http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-18#1851208, asciilifeform was right. I used
the list of system calls and read
the man pages and some linux kernel code. (I've worked with
the whole BSD sockets stuff for way
too long but not so much directly with it in
the past 10 years or so, and it has grown wraths...). Plus figuring out how
to do system calls with more
than 3 parameters
took some work (was not hard but in relation with inline assembly made it difficult).
☝︎ lobbes: Detailed update on step 3) referenced within: I have finished designing/building out/testing
the underlying
table and field structure (I ended up migrating
the underlying db
to postgres in lieu of sqlite, and so far am glad I did). Right now I am in
the
thick of
the re-tooling of my old coad. Still looks
to be on-track for Oct 31st delivery, but I will keep folx updated

this. diana_coman mind setting up a large
testing harness, send a soup of all packets lengths from 1
to 65536 bytes each hour back and forth for a week or
two ?
diana_coman: asciilifeform,
the
timeout was
the only one I hesitated on
too (and
the only one I'm using in
the original
test for
that matter) but precisely like you, when I
thought of it, I came up with "well,
threading should be enough anyway " and uhm, no reason why it's *needed*
there
diana_coman: fwiw, I'm also quite grateful
that ave1 published it now - it pointed me
to ada inline assembler (I hadn't really looked at it before!) and it gives me some
time
to hopefully get a bit more used
to it *before* I'll need it anyway
mircea_popescu: ada
threading still seems as promising as it did weeks ago. few
things survive
this long lol
diana_coman: heh, asciilifeform has it:
the way I see it, ave1's work will come in very handy at a later date when we can get rid of more of
the C mess
diana_coman: and I actually
think it is a step in
the right direction since it gets rid of C
mircea_popescu: ave1 i very much hope you don't
think your own work is a waste for
this reason.

diana_coman:
http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-9-18#431566 -> I'm
thinking of 2
there ; asciilifeform's lib also provides I
think a good interface - I don't see any reason why one couldn't just change /swap
the underlying .c file with ada or asm at a later date without having
to change otherwise anything of whatever one builds on
top of
the lib (i.e. relying on
the lib's interface)
mircea_popescu: which may permit further 2nd pass data processing. but
that -- open
to reader.
mircea_popescu: it'll passively show network congestion
too i
think, because of
the hourlies.
mircea_popescu: i do not
think we want more moving parts
than
those
two

mircea_popescu: i spenta while
trying, but
the sad
truth about impotence is
that sooner or later one has
to come
to
terms with
the facts of
the matter. i just... can't.
mircea_popescu: i can't quite manage
to find 20something dicklets offensive anymore.
mircea_popescu: "as long as
the fridge works, why do i need
to understand adiabatic cycles! MYSTICAL SCIENTISM CLINTON FOR
THE WIN!"
mircea_popescu: i expect he's aware, seeing how notwithstanding he and some chicks (married
to other dudes) he lists are in "antactica",
the extended network of "play partners" etc eventually points
to edinburgh.
mircea_popescu: sounds like what happens when you
teach ustards
the letters and no more. sooner or later
they'll find an old
translation of a greek
thesaurus and start mixymatching it up.
BingoBoingo: Sounds like what happens when you pack hot anthrax
tight in a hair fillicle
mircea_popescu: and
that word is of course "floccinaucinihilipilification".
mircea_popescu: n world, where he's like smart and in control and shit. what fucking perl script, one needs wetware for
this much self-referential lulz.
mircea_popescu: "Oh! Before you go,
there you are: Floccinaucinihilipilification:
The act or habit of describing or regarding something as unimportant, of having no value or being worthless. Doms around
the world, might wanna include
that one in your dirty
talk when
trying
to be a fancy degrader. Didn't want you
to leave without learning something new ;) got extra points if you actually read
the whole word." << dude's seriously off in his ow
a111: Logged on 2018-05-25 04:38 mircea_popescu: now back
to fake homosexuality : human sexuality is a learned behaviour. proper homosexuality is an inability
to learn, akin
to dyslexia or lefthandedness. fake homosexuality is
the exact contrary, a lot of "what if"ism and "provemewrong"ism and so on. a social, rather
than biological phenomenon.

ten digits!
mircea_popescu: it's not like, generation is like dropping balls, with
there being a coupla boxes at
the age of 0, and maybe a dozen boxes by age 6, and at MOST fifty or so boxes by age 25. and so by

there is in a class with at best MILLIONS of other, perfectly equal and entirely interchangeable balls.

the use of stack frame
to get cmdline args; and
the use of raw SYSCALL
to , e.g., get file size, open it, mmap over it,
then dump its contents
to stdout,
then close, quit
mircea_popescu: incidentally ave1 what was your process
there ? did you compile a higher language original (what, c ?) and
then desasm
the resulting object code ? followed by a handpass
through
the result, neating &
trimming
things out ? or did you start with a blank page and a legal pad ?
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-09-18 13:46 diana_coman: it's not fully clear
to me if it's something needed /desired atm; at any rate, compared
to where I was 2 days ago, it's great - all of a sudden it went from "need
to do
this from scratch, ugh"
to "there are 2 republican libs with 2 approaches, which one fits best my needs?" ; I'm rather delighted
to be honest

mircea_popescu: people finally wised up
to
the fact it's insane
to bitflip a single variable into
the ground "to save space". i suspect ~same realisation i nthe wings re udp
mircea_popescu: what it is is certainly <1kb say. wasting
the occasional portion of a kb is not so unlike wasting
the occasional portion of a 64 bit register
to represent a boolean value.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: moreover, it's not clear
to me
that varying
the packet size AND
the packet count rather
than just
the packet count is a wise move. it's not clear
to me what it buys, especially considering
there's externalities (udp packets under a certain size
travel better
than over ;
this for
technical reasons unrelated
to other considerations).
