00:01 Emerald2 I will try to find somebody who knows about the translations.
00:01 Sveta don't worry about sleep too much, i don't mind waiting around for several days
00:02 ANAND joined #minetest
00:02 Sveta i also couldn't figure this out https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=2815&p=38602 , would be handy to know - have a friend who wants this feature but there is not enough explanation in this post

08:39 Emerald2 We had somebody earlier asking about translations.
08:40 Emerald2 Inventory items was the thing mentioned, but possibly are other translation issues too. (for anyone who wakes up and has some answers about that)

12:32 jluc c'est d'ailleurs ça qui est recherché
12:33 jluc pas choisir ça améne à des articles comme celui introductif aux outils ecommerce
12:33 jluc je me sers pas de ces outils donc je sais pas trop leurs états
12:34 jluc mais comme ça j'aurais tendance à croire
12:34 jluc qu'à part la suite autour de bank et tout ce qui va avec, les autres bougent pas et sont pas recommandés
12:35 jluc enfin, qu'il faudrait pas les recommander
12:36 jluc sans être certain non plus...

19:16 rubenwardy Emerald2: can't help with that, sorry
19:16 Emerald2 Aww. I was hoping you'd know something about that.
19:17 rubenwardy ohhh, by I do they mean inventory?
19:17 rubenwardy the best way to contribute now is to work out how it actually works
19:17 Emerald2 Inventory was mentioned but there may be other concerns as well.
19:18 rubenwardy I don't know how it works, so I can't write a chapter on doing it
19:18 rubenwardy it's the sort of thing that everyone needs to do
19:18 rubenwardy look at Android for example
19:18 Soni what's a graphic-token language?
19:18 rubenwardy it's harder to hard code text in a specific language than it is to make it translatable
19:18 rubenwardy so most things are translatable
19:18 rubenwardy Soni: I have no idea, google it
19:19 Emerald2 <Sveta> hello :) it does not look like the list of items (available from 'i') is internationalized, is it? how do i participate?
19:19 Emerald2 <Emerald2> Hi Sveta. Are you talking about translation, or something else?
19:19 Emerald2 <Sveta> yes, about translation
19:19 Soni Xiong: what's a graphic-token language?
19:19 Emerald2 ^Persons actual words for clarification. :)
19:19 rubenwardy hmm
19:34 Soni how does someone dump a term like that on here and then never comes back :<
19:40 ssieb joined #minetest
19:41 VanessaE Soni: Scratch.
19:41 VanessaE https://www.makeblock.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/scratch1.png
19:41 VanessaE I'd call that a graphical token language
19:41 rubenwardy is that 1.0?
19:41 VanessaE idk, just googled.
19:41 rubenwardy lol
19:41 Soni I thought APL was a graphical-token language?
19:42 Soni idk I asked about nonverbal programming languages
19:42 Soni I've no idea
19:42 VanessaE there's no such thing as far as I Know
19:43 VanessaE I wouldn't even put APL in that category
19:43 VanessaE as its just using common mathematical symbols instead of spelling things out.
19:44 Soni I believe there is such thing
19:44 Soni or could be if I wrote it
19:44 Soni but if I'm asking for a non-verbal programming language there's probably a reason for it xD
19:45 Soni :(
19:45 VanessaE don't.
19:45 Soni don't what?
19:46 VanessaE don't bother creating such a thing.  there are plenty of languages already, ranging from any-idiot-can-learn to 30-year-veteran-will-struggle.  it's not worth the effort.
19:47 Soni seriously I'm only able to talk right now because I drank a bunch of coffee earlier today
19:47 VanessaE when I was growing up, we had BASIC, and every kid with a C64, Apple, Atari, could program.
19:47 VanessaE today, there's Lua at least, idk what else is that easy
19:47 Soni python's actually easier than lua :p
19:48 VanessaE depends on your metal organization.
19:48 VanessaE mental*
19:48 VanessaE I can do Lua, but not Python.
19:48 VanessaE but then don't ask me to program in C/C++
19:48 Soni (I gave up on it because HTML, but also given what I was doing lua would definitely have been harder)
19:48 VanessaE (I can muddle my way through simple stuff, but not anything truly useful)
19:48 rubenwardy Lua is simpler, but Python is used a lot more in education and has more support
19:49 Soni python's pretty good for processing HTML forms
19:49 Soni (UA-side, not server-side)
19:49 VanessaE you mean some library is :P
19:49 Soni no
19:49 rubenwardy I'd like see Python use with Minetest, simply for the educational aspect
19:49 Soni I mean it has good libs for parsing the HTML tree
19:49 SmugLeaf joined #minetest
19:49 rubenwardy like, in the MT ecosystem
19:49 Soni but beyond that, you're on your own
19:50 Soni I managed to get as far as extracting the forms and associated form elements out of the tree
19:50 Soni then I kinda gave up on it
19:50 Soni and it "only" took me 3 days to do that
19:50 Soni I don't wanna think about how long that'd take me in lua but it'd be a lot longer
19:51 Soni still hate python's syntax
19:51 Soni but it was the best tool for the job
19:52 Soni huh, guake can split terminals now
19:53 Soni this would've been useful to know yesterday
19:55 Soni but anyway
19:55 Soni VanessaE: there are plenty of "verbal" languages around
19:56 Soni I don't really know of any practical "non-verbal" language tho
19:56 VanessaE just.  don't reinvent the wheel.  find a language that does the job.  maybe write a library that others can benefit from.
19:56 Soni I know plenty of "non-verbal" languages but none of them are what I'd call "practical"
19:56 VanessaE you want non-verbal, there's brainfuck and whitespace
19:57 VanessaE there's nothing more non-verbal than those two.
19:57 Soni (and yes, I do enjoy using them very much, but because they're not exactly practical it ends up making them less-than-useful)
19:58 Soni VanessaE: both of those are APL-like in a way
19:58 Soni and scratch is a little too... verbal. it relies heavily on words as it's mostly designed as a learning tool.
19:59 VanessaE exactly my point.  don't give the drooling morons out there an "in".  coding should be left to people who are willing to *learn*
20:02 Soni <VanessaE> [...]  coding should be left to people who are willing to *learn*
20:02 Soni so you're saying I'm not?
20:02 Soni you're saying NVPLs are easy?
20:02 Soni you're saying you're an ableist?
20:03 Soni okay I shouldn't be so hard on you, sorry
20:03 VanessaE no.
20:04 Soni a quick story: so I drank coffee today, right? well, I'm kinda touching phpBB 2 a little. and I can't really deal with php all that well, but the coffee helps.
20:04 VanessaE I'm saying if you were to make such a programming environment, you're enabling others to get in without learning.
20:04 VanessaE there are enough idiots out there in normal population, we don't need 'em in the coding world, too.
20:05 Soni however, coffee comes with a few side effects: it makes me wanna poop, it makes me unable to sleep, and it makes me constantly hungry which is generally distracting when working with php
20:05 VanessaE tl;dr if I could learn BASIC at 11 years old, as did so many of my peers, then clearly a graphical-token language is NOT needed.
20:05 Soni (altho I'm getting through it, slowly)
20:06 Soni VanessaE: if someone in a wheelchair can drag themselves and the wheelcahir up a flight of stairs, then clearly a ramp is NOT needed?
20:07 VanessaE not the same thing.
20:07 Soni yes, it is.
20:07 VanessaE bullshti.
20:07 VanessaE bullshit.
20:07 VanessaE enabling stupidity is not the same thing as helping get around a disability
20:07 Soni if someone can walk, then they don't need a wheelchair?
20:08 Soni what if walking is painful for them?
20:08 VanessaE in fact, they do not - if they can walk more than a certain distance without too much pain or risk of falling (I think the legal cutoff is 20 feet)
20:08 Soni so they shouldn't be allowed a wheelchair?
20:08 VanessaE but that's still not the same thing.
20:09 VanessaE generally, stupidity is not inherent.  it's the result of bad parenting and lack of good schooling.
20:09 VanessaE a disability is not the same thing
20:09 VanessaE I should know.
20:09 VanessaE I am disabled.
20:10 VanessaE as was my husband for 15 odd years until he died.
20:10 Soni so how come you can be so damn ableist?!
20:10 * VanessaE growls.
20:11 VanessaE because I remember some of the legal requirements I had to deal with during my disability hearing and later when *I* was in a wheelchair.
20:11 Soni are developmental disabilities not in your vocabulary?
20:11 VanessaE I eventually got out of said chair, pain and fall risk be damned.
20:11 VanessaE no one but you is trying to shoehorn disability into a discussion about coding.
20:11 VanessaE so just fucking stop it.
20:12 Soni because *it is a discussion about accessibility in coding*
20:12 VanessaE NO
20:12 Soni it has *always* been one
20:12 Soni at least for me
20:12 VanessaE this is NOT accessibility.
20:12 Soni it's what this has always been about
20:12 Soni it's what I've been fighting for for like 5 years now wait what
20:13 Soni NVM IT'S BEEN ALMOST 7 YEARS
20:13 VanessaE if you're too dumb to learn Lua or something, you're too dumb to be a coder, period -- and 95% chance you're that dumb because you had bad parenting, lack of schooling, and are today unwilling to put in the hours to learn.
20:13 Soni VanessaE: you're a classist ableist
20:14 VanessaE I knew a guy years ago who was so disabled he could only type with an implement attached to his head.   nice guy though, smart enough to be a coder if his apparatus could allow it.
20:14 Soni https://github.com/SoniEx2/Stuff/tree/master/lua
20:15 VanessaE (I don't know whatever became of him, this was almost 30 years ago)
20:15 rubenwardy VanessaE: that's gate keeping
20:15 VanessaE if you can't figure that print("foo") will display the word "foo" somewhere, and are unwilling to learn what it means, you should not be coding.
20:16 VanessaE rubenwardy: it's about being willing to *learn*
20:16 Soni oh and you're an elitist
20:16 VanessaE "gatekeeping" would imply not even allowing access to learning materials.
20:16 VanessaE fuck off, Soni .
20:16 Soni am I wrong?
20:16 rubenwardy I learned programming using scratch
20:16 VanessaE dead wrong.
20:16 rubenwardy Scratch, visual basic, and blitz basic
20:16 rubenwardy But mostly scratch
20:16 VanessaE rubenwardy: those are all still very much word-base languages
20:17 VanessaE based*
20:17 Soni I learned programming by reverse engineering and ripping off C++ (or was it C#) programs into javascript
20:17 rubenwardy I thought this conversation was against scratch?
20:17 VanessaE rubenwardy: no.
20:17 Soni it literally doesn't matter
20:18 VanessaE rubenwardy: it's against the concept of a graphical, purely symbolic language of some kind that would require little intelligence and time spent learning even the basics of program flow.
20:18 Soni (btw: no, I wouldn't recommend it. unless you have a *lot* of time on your hands and are good with math and logic)
20:19 VanessaE rubenwardy: as in something like APL taken to its logical extreme, think all emoji to describe a series of events.
20:19 Soni VanessaE: I think the word you're looking for is "AI" or "ML"
20:19 Soni not "graphical bash environment"
20:19 VanessaE no, it is not.
20:20 VanessaE you ask for a graphical, symbolic language, a page full of emoji is what comes to mind.
20:20 Soni I don't care what you think you know but I can assure you, you don't know
20:20 VanessaE and you do?
20:20 Soni yes
20:20 fwhcat Soni, hahaha
20:21 Soni and I didn't ask for a graphical, symbolic language
20:21 VanessaE [02-06 14:18] <Soni> what's a graphic-token language?
20:21 Soni ask Xiong
20:21 Soni I didn't *ask for* a graphic-token language
20:22 Soni I asked what the hell was Xiong saying
20:22 Soni or whoever it was
20:22 fwhcat graphical symbolic language doesn't exist. Because behind any graphic you will see on screen, there is code, and there is a very high probability that the symbols will match words or expressions even if you don't see it.
20:22 Soni really, you've just proven yourself to be ableist, classist, and elitist, and you can't read
20:23 VanessaE ok, so he did.  the point is the same -- such a thing probably does not exist and sure as fuck never should, because it would encourage the drooling idiot who CAN learn but doesn't WANT to, to get into "programming", if you can call it that.  If you think code quality these days is shit, imagine how much worse it can gety.
20:23 VanessaE -y
20:23 VanessaE ok, I've had enough
20:24 Soni was kicked by VanessaE: take your insults somewhere else
20:24 sfan5 from the point where SoniEX joined a few days ago I was wondering why people were feeding the troll
20:24 VanessaE sfan5: he's been here off and on for years/.
20:25 VanessaE only just recently showed back up.

23:54 nri hey
23:54 nri What  server you play on?
23:55 Emerald2 It has varied over the years. I haven't been playing survival servers recently (and I don't usually do creative).
23:55 Emerald2 So aside from making puzzle boxes on 'inside the box', I haven't been playing that much minetest.
23:55 Emerald2 Well also the server I *was* playing on went down.
23:55 nri oh ok
23:57 Emerald2 Were you wanting some server recommendations?
23:58 nri no i play Redcat
23:58 TC01 joined #minetest
23:59 Emerald2 I've never been to Redcat, I don't think.
23:59 nri i just wanted to see what the irc was
23:59 nri What do you do on the irc?
