mircea_popescu: Framedragger ironically, it didn't smell that bad. smell is a subjective sense.
mircea_popescu: hey, hi5 actually survived a while in foreign markets also.
mircea_popescu: oya. most people involved on the business side still have and daily use icq
mircea_popescu: nah, icq was cool. to this day it dominates the pronz, but back in the 90s it was simply the thing./
mircea_popescu: which is kinda the point - the context must be a) narrow and b) poking you in the eye. the problem with irc, and es-fucking-pecially irc as practiced here is that the context is vast, so vast it makes a circle much further out than the general myopia can perceive.
mircea_popescu: i don't think the general public is mentally capable of using irc. it just doesn't fit the reddit/disqus/chatroulette/4chan/whatever thing
mircea_popescu: at least she has her active social life to fall back on.
mircea_popescu: somebody should tell ver the 2010s blue shirts are no longer fashionable.
mircea_popescu: "Allocate an array and free the middle third? Sure! Why not? Multiply a character string times a bit string and assign the result to a float decimal? Go ahead! Free a controlled variable procedure parameter and reallocate it before passing it back? Overlay three different types of variable on the same memory location? Anything you say! Write a recursive macro? Well, no, but Real Men use rescan."
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i love the "immanent trumpreich" bit. kant ftw.
mircea_popescu: steve bannon planning "entirely new political movement" ? OH WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED!
mircea_popescu: yes well not everything can be an immutable structure.
mircea_popescu: trinque ever benchmarked something for resource consumption ? like i dunno, lisp-sha in your implementation vs stock sha in c as provided ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform done ty. 100 10.5G 100 10.5G 0 0 97.3M 0 0:01:51 0:01:51 --:--:-- 101M << gotta love real tubes.
mircea_popescu: so normally you just compile into bytecode via sblc on your box and send the binary to prod box ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose these will pop up periodically until the end of time.
mircea_popescu: that they give each other advice on "how to talk to girls" on the basis of you know, one of them actually once did it / someone once overheard someone doing it is one thing.
mircea_popescu: who the everloving fuck can live in this world where the yearlings think themselves experts in things jesus f christ!
mircea_popescu: i actually planted a bunch in romania, for the flowers.
mircea_popescu: tropane alkaloids aren't usually abused recreationally, because well... not what people usually think is fun.
mircea_popescu: also i dunno anyone'd wanna try get high on this, iirc mostly scopolamine.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, /me walking noticed an interesting flower, long, trumpet like. plucked it, smelled it, very nice smell. checked it out on the internets - it's datura. grows wild here.
mircea_popescu: "will this fix my problem ?" "no, but it will give it color."
mircea_popescu: as it's exactly the sort of you know, "advertising enigmae" you were talking about yest.
mircea_popescu: and yes, putting an -A "TMSR agent ; contact X for discussion" on all curls can't hurt anything.
mircea_popescu: i'm still giving phf his space to figure out his feelings re lisp archive.is
mircea_popescu: this isn't a replacement for archive.is, but more of a defense-in-depth measure.
mircea_popescu: then it could bundle all of these together in a base64'd blob each week and deedbot them.
mircea_popescu:

☝︎ mircea_popescu: whoopdedoo, you push it until it dies by design then you wonder it dies now and again.
mircea_popescu: the entire stack is built pretty much to create this - first, we have a phuctor, and 2mn keys looks like the whole world, and any finds look improbable as shit. then some finds are found, and more keys are fed, so now 50mn looks like the whole world and a few finds a day are expected. BUT THEN a way is found to crack thousands of keys in a week, and well, the echafaudage which held up the original is struggling.
mircea_popescu: i dunno that alf is a db engineer by trade, so it's entirely possible specific measures could help, especially if they're of the magic number ilk of "set X to Y in config file, we didn't docum,ent this anywhere but its tru!"
mircea_popescu: a similar situation to how compression works great on literature and poorly on (proper) random strings.
mircea_popescu: in general db optimization / low consumption success stories rest on a very opposite situation - the lines are only ever interesting in one perspective and light only lights one facet at a time sorta things.
mircea_popescu: lol. yeah, might work here, it's not clear. the problem, you have to understand, is how integrated the data is. sure a db with however many lines did fine in whatever box. the problem is that everything phuctor has, phuctor uses, and so it's very close to the unmitigated nightmare which is "random access"t
mircea_popescu: be marked as dirty after each insert if need be etc. possibly phuctor has grown industrial enough this is actulaly needed.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-19#1570951 << for the record, separate dbs for selects and inserts is the way to go. from experience it can rescue a large project / save 9x% off the hardware costs.the way you do it is that you have a master db copy which is the only one that takes the inserts, and slave dbs which are the only ones that take the selects. replication can be at dedicated sql cluster level or above, slave dbs can
☝︎ mircea_popescu: and from my pov, V is truly great in the sense that it allows a very simple test for when april next rolls around. phf's viewer trivially allows to see what signatures are actually active in the deployed branches of republican code. join that set with the set of box owners and you have a very good first approximation of the l1.
mircea_popescu: not that there's anything wrong with running your own service on your own box. but the pill for collaboration exists and is used.
mircea_popescu: we have V specifically so it saves us from this box-owner / code-writer confusion.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger technically yes you can - make a V root for it, like properly sane people, then he'll just import that / patch it himself when he's ready.

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-19#1570790 << amusingly enough, this is actually true. "i would like to lecture these monkeys in modern psychology" "ok ?" "can you design a shitproof semipermeable membrane that still allows my precious words to reach them ?" "uh. not really. whatever the fuck it is, sooner or later the shit will clog it"
☝︎ mircea_popescu: tbh i think javascript is not ever hated in the context of its original domain, "make drawn man move his arms" ; it's whenever it tries to be other things that it draws ire.
mircea_popescu: might discover it fails via resource exhaustion in the very large dataset that is tmsr wot, but who knows. worth a shot.
