trinque: I mean,
they wanted me
to have a cultural experience outside my own, and... did.
trinque: and look, I
turned out fine
trinque: heh, I was sent
to a black elementary school under some kind of diversity program.
mircea_popescu: recall when
they started bussing kids
to school lest you know, family
ties survive or some such

the reason why no experiment whatsoever with cheap housing en-masse is possible in usa, is
that any locale with such becomes 'infested' overnight
a111: Logged on 2014-05-09 19:48 asciilifeform: one other
thing about housing in usa -
that is rarely spoken of in
the open literature - is
that
the americans switched
to housing price as a means of putting
the '60-70s race wars on hold
a111: Logged on 2015-02-24 03:47 asciilifeform: housing and discrimination etc <<
the bans on 'asking wrong question' were enthusiastically pushed by
the real estate racket, who were all
too happy
to have price become
the one and only legal selector
ben_vulpes: facebook builds ad platforms
that lets you
target people based on skin color and income among a zillion other
things,
this is all great until people start advertising housing
to whites

the founders series roadster will cost buyers a 250K down payment even

two attackers accessed a private GitHub coding site used by Uber software engineers and

they emailed Uber asking for money.

whaack:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-21#1741626 << From my cursory understanding of
the segwit system
there's no way
to know if coins are in a segwit address until it is spent. It is effectively of
the nature where you must know x in h(x) for
the coins
to be spent, so a miner cannot snag
the coins until
the segwitter
tries
to spend.

a111: Logged on 2017-11-21 19:56 phf: we can of course specify our own subset of sexp
that we use for interchange (along
the lines of what
http://www.islisp.info/ did) but
that comes with all
the "specify our own interchange format" caveats
phf: you also want
to have a custom symbol reader, because reading cl::foo is going
to explode with a "locked package" error
phf: also probably want
to not have #s because
that requires a state of
the environment
a111: Logged on 2017-11-21 19:57 asciilifeform: phf: programmable readtables belong in
the harem.
phf: as
they say in russia, флаг в руки
phf: trinque:
the point is about exchange standard, rather
than effect. we can also follow eran gatt's approach and specify a *safe-readtable*
☟︎ phf: there's no such
thing as a standard sexps. sure (foo "bar" 1.2) but #\abc or #x123 exist in
the same realm as #.(...)
phf: (read-from-string "#.(format
t \"hello, world~%\")")
phf: we can of course specify our own subset of sexp
that we use for interchange (along
the lines of what
http://www.islisp.info/ did) but
that comes with all
the "specify our own interchange format" caveats
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-11-20 01:15 mircea_popescu: let's also see if phf wants
to add nething.
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-20#1740959 << i
think i said
that in logs before, but sexp is a poor data exchange format. read operation relies on current state of *readtable* and
traditionally readtable is customized
to specific operator needs.
there's a default *readtable*, but it's
too unconstrained
to be used for deserialization of untrusted data, since it, for example, supports arbitrary code execution, circular structures, etc.
☝︎ phf: strings as lists of character is a schemist wankery anyway along
the "our cpu uses church numerals!1"
a111: Logged on 2017-11-20 12:21 spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-14#1737956 <-- but lists are sequences
too, and strings can be represented as lists.
this becomes problematic when O(1) random accesses are needed. if/when
that happens, I will have
to implement arrays, but until
then... strings are lists-of-characters.
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-20#1741179 << you can just ignore
the whole "string" question in first version, McCarthy's lisp used symbols instead of strings (that's why early nlp code, like eliza all come out as DOG SAID, HELLO) and
the only operation you could do at some point was read and eq.
☝︎☟︎☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-11-20 14:57 asciilifeform: pretty sure his ( and others ) give back
the bytes
that were put in ( which imho is correct behaviour )
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-20#1741280 << it doesn't, logotron necessarily has
to interpret
the nature of bytes (because
the display layer is explicitly encoded). so
the log collection and storage is 8 bit clean, but display makes assumpetions for rendering purpose. specifically i assume
that log is utf8, but if utf8 decoder fails on line, i fall back
to latin-1 (this is a
traditional irc mechanism, details of which have been discussed)

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-14#1737923 <-- also, spyked's adalisp is missing more fundamental
things, such as closures. it's an early prototype, barely usable, but > 0. interning is of course considered, but not added yet. anyway, phf, consider
the following point: built-in symbols (car, cons, etc.) still have
to point *somewhere*, and
that somewhere must not be addressed in a C-machine style! symbols should point
to Lisp memory (via

the plug,
the actual-copper 30amp 4conductor cable, and make new cord,
then attach
to
the internal bolts.
ben_vulpes: well it's a rated pigtail, copper
through and
through
ben_vulpes: oh also receptacle is very high on
the wall, extending made it a guaranteed fit, replacing woulda been
tight borderline not-workable.
ben_vulpes: 'trivially', did not want
to start gentooing dryers as well
ben_vulpes: leprosy cheese on
the shit sandwich of american products is
that
the dryer power cable was not
trivially replaceable, had
to be extended.
ben_vulpes: semi-relatedly, i went
to build an extension cord for my dryer, ~all
the old women at
the hardwarestoremegachain insisted
that i simply could not do what i was going
to do
BingoBoingo: This happens. I see idea executed dangerously and poorly.
Then "What if maintained and done better?" Often for many idiot
things right means unreasonable, and
then
there is la escalara de winch.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo it's dangerous,
that shit, esp in a country where
the only style of maintenance is "is it broken y/n". << Quiero sus escalara de winch, no. Quiero mis escalera de winch, si.

pete_dushenski: "Bitcoin Gold Core is a full Bitcoin Gold client and builds
the backbone of
the network. It offers high levels of security, privacy, and stability. However, it has fewer features and it
takes a lot of space and memory.
scriba: Logged on 2017-11-21: [14:05:15] <jurov> also,
there's "bitvoin gold" pump going
too, apparently it's possible
to exchange for BTC
the same way as BCH, will be looking into it
