a lower level graphics api
trinque: haven't found anything that looked like
a good decision
trinque: I've looked around for
a common lisp on llvm, as that's what farts into webasm
funkenstein_: well if TX channels do break, it is eventually the resonsibility of the spender to get the TX to
a pool - using external channel
trinque: hopefully this webassembly thing takes some pain out, but I'm sure it'll be
a while on that
ben_vulpes: (to deliver
a pair of socks that nobody asked for)
ben_vulpes: and i say that as
a guy who duct tapes jet fighters to submarines
ben_vulpes: it just takes the "duct tape the jet fighter to the submarine" mindset to
a revolting degree
trinque: so I'm not about to start preferring
a particular flavor of shit
trinque: and in this case there's
a browser underneath
ben_vulpes: i'm starting to wonder of 'clojure all the things' isn't
a poettering-smell

a poker table
mats: like its normal to run

☟︎ BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> embrace the surveillance state << I may or may not have around 2009 driven
a VIP across county and or state lines because they did not want their travel recorded.
ben_vulpes: i'm going to buy
a bunch of goddamn trucks.
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> it's
a hazard of the dude's occupation. << No, it is
a Hazzard, for
a certain sort of Duke
HeySteve: driver will get bad rep after first abduction, so doubt he'll make it to
a dozen unless he changes nick and car
mats: and nobody will care after
a dozen women disappear after their last known position was inside one of your cars
HeySteve: ok but the big picture here is it'll give all the regulatory types
a fit

a hazard of the dude's occupation.
HeySteve: eh, sounds like
a lot of unecessary paperwork to me
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: i dream of
a world where the insurance to drive your own ass around is prohibitive for all but the ultra-rich

HeySteve: but this is
a case where it makes sense
HeySteve: Christine Walters, Johburg’s mayoral committee member for transport: "The city would like
a South African flavour of black economic empowerment with Uber." - this sort of brain damage has taken over pretty much everything here
HeySteve: SA can be added to the list, lots of protests against Uber here. was wondering if there's
a way to decentralise it...
ben_vulpes: alf sez he has
a boojum in the blockchain
mats: that's
a confusing construction
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: heck of
a find, brownie!
decimation: yeah, I agree, would be nice. Apparently the former owners let
a weedy russian olive tree grow too
cazalla: decimation, walnut would be
a bonus.. i want to get
a few pine nut trees but can be up to 10 years before you get anything from it
cazalla: i've been buying em online, was
a suss about that but all of em have turned up fine so far
decimation: as Jesus says, you will know
a tree by its fruit

decimation: cazalla: I recently bought
a new house, and I'm trying to figure out what trees I have
cazalla: tfw buying
a deciduous tree in the winter and feel like i bought

☟︎ trinque: might be
a fun common lisp weekend project to redo it in that
trinque goes to beat deedbot with
a wrench

a wake up call, if you don't have your parachute ready...

a spokesman for Wave Broadband, said an unspecified number of Sacramento-area customers were knocked offline by the latest attack. He characterized the Tuesday attack as "coordinated" and said the company was working with Level 3 and Zayo to restore service."

a revolutionary design using cutting-edge physics, Helion is making
a fusion engine 1,000 times smaller, over 500 times cheaper, and realizable 10 time faster than other projects."
☟︎ phf: fwiw dumpblock is expensive, because walks blockchain in order.
a "dumpdb" that iterates over mapBlockIndex and does ReadFromDisk/<< for each block might be
a reasonably fast way to split .db into separate block files
decimation: the question is, how do we make
a portable tool to suck blocks from bitcoin nodes?

a node, peer with it, force it to shit out
decimation: I'm afraid it's gonna take going over with
a fine-tooth comb
decimation: pity, that's
a big too large for
a cutout dropbox account
phf: right, eatblock/dumpblock lets you construct any arbitrary correct chain, block by block, including the known blockchain, in
a fully deterministic way. seem like important building blocks of proper engineering.
phf: is it possibly non-determenism from
a dozen or so places where size_t is read into int?

BingoBoingo hoping I don't have to make
a bunch of patches to the RPC for this to work
shinohai: I have
a dedi server for foundation use if we do get electrum running
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Was recently gifted second laptop. Single core AMD 64bit atom-like processor. Testing stator 0.5.4 build, once sync'd will likely dick around with electrum server against
a foundation build with aim of eventually setting up
a dedi-box
shinohai: @ BingoBoingo I have been able to run it against termcoin, which I don't recommend as
a real wallet.
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Ah. If you try again let me know what they errors were like. Still prolly have
a month or so before craptop finishes sync
shinohai: Heaven't tried in
a while though. I was drunk.

a tiny window at some scrollable thing
