ben_vulpes: trinque: you said you had to go gcc 6 -> 5 -> 4, right?
mircea_popescu: apparently they also have a jewelry shop right in the museum. and a simulated mine. it was the next item on the list, but there's only so much you can cram into four days of fucking & drinking.
mircea_popescu: afaik for most of history most emeralds came from them.
mod6: oh, a whole one for just that huh. kinda neat.
mircea_popescu: mod6 sadly i didn't have the time to check out the emeralds museum also, apparently this exists.
mircea_popescu: what happened, anyway ? that got the rats so rattled
mod6: yeah, the raw emeralds too
mod6: wow, nice pics from bogota tho!
mircea_popescu: in other sads, we discover that the trilema pics sum up to almost 3gb these days ;/

lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-03#1780773 << ftr this is how I'm currently designing "!Qarchive-bulk-download" to work. Bot will check with deedbot for a key registered, then verify good wot standing in my L1. No allcomers allowed! ☝︎
phf: mircea_popescu: alright, i cleared my schedule for that general period, i'll look at flights again tonight and we can just go with whatever works out best financially
BingoBoingo: Because, you know... The "shared" word is in there.
BingoBoingo: In other Pais Pobre: "The idea that makes tPanel unique compared to other web hosting control panels is that the software does not require any root/shell access to function. Instead, it’s more of a manager for people who have ambitions to start a web host on their shared web hosting plan." - http://www.gnutoolbox.com/tpanel/
mircea_popescu: so for the last day i've been working on this bogota megapost. hopefully i fucking finish it today jesus.
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-03#1780744 << "Mr. Pierce walked around the tree and said prayers for Puertopia, holding a rusted wrench he had picked up in the territory. He kissed an old man's feet. He blessed a crystal in the water, as they all watched. He played the Chaplin speech to everyone and to the tree, Mr. Nygard said." ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-02-03 15:09 asciilifeform: hilarious buncha idjits, 'let's all move to 1 usg reservation and feed the waterfall there while awaiting cokemachine'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-03#1780757 << all they're good for. ☝︎
phf: i suppose it hinges on definition of "web systems". trinque's static thing that only takes input from channel i suppose qualifies and is exception to what i'm saying
asciilifeform: the items that only work from in-chan are close enuff ☟︎
phf: well, we don't really have non-allcomers web systems ourselves. the only example from past is mp's retired token system
asciilifeform: eh well, another 'allcomers' item bites the dust.
asciilifeform: not necessarily operators of the paste www
asciilifeform: or nm, those were authors of the proggy
asciilifeform: i have nfi who they were/are
phf: i think mp had a conversation with someone from #lisp, and someone was responding as if in authority, but you never know
phf: http://paste.lisp.org << "Due to continued abuse, this service has been discontinued"
asciilifeform: hilarious buncha idjits, 'let's all move to 1 usg reservation and feed the waterfall there while awaiting cokemachine' ☟︎
asciilifeform: nobody ever asks asciilifeform 'what is the 100kg of crate'.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-03 04:52 ben_vulpes: guy delivering servers today wanted to know what i was doing with em; "well let's see, install some software and then rack 'em in a datacenter, what else does one do with servers?" "no but like are you mining bro?" "haha funny. don't you have something for me to sign?"
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-03#1780738 << why is it that ben_vulpes gets the nosy deliverymen, and asciilifeform not!111 ☝︎
asciilifeform: listener is stuck waiting for his memory, and patience, to run out
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-03#1780711 << sorta the fundamental braindamage of html ( and all 'plaintextist' protocols, period ) -- that they lack 'and HERE is EXACTLY how many bytes will follow' ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-02-03 01:20 mircea_popescu: and considering what happens in response to curl -v -X GET -H "range: bytes=1-8" www.loper-os.org (full page dump) we can add asciilifeform / nfs to the list of "does not support ranges"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes hey, imagine all the idle posturing going on in every tiny social group. kids used to be hackers, after being secret agents, after being you know.

doppler: is that just a matter of a regex needing updated?
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, the day's log page is fulla non-linking links as a result of http being the discussion
mircea_popescu: aaand thereby log eaten. mazel tov.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 18:02 BingoBoingo: I will have to dig that up, but it is not trivial and requires having a foreign corporation in the loop somewhere. Perhaps someone with a corp that is offshore to Uruguay can inquire? Depends on the revenue reported and a whole bunch of other miscellanea.
mircea_popescu: you'll also probably have trouble without a connection: close signal, and so on.
mircea_popescu: ://trilema.com/2014/ill-pay-for-your-tits/ as a complement to 302 response also quite useful.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-03 00:22 mircea_popescu: "find a thing such as x" vs "follow steps x give whatever comes out"
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 17:27 phf: content-type is a meaningless header, since that's up to client to decide anyway (and it's frequently misconfigured), all the other headers are straight up metadata fluff.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779676 << this is not so. looking through trilema's : X-Pingback: http://trilema.com/xmlrpc.php is essential for the whole pingback functionality, which i deem a prime class. off top of head cache-control is probably also useful, as it tells the client the very useful bit of whether server deems resopurce is type 1 or type 2 in http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-03#1780528 sense ; Location: http ☝︎☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 17:26 phf: we can reduce everything to just get requests (cut the headers, too, except for Content-Length), where ranges are done by "/downloads?file=...&start=...&end"
mircea_popescu: but you don;t know what to put in the where to begin with. so you get potentially boundless piles of metadata.
mircea_popescu: right, everything is selects in the end,
mircea_popescu: yes, but the thing still starts with describe or w/e it's called
trinque: I can go query what tables have a column of particular type
trinque: sql has this already, on earth.
mircea_popescu: (practically, they just didn't feel like making one verb per thing, because it'd have ended all sgml.)
mircea_popescu: well you don;t know what you don't know. exactly as in the slavery threads.
trinque: "oh here's the filesize and content type and also here's what the server had for breakfast"
trinque: the inability to ask specific questions is another massive failing of the thing
mircea_popescu: trinque because you don't know what questions may be asked, is the idea.
mircea_popescu: through header too.
mircea_popescu: this is a major flaw of the "design" such as it is, that yes you're asking for potentially infinite metadata.
trinque: rather than specify what question you may have about the thing specifically
trinque: why would you imply it in that manner, and it's understood you may want potentially boundless metadata
mircea_popescu: similar to trinque goes into santaria shop, "do you have any bibles ?" "yes, shall i read you from it ?" "no, thanks. how much for one ?"
mircea_popescu: and if you say "i'm interested in x but in 0 bits of it" the logical implication is that you're only interested in any meta-x may be available. which yes might be null, but also doesn't have to be.
mircea_popescu: but that's not the meaning of the 0.
trinque: you didn't get back zero in the latter case
mircea_popescu: the reason i linked the two items was, that you had a paradoxical result evaluating logical implication of negated absence in there ; and a paradoxical result evaluating predicated nothingness, here. seem to me intuitively they're related to some sort of 0-difficulty you have.
trinque: same thing's going to happen in a thread on HTTP
trinque: old thread was on python, and the behavior of some looping constructs or w/e, didn't match set theory
trinque: oh, I blew my stack in the thread you linked mostly because of my own radiation damage
trinque: in this case sums to: republican HTTP may ulcer alf further.
trinque: incidentally I've been working on moving the entire concept out of my head in such threads, in contrast to the old thread in question.
trinque: exactly that, the thing keisters away data in whatever fold of fat some autist found at the moment
mircea_popescu: "our data type is vector list array, tyvm & come again!"
mircea_popescu: fancy that wonder, text, html and utf-8. some data type.
mircea_popescu: trinque the most reliably encountered header in responses is Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
mircea_popescu: (good thing we got the cloud collaborate suite from $corp, too... how could we have gotten this far without ???)
mircea_popescu: well the whole thing is one huge napkin doodle shared over the chan as it stands ☟︎
trinque: right the muntzing of http got conflated (by me, most likely) with how it ought to have been done in the first place
mircea_popescu: basically whole thing was "Don't implement a special show table status, use the underlying select item from schema directly"
mircea_popescu: right. which is what was contemplated here too.
trinque: sure, that's syntax sugar
mircea_popescu: and this show table status is a proxy for select autoincrtement from inf schema
trinque: if tables were good for storing ages of johns, why not statuses of tables?
mircea_popescu: that one is select john from tabler and the other is show table status.
trinque: the charge I made was that range 0 is an implicit metadata fetch. why implicit?
trinque: what is special about that data retrieval, compared to "what's the age of john" ?
mircea_popescu: isn't this "tell me about this table for a total of 0 rows" ?
mircea_popescu: for the autoincrement metaconstruct.
mircea_popescu: but i can get, eg, a table's current index position
trinque: if I were to hamhandedly bash this into http, there'd be no headers. you'd get that information from another ULR
mircea_popescu: so sql doesn't have an equivalent of head is the idea ? or doesn't have an equivalent of get 0 size ?
trinque: I can select from a table that is the table of columns, for example
trinque is referring to information_schema and the db-specific metadata schemas
mircea_popescu: explain this to me ?
trinque: same tools apply to metadata as everything else
trinque: sql would be a system where I'd consider the metadata properly designed, in that there isn't a difference in the way it's represented, or retrieved
mircea_popescu: yeah, it's not clear that the extant stack of shit is capable of supporting some sort of meaningful practical consideration.
trinque: lol, I was speaking practically. though I'm glad it did prompt the other.
trinque: yeah but that's what fired off the other thread too!
trinque: sure, if http is understood that it always hands back headers, and these are decided to exclude the "I want an item of x length and no further" then get with range 0 offset 0 would hand back only headers
