06:44 klr: BSL just fucks up my mind....
06:44 anonymous: klr: I haven't read it. People here just say it's great.
06:45 anonymous: What does mean BSL?
06:45 klr: Beginner Student Language
06:45 klr: and it's annoying as hell
06:46 klr: it add trousends layers of abstraction so it doesnt resamble a shit ive learned in past
06:46 ijp: presumably if it's annoying, it's because you are doing things you aren't supposed to in it
06:47 klr: ijp can you explain? i thought LISP was only "define" "lambda" "eq?" "+" "-" "/" in its core, now i have to learn all sorts of annoying things
06:47 klr: and "if" or "cond" ofc
06:48 klr: (sicp says the implementer choose which one and both does same thing)
06:48 ijp: klr: the premise of HTDP, as far as I'm aware, is that it purposefully restricts the language so that newbies don't start playing with things that will confuse tehm
06:48 klr: it is confusing me
06:48 klr: and i cant program
06:48 Sgeo: List-of-names is just a piece of English that describes a piece of data that can be described as a list of names
06:48 Sgeo: And a list of names is either empty, or built out of a string and a list of names by using cons
06:49 klr: like why doesnt it return a list when i type "(cons "item1" (cons "item2" '()))" for example?
06:49 Sgeo: Also:
06:49 Sgeo: <klr> when i type "(cons "Hello" (cons "you" empty))" it's supposed to return a list of those two items right? instead it just returns the expression i typed
06:49 Sgeo: Don't surround it with ""
06:49 klr: aah so it's just a list of names?
06:49 klr: Sgeo: im not sourounding it with quotation in the REPL ofc
06:49 Sgeo: I think BSL shows lists as their cons forms
06:49 klr: it's just that im quoting what i wrote in the REPL, it
06:49 Sgeo: Rather than as a list
06:50 klr: yeah
06:50 klr: why is that?
06:50 ijp: Sgeo: that would be my guess too
06:50 klr: it's annoying
06:50 Sgeo: klr, to help you learn, I think
06:50 klr: what the hell, does it help me to learn that it hides the truth ...
06:50 Sgeo: Because a list is really a cons (or empty) that contains an item and another cons (or empty)
06:50 ijp: ? it is the truth
06:50 Sgeo: It's not hiding the truth
06:50 Sgeo: It's a more direct look at the truth than you typically get
06:50 klr: yeah but it's annoying to see it like that
06:50 klr: i want it like normal list
06:51 klr: now another example
06:51 klr: "(define-struct combination (left right))" what does left and right means?
06:51 Sgeo: I wonder if there's an option for BSL
06:51 ijp: klr: left and right are the fields of the struct
06:51 Sgeo: Those are labels for the left and right fields for the struct
06:52 Sgeo: That struct should really be called either
06:52 Sgeo ducks
06:52 ijp: I'll leave these to Sgeo, no point having me as an echo chamber :)
06:52 Sgeo: Wait, no, it shouldn't be called either
06:52 klr: whats a struct? it havent explained that
06:53 Sgeo: A struct is just a container for values
06:53 Sgeo: That has labeled fields
06:53 klr: ok
06:54 klr: is HTDPe2 designed to make you just think of quetsions instead of what it tells?=
06:54 klr: (j/k)
06:55 Sgeo has ... heard good things about HtDP
06:55 Sgeo: So, don't really know how it's designed
06:56 klr: ive heard good things about HTDP, SICP and K&R non of those crappy shitty books have teached me programming, im too stupid for this fucking shit
06:56 Sgeo: SICP is probably a more advanced book
06:57 Sgeo should really keep going with it, I started then lost interest :/
06:57 Haffe: I once taught a course that used SICP as litterature.
06:57 Sgeo is curious about this "meta-circular evaluation" thing
06:57 Haffe: Problem is, depending on how you look at it that SICP is more of an introduction to computer science that just happens to use SCHEME to teach it.
06:58 Sgeo: But I want to take the language that's described in a blog post (that has a Scheme implementation) and transport it to Racket
06:58 Sgeo: As a Racket language, I mean
06:58 Sgeo: That should be somewhat educational, and the blog post calls it meta-circular, so that should be somewhat educational I hope
06:58 klr: htdp doesnt work
06:58 klr: now i have to go outside punch shit to release my anger
06:58 ijp: Sgeo: a meta-circular evaluator is just an interpreter for language $foo written in language $foo
06:59 klr: bbl
06:59 Sgeo: ijp, hmm, well, ok, then it's not a meta-circular evaluatior
06:59 Sgeo: *evaluator
06:59 Sgeo: Well, no, there is.... he implements Qoppa in Scheme then Scheme in Qoppa and runs the Qoppa implementation on top of that
07:00 Sgeo: (Well, a fraction of Scheme)
07:00 ijp: few people ever seem to bother with implementing the whole of scheme
07:02 Sgeo: Well, he wanted to implement just enough to run Qoppa on top of it
07:03 ijp: sure, this is just something I've observed far too many times
07:05 ijp: A)scheme is so easy to implement, look at my interpreter B) well, that doesn't implement all of scheme, it misses {continuations,tail recursion,macros} A) stop oppressing me!
07:05 Sgeo: I sort of want to implement.... some language in LSL
07:05 ijp: but I digress
07:05 Sgeo: Because LSL is a royal pain
07:06 Sgeo: But it would _need_ to have continuations, otherwise I'm not actually reducing the pain
07:21 anonymous: AFAIK, Arc is very minimalistic. And Scheme.
07:22 anonymous: ah... sory, I was reading old chat and didn't pay attention to time
07:23 anonymous: ijp can you explain? i thought LISP was only "define"  "lambda" "eq?" "+" "-" "/" in its core, now i have to  learn all sorts of annoying things
07:23 anonymous: it is reply to
07:23 anonymous: this post ok klr
07:28 klr: i forgot to mention "cdr" and "car" and such ofc
07:34 anonymous: klr: doesn't matter (i don't know why do you think since as I see it: you also need "require"). I mean as I get your speech: you wanted a minimalistic language. Maybe even this is the reason why chose Scheme. And then started to know that Racket is "one of the best Schemes", roughly speaking. And now you see it's not minimalistic. So, it seems, maybe, you should go and learn Scheme or Arc (or Go)
07:34 anonymous: http://www.scheme.com/books.html
07:35 anonymous: also, if you like minimalism, you can like this site: http://cat-v.org
07:35 anonymous: or you maybe aware of it already
07:35 klr: i already read cat-v.org
07:35 klr: i tried to learn C once
07:36 Sgeo: C is ... not as minimal as some other languages, although not really very bloated either
07:36 Sgeo: Oh, you know what's pretty simple? Tcl
07:36 Sgeo: And Smalltalk
07:37 Sgeo: Well, the Smalltalk syntax is simple, anyway
07:43 anonymous: klr: it can be also interesting for you:
07:43 anonymous: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html
07:43 anonymous: maybe
07:44 anonymous: it is not minimalistic, and I don't like everything about it
07:44 klr: anonymous: already read it
07:44 klr: i will never learn programming i better just quit using computers
07:44 ijp: tcl was a mistake
07:44 ijp: (IMO)
07:45 ijp: anonymous: well, LISP as defined by mccarthy was literally just that, but the recipe has changed since then
07:46 Sgeo: ijp, how so?
07:46 ijp: the original lisp was dynamic scoped, scheme is lexically scoped.
07:46 Sgeo: It's an interesting language. Simple syntax, no special forms
07:46 ijp: Scheme has always required proper tail recursion, as it makes certain uses of procedures more efficient
07:46 ijp: the original lisp did not, IIRC, have macros
07:48 ijp: Scheme has also always had continuations, though if you have a CPS conversion, you can treat them as regular functions
07:49 ijp: and that's just if you go up to r4rs, successive standards have changed the ingredients further
07:50 ijp: with work, you _can_ (mostly) boil it down to a few simple forms
07:51 anonymous: klr: why not?
07:51 anonymous: why do you think so*
07:51 ijp: anonymous: because if you decide off the bat that you can't do something, you generally never will
07:52 Sgeo: I can't write a program that takes a turing machine and determine if it ever halts
07:52 Sgeo: :(
07:52 ijp: Sgeo: good job real computers aren't turing machines then :)
07:52 klr: anonymous: cause im retarded and downer

07:54 Sgeo: I think mine are still ugly :(
07:55 klr: i cant even write ugly once
07:55 Sgeo: Imperative is good at easy and ugly
07:55 Sgeo: Maybe you should try Python

20:15 (quit) kofno: Remote host closed the connection
20:17 jonrafkind: Agent-P, is it a simple question
20:17 Agent-P: Kann #java  nicht betreten (Channel ist nur auf Einladung zu betreten).
20:18 anonymous: bremner: something like grammar; You said that grammar reports are too trivial yesterday, so today we see the continue
20:18 Agent-P: It should be a normal question because I'm writing my first program
20:18 jonrafkind: well get to it already
20:19 Agent-P: I wrote a program that takes an array of Strings .. and give me back a String that contains all the element of the array .. I get what I want but ... I get this thing at the end of line
20:19 Agent-P: [Ljava.lang.String;@7aa8198c
20:20 asumu: Agent-P: that's because ##java is the correct channel, not #java. It's a Freenode naming policy thing.
20:20 jonrafkind: thats the string representation of an array
20:20 jonrafkind: so if you do String s; s = s + some_array;
20:20 Agent-P: Oh Ok .. I didn't think about !
20:20 (join) kofno
20:20 jonrafkind: then some_array will have toString() called on it and it will be converted to [Ljava... because thats how java prints arrays
20:21 Agent-P: i need to be identified to join Java :/
20:21 jonrafkind: so it sounds like you are appending the array to the string when you don't want to be
20:21 Agent-P: so what's the solution ?
20:22 jonrafkind: i dunno, paste your code
20:22 Agent-P: i mean I understood what you mean but it's just my first hour programing with Java
20:22 Agent-P: ok
20:22 Agent-P: do you have a link to a good paste website
20:22 jonrafkind: pastebin.com
20:23 Agent-P: ok :)
20:23 anonymous: asumu: ok, but it seems the theme of the topic was "does it matter, lisp, Lisp or LISP?"
20:24 Agent-P: http://pastebin.com/Lj9RPd2V
20:24 jonrafkind: Agent-P, you are printing the result of join which is the array
20:25 Agent-P: yes
20:25 jonrafkind: if you wanted join to return a string then you shouldnt use System.out.println inside the join method, you should do something like String s; s = s + myTab[i]
20:25 jonrafkind: so you build up a new string which is the concatenation of all the elements in the array
20:27 Agent-P: so you mean
20:27 Agent-P: String s = s + myTab[i];
20:28 jonrafkind: put the declaration for s outside the for loo
20:28 jonrafkind: String s; for (int i = 0; ...){ s = s + mytab[i]; } return s
20:28 ozzloy: is there a mkdir_p in racket?
20:28 Agent-P: ok
20:28 jonrafkind: ozzloy, http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/Filesystem.html?q=make-directory#(def._((lib._racket/file..rkt)._make-directory*))
20:29 ozzloy: ah, *more* path utilities
20:29 ozzloy: jonrafkind, thanks
20:30 Agent-P: I get  too many errors  xD
20:30 jonrafkind: did you change the type signature of join from String[] to String
20:30 jonrafkind: the return type, I mean
20:31 Agent-P: no
20:31 jonrafkind: also you have to do String s = new String(); first
20:31 jonrafkind: otherwise its just null
20:31 jonrafkind: im not sure if String s = ""; works, but probably it does
20:32 Agent-P: Thanks :))) It does work
20:33 Agent-P: and now how to get my String but with " " ?
20:33 jonrafkind: s = s + myTab[i] + " ";
20:34 Agent-P: no I mean I get all the strings contatinated
20:34 Agent-P: just like this
20:34 Agent-P: "HELLO WORLD !"
20:34 jonrafkind: isnt that what the join method is supposed to do
20:34 Agent-P: not HELLO WORLD !
20:34 jonrafkind: ???
20:34 jonrafkind: whats the difference?
20:34 jonrafkind: the quotes?
20:34 Agent-P: yep
20:34 jonrafkind: strings are printed without quotes on them
20:35 Agent-P: I just want to learn to do that
20:35 jonrafkind: why do you care if quotes appear?
20:35 jonrafkind: if you really want quotes you can do System.out.println('"' + join(...) + '"')
20:35 Agent-P: just to know how to make normal quotes on Numbers or ....
20:35 jonrafkind: or "\"" + join(...) + "\""

20:36 Sgeo: Every single Lisp that I know of seem to have its own conventions for representing HTML and XML as s-exprs
20:36 Agent-P: Thanks
20:36 Agent-P: a lot
20:36 Sgeo: I forget what that CL library does
20:37 Sgeo: But Hiccup for Clojure uses hash maps for attributes

21:01 dca: hi
21:01 dca: i get segfault while running raco setup
21:01 dca: http://pastebin.com/DvYTgZyB
21:02 dca: version is Racket v5.3.1.
21:02 dca: any ideas?
21:04 jonrafkind: does it happen every time?
21:04 asumu: Also what OS/architecture?
21:04 jonrafkind: ive seen racket segfault on various ubuntu build systems
21:04 jonrafkind: during setup
21:05 dca: it's debian testing i386
21:05 dca: everytime
21:06 bremner: weird. since 5.3.1 is building fine in unstable and running fine in testing.
21:06 bremner: (for me)
21:07 bremner: actually, I might only have run the amd64 version.
21:07 anonymous meant that the interpretation of the bremner words was too probable 
21:07 anonymous: bremner, asumu, do you ignore me or something?
21:08 anonymous: (private)
21:08 anonymous sorry and stopped OT
21:08 anonymous: has*
21:08 dca: i 've build 5.3.1 version for i386
21:08 dca: (in debs) can share them
21:08 anonymous: is*
21:09 bremner: dca: well, I don't really need them because I uploaded them to debian ;)
21:09 dca: okay :3
21:09 bremner: actually, I think my co-maintainer did that revision.
21:10 dca: i basically downloaded the deb source for 5.3.1 for sid and rebuilt it for testing
21:10 bremner: anonymous: I'm not (completely) ignoring you, it just doesn't seem our discussion goes anywhere useful, and I have a bunch of other things going on.
21:11 bremner: dca: that's reasonable enough. testing and sid are close enough at the moment, rebuilding should not be needed.
21:12 dca: should i try installing the sid package from upstream ?
21:13 bremner: dca: that's what I do on amd64
21:13 bremner: oh, from racket-lang.org, dunno, is there a version for testing?
21:13 bremner: I use the sid package from debian
21:14 dca: i haven't found 5.3.1 for testing so far
21:14 bremner: right, but "apt-get install -t sid racket" works
21:17 bremner: dca: I feel like I'm missing the actual problem?
21:19 dca: i was trying to run rudybot
21:19 dca: and it failed
21:19 dca: % sudo ./freenode-main.rkt
21:19 dca: WARNING: collected information for key multiple times: '(index-entry (mod-path "(planet schematics/sake)")); values: SIGSEGV MAPERR si_code 1 fault on addr 0x7f0a7d84
21:19 bremner: OK, but the immediate problem is you want racket 5.3.1 on debian testing?
21:20 dca: yes
21:20 dca: i've reinstalled racket from sid
21:20 dca: same errors
21:20 bremner: oh, racket 5.3.1 is crashing on debian testing, sorry, I'm a bit slow on the uptake apparently.
21:22 bremner: dca: do you have anything smaller as a test case?
21:23 dca: hm
