BingoBoingo: n00b stockpicker me from freshman year of college really should have held
those Sun shares
through
to
the buyout instead of playing
the hi-lo game
BingoBoingo: Dis-Able was first born. Disable spend many years in
the shadows ruining sound and making daemon no one wanted. Pain came into
the world with a bang out of Africa, promised ease at
the cost of nothing working as expectabru.
Two years ago
they each decided
to play
the other's part and now systemd is loud while ubuntu silent becomes
the quiet daemon
that breaks apps in
the background.
mircea_popescu: there still is no substitute for homework. "socializing" not only fails
to substitute, but actually has serious counterindications.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> in other words : i have nfi why we care so much about systemd, in fact linux has been fucked over for years now, by completely unrelated crapolade like ubunbtu. << It's a
twin story. Pain and Dis-Able
mircea_popescu: whaack do yourselv a favour and read
the logs for an actual result, rather
than !imperative all over
the place and a) not get anything except for b) marking yourself for
termination.
BingoBoingo: whaack: I had
to chop mine up
these past few days. It's C++ you search
the
text and nuke shit
that you dun like.
whaack: how many people in here have read
the bitcoin core code? would anyone here consider
to know it well?
mircea_popescu: and of course once
that crashes it brings down
the networking stack, which on ubuntu can NOT actually be restarted, mostly because it fucks up dbus and everything else.
mike_c: "The site broke new ground for security in
the space, integrating Yubikey and Google Authenticator"
kakobrekla: >
They were called Virtual Currencies, now many prefer
to call
them Digital Currency or Crypto Currency.
mike_c: floated around 0045 for a long
time
mircea_popescu: in other news, firefox spontaneously combusts unattended on a 4 day old system. and
they call
this software.
mircea_popescu: so using your numbers...
they're actually unimportant.
mircea_popescu: but
the spikes are never 100x
the averae
traffic. usually 10-15x
mike_c: those qntra spikes are important
though. 1% of
the flash
traffic sticks around and becomes regular reader
BingoBoingo: punkman: if we replace openssl with libressl or whatever, how do we verify all
the buggy data generated by 7 different openssl versions? << For
the
time being... empirically.
There a set with six year's worth a data
to
test against by syncing.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "4. if you have
the intellectual and physical capacity
to single-handedly deal with your program, it's a
toy " <<< sheeit alf, what nao ?
mircea_popescu: exactly like how
the rifles used
to fight actual wars are nothing like
the crazy-shit-stick-on-all-sides "amateur" rifles.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform minor nitpick : all
these people
that never ever head foreman'd a construction yard shjould stfu about "tools".
the
tools used
to build a skyscraper are, by and large, cheaper, more worn versions of
the expensive DIY crap.
mircea_popescu: absolutely perfect example of
the pseudoscientific nature of American "science".
cazalla: feb is on
track
to be another record month
mircea_popescu: at
this point i'm not even sure gavin jumping off
the coq d'argent would qualify as bitcoin news.
mircea_popescu: qntra is about news, you're
thinking more in
terms of daytime
tv drama.
thestringpuller: can't wait
to read on qntra one day: "Gavin Admits
to Being USG Agent, Leaves Bitcoin Forever"
mircea_popescu: lol so yest someone hit
trilema in what originally looked like a ddos, except... single ip ? ~1mn pageloads ?
mircea_popescu: not
that i disagree with
the principle of making people verbalize
the stuff
they're abotu
to do.
mircea_popescu: listen, everything in a program is explicit. whethr
the user is aware or not of
this...
mircea_popescu: i suspect
ti's a case very close
to
the ida situation asciilifeform was deploring last week
mircea_popescu: this is not
the correct approach. make bitcoin,
then let everyone make
their own guis.
Adlai: it's funny/sad how parenting reverses over
time
mircea_popescu: the part
that actually is your place, is done. welcome
to parenting!
Adlai: well i imagine
that when it happens, nobody will be able
to not get it, because it'll happen rather happeningly
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: it's a possibility
though, right? << yeah, but from all i've seen it's a very remote one.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: is
there any evidence
to suggest
that << nope.
mircea_popescu: Adlai: good dad, just keep walking down
this road! << a winner is you, srsly.
mircea_popescu: mod6: it'd be awesome because
then derps would give up and go and play with hula-hoops <<
technically speaking
this is what's happening already.
danielpbarron: i don't
think i've ever actually used
the qt client
mircea_popescu: if you
think about it, riding on qt "for
the gui" is not so different from riding on
the browser.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there's conceptually by far more 'boost'
than straight cpp in
there. << i for one am
thankful it's not mostly javascript.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i was wondering what was up with all
the for loops
trying
to be python-like
thestringpuller: mike_c: I don't know how one would do Reingold-Tilford
that has multiple dependencies
danielpbarron: wtf
the dude has bigger
tits
than
the hentai chick at
the
top of his page.. or is
that also supposed
to be a dude??
mike_c: it does seem
to work now
mike_c: you were in
the field.
mike_c: asciilifeform: did you see
the other day
that stemming got
turned off?
danielpbarron: i know a guy who lives just like
that; out of his car, refusing
to work for money but not against
taking handouts
mircea_popescu: was discussed here, forgot her name. untalented as all shit,
too;
mircea_popescu: in any case, i guess he never heard of whats-her-face,
the supposed cali "poet"
that did essentially
the same but in
the 70s, and died recently in abject poverty.
thestringpuller: mike_c:

This is what sheer number of L2 users creates.
Trying
to modify users force but with default settings as you said it loses sight of L2, but
that's cause sheer number of users in L2.
