solrodar: although Chrome seems to have
a minimum font size causing the labels to overflow the boxes when zoomed out too far
jurov: mats: was just an idea, it never worked out price-wise. Same for using
a small SSD designated as cache.
assbot: This little kit has everything I need to run
a full node. Ordered it on purse.io yesterday, got it today. Total $89.34 (saved 22%!) : Bitcoin ... (
http://bit.ly/1S5Qwkh )
mircea_popescu: or is this the side of the bureaucracy that's not
a stickler for detail.
mats: does WoW count as
a '3d mmorpg'? I've seen
a few (unsanctioned) chat clients for it
mircea_popescu: afaik this would be the first ever case of
a 3d mmorpg with
a text client
mircea_popescu: anyway, diana_coman has been doing some work on making
a client api, might be useful stepping stone.
punkman: "For TCP/IP, the tool fingerprints the client-originating SYN packet and the first SYN+ACK response from the server, paying attention to factors such as the ordering of TCP options, the relation between maximum segment size and window size, the progression of TCP timestamps, and the state of about
a dozen possible implementation quirks (e.g. non-zero values in "must be zero" fields)."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the part where they make wildly improbable claims (ex : purely passive traffic fingerprinting mechanisms to identify the players behind any incidental TCP/IP communications (often as little as
a single normal SYN) without interfering in any way.) but then mishmashingly backtrack on it (this release candidate still has
a relatively small database of fingerprints) and so on
mircea_popescu: be that as it may, "this is
a magical brothel where the girls extend ectoplasm cunts and satisfactorily reach your very soul. wanna see it in action ? sure, here : ***not working atm***".
mircea_popescu: i dunno, to me it looks perfectly not credible, but then again i'm
a toxic asshole.
mircea_popescu: Not all capabilities of p0f can be showcased here, and as noted, this release candidate still has
a relatively small database of fingerprints. That said, here's the most recent positive match p0f has for your IP:
mircea_popescu: "from its own point of view,
a bug always conquers all boots."
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell gabriel_laddel youtube decided to do some "upgrade" or other and as
a result it no longer works. sorry.
gabriel_laddel: "...
a magnificent job. I have never seen
a language description that is more complete or more precise, yet each chapter is throughly enjoyable and subtly witty. The book is absolutely indispensable for all serious LISP students and users; its high quality is
a major reason why Common LISP is *the* LISP of the future" - Patrick Henry Winston
gabriel_laddel: Yep. Him and many others. One rubyist had
a particularly entertaining one where he complained about Naggum (who had already passed) being "toxic for the community".
gabriel_laddel: I can't wait for the inevitable blog post about how "CL isn't really all that good" and "the language has serious problems and
a lack of tooling"
assbot: Logged on 26-07-2015 22:16:44; ben_vulpes: the "async" cl webserver the nodebros are banging on about blocks the repl when instantiated in
a cl-async 'event loop', unlike how hunchentoot starts
a server and then returns on threaded sbcl.

☟︎ gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: No one ever gets called to extend
a program's feature-set? Nonsense.
gabriel_laddel: I've
a list of programmers included in the "info" tab of the program I wrote for work. The idea being that if I"m not around and something goes wrong, they contact one of these people. Let me know if you want to be on that list.
trinque: and isn't this exactly what happens any time someone tries to make
a "declarative" language
trinque: in other news, I think the db project I've described was us inventing
a shittier metaobject protocol in SQL
wywialm: perhaps I misunderstood you, but I read that you plan to design
a sane os and (in other blog posts) pointed to opengenera as an example of such system
mircea_popescu: but making packages that purport to be equivalent and then miss parts seems
a bit cosmic ray-y
mircea_popescu: am i correct in reading between the lines of hanbot's efforts that in point of fact someone carefully packaged
a debian/ubuntu "equivalent" of the gcc package that allows static linking which in point of fact and quite pointedly DOES NOT allow static linking ?
trinque: far from impossible, yet cost is too damn high for me not to lose interest by the time I'm squirting JS at
a browser from emacs
trinque: jurov: lets say I like this particular web site's regex tester, and I want that in
a particular spot each time I am editing
a regex in emacs
trinque: and I will never release summon, because it's
a piece of shit
trinque: wrote
a shitty tool called summon which can launch things, arrange them, switch between layouts, so on
trinque: not everything; the layer commonly referred to as the user interface should be
a programming interface
trinque: the utter lack of programmability (automator? lol, fuck off) shows they did not even consider how
a thinking person would use the thing
trinque: I think he saw
a computer as an appliance
trinque: come on, lets get asciilifeform
a turtleneck
trinque: imagine if he'd been mean and understood
a computer at the same time
mircea_popescu: "how obama made sense in english" "how putin doesn't understand how the world works" "how
a bored housewife discovered the secret barbers hate"
mircea_popescu: shinohai yeah, it ruins the polymer, you end up with
a milky white, brittle thing
pete_dushenski: "we've forgotten how two women from California ran
a firm that pioneered influential practices such as attention to product aesthetics, vertical integration (Vector has its own in-house software developers), and establishing training networks, providing packaged PC solutions, and treating employees like an extended family. Some of what Vector pioneered is now intertwined into the tech industry's DNA. Thanks to V
mircea_popescu: speaking of condoms... for many years, i was using imported magnums. broke like...i dunno, twenty over
a decade ? easily 1%.
☟︎ trinque: the difference seemed to address
a need I have for picking the damn thing up, breaking it, so on, to understand fully
pete_dushenski: i didn't get the 'emoji' tie-in till i just tried searching for images
a minute ago.
pete_dushenski: i honestly thought it was just
a response to coke's bizarrely succesful 'names' campaign
jurov wonders what warning/pictogram would alf put to
a code actually controlling
a thermonuclear device
shinohai: I inherited one from my grandmother, wouldn't take
a bzillion dollars for it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i meant "still there" in
a more abstract sense. yes there's not currently hay supplies and horse barns. but if need be - they can be.
mircea_popescu: or i suppose for the same reason i'd visit
a viking boat.
mircea_popescu: and the only reason i'd go to
a movie theatre is to get
a public blowjob.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-07-2015#1213025 << it never left, you know. it's still here. if you're willing to take z80 as "state of the art", the whole shebang is still here. problem is you want
a different state of the art, because we actually need it, because z80 mined bitcoin can't survive in the field. and so...
mircea_popescu: man has
a point. there has been NO inovation worth the mention, and no "HDTV" and stupid ass bootstrap don't count.
mircea_popescu: if the past two decades of rapidpace never happened, we'd be in
a much better position, not having to waste time trying to figure out how the fuck to even get static binaries made anymore.
mircea_popescu: "The software industry has turned into
a pyramid game because the government valuation strategies for software have penalized longevity. It has absolutely _nothing_ to do with the so-called "rapid pace" of the technological development. It isn't rapid and I'll dispute
a claim of general development, too. It's all about marketing old ideas in new and ever more shiny wrappings, and nobody does that better than Microso

mircea_popescu: "Instead of being
a guarantor of stability and long-term safety that each of us cannot build or even maintain on our own, policies in the information technology industries have turned into guarantors of instability and short-term profiteering, effectively betting the future on the fun we can have today,
a massive lottery where everybody loses, especially the guy who wins $25 million and discovers that everybody else ha

mircea_popescu: i personally knew my father was
a retard when i was about thirteen, and he threw
a fit insisting i "stop using tools for other purposes than they were made".
mircea_popescu: trhis is not even
a moral issue, or some sort of bullshiot about rights. this is the nudest, rudest self preservation at work. if you wish to force (and by allowing, you force) the knife maker to have opinions of knife usage, you have created the worst sort of socialist centrally commanded economy possible.
mircea_popescu: if i buy
a knife, I OWN THE KNIFE. and whether i use it fifty times or three, whether i am the most frequent user of the knife or least, whether i make most money from its usage opr least, this is entirely my business.
assbot: Logged on 26-07-2015 05:35:30; asciilifeform: the world of 1985, where there were
a thousand ~state-of-the-art~ chip fabs, under two+ separate civilizational systems, and running perhaps
a dozen ~entirely independently developed~ toolchains - isn't coming back
mircea_popescu: just like women gotta "be sluts" or else your paniced bipedal dog is too afraid of black holes to stick his wee wee into the right hole, just so microsoft must be there for
a hundred milion autistic schmucks to be even able to get out of bed i nthe morning.
mircea_popescu: they're not wasting anything, they're just giving
a bunch of fuctards the illusion that they actually belong here.
