mircea_popescu: hoarding it like ~ is borne of a very flattering view of humanity, supposing somehow
that
the worms could also not be worms, if $magic, such as you know, reading a book.
mircea_popescu: but at least i don't
throw it all out
the window, so
there's
that.
mircea_popescu: i also hoard dead
tree, it's called furniture. but in
that application works fabulously well,
the absence of a different couch does in no way detract from
the damsel's moans who's overturned on it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not for hoarding dead
tree per se, but for attempting
to apply a linear solution
to a nonlinear problem WAY past
the point where
the mismatch should have become obvious.
shinohai wrote Qntra on
that, hasn't yet been published
mircea_popescu: the meteoric path of
that young careerist is quite amusing. started rather impressively, fell right in
the shitter.
mircea_popescu: but some people are not specific
things. what's
they
to do.
mircea_popescu: works well enough if one decides
to be say, a playwright. all you need is already published and already known, learn greek and latin and go ahead.
mircea_popescu: but
the overarching point is
that a life of
the spirit requires you read books you DIDNT read before. re-reading
the same books you already know is a dubious benefit.
mircea_popescu: i dun feel like paying amazon 30 bux because who
the fuck are
they, not like
they helped me know i hafta read
this, and not like
there can exist another merit ; i dun feel like waiting
till
they deliver. i did see
the book at one point, in library, of course, which is how i know it exists, but i'm not going back
there
to read a book.
mircea_popescu: phf` suppose
this morning you have
to read l'histoire de mademoiselle cronel ditte fretilon. because whatever, as part of your plurious activities you're helping a girl get a place off
the ground and being a serious agent you scoop
the quarries of
truth quite
that deep. what now ?
shinohai: He is, if I ever find some Indian city willing
to accept Bitcoin in exchange for naming a designated shitting street after him, I will gladly memorialize him.
shinohai: He can always learn 2 write shitty javascript and sell crap on fivver like all
the other pajeets.
mircea_popescu: maybe he never overcomes
the moment, spends rest of his life cringing over
this, like a sort of lefty rms.
shinohai: I was
trying
to
think of how
to spin a Qntra out of it, but it was quite lulzy on it's own.
mircea_popescu: "scholar in residence",
they wouldn't even give him a chair. NYU ffs! next step down was what, supervising
the used sportsbras of
the ohio state sluts ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai lol,
the butthurt of
the idiot indian. he was already seeing himself consul, what do we mean his career is finished ?!?!?! CAN NOT BEEE!!11
BingoBoingo: But wankel while a 4-stroke is a
total loss design
that even has oil injection, a feature usually reserved for larger 2-strokes
BingoBoingo: The wankel being a 4-stroke, or poor fellow who misadventured on 4-stroke strimmer getting jewed of of half
the power strokes he'd have on a 2-cycle
BingoBoingo today had
to console poor fellow who burdened himself with a 4-cycle string
trimmer "It seems
to not be
that powerful" "Of course it's not,
there's half as many power strokes"
BingoBoingo: But no, instead
they wanna fake boring ole normal and instead
the moo cows moo "Leak! Leak!"
BingoBoingo: The wankel is indeed a
total oil loss system, which means FU PETROIL!
mircea_popescu: i guess.
there's ~no way
to compensate
that loss of mass
though.
mircea_popescu: o brother,
this was one of
those
total oil loss systems was it ?
BingoBoingo: The only problem with Mazda wenkels is
the stupid insistence on oil injection instead of just running a 2-cycle petroil mix

trinque: no need
to rush on my account, plenty of strange acts of serial cable mangling and other perversions on my end yet
mircea_popescu: paper is a miserable fit for
the manner in which i read. one day ima actually manage
to put into algo form
the sort of
tree i wish
to see
mircea_popescu: perhaps ; but it's not clearly out of
the crossing yet, so it may be counted.
mircea_popescu: well,
the reasoning was, "as
they can't be bothered
to read online while out ; so can't
they be bothered
to read books while in"
a111: Logged on 2017-05-14 23:47 mircea_popescu: we already arguably lost a contributor because he couldn't predict what we wouldn't like about
the STYLE, rather
than substance of his work.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-09 13:04 asciilifeform: it is possible
that solitary prisoners go mad from simple boredom. notice
that nobody is ever imprisoned in a library.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, speaking of buried
tech : ~nobody credits diderot with
the first coherent rejection of "intelligent design", but lettre sur les aveugles.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> we already arguably lost a contributor because he couldn't predict what we wouldn't like about
the STYLE, rather
than substance of his work. << i kinda agree
that some
type of loose style guide should be created and posted
to minimize churn/rework
to assimilate
a111: Logged on 2017-05-14 22:11 ben_vulpes: one wrinkle
that occurred
to me as i
tested
this patch against a not-completely synced node
this afternoon is
that satoshi's early
transactions were all of
the "pay
to pubkey" variety, and not
today's standard "pay
to pubkey hash" breed.
ben_vulpes: (helps
that folks are generally familiar with
the base code.)
mircea_popescu: it might be
the first
time i had something cogent
to say about code.
ben_vulpes: possibly
the most
timely in my
tenure with
the republic!
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it's my understanding
that
the soul of c is exactly "compiler dun care about
this".
ben_vulpes: it does surprise me
that
the function is declared
to return a boolean, but
the compiler says nothing about a branch where it might not return anything.
mircea_popescu: (this is generally
the wost sort of problem, when false is
the expected return, because undefined often masquerades false, ie it "seems
to work")
ben_vulpes: i foolishly, naively assumed
the compiler would detect
that.
mircea_popescu: because seems as it is
that it may not return anything specifically in some cases.
mircea_popescu: so
to summarize : ismine logic is false if !solver,
true if item.first==op_pubkeyhash and gethash160=hash160 ; false if item.first==op_pubkeyhash and !gethash160=hash160 ;
ben_vulpes: the boost is glued in very
tightly in
there.
ben_vulpes: i do not understand
the subtleties of what is happening in script.cpp, and so decided
to stick with shown-good semantics.
mircea_popescu: + BOOST_FOREACH(PAIRTYPE(opcodetype, valtype)& item, vSolution) << more
than one ?
ben_vulpes: after some
time in
the pit, i stopped boosting.
ben_vulpes: it may have been simply
the first
thing i did, and so mimicked existing style.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: hm. a map structure and an iterator over it seems clear
to me, imho. just looks unfamiliar
to a c developer. but not arguing further
mircea_popescu: we already arguably lost a contributor because he couldn't predict what we wouldn't like about
the STYLE, rather
than substance of his work.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: i wish
that i could recall my reasoning for using
that boostism.
mircea_popescu: man gotta know, if / when doing patch work, wtf his stylistic choices are required, expected, desired
to be
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
to my mind "c99 loop vs boost blabla" is very much in
the same chapter as 4/2 spaces etc
ben_vulpes: happy
to replace
the dangling boostism, certainly.
ben_vulpes: i will reformat with 2, did not feel like futzing with emacs
to make 4 spaces happen for
this.
ben_vulpes: i did use one final BOOST_FOREACH in
the output serialization.
mircea_popescu: question is very general and low priority : "just how far does
the stick
to 4 rather
than 2 space indents
thing goes ?".
mircea_popescu: Framedragger it does ; not from boost ; satoshi'd have written it as a boost
thing im sure
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu:
that is a standard c99 for loop.
Framedragger: is
that from boost? just looks like modern cpp ^
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i
thought it gets inherited. entirely likely i don't comprehend c loading model.
mircea_popescu: is
there
tmsr rule "no further boost constructs added" ?
mircea_popescu: + for (std::map<uint256, std::list<OutputIndex> >::iterator i = relevantOutputs.begin(); i != relevantOutputs.end();) { <<<
took me a
triple
take.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i
thought fstream is already included. no ?
