mircea_popescu: im not entirely sure why
this sort of idiot is being maintained on artificial life support.
mircea_popescu: "Feces are almost entirely deceased gut bacteria and water. I massacred my gut bacteria
the day before by consuming a DIY Soylent version with no fiber and
taking 500mg of Rifaximin, an antibiotic with poor bioavailability, meaning it stays in your gut and kills bacteria. Soylent’s microbiome consultant advised
that
this is a
terrible idea so I do not recommend it. However, it worked.
Throughout
the challenge I did n
ben_vulpes: decimation: have not yet
tested, do not
think
that is
the case.
ben_vulpes: obviously
the answer is a class with state safely segregated within it
ben_vulpes: just - find all
the places in which
there's a
testnet mention and
try
to figure out how
to implement an off-network chain
decimation: so is 0.5.3 incompatible with
the existing
testnet?
ben_vulpes: the
thing isn't actually all
that impossible
to reason about
ben_vulpes: if you dig into chainparams and main.cpp (iirc) you'll find such joys as
the "stop generating a chain after 1 block is found so
that...reasons"
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu would have
that by
the act of complaining i bring down more cpp upon my own back
ben_vulpes: now not only must i study
testnet but also
this regtest
thing
ben_vulpes: it's glued in with
the glass of
the chainparams class
ben_vulpes: i'm studying
the regtest phenomena of 0.8.whatever
decimation: no worries. I find
the stripped-down distribution much easier
to study
ben_vulpes: and i've no idea if it's
the most recent -
there's no patch
tracking
tooling in place
ben_vulpes: decimation: calling
that a patch is charitable - more an excision
decimation: ben_vulpes: is
the latest patch still yours? I haven't seen mention of others
ben_vulpes: did anyone get in
touch with bluematt?
decimation: if we want
to be backwards compatible, might as well go back
to 1920's era
teletype machines
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> recoleta* << and where for
the fleeing usian pauper?
decimation: so I guess
the alternative is
to base64 encode
the patches?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it occurs
to me... since it can only be picked up in person, you should
trade it for sex.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what'd you have
them do, replace it with Q ?
decimation: here's 32 control characters
that you can't use.
ben_vulpes: <Adlai>
the GIL is good << aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
decimation: still,
there are plenty of control characters
they could have used
decimation: need
to send 7-bit ascii
to denote limit
ben_vulpes: cvomposite - is
that a cvasi composite?!
mircea_popescu: decimation: why would anyone
think it would be a good idea
to escape chars below 7 bits? << gpg escapes
the dash because it uses a dash-cvomposite as a special char.
mircea_popescu: nubsy quits
too much. why are canadians such quitters ?
decimation: traditionally
they were 2-tone fsk, add another
tone
decimation: asciilifeform: on a
teletype it's easy
to send
ternary, just add another symbol
mircea_popescu: BUT at least back when
they were making django
they weren't making systemd
mircea_popescu: psychologically immature fucktards
trying
to protect
themselves from
their own insecurity with
the world at large.
mircea_popescu: <decimation>
there's something about
trying
to make one library
to rule
them all
that attracts a certain kind of busybody << word.
this is EXACTLY
the dynamic involved.
decimation: asciilifeform: you are implying you can encode
the entire alphabet evenly
decimation: there's something about
trying
to make one library
to rule
them all
that attracts a certain kind of busybody
decimation: I've
tried using some of
those python 'frameworks'
ben_vulpes: <thestringpuller> undata: it's unfortunate python gets a bad wrap
though, Djanga seems more stable
than say node.js << RECANT
ben_vulpes: <undata> dumb; at least
they knew
to stay away from Django << so much
to
this
Duffer1: asciilifeform xenogenesis
trilogy?
mircea_popescu: in point of fact, fucking in 3some with me
there IS
the only really fun
thing
decimation: asciilifeform: you know what
the 'third' charcter was used for?
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> (summary. aliens come,
they have males, females, and ooloi.
the latter run
things and are really
the only sentients. humans quickly discover
that fucking in 3some with ooloi 'adapter' is
the only really fun
thing.) << gripping hand?
mircea_popescu: jurov: instead of -----START/END OF WHATEVER------ use dedicated uncode chars <<< ftr i hate
this idea.
decimation: ah I
thought you meant synchronous with
the clock line
ben_vulpes: <Abelincoln> <<
that
this is not <Abelincoin> should have been enough
to prevent !ups
decimation: asciilifeform: it is used in golden
toilet projects
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: funny, we have physical virtual coins, but most money is in fact virtual physical money instead. << it's all a function of
the small amounts of quantity involved.
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> in my studies, i'm particularly interested in
the 'suck'
that no one even notices any more. << so relevant
decimation: I bought a chip
that puts out 1pps
to discipline my ovenized quartz oscillator
ben_vulpes: had loads of fun discovering
the parts of
the unix stack responsible for baud rate etc
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> it's as if we were still using
teletype << funny story, biz partner bought hisself some gps chips
mircea_popescu: decimation are you going
to fly any pilot drones around it ?
decimation: yeah
there was a boat in
the 'no-boat' box
decimation: we need
to move off irc and onto a radio net
decimation: now
the grassfuckers in charge buy
them and call it 'commercial
technology'
ben_vulpes: ;;later
tell pete_dushenski lol negatron brogrammer
decimation: turns out
they were sitting surplus in ukraine for 30 years
decimation: interestingly, it uses "AJ-26" engines, which were 'commercially purchased' by usg from...
the soviet moon program
decimation: wallops island, one of
the orbital rockets
nubbins`: so much for
testing simple case
punkbot: nubbins`: No valid deeds found,
try again.
decimation: asciilifeform:
they were gonna launch a rocket
tonight, visible from your house
