mircea_popescu: asciilifeform http://dpaste.com/1FHAYQK so i suppose the ATTACHEMENTS get mangled now ?
ben_vulpes: trinque: i'll bang on it with you
funkenstein_: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-09-2015#1262718 <-- I just see more evidence Pythagoras was right ☝︎
pete_dushenski: i'm actually kinda impressed.
pete_dushenski: the craftiest spam commenters i've yet seen are all pointing to this guy : http://handyortenmein.com/
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and i think he was talking about an ssl turd, rather than anything from phuctor ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i got it, but ml didn't...
funkenstein_: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-09-2015#1262799 <-- Aha, thank you. Apparently I had no clue what "lexicon" actually means. ☝︎
trinque: asciilifeform | <trinque> maybe becomes a function of the web page viewer for V ? << i am writing one. << cool!
shinohai: That's why I'm here, so at least I may glean some knowledge in my lifetime.
shinohai: I don't mind the inquiry, sometimes I think perhaps I am too uneducated to even know the answer to that lol/
cazalla: pete_dushenski, ok, i'm lazy :)
cazalla: in other news, should be a bumper crop of broad beans in 6-8 weeks http://i.imgur.com/cWCLM61.jpg
cazalla: pete_dushenski, they're a dime a dozen so i never pursued it further than regging a domain name
shinohai: I was told I didn't need my physical keyboard either, only a touchscreen. yeah.
pete_dushenski: cazalla: i'd read it
shinohai: Nearly everyone *wants* to matter in some way, pete_dushenski. I'm not sure I want to matter in the preconceived notions that American culture *wants* you to matter in.
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-09-2015#1262962 <<< i didn't realise how pervasive the tidal shit from mummy bloggers were until i began looking up baby related things online ☝︎
shinohai: I find it rther liberating to know I don't matter and no one gives a shit what I say.
asciilifeform: ftr i happen to think that the turdatron is an abomination, but presently i have no idea what could be used instead. in fact, iirc i was the one to suggest the current scheme.
asciilifeform: <trinque> maybe becomes a function of the web page viewer for V ? << i am writing one.
asciilifeform: in fact, if i do it any other way, it dies
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: here's how i do it: 1) clearsigned (asciiarmoured) body. 2) attachment 3) signature (asciiarmoured, detached) of attachment, having the filename attach.foo.sig for every attach.foo ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i have nfi. all i know atm is this does not in fact work as is
mircea_popescu: i estimate currently this sort of thing is 99% why we don't get more work submitted.
trinque: as far as I recall that's right
mircea_popescu: the "with clearsigned body and .sig signature" version is exact replica of the single email i successfully sent to date, back in the days of the V patch.
trinque: I'm still waiting on being able to switch out of "digest" mode
mircea_popescu: the friability of this thing, whereby i did something, i didn't observe the expected result, and don't know what to do is driving me fucking bonkers.
mircea_popescu: jurov sent an email to the ml ~5 mins ago, i don't see it on http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-September/thread.html any idea why ?
assbot: Logged on 04-09-2015 22:09:22; mircea_popescu: ascii_modem if women had thermite up their ass which blew up every time someone grabbed it, ~I~ wouldn't have any arms.
shinohai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-09-2015#1262837 <<< neither would I have a pollon ☝︎
mircea_popescu: nothing about womenz and panties in there whatsoever. i'm sure.
shinohai: I am too
trinque: yeah I'm total shit on the guitar
mircea_popescu: shinohai i think unlike most music lovers, he knows he stinks.
trinque: eh I don't cry over that shit
shinohai: I'm quite sad for you trinque because a similar situation occurred to me. Losing an instrument to someone that loves music as I do is akin to losing a limb.
trinque: shinohai: yeah I have pictures of the relevant stickers with all that, but don't give a siht
mircea_popescu: as a kid, /me fambly had a neighbour. one day mom's cooking and i'm computing in other room. door was unlocked (most of my life i lived in a world where locks were not really useful). neighbour blasts in, goes past mom, into room, has a wrench, approaches heating element decidedly
mircea_popescu: (this event actually happened. splendid ass, /me grabs it, woman turns unamused and asks me what i'm doing, i retort that i'm innocently grabbing your ass, she says don't do that and i say alright.)
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem if women had thermite up their ass which blew up every time someone grabbed it, ~I~ wouldn't have any arms. ☟︎
trinque: place in town fixed same day in two hours; I was impressed
trinque: ahaha, well if they plug anything in... I have my ways
trinque: on the plus side, less to unpack later; I wasn't going to bring furniture anyway, so these were mostly toys stolen
mircea_popescu: "hey, what's that big ipad thing ?" "i dunno man, some older version. worth some scratch fo sho"
ascii_modem: 'ru i will learn only because... it was spoke by lenin'
mircea_popescu: and i suspect pretty strongly that the interest in romanian such as it is is because ~I~ speak it, here as well as in my harem and anywhere else genuine interest exists for this particular item in the "crappy language pack".
ascii_modem: sorta what i tried to explain to ben_vulpes
mircea_popescu: i never ever spoke any russian, with anyone, pre b-a, because no, russian is not "the vocabulary", but principally the set of historical russians. between tolstoy and hruschev not so much to pick.
trinque: my car was smashed-n-grabbed two nights ago, stole that 4u I picked up and some other computers, guitars, etc ☟︎
mircea_popescu: apparently. is a paste by kako above, i have my own copy too
shinohai: https://www.umiacs.umd.edu/about-us/news/mc2-doctoral-student-spreads-his-wealth-bitcoin-knowledge <<< signed up for your coursera course, watched 5 lectures and felt dumber than when I went in.
shinohai: heh I get "under maintenance" page on my direct ip, and endless load from vpn
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell bingoboingo i must point out qntra is in fact satisfying its job as a news site. I get news thgere.
shinohai: \o/ now if i only had btc to trade with the mermaids!
mats: as far as i know the army only operates drones to surveill and recon
mats: interesting features, i guess, might include repeaters, a gimbaled payload (expensive camera and sensors)
ascii_field: i do not know
mats: what qualifies as 'military'? i don't believe the army operates any uas with arms
thestringpuller: I could tell as soon as I read the nonsense you post about Blockstream
thestringpuller: i consider myself part of the internet mob
thestringpuller: Yes, Bitcoin will go up in value just by people holding it. That's how commodities work. I don't see anyone "using" gold.
trinque: I could hack on that this weekend
ascii_field: ^ this one is actually necessary and if no one else does it, i will. but can't promise ~when~.
trinque: I don't use classes in python if I can avoid it, nor many other parts of the language
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: any changes i'd make would produce higher linecounts.
trinque: I think python is a fair choice given the circumstances
ascii_field: perl was the only serious candidate, and if ben_vulpes would like to attempt a cleaner version (!) in it, i'm all ears.
trinque: two options I see are ball o' bash or CL
trinque: I am painfully aware of teh suck of python
ascii_field: trinque: but i was unable to find a suitable replacement for this item.
trinque: ben_vulpes: I recommended testing!
ascii_field: when i did it, at any rate.
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: let's get to the matter, if you would like to rewrite 'v' in sed and awk, go ahead. i was not equal to the task.
assbot: Logged on 04-09-2015 17:36:10; ben_vulpes: "i'll cut stainless, but you keep that piece of shit al off my machines"
ascii_field: the real question is why should i even consider the matter. because i can't really see why i should not also consider flossing my teeth with barbed wire, if considering java.
trinque: yeah I do get really scared when say leiningen pulls down five hundred java modules of questionable origin, when I've worked in Clojure in the past
ben_vulpes: "i'll cut stainless, but you keep that piece of shit al off my machines" ☟︎
ascii_field: i will neither write nor read java. not even for money.
trinque: I'd expect Java is also fucked along that border, among other places
funkenstein_: I always considered java to be like "C++ for dummies"
trinque: I personally know I'll never have a clear picture of what the VM and the machine underneath are doing *while* writing a program
ascii_field: i will not keep java on my systems.
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: i don't know and don't care
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform lol i wouldn't be too worried about it.
funkenstein_: nice article thanks jurov. "I'll take Regulatory Capture for 400 millies, Alex"
asciilifeform: ergo i see absolutely no reason for it to have a built-in su
shinohai: I thought mc switched you to a terminal and asked for pass when you input sudo commands.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-09-2015#1262457 << he gets it. i guess from experience. http://trilema.com/2015/strategy-for-the-antisocial-struggle/ ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "While I agree that not everyone is bad, I'll suggest that the number of bad people involved in bitcoin so far exceeds the number of bad people in other organizations that the whole system isn't working. I'm starting to consider whether people were wrong about the "decentralization" issue. Is it possible that decentralization was tried, and it is being proven right now that it simply doesn't work because the system bec
trinque: want to say I watched a docu about that
trinque: I guess that doesn't help much with a good IED
asciilifeform: i thought it was to have your own name on it.
mats: only memorabilia I have left are my sapper skill books, MREs, a single uniform set, and a buncha kia bracelets
mats: I've thrown away every coin I ever got.
mats: I have heard this, didn't believe it
asciilifeform: mats: the legend i was told re: 'challenge coins' is that they were issued in lieu of the 'last bullet' that americans used to slam on barroom stools in vietnam
mats: I think I'll get one, never considered how useful it would be until now
asciilifeform: actually the comments on one of the earlier links were 'it works but i wish it had keyboard'
