phf: alf is deeply infatuated at
the moment with ada, so you should wait a few months :p
mircea_popescu: mk, we have
to [re]do
that discussion in depth, i guess.
mircea_popescu: so i don't have
to point out
to you
that yes it is, "even" "mod" etc.
mircea_popescu: there's some shoddy solutions for
the first. chiefly, c. people don't like
them, but it is also possibly
the case
that
they've gotten as close as possible.
mircea_popescu: there's fundamentally
two ways
to approach computing : as an engineer and as a mathematician.
mircea_popescu: honestly a proper modern fortran would prolly be worth
the
time
to make.
this specifically means upgrading it more
towards derive
than
towards haskell
jurov: i had
to mark almost *everything* by "yes compute
this now, not leave it
to later"
jurov: than
to get it not
to hog memory by filling it with lazy comuptation
thunks
jurov: but
that it
took
the "machine with unlimited memory" abstraction and
took it
to extreme
jurov: acc.
to my hands-on experience, haskell's problem is not
the cpu
trinque: google reinvents activex, is so
totally not msft of 2010s
trinque: because who doesn't want
to run binary blobs in a web page?
PeterL: has
the leak gotten bigger with
time?
PeterL: firefox used
to be
the best, now it just feels slow and clunky when I
try
to use it
mircea_popescu: "the web" as a sort of google-run itunes store ? in
the grand
tradition of
the bbs archive ?
phf: yeah,
that's about how long it's been since you could get a decent browser behavior. i
think
that's when firefox switched from "general purpose xul renderer"
to "modern browser"
mircea_popescu: "continue rtunning background apps when chromium is closed"
thing
takes
the cake. nigga, say wut ?!
mircea_popescu: oh, don't
tell me, i could "save setings online and access
them from any browser"
mircea_popescu: popups
to
translate pages "not in
the languages i speak" ? wtf does it know what languages i speak
mircea_popescu: shares a bar for url and search ? "click here
to log what you
type in url bar which we now call omnibar" ?
there's no way
to see cookies, all you can do is "obliterate" items, and limited
to "from
the past...." so you can't actually purge
the shitbag ?
davout: aaand pete_dushenski
takes
the lead with a 74 btc bid
mircea_popescu: see alfie, metrics.
they make any reality more palatable.
mircea_popescu: in any case he held
top bid for a longer interval
than
the eventual winner is likely
to :D
PeterL: asciilifeform maybe you just
took
the wrong strategy, should have waited until
the end
to go from .001
to 9 btc, scare everybody else off
mircea_popescu: i have a
trilema article all ready for when
this finally happened, went
to bed expecting
to publish it
this morn... no dice...
davout: guess imma make myself some
tea,
this isn't going
to be resolved
today at
this rate
gernika: asciilifeform: aqcuirers of web sites
typically want all sorts of metrics about
the site
that might be in
the logs.
PeterL: mircea_popescu mpex faq still points
to #bitcoin-assets
davout: aaaaand pete is back in
the race with a 72 btc bid
davout: aha, i misunderstood,
thought he asked pointers
to
the forum's logs
PeterL: meh, just wondering, I guess I can search
through logs
mircea_popescu: there isn't any air for
the whole "oh i did nothing wrong" contribution.
davout: he's not wotless
that's all
davout: everyone's my sockpuppet except pete who's being milked for
the shareholders
davout: half an hour left
to
take home bbet
danielpbarron: right, i
thought maybe znort had made
the bid an hour ago and it was he who won
davout: also i fell of chair when i discovered wp_comments
table has
two fields comment_date_gmt, and comment_date
danielpbarron: well i was able
to fix pete's myself and see
that it verified, but
the same
trick didn't work on znort's
PeterL: semms
the comment system is magling
the pgp-isms inline signaling
danielpbarron: hm,
that latest bid doesn't seem
to be signed properly
mircea_popescu pictures various groups frantically
trying
to gather more liquidity while
the +1 btc bit bought
them a little
time etc
PeterL: cutting it close
to
the deadline, did
the bid get in on
time?
davout: danielpbarron: yeah, i'm adding
them myself since wp is retarded
davout: imma check
the precise
timestamps
davout: danielpbarron: i usually add <pre>
tags
danielpbarron: btw his clearsigned
thing got mangled by your site, davout ; easy fix
to confirm is add
two hyphens
to each group of hyphens
danielpbarron: ;;later
tell pete_dushenski congrats on winning bitbet!
davout: still 12 minutes left
to outbid pete_dushenski
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> 'More
than 40% of Americans who borrowed from
the government’s main student-loan program aren’t making payments << incidentally... i own a coupla of
these.
mircea_popescu: right so
technically speaking,
time of last bid + 1 hr, and last bid is at 10:33 ie right now
davout: mircea_popescu: one hour after
the bid war has stopped basically
mircea_popescu: is it past
the end ? what's
the cutoff, 1 hr from 10:28 art ?
mircea_popescu: but all in all
this is SO MUCH like eulora auctions i can't fucking believe.
mircea_popescu: im so fucking curious what are
the limits of
the various parties involved and if any whale lurks lol.
mircea_popescu: o wow look at
that, pete - znort - davout
three way free for all! lol.
mircea_popescu: anyone cares enough
to see if whoever's left at paymium wants
to do a qntra interview ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: let's study why people who live off
the dole don't build
the empire
that was.
PeterL: asciilifeform> (it is, i
think, imitating
the rear engine block of 12 cyl 'ferrari' with its air cooled motor) << I always
thought it was supposed
to provide some shade, keep inside car from heating up in
the sun?
davout: meanwhile,
the bitbet auction best bid is at 50 btc, aka one full Bitcoin block reward
