assbot: Sa facem un test on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1lY02HG )

BingoBoingo: Test all the children: "While the old ISAT test often saw as many as 95 percent of students meeting or exceeding standards, the highest-scoring school in St. Clair, Madison, Monroe or Clinton counties was Damiansville Elementary in Clinton County, with a proficiency score of 69.2 percent, and the lowest-performing school was Lovejoy Elementary in Brooklyn with a proficiency rate of zero."
ascii_field: (if it was - then the decay rate was quite easy to test from day 1)
nubbins`: TBF there's nothing inherently wrong with digitally-printed books, if having the book stand the test of time isn't a requirement
BingoBoingo: This is in contrast to: "We had one huge manlet of a kid in junior high. 14 years old probably 300+ pounds at about 5'4. We all hated the kid not just because he was fat and stunk like shit, he was a massive nerd and a complete prick. Some shitlord brought up the fact that he smells so bad because he probably can't fit in the shower, so we took a pink highlighter, not a permanent marker, and highlighted his arm to test the bathing
mod6: hoping to test it with the required packages in a test dir on the foundation site this weekend.
nubbins`: hand-printed on test print paper
mircea_popescu: anyway, that ilyia piece is not half bad. (i always liked the guy, as he passes the silences test). let's take the first paragraph :
adlai hazards a guess that most anything c++ doesn't pass the "worth killing trees to print" test
adlai chalks this up to the comparative truthiness of the two test
adlai: it doesn't rank well on the brick test, but gets almost perfect marks in pg's http://paulgraham.com/diff.html
BingoBoingo: Well, for that you test with single sided dice.
ascii_field: 'In a 2012 newsletter column, NSA's SIGINT Philosopher, Jacob Weber, tells us his vision. After failing an NSA lie-detector test, he says: 'I found myself wishing that my life would be constantly and completely monitored. It might seem odd that a self-professed libertarian would wish an Orwellian dystopia on himself, but here was my rationale: If people knew a few things about me, I might seem
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-11-2015#1332830 << the proper test of this is to jettison ~whole~ mempool in a running node and demonstrate that not only not crashes, but consistent operation from that point forward ☝︎
PeterL: well, wanting to test it and having the ability to test it are two separate things
mod6: (added an automated test for this, passed.)
asciilifeform: continually developing and testing new product experiences,” the spokeswoman said in a statement. “This is a test we're running for a small number of Yahoo Mail users.”'
pete_dushenski: "The [British] Air Force has been forced to write off a brand new $115million gunship after a pilot accidentally flew it upside down, according to a report. The AC-130J Ghostrider gunship was taking part in a training mission over the Gulf of Mexico in April this year having taken off from Elgin Air Force Base, officials said. The pilot, from 413th Flight Test Squadron, was taking part in a 'sideslip' maneuver when h
asciilifeform: scalia's verdict concerned 'dna test'
phf: well, in that respect cmucl is a decent litmus test. every single package that fails to load from quicklisp (named-readtables is the recent offender) turns out to be a turd on a closer inspection
pete_dushenski: http://www.gq.com/story/president-obama-bill-simmons-interview-gq-men-of-the-year << for anyone who wants to test efficacy of their emergency gasmask.
BingoBoingo: I guess someone put the "bulletproof" to the test.
BingoBoingo: From the same zoo: "The title says it all. My ladyfriend wants baby but skipped a cycle on mast and eq. Does this sound right? Should she stick to test c?" << That baby is going to be born with a bigger dick than its father
BingoBoingo: There's this odd cognitive dissonance in internet drug users where they will make an earnest effort to derp about the medical mineutia that distinguishes very similar compounds, yet they will rarely get a $20 rapid test to make sure the compound they are about to consume is actually what they anticipate consuming
assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 22:40:42; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1324119 << there is a very strict limit for testing, specifically that you can't test without reagent, and the reagent must react with something. ergo every single substance tested requires some blood. you can't take eight pints out of athletes, much less infinity pints, so you can't test for infinity things.
phf: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1510.08555.pdf "Why Johnny Still, Still Can’t Encrypt: Evaluating the Usability of a Modern PGP Client". wtf is the point of these "studies"? "We elected to test Mailvelope, a modern PGP tool, for our study. Mailvelope is a browser extension that integrates with users’ webmail systems." "Participants were allocated sixty minutes to com- plete the study, with about 35-40 minutes spent using Mail- velope."

BingoBoingo: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1324238 << Generally they do urine. But yes can't test for infinity things, but testers only need to go to reddit to discover which research chemicals the kids are eating as "dietary supplements." There's actually a range of chemicals called SARMS going through pre-clinical to Phase III trials as drugs being sold as supplements. God bless China. ☝︎

asciilifeform: actually t was courted by, iirc, high-test gurlz
asciilifeform did not go and take 'the test'
mircea_popescu: sure, sure. how much do you want to bet that won't be on the test.
mod6: whaack: hi, yeah thanks for asking. 'v.pl' could certainly use some testing help. additionally, when I get my rotor+v script finished (hopefully soon), will have that to test as well.
shinohai still needs an SSD to test on, uses cruddy lappy drives.
punkman: question is, does nobody test the things before making a full factory run
mircea_popescu: publish a prototype, im sure alf will be more than happy to look through it, plenty other people will test it etc.
assbot: BIP 101 has activated on the testnet. Need your help to test large blocks. : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1NkNVLn )
asciilifeform: 'test can prove the presence of bugs, but never their absence' -- vladimir ilich knuthikstra
ascii_field: they won't package or test or guarantee so much as 1 working unit.
ascii_field has a very distinct feeling, prompted by last night's thread, that he is failing a kind of economic iq test
asciilifeform: used to 'test' stolen cc #s.
mod6: yeah, wanna test it a bit more before.. but by the end of the weekend for sure.
mircea_popescu: ng to do with addiction. The reinforcement is from the outside to comply with this idiocy: say you party down one weekend, then a random drug test at work, oops! So two things can happen, Guess What Happens Next: you could tell the truth that the coke was on her ass and how could you not? doesn't make you a bad person; or pretend/admit you're an addict and agree to go to rehab. So it's unanimous? You keep your job
mod6: ok i've resolved that issue asciilifeform, I'll test on it for a few days and probably post a new version this coming weekend.
ascii_field: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/phoronix/phoronix-test-suite/819180-gnupg-update-needed-build-failure-with-gcc
shinohai: btw it compiled on that old Ubuntu server I always test on too ... same as deb smooth as butter
adlai: trinque: actually the more helpful line in the linked file is #L349, although the most correctest test would be sighash-aware
shinohai: I know I'm behind mod6 but I am hoping by mid next week to get the Ubuntu test done I promised.
mircea_popescu: should be part of the test. no sexual history, no meds.

phf: "There are some uncontrolled variables which may have affected the validity of the experimental results. One of these was students’ previous programming experience. We noticed that some of the students who already had a few years of programming experience achieved high scores in their test, but scored somewhat low on conscientiousness. They were strong programmers with appropriate knowledge and know-how of programming as compared with
phf: " Programming abilities were quantified using an objective performance test (e.g.,number of errors in the program code); subjective evaluations of individual’s coding proficiency were not included."
phf: trinque: adlai: tried cl-irc, turned off my wifi until the test nick was disconnected on freenode's end, and connectedp still returns T on the cl-irc end << cl-irc is a thin layer on top of irc protocol, so connection state is something you have to handle yourself. connectedp simply queries underlying stream for whether it's still formally open. you have to setup mechanism (say a separate thread) to send PING to the server at a regular

funkenstein_: really inexcusable i didn't find that with test before submission
mircea_popescu: IF we are ever going to do this, THIS is the place to test it.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-10-2015#1307976 << this looks spiffy but what is a cucumber test ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-10-2015#1307622 << i never grasped this custom: why is it necessary to buy $item the day it comes out? let the other schmucks test...? ☝︎

mats: whaddya mean? lab test?
trinque: adlai: tried cl-irc, turned off my wifi until the test nick was disconnected on freenode's end, and connectedp still returns T on the cl-irc end
ascii_field: what's the roi of this week's 'minuteman' rocket test ?
adlai offers two test-cases for this "style guide" (lol)
mircea_popescu: jesus fucking christ this is going to be my go-to test-taking optimization example from now on.
assbot: Air Force Test-Launches Minuteman Missile From California « CBS Los Angeles ... ( http://bit.ly/1M6TtIh )
ascii_field: speaking of americans, http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2015/10/21/air-force-test-launches-minuteman-missile-from-california
asciilifeform: funkenstein_: and how did you test ?
BingoBoingo: But yeah. Easy way for someone who wants to test their outrage organ to try a qntra.
asciilifeform: e.g., http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-10-2015#1298782 needs a good test. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and otherwise... let's do a test to see if it comes out the way we want it to here it is it did!!11
pete_dushenski: ascii_field: that's basically 'vw emissions test protocol'
pete_dushenski: maybe if you were completely unfamiliar with the scifi genre, such as it is (asimov, heinlein, clarke, etc.) then it might pass the sniff test. but good god did i find it offensively bad. just spoonfeeding the viewer like they were fresh out of the womb.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: last i saw, the u.s. left loves dna test. so long as it is mainly used to exonerate blacks
mircea_popescu: the test to might is phenomena not theory.
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-10-2015#1294588 << independent test numbers are already cropping up. "fixed" cars are ~10% slower in 0-60mph AND have ~10% worse fuel economy. ☝︎
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: and when you get sc4mz0r3d, take wrong pill, croak, does your ghost negrate the test house ?
BingoBoingo proposes Illinois emissions test challenge. Illinois emissions test depends entirely on OBD-II output. Make a vehicle pass while plainly emitting clouds of soot.
mod6: yeah. i mean, "cucumber automated test that surrounds (gives coverage to) the press function"
mod6: sweet, V code is basically complete. one remaining test left to write surrouding 'press' (shouldn't take long), then just documentation to write about the thing.
assbot: Bitpay payments not being paid " invalid transaction associated to this invoice as a result of the stress test" : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1Gv4VvQ )
ascii_field: my current understanding is that usg has been specifically squeezing diesel heat users - they get untaxed fuel that is theoretically usable in trucks, and folks often 'cheat'. it has a colouring agent, and in parts of usa where this type of heater is common, policemen will often dip a wooden stick into a truck's tank to test for cheat
ascii_field: phun phakt (at least in latvia, but prolly in other baltic nazi pissholes) - 'demooocracy' was installed in slightly peculiar form - with language test
assbot: SSL Server Test: irs.gov (Powered by Qualys SSL Labs) ... ( http://bit.ly/1j3MJEQ )
assbot: Logged on 30-09-2015 14:51:53; mod6: So, if I make a test-release.vpatch to tie up the leafs for what we have in "v0.5.4-TEST2" or what we're calling "v0.5.4" then it ties up "asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option.vpatch" and "asciilifeform_maxint_locks_corrected.vpatch". If your patches are added after that, they become leafs along with the "test-release.vpatch".

ascii_field: apparently you can, similar to microshit's 'test mode'
assbot: Vitalik Buttering, author of Ethereum, cannot even figure out how to give out beta test rewards with his own smart contracts, so opts for manual copypasting of Reddit comments with random hex digits in them instead. : Buttcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1h6pg3Y )
assbot: 3d-test.ogv - Google Drive ... ( http://bit.ly/1FAvRPC )
pete_dushenski: wonder how it's stood the test of time
assbot: [BTC-dev] Some test patches and my V implementation ... ( http://bit.ly/1NZjGPg )
mod6: asciilifeform: ok, done this now. created 'test-release.vpatch' which has incoming edges from all current leaves; this was a decent test for my code too.
shinohai will test cukes as necessary ....
pete_dushenski: funkenstein_: vw is under investigation for 'studying to the test' atm. i'm sure they'll be slapped with a big ol' fine by usg and then watch their sales fall by 10-20%
pete_dushenski: ary. The vehicle could otherwise interpret the test procedure as a dangerous situation or malfunction, activating traction control or stability control. By enabling a test mode, the vehicle will be able to operate during the test process. Once the test is complete and the car is restarted, the car reverts to its normal function. And once the cars are in on-the-road mode, nitrogen oxide levels increased by 10 to
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'direction' here is not in the sense of 'chemist knows the effect' - as i described in earlier threads, the models are shoddier than pretty much anyone involved in that racket is willing to admit in public. i was speaking in the sense of what usg permits to be fed to people, for test, and thereafter sold
asciilifeform: among the pua folks, this is known as 'shit test'
