ascii_field:
i would like 486 but not if
i have to set up the disk thing every time it turns on.
ascii_field: to finish the story,
i dug for data sheets for the 'ali' chipset found therein, in hopes of affixing something like a 'cmos battery' - and found, unsurprisingly, nothing
ascii_field: trinque: depends very much on whether you can distinguish genuinely valuable things from the kind of garbage
i was describing just now
ascii_field:
i bought a spiffy-looking fanless 486 box some weeks ago, for playing gamez
shinohai:
I just need to find a way to think around it.
trinque: of late
I collect two things; old computers/parts and PDFs
ascii_field: on account of amd's poor health,
i see x86 as being very soon dead to me entirely
trinque: yeah,
I'm thinking this would be a bitcoind dev/build box
trinque: ascii_field: yeah
I chose "pointed out" to keep from saying that's your recommended box
assbot: Logged on 19-06-2015 20:55:44; trinque: mod6: maybe;
I'd like to see a standard piece of hardware recommended at some point
shinohai:
I must add
I put Debian Jessie on that laptop in place of 8
trinque:
I might buy one of the pcengines machines ascii_field pointed out soon
shinohai:
I have a shitty laptop that came with Win8,
I wouldn't trade it for a Mac even if you added a few btc to the mix
trinque: mod6: maybe;
I'd like to see a standard piece of hardware recommended at some point
☟︎ mod6: but overall,
i agree.
mod6: <+trinque> no, that's precisely the right response <<
i wonder if its easier to just tell mac people to fire up a vm of linux/bsd and just use gpg inside of that?
shinohai:
I tried to help him but
I m hoplessly out of my element with other OS's no matter how hard
I try
trinque:
I'll happily lead a noob through using the proper tools, but wont bother with someone who refuses to use the proper tools
shinohai: gpgtools was what he was using.
I was drinking pernod and told him to fuck off and use linux basically
trinque: er no, "gpgtools" is the one
I had in mind
shinohai: @ thestringpuller
i had a pm from a guy using a mac last night using gpg on a mac (gui)
I couldn't help because
I know dick about macs.
thestringpuller:
I suspekt the second you put priv keys on a mac they go straight ot the secret iCloud.
mircea_popescu:
i suspect what they mean is, "someone with experience with crapple software that doesn't suck"
assbot: Logged on 18-06-2015 21:31:46; cazalla: ah
i think she's attractive, just has that mousy look.. no cocks either! maybe mp could learn a thing or two from you :P
ascii_field: as a boy,
i saw a '80s sov. film where a couple split up their possessions with gigantic laser
hazirafel_: comprehending machines,
i guess
i'm kidding
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
i specified 'coffee does not vary by order of magnitude'
mircea_popescu: ascii_field to round up what
i mean, class A are perhaps "the shooters in the dark". which means, they have an idea what they want, and programming [as taught] fails to satisfy [which is the fault of the teachers].
mircea_popescu: ascii_field incidentally,
i suspect the dataset there has a major flaw. to model it : two classes of brothel patrons. class A comes to reception, asks "do the girls here to X ?" ; class B comes to reception, asks "what can girls here do for me ?"
hazirafel_: mireca
i didn't get your comment about the kidz and the errors
hazirafel_:
i did this course where
i wrote in java for 30 hours a week,
i have no problem doing it, no pain, didn't love it, it was mildley fun . my problem was organization,
i expect it's much worse in C , but
i could see it as a motivation for thinking in a more organized way.
mircea_popescu: the advantage is that c++ grease doesn't irritate the skin. the disadvantage is that well... this thing has
i would estimate about 10 to 100x more moving parts than a car,
hazirafel_: in which
i mean, liking programming enough.
ascii_field: but in this case
i do not think it is unreasonable to ask kid to learn wtf programming even means, prior to writing 'doom'
hazirafel_: you have a point, if
i had the inclination into codeing needing to be block-chain literate
i would of be swimming in it by my age... maybe
assbot: Logged on 12-09-2014 15:39:53; asciilifeform: every time
i see the bed of nails
i think of the soviet caricature
mircea_popescu: "how do
i get the girl
i love ?" "get some sluts first"
mircea_popescu: and you'll notice
i never tell 'em that. it's a stupid thing to say.
mircea_popescu: which, and
i say from bitter experience, is just as large a task as making an os, and so... the largest class there is.
ascii_field: for some reason
i can't help but recall the kidz of 1990s who always began with 'where do
i learn to write a game like 'doom' ?'
assbot: Logged on 19-06-2015 19:21:25; hazirafel_: don't know if this is a good place to ask, but here ...
i'm code literate in java , and
i really want to learn to know my way around fiddling with blockchains and bitcoin,
i would love advice on places to start and where to get help and information.
i guess
i need to learn C first but
i'm looking for more advice. thanks!
ascii_field: when the muppets open up on one another,
i promise to wake up mircea_popescu. though it might have to be over spark-gap radio
mircea_popescu: which
i suspect is actually the result of just how broken school is these days.
trinque: davout: saw your feedback re: going through deeds by author. sounds great;
I'll try to find time for that
mircea_popescu: well yeah, but
i don't know you, and so
i have nfi what reference points to use, and so...
hazirafel_: ehh... complete learning C++ or bitcoin literate ? Ivy League doesn't mean shit necessarily, from the people
i've met
hazirafel_: yeah
i need to register. ok so you're saying learn c++ and read the source code?
hazirafel_: who am
i? :my name is sarah,
i live in the 'holy land' ,
i did some programming courses in collage but bitcoin actually motivates me to learn the nuts and bolts, was looking around the net, saw a recommendation of this cha
hazirafel_: ok cool.
i've been reading the developers guid
assbot: Logged on 18-06-2015 20:34:36; ascii_field: nubbins`: can then say '
i took 5ug and discovered proof of goldbach's conjecture' or '
i took 500 and learned that thirty-three is purple'
hazirafel_:
i forgot
i read that being nice on the internet makes people think you're stupid. any fucking help bit-assholes?
hazirafel_: don't know if this is a good place to ask, but here ...

☟︎ assbot: Logged on 18-06-2015 19:57:49; mats: all
i did was walk around naked
shinohai: Then once
I figure out how to produce these hallucinogenic effects at will in my mind,
I shall sell the secrets on Agora and dry it all up.
mircea_popescu: it'd be nice if the reference client provided this, however, what with thew "accounts" bullshit and etc in there,
i doubt it'll be this decade.
mod6: anyway,
I haven't had a chance yet to try out the pywallet.py thing myself; ascii_field lettuce know if it works for ya plz.
mod6: ascii_field tried last night to backport 'dumpprivkey' and 'importprivkey' from phoundation-0.7 and found that relevant data structures are entirely different << yeah,
i found the same thing back 5-6 months ago when trying to do the same thing. glad there seems to be a workaround,
i'm told.
menahem:
i'll def take some responsibility to fund that in the future.
menahem: oh
i posted a screenshot, lemme find it
wyrdmantis:
I was asked if there is a "defense" plan to "isolate" the Bitcoin XT nodes or something similar.
I thought this is a non-issue for you guys...
☟︎ kakobrekla:
i think its 0.1 per slot per month if you are interested
Naphex:
i want to place xotika ads, not the other way around :P
punkman: mats:
i'd suggest testing it yourself but nobody ever wants to actually buy msg <
I've bought a bag of msg, it's pretty great
mats:
i think
i'll have dim sum this weekend
mats:
i would not be able to identify msg as the culprit for the new flavor profile
cazalla: well
i'm assuming it was MSG but
i'm not a fan of it or overly salty shit and that's what it was
mats:
i'd suggest testing it yourself but nobody ever wants to actually buy msg
cazalla: yeah my missus and her friend were raving over this yum cha place but
i'd never go again, fkn msg on everything
mats:
i'd say its subtle rather than bland
cazalla: mats, not so much the texture but the taste.. it's just bland (or maybe
i've only ever had shitty tofu)
mats: you'll never be fooled into thinking its meat, but
i rather like meat substitutes for their flavors
cazalla: not sure
i'd eat that.. not a fan of tofu
cazalla: never had it but
i imagine it taste like prawn heads (love eating those after
i've mashed em to make stock for tom yum goong)
mats: there was a little crunch but
i think there was some other filler in there
mats:
i can't think of many things
i wouldn't try at least once
punkman:
I tried a frozen kangaroo steak,
I imagine a good quality piece won't be bad at all
cazalla:
i wish we had more kangeroo products on offer down under
mats:
i've heard a lot of varying things about it,
i might try bear again if offered
mats:
i dunno, my buddy is an outdoorsman and offered it to me
cazalla: what?! (yeah
i'd give it a try)
mats: although
i suspect it'd be a lot like eating bear
mats: no, but
i'd try it if offered
cazalla:
i'm sure mircea_popescu can explain the phenomenon
