BingoBoingo: Well, I also read the previous porting efforts
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform> nubbins`: mircea_popescu takes a 'sapper errs once' attitude to bitcoin compatibility, for reasons which should need no explanation << Kinda why my -qt OpenBSD experiment is vaguely described in blog post. If I hit a grendade do not want others suffering same one
danielpbarron: "I just drank of fifth of vodka; dare me to drive?" --Eminem
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, was local enough news that I knew local source
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i meant actual tandem, as in 'every sig ever checked/generated from both interfaces, and all the world's bells will surely ring if the answer ever differs'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform righjt, kinda what i meant by runninmg it on testnet to see
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd suggest, in characteristic crackpottery, to have the two ecdsa modules operate in tandem.
mircea_popescu: ffs, i can sleep safer at night knowing that usagi v2.0 is offering derpsurance.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i meant, save & mirrorlink
PeterL: yeah, I see, working on it, bleh
mircea_popescu: "BitGo is the only company in the industry we trust to secure our hot wallet. The integration was very straightforward, and now I can sleep better at night knowing that my customers' holdings are secured with BitGo."
asciilifeform: fact is, i can run a graphical proggy on machine at other side of my house, or other side of the planet, and have the output - regardless of where in my display devices i shove it - look -exactly- the same as if it were local
asciilifeform: i actually know of no exception to this
asciilifeform: i -use- the functionality they don't see a purpose for.
asciilifeform: i don't care what the fuck else it does.
gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: I was looking for an article with photos from MP touring the US where he comments something to effect of "the US is fucked, it is a collection of people who have nothing in common". In any case, the hotel article should suffice.
gabriel_laddel: eh, not what I wanted, and I don't care to find the article. In any case, what is 'your country' anyway?
asciilifeform: punkman: much of what i call usg consists, on paper, of 'private' concerns
BingoBoingo: I'm considering it.
chetty: <asciilifeform> what, i wonder, goes through their heads when the nailgun fires and their gut is stapled to their chair ?// they still dont believe
asciilifeform: what, i wonder, goes through their heads when the nailgun fires and their gut is stapled to their chair ?
asciilifeform: quite a few folks who ought to know better make monkey noises when i/anyone speak of 'shadow state' and lizardhitler
punkman: asciilifeform: should I be looking at ada 2012 flavour? ☟︎
punkman: I don't think we have fire code :P
punkman: I'd be interested in learning Ada (or other language), but damn that's some gnarly syntax
punkman: asciilifeform: I wonder how much extra code we'll need to make microecc (or whatever else) parse/verify all the different crap already in blockchain
asciilifeform: mats: i am specifically not interested in shuttling crud back & forth
mats: asciilifeform: i may be able to wrangle some time on a cluster if you're interested in doing a batch job
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i'm cloned ten times << Do you think you'd work well, with yourself? Hopefully it's not like that Dexter's Lab episode.
asciilifeform: other than that, i cannot comment on the quality
asciilifeform: or does it also have to wait until i'm cloned ten times and can finally do everything
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, I offered the caveat of redone entirely.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i doubt they bother with the paperwork
ben_vulpes: "who am i with my white cis-gendered privilege to pass judgement on such a masterpiece?"
mircea_popescu: so if it goes to shit it gets cancelled i guess.
asciilifeform: jurov: unless i misunderstand, it is potentially unbound - tied to eu exchange rate
jurov: it's not very large, but i understand
jurov: asciilifeform i was thinking you want to move phuctor sooner but ok :)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm guessing that fan didn't see your extant writings on the topic? Or perhaps wasn't a spamateur and had?
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i want the whole thing on one box because i haven't the time or inclination to play sysadmin
kakobrekla: if you have a really lightweight worker client i can give you some cores
asciilifeform: i'll suggest it to mircea_popescu once s.nsa has revenue
kakobrekla: anyway, i gave you the links, your call entirely
kakobrekla: ah i thought we were talking bitcoind sync test or some such
jurov: kakobrekla: no I take it
asciilifeform: 'you need to go fuck yourself in the arsehole with a nice red hot iron dildo. I think that ought to improve your minuscule intellect.' -- from today's fan mail
jurov: i need to know what is the priority, CPU or RAM or SSD is a must?
asciilifeform: i simply don't happen to know what it is
asciilifeform: jurov: neat. i'll consider it
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i've always wondered why internal mechanicals (trigger mechanisms, bolt, receiver) aren't chromium plated as modern (post '44 or so) barrels are
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as far as i understand, usg's refusal to adopt the correct solution, the gas piston, was pure nationalistic lunacy and little else
mircea_popescu: i suppose i should translate this huh..
asciilifeform: 'There is just one set of rules that are effective and widely deployed: those that enforce the destruction of the natural world. Buried in the cross-compliance regulations is a measure called GAEC 12. This insists that, to receive their money, farmers must prevent "unwanted vegetation" from growing on their land. (The rest of us call it wildlife habitat.) Even if their land is producing nothing, they must cut, graze or spray i
BingoBoingo: Oh, now I'm syncing blocks from when I started sync'ing
thestringpuller: i'd be drunk by now
thestringpuller: if I was plaiyng the "take a shot when buzzword is used" drinking game
thestringpuller: so i'm on an All Hands call for the marketing department
pete_dushenski: where have i seen monbiot's name before ?
mike_c: omg that dilbert cartoon :D where's my favorite TA when i need him
mike_c: I was wondering how that ended up.
pete_dushenski: random lady on twitter: "Pete I had money taken out of my bitcoin wallet (block chain) on 2014-09-16 Can you tell me where to go for help?"
trinque: I'll clear out what's currently uploaded when I have deedbot join
trinque: +mircea_popescu | <trinque> http://deedbot.org/ << there be deeds << cool. why are some repeated ? << test values; I published bundles with the same messages a few times while working
asciilifeform: 'I've never sailed the Amazon, / And I've never reached Brazil; / But the Don and Magdelana, / They can go there when they will!'
danielpbarron: I have never seen, let alone used, emacs
mircea_popescu: When I say, "Read the source," I mean, read Satoshi.
danielpbarron: in the meantime i reference .jpeg images of the most important things to see
danielpbarron: hrm.. i'll see what i can come up with (warning, might be ugly!)
danielpbarron: http://danielpbarron.com/pogo/howto.txt << if anyone wants to make an "adult" pogo, i have some instructions documented here
mike_c: they were briefly the best way to get usd to mt gox, i don't think they've done anything since.
lobbes: pete_dushenski: yeah, I received an email from Dwolla the other day about them partnering with usg.. made me happy I never did any transactions with them.
lobbes: re: meetings << Even when they are on-topic, they are rarely organized. I've actually overheard someone in a phone meeting: "we're having a lack of communication about x, I think we should have a meeting on it"
nubbins`: mp ok i'm gonna pull out, then
nubbins`: i'm gonna abstain
nubbins`: "who, alex? he's been here longer than i have! knows the place inside out!"
nubbins`: it was at this job that i realized just because you work as a computer programmer, doesn't mean you know even the basics of what computers are and how they work
nubbins`: turned on, as in i wanna hear the angry birds smash the pigs
nubbins`: "how do i get my sound turned on?" head of IT
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: people just hang around << i find this is because people lack focus during the meeting. You stay on topic until someone mentions something off topic. "Blah blah blha pink floyd" "Oh you like pink floyd?" 30 minutes later you realize you're still talking about a 70's rock band and not about that thing you're supposed to be meeting about.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu i recall at one office job, my boss' boss' boss was getting a promotion, and so called all 120 programmers into a boardroom, 30 at a time, to explain about his new responsibilities but nothing will change for the rest of us
nubbins`: (incidentally, why does all the milk in the organic section loudly proclaim "I'M MILK!" in spanish?
chetty: nubbins`, yeah got to admit I was a little annoyed with myself, no landline here either so no phone charged was kinda dumb
nubbins`: we have no landline, so i try not to leave mine dead for more than a few hours at a time
chetty: <<< power out day before yesterday, discovered I forgot to charge my phone, for oh about 2 weeks :)
nubbins`: "didn't you see my texts?!?!?!?! i texted you 8 times!!!!!"
thestringpuller: nubbins`: i find those who get snarky are the most addicted.
nubbins`: but after a few "yeah, i leave it on silent"s
pete_dushenski: ^i'm even reduced to scooping for qntra now.
thestringpuller: nubbins`: i do this with texts. No vibration no sound. Have to put it on ring profile for them to make a noise. But usually you start to check messages when you feel like it rather than compulsively.
PeterL: but scoopbot was not looking at the titles, so I am kinda at a loss as to why it doesn't like contravex
nubbins`: nothing says "i'm an annoying piece of shit" than an audible call/text noise
pete_dushenski: nubbins` lol i thought you were talking about the tracking device part for a sec
PeterL: I figured out that python doesn't seem to like some of contravex's titles
pete_dushenski: i would be... impressed if that were still so
lobbes: ave let a landline on their desk go unanswered during a meeting, so different were the expectations for reachability." << Heh, I've seen people do this.. still strikes me as rude
lobbes: "Now more people have mobile phones than have toilets. This has created an implicit expectation that you should be able to reach someone when it is convenient for you, regardless of whether it is convenient for them. This expectation is so ingrained that people in meetings routinely answer their mobile phones to say, “I’m sorry, I can’t talk now, I’m in a meeting.” Just a decade or two ago, those same people would h
jurov: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-February/000051.html damn i meant this thestringpuller
thestringpuller: jurov: i can't get to that page. "page not available"
trinque: everything works; tomorrow I'll go over the thing looking for derps, then park it in here for actual use
mircea_popescu: digging through trilema (fuck it, i can't find an article hot damn) i found a 2011 pick-up guide. http://trilema.com/2011/cum-ne-imprietenim-heterosexual/
