asciilifeform: if you want lcd, can get it in any size, up to , idk, metres
asciilifeform: and tiny, too.
asciilifeform: that's an lcd, mod6
asciilifeform: where you edit 1 line at a time, and full screen is rarely drawn
asciilifeform: Mocky: it'd work entirely cleanly, imho, with 'vi'
asciilifeform: but i currently suspect that this is 1 of those 'only asciilifeform wants' items, and hence won't exist any time soon. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i'd very willingly trade my coloured emacs for 1bit b&w thing, at least on sunny day.
asciilifeform: the ordinary kind , with grey, loox indoors like 'old newspaper' but outside, in sun, is pretty great imho.
asciilifeform: (4bit grey)
asciilifeform: the latter gives iirc 16 shades.
asciilifeform: mod6: the chinese make 3color thing, but it has poorer contrast than the classical one
asciilifeform: ( hell, i'd live with 'vi' myself if that were the only cost.. )
asciilifeform: and i expect the 'vi' users even moar so.
asciilifeform: Mocky: depends who 'we'. e.g. mine, work ok with partial refreshing.
asciilifeform: imho 'ideal' epaper gadget would simply have serial port and emulate vt100, and then could fit to anyffing at all.
asciilifeform: Mocky: the linked part was claimed to fit 'rpi header' (i.e. the 40pin thing on various arm boards, incl. our rk3328) with 0 solder or fancy interfacing. but apparently nodice.
asciilifeform: the panels also have a common cathode thing for clear-all-accumulated-rubbish
asciilifeform: Mocky: correct
asciilifeform: i've found that i personally think palpably smoother when on balcony, in sunlight. but atm can only do this with printouts.. ☟︎
asciilifeform: you still need ~full draw for scrolling/paging tho
asciilifeform: where you specify a rectangle etc
asciilifeform: Mocky: afaik all of the decent chipsets support 'partial draw'
asciilifeform: a ~1s redraw would moar than suffice for emacs.
asciilifeform: 'eink' is moar or less exactly The Right Thing for hypothetical 'thinking man's lappy'.
asciilifeform: ( no known lcd worx worth half a shit in sunlight, unless one pumps sumthing like 50 watt into the backlight, and even then )
asciilifeform: 'tis a shame tho, asciilifeform would much like a rk3328 lappy that worx for whole day in open sunlight..
asciilifeform: so possibly for the better...
asciilifeform: i was able to find a film clip on www of somebody who actually got hold of the thing, and it didnt redraw in ANYTHING like 1sec
asciilifeform: read whole thing
asciilifeform: mno
asciilifeform: http://logs.bvulpes.com/asciilifeform?d=2018-10-1#437758 << meanwhile conclusion of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-20#1852509 story . ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( luckily -- perhaps -- there's plenty to do on surface )
asciilifeform: but to summarize subthread -- asciilifeform gets 1 day / wk, and that's on a ~good~ wk, to run the deep drills. the rest of the time, stuck on surface.
asciilifeform: confirmed, fixed.
asciilifeform: lol
asciilifeform: and yes [insert oblig thread!111] if i knew how to stop while keeping the lights on, i'd've stopped in 2013.
asciilifeform: at least not in the morbid form asciilifeform gets.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun expect you'd have the 'reboot' problem, no.
asciilifeform: proggies, articles, theorems.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ideas come ~24/7. i was speaking of unrolling-into-concretes
asciilifeform: nicoleci: you have unclosed links in yer page, last 2 items
asciilifeform: i.e. saturday, 'loading', sunday -- doing, then 5d of microshit, then new saturday, 'load' again...
asciilifeform: the repeated 'loading' costs quite a bit of time.
asciilifeform: i cannot speak for e.g. trinque , phf, mod6 , but would not be surprised if same is the case there.
asciilifeform: the sad troof is that ~all of asciilifeform's 'deep' worx (i.e. the ones that require loading a whole proggy / algo 'into head' ) happen on vacations & weekends (when the latter not filled with saecular crapola) rather than nights
asciilifeform: but i dun expect to have this 'problem' any time soon
asciilifeform: i do wonder sometimes how i'd organize day if i actually had whole day to tmsr
asciilifeform: verily
asciilifeform: but ideally oughta go 'in' on 1st pass imho
asciilifeform: nah
asciilifeform: it is imperfect approach, and unpleasantly reminiscent of how leporidae eat their grass. but i havent found substantially better algo.
asciilifeform: sometimes will actually find missed / improperly-digested nugget.
asciilifeform: pretty often when going to sleep i read coupla wks of log, again & again...
asciilifeform: lol
asciilifeform: i have exactly same problem ( '10 pounds of shit in a 1 pound bag' ) , sorta assumed mod6 et al suffer similar.
asciilifeform: ( lotsa folx in usa, esp. on the sadder telcos, have foreign call switched off entirely )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i get china regularly. but they go via pwned usa boxen.
asciilifeform: harar
asciilifeform: then 'prince with millions', who else..
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: maybe dhl ?
asciilifeform: lol
asciilifeform: it's jawdropping retardation, but entirely on par with shitoshi's style.
asciilifeform: gotta be
asciilifeform: cuz otherwise they'll only be sent whatever's getting pushed, and it'll almost always be 'bastard' from their pov.
asciilifeform: noads oughta regularly demand next valid block from peers.
asciilifeform: i abolished shitoshi's 'speshulness' of ~boot time~, but to make ~peer connection time~ similarly speshul, is also mistake.
asciilifeform: with my orig, a node can happily sit for potentially years without getting new blox.
asciilifeform: and i'm beginning to suspect that it, or some variant thereof, is The Right Thing
asciilifeform: mod6: ben_vulpes's patch is on my conveyor tho.
asciilifeform: mod6: nope. only my orig one
asciilifeform: ( or rather, is incompatible with 'no se fia' )
asciilifeform: the 'push' model of block propagation, is simply wrong.
asciilifeform: meanwhile in the trb observatory, http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/cMfST/?raw=true << restarted zoolag, and confirms my earlier hypothesis -- 'bastards' from friendlies are simply when they throw their latest block blindly at each peer, without concern for who actually can eat it, and who cannot. shitoshi's shit protocol.
asciilifeform: makes sense
asciilifeform: ah
asciilifeform: ently built , can reach'em
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856553 << lol, seems to me that we regularly argue opposite sides of this puzzler. but yes, i'd luvv for there to be somewhere a hidden reserve of sane folx who will join republic and do quality work. but somehow they aint here yet, and i'm inclined to agree with mircea_popescu's much earlier hypothesis, where they either dun exist or are buried beneath such thick pantsuit iceberg that no drill pres ☝︎
asciilifeform: Mocky et al: i'ma restart with timestamps, and from here on.
asciilifeform: it's the historic norm in sane undertakings, yes
asciilifeform: ^
asciilifeform: 'yes explore antarctica, sure, but also crops gotta still be harvested back home'
asciilifeform: was asciilifeform's whole point, earlier
asciilifeform: right !
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unless i misread, mod6 asked to be relieved of the duty.
asciilifeform: it doesn't have much bearing on the problems faced by actual people, aside from drepper-extermination.
asciilifeform: the dreppers can, demonstrably, fuck up anyffing, if you let'em build a chair, it'll have a spiked cock protruding. and maybe six.
asciilifeform: i dun see why kernel gotta be involved.
asciilifeform: sane collated logging is imho major wish list item for fyootoor cuntoo.
asciilifeform: would like to expel mc-anyffing from the system, yes.
asciilifeform: then i cannot disagree
asciilifeform: but i read orig mircea_popescu observation as opposing very notion of collated log.
asciilifeform: and yes the existing item is bug-ridden.
asciilifeform: i.e. item that collates desired flows.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aint that whole idea of 'system log' to begin with ?
asciilifeform: tape printer is a constrained device, if you let >1 proggy operate it at same time, it will output garbage ( lines inside other lines etc )
asciilifeform: ( observe that civilized house has both main breaker ~and~ subs )
asciilifeform: imho it's an open problem.
asciilifeform: sorta how yer house has a mains breaker that toggles whole panel, and not simply 50 individual breakers.
asciilifeform: simply to not open 9000 hoods, when can open 1.
asciilifeform: who said 'don't know about'
