asciilifeform: !Q later tell mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-09#1870382 >>> becomes >>> http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/K1Ug1/?raw=true ( plaintxt ) ☝︎
Mocky: asciilifeform, I was almost a III but my mom won that argument
BingoBoingo: Well, normally when I think Jews I think more urban locations
asciilifeform: living off da fat O'da << d00d oughta consider new career, of beggar an' petty thief in e.g. calcutta. at least there could steal actual food, and not 'protein bar'
asciilifeform: i dun recall talmud prohibiting having 'normal sized yard' lol
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: These were some pretty atypical jews. Lived a 15 minute drive from town in house with normal town sized yard surrounded by farm on all sides
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile in the hard luck files: https://archive.is/o0tiw Dude had his thing living off da fat O'da land. Then he hitchhiked in a cop car.
asciilifeform: then again iirc only if the elder is alive
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: interesting; it was my understanding that the j00z frown on I,II,IIIism
BingoBoingo: In the pantsuit sense of the term
BingoBoingo: III made it to college, the Hillel house took him in and now III R economist
BingoBoingo: Well, II was a train conductor and him and his wife were about as 70's white trash stereotype as could be in the 1990's
diana_coman: that sounds like the "we can haz dinastyyy 2"
BingoBoingo: I don't recall a IV, at least that advertised it, but I knew a Jewish kid with a III affixed
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I'd suspect the Ioan is simply because of church slavonic, yes
asciilifeform: also lulzily, some of the groups in usa have this custom, but they also affix numbers, e.g. i knew a few folx who 'III', and at least 1 fella who 'IV'
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, hm, I knew also the approach odd/even generations i.e. same name as grandfather rather than father; onth closer home it was meant to be more like same name as godfather but whatevers
asciilifeform: ( possibly result of 'acute orthodoxy of the central nervous system'(tm) ? )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'ioan' sounds like an attempt to oldslavonic
mircea_popescu: ng thing as "ioan".
a111: Logged on 2016-08-03 15:40 phf: the whole font changes meaning take two is coming from the japanese. they were actively promoting this idea back during early unicode standardization days, where there was a strong drive to include every idiosyncratic version of kanji in the standard, because "that's how my family writes it in our last name".
mircea_popescu: before i forget : re http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-03#1513931 this item can be exemplared in ro, also. sane clans used the same name for the firstborn, my father was mircea like my grandfather ; but some used vocalic alternation for incomprehensible reason, so the above linked guy's son wasn't ion but "ioan". which is a thoroughly imaginary halph diphtong nonsense ~specifically created for the purpose~. there's no such fucki ☝︎
asciilifeform: i'ma write to him ☟︎
asciilifeform: nfi. he showed up in the glue traps.
mircea_popescu: let's say i only know the well established clans of the 80s ; maybe this guy 1st gen intellectual ?
asciilifeform: i was almost at the point where 'it's 5 people and mircea_popescu knows'em all' lol
a111: Logged on 2018-11-01 00:57 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ubb = universitatea babes bolyay. cluj item. old man andreica's son was at teh politechnic. diff school.
mircea_popescu: i realise the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-01#1868214 came as clear sky thunderbolt / supports the notion romania's like 5 people large... but still not all romanians know each other keks ☝︎
mircea_popescu: Mocky it's mostly slander anyway, as it stands it does that "recalculating" less than 1% of the time.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu do you know this fella ? http://dan.corlan.net 'Alexandru-Dan Corlan, MD, PhD' 'stochastic models of patient evolution and pharmacologic response' 'high performance computing and programming in R, Ada and CommonLisp' ☟︎
Mocky: i think i'm going to fal backto sleep now
a111: Logged on 2018-10-22 20:35 asciilifeform: was speaking of where it recalculates what is by all rights a 100% constant value, 9000 times/hr, eternally
Mocky: hard pills to swallow, but i'm going to have to choke down the php and the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-22#1865105 because I don't want to spend the time to bake the actually moving pieces ☝︎
Mocky: no bloghack, lacks the normal actually useful things
mircea_popescu: Mocky ftr the item discussed had neither of those misfeatures.
mircea_popescu: because you know, bidirectional linkage fundamental property of proper hypertext and all that...
Mocky: of course 'smart toasting' was the opposite of smart ☟︎
Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-08#1870186 >> I had a toaster with cancel button a few years ago was just this. Once you add the 'feature' of smart toasting whereby turning the knob after toasting has started has no effect and then once you further add the feature that the lift handle is mechanically locked down and can't be lifted during the cycle, then yes, once you accept those things you then 'need' the red button ☝︎
Mocky: just waking up now from 7 hour nap. it's mid morning back in qatar, where's the sun? :D
Mocky: my flight left at 1am local time and I wasn't able to sleep on either flight. was up for 42 hours
deedbot: http://thewhet.net/2018/11/ingenohl-the-anti-chucker/ << The Whet - Ingenohl, the Anti-Chucker
trinque: http://161.0.121.250 << hey all, opened up a public toilet for txn. probably doesn't even work. enjoy!
mod6: Hey, thanks for the info lobbes. GL with the dentist.
lobbes: thanks trinque
a111: Logged on 2017-04-12 22:11 mircea_popescu: on the long term this pressure kills them as sure as sugar.
lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-12#1642735 << relatedly, to add anecdotal evidence to this thread I can confirm: do not try and tempt fate by leaving these suckers in.. it feels like a vice-grip has been slowly tightening on my skull for the last few weeks.. ☝︎
lobbes: in other news: I'm going to be getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth yanked out tomorrow. While I'll be near my terminal, I may be out of commission for a few days. I'll be following the logs as usual (assuming I'm not knocked out from pain meds)
lobbes: In other words, order history (along with all top bids, etc.) is preserved whether you !Xcancel or just let the auction run its course.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-08 15:51 mod6: i can see that arg, asciilifeform. lobbes are you opposed to an !Xclose <auction_number> : which would accept the current highest bid? mircea_popescu, et. al. is this a good idea?
lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-08#1870228 << the way !Xcancel works right now 'behind the scenes' is that it inserts the <auction_number> into the "closed" table. This isn't much different than when an auction "resolves" normally (<auction_number> also inserted into same table), the only difference is that the bot doesn't "announce" a winner when !Xcancel is used ☝︎
BingoBoingo: One of the people with an oddly Dutch appearing name
asciilifeform: ( or whoever the fuck is the current gavin, i've lost track of the concretes )
asciilifeform: subhuman is typically 'programmed' with '3ring' formulary binder, and we aint in it
mircea_popescu: not the kind that can actually respond to salutations tho. ("too much pressure").
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as close as practicable, yes, bearing in mind however they use excel scripts.
mircea_popescu: the way of the web is "have people talk into the bag", tv minds tryna hard to re-create tv out of the information superhighway truck.
mircea_popescu: i'd be surprised if, over the entirety of conde nast "portofolio", there's a man-day per day of actual attention available. http://trilema.com/2015/okcupidcom-the-dating-site/#selection-45.141-45.160 is in no different shape, and none of the smaller spamfarms differ in any sense.
asciilifeform: ( even phuctor made it into some ru thing 1ce )
asciilifeform: i'dve naively thought that of 31 fishwraps , at least 1 is not fully retarded
a111: Logged on 2018-10-27 17:17 hanbot: mod6, ben_vulpes, et al: nicoleci sent 31 emails (as per http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-13#1861765 ) to various news outlets last night, and will report any replies here. i expect more mail to go out this week, will update.
asciilifeform was reading recent http://summaries.logs.esthlos.com , and ran into the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-27#1866726 item; curious, did anybody answer these ? ☝︎
bvt: asciilifeform: thanks. radix-64 (gpg ascii armor) is pretty similar to the RFC base64, so changes to the code will be minimal.
deedbot: asciilifeform updated rating of bvt from 1 to 2 << adatronics
a111: Logged on 2018-11-01 20:53 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: happens to be exactly what i set out to; on top of that, even got a gpg extractor (currently in py, but slated for adaization) , precisely for same
asciilifeform: bvt: the base64 thing will come in very handy for http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-01#1868643 item ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-11-08 17:40 asciilifeform: btw, diana_coman were you able in the end to make sense of the http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2675 proof ? ( mircea_popescu's s.mg broadcast implies that yes -- but thought i oughta ask conceretely )
bvt: hello, i have finally genesised the ada base64 lib: http://bvt-trace.net/2018/11/base64-genesis/
BingoBoingo: And in breaking news, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's ribs. She's on the wrong side of 85... Trump is probably getting a third Supreme Court nominee soon.

mod6: Nice, thank you, Sir. :]
mod6: Sounds like a deal, thanks a ton jurov!
mod6: Any other objections to this? asciilifeform, BingoBoingo ?
mod6: We will be using the same price amount per BTC:
mod6: I thought we had it covered with the two previous auctions, but jurov thankfully noted that we'd have been short.
mod6: Yes, that's correct. I didn't put in the correct amount.
jurov: We checked our notes and it came out that exact amount needed for pizarro datacenter payment is $2934.06 USD. The auction was intended for this amount, not just "$2k". Am i right mod6 BingoBoingo?
mircea_popescu: things work themselves out.
mircea_popescu: yes, well, in that case "i'm busy tomorrow" would carry a lot less water.
asciilifeform: could be, i suppose, bigger headache , if auction were for the graf zeppelin, rather than some lunchmoney
a111: Logged on 2018-11-08 15:50 asciilifeform: imho letting auction carry on even tho the auctioned item already left the house , is playing with fire
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-08#1870226 << what's the fire, you'll be stuck with, in the worst case, two items ? you can use them. ☝︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'm sorta used to the 'eek', having a daytime saecular work that happens 100% in sewer
diana_coman: quite! and unfortunately I'll still have the works in the sewer in parallel for quite a while
mircea_popescu: mod6 you can close it prematurely by convention, i guess. there's good reason not to have a dedicated button, however.
diana_coman: fwiw those past few days I had to get back to some C/CPP code and there was this funny moment where I read some code adding 2 vars of different types and my mind went instantly eeeek
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform many things are "partially reversible". phb hanging over table ends up with necktie pulled in. reversible up to the isadora duncan moment.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: so far the only place i've used it, is c glue
asciilifeform: jurov: yay! ty!
asciilifeform: type cast is the single most dangerous operation there is ( second only to pointerism, and notice how ada makes the latter extremely painful ) hence the thing forces you to 'measure 7 times, cut 1ce'
asciilifeform: when you do this kind of thing, you gotta make sure that the proggy behaves correctly regardless of what rubbish may have been put into the octet form that gets transformed to the record. ( possibly this is obvious, but imho bears restating )
diana_coman: I'll play a bit with those unchecked unions too though, I hadn't looked at them
asciilifeform: diana_coman: it's safe (i.e. endianism-proof) if you actually nail down the layout of the record (see barnes re how)
diana_coman: in this particular case the unchecked conversion still makes more sense to me
diana_coman: I still can't quite see the reason to make a stream in order to write a known-size record to a known-size array of octets though
asciilifeform: there's exactly 2 ways to do it -- the above conversion mechanisms, or the stream (read nqb to see how) . cuz transmutation of data types is a specifically dangerous act, that is deliberately not made easy in ada
diana_coman: that's the thing: wherever I turned re serialization it kept pushing the streams, hence my earlier "it seems I have to use streams,eurgh"
asciilifeform: according to the 'rationale' document, serialization is ~the~ reason why streams are even a thing
asciilifeform: but as for the q of 'can haz this without any smell of c sulfur' , the answr is no, because entire concept is slightly antithetical to adaism, and so you gotta 'cheat' at least a little in order to permit it.
asciilifeform: i suppose the 3rd way would be to write simple serializer ( that uses System.Address and yourthing'Size ) to turn your record type into (and out of) the requisite # of octets, and compartmentalize all of the System.Address'ism in 1 module. i have something quite similar to this in my mmap lib.
diana_coman: hm, I kept thinking for some reason that there was a 3rd way (i.e. NOT streams and not unchecked) but I just did not see it; I'll have a look at the unchecked unions
