ben_vulpes: i generally assume "everyone will clap" but rarely have
that for which
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: just
trying
to get
the guy up
to speed
ben_vulpes: davout: dunno, "just biked into office after spending as much
time with family as i wanted o'clock"?
ben_vulpes: davout: "impossible without gossipd" according
to asciilifeform
davout: ben_vulpes: what
time is it in ben_vulpistan?
davout: guess
the "how do we
then ban peers
that send garbage" has been brought up wrt
the network/data validation cleavage
a111: Logged on 2016-11-02 15:33 asciilifeform: after slicing apart mempool-node from blockchain-node, building 'dioded node' becomes
trivial exercise.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-20 19:40 mircea_popescu: at
the very least block digestion and peering must be cleaved in
trb
davout: ben_vulpes: when aggregating
the outputs, nuke
those for which a spent out is found? it sounds pretty
trivial
to me, am i missing something obvious?
trinque goes
to find
the "cleave
the network fiddling and block verifying parts of
trb"
thread
ben_vulpes: because "map-reduce" does not reduce
to "here's how i'm going
to solve specifically
the case where
thread n finds an unspent out and
thread n+1 finds its spent and in
the reducing phase i collate everything proper-like"
☟︎ trinque: davout: hard
to say with current rats nest if
things could be
that cleanly separated ~starting from
trb~
davout: i haven't
thought about
the rescanning approach much
davout: ben_vulpes: if i namedrop 'map-reduce' does
that appease you?
ben_vulpes: davout: what if one
thread finds a
tx spent
that another
thread finds
the unspent for
trinque: asciilifeform:
tx sender is just a "sendrawtxn"
that eats
the data from user. maybe he made
the
txn with other RPC calls, maybe got from elsewhere
davout: ben_vulpes mod6 could probably be heavily parallelized
too
mod6: it wasn't
that long
ben_vulpes: davout: a full rescan of
the blockchain
takes ~12 hours on mod6's machine
davout: trinque asciilifeform
tx-sender must be built-in node
trinque: my wanting
to
track an address balance may have nothing at all
to do with *me* spending
to/from
that address
trinque: asciilifeform: utxo index for arbitrary selected addresses (emphatically not for all addresses including one user just pulled from his ass),
tx maker,
tx signer,
tx sender
ben_vulpes: instead of maintaining whole 'utxo pool', rescan for specific addresses on demand, shit utxos for
that addr onto disk.
davout: ben_vulpes: i failed
to parse
davout: trinque: yeah,
that's
the kind of design i'd like
to end up with
ben_vulpes: davout: or
to lean on
the clunk, right?
davout: ben_vulpes:
to
take arbitrary addresses it needs an UTXOs indexed by addresses, which isn't cheap
trinque: done right, it'd be cracking
the
thing into many
tools with clear purpose
trinque: isn't equivalent
to "wallet"
mod6: ben_vulpes: addys in
the wallet
a111: Logged on 2016-12-19 20:03
trinque: I'd have it run along indexing mine
ben_vulpes: davout: i imagined
this as a component of bear stone and skin knife
transacting
ben_vulpes: mod6: listunspent
takes arbitrary addresses or just what's in
the wallet already?
davout: downside of it is "node has
to know which addresses
to monitor, still has
to keep clunk 'rescan' logic as well"
mod6: that's just like
the listunspent
thing
that i backported.
ben_vulpes: davout: have you considered hammering a spigot in for "gimme utxo's relevant
to
this address"?
ben_vulpes: holy fuq nearly lost a
toe on
the ride in it's so cold
davout: and if you don't, well, you're back at "monitor subset of all addresses" which immediately reduces
to "wallet"
davout: if you want
to index every address
davout: it is more painful
than expectation
davout: still working on my
take on cutting
the wallet out of
TRB
☟︎ davout: yeah, check it out i'm reading
teh log
a111: Logged on 2017-01-03 17:27 asciilifeform: i actually sat down
to write a long and painfully pedantic piece about what i did, but gave up, let
the diff speak for itself
mircea_popescu: by
the
time you drilled a hole into
the head with your screwdriver...
mircea_popescu: ah.
that;s why i said, when you notice it ~starts~ shedding.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> why would it need
torsion strength ? << Some people likely
try
this
too late and cyanoacrylate is a poor filler material
mircea_popescu: for all
the hatred of modern agriculture / plastics,
this business beats
the shit out of
the 1980s method, cut
the head and drill
the screw.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: or epoxy or "red loctite" depending on how much force is planned
to be needed
to free
jurov: prolly next
time when defrosting
mircea_popescu: jurov in practice, once you notice
the screw is shedding, which should not ever happen ever, what you do is you put in one of
those magnetic detachable screwdriver bits with cyanoacrylate. once it's cured you
take
the screw out and
throw it away.
BingoBoingo: jurov: Drill out old screw and
tap in new
threads
jurov right
today attempted
to switch door hinge on a new fridge, wore up a shitty screw, gave up :(
mircea_popescu: it is a point oft verified in history,
that if howitzer fails
to solve problem it was only because not enough caliber.
BingoBoingo: Also
taller stack of octopussy likely required.
mircea_popescu: this should be a story,
totally. man finds love of life, is glad, convinces her, discovers it dun fit, goes back
through his hero's journey
to get all
the various helpers
to help. finally he sticks it in her among
the octopi, crabs, bat wings and other fit-makers
BingoBoingo: Anyways shouldn't
take more
than four adapters, 3 if you start with 1/4" drive bar
mircea_popescu: the idea is grandiose, a lengthy
telescope of adaptors used by a guy standing on a box on a chair on a desk on a stair on a rope,.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Worked
to free last stubborn screws on laptop
BingoBoingo: And hope
there isn't
too much slack
to eat impact
BingoBoingo: You use adapters
to
take it down
to size
that eats bit
trinque: gotta be a narrow, long pipe out
there
that'd do
mircea_popescu: aha,
there's nothing special about it.
the "adult" item, how could
this be.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> one or
two stuck screws, and
the hex slot in it , becomes circular. << Probably not "stuck", just married with "blue loctite" proper
tool
to free is bit, breaker bar, and mallet
mircea_popescu: the "tools" are kindergarten items because
the people are kindergarten kids.
mircea_popescu: hey,
the notion
that people want
to do
things has given way
to
the reality
that people want
to look like doing, appear
to be doing, but safely (ie, not doing).
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform>
the other hypothesis
that invites itself is
the
tlp/mp 'ceremonial object' one.
the, e.g., static mat, was sold on a www with reviews, and not necessarily faux ones. many satisfied sheeples own various
tools and NEVER USE, and
they -- are quite happy! << Like your HDX hacksaw!!!
mircea_popescu: the problerm with "everything is for retail" version of "man is
the measure of all
things" huh.
