mircea_popescu: what exactly "libreboot is no longer part of the gnu project" is supposed to mean is anyone's guess. the whole existence of gnu is in the form of licenses. they can'
t retroactively change these. so they'll what, move to mit/bsd licenses in the future ? nobody gives a shit. are they selling to apple ? wouldn'
t be the first time fraudulent operator tried this under the guise of "good reasonz, guise!!!1"
mircea_popescu: anyway, sounds like cheap drama. and it can'
t be THAT seeing how rms used a laptop before 2013.
mircea_popescu: depends. if you think yeast is a metaphysical process then it indeed needn'
t.
pete_dushenski: you think this is somehow unique to residential construction because that's what you're familiar with. it isn'
t. commercial, industrial, etc are all the same. news flash : building require maintenance.
mircea_popescu: i can'
t recall now if it was from the mp or the wp part of the family, but i think mostly the latter really.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it wouldn'
t need to alter it however. afaik mp-wp doesn'
t either ; handles redirects itself like a grown-up system ??
a111: Logged on 2016-04-07 18:10 phf: the person that i was a [big bank] vendor with is actually doing that right now. a trained apl-er and mathematician, having spent few years interacting with [big bank] decision makers now consults on a handshake basis for companies that need a problem solved, but don'
t care if it comes with a pretty windows gui
phf: (i had to tweak a postgresql search lexing phase just few days ago, and fwiw it doesn'
t givey you "grep" out of the box. you have to do Traditional Text Search approach tokenize,lex,index by weights, etc.)
phf: but since i don'
t have to expose it to wild net, and rate of checks is low, i can just have a bottle file per task, just doing its own specific massaging
phf: i'm only querying for what was mentioned in logs ("annotations"), since i didn'
t want the split to break the xref facility
Framedragger: right. see trinque, you don'
t see "lazy" in that context as having any descriptive context (what shinohai's pots); i do. a simple disagreement regarding the use. but i of course have to agree with your general sentiment...
trinque: what it means is this limp dicked "I did a thing but don'
t judge me pls" that produced the mountain of filth in which we live
Framedragger: can'
t write to logs dir anymore, i was trying to restrict things more

http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160920/#15 << not so ; the attitude as well as the possibility of success are of interest to the largest number of people speaking this language. especially if they currently don'
t know this. they may "proclaim irrelevant" whatever, but their green friend is interested in them.
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-14: [21:23:49] <phf> log. so at some point we were in "log according to btcbase" situation. with the recent move to multiple bots and more importantly multiple logs, we now have "log according to ..." model, which we can still though attempt to reconcile. once we move to gossip there can'
t even be a talk of single log. it's always "log according to whoever heard and relayed it" by design.
mircea_popescu: and the reason coinbase doesn'
t deserialize for you is that it contains that string arbitrarily.
trinque: shame on the next person who implements any of this without consulting me first, given I handed you lot a full implementation of the logging part, and that I can'
t remember the last time I had to *touch* deedbot.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes (if you think about it, the first block breaks with the software-as-protocol because eg it doesn'
t reference a prior block. rather than bake a test into code forever, more reasonable to just make it by hand.)

mod6: Yeah, was just clicking on it to see the upclose JTAG points, but ya, didn'
t find the image.
shinohai: I didn'
t archive the source on that one because it has stupid javascript or something that obscued the article, making it pointless.
ben_vulpes: i haven'
t seen gribble quit in some time.
shinohai: I know but there aren'
t even lolz any more, nary an ingenious scam to be found.
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-19: [18:25:45] <asciilifeform> tx can'
t be any bigger than block.
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-19: [18:25:12] <ben_vulpes> did some late night back-of-the envelope on script length and miminum transaction size and i don'
t recall it breaching u32
mircea_popescu: doesn'
t work, of course, but then again lemmings aren'
t looking for solutions ; merely for the appearance thereof.
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-19: [17:53:56] <asciilifeform> (you don'
t know that it will be orphaned until later)
mircea_popescu:
http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160919/#461 << technically you don'
t know it will be orphaned ever, because "being orphan" is not a quality of a block/chain. if tomorrow we decide to extend an "orphan" from 2014 and in the process strand extant bitcoin, we ~can~.
phf: asciilifeform: ha, still doesn'
t account for 7-trit machines!
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> "dad i wanna get married" "honeybunch, you'll get old and your tits will sag and it'll suck. don'
t get married, it's a dead end" << LOL
phf: it doesn'
t matter, because on your box with 7-trit trytes you make your reader/writer infrastructure read it correctly
phf: (4 sequence uint32_t))
phf: (4 lock-time uint32_t))
phf: (4 version uint32_t 1)
ben_vulpes: (there's a fair amount of garbage in the thing i didn'
t feel like cluttering the discusison with)
phf: ben_vulpes: i still think there's some misunderstanding. once you have a compact size reader, you don'
t automatically get "read N objects of compact size count"
ben_vulpes: did some late night back-of-the envelope on script length and miminum transaction size and i don'
t recall it breaching u32
ben_vulpes: i don'
t even think you can have max compact size anything in trb.
phf: ooh, you don'
t write c, yes, it's a common pattern
phf: oh, then i don'
t grok your question. "yes, it's exactly like any other hand-rolled variable length integer in c land"
phf: well, while asciilifeform's yak shaving, i don'
t think this is correct way to handle the type
phf: ben_vulpes: you don'
t have to store first-octet since, it's a property of variable-integer (also if you change variable-integer, you'll have to make sure to correspondingly update first-octet)
mircea_popescu: "dad, i want to put the cat's head on the dog's body, can i borrow your hair trimmer ?" "that won'
t work, it's too small and it will get clogged in blood. here's the chainsaw."
mircea_popescu: (i'm not even proposing it isn'
t, just wanna see what the showing would look like.)
mircea_popescu: trinque his objection is to the notion of "learn" and "knowledge" involved in that statement though, you might've noticed. and i don'
t really see it's altogether weak.
trinque: doesn'
t bother me one bit, only demonstrated that "I don'
t know how to network these two machines" and got thunked to... learn that.
mircea_popescu: no, it's not just you, it's me too. but he didn'
t ask us!
mircea_popescu: it ~is~ as if all you wanna talk about is why he shouldn'
t do what he figures he wants to do. this isn'
t very bright, is it ?
mircea_popescu: "dad i wanna get married" "honeybunch, you'll get old and your tits will sag and it'll suck. don'
t get married, it's a dead end"
trinque isn'
t mad at the idea of a hardware db
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform YOU don'
t. because one's ideology, ie, theoretical insight, is a shield for that one.
mircea_popescu: trinque having a sane prototype is not a bad idea ; whether you can or you can'
t make it.
trinque: this isn'
t a reason not to do it, but it describes limitations that are unavoidable
mircea_popescu: yes. the "can'
t abstract broken software with other software" is a restatement of godel, "There may not exist specific algorithm A for any formal system F that includes statements of certain elementary mathematical truth as well as its own consistency so that A will create subsystem F' which is consistent and an homology of F"
phf: asciilifeform: fwiw there isn'
t actual athena in mcclim, it's a skin designed to look that way
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: "but you can'
t abstract over hardware"
mircea_popescu: phf in his defense, nobody has any fucking patience to fuck with computers. if anyone did, they wouldn'
t be learning how to program.
phf: well, gabriel_laddel doesn'
t have the patience to grok the system he's hosting on from the user perspective, how's he going to upkeep it from the dev perspective?
trinque: asciilifeform: no but whichever gentoo init script or something wasn'
t bolting it on correctly
trinque can'
t wait until masamune realizes that google fucked gentoo into a million pieces
trinque: in related lul, I installed gentoo on this here laptop this weekend, and promptly removed it after x11 terminals couldn'
t be launched because /dev/pts is a magical fake filesystem with apparently myriad knobs and switches.
scriba: vulnerabilities involved to the public. Without this information the public simply assumed
t gabriel_laddel: I'm perfectly happy to use a lisp socket, but if I can'
t do it via netcat, I don'
t think it'll work via lisp
