mircea_popescu: phf aha something like
that. i suppose
that's really it, move alt
to shift or caps or something.
tho really caps lock is kinda
too high, crosses
the fingers.
phf: actually i
think original
tom knight keyboard puts control and meta under pinky by spacing
things out
mircea_popescu: i keep
the pinky on ctrl. which is why making it further in would be inconvenient for me.
phf: it sort of relies on
the idea
that control is easier
to chord with. all
the control combos are basic
text manipulation stuff, so when i'm emacsing i chord with
the
thumb opposite of key, i.e. c-a is left pinky a, right
thumb control
mircea_popescu: anyway,
there's a 1 BTC with your name on it here. if you post an address in
this session you got it. if you disconnect before you registered a sig with assbot, you won't be able
to get it cuz i won't know it's you.
mircea_popescu: maqp i suppose you could look into
TRB. get yourself V and make your own secure node.
maqp: i.e. I'll have
to look into secure deployment when generating one.
maqp: Maybe. Provided
that
there are no obligations
to where my project should be heading
towards. I could use a cup of coffee, but it'll
take some
time
to learn how
to secure
the account and endpoint
mircea_popescu: phf why
the hell woulc you switch ctrl and alt around o.O

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-02-2016#1399083 << i've remapped it
to cntrl for decade+, like other sane folk << you know
that's a filthy unixism and is going
to overwork your already qwerty abused left hand even further? lispm puts control on both sides of spacebar, followed by alt/meta, follwed by other stuff..
☝︎ maqp: yeah, sure. I haven't had
the need for it. At least yet.
maqp: I see.
The problem with GPG however is
the lack of deniability. I'd rather keep
things off
the record <:
mircea_popescu: the other case is signed documents,
there's a bot
that keeps a notary service.
mircea_popescu: one case is ratings, which is how
that wot is made. i go !rate x y
mircea_popescu: nah, but you can order specific
things be entered into
the record by signing
them
maqp: So are you running something
that signs all your IRC messages or what are we
talking about?
maqp: Well, since
this is a public chat room with no secrecy/authenticity, I don't really see
the need at
the moment
maqp: I haven't had
the
time
to update
the
two other versions
mircea_popescu: also, it's a good idea
to register your pgp key with assbot.
that way you create an identity in
the wot we can attach
to.
maqp: thanks. I wanted
to recommend you guys
take a look at
the
TFC-NaCl
that's fresh out of oven and has better design compared
to OTP/CEV versions
mircea_popescu: you ever gave any
thought
to making some sort of marketable item out of
that ?
mircea_popescu: you're
the guy with
the open source otp / airgapped
thing are you ?
maqp: Hey. Came
to say hi after someone requested

punkman: he drove all
the important folks away from 0mq
too
mircea_popescu: tomes could be written on
the particulars of an overcompensating inferiority complex
that seeks
to remedy internal
tension
through far reaching "reforms" of
the outer world. i'm
too lazy.
tomes could similarly be written about
tardspedia, but i've done all of
that i could be bothered
to. so let's forget
they both ever existed and move on.

the Caps Lock key. It was funded by donations from
the campaign's supporters and eventually raised €194.91." <<
this is a good summary of
the man's contributions.
they evaluate
to < 200 euro + a wikipedia paragraph.

☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: punkman Pieter Hintjens is imo gunk,
the epitome of
the plowing fly.
mircea_popescu: by no means
the end of
the world. won't even buy you a walk's worth of county road.
mats: i wonder what it cost
to spin up
the 20% diff increase
punkman: dark city was fun, I
think I actually saw it in a cinema
punkman: well I couldn't really give you a good definition of "film-noir", but
there's a cynical private-dick
type guy, searching for a girl
that disappeared mysteriously
punkman: the film-noir aspects of
the series?
ascii_rear: what, phf is
the only user without warez copy?
phf: can't, all
the books are in storage, so i have
to
talk out of my ass
ascii_rear: phf : open your cltl2, it sure as hell is
there
punkman: the otp implementation is possibly decent
though
mircea_popescu: no but he has a point : if you're going
to
throw up might as well because "pidgin"
punkman: also uses dbus
to
talk
to pidgin
punkman: ascii_rear: can easily be adapted
to anything
that
takes serial protocol
mircea_popescu: ascii_rear in general, but mind
the peculiar way he is using it. merely
there
to hide metadata from
the people who don't have it anyway
punkman: relevant quote in something I was just reading: "History is not
the study of origins; rather it is
the analysis of all
the mediations by which
the past was
turned into our present."
mircea_popescu: ascii_rear
the backport works right now, for
trinque's use for instance. shivatronic,
tomorrow.
mircea_popescu: we're stuck discussing it with
them one at a
time. like education.
mircea_popescu: ascii_rear> most civilians i've introduced
to vtronics had problems with, initially,
this <<
the problem here is
that
the only reason why is not obvious is because of issues in
the reader's head, and a general
treatise
to address all possible personal issues can not really be made.
ascii_rear: most civilians i've introduced
to vtronics had problems with, initially,
this
ascii_rear: ben_vulpes: good 'v' summary - but i'm still waiting for somebody
to crap out a
treatise re:
the philosophical 'why' of it
☟︎ phf: still doing
things with public output (e.g. guy steele, richard gabriel, ...)
phf: ben_vulpes: man is anyone from X3J13 still alive at
this point? << probably better question, who has died, because
the majority of
the people form
the committee are still alive.
http://quimby.gnus.org/circus/cl/dpANS3/chap-0-edit-history.tex has an almost complete list of 104 ("These are attendees from minutes back
through 3/88"), of
those i recognize about 40, of
those ~~10 i've been in
touch with in
the past year and another ~~10 are
mircea_popescu: "I'll leave
the bombast and politics
to
those
typically responsible for such." << ha!
mircea_popescu: "Stan's program makes excellent and judicious use of global state, but I am nowhere near disciplined enough
to do
the same
to good effect" << a simple
trick [expert programmers hate]
to achieve
this is you know you can map state on paper for a while until it's learned.
mircea_popescu: funny application of
the entire symbols vs words debate, incidentally. was it deliberate ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "Stan delivers a beautifully
terse
toposort implementation here. He leverages language features in both data structure and control flow, and
the resulting code is
terse and readable." <<
too much
terse!
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes "Mirror of antecedents, returns patches
that depend on it's argument." << its.
phf: as far as what it does i hope formatting in
the paste above makes it more readable. for each line
that starts with --- or +++ awk extract
the filename and runs shasum on
the file,
then prints
the new diff line with shasum included. for other files it just outputs whatever's
there. so it's a filter
that
transforms mentions of diff'ed files into diffed files + checksum
phf: polarbeard: hey, do you mind linking
to your pgp key
mircea_popescu braces himself for a bunch of people doing riding shots of
themselves next.
mircea_popescu: guy sounds like a competent lawyer. (and yes, contrary
to
the view commonly held by people who have no idea,
there exists such a
thing as competent lawyers, it's an intellectual field like any other and just as capable
to contain "lovely gems and brilliant coups" as
the field of mel is.)
mircea_popescu: "In
TFC, Alice enters her message into
Tx.py running on her
Transmitter Module (TxM), a
TCB separated from network.
Tx.py encrypts
the message and signs
the ciphertext.
TxM
then relays
the packet
to Network Handler (NH)
through RS-232 interface and a data diode."
mircea_popescu: did you know sciencehatesyou actually abbreviates
to "shy" ? neither did i! but apparently it's what it stands for!
copypaste: people who have no say in anything
thinking
they matter
mircea_popescu: "I worry
that support for classic has become rather wishy-washy (like with everything else in bitcoin currently). Miners need
to get serious right now, no more messing around." hurr durr.
mircea_popescu: "It is decision
time guys and right now
the number of nodes is what is most important, perhaps, even decisive." << o hey, it
trickled down ?
mircea_popescu: you'd
think it's all made in hollywood, going on
the
tiresome superficiality.
mircea_popescu: this is not a bad idea, is it! imagine if all conversation between dudes was either absent (such as is
traditionally in westerns and other
tough-man stuff in
the style) or otherwise entirely about "booze bitches blunts" as in
the usual dudefare.
