Naphex: which were paying
the girls on behalf of jasmin i
think
Naphex: also
there was some raid a month ago and basicly disbanded some wierd paxum companies
mircea_popescu: plsu bulgaria, ukraina, ex-yugoslavia, poland... prolly 5mn chicks all
told.
bitx: nope, no association with
them
mircea_popescu: Naphex a while back you could find more college chicks on webcams
than @uni in any given day.
fluffypony: bitx: no associate with
the South African exchange, eh?
williamdunne: fluffypony:
The groupies have hairier necks
too
williamdunne: bitx: Ah okay, I assumed you were from one of
the bitx companies
bitx: williamdunne, don't usually use
this name - not associated with any other bitx's
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I
think he doesn't like me calling him "Pedobear Pierce" on Disqus
williamdunne: bitx, which bitx are you from?
There are like
three/four of
them
Naphex: williamdunne: yeah, and most of
the advertising and promo starts in june
to match with some conference. so why rush it
williamdunne: Naphex: Ah yeah! Its always
the last
tweaks
that
take 2/3rds your
time
Naphex: williamdunne: pretty good. been doing lots of working and on
the last mile for xotika
williamdunne: Naphex: Good
thanks, hows stuff been your end?
fluffypony: btw for any b-a'ers in Europe I'm going
to be
there for
the next month, would love
to meet up, or you could come
to one of
the Monero meetups I'll be presenting at (Brussels on May 19th, Paris on May 21st, Berlin on May 24th) or else I'll be presenting at Bitcoinference in Amsterdam on May 30/31
☟︎ Naphex: mircea_popescu: great! getting ready for launch on
the last run. been busy as hell. how was
the conference? sorry i couldn't make it :/
williamdunne: Long
time no speak, keep meaning
to go on mumble..
hanbot: happy
travels ben_vulpes
trinque: bon voyage, see ya in
the asylum
hanbot: trinque yup. plenty of places online i have
the distinct feeling of waving my hands around in front of
the auto paper
towel dispenser,
to no avail, spits an ungrippable corner now and
then...so -futuristic-.
mircea_popescu: in retrospect, i suspect my above comments were more a reflection of my personal disinclination
to put anything into cms/blog platforms. seeing how
trilema already exists.
trinque: indeed, for many sites it's exactly
the right way
trinque: yes and paper should be printed right as you are
turning
the page
trinque: "but
this is how we've always done it!"
trinque: that most web framework
things expect
to regenerate each page every
time is insane
trinque: I
tend
to prefer static sites where
they can be had
williamdunne well personally I'm going
to go back
to my charcoal and cave wall
fluffypony wouldn't
touch WordPress with a bargepole
hanbot: i see. well, at least
this is an argument against
the
thing itself rather
than its possible outcomes.
mircea_popescu: it was born essentially as
the first bezzle
thing, "we'll make you a Content Management System"
to justify X agency spending more on a website
than it's worth.
mircea_popescu: cms-ing moar generally. ben_vulpes prolly has
the right idea.
mircea_popescu: nah, just,
this particular
thing is kinda derpy
to begin with. who cares special stones
to
throw at dogs ?
hanbot: so what,
that which can be frankensteined into working doesn't deserve
to be made as a whole, from
the start?
mircea_popescu: hanbot honestly it's kinda not worth
the effort. a wp 2.x can be hacked into enough blog platform for what one could conceivably need.
hanbot: williamdunne> BingoBoingo: Considered it, could just create my own blogging platform but
thats probably more effort
than its worth. Only got like 3.5k views in
the week << it's either worth
the effort or not on its own merits, effects have no place in
the consideration
there, eh?
mircea_popescu: somehow
the idiots have lost all humility, and have absolutely no conception
that yes indeed, in most situations going on your knees and begging is
the correct response.
trinque: fluffypony | "Why computing's male domination will be its downfall" << now
the real reason for
the forced feminization of
Turing
took place; moar women in
tech!
mircea_popescu: anyway. bitcoin's elitism and
the horde's pretentiousness is setting
the stage for some pretty hardcore raping and pillaging down
the road.
mircea_popescu: o srsly, you swear never
to get involved with boys because
they're mean ?
that's nice honey.
fluffypony: so looking forward
to everyone abandoning computers for
the abacus and
typewriters
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: Considered it, could just create my own blogging platform but
thats probably more effort
than its worth. Only got like 3.5k views in
the week
fluffypony: I still have nightmares about
the rabbit of Caerbannog
williamdunne: Emperor Pilate is one of
the handles I use online
hanbot: so here's one: fiverr localized
to arg has a welcome pic of a pretty woman singing in a mic. override
to english? neotenous hipster kid, srsly looks like an 11 year old in
thickrimmed glasses.

thestringpuller: yup. learning requires lessons which each have
their various costs.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller dude, listen up. i'm not going
to whack you, but you gotta learn
to underpromise and overdeliver.
assbot: You rated user
thestringpuller on 01-Feb-2014, with a rating of 1, and supplied
these additional notes: I dunno
that he's ever pulled any strings..
williamdunne: At
the forefront of "the blockchain of
things" lo
mircea_popescu: this is going
to be such a sad year for "web startups"...
trinque: afaik
they use a lot of mysql among myriad other
things
trinque: williamdunne: yeah
that's more acceptable
williamdunne: Like it could be done via a separate system like facebook uses which uses a queue
to commit
to DB, but can be received before committed
to
the DB
williamdunne: trinque: Either way, it anything high volume like
that can be done in interesting ways
trinque: code gets littered with message v1 v2 v3 handling code, and you become less and less able
to reason about
the concept "message"
trinque: sure, everyone always
thinks
they can handle reimplementing
the database until complexity grows
to a point where it falls inward on itself
trinque: otherwise
that ends up being implemented in shitty form in
the app layer
trinque: your data storing
thing should be aware of structure
☟︎ trinque: nosql is a
terrible idea man, always
williamdunne: Exactly, so we could shard
the database a stupid amount, and stick half of it in NoSQL for
things like private messages
trinque: postgresql is a badder beast
than most
think
williamdunne: Can't imagine it would be all
that write-heavy
trinque: seems like a social
thing calls for a message queue
williamdunne: Surely all of
the heavy-writing would just be in
the form of files
williamdunne: I don't have any statistics about performance but I've found it works pretty well. I've only done basic clustering before using it
tbh, doing
things like sharing secrets for authentication
trinque: mircea_popescu: replication at
the db layer is what's called for
there
mircea_popescu: the other is
that well, we don't know how efficient it is. ie, how much bw/packetage/userbase it can support per mm of hardware.
williamdunne: trinque: Well
thats a lie, I normally do if working in Elixir/Phoenix
mircea_popescu: there's
two problems here. one being
that if nobody has windows servers nobody can, in an emergency say, provie a backup.
