taking
thousands in donations. jackdaniel is being paid several k
to work on CLIM
phf: come
to
think of me my laptop runs without swap, because i mucked with write permissions on mac os x's swap file, but it's not ever a problem at 16gb
mircea_popescu: that
they stopped saying it doesn't mean anything changed ;
they just
thought everyone got
the idea.
mircea_popescu: i
thought it said so in
the linux manual cca 1996, "linux can not be run without swap. don't even
try."
phf: 512mb ought
to be enough for anyone!
mircea_popescu: do we put
this down
to "lamp sucks" or
to "operator egregious eggog" ?
phf: 160822 9:30:08 InnoDB: Fatal error: cannot allocate memory for
the buffer pool
phf: it exhausts
the 512mb and quietly dies
mircea_popescu: look
through it, it has swap existing hardwire
throughout.
phf: oh i
think maybe it's a memory issue :D i'm running it on a $5 512mb instance
mircea_popescu: my angry forays into apache/mysql are in
the logs.
that shit sucks.
mircea_popescu: not
that
there aren't a precious few competent folk out
there. but
they suffer a heavy demographic burden in
the form of idiot us sucking
them in
to "build companies" and go
to conferences and waste
their lives for belonging&jam-tomorrow ; and
the rest are fucking busy raping nsa and such.
phf: speaking of wordpress, mysql keeps consistently crashing. i don't
think i've had a unix daemon crash on me in
the recent memory,
this is a first
mircea_popescu: it's not even deliberate, just byproduct of how
the process works.
they'd cut it out if
they knew how.
mircea_popescu: nah,
the reason for
that is because
they find you from google, or equiv, which is an approximation of "what a human would
think interesting"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no , no,
the ones
that appear manually cranked are just
the same 3-4 bots "sold" on "underground forums", but with exceptionally inept operators. such as ahmed.
mircea_popescu: a small fraction will do
the more nefarious bit of hosting pharma / child porn / whatever pages
to link from OTHER wordpress / email blasts.
mircea_popescu: you'll laugh, but
the point is not so much untinkable as not valuable. ~all of
them, if actually given access, will happily post links "for google
to see" and
that's all.
phf: asciilifeform: yeah, it's
the worker exhaustion, but since it's my favorite
threadless cmucl, situations under which "no available worker" are numerous and fantastical
mircea_popescu: phf
they prolly put you behind cloudflare/homebrewed equivalent as a service or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: incidentally,
the only
thing i can
think re "digitalocean" is
that place in
the pacific where
there's a
trillion little bits of plastic, ground down by wind and sun over
the decades.
phf: dat latency, digitalocean has been running on a generator and a modem past few days i
think
phf: diana_coman: i
think i didn't say enough on
the subject.
the core of what i did in order
to get it
to build on mac os x is fix autoconf scripts, if i revisit mac os x build in a couple of weeks, i'll
try and provide a portable patch
mircea_popescu: this is
the log.
there are many like it, but
this one is good. it is your best friend. it is your life. you must read it like you read your wife.
mircea_popescu: i don't necessarily dispute
that he
THOUGHT about it for many years. but
there's a profound difference between
these
two
things. psychological first of all.
mircea_popescu: you srsly
think
this was modelled worth a crap in 2009 ?
mircea_popescu: (which, incidentally, is an antipattern of software irl
that's very fucking often visible.
tech wants
to do a "Stupid"
thing for a stupid reason ; management lets
them for an entirely different reason)
mircea_popescu: best i can discern
two
things : 1) derp wanted
to discourage old coinbases accumulating (had intuition about
the blockchain bloat didn't want
to address or know how
to) ; 2) fees would have been HUGE early on without
this, as in, "fuck you, you wanna
transact it's 50 cents. i dun care your 1k btc is enough for a pizza slice ie 2 bux"
mircea_popescu: accept
that or don't, i dun particularly care nor does in fact have any effects. but history is history, rather
than fantasy.
mircea_popescu: and for
the record,
the reason we don't have an obnoxiously impudent mining cartel
today is almost entirely due
to
that root, and its fruit.
jurov: i am now matching mircea's answers against regexp?
that was really clever retort.
mircea_popescu: yes,
the proposition
that "sane answer" === "i made a mistake" necessarily implies
that as a precursor.
mircea_popescu: i'd guess a and esp b should be obvious. if
they aren't obvious,
the problem is almost certainly not what's stated.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a) yes i do "manual payments" ;
this however does not mean i create
the
txn by hand. i'd
think
this'd be obvious ; b) any and all,
this and all sorts of other resources are used
to establish
things about
the network. i am, for
the record,
THE FIRST, and also for years
THE ONLY both systematically sending
txnfees "not needed" and pushing for others
to do so. it is utterly not because i'm
trying
to shave pennies
t mircea_popescu: how
the fuck is "sane answer"
to be established via regexp with given string is what i want
to know.
jurov: he did not insist chinese sank
titanic
jurov: dunno if my mother has anything with
that
jurov: sorry,
the doubt is crippling
jurov: yes i did have handicap. because i did not ever get SANE answer "why our supposed betters ever contemplated sending zerofee
tx"
mircea_popescu: do
that and let
them starve, it'll count as a job well done.
mircea_popescu: woman's ONLY
task is
to protect her male offspring from
this.
mircea_popescu: jurov is smart kid, gotta have some ankle weights of stupid and loud noises in inner ear lest he doesn't fit in with
the idiots he originally originated with anymore.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the whole nonsense unpleasantly reminds me of
that sf story about a socialist future where people got "handicaps"
to match
their intelligence, lest
they're smarter
than
their stupid parents /
the runts in
the litter.
mircea_popescu: no, not really, but "creating
the controversy" might "help".
mircea_popescu: a) you see who deedbot
trusts.
that is called
the l1. b) you see who l1
trusts.
that is called
the l2.
mircea_popescu: i dun care for
the content,
tbh. form will carry
this matter all
the way it needs
to go.

trinque:
thx, what I was looking for.
mircea_popescu: the consensus in my head also is
that if you keep with
this whiny anal child subversive bullshit i'll bitchslap you so far up your mother's ass friends and family won't be able
to reassemble
the pieces.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-22 13:52 jurov: interesting, so
the consesnus is apparently wot does not mean anything anymore and i should curate gpg keys manually?
a111: Logged on 2016-08-22 13:48 asciilifeform:
then again, he argued - imho very successfully - against a canonical ~tree~, not against www which shows all known vpatches in
tree form
mircea_popescu: possibly. or alternately because nobody ever said "do it like
this or i will fuck your children with many
tiny bottle openers. in
the eyes."
mircea_popescu: so it attracts a certain sort of stupid, not just in
the sense of "a certain sort of stupid people", but actually a certain sort of stupid OUT OF people, even normally intelligent ones.
mircea_popescu: much like
the bloviating bovines / paul biggars of
the world perceive bitcoin
to be "a safe space for
their creativity" or somesuch, similarly build process.
mircea_popescu: but i
think a large-ish part of hte problem is
that build process per se is not actually specified.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-22 11:43 jurov: noone can't ever use vanilla autotools and ftjam as documented. it's absolute necessity
to prove own intelligence and DRY-adherence by creatively rigging
the build system.
