gabriel_laddel_p: adlai: anyways, to that point, there is no deadline for any of this, but your updates should be ~weekly and you should be working on it 6hrs+ a day if you want your life to amount to anything.
gabriel_laddel_p: Godamnnit. I fucking _hate_ whiteboards and these stupid fucking "air fresheners" they stick all over the place.
phf: gabriel_laddel_p: have you tried resurrecting (?) beirc, seems like a proper tmsr machine needs an irc client
gabriel_laddel_p: What _exactly_ was so wrong with blackboards that they had to be done away with?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the mined by another is probably the operative concern.
gabriel_laddel_p can barely resist the urge to stick "google toxic encephalopathy" under each air freshener I find.
gabriel_laddel_p: for the record, does anyone know of an intelligent person who uses air fresheners/fabreez?
☟︎ phf: ah, k. i just keep seeing kiwiirc in your quit
gabriel_laddel_p: phf: anyways, I have suggested using a +v irc channel + CL-FTP + beirc as a "CLIM-web" so we can ditch the browser tomorrow
gabriel_laddel_p: Framedragger was supposed to put this together, but (surprise) has not.
☟︎ gabriel_laddel_p: adlai: ^ another thing you can do. The patch to fix CL-FTP is in the logs.
Framedragger: i was not supposed to do anything gabriel_laddel_p. stop with the passive aggressive tone already, it's annoying
phf: wait how does cl-ftp ties into ircing?
adlai: gabriel_laddel_p: please don't give me makework, it's more than enough to have received a rootset of (what's the word that means what 'people' actually mean when they say 'hopefully'?) useful material.
gabriel_laddel_p: phf: instead of having "web applications" we have a +v, invite only irc channel where our CL programs communicate. Well-formed messages are treated as FTP endpoints to download arbitrary information.
gabriel_laddel_p: ditch the whole stupidity of "caching" the web, local storage etc
adlai thinks gabriel_laddel_p would make an excellent phb

ben_vulpes: not necessarily that shitty of an attitude in this case Framedragger

adlai should probably provide an example instead of babbling, but: it's possible to produce distinct antecedents for the same patch
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski fortunately nobody gives a flying fuck what esl speakers say on any topic. this is very deeply difficult for the selfsame esltards to grok, but it DOES explain why trilema is more widely read than nytimes.
phf: the read part of the story is vapid, but the unread part is more interesting, and therefore will be completely missed by the target audience of that article: somewhere in the world, there's a corporation that can change its ~internal communications language~ because the ceo said so
mircea_popescu: no, this'd be different ; that was about adding references ~in the files~ as comments ; this is about the patches (ie, diffs)
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: patch says what antecedent file hashes it stemmed from, no?
adlai: patches state what state their antecedents must produce, but they don't commit to the antecedent itself
phf: adlai: i agree, it's a general graph, rather than a tree, has loops etc.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-16 13:42 mircea_popescu: incidentally, speaking of nothing in particular, everyone heard of carlos ghosn ? quite the fellow.
mircea_popescu: adlai yes, in that formulation it could be linked to the antecedent-in-file thread.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the reason it's a tree is ~because we say so~, not because in and of itself it ~is~. there's no way for a pile of code to be a tree outside of the will of the people writing code.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dude the whole discussion was what happens if archive ~goes away~. NOT what happes if archive is down.
mircea_popescu: look. i dunno what set of assumptions/convictions/determinations of fact you're operating under ehre, but to be plain, the situation as observed from my chair is as follows :
mircea_popescu: a) alf wrote a first version of phuctor, which wasn't very good. this is excusable in that it was a first version, and altogether irrelevant ; b) alf's version being not very good was accidentally exposed through ordinary course of business ; c) alf got very butthurt at this circumstance, and kept whining about it in the logs ; d) having had enough of the whine at some later point, i presented him with the choice of either fi
mircea_popescu: xing his code or going away ; e) so butthurt was alf over his code being no good in some particular and not terribly relevant way, he decided to go away. this caused phuctor to be offline for about a year. f) at some later point, getting a machine in the same datacenter if memory serves, alf declared that remnants from archive.is were found i dun recall how or where. this is entirely possible, and in any case i've not invest
mircea_popescu: now - wut of all of this ? maybe it was the same guy, i guess, maybe there was a conspiracy to reboot the server, i guess, maybe etcetera. i'm unconvinced nor do i see it matters any.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: a cheap explanation would be for instance - that archive people hosted in same place, and left for same reason.
mircea_popescu: well i dun think anyone's a friend, including the baker. i've not yet geiger-countered the flour.
mircea_popescu: o yeah, cuz i lifted the js for text selection from his site.
mircea_popescu: right. anyway, to dispell the possible implication - it's not that i like secretly know whoever runs archive.is
mircea_popescu: i have nfi, item seems to work is the entire extent of the thing ; and i don't specifically know him to be a hitler crony, like i do specifically know archive.org to be a hitler crony.
mircea_popescu: and i see no problem with any other or only other services be used - which iirc i even said when bot spec for archival was drawn, that everyone making one should ideally use a diff service
mircea_popescu: but for some reason nobody seems to have an alt preference. such as for instance because they don't exist or i have nfi

ben_vulpes: a question i have been wondering about for long is "why does the trb tree sit in a 'bitcoin' directory, wherever it's pressed", but it is not particularly irrelevant.
ben_vulpes: so duh, vdiff does not guarantee patches will be sensible in a v tree, and it is incumbent upon a patch-grinder to ensure their patches actually apply cleanly.

mircea_popescu: turns out that his thing is actually very useful when quoting towards the periphery.
Framedragger: fwiw i had the first click + second click => range thing but it confused you (and others) into accidentally selecting ranges unintentionally. third click may make sense..
mircea_popescu: Framedragger but do it like that you know, nude url + click -> highlights that line ; highlighted line url + click -> highlights between the two. like a state machine based on url schema
mircea_popescu: Framedragger no problem is you did it on the same page. add url-based state.
mircea_popescu: this is the fundamental idiocy of "responsive" "2.0" web, ajax etc : the fucking model is 1 page = 1 state. that's the only sane way to have state over stateless
http Framedragger: mircea_popescu: so you mean that if one were to click on a line which falls in a previously-selected range (of highlighted lines), the anchor would be adjusted but the overall highlight range would be preserved, too?
mircea_popescu: and i must be able to figure out the state by looking at the url, which is why POST is not better than GET but much, MUCH worse, and why it was pushed as part of "ssl", typical usg-tardism
☟︎ Framedragger: (because that'd make sense; anchor always remaining on the first line of range is not always intuitive)
mircea_popescu: and if they click outside the range, go back to state 1

mircea_popescu can;'t fucking believe we're stuck importing 1996 www and forking it ffs.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger yeah but typing-into-urlbar is distress signal.
Framedragger: well i had it turned on until it pissed you off, so now it's manual-only. but you're right re. third-click adjusting anchor, maybe that's what's missing. would indeed be useful to see this in btcbase logs
Framedragger: (argument against this is that it does import a bit of complexity, of course)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger may be my weird set-up, but in my memory your page never worked as described here ?
mircea_popescu: oooohhh i know wtf it was! see, what it was was this : you DID have it this way, but then i'd highlight one line or follow someone else's highlight, and i'd RIGHT CLICK another line, and this'd result in a range.
mircea_popescu: whereas my intention was to result in a new single line highlight. yes yes i see.
Framedragger: only way to unset range was to click on line above range
mircea_popescu: dude, so clicking and copying a link are semantically separate in my head but obviously the same thing to browser.
mircea_popescu: am i the only one incidentally, who sees this separation ?
mircea_popescu: in an attempt to fix/improve republican infrastructure, mircea_popescu discovered his head is broken.
Framedragger: eh well, an 'unset range' button (or range manipulation buttons) would help. (but then, those'd work over POST, so hidden state..)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger how about adding a · in between timestamp and speaker, so that timestamp is still lined as now, but the dot is linked to make range ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ( Framedragger and if you work on it, moving away from the "<name> " to the bolded-name-colon convention would also be very nice.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform most "under radar" missions are "if you stall, you also die"
mircea_popescu: Framedragger the dot would create range, if a line is already highlighted.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well it's a big thing, because if you're off radar you can be targetted by individual experts carrying 3 to 8 shots each ; and if you're on the radar you can be targetted by technicians carrying 64 to 256 shots each.
Framedragger: (before, i had this idea of user being able to alter ranges very simply; but obviously there was the whole confusion of "i want to alter anchor" vs. "i want to alter range" function when clicking on timestamp, which sucked.)
mircea_popescu: and "10m over ocean" is you know... ONE WAVE getting close enough to spray in your intake and it's bye bye

mircea_popescu: anyway, for the noobs : to specific objections are raised here. one speaks to corectness : a random "reality tv" show may include elements which, inasmuch as they factually exist, are actually true, such as a curb, or a window pane. nevertheless, this does not make the reality tv show MEANINGFUL.
mircea_popescu: the other speaks to accuracy. there is a reason man pages are written by the authors of the software, not by a conclave of self-identified users of said software. a measure of accuracy could certainly be devised whereby the 2nd version is "just as accurate" as a proper man page. nevertheless, it would not in the slightest be INTERESTING.
mircea_popescu: which is the summa : wikipedia is meaningless and uninteresting ; that it does so through the mechanism of advertising "not using advertising" and asking for "donations", and that it manages to chump randos into turning large piles of banal trivia into an agglomeration of garbage is entirely incidental.
