davout: either way, i'm going
to bed, it's late here
davout: kakobrekla informs me he has something
to bring up, details
to follow
mircea_popescu: anyway, aite, will be sending it
tomorrow. same addy as in your original deed.
davout: mircea_popescu: see?
that's how it's done, just use numbers. NUM- BERS.
gribble: Error: Something in
there wasn't a valid number.
gribble: Error: Something in
there wasn't a valid number.
gribble: Error: Something in
there wasn't a valid number.
davout: makes me
think about señor chang
mod6: now just need
to expand for 16
mod6: the first step was understanding wtf was going on with
the arrows going up/down or up/down/down, up/up/down, down/up/up, down/down/up
mod6: i need
to make one for a d16
shinohai: Also BingoBoingo
thanks for preserving
the "Shapeshit" spelling as I intended.
mod6: ive been lookin at
this for /way/
too long.
mod6: why was
that so hard? i
think
the example is maybe just not very well, um, explained? i dunno
mod6: oooh, i get
this decision
table now. if r1=4, r2=6, r3=3,
then i yield a final value of 2.
shinohai: After Birthday celebrations
tomorrow I shall drink no more for a while.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: sbp: i recommend drinking less - srsly, it worked for some of
the folks here... <<
That step 1
mod6: <+trinque> somehow
that fits << haha
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: (message
to proberz : probe
that is visible
to
the motherfucking naked eye , regardless of how otherwise original, is an insult
to
the intelligence of a shoe) << qntra was hit hard with a comment spam cannon. Will
take
time
to clean up approval que.
trinque: I learned recently
that
the "inventor" of ruby is a japanese mormon
mod6: i'll just write one up
tonight. i just
tried
to cheat a bit by using
this one.
mod6: heheh.
that's pretty ugly
there
too.
mod6: its like
the worst of all worlds, some OO, some lisp, some indentation bullshit.
trinque: could be
the index builtin on list, and he didn't bother
to show
that list in his code
mod6: i guess it's just
the same
thing with more values, just was going
to
try
to mod
this guys shit
to see if I did it right so i dont shoot myself in
the face
mircea_popescu: dig
through
the guy's site also, he has various extensions/improvements discussed.
mod6: cause really, i don't care baout
the d6, i need
to invent
the
table for d16
mod6: thought
the program might help a bit.
mod6: i actually don't care /that/ much. im
trying
to wrap my brain around
the
truth
table for
the d6, with
three rolls.
mircea_popescu: mod6 if you actually care enough, iirc
the site had a decent manual/tutorial
trinque: mod6: maybe
the guy meant "collections" ?
mod6: yeah. i dunno anything about python, or even how
to really run
this
thing properly.
mod6: best I can seem
to get is
this:
mod6: i need someone
to help me
turn
this into something
that works:
mircea_popescu: mod6 btw, dun ask
to ask! i dunno python
that well, but mebbe if i knew what you needed ?
mod6 goes back
to wrestling with python
mod6: i was just pointing back
to last weeks conversation about
the nature of a coin. a float, 'tis not. :]
mircea_popescu: but yes i
think end of
tunnel is right. by now we're discussing bitcents, it's pretty well pinned down.
davout: ok, i'll go for checking
the DB
then
davout: but i guess i'd have
to double check against
the actual data i have in
the DB, might as well go and find
the information
there directly
mircea_popescu: Bet started:1 month 4 days ago (11-03-2016) << i
think p
davout: no scratch
that,
the number of 'accepted bets' as reported in
the february statement would do
davout: i can simply compare
the minimum bet
timestamp for each proposal with februart fouth
davout: so
the next question is obviously, 'which bets have been seeded after
the january report?'
davout: i see
the end of
the
tunnel
davout: in other words, for every bet
that was seeded after
the jan. report i owe you .1 btc
davout: i did not say 'liability
to bitbet', did i?
mircea_popescu: davout as a liability
to bitbet / owed
to me you mean ?
davout: anything bet seeding
that came after
the january report should be accounted as a liability
to you
davout: previous reports state house bets as an expense,
this expense is in
turn deducted from revenue and reduces
the distributed profits
to shareholders
mircea_popescu: davout>
thing is i can't simply do 0.1 btc * number of outstanding bets because some of
the house bets expenses have *already* been accounted against
the shareholders << how and where ?
davout: in other words, yes, you have been floating
this expense, but only until it was settled in a monthly report by deducting it from
the profits you distributed
to shareholders
davout: so basically my point is
that while i'm ok
to add a bitbet liability
to you for every bet
that was seeded after
the january report, every house bet
that came before
that was already paid for by
the shareholders
davout: and just because
the liabilities amount is reduced by
the payments
that are made back
to
the house does not imply
the converse is
true for house bets, as
the 'house bet' expense has no particular reason
to be accounted for in
the same month
the 'house bet winnings' are accounted for
davout: thing is i can't simply do 0.1 btc * number of outstanding bets because some of
the house bets expenses have *already* been accounted against
the shareholders
davout: working on
this 'add a house bets item on
the liabilities side'
davout: mircea_popescu: so i'm in
the process of updating
the report
trinque: felipelalli: if
the deedbot- one is gone,
that'll mean use $deed <deed-url> after
that
trinque: I've yet
to go back and make all
the queries case insensitive
trinque: TomServo: yeah it did; you were just in
there as lowercase
TomServo: Did assbot's WoT not get imported
to deedbot?
trinque: I'll join
the other one for now, but will probably get
the above going
this evening.
trinque: ah I didn't release
that code yet
then
mircea_popescu: jose de san martin (prolly my favourite south american) discussing
the despotism of de rosas.
mircea_popescu: los inmensos gastos originados porque a cuatro ambiciosos se les antoja por vía de la especulación, hacer una revolución y quedar impunes. ¡Libertad! ¡Libertad!...Maldita sea la libertad, ni será el hijo de mi madre el que vaya a gozar de los beneficios que ella proporciona, hasta que no vea establecido un gobierno que los demagogos llamen
tirano y me proteja contra los bienes que me brinda la actual libertad."
mircea_popescu: tará los resultados. ¡Libertad! Para que un hombre de honor se vea atacado por una prensa silenciosa, sin que haya leyes que lo protejan y si existen se hagan ilusorias. ¡Libertad! Para que si me dedico a cualquier género de la industria, venga una revolución que me destruya el
trabajo de muchos años y la esperanza de dejar un par de bocados a mis hijos. ¡Libertad! Para que se me cargue de contribuciones a fin de pagar
mircea_popescu: "Ya es
tiempo de dejarnos de
teorías, que 24 años de experiencia no han producido más que calamidades. Los hombres no viven de ilusiones, sino de hechos: ¿qué me importa que se me repita hasta la saciedad que vivo en un país de libertad si por el contrario se me oprime?... ¡Libertad! désela usted a un niño de
tres años para que se entretenga por vía de diversión con un estuche de navajas de afeitar, y usted me con
felipelalli: I didn't mean
to be rude, I'm sorry. You can ask anything and I'll asnwer, feel free! :)
felipelalli: anyway,
totally agreed with mircea_popescu
felipelalli: this contract is fine
to him (my counterpart "Rhama Bonitao"). I do not run any risk because I get him service first. So,
the worst scenario is if I do not pay him, and he has a concrete proof
that I promised
to pay him. It works, I did it many
times before.
mircea_popescu: well if you happen
to read portuguese it is obvious from
the deed he does so grasp it, i
thought.
mircea_popescu: your job is merely
to make sure
the bal peen hammer is exceptionally ball peeny.
mircea_popescu: by letting people use good
tools in ways
that make sense
to
them, and
them only.
