mircea_popescu: literally, for
the cost of installing gimp you get what ammounts
to a visual repl.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: not only does it mirror how we learned programming as kids (i did circles in a for loop in basic, obtained a nice worm guy!) but it gives an immediacy
to lisping absent ANYWHERE else.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: actually i would propose it's a very fine way if not
the best way
to learn lisp.
mircea_popescu: do yourself a favour learn how
to use gimp.scheme ; you will never look at graphics with
the same eyes again.
Framedragger: "i wanted
to
try something new, and now i have sharks."
mircea_popescu: i swear gedit is like
the emacs of
the art world. once you learn how
to use its lisp parts you can never leave.
Framedragger: wait i'm checking.
there's a chinese root authority
there... maybe package name denoted something else... still, who in
their right mind?...
Framedragger: i'm actually pissed, which just means
that i was
too optimistic about ubuntu. *i was installing a simple image editor*
mircea_popescu: the
third most commonly seen ssh protocol is a misspelling of
the most common one pushed out by mistake years ago!
Framedragger: > 173 new root certificates were added
to your
trust store.
mircea_popescu: what fucking foss.
there is no foss. microsoft is
the natural structure of ustards and everyone
taking after
them ; which is
to see in a hurry
to see results and in no particular mood
to examine
the quality
thereof.
mircea_popescu: irl,
there's ssh 2.0 and ssh 2. 0 ; and ~one implementation, by a known-bad
team.
mircea_popescu: this is a fucking issue ffs. if
the world worked like FOSS ~pretends it worked~
then we'd have LIKE HALF A DOZEN ssh protocol definitions ; which'd still interoperate ; and from hundreds
to just one implementations of each of
those. by distinct people in distinct
teams.
Framedragger: certainly. (also while on
topic, large part of
tor relay network. "decentralization!!!")
Framedragger will consider
testing it. would be useful knowledge, i.e. OVH *is* cost effective for not-super-important "lower grade hardware ok" deployments
mircea_popescu: if you do it for say 10 seconds, well doh,
they allow it.
Framedragger: (oh oh, and also
trying out masscan (the first-stage scanner, i.e.
the one which sends
TCP SYNs) with maybe 30-100k packets per second stable))
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: well, didn't *serve*, but benchmarked myself. i can
try again
tho,
that was long ago
Framedragger: (i use
tor
to access
things like library genesis while still in airstrip one, but
that says more about airstrip one
than anything else.)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger you actually saw
this in action ? ie, served 40ish GB in any given hour or anything like
that ?
mircea_popescu: and god knows both
those "corporations" need it badly.
mircea_popescu: so it is somewhat moot.
they might as well advertise microsoft powerclip + yahoo briefcase as a solution, for all
the difference it'd make.
mircea_popescu: i honestly don't know anyone (who is someone, i don't mean kids with no money, no power and no value dicking about ; and who isn't actually nsa) is still using
the
thing.
Framedragger: even Framedragger doesn't push
tor anymore. *and
that's
telling you somethin'* :D
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah, good point. well
the hosting provider is ~shitty and quality of bw offered is not great (OVH), but it *does* make a more-or-less successful attempt at providing an actual full duplex 100 mbps, which isn't a lot, but still decent
to my liking. so at least
there's
that.
mircea_popescu: the incredible audacity of
the usg assets. really,
they are STILL pushing
tor ?
shinohai: I shall make haste
to leave
these walls
the day you recommend using signal+tor
mircea_popescu: there's a lesson in
this, where being a jwz dun pay. gotta pick sides, loud and clear.
mircea_popescu: shinohai ironically we're also giving up on gpg, for
the exactly opposite reason.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger not so much a matter of
the webserver itself,
the load on
that is minimal for large file
transfers ; but from experience most hosters offer 1Mbps
to 1MBps links unless actually specified. and
this is outide of any "intelligent"
throttling at
the router interface etc.
mircea_popescu checked, about half of
that was in
the first half hour (thanks god for delayed rss otherwise it'd prolly be within five minutes eh!) so
that's like 3MB/s jus'
there.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu:
thanks. in point of fact a blog is now in actual plans, not only oneday-maybewaybe. :) re. capacity
to handle, at least
the connection is unmetered, and it's just static nginx. but it's not anything big. so
this is useful and appreciated.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger it's an iffy
thing from my pov, because on one hand you know, you did it i should link it ; but on
the other i dunno how many people'd click and how well you're set-up for it. anyway if you'd like a blog linked or something do say.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: ah,
that's cool and useful,

the sad fact of
the matter is
that
the brain is not a reasoning engine. in a very purely naturalistic, bio-logical way,
this is sensible.
the practice of "talk
to
the
text, not context or subtext" has become established
through moo practice

trinque: yeah I guess it checks out.
mircea_popescu: "are {} all
the elements of
the empty set ?" "yes." "name one such element." "there isn't one."

trinque: in other python 2 was already shit... all([]) ->
True yet any([]) -> False

time on calendar.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-15 15:54 Framedragger: (numbers in filenames and internal line order maps
to openpgp files i gave you, fwiw)
Framedragger: trinque:
that's sorta fuckin' weird. "empty set as first class citizen" something something...
trinque: All of Elliot's no girlfriends fucked him all night. ->
True.
trinque: in other python 2 was already shit... all([]) ->
True yet any([]) -> False
☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎ trinque: I don't
think much of luck, so I'll say do well instead!
pete_dushenski: trinque:
that whole 'red line' act in
the chemweapon affair
took
the cake.
trinque: pretty hard for me
to condemn assad while my ass still sits in
the country
that sold al qaida chemical weapons
to be used,
then blamed on assad.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: "Do not report
this issue
to Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/core!" << speaking of error reports, just got
this lolzotron
trying
to install eulora on osx 10.8
pete_dushenski: and it's
this coming sunday ? or a future sunday ?
time and
timezone would also be helpful, unless
that's for me
to set.
mircea_popescu is off
to bed, but we shall continue
this discussion
tomorrow. along with all
the others!
mircea_popescu: anyway,
this will be a pretty big one, as far as
these go. i imagine it'd soak up 1-2 hrs of your
time.
mircea_popescu: i can link you
to
the proceedings of a coupla past ones if you wanna see
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: sure
thing (assuming it's just in #eulora irc chan). on one condition : i do it pro bono.
mircea_popescu: hey listen pete_dushenski , i need someone
to be
the auctioneer for
the next s.mg auction in eulora because i want
to be able
to bid myself. do you wanna do
the job ? i'll pay ya 1mn ecus.
mircea_popescu: wands of shrapnel might do it, if you live long enough. but no chests
there are good enough
to spawn one
mircea_popescu: i even
tried reloading
the map billion
times
to see if useful peasant pops up. some give you major bonuses.
phf: they said
the same about fermat's last
theorem!
phf: hmm, i'm giving it another
three days
mircea_popescu: but
this has been an open and unsolved problem for 17 years.
mircea_popescu: people in gaming always go "oh, it's always possible" and
then point
to
the death of lord british as a definitive example.
