asciilifeform: this actually makes sense:

a111: Logged on 2015-07-11 02:26 trinque: becoming a features katamari shitshow
mircea_popescu: sql-to-api thing is actually not half a bad idea.
trinque: very useful thing.
mircea_popescu: mysql for isntance tries with their permissions model, but it's crud.
trinque: it just needs to be written by someone with a brain.
mircea_popescu: and afaik not one actually includes proper metering
trinque: emphatically not as "lets translate SQL to whatever a URL is allowed to do"
mircea_popescu: ie, can i allocate up to 0.1s /day per user ?
Framedragger: does postgrest still use 'basic auth'? :/
Framedragger: that kind of metering would be neat to have..
mircea_popescu: trinque incidentally, auth should be handled via rsa. user passes api two variables : one is a request encrypted to its key ; the other is the request + a server-provided salt hashed.
mircea_popescu: this allows server to allocate all requests to hashes, and that's the "username"
mircea_popescu: then just keep a master table of allowed hashes and their usage.
mircea_popescu: AND whether they may acquire locks ; and how often. etc.
mircea_popescu: (ie, who says all users can acquire locks ?)
Framedragger: as long as the 'check hash' operation is quick enough, otherwise DoS magnet (that's a very alf'y comment i guess)
mircea_popescu: i guess you ip-whitelist if it gets bad.
trinque: doubtful check hash is going to be a significant proportion of "run query" for a reasonably large query
mircea_popescu: and on this model, you can expose all the dbs directly.
trinque: this whole thing actually describes something I have been working on for quite some time.
mircea_popescu: "you want access to X data store ? ask Y for a salt ; see api docs here"
trinque: not nearly done, nor fully conceptualized
mircea_popescu: no more of this should it be json or sexpr and pass via urls bs
trinque: but it is what the web *ought* to have been made atop
Framedragger: ah yeah, i recall you mentioning 'sql explorer' (for phuctor data iirc) trinque. ambitious but delicious project
mircea_popescu: #tmsr-parc
mircea_popescu: all ur ideaz r belong.
jurov: asciilifeform: slime for vim is named slimv, i have tried it and it had almost all the functionality of emacs one... when it worked :( needs more eyeballs.
trinque: Framedragger: problem is that SQL was designed by cancerous fags just like Python.
mircea_popescu: well by the time the libtards are done fucking emacs, it'll work better than it anyway.
jurov: since the vim plugin is written in python, one needs to be wizard in both py and lisp to fix it
mircea_popescu: lol wait wait. c-implementation of lisp glued to vim via python ?
mircea_popescu: can i put in a feature request at this juncture ?
jurov: it's not implementation of lisp
jurov: just an debugger using slime protocol
Framedragger: i'd actually like to see a coherent and all-in-one-place SQL / RDBMS-as-a-general-model critique some time. maybe it exists. usually it's mongodb hipsters complaining randomly, so i'd developed a (too-)generic "ignore 'em all" filter :p
trinque: which brings me to my next point: no fucking seams in the internet db thing.
trinque: Framedragger: they are not equivalent
trinque: SQL was an "end user programming" idiocy, python idem
mircea_popescu: Framedragger afaik trinque is a great afficionado of the whole "db everything"
Framedragger: trinque: right right, so you're talking about SQL as a language, fair enough
mircea_popescu: jurov pity, because i'd have asked for "all strings are unicode strings". should have fixed it right and proper.
trinque: Framedragger: I'll give you a morsel to chew while I make coffee
trinque: why the fuck can't I name and reuse "joins" in SQL ?
mircea_popescu: iirc you can via temporary tables neh ?
trinque: you can create views, yes, but relationships aren't separate, defined things you can invoke at will
Framedragger: can materialized views use joins in the way you want to? i haven't looked into them for some time, so dunno.
trinque: you make the view customers_with_addresses_and_ratings
trinque: rather than "select customers with addresses, ratings"
mircea_popescu: well maybe not that far, but yes, materialized views
trinque: Framedragger: my criticism is that I specify what constitutes the relationship between customers and addresses each time I use the relationship.
trinque: and this is given as a general whiff of endless haphazardness in SQL
Framedragger: aha right, you sort of define it upon every use, which sucks balls and is an example of stupid inflexibility
trinque: makes traversing lots of relationships at once harder to fit in head
Framedragger: yeah, aliasing is an important mental-compression operation. i see what you mean
Framedragger: (there's lack of general flexibility, it's full of baked-in developer-choices so to speak, etc.)
trinque: the language was pulled in the direction of "user interface" by some, "programming language" by others, ended up neither.
trinque: when you try to design for the novice, you must leave essential parts of the problem out, then hope to hide it, inevitably failing.
Framedragger: "there are always leaks." yeah, i mean, no objections i guess.
Framedragger: the "UI/programming-language" juxtaposition is quite apparent when writing pl/pgsql. i dunno, it's a weird feeling.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't say you must. "when you design for the novice in the sense of trying to lie to them about their inferiority, you are stuck with that lie and it gets ever more expensive to maintain"
trinque: better put, yeah.
mircea_popescu: kinda how the entire modern insanity came about. "oh, people are more productive when they THINK they're good, irrespective of how good they are" "yeah, but telling people who aren't good that they're good convincingly has a cost" "well, what if we try and arbitrage the delta-productivity from the first against the marginal-cost from 2nd ?!" "dude what" "no really, if we made all the tools really shitty ? and mass production
mircea_popescu: ? and the corporation ? and government regulation ? and ?" "dude go fuck your mother."
mircea_popescu: possibly the most amply researched stupid idea in the history of human science ; "is there life other than on earth" didn't receive 1% of 1% of the attention.
trinque: if they're only measuring shit by volume, they're going to say great success.
trinque: seems a guy like guido has a particularly bad case of delusional narcissism, too.
trinque: "I can create this smart-guy talisman and bless The People with my disembodied smart."
trinque: idiot I worked for in Portland was always talking about "untapped creativity" in re: end user programming
mircea_popescu: idiots keep giving new names to "the god who'll give me manna"

asciilifeform: modal means you can get stuck in some mode where text isn't going on the screen
mircea_popescu: technically it's what modal means yes
asciilifeform: term of art in editordom
asciilifeform: refers specifically to the idiocy of vi
asciilifeform: ... it made some kind of sense with 300 baud modem, yes. but i dun have one.
mircea_popescu: yes, but it means "you can press keys and nothing is printed". which matches.
asciilifeform: 1 key, 1 press
asciilifeform: not same.
asciilifeform: well i have here a keyboard with two whole extra rows of prog f keys that dun display to screen
asciilifeform: they ain't a 'mode'
mircea_popescu: nono. on old sinclair, first you get the "cursor" into the right mode, THEN you type.
mircea_popescu: what did it have C, K, E
asciilifeform: ah this - yes, vi-like
mircea_popescu: well so then what are you talking about! modal.
asciilifeform: btw another idiocy, arrow keys! they exist ! i WILL use them
asciilifeform: idiocy of c,k,e that is
mircea_popescu: so map them.
asciilifeform: it is mindblowing that vi, that abortion, still is in use. i can only grasp this in light of the alternative being emacs, equally horrid in exactly opposite ways.
jurov: incidentally, arrow keys do work regardless of mode. or i dunno what vim-from-hell alf ran into?

mircea_popescu: classic vi is from like 1976!
asciilifeform: well yes.
jurov: next time all will get into white-hot rage about ed? let's go buy popcorn
mircea_popescu: so a) use vim ; b) there's a humongo economy of strokes, at the cost of muscle memory, if youy care. if you don't car,e go ahead.
asciilifeform: whereas modern vi, if you were to roll in all of the pieces i actually use in daily life (e.g., correct autoindent AND colourization for 50+ languages) it will probably weigh what emacs weighs
mircea_popescu: yes yes, editor wars exist because previous investment, i know i know.
asciilifeform: hey if it had theoretical economy, i'd consider it (periodically i go and actually consider, and find that i have to press literally 500x more button)
mircea_popescu: depends what you use it for. if you msotly use an editor to create de novo text, not good fit. if you mostly use editor to adnotate other people's text, very good fit.
asciilifeform: fwiw a sysadmin uses ~100% vi...
mircea_popescu: insert "you are an idiot!" 500x times in five pages ? vim!
asciilifeform: absolutely.
mircea_popescu: so then.

asciilifeform: i can do the study, hell, buy the machine, but i've nowhere to go in it. at some point might do it anyway when i get sufficiently bored and tired of living.
phf: "get to fly every weekend!1"
asciilifeform: traveling in straight line for hours!111 what marvelous fun
asciilifeform: if a 50k rusty 'cessna' could go across ocean, that'd be one thing.
asciilifeform: but it typically costs ~same to go to 1000km in it, as in a passenger liner.
phf: sort of my thinking about flight sims. only reason i have xplane is for practice
asciilifeform: if you were to go ~every week~ (why???) then yes, save a few pennies. but then your life expectancy is a few years.
asciilifeform: as mircea_popescu once pointed out.
asciilifeform: phf: you have the joystick, pedals, etc. also ?
asciilifeform: (some folks spend almost what real machine costs, on practice pit, i found out)
davout: if you just want to hold the stick at cruise, and do some turning and going up and down, you can just go with any private pilot
davout: no need to find yourself an instructor
asciilifeform: at uni i roomed with an old friend, who dreamed of flying, ended up practicing with xplane, studying like maniac, paid his 20k, got the license, then bought, instead of airplane... a ship. which is afaik rusting in port still.
trinque: there's also the difference in experience: walk into hangar, leave. some factor the anal examination into the cost of going by airline.
davout: they won't even be legally allowed to charge you more than splitting the airplane rental costs
phf: davout: it's easier to find an instructor, than it is to "find any private pilot". plus you know asciilifeform objection "i don't know any private pilots"
asciilifeform: actually i used to know one !
asciilifeform: but he died
asciilifeform: (of old age, not in machine)
asciilifeform: and, theoretically, the d00d mentioned earlier -- also. but he had no plane. and last i knew had taken 'vow of poverty', became academic.
davout: i'm sure you could easily find someone anywhere in the US by hopping onto #pilots or /r/flying
phf: asciilifeform: i don't have any peripherals. i use it for their instrument challenges, and they also have a mode where they randomly fail something in the plane and you need to figure out what do. that sort of stuff
asciilifeform: is there also an 'old car' simulator ?
asciilifeform: where various parts fail...
davout: asciilifeform: there's a big difference between "simming" and "playing"
asciilifeform: davout: yes, but not only in the direction you mentioned, but in the other.
davout: simming == what does this button do? does this work if i do the approach this way? what's that instrument?
davout: playing == yeeeeha
asciilifeform: realistic sim is to study for exam (and, once you passed exam, to increase your life expectancy at the wheel)
asciilifeform: this is why i was bewildered at the answers to this thread, i specifically mentioned 'contemplated playing games again after decade+', 'unwind'
davout: aha
asciilifeform: rather than 'where do i learn to pass exam for driving serious machine'
phf: ah
asciilifeform: to this last question, i know the answer very well, it is not a mystery
phf: i have same reaction to sims as mircea_popescu to counter strike, so when you say sim i think xplane, or precusors like mfs (that i hear some still swear by !!1)
asciilifeform: it is like if someone asked about mining in eulora, and you lot instead answered where he can find actual coal mine to work in
davout: hey! i still use ms word as a vim simulator!!!11
asciilifeform: davout imho is correct! vim needs a sim! to train on, so as not to die in the real deal.
asciilifeform: last time i used vim, i landed on a wing and burned to a cinder.
davout: maybe you should stop trying to vim with joysticks
davout: but seriously, you're a lucky bastard if you live accross the street from an airport
davout: there is like one cessna on this fucking island, and it's used by skydivers
asciilifeform: i for some reason thought that davout had own machine
davout: flying is financial insanity, having one's own machine is double the financial insanity
asciilifeform: and having own auto is not insanity ?
davout: probably not as bad
davout: aeronautic maintenance is horribly expensive, parts are horribly expensive
davout: 100LL gas is double the price of regular gas, and machine swallows four times more
davout: and that's for the two seater cessna 150
davout: i guess having one's own machine can make sense in some cases, mine's not one of them
asciilifeform: four times more per what ? per km ??
davout: if you find a flight school that's also renting it from you or something like that
davout: per hour
davout: cessna 15 drinks roughly 22L/h
asciilifeform: yeah but who the hell counts ~hours~ when using transport ??
asciilifeform: you count per km
davout: s/15/150/
asciilifeform: horse -- eats even less than auto, say.
davout: reasonable car does what? 100km in an hour, drinks roughly 6~7L
davout: and remember that cessna runs on 100LL, which in my understanding is regular petrol, just dried up further to prevent carb icing
davout: is also 2x more expensive
davout: i'm quite curious about the rental rates where you live
davout: around paris, a 150 with gas, and instructor will cost you 140€/hr
davout: i'm kinda considering getting myself a professionnal licence, to fly the big guys
davout: speaking of financial insanity...
asciilifeform: davout: afaik that's about as much fun as being a bus driver... but iirc it pays well.
asciilifeform: (no sleeping ad libitum, however, then. your liner might have to fly at 3 in the morning, or whenever.)
davout: my impression is actually the opposite
davout: fun, but low pay (unless 30 years experience and a380 captain for air france/ba/lufthansa)
deedbot: http://thewhet.net/2016/argentina-comicon-bonbon/ << The Whet - Argentina Comicon Bonbon.
asciilifeform: davout: understandably this is a matter of taste; but out of curiosity, where is the fun ? computer -- does ~all of the actual piloting
asciilifeform: and even if it did not, nobody's doing acrobatics in a 400 tonne barge full of schmucks
davout: i don't think it's the "piloting" part that's attractive to me, but more the "let's go see the sun" when all the other derps are stuck under a shitty stratus shittus overcast layer
asciilifeform: could just move to mircea_popesculandia. plenty of sun.
davout: also the "maybe it's a really boring job, maybe it's really cool" question that could conclusively be answered with "let's fucking try"
asciilifeform: this - true.
davout: also i already moved to sunville!
asciilifeform: it's an honest trade. my criticism was strictly re the 'oooh yeee haw' part.
davout: ah yeah, i don't think there's much of that to be had
asciilifeform: the 'bus', from what i can tell, mostly drives itself.
davout: i've borrowed a bunch of theory books too, and tbh the learning process itself seems pretty cool too
davout: i had no idea such a thing as a gyrolaser existed
asciilifeform: the theory, i found appealing since childhood, yes
davout: i now understand why it makes sense to have speed shown in knots AND mach number fraction
davout: etc.
asciilifeform: davout: is 'gyrolaser' where you live same thing as what english call 'ring gyro' ?
davout: probably
davout: does it have lasers? :D
davout: no moving parts? measures a momentum? same thing!
asciilifeform: we had a neato inertial navigation thread, but i can't seem to find igt.
thestringpuller: How do pilot lessons cost 10k?!? Perhaps having cohorts in the boondocks has its advantages such as farmers with planes...
davout: yeah! that stuff's pretty fascinating
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: it's generally the machine rental time that is 90% of the cost iirc.
davout: thestringpuller: amount really depends on personal ability
thestringpuller: Give a farmer some good booze he'll take you up in the cropduster.
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: if you have one already and can convince instructor to go up in it -- might be cheaper.
davout: you can become a private pilot for 5k$ if you're good and do homework between each lessaon
davout: lesson
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: i dun think the crop duster farmer can Officially certify you etc.
thestringpuller: the more traditional method when I was in school, was join Aviation club. Sit at desk give out free pizza, get free coupon for "lessons".
davout: "certified as long as you don't get caught"
asciilifeform: in usa this is even officially permitted, you can buy certain types of machine and fly unlicensed so long as you do it over the ocean where nobody has to clean up your smashed carcass
davout: asciilifeform: you sure? it's kinda doubtful you don't at the ver least have to understand airspace class in general, and not get in the way of people trying to go somewhere in particular
asciilifeform: iirc it was called 'ultralight'
asciilifeform: and yes, requires that you stay out of everybody's way and die quietly and politely
davout: i have nfi about the US, but in france there's a specific ultralight license
davout: that for some unknown reason you don't automatically get along with your private pilot license
asciilifeform: IANAL, so i've nfi.
asciilifeform: to briefly revisit orig. thread, the thing i found appealing about 'air shooters' as a boy, was not the abstract 'grease wank' of 'oooh, engines, and gears' but the quick-with-your-eyes-hands-feet-shootout aspect of the game, which is not something that exists today in meatspace even in actual air combat (where you program the rocket, fire, and go home)
asciilifeform: so it only exists in imagination, in games, just like you cannot go and play 'meat tetris' very well by digging a real hole and throwing stones into it
asciilifeform: and, while mircea_popescu played 'meat doom', it is not a pleasure available 'on tap' to everybody.
asciilifeform: or (at the risk of sounding like complete idiot, because i did not play it) alchemy in eulora, it works there, but meatspace 'alchemy' is considerably more expensive, painful, and rewards -- few and far between, and most practitioners live and die without accomplishing ~anything...
davout: asciilifeform: get yourself F/A-18 hornet
davout: old but gold
asciilifeform: a bit out of my price range...
asciilifeform: aaah the sim
davout: not *a* f/a-18 hornet duh
asciilifeform: looks nifty, very '90s
davout: i had lots of fun playing it
davout: played the demo for hours and hours
asciilifeform: i had much earlier 'aces of pacific'
davout: no internet == no full game
asciilifeform: and before that, 'f19'
asciilifeform: i think mircea_popescu also had 'f19'
davout: i distinctly remember getting on the train to paris as a kid to go buy the full game
davout: THEY DID NOT HAVE IT IN THE SHOP
davout: so i mastered the demo. demo didn't have the wire extended for carrier-landing? after countless attempts i managed to fucking land on the carrier anyway

davout: "too much graphics! headache!"
asciilifeform: interestingly i never got the headache.
asciilifeform: or motion sicknesses, etc.
davout: "what's this world of warcraft thing?? how do i get in insert mode"
asciilifeform: (only ever got motion sickness in meatspace, on trains, and even there, not always)
davout: how does one get motion sickness on trains? it's like the dullest thing ever
asciilifeform: by reading
davout: are you doing backflips while reading ?
asciilifeform: the underground train in washington lurches, bumps, it is a very sad thing
asciilifeform: they used to work well, then there was some wreck (from poorly maintained equipment) and human drivers were introduced.
asciilifeform: union labour.
davout: i now have this mental image of you reading on a rollercoaster

asciilifeform: somehow the pain switched off the motion-sickness circuit.

davout: acupuncture principles mebbe?
asciilifeform: i have monumentally nfi how. but -- worked.
asciilifeform: probably on the principle of 'arm writhes in agony, can't think about also vomiting'
davout: aha, as in 'really painful', probably not same thing then, body more concerned with "aaaah, injured" than "blergh, poisoned"
asciilifeform: it wasn't even acutely painful, just same sensation as if you had sat on your hand for a while
asciilifeform: but quite unplesant.
asciilifeform: *unpleasant
asciilifeform: connect, some time, 2 9v batteries in series across your wrist, it will be similar.
Framedragger: gotta admire your industrious approach asciilifeform...
davout: while we're on the electricity topic: can i test the fact that my wall socket ground pin is correctly grounded by measuring the tension between said ground pin, and one of the plug holes?
Framedragger: reminds me of some guy who put a wire under his hand's skin, and made compass needle modulate the current (or somesuch). claims that after 2-3 weeks he had gained a genuinely new sense (of absolute direction)...
Framedragger: (no sources for this..)
asciilifeform: Framedragger: this is in the logs
Framedragger: oh. ...of course
asciilifeform: but it wasn't a wire, it was a small neodymium magnet
asciilifeform: no electronics involved
asciilifeform: just magnet.
davout can never remember learning about cryptomnesia
asciilifeform: davout: you can tell whether the ground is ~connected~, but that's more or less it
davout: what could it be connected to that's not the earth?
asciilifeform: the resistance between ground and 'cold' pin should be immeasurably small, in a properly built socket
asciilifeform: davout: it could (and in orc dwellings, often is) connected to nothing at all.
davout: but if it's not connected to anything, how can i observe a tension between it and a socket hole?
asciilifeform: you cannot; can only try to measure resistance between it and the cold prong
davout: between the ground pin and the actual soil ?
asciilifeform: no, b/w it and cold prong (i.e. the one without 220v on it)
davout: isn't "cold prong" the "ground pin" ?
asciilifeform: they are normally tied together, on an iron stake outside the house, yes
asciilifeform: but outside of africa mains socket has ~3~ prongs
asciilifeform: which is what i thought davout was asking about.
asciilifeform: btw a decent ups has this test built-in, and will eggog if it finds that 3rd pin (ground) does not conduct to cold prong (or, worse, has + voltage on it..)
davout: ok, maybe i just suck at engrish, "prong" is either a hole, or a pin poking out of the socket, the poking out one, being connected to the "ground pin", said ground pin being in the soil?
asciilifeform: and yes
davout: ok, so i try to measure resistance between the soil and ground prong, and should find small value
davout: (and try not to kill myself in the process)
asciilifeform: first measure b/w cold ('neutral') and ground
asciilifeform: but better still to simply plug in the pocket-sized tool that does this, it costs maybe 1 $ where i live.
asciilifeform: and has handy eggog lamps.
davout: aha
davout: where i live you don't just "buy stuff"
davout: where i live "it's complicated"

mircea_popescu: STRICTLY that ; nothing else.
jurov: ben_vulpes: haskell is too young
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes jurov haskell is domain specific for domains we're not as of yet interested in ?
jurov: no it's actually quite suitable for bitcoin implementation, i have written performant simulation in it (but had to instrument it not to gobble memory for lazy computation)
jurov: just not stable yet
jurov: 10y old haskell code not worky
mircea_popescu: ah then that's the answer : jurov's not published yet.
mircea_popescu: apparently the "around here" is wider than previously thought.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: fwiw i programmed in it
asciilifeform: it has the prolog disease.
asciilifeform: (and, unlike prolog, is quite massive per se, and not easy at all to implement, and there is ONE usable implementation...)
mircea_popescu: in other irrelevant home flavour, girl making zacusca (the proper ro thing, baked peppers, etc) "what do i do with the juice ?" "freeze it" "hmm... need to get bags we're out" "use an ice cube tray". now ima have veggie broth cubed, for soups!
asciilifeform: 'lazy computation' is -- like it or not -- a horrendous idea.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't suspect he's using THAT part.
asciilifeform: (it is VERY attractive to academitards because it creates the kind of problems which they can later convert into papers)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you can't actually program in haskell 'without using that part', not really
mircea_popescu: there's possibly a language under academia-haskell screaming to get out ; strong types and etc
mircea_popescu: it's unclear if that language reduces then to ada, but i suspect not.
asciilifeform: no, it reduces to ml
asciilifeform: specifically.
asciilifeform: i considered ml as a very, very close contender for 'an ada'
mircea_popescu: this is possible yes.
mircea_popescu: "typed lisp" w/e

asciilifeform: i don't expect an answer.
mircea_popescu: there was a window, but i think it closed recently.
asciilifeform: am quite certain , in fact, that there isn't one
asciilifeform: as someone who ~likes~ 'functional' languages, etc., i still must point out that it is a highly questionable business to use a language where there is not a simple, kindergarten correspondence b/w each line of the program and what the machine physically does, for safety-critical equipment.
asciilifeform: of the type-safe/bounds-safe languages, ada is the only one which fills this description.
asciilifeform: (there is also pascal, but there exists , afaik, no reasonably cross-arch compiler today for it. and ada is a variation on the pascal theme anyway...)
mircea_popescu: there's to my mind two different and unduly conjoined at the hip in practice meanings of "computer". ONE is "i need this tool to amplify my searching - false positives are not a concern, false negatives are very much a concern" ; but THE OTHER is "i need this machine to reliably do boring task for me - false positives are CATASTROPHIC, false negatives not so big a deal".
phf: i would learn pascal if only because it was spoken by knuth (c)
mircea_popescu: as per the first, returning "nothing there" wrongly when i scan hill will result in wolf eating me; returning "wolf" when nothing there will just result in more checks, no biggy.
asciilifeform: i caught the tail end of the pascal era in american school.
mircea_popescu: this kind-of mirrors the two functions of brain discussed in neuroscience, the fuzzy and the sharp state
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: taken literally, the first can simply take the form of 'iswolf(...) { return 1 ; } ' !
mircea_popescu: in wetware these are stress-switched (which is why "stress" even exists in mammals) ; but i don't expect hardware to be able to reconfigure my machine from one to the other - just as long as it does either well i can buy two machines.
asciilifeform: which is probably not what you want.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's a 2 take of 1.
mircea_popescu: no, not what i want.
phf: ru still uses pascal, at least at msucmc when i did evening math school kuryachiy taught everyone C, which i later learned was a kind of rebelling. dept proper uses pascal for all course material
