have is this, which I find very cute.

An example of a good Perl 6 golf would be Mad Libs. That's where features start to pay their price, it seems.

zyabin101

@Ven DWIM?

El'endia Starman

@AquaTart Wouldn't that make Perl essentially insane by definition? :P

Ven

@zyabin101 "Do What I Mean", a common perl phrase which refers to operators bending to your will.

Aqua Tart

@El'endiaStarman Define "normal"

El'endia Starman

4:13 PM

"Normal" is, generally, in most cases, with some exceptions, basically what (almost) everyone/everything does/is.

It would be illogical to define my deafness as "normal hearing".

Therefore, Perl is abnormal in some/many aspects. :P

@El'endiaStarman Wrong. Normal means a vector orthogonal to a surface. Which makes Perl very normal since the l is perpendicular to the line

/dev/random is psuedorandom, right?

It's kinda annoying to have to query random.org every time I want some truly random bits. Maybe I should invest in a Geiger counter

El'endia Starman

What else could it be? o.O

Doorknob

@AquaTart You probably don't actually need truly random bits

Aqua Tart

@Doorknob In this case I do

El'endia Starman

Cryptography or statistical analysis?

Aqua Tart

zyabin101

4:39 PM

@AquaTart /dev/{,u}random is more truly random. :)

/dev/random

In Unix-like operating systems, /dev/random is a special file that serves as a blocking pseudorandom number generator. It allows access to environmental noise collected from device drivers and other sources. Not all operating systems implement the same semantics for /dev/random. == Linux == Random number generation from kernel space was implemented for the first time for Linux in 1994 by Theodore Ts'o. The implementation uses secure hashes rather than ciphers, to avoid legal restrictions that were in place when the generator was originally designed. The implementation was also designed with the...

It accesses environmental noise from device drivers.

Aqua Tart

So /dev/urandom is psuedorandom and /dev/random is truly random?

OK

Doorknob

/dev/random is not truly random, but the underlying pseudorandom generator pulls from truly random sources

Aqua Tart

That's what I originally thought

Fair enough.

Doorknob

So for crypto, you can seed a CSPRNG from /dev/random (I think)

zyabin101

/dev/urandom pulls from truly random sources, too, but /dev/random also takes only a set amount of entropy.

/dev/urandom takes infinite amount of entropy.

Rainbolt

4:45 PM

Is environmental noise "truly random"?

Doorknob

It's as close as you can get I guess

Rainbolt

That's kinda what I was thinking. It seems like the definition of truly random just became "too subtle for us to really tell the difference"

El'endia Starman

I actually read an essay some time ago about how true randomness is getting more scarce.

Ven

Not even. They're planning on adding new "symbols".

Helka Homba

5:18 PM

@zyabin101 If you want, though I'm not sure it'd be that popular

Ven

Their isolates uses a new syntax, and the proposed cut/merge/under operators would have their own symbol.

El'endia Starman

Ahh, okay, I thought APL was essentially a "finished" language in some way.

Ven

Well, APL is. Dyalog isn't :).

Sorry, I should've made that clearer...

El'endia Starman

...well, I know even less than I thought I did. Please elaborate. :)

Ven

Dyalog APL is an implementation, which adds a lot of features "around an APL core". It has locks, it has :If, and some other features like Namespaces, Classes, etc.

To get an example of such a web server dyalog application, check out MiServer's page, then navigate to "Applications" > "Tic Tac Toe" and check "show source code"

it shows the classes syntax, the :If, and how they manage their callbacks from JS code.

Speaking of randomness, I've always found it amusing that Apple had to program their "shuffle" button to be less random than "real" randomness, because otherwise people didn't think it was actually random.

I think most modern languages allow Unicode letters in identifiers.

Very true.

PowerShell discourages non-ASCII-alphanumeric variable names, but doesn't forbid them.

Interestingly, though, they're case-insensitive. $FOO is the same as $foo

El'endia Starman

Blitz 2D/3D has case-insensitive variables (including function names), and that has caused bugs for me a few times.

Dennis

OK, I understand why Batch/CMD is case insensitive. But PowerShell?

TimmyD

7:45 PM

Yeah, it's really frustrating.

Thing is, it's not always entirely case insensitive.

Like, escape characters, n for newline and whatnot, must be lowercase.

Dennis

Nice...

TimmyD

Interacting with things outside of PowerShell that are commonly accessed via PowerShell, such as ADSI or LDAP, can run into case sensitivity issues.

Easterly Irk

Does it auto-lowercase or just not care?

How does "How does "How does "How does "Potato time" have 4 stars?" have 2 stars?" have 6 stars?" have 3 stars?

TimmyD

When referencing the property names or whatnot while you're still inside PowerShell works fine, case sensitive or no. As soon as you go to write those properties back to the actual LDAP object, say, you need to make sure you've got your case sensitive property name correct.

@EasterlyIrk I don't think you've really given in. There's still Win 10...

SuperJedi224

Well the nomination phase is up

CoolestVeto

We haven't noticed. :P

Easterly Irk

@El'endiaStarman true...

@CoolestVeto @SuperJedi224 he is being sarcastic.

El'endia Starman

That said, you totally should give in. :P

We'll need a new language: VoteJam

SuperJedi224

@Doorknob But there's a minimum length requirement...

@KevinW. Need a different kind of spread, though.

Or at least something other than "Jam".

VoteButter

Which would, of course, be developed by Büttner.

Easterly Irk

I can't believe it's not ~~Büttner~~ Butter!

@Dennis One more question. Here it says "add the repo URL with yast". I want to do this from the command line. But zypper ar -f URLHERE complains about the missing .repo and fails.

(for reference, the doc says you can add yast repos with the before mentioned zypper command)

Dennis

@mınxomaτ You have to specify an alias after the URL. (A repo file would contain the alias.)

mınxomaτ

Ah, ok. I'll add that to the Mono docs.
