Naphex: why would you do anything on a hypervisor you don't control is beyond me.
dub: !t m s.mpoe
decimation: asciilifeform: after reading that chapter, it appears that ferroresonant transformers help with voltage regulation, suppressing harmonics and transients, as well as riding through nasty undervolt conditions (that kill switching power supplies). They aren't very helpful for momentary outages, as you have said.
decimation: asciilieform re: transformer isn't nonlinear resonance something to be avoided? How does the circuit maintain its nolinear resonance with variable load conditions.
decimation: asciilifeform re: truecrypt audit >> it is indeed old news, but I didn't see the point emphasized on the channel
BingoBoingo: !t m f.mpif
mircea_popescu: dude is it great that these aren't related and so p2 can cover p4 etc
mike_c: she won, but it didn't cover the small hedge
mircea_popescu: "I haven't heard from my lawyer exactly how much that's going to be," he said.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: why would you phrase it that stupidly << the answer is, because i haven't the titanic brain that would be needed to come up with a 'smart' way to phrase it. so generally i don't bring the subject up, unless asked first. 'basic research' is a fundamentally... unreasonable proposition from the ROI standpoint. i'm not particularly good at justifying unreasonable things.
kakobrekla: and afaik bs did another audit recently, where it shows they have less btc in books t han in the last one
mircea_popescu: it wasn't ever, but hey.
nubbins`: not sure why ya wouldn't
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the proverb was attributed to mathematician alan perlis. i wasn't there when he uttered it. here's the context where i last mentioned it: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1390
jurov: the shirt won't last so long
assbot: Swift does unicode: http://t.co/0EiCec6cx4
asciilifeform: from apple's point of view - it isn't quite enough to have an effective vendor lock-in through obj. c and the mac api - it is necessary to breed programmers who can't even -think- on a competing platform.
asciilifeform: i did get a number of people playing with fpga (the closest thing to 'freedom' in this context, that i know of) who perhaps wouldn't have otherwise.
diametric: you can have all the architecturally pure things in the world, but they don't amount to shit if they don't actually manage to accomplish work.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: they see it as "bitcoin isn't ready for apple" << they're right, too. i don't have a mpoe-pr large enough to swat all the fucktarded us consumers thinking they'r eentitled to shit because their govt paid me taxes or something
mike_c: those were actually off by a factor of 10, but they all were so it doesn't really matter.
jurov: yes it is inevitable if people who know better won't do anything for kids because they want 100% architectural purity without compromises
jurov: why can't you just change rpi into lisp machine instead of all that complaining?
asciilifeform: net earth will be programming these idiotic boxes pretty soon if managers don't wise up to the fact that the equivalent of automatic switches already exist and have done so for at least 20 years.'
asciilifeform: 'I remember someone saying that if it hadn't been for automatic switches in the telephone network, the entire population of planet earth would have had to be telephone operators to handle the load of telephone usage in 1993 or thereabout. I get the eerie feeling that because modern computer systems are so incredibly braindamaged in their design and in the tools used to program them, the entire population of pla
benkay: "but you can't possibly fix five decades of institutional lock-in!"
Naphex: so don't do that :)
asciilifeform: mike_c: it wouldn't be too far off the mark to say that i like common lisp because 'slime' is possible for it, rather than vice-versa.
Naphex: i don't doubt they exist
mike_c: Naphex: mtgox would have managed to suck in any language. i just feel bad for good programmers who somehow have ended up using php. probably the same as asciilifeform feels for all of us that don't use lisp.
pankkake: I haven't tried haskell at all but it's definitively on my list of things to try out - perhaps the only one actually
benkay: jvm issues are unless i miss my read (which is possible and do correct me plz) along the lines of 'don't let people have access to your box and don't run java as a consumer'
pankkake: it doesn't seem especially related to clojure
Mats_cd03: the frameworks don't look ready for production
benkay: which i guess some people don't think about?
benkay: other major points are "don't allow users to see each others data!"
benkay: <Mats_cd03> benkay: http://www.lispcast.com/clojure-web-security // i read that quite a while ago. a few kinda boil down to 'don't be retarded'.
nubbins`: they see it as "bitcoin isn't ready for apple"
nubbins`: but "apple isn't ready for bitcoin" isn't how apple sees it
assbot: I knew I couldn't build a cat - Everything2.com

mircea_popescu: don't forget biggest, somehow this matters.
fluffypony: she: "why doesn't someone just make a post and say that nobody must sell Bitcoin under $700, and then it will go up over $700?"

BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Nah, the midwest and south aren't too different this time of year other than the particulars that make the heat and humidity suck
gribble: Error: User doesn't exist in the Rating or GPG databases. User must be GPG-registered to receive ratings.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: unfortunately usagi doesn't keep comprehensive records like yourself so I have to guess
mircea_popescu: %t
mircea_popescu: ya well, we can't all be informed and shit.
BingoBoingo: Naphex: It isn't really, but supports the idea that the worst must be assumed
pankkake: my own tries at trading btc/eur haven't been very successful. at least I know what I'm not good for
BingoBoingo: I still can't belive Usagi called me a fund manager. I manage four piles of money. Everything that goes into making it a fund is through Mircea. This distinction is evidence of the root of Usagi's failure.
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: And remember that a small number of positive rating isn't necessarily an endorsement.
BingoBoingo: I'm not at all surprised this http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2014/06/01/may-combined-trading-statement/ didn't spark f.mpif trading activity in either direction.
BingoBoingo: !t m f.mpif
thestringpuller: and they say "Wow this isn't so bad"
thestringpuller: then I felt a bit sad that humans can be so stupid they don't know they're stupid.
pankkake: so I could do everything I want with a simple USB key, but wouldn't mind another layer of security, however crappy itis
pankkake: and I don't think anyone could really manage to steal and replace the unencrypted data
mircea_popescu: didn't find him there
nubbins`: don't nud your head at me!
jurov: lol one can't just send t-shirts to argentina?
fluffypony: thestringpuller: I see you're fighting a losing battle with Mr. It's-Not-My-Fault-I-Didn't-Do-Anything-Wrong
thestringpuller: when will we get "Not a member Bitcoin Foundation" t-shirts
nubbins`: fair warning, probably won't print any unless we get 12+ people ordering em
fluffypony: nubbins`: when are you designing b-a t-shirts? you know we'll all buy and you can make a smart profit off it
danielpbarron: well they definitely shouldn't get a -1; I don't trust the first guy, so why would I trust his negative ratings?
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, that definitely doesn't work like any group algebra i ever heard of
assbot: Figs comments on CMV: if I know Perl or Python, I don't need to learn bash.
fluffypony: maybe he doesn't know how IRC works?
mircea_popescu: i wasn't distinguishing.
pankkake: I don't have any clear text backup
fluffypony: then having a million site and customer backups won't help us to continue functioning immediately
mircea_popescu: much like business didn't mean farming in 1514, unless your business sucked.
mircea_popescu: if buenos aires sinks tomorrow mpex won't be disrupted in any sense. business doesn't mean anything physical unless your business sucks
mircea_popescu: the people who can't afford to call to australia are mary-sue-ing
mircea_popescu: i am literally getting a billion dollar idea a day just walking down the fucking street and noticing that wait, they actually don't have x ? bwahahahaha etc.
mircea_popescu: if you can't make a million here, there's something seriously wrong with your head.
jurov: or kako's utter fail he isn't asking more, too
pankkake: ;;later tell mircea_popescu storing your only two backups in the same city is no doubt risky, but still it's unlikely that you manage to salvage none if case of a natural disaster. one of the reasons I don't think paper is the ultimate backup though
artifexd: Unfortunately they don't take plastic. Only wire transfers and forms of money-by-mail.
