mircea_popescu: diana_coman yes, well, sanity comes a pound per tenton among bipedals.
mircea_popescu: in other holy shit diversity : there is a FIG melon in this country. it has... spikes.
diana_coman: ave1, I tried compiling eucrypt & components using your runtime: need support for Interfaces.C (used by keccak/oaep) and Ada.Unchecked_Conversion (used by Serpent)
diana_coman: fwiw the footprint of eucrypt with default runtime is 215K (separate components: mpi 109K; bit_keccak 17K; keccak 42K; rsa 19K; serpent 20K - 31K (depending on level of optimisation chosen)
diana_coman: I'm using gprbuild 2016 with gcc 4.9.4, both from adacore

ave1: diana_coman, I have a version that has both files, but not published yet. It is not hard to make, copy from the runtime dir the files: i-c.ads, i-c.adb (for Interfaces.C) and a-unccon.ads. Then edit i-c.ads and i-c.adb
ave1: The function versions of To_Ada and To_C need to be removed + exceptions raised
ave1: Then, smg_serpent self_test procedure needs to be function and raised removed
ave1: Well, maybe not so easy, I will publish patch (but probably next week)
ave1: After that, as it turns out, ada still produces some code which is not supported by the zfp lib. I fixed some of this, but this is very much a build - add some code - retry cycle and that will take some time.
ave1: For example the zfp lib is not really written (at this moment) for a C main program, so 'adafinal' is missing.
diana_coman: ave1, take your time on it; just publish when it's ready and I'll give it another go
diana_coman: I am not using To_Ada or To_C so they can be removed, not an issue
diana_coman: as to the serpent_self_test procedure - it can in principle even go away entirely as there is an equivalent test in the tests dir where tests should be anyway; the self_test is left mainly because it was in the original, but not crucial in any case
trinque: diana_coman: you ask. happy to add it. sec
mircea_popescu: i didn't know non-romanian speakers even knew the word "octet"
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : the people who debuted in porn this year are... 70% male.
mircea_popescu: i expect porn is very much going the way of fashion, or academia : first, faggots get a hold of it, then... nobody would touch it with a ten foot pole.

mircea_popescu: as opposed to word (how much is needed to compose a complete address) and so on.
BingoBoingo: When dem hollywood boys do it "Exploitation!" when pantsuit does it "wage theft"
BingoBoingo: Why no outrage for the poor suffering Sergeant who had to convincingly pretend enthusiasm when banging it out with a bag old enough that she had a mid-20's adult son die from terminal reddit/opiods last year.
BingoBoingo: Pretty sure that's actually in the stankred pantsuit texts: Power differential sex abuse.

mircea_popescu: and for the crit lit / media experts, here's a conundrum : cool it carol, easily the best movie made in the 70s and one of the best movies ever, came out 1970. in 1971, "plaza suite" featuring matthau and various women has a segment dedicated to this anti-carol (mimsy), a dumb murican priss who locks herself in bathroom on her wedding day. the clou of the entire production is made into some schmuck (almost as ugly as rob askw
mircea_popescu: ith, and certainy with the same bad hair) knocking on her door and saying "mimsy ? cool it!" so matthau can lay into them with "he went to college for four years and all he's got is cool it ?!".

nonlinear: Oh, Hi mircea_popescu just stumbled in here, and reading trilema.com to get a sense
mircea_popescu: though sense is usually an emergent property of half a year to a year's exploration
nonlinear: Yes, that seems about right from what I have seen so far. Exploration is a good term, and enjoyable.
nonlinear: Oh, I hope an opensource flow for Xilinx is achieved.

mircea_popescu tried to read above-linked rundown of gnu failure at social media ; erection died about midway through. really, kids too clueless to comprehend how clueless they are writing "the history" of how spurious irc re-implementation went nowhere ?
mod6: fuck all social media, i want gossip
mircea_popescu: eh, i just want performance. they've got this thing now, where they're so desperate for cheap footage, they'll actually dress up athletes like they were people, seat them down in studios and make them talk.
mircea_popescu: srsly nobody cares what random trained monkey has to say.
BingoBoingo: They have even went futher and started dressing up the broken monkeys in suits and moved them from shows about the sports they used to play to hosting the old people and NEET morning shows
mircea_popescu ended up laughing ass off at trinque refuelling station once more.
