mircea_popescu: sounds more like a weak network than anything
BingoBoingo: davout: And it still takes so long to sync days?
davout: BingoBoingo: doesn't seem to use up a lot
BingoBoingo: davout: How much of what kind of CPU is monero taking as it syncs?
davout: did you measure the total consumed BW for each sync?
davout: mod6: nice work on the metrics gathering!
BingoBoingo: !up TheAdversary
fluffypony: that was supposed to be me closing my IRC client
decimation: asciilifeform: heh the vacuum has a 'GE' logo
asciilifeform: ^ 18th episode of ru cult-cartoon 'just you wait' - a kind of sov. equivalent of american 'tom & jerry', takes place in 'beriozka' shop
decimation: thus freeing women from unwanted sexual attention to some degree
decimation: asciilifeform: I wonder what it was like to walk around in a society where marriages were arranged
asciilifeform is speaking of women, primarily; men seem to wear proverbial 'poker face' just about anywhere
asciilifeform: when talking to chums, etc. in public, these folks have precisely same face.
decimation: after all, if you could see the size of the egos in the dc area you would find tokyo roomy
decimation: perhaps it's the narcissism. "your real self" is only shown to those whom you select
decimation: yeah that's a fair point.
asciilifeform: but here - robots, there - people.
asciilifeform: if anything, far lower than, e.g., buenos aires
asciilifeform: can't say that we have 'tokyo' population density here in d.c. suburbs.
decimation: I think people's reaction to high population density is to treat humans as if they were robots
decimation: in my experience this is worse on the east coast
asciilifeform: i almost wanted to ask 'what are you doing here, in the kingdom of malicious robots, fellow earthling'
asciilifeform: this encounter was actually very interesting, because even from across the room and with naked eye, could tell she was not from usa --
decimation: heh > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsmark < "The Soviet Union demanded copies of the engraving plates, ink, and associated equipment in early 1944, and on 14 April 1944 Henry Morgenthau and Harry Dexter White of the U.S. Treasury Department authorized the immediate air transfer of these to the USSR. Using a printing plant in occupied Leipzig, the Soviet authorities printed large runs of occupation marks. Since these were converti
asciilifeform: generally these folks have better sense than to come here. ☟︎
asciilifeform: this is only 2nd or 3rd time i ran into anyone from ro in 22+ yrs of sitting in usa
asciilifeform spotted a gurl from transylvania today; she worked in a restaurant; queried based on accent, familiar from hanging out with mircea_popescu ☟︎
decimation: donno, some dude I guess. I have another with a young woman on it too
asciilifeform: who's the fella in the picture ?
decimation: http://snyderstreasures.com/images/paper/currency/5RM1Aug42F.jpg < the third reich currency is of much better quality (i have a couple of these too)
asciilifeform: and there were some interesting production glitches
decimation: heh all the pastel colors
asciilifeform traded a shoebox full of these ^ for his first $1 usd
asciilifeform: decimation: could easily expand the collection with a dozen kinds of sov-era toilet paper
decimation: I would add them to my collection of weimar notes
decimation: I wouldn't mind collecting a few of those
decimation: so presumably these 'cheques' were only handed out to foreigners and people with notes from stalin
asciilifeform never saw one of these things alive, only knows secondhand
asciilifeform: (to clarify, 'cheques' were abolished in '88, rather than the k00l k1dz shops)
asciilifeform: and the remaining 'birch' took them directly from all-comers.
decimation: heh that's amusing
asciilifeform: amusing story was, that the closure was announced in advance. and holders of the 'cheques' struggled to cash them in, somehow, somewhere
asciilifeform: back side reads 'this cheque is not subject to resale'
asciilifeform: decimation: on second look, there were 'beriozka' ('birch') shops which took dollars directly
BingoBoingo: !up tcrypt
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: also for revenue reasons. No customer wants to wait to cash back into outside money at the end of the night.
decimation: kinda ths same idea at casinos?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: presumably this is done to smooth the vig collection ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: A number of shittier ones. You trade dollars for "club money" dancers trade the club monopoly money for dollars. Like casino chips, but more tarded
asciilifeform: decimation: this particular variant of the 'k00l k1dz' store - yes
decimation: asciilifeform: so this was mainly limited to foreign embassy staff?
asciilifeform: what strip club works like this ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: So like the strip club
asciilifeform: which one got either by trading in dollars at airport (if you are a foreign tourist) or by having been paid in it in the first place, on account of being diplomatic staff or similar
asciilifeform: decimation: more complicated than this. you couldn't spend dollars per se in there, had to use special 'funny money'
decimation: surely some prole showing up with dollars would be enough cause to send the local security to check him out
decimation: asciilifeform: didn't you need a note from stalin to shop in the dollar store in su?
BingoBoingo may or may not be backing into MPOE monthly. Provided a given person didn't put too much into MPOE at 8+ and MPOE stabilizes long term near 5, could still be profitable.
BingoBoingo: MPOE seems like It's been awfully stable at the 3 mark lately ☟︎
cazalla: i've been getting those alerts for some months and i get hit with orphans and other shit when it happens and have to use a backup to start again
BingoBoingo: Oh, apparently that reddit post has a comment, but it is invisibru
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: because the trap isn't there
danielpbarron: confirming that the patch did in fact remove it
asciilifeform: ^ shitgnome key not involved; but proliferation of shitgnomiferous nodes leads to the trap
asciilifeform: ^ possible answer to the riddle
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://www.loper-os.org/pub/32rng.jpg
mats: and so are weighted toys
mats: a weighted vest is incredible for training a dog
BingoBoingo: Oh, and look what just popped up on reddit after being mentioned here another time: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/37j3cf/network_alert_circulating/
danielpbarron: lol gimp on winblows? is it so hard to crack photoshop these days?
BingoBoingo: Not questioner is refered to https://archive.is/F1OK7 which does not mention latest alert
BingoBoingo: Apparently when this started http://bitcoinstats.com/irc/bitcoin-dev/logs/2015/05/21#l1432217513.0
assbot: Logged on 27-05-2015 14:31:51; asciilifeform: gavin & the merry band of shitgnomes used their magic key to transmit 'Warning: This version is obsolete, upgrade required!'
trinque: ;;later tell gabriel_laddel I did a git pull, and now the repl fills with dots perpetually instead of freezing, looks like the stumpwm process is doing a lot
mod6: <+ascii_field> whole thing is, quite arguably, written 'in' boost rather than cpp proper << i saw some power-ranger derping in -dev about how it only use boost for "FOREACH" loops. was thinking "have you actually even read the code?!?"
ascii_field: cpp is a turd and it is boost which was used here to keep the turd sufficiently solid for lathe work
ascii_field: not only this, but the inevitable result would be a re-implementation of 'boost.'
mircea_popescu: yeah sadly this is not really distinct from plain rewrite
ascii_field: and you would have to replace the lists, hashmaps, etc. with something equivalent
ascii_field: danielpbarron: in principle. bloating the code 20x
danielpbarron: is it possible to replace all the foreach loops with regular old for loops?
ascii_field: whole thing is, quite arguably, written 'in' boost rather than cpp proper
ascii_field: danielpbarron: needed for just about all of the data structures !
danielpbarron: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp << is boost only needed for the FOREACH loops and some hardware control stuff in the mining functions?
assbot: Logged on 27-05-2015 20:46:33; *: ascii_field isn't tickled by the idea at all, confesses
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-05-2015#1146556 <<< i know eh, they poop from there after all ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 26-05-2015 09:03:12; mircea_popescu: in other news, this is why the girl should be taller than you : http://31.media.tumblr.com/20c2f2e3dd873ef89624ae370538a6da/tumblr_mub7xj0noX1sjfxgho1_400.gif
mircea_popescu: or as that chick in pride and prejudice points out, "sometimes it seems like wanting someone to stick his finger in your nose"
ascii_field: hence the 'different stokes' proverb
mircea_popescu: but the error here's thinking of sexual behaviour in objective terms. there's no such thing.
mircea_popescu: i know some people that have, let's put it this way.
ascii_field: i haven't tried coprophagia either
mircea_popescu: take that vexual.
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly, weirdest video of today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7J87UP-9Ww
mircea_popescu: so you don't understand the appeal of something you've never tried. not so remarkable neh ?
ascii_field: garden hose is far ahead on the list of what to try
mircea_popescu: ever tried it ?
ascii_field finds it an utterly incomprehensible taste, like the idea of fucking a garden hose
ascii_field isn't tickled by the idea at all, confesses ☟︎
