jurov: duh what a day..
thanks
to coinroll bots we found out about Math.random backdoor in node.js
fluffypony: I don't get it - is it supposed
to be a kid's book?
mircea_popescu: this fucking "x will need
to" replacement for "we would like for x
to" is a riot.
BingoBoingo: ;;later
tell danielpbarron My OpenBSD cd's arrived yesterday.
BingoBoingo: Basically
the New England Journal of Medicine is irrelevant because
they insist on embeding images as adobe flash
fluffypony: because when choosing a cryptocurrency, an integrated IRC client sets you apart from
the herd
assbot: Europe’s First Bitcoin Embassy
To Open in Poland | Bitcoinet
fluffypony: Apocalyptic: is
the header picture supposed
to be a phoenix rising from
the ashes?
assbot: Social Media Rock Star Makes $28,000 Per Year | Video |
The Onion - America's Finest News Source
punkman: why do all
these 7" low resolution monitors cost as much as a 20" HD one?
punkman: "CEO Paulius Meskauskas, CMO
Tomas Andzelis, CRO Mantas Gustys and a
team of over 20 other people"
assbot: Virtex! A new online crypto currency
trading platform | Bitcointa.lk
punkman: "Also our cold wallet is going
to be stored on a dedicated system
that will come online less
than once a day for brief random interval
to carry out necessary
transactions."
assbot: Photos of an NSA upgrade factory show Cisco router getting implant | Ars
Technica
Naphex: what are
the utf-8 costs
that are so considerable?
bounce: again, flight-forward kind of
thing. and it completely disregards
the (considerable) costs of utf-8
Naphex: or have
the irc client use utf8 decoding as default
Naphex: they'll change charset when
they see artifacts all day
Naphex: they should just default
to utf8
bounce: so people just use whatever charset
they like, and a bunch of clients now standard guess whether
the characters
they're looking at is latin-1 or utf-8 and switch
tack based on
the guesses
bounce: well, it's what's in
the rfc. "we assume it's ascii with some swedish specialness"
bounce: well, it's never been non-charset aware,
there just was only one charset
bounce: nope. and it's a flight-forward kind of
thing. "if only everyone used
this one standard system" -- but
there isn't just one standard
Naphex: since
they only interpret command params
Naphex: utf8 and its up for
the clients
to interpret is fine
bounce: say, a per-channel
tag expressing a preferred charset
Naphex: sometimes it is more
then enough
to do 1
thing well, istead of 100
things mediocrely
bounce: there's plenty
that IRC could be doing better. but
the basic stuff works pretty well.
mircea_popescu: Naphex so
then
they just made a bitcoin
to usd gateway
mircea_popescu: decimation: it's sad
that
there's not mechanism for multicast on
the general internet <<< god help us. lomic ?!
Naphex: and just ID
to exchange
to USD
Naphex: well
they don't have
to,
they can have a bitcoin wallet
mircea_popescu: Naphex
they can't integrate bitcoin, because i will never id
to use it.
mircea_popescu: same exact
thing can besaid of
tcp/ip, or anything else
that works.
mircea_popescu: decimation: IRC is kind of a creaky old protocol. it works, but it's like hitching a ride on a Cuban 1950's Ford
truck <<<
there are
two kinds of protocols :
the "creaky old" stuff which is good and
the new shitty stuff which is bad.
Naphex: but just
the fact
that
they're big makes
them slow in adding something, so it might drag
Naphex: heh, well
they could just integrate bitcoin;p
mircea_popescu: ebay is rimm cca 2005. who wants
to
tell
the people with 401k's
that mp will make a killing with puts on
their savings ?
mircea_popescu: that
thing says exactly nothing at all. whence bullish ?
mircea_popescu: so reddit, made out of people who have no idea how
to read pr statements, got all excited ?
Naphex: "We
think Bitcoin will play a very important role in
the future. Exactly how
that plays out, and how we can best
take advantage of it and enable it with PayPal,
that's something we're actively considering. It's on our radar screen."
bounce: at a guess, something along
the lines of "bitcoin with chargebacks"
mircea_popescu: is
this
the first case of a bit* site
that's pre-bitcoin ?
fluffypony: been up for a couple of hours, but
the wife has gotten into
this fancy-breakfast-making habit
Naphex: you're an early man
too eh?:P
Naphex: what
time is it in sa?
moiety: kakobrekla:
tweaked and returned. If
there's anything hideously wrong, please let me know
moiety: though
that involves dragging her
through
the evening also
benkay: maybe i should drape lady v over my arm and go
troll
the dogelings.
moiety: probably make folk jealous
though
benkay: moiety: it's worse
than
that - everyone
talks like
that.
moiety: kakobrekla: re wiki: i
took it off because i wasn't sure how useful it was. i still have it
though
moiety: lol benkay, i kinda want
to know if
they
talk
that way in person
benkay: leaning
towards
the latter
benkay: can't decide if i need
to go
to harsh
the vibe or stay in and work on actual
things
benkay: time for some
tech-nose
benkay: regarding coinprism, i wonder if
the same pattern of webwallet heists is going
to happen with
the cc walletsregarding coinprism
dignork: thinking of it,
twitter 2.0, your message is limited
to 40 bytes of OP_RETURN, and you waste bitcoins, delicious!
dignork: decimation: if you want
to keep all your messages
till bitcoin-dev finnaly figures a way
to implement purging, yes.
decimation: ascii has pointed
this out several
times
decimation: One could use
the bitcoin protocol
to chat if
they are willing
to spend
the coin
decimation: it's sad
that
there's not mechanism for multicast on
the general internet
dignork: I mean
there is a usable console client for one
to one chat, and support for group chat, but still.
dignork: decimation:
there is a
tox chat,
torrent like, but nowhere close
to irc so far
decimation: I'm
thinking of something like bittorrent
kakobrekla: name one chat protocol
that surpasses it
decimation: IRC is kind of a creaky old protocol. it works, but it's like hitching a ride on a Cuban 1950's Ford
truck
decimation: Okay. I don't know
the details of IRC, apparently gribble can
tell
the difference between someone leaving
the channel and a net-split?
artifexd: It does. But
there is coding
that needs
to be done.
assbot: Michael Novogratz
touts bitcoin, M&A and
tech
artibot: Ok. I'm still "on
the clock" so I won't get
the bot in here now but I should be able
to get it done before I go
to bed.
kakobrekla: if
this is
the only chan you are in with gribble, parting and joining will deauth you of gribble and you will lose your voice
decimation: seems like !down
to assbot and ;;gpg unauth
to gribble should be
the
trick?
decimation: I guess what I really want is
to securely
tear down my session
artibot: Is
the delay normal? It
took about 40 seconds
to be voiced.
kakobrekla: so either you change
that or make it up itself
kakobrekla: yeah well chanserv cant distinguish between human embodiment and
the real bot
decimation: If we are maintaining assbot; can we make it so users can !down
themselves privately? Or is it intended
to just ;;gpg unauth with gribble?
artibot: But
the nickserv account is
the same.
artibot: I am
the human embodiment of []bot. I am not
the real []bot.
