punkman: bdb does not have
a server either
mircea_popescu: punkman well that's maybe
a point, but nevertheless it currently uses one, and it uses one mostly to update and insert
☟︎ punkman: I don't see how bitcoin needs
a db server
mircea_popescu: many reads few writes is
a particular usecase, not really what's at work in the cases discussed.
punkman: mircea_popescu: the largest one had compressed web pages and metadata, but pretty much anything that doesn't need
a db server
mircea_popescu: " And the way to keep it from breaking is to replace all the bits that are listed on the replacement schedule no later than the dates indicated on that schedule. It's either that or the thing goes “Ka-boom!” and everyone's hair falls out." << yes, except for the cynical west that actually wouldn't mind
a few more nuclear "accidents". so what if they were fully preventable, deliberately man-made disasters ? at least
mircea_popescu: repair the damage). That seems bad enough, but we aren't quite there yet." <<< this much is exactly factual, as romania is well aware since its very difficult early 90s. as far as temperate habitation is concerned, you have strictly to options : either produce enough energy to keep the heating pipes unfrozen through the winter, or else lose the possibility of urban settlement and as

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "Now, here's what it all really means. With so much going wrong, the Ukraine has been unable to secure enough natural gas or coal supplies to provide
a supply cushion in case of
a cold snap this winter.
A few weeks of frosty weather will deplete the supply, and then pipes will freeze, rendering much of the urban areas unlivable from then on (because, recall, there is no longer any money, or any industry to speak of, to
mircea_popescu: "Prime Minister Yatsenyuk was recently hauled off the podium by his crotch; how dignified is that?" << coming soon, to
a white house near you.

assbot: Logged on 23-12-2015 22:25:35; linton_s_dawson: Anyone running thebitcoin.foundation client on
a Raspberry Pi 2? I'd like to assemble
a node and see if the Pi is
a good idea.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell linton_s_dawson
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-12-2015#1351345 << not anyone afaik. theoretically speaking it wouldn't likely work too well yet - not enough resources on the pi to be
a real node. nevertheless, as
a didactic / research sort of project rather than something to go in production trying would be interesting, if for nothing else then because nobody;s tried it yet.

a simple mechanism written specifically for bitcoin
mircea_popescu is reasonably impressed. had ben_vulpes pegged for "this guy's managed to put himself in
a texbook model of
a place where guys crack".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: sorta like
a birthday balloon works in all usecases that don't require anything of it.
mircea_popescu: this is the problem of having
a trb in the first place : the temptation to assume it's sane is just too great.

a T-34 to convert into
a camper van
funkenstein_: Speaking of potatoes: Tensions rise in Europe when the Russian government announces that it is launching
a new business start-up called Tuber, described as “like Uber, except with tanks.”
BingoBoingo: linton_s_dawson: If you want
a GUI you can build it.
shinohai: qt is just
a bloated monstrosity. I love trb even more because it lacks any part of it.
trinque: moreover, easy-to-use is
a much more subjective/arbitrary notion than the complexity of the thing, which is greatly reduced by having removed the GUI.
thestringpuller: because I was fell out of
a grocery cart onto my head as
a child I keep getting this error with mod6 's script: ": No such file or directory"

a blockchain obv :P << i think it got deleted in the qntra restore. I highly enjoyed that comment though. Everyone complainin' bout spoilers all srs like at work all fucking day. Come home to read the comment, damn I was in tears. Miss you cazalla.
ascii_field: so this is
a subject of some interest to me.
ascii_field: but this is
a classic case of 'this thing that is actually half the thing you thought you were paying for is JUST AS GOOD AND SHUDDUP'

mircea_popescu: when it comes to node communication, half
a second delay is too much
ascii_field: without identity, anti-dos measures are simply buttons which usg can push to make you disconnect
a friend.
ascii_field: these are absolutely necessary if nodes are to have identity (which is
a must if we want to have node ranking)

a day or so.
mircea_popescu: would make sense, too, as part of
a wider strategy to murder the blockchain.

a cure for dunning kruger syndrome
thestringpuller: you seem to have the science of the redditard psychology
a lot more than the rest of us
mircea_popescu: heh, "Yeah you are right, guy could make something like the ISO meeting on the new standard documentation for ball bearing manufacture sexist and money related" aka "we're so far gone we'd think
a meeting on the new standard documentation for ball bearing manufacture is sexist yet somehow we also think this is someone else's fault".
mircea_popescu: what, like i walk in the spare bedroom right now, pull the sheets over and thus have "discovered"
a sleeping beauty ?

a "Notice: Important changes to our payment options starting Tuesday 29th of December 2015" from his NEW dns keeper and figures OMFG i'm gonna burn these people down, i JUST moved.
mircea_popescu: On Tuesday, Gov. Jay Inslee gave the damning tally: up to 3,200 prisoners set free too soon since 2002. <<< this is not
a tally. the word tally has
a definition. this is at best
a guesstimate.

punkman: " For three years, state Department of Corrections staff knew
a software-coding error was miscalculating prison sentences and allowing inmates to be released early. On Tuesday, Gov. Jay Inslee gave the damning tally: up to 3,200 prisoners set free too soon since 2002."
