to be because for political reasons had
to pretend it was at some point because etcetera. ~same reason basketball players wear wifebeater-cut
tops and soccer players wear
t-shirt
tops. could very well be backwards, but isn't because etcetera.

that reading human
text in
typewriter chars is painful. gotta point out
tho ,
that 'truetype' monstrosity is not justified
thereby, it is possible
to have horizontally-variable bitmap font (simply store
the # of horiz. pixels as matrix , for 'kerning' space , and otherwise same )
mp_en_viaje: anyway, server girly was very interested from
the margins of
the going ons on
the harem
table.
diana_coman: being weirdos
they are foreigners
therefore hotel
therefore -> lounge. :D
mp_en_viaje: i'm not saying
they all have
to participate or any insane shit like
that. but if
they can have 500 hypovereisbank offices,
they could have ONE coffee house. for
those incomprehensible weirdos who go
there, what of it.
mp_en_viaje: it's just fucking weird,
to not do it AT ALL. i mean cosmopolitan literally means, "which includes alt-stream competence"
mp_en_viaje: but yes
that was
the explanatory
theory we came up with, since
they socialize over beer it
then
therefore follows
they don't socialize over coffee and
that's an end
to it. could for
the same money complain
there's no
teahouse with proper samovar in zanzibar.
mp_en_viaje: i'm not bemoaning my fate or anything, jus' sayin; for
the records.
diana_coman: tbf cafes for me -> Austria rather
than Germany (which esp Bavaria -> biergarten -and
that comes with annoying sitting, yes- what cafe)
mp_en_viaje: which yes, being furnished from
the hotel-magazine, as opposed
to
the apparent coffeehouse-verboenbuche, contains sane human seating.
mp_en_viaje: ended up going
to hang out in my hotel lounge, in part precipitated by cabdriver declaring nec plus ultram in coffeehouse luxury
the... lounge of another, cheaper hotel.
mp_en_viaje: but in a coffeehouse it's apparently reglement verboten
to have a chair with a back higher
than your hips, or padded.
mp_en_viaje: i have nfi how
this works, i NEVER saw a car here with wooden bench inside and fuck you.
they understand what chairs are, every bank, every god damned nothing-in-particular shop has proper chairs in
there.
they have furniture shops selling actual chairs.
diana_coman: uhm, wtf did
they do with what
they had ...more
than 10 years ago
though
mp_en_viaje: fucktards here,
their coffee houses, in
the rare instances
they have seating, have fucking wood benches and stools and shit.
mp_en_viaje: got motorized, drove >100 mi
to find one, going by list of historic big deal whatever in special printed, inch
thick bookler.
mp_en_viaje: i marched
the girls for ~4 hours
through historic downtown,
tryina find one. found none.
mp_en_viaje: oh, right, i
tell you what!
THERE IS NO SUCH
THING!
diana_coman: I suspect
they ...don't have money
to meet
there ?
mp_en_viaje: but anyway, what
the fuck is wrong with picking
the prestige coffee house of
the
town for your bitcoin meet ?
diana_coman now admits she has purposefully kept away from Munchen for quite a few years now in order
to not spoil earlier pleasant recollections of it...
mp_en_viaje: the food was ok, but
the service kinda meh. i dunno,
they have a problem here it seems with not hirin genough waiters.
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, went
then
to boozy brunch at lowenbrau keller (big deal landmark here).
mp_en_viaje: if i set out
to find "mom's garage, seattle" i'd be in ~same position.
mp_en_viaje: and people working at #10
theresinhohe had NEVER HEARD of
the public house supposedly located at #15.
mp_en_viaje: somewhere on an off road from
THIS place,
they had
thei meeting spot.
mp_en_viaje: ie,
the circular connector
to frankfurt is frankfurtring, and so
this being also a ring but not really connecting
to a
town...
they gave it god's name as it were.
mp_en_viaje: in real civilised places,
that community acre is more like a few sqmiles, and
they are surrounded by road. in munchen, road is called bavariaring.
mp_en_viaje: in
this particular case,
they picked a place on fucking bavariaring. how shall i explain what
this is... basically every real
town has a spot of land kept fallow on purpose
to do
things like i dunno, let a passin circus pitch
tents
there, right ? or whatever other large but dirty activity like
that, yes.
diana_coman: that being said, I actually had a nice
time at various biergartens fwiw - obv, with people "brought from home" as it were so I don't know it had much
to do with
the *garten itself
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, very fucking
to be expected indeed.
the problem is still, almost a decade later,
that bitcoin "enthusiasm" is pretty much code for "we'll shock you with how inept we are".

tx propagation voodoo:
the good part about
this is
that it got me into reading
trb code and logs re bitcoin and
trb. will be back
to feedbotworks, but I'll say,
this has been instructive
diana_coman: ahahha mp_en_viaje
that was rather
to be expected given
the ersten und originalen und-only-talkin' www
diana_coman: asciilifeform: from what I understood
though, spyked said he could not see his
transaction relayed even
BingoBoingo: Well, if
the USG has a fleet I don't know why
they wouldn't prefer
to propagate double spends
BingoBoingo: I suspect a large portion of
the junk nodes might simply not be relaying
transactions.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-03 14:58 asciilifeform: so far
the closest
thing i have
to a hypothesis, is
that
the fattest chinese want you
to issue a set of conflicting
tx so
the
thinner ones end up with longer invalidated chains

☟︎ spyked: !Qlater
tell
trinque could pl0x look at deedbot deposits when you get
the
time? fyi, I started
two !!deposit and only did
the latter; can cancel
the former, I'll redo it later if needed

the 1 gotcha, is
that if you (or peers) are wedged (genuinely wedged, on db grind; or peers wedged; or stuck on island in sea of prb; or... buncha documented , in log, cases )
then will get exactly 'where
the fuck is my
tx' errytime
mp_en_viaje: looks like it, but if not, i have a lowen
thing spotted also.
diana_coman: the
tv channels discovery sounds precisely like my early 90's discovery where naive-me
thought at first
that channel with only X meant
they never repeated
the stuff.
mp_en_viaje goes
to drown
trilema.com a little ; #trilema is well drowned for
the
time being.
mp_en_viaje: o look, i got
the whole logday all
too myself. wheee!!!

☟︎ mp_en_viaje: meanwhile, in synthetic language, character is
the meaning unit, and it is fucking important
the function named lil allings with
the word www. OR FUCKING ELSE, gott knows we have enough byte errors even without importing a whole new pile of idiocy capable of multiplying
them 3x by variable-length
that confuses
the eye.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-21 18:32 mircea_popescu: because no, words don't "have meanings". your meanings for ANY WORD are a function of ALL
THE OTHER WORDS YOU KNOW. which is why my definitions regularily blow out english dictionaries, wikipedia and other sources of "wisdom" out of
the water - i know more words, and in
this knowledge i know all
the words i know ~better~. infinitely and irreproducibly so.
mp_en_viaje: specifically : in natural language,
the word is
the meaning unit, and it is remembered and parsed as such by
the reader portion of
the brain.
thus
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-21#1587276 ; but
thus also "airy" characters are
TERRIBLE :
they suggest wordbreak (which is space) and fuck up
the cache
to
the degree
this can cost say 3x slowdown.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 17:09 mircea_popescu: natural language, however, ablates
the
trees for "convenience" so
to speak, ie, uses commonly what's known in computing as sparse
trees.
mp_en_viaje: anyway,
to get back
to
the
typographical discussion more substantially :
there's an important difference between
natural and synthetic language at work.

☟︎ mp_en_viaje: the united kingdom looks more and more like a parody channel on chinese
television, "the island of buran" or something.
mp_en_viaje: but at least i found out
theresa may has meanwhile solved
the problem -- she'll just ask for a new delay in front of some cheap looking, chinese-made union jacks and behind
the derpiest drawing of
the queen's crest i ever did see.
mp_en_viaje: then one got out of
the dozen-cloud of rtl-*, prosieben / etc and discovered past #50 or so it's mostly derpy sports / other specialist channels all 20-30 airing
the same "genius" late night cable marketing (exact same, why
the fuck do you need multiple channels for same bs ? cuz it's spam,
true and proper), and
then
tons of arabic channels which either put out cheap cartoons (qatar) or else broken
transmission or w/e, and
then past #100 it
