asciilifeform: there ain't a latin | either.
mircea_popescu: the hallucination that * is well formed is a problem.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because * as a semantic notation is part of a class that goes a*.txt too.
mircea_popescu: IF * is meaningful, you're in a broken context.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because it's either a case of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-10#1711837 ie sanity or else if * is semantically meani8ngful you're in new jersey. ☝︎
asciilifeform: i start with a nonempty dir, and intend to end with an empty one
mircea_popescu: * is not a right motherfucking thing.
phf: the fact that you have to do this demonstrates a dozen of unix retardations. correct method could just be rm `find .|grep txt`, but this fails in a number of interesting ways
mod6: i'll hold off, but this is a good discussion of design goals.
mircea_popescu: so in a sense this is premature
mircea_popescu: it'd help if we first had a trb wallet model.
asciilifeform: mod6: idea is that you oughta be able to convert ALL known wallet.dat into a human-readable form AND BACK
asciilifeform: ( or, alternatively, a very long manual massage )
asciilifeform: 2-4 requires a disasmer
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-10#1711822 << well yes, ideally. but at some point ~everybody encounters a 'i have here ye olde .dat from 2011' etc ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( i did get the python bdb thing going, with some massage. but the result is unremarkable, takes ENTIRE SECOND to import a key )

spyked: eh. shell is by definition glue/tape macgyver. and "shell" is just a convenient extension of "unix", the same way 3 is a "conveniently chosen approximation" for pi.
mircea_popescu: spyked it's not elegant except in the sense that in the "dara ea-i mai mare muta, muci-i marg, din gura-i pute" world a washed face seems stylish and classy.
mircea_popescu: alternatively iirc xargs takes a param count limit, you keep re-running it
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-10#1711763 << yes, to fish out CHANGE addresses in trb you must FOLLOW txns trees to the unspent leaf. true pain in butt. << ah, good point. i'll make a note of these requests. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i guess THE LINUX WAY, inherited from the c way, inherited from new jersey is to go rm -rf a*.txt and so following.

a111: Logged on 2017-09-10 18:07 asciilifeform: ( not a single one of the boxes i have here now, will eat the 'deprecated' bdb lib for python, that the thing insists on )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: was making a 'is this privkey, generated in whatever external way, live' detector.
asciilifeform: i dun give a rat's arse re proprietary whatevers.
mircea_popescu: would actually be iunteresting, as a phuctor sort of thing. "here's the mempool pile"
asciilifeform: ( there was an item written by -- that very same -- znort987 ; but it dun work worth a shit ) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: it's basically a bdb dump of keys and txn, first part (but not 2nd) aesencrypted.
mod6: undump? like import a swath of privkeys ?
phf: hyperspec mandates it to be no less than 50, which basically means you can't rely on #'apply working on unbound lists in a portable way
phf: There is a large but finite limit on the size of an argment
phf: well, yes, unix. but my point since it wasn't obvious that it's not rm specific. it's a deep, inherent stupid
phf: there was a naggum rant on the subject, that he recompiles his kernels to make that variable as large as possible, because the behavior is stupid
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-10#1711748 << this is a kernel level limit on number of arguments you can pass through argv (documented in e.g. man execve). i think recent linux kernels actually have this work somewhat dynamically. ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: ^ anybody know of a proggy with similar functionality, that ACTUALLY RUNS ?
mod6: <+phf> the feature has been there for a while.. i really should document all the different flags that you can pass to message listing << aha. this would be great as I know the thing does a lot of things, i can just never remember what they are :]
shinohai: neat phf ... yeah a complete list would be handy

mircea_popescu: answer falls on a scale between "fuck you and your stupid ugly fucking urchins" in sane societies to "omg it must be right then!" in batshit insane societies
mircea_popescu: it's funny you can actually diagnose pantsuit rot in a society by how universal the "you know, for kids" nonsense is.
mircea_popescu: (everyone got ~5k credit if replaced old car. as a result ro car plant sold 1mn units of the 5k euro dacia things. NEW CARS!)
mircea_popescu: not a bad scam
BingoBoingo: It's a scam that buys radio airtime, and just spams the shit out of their shitty jingles.
BingoBoingo: All I know if Kars4Kids ads are a cancer
BingoBoingo: Oh do they. I though chairty watch just told you every so called charity was a scam and too keep all your jools4you
mircea_popescu: afaik it's a-ok "in chartiywatch's view" to ask for money to "help women" and then spend it on inflating idiot's egos instead.
BingoBoingo: In other lolz: "In CharityWatch’s view, the Kars4Kids ads deceive potential donors by failing to inform them that donated cars will benefit a Jewish organization and kids of Jewish faith. Furthermore, the youth programs Kars4Kids supports promote an Orthodox Jewish lifestyle, which CharityWatch believes compounds the deception perpetrated by the Kars4Kids ads. Oorah, Kars4Kids’ “sister charity,” is the organization that actually
BingoBoingo: Seriously though, I am in the midwest. Here the shit they should be putting on windows is closer to $40 and up for a full sheet
mod6: not a bad post, actually.

a111: Logged on 2017-09-09 04:40 BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> and yes, obviously this arrangement is a perfect match for the usg / its fiat-statist allies in south korea etcetera. because that's exactly what the socialist state proposition is, "we'll be bleeding for as long as we live and attempt to kill everyone before the air runs out". << But, bleeding is a feminist value!
mircea_popescu: they live in fargo, they go "mmm-hhhhmmmm", they shop at walmart where everyone=everyone=customer and so following. what do you mean nobody asked them anything and what is asking ? they've seen a filmusical once with susan sarandon and "that mobster guy" and it was all about stupid cunts. there's more ?
mircea_popescu: and before you laugh : this is EXACTLY what they are thinking, it's not a joke, it's a statement of fact. 1. everyone has "the human right" of being here in the first place, and being free of any "rape" such as being insufficient for anything, or in any way inadequate, including being untalented, obese, you name it. 2. from the indemnity againast any inconvenience or shortcoming (called "negativity" in-universe) it then follo
mod6: it has been a bit slow-going, but the last week or so, things are starting to click for me -- at least, a little bit. long way to go though. we'll see.
mod6: it serves multiple purposes; a more readable 'v' (perhaps even faster/better?), a project for me to gain proficiency in ada. etc.
mod6: got a long way to go yet, but got the wot part done lastnight.
asciilifeform: ( currently looking for a period .deb of it, to no avail )
asciilifeform: mno mod6 , not a year ago
mod6: this started about a hear ago where i think they just figured "if we don't ship with ssh, then they'll just go back to using rlogin"
asciilifeform: i presently have nfi how anyone considered or even today considers, e.g., ubuntu, to be a workstation os

pete_dushenski: "i even asked my nerdy cousin but he said he'd never seen the sun either, though he claimed that a wow-head buddy had years ago back when the sun was only a little tyke, but i can't be sure how accurate that account is"
pete_dushenski: "Bitcoin is not regulated. It cannot be regulated" << not a terrible conclusion either. the edges of usg.uni are starting to come around to the realities of the new world order in which they control everless and are left to "theorise" evermore

mircea_popescu: and since it's an orcland, the government actually had the audacity to make hiring ilegals A FELONY, while the local farmers can't find farm hands.

asciilifeform: 'I assumed that a company as well known as Coinbase must have phone support. So I googled “coinbase phone support” and a number popped up. I gave this number to Rita. It turns out that this number was a fraud. When Rita called it, a man identified himself as a Coinbase support rep and asked her to go to a special Coinbase support website where he had Rita enter her username, password, and the confirmation code texted to her phone
