2024-04-16 04:04:08 +0200 <monochrom> It is OK to start types with that. That's what happened at the beginning of PL research too. For example Strachey's Fundamental Concepts in Programming Languages.
2024-04-16 04:04:30 +0200 <jackdk> geekosaur: staring out doing BASIC meant that C could be my introduction to types, too. Though I dabbled in pascal for a while, but a young kid with a textbook and no-one else to talk to about pascal can only get so far
2024-04-16 04:07:05 +0200 <geekosaur> strictly speaking I started out on BASIC too, but it was such a limited toy that I abandoned it for asm quickly

2024-04-16 04:14:14 +0200 <monochrom> Oh BASIC had types. It was just combining the type safety of C with the hungarian-wannabe sigil system of Perl.
2024-04-16 04:14:42 +0200 <monochrom> N is of the number type, N$ is of the string type.
2024-04-16 04:14:59 +0200 <jackdk> despite predating both
2024-04-16 04:15:40 +0200 <jackdk> VB (and maybe others) extended that to avoid having to write `dim i as integer`: you had `%` for ints, `&` for longs, etc. (IIRC)
2024-04-16 04:18:16 +0200 <c_wraith> that definitely predates VB. It was in the old TRS-80 basic I first learned to program in.
2024-04-16 04:18:40 +0200 <geekosaur> I recall it having % but not &
2024-04-16 04:18:46 +0200 <c_wraith> well. not longs, that hardware didn't have them. But it had integers and floats.
2024-04-16 04:18:54 +0200 <geekosaur> yeh
2024-04-16 04:19:00 +0200 <c_wraith> though it didn't have floating-point hardware, so they were *slow*
2024-04-16 04:19:53 +0200 <geekosaur> nobody had invented floating point coprocessors yet. and when Intel got around to it, it was a sideboard stack machine
2024-04-16 04:20:26 +0200 <geekosaur> I was especially happy to let the compiler deal with that mess
2024-04-16 04:21:04 +0200 <jackdk> kids these days don't know how good they have it. I remember an errata card for TI (99/4A) Extended Basic saying they removed the ability for subroutines to call themselves because "it was occasionally useful but mostly a mistake"
2024-04-16 04:21:51 +0200 <monochrom> Nah I think kids these days would love to have that card mandated so they don't have to learn recursion.

2024-04-16 04:22:18 +0200 <geekosaur> that one is understandable though, the TMS9900 thought it was a baby IBM mainframe. BALR anyone?
2024-04-16 04:23:06 +0200 <monochrom> But BASIC's dumb GOSUB rendered recursion useless. So the claim was right in context. (You need at least parameter passing to make recursion useful.)
2024-04-16 04:23:09 +0200 <geekosaur> (stuffed the return address into a register, and $DEITY help you if you overwrote it)

2024-04-16 04:23:57 +0200 <c_wraith> yeah, GOSUB didn't have any idea of parameters. Just global variables. So, recursion wasn't very useful...

2024-04-16 12:29:12 +0200 <masaeedu> the `base` and `directory` packages use a definition of `FilePath` that is `FilePath = String`. in the `filepath` package these are referred to as "legacy filepaths", and it recommends migrating to using its new `OsPath` representation because "it is more correct. is there an equivalent of the `directory` package that works with `OsPath`s?

2024-04-16 13:29:03 +0200 <constxd> (isPrefixOf [x]) seems like it will only ever match [] or [x]

2024-04-16 20:05:41 +0200 <monochrom> Yeah, how do you solve equations?
2024-04-16 20:06:15 +0200 <monochrom> No one answered. The asker eventually confessed they had merely things like "5x+4=6" in mind.
2024-04-16 20:08:26 +0200 <monochrom> Or maybe I answered. "It depends on the equation."
2024-04-16 20:08:50 +0200 <monochrom> No, I was not that kind. I answered "it is undecidable".
2024-04-16 20:10:09 +0200ft(~ft@p4fc2a20e.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
2024-04-16 20:11:35 +0200 <monochrom> Now, let's look at how that actually is equivalent to termination checking, even in practice, even bullet-point-by-bullet-point.
2024-04-16 20:13:53 +0200 <monochrom> The most common cases that average programmers have in mind are like "for (i = 0; i < n; i++)".
2024-04-16 20:14:24 +0200 <dolio> Well, all termination checkers report false results, yeah.
2024-04-16 20:14:49 +0200 <monochrom> Without make it a really harder problem, it can be generalized linearly, e.g., "for (i = 4; i < n; i+=2)" is no more difficult.
2024-04-16 20:15:10 +0200 <glguy> dolio: because all programs eventually terminate even if due to environmental factors?
2024-04-16 20:15:22 +0200 <monochrom> That class just requires solving linear inequalities and is a solved problem.
2024-04-16 20:15:34 +0200 <c_wraith> That usually terminates. if n is not the max int. and nothing in the loop body is mutating i or n.
2024-04-16 20:15:45 +0200 <dolio> For an example of how it depends, Agda's current termination checker is based on the assumption that it is predicative. If you allow impredicative types (like, data types with quantifiers over all types in them), then it will tell you some non-terminating things are actually terminating.
2024-04-16 20:16:17 +0200 <c_wraith> actually, I guess n being the max int *shouldn't* break that, since it's a <
2024-04-16 20:16:39 +0200 <dolio> Because some of its, "this is a smaller value," inferences are wrong depending on how you instantiate the quantifier.
2024-04-16 20:17:13 +0200 <glguy> c_wraith: the tricky case was n+=2, but even then we're still OK because it would be an invalid C program that tried to overflow the int, so we know there's some outer reason why n could never be so large
2024-04-16 20:17:15 +0200 <dolio> So, you probably can't just use Agda's checker on GHC.
2024-04-16 20:17:22 +0200 <c_wraith> glguy: hah

2024-04-16 20:17:48 +0200 <monochrom> But of course average programmers have seen nothing. There are times the conditions of the for loop requires solving quadratic inequalities instead. That is also solved now, but it requires a different algorithm from linear inequalities.
2024-04-16 20:18:57 +0200 <c_wraith> monochrom: and imagine thinking like a C programmer trying to envision how to get something to prove their huffman tree construction terminates!
2024-04-16 20:19:20 +0200 <c_wraith> (ok, you can cheat and know it needs n-1 merges and therefore use a for loop. but the naive while loop!)
2024-04-16 20:19:55 +0200 <monochrom> Yeah, next up you don't have a for loop, you have a while loop that cannot be reduced to a for loop. You now require domain-specific knowledge.
2024-04-16 20:21:20 +0200 <EvanR> ph88, and all languages where that is the case have undecidable termination checking, making the question super easy!

2024-04-16 20:21:41 +0200 <glguy> I've seen code written by advanced programmers who were trying to make termination checking easy. No loops but pages of copy-pasted if statements
2024-04-16 20:21:49 +0200 <glguy> or at least that's why I figure they were doing that
2024-04-16 20:22:03 +0200 <monochrom> I have been teaching Prim's algorithm and Dijkstra's algorithm, which are of the form "while priority queue not empty, dequeue". Now someone has to hand-add an axiom "dequeue descreases size by 1" or else there is no reason why a checker knows that it terminates.
2024-04-16 20:22:13 +0200 <dolio> Also, Agda is (hopefully) soon getting a new termination checker. But, the way it works involves knowing the details of (co)data types to determine what is a valid program.
2024-04-16 20:22:46 +0200 <EvanR> if statements, with terminating condition, terminate. But also "for loop that does nothing but create another array based on this other array element by element i.e. map"
2024-04-16 20:22:46 +0200 <glguy> dolio: doesn't the current checker rely on such properties of (co)data to do termination checking already?
2024-04-16 20:22:52 +0200 <dolio> Because the way you handle finitary data is distinct from infinitary codata.
2024-04-16 20:23:06 +0200 <cheater> glguy: no. it's loop unrolling.
2024-04-16 20:23:16 +0200 <c_wraith> John Carmack had a blog post about rewriting his rocket control software into a form that had only a single loop, no function calls or macros, and only branched forward. He said it wasn't *great*, but it was really good for finding redundant code and forcing him to be very aware of obstacles to real-time functioning.
2024-04-16 20:23:21 +0200 <dolio> glguy: Yeah, but the new one is better.
2024-04-16 20:23:33 +0200 <glguy> cheater: you have to know how to write a loop to call what you're doing unrolling
2024-04-16 20:23:57 +0200 <cheater> c_wraith: i do a similar thing when auditing software

2024-04-16 20:24:04 +0200 <glguy> dolio: any pointer you can recommend if I'm curious to see what changes are coming?
2024-04-16 20:24:18 +0200 <monochrom> Oh next up is BFS and DFS! Take BFS for example. It does "while queue not empty: dequeue, but on some condition, add back a whole lot of things to the queue!" Now why doesn't it go on forever!

2024-04-16 20:24:40 +0200 <c_wraith> monochrom: pfft. *my* BFS can run forever just fine!
2024-04-16 20:24:47 +0200 <monochrom> haha
2024-04-16 20:25:19 +0200 <dolio> In Haskell you have a problem because data and codata are the same, so how do you know when you're supposed to argue based on something being data vs. codata?
2024-04-16 20:25:26 +0200 <cheater> you want to see the data path from a root call of some sort, to some important syscall/lib function call. so essentially you take a function you are calling, and you inline calls to all other functions, until you get to the syscall. then, you take all assumptions (like e.g. the if branch will take this branch and not that one) and you simplify and simplify until you're left with a single big "formula" for the final call (or as few formulas as possible)

2024-04-16 20:38:16 +0200 <cheater> precisely.
2024-04-16 20:38:30 +0200 <cheater> to think outside the box, first create a very tiny box, so tiny that only you can crawl into it.
2024-04-16 20:38:43 +0200 <cheater> and within that tiny box, you are unbounded in your freedom.
2024-04-16 20:38:47 +0200 <EvanR> lol
2024-04-16 20:38:56 +0200 <ph88> dolio, that's fine when there are parts of the program that can not be checked in that way. It was never my requirement to get perfect checking of the entire program, only there where possible
2024-04-16 20:38:57 +0200 <dolio> Like, in Agda's current checker, you can't write recursion over rose trees without inlining the definition of `map` on lists into your recursion.
2024-04-16 20:39:11 +0200 <monochrom> Well the converse holds too. There are other noobs who can solve one special case and dances up and think it generalizes.

2024-04-16 20:40:26 +0200 <ph88> if one takes an SMT solver to check for termination (where possible) isn't that re-inventing the wheel when there are already full fledged termination checkers (for example the one in Agda) ?

2024-04-16 20:41:48 +0200 <cheater> ph88: yes. in particular, any sufficiently complicated test suite contains an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of the haskell type system.
2024-04-16 20:44:03 +0200 <ph88> my doubts are whether is should look for something out of the box, or create something myself on top of some smt checker or whatnot starting with the simple cases. At least with the smt checker i will be able to build up knowledge where as a checker as a library is difficult to grok when there are problems, but probably has superior results. Any advice ?

2024-04-16 20:47:51 +0200 <monochrom> My advice is orthogonal. Whatever you pick up, you remember to ask what it cannot solve, and also ask its author what they never intend to solve. That way you may finally appreciate why some of us said "it depends", why "it depends" is the only correct answer to an underspecified "how to check termination" question.

2024-04-16 21:07:20 +0200 <masaeedu> ph88: a really simple solution is to simply banish direct recursion from your language.
2024-04-16 21:08:27 +0200 <masaeedu> whether this is feasible depends on what your language is used for
2024-04-16 21:08:34 +0200 <masaeedu> but e.g. Dhall uses this approach to great effect

2024-04-16 21:50:30 +0200 <monochrom> In recursion theory (the one where you draw a line between primitive recursive functions and other recursive functions), every function equals [unbounded] minimization over some primitive recursive function. (IIRC "Kleene recursion theorem")

2024-04-16 21:52:26 +0200 <monochrom> In von Neumann computing, every program is interpreted by the CPU, i.e., one "simple" loop over a manifestly terminating loop body.
2024-04-16 21:53:44 +0200 <monochrom> Some programmers even emulate a version of that by hand (CPS transform then trampolining) in Javascript and Python to support unlimited recursion depth.

My own variables should only be primitive types or references to ready-made data structures. Then my code has no issues.

2024-04-16 23:36:09 +0200 <c_wraith> I think there were some cases where there is no principal type for a definition involving a GADT, and MonoLocalBinds makes inference possible in some additional cases because you skip trying to find the principal type

2024-04-16 23:46:00 +0200int-eis just stupid
2024-04-16 23:46:09 +0200 <int-e> (you /can/ repeat it of course)
2024-04-16 23:46:12 +0200 <monochrom> I will wait for GHC2050ArcticIcesheetAllMeltedEdition"
2024-04-16 23:46:55 +0200 <monochrom> yushyin, my said use case does not want a lambda either.

2024-04-16 23:47:30 +0200 <monochrom> I already know how to encode everything in terms of everything else stop telling me I could have written it in Core heh
2024-04-16 23:48:17 +0200 <int-e> Haskell isn't reductive. It's part of its charm.
2024-04-16 23:48:48 +0200 <Inst> btw, pattern guards doesn't support ;, right?
2024-04-16 23:49:59 +0200 <monochrom> I think all of us agree that there is a balance between breadth and minimalism, either extreme is bad. So I'm just whining how the consensus balance is slightly away from my preference, don't mind me if necessary heh
2024-04-16 23:50:28 +0200 <int-e> monochrom: at least your comments have a point
2024-04-16 23:50:38 +0200 <monochrom> Right, pattern guards don't have a notion of ; or layout at all.
2024-04-16 23:50:49 +0200 <Inst> no, because , is a substitute for &&
2024-04-16 23:50:57 +0200 <Inst> ; could be a substitute for or
2024-04-16 23:51:01 +0200 <Inst> ||
2024-04-16 23:51:10 +0200 <monochrom> Ugh how could anyone guess that.
2024-04-16 23:51:18 +0200 <Inst> only if they prolog too much
2024-04-16 23:51:32 +0200 <monochrom> You need to hear my favourite true story.
2024-04-16 23:51:57 +0200 <Inst> Seems like I do.

2024-04-16 23:52:12 +0200 <monochrom> Two decades ago my friend was an on-site tech support person. One day he visited a small company office to install new software.
2024-04-16 23:52:14 +0200gmg(~user@user/gehmehgeh) (Quit: Leaving)
2024-04-16 23:52:37 +0200 <monochrom> The people in the small office kept asking him "Will it support 1048"?
2024-04-16 23:52:46 +0200 <monochrom> Can you guess what "1048" meant?
2024-04-16 23:53:24 +0200 <c_wraith> some local version of y2k?
2024-04-16 23:53:29 +0200 <monochrom> How is any outsider supposed to guess a homebrew insider abbreviation from an echo chamber?
2024-04-16 23:53:42 +0200 <monochrom> Answer: 1024x768 resolution.
2024-04-16 23:54:03 +0200 <c_wraith> I thought about that, but rejected it because 24 /= 48
2024-04-16 23:55:07 +0200 <Inst> uhhh, where did the 48 come from?
2024-04-16 23:55:45 +0200 <int-e> . o O ( XGA )
2024-04-16 23:55:47 +0200 <monochrom> It also "helped" that they were Chinese. We don't prononce the full version as "ten twenty-four by seven sixty-eight". We literally say "one zero two four seven six eight". Then it's easier to see how one would randomly just pick out 4 digits out of it for short.
