BingoBoingo: <funkenstein_> it grabs headers from several altcoins and estimates the current time << The proper way to build
a clock is with brass,
a lathe, and
a steady hand
funkenstein_: while we're on the subject of time, i've been working on building
a clock
ag3nt_zer0: if I were to embark on
a learning journey exploring the rudiments of programming, would there be good reason to not start with C? I always like to go to the root of something I am learning, which in my ignorant guesswork I like to think C is one of those root languages, but I have heard whisperings here and there that python is the way to go... any thoughts?
mats: TIL GNU wdiff is
a thing
menahem: nothing worth noting, mostly "take
a hands off approach and wait"
trinque: customary punishment in banking circles is being buried by
a dumptruck full of cash, I've heard
trinque thwacks ag3nt_zer0 with
a zen stick
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: give voicing yourself
a shot
assbot: Successfully added
a rating of 1 for ag3nt_zer0 with note: new blood
ag3nt_zer0: so cool... even though I
a still figuring out what the hell it all means... hehe
ag3nt_zer0: oh wow I even have
a +... thought I still had to earn that!
mats: you're
a person nao
assbot: Searching pgp.mit.edu for key with fingerprint: E3A490547D5E8A590A5608B0C31CB3DFF91576C7. This may take
a few moments.
assbot: That does not seem to be
a valid fingerprint.
assbot: That does not seem to be
a valid fingerprint.
menahem:
a lil weekend job, throw it up, post some links, make some passive cash
menahem: yea 1 MP tee, then we had an order this morning for
a bitpixel one
menahem: ;;later tell mircea_popescu Your shirt is
a hit,
http://screencast.com/t/5Y30zCpvFu - By chance, do you have your previous header image ? The b&w one, you pointing, looking fierce ? I think it'd be killa on
a tee.
shinohai: We know there aren't any niggers here, how they going to find
a school?
BingoBoingo: funkenstein_: niggers.conf is how you set the police. If you go with the insane defaults they tend to go
a bit crazy with the oppression.
shinohai: That's hilarious jurov because I saved
a dum file earlier and named it "niggers.txt"
ag3nt_zer0: tried sending to shinohai but got
a string of numbers he said were not correct looking at all
ag3nt_zer0: still trying to figure out how encrypt and send
a message properly
trinque: would much rather have
a sane society and an above-ground vendor of recreational chemicals
cazalla: on
a related note.. some medical centres in australia are prescribing ketamine off label for depression
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Don't post np links here, we don't want b-
a warriors shadowbanned for brigading
cazalla: ah i think she's attractive, just has that mousy look.. no cocks either! maybe mp could learn
a thing or two from you :P
☟︎ shinohai: Yeah cazalla
a bit of
a butterface but for dat ass I'll make exceptions.
shinohai: So you make
a text file, call it gpgmessage.txt (or whatever) and save it
assbot: Logged on 18-06-2015 15:21:32; thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: the problem i have with legos is construction organization of bigger sets. I have
a 10k+ piece star destroyer set and if I stop working on it I always forget the step i was left.
ag3nt_zer0: shinohai: am I attempting the impossible by just trying to encrypt it to my own key and send to myself for
a check?
nubbins`: so take
a trip before your number gets called.
ascii_field: i don't doubt that when the time comes, they will find
a watertight reason to demolish my house, with me in it, in the middle of the night
nubbins`: single-purchase customers does not
a business make
nubbins`: ascii_field the LSD from
a single vendor doesn't vary by orders of magnitude either
mats: people already tolerate this with coffee, caffeine tablets are
a more reasonable alternative, right
nubbins`: "circus" = taking
a small dose, yes
mats: its always going to be
a gamble
punkman: ideally you'd want
a properly diluted solution and
a dropper
nubbins`: coincidentally, this is the same procedure used when dealing with
a known quantity.
nubbins`: ascii_field the sensible thing is to purchase
a ten-strip, start low and see what happens.
nubbins`: it's
a win-win situation for the purchaser
ascii_field: until we have
a way of dematerializing physical objects and reconstituting them in
a remote place without traceable motion in-between, like bits, pretty much everyone who is willing to be involved on the supply side of dope economy is retarded
punkman: I was recently shown
a website that sold legal LSD analogues via credit card
nubbins`: that's why you buy from
a website instead of
a street dealer
nubbins`: with the excuse given that there are plenty already and it would be absurd to cherry-pick
a handful of his own
mats: the most common arrangement i've seen is
a solution of everclear and lsd
nubbins`: the original SR had an lsd review team w/ access to
a lab
nubbins`: short of sending some to
a lab, all we have is subjective commentary
nubbins`: "As
a salt, in water, cold, and free from air and light exposure, it is stable indefinitely."
nubbins`: what, you think i pop online and choose
a random vendor each time? :D
ascii_field: no 'dark'-anything will ever sell you
a known amount of whatever.
ascii_field: not simply 'this is
a postage stamp with some amount of lsd'
ascii_field: fits in the comma at the end of
a printed sentence. but for actual scientific self-experimentation
a la alex shulgin one needs ~known~ dose
ascii_field: aha. some bozo (opponent?) mailed him
a fat crate of dope
mats: pick up
a reagent kit if you're going to do that
nubbins`: SWIM definitely took
a half-tab and attended math class more than once at uni
ascii_field: trinque: there is apparently ample record of folks using very small (
a few microgram) doses precisely this way
trinque: nubbins`: salvia is
a hell of
a drug
ascii_field: iirc there exist 'true hallucinogens' where the user retains not
a shred of doubt that the hallucinated sensations correspond to reality; and
a 'false' kind, where there is doubt, and to which most extant hallucinogenic dope falls into
mats: i vaguely remember mp being stoned
a few months ago
nubbins` suspects mp was sold oregano as
a kid and smoked it
nubbins`: smelled ozone yesterday while shorting the control panel on
a 240V conveyor dryer o.O
ascii_field: nubbins`: but what of the opposite, the colour of
a smell ?
jurov: i have put
a code in coinbr that checks for mandatory timezones and pops an excpetion otherwise
mircea_popescu: fuck it, make one planet time and whoever doesn't fly enough can eat
a bag of dicks.
mircea_popescu: i'd rather people had to get used to the fact they
a) live in shitlandia so sunrise is at 4pm and b) they're shitlords that live in the dirt and so their interests areen't being catered to
trinque: store as UTC with
a separate tz field
trinque: why's parsing
a single integer more dangerous than parsing
a complicated string?
mircea_popescu: moreover, there is
a list of idiocies that may not be not smitten
ascii_field: but my original point was, that if picking up the hammer of the gods, if/when the day comes, one may as well smite ~all~ the known idiocies, vs. only
a subset
mircea_popescu: the obvious "because our esteemed leader says so" (which already carried, exactly once, when the versions prior to 2 were forked off) doesn't carry, as the closest to such
a thing extant in bitcoin is against it.
mircea_popescu: irrespective of any flailings of random idiots (gavin & all), there can not be
a hardfork until such
a time as we have an answer to that question.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> at what level of 'hardness' does it even make sense to retain the original blockchain, as opposed to full-bore altcoin slugfest ? << the fact that this question has not
a good answer as of yet is perhaps the principal roadblock in the way of considering
a hardfork at all.
assbot: Logged on 18-06-2015 14:37:07; asciilifeform: my next experiment re: 0.5.3 is to be
a complete amputation of dns (the sequence of 'amputator' patches starting with 'dns seeds' and continuing with yesterday's two is in place for this)
assbot: Logged on 18-06-2015 16:36:33; mircea_popescu: im definitely going to run
a few, just as soon as we're in
a position to actually package one
assbot: Logged on 18-06-2015 16:30:55; mircea_popescu:
a hard fork is this enchanted moment when you borrow the heavenly forge and ... well... rewrite the rules.
ascii_field: (see the old thread re:
a hypothetical ada/spark bitcoind)
ascii_field: in fact, even if nothing is visibly changed,
a sane rewrite is in fact arguably
a hard fork
assbot: Logged on 18-06-2015 16:21:50; mircea_popescu: but for the record, no hard fork proposal can be seriously considered that fails to include
a fix for such scatteromobilia throughout the codebase.
