ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: that's what's going on!
mircea_popescu: "fuck you, go play angry birds. this is for real people."
asciilifeform: the folks discussed earlier don't sit and look for tickets. they get golden parachuted and immediately hop to next gig
mircea_popescu: jam tomorrow, nail today, while we pretend jam today nail tomorrow.
ben_vulpes spots a fat tailed distribution
mircea_popescu: like they come for mfa/spammers.
mircea_popescu: so they came right ?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile you're looking for a meal ticket because the checks came.
asciilifeform: the corpses fail, the corpses (ah) move to the next one.
ben_vulpes: to get "nice interactions" on mobile devices, your options are to write objective c, java, or js.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dude get the fuck off, you know what % of us corps fail ? you know average lifespan ?
ben_vulpes: so a twist
asciilifeform: plz wake me up when selling tickets to this
mircea_popescu: i'd flail them alive, stuff the skin and flail it again.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is trivially explained by 'fat cheques keep coming, while the rusty nail bat is always tomorrow and tomorrow'
mircea_popescu: seriously, let the dumbass tech kids get away with this stupid shit ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: it's beyong me how the business people can be this abandonware level stupid.
ben_vulpes: maybe that data comes over the wire on app boot up
ben_vulpes: maybe there's an endpoint you can curl to get your domain list
ben_vulpes: saas boss, they show you what they want to show you
mircea_popescu: im going to break into their fucking servers just to read my lousy domain list ?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu's trying to reason about the browser shitstack
ben_vulpes: if it's weird data in the actual database, i fire up a goddamn sql terminal.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i haven't seen many things that i could reproduce in the production environment that i couldn't reproduce in my local environments, but even for weirdness showing up in production that needs debugging there, i run the application in the browser to get it to the bad state, attach to the code running on the server (however that works for $turdlang), and inspect what the browser is doing and how the server responds.
mircea_popescu: at least that was a harmless idiot.
mircea_popescu: i am starting to miss Mr Nucular.
asciilifeform: (or tcpdump+perl)
asciilifeform: it is always, in the end, wireshark
mircea_popescu: suppose the "data isn';t right". you know you load it somehow.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: aaaah, other html pages showing the same data
asciilifeform: (does that still work..?)
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes how do you debug this ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: prolly something like the pure-http version of 'gmail'
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: do you know what he means by "spigot the actual tech people use"?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform I DID NOT ASK FOR THIS
asciilifeform wonders if mircea_popescu realizes that the design space of http slides inevitably into this kind of insanity
mircea_popescu: a dumbass dude with no prospects. aka tool.
mircea_popescu: yeah, tool is right.
ben_vulpes: oh i'm sure it's crucial to the functioning of some AWESOME tool
mircea_popescu: as if there's really any point to it.
mircea_popescu: check that stupid shit out, they gotta have a ?v=garbage approach to css because reddit does it and so they gotta be professional.
mircea_popescu: that's built in a "standards" model or whatever. "it's called TruDataAccess" or whathaveyou
mircea_popescu: in all my interactions with idiocy to date (and this is very banal and ancient idiocy, nothing novel here) there's always a spigot the actual tech people use.
ben_vulpes: go find the api client js file and read through that. if you're lucky enough they factored the js so cleanly that you can find the api endpoints.
mircea_popescu: uh. isn't there a standard way you people do this ? like, hm, how should i explain myself.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes either you're proposing it guesses the data, or else it gets the data from the server.
ben_vulpes: read the source, or run the thing and monitor its api calls.
ben_vulpes: "the deps" are the rest of the js and html that the thing needs to run
mircea_popescu: look, how do i cut through the chase, so that i don't actually use the js.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: likely thing is that the box returns 'json' turds (javascript lists populated with crud)
ben_vulpes: other script tags
mircea_popescu: right, but in general, how do i just hook into the datastream of this bs.
ben_vulpes: server sez: "here's the js to run, here are the deps, here's the css, go to town"
ben_vulpes: very little html is sent over the wire
mircea_popescu: OF CUFING FORSE there's urls.
mircea_popescu: so what bs is this, "no urls"
mircea_popescu: and the server itself is still running http
mircea_popescu: but javascript is still run in the browser, right ?
ben_vulpes: ugh why do i know this
ben_vulpes: okay well a js application contains the state of user interaction with the "app". when it *needs* to talk to the server, it makes api calls for data and then renders that or does calculations or whatever might need to be done.
mircea_popescu: what, they have a special non-http server ?
ben_vulpes: "dynamically generated pages" but generated in response to a specific HTTP request.
mircea_popescu: " a javascript application that stands on the dom." makes no sense to me.
ben_vulpes is trying to understand how this is cgi
mircea_popescu: the dumbass cgi-in-javascript thing still gets data somewhere.
mircea_popescu: so what, i'm to buy an ipad to get access to my domains because namecheap went full retard ?
asciilifeform: there is not, likely, a useful thing to be gained
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is like asking how to reconnect the buttons at an old derelict petrol station
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: you don't. there are no urls, there's a javascript application that stands on the dom. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes do you know how one unwinds this retarded bullshit into actual urls ?
mircea_popescu: yeah, im sure they are. meanwhile i'm buying a baseball bat and separately a rusty nail.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: the press algo must then press all same-tree-level leaves for the given leaf, correct? ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: and... they are
mircea_popescu: fucking bullshit. i can almost fucking hear it, buncha tards thinking they're "corporate officers" sitting around a cheap glue-and-woodchips table finished in plastic going "hey bill... i think we're getting a great deal on this website outsourcing stuff."
mircea_popescu: and i don't mean, incidentally. i mean, to death.
mircea_popescu: i just want all these stupid faggots to be raped, basically.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: stare into the void
asciilifeform: as in, the leaf whereby it is pressed.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: all correct implementations will press the same tree ~given the same leaf~ !!
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: that's a js app not a web page
ben_vulpes: so asciilifeform i notice that none of the "flow" implementations to date have matching output, and the "press" all depend to one degree or another on the inputs to the relevant "tsort" implementations, they're not guaranteed to "press" the same trees. non determinism at this endpoint gives me the willies, is that stupid?
mircea_popescu: namecheap "upgraded" it's website. and it's been a nightmare ever since. now i can't even get a list of my fucking domains the normal way. but lo and behold... they have an "export as csv".
asciilifeform brushes up on homomorphic idiocy for his inevitable tour in шарашка
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-09-2015#1258158 << today i learned! ☝︎
asciilifeform: ^ prolly best-known 'homomorphic' thing
ben_vulpes: "socialist millionaires protocol", too lol
asciilifeform: and the cardboard man
asciilifeform: incl. the dog..
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the derp[s working for name.com

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1323324 << who are they ? ☝︎
asciilifeform did not go and take 'the test'
mircea_popescu: sure, sure. how much do you want to bet that won't be on the test.
asciilifeform: thing is (again see logz) there are gibblets of usable mechanism scattered throughout the field
mircea_popescu: these ain't the basics of no physics i ever heard of.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform except no such thing actually exists, so what "basics" and "primitives" ? suppose i hire solid state engineers, and want them to know the basics such as cold fusion ?
mircea_popescu: i can't decide which side of retarded this falls on.
assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 01:02:07; mircea_popescu: what the fuck is "fully homomorphic encryption" supposed to be.
ben_vulpes doesn't know how this nugget failed to make it into the turd
ben_vulpes: "pick another corner, dumbshits, this one is mine."
