BingoBoingo: No,
there isn't.
There are knobs
that influence
the range of memory footprints mysql will sit in, and none of
them appear
to be able
to be
turned meaningfully down on a living database.
BingoBoingo: ATTN:
http://bingology.net/ will be offline for at least 24 hours until I can free up some
time
to force
the database
to fit into
the available RAM
mircea_popescu: it just gets rid of "80 col" or otherwise "preformatted"
text in favour of line=paragraph sanity.
mircea_popescu: im sure i mentioned my script
to s'\n\n%\r'g | s'\n% 'g | s'\r%\n'g many
times before
mircea_popescu: but
the only way
to ever get
there is if we run out of
town
this "let's mix data and markup" approach.
mircea_popescu: basically, any
time you go "this string should contain control characters for my convenience" you are living in a state of sin, and should remedy.
mircea_popescu: reflow you like ; or else wider lines ; or anything
that works for you.
mircea_popescu: it is not possible
to fix
the wrong end of
this funnel.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the fact all your
terminals suck isn't an argument in
this convo.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there can be such a
thing as a standard length, yes. but apparently it'll be 512 bytes+
mircea_popescu: standard line length may not be shorter
than common lines. which among other
things will be rsa keys. so it'll be, willy nily, over 80.
mircea_popescu: but yes, i ask your
terminal be aware of
the syntax. it must be. because
the alternative is having me be aware of your
terminal -- and
that ain't occurring.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-04 23:45 phf: in a proper program 80 col is an indicator of s/n, density and all kinds of lateral properties,
that can be communicated between professionals, because you can know ahead of
time, what you're dealing with by shape, and have a rough estimate for
the
token count
mircea_popescu: sounds like you're in
the market for a printer driver
that doesn't suck.
mircea_popescu: my fucking 24 dot matrix
tractor unit could flow. what.
mircea_popescu: and if emacs can't do
this, emacs is plain and unadulterated garbage is all.
mircea_popescu: srsly now, move on
to an adult
terminal
that can flow
the semantic unit for your needs.
mircea_popescu: "stop" means
to
take "text" and
turn it into "te<controlchars>xt" and
that's so fucking stupid...
mircea_popescu: so not only we agree
to disagree -- but
there's gonna be long lines in
there cuz
that's how long a line is.
mircea_popescu: hey. i won't mandate her she write long lines, if she manages in 80 cols all
the better. but i will mandate she dun do " & " bullshit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there's a legacy definition of "text"
type in eulora comms protocol specifically for
this conversation.
mircea_popescu: in any case i don't want control bits spuriously pissed into
the stream. what next, <em> ?
mircea_popescu: the line as a semantic unit is as long as it fucking is, and
the
terminal deals with it.
mircea_popescu: IF you can't configure your
termina, either get a better one or understand you're at fault for your own pain.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i feel about "this string has spurious /n inserted in random places" about
the same way you feel about FG getting random control bits pissed into
the stream by "helpful" wrappers.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform srsly now, 80cols is a
terminal setting.
text may not have line breaks for any reason other
than new paragraph.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-03 22:38 mircea_popescu: Mocky so i guess next step is make an appointment with
their minister of
technology, industry, or whatever
the fuck, explain
to
the secretarial overseer you end up seeing
that
the republic is in principle willing
to do some
tech
transfer help
them become a real country, exchange confused nods and handshakes and set
the bozo bit on
the ball of faux carpeting yarn pretending
to be a country ?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman imo such items belong in a config file
then.
though he prolly wants
the ~config~ file
to also be "human readable" by which he means hard-paged at 80 cols like for idiots. because
there's no such
thing as a
terminal, nor user settings, and i gotta format my
text in a way
that's aware of his dumb
terminal. and he
thinks
this acceptable, somehow,
that at
the
time i write i must bear in mind how he'll later read.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-11-04 18:32 diana_coman: it still seems at best silly
to manually split strings
that one would
than have
to merge if
they want
to use as such somewhere else
mod6: ben_vulpes: cool,
thanks.
mod6: jurov: go ahead and Xcancel your auction #1005, and plz
to bid on mine (#1006)
☟︎ mod6: jurov: Ok,
that's probably a better way : We'll start
the auction, and you can bid on it. We'll do
this going forward.
Mocky: ^ Ok
this is my last post of
the night. Going
to sleep now
BingoBoingo at some point going
to have
to dive into reducing mysql ram usage on rockchip
Mocky: more like
trust Allah and don't be
the faithless one studying knots
diana_coman: Mocky, hm, I
thought it was "trust Allah but
tie camel", apparently
they lost
the 2nd part?
ben_vulpes: will be making new contacts in
the next month
to find a shared cab for racking
the foundation machine i lugged across
the continent
ben_vulpes: and workstation back online. gentoo happily boots from its original sata port on
the motherboard, but hangs at "loading
the kernel" when
that drive is plugged into any other other sata port.
diana_coman: it still seems at best silly
to manually split strings
that one would
than have
to merge if
they want
to use as such somewhere else
☟︎ diana_coman: onth I suppose
that
the 80cols rule either is or isn't, so it should apply even
to strings
that make no sense split, a bit of cutting
to fit
the bed style
diana_coman: the fact
that I have
to manually and arbitrarily split strings
that in fact are of any use only un-splitted
diana_coman: afaik *those* are
the only ones, let me know if
there is anything else
mircea_popescu: "they sit around during
the late morning and early afternoons having coffee and sweets." << you know i do
this shit
too ? must be
the middle easterner in us.
ben_vulpes: Mocky:
there's not much stomaching involved with operating an mp-wp. it's a pretty feature-complete blog; if you really want a custom
template you can buy one.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-22 20:11 Mocky: i can't stomach php, which probably sounds rich coming from hardcore java dude. my www is static files and one old school cgi
to python for comments
ben_vulpes: not much
to report, still assembling personal workstation
☟︎ Mocky: hey! i didn't want
to wasted
time implementing a big comment
thing when i get 1 comment per month
