mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there's no proof you can produce for
this strontium assertion.
mircea_popescu: 2. is
the usable interim continuation of
the bitcoin prototype. which, obviously, doesn't HAVE
TO exist at all points
to 1, but it may help if it does. we're here mostly discussing 2, i
think.
mircea_popescu: 1 is,
the perfect bitcoin. which, logically, would NOT conserve coinbases. as such, it has no meaningful humantime continuity with
the present Bitcoin, and so it can be done at any point etc.
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 12:48:50; asciilifeform: so if you lot end up surrendering, i will simply have
to add 'bitcoin replacement'
to my already
tall pile of 'redo computing' pyramid, slowly grind it in my mostly nonexisting spare
time, and wait another 20 years
to find a new set of sane people, if i live
that long.
mircea_popescu: and note
that i include (continue with current bitcoin) in
the same (intelligence outside
the wot) pile. which it is.
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 12:38:38; asciilifeform: while
there many be 'intelligence available outside of
the wot', it is ~dead
to me~
mircea_popescu: why do you suppose wanna-be singer/waitress sends demos with britney spears' stuff rather
than actual music ? "this is fashionable, maybe some rubs off on me!"
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 12:17:07; fluffypony: most people building crap on
top of "a blockchain" have no idea why
they're doing so
mircea_popescu: and half of
those are built in spaces where provably no problem existsw.
punkman: diana_coman: i just hated everything about it. moving/finding
things in inventory,
trying
to equip
things and and ending up with phantom copies if I didn't click just right.
Trying
to walk and floating at a 45 degree angle, falling
to death off smooth hills.
The claim sticks
that are "points" in space and keys and... I dunno. I suppose some of
that might have changed already.
nubbins`: thestringpuller / diana_coman it's worth noting
that for a game like eulora, which should conceivably have massive amounts of art assets down
the road, easier
tools for getting
those assets in place will drastically increase
the volume and quality of em
mircea_popescu: punkman well, maybe wehen jurov releases
the slime client :D
diana_coman: uhm,
thestringpuller I'll certainly have
to study
that, so I'll possibly get back
to you on
this
then
punkman: the whole game interface was a pain for me. I'd give it another go when
that changes.
thestringpuller: diana_coman: it's a
textfile
that has no middleware for artist
to import assets into
the engine. you have
to either write it yourself or place
the geometry in
their yourself. It's 2016 not 1993.
diana_coman: depends on what you mean by "ideas" (i.e. desires in
that direction plenty) and by getting rid of planeshift (code is already quite far - in a good sense - from original planeshift and yes, I absolutely want
to
take it further away)
punkman: diana_coman: ah I missed
that somehow
assbot: Logged on 27-02-2016 19:14:30; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu:
the other end of pederasty
diana_coman: what's wrong with a
textfile per se
thestringpuller ?
thestringpuller: jurov: not
that I'm a huge fan of unity, but after playing Kerbal Space Program you have
to give it a little credit. What it does have is a large layer of middleware which allows for much better asset management. Whereas in Planeshift + Crystalspace it's all handled in essentially a
textfile...
jurov: i was
thinking about it as potential learning practice for
trb... but such
things would make alf shit girder beams
jurov: serialization was not possible
this way, fortunately client needs
to send only dozen
types of messages
jurov: ended up with horrible hack whereby in
the process of deserialization
the values are clandestinely pushed into lisp list...
jurov: i have not looked
to doing art, only
to network (de)serialization in order for lisp
to be able
to send and receive messages
jurov: the problem is in opposite direction,
to untangle
them
☟︎ jurov: thestringpuller what do you mean,
turning
them into unity?
nubbins`: danielpbarron from "paschal", of or relating
to easter. in various spellings, it's a male or female name
danielpbarron: oh, in
the context from which I found it, she was called 'he'
thestringpuller: Turning Planeshift + Crystalspace into Unity is like
turning Bitcoin into Visa, so I don't
think it should be a job for anyone.
thestringpuller: placing art in
that game is a PITA.
the planeshift engine (on
top of cs) comes with 0 middleware.
danielpbarron: i
thought maybe you designed
the item images or something
nubbins`: we created all of
the heraldics for
the family lines (yet
to be implemented), i also produced
the first round of OS X compilation instructions and helped get eulorum set up / own
the domain
punkman: is "lower someone into pederasty" a russian
thing?
the phrase never made much sense
to me
nubbins`: danielpbarron i did several parcels of work for
the ministry of games, in paid official capacity as well as volunteer/unofficial capacity.
nubbins`: thanks,
third-party graphic designer who obviously knows what
they're doing

assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 13:55:25; jurov: drat. so far i failed
to observe it with people
that i hired
nubbins`: am i literally
the ONLY person who understands
the rules around here?
nubbins`: besides, i didn't quote you without context, i *misquoted* you in
the *midst* of context. jeez.
nubbins`: once i checked
the log, i understood
that you actually "stabbed" me
nubbins`: sorry, i have a script
that changes words of violence
to words of kindness
nubbins`: jurov danielpbarron has a lot
to learn, he's come
to me for guidance
jurov: nubbins`: i
take it you're stabbing/hugging each other in
the pederasty context
danielpbarron: >> On
the other hand professional also implies
that you understand how context works, and will never ever under any circumstances omit relevant context when quoting, especially when such omission changes
the meaning of your quote and
the quoted
then has
to point
this out
to you like you were some sort of politician or assimilated retard.
danielpbarron: that's a violation of
the rules you like
to cite so much
nubbins`: i
thought you didn't like me anymore
jurov: drat. so far i failed
to observe it with people
that i hired
☟︎ thestringpuller: asciilifeform: "Pederasty is an ancient Greek form of interaction in which members of
the same sex would partake in
the pleasures of an intellectual and/or sexual relationship as part of a socially acceptable ancient custom " << uh ok...
davout: punkman: unless
these particular inputs are blacklisted by
the Chinese Cartel(TM)
punkman: anyway, doesn't hurt
to come up with a pricetag. who knows maybe
the satoshi hoard might move
this year.
☟︎ danielpbarron: asciilifeform>
the 'reddit appeal' of what we do << i didn't mean reaching out any further
than in
this very channel
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 12:41:33; asciilifeform: i was willing
to deal with
the cpp miseryu of
trb because 1) it pre-dates bitcoin being valuable 2) it was - and remains -
the schelling point, 'father's pistols'
danielpbarron: how much do you need for
this year off
to build sane
trb ? maybe we can crowdfund it
danielpbarron: you linked some
thing on ebay, has amd processer and ecc ram or whatever
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 13:00:57; danielpbarron: someone set up
that sommelier
thing already
danielpbarron: although without a bitcoin i don't have much interest in computer parts anyway, so
that's a catch-22
danielpbarron: yeah
that's
the question.. what
to 'divest' into.. old computer parts?
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 12:17:49; davout:
to me
there are exactly
two use cases for bitcoin/blockchain
