mircea_popescu: i've had enough of boy coding to last me five generations of myself.
mircea_popescu: that's what i would like it to mean. "this was coded by a girl" should be the indication that if i follow the fucking thing, i get the intended result. NOT some error message.
mircea_popescu: anyway. why can't "coding like a girl" mean you write good documentation, for instance ?
mircea_popescu: ie, it takes you longer, perhaps infinitely long, to mature.
mircea_popescu: girlhood's something you hopefully grow out of. failure to grow out of it is the definition of retardation.
mircea_popescu: no dude, not heartbreakingly. the only human dumb enough to imagine girlhood's right is the girl in question.
mircea_popescu: "Heartbreakingly, at some age, we become convinced that doing anything like a girl means that you are doing it ineffectively, wimpily, and in a way that can’t be taken seriously at all."
mircea_popescu: was just going after the math angle of it for a second
mircea_popescu: for bonus points, offer preference criterion (would A or B be more beneficial if added to the set)
mircea_popescu: in practice the mix operation is cheap and the decay operation expensive.
mircea_popescu: (the problem, ftr, is : you get a set of tools, with arbitrary durability. you can mix any set (which floor-averages), and decay any individual tool (fixed rate). make a collection of 9 with durabilities from 1 to 9)
mircea_popescu: actually this'd prollybe interesting to our very own gabriel_laddel too.
mircea_popescu: (probably ideal usage of lisp, check me out phf im doing lisp girls coach over here!)
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron you got the actual function to select optimal usage/mixage of tools given a set ?
mircea_popescu: well, asciilifeform would say it is, sure. but there's levels in triviality.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron prolly should publishe the whole thing monday. it's not a trivial math problem
mircea_popescu: in fact - pretty much everything in the "received knowledge" of jews is hysterically counter-realistic to anyone who has you know, actually travelled.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, the jew, coptic and muslim groups crossed borders, too!
mircea_popescu: and seeiong how their lyra was at the time ~a quarter, i expect they got the value of txn just about precisely enough to be usable in bitcoin
mircea_popescu: and the other guy would sell me whatever and then pass the original guy a bill or two.
mircea_popescu: i'd go into a shop, ask for something. shop owner would run me off to a different shop (i kid you not, leave his thing, wide open, whatever - nobody steals in arabworld apparently)
mircea_popescu: one of the funniest things i saw in egypt was the following thing :
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron so you actually got teh tools for sunday ?
mircea_popescu: frenchie gets it quite exactly, we're at that creepy stalking phase atm
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i doubt the scamfoundation/obsolete bitcoind will be resurectable on the mid term.
mircea_popescu: "The ability to answer all sorts of questions in a beginner-friendly way (even if that means the explanation isn’t technically precise)"
mircea_popescu: dirty in the eyes of the hunchback protestant microgod.
mircea_popescu: sad that they've gotten us girls so ashamed of cupcakes by now it gotta be a "tasting", it can't be just you know, EATING
mircea_popescu: you'll get more women in tech by making tech more like birthing class.
mircea_popescu: for they ion the know : i got a pile of specialty chocolates here, and i will win the fight!
mircea_popescu: they should have gasenwagen'd you when they had the chance, eh ?
mircea_popescu: it's no emergency really, if its in by the next halving it's soon enough.
mircea_popescu: in fact it may actually be more productive for nearby miner to mine based off our nodes than the stupid shit the chinese do currenty
mircea_popescu: in any case : reasonable bw, fee paying no bs txn is a very hard to beat prop, ev wise.
mircea_popescu: heck, last month i was a good chunk of coinbase too, because of that buysellads failed experiment.
mircea_popescu: im currently about 1/3 the reason bitpay even stays in business, fwiw (not much).
mircea_popescu: for instance : i will be putting all my txn out through my own nodes, once this exists.
mircea_popescu: suppose we're in the park. "throw the crumbs over there" "but the birds won't see them" "doesn't matter, we're the only things that matter here" "but we don't cluck"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: us maniacs are really all that matters, in the grander scheme of things.
mircea_popescu: because, as they say in omaha, "you're smart and i'm right, you'll figure it out"
mircea_popescu: it leads to the following game theoretical situation : want your node to be well connected ? simply tell IT your decent fee paying txn.
mircea_popescu: well what i was thinking was the converse (shuttering those who fail to provide acceptable txn, in sufficient proportion)
mircea_popescu: i think this is one of those situation where suboptimal wins. let us "lose", i'll take the loss.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and not fucking all comers costs the female, too.
mircea_popescu: moreover, random is what spwaned forth the incredible complexity of life.
mircea_popescu: (original design was to simply shutter all connecting peers that fail to provide good $$$ txn, in some sort of %)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: im too lazy to dig through the logs. but yes, your thing's the winner.
mircea_popescu: course earlier today was like the 4th restatement, and i am not known for improved expression over time.
mircea_popescu: (contrary to what superficial students of history may surmise, i did mean the background ones)
mircea_popescu: alpalp i don't think b-a was ever too impressed with the guy.
