mircea_popescu: admire
the cast iron heating element, and all
the stale memes. my adolescence screaming from
the dusts of
time!
mircea_popescu: roughly speaking
the equivalent of a man who married a street whore, had a daughter with her somehow, and now
that
the girl's of age being almost 11and a half he is very fond of demonstrating
to random passerbys in
the street just how unlike her mother
the youngun is,
through
the age old process of stuffing bills in her various articles of clothing as "see, she doesn't even
take
the stocks off!"

their nonsense.

mircea_popescu: roughly speaking
the equivalnt of a shelf of make-up in
the workshop or "i wanna watch
tv on my computor" sorta
things. get a husband / get a
tv set if
that's what you're
trying
to do and get out of everyone's way.
mircea_popescu: it's really one of
those
things
that should never have been.
mircea_popescu: i've been spending
the ~week since
the various selectatron discussions meditating on
the problem. i do not believe javascript is rescuable. not withstanding all
the effort derps put into it, javascript is fundamentally a broken idea
that for
this reason can never be useful.

mircea_popescu: and speaking of "good
things
that ruin other good
things", is it generally obvious
to
the esteemed b-a WHY
the movement
to "more women in
tech", "more women in army", "more women in bla-bla"
trends ? i
thought it is, but
then again maybe i'm
the only one
to whom it is.\
☟︎ mircea_popescu: d if it WERE addressable it'd just be shittier
text. much like
the uniform for a whore, some good
things ruin other good
things.
mircea_popescu: you may
think
that "hey, so you just found your solution, have
the machine put a ¶ or a § before each paragraph and an anchor on it", but no. flat
text is fundamentally different from ADRESSABLE
text in general,
the "paragraph-addressable" is a least-offensive kludge. and yes
trilema is written deliberately, and constantly, with a view
to breaking addressability from outside. because
that's
the sort of
text it is, an
mircea_popescu: fortunately btcbase does not actually need it as much as flat
text. (there's a difference between
text
that's line-addressable and
text
that's paragraph-addressable.)
mircea_popescu: so goes my faint, if generous but doomed attempt
to rescue javascript.
mircea_popescu: from what i hear lisp is "already standardized". i personally am not
terribly persuaded by
this claim, but will entertain it on a
technical basis as
the cases may come. who knows, maybe gabriel was right and it is.
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 28-02-2016 07:13:15; phf: i don't imagine it matters at
the moment, can always shuffle
things
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-02-2016#1417192 <<< current shiva is
two steps away from even ~beginning~
the process of standardization. people with lisp experience will supply common but ultimately inconsequential conventions (hyphens plox!), but in general speaking, shiva's usage and lisp's general lack of practical usage or utility means
that our work here will actually standardize LISP just as much as bitco

to be amputated ~whole~. no motherfucking stumps.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-02-2016#1417175 << i support
this.
the problem with
the "easier" approach of "we don't cut whole parts but arbitrary fragments" is
that now you not only baked in
the fragmentator, which becomes one of your dependencies, but also have
to keep
track of arbitrary fragments, which are numerous (this is why replacing one file at a
time, while dubious, is at least not involving MORE mov

ben_vulpes: !up
TheRealJohnGalt are we
through
the netsplit and can i yell at you about your flapping connection yet?
ben_vulpes: sing songs from mary poppins while reading gpg-grams
to defeat
the high-fidelity microphones!
ben_vulpes: mirror
terminal output and learn
to read backwards!
punkman: ben_vulpes: second part isn't needed, sasl happens before
the client can join anything
AaronvanW: punkman ben_vulpes: will look into
that,
thanks
ben_vulpes: AaronvanW: you want "sasl", and
to instruct whatever client you're using
to not join channels until it's done swizzling
the sasl
punkman: AaronvanW: use SASL
to login
ben_vulpes: phf, asciilifeform:
this is a real
treat
to work with
AaronvanW: ben_vulpes: ah. any way
to fix
that?
ben_vulpes: anyways, i'm off
to bed.
thanks punkman.
ben_vulpes: why not just
throw nGPL into WriteSetting?
ben_vulpes: assigns nLP equivalent
to nGPL and
throws it down
the chute?
ben_vulpes: punkman: yeah, a bool
there doesn't make sense because it's used as a number of processors.
ben_vulpes: get-difficulty is a straight rip of
the c from bitcoinrpc.cpp
ben_vulpes: well
thanks
to phf's fine work, i implemented get-connection-count, get-difficulty, get-generate, and am going
to sleep on set-generate.
ben_vulpes: a casual browsing of
the source suggests
to me
that
the processor limiting could be excised.
thoughts?
punkman: not a bad idea
to write down reading notes and share on mailing list

☟︎ ben_vulpes: and yes, yes.
the whole rpc wart must be frozen with nitrogen and smashed into a zillion pieces.
punkman: I remember when I first saw "Help
text is returned in an exception"
punkman: 10 year inquiry
that results in nothing in particular
☟︎ ben_vulpes: punkman: wasn't
that forever ago? or is
there a new case
punkman: "the release of
the final report of a lengthy public inquiry into Mr. Litvinenko’s death."
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 27-02-2016 16:58:25; asciilifeform: either
that or i finally got fed
the polonium.
phf: ooh ooh,
try apropos! also meta-tab completion!

to bed before i bog you down in emacs config arcana

the universe

☟︎ phf: did you pass
the ./bitcoind a -swank argument?
phf: if you just connect
to 1336 with netcat, and
type a bunch of random letters, does it bail with "wrong length" error?
phf: but line numbers better match
the vpatch lines,
that requires patching
the vpatch parser, so i'm just going
to sleep instead :)
punkman: phf, maybe better
to do line numbers and use line ranges in
the link anchor
phf: signers is misguided, shows everyone participating in

☟︎ ben_vulpes: phf: consider linking
to sigs from patch page?
ben_vulpes: you people seem
to
think
that i actually handle
the rods myself
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2016 22:30:16; phf: he can get me a pm at $150/hr and
two junior devs $50/hr each in no
time. selection will work by next iteration, but will depend on jquery and react
ben_vulpes: you'll probably want
to re-grease
the decompilator with some euros while we're at it,
that never hurts and can frequently improve end-user experience
ben_vulpes: i recommend a
thorough course of benjies, piped straight
through
the developer funnel.
☟︎ phf: maybe a skilled fullstack developer could fix
the selection widget for us
