mircea_popescu: i'd rather not grandfather
the current bitcoin wallet approach,
time-tested as it might be. but
this problem will recur (no later
than "wut do wallet" in any case). so...
mircea_popescu: this leaves open
the "wut do about
that encryption key".
mircea_popescu: ad interim
the draft is,
that
the client stores all
the keys (rsa, serpent, whatever) one per line,
the rsa ones in republican format,
the rest unspecified as of yet, in a file called keys.tmsr encrypted by
the rsa key of
the client.
mircea_popescu: this is a matter of best practices
that's by its nature a republican standard candidate, so i'd very much like
to hear
the esteemed lordship.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in other news : i'm not entirely current here, but diana_coman does seem
to have neatly resolved
the ada-cpp linking conundrums. going on which
theory,
the next step we're upon is what
to do with
the keys.
mircea_popescu: spyked feedbot additions process usually goes
the other way ; but in
this case sure.
spyked: and in other
tasks in my queue, I propose adding billymg and mod6's blogs
to feedbot (I'll do
that
tomorrow if
there are no objections)
a111: Logged on 2019-01-05 14:30 mircea_popescu: spyked is evidently
trying, hence feedbot, but evidently having
trouble reconciling saeculum, which i'm going
to let stand as such on
the grounds
that he's new -- even
though experience shows
that as a dubious idea [for all
the eg one could possibly need witness how asciilifeform 's still in
the swamp, so many years later].
spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-05#1884617 <-- ftr, I agree 100% with
this assessment.
the last 4 months (at least) of my life have been a rollercoaster, and I'm just beginning
to settle down into an arrangement where I can set goals without getting preempted at every corner. my current goal is
to have a schedule posted by
the end of
the month, in
the same style as

The Pizarro has rebooted,
this was first noticed by mod6. A quick
trip
to
the datacenter showed both power supplies were had
their happy green lights lit,
the ambient air was conditioned with cool everywhere outside
the hot aisle, and
the server's chassis was not particularly warm. attn: asciilifeform
mod6: The Foundation's colocated box
there is not impacted --
this seems
to be isolated
to a problem with UY1 in particular.
mod6: Specifically, UY1 -
the shared hosting environment.

BingoBoingo: American Apparel was built by
taking coeds. Amazon was built on retiree RV cities seasonally wintering at
their distribution centers
BingoBoingo: And Amazon was built by boldly
taking coeds

told ro bezos "Si, draga Varanule, nu-i clar ca mai ai cinci ani" ie, "dear reptile, it's not clear you have five years left" in 2012 -- by 2014 he was in jail. because hey, mp is right now and again accidentally which is
to say 1024/1024 occurences on his blog etc etc)
a111: Logged on 2019-01-11 17:48 asciilifeform: ( re 'how many witnesses', see diana_coman's article, it reviews
the necessary maffs, i.e. P(yer prime aint a prime and you die) == (1/4)^n, where n is # of witness )
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I know, no worries at all! onth I'm not going
to *sit* stuck, no - digging at it
diana_coman: so
that'd be at least
the "encapsulated" part explained
☟︎ diana_coman: so far I can
tell
that
the static lib has
the huge disadvantage
that one needs
then
to link with it everything but
the kitchen sink
to bring in all it needs from ada runtime
a111: Logged on 2019-01-11 16:49 asciilifeform: diana_coman: if you're utterly stumped, i can allocate some cycles
to
the problem
tomorrow -- with mircea_popescu's permission ( i swore
to him
that i will not embroil meself in matters euloric , recall )
Mocky: is
the number of witnesses
to be a knob or fixed?
diana_coman: because in
the docs it's claimed
that non-ada main should be with
the encapsulated-lib version, ugh
diana_coman: asciilifeform, yes, but is
the one generated for static lib
the same? or wtf is with
the encapsulated-shit
then?
diana_coman: but now I'm confused on whether *that* is enough or not (standalone
thingie claims it
takes care of everything needed for elaboration, correctly)
a111: Logged on 2019-01-09 14:14 diana_coman: my
trajectory in hitting walls on
this was precisely
that: make it static -> surprise, no adainit exported/included, checked
the .a file and everything, went nuts; make it dynamic -> ugh, need -lgnat and whatnot; rtfm again and again,
there is
this calo-magar
diana_coman: possibly; at
the end of
the day it's a choice and one can have gcd implemented one way or another, as long as
the choice made is clearly stated on
the
tin
diana_coman: well, because
technically gcd is never 0, right?
diana_coman: I suppose only in some silly situation such as "let's
take 2 numbers from user; compute gcd and
then proceed
to divide and print results"
diana_coman: other
than
that
the "reason" I can see is
that otherwise in principle you need an additional check each
time you call gcd (i.e.
to make sure you don't step even if once in a blue moon) on
this particular rake
diana_coman: myeah,
that's not in itself a reason
to not do it (if anything, it's
the opposite really, given
the usual "what everybody does"
