trinque: decimation: schizophrenic goes it alone, creates a system far lispier than this gentoo mess I live in
trinque: something sad about that
decimation: well, the idea of executing everything in 'ring 0' is appealing to me
trinque: Every piece of code in TempleOS (except the initial kernel/compiler) is JIT compiled on demand. Yes that’s right – you can run a program without compiling it, simply by using an #include statement from the command line. << I believe this is one of asciilifeform's desirable system features
decimation: the concept of partitioning security zones on a 'c machine' is an excercise in sophistry
trinque: "TempleOS is a motorbike. If you lean over too far, you’ll fall off. Don’t do that." << this guy's awesome.

ben_vulpes: should i skip the desktop environment?
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: XFCE is prolly the best stating out option
trinque: could always copy your stump over
BingoBoingo: Or just use a bare windows manager
trinque: yeah xfce's lightweight, the various *box (openbox, fluxbox) ones are also very lightweight
ben_vulpes: myeah i plan to run stump
ben_vulpes: is teh desktop environment even strictly speaking necessary?
BingoBoingo: not really
trinque: my setup is xdm and stumpwm

trinque shudders to think of some of the worst abuses of excel spreadsheets he's seen
Pierre_Rochard: trinque: agreed, great role to hone my python skills in
ben_vulpes: Pierre_Rochard: get intimate with the sql
ben_vulpes: trinque likes to bang on about how it was designed as an end-user-programming environment for accountants
trinque: word
trinque: all the questions any account will ever want to ask are able to be expressed as SQL
trinque: worth considering how close you may be able to get the accountant to writing the queries themselves
trinque put a great deal of effort into that problem, only to conclude that one should learn to write the damn query directly
Pierre_Rochard: agreed, though I do lean on sqlalchemy a lot, I can write raw sql
Pierre_Rochard: I’d like to just go straight to pl/pgsql at some point
trinque: staying too cozy in python, you'll probably end up reinventing things the db can do better
trinque: consider for example the difference between using a python ORM and raw SQL for an aggregate over some column
trinque: most ORMs would load the whole damn row into an "object" whatever that is, load all the objects into a list, then iterate over that duplicated set of data and barf out the aggregate ☟︎

mircea_popescu is kinda curious whether anyone ever manages to reverse the magic i put into this thing
asciilifeform: reverse in the sense of building it again somewhere else ?

asciilifeform: sorta worked
nubbins`: nod
nubbins`: i pay $25usd for 17oz of ink
asciilifeform: but eventually learned 1) toner comes in various granularities 2) is a real bitch to clean up, on account of 3) goes straight through a vacuum cleaner
mircea_popescu: the toner granularities thing is a fine example of biology in business.
mircea_popescu: the granules themselves are more or less engineered to clog competing heads.
asciilifeform: heads?!
asciilifeform: 'toner' in laser printer is pulverized plastic
asciilifeform: it is picked up by a rubber roller and deposited on selenium drum electrostatically
nubbins`: ^
nubbins`: inkjets have heads
nubbins`: and you should print with your printer at least once a week to keep them from drying out
asciilifeform: now, if 'wrong' granule size, or melting point, life of printer owner does become 'interesting'
mircea_popescu: whatever you call them
mircea_popescu: how do you call the "part which does the printing" in a printer ?
asciilifeform does not like liquid printers
nubbins`: mircea_popescu depends on the type of printer. in an inkjet it's a printhead

nubbins` also runs two Brother laser printers: one b/w, one colour
asciilifeform: nubbins`: in the colour laser, the expensive proprietary crud is the 'transfer belt'
asciilifeform: for which no chinese version, afaik, exists
nubbins`: is that separate from the drum unit?
asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-06-2015#1157773 << hey, they did retrofit the price control mechanism (buterin's waterfall) from gold ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 12:59:40; mircea_popescu: amusing how transparent the usg efforts of turning bitcoin into gold are, by the way. "oh, we don't want to kill bitcoin, honest, we just want to make it so we're the only ones that can safely hold it. you know... like gold..."
mircea_popescu: except that only works on idiots.
mircea_popescu: the "you can't hold it" thing works on everyone. huge difference.
mircea_popescu: which is why the incensed bitching.
asciilifeform: the waterfall also works on everyone. but is expensive to maintain, yes
mircea_popescu: no baby, iot does NOPT work on everyone.
mircea_popescu: soros' breaking of the bank of england should be the only example you might ever need.
mircea_popescu: i LOVE!!11 the fact that they're giving me free money this way
mircea_popescu: and i don't care how much of it comes out of the skins of idiots.
mircea_popescu: actually, i hope most of it does, and i hope it comes out of their corneas and their daughter's labia.
asciilifeform: well, on one hand, mircea_popescu gets to pick up cheap coin. but on other, can't buy spare reactor for dirigible for 1 btc
mircea_popescu: there ~IS~ a reason they switched from trying that to trying gavincoin last year.
asciilifeform: in as far as i can surmise, the 'dept. of accumulating btc for the lizard throne' and 'dept. of breaking btc because wtf 111' co-exist
mircea_popescu: now wonder along with me : WHY is it that shithead gavin is SO VERY FIRMLY CONVINCED this must be done "before the end of the year" ? hm ?
mircea_popescu: who and where told them "we're getting wiped, at the most last out another three, maaaaybe six months" ?
asciilifeform: the thing which boggles my mind is, why not yet
mircea_popescu: because reasons.
asciilifeform: what, precisely, keeps the schmuck from twiddling the constant -now-
mircea_popescu: always reasons. the fact that nothing's instantaneous in the physical world is the chief reason there may even be life in the first place.
mircea_popescu: think about a world where interaction were undelayed.
asciilifeform: what, the filipinos have to grunt out precisely 1GB of forum commentz ?
asciilifeform: 'time is for keeping all things from happening at once' (tm) (r)
mircea_popescu: what is it that makes the speed of chemical reaction be the speed of chemical reaction ?
mircea_popescu: what, the electrons have to spin 1billion times ?
asciilifeform: l0l
asciilifeform: (all things have inertial mass, is the proximate cause)
mircea_popescu: not even.
mircea_popescu: inertial mass is, much like the "centrifugal force", a matter of observer observing
asciilifeform: btw i fully expect to see the classical bitcoin net under organized crap flood in near future.
mircea_popescu: as in... last week ?
mircea_popescu: doh.
asciilifeform: (with gavincoin pushes as 'elixir' naturally)
mircea_popescu: kinda why the scoring nodes are important
asciilifeform: why do you suppose i took precious time to run the orphans experiment
mircea_popescu: aha.
nubbins`: how many times have i heard "there are only 6000 nodes"
nubbins`: people are gonna be really surprised some day
mircea_popescu: and the thing that keeps schmuck is, the thing that keeps all schmucks. fear.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: do you recall my experiment where we estimated how many living nodes ?
nubbins`: the experiment but not the results
asciilifeform: results were depressing
nubbins`: <6k
nubbins`: ?
asciilifeform: <60
nubbins`: :o
nubbins`: how'd bitnodes find so many?
asciilifeform: by counting turdation crud as 'node' ?
mircea_popescu: this of course is in the logs
asciilifeform: it is on therealbitcoin ml
mircea_popescu: nubbins` bitnodes is in the business of finding what it wants to find.

mircea_popescu: and then you don't remember it going away.
nubbins` mumbles something about getting pogos running
mircea_popescu: why did it go away and why don't you remember it ?
mircea_popescu: human physiology, the stuff the memory hole effect's made of.
nubbins`: prolly a combination of poor memory and drug use
mircea_popescu: more like, the brain's not made for thinking anymore than bitnodes' is made to count nodes.
mircea_popescu: they're both made to make you feel good. ☟︎
asciilifeform: incidentally, i assume everyone remembers the usg-sponsored outfit publicly parading their net of sybils (based on 'pseudonode' or something entirely like it. student can write equivalent in an evening)
mircea_popescu: (the incidence of depression among idiots being for this reason the most amusing thing of all! seriously, YOU'RE depressed ? you don't even have enough of a fucking clue to be sad.)
nubbins`: did anyone ever muck about w/ a buildroot toolchain after?
nubbins`: or was i the only one barking up that tree
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-06-2015#1158085 << mega-l0l! i think mine was made to feel like shit ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 14:19:57; mircea_popescu: they're both made to make you feel good.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu fwiw smart people do depression way better than idiots.
asciilifeform: so i sorta assumed it was for that.
mircea_popescu: obviously.
mircea_popescu: they actually have a right to it.
mircea_popescu: rather than pretending depression under false pretenses much like "ununderstood" adolescents pretend to be gay.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: i have buildroot working to my satisfaction. esp. after davout fixed the bug in mke2fs
asciilifeform: nubbins`: but now we need a fully uclibc-ized bitcoind
nubbins`: that's where i was stuck.
davout: asciilifeform: mazeltov
nubbins`: got buildroot built to my satisfaction, stalled up on actuall compiling bitcoind dependencies
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, in all that story a release is required.
mircea_popescu: do we yet have something that people can put on pogo and run ?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: the next necessary step is the complete excision of dns from bitcoind
nubbins`: mircea_popescu i've had a statically built bitcoind for months now
nubbins`: i just can't re-create the build ;/
mircea_popescu: nubbins` exactly my point.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: once this is done, it will be theoretically possible to build uclibc-ized bitcoind
asciilifeform: and roll out buildroot+bitcoind buildatron
mircea_popescu: whichd be sweet.
nubbins`: actually, compiling boost w/ the buildroot toolchain is what had me stuck
asciilifeform: i have a months-old patch on the ml, which got lost among the nuts and bolts, that nukes dns seeds
mircea_popescu: pingin' ben_vulpes along with erryone else.
asciilifeform: but this leaves the idiot 'whatismyip' thing
asciilifeform: and a few other invocations
asciilifeform: these - need to go
nubbins`: i recall the discussion on that
nubbins`: i think we reached an impasse as to what was the proper way to find one's own ip and then other nodes
asciilifeform: nubbins`: there is a fallback in there - irc
nubbins`: right, yeah
nubbins`: imagine
asciilifeform: nubbins`: if we snip out the 'whatismyip' thing, that becomes the one and only turtle on which the elephants stand
mircea_popescu: nubbins` not exactly, config files.
nubbins`: fuck, right, yeah.
asciilifeform: and bitcoind will have to be given either a) own external ip, in config or b) ip of irc net to connect to
mircea_popescu: what sort of remembering is this!
nubbins`: text file sitting in the root dir
nubbins` gestures to the drugs
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that is the runner's problem.
mircea_popescu: and it is a correct solution.
mircea_popescu: the approach here is to breach enemy's reliability,
asciilifeform: this is probably when i confess that i have this sitting on my disk already
mircea_popescu: nothing more.
asciilifeform: needs to be cleaned up, tested, posted.
nubbins`: woo
asciilifeform: perhaps - this week's the time.
nubbins`: oh wow, i missed out on the eulora thing
asciilifeform actually considered buying a box on which eulora is playable
mircea_popescu: myeah
nubbins` does not "game"
mircea_popescu: why not ?
nubbins`: lack of interest
nubbins`: <--filthy casual
nubbins`: i'll kick your ass at mario kart 8 tho
mircea_popescu: i dun think you comprehend how much ass eulora kicks and will kick in the future.
asciilifeform bbl
mircea_popescu: but i'll tell you this much : im sick and tired of having to switch games.
mircea_popescu: so im going to make this one work and play it forever.
nubbins`: i've got a vague idea. why else would i take a 25btc stock warrant? ;p
mircea_popescu: lol

mircea_popescu: haha what was that ?

pete_dushenski: 3. no touchscreens allowed on the premises
mircea_popescu: not swearing won't get you to heaven pete_dushenski
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: realize that this is not unlike the 'everyone will learn to write' thing from back in the day
pete_dushenski: 4. sexual education is to be taught in praxis, not just theory
ben_vulpes: teachers'll have to order parents to do so, as the thing of necessity'll have to run over teh wotnet
mircea_popescu: now that's an idea.
pete_dushenski: i'm not done...
pete_dushenski: 5. students will learn to think, then learn the alphabet, then learn to read
ben_vulpes: i also suspect that the initial stable of teachers will actually be the parents. nobody else is going to give a shit and la serenissima runs on deficits anyways.
mircea_popescu: "students will learn to fly then grow the wings most adequate to their preferred flight style"
ascii_field: ^^^^
mircea_popescu: "which will forthwith change as a result"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes more importantly : why would you as a kid take a beating from someone you're not a in a sexual relationship with
pete_dushenski: 6. those not academically inclined will be pruned from academic studies at age 13 to pursue technical professions
mircea_popescu: romans had forbidden slaves (ie, teachers, more broadly, bureaucrats) beating their kids as a cornerstone of civility.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski what if they become inclined at 19 ?
jurov: how is this determined at 13?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: then self-teach ? go back to school ?
pete_dushenski: jurov: tests.
mircea_popescu: what if they go back to school with a chip on their shoulder
mircea_popescu: and set your entire world ablaze ?
ben_vulpes: not a bad outcome.
mircea_popescu: the focus of this process should not be satisfaction of the designer
mircea_popescu: but moreover avoidance of the situation where you piss off the rightly powerful. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: shit on the powerless, that's what they're there for.
pete_dushenski: jurov: why not ?

mircea_popescu: "i've visited all the places my friends sent me cards from"
pete_dushenski: tests can be interviews, written exams, theatre performances...
trinque: and the wrong ones shouldn't be in the school
mircea_popescu: the only half decent approximation of a test would be, "either you go to school where each day for a year contains a beating, or else we kill you in six years".
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: try to grasp that 'perform on schedule' selects for certain kinds of human, not necessarily the ones you like.

pete_dushenski: ascii_field: i'm perfectly aware. i wasn't the cram-exam type myself !
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: kids can opt this for themselves ? not too young ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: you're approximately describing 19th c. ru military academy. except there you get beatings + death in six years

ascii_field: (from forum)
mircea_popescu: we don't need a c++ cleanner ?
mircea_popescu: how long have i been asleep ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: cpp doesn't exist, to a first approximation, on a well-maintained unix box
ascii_field: bitcoind is the thorn in everybody's side in this respect
mircea_popescu: oh ok. so i didn't hallucinate valgrind igperf etcv
mircea_popescu: got worried for a minute there
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the 'cleaner' in question was a util that is meant to clean up the explosion of blood and guts which results in perl upgrading on a gentoo box
ascii_field: and the crud built with previous versions dying en masse
mircea_popescu: unlike the profilers.
ascii_field: not really related except in the sense that the hose in a mortician's workshop is related to surgeon's endoscope
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: btw i regard valgrind, igprof, etc. as 'c cleaners' rather than cpp. they only kinda, sorta work on cpp
mircea_popescu: because it never happened that if one "upgrades" suddenly c++ code stops working
ascii_field: cpp is really a 'crime against nature' to the extent that nothing really can process the barf it produces

ascii_field: ^ especially lulzy
ben_vulpes: cabal install cabal-install
mod6: heh, i built valgrind on deb6 lastnight as well. didn't work with bitcoind either statically built, or dynamically. might have to give this a try tonight on the gentoo aws instance.
ben_vulpes tried haskell once, irreperably borked the install, never touched it again. will never trust its advocates claims re: "bug free cuz static static really static awesome type system ftw"
ben_vulpes: but i suppose that i just don't understand how the (c, unix, haskell, programmering) world actually works
trinque: jurov: I've totally fucked up my python install several times on gentoo, having to re-emerge python-exec, wtf ever that is
trinque: gentoo has this crazy indirection between the various python versions (is I suspect the culprit, don't care enough to delve futher)

fluffypony: or whatever
trinque: yup that too
fluffypony: the 2> will pipe both STDOUT and STDERR
lobbes: aha
lobbes: interesting
fluffypony: I normally pipe STDERR to /dev/null because I don't need no steenking errors
fluffypony: and then get very frustrated when shit isn't working and I can't debug it
fluffypony: because logic
