22:07:50 <[bjoern]> 'u' (universe) is apparently the last word in the klingon dictionary.
22:08:14 <clsn> Yes. The apostrophe is taken alphabetically lastl.
22:10:21 <clsn> I can't think that there COULD be an alphabetically greater word, except for extensions (e.g. "'u'vetlh"/"that universe")
22:10:47 <clsn> The apostrophe is the last letter, and it has to be followed by a vowel. u is the last vowel. And then another apostrophe.
22:11:01 <[bjoern]> How about 'ö' ?
22:11:29 <clsn> Not in Klingon. Bummer.
22:12:52 <Arnia> sounds like someone designed the alphabet and the word so that it would always be the last
22:13:50 <clsn> Nah, doubt it. I don't think that particular joke was in his mind.
22:14:19 <clsn> Though it is possible that it was in his mind when he chose the definition for {'u'}
22:14:43 <Arnia> space, the final frontier...
22:14:53 * Arnia nukes the universe for being last
22:15:01 <clsn> For example, the word for "boot" in Klingon is {DaS}. it even shows up on a page-header in the dictionary: "DaS - boot"
22:15:29 <clsn> Since apparently some of the inspiration for asking him to make up the language in the first place came because the producers/directors/whatever had been watching Das Boot.
22:15:48 <Arnia> that makes sense
22:15:52 <clsn> And they liked the idea of people shouting in un-understood languages in a cramped vessel.
22:15:55 <Arnia> (oddly)
22:15:57 <[bjoern]> It what happens if you watch old german movies.
22:16:15 <clsn> You start making up languages for aliens.
22:16:27 <sbp> okay, time for me to talk a load of shite
22:16:30 <clsn> A nasty side-effect of German cinematography.

22:16:33 <sbp> give me a shite topic for me to shite talk about
22:16:42 <Arnia> clsn: very good for linguists though
22:16:56 <Arnia> 'What is your profession?'
22:17:00 <Arnia> 'Conlanger'
22:17:05 <clsn> Yes indeed.
22:17:27 <[bjoern]> sbp: Leuchttürme
22:17:35 <clsn> There's now a group which is positioning itself to act as the broker, for places making movies or whatever to find conlangers to invent languages.
22:17:39 <Arnia> I wouldn't mind being paid to make up languages all day
22:17:50 <sbp> Leuchttürme is the process of assimilating frogs for making your greenery even greener
22:17:53 <Arnia> although they'd be really warped languages
22:18:02 <Arnia> (you know what I'm like with tenses)
22:18:05 <clsn> I signed up for their first project and then realized that the other people in it had put WAY more thought into their attempts than I ever would.
22:18:18 <clsn> (and this despite being involved in conlangs since forever).
22:18:42 <Arnia> sbp: Pelican pancreatitis
22:18:54 <clsn> I could easily invent a language more interesting than Klingon... But these guys had these HUGE complicated clever languages...
22:19:03 <clsn> I withdrew before the first cut.
22:19:05 <[bjoern]> So you are saying klingon is a warped language.
22:19:09 <clsn> Still on their mailing list though.
22:19:22 <clsn> [bjoern]: Reasonably. I suppose it could be more warped though.
22:19:59 <[bjoern]> Early Star Trek episodes and maybe the first movie I am not sure called warp speed "sol"-speed (the german originals that is)

22:31:25 <Arnia> (the first is from Facebook, the second from Yahoo and the third from Google)
22:31:33 <sbp> SEXP was confusing because it's not a proper subset of common lisp (why ever not?) and is undermaintained and under used. yet it seemed like such a good idea

22:33:59 <phenny> "Efficient Drivetrains Inc." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDI
22:34:01 <sbp> I realised that XML and JSON were the two most prominent on the list for most general tasks that I had in mind. of course things like SQL are much much better in some specific domains, and CSV in others... so basically I'm thinking about the tasks which are gathered around what XML and JSON were designed for anyway, so not surprising they're a good fit

22:34:54 <sbp> I think they've changed their not found boilerplate
22:35:00 <Arnia> ...
22:35:18 <sbp> they don't give 404s
22:35:26 <sbp> so you have to sniff the boilerplate
22:35:33 <Arnia> BAD MEDIAWIKI
22:35:41 <sbp> what phenny does is to check to see if an article name exists verbatim
22:35:45 <sbp> and then searches if it's not found
22:35:54 <sbp> so I gotta update that first part of the process
22:35:57 <Arnia> Oddly, XML makes sense once you have to do lots of extraction and verification of documents
22:36:11 <sbp> well, here's the points that I jotted:
22:36:18 <sbp> * XML is easier to read
22:36:18 <sbp> * XML is easier to edit by hand
22:36:18 <sbp> * XML has more widespread C libraries
22:36:18 <sbp> * XML has better data integrity checking facilities
22:36:18 <sbp> * XML can be streamed
22:36:19 <sbp> * JSON requires less lines of code to parse
22:36:21 <sbp> * JSON is less redundant and results in smaller files
22:36:23 <sbp> * JSON is cruft free
22:36:25 <sbp> * JSON has more built in datatypes
22:37:04 <Arnia> The 'can be streamed' one is important
22:37:06 <sbp> by cruft free I mean PIs and such
22:37:14 <sbp> yeah. though!
22:37:16 <Arnia> given that lots of interesting data is huge
22:37:33 <sbp> note that when I wrote the Trio RDF/XML parser, I wanted to make the most use of streaming that I could
22:37:46 <sbp> so I decided to use a pulldom, because the spec is specified in terms of dom events basically
22:37:48 <Arnia> Look at XMPP for a good use of streaming
22:37:52 <sbp> but there was no pulldom that worked
22:37:57 <sbp> so I had to write my own from scratch!
22:38:02 <Arnia> fun...
22:38:15 <sbp> couldn't believe there was no existing pulldom that worked
22:38:34 <sbp> but yeah, very important in certain cases I see what you mean
22:38:40 <Arnia> Facebook has an insane amount of processing power... "A 1100-machine [Hadoop] cluster with 8800 cores and about 12 PB raw storage."
22:38:44 <Arnia> That's just one of their clusters
22:38:54 <sbp> 12 PB: nice
22:38:57 <[bjoern]> YAML supports concat which is important for log files and such.
22:39:03 <sbp> how much data are they storing overall?
22:39:05 <sbp> concat?
22:39:18 <sbp> oh right, can't concat JSON and XML files
22:39:24 <sbp> without parsing
22:39:28 <Arnia> sbp: they generate terrabytes every day
22:39:55 <Arnia> so I imagine a fair whack of space
22:40:03 <[bjoern]> (external parsed entities would do for xml but that's poorly supported usually, unless you &entize; them)
22:40:14 <sbp> hmm, I want a fair whack sized hard drive
22:41:04 * Arnia whacks sbp
22:41:07 <Arnia> (but fairly)

23:12:52 <Arnia> a geordie to mooring dictionary would be fun
23:13:01 <[bjoern]> Mr Visor?
23:13:24 <Arnia> Dialect of English spoken in Newcastle-upon-Tyne
23:13:36 <Arnia> Sounds like drunk swedish
23:13:39 <sbp> looks like it's just classed as a dialect of frr, Boekingsprech
23:14:40 <[bjoern]> first hit for moo yields "Type: language / Subtag: gwg / Description: Moo / Added: 2009-07-29"
23:14:49 <sbp> GWG
23:14:58 <sbp> (pronounced goooog in Welsh)
23:15:30 <[bjoern]> Is this what crazy moon language is written in? Type: script / Subtag: Moon / Description: Moon / Description: Moon code / Description: Moon script / Description: Moon type / Added: 2007-01-26
23:15:36 <Arnia> Someone should mix Mooring, Geordie and Welsh
23:15:47 <Arnia> clsn, your mission if you choose to accept it...
23:15:54 *** sbp changed the topic to: "Description: Moon"
23:16:16 *** sbp changed the topic to: "Description: Moon type"
23:16:29 <sbp> damn, I can't decide which of those is funniest
23:16:35 *** Arnia changed the topic to: "Description: Moon type / Subtag: Moon"
23:16:37 <sbp> it's like choosing from a clutch of puppies
23:17:24 <sbp> hmm, shame fudge doesn't grow on trees
23:17:32 <sbp> and you could harvest it in the autumn
23:17:38 <sbp> damn that would be great
23:17:40 <Arnia> Depends what sort of fudge
23:17:44 <sbp> fudgeberry-bushes
23:17:50 <Arnia> mm... fudgeberries
23:17:59 <sbp> .gc +fudgeberries
23:18:00 <phenny> +fudgeberries: 21
23:18:15 <[bjoern]> They could have made BCP 47 shorter
23:18:29 <sbp> yeah, should have left out the line breaks
23:18:30 <[bjoern]> .g "Quick guide to getting your language subtag registered"
23:18:30 <phenny> [bjoern]: No results found for '"Quick guide to getting your language subtag registered"'.
23:18:36 <sbp> hehe
23:19:01 <sbp> as if you need a quick guide
23:19:16 <sbp> even when you sneeze it comes out as a well formed Internet Draft
23:19:28 <Arnia> He'll wreak AWEZOME CARNAGE
23:19:36 <sbp> again
23:19:36 <[bjoern]> Or Perl code. Ideally both.
23:19:40 <sbp> hehe
23:20:01 <Arnia> Have you ever written an Internet Draft that is also a useful Perl program?
23:20:05 <clsn> I thought there was a form to fill out. I remember I got tlh for Klingon...
23:20:13 <sbp> there are useful perl programs?
23:20:18 <sbp> actually, exiftool does come to mind
23:20:25 <Arnia> sbp: bioinformatics people seem to love it
23:20:37 <sbp> yeah but they're mad of madness and talcum
23:20:40 <sbp> *made
23:20:48 <sbp> MAD OF MADENESS
23:21:06 <Arnia> Mad of Madness sounds like a bad Merlin character
23:21:39 <sbp> Mister Mad Pants Madness of Madness, the Mad Madman from the Town of Mad People Beyond the Sea of Mad
23:21:50 <Arnia> (the English Channel)
23:21:55 <[bjoern]> So I take it I can't register a region subtag, so it'd be a variant
23:22:18 <sbp> or as the French call it, La Manche du Lunatiques
23:22:37 <sbp> why can't you register a region subtag?
23:23:34 <[bjoern]> Explaining things is too oldskool in spec writing these days, just says "Only subtags of type 'language' and 'variant' will be considered for independent registration of new subtags."
23:23:34 <Arnia> The image on http://hadoop.apache.org/hbase/index.html confuses me
23:23:46 <[bjoern]> yes
23:24:22 <sbp> I think it is intended to metaphorically depict ARCHITECTURAL RAGE
23:25:02 * Arnia nukes sbp
23:25:23 <sbp> [bjoern], i need your pants
23:25:30 <[bjoern]> lots of traffic on the ietf languages list
23:25:34 * Arnia mentally tries to block out HTML5 madness
23:25:54 <Arnia> I may have to resort to physically blocking it with large amounts of lead
23:26:04 *** kpreid (~kpreid@rrcs-208-125-58-214.nys.biz.rr.com) has joined #swhack
23:26:07 <sbp> HTML5 has gone gamma-critical?
23:26:19 <[bjoern]> sbp, I believe the line should be, I need your clothes, boots and your motorcycle
23:26:22 <sbp> at least gamma is the least ionising
23:26:30 <sbp> I think it's more like an alpha/gamma hybrid
23:26:38 <sbp> I don't want your boots
23:26:48 *** eel (~PircBot@linode.feoh.org) has joined #swhack
23:27:02 <sbp> wouldn't want you to starve
23:27:10 <sbp> any more than usual, I mean
23:27:37 <Arnia> The whole 'is it blocked, isn't it blocked' thing
23:27:46 <Arnia> it is surreal
23:28:11 <[bjoern]> German Democratic Republic has region subtag DD
23:28:20 <[bjoern]> (Dunkeldeutschland)
23:28:29 <sbp> .leo dunkel
23:28:31 <phenny> dunkel = abstruse a., acroamatic a. rare, apocalyptical a., caliginous a. (obs.), dark a.
23:28:32 <phenny> dunkel - Lichtschranke = blocked a.
23:28:33 <phenny> dark = das Dunkel

23:30:34 <Arnia> Bigger on the inside?
23:30:40 <sbp> how do they dub Doctor Who in de?
23:30:41 <Arnia> could be useful...
23:30:56 <[bjoern]> do they dub Doctor Who in de?
23:31:24 <sbp> you are marginally better placed to answer that question than the people of whom you are currently enquiring it
23:31:26 <Arnia> dubstep Doctor Who
23:31:41 <[bjoern]> 22. November 1989 with the 7th
23:31:47 <sbp> would be even better if you had a telly
23:31:53 <[bjoern]> not seen it as far as i know
23:32:12 <[bjoern]> not seen the english dubbing either
23:32:17 * Arnia nukes [bjoern]
23:32:41 * sbp lends [bjoern] his motorcycle back
23:33:17 <sbp> listen
23:33:20 <sbp> do you want to know a secret?
23:33:24 <sbp> do you promise not to tell?
23:33:28 <sbp> whoooOooaaaahhaAAaaah
23:33:29 <sbp> closer!
23:33:42 <sbp> (doo dah doo)
23:34:06 * Arnia retreats slowly and cautiously
23:34:10 <sbp> the Beatles remasters are so good
23:34:24 <sbp> (doo dah doo)
23:35:29 <sbp> Approaching Storm by Constant Troyon, 1849
23:35:44 <sbp> .wik Constant Troyon
23:35:45 <phenny> "Constant Troyon (August 28, 1810 - February 21, 1865), French painter, was born in Sèvres, near Paris, where his father was connected with the famous manufactory of porcelain." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_Troyon
23:35:51 <sbp> (painting on the Hadoop page)
23:36:20 <Arnia> The Oncoming Storm?
23:36:26 <Arnia> Where have I heard that before?
23:36:27 <sbp> the style of writing on this article is funny
23:36:35 <sbp> “Troyon was an animal painter of the first rank”
23:36:45 <sbp> “The technical qualities of his methods of painting are most masterly”
23:37:38 <Arnia> ...
23:37:46 <Arnia> we rank animal painters now?
23:37:50 <sbp> ‘His "Valle de la Toucque, Normandy", is one of his greatest pictures; and at Christies sale-room in 1902 the single figure of a cow in a landscape of but moderate quality fetched £7350.’
23:38:03 <Arnia> "Yes, I am a major general of animal painting"
23:38:12 <sbp> the single figure of a cow in a landscape of but moderate quality
23:38:18 <sbp> that's just super
23:38:23 <sbp> the single figure of a cow in a landscape of but moderate quality
23:38:26 <sbp> what a phrase
23:39:05 <Arnia> Who is the official quality assessor for landscapes?
23:39:19 <[bjoern]> ah excellent, there is an out of copyright Mooring book from 1870
23:39:31 <[bjoern]> 1860 even
23:39:37 <sbp> The Academie Landscapaise?
23:39:38 <phenny> sbp: 23:39Z <Morbus> tell sbp http://www.wowhead.com/?blog=146218
