​xah talk $how

Alan W
$10.00

ty for great shows, essays, tutorials, etc 😃

Alan W
​and ty for grading our programming hw 😛

Alan W
​erm... programing hw

Pedro Gómez Martín
​while I find golang useful and easy, I've never been able to fully understand how the dependencies work and the project structure

Alan W
​everyone take a shot

Alan W
​xah had to turn on JS

Pedro Gómez Martín
​for Linux you should use the package manager lmao

Obama Care Foundation Official
​i recently learned that rm has version control. ive never tried it

Alan W
​pkg managers r amazing

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee It seems like you were drunk when you last time Linux. This is how I install stuff: "install -y gpg2". Done. No f*in around. While Windows only makes trouble with lack of backwards compatabil

BartholomewJS
​ity.

Alan W
​👋 @BartholomewJS

Alan W
​lots of modern linux is not so bad

Alan W
​programing stuff way easier to get up to speed

Alan W
​then setting up a windows env

George
​hallo!

Alan W
​does xah send compiled binaries to his friends

Alan W
​so they don't have to install Golang?

Alan W
​😲

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee That is an advantegment of any compiled language. Nothing that is Go-specfici.

BartholomewJS
​@Alan W Greetings.

Alan W
​keygen.exe

Pedro Gómez Martín
​> in my humble opinion

Nabi Yang
​does that say, "Hello, 世界"?

tldrkek
​hello, world

tldrkek
​oh wait nvm i thought you were asking

George
​@Nabi Yang yeah they do that to demo golang's unicode abilities

Nabi Yang
​yes, i'm asking if that said world in japanese. i see, ty

Pedro Gómez Martín
​have you tried reading the c++ spec?

paul durao
​Go Lang is k&r I think

paul durao
​Just like c

​wanking and yanking text

Alan W
​yah golang is good 😃 slowly working on it

Nabi Yang
​oh, i didn't know you have an emacs tutorial until you mentioned it. i came for the keyboards. but you're right. your tutorial is better. that's why i bought it

George
​Cuneiform numerals are part of unicode. Converting a number to cuneiform might make a good programming challenge.

Alan W
​@Xah Lee explain *number* vs *numeral*

Nabi Yang
​the wanking and yanking text was from a video tutorial i started before you mentioned that you have a tutorial

Nabi Yang
​numeral is the way it's written. the graphic

Justin Scarfy
​Hi

Alan W
​so what different bases (e.g. base 10, base 60) be about different numerals for the same numbers?

Nabi Yang
​no... octal and base 10 use the same numerals. different bases affect how you count

Alan W
​but you would say they use different numerals to represent the same numbers, right?

George
​I don't know why comma is still every 3 digits in Chinese contexts (999,999,999)

George
​in Chinese every 4 makes more sense (9999,9999,9999)

Nabi Yang
​no, they use the same numerals. different numerals would be like chinese

Alan W
​数字 万岁

Nabi Yang
​no, i can't type it. the single line, double line, triple line

Nabi Yang
​一二三

Nabi Yang
​there i used japanese and converted 😛

Nabi Yang
​those are different numerals for 1 2 3

Alan W
​so what would you call representing numbers with different bases?

Nabi Yang
​binary octal and decimal all use the same numerals

Alan W
​using the same (sub)set of glyphs

Nabi Yang
​bases 😛 like base 10 for decimal. base 2 for binary

Alan W
​😐

Nabi Yang
​i don't know if there's a word for what you're asking. perhaps xah knows. i just know that "numerals" isn't right

Alan W
​@Xah Lee do you think that reading of math history requires understanding a lot of mathematics?

Xah Lee
​Math and Geometry Books http://xahlee.info/math/xah_math_book...

Alan W
​@Nabi Yang I was just thinking that if we define "numerals" as being a set of (written) glyphs that correspond to numbers then we would say different base of counting is different numerals

Alan W
​because the sets would be different

Alan W
​(though you would have proper subsets of base 10 for base 8 or whateva)

Nabi Yang
​your screen is still off

Alan W
​we get to see xah clean sahven face

Alan W
​shaving off hair bloat

Alan W
​for pure mathematics

Alan W
​@Xah Lee ty for answering question about reading math; I think it is similar with computer/programing stuff----if you know more about computing stuff, you gain access to much more stuff

Alan W
​general reader cannot understand without intimate understanding of the tech

Nabi Yang
​look at that box alan, that says numeral systems

Alan W
​😲

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee Merry Christmas.
