ascii_butugychag: adlai: to me it simply means '
i don't have to leave my editor and FUCK NO
I AM NEVER pasting code into a motherfucking shell 10000000 time a day'
adlai: to me, and
i imagine to programmers who have done CL work recently, "slime" means a lot of things that you do NOT want
adlai: ascii_butugychag: sure,
i'm taking slime-the-~idea~ and trying to "take away everything that doesn't look like an elephant"
phf: adlai:
i have no idea what you're trying to say
phf:
i briefly looked at writing a backend for pre-shiva tinyscheme, but it lacks network ports
mod6: aight,
i better get me some lunch to soak up this coffee. bbs.
ascii_butugychag: mod6:
i mark the demise of mit as the moment when they abolished the sicp course
adlai: ascii_butugychag: yes,
i've been following along quietly. not sure what you mean by "a slime", literally interpreted this is rather meaningless as most of the swank-backends is highly CL specific stuff...
i guess you mean a less literal interpretation :)
mod6: how much does actual scheme differ from common lisp or lisp? can
i get a book for lisp (whatever latest megabook alf has posted recently) or do
I need a scheme specific book?
mod6:
i've gotta take a crash course in scheme very quickly or
I won't be able to make heads or tails out of these code submissions. eek!
mod6: <+ascii_butugychag> ideally a vtron ought to be able to apply ANY well-defined operation << ok sure, this could be a separate feature of V
i guess... have to think on this.
mod6: as far as comments in the vpatch that are mearly just for archaeological or annotative purposes,
i think something could be done here especially when we get our own diff/patch.
ascii_butugychag:
i posted probably the most kB of unusable but validly signed crapolade to the ml
mod6: not to worry about your signed genesis tho -
i gardened it out. the mirror just has the right one.
mircea_popescu: this way the human gardener can review and arbitrate the matter and
i (at least hopefully) won't get negrated for it breaking shit.
mircea_popescu: now, one obvious solution (wasn't obvious to me at the time what it was a solution to) is to INCLUDE COMMENTS in the patches, like
i did with my only signed patch
i didn't really intended as part of a final pressing
mod6: hehehe. interesting thoughts here today.
i need to think on this stuff.
mod6:
i wonder if we couldnt find 'the right ones' with some sort of merkle tree that represents the best chain.
mircea_popescu: so have
i. which is what makes the conicidence interesting.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-01-2016#1388268 << absolutely not, the very notion is a violation of vtronics. NOW on the OTHER HAND - human-powered 'gardening' of the vtree is a perfectly fine thing. notice how mod6 is doing a splendid job of it. BUT conceivably it is also possible for archaeologists to take all of the orphaned crud
i ever pasted and come up with a correct vtree
ascii_butugychag: (and, as
i explained very early on, cycled are an error, and anyone attempting to introduce a graph cycle deserves a good thrashing)
mircea_popescu: approach thematter from the other, practical side, maybe it's easier that way. so
i made a patch that did X, then
i made a patch that did X'.
i consider X' to be > X.
ascii_butugychag: but
i will note that introducing a new patch that is binary-identical to an old one, is an error.
mircea_popescu: (and we'll likely end up stuck in THIS sort of mud pits a lot more than
i nthe "obvious" ones everyone thinks about)
mircea_popescu: the reason
i question all this is because suddenly a possibility formed in my head, whereby v could have an equivalent of "longest chain". bitcoin does not follow THAT heuristic idly. but it must be said that a) it's a poorly defined heuristic and b) there are reasons.
ascii_butugychag: so if
i submit frobs-x.vpatch and also-frobs-x.vpatch and they both reference patch frobbed-x-before.vpatch, then
i can press to frob-x OR to also-frobs-x or to any other leaf.
mod6: punkman: good question, not sure at all. can try to take a peek once we get past the 1st.
i've got stuff stacked to the celing right now
mod6: ascii_butugychag:
i'll try to give your new patches a shot tonight.
assbot: Logged on 29-01-2016 10:29:19; jurov:
I know that
i should manage the repository myself, but imo a version field would be good to have so that
I can easily spot if someone posts revised version of the same patch.
mircea_popescu:
i'd rather stop people in the street and ask them to make my women babies than reference whatever package maintained by nowot rando.
mod6: anyway, speaking of great things (tm), shiva really was awesome to see working lastnight. very impressive stuff.
i just gotta learn scheme now hahah.
mod6:
I may have had too much coffee...
thestringpuller: ascii_butugychag: d00d
I have to upgrade to el capitan to scroll on the mouse?!?!?
mod6: And honestly,
I really look forward to working on these projects every day, and with all of you. :]
ascii_butugychag: yes, it could take a whole hour to set up whatever, and
i might die bfore it saves me a whole hour
mod6:
I wouldn't trade what we have here for anything. If
I could work it out, this is all
I would do every day.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> hey mod6 how would you rate working with b-a vs working with job people ? are we just as enervating ye t? << this beats anything else
I've ever encountered by a wide margin.
mircea_popescu:
i'm quickly building a reputation for a wrecker of trb aren't
i !
mod6: and
I think this is what we want. So we can stick with that, and probably not break anything --
i'll just move V & .wot outside of the rotor dir.
mircea_popescu: chiefly because
I can aforehand know where
i need to put the .wot and stick it in there.
ascii_butugychag:
i broke my head on this for a while, and settled on '~/.wot by default, user-specified wot whenever you want' when
i did vtron.
mircea_popescu: mod6 somehow in my contorted worldview what
i just described does count as "push button"
ascii_butugychag:
i almost always find myself with fuck knows what at relative-path-depth-n
mod6: <+ascii_butugychag>
i still don't get why a vtron should use the net at all <<
I'm open to well defined explicit ideas here.
mod6: so
I think that could work actually.
mircea_popescu: the way
i see this is, script tries " mkdir -p rotor/.wot " , if it succeeds it says "wot dir created, populate and re-run please" ; if it fails it proceeds with build.

I've timestamped and categorized trb log lines, as well as improved the messages and removed (seeming never activated) destructive log rotation, here is the signed patch:
https://gist.github.com/polarbeard/961aa315c69b89d2e613 in case somebody with a decent reputation wants to review it so
I can submit it to the ml
thestringpuller: ascii_butugychag:
I just got one of those mice from the vending machine. (We have vending machines at work for accessories. Slowly replacing IT with robots.)
mod6:
I can not reconcile this.
mod6:
I can do that just fine yes, but
i don't think we should populate the .wot directory via script.
mod6: so
I'm going to have the script reference ~/.wot -- this seems like a resonable place to put it -- again, V will not expect it to be there, so an additional param is placed in the V command as such:
mod6: All: Stand-by
I've made some updates to the script referenced in the wiki as to drop in the latest version of V (with the latest 3 patches in the mirror) - im gonna test it, then post it here. It'd be good to have some of you test it too.
ascii_butugychag: (quite worthless,
i must note, without the aftermarker driver that lets you program new patterns in. need this in order even to have middle-click..)
ascii_butugychag: mats: so
i wanted to go and read misra c, turns out it is payware ?
ascii_butugychag: now
i am fighting a compulsion to stick that tape to the bottom of every single object on my desk
ascii_butugychag: but
i will NOT tolerate a megatonne of rubbish in my vpatch just to rename a dir.
thestringpuller: the problem here is
I doubt satoshi had any idea how visa and traditional payment systems scaled in comparison to bitcoin.
☟︎ thestringpuller:
I don't even know if
I should bother reading r/btc. kills brain cells like drugs.
fluffypony: for anyone reading the logs
I apologise for not providing a trigger warning
trinque:
I have seen this maybe 10 times by now
PeterL: my node is syncing, seemed to be getting tons of junk.
I restarted it, using -addnode with the nodes from the wiki, seems to be going good again.
☟︎ PeterL: ^
I was just about to say the same thing!
shinohai: Everyone has spiffy node names but
I.
I just call mine that thing in the corner.
mats:
i just noticed pcengines 'apu2c4' will have ecc support
BingoBoingo: So,
I'm thinking about returning to linux... maybe. Any idea if RadeonSI drivers would work on a musl kernel?
assbot: Logged on 29-01-2016 10:27:57; jurov: btw, while
i'm on it: mod6, does V have any notion of "updates" and "reground" patches?
assbot: Logged on 29-01-2016 08:08:31; ben_vulpes: "this 2.6kloc patch rewrites every log line in the reference implementation, in support of further work
i'm doing on" etc etc
