mircea_popescu: much like a "press", it's a personal take on the lightcone
as-it-is.
phf: i'm trying to remember what i used
as reference
phf: ben_vulpes: well, what you're calling "varint" is called compact size in bitcoin source, and it's used exclusively
as a size prefix for variable length lists <compact size><item 1><item 2><item 3>
phf: so it's up to reader to decide if it should return first octet
as ~the number~ or read first octet and read a bunch of stuff after and return that
as ~the number~
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!)
☟︎ ben_vulpes: obvs my thinger is broken in that the hash is wrong, but amusingly i get the sequence number
as tx in index

mircea_popescu: give kid
as much rope to hang self with
as kid can carry.
mircea_popescu: it ~is~
as if all you wanna talk about is why he shouldn't do what he figures he wants to do. this isn't very bright, is it ?
trinque: this "denial
as motivational mechanism" thing is *why* the esteemed lordship hates young men, ftr
mircea_popescu: yes. the "can't abstract broken software with other software" is a restatement of godel, "There may not exist specific algorithm A for any formal system F that includes statements of certain elementary mathematical truth
as well
as its own consistency so that A will create subsystem F' which is consistent and an homology of F"
mircea_popescu: you notice gossipd
as specified is not related to implementation yes ?
gabriel_laddel: phf: something
as simple
as "network some computers together with ethernet and observe the sexpr from one draw some stuff on another" should work 100% of the time and be clearly documented.
trinque: this "the system is icky and I will only learn enough about it to infect it with my own" is precisely the mentality that has *kept* lisp coders
as refugees in foreign operating systems.
gabriel_laddel: (does not have to be netcat, happy to use anything so long
as I can eventually migrate it into my lisp process)
gabriel_laddel: Am currently trying to send a string from A to B (must be over the ethernet cable) so
as to make networked CLIM.
thestringpuller: it's all downhill for your crapply compy's
as "updates" come out
mircea_popescu: well sure, i'm not specifically interested in the execution
as a matter of detail.
mircea_popescu: but
as i don't figure you much for the "bitch, you will clean my boots or wear a new kippah anchor point, right in your fucking forehead" type, i'd have expected you'd just left.

as exciting, i knocked an office toy (magnetic paperclip people) off a doctor's desk while proving a point, which in his book counted
as "violence!!!"; then i left the meeting, because they were wasting my time. sufficient cause, in this wonderful medical system, for an involuntary commitment.
as one friend interpreted: "pissed off the wrong people"

as another aspiring businessman once wrote before his life had become unmanageable" << nothing can happen before had. you mean before became ?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "what dat" is a pregnant americanism,
as for the second sentence, you need a rewrite to parse?
mircea_popescu: "What,
as we say, dat? Could Uber be competing to own the vertical and horizontal in a space and failing to bite off an element of the business model that profitability is predicated on the ownership of?" << ben_vulpes can you say that again, but in a language, this time ?
mircea_popescu: but the bovine quality of the inhabitants of that land (btw, it's pretty clear by now north america destroys the soul : if you recall the spanish ran into the same useless pussies back cca 1500
as the marauding hordes would meet today. apparently it dun matter if redskin or allegedly paleskin - if you live in north america you turn into buffalo) has little to do with some sort of eternal logic of armsmastery.
mircea_popescu: i mean again
as in you should have started with that ; and i'm giving you the benefit of the doubt pretending like you did and i didn't notice.
mircea_popescu: still, even thinking about it, both dagger and knife are insane weapons for the lone operator. unless with a group of friends, preferably sons of the people running the city
as seein in italian renaissance for example, you're asking to be killed.

as it produces the same asm
as gcc(c) then we'd better have a good example of target "same asm". his approach is judicious.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 22:29 mircea_popescu: anachronism is universally the sign of an uneducated mind - in the blogger's case because he fails to account for the obvious case that "what if the only reason nothing happened is BECAUSE those people were there then ?" ; but in the general case
as displayed by lamport also. it is ridiculous to pretend to science, logic and reason, and then to turn around and tell a story of the past in the terms of "here's what's left once
mircea_popescu: "Responding to an email message is a simple operation with a simple mathematical description." ok, i'm out. fuckhead has not the first inkling
as to what he's talking about.
mircea_popescu: astrology
as a historical human behaviour eminently is NOT connected to ulterior developments such
as astronomy, nor caused by them.
mircea_popescu: we reinterpret it strictly
as an extension of the present".

mircea_popescu: (male virginity, in this context, is resolved strictly through taking ownership of women and other things ; not through "having sex", especially if that's practiced
as some sort of mutual play)

mircea_popescu: just
as well could say "and when i was three i put toddling things aside and took my place
as king of the walking"
mircea_popescu: (yes all bridges move. no such thing
as a rigid bridge since many years nao)
mircea_popescu: inasmuch
as it's a bridge, use it for car traffic rather than
as a wind foil ; and pray the architect wasn't a whore fucking drunks. that's about all.

as winds ; however you model other people being assholes, cars, winds - fact remains that the less it's used the less it
a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 06:11 adlai: the more nuanced answer recognizes that i was hospitalized
as a direct result of an argument, which would not have happened if i'd left the house with a sweater that morning. so... don't forget to bring a towel?
phf: "dhs prevents countless terrorist attacks each year, which we are not at liberty to discuss
as they will compromise ongoing and future investigations"

as pressed to get r8168 working or bust
phf: fwiw save-lisp of nic state and disk controller state is always a question of degree. either will have to be re-initialized in general, same way
as it's careless and possibly meaningless to "save state of running lathe with a component"

mircea_popescu: in lisp
as discussed here, and generally, a lot of checks are to be performed. this happens to jive well with a matrix calling system for functions and the muiticore design of cpu. because you
as lisp will just a) maintain a matrix of all checks to be perfromed
as functions and b) keep them permagoing on all processorss. so this way, the cpu count influences internal parallelism in the os, and thus os speed ; not program spee
mircea_popescu: in c, no checks are performed and you're welcome to go fuck yourself. consequently, c exposes internals of cpu to user, so
as to better hang himself.
as seen eg in case of eulora client usage of one core and a trillion other places.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, the tasks are here in my vierws overstated. linux had the tasks
as hard
as described, and it did break through, on shittier internet with fewer people milling about. lisp already has c code it can read for many of the drivers etc. this is major advantage. easier job to come 2nd.
mircea_popescu: be all this
as it may, time to grow up and stop pretending adult lisp is anything but these two.
mircea_popescu: there's the following parts : hardware, including memory, cpu, disk etc. we shall call this x86 for short, even if it's a longer story ; tll, which is a compiler. does exactly same
as the gcc does in linux : takes lisp code, spits out bytecode ; and finally the lelnel, which does what the kernel does in linux.
mircea_popescu: suppose for this discussion it's already started ; else yes, you need a running machine to compile your image
as we said.

adlai: trinque: i don't think of this
as mind-body duality at all. a better analogy would be the phase of some matter. if you cool it enough, it seems solid; zoom in and you see it's still moving, but not enough to break out of formation.

as something which believes falsehoods and whose actions are not impacted causally by them
adlai: i respect alice's belief that her creator is dead, to the same degree that i'd respect somebody's belief in reincarnation, or resurrection, or transubstantiation. words have meaning, beliefs can be false, but you don't have to act on false beliefs. i'd count somebody who's physical actions are in touch with consensus reality
as non-crazy, by the "sufficiently in touch with consensus reality to not die by
