mod6: <+jurov> mod6 and why not "failed at" #__LINE__ "in" #__FILE__ << sounds good to me, can you give me a full example so I don't screw this up, ive never used tat before.
jurov: mod6 and why not "failed at" #__LINE__ "in" #__FILE__
asciilifeform was not always a burned out old man, was once an eager sort of kid, like gabriel_laddel
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: got any phriendz who have ?
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: you ever design a pcb of whatever kind ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he's after the legendary 'dragonfly' fpga.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: there were at least four package variants.
mod6: mircea_popescu: ya, not a bad thing at all. but yeah, maybe eventually we move to that once the source "cools down" so to speak.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: you can turn up as many as you like and mount'em yourself.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: the other thing is that my understanding is that the 6216 was never produced in serious quantity
mod6: mircea_popescu: qq, would you be alright with this error message, as opposed to yours which has a line number in it: printf("ERROR, ECDSA_sign failed in key.h:Sign()");
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: btw why do you prefer tabs to 4 spaces?
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: fpga is pretty much never mounted in a socket (the low end xilinx cpld, e.g., 95xx series, do come in plcc - but high pin count makes this a bitch)
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes meh. they're equally stupid, but shouldn't get in the way of anything.
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 13:56:38; mircea_popescu: it's bad enough in a project. in a same file it's insufferable.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: you mount it to a board
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: you do understand that these parts don't socket, right ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: wtf?
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: how on earth do you propose to do THAT ?
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: the thing i wanted to do would've required several, and i lacked the dough at the time.
mircea_popescu: in other interbuttistic news, http://40.media.tumblr.com/b860c30bf1d675a8577958304430e459/tumblr_nwsd21EPcv1u6bcbyo1_1280.jpg
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: the story ends there.
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 13:38:10; mircea_popescu: SPACE ALLIGNMENT!!!1 who! why! jesus.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: back in... '09
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel no, for money o.O
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: believe or not, i once wrote to the various folks claiming to have the 6216
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: what, for free?
asciilifeform: !up gabriel_laddel
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://dpaste.com/0SRXEVV << lulfest
asciilifeform: btw does mircea_popescu intend to read the winblowz nt source too ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i found the prb ecdsa thing quite distasteful
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this means zapping openssl, realize.
mod6: i conducted a second live-fire test today with the changes submitted by mircea_popescu & asciilifeform, here are the results: http://dpaste.com/29928TB.txt
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: quite possibly awshammer is obsolete
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Much to be said for the learning value of patch by hand in addition to doing V-presses
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that chick looks like she is eating a lemon or what
mircea_popescu: http://40.media.tumblr.com/b888e8335a231a2734ec1eef03379a40/tumblr_mf12tcSGGS1rms8vuo1_1280.jpg << "sorry, we've had some reports of thefts lately"
asciilifeform: somebody here (ben_vulpes?) even learned cpp just for the occasion. ☟︎
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: observe that even mircea_popescu has put on the apocalyptic gas mask and reads.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i must agree with BingoBoingo: sadly, reading the actual code is not optional
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how did his scheme ~guarantee~ ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wouldn't it already be a thing if we had the fee-based mempool sorter ?
mod6: mircea_popescu: thanks for taking the time to search through the code today and write it up.
asciilifeform: incidentally pete_dushenski doesn't have to write a history if he doesn't feel like it
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> pete_dushenski: Anyways the way comprehensive exams work is you gotta rewrite the thing either over the summer term or next semester from scratch. Hopefully before you next write for the comprehensive exam you read code. << word.
mod6: pete_dushenski: if I may be so bold, Sir: Some helpful info you may find in the monthly statements from the foundation.
mircea_popescu: in yet other other news, http://41.media.tumblr.com/3d812ac51098f15ad6c974acdf63736a/tumblr_n8aewlgLDV1t0quw8o1_1280.jpg
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> if only we had larger blocks. << srsly right?
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> Dec 22 17:01:42 <mircea_popescu>Iin other news, "blocks" : 182731, << same system is now "blocks" : 347914. << almost there!

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: http://www.contravex.com/2016/01/21/an-historical-timeline-of-the-real-bitcoin-trb-development-part-ii/#comment-39387
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 14:40:51; mircea_popescu: that once the current version being worked upon is released, we all do a whole-source scouring of spaces, and sign the independently generated results, which will be an immediate, other patch.
pete_dushenski: http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/660/cpsprodpb/3EE0/production/_87769061_33fd250e-5b35-4802-b575-be352ef87edb.jpg << pretty sure 99% of the internet is "smart like bill". lotta good it does them.
BingoBoingo: But props to pete_dushenski for trying to write for the comprehensive exam at this time.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Anyways the way comprehensive exams work is you gotta rewrite the thing either over the summer term or next semester from scratch. Hopefully before you next write for the comprehensive exam you read code.
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell ben_vulpes you'll be pleased to find your trb history prominently linked in part ii :)
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: It appears you failed the development history portion of your comprehensive exam. Must retake.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-01-2016#1380409 << dun wanna make pete_dushenski cry, but this is a ~terrible~ summary, if i were whacked over the head and forgot about my patches, and had to re-learn them from that article, i'd have nfi what they were and why. ☝︎

assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 21:56:07; mircea_popescu: check it out alfie, your clone with less technical skills is running the usg's largest bank-department.
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 21:43:57; mircea_popescu: well... it's what, 650kb, so then the idea is that it should be condensable in 10kb or so ?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-01-2016#1380266 << yes! and you can almost ~define~ 'sane system' this way. with the caveat that it can't be a non-orthogonal fudge like a program consisting of one line 'start_bitcoind()' nor anything in that spirit. ORTHOGONAL operators. ☝︎☟︎
adlai doesn't recall saying that he himself, that is, adlai_chandrasekhar, wants to meet mircea_popescu or market make options
adlai wonders whether he should re-rate mircea_popescu with the thing about "text, signed or otherwise"
adlai: mircea_popescu: is MPEx still looking for btc/fiat options market makers?

assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 12:53:33; mircea_popescu: what init.cpp are you working on as an a mod6 ?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: remember when Garzik was all "Lets build a decentralized exchange for ASICMINER"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu - http://trilema.com/2016/the-sad-state-of-bitcoin-code/#comment-116293
thestringpuller: I learned to code on MSVC lol. QBasic -> MSVC_6 -> Linux
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ever read the thing before ?
asciilifeform: i think mircea_popescu is really enjoying this, somehow
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: there was an episode at c3 involving a box of matches, prolly what mircea_popescu was remembering.
asciilifeform: and reading mircea_popescu on certain subjects is rather reminiscent of this 'computer'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: when i was a small boy, my elder brother taught me a lesson once: ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 17:47:17; asciilifeform: whenever i hear about mircea_popescu's 'free men', i think of... chessboxing.
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 12:38:53; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-01-2016#1379483 << this reminds me of that "i'll be sober in the morning - you'll still be ugly" line.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> hey, is this a documented openssl hole ? seems it could be useful. << found this, seems like the opposite tho: http://marc.info/?l=openssl-dev&m=122520520421616
mircea_popescu: BN_rshift segfaults on 64-bit if 2^shift is greater than the number if built on ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10, probably depends on version of openssl
thestringpuller: looks like irdial would rather post to medium than qntra: https://medium.com/@beautyon_/bitcoin-is-not-democratic-81f87158250a#.ybi7j38cg
mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> but we're not there yet. so far, prepping a list of magic numbers. <<
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what you're really interested in is std:: structures
asciilifeform: boost_foreach is not, it is an iterator over some set
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for(;;) is an infinite loop
mircea_popescu: ./main.cpp- for (;;) << i don't get it, if it's going to do plain for(;;) why the fuck does it want the fancy boost_foreach ?
mircea_popescu: FILE* file = fopen(strprintf("%s/blk%04d.dat", GetDataDir().c_str(), nFile).c_str(), pszMode);
asciilifeform: http://poetry.uazone.net/kobzar/ivan_pidkova.html << spiffy
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ioan p. reminds me, there really oughta be some good material floating about re: the 20th c. chinese 'warlords' (as they are for some reason called in english world)
asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu is correct re: that i cannot possibly have any idea ~why~ peter 1 did what he did.

mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> and even mircea_popescu apparently does, on occasion. << actually that dpaste earlier was the first time in at least 10 years.
asciilifeform: and even mircea_popescu apparently does, on occasion.
asciilifeform: and from mircea_popescu's articles i get the impression that his meatspace friends are respectable folk, 'high power' lawyers, traders, etc. rather than cpp connoisseurs
asciilifeform: i'd be worried if mircea_popescu ~did~ see merit, would suspect that the universe is coming unglued
