00:00:32 mircea_popescu: no, more like SHITFACE or DERPSTORM or whatever the fuck.
00:00:46 mircea_popescu: COUNTRYBUMPKIN
00:01:03 *: ben_vulpes is doing the same thing he's been doing for the past three weekends, building a sane development environment on actual metal
00:01:25 asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: where was it before? emulated in your brain ?
00:01:37 ben_vulpes: 'twas not sane.
00:01:46 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform before it was mass produced because five barons couldn't possibly etc.
00:01:47 ben_vulpes: myriad layers of virtualization.
00:01:50 asciilifeform: well you said 'actual metal', so i wondered about the meaning
00:01:51 asciilifeform: aha
00:02:12 ben_vulpes: have built in docker, cloud, etc
00:02:12 asciilifeform: is this the openbsd-on-old-mac thing ?
00:02:16 ben_vulpes: with a mouse, on a house
00:02:36 ben_vulpes: chapter something in the story, yes asciilifeform
00:02:51 ben_vulpes: should have listened to you, but must piss on each and every fence myself.
00:02:52 asciilifeform: iirc BingoBoingo once had something of the sort
00:03:00 asciilifeform: or was it netbsd
00:03:12 ben_vulpes: boost ate shit, tri segfaulted
00:03:21 ben_vulpes: video drivers etc
00:03:22 asciilifeform: !s from:BingoBoingo mac bsd
00:03:23 assbot: 2 results for 'from:BingoBoingo mac bsd' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=from%3ABingoBoingo+mac+bsd
00:03:34 ben_vulpes: today it's gentoo quest.
00:03:57 ben_vulpes: againstillnowwithgusto
00:04:01 asciilifeform: neato
00:04:15 asciilifeform: oddest beast i ever had gentoo on was a hp pa-risc.
00:04:32 asciilifeform: wasn't 'officially support', no.
00:04:42 ben_vulpes: "why gentoo?" asked $bzprtner, "is that the best linux thing around for working on mega-c projects?" "no, it's simply the least-worst and has a snowflake's chance of working"
00:05:01 ben_vulpes: 2 things drove this toolchain rebuild: exwm and tri-on-the-metal.
00:05:01 asciilifeform: https://jreypo.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/d330_view.jpg << one quite like this
00:05:02 assbot: ... ( http://bit.ly/238Z64T )
00:05:13 ben_vulpes: nifty device, asciilifeform
00:05:30 *: ben_vulpes downloading stage three for the...second? third? time today
00:05:32 asciilifeform: 55 kg.
00:05:46 asciilifeform: without disks or power supply, iirc.
00:11:53 guruvan: lol - gentoo "a snowflake's chance of working" << probably not much more, but at least you know why it's broken
00:13:55 guruvan: that's on today's agenda is to see why my glibc fails out of the latest portage :P
00:18:47 ben_vulpes: guruvan: what better route forward then? ubuntu 14.04?
00:19:25 guruvan: poh - no - I'm going forward with all my own gentoos :) zomg ubuntu 14.04
00:19:48 mircea_popescu: ah finally found that fucking article!
00:19:50 guruvan: I do use some in some docker images for various purposes, but my heaviest use images are all gentoo based
00:20:03 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.�
00:20:03 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.
00:20:07 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."
00:20:17 mircea_popescu: https://archive.is/dwSkS#selection-241.0-259.119 << anyone remember how infoseek / altavista etc looked back in the day ?
00:20:18 assbot: The Blind Lead the Sighted: ... ( http://bit.ly/238ZRLa )
00:21:29 guruvan: heh I definitely remember altavista
00:22:32 mircea_popescu: the only practical way to know google didn't fucking invent the un-shat-upon screen is to personally know the devs that had done it before. i suspect this is true of most "genius ideas".
00:23:18 guruvan: once those ideas have sufficient network effect yet
00:23:20 guruvan: yes
00:23:56 punkman: did chetty read c++ via text-to-speech?
00:24:24 mircea_popescu: depends who wrote it / on what system, etc.
00:24:28 mircea_popescu: mostly no.
00:24:40 ben_vulpes: there are excellent reasons for the 80-col law.
00:29:39 punkman: my sympathies to friends, family and eulorean tribes
00:29:54 punkman: did she ever keep a blog, memoirs?
00:32:57 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.
00:33:10 mircea_popescu: not aware that there'd by any memoirs. she was kinda young for that sort of thing.

02:50:25 BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-01-2016#1374605 << this is actually a good move, and the logical reaction to ascii's ban. << It is, but prolly ought to make sure power ranger nodes don't drop our connecion if we're expecteded to pass some flag while running protocol version 99999

15:25:18 jurov: oh when i see it: trinque and everyone, pls send detached signatures as <name>.sig
15:25:49 trinque: jurov: k
15:26:12 jurov: ml currently passes all attachments regardless when there is valid clearsigned text but it may not always the case
15:28:21 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?
15:28:38 jurov: not it is not related to v
15:28:57 jurov: it is how ml prosesses attachments
15:29:02 jurov: *processes
15:29:03 mod6: i.e.: asciilifeform-kills-integer-retardation.vpatch && asciilifeform-kills-integer-retardation.vpatch.asciilifeform.sig
15:29:09 mod6: that's how they need to be
15:29:28 jurov: why the second .asciilifeform ?
15:29:45 jurov: one is .anything , the other one .anything.sig
15:29:59 mod6: so i was wrong above, not just .sig, but <vpatch_name>.vpatch.<wot_id>.sig
15:30:06 jurov: or V requires author's name in the suffix?
15:30:27 mod6: take a look at these: http://thebitcoin.foundation/v/seals/
15:30:28 assbot: Index of /v/seals ... ( http://bit.ly/1V1TpQn )
15:30:28 jurov: oh my, who designed this?
15:30:30 mod6: that's how they need to be.
15:30:39 mod6: alf
15:31:20 mod6: which, i think is fine because then i can sign that patch and call it: asciilifeform-kills-integer-retardation.vpatch.mod6.sig
15:31:30 mod6: and then v can differentiate them easily
15:33:39 mod6: !up ascii_butugychag
15:33:51 jurov: so imma have a regex like ([^_]+)_.*?\.vpatch\.(.*?)\.sig to find out something to feed to v?
15:33:57 ascii_butugychag: jurov, mod6: i designed the naming convention this way deliberately
15:34:15 ascii_butugychag: the first name (not used by v for anything) is the ~author~
15:34:25 ascii_butugychag: the second - used by the sig checker - is WHO SIGNED
15:34:39 jurov: but it requires PARSING
15:34:50 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)
15:35:24 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)
15:35:34 ascii_butugychag: so go ahead, don't parse, but then enjoy waiting
15:35:39 ascii_butugychag: during every single op.
15:35:55 jurov: is it too late to use some better delimiter to extract the parts?
15:36:02 ascii_butugychag: like what ?
15:36:05 jurov: :
15:36:21 ascii_butugychag: what os are you on that is happy with : in paths ? vms ?
15:36:49 ascii_butugychag: what the hell is wrong with . ?
15:36:53 jurov: authorname:patchname:signername.vpatch.sig
15:37:13 jurov: then use dot after authorname, too
15:37:20 ascii_butugychag: but... why??
15:37:21 jurov: it is relevant for ml
15:37:25 ascii_butugychag: why not FIX THE ML
15:37:28 ascii_butugychag: instead of breaking v.
15:37:41 jurov: also, what if someone has a nick with _ ?
15:37:51 jurov: like mircea_popescu
15:38:11 ascii_butugychag: that makes no difference
15:38:13 mircea_popescu: huh ?
15:38:14 ascii_butugychag: the author name is for human eyes only
15:38:22 ascii_butugychag: only the signer-name is machine-parsed
15:38:39 jurov: yes? how do i extract author and patchname?
15:38:49 ascii_butugychag: why do you need to ?
15:39:03 ascii_butugychag: recall how mircea_popescu argued that it makes no sense to mechanically distinguish between author and signers?
15:39:08 jurov: you say noone will ever need to?
15:39:35 ascii_butugychag: the correct way to do this is for the first seal to be deedbotted to produce the attribution of the author.
15:39:44 ascii_butugychag: rather than magicks in the filenamez.
15:39:59 ascii_butugychag: protocol vs promise (tm) (r)
15:40:20 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.
15:40:36 jurov: and how does ml match signarute to vpatch?
15:40:43 mircea_popescu: same fingerprint no ?
15:40:49 ascii_butugychag: using the .name.sig convention
15:40:51 ascii_butugychag: as now.
15:40:57 mircea_popescu: uh
15:40:58 jurov: someonse sends 3 patches with 3 sigs, I either have to get the match with gnarly regext above
15:41:04 mircea_popescu: didn't you just contradict yourself ?
15:41:08 ascii_butugychag: and realize that we can set all the filenames to 'fuckyou' and v will still work
15:41:08 jurov: or try to match each vs. each
15:41:11 ascii_butugychag: correctly
15:41:13 ascii_butugychag: just, slowly
15:41:17 ascii_butugychag: O(N^2)
15:41:30 jurov: why v can't require strict naming?
15:41:36 ascii_butugychag: why must it ?
15:41:51 ascii_butugychag: why tie to filesystem oddities that may go away when we get a sane os ?
15:41:58 jurov: to not need O(N^2) sig verificaiton
15:42:09 jurov: how will sane os solve this?
15:42:22 ascii_butugychag: jurov: it doesn't need even now. what is your problem with patchname.signer.sig ?
15:42:46 ascii_butugychag: i could even see the argument that 'signer' oughta be a gpg fp
15:42:49 jurov: because i need to match it to patchname.vpatch
15:43:06 ascii_butugychag: it matches trivially!
15:43:38 jurov: no it maps to patchname.vpatch.<unknown>.sig
15:43:39 ascii_butugychag: patchname in 'patchname.vpatch' must equal patchname in patchname.signer.sig
15:43:47 ascii_butugychag: jurov: holy shit, why ??
15:44:22 jurov: how?
15:44:35 ascii_butugychag: v - works.
15:44:45 ascii_butugychag: mine works, mod6's works, possibly ben_vulpes's also works.
15:44:55 jurov: v works because it has prearranged files, wot keys
15:44:56 ascii_butugychag: and now jurov has something that does not ? so fix ~it~ plox ?
15:45:24 ascii_butugychag: prearranged, aha. what's wrong with that ?
15:45:32 jurov: i just have some random bunch of name.vpatvh and somethingother.sig someone sends by email
15:45:41 ascii_butugychag: if you want the filenames to be garbage, you will have O(N^2) evaluation.
15:45:45 ascii_butugychag: there is no way around this.
15:45:51 ascii_butugychag: and i don't see why permit garbage.
15:46:21 jurov: i want filename.vpatch that i can just take and slap .sig in the end of it to find a signature
15:46:55 ascii_butugychag: very bad
15:47:08 ascii_butugychag: because it will end up trying to overwrite every OTHER sig
15:47:15 jurov: but this is Not Possible, now I have to parse the patchname out, and use that to look for sigs
15:47:15 ascii_butugychag: more than one person signs a patch
15:47:42 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.
15:48:22 jurov: ok, why can't the .vpatch and author fields swap?
15:48:38 ascii_butugychag: give example of the result ?
15:48:59 ascii_butugychag: let's start with 'asciilifeform_tx-orphanage_amputation.vpatch.mod6.sig'
15:49:00 jurov: bitcoin-asciilifeform.1.mod6.vpatch.sig
15:49:04 ascii_butugychag: what will this be under new convention ?
15:49:18 jurov: also, what the 1 left over after splitting by '.' does there?
15:49:37 jurov: it would be 'asciilifeform_tx-orphanage_amputation.mod6.vpatch.sig'
15:49:54 ascii_butugychag: how does this help anything ?
15:50:12 ascii_butugychag: that .mod6. does not belong in the vpatch name
15:50:18 ascii_butugychag: it relates ONLY to the seal
15:50:43 jurov: so?
15:51:02 ascii_butugychag: so i don't see what the point is of this change
15:51:06 ascii_butugychag: it breaks everybody's 'v'
15:51:08 ascii_butugychag: to what end ?
15:51:14 jurov: instead of *.vpatch.*.sig you have *.vpatch.sig filenames which are a bit easier to work with
15:51:29 ascii_butugychag: HOW?
15:51:46 ascii_butugychag: the .asciilifeform.sig IMMEDIATELY tells you that asciilifeform signed the thing before the .
15:51:55 ascii_butugychag: what the fuck is the point of garbling it ?
15:52:01 ascii_butugychag: easier for WHAT ?
15:52:35 jurov: eh nm
15:52:38 PeterL: should have patch.vpatch and patch.vpatch.SIGNER1.sig and patch.vpatch.SIGNER2.sig ?
15:52:53 ascii_butugychag: PeterL: this is the EXISTING convention, yes
15:52:57 ascii_butugychag: which happens to be sane.
15:53:09 PeterL: ok, makes sense to me, why change it?
15:53:27 ascii_butugychag: PeterL: idk, but jurov had some reason, which i still don't fully grasp
15:53:38 jurov: nevermind, i said, i did not though to be som paramount
15:55:43 jurov: only the question what is the '1' in bitcoin-asciilifeform.1.mod6.vpatch.sig doing there
15:56:03 ascii_butugychag: actually in that case i've no idea, iirc mod6 put it there
15:56:09 mod6: a long time ago. we had a different convention.
15:56:20 mod6: and now its written in stone.
15:56:26 ascii_butugychag: the fortunate thing is that it is NOT
15:56:39 ascii_butugychag: v will run if you rename the patch to 'fuckyou' and the sig to 'fuckapig'
15:57:01 ascii_butugychag: (or rather, a slightly improved 'v' will run, existing one requires patch name to remain same)
15:57:46 ascii_butugychag: but then you get O(N^2), yes.
15:58:23 jurov: so if there is a RFC someday you're against specifying filename convention?
15:58:29 ascii_butugychag: yes.
15:58:32 ascii_butugychag: let me say why.
15:58:54 ascii_butugychag: the O(N^2) instrinsic runtime of unknown-patch-bag+unknown-sig-bag is something i realized from the start
15:58:59 ascii_butugychag: and i don't see it as a serious boojum
15:59:17 ascii_butugychag: because i don't believe that any project has any business cancerously growing patches until this turns into a serious boojum.
15:59:27 ascii_butugychag: after a certain point, there oughta be a new genesis.
15:59:38 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
15:59:40 ascii_butugychag: nothing lives forever.
16:00:26 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.
16:00:48 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
16:00:55 ascii_butugychag: i have to do THE SAME amount of verification work.
16:01:00 ascii_butugychag: or we're using shithub, not v.
16:01:27 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
16:01:37 ascii_butugychag: does this make sense ?
16:01:42 ascii_butugychag: no implicit delegations.
16:02:29 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.
16:02:44 jurov: what??? i said nothing bout delegations
16:02:54 ascii_butugychag: jurov: this is separate, mostly
16:03:15 ascii_butugychag: but you also gotta consider what your box will do if it gets an inappropriately (for whatever reason) named patch.
16:03:32 ascii_butugychag: what i say is that REGARDLESS of the names, if THE CRYPTO is valid, it is a VALID patch/seal tuple.
16:03:35 ascii_butugychag: for all time.
16:04:33 jurov: it will publish and otherwise ignore it, I will tell everyone to add it to their v repository by hand.
16:04:45 jurov: (if anyone asks)
16:05:43 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 2554 @ 0.00050896 = 1.2999 BTC [-]
16:06:36 jurov: i don't see ml as any authoritative source, nor it can't be
16:06:54 jurov: that does not mean it can't be tidy
16:06:56 mod6: so what are we trying to achieve here?
16:07:29 mod6: its a good start to just not mangle the filenames -- thats all set now right?
16:07:54 mod6: !up ascii_butugychag
16:08:48 jurov: mod6 if it can validate a signature (by name, NOT by scanning all files), it will add to its v mirror
16:08:57 jurov: that's all
16:09:05 mircea_popescu: in other news, http://www.cabinaselquetzal.com/fotos/P1070211.JPG
16:09:07 assbot: ... ( http://bit.ly/1PBsZkl )
16:09:51 mod6: jurov: oh ok, you were gonna have the ML dump the vpatch & seal out to a second mirror?
16:10:02 ascii_butugychag: incidentally
16:10:07 ascii_butugychag: since folks are contemplating 'ideal v'
16:10:14 jurov: what does "seal out" mean?
16:10:17 ascii_butugychag: has anyone a position on whether patches oughta be broken into atoms ?
16:10:28 ascii_butugychag: that is, individual 'patchons' ?
16:10:31 mircea_popescu: jurov dump (the vpatch & seal) out to
16:10:43 jurov: oh that, yes
16:10:51 ascii_butugychag: (the objects where ---whatever, HASH +++whatever, HASH)
16:10:54 mircea_popescu: we'll end up with bitcoin-lispassets.
16:11:11 mod6: ascii_butugychag: you mean, atoms in the sense of vpatches only for individual source files touched?
16:11:12 ascii_butugychag: well if you think about it, the way we have it now is actually more complicated
16:11:20 ascii_butugychag: in that things that have no business being glued together, ARE
16:11:25 ascii_butugychag: from sheer historical accident
16:11:33 ascii_butugychag: mod6: correct
16:12:01 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.
16:12:16 ascii_butugychag: mod6: correct. and to save wear on our trigger fingers
16:12:23 ascii_butugychag: but it may lead us to tears later.
16:12:28 jurov: and why?
16:13:04 ascii_butugychag: i will leave the 'why' as an exercise. largely because this is not a pressing issue.
16:13:31 jurov: i see it as going back to RCS , no idea otherwise
16:14:13 ascii_butugychag: rcs ?
16:14:42 jurov: iirc it tracked changes per one file only
16:14:46 assbot: RCS - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation ... ( http://bit.ly/1PBtuuC )
16:15:45 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')
16:15:53 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 5800 @ 0.00052044 = 3.0186 BTC [+] {2}
16:16:16 mircea_popescu: should i break down and try to rfc this ?
16:16:22 ascii_butugychag: because it is not built for comfort. just as t-34 tank was not.
16:16:32 ascii_butugychag: or how kalash buttstock is not built to be a dildo.
16:17:23 ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: sounds splendid
16:17:30 mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-01-2016#1375228 << what's your idea of that certain point ? 1k ? 10k ? 1mn ?
16:17:30 assbot: Logged on 18-01-2016 15:59:27; ascii_butugychag: after a certain point, there oughta be a new genesis.
16:17:41 ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: 'when epoch ends'
16:17:45 ascii_butugychag: it isn't a numeric thing
16:17:52 mircea_popescu: seems on some very rudimentary testing and evaluation that the compile would still take longer than the gathering of patches with ~1mn ish of them around
16:18:29 ascii_butugychag: and it parallelizes.
16:18:31 mircea_popescu: but this is not a matter to be handwaved.
16:18:41 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?
16:18:43 mircea_popescu: for the following reason : v adoption will induce a major shift in how software is treated,
16:18:58 mircea_popescu: and your guess depends on how people software as a much lower node on that tree.
16:19:07 mircea_popescu: people will NOT WANT to genesis an old and famous tree.
16:19:48 ascii_butugychag: why not ?
16:19:55 punkman: ascii_butugychag: that is, individual 'patchons' ? << darcs does some of that automatically
16:20:01 mircea_popescu: for the same reason louis xvth pretended he comes from the fucking sun
16:20:03 ascii_butugychag: one would think that an old and famous tree woudl end up perma-pressed at some point
16:20:10 mircea_popescu: by whom ?
16:20:23 ascii_butugychag: just like every kid who wants to doodle in the margins of newton's principia starts with ~the same~ edition thereof
16:20:27 mircea_popescu: need i remind you the lulz of x.org recently lost ?
16:20:33 ascii_butugychag: rather than a randomly selected one of 100 newton-era drafts
16:20:45 ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: wai wut??
16:20:47 mircea_popescu: you can't get those people in a room together to sign a new genesis.
16:21:01 mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag x lost its only asset because people couldn't agree to sit down and extend it.
16:21:10 ascii_butugychag: l0l!!

16:21:29 ascii_butugychag: of what? lead in the water ?
16:22:05 mircea_popescu: consider this scenario : bitcoin in 2020. mod6 has meanwhile gone hunting seals on the artic circle. you live in a remote mining colony up on the fucking moon.
16:22:13 mircea_popescu: how the fuck do we "re-genesis" the bitcoin ?
16:22:30 ascii_butugychag: that's the job of whoever thinks it needs another million patches, no?
16:22:43 mircea_popescu: this is not reason.
16:22:58 mircea_popescu: the only saving grace i see here is that it doesn't HAVE to be n^2
16:23:04 mircea_popescu: it can also be n, if you just use the right fucking names.
16:23:12 ascii_butugychag: as i wrote it, aha.
16:23:22 mircea_popescu: but let us be considerate to the progeny.
16:23:30 ascii_butugychag: i very clearly spelled this out, when first published it.
16:23:35 mircea_popescu: i think we've seen enough of the pitfals of disconsidering progeny in satoshi's work.
16:24:21 mod6: amen
16:29:21 mircea_popescu: "The basic formatting conventions for RFCs were established in the 1970s by the original RFC Editor, Jon Postel."
16:30:12 mircea_popescu: da fuck. am i going to call it a rfc ? if not, why not, if yes am i going to follow the "guidelines" ? which ? the most recent ? who the fuck is "Internet Architecture Board (IAB)" that i should care, nevber heard of 'em. the original ? seriously, postel ?
16:30:27 mircea_popescu: fucking shit before you do anything you gotta dry some land first.
16:31:15 mircea_popescu: o look at that, importing cmos.
16:31:56 mircea_popescu: "The RFC Editor generally follows these accepted rules as defined by the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) [CMOS], with a few important exceptions to avoid ambiguity in complex technical prose and to handle mixtures of text and computer languages, or to preserve historical formatting rules." << kids, this is how not to code.

16:33:16 PeterL: we need our own RFC format?
16:33:34 mircea_popescu: tel lyou what, i'ma make it a v instead, fuck this stupid shit.
16:33:37 ascii_butugychag: this is kinda why i stopped
16:33:39 mircea_popescu: i'm not importing rfc.

16:39:12 ascii_butugychag: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-01-2016#1375311 << so i read this, and one thing continues to perplex me,
16:39:12 assbot: Logged on 18-01-2016 16:21:29; deedbot-: [fraudsters] USG in BTC, a history of constant failure - http://fraudsters.com/2016/usg-in-btc-a-history-of-constant-failure/
16:40:09 ascii_butugychag: why does usg keep returning to idiot humint claptrap (e.g., 'consensus-building' etc) when it could leverage its only real strength, money and captive engineers ?
16:40:19 ascii_butugychag: build yottahash plant, etc.
16:40:23 mircea_popescu: that it has no money and no engineers.
16:41:00 mircea_popescu: why does it keep losing in the east when it could have "leveraged" it's "best army in the world" bahamas has in rthe books ?
16:41:04 ascii_butugychag: it has plenty of each, but they are not on 'gs' civil service ladder.
16:41:14 mircea_popescu: for that matter, why didn't soviet russia mobilize all those book-only assets ?
16:41:25 mircea_popescu: why didn't 1910 china mobilize the infinity army it had and beat the english ?
16:41:32 ascii_butugychag: because they wanted american pants.
16:41:35 mircea_popescu: you recall the story of the palace fire when that castrato ascended ?
16:41:43 ascii_butugychag: there is not a meta-america whose pants these engineers want to put on.
16:41:50 ascii_butugychag: that is sorta the whole of it.
16:42:05 ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: pu yi ? aha
16:42:06 mircea_popescu: not even close. it's just what you want to believe so as not to wake screaming from your sleep.
16:42:13 ascii_butugychag: hey i already wake up screaming
16:42:25 ascii_butugychag: so i would readily believe it if i had any reason to think it true
16:42:34 ascii_butugychag: what, i'll scream twice ?
16:42:43 mircea_popescu: anyway, what i'm going to do here is : write a fraudsters article titled The V Manual Genesis or something, which will discuss but also contain a genesis for something called v-manual
16:42:54 mircea_popescu: is that a good name for it ? kinda confusing as fuck
16:43:08 mircea_popescu: i guess in time the convention that x-manual holds the manual will resolve this.
16:43:08 ascii_butugychag: i called my draft simply 'v-genesis'
16:43:17 mircea_popescu: that's already taken

16:43:25 ascii_butugychag: ah hm then manual wurks
16:43:46 mircea_popescu: and the idea being, that one can read whatever fucking manual he wants, signed by whatever subset of sigs he likes.
16:43:47 ascii_butugychag: incidentally
16:43:56 ascii_butugychag: i see no reason why mailing lists ought not be vtronic
16:44:00 mircea_popescu: but ima put it first as an article so we don't end up needing a ton of small fixes signed
16:44:02 ascii_butugychag: the ultimate historic annals.
16:44:41 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.
16:44:59 mircea_popescu: makes your "fits on page" thing much more of an issue. "all programs must fit within so and so viewport"
16:45:20 ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: machine only runs a flattened (pressed) item anyway
16:45:24 ascii_butugychag: that is the part that 'oughta fit'
16:45:26 mircea_popescu: anyway, a large part of trying to make a manual is that fuck me, we barely even understand what we're doing.
16:45:32 mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag yes, but reading code is reading code.
16:45:52 ascii_butugychag: reading history - is an art
16:46:49 ascii_butugychag: at any rate, the large part of what i see as needing a manual, is the ~why~ of v
16:47:13 ascii_butugychag: rather than the 'how', which is bound up in a particular implementation and probably best learned from ~reading its src~
16:47:26 mircea_popescu: myah.
16:47:45 punkman: uppercase verbs for #b-a RFC: MUST, MUST NOT, FUCK YOU

19:25:18 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

19:38:43 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.

20:54:21 jurov: mircea_popescu: still, then it would be the first successful ever of non-axiomatic proof of nonexistence
20:54:23 ascii_butugychag: sorta why i didn't cut'em up to begin with
20:54:29 mircea_popescu: jurov yes.
20:54:58 mircea_popescu: i did say it's scandalous. this is no small part of why.
20:58:34 ben_vulpes: ascii_butugychag: it's haskell, who knows or cares
20:58:48 ben_vulpes: it's your gulagbox, who knows or cares

20:59:03 ascii_butugychag: ben_vulpes: i was asking about ~flymake~
20:59:06 ben_vulpes: oh
20:59:11 ascii_butugychag: y'know, the thing that people actually use
20:59:14 ascii_butugychag: and is built into emacs
20:59:17 ben_vulpes: ah
20:59:19 ascii_butugychag: not the heathen 'alternative'
20:59:27 ben_vulpes: no idear
20:59:33 ascii_butugychag: how the fuq do you even program
20:59:38 mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag if you ask it, flymake also built into emacs 25.
20:59:45 ascii_butugychag: it is
20:59:53 mircea_popescu: right.
20:59:58 mircea_popescu: uh i mean flycheck
20:59:59 ascii_butugychag: but it appears to be broken on crapple os 10.10 and above.
21:00:01 ascii_butugychag: mno
21:00:06 ascii_butugychag: flycheck is built into nothing.

21:01:45 ascii_butugychag: ~flymake~ comes with emacs.
21:02:00 ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> uh i mean flycheck
21:03:00 ascii_butugychag: flycheck does not come with emacs and probably will not until rms dies.
21:03:23 ascii_butugychag: (at which point it will likely be renamed poetteringmacs and ~will~ ship with flycheck.)
21:03:24 ben_vulpes: i'm not arguing that

21:06:15 ben_vulpes: sure
21:06:21 ascii_butugychag: i ASKED FOR this machine.
21:06:40 ascii_butugychag: because the alternative, the only alternative, was... well, the last machine
21:07:07 mircea_popescu: alf should star in a modern married with children, "i work on computers for a living"
21:07:17 ascii_butugychag: where it took me months to sort-of set things up, and wrangle gentoo, and still ended up with not-quite-working video etc
21:07:21 ascii_butugychag: and no suspend mode
21:07:22 mircea_popescu: "and it's not as bad as you think"
21:07:43 ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: unfortunately i don't get the reference
21:07:56 mircea_popescu: there's this sitcom about a guy with an idle wife.
21:08:19 ben_vulpes: ascii_butugychag: this is what you get for trying to do s33r1ous wurk! on a portable
21:08:37 ascii_butugychag: ben_vulpes: there is no escape from portable.

21:08:56 ben_vulpes: and i suppose broomstick.
21:09:01 ascii_butugychag: only broomstick.
21:09:07 ascii_butugychag: or nagant, i suppose.
21:09:15 ben_vulpes: no but why must you have the computing device with you?
21:09:20 mircea_popescu: my bitchez can benchpress me! get some to carry your desktop!!1
21:09:25 ascii_butugychag: ben_vulpes: to ever get to work remotely ?
21:09:46 ben_vulpes: is this for the /chance/ to do so or the /promise/ to do so?
21:09:57 mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag can't you just mount a proper computer somehwere and...uhh... ssh into it ? or i guess telnet lol.
21:10:12 ben_vulpes: if chance, it's a poor gamble. if it's a promise, why can't they buy a box for your haus?
21:10:14 ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: doesn't work so great with multiple gigantic displays
21:10:22 mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag yes, it does. let me do some math for you.
21:10:35 ascii_butugychag: ben_vulpes: korporate kulture
21:10:47 mircea_popescu: one hour of employee time, admitting you get paid $100, costs your employer ~250 or so.
21:11:08 mircea_popescu: the choice between whipping up ten desktops in fixed positions and having you spend a week dicking around with shittops should be obvious,

21:18:23 ascii_butugychag: ben_vulpes: boss thinks i'm a... mathematician

21:53:00 mircea_popescu: aha
21:53:07 ascii_butugychag: (it is, really, to keep people from 'infidelity', collecting multiple salaries)
21:53:38 ascii_butugychag: also to keep'em from taking their bezzle and turning it into turkeys in paraguay
21:53:45 ascii_butugychag: we did this thread. where is it?!
21:53:54 mircea_popescu: doesn't matter, ima keep pushing!
21:55:10 ascii_butugychag: incidentally, your local mains power company will also shit bricks if you have serious inductive loads in your house (shifts phase, interferes with their metering)
21:55:15 ascii_butugychag: sort of similar phenomenon
21:55:55 mircea_popescu: they couldn't care less / have nfi what anything is.
21:56:11 ascii_butugychag: try it.
21:56:21 mircea_popescu: i have.
21:56:56 mircea_popescu: i suppose i should take a pic of the meters for your amusement. they look like they were exported from the su, cca 1930.
21:57:02 ascii_butugychag: at any rate it will look INDISTINGUISHABLE from a bypassed meter and in most countries this leads to 'problemz'
21:57:22 ascii_butugychag: but i can't speak for mircea_popescu's orcs, aha.
21:57:23 mircea_popescu: yes, but in argentina public notary feels not one bit threatened by bypassing vat.
21:58:05 ascii_butugychag: i suspect it's a 'quod licet jovi..' situation
21:58:33 mircea_popescu: moreover, i paid 200 peso (~15 bucks) for 375 KWh burned.
21:58:42 mircea_popescu: this is less than half what it costs even in romania (major exporter)
21:58:53 mircea_popescu: at that price i doubt it's worth their time to even find out.
21:59:18 ascii_butugychag: anyway it was example.

22:04:51 mod6: how do they expect men in three-piece suits to entertain the idea of bouncing on a fucking ball all day long.
22:05:33 mod6: instead of chairs they give you the option of sitting on a ball. i thought these balls were just for bending girls over on.
22:05:47 BingoBoingo: trinque: Are you sure deedbot- is only ~10 blocks behind? I'm not seeing any of today's deeds on the www
