i'm pretty certain where 'black hole' comes from.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
i happen to agree. there's absolutely no reason usg.jwz has any business touching bitcoin at any point.
mircea_popescu: did the "well we wanted to do xt but mp nixed it so
i guess no xt" comunique appear as the last entry on bitcoinxt ?

I'm more worried about the last six words
mircea_popescu: in other news, "Shouldn’t we be surprised to learn that an importer owns and operates its own ships? It’s probably not the comparative advantage for even the largest importers. And here’s the thing: Dole isn’t one of the country’s top three importers of containerized cargo. Instead it’s the fifth, after Walmart, Target, Home Depot, and Lowe’s. But you won’t see boxes or ships owned by these companies.

i guess it's not merely "don't help coinbase, they'll fuck you up" as yesterday, but moreover, "don't help coinbase - they'll fuck you up and then display the unmitigated gall of pretending that it didn't happen, or if it did it shouldn't matter or if it does it has nothing to do wit hthem". herp.
mircea_popescu: if you promise me a banana and fail to deliver the banana as promised, whether this is related or unrelated, intentional or unintentional, for regulatory reasons or to protect the privacy,
I'M SHORT A FUCKING BANANA.

mircea_popescu: it's to date the largest reply
i ever had to make in an irc conversation, but it is in fact a reply in an irc conversation.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Thinking in those terms, "Hey, TRB actually running on BSD as opposded to PRB sounds to me like it'd be huge, it must be made a point of public communication,
I need datas to support me in discussing this with people, plox to help me here!" is a helluva lot more productive than "this is X's dominion". At the worst this will clarify that "nah, not really", at the best it'll help a lot of idiots understand why it nobody

I can Y", for x=printable bitcoin and y=read in bed. He's not gotten it, at least not yet, but you can't say anyone's been the worse for the experience.
mircea_popescu: on the OTHER hand however, you have to understand biology works on drivers, and b-a is very much a natural system, so biology applies. the whole shebang is driven by need, if you go "
I NEED X and Y and Z to be able to do K!" you may or may not get X, Y or Z, or maybe a response as to the usefullness of K, but in any case the b-a itself gains. If you recall a primary driver for historical activity was alf going "

mircea_popescu: ds are you'll end up having to do it later anyway, and once you know this it's always better to do it at a time of choice than at a time of need. Obviously this leaves wide open the "well
I just don't care so much about Ying", which is fine, with the caveat that as the reunion of Ys starts approaching the universe, you're getting closer and closer to the nagant ending.
mircea_popescu: It's also perfectly valid to go "
I'm not about to Y, seems X's going to do it and they're probably better than me /
I don't want to duplicate the effort". Note however that this is an extremely tenuous argument : if it's true he's better than you then you probably should duplicate the effort - that's exactly the only avenue to learning, duplicating the effort of your betters. If it's the case you're better than him, od
mircea_popescu: is X's thing", or in the more general "
I'm not about to go into should mode - that's how you get hanged", but that's not so related.
mircea_popescu: To apply this to b-a affairs : it's not particularly useful to go "
I'm not going to X because that's Y's dominion". For one thing, it's not terribly clear if this is even true (people are notoriously poor at communicating things this subtle, and consequently your love for Amy's not Amy's idea of your love for her, not ever, until the day you die). It is perfectly valid to go "

mircea_popescu:
i don't advise any man to take this course, but recognize that well... cattle ranching is in point of fact a legitimate line of work, and you don't always get the choices you want.
punkman: "Fortunately for us, we’ve had everyone say everything that you can possibly think of about our food, so we are past the point where we need the validation from anybody.
I could give a fuck at this point, and we are just happy to try Alma again in the form of a three-month-residency at The Standard hotel in West Hollywood, whether it is critically acclaimed or not."

i guess we don't need baby jebus to save the britneychain if the linux foundation's going to fork the phr33 w0rld off it

i barely have a thread to pull at in sometimes hundreds of consecutive lines
pete_dushenski:
i'd be curious to know (and so will endeavour to find out) if there were as many people calling "bullshit" in the late 70s and early 80s when reported inflation was ~10% and loan rates for cars and houses were 20-25%

i just got a coupla girlies an apt. the sale value would have been
i guess 160-170k or so. the monthly rent is 750. the first month, the washing machine went, and the owner replaced it. the next month, ac went (brother was that an incredible pos job wow), owner replaced it. so far owner's been making 0 from his property.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that scenario is very similar to mp going "

☟︎ mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> how to bridge the gap between 'v means
i read and agree' vs. 'we need the source for these deps in the v-tree'? <<< "
I signed this because we need the source for this shit.
I didn't read it,
I don't need to read it to tell you it's shit."
jurov: "But don't expect me to read the C,
I couldn't."
jurov:
i can think of one :D
jurov: btw,
i'm testing unchanged same code as
i posted with jemalloc and zapmempool does shrink RSS by 50MB
ben_vulpes: yeah
i didn't hear anything from asciilifeform to the contrary
mod6: so just to be clear, so
I'm not holding anything up here; hashes of the following tarballs in V: BDB, openssl, and boost.
☟︎ mod6:
i don't think anyone is slacking.
mod6: yeah,
i think we need to write our own crypto lib

I paid attention to Linux kernel versions
assbot: Logged on 20-12-2015 21:25:44; mod6: asciilifeform: ok.
i'll think about how to implement these changes to V. right now, im not sure.
assbot: Logged on 11-12-2015 02:21:30; mod6: so what
I'm hoping to accomplish here is to alter the .mk files that accompany buildroot, so they pull the 3rd party reqs directly from the foundation site instead of wherever they currently point to.
mod6: so
I think programatically
I have it worked out on how to make this happen, was about to test last weekend? lemme dig up the logs on this.
mod6:
I've been in halt mode for a week now, not sure if this has been sorted yet.
