01:30:58 <clsn> bancus: wow, some of the Esperance arms, even the approved ones, are pretty horrible.
01:41:15 *** JibberJim has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
01:41:38 <bancus> A lot of them were approved before the advent of St. Nigel of the Rules.
01:45:17 <clsn> Just so complex, or assymetric, etc...
01:45:24 <bancus> The Umbra Angeli estate is mine, BTW.
01:46:46 <clsn> Lemme find that one...
01:47:44 <bancus> Argent, a pair of wings abased ... something ... sable
01:48:16 <clsn> I see it.
01:48:43 <clsn> That's not bad; if it isn't totally period (it probably is) it's close. Not bizarre, not overcomplex.
01:50:13 <clsn> House Bacchus is moderately ridiculous... I think the docs I was reading the other day would have called that "slot-machine" heraldry...
01:51:05 <bancus> Yeah, I think that's not legal in Adria anymore either.
01:51:10 <bancus> We have a complexity limit.
01:52:05 <clsn> Oh, there was one I saw where there was some sort of mismatch: the picture and the blazon were nothing alike. Something must be buggy...
01:52:29 <clsn> http://www.billeytel.com/Esp_Heraldry/Display.html?ID=29
01:52:44 <clsn> That is definitely not "Vert, a bend sinister between a key bendwise wards to sinister base and a goblet argent."
01:52:50 <twe> Not the same key.
01:53:01 <clsn> No, twe, not the same key at all.
01:53:08 <twe> All of the twe.
01:53:20 <bancus> Yeah.
01:53:25 <bancus> There's a mistake there.

02:15:39 <jsled> Wow. Venture Bros is awesome again. The ghost of Abe Lincoln possessing Dean, and trying to make out with Hank, thus prompting Hank to call President Lincoln a "'mo".

02:36:08 <kash> do you?
02:36:08 <sbp> er, s/:-0/:-)/
02:36:13 <sbp> only vaguely
02:36:21 <kash> heh :D
02:36:25 <sbp> and I'm just annoyed because they named Xena fucking *Eris*
02:36:28 <sbp> ERIS
02:36:38 <kash> ERIS FREE
02:36:44 <sbp> I mean, the IAU have just gone mad
02:37:06 <jsled> Our login linux box (that basically only I use, but still!) is `eris`.
02:37:14 <sbp> "Uh, okay Pluto's not a planet anymore. And we'll call this other thing that probably should be a planet Eris just so that nobody will actually like it and think it ought to be a planet."
02:37:14 <kash> eris free net has a new meaning
02:37:14 <kash> :D
02:37:37 <jsled> on a tangent, sbp, you've seen `Spaced`, eh?
02:38:07 <sbp> kash: er, also, welcome to Swhack. this is a publically logged channel, so please feel free to point to my annoyance of misspelling my nickname either as a sign of how much of a jerk I am or how much of an idiot you are. more information available from swhack.com

02:39:06 <sbp> what is a saa driver?
02:39:22 <jsled> I only saw a few episodes (of Spaced), but it was wonderful. I've not been int either Office, nor Coupling.
02:39:32 <jsled> Jonathan Creek, sure.

04:01:16 <jsled> None of them seem to think they should use the email alias that all 7 of us share.
04:01:43 <jsled> It'd be "spammy" or something. Even though there's only FUCKING 7 OF US><!!<11

04:12:06 <jcowan> This article treats the phenomenon in the head. For other meanings, see ear worm (term clarifying).
04:12:07 <jcowan> An ear worm is the popular name for a music piece and/or a part of a piece of music, which is in such a manner in usual that one in hearing automatically or that is not one must along-hum it during a longer period out of the sense. Like a worm the music creeps into the gehoergang in and remains in it.
04:12:11 <jcowan> The a freedom of movement results frequently from the use of certain musical plates, for example certain usual three-sounds and simple melody sequences (see also Hookline).
04:12:14 <jcowan> A current ear worm has usually the chance to achieve a high placement in the hit parade.

05:45:15 <sbp> jcowan: what's the adjectival form of "tapestry" if there is one?
05:45:21 <sbp> I used tapestrical once before
05:45:42 <jcowan> Alas, I have no clue.
05:45:45 <sbp> which I really like, but no use reinventing the wheel unless you do a much better job of course
05:45:49 <sbp> fair enough
05:45:52 <jcowan> .oed
05:46:05 <sbp> yeah, guess I'll have to. I've been Googling around...
05:46:15 <sbp> OED doesn't tend to link to adjectival forms of nouns though
05:46:50 <sbp> blast, cookie problem
05:47:01 <sbp> I flipping hate this, why can't they get this right?
05:47:18 <sbp> my institutional server gives me a cookie, but it only works on the OED for N hours
05:47:25 <jcowan> Reasonable.
05:47:41 <sbp> but the institutional server cookie lasts much more than N hours
05:47:44 <jcowan> Otherwise people could publish the cookie, and then unauthorized persons could stick it in their cookie jars.
05:47:47 <sbp> and you can't renew it until it's expired
05:47:58 <jcowan> Ah.
05:47:59 <sbp> (unless you go in and delete it)
05:48:45 <sbp> at least Firefox makes it easier to delete cookies now, with the cookie search thing
05:49:18 <sbp> okay, here we go
05:50:02 <jcowan> It's rare enough that it might just be listed under the noun, not as its own headword
05:50:08 <jcowan> tapestrical or tapestric or whatever
05:50:47 <jcowan> First ghit for tapestrical is you
05:51:01 <jcowan> only 8 ghits vs. 60 for tapestric
05:51:29 <jcowan> most of which are very repetitious, though, and don't really count
05:51:36 <jcowan> "tapestric harmonies" is a nice phrase however.
05:51:43 <sbp> sadly nothing in the OED that I can find
05:52:53 <jcowan> Well, point them to societysuglyson.com for "tapestric", then.
05:53:49 <sbp> they don't take web citations
05:53:53 <sbp> they're old skool
05:54:23 * jcowan nods.

20:02:10 <bjoern_> fixed in my working copy
20:02:26 <bjoern_> I'd have uncovered that once I use the spec to make a test suite...
20:03:07 <bjoern_> be careful with addresses that match this one though, you might connect yourself to a black hole.
20:03:55 <sbp> huh, the mixed use of & and ; is interesting. question, though: why?
20:04:23 <bjoern_> because you typically want to support both & and ; for backwards-compat reasons,
20:04:36 <bjoern_> and scanning the string first to decide what might be the separator is a bit silly
20:04:37 <sbp> right, but both in a single string?
20:04:43 <sbp> ah
20:04:50 <sbp> that's true
20:05:03 <sbp> but the mixed format is rather difficult to mind-decode
20:05:13 <sbp> I suppose it is application/ not text/ though...

20:05:46 <bjoern_> precisely
20:07:01 * bjoern_ wonders what sbp thinks of the == != notation in the examples
20:07:13 <bjoern_> it's the best I could come up with in the 1 minute I spent on it...
20:07:33 <sbp> it's not too bad, though what with that and the " vs. ' thing it's not entirely easy to scan
20:07:39 * bjoern_ needs to get rid of the "The following example ..." crap...
20:08:14 <bjoern_> yeah, I'm not that happy, but it's fairly easy to parse, which is good for test suites...
20:08:20 <sbp> yeah
20:08:21 <bjoern_> if you have any better idea, let me know
20:08:29 <sbp> well, I was thinking about...
20:08:33 * sbp prepares example
20:08:51 <bjoern_> the ' vs " bit is a bit artificial, there should never really be any confusion..
20:09:15 <bjoern_> but without it, and if you want to misread the spec, you could...
20:10:07 <lisppaste2> sbp pasted "Slightly more human readable" at http://paste.lisp.org/display/26116
20:10:20 <sbp> right, I see two levels to specification writing: 1) make it precise, 2) make it readable
20:10:22 <sbp> in that order :-)
20:10:42 <bjoern_> \u?????
20:10:56 <sbp> to make it clear it's a codepoint, not a byte
20:10:56 <bjoern_> Do I look like JBjoern_ or what?
20:11:07 <sbp> heh. it's used in Python...
20:11:25 <bjoern_> There is JPython now I heard...
20:11:50 <bjoern_> I don't think "WRONG" is good here
20:11:58 <bjoern_> for the things, on their own, are not "wrong"
20:12:02 <sbp> yeah, people using Java have so much pain that they try to steal bits from Python
20:12:10 <bjoern_> they only represent different data sets
20:12:14 <sbp> NON-CONFORMANT: was too long
20:12:18 <sbp> oh, true
20:13:08 <bjoern_> (and "right" isn't right for the same reason, the first would be "Canonical", the others would be "Non-canonical but equivalent")
20:14:01 <sbp> Canonical:
20:14:01 <sbp> Non-canon:
20:14:01 <sbp> INCORRECT:
20:14:02 <sbp> ?
20:14:08 <sbp> where INCORRECT is short for INCORRECTLY ENCODED
20:14:24 <jsled> Jython's nifty. It's pretty cool to be able to use all of java's awesome class libs from python code.
20:14:42 <sbp> eh, I guess you're right. == and != are probably for the best
20:15:05 <bjoern_> I thought about "eq" and "ne" instead...
20:15:25 <bjoern_> but they look less like list items
20:15:27 <sbp> != and == are easier to read, I think
20:15:27 <swhask> Maybe you meant: . v
20:15:35 <sbp> eq and NE, perhaps
20:15:44 * bjoern_ thinks NE
20:15:49 <jsled> Soon every statement will be space-prefixed so no bot things it's a command.
20:16:02 <jsled> Then some bot will come along that uses ' ' as its prefix.

20:18:42 <sbp> whoops, I guess 1) and 3) are both canonical in there
20:18:42 <bjoern_> Maybe I should consider having more prose, less example code.

20:18:57 <sbp> nope, I think the examples are very useful

20:19:28 <sbp> and I rather like => and XX. they're very distinct
20:19:36 <bjoern_> yes, I was thinking about mixing them with prose better
20:21:04 <bjoern_> I also considered to somehow split the "!=" cases away
20:21:20 <bjoern_> by going the other way round, taking the encoded strings and stating what the data set is
20:21:44 <sbp> nah. you could have some of those *too* I guess
20:21:51 <sbp> but I like the current approach
20:21:55 <sbp> it's pretty explanatory
20:22:11 <sbp> the only thing it doesn't really say at the moment is which forms are canonical
20:22:22 <sbp> and the bytes vs. characters thing is a bit confusing
20:22:25 <sbp> apart from that, no qualms
20:22:31 <bjoern_> it says to im the introduction (always the first item)
20:23:02 <sbp> says to what?
20:23:06 <bjoern_> perhaps I should remove the octet bits and discuss this separately
20:23:26 * sbp wonders where the EAT Thorn example is from
20:23:45 <bjoern_> that one is coded...
20:23:53 <bjoern_> you need the unicode db to encode it
20:24:02 <bjoern_> and, well, read it properly
20:24:08 <bjoern_> you also need to understand l33t
20:24:17 <sbp> heh
20:24:42 <bjoern_> canonical is not yet defined in the document. if it were, it would refer to character strings, not octet strings
20:24:51 <bjoern_> hence any octet sequence would be non-canonical

20:26:02 <sbp> hmm, actually that doesn't make sense to me
20:26:22 *** jetx (n=jetscrea@unaffiliated/jetscreamer) has joined #swhack
20:26:37 <sbp> since programmatically you can represent strings as sequences of characters or sequences of octets, but when serialising and transporting you can only represent them as sequences of octets
20:26:53 <sbp> so that implies that no serialised data can be canonical
20:26:58 <sbp> which is weird
20:27:03 <bjoern_> but the encoding algo produces character strings, nothing else
20:27:34 <sbp> but it seems like that's a different layer
20:27:44 <sbp> you have canonicalisation of the syntax, and then canonicalisation of the string encoding
20:27:48 <bjoern_> yes... as I said, that's not fully thought out yet
20:27:53 <sbp> fair enough
20:28:12 * sbp stirs bjoern_'s mind
20:28:27 <bjoern_> As I said, the examples currently mix encoding and decoding issues, it might be better to discuss those separately.
20:28:55 * sbp nods
20:29:28 <sbp> okay, I follow what you meant now
20:30:44 <bjoern_> the point of having the octet string examples in there is just that you have to handle both cases, much like you have to handle a literal U+0000 and %00

20:31:44 <sbp> programmatically? yeah
20:32:21 <sbp> and I guess referring to the character sequence as being preferable is a good thing
20:32:34 <sbp> since it stops people doing evil byte-level things to encoded unicode strings
20:32:59 <bjoern_> as for the mixing, I'm thinking about going "if you have this data set, you encode it thusly, and these are other forms of the same thing. you don't do it like $this, beacause $this maps to $that, which is different"
20:34:03 <sbp> "and these are other forms of the same thing, but you don't produce them, only consume them"
20:34:25 <sbp> "and you *definitely* don't do it like $this..." :-)
20:35:33 <sbp> perhaps you could use arrows
20:35:42 <sbp> <-> = produce and consume this
20:35:47 <sbp> <- = consume this
20:36:06 <bjoern_> <!> don't produce this
20:36:11 <sbp> :-)

20:36:26 <sbp> heheh
20:36:30 <sbp> EAT THORN
20:37:28 <bjoern_> you need to concat the <name> fields and read them in reverse order; then look the <value> fields up (the code points), concat them, and read them in reverse order (l33t decoder)
20:37:50 * perigrin wonders when sbp started writing perl in channel.
20:40:15 <sbp> bjoern_: ooh, I see! eastar egge!
20:40:59 <bjoern_> right. it turns out that Stargate isn't a good source for form field encoding examples.
20:41:33 <sbp> hehe
20:41:58 *** tav (n=tav@82.153.8.14) has joined #swhack
20:42:06 <sbp> admittedly some real examples might be good too
20:42:11 <bjoern_> (and I know, I tried really hard to find some formula that involved %, which I could not, so I used RSA in the example...)
20:42:13 <sbp> perhaps from a W3C search engine or something
20:42:24 <bjoern_> a W3C what?
20:42:36 <sbp> like the mailing list archives search engine
20:42:39 <bjoern_> the list search is an utter mess
20:43:05 <bjoern_> and their web site search (member-only, Google-powered) is much, much, MUCH, INCREDIBLY MUCH MUCH MUCH worse.
20:44:19 <bjoern_> so, instead, I should make some examples for well-designed web services.
20:44:32 <bjoern_> naturally I would have to make those up, for there is no such thing currently.
20:45:41 <sbp> right
20:45:47 <sbp> wait, what about mine?! :-)

21:16:07 <Monty> Oh bugger, I don't think I can solve that one!
21:16:22 <bjoern_> huh?
21:16:58 <bjoern_> I think Monty's gotta bug.
21:17:05 <Monty> man now they don't know of script. Human being delivered to say something into earlier this on a Bad Thing in pircbot original is Bender.
21:17:16 <bjoern_> That's at least the third time that he doesn't find an obvious solution.
