mircea_popescu: there are
two kinds of fools in
this world,
the sort
that
thinks women are equal
to men ; and
the sort
that
thinks women are unequal
to men in all
things.
mircea_popescu: it's not fucking obvious. my slavegirls by a fat margin prefer slavery (which is not servitude just like whales are not fish), and work a lot better
than any fucking employees anyone ever had.
mircea_popescu: "The undesirability of servitude, from
the point of view of
the laborer at least, is obvious. Serfs and slaves faced brutal work conditions, floggings, starvation, very short life spans, and
the inability
to escape no matter how bad conditions got. "
mircea_popescu: this may be
the most confused, anti-thought essay i've ever read.
mircea_popescu: "To improve
the productivity of
the
time rate contract required
two breakthroughs:
the first, creating
the conditions under which sacrifice is a better estimate of value
than piece rate or other measurement alternative"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i got some flats in romania,
too. not so strictly related
assbot: Logged on 15-12-2015 02:05:46; BingoBoingo: NExt conference is in 16 months? hopefully should have life put back
together sufficiently by
then.
BingoBoingo: Might
take a while
to get
to docks, so not next boat. Some boat
though.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in fairness, if one uses a few casts and whatnot,
the linker prolly has it.
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck would he
think
that
the
topic of origin and
the
topic of
the origin of accuracy are related ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it is
to me an almost guarantee by now
that pedanticism in
that context guarantees ineptitude of an epic scale
assbot: Logged on 15-12-2015 00:05:18; jurov: and
the contrived examples...to roll 2 fair dice: static std::discrete_distribution<> /* follows 12 rows with histogram ennumerated as floats*/
mircea_popescu: the russkis didn't have standard barrel size on
theior fucking
tanks by 1940
BingoBoingo: It's good
to see someone faund
the
timekeeping lulz
mircea_popescu: second off : grain diameter ? what
the holy shit ? he imagines
they ground marble down
to molecular size ?
mircea_popescu: first off!
the construction of
that last phrase is wrong.
mircea_popescu: "The origin of
the sandglass is quite obscure, but its accuracy relies on a precise ratio between
the neck width and
the grain diameter."
mircea_popescu: Such a recipe presumably creates grains of a size in a precise ratio
to a standard hour-glass neck size,
thus producing an accurate
time.”
mircea_popescu: "Take
the grease which comes from
the sawdust of marble when
those great
tombs of black marble be sawn,
then boil it well in wine like a piece of meat and skim it, and
then set it out
to dry in
the sun; and boil, skim and dry nine
times; and
thus it will be good."
mircea_popescu: French housewives were using recipes
to make, along with food, glue, ink, and so on, marble grains for an hour-glass:
assbot: Logged on 14-12-2015 23:44:24; mircea_popescu: gentoo's a fallen
thing.
mircea_popescu: i suppose next
time you send
the clerk over
to do derpclass.
BingoBoingo: Case only
took 2.5 years of state's
time
though.
BingoBoingo: Rest of
the class was all in
there for DUI
BingoBoingo: Because
their default reflex is assume drugs/alcohol are involved in evil.
BingoBoingo: Not an ideal or maximally lulzworthy resolution, but at $150
to retain lawyer, $200 for hearing prep, and $120 for class hosted by private party St Clair County recieved 0 dollars.
BingoBoingo: Case ended with
the compromise where I
take a drug risk education course and
they quit. Avoided
the possibility of stupid/hostile judge at hearing/trial.
BingoBoingo: NExt conference is in 16 months? hopefully should have life put back
together sufficiently by
then.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Well, dismissed with leave, but
that part should hopefully be resolved on Friday at court date.
mod6: <+jurov> which version is
the -TEST2? asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option? << yeah.
mircea_popescu: "The economic
tyranny of
the late Roman Empire had left a devastated polity, a culture in Western Europe
that had lost its knowledge of civilized commercial practice and accustomed
to seeing government not as a source of any productive assistance
to commerce, but only a destroyer of commerce from which commerce must hide. "
jurov: and
the contrived examples...to roll 2 fair dice: static std::discrete_distribution<> /* follows 12 rows with histogram ennumerated as floats*/
☟︎ jurov: with
their elaborate entropy management
mircea_popescu: At
the bottom line,
throw/catch are about as useful as longjmp/setjmp (BTW,
the former
typically runs faster, but it's mere existence makes
the rest of
the code run slower, which is almost never acknowledged by C++ aficionados).
mircea_popescu: round is
to copy
the vector. And
this is an extremely simple example - no virtual inheritance, no user-defined conversion operators, etc.
mircea_popescu: trings"), and I have a std::vector<char*> object ("a mutable vector of mutable built-in strings"),
then I can't pass it
to your function because
the
types aren't convertible. You have
to admit
that it doesn't make any sense, because your function guarantees
that it won't change anything, and I guarantee
that I don't even mind having anything changed, and still
the C++
type system gets in
the way and
the only sane worka
mircea_popescu: But wait,
there's more! C++ supports a wide variety of explicit and implicit
type conversions, so now we have a nice set of rules describing
the cartesian product of all
those
types, specifically, how conversion should be handled for each pair of
types. For example, if your function accepts const std::vector<const char*>& (which is supposed
to mean "a reference
to an immutable vector of pointers
to immutable built-in s
jurov: which version is
the -TEST2? asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option?
mircea_popescu: i'd link
to
trilema but apparently it's a lean monday or something.
assbot: Logged on 14-12-2015 22:50:10; jurov: if i have
to go back
to manage bloated wallet.dat, or write
transactions by hand (since wallet.dat is scheduled for excision from
therealbitcoin), i'll prolly increase withdraw fee
to 0.2 again :D

trinque: looks like
the existing node scoring mechanism is a
turd
assbot: Logged on 14-12-2015 19:03:27; ben_vulpes: more carbons and hydrogens in
the propane, ergo more flammable right?
jurov: whatever. i know my own hand is not steady enough for
this surgery.
ascii_field: which afaik was
the whole motherfuking point of
trb
jurov: it will prolly end up easier
to remove it completely
that
trying it
to make standing on its own
jurov: yes we went
thought
this. with completely different memories, apparently.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: * ascii_field
tries
to recall what electrum is for << "lite" wallet
that polls server. Might be useful "on
the run" if have own server somewhere.
jurov: electrum should be easy
to fix,
that's not an issue. i'm just glad i won't have
to decide
this.
jurov: that's easy for you
to say, you don't
touch actual bitcoins
ascii_field: would seem
to be an argument in favour of
throwing out electrum
jurov: don't know. electrum produces P2SH
transactions,
that's how i found out.
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 14-12-2015 22:33:23; jurov: actually if you pay something with any recent wallet, reference client will reject
the
tx as malformed :)
jurov: yep, part of it will either need
to be backported or deprecated
BingoBoingo: This is something prolly ought
to look into moar
BingoBoingo: I started bastard wallet with 0.7-ish branch, so it can see some limited multisig, but... should be normal
tx sent out
jurov: actually if you pay something with any recent wallet, reference client will reject
the
tx as malformed :)
☟︎ jurov: no, BIP-16 is widely applied
to 1xxxxx addresses,
too
jurov: (reference clients accepts only
them, i did not look into
this)
jurov: are pre-BIP-16
txs malleated
too?
BingoBoingo played with adding low-s signing
to his bastard client seems
to work. Prior
to 0.9 Bitcoin used whatever S-came arrived at first.
Then in run up
to 0.9 even-S was
tested.
Then low-S settled upon. Malleating nodes making duplicate
transactions appear in my history got
to be a hassel.
jurov: pity. almost proposed adding dbus
to reference client.
BingoBoingo: At least
this means KDBUS is now dead before merged
ascii_field: if at first
the shit won't stick,
throw,
throw again !
BingoBoingo: "BUS1 isn't being developed by just some unknown individuals, but systemd developer David Herrmann and Kay Sievers seem
to be
the lead (and only) developers working on it
thus far."
BingoBoingo: Still, bits unflipping on EEPROM seems... like a problem... Unless
they can be reflipped...
ascii_field: but it would stand
to reason
that, if designing for ultra-long life, you might want
to use multiple roms and a voting circuit...
