assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 21:39:10; pete_dushenski: the only way i could explain dodge thefts topping the charts is that only poorfags ~report~ thefts, in much the same way as "all the rapes that happen on us campuses are committed by varsity athletes"
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-01-2016#1381561 << who the everliving fuck ~doesn't~ report the theft? 'oh i don't need the insurance money, just keep it' ? ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i thought 'progressive' enviro-whinerism would demand a ~smaller~ car
asciilifeform: i see this idea, colleagues had children, 'must buy gigantic truck!1111'
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: and you'd be amazed how many buyers preferred the alien. i sold 10x aveos as cobalts in my day.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-01-2016#1381552 << i never understood this idea - what is wrong with a normal passenger car ? you can fit even 2x as many children as adults in it ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: i mean, what substance
pete_dushenski: it's like the most believable pick-up line in the hood : "i'd pick you up at 8, hun, but my charger srt8 got stolen last week and i'm still trying to track down the basterds who dun it."
pete_dushenski: the only way i could explain dodge thefts topping the charts is that only poorfags ~report~ thefts, in much the same way as "all the rapes that happen on us campuses are committed by varsity athletes" ☟︎
BingoBoingo: I mean it was understandable when they did it with the Aveo because they wanted a bottom end car to scare people into buying up.
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell ben_vulpes i'd avoid all chrysler products (including jeep) like the plague. land cruiser/4runner, tahoe/suburban, and explorer/expedition are all worth considering and all fit the "mega-suv with low tco and reasonable maintenance prospects for an american family" niche. that being said, you'd probably be just as well, if not better, served by the 00-06 escape or 97-02 cr-v, both of which should be quiet
mircea_popescu: and then by the time i cleared it, there was a slight melt an d i got a futher two tons off the roof.
mircea_popescu: i got a foot an a half.
BingoBoingo: What I don't get though is the people so lazy they won't do their own driveway and end up housebound three days after the last snow falls
BingoBoingo: When we got our snow earier this week I was the only person the on our street civilized enough to shovel his drive way. Now that there's been a few days for it to melt and refreeze neighbors are complaining they can't get into or out of theirs because they've become too slick. Also precious few sidewalks have been shoveled in town.
thestringpuller: "I'm against war, but I love selling guns."
ascii_butugychag: while i have seen thinking people end up waiting tables etc
ascii_butugychag: i've never seen a human woman land by mistake in a cow pen and end up processed for beef
ascii_butugychag: but i find a good bit of what these people do to themselves to be readily optional, at least in the sense that eating one's nagant is optional
ascii_butugychag: i must admit this glaring omission. i have not.
ascii_butugychag: i can readily observe at least a subset of things they choose to do, when i find myself readily able to avoid doing them
mircea_popescu: i would not presume these people do anything.
mircea_popescu: then finally the "literate" or "white collar" or however you call the despicable postmodern otaku, intellectuals I suppose ? can't even comprehend drudgery, fears anonimity, i can scarcely look down to see what's next.
ascii_butugychag: i'd conjecture that 'africanization' is at its height when the 'food dispenser' ~responds to human buluceala'
mircea_popescu: i don't think anyone sane was seriously thinking the situation may survive. it was painfully obvious we're riding a self-limiting wave.
ascii_butugychag: i verified it experimentally at minimal cost
trinque: thestringpuller: yep, though not one I've passed any judgement on yet, other than "is elsewhere"
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: that article makes me think of (i entirely forget the source) - approximately - 'every man's life has a time when things were working correctly'
mircea_popescu: no i meant sarcastically, cus it parted.
trinque: well. I certainly didn't change the configuration to get that to connect.. merely the origin
thestringpuller: I might do another sync just to construct a graph.
thestringpuller: I want to see where the "churn" is in TRB.
ascii_butugychag: but really in his harem scenario i'd imagine he would build something more like a horseshoe shape, so the users can face one another
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag incidentally, i suspect you'll find the latest quite very interesting, if you manage to wade through it all.
ascii_butugychag: i prefer mircea_popescu's idea
trinque: ascii_butugychag: was there something else I was supposed to say aside from NICK to get going?
ascii_butugychag: i suppose the theory is that we are morons, and will conclude that 'trb is broken, can't sync' ?
trinque: in related news, deedbot- will be back when I figure out why it can no longer connect to freenode, having only changed his external IP
trinque: I have seen ample evidence to suggest it in deedbot's logz
mircea_popescu: trinque i suspect this is what drove alf's ideas of you know, deliberate sabotage against trb nodes.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> like it or not this is the level of scrutiny that patches have to face, even if it makes develoipment slow. << i very much agree with this methodology.
trinque: the goddamned deedbot node would not sync no matter what... untli I changed his external IP
thestringpuller: i don't know in practice how "unknown unknowns" affect the system.
mircea_popescu: nono, i prefer my own quote! http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-01-2016#1381014 ☝︎
thestringpuller: well openssl will eventually need to be excised as well, what to replace it with, I don't know.
mod6: I think it's vital that we all gain a good grasp of what the intricacies are in this code - myself included.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> my one question, and not to mod6 in particular, is : can unsigned int nSize = ECDSA_size(pkey); be trusted to not fuck up the size ? << Just to touch back on this again - I'd like to see more of this. If you happen to be reading through the code, and there is a question, ask - let's discuss.
terminal2: Only takes a couple of breakout successes to make ETH take off I think
terminal2: I've never had a GPG key before lol. I will make one tonight. On ETH: While I don't see a reason for established companies to re-use ethereum - I think you need to account for all the companies nerd kids will create ontop of it - which will grow
mircea_popescu: i suppose in the future there will be the principal cause of war :
ascii_butugychag: but i'm probably the last one alive who gives half a shit
ascii_butugychag: interestingly, i did some digging,
ascii_butugychag: i think i already mentioned them in the logz
jurov: oh i meant pirely software development
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: i think everybody remembers the o-rings
mircea_popescu: i still recall the feynman conundrum. to me it's the archetype for this.
jurov: i.e. ennumerating mistakes, not people
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: no, but i've met hordes who just ~loved~ faux-accountability
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: i've been wondering, what the nazi variant of 'v' might look like
punkman: PeterL: I guess you could rotate the log
PeterL: so should I do something to it while it is running?
thestringpuller: i've invested in hobos. not really an investment as much as charity.
mircea_popescu: i guess by this argument we shall invest in hobos.
AdrianG: thestringpuller: i never argued against that.
mircea_popescu: i like broads.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea why you think this is a use.
AdrianG: mircea_popescu: i think a programmable ledger has legitimate uses. unfortunately for ethereum holders, those ledgers are going to be private and inaccessible from outside.
AdrianG: i remember at the peak of btc 2013 heights, litecoin was something around 11% of the btc marketcap
terminal: I'm a software developer who is interested in the ecosystem, I see a lot of practicality in ethereum. Mostly I'm just looking for longterm gains
PeterL: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-01-2016#1376728 http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-01-2016#1376731 << Later I realized why I missed the isomer joke: L is isomer of D, R is isomer of S, not quite interchangeable ☝︎☝︎☟︎
terminal: I'm a guy who's thinking about buying a significant amount of ETH
mircea_popescu: PeterL> y'all are a bunch of pansies, afraid of a bit of snow << ho i knew took a (well earned) vacation to morocco in the middle of the carpathian winter once. her fondest memory was that there was a tiny bit of snow just as she got ou of the bus, and everyone in sight was on their ass. "they have no idea how to walk on snow, the africans!"
ascii_butugychag: as for why they'd close the trains, i cannot say except that the latter are in a historic state of disrepair.
ascii_butugychag: i suspect that usa isn't ~long~ enough to feature this scene
ascii_butugychag: i would have ignored it but there was much noise about preemptive closing of the trains
mircea_popescu: from what i hear from people who'd know, tis a common affliction.
ascii_butugychag: (which is why i normally like to write'em)
mircea_popescu: http://dpaste.com/2EZJVXA.txt is what i'm working on atm
mircea_popescu: so i wasn't being sloppy.
ascii_butugychag: am i missing something ?
assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 12:42:36; mircea_popescu: and also, since we're taking out memcpy(&vchSig[0], pchSig, nSize); in favour of, from what i understand, unsigned char *pos = &vchSig[0]; are these actually and in fact equivalent ?
shinohai: http://i.imgur.com/DXUmKLZ.png?1
mircea_popescu: i'm sure if they could.
mircea_popescu: Steevo moaned, “I can’t even afford a pizza for the wife and kid on Friday night << the depth of the fucking disconnect. i wouldn't even eat what he calls pizza, if it were free. in fact i'd have serious compunction giving it to some begging dude.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-01-2016#1380928 << actually i'd say this is his best one yet. slowly a sort of milleresque dickensian balzac may emerge out of that fellow. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "The number of video views rose to almost 40,000 within a day" << sigh. this is notable in what fucking alt-world ? i remember the earlier days of "omaigerd teh interwebs matter" when the numbers destined to impress the reader were in the millions. by now it's as if "consensus" has been achieved around the proposition that such a statement is impressive period, and the number's irrelevant. 40k people viewed every singl
mircea_popescu: i can't help myself but suspect there may have been a good reason for the weird, even given the immense piles of pointless insanity scattered throughout the code.
mircea_popescu: especially after hanging out here i trust c++ about as much as php with these sorts of things
mircea_popescu: and also, since we're taking out memcpy(&vchSig[0], pchSig, nSize); in favour of, from what i understand, unsigned char *pos = &vchSig[0]; are these actually and in fact equivalent ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-01-2016#1380835 << yeah well, that's sheer insanity. i wouldn't. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: "As always when a large group of people without prior exposure to Jace are introduced to his world, every single existing theory on his authenticity was brought up and discussed in great detail, as were questions concerning the state of mental health care in the United States, the situation of veterans, and the practicality of using a Prius in a street race." << ladies and gentlemen, i present...my peers in the eyes of american law.
ben_vulpes: AND NOW I BLESS THEE WITH THE HOLY BIGNUM THIS FUNCTION PASSES ALL AROUND ITSELF
mod6: i'll type this out anyway.
ben_vulpes: ah i see
mod6: i'll note the code is not *identical* it does have different greater than, less than signs.
ben_vulpes: i get the conditional branching on the flag, but now how the identical code in the branches enforces high/low-s-ness
ben_vulpes: i may simply be exhausted, but i don't see immediately how the code inside the two branches is supposed to work
mod6: i apprecaite you all trying to help me.
mod6: i guess we can pick this up tomorrow, or whenever.
trinque: and so shall I, gnite #b-a
