Mocky: there goes the org chart I was working off.
Mocky: maybe I could talk to this guys boss? but no, complete cabinet reshuffle (announced yesterday?!) including not only new ministers all around, but different titles and responsibilities.
Mocky: aaaand... the air conditioner is out
a111: Logged on 2018-11-05 15:04 asciilifeform: Mocky: sounds like exactly what mircea_popescu was speaking of. see if allah wills that he shows up to his desk..
Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-05#1869564 >> I'm glad I spent the half hour on the phone trying to find out where his desk actually is. His office says that he's out of the country and his calendar is full from the time he gets back until he leaves the country again at the end of November ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Which would have been a shame because it appeared to be a fine energetic young pupper
BingoBoingo: or taxi stand
BingoBoingo: But twice it cut aggressive angles as I had to wonder if my foot was going through its head or was I going to have to seperate its head from its body with the box cutter before walking myself to the emergencia
BingoBoingo: Oh he was doing the thing where he let it run off leash on the dogs prohibited beach, whistling it back.
mircea_popescu: maybe he should add one of those whistling attachments to it.
BingoBoingo: So, during beach walk tonight one of the locals nearly lost a young ~30 pound pit bull

asciilifeform: iirc was originally sold by the same folx who baked http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-08#1859348 item; but naodays chinese, dime a dozen ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( subj, for the innocent , is simply this thing, a sheet of chemical strange that turns green when you push on it with plastic stake 'pencil', and takes a watch battery, so that when you hit red button it turns black again )
asciilifeform: ( that, & no dust or sponge etc )
mod6: *nod* good talk, I gotta step aside and yield the floor. gotta check on these preliminary report numbers.
asciilifeform: it gives this aesthetic
asciilifeform: sorta why i ended up with the electric thing
mod6: I dunno, I love to start on a clean board when thinking through things. Otherwise my brain feels some how cluttered.
asciilifeform: worst thing, they're ~impossible to keep clean
mod6: I would probably use slate + chalk myself if I wasn't so weirdly obsessive about needing to keep the board clean. I'd feel like I'd have to wash it all the time after erasure.
asciilifeform: i dunno why nobody's made one that reads black-on-white
asciilifeform: pretty much a mechanized version of the wax tablets folx used 300yrs ago
asciilifeform: can spend the 10bux an' try it yerself
asciilifeform: what it does is cut the dust.
asciilifeform: used to
mod6: what does the electricity do for ya?
asciilifeform: mod6: i have an electric chalkboard thingie, but they're just barely usable, imho, need pretty bright light
mod6: Yeah, I bought a giant whiteboard just for that purpose.
mod6: Too many things!
mod6: asciilifeform: nice. I really need to get to that. I kinda went through a lot of it while you were working on it - but I really wanna sit down and work through each chapter. Got other things on the stack first tho.
asciilifeform: mod6: rereading own ffa , from opening shot to 11
mod6: Good to hear. Dark and rainy up here. Hope it's better wherever you all are at. :D
mircea_popescu: this was england in the 1920s.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's a something-or-other '-of-women-voters' in usa but afaik it's a straight dnc skin
mircea_popescu: Mass protest meeting organised by the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, the National Federation of Women Workers, the Federation of Women Teachers, the Women's Co-operative Guild, the Association of Women Clerks and Secretaries and the Fabian Women's Group (tbh that was absolutely everyone) to condemn France for the alleged war crimes committed by the Senegalese. If you're there on April 27 '20, make sure to
mircea_popescu: (perhaps pointing out how "the international women's guild" trying to get a sort of geneva convention going banning 4ever and ever smoking^H^H^H^H i mean rape^H^H^H^H using black soldiers in europe never got anywhere worth a chuckle. they didn't believe women back in the [other] 20s or what was it, helga the rhine rivetteer couldn't do it.)
mircea_popescu: which... gimme a fucking break. for one thing, socialist moron. for the other, i have spare tyres that can write better.
BingoBoingo: As far as I can tell they don't dream of Edward's alt-England either
BingoBoingo: They also don't borrow much from the rich French and Russian anti-semetic traditions
BingoBoingo: Ah, yeah, they don't seem to go back much further than the 1930's
mircea_popescu: used to be "heart of europe", but obviously ustard never heard of it.
mircea_popescu: i meant more ye olde "jews conspire to bring black degeneracy into the holy land"
BingoBoingo: Hard to say. The "It's okay to be white" fliers appear to get evergreen press attention any time they pop up which is disappointingly infrequently
mircea_popescu: because they quite literally just picked up the "senegalese" bullshit and morel's daily herald nonsense, blew dust off here and there and that's the whole material.

mircea_popescu: speaking of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-30#1867613 "inconsequential tracts" : i r wondering now just how many of the ustarded "cultural commentators" (the boas-ian wanna-be elite, say) actually did figure out the whole "white racism" in the us is cheap rent re-usage of ww1 german props. ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's a completely textbook case, aha, of 'we pulled on the duct tape and after 2 tonnes of pull it comes off'
a111: Logged on 2018-11-05 23:08 asciilifeform: gnat is entirely ok with finalization in lib so long as the finalized type aint exported
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-05#1869702 << this sounds entirely like hack, in the proper sense of term -- someone got lazies attack and "nobody would think to check here". ☝︎
asciilifeform: fwiw i've massaged ffa to the point where it's fully static and the problem dun affect it any. but some of my other stuff (mmap) is hobbled by it.
asciilifeform: just about all the interesting ones, are, aha
asciilifeform: my aim is to eventually start patching these, rather than cranking out oddball workarounds.
bvt: what i have fished out trying to solve the problem is that only a subset of restrictions should be contagious
asciilifeform: i.e. when gnat fails to deliver this, it is properly speaking a gnat bug.
asciilifeform: the standard specifically promises that restrictions can be applied to narrow sections of coad. therefore gotta be made to work!
asciilifeform: hence 'make this linkable' dances.
asciilifeform: it isn't actually practical, as i currently understand, to build a large, nontrivial proggy with all of the restrict pragmas switched on.
asciilifeform: ( whereas troo static linkage does not )
asciilifeform: the latter suxx because it infects the caller with the full pragma-restrictiveness of the lib.
asciilifeform: ( what 'genericism' does in ada, is to force the compiler to rebuild a copy of the lib for erry time the exported type is invoked in the caller. at which point may as well tell user to drop the src into his, rather than link the lib, the effect is the same )
asciilifeform: the 1 workaround i've found is to make the lib 100% generic 'all the way down', but it's ugly imho
asciilifeform: ( which is why my mmap thing aint posted yet )
asciilifeform: but thus far seems to break if it is
asciilifeform: gnat is entirely ok with finalization in lib so long as the finalized type aint exported ☟︎
asciilifeform: bvt: of course it does, trb is 100% static-linked and has plenty
bvt: i dunno if gnat people even tried to implement finalization for static libs/bins. i guess cpp supports destructors in statically linked code?
asciilifeform: ( for old c/cpp dogs : 'finalization' is analogous to 'destructor' )
asciilifeform: the standard, btw, does not say any such thing as 'using finalization breaks staticity', it seems to be 100% gnat breakage rather than 'standard forbids'
asciilifeform: current ffa relies on the user/caller to wipe
asciilifeform: ( it's not a wholly useless thing, i dun have it in current ffa but my 1st draft used it to wipe all data on the stack erry time it goes out of scope )
asciilifeform: i dun have a pill for this yet
asciilifeform: some language features seem to break the 'encapsulability' , e.g. finalization
asciilifeform: this pattern is not really escapable if yer using the restrictions
asciilifeform: bvt: i structured it so that the moar-restriction-y stuff ends up in static libs that get linked ~into~ the less-restrictiony demolade ( rather than vice-versa ), and so that the lib is statically linkable to begin with
bvt: so far i had a look only in the runtime, but never looked into the gcc part
asciilifeform: bvt: it's structured the way it is, for a reason
bvt: myeah, i solved it by maximally recreating the ffa project structure, so can't say i did anything informed by the 'first principles' there.
asciilifeform: i also suspect that my use of static linkage exposed buncha implementation strange
BingoBoingo: For want of a LISP machine... we are on track for a fascist superMIPs with bignum coprocessor before the end of Trump's second term.
asciilifeform: overall pattern is frequently 'aha, you banned this ? goodluck using the standard lib nao, where we used it 9000 times'. saw this with e.g. the secondary stack liquishit.
asciilifeform: really calls for a deep dig into the sores.
mircea_popescu: not at all clear to me wth is going on with that io stuff.
asciilifeform: ( how gnat goes about enforcing the various restrictions, is largely black art at this point, the most i can say is that it seems to 'fail deadly', i.e. ultra-conservatively banhammers yer entire proggy if it fails to satisfy various obscure this-and-not-that conditions )
a111: Logged on 2018-10-26 02:14 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in gnat bugs : apparently ( and this is documented or mentioned nowhere ) : it is impossible to have a Ada.Finalization.Limited_Controlled type ANYWHERE inside a static library, unless it is generic all the way down (i.e. if the lib package is generic, any sub-packages must also be instantiated as generics )
asciilifeform: bvt: pretty weird. sounds like you uncovered some bugolade in the spirit of the earlier http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-26#1866266 . ☝︎
BingoBoingo: In other heathen headlines: Apparently Llamas (as opposed to alpacas) might have the proteins necessary for a universal flu vaccine
BingoBoingo: Well, hopefully they now that they have this niche that gets them headlines where they would otherwise have none, they keep pursuing it
asciilifeform: ( of course it will be 'patched' and Officially Cured and Stop Asking Questions, Terrorist etc. shortly )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: loox like they actually reversed some fw shitware, godly work
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> there are exactly 0 genuine-crypto hdd on heathen market, you can take this to the bank. << It's the assumption so safe it's not worth verifying unless your marginal University is trolling for headlines
bvt: otoh, when i added a single line 'package SIO is new Ada.Sequential_IO(Positive);' to ffa_calc.adb, it errored out during the compilation in the same way
bvt: when i moved all ada.S_IO usage to a separate package/file, everything worked fine
bvt: ok, i have figured out one solution to the problem (at least on gnat 2017): can't have Ada.Sequential_IO specialization in the GPR_Project'Main file
asciilifeform: ( there's an unofficial fatwa against it, or sumthing )
asciilifeform: there are exactly 0 genuine-crypto hdd on heathen market, you can take this to the bank.

bvt: to clarify: base64 lib and applications are two separate gprbuild projects, -gnatec=base64/restrict.adc flag is only in the library project
bvt: No_Unchecked_Access is such restriction; i have tested a dummy application that does nothing but import and instantiate/specialize Ada.Sequential_IO instance for the datatype from base64 library. test application fails to compile, http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/Vwno8/?raw=true http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/qgs7E/?raw=true
