asciilifeform: unrelatedly, mircea_popescu do ya think you can muster 30-40min this wk to eat the 14a maffs ? i'd like to know asap if there's typo or other hole.
asciilifeform: how dumb does critter have to be, to buy this ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i heard before this phrase. what does it mean? 'this here is safe, but that there is where crocodile will emerge from your terminal and bite' ??
asciilifeform: i dunno that i've ever thrown anything but rng into 'your age' 'location' etc. crapola survey
asciilifeform: if only merely 'spun in desert'. these are the folx who gave us 'i lost mah keyz' zimmarman, who then pupated into 'rng, what rng' koch, et al
asciilifeform: ( for ~what~ one might want this, is separate q , who the fuq needs voice )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for added lulz, given http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-07#1878844 , one actually ~could~, in principle, bake 'rsa pnoje' ( in the sense that, e.g., 2048 * (1/.296) ~= 7kbit/s , moar than enuff for voice )☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: near as i can tell, it was a mixture of provocateur shilling and genuinely earnest usefulidjits -- schneier, for instance, was at the time an apparently-earnest 'activist', as was djb (who sued usg at considerable personal expense, and even won in some sense iirc )
asciilifeform: regularly. and just about all day, erry day, mass bruteforce idjits. formerly i 'policed' these, iptables, ban lists, but since indices nolonger bother
asciilifeform: search of whole orchestra takes 200-500ms
asciilifeform: inserting a key ( of typical mass, coupla sub-FP's, etc) takes ~100msec.
asciilifeform: and, notably, ultra-stable, i planted the thing on pg in '16 and has ran at all times it had a box to run on, 100% duty cycle, no crashes
asciilifeform: i dun have much in the way of seriously deep departure from default global config ( the defaults are surprisingly sane in pg -- e.g., no 'eat infinite ram' default like apparently exists in mysql )
asciilifeform: i'ma put on the conveyor, a piece re how to index ( supposing trinque dun get to it 1st )
asciilifeform: the only item i have that is intensely pgistic is indices
asciilifeform: is anybody other than asciilifeform using postgres currently ?
asciilifeform: ( all on postgres tho, and prolly not straight-portable to others, e.g. mysql )
asciilifeform: ( phunphakt to tie this into prev thread -- seems as if the bolix 3d engine, 1 of the 1st to be sold as such, still exists as commercial product, owned by some jp firm. naturally cppized and renamed. )☟︎
asciilifeform: it's mostly used for ordinary boring guism, rather than game
asciilifeform: qt ( of last i saw it ) had a thin shim for opengl but iirc hat was all the '3dism' offered therein
asciilifeform wrote a fairly substantial ( tho unpublished and long ago retired ) proggy with qt, rewritten from wx; but never so much as touched 'unity'
asciilifeform: didnt nokia buy it? so ~could~ vanish
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: seems similar enuff in concept
asciilifeform: they dun need to not suck to be taken up, only to suck less than the 'native' variant, which is surprisingly easy
asciilifeform: 'crossplatform lib'isms that even half-work (e.g. 'qt') end up wildly popular, on acct of how much sweat they save if condition 'must run on microshit AND crapple' is a given for $product
asciilifeform: btw 'unity' seems to be pestilentially common on the various 3dvisor boxen
asciilifeform: at one time i actually went through his entire www, thinking to find even 1 shot of PAL/GAL with the sticker off, to identify the part. found 0.
asciilifeform: trinque: 'lisp engineer' (picture) is simply the most publicly-egregious example i know of . prolly there are others, similar, but with fewer lolcatpics
