assbot: Logged on 30-06-2015 16:24:21; ben_vulpes: and i'm being dramatic about the plastics, there's a many-in-one stroller thing that a relative mentioned getting for us

trinque tries to come up with a more fitting euphemistic propaganda term

ascii_field: ^ from a node synced in february

mircea_popescu: anyway, i've been digging into all sorts of strange re this since 3 days ago, what's a bucket more.

mircea_popescu: it's almopst always a corrupterd db

BingoBoingo: I think garzick had a script somewhere I'll did

BingoBoingo: <jurov> ascii_field probably isn't aware that exactly the same thing as dumpblock output is the phoundation's bootstrap.dat << As far as I'm aware the "bootstrap.dat" never got implemented in a way that worked beyond the first 2GB of blockchain on pre-v0.8 clients

mircea_popescu: in even further news, overheard in the street like an hour ago : "mommy, mommy! is it a good sign when your fanny itches ?" ☟︎

ascii_field: (if this wasn't clear, this is a node running without a net connection at all)

mod6: well, i still had the build directory anyway. a list of patches & checksums is at the same URL nao: http://thebitcoin.foundation/doxygen/v0_5_3_1-wPatchesApplied/v0531-wPatchesApplied.txt

ascii_field: shinohai: in all cases, the canonical code is the original pedigreed and signed 0.5.3 and the sequence of signed patches which add up to a release

mod6: and I can't find a backup

ascii_field: it is not a shithub

trinque: what a dumb pile of hipster wank

ascii_field: even bought a weird jp device, 'pomera dm20', once

ascii_field: trinque: i've been looking for something that fits that description - while not being a piece of shit - for a decade

trinque: neat. that thing's exactly what I've meant about a device which is only for editing buffers of text.

ascii_field: ' the NEC still wins over most portable computers of any time for the quality of its keyboard. This is a machine for typing on, and producing content, not for consuming content... Even now, nearly 30 years after production, it still works perfectly. The larger capacity modern rechargeable AA cells means that four of these will keep it running for weeks. Astonishing battery life compared with modern devices.' ☟︎

mod6: **NOTICE** I'll be updating the graphs in this: http://thebitcoin.foundation/v0_5_3_1-wPatchesApplied/ in about the next ~15 minutes. So if there's a hiccup, just wait a minute or six.

mod6: <+mod6> plz clearsign your email, and attach a detached signature of the patch file << along with the patch itself i might add!

danielpbarron: he's got a +1 from MP

mod6: plz clearsign your email, and attach a detached signature of the patch file

ben_vulpes: and flip-cover for eatblock because state of running bitcoinator is mutated by its use, while the dumpblock does not mutate and so does not need a flag?

ascii_field: and in general, when adding a peculiar and unfamiliar behaviour to bitcoin, it is good practice to place a red flip-cover around the button

pete_dushenski: ;;later tell menahem lol at travis ! 1 btc for a lifetime membership to his tardsclub. as fucking if.

pete_dushenski: i dun think that a little plastic is the end of the world, not like we didn't grow up with it

ben_vulpes: and i'm being dramatic about the plastics, there's a many-in-one stroller thing that a relative mentioned getting for us ☟︎

pete_dushenski: a cute !

ben_vulpes: lady v did procure a 4ft tall giraffe recently, though

ben_vulpes: you can't see it for the trees, but we have clients in a building across the river that are *far* higher on the bezzletrough than us

pete_dushenski: http://www.autoblog.com/2015/06/23/tesla-disputes-rumors-model-3-delay/ << mebbe the '3' sounded like a 't' in your head, ben ?

ben_vulpes: "o hai i bought a thooper expensive babywaggon"

ben_vulpes: the model s is a betamobile

assbot: a tour of bitcoind booting to its first thread ... ( http://bit.ly/1JcOQRm )

ben_vulpes: http://cascadianhacker.com/blog/2015/06/21_a-tour-of-bitcoind-booting-to-its-first-thread.html#ak47.sh << i've been working with this. it uses bash, so less portable, but it fails on any error which makes it easier to debug, as the script exits whenever anything goes wrong

pete_dushenski: "Heritage Royalty owns about 4.8 million acres of royalty interest and mineral fee title lands in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Royalty lands are privately held oil and gas properties that are not subject to the royalties that producers pay governments for operating on publicly owned lands." << ok that's actually a super interesting detail. so cenovus is offloading the land that's -exempt- from royalties w

pete_dushenski: "Teachers' said the latest deal offers diversification benefits and a hedge against unexpected inflation." << lol! unexpected for who ?!

pete_dushenski: "Cenovus Energy Inc (CVE.TO), Canada's second-largest independent oil producer, said on Tuesday it has agreed to sell its portfolio of oil and gas royalty properties to Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan for about C$3.3 billion ($2.66 billion)." << speaking of deals, a big one for canada.

pete_dushenski: "Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO.O) said on Tuesday it would buy OpenDNS, a privately held cloud-based security company, for $635 million in cash and equity awards to beef up its security business." << might as well consolidate the crown corps, save on letterhead. ☟︎

Jautenim: k, I'll give it a go

mod6: <+Jautenim> shall i submit a patch to the mailing list? it's quite a simple fix << If you're in the WoT (looks like you are) feel free to submit a patch as you like.

assbot: Logged on 30-06-2015 14:25:50; asciilifeform: '...anyone who knows mathematics can see that the United States is on the verge of collapse because its debt has gone exponential. These aren't words that an American or a European politician can utter in public, and perhaps not even whisper to their significant other while lying in bed, because the American eavesdroppers might overhear them, and then the politician in question would get the Dominique

pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-06-2015#1180292 << this is a point. mebbe 1 share per picture ? mebbe 10 ? mebbe 0. i kinda like text-based news but there's little doubt that qntra could grow its readership (if that's the intention) with more visuals. ☝︎

scoopbot_revived: Climate change is a good thing, NOT THE APOCALYPSE, mkay? http://www.contravex.com/2015/06/30/climate-change-is-a-good-thing-not-the-apocalypse-mkay/

mod6: that patch is here: http://thebitcoin.foundation/ml/btc-dev/2015-April/000082.html << this patch does a few other things too, might be worth a read through though to see how it aligns with what you had already done to your own local auto.sh.

mod6: nubs submitted a patch for that -- it'll be fixed in the next milestone for sure. thanks for the heads up Jautenim.

Jautenim: shall i submit a patch to the mailing list? it's quite a simple fix

assbot: 7 results for 'install_sw' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=install_sw

Jautenim: out-of-the-box auto.sh fails to install openssl on a cleanish x86-64 ubuntu 14.04

decimation: asciilifeform: heh. it's no secret the trouble they are all in, it's merely a matter of publically pretending otherwise - and getting the press to hop on board

asciilifeform: '...anyone who knows mathematics can see that the United States is on the verge of collapse because its debt has gone exponential. These aren't words that an American or a European politician can utter in public, and perhaps not even whisper to their significant other while lying in bed, because the American eavesdroppers might overhear them, and then the politician in question would get the Dominique Strauss-Kahn treatment...' ☟︎

assbot: ClubOrlov: The Care and Feeding of a Financial Black Hole ... ( http://bit.ly/1egCDxc )

Vexual: its called a ninja now and its detuned

cazalla: i was gonna get one but got a zzr instead

cazalla: nah but a mate did

Vexual: whats the range on a postie bike? 80km?

cazalla: who needs a servo Vexual when ya can carry a few tanks on a postie bike

Vexual: cazalla might prefferent a z900 kawasaki, but they were for the baddies

Vexual: good luck getting it okayed as a saloon car

cazalla: decimation, which one? US has quite a few bases here now

decimation: fella had a guilty conscience

Vexual: lol, everything is illegal here, but you you must confess on a bicycle to get caught

cazalla: Vexual, was prob a spy and his time was up

decimation: heh "A police spokesman said the officers were investigating an unrelated matter and did not know who he was, but Mr Rodman thought the police had come to arrest him and gave himself up."

decimation: Vexual: compulsory voting is a contradiction. like compulsory wealth.

decimation: which defeats the point of asking individuals to make a decision for the group ☟︎

punkman: would you vote in a referendum?

decimation: it's all just a stupid shell game

mats: like a crack dealer doesn't understand a junkie

trinque: I'm thinking a sort of dunking booth with better toys.

decimation: asciilifeform: yeah it's a fair point

asciilifeform: hard to picture a sorrier bunch of bitter schmucks, eagerly taking it up the arse from history's biggest and most obscene communist mega-empire (usg) to spite their little piss-ant one ☟︎

asciilifeform: i'm not certain that there ever was a ~less~ sympathetic bunch of dekulakized folks than the cuban 'refugees' in usa

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-06-2015#1181553 << yes, there will be plenty of 'work' to be had there, re-converting the island back into a u.s. bordello as it was in batista's time; 'privatizing' and demolishing the spiffiest pharama plants in the western hemisphere; shipping the best doctors to drive cabs in nyc; etc ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: there are at least two sub-fields here - how the machine is put together; and, what idioms are common (i.e. what does a particular compiler crap out and why?)

mats: like there's a superset of knowledge i'm missing

asciilifeform: anyone for whom this question is a routine matter really ought to own the book

asciilifeform: otherwise a decent compiler does multiple passes

BingoBoingo: <decimation> that doesn't mean they don't occasionally drop a bomb or two << Puerto Rico is basically USG brown people practice range

mats: asciilifeform: got an idea? a question in ##re i am also curious about answer to

decimation: that doesn't mean they don't occasionally drop a bomb or two

decimation: my understanding is everyone who is worth a damn has already left

decimation: lolz as if puerto rico was anything other than a vassal of usg

asciilifeform: no one ever really built a halfway decent compiler for 'vliw' machines (like itanic)

asciilifeform: it is ~almost~ like a rationally-designed (e.g., 'alpha') cpu

assbot: Logged on 30-06-2015 03:21:55; decimation: "I've written code for a JIT that stores 64-bit virtual ptrs as their hardware based 48-bits. This is a valuable optimisation, even if it's not strictly OK. (anon)"

asciilifeform: 'harvard' is better in the same sense that it is better to be shot with a .22 than with a cannon

asciilifeform: where the latter is able to operate on a tiny portion of the former in any given operation

asciilifeform: (or, for that matter, refer to bits in code word unless such was designated as a 'return 8-bit constant' instruction)

asciilifeform: pic16f84, my favourite when i was a schoolboy, has 8-bit data word but 14-bit code word, in entirely separate address spaces

decimation: "You can go much stronger than that. Many security mitigation techniques rely on being able to XOR a pointer with one or more values and recover the pointer later by again XORing with one or more possible different values, (whose total XOR is the same as the original set). (Richard Black)"

decimation: "I've written code for a JIT that stores 64-bit virtual ptrs as their hardware based 48-bits. This is a valuable optimisation, even if it's not strictly OK. (anon)" ☟︎

decimation: heh "Can you make a usable copy of a pointer by copying its representation bytes with code that indirectly computes the identity function on them, e.g. writing the pointer value to a file and then reading it back, and using compression or encryption on the way?"

asciilifeform: this has all the appeal of the russian prison teapot (consisting of a mug, two nails, and a mains socket)

assbot: Logged on 30-06-2015 03:16:41; decimation: "If you calculate an offset between two separately allocated C memory objects (e.g. malloc'd regions or global or local variables) by pointer subtraction, can you make a usable pointer to the second by adding the offset to the address of the first?"

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-06-2015#1181475 << this is not even the worst known abuse. one book (forget whose) actually suggested 'just in time compilation' on arbitrary (!) machines by snarfing up binary routines from function pointers and memcpying them into a buffer, then (*foo)()-ing in... ☝︎

asciilifeform: decimation: by emulating a node, etc

decimation: asciilifeform: it seems like a clever script could stuff into bitcoind 'as is'

decimation: "If you calculate an offset between two separately allocated C memory objects (e.g. malloc'd regions or global or local variables) by pointer subtraction, can you make a usable pointer to the second by adding the offset to the address of the first?" ☟︎

asciilifeform actually wrote something not unlike ^ a few yrs ago
