timotimo not bad. 00:00
tadzik and then people stared to exploit it :)
timotimo i'm kinda glad the dotfiles in ~/ are getting somewhat more organized these days
with .share and .config and such
tadzik yeah
useful if you actually use hidden files and dirs :)
timotimo aye.
tadzik also, I'm glad we still have dotfiles, and not everything is in gnome-registry-thingy 00:01
timotimo yes.
tadzik I don't even remeber its name, so hopefully it's dead :P 00:02
timotimo gconf is dead
dconf is "the new hotness"
tadzik oh, gconf :)
mumble grumblie
timotimo i think dconf is in some way less sucky
but i don't know much about it
tadzik I'd rather see a nice API which does plaintext files mangling under the hood
so if you need to access it from cat and grep, it still works
timotimo aye. 00:03
dconf is a simple key-based configuration system. Keys exist in an unstructured database (but it is intended that keys that logically belong together are grouped together).
Change notification is supported. ← that's something that's not as trivial with text files
Stacking of multiple configuration sources is supported. ← that's pretty cool actually 00:04
and it's integrated with policykit

timotimo no, if i automated it, i wouldn't have the opportunity for my brain to link me hitting the keys with the game merging tiles 08:49
moritz just got to 11k, with a 1024 tile
timotimo okay so the only "danger" to the down, left, down, right strategy is when your whole thing gets stuck so you can't do any of these three actions 08:51
then you have to go up and get a low-number tile in your bottom-most column
row*
after that, your bottom-most row gets stuck

timotimo moritz: a core insight to this seems to be that you always want to have as few different numbers on the board as possible, because every number that doesn't have any other numbers near it is going to be blocking your board for a long time to come. 12:25
that's why it's pretty easy to button-mash your way to your first 256 or even 512
but after that you have to work for more points

moritz timotimo: agreed 13:37
timotimo i'm getting somewhat far with the strategy "always seek to merge twos"
but that seems a bit short-sighted. 13:38
masak timotimo: try "always seek to (greedily) merge the highest pair possible" ? 13:45
brrt you have no other strategy than greedy do you? :-)
its not like you can backtrack 13:46
timotimo well, you have to be on-line, but you can try to be competitive against the most malevolent placer of new 2s and 4s
[Coke] is this the web game that is like the ios game threes?
brrt is also curious how the author claims 2048 is the highest obtainable value 13:47
its not obvious to me why that should be
timotimo well, if you go to 4096, you'll be spending a *lot* of time :) 13:48
but feel free to write an exhaustive search in perl6 :)
brrt hmmm 13:49
timotimo (it will also be spending a *lot* of time, except the jvm's jit may very well kick into full gear there)
gotta run now.
brrt i'm not sure you can exhaustively search in all cases
because some moves decrease the number of cells on the board
and you only finish once all cells are filled/

masak brrt: indeed, I'm not convinced the game cannot be sustained infinitely. 14:19
the random component essentially makes it a two-player game.
moritz it cannot 14:20
Timbus_ it would run out of space..
masak oh, if it cannot, then it should be eminently simulatable.
moritz you can't turn a 2 into a 2^18 with only 16 spaces
masak hm, right.
moritz that's also why it gets more difficult with time
masak so you *must* run out of space at some point.
Timbus_ imagine if, it wasnt a grid, but just a line of squares. and the 2 always spawned on the left, and you shifted it right 14:21
moritz the more high numbers you have, the less free space you have to navigate
Timbus_ that simplifies the problem easily
14:22 __thou joined
masak ah, it's one of those "the moves fold into the board (and make it more messy)" kind of problems. 14:25
moritz small numbers enter the board, large numbers are created by merging. The challenge is just to create the larger numbers in the correct place, adjacent to other numbers in the same order of magnitude 14:29

timotimo another idea 16:31
you have a 4x4 grid
you can place a 2 or a 4 in any free space
then you must shift all tiles to one of four directions as if gravity affected them
tiles that rest upon each other during such a phase that have the same number merge into 2 x the number 16:32
in how few turns can you fill up the whole board?

TimToady what's the big deal?
16:44 hoverboard joined
TimToady lue: ^^ 16:44
16:44 molaf_ joined
TimToady it won't backtrack, mind you 16:45
being destructive like that
one would have to arrange to return the correct @array[$i] to make it re-usable 16:46
or arrange to copy the array at the re-entrance
more realistically, you'd pull an iterator out and use that destructively 16:47
16:47 molaf left 16:48 kurahaupo joined, isBEKaml joined
TimToady perhaps one could arrange this as an <each(@array)> subrule 16:48
assuming one could get it to clone at the appropriate scope 16:49
however, the lack of demand for this up till now indicates that a solution like / :my @tmp = @array; <{@tmp.shift}> +% ',' / might be quite sufficient 16:50
that would at least be re-entrant, if not backtrackable 16:51
benabik Attempting to backtrack through code just makes the entire rule fail, yes?
TimToady no
it just ignores it 16:52
it assumes you write your code idempotently such that it doesn't matter
benabik Hm. Would have to be very careful how you use destructive iteration then, or you could end up skipping elements. 16:53
16:53 hoverboard left
TimToady yes, though generally you'd re-enter something like this from the top when you need to 16:54
if the + here backtracked it would not recalculate the LHS, it would just throw away one of the results
or generate the next one, in the case of +?
16:55 rurban left
TimToady greedy backtracking generates all the possible Cursors first; it doesn't have to regen any Cursors from the left 16:55
(unless the backtracking is violent enough to cause re-entry, but then your :my recopies the array)
so I don't think we need a new feature here 16:56
much to the surprise of those who think Perl 6 includes every feature anyone can ever think of :)
benabik Sensible.
TimToady could certainly be wrong at this stage of the morning, or of life 16:57
benabik Failure is always an option.

FROGGS lue: what do you want it to do? 20:07
vendethiel lue: oh yeah, that's for sure, but I don't see why .perl doesn't return {}
lue FROGGS: I'd like it to at least warn me that I've redeclared a variable like that, it caused a subtle and annoying bug yesterday :/
masak vendethiel: it used to, but it got changed for some reason I don't remember, or may never have known. 20:08
vendethiel masak: oke!
TimToady p6: my %foo; %foo<bar> => "baz"; say $%foo;

vendethiel lue: ^
That's what I meant 20:12
lue FROGGS: yeah, I realize it's not quite so simple, but I left it behind while creating a new base class, and the different methods in the new base class and the derived class affect different $!x's
vendethiel: ah, I see what you mean.
FROGGS lue: yes, that is what I expect it should do :o)
TimToady r: say (1 => 2).perl
vendethiel lue: that might be a corner-case though :)
camelia rakudo-parrot 1aeb7c, rakudo-jvm 1aeb7c, rakudo-moar 1aeb7c: OUTPUT«1 => 2␤»
lue FROGGS: not so much fun when you don't realize you forgot to delete a 'has' line :)
FROGGS lue: sure 20:13
lue: but that is something that might or might not be intentional... a compiler can not always decide there
lue I just think it'd be nice if P6 went "hey, just so you know, you declared another $!x in this derived class. Things might not work fine"
"Potential difficulties" I think it's called :)
jnthn lue: The point is that it *will* work fine.
FROGGS I don't like warning for potentionally ok things 20:14
jnthn lue: They are different attributes.
TimToady Potential difficulties: Failed to read your mind...
lue FROGGS: aren't all Potential Difficulties "potentially ok things" though?
jnthn It's important that it's that way. You should be able to subclass without having to care about what's in the parent class.
FROGGS lue: don't thinks so
think*
20:14 rindolf left
jnthn That's one of the ways Perl 6 gets inheritance righter than the likes of Java and C#, which make it easy to flaunt things in the base class through using protected... 20:15

camelia rakudo-moar 1aeb7c: OUTPUT«Potential difficulties:␤ Redeclaration of symbol $a␤ at /tmp/2vCz8FTAwe:1␤ ------> my $a; my $a # this is clearly not ok⏏<EOL>␤»
TimToady the only one people carp about frequently is declared but not used
jnthn declared but not used is annoying by default. 20:16
TimToady FROGGS: actually that one is officially ok
lue jnhtn: yeah, I'm just annoyed that Perl 6 let me get away with something that in my case broke things :) [a method in Base modifies its $!x, and then Derived.x doesn't return what I changed; that's what my issue was]
TimToady std: my $a; my $a
camelia std 09dda5b: OUTPUT«Potential difficulties:␤ Useless redeclaration of variable $a (see line 1) at /tmp/JbstzFzwGb line 1:␤------> my $a; my $a⏏<EOL>␤ok 00:01 122m␤»
FROGGS TimToady: for the parser yes, but there is no situation where you would need to do that and really mean it
TimToady note it's a *useless* redeclaration in sTD
lue m: my $a; my $a; say "alive!" 20:17
camelia rakudo-moar 1aeb7c: OUTPUT«Potential difficulties:␤ Redeclaration of symbol $a␤ at /tmp/FSxYsJ3cAG:1␤ ------> my $a; my $a⏏; say "alive!"␤alive!␤»
TimToady well, you can leave the foo off of $foo when you declare it, too, so why all the carpage about declared but not used?
FROGGS m: my $a = 42; my $a; say $a 20:18
camelia rakudo-moar 1aeb7c: OUTPUT«Potential difficulties:␤ Redeclaration of symbol $a␤ at /tmp/JDFTmpE8jO:1␤ ------> my $a = 42; my $a⏏; say $a␤42␤»
FROGGS lue: see this one, do you expect that to happen?
lue FROGGS: since the second one is a *useless* redeclaration, yes :)
[rakudo should be clearer on that point...]
FROGGS lue: yes
jnthn TimToady: 'cus a normal way of working is to stub stuff with names, and then go write tests, and come back and fill in the stubbed stuff. 20:19
TimToady well, it's helping you find what you missed then :P
jnthn TimToady: And even if I ain't doing the tests phase in there, I still tend to do a lot of sketching that way. :)
And the warnings at that point are clutter. I agree they can be desirable at a certain stage.
TimToady trouble is, there's no mechanism to get people to turn those warnings on when they need 'em 20:20
so you get the 'use strict' problem all over again 20:21
maybe we need an 'anon' twigil :)
FROGGS oh oh oh, can we have a -Wall cmd line argument this time?
lue maybe a "is really" trait to turn off warnings? my $a; my $a is really; 20:22

vendethiel what's a multi my ? 20:23
lue FROGGS: actually, I think I might like -Wall etc. better. That way I can do -Wderived-redecl-attr or however it'd be spelled :)
FROGGS ohh noes, he asked
jnthn tries not to comment on the appropriateness of Perl 6 having a -Wall flag that tells you stuff TimToady++ thinks you need to know :D

camelia std 09dda5b: OUTPUT«ok 00:01 122m␤»
TimToady there's already a defined mechanism for this
vendethiel wut
TimToady it's really in there for macros, not for programmers 20:24
FROGGS jnthn: it could even add an "except when it's not" to some error messages :o)
TimToady since macros often want to ensure that something is declared
