mircea_popescu: "The Bechdel
test (/ˈbɛkdəl/ BEK-dəl) asks whether a work of fiction features at least
two women who
talk
to each other about something other
than a man."

the space-politics kinda weak
punkman: "Subgraph believes
that managed runtimes and memory-safe languages should be used where possible. For
this reason, Subgraph Mail,
the Metaproxy, and other components of
the Subgraph OS are written in higher level languages
that are memory-safe or run in managed runtimes, making
them less susceptible
to memory corruption style implementation vulnerabilities. "
punkman: "Subgraph Mail is a new desktop email client written from scratch, with its own implementation of OpenPGP built-in."
that will surely end well "
ben_vulpes: punkman:
that would explain why i john kerry all over
them
BingoBoingo: And danielpbarron seems
to have already bothered
BingoBoingo: ioerror dude is
tor developer. Bothering likely goes straight
to fort meade
ben_vulpes: hey one post slightly more frequently
than every week for
two years
ben_vulpes: remember when mircea_popescu liked
to
troll people into starting blogs?
ben_vulpes: mwell i don't really 'get
to' code except for
tmsr any more
adlai is glad
to see ben_vulpes using lisp enough
to need
these!
adlai: infuriatingly enough, `C-c C-d h` does not work for loop keywords such as
the for-=-then clause
adlai: second only
to C-c C-d #
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> who is
this aquentin again? <<
troll dude
punkman: ben_vulpes: I don't lisp but
thought lisp was cool enough
to let you inspect everything in repl
ben_vulpes: oh man adlai i didn't even know i was looking for
that
adlai: the handwritten notes bit ("5.2 Early Politics and Posturing") is excellent, all relevant
to bitcoin
too
ben_vulpes: punkman: either 1/10
troll or you have better repl foo
than my incompetent self and should share
this wisdom
ben_vulpes: however i don't see myself doing
that any
time soon, and sicp is...somewhat higher on
the list.
ben_vulpes: man is anyone from X3J13 still alive at
this point?
ben_vulpes: thank you for
the 6 pairs of 'ai'
that you saved me from
typing over
the next month
ben_vulpes: also
thank you for
the link
to chapter six.
ben_vulpes: i'll
take cab funpletion over dick blocks any day
adlai: hmm,
tab completion is worth defending
ben_vulpes: adlai: a) i am annoyed
that someone has coopted your 3 letters of
tab completion and never says anything in here b) monthly averages and standard deviations of
transaction fees as percentage of
total miner subsidy would be far more informative
ben_vulpes: > sending a supremely strong message
to all
adlai: BingoBoingo: it's just a single letter,
they're even adjacent on dvorak
BingoBoingo: adlai: BTW you did
the off by
thousand error
thing
ben_vulpes has
to step out, apologies for asking at an beforehand-unknowably-importune moment
adlai: this no-next-defaults-to-init behavior is potentially confusing because
the do macro does not have
this behavior
ben_vulpes: where can i get my hands on complete documentation for
the loop macro?
adlai: leaving out next rebinds
to init each
time
adlai: for x = init
then next
adlai: correct, but
the full picture is much more subtle
punkman: is it different
than setting a regular variable?
ben_vulpes: adlai: do you know how
to rebind a var
to a specific value at
the beginning of every iteration
through a loop in cl?
punkman: perhaps a
token-replace operation, but
then we are venturing in ascii's "turing-complete-diff"
punkman: the obvious stuff: file deletes without needing
to dump whole file in
the diff. also
thinking on how
to handle simple renames.
punkman: I'm gonna hack on my diff implementation
today, any suggestions welcome
ben_vulpes: although

☟︎ punkman: the space-noir was good,

☟︎ punkman: mats:
there is a SyFy
thing called
The Expanse nao << possibly
the only SyFy show I didn't stop watching mid-episode
adlai is open
to suggestions of fee market statistics
to display, beyond
the obvious "picture is worth >9K shares"
mats: OLPC does
too, but i've mentioned
that before.
ben_vulpes:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-02-2016#1395703 << so here's what my (unreleased, v2) vtron does: it grabs all patches and all sigs, merges
them into an alphabetically sorted list, and
then munches
through
that list attaching sigs whose name matches
the previous patch
to
that patch. is
this a blindingly stupid
thing
to do? i realize
that it depends implicitly on
the naming convention, but would like
to hear about other unrealized
☝︎ ben_vulpes: ;;later
tell asciilifeform ^^ i believe
that i understand how vdiff works, if you'd confirm, i'd appreciate.
ben_vulpes: keep in mind
that awk is acting on
the
text output of diff, it's not recursing anywhere
ben_vulpes: oh because
that's in
the context of
the awk statement and
the file path is
the second entry in
that context?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: how is it disambiguated from $2, which is
the dir input
to diff?
ben_vulpes: ^^ asciilifeform, mod6, phf, polarbeard, mircea_popescu: if any of you are willing
to explain
the inscrawkutable vdiff
to my maleducated self i'd be much obliged
ben_vulpes: yeah i basically have nfi how vdiff is making
the per-file hashes happen
ben_vulpes: (also ascii_rear i am having
trouble understanding how vdiff
turns $2 [which i'd expect
to be
the dir] into individual files for hashing and writing into
the vpatch)
ben_vulpes: ascii_rear: i recall reading in
the log
that your vtron's implicit pressing behavior is asciibetical up
to indicated head, but i'm having
trouble reconciling
that with other reqs i once read:
that vs press longest chain, and also
that vs press all usable patches. would
that accurately modify
to 'longest chain up
to indicated head'?
ben_vulpes: perhaps
though i would jump out of a plane with a mispacked parachute?
ben_vulpes: i don't see how
this is anything other
than busy work, if i'm
to curate
the patchdir for presses anyways.
mircea_popescu: and in random
tardstalk craft, "Stop posting
that I am a scam or it is simple I can have my lawyer visit your site and send you a size and assist letter not
to be slandering."
assbot: Logged on 07-02-2016 00:25:13; ben_vulpes: asciilifeform, mod6: if pressing is intended
to be curated by patch selection in
the patches dir, seals in
the sealsdir and keys in
the wotdir, why does "press" need
to
take a head?
mircea_popescu: The information potentially accessed from
the cloud providers included names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, and gift card numbers. Gift card numbers could have been used
to make unauthorized purchases."
mircea_popescu: "Beginning on October 3 and continuing
through December 18, 2015, an unknown party accessed without authorization
two cloud providers used by Gyft.
This unknown party was able
to view or download certain Gyft user information stored with
these cloud providers and make a file containing some of
that user information.
adlai: ultimately, it doesn't matter in quite a similar manner
to how past orderbook data doesn't matter
adlai: (the relevant bits are
the "mm, not quite")
assbot: Logged on 05-03-2015 22:14:45; mike_c: mm, not quite. because order book could have been better
than price history at
times
adlai: hmm,
this is a bit confusing of gribble: block #397151 still uses
the same difficulty. it determines
the next difficulty, but
the first block using
the new diff is 397152
adlai is qntring up
the impending diff increase, adding statistics about
the "fee market"; any specific requests/suggestions?
phf: asciilifeform: nobody gives a shit re unpaid leave << maybe when begged for day at a
time, but
try
taking a week of unpaid leave ~explicitly~ for vacation, and you're going
to find yourself in "conversation" with hr pretty fast. putting
that in contract is even
trickier. it's a control issue, first and foremost
mircea_popescu: anyway, matching
tops and curtains' gotta be some new sort of win.
ben_vulpes: today in imgurlols: "Unknown file

ben_vulpes: "In Washington,
the committee is known as
the ATM, because banks and hedge funds shower
the chairman with contributions."
danielpbarron: well
they don't come with 'b-a' in
the name with content about blockchains
