jurov: catholic is
that
truth is what living Pope signs.
mod6: in
the case of v, if she had created a patch, and she was
the only one who signed it and her key expired
tomorrow, well, someone better grok it and sign it who's in
the current lordship
mircea_popescu: so basically key expiration as a concept is broken, in
that it induces a wrinkle between phenomena and representation.
mircea_popescu: take chetty's key. if it expires
tomorrow, what does
that change exactly ?
mircea_popescu: consequently
the expiration date makes no sense whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: mod6 vaguely unrelated points.
the owner's death guarantees a key with an expiration date will expire ; it also guarantees
the
trust for it needn't ever be updated - dead men
tell no lies.
mod6: genesis.vpatch (asciilifeform, mircea_popescu, mod6,
trinque)
mod6: which currently stands at 4 lords at
this point
mircea_popescu: jurov> generally, wot should ignore expiration dates. like, if alf dies, we're going
to
throw everything out? << holy shit!
mod6: well, you press out genesis if you
trust at least one person who has signed it.
mod6: so if i get hit by a bus, and alf has signed all
the patches,
then you're ok as long as you
trust alfie. or vice versa.
mod6: it should do what
these guys were
talking about before, just press up
to level where key you
trust has signed.
jurov: generally, wot should ignore expiration dates. like, if alf dies, we're going
to
throw everything out?
☟︎ mod6: i
thought ben_vulpes made a lisp deal?
mircea_popescu: adlai well, buffett donated his secretary's.
that count ?
jurov: ben_vulpes do you intend
to maintain v.py? *all* its unittests break from several causes
adlai waits for
the day when usg stagehands and muppeteers donate
their entire income
to
the IRS (saves on paperwork!)
mod6: tax payment
to
the Foundation.
mod6: I, jurov, am hereby submitting
the
treasurer's reward in full as my
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> 'From
the court filing for his recent arrest it looks like
this was a fairly clever
trap set for Bridges. <<< heh.
adlai: mircea_popescu: apologies for retardation, i may have just posted my comment
twice
mircea_popescu: and on
this specific
topic - i'd prefer if all discussion happens
there. it'll become impossible
to
track if we just do
the usual layered cake.
assbot: Logged on 01-02-2016 05:13:50; asciilifeform:
tinyscheme genesis is NOT PART OF
TRB !!1111111111111
mod6: i
think
there is some confusion
there. as you saw in
the logs.
mod6: so even
though I was able
to press out shiva, et. al.; it might be worthwhile
to make a list of which patches need
to be included
to make it work.
mod6: well,
they're your
things!
mod6: asciilifeform: cool with you if i send
those re-worked patches
to
the ML?
jurov: imo designing something
that forces miner
to have fast random access
to all whole blocks is a cryptographical challenge
jurov: ^to work as intended,
the nonce must depend on included
transactions in mined block,
too

mircea_popescu: think about it lol. it didn't just fall from
the sky, it's a construct!
mircea_popescu: but no, it's really not fair - i spring stuff like
this on people
that's been many months in
the building and
then what,
they gotta have an instareaction ?
mircea_popescu: yeah it's kinda rare for
trilema comments
to
take off
these days.
mod6: there is some good Q&A in
the comments.

pete_dushenski: inb4 "HOW DID I END UP WITH ALL
THE DEBT AND NO
TACO STAND JOB PROSPECTS ??!"
pete_dushenski: "This semester,
the university is offering an undergraduate course called “Taco Literacy: Public Advocacy and Mexican Food in
the US South.” Led by Steven Alvarez, an assistant professor in
the university’s Writing, Rhetoric, and Digital Studies department,
the class aims
to
teach students about Mexican foodways in Kentucky and
the broader South."
pete_dushenski: in other news,
this lead-in made me loller >> "At
the University of Kentucky,
taco knowledge is power."
pete_dushenski: "While serving a sentence in his 9’x6′ prison cell, Coss lost 70+ lbs. in just six months. From
that experience, Coss refined a unique fitness program combining fun cardiovascular, aerobic, and running exercises and now he has brought
this exercise program back
to New York City."
pete_dushenski: "The story behind
the workout is almost as good as
the workout itself: Coss Marte developed a unique and effective exercise program without
the need for any equipment while doing his
time. and now he helps you
to do yours."
pete_dushenski: i'm sure his pieces would make for excellent
theatre, but
they make
the worst study partner.
pete_dushenski: holy shit is chopin
the worst fucking composer
to listen
to when
trying
to read or write. what an obnoxious fucking
twat!
BingoBoingo: One
that's not as orthotic as you'll need after pantagruel spends a decade using you as a
thing
to climb on
pete_dushenski: though i suppose
the golf ball is
the equivalent of
the hdd/sdd - it breaks, you "lose" it, and does actually need
to be replaced eventually.
pete_dushenski: coincidentally, my golf equipment is almost exactly
the same vintage as my computing equipment and i similarly see no benefit
to upgrading either.
pete_dushenski: i started around 13yo, peaked in '09 when i won
the club championship at one of
the
two most competitive private clubs in
town. only play
two, maybe
three
times a year now as i find it a bit abusive
to swing
that hard now and can
think of a several books i'd rather read with 6 hours of continuous
time.
pete_dushenski: though most
take it up in
their 20s and 30s because
they're a) bored and need
the frustration, and b) need
to play for 'business' reasons on account of many alrger firms having annual
tournaments.
pete_dushenski: it's quite popular here with all ages. my
theory is
that it has a similar swing plane
to hockey, which is
the ~most~ popular, and works well as a seasonal alternate.
pete_dushenski: the number of sports where one isn't saddled with other idjits (and
their
trivial hierarchies) are few and far between.
thus i grew up doing swimming, golf, badminton,
tennis, running, yoga, etc.
pete_dushenski: imagesblogs/callaway/xr16/reviewdriverwave.jpg << ok
that's actually notbad…
pete_dushenski: "So
that is a long way of saying
that Callaway has reshaped
the Speed Step on
the crown of
the XR 16 driver, but at least you now know
that a whole lot of
thought and
time has gone into it from
the best brains from
two of
the
top aerodynamic engineering companies around.
The result is
the XR 16 driver
that has a 30% lower head drag and a 10% lower face drag
than
the original XR driver."

too if you don't feel like
taping it on. i guess
the 2.5" size meets
the 90% of buyers using it for laptops and
the 10% of buyers using it for desktops aren't excluded either.
assbot: Logged on 01-02-2016 23:17:36; mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag> why
the fuck provision for rewriting bits
that will ~never~ be rewritten. <<< ironically, cheaper
to save on hdd
than on
the mask rom. yet.
pete_dushenski: not like aerodynamic performance matters in
the slightest when you're joe average swinging his driver at 75 mph, but hey mr.
tourstar who swings at 110+ mph notices a difference, however marginal, and
that's good enough for joe !
assbot: Logged on 01-02-2016 20:06:49; ascii_butugychag: having it with somebody who understands nothing of how his civilization is put
together,
to whom flashlight, pc, boeing, are equally magical - is a snore.
BingoBoingo: Now
that gernika brought it up, apparently Micron also makes nand and SSD's
assbot: Logged on 01-02-2016 23:39:03; *: kakobrekla sent numerous 'go fuck yourself' letters
to sandisk for
their policies with usb drives and will never buy
their shit again
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu begins
to feel
the burn!
mircea_popescu: if i read one more fucking printf statement i'm going
to start murdering people again. bbl.
fluffypony: no you're only pretending, now we know
the
truth
fluffypony: [01:51:34] <psztorc>The secret is
that he isn't arrogant at all -- only pretending.
fluffypony: [01:51:12] <psztorc>JackH: He does
that on purpose,
to manipulate
the
type of people who choose
to read his blog.
fluffypony: [01:29:45] <JackH>in his universe, his words are absolute - its quite funny
to read
fluffypony: [01:29:21] <JackH>he seems quite certain of himself and even writes
that he refuses
to accept it wont work
jurov: in related news,
the "kingdian" shit survived several rewrites already
BingoBoingo: gernika: I don't know about
them and SSD's.
kakobrekla sent numerous 'go fuck yourself' letters
to sandisk for
their policies with usb drives and will never buy
their shit again
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Intel for a while did
their own
thing, but I am unsure if
they still do.
pete_dushenski: so far it looks like
the sandisk 'extreme pro' is
the best bang for
the buck in
the 480-500gb segment.
though all are free
to point me
to something better!
BingoBoingo: Anyways my
take on
the SSD market is
the stuff Samsung is willing
to brand as
theirs is
the safest in a longevity way. Who
the fuck knows which is least likely
to have evil baked in.
assbot: Logged on 26-01-2016 19:24:59; ascii_butugychag: (as far as i'm concerned,
there is ONE manufacturer of raid cards)
danielpbarron: i mean hardware controller; i
think i recall reading asciilifeform saying hardware is only way
to raid
