trinque: this fs/db hybrid has been talked about for
a damn long time
☟︎ trinque: +mircea_popescu | ben_vulpes im not informed enough to guess, but maybe
a "best of both words" hybrid could thrive. << BeFS comes to mind; filesystem with relational features
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: When you grow more shiva hands may I suggest
a hobby? Photograph pine trees. Contemplate which one when converted to stake best matches each shitgnomism.
NewLiberty: I was an rdb wonk but my expertise is
a decade or so stale.
decimation: I think the 'waldo' device is
a great idea for building small prototypes
NewLiberty: His latest project though was for
a bitcoin webcam company, pretty girls and such
NewLiberty: He was doing
a rdbs project with open API for folks that want cloud nodes but didn't want to run them.
mircea_popescu: mod6 if you write
a spec or something ima read it, for whatever good that's gonna do
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> incidentally, i wonder if one could make
a filesystem specifically for blockchain storage. << i definately wanna discuss this.
mircea_popescu makes mental note : if alf spends time anticipating
a nice itam and then doesn't get it, alf gets very pissy!
ben_vulpes: you're not siemens, you don't swing 500m in legal fees every quarter, you don't get to go over the bills with
a fine toothed comb etc
NewLiberty: ben_vulpes: "Gweedo" did quite
a bit of RDBM crunching of the block chain for
a project of his, he had many failures and learned much
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes im not informed enough to guess, but maybe
a "best of both words" hybrid could thrive.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i grow more and more tempted every day to use postgres as
a filesystem.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i wonder if one could make
a filesystem specifically for blockchain storage.
ben_vulpes: but
a *queryable* blockchain is something else entirely.
ben_vulpes: the storage on disk is
a thing of import, no doubt.
ben_vulpes: do any of you know anything about relational schema design? i'm derping on
a thing and would like to run an early early early schema draft by someone who actually understands relational dbs.
decimation: it's not
a true faraday cage, but it will attenuate
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well... the cutout of the two boards sounds like
a great blogpost.
ben_vulpes: i'll admit to shitting more than
a single brix over its issuance, given my presence here and name change froofraw.
cazalla: "I will need the support of everyone while inside, and I would appreciate it so much. Even $10 would go along way. There are
a few days to send me money."
ben_vulpes: during my days in the wafer biz the shop for whom i slaved had
a high-res testing machine that could test arbitrary board designs
ben_vulpes: the tooling investment to make this feasible for every board sent through
a given shop is non trivial though, ibid for customer education.
decimation: testing boards is
a whole other layer of complexity
decimation: ben_vulpes: yeah except in this case, the taco stand bills itself as
a custom taco stand
ben_vulpes: "look, we're ording from
a taco shop. the tacos cost
a dollar fifty
a pop. they're not going to be pleased with crazy custom orders, so cut it out.
BingoBoingo: How do these fuckers expect to do
a business off of 1-off boards when
a two board order offers two dead boards
mircea_popescu: i'm half tempted to do
a "basics of satellites" like the hollywood and the corn one. however...
mircea_popescu: you're already talking half
a ton of gear here. i didn't hear of aerospace material going for $200 / kg yet.
decimation: everyone and his mom in sillycon valley wants to loft
a satellite constellation
mircea_popescu: btw re computers and looms thread
a coupla months back, i somehow forgot to mention the jacquard loom specifically.
decimation: right, but how could it possibly be economical to load two parts into
a pick n' place
mod6: <+jurov> mod6 sorry, dns problem, fixed << ahh, awesome. not
a problem. Thanks!
mircea_popescu: need
a berlusconi or something to show them how it'd sone
decimation: re: italians < especially southern italians. northern ones tend to be
a bit more germanic
decimation: re: asciilifeform on
a boat < wash dc is famous for having
a 'marina' on the potomac where one can live for the price of
a boat and
a few $k per year
cazalla: ben_vulpes, nothing untoward, his name just popped up in
a trailer for
a video and i searched logs here but few hits
decimation: yeah, crew served or mounted on
a vehicle
decimation: re: full auto < yeah us mil agrees, the ar-15 (m16) isn't made with full auto anymore, only 3-round burst. even this is almost never used. There is
a place for full auto, and it is on
a machine gun that is heavy enough to fire at full auto without completely losing accuracy
mircea_popescu: * for
a stack of CAs is to send it to the client). Actually, it doesn't have
mircea_popescu: * it doesn't really have anything to do with clients (except that
a common use
mircea_popescu: * Load CA certs from
a file into
a ::STACK. Note that it is somewhat misnamed;
decimation: so what he's saying is that they put the libdl stuff in there so that you could load
a binary driver for custom hardware
mircea_popescu: "After messing around with this code for about
a month I decided to write this up for the tubes in the hope that I can save some souls. I have come to the conclusion that OpenSSL is equivalent to monkeys throwing feces at the wall. It is, bar none, the worst library I have ever worked with. I can not believe that the internet is running on such
a ridiculous complex and gratuitously stupid piece of code. Since circa 199
decimation:
a common scenario is when you want to load 'binary plugins'
decimation: ben_vulpes: usually libdl is used to load
a binary library *after* the program has launched
ben_vulpes: cazalla: i don't know
a transisto, no.
danielpbarron: only to barely glance what was inside once open? << i confidently walked through security at the new york marathon (post boston bombing) without having my backpack checked; had
a stainless steel 64 oz bottle inside
cazalla: it's not that i mind that they mentioned other people part of
a possible syndicate with silvey (which i didn't include in article as no proof of this anyway) but least they could do is admit that yeah, we followed it back from the avatar after having read about it on qntra
davout: Adlai: so it should really be "boss makes
a dollar while I make
a dime, and
a turd"
Adlai: vandals carrying spraypaint, sure. but it always seemed
a different breed of vandal to wander around with
a sharpie
Adlai: boss makes
a dollar while i make
a dime // that's why i shit on company time
assbot: Logged on 12-03-2015 22:29:29; mircea_popescu: get
a dog, will lick you clean for free.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, despite not allowing her in the house, i am quite sensitive about my Lucy, so please don't be saying she had such
a look :(
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i loved my dog too but she was
a dog
trinque: I've seen
a dog devour cow turd after cow turd;
a mere human ass is nothing
trinque: cazalla: heh! I had
a gf that would jack my tp from her work when I was 19; that's called having connections
cazalla: i don't recall ever feeling it was
a position of authority, more reminded of the fact i was nervous but at same time excited to get pocket money
Adlai: cazalla: most tlv venues ranging from cafes to clubs, movie theaters to supermarkets - have 'somebody' at the door, generally with
a pulse or an expression (rarely more than one), and this the
