http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-03#1763202 << i've been thinking of abolishing the artifact where a 0 stays on the stack after the 'else' branch. it'd require only 1 extra state variable ( a WBool )

<+asciilifeform> mod6: afaik this dun actually happen on any known unix
<< this the rub tho. have to make sure that it actually /NEVER/ happens. i can't have people failing in anyway with this thing.
mod6:
<+ben_vulpes> logs save us from the "but i thought we agreed" floppy meatsack memory.
<< i feel ya. if you wanna help me dig, that'd be awesome.
mod6:
<+asciilifeform> second , as in the case discussed in the thread, if a run aborts, it creates a mine for next run to step on.
<< try to realize that this is on-purpose. im certain that we've had this discussion before and what exists is the outcome of that discussion.
mod6:
<+asciilifeform> no good. first of all suppose there are 2 concurrent runs of the vtron ( say this is a cuntoo pressing itself )
<< yeah, concurrent runs of my vtron are a no-go.
mod6: asciilifeform picture scene from film 'idiocracy', where hero gets 'his name', 'Not Sure', tattooed on forehead
<< his arm, but yeah, great movie.
mod6:
<+asciilifeform> mod6: an aborted run of vtron should not be able to put a caltrop for subsequent run to die on. this is imho elementary.
mod6:
<+ben_vulpes> mod6: while you're in there can you get your vtron to cleanup its tmp gnupg directory when it catches a ctrl-c?
<< if you CTRL+C the thing, it really can't get rid of it. you're expected to clean this up on your own so the vtron doesn't remove something it wasn't suppoesd to.
shinohai: "GPS provides several levels of customization, from simple preference dialogs to powerful scripting capability through the Python language"
<<< why?
mircea_popescu: "doom is inevitable, BTW. mankind will die out, planet earth will be vaporized when Sol goes nova, if not sooner, and then Common Lisp will have to acknowledge defeat to the unwavering hostility of the universe. for those of us who plan to become immortal, this is a serious concern."
<<< 1999 naggum was apparently planning for immortality ?
mod6:
<+mircea_popescu> holy hell i lived to see the end of the 4th day of 2018 logs.
<< ikr!
mircea_popescu: "go and read some basic books" -> "read, re-read
<em>and understand

<< asciilifeform still doesn't get why to weld the next-to-highest
mircea_popescu: \t\t\t\t\tcsRef
<iMeshWrapperIterator> objectIter = engine->\
mircea_popescu: so you want "\t\t\t\t\tcsRef
<iMeshWrapperIterator> objectIter = engine->GetNearbyMeshes(mesh->GetMovable()->GetSectors()->Get(0), oldpos + boundingBox.GetCenter(), boundingBox.GetSize().Norm() * 2);" to be instead

<< and you don't know that it only works on the feeble minded, literally anyone else is going to see exactly what you're doing and give the canned response that you want: "the patriarchy keeps women down and what is really called for is demoting and docking mens wages, and promoting science education for little girls, and generally eradicating the constructed gender binary so
mircea_popescu: "intelligence is only a labor-saving device. less intelligent people can in principle create just as elegant solutions, but it would normally take them more effort to get there."

This is a very tricky thing to do, as I'll describe in a moment. The week before Tri-Ada, I added a temporary, kludgy implementation to GNAT. About the only thing it had to say for itself is that it worked, but it creates serious memory leaks. It
