<BingoBoingo> pete_dushenski: Anyways the way comprehensive exams work is you gotta rewrite the thing either over the summer term or next semester from scratch. Hopefully before you next write for the comprehensive exam you read code.

mircea_popescu: “Bitcoin the currency is going nowhere. There is nothing behind it, and if it was big the governments would stop it,” said Dimon.
<<< :))
mircea_popescu: "Yves here. Get a cup of coffee. This is a deep dive into how Bitcoin works from a payment systems perspective, and why the failure of promoters and journalists to look at it in those terms has led them to greatly overestimate its significance."
<< "come hear my very novel take on why bitcoin is not disruptive because it doesn't do the buzzword i think i understand and for this reason matters more than everything else!"

mircea_popescu: 5) Function Macros And Recursion
<<< "What ended up being the bug in my preprocessor for this test case was in evaluating the argument prescanned tokens that were passed to a function macro invocation. If the function macro being invoked contained a token with the same identifier as the function macro being invoked, but didn't actually call that function macro, it would incorrectly disable this token. This bug combine

mircea_popescu: ./crypter.cpp- // Note as well that at no point in this program is any attempt made to prevent stealing of keys by reading the memory of the running process.
<< this is oddly the right choice.
mircea_popescu:
<mircea_popescu> but we're not there yet. so far, prepping a list of magic numbers.
<< mircea_popescu: ./main.cpp- for (;;)
<< i don't get it, if it's going to do plain for(;;) why the fuck does it want the fancy boost_foreach ?
mircea_popescu:
<asciilifeform> and even mircea_popescu apparently does, on occasion.

<+asciilifeform> mod6, shinohai: the version string patch works. BUT you will always see the default version in the boot log!!
<< personally I haven't even tried this yet. but I think he was saying that he checked the getinfo and that hadn't updated either.
mod6:
<+asciilifeform> mod6: what was this about 'snags' with the version patch ?
<< i'll dig it up, just a sec.
mod6:
<+mircea_popescu> well, i do think to some degree your patch should be restated, but not in the sense of replacing it altogether
<< yeah, ok. i'll do some work here today / tonight, do a re-test and the hopefully get it to the ML before the week is out.
mod6:
<+mircea_popescu> well, honestly, this wasn't intended as a release candidate, more like a commentary item
<< ok good deal. was kinda wondering if the forthcoming release patch should bundle this one in or not.
mod6:
<+mircea_popescu> not a great fan of vchSig and bs myself, eother.
<< yeah, im not sure why the var name needs to delcare that it is a vector of chars.
mod6:
<+mircea_popescu> specifically, imagine a future in which every line of code has 100 lines of commentary, much like the talmud (which is a VERY proper comparison)

http://dpaste.com/26VKRQG << re: There is no reason to test for both highS and lowS being set, because this is tested in init.cpp already, ...
<< For some reason I had it in my head that since this gets set in util.h/.cpp that both may become set at some point post execution if someone does something funny.
mod6:
<+asciilifeform> if (fHighS && (BN_cmp(sig->s, halforder)
< 0))
<+asciilifeform> generally i like to avoid hastening ulcers if possible
<< yeah, i dont know why I didn't do this to begin with. Heheh.
mircea_popescu:
<copypaste> i've even seen "security patches" where the patch was to make the stack bigger, even though the stack was the right size to begin with
<< mitigation amirite.
mircea_popescu: unsigned char pchSig[10000];// Can anyone explain why 10`000 ? Enough with the magic numbers already.
