mircea_popescu: the fundamental problem with permitting
the enemy
to get involved with
the state.
BingoBoingo: The 2008 one apparently ended up
thus far costing 8
times what
they projected back in 2008
BingoBoingo: Here's
there a lot of noise now about reforming
the 2008 retirement reform
that was itself a "reform" of
the 1995 reform.
mircea_popescu: basically
the place's been economically in
the equivalent of "having just lost a major war" since 1880
BingoBoingo: At
this rate
they'll be getting a "Peso Solidario" in
the near future.
mircea_popescu: The peso ley 18.188 replaced
the peso moneda nacional at a rate of 100
to 1 and was itself replaced by
the peso argentino at a rate of 10,000
to 1 (the
thing
the austral replaced)
mircea_popescu: before
that
there was also a "peso ley 18.188", replacing a "peso moneda nacional" und so weiter
BingoBoingo: The USG "World Bank" of all folks *encouraged* Argentina
to embrace
the convertability
trap
mircea_popescu:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-01-15#1956896 << here's some lulz : in 11985,
the "austral argentino" replaced
the peso argentino at a rate of 1 austral = 1000 pesos argentinos. in 1992,
the "peso convertible" replaced
the austral argentino, at a rate of 1 peso convertible = 10,000 australes.
therefore, between
the pre 1985 peso and
the post 1992 peso
there's a relationship of 1:10^7
dorion: re overwhelming,
to my eye
the best
thing you can do atm is make
the work as public as possible so
the people who want
to help you can.
dorion: ave1 I hope
those above lines didn't make it seem ~more~ overwhleming, but
the bottom line I'd like
to get across is yeah,
there's a mountain of work and while it's all achievable it has
to be sustainable. let's work with urguncy, but not haste and make sure our early decisions are properly weighed.
dorion: re 4.9.4 diana_coman
noted GNAT and Eulora have been built/tested with it and it's unknown at present how earlier versions will fair on
that front.
dorion: trinque further notes
that apparently 4.7.4 can be built with
tcc dorion: the summary
there is 4.4.7 is what mp mainly uses and 4.7.4 is what Gales Linux uses. 4.7.4 is
the last gcc version
to not require any
c++ to bootstrap.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-09 16:55:49 dorion_road: ave1
the latest on
the gcc discussion is 4.4.7, 4.7.4 and 4.9.4 are up for consideration.
dorion: ave1 re gcc being overwhelming, why don't you
take a step back from it for a bit and we work out a highlevel strategy first. for one, we're not even sure we want 4.9.4. did you see
this ping ?
dorion: ave1
thanks for fixing
the comment and likewise on
the pushing/asking. way easier
to deal with
than silence :)
dorion: mircea_popescu np on
the
tags.
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-27 13:32:53 diana_coman: aww, dorion ,
that was my fun with it, don't
take it all
that seriously.
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-27 13:32:08 mircea_popescu: dorion, you didn't do nuttin, it's his crowns an'
thorns.
ave1: as for
the genesis, I have
the first steps, but are a bit overwhelmed with
the
thing.
ave1: also, don't worry about pushing / asking. I've no problem with
that
ave1: dorion, I updated
the comment
mircea_popescu: dorion, o damn, you're rifht, i fucked
the
tags myself. sorry.
diana_coman: aww, dorion ,
that was my fun with it, don't
take it all
that seriously.
mircea_popescu: dorion, you didn't do nuttin, it's his crowns an'
thorns.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-17 12:42:50 ave1: I was genesing it, and will continue
to do so. But with feedback in
the loop. So, for example, gcc comes with an old STL html documentation
tree, can
this be dropped? (I would say yes)
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-17 12:40:02 ave1: As
to ownership, I can own gcc 4.9 and would like
to work with
trinque et. al. on
this.
The problem here is limited
time, so my primary input can be information/communication at
this point.
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-27 09:18:54 diana_coman: hopefully it's not *that prospect*
that keeps ave1 from resurfacing in
the first place!
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-27 01:23:15 ave1: dorion, I got
the pingpack and
the comment went into spam, retrieved...
mircea_popescu: he's got all
the shit from
the school bully he's gonna
take, for chrissakes!
therefore he'll deal with policemen, officious intermeddlers, people in suits and all
the rest. anything but some pimply faced, overweight sixteen year old, he's been stuck with him for almost fourteen months and he knows well by now NOTHING COULD BE WORSE!!!
mircea_popescu: he couldn't learn a hundred lines of
trivially repetitive multiplication
table, but he'll manage subway and bus schedules.
mircea_popescu: this situation reccurs in
the history of
the young human male's
tribulations on earth, whereby he runs away from school because
the well familiar small difficulties are
TOO MUCH
TO BEAR, and "nobody really knows" whether
the much larger difficulties are even large or difficulties or anything, so "let's find out"
ossabot: (eulora) 2020-01-27 mircea_popescu: ie,
the kid who runs away from rural highschool
to make it in
town because he knows how hard multiplication or basic func analysis is, but doesn't know how hard making it in
town is.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, it occurs
to me
discussion in #eulora is very relevant
to
the problem of bois, ie sexually and socially infantile but biologically overgrown males
trying
to "develop software"
billymg: mircea_popescu: sorry for
that, i didn't mean
to be so dramatic with
the "fine, i'll just work by myself
then" -- i
think i'm still working out
the balance between check in with a question vs. implement and seek feedback.
though on review it seems in
this case it was more a matter of
the clarity/information density of
the question/communication
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-27 10:54:52 billymg: i will go ahead and remove
the notion of options from
the footnotes plugin and publish
the patch for review. going forward i will make more of
these calls on my own and let
the published draft patches speak for
themselves
mircea_popescu: whatever, let
them be
together, not
the end of
the world.
billymg: though it really wouldn't be any
trouble
to move
those into single variable constants
mircea_popescu: and
the way
this is
then easiest handled (at least in part for legacy reasons) is as an "object" which gets preloaded, options.hurr = "durr" and so on ?
billymg: the latter was my
thinking. even for experienced operator having
the magic strings
together at
the
top of
the file might be useful / make
the code easier
to reason with
mircea_popescu: in
the (ideally few) cases
this is not feasible, people
tend
to mark
their comms as such.
billymg: understood. i
think i'm also adapting
to
the async nature of IRC (you may not hear a response for a few hours, possibly days, so your communication should be clear enough
to not require short-loop back-and-forth)
mircea_popescu: in any case, why do you want
to maintain
the "options" object ?
too much hassle
to
take out entirely ? more elegant
to have all
the magic strings in one place ?
mircea_popescu: so keep on
talking about what you do an' use
the experience
to
talk ever more clearly.
billymg: ah i see how
that could read as "add new 'options' 'feature'". in my head i meant it as move from current: default_options -> db -> current_options -> code,
to: options -> code
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-26 18:06:46 billymg: my preference would be for replacing 'default_options' and 'current_option' with a single 'option' object in
the plugin, no longer storing
these in db, and letting users edit
that 'options' variable in
the php file instead of having
to manually edit
the db
mircea_popescu: there's notwring wrong with discussing
the
things, on
the contrary. but let's read
together what you said :
billymg: i will go ahead and remove
the notion of options from
the footnotes plugin and publish
the patch for review. going forward i will make more of
these calls on my own and let
the published draft patches speak for
themselves
billymg: i only
thought it necessary
to check first in case
this code was left around intentionally for some reason i wasn't grasping
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-27 08:56:47 mircea_popescu: footnotes plugin original, one, only, etcetera, is
the one on mp-wp. what other garbage idiots did is garbage idiots did.
billymg:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-01-27#1957403 << and
this is
the one, in mp-wp,
that currently includes code
that actively writes options
to db. i was proposing
to remove any remnants of
this completely and only leave what would essentially be some constants at
the
top of
the file (though it sounds like even predefining some of
these values at
the
top of
the file is unnecessary and can be removed as well

to falsely claiming
to be working on mp-wp while in fact
trying
to stick random unrelated garbage in
there under
this guise, because at
the rate you're currently going im just about ready
to set
the bozo bit on whatever it is you do altogether.

http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-01-26#1957358 << honestly, no. i
think
the "option"
to "pick
the special chars" was useful at
the onset, when i was figuring out how
the world should work, but double-parens is so well established by now, even etymologically! ("every
time you go on a
tanget, you have
to decide -- is your paranthetical is simple or double?")
that it needn't be misrepresented as an optio
mircea_popescu: 'sthematter mocky, do
the girls let you off your baluba island cage half wour every other week ?
mircea_popescu: wth is
that guy's problem anyway, keeps doing
these drowning man bobbles
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-11 15:52:34 Mocky: getting it back up
this weekend
diana_coman: hopefully it's not *that prospect*
that keeps ave1 from resurfacing in
the first place!
mircea_popescu: i expect gcc will be
the last owned portion, simply because of what horror it is.
mircea_popescu: reading which, i daresay
to dorion
that "No one yet owns GCC, primarily because I've been waiting
to see if ave1 will resurface" is pretty lulzy a cocnept.
mircea_popescu: how's about recent comments in sidebar and
title slug in archives, no content, so
they can be useful for
their intended purposes ?
mircea_popescu: trinque, your blog is such a pain
to navigate, dear god. so i want
to see your previous article. well...
there's no recent articles on
the sidebar so i can't just ~see
the
title~
therefore eschew
the need
to click
things. but let's see
the archives... oh oops...
this month's archive is entirely identical
to you know, your latest article, for
the first mile.
mircea_popescu: let
the servants work for a living, what
the fuck is
this.
mircea_popescu: i walk out of shops / restaurants / whatever ALL
the god damn
time, for
the simplest of reasons, such as "took more
than
thirty seconds
to come for orders".
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck are you so dedicated anyway ? wrong place, ditch
the heathens at
the FIRST sign of
trouble.
mircea_popescu: smart kidds gotta waste away, don't
they, it's
the imperative of
the moment.
mircea_popescu: in other sighs, /me excitedly checked who
the fuck
that ИМ ave1 resqued from
the spam que might be, went over
to "knowen.org",
turns out it's yet another dumbass pointless pantsuit platform-wannabe, "protected by recaptcha"
to crown
the shit in
turds.
mircea_popescu: could be interesting for a lol. if you're using it for your basis you're way
the fuck outta here.
mircea_popescu: footnotes plugin original, one, only, etcetera, is
the one on mp-wp. what other garbage idiots did is garbage idiots did.
mircea_popescu: what
the fuck is
this nonsense, "the original" ? what fucking original ?
the world starts here, not some other place.

mircea_popescu: (but
to answer
trinque 's original comment : stolen cookies atm not useful on mp-wp because only specified ips can wp-admin anyway)
mircea_popescu: as
things stand now, 1 exists (though
the hash could stand improvement) but 2 doesn't and 3 is sorta-implemented.
mircea_popescu: steall all
the cookies you want ; and mp-wp can even dispose with
the htaccess ip lockdown mechanism currently in place.
mircea_popescu: 3. users logging in get
the cookie passed and a new record in sessions on
the basis of
the pw
thei provided hash-matching
the one in users ; logged in users get recognized on
the basis of ip, user agent and session cookie identity (all
three).
mircea_popescu: 2.
there should be a sessions
table, where logged in users
time of log-in, ip, user-agent, session cookie are stored. sessions older
than 24h should be deleted server-side.
the session cookie should be a hash of at least
the ip,
the user agent and server date-microtime.
