aditsu |
hi, how's it going? |
| 13:42 |
|
aditsu |
Google Code Jam is happening, round 1A was about 12 hours ago |
| 13:51 |
|
pdurbin |
nice. enjoying it, aditsu? |
| 13:55 |
|
aditsu |
yeah; it seems to be a little more competitive this time |
| 13:55 |
|
aditsu |
I used a bunch of different languages again :p |
| 13:56 |
|
pdurbin |
which ones? |
| 13:57 |
|
aditsu |
CJam, Haskell, Pascal, GolfScript, SQL, JavaScript, Groovy, C, Scala, C++, Python, and I still have Java left |
| 13:57 |
|
pdurbin |
nice |
| 13:58 |
|
aditsu |
I didn't advance in 1A although I solved almost everything; there's still 1B and 1C though, and I can use more languages :p |
| 13:58 |
|
aditsu |
just kinda ran out of ones I know |
| 13:59 |
|
aditsu |
(btw, I wrote my first ever Haskell program in the qualification round) |
| 14:00 |
|
pdurbin |
cool |
| 14:01 |
|
pdurbin |
I'm barely here. Packing snack for my kid's soccer game. |
| 14:01 |
|
aditsu |
it's "football" *half-serious frown* |
| 14:01 |
|
pdurbin |
8am basketball game for the other kid. brutally early. they won though |
| 14:02 |
|
aditsu |
wow |
| 14:03 |
|
pdurbin |
it's a 2 day tournament. they won the last tournament |
| 16:50 |
|
aditsu |
so have you guys heard for Democracy Spring? I'm happy to see American people fighting so that someday they might have democracy again |
| 16:50 |
|
aditsu |
heard of* |
| 16:56 |
|
pdurbin |
searchbot`: lucky democracy spring |
| 16:56 |
|
searchbot` |
pdurbin: http://www.democracyspring.org/ |

| 17:04 |
|
aditsu |
it's been called "the largest civil disobedience action of the century", but mainstream media don't cover it because they are swimming in political money |
| 17:30 |
|
pdurbin |
"The protesters were calling for controls on the influence of big money over politics." http://boingboing.net/2016/04/12/mass-arrests-at-dc-protest-ove.html |
| 17:30 |
|
pdurbin |
This is basically what Lawrence Lessig's campaign was about... getting the money out of politics. |
| 17:31 |
|
pdurbin |
"He described his candidacy as a referendum on campaign finance reform and electoral reform legislation." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Lessig_presidential_campaign,_2016 |
| 17:44 |
|
aditsu |
yeah, he supports the protests too |
| 17:44 |
|
aditsu |
so does Bernie Sanders |
| 18:08 |
|
pdurbin |
aditsu: so how was it coding in Haskell? |
| 18:10 |
|
aditsu |
a bit traumatic :p |
| 18:10 |
|
pdurbin |
:) |
| 18:10 |
|
aditsu |
I still don't really understand what's going on, but managed to make it work |
| 18:11 |
|
aditsu |
people keep writing stuff with dozens of arrows that don't make sense |
| 18:11 |
|
aditsu |
(when they try to explain Haskell functions or things) |
| 18:12 |
|
pdurbin |
how did you learn enough to write your first Haskell program? did you read "learn you a haskell"? |
| 18:12 |
|
aditsu |
I went through it a bit, didn't like it very much |
| 18:12 |
|
aditsu |
I did a lot of searching for how to do certain things |
| 18:13 |
|
aditsu |
and cobbled the findings together :p |
| 18:15 |
|
pdurbin |
gotcha |
| 18:15 |
|
pdurbin |
now you can write your own survival guide :) |
| 18:16 |
|
aditsu |
the part that does the real work is a one-liner |
| 18:19 |
|
pdurbin |
aditsu: how much of http://irclogs.shortcircuit.net.au/%23io/2016-02-26.log.html do you follow? The conversation starts with Haskell, covers Idris, Swift, Go, Ruby. Objective C, etc. |
| 18:20 |
|
pdurbin |
prologic: a chat with your buddy jer in #io |
| 18:21 |
|
aditsu |
pdurbin: you mean the channel or the topic of that particular discussion? |
| 18:21 |
|
pdurbin |
that particular discussion |
| 18:22 |
|
pdurbin |
I guess I don't know what "sum and product types" means. |
| 18:22 |
|
aditsu |
you mean "follow" as in "understand"? |
| 18:22 |
|
pdurbin |
yeah |
| 18:23 |
|
pdurbin |
I'm still learning the lingo. |
| 18:23 |
|
aditsu |
I think I read about sum types once, I didn't really get it |
| 18:23 |
|
aditsu |
no idea about product types |
| 18:24 |
|
aditsu |
yeah I find it pretty hard to follow |
| 18:25 |
|
pdurbin |
phew. so I'm not the only one :) |
| 18:31 |
|
pdurbin |
fun talking with him though |
| 18:49 |
|
pdurbin |
aditsu: I'm saying nice things about you: http://irclogs.shortcircuit.net.au/%23io/2016-04-16.log.html |
| 18:55 |
|
aditsu |
^_^ |
| 18:57 |
|
aditsu |
ah ok, so sum and product refer to the sets of possible values of the data you're representing |
| 18:58 |
|
pdurbin |
aditsu: you should jump in #io or drag jer in here :) |
| 21:17 |
|
prologic |
hmmmm? |
| 21:19 |
|
pdurbin |
prologic: aditsu getting into Haskell reminded me of how jer in #io likes Idris even better. |
| 22:23 |
|
prologic |
Oh I see |
| 22:50 |
|
pdurbin |
and that interesting conversation I didn't completely grok |
| 22:58 |
|
pdurbin |
https://chadaustin.me/2015/07/sum-types/ seems like a good write up |
| 23:27 |
|
sivoais |
this Haskell book looks like it is almost done: <http://haskellbook.com/> |
| 23:28 |
|
sivoais |
Seems like they are trying to make it easier to learn. One of the authors was learning Haskell as they wrote it. |
