asciilifeform wants to unsee

asciilifeform: for fucks sake

asciilifeform: at least mircea_popescu posts pics of ~perfectly healthy~ uninteresting organs

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-12-2015#1335270 << poor ol' no-dicks getting bulldozered by the cheap petro (itself a usg-saudi project, last-ditch hitler's bunker bid to sink ru economy) ☝︎

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: how does cheapening help saud ?

asciilifeform: if anything, it prolongs life of usg at the expense of pretty much everybody else

asciilifeform: ah

asciilifeform: what'd be wrong with a chinese revenue base

asciilifeform: ?

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: alternate market

asciilifeform: (substitute for a dead usa)

asciilifeform: was answer to http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-12-2015#1335290 ☝︎

asciilifeform: from my admittedly-limited but not entirely nonexistent meatwot intelligence - saud is not actually sovereign: all of the princelings speak english, a good chunk live in and never leave usa, park their moneys in nato.

asciilifeform: muppet state.

asciilifeform: mno.

asciilifeform: the time to sacrifice'em is ~before~ they inherit the various thrones and sub-thrones though.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it is strictly, strictly for nailing ru.

asciilifeform: eh, just when i thought jurov had it licked

asciilifeform: the tx deallocation thing

asciilifeform: hm.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu winz again it seems.

asciilifeform: uh

asciilifeform now remembers this also.

asciilifeform: once you subtract the eco-lysenkoist claptrap (e.g., 'renewable') - what's left is, what, fischer-tropsch? the fission machines that the west has forgotten how to build or maintain ?

asciilifeform: so where is 'risk of not being used' in petro ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu should enjoy the low background of the southern hem. while it lasts then...

asciilifeform has always wondered why, precisely, this never happens

asciilifeform: it blew me away when i learned that usa, home of the original mega-railroads, was today a rail-backwater like africa

asciilifeform: hell, iirc india today has more active track than usa.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nato put some sweat into electro-catalytic synthesis of jet fuel, etc. but usa lives and dies by the 'plebes in cars' thing. and if there's been any serious push against this, it is a very well-kept secret

asciilifeform: public transport here, esp. outside of the handful of mega-conurbations, is a joke.

asciilifeform: 'PSS is harder to implement because it uses randomness -- randomness is hard on many embedded systems like smart cards. The most proclaimed advantage of PSS is that it has a "security proof" with, apparently, a rather tight reduction (see this page for some references). Security proofs are not an easy subject; the proof for OAEP (the encryption padding which is like the "sister protocol" to PSS) was found out to be wrong by Sh

asciilifeform: oup and then repaired again by Fujisaki, Okamoto, Pointcheval and Stern....'

asciilifeform: forfuxxsake

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: if you're a complete n00b you might want to try one of andrew appel's schoolbooks

asciilifeform: andrew w. appel, 'modern compiler implementation in X' where X is one of 3 or 4 different langs (different editions)

asciilifeform: it also helps if you have something like an actual reason for doing any of this.

asciilifeform: skilled in what

asciilifeform: writing compiler ?

asciilifeform: it's an ok book

asciilifeform: best place to learn is still... by reading an actual compiler from 1980s or prior

asciilifeform: (and writing own, similar.)

asciilifeform: also arguably 'compiler' is two entirely separate disciplines,

asciilifeform: front-endiana (parser, lexer, ast, et al) and back-endiana (code gen, peepholer, various optimizers)

asciilifeform: they don't really have much to do with one another.

asciilifeform: but tend to get equally shoddy treatment in school on account of being jammed into same course in one semester.

asciilifeform: to see something like a quasi-readable and quasi-modern compiler, see f. bellard's 'tinycc' ( http://bellard.org/tcc/tcc-doc.html )

asciilifeform: ugh

asciilifeform: aaah yeaaaah sure, sslizing my rsa key makes me ah so hot&bothered

asciilifeform: mno.

asciilifeform: 'browser' is but one single pustule on a half-dead bubonic and leprous horror

asciilifeform is still waiting for browser-in-js-in-browser ☟︎

asciilifeform: though there is a js x86 box emulator, yes

asciilifeform: so there is hope.

asciilifeform: lulzy.

asciilifeform: 'Waiting for empty slot... At most 1756 user(s) ahead of you'

asciilifeform: eh.

asciilifeform: http://bellard.org/jslinux << mega-classic

asciilifeform: ^ x86

asciilifeform: boots linux.

asciilifeform: (~why~ to do this, is an entirely other question, which i am unable to even begin to apprehend)

asciilifeform: afaik it was a 'we do what we must, because we can' sorta thing

asciilifeform: other than as a demo of 'turing completeness' for schoolchildren, i can think of no actual use for this

asciilifeform: punkman: lulzy. somebody oughta make one for 'DERIVE'

asciilifeform: i can think of few better gifts -

asciilifeform: unless you're of the mircea_popescu or orlov school of thought, in which case better gifts include horse and kalash ☟︎

asciilifeform: (or pirate ship, etc)

asciilifeform: hammer << why not dynamite then.

asciilifeform: aah l0l apparently this is a 'bumping' demo.

asciilifeform: bumping is ancient history.

asciilifeform: (essentially random walk brute force attack for shitty pin tumbler locks)

asciilifeform: a vibrating dildo, or electro-toothbrush, with needle taped on, works for this trick

asciilifeform owns ~this~ hammer, l0l

asciilifeform: at any rate padlocks are really a ceremonial item

asciilifeform: meant to signal that something was not merely left to be picked up and taken home by whoever

asciilifeform has gone from the 'omfg how do i pay teh billz' to 'omfg which of these outfits should i sign with' in past week or so

asciilifeform: eh there are worse things than web dev

asciilifeform: idk, fellating syphilitic cocks flattened between mircea_popescu's plexiglass plank press plates, for a penny/hour ?

asciilifeform: filleting kittenz for obamitler's table ?

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: some of those. also a shop where maths are done.

asciilifeform: will prolly go with the latter, it has a '17-y.o-accessibility-factor' of close to 0 and thereby appealing

asciilifeform would've guessed begging

asciilifeform: dirty how, they went into somebody's arse ?

asciilifeform: ask mircea_popescu about 'tracking taint' some time, for bonus l0l
