Luke-Jr: decimation: this is why Bitcoin Core 0.8.0's bug was
a bug in 0.8.0 and not the (commonly used) older versions
trinque: gabriel_laddel: every web-app ever is just
a matter of bolting some table or view to
a ui component
Luke-Jr: decimation: Bitcoin's rules by nature are defined by the actual software people are using. If
a "spec" disagrees with those de facto rules, the "spec" is wrong.
trinque: becoming
a features katamari shitshow
☟︎ trinque: postgrest looked like it might have
a clue early on
Luke-Jr: decimation: because people might interpret it as
a spec
decimation: I mean
a spec that desribes the behaviour of the entire codebase
Luke-Jr: decimation: what? BIP 66 has been
a spec since January
gabriel_laddel: so you have
a few function calls that diddle the db and you're tying those to routes?
decimation: Luke-Jr: this whole line of action strikes me as backwards. why not produce
a spec before forcing changes from the de-facto standard?
trinque: haven't used the latter with anything mission critical; it was
a matter of evaluating it
trinque: got something out in the world that runs cl, talks to
a web api
gabriel_laddel: trinque: are you just playing around with hunchentoot, or writing
a production system?
gabriel_laddel:
a surprising amount of people simply want subordinates to order around
gabriel_laddel: I got serial ports comms working in
a *single line* of cl today.
trinque: I am still new enough to this to be having
a fantastic time.
trinque: gabriel_laddel: oh, lovely. write
a handler, c-x c-k, try it out, repeat
Luke-Jr: it's not
a human-made decision at all, it's just how things are
decimation: I get that, but it still seems like
a short period
decimation: 1000 blocks (1 week) seems like
a fairly small period to change things
trinque: Luke-Jr: blocks have
a version, do they not?
Luke-Jr: decimation: softforks require only
a majority of miners, not
a consensus.
trinque: deleted by some guy that edits
a lot of movie/tv pages, south park in particular.
trinque: it's somewhat interesting to note that wikipedia has
a german page on hunchentoot, but the english one was deleted.
decimation: "These families—by law—may not have
a father. Therefore, 15 years from that Wal-Mart going up, you will have
a full generation of violent, rootless, fatherless youth grown up with no sense of community, responsibility, or decency, who will instead be infused with
a sense of entitlement, righteous oppression, and slave class envy for you, the guy buying the house down the street as its value plummets. "
decimation:
http://www.jameslafond.com/article.php?id=2533 < "These employees will bring their families to the area. There will also be an influx of welfare families fleeing the city ahead of the drug gangs and predatory police along the bus lines set up at tax payer expense so that you can save 25 cents on
a dozen eggs, which requires some schlep to stock them in that upright cooler on
a wage that cannot support an automobile."
decimation: "Sanfilippo described Vincenzetti as
a very liberal person interested in protecting free speech, someone who saw cryptography as "
a means to protect communications." But over time, Vincenzetti's view evidently evolved to allow the security professional to found Hacking Team. "
☟︎ mod6: i like -verifyall as
a cmdline option!
mod6: <+ascii_field> mod6, ben_vulpes, mircea_popescu, et al: so far, no one has signed any of my patches... am i to conclude that nobody reads these things? << I've read them all (except the 2 you just posted, about to read here in
a moment) but I don't sign patches until release is prepared.
gernika: "Ellen Pao, the interim chief executive officer of Reddit, will be succeeded by Steve Huffman." << Met this guy (Steve Huffman) years ago at
a YC startup school event. Had
a brief discussion with him about lisp (don't recall the dialect he used).
☟︎ ascii_field: or is it that jurov doesn't have
a handy mechanical way to group these sigs together yet ?
mircea_popescu: www.metacafe.com/.../a_bronx_tale_1993_imitating_sonny_and_his_crew/ <<
assbot: Logged on 10-07-2015 20:21:42; ascii_field: my point is that if i, or mats, write to, e.g., saudi, offering ht work, will be laughed out of the room; and, since these twits don't believe in pgp, we'd get
a visit from gasenwagen the next day
ascii_field: notice, sometimes i have to try run
a mircea_popescu under emulation, when the real one is asleep
mircea_popescu: yeah. it's
a bitch - best way to handle staph aureus (guy on skin), but ototoxic
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell pete_dushenski "I’m not sure how this level of thrills compares with, say, Eulora" << disfavourably. 50% returns not that uncommon, but i just brought home 4200 grass on
a 2 axes + 400 threads run (like 220%).
trinque: jurov: "This is
a crazy story; one that seems like it must be
a conspiracy theory." << beatings for people who do this
mircea_popescu: "It was widely reported to take about 25 seconds for bitcoin core to process this block: this is far worse than my “2 seconds per MB” result in my last post, which was considered
a pretty bad case. Let’s look at why."
decimation: someone laid
a mega-fecolith into the blockchain
assbot: Logged on 15-07-2014 03:00:27; asciilifeform: one of my first job interviews out of uni. telephone.
a fellow from one of the giant gov. contractors was really intrigued that i know x86 asm., have reversed crud for money. i ask him 'what's the job'. he: automated reversing. me: of what. he: ever hear of karatsuba's algo? me: sure. bignum mult. him: well, we wanna find encryption softs on terrorist drives!
trinque: they're all morons acting out
a terrible show
trinque: ascii_field: I saw
a picture somewhere that drove it home
ascii_field: i'm not sure how
a compiler which produces
a 300KB 'hello world' and 800KB 'virus' could evoke anything but derisive laughter
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2015 16:36:33; mircea_popescu: it's not so much
a "i want those guys back" as it is "i want the situaiton where being 20 and into computers was more distinctive than any other thing - and you could spot
a govt mole from
a mile away"
ascii_field: my point is that if i, or mats, write to, e.g., saudi, offering ht work, will be laughed out of the room; and, since these twits don't believe in pgp, we'd get
a visit from gasenwagen the next day
☟︎ mats: rather than force you to forego the opportunity the op presents, or spend six months to
a year spinning up
mats: but if you're
a nation-state without access to the wot or
a skilled pool of devs
ascii_field: nothing really remarkable in the turd, just
a 'complete set'
trinque: ascii_field: heh some of this we did at
a previous job as "parental controls" software
punkman: I'd setup
a gigablast instance fed by log links
mircea_popescu: lol nah, this'd be
a more frank-the-ditch-esque personality.
ascii_field: i suspect that '20-y.o. taleb' may be
a contradiction in terms
ascii_field was
a sort of borderline case when invited to bitcoin-assets by hanbot
ascii_field: this is
a good summary of why, e.g., voice model and gpg mechanizm
ascii_field: kakobrekla did point out (later in thread) that none of it would make
a whit of difference
mircea_popescu: no, i happen to think your housekeeping ideas are
a short path to hell.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i meant - the lot of us. nobody wants to really break
a sweat for channel housekeeping because gossipd is 'the right thing'
assbot: Logged on 10-07-2015 17:07:16; ascii_field: my current hypothesis is that all the relevant folks are waiting for 'gossipd' and don't give much of
a fuck
assbot: Logged on 10-07-2015 16:53:43; Adlai: which is tbh more consistent with what happened
a few weeks ago
trinque: ascii_field: I have
a cat named hedwig!
mircea_popescu: and especially nonsensical given that there's an exactly just as silly, but opposite direction social convention : people going around with
a prosthetic leg are apparently GREAT!11
☟︎ ascii_field: 'different strokez for different folks', i don't give
a damn if she bought 50k of plastic tit or of 'cessna'
mircea_popescu: i can see that. but then again, how're you to know from
a pic.
mircea_popescu: note that i'm not for
a moment proposing
a course of action. nevertheless, holding the owner of 50k in silicone dispersed through her fat tissue in less regard than the mean seems nonsensical.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: ftr i don't give
a flying fuck how much of the gurl is made of what polymer
mircea_popescu: in any case, disparaging the owner of
a technologically improved sexual body while at the same time holding notionm like, "marry - to satisfy social expectations, be they in the form of taxation or citizenship or anythin else" seems confused.
mircea_popescu: do you prefer
a 12 yo with fake tits or an obnoxious 12yo ?
