mp_en_viaje: everything else is you know, subrural. not
as in, evansville rural, but
as in "there is not a hotel here, just a gas station" rural.
trinque: mp_en_viaje: I might be able to travel in summer, don't mind the mugginess
as long
as there's beach.
diana_coman: bvt: I'll have to check closer what's going wrong with the script on my machine
as there seems to be some weird going on, possibly at output rather than anything deeper.
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: thank you and no worries at all; I hope I didn't come across
as not wanting to visit either, it's more the 12+ hours travel one way that gives me pause.
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, i hope it doesn't come across
as any kind of disinterest or noninviting. i very much would like to do more steaks, but i don't want to produce an obligation.
billymg: at least
as an interim until proper theming in mp-wp is solved, just so the correct select mechanism is at least included in the package on first press
billymg:
as for vpatching the server side select mechanism, since mp-wp ships with two base themes a patch could at least be made to include the select mechanism in those. seeing
as how most people copy/paste one of the included theme directories to customize/create their own
mp_en_viaje: i practically have the choice of either publishing a screamingly offensive non-patch in november of 2019, or else wait until there's a place to meaningfully add it
as a patch ; which necessarily is stalled on "what the fuck is the correct cut for themes, cuz it seems evident it isn't what's now done", which in turn rests on a half dozen or so more nodes that are all further away from what is actually being worked now.
diana_coman: trinque: the ref for the select mechanism is mp_en_viaje's link above aka the article on trilema really; not a vpatch
as such afaik.
trinque: diana_coman: could perhaps include it
as a util you can pull into your theme or not
mp_en_viaje: did it do anything yet,
as far
as can be directly determined ?
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: ah, with the 1st of Feb, yes;
as the silent poison said
the circus is still on though.
deedbot: dorion rated hanbot 9 << she delivered numerous righteous smackdowns to idiots
as MPOE-PR to help protect Bitcoin during its infancy. writes at thewhet.net
mp_en_viaje: i guess
as a concept it harkens back from an olden time, when people were comparatively more superficially equipped and more superficially involved ; today the proper avenue for making a timeline-breaching note on some topic is a comment the person's blog (and if they don't have one that'd cotextually-support the concern then "person" who ?) ; whereas non-timeline-breaching points obviously belong in their day's log context,
as they can't be meaningf
mp_en_viaje: so i dunno, maybe we don't even want it
as such ?
mp_en_viaje: 0 chances ima deploy some patch you cooked up
as things stand right now. also 0 chances ima deploy any patch baked of this "21:02. tried a patch, not worked. 00:12 oh now fixed it. i think" washington post / planeshift "development" model/nonsense.
mp_en_viaje: or what exactly is the idea, erryone's gonna be so fucking impressed with the whole "oh, you know what, ye olde bitcoin has, among its many race conditions, one where you can dos it by getblock spam" that we'll just move right back on to 2015 ? it ain't ever gonna be 2015 again, make a blog, find a master, do some work
AS THEY DIRECT YOU, and so on.
mod6: Apparently main.cpp:ProcessMessage() allows for quite a number of these getdata commands before flagged
as 'Misbehaving'. But I've not seen waves like this before now. Quite possible I've just not seen them either tho.
ossabot: Logged on 2020-02-24 00:47:20 mp_en_viaje: anyways, why struggle with your "a sense of worthlessness" ? embrace it. you ARE fucking worthless, what of it. of course you are, there you sit an alleged adult, scraping corrosion off the free part of battery terminals,
as if this purely aesthetic approach to technology will do something ; and then calling the exact thing applied elsewhere "research" for purely psychotic reasons, and so on in this vein all aroun
mp_en_viaje: hat you do in your "inner struggles"
as well, dick about with the visible corrosion around the clamps.

mp_en_viaje:
as to the practical matters, the only use of coca cola is
as corrosion stripper, especially off metal ; baking soda i guess works, but honestly i never used any rust stripper besides the great products of the coca cola co in decades, there's no need to.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: This is a project I could start warming up again and structuring
as I work on building my toolset and working towards some sort of actual rather than UStarded level of literacy. If I break these particular mid-19th century retards up into bite sized chunks and publish indictments/annotations on the blog in a structured way, I would be filling a gap in documenting how intentional the failure of US "education" was.
mp_en_viaje: (all this sprung up at the time out of a sort of "positive socialism", whereby some strand of
the pulpit lobby came up with the idea of constructing some kind or manner of alternatives to hanging out in bars,
as part and parcel of their dogged dedication to destroying their opposition
as they perceived it. the end product was a sort of pompous and boring c
mp_en_viaje: ultimately, alfisms like the 'malleus_mikehearnificarum' are of little political consequence, coming
as they are from an ispless band of socially isolated autists.
mp_en_viaje: the private networks are generally obscure and mostly handrolled ; but they do not differ
as much
as the people involved like to imagine.
mp_en_viaje:
as far
as the public network's concerned everyone's stuck with some version of postel's nonsense for the obvious reasons
mod6: Your notion is correct on the former, 'more exposed to potentially misbehaving or sybil peers'.
As to the latter, I suspect you will be connected simply more prb nodes. It is possible that you'll also find, in a 'subgraph', nodes that are playing nicely, but seems less likely.
mod6: Heads up to TRB users, seems that nodes have wedged on block 618406. A simple restart of TRB seemed to resolve it. Not sure on the cause yet. Will update with more information
as I have it.
mircea_popescu: the notion of trees
as an approach to human knowledge is such alien mp-arcana not because mp came up with anything, but because everyone else failed 6th grade, can't take sentence produce the grammatical tree therein.
mircea_popescu: it's true, too. esl tards are UNIQUELY illiterate, you've not seen anything like it, "college graduates" with a sub 1k word vocabulary and understanding of grammar so rudimental
as to render them incapable of theoretical production on the level of naming the fucking cases, or practical accomplishment on the level of analysing one phrase...
mircea_popescu: So IMHO it's worth stating in the documentation that some command is expected to have certain flags available, which in the end would lead us to a complete enumeration of system utilities and the functionality they provide, which IMHO would be worth at least
as much
as the current POSIX spec. << this btw is eminently a service and likely to produce the way forward.
mircea_popescu: neways. the cows have enough sense to find their own house, but only if the gate hasn't been changed recently -- the village cattle minder just takes them to the end of the village
as the air turns dusky, and they on their own time sorta lumber towards the respective storage units
jfw: I took it
as, "wait wut, do these people hate English or everything-but-English??"
mircea_popescu: i dunno what some illiterate moron deems problematic about that sentence, maybe it's the vocabulary, such
as the word "sin". god knows they have vocabulary problems all the damned time.
deedbot: hanbot updated rating of asciilifeform from 3 to -1 << For all his pretensions to personhood, this guy actually needed me to save him from a hotel bill he couldn't handle
as he was too stupid, neglectful, or both, to check out on his own. Years later he's decided to keep raging against acquiring basic skills by attempting to tarnish those who tried to help him. In a word, the ficklest friend I ever thought I had.
ossabot: Logged on 2020-02-18 20:10:44 mircea_popescu: incidentally, cristina topescu died recently,
as in, over xmas (this was the daughter of just such a wonder, the ONLY romanian sports commenter, one cristian topescu. socialist romania had one of everything, you knew what panties the girl has on before looking and you knew who was gonna narrate the game on the radio while you're looking). the chick was only famous for once on tv -- because hey, she followed the
mircea_popescu: anyways, contrary to the purportings and pretences traditionally
required by their culture, i do kinda suspect ye pantsuit gets pretty well overwhelmed in this here copacetic copse of #trilema
mircea_popescu: anyways, ff they had known they might have found a world of joy... but
as they lived on the midnight side of the mountain...
diana_coman: I winced at cristian topescu recollection
as I can still hear the descriptions of figure skaters' costumes, colours included, argghhh.
mircea_popescu: but i hope that she's regarding her death with the requisite superior detachement, feigned
as it may be. "well... that didn't whelm!"
mircea_popescu: rade,
as part of being independent liberated woman etc --
as a colt she wished something or the other re "oualelor de paste" which is an impossible construction derived off romanian ou ie egg by someone who doesn't understand how difficult genitives form. so she was celebrated for an april in song and lulz

mircea_popescu: the only problem is the very lulzy soviet-style gerontocracy involved. i mean, they've nobody but 90yos left to "leadership" them, and if they need somebody to star in a tv production it's gonna be a dude born in the 50s ?! still, today
as in 1970,
as in 1980,
as in forever, the heroes of socialist labour are the same exact physical items ?
diana_coman: iirc he worked
as an ok Wooster, seemed to fit fine.
diana_coman: I am still shocked at the idea that ...uhm, was Laurie...hot?
as in ..ever?
tecuane: welp my time is up and i didnt really learn anything i already knew apart from mircea_popescu likes using the synonym feature of microsoft word a bit too much and the dislike of translations is actually just not liking other languages
as opposed to "there might be bugs"
mircea_popescu: but, be that
as it may, "popularity", especially
as perceived by people not instrumented to measure anything, is no kind of basis for reason.
tecuane:
as an expert polyglot im sure you are the absolute benchmark for what is and is not "good code"
jfw: I at least haven't written a class except
as required for Python exceptions in years
mircea_popescu: it was a worse fucking idea than "object oriented", and it's high time it got marked
as such and put in the dustbin where it belongs.
mircea_popescu: ll be personally impacted by not being able to represent the "japanese current era" -- something i'm apparently able to represent right now, without using unicode for it (so perhaps, i'm saying, the problem is in the schmuck in question's
own head). that'd be it really, do your best under the constraints
as they are."
mircea_popescu: anyway, your statement is i guess something along the lines of "look, good fellows, your theory
as to how users matter is not an argument in the direction you wish to construe it, but exactly opposite. the republic specifically does not want there to be unicode support. if you implement it, that means the republic will fork and maintain your thing pre-implementation. if you do not implement it, some schmuck somewhere wi
bvt: diana_coman: answered your comment yesterday, uploaded the regrind of p.1 and p.2 yesterday
as well.
dorion: a reason I read the logs w/o talking was that very "try and figure out how to conduct myself such that the others don't puke."
as I had puked myself reading the various douchebags.
mircea_popescu: perhaps the best model to inform this issue'd be the western cowbody brought to boston, or any other such savage-in-london rapturous moments. well... do you suppose heaven has a stiff learning curve ? how to conduct yourself such
as all the others there don't throw up ?
ossabot: Logged on 2020-02-17 23:07:38 mircea_popescu: one is that the spec
as sketched by me is nowhere near mature enough for implementation in the first place ; it requires some actual looking at and discussion ; some prototyping, some trying out after it's mature before the implementation is actually in a state where anyone'd trust it with anything ; which first anythings will very likely NOT be the changing of how V works around it.
ossabot: Logged on 2020-02-17 09:37:40 diana_coman: maybe I'm not fully getting the idea of the manifest file here but my current understanding is that it's a record of the history and
as such I really don't see any case where something gets deleted from it - at most it gets branched from a previous version but that's still an added line to (a previous version of) the manifest file.
mircea_popescu: r instance by speciffically calling them for it point blank. for some reason he didn't do that though he self-evidently could have, maybe there's a reason for that other than his being shy, such
as perhaps that he doesn't wanna force march it, for which call there might in turn also be reasons and so on."
mircea_popescu: i get it, you're a nice fellow and would like for things to be good and work out. nothing wrong with that. you wanna help along with the things, excellent. the prompter's at "get the few who actually seem like they could have something intelligent to say on the topic to comment on the proposed spec ; an' help mp figure out why they don't apparently naturally want to ; but without going out of what he's doing, such
as fo
mircea_popescu: there's more, too but anyways, you're supposed to be aware of these things,
as part and parcel of what having an internal life of the mind ever means.
mircea_popescu: another reason is that this throwing darts work allocation method's never been observed to work in practice. the correct way to allocate work,
as actually observable in the damned logs you've supposedly read and re-read, actually works on a very hit-and-miss basis in the first place (owing to itemized an' specifically described failures an' assorted head cockroaches of the ~worthless white anglophone young male)
mircea_popescu: one is that the spec
as sketched by me is nowhere near mature enough for implementation in the first place ; it requires some actual looking at and discussion ; some prototyping, some trying out after it's mature before the implementation is actually in a state where anyone'd trust it with anything ; which first anythings will very likely NOT be the changing of how V works around it.
diana_coman: maybe I'm not fully getting the idea of the manifest file here but my current understanding is that it's a record of the history and
as such I really don't see any case where something gets deleted from it - at most it gets branched from a previous version but that's still an added line to (a previous version of) the manifest file.
mircea_popescu: but in any case, the math... actually, i suppose i might
as well make this an article huh. brb
mircea_popescu: the reason we want better tools is for to manage the interlocking system of options,
as per von moltke's doctrine (yes, fellow's not coincidentally mentioned ; but indeed has been for a long time among the greatest influences of manly sanity available), not to actually ~do~ anything forthwith.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: that is true re basic tools, certainly; it strikes me that we are for all intent and purpose "gathering" here in the forum, no? sure, presumably the blogs can work too
as alternative (they did or at least trilema did when needed) but still.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: hm, perhaps I can see the "retreat"
as that ie why not cooperate with the rest so that maybe one does x and another y and so on; rather than each tarabostes-style; but otherwise, I don't think there was much *else* to do.
mircea_popescu: but by now, "the west" is exactly in that fucking position, "oh, this is the pizzeria, you can't have some pizza, oh that was the steakhouse where i was gonna take my friend
as he was leaving, well... there was a queue so we ended up not going, that'll be our memory of our parting in year Z, how we were gonna but didn't because the regime is a piece of shit"
mircea_popescu: it couldn't be, in 1985 cluj, a case of "come meet me
at X for Y". it always had to be "[unless they're out]"
as a coda. unless theyre's a [too long] queue, etcetera.
mircea_popescu: whaack, you did produce grammatically correct trash. i can readily see whence the temptation comes, but what you have to take on faith (lacking
as of yet the capacity to for yourself distinguish) is that the various "similarily looking" trilema articles substantially aren't at all similar.
mircea_popescu: there isn't actually any shortage. the world outside the gates is actually so intractably boring & pointless, it's pretty much necessarily
as well
as universally the case 100% of all available activity will pour into the republic.
mircea_popescu: i mean, you can "ban", but the ban's gotta specify something, and whatever it specifies will be an arbitrary, user-selected string, such
as ip or box name or w/e
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, this'd be a good theory, except of course ethiopia is very small by african standards. about the same population
as the region of lazio at the time, like 10mn.
mircea_popescu: survived the italians which are totally european, didn't survive the redditards, which are just
as totally european
as the redditalians
BingoBoingo: Socialists had a coup. The depose 80 year old had health problems
as folks his age tend to. Still too much of a perceived threat to their more equal Africa and...
mircea_popescu: hanbot_abroad, incomprehensibly he got strangled
as an 80yo during some famine.
mircea_popescu: and, of course, bdsm. and all combinations -- including the typical 50yo moron with a "slave" who's a 20something female doing "rituals", such
as inane bullshit where she "swallows the ashes". and so on in this theatrically tedious vein.
mircea_popescu: there's self-evidently no reason such a thing
as an alleged Matt Micucci should exist, and definitely no good cause for it and similar nothings to aggregate, and for the resulting sadness to be labelled anyway other than "garbage".
diana_coman:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-02-06#1957921 - thanks; re that hook, I haven't seen it really and I doubt it exists
as such; thinking of it, it's more likely to be something of a side effect again of how the water plane, terrain and character sprite interact; for the time being I'll let it be
as it doesn't seem a high priority really.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: it has indeed everything needed
as far
as I know and certainly rsa, keccak, oaep, the whole package.
mircea_popescu: ditch the shitty hashes stick to keccak (which is particularly well fit for this job,
as it happens), ditch the bad parameters use something convenient (why are keys 4096 bits and the hash 128 ?)
jfw: observe for instance how the gardener nearly missed a couple patches anyway but I poked, not even being a signer of any
as yet
mod6: I like this better than mirrors too,
as it seems that those always tend to disappear or end up way out of date without explanation.
mod6: Yeah, not that we would want stuff from nonpersons, just in the case where,
as we've seen recently (even with my own blog) where it was down for a few weeks, or months
as people are between hosting or such.
jfw:
as always, keeping information alive requires live people to do it
mod6: TMSR Lords and others seem to publish all their code on their blogs, which, I think is fine. But my hang-up with allowing people to post TRB patches/seals on their blogs instead of sending them in is two-fold: 1) It puts it on me to chase these down. 2) Then I have to place them somewhere for long-term keeping anyway.
As we've seen, people's blogs get rather large, hard to find things, or disappear complet
