mircea_popescu: newtonian mechanics that leaked memory would be more like, suddenly you end up in a bubble of finite size that's diverged from the rest of the universe
mircea_popescu: <adlai> there's probably a nice little niche scamming these services << and a good thing for that, too. if there weren't no parasites praying on parasites we'd be awash in 'em
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> well if you are playing 'what stan wants' game you prolly end up with 100% mechanical implementation of bitcoind << some things stan wants stan gets, some other things he gets to want even harder!
mircea_popescu: btw, Auction of Souls is a must see, but preferably in the uncut version.
mircea_popescu: TomServo you know, i'm too old for the cross bullshit.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: therein lies the real chthonian ur-terror here. <<< nah, we know it works. we just can't prove it to arbitrary standards yet.
mircea_popescu: gotta get the girls dirty now and again, best thing for 'em.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: diversity of systems << idiocy << no dude. if bitcoin code all ran on the same platform that'd be pretty much the end.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: butbut... the spec's right here! <<< not terribly fair. the mercedes is not made out of coffee like code is.
mircea_popescu: well, the town is larger, fucking all the girls takes longer i guess.
mircea_popescu: i'm writing you down in my little black book OF INSULTS
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: one of the things pretty much no one (save possibly mircea_popescu) << possibly eh ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: mod6: I prefer the term Stanix << as in "the dyslexic coder sold his soul to stanix" ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you're not about to blame a guy for being nice are you ?
mircea_popescu: then we end up with the engine misplaced for 150 fucking years.
mircea_popescu: tho you know how this shit flows, people who are sane get talked over by various locally optimizing idiots who know better
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: mod6: idea was, blockchain, as potentially the majority user of future hdd space on planet, deserves own (ab initio) scheme of mapping to block device. <<< this is actually a solid point
mircea_popescu: in the best case they're actually managed by sane people and you get paid.
mircea_popescu: so then be all dumpy naive, in the worst case they end up relying on you.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck is one to know lol, you come in here with your pseudoquotes and pseudocode and etc :D
mircea_popescu: in any case the part you quoted is bad voodoo, and you know that's what it is.
mircea_popescu: then maybe leave just that and appear all friendzoned-and-happy-about-it
mircea_popescu: dear client, here is our contract and here is our previous agreement. if you would like to modify either, please forward me the required modifications and i will send you the corresponding quote.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell pete_dushenski seems your blog ate out my coment. this is like rape.
mircea_popescu: see, ben_vulpes is the right guy for the foundation job. clearly.
mircea_popescu: veloper using Selenium to exercise his hand-cobbled JavaScript to those of Netflix and their Chaos Gorilla), but to distill the reference implementation into something that can fit in a single human’s head and rip out braindamaged code-arson like the moronic “wallets” and their change behavior."
mircea_popescu: "You misunderstand my goals. My goal with 0.5.3 is not to produce a high quality implementation of the bitcoin protocol from Satoshi’s work (people interested in such should take a dependency on software that’s actually rigorously tested like the Conformal codebase. Comparing the tests for *any* version of the Satoshi codebase with the Conformal implementation is like comparing the tests of a first-year Ruby web de
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> running this in a vm, worth throwing extra ram at it? <<< yes, up to 16gb markedly helps
mircea_popescu: maybe i don't iunderstand what you mean by "make own fs" and "bare metal" in that order.
mircea_popescu: so who are you going to steal the hardware drivers from
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so what, only support s.nsa produced hard drives ?
mircea_popescu: there is no way you can do anything novel and useful in terms of fs.
mircea_popescu: rewriting bitcoin is one thing. writing a new fs is a fucking dumb idea.
mircea_popescu: do you even have a candidate for pillaging in mind or wtf fs is even trustworthy
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you compress below fs layer then the fixed blocks thing is kinda a meh idea.
mircea_popescu: if anyone is a hdd afficionado, do some math as to what gain in speed justifies a 5x gain in file size ? at current and/or historical price per speed and price per size.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform of course you realise with 1mb sectors the current size of the charade would be 30+ gb.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's my expectation of 5yos, yes, but recently they make broken ones or something.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform myeah. encouraging how clearly you can see right through their bs.
mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr i'd think randomising entries less effort than policing "main domain name" rules, but anyway, no idea wtf this even is so.
mircea_popescu: people will start registering 1something domains link them to their main site
mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr from experince, nothing short of a site random display will solv that problem
mircea_popescu: tho honestly i am not convinced a fs is less work than a byodb hook
