| 04:08.07 | findlay | levi_home: you said that already |
| 04:08.34 | findlay | ~use postgresql |
| 04:11.46 | findlay | it is a law of nature that jobs posted to plug will be flamed |
| 04:23.06 | levi_home | Oh, well, no one said anything and I forgot. |
| 04:26.42 | levi_home | You know, I'm finding the most annoying thing about OCaml syntax is remembering where I need to put parentheses. |
| 04:28.49 | Tene | just put them everywhere |
| 04:30.05 | levi_home | They seem to mean slightly different things in different places, though. |
| 04:30.15 | levi_home | But I'm not positive about that. |
| 04:30.26 | levi_home | () is a special value, though. |
| 04:30.52 | levi_home | It's kind of a nasty hack so you can do function() when there are no arguments to the function. |
| 04:30.59 | Tene | what does it mean? |
| 04:31.01 | Tene | Huh. |
| 04:31.16 | levi_home | And you can also return it when you don't have any useful value to return. |
| 04:32.01 | levi_home | It's called unit, and it's kind of an empty tuple. |
| 04:32.51 | levi_home | You can have functions take multiple arguments, or a single tuple-argument. And you can use tuples to return multiple values. |
| 04:33.11 | levi_home | tuples don't always have to have parentheses around them, though. |
| 04:33.20 | Tene | how... special |
| 04:33.20 | levi_home | It's maddening. |
| 04:33.46 | levi_home | If you use regular multiple arguments, you can easily curry your functions. |
| 04:34.35 | levi_home | So, if you have a functin a that takes two arguments, you can say 'let b = a x' and then 'b y' calls 'a x y' |
| 04:35.18 | levi_home | Which is handy when you're doing higher-order programming. |
| 04:37.02 | levi_home | Anyway, as you see, invoking functions doesn't require parentheses. I haven't figured out the precedence rules for function calls vs. record element access, etc. so I'm constantly having the compiler yell at me. |
| 04:37.22 | Tene | it makes sense once you're used to it, maybe? |
| 04:37.55 | levi_home | Perhaps, but my programs end up getting parentheses in awkward places. |
| 04:38.06 | levi_home | Maybe I just haven't got the style down. |
| 04:38.41 | levi_home | But, man, give me back my Lisp syntax! |

| 17:13.53 | findlay | levi: there are many contexts when choosing a language comes down to perl and python (and others too maybe) |
| 17:14.36 | levi | findlay: Yes, but quantitative comparisons only make sense when comparing the same kinds of values. |

What does 'less evil' mean if not 'posessing a smaller quantity (or intensity, if you must) of evil'? |
| 17:23.19 | findlay | I disagree as I was not making a quantitative argument |
| 17:23.44 | findlay | you may interpret the words as you will but that is not what I meant |
| 17:23.50 | levi | findlay: So, explain how 'less evil than python' is not a quantitative argument, because it makes no sense to me otherwise. |
| 17:24.42 | findlay | levi: sometimes you have to stop thinking in terms of quantities and start thinking in terms of properties |
| 17:25.46 | levi | findlay: That doesn't make any sense, either. |
| 17:26.12 | levi | At least not as an answer to my challenge. |
| 17:27.56 | findlay | well, computer languages (even value judgements of them) certainly are easier to make quantitative statements about because they are logical, but that is completely not the argument I was making |
| 17:28.15 | findlay | I was merely stating an opinion |
| 17:28.38 | findlay | which neither need be grounded in logic or express itself quantitatively |

| 17:34.34 | findlay | or is it {}^2 |
| 17:34.43 | elg | I suppose it's { {} } |
| 17:34.57 | elg | so |{}| != |2^{}| |
| 17:35.22 | findlay | why abs()? |
| 17:35.48 | levi | elg: I would guess { {} } as well. |
| 17:37.00 | levi | | | takes the cardinality of a set, no? |
| 17:37.09 | elg | yeah |
| 17:37.21 | findlay | because of the properties of exponentiation |
| 17:37.45 | elg | huh? |
| 17:39.10 | findlay | a 0 as the right side argument to ^ will always return 1 |
| 17:39.43 | levi | Oh, yes, I thought you were still talking about abs() |
| 17:40.00 | elg | yeah, but the power set is notated that way because it's convenient, not because it's an exponential operation per se |

| 17:41.08 | neybar | <OldleBot> neybar reaches next level in 1 day, 05:15:08. |
| 17:41.55 | elg | it's convenient because the cardinality of the powerset of C is 2^|C| |
| 17:42.31 | elg | but computer scientists have been known to adopt deceptive shorthand before, so it's not a reason but a convenience. |
| 17:43.30 | levi | elg: The Wikipedia entry for power series suggests that 2^X for a set X really does create the power set via exponentiation. |

| 22:49.29 | scott | on linux what is the most common technique for setting folder size quotas? |
| 22:51.47 | Tene | cron job that checks the size of the folder and deletes random files if it's over a hardcoded limit |
| 22:57.19 | rsimpkins | scott: Still here? |
| 23:00.00 | rsimpkins | scott: Well, quotas are handled by partitions. If you want a directory specific quota you have to setup a "virtual" partition and set up quota in that. not the best, but it works: http://souptonuts.sourceforge.net/quota_tutorial.html |
| 23:00.51 | scott | thanks |
| 23:00.52 | rsimpkins | This obvioulsy won't work well if you have several directories you wnat to have a quota on. |
