trinque sheds a single tear for the supreme weed of the pacnw
BingoBoingo: <trinque> BingoBoingo: and hell I quit cigs << My vague memories of cocain are it feeling good, but not "getting a blowjob" good. Basically a wash

funkenstein_: meanwhile other parties pursued a ban on colombian exports and secured the borders as well as supply lines
mircea_popescu: which it does, and which romania is still in a position to very acutely measure.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: who smoked pot when ro was 'unaligned' ? << literally nobody. cops had no fucking idea what it smelled like, even. i don't mean "some". i mean you couldn't find a beat cop that did.

phf: i heard it's a hell of a drug
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> <BingoBoingo> thestringpuller: He was/is a white hamplanet with an enabling family. <<< what the fuck, hamplanet robbery ? (We joked before he ran away to Chicago that he robbed the bank with a sandwich, but no. Small town bank with limited highways)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i wouldn't sell cocaine either, at any rate not differently freom how it's done now, at which point you'd saysomething liek "mp is nao usg" and i'd hit you in the head with a six kg single crystal metaphetamine hammer.
asciilifeform: phf: a rewrite of the whole thing is required. and was, from day 1. and this is where we get to the boojum - apparently nobody wants this.

phf: asciilifeform: so you're saying a rewrite of the whole chunk is required? also do you think a careful inventory of references with cleanup of corresponding tree a doable approach?

phf: asciilifeform: your original analysis was that std::array (or was it boost) failed to release memory when prompted. seems like can either figure out how to prompt it harder, or substitute a structure. my other guess is that refs to same transactions are kept elsewhere, so are not actually release on clear, i haven't investigated that option yet though.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: there is a reason i gave up on backports. but i suppose you will discover it by yourself.

assbot: Logged on 07-10-2015 01:38:05; mircea_popescu: and in general, two types of problems. 1. "build me a bridge" ; 2. "find me the leak". 1 is blocking, but 2 isn't - if a baby goat finds the leak the leak's just as found as if jesus had found it.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-10-2015#1293449 << we actually have a 'type 1' problem here. i already found the leak. (it consists, roughly, of the vessel having no bottom to speak of!) ☝︎
BingoBoingo remembers this time back in undergrad at McKendree where in his freshman year this M named chick got busted for peddling weed to this Jim Chronister motherfucker (actual name because informants suck).

assbot: Logged on 07-10-2015 00:21:52; asciilifeform: who rents a $1k gadget ?
phf: asciilifeform: now all i need is for somebody to take mapTransactions / CTransaction from me... << i started investigating the issue a while ago, but dropped it since wasn't sure if it was the highest priority. i've been traveling, but i'll get back to it. i don't see any reason it can't be resolved. i'm not claiming territory, but unless someone more compotent decides to take over you can consider me
mircea_popescu: that's a decent amount of broker.
mike_c: and yes, i could put a cache buster on that.. i'll put it on the todo

danielpbarron: warcraft3 had a neat variation, "island defence," in which there is one monster and he is controlled by a human player, and joined by defeated defenders
asciilifeform: the 'prison' thing is also a tower defense
danielpbarron: that steampunk thing doesn't look like what I have played. To me, "tower defence" means building a maze of turrets to control the flow of progressively beefier monsters, the goal being to kill them all before the get through
asciilifeform: 'Two people died on the first day of my prison. The solitary was always full, most prisoners were shackled in their cells and a weeaboo legendary prisoner kept breaking out and killing my guards.. On the fourth day, said weeaboo broke through a double-layer solitary cell and stole a shotgun from an armoury. He lit the prison on fire and escaped. That's what I call a good prison.' << l0l
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> anyway, i'm kinda trying to de-walrus self, by pawning chore onto other fellas << Qntra struggles with this if any lurkers want a chance to get work done in #b-a wotlandia

assbot: Logged on 07-10-2015 00:35:19; mircea_popescu: nah, it's a minigame see. something like, you build the case for it, place it in the world, then people use it like a sort of arcade.
mircea_popescu: very little fucking and even less conceiving is done as a result.
mircea_popescu: yes, he's competent. there is however such a thing as competence choking.
asciilifeform: mine was more of a proof of concept / motorized spec
assbot: Logged on 07-10-2015 00:22:14; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-10-2015#1293144 << i dunno about that, guy's already king of a vast domain.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-10-2015#1293310 << my point was that i no longer see a point in maintaining my original 'v' - mod6 has a considerably spiffier one, which ought to be the flagship ☝︎
mircea_popescu: nah, it's a minigame see. something like, you build the case for it, place it in the world, then people use it like a sort of arcade. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> in fact, i intend to have a td minigame added as an eulora activity eventually. << Before or after Lich's are implemented as a thing to become

assbot: Logged on 06-10-2015 20:52:06; BingoBoingo: So malleability thing going now, excepting retards that do the 0-conf depend on txid... pretty much a mempool bloater
pete_dushenski: bit of a ding on cad/usd of late.
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> fluffy corgi ? got a pic ? << Challenge because of few good options to move pics from turdopnoHe to Interwebs since Imgur app went retarded
asciilifeform: most recently, went into one that had gps-guided gigantic quadrocopters for sale. at ~1300 usd a pop, even. funnily, they sell. and idiots fly them into various 'forbidden zones' like whitehouse, etc.
pete_dushenski: fluffy corgi ? got a pic ?
