phf: asciilifeform: aha, i figured as much, idle curiosity about where
the hardware boundaries lie. we'll find out soon enough!
mod6: Nice pics BingoBoingo, funny comments
too
mircea_popescu: yes well, not everyone's an asshole. i don't recall
the last
time someone came up with
the idea of assaulting ro embassies.
phf: asciilifeform: i would be pleasantly surprised if
the machine can have a blobless video/wifi
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Seriously, most hoppable fence of
them all so far. Except well, Panama but
they don't have a fence at all. Front door opens into
the street.
mircea_popescu: ahahaha
this guy. "lawn colored bird" "rock colored bird".
a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 16:40 asciilifeform: and
the hardware ~is~ shit. boot up one of
these (if you can actually get it
to boot.) and say hello
to 1 fps graphics, disks without dma (you don't know what
these feel like until
trying personally), nic
that works when
the moon is full strictly, etc.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-25 03:25 phf: heh, main changes in recent versions of slime: additions of mezzano interaction (lisp "operating system"), but
the lulzy part additions of large variety of deprecation errors and warnings.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-25 04:01 mircea_popescu: but in
the general i suppose polarbeard's adventure is kinda illustrative of YET ANOTHER failure mode of personal heroics. besides
the "lalala i can't hear" style
there's apparently also
the "oh, who has
time for small steps, i'ma make huge contributions as a virtual unknown".

trinque:
there wasn't anything wrong with polarbeard's patches in general, he just happened
to be doing his work when
there was a lot of regrinds going on in
the
tree and after
third
time he was asked
to regrind he decided he had enough and quit
lobbesbot: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
spyked: the biggest win point is imho
the chair
they placed
there: "please sir,
to admire
this fine fork"
a111: Logged on 2018-04-25 04:27 mircea_popescu: someone somewhere has like... a very large pitchfork or something. "town attraction" "why, because you folk spend
too long in
the sun ?"
a111: Logged on 2018-04-24 23:41 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, diana_coman , et al, other folx who
travel -- i'd like
to get a picture of whether
there is 'market' in l1/l2 for a pre-engentooated ( laugh at
the laddel-ism, but it promises
to be a somewhat painful process involving crocodile and eeprom writer ) 'c101pa' rockchip lappy .
mod6: yeah, i remember smelling it in
the air.
trinque: lots of oil out
there; only real reason
to go
mod6: That day I
think I set a PR for furthest driven in one single day: OKC->Dallas->El Paso->Tucson
mod6: "This is
the birthplace of First Lady Laura Bush!" ... zoooooom
mod6: I went
through midland/odessa once, didn't stop. Kept foot on gas.
mircea_popescu: "As in many municipalities, some of
the largest employers are in
the education, government, and healthcare industries."
mircea_popescu: kinda
the same mental process
that impels doods
to save
their largest booger.
phf: well it's
the world's LARGEST jackrabbit, so ya gotta see it!
mircea_popescu: someone somewhere has like... a very large pitchfork or something. "town attraction" "why, because you folk spend
too long in
the sun ?"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if anything screams "deserted midwest" more
than
these "tall statue" shenanigans...
mircea_popescu: "Odessa is a city in western
Texas. Downtown, Jack Ben Rabbit is an 8-foot-tall statue of a jackrabbit. "
phf: pivo and pollo mexican russian fusion food odessa,
tx
☟︎ trinque: after
that, he says his computer didn't work (hey, you're a computer guy, right?) and showed me a picture of a dell laptop docking station, so who knows. maybe he goes out and drinks beer on his chicken
trinque: to digress, one of
the guys called
the porch a "pollo" and I swear he was fucking with me.
trinque: long day, little sleep. spent
the morning directing movers.
mod6: thx for posting
the links gentlemen.
trinque: I forgot you had
the wandering patches
too.
mod6: One vpatch
that is looking pretty nice is ben_vulpes's logging sub-string chop chop.
mircea_popescu: goes right back
to
the problem of
the unknown. i CAN shoot down bikeshedding if i know
the person. i can't if
they're unknown, because
then it's legitimate part of dogs sniffing butts getting
to know each other.
mod6: phf:
this is a solid point. I
think everyone wants
their own way of logging/logging statements.
phf: yeah, it was a combination of factors. his logging facility patch received a lot of criticism,
though i now regret voicing mine. it's a bit of a bike shed problem, everyone has
their own idea of how
to do it "right", but it's not done
to
this day.
mircea_popescu: phf, a yeah,
there was some of
that
too, it's coming back
to me now.
mod6: <+trinque> mod6: I've got a sendrawtxn patch sitting over here << actually, i should mention
that i /did/ create a
trb sendrawtransaction (just
this one rpc call) vpatch late last year, but never sent -- really wanted
the rest of
the gang 'create', 'sign', etc.
mircea_popescu: but in
the general i suppose polarbeard's adventure is kinda illustrative of YET ANOTHER failure mode of personal heroics. besides
the "lalala i can't hear" style
there's apparently also
the "oh, who has
time for small steps, i'ma make huge contributions as a virtual unknown".
☟︎ phf: mircea_popescu: he had one megapatch
that i remember being somewhat controversial, it's
the one where he reworked
the logging facility, but
the other
two look reasonably small (rm unused functions and add sendrawtransaction rpc). i remember
there being some issues with asciilifeform_malleus_mikehearnificarum and asciilifeform-programmable-versionstring
that required at least
two regrinds, which was around
the
time he was working on his.
mod6: sure, you're doing good work. looking forward
to your submissions when ready.
trinque will keep
the spatchcocking
to his own blog for now
trinque: I don't expect
to make
that one mainline "trb"
though, unless somewhere down
the line somebody also breaks off script.cpp into a
tx compiler, breaks off a signer, etc
mod6: So im
trying
to balance all
that a bit.
mod6: That said, it doesn't make a
ton of sense
to be off
tilting at wind-mills if
there are already reasonable solutions.
trinque: mod6: "patch exists" is no reason
to not go exploring on your own
mircea_popescu: he made one megapatch, people were like "yeah, nice, now split it out in bits" ; he
tried but didn't find a ready way
to do it and kinda went silent.
mod6: re: polarbeard is right, guy simply isn't in
the wot (afaik), so partly, I'm
trying
to solution on my own without polluting my path
too much.
mod6: but hey hey!
trinque: if you're sitting on some patches for
this, please send along when you get
the manifest part working.
mod6: I've been working a bit further on my own, seeing how it could be done by what exists. I should look back at polarbeards stuff
too.
mod6: Yeah, nothing really wrong
there I suppose, as stated, basically undertook
the exercise as "educational". Just
to see what could be done.

☟︎ trinque: I'm blocked on not having
the manifest, so next on my plate is
to regrind every patch with a manifest entry.
trinque: (got
the walletless patch
too;
trb node on pizarro is walletless)
trinque: got one
that rips out
the noui.h idiocy
too, and a few others
that need finishing before I fork a walletless
trb
phf: though sbcl found a way
to fuck with
the standard do, using style warnings (ambiguity in
the standard can be encouraged in a specific direction along
the "mktemp is unsafe!1" lines)
phf: anything
that's not covered by standard, but is available in
the implementation, like
threading
mircea_popescu: how exactly does
this work, something can "deprecate" in lisp ?
phf: heh, main changes in recent versions of slime: additions of mezzano interaction (lisp "operating system"), but
the lulzy part additions of large variety of deprecation errors and warnings.
☟︎ mod6: I am currently in
the early stages of next steps; re-implementation within
the existing framework. More
to come on
that front as I have updates.
