_popescu: good idea. ugh, 'Locale support overhaul' and 'resolver support for non-ASCII domains' already
slated for April hanbot_abroad: mircea
_popescu i managed to get a comment into your mod queue
mircea_popescu: re-writing the signature part starting with say diana
_coman 's eucrypt could give us a chance to ditch all the warts of a very usgistani past, and even maybe implement PSS or somesuch.
mod6: mircea
_popescu: re: rss feeds & feedbot; will check it out. sounds like a good way to stay abreast.
mod6: mod6
_phexdigit
_fix << This one I'd like to put in for sure, as it seems, at least according to my own analysis that this is a legit bug (does anyone disagree with this analysis?). Just would need a simple regrind at this point. Can do this month as well.
mod6: asciilifeform
_whogaveblox << I'm more open to comments on this one too, I don't see a big issue with it being in the tree. I'm also using this one in a test environment (for quite some time now). Haven't seen any issues with it at this time. It would need a simple regrind. Can do it this month as well.
mod6: mod6
_excise
_hash
_truncation << This one in particular is nice, and I've been using it in my test environments for a while. I'm fine at this point with adding it in, it just needs a regrind (again). Can work on that this month.
mod6: (23:28) <+jfw> oh sorry, asciilifeform
_aggressive
_pushgetblocks is in there, just the other three then. << correct.
jfw: oh sorry, asciilifeform
_aggressive
_pushgetblocks is in there, just the other three then.
jfw: mod6: glad to see progress on the keccak tree. I intend to take a look at the patches and try a build, might not be for a while though. What I'm not seeing though: what is the status of asciilifeform

_popescu: "/* The count field we have in the main struct object is somewhat limited, but should suffice for virtually all cases. If the counted value doesn't fit, re-write a zero. The worst that happens is that we re-count next time -- admittedly non-trivial in that this implies some 2M fdes, but at least we function. */"

_popescu: anyway. seems gcc has a baked-in "max 2097152 symbols"
jfw: mircea
_popescu: I get the sense this is more about the user than the tool then. I'd reckon it's equally dumb to call a function with global side-effects from an "if" test, since it's supposed to be just asking a question, not "doing things"

_popescu: so apparently in php, != is a legitimate op in if expressions. = however, IS NOT. == MUST be used.
hanbot_abroad: mircea
_popescu i'd say it's better than what i ended up using, from the woman's fault, "The term of art for this would be stramula. It comes from a seminal Romanian-language piece on the topic (in which language mula is yet another derogatory term for a stupid woman, not that there's any shortage of these ; whereas stra- is a prefix indicating primacy on the decendency line, sort of like grand in grandfather)."

_popescu: spyked, thetarpit not having footnote tooltips kinda blows!
hanbot_abroad: ahahaha mircea
_popescu i love that thing. and it's still in vivre sa vie, you just found its hometown ;)

_popescu: though honestly, i don't think there's any need (or for that matter any space) for "using the relationship" or anything like that.
dorion: mircea
_popescu thanks. your comments have opened us up though and now I reckon we're more likely to establish the initial working relationship.

_popescu: so you know, as far as the life prospects, the future evolution, however you will name the sum-total potential of a person's existence, understanding how to command line is more important than meeting their father. it'll certaily do a lot for them, and it certainly CAN do way the fuck more for them.

_popescu: the fundamental problems are that cli-iliteracy is a serious, life-changing disability. in terms of severity, blindness compares, deafness does not. obviously the afflicted are scarcely aware, but this doesn't mean they're not afflicted.
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-24 23:47:43 mircea
_popescu: obviously to a large degree you'll have to support your people, so you'll be working with their things to begin transitioning to sane things as a matter of necessity.

_popescu: what will you say ? "sorry, we gales only" ? as opposed to "yes dood, here, ten lines of awk. we'll go through what it does next we meet" ? hm ?

_popescu: so my proposal is rather to look at the matter not as much as you're in the business of TEACHING LINUX (while getting together), but in the business of GETTING TOGETHER (while for instance teaching linux, or gales, or bitcoin, or whatever is needed)
ossabot: Logged on 2018-06-27 17:39:09 mircea
_popescu: the problem though remains, and it goes right into ye olde orthogonality and language discussion (
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-18#1772426 ) : for sigs to mean anything useful they must not mean anything systematical.

_popescu: this is how it manages the inapproximable "whisks" of meaning that latin-style then has so much trouble noting down.
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-28 06:18:27 mircea
_popescu: there's also the argument that the compiler's the arbiter of code, and if ~it~ doesn't complain then fuck you. but in any case i really am not advanced enough to have the impression i have something to say on that matter.
billymg: mircea
_popescu: replied on my blog
ossabot: Logged on 2018-01-08 12:18:53 btcvixen: i would have been fine if ben
_vulpes did not blow up my spot.
billymg: mircea
_popescu: also responded to your comment on the post just now, the regex matches content between both open and close delimiters so that's why only adding the / to the close was necessary. i.e. there can be as many [[ in the code as you want and it won't bother the matcher
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-28 16:24:33 mircea
_popescu: billymg, my question was rather why not simply ]]
mod6: I'm hoping that if I throw in a bid with my mod6
_auction IRC registration for auction #1077, this won't be an issue.
mod6: 'mod6
_auction' is my new irc account for bidding on the foundation's auction for the dell servers.
billymg: i see how "each line has its own class" is unclear and could read as "has its own
_unique
_ class" -- should have said "each line has a class based on its type"
billymg: diana
_coman: ty. re: the line styling, each line has its own class, so can be trivially styled at the theme level to suit any author's preference. i think it should be up to the blog's author to decide how they present their content (and if they do a horrible job of it, their readership loss is on them too)

_popescu: the portion "$footnotes
_options['superscript'] = (array
_key
_exists('superscript', $
_" is visible on my browser. in order to actually see the "POST)) ? true : false;" portion of it, i'd have to scroll right. however, the right scrollbar is under line 413. if i scroll that far down, the topmost line is in the high 300s, meaning that i can't observe the effect scrolling right has upon line 149.

mircea_popescu: billymg, in the original example i looked at, line
149 reads : "$footnotes
_options['superscript'] = (array
_key
_exists('superscript', $
_POST)) ? true : false;"
billymg: i personally prefer the formatting in the first block because the newlines and indentation make it very easy to see that exactly one condition is being tested (the result of preg
_match
_all) and that preg
_match
_all is being passed exactly 4 arguments

http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-01-28#1957549 << your example instantly falls down on its own power, btw : think you, to scroll right to see portions of the top lines i now have to scroll down such that the lines in question are off the viewport ? how do i know when i scrolled enough ?

_popescu: one-glance is more important
mircea_popescu: now, all this becomes entangled once we apply our
literate coding standards, because suddenly the code-vs-text difference above dissolves, and wtf are you saying, mircea
_popescu ?!
mircea_popescu: wrt code however, mircea
_popescu has no firm oppinion on line length, or what to do about it (apparently he also doesn't have a firm oppinion on discussing himself in the third person, which strikes the fourth person mp, that being the first person reading itself in the third person, as a little odd).
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-28 02:42:48 jfw: Wrapped lines are something you can get used to perhaps. My historical preference was to pick a fixed width (typically 80) and use the text editor to wrap at that with language-aware indentation, but I understand mircea
_popescu to be firmly against this.
mircea_popescu: wrt text, mircea
_popescu is firmly against machine newlines, because text is supposed to maintain auctorial intent not machine convenience, and the unit is the paragraph, and further considerations.
mircea_popescu:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-01-28#1957545 << this is a misunderstanding. wrt code, mircea
_popescu is firmly against spaces-as-substitute-tabs, on the theory that duble vowels are stupid and triple-vowels pure linguistic breakdown. there's no fucking reason to keep clucking at the same button over and over like a maniac ; and besides there's semantic difference between the two, spaces-as-tabs are just fucking
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-28 02:39:59 billymg: i think i lean towards displaying code exactly as it is, even if this means some horizontal scrolling
_within
_ a pane, rather than machine-wrapped lines (which can be disastrous for legibility)

dorion: re 4.9.4 diana
_coman
noted GNAT and Eulora have been built/tested with it and it's unknown at present how earlier versions will fair on that front.
dorion: trinque further notes that apparently 4.7.4 can be built with
tcc dorion: the summary there is 4.4.7 is what mp mainly uses and 4.7.4 is what Gales Linux uses. 4.7.4 is the last gcc version to not require any
c++ to bootstrap.

_popescu: ie, the kid who runs away from rural highschool to make it in town because he knows how hard multiplication or basic func analysis is, but doesn't know how hard making it in town is.
billymg: mircea
_popescu: sorry for that, i didn't mean to be so dramatic with the "fine, i'll just work by myself then" -- i think i'm still working out the balance between check in with a question vs. implement and seek feedback. though on review it seems in this case it was more a matter of the clarity/information density of the question/communication
billymg: ah i see how that could read as "add new 'options' 'feature'". in my head i meant it as move from current: default
_options -> db -> current
_options -> code, to: options -> code
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-26 18:06:46 billymg: my preference would be for replacing 'default
_options' and 'current
_option' with a single 'option' object in the plugin, no longer storing these in db, and letting users edit that 'options' variable in the php file instead of having to manually edit the db

http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-01-26#1957366 << how about your preference immediately becomes working on mp-wp as opposed to falsely claiming to be working on mp-wp while in fact trying to stick random unrelated garbage in there under this guise, because at the rate you're currently going im just about ready to set the bozo bit on whatever it is you do altogether.

_popescu:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-01-26#1957358 << honestly, no. i think the "option" to "pick the special chars" was useful at the onset, when i was figuring out how the world should work, but double-parens is so well established by now, even etymologically! ("every time you go on a tanget, you have to decide -- is your paranthetical is simple or double?") that it needn't be misrepresented as an optio

_popescu: do you see any use for UI-set and DB-stored "options" in the footnotes plugin? the version in mp-wp has most of that commented out but it's still storing/referencing them which is causing weird behavior (and makes it so the only way you can override the options is to manually edit the db)

_options' and 'current
_option' with a single 'option' object in the plugin, no longer storing these in db, and letting users edit that 'options' variable in the php file instead of having to manually edit the db
billymg: once set, the plugin loads these options from the db into 'current
_options' which is used throughout the plugin
billymg: the footnotes.php plugin has an object with 'default
_options', if the options are not present in the db (e.g. on first run), they are set in the db based on the 'default
_options'
trinque looks into apply
_filters, brb

_coman: jfw: Keksum's 3rd genesis
is now signed and mirrored; as you've gathered already the previous comments on your article directly, I linked that and there's no need that I see for an additional article; also, you messed up something with your Keksum's article title now.
