Framedragger: not particularly. states were able to opt out of ACA which was not in the original plan; but the shutdown?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: curious, if you're referring to obamacare re. healthcare bill, what did you mean re insolvency? or was that more in jest? ACA reduced budget deficit; but my knowledge is very superficial, so..
Framedragger: yeah i thought it was leftist weed central or sth
Framedragger: i see the point. yah, it's more funky that way
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i can't bridge the parallel in my mind.
Framedragger: the latter appears more rational and therefore to a degree more sexy, but the former may be into s/m
Framedragger:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-08#1563895 << heh! plenty o' russians in latvia. i think 2020 is the year when the eu bribe moneys for the baltics will begin to dry up, so maybe about that time? lithuania on the other hand is in full "satan putin is preparing for nuclear" warmongering mode. helps the centre-right party and its "foreign policy" line
☝︎ Framedragger: i personally don't see how he is doing any worse in terms of snr as compared so some others. (e.g., myself; that's probably not an argument that is very favourable to me, but anyway). don't see why you are suddenly so fussed.
Framedragger: if they ask for an example tell them "well for instance if you really tried hard you could perhaps become a great slavegirl. start with $trilema-tits-url"
Framedragger: phf should just tell them that he too is on a board of a small but growing grass-roots community-network which is trying to help people achieve their best in life
Framedragger: trinque: i know i know. (i'm young to answer q)
Framedragger: i can imagine. i mean.. laggy audio on 2ghz cpu because multiprocess OS
Framedragger: yeah, linux audio folks have these suggestions to "run everything on a realtime kernel", which is probably akin to pouring a bit of water (which may or may not be mixed with gasoline) on a large fire.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: asciilifeform: but if you want 3d soundspace with coordinates of sounds etc?
Framedragger: (in one of his talks karmack did complain that (something like) "it's still ridiculous that i can send a packet to another continent than i can send a click to my sound card!" - basically, multiple middlware layers are involved and it's a bit.. stinky. but at least one can stick to a good API and reduce the headache..)
Framedragger: which is something i'd like to avoid; but if i can't - then i guess it's still the best thing available
Framedragger: thestringpuller: yeah you're totally right and i really like the api - it's nice! it does seem that to make sure everything incl hrtf works on a person's PC it needs to be installed to system dirs and then linked dynamically as folks had problems with static linking; and apparently for windows the 'proper' way to do it is to first install creative's openal version, and *then* install openal-soft on top
Framedragger: (was afk.) (i guess it's unavoidable to a point because e.g. you need to somehow pass down complex scene info (not only sources and listeners but also obstacles for occlusion/reverb) into a low-level api)
Framedragger: but man is audio a mess. so much middleware and layers
Framedragger: the -soft fork of openal seems very decent enough. i was hoping for something high/lazy-level for graphics so i don't have to deal too much with it (it'd be just 2d shapes anyway, no textures etc, super simplistic), and lower-level for audio so i can mess around with it. openal-soft as of now best contender
Framedragger: unity hsa this oculus audio sdk which does HRTF and everything, but no occlusion. openal-soft does the latter as well as HRTF
Framedragger: thestringpuller: pyglet for prototyping (yes yes python & graphics wtf), later - i do not know, i considered unity for prototyping, too (fat thing, that, yes). for ease of sake, very likely sdl for graphics and events, but not set.
Framedragger: (mandatory 'fuck creative labs and fuck microsoft for pulling back on soundcard APIs)
Framedragger: in unrelated news/queries, game audio has deteriorated in the last 10 years. used to be proper 3d positional audio. am trying to build a shitty 2d top-down thingie with proper HRTF etc for audio, don't suppose anyone has any recommendations? if worx on linux, enough in principle. linux + osx + windows = ideal
Framedragger: thestringpuller: no not in the sense that you mean..
Framedragger: (i'm in an energetic mood today, teenage mode = collateral damage)
Framedragger: i too learned to type in was it 3rd grade :p but the light is aw3some. seriously tho, yeah it's not powerful at all
Framedragger: i actually like to have a sticky note near palm to scribble upon. in the dark
Framedragger: five back-and-forth messages, hmh. also "For privacy reasons, dropping the connection or aborting during the authentication process must not be allowed. " sounds stupid to me
Framedragger: (and lenovo published their own 'Lenovo LSE Windows Disabler Tool'). [sorry i'm sure this is in the logz - i'm behind on stuff..]
Framedragger: "a file called "wpbbin.exe" was placed in C:\windows\system32 and executed. That turns out to be a method Microsoft introduced with Windows 8 to allow the BIOS to execute code on boot up (!?!) called "Windows Platform Binary Table (WPBT)"." gotta love M$
Framedragger: "More worrisome part of the feature is that it injects software that updates drivers, firmware, and other pre-installed apps onto Windows machine – even if you wiped the system clean." LOL
Framedragger: (still not sure if that rootkit is basically same as superfish. the latter is just in software as i take it; the former is a lenovo superduper software update solution which can download the latter(?) and resides in BIOS which is scary)
Framedragger: asciilifeform: oh no this is sth else - thanks!
Framedragger: asciilifeform: heh. i think i recall. pity i didn't properly *read* about it. guess time to corebios the fuck out of that laptop anyway
Framedragger: asciilifeform: you don't mean anything in cpu microcode but rather in bios? plox to enlighten uneducated naive mind
Framedragger: trinque: it's a small LED which shines down upon the most awesome thinkpad keyboard before lenovo ruined (fuck chiclet)
Framedragger: the prime point of my conviction regarding shadiness comes from the fact that X220 has a legit hax0r backlight at top of monitor.
Framedragger: ("truly shady" except for, you know, the whole shitty stack incl cpu, dma etc)
Framedragger: tbh i wouldn't expect anything truly shady out of x220. i just didn't try any switches yet
Framedragger: asciilifeform: i don't know how it works internally in x220. if i wanted to make sure to not have wifi, i'd remove / physically disconnect the controller, of course..
Framedragger: also iirc x220's come with either intel or realtek wifi adapters. mine is intel
Framedragger: i suspect it wouldn't be optimal in my case. i want ticket tags and stuff. dependency graph is of course nice.
Framedragger: adlai: i've looked at it and i like it. i haven't used it!
Framedragger: (man, i am in dire need of multi-tier TODO lists (sorted by urgency and other things). my TODO text file is a mess.)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: lol. maybe they accept alternative "patriot dividends" as asset
Framedragger: true. *unless you have both* (so you have ceiling on time). but at that point... yeah ok, cronjob is easier and better, heh.
Framedragger: maybe it's just a matter of having cronjob hit server in intervals which are smaller than cache expiry time.
Framedragger: i don't know if it's better, but yeah a cronjob would indeed work. *however*, you then may not get around those exceptional cases where client requests page which is still processing from cronjob request - and cache already expired. unless you set it to be tightly timed i guess?
Framedragger:
http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20161018/#23 << it is a pity that nginx caching mechanism does not support stale-while-revalidate - which is: if client requests page which hasn't expired in cache, serve from cache; if expired in cache, serve (the stale version) from cache, and update *in the background*. this is RFC 5861. apparently supported in newer varnish tho.
Framedragger: mats: since i guess you're following news more than me, i'm curious if you know anything about how the kurds in northern syria are doing, assuming anything new in the last couple of months? (not really following news there but just curious)
Framedragger: sounds..energetically efficient? dat protein. also cholesterol? :)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: no fair enough, i mean that's the plan! and i wouldnt do that before doing this other more important stuff first. :)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: no. i know it's still there, and i know it's been a long time. it's in my plan. maybe even this weekend, if i can make time. i'll ping you. apologies for rapid slow-down of productivity with regards to #trilema :)
Framedragger: hahaha. well, fair enough, can't see why that couldn't have been the case. but if so, even more hilarious!
