mircea_popescu: anyway, ascii_field, apparently the dean is asking some questions eh ?

mircea_popescu, i'm just sick of your shit you've independently claimed like 3 people i know are scammers and your life is literally gossiping on the internet
BingoBoingo:
mircea_popescu: Gotta consider the people wo were playing. "Big prison" is already pretty well engrained into their "living"
BingoBoingo: <
mircea_popescu> for any innocents : bingo is this activity where you get a bit of paper printed with numbers, there's a loudspeaker saying numbers, and you cross out the matches. << Aha, yes. It's like lottery as in person activity.

mircea_popescu: Used to not be this way. Sometime 10-15 years ago the torts think scared people out of taking responsibility for clearing winter weather
ascii_butugychag: wasn't it in
mircea_popescu's recent article where 'common man must be pumped through a sewer tunnel but oughta have a small escape hatch' ?
ascii_butugychag:
mircea_popescu: the observation about 'camgurlz are a magnet for the attention of subhuman bois' seems unsurprising
ascii_butugychag: reading
mircea_popescu's recollections of the '90s porn set feels a little like another one of my predilections, memoirs of su physics/math folk
ascii_butugychag:
mircea_popescu: that article makes me think of (i entirely forget the source) - approximately - 'every man's life has a time when things were working correctly'
mod6: <+
mircea_popescu> like it or not this is the level of scrutiny that patches have to face, even if it makes develoipment slow. << i very much agree with this methodology.

mircea_popescu: the problem with tests is that you can't test for something not happening.
thestringpuller:
mircea_popescu: wouldn't unit testing coverage prevent some of this from becoming a problem?
mod6: <+
mircea_popescu> my one question, and not to mod6 in particular, is : can unsigned int nSize = ECDSA_size(pkey); be trusted to not fuck up the size ? << Just to touch back on this again - I'd like to see more of this. If you happen to be reading through the code, and there is a question, ask - let's discuss.
ascii_butugychag:
mircea_popescu: no, but i've met hordes who just ~loved~ faux-accountability
ascii_butugychag:
mircea_popescu: i've been wondering, what the nazi variant of 'v' might look like
AdrianG:
mircea_popescu: people tend to re-use existing stuff.
AdrianG:
mircea_popescu: i think a programmable ledger has legitimate uses. unfortunately for ethereum holders, those ledgers are going to be private and inaccessible from outside.
thestringpuller:
mircea_popescu: guess that's how TaT made bank on the ASICMINER scam.

mircea_popescu: lol no idea ? your isomer ?
assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 15:49:34;
mircea_popescu: unsigned char *pos = &vchSig[0]; << this takes the pointer pos and points it to what vchsig is
assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 15:49:10;
mircea_popescu: memcpy(&vchSig[0], pchSig, nSize); << so this takes nsize bytes from pchsig and copies them over where vchsig lies.
assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 12:42:36;
mircea_popescu: and also, since we're taking out memcpy(&vchSig[0], pchSig, nSize); in favour of, from what i understand, unsigned char *pos = &vchSig[0]; are these actually and in fact equivalent ?
assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 14:57:50;
mircea_popescu: lots of bunnies grew ears on their back etc
mod6: <+
mircea_popescu> my one question, and not to mod6 in particular, is : can unsigned int nSize = ECDSA_size(pkey); be trusted to not fuck up the size ? << Not very "warm and fuzzy" on the openssl trust factor either. Would some tests or debugging help around this part?

mircea_popescu: my objection was to the notion of reading 600kB patches of spaces-to-tabs-every-line
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 14:40:51;
mircea_popescu: that once the current version being worked upon is released, we all do a whole-source scouring of spaces, and sign the independently generated results, which will be an immediate, other patch.
mod6: <+
mircea_popescu> or what, we discover dpaste auto-fucks-up the tabs anyway << im starting to wonder...
mod6: <+
mircea_popescu> mod6 really you shouldn't do this manually, just s/ /\t/ << lemme try with this. thx.
mod6:
mircea_popescu: ya, not a bad thing at all. but yeah, maybe eventually we move to that once the source "cools down" so to speak.
mod6:
mircea_popescu: qq, would you be alright with this error message, as opposed to yours which has a line number in it: printf("ERROR, ECDSA_sign failed in key.h:Sign()");
ben_vulpes:
mircea_popescu: btw why do you prefer tabs to 4 spaces?
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 13:56:38;
mircea_popescu: it's bad enough in a project. in a same file it's insufferable.

mircea_popescu: SPACE ALLIGNMENT!!!1 who! why! jesus.
mod6:
mircea_popescu: thanks for taking the time to search through the code today and write it up.
mod6: <+
mircea_popescu> if only we had larger blocks. << srsly right?

mircea_popescu: check it out alfie, your clone with less technical skills is running the usg's largest bank-department.

mircea_popescu: well... it's what, 650kb, so then the idea is that it should be condensable in 10kb or so ?
adlai doesn't recall saying that he himself, that is, adlai_chandrasekhar, wants to meet
mircea_popescu or market make options
adlai wonders whether he should re-rate
mircea_popescu with the thing about "text, signed or otherwise"
adlai:
mircea_popescu: is MPEx still looking for btc/fiat options market makers?

mircea_popescu: what init.cpp are you working on as an a mod6 ?
thestringpuller:
mircea_popescu: remember when Garzik was all "Lets build a decentralized exchange for ASICMINER"
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 17:47:17; asciilifeform: whenever i hear about
mircea_popescu's 'free men', i think of... chessboxing.
mircea_popescu: <
mircea_popescu> but we're not there yet. so far, prepping a list of magic numbers. <<
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> and even
mircea_popescu apparently does, on occasion. << actually that dpaste earlier was the first time in at least 10 years.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> whenever i hear about
mircea_popescu's 'free men', i think of... chessboxing. << pfff. nonsense.

mircea_popescu: sooner or later free man version of alf will pop into existence.
