mircea_popescu: incidentally BingoBoingo what's the snag now ? your client ran off from under you after paying ?!
mircea_popescu: in keeping with the theme, "pedoworld reality distortion field" ends up spelled "wiki" in hawaii or some shit.
mircea_popescu: sorry for the constant complaints borne out of user error, plox don't take it to heart.
mircea_popescu: in this morn's stray thoughts : if "wife" ends up spelled "waifu" in japanese, is it the case "kungfu" really should be "knife" ?
mircea_popescu: !Q later tell spyked yo, feedbot's unwinding the whole history of comments on trilema at me fo rsome reason, halp!

mircea_popescu: this isn't a complaint -- i don't personally mind evil exists, nor do i believe it shouldn't exist or that its absence would signal any kind of improvement. without evil the world's boring as fuck, which is why idiots asking dumb questions like "how come an infinitely good god has small children raped to death" are fucking stupid. evil is a better addition to the world than fucking cinema, it'd be way too borning to try
mircea_popescu: from whence it can further spread -- much like camels who never saw other camels spit don't know how to spit nor ever spit, while camels who did see other camels spit do know how and actually do it, just so people don't come up with evil naturally, they just replicate it from having seen it before.
mircea_popescu: and everyone else is stuck somehow reconciling your supposed "great technical acumen" with your apparent incapacity to intellectually function enough to match a age-adequately developed nine year old slut -- which is incidentally how the elaborate narrative of the naysayers even evoloved over time : the others dealing with the anal child is how anal childhood even gets implanted in heads in the first place.
mircea_popescu: in the end, what you do is hang out with the other cripples. that's it, the loser table at the highschool cafeteria, where you tell each other stories of "how you aren't really geeks", and how one day you'll get the cheerleader, the usual fare. making pacts about losing your virginity by end of school...
mircea_popescu: your life becomes a carousel of a) identifying partitions upon the world that'll neatly divide it across the line of "this part exposes my dysfunction" / "this part doesn't expose my dysfunction" (definitionally an impossible task) and b) making up stories about how it all works out, or will, or whatever.
mircea_popescu: no sucks because... it really doesn't. once you decide you actually "like" your dysfunction, or in any case you're not equal to its remedial, you're stuck hanging out in #asciilifeform with all the other cripples.
mircea_popescu: every time you discover something, you get the same exact choice, again and again each time. you get the same choice that also happens to be the ~only~ meaningful choice you ever get, or ever could possibly get : are you going to fix it ?
mircea_popescu: so listen... while you were away there's been a lot of progress ongoing in the republic, these guys now have blogs and stick to publishing planning schedules and such wunderbar alien techs. you gonna catch up with the group ?
mircea_popescu: to the attack, but this was incorrect, at least regarding IPv4" << the moneyshot there.
mircea_popescu: this is ~all~ obviously crypto-matter (which'd explain why the forefuckwits managed it so poorly -- crypto is like the intellectual antithesis of moronman)
mircea_popescu: i must know, at the end of its run a) that it optimally used the bytespace by wringing out periodicity in the input ; b) that only the designated keys can ever get the input back out and c) that a specific set of occurences will not harm the contents. such as "two consecutive lost bytes once ; AND six independent lost bytes". or w/e it is. set percentually or w/e.
mircea_popescu: it's high fucking time for a ~comprehensive~ archival-and-encryption util that handles compression, encryption ~and error redundancy~!!!! correctly.
mircea_popescu: the WHOLE FUCKING POINT of "armored" mode is to armor it, you're not wasting those 40% extra bytes just for the sake of wasting them wtf.
mircea_popescu: so koch-gpg is, out of the box, worse than useless for archival : tar / zip / etc as they exist on unix-likes are fucked in the head enough such that if there's a byte error, either the remainder of the archive or the bytes past that one in the list are lost ; but this can be mitigated at least by having multiple copies. gpg however, multiple copies are equally useless, if none make it intact the contents is lost, because
mircea_popescu: in other "lulz", in the sense that koch & co are so fucking evil it boggles the mind : gpg has an ascii armored mode, which however contains no error recovery.
mircea_popescu: it's only interesting because it's how "bake own hardware" eventually starts ; sure as fuck can't have anything stalled on it.
mircea_popescu: i dunno this has anything to do with computers per se, or in other words even if you decide you want to write, or make pottery, or run an isp or whatever the fuck else, you'll just meet the same bugaboos in different skirts.
mircea_popescu: now, how can you live doing reporting without awk is beyond me.
mircea_popescu: at any rate transparently what php set out to be back in 1990s, "what if we had a web-awk???".
mircea_popescu: (notice, incidentally, how my bash / awk didn't betray me in "if($2 != day)" like your python betrayed you)
mircea_popescu: in fairness, sql is as much a programming language as any of them. bash, too.
mircea_popescu: from what i've seen, most people decide they don't really like computers once they get to know them at all.
mircea_popescu: i'll be back in settled circumstances willing and able to do such things sometime early next year.
mircea_popescu: lobbes, no but think about it, even if i add the dump now, it'll be 20+ hours until it ~completes~. i'd like to you know, have more than a day after that if a problem crops up. it's just not feasible anymoar.
mircea_popescu: so im guessing having failed to make it run in this window we'll look at it again when i'm back ?
mircea_popescu: ftr, today's the 5th, just started ; and it's also the absolute last day i can possibly receive this thing. after that, ima be on the road for a while.
mircea_popescu: Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
mircea_popescu: here's to hoping he shows up, im bored enough i'm here going through trilema logs and shit
mircea_popescu: i suppose it tries to put an a href inside an a href huh.
mircea_popescu: wtf they teach xtian masters of science in oklahoma is anyone's guess by this point.
mircea_popescu: i would FUCKING HATE IT if this is what i do for the coming years, find and fix lobbeslog bugs.
mircea_popescu is now somewhat petrified by the process, seeing how the first 2-3 errors were found on the spot, the 4th only once a few articles were in, and this last one only after a month was in.
mircea_popescu: aite, im stopping this. restate your thing properly! by which i mean, fix this one thing ; don't fix the rest of the issues, i've as you've seen meanwhile written bash around it.
mircea_popescu: please tell me you didn't do this systematically for EVERY month, whereby they all start on 2nd ?
mircea_popescu: with apologies to anyone who perhaps had business to transact today, #trilema is undergoing the second (and forevermore last) festival of log recuperation ; should be done in about twenty hours.
mircea_popescu: well, ~under~ the toolbars on trilema ; but fwis on most other blogs it ends up on top.
mircea_popescu: i suspect there might be a further issue with date formats there tho.
mircea_popescu: the problem with multiple posts on the same exact second is that mpwp sorts them incorrectly. (like feedbot, gets them in reverse order).
mircea_popescu: what i ~meant~ was, by-reference-to-bash-script published, "take ~TIMECNT~ to be so and so".
