phf: i'd like to read knuth chapters for a bit, but aocp warez is surprisingly awful. torrents of pdf scans without table of contents (!!!) and people in comments going "thanks for most useful books evaa!!!". does anybody actually tried using this shit?

phf: ben_vulpes: so the way thing works right now, is that when you connect a new instance of scheme runtime is created, which is then fed init.scm and connected to the network stream fd. right now the pattern that we have is from inside a running instance you can call out into trb and make it do things

Adaptation also tested cryptographic USB-tokens Rutoken S and Rutoken electronic signature for secure two-factor authentication in computer systems and storage of key information."
BingoBoingo: Apparently shipping Q2 2016
phf: ben_vulpes: in order to support any sort of rewrite of existing code, need to figure out how to have scheme runtime created at bitcoind start and that runtime allowing for reentry
phf: which requires a better understanding of how ts's stack work, or perhaps figuring out how to make multiple scheme instances share same oblist or something
phf: i think ascii short term plan is specifically rewrite of rpc, because it's an easily achievable low hanging fruit, which when done completely will let us get rid of json/http
ben_vulpes: > allowing for reentry << bleeee
ben_vulpes: okay i'll leave that and the slime work to the real artisans
phf: also the whole thing is not thread safe...
phf: but then i also tend to overthink things, for all i know there's a perfectly trivial solution to all things

mircea_popescu: ben and jerry's is ultrapremium icecream ?
asciilifeform: nfi.
asciilifeform doesn't buy frozen concentrates, does not distinguish the grades
mircea_popescu: i don't see how this sawed off grenade made for the purpose of convincing kids not to make or use grenades you linked has anything at all to do with the bomb above, tbh.
mircea_popescu: maybe in a very generous reading ?
mircea_popescu: but... he speaks of minorities. minorities are not women. what's the logic ?
asciilifeform: i'm not convinced that this is the correct link.
mircea_popescu: now im stuck reading another mile long pile of yarvinesque nonsense ? ;/
asciilifeform: in fact, a good chunk of what i remember as 'moldbuggery' appears to be a synthesis that exists nowhere outside of my own head (and occasionally the logz)
mircea_popescu: haha
asciilifeform: but at any rate, he is speaking of something palpably real and known to virtually all usaschwitz inmates.
asciilifeform: 'there is to be a Party member in every lift.'
mircea_popescu: but this is not a matter of parties per se. it is not a matter of conviction, it is a matter of biology.
asciilifeform: 'there is not to be a physical space where you feel safe speaking' is the ultimate objective of all sov-style systems.
mircea_popescu: funny, let's ask allah
mircea_popescu: Ù… أَلَمْ تَرَ Ø£ÙŽÙ†ÙŽÙ‘ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مَا يَكُونُ مِن نَّجْوَى ثَلاÙ
mircea_popescu: ‹Ø«ÙŽØ©Ù إلاَّ هُوَ رَابِعُهُمْ وَلاَ خَمْسَةٍ إِلاَّ هُوَ سَادِسُهُمْ وَلاَ أَدْنَى مِن ذَلِكَ وَلاَ أَكْثَرَ إِÙ
mircea_popescu: „اَّ هُÙ
mircea_popescu: o.O
asciilifeform: my poor console
mircea_popescu: look at that, allah is not welcome in the logs!
asciilifeform: hey it worked when i did it
mircea_popescu: “Do you not see that Allah knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth? Nowhere is there a secret counsel between three persons but He is the fourth of them, nor (between) five but He is the sixth of them, nor less than that nor more but He is with them where ever they are; then He will inform them of what they did on the day of resurrection: surely Allah is Aware of all things.”
asciilifeform: allah likes utf-8.
mircea_popescu: there. another socialism.
mircea_popescu: which goes right back to a much older thread re arabs and women and how it all works.
asciilifeform: and yes, totalitarian state consists of implementing in the flesh, precisely this.
mircea_popescu: islam is not specifically oppressive of women. it is merely opressive of INDIVIDUAL women enough so that the men may be persuaded to swallow socialism.
asciilifeform: 'subscribe and we'll help you hold her still for a spell' ?
mircea_popescu: that enough bar is necessarily higher in eastern societies, that aren't quite as fucktarded as anglotwerps, and so here we go.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform allow me to quote from the prophet moar!
mircea_popescu: "172 – Rule: Men are allowed to speak to non-Mahram women as long as the following two conditions are met: It is not with the intention of lust. "
mircea_popescu: so... not even! subscribe and we'll give you one free cow!
asciilifeform: 'while supplies last!'
mircea_popescu: quite.
mircea_popescu: but in any case - do not talk to the ones that don't have the official allakhu-snackbar brand,
mircea_popescu: lest you hear evil things of sin and decide to throw all this crap in the septic tank where it belongs.
asciilifeform: sop.
mircea_popescu: (unrelatedly - i've re-read the arabic old texts. the previous time i did this they ended up in the fire. somehow, the shit's grown EVEN MORE offensive over the years. scarcely can explain this wonder - the people involved have been dead for a thousand years.)
asciilifeform: this works as well on ancient texts as on microshit
mircea_popescu: not on all.
mircea_popescu: augustus is as readable as ever.
asciilifeform: naturally not on all. only the psychiatrically-inspired ones.
mircea_popescu: or fine - should you protest virtue is cheap for the purpled - shakespeare, idem. and that man had absolutely no virtue.
phf: ben_vulpes: get-difficulty is a straight rip of the c from bitcoinrpc.cpp << correct way to do that one is to write get-index-best that returns block-index structure that you can get bits value from, and then have get-difficulty do all the equivalent calculations in scheme, bitshifting and all
asciilifeform: phf has it.
mircea_popescu: sounds pretty good.
phf: we don't have a way to serialize/deserialize yet, so the point is moot, but probably not for long ☟︎
asciilifeform: the tricky bit is that for a while you end up with 2 routines that do (nominally) same thing
asciilifeform: but are uncoupled.
asciilifeform: hell on wheels.
phf: well, luckily get-difficulty is only used in rpc, so can be nuked upon rewrite ☟︎
phf: but yeah, much duplicate
phf: re standartization, issue i'm personally running into is that we can drag tinyscheme in the direction of common lisp or stick to scheme conventions. both have downsides
mircea_popescu: phf and do you take the further step and say "since all ambiguity is definitionally bad design, we prolly need to cut this knot at a higher level" ?
asciilifeform: phf: i'd go for whichever ~weighs less~ (and not in the idiot scheme community metric of 'the language weighs less') but THE AGGREGATE
asciilifeform: 'DoJ is required to cloak NSA-CIA capabilities by pretending full sharing does not take place. Redacted and excluded filings and decisions by DoJ, district, appeal, SCOTUS and FISA courts along with open and classified executive orders by and POTUS, and best of all, classified contracts, implements this. ...

mircea_popescu: The California Supreme Court took up its first diversity case in almost seven years today, agreeing to decide the legality of San Francisco's program that grants preferences for aryan contractors. The court granted a hearing on appeals by two companies that say the city ordinance violates Proposition 209, the 1996 initiative that outlawed aryan preferences in public contracting, employment and education

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Aha
mircea_popescu: phf ithought we were disucssing the cl vs scheme thing ?
mircea_popescu: "Under the Republic an almost unlimited frankness in public utterances was tolerated and a considerable confusion of the mind, unfeigned and unabashed, was bared to everyone's inspection. Under the Dictatorship only one idea of political and philosophical relevance could be safely expressed. As a result, public utterances became uniform and, in the same proportion, insincere." heh. said of every republic ever.
BingoBoingo: "minority groups" likely transforms on its context to "political patrons" "loyal mobs" and "select demographics"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the power of this scheme, such as it is, is reductionism. specifically : map a large number of idiocies on the same (historical) term for similar idiocies. it is a dangerous gamble.
mircea_popescu: and of course never is the gamble discussed, or the mechanism for that matter.
