mircea_popescu: it's "going down" in
the hopes of capturing
the occasional dizzy derp. not going
too well.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you mean poloniex, it's been in wash
trading mode for a week +
mircea_popescu: 50-50 odds it's even
the physical buterin,
the guy with
the misshapen skull, actually writing
the item.
mircea_popescu: anyway, swan's song.
they know he's exposed ; gave up and are burning
the asset.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-04 12:45 mircea_popescu: but anyway, asciilifeform 's prediction proceeding right on schedule.
the "indepedndent" usg
tool and "ethereum developer" finds
time
to discuss bitcoin as
that "innovative project" burns
to
the ground. because
truly it wasn't all about
trying
to fuck up bitcoin all along. nothing of
the sort, ethereum was a serious effort by serious people with
their own heads and etc.
mircea_popescu: the young ones, i guess. but in principle,
the definition of a whore is exactly
that : woman
that's fine naked.
mircea_popescu: in other cvasi-lulz, ro whore, ex wife & baby's momma of ro footballer, discussing
their split-up : "you can't make a whore into a housewife ; nor an athlete into a respectable man"
mircea_popescu: too bad
the bad bitcoin wolf fucked it all up for
them.

☟︎ shinohai: reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/4r43ps/chinas_major_influence_over_bitcoin/d4yjy7t <<< Butterin "I can't fix Ethereum but
this is how I would fix segwit"
mircea_popescu: (best import phf's basic
theme so you can see shit works)
mircea_popescu: everything except
the
theme stuff.
that should be in
theme.php
shinohai: So if I understand correctly, you want a single page, e.g. wordpress.php
that does almost everything.
shinohai: And
that one worked fine mircea_popescu
thx
shinohai: I have a script
that auto posts Qntra stories, and occasionally use
twitter
to
troll. But I have less and less
time for
that anymore.
mircea_popescu: lulziest about
this block
thing is
the derpy miners arguing against
their interest on
the basis of social media gargle.
BingoBoingo: Oh, I don't get
those, but also rarely visit
twatter anymoar
shinohai: BingoBoingo: I probably get 4-5 nasty DM's a day on
twitter calling me
the same
thing xD
shinohai: Encrypted with wrong gpg key
tho mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: once you get
that you genesis it as a V
tree, and
then patching can begin.
mircea_popescu: that'll make
the crud obvious and simplify
the
task of cleannup.
mircea_popescu: step 0 would be
to apply phf's patches and get it up. step 1 would be
to get everything (not
the
theme, everything else) into one single file, and have it still work.
shinohai: Actually I can d/l now while having
tea
shinohai: Sounds good
to me, is
that
tar.gz mentioned in link still available? I will pull it down when I get back from
town
this afternoon.
mircea_popescu: and make it v'd. anyway, more
than willing
to mentor you along, you wouldn't be stepping into abyss.
shinohai: To me
that would mean stripping as much crud as humanly possible lol.
shinohai: mircea_popescu: you need someone
to maintain a vanilla wp setup?
a111: Logged on 2016-07-03 19:40 mircea_popescu: also - if anyone feels like undertaking maintenance for
this, on like a V
tree and everything, i wouldn't be at all against.
mircea_popescu: everywhere you
turn with
this already. a sickening display.
mircea_popescu: yet again
there was a right
thing
to do (network of blogs) and a fucktardedly wrong
thing
to do (www-"forum") and
the shithead community chose
to do
the wrong one. for obvious social reasons, it's way
the fuck harder
to write a blog
than
to "participate" in a "consensus".
mircea_popescu: that requires users and sessions, neither of which is php capable
to handle at all. but notice
that blogs DO NOT require users, nor do
they need sessions. nor, for
that matter, cookies.
mircea_popescu: its crowning achievement is, no doubt,
the blog.
this is what php exists
to do, blog software. not, ironically, "forum" (ie, web-replacement bbs) software, which is what it's mostly used
to do.
mircea_popescu: receive in
that
total, meaning
that out of 100k
they rarely actually published as many as 1k comments.
the rest's just spam.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-04 02:07 mircea_popescu: phf
there's
two main points of
the split between mp-wp and automattic-wp. one is
that i shot
the akismet idiocy in
the head (mp-wp antispam system works way
the fuck better, and doesn't you know, run arbitrary code from
the automattic equivalent of disqus, shambling abominable horror of untold proportions).
a111: Logged on 2016-07-03 02:19 mircea_popescu: lol
thestringpuller been a busy little blogger lately has he
mircea_popescu: " revealed
to much lulz
that many miners were using a simplified form of verification when
they were selecting blocks
to build off of which lead
to splits when it
turned out "soft" forks aren't so soft." << " revealed
that many miners were using simplified (and dysfunctional) chain verification,
to abundant lols and chain splits.
Turns out "soft" forks aren't all
that soft!" ?
mircea_popescu: nobody spetn as much
time playing doom as it'd
take
to read
trilema.
mircea_popescu: too much failed in one paragraph
tho. "their beloved if irrelevant" ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes "what started as a channel dedicated
to lisp and assorted snobbery
totally devolved into apache and php club"
phf: today on
trilema we're regressing!
mircea_popescu: phf same comments.php in my
theme ; but in general wherever
the
theme outputs comments
mircea_popescu: i have nfi how you imagine making a monkey out of
the reader's acceptable or anything.
phf: mircea_popescu: which file was
the above lifted from?
a111: Logged on 2016-07-04 02:08 asciilifeform: fwiw my old site uses
the ancient evils.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-03 23:58 asciilifeform:
the 1 is clickable
phf: we're going
to start getting random people with nonexistent english comprehension going "kind sir or madam please help wordpress plugin"
mircea_popescu: at
the rate we're going, #trilema is going
to end up in google for php queries huh.
phf: so it's <?php echo $comment_author_url; ?>/avatar.png or you go
to
top level domain?
mircea_popescu: because gravatar
thing is utter bullshit also. but i'm not
terribly convinced
this scheme's so great either.
mircea_popescu: the other is
that instead of calling gravatar, it just puts out avatar.png from commenter's webpage.
mircea_popescu: phf
there's
two main points of
the split between mp-wp and automattic-wp. one is
that i shot
the akismet idiocy in
the head (mp-wp antispam system works way
the fuck better, and doesn't you know, run arbitrary code from
the automattic equivalent of disqus, shambling abominable horror of untold proportions).
☟︎ phf: mircea_popescu: it seems like you have some
totally custom avatar logic on
trilema? do you have patches for
that?
phf: in fact i could send it
to spam, and
then approve and it appears where it's supposed
to be
phf: Spam (1)
thing in
that
top bar?
