mircea_popescu: "Marti McCuller, a legally blind Web site developer, was frustrated by her difficulty in navigating through search engines. �My text‑to‑speech software let me read the various search sites,� she said, �but they often put so many links on a page it became hard to use.�
mircea_popescu: That is because the blind, even with text‑reading software, cannot glance at a page. There is no way for them to get a quick visual overview of a site�s contents and make mental notes about where it would be worthwhile clicking and exploring later. Rather, the blind must laboriously click from line to line, determining by a process of elimination where they want to go.
mircea_popescu: As a solution, Ms. McCuller created her own search engine, an amalgam of other search sites that does not force the user to move slowly around the site and wade through advertisements to find the right place to enter a query. Search words are entered at the top of the page, and appropriate links are displayed above all other material as well. Users do not need to tab through extraneous material."
guruvan: heh I definitely remember altavista

mircea_popescu: she kept a blog years ago but didn't write much in it. she did write asylum with me, so there's that.
mircea_popescu: not aware that there'd by any memoirs. she was kinda young for that sort of thing.

mod6: Attention TRB Testers: If you want to help test, please take the time to build trb via trinque's makefiles here;
http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2016-January/000190.html (Should be basically getting & verifing the tar ball; plus setting up a ~/.wot dir with keys for V to use) -- then a `make` in the directory. Please report your findings. Thanks.
☟︎☟︎ shinohai: I'm gonna give those a go today on the server, it's idle since I got latest patched.
jurov: oh when i see it: trinque and everyone, pls send detached signatures as <name>.sig
jurov: ml currently passes all attachments regardless when there is valid clearsigned text but it may not always the case
mod6: <+jurov> oh when i see it: trinque and everyone, pls send detached signatures as <name>.sig << for V to work properly the sigfiles (seals) need to be named the same as the vpatch filename with a .sig on the end. is that what you're saying?
jurov: not it is not related to v
jurov: it is how ml prosesses attachments
mod6: i.e.: asciilifeform-kills-integer-retardation.vpatch && asciilifeform-kills-integer-retardation.vpatch.asciilifeform.sig
mod6: that's how they need to be
jurov: why the second .asciilifeform ?
jurov: one is .anything , the other one .anything.sig
mod6: so i was wrong above, not just .sig, but <vpatch_name>.vpatch.<wot_id>.sig
jurov: or V requires author's name in the suffix?
jurov: oh my, who designed this?
mod6: that's how they need to be.
mod6: which, i think is fine because then i can sign that patch and call it: asciilifeform-kills-integer-retardation.vpatch.mod6.sig
mod6: and then v can differentiate them easily
mod6: !up ascii_butugychag
jurov: so imma have a regex like ([^_]+)_.*?\.vpatch\.(.*?)\.sig to find out something to feed to v?
ascii_butugychag: jurov, mod6: i designed the naming convention this way deliberately
jurov: but it requires PARSING
ascii_butugychag: these, ideally, will NOT always be the same, i keep trying to encourage folks to read and sign MY patches (and that of others)
ascii_butugychag: jurov: theoretically you can avoid using the name prior to .sig, but then you have to check ALL seals agains ALL patches ALWAYS and this is O(N^2)
☟︎ jurov: is it too late to use some better delimiter to extract the parts?
jurov: authorname:patchname:signername.vpatch.sig
jurov: then use dot after authorname, too
jurov: it is relevant for ml
jurov: also, what if someone has a nick with _ ?
jurov: like mircea_popescu
jurov: yes? how do i extract author and patchname?
ascii_butugychag: recall how mircea_popescu argued that it makes no sense to mechanically distinguish between author and signers?
jurov: you say noone will ever need to?
ascii_butugychag: the correct way to do this is for the first seal to be deedbotted to produce the attribution of the author.
mircea_popescu: if i want to represent alf's signature as "asciilifeform", "ascii_butugychag" or more or just a subset, it should be up to me.
jurov: and how does ml match signarute to vpatch?
jurov: someonse sends 3 patches with 3 sigs, I either have to get the match with gnarly regext above
ascii_butugychag: and realize that we can set all the filenames to 'fuckyou' and v will still work
jurov: or try to match each vs. each
jurov: why v can't require strict naming?
ascii_butugychag: why tie to filesystem oddities that may go away when we get a sane os ?
jurov: to not need O(N^2) sig verificaiton
jurov: how will sane os solve this?
ascii_butugychag: jurov: it doesn't need even now. what is your problem with patchname.signer.sig ?
ascii_butugychag: i could even see the argument that 'signer' oughta be a gpg fp
jurov: because i need to match it to patchname.vpatch
jurov: no it maps to patchname.vpatch.<unknown>.sig
ascii_butugychag: patchname in 'patchname.vpatch' must equal patchname in patchname.signer.sig
jurov: v works because it has prearranged files, wot keys
ascii_butugychag: and now jurov has something that does not ? so fix ~it~ plox ?
jurov: i just have some random bunch of name.vpatvh and somethingother.sig someone sends by email
ascii_butugychag: if you want the filenames to be garbage, you will have O(N^2) evaluation.
jurov: i want filename.vpatch that i can just take and slap .sig in the end of it to find a signature
jurov: but this is Not Possible, now I have to parse the patchname out, and use that to look for sigs
ascii_butugychag: i wrote v the way i did so that ALL patches and ALL seals can coexist on my disk and it be HUMAN-obvious which belong to whom and what.
jurov: ok, why can't the .vpatch and author fields swap?
ascii_butugychag: let's start with 'asciilifeform_tx-orphanage_amputation.vpatch.mod6.sig'
jurov: bitcoin-asciilifeform.1.mod6.vpatch.sig
jurov: also, what the 1 left over after splitting by '.' does there?
jurov: it would be 'asciilifeform_tx-orphanage_amputation.mod6.vpatch.sig'
jurov: instead of *.vpatch.*.sig you have *.vpatch.sig filenames which are a bit easier to work with
ascii_butugychag: the .asciilifeform.sig IMMEDIATELY tells you that asciilifeform signed the thing before the .
PeterL: should have patch.vpatch and patch.vpatch.SIGNER1.sig and patch.vpatch.SIGNER2.sig ?
PeterL: ok, makes sense to me, why change it?
ascii_butugychag: PeterL: idk, but jurov had some reason, which i still don't fully grasp
jurov: nevermind, i said, i did not though to be som paramount
jurov: only the question what is the '1' in bitcoin-asciilifeform.1.mod6.vpatch.sig doing there
mod6: a long time ago. we had a different convention.
mod6: and now its written in stone.
ascii_butugychag: v will run if you rename the patch to 'fuckyou' and the sig to 'fuckapig'
ascii_butugychag: (or rather, a slightly improved 'v' will run, existing one requires patch name to remain same)
jurov: so if there is a RFC someday you're against specifying filename convention?
ascii_butugychag: the O(N^2) instrinsic runtime of unknown-patch-bag+unknown-sig-bag is something i realized from the start
☟︎ ascii_butugychag: because i don't believe that any project has any business cancerously growing patches until this turns into a serious boojum.
mod6: any way the real sig name is currently "bitcoin-asciilifeform.1.vpatch.mod6.sig" not <+jurov> only the question what is the '1' in bitcoin-asciilifeform.1.mod6.vpatch.sig doing there
ascii_butugychag: the other thing i oughta mention is that imho a core principle of v-ism is that it is impermissible for trust to be implicitly delegated.
ascii_butugychag: this means that at no point do ~i~ get to do less verification ~because of something the mirror host does~ - e.g., verify mailed in patches
ascii_butugychag: this means that if jurov's box has to verify my patch against every known sig every single time it presses to post to www, SO SHOULD MINE
ascii_butugychag: in EXACTLY same way as my trb node does THE SAME amount of number crunching whether it hears a block from gavin's node or from mircea_popescu's.
jurov: what??? i said nothing bout delegations
ascii_butugychag: but you also gotta consider what your box will do if it gets an inappropriately (for whatever reason) named patch.
ascii_butugychag: what i say is that REGARDLESS of the names, if THE CRYPTO is valid, it is a VALID patch/seal tuple.
jurov: it will publish and otherwise ignore it, I will tell everyone to add it to their v repository by hand.

jurov: i don't see ml as any authoritative source, nor it can't be
jurov: that does not mean it can't be tidy
mod6: so what are we trying to achieve here?
mod6: its a good start to just not mangle the filenames -- thats all set now right?
mod6: !up ascii_butugychag
jurov: mod6 if it can validate a signature (by name, NOT by scanning all files), it will add to its v mirror
☟︎ mod6: jurov: oh ok, you were gonna have the ML dump the vpatch & seal out to a second mirror?
jurov: what does "seal out" mean?
ascii_butugychag: has anyone a position on whether patches oughta be broken into atoms ?
☟︎ mod6: ascii_butugychag: you mean, atoms in the sense of vpatches only for individual source files touched?
ascii_butugychag: well if you think about it, the way we have it now is actually more complicated
ascii_butugychag: in that things that have no business being glued together, ARE
mod6: we could do it that way, it /may/ make things easier in the sense of V -- we've been doing it the way we are to keep the patch count low iirc.
ascii_butugychag: i will leave the 'why' as an exercise. largely because this is not a pressing issue.
jurov: i see it as going back to RCS , no idea otherwise
jurov: iirc it tracked changes per one file only
ascii_butugychag: btw i hope everybody understands that life with 'v' is always going to resemble dark age blood sports like cvs, etc. far more than modern greased poles (e.g., 'git')

jurov: i did not say anything about comfort, either. how do you propose bundling the patch spanning several files where hunks don't make sense individually?
mircea_popescu: for the following reason : v adoption will induce a major shift in how software is treated,
mircea_popescu: and your guess depends on how people software as a much lower node on that tree.
mircea_popescu: people will NOT WANT to genesis an old and famous tree.
punkman: ascii_butugychag: that is, individual 'patchons' ? << darcs does some of that automatically

mircea_popescu: the only saving grace i see here is that it doesn't HAVE to be n^2

ascii_butugychag: it has plenty of each, but they are not on 'gs' civil service ladder.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, why didn't soviet russia mobilize all those book-only assets ?
mircea_popescu: why didn't 1910 china mobilize the infinity army it had and beat the english ?

mircea_popescu: not even close. it's just what you want to believe so as not to wake screaming from your sleep.
ascii_butugychag: so i would readily believe it if i had any reason to think it true
mircea_popescu: anyway, what i'm going to do here is : write a trilema article titled The V Manual Genesis or something, which will discuss but also contain a genesis for something called v-manual
mircea_popescu: i guess in time the convention that x-manual holds the manual will resolve this.
mircea_popescu: and the idea being, that one can read whatever fucking manual he wants, signed by whatever subset of sigs he likes.
mircea_popescu: but ima put it first as an article so we don't end up needing a ton of small fixes signed
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag this is going towards "animated programs", where instead of looking at a program as a[n ultimately] bitmap you instead look at it as a gif, with layers coming on top of each other.
mircea_popescu: makes your "fits on page" thing much more of an issue. "all programs must fit within so and so viewport"
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: machine only runs a flattened (pressed) item anyway
mircea_popescu: anyway, a large part of trying to make a manual is that fuck me, we barely even understand what we're doing.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag yes, but reading code is reading code.
ascii_butugychag: at any rate, the large part of what i see as needing a manual, is the ~why~ of v

BingoBoingo: ascii_butugychag: The crowd whose taste in music sucks so they pirate that and lament getting caught. Different from piracy because Fuck You in that pircy because Fuck you gets moral agency.
BingoBoingo: piracy because Fuck You is an actual cause
BingoBoingo: Mens Rae or the inability to have it is a driving force in Consumermunism
ascii_butugychag: BingoBoingo: you are thinking of... purpose, rather than cause

BingoBoingo: loller "Hi Mike. ... If I was a handler for an organization that wanted to insert an asset into the bitcoin community, someone like you would be the ideal candidate. Someone that young people, new to the community, naturally respect and will listen to. Strange how you've spent so much time cultivating your standing with people like that, while your reputation plummeted among the people that understood the network (and had far more
BingoBoingo: skin in the game than you did, because if I remember correctly you never foresaw the spectacular growth of the bitcoin network, never thought it would work, and therefore did not really have that many coins yourself)."

mircea_popescu: one just has to correctly make the statement of their incorectness in a proper formed T.
mircea_popescu for the first time in lyf regrets he's not been paying much attention to the whole pile of proofola.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: there is unlikely to be anything you ~really want~ at the bottom of that pile.
mircea_popescu: thinking atm something along the lines of "enough set theory to be able to define an algebra"
ascii_butugychag: my first and probably last encounter with a mechanical proofatron that isn't immediately barfalicious in any way

mircea_popescu: "When such an enormous amount of crucial data (on the need to raise the blocksize limit) is ignored, that is done at the peril of the project." dude what is with all the derps ffs.
mircea_popescu: what crucial data ? who who either holds any significant bitcoin, or runs any significant ~bitcoin~ business said ever anything about increasing block size ?
mircea_popescu: it hasn't happened yet! there's a pile of data about how people UNINVOLVED in bitcoin in ANY capacity want to "improve" it, preferabvly in such a manner that their continued uninvolvement is less to their own detriment.
mircea_popescu: here's an idea : there's an enormous amount of crucial data coming from all arab speakers that muricans should sit on a fucking pike from now on. because satan and such reasons.

ascii_butugychag: ty BingoBoingo. and i'm a little surprised that nobody (not even pete_dushenski) mentioned talmud yet
BingoBoingo: ascii_butugychag: Going talmud instead of western church doesn't shit on luke
danielpbarron: i don't get it; you want me to write a bible or something?
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: A guide to bilical/religious terms useful for understanding software
BingoBoingo: ascii_butugychag: Never seen talmud in the flesh but pulled my chumash off shelf jsut now to make sure still here
danielpbarron: what like "so and so patch begag such and such patch" ?
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: But consider v or a piece of v software like Bitcoind as a bible analogue. What language describes things that go around a bible.
BingoBoingo: Like mailing list as concordance to v chain
BingoBoingo: Useful for finding and digging, even if not itself dug
BingoBoingo: Scripture only is useful for the already attuned, but for people seeking attunement, accessory texts offer introduction guidance, and hopefully attunement with the canon.

ascii_butugychag: the 'talmudic' view (of which my summary is by no means an expert one) is that the margin notes are like a map of a mine field
ascii_butugychag: yes, the only CONCLUSIVE guide to the mine field is... the ~blam~
ascii_butugychag: but you would ideally like to have another, 'unauthoritative' guide.

danielpbarron: if you want to talk about V like you would talk about the Bible, you need hooks to point to (like chapter verse). so in V terms is this signed patch and line number or something?

☟︎ danielpbarron: heh that means V could grow to the size of planet earth
BingoBoingo: ascii_butugychag: It's build on a generic thing forked and genericized from evangelical group refugees. Influenced heavily by William James. WHo would have though studying "Classic American Philosophy" would have been useful for understanding anything.
assbot: Logged on 18-01-2016 16:10:17; ascii_butugychag: has anyone a position on whether patches oughta be broken into atoms ?
BingoBoingo: "Classic American Philosophy" consists of Peirce who was cotemporaneous with James and did some interesting logic stuff. James who wrote the best American rebuttal to Hegel. Dewey who ruined everyhting with socialism.
BingoBoingo: Then there's the black American philosophers who were largely discarded by socialists and comoonity organizers.
mircea_popescu: ironically enough, nobody is such an enemy of black achievement as the political party using color as a lever on the public treasury.
BingoBoingo: Seriously lots of great stuff from Black American philosphers until About 1890
BingoBoingo: America's chance of having a philosophical tradition though died between 1910 and 1920 when James died, Dewey was lionized, and everyone treated James as fringe religious thinker and not rebuttal of the Hegelian.
BingoBoingo: Not Melvil the library Dewey, John the Original Obama Dewey
BingoBoingo: Also distinct from the Dewey defeated by Truman
PeterL: Was that the original "called the election too early", or was there one before taht?
BingoBoingo: me has recently started rereading school he drank and pissed out of brain with fresh eye to discarding the retarded stuff.
PeterL: <danielpbarron> yes, and when you say l:f:p and I look it up, me must be looking at exactly the same code << shouldn't chapter/verse be pressing:file:line ?

BingoBoingo: Getting high never changes: "My conclusion is that the togetherness of things in a common world, the law of sharing, of which I have said so much, may, when perceived, engender a very powerful emotion; that Hegel was so unusually susceptible to this emotion throughout his life that its gratification became his supreme end, and made him tolerably unscrupulous as to means he employed; that indifferentism is the true outcome of every

trinque: BingoBoingo: I'm working on it; it was about 10 behind a while ago, getting worse

ascii_butugychag: we have something like that here, a few blokes sitting on what looks like upturned trash cans
mircea_popescu: isn't it supposed to be good for your back or something ?
BingoBoingo: It's good for developing back and core strength, but probably not so good to be used full time as chair substitute.
jurov: i have one too, good to occassionally exchange for chair. can't imagine whole day
jurov: lying on it with head hanging down causes exceptional relaxation useful for certain purposes
ascii_butugychag: soooo it turns out that "locate-dominating-file" is broken under emacs24 + recent crapple
jurov: i am currently trying emacs with evilmode and it goes in on my nerves, these layers upon layers
jurov: !up ascii_butugychag
shinohai: mod6 I need an ominous name for my node
BingoBoingo: shinohai: What interests do you have outside Bitcoin
shinohai: Reading. I still like old-fashioned books so I spend a lot of time in Library.
ascii_butugychag: l0l so easy to tell that mircea_popescu cut'n'pasted from pediwik
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Most dreaded thing in library is MARC and assorted cataloguing nonsense
shinohai: I still like Newspapers too, so you can read NY Times without the paywall and adware nonsense.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag i dun keep a non-sane kbd around so the only way to get stuff like the gullemets or kyrilix or such is to google.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: i have never in my entire life touched a non-latin kbd
ascii_butugychag: (with possible exception of one odd jp kbd i have lying around)
ascii_butugychag: 'flymake' (not flycheck!!11) ~will~ work if you use the copy that came with emacs 24.
ascii_butugychag: for the possibly 3 other people on the planet who give half a fuck ^^^^
ascii_butugychag: sorta lulzy, how if i didn't have a decade-old turd sitting in ~/emacs/site-lisp, i would never have gone off the reservation and learned about the flycheck crud
ascii_butugychag: would have happily carried on not knowing about systemd also, if had not..... etc
BingoBoingo waits for trinque and deedbot- to catch up so I can publish the news of the day
mircea_popescu: amusingly the best american poetry is by a canadian dude.
pete_dushenski: so after dying overnight (logs if anyone cares:
http://dpaste.com/2NNQG6Y.txt), tevye was treated to his first proper blackholing today (logs if anyone cares:
http://dpaste.com/0ENVMK9.txt). a steady 20-40 blocks behind for the past 7 hours or so until i finally said fuck it and re-started. he's now happily chomping away and should be back up to full height shortly.
pete_dushenski: looked like bucephalus was stuck at one point earlier as well. and zoolag is consistently trailing too. (at least according to bitnodes)
trinque: BingoBoingo: I shall ping ya.

mircea_popescu: so i just butchered the world's most idiotic computer case
mircea_popescu: you can not begin to comprehend this without pictures. the fucking power vent was actually UNDER the case.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: cheers on the latest two articles. just when i was starting to think that the death of trilema credits had made you lazy... bam !
pete_dushenski: too many logs, too little time. off to fiat bank. bbl.
