assbot: Logged on 15-11-2015 03:30:48; phf: i've not looked at the original why johnny can't, but after my recent in-depth exposure to "conscientious programmers" rabbit hole decided to look at the paper's methodology. linked arxiv is a new addition to the subject, oct 29th
mircea_popescu: phf it's research in the sense "earth sciences" are research.
mircea_popescu: phf yes, that was the theory.
mircea_popescu: phf meanwhile, breadmaking is basic female skill required in mp households.
BingoBoingo: phf: Also other confounding factors http://www.prehabbeforerehab.com/ped-use-the-crossfit-games/
mircea_popescu: phf that culture got raped about as badly as "gays" got destroyed by the faux-gays of the "rights movement".
asciilifeform: phf: story appeared on alt.tasteless some time around '97 iirc.
asciilifeform: phf: the one with the folding keyboard ?
asciilifeform: phf: i wouldn't hire a fella with u.s. passport if i were k.
mircea_popescu: phf my bad, saffron
mircea_popescu: you ever heard sesame or whats her name phf ?
mircea_popescu: o look, phf had my idea, only a minute eartlier.

BingoBoingo: <phf> there are stores in u.s. where you can buy some quality rope. hemp, jute, nylon in garish colors, all by the meter. there's probably a harness worth of rope next to a dildo collection in every dorm << "Rural King" is the best of those places. Can get rifle, circus peanus, cattle prod, and flowers in the same trip.
mircea_popescu: phf no because after 60 years it will break bfrs :D
asciilifeform: phf: everybody and his mother has a copy of landau
asciilifeform: phf: at no point did i ever propose 'scan everything'
asciilifeform: phf: it is not uncommon for the listings to feature a link to a modern scan of the data sheet
ascii_field: iirc phf also did
trinque: phf: thanks for the example code for cl-irc; works well. I'm now porting over the deed handling code from my wad of python.
asciilifeform: phf: the 'translation is trivial' is the mega-mistake. go and bake, e.g., a sane allocator.
mircea_popescu: phf you're not required to agree to this inasmuch as you're using your own time & hands.
asciilifeform: phf: but skipped straight to the c on account of realizing that 99+% of the work is precisely in getting this to behave sanely
asciilifeform: phf: i actually started where you are now
asciilifeform: 'i wrote enough in c to be able to prime gpg machinery and send packets over the wire' suggested callout. but why not wait till phf wakes up and clarifies.
asciilifeform: phf: and i specifically didn't go with cl because this thing CANNOT cons
asciilifeform: phf: callouts to gpg are a dead end
mircea_popescu: phf no big deal, s'just a game
mod6: i wanna say it was phf's patches from back in July.
mircea_popescu: maybe phf, but the dude's not even bothered to collect the pile of mushrooms he earned doing i don't recall what for eulora
assbot: Logged on 05-11-2015 19:21:12; phf: ascii_field: that's the problem with a lot of lisp conversations here, your interlocutors have some vague idea about how things are done right now and in unix world. even unixisms are used not in their "pure form", but in their final gnu/linux state. there's complete lack of semantic match between that and historical lisp. ultimately debates are reduced to "macros are bad because cpp is bad"
ascii_field: phf: but, as i think has been well established, not money-cool.
ben_vulpes: nifty, phf.
ben_vulpes: phf: where's a sane place from which to procure gpg-error? i've found some text files scattered about the web but nothing in the gpgme lang/cl dir
thestringpuller: phf: ugh they made you do that shit too? we had to write malloc for the game boy advance, or a game boy advance game for a final project for course in C
ascii_field: phf: i tried to explain some of this in last night's thread
ascii_field: phf: THE SIMPLEST malloc() is 10x more complicated than, e.g, the gc engine in 'tinyscheme'
mircea_popescu: phf because unix runs on 486 and lisp does not.
ascii_field: phf: i was trying to see if anyone comes to this conclusion independently of my saying it.
mircea_popescu: phf so it does.
assbot: Logged on 05-11-2015 03:16:02; phf: mod6: you might be right not wanting to `use`. i decided to look at file::temp to see how they do ffi, but instead it's a custom perl written blob. probably reasonable to use, but.. in any case i recommend at least conforming to the api of mkdtemp("/tmp/fooXXX") => /tmp/fooAj5. i took a stab at a sample code, http://paste.lisp.org/display/158520, but there are some other things to keep in mind,
asciilifeform: phf: log in the airplane 'black box' sense only.
asciilifeform: phf: in 2007 it was - esp. if you're into laptops - ~the~ unix.
asciilifeform: phf: i still have an o2 at $redacted

assbot: Logged on 02-11-2015 04:29:40; phf: re watches, мы время знаем / в деревне без больших сует / желудок - верный наш брегет
assbot: Logged on 02-11-2015 03:34:54; phf: our moscow neighbor was a burned kgb spy, who upon his return from washington in the late 80s brought with him 5 boxes of tapes, recorded from u.s. cable television, commercials and all. i remember watching the whole thing, but i wouldn't be able to recall any specifics. i'm pretty sure it had the entire american ninja there, for example
assbot: Logged on 02-11-2015 03:37:59; phf: mircea_popescu: i think there are two movies about computers that are kind of worth watching, because they manage to broadly capture the period, the hackers and war games.
mircea_popescu: phf i really can't watch anything with/about computers
BingoBoingo: phf: Domain change, booted from hosting because Lardbarges uploaded CP and reported them to their then host
assbot: Logged on 31-10-2015 16:46:49; asciilifeform: phf: in case this wasn't obvious, i was not speaking of a ~literal~ return to v6
asciilifeform: phf: in case this wasn't obvious, i was not speaking of a ~literal~ return to v6 ☟︎
jurov: phf i proposed just ignore them
asciilifeform: phf: even utf8 is a non-solution because there remain multiple glyph mappings
v_diddy: ty phf et al
vulpes_a_hopital: ;;later tell phf yeah, yeah. mostly just bitching about shithub.
assbot: Logged on 30-10-2015 01:23:25; phf: different parts of the silicon do, where the relevant parts are located and what might be strategies for getting to them. unfortunately there was no video, but i found the slides for the curious log readers https://infocon.org/cons/Black%20Hat/Black%20Hat%20DC/Black%20Hat%20DC%202007/Presentations/JoeGrand_HardWare_Hacking/Papers/Die%20Analysis/bunnie-hackingsilicon.pdf
assbot: Logged on 30-10-2015 01:23:25; phf: i was at bunnie's talk (the guy behind novena) at 2005 toorcon, the subject was hardware r.e. and it covered the end to end process of discovering and extracting something like intel's rootkit from the die. the approach is to remove the outer plastic cover from the chip using some form of etching, image the exposed circuit with increasily higher resolution devices culminating with electron microscope and then f
mircea_popescu: phf "death". http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-10-2015#1311123 and prev. ☝︎
ascii_field: phf: i'd not be surprised if he 'solved' himself already.
mircea_popescu: phf maybe it's time to start a blog.
vulpes_a_hopital: phf has found his turdpile, will now entomologize
mircea_popescu: phf but that role specifically is soft and dumb.
mircea_popescu: phf nah, no perm.
mircea_popescu: phf one of the numerous women i proposed marriage to was actually a chainsmoker fortran programmer.
mircea_popescu: phf imagine the sort of unredeemable imbecile who imagines "errors in program code" is objective measure of anything.
pete_dushenski: "Prozac was found to be superior to placebo in only a third of studies." Boom-- Associate Professor. When meta-analyses look at only a few studies (e.g. N=4), if even one of them is a poorly designed study you can overwhelm-- or purposely extinguish-- what might actually be a real effect." << this one phf ?
assbot: Logged on 28-10-2015 18:13:22; thestringpuller: phf: yea steam is super picky, and takes a huge cut of payment for using their platform
assbot: Logged on 28-10-2015 18:10:09; phf: "steamworks sdk", which is what lets you store account details in the cloud, message in-steam people, do drm, "microtransactions" etc.
thestringpuller: phf: yea steam is super picky, and takes a huge cut of payment for using their platform ☟︎
mircea_popescu: incidentally let's ask phf the question too. hey, dja have any idea how to package c++ for steam ?
trinque: phf: makes sense; I'll see about that this weekend
jurov: phf, windows and linux builds are likely to depend on absolute paths, too, don't sweat it
jurov: phf: at all?
jurov: phf i did not even try llvm to eat it whole. first i wanted to try compile eulora into dynamic lib with gcc and link that one to interpreter
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell phf is the 'fmt' library a particularly bad idea?
ascii_field: ;;later tell phf https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7893008
ascii_field: ;;later tell phf http://lispm.de/symbolics-lisp-machine-ergonomics << interesting, recent
BingoBoingo: phf: Qntra takes too much of my time for that.
BingoBoingo: phf: Ah. Entire appeal of Bingo's occasional courier service would largely be derived from proximity to US highways 50 and 40 facillitating broad range of lateral movement.
BingoBoingo: phf: Nah, motor courier service operating out of the central US, but if you are closer...
BingoBoingo: <phf> assuming it's in DC << Awe, I though I would get a chance to open Bingo's courier service.
assbot: Logged on 20-10-2015 23:22:28; mircea_popescu: phf and what's this say about inflation ? note that they are artwork in any sense.
asciilifeform: phf: machine: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=51
asciilifeform: phf: i've been (futilely) selling it for ages.
mircea_popescu: phf wouldja pay him 4 btc for one ?
assbot: Logged on 20-10-2015 23:27:02; phf: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-VINTAGE-COMPUTER-SYMBOLICS-3600-LISP-MACHINE-KEYBOARD/321810769726 << was trying to buy this one, got as high as $1100 on best offer, guy wouldn't go any lower then $1400
mircea_popescu: phf> i suspect that failures in this case are seen as being on bleeding edge, sort of meta-meta-maker << maybe the truth is, the people who buy teslas don't have anywhere to go anyway.
pete_dushenski: phf lulz
pete_dushenski: phf lol inb4 3d printer option in-between backseats so kids can 'innovate' while on road trip
mircea_popescu: phf and what's this say about inflation ? note that they are artwork in any sense. ☟︎
pete_dushenski: phf almost as good as bitcoin, that. just harder to ship.
ben_vulpes: thanks phf
asciilifeform: phf: 3 of these 4 are well underway right here.
