mircea_popescu: fetlife is hiring, vice is hiring, erryone's hiring. we might even make the gdp go up
mircea_popescu: nubbins` can you imagine the increase in demand for competent web engineers we've caused this year alone ?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` frankly i'm moderately surprised anyone even reads vice at all. readership >= 1 is already above par.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck washes things by hand in cold water. what is this, slavegirl concentration camp ?!
mircea_popescu: sort-of like a guy in a mma fight being beaten to death with his own, broken arms.
mircea_popescu: lol. kinda hard to beat me up with my own fucking words eh.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` "divisors" are only defined for some numbers.
mircea_popescu: this, of course, after the current glut is processed, which estimatively should take about a month o.O
mircea_popescu: mike_c it'll please you to know that a) we're going to be setting up daily batch processing of new keys, so people failing to find theirs should be rare ; b) making better 404 page, mostly to indicate this fact.
mircea_popescu: it means it has the factor of 1 in common with other keys.
mircea_popescu: only marginally interesting outside of the strong set.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform these are endemic, they come and go, it's a lot like stop-go traffic.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller except there is absolutely no need to eli5, because 5 yolds can not be involved in bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: heads may roll, yes, metaphorically or factually, yes. this shit is not happening.
mircea_popescu: if there is any certainty about "bitcoin future" at hte present time, it is that there will not be a block size increase in the next 12 months.
mircea_popescu: i am ever thankful to the idiots that do very idiotic things. like that vice article. like this tipping of hand.
mircea_popescu: within the next 12 months and which allows Bitcoin to keep growing."
mircea_popescu: "What I don't see from you yet is a *specific and credible plan* that fits
mircea_popescu: "didn't happen in bezzle-land, didn't happen at all. icbc trades on pink sheets. world exists in my asshole"
mircea_popescu: startups, or volunteers who don't have millions in venture capital to play
mircea_popescu: be, but significant numbers of users are running programs developed by tiny
mircea_popescu: "Firstly, no, the "Bitcoin ecosystem" is not well funded. Blockstream might
mircea_popescu: have bitcoin declared a "public service" or right or whatever by congress, get obamabitcoin and all that jazz. make the MIT shitheads, google etc all fat and giggly.
mircea_popescu: I disagree. When the money supply eventually dwindles I doubt it will be fee pressure that funds mining
mircea_popescu: > pressure, and that blocks be relatively consistently full or very nearly
mircea_popescu: > Long-term incentive compatibility requires that there be some fee
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i think you misread or misunderstood something. come again ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform russian random businessmen, at that, too.
mircea_popescu: go fucking disagree on livejournal and check my privilege while at it.
mircea_popescu: so he disagrees ? what else does he disagree with, chinese internal policy ?
mircea_popescu: > basic requirement for any serious commitment to blocksize increase.
mircea_popescu: > Certainly a consensus in this kind of technical community should be a
mircea_popescu: and if people have to test things in negative three days, fuck people. handler said, gavin & mike do, that's how "standards committees" work in the us.
mircea_popescu: so apparently teh idiots actually have a schedule, handler said something like "this must be in by 2016 no matter what". so either they get it in "0.11" or "0.12" or else 0.13 or 15 or 29 will have to happen BEFORE that date.
mircea_popescu: months to upgrade in order to fork the chain by the end of the winter
mircea_popescu: get into 0.11, leaving only 0.12, which would give everyone only a few
mircea_popescu: private that this timeline meant a change to the block size was unlikely to
mircea_popescu: shit asciilifeform they're not going to be so many that we don't reach 3.15 mn moduli are they!
mircea_popescu: Mem: 24420888k total, 24035956k used, 384932k free, 889012k buffers << what one likes to see. there's something so pleasant about a maxed box.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo for the record, "and found 60 with one or more duplicate moduli." is maybe misleading. it merely found the same key in multiple places, it hasn't actually cracked anything.
mircea_popescu: and no, ^c is not worth anything, because ll is well optimized, spends a minute thinking it through and then blasts you
mircea_popescu has just naively issued a ll in a directory worth ~100mb of 1kb files.
mircea_popescu: One key consequence of this is that the interpreter core in Python 3 is far more tolerant of paths that contain Unicode characters on Windows (so, for example, having a non-ASCII character in your username should no longer cause any problems with running Python scripts from your home directory on Windows).
mircea_popescu: seems bizarre seeing how the earlier stuff was predicated on "we want to make the language WE enjoy using". what, guido doesn't speak english ?!
mircea_popescu: you don't speak english, you don't get to use computers. back to the cave.
mircea_popescu: " It should be at least possible for users to start learning the basics of Python without having to first learn English as a prerequisite (even if English remains a requirement for full participation in the global Python and open source ecosystems)." << this is pretty retarded.
mircea_popescu: decimation so for my own education (not following python much) is the 2/3 split primarily centered around unicode vs posix ?
mircea_popescu: "where did it go ?" "oh, to the land of the jellybeans"
mircea_popescu: of course by now they prolly do java everything and upgrade weekly.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, gnupg 1.4.x works just fine, and come to think about it the pogos are being raped with software that's a decade old.
mircea_popescu: note for instance that the various "emergency problem - update required" stuff is in NEW-ish versions. like, heartbleed ? ubuntu 10.04 was fine. 12.04 ? owned.
