mod6: which is why i added that part.
asciilifeform: mod6: ok. the rationale for my suggested thing was that no-flag ought to revert to 100% classical behaviour
ben_vulpes: ideally such a thread would result in a philosophical statement that'd guide future flags.
mod6: and asciilifeform, keep in mind that this is a *must* fix. i think that is vastly important that we discuss this in channel.
ben_vulpes: oh come now asciilifeform like we don't waste time on vastly more trivial shit all the time
ben_vulpes: i have a hard time giving a shit about the ergonomics when it's covered in finger-snipping blades already.
asciilifeform observes that this thread has already taken up more space than the patch. ☟︎
mod6: polarbeard: keep in mind that i considered all of this over a week ago -- and decided against it. so yeah, i have put a lot of thought into this.
polarbeard: 0 is the default, you may give -forceS=0 though, but that has no effect
polarbeard: you can use signeds, and then -1 0 1
mod6: because it causes confusion to have -forceS=0 (low) and -forceS=1
mod6: right, i'd prefer not to use an int.
mod6: remember, i want a default state to *not* require a flag at all.
mod6: how would one set this singular boolean?
polarbeard: therefore the need for the conditional
mod6: am i not using two booleans, polarbeard?
polarbeard: or using two booleans, ascii's way
mod6: If we simply get rid of 'fHighS' and 'fLowS' and replace with say 'fForceS', then how can we differentiate between entering into the high or low if block?
mod6: I believe we need two flags.
mod6: so what we want, is three different ways: no force one way or another, force high, or force low. remember, i originally didn't want to do a force high at all. but since asciilifeform requested this, i'm entertaining this option. ☟︎
polarbeard: that's right, I only mean to simplify usage (if that matters to anybody)
polarbeard: that's still too flags, I searched before asking :)
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 13:36:27; asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-01-2016#1379490 << rather than have the statement checking for luser who set both flags high and barfing, why not have two flags, e.g., 'forceS' and 'lowhighS'.
asciilifeform: polarbeard: i originally suggested this
polarbeard: wink wink, ternary computers
polarbeard: can't it be like a three state flag? 0 -> no enforce, 1 -> enforce low, 2 -> enforce high
polarbeard: mod6: honest question, why using two flags if they can't be used at the same time?
mod6: And then we can re-align post release. ☟︎
mod6: I'm prefectly happy to reconstruct the patch with spaces to stay in alignment with the current (albiet unwated) spacing scheme.
mod6: So the difference in 'http://dpaste.com/2EZJVXA.txt' is that the block of code in Sign() is spaced with tabs. And to Mr. P.'s point it should probably be all in a file or nothing. Otherwise its mis-matched. Some with spaces, some with tabs.
ben_vulpes: mod6: appears to be a useful tool
mod6: Trying to decide if I should post 'http://dpaste.com/2EZJVXA.txt' to the ML.
mod6: mircea_popescu, asciilifeform, ben_vulpes et. al., any further thoughts if we should clean up the code alignment (currently with spaces) post release and do a one-time clean up with tabs? ☟︎
trinque: yep, but this was just connecting to whomever he wanted
asciilifeform: as for prb, it doesn't like talking to trb (esp. with the malleus patch)
trinque: whereas on AWS, blackholed to death
trinque: odd that it's trivial to figure out where I moved the deedbot- node, yet... works now.
ben_vulpes looking forward to it
asciilifeform: in other news, the 'shiva' thing is nearing 6,000 ln.
ben_vulpes: unless the kid's up at 4 or whatever, i rarely actually interact with him.
ben_vulpes: our timezones are so far off he just leaves me messages
ben_vulpes: very interesting problems that crop up in the curation of the wot.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> yeah cuz crazy argentines, they're like excited sheep in the airport. << haha, it was a big crowd. You picked me out pretty quick.
assbot: Logged on 24-01-2016 14:40:14; mircea_popescu: "About a week ago, this pretty girl messages me out of the blue and we hit it off. We talked that night up until 5 AM and we have so much things in common. > She loves Star Wars > Plays video games > All other super nerdy shit > Never met a girl like that" << holy shit, this "all that much" evaluates to almost 0. wtf is wrong with people.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: much related to earlier thread !
jurov: kek, airship alternative to trans-siberian train.. now that'd be some achievement for hipsters
ben_vulpes: ENTIRELY unrelated: http://thismighthurt.tumblr.com/post/137653621429/siren-school-by-isabella-rotman-buy-the-comic << girl sends this along
mod6: Being honest and forthcoming about matters will always go much father with me than anything else. ftr.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: and no smaller than mexico
mod6: 't like that.
mod6: To me, this all felt like subversion. I didn
polarbeard: or that somebody told me
polarbeard: ben_vulpes: I asked somebody if assbot can be forced to forget the nick, it can't
mod6: For posterity: Do not do this. If you get a neg rating and you care about your wot ident, do be an adult and do as I said. Lot less problems and drama this way.
polarbeard: maybe one day, I don't kiss in the first date
polarbeard: and definitely not ready to tell more about my true and only self
ben_vulpes: polarbeard: coulda kept the nick, but registered a new key and we'd be in the same spot.
mircea_popescu: now a dog you can't trust! ☟︎
mod6: And I understand that part too Mr. P. Typically, this is what seperates us from 'dog'.
mircea_popescu: mod6 well basically, cause the concept of "a man" is pretty much the key.
polarbeard: I *loved* that nick
polarbeard: yes, I understand, it wasn't my intention to change nick, I nuked my keys
mod6: <+ben_vulpes> mod6, polarbeard, asciilifeform, mircea_popescu: y'all follow? << this is my 0.00000002: If you don't trust a man, no matter what his keyid is today, how can i ignore that and trust a new ident? The correct thing to do as a man, admit your mistake, and or ask for forgiveness and move on. Simple as that. We're all adults here.
ben_vulpes: polarbeard: hey can you confirm for the log that you understand what's going on with your various idents?
mircea_popescu: yeah cuz crazy argentines, they're like excited sheep in the airport.
mod6: heh, there was such a crowd at the exit of the security area, me and Mr. P. walked right by eachother I think.
ben_vulpes: i'd seen the photos from c2, 'twas how i knew you and mike_c
ben_vulpes: same way everyone else singles you out of the crowd lol
asciilifeform: first time i was to see mircea_popescu, i actually had no idea how he will pick me out of the crowd at the airport. but he did.
ben_vulpes: what if the person showing up is not actually the keyholder
ben_vulpes: heh that is an interesting hole in the keysigning party i guess
jurov: you think that deaf idiot at the conference was really me?
ben_vulpes: (while it may appear to /you/ that the mega participants in this cult are disembodied names, /we/ all know each other -- names, geographic locations, general type of employ, but /you/ do not have this [or i'll point out] any pedigree here)
asciilifeform: i would also like to know ~who is~ polarbeard
asciilifeform tries to picture harsher job than his own, it's gotta involve petro drilling platforms with no connectivity or sumthin'
asciilifeform: anybody know him in the meat? is the fella on a polar voyage or what
mircea_popescu: i think it's really best practice to rate in chan.
gribble: mike_c was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 11 weeks, 2 days, 23 hours, 5 minutes, and 13 seconds ago: <mike_c> let's get that thing out the door and get alf some goddamn bitcoin already
jurov: ;;later tell mike_c just an idea - if the rating is public, you can link the logs
mircea_popescu: i'm still a slut. while that lasts.
ben_vulpes: provisions are in place for noobs to fuck up and recover.
asciilifeform: i certainly see the rationale here
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yeah, i think you nailed the matter, can be laid to rest.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: how to operate your wot is between you and odin
asciilifeform: 'alleged martian corpse found. but appears to be that of a dog with pig ears glued on'
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: potentially. can mention all of these points.
danielpbarron: yeh, so is this still a qntra article or..?
ben_vulpes: it's not submitting patches any more, so i don't see the point of the discussion.
asciilifeform: and i won't even comment on the nonsensical contents.
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: and why would message text be in english ☟︎
ben_vulpes: what harm'd there be in the reading i ask
ben_vulpes: someone can show up tomorrow and claim to be tiberius, tat, smickles, and until they sign with keys that prove it they're either joking or some other thing i don't understand
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: that key id appears to be quite illegible
polarbeard: all I can say is that log rotation is daily business on most decent systems, but if anybody has a rational answer against it I would not remove shitty-ghost-rotation from trb
polarbeard: which I think comes by default in all linux distros, idk about unixes though
polarbeard: ben_vulpes: sorry, I missed that one, I was talking about a tool like logrotate
mircea_popescu: <jurov> merely tasking them to understand existing code is sufficient. "and no, you're not allowed to redo it nor pull libraries" << jurov has it.
asciilifeform: (i think in usa it is called 'declaration against interest' but ianal)
assbot: Logged on 24-01-2016 09:44:19; ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-01-2016#1383814 << if by external you mean: does not introduce further dependencies into the codebase, maybe, depending on the tool
ben_vulpes: but register formal irritation re your inability or refusal to answer to inquiries such as http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-01-2016#1384093 ☝︎
