asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-26#1758789 << ben_vulpes if you look at phf's patch tree graphical viewer, you will realize how asciilifeform solved this problem ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-26#1758788 >> 'The founder also promised that in addition to the common practice of crediting BTC holders with equivalent balances of the new coin (B2X), they would also receive “a proportional number of Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoins as a reward for their commitment to progress.”' << lol!! ☝︎
asciilifeform: let's say every homo redditus alive -- suddenly interested. then WHAT? what's gained, other than a great mass of meat that now gotta be put somewhere far from the reactor rods ☟︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-26#1758834 << it is not clear to me why the current scheme ( leaving aside the idiocies of unix diff/patch, in particular the file moves thing ) is not satisfactory. i dun subscribe to the 'force beauty through mechanism' school of thought. it is the job of the patch author to make it behave acceptably in the target vtree, ~before~ releasing. and failures are of the author, not of the mechanicals. ☝︎
asciilifeform: i suspect that not 1 could follow, e.g., the apeloyee noise floor thread.
asciilifeform: the problem with voice pirates, any and all who have ever at any point lived, is that they are reddit.
asciilifeform: the usg polizei prioritize the voice pirates, because they compete directly with the usg 'music' monopoly
asciilifeform: but observation is that plenty of folx are, i suspect, already 'pirating'
a111: Logged on 2017-12-26 23:04 mircea_popescu: my original thought was "can we do something like the tits drip but for sw enthusiasts instead ?" ; alf pointed out thatr well, carrierless issue.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-26#1758839 << asciilifeform did a bit of survey of the sw spectrum ( where he lives , but also elsewhere, via helpful public toilet ip-streamed receivers. ) plenty of digital ???? in'ere. incl. in places where none 'ought', Officially, to be. but 1) could just as easily be usg 2) it's all, definitionally, carriered signal, or asciilifeform would never have learned of it ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-26#1758841 << the real mega-puzzler is , what if anything are they capable of that is of any use whatsoever. ☝︎
shinohai: Yeah sofiababy left in huff, just noticed she had pm'd me to find her on skype but cba with that.
mircea_popescu: if we had a chinese girl that'd work, except, of course...
a111: Logged on 2017-12-26 22:22 danielpbarron: wasn't indiancandy/sofiababy looking for a way to make bitcoin?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-26#1758819 << she kinda got sent off for NOT being looking dedicatedly enough ; then she got pissy because i imagine in her dumb head she had self-delusions as to self-importance as dear as they were baseless. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: if anyone's got an idea of how to construct the item though i'd much like to hear.

a111: Logged on 2017-12-25 19:34 mircea_popescu: and speaking of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-25#1758548 anyone got any ideas of how to meaningfully support the SW hobbist ?
a111: Logged on 2017-12-26 22:02 danielpbarron: relatedly, l0de expressed interest in running a "trilema infomercial" on his show. I told him he should bring it up in here, as i'm not sure what that should entail
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-26#1758800 << this was re http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-25#1758556 ☝︎☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-12-26 21:42 phf: we also at some point had a thread, where i believe ascii but also others were leaning towards the idea of a single file vpatches (i.e. that a vpatch should only ever contain hunks for a single file). i'm starting to think that multi-file solutions in general are a hack ("we can't fit the entire compilation in memory"), but then i've been looking at TeX on one hand, and the "millions of support files" in diff/patch on the other

a111: Logged on 2017-12-26 21:40 phf: ben_vulpes: official trb releases touch many files to tie them all into a single endpoint, e.g. `makefile' did that
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-26#1758784 << true. ☝︎
phf: If you have only the present report, not a tape, you will have to prepare files WEAVE.WEB and TANGLE.WEB by hand, typing them into the computer by following Appendices D and E. Then you have to simulate the behavior of TANGLE by converting TANGLE.WEB manually into TANGLE.PAS ; with a good text editor this takes about six hours.
phf: in unrelated lulz, knuth shares mp approach to discipline:
trinque: shinohai, you are the baron titsbare himself; got any camhos that can read?
danielpbarron: wasn't indiancandy/sofiababy looking for a way to make bitcoin? ☟︎☟︎
l0de: someone with a thick romanian\cambodian accent reading a statement they obviously do not understand
l0de: no nudity though, youtube is run by craven puritans
shinohai: Assuming I can find one that speaks English nowadays ..... xD ☟︎
danielpbarron: perhaps we can get one of shinohai's cam whores to do it
l0de: as they are internet neer-do-wells
l0de: I would stress that my audience doesn't take anything seriously unless it's presented in a humorous context or it is presented as ruining someone's shit
l0de: Or you can have someone call in to read a statement ☟︎
danielpbarron: would that be a pre-recorded audio clip/ video that we provide?
l0de: to get viewers of my show interested in their political goals ☟︎
l0de: I suggest the most serene republic air some sort of introductory statement
l0de: the funds have been remitted to my account
danielpbarron: reg a key and you'll be able to voice yourself
danielpbarron: relatedly, l0de expressed interest in running a "trilema infomercial" on his show. I told him he should bring it up in here, as i'm not sure what that should entail ☟︎
danielpbarron: i think so, but it'd be nice to get a confirmation from him in here
phf: i don't remember if there was any kind of interesting insight from the resulting graph, i should revisit it..
phf: in which case your graph connections become mandatory transitions (rather than what it is now, where you can technically press two different vpatches against a non-overlapping sets of files)
phf: i've also played around with treating vpatch as a container. there's a function on btcbase for splitting all of the vpatches into separate objects, that each hold a single file changes (it's called something like explode-vpatch)
ben_vulpes: also, single-file vpatches drives the system towards whole sourcetree hashing, otherwise they'll definitionally never depend on one another
phf: we also at some point had a thread, where i believe ascii but also others were leaning towards the idea of a single file vpatches (i.e. that a vpatch should only ever contain hunks for a single file). i'm starting to think that multi-file solutions in general are a hack ("we can't fit the entire compilation in memory"), but then i've been looking at TeX on one hand, and the "millions of support files" in diff/patch on the other ☟︎☟︎☟︎
ben_vulpes: phf: this exposes another problem: in ideal vtronics it is an illegal operation to press to multiple leaves at the same tree level, which is the only way to have a codebase against which to create a makefiles-type patch that ties multiple patches together ☟︎
shinohai: Just in time for the holidaaaaaaaaaaays fake bitcoin returns
phf: ben_vulpes: official trb releases touch many files to tie them all into a single endpoint, e.g. `makefile' did that ☟︎
ben_vulpes: phf: which vpatch does this show up in?
ben_vulpes: this still leaves me in the pickle of producing a vpatch from a press to a that won't actually descend linearly from a without touching a file, and adding "this line necessary to ensure this vpatch descends from a and not genesis" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: then if it is, trinque's point goes away because well... file hash as good as project hash for the linear bat.
diana_coman: onth "meaningful" there doesn't refer to code only and if new code in new files depends on existing code in untouched existing files, it may be meaningful nevertheless to update the readme file of the project for instance to say as much
ben_vulpes: so far the solutions i see are a) mircea_popescu's "what tree, all patches must descend linearly or be reground into linearity" 2) allow for pressing heads that do not touch the same files
mircea_popescu: trinque this is actually not altogether a meritless point.
diana_coman: I ran a bit into that with eucrypt but I can't say I have some clear idea what would be a good solution there as it seems to me it's a matter of level considered i.e. file, folder, component, whole project, what
ben_vulpes: it may be that tracking hashes at the file level isn't the right thing, because with vdiff as implemented i can trivially generate a vpatch b while working from a press of a that nevertheless still only depends on genesis if a leaves files untouched and b touches those untouched files only
trinque: further, pointless edits are antithetical to v-tronics
a111: Logged on 2017-12-26 17:52 ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-26#1758614 << consider a genesis, a and b patchset where a and b don't touch the same files. if i press to b, write a c that descends from b, it will not have a as an antecedent. when you say "modify the filebase into the shape that you want it to be", do you mean include the changes of a in the c patch?
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-26#1758679 << to my mind this suggests the hashes present in vpatch blocks are wrong. if they were rather the hash of the entire concatenation of the diffed item before and after applying that block, there'd be no need to pointlessly edit files to continue on the same branch. ☝︎☟︎☟︎
shinohai: This is hilarious on thepiratebay website, on the donation footer says: "Bcash: LOL" ☟︎
ben_vulpes: #define true false
diana_coman: ben_vulpes, he started sounding too much like mpi-insane
ben_vulpes: borstal: that's it?
mod6: TMSR~: mod6.net is back up. Thanks.
borstal: Right Banks, you bastard! I'm the daddy now, next time, I'll fucking kill ya!
ben_vulpes: it's still 2017, borstal, what do you have to show for how you've lived your life?
mircea_popescu just dumped a whole sack of coal on teh grill, teh girls happily cleanning up a grosse of pleurotus... if anyone needs me ima be at teh rancho bbqing. ☟︎

BingoBoingo: There's chicas everywhere so if that fell through no big deal... The concerted effort put for by the locals on the Latino Christmas show, I lack the patience and means to make that happen on a whim.
BingoBoingo: One doesn not see the city in the splendid glow of burning metal salts in the sky without missing them.

mircea_popescu: "avoidant" as per teh "attachment theory" nonsense that pantsuit "public policy" rests upon
BingoBoingo: Well, too coy for 2017
phf: would that be considered "a coy behavior"?
BingoBoingo: That's not very informative, you've expended both your strikes. One last chance to make a good impression.
shinohai: mp-wp worked equally well on apache and nginx for me. Never used another db besides mysql tho
danielpbarron: i'm familiar with apache but i was trying out nginx at first for this
mircea_popescu: didja run into trouble with it ? ask away
danielpbarron: photographed the unboxing to maybe post on blog when i figure this mp-wp thing out
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: How's the frozen north?
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, got your package! ty
mircea_popescu: hanbot no but see, THIS is what a classical education fucking is. not retarded fry making hobbit jokes because hey, the history according to fry started when he first got a bit of usg.corp fried chicken.
hanbot: in other puns, i discovered just this morning that "hippopotamus" is the latin horse + river, had missed out on the double pun fun of http://trilema.com/2017/the-hippopotamus/ 's last line. i stand in awe and horror of whomever ends up adnotating trilema
mircea_popescu: because nothing less than this is at stake ; and do not make stray patches if you can help it.
mircea_popescu: so as the reconciler, you get to pick which of ~either~ a ~or~ b to count in your considered oppinion as the republican and which as the heretic. ☟︎
