mircea_popescu: i briefly considered printing and selling book versions. however
a) it's truly an immense volume of material. even if you made yearly volumes, you'd have multi thousand page tomes.
BingoBoingo: * asciilifeform quits reading the nonsense << Then you miss "Full nodes could record and release or sell the IP addresses of their SPV clients, in
a large breach of privacy. That they do not do this is incredibly nice of them."
mircea_popescu: "It has become
a commonly repeated mantra, among extreme libertarian Bitcoin cultists, that "if Bitcoin relies on altruism, then it has already failed."" <<< wutever the fuck ?
mircea_popescu: just pipe it from json to iptables -
A INPUT -s x -j DROP through your favourite perl ?
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> and possibly blog mirrors for some folks << actually i'm writing
a major piece for trilema, bbs.
BingoBoingo: believe it would have been that simple to cross into and keep going without being stopped. But out of panic I turned around and walked back to the bridge telling myself I was
a paranoid pussy. I called my friend on the phone walking back and told him where I walked roughly and he just screamed at me to "STOP TALKING AND RUN BACK ACROSS THE BRIDGE NOW"."
pete_dushenski: "where did all the dicks go ?! it's like
a virus killed them all !"
pete_dushenski: ""It wasn't like there was
a mass death of males. They were there, so what were they doing?" asks Melissa Wilson Sayres,
a computational biologist at Arizona State University, and
a member of
a group of scientists who uncovered this moment in prehistory by analyzing modern genes."
pete_dushenski: "Once upon
a time, 4,000 to 8,000 years after humanity invented agriculture, something very strange happened to human reproduction. Across the globe, for every 17 women who were reproducing, passing on genes that are still around today—only one man did the same."
assbot: Logged on 22-12-2015 22:43:02; mod6: so i think jurov has
a good question; if we don't drop the turdballs into V, which we're not, and the MANIFEST is the only thing in the 'shit' directory that is pressed out by 'V', where do the tarballs come from?
assbot: Logged on 22-12-2015 22:40:28; mircea_popescu: this "patches get sigils, shit gets
a serial number" approach very neatly and intuitively draws the all-important difference.
mod6: and beyond this with V, if we create
a 'Compact Disk' of all of this, we can just stick the trinity of turds in 'shit' along with buildroot and whatever it needs.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: trinque brace yourself for when this, like so many other b-
a originated crazy, actually takes over your life and you start renaming dirs to /shit/ in githobs.
mircea_popescu: this "patches get sigils, shit gets
a serial number" approach very neatly and intuitively draws the all-important difference.
☟︎ mod6: we're not going to do that, we're just gonna create
a manifest with their proper SHA512 hashes.
mod6: i stamp out
a seal.
mod6: i like the idea of
a seal in that example though, because its like an official embossment.
ascii_field: gcc doesn't give
a flying fuck whether c, cpp, fortran, ada, objc
ascii_field: 'I proceeded to disassemble
a Nokia 2110 battery pack, remove the batteries, glue it to
a 6-volt lead-acid gel cell battery, and clip the phone onto the resulting giant battery pack (when the battery is many times larger than the phone, you don't clip the battery onto the phone). The result, "Gorba's Return", has
a standby time of more than
a month.' << very spiffy, also doubles as
a blunt weapon or battering ram
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> hmm 6 btc against trump for republican nomination in just the last day and
a half, what are these people on ? << Ted Cruz is having
a moment
pete_dushenski: ascii_field "Yes, you can sell part or all of your stock anytime for
a trading commission of only 99 cents. You can also buy more of
a stock you already own, or buy
a new stock, for 99 cents
a trade." << ~seems~ this is the main flesh hook, though others include "money in your account within 3 days" and "priced at daily close"
trinque: but that's
a side note to easy access to the end product.
mod6: if we don't create
a bin dir for it to live in.
trinque: it should build in build then crap
a binary with
a version string appended in the dir you are in, imo
mod6: I guess we can place
a small README in bitcoin/ that can direct peeps to rotor dir.
trinque: going to make
a variable :p
jurov: as
a gentooista, i'm fine with distfiles
pete_dushenski: hmm 6 btc against trump for republican nomination in just the last day and
a half, what are these people on ?
mod6: just because that makefile can get
a bit hairy. but we can put it on the list.
mod6: yeah, i'd vote to change that at
a different time.
mircea_popescu: another thing that was disconcerting was having binaries in
a /src dir
mod6: in this case, the order of operations when building: press out
a V 'branch', cd to the build directory (or somewhere in the pressed out tree), kick off the building of buildroot & everything.
mod6: but there's
a fair chunk of stuff to do there.
mod6: so i can see having
a say, /.../bitcoin/build/ directory or something where the scripts/config files for buildroot/and everything else/ exist and can be pressed out.
ascii_field: so the thing was something like
a su version of
a stream cipherator
mod6: We're
a lot farther from release than I had thought then.
mircea_popescu: idea here is to
a degree that V is
a universal builder
mod6: the interesting part about dropping in
a manifest file is that i'll be off on its own as its own root and its own leaf since it'll have no decendents or antecedants.
mod6: anyway my question to ascii_field, jurov, et. al. is: given we create
a manifest, where should it live in the context of the bitcoin source tree itself
mod6: currently, what is required is that you execute the rotor+V+TEST2 script that I wrote, and then it'll create
a 'rotor' dir in that present working directory. then you'll end up with like: rotor/TEST2/bitcoin/src/
ascii_field: (when
a good portion of this work is being done anyway)
ascii_field: the time to do this is, obviously, when
a block comes
ascii_field: (deallocate all tx, while throwing them into
a fresh mempool)
ascii_field: so do we see
a return to baseline+300byte*blockheight heap size after the nuke ?
jurov: so in fact,
a second mempool
ascii_field: incidentally, i've concluded that 'boost' can be sawed out and replaced with
a modicum of c++11ism relatively painlessly
ascii_field: but this is not
a wart that can be snipped off without any serious work
ascii_field: ^ summary: random bozo pops
a box, turns out to contain src for underwater alarm system at mega-palace, full of backdoorz
assbot: Logged on 22-12-2015 13:43:50; BingoBoingo: Soviets just got sloppy when the latched onto schizophrenia as psychiatric umbrella. West has been riding this bipolar/"mood spectrum disorder" grinder for
a while now.
assbot: Logged on 22-12-2015 13:41:35; mircea_popescu: "the western world -
a place so miserable teenage suicide is still the exception, but teenage cns depressant medication the rule"
mircea_popescu: so php has
a "ignore repeated location / type of error" dual switch. which inexplicably comes NOT THROWN. because yeah, this is totally logical, if someone doesn't care about one instance you gotta provide them with infinity instances of the same thing. idiots.
mircea_popescu: so
a bunch of idiot americans band together, agree to not learn, and expect teacher to "throw the curve".
assbot: Logged on 22-12-2015 13:17:24; mircea_popescu: and this is kinda also what powers the "uber revolution" : if you're willing to go from drivers to unskilled labour, you may "save"
a little change off your ride and uber can make
a killing.
BingoBoingo: Yeah. Czars go to Yale and Honchos either come from
A&M or community college
BingoBoingo: Soviets just got sloppy when the latched onto schizophrenia as psychiatric umbrella. West has been riding this bipolar/"mood spectrum disorder" grinder for

☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyone ever wondered what every kid being
a reefer says about their country ?
mircea_popescu: "the western world -

☟︎ BingoBoingo: If only because all the other tranquilizers like miltown and thalidomide are so much easier to pile on to. "Miltown, what kind of drug has bezoars as
a side effect?"
BingoBoingo: The benzodiazepine revolution has happened, and it's going to be
a while before it can get stigma'd out like tobacco.
mircea_popescu: "oh, but it helps people. it calms my nerves!" was iirc the state-of-the-art in tobacco "critiquing" for about
a century.
BingoBoingo: Apparently its popular. I always thought it was
a myth.
BingoBoingo: Or mebbe to teach the Uni
a lesson when the civil suits come because
a bunch of frat bros were popping xanax and buttchugging vodka now that their weed is gone.
BingoBoingo: "There’s this one fraternity—really well-known on campus, attracted
a lot of attention—that started getting drug-tested and it’s still talked about how this fraternity went from, like,
a group of guys who functioned normally and held high position among the university and then they all just became ‘bartards’—that’s the term for people who eat Xanax bars. They all went from just, you know, regular college guys to ju
mircea_popescu: and this is kinda also what powers the "uber revolution" : if you're willing to go from drivers to unskilled labour, you may "save"

☟︎ mircea_popescu: here's
a rough rule of thumb : if the guy bringing you your donut is making below minimum wage, he is BY DEFINITION of the terms "minimum wage" and "waiter" NOT
a waiter. because being
a waiter IS
A PROFESSION, just like being
a computer engineer or
a driver. meanwhile minimum wage is reserved for UNSKILLED!!! labour. like webstack developers and singer-songwriter-tablewaiters.
