asciilifeform: thestringpuller: in that scenario, bitcoin either dies with the last remaining man, or the beloved 'hardfork'.

asciilifeform: (in gedankenexperiment above, 'mine the remaining blocks' oughta be understood to mean 'mine all the blocks with substantial blockreward')

asciilifeform: i really fail to grasp for what, precisely, it is, that we need the possibility of falling difficulty.

asciilifeform: do it to mars before mars - to us!

asciilifeform: to which i say mircea_popescu's sacramental 'don't be poor'

asciilifeform: yes, this means that martians can land, mine the remaining blocks in five minutes, and leave earth a smoking and bitcoinless crater

asciilifeform: difficulty oughta have been defined in relation to the difficulty of the last solved block, solely. ☟︎

asciilifeform: for the record, i think this design is asinine

asciilifeform: because, as mircea_popescu explained earlier, difficulty is defined in relation to wall time

asciilifeform: it was never a measure of time

asciilifeform: what was the ruined dream

asciilifeform: or BingoBoingo

asciilifeform: waiwut

asciilifeform: idk

asciilifeform: advertised in a node userid, '/btko.in:0.11.99/ (70002)'

asciilifeform: https://www.btko.in << anyone ever heard of'em ?

asciilifeform: https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/nodes/?q=/UMD-Coinscope:0.0 << node mentioned much earlier, the one run by the umd dept. of sc4mz4tr0n1cs

asciilifeform: on account of being the only node on the planet that passes the idiots' 70001 filter while ~not having a useragent string~

asciilifeform: in the list

asciilifeform: we are, apparently, the #43 '- (1)'

asciilifeform: nottooshitty: read the thread. it doesn't matter where you put it - it can't be believed

asciilifeform: who wants to make one up - can!

asciilifeform: somehow i missed this, l0l

asciilifeform: apparently we don't even ~have~ a 'useragent' string in 0.5.x

asciilifeform: https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/nodes/?q=/Ender:3.14.15.94 << other lulz (not mine)

asciilifeform: https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/nodes/195.211.154.159-8333 << lulz

asciilifeform: putin, is claimed, was actually on the phone with obama, congratulating, while they buzzed the coast

asciilifeform: http://www.fontanka.ru/2015/07/06/192 << in unrelated nyooz, ru tu-95 bombers helped to celebrate '4th of july' in alaska & california, l0l

asciilifeform: eventually opened with battering ram

asciilifeform: so apparently they had to take the bank by storm. ☟︎

asciilifeform: thinkaboutit

asciilifeform: there can be no useful immediate response

asciilifeform: it takes a standard POST

asciilifeform: no api needed

asciilifeform: mats: correct

asciilifeform: the dough was found in bank boxes, wouldn't even fit in the vault, was stored all over the place

asciilifeform: tried to suppress abortion, even (a laughable nonstarter in ru) and 'fight alcoholism', etc, etc.

asciilifeform: the bugger was an infamous 'moralist'

asciilifeform: !up nottooshitty

asciilifeform: 400 m rubles (about 7 mn in u.s.)

asciilifeform: nm, 100

asciilifeform: http://www.fontanka.ru/2015/07/06/022 << russian member of parliament busted, had 400 kg (!) of currency

asciilifeform: in other nyooz that you will never read in english,

asciilifeform: run moar winblowz!

asciilifeform: mats: tried it on the non-winblowz one ?

asciilifeform: (one which is not, is worse than useless)

asciilifeform: the chart ~must~ be semantically correct. this is not negotiable

asciilifeform: (when listing its 'who calls')

asciilifeform: and unable to distinguish between functions of same name in different classes ☟︎

asciilifeform: but then learned that it is retarded

asciilifeform: thought about using the output of 'lxr'

asciilifeform: on demand.

asciilifeform: i want a chart that i can regenerate.

asciilifeform: no

asciilifeform: decimation: please see above!

asciilifeform: because i won't be running it. ☟︎

asciilifeform: i am definitely not interested in the output of any proprietary, closed (esp. winblowz) proggy that produces c++ callgraphs

asciilifeform: and before anybody asks,

asciilifeform: neither of which is useful to me

asciilifeform: and inheritance graph

asciilifeform: only #include graph

asciilifeform: i don't see call graph...

asciilifeform: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15458738/create-a-call-graph-for-a-file-with-clang

asciilifeform: phf ?

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes ?

asciilifeform: anybody got a clang build?

asciilifeform: but this functionality is deliberately not brought out to 'libraryizable' form, for reasons discussed in earlier threads re: rms

asciilifeform: i mean, yes, gcc turns cpp into an ast

asciilifeform: why?

asciilifeform: (for this reason)

asciilifeform: total waste of time. ☟︎

asciilifeform: i just tried 'egypt'

asciilifeform: sure do.

asciilifeform: dynamic graphs are useful for certain kinds of work, but is more or less the opposite of what i need here.

asciilifeform: or, in the case of dynamic graphs, may omit some corner case which didn't get hit

asciilifeform: i can't use a graph which contains munged names or misses virtual functions.

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: useless here

asciilifeform: leaving - afaik - NOTHING at all.

asciilifeform: as is kcachegrind, openpat, amd's codeanalyst, and makeppgraph.

asciilifeform: which means that 'gprof' callgraph is out

asciilifeform: at least ~i~ don't

asciilifeform: the other thing is that we DON'T NEED A DYNAMIC CALLGRAPH FOR ANYTHING !!!!

asciilifeform: unrelated: folks competing for mircea_popescu's 1 btc prize for therealbitcoin callgraph can strike 'egypt' utility off the list. it is a worthless pile of shit, which produces worthless piles of shit (at least for cpp proggy) ☟︎

asciilifeform is aware of the 'leap second' bullshit

asciilifeform: (which is the actual iso std)

asciilifeform: epoch time is more related to cesium time

asciilifeform: entirely separate problem from the one we have

asciilifeform: decimation: my pogo didn't come with a gimbal telescope; did yours ?

asciilifeform: ?

asciilifeform: chainph0rk never prospers, for the reason, that if it prospers, none dare call it treason (tm) (r)

asciilifeform: ditto for their radio 'ufo', which i bitched about but then got 'openwrt' running on it

asciilifeform: 100% uptime since i first plugged it in

asciilifeform: routes at something quite like line speed;

asciilifeform: freebsd

asciilifeform: comment on what

asciilifeform: wai wut
