asciilifeform: exactly like what an unpatched trb does for first hour or three of boot
asciilifeform: well right nao it's pulling blox from other trb's, at ~100% efficiency
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: right, idea being that it is conceivable that 'aggression' increases isolation . i cannot yet rule it out.
asciilifeform: and speaking of this, can haz patch that logs ~from what kind of node~ each ACCEPTED block came ? ( or do i have to do errything meself..? )
asciilifeform: ... as mircea_popescu prolly intuited , it remains possible that 'aggression' takes the trb<->prb link breakage from , say, the 80% of before, to 100% , and i would not learn about it until reaching tip.
asciilifeform: ( supposing ben_vulpes et al , dun report sooner )
asciilifeform: in ~1wk i expect to learn how it behaves at tip.
asciilifeform: thing's been purring along, incidentally, at almost 100% blockverificationdutycycle, for most of a day nao.
asciilifeform: this'd matter moar in practice if 'aggressive' node saw many bastards . but it now sees very few, because immediately pushgetblocks() when it gets visited.
asciilifeform: ( unrelatedly, but before i fughet, observation : http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-21#1755826 i.e. bastardry handler, is unproductive because it asks 'fill in what we're missing', but 99 out of 100 shots, that's ~another~ bastard. really instead it ought to either 1) send a normal pushgetblocks() to the bastard-emitter , asking him for the ~one and only block we won't reject~, it being the immediately-next-one-after-our-topheight , or☝︎
asciilifeform: kurchatov, supposedly, sat and thought, and few minutes later answered, 'perhaps from philosophical pov this'd be consistent. but then we will have to forget about obtaining the bomb.'☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: stalin summoned kurchatov to the throne room, and described to him 'we're gonna have a cleanup, in physics, like in genetics, what do you think'
asciilifeform: there was a specific conversation, legendarily:
asciilifeform: kurchatov was able to work in conceptual sphere, and not only without interference but with offer of 'tell us who is getting in the way, he'll be gone next morning'
asciilifeform: but i did say ~under~ stalin, not 'by'
asciilifeform: ( and can't simply use the html escape notation, because it gets literalized by the code-formatter )
asciilifeform: well how would it dwim. gotta offer an explicit escape. and the thing, apparently, doesn't.
asciilifeform: author, apparently, did not give it any ability to distinguish 'standalone double-quote because actually need it' from 'idjit user forgot to close the " '
asciilifeform: ( being a code formatter, it naively insists on colouring the inside of the double-quotes... )
asciilifeform: the as-is incurably kills it, because unpaired quote.
asciilifeform: i'ma prolly have to rewrite the code-formatter plugin thing, it insists on autoprocessing to emplace the escapes, but does not do ~mismatched~ double-quotes
asciilifeform: < , <, & , did not have to uniturd, there are ready-made escapes for these
asciilifeform: took a bit of massage to get it to stop mutilating >, <, &
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this one isn't a wp problem per se, it's interaction b/w wp and the colorizer thing
asciilifeform: the current test on zoolag, however, is mighty interesting: after floundering in a sea of prb for ~hour, thing's been loading blocks almost continuously. at this rate will actually sync in a week or so.
asciilifeform: ( naturally , this is not a Troo Rigorous test. that'd go as i described, 2 identical, save for 'aggression', boxen, on 2 identical pipes )
asciilifeform: in other noose, 'aggression' patch is apparently ~the~ pill against what ailed zoolag; 482253 -> 484621 in ~12hr , previously that was 3-4 day's worth
asciilifeform: ( i.e. nothing ~inside~ the vpatch, suffers )
asciilifeform: ^ this in re: to the ~www~ text strictly !!
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-24#1757842 << the wp 'code' plugin is massive headache, i've been fighting it since ch1 . ( e.g in ch4 i had to replace the " in ('"') with a similar-looking uniturd, because double-escape is apparently impossible )☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: congrats to phf , the 1st winner of ch4 puzzler.
asciilifeform: a vtron ought to have programmable hash knob.
asciilifeform: the constant and entirely unnecessary reset of history is imho urbit-like and a Bad Thing. e.g. polarbeard ain't coming back to regrind his patches, nor is punkman
asciilifeform: trinque: i'd especially luvv a depythonized and deperlized one
asciilifeform: if yer surrounded by ocean of prb, it does 0
