asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: on rereading log - that jet engine heater - exists elsewhere ?!
mod6: maybe i can use this chdir thing
mod6: but apparently you have to be in the src dir to execute the `make -f makefile.unix` successfully.

mircea_popescu: o look at that, it's a cazalla!
BingoBoingo: The world does not merely exist in the present as people fretting about future memory exhaustion demonstrate.
Rozal: I use otc for small trades, and haven't had a single bad trade. I think I'll be alright
Rozal: Hmm, so your implying that it has effected my business
mike_c: i was not careful. question that will be potentially answered: was that the only thing bloating the memory as we stroll from block 150k to 300k.

BingoBoingo: Saying one's business is unaffected though is almost always a tacit admission one's business prospects have been affected.

asciilifeform: and (at least presently) the white kidz can't be placed just anywhere
asciilifeform: because you gotta put all those warm bodies somewhere
asciilifeform: but in practice there are 'grandfathered exceptions' etc
mike_c: so the "fix" was to limit the # of orphan blocks to 750. if that size is exceeded, delete random orphan block from the pool as long as it has no other orphans depending on it.
decimation: "like that, it works. but god help him if he did something like "tight housing for poor folks like you"" << most us cities have zoning rules specifically banning multiple occupants, multiple buildings, converting house to apartment, etc
BingoBoingo uses the traditional vitamin H, haloperidol as an example not pop culture Horse drug

mike_c: "Since 0.9.0 the number of orphan blocks that is stored has been restricted, so this immediate issue should be fixed."
asciilifeform: aside from the twirly-knobs
asciilifeform: decimation: with the disappearance of forced use of tape to push the requisite bit heaps, no longer any reason for dedicated 'video computer'
Rozal: No worries, I'm here to listen and participate. I used to trade assets in the btct days
decimation: just because one edits videos on a computer doesn't the same hardware must also be used to surf the web
BingoBoingo: For music there are dedicated machines. Just... when composing writing to staff paper analogue and playing back is a huge timesaver when getting the headmusic out.
decimation remembers editing video on 'video toaster'
decimation believes that a dedicated machine ought to handle both of those functions
asciilifeform: (a sequencer typically has provisions for playback, and entry from external device)
asciilifeform: decimation: typesetting - not sequencing
mike_c: lol. the "other" foundation also had a 0.5.3.1 release
decimation: video editing may be, but there are plenty of perfectly functional music typesetting add-ons for TeX
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: just about everyone knows an 'arts type' with his photoshit
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Music typesetting, Video editting, and other hobby pursuits tend to be adventures that lock people into Winshit or Mac shit for too long
decimation: re: autoconf << horrible. whoever thought it was a good idea to write 'magic autoconfigure' in 'm4' ought to be negrated
BingoBoingo: <lobbes> decimation: worse is the kids today growing up with iTurds attached to their hands << Or people who because of persistent other interest feel themselves trapped in "consumer" platform

asciilifeform: (i'd love to know why)
asciilifeform: who remembers the finnish ftp search engine?
assbot: Qntra.net Traffic and Demographic Statistics by Quantcast ... ( http://bit.ly/1yTZAP9 )
mircea_popescu: https://www.quantcast.com/qntra.net << so as the trafic grows, the women and aa demographics continue to shrink.
asciilifeform: the bright things - vanished
asciilifeform: the evil things of that time - all are still there, in some zombie form (aol, yahoo, microshit)
asciilifeform: decimation: i admit to having been mildly surprised to learn today that ftp.cdrom.com vanished years ago. i sorta expected some shrivelled, mummufied husk to still be there.
asciilifeform: autoconf, what a sad joke. so often dwarfs the proggy it's distributed with!
asciilifeform: of the time.
asciilifeform: as opposed to monstrous build process for recent codebases << gnu autoconf is the culprit 99%
mircea_popescu: foundation definitely going the right path.
mike_c: i absolutely love how little code there is and how fast it built. feels right, as opposed to monstrous build process for recent codebases.
mircea_popescu: mike_c what is this running on ? pc ?
mike_c: and the script could only be run once because it fails if it doesn't import the 3 keys, which only happens the first itme you run it

mircea_popescu: !up testsasdfqwer
mircea_popescu: like that, it works. but god help him if he did something like "tight housing for poor folks like you"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dishonestly is by now so much the way of life in the us that no sane businessman intending to sell slum dwellings can possibly proceed in any other manner than by pretending it's low density.
asciilifeform: mike_c: what that mod6's script, or mine ?
mike_c: only couple minor mods to the foundation script were needed
asciilifeform: and tighter.
asciilifeform: the latter, in the initial designs are laughably low-density - but can always be packed tighter.
asciilifeform: from my understanding, u.s. civilian real estate chumpmeisters are split into two camps - the optimists, who intend to buy the old folks' homes using 'reverse mortgages' - pensions, appealing to folks with destroyed or absent savings, which bargain away the property - and then sell them back to young chumps;
asciilifeform: ~= 'think of this sinking titanic as increasing potential! when it hits the bottom of the sea, it will inevitably bounce up, with such strength that it will fly to the moon !111!'
asciilifeform: 'Right now, the U.S. household formation rate (essentailly the pace at which people, typically young adults, are moving out on their own) is incredibly low. When it speeds up, you'll see more demand for housing, and the things that come along with it, like appliances, furniture, televisions, and so forth. So, you know, just think of this graph as increasing potential.' << mega-lol!
mike_c: well look at that. http://i.imgur.com/B9Kq467.png thanks foundation!
BingoBoingo: Note in the slate article the differential between Boys and Girls moving back in with the parents. A surprising part of the differential is girls moving in with the boy's parents.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> then one goes into their dwellings, and understands why catered rubber chicken is a step up << the same 8 to an initially clean hotel room to them counts as luxury

asciilifeform: and with tv each, some books (all school-related, counted), titanic piles of clothing forming a kind of underbrush in each

asciilifeform: but i didn't take that building, owner refused to carry out construction work i wanted.
mircea_popescu: and yet these are the derps going on about "intrinsic worth" on reddit.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> blowing through a grate in floors one and two << Rather common in the middle west in houses converted from boiler radiator arrangement to "central heat"
asciilifeform: they'd be out on their arses
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lol i wasn't thinking of subleasing them
asciilifeform: you stand on the grate and peer in the fiery abyss.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform now tell me that taking the whole raft/8pack of dumbass chickies on a dogfoot pellets / leather belts and canes diet isn't somnething THEY should pay you for.
