asciilifeform: mats: pretty lulzy in light of today's kakobrekla 'i know the only shareholder and he is remorseful' ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2016-08-27 19:04 mod6: <+mats> if there are any folks still looking to exit their s.nsa holdings, i would like to discuss buying your shares <+asciilifeform> mats: i would buy yours if i had in what to put. << looks like he's trying to buy, not sell.
mats: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-27#1530441 << i forgot to respond to this, yes, i'm looking to buy shares ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i'm sorry wut ?
mod6: so, if we wanna go backwards, we'd have to create another similar method to go backwards with something like pindex = pindex->pprev. and this doesn't seem wholly better than what exists. i guess i did think about this about last week, but just figured putting in less code is better.
mod6: So I've created a patch that so far puts in the ability to view 'listunspent' UXTOs in the wallet.
mod6: While doing such work, I decided it'd also be nice (if not for trb integration, for myself) to have some tools to help me construct a rawtx.
mod6: Not being an expert myself on rawtx's, I've decided to try to get familiar with them, and become more of something closer to an expert -- so some mental strengthining has been going on there.
mod6: And I've created a reground patch for that.
mod6: I've reviewed the rawtx submission that polarbeard sent.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> but you can blow yourself up like this by mis-specifying start-from-and-go-forward blocknumn also. << i've tested this a bunch, with a rescan too, and seems ok. what do you think will be the issue here?
mod6: however, this leaves one edge case, I think. And would need to be tested much before I send this one out.
mod6: We've seen that when you import a private key with the original I sent to the ML, it works great, but it does take the time to scan through the index from genesis to HEAD for transactions.
mod6: i love these FUCKGOATS pics.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-10#1580885 << ummm shinohai ... that looks like 1 column?? << fwiw, when viewing that link with lynx, i see two columns. ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://lyndonlarouche.org/newamericanfascism.htm << in very other non-noose. 'This is not a democratic situation; this is a time where democracy is the worst factor you can get. You've got a democracy in the streets now, they want to kill these guys. That's the democracy I want to hear from. I don't want to hear from these so-called Democrats; I want to hear from the killers!'
shinohai: i see 2 colums do u
mircea_popescu: i suppose we start calling nigger assets masquerading as "scientists" trickers from now on, on the basis of you know, "a trick" being "slang" for "a clever and legitimate technique". you know, "in science".
mircea_popescu: "The most quoted phrase took words from an e-mail of 16 November 1999 written by Phil Jones which referred to a graph he was preparing as a diagram for the cover of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) statement on the status of global climate in 1999.[203][204] Jones wrote: "I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie, from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 fo

asciilifeform: ( i have nfi why d00d gives a shit )
pete_dushenski: mya. dunno why he thinks ~i~ should be tasked with defending mpex instead of presenting his limp challenges here but... ya.
phf: i feel like you need to figure out how to connect it to your lispm, for that proper "we used to be Men" experience
a111: Logged on 2016-12-09 20:02 asciilifeform: nobody cares how quickly you 'helloworld', but if instead you write down 'why should i have to do this, i expected to see a fat offer!!!' the interviewer learns something quite important.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-09 19:58 trinque: whether I can code without access to *my* emacs tells someone very little about what I can do with it
a111: Logged on 2016-12-09 19:36 asciilifeform: phf: to quote one such 'speshul trainflake' i encountered once, 'you should be making me an offer, and not asking me to do tricks'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-09#1580642 << all oif you have it easy. i once had 150+ cvs sent within 24 hours to a (sales) management position ALL by waitresses, cooks, and other STRICTLY unqualified people. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform, Framedragger: script appears to be ~2/3 through its run; i'm going to let it finish.
trinque avoided adding any kind of rate limiting to the bot code because I have yet to find a straight answer on appropriate rate
ben_vulpes: i just caught 442712
phf: i have a patch that i'm working on that might help towards that goal
asciilifeform: sorta why i have not touched trb in quite a spell -- there is nothing left to do that is not 'a mutilation' imho
asciilifeform: every time i go and reopen this can of worms and look at the code, i end up realizing that the thing is ~unfixable
ben_vulpes: yes, i recall
a111: Logged on 2016-01-20 02:05 asciilifeform: so i will review, for the benefit of non-panzers, the current state
asciilifeform: ( because - at least as i understand it - it requires the entire spittoon )
asciilifeform: the bulk of the reason i even wrote the 'programmable verstring' patch to begin with is to determine, experimentally, whether enemy would willingly go along with displaying directory of public trb urinals, or not
trinque: I've seen mine on that same site before, but no longer.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu iirc also has at least one, but iirc he's on some year1 version thereof and in fact i have nfi whether it even worx, or he still uses own 'mpb'
asciilifeform: if i had to guess, sk is jurov's
phf: i know mitutoyo, but the joke doesn't quite work with a jp company. "honorable datskovskiy san received boxes 1 through 5 with replica card prints cut to 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.5mm and 0.7mm allowed error margins, that mitutoyo san found presumptuous to include with own humble compliments"
asciilifeform: i do not own many 'gold toilets' but that one is quite useful.
asciilifeform: (i did not call'em up and verify the serial... but the thing worx great, is extremely repeatable)
asciilifeform: phf: it's where i got'em
trinque: I guess this guy was oldfag 90s, figured I was the candidate, and that was more of an initiation rite than filter
asciilifeform: trinque: that is like to say, ' i went to this great bordello...' but then turns out the 'bordello' was own bedroom and the woman -- your wife
phf: asciilifeform: i feel like that point is long past. i mean, in early 2000s you could get away with that. now if person can produce code ~that you can actually use~ you hire them on the spot, make them the cto :D
trinque: I said I was 19; that's light abuse !
trinque: the code I produced ended up in the actual product
trinque: so I know how to shift a register, what
trinque: wouldn't it be more interesting to give them a problem that implies they know asm ? i.e. there is a robotic arm in a factory, RISC processor, here are the motions it should perform at these intervals
asciilifeform: nobody cares how quickly you 'helloworld', but if instead you write down 'why should i have to do this, i expected to see a fat offer!!!' the interviewer learns something quite important. ☟︎
phf: this is for generic programming but with "maths" involved (i has some background in instrument pricing)
Framedragger: trinque: yeah, hm. i've seen more than one instance on that. i see what you mean. it was basically a case of, from what i gathered, "data sent; waiting for response; not a single byte sent back by server". either because server wasn't http, or some "hang forever, fucker" anti-DoS measure..
phf: it was helloworld, but randomized out of a hat. i think it was a number theoretical problem, like here's a property of a number, write a check for that property
trinque: whether I can code without access to *my* emacs tells someone very little about what I can do with it ☟︎
phf: one place (outsourced quants) brought out three laptops and asked me which environment i prefered, i thought that was pretty classy. (they had a really wide range, because every time someone said something obscure, they'd put it on the machine. like the linux box had emacs, with a lot of package preloaded and reasonably configured, mac box had intellij and such)
ben_vulpes: phf: i'd rather see someone use the editor they already have set up to attack problems in the domain for which they're under consideration for hiring
phf: ben_vulpes: that's sop now. i sort of go for interviewes every month or so to see what's out there, etc. and the past two years i had a lot of http://collabedit.com screenings
Framedragger: i saw one sitting for > hour
Framedragger: ben_vulpes: nice. re. curl timeouts, yeah you need them, otherwise it'll hand for a long time on some of those IPs (i saw this) :)
trinque: I bet it was JS
trinque: hiring only works through wot, formal or meat-implemented, and the "I will create an arena and find humans" really only works well if the whole society is the arena.
asciilifeform: phf: to quote one such 'speshul trainflake' i encountered once, 'you should be making me an offer, and not asking me to do tricks' ☟︎☟︎
phf: one guy ("10 years of unix experience") canceled the screening because i told him he'll have to ssh into a shared screen and i'll ask him some questions
phf: literally nobody can tell me what the potential downsides of `for i in xrange(1000000): a += "foo"` are
phf: i've been asking people to implement StringIO/StringBuilder/string-output-stream pattern. my original thinking was that while totally self contained problem it's a nice segue into gc, memory/runtime tradeoffs, threading, etc. just a baseline "are we on the same page" phone screening. i've went through about 35 "send us your resume" people and none of them could do it :o
mircea_popescu: no i mean as a standard exam problem
a111: Logged on 2016-12-09 02:37 mircea_popescu: but what i specifically take issue with is the claim that "There is no clear way in any languages". what the heck ?
mircea_popescu: oddly i dun see it.
ben_vulpes: no i get it, your turbine sees a lot of flow, and has an efficiency of less than one percent
ben_vulpes: i'm not even looking
asciilifeform: and hmm mircea_popescu i think you left a <i> open somewhere in the endnotes
ben_vulpes: i'll take a look at where it is in the list of phucked ips later and make a call as to whether its worthwhile to kill it and start over
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-08#1579768 << i suppose that i mis-parsed the 80/443 comment here due to immune system load ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( if someone feels like writing to some of these folx, to see what happens, i don't particularly care )
ben_vulpes: i think the major time wastage in it are the curl calls without timeout
a111: Logged on 2016-12-09 12:28 Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-08#1579752 << seeing as nobody was doing that, here's the result of basically that: http://siphnos.mkj.lt/phuctored-ssh-boxes/ - i may or may not do the other things (banners for http/ssh/telnet/ftp/etc), everyone feel free to do the latter, you can
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-09#1580275 << http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/Dlr8k/?raw=true has been chewing for ~day now, i'll chime in when it wraps ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i must point out that, e.g., commonlisp, which was designed sanely from the beginning ('character' != 'byte') can and often is unicodified with ~0 headache
asciilifeform: but that's the most plausible theory i've heard so far.
asciilifeform: etch was updated through 2010, according to https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEtch , but i am seeing all versions
asciilifeform: btw when i last did scan, moar of these boxen answered to https than http
asciilifeform: i dun think these have anything to do with debian...
mircea_popescu: lmao i just noticed i said "martial is a good starting point, his english is".
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: huh not the worst idea! i'll see if i can arrange when i'm back for christmas week after next :P
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha. why i didn't say anything re your curl earlier. will have to be run periodically lol
trinque: asciilifeform: I guess that was a cooler todd
Framedragger: (mikrovisata, i know that company heh. funny)
asciilifeform: i know 0 hu, but it looked like an old car lot.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm from cluj, it's spoken. why ?
trinque: ah thanks very much; I'll use that to practice
mircea_popescu: trinque the method i recommend, if you care, is to work selections of classical texts with the dictionary ; then proceed to answer any systematic questions you have when you're sick of the slog. ☟︎
Framedragger: i suppose i will!
Framedragger: http://siphnos.mkj.lt/phuctored-ssh-boxes/130.56.60.63-80.txt << oh, this belongs to consc.net, run by one david chalmers, dude whose papers i've actually read. lulzy
trinque: mircea_popescu: was insulting english and saying there's an appthing to walk around with practicing latin, with which I'm starting before taking on any other romance lang
mircea_popescu: i have no idea what you just said!
asciilifeform: http://80.1.67.37/login.aspx << i've never heard of a 'briportal' or 'britannic technologies ltd' but apparently they're based on diddled-debian...
asciilifeform: trinque: i suspect that subj discusses a work of imagination, not of reality
trinque: please, I cannot feel at home unless I hear other losers fuck / take a shit / etc
