Apocalyptic: <mircea_popescu> or for that matter at all tested. // not sure there is something to be really tested
PeterL: ;;later tell pete_dushenski hmm, your blog is on scoopbot's list, I am not sure why it is not shoing up, I will look into it
mod6: <+ascii_modem> speaking of - iirc it was gonna be configable chkpoints , not none at all ? << i guess i wasn't aware of the 'configurable' part, just was going by the todo list: http://wiki.bitcoin-assets.com/0.5.3-todos
mod6: <+ascii_modem> neh he snipped whole thing << yeah.
mod6: and DB_LOG_AUTO_REMOVE
mod6: set DB_TXN_WRITE_NOSYNC
mod6: set set_lg_max to 1M
mod6: changed dbenv.set_lk_max_locks to 40000
mod6: changed dbenv.set_lk_max_objects to 40000
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem i just assumed he implemented the "no checkpoints" in the shape of a "set your own, defaults to 1" sort of thing
mircea_popescu: for dbenv.set_lk_max_locks and what else ?
mircea_popescu: jurov: ;;later tell mircea_popescu x.idiff.dec expired < myeah.

decimation: ascii_modem: as in, it draws massive current for short bursts and derps idlely otherwise?
undata: ascii_modem: I spent a bit of time today researching e-ink displays
decimation: ascii_modem: even LED backlights?

gabriel_laddel: ascii_modem: thanks. a concise phrasing for my project still hasn't come to mind....
ascii_modem: gabriel_laddel: try chemgroup's 'MOE'
ascii_modem: gabriel_laddel: for what?
gabriel_laddel: ascii_modem: do you have any favorite organic chem programs or books you'd care to recommend?
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem except no "embargo" by the small against the large ever worked in fucking history.
mircea_popescu: mike_c for technologiclaly inferior tribes, yes, it is.
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem just the very simple fact that if i say "a man" then that's that, whereas if you try to show "a man" you won't be able to. which is how most films are shittier than the books they're based on. the forced mistake of having to provide all the data visual requires to work.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel sure, but the gui of "google earth" is a needles contrivance.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I'm not a visual thinker either - at least, never have been described as such. That said, GUIS are nice in certain circumstances.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel i am fortunate to not be much of a visual thinker.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: do you depend on opengl, use 2d, directx, proprietary graphics library written in assembler...?
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem this seems altogether a common experience.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: thanks for explaining. This aside I must admit I'm interested in knowing if you've got the 3D earth populated with all sorts of interesting information.
decimation: !up gabriel_laddel
BingoBoingo: !up ascii_modem
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: A = programmer unemployment rate, B = you do all your research by hand?, C = 3D earth populated with interesting information?
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: please elaborate?
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel but that is a wholy distinct matter from working and job discussions.
gabriel_laddel: <mircea_popescu> gabriel_laddel i get it i get it, my point was more along the lines of, nobody can really do this for you, as a "consumer" sort of thing. << So you do all your research by hand? Also, do you have a rotating 3D globe on your computer that allows you to highlight/heatmap known uranium deposits, nuclear reactors, oil reserves, population stats etc.?
mircea_popescu: im sending sexy_saffron over to your house to whip you.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: also, thanks for upping me. my keys got destroyed in a botched backup and I don't know if I'll be able to recover them. until I sink some time into that task - no L2.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel my point was more along the lines of, unless you actually work in hardware maintenance, you are connecting to your job over the internet anyway.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: programmers who depend on some sort of regionalized unemployment rate can't possibly be all that skilled. << this is true, however if an economy thinks itself of being in dire need of programmers anyone with a brain can fly blind into the country and remain relatively assured of their future prosperity without having to put too much thought into it. This is going to go away at some point in the futur
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel i get it i get it, my point was more along the lines of, nobody can really do this for you, as a "consumer" sort of thing.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: what makes you thik he'd be in a position to write it ? guy never left australia. << He (or another) can supply the aforementioned article without getting up from their chair all that often. I'm just looking for some basic/tedious research - not boots on the ground scouting (though I am not opposed to this).
mircea_popescu: "In particular, if IRET executes on a writeable kernel stack (this was always the case before 3.16 and is sometimes the case on 3.16 and newer), the assembly function general_protection will execute with the user's gsbase and the kernel's gsbase swapped."

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: iirc, that was mircea_popescu describing the virtues of working on inventions in a yurt <<< iirc that was mostly a joke built on the probleblems of garbage collecting.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel: wtf is even being discussed. <<< nerds doing metaphores. it's a sight.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: absolutely correct. should be something more along the lines of "unemployment rate for skilled programmers". <<< programmers who depend on some sort of regionalized unemployment rate can't possibly be all that skilled.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel: cazalla: consider this a request for a qntra article entitled <<< what makes you thik he'd be in a position to write it ? guy never left australia.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: If USia disappears Israel probably becomes untenable as a state <<< i have my doubts. for all their noise, the palestinians do not seem genuinely interested in running a state.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: the very reason why it is still trivial to leave usa is the lack of an obvious destination. << this is not much unlike proposing that the reason the gun's not fired is "because the bullet has nowhere to go".
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: dosen't matter really. have you met any American cattle? when the country fails they'll find themselves rejected everywhere / killed outright. << the younger females will still be usable.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, yeah, i'll leave the mac 10 spray it everywhere and hope it hits to someone else
mircea_popescu: mike_c: i hear bitcoins in argentina are dirt cheap too <<< nah, they just don't really exist. yet.

mircea_popescu: "Luke-Jr: adlai: Catholicism has always made a big deal of any attempts to change doctrine; one couldn't do that unnoticed" << now s/catholicism/bitcoin/ and pray. i know ben_vulpes is at times worried on the score.

decimation: ah reading wikipedia, apparently the australian version of woolworths just stole the name, no actual business connection to the us store: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woolworths_Limited
thestringpuller: LOL pete_dushenski watched degrassi jr. high ?!?!?
cazalla: pete_dushenski, i'd wager costco isn't doing too well here. aldi enjoys far more popularity as an alternative to the main 2 coles and woolworths
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes well... no, not yet. though it seems like an appropriate thing to add to the 2015 resolutions
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: did you ever actually close on any ru bonds?
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell gabriel_laddel stumpwm it is, although the nomenclature stems from ratpoison unless if i'm doing my archaeology correctly
thestringpuller: oh its a pete_dushenski
