☟︎ diana_coman: and to clarify just in case there was any doubt: NO, workers are not meant to loop for ever or any such nonsense; BUT I still can'

diana_coman:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-08#1893756 -> this makes in fact a lot of sense esp given asciilifeform's observation that indeed, that's an unrecoverable error state; so this sounds good: if child task doesn'

mircea_popescu: but i will not stand for this "can'

mircea_popescu: if i can'
t kill threads any time i want, I WILL NEVER SPAWN ANY.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, that's not the fucking question. the question is i don'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: if someone shuts down some procedure i didn'

mircea_popescu: this is fucking ridiculous, you can'

diana_coman: but I can'

diana_coman: (since if they block, they also block the whole thing that is stuck waiting on them and can'
t kill them even)
diana_coman: hm, in possibly interesting ada-bits: apparently "abort" for tasks does not really kill them if /when they are in an infinite loop; according to ada docs I got the idea of "abort-deferred" i.e. in some states it won'
t abort but "infinite loop or waiting for a procedure call to return" did not seem to figure there; in practical terms this means that my workers will have to attempt any Job in a guarded manner i.e. give up on it after some ma

http://archive.is/2AVuL diana_coman: if there's nothing for them to do, they get killed; but not sure what's the point in keeping them idling anyway; i.e. if it's busy then no, they don'
t get killed
mircea_popescu: apache workers ain'
t jobs ; and i took alf's comments to mean "why are you killing them 9k times/s", which is in his usual style of random assumptive approach, nobody said they'd be killed often.
mircea_popescu: it is actually better to have a robust life.death cycle than to pretend like death ain'
t supposed to happen.
mircea_popescu: the problem is, since you can'
t guarantee workers staying up, you'll need a way to create them anyway.
diana_coman: re workers aborting unexpectedly: it shouldn'
t happen, no; but I can'
t rely on it not happening
mircea_popescu: the ustard is that species of moron who imagines anything outside his shithole doesn'

mircea_popescu: his appreciation for culinary virtues of treebark isn'

diana_coman: no idea but according to reports he "looked totally like a satisfied cat and didn'

diana_coman: hm, I'm not even sure he doesn'

mircea_popescu: btw, if anyone cares -- i never had "screentime restrictions" besides a purely oral "would you be reasonable!!!" ; doesn'

mircea_popescu goes to write the last month;'s report. which was going to get done sooner if we didn'

☟︎ trinque: BingoBoingo: sure, makes sense. is the reason I didn'

BingoBoingo: I've made a new stick off of what Gentoo.org advertises as a "2012" build, but Gentoo.org isn'

BingoBoingo: On the other hand my technical director is buried in work, Republican and Saecular. The boot drive we had been using to stand up boxes infrequently as we have... this box doesn'

mircea_popescu is waveriong whether he wants to actually buy an x-pad or can'

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> vaguely relatedly, is there such a thing as a 64 bit laptop that's acceptable as far as anyone knows ? << I don'
t hate the thinkpad x120e, AMD E350 Bobcat chip
mircea_popescu: i never bought one yet, principally because i don'
t know of such a thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what do you have, 1tb or something ? i can'
t imagine it wouldn'
t suffice.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i don'

diana_coman: yes, it has to be here, top of the list if it's tops; it's not "recommend for X's and Y's capabilities" but "recommend for Z topic" , isn'

diana_coman: pitty you didn'

diana_coman: speaking of Barnes' Ada book: it IS very useful and I certainly do go back to it quite often still for all sorts but it still has at times such ideas that I can'
t stand; e.g. "The reader will probably feel that the activation mechanism is somewhat elaborate. However, in practice, the details will rarely need to be considered. They are mentioned in order to show that the mechanism is well defined rather than because of their everyday import

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I suspect it would do you well to carve out some time this week or next to take in the tract on America. The off season devolution models this very much and can'

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i honestly don'

mircea_popescu: i don'

mircea_popescu: so, ultimately, the logic here goes thusly : 1) of all the parts of living animal, i choose spleen to be defined as "only relevant part", arbitrarily. because i really like spleens and i don'

a111: Logged on 2018-09-19 16:22 mircea_popescu: think of the whole opposability angle, will you. 1. alf : "your summaries suck" 2. bimbo "master, is this true ?" now i'm stuck. i'm not going to do a 3.b. "yes, because i like him" and i can'

mircea_popescu: in the sense of, "the only surviving island of non-(engineeridiocy) is this here harem, and further, as part and parcel of my continued and systematic efforts to ensure failure, not only do i perceive this as a substantial lack of everyone else, but instead i'll propose that taking a sufficiently narrow view of the matter, it could almost be said the lacking parts don'
