Framedragger: but in all seriousness, i'm
a bit afraid, but it may be good education for me. not that i see this as
a game to be fucked up at the first step
Framedragger: i heard there was, like,
a way to, like, store results from
a dynamic system, to be served in
a static manner
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform jus' sayin', it's
a little more elbow grease to dump and eat the whole blockchain than to just make
a copy
mircea_popescu: btw Framedragger, you realise that once i link you, the bots will notice, and you'll eventually get the phf treatment,
a month or w/e later ?
mircea_popescu: but to be perfectly fair - it's pretty much the mental default of bois, so. the 1 in 10ish or so dominant chick is probably
a larger percentage of the respective population.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, /me has profile on bdsm site.
a good third of the others checking it out are self-styled dominant dudes.
Framedragger: nasa's coding manual (which doesn't allow recursive code - because the rovers are, you know, sorta far away, and you write in
a turing complete language) may have it - i wonder
Framedragger: look at that one person knows to actually include human readable timestamp into the inside of
a pgp signed message which deals with timing-sensitive info!!!
mircea_popescu: how do i check if kth of n elements was or was not initialized ? read
a list n-1 long ?
mircea_popescu: incidentally Framedragger the problem of "we'll just initialize in
a soup" is
a lot deeper than previously thought. in
a merciless language like C, the fact that we're the first to come up with the "fucking initialize in alphabetical roder!" is indicative of the brain rot.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: no disagreement there; just pointing out that sometimes small arrangement disagreements still prop up; say, different order of variable initialization (which otherwise bears no actual significance); etc. of course one *could* have
a convention spec so precise taht it would include things like "if there is arbitrary order of initialization of $x then default to alphanumerical order".
mircea_popescu: it is prolly best practice to have all serious V projects include
a "conventions" file where to list all this. "1. tabs not spaces, bitch!" etc.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Framedragger i'm not the end all be all in project management for computer software. however, it seems to me "differently arranged lines" is
a fucking weird problem to have. really, you can arbitrarily sort programs ? in what language, html ?
mircea_popescu: if they put in the extra half hour to write
a joint statement of their individual solutions they'd produce code that'd shame gabriel.
mircea_popescu: it takes
a bit more time, but it guarantees
a result MUCH better than current.
mircea_popescu: ah, that sort of conflict is to be resolved talmudically : they both review the code, jointly issue
a version./
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: you mean in the sense of
a logical "third"? i'm not sure. i guess i get it conceptually, re. conflicts; but on
a more mundane practical level, conflicts happen because, say, two people implemented some particular thing
a bit differently; or their feature touched upon code from another place which was also being worked at; whatever
mircea_popescu: (incidentally - "conflicts", as
a git/github concept are both
a)
a direct equivalent of doublespends and b)
a very convenient and for this reason perhaps deliberate rock under which to hide from responsibility
mircea_popescu: but if they want to work with you on X, there's nothing to keep them from putting the 2nd in
a - presumably - different environment.
mircea_popescu: if people want to have
a working product, or evaluate your person, they will put the first in their sig files.
Framedragger: shit, i just got what you're trying to say - i'm slow. it's only
a publishing mechanism. how to collaborate internally is another matter. yes, nice separation of concerns. (though i suspect people have thought how to do proper collaboration in V as well - emails with vdiffs etc)
mircea_popescu: so collaboration, inasmuch as it's
a private act (your tulpas, your friends, w/e) needn't be on v ; just like it needn't be on github, or on git. lots of code development happens on the holy napkin.
mircea_popescu: you and your coworker will likely not need, or want to eat the overhead, of keeping track of who owes who coffee via blockchain. also we don'tgive
a shit, sort it out yourselves.
mircea_popescu: V is
a publishing mechanism. it allows people to interact that don't know each other. it is very much like bitcoin : to achieve this glorious ends it has some costs.
Framedragger: right. perhaps it's
a matter of writing scripts to automate this stuff for V.
☟︎ Framedragger: mircea_popescu: there is an implied assumption here of
a "large enough" codebase (deliberately vague quantifier here). why i'm using it for scriba: 'cause i like it; and the latter's not
a great argument. *but* if you have
a large enough project with multiple people working on it, then:
mircea_popescu: (and ftr : the "faster" angle is
a minor concern here. human on foot ought to do ~10-12kph ; there's no guarantee car manages to do half that. meanwhile, the "not cutting your soles to shreds" IS
a major concern.)
mircea_popescu: "don't go to frat party barefoot, here's
a car" is
a shitload better than "don't go to frat party barefoot, here's the bus to church"
mircea_popescu: Framedragger tell you what, if i'm on any page like that and i right click an url it gives me
a fucked up thing that dun work rather than
a link to the thing i right clicked on. so i'm stuck processing them further.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: just so you know, no need to manually alter urls yourself anymore. unless you have
a fetish for that, of course!
trinque: "automatic merging" meanwhile isn't even
a thing. that two hunks in
a file didn't collide has no bearing on whether they semantically ought to coexist.
trinque: Framedragger: your branches are merely pointers to different heads in
a tree
Framedragger: ftr there's now
a kind of deployment process so i have to make changes in dev branch, make
a commit, and then pull from
a separate repo which has the dev branch as its upstream. AND I LIKE IT THAT WAY!!1
mircea_popescu: lol this dumb shit seriously exist ? "find
a gold digger online dot com" ?
mircea_popescu: fatlogic. so fat woman isn't going to tell him all he wants ot hear ; this is
a skinny chick skill only.
mircea_popescu: !~later tell asciilifeform it's either
a short church hymn or (as used here) the "general rule".
jhvh1: asciilifeform: Error: "s" is not
a valid command.
BingoBoingo: Looks like MAO-ism in the Nepali sense where every political party is
a different kind of MAOist party
mircea_popescu: but in any case : you couldn't just BUY
a hotel reservation. you had to get tickets.
mircea_popescu: so.. handful of girlz, yes, and
a bunch of dorks, yes. numbers check out.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re "handful of biological women" : there was at no point in the history of porn that i;m aware of,
a differential lower than three degrees of magnitude between the chick count and the dork count.
mircea_popescu: much like kid in soviet lands, with
a catalogue for to apply stamps for
a prize. there's the spaces clearly delineated ; and no stamps. ever.
mircea_popescu: currently appears as "coven of women wanted to be slaves - as women often do ; ended up stuck with
a bunch of beta dorks, because whereby to get
a master! did the best possible under circumstances, which is... at best pretty fucking weird."
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-08: [01:57:58] <BingoBoingo> I was not surprised twas
a white gurl
shinohai wouldn't be surprised if this thing has fix-
a-flat titjob

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i do not have sufficient lsd to say what. << Go to any big box garden center. Search the housplants for
a big ole San Pedro cactus, they will have at least one. Eat the whole thing.
thestringpuller: nah. this book was launched as part of
a "touring strategy" because 5 wheel solutions can't get any actual work

a strange monastery with its regulations do not go
mircea_popescu: back when i was younger i wrote twenty articles
a week!
scriba: [4/5] [21:31:35] <mircea_popescu> in other random, anyone play
a game called "wyvern" ?
a111: Logged on 2016-09-07 00:44 mircea_popescu:
a government can never be solvent ;
a government can never operate legally.

a pull-starter clacks

a particularly good tool for serious Emacs users because even though it's written in C, it crashes like
a mature C++ application." mwahahaha
