mod6: so thats ^^^ my version of openssl on my aws instance, and i've sync'd successfully at lesat
a dozen times in the last 4 months on there
mircea_popescu: might be
a bug specific to the 9.8o but then that doesn't explain how all the others worked
mod6: root@debian-test:~# openssl version -
a mod6: i just got
a chance to work on it again here now.
mircea_popescu: "psycd is currently being refactored into
a GNUnet service to run secushare on. The former psycd code is quite interesting, but currently unmaintained. "
trinque: but everything around me is
a superfund site
trinque: I-I just want to swim in
a lake not filled with shit!
mircea_popescu: as 1 goes up and 2 goes down there's at some critical point after which
a man is taking his voice in his hands.
mircea_popescu: trinque i think the concern is to be approached on two lines, empirically. line 1) what % of queries constitute powerplays and b) what % of queries result in interesting education that
a noob reading logs would benefit from.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there's of course
a finite number of photons that saw it, but w/e man.
mircea_popescu: and global record of 1+1 was trivial. perhaps on
a machine much akin to physical reality : the result of mixing milk and water is stored for everyone to see - they need but look
trinque: I try to only ask
a few stupid questions
a day :P
mircea_popescu idly wonders what'd
a world look like where gavinesque insanities actually made sense. "have everyone's coffee purchases validated by everyone and preserved forever".
the_scourge: i need to head off... this weekend i'm going to look into the parallella. i'm curious if
a symbolics machine could be implemented in it's FPGA
the_scourge: bindings are
a really personal thing. i just hope that i can learn emacs and manage to use leaders for everything, that's all :)
the_scourge: well i've seen
a lot of gnarled old hands. all of them told me it was chording that did it
the_scourge: i've noticed you don't capitalize
a lot of the time
the_scourge: well i'm paying myself paternity leave coming up soon so i'll learn emacs. haven't had
a chance for
a bit of time in
a while
the_scourge: i assumed it was poor design and useless academics who'd never had to do
a hard day's work in their lives. perhaps it is
a shit test?
the_scourge: 'Emacs actually comes with
a builting Emacs Aptitude Test. Do you remap your keyboard or the Emacs keybindings before the chords and sequences it comes with by default have wreaked havoc with your hands? If you do not do anything to make Emacs more convenient for yourself, you may not have the prerequisite aptitude to use it productive.' (naggum, who else.
http://www.xach.com/na < funny, that's one of the reason i've avoided
☟︎ the_scourge: you sound confident. what if i told you there was
a psyc daemon implemented in 15 lines of common lisp? :)
the_scourge: there are
a dozen i think. 2 of them named psycd
the_scourge: speaking of greenfield, what was the reason for greenfielding
a re-implementation of psycd? (assuming gossipd has already been written)
the_scourge: and that search needs
a d at the end ^ (for anyone following along at home)
the_scourge: "I estimate that 90-95% of the work in Plan 9 was directly or indirectly to honor externally imposed standards." < wow that is really sad... and ... is there
a solution?
the_scourge: asciilifeform: can i get
a blow by blow on what historical event was this allegorical thermonuclear war?
trinque grows to suspect that there is not
a programming environment asciilifeform likes
the_scourge: just when i was starting to think esr and rms didn't have
a point. maybe they did
trinque has very little idea where to start in terms of choosing
a sane programming environment with which to make bezzlars
trinque: I've seen clojure/clojurescript, cl/parenscript, haskell/fey (and
a few others)
trinque: what I'd like is
a situation where I'm writing the same language in both
a browser and on the server
the_scourge: asciilifeform: did you ever use
a genera machine?
trinque: what I end up using has
a lot to do with "what can I fart
a website out in"
the_scourge: asciilifeform: thanks. historically all i know about is really the AI lab stuff. i went through
a phase where i read the jargon book and some more 'original' sources about the AI labs. but this was almost 20 years ago
mircea_popescu: ... you want to code for
a machine that doesn't exist ?!
the_scourge: that mark tarver article really resonated with me. that pretty much described me to
a T.. and still does. it's actually why i ended up doing non-STEM degrees: there is no lack of boredom when you're lost in
a library
the_scourge: first is to be able to continue (at least for
a while) doing my consulting without shooting myself from boredome
BingoBoingo: On day the phenomenon is in the logs getting discussed, the next it's the angle used to disect
a fraud in the news.
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is
a major point. the death of the linux is not exactly unrelated toi the major disappointment of the money makers.
mircea_popescu: i would imagine alsa is uncontroversially
a massive failure on poettering's scoreboard.
mircea_popescu: this is even skipping the "ambitious nobody proponent with
a history of failure up to that point"
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding that
a) not really and b)
a machine's not really supposed to boot anyway
mircea_popescu: how is poettering to sell
a shitty re-implementation of yarvin's pile of crap ? PROCLAIM LOUDLY THAT IT BOOTS FASTLY.
