trinque: seems relevant to the lisp vs perl thing
asciilifeform: trinque: but basic idea is that single-tasking, single-threaded box was inherently responsive
trinque: perl's an interface to a handful of problems, ignores other things
asciilifeform: it -had- to be
trinque: I was for example shocked to find an object system in CL as a layman
trinque: and a few months in I'm pretty sure it has goddamn everything, so to speak
trinque: any "paradigm" of programming you'd like to use
asciilifeform: trinque: because everywhere else on the planet 'object-oriented' is synonymous with 'profound retardation', yes
trinque: yeah, and I went to a school that did C++ and Java, and dropped out of that
gabriel_laddel: <trinque> seems relevant to the lisp vs perl thing << ummm... the angle I'm attacking this from is that meta-programming is inescapable and sexprs are the only sane way to go unless you want to program forth or APL.
trinque: then went on to do python and ruby in industry
trinque: it's a wonder I can hit the toilet with my ass
gabriel_laddel: we know how ALGOL and meta-programming (tree-traversals) interact
trinque: gabriel_laddel: sure, seems you need code to be data to do metaprogramming well
gabriel_laddel: not only that - you /must/ have a simple parsing algorithm, else upgrades are a bitch
gabriel_laddel: checkout the scala "macro" system sometime.
gabriel_laddel: s-expressions + read tables are the ultimate notational abstraction
trinque: way less mental fatigue looking at them, I've found
trinque: I have to run; cheers
asciilifeform: one observation of mine is that the abstraction that most determines the shape of a program is
asciilifeform: the unavailable one(s).
gabriel_laddel: way less mental fatigue looking at them, I've found << I suppose. One can learn to read most anything. The importance here is the triviality of generating "syntactically correct" program texts.
asciilifeform: think this way - if the problem were entirely contained in an -available- set of abstractions of the language, the program would not need to be written!
asciilifeform: (best program is no program.)
gabriel_laddel: !s brick lisp
assbot: 8 results for 'brick lisp' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=brick+lisp
gabriel_laddel: While we're here, I'll note that being tied to text (perl) is quite limiting. On CLIM today I can tell any object how to "present" itself, i.e., how to draw itself on the screen. Such a thing is unthinkable in a language based around regexes.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: it is a mistake to describe perl as 'based on' anything in particular. it is soup, consisting of the entire contents of a crashed delivery van. soup reflective of what is to be found in the author's skullcase.
asciilifeform: this appeals to some people
asciilifeform: for a variety of reasons
asciilifeform: partly because it makes a convincing simulacrum of problem-solving, as (per naggum) hollywood special effects 'may as well be the real thing'
asciilifeform: partly because it allows imbeciles to feel as if they are 'sticking the finger' to those boring 'squares' who actually take the time to think things through
asciilifeform: partly because perl proggies tend to be 'throw-aways' and absolve the author of the burden of actually carrying anything through to completion or (horror) supporting
asciilifeform: but also for many other reasons, which i will not waste readers' time on.
gabriel_laddel B.A.D (bitcoin-assets distro) update #1, I just finished rewriting mozrepl in parenscript. Now to cut out extra crud.
mircea_popescu: trinque re the dos point of sale, best breakfast p[lace here had one, made like 1985 or some shit
asciilifeform: ^ it immediately caught my eye when saw it
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> nature's criterion of 'works' and mine << nature's cheaper. you might not get a voice.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in the end, the amoeba get the voice.

mircea_popescu: the unmentionable matchsticks
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-04-2015#1111057 << floating point's just a convention, right ?

mircea_popescu: seems nuts. 1% of new price if used ?
asciilifeform: aha. just like the xyz robot i worked with
mircea_popescu: so where's the 300 dollar bmws
asciilifeform: these things deprecate on the 'usg pays maxint, scrap dealer pays 1%' formula.
asciilifeform: that is where the 300 bmw is.
assbot: Logged on 25-04-2015 23:21:58; asciilifeform: i mention it because i can imagine a world where such clocks are considered not only acceptable, but 'state of the art' and 'best practice'
mircea_popescu: before smartphones, it was not uncommon to stop two people in the street whose clocks were 30 minutes apart.
asciilifeform: there would be a 300 usd bmw if a) 500 people knew of bmw b) machine could only be driven on 100 particular race courses c) by a ph.d. or equiv. d) running on virgin piss
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: l0l wut? clock towers existed
asciilifeform: now, lazy people also existed. and still exist
mircea_popescu: virgin piss is not that rare
mircea_popescu: especially in the us.
asciilifeform: export market then.
asciilifeform: but back to the machines, because i consider this a mega-educational moment - there are countless instruments where you can pay, e.g., 10k on 'ebay' but you can also pay 800k if you want new, with support contract, for the mandatory softs to not be considered pirated, etc., etc., (most of this is strictly usg)
asciilifeform: the one consumer crud item which (i am told) behaves in a similar way is - diamonds.

mircea_popescu: williamdunne so in retrospect : "immutable, fungible, non-discriminatory, and trustless" is really redundant. fungible includes "non-discriminatory".
jayk: !gettrust jayk
assbot: Trust relationship from user jayk to user jayk: ∞ | http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/user/jayk/
mircea_popescu: i would suspect maybe trustless is a misnomer. trust is not involved at all, the point is coherence. the system remains coherent, which is to say it does not fork into ambiguous states.
mircea_popescu: maybe the best description would be "immutable, fungible and entropic"
mircea_popescu: because that is the property here : same as entropy, bitcoin lacks the ability to review earlier states on the base of later states.
mircea_popescu: so described, it is rather clear that bitcoin can not in fact exist : immutability and entropy are mutually contradictory.
jayk: is it worth throwing any money at a mining pool these days with bitcoin being flat?
cazalla: jayk, let someone else bare the cost and just buy coins straight up
jayk: better to buy them right now then
cazalla: bear even
jayk: i heard you cant be profitable at $200-250
mircea_popescu: jayk you mean renting hash power ? that was never a good deal.
jayk: nope
jayk: self owned
jayk: i never liked the idea, and BFLY labs tried to do it
mircea_popescu: what do you mean ? you got some miners in garage ?
mircea_popescu: yes turning them on is usually profitable.
jayk: nope, nothing yet
mircea_popescu: then depends what you pay for them.
jayk: or if you can get them
mircea_popescu: plenty for sale afaik
jayk: seems many places are hard to obtain, and kncminer doesnt sell equip anymore
mircea_popescu: "It, together with smart contracts, has been let out of Pandora’s Box – never to return, never to be unlearned, no matter how badly some of us might want it to."
mircea_popescu: oh for crying out loud.
mircea_popescu: other things sharing the same properties, "the free lunch", "democracy", "you can do anything" etc.
mircea_popescu: just because particular memes are well suited to the mental vulnerabilities of the early mind and so are noteworthy to educators and psychiatrists does not mean they're also noteworthy to engineers.
mircea_popescu: proof of pizza, for fucks sake. all the money in pizza delivery is the god damned tips. nobody will ever deliver pizza to the sort of idiots who bicker about times randomly. if this is how it went, why not have "proof of latte" to make sure the barrista really did give you the latte.
jayk: there's a website for them
jayk: i got flamed for calling them pizza boy
jayk: :)
mircea_popescu: who, "them"

mircea_popescu: what should you call them, pizza delivery worker ?

mircea_popescu: fluffypony that aside, how does this thing solve situatiosn where dns zones are ambiguous ? (say registrar and host don't match)
fluffypony: the registrar doesn't set DNS records, necessarily, only what the nameservers are (ie. SOA)
mircea_popescu: but it might.
fluffypony: since DNSSEC follows a signature chain back to the root zone your ISP's DNS server can't fake the record
mircea_popescu: (im still trying to understand exactly how this works)
fluffypony: or even pretend it doesn't exist
fluffypony: that said, a DNSSEC fail is a soft fail (as not all zones support DNSSEC at this stage) - so it'll present the address for user validation
mircea_popescu: so it can't be used in unattended systems ?
