mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-02#1906572 << this is true, and good point, most of the time tha tq pops up you're stuck on a reorg or somesuch. trad bitcoin is ~horrible~ re propagation, will not propagate for all sorta bs reasons. ☝︎

mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-02#1906570 << no argument that it's expensive (incidentally /me is fully aware, did professional stint in typo, asylum was printed on trad webpress process after a setting by yours truly for example). but by the same hand i'm aware it must be done and is worth doing. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje was getting well sick and tired of san pelegrino, also. bs 2nd tier mineral water took over the world on the quiet.
mp_en_viaje is enjoying all the little things he knew he missed. such as you know, the god damned water.

mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-02#1906568 << ah nothing like that, yest sat down for excellent thai. today breakfast at trad biergarten etc. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> iirc , last i looked, <0.1% of what answers on 8333 even remotely resembles actual node << This is an environmental problem.
asciilifeform: sorta why asciilifeform wrote (not yet got chance to debug tho -- and not 'proggy is buggy', but to actually handle all possible brokenness of the probed liquishits...) node mapper
asciilifeform: on acct of the sheer volume of dross 'nodes' on the net, this remains problem even if you personally have sizable herd of nodes

I've sent 2 txen using sendtoaddress ~3hrs ago and none of them are on e.g. blockchain.info so far
a111: Logged on 2018-11-04 23:22 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the fact all your terminals suck isn't an argument in this convo.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-01 16:47 asciilifeform: ( trivial if fixed-width font, but i suspect that not errybody is willing to jettison variable font just yet )

lobbes: augmented intelligence of tmsr at work
lobbes just had a moment of "I know I hit this wall before, but forgot the cause"; thankfully logs helped me out once again

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-02#1906538 << believe or not, asciilifeform recently turned up a crate containing several ( i have nfi, thought i gave'em all to danielpbarron ) but loox like he has you covered ☝︎
asciilifeform: spyked: i have a (sadly unfinished) http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-18#1863409 proggy , for exactly these cases, on back burner. ☝︎
spyked: (to be clear, my issue is not of inclusion of said txen in the blockchain, but merely seeing them on nodes other than my own, even if unconfirmed; right now I might as well assume I'm doing something wrong and my node didn't send them at all)
spyked: noob question re bitcoin: is there an expected time for tx propagation to peers' mempools? details: I'm running a fully synced trb node, connected to trusted republican nodes using -addnode.

BingoBoingo: Anyways, axe time came for locally important cultural artifact and so far nobody's burning anything down.
BingoBoingo: I'm wondering about the aesthetic impact this is going to have since no more free trash bags with grocery purchase.
BingoBoingo: I acquired two sample bags of the new type today. They appear substantially stronger, with a more uniform quality than the old type which were potato droppers with inconsistently cut handles.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: we had this here for years. ( and on top of it -- they give you the kind of bag where 1 potato will fall through in <5min )
BingoBoingo: None of the locals wanted this, and their democracy gave it to the hard.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The local supermarkets, delis, etc. Bags are now 4 pesos each.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-29 14:07 asciilifeform: spyked: ty for the ping , item got literally buried under pile of papers. dug it up nao , and i'ma post it tomorrow morning.
BingoBoingo: And the pay for your plastic bags rule is now live!
diana_coman: iirc jurov had an attempt at a text-only client
diana_coman: asciilifeform: well, "my client" in the sense that I'm the only one cleaning it up basically
asciilifeform: diana_coman: unless i'm mistaken , presently there is only diana_coman's client , iirc
asciilifeform: in particular, 'truetype' has been on the Must Die list for many yrs
asciilifeform: indeed. i can think of a coupla potential proggies that call for it, tho ( 'tmsr browser' ; hypothetical replacement for emacs ; etc )
diana_coman: anyway, client is supposed to be up to players really so they can have it with any horrid font they want
diana_coman: that sounds like a farawy problem still, plenty of headaches before getting there as far as I can see.
asciilifeform: ( trivial if fixed-width font, but i suspect that not errybody is willing to jettison variable font just yet ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: at some pt we're prolly doomed to bake a proper font renderer
a111: Logged on 2019-04-01 14:58 diana_coman: in other lulz, eulora's client complaint that it can't find "reteprelieum" font was caused by the fact that the font-file was called reteprellum while all code (xml! scripts! scriptable!!!) said reteprelieum; now in fairness the font is horrid so it's better it was wrong.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-01#1906478 << i had to read 3x before saw anyffin other than 'reptilarium' , lol ! ☝︎
asciilifeform: there must've been some wagner/cyanide in the bolix fuhrerbunker when folded, presently can't think of why else none of the tech had any later life
asciilifeform: ( there are afaik 2 bolix patents -- 1 , ancient, on the orig. 'l' arch, of 1980-82; other -- on some peculiarity of the video console )
asciilifeform: and answr is not , evidently, 'patent purgatory', they folded prior to getting to patent ~any of it
asciilifeform: arguably the real puzzler, is , where the fuck did all of this go when co folded ? did they shoot all the designers ? ( clearly not ~all~, e.g. weinreb even lived to '12 or so , had blog )
a111: Logged on 2018-12-20 00:45 mircea_popescu: this is no proof. but it does inform what is, for all of us, a reasonable suspicion. you think you have reason to suspect bolix is more notable than atari.
asciilifeform: so, not quite 'atari', and in coupla moar ways than asciilifeform previously suspected.. ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: in other wtf's, apparently thing had knob for manually controlling the cache prefetcher. sumthing asciilifeform previously thought had 1st appeared in opteron, in '07...
asciilifeform: they didn't have programmable pll yet, so they birthed the multiphase the old-fashioned, analogue way. hence temp-controlled .
a111: Logged on 2019-01-28 01:21 asciilifeform: for extra mindfuck : the primary xtal in the bolix ( valpey-fisher vf155 ) is a <1ppm txco.
asciilifeform: apparently this is why http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-28#1890392 and why the item next to it is an iron (mil spec..) multi-tap delayline ☝︎
asciilifeform: the bolix people actually did Right Thing -- ran multiphase clock and in fact 'put in 4? get 2x faster ram'
mircea_popescu: IF that worked right, THEN (and only then) "all boards come with 4 banks" or "cheaper boards - 2 banks" would have made sense
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i always thought it's the HEIGHT of insanity that if i buy 4 banks of 16gb ram i don't get 4x faster ram access.
asciilifeform: arch, turns out , was inherently suitable for high-rad
asciilifeform: this explains an otherwise strange find of asciilifeform's : that there apparently was a small run of (possibly saphire) 'ivories' for orbit market
asciilifeform: afaik this is item that today's x86crud ~still~ dunhave in any reasonably working form
asciilifeform: or, e.g., accessed memory via a separate iron sequencer, which queued reads/writes and spread between up to 4 separate memories ( ride 1 while the others busy , making the best of slow '80s drams )
asciilifeform impressed by some of the details , apparently thing not only had internal & external ecc for all memory, but iron ecc logger
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's 100% enuff for a test harness ( thing even has a handy arse port from which it shits microcode instr. in realtime as it runs )
diana_coman: guess so re derping hq; re fonts, I took that mess of a font out, yes; anyway, this was just on the side while stripping down the "login" window of useless password etc.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, how could it not be, a buncha idle virgin bois derping about "convincing pretense" as to adulthood and whatnot. if it weren't boring as fuck the problem of hiring schoolteachers would be merely difficult, rather than plain impossible.
diana_coman: in other lulz, eulora's client complaint that it can't find "reteprelieum" font was caused by the fact that the font-file was called reteprellum while all code (xml! scripts! scriptable!!!) said reteprelieum; now in fairness the font is horrid so it's better it was wrong. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, also, you're not expected to understand the arcane wisdom of "lizards hq".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, o wow, that sums to almost a workable test harness!
asciilifeform: at some pt, possibly earlier, will re-type the thing for publication, but i dun have a nicoleci , so may take a while .
asciilifeform: will have a torture board baked at some pt, with socket . but prolly not till later summer at earliest.
asciilifeform: in other noose, asciilifeform nao has what appears to be full pinout, timing, bus sequence, register, init magic, interrupts, etc. spec for bolix 'ivory' (won't, presently, say from where, unless source wants to be cited, plox to write in. ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: hrm loox to be moar complicated, saw it via some derp, iirc, who was running for us congress, and cited icke.
mircea_popescu: i thouht that dood was english
mircea_popescu: did he run on "upgraded with the times" ~free silver platform ?
asciilifeform: actually i think it was from a now-forgotten crackpot us candidate
mircea_popescu: well, either you stole it from ye olde "futurist" dorks, or else they from you.
mircea_popescu: who knew the proverbial heninger spawn actually ran off with alf's coinage, made themselves the secret pubescent fortress!!
bvt: started pizarro isp (http://pizarroisp.net/), and wrote FFA crypto library, in case you wondered what 'FFA style' from my investigation report was: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=3141 - vpatch + a write-up for helping fitting-in-head the code
bvt: to give you a short introduction, people from this place have developed FG TRNG (http://nosuchlabs.com/hardware.html), V versioning system (http://btcbase.org/patches?patchset=v), Eulora MMORPG (http://ossasepia.com/), maintain a btc reference node
bvt: OriansJ, you can register a GPG key with deedbot (http://deedbot.org/help.html), i'll rate you and you'll be able to up yourself.
bvt: OriansJ is the stage0 author, please up him upon request
mod6: Evenin' all, the Bitcoin Foundation report will be delayed by a few more days than normal (typically I have it out by the 1st); it'll be done before April 5th though. Just a heads up.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/patches/ffa_ch18_subroutines.kv << loox a++ . also ty phf.
asciilifeform: phf: the included items appear to be quite useful, also ty .
asciilifeform: phf: got it, thx. the linked piece already in log btw, phf excavated it last yr .
phf: ffs, sorry about that, i fucked up a paste..
lobbesbot: phf: Sent 1 day, 16 hours, and 30 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> plox to snarf ch18, ty
billymg: but yeah, the "mp-wp roadmap proposal" post is something i've been meaning to do
billymg: mircea_popescu: ok for me to lockup the blog again?
billymg: so far main buckets as i see are: 1) new tmsr/repuplican theme, 2) automated tests, 3) kill unnecessary code
billymg: ok, i might capture/reference this in an upcoming post then, along with other potential roadmap items for consideration
