lobbes: mircea_popescu: seeing as these were fence post errors, I'm going to get some sleep and cut this again with a fresh head. I'll get that dump to you tomorrow (with just the fix to the months)
mircea_popescu: aite, im stopping this. restate your thing properly! by which i mean, fix this one thing ; don't fix the rest of the issues, i've as you've seen meanwhile written bash around it.
ossabot: Logged on 2016-04-02 00:26:08 deedbot-: [Daniel P. Barron] Count me as thick, I dun see the connection. - http://danielpbarron.com/2016/count-me-as-thick-i-dun-see-the-connection/
lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-12-04#1954217 << the line_ids are monotonic yes, but not related to date (it is just a line count). As for the date, I took your http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-12-04#1954217 to mean that exactly
dorion_road: If so, take mapping the uefi-{1,2} partition as the starting point. The specifications are here.
dorion_road: as it turns out, it seems to my eye that it'd suit you well, given, e.g., the low level firmware work you're doing. do you want it ?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-29 03:43:59 spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-27#1953704 <-- not sure what'd be the best fit, tbh. I'm an odd one, spent years studying the theory re os and systems in general. but as far as actual work goes, other than my public work, I've been doing mostly maintenance (bugfixing, a bit of feature development) for linux kernels driving custom hardware/schedulers/netwo
diana_coman: but I found it increasingly apt to describe those, as I grew up, indeed.
mircea_popescu: i never heard that one before. is it fuse, past participle to be ? or is it fu & se separately as location ?
BingoBoingo: Well, the pulp revolution let the poor, the stupid, and the old indulge in fantasies of derps like themselves coping with the occasional Gibs ex Machina "validating" them as important.
mircea_popescu: sure, "it can be compressed". HOWEVER, compress as you will, two an' a half raw terrabytes throughput will wear a ssd enough to be noticeable. and then the next day comes, and soon enough nobody wants to buy a new ssd each other week for EACH CAM
mircea_popescu: the cameras everywhere are there for stupid old women to shut the fuck up already, they don't really do so much -- in the rare instances they actually have film. which -- it's fuckingexpensive, the camera revolution happened just as the ssds came in. do the math if you will :
diana_coman: yeah, would give some idea as to what it is; given I took out any check on email field now anyway, I'd really want a screenshot if it happens again! lolz
mircea_popescu: i don't really know anyone who both a) is technically literate and b) thinks post 2015 intel chips are actually worth money, as it happens. a situation eerily reminiscent of every other socialism's progress, late sovok folk similarily didn't think late sovok artefacts worth deploying.
mircea_popescu: getting concrete details on this partition would certainly help, as a starting point.
mircea_popescu: there;s at least one major separation in the uefi latrine (plenty others, of course, the thing's fractally broken), which fortunately occured just about that moment in time when intel chips became thoroughly useless. so not supporting uefi-2, "must have to work" is relatively a small loss, as it goes with the shitty spycore intel chips anyways, which nobody wants (though might be tolerated in some roles for cheapness' sake
jfw: But what do you put in its place? Reversing boards was tough enough as I gather even before the standard fritz chips
mircea_popescu: the nsa is firmly entrenched in controlling that sweet, sweet path to diff power analysis, they've glued it thoroughly with all the broken glass of "energy efficiency" faux ourdemocracy preoccupations, it strikes me as one of the things that'll only dislodge once the emperor himself is rapemeat.
dorion_road: I am working on a work plan for myself for the next week(s). I will publish as an article this week when ready.
dorion_road: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-12-01#1954016 << ok, thanks for the update. please provide your updated expected date of delivery as soon as it becomes clearer to you what the situation is. as mircea_popescu notes, perhaps you turn up something cool.

BingoBoingo: It is a small sadness that it looks like I'll be leaving Uruguay just as it starts to get interesting, but... the local vandals don't seem to have discovered how to make "ninja rocks" outta ceramic insulators.
BingoBoingo: In other joys of the 4 month transition until the new government comes in March 1st... The outgoing government is declining to do their annual inflation based adjustments to the various rates charged by the state monopolies... after the price of beef at the carnicerías climbed ~70% for "asado de tira" this year. Backdoor welfare as only dollar economies pretending to be their own peso economies can manage.
BingoBoingo: Last I looked into it they brought at a minimum an additional ~GB of RAM consumption and ~2-50% of CPU utilization as a "Don't copy this floppy" deterrent that forces everyone to download the version with that shit cut out.
mircea_popescu: then i was going to say something like : lobbes, can you get me the result of <? ?> and give out php code to dump directly, but I notice things such as "<br><table>" as article headings, instead of the correct <table style="font-size:1em;width:580px;">" and so i assume the middle <td> doesn't carry the required class="breakup" either.
billymg: i've been following along as much as possible, still keeping the same timeline for the actual transition
diana_coman: come to think of it, it makes perhaps more sense to note that the 30 minutes worth of changes should in fact be correctly expressed as at least an hour worth of write-up; basically I had too little write-up to justify a vpatch!
diana_coman: it's mpwp that does same thing in two different ways; all I do is to conform to its different ways; and no; in db the comment_type is (as I checked) with 3 distinct values: empty string, "trackback" or "pingback"
mircea_popescu: as the man said, "you wanted me to design a typeface, it takes 10 minutes + a lifetime dedicated to preparing for those 10 minutes"
mircea_popescu: now, that time shouldn't be excessive ; but 20 minutes hardly strikes me as excessive, dunno, is the argument here ?
diana_coman: the grating thing being also that the only alternative I see would be "drop it in the logs/blog" as a clue/how-to and then keep searching for it or something.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: mno, it's not just a matter of "tools were not set out properly"; tools were set out and there was no time lost gathering them or whatever; yes, there is some inevitable delay when using key, for obv reason but by now that part is as streamlined as it can currently be.
diana_coman: should add that I think the problem is relatively superficial ie one of tools as they currently stand, not one of principles.
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-29#1953885 - tbh I think we do; I've been mulling this for a while ie I'm not happy with the full V setup as it is - at least as it is for me currently - but so far it never made it to the front to push for some solution.
lobbes: in other news bracket linking now functional in mpwp logger. Tip of the hat again to asciilifeform, as I ended up lifting his bracket linking code verbatim from the reader.py
mircea_popescu: this is lubby, at the root of it. look through the log for it, and then read the math. but it's not just math ; it's one of those places where philosophy masquerades as science.
mircea_popescu: jfw, after all, if q = a + b and p = a + c and r = b + c then q + p - r = 2a. if as are addresses and qs are wallets, one needn't ~declare~ his wallet to count his money.
jfw: The necessary index would be large if history is included, perhaps on the order of the existing ones (blkindex.dat), but omitting it strikes me as rather a premature optimization by satoshi.
diana_coman: ah, could be but if I get to that, might as well fix the recent comments too or it ain't worth the gpged, lol.
diana_coman: I guess so; but I meant it more as in why default in the genesised mpwp; anyways, perhaps billymg makes a patch to take those out of there and to put also trackbacks/pingbacks as last in comments (I've fixed this on my blog only a few days ago but by default they mix in comments too)
mircea_popescu: in the original idiot prototype trackbacks function as a sort of assonaut social interaction, the transcription online of the weird talking into the air eyes averted thing they do.
spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-27#1953704 <-- not sure what'd be the best fit, tbh.

spyked: what happened is that the comments prolly got queued as they came, then they got sent in the reverse order.
spyked: well, it doesn't look at comment numbering or anything. also, it doesn't make any distinction between comments and posts, it's just feed entries, as per the spec

mircea_popescu: as they say, the one common element of all your relationships is...
jfw: there is ugly complexity in gcc to support this multitude of systems, such as 'fixincludes' and of course autoconf
jfw: The split existed historically in that they developed as separate projects; gcc works with multiple c libraries as musl works with multiple compilers. Perhaps mircea_popescu is inquiring into a deeper question of whether it's right to maintain the split (presently - I've no idea)
jfw: Besides proprietary GPU drivers there are other "traditional Linux" things not likely to run on musl with any amount of futzing, such as compiled non-static binaries (proprietary apps, the Adacore GNAT distribution) and "enterprisey" thinks like authentication plugins; I can't speak to whether we should care about these.
dorion_road: To expand what I'm thinking re userland, the choice as far as I see is between stage3 via Cuntoo or Busybox a la Gales + whatever addons are not included in Busybox.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-11-26 19:49:58 dorion_road: lobbes the understanding ebuilds self-assignment is a good starting point in the meantime as the strategy clarifies. How about you explain them to yourself in the form of a blog article(s) ?
dorion_road: trinque, bvt highlighted you there as well, your input would be appreciated.
BingoBoingo: To put the contrast differently. As a trade, datacenter tech is portable. A datacenter tech does his work and follows opportunities like an oilfield roughneck. A customer service manager enters a carrera in the Latino sense of it being a race. It's a race to either move up in the organization of move from organization to organization while staying in front of rot that accumulates in other aspects of the business.

mircea_popescu: a project's in some trouble when management's technically above the actual engineers for chrissakes. and yes, the whole point of even having a republic is fine high escalation, so as to be able to deal well with insanely difficult rare problems.
dorion_road: For fundamental strategy decisions such as the static linking knot, I'm really going to have to lean heavily on the technical expertise here.
dorion_road: lobbes the understanding ebuilds self-assignment is a good starting point in the meantime as the strategy clarifies. How about you explain them to yourself in the form of a blog article(s) ?
jfw: (as dorion_road suggests)
jfw: diana_coman: that needs to be done, yes; I suppose I'd have to do this as my morning writing, if you'd be ok with that
dorion_road: jfw wallet is top priority this week. can you get a start on your Gales writing as part of the time you have allocated for writing.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-26 00:43:50 lobbes: fwiw, as I understood it the plan was trinque would be managing spyked and myself on the livecd/usb work, starting in Dec

And as discussed with spyked, the limited time could provide a good pressure to keep it productive.
mircea_popescu: but anyways, a lot of this "it's just numbers" attitude since the innumerate have been "no kid left behind"'d into everyone's processes. then once cats finally join the fray as fully franchised theirdemocracy voters &c, it'll be "whatever, it's just calendars" and so on.
mircea_popescu: "your two hours worth of nothing in particular still make you just as good as say that cuck derp dad's age -- think, he never made a major version revision, but you did! you're so cool...!!!"
mircea_popescu: whereas for the generation ingoing with the sept that never ended, their exactly just as deeply rooted precisely equal fear of its own inconsequence and inadequacy manifested as version number inflation, with which printing press to pay off on the hopes&dreams of a team of retards. simple monetization of the sacred cows of the previous generation, really, which is how neoprotestantism ever works.

mircea_popescu: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-26#1953547 << the thing you're quoting doesn't match the structure of a thing that may be quoted as the basis for "i understood" in this context, because it's the innard of a loop rather than the return of the level-adequate conditional block.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-26 00:45:11 lobbes: anyways, why not have dorion come in as the day-to-day manager, with trinque in a more advisory/consultant role? I thought this was more or less the original plan to begin with tbh

mircea_popescu: and in other anglo lulz : searches for "teen whores" return naught but, well, porn. as you'd expect. "~teenage~ whores" searches, however, return nothing but retards ranting about how their kids shouldn't suck the cock or whatever usgistani neoprotestant nonsense.
mircea_popescu: as opposed to gentoo whatever, you mean ?
BingoBoingo: Whatever the hell GCC wreckers were doing while they iterated their first digit up to 9 as Stallman mushroomed, there is no fucking way it can be considered improvement.
BingoBoingo: jfw: Good. I was checking out some Linux distros as part of the housecleaning, and everything later than 4 is hopeless. The chopped up 0.7.2 bitcoin client I use... sits in ~1.3 GB of RAM on GCC4 linux. Precariously sits in 4-ish GB RAM on GCC6 linux before exploding. Clang, and GCC later than 6, seem impossible.
jfw: mircea_popescu: could be, indeed; I'll keep mine in the queue for publishing as that may help clarify.

diana_coman: dorion_road: I'm sure there will be no problem to discuss those as soon as mircea_popescu gets back to his terminal too.
dorion_road: I don't dispute the noteed [junior management status, but am keen to demonstrate the bootstrapping people process, as BB puts it.
mircea_popescu: i shall be leaving for istanbul / isfahan / lebanon / cairo / tipoli / tunis etc (unless i decide to go luxor and so on from there) in another week or two. i wanted, like a sane fucking person, to have things arranged and in working order by then, and indeed -- removing logging from the inept if stupid hands of "the community" looks like it'll be done, as per above. removing coding from the inept if stupid hands of the
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-25 02:09:09 lobbes: I've only a few trivial cosmetic changes to make at this point (e.g. I'm going to add those [http://trilema.com/2019/forum-logs-for-12-jan-2012/#comment-132433][reference links on the timestamps), as well as the line echo
diana_coman: as I was going yesterday through my blog's archives, ~all of the links to .ro are dead; life on the internets is short apparently.
lobbes: I've also got the Malaysia server provisioned as of this time. I've ssh-ed into the box, but that is about it. I will get the remainder of the LAMP stack installed tomorrow methinks.

jfw: mircea_popescu: this has not gone through as yet. Possibly it's waiting on your !!v
BingoBoingo: Anyways, I'll start cranking up the pre-emptive photography on the assumption low energy crowds could be misrepresented in hostile press as pink color revolutions.
BingoBoingo missed the attack on the bus. Did check out the crowd but wrote it off as low energy.
mircea_popescu: or like the naggum quotes and so on. but yeah, as far as contributions go, early 2010s period "bitcoin community" is exactly the collection of spurious & idle retards it stayed throughout.
mircea_popescu: annoying as fuck for a coupla days, but other than that... yeah.

mircea_popescu: as in, "do you have your reservations ?" "o boy howdy do i! i have reservations about everything!!!" "right this way please, you'll fit right in!"
mircea_popescu: i guess this is a point, not so much walled gardens as padded reservations.
BingoBoingo: I far as I can tell the space narrowed to 1. Folks developing for fondleslabs 2. Folks developing for Chrome/Chromium/Webkit 3. Folks developing from the increasingly fractured 3Dgame/steam space and settling for whatever nintendos call themselves today
hanbot: anyway nicoleci is on a semi-public toilet sorta scheme, iirc, as she works towards understanding why she'd rather not be
BingoBoingo: nicoleci: I've long ago settled on XFCE as my balance between "sometime point and click offload pressure on my brainbox" versus "I don't want to subject myself to engineers constantly breaking everything"
