punkman: ben_vulpes: while signed pasties are nice for the pastie collector, ain't nobody got time for that
punkman: we'd have a lot more bad signatures if it wasn't the case
ben_vulpes: but i don't think you called out specifically that you can rewrite the whole file's line ending styles without invalidating it ☟︎
ben_vulpes: isn't it grand!?
ben_vulpes: isn't that called a webserver? ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 22:17:53; Azelphur: Haven't been active in here in a while, howdy :)
thestringpuller: and they don't pay dividends either
trinque: I don't see the fault with it.
thestringpuller: also iirc you don't pay any taxes if you technically make no profit.
assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 18:35:54; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we don't have sql in there now. this was re: the notion of using sqlite.
asciilifeform: anyway i can't think of any reason to venture into a lolmart in modern day
asciilifeform: l0l and here i thought it was because they don't get out
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: You only don't encounter many, because in capital zone they get deported here or Ohio. Or maybe you just haven't much been to walmart.
BingoBoingo: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1352046 << Many can't pose opencunted, because gunt. Pictures in log. ☝︎

assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 20:57:04; mod6: trinque: could deedbot be easily copied and modified to just have variable paste retention into a webdir or db of some kind? it wouldn't send to the blockchain like deedbot. then we could just have our own `pastebot'? is this dumb?
asciilifeform: or ask that one telco ceo who wouldn't sign up for nsa
punkman: isn't that SOP everywhere?
mircea_popescu: or did i misconstrue your question and you weren't asking something along the lines of "how COULD you stick your penis in brown!!1"
mircea_popescu: "The growing public attention sparked by the investment became both a heaven and a hell. On one hand, during the course of Gowalla’s life we received more tech press coverage than is right and holy for any startup. On the other, I dare you to find a post about Gowalla that doesn't mention Foursquare."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't think it's africanization, to me it seems very ... surfer culture, to be honest. the whole trend with walla this and palooza that traces back to that idiotic aussie band of the 90s wtf was it called.
assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 20:49:00; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1352382 << the concept is sound, however mind that we don't end up with as many patches as linechanges. "one thing" should be liberally construed, "removing remaining wxisms" seems a one thing for me.
assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 20:58:03; mod6: well, i thought we didn't want to send up all farts into the blockchain.
shinohai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1352462 <<< I don't like clutter, but if it pisses Luke-Jr off so much the better. ☝︎
mod6: maybe a dumb idea. and maybe it can't be easily modified to do that.
mod6: i make plenty of errors that I don't want to chisel into stone. :]
mod6: well, i thought we didn't want to send up all farts into the blockchain. ☟︎
mod6: Don't wanna make more work, just curious.

mircea_popescu: wasn't it one week ?

punkman: I assume those won't end up in debug log
asciilifeform: and then punkman doesn't end up writing a patch that needlessly conflicts (or vice versa)
punkman: haven't tried
mod6: maybe it just doesn't pull the keys any more.
punkman: /me has cases of negatives and film slides, looked into digitizing, came back with ain't nobody got time for that
asciilifeform: 'you wouldn't leave'em for the rubbish men'
mircea_popescu: here's a fun fact : the classical gestapo didn't know what to do to keep the idiot population from givingthem tips.
mircea_popescu: "By 2009 both men had left Apple and were working at Cooliris, which makes photo viewing software. Latour set up an office for Cooliris in Japan, and after spending some time traveling through Asia with his girlfriend, he became frustrated with how difficult it was to store and organize all the photos he was taking. He discussed an early idea for a product with Quennesson, who was interested in using math and science t
punkman: static scan doesn't give enough information for tailor, never mind machine designer
mircea_popescu: why didn't "Better Homes And Gardens" exist in 1980 Moscow ?
mircea_popescu: you know who can't stand it ? everyone else.
assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 19:04:16; punkman: mircea_popescu: more along the lines of "Why don't you try being a gluten-tard? Might be just the thing for you"
punkman: mircea_popescu: more along the lines of "Why don't you try being a gluten-tard? Might be just the thing for you" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform complicated. but their key people don't actually buy into the stupid.
punkman: I saw gluten-free bread in the local bakery earlier this year. The only bread that had a brochure and brand-name. Didn't last long.
assbot: Logged on 13-07-2014 03:53:10; asciilifeform: BayAreaCoins: what you don't appear to understand is that this is a 'military' puzzle, not a 'legal' puzzle.
assbot: Logged on 26-07-2014 18:48:15; asciilifeform: this is why i simply don't get people who continue to think of their relationship with the u.s. court system in legal, rather than military, terms.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it, so the guy rewards the naughty child with attention in the hopes it'll stimulate it to... think about how it's been naughty ?
mircea_popescu: and amusingly enough they can't actually block it.
assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 14:25:03; asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1351549 << we don't need a db in the usual, general sense. we need an indexer for the things we need an indexer for.
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1351774 << conversation wasn't strictly about trb but dbs in general ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we don't have sql in there now. this was re: the notion of using sqlite. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (why the everliving fuck should there be a sql interpreter in the binary? or runtime interpretation of hardcoded sql proggies ???!!!) << because at the time satoshbi made it he didn't have a clear design document and the usg stoolies anchored themselves on such chinks in the armor to "extend" and so forth.
asciilifeform: but this isn't why it sucks for bitcoin
punkman: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1351819 << wasn't trying to say that we need/want sql. but as far as dbs go, I've always found sqlite to be a reliable tool and there's no reasonable alternative for most of my use cases. I've never looked at the source, so no comments there. ☝︎
asciilifeform: 'Investors and executives generally get protections in a start-up that employees do not. Many investors have preferred stock, a class of shares that can come with a guaranteed payout. Executives frequently get special bonuses so they will not leave during deal talks. ... In contrast, start-up employees generally own common stock, whose payout comes only after those who hold preferred shares get their money. In Good’s case, t
mircea_popescu: in fairness, the guy wasn't exactly dumb, and the problem itself is not exactly trivial.
mircea_popescu: it didn't work (imo the best summary of the problem is - they ran into recursive cyclic graphs and couldn't recover)
mircea_popescu: shouldn't i get brownie points for taking all comers ? eh ?
asciilifeform: don't expect a 100kB turd in there.
assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 17:11:18; mircea_popescu: and we're calling it retarded because we don't know it's subverted. yet.
mircea_popescu: and we're calling it retarded because we don't know it's subverted. yet. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (take a known hash, do whatever is necessary to end up with file of that hash) <<< this is actually a great approach, if it weren't for off-by-dword issues
asciilifeform: aha except that it oughtn't load anything from the net if the necessary file is in a local distfiles dir
mircea_popescu: the guy's expensive shirts make an incredible situation with the "we couldn't afford a hotel room so we paid the porter to let us use the utility closet" thing
asciilifeform: nuland & co. don't personally relish sitting in a hot zone
mod6: ya, makes sense. sucks if you can't afford to buy the coal or what not
mod6: i looked for 'environment' in the code -- didn't find any relevant matches as far as I can tell: http://dpaste.com/1QDGFPN.txt
mircea_popescu: didn't they famously say natasha fucks better ?
mircea_popescu: the point isn't "the money", the money is always and everywhere as it is here a token. the point of the bribe is that the bribed becomes part of the clan of the briber, it's exactly a fucking wedding.
asciilifeform: m and m blew the usg minds for the simple reason that, as far as anybody could tell, they weren't bribed
mircea_popescu: it's funny how all the soviet defections were proof sovietism dun work (it didn't) but all the various us defections weren't proof usgism dun work (it... didn't).
asciilifeform: i don't recall my recipe needing understanding
shinohai is evidently too retarded to build using asciilifeform 's recipe. T_T

thestringpuller: which is different than error: couldn't connect to server
ben_vulpes: it ain't hard
mircea_popescu: you don't need rpc u/p to get a getinfo
punkman: I don't see how bitcoin needs a db server
punkman: mircea_popescu: the largest one had compressed web pages and metadata, but pretty much anything that doesn't need a db server

mircea_popescu: " And the way to keep it from breaking is to replace all the bits that are listed on the replacement schedule no later than the dates indicated on that schedule. It's either that or the thing goes “Ka-boom!” and everyone's hair falls out." << yes, except for the cynical west that actually wouldn't mind a few more nuclear "accidents". so what if they were fully preventable, deliberately man-made disasters ? at least
mircea_popescu: if you don't keep the pipes above 0, they freeze. if they freeze they split. if they split you can't keep the [mostly concrete prefab] dwellings livable, not now, not ever.
