a111: Logged on 2016-11-29 14:43 phf: we had a thread when diff was first discussed
as a way to do patches (i think maybe before even v), where i was erring on the side of no unicode support on the grounds that if we decide to support unicode we have to, to borrow asciilifeforms, drink the whole spittoon
a111: Logged on 2016-12-23 14:55 mircea_popescu: suppose we had a rule stating that "all patches must include
as a comment the patch upon they are to be applied" ?

as a general rule, people who can't produce genus/difference definitions for all the symbols in their own output are better off not thinking yet,
as what they think thinking is isn't.
a111: Logged on 2016-02-25 17:12 phf: i've been mulling over that question with logs. fwiw, entire log can be kept in memory for analysis, annotation, whatever, 180mb
as utf-8 byte arrays. with unicode strings takes up twice the memory on 16-bit cmucl, and ~~4 times on 32-bit sbcl. i'm not yet convinced that transcoding everything you get into string and then transcoding it back to a bytearray onto the wire is the best strategy
mircea_popescu: also, my policy re "diacritics"
as they're called is that i don't write them, but i don't actually bother to take em out from text i touch. so there's all sorts of ro literature i fixed on my blog, where it's quite evident what the original author contributed and what i put in, because the rotards are very much into this "currently correct romanian notation is alphabet + 5, down from alphabet + 12 a century ago, and THIS MATT

as executive director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation; Bruce Schneier, a security author and expert; Gabriella Coleman, an anthropologist at McGill University who writes about online activism; Linus Nordberg, a longtime internet and privacy activist; and Megan

as "phreaking," has been publicly accused of inappropriate sexual behavior going back nearly two decades."
a111: Logged on 2017-11-19 05:19 lobbes: Currently going down the headless-browser path ben_vulpes suggested. Looking into phantomjs atm, which seems like it could do the job. I have an old craptop I'm thinking of using
as the proverbial 'public toilet' to house it on. (This is the same craptop I was planning to put a trb node on. I put a spanking-new ssd in there but then realized that the ethernet dun work anymore; wifi only. May be a good use for the thing to just be a turd server in

as for capslock, there is a mod, you can remove the lock latch

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-19#1740596 << nah. the principal sad of that item is that it excludes the phonetic transcription -- which'd allow it to also function
as eg rhyming dict. this is a mixed blessing -- the original it evidently copies did include it ; BUT it wasn't written in proper ipa.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: it's 'staggering amount' to the derp who is in the 0% tax bracket today but would theoretically live in the 40% if the discount were to be counted (
as it by all rights oughta )
as income << Not a staggering amount because jello shots are three for a dollar and after 30 of them sure staggering, what are numbers?
mircea_popescu: i prefer to think of you
as an ex-drunk than
as an ex-gradstud
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> graduate student just
as 100% idle hopeless underproducing hyperconsumer with or without rule. << Only not completely hopeless if graduated in 2012 and found proto-republic in 2013, to be evaled after arriving in Montevideo

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: the point being that the pantsuit machine RELIES on there not existing toxicitems in the environment, because the whole thing is so least-effort driven
as to directly uptake them if present.
mircea_popescu: (to explain the lulz : huffpo penned piece about gervais, whio's still active and who did whatever huffpo-demo interest item recently ; upon deciding they want to write it up they proceeded to "do research" in "depth"
as such works ;
as it happens trilema owns millions of "long tail" items, including
as the case is here whatever-they-searched-about either cemetery junction or gervais or some combination of other words. eviden
ben_vulpes: doesn't gcc itself count
as a magic binturd?
ben_vulpes: yeah i have one of those
as well but also ew
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: yeah i have now pissed upon this electrified fence
as well
mircea_popescu: now, one could say "but of course, mp is rich, man of leisure". except... i STILL didn't have a particular destination / timetable
as an eight year old. if anyone's ever poorer than a child...
mircea_popescu: this is also why i've not learned say sanskrit, and why i despise indians
as the cultural construct. bitch, interrupted classics isn't a qualifier, if all the jews had ended in 300 ad they'd be in the same pot.
mircea_popescu: it's why i won't learn subhuman languages, such
as anything black people ever made : not NEARLY enough classics to keep me interested in this manner.
mircea_popescu: gains ~not just for the "new" language~! the old one
as well! i'm a much better english speaker than absolutely any esl speaker BECAUSE i speak a bunch of other languages that ARE NOT english, which STRENGTHENS my english.
mircea_popescu: it's not FORBIDDEN. but if you insist to break the "why do you think you have anything to SAY yet" rule and instead of reading ro text with ro explicative dictionary
as per
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-09#1580455 jump ahead to trying to ~produce~ ro text on the basis of your english ideas augmented by a english-to-ro translateatron, the result will be that you'll end up with a subset of romanian
as permitted by your english
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2017-11-18 21:03 mircea_popescu: i'd propose it
as the standard. explicative dictionary, of course, not "translative" dictionary. this is the correct approach btw, "translation" dictionary is made of 100% sheer nonsense and not to be touched.
mircea_popescu: now, the item suffers from the EXTREME braindamagedness of romanian academics, 1967-2017, and is consequently not nearly
as useful
as could be ; most definitions are severely broken logically, even if heuristically usable.

mircea_popescu: sorry to disappoint everyone ; but i've sold all my bitcoin and am 100% bticino hodler nao. this is the right fork guyse
as it will totally win the letter ordering debate and is supported by broad letter consensus. see you all @moon soon.
mircea_popescu: i wasn't proposing to treat the binturds
as genesis themselves, no. attached exactly in manner fg did it
mircea_popescu: v is still needed to manage the metadata on them. such
as you know, the textfile explaining how to produce them and what (at least) portions say
mircea_popescu: binturds are NOT unapproachable. they are very much
as approachable
as, eg, reversing ivory/bolix software. not necesarily
as perfumed, but be that
as it may.
mircea_popescu: and ideally derive some mutual-support benefit, such
as A gets to use B's bios even if it wasn't the top of his list of needs.
ben_vulpes: in other wonderful old technology that is not made and barely findable any more, i cannot praise the sanford "logo ii" highly enough. the original "logo" is all right, but interestingly not quite
as well made
as its successor.
BingoBoingo: In other news, there was much rejoicing at the BingoBoingo store today
as rumors concerning my resignation notice circulated.
diana_coman: PeterL and anyone else following along on keccak: 2 more problems found so far in the ada code namely 1. in the pi permutation it's the *output* coordinates that are calculated
as Y, 2*X+3*Y based on input at X,Y and not the other way around; 2. at iota the corresponding round constant is xored into a(0,0) only, not into all the lanes of the state (following permutations will propagate the round constant)
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> may take some finagleing, usg.dns decided to be a bitch about ips so
as to force ipv6 uptake. << Either way LACNIC is cheaper/(less competition for space) than APNIC
BingoBoingo: Hence this is the stab at a basic box. Board widely available, has serial header, but only one ethernet port so not useful
as router

mircea_popescu: whatsoever works. coworker space, hostel, talk to the whores, talk to the students,
as long
as you talk to people...
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo at this point i'd rather give up trying to find non-tards online, go to lawyer in uruguay have it set up there. you can internetr just
as well from uruguay
as from illinois or what was it.
BingoBoingo: I am glad to offer: 6283 (or 5150, unclear yet if VAT'd) off the shelf SA corp including lawyer, notary, and accountant fees, 1500 to set up the rack, 600 to LACNIC
as a nano size ISP for IP allotment, 5335 for first month's rack rent, 341 for fiscal address and space with lock 24/7 access to coffee pot, 1200 budgeted to switch and router (actual likely closer to half that), 3200 putting Bingo in Montevideo (actual likely less budgeting
BingoBoingo: Conversation did begin
as they all did with 10 to 20 Gbps ask, moved to expected sustained transfer + headroom
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: More can be added to rack. Adding connection
as symmetrical dedicated is Mucho Dinero. Adding connecection
as asymmetrical is less.
mircea_popescu: by 2040 we'll have "nobody could have predicted" and "usg tards still respectable / government still needed / state still important BECAUSE ALTERNATIVES UNTHINKABLE!!1"
as per usual.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-16#1739830 <- PeterL you are right in that problem with your rho was more subtle: it *should* set all lanes but it didn't because of how new coordinates were calculated; basically you lose old x in the process and end up calculating newY
as 5*oldY instead of 2*oldX+3*oldY

☝︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes there's this theory whereby usg oligarchy (ie, the pile of fundamentally corrupt underpinnings of the state,
as all state ever is based on corruption nad naught else, which is why colonizers attempt to "root out corruption" in colonial posessions) is split into red section (raytheon and friends) and blue section (stanford and friends)
ben_vulpes: is there some 'color revolution' subtext to it
as well?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ftr, i'm rather doubtful
as to actual usg involvement in that. seems a case of "hitchhiker comes across bute, pushes it into the chasm below". well, it's true that "hitchhiker pushed
as hard
as he could", but it's also true that he didn;t make or specifically find bute.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the number is ~same
as say "ethereum market cap". if you trust the printers, it's whatever they print.
mircea_popescu: the french approach : since we know we can't win, might
as well burn the stack down in a memorable way.
mircea_popescu: rando indian is somehow in a position to speak for "ethereum", an on-again-off-again acquarium of rank imbeciles who couldnt manage to
as much
as paint the basement they inhabited, if it came to it ?
PeterL: A being the input array and Ar being the output array; I was trying to follow notation
as in the paper, but they use a and A, which ada does not allow
mircea_popescu: well, in that they're not so much tools
as collected nonsense.
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: tsmr
as the only honest, straightforwards, USEFUL collection of humans I'm aware of...
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ben_vulpes wait, wait, they came up with a loophole in the whole "Standard of care" scam ? "
as long
as you doctor for stanford, you get to opt out of the usg lawyer insanity" ?
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: You are going to get a lawyer. Your lawyer is going to probe the surgeon's colon with his suing member over that lung fluid thing. You will have money. Might
as well rent some rackspace and grow your small business.
BingoBoingo: Why not strap it into boot and let heal
as it may
gabriel_laddel: Speaking of which, am going to be performing self-amputation of right foot
as it is in the way + I don't trust or want US doctors.
mircea_popescu: what i mean is : the fact that div by 0 produces a non-uniform distribution of bits in the register suggests to me that it is NOT
as flagless
as it aims to pretend.
mircea_popescu: can we not talk about it anymore when discussing risc ? the concept isn't actually without merit,
as such.
mircea_popescu: why specifically the carry flag
as opposed to you know, any other flag ?
