decimation: if a multicore machine, no reason why not a single io controller and multiple checker threads
asciilifeform: this is only even theoretically usable for own code if you have a ~real~ (that is, amd, and 'coreboot'able) machine
decimation: why not a fixed amount of heap?
decimation: I also found a utility called 'pipe viewer' (pv) that rate-limits pipes - handy for both of the above tools
asciilifeform: ^ if this is not a memory leak, then i fart toyotas. ☟︎
asciilifeform: http://nosuchlabs.com/stats << tank is empty and is to be refilled this weekend. anyone who wants to test a key - now's the time.
kakobrekla: example: i dont know exactly what consciousness is, but i am not going to go believing santa didit and act like a psychopath in that name.
decimation: kakobrekla: why are religious people any more ill for holding a conviction about the supernatural than atheists - who hold similar convictions?
decimation: danielpbarron: what does a 'practitioner of modern judaism' do exactly? like, they know they torah and tanakh but are too cool to follow them? ☟︎
kakobrekla: I think it is wrong to ban a person just because they hold different beliefs. < this doesnt make much sense , but > I think it is wrong to ban a person just because are sick. < does. ☟︎
danielpbarron: particularly one of the other regulars there, a practitioner of modern judaism
danielpbarron: there was a channel on efnet i used to hang out in way back when i was still atheist
shinohai: danielpbarron: I think it is wrong to ban a person just because they hold different beliefs. I have plenty of Xstian friends.
danielpbarron: well the fact that i'm not banned from here yet is a good sign for you guys
davout: "Those who believe there is a difference between nirvana and samsara, are already in samsara"
shinohai: Not sure if my pal pussyfreak is here, but he is a Java developer. I hate Java, but I haven't tried to kill him or tell him he is going to fry if he doesn't use Python instead. ☟︎
shinohai: Because Jesus was obviously a homophobic, racist, bigot right?
danielpbarron: i recently told a friend's 5 year old son that anyone who tries to tell him about santa is a liar
shinohai: To me, it was a relief to say "idgaf" about it all anymore.
shinohai: I'm not interested in being a pawn in some celestial chess match, tbh.
jurov: A new commandment I give upon thee: lean back and enjoy!
jurov: so everything is just a big puppet show?
danielpbarron: satan is not nearly as big of a deal as most people are lead to believe
shinohai: If there *is* a God jurov, I'd like to think he chooses you, instead of vice-versa. I know all the "free will" speeches. ☟︎
jurov: if you are convinced that you're despicable scum and choose a faith that says so.. then you cherrypicked too
jurov: shinohai how can you ever choose a faith otherwise?
shinohai: I believe if you are going to follow a faith, you can't just pick and choose the parts that sound cherry to you.
kakobrekla: nah, the correct observation would be that religion is a virus and religious people ill. ☟︎
danielpbarron: and that is a correct observation
shinohai: Same with me with this cross-compilation shit. I just got to take a breather and keep researching, eventually I'll get it.
cazalla: ;;later tell mike_c a belated grats on the birth of your daughter
cazalla: thanks BingoBoingo, so nice to finally sit down on a friday arvo
BingoBoingo not sure preformance boost would be enough to make a difference
BingoBoingo: decimation: He would give a fuck. I have to imagine one hunts lions in part for the danger.
decimation: nobody would give a fuck
BingoBoingo: I actually didn't know he used a bow until minutes ago. I thought he would have used one of those exotic African calibers .300-.460 with a name attached like Weatherby or Tyranosaurus. I am impressed.
BingoBoingo: Also note Reuters includes that the dentist used a bow and arrow.
punkman: "One of the first things I did after installing OpenBSD back in the day was set up a 6bone tunnel and ping6 all three other IPv6 sites out there. I was living in the future. Fifteen years later, and well... Fuck IPv6."
BingoBoingo: Some lols http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/from-distribution-to-project << "NetBSD changed its name to OpenBSD to reflect a new focus on desktop computing."
assbot: Cecil the Lion is a Pretext for Expanding Extraterritoriality of US Law | Qntra ... ( http://bit.ly/1M0HBNi )
BingoBoingo: Oh, a new qntra critic http://qntra.net/2015/07/cecil-the-lion-is-a-pretext-for-expanding-extraterritoriality-of-us-law/#comment-36023
asciilifeform: e photographed, and since I once had to lend him 150 bolivars, I sort of blackmailed him, I asked him to get a picture of him to send it to my family. He was shorter than I was. When I found the picture I decided to speak, otherwise it was useless for me to say I had known Majorana.”'
asciilifeform: ked like a prince. I sometimes told him “What the hell do you live for ? You are always sad”. He said he worked, we dined together, then he would disappear for 10-15 days. He had a yellow Studebacker. He only paid for the gas, otherwise he looked always penniless. Sometimes I used to tell him “You care so much for this car and have all these papers”. These were sheets with numbers and commas, bars. He never wanted to b
asciilifeform: r, few and wavy. The white hair of a man who was once black-haired. One could see it from the fact that he wore his watch over his shirt, so to wash his hands he opened his sleeves and black hair could be seen. He was shy, often silent, and if you invited him to a night club he wouldn’t come. He might have been 50-55 years old. He had a roman accent but one could see he was not. One could also see he was well-learned. He loo
asciilifeform: 'I left to Venezuela because of disagreements with my father in April 1955. Once in Caracas, I went to Valencia with Ciro, a Sicilian friend, who presented me to a Mr. Bini. I connected Bini to Majorana thanks to Carlo, an Argentinian. He said “Do you realize who that guy is ? He’s a scientist. He’s got a brain you can’t imagine. He is mr. Majorana”. They had met in Argentina. He was of average height, with white hai
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu << i had no idea that there even was a 'majorana ran off to ar' theory! >> http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2015/05/the-physicist-who-vanished-the-strange-fate-of-ettore-majorana
asciilifeform: iirc it was a snowdenism
asciilifeform: 'Last September, investigators discovered that Ciccolo allegedly wanted to travel overseas to fight for ISIS, according to court documents recently unsealed. Then, Ciccolo began speaking with someone whom he didn't realize was an undercover operative. On July 3, the FBI watched him buy a pressure cooker from a Walmart in North Adams, Massachusetts.'
asciilifeform: a little booth, in which one can enlist in the army; but it was 1) directly in the very centre of time square 2) fenced off, and guarded by police, no one could go in!
asciilifeform: the item in the photo is a very peculiar building which i recently saw in nyc
asciilifeform: the ancients, must note, had a much easier job of it.
asciilifeform: the total war against honest history is a specifically 20th c. thing (if we discount chinese and egyptian monarchs who were deeply into rewriting the books) ☟︎
decimation: now, I do think usg has a real problem with its 'secret services' running amock, making a mess of things, and generally being completely untransparent to anybody ☟︎
mats: what a shit sysadmin
decimation: he's either a very good actor or he was earnest
BingoBoingo: Of course ascii could be right and derpy reddit Snowden could be a stage actor
decimation: yeah that's a pretty likely theory
BingoBoingo: decimation: I lean towards Snowden being a derpy redditor with an opportunity who happened to steal the powerpoints because... reddit
decimation: he might have had a pretty good case (that he was a whistleblower) if all he released was the verizon court order for all the metadata
mats: I agree its most likely he's just a dumbass
decimation: either he was a brilliant ru spy, or he was a self-appointed reddit internet policeman ☟︎
decimation: I don't buy into this conspiracy theory stuff. a much more consistant theory is that he didn't know wtf he was talking about
BingoBoingo: I mean the connection mean I've basically self doxxed, but my slave name may actually be a less common string than the IRC nick.
coderwill: Ah, thanks for the background - that's really interesting. I myself am thinking about a new project, and was wondering if in this day and age it is a disadvantage to attach a real-life identify to the Internet. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: coderwill: I came this channel all cautious like because I was afraid of making a fool out of myself. Eventually I had used this nick long enough I identify as this more than I do as my USG imposed slave name.
coderwill: BingoBoingo: Not to change the topic, but have been wondering something, if you don't mind me asking - do you write under your alias as opposed to a real name for any particular reason?
BingoBoingo: Well, they will probably keep humans at the cash register to provide a surface for customers to direct anger at. ☟︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: So long as McDonalds has few corporate stores they have to staff and having staff at all is largely a franchisee problem McDonalds will automate for consistency (i.e. robogrill) instead of doing so to purely reduce labor. ☟︎
decimation: https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/07/30/yes-my-teenage-son-is-transgender-no-you-may-not-ask-about-his-genitals/?hpid=z9 < lol new low for wapo "When others ask me whether or not my son has a vagina, and they actually do ask, I feel violated and disrespected. Transgender people are human. "
decimation: BingoBoingo: and those machines don't exist because mcdonald's would face a shitstorm if it went 'full coke machine'
decimation: asciilifeform: I don't know if you have been to a starbucks recently, but they converted over to 'fully automatic' espresso machines - with milk dispenser!
asciilifeform: i.e. if you built it and it ended up sitting down in /home/luser/a/b/d/e/f/g/p/q/r/s, it will stay there. or rebuild WHOLE THING again. ☟︎
asciilifeform: (to a first approximation, 'famous in usg media' ======= usg tool)
asciilifeform: because he's a usg tool ?
shinohai: I dunno why I feel such distaste fr Julian Assange, I have never been able to put a finger on it.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: given as the whole purpose of elbrus, to the extent it had one, is to be a non-nato computer
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: began, then workload ate my free time for a bit, but it's still in my stack
BingoBoingo: 0.5.3 isn't much different from 0.7.2 really a lot of overlap. Mostly just more loc, but not too many differences yet in the ones they share. Most of the wild differences and cpp-isms enter in 0.8 and 0.9 and beyond
BingoBoingo: Head has plenty of space. I drink to clear up plenty of useful space in head. Anyways chopping away on system I choose to depend on that no one else uses provides a serious incentive to not fuck up.
BingoBoingo: It is hard to say what anyone counts on. It is also hard to say how well I actually understand the cpp I attempt a performance of reading. And so Imma keep chopping at this for a while to get more familiar with the code. main.cpp is already ~1000 loc shorter than 0.7.2 release, perhaps more. I figure Derp on 0.7, read 0.5.x and patches and maybe at some point I will understand

asciilifeform: (except possibly for me, i moved my personal flagship to my bleeding tree; but i'm not a serious user of bitcoin)

assbot: Logged on 30-07-2015 01:58:03; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-07-2015#1217301 << the legal precedent is that if you're thye sort of guy that solves his own poroblems rather than seek the help of the state, you're a self-radicalizing terrorists and general wesley snipes of nato wants you in treblinka
decimation: I suppose I don't see a difference between analog and digital communication, even in principle
decimation: but at any rate, you can experiment yourself, dump large quantities of data from one machine to another. you will find a non-zero error rate eventually
jurov: decimation: since you like to split hairs, does, say, does the noise distribution in your internet connection have a value you can use in shannon's theorem?
assbot: Logged on 13-04-2014 22:27:18; asciilifeform: the 'a) wanna buy strela? b) fuck off c) really, dontcha? b) ok sure c) off to jail' thing has been going so long that it doesn't even make national news every time now.
ascii_field: and has a spiffy long grey beard.
assbot: A Guide To Buying 5000 Ether/Bitcoin, 2.5x More Than Ethereum’s Genesis Sale Offers | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1LTGPjz )
pete_dushenski: http://www.contravex.com/2014/07/23/a-guide-to-buying-5000-ether-bitcoin-2-5x-more-than-ethereums-genesis-sale/ << obligatory
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu you'd be an even older old man by the time you went through a billion eth
pete_dushenski: let's see, at 8 btc a day...
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-07-2015#1218686 << obvious;ly thewir derpy web2.0 site doesn't load here. how much actual BTC could i get by shorting a billion eth atm, provided of course there were an actual market for the thing which behaved like a market and so i could do this ? ☝︎
ascii_field: phf: more of a 'written in proprietary turdlang'
ascii_field: phf: c++ on x86 will be a turd, yes
phf: ascii_field: i'm having hard time understanding your point then. c++ on a von neumann machine leaks by protocol, so we either write against the guarantees of the underlying machine or not at all?
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: You most likely used a spammy word combo. Or you lost your automatic approval browser cookie since your last comment.
phf: ascii_field: there's a lot of leaky abstractions in the current codebase, starting with "string" and "bignum". presumably the solution for those will be to port bitcoind to an architecture with tagged memory?
pete_dushenski: because kako's a socialist
