Adlai: they must have been using
the algol-compatibility subset
bounce: rulemaking,
the frontier
mircea_popescu: Over at reddit.com, we rewrote
the site from Lisp
to Python in
the past week. It was pretty much done in one weekend. << lawl.
decimation: eh. every new bureaucrat knows
that
they can 'embrace and extend' new
territory by
trying
to 'get
there first'
mircea_popescu: Adlai how come everyone's smart yet
the concept of stupid exists ?
Adlai: if
there were only one gender, "gender"
the concept wouldn't exist
decimation: how's
that for symbol/number representation
decimation: most morse operators who have
to send numbers use shortened versions
bounce: typical how you're both reverting
to upper case. who said
that had
to be
the only one available?
mircea_popescu: anyone
trying
to divorce any of
these gets
to burn in hell.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eh i don't even agree. fuck all
this subtlety of amuk idiocy. a character, its encoding,
the representation
thereof and its numeric value are all
THE SAME
THING. forever.
decimation: I guess it's not worth worrying about until
there's an uptake in deedbot usage
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: All of
the letters, entire doctors full of letters.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo we probably should send
them some letters
too.
assbot: Logged on 26-10-2014 20:32:15; punkman: deeds are sha256 hashed, hash is b58encoded, b58encoded hashes of all deeds are joined with ",",
that string is sha256'd again and
that's
the private key
mircea_popescu: dude omg. not like he didn't say and get quoted x
times.
decimation: okay, so each bundle has a hash, and
the privkey of
that bundle is
the hash of
the list of all past hashes
Adlai: asciilifeform:
thx
mircea_popescu: decimation all submitted deeds during one hour go in
the same bundle./
decimation: well, if
the hash of
the bundle is included in
the bundle, how did
the hash end up in
the bundle?
Adlai is a little curious about
this deed stuf
decimation: imagine a century from now, someone wants
to verify a deed - he would need
to
transmit potentially millions of deed hashes
decimation: well, I was
thinking about undata's problem
decimation: one would imagine
that keeping
the pile of all past deeds would become cumbersome
decimation: is
there going
to be a 'reset' of
the state of his deed 'knapsack' over
time?
decimation: abe you were a murderous
tyrant who birthed modern usg
Adlai: asciilifeform: we = same we
that are emulating drum printers, here = our efforts
to go beyond drum printers
Abelincoln: whats up
this is abe lincoln
talking from
the dead yo
Adlai: what exactly are we
trying
to do here
decimation: you are stuck with 8 bits if you don't want
to constantly guess at endianness
decimation: Another reason why chars suck is
the endian problem
decimation: no one has
the will/ability
to make better software until hardware
to use it rolls around
decimation: actually it's a
tacit admission
that computers suck
decimation: someone should make a --cccp flag
that enables ☭ as
the BOM/EOM char for gpg
decimation: I
think you had
that rant a few months ago on
that
topic
cazalla: jurov, referring
to kakobrekla's coinchimp image.. hey if it was good enough for people
to say mailchimp was vaguely racist..
decimation: like, are
they going
to send it on a 5-bit
teletype?
decimation: why would anyone
think it would be a good idea
to escape chars below 7 bits?
decimation: asciilifeform: is
this because base64?
jurov: they forgot
to mention
they are amazing
jurov: We are MUCH safer
than
the other exchanges, each of which has spawned a huge list of horror stories from disgrunted customers.
jurov: That's just basic classical economics. Scammers don't last long in
the Bitcoin ecosystem.
jurov: lol on
their on "warning" page:
assbot: Logged on 26-10-2014 21:44:02; asciilifeform:
till we have a gpg
that clearsigns without escape char mutilation - we got
this.
PeterL: what control would
the characters have?
bounce: more elegant
to invent your own pgp control script complete with glyphs and have it accepted in
the unicode standard
jurov: ^ was supposed
to ACK
jurov: oh
that. only if
tim berners lee used
them for html instead of <>"'
jurov: how does a browser use
them?
jurov: asciilifeform << our
thread last night << now i wonder why nobody's reusing ascii control characters (C0)
Adlai must've had some
tracking crap in his browser already
punkman: yeah, not sure if it will have space for sticker
though
punkman: I got a coin in
the works btw
pete_dushenski: cazalla
they were lost in
the hosting changeover and have yet
to reappear.
they may still or
they may not.
cazalla: pete_dushenski, where did
the women go btw
kakobrekla: but
they could at least vaguely describe
their process/tools < we call
the rand() function.
twice.
punkman: asciilifeform: cazalla: little
to gain, plenty
to lose << but
they could at least vaguely describe
their process/tools
cazalla: so really, it's more a question of why buy physical coins
to begin with
than getting
to
the point of asking how
they generated
the private keys used for
the priv address inside
the coin
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes it's a bit odd
that
the sidescroll shows up in firefox and safari but not opera. what're you using?
