mircea_popescu: currently the dependency is bdb + ext? ; if it becomes ext? it is less not same.
mircea_popescu: so there's no "replacing". excising part of the tumour.
mircea_popescu: this is a misrepresentation : the turd is in there already.
mircea_popescu: (and if the foregoing didn't happen where you went to school... you didn't.)
mircea_popescu: you ever go to school ? what usually happens there's a chick there that's really good pre-puberty. then she starts bleeding, and she skips some classes / homeworks / attentionpaying. and then... she can never catch back up again. because interlocking.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: what i want to hear is, (preferably proof) as to why journaling filesystem can't store files in directories!
mircea_popescu: Framedragger dun worry about it. lordship coming up for discussion soon anyway, and ima propose you (an' some other fellows), so.
mircea_popescu: (for shits and giggles, anyone looked at what happens once blockcount overflows ?)
mircea_popescu: (pretending for a second the design is sane, which it isn't -- who the fuck counts by int a set of hashed items omfg)
mircea_popescu: can definitely also store by shifted blockheight, 0000/0000 etc. it will still be a thing as large as the other one
mircea_popescu: there's an item in the specification of journaling that it must not work which i missed or something ?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger no seriously, nothing wrong with it. now we have numbers. they're good to have.
mircea_popescu: phf well he's considering what he's considering, seeing how he's doing the measuring. i was kinda biasing towards ext2 in the previous discussions (which i guess nobody reads or something ?) , but hey, can't impede man's independent manhood!
mircea_popescu: Framedragger in any case i don't expect to optimize BEFORE DESIGNING holy shit. talk about early optimizations. this is the measuring stage. you optimize nothing.
mircea_popescu: (and if this is untenable, THEN THE DESIGN GETS MODIFIED!!! no fucking "solutions" of shoving shit under carpet and letting mp discover it in 2017 whiole spending however many years eating food we didn't pay for and pretensions to "engineering" and "intellectual lifge" we don't deserve.)
mircea_popescu: if the total number of blocks your machine can produce is 2**4096, then your design will also store 2**4096 blocks.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger the point is that we don't want to make any more provedly breaking systems.
mircea_popescu: so your storage looks like /(blocks, txn, addies, whatever)/abcd/etc/(abcd.dat or abcd.symlink etc)
mircea_popescu: 2. index to those blocks (say, eg, to find txn, or anything else) is stored in a SEPARATE dir structure, and at the bottom there's simlinks to the block files.
mircea_popescu: 1. actual blocks (1mb files) are stored in a directory structure, based on their hash say. this is 8 deep because hey, max filecount in a dir, we want to make a proper system.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger suppose you store the blocks whole. what is the seek time of one dozen 1mb files dispersed randomly in a 8 deep directory structure, defined as (time when all are in ram) - (time when call was made) ?
mircea_popescu: "oh i had a job i went to work through traffic every morning"
mircea_popescu: NONE OF THEM DID ANYTHING USEFUL. AT ALL. BUNCH OF PRETENTIOUS POINTLESS USELESS IMBECILES NOT WORTH PISSING AWAY FROM!
mircea_popescu: yeah i don't have a problem with you. still monumentally pissed off.
mircea_popescu: im not using this thing. how is it better than windows ?
mircea_popescu: ie, the reason usgtard is all "oh, random is not really broken" when phuctor came out exactly reduces to "well, it's fucking broken, but you should see the filesystem!"
mircea_popescu: contrary to what ANYONE may pretend, ext4 IS NOT A FS!!!! it's a ridiculous toy at best.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes there is an ancient observation (toqueville) that slavery is not unbearable to peoples in proportion to its intensity, but in proportion to the velocity of its reduction. he supports it by showing that the germans, more abject slaves in 1700 than any central asian people, found their situation tolerable ; whereas the french, significantly freer ~and becoming freer~ found the uninstantaneous speed of the change INTO
mircea_popescu: phf entirely idle example, no more important than strand of hay, which is why chosen here, illustrates beautifully.
mircea_popescu: none of the self-harming behaviours of mankind are examined, or deliberately chosen
mircea_popescu: why phrase it as this rather than plainly "i will" ? to place disincentive on others doing it ? (hey, if i do it he won't) rather than incentive (he's doing it, let me do it too) ?
mircea_popescu: if you -ev people doing base work, you -ev your own future.
mircea_popescu: consider the point!
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-11#1625177 << to this i could say, "the defensive play, of course, being to always link to the baseline when a field is discussed" to which his retort would be, of course, "yeah and he;ll just say a string with kindergarten in it".
☝︎ mircea_popescu: listen, you will find ~same wherever you drill, old democrats, "russian engineers" active pre 1990, etc.
mircea_popescu: nobody ever kicks anyone out of a dinner for being vegetarian, why the hell would anyone worry what people think of him for not having done x thing de rigueur.
mircea_popescu: hey, they're free people self determination etc rite ?
mircea_popescu: a large part of the problem being that in a "democracy" there's ~no incentive to behave in a less shitty manner.
mircea_popescu: alternatively, they a) didn't know (either item) ; b) didn't care ; c) didn't know they don't know ; d) didn't care they don't know and so folllowing.
mircea_popescu: suppose in the future that's how it works, dating consists of about 5bn notifications ~per capita~ of "hey, x is about to go out with $randomdude"
mircea_popescu briefly imagines how a world like that would be, where he;'d get notifications of every vaguely eligible bachelorette on an hourly basis. good god what a terrible crapsack fit for sf.
mircea_popescu: even now, you understand this alfie, EVEN NOW there's girls spreading for random dorks somewhere notwithstanding you're looking for a girl just like them. and they won't as much as whatsapp a notification to you!
mircea_popescu: they will lose random single digit % of mailings inexplicably impredictably and irrecoverably.
mircea_popescu: ie, they may have proven themselves to you, but they have not to me. as far as im concerned, stroutsup = dks = tim swanson = leah what's her ass = etcetera.
mircea_popescu: phf my conclusion is built out of a lot of disinterest, mind.
mircea_popescu: person > 50yo, their brain likely isn't connected. to anything.
mircea_popescu: the "set of people who bought lispm" have nfi what lispm even is, on average.
