nubbins`: "And the defect rate is particularly notable; at inception the software was unusually free of defect. Unlike many other initial Bitcoin packages which in their first releases were full of crashes and deadlocks Bitcoin was nearly free of them. Most of the serious bugs fixed subsequently were added by other people."
mircea_popescu: it makes very little sense to actually bother even trying to get the fine shit alligned
mircea_popescu: the big problem intel faces is that in a world where you can get a billion dollars for free just for being where the pellet landed in iraq,
ascii_field: it'd take all of half an hour. but anyway.
mircea_popescu: myeah. you got better stuff to do.
mod6: << nuts huh << off of a Tiny, with 1 BON!! that's one for the books
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i suppose when you quit using that thing and post the src, i will be able to tell you why !
mircea_popescu: ascii_field good. i still can't get my nodes to eat the block in question.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell gavinandresen how's the moore law coming along, shithead ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: as of this morning, 'zoolag' was fully synced and happily serving 40 or so connections
mod6: <+jurov> daniel dutifully declared "Business" as NO SUCH LABS, i grinned all the way back << :>
mircea_popescu: sucks trying to talk to the anon herd already.

mircea_popescu: ;;google gavin the bitcoin shithead
mircea_popescu: what's that schmuck's handle
diametric: i explicitly use it to save pms, and it fails at it.
thestringpuller: but i'll email you as soon as I get to my home machine. probably will boot it up tonight instead of reading comics.
mircea_popescu: who was arguing the point with me, decimation ?
diametric: hmm my bouncer is terrible

mircea_popescu: should insta-ban a node sending that, just waste of bw.
assbot: Logged on 16-07-2015 14:21:09; asciilifeform: also, learned that the 'EXCEPTION: St12out_of_range CInv::GetCommand() type=3 unknown in ProcessMessages()' often found in therealbitcoin log comes from phoundation nodes sending 'bloom filter' command, a turd only they support
assbot: Logged on 16-07-2015 11:56:10; fluffypony: I tore into that moron on Twitter for that, and that's what led to me being banned from attending in future
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-07-2015#1203490 << can it be text summary or image ? youtube decided to cease working on non-retarded systems meanwhile. ☝︎

BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> kill the mempool, kill the relay << On some level relay is still necessary.
kakobrekla: did you ship them disassembled?
jurov: daniel dutifully declared "Business" as NO SUCH LABS, i grinned all the way back

Naphex: Will be launching a non x-rated Xotika.TV spin-off called otika.tv. For whatever people wanna stream that doesn't need lots of disclaimers ;]
ben_vulpes: kill the mempool, kill the relay
trinque: from Stroustrup talk
trinque: "Why don't you let people define their own abstractions, and put the abstraction mechanism into the language?"
thestringpuller: I found that during the "spam attack" my node was using almost 90% of it's upstream bandwidth relaying transactions.
thestringpuller: 0.5.3.1 nodes are sleeper cells atm too, (vis-a-vis ascii's node being recognized by bitnodes.io)
thestringpuller: Also I thought if your mempool doesn't match another node's that node will isolate you.
danielpbarron: although come to think of it, my home internet did seem kinda sluggish as of late
danielpbarron: i don't know enough to answer that, but i doubt it's bandwidth
thestringpuller: Does it max on it's bandwidth or is it slow in "verifying" new tx's?
danielpbarron: i think much of the issue is solved with BingoBoingo's patch that lets 0.5.3 bitcoin.conf have a line defining the minimum tx fee for relaying
danielpbarron: the blocks themselves take no more than a few minutes to verify, but it isn't always verifying blocks
thestringpuller: That was happening on my full node too so I had to shut it down.
danielpbarron: gets bogged down trying to recieve and relay so many spam transactions
danielpbarron: what with this nonStandard tx spam probably being the new norm
danielpbarron: i don't think it can fully sync anymore as-is without direct connect to a "blessed" node
danielpbarron: my pogo is currently -connect'd to ascii's thing, now is getting blocks in a reasonable timeframe
mats: ya'll need to cool it with the hate bandwagons, curiousity about how things work is a superior and more palatable approach ☟︎
thestringpuller: ^^^ trigger warning

asciilifeform: but one is a journo-spammer and doesn't appear to have any part in software
asciilifeform: found at least two of'em
ben_vulpes: well there's that then
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: looks like they might be two separate people
ben_vulpes: especially if i can get multi-box access to the data store
asciilifeform: worth a shot, if you have a serious use for this
asciilifeform: it claims to work with pg, but i was never able to achieve this
ben_vulpes: ever try it with pg?
ben_vulpes: neat, ty asciilifeform
asciilifeform: (the ffi crud has to be just-so, etc)
asciilifeform: has the consequence of making it a first-class bitch to set up on a given box
asciilifeform: re: 'elephant', note that the backend is not pure lisp
asciilifeform: enough to get a good sense of the flavour.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: apparently no one on the net has the statice book up. so here it is, http://www.loper-os.org/pub/statice.pdf

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i was nattering to trinque that i wanted a pure lisp database just last night. "here are some CLOS thingers: return me the ones of interest"
asciilifeform: mod6, ben_vulpes, mircea_popescu, et al: we might wanna catch that exception instead of letting it propagate to the 'errors:' buffer
asciilifeform: also, learned that the 'EXCEPTION: St12out_of_range CInv::GetCommand() type=3 unknown in ProcessMessages()' often found in therealbitcoin log comes from phoundation nodes sending 'bloom filter' command, a turd only they support ☟︎
thestringpuller: asciilifeform beat me to it
asciilifeform: it almost succeeds at shooting the very concept of db in the head ('i will do whatever i want to this data structure, and it will still be there if machine resets, without my having mutilated it in any way to make this possible')
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 02:03:19; asciilifeform: trinque: or the open src 'elephant'
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-07-2015#1203378 << aha. http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=09-06-2015#1157467 >> it is spiffy, but difficult to build at first ☝︎☝︎

fluffypony: this is my favourite slide from the Bitcoin Africa conference
nubbins`: "Home cooking is still the best way to control the calories, fat, sugar and other nutrients that families consume, a new U.S. study suggests."
HeySteve: "stair mode hasn’t been approved by U.S. regulators yet, so ReWalks bought here currently have that function blocked."
nubbins`: "The ReWalk 6.0 has a steep list price: US $77,000. Woo said there’s no chance his insurance provider will reimburse him: “They won’t even pay for my wheelchair,” he said."
nubbins`: "He got a few curious looks as he strode forward in his sleek black gear, but the fast-walking New Yorkers didn’t slow down or clear space for him."

HeySteve: "there's a bunch of fish in the sea... but how do you catch one if your line's so short!"
HeySteve: hello there
nubbins`: the irish, in turn, blessed nf english with such words as "scrob", "streel", and "sleveen"
nubbins`: nf is notable for being one of very few places in the world which has its own name in the irish language
mircea_popescu: you mean thousand km^2 ?

nubbins`: ;;google the island of newfoundland
nubbins`: heh, tell me about it.
mircea_popescu: if you're larger than a rat, at any rate.
mircea_popescu: all islands suck to live on
mircea_popescu: i don't see that it'd make enough to pay for the servers.
nubbins`: hawaii, to me, seems to be a nice place to visit but a really shitty run-down place to live
nubbins`: used to be free / ad-supported
nubbins`: does the site even make money these days?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` this is possibly the oldest rule in the book.
mircea_popescu: still seems insane to me.
nubbins`: turns out if you wait long enough they'll suck your cock instead of the other way around
cazalla: ah well good on him, never took the startup route with investors and shit
nubbins`: with ASP.NET technology, no less.
cazalla: "There are an estimated 100,000,000 users on PlentyOfFish." sounds like plenty of fish to me.. anyway this guy use to be a regular on wickedfire.com and got that site started creating fake profiles back in the day
