mircea_popescu: i mean they're not even trying.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo that thing can't possibly be anything but a scam at this point, of the "magic doubler address" ilk.
punkman: I think you gotta either use a release or care about which patches you use, now if there are different production and testing releases that's another thing
mircea_popescu: what does it even mean ? there was a fork! there's ten forks a day. wtf.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo that is the most cretinous thing i ever heard.
assbot: Will the Bitcoin Classic 2MB hard fork happen in 2016? - BetMoose ... ( http://bit.ly/242LgBu )
mircea_popescu: i am thinking : maybe including a comment line as "this patch is intended to be applied on prev hash blabla" would do it.
asciilifeform: but they ~all~ gotta differ
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yup. or any other thing. here's a thought : once one hash differs, the ones downstream will because it includes the different hash
mircea_popescu: sorry alf, you're part of a standards group. this re-do work 10k times is par for the cutpurse.
asciilifeform: (say, add the skull in comment to every .cpp and .h, and to make, ...)
asciilifeform: also the hashes will have to actually differ
asciilifeform: rather than signing 1000000 things
asciilifeform: can we do this starting with next release ?
mircea_popescu: punkman no, cart is currently put before horse. sounds like putting cart and horse back in the right places
mircea_popescu: hoping that mod6 will save you from inclusion arbitrarily is a lot fucking weaker than just having the proper control of only signing in the test branch, and choosing where yhou sign
mircea_popescu: whenever you sign something on the main trunk, you are swearing with your life it is good to go. \
mircea_popescu: make no mistake about it : it is NOT the user who relies on foundation curation. it is THE CODER.
mircea_popescu: they complicate things in the correct manner, however.
asciilifeform: parallel trees complicate things
mircea_popescu: ratger than expecting users to use any other buttons than the buttons, design the system so that it actually uses the buttons properly.
mircea_popescu: this way people can base on THAT tree and know for certain they will never end up included in production.
mircea_popescu: it is increasingly obvious, to me, that there should be a new genesis made, signed by a specially generated identity, "test".
assbot: Successfully updated the rating for mod6 from 1 to 2 with note: Hours of trb instruction and support for my node.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just making a point for the benefit of the fox here.
shinohai: !rate mod6 2 Hours of trb instruction and support for my node.
ben_vulpes: perhaps a better formulation would be that there are those who curate their own patch selection and those who delegate to the foundation.
mircea_popescu: unlike you, i have explicit author names and explicit trust relations with them. so... bald men shouldn't throw rox!
mircea_popescu actually got awoken once because the damned things were wailing exactly like someone trying to shove a baby through a pasta strainer.
asciilifeform: the actual fighting tends to happen in the evening
mircea_popescu: oh, they're having primaries.
mircea_popescu: did you run electricity "by hand" from the plant to your shaver or just not shaving ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes eh hush, you've not done something by hand yet today.
mircea_popescu: what tourney, "which can imitate a five year old being torn limb from limb closer to life" ?
assbot: Logged on 13-02-2016 02:18:58; mod6: <+ben_vulpes> my mind recoils at the notion of running a reference implementation compiled without knowing the patchlist going into it << im not sure how to reconsile this. either you don't know what you're doing and you use a fully automated build script, or you do, and you build by hand.
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-02-2016#1404370 << that is *precisely* the line that cleaves the world. ☝︎
asciilifeform: speaking of cats, they are having some sort of tourney in my back yard
ben_vulpes: ask me not these questions. i have no answers. i bring only gore from the depths.
ben_vulpes: punkman "why were those tartars locked in boxes to starve to death?"
mircea_popescu: turns out there's exactly 0 demand for her as an 'entrepreneur' or w/e it was, so i guess the cats await.
mircea_popescu: ok, so chick thinks she's special, a lifetime of progenitorial slavery not fit for the likes of her. fine! jolly good!
asciilifeform: '“But you’re taking a massive risk! That’s so brave!” they’d say. I never thought so. The biggest risk in my eyes was going to university, getting a stable job, and sliding into a comfortable life. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I knew it wasn’t me.'
ben_vulpes: do you also ask the clowns why they paint their faces?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sarcasm is wasted on the young!
ben_vulpes: in news from the horror show: https://github.com/klen/python-mode/blob/develop/Rakefile
mircea_popescu: after all... woman face is supposed to not be wrinkly, right ?
mircea_popescu: it occurs to me, meditating upon alf's observation, that there's probably massive evolution pressure on this, to the level of the evolutionary pressure on breast size.
asciilifeform: 'Over 90% of tech startups fail, but I never thought my baby, 99dresses, would be one of them.' << gold
mircea_popescu: redditard has brief moment of clarity : "I never realised how much I hate democracy until I had to endure idiots (like myself) insisting that their voice be heard regarding the blocksize despite not having any of the required technical knowledge."
BingoBoingo: Honestly at this point many of the lolfish are starting to taste the same.
mircea_popescu: damn i thought for sure we lolled at this before
mircea_popescu: "My startup failed, and this is what it feels like : the most banal shit ever"
assbot: Logged on 13-02-2016 01:32:22; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-02-2016#1404057 << i didn't know you swung that way!
jurov: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-02-2016#1404199 i'm actually swung to tease hysterical irc nicknames ☝︎

BingoBoingo: I thought that's what fiverrrar was for?
punkman: handy for timelapsing and other things
BingoBoingo: punkman: ty, but it's a fucking camera. I don't see much cause for dicking its firmware up yet.

BingoBoingo: In other news canon powershot A495 (2010 vintage) solid little camera. Picked one up for $25 and change. Manages to get by using two AA batteries.
mircea_popescu: imagien the productivity gains if all the apple products were bricked.
BingoBoingo: <mats> should be relatively easy to impersonate an aapl ntp server and brick phones on a network << Imagine if a terrorist messed with BGP servers

BingoBoingo has been gradually shifting to felt tipped pens as he writes less on paper.

danielpbarron: people kept complaining the confed flag was too offensive
danielpbarron: heh i switched to Rhodesia flag on my profile pic last night
BingoBoingo: I dunno. Dixie seems to have substantial branding value due to the length of history. Mebbe we can save that for our eventual electrifying literary magazine?
mircea_popescu: qntra, the... electrocuting news site.
mircea_popescu: lol BingoBoingo. give it time, overnight dangerousness is usually obtained in a decade or two.
mircea_popescu: im not even sure they have a perfect user. they don't aim to anything.
BingoBoingo: If you say subversive things on twitter and haven't been banned yet, it is because they have determined you are an unimportant loon. This is why I find twitter offensive for its failure to ban me.
danielpbarron: if it weren't for my extremely offensive views, i'm really their perfect user
mircea_popescu: nah, they actually go by this inept shit.
danielpbarron: i thought maybe it was because i have a really old account and i don't spam, ever
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: That's a sign the twitter stasi find you unimportant
mircea_popescu: an entire "culture" of retards lies buried there, reddit, cracked, wikipedia, twitter, the bell bottoms and disco hair of the 2000s.
danielpbarron: heh i'm not banned yet, and i tweeted the death warrant
BingoBoingo: dangerous for people who think twitter like tor is relevant to an anything
mircea_popescu: turns out mps banning you sticks, you banning them doesn't. who knew.
mircea_popescu: the [sort of] people who bought slashdot will soon buy twitter and that's that.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo eh, dangerous for whom ? twitter is a goner, they're not making money, they can't make money, the share is collapsing, a 2020 with twitter still around is an impossibility.
BingoBoingo: For alf who does not want to feed google https://archive.is/i3uRl
BingoBoingo: ^ Twitter makes banning all mircea_popescus official policy
deedbot-: [Qntra] Twitter Adopting Dangerous Benesch Speech Framework - http://qntra.net/2016/02/twitter-adopting-dangerous-benesch-speech-framework/
BingoBoingo: It does even less things when gone.
mircea_popescu: eh waht do i care, let the kids be leet and shit.
BingoBoingo: The most important part of any wordpress installation is the deletion of xmlrpc.php
mircea_popescu: it doesn't work, but then again neither did whatever the "hacker team" was doing, so...
mircea_popescu: but hey, italy isn't a part of africa, populated by first-generation-in-shoes subhuman horde. they got like technologees and shit. can spam like teh pros!
mircea_popescu: in other lolz : 164.132.48.48 is at ~70k loads of trilema.com/xmlrpc.php over the past 3 days. comes to twenty a minute or some shit.
