punkman: and the answer is yes http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2469736/Cops-bust-dealers-40lbs-BLUE-meth--just-like-Walter-Whites-famous-formula-Breaking-Bad.html
punkman: are the rednecks painting their meth blue yet?
punkman: "Preet Bharara thanked authorities in Liberia, Romania and Thailand for assisting with the US investigation."

ben_vulpes: trinque: knows a thing or two about pulling that hat trick off
ben_vulpes: bulk of the project is a mongo -> postgresql conversion
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: when you say rescue project...you mean rescue them from those technologies right?
phf: we had this girl in the country house area, who every summer would be into the most pop thing of the time. we'd play a game, end of may when you get there, ask her if she's into whatever trashy thing at the time, "oooh, i love it how did you know". can do same with full stack developers by scanning hackernews frontpage
BingoBoingo: Who would have though, building trees leaf first
assbot: Logged on 28-08-2015 03:14:58; asciilifeform: a 'release' is merely a particular kind of vpatch which deliberately touches a desired set of leaves, and turns into a leaf set which, when selected, produces the sought after tree.
ben_vulpes: across html tags*
thestringpuller: it's like some college dropout went through github and chose every web technology that seemed "fun" at the time regarding php.
thestringpuller: how you write code this poorly configured, I do not know.
thestringpuller: The code is so poor it works differently on all three environments, so the only way to truly know if it works is to test on production.
ben_vulpes: what's dev other than your laptop?
thestringpuller: So at work I'm migrating a web property from an agency to my company's control. So I have 3 environments: dev, staging, production.
assbot: Logged on 28-08-2015 03:07:13; asciilifeform: gotta make damn sure that it behaves.
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-08-2015#1254179 << asciilifeform, breaking the tradition of bitcoin crapware and now the b-a 'test in production only' deployment philosophy! ☝︎
ben_vulpes muses on the notion of hanbot wearing something ill-fitting
assbot: When Prisons Need to Be More Like Nursing Homes | The Marshall Project ... ( http://bit.ly/1Jnee2b )
thestringpuller: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3ioila/surviving_a_transaction_flood_and_keeping_your/ << BingoBoingo article is getting transaction.
trinque: somebody have a manifesto to promote?
punkman: "College campuses on gun lockdowns today: Mississippi State, Texas Southern, Savannah State."
phf: qntra should hire a buxom lady with an ill fitting shawl for cto then
thestringpuller: qntra will stomp CoinTelgraph and CoinDesk in the nuts when the time comes
phf: no, but would be appropriate given the prose style
thestringpuller: who rips off kill bill these days...
thestringpuller: phf: does she really say that in the video?
phf: "As your leader, I encourage you from time to time, and always in a respectful manner, to question my logic."
thestringpuller: https://www.zapchain.com/a/mXy1NF0e6T << this chick....
assbot: Logged on 28-08-2015 02:14:58; moonpunter: well this thing that just happened in ferguson, where the cops showed up with overwhelming force and the kid decided to shoot at them before he died. it's like at what point are you allowed to defend yourself if you are reasonably certain you're going to die.
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-08-2015#1254018 << the whole thing's a small nudge or ten away from people with guns realizing that cops hate getting shot at, the state hates cops getting shot at, and generally anyone with the stones to make an effort to rack up up a body count on their way out stands an even chance of not even having to go out ☝︎
trinque: that said I did target qemu for my gentoo builder, just to have a defined target at all
trinque: you've got a giant wad of incomprehensible shit, so at least if you snapshot the turd at various life-stages you can return to one when you've screwed up everything
trinque: latest incarnation of this
asciilifeform: (in the logs one can learn that i suggested it to therealbitcoin folks)
phf: i think the idea makes sense for development in general, i mean "full stack" crowd approximates it by running a vm with the stack
asciilifeform: (a small computer which is not ~quite~ large enough to comfortably run gcc on)
asciilifeform: phf: a number of folks here were introduced to the concept for the first time when they met with 'pogo'
asciilifeform: trinque: ... the right fit of concepts << sometimes called 'orthogonality' ☟︎
asciilifeform: <phf> mats: dos dev is sop multimachine. if you read early gamedev reminiscence professional setup almost always involved two machines, the dev environment and the game testing machine, with some rapid way to synchronize the two... <<< this is how 'embedded' work is still done, and imho it is the correct way to program
trinque: shows it's not just minimalism that's to be sought, but precisely the right fit of concepts.
trinque: it's quite a thing; I've worked under guys that demanded minimalism and it didn't hold a candle to this.
asciilifeform: or, when producing a buildable tree - build.
asciilifeform: or, in the case of flow graph, examine visually.
asciilifeform: and, notably, never alters them
asciilifeform: trinque: importantly, 'v' is stateless other than the three directories spoken of earlier.
asciilifeform did not feel like 'truly knows how to program pc' until he wrote first tsr, as a boy
trinque: git for example, sure, has a tree in it, which is to say the monstrously large pile of git concepts has a sort of tree-like structure in it, among myriad other things
asciilifeform: phf: hp200lx dos machine does astonishing things with tsr
asciilifeform: trinque: this is not accidental.
phf: 1 through 4
phf: mats: dos dev is sop multimachine. if you read early gamedev reminiscence professional setup almost always involved two machines, the dev environment and the game testing machine, with some rapid way to synchronize the two. not that are you necessarily limited to a single task at a time, you can load a tsr to perform a handful of auxiliary task, like notes or calculator or whatever. i think that's how "widgets" were implemented in apple's system
asciilifeform: so far it is ~one page, of 'python' prog. lang., if anyone has something else they would like to see it in, write to me
asciilifeform: but it still remains to me, to put human knobs on it.
asciilifeform: i have already written the 'mathematical' portion. which actually snarfs up and computers the graph flows, and checks sigs
asciilifeform: (in the sense of, people who are not writing these, but desire to make some sense of what has been written.)
asciilifeform: at any rate, it'll be a handy thing for folks such as hanbot.
asciilifeform: a 'release' is merely a particular kind of vpatch which deliberately touches a desired set of leaves, and turns into a leaf set which, when selected, produces the sought after tree. ☟︎
asciilifeform: which corresponds to a particular set of leaf nodes in the dependencyflowgraph.
asciilifeform: selections produce a buildable tree.
asciilifeform: thing does exactly three basic kinds of thing - verifies sigs; determines what subcoagulations of spittle in the spittoon are in fact in single strands; and permits operator to select individual strands, and cut'em (by whatever criteria, including signatories or combinations thereof) ☟︎
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i am saying these things with the secret hope of weaseling out of writing a manual later. << I though this is what danielpbarron does
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think so fart you just might.
BingoBoingo: http://qntra.net/2015/08/many-pools-rejecting-xt-in-favor-of-other-undefined-fork/#comment-46931 << Replying to our Nigerian Prince
asciilifeform: i am saying these things with the secret hope of weaseling out of writing a manual later.
mircea_popescu: very much exactly this. there's a line from me somewhere in log going "all i want to figure out is what keys"
asciilifeform: get the files. place in dir.
asciilifeform: none of that 'import' and 'retrieve' idiocy
asciilifeform: gotta make damn sure that it behaves. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Ah, that is good news.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: good news, you don't yet have to figure out 'v'
BingoBoingo swears will eventually start publishing bitcoind patches to mailing list and not qntra, but still has to figure out diff, and nao v
mircea_popescu: sometimes /me is happy to be contradicted by events
asciilifeform: who they are - i've no idea.
mircea_popescu: but hey, we're also the only ones to want to have the P, because everyone else just needs summaries and narratives.
mircea_popescu suspects that we're actually the only ones to have the P
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: ty fixed ☟︎
mircea_popescu: yes, they matter for the bureaucrats who'd like to pass for mds, and which are presented as such by the state much like the guy in a white coat is presented as "a scientist" by advertising execs
mircea_popescu: as far as i'm concerned, as the MD i'm not actually, the bizarro notions re "add" and whatnot inthe dsm make exactly 0 difference.
mircea_popescu: but this "coexistence" is a purely anthropological consideration.
asciilifeform: (best defined as states of mind rather than the particulars of physical manipulations, which tend to be superficially very similar - and often enough, exactly identical)
asciilifeform: the phase transition is interesting in that there is a great interval where chemists, alchemists - coexist
mircea_popescu: not because they're simply ignored ?
mircea_popescu: so in this perspective chemistry is only clean of alchemists because time offed them ?
asciilifeform: i mean, in the hypothetical scenario of 'cleaning the discipline'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform should i also impale the ugly/stupid women ? on my own dime ? what else ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Thank you, also cpp is blockquoted
asciilifeform: (they don't, typically, have the decency to impale themselves)
asciilifeform: but you do. of legionaries. to impale the pseudoscientists.
assbot: How to deal with pseudoscience ? on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1MRVDzE )
asciilifeform: i meant, easier in terms of resource.
mircea_popescu: notrly. computing actually has to do something.
deedbot-: [Qntra] Surviving a Transaction Flood - http://qntra.net/2015/08/surviving-a-transaction-flood/
mircea_popescu: and this reads lots like "if i had money and brains i'd try to be alf and fix computing"
asciilifeform: 'Should I ever strike it rich enough to endow a foundation, I would pay legions of trained statisticians to go through the literature and eviscerate the mountains of bad “research” and arrive at the truth. If Universities were interested in advancing human knowledge, rather than circle jerks with a football team, they’d fund entire departments of people who do nothing but this.'
asciilifeform: st two people on this list are complete scientific frauds. Probably, most of them are.'
asciilifeform: s subjects, like, you know, me, the buxom Russian girl reading Dirac in the corner, the options trader eating a sandwich, and the girl pouring the coffee, who is studying mathematics. This indicates to me that such people are so abysmally stupid and unaware of their own deficiencies, they couldn’t achieve a scientific result if they actually tried to do so. Have a click on this link for the UCB psychology department: at lea
asciilifeform: 'I have often heard learned psychology department dunderheads stating what the result of their paper will be, and instructing their underlings to mine the data for p-values. I suppose they may have thought themselves speaking over the heads of the rabble, since nobody else from their department was visible. Mind you, they did this in a public place, in a town which is filled to the nostrils with people with training in rigorou
