gabriel_laddel: And I’m really not picking on Ruby, or Rails, or
this particular app. I hate deploying my own web software, because
there are so many parts all over
the system
that only barely know about each other, but if any of
them fail
then
the whole shebang stops working. I have at least five
things just running inside
tmux right now, because at least I can read
the logs and restart
them easily.
gabriel_laddel: Instead, we stack layer after layer of additional convoluted crap on
top of what we’ve already got because we don’t know how
to fix it. Instead, we flit constantly from
Thin
to Mongrel
to Passenger
to Heroku
to Bitnami
to Docker
to whatever new way
to deploy
trivial apps came out yesterday. Instead, we obsess over adding better Sass integration
to our frameworks.
gabriel_laddel: "We’ve been doing
this for 20 years. We should have
this by now. It should work, it should be pluggable and agnostic, and it should do everything right — so if you
threw away
the web gui, it would look like something a very
tidy sysadmin set up by hand, not autogenerated sludge.
mike_c: and/or
they aren't even pretending
to have
the coin
this
time.
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Ah, so
they learned
they don't want people
to see
their spends anymoar
mike_c: trying
to contribute with bitcoin results in a unique address being generated for your donation
mike_c: however
this
time around he doesn't seem
to be publicizing
the address
that 16k bitcoin is stored in..
BingoBoingo: In other news craptop running a Stator build is now up
to September 11th
BingoBoingo: FUCKING COCKSUCKING PEDONIGGERS FUNDING
THIS RETARD
mike_c: blog post: "how
to blow 31k btc in a year"
mike_c: what was
that stupid multi-sig address
they used..
mike_c: holy shit it's down
to 1800 btc? what did
they start with, 30k?
ascii_field: trinque: depends on whether you are a
terrurrrist
ascii_field: (how many will pakistan buy ~at
the current price~ ?)
ascii_field: anything less
than
that, won't keep vw alive
assbot: Logged on 28-09-2015 06:01:03; mircea_popescu: i would very much in my right mind buy one. what
the fuck do i care about all
the bullshit ?
punkman: ben_vulpes: sure sad, but I don't see
that derpy rails "devs" would make anything better if
they chanced upon better
tools
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: I don't
think
they actually have any functional cars in
their livery
though.
They prolly
tried converting
them
to run on an alternative fuel and got butthurt when
the Ether ended up detonating in
their fuel line.
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: Prolly 2,
though
they may be Ferrari people
kakobrekla: how many lamborghinis in
their lamborghini account?
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Oh shit! Expenses of 410,000 CHF a month and only 200,000 Swisscoin on
their balance sheet.
trinque: "First of all, it is indeed
true
that
the foundation???s finances are limited" << anditsgone.jpg
mircea_popescu: certainly most "vc" funds are spending more on "the internet"
than
they will ever make back.
mircea_popescu: pretty much every groupon "customer" is in
this situation.
mircea_popescu: i believe
this is
true by now for
the average business.
davout: "let's give a bunch of five years old some charts and crayons, see what
trends
they can come up with"
davout: conclusion being "don't echo stuff back" if I read
this correctly

to expound on
this for
the log readership : it is not
trivial but definitely feasible
to cause any running implementation of asymmetric cryptography
to leak key bits if it is possible
to direct encrypted matter at it in an automatic fashion and have live access
to
the results somehow.
this
theoretical fact is practically verified for pgp, and
davout: would you have a link
to one of
these
threads at hand?
mircea_popescu: for reasons discussed here on occasion you won't want
to expose automatically generated signed matter in plain
text.
davout: i'll
think about it some more
davout: tbh i don't
think
there's
that much difference between "I use an
https API of which I've validated
the cert fingerprint, and include GPG-signed receipts in
the responses
themselves" vs. "I wrap everything in GPG"
mircea_popescu: generally people
tend
to create
their own private
tunnels.
davout: the advantage of
the mpex-style API is
that everything is "receipt'ified" by default
davout: you can use
https without necessarily relying on
the PKI
davout: re jurov's comments suggesting an mpex-style API,
there's a slot for signed receipts in
the returned JSON
assbot: Logged on 25-09-2015 00:33:51; mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-09-2015#1284827 << he has a point.
the notion of putting
http in
there but
then going "The settlement part isn’t covered by
the document, for
the pretty simple reason
that settlement is a business matter, not a
technical challenge. It would also vastly complicate everything." is pretty wild.
davout: thanks for
the comments on
the remittance 'rfc'
BingoBoingo: <shinohai> Next
they shall endorse
TradeFortress' newest empire, with plenty of donations. << Again

punkman: "There is a serious amount of press focused on issues related
to Nazi-era forced art sales from Jewish owners during
the 1930s and 1940s.
There is a general art market fear of
the possibility of Nazi-looted art and whole provenance departments have grown up in museums, auction houses, law firms, etc
to deal with
the possibility
that
there might be a claim from heirs
to any bit of art."
punkman: I got
two m^3
tanks,
they
tend
to last for a few days
mircea_popescu: (and random discussion YET AGAIN undercovers
the well lied about ustardian poverty. hey random schmuck, did you know your DAD could afford 5x
the water
that may be wasted on your stupid head ? forged granpa.)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the future never came
to me. i generally get 7
to 10, and a coupla hundred galons is, if you do
the math, just about one
ton.
mircea_popescu: If your house was built in (<1980 is 5-7, 1981-1991 is 3.5, 1992> is 2.5)
the standard flow for showerheads
then was 5-7/3.5/2.5 gallons per minute.
punkman: that'd have
to be a pretty big shower hose
punkman: ton of water per shower? how many hours does
that
take?
mircea_popescu: and if you do
the math,
the per-capita water coming out of 15
tons would be under half a liter. ie, not even enough
to drink.
mircea_popescu: however. i do not
think i EVER showered in less
than a cubic meter of water. if people are half-like me, we're
talking 17k
tons a day, not 15.
mircea_popescu: if you don't make enough out of 35k schmucks
to pay for one
tanker
truck you'rfe in
trouble.
punkman: "a full building with 35,000 people would produce 7
tons of poop per day, plus all
the additional wastewater for showers, brushing your
teeth and so on,
totaling up
to 15
tons per day of wastewater."
punkman: "when you poop in
the Burj Khalifa,
that waste is actually
trucked out of
the city.
Trucked out of
the city! " << creates jobs
mircea_popescu: he's like a latter day george costanza
this dude, "he never quit". just hjas a great sense of humour.
mircea_popescu: dubai itself is one major arab startup in
the hotel industry.
BingoBoingo: <punkman> dubai is kinda startup-y << First rule of being a start-up-y place is high rent and cost of living. Burns
the capital faster.
mircea_popescu: hahaha
the saudis have had all
the ustardism
they can stand for.
cazalla: that lebanese chicken ain't
too bad
though
mircea_popescu: it won't fucking work, lebanon is
the equivalent of new mexico. about as defensible as a bowl of china.
mircea_popescu: so basically lebanon is
the new hope in
the usg middle east desperation ?
punkman: "Ten years ago, however, very few Lebanese were starting high-risk, fail-fast, profits-after-5-years companies like
their present-day entrepreneur counterparts. “We didn’t have
this culture of entrepreneurship,”"
BingoBoingo: Even Weev figured out he had
to gtfo Lebanon
mircea_popescu: "If you set aside
the sociopolitical factors beyond your control, you’re left with daily inconveniences of fragmented infrastructure like electricity cuts of up
to 6 hours, regular water shortages in
the summer and fall, and an average internet speed of 3.11 Mbps –
to put
things slightly in perspective, estimates abound
that doubling Lebanon’s
mircea_popescu: and who's alienhead, buterin or
trump ?
tbf
trump's head is mostly local, with
the exception of
the venusian hairpiece of course.
mircea_popescu: answer : ETHEREUM CAN NEVER REACH ZERO BECAUSE IT IS A
TECHONOLOLOLOL
mircea_popescu: question : how many days of 15% straight drops does it need for ethereum
to reach 0 ?
mircea_popescu: oshit, look at
that, in other news
trump is no longer shorter odds
than 1 on bitbet.
mircea_popescu checks
the eth prices,
the only
thing
that can cheer up a man in
these dark
times.
BingoBoingo: Or else
they'd be selling
them for recreational use
BingoBoingo: Well
the point is more likely
to sell fear
to
the children
VariaVarietatis: I never noticed marijuana have any sort of effect like
that
BingoBoingo: <VariaVarietatis> was wonder if a phone screen could cuase a seizure with right flicker and heartbeat
thats why I was looking for mircea_popescu << In people with photosensitive epilepsy 4-6 hertz of flashing can
trigger seizures
VariaVarietatis: was wonder if a phone screen could cuase a seizure with right flicker and heartbeat
thats why I was looking for mircea_popescu
VariaVarietatis: BingoBoingo: noticed you liked baseball did Babe Ruth really point out where he was going
to hit homeruns before batting is
that just a folk
tail?
VariaVarietatis: oh i'm sloppy
tonight surfing
the blogs made me want
to chat
BingoBoingo: Wait, nobody is dying now? WHat happened
to no one?
