mircea_popescu: chiefly because I can aforehand know where i need to put the .wot and stick it in there.
mircea_popescu: mod6 somehow in my contorted worldview what i just described does count as "push button"
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag well looky, the problem there was that the dir tree wasn't curated well.
mircea_popescu: and that error should read "please put .wot sigs in /blabla/derpherp/.wot"
mircea_popescu: put the test sufficiently high up in the program flow you won't have bad things happen.
mircea_popescu: so how about the script expects to see .wot in a relative path to the project, and if it doesn't it aborts with an error.
mircea_popescu: mod6 the only concern with "Separate but equal .wot dir root" is that you will end up in a fucking mess of /try1/.wot /tryn/.wot and mix and match them with actual builds takingpart in another place and sooner or later you'll cross them up, or your eyes will, and the net result will be that you run a different security protocol than you intended, on occasion,
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag why not ? and stop interrupting the guy!
mircea_popescu: the way i see this is, script tries " mkdir -p rotor/.wot " , if it succeeds it says "wot dir created, populate and re-run please" ; if it fails it proceeds with build.
mircea_popescu: (actually half the reason to even have v is to run it with diff wotsets)
mircea_popescu: for one thing, you might wish to run v with diff wotsets.
mircea_popescu: but it should still be a subdir of the working space rather than a fixed dir somewhere
mircea_popescu: or however you denote string addition in that language
mircea_popescu: but you're telling me script creating directory $d can't create directory $d."/.wot" ?!
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you can have whatever weird lisp "1" you wish for as long as it evaluates to 1 lol
mircea_popescu: the script ~must~ reference a .wot directory somewhere outside of the entire rotor build area. <<< wait wut ?!
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo this significantly changes the bozo bit on "the tor project" from "don't install that shit" to "don't install that shit".
mircea_popescu: i thought you pretty much had all three lined up for it, no ?
mircea_popescu: <mod6> you think it'll be useful at all before we release? << nah, fgorget it. consider the release frozen like a week or two ago.
mircea_popescu: but anyway. there has to be a limit, for quantum reasons.
mircea_popescu: <jurov> “PGP is the NSA's friend,” Weaver added. << "keep saying it, maybe it becomes true"
mircea_popescu: i dunno, sounds like typical vc spew. "oh these powers that be, preventing us from ruining this thing!!1"
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller who the fuck are these schmucks again ?
mircea_popescu: <jurov> not impossible, if you change the clearsigned text, it's ok << put a tab instead of space somewhere :D
mircea_popescu: the trend is definitely unamerican, in fact it may well have been what produced despondent turds a la orwell and overall sunk the british empire, too.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: because it's in books and shit. jeez. mom wasn't even taking it in the ass back then!
mircea_popescu: but whatever, "the internet contains all human knowledge" and consequently all the discussion re oil economy post the arab shock never happened,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dude predicted NOTHING to date. not a single thing. the shit he "predicts" is generally 3rd hand restatement of stuff first restated in the 70s.
mircea_popescu: it's a combination of multisecular trends. one is a hate of plastics, that has been brewing for at least five decades. the other is a hate of self, that;s been brewing since ww2, and that expresses itself variously, but for instance in current "carbon"-ecology.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually the problem is consumption fell off a cliff.
mircea_popescu: you want to take possession of a billion or so barrels, amoco is more than happy to cool you off, get in touch.
mircea_popescu: anyway, his discussion of oil is pretty much afield. for one thing, inventories are way the fuck up (tho i don't expect he has an inkling of a clue as to how to look it up, and besides - so much easier to pronounce stupid shit), and deliveries are actually stalled by the buyers!
mircea_popescu: i regard my principal education in college being this.
mircea_popescu: really should be taught in highschool. "Objectivism - a class on how to object. It's mandatory unless you figure out how to get yourself out of it."
mircea_popescu: this is, incidentally, how snake oilism survives and perpetuates. negotiating and exploiting the general inability to form objections properly.
mircea_popescu: "no they don't! horses don't even have collarbones and they're mammals!!1"
mircea_popescu: the "it must have keel" objection is akin to protesting spina bifida on the terms of "mammals must have an atlas bone".
mircea_popescu: because many folks don't have the ability to express nonsense at the right level, and the few who do don't have the time or patience to deal with random blogspot nuts.
mircea_popescu: see, my reaction isn't "this doesn't look like what i'm used to see". my reaction is "this looks specifically like what someone'd make that has no idea".
mircea_popescu: he doesn't disagree. he doesn't know. to disagree you must first understand.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's a difference between this and that.
mircea_popescu: this changes the shape of the item in question, from what you'd expect based on the context, to what best fits their own ignorance.
mircea_popescu: it is the characteristic macula of the idiots unaware of the context to stick all the stuff they want in all the spots they don't understand
mircea_popescu: to be specific : any item, no matter what sort of item, as long as it exists in some sort of context, no matter the context, has some parts drawn under the pressure of that context.
mircea_popescu: it's not merely just bad. it specifically looks like the fundamentally broken vision of one who does not understand the topic. like that fixed jesus image.
mircea_popescu: only someone who has never sailed in his life would describe that abomination as a boat.
