OZmaster: never heard of it before i wanna check it out :D
OZmaster: will make sure i register kakobrekla
OZmaster: i mean why too bad ?
mircea_popescu: can't update cursor position until i have a hash of all the 50000 icons i put in that folder.
mircea_popescu: it's usually the wm going "oh, i caqn't have X ? THEN I WILL WAIT WITH EVERYTHING!!1"
mircea_popescu: phf i don'\t think this ever happened at the scheduler level.
phf: it's usually handling millions of other interrupts, and then the scheduler needs to decide "oh there's some mouse events, maybe i should prioritize them a bit"
trinque: I read this guy as saying it should drop everything and move the cursor ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i mean.... when is a desktop ever that loaded ? ☟︎
trinque: nor have I.
mircea_popescu: trinque i've not yet observed the mouse cursor lagging on any system that i can recall since mice became a thing. ☟︎
phf: i'm pretty sure it's one of stan's commandments of sane computing
phf: on a console you want operator issued commands to have priority over everything else, i don't think this has anything to do with the kernel. there was a set of patches for linux that gave scheduling priority to x11, and generally was supposed to make system much more responsive from operator side of things. guy quit over "giant co server needs decide what goes into kernel, i'm done"
mircea_popescu: <trinque> shinohai: somehow I'm doubtful boston's white thug population ever read anything <
trinque: as I understand it these preemption systems incur a great deal of additional complexity, and some wise folks might say keeping *that* to a minimum is of the greatest importance.
trinque: "You know, when I first switched to MacOS from Linux, the fact that I was finally using an operating system that understood that tracking the mouse was the highest priority thing and that you could never, ever let that fall behind was one of the most refreshing things." << wtf kind of idiocy is this?
pete_dushenski: "i just expected it to work!"
pete_dushenski: https://www.jwz.org/blog/2015/11/keyboard-lossage-mouse-lossage-everything-is-terrible/ << i lollered when jwz comes around to admitting that 'everything was fine until i upgraded to mac osx 10.11 (el capitain)'
trinque: I guess that look is spreading
trinque: shinohai: somehow I'm doubtful boston's white thug population ever read anything
shinohai: i saw that. One post about them on reddit got gilded x3
asciilifeform: i also can't help but appreciate the sheer magnitude of the 'fud' surrounding 'd-wave' - as if there could be any doubt whatsoever that the box is a work of charlatanry (doesn't run shor's algo and break rsa? not quantum comp. QED.)
asciilifeform: re: yesterday's 'd-wave' thread: i often wonder what would happen if somebody were to demonstrate a machine, costing fiddybux instead of fiddymillion, that has the exact same performance on the exact same problems using... ordinary op-amps
asciilifeform: i have seen some truly astonishing idiocies.
shinohai: god fucking dammit why can't I do this right? >.<
mircea_popescu: the adequacy of bitcoin is eerly evident in this context : "what happens if someone sees my secret and steals it ?" "well... i guess you can pay again."
mircea_popescu: (make deed today that "i will pay sum so and so to foundation address tomorrow", then pay tomorrow.)
mircea_popescu: ahaha that redditard guy. "i did not know you were stolen your honoars!!!!" "were they discounted ?" "well yes, but this totally happens all the time" "with what ?" "with for instance... stolen cars, if people sell it to the chop shop... or if someone is selling something out of the trunk downtown ? or like... if it's you know, like we say on the street hot" "..."
mircea_popescu: <gabrielradio> to the foundation, i guess << trhe whole point is that it's voluntary. so you can do whatever you want.
adlai: http://www.slate.com/content/dam/slate/articles/technology/future_tense/2015/12/151203_FT_Mt-Etna.jpg.CROP.promo-xlarge2.jpg << "I'a Cthulhu! I'a S'ha-t'n!"
punkman: "Over 6 months I bought about $30,000 worth of Starbucks gift cards for about $6,000." no shit sherlock
assbot: Just got arrested for buying stolen gift cards with Bitcoin and then re-selling them. I did not know they were stolen. BEING CHARGED WITH A FELONY!!! What do I do??? : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1Q4z6mD )
gabrielradio: to the foundation, i guess
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i let it be known that i was looking for wurk, some weeks past
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i actually toured one such godforsaken heathen pit this very morning
BingoBoingo: That would take time away from mining new exhaust gasses, and that's not the kind of spam I receive.
asciilifeform: i though qntra were for nyooooz
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i get spam from folks like these, so my curiosity was temporarily piqued.

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2014/idiocy-without-borders-idiots-sans-frontieres/ << whenever i hear kickstarter mention can't help but think of this
brg444: oh I see now. I thought had read about him on trilema, that OkStupid story was gold
brg444: when I first came up into Bitcoin he sounded sane but nowadays :/ from blog post "This means the most obvious way to lower the per-transaction cost is to simply process more transactions, thereby amortizing the fixed hashing cost across a wider pool."
brg444: ascii_field great! exactly what I was looking for
brg444: in relation with other users? I remember Mircea posting a list of wot relations somewhere?
brg444: I'm asking because of this https://bitcoinism.liberty.me/scaling-bitcoin-to-its-first-billion-users-and-beyond-2/
brg444: so I can't ask assbot?
ascii_field: i wonder if it enjoys a good few kV put in the line.
ascii_field: (i won't bother to describe ~for what~ here, it was deadly boring & lame)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: aahahahahaha! i once actually interviewed for a schmuck like that
mircea_popescu: "i've assembled a small team" but looking desperately for any actual human. the small team is made out of Siri, his 5yo step-daughter and a fridge he named Fred.
mircea_popescu: more like 1960s state of "i blew out my own eye"
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: as far as i can tell (supposing the product actually exists) they power via laser, with control ethernet riding modulated on top
ascii_field: but i did not buy one, so nfi.
ascii_field: i imagine the thing is disposable
ascii_field: and i could've sworn that we did 'fiber-tethered drone' idea ~right here~ in '13 ?
thestringpuller: The puritans were pretty radical as it is. I remember reading the crucible and thinking, "religious politics huh?"
danielpbarron: you wouldn't know if i've been praying, because when I do it, I do it secretly
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-12-2015#1335935 << Matthew 6:5 "And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your F ☝︎
ascii_field: (it was held in the same dilapidated church as a 'hack space' thing i attended sporadically in those days)
ascii_field: which i showed up to on a lark
ascii_field: idk, i originally ran across it at a meeting of a hobbyist society devoted to the subject
ascii_field: if not for this, i'd long ago have forgotten the thing even exists
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: i still get flamez on my circa-2009 turd on subj (and the later sequel)
thestringpuller: ascii_field: I got to page 5 today of the dragon book
ben_vulpes: i'm leaking brains
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: i think you're leaking bitz
assbot: Logged on 03-12-2015 18:24:03; ascii_field: am i smoking crack or does mthreat's search 'from:' command ignore slash-me action lines ?
ascii_field: i think it accounts for a good measure of 'mysteriously not found' cases
ascii_field: am i smoking crack or does mthreat's search 'from:' command ignore slash-me action lines ? ☟︎
ascii_field: 'I came out of college with a faint disdain for both the teachers and the principle of the whole thing. This is natural. I also came out of college not owing anyone one red cent.' << funnily enough, same.
punkman: granted, I've not read much ruby
adlai: also Those who are clever and industrious I appoint to the General Staff. Use can under certain circumstances be made of those who are stupid and lazy. The man who is
ascii_field: at any rate, i cannot possibly argue against the main idea here - that a horde of energetic, malignantly-stupid people can befunge literally ~anything~
ascii_field: where i could get to it..
mircea_popescu: and i'm dijkstra now ?
assbot: Logged on 03-12-2015 14:47:46; mircea_popescu: does anyone have the line where i tell asciilifeform or someone that their love of lisp is misplaced, because a) c was just as great before the horde got involved and b) if lisp were to become fashionable it'd be cpp in short order ?
ascii_field: i actually do not recall such a thing
mircea_popescu: there was at some point some derp in here wanting us to believe he's "a jouirnalist", not wanting to get in the wot and wanting to ask some dumbass questions about phuctor that i briefly entertained.
pete_dushenski: i guess the pace of trading is part of the 'feeling' but that alone is not what makes trading s.mpoe worthwhile. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: "oh honey i don't understand what the world became" "that's because you dumb, motha. you made it."
gribble: STRML was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 44 weeks, 6 days, 14 hours, 20 minutes, and 4 seconds ago: <STRML> I guess I live in the wrong city
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i'd have figured you'd have already seen that
asciilifeform: 'kee' was, as i gather, brain-meltingly spiffy
trinque: I'd put my bag on the seat next to me in Portland every time.
asciilifeform: as for the astonishingly fat folks BingoBoingo is so fond of, i hardly ever see'em on trains - they, i surmise, haven't 'places to be', by and large
asciilifeform: perfectly intentional, and i've never seen anyone ticketed or even reprimanded by the train cops
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-12-2015#1335751 << i parked my car in a pool of vomit large enough (somehow) for two wheels ☝︎
