a terrible idea for some reason?
ben_vulpes: same with the affiliate thing; '
a-ads'; i know mircea_popescu said that nobody uses anything but clickbank, but i can't pay 'em in btc and the amlkyc is thick over there as well; so, fifty bucks, see how bad the results can possibly be

http://trilema.com/2011/margin-call/ last nite ; hanbot was all "wtf is with these idiots, tax man takes 50% right off the top, and that's it ? no comment, not even
a groan, not even 'how about you pay me the real amt you pay me rather than pretend double' zero ??"
mircea_popescu: this resulted in
a 50k win by the "victim" and
a 800k win in "court costs".
mircea_popescu: in ongoing lulz, "
A v Hoare, [2008] UKHL 6 is
a leading tort case in British law, decided by the House of Lords in 2008. The Lords held that the limitation period for actions founded on torts of negligence may be disapplied where it is inequitable to enforce it."
a111: Logged on 2017-11-12 23:07 spyked: in other news, I've been using most of my spare cycles lisping in ada. should be able to wrap up
a blog post sharing
a very minimal prototype (sane implem. of repl doing nothing but basic ops) in
a few weeks. what I've got now adheres to most of ffa constraints. the current version isn't very clean, but getting there...

a heathen link, was selfmade thing
mod6: i'll even go one further... if the FG USB-TTL becomes
a pressing issue, for some reason, I'll give ya mine from my rockchip.
diana_coman: if we can indeed just move it over on
a wed downtime then yes, not needed for sure;
mod6: ok sounds like
a plan then. thanks for being flexible here.
mircea_popescu: if indeed we just move it back to old one during
a wed downtime, we need nothing.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, it's certainly fine for testing at this stage; presumably later if we get everything compiling fine and bring eucrypt in we might want to have both but it's not at all
a requirement atm
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6
a) why not just sell it to pizarro and b) it's really no rush, end of the month's fine. << thanks for the time horizon. we'll plan on getting the hot-spare racked and going for sure by end of June.
mircea_popescu: no, the idea is, she stands up
a working pile on the non-raid system, attempts to move it over, it don't boot, because raid.
mod6: I've just been told that I don't even need to give S.MG
a drive, or sell it one. Apparently I misunderstood and there already is
a drive available for this environment. Just one, and that's alwasys been there iirc.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: in other sads, article fucking untranslatable. "inchipuiti-va" is not romanian for "imagine", because that's imaginati-va. it's the vocative of the act of creating
a form/face (chip) in your mind. which does not exist in english as such, unless you go to "mentally iconify" or somesuch barbarism.
spyked: I managed to make the thing run without
a heap, I think the problem's more in my understanding of Lisp's evaluation model.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-14#1737923 <-- also, spyked's adalisp is missing more fundamental things, such as closures. it's an early prototype, barely usable, but > 0. interning is of course considered, but not added yet. anyway, phf, consider the following point: built-in symbols (car, cons, etc.) still have to point *somewhere*, and that somewhere must not be addressed in
a C-machine style! symbols should point to Lisp memory (via
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no but this is my point. "why are you using emacs when in fact trb will need ada scheme anyway and then you could just have
a musl-gnat nerwmacs" ?
mircea_popescu: Mocky it's not much, superficially, but it has
a lot of downstream. because this is the ~fundamental~ rot of "foss" : that impotent dweebs latch on to it not because of the lofty theoretical goals, but strictly because of the very direct if unspoken power equation, "if i be friends with these guys then girls will be forced ot insert my penis in their vagina by themselves".
☟︎ trinque: recently did work experimenting with "just add water" kernels where the initramfs is (relatively) huge, but there is in fact
a magic number limiting the size of in-built initramfs, dun recall what, but hit it in the few 100s of mb range
trinque: I build initramfsen by aiming portage at
a custom PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT and ROOT, using
a threadbare portage profile, can thereby slam down ebuilds in
a chroot without having the whole of portage present in the chroot
trinque: place to mount say
a squashfs as root, with overlay for ephemeral writes
trinque: (there will be
a tool for initramfs-ism forthcoming, but there are very few situations where you actually need one)
trinque: however, if you're using genkernel, the script doesn't invoke that for you. it expects to be fed
a kernel config bare
a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 17:35 mircea_popescu: for
a simple example, the default state is, "userbase rejects your merge" rather than "everyone please upgrade". that should give
a decent idea of the flavour.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 17:28 diana_coman: trinque, if I understand it correctly, I could have
a cuntoo right now and move later on to v-tree but
a. there is some work to be done to configure it properly for the exact pizarro hardware b. it's unclear whether I'll be able to emerge (i.e. build musltronically) all the stuff I need ; correct?
trinque:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-21#1828275 << right. either now or later, you'll have to produce
a kernel config suitable for your hardware, and provide that to the build script. and yes, there is the potential that somebody else hasn't yet provided musl patches for your dependencies, though there are more all the time.

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-06-19 20:52 mircea_popescu: it's not "oh, errybody has
a rotten plank or two keeping'em afloat." it's "oh, everybody ~can manifest matter by will~, currently everybody hanging off the bare minimum rotten plank and they're not even COMPARED".
a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 15:33 asciilifeform: Mocky: to function as
a troo vtronicist, gotta grasp the concept, described by e.g. dijkstra, that
a line of code you have written is not an asset, but an expense. (specifically, an expense against the time budget of other thinking people, who must read and grasp what you have written. )

☟︎ mircea_popescu: as far as the crop of baaaas is concerned, 1800s america was
a different country in
a different land.
trinque: some derp put
a frog on
a twitter clone and that was that.
mircea_popescu: certainly. as the gears grind to
a halt, more and more of the imperial gdp is leaked to distracting the barbarians.
mircea_popescu: hysterically enough, this is actually
a line by felini. in zampano literally says, "it's the optic nerve that does all the work"
mircea_popescu: so visual, in fact, that unless there's
a gui with icons to cluck at, they don't have ~the subjective impression~ of having thought.
mircea_popescu: and the case'd absolutely have been another chickening out, in my respected and respectable professional oppinion as the only left psychologist speaking this language, had not
a very george zimmerman-like character (white male redditor-rentacop) jiggled at his door with his pretense to matter.
mircea_popescu: depressives are rarely effectual specifically because often
a goal requires some preparations.
mircea_popescu: basically they're really really dedicated to dying in
a bloc.
Mocky: my experience, quite limited, was that ~only people dealing pot are pot heads who don't end making
a dime
mircea_popescu: then you learn the much more important lesson that
a car's worth of condom's worth the whole hruscheba, plus that hottie on 2F.
mircea_popescu: the same guy selling you pot, in
a working world, will sell your car for you / introduce you to the people in austriturkey to buy condoms from and so on.
mircea_popescu: the whole fucking point of even having
a black market economy is to destroy the system, hence all the o'brien comments on trilema.
Mocky: I probably spent what i didn't realize would be
a fortune of btc on pot. but i at least learned an important lesson.
mircea_popescu: you know, the total btc value i spent on pot the past decade is 0.00. because
a) who the fuck buys pot for internet funbux, just... why! and b).
a111: Logged on 2018-06-20 15:41 FundsAreSafuh: The thrill of buying 60 BTC, and spending it all on cannabis. The exhilaration of learning PGP for the first time. The realization that FeedZeBirds was
a scam.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-21#1828005 << the closest we got to
a replacement i believe was asciilifeform's shiva, i.e.
a tinyscheme embedded into trb runtime. it was suggested as
a useful exercise for novices to attempt to expose existing, useful rpc function using it, but there were no takers. at some point the idea of using shiva in prod also went away, because tinyscheme is not necessarily production ready (primarily because of C-ism issues). as
mircea_popescu: but no, it's not like it's verboten to stand up
a trb, god forbid.
Mocky: tru but how am to even have money without
a wallet?
mircea_popescu: i personally know
a slut that lost the ability of being beaten for fun, through the mediation of her ducati and so many knee and hip surgeries she's immune to playpain.
Mocky: i
a car the road can be full, on
a bike you can still fit in there
mircea_popescu: but this reminds me, saw somewhere nice aquafort of 1918 major road here, then
a river, beign crossed by bare legged girlies on oxcarts.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform driving through water is
a major engineering problem though. unless specifically amphibian landing vehicle, ytou won't get it.
mircea_popescu: you can switch from driving leftmost lane this way to rightmost lane that way or rightmost lane this way to leftmost lane that way on
a 4 lane road at ~100kmph in sub
a second. just goes wooooosh.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 14:07 Mocky: I'm confused about trb rpc. Log search suggests for the first year+ of bitcoin foundation rpc was marked for death:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-02-28#1417175 but then there's dump / eat block based on rpc? Is this
a new version of rpc, I don't see
a new version announced on the mailing list. Can someone sum this up for me, I'm having trouble following the history.

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: nah, it rests on
a larger plastic plate, which is plastic-fastened to the whole bumper assemblage.
mircea_popescu: well, it does take like 8 liters of engine oil... but it's just
a bmw.
