undata: you can extract a nice looking patch from git, and even email it from
there
decimation: but I know
they discuss important patches on
the kernel list
decimation: asciilifeform: isn't
the linux kernel still done
this way?
mircea_popescu: until it becames a case of "we will hang whoever made
this one byte error in bash"
undata: mircea_popescu: I use
the same for code review, even if it's a matter of emailing myself
decimation: I
think people are complaining more aboug github
than git
undata: that makes more sense. In
that case yes, I could see a very simple
tool for auditing, signing,
then releasing
mircea_popescu: undata
that's kinda why
this is not
the same discussion. you're
thinking of
the scratchpad.
they're
talking
the exhibition.
ben_vulpes: but for releases, history of changes
to bitcoin x
undata: ben_vulpes: sure,
that's a fine value, but every
time someone
tries
to reinvent VCS,
they either produce something
terrible or git
decimation: the important part isn't
the signature, it's
the code
ben_vulpes: name of
the game being dependency minimization.
mircea_popescu: similarly, you could sign via a website
that has your pubkeys
mircea_popescu: well ok, it could also be sung, or whatver. anyway,
the central idea here is
the signing.
undata: ascii isn't
the only format
that's "right
there for your eyes"
undata: I don't see why
that's a requirement, but ok
undata: asciilifeform: you're saying "what if git
tainted my commit"?
mircea_popescu: i don't
think you
two are discussing
the same discussion.
undata: asciilifeform:
the hidden format being
the git db?
decimation: I suspect git or whatever could be hooked
to operate on such patches
assbot: S.MG IPO succeeded. Other statements. pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: assbot: Breakout Gaming Fall Short In Attempt
To Raise 10,000 BTC | Qntra.net <<<
they shouldn'rt feel bad, minigames didn't manage 10k either.
decimation: it's amazing
that
there isn't a version control system with embedded crypto signatures
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> forsaking version control systems entirely! << i cannot conscience
this.
kakobrekla: i guess my guess is better
than sexygingers
kakobrekla: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform:
the non-classical version strings are interesting <<
the first
time i said ppl alter
their strings ppl hgere were "oh, mp is just making shit up
to win an internet argument" < i can see how someone running v0.9 would set
the string
to 'ducky duck' but not v0.1.
mircea_popescu: and because of ddos, plenty of
time miner doesn't rely.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: one can fudge
the version string in
the proggy, yes, but if you're on
the network, folks can presumably connect
to your node and
test behaviours <<< miner doesn't have
to rely
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform:
the non-classical version strings are interesting <<
the first
time i said ppl alter
their strings ppl hgere were "oh, mp is just making shit up
to win an internet argument"
decimation: turns out
they were calling
the buggy-as-hell bash
then
too
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you may be old enough
to recall
the fucking relief php was back when ppl were stuck doining web-cgi
mircea_popescu: oh i see. meh. prolly jurov should just reg it
to mess with people.
decimation: mircea_popescu: it appeals
to
the un crapolade
undata: overgrown
templating language
mircea_popescu: consequently,
the incredibly idiotic shit it does is concentrated
mircea_popescu: decimation no, moreover, php doesn't
try
to do much. literally, it's intended
to process strings.
decimation: I guess php has had a 'trial by fire' as
the lingua franca of web devel
kakobrekla: except not < i
think you are
the most common in bash say last 5 pages
mircea_popescu: no dude, php is a lot more stable
than ruby bs,
then
the ruby crowd goes around bitching about php
decimation: I guess I
thought
that anything written in php was exploited
to death
mircea_popescu: fucking scavenger culture. "o, nice car, is it
the latest ford ? no, it's an old
toyota civic with
the crap
thrown off"
decimation: yeah I guess hosting static
text is cheap

thestringpuller: note
that, for all
the poetic license of
the
tale, it is very clear
that wasp needs a support network.
undata: and still very relevant
to Russian life
undata: still
there, rotting, but not gone
undata: "Grandpa,
tuck us in and
tell us ISIS wont ruin Christmas!"
undata: some guy comes along and pledges
to slap our oligarchs around; after a bit economic collapse
they'd eat
that shit up
undata: why wouldn't I expect Americans
to choose
their own Putin
