phf: ascii_field: autorotators exist because people don't know how to syslog mostly. i.e. you build
a syslog demon based on the constraints of your system, i.e. on pogo might just be busybox's syslog, that does rudimentary truncation. elsewhere syslog writes to postgresql or whatever
trinque: what about
a signal for it to close and reopen the log, and then people can do whatever they please outside it?
phf: but i think the easiest option is to adopt syslog interface (since they already have
a reasonable list of priority tags), make it go to debug.log by default, and then interested parties can just do #define log syslog
punkman: I just added
a -shrinkdebug option
punkman: punkman: the change from calling snprintf to calling my_snprintf << there was
a "#define snprintf my_snprintf" before, which I removed
mod6: punkman: also, there is
a commandline option for -logtimestamps so maybe just leave fLogTimestamps = false;
mod6: punkman: the change from calling snprintf to calling my_snprintf (which inturn calls vsnprintf) might be
a good change. but unless we know why we're doing it, maybe we should just leave that alone.
jurov: wanted to use snprintf in
a win school project, had to call it as _snprintf
mod6: i have no idea why (as
a lot of things in this code) this is done: btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/util.h#0080
mod6: might be better to use `diff -uNr
a b` on your changes as opposed to `git --diff` too.
mod6: punkman: yeah, sure. i'll take
a closer look at it here in just
a bit. that work?
punkman: mod6, when you have
a moment, could you have
a look at my_snprintf, strprintf and error() in util.cpp? do we need all that?
mod6: there alredy was one there. i can add
a new one, but then ofc your sha1 wont match. no worries, will try.
punkman: mod6: try adding
a newline at end of .patch file
punkman: it's still
a mess, will need debug_sanity_part2.patch
nubbins`: that's what happens when you let
a 12yo run
a business
jurov: what
a flashback to rg times "nm, phriend pays" :)
assbot: Logged on 13-07-2015 06:30:15; mthreat: I just found out the search.b-
a server is down until my friend pays the bill. sorry, search won't work until then.
BingoBoingo: There's just
a huge disconnect between how people expect their mail client to behave and how they actually do
punkman: well if it doesn't reject files that don't match .sig, I could just put them in
a tar.gz
punkman: I think something stripped
a newline at eof
mircea_popescu: when did this become
a discursive style anyway, "general statement, unsubstantiated claim, restatement of general statement, restatement of unsubstantiated claim, second restatement of general statement, second restatement of unsubstantiated claim, and then move into "we" territory.
BingoBoingo: punkman: So now that there's
a deal do you want to write up Greece again?
mircea_popescu: It is clear to me that I, Richard Garriott, am an essential ingredient of at least the Ultimate Ultima, if not more broadly the Ultimate RPG. Perhaps one day, now that the people who pushed me out of EA more than
a decade ago are long since gone, EA will recognize that together, we could rebuild that franchise in
a way that they have failed to do in the intervening years. Richard Garriott is an essential ingredient in
mircea_popescu: "Since I am no longer at the helm of UO, let’s look at where it has gone in my absence. Elves and ninjas have been added into the game, things I specifically had banned. This is only
a small example of why and how Ultima has drifted away from Richard Garriott, but I have not drifted away from Ultima. Overused, irrelevant & reused RPG elements are not the essence of my Ultimate RPG.
mircea_popescu: the eternal dilemma of the margins : self owned by the local idiots ? or by
a distant, thus disinterested if actually competent empire.
mircea_popescu: what's
a thousand sq ft in downtown athens go for these days ?
mircea_popescu: much like idiot couples that "can't stand each other" to hear them talk, but then go have bad sex twice
a week.
mircea_popescu: aren't these the same banks that stole 90% of cypriot funds
a coupla years ago ? what trust.
punkman: which is
a good thing of course
mthreat: I'm going to move it to
a different server soon to avoid this problem.
mthreat: I just found out the search.b-
a server is down until my friend pays the bill. sorry, search won't work until then.
☟︎ cazalla: PeterL, hey congrats! missus and i banged it out
a few times last month trying for another.. find out if it took this week
PeterL: well, the army is the biggest item in the budget, so if you want to make
a dent it is the obvious place to start
mats: this reduction in force has been planned for
a decade
PeterL: Perhaps the hope is that instead of
a long decline, people will have
a strong life until they suddenly drop dead at the end?
PeterL: re American Manufacturing thread earlier, as one who works in
a US manufacturing plant, I feel like I have to point out that not all US manufacturing is shit, and my job is to make sure of that
mod6: it wasn't quite as bad back then. there was still
a lot of people crossing the border in the area -- especially across the tohono o'odham resvervation boarder. there the tribe refuses to enforce the boarder because they claim that for thousands of years, there was no boarder.
ag3nt_zer0: yeah sure... having been to yosemite
a few times recently and being so struck by the beauty I don't really dig the story - not to mention the mass media blackouts on the issue
decimation: "Meanwhile,
a highly critical Interior Department report says that the department's law enforcement program is in disarray, and that the Park Service suffers from extreme organizational dysfunction. "
ag3nt_zer0: " "Our budget isn't considered part of homeland defense, so it wasn't
a priority," Thompson said, as he drove past the 20-foot (6-meter) hole in the border fence that Eggle's killer drove through. "But how long will it be until someone figures out that you could easily drive
a semi-truck with
a nuclear device through here?"
mircea_popescu: Are you in need of
a loan or Investment funding ? if yes contact Jimmy Lien(Broker)
punkman: "Predictions from the model suggest that solar activity will fall by 60 per cent during the 2030s" doesn't sound like
a good time to be settling in northern latitudes
decimation: related:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/07/150709092955.htm "
A new model of the Sun's solar cycle is producing unprecedentedly accurate predictions of irregularities within the Sun's 11-year heartbeat. The model draws on dynamo effects in two layers of the Sun, one close to the surface and one deep within its convection zone. Predictions from the model suggest that solar activity will fall by 60 per cent during the 2030s to
decimation: was that
a 'cloud mining' business that has gone 'full scam'?
mircea_popescu: punkman "let's put the blockchain into such
a state it's no longer
a blochcain"
ben_vulpes: $bizpartner is going to shoop us around in
a fiberglass meattube
pete_dushenski: once in
a while they realize that there's no ground under their feet.
ascii_modem: back to the mexican fella - in
a very important sense he is more dependent on usg staying in business than
a u.s. post office director
pete_dushenski: speaking of which : "Mexico's most notorious drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman broke out of
a high security prison on Saturday night for the second time, escaping in
a tunnel built right under his cell"
mircea_popescu: first mexican beheading,
a woman. not empowering enough for the derpstablishment ?
mircea_popescu: how is such
a great story not in hollywood i wish to know.
mircea_popescu: this was
a woman, married, with children. to
a drug cartel boss. whose enemies sent
a slick kid to seduce her, which the kid did. and he convinced her to withdraw millions of $ from her husband's secret stashes in the us
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski you gotta appreciate, at least at the time, being romanian was, to romanians, mostly
a derogation.
mircea_popescu: so then when i wanted to meet them she arranged
a meeting and they were liek "oh, he's definitely not romanian"
mircea_popescu: best anecdote to illustrate this being, of course, that i had
a (us born) woman over, many years ago, and she made some local friends (clueless kids all excioted about this english speaking american woman that knows computers and with nary an idea about the world around them)
ascii_modem: except that two continents still largely run on what he built 'at
a loss'
mircea_popescu: "i'm making
a loss on every sale but hope to make it up on volume" ?
mircea_popescu: turning
a broken system into an extensive broken system does not fix the system.
mircea_popescu: i suppose i'm not putting enough explicit into this which i know from experience but perhaps alone. there is this thing that happens to
a slave, when she's naked
ascii_modem: can automate the punishment
a la cokemachine
mircea_popescu: goes right into the discussion re monetary incentives
a week or two ago.
mircea_popescu: it may very well turn out that bitcoin is
a case of wishful thinking, entirely being powered by the illusion that we've managed to "get free energy" for as long as this illusion that "miners can be centrally verifying in
a decentralizewd manner" lasts.
mircea_popescu: there fundamentally can not be
a way to organize mining that's not centralizing, BECAUSE mining is going to have to follow the same rules, as that's what it does for bitcoin : checks them.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: so you see
a way to reinvigorate the middle ?
mircea_popescu: it was slowly nursed over half
a decade by the above unfortunate centralizing force.
mircea_popescu: the way this works is : if you're any good as
a miner, you're going to have your own infrastructure. you might keep the pool closed,
mircea_popescu: the broader problem is that the way mining works is very much discouraging middle, which is
a serious problem, as death of the middle class always precedes centralization.
