BingoBoingo: Ah, the general admission exercise is reading six months of logs. Sometimes this is interpreted
as the most recent, others suppose there is a "most correct" six months.
BingoBoingo: I've heard great things about it
as well, but my work has sucked me down a different Republican rabbit hole.
esthlos: my background is
as a lisper and mathematician
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: technically .5 btc is "more money than zek is pewrmitted to have"
as it is.

as per mircea_popescu's old piece, 'They tend to show up late at parties because they figure they can always steal the cake anyway, so why bother go early ? Let the suckers figure out first - on their own dime - where the good cakes are'
ben_vulpes:
as i said recently to a friend, "heck yeah that sounds like just the thing the world has been missing until right this very moment! buy anything other than bitcoin, wouldja? keep malia free for another decade..."
ben_vulpes: yes well secure enclave advocate now
as well, hence "full bore retard"
ben_vulpes: This is where the special features of MobileCoin come in. The currency is designed to utilize an Intel processor component known
as Software Guard Extensions, or a "secure enclave."
ben_vulpes: or she actually wired monies abroad, which is just
as funny.
BingoBoingo: Not
as wonderful
as it could be, but compared to Kev...
mircea_popescu: you worded
as a freelance translator online, on one of the "hire freelancers" websites, such
as freelancer.com
robbinhood: no but I work
as a freelance translator
BingoBoingo: In other delights: here they have some sort of children's cookie which is notable for not being especialy sweet aside from the white chocolate chips. Back in old country these treats would not be marketable
as health food.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-14 22:51 phf: hmm, there's a bit of complexity there
as far
as producing files/directories shuffle, which might take longer, but i'll start with paring things down. i haven't yet seen diff/patch sources closely!

☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't specifically need a manifest,
as per discussion (have you been reading the discussion ?) ; can just follow the hashes.
phf: (fwiw so far i've been using patches prelude to stuff metainformation there. one interesting property of patching an already pressed lisp system, is that you don't want a clean press. instead you want to find what state your system is, and then press it further down the chain. but because you don't want to restart the system likewise, you want some additional actions performed
as you're moving down the press chain. so i've been using prelude
as a place
a111: Logged on 2017-12-14 20:59 trinque: problem stemming from that unix uses file path
as a matter of identity, and allows this to be mutable (!)
mircea_popescu: phf no such thing
as empty lines. put a fucking comment in there.
mircea_popescu: this'd require all file movements to be a separate patch,
as you can't both move and edit in the same go. which imo is bonus the right thing
mircea_popescu: when i say diff a/foo b/foo, diff fails to output "one is in a, the other in b"
as the first fucking item on its list of differences. this is because the (idiots) that made diff thought they gain something by eliding "the trivial case".

☟︎ phf: but anyway, i'm not convinced that file management is a proper concern for diff. we could add it to a diff format, by placing some instructions in the prelude (which is normally ignored by unix patchers). rm src/foo.c, mv src/foo.c src/bar.c which can be used
as instructions for reader with non compliant patchers, or parsed by the vpatcher to be executed. this is all incredibly inband, but conforms to the medium
phf: chain validation needs to only go
as far
as "does the hash on the file that i'm about to patch corresponds to what i expect"
a111: Logged on 2017-01-03 21:14 mircea_popescu: v is really only
as powerful
as the underlying differ is.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-14 19:22 mircea_popescu: that could've meant tmsr-diff. what it means practically is that there's going to be a "new" mpi in eucrypt, textually identical to the genesis one ; and people will be re-reading and re-reading and RE-READING whole lots of the same exact code
as if new, resulting in a situation where instead of the problem being pushed into "a filesystem hierarchy standard" it'll be pushed into a "code standard". which happens to be exactly
mircea_popescu: contrary to naive intuition, there is no damage in re-reading old code
as if it were new.
mircea_popescu: over time it'll actually get systematized,
as in the aaerne-thompson system for folk takes, or
as in the tmsr-diff here. but that day is far into teh future.
mircea_popescu: like how oral culture worked, the concept of a trope,
as found in folk tales, is really simply equivalent to "and this is how mpi goes, and this is how bubblesort goes..." and so on.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: yes we don't have a gns yet, but this doesn't excuse us from... doing the same computations by hand
as if we had it! it's not suddenly allowable to go "well since i have no running water i therefore do not wash". no bitch -- since you have no running water, you walk fifty miles uphil each way to GET water in a bucket. still wash.
BingoBoingo first 3 days heard it
as "Bom dia" though they adopted portuguese greeting from Brasil.
phf: well, the nature of v is that you're pressing into a global namespace. in fact that was a property of the original idea to a great extent (hence mp and his insistence on there being only one genesis). we compromised that already by having multiple projects, but you still run into the same issue when you're trying to combine multiple projects together. you're basically saying that the press namespace doesn't matter
as long
as there's no collision. ~othe
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I need to create a vpatch that performs the change of dir structure from a/mpi to b/eucrypt/mpi where the contents of the mpi folder in both cases are identical; or more specifically for the task at hand: I want to create a vpatch that has
as antecedent my previous sane_mpi_eucrypt.vpatch (whose output is an mpi folder with all sorts) and results in eucrypt/mpi where this new mpi folder has precisely same contents
mircea_popescu: joke works just
as well in either approach. but the буржуй bullshit consists of building an extra-tower of cvasi-funny bolted on the wall of the joke.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 20:44 diana_coman: although to be honest I wouldn't have defined it
as notable, hmm
mircea_popescu: it IS better soap than synthetic, but it also doesn't keep
as well. so...
mircea_popescu: slave labour works in the sense of education ; not very productive
as extraction.
mircea_popescu: well... 3x
as many whippers
as zeks. no idea where you'd get the whippers, but perhaps try china before naganting ?
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 23:17 mircea_popescu: it's true that women also have the avenue of not-being-animals anymore, but this happens to have opened just
as most "jobs" got destroyed. so yes that works for a 5% of them, and another 10% or so could pretend and convincingly hope. the majority however, very much confront the pork bellies are $2 problem.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 23:16 mircea_popescu: the fundamental problem of eg, india, where everyone aborts girls because they don't want to pay for their raising to the level where they can be married ~because the trade value of the she-cow is NOT ENOUGH~ is really the fundamental problem of humanity : yes the cost of living went up, but the price of a head of cattle, or a goat, OR A WOMAN
as such didn't go up. it went down. it's much cheaper to buy an ox now, either in s
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 22:22 mircea_popescu: serious about it, they'd have such things
as hunter-meat-distribution services oiled and ready.
mircea_popescu: (neurotic here is used properly --
as the opposite of psychotic, which is to say, attempting to resolve psychological tension through self-transduction rather than reality-reconstruction.)

☟︎ mircea_popescu: drives a whole class of neurotic behaviour that ultimately ensures her social marginality, economic poverty and personal dishappiness (not mere unhappiness,
as the absence of happiness, but the exact constructed OPPOSITE of happiness)
mircea_popescu: now,
as it happens said behaviour is a terrible strategy in postmodernity (basically,
http://btcbase.org/log/2014-06-21#727929 ie you'll lose out on EXACTLY the long tail SV.VC can not afford to lose) ; but the remnants of a pre-modern time manifest in the lowest forms of culture -- such
as disney films ; and passive socialization.
☝︎ BingoBoingo: Not
as directional an activity
as threshing
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 22:22 mod6: diana_coman: there is a 'mirror' feature in my V. But there is a limitation, it has a URL to the root mirror baked in. Perhaps next release this will be fixed and can take a root mirror
as a parameter. This way, you could set up your own root mirror/mirrors for eucrypt or for stan's ffa.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> serious about it, they'd have such things

☟︎ mod6: Hm. Well, depends on which project I suppose. For trb, one can send such signatures of pre-existing vpatches to the ML, whereby I can scoop them up and place them in the Foundation's repository
as needed.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu>
as a kid what i did with my time was that i ran up three flights of stairs to drink (straight from the faucet, who the everloving fuck has the time or the patience for glasses!) a stomachfull of water, then run back down and keep fucking running. << Since arriving I have been primarily drinking faucet water and coffees with occasial forays into the local bottled water and juices.
mircea_popescu: anyway, tbh /me regards the lathe
as the definitive item. for the obvious reason : lathe can build milling machine way the fuck easier than the other way around

mircea_popescu: problem of temperatures etc. if you keep it small sure, but
as it grows gets more energy... not so good, leadcooked duck.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: that is after all the point, neh, to somehow get
as large a headcount
as possible through the various gates (born, college, credit cards, mortgage, retirement hgome etc) WITHOUT "harming the environment" which in any practical sesne means... without changing anything.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the notion that they ALSO do butt things came
as a much later discovery, and unsurprising! and not even germane. the core still remained the "wtf is this dumb shit" musical taste.
phf: mircea_popescu: i started contemplating the same thing
as soon
as i said it :)
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, myeah; worked
as long
as there was electricity; and if you lived in a town with any big industry,there would be random blackouts meaning you'd get stuck in the lift between floors
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there isn't ; chiefly because the old folk didn't want to think about it and the kids such
as me had no idea it even existed. "suspicious of trad houses" hides a lot of meaning.
phf: i suspect downtown, where they had "early 1900s flat"s, it was a bit different, but on the periphery of the city, where they had "sleeping neighborhoods" it was pretty much the same
as described. (we had 15 storied buildings with a slightly more space in between instead)
mircea_popescu: such
as having to explain why she's supposed to strip.
