tried
to boot my bolix, had
to re-write apple bus"

that postgres can build an index concurrently under load was pretty valuable just
today, and nobody over here had
to write it.

the same way
that common lisp fails at making cogs, mmmapped custom $whatever can be marvelously conservative of
time and space, fit entirely in head, and also be anti-cog.

mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-05#1878451 << mysql also does
this, and i recall
the history
too (anyone remember digg being out for a coupla days because morons hit
the max count of db entries, re-defined
table
to use larger ints, and had
to ~rebuild
the index offline~ for 30+ hours ?)

the datacenter just sent
the statement of account showing receipt of
the wires
mircea_popescu: break customer nrCgvFMWCqpO's october payment <<
this is so cool.

☝︎☟︎ ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: please also stand up a postgres somewhere convenient for me
to import and continue
to work on
this spreadsheet;
this is ready for you
to do your own data entry on fiat/btc incoming/outgoing
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: logs suggest we have 2 outstanding wires; i don't suppose either have cleared yet, have
they?
ben_vulpes: write
the calculator of change in customer equity account for a given month (which is
the biggest manual backbreaker); after
that i will do depreciation on
the
tangibles by hand, update assets and liabilities
tables.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: data entry of btc
transactions and usd
transactions is complete; data entry for prepaid customers and monthly paying customers is quite nearly so. BingoBoingo: please dig
through notes and break customer nrCgvFMWCqpO's october payment into one for
the rockchip and another for
the shell. since
they have different
time horizons,
they need separate subscriptions. asciilifeform: next
thing i do is
mircea_popescu: nah.
they don't even really have vespas here. just shitty
toyotas
a111: Logged on 2018-12-05 02:16 mircea_popescu: lobbes i see no problem whatsoever with rssbot
taking over eulora.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-02 21:26 mircea_popescu: now
this man... he had a set of 9V lightbulbs. and so as any good respectable citizen i sat down with
the dead man's dragon pile,
to
TEST everythiung I got. yes ?

the hypothesis
though is not "they lost everything", it's rather
that
they all have a handful of what
they were
told were gold chests by people who can actually recognize gold. when poking at contents stuff seems vaguely gold like, so
they hold
to it hoping
to cash it in, never really "having
time"
to go
to an appraiser.
phf: i concede
that
there might be a faint within a faint, but i can't Munchhausen my way out of
that one: i kind of have
to assume
that my perception of reality somewhat corresponds
to reality, rather
than a bunch of people playing elaborate games with me
a111: Logged on 2018-11-16 22:50 asciilifeform:
there's also
the 'is it really ~the~
tapes' aspect. as in
the old
thing with
the gold bars
that nobody wants
to drill for
tungsten. consider for instance how nikola
tesla was able
to live in
the waldorf for years, with
the loan collateral being a
trunk containing 'great invention of much dangerous power'. when died,
turned out
to contain a whetstone bridge.
phf: it's possible
that one of
those boxes actually have gold in it, but
the handful
that i opened had _mostly_ garbage

☟︎ phf: you have hobbyists building emulators with much less
to go by
phf: asciilifeform: a lot of
things happened since 98
though,
that predates a couple of particularly gnaly fire sales. also alpha based emulation is "easy"
to do from first principles for an experienced symbolics professional, you need an instruction list, some understanding of
the architecture and a
the sources for
the os.
mircea_popescu: lobbes i see no problem whatsoever with rssbot
taking over eulora.
☟︎ phf: i was
thinking
though of moving it out of
the ridiculous steel enclosure,
that might make it a
touch more
transportable
phf: nah, left it at
the office. at least
there's enough wiring in place
to do remote x11 (though i haven't
tried yet, have people in place
to flip switches, but not necessarily
to reseat
the boards)
phf: i regret not buying a macivory at discount when i had a chance, it also would've been easy
to
take
to russia with me
phf: re dks and fpga, i'm also not sure
that he has enough data, or if he even knows if he has enough, or if
the "master" in question has enough. i'm starting
to suspect
that
the reason nothing's moving forward is because it's an intellectual bezel, a cat
that's alive only until observed
phf: asciilifeform: ah
ty, i was mostly making a "bright side" argument, since we do have an xl1201
a111: Logged on 2018-10-19 01:04 asciilifeform: amberglint: when i went
to his house 10y ago, offered
to him
to make fpga-ized 'ivory' , 'pro bono', if he'd only cough up with what. answr was approx 'can't , unless my master permits, and he wouldn't'
phf: heh, i like
that last analogy
phf: it's more of a mental rolodex of 5 guys who are not in
their 70s who are or were actively working with anything at all symbolics. he also knows
the ones in
their 70s, but
those, except for reiner joswig, rarely come up, since
they are, at
this point,
the kind of people who boot
their symbolics, if
they still have one, once in 5 years
to remember
the glory days
phf: re ivory i
think we had a
thread about macivory being much easier
to reverse, since it's all isolated, but you will still have
to spend
time (re?)learning
the gnarly details of apple bus, and whatever adhoc protocol is used
to communicate with host. going by an xl might not be a worse option
phf: it's all about
that escape velocity
phf: signing
the lease
today
phf: also i'm alive and on
the other end, will soon return
to regular scheduled programming
lobbesbot: phf: Sent 6 days, 6 hours, and 6 minutes ago: <asciilifeform>
turns out i was wrong re
the rom,
the rom-shaped object is actually a 1980s 'programmable event
timer'

lobbes: unrelatedly mircea_popescu do you care if spyked's rss bot
takes over in #eulora? lobbesbot's RSS-tron has always been buggy and is 100% heathen atm. Imo makes sense
to just
transition
to spyked if he is okay with it
a111: Logged on 2018-09-17 19:38 mircea_popescu:
trinque
tbh i was
thinking of revising
the voice model altogether, in favour of a voice-or-kick model.
mod6: hanbot: glad
to hear you're on
the mend.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-04 00:35 asciilifeform: lol
terrifyingly rotten ocr
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, in 1990's Merkel hadn't flooded
the EU yet with Petrus-kin
a111: Logged on 2018-12-04 17:34 asciilifeform: currently i see
the chance
that somebody will lend asciilifeform a unit for 'hey lemme pull and waltz
the GALs and i'ma give it back
to you, will
try not
to zap it' as pretty slim.
