asciilifeform: leaf must depend only on nonlenleaves.
asciilifeform: thing is, i realized a while back that a leaf depending on other leaves at all, is abuse of v
asciilifeform: realize, v was something that i was specifically only able to conceive of because i am working with cultured folks who can be relied upon to not shit in the kitchen. operating vtron will always require a good measure of intelligence, wisdom, restraint...
asciilifeform: there is no handy technopill against cycle
asciilifeform: for instance, and i warned of this from the beginning, v operators are trusted never to create cycles.
asciilifeform: my vtron was very much a battlefield wunderwaffen, adequate strictly for pressing a well-gardened trb tree that consisted 95% of asciilifeform
asciilifeform: this was clearly explained. then various folks tried to derive a means to auto sort leaves in some meaningful way
asciilifeform: well recall , my vtron was incomplete in the aspect where it assumed that any leaf was pressable per se
asciilifeform: because - potentially - 'what if goes in but never comes out' - or the like.
asciilifeform: what was lulzier was that apparently 'top seeekrit' apparatchiks are not permitted to attend such shows, at least without special dispensation from company chekist
asciilifeform is back from mega-expo at, among other places, ar embassy. very lulzy.
asciilifeform: Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) << if the submitter is to be believed !
asciilifeform: 'Standards bureaucracies like the Linux Foundation (which consumed the Free Standards Group in its' ever-growing accretion disk years ago) happily document and add to this sort of complexity without ever trying to understand why it was there in the first place. 'Ken and Dennis leaked their OS into the equivalent of home because an RK05 disk pack on the PDP-11 was too small" goes whoosh over their heads.'
asciilifeform: 'The /bin vs /usr/bin split (and all the others) is an artifact of this, a 1970's implementation detail that got carried forward for decades by bureaucrats who never question _why_ they're doing things. It stopped making any sense before Linux was ever invented, for multiple reasons...'
