asciilifeform: my cl often runs 1.5x or so of naive 'c'

asciilifeform in common lisp of course

asciilifeform fesses up that he started a rewrite - before starting correspondence and unrelated project with mircea_popescu

asciilifeform: almost rewrite.

asciilifeform: modular db << sounds pleasurable, but this requires massive re-engineering of satoshi's turd.

asciilifeform: (who wants - can make)

asciilifeform: does not include bdb lock tweak suggested by mircea_popescu

asciilifeform: so here's my total merge.

asciilifeform: there was some grumbling that i didn't post an auto-zapper that turns 0.5.3 into the hash manifest in 'chicken'

asciilifeform: with the two patches << with all of my patches so far.

asciilifeform: as in, it deserves to be treated as own fs.

asciilifeform: as in, 'bitcoinfs.' ☟︎

asciilifeform: addressable block device.

asciilifeform: vita brevis.

asciilifeform: for metal port.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was gonna use own db. for eventual transition to raw block device.

asciilifeform: for heroes.

asciilifeform: snapshot.

asciilifeform did say he suspected

asciilifeform knows of no effective defense against banana

asciilifeform: !s banana fiend

asciilifeform: a grizzled old bugger

asciilifeform dreamt, recently, that he had a knife teacher

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: (book, not tattoo)

asciilifeform has one

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo ^ comment

asciilifeform: folsom!

asciilifeform old lyfer

asciilifeform: l0lz

asciilifeform knows of maxint folks cheaper and stronger

asciilifeform specifically did not say 'buy me.'

asciilifeform did not say 'give up.' said: buy a man

asciilifeform: chicken << comes from recipe, attributed to the old gypsies: 'first, steal the chicken.'

asciilifeform: !s sword hero

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's going << i did specify hoping that i was wrong about this.

asciilifeform: os x << lol

asciilifeform: straight to sword then.

asciilifeform: (rampant memory leakage is not 'works')

asciilifeform: before adding code.

asciilifeform: undata: might want to investigate why the original does not, in fact, work.

asciilifeform: the mostly-empty wiki?

asciilifeform: flee - need diamonds for schindler's train.

asciilifeform spews

asciilifeform: right now we can't even make drama, the actors are drunk and spewing over the stage

asciilifeform: or if not i - one of you.

asciilifeform: so, in peacetime, if i live that long, i can take it to forest and write a 'popescuan' replacement.

asciilifeform: not magically, no

asciilifeform: or is it obvious to alert reader.

asciilifeform: do i need to explain why i asked for the book?

asciilifeform: why take my word for it - try it.

asciilifeform: had no effect.

asciilifeform: this is not tolerable.

asciilifeform: ^ someone suggested this as a 'fix' for wedged blockchain load

asciilifeform: the more gavin removal, likewise, the better

asciilifeform: and no runaway memleaks

asciilifeform: with no weird 'now please delete blkindex' crud

asciilifeform: the bare naked minimum worthy of nubbins` book, is a gadget that functions, reliably, on current network

asciilifeform: but now i don't see this thing as going anywhere

asciilifeform: my next patch was going to be a removal of the magic strings (seed ip table, etc) and replacement with ascii configs, as suggested by mircea_popescu.

asciilifeform: me - i don't want jsonism in my book.

asciilifeform: or you have a machine with no steering wheel

asciilifeform: that requires actual replacement

asciilifeform: didn't even touch api

asciilifeform: in my patches, thus far, nothing truly earth-shaking, just a surgical removal of what i consider clearly poisonous

asciilifeform: aha you're neighbours?

asciilifeform: pair?

asciilifeform: if you approve of another fellow's patch after honest study of it - you sign it as well

asciilifeform: submit patch with signature, yes

asciilifeform: and decide what stays, what goes

asciilifeform: undata: standards << ben_vulpes and mod6 started, at instigation of mircea_popescu, a 'foundation', where somebody (them?) will sit as mergemaster

asciilifeform: undata: but i have very little to do with it otherwise...

asciilifeform: undata: i sorta initiated this thing, by pure accident.

asciilifeform: no one, yet, saw it fit to comment at length on them

asciilifeform: signed by yours truly

asciilifeform: ^ other patches thus far

asciilifeform: loper-os.org/pub/bitcoin-asciilifeform.2-https_snipsnip.tar.gz , http://www.loper-os.org/pub/bitcoin-asciilifeform.3-turdmeister-alert-snip.tar.gz , http://loper-os.org/pub/bitcoin-asciilifeform.4-goodbye-win32.tar.gz

asciilifeform: undata: yes.

asciilifeform: undata: earliest (lightest-weight, least lines of gavin) version that is known to be compatible with the extant net.

asciilifeform: undata: read log

asciilifeform: undata: http://therealbitcoin.org contains origin tree. 'chicken' lists the remaining files after first trim. rm_... is ben_vulpes's patch;

asciilifeform: 'плохому танцору яйца мешают'

asciilifeform: undata: yes, we know the ru/jewish saying 'the bad dancer is hindered only by his arse.' this should be seen as an invitation to the good dancers.

asciilifeform: undata: this is how we got the extant bitcoind. if you like it - you know where to find it

asciilifeform: undata: the orthodoxy wants to be proven wrong. don't wait! fire.

asciilifeform: I need a << i need an airplane

asciilifeform: the idependantly wealthy - straight to sword.

asciilifeform: i would love to see it proven that what i've said is a load o'shit.

asciilifeform: hero? straight to sword.

asciilifeform: turd sans scatole is still turd.

asciilifeform: enjoy

asciilifeform: openssl.

asciilifeform: undata: result - gavin.

asciilifeform: just sorta, vaguely, floats.

asciilifeform: no sails, no oars.

asciilifeform: undata: so you know. boat - has no motor.

asciilifeform: but 1) i'm not interested in a book with gavin's excretions 2) not interested in a book describing system which does not work on battlefield.

asciilifeform: ^ jurov's chronicle

asciilifeform: undata: http://explo.yt/post/2014/10/29/some-dangerous-idea << i just wanted a fcking book.
