trinque: I don't see that.
trinque: I don't propose "changelog only"
mircea_popescu: 1. the idea to have "changelog only" patches as a signature device is a major departure from how v worked previously, it semanticizes an item that we only recently even introduced ; 2. the idea to have patches that are deliberately non-compliant so "they won't be mainline" is a solution to what i thought an inexistend problem -- why not maintain special "experumental" keys for the purpose instead, l;ike sane people ?
trinque: experimental patches meanwhile wouldn't, and the operator is invited to regrind the experimental item into a patch which edits changelog, if it's graduating out of "experimental"
mircea_popescu: trinque if they don't touch changelog they'll have to be reground then
asciilifeform can't find any argument against this
trinque: wasn't that patch marked experimental?
trinque: heh, 0.0005 confirms instantly now. aren't we all glad the shitheads got their gigablocks
asciilifeform: 'this tx may have come from parallel universe, we won't know until we intern its parents'
asciilifeform: it ain't 'empty', just orphanistic.
trinque: I don't see that he does anything to transaction parsing there
trinque: though I don't see how he'd have borked tx parsing
mircea_popescu: i do and i still can't ;/
asciilifeform: ( i dun have a greppable trilema here, so can't immediately say where )
asciilifeform: fwiw the deep historicalcrackpots seem to think it wasn't even arabs, but the now-vanished aryans or whoever.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re the 'guillotine neck vs mandible', if it ain't obvious, i'll spell it out ftr : bigendian nums look 'ffaistic' when hexdumped, i.e. correct . littleendian -- you gotta mentally flip'em. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: if there were a costless thing, by all means. but "between saving for six months to afford the thing i need and "buying" this other thing i don't need on easy rates i choose the former" though ?!
mod6: hanbot: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/t0piX/?raw=true << looks that way -- however, keep in mind the entire press did not finish, so hard to say that there couln't have been more if something else wouldn't have puked from hunks or whatever.
asciilifeform: ( it ain't impossible. but i can't immediately think of an economical method )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't understand the argument. so you write left to right, so what does this say ?
mod6: ben_vulpes: yes, i found this one in the genesis: +(function(A){A.widget("ui.draggable",A.extend({},A.ui.mouse,{init:function(){var B=t
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't go so far as have to, but it is a fact it'd help me in this point.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, ugh, I'll have to put in those link for selection, won't I
mircea_popescu: o hey, i hadn't noticed that they DIDNT LIQUIFY
asciilifeform: and yes the Bit_Order thing works, all kinds stuff would immediately liquify if it didn't
asciilifeform: ( and if it didn't -- it ain't hard to determine it mechanically . i will leave it as exercise how )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: you can't 'check endianism', you gotta know from where the input came to know its endianism
diana_coman: I suppose the "patch" would be to check endianism at runtime and use the correct constants as it were; I ...still don't see why should I have endianism in there to start with
diana_coman: and I don't quite see why wouldn't keccak operate on input bitwise
mircea_popescu: diana_coman doesn't know that she doesn't have one.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the basic problem of 'how wide apart the rails on the railroad' doesn't go away , regardless of what you set the knobs to
diana_coman: but I admit I am not 100% at ease that all the scramblings result in same thing; and moreover yes, I don't see the reason WHY it should be there
mircea_popescu: because "important " != "mioptrna t".
mircea_popescu: ti si mioptrna t for the fucking idiocy to not exist in the first place
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, diana_coman : if you don't byte-address, it does not matter whether you use constants, you are not endian-sensitive
spyked: mircea_popescu: sent a couple of pingbacks to trilema, seems to have worked (though I don't see them, it might be that they're currently in the moderation queue). output and script at http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/LZVEr/?raw=true lemme know if they show up anywhere in your wp
shinohai: Or does it just redirect to random article when item isn't found?
mircea_popescu: plox if anyone ever notices missing images / broken links / whatever in trilema say something, this isn't supposed to occur.
diana_coman: ugh, that codrin stefanescu was at some point with glorious ideas ~="all I care about is that my family is doing well, the rest doesn't matter"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> here's one example : he calls it "the most serene republic of bitcoin", which was the style at the time. but in practice we omit the bitcoin part most often than not don't we. << If I recall there was a moment somewhere involving miner retardation where there was a discussion of the necessary subordination of Bitcoin to the Republic. Bitcoin's need of a republic is not necessarily reciprocated and all.
mircea_popescu: understand how this works : usg comes to buy an apple for $1000 because it imagines it'll pay $1000 to itself and get an apple. then it turns out it can't take the $1000 and gets butthurt.
mircea_popescu: (kovesi btw, is the http://trilema.com/in-case-you-were-wondering-where-all-the-worthless-nuland-drones-ended-up in ro, if it weren't obvious)
shinohai: You can't call it black ice anymore mod6, das racist.
asciilifeform: kept looking for a thesis, and didn't find
hanbot: here's an example: i've made a genesis of mp-wp by vdiffing against an empty dir of the same name; this when pressed results in all desired files + copy of each file appended with ".orig". leaving aside that i don't even currently know why the fuck this happened, never seen it before in a press: i don't even know what to point out to ascertain that this is in fact NOT what is supposed to occur! if i was teaching a girl to do it, and she were the
mircea_popescu: here's one example : he calls it "the most serene republic of bitcoin", which was the style at the time. but in practice we omit the bitcoin part most often than not don't we.
mircea_popescu: the discussion here is carried statistically, not "exceptions". i haven't picked up a phone in decades.
asciilifeform: ( nao on other hand you couldn't simply roto-dial to him )
mircea_popescu: man didn't care.
asciilifeform: it never quite made sense to me, from my admittedly distant and dark perch, why lizard hitler ~not~ yet dared. it ain't as if he'd have to eat the lead himself.
lobbesbot: Logged on 2016-01-23 23:05:59: <diana_coman> I suppose on really short ones there isn't enough time for all the faffing about anyway; the io thing is 100secs in my books
mircea_popescu: dont' give me the "woulda but couldn't". fucktarded bikers had their own republic.
mircea_popescu: "how to program if you cannot" is an absolutely fine soundbyte ; and correctly descriptive. but reading the stuff it is mouted in, i can't help but think maybe he meant something entirely else than what it self-evidently means.
mircea_popescu: this is not an isolated flaw : his notion that "oh, those dumb spanyards who didn't think at university" is a typically ustardian misretelling of counter-imagined history.
mircea_popescu: applying the "o noes, computer is much faster now" meme as if it meant something only drives home the nonsensical view that "computer is faster". which it fucking isn't, computer of today is well slower than computer of 1980.
asciilifeform: hey ben_vulpes , wasn't veen one of yer patients ?
mircea_popescu: !!rate DicePower -1 tried teh anal child behaviour, didn't do anything for him. by all means, "he just didn't try it the right way", i'm sure.
asciilifeform: wasn't gigavps, on top of this, a tentacle of mtgox ? ( or was that another pseudo-isp derp )
mircea_popescu: anyone recall that ? "o hey, it got gigavps kicked out of bitcoin, but i don't know any history so why the hell not!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform shit, give it a minute till i finish, it doesn't do the name per line thing and we'll end up confused.
asciilifeform: can't resist adding to it
mircea_popescu: !!rate funkenstein_ -1 i can't even recall what exactly he got butthurt over, but has been hoovering ever since trying to affect the specific sort of libertard aloofness that makes it all okay in their religion.
TomServo: heh, just recently acquired the fg. Didn't want to start a blog just to emit noise.
TomServo: Glacial as far as? Having kids certainly didn't help my pace.
mircea_popescu: TomServo coming or going ? 2014 new blood rating ain't gonna stand as such.
deedbot: mircea_popescu rated jcpham 1 at 2012/09/28 05:08:54 << He was going to get less than a house but more than a car from pirate. Except then he didn't.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-24#1775228 << oh, i don't expect she actually understood anything. but hey, youth is the label we put on "i am watching the things go by and i have no idea what;s going on". ☝︎
mircea_popescu: don't they have a fucking iban like sane people in uruguay ?
a111: Logged on 2018-01-24 17:47 RagnarDanneskjol: I have registered a ton of domains for friends who don't like using Banks over the years.
ben_vulpes: i don't see this actually forcing you to maintain and update the content either
RagnarDanneskjol: I am just busywith work, often reading the logs in several weeks behind and doing extensive requisite study to actually keep up with you boys. I'm happy to commit some time when it avails.... I've even gone and upset the boss now because I didn't have enough time to train ornamental candidates on VPN/irc stuff
RagnarDanneskjol: It's just a model of how I do my own air gap wallet signing and I thought I would build it into something else. No it's not concrete or whatever I'll go ahead and delete all of it right now so you don't have to worry about it. I guess the date was a time frame I wanted to put on myself for some reason. I don't even remember
RagnarDanneskjol: Because it was just an idea I started sketching out one night and it wasn't for anyone's consumption or consideration other than myself at this point
RagnarDanneskjol: I have registered a ton of domains for friends who don't like using Banks over the years. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: !!up RagnarDanneskjol i don't need anything, wrapping up a tiny mystery
mod6: asciilifeform: you didn't like this one? http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1773738 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: it's a wonder the sad strip of land on either side of ocean doesn't consist of idiots running in and out of doors with barrels, trying to steal the sunlight in them.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-24#1774957 << aren't these the shitheads that tried to cozy up in like 2014ish, then obviously swiched ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ideal humanity would have constructed ladder of pseudouseful ("hey, make your own V!") to support the kids until they grow the fucking graybeard spontaneously on 3xth birthday so they don't go off the deep end as antsy 16yos/26yos with no release
a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 20:04 trinque: which, it's sorta appropriate for the age. it's frankly someone else's fault the strapping lads aren't being forced into productive activity.
mircea_popescu: they weren't THAT bad, i ate a few myself.
asciilifeform: 'forgive me, bro' 'hey, i'll forgive, but phenolphthalein won't forgive, prepare to live in the toilet'
a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 19:36 ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774783 << "org mode", i haven't found else with which to htmlize coad
phf: that was cm-500, it's got flatter soundbank than mt-32. but to be honest first time i heard either was after i moved to us, and it's frankly weird to hear all those classic tunes in such epic renditions. though i guess soundblaster that everyone had in ru wasn't bad either
a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 18:39 phf: afair though, the subset of commands that we have in vdiff can be reduced to portable awk (i had it working on mac os x), but i don't remember what the necessary changes are. someone mentioned that busybox awk fails..
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774891 << and why is it you don't remember ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: which is the traditional point of the expression "union town" : a job you ~could~ do, but won't be allowed to.
mircea_popescu: it's either programming, "psychopathy" or else you go on the dole. and no, the sort of job parole officer gets for you ain't anything BUT the sort of "job" "social worker" gets your sister, ie "sit home, be rapebait, here's your supplemental whatever card"
mircea_popescu: which is even a welcome fucking idea, no more of this "DANGEROUS CURVE AHEAD". bitch, i don't know your idea of "dangerous", say "curve type W64" and be fucking done with it.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 17:29 spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774654 <-- from my experience, learning for a purpose can lead to a personal place of misery. consider http://trilema.com/2015/causes-and-purposes/ ; if anything, rather study computing *because* people who know computer systems are needed today (hard to believe they won't be needed tomorrow either) than for any imagined fame and glory. the romantic image of pentester belongs only to "hacker" movies
ben_vulpes: but precisely that with drop-in webforms and recurring payments and all sorts of tools for people who can't make their own
ben_vulpes: don't-call-it-a-credit-card-gateway
lobbes: If it weren't for the (wholly optional) "pc repair" class I took in high school (~2004) I never would have gone beyond the "how to MS Word" in the mandatory "Computers" class.

lobbes: And the new dawn of "babies watching youtubes" isn't gonna help this learned helplessness. Just cement it
phf: well, what is that they say, americans learn to market themselves as the main skill? "how do i optimize the roi of my career track please". whatever happened to "i'm trying to make a sploit from this bugtraq, but my return rail is too short, and i can't get a jump going to proper place"???
