BingoBoingo: Consider McCain's lover Lindsey Graham went from being a shy boy to becoming Trump's biggest cheerleader after cancer won the war on McCain.
BingoBoingo: Not particularly. Jeff Sessions as a pick largely served to keep the old wing of the GOP happy.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: With the Senate solidly his it removes a check on Trump's ability to act without constraint.
asciilifeform: it aint even as if sending text over a wire were new! fucking 1850s tech!
asciilifeform: it's a screaming anachronism, imho
a111: Logged on 2018-10-31 15:54 asciilifeform: the problem faced by even fella with a first-class head, when buying 'crypto iron', is a 9000x hypertrophied instance of the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-30#1867790 boojum -- to know what he's getting, he is stuck with much ~harder~ problem than even original maker had in making the artifact to begin with !
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-07#1870044 << that being said, afaik there simply does not exist a non-tard product in that niche ☝︎
asciilifeform: you'd have to get'em into a raccoon trap or sumthing
asciilifeform: i'm almost curious what it's actually like to meet these 'people'. in a room. even without 16 bottles.
mircea_popescu: but imo a fine illustration of the degree, structure, magnitude and physiology of "broken" in the "citizen of free world & open society" aka "useless fucktard headed for redditbagging".
mircea_popescu: hey, it's a tv emulator for a reason right.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform whatever it is, but the fact their "tool" cuts most of the world out is, according to them, a legitimate complaint to bring UPON THE WORLD.
asciilifeform: recall the ancient usenet lul: went something like 'exam. in 8 minutes a hungry tiger will be admitted to exam room. you will find the 11 parts of the rifle under your desk. any questions'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they literally do not understand that their phone cutting random shit off webpages to fit it IS A BUG OF THEIR PHONE.
mircea_popescu: it's ever fascinating, how DEEPLY and ~UNTOUCHABLY!!!~ implanted in twentysomething skulls this notion is that they "must have a fair opportunity" according to ~their~ definition of fairness.
asciilifeform: tuica is a++ smooth, asciilifeform attests
mircea_popescu: in other similar news, i tell you nothing's quite like nursing a hangover with teh online world. bought 16 bottles of fine bordeaux yest, partied with naked girls, to the degree of fucking the same one in the ass twice in the same evening (anal queen this chick jayssu) and so on.
BingoBoingo: Also maybe they have a lot of undercover folk and CIs in renvenue generating positions (DEA style) they don't want off'd
mircea_popescu: keks, so basically the dutch are gonna arrest a whole lotta politicians and other momstate items, and they're advertising this so as to avoid embarassment of bitchslapfest ?
asciilifeform: q is whether can 'restore virginity' and load in new config; and whether this is actually easier than simply soldering on a fresh one
asciilifeform: i have nfi if ice's thing boosts longevity, chances are their 'OTP' is implemented the same way as errybody else's, nowadays, simply a nonwindowed EPROM.
asciilifeform: potentially saves a coupla bux on board cost, at the very least.
mircea_popescu: "take code make it readable". incomprehensible to me why is not a clearly delineated function of code processors. obviously shouild be, much in the vein of yest "fix your terminal" discussions
mircea_popescu: this is actually a pretty good spec for a... well basically a "compiler for web" as opposed to "compiler for machine"
asciilifeform: ultimately also would want individual tokens to be linkable, a la lxr .
asciilifeform: phf: the default view ( http://www.loper-os.org/pub/ffa/hypertext/ch11/ ) of gnathtml gives you a frames thing with ~worthless alphabetic index in the left pane. really it oughta show 'where currently clicked symbol used' imho
phf: since that will show you both where defined and where used. a bit less "smart" than gnathtml, but possibly more useful
phf: simplest form of "link to where" can be essentially a grep through all the files (which i think is how lxr used to do it)
phf: well, no, colorize, when it does its colorizing, has to know a bit about identifiers and tokens and such. so hooking in this case involves getting some information from colorize that says "i got an identifier FOO, give me back a link to where it should link"
asciilifeform: i can live without colorized src. but really readers oughta be able to click on a token and see where it is defined.
asciilifeform: 3) -l1 turns on line numbering; -I adds paths to the libraryisms ; -p takes a file containing src_dir=. gpr_file=ffa_calc.gpr .
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile over here a lot of the longer shelf life imported items in Tienda Inglesa and Devoto have stickers with the local mandatory information stuck on labels printed for the Venezualan market
BingoBoingo: None of the vehicles in the six car garage work for a want of parts
asciilifeform: astonishingly strong, too -- chain the tube to a fence, and some % of the time he'll walk away with the fence plank + tube
asciilifeform: raccoon -- crazy-smart , for a vermin, knows what a door is, knows sound of rifle bolt, even (i shit thee not) will defuse traps with sticks etc
BingoBoingo: And if you do put them into a plumbed "modern city" you get Buenos Aires or Montevideo
mircea_popescu: that'd be strategy. platoons generally are you know, a dozen or two rural yahoos and a coupla staff sargeants
mircea_popescu: cuz that's the mystery here, mom discourages the more active, smarter, better kids. and feeds the shitiest most. dun matter if she's a sow, pushing the better kids away from her tit with foreleg so the runts can also get some, or mother inca.
asciilifeform: 'napoleon in asylum' joke used to be a staple, but i noticed i dun see it often any moar
mircea_popescu: so, yes. socialism necessary stage. parthenogenesis follows orthogenesis, and vice versa, and yes for a stage in kids life there's need for socialist mother-led environment. and for peoples, too.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform http://trilema.com/2011/povestea-celor-trei-imparati-smecheri-si-a-celor-trei-negustori-fraieri-fabula-in-versuri-ilustrata/ << kings.
mircea_popescu still can't forget, during his visit in a troglodyte "best part of" nicaragua, how the socialist party organized event centerpiece was some moron singing "con dinero o sin dinery yo siguo siendo el rey" bla bla bla
mircea_popescu: the whole usgistan thing is a ~necessary~ solvent for the otherwise even-more-imbecile "nation of kings" bullshit. ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( very sadly, there is not a vhdl eater for ice40. but when looking over subj 2w ago, i actually came to like vhdl, it's ~exactly ada syntax. )
mircea_popescu: "the relatively easy circumstances of life in paris as compared to the rural provinces has given rise to a class of vagrants (that'd be technically bums, as they do not seek to work) which makes it important that shopkeepers put out free food and there's a voting process so some of these can be given the key to the king's treasury periodically".
mircea_popescu: "The complexity of ASIC and FPGA designs has meant an increase in the number of specialist design consultants with specific tools and with their own libraries of macro and mega cells written in either VHDL or Verilog. As a result, it is important that designers know both VHDL and Verilog and that EDA tools vendors provide tools that provide an environment allowing both languages to be used in unison."
mircea_popescu: can you form a notion of the feeling of loss ?
mircea_popescu: "Gülen has suggested the coup was in fact a "self-coup" carried out by Erdoğan to consolidate his grip on power, a belief shared among some analysts and many Turks." ie, "by many '''analystis'''' and no turks".
mircea_popescu: and for a twelve year old GIRL, the "i know you are but what am i!" "strategy" is all the world.
mircea_popescu: because they're mentally twleve, and because their "city on a hill" has been going downhill ever since http://trilema.com/2017/when-did-america-end/ slash they took over, whenever that was. in 1920, for all the diff it makes.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-06 16:06 mircea_popescu: meanwhile in continuing fake news lulz : "On 15 July 2016, a coup d'état was attempted in Turkey against state institutions, including the government and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.[38] The attempt was carried out by a faction within the Turkish Armed Forces that organized themselves as the Peace at Home Council." << so totally not organized by the same desperate & dying pantsuited hilarity dept of state faction that al
mircea_popescu: (and no, eminently NOT "the question is being put to you". because that's the fucking meaning of "offer you can't refuse", also transliterated as "fate took a hand" and so on -- there's two kinds of questions. the kind that goes "would you like waffles for breakfast" is NOT "also a question just like" the kind that goes "would you like to go to qatar". some questions are put to you ; but then again sometimes you are put to so
a111: Logged on 2018-09-19 16:22 mircea_popescu: think of the whole opposability angle, will you. 1. alf : "your summaries suck" 2. bimbo "master, is this true ?" now i'm stuck. i'm not going to do a 3.b. "yes, because i like him" and i can't do a 3.a. "yes, because ~SOMETHING~" as the something's an undefined symbol.
mircea_popescu: (but since the parallel was underlined, let's underline another bit of lulz : ye http://trilema.com/2018/the-republic-without-mp/ aspirants of the future, i ask you now : can ~you~ quote as the word of god things you said not "many many years ago" but THE FIRST LINES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!!! as you were sorta-kinda examining a thing that at the time seemed entirely unimportant to you ? because yes that's the fucking standard, not
mircea_popescu: so arranged for a new saudi boss that promptly fucked the peninsula for them, etcetera.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in continuing fake news lulz : "On 15 July 2016, a coup d'état was attempted in Turkey against state institutions, including the government and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.[38] The attempt was carried out by a faction within the Turkish Armed Forces that organized themselves as the Peace at Home Council." << so totally not organized by the same desperate & dying pantsuited hilarity dept of state faction that al ☟︎
mircea_popescu: eh, whatever. the history of mankind on earth chiefly consists of a string of "couldn't find way out of paper bag, died next to coconut tree" and so on. why should qatar be special.
Mocky: who could have predicted a used "general cool" ac would prove unreliable
BingoBoingo: Which would have been a shame because it appeared to be a fine energetic young pupper
BingoBoingo: So, during beach walk tonight one of the locals nearly lost a young ~30 pound pit bull
asciilifeform: iirc was originally sold by the same folx who baked http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-08#1859348 item; but naodays chinese, dime a dozen ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( subj, for the innocent , is simply this thing, a sheet of chemical strange that turns green when you push on it with plastic stake 'pencil', and takes a watch battery, so that when you hit red button it turns black again )
mod6: I dunno, I love to start on a clean board when thinking through things. Otherwise my brain feels some how cluttered.
asciilifeform: pretty much a mechanized version of the wax tablets folx used 300yrs ago
mod6: interesting. I would have guessed you for a slate + chalk stick like prof at U.
mod6: Yeah, I bought a giant whiteboard just for that purpose.
mod6: asciilifeform: nice. I really need to get to that. I kinda went through a lot of it while you were working on it - but I really wanna sit down and work through each chapter. Got other things on the stack first tho.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's a something-or-other '-of-women-voters' in usa but afaik it's a straight dnc skin
mircea_popescu: (perhaps pointing out how "the international women's guild" trying to get a sort of geneva convention going banning 4ever and ever smoking^H^H^H^H i mean rape^H^H^H^H using black soldiers in europe never got anywhere worth a chuckle. they didn't believe women back in the [other] 20s or what was it, helga the rhine rivetteer couldn't do it.)
mircea_popescu: which... gimme a fucking break. for one thing, socialist moron. for the other, i have spare tyres that can write better.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-30 13:07 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-30#1867432 << thinking about it, yes i agree the jew-nazi has a more colorful life story. but think about it : his entire's life work, his sum total accomplishment, is being an aide to an obscure publisher of inconsequential tracts. this is exactly danielpbarron 's position, and it ain't much. that florida beauty queen had them beat, for instance, and she had them beat a) in her 20s, while these
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's a completely textbook case, aha, of 'we pulled on the duct tape and after 2 tonnes of pull it comes off'
bvt: what i have fished out trying to solve the problem is that only a subset of restrictions should be contagious
asciilifeform: i.e. when gnat fails to deliver this, it is properly speaking a gnat bug.
asciilifeform: it isn't actually practical, as i currently understand, to build a large, nontrivial proggy with all of the restrict pragmas switched on.
asciilifeform: ( what 'genericism' does in ada, is to force the compiler to rebuild a copy of the lib for erry time the exported type is invoked in the caller. at which point may as well tell user to drop the src into his, rather than link the lib, the effect is the same )
asciilifeform: ( it's not a wholly useless thing, i dun have it in current ffa but my 1st draft used it to wipe all data on the stack erry time it goes out of scope )
asciilifeform: i dun have a pill for this yet
bvt: so far i had a look only in the runtime, but never looked into the gcc part
asciilifeform did quite a bit of gnat sores archaeology dig
asciilifeform: bvt: it's structured the way it is, for a reason
BingoBoingo: For want of a LISP machine... we are on track for a fascist superMIPs with bignum coprocessor before the end of Trump's second term.
asciilifeform: really calls for a deep dig into the sores.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-26 02:14 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in gnat bugs : apparently ( and this is documented or mentioned nowhere ) : it is impossible to have a Ada.Finalization.Limited_Controlled type ANYWHERE inside a static library, unless it is generic all the way down (i.e. if the lib package is generic, any sub-packages must also be instantiated as generics )
BingoBoingo: In other heathen headlines: Apparently Llamas (as opposed to alpacas) might have the proteins necessary for a universal flu vaccine
bvt: otoh, when i added a single line 'package SIO is new Ada.Sequential_IO(Positive);' to ffa_calc.adb, it errored out during the compilation in the same way
bvt: when i moved all ada.S_IO usage to a separate package/file, everything worked fine
a111: Logged on 2018-10-28 05:02 mircea_popescu: i have 0 expectation it will do anythingf besides create a lot of idle wank in "law enforcement" circles.
asciilifeform: ( a la http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-28#1866864 ) ☝︎
bvt: No_Unchecked_Access is such restriction; i have tested a dummy application that does nothing but import and instantiate/specialize Ada.Sequential_IO instance for the datatype from base64 library. test application fails to compile, http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/Vwno8/?raw=true http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/qgs7E/?raw=true
bvt: i have structured the base64 tree as a directory with a library and example applications; only library is supposed to be compiled with restrictions, but some restrictions propagate to applications as well
bvt: i had a look in the .ali file, where presumably list of dependencies for a compiled .adb file is stored, but grep would find nothing in the dependencies
bvt: hello. i had to delay making a genesis of base64 lib, will try to finish tomorrow.
BingoBoingo: So, quite a bit
asciilifeform: ( prolly is a http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-03#1869074 ) ☝︎
Mocky: but when I watch it back I see that I softened my criticisms a lot
Mocky: just got back from blockchain event. I told them their ideas of humanity 3.0 governed by blockchain smart contracts was a delusion. And then critcized both the ethereum-roll-backers and the ethereum-continue-with-broken-shit
a111: Logged on 2018-11-05 09:56 diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-04#1869273 - a config file seems the better choice, yes; I'll add it to the list to move the keys to a config file and update the tests to read from config file; that should actually meet asciilifeform's requirements too since the code will not contain the >80cols lines (although the config files will, of course)
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-05#1869503 -> and done; asciilifeform and anyone else requiring strictly 80 cols - I've updated the post with a .vpatch to read the keys from file and thus keep them out of the fully-80-cols-now code itself: http://ossasepia.com/2018/11/04/smg-comms-chapter-6-packing-and-unpacking-rsa/#selection-157.0-159.591 ☝︎
