shinohai: Porque la guitarra me
toqua, no al reves
trinque: wtf are
they going
to do with a storage server anyway
trinque: shinohai:
the acoustic had sentimental value, dad bought it for me.
shinohai: trinque: if you are like me, stealing a man's guitar is akin
to stealing his woman
mircea_popescu: and i suspect pretty strongly
that
the interest in romanian such as it is is because ~I~ speak it, here as well as in my harem and anywhere else genuine interest exists for
this particular item in
the "crappy language pack".
ascii_modem: sorta what i
tried
to explain
to ben_vulpes
mircea_popescu: i never ever spoke any russian, with anyone, pre b-a, because no, russian is not "the vocabulary", but principally
the set of historical russians. between
tolstoy and hruschev not so much
to pick.
mircea_popescu: <funkenstein_>
the language is
the lexicon <<
this is beyond naive and absolutely never
the case.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: eulora was also unreachable across
teh atlantic apparently.
mircea_popescu: takes 8+ days
to replace stolen printers in venezuela,
takes 8+ minutes
to do a splicing in us.net, etc.
mircea_popescu: "Sin impresora para
trámites agencia del Banco de Venezuela La Castellana
tras robo ocurrido hace 8 días."
mircea_popescu: this is how a bank looks in
the united states of america now. and in
the future.
ascii_modem: they
took
their sweet
time, installing
that splice...
trinque: my car was smashed-n-grabbed
two nights ago, stole
that 4u I picked up and some other computers, guitars, etc
☟︎ mircea_popescu: them rays are strong
today, better do less global warming for bitcoin mining!
mircea_popescu: (robbed bank in venezuela,
thieves
took printers and
tvs)
mircea_popescu: "El periodista Daniel Colina informó por medio de su cuenta en la red social
Twitter informó que el Banco de Venezuela ubicada en La Castellana fue robado el pasado 10 de agosto en horas de la noche, los maleantes solo se llevaron las impresoras y
televisores del lugar."
mircea_popescu: apparently. is a paste by kako above, i have my own copy
too
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> and nobody can make me. << gotta love republican
thought!
mircea_popescu: t we use ecc ? or pki ?
they're "perfectly functional solutions"
that "other people" have "come
to expect" blablabla.
mircea_popescu: sure, one can pretend
that "well, it's a country." if one wants
to. but for foreigners, no, it isn't. it was an empire and now it's nothing. not even a hole.
mircea_popescu: e a ridiculously quaint figure stuck on
the long sunk battleships of
the past.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> great, but why? <<
this is a complex point and would require some more indepth discussion
to do it justice. in summary
to my eyes it is an early attempt by
the microsoft citatel
to parlay compatibility problems of early linux into a "here, we've strangled it" usg solution. it failed
to work irl, and
the failure of java is
torvalds' chief merit in
this world. using it
today is not unlike using ripple. you'r
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell bingoboingo i must point out qntra is in fact satisfying its job as a news site. I get news
thgere.
shinohai: \o/ now if i only had btc
to
trade with
the mermaids!

mats: from
the foreword: 'In short, at a
time when
the United States needs
the most help,
the prospects for receiving it, with
the exception of a few allies, look more worrisome
than at any point since perhaps
the immediate aftermath of World War II.' - COL (Ret.) Lovelace

mats: afaik usn/usaf programs are
the ones
that kill people via rc
mats: as far as i know
the army only operates drones
to surveill and recon
ascii_field: and a solenoid
to squeeze it back out on command
ascii_field: or perhaps a little cup in which
to stuff a frag with
the spoon out
ascii_field: one example of 'military' feature would be, say, guidance via laser (or something else
the opponent can't jam with $5 of components)
mats: what qualifies as 'military'? i don't believe
the army operates any uas with arms
ascii_field: mats: what was nominally 'military' about it, other
than
the cost ?
mats: piece of shit would fall out of
the sky a quarter
to
third of
the
time it was flown
mats: my boss was a master instructor for
the raven, 'military-grade UAS'
ascii_field: mats: not
that it can't fly a frag. sop in donbass.
mats: its all
toy store hardware, man
thestringpuller: I could
tell as soon as I read
the nonsense you post about Blockstream
thestringpuller: Yes, Bitcoin will go up in value just by people holding it.
That's how commodities work. I don't see anyone "using" gold.
ascii_field: hardening detects a faulty signature, does not write
the result
to a caller-provided buffer, returns an error.'
ascii_field: 'Some servers occasionally or consistently produce ServerKeyExchange messages which contain RSA signatures which are zero. Encoding of
the number zero varied. In some cases, zero or one bytes were
transmitted. Sometimes
the length of
the signature matched
the size of
the RSA modulus.
The latter suggests
that
the server implementation may have omitted
the copy of
the computed signature.
This could happen if RSA-CRT
ascii_field: ^ guess who and what isn't cited in
this paper, l0l
ascii_field: 'We observed one rather peculiar factorization of a RSA modulus, involving factor 23. What happened was
that
the public key in
the X.509 certificate was corrupted in some (there was a bit flip, according
to
the server operator), and equation (1) accidentally revealed
the factor 23.
The corrupted modulus had other small factors,
too, and a large composite factor with an unknown factorization.'
ascii_field: (this would be hosted on a wwwtronic
thing similar
to
turdatron, presumably)
ascii_field: ideally, each 'bubble' would be clickable and contain links
to download patch and all signatures
trinque: or if ben_vulpes wants
to, sounds fine
too
trinque: and maybe do some general
tidying
trinque: I could hack on
that
this weekend
ascii_field: ^
this one is actually necessary and if no one else does it, i will. but can't promise ~when~.
trinque: I don't use classes in python if I can avoid it, nor many other parts of
the language
ascii_field: ben_vulpes:
there are
two kinds of brevity
ben_vulpes is not convinced
that brevity is
the be all and end all.
ascii_field: ben_vulpes:
this is fine if you're adding a useful knob
assbot: Logged on 25-04-2015 22:06:38; asciilifeform:
to paraphrase mircea_popescu article, if christ saves in java - let me go straight
to hell.
trinque: I
think python is a fair choice given
the circumstances
trinque: was
thinking re:
the DSL comment
ascii_field: as for cl, a unix
tool with multi-second startup
times is not usable here.
funkenstein_ admits java was mother
tongue, still finds himself
translating in head from other languages
ascii_field: perl was
the only serious candidate, and if ben_vulpes would like
to attempt a cleaner version (!) in it, i'm all ears.
trinque: I am painfully aware of
teh suck of python
ascii_field: trinque: but i was unable
to find a suitable replacement for
this item.
trinque: ben_vulpes: I recommended
testing!
trinque: and
then you could use
the
tests
to rewrite later
trinque: python's fine; guy needs some
tests is all
ben_vulpes: two 'clean', 'well-defined' items whose use produces code
that is illegible.
trinque: bash olympics, which somehow reminds me of
the BME olympics
ben_vulpes: the 'dsl' so produced by
their use is not in any sense legible, however.
ascii_field: they are cleaner, more well-defined items
than python, yes.
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: let's get
to
the matter, if you would like
to rewrite 'v' in sed and awk, go ahead. i was not equal
to
the
task.
assbot: Logged on 04-09-2015 17:36:10; ben_vulpes: "i'll cut stainless, but you keep
that piece of shit al off my machines"
ascii_field: the real question is why should i even consider
the matter. because i can't really see why i should not also consider flossing my
teeth with barbed wire, if considering java.
trinque: there are probably many packages you could all but guarantee are in
the vast majority of java projects
trinque: yeah I do get really scared when say leiningen pulls down five hundred java modules of questionable origin, when I've worked in Clojure in
the past
ascii_field: the language, in
this case, is not just a language but an ecosystem with unavoidable exposure
to
the work of many previous users
ben_vulpes: "i'll cut stainless, but you keep
that piece of shit al off my machines"
☟︎ ascii_field: actually it is less about languages and more about
the people who used
them.
ben_vulpes wonders what it must be like
to feel so strongly about programming languages
trinque: the "native method interface"
thing
