asciilifeform: hanbot: apparently this is mircea_popescu's prescribed answer
asciilifeform: say what's 'fix' then ? 1024 col display ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: diana_coman's are already 900+
asciilifeform: mechanically-reflowed proggy suxx to read, i can tell that mircea_popescu spends ~0 time actually reading ( as in, go offline for whole day to read 1 proggy ) coad.
asciilifeform: standard line len makes it possible to meaningfully discuss loc, among other things.
asciilifeform: it's not doable without a transformer that's aware of the syntax. and doing it will destroy ability to refer to orig author's lines by number in conversation.
asciilifeform: not even my hand-sewn pretty printing liquishit, does this.
asciilifeform: they're already in, e.g., trb. but was thinking, perhaps folx will eventually stop, cuz it's a headache and to fix it is not in any sense expensive imho.
asciilifeform: nobody's terminal, afaik, is 980 wide.
asciilifeform: i hate to bring back ancient thread re 'how many columns in terminal', but you ~must~ have a finite width, or cannot write even basic thing like vtron without idjit heapism. and i'm heavily biased to 'make'em 80' , that's how wide my terminal and printers are.
asciilifeform: worx same as the multiline notation in c
asciilifeform: i.e. 'hunchback will straighten in his grave' ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re 'sad serpent hole', a d00d like shinohai could easily take my proggy and determine whether e.g. aes's, key expander is injective (afaik nobody ever bothered)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'll do it, gpggram coords
asciilifeform: ( it doesn't win 'vs pc' other than as proof of concept )
asciilifeform: quasi-relatedly: asciilifeform found out that it is actually possible to fit an rsatron into ice40, if one uses a bit-serial multiplier into external sram. a 4096x4096 mul would then take 8192 clock cycles ( 16384 if counting all load/stores. ) but we can come back to this item laters.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu earlier emboldened asciilifeform into a 'let's slow but working rsatron sooner, rather than eternal massage, why not massage later' approach.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: can give concrete estimate week from nao.
asciilifeform: there isn't very much remaining, fwiw: 1) evaluation of ave1's gnat (ch12) 2) barrett 3) miller-rabin.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'ma give one once finished reloading thing into head
asciilifeform: pretty great battlefield test for cuntoo, imho
asciilifeform: ( mine is equipped with a rather questionable 2010s freebsd )
asciilifeform: ideally would deploy these with cuntoo
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: non-usgistic fw for ye olde 'edgerouter' box. asciilifeform has a duct-taped version in use locally, mircea_popescu had idea where it gets cleaned up and offered to e.g. pizarro for packet-filter
