Apocalyptic: othernubs`, nevermind, was gonna compare
to
the last commit on 0.6.2 which somehow showed me
to be in 2011
BingoBoingo: <othernubs`> compact disc
took most of
the basic colors << Oreilly and pick an animal
Apocalyptic: <othernubs`> if you're going 0.6 you might as well do 0.6.3 // funny
thing is, last commit on 0.6.3 is Jun 19, 2012
othernubs`: compact disc
took most of
the basic colors
TheNewDeal: mircea_popescu:
there's not enough lsd in
the world... << agreed
othernubs`: we'll need
to put a color name on
this
mircea_popescu: you know, just like, "what % of gas station are selling
the new gas ?" "dunno, but what % of cars use it ?"
othernubs`: asciilifeform, v6.pdf appears
to be using straight-up courier bold for code
mircea_popescu: what's next, bitcoin foundation is not a scam parasitizing
this space but an actual representative ?
decimation: over
time
the distros will be convinced
mircea_popescu: but
the notion
that .9 is "bitcoin" is laughable on its face.
mircea_popescu: usgavin can make usbitcoin, or
they can have gavin & mike's extra special bitcoin-identical flavouring "i can't believe it's not blockchain"
mircea_popescu: decimation: which is why a hardfork with a different name is necessary, so
the n00bs can be educated << no.
the name is bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: which'd be
the earliest
that would interoperate with
the majority of extant nodes? << last hard fork was
to .4, so
technically anything. but i'd say a .6 something'd be
the best choice.
mircea_popescu: decimation: does he? is
there a repo? <<
there's no repo.
mircea_popescu: after all, if usgavin wants a fork, he can have a fork, what's
the big deal.
mircea_popescu: namely, eulora, btc,
there';s a lot of work
to do, and it's paid.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: what is
this, late bettor hour? <<< asciilifeform will keep his bet now.
othernubs`: all
the news
that's fit
to print and none
that's not
othernubs`: i want a list of files req'd
to build a minimal working install
ben_vulpes: yeah i'll
take free credit for no work
othernubs`: if anyone's interested in being immortalized in
the
thank-yous, let me know
othernubs`: so if we're going with 0.6.0, i'm gonna need
to know what's required and what's not for a minimum build
ben_vulpes: hussling? is
this some odd mix of hassling and hustling?
BingoBoingo: othernubs`: Well if you get
this set up I may eventually want a copy.
othernubs`: BingoBoingo, almost sounds like you're footing
the bill :)
BingoBoingo: othernubs`: Well.. you gotta
think centuries instead of decades
mod6: it's
trivial. you'll lul
ben_vulpes: functional inputs vastly more important
though
mod6: <+ben_vulpes> mod6: let me know what style inputs you have << once
tested, will do!
BingoBoingo: braille punched out of
teflon seems super from a machine readable perspective
too.
othernubs`: pro inks on acid-free paper lasts quite a while
too
BingoBoingo: othernubs`: Just
think of all of
that longetivity
though...
othernubs`: BingoBoingo,
tyvek is possible with our setup, but golden-toilet-y
mircea_popescu: lol @the silbert
thing and generally bitpay's derpage. seriously,
they
think
they're going
to compete with us as a closed source usg-agent ?
mod6: yeah,
that was pre-DBD
tho iirc.
mod6: the only fork should be rolling back
to pre-powerranger derpitude.
too bad about atc
tho.
BingoBoingo would like
to see more books made of
Tyvek and similar
mod6: ben_vulpes: in
the sense
that "this looks like it works" :}
ben_vulpes: mod6: lol "functional" as in
the programming style or "functional" in
that "kinda sorta mebbe works"
mod6: yea! remember
that?! he was all "NO ONE SEND ANY COINZ!!!111 ROLL BACK!"
mircea_popescu: and, exactly like described in
the quoted
thing, idiots and imbeciles on reddit will congratulate him for "having saved" bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: i mean, not like either him or hearn quit after
the previous failed fork debacle.
mircea_popescu: mod6
the funny
thign is
that it'll fail, and he'll still bitch and pretend like he's involved in bitcoin
assbot: USGavin,
the lolcow pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
othernubs`: BingoBoingo, asciilifeform
the paper i've got in mind is almost precisely double
the weight of standard white bond paper, acid-free, archival quality, semi-gloss finish, 98 brightness
decimation: my good bible is printed on very
thin but weirdly strong paper.
thin paper is nice, in
the sense
that it
tends
to lie flat
TheNewDeal: I am catching up
the logs, which is why I brought it up
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> glossy, indestructible. << long
term problem with glossy paper is it
tends
to flake.. Not just ink, but white surface...
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal well it;s in
the log, but anyway, guy goes "we're doing x with a b c and d". since b worked on x' 5 years ago and x' went nowhere after initial enthusiasm, a reasonable probing.
decimation: ben_vulpes:
that's a helpful blog (your summary of major changes)
TheNewDeal: Gotcha, was curious why
the connection was established
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal: mircea_popescu was
that AdamIRaway guy really a developer in
the MMADX platform? << i have no idea. he said no. one of
the guys he lists as associates was involved with it.
othernubs`: you have any other paper of known make
to compare it
to?
ben_vulpes: pull
the latest from cascadianhacker.com if you'd be so kind
ben_vulpes: mod6: i'd be
thrilled if you'd
test it for me. i've been
testing it against an amazon image, but more eyes etc etc etc
joecool: i have a copy of
that around, is
there a way
to
test?
mod6: im gonna build up a vm of
this and give your script a
try: debian-6.0.10-amd64-CD-1.iso
othernubs`: asciilifeform,
the library's closed, care
to stab a guess at
the paper weight in k&r?
ben_vulpes: mod6: it's what was in production during
that 0.5.3 release
othernubs`: you have a preference for
thicker or
thinner?
mod6: ben_vulpes: <+mod6> any reason for deb 6 and not
the latest?
othernubs`: right now i'm
thinking like folio size,
that may change
othernubs`: decimation, it's not bad for large sheets.
thinner paper rips
