mircea_popescu: not as productively, yes, not for
the end user, at any rate, but
there never was a rule
that intelligence be benevolent.
mircea_popescu: yes, but you miss
that very point. it is not "somewhat like", it is exactly and precisely like
the
thing it is.
mircea_popescu: which is NOT a random string, nor
the result of a markov process, run on dry sand or wet protein.
mircea_popescu: t you consider
the limitations of statically linking very carefully, and consider your customer and
their needs, plus
the long-term support you will need
to provide."
mircea_popescu: but not just llvm -
the whole world exists, and it produces
things such as "'Static linking of user binaries is not supported on Mac OS X.
Tying user binaries
to
the internal implementation of Mac OS X libraries and interfaces would limit our ability
to update and enhance Mac OS X. Instead, dynamic linking is supported (linking against crt1.o automatically instead of looking for crt0.o, for example). We strongly recommend
tha
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: and
then
thought abvout it, and
then came up with a model for a world which includes gcc, and
then ran simulations of
that world and evaluated which moves best serve a specified interest.
mircea_popescu: someone, or for
the sake of rigor, "someone", a
tom knight equivalent, sat down and read all of gcc, slowly, loaded it in head. i do not mean, "one version". i mean ALL of gcc, like i know words in
the sense of who is
their mother and
their father and
the fine degree derivatives in all
trees in
ten languages. all of gcc.
phf: windows for a longest
time had a very stable abi, as per "you can run windows 95 programs still!1", where's i suspect mac os x probably doesn't. it's
the same problem on openbsd, sure you can static link, but you will have
to recompile after
the next release.
mircea_popescu: you are going
to examine
the glue holding labels
to bottles now ?
mircea_popescu: llvm is, from a gnoseologic point of view, a superset of gcc,
the upper node.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
to say it again : llvm is not "a competitor" for gcc. llvm was written quite exactly with full knowledge of gcc in mind. you know
they fully understand how gcc works, and i don't mean on
the first order, but on
the last, BECAUSE of little signs like
these.
mircea_popescu: this being
the difference between a
technology company like apple and a media company like yahoo, aka microsoft :
the former actually fit gcc /
their erstwhile competition in head.
the latter just blather on in
the hopes
the holy paper clip will help with
the printing press.
phf: we briefly exploerd
this fun fact back when static linking became a
thing (with bitcoind)
mircea_popescu: sure.
they know how
to do it ; llvm is not "a competitor" for gcc,
the notion
that someone could "hold out" is nonsense. llvm was written quite exactly with full knowledge of gcc in mind.
mircea_popescu: hurr. "if we want
to use
the anal orifice later on and you linked something it may give it away. use
this lube.'
mircea_popescu: i don't know how new
they are. seem pretty well formed.
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: of course i have
the
tools. my existence is not limited or in any way described by
the acts of idiots.
mircea_popescu: the point, however, is
that before i will use
the
tools, i'd rather parlay with
the idiots as if
they were, somehow, people.
shinohai: I
think /ignore *!*@freenode/staff/* NOTICE works as well
shinohai: mircea_popescu: You can unset
those with /umode -w
mircea_popescu: you should see
that channel, it's like camwhores' chatrooms exactly.
mircea_popescu: but do you suppose christel feels
the need
to ANSWER ? no, he'll just speak. because hey, we're all on fucking
tv over here.
mircea_popescu in #freenode ; <mircea_popescu> christel is
there some manner
to opt out of
the cutesy/pointless global notices ? or otherwise out of
these global notices altogether ?
Framedragger: (actually, i'm sure you've considered all
this, so sorry for assuming you may not have)
trinque: damn, I was born
that year
Framedragger: but
they expanded my cell's volume so i have room
to walk around now
trinque: >
thanks
to bill for increasing my swap space
a111: Logged on 2016-12-31 04:50 asciilifeform: 'The ability
to limit concurrent coredumps allows dumping core
to be safely enabled in
these situations without affecting responsiveness of
the system as a whole. I have several servers running with
this patch applied (actually backported
to v2.6.26) and it has allowed me
to deal successfully with
the situation described above.'
Framedragger: probably a useful piece of code
to have anyway; actual
tests for proper maintenance. :)
a111: Logged on 2016-12-31 04:43 asciilifeform:
this would of course mean
that Framedragger's set contained massive dupeage somehow.
Framedragger:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-31#1594781 << hmm. what i could do is, check
that all generated gpg keys have
the right e and N (by comparing
to
the e,N,IP CSVs
that i fully
trust);
to make sure
that i didn't mess up
the gpg-generation
thing. i don't
think it'd be really possible, and i had done some manual checks before, but maybe worth
to write an automated full-on
test.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-12-31 03:26 asciilifeform: and where was
this pop when i first ran 8ball
davout:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-31#1594446 <<< i'm confused, isn't
the 8-ball a set of factors
that you multiplied into
the running product, and for which 're-running' makes little sense, as being already present in
the global factors product?
☝︎☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-12-30 22:18 asciilifeform: historically accurate
to
the point of wtf -- even radio controls (what good are
they in a sim?) are
there.
trinque: the linux combustion engine, explodes 300
times per second
mircea_popescu: you don't understand. you're supposed
to know when you cause core dumps and just work around it.
mircea_popescu: the odds of hundreds, if not
thousands, of composite (with
two, or more, prime factors) being also
the factors of other moduli seem slim./
mircea_popescu: give
the man some space
to figure out wtf happened ; if it
turns out
they're valid we can always put
them in later.
