trinque: we'll lose ground but there's
a vast difference there
trinque: let us panic about our demise
a bit and see what ideas are palatable
trinque: the USA has done total war before, even if it's been
a while
funkenstein_: forbes piece is nice in admitting the 1st priority of
a university: real estate developer
trinque: or "wake me up when" they strike
a deal with Russia
trinque: at that point I could believe that they're an actual threat, in that not they, but the actual other superpower, is
a threat
trinque: were I an ISIS, I would look for
a large ally that was not the USA
mats: if the caliphate is established, they'll have materialized as
a real threat
trinque: they can knock down
a few buildings at best
trinque: you know, I find it sensible that he's focusing on Mexico as
a threat rather than something like ISIS
phf: ascii_field: i've tried reproducing the leak, but so far it looks like so according to my small test, mapTransactions.clear() should just work.
http://glyf.org/tmp/foo.cpp.html there's
a bunch of copy allocations that get cleaned up, but you'll notice when foo.clear() is called that picks up the leftover objects.
punkman: "In 2009 four former AAU admissions staffers filed
a whistle-blower suit in federal district court in Oakland, claiming the school had illegally adjusted recruiters’ pay based on the number of students they enrolled. AAU, which declined to comment on the lawsuit, said in court filings that the compensation scheme was then legal under
a “safe harbor” loophole because it also considered qualitative factors."
ascii_field: the ancient maxim, as retold by mircea_popescu, 'when hiring
a psychic, hire the cheapest'. but the expensive psychic is liable to walk over to the cheapest and shoot the poor fella
ascii_field: punkman: classic usg expose. 'let's pick on
a usgwot-marginal scamatron, deflect fire from the main ones'
trinque: punkman: it's
a filter; only the dumb pass through
punkman: "Academy of Art University" how is this
a name?
ascii_field: as i understand, 'satoshi' is nor
a moral authority, but
a shotgun authority. and that shotgun is still locked in the safe, rusting
trinque: well, wouldn't we all like
a signed message; however, the content is true in either case
assbot: Logged on 18-08-2015 23:58:35; assbot: Block number 370434. First block with
a version greater than 3 : Bitcoin ... (
http://bit.ly/1JpvtoU )
ascii_field: naggum had
a perfectly valid point re: cpp bearing much of the proximate blame for microshit code being what it is
phf: jurov: does c++ do
a magic cleanup on its fields, or you have to provide
a destructor that does things like if(field) delete field; ?
trinque: oh its
a monty python quote
mircea_popescu: <trinque> I feel happy! << sounds to me like
a cry for help. can we do anything for the gent today ?
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> jurov: my point was that cpp allows considerable variance between what is printed on the page and what the code actually generated is. << to make it plain ; just because c let you push her into
a corner once or twice (provided you bring sweets) doesn't mean they're not sluts mmkay ?
jurov: trinque seeing the code i think it just copies your "
a" object multiple times
ascii_field: now try getting similarly compact description in
a cpp proggy re: e.g., the map issue.
ascii_field: and when
a situation like this does come up,
a civilized compiler (there is ONLY ONE known, gcc) ~will~ give you useful info re: types
ascii_field: 'c', like
a mule, will plod along and do
a very predictable thing. cpp is like
a gigantic sack of cockroaches
phf: look, c++, i'm trying to investigate
a specific issue, not travel down your rabbit hole of insanity
ascii_field: this is not ~strictly~ necessary -
a professional exterminator (paid, as in orlov) can do his thing without emotion
chetty: you know its
a waste of energy to hate on usg
mircea_popescu: like the difference between
a) linkspamming google and b)
a bunch of "infoproducts" on "make money while you sleep" having been sold to the retard forums.
mircea_popescu: it's
a very specific thing when
a large body of idiots finally implements something for the idiots to do.
mircea_popescu: and on
a broader point ; post snowden, seems the usg added
a new thing to their manual.
mircea_popescu: yeah, who is that twerp again ? seems
a rehash o\f the entire "twobitidiot" hangout.
mircea_popescu: in the end, it was not the ai lab and lisp that provided the best approximation of
a computer companion.
assbot: Logged on 19-08-2015 17:09:51; phf: <ascii_field> invalidates the iterator << wouldn't that just leave
a map full of pointers to free'd memory, why would delete on an instance touch the container?
ascii_field: phf: try it. you get
a segfault on the second free
phf: <ascii_field> invalidates the iterator << wouldn't that just leave
a map full of pointers to free'd memory, why would delete on an instance touch the container?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: your window experiment is perhaps the worstly conducted experiment in the history of b-
a.
mats: oh. well, she asked another employee for help, so i'm almost 100% sure it wasn't
a play.
mircea_popescu: but yes, re the smarts bit : what distinguishes an agent undercover in shit from
a housewife made out of straight shit, is that the former has, however tenuous, however rare,
a place to speak the truth straight. radically so, as the case may be.
ascii_field: but no, the sc4mz0rz will reconvene under
a new flag and run another usg-funded scam
ascii_field: now if only they were running
a reactor, or
a military engagement, and were now dead
assbot: Logged on 19-08-2015 16:14:37; mircea_popescu: not
a word about how the company in question lied to an' defrauded its "customers". not like they're about to tar and feather bitlove llc or etc.
mircea_popescu: how was that ancient observation, "i know how to make
a better garbage collector..." ?
ascii_field: phf: that was actually my first try. it explodes in
a fireball.
mats: incidentally, in cambridge, MA, at
a farmer's market
mats: there was
a chick who looked 17 that took 5-10s to figure out $10-3.50=6.50 wtf is goin on here
mircea_popescu: anyway, she's clearly as dumb as that polyanna chick, or as boiled frogs, whichever you prefer. she looks like
a marginal stripper at best. so yes, given her meagre assets, certainly living the soccer mom life of
a wife of some usg twerp is much better than living the stripper life of her mates.
mircea_popescu:
a terrabyte's not expensive or anything. on the other hand, i'm sure i could burn an infinite amount of resources feeding the idle internet twerps.
mircea_popescu: "Hey, I know you're trying to make
a point and all, but do you mind removing me from the list?" then, now AND 4EVAR!!11
mircea_popescu: not
a word about how the company in question lied to an' defrauded its "customers". not like they're about to tar and feather bitlove llc or etc.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: well apparently you're missing
a fundamental life experience that's integral to understanding
a swathe of humor!
jborkl: it chills for
a little bit, like all is good
mircea_popescu: punkman ever see
a chicken get in
a terrible wood saw accident, resulting in
a bloodied half body strutting around as if nothing happened ?
mircea_popescu: bitcoin sorely needs something like
a humor outleta comic. something.
phf: but then
a stackoverflow answer says that std::map doesn't manage, and require for(...) delete iter->second;
assbot: Logged on 19-08-2015 08:38:36; mircea_popescu: ftr they have been available for
a week or so.
assbot: Logged on 19-08-2015 14:34:40; thestringpuller: ah. it's
a first step to mempool filtering once boost actually jettison's and poops the unwanted data, freeing memory.
assbot: Logged on 19-08-2015 14:30:26; mats:
a guy i know had this fun fact: You can bypass mmap_min_addr on Linux via iopl. You basically need root, but even root is not supposed to be able to do that.

☟︎ assbot: Logged on 12-08-2015 21:41:42; ascii_field: 'nstead,
a file called "wpbbin.exe" was placed in C:\windows\system32 and executed. That turns out to be
a method Microsoft introduced with Windows 8 to allow the BIOS to execute code on boot up (!?!) called "Windows Platform Binary Table (WPBT)". I can find almost NOTHING about this anywhere on the internet except
a single document on Microsoft's website (link to the Google Cache since it's
a .docx fil
assbot: You rated user mircea_popescu on 03-Dec-2014, with
a rating of 1, and supplied these additional notes: trilema credits.
mircea_popescu: memory fails me. but i'm sure nobody on twitter is nevertheless
a major force in things and such.
pete_dushenski: "Many of the newcomers filing in on Mondays may not be there in
a few years. The company’s winners dream up innovations that they roll out to
a quarter-billion customers and accrue small fortunes in soaring stock. Losers leave or are fired in annual cullings of the staff — “purposeful Darwinism,”"
pete_dushenski: mike_c: looks like it's been
a full year since
a tweet outta 'coinion;
mircea_popescu: punkman amusingly, reviewing the (little) record from the 1700s, what the turks wanted from turkish part of romania was :
a) sheep ; b) women.
a distant 3rd, wax and honey.
pete_dushenski: bi "
A bitcoin civil war is threatening to tear the digital currency in two"
mircea_popescu: i kinda have
a lulz reading the stuff now and again, but yeah, too much can readily bristle one.
punkman: Vox: "Bitcoin is on the verge of
a constitutional crisis"
mircea_popescu: mike_c how is osama
a terrorist and obama
a peace prize winner ?
mircea_popescu: if only bitfinex was worth twoi shits, and the planned price movement caught on, and all the alt-articles they tabled could have been published. aww what
a glorious day could have been.
mike_c: this terminology.. how is yet another altcoin
a hard fork
punkman: "BitBeat: Bitcoin’s Noisy Size Debate Reaches
a Hard Fork" some hilarious titles
mircea_popescu: "chief scientist of
a fraudulent foundation run by some people we've still, somehow, magically, not gotten around to investigating. hurr."
mircea_popescu recalls how excited they were over this,
a year ago. almost looked like it's
a thing that matters, to hear them talk.
cazalla: ;;later tell bitstein ofn, i published an article on that like
a month ago, not sure why it is back in the news cycle again
mircea_popescu: punkman and they're derping about for
a few weeks while people can get
a few hundreds out so the poor people can slowly leech their accounts during the interval.
mircea_popescu: meaning that if you had
a 1mn euro loan, and
a 1mn euro bank deposit, you just lost enough to buy twelve houses.
brg444: Done, wait
a few I guess?
pete_dushenski: brg444: look for 'send to keyserver' if you're using
a gui app.
