to note
that it is possible
that instead of finding
the magic ID, you instead find a bunch of zero bytes. In my own copy of
the blockchain I have encountered a case when parsing
through a .dat file, where
the header is missing. Instead
there is a large block of zero bytes and
then
the blockchain picks up again later. I don't know why/how
this occurs."
mircea_popescu: i vaguely recall
this
too, but maybe it was a
temporary
thing

☟︎ mircea_popescu: and of course
the "256 bytes
that changed
the world"
thing referenced from one raddcliffe's "codesupository" blogspot blog is gone.
BingoBoingo: THe ability
to do 30 continuous minutes of secretarial work ought
to be up
there with
the ability
to load a half
ton of
topsoil into a
truck as a bare minimum requirement for employabilitit
mircea_popescu: honestly, i
think
the people who abstract-and-code are idiots anyway. first, you do it by hand.
then, you automate what you did.
this way a) end up with something
that actually works, and even without much design skill is well designed, by mother nature's help ; b) avoiud
the
trap of "i spent five engineer hours
to save myself
thirty
three minutes of secretarial work over
the course of
ten years."
☟︎ mod6: it
takes
time
to read
through
these
things and validate
their correctness.
mod6: this is a good
thing.
phf: true, but right now
the number of patches is so low i go out of my way
to grab anything i can find anyway
phf: asciilifeform: just wotpaste'em
to channel
mod6: anyway, please, check out
the reground ones, make sure
they look good, and if you feel good about 'em, send me a sig :]
BingoBoingo: I
think I vaguely remember. Something, something, makework, may have been argument
mod6: i don't have
time
to dig it up. but.. i might be mis-remembering
mod6: im not gonna worry about it. i went
through some pain
to get
them exactly reground correctly, you checked
them (iirc) and said
they were "correct." but
that was pretty much
the end of it.
mod6: i dunno, it was back in
the day.
mod6: in fact, i
think you said
that you wouldn't sign
them.
mod6: phf: if you're
talking about 'malleus_mikehearnificarum' and 'programmable-versionstring'
then you'd be correct.
they were reground, and never resigned by alf.
phf: asciilifeform: well, if you look at
the seals folder you'll noticed
that your sigs for
the
two patches are not
there either, nor do i have
them in my backup. since i remember meticulously going over mailing list and collecting vpatches and sigs,
then correlating
them
to what mod6 had,
then ... etc. etc. i suspect
that
there's some reason for why
they are missing but i don't remember what it is. i suspect
that it has something
to do with regrinds
t phf: also ben_vulpes was redoing his patches for
technical reasons
ben_vulpes:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-10#1538902 << you'll probably find
this as useful as any other rodent carcass left on your pillow, but over
the last 2 months i've racked my own metal, migrated out of virtualization
to
the new box, ported my blog
to mp-wp, and stood
the obvious
tmsr services up on
the new box (blog, paster, node). it doesn't look like much from
the outside, but paying down debt of necessity
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "nigga, i wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire, who
the fuck do you imagine is going
through artistic queue movements."
mircea_popescu: esp in
the 80s,
they had
those ridiculous complicated paths cordoned off...
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: and eat bills as well
these days
mircea_popescu: the poor got
their ebt or w/e it is ; fuse banks with restaurants,
they can have a waiter
to
take your order and a bank
teller. who
the fuck heard of
this, seated servant before me standing ?!
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck in his right mind wants
to go
talk
to a
teller.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-10 23:11 mircea_popescu:
they're just petty
thieves with
the wrong address, walked in
the bank because
to
them it looks just like
the 7/11
mircea_popescu: "I have never had a need
to believe.
Though
this mental state of apostasy has saved me
the anger
that accompanies
the disillusioned man in his 30s who finally discovers
that some important pillar of his life was built upon a lie, it is no sign of superior intellect." << lafond in peak form.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: also, calling ringo a "bank robber" is a little off ; by
this
token you can call every retard who broke his own pipes a plumber.
mircea_popescu: by
this point, im persuaded a half hour caning session for any would be mugger would do a lot more agains
the phenomenon
than anything
the "legal system" has
to offer.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well,
this is what happens when you don't build an Atlantic wall
to keep spammers from becoming immigrants
mircea_popescu: “WE CAUTION WE HOLD
TH BOMB, IF ONE
TRIES
TO (TREACHERY) WILL DIE AND SAIDTHAT YOU WOULD NOT WANT
TO PlAY DIE WE NEED SEVENTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS WITH OUT
THE PIECE WE SEE YOU WELL AND YOUR FAMILY ARE WAITING FOR YOU AGINE NO (TREACHERY). (NB) READ 4 MINUTES SENT
THE HOSTAGE BOMB WE NEED
THE $75,000.00…” << check
this out, spammers got omega rage from being ignored by
the rich people.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger
tried
that elena
thing ; lots of lols were had.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
Twas a headline with
too much "Wat" not
to round up xtend
phf: asciilifeform: shitty url "parser" :> i've been meaning
to replace it, but i'm working on something else right now
shinohai: It's
the most effective
tool of
the Republic!
ben_vulpes: phf:
that's my fault, uploaded a genesis.vpatch.sig
shinohai: But yeah, appreciate
the offer of help. I miss perusing
the bash-ism and really want
that feature back.
shinohai: Imma
try and have it up by first of week, I got sidetracked with
this
trb makefile
thing
pete_dushenski: i'd be happy
to help moderate it, or even host it if need be
shinohai: mircea_popescu you mean euniggs. <<<
top kek
pete_dushenski: i guess
the white ones woulda been euwhiggas or something
mircea_popescu highfives himself for
the most contortedly elaborate constructed joke in human history.
pete_dushenski: mostly because
that many harem girls required a shedload of eunichs
to keep a lid on
things, which in
turn require a whole castration and selection mechanism and doctors and nurses and orphanages and on and on and on
pete_dushenski: in other alpha greens, i can
totally get behind
the definition of 'alpha male'
that doesn't involve maintaining palaces full of harem girls. a deep sigh of relief was breathed across
the land.
BingoBoingo: Nah, James wanted
to introduce him
to spinach
shinohai needs a Romanian camwhore
to help fast=track his language development.
mircea_popescu: this is not
the worst
though.
there's some 5-6-700 comment articles from back in
the romanian days.
mircea_popescu: coupla comments
turn into 6k words in
the blink of an eye.
a111: Logged on 2015-03-10 11:48 adlai: what really amazed/disappointed me was
that NONE of
the initial press coverage of 'soylent cream' mentioned 'soylent green'
pete_dushenski returns
to see
that kitty litter is fine but
that he's waaay behind on
trilema
pete_dushenski: better
they die in
the ovens
than being slowly and painfully digested by stomach enzymes. sterilisation is
the humane kill, like kosher neck slitting
mircea_popescu: they'll go
to
the great kitty litter in heaven ; which nobody ever changes.
shinohai: What about all
those poor microorganisms
that would suffer and die in
the dirt during
the sterilization process?
pete_dushenski: shinohai: i guess
there's always eating sterilised dirt
shinohai: How dare you pete_dushenski, Apiaceae lives matter
too.
pete_dushenski: ends up with usual probiotic vegan fare obv., because killing anything more
than a carrot is mean mkay
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: molyneux cribs from
trilema with regards
to
the 'rights' fiction but
then
takes
that perfectly reasoned (and seasoned) protein and
tries
to cook it... non-violently
shinohai: I didn't like
the extra comma,
twas removed
mircea_popescu: "i have my liberty and i dun need your dumb head
to give me no rights" as far as ancient
trilemisms go
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-10: [15:51:09] <asciilifeform> iirc he's one of
the mr.mold-style americanized faux-anarchy fellas.
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-10: [05:24:47] <vinimore> going
to bed
too
phf: (hmm, a111 lost
that message during reconciliation, going
to fix
that issue..)
