jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: i suppose ingest/excrete would be
the english dysfunctional-but-best pair.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ingest is angloabomination born 1500s ;
technically it'd be exgest but incomprehensible because barbarians not systematical. anyway, ingest comes from gestus, gerere, which means
to carry ; hence gestant female ie pregnant and so on.
mircea_popescu: an' honestly,
tis a pleasure
to have who
to write such stuff for ; far exceeds any sort of inconvenience in
the writing.

shinohai: !~later
tell pete_dushenski Sure I can put you a signed copy of wp-mp up on my site if you still need.

pete_dushenski: still not clear why it's a 'dilemma' but perhaps
time will
tell.

ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: and it appears
that i no longer have

tgz. shinohai ?
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: i just got
the php off my hands, man
phf: there was some old obscure reason why we ditched openbsd. i
think it was driver support on
that backup gardget
pete_dushenski: "we realised
that we have no business in bitcoin/auto industry so we've elected
to
take
the easier road of pretending
that our deep reserves of offshore cash can be used for anything other
than mattress stuffing. if you don't mind, we're just going
to plug our ears now LALALALALALA"
pete_dushenski: if
this isn't pure carcoin 2.0 except with "underlying autonomous
technology" instead of altcoin 2.0 "underlying blockchain
technology", i don't know what is.
top kek.
pete_dushenski:
http://archive.is/J86hJ << speaking of problems chez one infinite loop drive, "Apple changed
the focus of
the project, shifting from an emphasis on designing and producing an automobile
to building out
the underlying
technology for an autonomous vehicle."
pete_dushenski: for comparison, "Clinton's running mate, U.S. Senator
Tim Kaine of Virginia, along with his wife, Anne Holton, released 10 years of
tax returns at
the same
time in August.
They paid a federal effective
tax rate of 20.3 percent on income of about $313,000 in 2015."
pete_dushenski: "Pence and his wife, Karen, reported adjusted gross income over
the 10 years ranging from about $113,000 last year
to over $187,000 in 2009, while
the effective state and federal
tax rate ranged from a low of just over 10 percent in 2013
to a high of 16.5 percent in 2014,
the figures show." << in other news,
this is not a bad
tax rate for a us middle classman from indiana, really. vp pence is either a
pete_dushenski: usg.aapl badly needs
the negative press for its primary opponent as iphone 7 plus is set
to launch with ~no useful upgrades other
than double-lensed camera.
pete_dushenski: "A U.S. government safety agency on Friday urged all consumers
to stop using Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones, which are prone
to catch fire, and
top airlines globally banned
their use during flights.
pete_dushenski: shinohai, phf, ben_vulpes would one of you gents be do kind as
to pass along a signed copy of
the wp-mp pkg ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ingress and egress, if you wish.
though
they refer
to entrance and exit by willing agents under
their own power.
mircea_popescu: we were just wondering why, right ? well, here's a coincidental why :
this way, it dun work natively with lisp
mircea_popescu: "Binary-types is *not* helpful in reading files with variable bit-length code-words, such as most compressed file formats. It will basically only work with file-formats based on 8-bit bytes (octets). Also, at
this
time no floating-point
types are supported out of
the box.
The ieee-floats library might be useful."
mircea_popescu: iirc windows doesn't handle more
than 64k files per directory ? neh ?
mircea_popescu: holy shit apparently
this guy's cca 2014 windoze prb stores blockchain in 128mb files, 100+ of
them by
that point ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: worst
thing you can do for kids is make it easy for
them
mircea_popescu: yes ; but
the ones
that didn't
turn out functional didn't because of it ;
the ones
that did,
they did in spite of it.
mircea_popescu: because
they were raised by a single woman married
to a single man in a house with a single room, one chair and one
teacup.
mircea_popescu: and moreover, if you DO variable length,
then do proper fucking variable length. everywhere.
mircea_popescu: make a pile of fixed output hashes, construct a variable length format
to hold it all
mircea_popescu: anyway. all
these variable length integers are a fucking eyesore.
mircea_popescu: kinda why i'm reading
through
this spec ben_vulpes dug up.
mircea_popescu: "Another important note needs
to be made here.
The block-length is *not* equal
to
the amount of data in
the block! Meaning, after you read
the last entry in a block,
that offset often can be, and will be, *less*
than
the
total length of
the block reported. Your parser must
take
this into account and seek
the file pointer
to wherever
the next location in
the file is indicated by
the block length value." << another example
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah,
the code he's using (bitcoin qt! dude's a
total eth-dork) is really shitty.
