asciilifeform: afaik there's nothing peculiar re the vdiff. lemme know why your parser barfed, phf , when you find out
asciilifeform: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1533 << mircea_popescu , phf whole shebang , for reference
asciilifeform: phf: if your thing wasn't able to parse it, i'd much like to know why
mircea_popescu: phf do you have roughly the equiv of a "feed paste in here" slit for it ?
asciilifeform: a yes it is phf
asciilifeform: phf: didja ever explain what you mean 'lacks genesis' ?
mircea_popescu: phf nothing wrong with that.
mircea_popescu: what exactly did happen ? phf wrote a fine v parser ; jurov sweated white hairs getting an email system into alf-tip-top shape only for it to not be used as soon as it was got to work...
a111: Logged on 2017-11-15 17:59 phf: asciilifeform: no haven't published it, it's a big ball of mud that in the gran lisp machine tradition lives in TMSR package, along with log bot, log visualizer, log database, etc. so if there's interest in any specific parts i can extract them into library and publish, but i've not been planning on publishing the whole thing
mircea_popescu: phf what do you mean "publish", dump another paste ?
asciilifeform: phf: consider at the very least sawing off the code parser and entire set of items that pertain to www
mircea_popescu: phf well, is it itself a v-chain ?
asciilifeform: phf: ftr i'm quite satisfied with it
phf: basically the tree viewer is half baked and i'm not eating my own dog food here, so i'm relying on teh public to give me feedback ("phf fucking fix this fucking thing") which so far has not been forthcoming
mircea_popescu: phf i dunno, if there is slow to uptake.
asciilifeform: hey phf -- you ever published the v-viewer ?
a111: Logged on 2017-11-15 17:19 asciilifeform: this item calls for something like phf's v-viewer
asciilifeform: this item calls for something like phf's v-viewer ☟︎
mod6: phf: hehe
mircea_popescu: phf in the sense that they were trying to sell the machines, but avoid as much of the dev work as humanly possible ?
mircea_popescu: phf i had the idea cadr more of a common ancestor, to smbx too.
asciilifeform: phf: aha, it was why scheme(orig. '79') cpu, evaporated
mircea_popescu: iirc phf dun like fare so much.
asciilifeform: btw phf seems like ivory not happenin' any time soon ( see thread http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-14#1737657 ) . ☝︎
asciilifeform: phf: my understanding is that author was simply doing homework ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-11-14 18:50 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-14#1737529 << that doesn't sound right, read and eval are distinct phases, by the time you get to eval you shouldn't be operating with strings when but instead with interned symbols (i.e. things that can be eq'd in lisp and pointer equivalent on c machine level)
a111: Logged on 2017-11-13 19:35 asciilifeform: phf: ideally i'd get rid of Ada.Strings , full stop
a111: Logged on 2017-11-13 19:29 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-13#1737247 << it looks like a properly structured scheme evaluator, but it's ~explicitly~ lacking a native cons, which might be a very good exercise for whoever™ adding a static allocation space, adding mark-and-sweep, then all those To_Unbounded_String look like they can be simply search/replaced
asciilifeform: phf: you can run your entire heap of a mmap'd region , neh
a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 15:42 asciilifeform: phf: contrary to appearances, asciilifeform is not fixated on ada lang per se, but rather on the style of thinking it leads the operator into.
asciilifeform: phf: ideally i'd get rid of Ada.Strings , full stop ☟︎
mircea_popescu: iwonder if phf's theory is correcty
pete_dushenski: phf: i can see that. also, asciilifeform likely has a crate with spinning rust hdd's containing a vault's worth of digital tomes.
asciilifeform: phf: i annotate in my head
BingoBoingo: !~later tell phf tyvm, moving blockindex.dat over the local network fixed the issue. More nand for the burn pile.
asciilifeform: hey phf what do you suppose is the mtbf of a present-day bolix 'xl' ?
asciilifeform: phf: he has a bunch of tape images, i've none, at some point i'ma comb'em
a111: Logged on 2016-12-05 17:01 phf: asciilifeform: i thought maybe the design was some historic artifact, but no, none of the cads i looked at (including fucking cmu's NS, which is probably first or second cad in existence) had that split.
asciilifeform: ( http://yahozna.dyndns.org/scratch/ quite interesting find, incl. massive symbolics lm pile . phf , do you know who he is ? )
asciilifeform: kudos to phf for finding a fella who needed a lispm.
asciilifeform: !~later tell phf http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/metheus/ << moar, apparently.
asciilifeform: !~later tell phf do you know this https://archive.org/details/bitsavers_metheusSch_74035988 d00d ?
a111: Logged on 2017-11-04 14:45 asciilifeform: ( incidentally the other day asciilifeform finally met phf in meatland )
asciilifeform: ( incidentally the other day asciilifeform finally met phf in meatland ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: exactly like the 'cypherpunks' as described by phf in old thread
a111: Logged on 2017-06-20 16:30 phf: scussions, but also any kind of attempt at crypto communication. there was nothing to say all along.
asciilifeform: but yes my understanding is that moscow is where western wreckerz dispense the bags of moolah; ergo growth ‘with yeast’. possibly phf can add detail.
asciilifeform: possibly phf can add moardetail.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-07 22:41 phf`: give it another 6 months before "puerto ricans are unfit for living"
a111: Logged on 2017-10-25 13:46 phf: the address that they want payment already had two .055 transactions, so quite possibly people are biting https://blockchain.info/address/12SvNEQq1y2gffUpJCGtwgzjjgDrZVor6L drained into https://blockchain.info/address/1HA7Qe2LCq7mb2YVewpM2PCA1dsjWN3MhE

lobbes: but pretty lulzy phf
a111: Logged on 2017-10-24 12:42 phf: romania zero muslim! what is this!
diana_coman: phf, ahh, bidet, right; tbh that made me instantly think of Italy and it would fit womenz (if south) but I kind of crossed out EU to start with
a111: Logged on 2017-10-23 17:36 phf: asciilifeform: it's not a fun game, because there's not any kind of hook to go buy. "great coffee and beautiful women" is not it
asciilifeform: negative on both, phf
mircea_popescu: phf hahaha no such thing. throughout arab world, most of turkey included, the standard toilet includes a water spit pipe ~where the watertrap is. with special fauced accessible whiole seated.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-20 18:52 phf: a programmer had a serial problem, "i know, i'll use usb to serial", now he had two problems
asciilifeform: phf: i fucking hate usbtoserial dongles
asciilifeform: phf: on one hand could be useful, on other -- one more piece for enemy to wedge shut or otherwise manipulate in the post
asciilifeform: phf: i suspect this will do 0, in buggy pl2303 driver i encountered, it's the bandwidth and flowcontrol setttings that didn't take. but other than that adapter behaves normally
asciilifeform: waaaaitasec phf , whaddayamean no genesis ?!
mircea_popescu: phf don't add fucking exceptions wtf.
diana_coman: phf, quite; basically "white squiggles" from his point of view atm really; he noticed the letters, yes, because those he recognises as symbols but otherwise in any case, screws and cables way more interesting
diana_coman: phf, neah, he ignored the logo entirely
asciilifeform: ( or read phf's log on lynx etc )
asciilifeform: btw phf your logtron mangles these, because variablewidthfont. readers should paste above item into a civilized terminal to read.
mircea_popescu: phf it's been dead for at least a decade.
asciilifeform: phf: it may well be dead, i'm quoting from an archived pg
asciilifeform: in other lulz, via phf's links, https://archive.is/0Zm7C
shinohai: Well thanks phf .... that's enough internet for me today.
mircea_popescu: phf speaking of blogs, here's a trick : https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/david-gerard-by-pauline-martindale.jpg

mircea_popescu: phf who the fuck is some tool named david know or have to say about "ruble" anyway ☟︎
asciilifeform: mod6, mircea_popescu , phf , et al ^
a111: Logged on 2017-10-11 14:25 phf: but at the same time it's handy strawman: ~web of trust~ is broken, because our take on it is a piece of shit. i thought that's some pantsuit pattern discussed elsewhere
mircea_popescu: phf just about same here. i particularily enjoy situations where the "group expert" in "new trends" brings bitcoin to the group. particularily if 20something female.
asciilifeform: phf: it was part of the fiction where 'no we didn't surrender to americans, your rape is a traditional ancient greek, dontchaknow, rape style, nuffin to do with usa'
asciilifeform: phf: curious -- in what light brought up
mircea_popescu: phf you know, bbs matter
asciilifeform: phf: the bernsteinian 'werker' is also c proggy. ( phuctor , in all 4 versions to date, consisted of 2 pieces, running wholly separately )
asciilifeform: phf: i dun think i ever posted the modern ( bernsteinian ) one.
asciilifeform: phf: lol!
asciilifeform: phf: it was imho nifty. but ditching the 'own hardware, x86 can fuck itself' thing was , i suspect, the fatal mistake
a111: Logged on 2017-10-09 15:11 mircea_popescu: phf it's good that wired uses https to protect its readers. for instance it protected me from reading or archiving it, which i estimate to be a value add.
mircea_popescu: phf you never commented on how dumb/palatable the `tag:url thing is to your eye.

a111: Logged on 2017-10-09 02:14 asciilifeform: but i'd rather see a cleaner method where it happens via the usual phf backarrow
a111: Logged on 2017-07-07 23:52 phf: mondo 2000, the proto valley crowd, i think we had the thread. basically, jwz.
mircea_popescu: as phf says, "from first principles".
asciilifeform: but i'd rather see a cleaner method where it happens via the usual phf backarrow ☟︎
mircea_popescu: phf hand mollifies in solitude. to toughen must expose.
spyked: phf ty for lisp in small pieces reference. will look through it.
mircea_popescu: phf if you had a blog and time you could sit down to do the whole discussion of that so as to inform future policymaking above and beyond simple amoebic continuation.
mircea_popescu: phf i dun think they got off cloudflare tbh, this looks like exactly the sort of crap.
spyked: phf, nope. ro. so... let's try some more dns servers.
mircea_popescu: phf i see the same ip as you do.
mircea_popescu: phf ahgahaha
BingoBoingo: phf: It is working at the moment
a111: Logged on 2017-07-03 14:46 phf: i think ascii already made that point, that if you're profiling lisp with the vm startup, then you should also profile c machine from boot time. at the very least the vm should be warmed up by loading all the dependencies into the core, doing save-lisp on it, and then making sure that your foo.lisp has an up to date fasl. inside lisp though to achieve the optimizations you run variants of your function inside (time ...) until you bring it within the ra
