TSC halts in idle
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
BingoBoingo: The Joys of Sobriety: Going back
to read yourself from 2014 and being pleasantly surprised with something you completely dissolved
the memory of having written in industrial solvent.
ben_vulpes: but i
think i need
to recompile
the kernel
pete_dushenski: hi ben, it's
the future calling, gentoo all ready
to go, sir !
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: pete_dushenski: is
this a 'freegan'
thing?
pete_dushenski: though buiter is right about
the silliness of bitcoin
tx being costless. such strawman.

the workload given

their abilities...should not be given a workload
that
they cannot handle."
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')
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: suppose you
think about what you wanna say, say it, and
then let it be ?
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.
ben_vulpes: hrm
that reorder's
the piece's footnotes
BingoBoingo finally stitching
together popular hegelian piece since slow news weekend

that green lock symbol in your browser) ... (

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].
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.
mod6: thanks for
the links
tho
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 03:45:09; mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6:
the principal obstacle is
the lack of a computer. << oh you're saying a
target arch here? or?
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."
mod6: the only place i can find
that is in util.cpp:ShrinkDebugFile()

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 ?

☟︎ 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

taking
two but one has a special button
to press

☟︎ mircea_popescu: seriously, MEDIAN ? seriously,
this is
three ? fuck me.
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.
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 ?
☟︎☟︎ 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: fwiw i have a lot more faith in code someone read
than in code someone wrote.
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
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
