phf: i'm not sure how more easy can
this be
trinque: furthermore
that it's even
the job of
the
thing
to clumsily rotate its own log
trinque: that it's a debug log and someone
thought well gee if it gets
too big better shrink it
trinque: ShrinkDebugFile() << lol,
the autism in
this
thing
☟︎ mod6: i don't wanna over complicate
this
to begin with.
mod6: just something unique
to when executed.
mod6: i guess i could hash
the epoch
time and append it
to
the dir name, store it as a global for "session" key.
mircea_popescu: gen memory key, keep it in a file keyed
thus, delete on finish.
mod6: my
thought was
to create if it doesn't exist, otherwise die. and delete at
the end of execution. however
there is a scenario where if for instance a seal exists from a key
that is not in
the wot and
the application exits before main returns.
mircea_popescu: it does offer a firm guarantee
that "always
the one you made"
mircea_popescu: q : wouldn't
the right way
to do
this be, "gen session key" ?
mod6: at first glance, looks like one needs
to "use File::Tempdir", so will veer away from
that.
mod6: ah, similar
to your py implementation? i'll
take a look.
assbot: Logged on 02-05-2014 02:36:33; asciilifeform: decimation: for some reason,
this reminds me of a
tale my consulting partner (physicist, grew up in india, 1970s)
told me. students would qualify on instruments
that barely worked, but belonged,
to, e.g.
the great Bose.
mircea_popescu: i don't recall who had
this display of "100 ohm resistors"
that measured from 30
to a whopping 1.5k
BingoBoingo: "Of course
the political assassination
theory neglects motive for killing
the real estate agent instead of killing
the sheriff." << better?
mircea_popescu: "Apple's fabrication partners appear
to be
taking
the opposite approach, which is
to select parts whose
tolerance errors cancel each other out." <<
this is wartime engineering.
BingoBoingo: "Of course
the political assassination
theory neglects motive for killing
the real estate agent instead killing
the sheriff." better?
mircea_popescu: "|Ulanoff completely fails
to examine
this "oh yeah, we suck in some areas claim". Why?
The guy's a "car reporter". No more, no less. If he says negative
things about
the companies
that pay his salary, he gets fired and
the publication for whom he works never gets another scoop/lead/exclusive." << BUT WHY ?
BingoBoingo: Definitely for
the comments, because I was not
thinking of
this part
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Aha, hinted but yes a point for
the comments!
trinque: the nazis had quite
the multiprocessing going for a
time
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: you're
the u.s. legal/policing expert 'round
these parts :)
assbot: Logged on 04-11-2015 13:43:59; mod6: <+mircea_popescu>
that's not so good. <+asciilifeform> which is not a
thing
that you want. << Ah, ok.
Thanks for looking at it. Instead of using ~/.gnupg, would it be alright
to create a ~/.gpgtmp upon startup and rm ~/.gpgtmp when complete?
trinque: jurov: pls switch disgests on
the mailing list
to off for me; I cannot
assbot: Logged on 05-11-2015 00:10:19; asciilifeform: i cannot help but be surprised when i encounter, in
the old words of ben_vulpes, 'clown cars glued
to a spinning ceiling'
trinque: I'll have a
taste of some low-hanging fruit
this weekend
trinque: bitcoind
trashing
the debug.log each
time has got
to go
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
The hang with words one. Finally doing
the Severance/sheriff piece
mircea_popescu: ure gifted with good
taste, and become his loyal servant."
mircea_popescu: "You want a non-tyrannical Apple? Rather
than striving
to weaken Apple so
that it can be devoured by its brawny-yet-mindless competitors, do something constructive. Experiment with GUIs which don’t
trace
their descent
to Xerox PARC. Forever renounce
the idiotic practice of copying Microsoft,
that cheap imitation of a cheap imitation. If you are creative, create. Otherwise, strive
to find a strong-willed Jobs fig
mircea_popescu: course... people are
talented at resisting it, but hey :D
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes,
that may be, but i do not waste most of my money downshifting people. in general i waste it upshifting people.
mircea_popescu: not
that it's not open
to folk wanting
the work and +wot centrality, but hey.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i would honestly
think it's a waste of your
time
to do
this ?
mircea_popescu: it's almost like
the dating market : some people are decent at picking up c hicks, and
the losers watch
them do it and... still suck.
mircea_popescu: it's very strange how stupid perpetuates itself in
that market, in spite of better exampled extant, and well publicised.
mircea_popescu: which is what i/bezos would have done as #1
thing
to do.
mircea_popescu: and
the reason is, apparently,
that steam doesn't have
the wisdom
to have expert packagers out
there looking for work.
mircea_popescu: and i'm marginally consdiering
them (iirc was in
the logs), but also kind-of meh.
mircea_popescu: missed by a mile,
they weren't even shooting
towards it.
