mircea_popescu: so i'm guessing... another 2-3 weeks for full sync, making
a trb full sync take just about two months on
a reasonable box.
punkman: large bocks are
a good thing
adlai would at least prefer
a "tries hard but mostly fails", but will settle for "either retarted or usg" because it's 'nearly
a laugh'
BingoBoingo: From the mines, Micheal Jordan edition: "MJ used to tell Johnny that “Tiger Woods is an idiot. I tried to help him, but the kid’s gonna get caught.” (we all know how that turned out). In order for
a girl to get to MJ, she needed to go through 4 undercover former narcotics detectives just to speak to Michael. She had to be approved by all 4 to make sure she wasn’t gonna say
a damn word about MJ to anyone. So there’s MJ, n
BingoBoingo: Maybe your ergot friend can reveal the truth in
a spiritual experience?
BingoBoingo: Why not google that string to see if there are already human translations. Or just swim across the Micheal Jordan river and ask someone

BingoBoingo: It's useful to know which shitcoin it was this round and the record
a running tab of what i++ next shitcoins are

mod6: eh. kinda sorta, i gotta re-read that part when i get
a chance. but i think that you think it's useful :]
mircea_popescu: there's
a very ample history of idiots thinking they may bypass this, starting with bitcoinica. i welcome more victims, gladly.
mircea_popescu: "i want every one thing to be in
a single place" is
a deep driver of meta-programming.
adlai: you want to optimize screenful-legibility... this is
a convex space, but far from linear
mircea_popescu: note that there's
a great tendency to condense lines by "meaning". which is what alf's proposal to stick
a && in that double if clause comes to.
mircea_popescu: the reason the newline { is hated is because it eats
a line. people generally want to cram stuff in their screens.
danielpbarron: I also prefer the '{' on
a newline vs on same line as function name. But I haven't done nearly as much coding as those of you who hate these conventions so what do I know
mircea_popescu: this is
a significant loss to everyone doing things that depend on the difference between one item and the other.
mircea_popescu: "Yves here. Get
a cup of coffee. This is
a deep dive into how Bitcoin works from
a payment systems perspective, and why the failure of promoters and journalists to look at it in those terms has led them to greatly overestimate its significance." << "come hear my very novel take on why bitcoin is not disruptive because it doesn't do the buzzword i think i understand and for this reason matters more than everything else!"

a mod6 ?
BingoBoingo: Shit's popping up everywhere now. USG phillipino delivery for ClassicCoin must have finally arrived
a week late
BingoBoingo: They can't even beg for bits-coin anymore so they gotta beg for
a bits-coin they might eventually have
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: remember when Garzik was all "Lets build
a decentralized exchange for ASICMINER"
shinohai: "I admire Dr. Pieter Wuille’s brilliant hack to deploy it as
a soft fork. But despite being brilliant, the soft fork Segregated Witness is still
a hack.
A hack is dirty. Such
a technology would be better implemented as hard fork.”
BingoBoingo: "Chun has made
a concrete hard fork proposal since – though the details of this proposal are not yet clear."
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> sealed pipes from arse into the sea are
a very modern (and shaky) abstraction. << Not sealed the whole way, settling ponds etc
mircea_popescu: incidentally, and perhaps relatedly, for
a long time the concept of toilet consisted of
a ditch api, upon which you could implement your arbitrary toilet at any point through placing
a wooden beam\
mircea_popescu: 5) Function Macros And Recursion <<< "What ended up being the bug in my preprocessor for this test case was in evaluating the argument prescanned tokens that were passed to
a function macro invocation. If the function macro being invoked contained
a token with the same identifier as the function macro being invoked, but didn't actually call that function macro, it would incorrectly disable this token. This bug combine

A blog by Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: i'm not reading now either, just had some summaries made by
a rule
mircea_popescu: ./serialize.h:// There's
a clever template way to make arrays serialize normally, but MSVC6 doesn't support it
thestringpuller: In fact when I was thinking of going into education one of the courses I took harped on the fact that the best mode of teaching is pairing
a real expert with student apprenticeship style.
thestringpuller: So how is derp supposed to even begin to learn correctness, if he can't understand what
a correct foundation is.
mircea_popescu: you know
a) the intention was to contrast it with GAY science
mircea_popescu: it has exactly 0 to do with money, because schoolchildren have no money. it's
a thing.
mircea_popescu has found himself, iwthout interruption, in this position for as long as he can remember, which'd be
a good three decades by now.
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 17:47:49; asciilifeform: yes, there are folks who are serious chessboxers. but for some reason i've never heard of such
a fella winning
a world chess OR boxing title.
mircea_popescu: "<amount> is
a real and is rounded to the nearest 0.00000001\n"

a list of magic numbers.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i would much like
a complete list of boost structures, with analysis.
Terry4: Did you see the strategy about subsiding bitcoin miners to stay on the original BTC, (as
a last case scenario to defeat any alt-chain)?
mircea_popescu: and the idea is inept. yes i know
a lot of "respectable folk". i also know
a lot of common whores. and everything in between.
mircea_popescu: still
a dead end. exactly equivalent with soviet woman's conclusion that getting married is an exercise in insanity.
mircea_popescu: your arguments exactly mirror
a broken version of reality pushed forth by overgrown girls that are yet affraid to be women.
mircea_popescu: not so. just like fucking isn't
a fundamentally insane act.
mircea_popescu: that you're making up stories. for
a captive audience that's easy to please.
