mircea_popescu: way it ought to work starts with finely dispersed listeners throughout the network, which i hesitate to place as
a "every lord should have" type of obligation in 2017, but will eventually become
☟︎ BingoBoingo: ^ When was the last time anyone coped with
a coping saw?
mircea_popescu: not
a particularly bright idea - for one thing you may wish to prioritize txn
mircea_popescu: the idea though is that you'd want to pay the same per kb for
a whole period.
hanbot: say, i've also got
a paytxfee reset to zero (was set last run)...what's this, also doesn't update w/o rescan, or wants
a setting every run?
hanbot: test tx via trb using sendtoaddress fails to send diddly squat, meanwhile @ blockchain.info: transaction rejected by our node. Reason:Script resulted in
a non-true stack: []
trinque: I'm going to aim the deeds service at #trilema-trinque for
a few minutes to test.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller weed is
a swamp thing not
a desert thing. grows best in wash dc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sounds
a lot like someone read trilema on the topic lel.
mats: you can afford rent for safe houses but can't be fucked to develop
a connect in the northeast? and drive the stuff down like sane people?
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i must say. when I put 40 hours into the first thief over vacation, definitely repeated that phrase to myself
a lot: "thinking man's doom" such an apt three word description for the game.
phf: i'm not sure, but i remember you have to put
a handful of magic incantations to live fix clx on genera to make it connect to crapple's x11
☟︎ phf: you can walk in, ask for
a theme, and you're going to be presented with
a range of crude looking trinkets, the kind that you would see as costume jewelry in the "little princess" corner of the store
phf: based on what it is. if it's supposed to cary
a stone of some sort, 18, then goes up
phf: every bank has
a "gold loan" department, presumably to pawn the wedding jewelry on the as needed basis. you see this dynamic as you step of the airplane. the idea that currency ban hits anyone but the poorest of the poor is ridiculous.
mircea_popescu: phf yeah. gold was already "
A problem" in the soviet meaning of the term in india. with this idiocy, they're making it
a fully gold standard place.
mircea_popescu:
a properly minted gold coin would be worth about $1500
phf: three biggest stores downtown: wedding saris,
a department store with everything, 6 storied gold vendor
phf: that's basically what they do her re strike gold rounds. according to
a gold seller for an average indian wedding he sells roughly 2kg worth of jewelry. he says that different sellers will have slightly different numbers (based on how prestigious they are), but he's sort of in the middle of normal distribution
mircea_popescu: Kingdom of India, rape all the bureaucrat 16yo daughters. sounds like
a party.
phf: i need to move
a handful of things into storage, throw out the bulk and handover my apartment back to landlord. mostly i don't want to lose my books, but i'm going to split them between
a handful of trusted locations
mircea_popescu: justified ; their musical instruments weren't up to code. people are irresponsible, you could start
a fire using the wrong kind of trumpet. and fire is dangerous, whole fucking party could die because of it.
phf: i don't have
a smart comment, "exasperation" is the correct term in this case. i'm looking in awe at the turnaround time though, some kind of "modernization" fast track right there
mircea_popescu: more or less
a "there's no fucking end to the amount of chinese crap these idiots would """buy""" if they had credit cards. and no, there isn't.
mircea_popescu: it's the funny fate of people at the top of
a socialist dictatorship to become very right wing ever as their populace drifts ever more into ustardism.
phf: guy who snatched mcclim from g_l, and who otherwise got
a somewhat cold treatment from the ccl core before joined the channel the next day with "i guess i should subscribe to mailing list :)"
mircea_popescu: blessfully, there is
a large contingent of young women who deeply intuit the whole thing's bullshit ; which is the most that can be said for the place. making the anglophone ideological america VERY much
a "city of jerusalem". total jews, these folk.
mircea_popescu: that's the one, only, true and authentic soul of america and naught else. apparent alternatives are always and without exception strictly
a) tolerated imports with no substantial intermingling with local idiocy and b) only tolerated because of exterior pressure ; if usian CAN get away with no longer pretending to frenchness, germanity, etc he most definitely will.
mircea_popescu: if there is to be something substantially murican, to stand with the russki "soul of the peasant", it's
a badly typeset secret big town learnin' france doesn't want ms cormack of potato, idaho to know.
mircea_popescu: phf you're exactly right. this current maga-able us economy consisting of "we'll be rich by doing each other's laundry" is not in any sense novel, or invented by the pantsuit mcclinton. in fact, on
a frank review of the extant record, the only properly said us-american culture is THIS. in between the quack salesman and the itinerant scammer you find the neoprotestant-innovative firebrand preacher, the systematizing industrial
mircea_popescu: "ultra learning" sounds
a lot like "i don't wanna learn, what can you make me out of HFCS and corporate legal advice ?"
mats: i'll add
a trigger warning if there's
a next time
phf: the whole vibe of the piece that you linked is that. "here's 10 books i wrote on how to be
a leading brain surgeon. i myself am not
a brain surgeon of course too hard lol, i just made all the money writing books like that"
phf: i can't vouch for the current edition (with the colourful chronometer on the cover), becaues comments side that it's not just
a reprent, but
a revised text based on gould's notes.
phf: asciilifeform: did you get the new and improved edition? or
a pirate pdf of the original? i'm not sure what the warez status of it is, but i can potentially do
a proper scan of the first ed
trinque: By default costs are in units of “time
a sequential 8kb block read takes
trinque: ok so there are materialized views, yes? stored query the results of which are written to
a table
trinque: can you use
a materialized view there?
mod6: there is
a lot of configuration/tuning involved. they're picky. :/
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: is there
a guide on making this fabled kernel module for fuckgoats?
mod6: it would be interesting to see, how often inserts are happening for new key submissions versus, say, something that would facilitate
a regular ui page load.
mod6: so, UIs are usually victims, ofc. and the bottleneck is in the database. might be worth your time to see what your explain plans look like (are we doing
a lot of table scans?), what do your lock counts look like? are we doing lots of long runing queries that return no rows? etc.
mod6: (im much more familiar with mysql's perf schema, not really with psql, but... I find these things very helpful on
a regular basis.)
mircea_popescu: in fairness it's
a bit like using car for haulage. use train neh.
thestringpuller: "RAND_poll seeds the random number generator using
a system-specific entropy source, which is /dev/urandom on UNIX-like operating systems" << so openssl default is PRNG??? RE: "The urandom device may lack sufficient entropy for your needs, and you might want to reseed it immediately from /dev/random. On Unix and other operating systems that provide the block device, you can use RAND_load_file to load directly from /dev/random."
BingoBoingo: Question: How do you reverse
a ratcheting tap and die handle?
a111: Logged on 2017-02-18 20:20 mircea_popescu: it's i realise now, directly the problem - the snippetage. IF
a language/method/package/abstract-item-whatever has
a lot of "copy paste this snippet" built around it, then the useless worms that opened up and swallowed the immense productive assets and limitless human ingenuity existing in america recognize it for the business-world equivalent of their schooldays : THE HOLY CLIFF NOTES!!1
mircea_popescu: and so they attempt to built
a career through the process and in the manner that built their "education".

☟︎ mircea_popescu: but irl, they just happen to be items with vast online documentation. so
a lot of dung to snatch, as it were.
a111: Logged on 2017-02-18 18:09 ben_vulpes: footnote 3 is
a gorgeous little sentence, i don't think i've ever seen the like from
a native english speaker
mats: help help i'm being oppressed by
a poster
mats: you'd think VA employees could distinguish .mil culture from
a threat of workplace violence

☟︎ diana_coman: mod6, "tight coupling" would be
a very ....british way of putting it: I think trinque has it there with "rat king"
trinque: qt thing itself was an abominable nightmare of
a hacked together carve-path drawing tool
trinque: but also there were plenty of idiots that could not think clearly about the problem in the abstract either, i.e. there is
a board, it is to be carved along these paths, so on
trinque: class graph looked like
a rat king
trinque: I worked on
a very sad qt project once upon
a time
diana_coman: aha, I had
a bit of
a look at ada but sadly no time to properly play around with it; I'm looking forward though to your ada implementations
mod6: you're basically
a saint.
mod6: well, someone may suppose that you'd rather smashed in the head with
a simple rock, or this here complex ax head.
mod6: so ya, sounds like there is really no design pattern, or at lesat not
a discernable one 'eh
mod6: it sounds like this is /far/ from such
a design.
mod6: my mind boggles at how they even have this setup. for instance, in my mind, if you were going to have say, 30 different types of hats in the game, there would be
a simple, abstract hat class.
diana_coman: thanks! got
a bit of it out basically; in any case, eulora server is being gradually rebuilt and ps will be entirely discarded
