trinque: one sec while I go find the ram usage of runit on
a similar device
phf: mod6: you might be right not wanting to `use`. i decided to look at file::temp to see how they do ffi, but instead it's
a custom perl written blob. probably reasonable to use, but.. in any case i recommend at least conforming to the api of mkdtemp("/tmp/fooXXX") => /tmp/fooAj5. i took
a stab at
a sample code,
http://paste.lisp.org/display/158520, but there are some other things to keep in mind,
☟︎ trinque: I was thinking of
a lower log level than whatever I'd expect from "debug" but in that case yes
trinque: this log file is
a small fraction of the size of the blockchain which is also constantly being written
trinque: when it is sitting on
a system where the user can decide to do this if he chooses
trinque: I am commenting on the idiocy of
a thing *ever* taking it upon itself to erase the history of its own operation
trinque: asciilifeform: one might rotate
a production log, fine
phf: mkdtemp is
a canonical way of creating
a temporary directory on unix, that'll also ensure
a) no collisions b) proper permissions, i.e. 700
trinque: that it's
a debug log and someone thought well gee if it gets too big better shrink it
mod6: i guess i could hash the epoch time and append it to the dir name, store it as
a global for "session" key.
mircea_popescu: gen memory key, keep it in
a file keyed thus, delete on finish.
mod6: my thought was to create if it doesn't exist, otherwise die. and delete at the end of execution. however there is
a scenario where if for instance
a seal exists from
a key that is not in the wot and the application exits before main returns.
mircea_popescu: it does offer
a firm guarantee that "always the one you made"
mod6: ah, similar to your py implementation? i'll take
a look.
assbot: Logged on 02-05-2014 02:36:33; asciilifeform: decimation: for some reason, this reminds me of
a tale my consulting partner (physicist, grew up in india, 1970s) told me. students would qualify on instruments that barely worked, but belonged, to, e.g. the great Bose.
mircea_popescu: i don't recall who had this display of "100 ohm resistors" that measured from 30 to
a whopping 1.5k
mircea_popescu: "|Ulanoff completely fails to examine this "oh yeah, we suck in some areas claim". Why? The guy's
a "car reporter". No more, no less. If he says negative things about the companies that pay his salary, he gets fired and the publication for whom he works never gets another scoop/lead/exclusive." << BUT WHY ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Aha, hinted but yes
a point for the comments!
trinque: the nazis had quite the multiprocessing going for
a time
assbot: Logged on 04-11-2015 13:43:59; mod6: <+mircea_popescu> that's not so good. <+asciilifeform> which is not
a thing that you want. << Ah, ok. Thanks for looking at it. Instead of using ~/.gnupg, would it be alright to create
a ~/.gpgtmp upon startup and rm ~/.gpgtmp when complete?
assbot: Logged on 05-11-2015 00:10:19; asciilifeform: i cannot help but be surprised when i encounter, in the old words of ben_vulpes, 'clown cars glued to
a spinning ceiling'
trinque: I'll have
a taste of some low-hanging fruit this weekend
mircea_popescu: "You want
a non-tyrannical Apple? Rather than striving to weaken Apple so that it can be devoured by its brawny-yet-mindless competitors, do something constructive. Experiment with GUIs which don’t trace their descent to Xerox PARC. Forever renounce the idiotic practice of copying Microsoft, that cheap imitation of
a cheap imitation. If you are creative, create. Otherwise, strive to find
a strong-willed Jobs fig
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i would honestly think it's
a waste of your time to do this ?
mircea_popescu: missed by
a mile, they weren't even shooting towards it.
mircea_popescu: in fact, and i had this deeply reviewed, ipad is an approximation of "Flash games"/arcade website, which was always
a bit player.
mircea_popescu: so : there is
a thing. it doesn't go there. to their detriment. what of the monopoly ?
mircea_popescu: sure, they got
a monopoly on all the candy crush. so ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but entertain me, for my own education, on
a purely business matter of some public interest.
mircea_popescu: i can teach constitutional law to
a rodent that's obedient and determined, enough of it at any rate to surpass the present mulatto in chief.
assbot: Logged on 04-11-2015 21:19:42; asciilifeform: 'This is SOP for STEM/Biz profs, too. Never be alone with female students. Never mentor them. Never supervise
a graduate thesis.
A bad review/grade turns into
a sexual harassment claim far too easily.'
mircea_popescu: better model; always asks current ego to die because current ego is
a piece of shit.
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
a very simple solution is, "never fuck newbies without at least one slavegirl participating"
mircea_popescu:
a society that doesn't bitchslap them opens itself to this sort of gunkification.
assbot: Logged on 04-11-2015 21:14:52; mike_c: I am not understanding this romanian mess.. what the hell does some fire in
a club have to do with the PM
mircea_popescu: finding
a solution to the hosting problem,
a ~correct~ solution is actually higher priority than anything else atm.
assbot: Logged on 04-11-2015 20:13:41; trinque: and two, I would like to move the hosting of the thing off AWS if anyone can recommend
a friendlier host
mircea_popescu:
a ton of orphan blasting, looking through the logs, but they don't actually do anything to me.
mircea_popescu: here's
a tidbit : all "named" banks actually operate under license, separately. because the chinese will strangle you if you actually send info over.
mircea_popescu: i love it, really. it's basically
a tax on supermarkets.
mircea_popescu: incomprehensibly,
a few people still use the supermarkets.
mircea_popescu: supermarkets here want to see id for cash payments over ~100 dollars. everyone else pays you
a discount because well, they don't actually report/pay the tax.
mircea_popescu: could get "caught" in
a "sting" for selling
a used fridge for 525 dollars
