diana_coman: you can certainly do it
the way you describe - I don't see a hard reason against it if you are all right with passing
the handle around/keeping
track of it everywhere; other
than
that,
the functionality itself should be fine
ave1: nice code BTW, very easy
to read and understand.
☟︎ ave1: I understand, and
then
the handle will also be needed in
the gen keypair etc.
ave1: And do get_random_prime
twice on it, but
the second
time not from
the start
diana_coman: to answer
the question directly: you can certainly do it with reuse;
the reason I avoided it
there is because otherwise
the caller needs
to handle/be aware of
the entropy source per se; which did not really belong in
the caller
ave1: I want
to use a single "entropy" file.
☟︎ ave1: Yes, I understand
that part. I'm looking at 'get_random_prime'. Which will be called
twice
to generate a key-pair.
diana_coman: ave1
there is open_entropy_source which simply opens it and returns
the handle;
then you can use it for as long as you want, with get_random_octets_from (rather
than get_random_octets)
ave1: diana_coman, I'm reading
through
the eucrypt / RSA code and see
that
the 'get_random_prime' function will open and close
the random number generator itself. I would like
to open
the entropy source once and reuse it, but maybe
there is good reason
to do it like
this and I should not attempt
to do it differently?
mircea_popescu: the "online ads"
thing is so fucking dead, alphabet continuing
to claim
that as income is much more scandalous fraud
than anything gaddafi ever did.
mircea_popescu: but
this paradigm where "we will cater
to
the peniless but opinionated female herd, instead of
the rich and actually powerful white male" fucked
them over.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: this entire exercise in idiocy has, practically speaking, resulted in me paying various hard working
ticos a grand or so,
to
the people fucking in
the ass
the "security" paradigm of pantsuit.fetlife. IN LIEU of having paid
that much, and rather more,
to
the fetlife itself.
☟︎☟︎☟︎ BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i had no idea how much i actually missed qntra. <<
Turns out it isn't absence
that makes
the heart grow fonder, but
the return!
mircea_popescu: sooo... big deal, 1 sent girl
to buy a bagful of phone numbers.
they cost, no joke, $2.5 here. EXCEPT, of course,
they want your "cedula", you know, "por activacion".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so big deal, right, i have more c blocks
than baku had girlfriends. except, wait for it... new accounts require SMS verification! everything must be facebook!
mircea_popescu: in other lulz of
the ongoing fetlife saga,
they've MASSIVELY rate limited profile views. check out ~100 people in an hour or so, get
timed out.
renard_abroad: but also are very strangely short and frequently wearing
the kind of makeup
that makes skin worse
renard_abroad: they wear heels and have bare midriffs and holy crap
the butts
mircea_popescu: * renard_abroad (~mrfox@r201-217-148-155.ir-static.anteldata.net.uy) << check him out. how's
teh uruguashos bunnies, mr fox ?
mircea_popescu: where were you while
these doods were
turning
their life around, flying
to uruguay and etcetera anyway ?
mircea_popescu: now less excuses, none of
this "my pantsuit existence comes before
the republic" ever again and more productivity. MUCH more productivity.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i'm certainly not puting
the "this is how it is" imprimatur on some
training mock-up of v implemented by some new kid. and in general enough with
this burning of steps in a hollow quest for equality, you're not phf, and
there is ONLY ONE WAY
to become phf.
mircea_popescu: esthlos i don't get it, you're going
to
take a stab "at it" ie making a
textfile,
the sort
that only carries any sort of weight or importance if a) you're somebody and b) you're doing something important, in between whenever your fiat job permits you a few hours here and
there ?
☟︎ trinque: no, someone has yet
to implement it.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 14:28 mircea_popescu: esthlos it is not standard procedure ;
the emerging consensus is
to have a dedicated philosophy file which a) all patches must
touch (by protocol) ; b) contains comments as
to
the patcher's state of mind and c) contains one line per patch uniquely identifying it, machine generated.
the format's not fixed yet, but as phf is working on a new proper vdiff it's probably going
to coalesce around a variant of whatever he uses.
esthlos: hi
there all, sorry for going awol. I've been following
the logs but busy with a new job
BingoBoingo: ^ And now
this year appears
to be getting a very 2012 feel as
the ghost of Amir's anti-credibility campaign ramps up
mircea_popescu ended up laughing ass off at
trinque refuelling station once more.
BingoBoingo: They have even went futher and started dressing up
the broken monkeys in suits and moved
them from shows about
the sports
they used
to play
to hosting
the old people and NEET morning shows
mircea_popescu: srsly nobody cares what random
trained monkey has
to say.
mircea_popescu: eh, i just want performance.
they've got
this
thing now, where
they're so desperate for cheap footage,
they'll actually dress up athletes like
they were people, seat
them down in studios and make
them
talk.
mircea_popescu tried
to read above-linked rundown of gnu failure at social media ; erection died about midway
through. really, kids
too clueless
to comprehend how clueless
they are writing "the history" of how spurious irc re-implementation went nowhere ?
nonlinear: Yes,
that seems about right from what I have seen so far. Exploration is a good
term, and enjoyable.
mircea_popescu: though sense is usually an emergent property of half a year
to a year's exploration
nonlinear: Oh, Hi mircea_popescu just stumbled in here, and reading
trilema.com
to get a sense
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in ##openfpga, "<mithro> mircea_popescu: symbiflow.github.io -- what I'm spending all my spare
time on"
mircea_popescu is engaged in a review of freenode channels, article
to follow.

there's been a resurgence of sorts of gopher protocol, various hipsters spinning up personal websites, etc. whether
the resurgence was shortlived or i'm just late
to
the game, but
there's already a community of wreckers (one of
them groups is coming from
this federated
twitter platform, mastodon) discussing all
the various ways
that
they want
to "improve" gopher,
tls, utf-8, markdown renderer, "minimal subset of html", etc. but at

the same bad hair) knocking on her door and saying "mimsy ? cool it!" so matthau can lay into
them with "he went
to college for four years and all he's got is cool it ?!".
mircea_popescu: and for
the crit lit / media experts, here's a conundrum : cool it carol, easily
the best movie made in
the 70s and one of
the best movies ever, came out 1970. in 1971, "plaza suite" featuring matthau and various women has a segment dedicated
to
this anti-carol (mimsy), a dumb murican priss who locks herself in bathroom on her wedding day.
the clou of
the entire production is made into some schmuck (almost as ugly as rob askw
ave1: Remembered octets when
this came up in
the discussion.
BingoBoingo: Hoping here
that Señor Vulpes arrives intact and ready
to deliver good news.
BingoBoingo: Well, one small herd of boxes on its way here. Hopefully
this
time we've assembled
the men and
talents necessary
to secure and sustain a digital space from which
to serve
the notices of hanging.

BingoBoingo: Pretty sure
that's actually in
the stankred pantsuit
texts: Power differential sex abuse.
BingoBoingo: Why no outrage for
the poor suffering Sergeant who had
to convincingly pretend enthusiasm when banging it out with a bag old enough
that she had a mid-20's adult son die from
terminal reddit/opiods last year.
BingoBoingo: When dem hollywood boys do it "Exploitation!" when pantsuit does it "wage
theft"
mircea_popescu: as opposed
to word (how much is needed
to compose a complete address) and so on.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-29 15:44 mircea_popescu: but not on "byte" meaning anything other
than what it does, which is
to say... "how much
the machine
takes in at a
time"
mircea_popescu: i expect porn is very much going
the way of fashion, or academia : first, faggots get a hold of it,
then... nobody would
touch it with a
ten foot pole.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz :
the people who debuted in porn
this year are... 70% male.
mircea_popescu: i didn't know non-romanian speakers even knew
the word "octet"
trinque: diana_coman: you ask. happy
to add it. sec
diana_coman: as
to
the serpent_self_test procedure - it can in principle even go away entirely as
there is an equivalent
test in
the
tests dir where
tests should be anyway;
the self_test is left mainly because it was in
the original, but not crucial in any case
diana_coman: I am not using
To_Ada or
To_C so
they can be removed, not an issue
diana_coman: ave1,
take your
time on it; just publish when it's ready and I'll give it another go
ave1: For example
the zfp lib is not really written (at
this moment) for a C main program, so 'adafinal' is missing.
ave1: After
that, as it
turns out, ada still produces some code which is not supported by
the zfp lib. I fixed some of
this, but
this is very much a build - add some code - retry cycle and
that will
take some
time.
ave1: Then, smg_serpent self_test procedure needs
to be function and raised removed
ave1: The function versions of
To_Ada and
To_C need
to be removed + exceptions raised
ave1: diana_coman, I have a version
that has both files, but not published yet. It is not hard
to make, copy from
the runtime dir
the files: i-c.ads, i-c.adb (for Interfaces.C) and a-unccon.ads.
Then edit i-c.ads and i-c.adb

the rss list? I find it quite useful
