ben_vulpes: i'll be quite amused if i fail to wedge it
ben_vulpes: in any event i've gotten the thing to 240000
asciilifeform: so that 'kill -9'-style death is always the correct behaviour.
mircea_popescu: im not sure why bdb is trying to be both
asciilifeform: incidentally this is why a correctly-implemented blockchain db is isomorphic to a 'journalling' file system.
mircea_popescu: didn't you shut yours down a number of times ?
ben_vulpes: "versions prior to 0.6.0 detached all databases at shutdown." << explains hilariously slow shutdowns
ben_vulpes: honestly i'd just rather have it on my kindle than flip through whatever's in the mail
ben_vulpes: i'm actually thinking about bitcoin databases so nothing w/r/t asylum
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes what are you trying to accomplish ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, your pay-per-dl comes to like 2k satoshi if you do it in one go, or else free if you take what was it, 5 weeks.
ben_vulpes: if the author endorsed approach is to copy the damn thing off his website...
asciilifeform: i think they want the cover & the turkish bubblegum smell.
assbot: I wrote a book… pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: to compete with the current, "free" ?
asciilifeform: this is the book, which was a 'best of' (in his view) of his last site, 'fourth checkraise.'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ty for that.
mircea_popescu: turns out this is a moot consideration in your case.
mircea_popescu: ences may have incompatible “log” files. The -detachdb option moves any pending changes from the “log” files to the “blkindex.dat” file for maximum compatibility, but makes shutdown much slower. Note that the “wallet.dat” file is always detached, and versions prior to 0.6.0 detached all databases at shutdown."
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes : "Explanation of -detachdb (and the new “stop true” RPC command): The Berkeley DB database library stores data in both “.dat” and “log” files, so the database is always in a consistent state, even in case of power failure or other sudden shutdown. The format of the “.dat” files is portable between different versions of Berkeley DB, but the “log” files are not– even minor version differ
mircea_popescu: pls to let me know furiously if more further problems later on.
mircea_popescu: cazalla BingoBoingo others : ok, i *think* the bad routing thing may be fixed.
ben_vulpes: is there an en.bitcoin.it mirror anywhere?
ben_vulpes: watch it come back without any reference to detachdb...
asciilifeform: recommends especially to BingoBoingo
asciilifeform has the book, it is lovely
asciilifeform: see also http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2008/09/survival-of-nicest.html (solely for the quote from seagrave's 'castaways')
mircea_popescu: and the folk that muck a hand the moment it can't win don't tend to end up in the bottom half of the poker tourney either.
asciilifeform: the folks blessed with the talent of 'not care' on-demand - probably tended to not end up behind the wire in the first place.
asciilifeform was not in treblinka, knows only what the contemporaries saw fit to write down
mircea_popescu: caring has its place. that place is not "everywhere all the time"
asciilifeform: when mother, sister, wife - buried - they swing axe with the grace of ballet dancer.
mircea_popescu: hostages ? someone has to first care
asciilifeform: when 'they'll xxx my mother, sister, wife' - folks hesitate to swing axe
asciilifeform: the way historians seem to present it, it was less 'listening' and more 'no hostages'
mircea_popescu: in some circumstances, listening to the women is a bad idea.
mircea_popescu: whether young or old ? slutty or annyoing ? big tits or small ? pert or loose ?
asciilifeform: nein. only that they were already dead.
mircea_popescu: so now... tell me. did it matter how fucking pretty the women were ?
mircea_popescu: funny how that goes huh ?
asciilifeform: iirc, the magic ingredient - no women
mircea_popescu: or in the cinematic version, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r-vu-l8mLE
asciilifeform: notable for being the only major one inside the barbed wire
asciilifeform: notable historical case study is treblinka uprising
mircea_popescu: nothing easier in the world than "fuck you and get lost."
asciilifeform: swinging the axe - another matter altogether.
asciilifeform: except everyone, i think, knows this
mircea_popescu: fuck that. the freedom you like is built on a certain kind of disinterest in effects.
asciilifeform: and recall how that went.
mircea_popescu: this is like, russian orthodox church vs tsarate already.
mircea_popescu: let the fucking feds cut off financing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i tell you, if i was the provost i wouldn't have made the offer.
asciilifeform: 'Physicist Steven Jones, who first pointed to the use of thermite in the destruction of the two towers had to agree to having his university buy out his tenure or his university was faced with losing all federal financing.' << example from herr orlov. ( http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2014/09/911-after-13-years.html )
mircea_popescu: just because some fucktarded barbarians in a colony think that cowboys in sheets = latins.
mircea_popescu: decimation for the record, as one coming from an actually multicultural world, i am both offended at the misuse of the term and would pray you don't discard an actually superior mode of human life
nacci: nepotism trumps tenure
asciilifeform: (it being a kind of property right, traditionally - fat surprise.)
decimation: tenure exists if you are willing to push the multicult
asciilifeform: any more than property.
mircea_popescu: since that's what tenure is. "o you don't like me ? fuck you and get lost."
decimation: well that's a good point, he probably didn't
mircea_popescu: and i dare think if he had a tenured position this would have been a non issue
decimation: heh yeah that's why he needs to be here
mircea_popescu: how is this comparison against me ?
mircea_popescu: but... wait. i make more than whatever tenured prof makes.
decimation: mircea_popescu: to be fair, you didn't have a tenured position in a nato colony
mircea_popescu: i switched from romanian to english jus' fine.
mircea_popescu: Clearly, Professor Kokkarinen was naive to use his own name when he switched his blog from Finnish to English <<< mp considers just how great his power is.
asciilifeform: (note, this is 'sixteen volts,' his early site. not 'fourth checkraise')
asciilifeform: afaik the only copy on the net.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: was taken to политотдел.
mircea_popescu: what sort of ignarous barbarity is this!
mircea_popescu: like... does the geography department accept grammar ?
decimation: maybe he can port bitcoind to forth
decimation: right, we need to get him here
mircea_popescu: "After being alerted by The Ryersonian, computer science chair, Alireza Sadeghian said the department neither accepts nor condones Kokkarinen’s views."
mircea_popescu: The brilliant Finnish-Canadian computer science professor / blogger Ilkka Kokkarinen has taken down his popular blog, presumably to keep his job after his campus newspaper noticed his heterodox views. His skepticism about the intellectual consistency of lesbian-feminist theory and practice would appear to have been his biggest crime. ☟︎☟︎
decimation: from the senior usg Standartenführer's point of view, the polygraph is an ideal device to filter the workforce into compliant sheep and stone cold thugs
decimation: from the senior usg 'stendartendfurher's
asciilifeform: decimation: there are folks who do it for a hobby.
decimation: there is probably some amusement to be had in experimenting with such things
mircea_popescu: english is in this sense quite stupid.
asciilifeform: fiddybucks buys you all the components, in a manageable pocket size.
mircea_popescu: joecool this is my broader point. a stupid language deserves its own stupidity.
asciilifeform: incidentally, you don't need the jailed quack to 'study lie detector'
joecool: mircea_popescu: i'm just surprised nobody else wrote about it, i doubt they get huge volume searching for things, but still, nothing mentioned about it
asciilifeform: or those with naturally 'immobile' vital signs
decimation: as asciilifeform mentioned in the past the operative effect is to filter for 'cold' psychopaths
mircea_popescu: joecool funny how that goes, right ?
asciilifeform: about the same thing that hot coals ordeal has to do with 'truth.'
decimation: but the problem is this has nothing to do with truthsaying
asciilifeform: that is the apparatus pictured in the photo
decimation: to be fair, there is some science in the sense that it detects parasympathetic activation
asciilifeform: the 'polygraph', as the name implies, combines several instruments (eeg, ekg, conductometer)
decimation: mircea_popescu: maybe if they are short polygraphers usg asks some local scientologists to sub in
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: this is a standard usg 'lie detector.' << the funny thing is, i dunno if the scientologists copied the ohmmeter after the usg "lie detector", or vice-versa, the fbi is tring to find yout tethans
asciilifeform: (discussion thereof)
asciilifeform: re: ilkka: >> http://isteve.blogspot.com/2006/09/16-volts-silenced-by-his-university.html << the demise of his first site
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: decimation: possibly even fewer. <<< he likes a short thing lol.
mircea_popescu: lmao this stuff...
