<mircea_popescu> how the fuck it is code never shrinks ?
<< Code does shrink sometimes. But not due to concentration on features or bugs. If it happens, it happens because the developer grows and improves. One of my favorite days was deleting 60k lines of code that I had written and replacing it with 100 lines. Simpler. Faster. Easier to understand.

mircea_popescu: decimation: does he? is there a repo?
<< there's no repo.
mircea_popescu: decimation: it would be useful if someone 'hardforked' 0.6 and maintained it
<< quite.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: what is this, late bettor hour?
<<< asciilifeform will keep his bet now.
mod6:
<+ben_vulpes> mod6: let me know what style inputs you have

mod6: ben_vulpes:
<+mod6> any reason for deb 6 and not the latest?
BingoBoingo: othernubs`> decimation, i'm actually having a hard time finding numbers on miner stats
<< Pool ops rarely run "stock" parts
BingoBoingo:
<othernubs`> 84% of user agents report 0.8.5 or newer
<< Occasional 0.8.x node may be considered polite in allowing certain SPV clients connectivity.
Apocalyptic:

<Apocalyptic> // of course it's not, and nobody is contesting that. It just can made to have that sort of behaviour
<< that depends.
Apocalyptic:
<asciilifeform> nope. even with infinitely strong magnetic effect, the ground is still taking up the weight, and were it to move, would propagate vibration to the 'levitated' object. // this is true but of no help to the argument, since if you can predict the amplitude/frequency of the "earthquake", you can impose the same variations on the intensity of the current generating your magnetic field
jurov: mircea_popescu ...runs code for a third party...
