mp_en_viaje: phf, quite. and, in this statement, it's precisely that sorta loli productivity i object to.
phf: i don't think cffi is much about support of anything, it's almost always "there's a gnarly C library that i don't want to write in lisp, going to make a thin wrapper around, now has support for X
mp_en_viaje: if this is the choice i'd rather bake loli anony than loli veira.
asciilifeform: recall naggum's summary, in reply to similar thrd : went sumthing like 'it is correct that unix does not support commonlisp. but it in fact does not properly support ~anything~.'
mp_en_viaje: but i am also not happy about ending up with who knows what loli baked into "traditional tmsr process"
mp_en_viaje: im not proposing that.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: this isn't even false. the illusion, however, is that 'c links natively, write c proggy' is some kinda improvement.
mp_en_viaje: from the contrary perspective : i get it that you folk wanna write lisp. the principal problem seems to be that this can't currently be actually done
asciilifeform: nao a foot of bottle 'cultural layer'. d00d walks in, and hey wainot take a shit on it.
asciilifeform: nao has 6 inch of cig butts. wai not, then , throw bottles.
asciilifeform: floor thoroughly enpissed. so wai not also throw cig butt on it.
asciilifeform: consider how this comes about. toilet clogged, dunno, some time in 1990 perhaps. so folx pissed on floor.
asciilifeform: first gotta fully describe the atrocity, so as it is not repeated in future. mp_en_viaje recall that shoemaker-era defunkt public toilet in timis 3 blocks from 'kaufland' ? ☟︎
mp_en_viaje: more practically, what the fuck do we do.
mp_en_viaje: you KNOW cffi ain't the holy grail of ffi. what is it then, such that it is found in general's boot and wench's bellybutton ornament and airplane tip
asciilifeform: those, are cuz 0 standardized abi on linux . so instead various horrors where gcc is invoked, a small c proggy is shat out in realtime, built, then jumped into.
mp_en_viaje: why the fuck would all the objects in a purported whole wide world depend on the same bit of circumstantial minutia.
mp_en_viaje: here's our axe. it depends on happymeal. here's enemy tomahawk. it depends on our happy meal. and here's [our version of] antique roman amphora. it... depends on happy meal.
mp_en_viaje: here, cffi, and why al sorta things that needn't are nevertheless brought to depend on it.
asciilifeform: which particular piece of braindamage is this in re: ? ( e.g. sbcl, does have a -- ugly, but working -- ffi knob, hence how it does in fact let you open socket etc )
mp_en_viaje: kids who want a slavegirl but can't afford a slavegirl will sometimes buy a painted pillow and call it susan. but more commonly, and especially if not FUCKING FUCKED IN THE HEAD, they'll just watch older sis shower or something more directly separate.
mp_en_viaje: even in the situation where a) you have to talk to linux and b) you can't talk to linux, WHY would you make something that eminently IS NOT a ffi, then call the thing that isn't a ffi "ffi" and then purport to use it ?
asciilifeform: nobody's got 1 yet tho.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: why which ? why open sockets by talking to linux ? i agree, the Right Thing would be a cltron that drives nic directly etc.

a111: Logged on 2019-05-06 09:23 spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-02#1910755 <-- I dun much like hunchentoot, on account of http://thetarpit.org/posts/y03/05c-development-log-i.html#selection-187.0-192.0 ; but I'm open to using it if the alternatives turn out to be insufficient
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-06#1911347 << last time i surveyed the available items (~decade ago) 'hunchentoot' turned out to be the only 1 that wasn't fatally defective in some obvious way (some of the alternatives wouldn't build at all, others -- wouldn't use iron threads on x86; yet others missing some large piece , e.g. custom eggog pgs , etc ) but it's been a while ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-05-06 06:55 diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-06#1911324 -> yes, it's a brick of a book but in fact not really dense or anything; everytime I haul it out of the shelf and onto the table I inevitably wonder why exactly is it so heavy really.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-08 19:44 asciilifeform: so can haz a hypothetical contrary ? i.e. how would it have looked to have 'standard interface' to a thing which itself has no intention of obeying any standards ?
asciilifeform: ( why not standardized, was touched on here and possibly elsewhere ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: phf described this in detail, in prev. threads.
asciilifeform: for bonus ugly, it aint in the cl standard.
asciilifeform: ( in particularly egregious cases -- is used to call not merely kernelisms, but entire chunks of c-built binariolade, e.g. db systems etc )
mp_en_viaje: hurr durr loli veira. why is "ffi" even a thing in the first place.
mp_en_viaje: evetything depends on happymeal. why do things this way!
a111: Logged on 2019-05-06 12:21 phf: well, wookie depends on cffi through cl-async which depends on cffi and cl-libuv, where libuv is a C async library. teepeedee2 also depends on cffi and is full of code like https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vii/teepeedee2/master/src/io/epoll.lisp
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-06#1911362 << why the fuck would they do this. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: spyked, you got the format backwards, linked "curl" with an anchor of http://thetarpit.org/posts/y05/082-tmsr-schedule-i.html#selection-125.0-132.0
jurov: I disrecommend. Messed with cl-async (via vim interface) and it's hell to debug. It also takes over debug and trace outputs and redirects then nooneknowswhere.
phf: well, wookie depends on cffi through cl-async which depends on cffi and cl-libuv, where libuv is a C async library. teepeedee2 also depends on cffi and is full of code like https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vii/teepeedee2/master/src/io/epoll.lisp ☟︎
spyked: re ffi, in that older research I've tried to avoid fast-running code in favour of fits-in-head, but I'll make sure to double-check in this iteration. the only www-related cffi dependency I recall was in cl+ssl, which I will remove on sight before genesis
phf: spyked: wookie is not a hunchentoot fork, it's its own thing built around an async ffi. one thing you might want to add to your list is how much ffi-ing is required, or rather how "c heavy" the code is. for example teepeedee2 is extremely fast, but doesn't work anywhere but sbcl and linux, because it uses all kinds of libc features.
phf: it doesn't have any kind of "architecture", so more than once i've had to hack somewhere deep inside request parsing code in order to support something or other

spyked bbl himself, back to rowing in the slave galley
a111: Logged on 2019-05-02 15:23 asciilifeform: none of these currently on front burner, but will be 9000x easier to revive if meanwhile lobbes et al produce an edible cl 'wwwism kit'
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-02#1910762 <-- so far wwwism kit seems to include: a. http server, b. http://thetarpit.org/posts/y05/082-tmsr-schedule-i.html#selection-125.0-132.0, c. html gen. (a) is the next item on my list, with (c) and (b) coming next, and... is there a (d)? ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-05-02 18:39 asciilifeform: lobbes_field: i've previously used 'cl-who', but it needs to get eaten/genesised/frozen
a111: Logged on 2019-05-02 14:35 lobbes: though it seems like lots of people here use hunchentoot for that purpose, and it seems that hunchentoot is easily modified to interface with apache through mod_lisp

a111: Logged on 2019-05-02 12:04 mircea_popescu: someone was even going to implement it, which is the last i heard of it.
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-02#1910659 <-- come to think of it, there's no reason to limit pastebin to images. could do text files as well and extend to other formats as needed ☝︎
spyked: meanwhile, /me is back to his regular schedule and will spend the week processing photos, writing and planning
a111: Logged on 2019-05-02 11:51 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-02#1910599 << ima leave for belgrade tomorrow morning ; we can set something up for today but gotta move limberly.
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-02#1910647 <-- sorry, saw this way late in that evening. schedule was way packed with walking, birdsong listening and others that wait to be documented on teh blogs ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-06#1911317 << it's altogether dubious it'll ever make you any money ; but if the goal is to smoke without having to deal with other people then prolly worth it. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: so i suppose the right thing to do, if ever swallowed by some mastoton or w/e, is drop one's pants and fuck the damned thing's gullet.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-05 23:32 asciilifeform: i suspect that errybody with even surface familiarity with subj of hanging, knows this
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-05#1911289 << more to it if you're eaten... nature doesn't belive in multiple designs, an esophagus is just as warm, soft an' juicy as a vagina. ☝︎
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-06#1911324 -> yes, it's a brick of a book but in fact not really dense or anything; everytime I haul it out of the shelf and onto the table I inevitably wonder why exactly is it so heavy really. ☝︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: Still the book grew too much. Whatever useful things are added get burried in shit
asciilifeform: the remainder, quite valuable (e.g. preconditions, which tightened, rather than loosened, semantics )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: unfortunately this case is atypical, or asciilifeform would have written for ada83
BingoBoingo: Testament to the additive destruction of the wreckers.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-05 21:05 diana_coman: speaking of Barnes' Ada book: it IS very useful and I certainly do go back to it quite often still for all sorts but it still has at times such ideas that I can't stand; e.g. "The reader will probably feel that the activation mechanism is somewhat elaborate. However, in practice, the details will rarely need to be considered. They are mentioned in order to show that the mechanism is well defined rather than because of their everyday import
asciilifeform: meanwhile in entirely unrelated lulz, asciilifeform came across a 1984 edition of barnes's ada at flea market , and it's ~pocket-sized . i suspect that if one were to write a 'tmsr ada' dead tree, would look ~similar roughly ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Liven the cat's life up a bit
BingoBoingo: Could try rabbits like cazalla did
danielpbarron: not really my expertise, and the land i bought is not really fit for livestock
BingoBoingo: You could try emu or alpaca
danielpbarron: yes where i got the house we are "in the middle of nowhere" but my appartment is in a college town
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: i thought the mega-virtue of oklahomistan is where it is largely empty
asciilifeform dug up at one pt the 'plaintext' details, but usa is 1 of those batshit anglo 'case law' jurisdictions, and asciilifeform dun have the time/inclination to saw through the various paywalls to try an' interpret the necessary 100MB+ of crapola
BingoBoingo: How are the local orcs in Ok?
danielpbarron: i don't know the details of it
asciilifeform: i've been inside the 'scientology' church in dc, it is luxurious (and utterly batshit) item . so surely cannot be much of obstacle, this.
asciilifeform: do they send surprise inspectors to 'see if yer churchy enuff' ?
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: hm. elaborate for the l0gz ?
danielpbarron: it's my understanding that such a registration also comes with strings attached that we don't want attached
danielpbarron: no, we meet in eachother's houses for church and we don't register any of them as such
asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu described how/why to do this
danielpbarron: well that's my only source of income, so ya i guess
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: how's the hair shirt life treatin' ya ?
asciilifeform: ( iirc was why the idjit victorians ended up phasing out public hanging -- 'too sexy' )
asciilifeform: i suspect that errybody with even surface familiarity with subj of hanging, knows this ☟︎
mp_en_viaje: amusingly enough, there's a sexual paroxism pathway driven by anoxia in mammals (kinda traditionally common male style, actually). so it's quite conceivable ingurgitated prey might ejaculate.
mp_en_viaje: https://8ch.net/vore/res/29903.html#31101 << there is a dedicated lolcow board, but the lolcows are to be found on the... vore board ?
asciilifeform: iirc the chinese had some sorta hack for this also.
asciilifeform: ( incidentally, and may have noted prev., arbalest is a++ trashpanda solver, but slow reload, quite inadequate if you have a herd of 3-4 to dispatch )
asciilifeform: gotta be. i dun have the freud-fu to say exactly how tho.
asciilifeform: and much better ergonomics than this 12th century lol.
asciilifeform: nfi how one might come upon this notion ( want to eat projectile , but not wake up neighbours ? ) but e.g. arbalest entirely adequate to go through left temple and out of right, is ~fiddybux.
mp_en_viaje: meanwhile in the other empire, https://media.8ch.net/file_store/366d06ffeef85666c91dc1f6638408fad3da8317bc4fe99454c7e453074a74e6.jpg
asciilifeform: mcarthur -- banned song. today, again it is sung, in what passes for jp navy. entirely above-board.
asciilifeform: let's illustrate. 'umi yukaba', jp naval anthem, '37 and on. 'if i go to sea / i shall be a washed up corpse. / if i go to the mountains / a corpse i shall be in the grass / but as i die for the emperor / i will have no regret ' roughly.
asciilifeform: ' I am a corpse looking for a place to drop when this is over ' << aaha
mp_en_viaje: as the old adage goes, the problem with suicides is that the ones that manage are the only ones you actually want to have failed.
mp_en_viaje: the dangers of the self-realized male.
mp_en_viaje: http://trilema.com/2013/margaritas-ante-porcos-as-it-were/#selection-429.31-429.108 << afaik the best statement of the situation.
