mircea_popescu: spyked "the original script doesn't always pass childNodes[0]

spyked: and that didn't work for me for some reason.
as for other potential problems... I used the firefox dev console, single-stepping through the js code and comparing between Trilema and my blog instance.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-12#1787606 <-- I got it to work for thetarpit, I had to solve one or two specific problems to make it work. one was to get the correct ID of the DOM subtree where the highlighting occurs (lines 43, 91 and 225 of
http://deedbot.org/deed-506234-1.txt ) and another was to ensure that the recur function gets called on the correct subtree -- the original script doesn't always pass childNodes[0]

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo in other lulz, other than trying to push bitcoin crash
as an implicit alternative, bitpay finally dropped bitcoin payments in favour of some nonsense "payment protocol" they developed in-house. << AHA, yeah the PRB v 0.9 thing
mircea_popescu: speaking of which : stash some bitcoin with a credible agent and go straight to club fed.

as your "commissionary" account gets a few thou dripped every month/week, you can impregnate the entire population of "social workers"

☟︎ lobbes: Biggest challenge for me was I had to figure out how to set up mysql for mp-wp via command-line (
as I interact with my VPSen via ssh only). Turned out to be very simple once I did figure it out. Currently testing and tweaking themes, and then plan to post my own compendium cobbled from my notes once I get the thing into "production"
mircea_popescu: heh. trilema was a "victim" btw, in the sense of seeing 10x
as much "traffic"
as usual.
lobbes: ahh that's right. I'd wager that'd be it
as well
shinohai: !~later tell jurov I wish to donate my Feb. Qntra shares to the Bitcoin Foundation, please to advise

mircea_popescu: "open source" for
as long
as the idiots are willing to provide free work to usg.scamdept.
mircea_popescu: in these terms the infantile "i only want to solve problem Y defined
as 80% of the actual problem" readily shows its infantilism. good and well that you want to build an os without a socio-political model ; but what you want dun enter into this.
mircea_popescu: this then induces two possible errors in aproach. the situation where the solution is over-span, which we generally call "overengineered" ; and the situation where the solution is under-span, which is pluriously referenced
as jwz's error, but is not substantially different from
http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=spreading+works or the airplane that can take off, and flies well, but can't land.
mircea_popescu: yes, but this "poor mastery of book learnin', relying on endless tomes of tico brache measurements" thing -- very much what the engineer started off
as.

mircea_popescu: it's not a matter of articulating c "in such a way

a111: Logged on 2018-03-08 17:41 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the directly analogous to 'hong kong' algo would be (brace yerself) separate processes for ada and c-crapolade, connected via ipc (under a unixlike, prolly 'domainsocket'). because otherwise, they live in same process, and if c-crapolade is entrusted with making e.g. a valid adastring, it can lie about the length and hose the ada routine, or simply fandango over address space
as c-crapolade is wont to, and so forth.
mircea_popescu: hence, successes. strikes me
as the c-ing-est, most adnotated, meaningless drivel approach possible. innit ?
mircea_popescu: what they did, referentially,
as hanbot cleverly pointed out, is they called it "bram stoker's dracula" because the coppola version, which is what spawned this modern nonsense of young-male-vampire, CALLED it that. they have nfi who coppola was, or stoker for that matter. they just COPIED THE STRING.

http://trilema.com/2017/the-practical-costs-of-hallucinated-freedom/ -- specifically, thinking people need a much larger sunken cost to evaluate their choices and come to the correct conclusion they got none. this is a lot more evident to idiots.
as this disparity flows from the definitions of terms...)
mircea_popescu: phf back upstack, the argument can be brought that lisp failing to standardize [the only item that actually needed it] the ffi is actually why lisp failed ; both
as a standard and
as a technical solution.
mircea_popescu: in any case, the english didn't force the chinese to understand what contracts are. they just gave ~themselves~ passports and acted
as if they were in england.
mircea_popescu: "hong kong",
as in, "what trade happens in your country will happen in english and
as per english law" would be the opposite of "unicode", conceptually.
mircea_popescu: we will evidently have a ffa-based, canonical gpg replacement. EVENTUALLY. until such an eventually, i don't feel so great recommending anyone gpg (or, heavens help us,
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1774477 -- just
as i had to do, and recently). so a drop-in, eucrypt-based, "good enough" item is more than useful.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-28#1786498, in Ada code and now I'm debating if I shouldn't just move the code to C
as the eucrypt interface is C. But then maybe eucrypt will move to FFA someday in the future and Ada will be a benifit. (Working on code with lot's of C calls in Ada is not nice...)

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-08#1787224 << i don't expect eucrypt will ever move to ffa. this is in no sense a disidence, or any negative comment on ffa whatsoever. they are intended and designed
as very different usecase solutions -- note the speed differential incumbent. eucrypt works
as a "good enough" item, it principally intends to support a game, and same-level crypto needs. it's consequently to be light, fast, and ~r

☟︎ mircea_popescu: it is not an idle comment to observe that the universalist nature of pantsuitism manifests here exactly
as everywhere -- their sad, broken cargocultish tech-ersatz does exactly what their sad, broken fake of an economy etc : rolls up the small costs into a larger one to be paid "in the future", which to them is a term of art specifically meaning never.
diana_coman:
as to trying eulora: it's not time consuming really; I guess the initial jump can seem intimidating until you figure out what is what and what to do

☝︎☟︎ diana_coman: but for now it survives
as it is because there are so many other things that are more pressing, sigh
diana_coman: ave1 there is open_entropy_source which simply opens it and returns the handle; then you can use it for
as long
as you want, with get_random_octets_from (rather than get_random_octets)
mircea_popescu: the "online ads" thing is so fucking dead, alphabet continuing to claim that
as income is much more scandalous fraud than anything gaddafi ever did.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 14:28 mircea_popescu: esthlos it is not standard procedure ; the emerging consensus is to have a dedicated philosophy file which a) all patches must touch (by protocol) ; b) contains comments
as to the patcher's state of mind and c) contains one line per patch uniquely identifying it, machine generated. the format's not fixed yet, but
as phf is working on a new proper vdiff it's probably going to coalesce around a variant of whatever he uses.
BingoBoingo: ^ And now this year appears to be getting a very 2012 feel
as the ghost of Amir's anti-credibility campaign ramps up
mircea_popescu: and for the crit lit / media experts, here's a conundrum : cool it carol, easily the best movie made in the 70s and one of the best movies ever, came out 1970. in 1971, "plaza suite" featuring matthau and various women has a segment dedicated to this anti-carol (mimsy), a dumb murican priss who locks herself in bathroom on her wedding day. the clou of the entire production is made into some schmuck (almost

mircea_popescu:

diana_coman:
as to the serpent_self_test procedure - it can in principle even go away entirely
as there is an equivalent test in the tests dir where tests should be anyway; the self_test is left mainly because it was in the original, but not crucial in any case
ave1: After that,
as it turns out, ada still produces some code which is not supported by the zfp lib. I fixed some of this, but this is very much a build - add some code - retry cycle and that will take some time.

ben_vulpes: well, "big", 1.5M if you count most of the exurbs
as well
ben_vulpes: that box is hosting both qntra and pizarro's web presence, and then on top of that it's splitting a 1u with another piece of hardware (right BingoBoingo ?), so something hilarious like .003 btc this month? i was planning to host it
as a service to the republic tbh, especially since the machine it's on is running pizarro's website

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Prime
as in the country expects guests coming for the beaches, and there being the tourism infastructure turned on in case you want to do some sightseeing.
mircea_popescu: JUST SO, the bank ~sold~ people bills to itself. if you pay the bank $5, you get in exchange... a bill for $5, that you can give to the bank,
as if the bank had sat in your restaurant and ate $5 worth.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and since we're doing history lesson : the reason the option is called "CALL" is because of its functional equivalence to the... calling of capital for subscribed shares. basically what you're selling there is the... right for someone to... CALL the cash equity
as if the share had just been subscribed. you "resubscribe" it so to speak, it's a fictitious revirgination of the holy mother.
mircea_popescu: this aside -- you certainly can also have the foundation simply hold a convertible debt ; but bear in mind that it can't possibly hold a seat on the board until such a time
as it converts that bond and gets shares.
mircea_popescu: then
as the preliminaries were done and the thing was starting to move capital was "called up", ie, joe you underwrote 10`000 shares, now's the time to pay up so and so moneys.
mircea_popescu: yes well, let's not confuse the inept products of idiots with the broader categories. trezor is a specific piece of shit, not something
as lofty
as "a hardware wallet".
diana_coman: phf, hm, I *did* use those; the trouble is that in principle the rsa stuff is *not* null terminated
as such and I couldn't get them to work properly in such case (or is it not even possible, regardless of passing the length?)
diana_coman: ave1, my current solution is to pass the length
as a separate parameter indeed and in addition to actually copy octet by octet; To_C and To_Ada still fail me on occasion so I can't really rely on them - this might be of course because I don't fully understand them yet; in any case, please write it up, pretty please

as such and then I can still avoid the C.Strings, stick with the procs To_Ada and To_C; it's not going to be pretty but at least the mess is
