mircea_popescu: the important bit for this convo being "nimeni nu are timp sa citeasca textele de specialitate cu ochi, uimiri si viteza de incepator, cu atentie si migala si "oare ce-a vrut sa spuna autorul" la fiecare cuvant. Nu-i fictiune, nu-i roman, e text stiintific, si se citesc cate zece mii de pagini pe an minim. Pentru a sustine eficienta muncii in stiinta se folosesc anumite cuvinte si structuri fixe ale caror sensuri se de
mircea_popescu: zbat amplu, se fixeaza definitiv, si apoi toti participantii la discutie le folosesc exact. Folosiri creative creeaza confuzie, si sunt de fapt principala bariera intre profesionisti si amatori in orice domeniu. Atunci esti admis ca profesionist in orice disciplina cind lumea considera ca ti se poate oferi increderea ca nu vei folosi niciodata, nicicand, niciunde, nici un termen de arta in sens impropriu. De asta se fa
mircea_popescu: c patru ani de scoala la drept si opt ani de scoala la medicina, creativitatea prost aplicata poate costa vieti, darima poduri, nenoroci destine. E INTERZISA."
mircea_popescu: nobody has time to read specialty text with beginner's eyes, wonderments and speed, with care and dedication and "i wonder what the author meant" every word. it's not fiction, it's not a novel, its science, you read ten thousand pages a year minimum.
mircea_popescu: to support work efficiency in science there are employed certain words and fixed structures, whose meanings are amply debated, definitivwely fixated and then every participant uses them exactly. creative usage creates confusion, and are in fact the main barrier between the pro and the amateur in any field.
mircea_popescu: at that point you are admitted as aprofessional in any discipline, when people consider that you may be trusted to never, ever, anywhere, use a term of art improperly. this is why they do four years' law and eight years' medical school, creativity malaplied can cost lives, topple bridges, destroy destinies. IT IS FORBIDDEN.
decimation: yes, which is why any profession worth a shit has a comprehensive specialty dictionary for exactly this reason

mircea_popescu: decimation hey, guy owns it.
decimation: note that this is the opposite of the earlier defense (it's his hobby)
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes another aproach, but entirely for someone looking to sink a lifetime into this, is examining the failures (iirc there were a couple in there). see if any way to leverage this
decimation: His boss told him he had to, you see. Everything will be better if you accept unicode into your heart
mircea_popescu: decimation they lack the proper words to express themselves. what they mean is that it his private, sovereign domain, and he does whatever the fuck he likes, and anyone who doesn't care for it can go dangle.
decimation: sure, but at the pain of making himself look like a retard when he goes off and does something retarded in the name of his domain
mircea_popescu: exactly at that pain.
mircea_popescu: "With the long transition to “Python 3 by default” still in progress, the question is occasionally raised as to whether or not the core Python developers are acting as reasonable stewards of the Python language. "
decimation: I'll hand it to him, the guy is verbose
mircea_popescu: this is a non-issue. there's no homesteading in software. some derps using X language don't acquire some sort of "rights", just like gavin, that "bitcoin chamber of commerce" pageant chick or max keiser did not acquire any sort of property over bitcoin by derping on the margins of it with abandon.
mircea_popescu: moreover, i don't get the following sort of nonsense : "One solution is to fork Python 2.7, and continue developing the language, adding features in a backwards compatible way so large, unportable (due to financial constraints) Python 2 applications can continue to evolve and improve and bring value to the people and companies that invested so much time developing them. "
decimation: ah but the implicit threat: "What would it take to make you change your minds about the current plan? An important thing to understand for anyone hoping to convince the core development team to change direction in regards to Python 3 development and promotion is to know that mere words aren’t enough, it’s going to take action. That action is defined in PEP 404: creating a Python 2.8 release (under a different name, however, since
decimation: Python refers specifically to the language versions endorsed by the core development team) and convincing people to use it."
decimation: You can't use the word Python! We have rights!
mircea_popescu: this reads very brokenly to my eye, for many reasons, such as : a) people who can't afford things get no voice. this is what "financial reasons" means : shut the fuck up and go home. if you are poor, you aren't a person.
mircea_popescu: b) why exactly is the expected "developing" ? afaik, a language should be set in stone. if this is the view entertained, what "evolution" the fuck do they wish ? if this isn't the view contemplated, why are they not on 3 yet!
mircea_popescu: c) if people and companies invested time in shit that doesn't offer them a roi, this means they are stupid and should be punished. in no case does it mean they should get some compensatory candy.
decimation: yes, the whole document reads as a retroactive justification for guido's missteps. "no no, you see it was a clever strategy to release python 3 in a way that made it seem that it sucked ass."
mircea_popescu: decimation the quote was from some "python is killing python" post.
decimation: maybe this stuff should be added to the various grounds for a google fiduciary lawsuit
mircea_popescu: anyway, i don't get it. if the language was good, who cares about a fork ? it can be ignored like gavincoin, or burned to the ground at that. if the language sucked, then well... ?
mircea_popescu: decimation if they don't have the balls to step all over the "pep" and "rights" of the "core team" and do whatever they will, they probably don't have the strength to matter anyway.
decimation: yeah this is a good point. and it gives more ammunition to the idea that if one is using python, one should consider stepping away
mircea_popescu: i dunno that it makes any difference, really. if one is using python (or anything else) correctly, they pick something, and stick with it.
mircea_popescu: for instance : ubuntu sucks ass, especially the new versions, and the early ones. nevertheless, i use 10.04 as an easement / windows halfway house for all sorts of people.
mircea_popescu: this is unlikely to EVER change. i tried to move it to gentoo but the attempt burned, toppled and sunk into the swamp.
mircea_popescu: so why do i care what ubuntu does ? i got the 10.04 burned. it's mine. forgetaboutit!
decimation: it goes back to what asciilifeform was complaining about re: drivers. You are gonna have to buy new hardware at some point, and then you are going to have to rev everything to support it
mircea_popescu: i kinda doubt i will ever again buy new hardware.
mircea_popescu: unless they make wetware cpus, stuff's good as is.

mircea_popescu: note for instance that the various "emergency problem - update required" stuff is in NEW-ish versions. like, heartbleed ? ubuntu 10.04 was fine. 12.04 ? owned.
decimation: well, if you can live on a hardware baseline, then you have the luxury of clamping down on software upgrade shit
mircea_popescu: for that matter, gnupg 1.4.x works just fine, and come to think about it the pogos are being raped with software that's a decade old.
decimation: note, this is exactly how any 'adult' program works: they were flying 80's era cpus in the space shuttle for the entire program because that was the baseline, and the software worked
mircea_popescu: yup. i am well aware.
decimation: same with aircraft, etc. nobody feels the need to 'upgrade' how a 777 works internally. you want new avionics? buy a new plane

decimation: I've got mixed feelings about this book, but it does talk about the decline in american managerial culture
mircea_popescu: decimation so for my own education (not following python much) is the 2/3 split primarily centered around unicode vs posix ?
decimation: yeah pretty much
mircea_popescu: seems like an excellent reason to fork.
mircea_popescu: make 2.8, zero unicode support. ascii or bust.
decimation: python 3 supports 'a better text model to support unicode' rather than 'posix with unicode bolted on'
decimation: apparently there are some folks who want to do exactly that
mircea_popescu: " It should be at least possible for users to start learning the basics of Python without having to first learn English as a prerequisite (even if English remains a requirement for full participation in the global Python and open source ecosystems)." << this is pretty retarded.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck would anyone even contemplate this.
mircea_popescu: you don't speak english, you don't get to use computers. back to the cave.
trinque: that's the condescending democratic notion of "them"
trinque: that you have to help
trinque: guido built a language for "them"
mircea_popescu: seems bizarre seeing how the earlier stuff was predicated on "we want to make the language WE enjoy using". what, guido doesn't speak english ?!
decimation: apparently guido's hobby is to convert python into a trojan horse for derpy utopianism
decimation: you know the next step... anyone who doesn't buy into python 3 is a racsis...
mircea_popescu: so how do you denote zhe in armenian ?
mircea_popescu: One key consequence of this is that the interpreter core in Python 3 is far more tolerant of paths that contain Unicode characters on Windows (so, for example, having a non-ASCII character in your username should no longer cause any problems with running Python scripts from your home directory on Windows).

fluffypony: "You've been wandering around telling people that the blocksize will increase soon for months, when there is very clearly no consensus that it should in the short-term future. The only answer to this that anyone with a clue should give is "it will very, very likely be able to support at least 1MB blocks roughly every 10 minutes on average for the next eleven years, and it seems likely that a block size increase of some form will
fluffypony: happen at some point in the next eleven years", anything else is dishonest."

jurov: nice round number

fluffypony: funkenstein_: no idea, Gavin said this -
fluffypony: "I would very much like to find some concrete course of action that we can come to consensus on. Some compromise so we can tell entrepreneurs "THIS is how much transaction volume the main Bitcoin blockchain will be able to support over the next eleven years.""
jurov: gmaxwell:"Unfortunately, every indicator I can think of except fee totals has been going in the wrong direction almost monotonically along with the blockchain size increase since 2012"

mod6: got my pogo today :]
asciilifeform: congrats mod6 !
mod6: now i gotta get a drive, solder & soldering iron.
mod6: and some wires... and a serial port
asciilifeform: the soldering thing is not 100% essential
asciilifeform: (but very convenient)
mod6: ok. i've gotta read through all of the docs & logs like 3 times before I play with it.
mod6: i do need some EE practice anyway.
mod6: i gotta get one of those little chips too!

mod6: i was talking actually about the other little guy.
asciilifeform: esp8266 ?

mod6 is excited
asciilifeform: if not very practiced with soldering iron, get the variant with pins
asciilifeform: that one can sit down on a breadboard
mod6: ah, ok. only $3 on ebay. ~$8-10 on amazon

mod6: ah, ok. seems right.
mod6: breadboard is only $7
mod6: there is a 75pc wire pack looks like i might need too, ~$5
mod6: i will zap myself. question is, how many times lol
asciilifeform: with 5v? l0l
mod6: ah, *whew* guess you're right. no worries.
asciilifeform: (notably, esp8266 is a 3v part. don't overvolt it)
mod6: hmm. how do you regulate the input voltage?
mod6: well, actually, best to talk about this later when i actually /have/ the stuff. heheh.
mod6 is like EE preschooler.

asciilifeform: it is clearly marked, i wrote it based on a syllable set published (sorta) by old mr mold
asciilifeform: try it out.
asciilifeform: will give a good sense for how common lisp's bit-diddling primitives work.
asciilifeform: at least - some of them
ben_vulpes: did this syllable set (or some derivative) end up in urbit?
asciilifeform: some variant of it
