BingoBoingo: asciilifeform> when you plug a lamp into a mains socket, is
that also a 'streaming query' ? << For some kinds of lamp sure.
trinque: vs say asking "hm, at
this point in
time are
there electrons moving in
this wire?" *plug* "Yes." *unplug*
trinque: asciilifeform: yes,
the power has been declared
to be,
then
the lamp may make use of
that fact as it does
trinque: there's
this idea of streaming queries
that's been kicked around a bit
trinque: I was
thinking my love of relational databases (view composition, etc) would map
to
that model pretty well
trinque: -or- when
the hell do I get a dataflowputer
punkman: but also it died
the other day, and no warranty
trinque: asciilifeform: nah,
tis but
the rambling of an addict who will never find his fix
trinque: and
that is decidedly not anything lenovo's squeezed out recently
trinque: that said fuck
that shit; I'm sure
there's an easier machine
to deal with
trinque: I still have
the kernel config somewheres
trinque: asciilifeform: I once finished gentoo quest on a
two-generations-back macbook pro
ben_vulpes: punkman: using addnode=
to add a node from which
to pull
the blocks
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Nah, hand listed at least for now. Over
the next month or
two will work on making categories more useful for browsing since mike_c wanted it so
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [] a) what chicks and b) what pay. << i can speak
to
the chicks
ben_vulpes: oh, d'ja hack
the whoopies BingoBoingo?
ben_vulpes: phillipsjk: what does bootstrap.dat have
to do with anything?
phillipsjk: I don't
think 0.5.3 supports bootstrap.dat, but I could be wrong.
punkman: I setup a 0.5.3.1 node yesterday, stuck on 168000
today
assbot: Argentina's president Cristina Kirchner attacked for 'racist' Chinese joke | World news |
The Guardian ... (

ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> chick's so drastically ugly
tho... << pretty indicative of
the
tail
to which us brass has access
mod6: anyway,
thanks guise.
mod6: think
that's
the one
to check?
mod6: during debugging, i did see something
that mentioned "blk%04d.dat" when looking at
the
txout.scriptPubKey vector:
http://dpaste.com/1E4QQ9A mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes have a logwatcher
trigger ? renice everyything ?
mircea_popescu: there should also be a bdb based method but it probably would
take longer
to untangle
mircea_popescu: if
the worst comes
to worst diff blk00x.dat pre and post
ben_vulpes: instead, instruct me on
the arcane art of dumping specific blocks from a bitcoind 0.5.3
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: your lessons come
too late, sir!
ben_vulpes: while it must surprise everyone here,
the fact
that i am a process man who's only barely grasped
the basics of *nix operation bears
trotting out on a *regular* basis apparently
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i'll have
to compile it meself, apparently.
mircea_popescu: but no one else ever ehard of
this, and so we wish
to see his block
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
the idea with
the native cruftery is, he found a reliable way
to wedge
the bitcoind at a certain heright which just so happens
to be
the checkpoint
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i did burn in excess of
two days attempting
to get either a firefox or chrome
to connect
to x under os x
mircea_popescu: a damned sight more optimistic
than you,
this pessimist
mircea_popescu: g when
their decks are awash. It is only
that
the other element in man,
the lazy, cowardly, debt-bilking adulterer who is inside all of us, can never be suppressed altogether and needs a hearing occasionally."
mircea_popescu: sentiments make no appeal. Nevertheless
the high sentiments always win in
the end, leaders who offer blood,
toil,
tears and sweat always get more out of
their followers
than
those who offer safety and a good
time. When it comes
to
the pinch, human beings are heroic. Women face childbed and
the scrubbing brush, revolutionaries keep
their mouths shut in
the
torture chamber, battleships go down with
their guns still firin
mircea_popescu: here asciilifeform : "I never read
the proclamations of generals before battle,
the speeches of Führers and prime ministers,
the solidarity songs of public schools and left-wing political parties, national anthems,
Temperance
tracts, papal encyclicals and sermons against gambling and contraception, without seeming
to hear in
the background a chorus of raspberries from all
the millions of common men
to whom
these high
mod6: i'll carry on
tomorrow. im like X_X at
this point.
ben_vulpes: why would one bother with
the native cruftery?
mod6: i've basically run and break when nBestHeight=167999 and
then go from
there, but not
turning anything meaningful up yet. however, i'm sure i'm not sure how
to dig into
these vectors properly yet.
ben_vulpes: i'm using sbcl for stump, now
that we mention it
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: sbcl runs entirely without problem on mac os << so as
to say "why bother with gentoo?"?
ben_vulpes: myeah, but i
think i missed a leap in your reasoning.
ben_vulpes: is
the point
to run sbcl on "strange iron"?
ben_vulpes: what do you mean by "strange iron",
though?
ben_vulpes: i'm entirely naive
to quirks of
the underlying chips.
ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel: for a gentoo like what you describe, i'd go
through
the headaches of dual booting.
ben_vulpes: but
that which gabriel_laddel described was a damned siren song for a boy who grew up on os x.
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: I'm currently counting lines of algol and fixing up
the dashboard
ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel: i yet yearn for
the day i dual boot os x and a lispy gentoo
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: lol.
The idea of a closure doesn't need
to be stretched out across several chapters, but e.g.,
the cl-ppcre chapter is good for
the non-lisper
to read.
mircea_popescu: an'
tbh it wasn't much more
than a passing remark anyway, so we've made more of it
than its frail back can carry
gabriel_laddel: regarding
the preceding discussion on asm, common lisp vs. julia vs. C,
the book Let over Lambda is quite good and discusses
these and related issues in-depth.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the original point wasn't
that
there don't exist profilers, but
that it's rare for a language
to put
the bytecode in
the programmer's face, and especially for a new and (at least in my perception) hip one.
