phf: asciilifeform: i think the divergent points were a lot more elaborate than this particular reduction
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bins in mp-wp tree, hanbot expertly ascii-ized.
mircea_popescu: you mean the client ? no-one's even bothered to genesis thart yet ; being replaced i expect.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there was NO discussion of "bion diffing". nor will there be. there was specified support ~for deletion of files~, which is WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT
mircea_popescu: stop fucking squigee-ing around for maximum damage. what you're damaging is your own fucking house.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-06 17:12 asciilifeform: tangentially on-thread, it still bothers asciilifeform that he was unable to represent the diff b/w mircea_popescu's bitcoin-0.5.3.tar.gz and the genesis as a vpatch ( neither orig v nor current is able to represent the deletion of binariolade... )
mircea_popescu: right. phf was supposed to have ~support for deletion/movement/fullspecified filename~ baked in.
mircea_popescu: i can't currently conceive how the fuck he even MADE a vtools without it, because it was a root node and nothing works without it anyway (eg, i expect all the hashes he calculates are wrong)
mircea_popescu: but i am not currently in a position to take a day off and review poorly executed jobs in detail.
mircea_popescu: phf when you calculate the file hash, do you take ~the full name~ plus "the content or just "the content" ?
phf: mircea_popescu: the later, but i don't think that was the last iteration of your algorithm
phf: i'm trying to find the relevant thread right now
mircea_popescu: well now i'm reading through all dis, what can do. phf's four months at work resulted in same many months of rot, now we don't recall the spec, log is long, life is short, so on an' so forth.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-02 23:57 mircea_popescu: at which juncture i suppose it'd pay to check, huh. hey phf, my memory of logs discussion includes this item whereby the above problem was fully resolved by declaring the path as inseparable part of the filename. you on the same page ?
phf: and later i say we're on the same page, and i have no idea why and how
mircea_popescu: and ~i~ should have written a blog article about it ? wtf would i put in it ?
a111: Logged on 2018-04-03 00:02 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the logged discussion on the topic was, "if hashes match but paths do not, the file was moved ; if hashes match and paths match, the file is untouched ; if hashes do not match but paths match the file was modified ; if hashes do not match and paths do not match the file was created/deleted"
mircea_popescu: this is correct ; my above "hash the filename" was incorrect, or rather, inexact.
phf: yes, i remember the algo, and algo requires that the hash is just of content. i thought i was entirely insane, because immediately after "hash the name + content" i say "we're on the same page"
mircea_popescu: as i say, my latter statement of the notion was misleading & vague.
mircea_popescu: kinda what the problem is with these "brought back from the swamps of memory" items, the result takes some washing.
phf: mircea_popescu: the next line after the one you quoted is "all files are identified by hashesof their name and content"
phf: asciilifeform: right, all the contemplated extensions were supposed to be backwards compatible. the ancient format allows for a lot of necessary leeway
mircea_popescu: i recall the succesion of steps of 1. being very happy with solution that was all smiles and no bruises ; 2. being satisfied that the people involved understood 1 ; 3. unloaded it from head. now in the nightmare consequent of "4. wait, what was it ?"
phf: mircea_popescu: delivered item does not match 3rd of april algo. the algo was invented after delivered item was fully implemented with the idea that the algorithm can be added to the item transparently. but it was also around the time that i could no longer work on the item, so it remained unchanged since then
phf: mircea_popescu: well, short of cutting my head off, or handing it over, i can add the missing bits
a111: Logged on 2018-10-06 23:58 phf: i have couple of hours tomorrow, so i'll pick up the deletions and renames code either way, and either release it, or give an estimate for how long it will take me to bake it

a111: Logged on 2018-10-06 23:55 phf: there are three distinct options: deletions and renames (which is handled by mp algo), creations (that can be handled by e.g. <size><content in hex>) and diffing (which is top complexity, needing e.g. needleman-wunsch)

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-07#1859170 << that part of the discussion was about binary (the algo doesn't discriminate text or binary, but there's no support for binary creation in format), it was a panicked detour, that has been since resolved with "there's no binary in vpatch"

hanbot: !Qauction 76M 72 500usd via WU
lobbesbot: AUCTION # 367 STARTED by hanbot: 500usd via WU Opening: 76M coppers Ending: 2018-10-10 04:01:52 UTC (72 hours)
BingoBoingo: And fat forehead party has come up with their response to #vivirsinmiedo... it is #UruguaySinViolenciaEnGenero
mod6: mircea_popescu: That seems at least like a decent place to start; some sort of greeting and gathering of contact information.
mod6: If the idea is for nicoleci to go further and answer questions from persons herself, yeah, we probably aught to have a list of pre-canned responses.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in lulz, "A Banksy was left in shreds before an shocked audience moments after it was auctioned off at Sotheby’s in London for a record $1.4 million. The British artist, whose identity is still unknown, timed his painting, Girl With Balloon, to self-destruct via a shredder hidden in the artwork’s frame."
BingoBoingo: But what bigger Lulz is he distracting from? Trump got his judge, Bolnasaro is going to the beach tomorrow before beginning his run off campaign, and is Mosul still there or is it another six weeks?
mod6: mircea_popescu: Cool, thanks. Was thinking that maybe nicoleci would start with a simple small set of pre-canned responses, and also collect contact information. And during the call, any questions not covered by set of canned responses, can be written down and handed back to the forum or Co-chairs for answsering.
☟︎ mod6: Probably via email if that seems alright.
mod6: In a timely fashion of course, figure what, 48 hours? 72?
mod6: Also, unrelated to that... S.MG's UY3 invoice is still open (for september). Just a heads up - obviously no big worry or anything. Just saw that the S.MG statement is out there, didn't want ya to overlook that.
mod6: BingoBoingo: Please to bid 76M for hanbot's auction -- between this one and trinque's, we're already half-way there to next month. Not bad!
☟︎ mod6: I'll send you the coins here in just a bit.

mod6: Alright BingoBoingo that's more than enough, but leaves you some wiggle room to make some counter-bids, should they be required.
BingoBoingo: ty, will also keep my eyes open for other new auctions that pop up
mod6: Any left over, can be simply retained by you, and accounted for next cycle, or you can send me back the remainder, if that's how you'd like to handle it.
mod6: Ok, if any others pop up, that I don't (for whatever reason) see, just holler. Will get ya the coins.
mod6: Thank you, mircea_popescu
mod6: Beyond this, a list of answers to some obvious first questions can be added. Other questions not covered can be written down and sent to us for answering, emailing resposnes.
mircea_popescu: just in case anyone else's making audio cd's for the car, for i in *.mp3; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -f wav "${i%}.wav"; done
mircea_popescu: piece of shit does not know what ffmpeg -i *.x *.y could POSSIBLY mean
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: resitution is powerful, but the mitigating factor was... kleptomania
BingoBoingo: A clinical disposition to continue stealing
BingoBoingo: I mean 25 to 35 percent unemployment and the Banco Central is stuck with a klepto because "public employee"
mircea_popescu: in other news i fucking hate the manner in which windows tards create directories.
mircea_popescu: 60% spaces paranthesis quotes and other reserved signs by mass.
mircea_popescu: these people never fucking used a computer, have none of the habits of computer use, no implicit semantics, nada.
BingoBoingo: Kinda what the pnoje movement is coraling them into. Directory structure free containment
mircea_popescu: dude not a single one of those schmucks looks like they could stand their ground.
BingoBoingo: At this point whether someone looks like they can throw arespectable punch is a pretty good heruistic for sorting white trump voters from terminal pantsuits cucks
mircea_popescu: the very feminine attitude, too, "here's my cunt, come find me". what the fuck ?! nobody's going anywhere looking for dorky boys.
BingoBoingo: Well, Frank the ditch might accidentally into some
BingoBoingo: In still other news, Conner McDayofFailure lost a match in a his rules fight league. His opponent went on to apparently jump the cage and beat McDayofFail's corner while the victor's corner hopped in the cage and beat up on McDayofFail some more

phf: it was left behind on the x60, and picking up x60 again reminds me just how nice of machine it is
phf: right, i basically treat the battery as a ups, i.e. hold it long enough for me to move it from place to place
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I might have seen it at the feria recently on a table that also had a Macbook Air...
phf: i've traveled with it before, but yeah, i'd turn it off, plug it in somewhere, turn it on. c101pa on the other hand has an insane battery life: i've been running it in pure console mode, and it will last a day or two
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Likely how it made it to the feria. Feria is powered by dumpster finds and sticky fingers
phf: what's kind of silly and i think mp made that point a while ago, that none of the manufacturers of that vintage attempted to do a swapable battery. a dual battery slot, or a smaller internal battery that would keep the thing powered for ~60 seconds it takes to switch the battery
