ascii_butugychag: as for why they'd close the trains, i cannot say except that the latter are in a historic state of disrepair.
shinohai: also known as the creepy people that stalk you in city subway terminals hawking magazines.
mircea_popescu: "The number of video views rose to almost 40,000 within a day" << sigh. this is notable in what fucking alt-world ? i remember the earlier days of "omaigerd teh interwebs matter" when the numbers destined to impress the reader were in the millions. by now it's as if "consensus" has been achieved around the proposition that such a statement is impressive period, and the number's irrelevant. 40k people viewed every singl
mircea_popescu: "If there is someone at this point who can look at Jace's insane rambling during this event and take it as a credible threat to Brianna Wu's life, they are either willfully misconstruing the facts or being intentionally alarmist to the point of complete credibility loss. " mno. they are being obtuse to the point of well adjusted, functioning ustard. how the fuck else does anything work in that country ? look at a dumb
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-01-2016#1380926 << did cosmo kramer (ex ceo, kramerica industries) end up hired as vp for fluentization and finally got to push through his pet project of homeless-driven rickshaws in new york or something ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: especially after hanging out here i trust c++ about as much as php with these sorts of things
ben_vulpes: "As always when a large group of people without prior exposure to Jace are introduced to his world, every single existing theory on his authenticity was brought up and discussed in great detail, as were questions concerning the state of mental health care in the United States, the situation of veterans, and the practicality of using a Prius in a street race." << ladies and gentlemen, i present...my peers in the eyes of american law.
mod6: again [ which is defined as : int BN_sub(BIGNUM *r, const BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *b); BN_sub() subtracts b from a and places the result in r ("r=a-b"). ]
mod6: [ which is defined as : int BN_sub(BIGNUM *r, const BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *b); BN_sub() subtracts b from a and places the result in r ("r=a-b"). ]
mircea_popescu: is the formatting as is idiocy or is it not idiocy.
asciilifeform: specifically that i saw leaving the formatting alone as a forced thing.
mircea_popescu: mod6 2nd one is deliberately made to not have tabs so as not to offend alf's diff.
jurov: but __LINE__ should be used in any case, and # causes it to be treated as string
mod6: so then if I go line by line adding tabs instead of the spaces, i get a bit of a different vdiff output as such:
asciilifeform even bought first fpga as a schoolboy without understanding that it will have to be mounted somewhere. still have it.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: you can turn up as many as you like and mount'em yourself.
mod6: mircea_popescu: qq, would you be alright with this error message, as opposed to yours which has a line number in it: printf("ERROR, ECDSA_sign failed in key.h:Sign()");
mircea_popescu: " Bitcoin is described by enthusiasts as potentially being bigger than the Internet itself (a claim I can’t seem to understand, considering that Bitcoin is an Internet-powered technology),"
asciilifeform: as demonstrated by the nano-ecc folks
mircea_popescu: now of course, what exactly is the mempool as far as each node is concerned varies, and the miner's nodes especially. so it's an iffy thing. anyway.
mod6: So yep, pretty much same results as yesterday, althought it is noteable that not passing any flag at all ; no txns were dropped on the floor. They wern't malleated yesterdayr either, so it could have just been lots of spam yesterday or something similar.
mod6: Everything looks ok to me. When not specifying a highs or lows flag, txn went through just fine no malleation. When '-lows' flag was passed, txn went through just fine, no malleation. WHen the '-highs' flag was passed, txns were malleated, as expected.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i can definitely say that the trb history is adding to ~my~ confusion, but i don't see that as something to be avoided. my hope is that i'll eventually make enough sense of this to relay it concisely to others. still much work to do, no doubt.
mircea_popescu: or otherwise we could say the reasons are thoroughly comprehensible as they are reprehensible and just hang the lot.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> wtf is rbf ? << Yet another weirdo script for double spending unconfirmed transactions with a higher fee. Only pheature is being more polite than just doing it as has always been possible
mircea_popescu: there is exactly 0 demang for all the crap these dudes keep trying to paint as "innovation".
pete_dushenski: anyways, small updates made as per asciilifeform's several suggestions
mircea_popescu: well... i would say 50^ of these two months are roughly due to the last year or so. so basically we'll be seeing +1 month / year indefinitely, as blocks can't get any fuller.
mircea_popescu: be that as it may, in further other news, http://41.media.tumblr.com/c501e62db03341caddc5ee0fec0c59e9/tumblr_o08sgzzApW1u9fdrvo1_1280.jpg
asciilifeform: it is to answer 'wtf did this come from' questions, as a class.
mircea_popescu: aaaand to make the matter quite plain, i've had it just about up to here witgh idiot jews who think they're exceptional. they aren't, the accomodation is 0, they;d better be fucking humble as if they're begging to avoid gang ass rape.
danielpbarron: back when i wrote my own html generator I had it spit everything out as one line
danielpbarron: I also prefer the '{' on a newline vs on same line as function name. But I haven't done nearly as much coding as those of you who hate these conventions so what do I know
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 12:53:33; mircea_popescu: what init.cpp are you working on as an a mod6 ?
assbot: thouliha comments on Without official statement from miners and others, one should treat all reports of Classic losing support as subterfuge. ... ( http://bit.ly/1ZPAi2z )
mircea_popescu: or as a bullet between the eyes. either way.
shinohai: "I admire Dr. Pieter Wuille’s brilliant hack to deploy it as a soft fork. But despite being brilliant, the soft fork Segregated Witness is still a hack. A hack is dirty. Such a technology would be better implemented as hard fork.”
mircea_popescu: the idea that toilet belongs by the pool is about as alien to the roman as the idea that toilet belongs by kitchen sink is to you.
mircea_popescu: 5) Function Macros And Recursion <<< "What ended up being the bug in my preprocessor for this test case was in evaluating the argument prescanned tokens that were passed to a function macro invocation. If the function macro being invoked contained a token with the same identifier as the function macro being invoked, but didn't actually call that function macro, it would incorrectly disable this token. This bug combine
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 09:34:54; BingoBoingo: But basically this Hearnia is painting Janssens and some Obeast named "Marshall Long" as the reasons for the adverserial nature of ClassicCoin. Framing of course because it's what good instruments do so he can try to relevant himself again in six months
mircea_popescu: as opposed to the usual manner (human-directed)
mircea_popescu has found himself, iwthout interruption, in this position for as long as he can remember, which'd be a good three decades by now.
mircea_popescu: ./crypter.cpp- // Note as well that at no point in this program is any attempt made to prevent stealing of keys by reading the memory of the running process. << this is oddly the right choice.
mircea_popescu: no. as in magic numbers. anyway, you'll see.
asciilifeform: as in stray constants ?
Terry4: Did you see the strategy about subsiding bitcoin miners to stay on the original BTC, (as a last case scenario to defeat any alt-chain)?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ioan p. reminds me, there really oughta be some good material floating about re: the 20th c. chinese 'warlords' (as they are for some reason called in english world)
asciilifeform: at any rate, it is perfectly safe for a king to entertain himself by being a blacksmith, or a sailor - as peter the great did
asciilifeform: as are dogs
asciilifeform: (as dwarves 'must mine' in 'd&d' universes)
asciilifeform: but as far as i'm aware, there is no biological 'programmer race'
asciilifeform: and tends to break in ways not covered by warranty, as a whole, if fails to perform it
asciilifeform: now i've never actually met a chess-boxer. but it would not astonish me if i learned that they keep the company of other boxers and regard actual Großmeisters, who devoted their lives to chess, as effete lusers.
asciilifeform: this applies to EVERY SINGLE CASE of 'freed' programming type i've ever met or so much as heard of.
asciilifeform: and one of the problems with 'free men' is that growing up as one tends to result in 'an aristotle' - aristocrat, who may be a very sharp fella but is not especially handy with 'slave crafts' and would normally not stoop to, e.g., programming a computer
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: and can't automate this, because will be sacked, as pictured in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=388 ?
asciilifeform: and also don't wait for me to write a fits-in-head and provably non-misbehaving btc client, even though i would much like to, know exactly how, and even have bits'n'pieces sitting around. because instead of this i'm stuck doing pointless crud in шарашка, so as to eat.
asciilifeform: because the notion of using this thing, or anything directly derived from it, as a long-term anything, is lunacy.
asciilifeform: i did say, in the very beginning, 'i want this in a book, as a reference' etc
mircea_popescu: then there's the case (as is here) of folk who can't get out of the fencing error so fix the code on the 2nd pass.
asciilifeform: but there are, e.g., 101+ ways to hose an arbitrarily selected node for as long as you like
asciilifeform: thing is as bad as it could possibly be without falling down at the first gust of wind.
asciilifeform: and as i described (and i think ben_vulpes did even earlier) the thing isn't ~actually~ multithreaded, in the sense of being able to evaluate multiple requests in parallel
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you ever been in college and ended up picking up chicks you were only half interested in because it sure as fuck beat doing the work you had to do that day ?
mircea_popescu: do not take after me. for even as we speak, the girls are up and chirping in the kitchen making me stuff.
mircea_popescu: it's as poetic as it gets.
thestringpuller: Ah this takes the cake: "I had to reload Reddit like 4 times before it started working. If reddit wants me as a customer, they should increase their blocksize"
mod6: we can discuss this again as we get further along.
mircea_popescu is loath to do too much of that sort, because as correctly pointed out, mircea_popescu is a noob in the low level technical sense. without an array of experts to advise and correct, i'll just fuck everything up.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> well, honestly, this wasn't intended as a release candidate, more like a commentary item << ok good deal. was kinda wondering if the forthcoming release patch should bundle this one in or not.
mod6: i would agree there, but on the basis that the comments are accurate in a technical sense. nothing worse than misleading comments or documentation, as we've recently discussed.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> i often wonder, do these folks also have two-metre-wide toilet in the house, so as to not miss ? << i lel'd
mircea_popescu: as that changes, changes in code slowly become ever slightly more possible
mircea_popescu: now, battles as to change are softened : people discuss reformulations OF THE COMMENTARY.
mircea_popescu: well, honestly, this wasn't intended as a release candidate, more like a commentary item
asciilifeform: a garage big enough for a boeing, so as to not hit the walls ?
asciilifeform: i often wonder, do these folks also have two-metre-wide toilet in the house, so as to not miss ?
copypaste: "so as not to overflow"
mircea_popescu: ah as luck would have it key.h matches. weird.
mircea_popescu: what init.cpp are you working on as an a mod6 ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: as we'll forget which fucking high this is.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-01-2016#1378739 << yeah. and as i wait, so does the play wait. the itches i get aren't in any sense in my body, for i wash. they're in the body politic, all. ☝︎
assbot: Fiat Markets Continue Slide As fiat/BTC Interface Prices Recover | Qntra ... ( http://bit.ly/1T7O8rN )

mod6: third high-s tx was malleated also, went through, was confirmed as were previous two

pete_dushenski: ^ireland in 1970s as case study
ascii_butugychag: incidentally, i sure as fuck wouldn't use li ion
mircea_popescu: anyway, "very small" as in 1-10 Ah, 12-18 V sort of thing. medium
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Why list a capacity that is just going to rapidly decay as soon as it leaves the lot?
ascii_butugychag: the rest, as with other idiot golden toilets, is for 'intellectual proooooperty'
mircea_popescu: now, driving this assemblage as if it were a car is the height of ridiculousness.
BingoBoingo: Depends on if deer actually are more blind to pink chosen as Blaze2
BingoBoingo: "In Wisconsin, there has been some opposition to the measure, though it has passed the Assembly and was scheduled for a Senate vote Wednesday. Opponents included some women hunters who viewed the measure as sexist, and others who see it as pandering to women." << Sexist even though more visible to other armed persons and less visible to deer
BingoBoingo in my most paranoid moments is tempted to believe to Toomim drug meltdown was orchestrated as an easy way out of the "ClassicCoin" failure
ascii_butugychag: from what i know of mountain folk (the very endearing chechens esp.) they certainly see the payback they get from the plainsfolk they chronically rape as 'unfair'
ascii_butugychag: (as illustrated especially well in haiti)
mircea_popescu: as i said - ask your representative why!
