BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: You have to understand I am appraoching this as
a trained Librarian. Scripting is at best
a form of highlighting (never
a reason for broswerscript or postscript to be turing complete) Everything else it does is vandalism
BingoBoingo: Because FUCK YOU. Few things are worse than
a textbooks with highlights already
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel:
A page is
a document. Why should anyone other than the user impose any scripts upon the text?
gabriel_laddel: there is
a partially complete js->parenscript transpiler so that you don't have to read js
☟︎ gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: because there is
a lot of information that needs to be sucked out of the web, and having
a 'sharp' blade with which to do this will be quite valuable moving forwards.
☟︎☟︎ pete_dushenski: though i have to say, asciilifeform, for
a starved man, you think mighty clearly.

a JS REPL in Emacs?
assbot: Logged on 05-09-2015 02:38:55; mircea_popescu: in today's lulz : it turns out that bitcoin-qt interface, if presented with
a malformed value such as 1,275 btc instead of the 1.275 notation,
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-09-2015#1263077 << continuing our series of "power rangers are retarded lol", today's installment : bitcoind's idea of "passwords" allows digita and lowercase characters. no symbols no uppercase. not only does this mean
a bitcoind pw is half the strength of
a normal pw, but (the actual likely purpose of this retardation) it makes it trivial to identify wallet password lists. ESPEC
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: mats that's nice to have. i always puzzled over the incredibly poor security of mobile as
a design decision
☟︎ BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> so today i cut open the winblowz version of 'derive', v.6. it has mulisp buried in there!!
a 32-bit version thereof. hand-coded in asm, at least partly. << I my cursory seach Texas Instruments apparently "owns" derive
mircea_popescu: not that the general problem of "i will now emit
a string of bits and you tell me if this is
a function" isn't
a very interesting ai topic.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Is Soviet Eeyore also
a sad donkey?
mircea_popescu: every time the endless chorus of people that keep repeating "no srsly, ms improved" gets me to believe it on
a simple "regression to mean" theory, shit like this happens
mircea_popescu: but srsly, if anyone who understands these things is willing to explain it to me, how exactly is the kernel going to "verify target is in fact
a function" ?
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 01:28:11; mats: 'control flow guard', which verifies functions at call sites, ensuring target is in fact
a function.
mircea_popescu: derp on
a 500 bucks budget blows half of it to cover
a month of random retardation he found on the net.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 01:04:57; pete_dushenski: "I thought the support BitcoinXT had was way bigger because of so many people praising it on /r/Bitcoin. I wanted to help scale bitcoin so I spent about $200 to set up 10 BitcoinXT nodes for
a month."
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 00:41:21; pete_dushenski: it's not like i expect him to go anywhere
a la pankkake, tat, or decimation, but i don't trust him.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo next time film him, put him online. << He may or may not have been recorded. If his handlers read this they probably ought to see if their agent has
a file with one of the more trusted local constables.
mircea_popescu: but this is also the problem : you will never be able to get
a sufficient number of "nothing". the devil's giold coins have this way of turning to leaves in your hands
BingoBoingo: Spotted me specifically, made
a bit of smalltalk and then than coon tried to sell me the entire spectrum of drugs.
mircea_popescu: "microagressions" come from
a world that's not starshaped with the "usg" at the center of all things.
BingoBoingo: ks yo << And people were wondering why I wouldn't just plea out and pay
a fine
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> “under federal law,
a judge is technically allowed to sentence
a defendant based on conduct that was uncharged, [or]charged and dismissed, or even charged and acquitted. That’s because the standard of proof at trial is beyond
a reasonable doubt while the standard of proof at sentencing is by
a preponderance, i.e. more likely than not. […] The government can dismiss charges if it wishes, but if the court thin
mircea_popescu: the brits never won
a trial in imperial india, not ever.
shinohai: There was an i2p irc they had for
a while too iirc

mircea_popescu: but iirc this sort of fail was on
a ~1400 year period in that place.
mircea_popescu: even
a few emperors "too young" to assume the crown atthat age
BingoBoingo: definition: toom = the interior space of
a tomb
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Sure, making sure everything else is batteried
a bit harder, keeping Satan out much harder
mircea_popescu: it is exactly how the middle class usian became
a captive of ipad and suburbia.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the idea there is that in any situation of scarce resources, you pick the main threat and work towards that. working towards lesser threats is
a waste of your resources and promises to paint you in the corner of
a local maximum.
mats: i'm
a researcher. not
a defender offering his opinion on how to defend
a winbox.
mats: it doesn't. but random passerby has to spend
a shiny dime for the privilege of diddling your box
mircea_popescu: so yes, even with the cctv bla bla. not driving
a gps beacon is that much better.
mircea_popescu: mats which incidentally is
a valid point re your earlier "gps beacon" considerations.
mats: the CFG implementation is quite weak based on
a cursory inspection, but in general all this stuff raises the cost of attack
mats: 'control flow guard', which verifies functions at call sites, ensuring target is in fact
a function.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> ;;ud coon's age << But biologically
a coon's maximum lifespan is 18 months to 36 months
danielpbarron:
a vine clip is 6 seconds and that's already pushing it
danielpbarron: no,
a "minute" is
a long time in the retarded brains of today's youth
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Nah, just
a minute is
a long time nao
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> ben_vulpes: i just saw 'benkay' logged in and was inquiring, as i hadn't seen that handle in
a coon's age. << Coon vernacular for that period of time is "
a minute" now
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: i just saw 'benkay' logged in and was inquiring, as i hadn't seen that handle in
a coon's age.
mats: in the service of that note, i can't say i particularly care about
a guy whose chief 'contribution' is blathering at length on
a blog
shinohai: Euora I would consider
a good investment, and will when I buy my next computer
BingoBoingo: <mats> ah, my first neg rate <<
a test and
a milestone
pete_dushenski: danielpbarron: and sounds like you've made
a pretty penny off that investment too
pete_dushenski: "I thought the support BitcoinXT had was way bigger because of so many people praising it on /r/Bitcoin. I wanted to help scale bitcoin so I spent about $200 to set up 10 BitcoinXT nodes for
a month."
☟︎ BingoBoingo has yet to see pete_dushenski talk about wishes to leave
a tract of geography disputed by two Satans
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Wouldn't be the same unless we got the money to hire
a hot chick to read it
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Well, maybe we celebrate our fifth birthday with
a 500 kilowatt AM station?
BingoBoingo: I think mats is getting polish. He claims
a knowledge base which explains
a lotta cognitive dissonance that appears on subjects like ASLR (For the record I use an OS with ASLR by default)
pete_dushenski: it's not like i expect him to go anywhere
a la pankkake, tat, or decimation, but i don't trust him.
☟︎ assbot: You rated user mats on 28-Aug-2015, with
a rating of 2, and supplied these additional notes: Around
a while in various forms.
pete_dushenski: i've been trying to put my finger on this mats guy for
a while, ever since the decimation episode, and i think i've distilled it. without further ado :
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: It's
a show,
a true gem. Really destroys one's faith in American real estate
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I'm not watching it, just bet. Watching "To Catch
a Contractor" instead
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: oh the williams sisters are going at it in
a major ? that doesn't happen often enough
