ben_vulpes: "software never fails" but the flesh apparently is very fucking weak.
ben_vulpes: lol wut and now it simply refuses to boot!
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: i think those shit-spreaders were less of a 'freegan' and more of a 'let's see what it's like to be derpizens of the great nation of afrika'. fwiw.
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: at this rate imma completely give up and just run 10.6

ben_vulpes: either that or i'm living a week in the future somehow
mircea_popescu: lol derp, "this thing that happened shows that this thing i presume is correct because reasons so ergo!"
ben_vulpes: http://www.contravex.com/2016/01/24/drones-sono-finiti/#footnote_1_6779 << i swear to god i read this elsewhere recently
mircea_popescu: "cyber boys" as opposed to what, banking girls ?
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: is this a 'freegan' thing?
pete_dushenski: though buiter is right about the silliness of bitcoin tx being costless. such strawman.

pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-01-2016#1383534 << "and we DEMAND that you hire useless hobos" ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 24-01-2016 01:51:14; adlai: fwiw friend who teaches classics at a usg 'prep school' attests to having had a student excused from any and all performance standards due to APD (which stands for 'auditory processing disorder')
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hackin | hackin'. a different way to say freakin/fuckin. its an adjective. fred on youtube uses it a lot. Fred: Hey, it's Fred! And I'm really hackin' mad right now because Judy ...
ben_vulpes: nah all i need is the display manager, i'm going to use emacs for window mgmt
ben_vulpes: something that looks hella nineties would be top notch
ben_vulpes: for once in my short life i would like to not piss on a fence.
ben_vulpes: heh i am still snickering about that one
ben_vulpes: it's usually the captions or contextuality of mircea_popescu's pr0n that gets me lolling
ben_vulpes: all that aside, when i finally ditch this thing, i will preserve the shit that's already on disk.
ben_vulpes: i do not see what relationship the directory structure has to the things i have said, other than they expose the retarded toolchain i used to get them on the public net in the first place.
mircea_popescu: can't turn the whole web into a signal processor.
mircea_popescu: suppose you think about what you wanna say, say it, and then let it be ?
ben_vulpes: move the files wherever i want
BingoBoingo: Kinda why eventual #b-a library where people put text from outside the wot for preservation from molestation would have some similarity to deeding.
ben_vulpes: i thought la serenissima's webfacists hated linkrot
ben_vulpes: so what, i ditch current shitty static site generator and tell everyone who linked to shit previously to get fucked and find the new linxz?
mircea_popescu: and if you write "shoez rulez" today and then change it to "shoez sux srsly" next week, people's idea of your idea of shoes also breaks.
mircea_popescu: and references break if guy goes back and adds pages in the middle of his book wtf.
mircea_popescu: that;s a good thing.
ben_vulpes: hrm that reorder's the piece's footnotes
BingoBoingo finally stitching together popular hegelian piece since slow news weekend
assbot: Money, Trust, and the Wild Wild Web (A socioeconomic history of SSL, or that green lock symbol in your browser) ... ( http://bit.ly/1NsN7n0 )
mircea_popescu: then why does it say blqabla.com on the bottom?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes the gf-nordstorm graph is pretty cool, you made it ?
mod6: anyway, yah, its not like it called malloc or whatever, its on the stack. i am retard.
mod6: This is from: Design & Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System by McKusick
mod6: Such segments usually must be phyiscally contiguous in main memory and must begin at fixed addresses. We shall be concenred with only those systems that do not visibly segment their virtual address space."
mod6: maybe i was just remembering this: "Most machine architectures provide a contiguous virutal address space for processes. Some machine architectures, however, choose to partition visibly a process's virtual address space into regious termed segments [intel, 1984].
asciilifeform: so this means in function, on the stack.
mod6 pulls out the book
gribble: sbrk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sbrk>; sbrk(2): change data segment size - Linux man page: <http://linux.die.net/man/2/sbrk>; brk - The Open Group: <http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/brk.html>
mod6: memory allocation is done by the os at runtime. when you ask for some bytes, there are kern mechinisms that handle this request, are there not?
mod6: ya, i think i was just confusing some kern shit that i'd read.
asciilifeform: so then you know what it means to allocate on the stack.
mod6: thanks for the links tho
assbot: Function prologue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1PuYThX )
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_prologue << yup, know about this from asm stuff i've done.

assbot: Logged on 24-01-2016 03:28:26; mircea_popescu: and so if it can\t find 200k contiguos this actually fucking crashes ?
mod6: <+asciilifeform> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-01-2016#1383837 << if it were inside a function, the ~stack~ must contain that many contiguous free bts << i guess this makes sense. i dunno why i was thinking that it might not be. ☝︎
asciilifeform: (the os in flash thing)
assbot: Logged on 24-01-2016 03:45:09; mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: the principal obstacle is the lack of a computer. << oh you're saying a target arch here? or?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-01-2016#1383869 << we don't have a computer that you can buy that makes this concept have a point ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 24-01-2016 03:31:44; mircea_popescu: "never go to sea with two clocks. take one or three. so we're taking two but one has a special button to press to ask it if it's really sure. if it is it squaks audibly."
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-01-2016#1383848 << 1st time i saw this, i misread, 'two cocks' ☝︎
polarbeard: that's the one
mod6: the only place i can find that is in util.cpp:ShrinkDebugFile()
asciilifeform: if ~global~, the process data segment will be stretched to fit, and if os does not like this, process will get oomkilled on load
assbot: Logged on 24-01-2016 03:28:26; mircea_popescu: and so if it can\t find 200k contiguos this actually fucking crashes ?

assbot: Logged on 24-01-2016 03:26:58; mircea_popescu: incidentally, if something like char pch[200000]; is inside an if, what does the compiler usually do ? allocate it at program start or not ?
polarbeard: the quality of the error messages: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/bitcoinrpc.cpp#1299
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: the principal obstacle is the lack of a computer. << oh you're saying a target arch here? or? ☟︎
mod6: which btw for testers is kinda nice -- you can make a really large volume and attach to which ever instance at will and keep your OS small, or swap it out easily without ever having to clobber your build/sandbox area
polarbeard: allright, then shittyRotate() is there to give hope
polarbeard: you use datadir but give the default dir?
polarbeard: lol, I'm following the rabbit hole and it seems pszSetDataDir is not set if -datadir not given
assbot: Logged on 24-01-2016 02:05:25; ben_vulpes: i thought there'd be about another 5 years before things got this nutso
mircea_popescu: "at least most of the time".
mircea_popescu: "never go to sea with two clocks. take one or three. so we're taking two but one has a special button to press to ask it if it's really sure. if it is it squaks audibly." ☟︎
mircea_popescu: seriously, MEDIAN ? seriously, this is three ? fuck me.
mircea_popescu: the more one reads, the less one likes.
mircea_popescu: "// "Never go to sea with two chronometers; take one or three." Our three time sources are: System clock ; Median of other nodes's clocks ; The user (asking the user to fix the system clock if the first two disagree)"
mod6: no it shouldnt crash unless there is no more ram left available in the entire computer.
mircea_popescu: i thought it did.
mircea_popescu: ah it doesn't want to get the whole byte ?
mod6: it should ask the os for 200k of mem, this should be allocated in pages (usually 4k ea. iirc) it may not be contiguos
mircea_popescu: and so if it can\t find 200k contiguos this actually fucking crashes ? ☟︎☟︎
polarbeard: inside a func? has to be called
mircea_popescu: incidentally, if something like char pch[200000]; is inside an if, what does the compiler usually do ? allocate it at program start or not ? ☟︎
mod6: not if someone builds something that works, and does not break anything.
polarbeard: it supposedly overwrites the log and (how considerate) leaves you a few lines from the old one
polarbeard: returning to the retarded-rotator, will somebody miss it?
mircea_popescu: the former implies the latter.
mircea_popescu: fwiw i have a lot more faith in code someone read than in code someone wrote.
mircea_popescu: so as they say, don't sign anything you might regret.
polarbeard: sure, no problem with that
mircea_popescu: polarbeard you'll still have to sign it. there's no way out of this.
polarbeard: I'm building better logging in two steps, first I lay out better and prefixed messages, people can review that
assbot: The sad state of Bitcoin code on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1PuXsjC )
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2016/the-sad-state-of-bitcoin-code/#selection-5307.1-5307.37 << taking out area #5307 ftw.
mircea_popescu: so read it eight times.
mircea_popescu: to put it in you'll have to sign it. if it turns out later to have a hole, people will negrate you. ☟︎
mod6: <+asciilifeform> we don't have a computer. << well, this goes back to the same thing. currently we're married to some linux varient to do (future) building of flashable universe
