mircea_popescu: roughly speaking the equivalnt of a shelf of make-up in the workshop or "i wanna watch tv on my computor" sorta things. get a husband / get a tv set if that's what you're trying to do and get out of everyone's way.
mircea_popescu: i've been spending the ~week since the various selectatron discussions meditating on the problem. i do not believe javascript is rescuable. not withstanding all the effort derps put into it, javascript is fundamentally a broken idea that for this reason can never be useful. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and speaking of "good things that ruin other good things", is it generally obvious to the esteemed b-a WHY the movement to "more women in tech", "more women in army", "more women in bla-bla" trends ? i thought it is, but then again maybe i'm the only one to whom it is.\ ☟︎
mircea_popescu: d if it WERE addressable it'd just be shittier text. much like the uniform for a whore, some good things ruin other good things.
mircea_popescu: you may think that "hey, so you just found your solution, have the machine put a ¶ or a § before each paragraph and an anchor on it", but no. flat text is fundamentally different from ADRESSABLE text in general, the "paragraph-addressable" is a least-offensive kludge. and yes trilema is written deliberately, and constantly, with a view to breaking addressability from outside. because that's the sort of text it is, an
mircea_popescu: fortunately btcbase does not actually need it as much as flat text. (there's a difference between text that's line-addressable and text that's paragraph-addressable.)
mircea_popescu: from what i hear lisp is "already standardized". i personally am not terribly persuaded by this claim, but will entertain it on a technical basis as the cases may come. who knows, maybe gabriel was right and it is. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-02-2016#1417175 << i support this. the problem with the "easier" approach of "we don't cut whole parts but arbitrary fragments" is that now you not only baked in the fragmentator, which becomes one of your dependencies, but also have to keep track of arbitrary fragments, which are numerous (this is why replacing one file at a time, while dubious, is at least not involving MORE mov ☝︎
ben_vulpes: punkman: aha would you like a stack randomizer while we're at it?
ben_vulpes: phf, asciilifeform: this is a real treat to work with
punkman: and fuck yeah I saved a line!
punkman: ben_vulpes: because I guess nGPL is a global used somewhere else
ben_vulpes: punkman: yeah, a bool there doesn't make sense because it's used as a number of processors.
ben_vulpes: get-difficulty is a straight rip of the c from bitcoinrpc.cpp
punkman: it's not a boolean
ben_vulpes: a casual browsing of the source suggests to me that the processor limiting could be excised. thoughts?
ben_vulpes: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/bitcoinrpc.cpp#0266 << what does it mean for `nLimitProcessors = nGenProcLimit` to be passed as the argument to WriteSetting? an implicit test returning a boolean doesn't make much sense to me as a value for nLimitProcessors
punkman: not a bad idea to write down reading notes and share on mailing list ☟︎
ben_vulpes: and yes, yes. the whole rpc wart must be frozen with nitrogen and smashed into a zillion pieces.
ben_vulpes: punkman: wasn't that forever ago? or is there a new case

punkman: http://observer.com/2016/01/the-return-of-wetwork-kgb-goons-radiated-a-former-associate-in-london/
punkman: "the release of the final report of a lengthy public inquiry into Mr. Litvinenko’s death." ☟︎
ben_vulpes: apropos does a thing
ben_vulpes: this is a mega patch
punkman: mircea_popescu: .. supercute de-windows-ization : http://logs.minigame.bz/2016-02-27.log.html#t23:38:19 << I like the command line sure, but I find editing text without a mouse a hassle, same for trying to remember 1000 keyboard shortcuts for each of 100 apps, or having to spend 10 minutes to figure out obscure cli options to use something once. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: a no
phf: did you pass the ./bitcoind a -swank argument?
phf: if you just connect to 1336 with netcat, and type a bunch of random letters, does it bail with "wrong length" error?
punkman: oh he has a twitter account, that's great https://twitter.com/pontifex
ben_vulpes: what a time to be alive
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2016 22:30:16; phf: he can get me a pm at $150/hr and two junior devs $50/hr each in no time. selection will work by next iteration, but will depend on jquery and react
ben_vulpes: i recommend a thorough course of benjies, piped straight through the developer funnel. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: myup, looks like y'all got a wad of javascript
phf: maybe a skilled fullstack developer could fix the selection widget for us
ben_vulpes: what a night
assbot: Kelly's Heroes Oddball Takes a Rest - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1OEI0Rk )
assbot: Logged on 28-02-2016 05:38:28; phf: asciilifeform: i think he's looking for a way to slice scheme into an arbitrary part of bitcoind, like CInv inv = scheme_apply('inv-process', cons(...));, unless i'm mistaken, but seems confirmed later in log

assbot: 4 results for 'IMPLEMENT_RANDOMIZE_STACK' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=IMPLEMENT_RANDOMIZE_STACK
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-02-2016#1417079 << copied from similar routine elsewhere. it's a cheap stack smash pill. see logz. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 28-02-2016 02:49:59; ben_vulpes: asciilifeform (phf, adlai, mod6_, mod6): okay this is grand and i can see several rpc commands trivially slain in this vein, and others with application of work. but but but! would someone send me a map for running /scheme/ code from within satoshis abortion?
BingoBoingo: Justice Porn from 2013. Take away ashtrays as part of a pretend smoking ban, Fuck you get litter: https://archive.is/61rRZ
phf: i might even produce some instructions for a heathen build using brew/clang/cmake
ben_vulpes: you're a real rubro now phf!
phf: well, after my eulora travails i can trivially build anything on mac os x with homebrew (thanks mp!), in this case there's not even a need to fuck around since b-a approved versions of dependencies have brew formulas for them
ben_vulpes: yeah i imagined that running buildroot wouldn't make sense on a bsdalike
phf: but then i also tend to overthink things, for all i know there's a perfectly trivial solution to all things
phf: which requires a better understanding of how ts's stack work, or perhaps figuring out how to make multiple scheme instances share same oblist or something
phf: ben_vulpes: so the way thing works right now, is that when you connect a new instance of scheme runtime is created, which is then fed init.scm and connected to the network stream fd. right now the pattern that we have is from inside a running instance you can call out into trb and make it do things
ben_vulpes afk for a bit, if not the eve
ben_vulpes: phf: i don't quite know yet. i'm just barely a code-technician, creativity and imagination's another 5-7 years off for me.
mircea_popescu: by 2020 or so, if i do at least 10-20k a day, we might be caught up

BingoBoingo: http://qntra.net/2016/02/2015-irs-breach-estimate-revised-upwards-to-720000-records/ << Pls to confirm I used the correct Bre(a/e)ch
mircea_popescu: lol. may be a long while, eulora took the crown for "most broken republican codebase" sometime this year i think
phf: knuth actually made a version with working crosslinks and table of contents and such, but those cost as much as the printed version and are "personalized". i take it nobody bothered getting rid of watermark and publishing it, or i can't find a copy anyway
phf: i'd like to read knuth chapters for a bit, but aocp warez is surprisingly awful. torrents of pdf scans without table of contents (!!!) and people in comments going "thanks for most useful books evaa!!!". does anybody actually tried using this shit?
phf: current take is naive, uses a list of digits for presentation and a mul/shift/add approach to multiplication. mostly a poc
asciilifeform: it was a forced misery because gnudiff can't rename motherfucking files.
asciilifeform off to meatspace for a spell.
asciilifeform: 1) press a trb

ben_vulpes: so i should be able to leave the tinyscheme dir as tinyscheme? or am i screwing up royally in that my patch applications don't result in a shiva dir?
asciilifeform: when we get a turingcomplete vtron, i will regrind all of my works
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: d'you have a minute to answer shiva questions?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> this is for the first time in like a decade i ever remotely felt like visiting that place. << All Cascadians coalesce to Jewish culture
asciilifeform: i mean, it makes sense in a pressure hull
mircea_popescu: omfg this is cruel. she's a young woman with perky tits. what do you want!
ben_vulpes: yeesh that's quite a face
asciilifeform: i had no idea ben_vulpes was a pashtun.
mircea_popescu: this is for the first time in like a decade i ever remotely felt like visiting that place.
mircea_popescu: check out the jews, made themselves a fucking kibbutz right in the middle of oregon.
asciilifeform: how does one spend a decade before 5 ?
mircea_popescu: a something like that.
ben_vulpes: tis a healthy wot of "fuck you usg" around here
mircea_popescu: this "home education" thing works for me, if and when i decide to knock up two dozen slaves and then produce a litter the size of an average obeast.
mircea_popescu: all joking aside : kids gotta grow up with kids. first few years dun matter, but if he doesn't spend a decade covered in opp starting at about 5 or so he's going to suffer for it.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: think for a minute, about the peculiar nature of crypto.
mircea_popescu: as needed as it may be, a woman takes nine months to produce a cepher no matter how many vulpes are working on her.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> you get a name in this family when you take out your first irs agent << bwahahaha
ben_vulpes: i'm expecting vietnamese-style contact mines launched from a longbow but yes
ben_vulpes: you get a name in this family when you take out your first irs agent
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: re: that, i answered a while back, http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=25-02-2016#1415070 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: FUCKING SHIT ON A STICK ALF WHERE THE FUCK IS PHUCTOR ALREADY!
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-02-2016#1414470 << on an older thread: code takes at least 2 months to review, financial statements ~6, unless you're in a hurry to give asciilifeform 10 btc, may as well shoot for somewhere in that range. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i guess... tho technically it'd be "made into a punk" otherwise it's kind-of ambiguous
asciilifeform: where you sell your arse for a cig.
danielpbarron: a virtual character on their facebook page basically
danielpbarron: i encountered one of these "just friends" chicks somewhat recently : girl hits me up on farceb00k seeing that her friends are friends with me; chats me up daily for like a week; I suggest she come see me and get some food somewhere; her response "what would we do? just talk?" ; mine "sure" ; haven't heard from her since
mircea_popescu: it's a construct.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if there were a type of turnip-cum-cunt that could be fucked, right there in your garden's soil, would you ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sexuate reproduction happens between a passive and an active individual. so we'll have to see what you mean by "sex doll". if it's a literalism, sure, if it's a metaphore prolly no deal.
mircea_popescu: it's a fantasy, not a state.
mircea_popescu: and you know, it's something i actually encountered in teh field ? slavegirl picks up random 19 yo, kinda mousy, manga fan with glasses living with parents sorta chick. they go out a coupla times over the course of i dunno - months ? eventually she cuts her off. turns out teenybopper was turning down ~9 out of 10 invites, never put out, her last email being something like "we'll i'd like to continue being friends". bit
asciilifeform: sex doll is not a woman, etc.
mircea_popescu: if the requirement of "have a friend" is a bar to fertility, other things have to be fixed.
