diana_coman: that's pretty much what it instantly made me think of: those bread-queues running around 3 blocks of flats up and down the whole neighbourhood; except I was miserable then even playing while waiting in the queue and I doubt any of those in there was NOT miserable
a111: Logged on 2017-11-19 05:19 lobbes: Currently going down the headless-browser path ben_vulpes suggested. Looking into phantomjs atm, which seems like it could do the job. I have an old craptop I'm thinking of using as the proverbial 'public toilet' to house it on. (This is the same craptop I was planning to put a trb node on. I put a spanking-new ssd in there but then realized that the ethernet dun work anymore; wifi only. May be a good use for the thing to just be a turd server in
asciilifeform: when i pull disk out of binder to install os, already pick the 1 where wrote down the type of cpu for which it was, neh
Mocky: whole world stops whenever input data syncing trips over a network slow down
danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-22#1919170 << i was waiting for them to get it working, as i irc from the pizarro shared host, and it was down for a day ☝︎

mircea_popescu: ow i'm riding scaled down text.
mircea_popescu: poker is still A thing today ; the problem with it is that wherever you sit down you're gonna run into a buncha pete d's and tired old con men.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-13 15:24 asciilifeform: speaking of which, reportedly huawei's lappy div (supposedly - closing down) made several genuinely linuxable (vs. 'ubuntable') boxen.
mircea_popescu: i guess the logical summation of this would be that we all sit down and make a pact
mircea_popescu: (ethereum people are really 100% about bitcoin, kinda like how us-based, nominally "protestant" supposedly independent "churches" are 100% about catholicism ; or us-based "nigger hating" / "taking down the zog machine jew by jew by jew" "white power" groups are 100% about please fuck my wife now, she's ovulating. it's the us thing, don't ask me to explain it.)
mircea_popescu: anyways, i was entertaining vague "why not buy a few acres of orchard somewhere, plant down a haremhous". but i'm now thoroughly disabused of a notion
asciilifeform: speaking of which, reportedly huawei's lappy div (supposedly - closing down) made several genuinely linuxable (vs. 'ubuntable') boxen. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-05-13 18:27 lobbes: I may indeed take some time in the next months to make a trip down there at least. If anything to clear my head and sort some things out (plus, I've never met another Republican in the meat, so there is also that plus)
diana_coman: what can I say; fwiw on one hand entrance exam at my uni was already getting seriously watered down and onth in 500 students/ year (minimum), I have former colleagues that are happily microshitting now as they were then
mircea_popescu: "oh, we're making so much money now [burning down the oilfields]". lasted for what, ten-fifteen years, now it's fucking dead.
mircea_popescu: https://www.sosgame.com/ << other sduch lulz. "We are saddened to share that SOS and SOS: Classic has been permanently shut down. However you can use this website to play free Slot Games and win $25 per day by simply spending time on this website.

mircea_popescu: !!down stjohn_piano_2
asciilifeform: in the didactic tape of ch18, i used strictly a single primorial litmus, with strictly 1st n primes that sit down in given width. but this is solely for simplicity of demo.
asciilifeform: the other 'seekrit of the dark arts' is that on recent (~decade) of x86 irons, the gap b/w cpu an' ram clock is such that if you have sim that sits down in l0 cache, the speed penalty may well be effectively 0
mircea_popescu: and #2, this isn't somewhere for you to upload your autism. nobody gives a flying fuck about a marginally functional aspie and his worldview. start doing something useful so i don't have to send you down the chute ; stop picking at your bellybutton lint in any fucking case.
asciilifeform: this way mircea_popescu & diana_coman dun need to rebuild boxes and suffer down times
a111: Logged on 2014-11-16 05:31 mircea_popescu: The brilliant Finnish-Canadian computer science professor / blogger Ilkka Kokkarinen has taken down his popular blog, presumably to keep his job after his campus newspaper noticed his heterodox views. His skepticism about the intellectual consistency of lesbian-feminist theory and practice would appear to have been his biggest crime.
asciilifeform: they're soldered-down 2core + 4GB ram thing.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Do you have a clearer idea of when your next trip down to the land of Dairy, Pizza, and girl-looking girls is going to take place?
mircea_popescu: this ~last type~ is perhaps amenable to treatment. because if you give the kid-thats-a-blur something to fix him the fuck down for five minutes he might have the breather to figure out which way the shoes go on ; and if you don't... well, esp at that age, it's perfectly possible the brain window closes, and he never the fuck will. because this is how the brain works, either learn language by ~5 or forget about LANGUAGE. al
asciilifeform: imho this kinda thing would be a a+++ application for a 'bake disposable similated linux box with simulated disk etc in <1s and tear down to 0' item. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-07-25 02:45 mod6: So the 0.03542985 includes the price of the physical box, and a charge for rack space. we broke this down into a daily cost, then multiplied it by 19, as we figured this out on the 12th.
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-03#1916881 << Sure. Became common knowledge in the US during the 90's before fading out of sight again. Just another point supporting the ~25-35 year culture lag down here. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: In the interest of simplifying things and because you are Mircea Popescu, I am inclined to kick the total down to 0.85 split it over two invoices of 0.425 for each of the two machines and have them both run through June 1st 2020 offering a small percentage discount and roughly a month and a half of time on the production box free.
mircea_popescu: and of fucking course it's coming down a trickle pipe, so it was a 10 hour download when it started, half hour ago, then moved to 15 hours as i started ranting, and by now it's claiming to be done in 35 hours.
asciilifeform: hrm, feedbot down ?
a111: Logged on 2015-05-19 00:48 justJanne: Every. Single. Time. A governmentally owned institution got sold to a US investor they either closed down 2 days later, became shit, or just expensive.
mp_en_viaje: they're also not counting my dick going down their throat.
BingoBoingo: In wankers "nuclear capacity operating in advanced economies would decline by two-thirds by 2040, from about 280GW in 2018 down to just over 90GW in 2040" << If the capacity is declining, they aren't "advanced economies" unless "advanced" means Africanizing
asciilifeform: granted i cannot say how he ought to have decided on concrete number 'down below which not mutable.' he would've had to 'guts' . ☝︎
asciilifeform: can point to ~concrete~ braindamages of orig author that resulted in the sad db. one was the expectation that tx 'down to genesis' are mutable 4evah; the other, the idea that 'utxo set' is what matters to fetch quickly, rather than ~any~ tx
BingoBoingo: But you have to shut the daemon down cleanly for blockindex.dat to be portable
BingoBoingo: <nocredit> and last: if i tar gz everything synced as far as now on the VPS and dump it at my premise, i'll be able to restart at block height 300k in the future? << As long as you cleanly shut down the daemon before dumping
mp_en_viaje: while walking down the street, walk up to someone coming the other way and suddenly slap them hard. some will cry, some will yell.
asciilifeform falls down
trinque: I'll implement this, and also see about a proper handler-case for shutting down gracefully and restarting
asciilifeform: trinque: deedbot down?
mp_en_viaje: to widen the base you must water down the product, which exposes you downstream to the reversion problem -- even what appeared a bona fide revolution in the 90s could in fact be undone by the cunt process ;
asciilifeform: aa in this context 'market' as an artificial object, of civilized life, like 'plumbing', vs. merely the set of all possible interactions (incl. 'dumping', burning down competitor, etc. ) ?
a111: Logged on 2019-05-17 17:22 asciilifeform: 'Roll the five dice ten times on a flat, even surface, writing down...'
BingoBoingo: But if you are mining LinkedIn et al for jobs, it probably wouldn't hurt to look down here.
whaack: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-13#1913067 << I am considering making a trip down to Uruguay some time in October. By that time I should have some fiat saved up to live frugally for a ~year, and I'll be done with current work/family obligations. ☝︎
asciilifeform: 'Roll the five dice ten times on a flat, even surface, writing down...' ☟︎
asciilifeform: stjohn_piano_2: there's a potential down-side tho, of this method -- addr that has never transacted is shielded by the hash (i.e. the pubkey is not available to third party yet) as well as the ecc mechanism; one that has transacted , is only shielded by the latter
asciilifeform: in usa, 'future of policing' is prolly http://btcbase.org/log/2015-03-26#1072977 ; in usg periphery like nz, i expect soon enuff they'll just drop 500kg bomb from air and write down 'today neutralized terrorist compound' etc ☝︎
asciilifeform: it's merely tip of a stupidity iceberg that goes all the way down to fucking cthulhu at bottom of the sea
mp_en_viaje: in other ancient lulzies, http://washington.cbslocal.com/2012/05/14/tsa-agents-conduct-full-monty-pat-down-on-henry-kissinger/
BingoBoingo: PeterL: I'm not opposed to the idea, but it took dropping the one auction down to 500 USD before it started drawing regular bidding action. Before then I was starting auctions one after another before one would get a bid. Also if an exchange rate auction over 500 USD and pay the datacenter auction over 2835 US vary by too much that gets messy.
mp_en_viaje: speaking of which, there's a very cute old dog a few houses down. he has a friend who lives on the property, inside the fence ; but he lives outside, in this one perma-dry spot under a tree.
BingoBoingo: We've got a bit of that too here on the metal roll down gates in the main drags.
asciilifeform: when and where no lord to round up the culprits an' pour molten lead down their throats, this kinda thing is as inevitable as sawdust bread, i suspect
asciilifeform: 'giant' dun ever stop looking for new, yet-unbroken chairs to sit down in, eh
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> luzliest thing in latam, all sorta mini-super << I believe the sight that most excited ben_vulpes down here was "Supermercado Winn-Dixie"
lobbes: I may indeed take some time in the next months to make a trip down there at least. If anything to clear my head and sort some things out (plus, I've never met another Republican in the meat, so there is also that plus) ☟︎
mp_en_viaje: anyway, to me it was very amusing because, on one hand, "hey nicoleci , where in chicago do i hire lawyer like this" and on the other hand, HOLY SHIT, it's not just computer programmer who goes to turn down volume and is there for two days rewriting the os.
mp_en_viaje: anyway, it comes down to very entrenched management ineptitude. guy wants to do what he wants to do not what he must do, has complicated, patiently constructed over time (through selection, much like how species appear) list of explanations/justifications.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-13 03:49 asciilifeform: arguably it comes down to a stupid choice of profession. the software pseudo-industry only really exists in the reich + its tendrils, afaik.

asciilifeform: these won't win any speed records, but i like'em, they go years b/w downtimes no prob ( i take'em down strictly to clean fans )
asciilifeform: 'for sale : 3 bricks from a conquistador fort that burned down in 1500s. 200k usd.' etc
BingoBoingo: So the sun went down, temperature dropped to 16C/60F and... Once again smog
BingoBoingo: "You set up a decent website? Better make sure its in a foreign land and one which isn't subject to US/EU powers. Better avoid using major payment processors because they will shut you down whilst you're at it." << Fuck You I'm already in Uruguay
asciilifeform: for comparison : asciilifeform pays 100 / mo for 100 (up/down)
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, is that what broke down comms then ?
diana_coman: and I'm quite sure it also ignores them down the line anyway i.e. whatever you tick or not tick, it still does the same thing
mp_en_viaje: i'm not even sure i could ever get to writing down a list so complete as to have that sorta nothing figure on its own merits on it.
lobbes_field: As for extending, it seems that the bot went down with 12 hours left, so I could easily extend it another 12
BingoBoingo: When I came down here business class was at least twice as expensive as economy.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: While you plan your next run down here make sure to re-review Copa's baggage policies. They seem to be shifting as these things do. http://archive.is/mU9FX
BingoBoingo: They keep saying they don't want to go down the Venezuela road while dragging everyone down the Venezuela road
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-06#1911356 << i seem to recall that this was when the log www regularly fell down... ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: absent the two... why, you can lick the walls for decades, go on pixel clicking hunts until you break down your mouse.

lobbes_field: Bit as a practical start, I may just sit down and read some of the existing items out there (cl-who) and then eventually freeze/gebesis
asciilifeform: down?!
whaack: but more's the point : and your hedonism actually kept you away from internets for the interval ?! << it certainly reduced it drastically. but i've been around, reading the logs etc. I would of course love to have done that, but I also feel a duty to keep the SNR down in this channel as i fix a lot of my shortcomings.
asciilifeform: and 'tutoring halls' run by 'assoc for women in kompyooting' ( to help 'diversity' , i.e. folx who can't pass the (massively watered down in past 2 decades ) curriculum
mircea_popescu: nfi what it's supposed t omean, but down with maduro.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-02#1910603 << confirmed, fell down. hey trinque , iirc you know where to find ben_vulpes, wake'im up plox ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: diana_coman provoked me to think : until arm64 gnat is fixed ( and we dun know when this will be! cuz ave1 is MIA ! ) it does not make sense to expand the rk pilot plant . do we want instead to fill the next crate entirely with amd ? let's make a decision on this in the near term, so that we can put down a definite date re next buildout
BingoBoingo: Well, scratching the dirt with hand tools isn't uncommon down here.
asciilifeform: in unrelated noose, asciilifeform when found http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-22#1909217 took half hr to compile an' leave it churning on a dev board. in week+ nao, did not fall down. which means possibly worth reading and genesising when asciilifeform or someone else has free hand. ☝︎

BingoBoingo: Then there's the decades the Colonel had getting comfortable because the thought Europe wanted him to keep Africa in Africa. Maduro's always had the US beast bearing down on him, entire regime has had to be kept on a war footing.
BingoBoingo: It's the argentine thing where the bottom 2/3 of the population in Vzla is incapable of disagreement. Evil yankees keeping us down... etc.
mp_en_viaje: not even for prototyping, they had some inhouse thing i could never pin down
mp_en_viaje: ima have to sit down and read these sometime.
billymg: i tracked it down to my server's version of php not being built with the gd library for image processing, so when an image was uploaded it wasn't able to produce the alternate sizes, and so the options to select those sizes were disabled
