mod6: yup, still on
target for
this weekend.
mod6: There has been an automated
test added for
this as well.
mod6: Update from yesterday:
The necessary change has been made
to
the forthcoming version of V (99994); if when pressing,
the given output directory already exists, it will be removed,
then will proceed
to press new vtree.
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: guy pretty much explains it all, merkle
tree is a poor hashing scheme by itself.
mircea_popescu: (the people pushing for
the dissolution of
the
thing are just as unprincipled, ftr. mostly a coalition of "payday lenders" ie 2nd generation loan sharks.)
mircea_popescu: nevertheless,
the SOPS have been adamant in rejecting lawsuits against
them.
mircea_popescu: en) and, lulzily,
they came up with a system
to "guess" based on reasons (such as zip codes and last names) who is a black applicant for loans, and
then fined various usg agencies masquerading as banks by
the 100s of millions for
these alleged abuses. and
they got it
too, because settlement culture. and
they didn't, of course, pay as much as a dime
to
the "estimated" victims,
they being you know, "estimated" aka hallucinated,
mircea_popescu: pretty fine example of exactly why warren was so vocal (item was strictly a barony created so elizabeth warren could be barron OF SOMETHING).
this cfpb item spent 55mn on "renovations" of its hq, ie more
than
the gsa spent
that year on everything
the usg owns ; spent immensely on
travel (which is not something
they do).
the chairman is supposed
to not be removable by
the president except "for cause" (meanwhile
that got strick
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: (invented in 2010 among
the boatload of dc-insider-centric pork dodd-frank introduced)
mircea_popescu: aaand in other
trumpreich, looks like
the "consumer financial protection bureau" is going away entirely.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: ^ you can remove
that sig_handler definition from fuckoff.c (as well as
the signal.h #include) fwiw, as
that
that code won't ever be executed
Framedragger: i'm not
too sure why you even needed a handler for HUP, it closes by default
Framedragger: asciilifeform: just fyi confirmed
that in fuckoff.c, sig_handler() code is redundant as
the function is not registered. (adding `signal(SIGHUP, sig_handler);` in main() changes behaviour and fixes
this)
trinque: ben_vulpes: openbsd's package for
the
thing is neutered
to use
the system
Framedragger: asciilifeform: unrelated - re. fuckoff.c, aren't you supposed
to register
that sig_handler()
to kernel first (via invoking signal()) for it
to even work?
trinque: aha,
they'll ignore your system root certs because fuck you
Framedragger: we missed out on quality butthurt because
they have a private safespace channel heh.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i guess
that whole BUTT
thing was moderately entertaining.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes incidentally, ever run into one of
those ?
they're most common on
teh western seaboard.
mircea_popescu: venereal disease is supposed
to
thin one out.
this is shenaniganich.
ben_vulpes: Framedragger:
that's not a nice way
to speak about a girl who's so charitable
mircea_popescu: in other lelz, aparently
trilema ranks for "the forums of
the most serene republic". with
the right article,
too.
Framedragger: ben_vulpes: you may have a point i'faith.
that said, _why_ is she so fat?..
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yer outta
teh loop, you're supposed
to abstract it with
the great framework of jquery, no i mean angular, no i mean backbone, no i mean ember, no i mean react
Framedragger: trinque: hah. only pure unfiltered rage - cleaner
that way
trinque: Framedragger: is it one of
those special places full of sadomasochism and despair?
Framedragger: i personally have a special place in my heart for
the static content websites which refuse
to render a single legible char without heavy javascript. not
that
the rendered
text is full of glorious content, of course
ben_vulpes: what
the FUCK is
the point of javascript if such RETARDS are going
to wield it
ben_vulpes: oh OH and
then while
the little javascripty checkboxes next
to
the fields of pointlessness show green
the ACTUAL POSTBACK VALIDATION FAILS
ben_vulpes: because
that's a constant string in
the universe
ben_vulpes: > what is
the name of your youngest child
pete_dushenski: lol somehow
their cousins and cheap friends weren't enough
to buoy
the whole establishment
Framedragger: pete_dushenski: wait
they had GOOD REVIEWS ON YELP, omg HOW could
they have failed
pete_dushenski: hfcs
trend well underway : "Nobody was predicting what happened in Clarendon in 2016 -- a wave of failures
that amounted
to a local restaurant die-off. Within
the space of a few months, nearly a dozen major restaurants closed
their doors, many of
them well liked by reviewers and locally popular, some of
them fixtures in
the neighborhood going back a decade or more."
Framedragger: "the audience doesn't change, why should
the food change"
mircea_popescu: Framedragger
the eth recipe is apparently un-fucking-escapeable, no matter what. like
the fucking "restaurants" in
the us, which WILL be feeding people HFCS no matter
the fuck what and how it blows up.
Framedragger: well now
that it's fixxord i'm certain it's smooth sailing from here on.
mircea_popescu: * marilyn has quit (Ping
timeout: 258 seconds) << dude... why. srsly nao.
davout: BingoBoingo: feel free
to edit ad lib obviously
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i'll be working on it between a couple of my nodes
this afternoon. got a slave set up. now.... master
mircea_popescu: this is embarqassing,
there's nobody
there. buncha dorks on eg [marilyn] (~androirc@c-68-37-99-241.hsd1.mi.comcast.net): Android IRC Client wtf.
Framedragger: (right,
this is basically *remote* probably-easy way
to make it crash. nice knob.)
Framedragger: is
there a way
to short all
these scamcoins easily? lol.
Framedragger: :D so, if not "thing block",
then CRASH (`assert(0)`)? A
THOUSAND EYES
davout: i'm in
their IRC room for lulz, it's absolutely delicious
davout: so apparently "bitcoin unlimited" nodes are sniped off
the network by some remote-crash bug
trinque: chilly and sunny here in
TX
today, been enjoying it on
the balcony all day.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well with
these
things even a mere 20 km can make a huge difference in
timing
mircea_popescu: that's
the fucking rule. something scares you ? DO IT NOW! now,
that master's here, now
thart you're still young and it heals, now, now, NOW.
mircea_popescu: well obviously.
that's
the idea. do it know while
they are.
mircea_popescu: it would actually be VERY INTERESTING
to have a semantics- unpreserving client. let's see dude, wtf DOES happen ?
a111: Logged on 2017-03-09 20:33 asciilifeform: and incidentally
this will also change
the semantics of
the block-saver, unless somehow kludged around (e.g. via locking)
a111: Logged on 2017-02-22 04:43 asciilifeform: (it'd require, absolutely, removing
the locks. which ~unquantifiably alters
the semantics of
the entire
thing.)
a111: Logged on 2016-12-20 19:16 asciilifeform: which potentially changes
the semantics of EVERYTHING
a111: Logged on 2014-10-22 04:34 asciilifeform: but all
the semantics of original must be preserved,
to begin.
BingoBoingo: Still has required a few resets
to overcome crapolade blackholes, but far less common after passing block 400,000 compared
to 250,000 -350,000 where PRB unordered shit spewing of blocks complicates
things
BingoBoingo: Well node's in August 2016, so made it past
the mp-constipator block
davout: BingoBoingo: welcome
to
the club
BingoBoingo still continuing full sync experiment, less
than 35 kiloblocks
to go. Prolly should have sprung for an SSD.
