mp_en_viaje: the problem with
the room service is
that it's only decent if you never had anything else ; much like prison food. and pretty expensive at
that.
billymg wishes he could've been around for
the ny mp_en_viaje speaks of
billymg: it was only after bitcoin
that it started feeling more like a prison with decent room service
than anything else
billymg: it was already full disneyified when i arrived circa 2010, but my eyes weren't yet open and i still saw it as
this infinite place compressed into a few hundred square miles
mp_en_viaje: it's been going
to shit ever since. definitely ever since
the 70s, which is as far as my directly-mediated experience reaches ; but i suspect downward movement started much earlier. with lincoln's victory against america, perhaps.
mp_en_viaje: it was great, perhaps
the greates
tcity in
the world, at some point.
billymg: so, relatedly, may be mia for a few weeks coming up before logging back on from
trinque/ben_vulpes country
billymg: i need a vacation
too, but next up for me is escape from ny, which i'm perhaps looking forward
to even more
mp_en_viaje is working on a mega
travel article, in other news.
billymg: been meaning
to make some
tweaks
to my mp-wp guide and will include
that update
billymg: yep yep, esthlos' guide explicitly mentions including mysql, apache2 in
the use flags for php (my post mentioned neither as it somewhat relied on esthlos' as
the base)
mp_en_viaje: i suppose gd should go on
the requirements list.
billymg: mp_en_viaje: 5.6.36 on my local and 5.6.38 on
the server. but it wasn't because of
the php version, it had
to do with
the "gd" library being included or not. i.e. when i emerged php on
the server gd wasn't in
the use flags, so it wasn't included
mp_en_viaje: did
they regress meanwhile or what happened ?
mp_en_viaje: i mean, functionality in question exists on
trilema server since 2008 as such.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-20 19:59 billymg: anyway, i updated php on my server
to include gd and it indeed works fine. so for now
the latest patch for mp-wp is
the one i personally recommend/support
BingoBoingo: Not making Qntra
today is Erlang's Joe Armstrong dying.

☟︎ billymg: my local install of php had gd support and so it worked
there
billymg: i
tracked it down
to my server's version of php not being built with
the gd library for image processing, so when an image was uploaded it wasn't able
to produce
the alternate sizes, and so
the options
to select
those sizes were disabled
a111: Logged on 2019-03-31 19:37 billymg:
this _may_ be a result of
the patch, in which case a regression. will dig in
a111: Logged on 2019-03-31 19:26 mircea_popescu: billymg, : "Size
Thumbnail Medium Large Full size (560 × 420)" only permits me
the 560x420 upload. ideally should have also a
thumbnail or
two, you know ? sometimes
that works better. i suspect
this comes from settings
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> in other news,
the qntra shit's been pretty lulzy. srsly, my used condoms issued an "arrest warrant" ? awww! <<
tyvm
mp_en_viaje: i
think i might have
to have
trilema fixed, not nearly as good.

to write own correct arithmetron in his asm of choice, in coupla weeks , if feels like it. )

this is actually
the important side-effect of correctly made exemplars --
that
they're exemplary. "if you're familiar with
the exemplar, neither will you be surprised in a new land by something
that oughta be
there but you didn't
think of it, nor by something
that oughtn't be
there and you
thought it oughta."
☝︎ mp_en_viaje: notably enough,
there's precisely
three generations notwithstanding
the six editions : 3668576, 3733059 and 3764595.
diana_coman tends
to write pen on paper when figuring
things out which is a pain re publishing afterwards
diana_coman: asciilifeform:
the
text helps esp. in conveying your intention/focus as it were; it's
true
that one could understand FFA just with
the code but
that doesn't mean
that
the posts don't help.
diana_coman: fwiw I start with
the algebra and only
then, if I need
to, I will refer
to - better yet, make my own - diagrams; in
this case my note was simply a reminder "diagrams
there do not match internals + shift_left/right convention here so do own/flip/ignore"
diana_coman: but exactly because
they force in
there "direction" when
that is inconsequential
diana_coman: asciilifeform:
there was nowhere not even for 1 sec any idea of "oh noez, redo drawings", just in case it's not clear;
the start is still
the algebra anyway and
that's
the correct way of
thinking about it
to my mind, not any convention left or right (and in
this sense, if anything, I'd rather change
the shift_left/shift_right for all
their being ancient and all
that).
mod6: Well, fwiw, I'm
trying
to not load in any Cisms or other pantsuit liquidshit into my understanding of FFA. So when reading it, I'm
trying
to approach it somewhat like a babe. And I
thought
that I had it at least, mentally fitting in my head
the way it is
today.
mod6: Because normally,
that same number, on paper, would be: 00000000000000000000000000000100
mod6: I
totally see her point.
mod6: I
try
to keep it in my mind
that
this is an ~array~ of words. And in my head, arrays grow left
to right. Or bottom up.
☟︎ mod6: So, I guess I
thought I had all of it making sense in my mind. But
tell me if I'm wrong!
Then I'll have
to re-read
that first chapter again with my misunderstandings corrected.
mod6: So if what I had previously believed above is
true, and it would seem
to considering my understanding of FZ_Add for instance,
then "most junior bits on
the left" makes sense
to me, but "FZ_Get_Head" seems perhaps a bit confusing. Although, when I
typically "getHead()" or "getTail()" I expect
to get
the 0-ith index, or
the nth, respectively.
mod6: where '0100' is in
the 0-ith array position, or if one were
to look at it
this way,
the bottom of
the stack, or
the left.
mod6: Ok, so maybe you can help me out here. I always looked at an FZ as an array of Words, or a Stack if one prefers
to look at it
this way. Where, if I'm going
to make an FZ number '4', it would be set in
the array like (i'll use 4 bits per word
to save space):
mod6: And before I comment a whole bunch further, her notes make me rethink what I had
thought I had known about. So I'll
try
to grab some
time soon and load
these
things back into my head.
mod6: alright, I've read
the article, so I see what you're referring
to now.
mod6: Ah, ok
then cool. I'll report back once I read it. cheers!
mod6: lol, sorry, I was just
trying
to update quick and go. lemme dig into what you're really asking me here.
mod6: You want me
to screen shot it so you can see what I'm seeing?
mod6: I'll be sure
to point out anything in chapters
that makes me feel like I'm doing disproportionate mental-gymnastics for sure.
mod6: Thanks, so yeah, her post is in my queue
to read. But I have seen
the above diagram before ^, and it looked "ok"
to me, but I haven't read
that far ahead yet.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-18 14:05 asciilifeform: diana_coman: aaa you were speaking of
the diagrams in 10, 12, 14 . yes
they're 'mirrored'.
mod6: Seems ok
to me on my horiz display, and seems
to also be ok on vert on a mobile browser
a111: Logged on 2019-04-12 19:57 asciilifeform: 'you
thought you could put little arrows from one place
to another in'em without hand-diddling coordinates for each one ?'
bvt: thank you,
this is a great honor
to me
lobbesbot: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
diana_coman: I meant: I
think
the ideal is role rather
than direction; sigh.
