Conversation with #inferno at Mon Dec 10 05:53:38 2012 on powerman@irc.freenode.net (irc)
(06:08:27) leetspete: anth_r: Plan 9.
(06:11:08) anth_r: interesting. the only short-lived push for that was over by the time i got there (1997). i'd be curious what he had to say about it.
(06:52:37) leetspete: anth_r: What client are you using?
(06:58:20) anth_r: sorry, i've lost context. what now?
(06:59:36) leetspete: IRC client. :)
(06:59:49) leetspete: It did not sequit.
(06:59:58) anth_r: ah, good. i feel less bad. :-)
(07:00:05) anth_r: irc7 on plan 9.
(07:00:23) anth_r: (irc7 with some local mods; sort of half of irc7 and half of irc7.2)
(07:02:06) leetspete: Oh, okay.  I had sent a direct message.  Some do not notify.
(07:04:07) leetspete: But I've never used IRC on Plan 9.  I mostly interact with it via 9vx nowadays.
(07:04:44) anth_r: interesting. i usually see direct messages, but didn't here.
(07:38:40) anth_r: i don't suppose any of you very productive folks have done anything like Oauth in inferno?
(07:40:39) powerman: nope
(07:41:06) anth_r: i keep running into things i want that for.
(07:41:20) powerman: oauth is strange thing. especially when misused to implement login feature
(07:41:24) anth_r: i mean, sort-of-want. it seems like a stupid model to me, but there's all sorts of services which want it.
(07:41:33) anth_r: yeah
(07:43:06) powerman: there is openid, but turns out it's not enough feature-rich and ease to use for non-geeks, thus popular websites decide to [mis]use oauth instead
(07:43:54) anth_r: yeah, i've no interest in using it for login, where it's poorly suited.
(07:44:18) anth_r: it's a reasonable *idea* for distributing authorization control.
(07:44:32) anth_r: but the actual implementation model is weird.
(07:44:51) anth_r: but regardless, if you want to talk to many services, you do Oauth or go away.
(07:48:20) anth_r: anyway. just something i keep wondering about.
(07:48:30) anth_r: enough productivity for the day. off to bed.
(07:48:32) anth_r: later,all.
(07:49:08) powerman: bye

(14:34:03) powerman: it's possible to declare variable to be a function type. not ref fn, just fn:
(14:34:07) powerman: f : fn();
(14:34:24) powerman: but what does it mean and how it can be used?
(14:37:01) powerman: f can't be set to some real function (because it's ref fn), can't be called (not a function), can't be used as type synonym (not a type)…
(14:37:25) powerman: my guess it's syntax error which limbo doesn't report

(17:20:19) Gegemon left the room (quit: Quit: Leaving.).
(17:44:25) rogpeppe: powerman: ref fn is actually a function pointer. you can set it from a real function, and you can call it too
(17:44:47) rogpeppe: powerman: but unfortunately limbo does not support closures
(17:45:01) rogpeppe: powerman: so the utility is relatively small
(17:45:25) powerman: I know about ref fn. Question was about fn.
(17:45:51) powerman: I can declare var of fn type, without ref. But I didn't see any way to use it.

(02:32:51) powerman: limbo.y mention keyword "dynamic", but looks like it's unused. is this removed or not-added-yet feature?

(02:35:49) anth_r: best i can do is tell you it wasn't in 3e.
