mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo aite ; the one thing missing from your enumeration there, is "gpgram me the story of bbisp fiat holdings ab origine." ; what this means is, i want a list showing "hey, i got $8500 (or w/e the fuck it was) and i spent x, y, z, k, l, leaving me with q". you wrote me a story,
as a literary exercise, i want a numeric thing. gpg & send.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman
as it currently stands it's a wonder it doesn't have ebcdic faggotry baked in also.
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.

as alf says, "didn't everyone do that in kindergarten???"

As of now I have a pretty solid plan in terms of getting started and whatnot, I'll definitely be living comfortable. I'm just not sure what I should try to do after that to

mircea_popescu: here's what i mean : being a doctor is a career path. you have to, mind, HAVE TO go to a certain fixed form schooling ; there's no dispute
as to this. after you do, every year you practice you get better, and your market value improves. eventually decay sets in and you retire.
douchebag: mircea_popescu: I want a career
as a pentester, so far I feel I'm doing pretty good in terms of getting experience and reputation in the community. Do you have any suggestions for ways I that could get further on my career path?

mircea_popescu: also didn't you end up NOT having to pay vat,
as per export etc ? or what was that discussion
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1774399 << entirely separate concerns.
as to 1, yes, we all have repeated conversations with alf in this vein, i dunno what exactly to do about it ; 2. the quality of your killshot was poor, and it is my theory that this is because the sort of topic would greatly benefit from the cohesive power of an article ; nothing to do with log not being canon, but a matter of collected convenience.

mircea_popescu: there's one thing it can't express too well (well here means -- in such a way
as to guaranteedly and inescapably inconvenience EVERYONE) and that is, a certain notion of finality.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to me either. i'm mostly putting the matter into over-enunciated discussion to get the thinkjuices flowing on the topic,

as per latest thread on subj), but it's a non-pragmatic take
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes but life served you lemons. you gotta make what is a very unpleasant cut
as a political decision.
mircea_popescu: the OTHER however, plain idiocy
as opposed to the malevolent sort, is perhaps best rendered
as "missing formats".
caaddr:
as far
as I can tell, you can either rewrite their shitware from scratch and surgically remove the primes yourself, or you can import it into the less damaged gpg1 to achieve much the same in a less irritating way

mod6: hanbot: here's what I have currently running on an Ubuntu 14.04 box. I believe this to be all that is required, you can change the values
as required, but I think one catch that I found is that root's ulimit needed to be set just a bit higher than the non-root user.
caaddr: instead we have... what do we have? we have the blockchain but we're still using dns. we have common lisp but we're still using scheme, or, worse, clojure. we have ada but we're using rust. "we" being "we the people",
as in the redditoid masses

☟︎ caaddr: compared to compilation

☟︎ caaddr: I suppose you would prefer hardware-only optimizations in any case, so ideally they would not be part of the software stack at all. compilation for performance
as caching only
diana_coman: upload the patches there + discussion
as to why and what; link to asciilifeform's ch1 ffa and you're done
mircea_popescu: "Coping with radical novelty requires an orthogonal method. One must consider one's own past, the experiences collected, and the habits formed in it
as an unfortunate accident of history, and one has to approach the radical novelty with a blank mind, consciously refusing to try to link it with what is already familiar, because the familiar is hopelessly inadequate." << this never was, and absolutely never will be the case. mo
hanbot: file-max futzing
as graciously put on example above resulted in zero change of error, fwiw. will check out mod6's pill when available (no rush).
mircea_popescu: it's "could have had, that's just
as good" all the way down!
mircea_popescu: meter the resources
as you do it, cpu time/disk io, whatever is your concern. then bill the person, and store the bill, so you can present it in the future ("the previous three bills average X, so you have an idea how much)
lobbes: target=blank added on external archive links (links to archive.is)

BingoBoingo: They use it and "Este"

as a way to get better known in the community
mircea_popescu: spyked well, i expect the ivf of ye olde library was epsilon.
as alf says, "entomologist only". because wtf do they have, a story of two scytales ? tyvm, it's obsolete.
mircea_popescu: do me a favour and walk the list of binary images, applying one or the other
as best fits.
mircea_popescu: anyway, you're on to something here douchebag ; work on it, with serious dedication, by the time you're
as old
as the rest of these guys you'll prolly be more valuable than them.
douchebag: Ohh right, I understand. I agree, however to me I treat web application pentesting
as almost a sort of game or puzzle, in my opinion it is rather entertaining challenge to be able to modify a web applications behavior in a way that leads to total comprimise.

☟︎ phf: third solution, that's latest conversation in logs on subj is that perhaps binary blobs don't really belong in a vdiff which is a human readable code container, and should just be packed separately into e.g. a signed TAR archive and unpacked into place
as a second pass

mircea_popescu: sometimes (often) wordpress manages to lose a pingback ; that thing will walk your db, spit out properly formatted xml payloads for all links in all your (published) posts. the resuilt can be run
as a bash script to catch up on any missed pingbacks.

☝︎☟︎ phf: by the way, knuth's CWEB nicely solves the whole auto-wrapped comment issue. the TeX part doesn't mandate newlines, and obviously does it's own formatting, but the C part is also very aggressively formatted by the CWEB code. specifically /* comments */ are treated
as TeX source, and get re-wrapped according to TeX rules.

as they are right now, I expect them to be unusable on many systems (e.g. musl-gentoo).
mircea_popescu: it includes such wonders
as frozen nvidia drivers (binary)
spyked: there are some dependencies on cl-who and a few other libraries, which for now are taken
as they are (similarly to trb "deps")
spyked: hi mircea_popescu. sure, I remember russell's thing. but is that really a problem? (

mircea_popescu: it's such a pleasure to see half a dozen people work

mircea_popescu: what, am i to surmise we're not

as snowden and strauss-kahn ? or rather that the empire sunk to such a depth it is not even capable of finding mendacious prostitutes/chambermaids anymore ?
