cazalla: i'll keep pasting em seeing scoopbot no longer has the scoop
assbot: I'm Patrick Murck And Welcome To Jackass 2.0 | Qntra.net
nubbins`: you need like 30-45 minutes to eat a donair
nubbins`: fast to order... eating it in a reasonable amount of time is the problem
ben_vulpes: not that moving forwards to "version number" parity with the rangers is in any way a good idea, just to handle this crud.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` isn't this fast food ?
ben_vulpes: i wonder if 0.6.3 shows the same behavior.
mircea_popescu: bounce: wonder if you could get away with telling the SEC, "we're being regulated by the bitcoin regulatory foundation so talk to them, not us." << depends on what you mean by get away.
nubbins`: didn't have time for a donair ;/
mircea_popescu: nubbins` how was the donairine
nubbins`: meantime, i may have something special lined up for the cover
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: actually in its wedged state it leaks so rapidly that it soaks up 8GB in six or so hours. while failing to fetch any blocks.
nubbins`: something tells me this book ain't getting done by nov 15 ;D
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: that, and it leaks memory. which means human intervention required.
ben_vulpes: because it fails to bring the whole chain down?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: we are far, far from the point where the answer to this question matters.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, whoever else: has anyone taken an interest in actually making the turd vaguely usable? namely, plugging the leaks (yes, all of them) and zapping the idiotic db corruption (supposedly 'rare': http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/2051)
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: thought it was a jp thing
kakobrekla: toilet and kitchen sink hybrid - no thanks. < toilet and bidet hybrids do well in china
Pierre_Rochard: thestringpuller: work is going well, we just moved half the employees to the other side, of I have an office to myself now. Just sandwiches
thestringpuller: Pierre_Rochard how is work. What was for lunch today? ;)
chetty: now that one makes my head hurt :P
ben_vulpes: jurov: i just pinged the turdolator and didn't get a bounce and don't see it in the archives.
chetty: anyway if you think about the overton window only letting you see the middle parts of the sphere it does explain a lot
chetty: haha, yeah it doesn't really mean that much, but it does put me off trying to explain things
asciilifeform: chetty: i'd love to know who is behind the delusion that 'mathematical ability' is the ability to mentally crunch small numbers quickly.
chetty: I seem to find a lot of people that cant even make change
asciilifeform: if you understand pythagorean theorem, you can do this one.
chetty: unfortunately not that many people can follow the math of it
chetty: hmmm and when you put that together with the overton window ...now I got to think some
asciilifeform: chetty: more fun. because in many cases you can blow idiots straight out of the water, with rigorous mathematical rocket, with it.
chetty: all very true, but not as much fun as the first one asciilifeform
asciilifeform: chetty: unfortunately schwartz's original essay appears to be lost in the burned library of googlexandria - usenet archive.
asciilifeform: chetty: hence, 'extremist' solutions, as dimensions are added to a problem (seen as a 'spherical horse' of course) are largely where the answers lie.
asciilifeform: chetty: (if you don't believe this - work it out!)
asciilifeform: chetty: n-dimensional sphere, as n increases, has increasingly greater fraction of its volume closer and closer to the surface.
asciilifeform: chetty: al schwartz had the ultimate mindfucker of an explanation:
chetty: asciilifeform, hahahaha best explanation of that I have heard, I am gonna steal it
asciilifeform: to which i answer: toilet - is good to have. kitchen sink - also good. toilet and kitchen sink hybrid - no thanks. the 'middle ground' is an idiot delusion, generally.
asciilifeform: and an advance fuckyou to anyone who might bitch, 'you whine about modeline vs. mode-line but you even want to switch to trinary computer and no existing soft.'
asciilifeform: (for the malefactors who give cause for such discussions, not the participants therein)
assbot: Re: [O] Errors after upgrading emacs to 24.3.1 and org to 7.9.4
asciilifeform: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-03/msg01535.html << when the firing squads at last for folks such as these?
cazalla: damn BingoBoingo, you were not kidding about that quantcast.. i had to get up early and chase the rubbish truck down the street as someone forgot to put the bins out last night :\
bounce: wonder if you could get away with telling the SEC, "we're being regulated by the bitcoin regulatory foundation so talk to them, not us."
kakobrekla: and they are in eu/uk/si
kakobrekla: so they can be a part of their averaged out ticker
kakobrekla: well buttstamp gives dox to usg
bounce: kinda curious since they're apparently registered in london.
bounce: so no meaningful reply except a stream of dox to be expected then. right.
kakobrekla: get as much chumps before they need to dox them
kakobrekla: bounce they upped their advertising cannons.
bounce ran into an open tab with the purported cex/ghash sec letter. can't help but wonder what happened next.
asciilifeform: other than that, it's a perfectly living book.
asciilifeform: note that classical 'k&r' variant of the language used a now-archaic function declaration style. that extant compilers have less than perfect support for.
asciilifeform: k&r 1st ed. w4r3z that someone asked for >> http://read.pudn.com/downloads124/ebook/525708/C_Programming_Language.pdf
asciilifeform: kakobrekla:jurov i think ppl dislike the ongoing costs associated with an account on cbr and advertising wont fix that << aha.
mircea_popescu: actually that was more like 2005 iirc.
jurov: maybe that anime is done similar way
mats_cd03: asciilifeform: know where i can find K&R 1st ed warez? ive only read 2nd ed, and i can't find the first through hefty googling.
mircea_popescu: US $133,700 to turn the new album into an hour long musical anime
mircea_popescu: anyway, there were all sorts of offers, matching gains, i dun recall it all.
jurov: he should know concrete numbers, it was tracked
mircea_popescu: i tell you i don't see it.
mircea_popescu: jurov put some numbers on those wonders ?
jurov: as for WoL.. did you ever do any giveaways on trolltalk? such as coinroll raffles, they made wonders
kakobrekla: since when do you listen to cow moos
mircea_popescu: it's constructed to support a certain ideology. that ideology does not include the user contributing anything.
mircea_popescu: granted that dismating it now is probably the worst possible outcome, way worse than never having implemented it in the first place.
bounce: lovely error message: "Failed to connect to server. The reason may be that the encryption methods supported by the server are not enabled in the security preferences." -- but naturally, DO NOT EVER show the poor user the list of supported protocols, because, you know, having the user guess is much better than showing what you do know.
mircea_popescu: basically, either they start taking obamacare apart or lose their mommentum
mats_cd03: i wonder what glad tidings gop congress will bring
mircea_popescu: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ab/2012nationwidecountymapshadedbypercentagewon.svg <<< all the experience playing WoL tells us anything about this map ?
CheckDavid: That's what i was thinking mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: CheckDavid maybe that one closed ?
CheckDavid: jurov: some gold bets come up, but i don't think its the one that i saw in the notification
mircea_popescu: "where should the searchbox advertise itself" is jurov's q.
jurov: when you put gold into the searchox, it won't come up?
kakobrekla: anyway shutup i got work to do.
jurov: pity he lives it that part of world where you can't get 10 miles without encountering town or road
kakobrekla: 28 miles is not that much easier
mircea_popescu: makes long distance relationships that much easier for him.
qntranet: thanks ya'll. I have a coinbr account to create.
kakobrekla: if 5 bux is change then you just get mpex acc its like 10 bux at the current btc price
mircea_popescu: same people then derp all about how ipad is great, costs them a little more than 5 bux, delivers a lot less.
jurov: plus another two per withdrawal
mircea_popescu: eh, that's reasonable.
mats_cd03: i don't mind the bitcent fees tbh
jurov: i know.. but still .. when there is only ~10 people who actually pay these 2 bitcents
qntranet: I know there are other people like me who get it
qntranet: Remove the scare factor a little bit
jurov: long past most people's attantion span, tho
kakobrekla: jurov i think ppl dislike the ongoing costs associated with an account on cbr and advertising wont fix that. my humble opinion.
jurov: it is mentioned in the mpex faq
qntranet: That's what I think my article might do.
qntranet: it's tough to break into the media.
jurov: so that people know about it?
qntranet: See. that's what us edumacation does for one lol
qntranet: I can afford to write an article. I don't have the 30 btc for Mpex (or I'd buy bitbet shares)
qntranet: I've been reading you for a year. I'm learning how. I've signed onto otc & know how to get in wot
