trinque: I don't see a problem with people coming to the forum to announce their existence
as a person.
BingoBoingo: nfi about fandom's value here either, but the people doing things worth esteeming with. Attraction rather than promotion
as PR strategy.

a111: Logged on 2016-09-22 14:46 asciilifeform: you have a nonce in the packet, and the packet only registers
as valid when said nonce is equal to hash of some packet that is in the receiver's current buffer.
Framedragger: may
as well put a power source on it, even a solar cell, and leave in coffee shop for anon wifi, heh.
mircea_popescu: ballas' celebrated "so you feel strongly about something, strong enough to not do anything" is just
as much a statement. there's no lack of observation, it's just that piggy likes his truffle.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: the sad part is that by "battling out" ideas in this wordspace, one gets a bit of serotonin rush, to feel *
as if* they have actually done something material. i know i get this, at least. evolutionary side-effect, this whole "curiosity -> completion" gap used to be much larger, not it short-circuits easily. it sucks, need to make conscious effort to resist sinking into nihilistic bliss, i think. </rant>
PeterL: mircea_popescu at one point I demonstrated a script to do that, asciilifeform scoffed at it
as useless
mircea_popescu:
as a sort of steganography. who the hell is going to prove that radio chatter is "not really what it seems"
Framedragger: would be great to have a nosuchlabs observatory lab, with results exposed over sql or w/e,
as discussed
mircea_popescu: de-titling of the kulaks,
as it were. nobody may hold title to any property, nor be entitled to equitable redress of any claim, unless they are a person,
as this is defined.
mircea_popescu: mno. conversion, such
as through theft, or mere possession, give no title in either law or equity.
mircea_popescu:
as opposed to being limited in any way by the width of K.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-21 14:52 phf: and for the record, read in python doesn't ever fail, what fails is elevation from str to unicode that implicitly happens in places, like when you do "print" or inside the html encoder or whatever. the correct way is to treat "str"
as a byte sequence, and explicitly do encode/decode when appropriate.
phf: yeah, that's how btcbase looks at it. messages are stored and mostly processed
as utf-8 encoded byte-arrays

☟︎☟︎ phf: but correct way of handling this in python, is to read() line by line, which returns whatever, ascii, then parse the [date] <nick> bits
as ascii, then take the rest of line and try: msg.decode('utf-8') except: msg.decode('latin-1')
☟︎ phf: the way you deal with this madness you can see in the guts of a lot of irc clients: you try and decode just that line
as utf-8, and if that fails, you decode it
as latin-1.
phf: mircea_popescu's xchat specifically still does that. so his latin-1 encodable text comes out
as such, otherwise it gets promoted to utf-8
☟︎ phf: but not necessarily your special encoding. so client will guess the encoding of the line you're sending, and if it can be encoded
as latin-1 it'll send it
as such, otherwise utf-8
☟︎ mircea_popescu: pro tip : giving the perpetrator of crime early warning is criminal. you notify the vendor MONTHS AFTER release. not at the same time
as release. not fucking BEFORE release.
mircea_popescu: in any case i'm not saying "you alf, do not do what you want to do because stupid people also do it". i'm saying "you stupid guy, going through the motion of alf
as you perceive them doth not make you alf."
Framedragger:
http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160921/#167 << yeah, and i'm still unsure if it should not do this. i like it
as it provides more context, but it's not.. standardized; it's rather ad-hoc; probably better to turn that off in scriba, and add facility for it to cite multiline passages via privmsg.

as they are from human society, stubbornly decided

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-09-19 17:44 ben_vulpes: i doubt it,
as everything so far is little-endian, and only by convention reversed by early block explorers to show the zeros first or who the fuck knows i've never found a sensible explanation for reversing block hashes (and only block hashes!)
mircea_popescu: incidentally, taking bets on how long before usg actually enters tax paid to republic in its "books" such
as they are.
mircea_popescu: from attention whoring doublespoken
as "rape" all the way down to "communities" of whateverthefucks.
trinque: there's no sport because
as far
as I can tell, this is a device used to herd cows
trinque: they're this grey goo you can sybil up
as much
as you like
shinohai: Good here, offline builds were smooth
as always.
shinohai: We can advertise `V`
as trans-free
mircea_popescu: but in the world at large you might
as well have magical powers.
mircea_popescu: what was interesting was the "media" value,
as seen above.
mircea_popescu: dude... who the fuck wants
as much
as a farthing's worth of pest control work from someone who regards their mentally deranged state
as manifest in their subjective confusion re their sex
as an integral part of the process ?
mircea_popescu: incidentally, the penrose book is great ; and
as woit aptly points out a very good basis for groking the current affairs re qm/st/etc.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, "He explains that characterizing this
as “fantasy” is not meant to be purely critical, that “fantasizing” about the moment of the big bang is what theorists do in the absence of compelling evidence, and that he just has other fantasies he thinks worthwhile."
mircea_popescu: anyway. funny how the adventure of "employment" played out,
as a concept.
mircea_popescu: which, incidentally, was the mode of commerce pre-industry
as well
as post.
mircea_popescu: "impractical" and "too expensive" ; they use metallic structure now. EXACTLY
as permanent
as circus tent.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: ticky tacky houses in 1960s were also designed to last
as long
as mortgage, yet many still stand. just need updated plumbing, electrical, bathrooms... bones are fine
pete_dushenski: just a curiousity, a fascination with architecture
as a representation of culture
Framedragger: well, the webserver needs not to get confused if it is asked to serve /some/hipster/post where neither that file nore /some/hipster/index.* exists; it needs to pass uri
as parameter to index.php
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-20: [13:19:58] <Framedragger> mircea_popescu: does your wp comments box support basic html tags (such
as href)? (i know it supports them when posting comments from *within* wp's dashboard)
phf: Framedragger: i'm basically using kako's log format
as a universal exchange <id>;<unix timestamp>;<nick>;<message>, so there's a python bottle proxy sitting on a machine, that, very defensively, can serve a copy of your page in a kako format. it caches all pages that are not today, and it has like 10 second cache for today's queries, but otherwise i'm not mirroring your pages
Framedragger: right. see trinque, you don't see "lazy" in that context
as having any descriptive context (what shinohai's pots); i do. a simple disagreement regarding the use. but i of course have to agree with your general sentiment...
BingoBoingo: So true "Imagine a rutabaga or an apple, a living harbinger of an adult plant like Christ in His manger presaging the deliverance of all mankind boiled, baked, fried, sauteed, steamed, sun-dried (poor raisins!), microwaved, or roasted to death. Imagine crunching into a fresh green pepper and listening to it scream
as your molars do their dirty work. "
trinque: hm... not
as ­ though;
as actual unicode

as well
as the possibility of success are of interest to the largest number of people speaking this language. especially if they currently don't know this. they may "proclaim irrelevant" whatever, but their green friend is interested in them.

Framedragger: one side-effect from the above: it may therefore be that
as one approaches the gossipd model / state of affairs, cooperation > minmax-style competition
mircea_popescu: heh. each-reads-his-own was intended
as a mechanism to encourage people to select the better package.
mircea_popescu: might
as well s/RESTARTING SELF. Reason given: /Restarting for /
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: you mean join chan before cloak applied? yeah i know :/ will fix later. want to robustify things
as a matter of priority
Framedragger: i am not sure if i should spend time chasing encoding rabbit holes, or start on rewriting things. the logging part is otherwise reliable, after all. but i guess znc can be kept
as a source of redundancy, and another logger *which knows wtf utf-8 is* does the primary logging.
framedr_stillghe: what needs to happen is, i need to rewrite the whole friggin' thing, and either ditch znc (while using it
as backup log history channel, perhaps), or to understand why znc records some shitty chars.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes (if you think about it, the first block breaks with the software-
as-protocol because eg it doesn't reference a prior block. rather than bake a test into code forever, more reasonable to just make it by hand.)
