erlehmann: in my opinion, having python and sqlites as dependencies is
a massive no-go for
a build system.
erlehmann: second: “i have written
a redo implementation, does it work correctly?”, i again lost him. he suggested to meet at
a place at
a time during the conference and i thought i knew the place but apparently i erred because there was no place with the name i thought he had said.
erlehmann: i suspect he has at least
a prototype, but he has never published it. reason: i found dofiles in some stuff about elliptic curves.
phf: does djb have
a working redo implementation or it's just
a concept paper?
phf: when you have
a hammer
erlehmann: regarding redo: needing dependencies is not limited to compiling programs. datasets are also something. i build my website with redo. i have managed converted media files with redo. i would not want to wait hours for the re-encoding of each file every time i rebuild
a web site.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-03 00:35 erlehmann: asciilifeform do you have an opinion on DJB redo? or maybe even
a simpler design? i would only trust my own implementation and MAYBE the one from jonathan de boyne pollard (although he requires
a C++ compiler as
a dependency, lol)
erlehmann: phf i hope this change flies without
a vpatch, should be evident it is not malicious
phf: but that makes copy pasting harder (you can't just select
a chunk, because it now includes line numbers and blame)
phf: well that was
a bad example because the file is all genesis
phf: for sure, btcbase is probably the most aggressive, because there's
a very restricted state machine for parsing, but there's still some ambiguity in recognition that's an artifact of diff/patch being dodgy
erlehmann: v looks like
a nice approach as far as i can see (and is the reason i chose to join #trilema), but as i commented, i suspect there exist parser differentials
phf: there's
a handful of those, for example in the experimental there's three patches from polarbeard,
a guy who joined as we were regriding
a bunch of shit, so he had to update his patches
a bunch of times and then gave up. nobody cared to reintegrate his patches properly yet

☟︎ phf: i actually patched it in the offline, but haven't had
a chance to update the deployment
erlehmann: ah funny, it does not work with
a slash at the end
erlehmann: as
a free-software enthusiast myself, i have managed to experience many invitations to “netflix and chill” entirely without netflix. freedoms preserved!
erlehmann: >
A friend once asked me to watch
a video with her that she was going to display on her computer using Netflix. I declined, saying that Netflix was such
a threat to freedom that I felt uncomfortable with promoting its use in this way.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-16 23:36 asciilifeform: leaving entirely aside the question of whether ice40 can in fact be made to do anything useful with the 'open' toolchain discussed earlier, or whether
a toolchain that required clang, llvm, and ten other poetteringesque abortions is 'open'
erlehmann: i once met rms at
a conference and asked him about viability of free hardware. his answer was along the lines of 1. apparently non-free hardware has worked for decades 2. whoever makes your board can still subvert your trustworthy design, you can't check that 3. maybe if we have star-trek-style replicators one day, hahaha
a111: Logged on 2014-12-11 01:52 asciilifeform: decimation: notice that all known fpga manufacturers (xilinx, altera, lattice,
a few others) have the same business model
a111: Logged on 2015-06-17 13:17 asciilifeform: you can pick up
a textbook and write
a dram controller for fpga from first principles - and it won't work. because, for starters, only
a small number of output cells in the chip can function on both rising and falling edge of clock cycle (what 'ddr' means) and only xilinx's closed turd knows where they are in the routing fabric;
erlehmann: i think it is unlikely that
a non-self-built keyboard can do most things relevant to daily usage in hardware. especially layers, mod keys and compose.
erlehmann: well, in my experience it takes max. three weeks to learn
a layout.
erlehmann: asciilifeform i guess you cannot control your computing experience? the answer from the boss of my boss to “can i install linux on the macbook to get
a sane keyboard layout” was “got it, you get
a thinkpad”
phf: well, that was
a while ago (i switched back almost
a decade ago), but even now more so now i spend
a lot of time, working on other people's machines (i.e. developers that are stuck or need help or whatever)
erlehmann: same for OS X, apparently. my boss told me he tried to use it there and it was
a pain due to something i cannot remember.
erlehmann: dear diary, yesterday
a person on IRC asked me if i am jealous after i referred to ethereum as
a scam again. jealous, i asked. yes, she answered, jealous of people who invest in cryptocurrencies!
☟︎ mod6: ah, ok. can do, i did get
a breadboard.
mircea_popescu: looks like maybe it's summed up over
a sampling interval or such ?
mod6: i used the sheilds for gnd this time, feel like im learning
a bit, thanks for the help.
mod6: it's not
a square wave tho.
mod6: i've since, just wanna look at the clock, see if i've got it hooked up right. i've got probe on channel one connected to 'clk' pin. probe's crock is attached to
a lead coming off 'gnd' pin.
mod6: mircea_popescu: just kinda takin
a look at things, nothing in particular. educational.
mod6: i gotta take
a pic here i think, but yah, two distinct different wave patterns.
mod6: im more... using it as
a vehicle to learn how to scope.
mod6: this scope has
a usb port, so i dropped in the USB to see if I can get the output saved on there. gotta rtfm i think
mircea_popescu: self important little cunts. what the everloving fuck, "look at me, i live without
a roof, WE HAVE DEPRECATED ROOVES!!11"
mircea_popescu: o i know, let's plead like
a little bitch, that'll do something.
ben_vulpes: "perhaps outlawing masculinity is
a bad idea?"
mircea_popescu: but if i had to guess i'd say
a larger % of all-wealth-controlled-by-russians belongs to "criminals" and "terrorists" than is the case of the us.
mircea_popescu: the populace had to have
a clear statement of its fault, and punishment comensurate. this is what government is.
mircea_popescu: this was 1896. the REASON 1917 happened was that nicholas was
a fucktard in 1896.
mircea_popescu: but nicholas was just ascending, it wasn't his fucking fault alexander was
a faggot.
mircea_popescu: sure, once you have 500`000 dead bodies in
a pile it's time to build
a new church and beg forgiveness for having let things get this far.
mircea_popescu: generally speaking, homebrew nationalism is ~worst thing that can happen to
a country. way worse than foreign invasion.
mircea_popescu: young people are going to be stupid, this is
a given. might as well deal with the naive than with the millitantly idiotic.
mircea_popescu: they really don't have much of
a clue. happy go lucky sort of tree dwellers.
mircea_popescu: "highest level of foreign direct investment per capita of latin maerica", ie,
a fine definition of whether you're poor or not is whether you have
a gf here holding down
a fort.
mircea_popescu: costa rica is
a rich country dood. above ohio below arizona or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: but the scandal exposed
a coupla lulz, such as that the ucr spends 80% (!!!) of its income to pay salaries, and that income is ~500mn
a year.
mircea_popescu: "Once again, while Trump the United States
a smidge closer to The Great Again, but"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> whole piece needs
a re-read, lotta e2l weird in there. << re-read v1

a patek philippe caliber 89 from christie's for $11m. last time it went for $5m in 2009. at that inflation rate obummer bought
a 2009 $4m house, which is
a reasonable upper middle for potomac apparatchiks.
phf: inflation is
a dynamic process, so it's neither
a scalar nor not
a scalar

a ~skilled~ art forger is
a hero second only to
a hypothetical fella who puts an actual bullet through
a bilderberger. why, exactly, should i have any sympathy for the folks hitching
a ride in the only 100% effective inflation shelter known, at the expense of literally everybody else ?

phf: those houses are nifty, because built by sane people until
a contractor gets to "renovate" the interior
phf: oh, i know this area, obama's neighborhood is 5 minutes walking from me, it's all old construction, so not so much
a "mega-house" as
a large&old dc property (apparently made from real stone!1)
phf: i've been to social events at these houses, and they are just glorified mcmansions. i was actually wondering about these mega-houses last time i recently took
a trip to Fallingwater. who now among "the wealthy" is building these kaufmann residences that in 100 years time people will want to visit?

BingoBoingo: One very happy contractor is now
a few hundred bees richer
BingoBoingo imagines alf "porn chick" construction is
a redundant labeling like "covetous Jew"

a "hygenic" box
