sjsqd: ok great, I will keep
a record of this channel in my notes then
nubbins`: if you check the mailing list archives on the .foundation website, there's
a bunch of stuff there
PeterL: why in c is
a long int the same size as int?
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 04-03-2015 13:11:16; jurov: <Pierre_Rochard> ^ what I’m waiting for is an exchange with segregated fiat accounts held by
a custodian bank. << what about paymium?
mod6: when we release there will be
a formal annoucement to the mailing list, signed patches by ben & I, and an included signed tar of the patched source code with release notes.
mod6: haha. ok. but i don't see
a problem with testing our own thing. even if no one else uses this, i'd like to know if it works or not.
mod6: we do
a lot of regression testing :]
mod6: which we're referring to as
a "milestone" release
mod6: so what you have is ok, but you're missing the stuff that'll be pushed out before we make
a signed tar
mod6: so yeah, when we said we were going to release in january; we hadn't hit the 160`001 tx sig verification issue yet and we hadn't considered the last-minute requirement of
a static build.
mod6: to make it build statically, there is another patch that I still need to submit yet (probably today) and another patch & full source to submit of
a modified poratronic build script.
punkman: typing on
a touch screen is just the best

☟︎ fluffypony: "I think FriedCat is not
a real name. Does anyone know about FriedCat's real identity ?"
☟︎ cazalla: haha holy fuck, derpopulous actually told the australian senate (with
a straight face) he invisions
a kid on
a skateboard in indonesia running
a billion dollar remittance business
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: Why did you choose to name the #b-
a lordship as such? Is there
a historical system of governance you are drawing inspiration from in particular?
mircea_popescu: similarly, the girls that can swallow
a snake don't puke
a lot.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform> superglue << Too great
a chance of "healing"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you have
a purely anatomical view of what is
a physiological process.
trinque: I wonder if there've been cultures that did fisting as
a sort of obvious "of course you fist before squatting out humans"
mircea_popescu: i kinda suspect that's how the entire anal stretcher niche got to be
a thing.
trinque: BingoBoingo: only took
a few good thrusts
mircea_popescu: google has been on
a shitmission the past 5 years or so, it becomes less and less useful.
mircea_popescu: where they did actually spend the 28k or w/e to shoot
a chick being pounded in air
trinque: sounds like
a great way to get sprayed with shit and piss on the way down
decimation: asciilifeform:
a dog is
a useful asset in the military, for
a variety of tasks
decimation:
a white communist and
a black algerian living in the suburbs could both sing La Marseillaise and mean exactly opposite things
trinque: you can't buzz your enemies with
a rocket, turning back at the last moment
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu is colorblind, that's
a kind of crippled
decimation: mircea_popescu: if one day you have
a stroke and could only blink one eye, you might find the skill useful
adlai: another solution is dictation, but it seems that for years to come, the best way to dictate code is via
a human typist
adlai: i'm guessing the ones for hire have hardcoded, monolithic parser-compilers, from countless hours spent translating the same encoding... sure, it's impressive to watch, but useless when
a new alphabet pops up
adlai: the real competition should be "who can learn fastest
a new randomly-generated telegraph encoding"
assbot: Logged on 04-03-2015 05:32:01; BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Weird. Five minutes walk from here is
a zone where absolute lawlessness is permitted
adlai: develop
a good compiler-compiler for new daily telegraphies, and you don't even need crypto!
adlai: this (gurl's skill) is really just
a matter of having
a good word->twich compiler
adlai: although i have
a 'standing desk', which places
a lower limit to the motor control necessary for all computer use
adlai makes no
a-priori constraints on intoxicant choices, since supply, demand, and the threat of violence are strict enough already
ben_vulpes: adlai: this distraction thing is
a human factors problem.
BingoBoingo: adlai: But even if your choice of intoxicant you set
a floor for its effect
decimation: my understanding is that in the ru high speed telegraphy is something of
a minor sport
trinque: need to find
a good place to call place-existing-windows
trinque: and in fact this sucks, since emacs changes it several times after making
a new frame and loading shit
trinque: adlai: but! it improves daily as stumpwmrc and the repl side by side are
a binding
decimation: if you wanna hurt your hand you use
a straight key
decimation: asciilifeform: nah, he's using
a keyer with very small entry force
BingoBoingo: adlai> being able to fully operate
a keyboard-drived ui (stumpwm, emacs) with one hand would be
a huge step towards using the laptop conveniently in most any position << You'd be surprised what you can do when you surrender to WIMP, your keyboard has
a clit, and the ETOH has reduced you to half f
a lizard's funtioning brain mass
trinque: adlai: I've got most of what I do in stump down to
a single-handed binding
adlai: being able to fully operate
a keyboard-drived ui (stumpwm, emacs) with one hand would be
a huge step towards using the laptop conveniently in most any position
decimation: some folks try to make
a 'ghetto steno' using
a keyboard
adlai: typing [+slime-fuzzy] is likely to remain faster than pretty much any other muscle-based input, just due to evolutionary accident... but the quest here, as i see it, is for
a drastically more convenient interface, which sacrifices less than the current ones (which aren't even that convenient)
assbot: Logged on 15-02-2015 05:30:33; decimation:
https://scottlocklin.wordpress.com/2012/09/12/not-all-programmers-alike/ << "I can’t speak for everyone, but when I program, I like to be able to make use of the rather-hefty chunk of my brain that evolved as
a language co-processor. Language provides compact abstractions in
a way that is difficult to beat using graphics except for inherently-visual tasks (the motion of mechanical parts, etc.)"
trinque: but it seems like such genius with
a single join!
trinque: for example imagine doing sql joins with
a venn diagram
trinque: at least without
a huge slowdown compared to typing it out
decimation: adlai: somehow customizing the input 'typepad algorithm' is
a 'missing option' on all smart devices
trinque: adlai: I worked on
a visual programming bullshit thing for
a year and
a half as
a job
adlai: when your likely input set is an entire language, even
a crappy markov chain leaves tons of noise
adlai: ideally, something where i could hold the device with one hand, and do all tasks with
a single finger... you can enter text quite fast using gesture typing, and
a program-aware editor can do much much much better than the current keyboards because namespacing greatly narrows the likely lexemes
trinque: adlai: I've got
a sort of AST making circle menu thing in my head
adlai has yet to see
a good human-touchscreen api for reading and editing source code... but assuming one existed,
a 'tablet' would be quite convenient for bedcode
decimation: yeah, but it seems
a chorded entry system of some kind would allow you to lay on your back
decimation recalls using an ancient hp 'portable' computer running hp/ux as
a youth
BingoBoingo: decimation: If you get the chance
A/Ux is
a pretty fun unix
decimation: without it you just have
a rather useless desktop
adlai: s2ram is just
a fancy way of saying "leave the dustoff at the bureau, all you need is quick hands and an evidence bag"
