BingoBoingo: And re: keeping up with chaintips - Quite
a few big as ships lined up off short waiting for their turn in port.
mod6: will see if I can clean it up
a bit more tomorrow.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-29 02:57 phf: that would be
a very gruesome science fiction narrative, if that was actually the case.
a kind of strugatsky's roadside picnic :>
trinque: maybe we're not far from
a sane p2p chat implementation
trinque: anyhow I wrote it; ben_vulpes added
a patch.
phf: sounds like
a decade update attempt to cryptonomicon
mircea_popescu: but, do not give managers
a black eye. i for one often can't understand c.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-29 02:57 esthlos: it seems specifically designed to reduce the intelligence of the programmer to what
a manager can understand
mircea_popescu: they were major factor in why there even IS
a papacy in the first place, though.
phf: i sort of assumed (and that was sometimes topic of these derivative works) that mandate doesn't last more then
a generation or two
mircea_popescu: i expect the way these generally work is, starved copywriter threw some shit together while hungover. since it was bought he put
a little more work into it later on.
phf: it's not the case for canticle (where it is sort of accidental, in
a sense that "everything's so fucked that nobody cares, but when they do we have Electric Light!")
mircea_popescu: anyway, the important part in the actual history is that the abbey was de facto sovereign ~deliberately~, set up that way by the duke on purpose. i dun recall exactly the us retcon, but it was accidental if memory serves ? which is already
a reduction, in my view.
mircea_popescu: there is
A REASON "european civilisation" bla bla, and that reason is the remarkable stability introduced through unlikely means.
a sort of humour.
phf: one is an accumulation of knowledge on the subject of history in your head, the other one is
a written book of that title, that one, if one were so inclined, could track down and read :)
phf: the nick is going to make
a difference, it's 250 characters by the way
ben_vulpes: what i did for candi was to link
a paste
a111: Logged on 2017-05-16 01:36 asciilifeform: in other near-term lulz,
a 'pbot' is in the worx, so that folx can play with various input->output pairs in-chan
mircea_popescu: !
A .F00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000A.F00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000B-[=]#
mircea_popescu: nice. will make
a great tool i expect, can reference bot in examples etc.
pehbot: asciilifeform: this prints (but this is
a comment) some text
phf: !
A [or rather ].1"#[ ]000#
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform !
A help would be nice once you get around to it.
phf: mircea_popescu: well, i thought he's got some minimalist tendencies, like left shift is done with
a bunch of 0's and right shift is done with
a combination of twig and rock
phf: cause you can do
a ghetto left shift with 000 :>
mod6: i kinda like this thing, and while your loper posts are fresh, i'd like it hang for
a bit.
phf: didn't we have
a candi session!
phf: though come to think of it, in colorforth it'll make things more expensive (since now each digit basically costs
a header-and-
a-word's-worth)
phf: i feel like you chould email it to chuck moore, he'll get
a kick out of it "saves 25 bits on my greenarray cluster!"
phf: well, . puts
a zero and the 1-9A-F mutates the top, so you don't have to have state in the parser
phf: ascii: isn't '
a dup?
phf: thing expects
a complicated challenge response state machine to happen
phf: i had that experience when i tried implementing an older spec of gossipd. i wrote it in C, actually CWEB, but i wasn't doing literate programming right, and after
a while the whole thing became overwhelming.
phf: i mean, if you read norvig's python snippets you can clearly see they are written by
a very experienced lispers. you literally never see python like that in the wild, but yet there it is.

☟︎ phf: please do, it would be useful as
a reference, but also for me specifically: btcbase.org/patch is written in common lisp, but it can only eat vpatches, not spit them out, so
a mcilroy would be
a solid addition
phf: this follows ascii's pattern of trying to bend existing tools to our needs, before we know enough to do
a greenfield rewrite. there's
a lot of ideas floating around what v is supposed to do.
a clean rewrite of mcilroy could serve as
a basis for further work, but you should perhaps follow discussion in the logs on the subject to get the full scope of the problem
phf: what you have on top of original paper is unified diff format and the handling of multiple files in
a single patch. (that's where you run into the bulk of extra code; things like sorting directory is simply unpleasant to do in C)
