BingoBoingo: Well, in
this southern hell afternoon walks may lead
to a bit of a headache. It increases in intensity and seens
to be centered around
the eyes.
diana_coman: BingoBoingo, also, "comminsion" in
the most recent qntra
title?
BingoBoingo back from paying
the rent, pretty sure
they eyes managed
to get a bit of sunburn in spite of sunglasses
diana_coman: that should be all, apologies for
the long list of !!v

mircea_popescu: anyway, /me shall be back ~thurs,
though might say hi on
the road. but will certainly read
teh logs!
diana_coman: kk; I'll keep up
this approach of published-even-if-stumbling small steps so on one hand
there is something concrete
to shoot down if needed and on
the other hand we can correct any
trouble early on, hopefully
mircea_popescu: things are kinda deliberately made
to dovetail with ada, so i hope
they do and if
they don't we fix.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-16 13:56 asciilifeform: diana_coman: you won't need
to do any of
the streams horror
that i did
there, because
those of your subfields
that are arrays, have strictly bounded sizes
diana_coman: anyway, when I get
to
the data structures, I'll see re serializing
diana_coman: that was my whole point of
the separation between layer 0 and layer 1
there: at 0 everything is just an array of octets, nothing more
diana_coman: thing is:
there are lots of
this "int8 number of keys" followed by "n*int8 key ids" and
this in
turn is just part of
the wider
thing
diana_coman: at any rate when I get
to
the records I might come and whine loudly if I get stuck
☟︎ diana_coman: I expect /hope so; meanwhile it's very good
to have
that observation
there,
thank you!
diana_coman: it might really be
that my ada-fu is not up
to
the
task yet

lobbesbot: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.

thinking about
this in
the interim, it is EVIDENTLY
the case. "files" as in ~the fucking
thing REFERENCED~ in
the "file"system names aren't even first class abstractions!
the drive's a BYTE device!
there's no fucking files ANYWHERE except in
the imagination.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "then you want
to put
these '''maximal freedom''' elements in a
tree ?" "it's not a
tree, it's a '''directory structure'''." "wtf is
that ?" "a half-baked
tree." "you're really dedicated
to
this half-baked
thing beyond all else, aren't you ?"
mircea_popescu: and obviously most of
the reason
the sql flavour is broken is because "oh, structure could never be aforeknown" and so "must have maximal hallucinatory freedoms".
mircea_popescu: in any case
there's no such
thing as a filename anywhere at all, it's not even 2nd class, it's a sort of indian.
mircea_popescu: what passes for a "file system" currently is
this attempt
to force a byte-device (sometimes with some half-baked geographical allocation bolted on)
through a half-baked database model. wtf is a "FAT" or a "journal" besides poorly implemented mysql/postgres dben ?
a111: Logged on 2018-10-15 19:24 mircea_popescu: s a file system AT ALL, and
the "all
things are files" is just a
thin wraper on a
turd sausage made out of "we have no data model beyond ram and our disk doesn't actually work".

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: yknow it occurs
to me, one could make a likely very popular film, call it "captive" or w/e, simply
through filming
the male seminal canal from
teste
to ligature point in one of
those
tube-tied doods. 4 minuites of voice-over at
the beginning explaining what's what ("this is joe. joe is a sperm." bla bla) and
then
the rest of an hour and a half just... let people watch
the random walk.
bvt: thanks, i see what you mean.
the Interfaces.C.Strings.New_String() comments explicitly say
that
the heap allocation is necessary for
the large strings, which is not
the case for vpatch
temporary file names.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-15 19:13 bvt: ave1, can you expand on getting rid of string allocations? I see a way
to get rid of it for Mode, but not for
the Path argument. i can move its c-string from heap
to stack, but
that would be it. anyhow, i will revise
this aspect.
ave1:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1863087, look at
the pasted code. Yes, you move it from a dynamic allocation on
the heap
to a "dynamic allocation" on
the stack. With
the major advantage
that
the stack is a well defined mechanism with predictable results where dynamic allocations are not.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: meanwhile in french class, "Je sens sur
ta lèvre une odeur de fièvre de gosse mal nourri ; et sous
ta caresse je sens une ivresse qui m'anéantit"
lobbes: yeah,
that makes sense. Ol' causes and purposes.
The only cause I can see right now for separate bot is if wanting
to keep it on separate box
mircea_popescu: well, restructure
the commands namespace, rather
than making n bots
a111: Logged on 2018-10-15 15:44 asciilifeform: in unrelated noose, mod6 et al : loox like
trb doesn't remove banned peers from its addr
table ! i.e. offers
their addrs up
to others, as if
they were proper noades!! i never noticed
this previously, it had
to wait
to be found empirically. really oughta be fixed, and pretty simple patch.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-15 11:44 lobbes: btw "!Qsarchive" (without
the "-") also works
to call
the command. ("!Qs" was already in-use
to search logs.minigame.bz)
mircea_popescu: is it
that your mental picture of
the bot gets
too gnarly because of all
these diff functions ?
mircea_popescu: i guess
the idea is, i dunno what you're
trying
to achieve ?
lobbes: but maybe you have a point. I gotta noodle on it.
there's a balance somewhere
lobbes: or perhaps lobbesbot can be
the 'misc bot'
mircea_popescu: and if you're putting
them all on
the same box what's "separate" mean anyway ?
mircea_popescu: won't it be a nightmare
to keep a bunch of separate bots up ?
lobbes: but
there's still
the !Qlater
tell,
the #eulora log-quoting, #eulora log search, etc. I guess I figured why not
take
the opportunity
to organize vastly different functionalities into separate bots. (e.g. all
the logger-related functionality in one bot, auction/ticker-announce/price-history in auctionbot, everything-else in 'miscbot')
lobbes: well, my ultimate aim is
to eventually rewrite ALL of lobbesbot's functionality
to stand on
top of logbot versus
the heathen limnoria. auctionbot was
the first victory in
this regard.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1862617 << speaking of which, hey lobbes, feel like adding a param
to !Q later
tell, whereby it can
tell next it sees guy but not earlier
than x hours ?
lobbes:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1862788 <<
this is a good idea for a feature. Once I get logbot-voicing figured out I'm
thinking of setting up a general purpose 'miscbot' for such
things as
the later-tell and
the duckduckgo search. I'll
try and work
this into
the later-tell feature
☝︎ lobbes: I'll start working
to get
the voicing figured out for auctionbot and bring it in here.
lobbes:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1862662 << yeah, I
think I must've still been waking up
that morning. my unexamined line of
thought at
the
time was
that since it doesn't list in here,
there's no need
to have it here.
Then I remembered
there's still use in, e.g. being able
to bid, view orders, etc.

tell phf i recently found
that lcd panel made by (defunkt) 'pixelqi co', pq3qi-01 , is still sold by chinese ( i have nfi if clones, or old stock ), ~100 $ ea;
the

BingoBoingo: This Uber
thing kind of sounds like "VoyEnTaxi"
Mocky: place is crawling with uber drives, never more
than 3 minutes away no matter where you go, almost all driving a Kia
Mocky: uber in Qatar is cash, much
to my surprise. I popped a sim into my second phone, made an uber acct, verifed with a
text message, no CC, no identity verification. i was surprised
