asciilifeform: the way this kind of thing is traditionally handled, where i worked, is that you fix the lines you touch.

asciilifeform: the spaces thing is just one in 10,001 sad things in a jupiter-sized ball of sad that is trb.

asciilifeform: because of whitespace ?

asciilifeform: neato mircea_popescu. much better !

asciilifeform: because reading patches is serious work, i personally do not even have all that much time and energy these days, and other folks less still. i try to conserve it.

asciilifeform: just to minimize touched-line count

asciilifeform: fwiw i've deliberately refrained from munging whitespace or even fixing the asinine { } convention used in trb

asciilifeform: ty. i might actually have the stamina to read that one.

asciilifeform: ok

asciilifeform: at least in theory

asciilifeform: because the latter can be machine-checked

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 1 patch for the meat, another where just munge

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you must do this, the right way is to separate the two

asciilifeform: and almost all of it is whitespace-munging

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you realize, this is likely the biggest patch so far

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: argh this is painful

asciilifeform: and is in fact something lusers are famous for doing - recall the folks which the 'comment commits' and 'formatting fixes' who munge entire projects ?

asciilifeform: i'd happily see the whole shebang reformatted, but this would destroy v-ability ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: idiocy is ~contagious~ ☟︎

asciilifeform: and others, who edit their shit, who end up forced to use spaces to maintain the width ?

asciilifeform: the heathens, who lack emacs ?

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-01-2016#1379490 << rather than have the statement checking for luser who set both flags high and barfing, why not have two flags, e.g., 'forceS' and 'lowhighS'. ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: forgives, and forgives, until we have a bitcoind that wants a GB/week of ram

asciilifeform: 'what's an extra 10kB'

asciilifeform: part of the reason why software suxx is that the system appears to be quite forgiving of this kind of intellectual sloth

asciilifeform: etc.

asciilifeform: a garage big enough for a boeing, so as to not hit the walls ?

asciilifeform: i often wonder, do these folks also have two-metre-wide toilet in the house, so as to not miss ?

asciilifeform: 'if i make it what i think is the right size, it crashes!111' ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: i worked with a fella like that

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this kind of thing is pestilentially common in 1) microshit 2) folks who grew up on it. 'i'll leave a massive space on the stack so not to overflow because i can't count and also can't trust myself to put it in heap and remember to free()'

asciilifeform: (the stratfor link alone is hilarious. somehow i missed this.)

asciilifeform: quite unrelated, but lulzy, https://unreddit.com

asciilifeform bbl.

asciilifeform: no political acts at all.

asciilifeform: physics student with 'horn glasses' etc.

asciilifeform: though, according to the man's autobio material, he was a 'square' in the 1960s

asciilifeform: i have heard these same legends.

asciilifeform: for pollination.

asciilifeform: perhaps rms relies on... bees ?

asciilifeform: so it is conceivable

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-01-2016#1378027 << i shit thee not, personally knew a chick who wanked to rms but - afaik - never mustered the courage to write to him ☝︎

asciilifeform: сказка ложь да в ней намёк добрым молодцам урок (tm) (r) ☟︎

asciilifeform: ^

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: can take this, or leave it.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-01-2016#1378200 << very respectable former su prof of physics, teaching at a certain mega-uni in boston, once informed me that the typical 'attention span' of american undergrad is about 6 min. ☝︎

asciilifeform had 'tricks of the unix masters', old maculature crud, on his shelf as a student, and an actual greybeard saw, asked 'where is your 'tricks of the doom masters' to go next to this' ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: next up: tricks of the Doom masters.

asciilifeform: in every crater !

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not-from-a-good-life, i was forced to leave my damaged capsule, suit up, and go to the merciless, meteorite-pocked surface where mircea_popescu was right !

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: aha. ~actual~ borosilicate pyrex is extinct now, outside of a lab

asciilifeform: yes, it is now able to crack under thermal stress

asciilifeform: (the brand 'pyrex' now refers to NON-BOROSILICATE!!11111 glass!11)

asciilifeform: incidentally i'd actually rather have a plastic flask than one of faux pyrex

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-01-2016#1378169 << i think we have this on the grounds ! but it was of glass ☝︎

asciilifeform: and anybody else who falls in.

asciilifeform: i & the other inmates

asciilifeform: nah, the part where we get to die while eating (or not getting quite enough of) gloop.

asciilifeform: sooo turns out that mircea_popescu was right about pretty much everything...

asciilifeform: 'Why we need Huel? We are in the middle of a food crisis. Modern food production methods are inefficient, inhumane, and unsustainable. The world produces 1.5 times enough food to feed every person on the planet, yet over 800 million people do not have enough food to eat. .... On top of that Britons are getting fatter and more unhealthy ...'

asciilifeform: ^ 'eat recycled food! it's good for the environment, and ok for you!' (tm) (r) ('judge dredd')

asciilifeform: http://huel.com << related.

asciilifeform hasn't tried.

asciilifeform: aha prolly not

asciilifeform: the rest are 'artisanal' kettles of various shapes and types, much glass, many small parts

asciilifeform: (you load it like a cannon)

asciilifeform: one of which is a frightening industrial thing that takes 'ammo' and is plumbed straight into the standpipe

asciilifeform: at $firm they have something like 7 ~different~ devices for making coffee.

asciilifeform: and only if you fry own beans

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the 'not' is only available in one's own kitchen

asciilifeform: this...exists/!!!

asciilifeform: ... to fall asleep ??

asciilifeform: the latter - typically ~works~

asciilifeform: (e.g., line thicknesses specified as % of screen size, etc)

asciilifeform: and here i thought they actually had 100% relative coordinates ?

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-01-2016#1378115 << how's that ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: mod6: consider refreshing http://thebitcoin.foundation/misc/vpatch-nodes.html plox

asciilifeform: mod6: very spiffy

asciilifeform: but you said 'adapt to poverty'

asciilifeform: sure as hell

asciilifeform: why not invite 14 bums to live in your closets then.

asciilifeform: i escaped from it only recently.

asciilifeform: it sucks mightily, aha

asciilifeform: ah

asciilifeform: well, with pets, aha ?

asciilifeform: who am i to say what ben_vulpes should skip.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: aha, pretty slow day

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: under contemplation here and now is a very basic scheduler.

asciilifeform: in all of its rancid glory

asciilifeform: what a monument to eeeekvaaaaaality

asciilifeform: but going back up the stack, i want to highlight how retarded the whole seed pool thing is

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: we don't currently have anything like a scheduler

asciilifeform: and i dare say that this will become more apparent as 'axe time, sword time' carries on

asciilifeform: it has been kept up long past expiration date as it is

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: the everybody-is-equal thing is not sustainable

asciilifeform: (ro dante ?)

asciilifeform: what was the mircea_popescu piece, 'carnita, lu' fetita, si osoiul, lu' baboiul'

asciilifeform: stray dogs ought to get the crumbs off the table.

asciilifeform: i.e. meter resource consumption per peer.
